Speaker 1 (00:22):
Okay, if I am six forty, it's Later with mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we're live on.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
YouTube once again.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
If you didn't know, we have a video simulcast on
YouTube where you can go to YouTube right now if
you're not already subscribed, just look up mister mo Kelly,
m R M O K E L L Y and
you find us and the live broadcast and tonight it's
a very special night. I don't think Twala knows that
good evening, Twala. I don't think Mark Runner knows how
(00:52):
special tonight is.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm the last person to be told anything ever, because
you're unimportant.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And Stefan, I don't think no how special a night
tonight is.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Tonight is my thirteen year anniversary of being on air
here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
WOW, thirteen years ago. Tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Now, it didn't start with Later with mo Kelly, but
it started with the Little Saturday Show. When I say little,
because it was only two hours on Saturday night, just
Saturday Night, the mo Kelly Show, and it was from
six to eight pm, and it grew from Saturday to
Saturday and Sunday. It kind of bounced around, because there's
(01:40):
a time in between where we were broadcasting the Charger
games when they first came to LA and so we
got bumped around, jostled around kind of a sometimes five
to seven or seven to ten. But thirteen years ago tonight,
Oscar Ramirez was my producer and he is now the
(02:03):
assistant program director and operations manager. So if you're listening
right now or watching on YouTube, Oscar, thank you for
all that you've done for me over the years. Thank
you to Robin Berdaalucci, former boss and former program director.
Here who and here's a true story. I started working
at KFI Slash kt l K because it was I
(02:25):
was working for the whole cluster back in twenty eleven,
December of twenty eleven. Started working, I was a part
time producer. I was making barely above minimum wage. So
I don't want to hear from anyone talking about I
didn't pay my dues barely above minimum wage. And I
had a lunch with Robin Berda Lucci and she said, MO,
what is it you want to do?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Big picture?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, at that point, I had already produced for gim Rome,
I had already produced for Ryan Seacrest, already produced for
Tavis Smiley, and I was doing commentary written commentary for
a lot of outlets and I will also doing audio
commentary for BBC. And Robin said, what do you want
to do a big picture and I said, Robin, I
(03:06):
want my shot.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'd like to have a shot behind the mic.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And what happened was KTLK was in this transition period
ktlkam eleven fifty and she said, MO, why don't you
do some like quasi guest hosting. We'll have different co
hosts in each morning. We need someone to help train them.
You can get some time behind the microphone and you
would be on from nine to now nine am to noon,
(03:34):
five days a week for about a month. And it
helped me get my sea legs as a host, and
not only that, learn how to bring other people along.
And I tell people all the time, there's a growth
in this business. You don't just just start behind the mic.
For me, my growth was in writing. Then I started
(03:56):
doing interviews, then I started doing audio comment and terry.
Then you have to learn how to start a conversation
and lead a conversation and then do a show. And
it's a gradual process. And I tell people all the time,
and Toil has heard me say this. You might have
heard me say this. Everyone has one show in them
if you get to decide what you want to talk about.
Everybody has one show if you get to pick the topics.
(04:18):
But to become a host, you have to be adept
at dealing with the news right in front of you,
right in front of you, and it changes every day.
Sometimes there's plenty of good stuff to talk about. Other
days there's nothing really to talk about. You have to
find some way, somehow to make yourself interesting and possibly
entertaining seven minutes at a time, seven minutes at a time,
(04:39):
and hopefully after that first seven minutes that the audience
will stay for another seven minutes, or if they heard
enough of you that they like, they'll come back tomorrow
the next day. And I tell you, I refuse to
listen to my first show on CAFI.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I hated it. I will not go back and listen
to it. I refuse.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
But outside of that, I listen to everything that I
do because I always believe I can get better always,
and that's the only And there are a lot of
people email this to wallet in this business who refuse
to listen to themselves they don't want to hear themselves,
they don't like to sound on their voice, or they
don't want to what they call air check themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I always aircheck myself.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think, oh, I didn't set up that story well enough,
or I didn't tell that joke well enough. There are
things that I could have done better to get into
it quicker.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You can always be better.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And the reason why I know that I can always
be better because there's someone who's always half my age,
twice as hungry, willing to work for half the money,
who wants to sit in this exact same chair.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Why Because I used to be that person. You know.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I make a little bit more than minimum wage now,
but my approach and enthusiasm have not changed. I keep
telling folks I have the best job in the world
because I would have done it for free, and I've
done it in various forms for free. I am always
joyous and happy to be coming to work. I don't
(06:02):
know how many people can say that, and I'm not
saying that for effect or hyperbole.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It is the absolute truth.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
The worst part of my job every single day is
driving in that drive, that hour to hour and a
half drive, and I'm stuck in the car is the
worst part of my day.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
The second worst is dealing with that mother. Father. Mark
Ronner a.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Nice try. I'm one of these people you're talking about
who doesn't listen to himself. Though I reflect on what
I've done and I always take feedback, but I can't
stand listening to myself.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I never do it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I get it, but I know that I'm not going
to get better unless I do it. I know, and
there are plenty of people who I know who are
more naturally talented than me. There are plenty of better
broadcasters who naturally can do this thing.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
But I don't believe there's anyone who can outwork me.
And I might be wrong, but I don't think so. No, No,
your drive is impressive. I'll give you that. I'm extraordinarily lazy,
and the things that you'll get up in the morning
to do just leave my mouth hanging over.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I will work on a twenty four hour cycle. Twala.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know that you bore a literal twenty four hour cycle,
and I have to say thank you to you. I
thank Robin Bertoluci. You want to thank Neil Savedra. I
want to thank Tim Conway Junior, and also want to yes,
Mark Rodner, You're welcome. No, but I do want to
thank Tim Conway Junior, because Tim Conway Junior, if he's
listening right now, he was someone who came to our
(07:26):
very first remote. He is someone who has always supported
us every single step of the way, and people may
not know that he took it upon himself and he's
offered advice in this business, managing and just sort of
maneuvering in this business. Bill handled as well. He was
one of my earlier supporters. And actually Phil Hendry was
(07:48):
also another one of my supporters. Robin Bertolucci had reached
out to the on air staff and said, what do
you think about MO?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And Phil Hendry was one of the people who stepped up. Wow.
Not a lot of.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
People know that that's true story. And there's some talk
about the fullness of my radio career. Let me blow
your mind real quick, Mark Ronner. There are other radio
professionals who have had a disproportionate impact on i'd say
supporting me, some indirectly, some directly. Leo Terrell used to
(08:21):
be on KBC, the fair minded civil rights attorney you
seem more on Fox News now. When I was sending
out demo tapes of my mock show. He was one
of the few people who actually responded to me and said, hey,
you gotta do this. You got to do a little that.
Al Rantel also KBC there there are a lot of
people who help make me what I am today. I
(08:44):
talk to you to you about obviously Jim Rome and
Ryan Seacrest, Tabi Smiley, but there are other people who
went out of the way to offer some support, a
kind word, just anything, advice. And that's something you can't
really say about a lot of people. But I had
a lot of people who said, hey, I understand what
(09:06):
you're doing.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I appreciate what you're doing. Let me help you. That
counts and I never take anything like that for granted.
But I'll tell you this, Phil Hendry, I love him.
He's impressive and if you could get him on your side.
I told Phil Wuns in person that he was the
person single handedly responsible for making me incontinent from laughter.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I actually one of the first jobs I had. When
you start working at KFI as a producer, you do
what I call the tour of shows. You work as
a producer for all the shows you'll start on the weekend.
I started with Wayne Resnik and also Phil Hendry watching
him work. You talk about us an absolute genius. I
can't exactly describe what is going on in his head,
(09:47):
but to see that manifest itself in I don't want
to tell all his secrets of those who don't know
his show, but to see him work and to see
him play with the audience in that way again and
again and again, and those stupid mother fathers couldn't figure
it out.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, Krozier has a lot of experience with Henry too,
and I'm always asking him questions about that. Henry's a savant,
He's a genius. So I don't know, though, Mo. Before
you gone, you're literally forgetting I think one of the
most important people to think and that is yourself, because
I remember the beginning when you first started on this
(10:27):
journey and you invited me along. You said, Tea, we
are going to change the game. Your belief in yourself,
your belief that we could do it in front of
all of the obstacles that we faced air and off air,
like you, yourself have been your biggest cheerleader, and I
think that is also worthy of praise, because you have
(10:50):
kept the faith that we would get here, right here.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Where we are right now.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
There are three things that I live by professionally, and
I've said it in my public speeches, and I don't
think I've ever said it on the air, But since
this is the thirteenth anniversary of me being on KFI,
it's appropriate for this moment. Three things I live by
in everything I do. Number One, be humble. Yeah, I
talk a lot of mess on the radio, but I
don't think I'm the greatest anything anywhere at any time.
(11:17):
Be humble. Number two, be hungry. I don't think there's
anyone who can outwork me.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I just don't.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I don't think anyone is willing to put into much time, effort,
go through as much BS as me.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I don't think anyone can outwork me.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So be humble, be hungry, and lastly, and most importantly,
be a student of your craft. I wasn't classically trained
as a radio host. I wasn't classically trained as a journalist,
or as a writer, editorialist or a columnist.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I believe that if you're a student of your craft,
and you're humble, and you're willing to outwork anyone, you
can do anything. Thirteen years later, still swear by it.
It's Later with Bo Kelly. I AM six forty. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Mister Mokelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
You can go to YouTube dot com on your desktop
or the YouTube app on your phone and find us
at mister mo Kelly m R M O K E
L L Y. The video simulcast will be doing it.
I was just inform we're gonna be doing it all month,
all month long, so each and every show. Yes, Mark Runner,
(12:28):
you don't have to wear a tie every show, but
you might have to wash your behind.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
No. I thought today Walter Cronkite would have been so
much more credible as a newsman if you'd simply warnt
a black T shirt every night.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, if you say so. If you say so.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, I don't know if I agree with that, but
if you say so. But to be serious, yesterday we
told you how eaton Canyon Altadena. There were no rebuilding
permits which had been issued. Although Palisades they're well underway,
they're further down the road. No pun intended about rebuilding
(13:05):
that community. I had some issues. Other people had issues,
people obviously from the community Altadena had issues, and Catherine Barker,
supervisor Katheryn Barker, to her credit, spoke out said it
was unacceptable. And just after she spoke out, emotion was
passed to fast track the recovery process. And now they've
(13:28):
issued the first permit for Altadena homes affected by the
eating fire, and construction crews, as we told you, had
already started breaking ground on the Palisades. But that's not
what I want to talk about. But I'll reference it,
but that's not what I want to focus on. I'm
a firm believer of shaming the powerful.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I am a firm believer.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
If you know anything that I've done, either in my
print work or radio or television work, I'm a firm
believer of shaming politicians.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Why because I know that when you shame.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Politicians and get their attention, they are more responsive because
they don't want to be embarrassed in the media. They
don't want the depiction that they're not responsive to the
issues that we're talking about. I tell you about how
Metro responded to us because they were listening to what
we had to say each and every night about the
(14:23):
failings of Metro. I'm a firm believer of shaming the powerful,
shaming the politicians, shaming elected officials. It has its place
then the motivations to shape up or to get an action,
or to get things done. I don't care about that.
If Supervisor Barger was afraid, or i'll say, didn't want
(14:47):
to acknowledge the pressure that she was facing or the
negative reports that we were making, that's fine. I don't
need her to acknowledge what type of pressure she was under.
But I do know that politicians are responsive and sensitive
to being taken apart in the media.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Time and time again.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
How do I know, because for the most part, a
lot of elected officials won't come on the station. I
know that for a fact. Why, Because they do listen.
Why they do feel the weight of a station like KFI,
which is what we call a blowtorch in this industry.
They do know that when they're on the street, they're
(15:28):
asked questions by constituents because they've heard this or that
on KFI or other media, and then they have to
answer to that. You see what's going on in the
various town hall meetings around the United States regarding just
the economic situation here in America. That is a function
of media, be it radio, television, cable news. The amalgamation
(15:51):
of all that media puts pressure on elected officials and
shaming them has its place.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Why because it gets things.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
This is one of those examples, and Altadena Supervisor Katain
Barker said Habitat for Humanity essentially reused the original plans
to reconstruct the home, this first home burned by the
Eating fire. She praised the effort, but voiced her frustration
towards the laboring process that has been slow for many others.
I don't think it's a coincidence that yesterday there were zero,
(16:24):
now there's one, and the process is moving. I think
there's a connection here. I think that you can connect
those dots of those news reports and they are plentiful,
not just here but everywhere, complaining about the fact that
there were no rebuilding permits which had been issued and
now all of a sudden, and I do mean all
(16:44):
of a sudden, because we're talking about fewer than twenty
four hours, the process is moving.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Let me ask you, Twala, because you are directly connected
to this before we go to break.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Are you in any way encouraged?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I'm not happy.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
By one when I know of so many properties that
have been cleared. I know of actual homes that have
been cleared. There's six already on my block that have
been cleared. Why they have not when once a home
is cleared, to me, that means that they should immediately
receive a permit to start rebuilding. I don't know what
the lag is, especially because once the home is cleared,
(17:22):
the city turns that information and it should be within
twenty four hours. Boom, here's your permit to rebuild. There
are several sites I know of, not just on my block,
several sites I know that have been cleared. So why
do we just have one permit that's gone out that
needs to be answered for?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
If it's one today, yeah, okay, If there's one today
and there's twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Tomorrow, change yet we are on our way.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Okay, I suspect we're going to have something similar by tomorrow.
But if we don't, t you and I are going
to be right here doing what shaming the powerful, Shaming politicians,
shaming elected officials. Why because we know they'll respond to that.
It's Later with Mo Kelly, ca if I AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we have
(18:07):
a Wave Moo update and a Chick fil A update,
two of my favorite subjects.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You would sink wavebo Chick fil A. What does that
have to do anything? Can't wait?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Mister mo'kelly, he wounds us.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
This is autonomous vehicles. Might be on a ball.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Mo the Tuola.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Cools on Clinger tone under control, this is m Kelly
is wrong, but Mo thinks he's under payroll.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Fi, mister b Kelly, We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app and also on YouTube. I haven't seen the video
live stream simulcast. It's not too late. We're going to
be doing it all month. Yes, we're the only show
on KFI with a video simulcast.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just want to throw that out there. Coolest three hours
and all talk radio. But who's counting?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So go to YouTube follow at mister Kelly R M
O K E L L Y.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
You can join the show. It's interactive.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well how it pulls up every segment be answering your
questions on the comment section, just gonna have some fun.
And one of the subjects we always discuss here on
later with Mo Kelly is autonomous vehicles. And I said
that they are a menace, They're dangerous, they're not ready.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
For prime time.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
They're gonna bring about the ruination of civilization. And I
am not exaggerating a whole lot, but this is what
I do know. T Walla Sharp, the producer of the show,
has been reticent to admit how limited and dangerous my word,
these autonomous vehicles are. There are videos which are now popping.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Up all over all over the news and social media
showing a way Mo autonomous vehicle which is stalled out
in the middle of the drive through entrance of a
Chick fil A.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Happened around nine thirty pm and a Chick fil A on.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Lincoln Boulevard, and there were a number of videos from
would be consumers they can get to get their food
from what I read, and the videos show Chick fil
A workers standing around the stalled vehicles. So if vehicle singular,
if the Chick fil A workers are standing around the
stalled vehicle, that means they're not actually fixing any chicken,
(21:04):
or selling any chicken, or giving out any those waffle fries.
The autonomous vehicle, the Waimo vehicle had its hazard's lights on.
It would back up briefly and briskly, and then it
would stop again. From what bystanders said they saw, they
waited for more than a half hour of this before
being told the restaurant, which is drive through only, was
(21:28):
closed because this Weimo was in a drive through.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I have no idea why it was in a drive through.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's not like you get an autonomous vehicle and say, hey,
take me to Chick fil A. Now you're supposed to
go from a you know, wherever you are to an
actual destination. This way Mo shut down the restaurant. It
closed down the restaurant. So let me just ask this
simple question to all it. I just want a very
simple answer to a very simple question. How can I
(21:54):
trust a wey Mo with my life? If I can't
trust a Weaimo.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Through?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Why earthta?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
There is no reasoning or rationale for a Waymo to
be in a drive through line unless someone sent it there,
unless someone's Because that's what Waimo does not go into
drive throughs on its own way.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Waitstonomas, so clearly was there on its own No no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
They are not reporting that whether or not someone was
in the vehicle. All they're saying is the vehicle kept
backing up and was stalling.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
But if someone's in the vehicle, they're in the back seat,
not in the driver's seat. So whatever the car did,
the car did on its own way.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Mo's are to get you from point A to point B.
Wamos don't go into drive underground parking structures. They don't
go into drive parking lots.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
No, no, no, no no. I'm not making it confused.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Saying what I was in the backseat, and I'm saying
if some jackalobe some way mo shamer, shame on you
for shaming WAMO some way Moos was obviously drunk and
went on some Chick fil A bender and I got
it caught up in the drive through.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
The person in the back seat, who we can agree,
is not driving. Yes, the only thing that the person
in the backseat can do is order away mow and
then give it a destination.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Can we agree on that? Well, what I want to
know we can't agree on that.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
What I want to know is why you are not
bringing up stories of the driver who was drunk more
than two times the legal limit in a Taco Bell
drive through that literally had crashed and had stalled a
Taco Bell drive through. Why is that not also in
this story that's a person who was drunk.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
It's later with Mokelly. We're talking about waymore right now.
Stop trying to deflect.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
All I'm saying is can we deal with the news
which is right in front of us?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Like I talked about the top of the show, we
are we are trying to make sure that we are
being full in our coverage. We're not just going to
point a finger at one and not also look at
the guilty driver who was going the wrong way in
an army's drive through. Look, we can agree that there
are bad human drivers. What I'm trying to ascertain is
(24:13):
why are you trying to blame a human for the
feelings of an autonomous vehicle. It's autonomous. In other words,
humans didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Have anything to do.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Look, the weimo was not trying to order food. Weymos
don't eat. It's not self aware.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Your honor, May I treat as a hostile witness?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, you cannot, because there's a man in Florida. There
is a man in Florida who was drunk in a
Taco Bell drive through and was are he would not
leave the drive because that's Florida.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Is all right?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Order in the court here. There's a lot of what
aboutism going on here, Okay, goodness. I just want to
know who put the Weimo in the drive through. You
know what's interesting about this story is that this cannot
get now pointed out. The story does not put it out.
What about that other car? That story does not point
(25:03):
out how the Waymo got there?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Thank you very much? Can it?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Can you show me anywhere in this story that can
point out to how the WAYMO got into the drive through?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Line's okay. Either the Waymo got.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Confused in a computer sense it didn't know how to
navigate a parking lot, or it was directed there and
its dumb ass of a car computer couldn't figure out
how to navigate a slow.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Turnound was directed by a what Mo by a person.
It didn't do it on its own. It's only taking orders.
So how did it get there? Your answer to the
question is it got there because someone sent it there.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So clearly the Waimo was not ready for prime time.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
It was not ready to be able to handle a
Chick fil a drive You know what?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Neither is this lady who got drunk out of her
car and tried to climb in through a McDonald's drive
the window to a the personnel.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That worked there.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I will trust people in a Chick fil a drive
through before I will trust a woman. If it can't
handle a drive through, it can't handle the open road.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
MO.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
There's a teenager who in uh Stafford had a baby
gun in a drive through and was literally going through
and was shooting people with at the drive through?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
What about what he was? Young hooligans? What about them? Yeah?
And you know what, I'm not getting the car with her,
him or them either. Guess what, MO? The drive through
is a terrible place to be. Why are we blaming RAINMO?
Now it's the drive through? Okay, So we drained people.
We blamed people in Florida.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
We blame I don't know, other food established, drunking people,
people who are high. All of this, I all want
to ask you about the way MO would shut down
the Chick fil A. MO, I'm trying to ask you
about all these other establishments that have suffered because of people.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
See what I do with see what I need this
to get idea? What is happening here?

Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Let's talk a little bit about Barbie or should I
say Ken And I'm telling you right now, you can count.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You can count down on the clock.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
There's gonna be a tell boycott in three, in two,
in one. The moment that the wider society as in
wid er, I didn't say whiter, I said why dark wider,
why dah er gotcha society gets wind of this. Mattel,
(28:19):
the makers of Barbie, announced today that La Lakers superstar
Lebron James will be the first professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
To get his own Kendall in his likeness.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
James will become Mattel's first Kenbassador a word word in
a collaboration with the Lebron James Family Foundation, quote this
is Lebron James. As a young kid, I was fortunate
to have role models who not only inspired me, but
also showed me what's possible through hard work and dedication. Now,
(28:55):
as an adult, I understand how vital it is for
young people to have positive figures to look up to.
That's why partnering with Barbie to release the Lebron James
Ken Bastardor's Doll is such an honor. It's an opportunity
to recognize the powerful impact of role models who instill confidence,
inspire dreams, and show kids that they too can't achieve greatness.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Let me just put it this way. Can I be
honest with you?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Can I have an honest conversation with you right now
on KFI and also YouTube. If America I put that
in their quotes, If America can't handle a half Columbian
snow white, how in the hell is America air quotes
going to handle an all black can blowing Barbie's back out?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
I did not know that. That's why you were tonight.
Can is Barbie's boo right? Both?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh yeah, all right there their boyfriend and girlfriend, right yeah, okay,
So if Ken.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
To get through this, Ken.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Is now in the likeness of Lebron James and gets
all the rights and privileges of Ken. I don't know
if of America air quotes it's gonna be comfortable with
a six foot eight black man.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Let me just stop. Never mind, Look, I know I
am curious to know.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Then Lebron insists that his doll could not be smoothed out.
I don't know, because don't don't The Barbie dolls and
the Ken dolls have pretty much nothing downstairs. I mean
they're smooth. Doubt they said, it's just it's it's smooth.
It's not shavin is just smooth. But see that was
(30:52):
the classic version of Ken. That was the non Lebron,
non black version of Lebron. May say, nah uh, maybe
some modifications. Is what they said is in his likeness.
Now I don't know what he looks like down there like,
but in his likeness, it says that the doll not
only captures James style but also his height. It will
(31:16):
be one inch taller than the standard Kin doll and
come in a larger package.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That's what That's what they say. All inches matter.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That was for me, I was that was anticipatory all
I'm just saying there's going to be Look, I'm serious
that I'm not serious.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Here's a serious point.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
If people are mad still mad about snow White not
being completely European, let me put it that way. Because
Columbia is not in Europe. We can assume that there
will be similar pushback. And there's also the perception of
Lebron James and his political stances, his outspoken nature, what
(32:06):
he may have to say about various subjects, including Donald Trump.
So cue the boycott. Three two one. As soon as
everyone finds out, they're gonna run to their computer hashtag
boycott Mattel, and all the people who wear tactical glasses
(32:28):
to hide their eyes on social media will say that
they're boycotting Mattel and won't buy any more Barbie dolls
because they were buying a bunch of Barbie dolls before that,
I think, I mean seventy five dollars a pop though, Dang.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
What are they usually? What did you buy any for
your daughter? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yeah, I mean, like I think the most expensive one
hit like maybe fifty and that was a limited edition one.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well, this is a limited edition. It's Lebron James. You
got more, kin, It's a taller doll, I mean lots more.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I don't know if you can fit in the in
the in the corvette, but you know that stretch it out.
I just know the commercial of Lebron James and Barbie, didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
They have like a pool to.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, Lebron and Barbie and Jacuzzi get it on.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
They're definitely gonna need a bigger Barbie bed Rudburn Barbie.
Lebron's gonna be in there with Barbie. Say my name?
What's my name? Not Ken anymore. It's le Ken, It's Ken,
(33:47):
bron Clauding Cooper's gonna save us. Next second, it's the
top of the hours. We talk health and wellness and
hopefully not about this anymore. But I'm being serious.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
There will be a Matis boycott, at least on social
media before the night is through, because America, It's later
with Mokelly k if I am six forty left everywhere
in the iHeartRadio wapping YouTube.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
More informing, more engaging, more stimulating.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Kay f I and the kost HD two Los Angeles,
Orange
Speaker 2 (34:19):
County live everywhere on the Heart Radio
Okay, if I am six forty, it's Later with mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we're live on.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
YouTube once again.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
If you didn't know, we have a video simulcast on
YouTube where you can go to YouTube right now if
you're not already subscribed, just look up mister mo Kelly,
m R M O K E L L Y and
you find us and the live broadcast and tonight it's
a very special night. I don't think Twala knows that
good evening, Twala. I don't think Mark Runner knows how
(00:52):
special tonight is.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm the last person to be told anything ever, because
you're unimportant.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And Stefan, I don't think no how special a night
tonight is.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Tonight is my thirteen year anniversary of being on air
here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
WOW, thirteen years ago. Tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Now, it didn't start with Later with mo Kelly, but
it started with the Little Saturday Show. When I say little,
because it was only two hours on Saturday night, just
Saturday Night, the mo Kelly Show, and it was from
six to eight pm, and it grew from Saturday to
Saturday and Sunday. It kind of bounced around, because there's
(01:40):
a time in between where we were broadcasting the Charger
games when they first came to LA and so we
got bumped around, jostled around kind of a sometimes five
to seven or seven to ten. But thirteen years ago tonight,
Oscar Ramirez was my producer and he is now the
(02:03):
assistant program director and operations manager. So if you're listening
right now or watching on YouTube, Oscar, thank you for
all that you've done for me over the years. Thank
you to Robin Berdaalucci, former boss and former program director.
Here who and here's a true story. I started working
at KFI Slash kt l K because it was I
(02:25):
was working for the whole cluster back in twenty eleven,
December of twenty eleven. Started working, I was a part
time producer. I was making barely above minimum wage. So
I don't want to hear from anyone talking about I
didn't pay my dues barely above minimum wage. And I
had a lunch with Robin Berda Lucci and she said, MO,
what is it you want to do?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Big picture?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, at that point, I had already produced for gim Rome,
I had already produced for Ryan Seacrest, already produced for
Tavis Smiley, and I was doing commentary written commentary for
a lot of outlets and I will also doing audio
commentary for BBC. And Robin said, what do you want
to do a big picture and I said, Robin, I
(03:06):
want my shot.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'd like to have a shot behind the mic.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And what happened was KTLK was in this transition period
ktlkam eleven fifty and she said, MO, why don't you
do some like quasi guest hosting. We'll have different co
hosts in each morning. We need someone to help train them.
You can get some time behind the microphone and you
would be on from nine to now nine am to noon,
(03:34):
five days a week for about a month. And it
helped me get my sea legs as a host, and
not only that, learn how to bring other people along.
And I tell people all the time, there's a growth
in this business. You don't just just start behind the mic.
For me, my growth was in writing. Then I started
(03:56):
doing interviews, then I started doing audio comment and terry.
Then you have to learn how to start a conversation
and lead a conversation and then do a show. And
it's a gradual process. And I tell people all the time,
and Toil has heard me say this. You might have
heard me say this. Everyone has one show in them
if you get to decide what you want to talk about.
Everybody has one show if you get to pick the topics.
(04:18):
But to become a host, you have to be adept
at dealing with the news right in front of you,
right in front of you, and it changes every day.
Sometimes there's plenty of good stuff to talk about. Other
days there's nothing really to talk about. You have to
find some way, somehow to make yourself interesting and possibly
entertaining seven minutes at a time, seven minutes at a time,
(04:39):
and hopefully after that first seven minutes that the audience
will stay for another seven minutes, or if they heard
enough of you that they like, they'll come back tomorrow
the next day. And I tell you, I refuse to
listen to my first show on CAFI.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I hated it. I will not go back and listen
to it. I refuse.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
But outside of that, I listen to everything that I
do because I always believe I can get better always,
and that's the only And there are a lot of
people email this to wallet in this business who refuse
to listen to themselves they don't want to hear themselves,
they don't like to sound on their voice, or they
don't want to what they call air check themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I always aircheck myself.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think, oh, I didn't set up that story well enough,
or I didn't tell that joke well enough. There are
things that I could have done better to get into
it quicker.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You can always be better.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And the reason why I know that I can always
be better because there's someone who's always half my age,
twice as hungry, willing to work for half the money,
who wants to sit in this exact same chair.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Why Because I used to be that person. You know.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I make a little bit more than minimum wage now,
but my approach and enthusiasm have not changed. I keep
telling folks I have the best job in the world
because I would have done it for free, and I've
done it in various forms for free. I am always
joyous and happy to be coming to work. I don't
(06:02):
know how many people can say that, and I'm not
saying that for effect or hyperbole.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It is the absolute truth.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
The worst part of my job every single day is
driving in that drive, that hour to hour and a
half drive, and I'm stuck in the car is the
worst part of my day.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
The second worst is dealing with that mother. Father. Mark
Ronner a.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Nice try. I'm one of these people you're talking about
who doesn't listen to himself. Though I reflect on what
I've done and I always take feedback, but I can't
stand listening to myself.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I never do it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I get it, but I know that I'm not going
to get better unless I do it. I know, and
there are plenty of people who I know who are
more naturally talented than me. There are plenty of better
broadcasters who naturally can do this thing.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
But I don't believe there's anyone who can outwork me.
And I might be wrong, but I don't think so. No, No,
your drive is impressive. I'll give you that. I'm extraordinarily lazy,
and the things that you'll get up in the morning
to do just leave my mouth hanging over.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I will work on a twenty four hour cycle. Twala.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know that you bore a literal twenty four hour cycle,
and I have to say thank you to you. I
thank Robin Bertoluci. You want to thank Neil Savedra. I
want to thank Tim Conway Junior, and also want to yes,
Mark Rodner, You're welcome. No, but I do want to
thank Tim Conway Junior, because Tim Conway Junior, if he's
listening right now, he was someone who came to our
(07:26):
very first remote. He is someone who has always supported
us every single step of the way, and people may
not know that he took it upon himself and he's
offered advice in this business, managing and just sort of
maneuvering in this business. Bill handled as well. He was
one of my earlier supporters. And actually Phil Hendry was
(07:48):
also another one of my supporters. Robin Bertolucci had reached
out to the on air staff and said, what do
you think about MO?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And Phil Hendry was one of the people who stepped up. Wow.
Not a lot of.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
People know that that's true story. And there's some talk
about the fullness of my radio career. Let me blow
your mind real quick, Mark Ronner. There are other radio
professionals who have had a disproportionate impact on i'd say
supporting me, some indirectly, some directly. Leo Terrell used to
(08:21):
be on KBC, the fair minded civil rights attorney you
seem more on Fox News now. When I was sending
out demo tapes of my mock show. He was one
of the few people who actually responded to me and said, hey,
you gotta do this. You got to do a little that.
Al Rantel also KBC there there are a lot of
people who help make me what I am today. I
(08:44):
talk to you to you about obviously Jim Rome and
Ryan Seacrest, Tabi Smiley, but there are other people who
went out of the way to offer some support, a
kind word, just anything, advice. And that's something you can't
really say about a lot of people. But I had
a lot of people who said, hey, I understand what
(09:06):
you're doing.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I appreciate what you're doing. Let me help you. That
counts and I never take anything like that for granted.
But I'll tell you this, Phil Hendry, I love him.
He's impressive and if you could get him on your side.
I told Phil Wuns in person that he was the
person single handedly responsible for making me incontinent from laughter.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I actually one of the first jobs I had. When
you start working at KFI as a producer, you do
what I call the tour of shows. You work as
a producer for all the shows you'll start on the weekend.
I started with Wayne Resnik and also Phil Hendry watching
him work. You talk about us an absolute genius. I
can't exactly describe what is going on in his head,
(09:47):
but to see that manifest itself in I don't want
to tell all his secrets of those who don't know
his show, but to see him work and to see
him play with the audience in that way again and
again and again, and those stupid mother fathers couldn't figure
it out.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, Krozier has a lot of experience with Henry too,
and I'm always asking him questions about that. Henry's a savant,
He's a genius. So I don't know, though, Mo. Before
you gone, you're literally forgetting I think one of the
most important people to think and that is yourself, because
I remember the beginning when you first started on this
(10:27):
journey and you invited me along. You said, Tea, we
are going to change the game. Your belief in yourself,
your belief that we could do it in front of
all of the obstacles that we faced air and off air,
like you, yourself have been your biggest cheerleader, and I
think that is also worthy of praise, because you have
(10:50):
kept the faith that we would get here, right here.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Where we are right now.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
There are three things that I live by professionally, and
I've said it in my public speeches, and I don't
think I've ever said it on the air, But since
this is the thirteenth anniversary of me being on KFI,
it's appropriate for this moment. Three things I live by
in everything I do. Number One, be humble. Yeah, I
talk a lot of mess on the radio, but I
don't think I'm the greatest anything anywhere at any time.
(11:17):
Be humble. Number two, be hungry. I don't think there's
anyone who can outwork me.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I just don't.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I don't think anyone is willing to put into much time, effort,
go through as much BS as me.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I don't think anyone can outwork me.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So be humble, be hungry, and lastly, and most importantly,
be a student of your craft. I wasn't classically trained
as a radio host. I wasn't classically trained as a journalist,
or as a writer, editorialist or a columnist.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I believe that if you're a student of your craft,
and you're humble, and you're willing to outwork anyone, you
can do anything. Thirteen years later, still swear by it.
It's Later with Bo Kelly. I AM six forty. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Mister Mokelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
You can go to YouTube dot com on your desktop
or the YouTube app on your phone and find us
at mister mo Kelly m R M O K E
L L Y. The video simulcast will be doing it.
I was just inform we're gonna be doing it all month,
all month long, so each and every show. Yes, Mark Runner,
(12:28):
you don't have to wear a tie every show, but
you might have to wash your behind.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
No. I thought today Walter Cronkite would have been so
much more credible as a newsman if you'd simply warnt
a black T shirt every night.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, if you say so. If you say so.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, I don't know if I agree with that, but
if you say so. But to be serious, yesterday we
told you how eaton Canyon Altadena. There were no rebuilding
permits which had been issued. Although Palisades they're well underway,
they're further down the road. No pun intended about rebuilding
(13:05):
that community. I had some issues. Other people had issues,
people obviously from the community Altadena had issues, and Catherine Barker,
supervisor Katheryn Barker, to her credit, spoke out said it
was unacceptable. And just after she spoke out, emotion was
passed to fast track the recovery process. And now they've
(13:28):
issued the first permit for Altadena homes affected by the
eating fire, and construction crews, as we told you, had
already started breaking ground on the Palisades. But that's not
what I want to talk about. But I'll reference it,
but that's not what I want to focus on. I'm
a firm believer of shaming the powerful.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I am a firm believer.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
If you know anything that I've done, either in my
print work or radio or television work, I'm a firm
believer of shaming politicians.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Why because I know that when you shame.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Politicians and get their attention, they are more responsive because
they don't want to be embarrassed in the media. They
don't want the depiction that they're not responsive to the
issues that we're talking about. I tell you about how
Metro responded to us because they were listening to what
we had to say each and every night about the
(14:23):
failings of Metro. I'm a firm believer of shaming the powerful,
shaming the politicians, shaming elected officials. It has its place
then the motivations to shape up or to get an action,
or to get things done. I don't care about that.
If Supervisor Barger was afraid, or i'll say, didn't want
(14:47):
to acknowledge the pressure that she was facing or the
negative reports that we were making, that's fine. I don't
need her to acknowledge what type of pressure she was under.
But I do know that politicians are responsive and sensitive
to being taken apart in the media.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Time and time again.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
How do I know, because for the most part, a
lot of elected officials won't come on the station. I
know that for a fact. Why, Because they do listen.
Why they do feel the weight of a station like KFI,
which is what we call a blowtorch in this industry.
They do know that when they're on the street, they're
(15:28):
asked questions by constituents because they've heard this or that
on KFI or other media, and then they have to
answer to that. You see what's going on in the
various town hall meetings around the United States regarding just
the economic situation here in America. That is a function
of media, be it radio, television, cable news. The amalgamation
(15:51):
of all that media puts pressure on elected officials and
shaming them has its place.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Why because it gets things.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
This is one of those examples, and Altadena Supervisor Katain
Barker said Habitat for Humanity essentially reused the original plans
to reconstruct the home, this first home burned by the
Eating fire. She praised the effort, but voiced her frustration
towards the laboring process that has been slow for many others.
I don't think it's a coincidence that yesterday there were zero,
(16:24):
now there's one, and the process is moving. I think
there's a connection here. I think that you can connect
those dots of those news reports and they are plentiful,
not just here but everywhere, complaining about the fact that
there were no rebuilding permits which had been issued and
now all of a sudden, and I do mean all
(16:44):
of a sudden, because we're talking about fewer than twenty
four hours, the process is moving.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Let me ask you, Twala, because you are directly connected
to this before we go to break.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Are you in any way encouraged?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I'm not happy.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
By one when I know of so many properties that
have been cleared. I know of actual homes that have
been cleared. There's six already on my block that have
been cleared. Why they have not when once a home
is cleared, to me, that means that they should immediately
receive a permit to start rebuilding. I don't know what
the lag is, especially because once the home is cleared,
(17:22):
the city turns that information and it should be within
twenty four hours. Boom, here's your permit to rebuild. There
are several sites I know of, not just on my block,
several sites I know that have been cleared. So why
do we just have one permit that's gone out that
needs to be answered for?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
If it's one today, yeah, okay, If there's one today
and there's twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Tomorrow, change yet we are on our way.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Okay, I suspect we're going to have something similar by tomorrow.
But if we don't, t you and I are going
to be right here doing what shaming the powerful, Shaming politicians,
shaming elected officials. Why because we know they'll respond to that.
It's Later with Mo Kelly, ca if I AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we have
(18:07):
a Wave Moo update and a Chick fil A update,
two of my favorite subjects.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You would sink wavebo Chick fil A. What does that
have to do anything? Can't wait?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Mister mo'kelly, he wounds us.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
This is autonomous vehicles. Might be on a ball.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Mo the Tuola.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Cools on Clinger tone under control, this is m Kelly
is wrong, but Mo thinks he's under payroll.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Fi, mister b Kelly, We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app and also on YouTube. I haven't seen the video
live stream simulcast. It's not too late. We're going to
be doing it all month. Yes, we're the only show
on KFI with a video simulcast.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just want to throw that out there. Coolest three hours
and all talk radio. But who's counting?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So go to YouTube follow at mister Kelly R M
O K E L L Y.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
You can join the show. It's interactive.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well how it pulls up every segment be answering your
questions on the comment section, just gonna have some fun.
And one of the subjects we always discuss here on
later with Mo Kelly is autonomous vehicles. And I said
that they are a menace, They're dangerous, they're not ready.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
For prime time.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
They're gonna bring about the ruination of civilization. And I
am not exaggerating a whole lot, but this is what
I do know. T Walla Sharp, the producer of the show,
has been reticent to admit how limited and dangerous my word,
these autonomous vehicles are. There are videos which are now popping.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Up all over all over the news and social media
showing a way Mo autonomous vehicle which is stalled out
in the middle of the drive through entrance of a
Chick fil A.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Happened around nine thirty pm and a Chick fil A on.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Lincoln Boulevard, and there were a number of videos from
would be consumers they can get to get their food
from what I read, and the videos show Chick fil
A workers standing around the stalled vehicles. So if vehicle singular,
if the Chick fil A workers are standing around the
stalled vehicle, that means they're not actually fixing any chicken,
(21:04):
or selling any chicken, or giving out any those waffle fries.
The autonomous vehicle, the Waimo vehicle had its hazard's lights on.
It would back up briefly and briskly, and then it
would stop again. From what bystanders said they saw, they
waited for more than a half hour of this before
being told the restaurant, which is drive through only, was
(21:28):
closed because this Weimo was in a drive through.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I have no idea why it was in a drive through.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's not like you get an autonomous vehicle and say, hey,
take me to Chick fil A. Now you're supposed to
go from a you know, wherever you are to an
actual destination. This way Mo shut down the restaurant. It
closed down the restaurant. So let me just ask this
simple question to all it. I just want a very
simple answer to a very simple question. How can I
(21:54):
trust a wey Mo with my life? If I can't
trust a Weaimo.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Through?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Why earthta?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
There is no reasoning or rationale for a Waymo to
be in a drive through line unless someone sent it there,
unless someone's Because that's what Waimo does not go into
drive throughs on its own way.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Waitstonomas, so clearly was there on its own No no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
They are not reporting that whether or not someone was
in the vehicle. All they're saying is the vehicle kept
backing up and was stalling.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
But if someone's in the vehicle, they're in the back seat,
not in the driver's seat. So whatever the car did,
the car did on its own way.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Mo's are to get you from point A to point B.
Wamos don't go into drive underground parking structures. They don't
go into drive parking lots.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
No, no, no, no no. I'm not making it confused.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Saying what I was in the backseat, and I'm saying
if some jackalobe some way mo shamer, shame on you
for shaming WAMO some way Moos was obviously drunk and
went on some Chick fil A bender and I got
it caught up in the drive through.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
The person in the back seat, who we can agree,
is not driving. Yes, the only thing that the person
in the backseat can do is order away mow and
then give it a destination.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Can we agree on that? Well, what I want to
know we can't agree on that.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
What I want to know is why you are not
bringing up stories of the driver who was drunk more
than two times the legal limit in a Taco Bell
drive through that literally had crashed and had stalled a
Taco Bell drive through. Why is that not also in
this story that's a person who was drunk.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
It's later with Mokelly. We're talking about waymore right now.
Stop trying to deflect.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
All I'm saying is can we deal with the news
which is right in front of us?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Like I talked about the top of the show, we
are we are trying to make sure that we are
being full in our coverage. We're not just going to
point a finger at one and not also look at
the guilty driver who was going the wrong way in
an army's drive through. Look, we can agree that there
are bad human drivers. What I'm trying to ascertain is
(24:13):
why are you trying to blame a human for the
feelings of an autonomous vehicle. It's autonomous. In other words,
humans didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Have anything to do.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Look, the weimo was not trying to order food. Weymos
don't eat. It's not self aware.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Your honor, May I treat as a hostile witness?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, you cannot, because there's a man in Florida. There
is a man in Florida who was drunk in a
Taco Bell drive through and was are he would not
leave the drive because that's Florida.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Is all right?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Order in the court here. There's a lot of what
aboutism going on here, Okay, goodness. I just want to
know who put the Weimo in the drive through. You
know what's interesting about this story is that this cannot
get now pointed out. The story does not put it out.
What about that other car? That story does not point
(25:03):
out how the Waymo got there?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Thank you very much? Can it?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Can you show me anywhere in this story that can
point out to how the WAYMO got into the drive through?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Line's okay. Either the Waymo got.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Confused in a computer sense it didn't know how to
navigate a parking lot, or it was directed there and
its dumb ass of a car computer couldn't figure out
how to navigate a slow.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Turnound was directed by a what Mo by a person.
It didn't do it on its own. It's only taking orders.
So how did it get there? Your answer to the
question is it got there because someone sent it there.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So clearly the Waimo was not ready for prime time.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
It was not ready to be able to handle a
Chick fil a drive You know what?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Neither is this lady who got drunk out of her
car and tried to climb in through a McDonald's drive
the window to a the personnel.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That worked there.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I will trust people in a Chick fil a drive
through before I will trust a woman. If it can't
handle a drive through, it can't handle the open road.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
MO.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
There's a teenager who in uh Stafford had a baby
gun in a drive through and was literally going through
and was shooting people with at the drive through?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
What about what he was? Young hooligans? What about them? Yeah?
And you know what, I'm not getting the car with her,
him or them either. Guess what, MO? The drive through
is a terrible place to be. Why are we blaming RAINMO?
Now it's the drive through? Okay, So we drained people.
We blamed people in Florida.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
We blame I don't know, other food established, drunking people,
people who are high. All of this, I all want
to ask you about the way MO would shut down
the Chick fil A. MO, I'm trying to ask you
about all these other establishments that have suffered because of people.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
See what I do with see what I need this
to get idea? What is happening here?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
We're going to break That's what's happen because you filibustered
the whole fricking segment. This Later with mo Kelly k
IF I AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app and YouTube. Go to YouTube dot com or
YouTube app app. Mister Mokelly, we got the live stream going.
We have polls, we have interaction, we have dumb ass
comments that I'm gonna ignore all of that right now.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Hey, it's YouTube. What do you expect you're listening to?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Mister mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Here, we're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You can see the live video simulcast.
Speaker 1 (27:34):

and also Talla Sharp, who's producing the show.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Let's talk a little bit about Barbie or should I
say Ken And I'm telling you right now, you can count.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You can count down on the clock.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
There's gonna be a tell boycott in three, in two,
in one. The moment that the wider society as in
wid er, I didn't say whiter, I said why dark wider,
why dah er gotcha society gets wind of this. Mattel,
(28:19):
the makers of Barbie, announced today that La Lakers superstar
Lebron James will be the first professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
To get his own Kendall in his likeness.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
James will become Mattel's first Kenbassador a word word in
a collaboration with the Lebron James Family Foundation, quote this
is Lebron James. As a young kid, I was fortunate
to have role models who not only inspired me, but
also showed me what's possible through hard work and dedication. Now,
(28:55):
as an adult, I understand how vital it is for
young people to have positive figures to look up to.
That's why partnering with Barbie to release the Lebron James
Ken Bastardor's Doll is such an honor. It's an opportunity
to recognize the powerful impact of role models who instill confidence,
inspire dreams, and show kids that they too can't achieve greatness.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Let me just put it this way. Can I be
honest with you?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Can I have an honest conversation with you right now
on KFI and also YouTube. If America I put that
in their quotes, If America can't handle a half Columbian
snow white, how in the hell is America air quotes
going to handle an all black can blowing Barbie's back out?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
I did not know that. That's why you were tonight.
Can is Barbie's boo right? Both?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh yeah, all right there their boyfriend and girlfriend, right yeah, okay,
So if Ken.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
To get through this, Ken.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Is now in the likeness of Lebron James and gets
all the rights and privileges of Ken. I don't know
if of America air quotes it's gonna be comfortable with
a six foot eight black man.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Let me just stop. Never mind, Look, I know I
am curious to know.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Then Lebron insists that his doll could not be smoothed out.
I don't know, because don't don't The Barbie dolls and
the Ken dolls have pretty much nothing downstairs. I mean
they're smooth. Doubt they said, it's just it's it's smooth.
It's not shavin is just smooth. But see that was
(30:52):
the classic version of Ken. That was the non Lebron,
non black version of Lebron. May say, nah uh, maybe
some modifications. Is what they said is in his likeness.
Now I don't know what he looks like down there like,
but in his likeness, it says that the doll not
only captures James style but also his height. It will
(31:16):
be one inch taller than the standard Kin doll and
come in a larger package.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That's what That's what they say. All inches matter.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That was for me, I was that was anticipatory all
I'm just saying there's going to be Look, I'm serious
that I'm not serious.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Here's a serious point.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
If people are mad still mad about snow White not
being completely European, let me put it that way. Because
Columbia is not in Europe. We can assume that there
will be similar pushback. And there's also the perception of
Lebron James and his political stances, his outspoken nature, what
(32:06):
he may have to say about various subjects, including Donald Trump.
So cue the boycott. Three two one. As soon as
everyone finds out, they're gonna run to their computer hashtag
boycott Mattel, and all the people who wear tactical glasses
(32:28):
to hide their eyes on social media will say that
they're boycotting Mattel and won't buy any more Barbie dolls
because they were buying a bunch of Barbie dolls before that,
I think, I mean seventy five dollars a pop though, Dang.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
What are they usually? What did you buy any for
your daughter? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yeah, I mean, like I think the most expensive one
hit like maybe fifty and that was a limited edition one.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well, this is a limited edition. It's Lebron James. You
got more, kin, It's a taller doll, I mean lots more.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I don't know if you can fit in the in
the in the corvette, but you know that stretch it out.
I just know the commercial of Lebron James and Barbie, didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
They have like a pool to.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, Lebron and Barbie and Jacuzzi get it on.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
They're definitely gonna need a bigger Barbie bed Rudburn Barbie.
Lebron's gonna be in there with Barbie. Say my name?
What's my name? Not Ken anymore. It's le Ken, It's Ken,
(33:47):
bron Clauding Cooper's gonna save us. Next second, it's the
top of the hours. We talk health and wellness and
hopefully not about this anymore. But I'm being serious.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
There will be a Matis boycott, at least on social
media before the night is through, because America, It's later
with Mokelly k if I am six forty left everywhere
