Speaker 1 (00:23):
Later with Mo Kelly kf I AM six forty, iHeartRadio
app and also YouTube. I gotta tell you, I've already
had three work days by now three. Woke up around
four thirty this morning, and I think that was the
time that Mark Ronner was going to sleep.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
What time four thirty? Oh, no, that's early.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I woke up at four thirty because I said yesterday
I had to do this early morning hit over at
Spectrum News. So woke up at four thirty and I
spent an hour reviewing all the things for the government
shutdown on how it would impact California, getting myself ready
to handle a conversation on Spectrum News with Kelvin Washington.
Want to say thank you to Kelvin having me on.
(01:09):
The hit was at six point thirty, so I had
an hour to review, get in a shower, drive over there,
do about a six minute hit, and then come home
and then you just start the day. I tried to
go back to sleep, but I couldn't because once you
get up and you're actually thinking about the news, it
makes it real difficult to go back to sleep. So
I was up and I started working at about seven
(01:32):
am about on the show today and then I hadn't stopped.
And then you realize you run out of gas at
about three pm because you've been up since four point
thirty in the morning. And then I realized, this is
what I asked for doing radio and television. And the
reason I'm talking about this. Do you remember Mark, We
were having the conversation about gen Zers and how they
(01:54):
don't want to come into the office, they don't want
to work forty hours a week, they don't want to
have the same type of responsibility. And I was coming
down hard on gen Z and then I get this
hate mail from folks saying.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well, Mo, you only work from seven to ten pm.
You only work three.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Hours a day only when you're actually on the air.
That's the only time you're doing it. I wish it
were that simple.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I wish I wish I could walk in at six
fifty nine and just start talking about stuff, random stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yea, for hours, freestyling. Yeah, it does not work that way.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Also, I pity the fool who gets between you and
a TV camera.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You know what, TV is not my preference at all.
What are you talking about? You love TV?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, no, you're being facetious. You're really being facetious.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Ever, No, no, no, no, no, I do TV because it's a
part of media work that I do. I do not
prefer TV, if only because usually I'm talking about subjects
that I don't want to talk about.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm talking about subjects. If someone wants me to respond.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Look at you, all moisturized wearing your baseball shirt.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You love TV. Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I was really really playing it down today because I
was in a suit at six in the morning. So
you know, the last thing I'm gonna do is is
dress up for the radio show. No, but I prefer radio.
I love radio because it gives me the freedom and
of movement subjects like I could talk fourteen minutes about
speed Racer if I want to. I can talk about
(03:23):
the government shutdown. I can talk about movies, talk about
Wendy's like we're going to later on tonight, we'll talk
about the metrolink which hit this man. We'll talk about
North Korea and how they're looking for capitalism in women's breasts.
What this is a real story. I'm telling you, that's
for real. Oh, North Korea is checking. I should bump
that one up a little on the schedule.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It'll be at the top of the second hour. But
my point is that's the beauty of talk radio. I
have a little bit more autonomy.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But when you're doing TV, you told when to start talking,
you told when to stop talking. You have maybe six minutes,
and in the six minutes out controlling the questions, you're
being asked the questions and then you respond. It's not
the same thing. I appreciate it because it helps what
I do. It broadens my profile and visibility. And if
you missed my hit this morning, you can find it
(04:14):
at mister Mokelly. On Facebook, you can find it. I
put it on I put it everywhere. I put it
up on threads, at mister mo Kelly, whatever social media.
I didn't have a chance to upload it to YouTube,
but you'll be able to find it. But my point
is it allows me to do other things. Doing TV
increases my credibility, visibility, viability, all that. But I love
(04:38):
talking in a radio format I work, and you understand this,
I think better than anyone. That's part of the reason
why I brought you into the conversation. I work on
a twenty four hour schedule, meaning and people don't see this.
You saw this, like Mark on I think it was Thursday, Friday, Friday.
I was doing the BBC interview after the show here.
(05:00):
Oh yeah, in the studio, you know. Or I'll do
Spectrum News at six in the morning. It's a twenty
four hour schedule. You may write, you may get off
work here at midnight, and you may go home and
start writing until the sun comes up.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Oh writing, send myself, sending myself notes about stories, to work,
my work email, everything. Yeah, I'd never feel like I'm
off right, So it's different.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And I've worked in a nine to five environment. Hate it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
There's something good about a nine to five because you
can kind of compartmentalize.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You go to work at this time, you get off
at this time.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
True, but we're lucky enough to have the kind of
job that we don't feel like it's like throwing away
eight hours of our life. Then we go back to
our life. Oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And I used to work my first job, no, it's
maybe my second job coming out of college with the
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. That was a nine to five
and I had to wear a shirt and tie every day,
and I was miserable.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I've had both ends of the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
My first remote job was when I was working for
Ryan Seacrest producing for American Top forty, and this was
two thousand and teish, and so you had to train
yourself to be mature enough to be able to work
in a non office environment. This is a good seventeen
years before the pandemic and the whole idea of working remotely,
(06:23):
it was not a thing back then. So I've had
all sorts of jobs and work environments, and there's nothing
better than radio. Yes, the technology exists where I could
do this from home every day, but it doesn't have
the same energy. That's why you come into the studio
so I can see you Mark, I can see Twala.
We can have the video stim Ocash. You can watch
(06:44):
us right now at mister Mokelly on YouTube. It's a
completely different animal and I love it for that reason.
Can't do it like this like TV, for example, you
can have real time interaction with me the mo migos
and the motown chat. You can have direct interaction and
and spontaneous reaction with me on social media. You can't
really do that in TV. There are people who may
(07:05):
have seen the segment I did this morning, but it's
not like you can interact with us, so radio is
the best of all worlds.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It makes me less self conscious. I've done plenty of TV,
but I don't seek it out. And what I don't
like about TV is the amount of people fussing about you,
your face, your makeup, your hair, and everything about it
makes you self conscious before you get on.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Oh I'm glad you said that. This is how it
has changed before the pandemic. Like I was doing a
lot of hits for CNN. I go down to the
CNN bureau, which is on sunset in Hollywood. They had
full makeup and you have to get in the chair
that do makeup on you. And that was a pain
as pain in the ass, not because not only because
you're putting it on, it's hell to get off. It's
(07:50):
really difficult to get all that makeup off, and it's
a little bit off putting when I know as much
about makeup as my wife does. You know, I know
the color that in the products that.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
The US do.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're correct?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Shade, yes, Camel, I'm being serious one humper two anyhow.
But my point is, like you, Mark, I don't enjoy
the TV process. What change after the pandemic was that
for the most part. They don't do makeup anymore. Like
I didn't have to do makeup this morning. That was
part of the reason I could get in. I got
(08:23):
it this to the TV station around six' ten and
the hit was six. Thirty they don't do makeup with
the exceptional the host anymore one because they cut back
on the makeup. ARTISTS a lot of those jobs are
no longer there taking you behind the. Curtain and the
anchors and the hosts they do their own.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Makeup oh, really, yeah like.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Our secretary of war they, exactly and our, president you,
know and our vice.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
President did you get extra?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Eyeliner it all applies makeup as unisex, NOW i guess,
so so it's not just for the, girls as they.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
SAY i. GUESS i got to start jazzing things up in.
Here BUT tv.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Has really changed in regard of, course you can do it,
remotely you can do it from. Home there's not as
much makeup, involved but you, know there's nothing like. Radio
but on the show, tonight enough about, me we got
to talk about the, shutdown how it impacts you and Other.
Californians that's WHAT i talked about On Spectrum. News BUT
i want to share some of my remarks there here with,
(09:20):
you because you will feel the, shutdown whether it's only one,
day ten, days thirty, days you will feel. It you
will see. It and that's important because sometimes people think, that,
well it's In, WASHINGTON, dc it really doesn't have anything
to do with. Me it's not going to impact my.
Life don't be so. Sure and also we have the
(09:43):
viral load in our. Three Tiffany hobbs is going to join.
Us oh AND i almost. Forgot most, importantly AND i
do mean this. Sincerely most, importantly we have a family
four pack To disneyland Or Disney California adventure that we're
giving away. Tonight i'm not going to tell you WHEN
i don't know exactly when it's going to Be, twalla
it's going to walk in at some point and, Say,
(10:04):
mo it's time to give the tickets, away and THEN
i will give out the, numbers so it's not Like
i'm hoarding the.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Information we'll just.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Let you know sometime tonight when to call in for
The disney four. Pack it's later With Mo. Kelly we'll
talk more about to shut down when we come. BACK
KFI am six. Forty we're live on The iHeartRadio.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
App you're listening To later With Moe kelly on demand
FROM Kfi am six forty With.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Ya we're live everywhere in The iHeartRadio app and on.
YouTube sometimes people may forget or you may not even
know when it comes to federal. Employees sometimes we may, think, well, federal.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
That's, washington D.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
C that's two, different three different time zones, away some
twenty five hundred miles. Away that really doesn't have anything
to do With. California it won't Impact, california when actually
it's the exact. Opposite california has the most federal employees
of any state in The. Union i'm talking about anywhere
(11:16):
between one hundred and twenty five thousand and one hundred
and fifty. Thousand now that is Pre doge, numbers so
it may be less than, that but not considerably less than.
That AND i was saying WHEN i was On Spectrum
news earlier this, MORNING i mean like early this. Morning
AND i try to remind people throughout This, yes it's
the first day of the shutdown and it may end sometime,
(11:39):
soon but it likely will. Not and here's. Why because
there's no negotiation going. On there has to be a,
negotiation and there has to be a point in which
one side is either going to give in or is
willing to negotiate in good faith and make a. Compromise
and because of our, partisanship that's not likely to happen
(11:59):
in the short. Term meaning if you're willing to have this,
shutdown and both sides are willing to have this shutdown
for different, reasons but both sides wanted this shutdown to,
happen there has to be a willingness to pull. Back
and if you're willing to have the, shutdown you're not
immediately going to run from. It SO i expect number
one that this is going to last for a. While
(12:21):
what does a while? Mean a week to two weeks
at the very minimum. MINIMUM i would be surprised if
it ends relatively, quickly because both sides are first and
foremost interested in saving, face and you can't have a
two day shutdown and save face because negotiations haven't even,
Started so why would you have a shutdown and just
(12:42):
cave twenty four hours?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Later so that's not going to.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Happen but, sometimes being In, california you, think, well it's
not going to really impact you and.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
ME i work as a.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
TEACHER i work for the. STATE i don't have to
worry about anything that's going on with the federal. Government
that's really not. True and the longer the shutdown goes
on as A, californian the more likely you will see
or feel the impact of. It, like for, Example i'm
getting ready to go To. Miami i'm going to be
flying out tomorrow. Airports it may not be, tomorrow but
(13:16):
in the coming days you will see most likely FEWER tsa.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Agents those are federal.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Employees there may be some traffic controllers air traffic controllers
as the shutdown goes, on who will call in. Sick
in other, words they're not getting, paid so the only
way that they can get off work is to call
in sick.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Because they're still expected to show up to.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Work if you're an air, traveler you may notice FEWER tsa.
Agents if you're just a, flyer you may notice more
flights being canceled if there is a dearth of air traffic.
Controllers so that's how something that you and me here
(14:03):
In california may feel this government. Shutdown if you should
go to a national, park you will start to notice
this government. Shutdown as time goes on. Now the, parks
as we're, told will still be, open but the maintenance
of the, parks like the, restrooms the trash, cans the clean,
up the people who are working in the, park you
(14:24):
will not see a lot of those. Individuals so if
you want to go to a national, park you probably
will notice or feel the government. Shutdown and just in
case you didn't know of that one hundred and twenty
five to one hundred and fifty thousand federal employees that
we have here In, california most of them Are department
Of defense or A Veterans. Administration so if you happen
(14:49):
to be a, veteran some of your services may either
be slower in, delivery some of your access may be,
Limited like if you're there's a call center you're calling,
in you may not have as many. People it may
take longer to get things, done if only because there
are certain employees who will be. FURLOUGHED i can't give
(15:11):
you a specific, amount BUT i know that since we're
here In california and we have a high number of
federal employees and they're Specifically department Of defense And Veterans,
affairs then you would be more likely if you are a,
veteran you are more likely to feel it or experience
the effects of this government. Shutdown as far as what
(15:33):
we know about the Mail United States Postal, service we're being,
told AND i say we're being told because if a
government shut down should be extended in, nature let's say
more than a, month then you probably will have to
include the post office here where we're being told that
there won't be any interruption to mail. Service that doesn't
(15:53):
necessarily mean that it will not be hindered in some.
Way it doesn't mean that they will have the full
complement of employees and letter carriers throughout the. Shutdown it
does not mean that your packages will and letters will
be delivered as quickly as you're accustomed to when there's
just normal business and the government is fully. Operational and
(16:15):
that's just some of the things that you may see
and feel here In california, that even though we may
be thousands of miles away From, washington D. C and
the quote unquote federal, government you may feel. It let's,
say for, example that you were on a federal grand.
JURY i served on a federal grand jury for four,
(16:36):
months or you work in a federal, court so you
have federal business in a court that might be.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Impacted you might be.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Impacted the court schedule may be delayed if you're calling
it as a juror all of. That you may be
excused because there will be fewer employees for the federal
courts as time goes. On now you may not notice
it today or even On, monday but with each passing,
day it will become more apparent for, you as A
(17:05):
californian that the government shutdown will touch you in some.
Way and one other thing THAT i was asked WHEN
i was on, spectrums like who is going.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
To get the blame or who's going to win this?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Shutdown AND i will say this, again AND i said
it this. MORNING i think people are looking at this
the wrong. Way it's not about who gets the. Blame
that's what politicians. Do The republicans will blame The, democrats
and The democrats will blame The. Republicans my thing, is
regardless of however long this shutdown, lasts it is not
going to be determinative when it comes to the, midterms
(17:40):
because when you're talking about, blame you're thinking about how
voters will respond to. It given the blame air quotes
come the. Midterms midterms are thirteen months. Away anything that's
happening right now is not going to have any impact
on the. Midterms why because we're going to have five
hundred thousand in different emergencies and cataclysmic disasters between now and,
(18:05):
then which is either going to dwarf what is happening
right now or is going to make us forget about
what is happening right now no matter. What for, example
if the jobs report gets increasingly worse between now and the,
midterms that will have a much, more much more of an,
impact then the government shut. Down if inflation should increase
(18:27):
between now and, then that's going to have more of an,
impact then the government shut. Down and it doesn't matter
who you. Blame people are notoriously subject to recency. Bias
if if it's bad news more recently that's going to
wagh more, heavily then the government, shutdown which would have
then been thirteen months. Prior so although it may be
(18:51):
consuming the news right, now it is not going to
be anything which is going to determine what happens to the.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Midterms and this one last thing before we go to.
Break the midterms are About.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Congress it's not about the, president largely because there's not
a presidential election during the. Midterms, no the president's policies
may be on the, ballot but not the actual. President
so in other, words we know in non presidential elections
turnout is, down and we know that by and large
people Hate. Congress WHEN i say, hate it has the
(19:25):
lowest approval rating in. Decades but people also by and
large love their congress. Person Hate congress the, body love
their individual congress, person meaning that about seventy five to
eighty percent of incumbents usually will retain their seat during the,
midterms which means nothing happening right now will have much
(19:48):
of an impact on what happens. Then it's later With
MOKELLY kfim six. Forty we're live on YouTube and The iHeartRadio.
App come join us for the video simulcast on YouTube
at m OK E L L. Y on the other
side of the, break we'll talk about this metro link.
TRAIN i didn't say, METRO i said Metro link, train
which hits someone. Today we'll tell you what, happened why it,
(20:10):
happened and the end result.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
You're listening To later With Moe kelly on demand FROM
KFI am six.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Forty and this is something which happens fairly. Often WHEN
i say, often it's not an uncommon. Occurrence we usually
talk About, metro But metrolink is not completely disconnected From.
Metro let's say you go down To Union, station you
can get off A metro train and get on A
metrolink train which will take you out further In i'll
(20:41):
say Eastern Los Angeles. County Chris, little who used to
be our news, director he would ride The metrolink train
into work just about every. Day And metrolink is not Like,
metro but there is some. Overlap And metrolink was reporting
that a twenty five year old man is right now
(21:02):
in fair condition after being hit struck by A metrolink
train IN la this. Morning it happened around eight fifteen
near a railroad crossing on the one hundred and twenty
seven hundred block Of West Osborne street In. Pacoima as we're,
Told Metrolink training two hundred and three was traveling From Union,
(21:26):
station AS i was talking about To Santa, clarita when
the man was struck outside the pedestrian. AREA La Fire
department personnel responded and transported the man to a local
hospital AS i, said he's in fair. Condition there is
some video and pictures which are floating, around AND i
can't really glean much from. It it shows firefighter is treating,
(21:50):
him and ALL i can do is speak from personal
experience Riding. Metro i've been On metrolink a few times
when we go To Comic con and And, diego we
would take A metrolink, train and SO i kind of
know how it. Goes and it's really strange how often
you will find people either walking across the tracks or
(22:11):
driving in an unsafe manner across the tracks at a,
crossing and it always boggles my. Mind, NOW i don't
know why this man was near the, tracks on the,
tracks was in a place in which he could be.
STRUCK i do know that it's a relatively common, occurrence
AND i know That i've never in my. LIFE i
(22:33):
can't speak For, TWALA i can't speak For mark Or
tony who's running the board. TONIGHT i can say for
me THOUGH i have never walked across a train track
or a. Crossing i've never driven illegally across the. Track
you'd have to be.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Insane i've covered so many car train accidents and they
are very. Disturbing if you see one of, those that'll
cure you of wanting to take that risk. FOREVER i don't.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Think people understand one how quickly the train approaches it
can be very. Deceiving and two maybe they're thinking that
the train has the option of slowing down or. Stopping,
no it's going through, you whether your cars on the
track or whether you're standing on the.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Track there is no hope for it to slow down and.
Stop it's not like a. Car it's gotten dozens or more,
cars you, know cars behind. It you don't just stop
that on a. Dime it takes a.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
WHILE i see more THAN i would like to.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
SEE i see oftentimes cars either trying to beat the
arms coming down over the, track OR i will see
people who are parked way too. Close you, know you
stop the, light you have the gate arms which come,
down and people will get real close to the track
in front of the gate, arms not respecting that limit
(23:48):
line where it tells you to.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
STOP i don't understand. It it makes me, nervous it
makes me clench up seeing that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
STUFF i assume you just have a death wish like you,
have you, know suicide by train on your. Mind because
every single, time more times than, not that train is
going to take you, out.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Or somebody could bump you from. Behind, TRUE i forgot about.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That we saw the video of a woman who was
in a car who a guests got too close to
the tracks beyond the limit line and a car bumped
her from, behind pushed the car onto the.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Track she had to get out of a car let
her car get hit by the.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Train, yeah gotta be aware of your, surroundings just Like
batman was taught as a young.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Man or AS i said the other night about gas.
Stations it's all to, say but you, know there's something
that seems like it happens more In california than other.
PLACES i know it's, anecdotal BUT i don't see these
stories the type these types of stories in other locations
with the same amount of.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Frequency try to put it in. Perspective nothing that you're.
Doing if you're in, labor you have the time to
let the train.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Pass always you have the, time AND i know you
don't want to wait the extra five to ten minutes
if it's a. Law and WHEN i was living in
The Harbor, City torrents, area they have a lot of
tracks there and they're. Active in other, words you will
have a train come by just about every. Day Where
i'm living now In la there's a prominent train track
(25:13):
not far from my. House trains come by every single,
day and OFTENTIMES i will see people do really stupid
and dangerous stuff because they don't want to wait four
to five.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Minutes one of the last ONES i covered WHEN i
was a reporter In indiana was a young woman in
a car who thought she could beat one train but
didn't see there was also one coming from the other. Direction,
yeah And i'm not exaggerating this at. All she was
balled up in her, car the metal balled, up and
the conductor of the train just watched her turned into
(25:47):
raspberry jelly in this little metal ball that was formed
between the two. Trains it's one of the most horrifying
Things i've ever.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Seen when you are in driver's, training did they ever
show you this video called red?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Asphalt not only, that you can get those from an
outfit called Something weird video traffic safety scare, films and
those things are.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Hardcore they were hardcore in the nineteen.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Eighties, OKAY i can only imagine with the amount of
cameras and video floating around on social. Media, now what
a similar compilation would be, now, like.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Did you see the really gory, ones, yes like for
it with real life. Footage, yes that stuff is. Traumatized,
Yes and we had.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It as a part of drivers training to scare us, straight,
basically to let us know the reality of dangerous or
reckless driving how it usually ends. Up because this was
also at the beginning of the video game, era so
they wanted to make sure that we understood the difference
between reality and the fantasy of video. Games and they
showed what happened to cars crossing train tracks or high speed.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
ACCIDENTS i feel like there's A frogger analogy in here.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Somewhere it's.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Implied it's, implied but you, know it seems like we've
gotten away from. THAT i don't know if they still
teach that in driver's, education driver's. TRAINING i don't. Know
we had to, triggering we had to watch, it and
it was really it was gory and it was scary
in a way that you just didn't get in media back.
(27:16):
Then you're seeing actual death and, dismemberment blood, everywhere to
let you know that this is a likely possibility of
you driving.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Unsafely there's a little bit of tough.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
LOVE i still have the images of some of those
things THAT i saw THAT i won't even say on
the air because they're just DISGUSTING i can.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Only, imagine especially when you're covering it with any.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Consistency oh, yeah trust, me it will cure you of
being a thrill seeker in that respect at.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Least AND i did a lot of stupid things WHEN
i was driving in my early. Twenties not proud of,
it But i'm self. Aware we didn't play with trading
tracks ever for that.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Reason there's One i'll tell you off the air which
will make your jaw.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Drop, ooh.

Sweet, Okay, well the correct answer is either buffalo or
ranch slash blue.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Cheese please.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Lube wendy's previously offered chicken tenders back in tw thousand and,
seven twenty, seventeen and twenty, nineteen and now they're back
upgraded for twenty twenty. Five and if you have noticed
as part of a trend in fast Food McDonald's And
Taco bell they've made other similar menu Move so chicken
(32:51):
tenders might be the. New remember the chicken sandwich fight
they had about maybe five six years.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Ago, no it did a good, bloody was.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
It.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
No i'm saying all the fast food joints were hyping
their chicken sandwich or spicy chicken, sandwich from From popeyes
To chick Fil a to, McDonald's i mean just about
all of.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
THEM i Think Burger king used to have a really,
good like crunchy chicken.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Sandwich they, did they, did and it was like a
parmesan like chicken sandwich IF i remember.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Correctly you might be. Right it's been, years BUT i
used TO i used to get those kind of on the.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Regular, yeah but there was a big like chicken sandwich
war back in the, day and NOW i guess this
is gonna be chicken nuggets slash chicken tenders.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
War, well the nuggets disturbed me because we've all seen
the b roll of how they get, made and parts is.
PARTS i don't want to consume.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
PARTS i will say, THIS i don't like McDonald's chicken
nuggets for me. PERSONALLY i do Love chick Fil, as
chicken strips and, NUGGETS i really.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
DO i would like it to be identifiable as having
come from a, chicken as opposed to something extruded From.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Wait, wait are you telling me that when you eat
a hamburger it looks like it came from a? Cow?
Speaker 3 (34:02):

want to start, THIS i want to be starting Some
we'll do, This. Okay IF i six, forty well live
everywhere in our heart radio
Speaker 4 (34:17):
App damn it As TENDERS KOST hd, Two Los, Angeles
Orange county more stimulating talk
Later with Mo Kelly kf I AM six forty, iHeartRadio
app and also YouTube. I gotta tell you, I've already
had three work days by now three. Woke up around
four thirty this morning, and I think that was the
time that Mark Ronner was going to sleep.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
What time four thirty? Oh, no, that's early.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I woke up at four thirty because I said yesterday
I had to do this early morning hit over at
Spectrum News. So woke up at four thirty and I
spent an hour reviewing all the things for the government
shutdown on how it would impact California, getting myself ready
to handle a conversation on Spectrum News with Kelvin Washington.
Want to say thank you to Kelvin having me on.
(01:09):
The hit was at six point thirty, so I had
an hour to review, get in a shower, drive over there,
do about a six minute hit, and then come home
and then you just start the day. I tried to
go back to sleep, but I couldn't because once you
get up and you're actually thinking about the news, it
makes it real difficult to go back to sleep. So
I was up and I started working at about seven
(01:32):
am about on the show today and then I hadn't stopped.
And then you realize you run out of gas at
about three pm because you've been up since four point
thirty in the morning. And then I realized, this is
what I asked for doing radio and television. And the
reason I'm talking about this. Do you remember Mark, We
were having the conversation about gen Zers and how they
(01:54):
don't want to come into the office, they don't want
to work forty hours a week, they don't want to
have the same type of responsibility. And I was coming
down hard on gen Z and then I get this
hate mail from folks saying.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well, Mo, you only work from seven to ten pm.
You only work three.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Hours a day only when you're actually on the air.
That's the only time you're doing it. I wish it
were that simple.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I wish I wish I could walk in at six
fifty nine and just start talking about stuff, random stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yea, for hours, freestyling. Yeah, it does not work that way.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Also, I pity the fool who gets between you and
a TV camera.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You know what, TV is not my preference at all.
What are you talking about? You love TV?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, no, you're being facetious. You're really being facetious.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Ever, No, no, no, no, no, I do TV because it's a
part of media work that I do. I do not
prefer TV, if only because usually I'm talking about subjects
that I don't want to talk about.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm talking about subjects. If someone wants me to respond.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Look at you, all moisturized wearing your baseball shirt.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You love TV. Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I was really really playing it down today because I
was in a suit at six in the morning. So
you know, the last thing I'm gonna do is is
dress up for the radio show. No, but I prefer radio.
I love radio because it gives me the freedom and
of movement subjects like I could talk fourteen minutes about
speed Racer if I want to. I can talk about
(03:23):
the government shutdown. I can talk about movies, talk about
Wendy's like we're going to later on tonight, we'll talk
about the metrolink which hit this man. We'll talk about
North Korea and how they're looking for capitalism in women's breasts.
What this is a real story. I'm telling you, that's
for real. Oh, North Korea is checking. I should bump
that one up a little on the schedule.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It'll be at the top of the second hour. But
my point is that's the beauty of talk radio. I
have a little bit more autonomy.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But when you're doing TV, you told when to start talking,
you told when to stop talking. You have maybe six minutes,
and in the six minutes out controlling the questions, you're
being asked the questions and then you respond. It's not
the same thing. I appreciate it because it helps what
I do. It broadens my profile and visibility. And if
you missed my hit this morning, you can find it
(04:14):
at mister Mokelly. On Facebook, you can find it. I
put it on I put it everywhere. I put it
up on threads, at mister mo Kelly, whatever social media.
I didn't have a chance to upload it to YouTube,
but you'll be able to find it. But my point
is it allows me to do other things. Doing TV
increases my credibility, visibility, viability, all that. But I love
(04:38):
talking in a radio format I work, and you understand this,
I think better than anyone. That's part of the reason
why I brought you into the conversation. I work on
a twenty four hour schedule, meaning and people don't see this.
You saw this, like Mark on I think it was Thursday, Friday, Friday.
I was doing the BBC interview after the show here.
(05:00):
Oh yeah, in the studio, you know. Or I'll do
Spectrum News at six in the morning. It's a twenty
four hour schedule. You may write, you may get off
work here at midnight, and you may go home and
start writing until the sun comes up.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Oh writing, send myself, sending myself notes about stories, to work,
my work email, everything. Yeah, I'd never feel like I'm
off right, So it's different.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And I've worked in a nine to five environment. Hate it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
There's something good about a nine to five because you
can kind of compartmentalize.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You go to work at this time, you get off
at this time.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
True, but we're lucky enough to have the kind of
job that we don't feel like it's like throwing away
eight hours of our life. Then we go back to
our life. Oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And I used to work my first job, no, it's
maybe my second job coming out of college with the
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. That was a nine to five
and I had to wear a shirt and tie every day,
and I was miserable.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I've had both ends of the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
My first remote job was when I was working for
Ryan Seacrest producing for American Top forty, and this was
two thousand and teish, and so you had to train
yourself to be mature enough to be able to work
in a non office environment. This is a good seventeen
years before the pandemic and the whole idea of working remotely,
(06:23):
it was not a thing back then. So I've had
all sorts of jobs and work environments, and there's nothing
better than radio. Yes, the technology exists where I could
do this from home every day, but it doesn't have
the same energy. That's why you come into the studio
so I can see you Mark, I can see Twala.
We can have the video stim Ocash. You can watch
(06:44):
us right now at mister Mokelly on YouTube. It's a
completely different animal and I love it for that reason.
Can't do it like this like TV, for example, you
can have real time interaction with me the mo migos
and the motown chat. You can have direct interaction and
and spontaneous reaction with me on social media. You can't
really do that in TV. There are people who may
(07:05):
have seen the segment I did this morning, but it's
not like you can interact with us, so radio is
the best of all worlds.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It makes me less self conscious. I've done plenty of TV,
but I don't seek it out. And what I don't
like about TV is the amount of people fussing about you,
your face, your makeup, your hair, and everything about it
makes you self conscious before you get on.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Oh I'm glad you said that. This is how it
has changed before the pandemic. Like I was doing a
lot of hits for CNN. I go down to the
CNN bureau, which is on sunset in Hollywood. They had
full makeup and you have to get in the chair
that do makeup on you. And that was a pain
as pain in the ass, not because not only because
you're putting it on, it's hell to get off. It's
(07:50):
really difficult to get all that makeup off, and it's
a little bit off putting when I know as much
about makeup as my wife does. You know, I know
the color that in the products that.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
The US do.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're correct?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Shade, yes, Camel, I'm being serious one humper two anyhow.
But my point is, like you, Mark, I don't enjoy
the TV process. What change after the pandemic was that
for the most part. They don't do makeup anymore. Like
I didn't have to do makeup this morning. That was
part of the reason I could get in. I got
(08:23):
it this to the TV station around six' ten and
the hit was six. Thirty they don't do makeup with
the exceptional the host anymore one because they cut back
on the makeup. ARTISTS a lot of those jobs are
no longer there taking you behind the. Curtain and the
anchors and the hosts they do their own.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Makeup oh, really, yeah like.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Our secretary of war they, exactly and our, president you,
know and our vice.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
President did you get extra?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Eyeliner it all applies makeup as unisex, NOW i guess,
so so it's not just for the, girls as they.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
SAY i. GUESS i got to start jazzing things up in.
Here BUT tv.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Has really changed in regard of, course you can do it,
remotely you can do it from. Home there's not as
much makeup, involved but you, know there's nothing like. Radio
but on the show, tonight enough about, me we got
to talk about the, shutdown how it impacts you and Other.
Californians that's WHAT i talked about On Spectrum. News BUT
i want to share some of my remarks there here with,
(09:20):
you because you will feel the, shutdown whether it's only one,
day ten, days thirty, days you will feel. It you
will see. It and that's important because sometimes people think, that,
well it's In, WASHINGTON, dc it really doesn't have anything
to do with. Me it's not going to impact my.
Life don't be so. Sure and also we have the
(09:43):
viral load in our. Three Tiffany hobbs is going to join.
Us oh AND i almost. Forgot most, importantly AND i
do mean this. Sincerely most, importantly we have a family
four pack To disneyland Or Disney California adventure that we're
giving away. Tonight i'm not going to tell you WHEN
i don't know exactly when it's going to Be, twalla
it's going to walk in at some point and, Say,
(10:04):
mo it's time to give the tickets, away and THEN
i will give out the, numbers so it's not Like
i'm hoarding the.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Information we'll just.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Let you know sometime tonight when to call in for
The disney four. Pack it's later With Mo. Kelly we'll
talk more about to shut down when we come. BACK
KFI am six. Forty we're live on The iHeartRadio.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
App you're listening To later With Moe kelly on demand
FROM Kfi am six forty With.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Ya we're live everywhere in The iHeartRadio app and on.
YouTube sometimes people may forget or you may not even
know when it comes to federal. Employees sometimes we may, think, well, federal.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
That's, washington D.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
C that's two, different three different time zones, away some
twenty five hundred miles. Away that really doesn't have anything
to do With. California it won't Impact, california when actually
it's the exact. Opposite california has the most federal employees
of any state in The. Union i'm talking about anywhere
(11:16):
between one hundred and twenty five thousand and one hundred
and fifty. Thousand now that is Pre doge, numbers so
it may be less than, that but not considerably less than.
That AND i was saying WHEN i was On Spectrum
news earlier this, MORNING i mean like early this. Morning
AND i try to remind people throughout This, yes it's
the first day of the shutdown and it may end sometime,
(11:39):
soon but it likely will. Not and here's. Why because
there's no negotiation going. On there has to be a,
negotiation and there has to be a point in which
one side is either going to give in or is
willing to negotiate in good faith and make a. Compromise
and because of our, partisanship that's not likely to happen
(11:59):
in the short. Term meaning if you're willing to have this,
shutdown and both sides are willing to have this shutdown
for different, reasons but both sides wanted this shutdown to,
happen there has to be a willingness to pull. Back
and if you're willing to have the, shutdown you're not
immediately going to run from. It SO i expect number
one that this is going to last for a. While
(12:21):
what does a while? Mean a week to two weeks
at the very minimum. MINIMUM i would be surprised if
it ends relatively, quickly because both sides are first and
foremost interested in saving, face and you can't have a
two day shutdown and save face because negotiations haven't even,
Started so why would you have a shutdown and just
(12:42):
cave twenty four hours?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Later so that's not going to.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Happen but, sometimes being In, california you, think, well it's
not going to really impact you and.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
ME i work as a.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
TEACHER i work for the. STATE i don't have to
worry about anything that's going on with the federal. Government
that's really not. True and the longer the shutdown goes
on as A, californian the more likely you will see
or feel the impact of. It, like for, Example i'm
getting ready to go To. Miami i'm going to be
flying out tomorrow. Airports it may not be, tomorrow but
(13:16):
in the coming days you will see most likely FEWER tsa.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Agents those are federal.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Employees there may be some traffic controllers air traffic controllers
as the shutdown goes, on who will call in. Sick
in other, words they're not getting, paid so the only
way that they can get off work is to call
in sick.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Because they're still expected to show up to.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Work if you're an air, traveler you may notice FEWER tsa.
Agents if you're just a, flyer you may notice more
flights being canceled if there is a dearth of air traffic.
Controllers so that's how something that you and me here
(14:03):
In california may feel this government. Shutdown if you should
go to a national, park you will start to notice
this government. Shutdown as time goes on. Now the, parks
as we're, told will still be, open but the maintenance
of the, parks like the, restrooms the trash, cans the clean,
up the people who are working in the, park you
(14:24):
will not see a lot of those. Individuals so if
you want to go to a national, park you probably
will notice or feel the government. Shutdown and just in
case you didn't know of that one hundred and twenty
five to one hundred and fifty thousand federal employees that
we have here In, california most of them Are department
Of defense or A Veterans. Administration so if you happen
(14:49):
to be a, veteran some of your services may either
be slower in, delivery some of your access may be,
Limited like if you're there's a call center you're calling,
in you may not have as many. People it may
take longer to get things, done if only because there
are certain employees who will be. FURLOUGHED i can't give
(15:11):
you a specific, amount BUT i know that since we're
here In california and we have a high number of
federal employees and they're Specifically department Of defense And Veterans,
affairs then you would be more likely if you are a,
veteran you are more likely to feel it or experience
the effects of this government. Shutdown as far as what
(15:33):
we know about the Mail United States Postal, service we're being,
told AND i say we're being told because if a
government shut down should be extended in, nature let's say
more than a, month then you probably will have to
include the post office here where we're being told that
there won't be any interruption to mail. Service that doesn't
(15:53):
necessarily mean that it will not be hindered in some.
Way it doesn't mean that they will have the full
complement of employees and letter carriers throughout the. Shutdown it
does not mean that your packages will and letters will
be delivered as quickly as you're accustomed to when there's
just normal business and the government is fully. Operational and
(16:15):
that's just some of the things that you may see
and feel here In california, that even though we may
be thousands of miles away From, washington D. C and
the quote unquote federal, government you may feel. It let's,
say for, example that you were on a federal grand.
JURY i served on a federal grand jury for four,
(16:36):
months or you work in a federal, court so you
have federal business in a court that might be.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Impacted you might be.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Impacted the court schedule may be delayed if you're calling
it as a juror all of. That you may be
excused because there will be fewer employees for the federal
courts as time goes. On now you may not notice
it today or even On, monday but with each passing,
day it will become more apparent for, you as A
(17:05):
californian that the government shutdown will touch you in some.
Way and one other thing THAT i was asked WHEN
i was on, spectrums like who is going.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
To get the blame or who's going to win this?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Shutdown AND i will say this, again AND i said
it this. MORNING i think people are looking at this
the wrong. Way it's not about who gets the. Blame
that's what politicians. Do The republicans will blame The, democrats
and The democrats will blame The. Republicans my thing, is
regardless of however long this shutdown, lasts it is not
going to be determinative when it comes to the, midterms
(17:40):
because when you're talking about, blame you're thinking about how
voters will respond to. It given the blame air quotes
come the. Midterms midterms are thirteen months. Away anything that's
happening right now is not going to have any impact
on the. Midterms why because we're going to have five
hundred thousand in different emergencies and cataclysmic disasters between now and,
(18:05):
then which is either going to dwarf what is happening
right now or is going to make us forget about
what is happening right now no matter. What for, example
if the jobs report gets increasingly worse between now and the,
midterms that will have a much, more much more of an,
impact then the government shut. Down if inflation should increase
(18:27):
between now and, then that's going to have more of an,
impact then the government shut. Down and it doesn't matter
who you. Blame people are notoriously subject to recency. Bias
if if it's bad news more recently that's going to
wagh more, heavily then the government, shutdown which would have
then been thirteen months. Prior so although it may be
(18:51):
consuming the news right, now it is not going to
be anything which is going to determine what happens to the.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Midterms and this one last thing before we go to.
Break the midterms are About.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Congress it's not about the, president largely because there's not
a presidential election during the. Midterms, no the president's policies
may be on the, ballot but not the actual. President
so in other, words we know in non presidential elections
turnout is, down and we know that by and large
people Hate. Congress WHEN i say, hate it has the
(19:25):
lowest approval rating in. Decades but people also by and
large love their congress. Person Hate congress the, body love
their individual congress, person meaning that about seventy five to
eighty percent of incumbents usually will retain their seat during the,
midterms which means nothing happening right now will have much
(19:48):
of an impact on what happens. Then it's later With
MOKELLY kfim six. Forty we're live on YouTube and The iHeartRadio.
App come join us for the video simulcast on YouTube
at m OK E L L. Y on the other
side of the, break we'll talk about this metro link.
TRAIN i didn't say, METRO i said Metro link, train
which hits someone. Today we'll tell you what, happened why it,
(20:10):
happened and the end result.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
You're listening To later With Moe kelly on demand FROM
KFI am six.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Forty and this is something which happens fairly. Often WHEN
i say, often it's not an uncommon. Occurrence we usually
talk About, metro But metrolink is not completely disconnected From.
Metro let's say you go down To Union, station you
can get off A metro train and get on A
metrolink train which will take you out further In i'll
(20:41):
say Eastern Los Angeles. County Chris, little who used to
be our news, director he would ride The metrolink train
into work just about every. Day And metrolink is not Like,
metro but there is some. Overlap And metrolink was reporting
that a twenty five year old man is right now
(21:02):
in fair condition after being hit struck by A metrolink
train IN la this. Morning it happened around eight fifteen
near a railroad crossing on the one hundred and twenty
seven hundred block Of West Osborne street In. Pacoima as we're,
Told Metrolink training two hundred and three was traveling From Union,
(21:26):
station AS i was talking about To Santa, clarita when
the man was struck outside the pedestrian. AREA La Fire
department personnel responded and transported the man to a local
hospital AS i, said he's in fair. Condition there is
some video and pictures which are floating, around AND i
can't really glean much from. It it shows firefighter is treating,
(21:50):
him and ALL i can do is speak from personal
experience Riding. Metro i've been On metrolink a few times
when we go To Comic con and And, diego we
would take A metrolink, train and SO i kind of
know how it. Goes and it's really strange how often
you will find people either walking across the tracks or
(22:11):
driving in an unsafe manner across the tracks at a,
crossing and it always boggles my. Mind, NOW i don't
know why this man was near the, tracks on the,
tracks was in a place in which he could be.
STRUCK i do know that it's a relatively common, occurrence
AND i know That i've never in my. LIFE i
(22:33):
can't speak For, TWALA i can't speak For mark Or
tony who's running the board. TONIGHT i can say for
me THOUGH i have never walked across a train track
or a. Crossing i've never driven illegally across the. Track
you'd have to be.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Insane i've covered so many car train accidents and they
are very. Disturbing if you see one of, those that'll
cure you of wanting to take that risk. FOREVER i don't.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Think people understand one how quickly the train approaches it
can be very. Deceiving and two maybe they're thinking that
the train has the option of slowing down or. Stopping,
no it's going through, you whether your cars on the
track or whether you're standing on the.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Track there is no hope for it to slow down and.
Stop it's not like a. Car it's gotten dozens or more,
cars you, know cars behind. It you don't just stop
that on a. Dime it takes a.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
WHILE i see more THAN i would like to.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
SEE i see oftentimes cars either trying to beat the
arms coming down over the, track OR i will see
people who are parked way too. Close you, know you
stop the, light you have the gate arms which come,
down and people will get real close to the track
in front of the gate, arms not respecting that limit
(23:48):
line where it tells you to.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
STOP i don't understand. It it makes me, nervous it
makes me clench up seeing that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
STUFF i assume you just have a death wish like you,
have you, know suicide by train on your. Mind because
every single, time more times than, not that train is
going to take you, out.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Or somebody could bump you from. Behind, TRUE i forgot about.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That we saw the video of a woman who was
in a car who a guests got too close to
the tracks beyond the limit line and a car bumped
her from, behind pushed the car onto the.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Track she had to get out of a car let
her car get hit by the.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Train, yeah gotta be aware of your, surroundings just Like
batman was taught as a young.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Man or AS i said the other night about gas.
Stations it's all to, say but you, know there's something
that seems like it happens more In california than other.
PLACES i know it's, anecdotal BUT i don't see these
stories the type these types of stories in other locations
with the same amount of.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Frequency try to put it in. Perspective nothing that you're.
Doing if you're in, labor you have the time to
let the train.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Pass always you have the, time AND i know you
don't want to wait the extra five to ten minutes
if it's a. Law and WHEN i was living in
The Harbor, City torrents, area they have a lot of
tracks there and they're. Active in other, words you will
have a train come by just about every. Day Where
i'm living now In la there's a prominent train track
(25:13):
not far from my. House trains come by every single,
day and OFTENTIMES i will see people do really stupid
and dangerous stuff because they don't want to wait four
to five.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Minutes one of the last ONES i covered WHEN i
was a reporter In indiana was a young woman in
a car who thought she could beat one train but
didn't see there was also one coming from the other. Direction,
yeah And i'm not exaggerating this at. All she was
balled up in her, car the metal balled, up and
the conductor of the train just watched her turned into
(25:47):
raspberry jelly in this little metal ball that was formed
between the two. Trains it's one of the most horrifying
Things i've ever.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Seen when you are in driver's, training did they ever
show you this video called red?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Asphalt not only, that you can get those from an
outfit called Something weird video traffic safety scare, films and
those things are.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Hardcore they were hardcore in the nineteen.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Eighties, OKAY i can only imagine with the amount of
cameras and video floating around on social. Media, now what
a similar compilation would be, now, like.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Did you see the really gory, ones, yes like for
it with real life. Footage, yes that stuff is. Traumatized,
Yes and we had.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It as a part of drivers training to scare us, straight,
basically to let us know the reality of dangerous or
reckless driving how it usually ends. Up because this was
also at the beginning of the video game, era so
they wanted to make sure that we understood the difference
between reality and the fantasy of video. Games and they
showed what happened to cars crossing train tracks or high speed.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
ACCIDENTS i feel like there's A frogger analogy in here.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Somewhere it's.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Implied it's, implied but you, know it seems like we've
gotten away from. THAT i don't know if they still
teach that in driver's, education driver's. TRAINING i don't. Know
we had to, triggering we had to watch, it and
it was really it was gory and it was scary
in a way that you just didn't get in media back.
(27:16):
Then you're seeing actual death and, dismemberment blood, everywhere to
let you know that this is a likely possibility of
you driving.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Unsafely there's a little bit of tough.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
LOVE i still have the images of some of those
things THAT i saw THAT i won't even say on
the air because they're just DISGUSTING i can.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Only, imagine especially when you're covering it with any.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Consistency oh, yeah trust, me it will cure you of
being a thrill seeker in that respect at.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Least AND i did a lot of stupid things WHEN
i was driving in my early. Twenties not proud of,
it But i'm self. Aware we didn't play with trading
tracks ever for that.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Reason there's One i'll tell you off the air which
will make your jaw.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Drop, ooh.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
You're not gonna be able to focus on anything for

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
