You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio
app to while a Shark filling in for Mo Later
with Moe Kelly, and the robot revolution is even closer
to becoming.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
A reality as the.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Robot overlords that will soon be hunting us down with
gatling guns and laser eyes as they come marching down
the street through an apocalyptic Los Angeles and we're praying
for a cow Reaes to save us all and rescue
a young John Conner look. Terminator is getting to be
(00:55):
more and more and more akin to a documentary. With
the way we are going with these robots is if
we people did not learn and I'm believing this is
pronounced Navidia n vi ida video in video vidio video.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The Nvidia CEO is coming out saying that the humanoid
robot revolution is closer than you think. Want you to
hear me now, the individual who was in charge, the
top guy at in Vidia is saying mark humanoid robot
(01:37):
revolution is closer than you think. In Vidia CEO Jensen
Wang believes the humanoid robots are less than five, less
than five years away from seeing wide use in manufacturing facilities.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
This is something that he claimed in his keynote addressed
in front of a packed hockey stadium in San Jose recently,
where he unveiled software tools that would help humanoid robots
navigate the world more easily. He is developing software AI
(02:20):
software that is helping these robots to think on their feet,
to be able to process things as they're moving around
and using their humanoid bodies. Not little you know, robot
dogs walking around, not carpet cleaners, actual walking robots. The
robot that he was standing next to, it was about
his exact same height. It was a female humanoid robot.
(02:44):
And he's just talking this thing and this thing is
just looking around. It's just like like it's taking in
the sites and I'm like, oh Jesus, this is scary
as I don't know what.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
So this wasn't so much a warning as a promise. Oh,
this is this is absolutely a promise. This is appsbsolutely
a promise. When answering questions, Wong said, quote when literally
humanoid robots are wandering around, which is not five years away.
This is not a five year wave problem. This is
(03:15):
a few years away problem. End quote.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
He's telling us the things.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That you're worried about with these robots and the advancements
that we are making and all of that. This isn't
just a five year wave problem. This is something that
we need to be thinking about right now because it
will be here in the next five years. The manufacturing
industry alone is already putting in so many orders with
(03:41):
companies that his software is supporting to bring in humanoid
robots into factories and different places to help workloads. This
thing is out of control, out of control, and this
is it right now. This is not for a sexual
pleasure right now. These things are for working in factories.
(04:03):
These things will be patrolling as security for property. Once
you say that you've got a robot that is patrolling
and doing security, that sends a shiver down my spine
because what you're saying is you have a robot that
could quite possibly.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Stop a crime. What does it stop in a crime with?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
What weapon is this robot armed with? I don't care
if it's armed with bear spray.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I don't want to be walking down the street or
walking in the courtyard. Here is the iHeart properties and
the Iheartbot walks up. Please return to your workstation. I'm off, Iheartbot,
please return to your work station. No, no, no, Iheartbot.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I'm please because and they're like, man, what happened to
te you deny the iHeart robot?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yes, especially if you can't have sex with it. That's
the whole scenario is unacceptable. And the thing is most
people don't want this, and we don't get a vote
on it. It's just being done anyway. The people responsible
for this don't understand the fundamental concept that just because
you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, that is true, but when it comes to things
like WEAIMO and autonomous vehicles, I have to disagree go
because WEAMO. They are testing a new vehicle called the
Zeker in the Phoenix later this year. The Zeker is
already a hit in UH in China. And this is
(05:36):
like a like a bus. I think it's it looks
a little bit like the bust thing that that Musk
was trying to release. But Waymo's like, nah, dog, you're
not about to get the jump on us. We've got
the Zeker coming, and we've got the Zeker coming UH
next year. So it's already on the streets in Phoenix. Well,
it will be later this year for early testing, and
(05:56):
then it'll be out and about for all. So it's
spelled Zeker Zeker z e e k R. Sus don't
like it. No, no, no, it looks like a list,
like a little mini van. It's it's it's not like
the Jaguar ipays. This is it's already operating autonomously in Phoenix. Uh,
this is a six generation way Mold Driver Technology vehicle.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sixth generation.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, right now, the IPAs is only at fifth generation,
the ones that are around here in La. The zekeer
in in Phoenix, this is already a six generation. That
means it's already thinking faster than what we have here
in La. It's already thinking on its feet. So you
put it that way, I'm just saying, yes, it's all
the robots that have been running over Grandma's Zeker doesn't
(06:40):
do that.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Now, would you trust one of these things with your life? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Getting a Zeker is that its own brand. So it's
not a Jaguar model, it's its own brand. It's only
make the current ones that we have. Oh no, that's yeah.
The Zeker it's it's its own make. It looks like
oh okay, it looks like a little mini van. It's
like a little four door little minivan. Yeah, okay, yeah,
and it's its own thing. I don't know who Zeker
(07:04):
is made by, but Zekra. I guess Zeker's made by Waymo.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah. Interesting. Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
If the vehicle will be equipped with thirteen cameras for
lid R, I guess that's like a radar light r oh,
there you go, thank you, which uses later laser technology
to remotely send surroundings six radar and an array of
external audio receivers, which the company claims increase performance, but
(07:33):
at a lower cost than their current vehicles.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
And at a lower cost than just employing a guy
to drive the car. Yes, much lower, I see, much
much lower, right, much lower. I think I'd rather have
the dude driving the car.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Mark in a minute, I'm trying to tell you you're about
to have a robot drive of the damn automated car.
That's what's about to happen. I just want you to
be ready, Marked. I don't want you to have this
this doubt or this you know, opposition to the robots coming,
because they're gonna know, Mark, They're gonna know what.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You were saying.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I will never get in one of those until they're
on tracks. And you know the word we have for those,
they're trains, Mark, Right now, the trains that are operating
here in the Los Angeles area, a lot of those
they're operated by AI. What.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, a lot of these metro trains. Plus you get
stabbed and there's that. Yeah, there's there's that I'm saying
right now. Robots aren't stabbing anyone, Mark, all right, people
are stabbing people.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
That's what's happening. Mark, that's what's happening. You're not gonna
sell me on the waymouth thing for a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I just w.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
There's just something about the a human operating a two
thousand pound vehicle that inspires more confidence in me than
somebody's computer program.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I know we have to go to break but yeah,
he's the last person to ask about that, because he
also didn't want to watch Breaking Bad till it was done.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
What's this guy's doing?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
You didn't want to have Apple products until you realize
how easy it was. Ad hominum and it's absolutely accurate,
and then once it happened, you're like, oh, yeah, I
got so built, you know, beaten down.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Now I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Your arguments in valid and we have to go to
the news right now, I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Forty, KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iheard
radio app Twiler Sharp and for Mo Kelly Later with
you hanging out. And the AI takeover does not just
(09:49):
stop with humanoid robots and self driving taxis Nope, the
AI a plague, as Mark may referred to it, is
heading to even fast food joints. I know and and
(10:13):
and I know you're with me on this, but the
worst thing in the world is going through a drive
through and trying to order something and you got someone
who I swear someone as they're playing and you read
them order, Yes, I would like one combo number eight, uh,
regular size with.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
A diet coke. What you're taking? Yeah? Sure? Does you
order correct on the window?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
No, no, that's not what I ordered. And you're like, dude,
I'm going to kill somebody.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Seriously.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
The reason that I do not go to McDonald's anymore.
And I know growing ass man need and McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
What am I doing? I know, I know, I know,
it's the problem, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But I did like their filet of fish stounches and
I would go there and get one sometimes when I
would be getting off late and I could go over
to the McDonald's that's just up the street on Devonshire
and Lancashire because I was open late and and that
was my spot. But I went to Riverside. Sorry is
there Riversid? Yeah, Riversid yeah, Riversite yeah. I went to
(11:21):
a McDonald's it had to be now going on five
months ago, and they got my orders so wrong in
drive in the drive through and they were such idiots
about it. I went into the location fuming, only to
find no people working at the customers. There was just
(11:41):
someone bringing There was no cash er, no that there
was kiosk where you would order the food, and someone
that was coming out of out of a door putting
food on a counter, and I was like, what the hell,
there's no staff here.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
See you're you agree with me. You can't have a
Karen tantrum and a machine. It's tough to have a
Karen tantrum at a machine. And the person was like,
I'm sorry, so can I help you.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm like, the order that I put in was absolutely wrong,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And he's like, oh, I'm sorry, okay, I'll get you
the thing.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
So he got me the drink whatever, and I said,
you know what, I will never my life come to
McDonald's ever again. You people absolutely fit it, okay, and
I left out of there. I think I slammed the
drink down in the parking lot and protest.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I was just so through. Wow, I was through.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I was angry, right, but it all had to do
with my my experience in the drive through.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Well, now.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Every single fast food joint basically is adopting this new
AI menu technology. There's this new report that's coming through QSR,
and I don't know what QSR is, but I guess
they just they know what they're talking about. It's the
(12:55):
drive Through Report from QSR, which takes, which tracks and
takes data from quick service restaurants, i e. Places that
have drive through windows. Almost all, with the exception of
like two, all fast food restaurants are now adopting and
(13:17):
investing in digital drive throughs that use artificial intelligence to
make sure they are tracking what you're saying, getting your
words absoluce. So it's like the person is that's in
that the window, they're probably not even talking to you.
You're probably talking to the AI that's taking your order
and is able to understand what you're saying. Even if
(13:39):
you're sloppy, drunk late at night going through a Jack
and the crack, they are getting your order.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
And this is where we're at mark.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It's like right now, a place like Chick fil A,
they are taking the top spot as far as with
their drive through orders where their orders are now up
some ninety three percent ninety three percent rating increases for
the quality of drive through orders being taken Taco Bell
eighty five percent. As far as accuracy with now this
(14:09):
new digital technology that they're employing.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
At these places.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yeah, well, you've never enjoyed diarrhea until you've gotten it
from a drive through AI.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
With less people, that's less of an opportunity for diary
because that means because diarrhea is probably coming from people
in there not washing their hands.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now you have.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Different places that there is actually like in a what's
the coffee place? I love going to Duncan right Duncan
is actually designing digital only restaurants. Digital only, no people
except for the person that comes and drops off the
supplies and puts.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Them into the machine. No, but that's it.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Digital only restaurants that have just the kias and it
just makes your order, who pops it out?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
I don't want that. And by the way, it's not
do you want the diarrhea? Well no, I'm gonna ask
if you hold the diary rea placed. But it's not
just the big change that that are doing this. I
went to a barbecue joining last weekend and I get
up to the counter. I noticed there is a screen
to my left next to the counter. The human employee
comes up to the counter and I'm ready to give
(15:14):
my order, and he says, can you punch it in
on the screen right next to you? And I'm like,
you're right here and I know what I want. Can't
you just take the order? It's like, no, you got
to enter it on the screen and guess what, the
order was still messed up.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
That is going to change soon, good sir, Because this
isn't something that you can fight. I'm tom telling you Mark,
I know you want to fight it. I intend to
fight it. You're only gonna be able to fight about
not going and getting into the star.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
I'm not just gonna lie back and enjoy it. I
will fight this mark.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You aren't going to lie back and put your feet
to the ceiling and enjoy it, sir. I'm trying to
tell you you absolutely are.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
But I think that's why Taco Bell kind of got
it right, because they're doing the whole demolition man thing
where it is the order is AI, but they have
to have people put in the actual physical items to
give it to that little vacuum thing that comes down
for now, for.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Now, because soon enough they will there would just be
one person who comes and loads all the ingredients, and
you know the Taco Bot will be cooking and proving
that and will just give you your order to perfection.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Just here's your order. Take your order, sir. Thank you
very much for coming to Taco Bot.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
If I could at least enjoy like the novelty of
like a Taco Bot nine thousand at the window with
a hat on it, I might be in it just
for the sport. But you don't even get that satisfaction.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
No, no, you're not going to And when it comes
to these AI advancements. That's actually all we are going
to get. And that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
There is some saving grace though, and that is our
fond memories of yesteryear, i e. The life lessons that
we all learned from Evil Knievel. Yes, let's get into
that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kfi AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Kfi AM six forty Tuila Sharp holding it down for
Moe Kelly. This is Later with Moe Kelly. And you
may or may not be familiar with the name Evil Knievel.
(17:44):
I grew up at the point in Evil Knievel's career
when Evil Knievel could do no wrong. One of the
greatest things to ever be produced by any company ever
was the Evil Knievel wind up motorcycle, where you took
(18:06):
your Evil Cadievral action figure and put it on a
motorcycle and put it in like this this almost holster
and had a little handle on the side, and you
would wind it winded, winded, winded, wined wine and hit
the button and pow that thing would take off and
it would hit this Evil can Evil jump and it
would typically flop over to the side.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Just like evil can evil.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It would just crash badly, but you loved it because
you were allowed to.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Live the adventure.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
When I was a kid, we did not necessarily have
superheroes per se. Yes, they had Saturday Morning cartoons and
the like, and and you had weird cartoons, you know,
Handah Barbara. It was weird people that were on these shows.
You know, you had maybe you had the super Friends,
but that was really campy. That wasn't really cool. That
(18:55):
was like, yeah, okay, super Friends great. But you know
Hannah Barbera, uh sid Marty Kraft all you know, uh,
Land of the Loss, live action shows where people were
the heroes. Evil Knievel was a hero. And it's odd
because it like like I grew up and and and
(19:16):
marking and even foods shouldn't extend. Maybe on the tail end,
maybe he was just maybe born possibly maybe not, but
growing up in a period where people were the heroes,
all right. Paunching John to California Highway patrol men just
patrolling the south Land, keeping.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It safe, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Magnu pek p I a cop with a with a
Hawaiian shirt and a mustache. David Hasselhoff or Michael Knight,
a guy in a bulletproof car. That was the most
amazing thing about him is that he had a bulletproof car.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
That could talk to you. It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
My car today says, you know, it'll warn me, you
know you're getting too close, and I'm like, all right, Kit,
calm down. So I mean, like, we had actual people
as heroes and and this is the world we grew
up on before like Superman came out with Christopher Reeven
changed the whole paradigm of like, oh usso Burero. You
(20:16):
know what I'm saying. It was it was guys. It
was you know, and then you had the far off
you know, Buck Rogers and things. But Buck Rogers still
a guy. Flash Gordon was a guy, you know. Uh,
And and that was the beauty of it. Evil Canievl,
just by watching Evil knieval Fell we learned life lessons.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I don't know about you, fellas, but me and my
friends we tried to recreate Evil Cadievl stunts. There's one
point where me and my friend we wanted to do
a jump over me, all right, and so we had
we had we had boards on we had boards that
we put up on a brick and the brick is
it was like like a square brick like but like
(20:58):
a cylinder or whatever. And we tried to put the
ramp up on the brick, thinking that was going to
hold it, not knowing that the brick as soon as
he hit it, the brick was going to fall over,
flying to me as I'm laying in between two ramps.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Yeah, there's something about elementary physics and engineering that's lost
on a lot of kids.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
We didn't know that that's what it took to be
Evil Canievral. We thought, just do it. I remember I
cut my groin really really bad trying to do an
Evil Canevl jump and just flying forward and hitting that
little area on the bike handle and it was it
wasn't covered. Oh I got a nice little groin shot
with that one.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
So you were actually emulating Evil Canievl because didn't he
brag that he had broken every bone in his body?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, And I didn't really get that thought to myself. Yeah,
but he's Evil Cadievil. His bones grow back miraculously or something.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I mean for Evil Knievel, you know Mark, around the
time when he was coming out, What was your headspace,
and like, what did you emulate or what did you
think about Evil Canevl.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Well, just like you, we had our bikes and we
made a little jumps in the neighborhood and in the
alley and the vacant lot and probably risked our lives.
We're probably lucky to be alive right now because of
some of the stupid stuff we did and we didn't
understand at the time. There's no good reason for Evil
Canievel to be doing anything. Why would you jump fourteen
(22:18):
buses or the Snake River canyon in a jet cycle?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Well, why wouldn't you? Why I wouldn't Why wouldn't you? Yes,
because it's cool, that's why. And he's even got a cape.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Of course, he's a hero. And by the way, there's
an Evil Canevel pinball machine that once I strike it
rich with that lottery we're going to win from Michelle.
I'm getting that in my in my one bedroom house
in Annahe'm you have to you absolutely have to.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I think that that's you know, of all the life
lessons Evil Canievel left us with it to try to
go further, to not be afraid, you know, I mean,
like the things that Evil Canevil would do. I'm sure
as kids were watching it and we didn't know any better,
but avery adult probably around the country was.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Like, oh my god, this guy's going to get themselves killed.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But for an entire generation to teach us to be fearless,
to teach us to take every challenge head on and
do it with such care and pride, and even in
his failures, you know, he would do his best to
try to put a thumbs up or something like that.
I remember the dude caught on fire once. It was like, oh,
he put the thumbs up and it was like he's over.
(23:30):
It was like, wow, thanks to come on on Channel five.
They would have a whole specially would be like Saturday,
Evil Knievel is gonna do a jump, and it would
be like just sit around the TV waiting for it
to come on, waiting for Evil Canevil to jump.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And it was before or it was I guess after
my time. But when I think of Evil Knieval, I
think of indestructible, and I think that's what you guys
must have grown up with. Well when it comes, well
you know what I mean. But like he actually but
the thing is he actually did it. It wasn't just
a movie. It wasn't pretend. He actually went out there
(24:06):
and did it, and then he went out and did
it again.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Even if you feel like like do.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Walla said, no special effects, no, none of that. It
was just him doing I used to think it was
his magic suit. I would think it was maybe that
white suit with the stars on the side. I thought
that was it. I had no idea what allowed Evil
Knievel to survive all those different things that he did.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Well, here's the deal on watching Evil Caneval. It's a
win win because if he makes the jump, yay. And
if he doesn't make the jump, also, there's something pretty
fun to watch too. He bounces around for a couple
hundred yards like a rag doll and there you go.
You win.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, wow, I absolutely, I absolutely love all my memories
of Evil Knievel. I really really do. And did you
have the toys though? Because I never had them?
Speaker 5 (24:54):
And yeah, and you talking about them makes me want
to get on eBay right now and buy them.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I actually did. And you know, it's interesting. I believe
that if I'm not mistaken, I think folk reporter Nil
Savadra has an Evil cadievl right now, I think he
has the wind up motorcycle, and if I'm not mistaken,
he might also have a Mago six million dollar man figure.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Oh, because now that you've started talking about this, I
am remembering there is a photo somewhere of little young Mark,
like six seven year old Mark with my friend at Halloween.
He's got the fancy store bought Evil Canievil Halloween costume
with the mask, and I've got the crappy homemade vampire costume.
And I wanted nothing more than to kill him and
(25:41):
take that costume. I just wanted to bludget him to death,
which would have I mean, it would have been kind
of true to the character, and he would have been grateful.
So I thought, yeah, break every bone in his body,
take the cape off him, and just go around trick
or treating in it on my own.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Take Kate, I love it. I love it. Man.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
The life lessons that Evil Cadievil gave us what prompted this.
You know what's interesting is the Wall Street Journal, the
Wall Street Journal just did this expose on the life
lessons of Evil Canievil, and just reading through it and
just looking back on all the different things that he did,
(26:23):
we will touch Base with Nori. My first time touching
base with Norri. Looking forward to it.

app to wail a sharp filling in for Moe Kelly
and in just a few moments, the incredible, the uncanny,
the incomparable, George Norri is going to take us to
(27:07):
the next level with Coast to Coast. Mister Norri, how
are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Good sir? I should have you introduced me as show
this all the time. I love it. We're doing great.
We got a great feel good show tonight. We're gonna
have some fun on Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You always do and that is why we tune in.
Good sir, Thank you sir. Before we get out of here,
you know something, Mark, I thought about this, Yes, d
last Friday, I was after the show. I was sitting
in and typically I'm working on the podcast after the show,
so you know, and I've got the radio on in
(27:44):
the backgrounds helping me move listening to Coast to Coast
as I do.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Now that James Brown is dead, you are the hardest
working man in show business.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Well, I would I would like to see what it
would be like for you to step up to that plate.
And I say this because I've heard that it's like
some special guests sometimes filling in on coast to coast
from time to time. And I said to myself, you
know what I would like to hear Mark Ronner filling
in one time on coast to coast, just once. Oh, anytime,
(28:15):
I would look anytime. I think you have quite possibly
one of the most interesting ways of looking at things.
I would love to see you peeling back the layers
of the beyond, getting into the unknown, getting into the
things that we may think are real but may not be,
(28:36):
but also the things that we just don't know about.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Well from your word to either God or George's ear,
I've been a Coast listener since way back in the
Art Bell days. I've always loved that show and always
had a predilection for paranormal supernatural stuff. I'm kind of
a natural skeptic, but I'm still interested in all of it.
So yeah, yeah, I thank you for bringing that up.
That'd be great, George, if you're listening, I'm here for you.
(29:01):
I think we should absolutely make that. But I know
MO has been planning the lunch gathering for a while now,
and I think that that should be one of the
topics because sometimes, you know, when you come out of
the studio and you walk by the mixing station where
I'm at working on the podcast, and you'll, you know,
(29:23):
wax poetic about some this, that or the other. And
I'm always thinking to myself, man, mark your mind, the
way you put things together. You're like unnaturally deep. You're
like on the seafloor with it. It's either put me
in prison or give me something like that to do,
I think, And you know, I think I mentioned to
you that the last comic book story I sold was
(29:44):
a Bigfoot Sasquatch story, and that stuff has always been
fascinating to.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I mean that alone.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
I mean, you know, your your work that you have
with zombies and those stories and just all that. That's
what I'm saying. Your mind and how go to me
is like you are the closest thing that or the
closest that I know to someone who thinks like I believe,
Rod Serling thought, well.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
That's a big compliment. And I've written The Twilight Zone too,
and that's of all the comics that I've written, including
my creator owned one, the zombie western called Rotten, the
Twilight Zone is the thing I'm most proud of because
I don't know who your foundational people who are who
are like at the basis of your personality when you
were developing and were heroes to you. But there was
(30:33):
no bigger hero to me than Rod Serling, and I
devoted a massive amount of effort to trying to recapture
his voice in the comics I did. And by the way,
if you go out and buy any of the trade
paperbacks are available, you can find them anywhere. I don't
make any money off those at this point. I got
paid one page eight years ago, and that's it. I
just I like to connect with other people who loved
(30:54):
Serling and the Twilight Zone. And I even reached out
to Serling's daughter and to be a guest when I
guest hosted, and hopefully we can make that happen at
some point. I love all of that stuff. Okay, I'm
going to put it into the universe. But when you
fill in for George Norri, when, yes, when it's when
(31:17):
you fill in for George Norri, you have got to
get and Sirling on and just go hog wild. Oh
I'd love to. And I follow her on we we're
Facebook friends, and I follow her on ex Twitter, and
every time she posts something from her father, it's so
inspirational to me because we need Rod Serling right now.
(31:38):
And you've got to remember that these weren't just fantasies.
They were vehicles to comment on his times. And I
think often, what would Rod Serling say about the things
that we're experiencing and seeing right now? And I think
he already said it's it's there. It's there in his
work if you go back and look at it, and
I do very often. So if you if you that
(32:00):
you and I are brothers.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
This is why, this is why it's the cats.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
It's right though, And I'm telling right now, look and Serling,
go on and have your people reach out to Mark,
because when he fills in for George Nori, we're gonna
need to have you on as a guest.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
All right now, all we have to do is make
sure George knows about this.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, absolutely, all right. Moe is out tomorrow, so I
will be filling in for him tomorrow. We may not
have the movie game, but dammit, We're gonna have a
Friday full of fun. TGIF is on the way, so
make sure you tune in for tomorrow seven o'clock. Be
(32:43):
here or forever be square. This is KFI AM six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
We go through all the thing's going on so that
we can tell you just that you need to know.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I and k OS t h D two, Los Angeles,
Orange County Live everywhere on the eart Radio app.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio
app to while a Shark filling in for Mo Later
with Moe Kelly, and the robot revolution is even closer
to becoming.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
A reality as the.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Robot overlords that will soon be hunting us down with
gatling guns and laser eyes as they come marching down
the street through an apocalyptic Los Angeles and we're praying
for a cow Reaes to save us all and rescue
a young John Conner look. Terminator is getting to be
(00:55):
more and more and more akin to a documentary. With
the way we are going with these robots is if
we people did not learn and I'm believing this is
pronounced Navidia n vi ida video in video vidio video.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The Nvidia CEO is coming out saying that the humanoid
robot revolution is closer than you think. Want you to
hear me now, the individual who was in charge, the
top guy at in Vidia is saying mark humanoid robot
(01:37):
revolution is closer than you think. In Vidia CEO Jensen
Wang believes the humanoid robots are less than five, less
than five years away from seeing wide use in manufacturing facilities.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
This is something that he claimed in his keynote addressed
in front of a packed hockey stadium in San Jose recently,
where he unveiled software tools that would help humanoid robots
navigate the world more easily. He is developing software AI
(02:20):
software that is helping these robots to think on their feet,
to be able to process things as they're moving around
and using their humanoid bodies. Not little you know, robot
dogs walking around, not carpet cleaners, actual walking robots. The
robot that he was standing next to, it was about
his exact same height. It was a female humanoid robot.
(02:44):
And he's just talking this thing and this thing is
just looking around. It's just like like it's taking in
the sites and I'm like, oh Jesus, this is scary
as I don't know what.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
So this wasn't so much a warning as a promise. Oh,
this is this is absolutely a promise. This is appsbsolutely
a promise. When answering questions, Wong said, quote when literally
humanoid robots are wandering around, which is not five years away.
This is not a five year wave problem. This is
(03:15):
a few years away problem. End quote.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
He's telling us the things.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That you're worried about with these robots and the advancements
that we are making and all of that. This isn't
just a five year wave problem. This is something that
we need to be thinking about right now because it
will be here in the next five years. The manufacturing
industry alone is already putting in so many orders with
(03:41):
companies that his software is supporting to bring in humanoid
robots into factories and different places to help workloads. This
thing is out of control, out of control, and this
is it right now. This is not for a sexual
pleasure right now. These things are for working in factories.
(04:03):
These things will be patrolling as security for property. Once
you say that you've got a robot that is patrolling
and doing security, that sends a shiver down my spine
because what you're saying is you have a robot that
could quite possibly.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Stop a crime. What does it stop in a crime with?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
What weapon is this robot armed with? I don't care
if it's armed with bear spray.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I don't want to be walking down the street or
walking in the courtyard. Here is the iHeart properties and
the Iheartbot walks up. Please return to your workstation. I'm off, Iheartbot,
please return to your work station. No, no, no, Iheartbot.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I'm please because and they're like, man, what happened to
te you deny the iHeart robot?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yes, especially if you can't have sex with it. That's
the whole scenario is unacceptable. And the thing is most
people don't want this, and we don't get a vote
on it. It's just being done anyway. The people responsible
for this don't understand the fundamental concept that just because
you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, that is true, but when it comes to things
like WEAIMO and autonomous vehicles, I have to disagree go
because WEAMO. They are testing a new vehicle called the
Zeker in the Phoenix later this year. The Zeker is
already a hit in UH in China. And this is
(05:36):
like a like a bus. I think it's it looks
a little bit like the bust thing that that Musk
was trying to release. But Waymo's like, nah, dog, you're
not about to get the jump on us. We've got
the Zeker coming, and we've got the Zeker coming UH
next year. So it's already on the streets in Phoenix. Well,
it will be later this year for early testing, and
(05:56):
then it'll be out and about for all. So it's
spelled Zeker Zeker z e e k R. Sus don't
like it. No, no, no, it looks like a list,
like a little mini van. It's it's it's not like
the Jaguar ipays. This is it's already operating autonomously in Phoenix. Uh,
this is a six generation way Mold Driver Technology vehicle.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sixth generation.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, right now, the IPAs is only at fifth generation,
the ones that are around here in La. The zekeer
in in Phoenix, this is already a six generation. That
means it's already thinking faster than what we have here
in La. It's already thinking on its feet. So you
put it that way, I'm just saying, yes, it's all
the robots that have been running over Grandma's Zeker doesn't
(06:40):
do that.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Now, would you trust one of these things with your life? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Getting a Zeker is that its own brand. So it's
not a Jaguar model, it's its own brand. It's only
make the current ones that we have. Oh no, that's yeah.
The Zeker it's it's its own make. It looks like
oh okay, it looks like a little mini van. It's
like a little four door little minivan. Yeah, okay, yeah,
and it's its own thing. I don't know who Zeker
(07:04):
is made by, but Zekra. I guess Zeker's made by Waymo.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah. Interesting. Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
If the vehicle will be equipped with thirteen cameras for
lid R, I guess that's like a radar light r oh,
there you go, thank you, which uses later laser technology
to remotely send surroundings six radar and an array of
external audio receivers, which the company claims increase performance, but
(07:33):
at a lower cost than their current vehicles.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
And at a lower cost than just employing a guy
to drive the car. Yes, much lower, I see, much
much lower, right, much lower. I think I'd rather have
the dude driving the car.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Mark in a minute, I'm trying to tell you you're about
to have a robot drive of the damn automated car.
That's what's about to happen. I just want you to
be ready, Marked. I don't want you to have this
this doubt or this you know, opposition to the robots coming,
because they're gonna know, Mark, They're gonna know what.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You were saying.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I will never get in one of those until they're
on tracks. And you know the word we have for those,
they're trains, Mark, Right now, the trains that are operating
here in the Los Angeles area, a lot of those
they're operated by AI. What.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, a lot of these metro trains. Plus you get
stabbed and there's that. Yeah, there's there's that I'm saying
right now. Robots aren't stabbing anyone, Mark, all right, people
are stabbing people.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
That's what's happening. Mark, that's what's happening. You're not gonna
sell me on the waymouth thing for a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I just w.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
There's just something about the a human operating a two
thousand pound vehicle that inspires more confidence in me than
somebody's computer program.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I know we have to go to break but yeah,
he's the last person to ask about that, because he
also didn't want to watch Breaking Bad till it was done.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
What's this guy's doing?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
You didn't want to have Apple products until you realize
how easy it was. Ad hominum and it's absolutely accurate,
and then once it happened, you're like, oh, yeah, I
got so built, you know, beaten down.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Now I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Your arguments in valid and we have to go to
the news right now, I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Forty, KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iheard
radio app Twiler Sharp and for Mo Kelly Later with
you hanging out. And the AI takeover does not just
(09:49):
stop with humanoid robots and self driving taxis Nope, the
AI a plague, as Mark may referred to it, is
heading to even fast food joints. I know and and
(10:13):
and I know you're with me on this, but the
worst thing in the world is going through a drive
through and trying to order something and you got someone
who I swear someone as they're playing and you read
them order, Yes, I would like one combo number eight, uh,
regular size with.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
A diet coke. What you're taking? Yeah? Sure? Does you
order correct on the window?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
No, no, that's not what I ordered. And you're like, dude,
I'm going to kill somebody.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Seriously.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
The reason that I do not go to McDonald's anymore.
And I know growing ass man need and McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
What am I doing? I know, I know, I know,
it's the problem, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But I did like their filet of fish stounches and
I would go there and get one sometimes when I
would be getting off late and I could go over
to the McDonald's that's just up the street on Devonshire
and Lancashire because I was open late and and that
was my spot. But I went to Riverside. Sorry is
there Riversid? Yeah, Riversid yeah, Riversite yeah. I went to
(11:21):
a McDonald's it had to be now going on five
months ago, and they got my orders so wrong in
drive in the drive through and they were such idiots
about it. I went into the location fuming, only to
find no people working at the customers. There was just
(11:41):
someone bringing There was no cash er, no that there
was kiosk where you would order the food, and someone
that was coming out of out of a door putting
food on a counter, and I was like, what the hell,
there's no staff here.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
See you're you agree with me. You can't have a
Karen tantrum and a machine. It's tough to have a
Karen tantrum at a machine. And the person was like,
I'm sorry, so can I help you.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm like, the order that I put in was absolutely wrong,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And he's like, oh, I'm sorry, okay, I'll get you
the thing.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
So he got me the drink whatever, and I said,
you know what, I will never my life come to
McDonald's ever again. You people absolutely fit it, okay, and
I left out of there. I think I slammed the
drink down in the parking lot and protest.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I was just so through. Wow, I was through.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I was angry, right, but it all had to do
with my my experience in the drive through.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Well, now.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Every single fast food joint basically is adopting this new
AI menu technology. There's this new report that's coming through QSR,
and I don't know what QSR is, but I guess
they just they know what they're talking about. It's the
(12:55):
drive Through Report from QSR, which takes, which tracks and
takes data from quick service restaurants, i e. Places that
have drive through windows. Almost all, with the exception of
like two, all fast food restaurants are now adopting and
(13:17):
investing in digital drive throughs that use artificial intelligence to
make sure they are tracking what you're saying, getting your
words absoluce. So it's like the person is that's in
that the window, they're probably not even talking to you.
You're probably talking to the AI that's taking your order
and is able to understand what you're saying. Even if
(13:39):
you're sloppy, drunk late at night going through a Jack
and the crack, they are getting your order.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
And this is where we're at mark.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It's like right now, a place like Chick fil A,
they are taking the top spot as far as with
their drive through orders where their orders are now up
some ninety three percent ninety three percent rating increases for
the quality of drive through orders being taken Taco Bell
eighty five percent. As far as accuracy with now this
(14:09):
new digital technology that they're employing.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
At these places.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yeah, well, you've never enjoyed diarrhea until you've gotten it
from a drive through AI.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
With less people, that's less of an opportunity for diary
because that means because diarrhea is probably coming from people
in there not washing their hands.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now you have.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Different places that there is actually like in a what's
the coffee place? I love going to Duncan right Duncan
is actually designing digital only restaurants. Digital only, no people
except for the person that comes and drops off the
supplies and puts.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Them into the machine. No, but that's it.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Digital only restaurants that have just the kias and it
just makes your order, who pops it out?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
I don't want that. And by the way, it's not
do you want the diarrhea? Well no, I'm gonna ask
if you hold the diary rea placed. But it's not
just the big change that that are doing this. I
went to a barbecue joining last weekend and I get
up to the counter. I noticed there is a screen
to my left next to the counter. The human employee
comes up to the counter and I'm ready to give
(15:14):
my order, and he says, can you punch it in
on the screen right next to you? And I'm like,
you're right here and I know what I want. Can't
you just take the order? It's like, no, you got
to enter it on the screen and guess what, the
order was still messed up.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
That is going to change soon, good sir, Because this
isn't something that you can fight. I'm tom telling you Mark,
I know you want to fight it. I intend to
fight it. You're only gonna be able to fight about
not going and getting into the star.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
I'm not just gonna lie back and enjoy it. I
will fight this mark.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You aren't going to lie back and put your feet
to the ceiling and enjoy it, sir. I'm trying to
tell you you absolutely are.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
But I think that's why Taco Bell kind of got
it right, because they're doing the whole demolition man thing
where it is the order is AI, but they have
to have people put in the actual physical items to
give it to that little vacuum thing that comes down
for now, for.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Now, because soon enough they will there would just be
one person who comes and loads all the ingredients, and
you know the Taco Bot will be cooking and proving
that and will just give you your order to perfection.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Just here's your order. Take your order, sir. Thank you
very much for coming to Taco Bot.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
If I could at least enjoy like the novelty of
like a Taco Bot nine thousand at the window with
a hat on it, I might be in it just
for the sport. But you don't even get that satisfaction.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
No, no, you're not going to And when it comes
to these AI advancements. That's actually all we are going
to get. And that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
There is some saving grace though, and that is our
fond memories of yesteryear, i e. The life lessons that
we all learned from Evil Knievel. Yes, let's get into
that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kfi AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Kfi AM six forty Tuila Sharp holding it down for
Moe Kelly. This is Later with Moe Kelly. And you
may or may not be familiar with the name Evil Knievel.
(17:44):
I grew up at the point in Evil Knievel's career
when Evil Knievel could do no wrong. One of the
greatest things to ever be produced by any company ever
was the Evil Knievel wind up motorcycle, where you took
(18:06):
your Evil Cadievral action figure and put it on a
motorcycle and put it in like this this almost holster
and had a little handle on the side, and you
would wind it winded, winded, winded, wined wine and hit
the button and pow that thing would take off and
it would hit this Evil can Evil jump and it
would typically flop over to the side.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Just like evil can evil.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It would just crash badly, but you loved it because
you were allowed to.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Live the adventure.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
When I was a kid, we did not necessarily have
superheroes per se. Yes, they had Saturday Morning cartoons and
the like, and and you had weird cartoons, you know,
Handah Barbara. It was weird people that were on these shows.
You know, you had maybe you had the super Friends,
but that was really campy. That wasn't really cool. That
(18:55):
was like, yeah, okay, super Friends great. But you know
Hannah Barbera, uh sid Marty Kraft all you know, uh,
Land of the Loss, live action shows where people were
the heroes. Evil Knievel was a hero. And it's odd
because it like like I grew up and and and
(19:16):
marking and even foods shouldn't extend. Maybe on the tail end,
maybe he was just maybe born possibly maybe not, but
growing up in a period where people were the heroes,
all right. Paunching John to California Highway patrol men just
patrolling the south Land, keeping.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It safe, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Magnu pek p I a cop with a with a
Hawaiian shirt and a mustache. David Hasselhoff or Michael Knight,
a guy in a bulletproof car. That was the most
amazing thing about him is that he had a bulletproof car.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
That could talk to you. It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
My car today says, you know, it'll warn me, you
know you're getting too close, and I'm like, all right, Kit,
calm down. So I mean, like, we had actual people
as heroes and and this is the world we grew
up on before like Superman came out with Christopher Reeven
changed the whole paradigm of like, oh usso Burero. You
(20:16):
know what I'm saying. It was it was guys. It
was you know, and then you had the far off
you know, Buck Rogers and things. But Buck Rogers still
a guy. Flash Gordon was a guy, you know. Uh,
And and that was the beauty of it. Evil Canievl,
just by watching Evil knieval Fell we learned life lessons.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I don't know about you, fellas, but me and my
friends we tried to recreate Evil Cadievl stunts. There's one
point where me and my friend we wanted to do
a jump over me, all right, and so we had
we had we had boards on we had boards that
we put up on a brick and the brick is
it was like like a square brick like but like
(20:58):
a cylinder or whatever. And we tried to put the
ramp up on the brick, thinking that was going to
hold it, not knowing that the brick as soon as
he hit it, the brick was going to fall over,
flying to me as I'm laying in between two ramps.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Yeah, there's something about elementary physics and engineering that's lost
on a lot of kids.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
We didn't know that that's what it took to be
Evil Canievral. We thought, just do it. I remember I
cut my groin really really bad trying to do an
Evil Canevl jump and just flying forward and hitting that
little area on the bike handle and it was it
wasn't covered. Oh I got a nice little groin shot
with that one.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
So you were actually emulating Evil Canievl because didn't he
brag that he had broken every bone in his body?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, And I didn't really get that thought to myself. Yeah,
but he's Evil Cadievil. His bones grow back miraculously or something.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I mean for Evil Knievel, you know Mark, around the
time when he was coming out, What was your headspace,
and like, what did you emulate or what did you
think about Evil Canevl.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Well, just like you, we had our bikes and we
made a little jumps in the neighborhood and in the
alley and the vacant lot and probably risked our lives.
We're probably lucky to be alive right now because of
some of the stupid stuff we did and we didn't
understand at the time. There's no good reason for Evil
Canievel to be doing anything. Why would you jump fourteen
(22:18):
buses or the Snake River canyon in a jet cycle?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Well, why wouldn't you? Why I wouldn't Why wouldn't you? Yes,
because it's cool, that's why. And he's even got a cape.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Of course, he's a hero. And by the way, there's
an Evil Canevel pinball machine that once I strike it
rich with that lottery we're going to win from Michelle.
I'm getting that in my in my one bedroom house
in Annahe'm you have to you absolutely have to.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I think that that's you know, of all the life
lessons Evil Canievel left us with it to try to
go further, to not be afraid, you know, I mean,
like the things that Evil Canevil would do. I'm sure
as kids were watching it and we didn't know any better,
but avery adult probably around the country was.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Like, oh my god, this guy's going to get themselves killed.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But for an entire generation to teach us to be fearless,
to teach us to take every challenge head on and
do it with such care and pride, and even in
his failures, you know, he would do his best to
try to put a thumbs up or something like that.
I remember the dude caught on fire once. It was like, oh,
he put the thumbs up and it was like he's over.
(23:30):
It was like, wow, thanks to come on on Channel five.
They would have a whole specially would be like Saturday,
Evil Knievel is gonna do a jump, and it would
be like just sit around the TV waiting for it
to come on, waiting for Evil Canevil to jump.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And it was before or it was I guess after
my time. But when I think of Evil Knieval, I
think of indestructible, and I think that's what you guys
must have grown up with. Well when it comes, well
you know what I mean. But like he actually but
the thing is he actually did it. It wasn't just
a movie. It wasn't pretend. He actually went out there
(24:06):
and did it, and then he went out and did
it again.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Even if you feel like like do.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Walla said, no special effects, no, none of that. It
was just him doing I used to think it was
his magic suit. I would think it was maybe that
white suit with the stars on the side. I thought
that was it. I had no idea what allowed Evil
Knievel to survive all those different things that he did.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Well, here's the deal on watching Evil Caneval. It's a
win win because if he makes the jump, yay. And
if he doesn't make the jump, also, there's something pretty
fun to watch too. He bounces around for a couple
hundred yards like a rag doll and there you go.
You win.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, wow, I absolutely, I absolutely love all my memories
of Evil Knievel. I really really do. And did you
have the toys though? Because I never had them?
Speaker 5 (24:54):
And yeah, and you talking about them makes me want
to get on eBay right now and buy them.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I actually did. And you know, it's interesting. I believe
that if I'm not mistaken, I think folk reporter Nil
Savadra has an Evil cadievl right now, I think he
has the wind up motorcycle, and if I'm not mistaken,
he might also have a Mago six million dollar man figure.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Oh, because now that you've started talking about this, I
am remembering there is a photo somewhere of little young Mark,
like six seven year old Mark with my friend at Halloween.
He's got the fancy store bought Evil Canievil Halloween costume
with the mask, and I've got the crappy homemade vampire costume.
And I wanted nothing more than to kill him and
(25:41):
take that costume. I just wanted to bludget him to death,
which would have I mean, it would have been kind
of true to the character, and he would have been grateful.
So I thought, yeah, break every bone in his body,
take the cape off him, and just go around trick
or treating in it on my own.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Take Kate, I love it. I love it. Man.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
The life lessons that Evil Cadievil gave us what prompted this.
You know what's interesting is the Wall Street Journal, the
Wall Street Journal just did this expose on the life
lessons of Evil Canievil, and just reading through it and
just looking back on all the different things that he did,
(26:23):
we will touch Base with Nori. My first time touching
base with Norri. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
KFI AM six forty Life Everywhere on the iHeart Radio
app to wail a sharp filling in for Moe Kelly
and in just a few moments, the incredible, the uncanny,
the incomparable, George Norri is going to take us to
(27:07):
the next level with Coast to Coast. Mister Norri, how
are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Good sir? I should have you introduced me as show
this all the time. I love it. We're doing great.
We got a great feel good show tonight. We're gonna
have some fun on Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You always do and that is why we tune in.
Good sir, Thank you sir. Before we get out of here,
you know something, Mark, I thought about this, Yes, d
last Friday, I was after the show. I was sitting
in and typically I'm working on the podcast after the show,
so you know, and I've got the radio on in
(27:44):
the backgrounds helping me move listening to Coast to Coast
as I do.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Now that James Brown is dead, you are the hardest
working man in show business.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Well, I would I would like to see what it
would be like for you to step up to that plate.
And I say this because I've heard that it's like
some special guests sometimes filling in on coast to coast
from time to time. And I said to myself, you
know what I would like to hear Mark Ronner filling
in one time on coast to coast, just once. Oh, anytime,
(28:15):
I would look anytime. I think you have quite possibly
one of the most interesting ways of looking at things.
I would love to see you peeling back the layers
of the beyond, getting into the unknown, getting into the
things that we may think are real but may not be,
(28:36):
but also the things that we just don't know about.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Well from your word to either God or George's ear,
I've been a Coast listener since way back in the
Art Bell days. I've always loved that show and always
had a predilection for paranormal supernatural stuff. I'm kind of
a natural skeptic, but I'm still interested in all of it.
So yeah, yeah, I thank you for bringing that up.
That'd be great, George, if you're listening, I'm here for you.
(29:01):
I think we should absolutely make that. But I know
MO has been planning the lunch gathering for a while now,
and I think that that should be one of the
topics because sometimes, you know, when you come out of
the studio and you walk by the mixing station where
I'm at working on the podcast, and you'll, you know,
(29:23):
wax poetic about some this, that or the other. And
I'm always thinking to myself, man, mark your mind, the
way you put things together. You're like unnaturally deep. You're
like on the seafloor with it. It's either put me
in prison or give me something like that to do,
I think, And you know, I think I mentioned to
you that the last comic book story I sold was
(29:44):
a Bigfoot Sasquatch story, and that stuff has always been
fascinating to.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I mean that alone.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
I mean, you know, your your work that you have
with zombies and those stories and just all that. That's
what I'm saying. Your mind and how go to me
is like you are the closest thing that or the
closest that I know to someone who thinks like I believe,
Rod Serling thought, well.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
That's a big compliment. And I've written The Twilight Zone too,
and that's of all the comics that I've written, including
my creator owned one, the zombie western called Rotten, the
Twilight Zone is the thing I'm most proud of because
I don't know who your foundational people who are who
are like at the basis of your personality when you
were developing and were heroes to you. But there was
(30:33):
no bigger hero to me than Rod Serling, and I
devoted a massive amount of effort to trying to recapture
his voice in the comics I did. And by the way,
if you go out and buy any of the trade
paperbacks are available, you can find them anywhere. I don't
make any money off those at this point. I got
paid one page eight years ago, and that's it. I
just I like to connect with other people who loved
(30:54):
Serling and the Twilight Zone. And I even reached out
to Serling's daughter and to be a guest when I
guest hosted, and hopefully we can make that happen at
some point. I love all of that stuff. Okay, I'm
going to put it into the universe. But when you
fill in for George Norri, when, yes, when it's when
(31:17):
you fill in for George Norri, you have got to
get and Sirling on and just go hog wild. Oh
I'd love to. And I follow her on we we're
Facebook friends, and I follow her on ex Twitter, and
every time she posts something from her father, it's so
inspirational to me because we need Rod Serling right now.
(31:38):
And you've got to remember that these weren't just fantasies.
They were vehicles to comment on his times. And I
think often, what would Rod Serling say about the things
that we're experiencing and seeing right now? And I think
he already said it's it's there. It's there in his
work if you go back and look at it, and
I do very often. So if you if you that
(32:00):
you and I are brothers.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
This is why, this is why it's the cats.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
It's right though, And I'm telling right now, look and Serling,
go on and have your people reach out to Mark,
because when he fills in for George Nori, we're gonna
need to have you on as a guest.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
All right now, all we have to do is make
sure George knows about this.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, absolutely, all right. Moe is out tomorrow, so I
will be filling in for him tomorrow. We may not
have the movie game, but dammit, We're gonna have a
Friday full of fun. TGIF is on the way, so
make sure you tune in for tomorrow seven o'clock. Be
(32:43):
here or forever be square. This is KFI AM six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
We go through all the thing's going on so that
we can tell you just that you need to know.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
