Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI mo Kelly YouTube, Instagram, iHeartRadio app. We are live
and I don't know where you live, but I know
if you live by me or if you live by Stephen.
I can't speak for Tuala and Mark. But the Fourth
of July holiday. I didn't say Memorial Day weekend. I
said the Fourth of July holiday started three four weeks ago.
(00:35):
It maybe even longer, like in April, late March am
I line, they started with the illegal fireworks late March,
early April.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And it's the same every year.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
They'll start starts off small and it gets to be
a veritable party. After a certain point, we're at the party.
So the the Fourth of July holiday has already begun.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, I feel bad because I get I get home
around eleven and I'll just be getting into my house
and it's just boom yes, And I'm like there's probably
kids trying to sleep, getting ready for school the next
day and parents getting ready and they got to deal
with that.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
It's like it's the bed of the week. It's it's
not even the weekend. It's in the middle of the week.
That's what's even worse. Yeah, it'd be like a Tuesday
or Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I say that because when it's reported that authorities in
La County sees more than one hundred thousand pounds of
illegal fireworks today, I would say maybe thirty five thousand
of those pounds were from my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay, maybe maybe thirty four thousand.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
No, no, no, no, you had it to write the first
time I could believe that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
You've been.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
You've been every single year, so you've heard the ordinance.
I've seen the ordinance. It's not fireworks, it's ordinance. It
is tantamount. Not that I've been in a war zone,
but it's from what I've seen on TV and in movies,
it is consistent with that. It is an assault on
your senses. And I understand why veterans can be unnerved
(02:12):
by fireworks, especially in my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
That's the irony.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You know, it's like they're celebrating what they gave us,
but you're kind of you're reading PTSD.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, more than one hundred thousand pounds. In other words,
fifty tons of illegal fireworks will seize today. And this
is according to CalFire. The Office of the State Fire
Marshall conducted the seizure in the City of Commerce, where
it responded to reports that a fireworks importer and exporter
weren't following the requirements of a licensee despite being a
(02:45):
licensed vendor. You mean someone selling illegal fireworks. No, you're
saying that a legal vendor of fireworks is selling illegal fireworks.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
No, who would have ever thunk it?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Who would have thought that someone would have sold illegal fireworks.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They do it all year long, it's ever present.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
In fact, after the Fourth of July holiday, you think
they would have spent all their money use all their
fireworks on the fourth of July. Can't speak for your neighborhood, Tuala,
but in my neighborhood is going on until August and
it's almost like you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Haven't run out yet. Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Ever run out of fireworks. It's almost like they're just waiting. Okay,
school's back for September. Maybe we can call with, you know,
equip with the fireworks.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
That's where the drone situation would be great because they
could actually catch the ones that are doing.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
The really really really illegal ones. But I don't think
they've ever tried to catch the people.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I'm being serious because every single year you've you haven't
been in my house.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But twala, you see my house.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
There are professional grade fireworks shows in a three sixty
panoramic view around my house, and every single one of
them is illegal, and nobody's getting arrested.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Nobody.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
There's there's too many. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But it's not a question yeah, you going back to
the drone conversation, it's not a question of where they are.
I can point, I can tell you that's that's, that's
so and so's house. You know, it's not a secret.
It's all out in the open.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
If you drive down the one ten on July fourth,
it is free when I'm.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Going home on both sides of the freeway and on
the overpassages.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's insane.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
But but but it is also really really cool to see.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Oh it is. I just know that someone's going to
get hurt, that's all. I remember.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
When we were walking back to our car last year,
some folks that are right there on the main street,
they let off some bomb in the middle street and
it was so impactful that car alarms on both side
streets start going off. That's how much the impact was
shook cars and did that. I'm like, that's a bomb,
(05:03):
that's not a firework. Kat's love that.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
By the way, Well, my pets are immune to it,
and I've actually put up videos. Don't ask me why
they have no problem. They don't in any way react.
In other words, they're not even scared to go outside.
They just go outside. It's almost like they do not
hear it or react at all. They don't care. It's
amazing to me. And it's not like I try to
(05:25):
subject them to it to get them used to it.
But they just don't care. They don't care. They go
about their day. They don't react, they don't flinch, they
don't cower nothing I flinch.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
In fact, the people who set off these fireworks, those
are the ones who should be renditioned and taken to
those hell jails in l Salvador in Libya. Yeah, get
rid of those people.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
But did you hear in the story that I was
talking about, they basically find these people the fireworks import
and exporter weren't following the law and they weren't necessarily
selling legal fireworks.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But it doesn't say anybody was arrested.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It doesn't say that any you know they seized the
illegal fireworks, but they didn't say they were also charged
with felonies for X, Y and Z.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Put them on a cool hand Luke chain gang. I
want them gone.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Look I would too, but it goes back to what
I was saying.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I mean, yeah, so what you confiscated the fireworks, but
they're just gonna buy more. It's like it's like the
speed camera su Yeah, right, if you're just gonna find them,
there's really nothing that's gonna serve as a deterrent. You're
not gonna You're not gonna prevent them from doing It's like, okay,
they stole my last dash. But since they're not actually
arresting someone, since they're not actually putting people in prison
(06:47):
for this, which I can think is probably some sort
of federal law because it's probably being imported from Mexico, probably.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
No, you know, you know, it's actually and I remember
we talked about this last year. Most of the illegal
fireworks that we're getting are coming from Nevada, where fireworks
are legal. And so because remember we talked about that,
California was trying to come up with some type of
agreement with Nevada to increase fines for crossing borders with
illegal fireworks and put that from California, that makes it
(07:18):
federal as well.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I'm just saying if you cross, if you cross state
lines and commit a crime, that that's federal in nature.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But again, if you're just finding people, whether.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's coming from Nevada, whether it's coming from Mexico, it
doesn't make any difference because when I go home tonight,
I will hear a bunch of illegal fireworks and nothing
will matter, Nothing is going to change.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Oh no, I'm sure if you walk out there in
your bathrobe and remind them, hey, that's not legal here,
they'll they'll stop right away.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, just like road rage.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, if if I give someone the runner, that's going
to make them change their behavior, well yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You're discission. Maybe I just throw an egg at them.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
No, you know, in mos in most neighborhood, the individuals
and I've seen these individuals that are lighting up these
illegal uh Sata Monica pier Rose Bowl level firework shows
straight out of Downtown Disney firework shows. These are also
individuals that are heavily gang related. Okay, these are individuals who.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Are also also also firing off guns so this is
a do not approach situations.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Oh you leave them alone, I was gonna say, because
I'm sure you see it too. I laugh every year
when they put up those caution not cautionary, but those
warning signs.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
The construction sign. Yeah, that's a block off the street.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That's say you know, oh, you can only do fireworks
till eleven pm.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Meanwhile it's three in the morning, right, and they're still
going like, oh yeah, that don't work. There's an old
saying and it goes like this, who gonna check me? Boo?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Who is going to Who's going to tell the gang
member next to my house that he has to stop
setting off fireworks? Illegal fireworks at eleven pm.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
This is where Marvel should do a Punisher story where
he just goes around a neighborhood and takes people out
who are doing fireworks, disturbing everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, but you do know that the Punisher doesn't have
great aim or care for the general public.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
He'll just shoot up the whole block. What Like he's
an Imperial storm trooper. You can't hit anything, right.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I don't know he can hit stuff, but I'm just
saying he he he's not surgical.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
This isn't satisfying the least. Bid.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm just saying, Look, if you actually come to my
fourth of July so at Chateau le Mo, you'll get.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
To see it firsthand. Well no, I'm afraid to.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Oh no, it is a massively fun time. Yeah, it
is a spectacle though, big big fud.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Except for the risk of getting shot by a gang
member for asking them to please tone down.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Then you don't have to approach them.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No bullet may fall out of the sky from them
shooting up in the air. Yeah, that is a risk,
but how could I resist. It's just like getting struck
by lightning. If it happens, you know, it's just meant
to be. It's God's will, that's right. It's Later with
mo Kelly KIM six forty. We're live on YouTube, Instagram
and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I mister mo Kelly here live on YouTube, Instagram and
the iHeartRadio app. And I'm quite sure the chat is
off the chain in Motown on the YouTube chat. Can't
speak for the Instagram chat, but I know you guys
like to get it cracking up in there.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Just keep it somewhare respectful. Please. You may remember, or
maybe you don't remember.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Some months ago we talked about We talked about cruises
a lot. I don't know if there's any show who's
more pro cruise than this one. I've been on six
or seven cruises. I recruited to Wallea go on a cruise.
Now he's a cruise advocate. We're working on Mark Runner.
Probably not ever going to happen. I'm pro neurovirus. Does
that count?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yes? It does?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okay, But the point is we're very cruise and the
cruising experience, and we try to pass along our wisdom
to you. We talked about a story with which detail
what supposedly happens when someone dies on a cruise and
the giveaway and I don't want to say dead giveaway,
but the giveaway is if you're on a cruise and
(11:19):
everyone gets ice cream, that usually is an indicator that
someone died. The reason being, let's say, if you're on
a longer cruise and you may have maybe you have
two or three days at sea, you're not in port.
If someone dies, you have to put the body somewhere.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Usually it's in.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
The freezer to make room, they move out some of
the perishables in the freezer, and usually it's ice cream.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So as the tail.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Goes, if there's like a ship wide ice cream party,
that's usually an indicator.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
As somebody asks, died on the ship.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
With that mind, when I tell you about a nineteen
day cruise, in other words, you have some sea days
out there where you're not in port. A nineteen day
cruise and the captain died in the middle of the cruise,
A lot of questions come to mind a lot. And
it's not like the captain dying on an airplane. It's
(12:28):
not like you have to worry about the ship running
aground or you know, we're gonna hit some rocks.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's not like that.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You have plenty of competent people who can manage the
ship in an emergency situation. But it does call into question,
almost begs the question mark. It calls into question when
and how is that information communicated to the passengers on
(12:56):
a cruise ship.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
That raises the question raises I think it begs it.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
No, you know it begs, and it calls in the
question can it pardon the question?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Look, the.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Fact that this captain died and ice cream was immediately distributed.
That is when they let the passengers know this is
my thing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's like, doesn't that kind of like put a damper
on the captain's dinner?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
It turns it into a wake.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
How it's free ice cream for everybody. You never saw
that in the Love Boat. I'll tell you, well, the
captain Stubing never died. No, no, they really missed an
opportunity with that. But ice cream makes everything better. Yes,
you ever read oh what's that book? In Cold Blood?
One of the killers moms after they're executed, goes to
eat and she's sitting there pouting that the waitress gives
(13:45):
her an extra scoop for free, and everything's better.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This is a part of princess cruises. And I've never
been on princess cruises, but I can imagine that it
would be a damper and a downer for the cruise
for the rest of the cruise. It's a nineteen day cruise,
and in fact, this cruise it's still going on.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
They're not going to finish.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
They're not going to come back home until May twenty fifth,
So we're talking like Sunday they get back in port.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
This is what the release was.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Quote, it is with profound sadness that we share the
news of the passing of Captain Michel bart Bartolomi, who
had a sudden medical emergency and died on board Diamond Princess.
Captain Bartolomi was a respected leader who's decades of service
at sea exemplified professionalism, dedication, and care for both guests
(14:30):
and crew. And it goes on and on, But the
point is they did announce to all the cruisers that
the captain had left the ship in so many words, all.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Right, mother razors. But does not beg another question, which
is I just got finished watching all five seasons or
four or five seasons of Black Sales. When a captain
dies on a cruise ship, did they got to wrap
him in the canvas and slide him overboard.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No, they put him in the freezer. That's all point.
Oh he just stays there. Yes, no, no, No, they
don't bear him. No. Oh that is such a ripoff.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, that's the whole point of clearing space in the freezer,
because it turns into a more well, I thought it
might have just been temporary.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
And then he gets his his send off like a
like a true seman, No, that.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Probably would be illegal. You can't. You can't just get
depose a body. It's gonna to wash up somewhere, somewhere
is going to wash up. Some pirates might take issue
with this.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, well yeah, And also you have to discern whether
after the you know, the medical examiner, it examines the
body cause of death. You just can't have Oh, the
captain just up and died and so we just threw
him overboard.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Be somewhat suspicions.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
All these regulations in red tape too much, too much
on the high seats.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Only really really cool is if in their press release
or announcement to the staff or to the cruisers, they
would say something to the effect of, we have lost
dear Captain Bartholomeule or whatever his name was. And Captain
Bartholomele was a huge fan of ice cream, and as
a result, one is getting free ice cream as the
(16:10):
captain's last wish.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
They could play it off. They could have.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Easily spun that, Yeah, don't think of it as death
ice cream.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Anytime you're on vacation and there is a death, it
kind of ruins the vacation. If you're on a plane
and someone dies on the plane. It's not a good
sign if you're on the ship and someone dies on
the ship, not even saying the captain, just anyone. That's
gonna make it a much worse experience. And it's like,
(16:37):
why did they cancel the captain's dinner if you don't
know if you go on a cruise, every cruise there
is a captain's dinner, depending on how long the cruise is.
It changes which night. It could be the second night
or the middle of the cruise.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Whatever. That's what you dress up and you get to
beat the captain.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
The captain goes around all the tables and in greets everyone.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
So the good news is that everybody gets ice cream.
The bad news is that the captain's the same temperature.
It's a captain sickle.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah if I am six forty YouTube and Instagram and
Daniel loved the hell of that joke because I could
hear him from down the hall laughing a like RelA
on Instagram, YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Mister m'kelly, he wants a sort this is Autonomous vehicles
might be on the ball Motoola cools on Clinger tone
under control. This says m Kelly is wrong with Mo
(17:56):
thinks he's on the payroll way, moad.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Over bad.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
All right, Swalla, all right to Walla, all right to Walla.
I'm going to play some audio and then I'm going
to give you the floor. Okay, I'm just going to
place some adio and the floor is yours. And I'm
not gonna like this at all.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
Hey, John, So, Weimo has just surpassed ten million fully
driverless rides. That doubles its lifetime total in just the
last five months. The alphabet unit hit five million rides
at the end of last year in total. Now that
trajectory is set to accelerate as it expands into new
cities like Atlanta and Miami. This is a major milestone
for the robotaxi race. It's also a direct challenge to
(18:56):
Tesla ahead of its own autonomy push I just said
to exclusively with Weymo's Coco to key dram Alcana. What
was your name is Coco to key dram molocanam.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Hm, Wait a minute, what's your name? Somebody's getting ta
ketos to key dram Molokana say that five times fast.
I don't know if it's a Japanese name.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
What to key dram Alcana, who says.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It almost sounds maybe Hawaiian.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
It could be, but it's Takedra Molakana.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
He dream Alcana, who said that every trip at the
scale is accelerating the rate at which the driver is learning. Now,
Elon Musk, of course, you guys all just heard it
just slam way.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Now this is very important.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Actually, will they make a distinction between what Elon Musk
is trying to do versus what Weymo is trying to do,
and in it you will see not only the future
of autonomous vehicles, but also the future of our society.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Very important to listen to this.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Of course, you guys, I'll just heard it. Just slammed
Weymo's approach, calling it unnecessarily complicated, that multiple censors like
lighter create more confusion, not less. But Mama kind of
push back on that in our interview, saying that their
goal isn't just to assist the driver, it's to replace them.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Entirely, replace the driver entirely. Okay, that's beyond just you know,
ride sharing, giving people rides from here to the airport.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
That's about the ending uber as we know it, getting.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Lyft as we know it, completely replacing the bus drivers, yes,
truck car drivers, all of that.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay, the floor is yours to wallet. Go ahead and gloat.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I just find it interesting that less than a week
after you try.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
To malign and besmirch the name of waim.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
We have this factual, contextual data that shows not just
its growth here in southern California, but it's growth into
huge markets across this country, even in sane San Francisco,
where the most resistance was being mounted. They just were
granted a humuggous expansion throughout San Francisco into the Bay Area.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Way mo is the way to go. I just need that, Jackson,
just right now, off the top.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
I understand that last week our very own Tiffany Hobbs
tried to claim that WEAIMO dropped her off in uh
cry Alley, and you know her mother's pearls were almost
stolen in some type of Batman shootout. I get that,
but she's fine, she's here today. I'm saying all of
(21:42):
this leads to one thing. That way MO is the future,
and Foosh, I love you, my brother from another mother.
But within a year or two, there will be no
Foosh taking off on weekends or days where he needs
a break to.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Go and do some Uber ring.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
It's not gonna happen because Uber will have partnered with
Waymo or at least even Elon Musk for driver list technology.
Why because why have to worry about someone unionizing or
complaining about rates and insurance and blah blah blah blah blah.
It's like, no, the robots don't do any of that.
You said, Rache, I thought you said Rape. I'm being serious. No, No,
(22:18):
you don't have to worry about the driver issues. You
don't have to worry about the driver issues at all.
There's no driver, there's no time off, there's no I
have to have you know, my what are they? The
bonus areas? You don't have to have any of that.
It's just the car, the search, pricing, all that's done
twenty four hours. And this is something that we've already
seen is expanding into mass transit, into buses, into trucks,
(22:43):
into all of that. We are on the precipice of
having this self driving technology here for us. It's no
longer in the future. It is now, and way Mo
as you see in this is leading.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
The way, does have any wardrobe today at all? Any
any new No? No, I do not know. I do
not Okay, can we go to commercial now? You don't
need to go to commercial. Can we get in a
way more commercial? Can we?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Can we talk about something else now? I gave you
the floor, all right, Nancy new shoes, and I just
want to gloat. You want to rub it in. I
thought I thought much higher than twelve. I didn't think
he was stooped so low. Oh, I'm stoopid. I'm stupid.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Sid I've been waiting for this stupid because I knew
it was coming.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I knew it was coming. You will be adopting this
sooner than later. Stooping bending? What's the difference? Not so loud?
It was about to be a verbal rock. Wait a minute,
we didn't bring it up. I looked up a picture
of the the waymo ceo, look up a picture of her.
(23:50):
It is clear. Why to wallace all in on wimo?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
No, Yeah, being a very attractive woman has nothing to do.
He's not gonna date, has nothing to do with my
passion for the future of driver list technology.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Nothing to No. No, I'm sure you didn't even notice.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
She's not a robo woman, She's all woman.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Now, can we go to commercial? Oh wow, Yeah, I
am six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app
and YouTube and Instagram.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
KFI YouTube, Instagram is Later with Mo Kelly. We're live
everywhere and we're gonna be live all the way until
ten pm.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Last second.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
We're having some fun as we always do, talking about
way Moo and how, if anything, they've turned the corner.
I know another pun as far as public perception of
the company with more than ten million, I don't know
rides or whatever that they've given, and they've further expanded
into major markets.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We had fun with them. But here's this serious component
to the conversation.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
When we talk about Waimo and its growing popularity, you
have to know that it doesn't only end with the
ride share business. It's going to end trucking as we
know it. It is going to end delivery as we
know it is going to fundamentally change our society, the
(25:30):
whole idea of autonomous vehicles. It's going to change car ownership,
don't you know that we're only one step away from
personal autonomous, fully autonomous vehicle ownership. We're not talking about
ride share, talking about your own vehicle in the way
that like you would see in the movies or cartoons,
(25:50):
where you get in the car or it.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Just drives you wherever.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
The whole concept of driving maybe and this is just
a rough estimate, let's say ten years from being obsolete
where we would not drive anywhere. When we talk about
what you know, the evs of the future, No, it's
going to be a driverless future. I just don't know
when it's going to get here. But you know they'll
eventually get the technology to a point where everyone will
(26:16):
start adopting it. And this goes back to our other
conversation talking about a universal basic income. There just won't
be enough jobs for everyone. We talk about you should
learn this trade. You don't need to go to college.
College is a scam. They're just jobs that won't exist anymore.
How many welding jobs have disappeared on automotive assembly lines
(26:36):
because of automation?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Yeah, yeah, how many jobs period? I know that there's
this big push to bring check stands back in the
place and have you know, stores and stuff like that
that's not really going to come back. The moment that
you get the security and all of that in place
with self checkout, stores will be done with cashiers. They'll
(27:01):
be done with all of that. They are already working steadily. Hilton,
some of the major hotel chains within this country are
working on AI concierge and all of that.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
This is where we're going.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Doctors' offices are working at eliminating their receptionists and their
assistance and all that with AI programs that can answer
all of your questions.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I got one step better as far as my contemporary
use of AI. The other week, I was going out
to a restaurant, me and my wife. I had my
phone and it's AI. Set up the reservation for me,
call the restaurant, make the reservation. Originally, when my phone
called the restaurant, the place was closed. It sent me
a message saying we will call back when they opened.
(27:47):
It called back when it's open, made the reservation and
put it on my calendar for me. I didn't have
to do anything except tell my wife when to get
in the car.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
And you're telling me that that there isn't going to
come on points and I say this in all serious,
that we are living in a world similar to Demolition Man,
where you just have a society that is relatively free
of human interaction and doing anything, and you will have
to have a sub society which is surviving on a
(28:17):
mandated regulatory basic income. Get yourself, some people, get your lights,
and that's like living off the government. You know, there's
gonna be no other way. Car Amazon has now robots
going back and forth in those factories, taking boxes off
the shelf and putting them on cars.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Well, when I was talking about driving downtown earlier today
when I got the runner from this Tesla owner, I
meant to also say that I drove by at least
two or three delivery bots, obviously delivering food or something,
and they're everywhere downtown. Oh yeah, they're all over downtown,
and they're like these little toys on most like you
can just kick them over. But that is our society
(29:01):
embracing the technology and its applications which extend far beyond
what we may presently think.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
And to Walla's point, yeah, I mean it. I almost
feel like we're a little bit behind. Because remember there's
that video.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I have it loaded.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
If you guys, want to hear it again about that
Google AI that made the reservation.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, and it has the inflection of a human being.
And that was seven eight years ago, almost ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Do you have it handy? Yeah? Okay, the play if
you got it, if it's handy. This is about ten
years ago.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
So happening out here. Hi, I'm trying to book a
woman's haircut for a client. I'm looking for something I natured. Sure,
I give me one.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Mm hm.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
That's the AI with the uh are.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
What time are you looking for? A row at twelve pm?
We do not have a twelve pm available. The closest
we have to that is a one fifteen. Do you
have anything between ten am and twelve pm? Depending on
what service she would like? What service is she looking for?
(30:09):
Just a woman's haircut for now? Okay, we have a
ten o'clock ten am is fine. Okay, what's your first name?
The first name is Lisa. Okay, perfect, So I will
see Lisa at ten o'clock on May third.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Okay, great, thanks, great, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Back twenty fifteen, we can assume the quote unquote executive
assistant job that we all were familiar with. We either
were one or we had someone working for me in
that capacity, those jobs are gone.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, you're right, it was eight years ago, but still
but still Okay. Yeah, that's where all this is going.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
When we talked about universal basic income, because politically it
is not a popular idea, but realistically it is coming
because well always talking about well unemployments going up with
there are fewer jobs. There are literally fewer positions available
that need people. And going back to what Mark Ronner
(31:13):
has always argued and I've talked about with him, corporate
greed is about diminishing.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Expenses.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
If they can do the job without you and not
have to worry about your payroll, your vacation, your lawsuits,
they're gonna get rid of you.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I actually forgot all about this.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Three weeks ago, it was revealed through The Independent and
various websites that in Australia there is a radio station
that secretly replaced its afternoon hosts with an AI host,
and they did this for six months months before they
(31:53):
revealed that it was AI, and listeners were shocked. They
had literally no idea that the host was not there,
that the host just lended her voice to this AI program.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
But basically Max headroom.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Basically, I know it's a scary thing to hear for
us in this room, but but but this was going
on in six months as a beta test.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
We're all eminently replaceable. And I'm not talking about just radio.
I'm talking about whatever job that you're doing right now.
If they haven't figured out technology to replace you, just
keep on living. They'll eventually get around to you. K
IF I Am six forty YouTube, Instagram, the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
News without Lisk, you Kfi and the kost HD.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Two Los Angeles, Orange County Live everywhere on the radio
app
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI mo Kelly YouTube, Instagram, iHeartRadio app. We are live
and I don't know where you live, but I know
if you live by me or if you live by Stephen.
I can't speak for Tuala and Mark. But the Fourth
of July holiday. I didn't say Memorial Day weekend. I
said the Fourth of July holiday started three four weeks ago.
(00:35):
It maybe even longer, like in April, late March am
I line, they started with the illegal fireworks late March,
early April.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And it's the same every year.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
They'll start starts off small and it gets to be
a veritable party. After a certain point, we're at the party.
So the the Fourth of July holiday has already begun.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, I feel bad because I get I get home
around eleven and I'll just be getting into my house
and it's just boom yes, And I'm like there's probably
kids trying to sleep, getting ready for school the next
day and parents getting ready and they got to deal
with that.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
It's like it's the bed of the week. It's it's
not even the weekend. It's in the middle of the week.
That's what's even worse. Yeah, it'd be like a Tuesday
or Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I say that because when it's reported that authorities in
La County sees more than one hundred thousand pounds of
illegal fireworks today, I would say maybe thirty five thousand
of those pounds were from my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay, maybe maybe thirty four thousand.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
No, no, no, no, you had it to write the first
time I could believe that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
You've been.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
You've been every single year, so you've heard the ordinance.
I've seen the ordinance. It's not fireworks, it's ordinance. It
is tantamount. Not that I've been in a war zone,
but it's from what I've seen on TV and in movies,
it is consistent with that. It is an assault on
your senses. And I understand why veterans can be unnerved
(02:12):
by fireworks, especially in my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
That's the irony.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You know, it's like they're celebrating what they gave us,
but you're kind of you're reading PTSD.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, more than one hundred thousand pounds. In other words,
fifty tons of illegal fireworks will seize today. And this
is according to CalFire. The Office of the State Fire
Marshall conducted the seizure in the City of Commerce, where
it responded to reports that a fireworks importer and exporter
weren't following the requirements of a licensee despite being a
(02:45):
licensed vendor. You mean someone selling illegal fireworks. No, you're
saying that a legal vendor of fireworks is selling illegal fireworks.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
No, who would have ever thunk it?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Who would have thought that someone would have sold illegal fireworks.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They do it all year long, it's ever present.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
In fact, after the Fourth of July holiday, you think
they would have spent all their money use all their
fireworks on the fourth of July. Can't speak for your neighborhood, Tuala,
but in my neighborhood is going on until August and
it's almost like you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Haven't run out yet. Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Ever run out of fireworks. It's almost like they're just waiting. Okay,
school's back for September. Maybe we can call with, you know,
equip with the fireworks.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
That's where the drone situation would be great because they
could actually catch the ones that are doing.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
The really really really illegal ones. But I don't think
they've ever tried to catch the people.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I'm being serious because every single year you've you haven't
been in my house.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But twala, you see my house.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
There are professional grade fireworks shows in a three sixty
panoramic view around my house, and every single one of
them is illegal, and nobody's getting arrested.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Nobody.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
There's there's too many. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But it's not a question yeah, you going back to
the drone conversation, it's not a question of where they are.
I can point, I can tell you that's that's, that's
so and so's house. You know, it's not a secret.
It's all out in the open.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
If you drive down the one ten on July fourth,
it is free when I'm.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Going home on both sides of the freeway and on
the overpassages.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's insane.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
But but but it is also really really cool to see.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Oh it is. I just know that someone's going to
get hurt, that's all. I remember.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
When we were walking back to our car last year,
some folks that are right there on the main street,
they let off some bomb in the middle street and
it was so impactful that car alarms on both side
streets start going off. That's how much the impact was
shook cars and did that. I'm like, that's a bomb,
(05:03):
that's not a firework. Kat's love that.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
By the way, Well, my pets are immune to it,
and I've actually put up videos. Don't ask me why
they have no problem. They don't in any way react.
In other words, they're not even scared to go outside.
They just go outside. It's almost like they do not
hear it or react at all. They don't care. It's
amazing to me. And it's not like I try to
(05:25):
subject them to it to get them used to it.
But they just don't care. They don't care. They go
about their day. They don't react, they don't flinch, they
don't cower nothing I flinch.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
In fact, the people who set off these fireworks, those
are the ones who should be renditioned and taken to
those hell jails in l Salvador in Libya. Yeah, get
rid of those people.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
But did you hear in the story that I was
talking about, they basically find these people the fireworks import
and exporter weren't following the law and they weren't necessarily
selling legal fireworks.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But it doesn't say anybody was arrested.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It doesn't say that any you know they seized the
illegal fireworks, but they didn't say they were also charged
with felonies for X, Y and Z.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Put them on a cool hand Luke chain gang. I
want them gone.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Look I would too, but it goes back to what
I was saying.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I mean, yeah, so what you confiscated the fireworks, but
they're just gonna buy more. It's like it's like the
speed camera su Yeah, right, if you're just gonna find them,
there's really nothing that's gonna serve as a deterrent. You're
not gonna You're not gonna prevent them from doing It's like, okay,
they stole my last dash. But since they're not actually
arresting someone, since they're not actually putting people in prison
(06:47):
for this, which I can think is probably some sort
of federal law because it's probably being imported from Mexico, probably.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
No, you know, you know, it's actually and I remember
we talked about this last year. Most of the illegal
fireworks that we're getting are coming from Nevada, where fireworks
are legal. And so because remember we talked about that,
California was trying to come up with some type of
agreement with Nevada to increase fines for crossing borders with
illegal fireworks and put that from California, that makes it
(07:18):
federal as well.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I'm just saying if you cross, if you cross state
lines and commit a crime, that that's federal in nature.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But again, if you're just finding people, whether.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's coming from Nevada, whether it's coming from Mexico, it
doesn't make any difference because when I go home tonight,
I will hear a bunch of illegal fireworks and nothing
will matter, Nothing is going to change.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Oh no, I'm sure if you walk out there in
your bathrobe and remind them, hey, that's not legal here,
they'll they'll stop right away.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, just like road rage.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, if if I give someone the runner, that's going
to make them change their behavior, well yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You're discission. Maybe I just throw an egg at them.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
No, you know, in mos in most neighborhood, the individuals
and I've seen these individuals that are lighting up these
illegal uh Sata Monica pier Rose Bowl level firework shows
straight out of Downtown Disney firework shows. These are also
individuals that are heavily gang related. Okay, these are individuals who.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Are also also also firing off guns so this is
a do not approach situations.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Oh you leave them alone, I was gonna say, because
I'm sure you see it too. I laugh every year
when they put up those caution not cautionary, but those
warning signs.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
The construction sign. Yeah, that's a block off the street.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That's say you know, oh, you can only do fireworks
till eleven pm.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Meanwhile it's three in the morning, right, and they're still
going like, oh yeah, that don't work. There's an old
saying and it goes like this, who gonna check me? Boo?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Who is going to Who's going to tell the gang
member next to my house that he has to stop
setting off fireworks? Illegal fireworks at eleven pm.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
This is where Marvel should do a Punisher story where
he just goes around a neighborhood and takes people out
who are doing fireworks, disturbing everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, but you do know that the Punisher doesn't have
great aim or care for the general public.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
He'll just shoot up the whole block. What Like he's
an Imperial storm trooper. You can't hit anything, right.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I don't know he can hit stuff, but I'm just
saying he he he's not surgical.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
This isn't satisfying the least. Bid.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm just saying, Look, if you actually come to my
fourth of July so at Chateau le Mo, you'll get.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
To see it firsthand. Well no, I'm afraid to.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Oh no, it is a massively fun time. Yeah, it
is a spectacle though, big big fud.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Except for the risk of getting shot by a gang
member for asking them to please tone down.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Then you don't have to approach them.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No bullet may fall out of the sky from them
shooting up in the air. Yeah, that is a risk,
but how could I resist. It's just like getting struck
by lightning. If it happens, you know, it's just meant
to be. It's God's will, that's right. It's Later with
mo Kelly KIM six forty. We're live on YouTube, Instagram
and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I mister mo Kelly here live on YouTube, Instagram and
the iHeartRadio app. And I'm quite sure the chat is
off the chain in Motown on the YouTube chat. Can't
speak for the Instagram chat, but I know you guys
like to get it cracking up in there.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Just keep it somewhare respectful. Please. You may remember, or
maybe you don't remember.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Some months ago we talked about We talked about cruises
a lot. I don't know if there's any show who's
more pro cruise than this one. I've been on six
or seven cruises. I recruited to Wallea go on a cruise.
Now he's a cruise advocate. We're working on Mark Runner.
Probably not ever going to happen. I'm pro neurovirus. Does
that count?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yes? It does?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okay, But the point is we're very cruise and the
cruising experience, and we try to pass along our wisdom
to you. We talked about a story with which detail
what supposedly happens when someone dies on a cruise and
the giveaway and I don't want to say dead giveaway,
but the giveaway is if you're on a cruise and
(11:19):
everyone gets ice cream, that usually is an indicator that
someone died. The reason being, let's say, if you're on
a longer cruise and you may have maybe you have
two or three days at sea, you're not in port.
If someone dies, you have to put the body somewhere.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Usually it's in.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
The freezer to make room, they move out some of
the perishables in the freezer, and usually it's ice cream.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So as the tail.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Goes, if there's like a ship wide ice cream party,
that's usually an indicator.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
As somebody asks, died on the ship.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
With that mind, when I tell you about a nineteen
day cruise, in other words, you have some sea days
out there where you're not in port. A nineteen day
cruise and the captain died in the middle of the cruise,
A lot of questions come to mind a lot. And
it's not like the captain dying on an airplane. It's
(12:28):
not like you have to worry about the ship running
aground or you know, we're gonna hit some rocks.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's not like that.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You have plenty of competent people who can manage the
ship in an emergency situation. But it does call into question,
almost begs the question mark. It calls into question when
and how is that information communicated to the passengers on
(12:56):
a cruise ship.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
That raises the question raises I think it begs it.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
No, you know it begs, and it calls in the
question can it pardon the question?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Look, the.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Fact that this captain died and ice cream was immediately distributed.
That is when they let the passengers know this is
my thing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's like, doesn't that kind of like put a damper
on the captain's dinner?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
It turns it into a wake.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
How it's free ice cream for everybody. You never saw
that in the Love Boat. I'll tell you, well, the
captain Stubing never died. No, no, they really missed an
opportunity with that. But ice cream makes everything better. Yes,
you ever read oh what's that book? In Cold Blood?
One of the killers moms after they're executed, goes to
eat and she's sitting there pouting that the waitress gives
(13:45):
her an extra scoop for free, and everything's better.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This is a part of princess cruises. And I've never
been on princess cruises, but I can imagine that it
would be a damper and a downer for the cruise
for the rest of the cruise. It's a nineteen day cruise,
and in fact, this cruise it's still going on.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
They're not going to finish.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
They're not going to come back home until May twenty fifth,
So we're talking like Sunday they get back in port.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
This is what the release was.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Quote, it is with profound sadness that we share the
news of the passing of Captain Michel bart Bartolomi, who
had a sudden medical emergency and died on board Diamond Princess.
Captain Bartolomi was a respected leader who's decades of service
at sea exemplified professionalism, dedication, and care for both guests
(14:30):
and crew. And it goes on and on, But the
point is they did announce to all the cruisers that
the captain had left the ship in so many words, all.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Right, mother razors. But does not beg another question, which
is I just got finished watching all five seasons or
four or five seasons of Black Sales. When a captain
dies on a cruise ship, did they got to wrap
him in the canvas and slide him overboard.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No, they put him in the freezer. That's all point.
Oh he just stays there. Yes, no, no, No, they
don't bear him. No. Oh that is such a ripoff.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, that's the whole point of clearing space in the freezer,
because it turns into a more well, I thought it
might have just been temporary.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
And then he gets his his send off like a
like a true seman, No, that.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Probably would be illegal. You can't. You can't just get
depose a body. It's gonna to wash up somewhere, somewhere
is going to wash up. Some pirates might take issue
with this.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, well yeah, And also you have to discern whether
after the you know, the medical examiner, it examines the
body cause of death. You just can't have Oh, the
captain just up and died and so we just threw
him overboard.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Be somewhat suspicions.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
All these regulations in red tape too much, too much
on the high seats.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Only really really cool is if in their press release
or announcement to the staff or to the cruisers, they
would say something to the effect of, we have lost
dear Captain Bartholomeule or whatever his name was. And Captain
Bartholomele was a huge fan of ice cream, and as
a result, one is getting free ice cream as the
(16:10):
captain's last wish.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
They could play it off. They could have.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Easily spun that, Yeah, don't think of it as death
ice cream.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Anytime you're on vacation and there is a death, it
kind of ruins the vacation. If you're on a plane
and someone dies on the plane. It's not a good
sign if you're on the ship and someone dies on
the ship, not even saying the captain, just anyone. That's
gonna make it a much worse experience. And it's like,
(16:37):
why did they cancel the captain's dinner if you don't
know if you go on a cruise, every cruise there
is a captain's dinner, depending on how long the cruise is.
It changes which night. It could be the second night
or the middle of the cruise.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Whatever. That's what you dress up and you get to
beat the captain.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
The captain goes around all the tables and in greets everyone.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
So the good news is that everybody gets ice cream.
The bad news is that the captain's the same temperature.
It's a captain sickle.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah if I am six forty YouTube and Instagram and
Daniel loved the hell of that joke because I could
hear him from down the hall laughing a like RelA
on Instagram, YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Mister m'kelly, he wants a sort this is Autonomous vehicles
might be on the ball Motoola cools on Clinger tone
under control. This says m Kelly is wrong with Mo
(17:56):
thinks he's on the payroll way, moad.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Over bad.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
All right, Swalla, all right to Walla, all right to Walla.
I'm going to play some audio and then I'm going
to give you the floor. Okay, I'm just going to
place some adio and the floor is yours. And I'm
not gonna like this at all.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
Hey, John, So, Weimo has just surpassed ten million fully
driverless rides. That doubles its lifetime total in just the
last five months. The alphabet unit hit five million rides
at the end of last year in total. Now that
trajectory is set to accelerate as it expands into new
cities like Atlanta and Miami. This is a major milestone
for the robotaxi race. It's also a direct challenge to
(18:56):
Tesla ahead of its own autonomy push I just said
to exclusively with Weymo's Coco to key dram Alcana. What
was your name is Coco to key dram molocanam.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Hm, Wait a minute, what's your name? Somebody's getting ta
ketos to key dram Molokana say that five times fast.
I don't know if it's a Japanese name.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
What to key dram Alcana, who says.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It almost sounds maybe Hawaiian.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
It could be, but it's Takedra Molakana.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
He dream Alcana, who said that every trip at the
scale is accelerating the rate at which the driver is learning. Now,
Elon Musk, of course, you guys all just heard it
just slam way.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Now this is very important.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Actually, will they make a distinction between what Elon Musk
is trying to do versus what Weymo is trying to do,
and in it you will see not only the future
of autonomous vehicles, but also the future of our society.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Very important to listen to this.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Of course, you guys, I'll just heard it. Just slammed
Weymo's approach, calling it unnecessarily complicated, that multiple censors like
lighter create more confusion, not less. But Mama kind of
push back on that in our interview, saying that their
goal isn't just to assist the driver, it's to replace them.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Entirely, replace the driver entirely. Okay, that's beyond just you know,
ride sharing, giving people rides from here to the airport.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
That's about the ending uber as we know it, getting.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Lyft as we know it, completely replacing the bus drivers, yes,
truck car drivers, all of that.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay, the floor is yours to wallet. Go ahead and gloat.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I just find it interesting that less than a week
after you try.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
To malign and besmirch the name of waim.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
We have this factual, contextual data that shows not just
its growth here in southern California, but it's growth into
huge markets across this country, even in sane San Francisco,
where the most resistance was being mounted. They just were
granted a humuggous expansion throughout San Francisco into the Bay Area.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Way mo is the way to go. I just need that, Jackson,
just right now, off the top.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
I understand that last week our very own Tiffany Hobbs
tried to claim that WEAIMO dropped her off in uh
cry Alley, and you know her mother's pearls were almost
stolen in some type of Batman shootout. I get that,
but she's fine, she's here today. I'm saying all of
(21:42):
this leads to one thing. That way MO is the future,
and Foosh, I love you, my brother from another mother.
But within a year or two, there will be no
Foosh taking off on weekends or days where he needs
a break to.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Go and do some Uber ring.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
It's not gonna happen because Uber will have partnered with
Waymo or at least even Elon Musk for driver list technology.
Why because why have to worry about someone unionizing or
complaining about rates and insurance and blah blah blah blah blah.
It's like, no, the robots don't do any of that.
You said, Rache, I thought you said Rape. I'm being serious. No, No,
(22:18):
you don't have to worry about the driver issues. You
don't have to worry about the driver issues at all.
There's no driver, there's no time off, there's no I
have to have you know, my what are they? The
bonus areas? You don't have to have any of that.
It's just the car, the search, pricing, all that's done
twenty four hours. And this is something that we've already
seen is expanding into mass transit, into buses, into trucks,
(22:43):
into all of that. We are on the precipice of
having this self driving technology here for us. It's no
longer in the future. It is now, and way Mo
as you see in this is leading.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
The way, does have any wardrobe today at all? Any
any new No? No, I do not know. I do
not Okay, can we go to commercial now? You don't
need to go to commercial. Can we get in a
way more commercial? Can we?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Can we talk about something else now? I gave you
the floor, all right, Nancy new shoes, and I just
want to gloat. You want to rub it in. I
thought I thought much higher than twelve. I didn't think
he was stooped so low. Oh, I'm stoopid. I'm stupid.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Sid I've been waiting for this stupid because I knew
it was coming.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I knew it was coming. You will be adopting this
sooner than later. Stooping bending? What's the difference? Not so loud?
It was about to be a verbal rock. Wait a minute,
we didn't bring it up. I looked up a picture
of the the waymo ceo, look up a picture of her.
(23:50):
It is clear. Why to wallace all in on wimo?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
No, Yeah, being a very attractive woman has nothing to do.
He's not gonna date, has nothing to do with my
passion for the future of driver list technology.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Nothing to No. No, I'm sure you didn't even notice.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
She's not a robo woman, She's all woman.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Now, can we go to commercial? Oh wow, Yeah, I
am six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app
and YouTube and Instagram.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
KFI YouTube, Instagram is Later with Mo Kelly. We're live
everywhere and we're gonna be live all the way until
ten pm.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Last second.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
We're having some fun as we always do, talking about
way Moo and how, if anything, they've turned the corner.
I know another pun as far as public perception of
the company with more than ten million, I don't know
rides or whatever that they've given, and they've further expanded
into major markets.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We had fun with them. But here's this serious component
to the conversation.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
When we talk about Waimo and its growing popularity, you
have to know that it doesn't only end with the
ride share business. It's going to end trucking as we
know it. It is going to end delivery as we
know it is going to fundamentally change our society, the
(25:30):
whole idea of autonomous vehicles. It's going to change car ownership,
don't you know that we're only one step away from
personal autonomous, fully autonomous vehicle ownership. We're not talking about
ride share, talking about your own vehicle in the way
that like you would see in the movies or cartoons,
(25:50):
where you get in the car or it.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Just drives you wherever.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
The whole concept of driving maybe and this is just
a rough estimate, let's say ten years from being obsolete
where we would not drive anywhere. When we talk about
what you know, the evs of the future, No, it's
going to be a driverless future. I just don't know
when it's going to get here. But you know they'll
eventually get the technology to a point where everyone will
(26:16):
start adopting it. And this goes back to our other
conversation talking about a universal basic income. There just won't
be enough jobs for everyone. We talk about you should
learn this trade. You don't need to go to college.
College is a scam. They're just jobs that won't exist anymore.
How many welding jobs have disappeared on automotive assembly lines
(26:36):
because of automation?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Yeah, yeah, how many jobs period? I know that there's
this big push to bring check stands back in the
place and have you know, stores and stuff like that
that's not really going to come back. The moment that
you get the security and all of that in place
with self checkout, stores will be done with cashiers. They'll
(27:01):
be done with all of that. They are already working steadily. Hilton,
some of the major hotel chains within this country are
working on AI concierge and all of that.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
This is where we're going.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Doctors' offices are working at eliminating their receptionists and their
assistance and all that with AI programs that can answer
all of your questions.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I got one step better as far as my contemporary
use of AI. The other week, I was going out
to a restaurant, me and my wife. I had my
phone and it's AI. Set up the reservation for me,
call the restaurant, make the reservation. Originally, when my phone
called the restaurant, the place was closed. It sent me
a message saying we will call back when they opened.
(27:47):
It called back when it's open, made the reservation and
put it on my calendar for me. I didn't have
to do anything except tell my wife when to get
in the car.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
And you're telling me that that there isn't going to
come on points and I say this in all serious,
that we are living in a world similar to Demolition Man,
where you just have a society that is relatively free
of human interaction and doing anything, and you will have
to have a sub society which is surviving on a
(28:17):
mandated regulatory basic income. Get yourself, some people, get your lights,
and that's like living off the government. You know, there's
gonna be no other way. Car Amazon has now robots
going back and forth in those factories, taking boxes off
the shelf and putting them on cars.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Well, when I was talking about driving downtown earlier today
when I got the runner from this Tesla owner, I
meant to also say that I drove by at least
two or three delivery bots, obviously delivering food or something,
and they're everywhere downtown. Oh yeah, they're all over downtown,
and they're like these little toys on most like you
can just kick them over. But that is our society
(29:01):
embracing the technology and its applications which extend far beyond
what we may presently think.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
And to Walla's point, yeah, I mean it. I almost
feel like we're a little bit behind. Because remember there's
that video.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I have it loaded.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
If you guys, want to hear it again about that
Google AI that made the reservation.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, and it has the inflection of a human being.
And that was seven eight years ago, almost ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Do you have it handy? Yeah? Okay, the play if
you got it, if it's handy. This is about ten
years ago.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
So happening out here. Hi, I'm trying to book a
woman's haircut for a client. I'm looking for something I natured. Sure,
I give me one.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Mm hm.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
That's the AI with the uh are.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
What time are you looking for? A row at twelve pm?
We do not have a twelve pm available. The closest
we have to that is a one fifteen. Do you
have anything between ten am and twelve pm? Depending on
what service she would like? What service is she looking for?
(30:09):
Just a woman's haircut for now? Okay, we have a
ten o'clock ten am is fine. Okay, what's your first name?
The first name is Lisa. Okay, perfect, So I will
see Lisa at ten o'clock on May third.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Okay, great, thanks, great, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Back twenty fifteen, we can assume the quote unquote executive
assistant job that we all were familiar with. We either
were one or we had someone working for me in
that capacity, those jobs are gone.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, you're right, it was eight years ago, but still
but still Okay. Yeah, that's where all this is going.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
When we talked about universal basic income, because politically it
is not a popular idea, but realistically it is coming
because well always talking about well unemployments going up with
there are fewer jobs. There are literally fewer positions available
that need people. And going back to what Mark Ronner
(31:13):
has always argued and I've talked about with him, corporate
greed is about diminishing.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Expenses.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
If they can do the job without you and not
have to worry about your payroll, your vacation, your lawsuits,
they're gonna get rid of you.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I actually forgot all about this.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Three weeks ago, it was revealed through The Independent and
various websites that in Australia there is a radio station
that secretly replaced its afternoon hosts with an AI host,
and they did this for six months months before they
(31:53):
revealed that it was AI, and listeners were shocked. They
had literally no idea that the host was not there,
that the host just lended her voice to this AI program.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
But basically Max headroom.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Basically, I know it's a scary thing to hear for
us in this room, but but but this was going
on in six months as a beta test.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
We're all eminently replaceable. And I'm not talking about just radio.
I'm talking about whatever job that you're doing right now.
If they haven't figured out technology to replace you, just
keep on living. They'll eventually get around to you. K
