Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, if I'm o Kelly. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And I got some thoughts tonight. I'm not
gonna be over the top, but I've been thinking all
day long. I've been wondering about what is gonna happen
to this country.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I'm concerned about it, but I'm not naive whatever's gonna
happen is gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But I notice some.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Things, and I want to acknowledge some things, and it
seems like we're headed in the wrong direction. And this
is not a political comment. This has to do with
larger society, how we are as people. But before and
what we'll get into that, did want to give you
an update on the Franklin Fire in Malibu, which has
(01:06):
now exceeded four thousand acres.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Thousands do remain evacuated.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And the main issue today, or the concern, I should say,
is that the wind and how that has shifted the
fire in different directions overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, and it's
about seven percent contained. And there was an early morning
news conference you might have heard it. La County Fire
Department Chief Anthony Moroney said the fire increased in size
(01:33):
by thirty nine percent, most significantly on the western edge.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
That was the troubling.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
News, but there was a little bit more, I would
say good news as the day progressed.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
This is Aaron Katski from ABC News.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Hours earlier than had been planned, the National Weather Service
lifted the red flag fire warning. It was a result
of much improved weather conditions on the fire line. Road
closures that were in place because the fire danger have
now been lifted, and power is being restored where it
was turned off by Southern California Edison to prevent wildfires
in case power lines came down in the wind.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's the Franklin fire update. We'll have more each hour
as we go through the evening. I'm sure Mark Ronner,
good evening, Mark Ronner and the KFI twenty five our
newsroom will have information for you as it comes in.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We're on top of it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
MO.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
How you doing.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm doing well. Actually, I'm a little pensive tonight. I'm
a little concerned about America more than usual.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I have been thinking about the same issue you were.
It's all over all social media. It's inescapable. Okay, then
let's work through this together.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And I thought about this and this is what came
to me today. It seems that we as a country
are okay with murder.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I said, murder. We are okay with murder.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We're okay with vigilantism just as long as the right
person is dead. So long as the right person is dead,
and right is obviously subjective, you're a okay with someone
being murdered. And before you say no, not me, No,
I mean it's you. It's you, And this transcends politics.
(03:09):
I mean yeah. We could run down the list of
names and see where the people fall on the political spectrum.
We could talk about George Zimmerman and you probably land
on the issue depending on what you feel about Trayvon Martin.
If he was the right person to be killed, then
you're okay with George Zimmerman. Kyle Rittenhouse, if you're okay
with who he killed, then you're okay with that type
(03:31):
of vigilantism.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Daniel Pitty in the news right now.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And I keep on going, and of course, Luigi Mangioni,
we are okay with murking people my term, so long
as we don't like the person who died. And we
will do backflips, we will do contortions, we will make
every excuse in the world to make excuses for that.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And we talk about comic books and movies all the time.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And I'm here to tell you Batman, the Punisher, and
I know Tawalla loves The Punisher, Daredevil, they're not actually heroes.
What they're doing is criminal. You can't actually just take
the law into your own hands. And I was just
doing my own anecdotal survey of social media tonight and
I was really really taken aback by the swell of
(04:25):
support for Luigi Mangioni. How he somehow, with some guardian
angel or doing the work that some of us wanted
to happen. How the killing and the murder of the
United Healthcare CEO was somehow justified, It was acceptable because
of all the deaths paraphrasing that these big farmer or
(04:49):
health care corporations are responsible for.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Brian Thompson supposedly had it coming.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And now it's expanding beyond just Brian Thompson want you
to listen to this.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
This is again Aaron Katirski.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
The NYPD is alarmed. The alleged killer is seen by
some as a martyr, inspiring wanted posters outside the New
York Stock exchange with the names of other corporate executives.
A new law enforcement bulletin obtained by ABC News warns
many social media users have outright advocated for the continued
killings of CEOs, with some aiming to spread fear by
(05:24):
posting hit lists.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
We have a sickness in this country.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
We can intellectually disagree, we can vieently dislike healthcare companies.
They are practices, the policies, even the people connected to them.
But the moment we say yeah, it's okay that someone
just walked up in the middle of the day and
shot someone in the back of the back, you know,
(05:49):
broad daylight, that's okay, the minute we get there, we
have gone way too far. We have lost the whole
plot of the story. We've lost our way. Next one
to play for you, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who's obviously
prosecuting this case because this is his jurisdiction.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Listen to what he had to.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Say, as other prosecutors do here, spend time, you know,
with families of promise, not victims, with survivors of violent crime.
That's the centerpiece of our work. And to think that
there are others celebrating this conduct is beyond comprehension to me.
(06:31):
Celebrating murders abhorreds. You know, for me, I sit across
the table from families who've had a loved one killed,
and to think of people celebrating that, it so shouts.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You've wrapped my mind around that.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
It is very scary, and it is something that has
the intention of so many who live here, so many
who come to work here, and rightfully so obviously this
is a profound, profoundly disturbing. As we've allized murderer and yeah,
(07:17):
I mean, we would not charge the person, we didn't
think it was the person, and we're prepared to go forward.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I don't know what the hell is going on with America,
because this is who we are as a country. We're
okay with executing someone in broad daylight. And I'm not
talking about the other conversation as well. He was someone
who was very rich and important, so therefore that's the
only people we care about. No, no, no, I'm talking about
(07:44):
how it was done and how people are responding to it.
There are a number of people out there who are okay,
absolutely fine with someone walking up and executing another individual
in the middle of the day because they don't agree
with the policies of the company that that person worked for,
(08:07):
represented or led as an executive.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
How in the f did we get here?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
How is it okay to condone murder just as long
as you don't like the murdered. That's not even the
slippery slope. We're already at the bottom. You can't slide
anymore than that, you know. That's what It's been on
my mind all day long because everywhere I looked on
social media, again anecdotal, but everywhere I looked, there was nothing,
(08:33):
for the most part but praise for this dude.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I don't know what more I can really say, because
once you start justifying murder just because you don't like
the deceased, what is there to talk about? What is
there to debate, What is there to discuss? Because we
feel very strongly about a lot of people. There was
someone who tried to kill former President Trump, and there
(08:58):
were a lot of people who are okay with that,
And I think that's part of the same sickness where
if we're okay with that person dying, then the methods
don't even matter. What's the point of talking about the
justice system if if it only means that we just
need to be okay with that person being murdered. If
(09:19):
that is the benchmark, then no, we're not the shining
city on the hill. No, we are not indicative of
so called American exceptionalism.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That was just on my mind today, kind of despondent,
kind of a disbelief because someone will get murdered tomorrow
and then they will be well, was he a Republican?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Well he probably supported Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, well, I can understand why that someone will want
him dead.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's where we are in America.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Congratulations, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And finally, finally, finally, if you're going to get a ticket,
they're not going to try to at least suck out
all of your money because now people in LA can
text to pay some of their public parking meters.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You run out there, you put some quarters in it,
or it only allows you an hour maximum or two
hour maximum, and you're waiting in line to go maybe
to a restaurant, so that takes up thirty five to
forty minutes. And then when you finally get seated, you
think like, well, how much time do I have on
the meter? And so you have to run out there,
and some of the meters are old. They don't have
the ability to accept credit cards or debit cards. Got
(10:41):
to have quarters, and some of the meters not all
of them, but some of the meters are still like that,
or even still you have to keep running back and
forth to feed the meter. That is now slowly changing
as people can now text to pay some of their
public parking meters. This according to the LA Department of Transportation.
La DOT has partnered with two apps, park Smarter and
(11:04):
park Mobile, which are available in specific parts of the city.
So it's not going to be a cure all. It's
not going to address all parking in meters in La.
This is basically in two areas. It's like Large Mountain
and Little Tokyo. It's slowly rolling out.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
This is how it works. It can send you a
reminder message when your meter is almost up, and that's
both options, both of those apps, park Smarter and park Mobile,
and it will let you add more time without walking back.
Thank you Jesus. How long did that take?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
You?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Remember when we were at USC for the debate.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
And that is the option that they had for their
parking lots, like you could park in the lot and
we were able to text and add money to the
ticket and we can increase it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Then I said, why isn't this ever? I have no idea.
And this is the simple stuff. I mean, we can
pay for every we could make donations. Hey, you know,
text such and such and such and such and such
and such a and then you either make a donation.
It's all there. The infrastructure for this is there. Why
this hasn't happened sooner? Why this is not more expansive?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh, actually I do know, because if you make it
more difficult to pay, then you're more likely to get
a ticket, a parking ticket, and you have to pay
the seventy dollars parking ticket instead of the two dollars
to extend your time at the meter. Oh shame, that's
all it is. You have to think about, you know,
(12:39):
do you really need to charge someone some seventy dollars
because they were at the meter five minutes longer that
they had paid for It's basically trash seventy dollars. Some places,
it's more or if you do it, let's say in Hollywood,
you get your car towed.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
They're trying to fleece us.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
No, they have been for many, many years, So it
wasn't it wasn't a problem that needed a solution. It
was a problem and they knew the solution and had
no desire to implement it. And hopefully they're trying to
avoid these situations. Have you ever got into it with
a meter person? I can't say meter maid a meter person.
(13:20):
Is that politically correct? We can't say meter maid anymore.
I don't think some meter people know meter people. Wait,
there are people, Yeah, I don't think so, but I
think that would be inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Meter person, you can't say anything anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Hey, hey, Mark, Back when I was double birding people,
I remember there was this and it was the city
of Culver City. I know exactly where I was. And
this meter maid, who happened to be male, was determined
on a Saturday at twelve pm to give me a ticket.
(13:56):
And I was inside teaching martial arts class. This is
I want to say, early two thousands, and he was
determined and he was gonna get in mouth. He's like, nope,
I've already started writing a ticket. What do you mean started?
What does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Well, you couldn't possibly stop writing the ticket right a
meter human, or.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You could incorrectly put down my ven number. There are
all sorts of ways that you can not actually give
me a ticket. Oh no, you don't understand how this works.
Once they set into motion, you can't reverse it. There's
no stopping. Oh, but it got worse because my registration
had expired in my you know, because you have to
(14:37):
renew your registration by I don't know, September of two
thousand and five, and it was maybe like October seventh
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He gave me a ticket for that as well.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh you're lucky he didn't shoot you. The meter beans
are out. Oh he didn't have a gun, so I
wasn't worried about that. So I meter maids don't get
guns anymore. I don't meter people or meter beans, meter humans,
meter entities.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yes, as I was saying, I got loud with him,
and he got loud with me, and at that point
I said, look, you've already give me the tickets.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
What are you gonna do? What? What the effort you
gonna do? Meter maid just paid for the right to
chew him mouth. Well, that's my point.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It's like, well, I'm gonna get my money's worth. At
that point, you've already written a ticket. There's nothing else
you like. I'm not gonna touch you, but if you
come to me, put your hands on me, then I
want to put you in the dirt.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
So at that point, yes, I was egging him slash
her on the meter maid. Wait, so which was it
him or her?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It was a hymn, but I won't give him the
respect of calling him him a hymn. I see, he's
probably listening right now, or she's probably listening. But I
don't want the audience to get confused.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It was a hymn.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm not gonna accord him the respect of a him.
It was a hymn, but he pece sitting down, it
was it was what's the word I should I should say?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I heard that. I just didn't want to acknowledge that.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Come on, you don't need clearance for very unmanly behavior
by him.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Are you saying he was akin to a female dog? Yes,
it was beyac assness. Oh, okay, those are people, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, it was definitely a person. Definitely a person.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And it's one of those things where going back to
the story, yeah, you you were trying to get revenue
for the city.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I'm not saying that there was about some quote. I'm
not saying that he gets a percentage of the revenue.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm saying far too many years people just like me
have had to deal with that where you have these
fake rules where you can't stop writing the take it
or you have to do this, and I'm going to
ding you for your registration. All I'm saying is if
she was on fire, the heat, you know, the meter
(16:49):
maid was on fire, I wouldn't even spin on them.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
The save them.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I love that old Beatles song, you know the song
lovely read a meter person. I don't know that one.
It doesn't exist. Come foosh, give me something. It's began,
just began. I still think he deserved the latent one
for that sitting down one.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It doesn't nothing matters.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That was I will say in Mark's defense, that's Stephan
doesn't really care about us anymore. He doesn't listen to us,
he doesn't love us, he doesn't really give it give
us any rim shots anymore. He's plotting his escape. He
is like about his next job. He's already moved on.
He's he's given us two weeks in his mind. He
(17:34):
just hasn't actually handed it in all. That was very funny,
and I got nothing for it. See that's exactly what
I mean, got nothing for it. Got it not a
damn thing, not a just like being at home. That's
not only funny, it's true.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
True.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
There's a lot of truth in comedy. Let's talk about
Tackle Bell when we come back. You're Kiero Tackle Bell,
Kiero rim shut can't I am six forty. We're live everywhere,
and you will not get that. You have a better
chance of getting the Taco Bell. Chlupa. We're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty Taco Bell.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Their biggest innovation experience is supposedly back Live Mos Live, Yeah,
Live Mos Live, set to unveil twenty twenty five surprises,
and they misspell biggis on their own website.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Such a shame, Such a shame? Did they really?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They did?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's bigas it has only one g I'm taking this
directly from their website. I mean, no one proof read
the headline Taco Bell's bigas innovation. That's why I slowed down.
It's like, no, they did, not, Yes they did. Maybe
they need help in the marketing department. They're calling it
live mos live. Why don't they call it like taco con?
(18:58):
Taco con had Taco con sounds so much better because,
let's be honest, how innovative can you be with a
Mexican pizza or a chiloupa? It kind of is what
it is. You can try to change the marketing, but
you can't really be innovative with it unless you like,
put black olives on it and I'm not gonna eat it.
Then maybe Mark Ronnert, don't laugh my jokes and not
(19:19):
give me a rip doot, don't do it. Foush I
would eat black olives on a taco. He would eat
black olives on a taco, but not Chitlin's. I don't
understand what is wrong with you.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I want to bring this to you, but I think
this one time I might have the normal physician on this,
the hating chit a Chitlin taco, not even them.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Taco Bell is quote unquote setting the stage for twenty
twenty five with the return of Live Mass Live on
January twenty eighth at the Iconic Hollywood Palladium. The brands
tech inspired Live Moss Live. And it looks like if
you saw the one from last year. It's like a
Ted Talk or a Steam Jobs kind of unveiling.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's pretty official looking.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It's yeah, it's you know, they have the whole person
come out on stage and unveil all the products and everything.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It's like like a Google event. That's the only way
I can describe it.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Just with Shilpas. Right for tacos, How what's a taco
got to do with any tech? It's it's a taco.
It's Moss. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Look a mass it, says The brands tech inspired Live
Mos Live Experiences back for an encore performance to unveil
twenty twenty five's biggest innovations on and off the menu.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Attendees will get exclusive access to.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Cutting edge products, groundbreaking partnerships, live entertainment, and the ultimate
fan celebration. Who the hell is a fan of Taco bell?
I mean, yeah, you may like the food, but you
would consider yourself a fan.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I was so jealous. I had some radio friends that
got to go to that last one.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I was so jealous they got to because they not
only get to see the first time it's announced, they
have them there so you can try them. Yeah, because
you can taste them. It's a taco food. No, it's
not just tacos. There's other stuff that they're coming out
with a different form. What other stuff, Well, that's when
they I don't remember now because this was like a
year ago. I think they kept trying to think what
(21:13):
they put, like mayonnaise on it they put?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I mean no, look I see now this year they
have the cheesy chicken crispinada. Wait, I mean what the
cheesy street chaloupa.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh they have street chilopass as opposed to what suburban.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Prostitutes. Oh a big cheese it crunch wrap supreme.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I want to try that so bad. Wait, they're selling gelato.
This this is why you go. They're selling gelato at
Taco Bell.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
There's selling Italian ice cream at Taco Bell, which is
is fake Mexican food.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
But this is this is uh Mexican aspired gelato.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Then they need to they need to call it that.
Call it gelatto oopa or gelato conqueso or something. Gelatto sada. Yes,
but do you say Gelatto? I'm thinking Italy, the Big
Cheese it crunch Wrap Supreme. They have a lot of
product cross promotion in here. They have the dew as
(22:12):
in like Mountain Dew Baja Blast. I think, yeah, Mountain
dew Baja blasts the Big Cheese at crunch Wrap Supreme.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Hold on, they're selling coffee now, they've been selling coffee.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I don't go to Taco Bell is coffee at Taco
Bell redundant.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I mean the things coffee makes you. Do you?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Taco Bell Foods got you covered? Look, Mark, I will
not take this Taco Bell slam. Okay, it's effective, that's
all I'm saying. Mark, we're on the same side. I
cannot eat Taco Bell.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Don't read the ingredients like one taco has four thousand
grams of sodium. Your heart is going to explode before
you get back to the car.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Oh, Boots and I are fine. I'm fine with that.
Go out smiling at least.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
No, you won't be smiling after your heart attack. I
promise you. You might be seated though. Oh, I don't
need your charity. That was actually funnier than the joke. Okay,
Taco Bell continues investing in fan for it experiences that
(23:17):
go beyond menu innovation. By embracing digital first solutions, fostering creativity,
and rewarding loyal fans like Foush, Taco Bell is building
a culture of connection and collaboration that puts fans in
the driver's seat. What the hell does all that mean?
That wasn't a word salad. That was like a word
seven course meal the porcelain drivers. That's definitely pandering, I
(23:40):
would say, whether tuning in from home or experiencing the
incitement live from La, don't miss your chance to get
a sneak peak of Taco Bell's most exciting year yet.
For updates on tickets, fun surprises. You got to get
a ticket to go to this.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You just can't.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It can't be just general admission. Just walk up and
walk in. That is a healthy amount of self regard.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Stock No Bell They giving away tickets, but you can
go to Taco Bell dot com, Forward Slash Live, Moss Live,
Moss Live and sign up for Taco Bell Rewards to
stay in the no check out Live Moss Live twenty
twenty four and relive the unveils and they have a

you gonna do? You're gonna sign up. You're gonna sign it.
You're actually gonna be there. You'll be our correspondent there.
You gotta report to us about the cheese it thing.
Because here's what they do.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
They make foods that are so grotesquely trashy junk foods
that you think to yourself, Oh, I've got to try that.
I've got to try the Dorrito taco, of course I do.
Haven't they done taco flaming Cheetos yet? That's kind of
what brought them back when they did the Dorito's taco. Yeah,
that Dorito's local stock. I cannot get enough of those.
I can't eat like you guys do eat. I don't
(24:56):
know how you do it.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Not only are you can just gonna wake up dehydrated
from all the salt. Your air ass is going to
be on fire. Do you sleep on the painter's turf?
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Tell them, Mark, this story only ends one way.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
How is your body even used to that stuff? The
tacos taco does not produce that it is delicious, so it.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Probably RiPPs up your intestines all the way through it,
doesn't you probably look like that floating Baron Harkonen from
Doune after eat one of those things.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh is that the guy in the pit?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
No? No, no, that's the guy that floats around because
he's all stuff. He can't move, He just has a
floating But that's not Look, that's not what happens to foods.
You know, if you go you report on it directly.
I need to know firsthand what deliciousness was.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
We need to know for sure.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I am not going to the Hollywood Palladium to eat
some fast food that I could get on the way in.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
You cannot. It's it's a world premiere.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Well, actually, I kind of agree with the Taco Con
because it's like comic Con. There's exclusives. I bet it
smells better. I told you it was a great idea.
They should call it Taco Con.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
People camp out outside the hall eight.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Taco con it okay? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
How about changing the slogan to Moss Meat Tour. It's
not just meat though, oh meat?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Is it meat?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Or is it meat? Like? Have we ever gotten to
the bottom of those to be meat?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
But you may remember, like with Jack in the Box,
they had a problem with like horse meat or something.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Yeah, they're yeah, I think that there's additives. So to
be accurate, wouldn't you want to call it meat esque meat?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
And Jason?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah, not even this stuff is meat. What are you
guys talking about?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Then it's all byproduct of something or another. There aren't
enough cows to support all the fast food restaurants out,
but that still makes it meat.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Just don't know what.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
It can be straight roadkill. It could be possible.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's still meet.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That is still be skunk roadkill all that, Yeah, possible,
it's still meet a little.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Bit of seasoning goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
This Later with Mo Kelly, KIM six forty, Kid Ben,
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I think the pendulum is swinging in the other direction.
For many years now, we have talked about how travel
and tourism ebbs and flows, and how I would say
airbnb had taken over the market in many ways people
were traveling and choosing and looking first for an airbnb
(27:44):
as opposed to a traditional hotel. I was never that person.
I think I've stayed in one airbnb my whole life.
One and that was like a house with six bedrooms
and not too far from Coachella, and my family went
out there for like a vacation.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
It wasn't even my choice.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They said it'd be better that way because then we
can be all in one location as opposed to six
different hotel rooms. Well, it seems now it's going back
in the other direction and people are choosing hotels so
much so that you're seeing more and more hotels popping up.
For example, we told you about the new hotel which
is getting ready to pop up next to Sofi Stadium.
(28:29):
Now I'm going to tell you about Universal Studios, Hollywood's
first hotel, I should say front Gate Hotel, which is
gonna be like right there. If you ever go to Disneyland,
they have all those hotels which are like right on
the Disneyland campus.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Same thing here.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Universal Studios is trying to go down that same route
and this will be a five hundred room hotel and
it's gonna be right next to that iconic Universal globe
that you always see when you're going into the park
and the sites plan for the Universal Project five point
fifteen outline the footprint, and it's going to be a
crescent excuse me, a crescent shaped hotel across from the
(29:07):
studio arch framing the theme park entrance. So just like Disneyland,
you can walk from your hotel straight into the park.
If you're familiar with the area, Yes, they have hotels.
I think it's like this Universal Hilton and I think
Universal Share ten, which are pretty close. But this will
be right there where you could fall out the window.
(29:29):
Not hoping for that, but you could. You could fall
out the window and then you're like right next to
the turros that they're selling or something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Ouch.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
The seven billion dollar Evolution Plan help lay out Universal's
long term plan for expanding the existing studio, expand the
theme park, and CityWalk outdoor shopping mall.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Haven't.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I used to live in Studio City, so I would
go to CityWalk rather often. I love CityWalk, with the
exception of the parking because they were trying to make
you pay like twenty dollars and all I want to
do is go to CityWalk and see a movie or something.
That was always problematic, but I liked the experience of Citywalker,
had enough food offerings. The movie theater, at least back
in the day, was top notch. We went to CityWalk
(30:16):
one time. What did we go to see was that
the Aquaman No, I think it was Aquaman Aquaman two, right, Yeah, yeah,
that was that was that one that City believe.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
So, yeah, I must have blocked that out because I
think Aquaman two gave me PTSD because it was bad.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But I'm saying I think that was the last time
I went to CityWalk. It's not something that I would
go to that much anymore. But I can see how
a hotel would be perfect when you're talking about all
the properties, and you have the studio, when you have
the theme park, when you have City Walk. Yeah, and
CityWalk used to be the place to hang out, especially
(30:52):
when you're like in your twenties or something.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Now I think they shut all that down. I think
they clean out all the young people.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
No, no, no, no, they don't allow so much loitering anymore.
Like you can't just be upstairs in the eating area
if you're not eating, you know, you do have to
have food. You can't because they do have security and patrols.
But I can see this. I can see this, especially
because Universal cities, universal studios is one of the most
affordable theme parks. So if you have reasonably priced rooms there, yeah,
(31:21):
you can go and hang out, walk in, go get dinner,
come back. But they'll probably have a club something there.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yes, and this obviously is a part of a new
plan to monetize these properties. You can look, if you
have the land, you build a hotel, you charge outlandish
rates for them, and it's almost like having a parking lot.
It just churns money. And it's something that is real
easy in the grand scheme of things. It's not as
(31:49):
complex as a as an actual theme park. And you
can tell going back to what I was seeing at
the top of the segment, this seems to be the
trend this. People are moving back away from Airbnb. You
can talk about Universal Orlando. They have three Universal branded hotels,
three Low's partner hotels, and three new hotels on the way.
(32:10):
They're not going to build these hotels unless the money
and I'll say the analytics suggests that these are the
business decisions to make in this not only economic climate,
but the trend is people are going back to hotels.
I really don't want to use it in Airbnb anymore.
I don't want to have to think about the cameras.
(32:32):
I don't want to have to think about who may
walk in, who has access.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I don't want to think about those.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I would rather worry about the cameras than who's going
to walk in at the hotel.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Don't the airbnbs also make it cleanup after yourself, some dude,
that's the whole point of going to a hotel so
you can live like a dirty pig.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Well, I want to go to a hotel and if
I need something, I pick up the phone and someone
will bring it to me right then, including food, towels, strippers, whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
It may be.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Talent, yes, talent, but Airbnb is like, no, it's not
the same. And it used to be Airbnb was far
more economical. I don't know if that's the case anymore.
I really don't. And yeah, exactly what I was going
to bring up. Airbnb basically at this point costs as
much as a hotel room and you don't get all
(33:18):
the the what is it, the yeah, the room service,
the fresh tie, you don't get all that. No, but
now they have a cleaning fee, a service fee, a
visiting fee. You know it's crazy. Well, see, there you go,
a visiting fee they have. No, they're all sorts of
fees in there. They because people have been trashing them,
(33:40):
so now they have to add all this extra stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yeah, Hi, Mark, they want you to trash hotels. That's
part of what you're paying for.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I don't say.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I can say that I've never trashed the hotel. I've
left it very untidy.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, that's the beauty of it.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
But when you say trash hotels, Tula and I can
attest to this. We've seen some trash hotels where they
would be condemned and we're leaving like ten thousand dollars
or more worth of damage. Yeah, that's rockstar trashing you
and I don't get to do that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Leaving the towels on the bathroom floor, not making the bed,
that is, that's part of your vacation.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Oh think about when I go into a hotel and
they had that little placard up there say if you
leave a towel on the floor, that means you want
a fresh one. But we're trying to conserve water, so
if you can just reuse your towels, I'm not paying
two hundred dollars a night to conserve water. Conservatives I'm
already paid for this. I'm getting everything that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You think you're talking to.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
My showers are an hour old.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Absolutely, I'm going to use every bit of hot water
there's available.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
That's what you do. K IF I am six forty.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

Blute Enhancing Pharmacy grade and stimulating cork k s I

Ehart Radio app
Yeah, if I'm o Kelly. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And I got some thoughts tonight. I'm not
gonna be over the top, but I've been thinking all
day long. I've been wondering about what is gonna happen
to this country.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I'm concerned about it, but I'm not naive whatever's gonna
happen is gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But I notice some.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Things, and I want to acknowledge some things, and it
seems like we're headed in the wrong direction. And this
is not a political comment. This has to do with
larger society, how we are as people. But before and
what we'll get into that, did want to give you
an update on the Franklin Fire in Malibu, which has
(01:06):
now exceeded four thousand acres.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Thousands do remain evacuated.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And the main issue today, or the concern, I should say,
is that the wind and how that has shifted the
fire in different directions overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, and it's
about seven percent contained. And there was an early morning
news conference you might have heard it. La County Fire
Department Chief Anthony Moroney said the fire increased in size
(01:33):
by thirty nine percent, most significantly on the western edge.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
That was the troubling.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
News, but there was a little bit more, I would
say good news as the day progressed.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
This is Aaron Katski from ABC News.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Hours earlier than had been planned, the National Weather Service
lifted the red flag fire warning. It was a result
of much improved weather conditions on the fire line. Road
closures that were in place because the fire danger have
now been lifted, and power is being restored where it
was turned off by Southern California Edison to prevent wildfires
in case power lines came down in the wind.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's the Franklin fire update. We'll have more each hour
as we go through the evening. I'm sure Mark Ronner,
good evening, Mark Ronner and the KFI twenty five our
newsroom will have information for you as it comes in.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We're on top of it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
MO.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
How you doing.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm doing well. Actually, I'm a little pensive tonight. I'm
a little concerned about America more than usual.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I have been thinking about the same issue you were.
It's all over all social media. It's inescapable. Okay, then
let's work through this together.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And I thought about this and this is what came
to me today. It seems that we as a country
are okay with murder.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I said, murder. We are okay with murder.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We're okay with vigilantism just as long as the right
person is dead. So long as the right person is dead,
and right is obviously subjective, you're a okay with someone
being murdered. And before you say no, not me, No,
I mean it's you. It's you, And this transcends politics.
(03:09):
I mean yeah. We could run down the list of
names and see where the people fall on the political spectrum.
We could talk about George Zimmerman and you probably land
on the issue depending on what you feel about Trayvon Martin.
If he was the right person to be killed, then
you're okay with George Zimmerman. Kyle Rittenhouse, if you're okay
with who he killed, then you're okay with that type
(03:31):
of vigilantism.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Daniel Pitty in the news right now.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And I keep on going, and of course, Luigi Mangioni,
we are okay with murking people my term, so long
as we don't like the person who died. And we
will do backflips, we will do contortions, we will make
every excuse in the world to make excuses for that.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And we talk about comic books and movies all the time.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And I'm here to tell you Batman, the Punisher, and
I know Tawalla loves The Punisher, Daredevil, they're not actually heroes.
What they're doing is criminal. You can't actually just take
the law into your own hands. And I was just
doing my own anecdotal survey of social media tonight and
I was really really taken aback by the swell of
(04:25):
support for Luigi Mangioni. How he somehow, with some guardian
angel or doing the work that some of us wanted
to happen. How the killing and the murder of the
United Healthcare CEO was somehow justified, It was acceptable because
of all the deaths paraphrasing that these big farmer or
(04:49):
health care corporations are responsible for.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Brian Thompson supposedly had it coming.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And now it's expanding beyond just Brian Thompson want you
to listen to this.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
This is again Aaron Katirski.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
The NYPD is alarmed. The alleged killer is seen by
some as a martyr, inspiring wanted posters outside the New
York Stock exchange with the names of other corporate executives.
A new law enforcement bulletin obtained by ABC News warns
many social media users have outright advocated for the continued
killings of CEOs, with some aiming to spread fear by
(05:24):
posting hit lists.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
We have a sickness in this country.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
We can intellectually disagree, we can vieently dislike healthcare companies.
They are practices, the policies, even the people connected to them.
But the moment we say yeah, it's okay that someone
just walked up in the middle of the day and
shot someone in the back of the back, you know,
(05:49):
broad daylight, that's okay, the minute we get there, we
have gone way too far. We have lost the whole
plot of the story. We've lost our way. Next one
to play for you, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who's obviously
prosecuting this case because this is his jurisdiction.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Listen to what he had to.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Say, as other prosecutors do here, spend time, you know,
with families of promise, not victims, with survivors of violent crime.
That's the centerpiece of our work. And to think that
there are others celebrating this conduct is beyond comprehension to me.
(06:31):
Celebrating murders abhorreds. You know, for me, I sit across
the table from families who've had a loved one killed,
and to think of people celebrating that, it so shouts.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You've wrapped my mind around that.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
It is very scary, and it is something that has
the intention of so many who live here, so many
who come to work here, and rightfully so obviously this
is a profound, profoundly disturbing. As we've allized murderer and yeah,
(07:17):
I mean, we would not charge the person, we didn't
think it was the person, and we're prepared to go forward.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I don't know what the hell is going on with America,
because this is who we are as a country. We're
okay with executing someone in broad daylight. And I'm not
talking about the other conversation as well. He was someone
who was very rich and important, so therefore that's the
only people we care about. No, no, no, I'm talking about
(07:44):
how it was done and how people are responding to it.
There are a number of people out there who are okay,
absolutely fine with someone walking up and executing another individual
in the middle of the day because they don't agree
with the policies of the company that that person worked for,
(08:07):
represented or led as an executive.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
How in the f did we get here?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
How is it okay to condone murder just as long
as you don't like the murdered. That's not even the
slippery slope. We're already at the bottom. You can't slide
anymore than that, you know. That's what It's been on
my mind all day long because everywhere I looked on
social media, again anecdotal, but everywhere I looked, there was nothing,
(08:33):
for the most part but praise for this dude.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I don't know what more I can really say, because
once you start justifying murder just because you don't like
the deceased, what is there to talk about? What is
there to debate, What is there to discuss? Because we
feel very strongly about a lot of people. There was
someone who tried to kill former President Trump, and there
(08:58):
were a lot of people who are okay with that,
And I think that's part of the same sickness where
if we're okay with that person dying, then the methods
don't even matter. What's the point of talking about the
justice system if if it only means that we just
need to be okay with that person being murdered. If
(09:19):
that is the benchmark, then no, we're not the shining
city on the hill. No, we are not indicative of
so called American exceptionalism.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That was just on my mind today, kind of despondent,
kind of a disbelief because someone will get murdered tomorrow
and then they will be well, was he a Republican?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Well he probably supported Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, well, I can understand why that someone will want
him dead.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's where we are in America.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Congratulations, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And finally, finally, finally, if you're going to get a ticket,
they're not going to try to at least suck out
all of your money because now people in LA can
text to pay some of their public parking meters.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You run out there, you put some quarters in it,
or it only allows you an hour maximum or two
hour maximum, and you're waiting in line to go maybe
to a restaurant, so that takes up thirty five to
forty minutes. And then when you finally get seated, you
think like, well, how much time do I have on
the meter? And so you have to run out there,
and some of the meters are old. They don't have
the ability to accept credit cards or debit cards. Got
(10:41):
to have quarters, and some of the meters not all
of them, but some of the meters are still like that,
or even still you have to keep running back and
forth to feed the meter. That is now slowly changing
as people can now text to pay some of their
public parking meters. This according to the LA Department of Transportation.
La DOT has partnered with two apps, park Smarter and
(11:04):
park Mobile, which are available in specific parts of the city.
So it's not going to be a cure all. It's
not going to address all parking in meters in La.
This is basically in two areas. It's like Large Mountain
and Little Tokyo. It's slowly rolling out.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
This is how it works. It can send you a
reminder message when your meter is almost up, and that's
both options, both of those apps, park Smarter and park Mobile,
and it will let you add more time without walking back.
Thank you Jesus. How long did that take?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
You?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Remember when we were at USC for the debate.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
And that is the option that they had for their
parking lots, like you could park in the lot and
we were able to text and add money to the
ticket and we can increase it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Then I said, why isn't this ever? I have no idea.
And this is the simple stuff. I mean, we can
pay for every we could make donations. Hey, you know,
text such and such and such and such and such
and such a and then you either make a donation.
It's all there. The infrastructure for this is there. Why
this hasn't happened sooner? Why this is not more expansive?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh, actually I do know, because if you make it
more difficult to pay, then you're more likely to get
a ticket, a parking ticket, and you have to pay
the seventy dollars parking ticket instead of the two dollars
to extend your time at the meter. Oh shame, that's
all it is. You have to think about, you know,
(12:39):
do you really need to charge someone some seventy dollars
because they were at the meter five minutes longer that
they had paid for It's basically trash seventy dollars. Some places,
it's more or if you do it, let's say in Hollywood,
you get your car towed.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
They're trying to fleece us.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
No, they have been for many, many years, So it
wasn't it wasn't a problem that needed a solution. It
was a problem and they knew the solution and had
no desire to implement it. And hopefully they're trying to
avoid these situations. Have you ever got into it with
a meter person? I can't say meter maid a meter person.
(13:20):
Is that politically correct? We can't say meter maid anymore.
I don't think some meter people know meter people. Wait,
there are people, Yeah, I don't think so, but I
think that would be inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Meter person, you can't say anything anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Hey, hey, Mark, Back when I was double birding people,
I remember there was this and it was the city
of Culver City. I know exactly where I was. And
this meter maid, who happened to be male, was determined
on a Saturday at twelve pm to give me a ticket.
(13:56):
And I was inside teaching martial arts class. This is
I want to say, early two thousands, and he was
determined and he was gonna get in mouth. He's like, nope,
I've already started writing a ticket. What do you mean started?
What does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Well, you couldn't possibly stop writing the ticket right a
meter human, or.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You could incorrectly put down my ven number. There are
all sorts of ways that you can not actually give
me a ticket. Oh no, you don't understand how this works.
Once they set into motion, you can't reverse it. There's
no stopping. Oh, but it got worse because my registration
had expired in my you know, because you have to
(14:37):
renew your registration by I don't know, September of two
thousand and five, and it was maybe like October seventh
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He gave me a ticket for that as well.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh you're lucky he didn't shoot you. The meter beans
are out. Oh he didn't have a gun, so I
wasn't worried about that. So I meter maids don't get
guns anymore. I don't meter people or meter beans, meter humans,
meter entities.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yes, as I was saying, I got loud with him,
and he got loud with me, and at that point
I said, look, you've already give me the tickets.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
What are you gonna do? What? What the effort you
gonna do? Meter maid just paid for the right to
chew him mouth. Well, that's my point.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It's like, well, I'm gonna get my money's worth. At
that point, you've already written a ticket. There's nothing else
you like. I'm not gonna touch you, but if you
come to me, put your hands on me, then I
want to put you in the dirt.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
So at that point, yes, I was egging him slash
her on the meter maid. Wait, so which was it
him or her?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It was a hymn, but I won't give him the
respect of calling him him a hymn. I see, he's
probably listening right now, or she's probably listening. But I
don't want the audience to get confused.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It was a hymn.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm not gonna accord him the respect of a him.
It was a hymn, but he pece sitting down, it
was it was what's the word I should I should say?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I heard that. I just didn't want to acknowledge that.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Come on, you don't need clearance for very unmanly behavior
by him.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Are you saying he was akin to a female dog? Yes,
it was beyac assness. Oh, okay, those are people, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, it was definitely a person. Definitely a person.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And it's one of those things where going back to
the story, yeah, you you were trying to get revenue
for the city.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I'm not saying that there was about some quote. I'm
not saying that he gets a percentage of the revenue.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm saying far too many years people just like me
have had to deal with that where you have these
fake rules where you can't stop writing the take it
or you have to do this, and I'm going to
ding you for your registration. All I'm saying is if
she was on fire, the heat, you know, the meter
(16:49):
maid was on fire, I wouldn't even spin on them.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
The save them.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I love that old Beatles song, you know the song
lovely read a meter person. I don't know that one.
It doesn't exist. Come foosh, give me something. It's began,
just began. I still think he deserved the latent one
for that sitting down one.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It doesn't nothing matters.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That was I will say in Mark's defense, that's Stephan
doesn't really care about us anymore. He doesn't listen to us,
he doesn't love us, he doesn't really give it give
us any rim shots anymore. He's plotting his escape. He
is like about his next job. He's already moved on.
He's he's given us two weeks in his mind. He
(17:34):
just hasn't actually handed it in all. That was very funny,
and I got nothing for it. See that's exactly what
I mean, got nothing for it. Got it not a
damn thing, not a just like being at home. That's
not only funny, it's true.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
True.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
There's a lot of truth in comedy. Let's talk about
Tackle Bell when we come back. You're Kiero Tackle Bell,
Kiero rim shut can't I am six forty. We're live everywhere,
and you will not get that. You have a better
chance of getting the Taco Bell. Chlupa. We're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty Taco Bell.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Their biggest innovation experience is supposedly back Live Mos Live, Yeah,
Live Mos Live, set to unveil twenty twenty five surprises,
and they misspell biggis on their own website.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Such a shame, Such a shame? Did they really?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They did?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's bigas it has only one g I'm taking this
directly from their website. I mean, no one proof read
the headline Taco Bell's bigas innovation. That's why I slowed down.
It's like, no, they did, not, Yes they did. Maybe
they need help in the marketing department. They're calling it
live mos live. Why don't they call it like taco con?
(18:58):
Taco con had Taco con sounds so much better because,
let's be honest, how innovative can you be with a
Mexican pizza or a chiloupa? It kind of is what
it is. You can try to change the marketing, but
you can't really be innovative with it unless you like,
put black olives on it and I'm not gonna eat it.
Then maybe Mark Ronnert, don't laugh my jokes and not
(19:19):
give me a rip doot, don't do it. Foush I
would eat black olives on a taco. He would eat
black olives on a taco, but not Chitlin's. I don't
understand what is wrong with you.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I want to bring this to you, but I think
this one time I might have the normal physician on this,
the hating chit a Chitlin taco, not even them.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Taco Bell is quote unquote setting the stage for twenty
twenty five with the return of Live Mass Live on
January twenty eighth at the Iconic Hollywood Palladium. The brands
tech inspired Live Moss Live. And it looks like if
you saw the one from last year. It's like a
Ted Talk or a Steam Jobs kind of unveiling.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's pretty official looking.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It's yeah, it's you know, they have the whole person
come out on stage and unveil all the products and everything.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It's like like a Google event. That's the only way
I can describe it.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Just with Shilpas. Right for tacos, How what's a taco
got to do with any tech? It's it's a taco.
It's Moss. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Look a mass it, says The brands tech inspired Live
Mos Live Experiences back for an encore performance to unveil
twenty twenty five's biggest innovations on and off the menu.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Attendees will get exclusive access to.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Cutting edge products, groundbreaking partnerships, live entertainment, and the ultimate
fan celebration. Who the hell is a fan of Taco bell?
I mean, yeah, you may like the food, but you
would consider yourself a fan.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I was so jealous. I had some radio friends that
got to go to that last one.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I was so jealous they got to because they not
only get to see the first time it's announced, they
have them there so you can try them. Yeah, because
you can taste them. It's a taco food. No, it's
not just tacos. There's other stuff that they're coming out
with a different form. What other stuff, Well, that's when
they I don't remember now because this was like a
year ago. I think they kept trying to think what
(21:13):
they put, like mayonnaise on it they put?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I mean no, look I see now this year they
have the cheesy chicken crispinada. Wait, I mean what the
cheesy street chaloupa.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh they have street chilopass as opposed to what suburban.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Prostitutes. Oh a big cheese it crunch wrap supreme.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I want to try that so bad. Wait, they're selling gelato.
This this is why you go. They're selling gelato at
Taco Bell.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
There's selling Italian ice cream at Taco Bell, which is
is fake Mexican food.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
But this is this is uh Mexican aspired gelato.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Then they need to they need to call it that.
Call it gelatto oopa or gelato conqueso or something. Gelatto sada. Yes,
but do you say Gelatto? I'm thinking Italy, the Big
Cheese it crunch Wrap Supreme. They have a lot of
product cross promotion in here. They have the dew as
(22:12):
in like Mountain Dew Baja Blast. I think, yeah, Mountain
dew Baja blasts the Big Cheese at crunch Wrap Supreme.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Hold on, they're selling coffee now, they've been selling coffee.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I don't go to Taco Bell is coffee at Taco
Bell redundant.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I mean the things coffee makes you. Do you?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Taco Bell Foods got you covered? Look, Mark, I will
not take this Taco Bell slam. Okay, it's effective, that's
all I'm saying. Mark, we're on the same side. I
cannot eat Taco Bell.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Don't read the ingredients like one taco has four thousand
grams of sodium. Your heart is going to explode before
you get back to the car.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Oh, Boots and I are fine. I'm fine with that.
Go out smiling at least.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
No, you won't be smiling after your heart attack. I
promise you. You might be seated though. Oh, I don't
need your charity. That was actually funnier than the joke. Okay,
Taco Bell continues investing in fan for it experiences that
(23:17):
go beyond menu innovation. By embracing digital first solutions, fostering creativity,
and rewarding loyal fans like Foush, Taco Bell is building
a culture of connection and collaboration that puts fans in
the driver's seat. What the hell does all that mean?
That wasn't a word salad. That was like a word
seven course meal the porcelain drivers. That's definitely pandering, I
(23:40):
would say, whether tuning in from home or experiencing the
incitement live from La, don't miss your chance to get
a sneak peak of Taco Bell's most exciting year yet.
For updates on tickets, fun surprises. You got to get
a ticket to go to this.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You just can't.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It can't be just general admission. Just walk up and
walk in. That is a healthy amount of self regard.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Stock No Bell They giving away tickets, but you can

You're actually gonna be there. You'll be our correspondent there.
You gotta report to us about the cheese it thing.
Because here's what they do.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
They make foods that are so grotesquely trashy junk foods
that you think to yourself, Oh, I've got to try that.
I've got to try the Dorrito taco, of course I do.
Haven't they done taco flaming Cheetos yet? That's kind of
what brought them back when they did the Dorito's taco. Yeah,
that Dorito's local stock. I cannot get enough of those.
I can't eat like you guys do eat. I don't
(24:56):
know how you do it.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Not only are you can just gonna wake up dehydrated
from all the salt. Your air ass is going to
be on fire. Do you sleep on the painter's turf?
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Tell them, Mark, this story only ends one way.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
How is your body even used to that stuff? The
tacos taco does not produce that it is delicious, so it.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Probably RiPPs up your intestines all the way through it,
doesn't you probably look like that floating Baron Harkonen from
Doune after eat one of those things.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh is that the guy in the pit?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
No? No, no, that's the guy that floats around because
he's all stuff. He can't move, He just has a
floating But that's not Look, that's not what happens to foods.
You know, if you go you report on it directly.
I need to know firsthand what deliciousness was.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
We need to know for sure.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I am not going to the Hollywood Palladium to eat
some fast food that I could get on the way in.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
You cannot. It's it's a world premiere.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Well, actually, I kind of agree with the Taco Con
because it's like comic Con. There's exclusives. I bet it
smells better. I told you it was a great idea.
They should call it Taco Con.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
People camp out outside the hall eight.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Taco con it okay? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
How about changing the slogan to Moss Meat Tour. It's
not just meat though, oh meat?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Is it meat?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Or is it meat? Like? Have we ever gotten to
the bottom of those to be meat?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
But you may remember, like with Jack in the Box,
they had a problem with like horse meat or something.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Yeah, they're yeah, I think that there's additives. So to
be accurate, wouldn't you want to call it meat esque meat?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
And Jason?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah, not even this stuff is meat. What are you
guys talking about?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Then it's all byproduct of something or another. There aren't
enough cows to support all the fast food restaurants out,
but that still makes it meat.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Just don't know what.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
It can be straight roadkill. It could be possible.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's still meet.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That is still be skunk roadkill all that, Yeah, possible,
it's still meet a little.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Bit of seasoning goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
This Later with Mo Kelly, KIM six forty, Kid Ben,
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I think the pendulum is swinging in the other direction.
For many years now, we have talked about how travel
and tourism ebbs and flows, and how I would say
airbnb had taken over the market in many ways people
were traveling and choosing and looking first for an airbnb
(27:44):
as opposed to a traditional hotel. I was never that person.
I think I've stayed in one airbnb my whole life.
One and that was like a house with six bedrooms
and not too far from Coachella, and my family went
out there for like a vacation.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
It wasn't even my choice.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They said it'd be better that way because then we
can be all in one location as opposed to six
different hotel rooms. Well, it seems now it's going back
in the other direction and people are choosing hotels so
much so that you're seeing more and more hotels popping up.
For example, we told you about the new hotel which
is getting ready to pop up next to Sofi Stadium.
(28:29):
Now I'm going to tell you about Universal Studios, Hollywood's
first hotel, I should say front Gate Hotel, which is
gonna be like right there. If you ever go to Disneyland,
they have all those hotels which are like right on
the Disneyland campus.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Same thing here.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Universal Studios is trying to go down that same route
and this will be a five hundred room hotel and
it's gonna be right next to that iconic Universal globe
that you always see when you're going into the park
and the sites plan for the Universal Project five point
fifteen outline the footprint, and it's going to be a
crescent excuse me, a crescent shaped hotel across from the
(29:07):
studio arch framing the theme park entrance. So just like Disneyland,
you can walk from your hotel straight into the park.
If you're familiar with the area, Yes, they have hotels.
I think it's like this Universal Hilton and I think
Universal Share ten, which are pretty close. But this will
be right there where you could fall out the window.
(29:29):
Not hoping for that, but you could. You could fall
out the window and then you're like right next to
the turros that they're selling or something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Ouch.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
The seven billion dollar Evolution Plan help lay out Universal's
long term plan for expanding the existing studio, expand the
theme park, and CityWalk outdoor shopping mall.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Haven't.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I used to live in Studio City, so I would
go to CityWalk rather often. I love CityWalk, with the
exception of the parking because they were trying to make
you pay like twenty dollars and all I want to
do is go to CityWalk and see a movie or something.
That was always problematic, but I liked the experience of Citywalker,
had enough food offerings. The movie theater, at least back
in the day, was top notch. We went to CityWalk
(30:16):
one time. What did we go to see was that
the Aquaman No, I think it was Aquaman Aquaman two, right, Yeah, yeah,
that was that was that one that City believe.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
So, yeah, I must have blocked that out because I
think Aquaman two gave me PTSD because it was bad.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But I'm saying I think that was the last time
I went to CityWalk. It's not something that I would
go to that much anymore. But I can see how
a hotel would be perfect when you're talking about all
the properties, and you have the studio, when you have
the theme park, when you have City Walk. Yeah, and
CityWalk used to be the place to hang out, especially
(30:52):
when you're like in your twenties or something.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Now I think they shut all that down. I think
they clean out all the young people.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
No, no, no, no, they don't allow so much loitering anymore.
Like you can't just be upstairs in the eating area
if you're not eating, you know, you do have to
have food. You can't because they do have security and patrols.
But I can see this. I can see this, especially
because Universal cities, universal studios is one of the most
affordable theme parks. So if you have reasonably priced rooms there, yeah,
(31:21):
you can go and hang out, walk in, go get dinner,
come back. But they'll probably have a club something there.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yes, and this obviously is a part of a new
plan to monetize these properties. You can look, if you
have the land, you build a hotel, you charge outlandish
rates for them, and it's almost like having a parking lot.
It just churns money. And it's something that is real
easy in the grand scheme of things. It's not as
(31:49):
complex as a as an actual theme park. And you
can tell going back to what I was seeing at
the top of the segment, this seems to be the
trend this. People are moving back away from Airbnb. You
can talk about Universal Orlando. They have three Universal branded hotels,
three Low's partner hotels, and three new hotels on the way.
(32:10):
They're not going to build these hotels unless the money
and I'll say the analytics suggests that these are the
business decisions to make in this not only economic climate,
but the trend is people are going back to hotels.
I really don't want to use it in Airbnb anymore.
I don't want to have to think about the cameras.
(32:32):
I don't want to have to think about who may
walk in, who has access.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I don't want to think about those.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I would rather worry about the cameras than who's going
to walk in at the hotel.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Don't the airbnbs also make it cleanup after yourself, some dude,
that's the whole point of going to a hotel so
you can live like a dirty pig.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Well, I want to go to a hotel and if
I need something, I pick up the phone and someone
will bring it to me right then, including food, towels, strippers, whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
It may be.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Talent, yes, talent, but Airbnb is like, no, it's not
the same. And it used to be Airbnb was far
more economical. I don't know if that's the case anymore.
I really don't. And yeah, exactly what I was going
to bring up. Airbnb basically at this point costs as
much as a hotel room and you don't get all
(33:18):
the the what is it, the yeah, the room service,
the fresh tie, you don't get all that. No, but
now they have a cleaning fee, a service fee, a
visiting fee. You know it's crazy. Well, see, there you go,
a visiting fee they have. No, they're all sorts of
fees in there. They because people have been trashing them,
(33:40):
so now they have to add all this extra stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yeah, Hi, Mark, they want you to trash hotels. That's
part of what you're paying for.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I don't say.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I can say that I've never trashed the hotel. I've
left it very untidy.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, that's the beauty of it.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
But when you say trash hotels, Tula and I can
attest to this. We've seen some trash hotels where they
would be condemned and we're leaving like ten thousand dollars
or more worth of damage. Yeah, that's rockstar trashing you
and I don't get to do that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Leaving the towels on the bathroom floor, not making the bed,
that is, that's part of your vacation.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Oh think about when I go into a hotel and
they had that little placard up there say if you
leave a towel on the floor, that means you want
a fresh one. But we're trying to conserve water, so
if you can just reuse your towels, I'm not paying
two hundred dollars a night to conserve water. Conservatives I'm
already paid for this. I'm getting everything that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You think you're talking to.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
My showers are an hour old.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Absolutely, I'm going to use every bit of hot water
there's available.
