Speaker 1 (00:22):
Mister bo Kelly here later with mo Kelly KFI AM
six forty one live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
And you've probably been following what has been going on
at Burbank Airport being without air traffic controllers for some
number of hours. At this point, it's not sure what
it's going to happen to rectify that. There have been
a number of flights which have been delayed and canceled.
(00:46):
I know that Mark Runner Good Evening, Mark Ronner and
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom will have updates over
the course of the evening if that situation should change.
But I do remember, I do remember I was giving
some kind of momentary on Spectrum News, and I relayed
that commentary here on this show, saying that the government
(01:07):
shut down, although it may be some twenty five hundred
miles away in Washington, DC, as far as the ongoing
debate here in California, you're going to feel it now.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I even posted the video.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I said that you know, there would be various levels
of how you may feel it. I also said that
you probably see fewer TSA agents, maybe fewer air traffic controllers.
And now here we are and I got to say,
after getting back from Miami over the weekend, I'm glad
that I'm now down on the ground and not planning
(01:40):
to fly anywhere anytime soon for just these reasons. And
I was just taking this is not a scientific survey,
but I was just taking a survey of the different
comments on social media for whatever they are worth, thinking
how people are viewing this and some and I was
actually looking at the KFI account on instad specifically, so
(02:00):
you know where I'm pulling this from.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And some were saying, well.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
If they can fly planes without air traffic controllers or
burd bank, then what.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Purpose do they serve?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I don't know what to say the back, but that
was a common refrain that I saw time and time again,
not understanding the importance of air traffic controllers not only
helping flights take off in land, but just maneuver around
the airport. Have you seen how flights are coordinated just
to get on the runway for takeoff, that's all air
traffic controllers. Do you think that they just fly blindly
(02:40):
by the seat of their pants and not exactly knowing
where other air traffic is.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's what I call it.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Air traffic controllers so they have an idea what the
traffic is and nobody, and I hope nobody, wants there
to be a disaster during this government shutdown, which is
or even is not connected to the loss of air
traffic controllers or even on the smallest level.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I would never want anyone to be in danger or
lose their life because of this government shutdown or things
connected to it. But let's be clear, Fewer air traffic
controllers makes a more dangerous sky. Fewer air traffic controllers
increases the likelihood that something horrible is going to happen.
(03:28):
Just because something doesn't happen or may not have happened
as of yet, doesn't make it any less dangerous.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
And we're going to have to find out the hard way.
It seems.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
We can go back and forth about and I said
this before, about whose fault or responsibility the shutdown is.
It's neither here nor there for me. All I know
is you are going to feel it. Some of you
may have already begun to feel it. If you are
a veteran, you're going to feel it. If you are
a federal employee, you definitely are going to feel it.
(04:00):
And the rest of you can sit around and argue
on social media about whether it's the Republicans or the
Democrats fault. You're still going to feel it, and you're
missing the larger point that when the government is shut down,
it harms all of us, all of us, and you're
going to feel it. Today was the first example where
(04:21):
you may not have even been thinking about it, but
your flight was delayed or canceled, or you have to
think about scheduling your next flight. And that's just air
traffic controlders. There's gonna be other ways that you're going
to feel it. You're going to see I don't know
if you've heard about the Kentucky high schools they had
to cancel some of the games.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
How this is going to play out or how long
it's going to play out.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
The Huntington Air Show they lost all of their military
fighter shows, all the F fifteens and the screaming Eagles
at all. Yeah, the American American US Military Force, and
from my understanding, it suffered.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It suffered, and they're going to be more.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And you know, if you want to still complain about
the Democrats or complain about the Republicans, have at it.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
God bless you, you're missing.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The point because these are actual lives who are being impacted,
and in the case of air traffic controllers, actual lives
who are being put in danger. If we didn't need
air traffic controllers, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You would do better to.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Say I don't understand or know or I can't fully
appreciate the importance of air traffic controllers. The whole idea
of planes not running to each other on the tarmac,
that's air traffic controllers that they're not crashing into each
other on takeoff and landing. Because if you ever driven
down the one ten Freeway at night, you can see
(05:54):
the line of planes coming into LAX. They cross over
the one ten in the four or five freeway into land.
There are people managing that. And maybe I'm hypersensitive to
this because I had a family member who worked at
LAX for the better part of twenty twenty five years,
and I hear about the horror stories that never were publicized,
(06:15):
the things which have happened on airplanes which didn't make
it to the public that the public like you and me,
didn't hear about from KTLA or k COW or Fox
eleven There are a lot of things which go unreported
because there is an effort to make sure that not
all the bad stuff gets out. There were probably some
(06:35):
near misses today that you don't know about. There were
probably some incidents between ground control and airplanes which caused
an increase in level of danger for travelers that you
just didn't know about. Just because there wasn't a mid
air collision doesn't mean that people were not in greater
danger today. And y'all gonna learn this government shutdown is
(06:59):
going to hurt Americans, both figuratively and literally. I hope
it does not literally lead to such consequences, but I
do know, as history as a guide and what I
know about the inner workings of airports and air travel,
this is a very dangerous moment. This is not about
(07:22):
Democrats and Republicans. This is about your family members traveling.
This is about my family member's traveling. It's about your
friends traveling. And if something bad were to happen, it
won't be any different if you point the finger at
one person or one party or another.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm not both ciding this. I'm saying, get.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Your priorities in order. So also want to show tonight Tawala,
even though I was out of town, felt the need
to text me, felt the need to send this article
to me, felt the need to extol the virtues of
way Mo because there's this, let me be clear, in editorial,
(08:01):
it's not a news report in editorial singing the praises
of WAMO and its safety record. So Twala is going
to do a victory touchdown dance tonight about Waimo and
probably will receive a few other bonus checks for bringing
it to my attention.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I'm just bringing to your attention because it's precedent and
you must talk about it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And talking about a new casino coming to California, I've
got to ask, is it really a casino.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I know there's Husser Casino.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I know there's Hollywood Park casino, But is it really
a casino? If you can't play all the traditional games,
it's a casino.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And we will talk about that. And horoscope.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
What coffee are you based on relative to your zodiac sign.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't drink.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Coffee, so I don't know how helpful this will be
to me. I know, Twala, you drink coffee, you go
to seven eleven and risk your life Mark.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You get coffee just about every day, right, that's because
I'm a patriot, Mo. That's right, That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yes, And all your coffee cups have to say Merry Christmas,
all them. I know, I know we talked about this
before and doctor Sam, do you drink coffee?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No? I didn't think so. No, it hurts my stomach.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Who am I working with here?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, my goodness, where you're working with people who are
above the age of forty and not all of us
can ingest all that caffeine.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Can't do it.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I'm right now, So Walla can't eat spicy food, your candy, spoty,
you're all incontinent.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm gonna go get some coffee right now. It's not
incontinent just.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Six to one, half a dozen of the Oh sorry,
I love it this letter with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
If I aim six forty, WeLive everywhere in the Ihart
Radio app. Oh and before the show's over, we have
a major major update for you regarding the Halloween party.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
That's all I'm gonna say for now.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Mister m'kelly, he owns a so this is autonomous vehicles
might be on the ball.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Not the Dumola.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Comes on cleanser tone under control. This says m kelly
is wrong with LO thinks he's on the payroll. WAO
mis WAMO be you open, WAMO bead.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Over Yah Hi, mister Kelly. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And just remind you we have a major,
major mo' kelly Halloween Soire party update sometime before the
(11:24):
end of the show. You probably won't want to miss it.
Just let you know, got a major update. Also, this
article that Twalla sent me over the weekend. I was
trying to mind my business in Miami, but now we
had to interrupt my weekend with this column regarding WAMO
and its safety record. So let's get into this and
then parse the data. Waimo has released its new safety
(11:46):
statistics and it's boasting that its fleet of vehicles have
covered more than ninety six million miles and this was
as of June. Now, from what it seems, the companies
claiming this is Weymo that it's driverless vehicles are ninety
one percent less likely to be involved in crashes resulting
in serious injury compared to an average human driver of
(12:08):
the same distance. Tuala has made this point in various
forms along the way, so that's not unexpected to get
more granular. Between mid February and mid August of this year.
Contrary to that point, Weimo vehicles were involved though in
a total of forty five crashes that were reported to
(12:28):
the government. But under deeper analysis of those forty five crashes,
twenty four crashes the Weimo was not moving at all,
and another seven the Weimo was rear ended by another vehicle. Now,
I can't speculate as to when the Weimos were not
moving at all, whether they were at fault. You know,
(12:50):
you can be not moving and at fault. But I'll
just say that none of them we are. I'll I'll
just could see that. I'll just say that's the case.
But to t Wallas point and credit, the accidents were
not the fault of Weimo's self driving tech. According to
the data released by Weimo. Here's the thing, I think
(13:12):
we should make a distinction. Although Weimo may boast it
an exemplary safety record, there is still the underlying discussion
about the technology. Self driving technology as is being rolled
out by a number of companies Weimo in comparison to
(13:32):
the Tesla Robotaxi, you can see a stark difference there.
The Robotaxi by Tesla has already been involved in a
considerable number of crashes where it was at fault. Yes,
General Motors Cruise was also before it was run out
of business, involved in a number of crashes, including the
(13:54):
time it dragged a woman underneath it for twenty feet.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yes, that was blamed and there was not Weimo that
did that.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But in the same article that you sent me to Wala,
Yes you sent me, it says there are reasons to
be skeptical of Weaimo's safety statistics. One, and I'm reading
directly from the article. Its vehicles are carefully maintained and
far newer than the average car on public roads. So,
in other words, if we take that to be true,
the longer they're on the road, we may see some
(14:24):
deterioration of the vehicles and also their safety record. That's
the speculation that remains to be seen. But going back
to the article. There have been also countless other instances
of its fleet acting erratically, from failing to follow a
construction worker's hand signal to smashing into delivery robots. I
myself have seen arrant behavior by Weimo, So not everything
(14:46):
dangerous ends in a collision or an accident.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm saying, I just from what I've seen.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So I will concede the data which has been given
that Weimo is at least superior to its competitive and
has a good safety record. I refuse to concede. I
refuse to concede that Weaimo is the way to go.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
You don't have to concede Way Moo being the way
to go. You don't have to.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Unfortunately, as the days tick on, and as you keep
on ticking, way Moo will become a way of life,
as will robots rolling around the streets, as will Tesla
and Hondai and everyone else who's rolling out self driving
(15:40):
autonomous taxis and all of that. The short distance flying cars,
those are also coming. You think they're not, but they've
been doing several tests here in Santa Monica and around
the area to get those up and running quickly. It's
about to be a.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
New day before for you know it, Mo, Yeah, but
there's also something we should still make the distinction that
Weimo is not on the freeway. Yet, it's a whole
different ballgame on the freeway. It's one thing when you're
playing basketball, as they say, Park and rec. It's another
thing when you play it against pros and the idiots
who are on the highway, like the one ten, the
(16:19):
four h five to seven, ten to six oh five,
the ninety one to fifty five to fifty seven to
one thirty four, the one seventy, the eighteen to fourteen,
all of them. It's going to be a brand new
ballgame for Waimo if they even get into that game.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
MO.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I don't like riding on the freeway, thank you. I
hate the freeway.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
What happens when a Waimo encounters a Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Look, look, there's nobody to flip off. Well, yes, that
is true.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And the thing about it is Mark has attested too
many a white knuckle drives on the freeway. He also
hates the freeway. None of us like the freeways because
of the idiots on it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Why do they have to bring knuckle race into it? Eight?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
I got a question tawala, Are you prepared for this
or are you fully.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I am not fully ensconced in my defense?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Okay, all right, all right, So I'm not going to
declare you a hostile witness yet. But we know now
more and more that the more people use AI, the
more their brain literally atrophies and rots. They lose their
thinking skills. Don't you think that also transfers to driving.
Don't we want people to maintain actual driving skills?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Mark, you think there's going to be people driving as
you get older into your elderly years, and there won't be.
There will not be people driving. Self driving technology is
going to be rolled out in the everyday car, not
just in the way mod get used to it.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Follow up question turning around, My follow up is does
Waimo pay in superhero action figures or just cash?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You blank and blank blank? Now go ahead and call
him an ace hola, it's your turn. No, no, no,
don't you dare.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Look, look you keep that filthy, disrespectful language to yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I need answers. Journal.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It's smirching this conversation with your lies.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Lies.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
We were literally going in a good direction and here
you come with the negative.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Now, come on, to.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Well, it's not like Marcus saying that he doesn't know
Gilaine Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Okay, it's not like that. Okay, don't drag me into that.
Do you have to? You can always says time to
go to break? Oh yeah, look at the time. Oh god.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Later with mo' kelly, we'll talk about gambling and a casino,
a major casino coming to California maybe possibly. I mean,
is it a casino or is it like where you
played the pig out Poker? Never mind? Yeah, I've played
it before. Okay, I have, but it's like or you have,
like they have this game. It's not like blackjack, but
(18:53):
you can get like twenty two, twenty three, twenty five.
I'm the only one who's played that at like hus
a casino.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That doesn't exist. I know, I'm being serious. I haven't
gone gambling at a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I can't remember. I can't remember what it's called. But
it's not like blackjack. It might be called like blue
jack or something. I don't know what it's called, but
you know it was considered skill. I'll look it up
during the break.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Wait. Is the Hustler casino casino connected with Larry Flint? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, Oh we got to go there. You didn't. What
do we need to do a family field trip? Yes?
We do, Yes, what's happening? How can you not know?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
I know you're not from California back. How can you
not know about Hustler Casino? I have no explanation. Now
I want to go. No, it's a hole in the wall.
Still it is murder bound. Yes, like in the parking lot.
It is Oh, oh you came up tonight I will
be robbing.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The wait for you.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Sup a dour? You're not deterring me. Let's take this
up later. I'm not letting this go.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
KFI Later with Mo Kelly major, major Halloween party update
before the show's over.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Kelly six.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Live on YouTube in the iHeartRadio app. Let's talk a
little bit of gambling. Last segment, you heard from Mark
Roner saying we need to have like a field trip
the boys night out going to Hustler Casino. And I
was making the point that if you go to one
of these local casinos like Hustler Hollywood Park.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
They're restricted as far as the types of games that
can offer because gambling is quote unquote illegal in California,
sports betting is quote unquote illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
There are a lot of loopholes.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
That's why I say quote unquote, So if you go
to one of these casinos, you by and large don't
have the traditional gambling type offerings. I think I don't
remember all the laws, but in California you can't offer
like traditional slot machines, you can't offer traditional bok jack
or roulette, what have you. But there are loopholes to
(21:04):
all of this, and when it comes to gambling, what
has been traditionally called Indian gaming, traditionally called Indian gaming,
is one of those loopholes. Hard Rock Casino to Home,
a partnership between Tohone Indian Tribe and Hard Rock International,
announced it will officially open this casino on November thirteenth,
(21:26):
and when it opens, hard Rock Casino to Home will
be among California's largest gaming destinations, featuring one hundred and
fifty thousand feet feet of gaming space, roughly the same
size as the MGM Grand Volagio Mandalay Bay and about
twenty thousand square feet larger than Caesar's Palace. Where's it
(21:48):
going to be. It's going to be in Metler, which
is about fifteen miles south of Bakersfield, and it's at
the base of the Great Vine along I five.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
In other words, a hell of a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Closer than anything in Loss of Vegas or at State Line.
So it's a lot closer to just about anyone listening
right now. And when you open the doors, they're saying
that guests will be able to find. As I was
saying earlier talking about the difference between traditional casinos in
California and Indian gaming, two thousand slot machines, fifty live
(22:19):
table games, including blackjack, as you and I know it,
and before the break, I was talking about this weird
blackjack that you could play at these other casinos and
had to look it up, and it's called California Blackjack,
called La Blackjack meant just for us to circumvent all
the laws.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That's crazy. It would be better than twenty one twenty two.
And that's the basis of the game.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
California Blackjacks played with the standard deck of cards four
jokers for a total of fifty six cards. The objects
of the game is to have the cards whose face
value is closer to twenty two than the face value
of the desig native player bankers. In other words, the
dealers ultimate cards. If the face value of a player's
cards is closer to twenty two than a designated player
(23:05):
banker's total, he she wins, you cannot bust In California.
Blackjack's possible to win with twenty three or more if
the face value of both hands are equal distance to
twenty two, but one is under one is over twenty two,
the other hand wins. I know it's very complicated, YadA YadA, YadA,
blah blah blah blah. That is legal in California, but
(23:27):
the traditional blackjack that you and I know have played,
may think of is not.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Aha aha, but.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That doesn't apply to Indian gaming because that's not California.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
It is a what's the word I'm looking for?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
A sovereign sovereign is a sovereign nation unto itself.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
So do they have blackjack at like Pachanga and places
like that currently?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
As far as I know, I want to say yes, Okay,
as far as I know, and someone will probably hit
me up on social media and correct me, but it's
definitely coming to hard rock casino to home.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I like that they're using.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
The hard rock name, so that gives it like a
lot of familiarity off the top.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yes, yes, this brand recognition. Who has not been or
who is not aware.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Of a hard rock cafe? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, I mean I know in California we know the
names Marongo, we know the names, but Changa, we know
these names. Yeah we know, but blah blah. Yeah, you know,
everyone knows hard rock. And I think with this here,
I wonder does this make way for even more?
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It has to and to something that Mark Ronner said
some weeks ago talking about the struggles of Las Vegas
and tourism. If you have a viable option, and honestly,
the California gaming places are not valuable in the LA area,
They're just not. I live right next to Hollywood Park Casino.
Trust me, it's it's not a casino. It's a place
(24:54):
with a bunch of card tables and in a bar.
It's not been there many to been to Hustle casino. Mark,
You're not missing out on anything.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Come on, but.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I'm willing to take you just one time so you
can say, well, you're right, let's go.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
It sounds fun. Anything to pay tribute to Larry Flint.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Mark, I'm going to tell you a story off air
about an incident that I know for.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
A fact that took place. Didn't he come to the studio.
Wasn't he interviewed at the Beat. Yes, that's what I thought.
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, Mart, we got stories for days, Mark, we have
stories days.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I saw Larry Flint at Craigs and I wanted to
send him a drink. And I realized he probably has
a thousand times what I have in the bank, and
this would be pointless.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I have met him twice, had met him twice.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Rip. It was at Jerry's Deli in Burbeck. He was
a frequent or my mind frequent visit. I was there
all the time, so I knew anyone who came in,
and I was like norms and they walk in and say, oh,
everybody knew my name. But my point is you would
see quote unquote celebrities just about every weekend at Jerry's
(26:10):
Deli in Studio City.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Your First Amendment champions come in all shapes and forums.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Mo Oh, look it was the same night.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I swear to goodness it was the same night. It
was Ron Jeremy and Larry Flint and Jerry's. I'm not kidding,
That's what I'm saying. And Sam, you probably know this.
Jerry's Deli was a huge porn hangout. Oh huge porn hangout.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Oh yeah, I mean I've I've been at several places
where Ron Jeremy just randomly shows up.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
And this was, you know, back in the day when
he could show up at places. Right, He's not showing
up anywhere. No, not anymore. I don't know, just the
yard boy?
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I didn't convict him.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Can't we have a conversation about Ron Jereedy me and
not talk about his Johnson?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Is it possible? What I didn't mention it?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I thought when you said your can if I am
six forty.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Hey wait a minute, how dare you sure.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Mark?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That was not your intention. It's not your intention. We misunderstood,
we took you out of contact. Won have you put
words or anything else in my mouth? Mom? There you
go again?
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Hey, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from kf I Am six forty when.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Kelly on and six live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I have to just change gears here for a second
because we were over last segment.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's gonna be real short segment.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I just want to say this got to pitch this
morning from a publicist very well liked and respected.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But I have no problem with this person pitching.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But they pitched us two R and B singers, Monica
and Brandy. And if you were familiar with R and
B music, you know those artists. Okay, Brandy had the
TV show Moesha, Monica well known R and B singer.
They did a song together called The Boy Is Mine
and it was pretty controversial at the time because people
thought that they were really actually fighting over a dude,
(28:26):
so much so that it did create a tension between
those two as artists. Long story short, they're on tour.
From what I read, ticket sales are a little bit sluggish.
They were pitched to us, And if you know anything
about me, I am the most petty person on the
(28:47):
face of the area. I don't know if there's anyone
who exceeds my pettiness. Going back to nineteen ninety five,
I was working for the Grammys and we were in
New York at Radio City Music Hall, and this is
when I can't remember the year.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But it's the year if you look it up. When C. C.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Winings and Whitney Houston were performing a duet together, and
I think maybe even Brandy as well, whoever was on
the stage.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
This was a rehearsal.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Whitney Houston came in drunk, high, hung over and drunk, okay,
and she wore sunglasses. I even have some pictures of
it somewhere, and that's very important because when she came in,
we were told no pictures.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
No one is supposed to approach miss Houston.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Yah yah, yeah, blah blah blah. I SAIDs that Whitney
freaking Houston. I'm gonna get me a picture of or
with Whitney Houston. So I had my camera on, I
was ready, okay. I didn't even use the flash. I
didn't think any was around me. I took a picture
of Whitney Houston and CC Winings as they were doing
their rehearsal on stage. Brandy Norwood's mother ran to tell
(29:50):
the grammy folks that they needed to fire me for
taking that picture.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I vowed it.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
This is thirty years ago, thirty years ago, thirty years ago.
I said, I will never ever do anything to help
her or her family ever again.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And mind you, I knew Brandy's father and Ray J.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Brandy's father is a brother in the same fratorney as
me and Mega Sci Fi fraternity. I met Brandy's father,
Willie Norwood, long before I met Brandy or Sonia the mother. Okay,
long story short. When I said, I never thirty years later,
they're pitched to me. I told Tola, I said, Brandy
will never ever be a part of anything I do
(30:37):
in my life. And today I had the pleasure of
saying to the publicist fting kids package.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Deal with Brandy and Liam Neeson to Wallow, that's up
to you. You have your own Norwood story.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Look, I have never had a good interaction with miss
Norwood ever, ever, ever, ever, never, I have gone above
and beyond. I think I have a picture of me
uh and my former assistant program director. So I was
the musical director. He was assistant program director, Dorsey full
of the Third. We were sitting at a restaurant trying
(31:15):
to convince Brandy to do a show for us after
she had fallen out with by station because of her mother.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Look if when I was writing for my column for
euur Web, I never missed an opportunity to talk mess
about Brandy. She knows who I am. She cannot stand me,
I'm sure, and the feeling is mutual. She will never
ever be a part of anything that I ever do,
and her mama to And I don't care who buddy
who knows run Tail that right.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
This This business is replete with.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Crutches, Matetas you talk about cancel culture, she is canceled
from anything I will ever. I don't care if she
wins an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, a Razzie Award,
the Best Breath award. She is never ever going to
be a part of anything I do, Brandy, nor would.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
The best Breath. I said that.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Because the rumor was because she had stink breath. That's
the only reason I said that.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Damn, you got that close to her. We have been
that close to her. Yeah. As a matter of fact, there's.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
A story that we're going to talk about later tonight
talking about Lionel Ritchie and MJ's lack supposed lack of hygiene.
And I say that to say, in this business, you
get close enough to people to experience them as humans.
You get to see how they are. Maybe they may
(32:45):
be you know, god awful famous, but there's still people,
and sometimes when they're so famous, they become disconnected with
the normal little things that you and I would be
concerned about, you know, taking a shower, putting on deodorant,
brushing her teeth. I told the stories about Nny Kravits
all the time. Lenny Kravits was not special in that regard.
He's part of a lot of artists who didn't watch
(33:08):
the ass as they say, just stink.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
So when I tell the story later on about what
Lion or Richie had to say about Michael Jackson, I
one hundred percent believe him.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Love Lenny Kravitz, but he does smell like hot elephant.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Thank you, thank you. He's not. It's nothing. I don't
care how many women fall out about him in his abs.
He's stank.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
He came to the station and you could smell him
down the hallway. Just were probably leather, sweat and leather,
no shirt, funking cologne.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I was like, the cologne does not cover up ass?
Whose elephant asses up in here?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Be on the box score when we come back and
I met what I said, I said what I said, Brandy,
I know someone's listening probably probably want to run, Tell her, run,
tell that Sonya too.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's my house, eyo vivo key, hey if I am
sixported with live everyone now.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
I heard radio at k s I and k os
t h D two, Los Angeles, Orange County, more stimulating
talk
Mister bo Kelly here later with mo Kelly KFI AM
six forty one live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
And you've probably been following what has been going on
at Burbank Airport being without air traffic controllers for some
number of hours. At this point, it's not sure what
it's going to happen to rectify that. There have been
a number of flights which have been delayed and canceled.
(00:46):
I know that Mark Runner Good Evening, Mark Ronner and
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom will have updates over
the course of the evening if that situation should change.
But I do remember, I do remember I was giving
some kind of momentary on Spectrum News, and I relayed
that commentary here on this show, saying that the government
(01:07):
shut down, although it may be some twenty five hundred
miles away in Washington, DC, as far as the ongoing
debate here in California, you're going to feel it now.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I even posted the video.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I said that you know, there would be various levels
of how you may feel it. I also said that
you probably see fewer TSA agents, maybe fewer air traffic controllers.
And now here we are and I got to say,
after getting back from Miami over the weekend, I'm glad
that I'm now down on the ground and not planning
(01:40):
to fly anywhere anytime soon for just these reasons. And
I was just taking this is not a scientific survey,
but I was just taking a survey of the different
comments on social media for whatever they are worth, thinking
how people are viewing this and some and I was
actually looking at the KFI account on instad specifically, so
(02:00):
you know where I'm pulling this from.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And some were saying, well.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
If they can fly planes without air traffic controllers or
burd bank, then what.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Purpose do they serve?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I don't know what to say the back, but that
was a common refrain that I saw time and time again,
not understanding the importance of air traffic controllers not only
helping flights take off in land, but just maneuver around
the airport. Have you seen how flights are coordinated just
to get on the runway for takeoff, that's all air
traffic controllers. Do you think that they just fly blindly
(02:40):
by the seat of their pants and not exactly knowing
where other air traffic is.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's what I call it.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Air traffic controllers so they have an idea what the
traffic is and nobody, and I hope nobody, wants there
to be a disaster during this government shutdown, which is
or even is not connected to the loss of air
traffic controllers or even on the smallest level.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I would never want anyone to be in danger or
lose their life because of this government shutdown or things
connected to it. But let's be clear, Fewer air traffic
controllers makes a more dangerous sky. Fewer air traffic controllers
increases the likelihood that something horrible is going to happen.
(03:28):
Just because something doesn't happen or may not have happened
as of yet, doesn't make it any less dangerous.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
And we're going to have to find out the hard way.
It seems.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
We can go back and forth about and I said
this before, about whose fault or responsibility the shutdown is.
It's neither here nor there for me. All I know
is you are going to feel it. Some of you
may have already begun to feel it. If you are
a veteran, you're going to feel it. If you are
a federal employee, you definitely are going to feel it.
(04:00):
And the rest of you can sit around and argue
on social media about whether it's the Republicans or the
Democrats fault. You're still going to feel it, and you're
missing the larger point that when the government is shut down,
it harms all of us, all of us, and you're
going to feel it. Today was the first example where
(04:21):
you may not have even been thinking about it, but
your flight was delayed or canceled, or you have to
think about scheduling your next flight. And that's just air
traffic controlders. There's gonna be other ways that you're going
to feel it. You're going to see I don't know
if you've heard about the Kentucky high schools they had
to cancel some of the games.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
How this is going to play out or how long
it's going to play out.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
The Huntington Air Show they lost all of their military
fighter shows, all the F fifteens and the screaming Eagles
at all. Yeah, the American American US Military Force, and
from my understanding, it suffered.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It suffered, and they're going to be more.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And you know, if you want to still complain about
the Democrats or complain about the Republicans, have at it.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
God bless you, you're missing.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The point because these are actual lives who are being impacted,
and in the case of air traffic controllers, actual lives
who are being put in danger. If we didn't need
air traffic controllers, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You would do better to.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Say I don't understand or know or I can't fully
appreciate the importance of air traffic controllers. The whole idea
of planes not running to each other on the tarmac,
that's air traffic controllers that they're not crashing into each
other on takeoff and landing. Because if you ever driven
down the one ten Freeway at night, you can see
(05:54):
the line of planes coming into LAX. They cross over
the one ten in the four or five freeway into land.
There are people managing that. And maybe I'm hypersensitive to
this because I had a family member who worked at
LAX for the better part of twenty twenty five years,
and I hear about the horror stories that never were publicized,
(06:15):
the things which have happened on airplanes which didn't make
it to the public that the public like you and me,
didn't hear about from KTLA or k COW or Fox
eleven There are a lot of things which go unreported
because there is an effort to make sure that not
all the bad stuff gets out. There were probably some
(06:35):
near misses today that you don't know about. There were
probably some incidents between ground control and airplanes which caused
an increase in level of danger for travelers that you
just didn't know about. Just because there wasn't a mid
air collision doesn't mean that people were not in greater
danger today. And y'all gonna learn this government shutdown is
(06:59):
going to hurt Americans, both figuratively and literally. I hope
it does not literally lead to such consequences, but I
do know, as history as a guide and what I
know about the inner workings of airports and air travel,
this is a very dangerous moment. This is not about
(07:22):
Democrats and Republicans. This is about your family members traveling.
This is about my family member's traveling. It's about your
friends traveling. And if something bad were to happen, it
won't be any different if you point the finger at
one person or one party or another.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm not both ciding this. I'm saying, get.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Your priorities in order. So also want to show tonight Tawala,
even though I was out of town, felt the need
to text me, felt the need to send this article
to me, felt the need to extol the virtues of
way Mo because there's this, let me be clear, in editorial,
(08:01):
it's not a news report in editorial singing the praises
of WAMO and its safety record. So Twala is going
to do a victory touchdown dance tonight about Waimo and
probably will receive a few other bonus checks for bringing
it to my attention.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I'm just bringing to your attention because it's precedent and
you must talk about it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And talking about a new casino coming to California, I've
got to ask, is it really a casino.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I know there's Husser Casino.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I know there's Hollywood Park casino, But is it really
a casino? If you can't play all the traditional games,
it's a casino.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And we will talk about that. And horoscope.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
What coffee are you based on relative to your zodiac sign.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't drink.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Coffee, so I don't know how helpful this will be
to me. I know, Twala, you drink coffee, you go
to seven eleven and risk your life Mark.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You get coffee just about every day, right, that's because
I'm a patriot, Mo. That's right, That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yes, And all your coffee cups have to say Merry Christmas,
all them. I know, I know we talked about this
before and doctor Sam, do you drink coffee?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No? I didn't think so. No, it hurts my stomach.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Who am I working with here?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, my goodness, where you're working with people who are
above the age of forty and not all of us
can ingest all that caffeine.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Can't do it.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I'm right now, So Walla can't eat spicy food, your candy, spoty,
you're all incontinent.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm gonna go get some coffee right now. It's not
incontinent just.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Because something may bother your You're you're large and testine.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It could be Crohn's disease. It's different.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Six to one, half a dozen of the Oh sorry,
I love it this letter with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
If I aim six forty, WeLive everywhere in the Ihart
Radio app. Oh and before the show's over, we have
a major major update for you regarding the Halloween party.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
That's all I'm gonna say for now.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Mister m'kelly, he owns a so this is autonomous vehicles
might be on the ball.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Not the Dumola.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Comes on cleanser tone under control. This says m kelly
is wrong with LO thinks he's on the payroll. WAO
mis WAMO be you open, WAMO bead.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Over Yah Hi, mister Kelly. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And just remind you we have a major,
major mo' kelly Halloween Soire party update sometime before the
(11:24):
end of the show. You probably won't want to miss it.
Just let you know, got a major update. Also, this
article that Twalla sent me over the weekend. I was
trying to mind my business in Miami, but now we
had to interrupt my weekend with this column regarding WAMO
and its safety record. So let's get into this and
then parse the data. Waimo has released its new safety
(11:46):
statistics and it's boasting that its fleet of vehicles have
covered more than ninety six million miles and this was
as of June. Now, from what it seems, the companies
claiming this is Weymo that it's driverless vehicles are ninety
one percent less likely to be involved in crashes resulting
in serious injury compared to an average human driver of
(12:08):
the same distance. Tuala has made this point in various
forms along the way, so that's not unexpected to get
more granular. Between mid February and mid August of this year.
Contrary to that point, Weimo vehicles were involved though in
a total of forty five crashes that were reported to
(12:28):
the government. But under deeper analysis of those forty five crashes,
twenty four crashes the Weimo was not moving at all,
and another seven the Weimo was rear ended by another vehicle. Now,
I can't speculate as to when the Weimos were not
moving at all, whether they were at fault. You know,
(12:50):
you can be not moving and at fault. But I'll
just say that none of them we are. I'll I'll
just could see that. I'll just say that's the case.
But to t Wallas point and credit, the accidents were
not the fault of Weimo's self driving tech. According to
the data released by Weimo. Here's the thing, I think
(13:12):
we should make a distinction. Although Weimo may boast it
an exemplary safety record, there is still the underlying discussion
about the technology. Self driving technology as is being rolled
out by a number of companies Weimo in comparison to
(13:32):
the Tesla Robotaxi, you can see a stark difference there.
The Robotaxi by Tesla has already been involved in a
considerable number of crashes where it was at fault. Yes,
General Motors Cruise was also before it was run out
of business, involved in a number of crashes, including the
(13:54):
time it dragged a woman underneath it for twenty feet.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yes, that was blamed and there was not Weimo that
did that.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But in the same article that you sent me to Wala,
Yes you sent me, it says there are reasons to
be skeptical of Weaimo's safety statistics. One, and I'm reading
directly from the article. Its vehicles are carefully maintained and
far newer than the average car on public roads. So,
in other words, if we take that to be true,
the longer they're on the road, we may see some
(14:24):
deterioration of the vehicles and also their safety record. That's
the speculation that remains to be seen. But going back
to the article. There have been also countless other instances
of its fleet acting erratically, from failing to follow a
construction worker's hand signal to smashing into delivery robots. I
myself have seen arrant behavior by Weimo, So not everything
(14:46):
dangerous ends in a collision or an accident.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm saying, I just from what I've seen.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So I will concede the data which has been given
that Weimo is at least superior to its competitive and
has a good safety record. I refuse to concede. I
refuse to concede that Weaimo is the way to go.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
You don't have to concede Way Moo being the way
to go. You don't have to.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Unfortunately, as the days tick on, and as you keep
on ticking, way Moo will become a way of life,
as will robots rolling around the streets, as will Tesla
and Hondai and everyone else who's rolling out self driving
(15:40):
autonomous taxis and all of that. The short distance flying cars,
those are also coming. You think they're not, but they've
been doing several tests here in Santa Monica and around
the area to get those up and running quickly. It's
about to be a.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
New day before for you know it, Mo, Yeah, but
there's also something we should still make the distinction that
Weimo is not on the freeway. Yet, it's a whole
different ballgame on the freeway. It's one thing when you're
playing basketball, as they say, Park and rec. It's another
thing when you play it against pros and the idiots
who are on the highway, like the one ten, the
(16:19):
four h five to seven, ten to six oh five,
the ninety one to fifty five to fifty seven to
one thirty four, the one seventy, the eighteen to fourteen,
all of them. It's going to be a brand new
ballgame for Waimo if they even get into that game.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
MO.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I don't like riding on the freeway, thank you. I
hate the freeway.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
What happens when a Waimo encounters a Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Look, look, there's nobody to flip off. Well, yes, that
is true.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And the thing about it is Mark has attested too
many a white knuckle drives on the freeway. He also
hates the freeway. None of us like the freeways because
of the idiots on it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Why do they have to bring knuckle race into it? Eight?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
I got a question tawala, Are you prepared for this
or are you fully.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I am not fully ensconced in my defense?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Okay, all right, all right, So I'm not going to
declare you a hostile witness yet. But we know now
more and more that the more people use AI, the
more their brain literally atrophies and rots. They lose their
thinking skills. Don't you think that also transfers to driving.
Don't we want people to maintain actual driving skills?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Mark, you think there's going to be people driving as
you get older into your elderly years, and there won't be.
There will not be people driving. Self driving technology is
going to be rolled out in the everyday car, not
just in the way mod get used to it.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Follow up question turning around, My follow up is does
Waimo pay in superhero action figures or just cash?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You blank and blank blank? Now go ahead and call
him an ace hola, it's your turn. No, no, no,
don't you dare.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Look, look you keep that filthy, disrespectful language to yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I need answers. Journal.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It's smirching this conversation with your lies.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Lies.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
We were literally going in a good direction and here
you come with the negative.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Now, come on, to.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Well, it's not like Marcus saying that he doesn't know
Gilaine Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Okay, it's not like that. Okay, don't drag me into that.
Do you have to? You can always says time to
go to break? Oh yeah, look at the time. Oh god.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Later with mo' kelly, we'll talk about gambling and a casino,
a major casino coming to California maybe possibly. I mean,
is it a casino or is it like where you
played the pig out Poker? Never mind? Yeah, I've played
it before. Okay, I have, but it's like or you have,
like they have this game. It's not like blackjack, but
(18:53):
you can get like twenty two, twenty three, twenty five.
I'm the only one who's played that at like hus
a casino.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That doesn't exist. I know, I'm being serious. I haven't
gone gambling at a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I can't remember. I can't remember what it's called. But
it's not like blackjack. It might be called like blue
jack or something. I don't know what it's called, but
you know it was considered skill. I'll look it up
during the break.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Wait. Is the Hustler casino casino connected with Larry Flint? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, Oh we got to go there. You didn't. What
do we need to do a family field trip? Yes?
We do, Yes, what's happening? How can you not know?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
I know you're not from California back. How can you
not know about Hustler Casino? I have no explanation. Now
I want to go. No, it's a hole in the wall.
Still it is murder bound. Yes, like in the parking lot.
It is Oh, oh you came up tonight I will
be robbing.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The wait for you.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Sup a dour? You're not deterring me. Let's take this
up later. I'm not letting this go.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
KFI Later with Mo Kelly major, major Halloween party update
before the show's over.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Kelly six.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Live on YouTube in the iHeartRadio app. Let's talk a
little bit of gambling. Last segment, you heard from Mark
Roner saying we need to have like a field trip
the boys night out going to Hustler Casino. And I
was making the point that if you go to one
of these local casinos like Hustler Hollywood Park.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
They're restricted as far as the types of games that
can offer because gambling is quote unquote illegal in California,
sports betting is quote unquote illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
There are a lot of loopholes.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
That's why I say quote unquote, So if you go
to one of these casinos, you by and large don't
have the traditional gambling type offerings. I think I don't
remember all the laws, but in California you can't offer
like traditional slot machines, you can't offer traditional bok jack
or roulette, what have you. But there are loopholes to
(21:04):
all of this, and when it comes to gambling, what
has been traditionally called Indian gaming, traditionally called Indian gaming,
is one of those loopholes. Hard Rock Casino to Home,
a partnership between Tohone Indian Tribe and Hard Rock International,
announced it will officially open this casino on November thirteenth,
(21:26):
and when it opens, hard Rock Casino to Home will
be among California's largest gaming destinations, featuring one hundred and
fifty thousand feet feet of gaming space, roughly the same
size as the MGM Grand Volagio Mandalay Bay and about
twenty thousand square feet larger than Caesar's Palace. Where's it
(21:48):
going to be. It's going to be in Metler, which
is about fifteen miles south of Bakersfield, and it's at
the base of the Great Vine along I five.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
In other words, a hell of a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Closer than anything in Loss of Vegas or at State Line.
So it's a lot closer to just about anyone listening
right now. And when you open the doors, they're saying
that guests will be able to find. As I was
saying earlier talking about the difference between traditional casinos in
California and Indian gaming, two thousand slot machines, fifty live
(22:19):
table games, including blackjack, as you and I know it,
and before the break, I was talking about this weird
blackjack that you could play at these other casinos and
had to look it up, and it's called California Blackjack,
called La Blackjack meant just for us to circumvent all
the laws.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That's crazy. It would be better than twenty one twenty two.
And that's the basis of the game.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
California Blackjacks played with the standard deck of cards four
jokers for a total of fifty six cards. The objects
of the game is to have the cards whose face
value is closer to twenty two than the face value
of the desig native player bankers. In other words, the
dealers ultimate cards. If the face value of a player's
cards is closer to twenty two than a designated player
(23:05):
banker's total, he she wins, you cannot bust In California.
Blackjack's possible to win with twenty three or more if
the face value of both hands are equal distance to
twenty two, but one is under one is over twenty two,
the other hand wins. I know it's very complicated, YadA YadA, YadA,
blah blah blah blah. That is legal in California, but
(23:27):
the traditional blackjack that you and I know have played,
may think of is not.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Aha aha, but.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That doesn't apply to Indian gaming because that's not California.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
It is a what's the word I'm looking for?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
A sovereign sovereign is a sovereign nation unto itself.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
So do they have blackjack at like Pachanga and places
like that currently?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
As far as I know, I want to say yes, Okay,
as far as I know, and someone will probably hit
me up on social media and correct me, but it's
definitely coming to hard rock casino to home.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I like that they're using.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
The hard rock name, so that gives it like a
lot of familiarity off the top.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yes, yes, this brand recognition. Who has not been or
who is not aware.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Of a hard rock cafe? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, I mean I know in California we know the
names Marongo, we know the names, but Changa, we know
these names. Yeah we know, but blah blah. Yeah, you know,
everyone knows hard rock. And I think with this here,
I wonder does this make way for even more?
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It has to and to something that Mark Ronner said
some weeks ago talking about the struggles of Las Vegas
and tourism. If you have a viable option, and honestly,
the California gaming places are not valuable in the LA area,
They're just not. I live right next to Hollywood Park Casino.
Trust me, it's it's not a casino. It's a place
(24:54):
with a bunch of card tables and in a bar.
It's not been there many to been to Hustle casino. Mark,
You're not missing out on anything.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Come on, but.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I'm willing to take you just one time so you
can say, well, you're right, let's go.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
It sounds fun. Anything to pay tribute to Larry Flint.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Mark, I'm going to tell you a story off air
about an incident that I know for.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
A fact that took place. Didn't he come to the studio.
Wasn't he interviewed at the Beat. Yes, that's what I thought.
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, Mart, we got stories for days, Mark, we have
stories days.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I saw Larry Flint at Craigs and I wanted to
send him a drink. And I realized he probably has
a thousand times what I have in the bank, and
this would be pointless.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I have met him twice, had met him twice.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Rip. It was at Jerry's Deli in Burbeck. He was
a frequent or my mind frequent visit. I was there
all the time, so I knew anyone who came in,
and I was like norms and they walk in and say, oh,
everybody knew my name. But my point is you would
see quote unquote celebrities just about every weekend at Jerry's
(26:10):
Deli in Studio City.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Your First Amendment champions come in all shapes and forums.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Mo Oh, look it was the same night.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I swear to goodness it was the same night. It
was Ron Jeremy and Larry Flint and Jerry's. I'm not kidding,
That's what I'm saying. And Sam, you probably know this.
Jerry's Deli was a huge porn hangout. Oh huge porn hangout.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Oh yeah, I mean I've I've been at several places
where Ron Jeremy just randomly shows up.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
And this was, you know, back in the day when
he could show up at places. Right, He's not showing
up anywhere. No, not anymore. I don't know, just the
yard boy?
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I didn't convict him.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Can't we have a conversation about Ron Jereedy me and
not talk about his Johnson?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Is it possible? What I didn't mention it?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I thought when you said your can if I am
six forty.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Hey wait a minute, how dare you sure.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Mark?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That was not your intention. It's not your intention. We misunderstood,
we took you out of contact. Won have you put
words or anything else in my mouth? Mom? There you
go again?
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Hey, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from kf I Am six forty when.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Kelly on and six live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I have to just change gears here for a second
because we were over last segment.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's gonna be real short segment.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I just want to say this got to pitch this
morning from a publicist very well liked and respected.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But I have no problem with this person pitching.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But they pitched us two R and B singers, Monica
and Brandy. And if you were familiar with R and
B music, you know those artists. Okay, Brandy had the
TV show Moesha, Monica well known R and B singer.
They did a song together called The Boy Is Mine
and it was pretty controversial at the time because people
thought that they were really actually fighting over a dude,
(28:26):
so much so that it did create a tension between
those two as artists. Long story short, they're on tour.
From what I read, ticket sales are a little bit sluggish.
They were pitched to us, And if you know anything
about me, I am the most petty person on the
(28:47):
face of the area. I don't know if there's anyone
who exceeds my pettiness. Going back to nineteen ninety five,
I was working for the Grammys and we were in
New York at Radio City Music Hall, and this is
when I can't remember the year.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But it's the year if you look it up. When C. C.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Winings and Whitney Houston were performing a duet together, and
I think maybe even Brandy as well, whoever was on
the stage.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
This was a rehearsal.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Whitney Houston came in drunk, high, hung over and drunk, okay,
and she wore sunglasses. I even have some pictures of
it somewhere, and that's very important because when she came in,
we were told no pictures.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
No one is supposed to approach miss Houston.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Yah yah, yeah, blah blah blah. I SAIDs that Whitney
freaking Houston. I'm gonna get me a picture of or
with Whitney Houston. So I had my camera on, I
was ready, okay. I didn't even use the flash. I
didn't think any was around me. I took a picture
of Whitney Houston and CC Winings as they were doing
their rehearsal on stage. Brandy Norwood's mother ran to tell
(29:50):
the grammy folks that they needed to fire me for
taking that picture.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I vowed it.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
This is thirty years ago, thirty years ago, thirty years ago.
I said, I will never ever do anything to help
her or her family ever again.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And mind you, I knew Brandy's father and Ray J.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Brandy's father is a brother in the same fratorney as
me and Mega Sci Fi fraternity. I met Brandy's father,
Willie Norwood, long before I met Brandy or Sonia the mother. Okay,
long story short. When I said, I never thirty years later,
they're pitched to me. I told Tola, I said, Brandy
will never ever be a part of anything I do
(30:37):
in my life. And today I had the pleasure of
saying to the publicist fting kids package.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Deal with Brandy and Liam Neeson to Wallow, that's up
to you. You have your own Norwood story.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Look, I have never had a good interaction with miss
Norwood ever, ever, ever, ever, never, I have gone above
and beyond. I think I have a picture of me
uh and my former assistant program director. So I was
the musical director. He was assistant program director, Dorsey full
of the Third. We were sitting at a restaurant trying
(31:15):
to convince Brandy to do a show for us after
she had fallen out with by station because of her mother.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Look if when I was writing for my column for
euur Web, I never missed an opportunity to talk mess
about Brandy. She knows who I am. She cannot stand me,
I'm sure, and the feeling is mutual. She will never
ever be a part of anything that I ever do,
and her mama to And I don't care who buddy
who knows run Tail that right.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
This This business is replete with.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Crutches, Matetas you talk about cancel culture, she is canceled
from anything I will ever. I don't care if she
wins an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, a Razzie Award,
the Best Breath award. She is never ever going to
be a part of anything I do, Brandy, nor would.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
The best Breath. I said that.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Because the rumor was because she had stink breath. That's
the only reason I said that.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Damn, you got that close to her. We have been
that close to her. Yeah. As a matter of fact, there's.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
A story that we're going to talk about later tonight
talking about Lionel Ritchie and MJ's lack supposed lack of hygiene.
And I say that to say, in this business, you
get close enough to people to experience them as humans.
You get to see how they are. Maybe they may
(32:45):
be you know, god awful famous, but there's still people,
and sometimes when they're so famous, they become disconnected with
the normal little things that you and I would be
concerned about, you know, taking a shower, putting on deodorant,
brushing her teeth. I told the stories about Nny Kravits
all the time. Lenny Kravits was not special in that regard.
He's part of a lot of artists who didn't watch
(33:08):
the ass as they say, just stink.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
So when I tell the story later on about what
Lion or Richie had to say about Michael Jackson, I
one hundred percent believe him.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Love Lenny Kravitz, but he does smell like hot elephant.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Thank you, thank you. He's not. It's nothing. I don't
care how many women fall out about him in his abs.
He's stank.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
He came to the station and you could smell him
down the hallway. Just were probably leather, sweat and leather,
no shirt, funking cologne.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I was like, the cologne does not cover up ass?
Whose elephant asses up in here?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Be on the box score when we come back and
I met what I said, I said what I said, Brandy,
I know someone's listening probably probably want to run, Tell her, run,
tell that Sonya too.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's my house, eyo vivo key, hey if I am
sixported with live everyone now.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
I heard radio at k s I and k os
t h D two, Los Angeles, Orange County, more stimulating
