Okay, I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's some of the best of Later with Mo Kelly,
we are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're gonna
talk about roller coasters and rank them. But there's so
many across all the Southern California we can't do them all.
So we'll just do Magic Mountain, which is the pre
eminent thrill seeker ride enthusiast park.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And Mark, have you ever been to Magic Mountain? By chance?
Not yet?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Have you been to any of the Southern California parks.
I was at Disneyland a number of years.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Ago, about how long ago? Roughly long time?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Okay, all right, all right, So here the top ten
rides roller coasters at Magic Mountain. And I know Twala
has been relatively recently, so he probably knows better than me.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Some of these rides I have been on some of them.
I have not.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Coming in at number ten at Magic Mountain. Oh, it
helps if I turn on my computer. Batman the ride, Yeah,
that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh, I go on that. I've heard about that. That Yeah
sounds like fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Number nine Superman Escaped from Krypton. But that's such a
short ride, but it's scary as Hell, that's just the
up and back.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It is pretty sky. It makes your heart like leap
elves out. But I like the g forces on the AA.
It's just to your quaire. Number eight West Coast Racers.
I don't think I've been on that one.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
That's the one where it looks like two cars side
by side and they yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
OK, number seven full throttle. No no, not no, no, no,
these are all six flags. Yeah. Number six.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Goliath, that is that's what I said.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Hell no, awesome, Yeah, that's that's one of the little
I'm not getting on that thing. Number five Wonder Woman
Flight of Courage. It opened in twenty twenty two, and
I have not been on this one.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I have been on anything. You're looking at me.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
No, no, I dropped my kids off and they've been
on all of these and they love all of them.
They're also you know, under the age of fifty. Oh yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'm at remember how you you would go up to
these rides and they would say, do not get on
the ride, or something to the fact, do not get
on the ride if you have heart problems or you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Well, I've reached that point where I understand what they mean.
I am not.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Getting on the ride because the sensation is not pleasant. Also,
if you're incontinent, stay off the ride. That's someone else's
problem problem. Coming at number four, Twisted Colossus, I like
(03:38):
the regular Colossus.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't know that one. Yeah, well I gotta be twisted.
What are we doing here?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Look, it's a wood rollercoaster, you know, sound rickety and everything.
Number three The Revolution or the New Revolution, the updated
version of the Revolution. Classic. Yeah, it's classic right now. Classic,
but I'm wowed by it. Number two top so not
(04:09):
familiar with it.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I was like, as far as I know, that's like
one of the first ones where you're hanging like you
look down the whole time, you're writing.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, no, thank you, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And coming in at number one as far as the
best roller coaster in southern California, at least at Magic Mountain.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
X two, I knew it.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I know, I've been at the park.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I said, I refuse to get on that. I was
willing to bet my next paycheck. I was like, it's
going to be X two for sure. That one is insane.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
New Now, sir.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Fosh, you are still of that age where your heart
doesn't matter to you write, don't.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Think about it.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
The seats rotate three hundred and sixty degrees, forcing riders
at times into faced face first drops. Yeah, and it
goes on loops while you're spinning around on this X
shaped car that you're in.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Why is that fun? Why?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Like the first drop, you're actually going back, like the
lift up, you're laying back so your fate. You're looking
up at the sky and then it goes down and
you just look ninety degrees straight down and then it
keeps going back.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's not fun, that's terror. Yeah. Does somebody spit on
you at the end of it too?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah? Dude, that night here.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, uh uh, I don't know what the allure is.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
And look my blended sons and younger cousins, they can't
get enough of these rides. Even when I was a kid,
it's like, okay, that's cool. I was just going to
amusement parks because I was hoping to me to girl.
Just being serious that that was my only motivation. The
rides were secondary. The amusement park was a good place
to pick up girls. And see my kids they go
(06:04):
to literally ride the rides. They're going because they want
to get and my son, him and his friends. They're
not there trying to holler girls. No, they are there
to ride the rides and out thrill each other.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
My goal is to get some phone numbers at places
like Disneyland, because the girls were there and they usually
go in groups of you know, four or six, and
you hopefully be able to pair up and go on
Small World and do a little something on a small
World because back in the day, Small World used to
be almost pitch black.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Were you trying to pick up on the Carnie folk?
Were those No? No, no, no, no, those were adults. Now I'm
trying to pick up girls who are at the park.
I'm because if you get on Small World, you could
do some things little packs the girls, a little road. Yeah, yes,
your crew, you see another crew you try.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
To like match catch up. Thank you, twalla.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Make sure that you you find off the one you
don't want, like a you know, to take one.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
For the team. I know she's ugly, but come on, look,
you already got a girl, right, You.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Can't come on, dude, you don't need anybody like like,
go and keep her occupied.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You've never tried to hit on girls at the amusement park.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
No. I'm getting a major coolie high vibe out of
this though, Like like like preachers trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Hook up with that's hold, that's literally what it was.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I can't believe you've gone your whole life and not
tried to hook up with a girl at amusement park. Well,
pardon me, but I think that, hey, you want to
hook up on It's a Small World might send the
wrong message.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
You don't come out and say you hooked up. It's
like Mark.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Literally, there's an understanding between cruise of male and female cruise.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Like if you say, hey, so.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
You want to ride on it a Small World, know
what's happening? You already know what's it's going down. It's
Netflix and chill.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yes, Hey how about we head into the Hall of
Presidents together?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah I don't think so. The Hearted House, that's a
good ride to go on with the girl on the
House was good.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
The Caribbean, Yeah yeah, Pirates of the Caribbean. Absolutely, that
was probably the darkest one. Yeah, especially especially those seats
were still a little loose and you kind of lean
back you go down.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, how about a little Lauren Bobert activity on that
twenty thousand leagues under the Sea ride something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You mean on the submarines. Yeah, yeah, no one got
on that submarine. No trappy. It's nasty. Okay, all right,
I'm trying, Mark. This is my heart. My heart is
bleeding for you because this is it's missed out.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, you've missed out on like talk about ride of
passages for young males in southern California.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That was one of them.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You have never tried to get your freak on on.
It's a small world?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Is this shock you? Genuinely?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm being serious, Yes, it Look it was the Mile
High Club for us.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I mean I could see uh, maybe walking up to
a nice young lady and sing, how'd you like to
explore the matterhorn? Ma'am.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
We didn't use corny lines like that, and maybe that's
why you're still a version of that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Why?
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Is this is this how you know Mark has not
been to Disneyland for real? Because yeah, you don't say
the matter horn?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You don't. Yeah, Oh, Mark, what is it if it's
not the matter horn anymore?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Ah? Look at the time, you're listening to some of
the best of Later with Mo Kelly kfi Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
If you're just tuning in, you're listening to some of
the best of Later with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And if you're like me, I grew up playing Monopoly
or a version of Monopoly, and then you get older
you realize everyone kind of makes up their own rules
to Monopoly, so you're never quite sure whether you've actually
played Monopoly or played your local facsimile of it with
rules that you, your household, your friends might have just
created on the fly. But we played our version of
(10:11):
Monopoly rather frequently, and I always wanted to be the car,
but that seemed to be the more popular piece for
some reason, and I rarely ended up with a car.
I usually ended up with the shoe or the hat,
and I felt put upon. It's like, I'm not a shoe,
I'm not a hat, I'm a car. And a car
(10:31):
wasn't all that stylist to begin with. It was like
a nineteen forties roaster or something like that.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Is it? Because did it go by age or like
you just were last choose or I think that's part
of it. Didn't go by age? Yeah, I did have
senior already in my house. I was the youngest person.
I see you more as the thimble type.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Mo. Well, I'm quite sure I was the thimble somewhere
along the way you did you guys play Monopoly? Everybody
did it long there was nothing else to do back
in the old days. All we had for toys was
Lincoln logs and in the winter's snowballs and Monopoly.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Lincoln Logs with a best Did you have an erector
set to We're too poor, white trash free erector set?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That was Mark Runner. I didn't say that. That was
Mark Runner. I can say it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm just saying because look, when you get my hate mail,
they just blamed me for everything you said. No, I
did not. You can steer it at me for once.
What's your Twitter handle? I'm not on Twitter anymore. Oh,
I don't have any social media connected to work whatsoever. Okay,
all right, Stephan When you play what piece did you
find yourself most often being kind of like you?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I always wanted the car, but I always ended up
with the top Hat.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Everybody wanted the car if you're a guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And the reason I'm talking about this because Long Beach
is set to get its own version, its own edition
of Hasbro's iconic Monopoly board game, now digital.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
This is the actual board game. Top Trump's USA.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's the company which licenses the Monopoly name from Hasbro
and creates the board game. These days, they announced today
the new version of Monopoly and it's going to be
a Long Beach edition and they announced it today at
Second and Pch Shopping Center if you know where that
is in Long Beach, and some of Long Beach's beloved
(12:21):
cultural landmarks, local favorites, and other destinations will be part
of the game. It hasn't been decided yet because they're
going to leave it up to you and me.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
We hope this edition brings Monopoly fans everywhere and everything
they love about the traditional board adapted in a way
that Long Beach locals and visitors alike will enjoy for
generations to come. And the Monopoly Long Beach Edition is
supposed to hit shelves this fall, but they want you
(12:54):
to send your suggestions because it's still under development as
far as which city landmark marks should be featured on
the board by emailing Long Beach at top trumps dot com.
That's Long Beach at top trumps dot com. And I
know I would say maybe.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Pine Avenue should be on there, the AUM, the Aquarium,
Queen Mary, of course, Queen Mary. That that that goes
without saying. I'm trying to ip records. It's a it's
a local land is it is? It should be on now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
See if if it were a digital version, everyone would
have their version of Long Beach. But I'm just thinking
about some of the main.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I'm trying to think of what else as far as
Long Beach landmarks or cultural locations within the city.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I know they do the now, it's pretty known now
they do the race out there, the oh Long Beach
Rand Prix. Yeah, you could put that somewhere in somewhere somewhere. Yeah,
I would ask Mark, But he knows nothing about Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I really don't.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He doesn't know much about Disneyland, doesn't know much about
Long Beach, doesn't know much about North Almost when you
break it down like that, it's just a shame and
disappointment how little he knows about it. I just wandered
in off the street and they needed somebody to fill
a shift.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
You and your Lincoln logs together again.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No, but I'm sure this is actually very cool, and
I would have to think about what I would want
to submit. I wish Nick Poliochinni were here as a
Long Beach kid, actually Long Beach grown ass man. Now
I was just texting him. Maybe he's now to give
us a call and let us know what he would
put on the board. But I would like own. I
wonder if they have a digital version where you can
(14:40):
just put on your own streets and landmarks.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I think they do all of them.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Is the Batman Gotham City monopoly set? I bought that
and just I just still have it sealed, just because
it's incredible looking and the pieces that they have are incredible.
It's a brilliant idea because you have to make this
able and personal on some level.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
No one really gives a damn about Baltic.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Avenue, Okay, you know, if you're not familiar with Atlantic
City or something like that, you really don't care.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Or park place, no one really cares about that. But
if you're wondering whether Long Beach is the first edition
in terms of California Monopoly No Top. Trump's USA announced
the Long Beach edition a day after the company also
said it would create a monopoly Riverside edition, something like
what the Hill's in Riverside? Oh yeah, I like what
(15:36):
is in Riverside. That's a cultural landmark. But the ninety
one Freeway I can't think I can't think of I'm
sorry Riverside. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
It's not personal. We loved Riverside, but day I just
I can't fill up a board of Riverside.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
It would just be like one big, like open air,
you know, kind of desert type of place that there's.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Nothing there, going to school there. It's He's not wrong.
There's a reason why we call it river Tucky growing up. Okay,
you need some help from San Bernardino.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
You need Mo Valley. I can like a mo Valley
as then we might be able to do something. I mean, okay,
you got a space for maybe UC Riverside. Now what
that's pretty much? I know they could be mad be
in Riverside. Who at Kelly? He didn't know about this.
You don't know about this. We got the Ontario Convention Center.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Okay, now what about the other twelve spaces? You're listening
to some of the best of Later with Mo Kelly
k if I AM six forty. We are live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Right now, I have his excellency in studio, the Sultan
of Slow Jamastan and also Chief Border Agent Mark Corona. Uh,
your excellency, let me come back to you. I left
last segment with the t saying how could someone become
a citizen? You came tonight bearing gifts, and I appreciate
(17:02):
that you gave me a brochure for the Republic of
Slow Jamastan and all this other memorabelia and a formal
invitation if I wanted to take the next step, yes,
and maybe have dual citizenship or even become an ex pat.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
How do I go about doing this? Well, it is
too late.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
We talked to your robuls and we told your boss
Robin that we were ending your contracted at KFI effective
end of the month, so you will be joining us
on our first radio station in Slow Eamastan.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So for you, it's too late, my friend.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
But that's good because they've already canceled my benefit, so
I knew I was.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Halfway out the door.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
So turning back, look for all of our beautiful CAFI
listeners in radio land. As we like to say, it
is so simple, you know, trying to be a citizen
in almost every country, so much to red tape, so
much waiting bureaucracy, we said, not for us in Amason,
we make it easy. Literally, when the two clicks, two
three clicks, you can go to slow jamastan dot org.
(17:54):
Right there it says join be a citizen. You click it,
you answered a few questions. You make sure to follow
the Sultan on Instagram and Twitter and MySpace, and my friends,
you are my page too, absolutely, And let me tell
you this.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Let me tell you that's what he's the most popular.
Let me tell you.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
This for for the ladies of the Southland that are listening.
If you're on Tinder and you're swiping and all of
a sudden you see a handsome guy in a green
suit and aviators and medallions and epaulets on the shoulders,
that is that is me, That is my real pictures.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
That is the Sultan on the Tinder.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Make sure to swipe right, not left and send a heart,
and you never know you may be picked by the sultan.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
How how do you deal with the added attention? And
I think of world leaders and dictators and presidents and
and they've always enjoyed, my word, the affection and attention
of a lot of women, be they married or not.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You obviously are not married, so there's no reason for.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You to withhold or hold back from any of that.
How have you been enjoying your your I don't want
to say celebrity, but just do you have concubines?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
How does that work?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
But I'll tell you the Sultan has lots of love
to give.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That's just it's the way it is.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Ever since I was a small dought as well, when
I was in the grade school, I would try to
concentrate on my studies and you would feel dep deb
debt girls passing your notes. I appreciate it, you know,
you try to stay grounded as well. Look, right now,
the concentration is on our nation and the benefit of
the people. So I would like to say that I
have been on many affairs around the globe, but we
will keep that for the next episode, maybe for the
(19:22):
secret podcast later.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, how the resultant loves everybody. How's that all right?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, well, I know the Sultan loves everybody, but let's
be honest. We live in a world where politicians and
world leaders are often vilified and they may not be
the object of everyone's affection.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You are here tonight, to be serious.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
You are here, I will say, with your royal guard,
and you travel with security wherever you go.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
How have you had.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Any incidents or concerning moments where you were not necessarily
sure of your safety or the intentions of someone who
might have been approaching you.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Well, you know, sometimes the Americans have been meddling. We
are on a Los Angeles tour this week, and we
have the you see the security, secret the triples and
secret Service outside. Maybe I'll tront you saw the vehicles.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Let's make sure we get some of their in view
for our Instagram Live.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
We do have vehicles.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
We have a Cruiser police card, we have a Border
Patrol car as well, and we have a limousine. This week,
I'd like to tell you we have a limousine and
it is a It may have been a nineteen ninety
one Lincoln down Card, but it drives like in nineteen
ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It is very smooth.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
The air conditioning needs a little bit more free on
if the Limo company can hear us.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But this this week we drove around and we saw Hollywood.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
We stopped and we look Sultanism out of the people
we had that we walked around, explain to me.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
We went to Rodeo Drive. It was in Beverly Hills.
Oh yeah, it's Rodeo. When you're in Beverly Hills, we're
in the black part of the city, it's Rodeo. And
actually they named it, renamed it to Obama Boulevard. So
when you said Rodeo, I knew that you're in Beverly Hills.
If you said Rodeo is like, oh you in the hood,
It's the same street.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Though it is a small problem.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
We did not see not one horse, not one cowgirl.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Ladies, clown barrel, nothing.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
No one wearing the daisy dukes. So I don't I
think it was a little misled on the advertisement of
the Rodeo Drive not the Rodeo in site. We did
go to a very expensive store called the Blueberry.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I think Norberry. What is it calledbary? I think that
is it? Yes, epsible, Yes, Bluebery.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
And you know I made can you show Kate, can
you show the doubles? I made a very attractive offer
to buy a bag.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
That is a gift.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
By the way, I'm giving a collector set of our currency, goodness,
that is our currency to mister mo Kelly. He's showing
for people listening on the radio, he's showing our currency.
We have a one, five, ten, and twenty doubles. And anyway,
I made a fine young chap at the Booberry. I
offered him two hundred dubles for the bag and he
(21:48):
told me something like it was five thousand dollars for
the bag, and then he asked us to leave the store.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yes, very confusing.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
So yes, it was off to Elsagon, to TJ Max
and we had a nice shopping experience, much more reasonable proces.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yes, how does that work when you're doing an event,
I should say, just going about your normal everyday life
where you try to go to a TJ Max, or
of course you go to just a bar or a restaurant,
and you're traveling with security which may be cumbersome as
far as just trying to get in and get out.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
How do you manage that?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Well, we should talk about lest we can. We went
to the Santa fe s what meat, and unfortunately it
caused quite the pandemoni and a stampede as well. So
you know, that's when we we depend on our security
to get this in and out very quickly. Again, man
of the people, I'm not going to write in a
popemobile with the glass.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
No.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
No, you can hug me, you can touch me, you
can give a big path on the.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Shoulder as well.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
But you have to be smart about the places you go,
you know, don't hang out too long.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
All right, When we come back and we're going to
close our conversation, I want to delve into your political objectives,
your legislative objectives, and maybe your world objectives, because I'm
curious to know how the United States government may have
or may not have responded to your requests as far
as sovereignty and how that may impact where you go next.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Can you do that? You say we're wrapping up the show. No, no, no, no no.
In the next segment it.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Was a five hour special, so no, no, no, no, we're
only on until ten o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:20):

Oh okay, I think he's listening right now. I'll be back.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Yes, es, okay, take it. My friend will be on
with Mo all night to night. They're about to at
the ladies that I've been twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
The ladies are coming. Yes, you have to offer. Remember
you have ladies coming to the studio downstairs that I
no I thing to be buzzed in. Are they scantily clad?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Is You're listening to some of the best of Later
with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
As we canntinue and conclude my conversation with his excellency,
the Sultan of Slow Jamastan and also Mark Corona, who's
the Chief Border Asian.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Sultan.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
There was a serious turn in our conversation and it
happened during our Instagram live off air. Yes, and you
were relaying a story about a real conversation you were
having in front of a Bangladesh audience.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Yes, Well, look, we have said many fun things, right,
many many jokes and satire. We talked about the Ottomadilo foutum,
and we talked about the ladies. But that is a
time to be serious. And so I tell you this
is one hundred percent sitious and we take it seriously.
Over the past ten days, we were fortunate enough to
have a break a worldwide coverage. We went I think
(24:45):
the Americans say viral. We went viral, and the story
exploded all over the not just the United States, but
the world. For example, in Turkey, maybe sixty news agencies
has covered it. Will sometimes, my friend, the satire does
not translate to different nations. Most of the places it
transferred it translated, but the beautiful country of Bangladesh. And
(25:06):
I say this because I've been there. I've been to Bangladesh.
The satire did not translate to the citizens and I
am not surely translated to the news. Because the nightly
news on television in Bangladesh reported on slow Jamastan as
a new country with the passport.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
And they covered it seriously, straightforward, and they took it
as actual news.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And the citizenry responded, how.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
In droves, And you have to understand the struggles that
most people in Bangladesh go through, right, they just want
a better life. Okay, you can hold that against anybody.
And so it is a barrage. And I mean it
when I say thousands and thousands and thousands of emails
and calls and and dms and asking.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
No exactly, it's we're being serious.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Yes, but a thousand thousand percent. And they are very
good people, ready to move to slow Jamastan and asking
how how can I work for you?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
How can I have a visa?
Speaker 5 (26:02):
They are sending resumes they want to bring their family,
and that is when you have to stop the jokes
for a quick second and have some empathy and then
understand that these are very well meaning people and they
did not understand the satire. We put a travel advisory
on the main page of the website solow jemerstand dot
org that basically breaks it down and says, look, it's
one of a virtual community. Yes, we have land, but
it's eleven acres. It is not electricity or roads, a
(26:24):
sowar system and water, et cetera. And of course we
are surrounded by the United States and you must get
a visa for the United States first. So I say
this with all seriousness and with all empathy as well.
We love people out around the world, especially the good
people of Bangladesh, and it was I don't want to
say sad, but it was heartfelt. After you tell them,
some of them disappointed.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
What does it say?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And to be very serious, you've been seen around the
world in a number of countries. Yes, you've been. Your
message has been heard around the world. You've been seen
and people have been reaching out to you. What does
that say about the power of media, the power of
social media? The power of message is the power of words,
where you can be both an inspiring and a deflating
(27:07):
person depending on how they receive your message.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
What does it say to you this moment?
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Of course, it says you have to be responsible and
you have Look. I believe in two way communication, so
I think the worst thing people can do is be ignored.
And this goes in all fasts facets of life. And
we pride ourselves on a country as an interactive. Look, if
you send a DM to the White House right now,
are they going to respond?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Now?
Speaker 5 (27:28):
We don't even like your tweet, They don't put the
heart on it. If you reach out to slowly understand.
We do our best to get back to everybody as
quickly as possible with a personal message as much as
we can. So you have to take responsibility with media.
But it is a great connector and it can bring
the world together. And I will tell you this to
go to a more positive spin. And once again something
that slowly understand is for we all know in this room,
(27:50):
we can all agree everybody listening that I feel in
my lifetime America is more devices divisive than ever before.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Than ever before. We are fighting.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
The moment we wake up and open our phone and
we look at the Facebook feed, people we know in
love are fighting at each other and blocking and not
even not even having a conversation. Slow jama Stan is
a place you go you can leave all the arguments
and all the political bickering, your party, your labels, and
leave it all behind. We have one label in slow Jemastan.
We are all slow jemastanis. We don't want any other labels.
(28:20):
It used to be back in America when I was
a kid in the nineteen eighties. I'm showing my age.
We were all Americans, even if we had differences, we
were all Americans. I think we've lost that and it
is very concerning. So perhaps Slow Jemistan can teach a
lesson to America and some of the other countries that
are also divided, and we can all leave everything behind,
even if we disagree, and for one moment be one together.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Your excellency, one more time.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
How can people get more information about slow Jamaistan, How
can they contribute? How can they also become a member
of your virtual community.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
