K IF.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I am six forty mister Mokeller here, we're live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. I could run down the show
for you tonight. But why, but why? Because all we
know we could have another earthquake. It would go right
out the window, just like it did last night. So
why even get your hopes up for what we're going
to do third hour? Let me take you behind the scenes.
(00:46):
Of course, we're talking about the earthquake which happened last
night at about nine o nine pm. There's what you
heard on the air, and then there's what was actually
happening in the studio in real time. Couldn't talk about
it last night, if only because it was happening and
it was live radio. We went straight to breaking news coverage.
(01:08):
But what was happening is you can't see our setup
unless you've watched maybe on Instagram Live. You can see
I can see Mark Ronner, and I can see Almer,
who's running the board tonight, via video screen. We have
cameras in a various studios. There's a studio for news,
there's a studio what we call air mix where they
(01:28):
do the technical aspect, and there's the main studio where
I have my microphone. I can see Mark, I can
see Elmer, and I can't remember what I was saying,
but I was talking and I could feel the table
and room shaking. Trying to be professional, I just can't
say earthquake. They can't do that. It could be a
(01:49):
truck driving by, or it could be someone running down
the hall. I just can't just yell earthquake, because why
some one hundred thousand people are listening. Yeah, I have
to be sure, and inevitably, whenever there is an earthquake,
we'll hear from you on Twitter, We'll hear from you
on Facebook. You'll text message to us and just say
did you feel that earthquake? And we have due diligence.
(02:12):
We have to be sure that it actually is an
earthquake before we can tell all of you it's an earthquake.
That would be unprofessional of us. We just started just
randomly screaming on the earthquake. You know, did you ever
see like World of the worlds orson Wells? Did you
hear what paddock that created? Not trying to do that,
So we have to be sure before we say anything.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Go ahead, Mark, if you're a professional in the radio business,
you know You can't just jump on the air at
the first sign of a quake and say, oh my god,
it's the big one.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We're all gonna die like Fred Sandford, you know. Oh no,
it's the big one. I'm coming to meet you. Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Can't do that, So you gotta be a little bit
more measured in your response. Gotta be measured, and you
have to be sure. We were looking for confirmation because
there are many times where something could happen in close
physical proximity to the student. Let's say it could have
been an explosion at a building because there were chemicals
and it had a chemical fire or something like that,
(03:06):
which has happened on occasion, and it may shake the building. Well,
that's not an earthquake, and then you've put out erroneous
information and you've misled people, and then our credibility goes
out the window. So we always have to be sure.
It's not about being first, it's about being accurate. Going
back to last night, after it was clear that it
(03:28):
was an earthquake and was unmistakable, if only because how
we were rolling. This building's on rollers, so there's a
to and fro sway to this and the duration of
it and we were confident that was an earthquake and
we could find twallat did you go to a quick bot?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Okay, so yeah, And also we talked about it last night.
There's a delay, So what you're hearing right now happened
thirty seconds ago. Which hearing right now that that happened
thirty seconds ago. It's almost like the speed of light
type thing. So we could be calm and wait a
second before we said it, and even when we did
(04:08):
say it was going to get to you a moment
or two after that, but we needed to be sure.
And when we were sure, then we went into what
we call breaking news coverage, like, okay, that was a
significant earthquake. We got to make sure we get as
much information as quickly and accurately as possible to you.
(04:28):
Mark Ronner sends the message, I assume correct me if
I'm wrong, down to the news editor whoever might be
working as a news editor, to get as much up
to date information as possible.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, can you get me something by the next break
et cetera, and so forth, And they're scrambling. Everybody scrambles
during breaking news, right, but there's a constant flow of communication.
It happened at nine oh nine, and you know we
usually go to news break. Thirteen minutes after the hour,
we got a text from our program director, who's probably
listening right now, Robin Berda Luci.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
He said, talk about it, Yes, Rob, we're going to
talk about there as way is in my mind. All right,
that's what the text message sounds like. And so we
what we call blew out the news break. We weren't
going to go to the news. We went straight to coverage.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And if you were paying attention, you realized, wait, they
didn't go to commercial for a long time, right.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That was intentional.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
We want to get as much information to you as
quickly as possible. Then we opened up the phones and
for the last half hour the show, we didn't go
to commercial. We wanted to hear from you, the listeners,
so a lot of our coverage. The whole point of
that was saying thank you for participating in making sure
we could get out as much information to people as possible.
We couldn't have done it without you. It's one thing
(05:41):
to report. Yeah, the earthquake was five point seven, then
it was downgraded to five point three. It was downgraded
to five point two, but it's much more compelling, and
it's much more I would say, enlightening when we get
to hear from people on the ground who were right there.
Maybe you were in your car, maybe you were at
home and you were startled awake. It was late enough
(06:02):
where I'm quite sure some people were asleep, but we
got a wide cross section of people all over southern California,
from I think Sherman Oaks to Bakerfield, Bakersfield near the epicenter,
and I think people listening they got a real sense
of how long this earthquake was experienced for just about
(06:22):
everyone and what wide area it covered. So that's just
to give you a little insight as far as what
was happening behind the scenes. Were we panicking, No, absolutely not.
But we've done this enough. In fact, that was not
the first time in which I've been on the air
when there was an earthquake. I can't remember what years,
maybe twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. I think it was like
in central California. There was an earthquake which happened and
(06:45):
we and it was strong enough that we felt it
here in southern California. And I remember I was right
in the middle of an interview, and again that was
one of the people that are like, talk about an earthquake.
It's like, Okay, we have to confirm that it's an earthquake.
And I remember I abruptly ended the interview and then
started talking about the earthquake. So yes, we were aware
as it was happening, but it takes a moment before
(07:07):
we can confirm and then switch gears. There was a
wonderful job done by the news department and Mark Ronner.
I say that because people don't see that, and they
don't know that, and I think it's important that we
acknowledge that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, thank you very much. I love working breaking news.
In My background is in newspapers and I've covered so
much breaking news that make your head spin. So when
something like that happens, I feel like I'm exactly in
the place where I need to be. And I you know,
I was thinking about this on the way home, and
I'm glad you brought it up to talk about today.
I know that listeners kind of have a radar for
(07:42):
when you're being cheesy and feeding them bs self promotion,
but last night was a classic example of how indispensable
local radio is.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Right, and we talk about the need to have AM
radio and people's cars. Last night, that was a perfect
time to remind people people needed to get information AM radio.
It's free, it's available, it's immediate. That's why we're here.
That's what we do. Not that I was going to
start an Instagram live last night during breaking news covers.
(08:12):
But if you could have seen what was going on,
you could have a great appreciation for how we do
what we do and why CAFI specifically does it so well.
And we do it because we have a responsibility to
you and thank you for always listening and supporting us.
I know that sounds cheesy to Mark's point, but it
(08:32):
is the truth. So that was just a little bit
of the behind the scenes. When we come back, we
have a metro update, so you know that means murdered, death, kill,
stab shooting, fight, homeless attacks. It was one of those.
It was one of those, and it happened in Pasadena.
We'll give you that update next. It looks like Chris
Little's bothering Mark.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So can I come to you now?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Mark?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Are you ready for the news? Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Apparently we just had a four point three earthquake about
aftershock or earthquake a four point three magnitude quake about
eighteen miles south of Baker's Field. I didn't feel a thing,
did you? What I didn't was it's souths Little insisted
he did.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He no, no, no, But I'm saying, if it happened
near Bakersfield, I'm kind to believe something. It's an aftershock
as opposed to a secondary, unrelated quake.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, in all fairness, Chris is far more sensitive.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, Chris, why don't you get on the microphone since
you're just gonna just bring the.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Whole show to a stop. Come on, over, Come on, Chris,
get on, get on, Get on, Like you don't want
to do the news breaker. You can't just stand there
and defy a host and get a little show. Look.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I was ready to toss to Mark, and now he
wants to walk out of the store. No, he's coming
to you, to you all right, No, we're gonna do
this for real. Yeah, move the microphone over. Let's have
Chris come in and sit down. He's not gonna come in.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Hey, can you hear me? I'm in here?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Okay, go ahead, Chris, okay, Well I really well, you
guys are talking earthquakes. I felt an earthquake. I wasn't
sure it was an earthquake, the quake bot. It wasn't
on there yet. And then I got a notification from
the USGS. Actually I searched the USGS. It wasn't there yet,
and then the notification came and I sent it to
(10:15):
Ronner and do Twala, who was mister earthquake.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I know what a well oiled machine.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
See there it is in real time.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It is very oily.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yes, yes, yes, quite ly.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
That's why I was standing over Mark's shoulder because I
sent him the email and said, hey, take a look
at this email. And so it was about eighteen miles
out of Bakersfield.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And I was vamping because I can see you talking
to Mark, and I'm just sort of like, okay, let
me just keep talking because Mark is not ready to
do the news because he's not even looking at me.
He's talking to you. So I can't TSS and go
to news because Mark is not ready to receive the time.
Both thought I was getting fired. Well he's not wrong,
he's not wrong. I just didn't think you'd get fired
(11:00):
on the air show. You can't tell me that's never
happened here.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, uh yeah, look at the time at the time.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh my goodness. Okay, I don't know if.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Anyone's ever been fired on the air that I'm aware of.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Mark, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Always looking to be a first Wait, not in the
news department, but not in the news.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yes, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I do know of a guy who was taken to
lunch before his shift and then he did not do
his shift.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
That was Tom Likeas.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, I recall this story.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Yes, I was working part time as an anchor and
David G. Hall went to lunch with Tom Likeas and
Tomkas did not come in after lunch.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Well, if he knew he was getting fired, why would
you come in and report to work.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Well, I don't think he knew he was getting fired,
because he got he came to lunch, he went to
lunch with with the boss, and then did not return.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I mean did not come back because he had no job.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Not only is that story a classic, but it never
fails to bust me up when Tim Conway Junior does
his likeus impression?
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Whose impression?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Like us?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
TWA? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You're listening to some right wing whacko or convicted felon no,
I am your host.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
See I remember all this stuff. Hey, can we go
to news now? Look at the.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Time you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Let's go to Pasadena Pasadena Metro station. A man was
apprehended early today after he attacked a woman at a
Metro station in Pasadena. It happened around five forty am
at the A Lines Allen station. Not much is known
or has been reported publicly, but according to Metro, La
(12:54):
County Sheriff's deputies quote unquote swiftly apprehended the suspect after
the incident.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
They're not telling us.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
What exactly happened or how badly the woman was injured,
but we do know that the woman was put in
the hospital and is in stable condition. So it was
more than a paper cut. Something bad happened to her
and she was sent to the hospital. But I don't
have a complete statement. But KBC ABC seven had this
(13:26):
to say as far as the Metro response, quote, Metro
wishes the woman a speedy and full recovery close quote.
So Metro basically gave their equivalent to a get well
card and posted that for the woman Metro wishes the
woman a speedy and full recovery. How about Metro is
(13:50):
a sorry ass agency for not doing more to protect you.
We apologize our bad I think that's more appropriate, right,
because that's more accurate about what happened. If metch you
had done more than it probably would have been less
of a likelihood of this happening. But you know, the
woman probably was going about her way, trying to go
to work. I don't know this for certain, but I
(14:13):
suspect that she was going to work at five point
forty in the morning, not going home, and she was
assaulted to some degree. Violence took place, ended up in
the hospital. But she did get a get well card
and a speedy and full recovery note from Metro that
should make her feel much better.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Was it a nice card? Was it an expensive card?
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
As far as I know, it was just in a statement.
She may not have received the card at all. It
just might have been a statement and her friend or
family member had to read it to her from the internet.
I don't know if they actually took that next step
and bought a card from CBS and had someone walk
it over to the hospital and hand it to her.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Maybe they left it at the front desk. Yeah, E
cards are way too cheap.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well, yeah, if you're in the hospital, you may not
have access to your phone. You know, you're sitting in
that gown. We don't know her condition. All we know
is that she's stable. And I'm not trying to make
fun of it, but I want to highlight the ridiculous
nature of how this is being characterized. You notice Metro
is being very clear about not being clear. They're not
(15:19):
trying to give us any real details as far as
what happened, why it happened. We know that La Shar's
deputies swiftly apprehended the suspect. Will clearly the Shares's deputies
saw it happen. That's how they swiftly apprehended the person.
They don't want to tell you because it would make
bad matters worse relative to public perception of the Metro.
(15:43):
Another day, another week, another assault, just a typical day
on Metro in southern California. I wish I had more,
But you know, what can I say other than there
will be another attack, probably this week is going to
get hurt on Metro, and all I can do is
say I told you so again for the forty fifth time.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You think Metro has a budget set aside for like
sending fruit baskets to victims and things like that. Oh,
I would think so, but I don't know if they do.
You know what I think it is. Do you remember
the movie.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
What's the one with the Kaijus and they had the
Jaegers and uh oh, Pacific Pacific rim. Do you think
they have this big clock at Metro like days since
someone's been attacked on the Metro and then they have
to reset it after each one.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
That would be exhausting. Well, yeah, they'd have to redo
it just about every single day.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, somebody'd have like one huge right arm from resetting
the hand all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's not even days, it's like hours since last last
attack on Metro. Yeah, well, let's start the clock again
and see if we can get through at least a
whole week without someone being harmed on Metro.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'm not taking that bet.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
You're listening to later with mo Kel on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You should not be surprised.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
California is one of the most expensive states in the
nation to start a family.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No one should be surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But according to wallet hub, it's really really expensive. And
the personal finance site ranked the best places in the
US to have a baby, analyzing all fifty states and Washington,
d C. Based on birthing costs, health care accessibility, and
other factors. And we now know where California is relative
(17:36):
to a good state or a bad state to start
a family. We'll give you the top ten and the
bottom ten, and we won't even bury the lead. California
is not in either, even though it's more expensive than
just about anywhere to raise a family or have a
baby because of birthing costs and hospital charges for conventional
(17:57):
and cesarean deliveries. We are tenth in terms of healthcare accessibility,
twenty third for baby friendliness, but overall we ranked thirtieth
out of fiftieth fifty states in Washington DC for having
a baby. So we're in a not quite in the
bottom third percentile.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
You just can't afford the house here after you have
the baby.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well it's either or you can have the baby or
you can have the house, but you won't have the
baby in the house, right, I'll wait.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Elmer was not even paying attention damn it. I worked hard,
doesn't care. Don't care, it doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Look, if you're gonna sit in that chair, and we
gotta know, you gotta be ready with the rim shot
because I'm working hard here, I'm using something, my best material,
and I need some acknowledgement because Mark Ronner is not
gonna give it to me.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
He rarely earns it, Elmer. Just so you know. Oh,
here we go, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Here are the ten best states and districts for those
having a baby, according to wallet Hub, coming in at
number ten, Mark ronnerd the state of Washington.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I believe that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Number nine Utah, Yeah, I believe that. Number eight Vermont,
don't know, never been there. Number seven Maine here, it's
(19:26):
beautiful there. I have no idea beyond that. Well, Stephen
King's there and he encourages procreation.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Really okay, I don't know. I just made that up.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I never believe anything you say. So you know, of course,
number six.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Washington DC.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Number five of the top ten best states and districts
for those having a baby according to the walle hub. This
is number five New Hampshire, so the Northeast coming in strong.
Number four Rhode Island. Look if you want to have
(20:11):
a baby, go to the east coast to northeast.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
This is for baby friendliness and overall calls and childcare
and all that, right, all that Rhode Island, the home
of HP Lovecraft. The great god Cuthulhu wants you to reproduce.
Only you would know that.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I mean, I know HP Lovecraft, but I wouldn't be
able to connect it to like Rhode Island. I'm trying
to contribute here. We're laughing at you, not with you. Mark,
You wouldn't dare please proceed? Number three, Tim Walls, I
mean Minnesota, number three, number two.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This seems like an odd one. North Dakota. What else
is there to do there? Honestly, well, yeah, baby friendliness, childcare.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You go ahead and make sense of that. I can't
make heads or tails of North Dakota. Given those other states,
it's a lot of It's a motherly community, mind, I'll
take your word for it, and number one of the
top ten best states and districts for those having a baby.
California came in at number thirty, but here is number one, Massachusetts.
(21:31):
Those liberals in the Northeast know how to take care
of a newborn baby.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Or not. I love that fanfare in my head. That's
the fanfare that plays when I would conceive marks that
paying attention. He's not paying attention. He's not paying attentions.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
He's got a thumb on the scale for you. My goodness, gracious. Okay,
here's the bottom ten. Here are the ten worst states
for those having a baby. Coming in at number ten,
Sarah Huckaby Sanders, I mean Arkansas, number ten. Yeah, number
(22:15):
nine of the worst state for having a baby, Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I'm sensing a trend here. Number eight.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Louisiana. Yeah, pattern consistent. Yeah, Number seven West Virginia. Okay,
Can I just make one political statement? Aren't these all
the biggest pro life states? Worst states to have a baby?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Okay? Want just just just I was just wonder if
there's any correlation. That's all all right? Number six.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Nevada. And it's not Nevada. It's Nevada, Nevada.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That should be number one. It didn't say raising a baby.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Since I have the baby there, I'm quite sure they
have hospitals and stuff in Nevada.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh god. No.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Number five of the top ten worst states for having
a baby. And we're back Georgia, number four in Nuevo Mexico,
(23:48):
New Mexico, coming in at number three of the worst
states to have a baby? No, South Carolina. Look, does
anyone want to say the quiet part out? Louder coming
in at number two according to the wallet Hub of
(24:10):
the top ten worst states for those having a baby
coming in at number two.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I love JACKSONI football football, real scare. It's almost like
there's a theme.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I can't quite put my finger on it. And coming
in at number one of the ten worst states for
having a baby in all the US and Washington DC
is is.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Does anyone want to make a guess? What southern state
have we not mentioned yet? Louisiana?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Have we done that?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
We mentioned Louisiana. That's number eight.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's all a blur?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I guess Okay, Well, coming in at number one is Mark.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I'm really disappointed in you. How could you not know
what was missing? Sippy? Oh it fits perfectly.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, Mississippi is at the bottom of every list. If
you want to know about the worst, this be it education.
You know, health, health does not matter, infant mortality, it's
it's Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The answer is always Mississippi. Well done, Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
There's no reason in the world. I ever want to
go to Mississippi for anything.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I don't think they want nothing. Drive through liquor store nada.
Wait wait did you just say drive through liquor the
drive through liquors? Drive through liquor stores. Okay, I got
to rethink this.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Like it's almost like you gotta you pull up to
the window.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, I'll take a Jack Daniels and a kettle wan
and let me make that two kettle ones?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And can I get some straws to that? Thank you
very much?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Is it in a container or do they just fling
it in? I think they have an open container.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Uh when we I drove through there and uh when
you live to tell about it.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, no, we drove through. We drove there.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Just in the daylight hours. We didn't stop it. It
was one of those that we had to stop and
get gassed during the day. And across the street we
saw people going through a liquor store and they had
to drive through. You could go inside, but you could
also pull up to a window, and they were handing
people bags.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Of liquor, kind of like McDonald's, except with liquor. Yeah,
lots of lot. You're kidding, but you're not numbly kidding, not,
I'm not. Yeah. I remember one time my family was
driving through Tennessee and this is nineteen eighty two. We
were coming back from a family reunion, talking about Route
sixty six and just driving across country we would oftentimes drive.
(26:35):
That was one time where I could tell my father
because it's my father, my mother, my older sister, and me,
where he was very concerned about getting through the state
as quickly as possible, as in before nightfall. I can't
remember the exact route, but he did not want to
have any type of entanglements with anyone. And we pulled
(26:58):
it to a gas station and I remember, as clear
as day there was this family and I remember the
back license plate. It was a Confederate flag, and they
were just staring at us, and my father was getting
gassed and he he.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Said something to the defecta, do not get out of
the car.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I maybe eleven or twelve at the time, and you
look back at it through adult eyes and you realize, like, Okay,
he saw what we were feeling, and you know it's
about protecting your family at that point. Yeah, I'm not
going to Mississippi for anything, nothing, not even for a
drive through liquor store.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Now you can go. You could bring me back something mark,
you know, I don't think they'd want me there either.
To tell you the truth, well, I think you could pass.
You could, you could infiltrate, I could pass. Can't buy
AM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
You're on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Why don't you just travel over to Late with mo
Kelly or at mister Mokelly. We have some new merchandise
which is just coming together. We have a new mug
and key chain that we're starting to start producing on
enough well. In fact, the people who've won prizes in
(28:18):
the most recent named that movie called Classic Contest, they
will be getting it first.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Yeah, the future prize winners. I will be sending you
on emails this evening to let you know that your
future prizes are in and they will be going out.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
If you'd like to see them Instagram at mister mo
Kelly and R m ok E L L Y or
at Later with mo Kelly. You can see it's a
very cool two tone mug with the show logo and
even a picture of me. I'm surprised they put that
on there. I'm not vain like that, you know, even
though Mark likes this alleged otherwise. No, no, you say
(28:54):
you have mugs now with your face? Yes, as in
like mug with my mug.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Okay, so right before work I showed the long Suffering
when at home a picture of a mug that I wanted,
which was the zombie from Dawn of the Dead who
gets the top of his head chopped off by a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You drink out of the head. I want a moke
Kelly mug. Now I don't want that one anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Okay, you can get a mo Kelly mug, and then
you can I want to drink out of the top
of your head. You can drink and look at me
when you have your coffee in the morning.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Very uncomfortable. Yeah, imagine imagine the joy that will bring me.
But we also will have some key chains which will
be easier. You can put me in your back pocket
for your front pockets up to you wherever there's room.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
If I am six forty, we're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
We're watching everything so you can watch Your Sanity k
s I, KOs
Speaker 2 (29:49):
HD two Los Angeles, Orange County, Live everywhere on the radio,
K IF.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I am six forty mister Mokeller here, we're live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. I could run down the show
for you tonight. But why, but why? Because all we
know we could have another earthquake. It would go right
out the window, just like it did last night. So
why even get your hopes up for what we're going
to do third hour? Let me take you behind the scenes.
(00:46):
Of course, we're talking about the earthquake which happened last
night at about nine o nine pm. There's what you
heard on the air, and then there's what was actually
happening in the studio in real time. Couldn't talk about
it last night, if only because it was happening and
it was live radio. We went straight to breaking news coverage.
(01:08):
But what was happening is you can't see our setup
unless you've watched maybe on Instagram Live. You can see
I can see Mark Ronner, and I can see Almer,
who's running the board tonight, via video screen. We have
cameras in a various studios. There's a studio for news,
there's a studio what we call air mix where they
(01:28):
do the technical aspect, and there's the main studio where
I have my microphone. I can see Mark, I can
see Elmer, and I can't remember what I was saying,
but I was talking and I could feel the table
and room shaking. Trying to be professional, I just can't
say earthquake. They can't do that. It could be a
(01:49):
truck driving by, or it could be someone running down
the hall. I just can't just yell earthquake, because why
some one hundred thousand people are listening. Yeah, I have
to be sure, and inevitably, whenever there is an earthquake,
we'll hear from you on Twitter, We'll hear from you
on Facebook. You'll text message to us and just say
did you feel that earthquake? And we have due diligence.
(02:12):
We have to be sure that it actually is an
earthquake before we can tell all of you it's an earthquake.
That would be unprofessional of us. We just started just
randomly screaming on the earthquake. You know, did you ever
see like World of the worlds orson Wells? Did you
hear what paddock that created? Not trying to do that,
So we have to be sure before we say anything.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Go ahead, Mark, if you're a professional in the radio business,
you know You can't just jump on the air at
the first sign of a quake and say, oh my god,
it's the big one.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We're all gonna die like Fred Sandford, you know. Oh no,
it's the big one. I'm coming to meet you. Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Can't do that, So you gotta be a little bit
more measured in your response. Gotta be measured, and you
have to be sure. We were looking for confirmation because
there are many times where something could happen in close
physical proximity to the student. Let's say it could have
been an explosion at a building because there were chemicals
and it had a chemical fire or something like that,
(03:06):
which has happened on occasion, and it may shake the building. Well,
that's not an earthquake, and then you've put out erroneous
information and you've misled people, and then our credibility goes
out the window. So we always have to be sure.
It's not about being first, it's about being accurate. Going
back to last night, after it was clear that it
(03:28):
was an earthquake and was unmistakable, if only because how
we were rolling. This building's on rollers, so there's a
to and fro sway to this and the duration of
it and we were confident that was an earthquake and
we could find twallat did you go to a quick bot?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Okay, so yeah, And also we talked about it last night.
There's a delay, So what you're hearing right now happened
thirty seconds ago. Which hearing right now that that happened
thirty seconds ago. It's almost like the speed of light
type thing. So we could be calm and wait a
second before we said it, and even when we did
(04:08):
say it was going to get to you a moment
or two after that, but we needed to be sure.
And when we were sure, then we went into what
we call breaking news coverage, like, okay, that was a
significant earthquake. We got to make sure we get as
much information as quickly and accurately as possible to you.
(04:28):
Mark Ronner sends the message, I assume correct me if
I'm wrong, down to the news editor whoever might be
working as a news editor, to get as much up
to date information as possible.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, can you get me something by the next break
et cetera, and so forth, And they're scrambling. Everybody scrambles
during breaking news, right, but there's a constant flow of communication.
It happened at nine oh nine, and you know we
usually go to news break. Thirteen minutes after the hour,
we got a text from our program director, who's probably
listening right now, Robin Berda Luci.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
He said, talk about it, Yes, Rob, we're going to
talk about there as way is in my mind. All right,
that's what the text message sounds like. And so we
what we call blew out the news break. We weren't
going to go to the news. We went straight to coverage.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And if you were paying attention, you realized, wait, they
didn't go to commercial for a long time, right.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That was intentional.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
We want to get as much information to you as
quickly as possible. Then we opened up the phones and
for the last half hour the show, we didn't go
to commercial. We wanted to hear from you, the listeners,
so a lot of our coverage. The whole point of
that was saying thank you for participating in making sure
we could get out as much information to people as possible.
We couldn't have done it without you. It's one thing
(05:41):
to report. Yeah, the earthquake was five point seven, then
it was downgraded to five point three. It was downgraded
to five point two, but it's much more compelling, and
it's much more I would say, enlightening when we get
to hear from people on the ground who were right there.
Maybe you were in your car, maybe you were at
home and you were startled awake. It was late enough
(06:02):
where I'm quite sure some people were asleep, but we
got a wide cross section of people all over southern California,
from I think Sherman Oaks to Bakerfield, Bakersfield near the epicenter,
and I think people listening they got a real sense
of how long this earthquake was experienced for just about
(06:22):
everyone and what wide area it covered. So that's just
to give you a little insight as far as what
was happening behind the scenes. Were we panicking, No, absolutely not.
But we've done this enough. In fact, that was not
the first time in which I've been on the air
when there was an earthquake. I can't remember what years,
maybe twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. I think it was like
in central California. There was an earthquake which happened and
(06:45):
we and it was strong enough that we felt it
here in southern California. And I remember I was right
in the middle of an interview, and again that was
one of the people that are like, talk about an earthquake.
It's like, Okay, we have to confirm that it's an earthquake.
And I remember I abruptly ended the interview and then
started talking about the earthquake. So yes, we were aware
as it was happening, but it takes a moment before
(07:07):
we can confirm and then switch gears. There was a
wonderful job done by the news department and Mark Ronner.
I say that because people don't see that, and they
don't know that, and I think it's important that we
acknowledge that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, thank you very much. I love working breaking news.
In My background is in newspapers and I've covered so
much breaking news that make your head spin. So when
something like that happens, I feel like I'm exactly in
the place where I need to be. And I you know,
I was thinking about this on the way home, and
I'm glad you brought it up to talk about today.
I know that listeners kind of have a radar for
(07:42):
when you're being cheesy and feeding them bs self promotion,
but last night was a classic example of how indispensable
local radio is.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Right, and we talk about the need to have AM
radio and people's cars. Last night, that was a perfect
time to remind people people needed to get information AM radio.
It's free, it's available, it's immediate. That's why we're here.
That's what we do. Not that I was going to
start an Instagram live last night during breaking news covers.
(08:12):
But if you could have seen what was going on,
you could have a great appreciation for how we do
what we do and why CAFI specifically does it so well.
And we do it because we have a responsibility to
you and thank you for always listening and supporting us.
I know that sounds cheesy to Mark's point, but it
(08:32):
is the truth. So that was just a little bit
of the behind the scenes. When we come back, we
have a metro update, so you know that means murdered, death, kill,
stab shooting, fight, homeless attacks. It was one of those.
It was one of those, and it happened in Pasadena.
We'll give you that update next. It looks like Chris
Little's bothering Mark.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So can I come to you now?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Mark?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Are you ready for the news? Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Apparently we just had a four point three earthquake about
aftershock or earthquake a four point three magnitude quake about
eighteen miles south of Baker's Field. I didn't feel a thing,
did you? What I didn't was it's souths Little insisted
he did.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He no, no, no, But I'm saying, if it happened
near Bakersfield, I'm kind to believe something. It's an aftershock
as opposed to a secondary, unrelated quake.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, in all fairness, Chris is far more sensitive.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, Chris, why don't you get on the microphone since
you're just gonna just bring the.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Whole show to a stop. Come on, over, Come on, Chris,
get on, get on, Get on, Like you don't want
to do the news breaker. You can't just stand there
and defy a host and get a little show. Look.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I was ready to toss to Mark, and now he
wants to walk out of the store. No, he's coming
to you, to you all right, No, we're gonna do
this for real. Yeah, move the microphone over. Let's have
Chris come in and sit down. He's not gonna come in.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Hey, can you hear me? I'm in here?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Okay, go ahead, Chris, okay, Well I really well, you
guys are talking earthquakes. I felt an earthquake. I wasn't
sure it was an earthquake, the quake bot. It wasn't
on there yet. And then I got a notification from
the USGS. Actually I searched the USGS. It wasn't there yet,
and then the notification came and I sent it to
(10:15):
Ronner and do Twala, who was mister earthquake.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I know what a well oiled machine.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
See there it is in real time.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It is very oily.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yes, yes, yes, quite ly.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
That's why I was standing over Mark's shoulder because I
sent him the email and said, hey, take a look
at this email. And so it was about eighteen miles
out of Bakersfield.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And I was vamping because I can see you talking
to Mark, and I'm just sort of like, okay, let
me just keep talking because Mark is not ready to
do the news because he's not even looking at me.
He's talking to you. So I can't TSS and go
to news because Mark is not ready to receive the time.
Both thought I was getting fired. Well he's not wrong,
he's not wrong. I just didn't think you'd get fired
(11:00):
on the air show. You can't tell me that's never
happened here.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, uh yeah, look at the time at the time.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh my goodness. Okay, I don't know if.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Anyone's ever been fired on the air that I'm aware of.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Mark, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Always looking to be a first Wait, not in the
news department, but not in the news.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yes, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I do know of a guy who was taken to
lunch before his shift and then he did not do
his shift.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
That was Tom Likeas.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, I recall this story.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Yes, I was working part time as an anchor and
David G. Hall went to lunch with Tom Likeas and
Tomkas did not come in after lunch.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Well, if he knew he was getting fired, why would
you come in and report to work.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Well, I don't think he knew he was getting fired,
because he got he came to lunch, he went to
lunch with with the boss, and then did not return.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I mean did not come back because he had no job.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Not only is that story a classic, but it never
fails to bust me up when Tim Conway Junior does
his likeus impression?
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Whose impression?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Like us?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
TWA? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You're listening to some right wing whacko or convicted felon no,
I am your host.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
See I remember all this stuff. Hey, can we go
to news now? Look at the.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Time you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Let's go to Pasadena Pasadena Metro station. A man was
apprehended early today after he attacked a woman at a
Metro station in Pasadena. It happened around five forty am
at the A Lines Allen station. Not much is known
or has been reported publicly, but according to Metro, La
(12:54):
County Sheriff's deputies quote unquote swiftly apprehended the suspect after
the incident.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
They're not telling us.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
What exactly happened or how badly the woman was injured,
but we do know that the woman was put in
the hospital and is in stable condition. So it was
more than a paper cut. Something bad happened to her
and she was sent to the hospital. But I don't
have a complete statement. But KBC ABC seven had this
(13:26):
to say as far as the Metro response, quote, Metro
wishes the woman a speedy and full recovery close quote.
So Metro basically gave their equivalent to a get well
card and posted that for the woman Metro wishes the
woman a speedy and full recovery. How about Metro is
(13:50):
a sorry ass agency for not doing more to protect you.
We apologize our bad I think that's more appropriate, right,
because that's more accurate about what happened. If metch you
had done more than it probably would have been less
of a likelihood of this happening. But you know, the
woman probably was going about her way, trying to go
to work. I don't know this for certain, but I
(14:13):
suspect that she was going to work at five point
forty in the morning, not going home, and she was
assaulted to some degree. Violence took place, ended up in
the hospital. But she did get a get well card
and a speedy and full recovery note from Metro that
should make her feel much better.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Was it a nice card? Was it an expensive card?
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
As far as I know, it was just in a statement.
She may not have received the card at all. It
just might have been a statement and her friend or
family member had to read it to her from the internet.
I don't know if they actually took that next step
and bought a card from CBS and had someone walk
it over to the hospital and hand it to her.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Maybe they left it at the front desk. Yeah, E
cards are way too cheap.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well, yeah, if you're in the hospital, you may not
have access to your phone. You know, you're sitting in
that gown. We don't know her condition. All we know
is that she's stable. And I'm not trying to make
fun of it, but I want to highlight the ridiculous
nature of how this is being characterized. You notice Metro
is being very clear about not being clear. They're not
(15:19):
trying to give us any real details as far as
what happened, why it happened. We know that La Shar's
deputies swiftly apprehended the suspect. Will clearly the Shares's deputies
saw it happen. That's how they swiftly apprehended the person.
They don't want to tell you because it would make
bad matters worse relative to public perception of the Metro.
(15:43):
Another day, another week, another assault, just a typical day
on Metro in southern California. I wish I had more,
But you know, what can I say other than there
will be another attack, probably this week is going to
get hurt on Metro, and all I can do is
say I told you so again for the forty fifth time.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You think Metro has a budget set aside for like
sending fruit baskets to victims and things like that. Oh,
I would think so, but I don't know if they do.
You know what I think it is. Do you remember
the movie.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
What's the one with the Kaijus and they had the
Jaegers and uh oh, Pacific Pacific rim. Do you think
they have this big clock at Metro like days since
someone's been attacked on the Metro and then they have
to reset it after each one.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
That would be exhausting. Well, yeah, they'd have to redo
it just about every single day.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, somebody'd have like one huge right arm from resetting
the hand all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's not even days, it's like hours since last last
attack on Metro. Yeah, well, let's start the clock again
and see if we can get through at least a
whole week without someone being harmed on Metro.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'm not taking that bet.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
You're listening to later with mo Kel on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You should not be surprised.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
California is one of the most expensive states in the
nation to start a family.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No one should be surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But according to wallet hub, it's really really expensive. And
the personal finance site ranked the best places in the
US to have a baby, analyzing all fifty states and Washington,
d C. Based on birthing costs, health care accessibility, and
other factors. And we now know where California is relative
(17:36):
to a good state or a bad state to start
a family. We'll give you the top ten and the
bottom ten, and we won't even bury the lead. California
is not in either, even though it's more expensive than
just about anywhere to raise a family or have a
baby because of birthing costs and hospital charges for conventional
(17:57):
and cesarean deliveries. We are tenth in terms of healthcare accessibility,
twenty third for baby friendliness, but overall we ranked thirtieth
out of fiftieth fifty states in Washington DC for having
a baby. So we're in a not quite in the
bottom third percentile.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
You just can't afford the house here after you have
the baby.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well it's either or you can have the baby or
you can have the house, but you won't have the
baby in the house, right, I'll wait.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Elmer was not even paying attention damn it. I worked hard,
doesn't care. Don't care, it doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Look, if you're gonna sit in that chair, and we
gotta know, you gotta be ready with the rim shot
because I'm working hard here, I'm using something, my best material,
and I need some acknowledgement because Mark Ronner is not
gonna give it to me.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
He rarely earns it, Elmer. Just so you know. Oh,
here we go, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Here are the ten best states and districts for those
having a baby, according to wallet Hub, coming in at
number ten, Mark ronnerd the state of Washington.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I believe that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Number nine Utah, Yeah, I believe that. Number eight Vermont,
don't know, never been there. Number seven Maine here, it's
(19:26):
beautiful there. I have no idea beyond that. Well, Stephen
King's there and he encourages procreation.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Really okay, I don't know. I just made that up.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I never believe anything you say. So you know, of course,
number six.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Washington DC.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Number five of the top ten best states and districts
for those having a baby according to the walle hub. This
is number five New Hampshire, so the Northeast coming in strong.
Number four Rhode Island. Look if you want to have
(20:11):
a baby, go to the east coast to northeast.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
This is for baby friendliness and overall calls and childcare
and all that, right, all that Rhode Island, the home
of HP Lovecraft. The great god Cuthulhu wants you to reproduce.
Only you would know that.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I mean, I know HP Lovecraft, but I wouldn't be
able to connect it to like Rhode Island. I'm trying
to contribute here. We're laughing at you, not with you. Mark,
You wouldn't dare please proceed? Number three, Tim Walls, I
mean Minnesota, number three, number two.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This seems like an odd one. North Dakota. What else
is there to do there? Honestly, well, yeah, baby friendliness, childcare.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You go ahead and make sense of that. I can't
make heads or tails of North Dakota. Given those other states,
it's a lot of It's a motherly community, mind, I'll
take your word for it, and number one of the
top ten best states and districts for those having a baby.
California came in at number thirty, but here is number one, Massachusetts.
(21:31):
Those liberals in the Northeast know how to take care
of a newborn baby.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Or not. I love that fanfare in my head. That's
the fanfare that plays when I would conceive marks that
paying attention. He's not paying attention. He's not paying attentions.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
He's got a thumb on the scale for you. My goodness, gracious. Okay,
here's the bottom ten. Here are the ten worst states
for those having a baby. Coming in at number ten,
Sarah Huckaby Sanders, I mean Arkansas, number ten. Yeah, number
(22:15):
nine of the worst state for having a baby, Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I'm sensing a trend here. Number eight.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Louisiana. Yeah, pattern consistent. Yeah, Number seven West Virginia. Okay,
Can I just make one political statement? Aren't these all
the biggest pro life states? Worst states to have a baby?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Okay? Want just just just I was just wonder if
there's any correlation. That's all all right? Number six.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Nevada. And it's not Nevada. It's Nevada, Nevada.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That should be number one. It didn't say raising a baby.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Since I have the baby there, I'm quite sure they
have hospitals and stuff in Nevada.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh god. No.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Number five of the top ten worst states for having
a baby. And we're back Georgia, number four in Nuevo Mexico,
(23:48):
New Mexico, coming in at number three of the worst
states to have a baby? No, South Carolina. Look, does
anyone want to say the quiet part out? Louder coming
in at number two according to the wallet Hub of
(24:10):
the top ten worst states for those having a baby
coming in at number two.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I love JACKSONI football football, real scare. It's almost like
there's a theme.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I can't quite put my finger on it. And coming
in at number one of the ten worst states for
having a baby in all the US and Washington DC
is is.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Does anyone want to make a guess? What southern state
have we not mentioned yet? Louisiana?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Have we done that?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
We mentioned Louisiana. That's number eight.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's all a blur?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I guess Okay, Well, coming in at number one is Mark.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I'm really disappointed in you. How could you not know
what was missing? Sippy? Oh it fits perfectly.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, Mississippi is at the bottom of every list. If
you want to know about the worst, this be it education.
You know, health, health does not matter, infant mortality, it's
it's Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The answer is always Mississippi. Well done, Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
There's no reason in the world. I ever want to
go to Mississippi for anything.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I don't think they want nothing. Drive through liquor store nada.
Wait wait did you just say drive through liquor the
drive through liquors? Drive through liquor stores. Okay, I got
to rethink this.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Like it's almost like you gotta you pull up to
the window.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, I'll take a Jack Daniels and a kettle wan
and let me make that two kettle ones?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And can I get some straws to that? Thank you
very much?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Is it in a container or do they just fling
it in? I think they have an open container.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Uh when we I drove through there and uh when
you live to tell about it.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, no, we drove through. We drove there.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Just in the daylight hours. We didn't stop it. It
was one of those that we had to stop and
get gassed during the day. And across the street we
saw people going through a liquor store and they had
to drive through. You could go inside, but you could
also pull up to a window, and they were handing
people bags.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Of liquor, kind of like McDonald's, except with liquor. Yeah,
lots of lot. You're kidding, but you're not numbly kidding, not,
I'm not. Yeah. I remember one time my family was
driving through Tennessee and this is nineteen eighty two. We
were coming back from a family reunion, talking about Route
sixty six and just driving across country we would oftentimes drive.
(26:35):
That was one time where I could tell my father
because it's my father, my mother, my older sister, and me,
where he was very concerned about getting through the state
as quickly as possible, as in before nightfall. I can't
remember the exact route, but he did not want to
have any type of entanglements with anyone. And we pulled
(26:58):
it to a gas station and I remember, as clear
as day there was this family and I remember the
back license plate. It was a Confederate flag, and they
were just staring at us, and my father was getting
gassed and he he.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Said something to the defecta, do not get out of
the car.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I maybe eleven or twelve at the time, and you
look back at it through adult eyes and you realize, like, Okay,
he saw what we were feeling, and you know it's
about protecting your family at that point. Yeah, I'm not
going to Mississippi for anything, nothing, not even for a
drive through liquor store.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Now you can go. You could bring me back something mark,
you know, I don't think they'd want me there either.
To tell you the truth, well, I think you could pass.
You could, you could infiltrate, I could pass. Can't buy
