Speaker 1 (00:22):
If I am six forty, it's later with mo Kelly.
I said Happy Friday before. I don't know, can I
say Happy Monday. It seems like a contradiction in terms,
if you're happy for Friday, then you can't really be
happy for Monday, can you. Well, nonetheless, we're gonna just
gonna press forward. Happy Monday, and I hope you had
a wonderful weekend. I had a great weekend. Spent some
(00:43):
time with my mother, my wife, went out to brunch,
met up with my sister and her husband. So just
relaxing day. Taught some hot keito classes. Did nothing on
Sunday except laundry and cleaning. I'm completely domesticated. Sunday was
just for cleaning up the house nice and I didn't
And I was listening out to hear if I could
(01:04):
hear the Hard Summer tour right next to Sofi Stadium.
I don't know if I heard it. What do you
mean you don't know? I don't know. Because there were
two parties going on in my housing development. There was
a graduation party, which is weird because graduation I thought
was like in June. But they said it was a
graduation party. Maybe it was a college send off party
(01:27):
or something like that. Maybe be like a trade school graduation.
Those that just happened. Oh really, okay, okay, Well there
was a graduation party, as they called it, and there
was some other party going on, and they both had DJs,
so the music was competing. I don't know if I
heard that party, if I heard the Hard Summer Music
Festival party in Inglewood. We'll get into that at the
(01:49):
bottom of the hour. But it was it was a
it was a full weekend, but it was a good weekend.
I didn't get caught up in any of the foolishness
of the Hard Summer Music Festival when someone even got
shot at an after party, So you know, that was
That was my weekend. What was yours? Like to Wallow? Oh,
that's a sleep low. Isn't that the best? Though? It is?
(02:09):
It is. I don't think I did really anything, man,
sleep just chilling, Stephan, What about yourself? I went out.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I was actually Irvine on Saturday, so so I was like,
why didn't I hear the music? But I was out
because it wasn't a three day weekend thing, so that
was just Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Okay, So maybe I just didn't catch it. But Sunday
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I went to bed pretty early, kind of like Talla,
I was trying to catch up on Scow.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You're getting old. There comes a time in every man's life.
Can't speak for women, but every man gets to a
point where like I can either go out or I
can get a full night's sleep, and the full night's
sleep begins to be the better option. If I haven't
left the house by nine o'clock, I'm not going anywhere.
(02:49):
If I have to already be out at nine o'clock,
I'm not going to leave because there are too many
reasons not to go out after nine o'clock. I mean
leaving the house. Oh no, no, no, I can't do
it like I used to. But we have some great
stories we have to cover today, and it's almost like
someone was looking out for me. When I saw this
story about the large great white shark spotted in Santa
(03:11):
Monica waters, I said, yeah, yeah, you shouldn't have been
in the water anyhow, because it was feces everywhere, and
now on top of feces, got a great white shark
out there. I don't mean to be cold and callous,
but if your ass dies because of that great white
shark that everyone knows is out there. That's on you.
(03:34):
That is your fault. You know it's there, and you
go out in the water. Shame on you, Shame on you. You
will be on dying time. I could promise you. Oh absolutely,
thank you Hillary for that. And we will tell you
about the hard Summer Music festival at the bottom of
the yeah, at the bottom of the hour. And we
have great news for California. We're number one. We're number
(03:55):
one in unemployment. We're number one for unemployment again in
the country. How about that. We're gonna go be on
the box score with Jackie Ray And get this, did
you hear that someone or someone's they've been throwing sex
toys on the court in the form of very long
(04:16):
rubber Johnson's flex flex yes on the court during the
game multiple times, talk about stepping on your never mind, yes,
come on, Stephan, don't be so stingy Early in the show, Mark,
(04:41):
I'm starting to agree with you. He doesn't even look
for the rim shut. He doesn't know what it is.
He always has to look for like, oh my gosh,
I don't know what folder is in. I think he
thinks they cost him money. Every time, so he's kind
of stingy with him. Oh goodness, and that joke was
on the fly. I thought of it in the moment.
Was good? Evidently not. I had to cajole you can
(05:03):
get a rim shot because it took me a second
to get to the button, but I got there. We
have a hormone free male contraceptive pill which has passed
its first safety test. Look, you can pass all the
safety tests. Men are not gonna use it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Men are not. I don't know. We are so lazy. Look,
we are lazy.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That's why it would be easier to just swallow a
couple of these than then roll.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Then roll.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
People can swallow a couple of these than better that
than than all the time?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You know, dudes, better than.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, I was gonna say, then rolling it on?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You say, take two of these or spend time? Hold on,
hold on, Yes, you have to rip rip the wrapper.
Then you got to hold gotta you can get to
roll it down. Come on, No one wants to do
all that. Hold on, hold on, let me take a
couple of leads. Yeah, take I would you're good in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I guess we'd have to see if it's uh, it's efficacy,
you know, or we're talking about eighty five percent ninety
two percent? Oh, we can't, we can't be having you
know that low. Well look, look, I'm not gonna talk
about anyone's life, but I heard the female consciraceptor pill
was not more than like ninety eight percent effective.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
All I'm saying is, if this one allows us to
grow a little extra hair, I'm all.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The way with it. It's later with mo Kelly. When
we come back, we'll tell you about that great white
shark spotted in Santa Monica waters. Next. Now, let's go
to Mark Ronner. I didn't get to say hello to you.
Mark officially. Hello, Mo. I missed you this weekend. I
missed you too. You complete me. Thank thank god. The
family is all back together. That's right, that's right, all right,
(06:54):
now you can leave. Family can't stay too long. Yeah.
That was uncomfortable, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You're listening too Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Forty winbo Kelly one K six Live everywhere on YouTube
and the iHeartRadio app. And we often talk about why
I don't necessarily go in the water that's just me.
I'm not a big water person. I was when I
was younger. I would go to the beach in boogie boarding,
(07:25):
but that was when I was an adolescent, but not
as an adult, and definitely not at this point in
my life. And I say, like, I look at it
differently because I know what's in the water. We've got
sting rays, you got sharks, you got poop and other feces.
Not probably a place where most people would want to
be if you knew everything that was in the water.
(07:46):
We told you last week about all the beaches which
had exceeded recommended bacteria safe bacteria levels. We said, hey,
you know, stay out of the water this weekend. Well,
there's also another reason to stay out of the water.
You've probably seen the used by now of a roughly
fifteen foot great white shark, meaning it's an adult fifteen
(08:07):
foot and it was captured on video. They had a
drone looking for things just like this over the Santa
Monica waters right near the pier and it was seen
about one hundred and fifty feet fifty yards away from shore.
One hundred and fifty feet is not far at all.
You're still in the shallow water. Portion of that beach area.
(08:28):
And if you didn't know, juvenile great white sharks are
relatively common in shallow waters, why because it's a good
place for them to feed. But this is not even
a juvenile at fifteen feet they're saying. This is a
full grown adult hanging out in shallow water. And the
(08:48):
only reasonable assumption it would be doing that is it
wants the warmer waters, as we're told, and it's also
there to feed. So the great white shark thinks that
there is food. There's a food source relatively close by,
could be fish, could be anything swimming in the area.
But after you've been told that there is a great
white right off Santa Monica Pier, if you then get
(09:11):
in the water, I don't know what to tell you.
Now Here are the stats. There have been fifteen shark
related deaths in California waters since nineteen fifty. That's not
a lot. But who wants to be one of the
fifteen or the sixteenth or the next one. I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna test fate. And you know, I'm
(09:33):
quite sure if Joe Kwandmer here or Matt money Smith
were here, they say, oh, they're still gonna go surfing.
Not me, no, sir, not me. And this is just
what we know at the moment. What I mean by
that is this is a drone. They saw footage of it.
But it doesn't mean that it's the only shark out there.
I would have to assume that the Great White is
(09:54):
not completely by itself.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I want you to think about something, mo. You've seen
my car, yes, I have mark. You've seen my car. Right,
it's a tank. It's a tank. It's pretty big. Foods,
you've seen it, right, yeah, yeah, okay, this great White
is literally bigger than my car. My car is fourteen
feet long and the width of my car is about
(10:19):
just seven feet across.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Stop bragging about yourself. A car's got some girl, I'm okay.
But this Great White, this Great White is fifteen I
got to bring race into it now because it's great.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Fifteen seats and eight feet across.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So it is it is literally, yeah, comparable to your car.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Put put a thin and some dorsals on on my car,
and it's a great white torristle.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's a big ass shark. It's a big ass shark.
And if you encounter the shark, there is no outswimming
it you're not going to fight a great white, You're not.
It's while you hold yeah, I mean you're supposed to
punch him in the nose, punch of those pokem in
the eye, all that kind of stuff. Okay, good luck
with that. Good luck all stuff that could lead you
to just get in your arm ripped off. That's right.
(11:07):
You know. Do you know how fast they are? I know,
I know, you see it's this cruising in the water.
They're very fast, and they're temperamental. I mean, punching it
in the nose, I don't know if it's going to
send it away. I don't know if you try to
stab it in the eye that it won't get madder
and then be more intent on eating you. Yeah, I mean,
I guess if it's if it's you know, if it's
already clamped down on your mid section and it's pulling
(11:30):
you out in the ocean, yeah, might as well just
take a stab at his eye. What do you got
to lose? You're gonna die anyway. You're either gonna bleed
out or he's gonna drown you.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Now, you gotta hope when it gets you, you're in
a position where you can't get to its eyes. Oh,
I know, eyes are pretty far away from its mouth.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I know. And honestly, if it's grabbing you around your
your your you know, your legs or something, I don't
know how you get to it. Those are all great ideas,
but I don't know about reality, you know, the in theory, Yes,
you would probably want to try to poke its eyes
(12:04):
out one of the places where it's probably vulnerable. But
you got to get past the teeth. Gotta get past
the teeth. I don't know how exactly gonna get that done.
Or you could do like I do and just stay
out of the water. You could and avoid the rows
of teeth. It's not just teeth, it's like three rows,
three rows, yeah, and they grow back. Yeah. Can you
just see like a great white up close? Not like
(12:24):
in the water clothes, but just in general, the size
of the mouth. How can easily ingest you?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I I know, we always thought tee, have you ever been?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I just thought about it.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I was always afraid of the water, leading to my
never wanted to go on a cruise because I can't
think of a time when I've ever been cool getting
in the water. I've never liked the ocean, never this
is one of the reasons. Not that there's a great
white just cruise in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No, there is, there is, Jesus Mark, When was the
last time you were in the ocean? I can't even
tell you when it's been that long. I wouldn't go in.
When was the last time you were in the ocean? Uh?
I probably say like maybe five six years ago? You fool?
Where were you swimming? What was it?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Circumstances? But uh, I was just with friends that behind
the beach. Okay, locally, See.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I've been ocean, fresh water lakes, all that kind of stuff.
But that was forty years ago. Wait, Carnesia, you're new
out here and I never been in the ocean and
you would never see me deep in the ocean like that,
right right with the water come in over your feet
in the saying that. That's what I'm saying. That's what
the rays are. That's with before I deal with a shark.
(13:38):
Isn't a sting ray? What killed Steve rt Irwin? Oh
you know what? Yeah? It was Okay, I take that back.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
He caught you don't want that? Yeah, that was instant
that too. He had a cardiac rest right when the
things stung him in the heart the chest.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
People want to say like it's no big deal. No,
it is a big deal, and I don't want anything
bad to happen to anyone. But if it happens to
you after you've been warned, then I might laugh at
you and make fun of you, and yes, you will
end up in dying time and we'll just have to
just you know, just have to. I mean, the water's
dirty and it's dangerous, okay, And if you still want
(14:17):
to go out there and risk it and eating or
stepping on a sting ray or ingesting poop, then okay,
then okay, I mean it's on you. You know. It's
Later with mo Kelly KFIM six forty. We're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app and YouTube. We're going to talk
about that hard summer music fest in Inglewood over the
weekend and whether it was as loud as it was
(14:40):
last year where you had some eight different cities and
police departments complaining about the noise. Was it as bad
this year? We'll tell you next.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Mister Kelly here letter with Mon Kelly. We're live everywhere
on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and iHeartRadio app. And I don't
live in Inglewood. I live in LA one street over
from Inglewood, so you just know in proximity, I'm three
point seven miles from Sofi Stadium, So anything that happens
in Inglewood, I know about. I see, I hear all
of that and what I hear from most people in Inglewood.
(15:24):
In general, the traffic is horrible, and it's been that
way since they dropped Sofi Stadium there because Sofi Stadium
is on Centriy Boulevard. Centriy Boulevard is not physically large
enough to handle all the traffic. You have Centriy Boulevard,
and parallel to that you have Manchester Avenue, also a
relatively small street. When you're talking about a number of
(15:48):
sports and entertainment venues, you have Sofi Stadium, you have
the Into It Dome, which just open for the Clippers.
You have the Key of Form which the Lakers used
to play with us, the Great Western Forum, and you
have the YouTube Theater. And they're all on the same street,
the same street, within one mile of each other, so
(16:10):
you could imagine the traffic is just horrible. The noise
in that area is horrible, having nothing to do with
the hard Summer festival. So I just say that so
you know, when residents complain, it's not just about this,
it's about all of that, and you have to keep
that in its proper perspective. But Inglewood residents are upset
(16:33):
about this hard summer festival, hard summer music festival we
talked about, which was blowing everyone's ears out last year,
but this year they had even more people. But there
was a question of whether the noise was going to
be unbearable once again because they had tens of thousands
of people. Talk about traffic flocking to Hollywood Park next
(16:56):
to Sofi Stadium for this festival, which is just away
from the Kia form which I was just telling you about.
And Lady Gaga was the closing act and also the
closing out her Los Angeles leg of the Mayhem Ball Tour.
There was a wide variety of musical choices, different types
(17:16):
of styles, so you had a very very mixed crowd
in that regard to depending on your music preferences. As
far as the noise and music, I could faintly I
think hear some of the banging and bumping. It wasn't
as clear as last year. Last year I could tell
you what the song was. Now it just seemed like
(17:36):
there was a party really really often in the distance,
and it wasn't as intrusive as the year before. And
now I also told you it was a Saturday and
Sunday festival. I didn't hear anything on Saturday. I think
I heard more on Sunday and Sunday. I told you
there were also some competing parties in my housing developments,
(18:00):
So that made it unclear as far as how much
I was hearing of the festival or was I hearing
of just parties around me. But Inglewood, they've been a
victim of their own success. If you think about bringing
the Rams to Inglewood, the Rams didn't come to LA,
they came to Inglewood. If you talk about the Chargers,
and now KFI is the voice of the Chargers bringing
(18:20):
the Chargers to Inglewood, now to LA that area economically,
it's been very, very successful for the city and I
making the distinction successful for the city as opposed to
the residents. The residents the only real benefit for them
has been the appreciation. If you're a homeowner, if you
(18:43):
already owned your home. It's worth more now than five
years ago. But if you were renting, there are a
lot of neighborhoods where people were just forced out because
the renters, the landlords were able to double people's rent
if not more overnight or if you were let's say
a month to month lease or a year lease, whatever
your lease expired, they would say you can stay, but
(19:06):
you're probably gonna pay two to three times more. And
I'm not exaggerating before Sofi Stadium, I'm just saying arbitrarily,
you could find a two bedroom in Inglewood around twelve
thirteen hundred, around twelve to thirty two hundred. Now now you'd
be hard pressed to find anything a two bedroom under
(19:26):
thirty five hundred. No way, no way. And if you
lived in Inglewood at the time, you weren't going to
continue to live in Inglewood because it was it was
you know, relative to the community in which you were
living financially economically, you could pay the twelve hundred, you
probably couldn't pay thirty five hundred. If you could, you
wouldn't be living in Inglewood back then because it didn't
(19:49):
have any of the stadiums, it didn't have the performance theaters,
and by that extension, I mean also the jobs which
came with it. Inglewood was more like a city you
drove through. It was not a destination city. With the
exception of the Forum, that was about it. That was
and even then after the Lakers left, it was just
(20:12):
a church. So it really didn't have a reason for
people to go to Inglewood unless you were going to
see friends. That's about it. I mean that was the
only time I was going to Inglewood. Housing was relatively
moderately priced in the early two thousands. That no longer
(20:32):
is the case. You want to get like a three
to four bedroom house or townhouse that's over a million Inglewood.
Don't forget the businesses. The impact also had to go
because they couldn't afford the rent anymore. And I say
all of that to say when we talk about the
(20:53):
complaints of the hard Summer music festival, you have to
put it within the context of that. They're not just
complaining about the music festival. They're complaining about the insane parking.
And this is now going to be the worst part
of the year for Inglewood residents because Sofi Stadium will
(21:13):
have a game every single week. It will be either
the Rams or the Chargers, and then you get into
September October, which is the beginning of the preseason for
NBA basketball. Then you have the Clippers in town most likely,
and in the concert season you will always have something
going on at the Kia Form or the YouTube Theater.
(21:33):
So the complaints are not just about the summer festival.
It's the latest thing which is a problem. As far
as people who live in Inglewood day to day. It's
been great for the price of real estate if you own,
but outside of that, it's been a nightmare. I just
know on certain days I don't go through Inglewood, if
(21:55):
only because I can't drive through it. I know that
I cannot get through uh uh a Century Boulevard or
Manchester Avenue on a Sunday. So I just tried to
say south of Inglewood, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
A couple of a couple of weekends ago, I was
actually in Inglewood and I went to an event that
was right next to Iconics. And when I drove over there,
I drove past the stadium and I drove into that
complex where U.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I is here, Hollywood Park.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's all into it all right there, And like when
I left out, I was like, because I hadn't been
in Inglewood in so long, it was really disorienting all
the buildings. So when I was driving down, uh, since
I passed by the Forum, I'm.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like, damn it, this is where I am. I had
no idea where I was.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Prairie, yeah, straight down. I straight went right past the
Forum and was like, I'll be damn this is where
I was this whole time.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Wow, it does not look like what it once looked like.
You know, you go buy Hollywood Park and that's the
Hollywood Park retail district. Racetrack obviously isn't there anymore, and
you have all these other businesses, you have Cosm and
so forth and iconics. To Jim, it's a yes, it's
good for urban renewal, but it hasn't been good if
(23:14):
you happen to be some of the people who could
not benefit from that urban renewal.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Interestingly enough, I did not see the urban renewal spreading
that far.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Into Oh no, no, it's just those two streets. It's
just it's just Centriet. It's just Manchester from here to here.
I looked over. I was like, so when is this
gonna get built up? Because this still looks like, you know,
get mugged, get shot. I don't know they have a
hotel that they're gonna be building, and I think some
movie theaters as well, but it's still connected to basically
(23:47):
the stadiums in that particular area. And but you know,
but then it pushes people further out and as far
as trying to if you want to buy property, gonna
it's gonna take a pretty penny there. Now. Yeah, it
looks like it. It looks like it. So just know
these complaints aren't about all about hard summer music festival.
It's just about, Hey, there are a lot of things
(24:08):
going on in eagle Wood which is making it difficult
to live here on a day to day basis. It's
Later with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app and YouTube. Be sure to join
the mobigos and be part of the motown chat, be
part of the show as well. Be reading some of
your comments in the next segment. And now when we
come back, then we got to tell you about more
(24:29):
bad news in California. We're number one unemployment.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
KFI. Mister Mokelly here. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app and also live on YouTube the video simulcast, so
you can join us on YouTube at mister mo Kelly,
m R m ok E L L Y. The friends
of the show, we call them the mo Migos. They
have the Motown Chat where they get to interact with
me and Carnesia who runs the chat, and also interject
(25:04):
on some of the subjects. And I guess right now
they're talking about home depot and hammers. I don't know
how they got there. But also they made mention of
that New World the World's movie on Amazon Prime starring
ice Cube. No Bueno. Oh it was bad. It is
so bad. I was mad that I spent the free
(25:28):
time that I had with it. What was it? War
of the World? Oh on prob The trailer looked absolutely awful. No,
the movie itself is much worse. It seemed like they
had limited budget, like four dollars and ice Cube was
paid three of them. Now, the idea was not bad,
(25:48):
the execution very quickly. He's like an NSA analyst and
he's he's he's high up. He has a lot of power,
when it comes to national security, and then he is
the centerpiece for this, you know, War of the World's invasion.
It is based on HG. Well, so there were some
things that you would recognize and it was just implausible.
(26:11):
It's all about social media and the whole movie is
done through his monitor. Yeah, that looks so tedious. All
of his phone calls, his skype calls, his text messages,
and everything is kind of like shaky phone cam footage
as he's talking to other people. Is it advertised anywhere?
(26:33):
Because I didn't even know about until the momigo started
talking about. Hopefully they didn't advertise and spend any money
on it. Oh boy, I don't think Spielberg and Cruse
have much to worry about. No, no, no, not at all.
It was It was even worse than that TV show
War of the World they had about three four years ago.
It was on EPICX. Oh. I never saw that. But
if you haven't seen the original War of the World's
(26:53):
with Jean Berry, it holds up really well. It does
super entertainment and it's probably the best of the lot,
all things considered, for eras and that kind of thing. Yeah,
so join us. Then, amongst the mobigos and weighing on
the chat. We'll talk about some of the things that
you're talking about, but very quickly before we end this hour,
have to tell you about this. There's bad news, and
(27:14):
then there is the perspective and context of the bad news.
Here's the bad news. California's five point four percent unemployment
rate for June twenty twenty five is the worst in
the country, and it tied Nevada for the number one
jobless rate among the fifty states. Michigan was the third
(27:34):
highest at five point three percent, followed by Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio,
and Oregon at four point nine percent. So we are
the worst, but not by a lot. You wonder, well,
who's the best. Here's the question, now, who can find
a job in South Dakota. Their unemployment rate is one
(27:54):
point eight percent. Not as many people, not as many jobs,
not really any desire to go to South Dakota. Then
there's North Dakota at two point five percent, and then
Vermont at two point six percent. And if you're wondering,
Texas was number eighteen at four percent and Florida was
number twenty six at three point seven percent. Here is though,
(28:18):
the larger context me think like, oh my gosh, five
point four percent is so horrible. It's not good. But
look at it this way. June twenty twenty five was
the nineteenth time that California ranked first in unemployment. Is
in the highest dating back to January of nineteen seventy six,
(28:43):
we have routinely, regardless of who was in power, who
was governor, who ran the state Senate, well, who ran
the state Assembly, we have consistently been near the top
when it comes to unemployment. June twenty twenty five was
the nineteenth time since nineteen seventy six the California was
(29:08):
ranked number one. But I still wouldn't leave. And part
of that is because, you know, my industries kind of here.
If I were not in radio, I'm not moving to
North Dakota or South Dakota. Oh they'd love you in
South Dakota. Oh, I'm sure they would not, And I'm
not going to meet them in South Dakota. Also, there's
less than a million people in that whole state. It's
(29:30):
weird to compare them to us with forty million. That's
the context part of the discussion. Yes, if your unemployment
is one point eight percent, but you only have I
don't know, eight hundred thousand people or whatever. What does
that mean big? Sure, it doesn't mean a lot. Forty million. Yeah,
it's not only is there no comparison, it's not even
the same universe. Yeah, put one or two people to
(29:51):
work hosing down a cow or something, and here employment employed.
The percentage shoots up. Okay, if I aim six forty
one live everywhere in the heart radio app A f
Speaker 4 (30:01):
I and KOs T H D two, Los Angeles, Orange
County more stimulating,
If I am six forty, it's later with mo Kelly.
I said Happy Friday before. I don't know, can I
say Happy Monday. It seems like a contradiction in terms,
if you're happy for Friday, then you can't really be
happy for Monday, can you. Well, nonetheless, we're gonna just
gonna press forward. Happy Monday, and I hope you had
a wonderful weekend. I had a great weekend. Spent some
(00:43):
time with my mother, my wife, went out to brunch,
met up with my sister and her husband. So just
relaxing day. Taught some hot keito classes. Did nothing on
Sunday except laundry and cleaning. I'm completely domesticated. Sunday was
just for cleaning up the house nice and I didn't
And I was listening out to hear if I could
(01:04):
hear the Hard Summer tour right next to Sofi Stadium.
I don't know if I heard it. What do you
mean you don't know? I don't know. Because there were
two parties going on in my housing development. There was
a graduation party, which is weird because graduation I thought
was like in June. But they said it was a
graduation party. Maybe it was a college send off party
(01:27):
or something like that. Maybe be like a trade school graduation.
Those that just happened. Oh really, okay, okay, Well there
was a graduation party, as they called it, and there
was some other party going on, and they both had DJs,
so the music was competing. I don't know if I
heard that party, if I heard the Hard Summer Music
Festival party in Inglewood. We'll get into that at the
(01:49):
bottom of the hour. But it was it was a
it was a full weekend, but it was a good weekend.
I didn't get caught up in any of the foolishness
of the Hard Summer Music Festival when someone even got
shot at an after party, So you know, that was
That was my weekend. What was yours? Like to Wallow? Oh,
that's a sleep low. Isn't that the best? Though? It is?
(02:09):
It is. I don't think I did really anything, man,
sleep just chilling, Stephan, What about yourself? I went out.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I was actually Irvine on Saturday, so so I was like,
why didn't I hear the music? But I was out
because it wasn't a three day weekend thing, so that
was just Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Okay, So maybe I just didn't catch it. But Sunday
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I went to bed pretty early, kind of like Talla,
I was trying to catch up on Scow.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You're getting old. There comes a time in every man's life.
Can't speak for women, but every man gets to a
point where like I can either go out or I
can get a full night's sleep, and the full night's
sleep begins to be the better option. If I haven't
left the house by nine o'clock, I'm not going anywhere.
(02:49):
If I have to already be out at nine o'clock,
I'm not going to leave because there are too many
reasons not to go out after nine o'clock. I mean
leaving the house. Oh no, no, no, I can't do
it like I used to. But we have some great
stories we have to cover today, and it's almost like
someone was looking out for me. When I saw this
story about the large great white shark spotted in Santa
(03:11):
Monica waters, I said, yeah, yeah, you shouldn't have been
in the water anyhow, because it was feces everywhere, and
now on top of feces, got a great white shark
out there. I don't mean to be cold and callous,
but if your ass dies because of that great white
shark that everyone knows is out there. That's on you.
(03:34):
That is your fault. You know it's there, and you
go out in the water. Shame on you, Shame on you. You
will be on dying time. I could promise you. Oh absolutely,
thank you Hillary for that. And we will tell you
about the hard Summer Music festival at the bottom of
the yeah, at the bottom of the hour. And we
have great news for California. We're number one. We're number
(03:55):
one in unemployment. We're number one for unemployment again in
the country. How about that. We're gonna go be on
the box score with Jackie Ray And get this, did
you hear that someone or someone's they've been throwing sex
toys on the court in the form of very long
(04:16):
rubber Johnson's flex flex yes on the court during the
game multiple times, talk about stepping on your never mind, yes,
come on, Stephan, don't be so stingy Early in the show, Mark,
(04:41):
I'm starting to agree with you. He doesn't even look
for the rim shut. He doesn't know what it is.
He always has to look for like, oh my gosh,
I don't know what folder is in. I think he
thinks they cost him money. Every time, so he's kind
of stingy with him. Oh goodness, and that joke was
on the fly. I thought of it in the moment.
Was good? Evidently not. I had to cajole you can
(05:03):
get a rim shot because it took me a second
to get to the button, but I got there. We
have a hormone free male contraceptive pill which has passed
its first safety test. Look, you can pass all the
safety tests. Men are not gonna use it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Men are not. I don't know. We are so lazy. Look,
we are lazy.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That's why it would be easier to just swallow a
couple of these than then roll.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Then roll.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
People can swallow a couple of these than better that
than than all the time?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You know, dudes, better than.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, I was gonna say, then rolling it on?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You say, take two of these or spend time? Hold on,
hold on, Yes, you have to rip rip the wrapper.
Then you got to hold gotta you can get to
roll it down. Come on, No one wants to do
all that. Hold on, hold on, let me take a
couple of leads. Yeah, take I would you're good in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I guess we'd have to see if it's uh, it's efficacy,
you know, or we're talking about eighty five percent ninety
two percent? Oh, we can't, we can't be having you
know that low. Well look, look, I'm not gonna talk
about anyone's life, but I heard the female consciraceptor pill
was not more than like ninety eight percent effective.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
All I'm saying is, if this one allows us to
grow a little extra hair, I'm all.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The way with it. It's later with mo Kelly. When
we come back, we'll tell you about that great white
shark spotted in Santa Monica waters. Next. Now, let's go
to Mark Ronner. I didn't get to say hello to you.
Mark officially. Hello, Mo. I missed you this weekend. I
missed you too. You complete me. Thank thank god. The
family is all back together. That's right, that's right, all right,
(06:54):
now you can leave. Family can't stay too long. Yeah.
That was uncomfortable, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You're listening too Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Forty winbo Kelly one K six Live everywhere on YouTube
and the iHeartRadio app. And we often talk about why
I don't necessarily go in the water that's just me.
I'm not a big water person. I was when I
was younger. I would go to the beach in boogie boarding,
(07:25):
but that was when I was an adolescent, but not
as an adult, and definitely not at this point in
my life. And I say, like, I look at it
differently because I know what's in the water. We've got
sting rays, you got sharks, you got poop and other feces.
Not probably a place where most people would want to
be if you knew everything that was in the water.
(07:46):
We told you last week about all the beaches which
had exceeded recommended bacteria safe bacteria levels. We said, hey,
you know, stay out of the water this weekend. Well,
there's also another reason to stay out of the water.
You've probably seen the used by now of a roughly
fifteen foot great white shark, meaning it's an adult fifteen
(08:07):
foot and it was captured on video. They had a
drone looking for things just like this over the Santa
Monica waters right near the pier and it was seen
about one hundred and fifty feet fifty yards away from shore.
One hundred and fifty feet is not far at all.
You're still in the shallow water. Portion of that beach area.
(08:28):
And if you didn't know, juvenile great white sharks are
relatively common in shallow waters, why because it's a good
place for them to feed. But this is not even
a juvenile at fifteen feet they're saying. This is a
full grown adult hanging out in shallow water. And the
(08:48):
only reasonable assumption it would be doing that is it
wants the warmer waters, as we're told, and it's also
there to feed. So the great white shark thinks that
there is food. There's a food source relatively close by,
could be fish, could be anything swimming in the area.
But after you've been told that there is a great
white right off Santa Monica Pier, if you then get
(09:11):
in the water, I don't know what to tell you.
Now Here are the stats. There have been fifteen shark
related deaths in California waters since nineteen fifty. That's not
a lot. But who wants to be one of the
fifteen or the sixteenth or the next one. I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna test fate. And you know, I'm
(09:33):
quite sure if Joe Kwandmer here or Matt money Smith
were here, they say, oh, they're still gonna go surfing.
Not me, no, sir, not me. And this is just
what we know at the moment. What I mean by
that is this is a drone. They saw footage of it.
But it doesn't mean that it's the only shark out there.
I would have to assume that the Great White is
(09:54):
not completely by itself.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I want you to think about something, mo. You've seen
my car, yes, I have mark. You've seen my car. Right,
it's a tank. It's a tank. It's pretty big. Foods,
you've seen it, right, yeah, yeah, okay, this great White
is literally bigger than my car. My car is fourteen
feet long and the width of my car is about
(10:19):
just seven feet across.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Stop bragging about yourself. A car's got some girl, I'm okay.
But this Great White, this Great White is fifteen I
got to bring race into it now because it's great.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Fifteen seats and eight feet across.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So it is it is literally, yeah, comparable to your car.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Put put a thin and some dorsals on on my car,
and it's a great white torristle.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's a big ass shark. It's a big ass shark.
And if you encounter the shark, there is no outswimming
it you're not going to fight a great white, You're not.
It's while you hold yeah, I mean you're supposed to
punch him in the nose, punch of those pokem in
the eye, all that kind of stuff. Okay, good luck
with that. Good luck all stuff that could lead you
to just get in your arm ripped off. That's right.
(11:07):
You know. Do you know how fast they are? I know,
I know, you see it's this cruising in the water.
They're very fast, and they're temperamental. I mean, punching it
in the nose, I don't know if it's going to
send it away. I don't know if you try to
stab it in the eye that it won't get madder
and then be more intent on eating you. Yeah, I mean,
I guess if it's if it's you know, if it's
already clamped down on your mid section and it's pulling
(11:30):
you out in the ocean, yeah, might as well just
take a stab at his eye. What do you got
to lose? You're gonna die anyway. You're either gonna bleed
out or he's gonna drown you.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Now, you gotta hope when it gets you, you're in
a position where you can't get to its eyes. Oh,
I know, eyes are pretty far away from its mouth.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I know. And honestly, if it's grabbing you around your
your your you know, your legs or something, I don't
know how you get to it. Those are all great ideas,
but I don't know about reality, you know, the in theory, Yes,
you would probably want to try to poke its eyes
(12:04):
out one of the places where it's probably vulnerable. But
you got to get past the teeth. Gotta get past
the teeth. I don't know how exactly gonna get that done.
Or you could do like I do and just stay
out of the water. You could and avoid the rows
of teeth. It's not just teeth, it's like three rows,
three rows, yeah, and they grow back. Yeah. Can you
just see like a great white up close? Not like
(12:24):
in the water clothes, but just in general, the size
of the mouth. How can easily ingest you?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I I know, we always thought tee, have you ever been?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I just thought about it.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I was always afraid of the water, leading to my
never wanted to go on a cruise because I can't
think of a time when I've ever been cool getting
in the water. I've never liked the ocean, never this
is one of the reasons. Not that there's a great
white just cruise in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No, there is, there is, Jesus Mark, When was the
last time you were in the ocean? I can't even
tell you when it's been that long. I wouldn't go in.
When was the last time you were in the ocean? Uh?
I probably say like maybe five six years ago? You fool?
Where were you swimming? What was it?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Circumstances? But uh, I was just with friends that behind
the beach. Okay, locally, See.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I've been ocean, fresh water lakes, all that kind of stuff.
But that was forty years ago. Wait, Carnesia, you're new
out here and I never been in the ocean and
you would never see me deep in the ocean like that,
right right with the water come in over your feet
in the saying that. That's what I'm saying. That's what
the rays are. That's with before I deal with a shark.
(13:38):
Isn't a sting ray? What killed Steve rt Irwin? Oh
you know what? Yeah? It was Okay, I take that back.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
He caught you don't want that? Yeah, that was instant
that too. He had a cardiac rest right when the
things stung him in the heart the chest.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
People want to say like it's no big deal. No,
it is a big deal, and I don't want anything
bad to happen to anyone. But if it happens to
you after you've been warned, then I might laugh at
you and make fun of you, and yes, you will
end up in dying time and we'll just have to
just you know, just have to. I mean, the water's
dirty and it's dangerous, okay, And if you still want
(14:17):
to go out there and risk it and eating or
stepping on a sting ray or ingesting poop, then okay,
then okay, I mean it's on you. You know. It's
Later with mo Kelly KFIM six forty. We're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app and YouTube. We're going to talk
about that hard summer music fest in Inglewood over the
weekend and whether it was as loud as it was
(14:40):
last year where you had some eight different cities and
police departments complaining about the noise. Was it as bad
this year? We'll tell you next.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Mister Kelly here letter with Mon Kelly. We're live everywhere
on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and iHeartRadio app. And I don't
live in Inglewood. I live in LA one street over
from Inglewood, so you just know in proximity, I'm three
point seven miles from Sofi Stadium, So anything that happens
in Inglewood, I know about. I see, I hear all
of that and what I hear from most people in Inglewood.
(15:24):
In general, the traffic is horrible, and it's been that
way since they dropped Sofi Stadium there because Sofi Stadium
is on Centriy Boulevard. Centriy Boulevard is not physically large
enough to handle all the traffic. You have Centriy Boulevard,
and parallel to that you have Manchester Avenue, also a
relatively small street. When you're talking about a number of
(15:48):
sports and entertainment venues, you have Sofi Stadium, you have
the Into It Dome, which just open for the Clippers.
You have the Key of Form which the Lakers used
to play with us, the Great Western Forum, and you
have the YouTube Theater. And they're all on the same street,
the same street, within one mile of each other, so
(16:10):
you could imagine the traffic is just horrible. The noise
in that area is horrible, having nothing to do with
the hard Summer festival. So I just say that so
you know, when residents complain, it's not just about this,
it's about all of that, and you have to keep
that in its proper perspective. But Inglewood residents are upset
(16:33):
about this hard summer festival, hard summer music festival we
talked about, which was blowing everyone's ears out last year,
but this year they had even more people. But there
was a question of whether the noise was going to
be unbearable once again because they had tens of thousands
of people. Talk about traffic flocking to Hollywood Park next
(16:56):
to Sofi Stadium for this festival, which is just away
from the Kia form which I was just telling you about.
And Lady Gaga was the closing act and also the
closing out her Los Angeles leg of the Mayhem Ball Tour.
There was a wide variety of musical choices, different types
(17:16):
of styles, so you had a very very mixed crowd
in that regard to depending on your music preferences. As
far as the noise and music, I could faintly I
think hear some of the banging and bumping. It wasn't
as clear as last year. Last year I could tell
you what the song was. Now it just seemed like
(17:36):
there was a party really really often in the distance,
and it wasn't as intrusive as the year before. And
now I also told you it was a Saturday and
Sunday festival. I didn't hear anything on Saturday. I think
I heard more on Sunday and Sunday. I told you
there were also some competing parties in my housing developments,
(18:00):
So that made it unclear as far as how much
I was hearing of the festival or was I hearing
of just parties around me. But Inglewood, they've been a
victim of their own success. If you think about bringing
the Rams to Inglewood, the Rams didn't come to LA,
they came to Inglewood. If you talk about the Chargers,
and now KFI is the voice of the Chargers bringing
(18:20):
the Chargers to Inglewood, now to LA that area economically,
it's been very, very successful for the city and I
making the distinction successful for the city as opposed to
the residents. The residents the only real benefit for them
has been the appreciation. If you're a homeowner, if you
(18:43):
already owned your home. It's worth more now than five
years ago. But if you were renting, there are a
lot of neighborhoods where people were just forced out because
the renters, the landlords were able to double people's rent
if not more overnight or if you were let's say
a month to month lease or a year lease, whatever
your lease expired, they would say you can stay, but
(19:06):
you're probably gonna pay two to three times more. And
I'm not exaggerating before Sofi Stadium, I'm just saying arbitrarily,
you could find a two bedroom in Inglewood around twelve
thirteen hundred, around twelve to thirty two hundred. Now now you'd
be hard pressed to find anything a two bedroom under
(19:26):
thirty five hundred. No way, no way. And if you
lived in Inglewood at the time, you weren't going to
continue to live in Inglewood because it was it was
you know, relative to the community in which you were
living financially economically, you could pay the twelve hundred, you
probably couldn't pay thirty five hundred. If you could, you
wouldn't be living in Inglewood back then because it didn't
(19:49):
have any of the stadiums, it didn't have the performance theaters,
and by that extension, I mean also the jobs which
came with it. Inglewood was more like a city you
drove through. It was not a destination city. With the
exception of the Forum, that was about it. That was
and even then after the Lakers left, it was just
(20:12):
a church. So it really didn't have a reason for
people to go to Inglewood unless you were going to
see friends. That's about it. I mean that was the
only time I was going to Inglewood. Housing was relatively
moderately priced in the early two thousands. That no longer
(20:32):
is the case. You want to get like a three
to four bedroom house or townhouse that's over a million Inglewood.
Don't forget the businesses. The impact also had to go
because they couldn't afford the rent anymore. And I say
all of that to say when we talk about the
(20:53):
complaints of the hard Summer music festival, you have to
put it within the context of that. They're not just
complaining about the music festival. They're complaining about the insane parking.
And this is now going to be the worst part
of the year for Inglewood residents because Sofi Stadium will
(21:13):
have a game every single week. It will be either
the Rams or the Chargers, and then you get into
September October, which is the beginning of the preseason for
NBA basketball. Then you have the Clippers in town most likely,
and in the concert season you will always have something
going on at the Kia Form or the YouTube Theater.
(21:33):
So the complaints are not just about the summer festival.
It's the latest thing which is a problem. As far
as people who live in Inglewood day to day. It's
been great for the price of real estate if you own,
but outside of that, it's been a nightmare. I just
know on certain days I don't go through Inglewood, if
(21:55):
only because I can't drive through it. I know that
I cannot get through uh uh a Century Boulevard or
Manchester Avenue on a Sunday. So I just tried to
say south of Inglewood, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
A couple of a couple of weekends ago, I was
actually in Inglewood and I went to an event that
was right next to Iconics. And when I drove over there,
I drove past the stadium and I drove into that
complex where U.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I is here, Hollywood Park.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's all into it all right there, And like when
I left out, I was like, because I hadn't been
in Inglewood in so long, it was really disorienting all
the buildings. So when I was driving down, uh, since
I passed by the Forum, I'm.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like, damn it, this is where I am. I had
no idea where I was.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Prairie, yeah, straight down. I straight went right past the
Forum and was like, I'll be damn this is where
I was this whole time.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Wow, it does not look like what it once looked like.
You know, you go buy Hollywood Park and that's the
Hollywood Park retail district. Racetrack obviously isn't there anymore, and
you have all these other businesses, you have Cosm and
so forth and iconics. To Jim, it's a yes, it's
good for urban renewal, but it hasn't been good if
(23:14):
you happen to be some of the people who could
not benefit from that urban renewal.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Interestingly enough, I did not see the urban renewal spreading
that far.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Into Oh no, no, it's just those two streets. It's
just it's just Centriet. It's just Manchester from here to here.
I looked over. I was like, so when is this
gonna get built up? Because this still looks like, you know,
get mugged, get shot. I don't know they have a
hotel that they're gonna be building, and I think some
movie theaters as well, but it's still connected to basically
(23:47):
the stadiums in that particular area. And but you know,
but then it pushes people further out and as far
as trying to if you want to buy property, gonna
it's gonna take a pretty penny there. Now. Yeah, it
looks like it. It looks like it. So just know
these complaints aren't about all about hard summer music festival.
It's just about, Hey, there are a lot of things
(24:08):
going on in eagle Wood which is making it difficult
to live here on a day to day basis. It's

Speaker 1 (24:41):
KFI. Mister Mokelly here. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app and also live on YouTube the video simulcast, so
you can join us on YouTube at mister mo Kelly,
m R m ok E L L Y. The friends
of the show, we call them the mo Migos. They
have the Motown Chat where they get to interact with
me and Carnesia who runs the chat, and also interject
(25:04):
on some of the subjects. And I guess right now
they're talking about home depot and hammers. I don't know
how they got there. But also they made mention of
that New World the World's movie on Amazon Prime starring
ice Cube. No Bueno. Oh it was bad. It is
so bad. I was mad that I spent the free
(25:28):
time that I had with it. What was it? War
of the World? Oh on prob The trailer looked absolutely awful. No,
the movie itself is much worse. It seemed like they
had limited budget, like four dollars and ice Cube was
paid three of them. Now, the idea was not bad,
(25:48):
the execution very quickly. He's like an NSA analyst and
he's he's he's high up. He has a lot of power,
when it comes to national security, and then he is
the centerpiece for this, you know, War of the World's invasion.
It is based on HG. Well, so there were some
things that you would recognize and it was just implausible.
(26:11):
It's all about social media and the whole movie is
done through his monitor. Yeah, that looks so tedious. All
of his phone calls, his skype calls, his text messages,
and everything is kind of like shaky phone cam footage
as he's talking to other people. Is it advertised anywhere?
(26:33):
Because I didn't even know about until the momigo started
talking about. Hopefully they didn't advertise and spend any money
on it. Oh boy, I don't think Spielberg and Cruse
have much to worry about. No, no, no, not at all.
It was It was even worse than that TV show
War of the World they had about three four years ago.
It was on EPICX. Oh. I never saw that. But
if you haven't seen the original War of the World's
(26:53):
with Jean Berry, it holds up really well. It does
super entertainment and it's probably the best of the lot,
all things considered, for eras and that kind of thing. Yeah,
so join us. Then, amongst the mobigos and weighing on
the chat. We'll talk about some of the things that
you're talking about, but very quickly before we end this hour,
have to tell you about this. There's bad news, and
(27:14):
then there is the perspective and context of the bad news.
Here's the bad news. California's five point four percent unemployment
rate for June twenty twenty five is the worst in
the country, and it tied Nevada for the number one
jobless rate among the fifty states. Michigan was the third
(27:34):
highest at five point three percent, followed by Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio,
and Oregon at four point nine percent. So we are
the worst, but not by a lot. You wonder, well,
who's the best. Here's the question, now, who can find
a job in South Dakota. Their unemployment rate is one
(27:54):
point eight percent. Not as many people, not as many jobs,
not really any desire to go to South Dakota. Then
there's North Dakota at two point five percent, and then
Vermont at two point six percent. And if you're wondering,
Texas was number eighteen at four percent and Florida was
number twenty six at three point seven percent. Here is though,
(28:18):
the larger context me think like, oh my gosh, five
point four percent is so horrible. It's not good. But
look at it this way. June twenty twenty five was
the nineteenth time that California ranked first in unemployment. Is
in the highest dating back to January of nineteen seventy six,
(28:43):
we have routinely, regardless of who was in power, who
was governor, who ran the state Senate, well, who ran
the state Assembly, we have consistently been near the top
when it comes to unemployment. June twenty twenty five was
the nineteenth time since nineteen seventy six the California was
(29:08):
ranked number one. But I still wouldn't leave. And part
of that is because, you know, my industries kind of here.
If I were not in radio, I'm not moving to
North Dakota or South Dakota. Oh they'd love you in
South Dakota. Oh, I'm sure they would not, And I'm
not going to meet them in South Dakota. Also, there's
less than a million people in that whole state. It's
(29:30):
weird to compare them to us with forty million. That's
the context part of the discussion. Yes, if your unemployment
is one point eight percent, but you only have I
don't know, eight hundred thousand people or whatever. What does
that mean big? Sure, it doesn't mean a lot. Forty million. Yeah,
it's not only is there no comparison, it's not even
the same universe. Yeah, put one or two people to
(29:51):
work hosing down a cow or something, and here employment employed.
The percentage shoots up. Okay, if I aim six forty
