Speaker 1 (00:22):
KFI later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
When I say I'm back, we're back with the video
simulcast as well. So if you've been wondering where did
it go, Mo, well it's back because I am back.
We have mixed Master Daniel who has the whole setup
up and running. You can reach this at mister mo
Kelly on YouTube. Just start there. If you haven't seen
(00:46):
the video simulcast, you gotta check it out. Make sure
that you like, make sure that you subscribe, and make
sure that you share. Bring a friend with you. It's
like swinger Okay, you can't come by yourself. You have
to bring someone with you to the swinger's ball.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Is that maybe the wrong analogy to use?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Unlike to Walla Sharp, he's the only one who's actually
been invited to a swingers party. I don't know firsthand
what it's like, but I guess it's probably something like this.
We have doctor Sam, the sex doctor, who is running
the board tonight. He's our technical director on the Ones
(01:28):
and Twoes. Sam, how are you doing, brother?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm good. How are you doing tonight? I'm doing well.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I had my annual checkup and today and the doctor's
looking at me like, oh, mister O Kelly, we need
to have a conversation. There's some things you're gonna have
to change, some things you're gonna have to improve. And
I said, I thought I was doing well. I mean,
I'm doing my steps and I'm exercising every day. And
(01:56):
he said, yeah, you gonna have to do a little
bit more. You're gonna have to do something a little
bit better. Okay, we want to keep you around. It's like,
but I'm gonna be around.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And I think you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute,
are you saying that I'm old. I had two appointments today.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I had my annual check up and then I had
to go to an orthopedis to check on my hip
and and that was just more bad news. And then
they said, uh, mister o Kelly, you have early onset
arthritis in your left hip and there's not a lot
we can do with it. We can give you a
cortisone shot, or we can we can pray for you. Wow.
(02:34):
Oh yeah, it's just nothing but bad news, bad news.
And then I had to walk in and see Mark
Rodders like, damn, let's go get.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
A hip replacement together.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
No, no, no, no, they said that's the last resort, not
the first resort. Oh, it's just it was just a
big smack in the face today. It's like you got
more time behind you than you have in front of you,
and then you realize that, wait a minute, my mind
is exactly the same as I feel, just like I'm
thirty two.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, you just think it is the deterioration keeps you
from being aware of it. Did you get that one procedure?
You know that one I mean speaking of behind you? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Look, I had my colonoscopy a couple years ago and
I got ten years free free of charge. Okay, I've
come back for ten years now. They do the like
the blood tests and the PSA, all that is fine. Yeah,
so I'll have to physically exam for polyps or anything.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, you still get violated during your annual checkup, don't you.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No, I'm being very serious. It's it's pretty simple. You
can get the blood test, the PSA, the antigen test,
and that won't tell you how close you are to
prostate cancer. Now, if they feel that the number is
within the range where it's questionable, then they'll have you
do the digital exam.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I don't mean numbers. No, No doctor jellyfinger. Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, related to the guy who did my colonos could
be doctor sausage finger.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The girth of the finger, huh, it was pretty sizable.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's always the motion of the ocean, you know that, right, Well,
it always feels bigger, bigger than it is. I I
maybe if I were.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
More experienced, it wouldn't one hand or two hands on
the shoulders.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You only want the one. I tell you.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Look, it's one thing to deal with your own mortality,
but they always try to give it to you like
it's okay, no big deals, Like, but you just gave
me bad news.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Did they do the Jony Ernest? Well we all die. No,
they didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But it was almost like when when you hear these
smart ass phrases like, well, you know when a man
gets to be a certain age, a certain age.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
I'm not a certain age, I'm a very specific age
for in the age where you definitely have to be
violated my goodness. Fortunately you know, like you say, you
have another ten years before the violation happens again.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, and for those who don't remember when I had
my colonoscopy, and I know you didn't ask for it's
any of this information, but I'm gonna give it to
you anyway. I woke up during the procedure near the end,
no pun intended, or maybe pun intended. Oh yes, oh yes,
true story, true story. And then you realize, like damn it,
they're not done yet. So you know, it's just one
(05:28):
of those days where you're dealing, you're wrestling and losing
with your own mortality, and you realize that this is
the time of life that I dreaded and it's here now.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Okay, give me by Walker, Just look.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And I have no business complaining in front of you.
T Walla Sharp. You've been through far more than all
of us put together. Okay what I'm saying, I mean,
you know you're hip. Okay, Look, it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Okay. I me know.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I got a stitching from the root to the two
of them, so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, but when the doctor's telling you, it's like, yeah,
not regular oddsor I knew it was a degree of arthritis.
But when they say early on set, and you know
you and they said specifically you should not engage in
real vigorous activity which is going to move the socket
around like this, that and the other, and I said,
(06:20):
you do know that I like to do martial arts.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, you may want to.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I remember the doctor says something to the effective. Well,
are you trying to test anymore?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I said, that has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
It's like telling a basketball player you can't run the
court anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, but see, you've got one hope, one hip. Both
of my hips are on their way out.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
My goodness, And that's part of the reason why I'm
standing all the time, because it hurts when I sit
too long. It hurts when I stand too long. Other
than that, had a great day. Other than that, we're
all aside. Yes, I'm not gonna tell that lie.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
But I know I know someone out there understands exactly
what I went through today. Well you get the get
the painful reality just smacked in your face, and there's
nothing you can do.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Except take it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Look on the bright side. Soon you'll get one of
those Rascal scooters and those are fun.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No, I'll probably get one of those those scooters that'll
take me upstairs.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, get one of those two the stair elevators.
Those are cool. Yeah, Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No, you just wrestle with your mortality and you and
you realize all the things that you thought were for
old people there.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Now for you. You'll love your new walk in tub.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes, I have to actually worry about slipping in the
shower now and breaking a hip and.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Mark to go to hell? Can if I answer this
fort your live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
When we come back. We got to tell you about
this powerball ticket. It's up to one point four billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Are you gonna play?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know if I am, but if I win,
Like I always said, y'all never know.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Wait what you're not gonna play?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Put it this way, if I should, for some reason
unexpectedly retire or just not come to work, then you
can go ahead and assume that I won.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I Live with mo Kelly. We're alive everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. And I know you don't want to hear
about my day at the doctor. I'm just letting you
know I'm just like you.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I have my insecurities, I have my concerns, I have
my frailties. And you know, as you get a little older,
you start running away from birthdays. When I started on
the air here at KFI, I was forty two. I
think I listened Nick polioke age or so Nick, how
(09:02):
old were you? What?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Forty three?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Okay, so I'm looking at who I was some twelve
thirteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Hey, Sam Toronto's Mike, please there we go. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I don't know if it you know, you're far better
looking back then compared to me now.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I appreciate that. It's just that, you know, I feel
like my whole body's falling apart. I look in the
mirror and I see Mark Runner and it's just, you know,
it's so.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
As you're white as a ghost, is what you're telling me.
I just heardres nothing wrong. That's hilarious that all you got?
No I got more. Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But there's a reason I'm talking about this because I
thought a lot about the lotto today, to say, where
are you going with this? Here's here's the connection. You
get to a certain point in life and it's not
about things. There's nothing. And I used to like laugh
my my father because does I Daddy, what do you
want for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Life?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Now I don't have a wish list. I have everything
I want right now. I just want to be remembered.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And it's like, wow, that's really it's a good formulation
to be remembered.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Now I understand what he meant.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's like, I don't need the physical trappings of life.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I don't need a whole lot of money. I don't
need to.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Have the biggest house, the most expensive car, or you know,
the most expansive closet of clothes. That there's never been
anything that I really strive for. So the whole idea
going back to the lottery, of winning a jackpot of
one point four billion or so, which would be the
(10:38):
fifth largest jackpot in powerball history. To me, and I
mean this with all my heart, I really wouldn't want
to win one point four billion, but if I did,
if I did, hypothetically, if I did, I would without
a doubt giveaway at least eighty to nine tiny percent
(11:00):
of that and whatever I had remaining at the end
of that time. Then I would make sure, of course
that my family is okay in a generational sense as
far as money. But I would love, and Mark Roner
always likes to make fun of me, I would love
to have a bunch of buildings in my name. I
would and that's about the only point in which my
(11:23):
ego comes into it.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Just that one small detail. Well, well put it this way.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
To get the building in my name on some campus,
it meant I donated an s load amount of money,
So that's okay, And I don't really think about my
legacy in other words, like mo, how do you want
to be remembered?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't know, I don't care, I'll be gone.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm being serious, So I spend less time thinking about
that and more time thinking about the here and now.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
What can I do with what I have right where
I am?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Would you like to start advocating for a Nobel peace
price while you're at it, because that seems to be
kind of popular right now.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And see, my ego doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's never been about an award or a certain type
of recognition.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's about peace and happiness.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
In other words, am I happy doing what I want
to do right now? A billion dollars is not going
to make me more happy? And they say, you know,
money can't buy you happiness, but I'll damn sure pay
for the search, and it'll pay for the necessities that
I need to make sure that I'm comfortable. My family's comfortable.
That's the only thing that would make a difference to me.
(12:29):
I would give all of it, give that money away
in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All of it. How about a mo Kelly golf course.
I don't play golf. Oh yeah, see, I don't like golf.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You know, we always say what we would do, but
you know what, you could become some type of psychotic
miser the minute you get.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It, like no, look I don't need this, I don't
want that, And then you get it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It's like where's mo He is up in his hill
drinking his own you know, liquids and milk, the full
Howard Hughes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But this is what I would do.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And I can say this as far as what would
I do with one point four billion dollars or any
approximation thereof I travel more, and I say that, just
having returned from traveling, I would want to do more
of that. But that's not something that's going to take
up millions and millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's just not this.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Not that much travel the world that I want to
do that would necessitate spending that type of money.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, you could buy Greenland. No, it's not for sale,
don't you know. That mark.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's it's not for sale, and CABA is not going
to be the fifty first state.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Let's not start piling on.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Okay, I'm just just I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But but I'm weird like that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I know that most people, including you right now listening
in your car as you're stuck on the four or five,
I hear it's going to be messed up for the
next year or so, you would probably want that one
point four billion dollars. And it's just that has never
been all that appealing to me. I'm quite sure I
could find all my personal happiness in the first few million.
(14:02):
I didn't say tens of millions. I didn't say hundreds
of millions or definitely not even a billion, just a
few million. I think I'd be good to go because
I have all the physical things that I would want.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Now. My wife, she's a different story.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
She probably has ten thousand pairs of shoes that she
needs to buy between now and then.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
We're different like that.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Okay, So what you're saying is the money is going
to be gone. It's just it won't be used.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It will not be spent by me, and I'm quite
sure she has it all ready spent in her mind. No,
but I would love to donate to universities. I would
love to do that. I would love to donate to
specific high schools. I want to be that guy who
donates a basketball court or athletic facilities for a high school.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Would love to do that. I would love to have
I don't know. Put it this way, I've.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Dreamt, actively dreamt about possibly sending twenty thousand kids to college.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
That would be cool.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
If I had a billion dollars. You bet your ass
twenty thousand kids are going to go to college.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Set up a huge scholarship fund. That would be incredible, right.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And have the interest in that fund continue to fund
it year after year after year, and I wouldn't even
have to worry about it, and I'd have some accountant
workout the math. But those are things that you want
to talk about. How do you want to be remembered?
Let that be my legacy. Let me be the one
who had the money and cared less about buying a
social media website, who cared less about trying to purchase
(15:42):
politicians and help them get elected. Where that money goes
nowhere and helps absolutely nobody. I'd rather be the guy
who said Colley, he sent twenty thousand kids to college.
That's world changing. That is actually doing something right where
you are with could have an exponential impact in a
(16:03):
generational sense because you're not only helping them, you're helping
their families after work. Yeah, okay, that's what I would want,
that's all. And I still wouldn't tell any of you
mother fathers if I want.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And you could do it all without even throwing any
Nazi salutes, Yeah you could.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I can manage that. Yeah. Look, life is not all
that difficult.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
If you can't make it through life without throwing a
Nazi salute, well you know you need to work on yourself.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Let me put it that way. Put it that way.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, there's some self improvement in your life that needs
to be there. I have no idea where the show
is going to go Todays or something, So whatever happens happens.
I'm having I can't even say it's a midlife crisis.
It's like I'm like two thirds was the guy around
the band.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
The doctor point? Was that impactful? It was that impactful? Wow,
it was that impactful. See, this is why I don't
go to those things sometimes. No middle no because I
used to be the guys. Like sometimes ignorance.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Is like if you don't if you don't report the numbers,
it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I'm just talking to you because you and I understand this.
Maybe twala okay, do said uh mischoe Kelly, your blood
pressure is rather high and it's like, well, so you know,
all I'm gonna do is like worry about it and
it's gonna make it worse. And if I didn't take
my black ass to you today, I wouldn't have known that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, thanks for the feedback loop. Can't wait a minute?
Wait minute, so you don't take that is okay? Thanks?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
What are some things I can work on? Like like
that's why I like me. I go to the doctors.
I can know these things not to because you're just
gonna drop, you know, without you goal and Mark, you're
gonna just drop and we're gonna be like what happened
to Mark?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
His blood pressure was out of control.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
If he would have only gone to the doctor, he
would have known no, no, no, I'm fine. I drink less,
exercise more, and take those little pills that are supposed
to lower your blood pressure.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, they're supposed to Mark they're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It's a conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I mean, I'm furious from reading news all day long,
so I'm sure that's good for your blood pressure.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Look, I'm the guy who's out there doing steps every
freaking day, walking and marching around the studio.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm the guy saying I can't eat the pizza tonight
because I'm on my hand and it was all for nothing.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Not a freaking thing came out. Maybe I extended my
life for three days. Who knows you should ate the pizza.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Tomorrow was not promised.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
And I say this with absolutely no hint of humor
in this delivery.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Tomorrow is not promised. Damn it. I'm eating pizza tonight
and let the chips fall what they may. It's a
good thing. I got my vacation in Yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
In twelves over here being smug and everything like, oh
you have you have no real problems.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I had a double transplant.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I had a thing stuck up my groin all the
way out through my heart.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Look, my my life expectancy is far less promising than yours,
mister of fiftygreed, step it all around the damn studio
avoiding pizza.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Look, I may not make it through tonight.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Okay, so am I ordering the pizzas that's happening extra
olives KFI A six forty.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
KF Mo Kelly, We're live, everybody, I Heart Radio app
and the video simulcast is back. DJ Daniel on the
Ones and Twoes mixing the video feed for us on
YouTube at mister mo Kelly, m R M O K
E L L Y join the mo Migos in Motown.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Welcome back migos.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And if you follow me on social media, and if
I if you do follow me, you do it at
your own discretion and at your own peril.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I get.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I try to let people know all of I'm on
social media for me, which means that I'm going to
talk about the stuff that I want to talk about.
I'm going to get in the arguments that I want
to get into. Mark Ronner thinks that they're somehow entertaining
on occasion.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Oh they are, especially when you respond in kind to
an a hole.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
People mistake social media as being real. In other words,
you mistake the distance of social media that t the
impersonal nature of social media as an opportunity or an
invitation to say things that you wouldn't normally in person.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm not that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
In other words, I'm not there to make friends on
social media. And you know, and some people think that
they can say anything and everything, and I will respond.
What I always say is if you say something to
me which is indicative of what you would say on
the street, that I'm going to respond accordingly. I'm going
to give you the same energy you give me. You
(21:01):
come to me sideways, you're getting diagonal coming back. Okay,
it's going to be in a little different direction. That
being said, one of the things that I always argue about,
and I do mean to argue. I am a proponent
of education. I just am. I don't make any bones
about that. I don't make any apologies for it. I
(21:21):
believe that a more educated society is a more evolved society.
I think that there is something to be gained for
all of us in education. Now, education has been so politicized,
people want to say college is a scam or a
liberal arts degree is garbage. In fact, I was having
that argument on social media today, and there is something
(21:45):
both honorable and profitable in working with a trade. Let's
say you're a plumber, you're a welder, you're doing something
with your hands. I have nothing against that at all.
I'm just saying that college education still has an important
place in society in addition to those trade opportunities. And also,
(22:11):
if you know how the workplace works, oftentimes the college
degree is I'll say the cost of admission where there
are a lot of places won't even look at you unless
you have a college degree. And it doesn't mean that
you have to have a college degree in a specified
field to get a job in that specified field. I'm
(22:31):
just saying it's the barrier to entry for a lot
of positions. Now, when it comes down to money, here's
what it looks like here in California. And this was
in the La Daily News talking about which types of
jobs make six figures or more. And you know, living
in California, making six figures is not necessarily meaning that
(22:53):
you're going to be wealthy or it's going to be
easy for you and your family.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's very expensive out here.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
But this report track the wages of twenty two large
slices of the workforce in California as of May last
year twenty twenty four, the median pay here in California
for all eighteen million people working in California is fifty
six thousand, nine hundred dollars. That's the median. In other words,
(23:19):
it's like the midway point those higher and lower. The
average is fifty six thousand, nine hundred dollars in California,
and you would think, oh, my gosh, how does anyone
live on fifty six thousand dollars here in California.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You're right, I don't know the answer to that. I don't.
You're you're definitely struggling.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Baker and Barstow is how.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You're not wrong? You're not wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
But did you know that it was the ninth highest
median nationally. Here are five occupations that have median wages
of one hundred thousand dollars or more, and I'm going
to have to rush through this quickly. Management jobs one
hundred and thirty eight thousand, nine hundred dollars is a
midpoint wage and that covers one point three four million workers.
That usually requires a college degree, usually for the management jobs.
(24:07):
Computer and mathematical jobs one hundred and thirty six thousand
dollars median income and that's across seven hundred and forty
thousand workers. Again, that's a college degree, not getting into
the minutiae of what your major is. Legal jobs one
hundred and twenty nine thousand, three hundred dollars median income
(24:28):
across one hundred and fifty five thousand dollars workers. That
could go either way. You could be a pair of
alegal You may not have a degree. If you're a lawyer,
you have a few degrees, so that could cut either way.
Healthcare practitioners and technical jobs one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars medium income across one million workers. Healthcare practitioners, buy
(24:49):
and large. You have some sort of advanced education. It
may not always be a degree.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You could be a.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Physician's assistant and go to a specialty school for that.
But again it comes down to education. Architecture and engineering
jobs a degree, full stop. You're not walking in off
the street without the advanced education. Median pay one hundred
and nineteen thousand, five hundred dollars. And that's in California.
(25:16):
Now for the premium jobs, which are predominantly six figure
jobs here in California, Business and financial jobs median pay
one hundred and twenty eight thousand across one point twenty
five million workers, largely college education working in finance. Whatever
you down to have your business degree, finance degree, you're
(25:37):
going to need that to participate in that particular profession arts, design, entertainment,
sports and media. That's kind of like what I do
one hundred and ten thousand dollars median income across three
hundred and forty one thousand workers. That by and large,
you don't need a college degree if you go to
(25:59):
work in radio TV.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
It's not a necessity.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
But oftentimes if you look at the jobs and Sam
you know this, mark, you know this, a lot of
times they make that as a barrier to even getting
an interview, even though I don't need a college degree
to do this job. If you look at the job
description and we have it up right now because I
know KFI is looking for hosts weekend hosts, they say
(26:27):
college degree and you may not ever use it, but
oftentimes that's the barrier to entry. There is something to
be said for the trade professions being very lucrative, and
you can do that straight out of high school and
you can work that job literally for the rest of
your life. But there may be a ceiling to the
types of earnings for protective service jobs. I think that's
(26:50):
inclusive of first responders. Median income one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars, and that's across four hundred and thirty five
thousand workers statewide.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Construction and extraction jobs.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Most likely no college degree required, median income one hundred
and twenty four thousand. That's pretty damn good. Community and
social service jobs. That's rather vague. You could go either way.
I look at us. A social service jobs could be
doctor sam given what.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You do, yeah, that would fit. And you have eight
degrees job yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, Installation maintenance and repair jobs median income one hundred
and five thousand dollars across five hundred and forty five
thousand workers, and of course sales jobs. You can have
all the education you want, are none of it depending
on the particular company. Median pay one hundred and five thousand,
(27:47):
six hundred dollars. So for those who want to say
that a college degree is a scam or if you
have a business degree or a liberal arts degree, you've
wasted your time, that's not understanding the complexity of how
the job market actually works.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
If you just look at a lot of these.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Job listings they say college degree required, whether you actually
use it or not. It's not fair, but it's a fact.
And Mark Ronner has seventy five degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Who's counting.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I mean, if your only measure for what a college
degree is worth is how much money it gets you
in your career, that moves you a lot, you probably
need more education. You lost the plot absolutely, And if
you ever ever find yourself arguing on the side against education,
maybe maybe time to regroup.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
If you look at the most technologically and fiscally advanced
countries in the world, they all.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Promote education first and foremost. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I saw a meme on Twitter someplace the other day.
Somebody asked a friend in Germany why some any of
the people in Germany that they know are successful mathematicians
and things like that, And the friend from Germany responded, well,
have you considered educating more than just your rich people?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Or let's think about the United States where we talk
about why is it we've fallen behind in STEM courses,
Why is it we've fallen behind in the technological race?
Be it with uh China, or be it with Taiwan,
be it with South Korea.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Education.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Oh yeah, a lot of countries are smoking us right now.
Education is a good in and of itself. You don't
need to equate it with the amount of money that
you'll make in your career. Being educated is an intrinsic good.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's later with Mokelly. When we come back.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
We're going to tell you about the names which make
you more likely or less likely to get a job.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
There's a theme here, yes, okay, Well, look, Twala may
be on the list. The other right up top. Yeah,
not likely, we need us at Tawala. We'll find out.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
You're listening two later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And let me tell you about this Canadian study in
which researchers designed job ads that looked for a candidate
high in one of six personality traits honesty, humility, emotionality, extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness,
and openness to experience. These ads were then shown to
sixty participants, who were also given a pair of names
(30:27):
and asked to decide who would be a better fit
for the job between those two names. And what they
found was the results revealed that participants were more likely
to choose the candidate with a smoother sounding name, which
connotes a degree of agreeability.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
You know, the smoother sounding name.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Set the stage for a smoother experience or a workplace environment.
So very quickly, here are the thirty six names out
of that study most likely to get a job. If
you have one of the these names, and you know,
we're human, we're fallible, we're oftentimes predictable, and we have biases,
and if you hear a certain name, you may have
(31:09):
a certain connotation. I was looking through this less and
it's like, ooh, there's some ex girlfriends names on this list.
I wouldn't hire their asses for anything. So I get it,
I get it. Here are the thirty six names most
likely to get a job, in no particular order and
with an E. Joanna, June, Lana with an H, Laurel, Lauren, Lois, Luna, Mara,
(31:40):
in Ara.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So far, all I'm hearing are like names of people
that grew up on Little House on the Prairie.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It does date itself, does it matter?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, Marla Megan spelled m e g An, Marla, Mona, Maya,
m Yah, Noel, Nora. So basically, this is a bunch
of dudes hiring women they think they are sexy or attractive.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Naya Renee to ease Roseanne Hell's no, no one's hiring
the Roseanne Abel. Maybe they feel sorry because it got
slain by Caine. I don't know Alan Lewis as in
E W I S Linus who the f.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Linus?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Lorne as in l O r An E lou Lyle
Miles M I L E S.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Milo m I L O Milo whatever, Milo Morris, Hey,
I made the list. Good for you. Let's get to
the team. Moses, Nathan Noam, Who the hell is Noam?
N o A M. I don't know. We gotta know him.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Chomsky, but I think he's out of the workforce at
this point, isn't he No but he's quite up there
in years.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Okay, he's circling the train.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Noel Owen Ronan as in like the accuser, Yes, Warren
and will So no Twala is that no. Let's see
if you're on the list of least likely to get
a Jobe no particular order, Rita Erica Eda Ye, Patty
(33:27):
definitely I dated a Patty yep Christy.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
With a C, Katie Casey with a K.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Petra or Petra, Kathy with a K, Katya Kate, Trista, Tracy,
Pippa Tessa.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
They look they sound very tramped, stampy.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Okay, I don't want to work with A Pipa, Tessa, Tiya, Greta, Greta.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I know these some old ass sounding names. I'm dating
a Tessa. Well, don't hire Oh no, she's she's like
just like literally texting me. She has job offers right now,
and she really hopes she get what line of work entertainment?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
What type of entertainment? Please specify? Art director? Oh is
that what they're calling? Yeah, that makes sense, do you bet?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Eric Hector least likely now, Chris with a CEA Christ, Curtis.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Kirk, Ted, Titus Tucker, Hell yeah, don't hire a Tucker.
It just sounds like an a hole.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah yeah, Tate, Terry, Pierce, and Carter, Yeah, just sound
like frat boys.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Tates is a horrible name.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Kip with two p's, Oh yeah, frat boy for sure,
Kurt with a K, Jack, Victor, Garrett, and Zach with
h There you go. If you have any of those names,
you're f't when we.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Come back each other. Arbitrary, doesn't it It does.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I could make some other generalizations looking at these names,
but I'll say that for some other show k IF
I Am six forty Life Everywhere in the IHEARTRADIOB
Speaker 7 (35:04):
A Spy, and KOs t h D two, Los Angeles,
Orange County more stimulating talk
KFI later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
When I say I'm back, we're back with the video
simulcast as well. So if you've been wondering where did
it go, Mo, well it's back because I am back.
We have mixed Master Daniel who has the whole setup
up and running. You can reach this at mister mo
Kelly on YouTube. Just start there. If you haven't seen
(00:46):
the video simulcast, you gotta check it out. Make sure
that you like, make sure that you subscribe, and make
sure that you share. Bring a friend with you. It's
like swinger Okay, you can't come by yourself. You have
to bring someone with you to the swinger's ball.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Is that maybe the wrong analogy to use?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Unlike to Walla Sharp, he's the only one who's actually
been invited to a swingers party. I don't know firsthand
what it's like, but I guess it's probably something like this.
We have doctor Sam, the sex doctor, who is running
the board tonight. He's our technical director on the Ones
(01:28):
and Twoes. Sam, how are you doing, brother?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm good. How are you doing tonight? I'm doing well.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I had my annual checkup and today and the doctor's
looking at me like, oh, mister O Kelly, we need
to have a conversation. There's some things you're gonna have
to change, some things you're gonna have to improve. And
I said, I thought I was doing well. I mean,
I'm doing my steps and I'm exercising every day. And
(01:56):
he said, yeah, you gonna have to do a little
bit more. You're gonna have to do something a little
bit better. Okay, we want to keep you around. It's like,
but I'm gonna be around.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And I think you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute,
are you saying that I'm old. I had two appointments today.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I had my annual check up and then I had
to go to an orthopedis to check on my hip
and and that was just more bad news. And then
they said, uh, mister o Kelly, you have early onset
arthritis in your left hip and there's not a lot
we can do with it. We can give you a
cortisone shot, or we can we can pray for you. Wow.
(02:34):
Oh yeah, it's just nothing but bad news, bad news.
And then I had to walk in and see Mark
Rodders like, damn, let's go get.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
A hip replacement together.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
No, no, no, no, they said that's the last resort, not
the first resort. Oh, it's just it was just a
big smack in the face today. It's like you got
more time behind you than you have in front of you,
and then you realize that, wait a minute, my mind
is exactly the same as I feel, just like I'm
thirty two.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, you just think it is the deterioration keeps you
from being aware of it. Did you get that one procedure?
You know that one I mean speaking of behind you? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Look, I had my colonoscopy a couple years ago and
I got ten years free free of charge. Okay, I've
come back for ten years now. They do the like
the blood tests and the PSA, all that is fine. Yeah,
so I'll have to physically exam for polyps or anything.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, you still get violated during your annual checkup, don't you.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No, I'm being very serious. It's it's pretty simple. You
can get the blood test, the PSA, the antigen test,
and that won't tell you how close you are to
prostate cancer. Now, if they feel that the number is
within the range where it's questionable, then they'll have you
do the digital exam.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I don't mean numbers. No, No doctor jellyfinger. Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, related to the guy who did my colonos could
be doctor sausage finger.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The girth of the finger, huh, it was pretty sizable.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's always the motion of the ocean, you know that, right, Well,
it always feels bigger, bigger than it is. I I
maybe if I were.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
More experienced, it wouldn't one hand or two hands on
the shoulders.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You only want the one. I tell you.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Look, it's one thing to deal with your own mortality,
but they always try to give it to you like
it's okay, no big deals, Like, but you just gave
me bad news.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Did they do the Jony Ernest? Well we all die. No,
they didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But it was almost like when when you hear these
smart ass phrases like, well, you know when a man
gets to be a certain age, a certain age.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
I'm not a certain age, I'm a very specific age
for in the age where you definitely have to be
violated my goodness. Fortunately you know, like you say, you
have another ten years before the violation happens again.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, and for those who don't remember when I had
my colonoscopy, and I know you didn't ask for it's
any of this information, but I'm gonna give it to
you anyway. I woke up during the procedure near the end,
no pun intended, or maybe pun intended. Oh yes, oh yes,
true story, true story. And then you realize, like damn it,
they're not done yet. So you know, it's just one
(05:28):
of those days where you're dealing, you're wrestling and losing
with your own mortality, and you realize that this is
the time of life that I dreaded and it's here now.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Okay, give me by Walker, Just look.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And I have no business complaining in front of you.
T Walla Sharp. You've been through far more than all
of us put together. Okay what I'm saying, I mean,
you know you're hip. Okay, Look, it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Okay. I me know.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I got a stitching from the root to the two
of them, so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, but when the doctor's telling you, it's like, yeah,
not regular oddsor I knew it was a degree of arthritis.
But when they say early on set, and you know
you and they said specifically you should not engage in
real vigorous activity which is going to move the socket
around like this, that and the other, and I said,
(06:20):
you do know that I like to do martial arts.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, you may want to.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I remember the doctor says something to the effective. Well,
are you trying to test anymore?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I said, that has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
It's like telling a basketball player you can't run the
court anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, but see, you've got one hope, one hip. Both
of my hips are on their way out.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
My goodness, And that's part of the reason why I'm
standing all the time, because it hurts when I sit
too long. It hurts when I stand too long. Other
than that, had a great day. Other than that, we're
all aside. Yes, I'm not gonna tell that lie.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
But I know I know someone out there understands exactly
what I went through today. Well you get the get
the painful reality just smacked in your face, and there's
nothing you can do.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Except take it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Look on the bright side. Soon you'll get one of
those Rascal scooters and those are fun.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No, I'll probably get one of those those scooters that'll
take me upstairs.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, get one of those two the stair elevators.
Those are cool. Yeah, Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No, you just wrestle with your mortality and you and
you realize all the things that you thought were for
old people there.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Now for you. You'll love your new walk in tub.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes, I have to actually worry about slipping in the
shower now and breaking a hip and.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Mark to go to hell? Can if I answer this
fort your live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
When we come back. We got to tell you about
this powerball ticket. It's up to one point four billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Are you gonna play?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know if I am, but if I win,
Like I always said, y'all never know.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Wait what you're not gonna play?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Put it this way, if I should, for some reason
unexpectedly retire or just not come to work, then you
can go ahead and assume that I won.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I Live with mo Kelly. We're alive everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. And I know you don't want to hear
about my day at the doctor. I'm just letting you
know I'm just like you.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I have my insecurities, I have my concerns, I have
my frailties. And you know, as you get a little older,
you start running away from birthdays. When I started on
the air here at KFI, I was forty two. I
think I listened Nick polioke age or so Nick, how
(09:02):
old were you? What?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Forty three?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Okay, so I'm looking at who I was some twelve
thirteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Hey, Sam Toronto's Mike, please there we go. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I don't know if it you know, you're far better
looking back then compared to me now.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I appreciate that. It's just that, you know, I feel
like my whole body's falling apart. I look in the
mirror and I see Mark Runner and it's just, you know,
it's so.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
As you're white as a ghost, is what you're telling me.
I just heardres nothing wrong. That's hilarious that all you got?
No I got more. Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But there's a reason I'm talking about this because I
thought a lot about the lotto today, to say, where
are you going with this? Here's here's the connection. You
get to a certain point in life and it's not
about things. There's nothing. And I used to like laugh
my my father because does I Daddy, what do you
want for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Life?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Now I don't have a wish list. I have everything
I want right now. I just want to be remembered.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And it's like, wow, that's really it's a good formulation
to be remembered.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Now I understand what he meant.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's like, I don't need the physical trappings of life.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I don't need a whole lot of money. I don't
need to.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Have the biggest house, the most expensive car, or you know,
the most expansive closet of clothes. That there's never been
anything that I really strive for. So the whole idea
going back to the lottery, of winning a jackpot of
one point four billion or so, which would be the
(10:38):
fifth largest jackpot in powerball history. To me, and I
mean this with all my heart, I really wouldn't want
to win one point four billion, but if I did,
if I did, hypothetically, if I did, I would without
a doubt giveaway at least eighty to nine tiny percent
(11:00):
of that and whatever I had remaining at the end
of that time. Then I would make sure, of course
that my family is okay in a generational sense as
far as money. But I would love, and Mark Roner
always likes to make fun of me, I would love
to have a bunch of buildings in my name. I
would and that's about the only point in which my
(11:23):
ego comes into it.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Just that one small detail. Well, well put it this way.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
To get the building in my name on some campus,
it meant I donated an s load amount of money,
So that's okay, And I don't really think about my
legacy in other words, like mo, how do you want
to be remembered?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't know, I don't care, I'll be gone.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm being serious, So I spend less time thinking about
that and more time thinking about the here and now.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
What can I do with what I have right where
I am?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Would you like to start advocating for a Nobel peace
price while you're at it, because that seems to be
kind of popular right now.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And see, my ego doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's never been about an award or a certain type
of recognition.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's about peace and happiness.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
In other words, am I happy doing what I want
to do right now? A billion dollars is not going
to make me more happy? And they say, you know,
money can't buy you happiness, but I'll damn sure pay
for the search, and it'll pay for the necessities that
I need to make sure that I'm comfortable. My family's comfortable.
That's the only thing that would make a difference to me.
(12:29):
I would give all of it, give that money away
in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All of it. How about a mo Kelly golf course.
I don't play golf. Oh yeah, see, I don't like golf.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You know, we always say what we would do, but
you know what, you could become some type of psychotic
miser the minute you get.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It, like no, look I don't need this, I don't
want that, And then you get it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It's like where's mo He is up in his hill
drinking his own you know, liquids and milk, the full
Howard Hughes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But this is what I would do.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And I can say this as far as what would
I do with one point four billion dollars or any
approximation thereof I travel more, and I say that, just
having returned from traveling, I would want to do more
of that. But that's not something that's going to take
up millions and millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's just not this.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Not that much travel the world that I want to
do that would necessitate spending that type of money.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, you could buy Greenland. No, it's not for sale,
don't you know. That mark.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's it's not for sale, and CABA is not going
to be the fifty first state.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Let's not start piling on.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Okay, I'm just just I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But but I'm weird like that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I know that most people, including you right now listening
in your car as you're stuck on the four or five,
I hear it's going to be messed up for the
next year or so, you would probably want that one
point four billion dollars. And it's just that has never
been all that appealing to me. I'm quite sure I
could find all my personal happiness in the first few million.
(14:02):
I didn't say tens of millions. I didn't say hundreds
of millions or definitely not even a billion, just a
few million. I think I'd be good to go because
I have all the physical things that I would want.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Now. My wife, she's a different story.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
She probably has ten thousand pairs of shoes that she
needs to buy between now and then.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
We're different like that.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Okay, So what you're saying is the money is going
to be gone. It's just it won't be used.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It will not be spent by me, and I'm quite
sure she has it all ready spent in her mind. No,
but I would love to donate to universities. I would
love to do that. I would love to donate to
specific high schools. I want to be that guy who
donates a basketball court or athletic facilities for a high school.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Would love to do that. I would love to have
I don't know. Put it this way, I've.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Dreamt, actively dreamt about possibly sending twenty thousand kids to college.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
That would be cool.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
If I had a billion dollars. You bet your ass
twenty thousand kids are going to go to college.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Set up a huge scholarship fund. That would be incredible, right.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And have the interest in that fund continue to fund
it year after year after year, and I wouldn't even
have to worry about it, and I'd have some accountant
workout the math. But those are things that you want
to talk about. How do you want to be remembered?
Let that be my legacy. Let me be the one
who had the money and cared less about buying a
social media website, who cared less about trying to purchase
(15:42):
politicians and help them get elected. Where that money goes
nowhere and helps absolutely nobody. I'd rather be the guy
who said Colley, he sent twenty thousand kids to college.
That's world changing. That is actually doing something right where
you are with could have an exponential impact in a
(16:03):
generational sense because you're not only helping them, you're helping
their families after work. Yeah, okay, that's what I would want,
that's all. And I still wouldn't tell any of you
mother fathers if I want.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And you could do it all without even throwing any
Nazi salutes, Yeah you could.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I can manage that. Yeah. Look, life is not all
that difficult.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
If you can't make it through life without throwing a
Nazi salute, well you know you need to work on yourself.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Let me put it that way. Put it that way.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, there's some self improvement in your life that needs
to be there. I have no idea where the show
is going to go Todays or something, So whatever happens happens.
I'm having I can't even say it's a midlife crisis.
It's like I'm like two thirds was the guy around
the band.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
The doctor point? Was that impactful? It was that impactful? Wow,
it was that impactful. See, this is why I don't
go to those things sometimes. No middle no because I
used to be the guys. Like sometimes ignorance.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Is like if you don't if you don't report the numbers,
it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I'm just talking to you because you and I understand this.
Maybe twala okay, do said uh mischoe Kelly, your blood
pressure is rather high and it's like, well, so you know,
all I'm gonna do is like worry about it and
it's gonna make it worse. And if I didn't take
my black ass to you today, I wouldn't have known that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, thanks for the feedback loop. Can't wait a minute?
Wait minute, so you don't take that is okay? Thanks?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
What are some things I can work on? Like like
that's why I like me. I go to the doctors.
I can know these things not to because you're just
gonna drop, you know, without you goal and Mark, you're
gonna just drop and we're gonna be like what happened
to Mark?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
His blood pressure was out of control.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
If he would have only gone to the doctor, he
would have known no, no, no, I'm fine. I drink less,
exercise more, and take those little pills that are supposed
to lower your blood pressure.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, they're supposed to Mark they're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It's a conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I mean, I'm furious from reading news all day long,
so I'm sure that's good for your blood pressure.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Look, I'm the guy who's out there doing steps every
freaking day, walking and marching around the studio.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm the guy saying I can't eat the pizza tonight
because I'm on my hand and it was all for nothing.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Not a freaking thing came out. Maybe I extended my
life for three days. Who knows you should ate the pizza.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Tomorrow was not promised.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
And I say this with absolutely no hint of humor
in this delivery.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Tomorrow is not promised. Damn it. I'm eating pizza tonight
and let the chips fall what they may. It's a
good thing. I got my vacation in Yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
In twelves over here being smug and everything like, oh
you have you have no real problems.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I had a double transplant.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I had a thing stuck up my groin all the
way out through my heart.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Look, my my life expectancy is far less promising than yours,
mister of fiftygreed, step it all around the damn studio
avoiding pizza.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Look, I may not make it through tonight.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Okay, so am I ordering the pizzas that's happening extra
olives KFI A six forty.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
KF Mo Kelly, We're live, everybody, I Heart Radio app
and the video simulcast is back. DJ Daniel on the
Ones and Twoes mixing the video feed for us on
YouTube at mister mo Kelly, m R M O K
E L L Y join the mo Migos in Motown.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Welcome back migos.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And if you follow me on social media, and if
I if you do follow me, you do it at
your own discretion and at your own peril.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I get.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I try to let people know all of I'm on
social media for me, which means that I'm going to
talk about the stuff that I want to talk about.
I'm going to get in the arguments that I want
to get into. Mark Ronner thinks that they're somehow entertaining
on occasion.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Oh they are, especially when you respond in kind to
an a hole.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
People mistake social media as being real. In other words,
you mistake the distance of social media that t the
impersonal nature of social media as an opportunity or an
invitation to say things that you wouldn't normally in person.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm not that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
In other words, I'm not there to make friends on
social media. And you know, and some people think that
they can say anything and everything, and I will respond.
What I always say is if you say something to
me which is indicative of what you would say on
the street, that I'm going to respond accordingly. I'm going
to give you the same energy you give me. You
(21:01):
come to me sideways, you're getting diagonal coming back. Okay,
it's going to be in a little different direction. That
being said, one of the things that I always argue about,
and I do mean to argue. I am a proponent
of education. I just am. I don't make any bones
about that. I don't make any apologies for it. I
(21:21):
believe that a more educated society is a more evolved society.
I think that there is something to be gained for
all of us in education. Now, education has been so politicized,
people want to say college is a scam or a
liberal arts degree is garbage. In fact, I was having
that argument on social media today, and there is something
(21:45):
both honorable and profitable in working with a trade. Let's
say you're a plumber, you're a welder, you're doing something
with your hands. I have nothing against that at all.
I'm just saying that college education still has an important
place in society in addition to those trade opportunities. And also,
(22:11):
if you know how the workplace works, oftentimes the college
degree is I'll say the cost of admission where there
are a lot of places won't even look at you unless
you have a college degree. And it doesn't mean that
you have to have a college degree in a specified
field to get a job in that specified field. I'm
(22:31):
just saying it's the barrier to entry for a lot
of positions. Now, when it comes down to money, here's
what it looks like here in California. And this was
in the La Daily News talking about which types of
jobs make six figures or more. And you know, living
in California, making six figures is not necessarily meaning that
(22:53):
you're going to be wealthy or it's going to be
easy for you and your family.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's very expensive out here.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
But this report track the wages of twenty two large
slices of the workforce in California as of May last
year twenty twenty four, the median pay here in California
for all eighteen million people working in California is fifty
six thousand, nine hundred dollars. That's the median. In other words,
(23:19):
it's like the midway point those higher and lower. The
average is fifty six thousand, nine hundred dollars in California,
and you would think, oh, my gosh, how does anyone
live on fifty six thousand dollars here in California.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You're right, I don't know the answer to that. I don't.
You're you're definitely struggling.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Baker and Barstow is how.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You're not wrong? You're not wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
But did you know that it was the ninth highest
median nationally. Here are five occupations that have median wages
of one hundred thousand dollars or more, and I'm going
to have to rush through this quickly. Management jobs one
hundred and thirty eight thousand, nine hundred dollars is a
midpoint wage and that covers one point three four million workers.
That usually requires a college degree, usually for the management jobs.
(24:07):
Computer and mathematical jobs one hundred and thirty six thousand
dollars median income and that's across seven hundred and forty
thousand workers. Again, that's a college degree, not getting into
the minutiae of what your major is. Legal jobs one
hundred and twenty nine thousand, three hundred dollars median income
(24:28):
across one hundred and fifty five thousand dollars workers. That
could go either way. You could be a pair of
alegal You may not have a degree. If you're a lawyer,
you have a few degrees, so that could cut either way.
Healthcare practitioners and technical jobs one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars medium income across one million workers. Healthcare practitioners, buy
(24:49):
and large. You have some sort of advanced education. It
may not always be a degree.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You could be a.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Physician's assistant and go to a specialty school for that.
But again it comes down to education. Architecture and engineering
jobs a degree, full stop. You're not walking in off
the street without the advanced education. Median pay one hundred
and nineteen thousand, five hundred dollars. And that's in California.
(25:16):
Now for the premium jobs, which are predominantly six figure
jobs here in California, Business and financial jobs median pay
one hundred and twenty eight thousand across one point twenty
five million workers, largely college education working in finance. Whatever
you down to have your business degree, finance degree, you're
(25:37):
going to need that to participate in that particular profession arts, design, entertainment,
sports and media. That's kind of like what I do
one hundred and ten thousand dollars median income across three
hundred and forty one thousand workers. That by and large,
you don't need a college degree if you go to
(25:59):
work in radio TV.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
It's not a necessity.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
But oftentimes if you look at the jobs and Sam
you know this, mark, you know this, a lot of
times they make that as a barrier to even getting
an interview, even though I don't need a college degree
to do this job. If you look at the job
description and we have it up right now because I
know KFI is looking for hosts weekend hosts, they say
(26:27):
college degree and you may not ever use it, but
oftentimes that's the barrier to entry. There is something to
be said for the trade professions being very lucrative, and
you can do that straight out of high school and
you can work that job literally for the rest of
your life. But there may be a ceiling to the
types of earnings for protective service jobs. I think that's
(26:50):
inclusive of first responders. Median income one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars, and that's across four hundred and thirty five
thousand workers statewide.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Construction and extraction jobs.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Most likely no college degree required, median income one hundred
and twenty four thousand. That's pretty damn good. Community and
social service jobs. That's rather vague. You could go either way.
I look at us. A social service jobs could be
doctor sam given what.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You do, yeah, that would fit. And you have eight
degrees job yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, Installation maintenance and repair jobs median income one hundred
and five thousand dollars across five hundred and forty five
thousand workers, and of course sales jobs. You can have
all the education you want, are none of it depending
on the particular company. Median pay one hundred and five thousand,
(27:47):
six hundred dollars. So for those who want to say
that a college degree is a scam or if you
have a business degree or a liberal arts degree, you've
wasted your time, that's not understanding the complexity of how
the job market actually works.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
If you just look at a lot of these.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Job listings they say college degree required, whether you actually
use it or not. It's not fair, but it's a fact.
And Mark Ronner has seventy five degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Who's counting.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I mean, if your only measure for what a college
degree is worth is how much money it gets you
in your career, that moves you a lot, you probably
need more education. You lost the plot absolutely, And if
you ever ever find yourself arguing on the side against education,
maybe maybe time to regroup.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
If you look at the most technologically and fiscally advanced
countries in the world, they all.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Promote education first and foremost. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I saw a meme on Twitter someplace the other day.
Somebody asked a friend in Germany why some any of
the people in Germany that they know are successful mathematicians
and things like that, And the friend from Germany responded, well,
have you considered educating more than just your rich people?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Or let's think about the United States where we talk
about why is it we've fallen behind in STEM courses,
Why is it we've fallen behind in the technological race?
Be it with uh China, or be it with Taiwan,
be it with South Korea.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Education.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Oh yeah, a lot of countries are smoking us right now.
Education is a good in and of itself. You don't
need to equate it with the amount of money that
you'll make in your career. Being educated is an intrinsic good.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's later with Mokelly. When we come back.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
We're going to tell you about the names which make
you more likely or less likely to get a job.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
There's a theme here, yes, okay, Well, look, Twala may
be on the list. The other right up top. Yeah,
not likely, we need us at Tawala. We'll find out.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
You're listening two later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And let me tell you about this Canadian study in
which researchers designed job ads that looked for a candidate
high in one of six personality traits honesty, humility, emotionality, extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness,
and openness to experience. These ads were then shown to
sixty participants, who were also given a pair of names
(30:27):
and asked to decide who would be a better fit
for the job between those two names. And what they
found was the results revealed that participants were more likely
to choose the candidate with a smoother sounding name, which
connotes a degree of agreeability.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
You know, the smoother sounding name.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Set the stage for a smoother experience or a workplace environment.
So very quickly, here are the thirty six names out
of that study most likely to get a job. If
you have one of the these names, and you know,
we're human, we're fallible, we're oftentimes predictable, and we have biases,
and if you hear a certain name, you may have
(31:09):
a certain connotation. I was looking through this less and
it's like, ooh, there's some ex girlfriends names on this list.
I wouldn't hire their asses for anything. So I get it,
I get it. Here are the thirty six names most
likely to get a job, in no particular order and
with an E. Joanna, June, Lana with an H, Laurel, Lauren, Lois, Luna, Mara,
(31:40):
in Ara.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So far, all I'm hearing are like names of people
that grew up on Little House on the Prairie.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It does date itself, does it matter?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, Marla Megan spelled m e g An, Marla, Mona, Maya,
m Yah, Noel, Nora. So basically, this is a bunch
of dudes hiring women they think they are sexy or attractive.
Speaker 1 (32:05):

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Naya Renee to ease Roseanne Hell's no, no one's hiring

slain by Caine. I don't know Alan Lewis as in
