Speaker 1 (00:22):
Kf I M six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You know what, I
thought I was going to talk about one thing, and
then all of a sudden, some Metro news broke.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I remember more standing right across from me, Windsloy bite lost.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I remember an old man.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Next to me, me Y.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Just in case you're riding Metro today and think you
are going to be home at a decent hour. No,
and I mean Metro train, I mean Metro buses, because
the buses are now helping out the trains because there
is a Metro train derailment where downtown basically fing up
(01:26):
the whole.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Metro train and bus line.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Kind of appropriate, It is kind of appropriate if you're
going to mess up, go big, go real big well.
Metro has been reporting significant delays, and you know, if
they reported the significant delays, it's probably worse to that.
But significant delays on two train lines today due to
a train derailment downtown northbound a line train derailed around
(01:51):
three pm at the Seventh Street Metro Center station and
after experiencing a minor incident, which they don't say specifically.
Quote the Los Angeles Police and fire departments assisted in
safely evacuating all passengers back to the platform.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It was not clear how many passengers.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No one was hurt, no injuries were reported, but the
delays kind of like ripples cascaded out to all the
train lines because if you know anything about Metro Center,
everything is there at Metro Center, and if you are
throwing off one or two of the lines and you
have to take those people off the track and then
(02:30):
put them on buses, it is completely disrupting everything. So
if you are on Metro right now, you're probably still
on Metro and you probably won't get home before what
time is it now, it's seven nine, Yeah, you won't
get home before Thursday. So just go ahead and sit back,
enjoy the ride, and just wait and eventually you get
(02:50):
home before the week is out. That is La Metro.
We have some poop beach warnings. You know, people are
still going to the beach as summer is almost a
few over, but people still go to the beach. The
weather it's still gorgeous and the water is still dangerous.
We'll tell you about that next segment. And we have
a California DMV update. Imagine that. Have you ever had
(03:12):
a personalized license plate. I have the vanity plates, and
you have to go through this process where you have
to let them know what the license plate is that
you want, and then two things will happen. One, if
it's available, they'll say, okay, Two, it's not available, get
to choose something out else.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
But even if it's available, there is a review process.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A review process like you just can't say Mark Ronner's
kiss his ass or something in seven letters. Okay, you
can't say that. You're not allowed to do that. Thank god,
the sensors probably won't allow it. I said, probably not definitely,
but but I'm gonna when we get to it at
the bottom of the hour, I am going to give
to Daniel, our video technical director, a picture of an
(04:00):
Elon Musk esque license plate that I saw just a
few weeks ago, and I was thinking, like, how the
hell did that get past the DMV sensors. So it's
really really arbitrary. But at the bottom of the hour,
I'm going to tell you about a woman who lost
her vanity plate. In other words, she had it for years,
but it was her own name. You think, how could
(04:22):
that happen? We'll tell you about that at the bottom
of the hour. And we've told you about the silly
things and dangerous things that people may have been doing
on TikTok. Were going to go out to Orange County.
And when I was growing up, we used to play
ding Dong ditch. When I was growing up, we used
to toilet paper people's houses. You can't do that anymore.
(04:43):
It's very dangerous. I don't mean like dangerous in a
kind of dangerous way. I mean very dangerous as in
your taking your life into your own hands. We'll talk
about that. And Chris Woolsey's back. Not only is he
going to talk to us about all things movies and
the watch free plus app with Visio, but he he's
bringing some trees.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I think he's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I think he just feels guilty for not coming to
see us all that often lately because he's been so busy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And then he's gonna bring us some food.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
So when I hear he's gonna feed everybody, there's only
one way to make this right, and that is with
those chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't know what he's bringing.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I don't know. He might be bringing those chocolate schoop cookies,
those are very good, you know me. I can't turn
down chocolate chip cookies. No, No, those were world class.
I like those and judging by the quantity of them
that I ate.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You would be both.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, hopefully. Oh and we have a special gift. Hey, twala,
let me know. Are we giving away these tickets tonight
and we're just gonna talk about it? What did he say?
He says he's gonna talk about it. Okay, Well, we're
gonna talk about your upcoming chance to win at some
point in the future. Tickets to see the Temptations and
the Four Tops, all right at the Soritos Center.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yes, yes, sugar Pie, honey Bunch, you know what.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And Poliocheti's here tonight. I hope he's not bringing food
as well, because if he does, he might have to
get past Chris Woolsey and you know, we'll have just
a food fight out in the hallway.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
We'll find a way to deal with it. Bring as
much as you want, Okay. I think Nick's here already
as well, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, he's here okay.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And you know, when I woke up today, you're dealing
with the normal news, and then there is the unexpected news.
I was really, really, and this is not often, but
I was really taken back, taken aback by the news
of the passing of Robert Redford. I was not ready
for that emotionally, because a few months ago we had heard,
if you were paying attention, that he said he was
(06:37):
going to retire from acting. That didn't say to me
that there were any pressing health issues. We just didn't
necessarily know. No one really knows except for him and
maybe his family members. But to get the news today
that he had died in his sleep, that was just
that rocked me that I wasn't ready for that. As
someone who follows movies and this love just about every
(06:59):
move he has ever been in.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I don't know if I have a favorite.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I have a few favorites, and without giving it away,
I know on Friday we will have name that movie
called classic just Robert Redford movies. We must, but don't.
I don't know if I can sit down on just
one favorite. There's just different performances. I mean, but Cassie
snass Kid, maybe you know it's up there, but that's
(07:27):
probably the correct ana.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
If I sat down and really started thinking about all
of them. I don't know if anyone would eclipse that one,
but that's the first one that comes to mind.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I think he chose carefully, but that's kind of the
popular favorite. He had a string of really good ones, and.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He's another one of those people I really would have
loved to have interviewed, never had the opportunity. Right after
Eddie Murphy. Why is Daniel laughing at everything? Why is
he laughing so loud? That's not funny. I'd see he
would never laugh at your expense because none of us would.
None of us would, Marcus Mockey. No, I respect you
too much for them. No, it's up there, definitely up there,
(08:05):
and it doesn't seem like I want to get either.
So it's all to say, Yeah, Eddi's still alive and
it still didn't gonna happen. Yeah, but we have to
talk about Robert Redford tonight, and we most definitely will
talk more about him on Friday. But I did want
to make mention of his passing and did want you
to think that we in any way were overlooking it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It hit me hard.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It was just one of those like Golly, he just
had no idea that that news might have been coming.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, it hit fifty one percent of our household very hard.
And I didn't want to have to be the one
to break it to her because I saw the news
before I went to bed, and I just I went
to bed quietly, didn't say anything. But the long suffering one,
let's just say she's a huge fan of Redford and
we're in a period of morning at my place.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I get it. I get it. I mean I didn't
see the news last night.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I went to bed, and it's like one of those
first news alert you get in the morning, and uh, yeah,
I was not ready for that at all.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But we'll talk about a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
When we come back to talk about the poop beaches
and just in case you want to go to the beach,
more fecal matter and bacteria everywhere. I am six forty
five everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. We're back
on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty That.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Maybe a person who loves to go to the beach
where you want to get your last bit of beaching
in before the weather begins to change, well, I gotta
warn you at least La County beaches. They're just as
horrible as ever. And I'm not saying it. I'm saying
the La County Department of Public Health is saying it.
And here are the latest warnings. And we love to
(09:37):
give you the warnings. These are the latest warnings and
they were issued because with me bacteria levels have exceeded
health standards. Here we go Avalon Beach at Catalina Island
one hundred feet west of the pier, and the swim
area west of Green Pleasure Pier. Just in case you're
happening to go to Catalina Island anytime soon, Mother's Beach
(10:01):
and Marina del Ray. The entire swim area is toxic
in a bacterial sense. Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica,
one hundred yards up and down the coast from the pier.
Leo Carrillo's State Beach in Malibu, one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the public restrooms. I have
(10:24):
no idea what the public restrooms are as opposed to
the private ones. So if you see public restrooms one
hundred yards up and down Pico Kinner Storm drain at
Santa Monica Beach near South Tower twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
If you know where that is, I sure as hell
do not.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
One hundred yards up and down the coast from the
storm drain, and an ocean water warning was lifted from
inner Cabrillo Beach in or Cabrillo, depending on how you
pronounce it. Let me just stop right there. When I
was growing up, it was pronounced both cabrillo and cabrio. Yes,
I know the Spanish pronunciation of cabrio, okay, but you know,
(11:03):
it's almost like saying the correct Spanish pronunciation is Los Angeles,
but we say Los Angeles. So growing up people were
saying cabrillo instead of cabrio. So whichever you should say,
Cabrillo beach Cabrio beach in San Pedro as opposed to
San Pedro.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
It's better.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now. Santa Monica officials, in collaboration with the Bay Foundation
in UCLA, they say they're taking steps to learn more
about how Santa Monica's beachwater affects water quality and the
surrounding environment. But have you noticed that every time we
give you a beach warning, Santa Monica Pier and Santa
Monica Beach are usually in there. So obviously there is
(11:44):
a connection. Hey, Mark, w was the last time you
were in a beach? Actually in beachwater? Ocean water? Childhood, childhood?
Maybe it's been a long time, Sam's and the sex doctor.
Who's the last time you're in ocean water? A few
months ago I went to Hawaii?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Oh, how was that?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Lovely? Is that the water's less poopy there? Significantly?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Was it like blue green? See the bottom?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah? You totally see your feet and everything. It's great.
Oh wow, how long were you there? I was there
for about four or five days with the kids. I've
never been to Hawaii, so oh yeah, no, you need
to go. I hear wonderful things about it, depending on
the island.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, of course, well no, And every time I've been
out there, I always come back.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I'm like, I am so moving out there, and I
never do.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's just one of those you know, unspoken fantasies that
just got spoken but never ever actually happens.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Isn't it more expensive than California? Yeah? Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And if you can make the money working remotely or
find job working on the island, then great. But yeah,
it's a or a buddy of mine. For example, I
went out there a few years ago, for his wedding,
and he moved out there with his wife, whose family
is from there.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Of all the places, I've never well, what we what
my wife and I should do is see if we
can hook up like a maybe fly into Japan, cruise
to Hawaii, and then fly back.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It's not bad, honestly, God, Japan is beautiful too. I
love it out there. But Hawaii is when you go,
you're going to forever. Fantasize about going back. Oh, that's
a that's a high bar. It's a high bar because
I've done some traveling. Hit up Maui, hit up Kawaii.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
If you love just pure nature beauty, all right, and
the high tourist areas is like Oahu or Oahu, Honolulu,
Maui for to an extent. But Maui it's because you know,
there's a lot of fun stuff to do, but it's
also pristine, beautiful. Okay, all right. That's one place I
have not been that I definitely want to go within
the United States. I think I've been everywhere I want
(13:51):
to go within the United States. I don't have any
desire to go to Alaska. I've had the opportunity to go.
I politely declined it would have been on business. I said, no,
thank you. It was like in April of a given year,
so the weather was going to be moderate. I still said, don't,
thank you. But I don't think there's anywhere else within
the United States Lower forty eight or anywhere else that
(14:12):
I have not been that I want to visit outside
of Hawaii. Yeah, no, it's worth it, highly recommended. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure I'm going to leave this earth without
having visited Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah. Yeah, I have on my resume too. Yeah, yeah,
I don't. I have no desire to go to Mississippi.
I've been to Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia. No, I'm
not going to Mississippi. I don't think I've been to Kentucky,
(14:46):
been to Tennessee, Nashville, Grand Old, Opry. That was good,
But that's about it. I've been to everywhere I want
to in the United States. I don't know if that's
true for Mark. I know he's been a traveling everywhere too.
I miss traveling. I haven't done any since COVID, and
we're dying to go someplace. Is there anywhere in the
continental United States or the lower forty eight that you'd
want to go.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Not really, I want to go back to the UK.
I went to school in Scotland for a year and
I loved it so much that I have fantasies about
retiring there someday. But let's not kid each other. Nobody's
going to be able to afford to retire. No, no, no, no, no, no,
it depends. I mean, the cost of living in Scotland
is probably less than the United States. I can just
fish for my food in lock Nest, that'll be great.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Well, you're the one who talked about retiring there, so
I assume you've already worked that out in the equation.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I haven't worked anything out. I got nothing. I'll drop
dead at this mic, so just prepare yourself for that moment.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yet, realistically, I'll probably spend the rest by night life
living in the US.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Depending.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
If I were to come into a lot of money,
then I would be an expat, probably in Spain, probably
because I would love to retire in Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Oh, you can buy essentially a castle in Spain for
what you could maybe get a garage for here.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Absolutely absolutely, But I can't do what I'm doing now there.
I mean technologically it's very easy to do. I'm just
saying they wouldn't allow me to. I'm not Rush Lumbaugh.
I just can't broadcast from the house. For the last
ten years of my career. You have said a true thing.
You are no Russian Lumba. I don't even know what
(16:23):
that meant. Let's talk about the DMV when we come back, Okay,
if I am six forty it's the Lady with moo Kelly.
We're going to talk about those personalized vanity plates, what
you need to do to get them, and just because
you get them doesn't mean that you get to keep them.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
JFI mister mo Kelly Milive on YouTube any iHeartRadio app.
And if you've ever had a personalized license plate of
vanity plate, you kind of know the process. It hasn't
really changed much over the past fifteen twenty years. You'll
this a website and go through the DMV and try
to put in your perspective plate including spaces, and if
(17:13):
it is available what you would like, they'll let you know, yes,
that is available, but it's not a guarantee that you
will be able to get that. If you want to
like to have a license plate of moke Kelly five,
you can see if it's in there and it's free,
that you can proceed with the process, and you can
choose a type of plate. If there's an environmental plate
(17:35):
or a special play where they have the old black
plates with the gold numbers in letters, or you have
it with the black plate and the white numbers in letters.
You can get to choose the plate, but it's not
a guarantee that you will get what you have requested,
even if available, because there is a sensor somewhere along
(17:55):
the line which will review the application and tell you
yay or nay.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And there is a woman by the name of Isis
Wharton and her license.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Plate that she's had since twenty twenty two is I
am isis no spaces in between. Iamis the DMV as
of right now because she Isis had already paid for
her DMV renewal and it was accepted. But then she
received a letter last week saying that her license plate
(18:30):
of I am isis supposedly violates States rules State rules
because it could be confused as being linked to the
terrorist group ISIS. Seriously, my friend Fatwa Smith had trouble too.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They didn't try Infidel no stop tell Dadiel to stop laughing.
But my point is.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
This has been ISIS her whole life. We haven't really
talked about ISIS as a terrorist group since maybe the
first Trump administration in Earnest Okay. For it to be
flagged now in twenty twenty five does seem odd. You
would think that in twenty twenty two, when she first
requested the plate, it more likely should have been shut
(19:22):
down then because the rules really haven't changed in the
past three years. We definitely haven't been talking about ISIS
in the past three years. And I know I've had
other friends who tried to get some things which were
clearly inappropriate to put on our license plate. They do
look at every request. But I was driving down the
(19:43):
street on one ten Freeway North. If you on YouTube
right now, you can see it. I was driving north
on the one tend and I'm almost downtown and this
tesla rolls by me with the license plate musk sucks SUX.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And I'm thinking, and this was prior to the story.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I'm thinking the same censors which said you can't have
I am isis and I'm not saying that Elon Musk
is a terrorist organization. I'm saying that censors for the
DMV have always been pretty damn uptight. I'm surprised that
they let Musk sucks go through. And I'm showing you
the actual license plate. Whoever owns it too bad, so
(20:22):
sad you wanted it, you drove it to publicly. I'm
going to show it publicly. But I was DWK on
a one ten and this was like maybe a month ago,
about maybe two weeks before I went on vacation and
a Tesla. That is like, it's obvious the point you're
trying to make. You bought the tesla. You don't want
people to think that you're pro Elon Musk. So you
got the license plate Musk sucks. You can't really have
(20:43):
it both ways, but only that. I would have never
done that because that makes your car stand out even more,
and I would think you're making it your car specifically
more of a target if you happen to be an
Elon Musk supporter.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, now you're really touching on something that occupies my mind,
which is I want my car to be nondescript and unmemorable,
just in case of anything.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'm in between. Yeah, I'm in between. You know, I'll
have a vanity plate.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
WHOA, what are you going?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Uh? What was on Samuel L. Jackson's wallet? No, No,
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Well.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Look I worked hard to get it. I was in
the d m V for quite a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Now, ergy B three zero nine.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I have to red.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Different hours.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Nine one three, ID, Sam, what were you gonna say? Uh?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, that's audio. Was about to put me to sleep.
Usually that's what happens when I hear that at the DMV.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I hate going to the d m V unless I
absolutely have to, and I usually have to end up
going to the d m V for re registration stuff.
My license is going to expire my birthday, so I
have to go down there to look at the chart
and prove that I can read some letters from fifteen
feet away something like that. I'll probably go down like
(22:10):
the week before and cheat and take a picture of
all the letters and memorize them. I mean, I don't
think I can go to jail for that, can I. Well,
at this point, anything's fair game.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I mean, you're true.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You could wind up in Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, criticize the wrong person.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
There must be someplace closer though, Well, there's always men
central jail gator gem.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Is that place closed or not? What's the final verdict
on that? I don't who can keep track. I heard
it was closed to let people go, then they say no, no, no,
to follow the injunction is still open. I lose track
of some of these stories.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Listen, bub The point is you just stay on the
straight and narrow and you're not going to have to
worry about it.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Well, it's not like my citizenship is going to change
between now and then. It could no, no, no, how
that I'm maybe perceived as a citizen they changed, but
the actual citizenship that's not going to change. Well, your
argument's not with me. I know, I know, Sam, it
can stay open and appeals court rules.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay, all right, so I was half right, not completely closed,
but they're trying to close it. But going back to
the story I am isis it's not clear whether she
will get her original license plate back. Me personally, I
think she should have it because you told her yes
for the past three years. The rules have not changed
(23:32):
and she's already paid. If you don't know you're paying
like an extra forty to sixty dollars. I don't know
what it is now for that vanity plate each year.
So unless you're going to I would say, look, you'd
have to refund me for all the previous years because
if it's if it's wrong now it was wrong, then
get something out of it for yourself. Best one I've
ever seen was one that just said poop. I'm surprised
(23:56):
that they allowed you allowed that person even get it.
The censors let it slip.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I was driving on the four oh five, you know,
the one on one four oh five transition, and the
car goes by me and I just see the license
plate poop.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
See it's so it's so inconsistent with what is considered
to be in poor taste or unacceptable or people may misinterpret. Yeah,
I don't think any license plate should have SUX on it.
I'm thinking like that would never slip through. And then
(24:29):
when you also put musk, when you make it very
specific and pointed, it may not happen again. But I'm
saying I'm surprised I never got through it all. What
are you gonna have a license plate saying musk sucks?
And this is where I agree with Mark. You are
asking for more attention than I think you really want.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
I really don't understand why you'd want to draw attention
to yourself with a personalized plate. And it reminds me
of a study done about people who wear loud underwear
versus people who just wear plane Underhere their distinct different
personality types. I'm not so sure that those are the
same things because of underwear license plates.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
For everybody to see the underwear is basically for you.
And maybe one other person is saying, do you live
your life, I'll live mine. I'm just saying I don't
know those things are comparable, that's all.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I'm just saying that people with who go out of
their way to be extroverts like that tend to be
just just empty d bags.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Okay, what about this? What if you meet in the middle,
what is it? If you have boring underwear and a
vanity plate, then you need counseling.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So what's the right answer.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Then you're saying, if you have a vanity plate and
loud underwear, there's a problem.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
If you have boring underwear and a vanity plate, that's
a problem.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
You're probably smarter, So if you have boring underwear, if
you don't feel the need to put on an ostentations
ostentatious display like that, you're probably you probably have your
stuff together a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You're pooped together a little bit more. Gosh, I feel attacked.
Let me check my underwear during the break. Wait, say
hold on, hurry, Sam, Let's go to the news. Now.
It's just basic black k if I AM six forty
Live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app. When we come back, we
want to tell you about the dangers of playing kids games,
(26:27):
or at least the ones that we played as kids
growing up.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Six. Ever we're live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
We were all once kids. Some of us grew up,
some of us did not grow up. But when we
were kids, most likely we found ourselves engaged in high jinks,
(27:04):
usually messing with adults, just being a pain in the ass.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
That's what kids do. I get it. I get it.
I used to be that kid.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I used to do a lot of pranks, some things
which would be frowned upon today without a doubt, some
things which were pretty dangerous even back in the day,
and some which were outright illegal, I will admit that.
But the things that we did there was no social media,
so it was just a function of us getting together
and doing it. We didn't get it offline, we didn't
(27:34):
get the idea from somewhere else. We came up with
the ideas on our own. And one of the games
that we would play ding Dong ditch. Go up to
someone's door, you bang on the door if they didn't
have a doorbell, not everyone had a doorbell back in
the day. Or you would ring the doorbell like five
or six times, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
ding thing and then wait for someone to open the door.
(27:57):
You would maybe be twenty steps away so they could
see you, and then you start running to see if
you can get them to chase you. But the whole
point was to get them out of bed or whatever
to open the door. It was silly, it was stupid,
but it was not likely to get you shot. These days,
it'll probably get you shot. A version of that, especially
(28:19):
in Orange County, is going around where people are kicking
people's doors to the point of even damaging them late
at night, and you can imagine if you kick on
the wrong person's door late at night to the point
of damaging it, you're probably gonna send the message, even
if it's just miscinterpreted that you're trying to break in
(28:40):
the house, and you might be met with a gun
and mark there was at least one kid who died
from this, right, I think somebody got shot in the back. Yeah,
this is something obviously in today's world you just can't do.
And Orange County residents are being alerted, not necessarily warned,
(29:02):
but alerted to be on the lookout or listed out.
Just be aware that they may be kids in your neighborhood,
young people who aren't necessarily trying to break into your house,
not necessarily trying to vandilize your house, but they may
kick on your door real, real hard, late at night,
and they're trying to let people know, to let their
kids know not to do it. All I know is
(29:25):
this is something I would do back in the nineteen eighties.
Would look. I would never recommend anyone doing it now.
But we did a lot of stuff back then because
neighborhoods were different. You didn't have or at least where
I lived, there wasn't the likelihood of someone coming out shooting.
Now times have.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Changed and the proliferation of guns wasn't nearly as insane
as it is now. And I'll tell you what cured
me of that. I did the same thing when I
was a kid. Somebody in the neighborhood must have had
it done to them once too often, because they strung
up a clothesline right at neck level. And after we
rang the bell and ran, I ran straight into that thing,
and you could I'm told that my feet came right
(30:06):
up to the level of my head and I had
to be carried away by my friends.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So it was an defective deterrent. That was the last
time I did it.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
We used to toilet paper people's houses all the time,
and that included many times going into people's backyards, toilet
papering trees in the backyard, toilet papering swimming pools.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
I hope you combined that with some eggs. No, we
egged some houses, Okay, no, no, no, we most definitely did.
We usually egged cars because we wanted it to sit
out in the sun the next day. Of course, did
another top notch bit of mayhem was just randomly kicking
slats out of people's fences.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Now, most of the fences in our neighborhood were like
wrought iron, so there was no kicking slats out. But
we would we would, gosh, I'm not gonna tell everything,
but we would do a lot of stuff that, uh
would be frowned upon.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
By law enforcement. Let me say that, Well, statute of limitations,
come on, let it out. Yeah, well there, I know.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I told this story where we would roll shopping carts
out into supulitous so cars we hit them.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Somewhat anti social, but at least keep going. It's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I had some friends I never did it, who went
around blowing up mailboxes with eights, of course, which is
a federal crime, but a classic, but it's a mailbox.
I'm trying to think of the other things that we
did which was straight up illegal. We put nails under
(31:35):
people's tires so when they drive away, they flatten their tires.
That's a little harder core. No, well it's not hardcore,
but you know, look, it was just a dawn of
the video game's age. We didn't have we had nothing right.
We were making up stuff to do.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
We had Lincoln logs and barrels, snowballs in the winter,
nothing else. But I mean, for me, the joy of
that was winding somebody up and getting to see it.
It sounds like you had some time to release things
you did. No, we had time, beliefe.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
We also had this quartz being like you know how
police have this like super flashlight on the car, but
we had one of those, and we would drive around
and just flash people like that and and burn their
eyes out so they would hopefully chase us. But my yeah,
my friend at the time was we had a souped up,
fixed up a sixty eight Camaro. It's like a it's
(32:25):
like a I don't know, I can't remember the size
of the engine, but it was a big block engine
and we would drag racing and we were just daring
people because we knew no one could catch us. Nobody
could catch us in that car. It was ridiculous. We're
doing reverse one eighties in the parking lot of dilamme
mall Roxford the Rockford maneuver, Yes, exactly that. Okay, Hey Sam,
(32:49):
get us the Rockford files. Polease, well click the thief.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
When you got a moment Sam's eating he can't be
never mind, before the show's over, you might as well.
Just ask him for a rim shot while you're Yeah,
Chris Woolsey brought in some food for us, some shrimp
and crab cakes. Sorry, this is really good food. I
had one of the crabcakes. It's really good. He's focusing
on what's important. All I'm saying is we I did
a lot of dumb, stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
So I think I'm an authority on dumb stupid stuff
you should not do, especially if there's a larger likelihood
of dying.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
But yeah, in the spirit of events of the last week,
nobody deserves to get shot for ringing and running.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
No, not at all. It's later with Mo Kelly I
six forty Love Everybody, I Heart Radio
Speaker 5 (33:29):
App as I and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange
County more stimulating talk
Kf I M six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You know what, I
thought I was going to talk about one thing, and
then all of a sudden, some Metro news broke.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I remember more standing right across from me, Windsloy bite lost.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I remember an old man.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Next to me, me Y.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Just in case you're riding Metro today and think you
are going to be home at a decent hour. No,
and I mean Metro train, I mean Metro buses, because
the buses are now helping out the trains because there
is a Metro train derailment where downtown basically fing up
(01:26):
the whole.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Metro train and bus line.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Kind of appropriate, It is kind of appropriate if you're
going to mess up, go big, go real big well.
Metro has been reporting significant delays, and you know, if
they reported the significant delays, it's probably worse to that.
But significant delays on two train lines today due to
a train derailment downtown northbound a line train derailed around
(01:51):
three pm at the Seventh Street Metro Center station and
after experiencing a minor incident, which they don't say specifically.
Quote the Los Angeles Police and fire departments assisted in
safely evacuating all passengers back to the platform.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It was not clear how many passengers.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No one was hurt, no injuries were reported, but the
delays kind of like ripples cascaded out to all the
train lines because if you know anything about Metro Center,
everything is there at Metro Center, and if you are
throwing off one or two of the lines and you
have to take those people off the track and then
(02:30):
put them on buses, it is completely disrupting everything. So
if you are on Metro right now, you're probably still
on Metro and you probably won't get home before what
time is it now, it's seven nine, Yeah, you won't
get home before Thursday. So just go ahead and sit back,
enjoy the ride, and just wait and eventually you get
(02:50):
home before the week is out. That is La Metro.
We have some poop beach warnings. You know, people are
still going to the beach as summer is almost a
few over, but people still go to the beach. The
weather it's still gorgeous and the water is still dangerous.
We'll tell you about that next segment. And we have
a California DMV update. Imagine that. Have you ever had
(03:12):
a personalized license plate. I have the vanity plates, and
you have to go through this process where you have
to let them know what the license plate is that
you want, and then two things will happen. One, if
it's available, they'll say, okay, Two, it's not available, get
to choose something out else.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
But even if it's available, there is a review process.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A review process like you just can't say Mark Ronner's
kiss his ass or something in seven letters. Okay, you
can't say that. You're not allowed to do that. Thank god,
the sensors probably won't allow it. I said, probably not definitely,
but but I'm gonna when we get to it at
the bottom of the hour, I am going to give
to Daniel, our video technical director, a picture of an
(04:00):
Elon Musk esque license plate that I saw just a
few weeks ago, and I was thinking, like, how the
hell did that get past the DMV sensors. So it's
really really arbitrary. But at the bottom of the hour,
I'm going to tell you about a woman who lost
her vanity plate. In other words, she had it for years,
but it was her own name. You think, how could
(04:22):
that happen? We'll tell you about that at the bottom
of the hour. And we've told you about the silly
things and dangerous things that people may have been doing
on TikTok. Were going to go out to Orange County.
And when I was growing up, we used to play
ding Dong ditch. When I was growing up, we used
to toilet paper people's houses. You can't do that anymore.
(04:43):
It's very dangerous. I don't mean like dangerous in a
kind of dangerous way. I mean very dangerous as in
your taking your life into your own hands. We'll talk
about that. And Chris Woolsey's back. Not only is he
going to talk to us about all things movies and
the watch free plus app with Visio, but he he's
bringing some trees.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I think he's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I think he just feels guilty for not coming to
see us all that often lately because he's been so busy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And then he's gonna bring us some food.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
So when I hear he's gonna feed everybody, there's only
one way to make this right, and that is with
those chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't know what he's bringing.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I don't know. He might be bringing those chocolate schoop cookies,
those are very good, you know me. I can't turn
down chocolate chip cookies. No, No, those were world class.
I like those and judging by the quantity of them
that I ate.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You would be both.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, hopefully. Oh and we have a special gift. Hey, twala,
let me know. Are we giving away these tickets tonight
and we're just gonna talk about it? What did he say?
He says he's gonna talk about it. Okay, Well, we're
gonna talk about your upcoming chance to win at some
point in the future. Tickets to see the Temptations and
the Four Tops, all right at the Soritos Center.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yes, yes, sugar Pie, honey Bunch, you know what.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And Poliocheti's here tonight. I hope he's not bringing food
as well, because if he does, he might have to
get past Chris Woolsey and you know, we'll have just
a food fight out in the hallway.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
We'll find a way to deal with it. Bring as
much as you want, Okay. I think Nick's here already
as well, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, he's here okay.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And you know, when I woke up today, you're dealing
with the normal news, and then there is the unexpected news.
I was really, really, and this is not often, but
I was really taken back, taken aback by the news
of the passing of Robert Redford. I was not ready
for that emotionally, because a few months ago we had heard,
if you were paying attention, that he said he was
(06:37):
going to retire from acting. That didn't say to me
that there were any pressing health issues. We just didn't
necessarily know. No one really knows except for him and
maybe his family members. But to get the news today
that he had died in his sleep, that was just
that rocked me that I wasn't ready for that. As
someone who follows movies and this love just about every
(06:59):
move he has ever been in.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I don't know if I have a favorite.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I have a few favorites, and without giving it away,
I know on Friday we will have name that movie
called classic just Robert Redford movies. We must, but don't.
I don't know if I can sit down on just
one favorite. There's just different performances. I mean, but Cassie
snass Kid, maybe you know it's up there, but that's
(07:27):
probably the correct ana.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
If I sat down and really started thinking about all
of them. I don't know if anyone would eclipse that one,
but that's the first one that comes to mind.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I think he chose carefully, but that's kind of the
popular favorite. He had a string of really good ones, and.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He's another one of those people I really would have
loved to have interviewed, never had the opportunity. Right after
Eddie Murphy. Why is Daniel laughing at everything? Why is
he laughing so loud? That's not funny. I'd see he
would never laugh at your expense because none of us would.
None of us would, Marcus Mockey. No, I respect you
too much for them. No, it's up there, definitely up there,
(08:05):
and it doesn't seem like I want to get either.
So it's all to say, Yeah, Eddi's still alive and
it still didn't gonna happen. Yeah, but we have to
talk about Robert Redford tonight, and we most definitely will
talk more about him on Friday. But I did want
to make mention of his passing and did want you
to think that we in any way were overlooking it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It hit me hard.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It was just one of those like Golly, he just
had no idea that that news might have been coming.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, it hit fifty one percent of our household very hard.
And I didn't want to have to be the one
to break it to her because I saw the news
before I went to bed, and I just I went
to bed quietly, didn't say anything. But the long suffering one,
let's just say she's a huge fan of Redford and
we're in a period of morning at my place.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I get it. I get it. I mean I didn't
see the news last night.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I went to bed, and it's like one of those
first news alert you get in the morning, and uh, yeah,
I was not ready for that at all.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But we'll talk about a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
When we come back to talk about the poop beaches
and just in case you want to go to the beach,
more fecal matter and bacteria everywhere. I am six forty
five everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. We're back
on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty That.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Maybe a person who loves to go to the beach
where you want to get your last bit of beaching
in before the weather begins to change, well, I gotta
warn you at least La County beaches. They're just as
horrible as ever. And I'm not saying it. I'm saying
the La County Department of Public Health is saying it.
And here are the latest warnings. And we love to
(09:37):
give you the warnings. These are the latest warnings and
they were issued because with me bacteria levels have exceeded
health standards. Here we go Avalon Beach at Catalina Island
one hundred feet west of the pier, and the swim
area west of Green Pleasure Pier. Just in case you're
happening to go to Catalina Island anytime soon, Mother's Beach
(10:01):
and Marina del Ray. The entire swim area is toxic
in a bacterial sense. Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica,
one hundred yards up and down the coast from the pier.
Leo Carrillo's State Beach in Malibu, one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the public restrooms. I have
(10:24):
no idea what the public restrooms are as opposed to
the private ones. So if you see public restrooms one
hundred yards up and down Pico Kinner Storm drain at
Santa Monica Beach near South Tower twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
If you know where that is, I sure as hell
do not.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
One hundred yards up and down the coast from the
storm drain, and an ocean water warning was lifted from
inner Cabrillo Beach in or Cabrillo, depending on how you
pronounce it. Let me just stop right there. When I
was growing up, it was pronounced both cabrillo and cabrio. Yes,
I know the Spanish pronunciation of cabrio, okay, but you know,
(11:03):
it's almost like saying the correct Spanish pronunciation is Los Angeles,
but we say Los Angeles. So growing up people were
saying cabrillo instead of cabrio. So whichever you should say,
Cabrillo beach Cabrio beach in San Pedro as opposed to
San Pedro.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
It's better.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now. Santa Monica officials, in collaboration with the Bay Foundation
in UCLA, they say they're taking steps to learn more
about how Santa Monica's beachwater affects water quality and the
surrounding environment. But have you noticed that every time we
give you a beach warning, Santa Monica Pier and Santa
Monica Beach are usually in there. So obviously there is
(11:44):
a connection. Hey, Mark, w was the last time you
were in a beach? Actually in beachwater? Ocean water? Childhood, childhood?
Maybe it's been a long time, Sam's and the sex doctor.
Who's the last time you're in ocean water? A few
months ago I went to Hawaii?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Oh, how was that?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Lovely? Is that the water's less poopy there? Significantly?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Was it like blue green? See the bottom?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah? You totally see your feet and everything. It's great.
Oh wow, how long were you there? I was there
for about four or five days with the kids. I've
never been to Hawaii, so oh yeah, no, you need
to go. I hear wonderful things about it, depending on
the island.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, of course, well no, And every time I've been
out there, I always come back.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I'm like, I am so moving out there, and I
never do.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's just one of those you know, unspoken fantasies that
just got spoken but never ever actually happens.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Isn't it more expensive than California? Yeah? Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And if you can make the money working remotely or
find job working on the island, then great. But yeah,
it's a or a buddy of mine. For example, I
went out there a few years ago, for his wedding,
and he moved out there with his wife, whose family
is from there.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Of all the places, I've never well, what we what
my wife and I should do is see if we
can hook up like a maybe fly into Japan, cruise
to Hawaii, and then fly back.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It's not bad, honestly, God, Japan is beautiful too. I
love it out there. But Hawaii is when you go,
you're going to forever. Fantasize about going back. Oh, that's
a that's a high bar. It's a high bar because
I've done some traveling. Hit up Maui, hit up Kawaii.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
If you love just pure nature beauty, all right, and
the high tourist areas is like Oahu or Oahu, Honolulu,
Maui for to an extent. But Maui it's because you know,
there's a lot of fun stuff to do, but it's
also pristine, beautiful. Okay, all right. That's one place I
have not been that I definitely want to go within
the United States. I think I've been everywhere I want
(13:51):
to go within the United States. I don't have any
desire to go to Alaska. I've had the opportunity to go.
I politely declined it would have been on business. I said, no,
thank you. It was like in April of a given year,
so the weather was going to be moderate. I still said, don't,
thank you. But I don't think there's anywhere else within
the United States Lower forty eight or anywhere else that
(14:12):
I have not been that I want to visit outside
of Hawaii. Yeah, no, it's worth it, highly recommended. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure I'm going to leave this earth without
having visited Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah. Yeah, I have on my resume too. Yeah, yeah,
I don't. I have no desire to go to Mississippi.
I've been to Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia. No, I'm
not going to Mississippi. I don't think I've been to Kentucky,
(14:46):
been to Tennessee, Nashville, Grand Old, Opry. That was good,
But that's about it. I've been to everywhere I want
to in the United States. I don't know if that's
true for Mark. I know he's been a traveling everywhere too.
I miss traveling. I haven't done any since COVID, and
we're dying to go someplace. Is there anywhere in the
continental United States or the lower forty eight that you'd
want to go.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Not really, I want to go back to the UK.
I went to school in Scotland for a year and
I loved it so much that I have fantasies about
retiring there someday. But let's not kid each other. Nobody's
going to be able to afford to retire. No, no, no, no, no, no,
it depends. I mean, the cost of living in Scotland
is probably less than the United States. I can just
fish for my food in lock Nest, that'll be great.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Well, you're the one who talked about retiring there, so
I assume you've already worked that out in the equation.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I haven't worked anything out. I got nothing. I'll drop
dead at this mic, so just prepare yourself for that moment.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yet, realistically, I'll probably spend the rest by night life
living in the US.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Depending.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
If I were to come into a lot of money,
then I would be an expat, probably in Spain, probably
because I would love to retire in Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Oh, you can buy essentially a castle in Spain for
what you could maybe get a garage for here.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Absolutely absolutely, But I can't do what I'm doing now there.
I mean technologically it's very easy to do. I'm just
saying they wouldn't allow me to. I'm not Rush Lumbaugh.
I just can't broadcast from the house. For the last
ten years of my career. You have said a true thing.
You are no Russian Lumba. I don't even know what
(16:23):
that meant. Let's talk about the DMV when we come back, Okay,
if I am six forty it's the Lady with moo Kelly.
We're going to talk about those personalized vanity plates, what
you need to do to get them, and just because
you get them doesn't mean that you get to keep them.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
JFI mister mo Kelly Milive on YouTube any iHeartRadio app.
And if you've ever had a personalized license plate of
vanity plate, you kind of know the process. It hasn't
really changed much over the past fifteen twenty years. You'll
this a website and go through the DMV and try
to put in your perspective plate including spaces, and if
(17:13):
it is available what you would like, they'll let you know, yes,
that is available, but it's not a guarantee that you
will be able to get that. If you want to
like to have a license plate of moke Kelly five,
you can see if it's in there and it's free,
that you can proceed with the process, and you can
choose a type of plate. If there's an environmental plate
(17:35):
or a special play where they have the old black
plates with the gold numbers in letters, or you have
it with the black plate and the white numbers in letters.
You can get to choose the plate, but it's not
a guarantee that you will get what you have requested,
even if available, because there is a sensor somewhere along
(17:55):
the line which will review the application and tell you
yay or nay.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And there is a woman by the name of Isis
Wharton and her license.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Plate that she's had since twenty twenty two is I
am isis no spaces in between. Iamis the DMV as
of right now because she Isis had already paid for
her DMV renewal and it was accepted. But then she
received a letter last week saying that her license plate
(18:30):
of I am isis supposedly violates States rules State rules
because it could be confused as being linked to the
terrorist group ISIS. Seriously, my friend Fatwa Smith had trouble too.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They didn't try Infidel no stop tell Dadiel to stop laughing.
But my point is.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
This has been ISIS her whole life. We haven't really
talked about ISIS as a terrorist group since maybe the
first Trump administration in Earnest Okay. For it to be
flagged now in twenty twenty five does seem odd. You
would think that in twenty twenty two, when she first
requested the plate, it more likely should have been shut
(19:22):
down then because the rules really haven't changed in the
past three years. We definitely haven't been talking about ISIS
in the past three years. And I know I've had
other friends who tried to get some things which were
clearly inappropriate to put on our license plate. They do
look at every request. But I was driving down the
(19:43):
street on one ten Freeway North. If you on YouTube
right now, you can see it. I was driving north
on the one tend and I'm almost downtown and this
tesla rolls by me with the license plate musk sucks SUX.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And I'm thinking, and this was prior to the story.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I'm thinking the same censors which said you can't have
I am isis and I'm not saying that Elon Musk
is a terrorist organization. I'm saying that censors for the
DMV have always been pretty damn uptight. I'm surprised that
they let Musk sucks go through. And I'm showing you
the actual license plate. Whoever owns it too bad, so
(20:22):
sad you wanted it, you drove it to publicly. I'm
going to show it publicly. But I was DWK on
a one ten and this was like maybe a month ago,
about maybe two weeks before I went on vacation and
a Tesla. That is like, it's obvious the point you're
trying to make. You bought the tesla. You don't want
people to think that you're pro Elon Musk. So you
got the license plate Musk sucks. You can't really have
(20:43):
it both ways, but only that. I would have never
done that because that makes your car stand out even more,
and I would think you're making it your car specifically
more of a target if you happen to be an
Elon Musk supporter.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, now you're really touching on something that occupies my mind,
which is I want my car to be nondescript and unmemorable,
just in case of anything.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'm in between. Yeah, I'm in between. You know, I'll
have a vanity plate.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
WHOA, what are you going?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Uh? What was on Samuel L. Jackson's wallet? No, No,
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Well.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Look I worked hard to get it. I was in
the d m V for quite a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Now, ergy B three zero nine.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I have to red.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Different hours.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Nine one three, ID, Sam, what were you gonna say? Uh?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, that's audio. Was about to put me to sleep.
Usually that's what happens when I hear that at the DMV.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I hate going to the d m V unless I
absolutely have to, and I usually have to end up
going to the d m V for re registration stuff.
My license is going to expire my birthday, so I
have to go down there to look at the chart
and prove that I can read some letters from fifteen
feet away something like that. I'll probably go down like
(22:10):
the week before and cheat and take a picture of
all the letters and memorize them. I mean, I don't
think I can go to jail for that, can I. Well,
at this point, anything's fair game.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I mean, you're true.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You could wind up in Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, criticize the wrong person.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
There must be someplace closer though, Well, there's always men
central jail gator gem.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Is that place closed or not? What's the final verdict
on that? I don't who can keep track. I heard
it was closed to let people go, then they say no, no, no,
to follow the injunction is still open. I lose track
of some of these stories.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Listen, bub The point is you just stay on the
straight and narrow and you're not going to have to
worry about it.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Well, it's not like my citizenship is going to change
between now and then. It could no, no, no, how
that I'm maybe perceived as a citizen they changed, but
the actual citizenship that's not going to change. Well, your
argument's not with me. I know, I know, Sam, it
can stay open and appeals court rules.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay, all right, so I was half right, not completely closed,
but they're trying to close it. But going back to
the story I am isis it's not clear whether she
will get her original license plate back. Me personally, I
think she should have it because you told her yes
for the past three years. The rules have not changed
(23:32):
and she's already paid. If you don't know you're paying
like an extra forty to sixty dollars. I don't know
what it is now for that vanity plate each year.
So unless you're going to I would say, look, you'd
have to refund me for all the previous years because
if it's if it's wrong now it was wrong, then
get something out of it for yourself. Best one I've
ever seen was one that just said poop. I'm surprised
(23:56):
that they allowed you allowed that person even get it.
The censors let it slip.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I was driving on the four oh five, you know,
the one on one four oh five transition, and the
car goes by me and I just see the license
plate poop.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
See it's so it's so inconsistent with what is considered
to be in poor taste or unacceptable or people may misinterpret. Yeah,
I don't think any license plate should have SUX on it.
I'm thinking like that would never slip through. And then
(24:29):
when you also put musk, when you make it very
specific and pointed, it may not happen again. But I'm
saying I'm surprised I never got through it all. What
are you gonna have a license plate saying musk sucks?
And this is where I agree with Mark. You are
asking for more attention than I think you really want.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
I really don't understand why you'd want to draw attention
to yourself with a personalized plate. And it reminds me
of a study done about people who wear loud underwear
versus people who just wear plane Underhere their distinct different
personality types. I'm not so sure that those are the
same things because of underwear license plates.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
For everybody to see the underwear is basically for you.
And maybe one other person is saying, do you live
your life, I'll live mine. I'm just saying I don't
know those things are comparable, that's all.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I'm just saying that people with who go out of
their way to be extroverts like that tend to be
just just empty d bags.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Okay, what about this? What if you meet in the middle,
what is it? If you have boring underwear and a
vanity plate, then you need counseling.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So what's the right answer.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Then you're saying, if you have a vanity plate and
loud underwear, there's a problem.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
If you have boring underwear and a vanity plate, that's
a problem.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
You're probably smarter, So if you have boring underwear, if
you don't feel the need to put on an ostentations
ostentatious display like that, you're probably you probably have your
stuff together a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You're pooped together a little bit more. Gosh, I feel attacked.
Let me check my underwear during the break. Wait, say
hold on, hurry, Sam, Let's go to the news. Now.
It's just basic black k if I AM six forty
Live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app. When we come back, we
want to tell you about the dangers of playing kids games,
(26:27):
or at least the ones that we played as kids
growing up.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Six. Ever we're live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
We were all once kids. Some of us grew up,
some of us did not grow up. But when we
were kids, most likely we found ourselves engaged in high jinks,
(27:04):
usually messing with adults, just being a pain in the ass.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
That's what kids do. I get it. I get it.
I used to be that kid.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I used to do a lot of pranks, some things
which would be frowned upon today without a doubt, some
things which were pretty dangerous even back in the day,
and some which were outright illegal, I will admit that.
But the things that we did there was no social media,
so it was just a function of us getting together
and doing it. We didn't get it offline, we didn't
(27:34):
get the idea from somewhere else. We came up with
the ideas on our own. And one of the games
that we would play ding Dong ditch. Go up to
someone's door, you bang on the door if they didn't
have a doorbell, not everyone had a doorbell back in
the day. Or you would ring the doorbell like five
or six times, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
ding thing and then wait for someone to open the door.
(27:57):
You would maybe be twenty steps away so they could
see you, and then you start running to see if
you can get them to chase you. But the whole
point was to get them out of bed or whatever
to open the door. It was silly, it was stupid,
but it was not likely to get you shot. These days,
it'll probably get you shot. A version of that, especially
(28:19):
in Orange County, is going around where people are kicking
people's doors to the point of even damaging them late
at night, and you can imagine if you kick on
the wrong person's door late at night to the point
of damaging it, you're probably gonna send the message, even
if it's just miscinterpreted that you're trying to break in
(28:40):
the house, and you might be met with a gun
and mark there was at least one kid who died
from this, right, I think somebody got shot in the back. Yeah,
this is something obviously in today's world you just can't do.
And Orange County residents are being alerted, not necessarily warned,
(29:02):
but alerted to be on the lookout or listed out.
Just be aware that they may be kids in your neighborhood,
young people who aren't necessarily trying to break into your house,
not necessarily trying to vandilize your house, but they may
kick on your door real, real hard, late at night,
and they're trying to let people know, to let their
kids know not to do it. All I know is
(29:25):
this is something I would do back in the nineteen eighties.
Would look. I would never recommend anyone doing it now.
But we did a lot of stuff back then because
neighborhoods were different. You didn't have or at least where
I lived, there wasn't the likelihood of someone coming out shooting.
Now times have.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Changed and the proliferation of guns wasn't nearly as insane
as it is now. And I'll tell you what cured
me of that. I did the same thing when I
was a kid. Somebody in the neighborhood must have had
it done to them once too often, because they strung
up a clothesline right at neck level. And after we
rang the bell and ran, I ran straight into that thing,
and you could I'm told that my feet came right
(30:06):
up to the level of my head and I had
to be carried away by my friends.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So it was an defective deterrent. That was the last
time I did it.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
We used to toilet paper people's houses all the time,
and that included many times going into people's backyards, toilet
papering trees in the backyard, toilet papering swimming pools.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
I hope you combined that with some eggs. No, we
egged some houses, Okay, no, no, no, we most definitely did.
We usually egged cars because we wanted it to sit
out in the sun the next day. Of course, did
another top notch bit of mayhem was just randomly kicking
slats out of people's fences.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Now, most of the fences in our neighborhood were like
wrought iron, so there was no kicking slats out. But
we would we would, gosh, I'm not gonna tell everything,
but we would do a lot of stuff that, uh
would be frowned upon.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
By law enforcement. Let me say that, Well, statute of limitations,
come on, let it out. Yeah, well there, I know.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I told this story where we would roll shopping carts
out into supulitous so cars we hit them.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Somewhat anti social, but at least keep going. It's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I had some friends I never did it, who went
around blowing up mailboxes with eights, of course, which is
a federal crime, but a classic, but it's a mailbox.
I'm trying to think of the other things that we
did which was straight up illegal. We put nails under
(31:35):
people's tires so when they drive away, they flatten their tires.
That's a little harder core. No, well it's not hardcore,
but you know, look, it was just a dawn of
the video game's age. We didn't have we had nothing right.
We were making up stuff to do.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
We had Lincoln logs and barrels, snowballs in the winter,
nothing else. But I mean, for me, the joy of
that was winding somebody up and getting to see it.
It sounds like you had some time to release things
you did. No, we had time, beliefe.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
We also had this quartz being like you know how
police have this like super flashlight on the car, but
we had one of those, and we would drive around
and just flash people like that and and burn their
eyes out so they would hopefully chase us. But my yeah,
my friend at the time was we had a souped up,
fixed up a sixty eight Camaro. It's like a it's
(32:25):
like a I don't know, I can't remember the size
of the engine, but it was a big block engine
and we would drag racing and we were just daring
people because we knew no one could catch us. Nobody
could catch us in that car. It was ridiculous. We're
doing reverse one eighties in the parking lot of dilamme
mall Roxford the Rockford maneuver, Yes, exactly that. Okay, Hey Sam,
(32:49):
get us the Rockford files. Polease, well click the thief.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
When you got a moment Sam's eating he can't be
never mind, before the show's over, you might as well.
Just ask him for a rim shot while you're Yeah,
Chris Woolsey brought in some food for us, some shrimp
and crab cakes. Sorry, this is really good food. I
had one of the crabcakes. It's really good. He's focusing
on what's important. All I'm saying is we I did
a lot of dumb, stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
So I think I'm an authority on dumb stupid stuff
you should not do, especially if there's a larger likelihood
of dying.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
But yeah, in the spirit of events of the last week,
nobody deserves to get shot for ringing and running.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
No, not at all. It's later with Mo Kelly I
