Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Six forty is Land with Bo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, at the iHeartRadio app.
And I am a big proponent of free wisdom.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well, what do you mean free wisdom?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Free wisdom is the stuff that you can use in
your own life today and you didn't have to pay
the price of making bad decisions to earn it. Usually
wisdom is real expensive, the things that we've learned across
the years of life, what to do with relationships, what
to do on the job, what not to do.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How to stay out of jail.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
A lot of time, that wisdom is very, very expensive, like,
for example, my wisdom of how not to act at
an amusement park like Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That was very expensive.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
That was a very expensive lesson I told you about
that getting kicked out of Disneyland. But it's something which
informed my future behavior and actions. Sometimes you can just
look at other people and look at their decision making
and you can gather what you should and should not do.
That's what I call free wisdom. And hopefully everyone is
(01:24):
taking a closer look. An examination of radio television and
internet media podcast personality Shannon Sharp. Well, we need to
take TV out of his name right now, because he
was just let go at ESPN after settling the sexual
(01:44):
assault lawsuit. Settling. It wasn't like he was found guilty
of some crime. It wasn't like there was some judgment,
a court judgment which was made against them.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
He merely, and I say this in a general sense.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Me we early settled a sexual assault lawsuit against him.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Here's what most people don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Even though he settled ESPN, which is basically Disney major corporations,
they always do their own investigations. They will come to
their own determination of what they are are not dealing with.
Even though we as the public may not know the
terms of the settlement, even though it's rumored at twenty
three million dollars, damn, twenty three million dollars, We don't
(02:33):
know the exact amount, but we do know it's substantial.
ESPN most likely did their own due diligence and they
probably found some things which were very unsettling to them,
or they were deal breakers, punintended and did not want
to go forward with Shannon Sharp, one of their featured commentators.
This is free wisdom. These are the things that you
(02:54):
can take in your own life. And you may not
be a sports commentator, you may not be someone as
popular or famous, as well known as Shannon Sharp, but
you can learn something from his situation. You can think that, well,
he wasn't a married man. What he does in his
private life.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Is his business.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Not so fast in the twenty first century, when you
are representing these large corporations, and that would include someone
like me, that would include someone like Mark, that would
include someone like twelve. We represent KFI, we represent iHeartMedia.
We need not be found guilty of a crime. We
can just have a very very embarrassing situation which brings
(03:38):
infamy on this company or on this brand, and we
can be fired. In some contracts they call that a
moral's clause. In other contracts it's like an infamy clause.
But you don't need to be guilty of something in
a criminal sense to lose your job. And that's what
(03:59):
we're seeing here with Shannon Sharp. NFL Hall of Famer.
He was a commentator on ESPN's First Take. He was
accused of sexual assault by an ex girlfriend. If you remember,
Shannon Sharp took it upon himself to out the name
of his accuser and release text messages at the very beginning,
(04:21):
and most people will tell you that was the worst
thing to do.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
One.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You don't out victims or alleged victims. You don't ever
do that. And also, once you put text messages out there,
you are adding fuel to the fire for the case.
You're actually making it more likely that you're going to
be sued also for successfully sued for defamation because you
use the alleged victim's actual name. And he was facing
(04:47):
a fifty million dollar lawsuit from just one person. Shannon Sharp,
if you remember, decided to step aside and handle this.
So he stepped away from his duties at ESPN after
the resolution of this lawsuit, not admitting any type of fault,
no public disclosure of the amount involved. He will still
(05:09):
let go from ESPN. The takeaway for you, for me,
for everyone is and I hear it all the time
and I read it all the time on social media.
They say, well, what difference does it make if he
was on his own personal time, Why does his personal
life matter?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
He didn't commit any crime.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And you need to take this free wisdom if you
are engaging in behavior which is either embarrassing to your
parent company or your employer, you most likely will be
fired or let go. It's not like you're working the
fries at McDonald's. Sorry, no disrespect. You're working the fries
at McDonald's. And you get on the internet and you
(05:50):
say something stupid on social media. You don't have that
level of visibility, so you can get away with more
than maybe than me or Mark Ronner or or Tawala,
because I don't know how many times I say something
on social media, and the first thing they try to
do is run and tell KFI or iHeartMedia.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Did you say what Moe said?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And then what I'll do is I'll say, You're damn
right I said it, because I've already made the calculation
in my mind as far as what I can and
can't do. Oh and this actually goes back to Mark.
You always say you enjoy my arguments on social media,
mister mol Kelly, right, And part of that is and
people say, like, well, Mo, why do you have so
many rules with how you engage people? And this kind
(06:31):
of relates to Shannon Sharp And I'll explain it this way.
There are things that random trolls can say to me
and they do say to me all the time that
I cannot return fire.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That's just a fact. You know.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You can use all sorts of profanity, name calling, racism, whatever.
I cannot respond in kind. Not that I want to.
I'm just saying there's a line. There's a limit. Why
because even though I may be on my own personal time,
even though I may be on my own personal soulcial media,
because none of my social media is connected to KFI,
(07:04):
all of that proceeds KFI. So it's just me and
my personal social media. If I say the wrong thing,
and you've been trying to go me for thirteen years
to say the wrong thing, I can be fired. It's
just that simple. So I do not allow conversations to
go beyond a certain point. That's why I say, if
(07:25):
you would like to discuss the subject of the show,
all good. If you want to take issue with me
as something I said, and you can do it in
a respectful way, absolutely, But I'm not going to get
into a personal insult match with you. I mean, it's
not gonna be a match. I'm just gonna walk over
you and then block you. Always entertaining, No, no, it
is entertaining. I have to get something out of it.
(07:47):
And I know people want to say, MO, you said
such and such and such a block. You know, I
have to agree with Mark, You're just a big fat
block because I'm not going to end up like Shannon
Sharp if at all possible. That's the point. There are
things that I can and cannot do. Shannon Sharp went
(08:10):
too far with the things he can and can't do.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And if you get.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Soon for sexual assault, I'm not saying it's fair, but
it's a fact. It's not even about whether he was
guilty of sexual assault. It's the fact that he's dragging
the name of ESPN through the mud in the process,
and so that can be grounds for separation. The free
wisdom is learn from that and don't think that just
(08:37):
because you're on your free time, or you're at home
and it's two am and you're just just on social media,
that you can't suffer the same fate as Shannon Sharp.
Free wisdom. You can take it or leave it. You
don't even have to pay for it. But it's better
that you understand what happened to Shannon Sharp so it
doesn't happen to you. Even if it's on a smaller level.
(08:57):
You can get fired real quick for doing something real
stupid in an instant.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
If I am six forty, We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app, and yes I will block you and a heartbeat.
I get enjoyment out of it. In fact, it turns
me on. It's like, oh wow, another blow. That's at
mister mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Mister Mokelly, he wants a so this is autonomous vehicles
might be on the ball, Moe bit too all the
come zone, cleaner tone, under control. This is m Kelly
(09:59):
is wrong move thinks he's.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
On the pyro.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
KFI Later with mo Kelly live on YouTube and the
iHeartRadio app. And WEIMO, if we've talked about WEIMO for
quite some time. WEAMO wants to help out Dallas, the
city of Dallas, as they explained it, you may not
know this. We were talking about traffic a few segments ago. Well,
if you didn't know, Dallas is a city with the
(10:48):
highest traffic fatality rate in the nation amongst cities with
more than a million people. Dallas, WEAMO put forth a
plan specifically to the city of Dallas, positioning as a
way to help traffic safety, but I also see it
as this. It is most definitely a gauntlet being thrown
(11:10):
down in the backyard of Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk. We
know that teslare trying to do their own robotaxis. We
know that Elon Musk has been publicly talking mess against Waimo.
So this is basically saying, yes, we're going to do
it in your own backyard, and you're gonna see us
(11:31):
take all of your market share before you can even
get your own robotaxis off the ground.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Waimo says it's robo taxis currently provide more than two
hundred and fifty thousand paid trips per week in the
cities where they operate.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
How do you define safety?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
And informational video highlights how they're designed to prevent accidents
while protecting both passengers and pedestrians. But still, Dallas driver
Devin Downey, who owns a Tesla, says he's a little
nervous about this, especially after testing out his own car
self driving feature.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I thought it was really scary, Like my son loved it.
He thought it was really cool.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That for me it just felt like the car was
somewhat out of control and making decisions that I didn't
necessarily wouldn't have made as a driver.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Whatever, Like a new technology is released, everyone is going
to feel scared or it is not going to feel
like secure enough that's socially accepted. Just to be a
little more scured. But with the time it'll be okay.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
When Weaimo launches here in Dallas, you'll be able to
book a ride through their app. The company is partnering
with Avis to manage its fleet and the maintenance.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
No, that's smart. That is smart. Yeah, that's really smart.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
And pretty soon you could see how you'll be just
renting a way Mo. You won't be renting an Avis
rent a car. That's how you get the general public
accustomed to using these autonomous vehicles everywhere.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Oh, there's an opportunity to support the City of Dallas's
Vision zero goals aimed at eliminating all traffic related deaths
and reducing severe injury crashes by fifty percent by twenty thirty.
In a statement, Dallas City Manager Kimberly Tolbert says the
Weimo and Avis partnership will offer an innovative technology based
(13:18):
transportation option for our residents and visitors.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Okay, So there it is.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
WEIMO is obviously trying to say, hey, we're going to
position this as a safer alternative to not only you driving,
but also these other robotaxes which may be in the market.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
And Dallas Public Office is also and local governments also
saying we agree with this. We have seen what you're
capable of. We have also seen lots of unsuccessful Tesla
self driving a car roll out here in Dallas. We've
seen what they were doing in Vegas. Tesla's still struggling
a little bit. You're already there. Yeah, I think Tesla
(13:58):
is the jokes that we make about Weaymo. Tesla is
the one that robotaxis are genuinely not ready for prime time.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, they're not.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
They're not some of the stuff that tesa Tesla's have
literally all over curbst like it's been crazy. Their rollout
is like you're supposed to start small, like maybe a
few city blocks somewhere, not all over Vegas, not all
over you all are doing too much and they're giving
and and waymo's are just driving by, like hm, I
(14:27):
can't believe that robocr So next.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Year, we will have Dallas, assuming everything goes smoothly, Phoenix,
San Francisco, here in La Austin, Atlanta, and then also
Miami and Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Next year.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
That to me as an outsider, would be the make
or break here because you would be in high use
a number of major metropolitan areas, and if you can
handle that, then you could probably handle it anywhere.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
I think Waymo is really showing and proving it, especially
because I've had several trips to the airport recently and
all around Lax there are almost more waymos that there
are actual cars.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
On the road.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
It's a ridiculous how many waymos are near the airport
and all that trafficking congestion right around LAX. I'm surprised
that there are so many waymos. Not a lot of
ubers or anything else, just waymos out there.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Now, that's something that I wonder.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Then at Lax, were they going to the ride share
area to pick up people.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Or they were there they were going over I saw
them going to where the terminals, not the terminals, but
where you can go and get a bus and get
a get a bus to somewhere, so I'd say, or
to like where the parking lots are.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I saw them over near there. I didn't see any
close to.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
The airport, like maybe right a block before all of
a century is the furthest I saw them going.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Okay, so they're not actually going to the ride share area.
They're not going to the terminal.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
No, okay, now, didn't see them there, but the but
the close I saw people literally getting them even at
some of the hotels. I'm like, they're pulling into that
hotel lot there to get somebody that's very interested in
me that people near the airport are like basically coming
in and grabbing a Weimo.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Yeah, because I don't think that's going to change, because
if they haven't allowed us to pick people up from
the actual terminals, I can't imagine they're gonna let Waimo
do it or Tesla do it. But that's a group
with the cab companies, isn't it. I think so, like
that's the one thing that they haven't relented on. So
I think it's just gonna be a matter of time
when the people mover happens and where the new drop
(16:33):
offs and pickups are going to be after that, that's
gonna change it, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, all I know is taxis.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You're getting ready to go out of business, conventional taxis
and Uber drivers. You might be next. Maybe I'm Ron
Burgundy kf I AM six forty. When we come back,
we have to tell you about Wendy's and Wednesday, how
they're teaming up.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Kelly here, we're still live everywhere on social media and
the iHeartRadio appened. I gotta be honest. I'm not a
real fan of the Adams Family, never have been. It
was never funny to me. The only thing I enjoyed
about the Adams Family was the opening theme.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Did you see much of the old one, the black
and white one with John Aston.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
That's the only thing I even really cared about. I
never developed an affinity for the original show. I didn't
like the Adams Family. I didn't like the Monsters.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Well, the Adams Family was much more for grown ups
than the Monsters was, because you realize when you watch
it as an adult, the whole show is about Gomez
and Mortitia wanting to get it on.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'll take your word for it, because I didn't watch
either show.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Was I familiar with them? Yes? Did I care for
either of them?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
No? In my mind they were pretty much the same show.
I know they weren't. And ta, I was gonna come
here with this judgmental look like you're not a fan
of the House Family.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
No, no, no, I did not like that and family
any of the new iterations that that was a show
that was like on my click turn off. My look
on my face was because Carnichie over here, who hasn't
seen anything, was like, yes, when you say an abathet,
I'm like, well, how you know about the ampathetic but
you'll know about the Honeymoon.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And I'm not even talking about the movies none.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay with raul Giulio, No, I'm talking about the TV show.
She said, t Yes, I never and I didn't even
watch the movies. So in other words, they weren't bad. Honestly, Oh,
I'll take.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Your word for it what happened. I'll take your word
for it.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
But all I do know is because I had no
interest in the original TV show or the movies of
the nineties, I definitely didn't have any interest in the
Netflix show Wednesday. It was a long way to get there.
But that's why I was saying. The only thing I
liked about the Adams Family was the music. Did you
watch that show?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (19:13):
The Wednesday thing. I wasn't so much into Wednesday. I
didn't get through the first season. That's the best part
of the show. I did not Watchky.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Wookie.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, Family, the house is a museum when people come.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
To see yup, has a been of a stress? Okay,
there is.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
We're talking about this the show Wednesday, which is on
net Flix so getting ready to drop the second season.
And they've teamed up with our favorite fast food place,
Wins Wendy's and they have what they call rested ten
piece nuggets. This new menu, Cursed and Crispy fries, dips
(20:19):
of Dread, Mystery sauces, and Raven's Blood frosty and the
themed meal launches August six, ahead of season two. Okay,
and the meal will be available starting August fourth here
in the US. In fact, there'll be a Wednesday theme
drive through experience here in the Southland at the Windy's
(20:40):
in Norwalk, which is one two, one three eight Imperial
Highway as of tomorrow, and it'll be open from ten
am to ten pm.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Mystery sauce makes me a little uncomfortable. Maybe at Garrigus
will bring us some. We've already reached out. Okay, it's
already reached out, and it reached out today. I am
down with Wendy's food. And to me, I don't care
if Wendy's wants to partner with any Windy's. You partner
with whoever you want to. Your food is always quality,
(21:10):
always good.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
That's right. So that's always here and that's not bad.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yes, you're always welcome to bring Winney's food.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Here, preach a lot of it.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Ed if you want to bring a Wednesday Adams dress
up person, like a person dressed up Wednesday dress up,
have them come in here so they can they can
bring the food. I just personally, look, I agree with
mo I just I didn't like the monsters.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, I didn't like that.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
To me, I didn't like Beverly Hill Billies to be
they were they were literally the same show it because maybe.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
It was the same show block because they were back
to back to back or something like that. Maybe because
they were all in black and white. But I didn't
care about any of them. And as beyond the theme,
I like the theme to all of those shows. I
had no desire to watch the Beverly Hill Billies, and
they had no desire to watch the Monsters.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Even don't like the thief kind of James Bonders. Just
what kind of slaps it does?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Laugh?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
They've done a lot of trap mixes on this. I've
heard it.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It works with it drop that beat, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Greatest inuremutation.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I couldn't tell you about one episode of any of
these shows, not a one.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Did you see the one?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
What about the time?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
When hermit it?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
So if you ever hear me say, oh, yeah, I
remember that episode, I'm lying.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I've never seen anyone, Okay, and the Beverly Hillbillies that
I don't think. Gosh, I don't think I can tell
you the name of any of the characters in Beverly
Hill or.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Jed or something.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
There was a grandma, Yeah, there was a niece. I
think I don't know whe her names.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You do more than I do.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
I don't know what her name is. I know there
is like there's a grandmother and a father and they
were on a wagon.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
The poor mountain near Burley kept his family fed. And
then one day he was shooting at some food and
up through the ground, come above bull Pool oil oil
that is black Gold Texas tea. Well, the first thing,
you know, old Jeb's and millionaire.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
The king folks said, Jeb, move away from there, said,
California is the place.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
You ought to be. So the loaded up the truck.
The Beverly Hill is swimming pool. That's all I know.
Star you know.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
And now that I hear that theme again, it might
have been the banjo might have been a turn off.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Maybe it's just the banjo a little too close to deliverance,
a little too close, something like Appalachia. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
There was never an episode where somebody made Jeth throw
a squeal like a pig, I can tell you. Wait,
so you didn't watch any of this stuff? Did you
watch Gilligan's Island?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
A little bit but not a lot?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
And the reason I didn't watch a lot of Gilligan's
Island because I didn't like shows where I knew they
are never going to be successful, because them getting off
the island, which would mean they're basically the end of
the show. But let me go back to Beverly Hillbillies
real quick. The banjo, it makes you think of Deliverance.
(24:27):
It creeps me out anytime I see this scene Burt Reynolds, nay.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Little too close. It doesn't slap, No, it slaps as.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know, something that I really did like around that time,
because that's when I first learned about Burt Reynolds. And
it was maybe two or three years later that my
dad took me to see Smoking a Bandit and Jerry
Reid was in there. You had Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason
who Carneciud has no idea who that is or was
(25:30):
Sally Field, but Wendy's and Netflix is Wednesday. They've teamed
up in advance of season two on Netflix, which is
going to drop on August sixth. Again, this new menu
will be available starting August fourth here in the US.
And Carneesie is a huge Wednesday fan, so congratulations.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
The date is my birthday. That's why I'm also excited.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And you got to dance for it too. I love it.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
That look, Hey, look, Wednesday is a huge show. What
it is any of us have seen seen? This is
a made your partnership Wendy's look. I think my daughter
has watched the first season and she's probably looking forward
she's down the hall to bring her on the look
last I mean, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, exactly. I'm not gonna watch it, but you know,
kids like it. You know, eat the food, Mark, I'll
eat the food. Yeah, I'll eat the food. But I'm
just not gonna watch the show. I just don't do
anything Adam's family. Sorry, just know I'm telling it. The
Old One is really funny.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Tell them Mark, tell them.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You didn't see the Old One?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
He's yes, I did.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
My mom was a big fan of it, so that's
why I really liked it in the like Mark said,
Martitia and her husband, Oh my god, romantic?
Speaker 7 (26:45):
Right?
Speaker 8 (26:46):
No, No, that's well, that's not exactly the word i'd use.
John Aston is a hilarious Gomez And uh oh, who's
the who played Mortitia?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I know her name.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
I can't think of her name right away, but she
She was also in some Batman episodes as well.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
As those The Lady Who Cares? What?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
What's okay? Are we gonna have a repeat of Last Night?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Now?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Caroline Jones?
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Carolin?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
With martell On. No's looking for Caroline Jones?
Speaker 8 (27:14):
No, no, no, she was a big deal back then.
I mean, this is all before our time. But but
she was a thing so to speak.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
It's Later with Mo Kelly k if I am six
forty want to go to Costco with Mark Ronner and
Stephan and find out what the hell's going on there?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty forty.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
It is Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I go to Costco every now and then, and when
I do, I go with my wife because she has
the membership card. And now they've really clamped down where
you have to have your membership card scanned to go
into Costco. And if you've ever been to Costco, you
go up and down the aisles. Invariably there is someone
giving away free samples, maybe three or four different stations,
so they'll have free samples of food and I load
(28:03):
up personally, I just look they have. If it's free,
I'm gonna taste it. That's all changing, or at least
for Mark, it's going to change. Mark may have some issues.
Costco is now requiring children be accompanied by an adult
to receive free samples and stores.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
That's not unreasonable? Are you kidding me? Ridiculous?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
No, no.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
And when I read why I said, you know, that
makes sense. Imagine this.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Let's say you're Costco and you give it out free samples,
and you.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Give it out to children who may come up.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
They may be well behaved, polite and everything, and then
you give someone a sample who has a peanut allergy.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Then what Oh okay, I think I misunderstood. So the
children can't go by themselves. Correct, Oh, so Mark would
have an issue. He would need to be accompanied by
an adult.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh got it.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Put those kids in leashes and that's all fine with me,
all of them. I don't know if you when the
last time is you've been to a Costco. But the
kids there are one of my few complaints about it. Like,
let's just say, theoretically you're walking around with a mild
hangover and some kids start shrieking at the top of
their lungs.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Theoretically hypothetic, theoretically no point. No, we don't like that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I generally don't like badly behave kids anyhow, And when
you're in Costco, they're always five or ten or fifteen
running up and down the aisles. I'm not always always,
and I'm thinking, like, where your parents? This is not
an amusement park when they're running through any grocery store,
(29:40):
like for example, if you're in Costco, you're most likely
looking up because everything is stacked high.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Your eye level is not below your cart.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
And I've almost run over a few children just because
I'm not looking for them and they're using it like
it's an obstacle course. And sometimes I'm I wanted to
catch them with an elbow as they're running by, but
then I'm the bad guy.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
No, no, no court would convict you for that. He'd be fine,
But they got cameras.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
That's the only problem, and they'll see I would have
put my wing out there like intentionally.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
Like, ah, thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that,
Oh they do noted for next time.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
But you know, at first, my first glance was like,
what do you mean You're not gonna allow kids to
have a sample that are red bars?
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Like, oh, yeah, that does make sense. Well, the whole
sample area hit thing. I actually avoid those because those
become big clogged arteries. When you're trying to get from
point A to point B in the store. It's like
a like a zombie converging on some fresh human flesh.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
There.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
All you want to do is get around the corner,
and there's people who are elbowing each other so they
can get like a little teeny piece of chicken or
something like, get out of my way.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
What I usually do is I should say, well, since
I'm usually with my wife or always with my wife
when I'm at Costco, i will be with the cart
in one stationary location, usually next to a free sample,
and she will go get stuff and bring it back
to the cart. Because a lot of times, to your
point mark, it's hard to maneuver the cart in the
various areas. It's easier to just go get stuff and
(31:09):
bring it back as opposed to trying to maneuver your car.
Especially in the frozen like the freezer section, it's way
too small for the amount of people are in there,
so it's easier just walking.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
There's supposed to bring your cart in there.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
Yeah, and the average self awareness of people at Costco
seems to be going down. They don't care what's happening
around them. Last time I was in there, there was
a bottleneck going into and out of the dairy area
and the guy was on his way out. Again, it's
just like one line going in and out. Some guy
on the way out, decides to slow down, look at
his phone, and hunch over his cart and just kind
(31:42):
of shuffle along a little at a time, and I
finally said, dude, come on, what are you doing. I
will give it to them for this.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
When you're in line and you have a checkers who's
checking all your groceries, they're usually pretty pretty fast with it.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
The checkers are no nonsense, they're fine.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
And they they're smartles like, okay, you have eight of
those containers, let me just leave them on the cart,
don't have to put them off on the belt. We'll
count them in there. It just makes sense. They know
what they're doing in ways that other grocery stores don't.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
And I go there more and more because I swear
to god, I can't get through a Ralph's line without
realizing at the end that they've messed up and overcharged
me for something because of their crappy sale.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
App Yeah, and they're scannered. Yeah, absolutely, This happened to
me a number of times.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
I like, literally every single time, there's some mistake and
I got to go through the line again. And if
I've gone after work, they're like, well it's one am,
you'll have to come back tomorrow. It's like, I'm not
driving back here for a five dollars mistake.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Thanks, but that's what they count on exactly more likely
than not, you're not going to realize the error, and
if you do, it's like, well, it's almost like you
you leave the grocery store and you realize that, Hey,
I didn't get my butter and I know I paid
for it.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Are you going to drive all the way back? Probably not.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
No. So when you go to Costco, at least you
know what you're paying up front and you don't have
to deal with some app that may or may not
give you the price you think you're gonna get.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Do you have the highest level we do that special
shopping on a Sunday.
Speaker 8 (33:10):
No, I'm not at that level in society at this point.
I'm just one of the pleabs. But when I say it,
you take offense to that. Do you want to go
through the list of things we can and can't call
each other but that we can say about ourselves?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No, no, because you.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Don't want to do that, you have to break I
think it might be funny for people.
