Speaker 1 (00:22):
Caf Hi later with Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube
and the iHeartRadio app. And I say, look out the
window tonight, it looks like it's going to rain. I
think it's gonna rain, something about thirty percent chance of rain.
I hope I can get home before it starts raining.
But that's up to Mark Runner, and I don't know
if he'll be able to save me. We'll have more
on that in just a moment. And we are giving
(00:44):
away a pair of tickets tonight to see the Temptations
and the Four Tops at the Crito Center for the
Performing Arts. These are gonna good tickets because you can't
even get in the room for less than seventy nine dollars.
We're talking about two of Motown's biggest acts dominate the
stage for an evening of greatest hits and snazzy moves.
(01:07):
Not a tribute band, but the actual Temptations and the
actual Four Tops.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Giving away a pair of tickets tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, I'm not going to tell you exactly when we're
gonna give them away kind of defeats the purpose.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
My job is to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
String you along for the next two hours and forty
eight minutes and somewhere along the way, we will give
away the tickets. And Daniel, Daniel, you're not gonna put
on the rundown when we give away the tickets, are you?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Uh? Did you put it on the rundown?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Are you sure? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
My goodness, don't give it away. Don't give away the game. Please,
don't put give it away. We have to talk about
yo shandya. I haven't had yo shoad nooya in at
least twenty years. And there's a reason. Why is that
some kind of Asian STD. I don't even know what
that is. It might as well be if this come down?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
WHOA what is with this disrespect?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I guess you know on Saturday?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Do you treat that's your bad choices in life?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay, I love good. We're gonna be eulogizing you before
the week is out of you.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Keep that up. You don't eat yoh yeah? With the
extra beef juice, don't you know?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They just take a pillar of salt and just poor.
It has forty five hundred not even milligrams, but grams
and sodium in it.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
It's cut back. They've cut back on the MSG and
the salt. It's leaner cuts of beef that they're slicing,
and that's why I just get a little beef juice
with some ginger.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Have they cut back on the roaches, Well, no, I'll
look for the roaches.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, there's a problem with the roach infestation and worse
at one particular Yoshinoya. We'll talk about that next segment.
And also Southern California Edison. They're giving away money to
eating fire victims. Is just a question of is it
enough or are they only trying to avoid the huge
(03:05):
class action lawsuit where they have to give even more.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Probably the latter. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And a person that's been found dead after riding a
roller coaster at Universal Florida. I keep telling to tell
folks I don't get on roller coasters anymore. That part
of my life is behind me. I don't want to
have a medical episode on a roller coaster. I just
don't want to be that. I don't want to end
up on my own show as the news. Hey coming
up on later with Mokelly. We have to tell you
how m'kelly died on a roller coaster. No, I don't
(03:31):
want that to happen, So we have to.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Talk about that. When animals attack.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Tonight, a bear wandered into a Dollar General store and
then bid a woman. I don't know who I'm rooting
for in this story. I don't know. I don't know, Robin.
Why you laughing? This is very serious, Kay, there's nothing
funny about this.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, I mean, I've looked at story and I'm siding
with the African American bear, and this boy will get.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I just say anything about African American bear. I just said,
a bear. Why you gotta be so racist? Why do
you gotta assume race? We gotta make everything about race.
I mean, the you know, authorities identified as a black bear.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, look, look, okay, I know that we're in a
very precarious moment in media, and we have to be
very very uh sympathetic. We have to be self aware
about our humor, especially when it comes to those who've
been injured or the deceased.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm not trying to end up like Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Okay, So we're gonna we're gonna bring it all down right,
no inappropriate jokes here, right, this is for Jimmy's Oh
so we're just gonna go with black bear. Well, you could,
you could well black is a little antiquated. I mean,
there's a difference between black and African American. But you
brought that up out of nowhere. No one was talking
about race. You just had to throw it into the conversation,
(04:49):
just like black people do all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
No, no, no, no, no, it was no no, we didn't
need that descriptor you added that in. Let's talk about
the weather. Rubert has it that there's a thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Chance of rain. As I look outside, it's kind of
dark out there. It's almost like it's November December, short days,
it's dark.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
What is it going to start raining? Mark, I can't
pinpoint the exact time. Unacceptable that you will become moist tonight, mo,
But you have a thirty percent chance of moistness any
particular location. It depends on where you happen to be.
Tomorrow it's down to a twenty percent chance. And I
recommend a trip to your urologist.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh that's very personal.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I just came back from the doctor not too long ago,
had my whole physical Really, you're walking okay from the
router to the tutor. You took care of everything, pope
and prodded, and I didn't notice anything different about you. No,
b that's okayrust me. They did, they did, They did
a whole dressing down.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
This is one of those few times that I am
just going to take your word for something.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well, see that's how you walked in today in shorts.
Oh boy, here we go. Are you? Are you fully
clothed today in the news booth for the most part? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
What is?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
For the most part? I got all the basics covered.
The bikini area is covered. That's all you need to know.
Oh okay, all right. Didn't you want to focus on
the weather? I did, but you only gave me half
assed information. You said thirty then you went down to
twenty percent. Gave you what I thought you could handle it.
Okay about me being moist, it's not. It's not really enlightening.
(06:29):
Thirty percent chance tonight twenty tomorrow, then we should be
in the clear over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All right, I guess I'll have to accept it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Temptations and four Tops tickets coming up sometime later tonight
KIM six forty weelive everwherey I Heart Radio up.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty bye.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Later with buck Kelly live on YouTube, Live on the
iHeartRadio app. And I think the last time I had
Yoshanoya was at least twenty years ago. Used to like
their beef bowls. I'm not gonna lie. I used to
like their beef bowls. But then as I got older,
I got a little more sensitive to salt because I
was cutting back on my sodium. And anyone who's had
(07:21):
to decrease the sodium in their diet, they know what
it's like. When you have a salt bomb hit your mouth,
you really taste it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
After that, you become very sensitive to it. You know,
it's actually saltire with the vegetables than it is without.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It doesn't matter. I can't eat yoshanoia anymore. And it
seems like it's a good idea that I stopped eating yoshanoya.
Because cooks and cashiers at the Pico Robertson location, if
you know that one, they walked off the job earlier
this week because they're upset about the lack of cleanliness,
the health and safety violations at the restaurant. According to
these workers who walked off, they said the restaurant was
(07:58):
played with cockroaches, dirty grills, and leaky ceilings. They said
they had to improvise and use plastic bags as gloves,
use lemonade and water to clean the grill. You noticed
they didn't say soap because at times they washed the
dishes without this fish soap. So that means dirty dishes,
(08:22):
nasty ass food, possibly roach droppings in them, roach eggs. Yeah,
that makes you want to go back to Yoshinoya. And wait,
that's only what we know about. Yes, that's why I'm laughing.
I'm like me, is the upset about roach droppings? Do
you have any idea?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
What's in there? Look?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I have no idea and I stopped. Okay, I've told
the story before. I got to tell again. My wife
she used to work for a company called Ecolab, and
Ecolab would send out the representats and go to these
various eateies and everything and say, hey, if you want
to get in a or a be in that little
card to put in your window from the health department,
this is what you need to do. Okay, you got
(09:05):
to get those pants up off the floor. You got
to remove those cardboard boxes in the back it you know,
it encourages vermin back there, all those things just about
every major franchise eatery uses eco ab. In other words,
this place probably was told a long time ago, this
(09:27):
is substandard. You're gonna get closed down, and they did
nothing about it. How can you run a place and
run out of soap? How I'm surprised you were still
paying anybody, honestly, because if you can't afford soap, you
can't afford all the other things which are necessary for
a restaurant to stay in business. I'm surprised. Maybe they're
(09:47):
walking off as well because they weren't getting paid.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
And no, they were definitely getting their pay. And I'm
sure the manager of this location came in and said, look,
do you want to get paid or do you want
to gripe about lemon water wash the grill? Look, I'm
gonna tell you this, okay, And I still go here.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
No, no, no, no, no, I don't go I don't go
to this one, but the Yoshinoya and Pasadena I go
to with what One time I was pulling into the parking.
As I pulled in, I guess I scared some mice
that ran up the wall right outside. Though they're outside,
they weren't inside the mice until they find the opening
at the base. Yeah, and they ran in and I say, well,
(10:29):
they're outside. I mean, what are you gonna do? I mean, look,
we d virus. We ordered takeout. You know I've brought
back Panda Express. You think pandas roach free. We don't know,
We don't know what's going on. We assume.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I would rather have the plausible deniability as opposed to
the seeing the actual rats and roaches run in front
of me and saying, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Look, that's why you bless your food, though you do
it because you're not blessed, because you're just thankful you
market thanks to the Lord. You are also hard that
this food does not poison.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Fart sides, isn't this one of these places where that
stuff counts as an extra protein that you got to
pay more for?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Mmma mean little cricket or whatever? Give there now.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
My first newspaper job, I used to do the roundup
of the health inspection stuff at the local restaurants. And
you don't even want to know the kind of stuff
they find. No, it probably has some idea, oh yes,
but it's horrifying. You'd never go out and eat any
place the rest of your life if you regularly read
these health department reports of places that have like pans
of fish drying on the roof. Yes, I mean, and
(11:38):
that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's terrifying. Just
a couple of days ago, I saw footage of a local,
not a local fast food chain whose milkshake machines were
just caked with slime and maggots and stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I used to work within the fast food and food industry.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
You're the one who introduced me to the concept of
the special.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, I'm like the things that I have seen that
I done.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
I've seen people do and they've dropped food and tone
back up and wash it off because you can't throw
that block of cheese out.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
It's saying, oh, you think that tomatoes old cut around
those old spots.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's why there's certain neighborhoods. I don't get fast food
in certain neighborhoods. I want to believe that there's someone
in there who will not allow that. You know, that
is the first mistaken I'm just saying. This is what
I try to tell myself. Okay, I want to shake
you that.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I don't want you going to any of these places,
thinking that they're just oh, look at this neighbor, this
roat free.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
No, the roaches are just inside my man.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
And so the question then is Tuala, knowing all this
as you do, how does this not make you avoid
these places?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know, here's the thing, mark H. I like to eat,
and I like to eat what I want to eat.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
So I get my roach infested food and I prown
and I say, God, please allow this food to be
as roach free as possible. Please allow the people that
made it accept my kindness when I was ordering it
and not give me a special.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I think all these things when I order anything.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I don't care if we get pizza and some guys
bringing the like hey here, hey here. I couldn't find
the place, and all I'm thinking is how many times
did you open that box top and cough all over it?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Come on to be serious to Walla's not wrong. I
mean even the health department grade is not going to
help you this specific. Yoshinoya received the ninety one out
of one hundred back in April.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
April. It was a long time ago. Okay, you know,
I don't see why that's funny.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I don't see that they did, because it's like they
got a ninety one, which is a passing grade. Okay,
they got an A. I don't even think that's an
A minus. I think you have to get lower than
that to get an A minus. And they still pass,
meaning that the health inspector walked in there and said, look,
I could give you a ninety one with you know,
nine hundred dollars, or I could give.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You an nine and give you what you're supposed to get.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Oh no, most definitely there are some purchase grades, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Know that for a fact.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
You're suggesting there might possibly corruption up and down our
food chain.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's insane. I wouldn't say corruption.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I would just say just flat out you know, illegalities.
See you just you know, I know too much about
the restaurant industry, and I know too much about the
aviation industry because of friends or family which work there,
and you hear the stories and all the stuff that
doesn't make the news. So it makes it real, real
(14:40):
difficult to walk into certain fast food places Yoshinoia included
at ever Get Anything.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, this is provocative. Would you say the name of
that outfit?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Was that your wife worked at Eco lab or like
Fico lab Well, that's true. But what they're trying to
fight the good fight, saying, hey, restaurant, this what you're doing,
this is what you're not doing. This is what you
need to do better, because a lot of these places
don't know that. You can't have like pans on the floor,
or there has to be certain distances you have you
(15:11):
you have to put make sure you break down all
your cardboard boxes in the back.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The worms and the fish have to be unmoving. Not necessarily.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Okay, no, seriously, because when you have fresh fish, they
might have some worms in it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Honestly, go to a grocery store.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You will see sometimes like in the salmon, there are
worms in there and you have to actually cook it.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
But I'm saying that's that's what I mean. I know
too much.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah, I'm telling you the things that I have seen,
the things that people that I know have been directly
a part of.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You would never want to eat anything.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I'm talking about the actual stuff you're talking about, the
illegal Yes, and I believe that that happens more often
than the spotting of the occasional roach or washing dishes
with you know, lemon water.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I think people are really, really foul and you just
don't care. Why Why can't I care about things? I
don't know? I'm blistering? Super nice.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It works in fast food, super nice because I'm not
gonna be the one that they're gonna go out of
their way to mess with.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
This is why you guys don't like black olives on pizza,
isn't it? Why are you bringing race into it? First
it was Tuala, now it's you. It's because the black
olives looked like roaches.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That was really racist, Martin, put your white hood away?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
What is wrong with there? Was nothing? Take it up?
Backing up? How dare you? Robin put your food down?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You let me wag my finger at you in the
YouTube video? Cow dare you?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Would you wag anything of yours at me? What's wrong
with you? I can't believe it? This podcast face and
you're gonna be right next to Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Oh, you're gonna play the Kimel card this early in
the show. It's a new day in media. It's went downhill.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
There is no criticism of our president, God save the King.
There is no type of humor at the expense of
the late American hero Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Okay, touch a degree. I was just mocking your your
fear of black olives. All right, hey, hey, hey hey,
we're friends here.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
This is crazy.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I don't know, it's shaky right now. That had away, Okay, okay,
that's that's enough of that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh that's too far. If I am six forty Will
Love Everybody Heart Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
App, you're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
JFI Mister Kelly Live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
And we want to take particular time, take our time,
particularly with those who are impacted by the Eaton Canyon
fire Alta Dina, if only because one one of our own,
Twalla Sharp, lost his house in that fire. And also
(18:15):
we know that that community is not getting the larger
attention that it should as far as making everyone whole.
We talked about how there were predatory forces at play
coming in buying up the lots, trying to force people
to sell because they were desperate, and how you have
(18:37):
these vultures who are trying to take advantage of the situation.
We also know that Southern California Edison, although it has
not accepted responsibility for igniting the Eton fire. There is
a lot of evidence to suggest that Southern California Edison
may be to blame due to faulty transformers. We've all
(18:58):
seen the videos. At this point, Southern California Edison is
trying to get out in front of this and offering
hundreds of thousands of dollars to individual homeowners to help
them as part of this planned compensation program.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Let me give you some of the particulars.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Then I'm going to tell you what I think about it,
and then I'm going to ask Tawala to tell us
what he thinks about it, because he is directly impacted
and part of this story. The owner of a fifteen
hundred foot square house fifteen hundred square foot home destroyed
in the fire would be eligible to receive nine hundred
thousand dollars to rebuild. And if you know anything about
(19:41):
that real estate in that area, most of those lots
and houses were worth more than a million. So let
me just say that. In addition, see is offering owners
an additional two hundred thousand dollars for agreeing to settle
their claim directly with Edison as opposed to filing a
(20:02):
lawsuit later on and the family of each destroyed home
also would get compensation for pain and suffering one hundred
thousand dollars for each adult and fifty thousand dollars for
each child. So let's say you have it's a two
parent home, mom and dad, you got two kids. That's
an extra three hundred thousand dollars. So if you put
(20:24):
it all together, you could get maybe one point four
million dollars if you should qualify for all those things.
Southern California Edison announced back in late July that it
was creating this program to directly compensate victims to avoid
lengthy litigation. They are telling you up front they don't
(20:46):
want to go to court, and in my limited experience
on this earth, when they're telling you they don't want
to go to court, it's because they are in a
losing position and likely would have to pay even more.
If they're trying to offer up one point four million
dollars for each homeowner and family who have been displaced,
(21:08):
who've been affected, something tells me that you probably can
get two or three times that when it comes to liability.
But here's the thing, and this is something that only
someone like to Wala could answer. Who has been impacted.
If you have been displaced from your home, how long
can you hold out? Because litigation could go on years.
(21:31):
Can you really keep your life on hold for a year?
Two years?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Maybe more?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
And if you know anything about the community, there are
a lot of people who are on the other side
of fifty years old, some in their sixties and seventies,
even in their eighties. Can you hold out for two
or three years to maybe get a settlement?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So I understand both sides of this.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
If you are hoping to get yourself back to where
you were as soon as possible, then such an offering,
such a settlement, if you will, could be the answer
for you, as opposed to trying to rebuild your house
on your home and waiting for insurance or waiting for
a settlement down the road. But you know that it's
(22:20):
probably less than the land is worth. If you ever
saw out to Dina before the fire, you should know
that those houses were on huge lots, and a lot
of those houses.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Were older and worth all sorts of money.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And that's part of the reason why these developers have
tried to come in and buy up these lots quickly
before anyone else could.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Southern California Edison.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
If you just look at the tea leaves, it's probably
going to pay hundreds of millions of dollars after all
the lawsuits, if only because there is no reason for
them to in advance just pay out millions of dollars
to individual homeowners unless they know they know that there's
evidence out there which is going to make them liable
(23:08):
for the fire in all the damages. I don't know
what I would do. It would be hard to turn
down that money. If you don't have a home. Let's
say you don't have a job, and you don't have
a way of replacing. Either you have limited insurance or
some didn't have enough insurance to cover all of the damages.
(23:28):
Be pretty hard to say no to that money. But
we also know that money is probably going to be
insufficient for a lot of people. Nine hundred thousand dollars
may and I don't know this for certain, may allow
you to rebuild your home, but I don't know if
you'll be able to rebuild it in the way that
it was. Because a lot of these older homes were
(23:51):
pretty large, they were pretty durable.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I don't know if you can replace them.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't know if you can get back to where
you were with us what Southern California Edison is offering.
But the fact that they're doing it should tell you
and should tell me. They're very concerned about these subsequent lawsuits.
They want to say they want to avoid lengthy litigation.
Why I bet your ass you do, because you know
at the end of it all, you're still gonna pay
(24:17):
through the nose and it's going to be up for
the individuals who lost their homes to make that ultimate decision.
I would say, hold out if you can, because you
know there's more on the other side, because Southern California
Edison is not just going to give away one point
four million dollars to anybody just because out of the
(24:38):
goodness of their heart, unless they know that they're culpable,
unless they know that they're liable.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
We'll continue to follow this.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
KFI. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
We're live on YouTube and we're live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
No, we've not.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Given away the tickets yet for the Temptations and the
four Tops. You have missed that, so you need to
keep listening. A couple people people did hit me on
Instagram at mister mo Kelly's him my message asking about
the Halloween sore. That is, no, we have not started
giving away tickets for that as of yet.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The Halloween Sware.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
We won't start giving away tickets for that until October.
That much I can tell you, and I can also
tell you the only way that you'll get in the
party is via winning tickets here on the show, so you.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Haven't missed anything yet.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We will be giving away the Temptations and the Four
Tops tickets a pair of that to go see them
at the Soritos Center for the Performing Arts before the
show's over, and that show is September twenty. First, just
want to know if you want to be able to go,
you have to make sure that you're available to go
on Sunday at seven pm. Something I want to talk
(26:06):
about before we finish out this hour. I don't get
on roller coasters anymore. That part of my life is
behind me. I'm not a thrill seeker. I don't get
any enjoyment out of roller coasters, and enough things have
happened in the news which tell me that I shouldn't
be on a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm that guy.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
In fact, my Martial Arts studio songs off Keto. Come
see us. We're in Culver City on some public boulevard.
We're taking a lot of the youth to Universal Studios Hollywood,
and we're gonna make sure they have a good time.
They're gonna go on all the roller coasters. I'll be
a chaperone, and I'm just one of the people, Like
(26:48):
I'm gonna sit here on the bench, You go on
the rides, and when you're done, meet back here in
an hour or so. I have no desire to get
on the rides because it's just one of those experience
which is just really not fun anymore. And then when
I read something like this where Universal Orlando there was
(27:10):
a guest who was found unresponsive after riding the Stardust
Racers ride in Epic Universe's Celestial Park area. The guest
ultimately was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, but they
don't say exactly what happened between the time of him
getting on the ride and then him being found unresponsive.
(27:32):
This is what Universal Florida had to say, quote, we
are devastated by this tragic event and extend our sincerest
sympathies to the guests loved ones.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's very nice. We are fully.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Cooperating with Orange County and the ongoing investigation. Orange County, Florida,
not California. An official with the Orange County Sheriff's Office
initially told Next Star that the guest was an adult
male in his thirties, but they didn't elaborate on any
medical events the guests may have experienced. And we can
(28:07):
try to guess and we can try to hypothesize about
what did or what did not happen. But you know,
I just don't ever want to be that wrong place,
wrong time guy. You see all those videos of the
different carnivals which are being set up in these.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Ricketing towns, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
The carnival ride will break loose and people will like
crashing to the ground.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I don't want to be that guy. I just I don't.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I just don't want to put myself in that degree
of danger. I don't like the feeling of my stomach
coming up into my throat when they have that long drop.
All that kind of stuff is way behind me. I
can't speak for anyone else. Maybe you know I think
it was maybe around the age of thirty five. When
I hit thirty five, the whole allure of an amusement
(28:53):
park and rides was just out the door. And then
for me it was just about everyone else house my nephew,
or by students at hop Keto or friends, or you
go with a significant other and you're not trying to
do those types of rides.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But for me it was thirty five. Mark, what age
was it for you?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
I can't pin it down like that, but I will
say that when I see videos now of horrifying rides,
I think those people paid money for that, and as
an extra bonus, it was assembled by carnifolk who don't
get paid.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
A lot and who may not care a lot. These
are not NASA engineers.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
No, And I don't know if you sue, you're not
suing them, so I don't know how invested they are
and making sure that those bolts are secure.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
You can't sue someone if you are raspberry preserves on
the pavement.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well, yeah, maybe you're you're remaining relatives. That's about errors
your survivors. Nah, I just say hell no to the
to the roller coasters, And I don't know, maybe because
as I get older, they're just certain things I don't
want to tempt fate. I know it's much more to
get on a plane, but that's because I really really
(30:06):
need to so I can go to Europe or something.
I don't need to get on a roller coaster for anything, ever,
under any circumstances.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
No, And this falls under potential tragedies that merit no
mourning from anybody. I have always said that if you say,
you know, decide to climb Everest or go base jumping
or something, oh yeah, and you snuff it, then that's
on you. You didn't have to be doing that. That's
dying time. You just did something for fun and you
got smoked, and that is not a tragedy like some
(30:35):
innocent person being hit by a bus or something.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You go ahead, Robin.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I think I was in the womb. That was the
last time I liked roller coasters because you were well.
I had a twin in there, so it was just
a whole roller coaster itself.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I'm good. Yeah, I have no desire to. I will
never and I can say this never.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I don't care if I'm terminal with cancer, Heaven forbid,
knock on wood. I'm not jumping out of a plane, skydiving.
I'm not bungee jumping. I'm not doing any of that.
And even though the odds are better that I'll survive
a roller coaster ride, not getting on it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
The world hates it when we agree, but this is
a place where we do. How desensitized do you have
to be to have to do that to make yourself
feel something?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I don't know, but some people get off on it.
Some people really like the thrill of roller coasters. I don't,
you know, And I've been on them and I've enjoyed them,
but as I get older, it's like I don't get
it anymore. It makes me feel physically uncomfortable, and the
whole fear thing is like, that's not a great feeling.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
No, there's enough risk and fear from the time you
step out your front door till the time you get home.
I don't need to pay for extra I get.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Enough thrill from just driving the one ten freeway, Are
you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
The one seventy on the way here.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
That's like a hundred roller coasters in an afternoon, combined
with a lot of middle fingers, most of them yours.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Let's be honest, well, let's move on. Please, Okay. If
I am six forty, we live everywhere.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
The iHeartRadio app ASBI and kost HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County more stimulating talk
Caf Hi later with Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube
and the iHeartRadio app. And I say, look out the
window tonight, it looks like it's going to rain. I
think it's gonna rain, something about thirty percent chance of rain.
I hope I can get home before it starts raining.
But that's up to Mark Runner, and I don't know
if he'll be able to save me. We'll have more
on that in just a moment. And we are giving
(00:44):
away a pair of tickets tonight to see the Temptations
and the Four Tops at the Crito Center for the
Performing Arts. These are gonna good tickets because you can't
even get in the room for less than seventy nine dollars.
We're talking about two of Motown's biggest acts dominate the
stage for an evening of greatest hits and snazzy moves.
(01:07):
Not a tribute band, but the actual Temptations and the
actual Four Tops.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Giving away a pair of tickets tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, I'm not going to tell you exactly when we're
gonna give them away kind of defeats the purpose.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
My job is to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
String you along for the next two hours and forty
eight minutes and somewhere along the way, we will give
away the tickets. And Daniel, Daniel, you're not gonna put
on the rundown when we give away the tickets, are you?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Uh? Did you put it on the rundown?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Are you sure? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
My goodness, don't give it away. Don't give away the game. Please,
don't put give it away. We have to talk about
yo shandya. I haven't had yo shoad nooya in at
least twenty years. And there's a reason. Why is that
some kind of Asian STD. I don't even know what
that is. It might as well be if this come down?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
WHOA what is with this disrespect?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I guess you know on Saturday?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Do you treat that's your bad choices in life?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay, I love good. We're gonna be eulogizing you before
the week is out of you.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Keep that up. You don't eat yoh yeah? With the
extra beef juice, don't you know?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They just take a pillar of salt and just poor.
It has forty five hundred not even milligrams, but grams
and sodium in it.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
It's cut back. They've cut back on the MSG and
the salt. It's leaner cuts of beef that they're slicing,
and that's why I just get a little beef juice
with some ginger.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Have they cut back on the roaches, Well, no, I'll
look for the roaches.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, there's a problem with the roach infestation and worse
at one particular Yoshinoya. We'll talk about that next segment.
And also Southern California Edison. They're giving away money to
eating fire victims. Is just a question of is it
enough or are they only trying to avoid the huge
(03:05):
class action lawsuit where they have to give even more.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Probably the latter. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And a person that's been found dead after riding a
roller coaster at Universal Florida. I keep telling to tell
folks I don't get on roller coasters anymore. That part
of my life is behind me. I don't want to
have a medical episode on a roller coaster. I just
don't want to be that. I don't want to end
up on my own show as the news. Hey coming
up on later with Mokelly. We have to tell you
how m'kelly died on a roller coaster. No, I don't
(03:31):
want that to happen, So we have to.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Talk about that. When animals attack.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Tonight, a bear wandered into a Dollar General store and
then bid a woman. I don't know who I'm rooting
for in this story. I don't know. I don't know, Robin.
Why you laughing? This is very serious, Kay, there's nothing
funny about this.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, I mean, I've looked at story and I'm siding
with the African American bear, and this boy will get.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I just say anything about African American bear. I just said,
a bear. Why you gotta be so racist? Why do
you gotta assume race? We gotta make everything about race.
I mean, the you know, authorities identified as a black bear.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, look, look, okay, I know that we're in a
very precarious moment in media, and we have to be
very very uh sympathetic. We have to be self aware
about our humor, especially when it comes to those who've
been injured or the deceased.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm not trying to end up like Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Okay, So we're gonna we're gonna bring it all down right,
no inappropriate jokes here, right, this is for Jimmy's Oh
so we're just gonna go with black bear. Well, you could,
you could well black is a little antiquated. I mean,
there's a difference between black and African American. But you
brought that up out of nowhere. No one was talking
about race. You just had to throw it into the conversation,
(04:49):
just like black people do all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
No, no, no, no, no, it was no no, we didn't
need that descriptor you added that in. Let's talk about
the weather. Rubert has it that there's a thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Chance of rain. As I look outside, it's kind of
dark out there. It's almost like it's November December, short days,
it's dark.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
What is it going to start raining? Mark, I can't
pinpoint the exact time. Unacceptable that you will become moist tonight, mo,
But you have a thirty percent chance of moistness any
particular location. It depends on where you happen to be.
Tomorrow it's down to a twenty percent chance. And I
recommend a trip to your urologist.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh that's very personal.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I just came back from the doctor not too long ago,
had my whole physical Really, you're walking okay from the
router to the tutor. You took care of everything, pope
and prodded, and I didn't notice anything different about you. No,
b that's okayrust me. They did, they did, They did
a whole dressing down.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
This is one of those few times that I am
just going to take your word for something.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well, see that's how you walked in today in shorts.
Oh boy, here we go. Are you? Are you fully
clothed today in the news booth for the most part? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
What is?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
For the most part? I got all the basics covered.
The bikini area is covered. That's all you need to know.
Oh okay, all right. Didn't you want to focus on
the weather? I did, but you only gave me half
assed information. You said thirty then you went down to
twenty percent. Gave you what I thought you could handle it.
Okay about me being moist, it's not. It's not really enlightening.
(06:29):
Thirty percent chance tonight twenty tomorrow, then we should be
in the clear over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All right, I guess I'll have to accept it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Temptations and four Tops tickets coming up sometime later tonight
KIM six forty weelive everwherey I Heart Radio up.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty bye.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Later with buck Kelly live on YouTube, Live on the
iHeartRadio app. And I think the last time I had
Yoshanoya was at least twenty years ago. Used to like
their beef bowls. I'm not gonna lie. I used to
like their beef bowls. But then as I got older,
I got a little more sensitive to salt because I
was cutting back on my sodium. And anyone who's had
(07:21):
to decrease the sodium in their diet, they know what
it's like. When you have a salt bomb hit your mouth,
you really taste it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
After that, you become very sensitive to it. You know,
it's actually saltire with the vegetables than it is without.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It doesn't matter. I can't eat yoshanoia anymore. And it
seems like it's a good idea that I stopped eating yoshanoya.
Because cooks and cashiers at the Pico Robertson location, if
you know that one, they walked off the job earlier
this week because they're upset about the lack of cleanliness,
the health and safety violations at the restaurant. According to
these workers who walked off, they said the restaurant was
(07:58):
played with cockroaches, dirty grills, and leaky ceilings. They said
they had to improvise and use plastic bags as gloves,
use lemonade and water to clean the grill. You noticed
they didn't say soap because at times they washed the
dishes without this fish soap. So that means dirty dishes,
(08:22):
nasty ass food, possibly roach droppings in them, roach eggs. Yeah,
that makes you want to go back to Yoshinoya. And wait,
that's only what we know about. Yes, that's why I'm laughing.
I'm like me, is the upset about roach droppings? Do
you have any idea?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
What's in there? Look?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I have no idea and I stopped. Okay, I've told
the story before. I got to tell again. My wife
she used to work for a company called Ecolab, and
Ecolab would send out the representats and go to these
various eateies and everything and say, hey, if you want
to get in a or a be in that little
card to put in your window from the health department,
this is what you need to do. Okay, you got
(09:05):
to get those pants up off the floor. You got
to remove those cardboard boxes in the back it you know,
it encourages vermin back there, all those things just about
every major franchise eatery uses eco ab. In other words,
this place probably was told a long time ago, this
(09:27):
is substandard. You're gonna get closed down, and they did
nothing about it. How can you run a place and
run out of soap? How I'm surprised you were still
paying anybody, honestly, because if you can't afford soap, you
can't afford all the other things which are necessary for
a restaurant to stay in business. I'm surprised. Maybe they're
(09:47):
walking off as well because they weren't getting paid.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
And no, they were definitely getting their pay. And I'm
sure the manager of this location came in and said, look,
do you want to get paid or do you want
to gripe about lemon water wash the grill? Look, I'm
gonna tell you this, okay, And I still go here.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
No, no, no, no, no, I don't go I don't go
to this one, but the Yoshinoya and Pasadena I go
to with what One time I was pulling into the parking.
As I pulled in, I guess I scared some mice
that ran up the wall right outside. Though they're outside,
they weren't inside the mice until they find the opening
at the base. Yeah, and they ran in and I say, well,
(10:29):
they're outside. I mean, what are you gonna do? I mean, look,
we d virus. We ordered takeout. You know I've brought
back Panda Express. You think pandas roach free. We don't know,
We don't know what's going on. We assume.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I would rather have the plausible deniability as opposed to
the seeing the actual rats and roaches run in front
of me and saying, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Look, that's why you bless your food, though you do
it because you're not blessed, because you're just thankful you
market thanks to the Lord. You are also hard that
this food does not poison.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Fart sides, isn't this one of these places where that
stuff counts as an extra protein that you got to
pay more for?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Mmma mean little cricket or whatever? Give there now.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
My first newspaper job, I used to do the roundup
of the health inspection stuff at the local restaurants. And
you don't even want to know the kind of stuff
they find. No, it probably has some idea, oh yes,
but it's horrifying. You'd never go out and eat any
place the rest of your life if you regularly read
these health department reports of places that have like pans
of fish drying on the roof. Yes, I mean, and
(11:38):
that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's terrifying. Just
a couple of days ago, I saw footage of a local,
not a local fast food chain whose milkshake machines were
just caked with slime and maggots and stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I used to work within the fast food and food industry.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
You're the one who introduced me to the concept of
the special.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, I'm like the things that I have seen that
I done.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
I've seen people do and they've dropped food and tone
back up and wash it off because you can't throw
that block of cheese out.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
It's saying, oh, you think that tomatoes old cut around
those old spots.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's why there's certain neighborhoods. I don't get fast food
in certain neighborhoods. I want to believe that there's someone
in there who will not allow that. You know, that
is the first mistaken I'm just saying. This is what
I try to tell myself. Okay, I want to shake
you that.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I don't want you going to any of these places,
thinking that they're just oh, look at this neighbor, this
roat free.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
No, the roaches are just inside my man.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
And so the question then is Tuala, knowing all this
as you do, how does this not make you avoid
these places?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know, here's the thing, mark H. I like to eat,
and I like to eat what I want to eat.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
So I get my roach infested food and I prown
and I say, God, please allow this food to be
as roach free as possible. Please allow the people that
made it accept my kindness when I was ordering it
and not give me a special.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I think all these things when I order anything.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I don't care if we get pizza and some guys
bringing the like hey here, hey here. I couldn't find
the place, and all I'm thinking is how many times
did you open that box top and cough all over it?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Come on to be serious to Walla's not wrong. I
mean even the health department grade is not going to
help you this specific. Yoshinoya received the ninety one out
of one hundred back in April.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
April. It was a long time ago. Okay, you know,
I don't see why that's funny.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I don't see that they did, because it's like they
got a ninety one, which is a passing grade. Okay,
they got an A. I don't even think that's an
A minus. I think you have to get lower than
that to get an A minus. And they still pass,
meaning that the health inspector walked in there and said, look,
I could give you a ninety one with you know,
nine hundred dollars, or I could give.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You an nine and give you what you're supposed to get.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Oh no, most definitely there are some purchase grades, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Know that for a fact.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
You're suggesting there might possibly corruption up and down our
food chain.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's insane. I wouldn't say corruption.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I would just say just flat out you know, illegalities.
See you just you know, I know too much about
the restaurant industry, and I know too much about the
aviation industry because of friends or family which work there,
and you hear the stories and all the stuff that
doesn't make the news. So it makes it real, real
(14:40):
difficult to walk into certain fast food places Yoshinoia included
at ever Get Anything.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, this is provocative. Would you say the name of
that outfit?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Was that your wife worked at Eco lab or like
Fico lab Well, that's true. But what they're trying to
fight the good fight, saying, hey, restaurant, this what you're doing,
this is what you're not doing. This is what you
need to do better, because a lot of these places
don't know that. You can't have like pans on the floor,
or there has to be certain distances you have you
(15:11):
you have to put make sure you break down all
your cardboard boxes in the back.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The worms and the fish have to be unmoving. Not necessarily.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Okay, no, seriously, because when you have fresh fish, they
might have some worms in it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Honestly, go to a grocery store.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You will see sometimes like in the salmon, there are
worms in there and you have to actually cook it.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
But I'm saying that's that's what I mean. I know
too much.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah, I'm telling you the things that I have seen,
the things that people that I know have been directly
a part of.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You would never want to eat anything.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I'm talking about the actual stuff you're talking about, the
illegal Yes, and I believe that that happens more often
than the spotting of the occasional roach or washing dishes
with you know, lemon water.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I think people are really, really foul and you just
don't care. Why Why can't I care about things? I
don't know? I'm blistering? Super nice.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It works in fast food, super nice because I'm not
gonna be the one that they're gonna go out of
their way to mess with.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
This is why you guys don't like black olives on pizza,
isn't it? Why are you bringing race into it? First
it was Tuala, now it's you. It's because the black
olives looked like roaches.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That was really racist, Martin, put your white hood away?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
What is wrong with there? Was nothing? Take it up?
Backing up? How dare you? Robin put your food down?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You let me wag my finger at you in the
YouTube video? Cow dare you?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Would you wag anything of yours at me? What's wrong
with you? I can't believe it? This podcast face and
you're gonna be right next to Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Oh, you're gonna play the Kimel card this early in
the show. It's a new day in media. It's went downhill.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
There is no criticism of our president, God save the King.
There is no type of humor at the expense of
the late American hero Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Okay, touch a degree. I was just mocking your your
fear of black olives. All right, hey, hey, hey hey,
we're friends here.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
This is crazy.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I don't know, it's shaky right now. That had away, Okay, okay,
that's that's enough of that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh that's too far. If I am six forty Will
Love Everybody Heart Radio.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
App, you're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
JFI Mister Kelly Live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
And we want to take particular time, take our time,
particularly with those who are impacted by the Eaton Canyon
fire Alta Dina, if only because one one of our own,
Twalla Sharp, lost his house in that fire. And also
(18:15):
we know that that community is not getting the larger
attention that it should as far as making everyone whole.
We talked about how there were predatory forces at play
coming in buying up the lots, trying to force people
to sell because they were desperate, and how you have
(18:37):
these vultures who are trying to take advantage of the situation.
We also know that Southern California Edison, although it has
not accepted responsibility for igniting the Eton fire. There is
a lot of evidence to suggest that Southern California Edison
may be to blame due to faulty transformers. We've all
(18:58):
seen the videos. At this point, Southern California Edison is
trying to get out in front of this and offering
hundreds of thousands of dollars to individual homeowners to help
them as part of this planned compensation program.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Let me give you some of the particulars.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Then I'm going to tell you what I think about it,
and then I'm going to ask Tawala to tell us
what he thinks about it, because he is directly impacted
and part of this story. The owner of a fifteen
hundred foot square house fifteen hundred square foot home destroyed
in the fire would be eligible to receive nine hundred
thousand dollars to rebuild. And if you know anything about
(19:41):
that real estate in that area, most of those lots
and houses were worth more than a million. So let
me just say that. In addition, see is offering owners
an additional two hundred thousand dollars for agreeing to settle
their claim directly with Edison as opposed to filing a
(20:02):
lawsuit later on and the family of each destroyed home
also would get compensation for pain and suffering one hundred
thousand dollars for each adult and fifty thousand dollars for
each child. So let's say you have it's a two
parent home, mom and dad, you got two kids. That's
an extra three hundred thousand dollars. So if you put
(20:24):
it all together, you could get maybe one point four
million dollars if you should qualify for all those things.
Southern California Edison announced back in late July that it
was creating this program to directly compensate victims to avoid
lengthy litigation. They are telling you up front they don't
(20:46):
want to go to court, and in my limited experience
on this earth, when they're telling you they don't want
to go to court, it's because they are in a
losing position and likely would have to pay even more.
If they're trying to offer up one point four million
dollars for each homeowner and family who have been displaced,
(21:08):
who've been affected, something tells me that you probably can
get two or three times that when it comes to liability.
But here's the thing, and this is something that only
someone like to Wala could answer. Who has been impacted.
If you have been displaced from your home, how long
can you hold out? Because litigation could go on years.
(21:31):
Can you really keep your life on hold for a year?
Two years?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Maybe more?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
And if you know anything about the community, there are
a lot of people who are on the other side
of fifty years old, some in their sixties and seventies,
even in their eighties. Can you hold out for two
or three years to maybe get a settlement?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So I understand both sides of this.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
If you are hoping to get yourself back to where
you were as soon as possible, then such an offering,
such a settlement, if you will, could be the answer
for you, as opposed to trying to rebuild your house
on your home and waiting for insurance or waiting for
a settlement down the road. But you know that it's
(22:20):
probably less than the land is worth. If you ever
saw out to Dina before the fire, you should know
that those houses were on huge lots, and a lot
of those houses.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Were older and worth all sorts of money.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And that's part of the reason why these developers have
tried to come in and buy up these lots quickly
before anyone else could.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Southern California Edison.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
If you just look at the tea leaves, it's probably
going to pay hundreds of millions of dollars after all
the lawsuits, if only because there is no reason for
them to in advance just pay out millions of dollars
to individual homeowners unless they know they know that there's
evidence out there which is going to make them liable
(23:08):
for the fire in all the damages. I don't know
what I would do. It would be hard to turn
down that money. If you don't have a home. Let's
say you don't have a job, and you don't have
a way of replacing. Either you have limited insurance or
some didn't have enough insurance to cover all of the damages.
(23:28):
Be pretty hard to say no to that money. But
we also know that money is probably going to be
insufficient for a lot of people. Nine hundred thousand dollars
may and I don't know this for certain, may allow
you to rebuild your home, but I don't know if
you'll be able to rebuild it in the way that
it was. Because a lot of these older homes were
(23:51):
pretty large, they were pretty durable.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I don't know if you can replace them.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't know if you can get back to where
you were with us what Southern California Edison is offering.
But the fact that they're doing it should tell you
and should tell me. They're very concerned about these subsequent lawsuits.
They want to say they want to avoid lengthy litigation.
Why I bet your ass you do, because you know
at the end of it all, you're still gonna pay
(24:17):
through the nose and it's going to be up for
the individuals who lost their homes to make that ultimate decision.
I would say, hold out if you can, because you
know there's more on the other side, because Southern California
Edison is not just going to give away one point
four million dollars to anybody just because out of the
(24:38):
goodness of their heart, unless they know that they're culpable,
unless they know that they're liable.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
We'll continue to follow this.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
KFI. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
We're live on YouTube and we're live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
No, we've not.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Given away the tickets yet for the Temptations and the
four Tops. You have missed that, so you need to
keep listening. A couple people people did hit me on
Instagram at mister mo Kelly's him my message asking about
the Halloween sore. That is, no, we have not started
giving away tickets for that as of yet.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The Halloween Sware.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
We won't start giving away tickets for that until October.
That much I can tell you, and I can also
tell you the only way that you'll get in the
party is via winning tickets here on the show, so you.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Haven't missed anything yet.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We will be giving away the Temptations and the Four
Tops tickets a pair of that to go see them
at the Soritos Center for the Performing Arts before the
show's over, and that show is September twenty. First, just
want to know if you want to be able to go,
you have to make sure that you're available to go
on Sunday at seven pm. Something I want to talk
(26:06):
about before we finish out this hour. I don't get
on roller coasters anymore. That part of my life is
behind me. I'm not a thrill seeker. I don't get
any enjoyment out of roller coasters, and enough things have
happened in the news which tell me that I shouldn't
be on a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm that guy.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
In fact, my Martial Arts studio songs off Keto. Come
see us. We're in Culver City on some public boulevard.
We're taking a lot of the youth to Universal Studios Hollywood,
and we're gonna make sure they have a good time.
They're gonna go on all the roller coasters. I'll be
a chaperone, and I'm just one of the people, Like
(26:48):
I'm gonna sit here on the bench, You go on
the rides, and when you're done, meet back here in
an hour or so. I have no desire to get
on the rides because it's just one of those experience
which is just really not fun anymore. And then when
I read something like this where Universal Orlando there was
(27:10):
a guest who was found unresponsive after riding the Stardust
Racers ride in Epic Universe's Celestial Park area. The guest
ultimately was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, but they
don't say exactly what happened between the time of him
getting on the ride and then him being found unresponsive.
(27:32):
This is what Universal Florida had to say, quote, we
are devastated by this tragic event and extend our sincerest
sympathies to the guests loved ones.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's very nice. We are fully.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Cooperating with Orange County and the ongoing investigation. Orange County, Florida,
not California. An official with the Orange County Sheriff's Office
initially told Next Star that the guest was an adult
male in his thirties, but they didn't elaborate on any
medical events the guests may have experienced. And we can
(28:07):
try to guess and we can try to hypothesize about
what did or what did not happen. But you know,
I just don't ever want to be that wrong place,
wrong time guy. You see all those videos of the
different carnivals which are being set up in these.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Ricketing towns, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
The carnival ride will break loose and people will like
crashing to the ground.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I don't want to be that guy. I just I don't.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I just don't want to put myself in that degree
of danger. I don't like the feeling of my stomach
coming up into my throat when they have that long drop.
All that kind of stuff is way behind me. I
can't speak for anyone else. Maybe you know I think
it was maybe around the age of thirty five. When
I hit thirty five, the whole allure of an amusement
(28:53):
park and rides was just out the door. And then
for me it was just about everyone else house my nephew,
or by students at hop Keto or friends, or you
go with a significant other and you're not trying to
do those types of rides.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But for me it was thirty five. Mark, what age
was it for you?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
I can't pin it down like that, but I will
say that when I see videos now of horrifying rides,
I think those people paid money for that, and as
an extra bonus, it was assembled by carnifolk who don't
get paid.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
A lot and who may not care a lot. These
are not NASA engineers.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
No, And I don't know if you sue, you're not
suing them, so I don't know how invested they are
and making sure that those bolts are secure.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
You can't sue someone if you are raspberry preserves on
the pavement.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well, yeah, maybe you're you're remaining relatives. That's about errors
your survivors. Nah, I just say hell no to the
to the roller coasters, And I don't know, maybe because
as I get older, they're just certain things I don't
want to tempt fate. I know it's much more to
get on a plane, but that's because I really really
(30:06):
need to so I can go to Europe or something.
I don't need to get on a roller coaster for anything, ever,
under any circumstances.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
No, And this falls under potential tragedies that merit no
mourning from anybody. I have always said that if you say,
you know, decide to climb Everest or go base jumping
or something, oh yeah, and you snuff it, then that's
on you. You didn't have to be doing that. That's
dying time. You just did something for fun and you
got smoked, and that is not a tragedy like some
(30:35):
innocent person being hit by a bus or something.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You go ahead, Robin.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I think I was in the womb. That was the
last time I liked roller coasters because you were well.
I had a twin in there, so it was just
a whole roller coaster itself.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I'm good. Yeah, I have no desire to. I will
never and I can say this never.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I don't care if I'm terminal with cancer, Heaven forbid,
knock on wood. I'm not jumping out of a plane, skydiving.
I'm not bungee jumping. I'm not doing any of that.
And even though the odds are better that I'll survive
a roller coaster ride, not getting on it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
The world hates it when we agree, but this is
a place where we do. How desensitized do you have
to be to have to do that to make yourself
feel something?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I don't know, but some people get off on it.
Some people really like the thrill of roller coasters. I don't,
you know, And I've been on them and I've enjoyed them,
but as I get older, it's like I don't get
it anymore. It makes me feel physically uncomfortable, and the
whole fear thing is like, that's not a great feeling.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
No, there's enough risk and fear from the time you
step out your front door till the time you get home.
I don't need to pay for extra I get.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Enough thrill from just driving the one ten freeway, Are
you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
The one seventy on the way here.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
That's like a hundred roller coasters in an afternoon, combined
with a lot of middle fingers, most of them yours.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Let's be honest, well, let's move on. Please, Okay. If
I am six forty, we live everywhere.
