It's social media.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
Load, Arlad with Timney kf I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's Later with Mo Kelly
and this is the viral load with Me Tiffany Hobbes.
And before we get into the viral load, I just
want to do another flight callback to the series Paradise
(00:51):
that has been being discussed at nauseum here on the
Later with Mo Kelly show, because I consider myself to
be a part of the Later crew, and we do
have a text thread in which we share messages.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
And one of the things that was said.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Last night Mo by you was that you questioned whether
or not the crew had done their quote unquote homework
to watch the latest episode of the series Paradise on Hulu.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I was at.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Home screaming into my radio while I was listening on
the iHeartRadio app, telling you Mo, and then texting in
the group thread that I managed to watch the latest episode. Therefore,
I was the first person in the Later crew to
watch the latest episode. I did my homework and I
am literally obsessed with this show.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Point of order.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
The homework assignment was only for the first episode, Comet Moving. Okay, no, no,
because I said, just watch the first episode now. If
you don't like it after that, that's up to you.
But the homework was just I'm not going to say
your homeworkers watched all five episodes so far clear.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I did it anyway, and I feel like you're aition
for that. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I watched the episode and I have a lot to
say about it and want to hear it.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
You know, she's that student who didn't realize, Okay, tonight,
you only have to do questions on pages three, five,
and seven.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
She decided to do all seven pages.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Were the one that says you forgot to give us
homework tonight, right right?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Character assassination on the Later with mo Kelly's show, it
sounds like the bar is in hell.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I did the homework. You all should do the homework.
Watch Paradise on Hulu. It is an amazing rid so
you can keep up with the show. Getting now into
the viral load. Speaking of moving the goalposts, I have
two stories to start off this first portion of the
viral load that come directly from the super we say
it now, yeah, you can say it exactly. We're not
(02:45):
promoting anything. So there was a waitress and during the
Super Bowl festivities, of course, New Orleans, Louisiana was packed
with revelers, people who were there to enjoy all of
the festivities, of course, and that then translated to more
businessiness in their main tourism quarter, the French Quarter. If
you've ever been in New Orleans, you know it is
(03:05):
chock full of bars and restaurants. Well, there was a
waitress in New Orleans at a restaurant called the Howland Wolf.
Her name is Heather Foster, and she waited on a
number of people during the Super Bowl weekend, including the
rapper singer Post Malone. Now, when she waited on posts Malone,
(03:27):
her service must have been something extraordinary because she didn't
just get a ten percent tip, she didn't even get
a fifty percent tip. No, she got over one hundred
percent extra in tip money, equating to two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Do you want me to answer this question for you
as far as well she did?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
No, I bet you wanted to know every guy already
knows the answer to this question.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
She must have been as fine as all get out.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Whatever the case, her fineness, her whatever made her a
can for this two thousand dollars tip, did not in
fact land her as the direct recipient of this money
as intended. And what I mean is the Howland Woolf,
like many restaurants around the country, has protective limits in
(04:16):
place to limit fraud. They make it so that a
tip cannot exceed a certain amount. The Howland Woolf had
a few hundred dollars maximum. When it comes to the tip.
The tip she got from Post Malone was two thousand dollars,
far exceeding the maximum, so the bar decided to withhold
(04:36):
her tip and only give her what was within the
parameters of their maximum limit. So Heather Foster was very upset.
She took to social media. Of course, her posts went
viral and people shared them around the city, specifically including
different dignitary different politicians, including Helen Moreno, who happens to
(05:00):
be likely to run for mayor the next term. And
because of the social media pressure, the Howland Wolf decided
to modify their tip restrictions and then awarded Heather Foster
her full two thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
That's interesting because a lot of places that I frequent
or people who know who will work in the service industry,
they don't get tips that are left for them to
kind of put in a big jar per se, and
then they're distributed amongst all the staff, the bar backs, dishwashers,
and the waiters and waitresses.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah, that can happen, but in this case, post Malone,
the artist post Malone, designated that this two thousand tip
was for Heather Foster specifically, and the Howland Wolf collected
that tip and payment through the Square app, which is
that app where you slide your cards, your debit, your
credit card into this little machine and it runs it.
(05:56):
This app collects a percentage, and the app and the
restaurant again combined to create these limits for protection. They
fortunately were able to undo those protections and Heather Foster
walked away with a two thousand dollars tip during Super
Bowl weekend. An amazing feel good story. I'll spit it
all to the vagabond in please do not. Another interesting story
(06:19):
that comes out of the Super Bowl has to do
with some black magic voodoo.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Well, there was.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
A fan sitting in the stands during the game. This
fan is an Eagles fan, as identified by the jersey that.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
She is wearing.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
What people were also able to identify is that this fan,
while sitting in the stands, was holding a doll. This
doll seemed to be a crochet doll, small doll.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It had on a Chief's jersey with the.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Number fifteen, which happens to be their quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And as she's sitting in the stands, this fan takes
out a needle.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
She proceeds to then poke incessantly this doll in the
back in the chest, which of course, people decided to
record and upload to social media during way viral. This
is during the game that the Chiefs then lost, and
people are attributing a lot of that loss to this woman,
(07:22):
who is unknown at this time.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
She's anonymous, but that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Her tactics, her strategies, her black magic, her voodoo in
the city of New Orleans, whether she is from New
Orleans or not, which is very synonymous with magic and
kind of the lore of all of this that that
could have all combined to cause the Chiefs to.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Lose the Super Bowl. It is New Orleans, It is
New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I dated one woman from New Orleans. Careful care if
I am six forty relive everybody.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
iHeartRadio app will have the second portion on the Viral
Load with Tiffany Howsen.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Just moment you're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty. Now it's tuk the
Viral Lot Tiffany Live on Cafi Nato.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
In lo O Kelly.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
She'll talk about on social media.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Ralone with Tiffany.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Hubbs kf I AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
And this is part two of Tonight's The Viral Load
with Me Tiffany Hobbs. We're gonna shift from the super Bowl,
which was the last segment. Make sure you listen on
the iHeartRadio app. But this next section has a cacophony
of feel good stories starting with this might not necessarily
be a feel good story for all, but for some
(08:56):
the farmers who are essentially rising up to tell you
that the egg shortage that we all are experiencing or
that you may have heard of, well it is a
real thing and a way that you can circumvent the
egg shortage is to in fact buy directly from farmers.
There are quite a few farmers who have taken to
(09:17):
social media to express their want to be supported as
a way to circumvent the higher prices at grocery stores.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And big box chains.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
There's one shopper in particular who took to social media
excuse me, one farmer in particular who took to social
media to tell all of his followers about what he
thinks is really happening when it comes to the egg shortage.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Steph, can we go hello, Hello.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
It's me again with another egg video. I thought, I
bet I get this one out there before the supermarkets
put their story across and cancel everyone else at So
when you go into a supermarket now, you might see
that there is a bit of an egg short stage.
So not many eggs on the shelf to buy, not
free range, not organic, nothing, so you're struggling to find eggs.
(10:08):
Supermarkets are going to tell you this is because of
avian flu, which, to be fair, there has been a
lot of cases of avian flu. But do you want
to know the real reason why there's an egg shortage?
It is because the supermarkets won't pay the farmers for
the eggs. So the supermarkets have up their price for you,
(10:29):
the consumer, but they haven't filtered that price increase down
to us, the farmers. So our cost of producing these
eggs has skyrocketed feed electric the price of new birds,
that's gone up, but our price of eggs has stayed
the same, So we physically can't afford to produce these eggs.
(10:53):
So currently there's been eight million less free range hens
ordered for next year's flopsy, so that's just under eight
million eggs every day.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
So the feel good aspect of this particular story comes
from the fact that farmers are seeing on social media
an insurgence of support for their farming, for their what
they're producing, and again they are inviting people to come
patronize what they're doing locally, and the local farmers are
(11:26):
seeing a boost in sales. So people are suggesting that
if you want to again avoid the higher prices at
grocery stores, what is being shared on social media is
that you should buy directly from your local farmer.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
How feasible is that.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
I mean, let's say I don't want to go to routs,
I don't want to go to VA's pavilions, Gelston's I
don't want to feel like anyone's left out. My local
farmer is where what circumstances you know?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
How can I find him?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Her?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Them?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
What do I need to transport the eggs because they
should be refrigerated or not?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I don't you know? What do we do? Well?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
What you do first is you take to the internet
and you ask the internet. Because I don't have the
answers for all of that, but I definitely suggest what
I would do is that you should go on Google
or whatever the search engine is of your choice and
ask for your local farmer location, a location or a
list of local farmers that you can then visit and
talk to them about how to purchase and how to
(12:21):
then transport whatever products it is that you're trying to buy.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
And it's not just eggs.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
There's also other sorts of items there that you can
purchase that are at a lower cost. And farmers are saying, hey, again,
support us. Our prices, as you heard that young man say,
are lower. We're incurring higher costs of production, but we're
keeping our prices low.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Come shop with us.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Right, you're paying for the I will say, the convenience
of going to the grocery store which only may be
a half a mile away.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yes, and getting more than just eggs.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
You can get other things, other dairy items and what
have you as opposed to going to the farmers for
just three or four items.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Sure, but shop local, try it out. Now's this time.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Now's as good a time as ever, then to try
a different alternative. The next story has to do with insurance,
and in this current climate where big insurance companies have
been under the proverbial gun for their policies, this story
has a very happy ending. It starts off not so
(13:23):
happily though. There's a man and he ended up going
viral because he took to social media to advertise something.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And I'll tell you what that's something is.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
This man is from Omaha and he needed a liver transplant,
but his insurance denied the transplant, citing that it was
not medically necessary. His insurance company, Anthem, decided that they
would revoke the initial appeals from this man, Nathan Kirkland,
(13:54):
and so in a last ditch effort to not only
share his plight with people and fine community amongst his
suffering and his fear, but also to maybe kind of
put some pressure on the insurance company Nathan Kirkland went
to social media and posted about what he was going through, saying, Hey,
(14:17):
I need this liver transplant. My insurance coverage is being denied.
Anthem is saying I don't qualify. What should I do?
His post was shared very far and wide. It went
viral many times over, and people picked up the story,
including reporters and other journalists from his town in Omaha
(14:40):
and also outside of Nebraska as well. It went viral
just domestically around the country, and the pressure that was
produced from the virality of his story got to Anthem.
Once it got to Anthem, Nathan was contacted and he
he was told, hey, we see that your story essentially
(15:05):
is gaining in popularity. We are going to reconsider our denial.
We are going to take your appeal and we are
going to not only grant you this transplant, but we
are also going to modify our policy going forward so
(15:25):
that others who might be in a similar situation will
not be denied on the basis of it of your
procedure not being medically necessary. So, because of the viral
nature of Nathan Kirkland's health story, Anthem has changed their
policy again, and this story has a happy ending because
(15:46):
Nathan Kirkland was able to get his liver transplant.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
If there's something that I can say in support of
social media is that it does provide a way for
the powerless or seemingly powerless, to shame and pressure the powerful.
This doesn't happen without social media.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
It does not happen without social media. And I have
one correction.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
He has not received the transplant yet, but now he
is on the list and is probably at the front
of that analysts to receive that transplant.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Mode.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
We have time for one last quick story. So some
of you might have been seeing on social media that
Jennifer Hudson, the singer of American Idol fame many years ago.
An actress in her own right, she is an egot.
She is a very acclaimed entertainer. She has a new
talk show and it's been in production now for about
(16:39):
six months. A part of the talk show is the
entrance of the people she's interviewing, from celebrities to dignitaries,
authors to cooks. Everyone goes down something called a spirit tunnel.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
The spirit tunnel is like a tunnel.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
That the athletes, like football games or basketball players would
come out to exactly your through to come to the
field or to the floor, and all of these entertainers,
all of these guests are invited to come down the
tunnel and they have a special song tailored to them.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
The songs have gone viral.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
The video clips have gone viral to the tune, with
the most popular being sixty five million views on TikTok.
That is for the actor Aaron Pierre, who is now
the most viral TikTok from the Jennifer Hudson Spirit Tunnel.
But this is a wave, This is a phenomenon all itself.
(17:35):
The executive producer and showrunner Andy Lasner told USA Today
that he's never seen this in his forty years of
working in production and TV, and that guests get so
revved up and energetic to come out that it is
unlike again anything he's ever experienced.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And it makes it a beautiful, beautiful show.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So you can see the Spirit Tunnel on YouTube or
on social media.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It is viral all over the place. A lot of fine.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
When we come back, we have the twenty twenty five
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees, and I'm not
so sure about some of the names on this list.
And I'm quite sure, you'll probably agree. Except for Mark.
We don't agree on much. We'll find out in just
a moment. KFI AM six forty Live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
And the list of the twenty twenty five Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame nominees is now out. Let me
start the conversation as I do every single year, because
invariably someone's going to say, well, that artist is not
rock and roll, or that artists only saying pop music.
It's called the rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but
(18:42):
it's not about the rock and roll genre.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Think of it as the music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
It's for artists who have been consequential, influential, impactful on
a music level, on a society or a cultural level.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Impact. It's not whether you are a rock artist.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
So if you want to get your ass on the
shoulders and say how did that rap group get in,
you don't understand. It's not the rock and roll genre
music Hall of Fame. It's basically a music Hall of fame,
general music hall of Fame, and it was named the
rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And this has always been true since the very beginning.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Were the first class inducted was Elvis Presley, James Brown,
Little Richard, Fats Domino, Ray Charles definitely not rock and roll,
Chuck Berry, Sam Cook not rock and roll, The Everly
Brothers not rock and roll, Buddy Holly and.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Jerry Lee Lewis.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
It's inclusive of the rock genre, but it's not exclusive
two the rock genre. Now that we've gotten that out
of the way, and I'll say it again next year
when you start complaining not knowing what the rock and
Roll Hall of Fame is, and this for us is
just yes.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
With our vast and wide musical knowledge, will go around
and say, is this group? Is this artist who has
been nominated impactful, influential, consequential and to qualify it has
to be at least twenty five years since your first
released single. Okay, And for me this is all subjective,
(20:24):
you know, consequential, impactful is subjective. But there's some people,
as far as I'm concerned, automatic, Yes, some of those
are like I might have to live and sit with
their discography a little while longer, or someone needs to
make a compelling argument. I'm and you might get my
buy in, and some are like, no, I don't think so.
It's the Hall of Fame. It's not the Hall of
the mediocre, Hall of the sobso or hall of the
(20:45):
one hit wonders.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
That's just me. Now.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
It's voted on by like five hundred different people, and
they've got five hundred different opinions. But these we got one, two, three, four,
five people here who'll give their opinions, and we all
know something a little something about different jo.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
So let's get to the list. The White Stripes.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yes, yes, absolutely, no, no, nope, nope, I need I
need to hear more compelling argument than just yes.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
The White Stripes and Jack White, what they have done
for music and how they pushed that form of rock
music forward was transcended at a time when rock music
largely was not making or crossing over to pop radio.
It was relegated to just rock stations. When the White
(21:34):
Stripes came out pop radio stations and they started getting
more recognition, bands across the board started getting more mainstream recognition,
and that is because of the White Stripes and what
Jack White did. Also crossing over with different rap groups,
different pop groups period as just a prolific producer.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yes, absolutely, Sound Garden. Are we kidding? Yes, that's yes. Yeah.
Look I will sing Black Hole Sun.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
To the Day I die, or any of the interpretations
of it be a jazz gospel. There's so many different
interpretations of just that one song.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Fish p H, I s H. Of course.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I was never a fan of Fish, but I will
listen to the argument as far as their influence. I'm
lukewarm on Fish. I was gonna say, I have to
listen to an argument for that one. I have none, Okay,
all right, So that's one we're kind of in agreement on.
It's like someone's got to make an argument outcast. Yes, yes, absolutely.
(22:38):
In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, here we
go again. See we did this last year. I gave
the explainer in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Oh I was listening. I just mark the thumbs down. Mark.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
There's more people than Frank Sinatra. You know that, right, Mark?
I thank you Mark.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
In terms of music, what Outcasts did, not only for
the Atlanta music scene, for Southern rap period, and what
they did for just music in general. What Andre three
thousand and Big Boy have done to contribute to the
growth and proliferate oration of hip hop around the world.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I don't know if there's a big rap duo in
the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Earlier Transcend, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
I mean, it's not the hill I want to die on.
But I think the average person would be hard pressed
to name a handful of their great Oh you'd be wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Hey, hey, yeah, all right.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
All the songs that you know that you don't even
know is them? Yeah, I bet there's that's probably true.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
There are a bunch. They are a bunch of hits
they've had.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Do they belong alongside Elvis and the Stones and all
those guys?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yes? Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And that's a no. I look,
I'm sorry, it's not in your rotation.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Yes, okay, sorry again for me, it's consequential, cultural impact,
influential checks all those boxes.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Next one. Oasis, absolutely not. I can only think of
one song.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
I say yes because of how culturally relevant, how popular
they were in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
They were everywhere.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You couldn't do anything without hearing an Oasis songs, Oasis
video Beyond Wonderwall, and their feud was legendary. Put them
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their
feud alone.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
They're still feuding.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
They tried to get back together and they started fighting
on something.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
The reunion to put it in the Jerry Springer Hall
of Fame, not the Rock and roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Okay, and I'll claim ignorance on this next one. Manah, yes,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Now here's the thing. I'm okay, So I'm not a
mana fan. However, I do know that they sell out
wherever they go. They go over to the Forum and
they sell out multiple times a year.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
They are Spanish rock.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Tomorrow to Barx point. They're like the Rolling Stones of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
It's not the one with the muppets going no no, no.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No no.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
I thought that instantly. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Expand your minds, guys.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Okay, Joy Division Slash New Order, Oh definitely, excuse me, Okay,
make the argument please, You're very influential, uh new wave band.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I know their new wave.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
I'm just saying, I don't know what's the argument, like,
what what what is the what is the song that
we could say was consequential.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Influential Monday? Yeah, okay, yep, I know it's talking about
but that's on the song that.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
I know, terrific I mean it wouldn't that qualify under
the one Hit Wonder Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Like, wouldn't that exclude that? I said, I can only
name one that was just me one sounds like a
one hay Wonder. I'm just I'm just curious.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Mark.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I don't know that song enough for it to be
a thing. But you said it so quickly. I'm like,
man like Mark.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
No, well, one song is a thing. I just don't
know beyond the one.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
I'm not a scholar of their whole discography, but they
were giants of the eighties, all right.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Can we at least agree on Cyndy Lapper, Yes, yeah,
everybody loves Yeah, Okay. Can we agree on Billy Idol?
Yes already.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Right when you said that, I thought you were saying, like,
are we just throwing our names that are already?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
And then we can agree on White Wedding.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Absolutely, Joe Cocker yes, Chubby Checker yes, wow?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Bad do you say sure like that? What was that? Well?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
No, No, I agree, I agree Bad Company.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Maybe I need someone else to make the argument for him.
I don't know. I'm on the fence.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
The Black Crows, I'd say, yes, yeah, definitely Mariah Carey.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Yes, for influence for that one song alone.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yes, looks she has two many hits to even nam
culturally relevant obviously for more than thirty years.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, absolutely, I think we pretty.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Much agreed on most of them. With the sception of
Mark Ronner, an outcast I mean left.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Talk about I don't know music.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
He is the outcast in this well done.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Yeah, it's not the only time I think it's fun
when you guys try to gang up on.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Me, gang up on you. You basically said throw rocks
at me, please. You asked for it. It's like a
Reddit roast me. You put the sign on your own back.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Good sir, get get the easy ones right, my goodness,
you like what you like.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
This is not about what we like, It's about what
you like.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
No, they are artists on this list that I don't
particularly care for, Like I'm not. I would not call
myself a Black Crows fan, but I can't deny their
impact and cultural relevance and consequences two different things.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
I think the Black Crows are marginal. I don't have
anything against him, but I don't think they're giants of
rock roll.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
There you go, you keep qualifying it giants of rock
and roll. It's not rock and roll genre specific. There's
no need to be pedanic. You know what I mean
when I say giants of rock and roll. Yeah, that's
the part of the damn. The criteria is not reserved
for only rock genre.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
I just I think the bars kind of lowered here
for inclusion into this Hall of fame.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
You call it a sy what you mean? Say what
you mean? The Black crows er d.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
You got me, you busted me?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I am six forty and.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Before we go, I just have a basic question, and
it's for everyone in the studio because it kind of
informs my final thought tonight, Stephen, do you find yourself
getting stressed because of political conversations that you may have
with someone or online? I would say generally no, Okay,
(29:00):
Ronnor what about you the state of politics today?
Speaker 9 (29:03):
I think you know the answer to that, Okay, without
even asking, well, I thought I would ask you for
public you know, the only way not to be stressed
is not to pay attention.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
It's a stressful time, Okay. Tiffany Hobbs, what about you?
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
And everything seems to take on a political tone, even
when you're trying to avoid it.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
So yes, it can be stressful.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
It kind of informs my final remarks tonight, and I
want to put it within that context. If you find
yourself being more stressed out because of politics, researchers have
actually quantified that as to why. And I often say,
when I'm not working, I don't talk about politics.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I'll post some snark on social media.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
I will from time to time, but I don't always,
and I don't want to go deep with people because
it begins to stress me out. It absolutely stresses me out,
which is almost a contradiction. But all of my TV work,
if you've been paying attention, is political, and some of
my radio work is too, so I need some time
to balance that out. There's a national survey on stressors
(30:07):
conducted by the American Psychological Association or APA for twenty
twenty four found that the future of the nation or
politics was the leading cause of significant stress among adults,
with nearly eight in ten seventy seven percent reporting it
as a major source of anxiety. And here are some
of the other takeaways from this and other comparable studies.
(30:29):
Everyday political events can cause harmed psychological and to our
physical well being. In fact, politics can harm people's well
being as much or more than Get this alcohol. A
study conducted in twenty seventeen estimated that ninety four million
Americans felt politics caused significant stress, forty four million lost sleep,
(30:52):
thirty million suffered physical health harm, and eleven million had
suicidal thoughts. Effects comparable two or worse than those associated
with alcohol, except none of the buzz or none of
the great sex.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Connected to it. That's just my little addentum.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
In short, our politics is killing us.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
The multiple studies concluded not only are politics related well
being issues worsened for many in recent years, political polarization
is linked with worse anxiety and depression. And here's my
takeaway and what I give to you. If the country
is going to hell, and we all have our theories
as to why or whether it is or who is responsible,
(31:38):
here's the truth. You won't have any real say in
it or saving it. I know you think that posting
on social media is going to make a difference, but
I'm here to tell you it will not. I know
that if you think if you insult enough people in
real life or in cyberspace. It's going to make a difference.
It will not. It's not going to change. Either the
(32:00):
country is going to go to hell or it won't
go to hell. This is my recommendation. Do like I
do and know when to let it go. It's not
worth your health, it's not worth your peace, and most importantly,
it's not worth your life.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
No wind to just let it go. For KF, I
am six forty, I'm o Kelly, perfect for achy indecisive minds.

You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Forty Now Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
It's social media.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Facebook gets to Chick took the viral Dney.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Viral load, Viral load, the viral.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
Load, Arlad with Timney kf I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's Later with Mo Kelly
and this is the viral load with Me Tiffany Hobbes.
And before we get into the viral load, I just
want to do another flight callback to the series Paradise
(00:51):
that has been being discussed at nauseum here on the
Later with Mo Kelly show, because I consider myself to
be a part of the Later crew, and we do
have a text thread in which we share messages.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
And one of the things that was said.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Last night Mo by you was that you questioned whether
or not the crew had done their quote unquote homework
to watch the latest episode of the series Paradise on Hulu.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I was at.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Home screaming into my radio while I was listening on
the iHeartRadio app, telling you Mo, and then texting in
the group thread that I managed to watch the latest episode. Therefore,
I was the first person in the Later crew to
watch the latest episode. I did my homework and I
am literally obsessed with this show.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Point of order.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
The homework assignment was only for the first episode, Comet Moving. Okay, no, no,
because I said, just watch the first episode now. If
you don't like it after that, that's up to you.
But the homework was just I'm not going to say
your homeworkers watched all five episodes so far clear.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I did it anyway, and I feel like you're aition
for that. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I watched the episode and I have a lot to
say about it and want to hear it.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
You know, she's that student who didn't realize, Okay, tonight,
you only have to do questions on pages three, five,
and seven.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
She decided to do all seven pages.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Were the one that says you forgot to give us
homework tonight, right right?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Character assassination on the Later with mo Kelly's show, it
sounds like the bar is in hell.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I did the homework. You all should do the homework.
Watch Paradise on Hulu. It is an amazing rid so
you can keep up with the show. Getting now into
the viral load. Speaking of moving the goalposts, I have
two stories to start off this first portion of the
viral load that come directly from the super we say
it now, yeah, you can say it exactly. We're not
(02:45):
promoting anything. So there was a waitress and during the
Super Bowl festivities, of course, New Orleans, Louisiana was packed
with revelers, people who were there to enjoy all of
the festivities, of course, and that then translated to more
businessiness in their main tourism quarter, the French Quarter. If
you've ever been in New Orleans, you know it is
(03:05):
chock full of bars and restaurants. Well, there was a
waitress in New Orleans at a restaurant called the Howland Wolf.
Her name is Heather Foster, and she waited on a
number of people during the Super Bowl weekend, including the
rapper singer Post Malone. Now, when she waited on posts Malone,
(03:27):
her service must have been something extraordinary because she didn't
just get a ten percent tip, she didn't even get
a fifty percent tip. No, she got over one hundred
percent extra in tip money, equating to two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Do you want me to answer this question for you
as far as well she did?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
No, I bet you wanted to know every guy already
knows the answer to this question.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
She must have been as fine as all get out.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Whatever the case, her fineness, her whatever made her a
can for this two thousand dollars tip, did not in
fact land her as the direct recipient of this money
as intended. And what I mean is the Howland Woolf,
like many restaurants around the country, has protective limits in
(04:16):
place to limit fraud. They make it so that a
tip cannot exceed a certain amount. The Howland Woolf had
a few hundred dollars maximum. When it comes to the tip.
The tip she got from Post Malone was two thousand dollars,
far exceeding the maximum, so the bar decided to withhold
(04:36):
her tip and only give her what was within the
parameters of their maximum limit. So Heather Foster was very upset.
She took to social media. Of course, her posts went
viral and people shared them around the city, specifically including
different dignitary different politicians, including Helen Moreno, who happens to
(05:00):
be likely to run for mayor the next term. And
because of the social media pressure, the Howland Wolf decided
to modify their tip restrictions and then awarded Heather Foster
her full two thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
That's interesting because a lot of places that I frequent
or people who know who will work in the service industry,
they don't get tips that are left for them to
kind of put in a big jar per se, and
then they're distributed amongst all the staff, the bar backs, dishwashers,
and the waiters and waitresses.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah, that can happen, but in this case, post Malone,
the artist post Malone, designated that this two thousand tip
was for Heather Foster specifically, and the Howland Wolf collected
that tip and payment through the Square app, which is
that app where you slide your cards, your debit, your
credit card into this little machine and it runs it.
(05:56):
This app collects a percentage, and the app and the
restaurant again combined to create these limits for protection. They
fortunately were able to undo those protections and Heather Foster
walked away with a two thousand dollars tip during Super
Bowl weekend. An amazing feel good story. I'll spit it
all to the vagabond in please do not. Another interesting story
(06:19):
that comes out of the Super Bowl has to do
with some black magic voodoo.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Well, there was.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
A fan sitting in the stands during the game. This
fan is an Eagles fan, as identified by the jersey that.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
She is wearing.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
What people were also able to identify is that this fan,
while sitting in the stands, was holding a doll. This
doll seemed to be a crochet doll, small doll.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It had on a Chief's jersey with the.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Number fifteen, which happens to be their quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And as she's sitting in the stands, this fan takes
out a needle.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
She proceeds to then poke incessantly this doll in the
back in the chest, which of course, people decided to
record and upload to social media during way viral. This
is during the game that the Chiefs then lost, and
people are attributing a lot of that loss to this woman,
(07:22):
who is unknown at this time.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
She's anonymous, but that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Her tactics, her strategies, her black magic, her voodoo in
the city of New Orleans, whether she is from New
Orleans or not, which is very synonymous with magic and
kind of the lore of all of this that that
could have all combined to cause the Chiefs to.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Lose the Super Bowl. It is New Orleans, It is
New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I dated one woman from New Orleans. Careful care if
I am six forty relive everybody.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
iHeartRadio app will have the second portion on the Viral
Load with Tiffany Howsen.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Just moment you're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty. Now it's tuk the
Viral Lot Tiffany Live on Cafi Nato.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
In lo O Kelly.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
She'll talk about on social media.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Ralone with Tiffany.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Hubbs kf I AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
And this is part two of Tonight's The Viral Load
with Me Tiffany Hobbs. We're gonna shift from the super Bowl,
which was the last segment. Make sure you listen on
the iHeartRadio app. But this next section has a cacophony
of feel good stories starting with this might not necessarily
be a feel good story for all, but for some
(08:56):
the farmers who are essentially rising up to tell you
that the egg shortage that we all are experiencing or
that you may have heard of, well it is a
real thing and a way that you can circumvent the
egg shortage is to in fact buy directly from farmers.
There are quite a few farmers who have taken to
(09:17):
social media to express their want to be supported as
a way to circumvent the higher prices at grocery stores.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And big box chains.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
There's one shopper in particular who took to social media
excuse me, one farmer in particular who took to social
media to tell all of his followers about what he
thinks is really happening when it comes to the egg shortage.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Steph, can we go hello, Hello.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
It's me again with another egg video. I thought, I
bet I get this one out there before the supermarkets
put their story across and cancel everyone else at So
when you go into a supermarket now, you might see
that there is a bit of an egg short stage.
So not many eggs on the shelf to buy, not
free range, not organic, nothing, so you're struggling to find eggs.
(10:08):
Supermarkets are going to tell you this is because of
avian flu, which, to be fair, there has been a
lot of cases of avian flu. But do you want
to know the real reason why there's an egg shortage?
It is because the supermarkets won't pay the farmers for
the eggs. So the supermarkets have up their price for you,
(10:29):
the consumer, but they haven't filtered that price increase down
to us, the farmers. So our cost of producing these
eggs has skyrocketed feed electric the price of new birds,
that's gone up, but our price of eggs has stayed
the same, So we physically can't afford to produce these eggs.
(10:53):
So currently there's been eight million less free range hens
ordered for next year's flopsy, so that's just under eight
million eggs every day.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
So the feel good aspect of this particular story comes
from the fact that farmers are seeing on social media
an insurgence of support for their farming, for their what
they're producing, and again they are inviting people to come
patronize what they're doing locally, and the local farmers are
(11:26):
seeing a boost in sales. So people are suggesting that
if you want to again avoid the higher prices at
grocery stores, what is being shared on social media is
that you should buy directly from your local farmer.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
How feasible is that.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
I mean, let's say I don't want to go to routs,
I don't want to go to VA's pavilions, Gelston's I
don't want to feel like anyone's left out. My local
farmer is where what circumstances you know?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
How can I find him?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Her?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Them?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
What do I need to transport the eggs because they
should be refrigerated or not?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I don't you know? What do we do? Well?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
What you do first is you take to the internet
and you ask the internet. Because I don't have the
answers for all of that, but I definitely suggest what
I would do is that you should go on Google
or whatever the search engine is of your choice and
ask for your local farmer location, a location or a
list of local farmers that you can then visit and
talk to them about how to purchase and how to
(12:21):
then transport whatever products it is that you're trying to buy.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
And it's not just eggs.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
There's also other sorts of items there that you can
purchase that are at a lower cost. And farmers are saying, hey, again,
support us. Our prices, as you heard that young man say,
are lower. We're incurring higher costs of production, but we're
keeping our prices low.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Come shop with us.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Right, you're paying for the I will say, the convenience
of going to the grocery store which only may be
a half a mile away.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yes, and getting more than just eggs.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
You can get other things, other dairy items and what
have you as opposed to going to the farmers for
just three or four items.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Sure, but shop local, try it out. Now's this time.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Now's as good a time as ever, then to try
a different alternative. The next story has to do with insurance,
and in this current climate where big insurance companies have
been under the proverbial gun for their policies, this story
has a very happy ending. It starts off not so
(13:23):
happily though. There's a man and he ended up going
viral because he took to social media to advertise something.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And I'll tell you what that's something is.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
This man is from Omaha and he needed a liver transplant,
but his insurance denied the transplant, citing that it was
not medically necessary. His insurance company, Anthem, decided that they
would revoke the initial appeals from this man, Nathan Kirkland,
(13:54):
and so in a last ditch effort to not only
share his plight with people and fine community amongst his
suffering and his fear, but also to maybe kind of
put some pressure on the insurance company Nathan Kirkland went
to social media and posted about what he was going through, saying, Hey,
(14:17):
I need this liver transplant. My insurance coverage is being denied.
Anthem is saying I don't qualify. What should I do?
His post was shared very far and wide. It went
viral many times over, and people picked up the story,
including reporters and other journalists from his town in Omaha
(14:40):
and also outside of Nebraska as well. It went viral
just domestically around the country, and the pressure that was
produced from the virality of his story got to Anthem.
Once it got to Anthem, Nathan was contacted and he
he was told, hey, we see that your story essentially
(15:05):
is gaining in popularity. We are going to reconsider our denial.
We are going to take your appeal and we are
going to not only grant you this transplant, but we
are also going to modify our policy going forward so
(15:25):
that others who might be in a similar situation will
not be denied on the basis of it of your
procedure not being medically necessary. So, because of the viral
nature of Nathan Kirkland's health story, Anthem has changed their
policy again, and this story has a happy ending because
(15:46):
Nathan Kirkland was able to get his liver transplant.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
If there's something that I can say in support of
social media is that it does provide a way for
the powerless or seemingly powerless, to shame and pressure the powerful.
This doesn't happen without social media.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
It does not happen without social media. And I have
one correction.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
He has not received the transplant yet, but now he
is on the list and is probably at the front
of that analysts to receive that transplant.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Mode.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
We have time for one last quick story. So some
of you might have been seeing on social media that
Jennifer Hudson, the singer of American Idol fame many years ago.
An actress in her own right, she is an egot.
She is a very acclaimed entertainer. She has a new
talk show and it's been in production now for about
(16:39):
six months. A part of the talk show is the
entrance of the people she's interviewing, from celebrities to dignitaries,
authors to cooks. Everyone goes down something called a spirit tunnel.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
The spirit tunnel is like a tunnel.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
That the athletes, like football games or basketball players would
come out to exactly your through to come to the
field or to the floor, and all of these entertainers,
all of these guests are invited to come down the
tunnel and they have a special song tailored to them.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
The songs have gone viral.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
The video clips have gone viral to the tune, with
the most popular being sixty five million views on TikTok.
That is for the actor Aaron Pierre, who is now
the most viral TikTok from the Jennifer Hudson Spirit Tunnel.
But this is a wave, This is a phenomenon all itself.
(17:35):
The executive producer and showrunner Andy Lasner told USA Today
that he's never seen this in his forty years of
working in production and TV, and that guests get so
revved up and energetic to come out that it is
unlike again anything he's ever experienced.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And it makes it a beautiful, beautiful show.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So you can see the Spirit Tunnel on YouTube or
on social media.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It is viral all over the place. A lot of fine.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
When we come back, we have the twenty twenty five
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees, and I'm not
so sure about some of the names on this list.
And I'm quite sure, you'll probably agree. Except for Mark.
We don't agree on much. We'll find out in just
a moment. KFI AM six forty Live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
And the list of the twenty twenty five Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame nominees is now out. Let me
start the conversation as I do every single year, because
invariably someone's going to say, well, that artist is not
rock and roll, or that artists only saying pop music.
It's called the rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but
(18:42):
it's not about the rock and roll genre.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Think of it as the music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
It's for artists who have been consequential, influential, impactful on
a music level, on a society or a cultural level.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Impact. It's not whether you are a rock artist.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
So if you want to get your ass on the
shoulders and say how did that rap group get in,
you don't understand. It's not the rock and roll genre
music Hall of Fame. It's basically a music Hall of fame,
general music hall of Fame, and it was named the
rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And this has always been true since the very beginning.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Were the first class inducted was Elvis Presley, James Brown,
Little Richard, Fats Domino, Ray Charles definitely not rock and roll,
Chuck Berry, Sam Cook not rock and roll, The Everly
Brothers not rock and roll, Buddy Holly and.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Jerry Lee Lewis.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
It's inclusive of the rock genre, but it's not exclusive
two the rock genre. Now that we've gotten that out
of the way, and I'll say it again next year
when you start complaining not knowing what the rock and
Roll Hall of Fame is, and this for us is
just yes.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
With our vast and wide musical knowledge, will go around
and say, is this group? Is this artist who has
been nominated impactful, influential, consequential and to qualify it has
to be at least twenty five years since your first
released single. Okay, And for me this is all subjective,
(20:24):
you know, consequential, impactful is subjective. But there's some people,
as far as I'm concerned, automatic, Yes, some of those
are like I might have to live and sit with
their discography a little while longer, or someone needs to
make a compelling argument. I'm and you might get my
buy in, and some are like, no, I don't think so.
It's the Hall of Fame. It's not the Hall of
the mediocre, Hall of the sobso or hall of the
(20:45):
one hit wonders.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
That's just me. Now.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
It's voted on by like five hundred different people, and
they've got five hundred different opinions. But these we got one, two, three, four,
five people here who'll give their opinions, and we all
know something a little something about different jo.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
So let's get to the list. The White Stripes.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yes, yes, absolutely, no, no, nope, nope, I need I
need to hear more compelling argument than just yes.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
The White Stripes and Jack White, what they have done
for music and how they pushed that form of rock
music forward was transcended at a time when rock music
largely was not making or crossing over to pop radio.
It was relegated to just rock stations. When the White
(21:34):
Stripes came out pop radio stations and they started getting
more recognition, bands across the board started getting more mainstream recognition,
and that is because of the White Stripes and what
Jack White did. Also crossing over with different rap groups,
different pop groups period as just a prolific producer.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yes, absolutely, Sound Garden. Are we kidding? Yes, that's yes. Yeah.
Look I will sing Black Hole Sun.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
To the Day I die, or any of the interpretations
of it be a jazz gospel. There's so many different
interpretations of just that one song.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Fish p H, I s H. Of course.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I was never a fan of Fish, but I will
listen to the argument as far as their influence. I'm
lukewarm on Fish. I was gonna say, I have to
listen to an argument for that one. I have none, Okay,
all right, So that's one we're kind of in agreement on.
It's like someone's got to make an argument outcast. Yes, yes, absolutely.
(22:38):
In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, here we
go again. See we did this last year. I gave
the explainer in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Oh I was listening. I just mark the thumbs down. Mark.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
There's more people than Frank Sinatra. You know that, right, Mark?
I thank you Mark.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
In terms of music, what Outcasts did, not only for
the Atlanta music scene, for Southern rap period, and what
they did for just music in general. What Andre three
thousand and Big Boy have done to contribute to the
growth and proliferate oration of hip hop around the world.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I don't know if there's a big rap duo in
the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Earlier Transcend, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
I mean, it's not the hill I want to die on.
But I think the average person would be hard pressed
to name a handful of their great Oh you'd be wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Hey, hey, yeah, all right.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
All the songs that you know that you don't even
know is them? Yeah, I bet there's that's probably true.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
There are a bunch. They are a bunch of hits
they've had.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Do they belong alongside Elvis and the Stones and all
those guys?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yes? Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And that's a no. I look,
I'm sorry, it's not in your rotation.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Yes, okay, sorry again for me, it's consequential, cultural impact,
influential checks all those boxes.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Next one. Oasis, absolutely not. I can only think of
one song.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
I say yes because of how culturally relevant, how popular
they were in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
They were everywhere.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You couldn't do anything without hearing an Oasis songs, Oasis
video Beyond Wonderwall, and their feud was legendary. Put them
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their
feud alone.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
They're still feuding.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
They tried to get back together and they started fighting
on something.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
The reunion to put it in the Jerry Springer Hall
of Fame, not the Rock and roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Okay, and I'll claim ignorance on this next one. Manah, yes,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Now here's the thing. I'm okay, So I'm not a
mana fan. However, I do know that they sell out
wherever they go. They go over to the Forum and
they sell out multiple times a year.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
They are Spanish rock.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Tomorrow to Barx point. They're like the Rolling Stones of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
It's not the one with the muppets going no no, no.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No no.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
I thought that instantly. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Expand your minds, guys.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Okay, Joy Division Slash New Order, Oh definitely, excuse me, Okay,
make the argument please, You're very influential, uh new wave band.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I know their new wave.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
I'm just saying, I don't know what's the argument, like,
what what what is the what is the song that
we could say was consequential.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Influential Monday? Yeah, okay, yep, I know it's talking about
but that's on the song that.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
I know, terrific I mean it wouldn't that qualify under
the one Hit Wonder Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Like, wouldn't that exclude that? I said, I can only
name one that was just me one sounds like a
one hay Wonder. I'm just I'm just curious.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Mark.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I don't know that song enough for it to be
a thing. But you said it so quickly. I'm like,
man like Mark.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
No, well, one song is a thing. I just don't
know beyond the one.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
I'm not a scholar of their whole discography, but they
were giants of the eighties, all right.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Can we at least agree on Cyndy Lapper, Yes, yeah,
everybody loves Yeah, Okay. Can we agree on Billy Idol?
Yes already.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Right when you said that, I thought you were saying, like,
are we just throwing our names that are already?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
And then we can agree on White Wedding.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Absolutely, Joe Cocker yes, Chubby Checker yes, wow?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Bad do you say sure like that? What was that? Well?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
No, No, I agree, I agree Bad Company.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Maybe I need someone else to make the argument for him.
I don't know. I'm on the fence.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
The Black Crows, I'd say, yes, yeah, definitely Mariah Carey.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Yes, for influence for that one song alone.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yes, looks she has two many hits to even nam
culturally relevant obviously for more than thirty years.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, absolutely, I think we pretty.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Much agreed on most of them. With the sception of
Mark Ronner, an outcast I mean left.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Talk about I don't know music.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
He is the outcast in this well done.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Yeah, it's not the only time I think it's fun
when you guys try to gang up on.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Me, gang up on you. You basically said throw rocks
at me, please. You asked for it. It's like a
Reddit roast me. You put the sign on your own back.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Good sir, get get the easy ones right, my goodness,
you like what you like.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
This is not about what we like, It's about what
you like.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
No, they are artists on this list that I don't
particularly care for, Like I'm not. I would not call
myself a Black Crows fan, but I can't deny their
impact and cultural relevance and consequences two different things.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
I think the Black Crows are marginal. I don't have
anything against him, but I don't think they're giants of
rock roll.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
There you go, you keep qualifying it giants of rock
and roll. It's not rock and roll genre specific. There's
no need to be pedanic. You know what I mean
when I say giants of rock and roll. Yeah, that's
the part of the damn. The criteria is not reserved
for only rock genre.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
I just I think the bars kind of lowered here
for inclusion into this Hall of fame.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
You call it a sy what you mean? Say what
you mean? The Black crows er d.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
You got me, you busted me?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I am six forty and.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Before we go, I just have a basic question, and
it's for everyone in the studio because it kind of
informs my final thought tonight, Stephen, do you find yourself
getting stressed because of political conversations that you may have
with someone or online? I would say generally no, Okay,
(29:00):
Ronnor what about you the state of politics today?
Speaker 9 (29:03):
I think you know the answer to that, Okay, without
even asking, well, I thought I would ask you for
public you know, the only way not to be stressed
is not to pay attention.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
It's a stressful time, Okay. Tiffany Hobbs, what about you?
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
And everything seems to take on a political tone, even
when you're trying to avoid it.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
So yes, it can be stressful.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
It kind of informs my final remarks tonight, and I
want to put it within that context. If you find
yourself being more stressed out because of politics, researchers have
actually quantified that as to why. And I often say,
when I'm not working, I don't talk about politics.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I'll post some snark on social media.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
I will from time to time, but I don't always,
and I don't want to go deep with people because
it begins to stress me out. It absolutely stresses me out,
which is almost a contradiction. But all of my TV work,
if you've been paying attention, is political, and some of
my radio work is too, so I need some time
to balance that out. There's a national survey on stressors
(30:07):
conducted by the American Psychological Association or APA for twenty
twenty four found that the future of the nation or
politics was the leading cause of significant stress among adults,
with nearly eight in ten seventy seven percent reporting it
as a major source of anxiety. And here are some
of the other takeaways from this and other comparable studies.
(30:29):
Everyday political events can cause harmed psychological and to our
physical well being. In fact, politics can harm people's well
being as much or more than Get this alcohol. A
study conducted in twenty seventeen estimated that ninety four million
Americans felt politics caused significant stress, forty four million lost sleep,
(30:52):
thirty million suffered physical health harm, and eleven million had
suicidal thoughts. Effects comparable two or worse than those associated
with alcohol, except none of the buzz or none of
the great sex.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Connected to it. That's just my little addentum.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
In short, our politics is killing us.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
The multiple studies concluded not only are politics related well
being issues worsened for many in recent years, political polarization
is linked with worse anxiety and depression. And here's my
takeaway and what I give to you. If the country
is going to hell, and we all have our theories
as to why or whether it is or who is responsible,
(31:38):
here's the truth. You won't have any real say in
it or saving it. I know you think that posting
on social media is going to make a difference, but
I'm here to tell you it will not. I know
that if you think if you insult enough people in
real life or in cyberspace. It's going to make a difference.
It will not. It's not going to change. Either the
(32:00):
country is going to go to hell or it won't
go to hell. This is my recommendation. Do like I
do and know when to let it go. It's not
worth your health, it's not worth your peace, and most importantly,
it's not worth your life.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
No wind to just let it go. For KF, I
am six forty, I'm o Kelly, perfect for achy indecisive minds.
