Speaker 1 (00:22):
Okay if I am six forty yes later with moo Kelly.
We're live on YouTube and Instagram. Instagram is back, and
of course we're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's
a huge news day in southern California. We have Lakers news,
which coincides with Dodgers news, which coincides with seven eleven news. Really, yes,
(00:44):
we have a seven eleven update. And you know, it's
never good when it's seven to eleven. If it's Metro
or seven eleven, it's probably not positive. And to piss
off Mark Ronner, Hey, good evening, Mark Runner.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I didn't see you there. I'm glad you began that way.
Thank you. We know what your agenda is early.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
On, how's your sexy? Ask to him? People are still
asking about it. Let's just move on. Let's get through
the evening with a shred of dignity left.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Oh come on, it's not what this show is about. Yeah,
you're actually right about that. Fans want to know that's right.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
What could I have been thinking? That's what you get
for wearing shorts up in here?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
True, the Speedo's next. Somebody like that in there? I
can tell Tyler Perry. He is in trouble. He is
being sued for sexual assault and sexual harassment. We're going
to get into that. And I always say, we don't
know these people. I'm not saying it's true. I'm not
saying it's untrue. I'm saying we don't know Tyler Perry personally.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Have I met him, Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Have I been around him, Yes, helped book him for
a radio show when I was a radio producer many
years ago. I wouldn't say that I would know him
or what goes on in his personal life. But someone
has come forward and the allegations include text messages, so
you know what that means. There's already evidence on the
table and it doesn't look good. And since this Wednesday,
(02:05):
you know, it's time for the viral Load. At nine
pm tonight, Tiffany Hobbs, We'll be joining us in studio
with the latest in social media, the stories that we're discussing,
the challenges that we're conducting, all the stupid things that
we're doing just because of social media. And I tell
you how I love watching documentaries. Because of the streaming revolution,
(02:27):
there are more documentaries produced than ever before. I don't know,
I talked about it here on the show, but I
don't know if anyone got to see it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Mark, did you, by chance get to see.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The Peacock documentary called Gary talking about the life and
ultimate death of Gary Coleman.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, I haven't yet. We talked about it and I
put it on my list.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Though, if you get a chance, it's now relevant again,
so go back if you get some time to watch it.
Because Gary Coleman's ex wife, shed And Price, she's saying
that she's willing to take a lie detector test because
coming out of that documentary there were renewed suspicions that
she actually murdered him. Now we all know that a
(03:09):
light detector test is not proof of anything, but she
feels that she can clear her name by way of
a light detector test. We're going to place some of
the audio later on tonight from that documentary when Schennon
Price tells her side of the story, you can come
to your own conclusion and also what's next for her,
and also you know how general society is weighing in
(03:32):
on that. And from my final thought tonight, I'm just
letting you know it's going to be us and Iran.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I'm going to go deep on that. I'm gonna do a.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Deep dive historical dive as far as what has happened
in the past seventy years basically, and what's happening right now,
what we should expect going forward.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's a scary time. Let's be real.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We haven't been this close to some sort of armed
conflict or armed aggression involving Iran since maybe nineteen seventy
nine in Earnest.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
In Earnest.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now we've had some issues along the way, we'll talk
about that, but we're closer now than ever before. It's
unfortunate because I thought this was a no more wars
never mind never mind and oh oh, the city of
Carson they have prohibited all fireworks, and if you're not
from that area, you may not know that Carson had
allowed for some time that you.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Could buy safe insane fireworks.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That's the fireworks brand that they don't shoot into the air,
they don't really explode, the more like flicker, and they're
less dangerous arguably than the more traditional forms of fireworks
that we see and the illegal ones going on in
everybody's neighborhood. Like right now, I can't speak for anyone
else a Carnation. I'm just going to ask you. I
know you're just really walking in and welcome back.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Carnation.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wasn't with us last night? She wasn't feeling too well.
That's the on button. You have to hit the on button. Okay,
now we can hear you. Is this your first or
will this be your first? Fourth of July in southern California.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Oh, it's will and Everlasting. The yeah, I know that song,
Natalie cool, but.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh, the Fourth.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Of July has already started. Oh in southern California. No,
you don't understand. I've been to New Orleans. I know
they can throw a party, but when it comes to
fireworks in Southern California.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It is it is unnatural what people do.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It goes on for days, and once it gets started,
I mean in Earnest it starts maybe July third, they'll
really start going crazy. It sounds like what I imagine
to be a war zone. Yes, it's it's going to
be otherworldly. And if you're not from Southern California.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You you don't have real a real reference point, because
it goes on at least on July fourth through July fifth.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
We live downtown and I'm hearing fireworks every day, like
early in the morning before we're coming into this S three,
it's sound like a bomb went off, and I'm like,
what are y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh, it's just warming up, Carneisha. I'm here to tell
you this is just getting started. So we have to
talk about the city of Carson, what they're trying to
do to help alleviate that. Yes, I'm going to get
into the Lakers at the bottom of this hour. I
want to finish my thoughts on that. So much to
discuss with that you've probably heard by now. The Lakers
(06:31):
are being sold to one of the Dodgers owners, and
so the Lakers ten billion dollars. The price tag ten billion,
the most expensive sale of a franchise in sports history
at least as of right now, ten billion dollars, pending
approval by the NBA.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So we have so much to discuss tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
We're going to hear from you and the Momigos and
the Motown Chat.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I know they've already got it going. The party started.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We're live on Instagram, We're live on YouTube, and we're
live on KFI and everywhere else.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
On the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
KFIAM six forty. It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
We're live on Instagram, We're live on YouTube, and we're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I was never a
kid who was really big on fireworks. I had an
accident where a kid put a firework in my hand
and exploded in my hand. This was like maybe six
or seventh grade. So I was never really big on fireworks.
You didn't have to tell me to stay away from them.
(07:41):
But for some people it's a lifelong attraction. You see
adults thirty five, forty forty five years old lighting off
these illegal fireworks, professional grade fireworks, and they're dangerous not
only to that person, but the rest of the community.
Set a house on fire, what have you. Over the years,
in decades, we've seen fewer and fewer legal places to
(08:05):
purchase fireworks. There were some cities, I think Englewood for
a while, I know Carson would and you get safe, insane,
safe and sane. They didn't explode, they didn't fly in
the air, but they were still legal.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
No more. Let's go to Carson for a second.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The city council recently adopted an ordinance prohibiting all fireworks,
repealing the previous rule that allowed the safe insane variety
that I just told you about. Under this new policy,
violators could be fined up to five grand for the
first end. First defense citations are two grand, second offenses
(08:42):
are three grand, and third offenses will get you the
five grand. Now, who's going to get sighted three times?
I'm not even sure if someone's going to get cited
just one time. But here's this. Those who report the
use of fireworks in the city can receive rewards to
two hundred fifty dollars or five hundred dollars. If you're
(09:04):
willing to rat out someone, to dime on someone, to
snitch on someone, you might be the recipient of five
hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
But here's the thing which really bothers me. And I'm
being serious about this.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Carson's going to partner with the La County sheriffs and
Fire's departments to enforce the policy. I'm fine with that,
I'm fine, but this is how they're going to do it.
They're going to use drones to closely surveil the community
and identify violators that concerns me. Remember we've had this
conversation before about using drones and monitoring what people are
(09:40):
doing in their backyards, what people are doing in quote
unquote the private aspect of their lives, and then you
have police monitoring that and the unattended consequences of what
may come out of that. And if you're watching YouTube
right now, you can see Mayor Lula Davis ho Holmes,
who was making the announcement. I have always been reticent
(10:04):
to be too supportive of drones flying over our houses.
And I remember last time we talked about drones, someone said, well,
what about a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Isn't that the same thing?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Not?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Really, it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Have the degree of detail, and it's not just like
right over your backyard with a camera and can map
your backyard map. What do you mean, bo, Well, if
you've ever had like your backyard done or landscaped, it
is common practice that they'll use a drone to scan
your backyard for dimensions so they can render you a
(10:38):
mock of what your backyard will look like. And all
I'm saying is that's a lot of information to be
giving out, and the capability is such that it can
be done with your backyard under any circumstances, and the
thought of law enforcement just looking in my backyard to
see if people are using illegal fireworks. They didn't say
that it was only going to use the drone to
(10:59):
see if you're using illegal fireworks on the street. I
would have to interpret this that they're actually looking in
your backyards as well and monitoring your activity. That makes
me feel very uncomfortable. And I'm not pro fireworks, but
I am pro privacy, even though it is an illusion
in large to a large degree. But I understand the
(11:23):
need to want to clamp down on this. The fireworks
are dangerous. And I was kidding Carnesia last segment, but
she will see up close and personal what I'm talking about, Stephan.
He knows exactly what's awaiting Carnesia, And you can't really
adequately describe it. Mark, I don't know in your neighborhood
(11:44):
whether it's as bad as far as the illegal, professional
grade fireworks.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Oh, it's like living in Beirut making a mistake. My
neighbors keep the Fourth of July alive all year around.
I hate it, and I have this love hate relationship
with like I like to see the fireworks I like
to go outside, and if you were to come to
Chateau Le Mo, I can't get Mark out there to
too many people there.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
He doesn't like people.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Well maybe this year though, Okay you are like, uh,
we're rolling tables, right, Okay, you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
You know what I'm getting ready to say.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You are invited Mark Ronner to the fifth annual or
semi annual because COVID got away Chateau Fourth of July
Celebration live broadcast.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
The numbers are coming down. It might be safer this year.
All right, We're down to like two hundred COVID deaths
a week and we won't even make you work that night.
You can just hang out. You can have the long
suffering one drive and you can have a drink with me. Well,
let me consult with her on that we need like
a waiting for Mark, like waiting for Eddie for the
fourth of July. Well, let me tell you, nobody loves
(12:45):
anything greater than being appointed a designated driver in their
absence when they don't get a vote on it. Well, okay,
that'll be great. Life is difficult sometimes, but I will
say this, we're overdue. We have a backyard area, so
you don't have to be in the house per se.
We have we have we'll have the garage where we
have a seating area so it's open air.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You you won't have to necessarily be, you know, too
close to people.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
You'll be renting some honey buckets for the backyard, will
you honey buckets?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
What for the bees porta potties?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, no, you can go in the house. Okay, I look,
or you can hold it. It's up to you.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
No. No, we're not holding anything around here. Can we
can we refocus?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Please? Fireworks.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
All I'm saying is Carnesia doesn't know what's awaiting her.
But I was saying that my love hate relationship with
this from my house. There's a vantage point in a
community park in our development. And Stephan, you haven't even
seen this yet. Hopefully we can get you out. Yeah.
It's a three sixty panoramic view of all the fireworks
(13:49):
in south in southern California, not necessarily as far as
San Diego, but you can see Disneyland, you can see
Marina del Rey, you can see downtown Los Angeles, and
it's a beautiful view. Now, the danger is in my
neighborhood and probably yours too, Stefan. There are folks who
celebrate the Fourth of July with guns. They don't use
(14:11):
actual fireworks. They just shoot off the guns in the air.
Carneatians look at me like I'm crazy. No, I'm being
very I'm being serious. And a twallower here he's out
doing something that is a real thing. And they warn
against it every single year. Every single year, someone still
does it. And if you've lived in the city long enough,
you can usually tell the difference in the sound between
(14:34):
gunshots and fireworks.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Well, the problem is those bullets come down eventually. That's
the problem.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I'm like, they don't shoot it in the ground because
in the Wallans they shoot at the ground.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
No, no, no, no, they shoot up into the air that
and on New Year's Eve, and they don't use logic
that like Mark said, that it comes down. Yeah, we
have gravity. They often forget to factor in graphicy. Well,
they're not shooting. I'm quite sure they're not shooting, you know,
at at twelve o'clock. They're probably shooting at eleven o'clock.
So they think it's not going to harm them. They're
not worried about themselves. It'll just lodge harmlessly in the moon.
(15:04):
What do they care?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, of course, of course, but it is it's a
real thing.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It is something that when I lived in Harbor City,
I would watch the fireworks, but it was I was
always under some sort of overhang or awning or something
or something to keep you sheel.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Safe, just to shield me.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
If there should be a bullet falling down and people go, MO,
why won't you come out and watch the fireworks, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I'll stay right here the same though.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Look, my love hate with it is just like it's
fun to watch, but it's like by two thirty in
the morning, I think it's time to go to bed
or so we should wear hard hats. Pack it up
for your party. You could, You could some some some
kevlar would be in order. A good host would supply
the hard hats.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, but I don't know if the construction hard hats
would would be enough.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
And kevlar is too expensive and illegal in someplace. It
is a little pricey. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But I still want you to come if you're willing
to have you know, risk getting shot.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
This might be the year.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I mean, you've been shot before with non lethal round,
so you should be somewhat used to this.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
It still sucks. You never get used to it. It's
not like you work up a tolerance for getting shot.
Sure fairly, sure, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Okay, it's Later with mokel We got to talk about
the Lakers big news today.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
You've probably heard some of it. I got to give
you my thoughts on it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The Lakers are in the process of being sold to
one of the owners of the Dodgers. What that might
mean for the team, what that might mean for just
Los Angeles more broadly.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
We'll talk about it next.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Forty KFI MI from O Kelly. We're live everywhere on Instagram,
We're live on YouTube, and we're live on the iHeartRadio app.
I love the Los Angeles Lakers. I've been a Lakers
fan since nineteen seventy seven. Don't ask me why I
(16:57):
remember that, but I do remember that very quickly. I
was in love with the Lakers before Showtime, but I
got to see all of Showtime with Magic Johnson with Kareem,
and I think that's when I started watching the Lakers.
When Kareem came to the Lakers I think that was
nineteen seventy seven. I got to see all the greatness
of the Lakers, including Shaq and Kobe and Paul Gasol.
(17:21):
I mentioned that because in between those moments of greatness,
there were some rough times. There were some lean moments,
especially when Shaq left the Lakers and it was just
Kobe for a while. There were some really, really bad teams.
I mentioned this because there was a question of whether
the team had lost its way. Doctor Jerry Buss, who
purchased the Lakers in nineteen seventy nine for about sixty
(17:45):
seven million, if I remember correctly, he passed away in
twenty thirteen, and the franchise largely lost its way. It
was not the franchise of greatness in years before, and
there was a question of lead. When doctor Buss passed away,
he gave the team to Gym Bus to initially run,
(18:06):
and then there was an internal fight in the family
and Genie Bus eventually took over and was the principal owner.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And we've had up and down moments.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Obviously getting Lebron and the championship in twenty twenty helped
to some degree, but they haven't had the type of
success that Lakers.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Fans are used to.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
So there has been a growing movement for Genie Bus
and the family of the Bus family to sell the team,
and that moment has now come. Today it was announced
that the Lakers are being sold to one of its
minority owners, Mark Walter, who was the principal owner of
the Dodgers. That's very, very, very important. So not only
(18:48):
will the Lakers be owned by someone who was inside
that Laker family and understands the history as well as
I do, but it's coming from the standpoint of remaking
a franchise in a way that Walter the Guggenheim Group
remade the Dodgers into a perennial winner and not afraid
to spend money. Was like, MO, I know someone thinking, well, mo,
(19:12):
don't they have like a salary cap in basketball, so
you can't necessarily just spend as much money as you want. Well,
they have a soft cap, and that means you can
spend up to a certain amount, which is the salary cap.
But if you go over that, then you have to
pay what is called a luxury tax. They don't care
about the luxury tax. We're talking about tens of billions
(19:33):
of dollars. If they have available to pay players whatever
they want. They have done that with the Dodgers, where
they paid shohey Atani seven hundred million over the course
of ten years. They are very very smart as far
as how they structure the contracts, and they know that
when you make the right deals, you'll get the return
(19:55):
on that investment in the way of merchandising, licensing and
also chantmpionships. We've seen it with the Dodgers that show
Hail Taani deal in only a second year has paid
for itself, and I hope and suspect that they will
use that same type of approach with the Lakers. Ten
billion dollars the most expensive franchise sale in the history
(20:16):
of sports, and if you're the Bus family, you're not
going anywhere. Genie Bus and the Bus family they'll still
be minority owners. I think they'll retain fifteen percent. So
think of it this way. You control the Lakers, you
are the principal owner. You sell the team, or at
least the majority stake, for ten billion, and you still
(20:36):
get to make a percentage off the team and its
future success without the stress of having it succeed. Now
A part of me is sad because I do remember
when doctor Jerry Buss purchased the Lakers and then the Kings.
He purchased the Lakers and Kings at the same time
in nineteen seventy nine from the late Jack Kemp Cook
(20:58):
and the Lakers were a joke at that time.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
That was right before they got Magic.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Johnson immediately transformed the Lakers and also the NBA. If
you remember how the NBA was struggling back then, but
then you had Magic and Bird and the rest, as
they say, is history. But that's where the Lakers are
headed in their fortunes. I mentioned the Dodgers because I
would be remiss if I didn't also give you the
latest regarding their ongoing controversy where today a coalition of
(21:26):
Latino groups called out the Los Angeles Dodgers. They had
a press conference and the coalition comprised of Little Latin
America USA, California Rising, El Salvador Corridor Association CDI Coalition,
and the LA Youth and Family Foundation organized this press
conference to call out the Dodgers for what we were
(21:47):
talking about, for not speaking out in regard and in
relation to the ice raids quote. We are calling on
the Dodgers and other prominent LA sports teams to step
up and support our initiative, which engages Latino communities throughout
Greater Los Angeles. This is a vital opportunity for the
(22:07):
Dodgers to join us in championing much needed cultural events
and mutual aid efforts that uplift the most vulnerable, many
of whom are longtime Dodgers fans and are also adversely
affected by ICE enforcement actions.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Close quote. Will this make a difference, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't know if the Dodgers are, you know, on
the verge of making a statement or taking a stand
or dressing the controversy. But I do know it does
not help the Dodgers in the eyes of their larger community,
the Latino community and their fans in general, because the Dodgers,
as I've said before, have a history of speaking out.
(22:48):
They have a documented history of also taking a side
when it comes to cultural issues. Maybe they're not going
to do that anymore, but they will lose if they
choose to go in this very different direction because that
has been part of the Dodgers' brand.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
So if you're a Dodgers fan, it's almost like good
news bad news, good news.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You can say some of the Dodgers of Magic no
pun intended is going to be rubbing off on the Lakers.
But the bad news is the Dodgers are still under
that cloud of controversy surrounding ice raids and this reticence
not to say anything at all. I'm still a Dodgers
fan through and through. I'm definitely a Lakers fan through
(23:33):
and through, but I'm not blind to what's going on
in the city of Los Angeles and the Dodgers' responsibility
my word to take a side and to take a stand.
It's Later with Mokeli Cafi AM six forty. We're live
on YouTube, We're live on Instagram, and we're live on
the iHeartRadio app. Make sure if you're going to watch
(23:54):
the YouTube show that you like and subscribe. Get a
part of the motown community. Hang out with the bomigos,
share information and stories.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
We have a good time there.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
We're developing the same community on Instagram and we want
you to become part of it.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
KIM six forty is Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app, and
I'm telling you it's not my imagination.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It is not my imagination. When I tell.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You to stay away from seven to eleven, it's because
I care about you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I'm concerned about your safety.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And we told you about the string of robberies which
we're taking taking place at only.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Seven eleven, not Circle K, not AMPM, not the little
Mini mark the Dino mart on the corner, only seven eleven.
So when I tell you the story about how police
are still searching for a driver who crashed into seven
eleven seemingly intentionally, not only is it not safe for
(25:03):
you to go to seven eleven because it might get
robbed while you're there, you might have a car crash
in to the actual MIDI mark.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
The begin news that I just talked to laped West traffic.
There was nobody injured, but look at the damage that
was done to this seat.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
There is no car here.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
LAPD West traffic sergeant tells me that the car backed
out and took off after crashing into seven eleven. The
fire department got here pretty quickly, pat because they're building
is actually right behind the seven eleven, so they did
not have to go very far at all, that is
the fire station, so LAFD members were able to come
out and very quickly assess the situation. Meanwhile, the seven
eleven has some significant damage. It's likely that Building and
Safety will come in try to make sure that the
(25:40):
structural integrity is okay. And now West Traffic Division will
have to find the driver. You certainly think the seven
eleven would have cameras. We'll try to get ahold of
that video.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, there's probably some sort of video that is forthcoming.
But I'm thinking if you're seven to eleven, it seems
like every story in the news is negative. Someone's getting
robbed of seven elevens getting looted, or you're having a
car careen into the store. Tell me the truth. Maybe
(26:14):
the last time you saw a seven eleven commercial?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I can't think of it.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I can't think of a time. Yeah, all I ever
see is a MPM. Yeah, those are the only ones.
And that's why it's too much good stuff. Yeah, that's
all too much good I mean, And maybe it's because
if you're seven eleven, why advertise, because they're always.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
In the news, always in the news.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Of course, not for anything good, but they're always in
the news. I gotta ask is there a seven eleven
equivalent in New Orleans or a seven eleven big in
New Orleans?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Carneesia. We do have a brother brothers the chicken. They
sell a chicken and yeah, and they but this gas
station as well, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Okay, yeah, seven eleven is usually stand alone, but they
also sometimes can be found at gas stations. But seven
eleven is real big out here for some reason. And
some of them sell gas. Yeah, yeah, they do, they do.
I just don't understand why. You know, people actually go
there because the food isn't good. You might get you no, no, Cardisian,
(27:30):
you have to turn on your mic.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
The hot dogs are really good and banacho.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
No, they're not good. They're not good. The pizza's not good.
It's been on that swirling plate for about four hours.
The hot dogs have been on that roller for three hours.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
There's flyes slaughter around. There's nothing protecting the hot dogs
from the elements. There's absolutely nothing. I don't know why
why people eat it now?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Tauala He says, he still goes to seven eleven, maybe
for the coffee or something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
He stops by seven eleven on a way to work.
I tell people, don't go to seven eleven. It's not safe.
Here's another example of it not being safe at seven eleven,
and people will still go.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
I'm afraid from my life at seven eleven. And we
do these stories all the time, and it is obviously,
like I'm telling the truth, it is dangerous if you
go to a seven eleven, but people don't want to
believe me.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
The good news is I just talked to LAPD West Traffic.
There was nobody injured. But look at the damage that
was done to the seven eleven store and as you
can see, Pat, there is no car here. LAPD West
Traffic sergeant tells me that the car backed out and
took off after crashing into seven eleven. The fire department
got here pretty quickly, Pat, because they're building is actually
right behind the seven eleven, so they did not have
to go very far at all. That is the fire station,
(28:42):
so LAFD members were able to come out and very
quickly assess the situation. Meanwhile, the seven eleven has some
significant damage. It's likely that Building and Safety will come
in try to make sure that the structural integrity is okay.
And now West Traffic Division will have to find the driver.
You certainly think the seven eleven would have cameras. We'll
try to get ahold of that video.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
And the YouTube.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Boattown chat Henry Uchiyama says seven eleven in Japan is
so awesome from what I can tell first, seven eleven
is all around the world.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Yeah, but it's like a whole other It is a
completely different world. I've seen a couple of videos and
they have like gourmet stuff at the japan ones.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I haven't been to the Japan once, but I've been
to the ones in South Korea. Wearing my South Korea
t shirt today.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I've been to South Korea, and I've been to the
ones in Mexico. The ones in South Korea are ten
times better than the ones in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
So I guess depending on the country, you know, some
are better than others.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But I would not go to any of them here
in America, like to all it does.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I had a stomach ache on my way to work
and that was the only product place I had to
stop and get a ginger real frosty gingerrell at the
seven eleven just down the street, just right down Hollywood Way.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Couldn't you just go to an AMPM instead, or go
to the Dino mart on the.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Corner d Well.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I did not want to make the turn to the
Dina Martin have to make all those crazy turns to
get out of there. I said, I'm gonna go over
to the seventh elevel because I was going to go
to CVS.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
That's the only reason I was over in that area.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
But I said, you know what, I'm gonna go to
the seventh level real quick because they have you know,
Canada dry ginger elles always frost to go. There wasn't
a single homeless person outside. There wasn't a suckle robber outside.
Uh No one inside was trying to sell me rat wings,
none of that. Okay, are these filthy hot dogs in
the Cardcia likes?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Those things look like they have fallen on the ground
all day. They may have. How do you know? You don't?
You don't go there for the first on the rollers?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Just if you watched them put it on the rollers,
that means just not ready to be eaten on. J
Solomon in the in the chat says, but the cherry
slurpy mo you can get cherry slurpees elsewhere.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Can't you slurpy? No, No, you can get but Lushy's
at AMPN.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
We only have flavors like Coca cola and cherry.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Yes, the cooking seven eleven has all types blueberry, pineapple, mango.
They have all types of crazy risk your life on
some blueberry. I have never been accosted. Well, i've been handled.
I've been panhandled, okay, but I typically walked by the
panhandle said hey. Especially when my kids were younger, I
(31:30):
would say, all my spare change is right there, man,
all my spare change right see those two kids.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
That's my spare change. Man, move it. I do remember it,
and I think it was the seven elevel.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
This was many years ago and I had much more
of a mouth on me than I do today. But
I was going into seven eleven and it was a
homeless guy outside. I remember because I got so mad
and he said, do you have like spare change? I said, no,
I'm the spare change. He said, brother, I can look
at you. I know you have something. First, I said, brother,
(32:02):
it's like I don't know you.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
He was all in your pocket.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I hate that, say stay out of my pockets, you know,
just because you think I may have something, it doesn't
mean that you're entitled to it.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I don't care if I have three dollars of quarters
in my pocket. It doesn't mean that you get a
piece of that.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
And I looked at him. I said, first, I said,
stay out of my pocket.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And if I choose to give you something, all I
need to hear from you is thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
That's it. That's it. We're not going to have a
discussion about what's in my pocket. Now. See.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
I've had someone ask me and said, hey, hey, you
got these spare change. I said, nah, man, I never
asked spare change. Well, can you can when you go in?
Can you bring me something out to eat? Like adding
to my tab? When I go in, I'm like, the
dirty nerve of you, panhandler, get out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
When I was in North Carolina, I can't remember what
it was, but it was kind of like a It
was a sandwich shopper sometimes and I was out there
for a family reunion and I see this young brother
walk up to me, and it's like, Okay, I know
what this is about, but I'm on guard because I
don't like people walking up to me. And he says,
my brother, I don't know you. It's always my brother.
(33:15):
Can you help me get something to eat?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Were you approached by Philip Michael Thomas from Miami Fighting. No,
it was more Huggy Bear. Okay, start using skin hutch
because he says, my brother. And at first I'm thinking,
not your brother, but I'll let you finish. He says,
can you help me get something to eat? And I said,
and I was in a decent mood, It's like, what
all right? What did you have in mind? And they're
(33:38):
like four places and he pointed to this expensive sandwich
shop across the way, and I said, that is what
you think that I'm going to buy for you. You need
to choose from the other side of the midu, you know.
And I said something to the fact of beggars can't
be choosers, you know, if you're asking me to do
(34:00):
something out of the goodness of my heart and I
don't even know you. You know, I couldn't fault him
for starting up here, you know, if he's going to
ask for food he wanted, like a gourmet sandwich. Were
you in front of like a convenience store already?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
No, it was if we were in Durham, North Carolina
and there were like a lot of spots.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
There's like a Panda Express.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
There are all sorts of bunch of eateies.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
It was an open air market area, and you know,
the homeless people were out.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
He chose like pictures. They knew what the food was.
Play yes, yeah, he's shot for the movie.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
And he said no.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I said, no, not there, because I know, like every
sandwich can be like sixteen dollars something ridiculous. I said, no,
we can go over here to this like it was
like this subway looking place and I get you like
a six or seven dollars sandwich or someone.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah, but you always start the negotiation high. That's a
good tactic. I applaud him here because then he knows
anything less. He says, okay, okay, okay, hey just give
me a slice. They just like all right, I'll get
you that.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah. Then it's a win. He would have done better
to not save my brother. Okay, quick.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Has it ever ever happened where someone is trying to
hit you up for some change and I ain't got
nothing this that thathing, and you come out with something
for them and you see them on a cell phone.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
No, that has not happened to me. Happened to happen.
Speaker 7 (35:16):
I kept I went into the seven eleven I was,
I got some chips and I got a drink for
this cat outside. I came out and he was standing
over by the side, and he had a cell phone
on and he was typing something in his cell phone.
I walked right by and with those snacks, I was like,
you blank and blank blank, How you got a cell
phone that's obviously got service in minutes and all that,
(35:37):
and you asking me you better sell that cell phone?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Oh wait? Was he making stock trades? What do you carry?
It doesn't matter. I don't care you.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
You don't have a cell phone, and you're asking me
for money.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
The phone. What you're doing with the phone? You got
money for your phone bill. You don't know his story.
I don't need to. You don't need to.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I get to the side because I'm the keeper of
the cash. I get to be judgmental his story. He's
got a cell phone, that's did you see him bidding
on an eBay auction on the line.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
You don't know what he was doing. I don't care
what he's got.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
You don't have money for a cell phone and not
have money to eat. You don't have to have a
cell phone, right, but you gotta eat that it was.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
A government phone. They do give out government I don't
want to.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Hear about your Obama phone. I don't want to hear.
Then use your eating to get yourself some food. Right that.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
If he's done so, he needs to look up where
the nearest EBT center is we can get that car.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
That's exactly how Jesus would have put it. I'm proud
of you.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Come on, Mark, I definitely.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Jesus also taught someone how to fish. I would have
taught his asks how to fish and can I have
some money? Time for the news. It's later boy and
YouTube he Aspy and
Speaker 6 (36:51):
The KOs T HD two Los Angeles, Orange County more
stimulating talk
Okay if I am six forty yes later with moo Kelly.
We're live on YouTube and Instagram. Instagram is back, and
of course we're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's
a huge news day in southern California. We have Lakers news,
which coincides with Dodgers news, which coincides with seven eleven news. Really, yes,
(00:44):
we have a seven eleven update. And you know, it's
never good when it's seven to eleven. If it's Metro
or seven eleven, it's probably not positive. And to piss
off Mark Ronner, Hey, good evening, Mark Runner.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I didn't see you there. I'm glad you began that way.
Thank you. We know what your agenda is early.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
On, how's your sexy? Ask to him? People are still
asking about it. Let's just move on. Let's get through
the evening with a shred of dignity left.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Oh come on, it's not what this show is about. Yeah,
you're actually right about that. Fans want to know that's right.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
What could I have been thinking? That's what you get
for wearing shorts up in here?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
True, the Speedo's next. Somebody like that in there? I
can tell Tyler Perry. He is in trouble. He is
being sued for sexual assault and sexual harassment. We're going
to get into that. And I always say, we don't
know these people. I'm not saying it's true. I'm not
saying it's untrue. I'm saying we don't know Tyler Perry personally.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Have I met him, Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Have I been around him, Yes, helped book him for
a radio show when I was a radio producer many
years ago. I wouldn't say that I would know him
or what goes on in his personal life. But someone
has come forward and the allegations include text messages, so
you know what that means. There's already evidence on the
table and it doesn't look good. And since this Wednesday,
(02:05):
you know, it's time for the viral Load. At nine
pm tonight, Tiffany Hobbs, We'll be joining us in studio
with the latest in social media, the stories that we're discussing,
the challenges that we're conducting, all the stupid things that
we're doing just because of social media. And I tell
you how I love watching documentaries. Because of the streaming revolution,
(02:27):
there are more documentaries produced than ever before. I don't know,
I talked about it here on the show, but I
don't know if anyone got to see it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Mark, did you, by chance get to see.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The Peacock documentary called Gary talking about the life and
ultimate death of Gary Coleman.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, I haven't yet. We talked about it and I
put it on my list.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Though, if you get a chance, it's now relevant again,
so go back if you get some time to watch it.
Because Gary Coleman's ex wife, shed And Price, she's saying
that she's willing to take a lie detector test because
coming out of that documentary there were renewed suspicions that
she actually murdered him. Now we all know that a
(03:09):
light detector test is not proof of anything, but she
feels that she can clear her name by way of
a light detector test. We're going to place some of
the audio later on tonight from that documentary when Schennon
Price tells her side of the story, you can come
to your own conclusion and also what's next for her,
and also you know how general society is weighing in
(03:32):
on that. And from my final thought tonight, I'm just
letting you know it's going to be us and Iran.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I'm going to go deep on that. I'm gonna do a.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Deep dive historical dive as far as what has happened
in the past seventy years basically, and what's happening right now,
what we should expect going forward.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's a scary time. Let's be real.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We haven't been this close to some sort of armed
conflict or armed aggression involving Iran since maybe nineteen seventy
nine in Earnest.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
In Earnest.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now we've had some issues along the way, we'll talk
about that, but we're closer now than ever before. It's
unfortunate because I thought this was a no more wars
never mind never mind and oh oh, the city of
Carson they have prohibited all fireworks, and if you're not
from that area, you may not know that Carson had
allowed for some time that you.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Could buy safe insane fireworks.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That's the fireworks brand that they don't shoot into the air,
they don't really explode, the more like flicker, and they're
less dangerous arguably than the more traditional forms of fireworks
that we see and the illegal ones going on in
everybody's neighborhood. Like right now, I can't speak for anyone
else a Carnation. I'm just going to ask you. I
know you're just really walking in and welcome back.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Carnation.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wasn't with us last night? She wasn't feeling too well.
That's the on button. You have to hit the on button. Okay,
now we can hear you. Is this your first or
will this be your first? Fourth of July in southern California.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Oh, it's will and Everlasting. The yeah, I know that song,
Natalie cool, but.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh, the Fourth.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Of July has already started. Oh in southern California. No,
you don't understand. I've been to New Orleans. I know
they can throw a party, but when it comes to
fireworks in Southern California.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It is it is unnatural what people do.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It goes on for days, and once it gets started,
I mean in Earnest it starts maybe July third, they'll
really start going crazy. It sounds like what I imagine
to be a war zone. Yes, it's it's going to
be otherworldly. And if you're not from Southern California.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You you don't have real a real reference point, because
it goes on at least on July fourth through July fifth.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
We live downtown and I'm hearing fireworks every day, like
early in the morning before we're coming into this S three,
it's sound like a bomb went off, and I'm like,
what are y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh, it's just warming up, Carneisha. I'm here to tell
you this is just getting started. So we have to
talk about the city of Carson, what they're trying to
do to help alleviate that. Yes, I'm going to get
into the Lakers at the bottom of this hour. I
want to finish my thoughts on that. So much to
discuss with that you've probably heard by now. The Lakers
(06:31):
are being sold to one of the Dodgers owners, and
so the Lakers ten billion dollars. The price tag ten billion,
the most expensive sale of a franchise in sports history
at least as of right now, ten billion dollars, pending
approval by the NBA.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So we have so much to discuss tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
We're going to hear from you and the Momigos and
the Motown Chat.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I know they've already got it going. The party started.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We're live on Instagram, We're live on YouTube, and we're
live on KFI and everywhere else.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
On the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
KFIAM six forty. It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
We're live on Instagram, We're live on YouTube, and we're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I was never a
kid who was really big on fireworks. I had an
accident where a kid put a firework in my hand
and exploded in my hand. This was like maybe six
or seventh grade. So I was never really big on fireworks.
You didn't have to tell me to stay away from them.
(07:41):
But for some people it's a lifelong attraction. You see
adults thirty five, forty forty five years old lighting off
these illegal fireworks, professional grade fireworks, and they're dangerous not
only to that person, but the rest of the community.
Set a house on fire, what have you. Over the years,
in decades, we've seen fewer and fewer legal places to
(08:05):
purchase fireworks. There were some cities, I think Englewood for
a while, I know Carson would and you get safe, insane,
safe and sane. They didn't explode, they didn't fly in
the air, but they were still legal.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
No more. Let's go to Carson for a second.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The city council recently adopted an ordinance prohibiting all fireworks,
repealing the previous rule that allowed the safe insane variety
that I just told you about. Under this new policy,
violators could be fined up to five grand for the
first end. First defense citations are two grand, second offenses
(08:42):
are three grand, and third offenses will get you the
five grand. Now, who's going to get sighted three times?
I'm not even sure if someone's going to get cited
just one time. But here's this. Those who report the
use of fireworks in the city can receive rewards to
two hundred fifty dollars or five hundred dollars. If you're
(09:04):
willing to rat out someone, to dime on someone, to
snitch on someone, you might be the recipient of five
hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
But here's the thing which really bothers me. And I'm
being serious about this.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Carson's going to partner with the La County sheriffs and
Fire's departments to enforce the policy. I'm fine with that,
I'm fine, but this is how they're going to do it.
They're going to use drones to closely surveil the community
and identify violators that concerns me. Remember we've had this
conversation before about using drones and monitoring what people are
(09:40):
doing in their backyards, what people are doing in quote
unquote the private aspect of their lives, and then you
have police monitoring that and the unattended consequences of what
may come out of that. And if you're watching YouTube
right now, you can see Mayor Lula Davis ho Holmes,
who was making the announcement. I have always been reticent
(10:04):
to be too supportive of drones flying over our houses.
And I remember last time we talked about drones, someone said, well,
what about a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Isn't that the same thing?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Not?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Really, it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Have the degree of detail, and it's not just like
right over your backyard with a camera and can map
your backyard map. What do you mean, bo, Well, if
you've ever had like your backyard done or landscaped, it
is common practice that they'll use a drone to scan
your backyard for dimensions so they can render you a
(10:38):
mock of what your backyard will look like. And all
I'm saying is that's a lot of information to be
giving out, and the capability is such that it can
be done with your backyard under any circumstances, and the
thought of law enforcement just looking in my backyard to
see if people are using illegal fireworks. They didn't say
that it was only going to use the drone to
(10:59):
see if you're using illegal fireworks on the street. I
would have to interpret this that they're actually looking in
your backyards as well and monitoring your activity. That makes
me feel very uncomfortable. And I'm not pro fireworks, but
I am pro privacy, even though it is an illusion
in large to a large degree. But I understand the
(11:23):
need to want to clamp down on this. The fireworks
are dangerous. And I was kidding Carnesia last segment, but
she will see up close and personal what I'm talking about, Stephan.
He knows exactly what's awaiting Carnesia, And you can't really
adequately describe it. Mark, I don't know in your neighborhood
(11:44):
whether it's as bad as far as the illegal, professional
grade fireworks.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Oh, it's like living in Beirut making a mistake. My
neighbors keep the Fourth of July alive all year around.
I hate it, and I have this love hate relationship
with like I like to see the fireworks I like
to go outside, and if you were to come to
Chateau Le Mo, I can't get Mark out there to
too many people there.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
He doesn't like people.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Well maybe this year though, Okay you are like, uh,
we're rolling tables, right, Okay, you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
You know what I'm getting ready to say.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You are invited Mark Ronner to the fifth annual or
semi annual because COVID got away Chateau Fourth of July
Celebration live broadcast.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
The numbers are coming down. It might be safer this year.
All right, We're down to like two hundred COVID deaths
a week and we won't even make you work that night.
You can just hang out. You can have the long
suffering one drive and you can have a drink with me. Well,
let me consult with her on that we need like
a waiting for Mark, like waiting for Eddie for the
fourth of July. Well, let me tell you, nobody loves
(12:45):
anything greater than being appointed a designated driver in their
absence when they don't get a vote on it. Well, okay,
that'll be great. Life is difficult sometimes, but I will
say this, we're overdue. We have a backyard area, so
you don't have to be in the house per se.
We have we have we'll have the garage where we
have a seating area so it's open air.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You you won't have to necessarily be, you know, too
close to people.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
You'll be renting some honey buckets for the backyard, will
you honey buckets?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
What for the bees porta potties?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, no, you can go in the house. Okay, I look,
or you can hold it. It's up to you.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
No. No, we're not holding anything around here. Can we
can we refocus?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Please? Fireworks.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
All I'm saying is Carnesia doesn't know what's awaiting her.
But I was saying that my love hate relationship with
this from my house. There's a vantage point in a
community park in our development. And Stephan, you haven't even
seen this yet. Hopefully we can get you out. Yeah.
It's a three sixty panoramic view of all the fireworks
(13:49):
in south in southern California, not necessarily as far as
San Diego, but you can see Disneyland, you can see
Marina del Rey, you can see downtown Los Angeles, and
it's a beautiful view. Now, the danger is in my
neighborhood and probably yours too, Stefan. There are folks who
celebrate the Fourth of July with guns. They don't use
(14:11):
actual fireworks. They just shoot off the guns in the air.
Carneatians look at me like I'm crazy. No, I'm being
very I'm being serious. And a twallower here he's out
doing something that is a real thing. And they warn
against it every single year. Every single year, someone still
does it. And if you've lived in the city long enough,
you can usually tell the difference in the sound between
(14:34):
gunshots and fireworks.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Well, the problem is those bullets come down eventually. That's
the problem.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I'm like, they don't shoot it in the ground because
in the Wallans they shoot at the ground.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
No, no, no, no, they shoot up into the air that
and on New Year's Eve, and they don't use logic
that like Mark said, that it comes down. Yeah, we
have gravity. They often forget to factor in graphicy. Well,
they're not shooting. I'm quite sure they're not shooting, you know,
at at twelve o'clock. They're probably shooting at eleven o'clock.
So they think it's not going to harm them. They're
not worried about themselves. It'll just lodge harmlessly in the moon.
(15:04):
What do they care?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, of course, of course, but it is it's a
real thing.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It is something that when I lived in Harbor City,
I would watch the fireworks, but it was I was
always under some sort of overhang or awning or something
or something to keep you sheel.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Safe, just to shield me.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
If there should be a bullet falling down and people go, MO,
why won't you come out and watch the fireworks, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I'll stay right here the same though.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Look, my love hate with it is just like it's
fun to watch, but it's like by two thirty in
the morning, I think it's time to go to bed
or so we should wear hard hats. Pack it up
for your party. You could, You could some some some
kevlar would be in order. A good host would supply
the hard hats.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, but I don't know if the construction hard hats
would would be enough.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
And kevlar is too expensive and illegal in someplace. It
is a little pricey. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But I still want you to come if you're willing
to have you know, risk getting shot.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
This might be the year.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I mean, you've been shot before with non lethal round,
so you should be somewhat used to this.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
It still sucks. You never get used to it. It's
not like you work up a tolerance for getting shot.
Sure fairly, sure, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Okay, it's Later with mokel We got to talk about
the Lakers big news today.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
You've probably heard some of it. I got to give
you my thoughts on it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The Lakers are in the process of being sold to
one of the owners of the Dodgers. What that might
mean for the team, what that might mean for just
Los Angeles more broadly.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
We'll talk about it next.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Forty KFI MI from O Kelly. We're live everywhere on Instagram,
We're live on YouTube, and we're live on the iHeartRadio app.
I love the Los Angeles Lakers. I've been a Lakers
fan since nineteen seventy seven. Don't ask me why I
(16:57):
remember that, but I do remember that very quickly. I
was in love with the Lakers before Showtime, but I
got to see all of Showtime with Magic Johnson with Kareem,
and I think that's when I started watching the Lakers.
When Kareem came to the Lakers I think that was
nineteen seventy seven. I got to see all the greatness
of the Lakers, including Shaq and Kobe and Paul Gasol.
(17:21):
I mentioned that because in between those moments of greatness,
there were some rough times. There were some lean moments,
especially when Shaq left the Lakers and it was just
Kobe for a while. There were some really, really bad teams.
I mentioned this because there was a question of whether
the team had lost its way. Doctor Jerry Buss, who
purchased the Lakers in nineteen seventy nine for about sixty
(17:45):
seven million, if I remember correctly, he passed away in
twenty thirteen, and the franchise largely lost its way. It
was not the franchise of greatness in years before, and
there was a question of lead. When doctor Buss passed away,
he gave the team to Gym Bus to initially run,
(18:06):
and then there was an internal fight in the family
and Genie Bus eventually took over and was the principal owner.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And we've had up and down moments.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Obviously getting Lebron and the championship in twenty twenty helped
to some degree, but they haven't had the type of
success that Lakers.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Fans are used to.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
So there has been a growing movement for Genie Bus
and the family of the Bus family to sell the team,
and that moment has now come. Today it was announced
that the Lakers are being sold to one of its
minority owners, Mark Walter, who was the principal owner of
the Dodgers. That's very, very, very important. So not only
(18:48):
will the Lakers be owned by someone who was inside
that Laker family and understands the history as well as
I do, but it's coming from the standpoint of remaking
a franchise in a way that Walter the Guggenheim Group
remade the Dodgers into a perennial winner and not afraid
to spend money. Was like, MO, I know someone thinking, well, mo,
(19:12):
don't they have like a salary cap in basketball, so
you can't necessarily just spend as much money as you want. Well,
they have a soft cap, and that means you can
spend up to a certain amount, which is the salary cap.
But if you go over that, then you have to
pay what is called a luxury tax. They don't care
about the luxury tax. We're talking about tens of billions
(19:33):
of dollars. If they have available to pay players whatever
they want. They have done that with the Dodgers, where
they paid shohey Atani seven hundred million over the course
of ten years. They are very very smart as far
as how they structure the contracts, and they know that
when you make the right deals, you'll get the return
(19:55):
on that investment in the way of merchandising, licensing and
also chantmpionships. We've seen it with the Dodgers that show
Hail Taani deal in only a second year has paid
for itself, and I hope and suspect that they will
use that same type of approach with the Lakers. Ten
billion dollars the most expensive franchise sale in the history
(20:16):
of sports, and if you're the Bus family, you're not
going anywhere. Genie Bus and the Bus family they'll still
be minority owners. I think they'll retain fifteen percent. So
think of it this way. You control the Lakers, you
are the principal owner. You sell the team, or at
least the majority stake, for ten billion, and you still
(20:36):
get to make a percentage off the team and its
future success without the stress of having it succeed. Now
A part of me is sad because I do remember
when doctor Jerry Buss purchased the Lakers and then the Kings.
He purchased the Lakers and Kings at the same time
in nineteen seventy nine from the late Jack Kemp Cook
(20:58):
and the Lakers were a joke at that time.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
That was right before they got Magic.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Johnson immediately transformed the Lakers and also the NBA. If
you remember how the NBA was struggling back then, but
then you had Magic and Bird and the rest, as
they say, is history. But that's where the Lakers are
headed in their fortunes. I mentioned the Dodgers because I
would be remiss if I didn't also give you the
latest regarding their ongoing controversy where today a coalition of
(21:26):
Latino groups called out the Los Angeles Dodgers. They had
a press conference and the coalition comprised of Little Latin
America USA, California Rising, El Salvador Corridor Association CDI Coalition,
and the LA Youth and Family Foundation organized this press
conference to call out the Dodgers for what we were
(21:47):
talking about, for not speaking out in regard and in
relation to the ice raids quote. We are calling on
the Dodgers and other prominent LA sports teams to step
up and support our initiative, which engages Latino communities throughout
Greater Los Angeles. This is a vital opportunity for the
(22:07):
Dodgers to join us in championing much needed cultural events
and mutual aid efforts that uplift the most vulnerable, many
of whom are longtime Dodgers fans and are also adversely
affected by ICE enforcement actions.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Close quote. Will this make a difference, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't know if the Dodgers are, you know, on
the verge of making a statement or taking a stand
or dressing the controversy. But I do know it does
not help the Dodgers in the eyes of their larger community,
the Latino community and their fans in general, because the Dodgers,
as I've said before, have a history of speaking out.
(22:48):
They have a documented history of also taking a side
when it comes to cultural issues. Maybe they're not going
to do that anymore, but they will lose if they
choose to go in this very different direction because that
has been part of the Dodgers' brand.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
So if you're a Dodgers fan, it's almost like good
news bad news, good news.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You can say some of the Dodgers of Magic no
pun intended is going to be rubbing off on the Lakers.
But the bad news is the Dodgers are still under
that cloud of controversy surrounding ice raids and this reticence
not to say anything at all. I'm still a Dodgers
fan through and through. I'm definitely a Lakers fan through
(23:33):
and through, but I'm not blind to what's going on
in the city of Los Angeles and the Dodgers' responsibility
my word to take a side and to take a stand.
It's Later with Mokeli Cafi AM six forty. We're live
on YouTube, We're live on Instagram, and we're live on
the iHeartRadio app. Make sure if you're going to watch
(23:54):
the YouTube show that you like and subscribe. Get a
part of the motown community. Hang out with the bomigos,
share information and stories.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
We have a good time there.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
We're developing the same community on Instagram and we want
you to become part of it.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
KIM six forty is Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app, and
I'm telling you it's not my imagination.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It is not my imagination. When I tell.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You to stay away from seven to eleven, it's because
I care about you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I'm concerned about your safety.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And we told you about the string of robberies which
we're taking taking place at only.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Seven eleven, not Circle K, not AMPM, not the little
Mini mark the Dino mart on the corner, only seven eleven.
So when I tell you the story about how police
are still searching for a driver who crashed into seven
eleven seemingly intentionally, not only is it not safe for
(25:03):
you to go to seven eleven because it might get
robbed while you're there, you might have a car crash
in to the actual MIDI mark.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
The begin news that I just talked to laped West traffic.
There was nobody injured, but look at the damage that
was done to this seat.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
There is no car here.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
LAPD West traffic sergeant tells me that the car backed
out and took off after crashing into seven eleven. The
fire department got here pretty quickly, pat because they're building
is actually right behind the seven eleven, so they did
not have to go very far at all, that is
the fire station, so LAFD members were able to come
out and very quickly assess the situation. Meanwhile, the seven
eleven has some significant damage. It's likely that Building and
Safety will come in try to make sure that the
(25:40):
structural integrity is okay. And now West Traffic Division will
have to find the driver. You certainly think the seven
eleven would have cameras. We'll try to get ahold of
that video.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, there's probably some sort of video that is forthcoming.
But I'm thinking if you're seven to eleven, it seems
like every story in the news is negative. Someone's getting
robbed of seven elevens getting looted, or you're having a
car careen into the store. Tell me the truth. Maybe
(26:14):
the last time you saw a seven eleven commercial?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I can't think of it.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I can't think of a time. Yeah, all I ever
see is a MPM. Yeah, those are the only ones.
And that's why it's too much good stuff. Yeah, that's
all too much good I mean, And maybe it's because
if you're seven eleven, why advertise, because they're always.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
In the news, always in the news.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Of course, not for anything good, but they're always in
the news. I gotta ask is there a seven eleven
equivalent in New Orleans or a seven eleven big in
New Orleans?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Carneesia. We do have a brother brothers the chicken. They
sell a chicken and yeah, and they but this gas
station as well, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Okay, yeah, seven eleven is usually stand alone, but they
also sometimes can be found at gas stations. But seven
eleven is real big out here for some reason. And
some of them sell gas. Yeah, yeah, they do, they do.
I just don't understand why. You know, people actually go
there because the food isn't good. You might get you no, no, Cardisian,
(27:30):
you have to turn on your mic.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
The hot dogs are really good and banacho.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
No, they're not good. They're not good. The pizza's not good.
It's been on that swirling plate for about four hours.
The hot dogs have been on that roller for three hours.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
There's flyes slaughter around. There's nothing protecting the hot dogs
from the elements. There's absolutely nothing. I don't know why
why people eat it now?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Tauala He says, he still goes to seven eleven, maybe
for the coffee or something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
He stops by seven eleven on a way to work.
I tell people, don't go to seven eleven. It's not safe.
Here's another example of it not being safe at seven eleven,
and people will still go.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
I'm afraid from my life at seven eleven. And we
do these stories all the time, and it is obviously,
like I'm telling the truth, it is dangerous if you
go to a seven eleven, but people don't want to
believe me.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
The good news is I just talked to LAPD West Traffic.
There was nobody injured. But look at the damage that
was done to the seven eleven store and as you
can see, Pat, there is no car here. LAPD West
Traffic sergeant tells me that the car backed out and
took off after crashing into seven eleven. The fire department
got here pretty quickly, Pat, because they're building is actually
right behind the seven eleven, so they did not have
to go very far at all. That is the fire station,
(28:42):
so LAFD members were able to come out and very
quickly assess the situation. Meanwhile, the seven eleven has some
significant damage. It's likely that Building and Safety will come
in try to make sure that the structural integrity is okay.
And now West Traffic Division will have to find the driver.
You certainly think the seven eleven would have cameras. We'll
try to get ahold of that video.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
And the YouTube.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Boattown chat Henry Uchiyama says seven eleven in Japan is
so awesome from what I can tell first, seven eleven
is all around the world.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Yeah, but it's like a whole other It is a
completely different world. I've seen a couple of videos and
they have like gourmet stuff at the japan ones.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I haven't been to the Japan once, but I've been
to the ones in South Korea. Wearing my South Korea
t shirt today.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I've been to South Korea, and I've been to the
ones in Mexico. The ones in South Korea are ten
times better than the ones in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
So I guess depending on the country, you know, some
are better than others.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But I would not go to any of them here
in America, like to all it does.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I had a stomach ache on my way to work
and that was the only product place I had to
stop and get a ginger real frosty gingerrell at the
seven eleven just down the street, just right down Hollywood Way.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Couldn't you just go to an AMPM instead, or go
to the Dino mart on the.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Corner d Well.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I did not want to make the turn to the
Dina Martin have to make all those crazy turns to
get out of there. I said, I'm gonna go over
to the seventh elevel because I was going to go
to CVS.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
That's the only reason I was over in that area.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
But I said, you know what, I'm gonna go to
the seventh level real quick because they have you know,
Canada dry ginger elles always frost to go. There wasn't
a single homeless person outside. There wasn't a suckle robber outside.
Uh No one inside was trying to sell me rat wings,
none of that. Okay, are these filthy hot dogs in
the Cardcia likes?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Those things look like they have fallen on the ground
all day. They may have. How do you know? You don't?
You don't go there for the first on the rollers?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Just if you watched them put it on the rollers,
that means just not ready to be eaten on. J
Solomon in the in the chat says, but the cherry
slurpy mo you can get cherry slurpees elsewhere.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Can't you slurpy? No, No, you can get but Lushy's
at AMPN.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
We only have flavors like Coca cola and cherry.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Yes, the cooking seven eleven has all types blueberry, pineapple, mango.
They have all types of crazy risk your life on
some blueberry. I have never been accosted. Well, i've been handled.
I've been panhandled, okay, but I typically walked by the
panhandle said hey. Especially when my kids were younger, I
(31:30):
would say, all my spare change is right there, man,
all my spare change right see those two kids.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
That's my spare change. Man, move it. I do remember it,
and I think it was the seven elevel.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
This was many years ago and I had much more
of a mouth on me than I do today. But
I was going into seven eleven and it was a
homeless guy outside. I remember because I got so mad
and he said, do you have like spare change? I said, no,
I'm the spare change. He said, brother, I can look
at you. I know you have something. First, I said, brother,
(32:02):
it's like I don't know you.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
He was all in your pocket.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I hate that, say stay out of my pockets, you know,
just because you think I may have something, it doesn't
mean that you're entitled to it.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I don't care if I have three dollars of quarters
in my pocket. It doesn't mean that you get a
piece of that.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
And I looked at him. I said, first, I said,
stay out of my pocket.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And if I choose to give you something, all I
need to hear from you is thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
That's it. That's it. We're not going to have a
discussion about what's in my pocket. Now. See.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
I've had someone ask me and said, hey, hey, you
got these spare change. I said, nah, man, I never
asked spare change. Well, can you can when you go in?
Can you bring me something out to eat? Like adding
to my tab? When I go in, I'm like, the
dirty nerve of you, panhandler, get out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
When I was in North Carolina, I can't remember what
it was, but it was kind of like a It
was a sandwich shopper sometimes and I was out there
for a family reunion and I see this young brother
walk up to me, and it's like, Okay, I know
what this is about, but I'm on guard because I
don't like people walking up to me. And he says,
my brother, I don't know you. It's always my brother.
(33:15):
Can you help me get something to eat?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Were you approached by Philip Michael Thomas from Miami Fighting. No,
it was more Huggy Bear. Okay, start using skin hutch
because he says, my brother. And at first I'm thinking,
not your brother, but I'll let you finish. He says,
can you help me get something to eat? And I said,
and I was in a decent mood, It's like, what
all right? What did you have in mind? And they're
(33:38):
like four places and he pointed to this expensive sandwich
shop across the way, and I said, that is what
you think that I'm going to buy for you. You need
to choose from the other side of the midu, you know.
And I said something to the fact of beggars can't
be choosers, you know, if you're asking me to do
(34:00):
something out of the goodness of my heart and I
don't even know you. You know, I couldn't fault him
for starting up here, you know, if he's going to
ask for food he wanted, like a gourmet sandwich. Were
you in front of like a convenience store already?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
No, it was if we were in Durham, North Carolina
and there were like a lot of spots.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
There's like a Panda Express.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
There are all sorts of bunch of eateies.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
It was an open air market area, and you know,
the homeless people were out.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
He chose like pictures. They knew what the food was.
Play yes, yeah, he's shot for the movie.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
And he said no.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I said, no, not there, because I know, like every
sandwich can be like sixteen dollars something ridiculous. I said, no,
we can go over here to this like it was
like this subway looking place and I get you like
a six or seven dollars sandwich or someone.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah, but you always start the negotiation high. That's a
good tactic. I applaud him here because then he knows
anything less. He says, okay, okay, okay, hey just give
me a slice. They just like all right, I'll get
you that.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah. Then it's a win. He would have done better
to not save my brother. Okay, quick.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Has it ever ever happened where someone is trying to
hit you up for some change and I ain't got
nothing this that thathing, and you come out with something
for them and you see them on a cell phone.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
No, that has not happened to me. Happened to happen.
Speaker 7 (35:16):
I kept I went into the seven eleven I was,
I got some chips and I got a drink for
this cat outside. I came out and he was standing
over by the side, and he had a cell phone
on and he was typing something in his cell phone.
I walked right by and with those snacks, I was like,
you blank and blank blank, How you got a cell
