Speaker 1 (00:22):
Damp im six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
We're live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. And I
was wearing this light shirt today, thinking like we got
a little more of summer. It's not white. It's after
Labor Day, but the shirt's not white. And then I
saw the news that a torrential downpour is headed our way.
(00:45):
Fifty chance of rain. I'm told by none other than
the Mark.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, Mo, there's a very good chance you could get
moist tonight. Hey, hey, hey, in your stylish white polo shirt.
Well you got to bring my polo shit. You brought
it up. I didn't even notice it. I just thought
that maybe you were wearing a bib or something. I
had no idea.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So what's this about? Fifty percent chance of rain? You
can't even chase this suck?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, all right, Well tonight there's a we've got a
fifty percent chance, and it's gonna lessen as the days pass,
So by the time we get to what is today Wednesday,
by Friday, it's down to thirty I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't want the prospect of rain ruining, or least
impacting my weekend or your shirt.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's a nice shirt. It's quicksilver.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
No, I'm sure it's fine somehow, and people can see
it if they tune in on the live feed on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Good evening to Walla. See what you walked into? Shame
you've been.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You've been in the studio four seconds and you can
see how Mark Ronner is just off to a horrible start.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Well, I'm just here to support, that's all. I yeah,
like a chockstrap. Hey no, no, I don't want any
contact with that stuff. As you do the show, but
naked in the newsroom, I am fully clothed for the
most part.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, beyond the weather, there's a lot of serious news
we have to get to tonight. Did you hear about
how La County has approved a rent relief program for
those impacted by the wildfires? And and immigration rates. That's
what we have to talk about for a moment. And
also did you hear about how Southern California airports, as
much as we may dislike them, in the big picture,
(02:36):
they rank among America's best, which is surprising to me.
Lax which is on the list? I don't see how,
but it is. We'll tell you about it. I would
rather get a root canal than go to LAX. Look,
I am intimately familiar with all things LAX, and I've
traveled the country and around the world. Lax is not
(02:57):
a good airport thematic, logistically, there's nothing good about it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I have spent the night at LAX and do not recommend.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We're going to talk about how we're I guess in
the minority in that regard. And seven eleven is back
in the news. Anybody want to guess why.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Anyone? They're superior roller hot dogs?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yes, yes, that too, the pizza, yes, yes, yes, keep
going with the the what.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
They call chicken or pigeon wings. I don't know what
those wings are, the rat legs.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Maybe that's probably part of the story, but I can't
confirm that. But they have another pair of robberies targeting
LA seven eleven. Man, So once again, once again, not
circle K, not AMPM, too much good stuff. No, no, no,
it's only seven eleven. And I was the one who
(03:52):
tried to warn you first till I keep telling you
do not take.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Your ass inside of seven eleven. Well, we'll see what
this story has to say.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, hopefully don't be died but I mean, come on, now,
you don't want to be wrong place, wrong time.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And the twenty twenty eight Olympics, when we say that
they're going to be here, before you know it, they
are kind of here because starting soon next year, you'll
be able to purchase tickets to the various events. I
don't know if I'm going, but I'm still thinking about it.
I want to go, but I don't know if there's
anything like I feel like I need to go to
because the takewe though is not as good as it
(04:26):
used to be decades ago.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's a different brand. The boxing is not as good.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I'm talking about just how our country emphasizes the sports.
You're not seeing future champions like we used to with
American boxers.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And you know that all of the gymnastic those tickets
are going to go quick.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And track and field, and then they flip the events
where track and field is going to be in the
first week as opposed to the second week. So that
is going to be a different feel to the Olympics.
We'll talk about that later on. And we have to
talk about I would say the biggest news story of
the day the news that Jimmy Kimmel Live. The show
(05:06):
has been suspended indefinitely by ABC, and we're going to
get into that and the role of next Star, how
Nexttar owns about I don't maybe two dozen ABC affiliates,
and how the sec chair figures all into this. It's
not just what Jimmy Kimmel said. It's the other ancillary
(05:28):
things around Jimmy Kimmel, which probably had more to do
with the suspension than actually what Jimmy Kimmel said.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But we'll get into that in the third hour.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know how we talk about cruises, There was a
major fight aboard.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
A Royal Caribbean ship.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
If you thought it was just relegated to Carnival, guess
not moving on up to Royal Caribbean Twalla.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I don't know if we can stand for that. I
don't like this. I don't like that this is happening
on Royal Caribbean. I don't like the idea of fighting
when there's a major cruise happening next year that we're
supposed to all be aboard.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
This.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Here's a serious point I do want to make, and
I made this point on KTLA last week, and people
got mad because I didn't say what they wanted me
to say about Charlie Kirk. So I need you to
pay attention to what I want to say. In my
remarks on KTLA. I said that we are violent as
a nation in every facet of our society. And since
we are violent and every facet of our society, any
(06:24):
aspect of our society is also going to be violent,
be it politics, be it cruise excursions, be it schools.
So it really doesn't matter. It's not surprising to me
that once again there's another facet of violence in American society.
This is just more of who we are now, the
(06:47):
depths of violence that the extent of the violence may vary.
We're not talking about a school shooting, but by and large,
we are a violent nation, and it plays out.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You know what I just thought about it. There was
a fight of bore the cruise ship that we were
on late at night. I was coming back to the
room and it was a small, small skirmish between two
guys and they were over near where they were giving
out those delicious slices of free pizza, the place that's
open like damn near Falliver, and they got the biscuits
and just whatever you want all night that I thought
(07:18):
you had to pay for that stuff. And then I
think maybe one of your sons was like, no, dude,
that's free. You just go and get it whenever you want.
There was a fight right there, but then the uh
and I didn't I've never seen I hadn't seen them
and I didn't know they existed. But cruise security they
descended on that section. It was right across from where
the bar, the sports bar was. It was right there,
(07:41):
like kind of in the middle, just two guys that
were drunk and a bunch.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Of people trying to break it out. But yeah, but yeah,
there was a fight. We got to talk about all
those things and cruising as well. Tonight it's Later with
mo Keller. When we come back, we're going to give
you some La County news as far as Rench relief
for those impacted by the wildfires and immigration rates.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
KFI.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Mister Kelly is Later with mo Kelly live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And people are still dealing with the
aftermath of the fires. I know Tuala not to tell
all your business, but I know you are still. I
know other people close to me are still, and they're
also the immigration rays, which are impacting people on various
(08:35):
levels in different ways. In response to that, the La
County Board of Supervisors yesterday unanimously approved the creation of
a about thirty million dollar emergency rent relief program to
assist people still dealing with either income loss or home
loss from the January wildfires and those financially affected by
(08:57):
the federal immigration enforcement actions. Kind of vague, but it's
inclusive of Now if you're wondering, like, where's this money
coming from, well, the Ella County Board of Supervisors had
previously established eviction protection measures and a rent relief program
that was already in the budget, and had identified some
(09:18):
ten million dollars to fund this effort. So it's not
like taking or asking for more money. It is money
that has already been set aside for things similar to this. Now,
how it's going to be received or how it's going
to be doled out, that's the situation where I.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Think people are going to be focusing most of their energy.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
The proposal would take the initial ten million dollar rent
relief allocation and split it between wildfire and immigration affected residents.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It also calls for the use of another.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Nine point eight million in Affordable Housing Trust Fund money
to be used mainly for immigration impacted residents. And I
only use this as a jumping off point to highlight
that people are still hurting, people are still struggling, people
are still dealing with the fires. We're talking about something
(10:11):
which happened in January. But I'm quite sure the hundreds
to if not thousands, of people who have been impacted,
who have been displaced, who have lost their home, who
have lost possibly both their home and their employer, depending
on where you were. There are a lot of businesses
which were lost to the fires. They have not been
made whole yet. And I mentioned that because I know
(10:34):
Twala you've been still going through it. Let me just
be general about this. From what you're seeing in your neighborhood.
How much is back, how many people are back, how
many people or what would you say are the percentage
of people who might still be struggling.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I mean the people that are back next to damn
near none. While a lot of homes have been cleared,
I have been seeing far far less reconstruction permits. Granted,
I mean nothing is going up. Most of Outsidata right now,
it looks like an urban jungle. And I mean that
(11:12):
literally because you have these once you know, standing home
structures and plots that are now just overgrown and overrun
with vines and bushes and plants that are just grown up.
I mean, it looks like it's crazy scary up there.
You've got wolves, You've got bears that are walking around,
you know, Christmas Tree Lane. It is literally crazy up there.
(11:35):
And I can tell you for a fact, every single
one of those homers who have not started even cracked,
you know, ground on rebuilding, they're still struggling.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Everyone I know who has lost their home.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
They're still Struggling's still trying to figure out how they're
gonna make it because a lot of people did not
have the insurance policies to carry them through and waiting
on some of these lawsuits two and three years from now,
Who's who was Who's able to survive?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Just talking about Alta Dina is their power? Is their gas?
Is there water?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
In other words, for people who want to move back in,
who maybe have a structure or something of a house there,
could they move back here?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of about even you know, the
water is good. You can shower in it, you can
you know, drink it if you have a filter refrigerator.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
All that.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You know, they've cleared the ground of all the toxins allegedly,
we may not know, you know, I mean twenty five
years ago. Dance people who start sewing or whatever. Yeah,
actually come on back to Altadena. Yeah, the ground is
clear and the nick we got lead poison. Who knows,
but I would say that, yes, you absolutely, if you
had a standing structure, you could return home, if you've
(12:49):
gotten through the process of maybe getting it clean, getting
it fixed up.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
All that.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
There's a lot of people who are still struggling to
even get those things done. You know, there are people
trying to figure out, like am I just gonna rent
a mobile home? Which I have seen a few. I
have seen a few people who have rented trailers and
just just put it a lot and they're just out there,
and you know, so you drive around sometimes at night. Man,
ghost town doesn't begin to describe it, because it's not
(13:16):
a town. It's just plot after plot after plot, shambles
of a plot. Plot plot plot. Hey, there's a mobile
home plot plot plot, plot, plot, plot, plot plot, and
so forth.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And so on.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Are there street lights? In other words, can you see
or is it basically very dangerous to It's very very dark,
and there are street lights on a lot of the
main streets. So like say, you know, if I was
going up far Oaks or Lake Street or out to
you and drive, there are still a lot of street lights,
but there's a lot of area where there just aren't.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It is dark up there, and I mean dark dark.
You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I was up there not long ago, and there's a
concert at the Rose Bowl Oasis maybe was performing, right,
I think they were there and up and out to
NIF where I'm at, I could hear them clearly. I'm like,
it sounds like someone is next door having a party,
and I'm like, who is in the looking in between?
(14:12):
Nothing in between, nothing stopping that sound from just carrying
all the way up into the hills.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Something will continue to follow.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's later with mo Kelly got to tell you about
the airports, the good and the bad and the la Ones,
which was supposed to be pretty damn spectacular. I don't
know if I agree with it, but we'll tell you
about some of the best airports in America and Southern
California is well represented.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
KFI Later with mo Kelly Live everywhere on YouTube and
the iHeartRadio app. And I've been back now from vacation
about two two and a half weeks, and the hardest
part of vacation for me is always the flight. The
travel that makes it unbearable, especially when you're coming home
and there's nothing to look forward to.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You just want to get home.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I am very sensitive to airports, how they're laid out,
trying to catch a connection. You know, is it logical
as far as how it's laid out, Do you have
to get on a tram to go from one side
of the airport to the other.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
All those things matter.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So when I saw this JD Power twenty twenty five
study of the best airports relative to customer satisfaction, that's important.
Twenty twenty five study based on thirty thousand, four hundred
and thirty nine completed surveys from US or Canadian residents
who traveled through at least one US or Canadian airport,
(16:01):
and it covers both departure and arrival experiences, including connecting airports.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This is what it came down to, is not.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There are a bunch of lists, so I can't do
all the lists, but I can tell you, excuse me,
some of the highlights on the various lists. And the
different lists are by size of airport, and they also
ranked the airports based on their size. The different categories
are Mega, large, and medium. Mega airports are those with
(16:32):
thirty three million or more passengers per year, Large airports
ten to thirty two point nine million passengers per year,
and medium airports with four point five to nine point
nine million passengers per year. As far as California John
Wayne Airport, second straight year, it's ranked number one as
(16:56):
far as satisfied customers for large airport ten to thirty
two point nine million. I've only flown in and out
of John Wayne, I want to say once or twice.
It's probably great if you can get the flight that
you want to go there, or if it makes sense
to you, like Burbank. Burbank is a great little airport.
It's considered medium size, but if you get the chance
(17:19):
to fly in or out of Burbank, especially if you
work in Burbank, it's great for that. But there are
not a lot of flights and you're most likely going
to have to connect. And those are some of the
other things which go to my level of dissatisfaction where
it's like, well and and the flights cost more usually
because Burbank is not one of those destinations where a
lot of carriers are going to be flying into. But
(17:42):
speaking of Burbank, Burbank did make the list and it
is ninth in the medium size category. So Hollywood Burbank
Airport came in ninth. Oakland International Airport came in twenty
first in law large airport category, and we told you
(18:03):
that John Wayne came in first in that category. San
Diego International Airport came in fifteenth in large airports. San
Jose International came in twelfth in large airports. So California
is well represented, especially in the large airport category. Sacramento
International Airport eleventh in a large category.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But here's the thing I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Lax, and we're talking about customer satisfaction, came in fifteenth
in the mega category. I hope that there are only
fifteen airports in the Mega category because there's nothing satisfying
about Lax not trying to get in it, not trying
to get out, not trying to get around it. Let's
say like, for example, you land at LAX, there's a
(18:52):
good chance unless you're going to pay eighty to ninety
dollars at the minimum, if you're trying to get to
ride share, you have to walk your happy ass down
to somewhere past Terminal one, you know, where we can
catch an uber and lyft. And that's not either convenient
or even practical. Oftentimes, if you have four or five
(19:13):
bags and you have to walk literally a half a
mile just to get to ride share, what customer is
satisfied about that?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Just the driving and dropping someone off now, and all
the construction that's there, the way the lots are, it's
it's a nightmare for that. Forget about trying to get
a ride out of there. Just driving to drop someone
off at LAX is a major hassle.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And and talking about dropping someone off at l EX,
I know it's in process, but you still cannot get
directly to the airport from public transportation. And it's like
they'll drop you off near you can catch a shuttle.
You know you're you're close by, I think the people
or something. You know you're close, but it's not. And
(20:00):
if you go to any other major city, they have
the subway which takes you directly to the airport. We
don't have that yet, and eventually, when we have it,
it'll be better and maybe we'll be higher on the list.
But you can't tell me that there are airports in
the Mega category which are worse than LAX and that
(20:20):
not be a consideration. That's the thing for me and LAX.
I don't live far from LAX, which is good for
me personally. And if you know some of the tips
and tricks of where you can drive in the back
way to avoid some of that traffic coming off the
four or five, yeah, that helps. But as far as
the airport itself, it's very small, and the city and
(20:41):
county of Los Angeles have outgrown that particular airport. I
know they try to remodel it and update it, but
still for a city as big as LA and just
go to the other major cities, LAX is tiny, tiny
in comparison, And with that you have all this excessive
(21:02):
traffic which is trying to get in that horseshoe in
and out and don't miss your airport terminal and then
have to go all the way back around.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You just lost another forty five minutes out of your
life right there.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That is why I say dropping someone off is horrible
as what happened to me last time.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I always say, if you're gonna drop someone off, take
them to arrivals and drop them off there.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Don't try to drop them off on departures. That's a
good hack. No, I'm being serious. Yeah, that's the way
to do it. Just drop them off at arrivals.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
You'll have less traffic trying to get specifically to the
terminal you want, and all they're gonna do is just
take the escalator up to the departure level.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That is a fantastic hack. No, wow, wow, never thought
of that, Mark.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I can't speak for any airport in Washington, the state
of Washington.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Does Seattle or Spokane rank anywhere with you? Seatack is
not not horrible. Spokane is too small even to count
for anything. But I haven't slept there. I've slept at O'Hare.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I've loved that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I've slept at Lax. I'm trying to think of the
other ones. Oh Hair slept horrible. Oh yeah, you talk
about running to catch a flight. Oh hair is the
worst for that.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
SFO was really bad because I had to run to
catch a flag just to get back into LA from
my vacation. And their terminals are nowhere close to each other.
They're just really really spread out.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You know, the worst shape you're in, the more chance
you have of having a heart attack to get you
to your next flight, because you've got some especially if
you're carrying a bag and invariably the first flight and
you're in your two flight connection is going to be late.
It's a nightmare. I hate flying now. Flying has gotten
so much worse in our adult life.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Could you think back to the time pre nine to
eleven where you could walk all the way up to
the gate and greet whoever was flying in, or you
have your whole family at the gate waiting to send
you off.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It was not a big deal.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah, you had magnetometers, but you weren't taken off shoes,
you weren't taken off.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Bell It was just a completely different.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
You could genuinely show up at the airport twenty minutes
before your flight, check your bag yep, and still make
your flight.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, we can't have nice things, can we? Never? Again?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I mean, you know, I'm not gonna blame nine to
eleven on us, but you know it's support and overturn
will never go back to that pre nine to eleven world.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, that's been a real slippery slope. I will avoid
flying at all costs now. And I used to not
really mind it at all. And I used to really
be fond of Virgin which doesn't I think exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I think it doesn't exist domestically. You can fly Virgin
Atlantic internationally, right.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I took so many flights between Seattle and la It
was just an enjoyable experience. But now just like one
little nasty thing at a time to the plan where no,
I'll stay home, I'll have a conference call or a
Skype or something, anything to avoid getting on a plane,
especially at LAX.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I've long been a fan of the Burbank Airport. Yes,
I've known that hack and used it, and I have
mixed feelings about telling everybody about it on the air.
As well as your hack about going to the arrival
gate when you're dropping off for departures or vice versa,
whatever whatever works for you at the time. That those
are good hacks, but they're not enough, especially have you noticed,
(24:32):
you know, since the beginning of the year and the
new FAA head has taken over. There have been so
many incidents with airlines. I don't feel quite as cool
about the safety of it as I use.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Who are you telling? Okay, I'm one of those folks.
I fly because I have to, not because I like to,
not because I want to.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
There's an old Sean Connery movie called Cuba that opens
up with him on a plane about to take off
and he's like holding the icy cocktail up against his
forehead because he's so stressed.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
And that's me every time I get on a plane. Now, Yeah,
I don't like it. And you think as you get older,
you just get more comfortable with it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Nope, not me.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Not me, And and it's never stopped me from getting
on a plane, but it's something that I'm always very
uncomfortable with.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Right And add to that the fact that so much
is a bottle of water and a sandwich is gonna
you're gonna have to take out a student loan for
it if you get it at the airport. There's nothing
good about the experience anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It makes me nostalgic for the time before we were born,
when like men would wear sport coats and hats. Yes,
they dress up to fly and they'd like bring a
nice meal under underglass out to your chair on the
plane with real silverware and everything.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah, the old Madmen era of flight sounds magnificent to
me now. And then you realize the planes were like
one tenth is safe isn't what they are now? Well,
if you want to throw in that little detail, I
guess that does detract from it just a little bit.
But focus on the mini skirts bum right and the
stewardess is as they were called back then. When we
(26:03):
come back, speaking of safety, let's talk about seven to
eleven and the two robberies which just happened.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six FORTYFI.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
We're live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app and LAPD is investigating
two different seven to eleven robberies within two miles of
each other. Happened real early this morning. The first one
happened in around four thirty am the seventeen hundred block
of Slawson Avenue, and it was said that the suspects,
(26:46):
three men and a woman, fled the scene in a
black Kia Optima. They were dressed in all black and
wearing masks. Entered the store and stole smoking products in
addition to two cash register they stole the whole register
to probably just see if they can open them later.
(27:06):
They were not able to disclose exactly how much merchandise
or money was taken. In Just a few minutes later,
police responded to another robbery at a seven eleven on
South Figaroa near fifty fourth Street in the same area,
and they found that this incident may have actually occurred first,
but wasn't reported till about forty minutes later. Long story
short is seven eleven was targeted again.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, but that's seven eleven's in l A. See the
one that I stopped by on what I'm leaving here
right over here on Hollywood Way.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
This is Burbank. Bourbank is nice and safe.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, sos in Sino until they have the follow home
robberies and the burglaryes.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, this is kind of like the uh MO perpetual
argument about the poop in the water at the beach,
Like where's where's the cutoff?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
At this point, it's not an isolated incident, and to
your point, mark. If people are targeting seven to eleven,
I don't believe they're targeting seven eleven in just la proper.
I think if any seven eleven is a target. And
we talked about this before, I think if you've ever
been in a seven eleven, the cash register and the
(28:17):
counter is usually an open area.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
This open air area where you can reach your hand over.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's not like most gas station places where it's alexa
and glass and the attendant is behind some sort of
barrier where you know you can ask for the money
all you want.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
All they're going to do is reach out to the
counter and pull out the shotgun.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Yeah, because the seven eleven that I go to, my
favorite seven eleven right over here in Burmin, there's literary
space where you like a couple of times, you may
think that that's where you go to walk to get
the coffee, but you find yourself right next to the casher,
right next to and you're like, oh my bad, and
you have to go back around the little display that
they've got set up, and I'm like, you guys should
really make this more clear that this is where.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
The cash here is, not where the coffee is.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I think it's just too easy access, and for someone
who's looking to get a few hundred bucks or whatever
it is, they think it's in the register, it's a
lot easier to threaten and get that money when there's
no physical barrier there. Now, this actually kind of connects
to our conversation about going into convenience stores and how
(29:22):
everything is behind glass or is in sort of locked cabinet. Well, yeah,
this is similar to that, and it makes it easier
to commit these robberies because everything's available.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now the one here in Burbank. And
the reason I think I like this one a lot
is because oftentimes there are police cars in the parking lot.
So by the time I'm going, you know, our fine
officers of Burbank PD, they want some coffee late at night,
they want some chips and dips or whatever they're going
in there to get.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
But they're there.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
When I see them there, that is when I'll bust
a hell of a u turn and go and get
some coffee, just so I'm like, oh, it's safe at night.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Look, if they're gonna rob this seven eleven, damn it,
let it be while Burbank PAD is right there eating.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yes, the seven eleven sushi, whatever it is that they're
there for. That's when I'm stopped.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Please don't please tell me you've never eaten the seven
eleven sushi. They have that, yes they have. I don't
think so they do, mark they do.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
It's not it's not like maybe you know in uh
in Japan or career wherever it is, where the seven
elevens are Chieshi la fufu.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But it's seven eleven sushi. I wouldn't try that on
it there. No no, no, no no no no no
no no no. Here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
It's just you can get the California roll. It's just
it's got like avocado right here. Yeah, stuff like that.
I wouldn't buy seven eleven sushi that has crab or fish,
even though if you go early enough you can't get
the one with the crab.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
You can get it's like fate crab meat. Not that
I go on seven eleventh. I don't think it's real
crabby rab with a K the crab pace. You're not wrong, yes, can't.
I am six forty My life everywhere in the ieartradio
Speaker 5 (31:10):
App KSY and k O S t h D two,
Los Angeles, Orange County more stimulating talk,
Damp im six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
We're live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. And I
was wearing this light shirt today, thinking like we got
a little more of summer. It's not white. It's after
Labor Day, but the shirt's not white. And then I
saw the news that a torrential downpour is headed our way.
(00:45):
Fifty chance of rain. I'm told by none other than
the Mark.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, Mo, there's a very good chance you could get
moist tonight. Hey, hey, hey, in your stylish white polo shirt.
Well you got to bring my polo shit. You brought
it up. I didn't even notice it. I just thought
that maybe you were wearing a bib or something. I
had no idea.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So what's this about? Fifty percent chance of rain? You
can't even chase this suck?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, all right, Well tonight there's a we've got a
fifty percent chance, and it's gonna lessen as the days pass,
So by the time we get to what is today Wednesday,
by Friday, it's down to thirty I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't want the prospect of rain ruining, or least
impacting my weekend or your shirt.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's a nice shirt. It's quicksilver.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
No, I'm sure it's fine somehow, and people can see
it if they tune in on the live feed on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Good evening to Walla. See what you walked into? Shame
you've been.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You've been in the studio four seconds and you can
see how Mark Ronner is just off to a horrible start.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Well, I'm just here to support, that's all. I yeah,
like a chockstrap. Hey no, no, I don't want any
contact with that stuff. As you do the show, but
naked in the newsroom, I am fully clothed for the
most part.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, beyond the weather, there's a lot of serious news
we have to get to tonight. Did you hear about
how La County has approved a rent relief program for
those impacted by the wildfires? And and immigration rates. That's
what we have to talk about for a moment. And
also did you hear about how Southern California airports, as
much as we may dislike them, in the big picture,
(02:36):
they rank among America's best, which is surprising to me.
Lax which is on the list? I don't see how,
but it is. We'll tell you about it. I would
rather get a root canal than go to LAX. Look,
I am intimately familiar with all things LAX, and I've
traveled the country and around the world. Lax is not
(02:57):
a good airport thematic, logistically, there's nothing good about it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I have spent the night at LAX and do not recommend.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We're going to talk about how we're I guess in
the minority in that regard. And seven eleven is back
in the news. Anybody want to guess why.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Anyone? They're superior roller hot dogs?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yes, yes, that too, the pizza, yes, yes, yes, keep
going with the the what.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
They call chicken or pigeon wings. I don't know what
those wings are, the rat legs.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Maybe that's probably part of the story, but I can't
confirm that. But they have another pair of robberies targeting
LA seven eleven. Man, So once again, once again, not
circle K, not AMPM, too much good stuff. No, no, no,
it's only seven eleven. And I was the one who
(03:52):
tried to warn you first till I keep telling you
do not take.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Your ass inside of seven eleven. Well, we'll see what
this story has to say.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, hopefully don't be died but I mean, come on, now,
you don't want to be wrong place, wrong time.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And the twenty twenty eight Olympics, when we say that
they're going to be here, before you know it, they
are kind of here because starting soon next year, you'll
be able to purchase tickets to the various events. I
don't know if I'm going, but I'm still thinking about it.
I want to go, but I don't know if there's
anything like I feel like I need to go to
because the takewe though is not as good as it
(04:26):
used to be decades ago.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's a different brand. The boxing is not as good.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I'm talking about just how our country emphasizes the sports.
You're not seeing future champions like we used to with
American boxers.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And you know that all of the gymnastic those tickets
are going to go quick.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And track and field, and then they flip the events
where track and field is going to be in the
first week as opposed to the second week. So that
is going to be a different feel to the Olympics.
We'll talk about that later on. And we have to
talk about I would say the biggest news story of
the day the news that Jimmy Kimmel Live. The show
(05:06):
has been suspended indefinitely by ABC, and we're going to
get into that and the role of next Star, how
Nexttar owns about I don't maybe two dozen ABC affiliates,
and how the sec chair figures all into this. It's
not just what Jimmy Kimmel said. It's the other ancillary
(05:28):
things around Jimmy Kimmel, which probably had more to do
with the suspension than actually what Jimmy Kimmel said.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But we'll get into that in the third hour.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know how we talk about cruises, There was a
major fight aboard.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
A Royal Caribbean ship.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
If you thought it was just relegated to Carnival, guess
not moving on up to Royal Caribbean Twalla.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I don't know if we can stand for that. I
don't like this. I don't like that this is happening
on Royal Caribbean. I don't like the idea of fighting
when there's a major cruise happening next year that we're
supposed to all be aboard.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
This.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Here's a serious point I do want to make, and
I made this point on KTLA last week, and people
got mad because I didn't say what they wanted me
to say about Charlie Kirk. So I need you to
pay attention to what I want to say. In my
remarks on KTLA. I said that we are violent as
a nation in every facet of our society. And since
we are violent and every facet of our society, any
(06:24):
aspect of our society is also going to be violent,
be it politics, be it cruise excursions, be it schools.
So it really doesn't matter. It's not surprising to me
that once again there's another facet of violence in American society.
This is just more of who we are now, the
(06:47):
depths of violence that the extent of the violence may vary.
We're not talking about a school shooting, but by and large,
we are a violent nation, and it plays out.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You know what I just thought about it. There was
a fight of bore the cruise ship that we were
on late at night. I was coming back to the
room and it was a small, small skirmish between two
guys and they were over near where they were giving
out those delicious slices of free pizza, the place that's
open like damn near Falliver, and they got the biscuits
and just whatever you want all night that I thought
(07:18):
you had to pay for that stuff. And then I
think maybe one of your sons was like, no, dude,
that's free. You just go and get it whenever you want.
There was a fight right there, but then the uh
and I didn't I've never seen I hadn't seen them
and I didn't know they existed. But cruise security they
descended on that section. It was right across from where
the bar, the sports bar was. It was right there,
(07:41):
like kind of in the middle, just two guys that
were drunk and a bunch.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Of people trying to break it out. But yeah, but yeah,
there was a fight. We got to talk about all
those things and cruising as well. Tonight it's Later with
mo Keller. When we come back, we're going to give
you some La County news as far as Rench relief
for those impacted by the wildfires and immigration rates.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
KFI.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Mister Kelly is Later with mo Kelly live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And people are still dealing with the
aftermath of the fires. I know Tuala not to tell
all your business, but I know you are still. I
know other people close to me are still, and they're
also the immigration rays, which are impacting people on various
(08:35):
levels in different ways. In response to that, the La
County Board of Supervisors yesterday unanimously approved the creation of
a about thirty million dollar emergency rent relief program to
assist people still dealing with either income loss or home
loss from the January wildfires and those financially affected by
(08:57):
the federal immigration enforcement actions. Kind of vague, but it's
inclusive of Now if you're wondering, like, where's this money
coming from, well, the Ella County Board of Supervisors had
previously established eviction protection measures and a rent relief program
that was already in the budget, and had identified some
(09:18):
ten million dollars to fund this effort. So it's not
like taking or asking for more money. It is money
that has already been set aside for things similar to this. Now,
how it's going to be received or how it's going
to be doled out, that's the situation where I.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Think people are going to be focusing most of their energy.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
The proposal would take the initial ten million dollar rent
relief allocation and split it between wildfire and immigration affected residents.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It also calls for the use of another.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Nine point eight million in Affordable Housing Trust Fund money
to be used mainly for immigration impacted residents. And I
only use this as a jumping off point to highlight
that people are still hurting, people are still struggling, people
are still dealing with the fires. We're talking about something
(10:11):
which happened in January. But I'm quite sure the hundreds
to if not thousands, of people who have been impacted,
who have been displaced, who have lost their home, who
have lost possibly both their home and their employer, depending
on where you were. There are a lot of businesses
which were lost to the fires. They have not been
made whole yet. And I mentioned that because I know
(10:34):
Twala you've been still going through it. Let me just
be general about this. From what you're seeing in your neighborhood.
How much is back, how many people are back, how
many people or what would you say are the percentage
of people who might still be struggling.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I mean the people that are back next to damn
near none. While a lot of homes have been cleared,
I have been seeing far far less reconstruction permits. Granted,
I mean nothing is going up. Most of Outsidata right now,
it looks like an urban jungle. And I mean that
(11:12):
literally because you have these once you know, standing home
structures and plots that are now just overgrown and overrun
with vines and bushes and plants that are just grown up.
I mean, it looks like it's crazy scary up there.
You've got wolves, You've got bears that are walking around,
you know, Christmas Tree Lane. It is literally crazy up there.
(11:35):
And I can tell you for a fact, every single
one of those homers who have not started even cracked,
you know, ground on rebuilding, they're still struggling.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Everyone I know who has lost their home.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
They're still Struggling's still trying to figure out how they're
gonna make it because a lot of people did not
have the insurance policies to carry them through and waiting
on some of these lawsuits two and three years from now,
Who's who was Who's able to survive?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Just talking about Alta Dina is their power? Is their gas?
Is there water?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
In other words, for people who want to move back in,
who maybe have a structure or something of a house there,
could they move back here?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of about even you know, the
water is good. You can shower in it, you can
you know, drink it if you have a filter refrigerator.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
All that.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You know, they've cleared the ground of all the toxins allegedly,
we may not know, you know, I mean twenty five
years ago. Dance people who start sewing or whatever. Yeah,
actually come on back to Altadena. Yeah, the ground is
clear and the nick we got lead poison. Who knows,
but I would say that, yes, you absolutely, if you
had a standing structure, you could return home, if you've
(12:49):
gotten through the process of maybe getting it clean, getting
it fixed up.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
All that.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
There's a lot of people who are still struggling to
even get those things done. You know, there are people
trying to figure out, like am I just gonna rent
a mobile home? Which I have seen a few. I
have seen a few people who have rented trailers and
just just put it a lot and they're just out there,
and you know, so you drive around sometimes at night. Man,
ghost town doesn't begin to describe it, because it's not
(13:16):
a town. It's just plot after plot after plot, shambles
of a plot. Plot plot plot. Hey, there's a mobile
home plot plot plot, plot, plot, plot, plot plot, and
so forth.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And so on.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Are there street lights? In other words, can you see
or is it basically very dangerous to It's very very dark,
and there are street lights on a lot of the
main streets. So like say, you know, if I was
going up far Oaks or Lake Street or out to
you and drive, there are still a lot of street lights,
but there's a lot of area where there just aren't.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It is dark up there, and I mean dark dark.
You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I was up there not long ago, and there's a
concert at the Rose Bowl Oasis maybe was performing, right,
I think they were there and up and out to
NIF where I'm at, I could hear them clearly. I'm like,
it sounds like someone is next door having a party,
and I'm like, who is in the looking in between?
(14:12):
Nothing in between, nothing stopping that sound from just carrying
all the way up into the hills.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Something will continue to follow.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's later with mo Kelly got to tell you about
the airports, the good and the bad and the la Ones,
which was supposed to be pretty damn spectacular. I don't
know if I agree with it, but we'll tell you
about some of the best airports in America and Southern
California is well represented.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
KFI Later with mo Kelly Live everywhere on YouTube and
the iHeartRadio app. And I've been back now from vacation
about two two and a half weeks, and the hardest
part of vacation for me is always the flight. The
travel that makes it unbearable, especially when you're coming home
and there's nothing to look forward to.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You just want to get home.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I am very sensitive to airports, how they're laid out,
trying to catch a connection. You know, is it logical
as far as how it's laid out, Do you have
to get on a tram to go from one side
of the airport to the other.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
All those things matter.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So when I saw this JD Power twenty twenty five
study of the best airports relative to customer satisfaction, that's important.
Twenty twenty five study based on thirty thousand, four hundred
and thirty nine completed surveys from US or Canadian residents
who traveled through at least one US or Canadian airport,
(16:01):
and it covers both departure and arrival experiences, including connecting airports.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This is what it came down to, is not.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There are a bunch of lists, so I can't do
all the lists, but I can tell you, excuse me,
some of the highlights on the various lists. And the
different lists are by size of airport, and they also
ranked the airports based on their size. The different categories
are Mega, large, and medium. Mega airports are those with
(16:32):
thirty three million or more passengers per year, Large airports
ten to thirty two point nine million passengers per year,
and medium airports with four point five to nine point
nine million passengers per year. As far as California John
Wayne Airport, second straight year, it's ranked number one as
(16:56):
far as satisfied customers for large airport ten to thirty
two point nine million. I've only flown in and out
of John Wayne, I want to say once or twice.
It's probably great if you can get the flight that
you want to go there, or if it makes sense
to you, like Burbank. Burbank is a great little airport.
It's considered medium size, but if you get the chance
(17:19):
to fly in or out of Burbank, especially if you
work in Burbank, it's great for that. But there are
not a lot of flights and you're most likely going
to have to connect. And those are some of the
other things which go to my level of dissatisfaction where
it's like, well and and the flights cost more usually
because Burbank is not one of those destinations where a
lot of carriers are going to be flying into. But
(17:42):
speaking of Burbank, Burbank did make the list and it
is ninth in the medium size category. So Hollywood Burbank
Airport came in ninth. Oakland International Airport came in twenty
first in law large airport category, and we told you
(18:03):
that John Wayne came in first in that category. San
Diego International Airport came in fifteenth in large airports. San
Jose International came in twelfth in large airports. So California
is well represented, especially in the large airport category. Sacramento
International Airport eleventh in a large category.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But here's the thing I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Lax, and we're talking about customer satisfaction, came in fifteenth
in the mega category. I hope that there are only
fifteen airports in the Mega category because there's nothing satisfying
about Lax not trying to get in it, not trying
to get out, not trying to get around it. Let's
say like, for example, you land at LAX, there's a
(18:52):
good chance unless you're going to pay eighty to ninety
dollars at the minimum, if you're trying to get to
ride share, you have to walk your happy ass down
to somewhere past Terminal one, you know, where we can
catch an uber and lyft. And that's not either convenient
or even practical. Oftentimes, if you have four or five
(19:13):
bags and you have to walk literally a half a
mile just to get to ride share, what customer is
satisfied about that?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Just the driving and dropping someone off now, and all
the construction that's there, the way the lots are, it's
it's a nightmare for that. Forget about trying to get
a ride out of there. Just driving to drop someone
off at LAX is a major hassle.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And and talking about dropping someone off at l EX,
I know it's in process, but you still cannot get
directly to the airport from public transportation. And it's like
they'll drop you off near you can catch a shuttle.
You know you're you're close by, I think the people
or something. You know you're close, but it's not. And
(20:00):
if you go to any other major city, they have
the subway which takes you directly to the airport. We
don't have that yet, and eventually, when we have it,
it'll be better and maybe we'll be higher on the list.
But you can't tell me that there are airports in
the Mega category which are worse than LAX and that
(20:20):
not be a consideration. That's the thing for me and LAX.
I don't live far from LAX, which is good for
me personally. And if you know some of the tips
and tricks of where you can drive in the back
way to avoid some of that traffic coming off the
four or five, yeah, that helps. But as far as
the airport itself, it's very small, and the city and
(20:41):
county of Los Angeles have outgrown that particular airport. I
know they try to remodel it and update it, but
still for a city as big as LA and just
go to the other major cities, LAX is tiny, tiny
in comparison, And with that you have all this excessive
(21:02):
traffic which is trying to get in that horseshoe in
and out and don't miss your airport terminal and then
have to go all the way back around.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You just lost another forty five minutes out of your
life right there.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That is why I say dropping someone off is horrible
as what happened to me last time.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I always say, if you're gonna drop someone off, take
them to arrivals and drop them off there.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Don't try to drop them off on departures. That's a
good hack. No, I'm being serious. Yeah, that's the way
to do it. Just drop them off at arrivals.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
You'll have less traffic trying to get specifically to the
terminal you want, and all they're gonna do is just
take the escalator up to the departure level.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That is a fantastic hack. No, wow, wow, never thought
of that, Mark.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I can't speak for any airport in Washington, the state
of Washington.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Does Seattle or Spokane rank anywhere with you? Seatack is
not not horrible. Spokane is too small even to count
for anything. But I haven't slept there. I've slept at O'Hare.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I've loved that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I've slept at Lax. I'm trying to think of the
other ones. Oh Hair slept horrible. Oh yeah, you talk
about running to catch a flight. Oh hair is the
worst for that.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
SFO was really bad because I had to run to
catch a flag just to get back into LA from
my vacation. And their terminals are nowhere close to each other.
They're just really really spread out.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You know, the worst shape you're in, the more chance
you have of having a heart attack to get you
to your next flight, because you've got some especially if
you're carrying a bag and invariably the first flight and
you're in your two flight connection is going to be late.
It's a nightmare. I hate flying now. Flying has gotten
so much worse in our adult life.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Could you think back to the time pre nine to
eleven where you could walk all the way up to
the gate and greet whoever was flying in, or you
have your whole family at the gate waiting to send
you off.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It was not a big deal.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah, you had magnetometers, but you weren't taken off shoes,
you weren't taken off.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Bell It was just a completely different.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
You could genuinely show up at the airport twenty minutes
before your flight, check your bag yep, and still make
your flight.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, we can't have nice things, can we? Never? Again?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I mean, you know, I'm not gonna blame nine to
eleven on us, but you know it's support and overturn
will never go back to that pre nine to eleven world.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, that's been a real slippery slope. I will avoid
flying at all costs now. And I used to not
really mind it at all. And I used to really
be fond of Virgin which doesn't I think exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I think it doesn't exist domestically. You can fly Virgin
Atlantic internationally, right.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I took so many flights between Seattle and la It
was just an enjoyable experience. But now just like one
little nasty thing at a time to the plan where no,
I'll stay home, I'll have a conference call or a
Skype or something, anything to avoid getting on a plane,
especially at LAX.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I've long been a fan of the Burbank Airport. Yes,
I've known that hack and used it, and I have
mixed feelings about telling everybody about it on the air.
As well as your hack about going to the arrival
gate when you're dropping off for departures or vice versa,
whatever whatever works for you at the time. That those
are good hacks, but they're not enough, especially have you noticed,
(24:32):
you know, since the beginning of the year and the
new FAA head has taken over. There have been so
many incidents with airlines. I don't feel quite as cool
about the safety of it as I use.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Who are you telling? Okay, I'm one of those folks.
I fly because I have to, not because I like to,
not because I want to.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
There's an old Sean Connery movie called Cuba that opens
up with him on a plane about to take off
and he's like holding the icy cocktail up against his
forehead because he's so stressed.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
And that's me every time I get on a plane. Now, Yeah,
I don't like it. And you think as you get older,
you just get more comfortable with it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Nope, not me.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Not me, And and it's never stopped me from getting
on a plane, but it's something that I'm always very
uncomfortable with.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Right And add to that the fact that so much
is a bottle of water and a sandwich is gonna
you're gonna have to take out a student loan for
it if you get it at the airport. There's nothing
good about the experience anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It makes me nostalgic for the time before we were born,
when like men would wear sport coats and hats. Yes,
they dress up to fly and they'd like bring a
nice meal under underglass out to your chair on the
plane with real silverware and everything.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah, the old Madmen era of flight sounds magnificent to
me now. And then you realize the planes were like
one tenth is safe isn't what they are now? Well,
if you want to throw in that little detail, I
guess that does detract from it just a little bit.
But focus on the mini skirts bum right and the
stewardess is as they were called back then. When we
(26:03):
come back, speaking of safety, let's talk about seven to
eleven and the two robberies which just happened.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six FORTYFI.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
We're live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app and LAPD is investigating
two different seven to eleven robberies within two miles of
each other. Happened real early this morning. The first one
happened in around four thirty am the seventeen hundred block
of Slawson Avenue, and it was said that the suspects,
(26:46):
three men and a woman, fled the scene in a
black Kia Optima. They were dressed in all black and
wearing masks. Entered the store and stole smoking products in
addition to two cash register they stole the whole register
to probably just see if they can open them later.
(27:06):
They were not able to disclose exactly how much merchandise
or money was taken. In Just a few minutes later,
police responded to another robbery at a seven eleven on
South Figaroa near fifty fourth Street in the same area,
and they found that this incident may have actually occurred first,
but wasn't reported till about forty minutes later. Long story
short is seven eleven was targeted again.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, but that's seven eleven's in l A. See the
one that I stopped by on what I'm leaving here
right over here on Hollywood Way.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
This is Burbank. Bourbank is nice and safe.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, sos in Sino until they have the follow home
robberies and the burglaryes.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, this is kind of like the uh MO perpetual
argument about the poop in the water at the beach,
Like where's where's the cutoff?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
At this point, it's not an isolated incident, and to
your point, mark. If people are targeting seven to eleven,
I don't believe they're targeting seven eleven in just la proper.
I think if any seven eleven is a target. And
we talked about this before, I think if you've ever
been in a seven eleven, the cash register and the
(28:17):
counter is usually an open area.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
This open air area where you can reach your hand over.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's not like most gas station places where it's alexa
and glass and the attendant is behind some sort of
barrier where you know you can ask for the money
all you want.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
All they're going to do is reach out to the
counter and pull out the shotgun.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Yeah, because the seven eleven that I go to, my
favorite seven eleven right over here in Burmin, there's literary
space where you like a couple of times, you may
think that that's where you go to walk to get
the coffee, but you find yourself right next to the casher,
right next to and you're like, oh my bad, and
you have to go back around the little display that
they've got set up, and I'm like, you guys should
really make this more clear that this is where.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
The cash here is, not where the coffee is.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I think it's just too easy access, and for someone
who's looking to get a few hundred bucks or whatever
it is, they think it's in the register, it's a
lot easier to threaten and get that money when there's
no physical barrier there. Now, this actually kind of connects
to our conversation about going into convenience stores and how
(29:22):
everything is behind glass or is in sort of locked cabinet. Well, yeah,
this is similar to that, and it makes it easier
to commit these robberies because everything's available.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now the one here in Burbank. And
the reason I think I like this one a lot
is because oftentimes there are police cars in the parking lot.
So by the time I'm going, you know, our fine
officers of Burbank PD, they want some coffee late at night,
they want some chips and dips or whatever they're going
in there to get.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
But they're there.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
When I see them there, that is when I'll bust
a hell of a u turn and go and get
some coffee, just so I'm like, oh, it's safe at night.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Look, if they're gonna rob this seven eleven, damn it,
let it be while Burbank PAD is right there eating.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yes, the seven eleven sushi, whatever it is that they're
there for. That's when I'm stopped.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Please don't please tell me you've never eaten the seven
eleven sushi. They have that, yes they have. I don't
think so they do, mark they do.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
It's not it's not like maybe you know in uh
in Japan or career wherever it is, where the seven
elevens are Chieshi la fufu.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But it's seven eleven sushi. I wouldn't try that on
it there. No no, no, no no no no no
no no no. Here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
It's just you can get the California roll. It's just
it's got like avocado right here. Yeah, stuff like that.
I wouldn't buy seven eleven sushi that has crab or fish,
even though if you go early enough you can't get
the one with the crab.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
You can get it's like fate crab meat. Not that
I go on seven eleventh. I don't think it's real
crabby rab with a K the crab pace. You're not wrong, yes, can't.
