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 the 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 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 don't
(01:55):
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. I wish I.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Wish I could walk in at six fifty nine and
just start talking about stuff, random stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, just for hours, freestyling. Yeah, it does not work
that way. Also, I pity the fool who gets between
you and a TV camera. You know what, TV is
not my preference at all.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
What are you talking about? You love TV?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, no, you're being facetious. You're really being facetious. Ever, 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. I'm talking about subjects as someone wants
me to respond. Look at you, all moisturized wearing your
(02:58):
baseball shirt.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I can talk about the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
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 want to bump that one
up a little on the schedule. It'll be at the
(03:45):
top of the second hour. But my point is that's
the beauty of talk radio. I have a little bit
more autonomy. 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, you're
not controlling the questions. You're being asked the questions and
then you respond. It's not the same thing. I appreciate
(04:06):
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 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 O'Kelly, whatever
social media. I didn't have a chance to upload it
to YouTube, but you'll be able to find it. But
(04:27):
my point is it allows me to do other things.
Doing TV increases my credibility, visibility, viability, all that. But
I love 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.
(04:48):
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. Oh yeah, in
the studio, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Or I'll do Spectrum News at six in the morning.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
It's a twenty four hour schedule.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
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 (05:15):
Oh writing, send myself, sending myself notes about stories, to work,
my work email, everything.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I never feel like i'm off right, So it's different.
And I've worked in a nine to five environment.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
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. I've had both ends of the
spectrum My first remote job was when I was working
for Ryan Seacrest producing for American Top forty, and this
(06:09):
was two thousand and teish, and 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.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It was not a thing back then.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
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 us right now at mister Mokelly on YouTube.
(06:46):
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.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You can't really do that in TV.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
There are people who may have seen the segment I
did this morning, but it's not like you can interact
with us.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So radio is the best of all worlds. 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. You had
full makeup and you have to get in the chair
that do makeup on you. And that was a pain
on the ass. Pain in the ass, not because not
only because you're putting it on. It's hell to get off.
(07:50):
It's 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 the U
do you know? You're correct? Shade, yes, Camel. I'm being
serious one humper two anyhow. But my point is, like you, Mark,
(08:11):
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 it this to the TV station around six'
ten and the hit was six. Thirty they don't do
makeup with the exceptional of the host anymore one because
they cut back on the makeup. ARTISTS a lot of
(08:33):
those jobs are no longer there taking you behind the.
Curtain and the anchors and the hosts they do their own.
Makeup oh, really, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Like our secretary of war they, exactly and our, president you,
know and our vice.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
President did you get extra? Eyeliner it all.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Applies makeup is 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.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Here BUT tv has really changed 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 you because you will feel the,
(09:22):
shutdown whether it's only one, day ten, days thirty, days
you will feel.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It you will see.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It and that's important because sometimes people think, that, well
it's In, washington D. C 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
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
(09:52):
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. Twelve
it's going to walk in at some point and, Say,
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. Information we'll just let you know sometime
tonight when to call in for The disney four. Pack
(10:16):
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 Mo kelly on demand
FROM KFI am six forty With.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Kelly, Okay we're live everywhere in The iHeartRadio app and on.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
YouTube sometimes people may forget or you may not even
know when it comes to federal. Employees sometimes we may, think, well,
federal That's, washington D. 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,
(11:05):
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 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
(11:28):
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, soon but it likely will.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Not and here's. Why because there's no negotiation going.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
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 in short. Term meaning
if you're willing to have this, shutdown and both sides
(12:04):
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 what does a while? Mean
a week to two weeks at the very minimum. MINIMUM
(12:25):
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 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. Me i'd work
as a, 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
(13:05):
see or feel the impact of. It, like for, Example
i'm getting ready to go To. Miami i'm gonna be
flying out tomorrow. Airports it may not be, tomorrow but
in the coming days you will see most likely FEWER
tsa Agents those are federal. Employees there may be some
(13:26):
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 because they're still expected
to show up to. Work if you're an air, traveler
you may notice FEWER tsa. Agents if you're just a,
(13:50):
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 In california may feel
this government. Shutdown if you should go to a national,
park you will start to notice this government shutdown as
(14:14):
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, cleanup the people who are
working in the, park you 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
(14:35):
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 to be a, veteran some of
your services may either be slower in, delivery some of
(14:57):
your access may be, limited like if you're if 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 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
(15:19):
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 we know about the mail
The United States Postal, service we're being, told AND i
say we're being told because if a government shut down
(15:41):
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 necessarily mean that
it will not be hindered in some. Way it doesn't
mean that they will have the full complement of employees
(16:02):
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 that's just some
of the things that you may see and feel here
In california that even though we may be thousands of
(16:24):
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 months or you work
in a federal, court so you have federal business in
a court that might be. Impacted you might be, impacted
(16:45):
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 californian
(17:07):
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 to get the
blame or who's going to win this? 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 to. Blame that's what politicians.
(17:27):
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 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
(17:51):
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, 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
(18:14):
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 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
(18:38):
if if it's bad news more recently that's going to
weigh more, heavily then the government, shutdown which would have
then been thirteen months. Prior so although it may be
consuming the news right, now it is not going to
be anything which is going to determine what happens to the.
Midterms and this one last thing before we go to
(19:00):
break the midterms are About. Congress it's not about the,
president largely because there's not a presidential election during the. Midterms,
now 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
(19:21):
that by and large people Hate.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Congress WHEN i say, hate it has the lowest approval
rating in.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
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 of an impact
(19:49):
on what. Happens. Then it's later with Mo KELLY kfim six.
Forty we're live on YouTube and The iHeartRadio. App come
join us for the video simulcast on. YouTube A kelly
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 you're.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
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 twin twenty five year old man is right
(21:02):
now 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
(21:25):
traveling From Union, 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
(21:45):
AND i can't really glean much from. It it shows
firefighter is treating, 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 In San.
Diego we would take a Metro link, train and SO
i kind of know how it. Goes and it's really
(22:06):
strange how often you will find people either walking across
the tracks or 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
(22:27):
relatively common, occurrence AND i know That i've never in my.
LIFE i 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.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
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.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
FOREVER i don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
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. 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 2 (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.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Out 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 3 (24:20):
Track she had to get out of a car let
her car get hit by the. Train, yeah gotta be
aware of your, surroundings just Like batman was taught as
a young. Man or AS i said the other night
about gas. Stations it's all to, say.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
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. Train 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
When i'm living now in la there's a prominent train
(25:13):
track 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.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Direction, yeah And i'm not exaggerating this at.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
All she was balled up in her, car the metal balled,
up and the conductor of the train just watched her
turned into 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 were 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. Eighties.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
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.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Like did you see the really gory, ones, yes like
for it with real life. Footage, yes that stuff is.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Traumatized, Yes and we had it as a part of
driver's 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
(26:48):
cars crossing train tracks or high speed.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
ACCIDENTS i feel like there's A frogger analogy in here.
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.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Can 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. Reason there's One i'll tell you
off the air which will make your jaw.
Speaker 2 (27:58):

anything for the rest of the.

Sweet, Okay, well the correct answer is either buffalo or
ranch slash blue.
Speaker 1 (29:31):

Lube wendy's previously offered chicken tenders back in two 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 tenders
(32:51):
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 2 (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, Correctly you might be.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
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.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
PARTS i don't want to consume. PARTS i will say,
THIS i don't like McDonald's chicken nuggets for me. PERSONALLY

i really.
Speaker 3 (33:50):

come from a, chicken as opposed to something extruded from a.

IF i forty well live everywhere in our heart radio
app damn it a kick and tenders
Speaker 4 (34:21):
To KOs T 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 the 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 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 don't
(01:55):
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. I wish I.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Wish I could walk in at six fifty nine and
just start talking about stuff, random stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, just for hours, freestyling. Yeah, it does not work
that way. Also, I pity the fool who gets between
you and a TV camera. You know what, TV is
not my preference at all.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
What are you talking about? You love TV?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, no, you're being facetious. You're really being facetious. Ever, 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. I'm talking about subjects as someone wants
me to respond. Look at you, all moisturized wearing your
(02:58):
baseball shirt.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I can talk about the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
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 want to bump that one
up a little on the schedule. It'll be at the
(03:45):
top of the second hour. But my point is that's
the beauty of talk radio. I have a little bit
more autonomy. 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, you're
not controlling the questions. You're being asked the questions and
then you respond. It's not the same thing. I appreciate
(04:06):
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 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 O'Kelly, whatever
social media. I didn't have a chance to upload it
to YouTube, but you'll be able to find it. But
(04:27):
my point is it allows me to do other things.
Doing TV increases my credibility, visibility, viability, all that. But
I love 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.
(04:48):
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. Oh yeah, in
the studio, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Or I'll do Spectrum News at six in the morning.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
It's a twenty four hour schedule.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
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 (05:15):
Oh writing, send myself, sending myself notes about stories, to work,
my work email, everything.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I never feel like i'm off right, So it's different.
And I've worked in a nine to five environment.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
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. I've had both ends of the
spectrum My first remote job was when I was working
for Ryan Seacrest producing for American Top forty, and this
(06:09):
was two thousand and teish, and 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.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It was not a thing back then.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
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 us right now at mister Mokelly on YouTube.
(06:46):
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.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You can't really do that in TV.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
There are people who may have seen the segment I
did this morning, but it's not like you can interact
with us.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So radio is the best of all worlds. 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. You had
full makeup and you have to get in the chair
that do makeup on you. And that was a pain
on the ass. Pain in the ass, not because not
only because you're putting it on. It's hell to get off.
(07:50):
It's 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 the U
do you know? You're correct? Shade, yes, Camel. I'm being
serious one humper two anyhow. But my point is, like you, Mark,
(08:11):
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 it this to the TV station around six'
ten and the hit was six. Thirty they don't do
makeup with the exceptional of the host anymore one because
they cut back on the makeup. ARTISTS a lot of
(08:33):
those jobs are no longer there taking you behind the.
Curtain and the anchors and the hosts they do their own.
Makeup oh, really, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Like our secretary of war they, exactly and our, president you,
know and our vice.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
President did you get extra? Eyeliner it all.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Applies makeup is 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.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Here BUT tv has really changed 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 you because you will feel the,
(09:22):
shutdown whether it's only one, day ten, days thirty, days
you will feel.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It you will see.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It and that's important because sometimes people think, that, well
it's In, washington D. C 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
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
(09:52):
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. Twelve
it's going to walk in at some point and, Say,
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. Information we'll just let you know sometime
tonight when to call in for The disney four. Pack
(10:16):
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 Mo kelly on demand
FROM KFI am six forty With.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Kelly, Okay we're live everywhere in The iHeartRadio app and on.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
YouTube sometimes people may forget or you may not even
know when it comes to federal. Employees sometimes we may, think, well,
federal That's, washington D. 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,
(11:05):
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 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
(11:28):
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, soon but it likely will.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Not and here's. Why because there's no negotiation going.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
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 in short. Term meaning
if you're willing to have this, shutdown and both sides
(12:04):
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 what does a while? Mean
a week to two weeks at the very minimum. MINIMUM
(12:25):
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 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. Me i'd work
as a, 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
(13:05):
see or feel the impact of. It, like for, Example
i'm getting ready to go To. Miami i'm gonna be
flying out tomorrow. Airports it may not be, tomorrow but
in the coming days you will see most likely FEWER
tsa Agents those are federal. Employees there may be some
(13:26):
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 because they're still expected
to show up to. Work if you're an air, traveler
you may notice FEWER tsa. Agents if you're just a,
(13:50):
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 In california may feel
this government. Shutdown if you should go to a national,
park you will start to notice this government shutdown as
(14:14):
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, cleanup the people who are
working in the, park you 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
(14:35):
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 to be a, veteran some of
your services may either be slower in, delivery some of
(14:57):
your access may be, limited like if you're if 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 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
(15:19):
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 we know about the mail
The United States Postal, service we're being, told AND i
say we're being told because if a government shut down
(15:41):
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 necessarily mean that
it will not be hindered in some. Way it doesn't
mean that they will have the full complement of employees
(16:02):
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 that's just some
of the things that you may see and feel here
In california that even though we may be thousands of
(16:24):
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 months or you work
in a federal, court so you have federal business in
a court that might be. Impacted you might be, impacted
(16:45):
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 californian
(17:07):
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 to get the
blame or who's going to win this? 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 to. Blame that's what politicians.
(17:27):
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 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
(17:51):
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, 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
(18:14):
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 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
(18:38):
if if it's bad news more recently that's going to
weigh more, heavily then the government, shutdown which would have
then been thirteen months. Prior so although it may be
consuming the news right, now it is not going to
be anything which is going to determine what happens to the.
Midterms and this one last thing before we go to
(19:00):
break the midterms are About. Congress it's not about the,
president largely because there's not a presidential election during the. Midterms,
now 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
(19:21):
that by and large people Hate.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Congress WHEN i say, hate it has the lowest approval
rating in.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
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 of an impact
(19:49):
on what. Happens. Then it's later with Mo KELLY kfim six.
Forty we're live on YouTube and The iHeartRadio. App come
join us for the video simulcast on. YouTube A kelly
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 you're.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
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 twin twenty five year old man is right
(21:02):
now 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
(21:25):
traveling From Union, 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
(21:45):
AND i can't really glean much from. It it shows
firefighter is treating, 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 In San.
Diego we would take a Metro link, train and SO
i kind of know how it. Goes and it's really
(22:06):
strange how often you will find people either walking across
the tracks or 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
(22:27):
relatively common, occurrence AND i know That i've never in my.
LIFE i 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.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
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.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
FOREVER i don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
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. 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 2 (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.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Out 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 3 (24:20):
Track she had to get out of a car let
her car get hit by the. Train, yeah gotta be
aware of your, surroundings just Like batman was taught as
a young. Man or AS i said the other night
about gas. Stations it's all to, say.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
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. Train 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
When i'm living now in la there's a prominent train
(25:13):
track 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.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Direction, yeah And i'm not exaggerating this at.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
All she was balled up in her, car the metal balled,
up and the conductor of the train just watched her
turned into 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 were 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. Eighties.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
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.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Like did you see the really gory, ones, yes like
for it with real life. Footage, yes that stuff is.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Traumatized, Yes and we had it as a part of
driver's 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
(26:48):
cars crossing train tracks or high speed.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
ACCIDENTS i feel like there's A frogger analogy in here.
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.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Can 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. Reason there's One i'll tell you
off the air which will make your jaw.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Drop. Oo you're not gonna be able to focus on
anything for the rest of the.
Speaker 1 (28:05):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
