e l l Y. Got a big show tonight, got
(00:43):
a big, big, big show. And what I mean by
that is a lot of pithy issues to sync our
teeth into. You know how they were talking about possibly
allowing people to drink in public and Santa Monica, well
that's going to become a reality. That passed yesterday. Santa
Monica City Council passed it. We'll talk about that next segment.
(01:05):
And if you're like me, you probably grew up loving
thrifty ice cream and it used to be you would
get thrifty ice cream at right aid and other places.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Now there's a question as to.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Whether we will be able to get thrifty ice cream
because more and more right aids have been set to close.
We're going to tell you where they're closing and whether
that impacts how you get thrifty ice cream going forward?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
No, no, yes, yes, yes, uh huh yes.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I remember thrifty ice cream when it was only fifteen cents.
Let's scoop. It's like maybe a dollar an hour or
something like that. I don't know, it's not much. It's
not much. And whenever I go, it's cookies and cream.
But the last two ride aids that I would go
to get thrifty ice cream. They've been since closed down.
We'll talk about that at the bottom of the hour.
And did you hear about the story where a sol
(02:02):
Caw door Dash driver tried to cheat door Dash out
of two point five million dollars million dollars. We'll tell
you about that, and the nice exercise lady will be
back with us at the top of the second hour,
Claudine Cooper. We're gonna talk about all things teen wellness.
When she joins us, it's Wednesday. Tiffany Hobbs joins us
(02:24):
in the studio. In fact, she's already here. I don't
know why she's here, sodam early. Why is she here
so early?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
She's recording an interview for Saturdays with Tiffany Oh Okay, yeah,
you just outed her. But okay, I mean she's just
like you Mo, never not working well.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No, I look, I'm not gonna hate the you know,
the the work ethics.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That just I didn't know why she was here.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So all your protegees work hard, all right, except for
I won't say that.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Ice cree was five cents when you were a kid. Yeah,
fifteen cents was a triple.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I remember fifteen cents, so I mean at one point
it may have been five since I'm just saying I
don't remember it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Being seventy five.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It was talking about thrifty ice cream five cents, ten cents,
fifteen cents.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And when was it fifteen cents for triple back in
seventy five?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Seventy five? Yep, oh my goodness. Oh and I'm twala.
We're gonna put this whole Waymo thing to bed once again,
you may think so. Tonight, though, we're gonna tell you
about how more than twelve hundred Waymol taxis have been recalled.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Why Mark Rodger, do you know why?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Let me see if I can guess they're unreliable, no
minor crashes.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
My probably is wait a minute, you're recalling twelve hundred
vehicles over minor crashes that you clearly did not report
to the public. Okay, so they were gaming the system.
They had this full sense of a reliability. They're not trustworthy.
Absolute hogwash. I put this on the on the run
(03:58):
the show for a reason.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
This story does not in any way, damn the process
of Weymo. No any recall of twelve hundred because of crash.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh, I can't wait. When are we talking about this?
Oh it's gonna be bottom of the third hour.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay, let's go between now and can we find out
if Waymo has given Tula a luxury jet. I'm not
a president of any such country that could accept the jet.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, but you could be bribed, that's for damn sure. Look,
there's no bribery need. This story actually vindicates itself. I'm
ready for you the Look, you must be the Ministry
of Information if you think that a twelve hundred vehicle
recall is somehow good news.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Hey, you know what it is. This actually is.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And we're going to close out the show tonight with
my final thought regarding Pete Rose and his removal from
the permanently ineligible lists to being able to be considered
for the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Doesn't mean
that he's going in, but a huge hurdle has been crossed.
He could be in the Hall of Fame before the
(05:05):
end of this calendar year. Will close out the show
with my thoughts on that. So there's so much to discuss.
There's so much that I need to do to make
sure that Twala is wrong tonight regarding Waymo, There's so
much we have to talk about, regarding drinking in Santa Monica,
write Aid Thrifty ice Cream, Health and Wellness with Claudie
(05:26):
and Cooper, the Viral Load with Tiffany Hobbs and of
course Pete Rose.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That's all coming up tonight.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And be sure you check out our live video feed
on both Instagram and YouTube at mister bo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (05:40):

be easier to find this show. You won't have to search,
You'll just come up in your subscribe places as far
as YouTube the channels that you want to watch. It
makes it so much easier, it's so much better, and
it's an interactive show. You will have Carniesha, who's managing
the YouTube chat. She'll be responding on behalf of me.
(06:04):
I will be responding Tawaula. Eventually we'll jump in there
and respond. I know Stephan is in there responding. Tiffany
Hops from a viral load will be in the chat
as well. Claudie Cooper will be in the chat. So
it's a good way to not only hang out with us,
but to talk to us. You can't do this anywhere else.
It's Later with Moe Kelly KFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We're live on YouTube, We're live on Instagram, We're live
on the iHeartRadio app. And I've never been a real
fan of public drinking. I personally think you should do
it in your house. I think you should keep it
in the bar. I think you should keep it in
the restaurant. That's just me personally. Yes, I've been to
Vegas many times and I see people walking around with
(06:56):
their beverages going from casino to casino.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Not a foreign phenomenon. To me, I'm just not a fan.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Of it because I get to see people at their
worst with liquor in their system, and you're giving them
a level of freedom to do even worse than what
they already were planning to do. And I mentioned that
because Santa Monica officials have passed the public drinking zone
proposal for Third Street Promenade. And if you've lived in
(07:25):
La your whole life, you probably have been to Like me,
at least you've been to Third Street Promenade. It used
to be very happening back in the late nineties early
two thousands. It was a great place to shop. They
had nice evening restaurants. You could go get something to eat.
They had some night spots as well, you could hang out.
I used to promote some clubs over in the Third
(07:47):
Street Promenade, so I had a reason to be over
there a few times a month. It was really cool,
and then in recent years it started dying out. And
I understand why Santa Monica wants to revitalize this Third
Street promenade. I just don't know if this is going
to be the way to do it. The thurs Street Promenade,
(08:08):
with the approval of this proposal will let visitors sip
alcoholic drinks as they stroll through downtown. Santa Monica City
Council last night approved the designation of Santa Monica's Entertainment
Zone to allow folks twenty one and over to purchase
alcoholic drinks from licensed and participating businesses and consume it outdoors.
(08:31):
If you're wondering how large is this entertainment zone, the
zone will span across the twelve hundred to fourteen hundred
blocks of the promenade between Wiltshire and Broadway. And if
you've ever walked Third Street Promenade, just think of Third
Street Promenada's right there. And it's going to start next
month Fridays through Sundays from six pm to two am.
(08:52):
They don't say when exactly in June, but it will
be Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday nights from six
pm to two am. If you plan to partake, you'll
have a special wristband and there will be, according to
this extra security presence to ensure people are drinking responsibly.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Wink wink. I don't know if this is going to
bring back the night life. I honestly don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I see this as LA looking at what other coastal
and beach cities are doing to keep their nightlife alive.
Alive in South Beach, which we have both been to
talk about. All along South Beach they are sipping on
humah homas until walking up and down the beach. Why
(09:41):
not have LA with venice beats at Monica Beach, Huntington Beach,
all the beach cities and coastal areas. Why not have
them also be able to participate and partake in adult
beverage drinking.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Wall out about Stephan go ahead? And then I got
a response to twelve.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah. No, I was to say, isn't South He's the
one where they'll serve alcohol til four and then they'll
just switch.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Over the breast. Yes, yes, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Glorious, but they're also hotels there, which line the beach
should also.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I think it's Ocean Avenue.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
From y Yeah, Collins, Collins and Ocean. The point is
it's a different topography. That's the only way I can
describe it. When you're talking about Third Street Promenade, if
you have been to both, you can compare both. You're
only talking about maybe a handful of bars, a handful
of restaurants and there's not a long avenue for people
(10:34):
to walk. They would stay in a relatively confined area,
which is good, but it also suggested it's not all
that necessary.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Right now, We've got to read the tea leaves. Okay,
this is forecasting. This is Santa Monica saying we will
be the beta test in this, because again, what Santa
Monica and Third Street Promenade is saying is our night
life has died out. A lot of coastal towns here
(11:05):
in southern California are facing similar issues with not having
a vibrant nightlife, even though they have these restaurants that
they try to attract to the beaches and along the
shores and stuff so people can go hang out and
party and do all that. But we're whack. Everything closes early.
All this is tied into the leaving bars open later.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
All of that.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They need LA to be at least competitive with Miami,
with New York, where the bars don't shut down they
stop serving alcohol like four in the morning in New York.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Why should we be any different.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I hear that, and I understand that, and I'm also
sympathetic to that. For businesses to remain open, I don't
know if there is such a thing as a social ethic.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I don't know if LA fits that social ethic.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't know if LA is an all night town
in a way that New York or Miami Las Vegas
is New York the city that never sleeps. That that
means something that is, that's a real thing. And LA
we're so very spread out. We have these neighborhoods and pockets,
not necessarily a unified city ethos.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I don't know what that works. Maybe if you were
to build up.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That Third Street promenade districted and makes it a little
more inviting and it caters more to that younger demographic
because we're not really talking about the fifty enough crowd.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We don't want to deal with that. No, we're not going.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
But you also have to be ready for the inherent issues.
Because I've been in New York all night. I know
what that leads to. I've been to Miami night hell
a lot of places where you could drink all night,
all night. But if you build it, they will come.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And look, and when they do, be ready, be ready.
And I don't disagree that this could be a way
to economically revitalize Third Street promenade, and that's the goal.
I also and always think about the unintended consequences of
doing so. The whole idea, Hey, why don't we open
(13:04):
the club or why don't we have after hours until
four am?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And it says yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
On paper, it sounds like a great idea until you
actually see what it leads to. And I use this
example all the time and it's crass. I know it's chauvinistic,
but damn it, I want to do it again. Everybody
likes the idea of going to a lesbian club as
a guy in theory, the idea of it, okay, the
(13:31):
reality for a heterosexual guy, that's you roll in your
eyes at me, Mark Runner.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Please proceed. I want to hear where this goes. I
wanted to say, it's not as sexy as you think
it is. I don't know, Mom, I'm just telling you.
I'm just telling you the way you don't know the way.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Tal about an the analogy and if that really applies,
because here in southern California we have quite possibly the
most dead night life out of every metropolitan city in
the country.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
We literally do, because we shut down. We're everywhere else
except for dry towns. That no one goes to anyway.
Everywhere else stays open super late. They look at us like,
what do you mean it's two o'clock and the club
is shut? Now, what do you mean is is one o'clock?
You're doing last call? I we suffer. LA is not
a tourist destination for young people, for families.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yes, no one has brought up the obvious. And all
of these other towns that you talk about, they have
kind of an embedded mass transit system.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
H Vegas is cab and metro City gets tabs and
this and the other. We still have to build the infrastructure.
Why do you think LA is going so hog wild
with green lighting self driving autonomous taxis and self driving
autonomous transportation vehicles. Those twelve hundred who just got recalled
(15:00):
of those twelve hundred, none of those which are on
the road.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You mean, which which the twelve hundred? Which the crashes
which the corrective prose?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
No, it was not twelve hundred crashes. No, no, no, you did.
You weren't even honest enough to let us know about
the crash.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No mode I literally we're gonna get there. I'm telling
you it was it wasn't twelve hundred crashes. It was
a series of crashes. No, no, no, no, a series of
crashes into things like chains and going over going through
gates and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
No, no, no, no, that's basic test.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
But but you know what they did, mo, you know
what they did, so you want to go there. You
know what they did.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
They recalled twelve hundred plus cars that needed the programming update.
It was a programming update. And guess what, Guess what,
guess what, guess what. Those vehicles are back on the road.
Humans don't need programming updates. They don't. They humans need
their driver's license is taken away because you know what
we do. We drive recklessly and we just kill each other.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That's what we do. Mark.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
We don't need extra killing. But what we do need
is belligerent, violent drunks that can compete with any major
metropolitan area in the world. Hello, hey, thank you, hey,
these we are the only one suffering. We're the only uh,
major metropolitan area that's not just making money hand or
a fist like everyone else.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I will say this Third Street Promenade wasn't always struggling,
And when it wasn't struggling, it wouldn't. It was not
because they didn't have after hours or they didn't have
the ability to walk around, which drinks for everyone. There
is a way around this. I don't think it's going
to yield the type of results that it helps.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Uh, look, I think they've traded one problem for another.
Will it help business, yeah, will it help crime yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Will it help the issues of public drunkenness?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
You know, hey, look, you know no one is is
skipping flights to Miami.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Miami and Santa Monica are not the same. The moment
you got the tied hotel or the Marlin. You know,
you got women in thong beginnings walking around. How are
we not going to have that? We don't build it up.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You have to have nice places for the thongs to
go to. Where are the thos going right now?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Right now, the thogs are stepping over feces and poop
because they can't clean it up.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You know what you do.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
You put some nice restaurants, You put some nice shoreline activities,
bars and all types of teaki stands.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
And next thing, you know, you said, you know that
Thurstreet Promenade is not that close to sam.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No, no, no, no, no, I know that.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
What I'm saying is you have to have a beta
testing area, a controlled environment to test the public drunkenness.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
What the people can see the chat right now, everyone's
throwing off hearts and hundreds and smiley faces for.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I'm trying to tell you it's coming. Huh.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I mean it's about six forty. We're live everywhere in
I Heart Radio Appuh, Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Just get out of there. Yeah, get them out of there.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Mister mo Kelly here.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
We're live on YouTube, iHeartRadio app and Instagram Live. If
you want to reach out, please do we have a
chat which is going back and forth. We're having all
sorts of fun and sidebar conversations. Feel free to join in.
And at the top of the show, I had made
mention that we were going to talk about what is
happening with Rite Aid. They are closing stores all around
(18:29):
the country and if you've been paying attention, they've really
been disappearing here in southern California. And I would go
to Write Aid fairly often if you needed something as
far as a prescription filled, or you needed something like
toiletries whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Right Aid was the place to go.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And then you had Amazon and that pretty much put
a lot of these places out of business.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
But also folks like me with to write aid.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
When I was living in Harbor City, there was one
right on the corner of of.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It was pch and Normandy Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, no, excuse me, Pch and Vermont, and that's where
I'd get my ice cream. Always cookies and cream, Always
cookies and cream. It was on the way home. It
was very close to my house. It was great, it
was inexpensive. And then they shut that right right Aid
down and I said, well, there's one more right Aid,
(19:27):
which was then in my neighborhood. It was on Supulvita Boulevard,
thirty eight hundred block of Suppolvita in Torrance. If you
live out in South Bay, you know exactly where that
right Aid is. Oops was because right A is going
to be closing down another seventy or so stores across
(19:48):
the dation, but one of them, actually two of them
here in California. There's a thirty eight sixty Supovita Boulevard
in Torrents which is going to be closed, and the
fifty seventy five olive Hurst Avenue in Olivehurst. I don't
know where the hell that is.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I don't know where that is, but I think the
first one is the one that that I live next to. Yeah,
if you live in Torrance, you know that right egg. Yeah,
it's right there. It's right next to the lumb It's
it's huge. Yeah, it's huge. It's pretty big.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yes, that's the place where I would stop and get
my ice creaming that kind of thing. But they're closing
it down, and look, I need somever to look up.
I want to do it right now. Where the hell
that's what I'm googling. Where the hell is olive Hurst.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Olivehurst is right over there in Yuba County, Yuba County, Yes, OLiS, California. Yes,
it's exact where it is. I'm sorry, I've been here
fifty five years. I have no idea about any Olivehurst,
of course, because it's six hours away from where we are.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, okay, it's like the Bay Area.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Okay, but I know Blajo, I know San Jose, I
know Stocked. It tucked in there. It's tucked right in
very small city.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Clearly, clearly like minuscule. Yeah, I've never heard of olive Hurst.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Population of a nineteen thousand, oh seventy one, nineteen thousand,
seventy one.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Okay, Burbank has about one hundred thousand, So put that
in perspective. Nineteen thousand is it's a small town, it's
a neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
This is just part of your overall anti olive pathology.
But they can't stand them on pizzas. You don't like
towns named after you know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
That our studios are on what what avenue? It must
kill you to come into work every single every single day.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, I hate them almost At least they didn't say
black olive Hurst.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's implied. Oh anyhow, no, don't you. I was trying
to stop you.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But the good news is only two write days in
California are listed amongst these next closures. In Pennsylvania, they're
closing like twenty no, no, actually thirty in Pennsylvania between
Philadelphia and the different suburbs. Two in New Hampshire, two
in the state of New York, eight in the state
(22:09):
of Oregon, Virginia four and mark they're closing six in
the state of Washington. They'll get by, and I need
you to help me with some of these cities in
the state of Washington, whether you've heard of them.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Sure, what have you got? There's snow quality snowquall me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
What's up in the in the mountains by the pass? Okay,
see you're somewhat useful. Kingston, you got that, well done.
Yelm again once again, well done? And a Cortes and courts. Okay,
Granite Falls, you were all over that one. What about
omach or is it omc Omac?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah? See I couldn't get that one right. No, No,
I just gave you a little push in the right direction,
like off a cliff. These are all real cities or
they like just small towns. It's the range. Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I haven't been to all of them. Yeah, like I
haven't been to Olivehurst. But no, you are destined to
go to Olivehurst. I don't think so. And I want
to play a role. I know something that's going to
get married there.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
So we've been to Fresno. No, that's not far off.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And they're going to serve pizza for you there in
olive Hurst and you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It's time to go to break. I feel like I'm
being mocked. I feel like i'm being.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
We respect too much just because I don't like olives
green or black.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We had pizza this weekend with green and black olives
on it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
That's a you problem. Dog? Oh it was delicious. Who
had that? Who actually gets pizza with both all of them?
And why? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It was good? Type of weird, it wasn't. I just
want to know why? Wait a second, at two touala.
We have always been consistent on this.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, there's no love for one black isles personally, period
pizza in a jar, just in a store shelf. No,
they should be banned. But but but but you had
also greenoules on there. Yeah, it was just a random
substitution because I didn't want green peppers, and like fine
(24:08):
on a combo pizza. It turned out to be magnificent.
Why are you telling them that lie? I urge everyone
listening to you know you don't know you're lying.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
No one in their right mind puts green and black
olives on a pizza ingested and say, oh that was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No, no, I'm too lazy to concoct a decent lie.
It's one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Maybe you have no taste. Have you ever considered that
not for one instant. No, it was delicious, and I
brought some into work on Monday because I wanted to
have it a second day.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Can we get pizza? No? Mark just killed it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Laurie Coleman on the YouTube chat says, yuck, no olives
sorry Mark. Stephen Magram says question not even black olives
on inchiladas Tuala No. I really don't like them either,
do I. I'll pick those out in a heartbeat. I
will heartbeat. Henry Uchiyama says pick and save is better.
(25:04):
Going back to Right eight. They do kind of different things. Yeah,
you know they can say I've done.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
So they're long gone. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I would make a decision to go to Rite Aid
because I wanted ice cream and I didn't want to
just go for ice creams know what, while I'm here,
I get some some toilet papers, some cup of noodles.
Some in my heart so yeah, in my head, as
a kid thrift, you just meant ice cream.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Mario says Right eight is my pharmacy and that's where
I usually buy my alcohol, which kind of goes and
they have a medical selection.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh, they have a very nice alcohol selection. Let me
tell you who's cheaper to pharmacy.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
No, No, I don't know about cheaper. It was better
than going to the liquor store, that's for sure. They
definitely have more, They have more, and there.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Isn't Yes, yes, but I would say cheaper than a
liquor store.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, probably, yeah, probably. So be sure to check out
the YouTube chat. You can engage us there. We'll respond
as you can see, and here there you can gauge
us in the Instagram live on that chat as well.
So we're going to keep it going. When we come back,
we have to talk about this southern California DoorDash driver
(26:21):
who is trying to cheat the company out of two
point five million dollars. And when I tell you about it,
you'll realize they almost got away with it.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Mister mo Kelly Here, we're live on YouTube, the iHeartRadio
app and Instagram Live.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
And I've never been all that high on DoorDash.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
There's something about people doing shopping for me, picking my food,
choosing my food items.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's never sit sat well with me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And when I read stories like this, it just makes
it even more difficult for me to use a company
like DoorDash.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Nothing personal, DoorDash. I'm just saying I have issues.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But a duport beachman has pleaded guilty, in fact yesterday
to conspiring to steal more than two point five million
dollars from door dash. To his name, I can't really
pronounce it. Okay, go slow, Okay, it's four names.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Say Chaitanya, Ready, Devagherieh or some approximation of that. Thirty
years old admitted he worked with several others in a
scheme to cause DoorDash to pay for deliveries that never occurred.
He's facing twenty years in prison and a fine of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Here's how it worked, or almost worked. This crew of
people created fake customer and driver accounts. First, they would
charge high dollar orders to customer accounts. Then, using the
credentials of the employee they were working with, they would
manually reassign orders to driver accounts that they controlled.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Let me just put parenthetical here.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The moment they used their own employee credentials or someone's
employee credentials, it's created a digital trail which led back
to them.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That was probably one of their main mistakes.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
But anyhow, the fake driver accounts would report the status
of the fictitious orders as delivered, causing a payment to
go through to those driver accounts. They would then further
manipulate door dashes software to toggle the status of the
fake orders from delivered to end process. From there, they'd
reassign the order to another driver account they controlled. This
(28:37):
triggered multiple payments on an individual non existent order. In
other words, they'd have an order delivered, fake order delivered,
it would show delivered to get paid, then they would
toggle it back to in progress, and then it'd be
delivered again and it would get paid again, and they
toggled it back to in process, and they kept doing
it over and over and over again, and it was
(28:59):
repeated hundreds of time.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
For many of the orders.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
There were five people around the same age who were charged,
but it's not clear whether they knew each other, but
clearly if I could pronounce the names, you would see
that they probably knew each other on some level. On
some level, they have a court date of July twenty second,
and I just remember for my time on a federal
grand jury this type of fraud.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Oh, they've got you. Oh, they've got you.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
They have all the digital evidence that they need, They
have the trail of it, and it's going to lead
back to them individually and collectively. And it's just a
matter of whether they want to avoid the twenty years
in prison, which means trying to find some sort of
plea deal. That's the only way out. Otherwise they will
do that time and they'll do all of that time. Ah,
(29:51):
you know, get better schemes. I mean, it wasn't a
bad scheme, but you know it was always going to
lead back to you because of the digital trail. I
want to know is who possibly worked at door dash
or with door Dash close enough to learn about their
back end procedures to know that they could do this.
(30:13):
They probably had some inside help. I don't think they
figured this out all on their own. As an end user,
does this make you hesitant to use door Dash? I
was always hesitant anyhow. This just gave me another reason
not to use it, because it seems like if it's
that easy to gain the system, not only am I
concerned about some random person doing shopping for me, I
(30:36):
need to worry about my account being compromised or used
in some sort of felonious way that I'd have to
end up paying for.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Were talking about this last night, because all of us
are so easily suggestible when it comes to food. We
decided we wanted tacos, and that's what shut it down.
We're not going to use like uber eats or door dash.
I've done it on occasion. I've used Uber eats, I
want to say, maybe five or six times. No, maybe
seven or eight times, but not a lot. And then
(31:04):
the surch charges have been more and more, seemingly higher
and higher, and I said, I don't need to do this.
It's not actually adding any convenience and it's costing more.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'll just get my ass in a car.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, it's really meant for if you are like too
inebriated to drive, That's what it's meant for.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Because yeah, it is so expensive.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It really is, and you don't even see it until
you get your food. It's like, wait a minute, I
thought I was only paying like twenty three dollars. No,
it was thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, Like whoa cheeseburger and fries cost you like nine
bucks after the whole every service charge, you're paying like
thirty bucks. That seems insane to me, Like, unless you're
a transplant surgeon, nobody's that busy.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Nobody is.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
But it wasn't always that expensive, especially during the pandemic.
It was actually reasonable because a lot of businesses they
gave discounts, there were coupons depended on them. Yeah, they
needed that type of business, and so during the pandemic
it made a whole lot more. Since now it doesn't
make any sense, not financially, it's not as much you're
(32:11):
not saving money, you're not saving time really, because it's
still takes an inordinate amount of time for your order
to get in and also get your food back to you,
depending on where you're living.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
South.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
I've just never been in that kind of position. And also,
let's just be honest, I'm a cheap skate. I just
haven't had that kind of money to burn. Like, if
you want something to eat, pay twice as much as
it's worth so somebody will bring it to you.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Look, I mean we'll get food here and we'll get
pizza delivered, but that's about as far as we go
for the most part. We'll have to walla go out
and get the food, but we're not ordering door dash.
Tacos sound really good right now? Yeah, go ahead, Stefan,
We'll mind the board for you. Yeah, could you'll watch
it pick us up some tacos. Please tell tawala okay okay.
(32:58):
If I am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (33:00):

of like that. Keep it fun.

We're live everywhere on iHeartRadio app. We're live on YouTube

simulcast of the show at mister mo Kelly, m R
m O k e l l Y. Let's say you
can't get on YouTube, you might be able to get
on Instagram at mister Kelly m R M O K
e l l Y. Got a big show tonight, got
(00:43):
a big, big, big show. And what I mean by
that is a lot of pithy issues to sync our
teeth into. You know how they were talking about possibly
allowing people to drink in public and Santa Monica, well
that's going to become a reality. That passed yesterday. Santa
Monica City Council passed it. We'll talk about that next segment.
(01:05):
And if you're like me, you probably grew up loving
thrifty ice cream and it used to be you would
get thrifty ice cream at right aid and other places.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Now there's a question as to.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Whether we will be able to get thrifty ice cream
because more and more right aids have been set to close.
We're going to tell you where they're closing and whether
that impacts how you get thrifty ice cream going forward?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
No, no, yes, yes, yes, uh huh yes.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I remember thrifty ice cream when it was only fifteen cents.
Let's scoop. It's like maybe a dollar an hour or
something like that. I don't know, it's not much. It's
not much. And whenever I go, it's cookies and cream.
But the last two ride aids that I would go
to get thrifty ice cream. They've been since closed down.
We'll talk about that at the bottom of the hour.
And did you hear about the story where a sol
(02:02):
Caw door Dash driver tried to cheat door Dash out
of two point five million dollars million dollars. We'll tell
you about that, and the nice exercise lady will be
back with us at the top of the second hour,
Claudine Cooper. We're gonna talk about all things teen wellness.
When she joins us, it's Wednesday. Tiffany Hobbs joins us
(02:24):
in the studio. In fact, she's already here. I don't
know why she's here, sodam early. Why is she here
so early?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
She's recording an interview for Saturdays with Tiffany Oh Okay, yeah,
you just outed her. But okay, I mean she's just
like you Mo, never not working well.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No, I look, I'm not gonna hate the you know,
the the work ethics.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That just I didn't know why she was here.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So all your protegees work hard, all right, except for
I won't say that.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Ice cree was five cents when you were a kid. Yeah,
fifteen cents was a triple.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I remember fifteen cents, so I mean at one point
it may have been five since I'm just saying I
don't remember it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Being seventy five.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It was talking about thrifty ice cream five cents, ten cents,
fifteen cents.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And when was it fifteen cents for triple back in
seventy five?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Seventy five? Yep, oh my goodness. Oh and I'm twala.
We're gonna put this whole Waymo thing to bed once again,
you may think so. Tonight, though, we're gonna tell you
about how more than twelve hundred Waymol taxis have been recalled.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Why Mark Rodger, do you know why?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Let me see if I can guess they're unreliable, no
minor crashes.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
My probably is wait a minute, you're recalling twelve hundred
vehicles over minor crashes that you clearly did not report
to the public. Okay, so they were gaming the system.
They had this full sense of a reliability. They're not trustworthy.
Absolute hogwash. I put this on the on the run
(03:58):
the show for a reason.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
This story does not in any way, damn the process
of Weymo. No any recall of twelve hundred because of crash.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh, I can't wait. When are we talking about this?
Oh it's gonna be bottom of the third hour.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay, let's go between now and can we find out
if Waymo has given Tula a luxury jet. I'm not
a president of any such country that could accept the jet.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, but you could be bribed, that's for damn sure. Look,
there's no bribery need. This story actually vindicates itself. I'm
ready for you the Look, you must be the Ministry
of Information if you think that a twelve hundred vehicle
recall is somehow good news.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Hey, you know what it is. This actually is.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And we're going to close out the show tonight with
my final thought regarding Pete Rose and his removal from
the permanently ineligible lists to being able to be considered
for the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Doesn't mean
that he's going in, but a huge hurdle has been crossed.
He could be in the Hall of Fame before the
(05:05):
end of this calendar year. Will close out the show
with my thoughts on that. So there's so much to discuss.
There's so much that I need to do to make
sure that Twala is wrong tonight regarding Waymo, There's so
much we have to talk about, regarding drinking in Santa Monica,
write Aid Thrifty ice Cream, Health and Wellness with Claudie
(05:26):
and Cooper, the Viral Load with Tiffany Hobbs and of
course Pete Rose.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That's all coming up tonight.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And be sure you check out our live video feed
on both Instagram and YouTube at mister bo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And make sure that you subscribe.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Make sure that you like so when you come back
each and every night, because I know you will, you'll
be easier to find this show. You won't have to search,
You'll just come up in your subscribe places as far
as YouTube the channels that you want to watch. It
makes it so much easier, it's so much better, and
it's an interactive show. You will have Carniesha, who's managing
the YouTube chat. She'll be responding on behalf of me.
(06:04):
I will be responding Tawaula. Eventually we'll jump in there
and respond. I know Stephan is in there responding. Tiffany
Hops from a viral load will be in the chat
as well. Claudie Cooper will be in the chat. So
it's a good way to not only hang out with us,
but to talk to us. You can't do this anywhere else.
It's Later with Moe Kelly KFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We're live on YouTube, We're live on Instagram, We're live
on the iHeartRadio app. And I've never been a real
fan of public drinking. I personally think you should do
it in your house. I think you should keep it
in the bar. I think you should keep it in
the restaurant. That's just me personally. Yes, I've been to
Vegas many times and I see people walking around with
(06:56):
their beverages going from casino to casino.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Not a foreign phenomenon. To me, I'm just not a fan.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Of it because I get to see people at their
worst with liquor in their system, and you're giving them
a level of freedom to do even worse than what
they already were planning to do. And I mentioned that
because Santa Monica officials have passed the public drinking zone
proposal for Third Street Promenade. And if you've lived in
(07:25):
La your whole life, you probably have been to Like me,
at least you've been to Third Street Promenade. It used
to be very happening back in the late nineties early
two thousands. It was a great place to shop. They
had nice evening restaurants. You could go get something to eat.
They had some night spots as well, you could hang out.
I used to promote some clubs over in the Third
(07:47):
Street Promenade, so I had a reason to be over
there a few times a month. It was really cool,
and then in recent years it started dying out. And
I understand why Santa Monica wants to revitalize this Third
Street promenade. I just don't know if this is going
to be the way to do it. The thurs Street Promenade,
(08:08):
with the approval of this proposal will let visitors sip
alcoholic drinks as they stroll through downtown. Santa Monica City
Council last night approved the designation of Santa Monica's Entertainment
Zone to allow folks twenty one and over to purchase
alcoholic drinks from licensed and participating businesses and consume it outdoors.
(08:31):
If you're wondering how large is this entertainment zone, the
zone will span across the twelve hundred to fourteen hundred
blocks of the promenade between Wiltshire and Broadway. And if
you've ever walked Third Street Promenade, just think of Third
Street Promenada's right there. And it's going to start next
month Fridays through Sundays from six pm to two am.
(08:52):
They don't say when exactly in June, but it will
be Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday nights from six
pm to two am. If you plan to partake, you'll
have a special wristband and there will be, according to
this extra security presence to ensure people are drinking responsibly.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Wink wink. I don't know if this is going to
bring back the night life. I honestly don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I see this as LA looking at what other coastal
and beach cities are doing to keep their nightlife alive.
Alive in South Beach, which we have both been to
talk about. All along South Beach they are sipping on
humah homas until walking up and down the beach. Why
(09:41):
not have LA with venice beats at Monica Beach, Huntington Beach,
all the beach cities and coastal areas. Why not have
them also be able to participate and partake in adult
beverage drinking.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Wall out about Stephan go ahead? And then I got
a response to twelve.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah. No, I was to say, isn't South He's the
one where they'll serve alcohol til four and then they'll
just switch.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Over the breast. Yes, yes, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Glorious, but they're also hotels there, which line the beach
should also.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I think it's Ocean Avenue.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
From y Yeah, Collins, Collins and Ocean. The point is
it's a different topography. That's the only way I can
describe it. When you're talking about Third Street Promenade, if
you have been to both, you can compare both. You're
only talking about maybe a handful of bars, a handful
of restaurants and there's not a long avenue for people
(10:34):
to walk. They would stay in a relatively confined area,
which is good, but it also suggested it's not all
that necessary.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Right now, We've got to read the tea leaves. Okay,
this is forecasting. This is Santa Monica saying we will
be the beta test in this, because again, what Santa
Monica and Third Street Promenade is saying is our night
life has died out. A lot of coastal towns here
(11:05):
in southern California are facing similar issues with not having
a vibrant nightlife, even though they have these restaurants that
they try to attract to the beaches and along the
shores and stuff so people can go hang out and
party and do all that. But we're whack. Everything closes early.
All this is tied into the leaving bars open later.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
All of that.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They need LA to be at least competitive with Miami,
with New York, where the bars don't shut down they
stop serving alcohol like four in the morning in New York.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Why should we be any different.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I hear that, and I understand that, and I'm also
sympathetic to that. For businesses to remain open, I don't
know if there is such a thing as a social ethic.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I don't know if LA fits that social ethic.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't know if LA is an all night town
in a way that New York or Miami Las Vegas
is New York the city that never sleeps. That that
means something that is, that's a real thing. And LA
we're so very spread out. We have these neighborhoods and pockets,
not necessarily a unified city ethos.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I don't know what that works. Maybe if you were
to build up.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That Third Street promenade districted and makes it a little
more inviting and it caters more to that younger demographic
because we're not really talking about the fifty enough crowd.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We don't want to deal with that. No, we're not going.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
But you also have to be ready for the inherent issues.
Because I've been in New York all night. I know
what that leads to. I've been to Miami night hell
a lot of places where you could drink all night,
all night. But if you build it, they will come.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And look, and when they do, be ready, be ready.
And I don't disagree that this could be a way
to economically revitalize Third Street promenade, and that's the goal.
I also and always think about the unintended consequences of
doing so. The whole idea, Hey, why don't we open
(13:04):
the club or why don't we have after hours until
four am?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And it says yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
On paper, it sounds like a great idea until you
actually see what it leads to. And I use this
example all the time and it's crass. I know it's chauvinistic,
but damn it, I want to do it again. Everybody
likes the idea of going to a lesbian club as
a guy in theory, the idea of it, okay, the
(13:31):
reality for a heterosexual guy, that's you roll in your
eyes at me, Mark Runner.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Please proceed. I want to hear where this goes. I
wanted to say, it's not as sexy as you think
it is. I don't know, Mom, I'm just telling you.
I'm just telling you the way you don't know the way.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Tal about an the analogy and if that really applies,
because here in southern California we have quite possibly the
most dead night life out of every metropolitan city in
the country.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
We literally do, because we shut down. We're everywhere else
except for dry towns. That no one goes to anyway.
Everywhere else stays open super late. They look at us like,
what do you mean it's two o'clock and the club
is shut? Now, what do you mean is is one o'clock?
You're doing last call? I we suffer. LA is not
a tourist destination for young people, for families.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yes, no one has brought up the obvious. And all
of these other towns that you talk about, they have
kind of an embedded mass transit system.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
H Vegas is cab and metro City gets tabs and
this and the other. We still have to build the infrastructure.
Why do you think LA is going so hog wild
with green lighting self driving autonomous taxis and self driving
autonomous transportation vehicles. Those twelve hundred who just got recalled
(15:00):
of those twelve hundred, none of those which are on
the road.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You mean, which which the twelve hundred? Which the crashes
which the corrective prose?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
No, it was not twelve hundred crashes. No, no, no, you did.
You weren't even honest enough to let us know about
the crash.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No mode I literally we're gonna get there. I'm telling
you it was it wasn't twelve hundred crashes. It was
a series of crashes. No, no, no, no, a series of
crashes into things like chains and going over going through
gates and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
No, no, no, no, that's basic test.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
But but you know what they did, mo, you know
what they did, so you want to go there. You
know what they did.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
They recalled twelve hundred plus cars that needed the programming update.
It was a programming update. And guess what, Guess what,
guess what, guess what. Those vehicles are back on the road.
Humans don't need programming updates. They don't. They humans need
their driver's license is taken away because you know what
we do. We drive recklessly and we just kill each other.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That's what we do. Mark.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
We don't need extra killing. But what we do need
is belligerent, violent drunks that can compete with any major
metropolitan area in the world. Hello, hey, thank you, hey,
these we are the only one suffering. We're the only uh,
major metropolitan area that's not just making money hand or
a fist like everyone else.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I will say this Third Street Promenade wasn't always struggling,
And when it wasn't struggling, it wouldn't. It was not
because they didn't have after hours or they didn't have
the ability to walk around, which drinks for everyone. There
is a way around this. I don't think it's going
to yield the type of results that it helps.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Uh, look, I think they've traded one problem for another.
Will it help business, yeah, will it help crime yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Will it help the issues of public drunkenness?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
You know, hey, look, you know no one is is
skipping flights to Miami.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Miami and Santa Monica are not the same. The moment
you got the tied hotel or the Marlin. You know,
you got women in thong beginnings walking around. How are
we not going to have that? We don't build it up.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You have to have nice places for the thongs to
go to. Where are the thos going right now?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Right now, the thogs are stepping over feces and poop
because they can't clean it up.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You know what you do.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
You put some nice restaurants, You put some nice shoreline activities,
bars and all types of teaki stands.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
And next thing, you know, you said, you know that
Thurstreet Promenade is not that close to sam.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No, no, no, no, no, I know that.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
What I'm saying is you have to have a beta
testing area, a controlled environment to test the public drunkenness.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
What the people can see the chat right now, everyone's
throwing off hearts and hundreds and smiley faces for.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I'm trying to tell you it's coming. Huh.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I mean it's about six forty. We're live everywhere in
I Heart Radio Appuh, Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Just get out of there. Yeah, get them out of there.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Mister mo Kelly here.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
We're live on YouTube, iHeartRadio app and Instagram Live. If
you want to reach out, please do we have a
chat which is going back and forth. We're having all
sorts of fun and sidebar conversations. Feel free to join in.
And at the top of the show, I had made
mention that we were going to talk about what is
happening with Rite Aid. They are closing stores all around
(18:29):
the country and if you've been paying attention, they've really
been disappearing here in southern California. And I would go
to Write Aid fairly often if you needed something as
far as a prescription filled, or you needed something like
toiletries whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Right Aid was the place to go.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And then you had Amazon and that pretty much put
a lot of these places out of business.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
But also folks like me with to write aid.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
When I was living in Harbor City, there was one
right on the corner of of.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It was pch and Normandy Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, no, excuse me, Pch and Vermont, and that's where
I'd get my ice cream. Always cookies and cream, Always
cookies and cream. It was on the way home. It
was very close to my house. It was great, it
was inexpensive. And then they shut that right right Aid
down and I said, well, there's one more right Aid,
(19:27):
which was then in my neighborhood. It was on Supulvita Boulevard,
thirty eight hundred block of Suppolvita in Torrance. If you
live out in South Bay, you know exactly where that
right Aid is. Oops was because right A is going
to be closing down another seventy or so stores across
(19:48):
the dation, but one of them, actually two of them
here in California. There's a thirty eight sixty Supovita Boulevard
in Torrents which is going to be closed, and the
fifty seventy five olive Hurst Avenue in Olivehurst. I don't
know where the hell that is.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I don't know where that is, but I think the
first one is the one that that I live next to. Yeah,
if you live in Torrance, you know that right egg. Yeah,
it's right there. It's right next to the lumb It's
it's huge. Yeah, it's huge. It's pretty big.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yes, that's the place where I would stop and get
my ice creaming that kind of thing. But they're closing
it down, and look, I need somever to look up.
I want to do it right now. Where the hell
that's what I'm googling. Where the hell is olive Hurst.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Olivehurst is right over there in Yuba County, Yuba County, Yes, OLiS, California. Yes,
it's exact where it is. I'm sorry, I've been here
fifty five years. I have no idea about any Olivehurst,
of course, because it's six hours away from where we are.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, okay, it's like the Bay Area.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Okay, but I know Blajo, I know San Jose, I
know Stocked. It tucked in there. It's tucked right in
very small city.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Clearly, clearly like minuscule. Yeah, I've never heard of olive Hurst.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Population of a nineteen thousand, oh seventy one, nineteen thousand,
seventy one.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Okay, Burbank has about one hundred thousand, So put that
in perspective. Nineteen thousand is it's a small town, it's
a neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
This is just part of your overall anti olive pathology.
But they can't stand them on pizzas. You don't like
towns named after you know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
That our studios are on what what avenue? It must
kill you to come into work every single every single day.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, I hate them almost At least they didn't say
black olive Hurst.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's implied. Oh anyhow, no, don't you. I was trying
to stop you.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But the good news is only two write days in
California are listed amongst these next closures. In Pennsylvania, they're
closing like twenty no, no, actually thirty in Pennsylvania between
Philadelphia and the different suburbs. Two in New Hampshire, two
in the state of New York, eight in the state
(22:09):
of Oregon, Virginia four and mark they're closing six in
the state of Washington. They'll get by, and I need
you to help me with some of these cities in
the state of Washington, whether you've heard of them.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Sure, what have you got? There's snow quality snowquall me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
What's up in the in the mountains by the pass? Okay,
see you're somewhat useful. Kingston, you got that, well done.
Yelm again once again, well done? And a Cortes and courts. Okay,
Granite Falls, you were all over that one. What about
omach or is it omc Omac?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah? See I couldn't get that one right. No, No,
I just gave you a little push in the right direction,
like off a cliff. These are all real cities or
they like just small towns. It's the range. Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I haven't been to all of them. Yeah, like I
haven't been to Olivehurst. But no, you are destined to
go to Olivehurst. I don't think so. And I want
to play a role. I know something that's going to
get married there.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
So we've been to Fresno. No, that's not far off.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And they're going to serve pizza for you there in
olive Hurst and you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It's time to go to break. I feel like I'm
being mocked. I feel like i'm being.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
We respect too much just because I don't like olives
green or black.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We had pizza this weekend with green and black olives
on it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
That's a you problem. Dog? Oh it was delicious. Who
had that? Who actually gets pizza with both all of them?
And why? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It was good? Type of weird, it wasn't. I just
want to know why? Wait a second, at two touala.
We have always been consistent on this.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, there's no love for one black isles personally, period
pizza in a jar, just in a store shelf. No,
they should be banned. But but but but you had
also greenoules on there. Yeah, it was just a random
substitution because I didn't want green peppers, and like fine
(24:08):
on a combo pizza. It turned out to be magnificent.
Why are you telling them that lie? I urge everyone
listening to you know you don't know you're lying.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
No one in their right mind puts green and black
olives on a pizza ingested and say, oh that was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No, no, I'm too lazy to concoct a decent lie.
It's one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Maybe you have no taste. Have you ever considered that
not for one instant. No, it was delicious, and I
brought some into work on Monday because I wanted to
have it a second day.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Can we get pizza? No? Mark just killed it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Laurie Coleman on the YouTube chat says, yuck, no olives
sorry Mark. Stephen Magram says question not even black olives
on inchiladas Tuala No. I really don't like them either,
do I. I'll pick those out in a heartbeat. I
will heartbeat. Henry Uchiyama says pick and save is better.
(25:04):
Going back to Right eight. They do kind of different things. Yeah,
you know they can say I've done.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
So they're long gone. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I would make a decision to go to Rite Aid
because I wanted ice cream and I didn't want to
just go for ice creams know what, while I'm here,
I get some some toilet papers, some cup of noodles.
Some in my heart so yeah, in my head, as
a kid thrift, you just meant ice cream.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Mario says Right eight is my pharmacy and that's where
I usually buy my alcohol, which kind of goes and
they have a medical selection.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh, they have a very nice alcohol selection. Let me
tell you who's cheaper to pharmacy.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
No, No, I don't know about cheaper. It was better
than going to the liquor store, that's for sure. They
definitely have more, They have more, and there.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Isn't Yes, yes, but I would say cheaper than a
liquor store.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, probably, yeah, probably. So be sure to check out
the YouTube chat. You can engage us there. We'll respond
as you can see, and here there you can gauge
us in the Instagram live on that chat as well.
So we're going to keep it going. When we come back,
we have to talk about this southern California DoorDash driver
(26:21):
who is trying to cheat the company out of two
point five million dollars. And when I tell you about it,
you'll realize they almost got away with it.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Mister mo Kelly Here, we're live on YouTube, the iHeartRadio
app and Instagram Live.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
And I've never been all that high on DoorDash.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
There's something about people doing shopping for me, picking my food,
choosing my food items.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's never sit sat well with me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And when I read stories like this, it just makes
it even more difficult for me to use a company
like DoorDash.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Nothing personal, DoorDash. I'm just saying I have issues.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But a duport beachman has pleaded guilty, in fact yesterday
to conspiring to steal more than two point five million
dollars from door dash. To his name, I can't really
pronounce it. Okay, go slow, Okay, it's four names.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Say Chaitanya, Ready, Devagherieh or some approximation of that. Thirty
years old admitted he worked with several others in a
scheme to cause DoorDash to pay for deliveries that never occurred.
He's facing twenty years in prison and a fine of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Here's how it worked, or almost worked. This crew of
people created fake customer and driver accounts. First, they would
charge high dollar orders to customer accounts. Then, using the
credentials of the employee they were working with, they would
manually reassign orders to driver accounts that they controlled.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Let me just put parenthetical here.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The moment they used their own employee credentials or someone's
employee credentials, it's created a digital trail which led back
to them.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That was probably one of their main mistakes.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
But anyhow, the fake driver accounts would report the status
of the fictitious orders as delivered, causing a payment to
go through to those driver accounts. They would then further
manipulate door dashes software to toggle the status of the
fake orders from delivered to end process. From there, they'd
reassign the order to another driver account they controlled. This
(28:37):
triggered multiple payments on an individual non existent order. In
other words, they'd have an order delivered, fake order delivered,
it would show delivered to get paid, then they would
toggle it back to in progress, and then it'd be
delivered again and it would get paid again, and they
toggled it back to in process, and they kept doing
it over and over and over again, and it was
(28:59):
repeated hundreds of time.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
For many of the orders.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
There were five people around the same age who were charged,
but it's not clear whether they knew each other, but
clearly if I could pronounce the names, you would see
that they probably knew each other on some level. On
some level, they have a court date of July twenty second,
and I just remember for my time on a federal
grand jury this type of fraud.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Oh, they've got you. Oh, they've got you.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
They have all the digital evidence that they need, They
have the trail of it, and it's going to lead
back to them individually and collectively. And it's just a
matter of whether they want to avoid the twenty years
in prison, which means trying to find some sort of
plea deal. That's the only way out. Otherwise they will
do that time and they'll do all of that time. Ah,
(29:51):
you know, get better schemes. I mean, it wasn't a
bad scheme, but you know it was always going to
lead back to you because of the digital trail. I
want to know is who possibly worked at door dash
or with door Dash close enough to learn about their
back end procedures to know that they could do this.
(30:13):
They probably had some inside help. I don't think they
figured this out all on their own. As an end user,
does this make you hesitant to use door Dash? I
was always hesitant anyhow. This just gave me another reason
not to use it, because it seems like if it's
that easy to gain the system, not only am I
concerned about some random person doing shopping for me, I
(30:36):
need to worry about my account being compromised or used
in some sort of felonious way that I'd have to
end up paying for.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Were talking about this last night, because all of us
are so easily suggestible when it comes to food. We
decided we wanted tacos, and that's what shut it down.
We're not going to use like uber eats or door dash.
I've done it on occasion. I've used Uber eats, I
want to say, maybe five or six times. No, maybe
seven or eight times, but not a lot. And then
(31:04):
the surch charges have been more and more, seemingly higher
and higher, and I said, I don't need to do this.
It's not actually adding any convenience and it's costing more.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'll just get my ass in a car.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, it's really meant for if you are like too
inebriated to drive, That's what it's meant for.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Because yeah, it is so expensive.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It really is, and you don't even see it until
you get your food. It's like, wait a minute, I
thought I was only paying like twenty three dollars. No,
it was thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, Like whoa cheeseburger and fries cost you like nine
bucks after the whole every service charge, you're paying like
thirty bucks. That seems insane to me, Like, unless you're
a transplant surgeon, nobody's that busy.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Nobody is.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
But it wasn't always that expensive, especially during the pandemic.
It was actually reasonable because a lot of businesses they
gave discounts, there were coupons depended on them. Yeah, they
needed that type of business, and so during the pandemic
it made a whole lot more. Since now it doesn't
make any sense, not financially, it's not as much you're
(32:11):
not saving money, you're not saving time really, because it's
still takes an inordinate amount of time for your order
to get in and also get your food back to you,
depending on where you're living.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
South.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
I've just never been in that kind of position. And also,
let's just be honest, I'm a cheap skate. I just
haven't had that kind of money to burn. Like, if
you want something to eat, pay twice as much as
it's worth so somebody will bring it to you.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Look, I mean we'll get food here and we'll get
pizza delivered, but that's about as far as we go
for the most part. We'll have to walla go out
and get the food, but we're not ordering door dash.
Tacos sound really good right now? Yeah, go ahead, Stefan,
We'll mind the board for you. Yeah, could you'll watch
it pick us up some tacos. Please tell tawala okay okay.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
