KFI Later with mo Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Tiffany Hobbs, let me just first say, fantastic job while
I was away.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
You made sure that Mark did not wreck the bus.
Came back, the studio was in one piece.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We got kind of close, but you know, we were
able to pull it together. We didn't want it.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
At least you didn't end up as part of the
viral load.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It almost. It got very close on Monday, but we
held it together.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, we kept talking about tampons on Monday. Was that Mark? Okay,
that's what I thought. I don't even remember that conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yes, I'm not going to repeat it because you said.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Something to the fact of Mark, you know, pull back.
Oh I remember now, No, no, no, I remember.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
We were talking about profiling uh and getting profiled when
when you take your stuff through the checkout at the
grocery store.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Uh huh. Yes, and Mark had some anecdotes about that,
including tampons. So instead of getting into that story.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
Let's.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Let's revisit that.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Let's not let's go into something equally assorted at this
At this point, there's a story that is viral everywhere.
It involves bank fraud, TikTok and very dumb young people.
What am I talking about? The Chase Bank fraud TikTok
(01:59):
scale that's been heard around the world.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
It's not a scam. It's just dumb.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's just dumb. It's an attempted scam. But because these
are not very sophisticated people or thinkers, it's just dumb,
very much the Darwin Awards, if you will. So when
it comes to this story again, it's viral on TikTok
and what happened is there's a glitch at Chase Bank
and a bunch of TikTokers somehow found out that you
(02:26):
can use the digital platform for Chase Bank, take a
picture of a check that you write to yourself, attempt
to what is it deposit this check, and you cancel
the check before it actually clears. The check is not
going to clear because you're writing it with money that
you don't have. But Chase somehow allowed these checks to
(02:49):
slip through a very slim loophole and many people were
able to deposit upwards of two hundred five twenty five
thousand dollars into their accounts momentarily momentarily, and the moment
literally was maybe over the course of hours, if that
at the most. And while these people were celebrating their
(03:10):
new inflated bank accounts, what they didn't know is that
Chase was following their every move, tracking everything, and undoing
all of these attempted fraudulent deposits. And when they did
zero in on these accounts, they immediately rescinded the deposit,
revoked it, and then debited the accounts basically for the
(03:33):
money that was there. They then had these negative accounts.
People who had deposited these large sums of money saw
their accounts drop well below zero into the tens of
thousands of dollars in back money Oh to Chase.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Not counting overdraft.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Not counting overdraft. Of course, this is just the monies
that they were depositing. And because of that, these TikTokers,
who originally had celebrated their vicar and being able to
deposit this money, which is the first mistake of many
why would you put it online? But they wanted to
do that it's attention seeking behavior. That's a part of virality,
(04:12):
as we've been learning. They put it online, they got embarrassed,
and then you would think it would stop there. No,
they actually recorded themselves showing these negative accounts, because you
have to show the full story or else it's not
I guess a good TikTok. I'm not sure. So they
showed the full story that their accounts were now in
the red. They were shamed. They were just completely surprised
(04:38):
and not knowing how to undo this. These people are
now on the hook for all of this money. There's
another part to this. At some point during this last
weekend when this story broke, people lined up at Chase
banks around the country to try and do this scam.
So if you were driving by a Chase bank, if
(04:58):
you were trying to go so to a Chase bank,
you might have noticed longer lines than usual. You might
even notice that there may be more restrictions on your
account and depositing abilities on the digital app. It's all
because they're trying to still undo this attempted fraud.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
There's another proportion to this.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Not only did they engage in bank fraud and wire fraud,
they memorialized it online with the evidence to make sure
if they want to press charges that they would be
convicted of both which are federal felonies.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yes, stupid, dumb viral load story perfect for us to
share on KFI because this is what's out there. And
if you didn't know, now you know. Second story is
something else that is very frustrating if you're a traveler.
If you fly, you know going through the security lines
is already a hassle. If you don't have the passes
(05:57):
that allow you to go through quickly, then you're in
line with the rest of us loading your things into
these gray binds so that they can go through the scanning. Well,
now there's a new phenomenon again on TikTok and it's
called quote the new digital flex. And what it is
is people are using these gray bins that you load
(06:17):
your computers into, you put your shoes into, your other
items from your bag into before you put it through
the X ray machine. They're loading these gray bins very meticulously,
very carefully to curate and experience. What do I mean
by this. They're taking out their lipstick, if it's someone
(06:38):
who's into makeup, all of their makeup items and they're
placing it in the bin very carefully, taking the time
holding up the line behind them so that they can
get a perfect picture of all of their items carefully
placed in these gray bins. It might be sports equipment,
it might be again makeup or personal items. It could
(06:59):
be in thing that people want to show online as
being something that they have in their bag for likes,
for clicks, for clout. It's the new digital flex and
it's irritating flyers everywhere.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
What's the visual value of showing what's in my toiletries
bag or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
There's something about the gray backdrop being a contrast to
more colorful items or just items in general, and so
this gray backdrop really is the kind of focal point.
They're putting their things in there, and they're spacing it
out again very carefully, so you can see each individual item.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
The first person who does that, and I'm in the line,
I promise you there's going to be a misunderstanding.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
There's going to be a scene.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
They're literally holding up lines for minutes and minutes, and
the TSA workers are starting to get wind of this
because it has become such a large or a popular trend.
So if you're in line at these airports and you're
noticing that they're taking longer than usual, or you're seeing
people really trying to place things. They likely are engaging
in this new photo opportunity with the Gray Bends.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Social media is going to be the death of us.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Social media is absolutely our entry way into all things bad.
The next story comes along with audio, and I'm not
going to get into it just yet, because this audio
is worth playing on its own. But just no, should
you ever be out on the open ocean like mo
Kelly and Tuala just were this past weekend, and you're
(08:37):
out there without the protection of a huge cruise ship,
You're brave. You're just out there in the ocean for
some reason. You very well may come into contact with
a large well, specifically a sperm well, and that well
may just swallow you. And I'll tell you what happens
if you get swallowed by a sperm whale when we
(08:58):
come back for the second part of the viral load.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Sperm whale Swallow Punk.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Dude spent on that night.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No It's sun My Room Moment Tiffany Live on campis
Lasa with mo o Kelly.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
She'll talk about the time this on social media. FI
roolone with Tiffany.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Hobbs, can't f I mo' kelly live Everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Let's get to the second portion of the
viral load with Tiffany hops Mo.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Have you ever gone well watching or seen a whale
crest while out looking at the ocean?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And yes it was nineteen eighty Arnold Elementary School in Torrance.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Hm. I've gone well watching once in middle school and
I saw nothing but the bottom of the trash can
because I have bad motion sick and not my sea legs.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
So good for you. Apologies.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
However, if you're ever again out on the open ocean,
you might encounter a whale and it will likely be
a sperm whale if you're in the Pacific Ocean. Well,
there's a new horrifying simulation that shows just what happens
to your body if you are swallowed by a whale.
There's a video showcasing this simulation that's gone viral on
(10:28):
many platforms, but especially on YouTube, and it's from the
Zach d Film's account. What is it? Well, the narrator says,
if you were swallowed by a sperm whale, you would
be squeezed down its massive throat. And the actual video
(10:48):
has a simulation, a digital simulation of presumably a man
being swallowed by a sperm whale, and it tells you
and shows you kind of a step by step situation
or if if you will, about what it might feel
like or look like. And the narrator goes on and says,
you'd continue down its esophagus and into a series of
(11:12):
stomach chambers that are filled with digestive acids. These acids
would immediately start breaking down your body. But even if
you managed to avoid the acid, the lack of air
inside the whale would quickly cause you to suffocate.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Can I just skip to the end and say it'd
be a horrible death?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well, not everyone dies, which is what leads into why
I chose this story. And while this clip, this digital
simulation has gone viral on YouTube, it is directly correlating
with a man who actually survived being swallowed by a whale.
And we're gonna have to go to a clip in
one moment, but just know that this man Michael Packard
(11:51):
in twenty twenty one, was diving in Massachusetts when he
was scooped up into the mouth of a hump back whale.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
For it foush.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
I just got hit by It felt like a mac
truck and everything went black.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Just home from a brief stay in the hospital, Michael
Packard still cannot believe he's alive.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
And all I could feel is just muscle and skin
all around me. I couldn't see anything, and I could
feel the movement of the whale swimming, and I was
in total shock.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Michael was diving off his lobster boat near Provincetown. He
says he was in that whale's mouth for a good
twenty to thirty seconds before the whale surfaced and spit
him out.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
And then all of a sudden, I saw a light
and I was thrown from his mouth. He was shaking
his head trying to eject me out of his mouth, and.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
All of a sudden, I see Mike feet first come out.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Of the water like this.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I never heard of anything like this.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Scientists are astounded by the encounter of biblical proportions. They
think the humpback was probably feeding on small fish. The
area that the golping is enormous, and it just so
happened that that volume of order included Michael says he
thought about his wife and two sons in the jaws
(13:08):
of that whale. Just thankful he's home with them again.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
As soon as I landed in the water and was
floating there and excruciating pain, I was like, oh my god,
I'm alive.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
So you mean, Michael, he is in some pain. He's
got some bumps and bruises.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
May not die. You get swallowed by a whale, you
may not die. You may live through it like Michael
Packard and be able to tell the tale of being
swallowed by a whale.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
If I end up in a whale's mouth for whatever reasons,
it's my fault.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It will do and spitch out, fuck dude, and spit
on that night.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yeah, look, just just chop me up as dead if
a whale swallows me up.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I'm not trying to.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't know the fact that he was in the
whale's mouth for an estimated thirty to forty seconds.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
That's a long ass time. Okay.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Have you heard commercials on the station? Thirty seconds a
long time?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, And I say that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Completely dark. By the way, when you're in there. Not
that I've been in there, but.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I have to assume unless the whales mouth is open,
it's not like there's a light source.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Okay, smarty pants, gosh, dude, spent on that night here
last story. There have been pictures circulating of Robert de
Niro on the internet. Love Robert de Niro, fantastic, thespian
of the highest order. But what people are talking about
is not his acting ability. No, they're talking about the
(14:38):
size of his ears. And these pictures have gone viral
because someone posted a picture of Robert de Niro back
when he was in his twenties and Robert de Niro
now that he's in his eighties, and the side by
side profiles do, in fact show a big disparity between
(14:58):
the size of his ear in his twenties and the
ears in his eighties. This is not news, This is
not breaking ground within Your ears grow your whole life,
I thought, But again, this is social media, and the
reason it's non viral is because there are there's a
whole generation of people who were unaware that your ears
(15:21):
actually grow over the course of your life. People were
thinking that your ears more or less stay the same.
So I have some statistics and some facts for some
of you. Back in June of nineteen ninety three, some
testing happened, some research happened, and this group of medical
professionals picked two hundred and six patients over the age
(15:44):
of thirty to study. They studied these students or these
patients over the course of over twenty years, in which
they were able to find that ears do in fact
grow an average of zero point twenty two millimeters per year,
which is the equivalent to one centimeter or half an inch.
(16:04):
Ears grow a half an inch per year. That is
not cavent gard.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Well, it can't be a half an inch per year,
because in twenty years your ears would be like ten inches.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, hey, depending on how small your ears are
when you start.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
MO, I guess size does matter. Fuck, dude, spit on that.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Then here, I'm not the medical professional here, I'm just
reading the studies. So I don't know where they gathered
these people from, but they have some fast growing ears,
and so they were able to conclude at the very
least that our ears do grow much quicker than we
might even understand. So Robert de Niro's ears being larger
than they were when he was in his twenties, is
(16:42):
in fact true, and he's still Robert de Niro, one
of the greatest of all time, regardless.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
It's weird.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Look, I know, from generation to generation, the newer generation
always thinks that they've discovered something, they found out something,
You know, that they have found the miracle of life
that the previous generation did not.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
But a lot of this is well known science. I
think your nose grows as well.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
It does, and at this rate all of us are
going to be Dumbo probably soon if you live long enough,
if you're lucky enough to live long enough, your ears
will grow and so will your nose.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Get over it.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
No no more whale anecdotes.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
No more sperm whale anecdotes, no more tampon anecdotes, Mark Ronner,
no more any of that.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
We're done. No more hawk toua, no more hawk tua
at all. Okay, I'll leave her out of this.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Welcome to MO on the Movies, right, don't be ridiculous, darling,
it's MO on the Movies. Well, not a chance.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
We're talking about.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
KFI MO Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
As I get older, I thoroughly enjoy good and let
me emphasize good documentaries. And I'm also realizing as I
get older, I'm watching documentaries which overlap with my life
in some way. I've lived long enough where I may
(18:17):
remember some aspects of the documentary in my life, and
it kind of fills in the gaps and blanks, and
you get to see something that you thought you knew
just a little bit differently, and you know it a
lot better, or you have a better perspective. Case in point,
on Peacock. There is a new documentary called Gary, which
(18:40):
is about the life and times and untimely death of
Gary Coleman, arguably the greatest child actor of all time, arguably,
and they go into that talk about his impact on
popular culture, the degree of his superstardom, at least for
the television medium. And if you don't know or don't
(19:03):
remember him, he was the star of the Norman Lear.
He didn't produce it, but he was part of the
development of it. The sitcom Different Strokes, in which you
had two black kids who were adopted by a white,
very rich man, and this was like nineteen eighty one.
They lived in Upper West Side, New York and the
(19:24):
show for its time was both a hit and very controversial,
very controversial, and they talk about the hate mail that
the show received from both sides, from black people and
white people, and what they thought the show was actually
doing for race relations.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
But also it talked about how.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Gary Coleman his beginning, how he had a kidney transplant
at five years old, and what he had to endure
each day for the rest of his life where he
he did not have a function in kidney from age
maybe twelve to forty two at the time of his death,
which is from what I know of, just about what
the hell that Tawalla Sharp has gone through and his
(20:10):
kidney transplant, It's like, how is that even possible?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So you get to see a side of him, their
handwritten letters. There is a lot of home movies thinks
that you would have never seen before.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
But what makes this documentary so good, and that's the
only word I can really think of, is they have
all of the key people who were in his life.
Both his mother and father who are still living participated
in it. His ex wife who was there at the
time of his death is in this documentary. Who sat
(20:45):
down and gave extensive interviews his previous business manager and lawyer,
all the key people who are responsible for anything good
and bad which happened to him, who are still alive.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Todd Bridges is also in it.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You get a real sense of what it was like
on set and what it was like in his life.
And not to give it all the way because it's
no big secret how the story and it is. It
is a truly tragic and sad, sad story.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
The kid was a true star.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Different Strokes as a groundbreaking show. The audience loved Gary.
If he had a.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Spirit about him, he was always an entertainer. If someone
had told me my life would have been like.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
This early enough where I could have got out old,
he got.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
On the actress, parents and business advisors skimmed some of
his earnings.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
They took seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars and gave
it to themselves.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
I'd have taken that very deeply to heart.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
He said, I just wanted to say goodbye. I cannot
take this anymore, and we cried. His life was raw
with disappointments from nineteen eighty five until his death he
lived with not a single kidney.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Fully wanted was to find somebody who he could love.
Their relationship was tumultuous before the death of Gary Coleman
was suspicious.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I don't know what I can say without damn.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Soon people think that I did this. But because I'm
the ex wife, I'm the evil person, right.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
His life is a cautionary tale, A.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Big man in this little kid's body, the greatest child
actor of all times, for.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Sure, performers that change their lives.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Who was one of them?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Highly recommend, highly recommend. And for me, Gary Coleman. When
I say he was a contemporary, I'm saying we're He's
only like a year older than me, so I'm growing
up as he is growing up. And when I was
a child, Yeah, I want to live the life of
Gary Coleman, to be a superstar at my age, whatever
(23:08):
that was, and have your own TV show. I remember
when he first appeared on Good Times, and that was
my introduction to him. He had a guest starring role
in an episode of Good Times, and then that eventually
led to different strokes. And you knew about the issues
with the money if you were alive at that time
and you knew about his health struggles if you were
alive at that time, but you didn't know the depths
(23:31):
of I would call the depravity of his parents. And
everyone involved gave their sides of the story, but the
way it was presented in the documentary it was so
even handed. It's one of the few times I felt
they're really leaving it up to you to form an opinion.
One of the central figures is one of his best friends, Dion,
(23:52):
who grew up with him and was on the fringes
of the entertainment industry and eventually became his business manager.
But he had these photos he had I guess he's
almost like an executor of the state. He had access
to all of this memorabilia, handwritten notes, home movies which
were used in this, and you get to see a
side of Gary Coleman, f bombs and all that you
(24:14):
just never saw.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
The synchronicity of this is really weird to me, and
I hate to suggest this, but I think you and
I might have some kind of weird psychic link because before,
right before you told me that you'd seen this, one
of the movie people that I follow and interact with
and have exchanged movie information with says they tracked down
this highly sought after Gary Coleman nineteen eighty five TV
(24:37):
movie called Playing with Fire?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Do you remember this only by name? Never saw it?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Well, it's young Gary Coleman as a teenage arsonist pyromaniac
and this thing like Officionados have been trying to find
this thing for a year and it turned up in
one of the forums that I look in for rare movies.
So I need to see this documentary.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Yeah. I learned a lot about someone I knew.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I learned more about his marriage, his relationships with not
only his family but women. I don't want to give
too much away because I want people to see it,
but there is an emotional journey that he went on
where you can only be sad for him at the end.
He is a much more sympathetic person, I believe than
(25:22):
how he was portrayed in the media.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
There are a number of people who died early like that,
who were so promising, who had health struggles that maybe
we never really knew about or fully understood the extent of.
Like I think of Michael dund You know who that was, No,
I don't. He played doctor Migolito Loveless on the Wild
Wild West. He was a dwarf, and he was just
plagued with health problems. And so just when you find
(25:46):
out what some of these people endure, the sheer nerve
and courage that they showed by just showing up to
work every day and putting on a good face, it's
outright heroic.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Well, I will say this as someone who idolized Gary
Coleman and wanted to be at least live that life.
From what I know now watching that documentary, there's no
way in the world, no way in hell, I would
have wanted his life at any point and at any stage.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I need to see this right away.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Before we get out here, I have to remind you
about the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carson, which is
part of the Boys and Girls Club of America movement.
They provide outcome based after school, during school and summer
programming to youth ages six through eighteen years old. Boys

be part of the festivities. You can get all the
(27:07):
information at BGC Carson dot org. Again, that's bg C
Carson dot org and hopefully I'll see you Saturday night,
October fifth at SOFI Stadium.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Earlier in the show, I.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Was talking about how I was I was frustrated at
streaming platforms where you'd have commercials and then you'd try
to watch something and then they have commercials and if
you would pause, you'd have a commercial staring back at
you or some sort of advertisement.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I was talking last segment about Gary.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
If you didn't know, I gave a raving review of
the documentary Gary, which is about the life and death
of Gary Coleman, the former Child Superstar actor, And that
was one of the drawbacks for me, and it took
away from some of the enjoyment of the experience because
the ads were obtrusive, Like I pushed pause because I
(28:03):
wanted to see if there was any extra information about
the scene like they do with Amazon Prime.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
No, they don't do that. They just serve up an ad.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
And so whether whereas I recommend Gary the documentary on Peacock,
I don't exactly recommend Peacock extremely platform itself. So I
know that sounds like I'm compartmentalizing, but there's a distinction
to be made. I think I would have loved it anymore,
even more if we're uninterrupted all together.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
I actually just canceled my Peacock subscription because they'll offer
you specials. I got it for like two dollars a
month for six months. But if it shoots back up
to six or seven bucks.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Nope, no they are.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
They've already announced it's going to shoot back up because
of the all the Olympics stuff.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
We did the story and they had raised the prices
specifically because of the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Peacock is worth maybe two bucks a month to me,
certainly not more. And I originally canceled it because they
dumped Maddie Hassen and I was a fan of his journalism.
So no way am I paying six or seven bucks
a month for Peacock.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah, it is mostly they have obviously documentary and some
long form content in some movies. But I'm not looking
at Peacock for just about anything. I was looking for
the documentary because I heard about the documentary and they said, oh,
it's available on Peacock. That was the only reason I
wasn't looking for it on Peacock. I was looking for
(29:27):
the documentary because I heard about it, and you know,
I had to go to the Peacock.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yeah, it really makes you wonder how long Peacock's going
to be around, at least in its current form, because
what do you go there regularly for? What do you
count on it for? I mean some special events, maybe
some sporting things, but I just randomly, you know, if
I'm cruising around and think, all right, let's see what's
on Peacock, you know what, It's not my destination most nights.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And the only reason my household has it is my
wife is addicted to Bravo and so all the reality
shows are on Peacock. That is why she watches it,
and that's why I am able to watch it.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I'm not paying for that stuff.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Well, like what reality shows, all the the Real Housewives.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Real Housewives of everything.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
But the for me I see Peacock's on of mine
because yeah, to the point, to Mark's point, there's not
a lot of new stuff, but I feel like they
are the ones that get the newest movies earliest, and
there's plenty of how much Mark likes to be I
like to watch reruns, and I feel like they have
a broad spectrum of different they shows from different networks,
(30:36):
like you know, I mean it's just surprisingly someone just
as an example, like everybody loves Raymond that's CBS, but
it's on Peacock. So it's just like, yeah, they have everything.
So yeah, all old.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
TV shows, Like I found myself watching Good Times again
because right after Yep, the Gary Coleman a documentary ended,
it just went right over into the seventies and eighties TV.
They knew, No, it's a simple algorithm. If you like this,
you'll like that. They weren't wrong.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
I might be wrong, but I feel like I was
flipping through there a couple of nights ago, and they
had six million dollar Man Koleshak, the Knightstalker, some Alfred Hitchcock,
lots of really great old stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Yeah, so it's not bad. Feel sorry.
Speaker 11 (31:14):
The other reason I bought the higher tier it is because,
like you guys are talking about the commercials. The most
annoying thing when I first got Peacock is if you
just want to rewind right before the commercial break and
you don't hit it just right, it'll just play it again.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
You got to watch a whole commercial break. That's what
thing just takes away from the experiences enough. So I
just paid for the ad free because I can't. Yeah,
that's all point they want to be annoying.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Yeah, yeah, but they have to come up with whether
or not you're gonna What is the point where you
decide either to pay more or rage quit?
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Because I rage quit, Well that's for you to decide.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I don't have to make that decision because it's on
my wife's credit card, because I'm not paying for the
Shawls of Sunset or the Real Housewives of.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Salt Lake City, a real show.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Yeah yeah, well the Potomac there's like twelve of them.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
The only reason I know that is because every time
I come home they're on the freaking TV.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
It's recently watched or you know, going through your So
I didn't choose to watch that.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Don't use my account, you know, because I should say
my profile because then all of a sudden, it thinks that.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I want to see that, So you have to sister wives.
I knew it. Not, I always knew it.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I knew every time I come home, especially on the weekend,
she is on the couch watching the latest of whatever
those shows, and I can't get into them.
Speaker 11 (32:34):
And Mark was right, they do have He's not right.
He's never right about a lot of killing is. They
have a lot of sports events exclusively that only they
can stream, like the whole drama with the football game
a few months ago, but like they have wrestling, and
obviously they had the Olympics, So I know.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I think there's a real house husband's there is there.
You go, I'm not watching that either. I'm not watching
any of that. Yeah, are going to watch that stuff

Speaker 5 (00:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
You made sure that Mark did not wreck the bus.
Came back, the studio was in one piece.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We got kind of close, but you know, we were
able to pull it together. We didn't want it.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
At least you didn't end up as part of the
viral load.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It almost. It got very close on Monday, but we
held it together.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, we kept talking about tampons on Monday. Was that Mark? Okay,
that's what I thought. I don't even remember that conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yes, I'm not going to repeat it because you said.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Something to the fact of Mark, you know, pull back.
Oh I remember now, No, no, no, I remember.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
We were talking about profiling uh and getting profiled when
when you take your stuff through the checkout at the
grocery store.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Uh huh. Yes, and Mark had some anecdotes about that,
including tampons. So instead of getting into that story.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
Let's.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Let's revisit that.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Let's not let's go into something equally assorted at this
At this point, there's a story that is viral everywhere.
It involves bank fraud, TikTok and very dumb young people.
What am I talking about? The Chase Bank fraud TikTok
(01:59):
scale that's been heard around the world.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
It's not a scam. It's just dumb.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's just dumb. It's an attempted scam. But because these
are not very sophisticated people or thinkers, it's just dumb,
very much the Darwin Awards, if you will. So when
it comes to this story again, it's viral on TikTok
and what happened is there's a glitch at Chase Bank
and a bunch of TikTokers somehow found out that you
(02:26):
can use the digital platform for Chase Bank, take a
picture of a check that you write to yourself, attempt
to what is it deposit this check, and you cancel
the check before it actually clears. The check is not
going to clear because you're writing it with money that
you don't have. But Chase somehow allowed these checks to
(02:49):
slip through a very slim loophole and many people were
able to deposit upwards of two hundred five twenty five
thousand dollars into their accounts momentarily momentarily, and the moment
literally was maybe over the course of hours, if that
at the most. And while these people were celebrating their
(03:10):
new inflated bank accounts, what they didn't know is that
Chase was following their every move, tracking everything, and undoing
all of these attempted fraudulent deposits. And when they did
zero in on these accounts, they immediately rescinded the deposit,
revoked it, and then debited the accounts basically for the
(03:33):
money that was there. They then had these negative accounts.
People who had deposited these large sums of money saw
their accounts drop well below zero into the tens of
thousands of dollars in back money Oh to Chase.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Not counting overdraft.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Not counting overdraft. Of course, this is just the monies
that they were depositing. And because of that, these TikTokers,
who originally had celebrated their vicar and being able to
deposit this money, which is the first mistake of many
why would you put it online? But they wanted to
do that it's attention seeking behavior. That's a part of virality,
(04:12):
as we've been learning. They put it online, they got embarrassed,
and then you would think it would stop there. No,
they actually recorded themselves showing these negative accounts, because you
have to show the full story or else it's not
I guess a good TikTok. I'm not sure. So they
showed the full story that their accounts were now in
the red. They were shamed. They were just completely surprised
(04:38):
and not knowing how to undo this. These people are
now on the hook for all of this money. There's
another part to this. At some point during this last
weekend when this story broke, people lined up at Chase
banks around the country to try and do this scam.
So if you were driving by a Chase bank, if
(04:58):
you were trying to go so to a Chase bank,
you might have noticed longer lines than usual. You might
even notice that there may be more restrictions on your
account and depositing abilities on the digital app. It's all
because they're trying to still undo this attempted fraud.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
There's another proportion to this.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Not only did they engage in bank fraud and wire fraud,
they memorialized it online with the evidence to make sure
if they want to press charges that they would be
convicted of both which are federal felonies.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yes, stupid, dumb viral load story perfect for us to
share on KFI because this is what's out there. And
if you didn't know, now you know. Second story is
something else that is very frustrating if you're a traveler.
If you fly, you know going through the security lines
is already a hassle. If you don't have the passes
(05:57):
that allow you to go through quickly, then you're in
line with the rest of us loading your things into
these gray binds so that they can go through the scanning. Well,
now there's a new phenomenon again on TikTok and it's
called quote the new digital flex. And what it is
is people are using these gray bins that you load
(06:17):
your computers into, you put your shoes into, your other
items from your bag into before you put it through
the X ray machine. They're loading these gray bins very meticulously,
very carefully to curate and experience. What do I mean
by this. They're taking out their lipstick, if it's someone
(06:38):
who's into makeup, all of their makeup items and they're
placing it in the bin very carefully, taking the time
holding up the line behind them so that they can
get a perfect picture of all of their items carefully
placed in these gray bins. It might be sports equipment,
it might be again makeup or personal items. It could
(06:59):
be in thing that people want to show online as
being something that they have in their bag for likes,
for clicks, for clout. It's the new digital flex and
it's irritating flyers everywhere.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
What's the visual value of showing what's in my toiletries
bag or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
There's something about the gray backdrop being a contrast to
more colorful items or just items in general, and so
this gray backdrop really is the kind of focal point.
They're putting their things in there, and they're spacing it
out again very carefully, so you can see each individual item.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
The first person who does that, and I'm in the line,
I promise you there's going to be a misunderstanding.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
There's going to be a scene.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
They're literally holding up lines for minutes and minutes, and
the TSA workers are starting to get wind of this
because it has become such a large or a popular trend.
So if you're in line at these airports and you're
noticing that they're taking longer than usual, or you're seeing
people really trying to place things. They likely are engaging
in this new photo opportunity with the Gray Bends.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Social media is going to be the death of us.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Social media is absolutely our entry way into all things bad.
The next story comes along with audio, and I'm not
going to get into it just yet, because this audio
is worth playing on its own. But just no, should
you ever be out on the open ocean like mo
Kelly and Tuala just were this past weekend, and you're
(08:37):
out there without the protection of a huge cruise ship,
You're brave. You're just out there in the ocean for
some reason. You very well may come into contact with
a large well, specifically a sperm well, and that well
may just swallow you. And I'll tell you what happens
if you get swallowed by a sperm whale when we
(08:58):
come back for the second part of the viral load.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Sperm whale Swallow Punk.
Speaker 6 (09:02):

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Hobbs, can't f I mo' kelly live Everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Let's get to the second portion of the
viral load with Tiffany hops Mo.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Have you ever gone well watching or seen a whale
crest while out looking at the ocean?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And yes it was nineteen eighty Arnold Elementary School in Torrance.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Hm. I've gone well watching once in middle school and
I saw nothing but the bottom of the trash can
because I have bad motion sick and not my sea legs.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
So good for you. Apologies.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
However, if you're ever again out on the open ocean,
you might encounter a whale and it will likely be
a sperm whale if you're in the Pacific Ocean. Well,
there's a new horrifying simulation that shows just what happens
to your body if you are swallowed by a whale.
There's a video showcasing this simulation that's gone viral on
(10:28):
many platforms, but especially on YouTube, and it's from the
Zach d Film's account. What is it? Well, the narrator says,
if you were swallowed by a sperm whale, you would
be squeezed down its massive throat. And the actual video
(10:48):
has a simulation, a digital simulation of presumably a man
being swallowed by a sperm whale, and it tells you
and shows you kind of a step by step situation
or if if you will, about what it might feel
like or look like. And the narrator goes on and says,
you'd continue down its esophagus and into a series of
(11:12):
stomach chambers that are filled with digestive acids. These acids
would immediately start breaking down your body. But even if
you managed to avoid the acid, the lack of air
inside the whale would quickly cause you to suffocate.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Can I just skip to the end and say it'd
be a horrible death?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well, not everyone dies, which is what leads into why
I chose this story. And while this clip, this digital
simulation has gone viral on YouTube, it is directly correlating
with a man who actually survived being swallowed by a whale.
And we're gonna have to go to a clip in
one moment, but just know that this man Michael Packard
(11:51):
in twenty twenty one, was diving in Massachusetts when he
was scooped up into the mouth of a hump back whale.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
For it foush.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
I just got hit by It felt like a mac
truck and everything went black.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Just home from a brief stay in the hospital, Michael
Packard still cannot believe he's alive.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
And all I could feel is just muscle and skin
all around me. I couldn't see anything, and I could
feel the movement of the whale swimming, and I was
in total shock.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Michael was diving off his lobster boat near Provincetown. He
says he was in that whale's mouth for a good
twenty to thirty seconds before the whale surfaced and spit
him out.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
And then all of a sudden, I saw a light
and I was thrown from his mouth. He was shaking
his head trying to eject me out of his mouth, and.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
All of a sudden, I see Mike feet first come out.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Of the water like this.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I never heard of anything like this.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Scientists are astounded by the encounter of biblical proportions. They
think the humpback was probably feeding on small fish. The
area that the golping is enormous, and it just so
happened that that volume of order included Michael says he
thought about his wife and two sons in the jaws
(13:08):
of that whale. Just thankful he's home with them again.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
As soon as I landed in the water and was
floating there and excruciating pain, I was like, oh my god,
I'm alive.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
So you mean, Michael, he is in some pain. He's
got some bumps and bruises.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
May not die. You get swallowed by a whale, you
may not die. You may live through it like Michael
Packard and be able to tell the tale of being
swallowed by a whale.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
If I end up in a whale's mouth for whatever reasons,
it's my fault.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It will do and spitch out, fuck dude, and spit
on that night.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yeah, look, just just chop me up as dead if
a whale swallows me up.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I'm not trying to.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't know the fact that he was in the
whale's mouth for an estimated thirty to forty seconds.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
That's a long ass time. Okay.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Have you heard commercials on the station? Thirty seconds a
long time?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, And I say that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Completely dark. By the way, when you're in there. Not
that I've been in there, but.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I have to assume unless the whales mouth is open,
it's not like there's a light source.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Okay, smarty pants, gosh, dude, spent on that night here
last story. There have been pictures circulating of Robert de
Niro on the internet. Love Robert de Niro, fantastic, thespian
of the highest order. But what people are talking about
is not his acting ability. No, they're talking about the
(14:38):
size of his ears. And these pictures have gone viral
because someone posted a picture of Robert de Niro back
when he was in his twenties and Robert de Niro
now that he's in his eighties, and the side by
side profiles do, in fact show a big disparity between
(14:58):
the size of his ear in his twenties and the
ears in his eighties. This is not news, This is
not breaking ground within Your ears grow your whole life,
I thought, But again, this is social media, and the
reason it's non viral is because there are there's a
whole generation of people who were unaware that your ears
(15:21):
actually grow over the course of your life. People were
thinking that your ears more or less stay the same.
So I have some statistics and some facts for some
of you. Back in June of nineteen ninety three, some
testing happened, some research happened, and this group of medical
professionals picked two hundred and six patients over the age
(15:44):
of thirty to study. They studied these students or these
patients over the course of over twenty years, in which
they were able to find that ears do in fact
grow an average of zero point twenty two millimeters per year,
which is the equivalent to one centimeter or half an inch.
(16:04):
Ears grow a half an inch per year. That is
not cavent gard.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Well, it can't be a half an inch per year,
because in twenty years your ears would be like ten inches.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, hey, depending on how small your ears are
when you start.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
MO, I guess size does matter. Fuck, dude, spit on that.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Then here, I'm not the medical professional here, I'm just
reading the studies. So I don't know where they gathered
these people from, but they have some fast growing ears,
and so they were able to conclude at the very
least that our ears do grow much quicker than we
might even understand. So Robert de Niro's ears being larger
than they were when he was in his twenties, is
(16:42):
in fact true, and he's still Robert de Niro, one
of the greatest of all time, regardless.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
It's weird.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Look, I know, from generation to generation, the newer generation
always thinks that they've discovered something, they found out something,
You know, that they have found the miracle of life
that the previous generation did not.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
But a lot of this is well known science. I
think your nose grows as well.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
It does, and at this rate all of us are
going to be Dumbo probably soon if you live long enough,
if you're lucky enough to live long enough, your ears
will grow and so will your nose.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Get over it.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
No no more whale anecdotes.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
No more sperm whale anecdotes, no more tampon anecdotes, Mark Ronner,
no more any of that.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
We're done. No more hawk toua, no more hawk tua
at all. Okay, I'll leave her out of this.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Welcome to MO on the Movies, right, don't be ridiculous, darling,
it's MO on the Movies. Well, not a chance.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
We're talking about.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
KFI MO Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
As I get older, I thoroughly enjoy good and let
me emphasize good documentaries. And I'm also realizing as I
get older, I'm watching documentaries which overlap with my life
in some way. I've lived long enough where I may
(18:17):
remember some aspects of the documentary in my life, and
it kind of fills in the gaps and blanks, and
you get to see something that you thought you knew
just a little bit differently, and you know it a
lot better, or you have a better perspective. Case in point,
on Peacock. There is a new documentary called Gary, which
(18:40):
is about the life and times and untimely death of
Gary Coleman, arguably the greatest child actor of all time, arguably,
and they go into that talk about his impact on
popular culture, the degree of his superstardom, at least for
the television medium. And if you don't know or don't
(19:03):
remember him, he was the star of the Norman Lear.
He didn't produce it, but he was part of the
development of it. The sitcom Different Strokes, in which you
had two black kids who were adopted by a white,
very rich man, and this was like nineteen eighty one.
They lived in Upper West Side, New York and the
(19:24):
show for its time was both a hit and very controversial,
very controversial, and they talk about the hate mail that
the show received from both sides, from black people and
white people, and what they thought the show was actually
doing for race relations.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
But also it talked about how.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Gary Coleman his beginning, how he had a kidney transplant
at five years old, and what he had to endure
each day for the rest of his life where he
he did not have a function in kidney from age
maybe twelve to forty two at the time of his death,
which is from what I know of, just about what
the hell that Tawalla Sharp has gone through and his
(20:10):
kidney transplant, It's like, how is that even possible?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So you get to see a side of him, their
handwritten letters. There is a lot of home movies thinks
that you would have never seen before.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
But what makes this documentary so good, and that's the
only word I can really think of, is they have
all of the key people who were in his life.
Both his mother and father who are still living participated
in it. His ex wife who was there at the
time of his death is in this documentary. Who sat
(20:45):
down and gave extensive interviews his previous business manager and lawyer,
all the key people who are responsible for anything good
and bad which happened to him, who are still alive.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Todd Bridges is also in it.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You get a real sense of what it was like
on set and what it was like in his life.
And not to give it all the way because it's
no big secret how the story and it is. It
is a truly tragic and sad, sad story.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
The kid was a true star.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Different Strokes as a groundbreaking show. The audience loved Gary.
If he had a.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Spirit about him, he was always an entertainer. If someone
had told me my life would have been like.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
This early enough where I could have got out old,
he got.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
On the actress, parents and business advisors skimmed some of
his earnings.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
They took seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars and gave
it to themselves.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
I'd have taken that very deeply to heart.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
He said, I just wanted to say goodbye. I cannot
take this anymore, and we cried. His life was raw
with disappointments from nineteen eighty five until his death he
lived with not a single kidney.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Fully wanted was to find somebody who he could love.
Their relationship was tumultuous before the death of Gary Coleman
was suspicious.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I don't know what I can say without damn.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Soon people think that I did this. But because I'm
the ex wife, I'm the evil person, right.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
His life is a cautionary tale, A.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Big man in this little kid's body, the greatest child
actor of all times, for.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Sure, performers that change their lives.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Who was one of them?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Highly recommend, highly recommend. And for me, Gary Coleman. When
I say he was a contemporary, I'm saying we're He's
only like a year older than me, so I'm growing
up as he is growing up. And when I was
a child, Yeah, I want to live the life of
Gary Coleman, to be a superstar at my age, whatever
(23:08):
that was, and have your own TV show. I remember
when he first appeared on Good Times, and that was
my introduction to him. He had a guest starring role
in an episode of Good Times, and then that eventually
led to different strokes. And you knew about the issues
with the money if you were alive at that time
and you knew about his health struggles if you were
alive at that time, but you didn't know the depths
(23:31):
of I would call the depravity of his parents. And
everyone involved gave their sides of the story, but the
way it was presented in the documentary it was so
even handed. It's one of the few times I felt
they're really leaving it up to you to form an opinion.
One of the central figures is one of his best friends, Dion,
(23:52):
who grew up with him and was on the fringes
of the entertainment industry and eventually became his business manager.
But he had these photos he had I guess he's
almost like an executor of the state. He had access
to all of this memorabilia, handwritten notes, home movies which
were used in this, and you get to see a
side of Gary Coleman, f bombs and all that you
(24:14):
just never saw.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
The synchronicity of this is really weird to me, and
I hate to suggest this, but I think you and
I might have some kind of weird psychic link because before,
right before you told me that you'd seen this, one
of the movie people that I follow and interact with
and have exchanged movie information with says they tracked down
this highly sought after Gary Coleman nineteen eighty five TV
(24:37):
movie called Playing with Fire?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Do you remember this only by name? Never saw it?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Well, it's young Gary Coleman as a teenage arsonist pyromaniac
and this thing like Officionados have been trying to find
this thing for a year and it turned up in
one of the forums that I look in for rare movies.
So I need to see this documentary.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Yeah. I learned a lot about someone I knew.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I learned more about his marriage, his relationships with not
only his family but women. I don't want to give
too much away because I want people to see it,
but there is an emotional journey that he went on
where you can only be sad for him at the end.
He is a much more sympathetic person, I believe than
(25:22):
how he was portrayed in the media.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
There are a number of people who died early like that,
who were so promising, who had health struggles that maybe
we never really knew about or fully understood the extent of.
Like I think of Michael dund You know who that was, No,
I don't. He played doctor Migolito Loveless on the Wild
Wild West. He was a dwarf, and he was just
plagued with health problems. And so just when you find
(25:46):
out what some of these people endure, the sheer nerve
and courage that they showed by just showing up to
work every day and putting on a good face, it's
outright heroic.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Well, I will say this as someone who idolized Gary
Coleman and wanted to be at least live that life.
From what I know now watching that documentary, there's no
way in the world, no way in hell, I would
have wanted his life at any point and at any stage.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I need to see this right away.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Before we get out here, I have to remind you
about the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carson, which is
part of the Boys and Girls Club of America movement.
They provide outcome based after school, during school and summer
programming to youth ages six through eighteen years old. Boys
and Girls Club of Carson has just announced that this
year's annual Blue Door Bash gala will be held at
(26:45):
SOFI Stadium on Saturday, October fifth, and I'm honored to
once again serve as its MC. This year's theme is
Mission Possible and the Blue Door Bash gala will feature
a silent auction and a complete evening of celebration of
community leaders and also future leaders. So come out and
be part of the festivities. You can get all the
(27:07):
information at BGC Carson dot org. Again, that's bg C
Carson dot org and hopefully I'll see you Saturday night,
October fifth at SOFI Stadium.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Earlier in the show, I.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Was talking about how I was I was frustrated at
streaming platforms where you'd have commercials and then you'd try
to watch something and then they have commercials and if
you would pause, you'd have a commercial staring back at
you or some sort of advertisement.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I was talking last segment about Gary.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
If you didn't know, I gave a raving review of
the documentary Gary, which is about the life and death
of Gary Coleman, the former Child Superstar actor, And that
was one of the drawbacks for me, and it took
away from some of the enjoyment of the experience because
the ads were obtrusive, Like I pushed pause because I
(28:03):
wanted to see if there was any extra information about
the scene like they do with Amazon Prime.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
No, they don't do that. They just serve up an ad.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
And so whether whereas I recommend Gary the documentary on Peacock,
I don't exactly recommend Peacock extremely platform itself. So I
know that sounds like I'm compartmentalizing, but there's a distinction
to be made. I think I would have loved it anymore,
even more if we're uninterrupted all together.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
I actually just canceled my Peacock subscription because they'll offer
you specials. I got it for like two dollars a
month for six months. But if it shoots back up
to six or seven bucks.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Nope, no they are.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
They've already announced it's going to shoot back up because
of the all the Olympics stuff.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
We did the story and they had raised the prices
specifically because of the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Peacock is worth maybe two bucks a month to me,
certainly not more. And I originally canceled it because they
dumped Maddie Hassen and I was a fan of his journalism.
So no way am I paying six or seven bucks
a month for Peacock.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah, it is mostly they have obviously documentary and some
long form content in some movies. But I'm not looking
at Peacock for just about anything. I was looking for
the documentary because I heard about the documentary and they said, oh,
it's available on Peacock. That was the only reason I
wasn't looking for it on Peacock. I was looking for
(29:27):
the documentary because I heard about it, and you know,
I had to go to the Peacock.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yeah, it really makes you wonder how long Peacock's going
to be around, at least in its current form, because
what do you go there regularly for? What do you
count on it for? I mean some special events, maybe
some sporting things, but I just randomly, you know, if
I'm cruising around and think, all right, let's see what's
on Peacock, you know what, It's not my destination most nights.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And the only reason my household has it is my
wife is addicted to Bravo and so all the reality
shows are on Peacock. That is why she watches it,
and that's why I am able to watch it.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I'm not paying for that stuff.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Well, like what reality shows, all the the Real Housewives.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Real Housewives of everything.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
But the for me I see Peacock's on of mine
because yeah, to the point, to Mark's point, there's not
a lot of new stuff, but I feel like they
are the ones that get the newest movies earliest, and
there's plenty of how much Mark likes to be I
like to watch reruns, and I feel like they have
a broad spectrum of different they shows from different networks,
(30:36):
like you know, I mean it's just surprisingly someone just
as an example, like everybody loves Raymond that's CBS, but
it's on Peacock. So it's just like, yeah, they have everything.
So yeah, all old.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
TV shows, Like I found myself watching Good Times again
because right after Yep, the Gary Coleman a documentary ended,
it just went right over into the seventies and eighties TV.
They knew, No, it's a simple algorithm. If you like this,
you'll like that. They weren't wrong.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
I might be wrong, but I feel like I was
flipping through there a couple of nights ago, and they
had six million dollar Man Koleshak, the Knightstalker, some Alfred Hitchcock,
lots of really great old stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Yeah, so it's not bad. Feel sorry.
Speaker 11 (31:14):
The other reason I bought the higher tier it is because,
like you guys are talking about the commercials. The most
annoying thing when I first got Peacock is if you
just want to rewind right before the commercial break and
you don't hit it just right, it'll just play it again.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
You got to watch a whole commercial break. That's what
thing just takes away from the experiences enough. So I
just paid for the ad free because I can't. Yeah,
that's all point they want to be annoying.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Yeah, yeah, but they have to come up with whether
or not you're gonna What is the point where you
decide either to pay more or rage quit?
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Because I rage quit, Well that's for you to decide.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I don't have to make that decision because it's on
my wife's credit card, because I'm not paying for the
Shawls of Sunset or the Real Housewives of.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Salt Lake City, a real show.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Yeah yeah, well the Potomac there's like twelve of them.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
The only reason I know that is because every time
I come home they're on the freaking TV.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
It's recently watched or you know, going through your So
I didn't choose to watch that.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Don't use my account, you know, because I should say
my profile because then all of a sudden, it thinks that.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I want to see that, So you have to sister wives.
I knew it. Not, I always knew it.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I knew every time I come home, especially on the weekend,
she is on the couch watching the latest of whatever
those shows, and I can't get into them.
Speaker 11 (32:34):
And Mark was right, they do have He's not right.
He's never right about a lot of killing is. They
have a lot of sports events exclusively that only they
can stream, like the whole drama with the football game
a few months ago, but like they have wrestling, and
obviously they had the Olympics, So I know.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I think there's a real house husband's there is there.
You go, I'm not watching that either. I'm not watching
any of that. Yeah, are going to watch that stuff
on the other for us, No, no, get out of
