You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
There is about well listen business. Nas Mochel says it
should work out.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
This bad time workout.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
It's Later with mo Kelly k IF I AM six forty.
We're live on YouTube, Instagram and the iHeartRadio app and
of course this wellness Wednesday. Claude Cooper joins us in studio.
It's great to see you, Claudine. Let's get right to it.
We've talked about wellness within the context of working out
and living our lives in a day to day fashion,
(01:03):
But what about this idea of wellness centric travel where
people are disconnecting, they're leaving their phones behind as best
they can, traveling to places where they're not enjoying the
trappings of modern lifestyle to somehow reset and recalibrate themselves.
(01:24):
It seems like now we have wellness integrated in every
form and fashion of our lives. It's not just going
on a vacation, but a vacation which is wellness focused.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Where would you come out on that.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Well, here's my question. Do you work out when you're
on vacation?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Absolutely, well, I definitely work out. Every time I go anywhere.
I look for the hotel gym, I look for classes
in the area. I definitely look for ways that I
can move my body when I'm traveling. But I read
through the article that you sent and I feel like
we're seeking to get grounded or to go do yoga
(02:04):
out of the country. Why can't we do it right here.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Maybe at Iconics or something.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I mean, we do it at Iconics, for sure, but
what about just getting outside in nature?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
What about connecting with the sunlight?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Now?
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Granted, I am fully aware that there are people who
live in neighborhoods where it's unsafe for them to go outside.
So I want to hold space for people who can't
actually go out and experience nature because of where they live.
But I don't feel like we have to necessarily take
(02:38):
a trip on an airplane to experience the benefits of
putting our feet in the grass, our face in the sunshine.
What the article said, resetting our connection with nature?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Why do we have to fly away for that?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And I think there's something that would be for me
depressing about the other word I can think of if
you spend these thousands of dollars to go to this
exotic location, and the play trip each way just burns
you out, so when you come back you feel as
if you've had no vacation at all. I try to
avoid spending a whole lot of money and putting so
much pressure on a physical location that makes me feel
(03:18):
better about life.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Ooh, but now we're veering off in the direction of
people who actually live their lives to wait for the
next trip, the next vacation. You and I are one
of the rare few people who wake up every day
with a zest for life, excited to go do the
(03:40):
job that we believe.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
We were created to do.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
But for many people, the joy that they find in
travel comes from the fact that every day they're going
to work at a job that really just maybe doesn't
fire them up. But they get their beans way. You know,
I've been there too. You know, they get their bills
paid and it's not horrible, but it's not great, and
(04:05):
it's not it's not making them feel like this is
what I live for. You and I we probably go
on a vacation and be ready to come back to work.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Tell the truth, yes, vacations can be too long.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Same and as far as being on the plane for many,
many hours. I also feel that there are health challenges
involved in sitting on a plane for many hours. A
lot of people have to wear compression socks. There's a
swelling that happens when you're seated for hours and hours.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
You're not careful exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So me personally, if I'm thinking about finding ways to
recreate or reconnect with nature, I'm going to find ways
that are closer to me in proximity. What are some
ways in southern California that we can reconnect with nature
without having to get on an airplane pay thousands of
dollars to be in a wilderness retreat.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It's interesting you say that, because, with the exception of
four h when I was growing up, I was not
one of those big outdoorsy people. We went to Joshua Tree,
we would camp, but that's not something I would do
as an adult. We were just talking about a story
yesterday about how Los Angeles City of Los Angeles is
ninety out of maybe one hundred major cities as far
as parks. In other words, those we live in a
(05:20):
very urban environment and it doesn't lend itself to that.
So these are issues on top of issues as we
try to find that place to disconnect in this world
which is just full of electronic connections.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I don't know if there is an answer.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Well, here's a few tips for anyone who's trying to
reconnect with nature and you live in an urban area,
there are still ways that you can adjust your lifestyle
so it's not dominated by screens and buy noises.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So here's a few things that I do.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I make sure that when the sun is up, my
drapes and shades are all so up. That's allowing natural
light to come in. And that's also resetting your circadian rhythm,
meaning when the sun comes up at let's say six
in the morning, if you're up, that's when you lift
your drapes and shades or open your blinds.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
That's one of the things that spoke of in the article,
that we are disconnected from our circadian rhythm, meaning we
go to bed at these odd hours, we sleep at
these odd hours. And as animals, which we are, we're
just like a regular animal.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
We need sunlight.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Our body needs rest, it needs water, and it needs sunlight.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean, are we a plant or are we an animal?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
But you know what I'm saying, No, absolutely, we need
all those things and sometimes not that we are need
to be watered like a plant, but we need to
be tended to consistently.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And part of that is also how we treat ourselves.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
It is another way is if you even have a
small patch of grass. Let's say, like for me, I
don't have a big yard. I definitely live in an
urban area, a concrete jungle. I live next door to
a football stadium, so there. It don't get much more
concrete jungle than that.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
They let you play on the field, ask.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I said, let yoga, Yeah, I sure have, Like, let's
have a yoga class.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I think.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's coming. It's coming, right.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
But I say that to say you can use a
small patch of grass. Take your socks off, take your
shoes off, place your bare feet in that small patch
of grass, and you are connecting to the ground also
called grounding, sometimes called earthing, and there is a direct
(07:42):
benefit to your health by placing your bare feet in
the grass or on the ground, not necessarily a concrete but.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
A viewer Darryl Sexton on our YouTube channel says, do
like die hard when you get to your destination, make
fists with your toes.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I don't know if that's the same.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Thing, if the same thing, we see it, We hear you, Darryl.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
When we come back, I gotta let you know about
Claudine's weekly free workout, which is going to be this Saturday,
and I'm gonna be there, so you get to CB fallout,
pass out with Claudine and she puts me through my
paces that are free community workout. Will tell you about
that next KFI AM six forty, YouTube, Instagram and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Forty KFI is Later with Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube,
Instagram and the iHeartRadio app. You can come join mo
town and then be amongst the mo migos as they're
calling themselves. I didn't name them that, but that's what
they're calling themselves. If you want to be a part
of the show in the YouTube or the Instagram chat
(08:49):
joining me right now as we continue our conversation is
Claudine Cooper. You can always go to Claudinecooper dot com
and find out what's going on with her. But a
part of what's going on with you, Claudine tell us
about this coming Saturday, in which I'll be joining you.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, every Saturday at nine am in Inglewood, there's a
free workout and you know, we just do calisthenics, body
weight conditioning. There's no equipment needed, there's no motors needed. Yep,
it's outside. There won't be any feet in the grass
because we have no grass. It's just on a basketball court.
You wear your tennis shoes, something comfortable, and you just
(09:24):
come with a positive attitude and a willingness to exercise.
It's all levels, it's families, it's elders, it's children.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Everybody comes.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
You'd have the times that I've been, this will be
my third time you have anyone like one hundred to
two hundred people.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
In my own You are correct, I definitely have a
big crowd.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
I never know this is so here's something kind of
crazy about being in fitness mo And I think, you know,
people get caught up in numbers these days. But when
I've been teaching classes, sometimes I've had five people show
up and then sometimes I have five hundred people show up.
But because there's no registration, I have to have the
(10:06):
same energy for five that I have for five hundred. Right,
And because I love what I do. I hope that
it does translate for five. But I remember a time
when do you remember this when the gyms used to
just tell you, hey, the aerobics class is at ten
(10:26):
am on Monday, right, And then people would just come
at ten am on Monday.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Okay, it's not like that anymore, guys. You got to
hear what they do now. Now you have to reserve
a spot. It's like Disneyland, literally, So check this out. No,
I got to tell you because it gets real crazy
about booking these spots. So the booking tool opens on
a certain day, so let's say tool. Yes, and it's
(10:53):
not just our gym in Englewood Iconics, but it's all gyms.
In order for you to get into the class that
you want, you have to have your phone, you have
to have the app, you have to book the class,
reserve the space.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So listen to this now.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Look, you told me to big up myself if there's
something I want to share. So I teach pilates in
a heated room. My pilates classes sell out in thirty seconds.
How many people is that thirty people can fit in
the room?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
And if I'm paying my money to the gym, and
I can never get into the class I want to
get in.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Is there any type of recourse?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Well, that's why I teach so many classes, because I'm
trying to accommodate the morning people, the night people, the
lunch hour exercisers. So I do my best to work
as much as I humanly possibly can. And then at
that point I usually will tell people, hey, someone might
(11:54):
drop off, just come check and see if you can
get a spot, and usually they can. But I really
miss the days when the class was at this time.
People just show up when the class starts and it's
first come, first served.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Okay, well, is there any penalty? Let's say I signed
up for your pilates class and I don't show.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Up, you are penalized. We charge a ten dollars no
show fee. Ah okay, that that really snatched people up
real quick. They stop, They stop doing that now they come.
It's also an accountability tool, absolutely yeah, because people don't
want to pay that ten dollars. I will say this though,
mom technology has helped in so many ways. One of
(12:35):
the ways, obviously, is now you know how many people
are coming to your class, because if it books out,
it's saying this is how many people are coming, But
for my outdoor workouts, I like to keep it old school.
Whoever comes comes, whoever can come will come. And on
that style of training, it opens me up to new connections,
(12:57):
new people.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't have a list to go from.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I just welcome everyone who wants to move their body
on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I want to move my body on a Saturday morning.
I'm going to join you in maybe one hundred to
one hundred and fifty people at the Inglewood Hollywood Park
retail district. Yeah, very quickly, let's explain how they should
get there, where they should park, and how they can
find us.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Well, at this point, most people know where Sofi Stadium is,
which is a good point of reference. But the actual
parking garage is on ninety seventh in Prairie, and we
validate the parking. There's a farmer's market. You can see
it from Prairie. It's kind of like tucked in the
basketball court. So once you get out of the parking garage,
you just walk through the community and you'll see us.
(13:44):
It's a big crowd. You can't miss us.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Do you have any specific plans for the weekend or
are you making it up as you go.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I like to freestyle on the weekends. I work a
lot Monday through Friday. I just taught a class before
I came to see you, and I sat in ninety
minutes of traffic.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I do want to say that I.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Normally don't have to It's usually like somewhere between an
hour to an hour fifteen, but today, I don't know
what was going on on the freeways. Today I ended
up sitting in traffic for ninety minutes. But it was
well worth it because I got a chance to see
you guys out here, and I love my CAFI family.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
So just let you know I'm going to be out
there with Claudine on Saturday. If you forget all this information,
you can go to Claudiancooper dot com. But I would
love to see you, especially if you're in the chat.
Come out and work out with us. It's a beautiful
experience because you're outdoors. It's it's a different experience outdoors
as opposed to indoors, and it's a nice way for
(14:44):
me to reset. You know, I need to change up
my workout from every now and then. I've done this
hopketo tournament for the past three months, I need to
change a pace, and this is going to be my
change of pace. I'd love to see you out there,
and Claudie, you can go ahead and whoop my ass.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Again like you are.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
You know.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
He always says that, you guys, but I want you
to know that Moe is very athletic.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I've never seen him fall out. Maybe he had to
catch his breath a couple of times, but that's all
part for the course.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Everyone in the life pace myself.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I was just gonna say it.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I don't start fast out the gate because I know
it's a long way to go.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I always tell people, please work at your own pace.
We are all on a journey. Everyone's at a different
place on their journey. There's no pressure to go super
hard or super fast.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So yeah, but man, we have this ego thing.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
We can't have the sixty five year old woman running
past us and that's gonna happen on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Let me tell you death to the ego.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I got to tell you one to say, though. Yeah,
I gotta tell you one thing.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
There was one woman and she was in the midst
of chemo therapy, and she came out there with barely
any hair, and she just whooped everybody, and I said
to myself, girl, you are a beast because she was
going toe to toe with me every move. So I say,
go at your own pace, do your own thing. But
(15:57):
if you can't push yourself, why.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Not Claudinecooper dot com. I will see you on Saturday, Claudide.
And also, please give out your social media.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I am fit with three. You can find me on Instagram, TikTok.
I'm pretty much on all social media platforms, but I
did go private on Facebook because the trolling got out
of control.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Oh you gotta tell me, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You know, I just said, you know what.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I'm gonna stay public on Instagram and TikTok, but I
am gonna go private for Facebook.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Always good to see you. I'll see you Saturday.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Always good to see you too.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Fortyfil Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app. And
it's happened again. Some idiot decided to get an animal,
a wild animal, and try to domesticate it as a pet,
and it ended horribly. In fact, a man tried to
get a hippo and it was killed by the hippo.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Now now that this guy.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Marius Els, who was forty an army major from the
Free State Province of South Africa. He took in a
baby hippo calf and according to the story, treated it
like a son.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
That was mistake number one. It's not a human, it's
not a pet.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Marius Els was bitten to death by the one point
two ton hippo who had the name of Humphrey. And
this was not the first incident with Humphrey, so there
were repeated chances for them to de pet and let
this hippo roam in the wild. According to news reports,
there had been several signs the animal would never be
(17:53):
able to be domesticated. In fact, there was an incident
where a fifty two year old man and his seven
year old son grandson had to climb i'm a tree
to get away from Humphrey when they canoed through the
section of the river on ELS's farm where Humphrey lived.
According to the story, Els had to tempt Humphrey away
with an apple, sorry, an apple. While the people were
(18:14):
rescued by paramedics. ELS's wife, Louise, a pharmacist, had also
expressed her concerns as the hippo had caused trouble before.
It had chased golfers on a nearby course and kir
and killed several calves belonging to ELS's business partner. If
you didn't know, hippos are said to kill more people
(18:35):
every year than lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo and rhinos combined.
In other words, they are known to kill people frequently.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
See now, you never saw this in the outtakes to
New Zoo review, Henrietta, No, I look.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
At the game Hungry Hippos differently, now, absolutely, that's about
hippos eatie NonStop.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
They're hungry for human flesh. Yes, did you ever play
that as a kid, Hungry Hippos? Everybody did? Everyone did?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well, I don't know, it's this look this new generation.
I don't know if they even play games anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
It's pretty low tech.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
Well, yeah, kids nowadays, they didn't know the competition of
watching your hippo devour more marbles than your competition. That
shouldn't let us know how angry and evil these hippos are.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Yeah, the marbles symbolized human heads. We didn't know it
when we were kids.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Since when did we ever start thinking that hippos could
be a pair?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
They are cute. You have to admit they're cute. Are
they cute? Especially the baby ones?
Speaker 10 (19:38):
You want the game got to and get the most
marbles with Hungry Hungry Hippos is the name of the game.
And who's ever hippo gets the most marbles? When Hungry
(20:01):
Hungry Hippos from Hasbro.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
That kind of slaps kind of you know, hip Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean, look, if we've talked about it now, someone
had like a pet, crocodile eating pet, lion eating pet,
hippo eating There's a common refrain here you cannot have
certain animals as pets. Ever, under any circumstances. They are
(20:27):
not meant to live with you. You're not supposed to
live with them. It doesn't matter if you had them,
since there are you know, a calf or a cube.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
A rule of thumb is if at some point an
animal could kill and eat you, it's not going to
be a good pet.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah. I don't think Riley or Benson going to be
able to eat me. I was never worried about that
with my kiddies.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
But the worst they we're going to do is leave
a little tutsie roll around.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
That's about it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
I never really connected the dots there with the fact
of how brutal, I mean, how fierce those competitions where
when you play hungry hunkpos with your friends.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah, it's based in science. They're killers. Wow, they are killers.
That makes sense.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
They are known to be ill tempered, just as ye
general against other animals. Other animals don't even go into
the water when they're there.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I saw did you ever watch like Wild Kingdom growing up? Oh?
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Yeah, Marlon Perkins always sent the young guy in where
Marlon stayed in the boat, always stayed way back.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, so you make sure this's like I'm gonna sit
here and narrate from afar real far.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
And always thought Mutual of Omaha was part of the
show because it's always Mutual of Omaha.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Wild Kingdom, well.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
It's an insurance company and I'm guessing some of their
premiums were for people who were eaten interacting with animals.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I actually do think that that was part of how
they got connected to the show.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
And it was Sunday Night.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I don't know if it was before after The Wonderful
World of Disney, and I believe it was before, but
I would watch it. My mother would have me take
a bath and then put me in my pajamas which
just came out of the dryer real hot, and then
I sit in front of the TV and watch this.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
In the Wild Kingdom, where death is swift, life depends
on a design for survival. Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom
is presented by the company with coverage for everyone. Mutual
of Omaha.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
There it is good times as a kid.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
It really was like from Chicago's named Lincoln Park Zoo.
Here is Marlon Perkins to lead our investigation off designs
for survival in the Wild Kingdom.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Well, I'm glad you could join us on Mutual Omaha's
Wild Kingdom. You know, almost all animals are designed for survival.
This little lion Crad is no exception. He has several
ways of defending himself.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
He might try to just run away from me, or
he might just crouch down on the grass, hoping that
danger wouldn't see him and pass him on bar. Some
animals insist on carrying their hiding places right along with them.
Box tortoises do that, like the one there on the tabletop.
He has his head and feet out now, but when
(23:35):
I come close to him, he's going to pull them in.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
And not a sophisticated digital watch operation, it's all analog camera.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Is the lion sitting there in the back, he's carrying.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
It like a house as in and you can have
fun with a box toys.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
You've never seen one before.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
No, no, you can't, you can't. But the lion is
eating the box.
Speaker 13 (24:00):
Tortoise box has gone from North America.
Speaker 12 (24:04):
He's a pretty over line cup come back.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
It's not a pegow.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's Late with mo Kelly. I Am six forty with
Live Everywhere, the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
KFI mo Kelly Live on YouTube, Instagram, the iHeartRadio App.
I've never worked at at an amusement park. I don't
know if I would want to because it destroys all
the magic. You know, you get to see the rides
when the park is closed. It doesn't have the same
type of feel. It doesn't matter if it's Disneyland, Magic Mountain,
(24:51):
not s very farm. But when we talk about the
evolution of our economy and how people may fight for
job to pay a certain wage. Think about those people
who work at amusement parks. We've talked about how performance
at Disneyland wanted to unionize depending on their position.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Keep that in mind when I tell you this.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Six Flags is cutting one hundred and thirty five jobs
at Knots, Magic Mountain and other California parks, but they're
offering these employees the opportunity to continue in a part
time role or be paid out and also have some
sort of severance in separation package. What do we always say,
(25:37):
and this is where Mark and I usually agree, what
do we always say, If there's an opportunity for big
business corporations to get rid of people, they will, And
we talk about automation. If there's an opportunity to somehow
get rid of an employee and their benefits. This is
(25:58):
about getting rid of the employees and or their benefits,
moving them from full time to part time. They're going
to do it. So simply just asking for more money,
simply just unionizing, is not going to protect these shops.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Big picture, well, this also goes into the continuous conversation
we have about the inability to avoid the advancements of AI.
A lot of these jobs, especially working within the theme parks,
can go away. Ye if you simplify the control system
(26:34):
by which all these rides operate, and you can have
one person who may work a few hours, who instead
of having all these people are doing all the checks
and systems and all that, you just got one computer
that says the ride is good to go, and Bobby
consider the one control booth and say all right, here
we go, and then you're off. Well, that's also something
that is part of the bigger conversation.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And I don't know if these theme parks are moving
in the direction of having these monstrous rides anymore. I
think they're going to be more like the simulation rides
that you'll see at Disseeyland, like Star Tours, where it
is much more about a simulation, almost like a flight simulator,
(27:16):
as opposed to a fully built out roller coaster which
takes up many and many acres and you need a
number of people who are tending to it to your
point to walla. As far as the maintenance of it,
the checks of the ride from day to day. Think
about how often those rides are usually down for one
reason or another.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
Well, and this is also weird because even though they're
laying all these people off, they've done all this consolidation.
When you look deeper into this, they're about to spend
over a billion dollars over the next two years to
your point increase attractions, i e. Meeting places and areas
where young people can hang out. But they're also trying
(27:59):
to put more rides. The land is finite, yes, only
so many rides you can put in. They have to
move towards alternate forms of rides. It can't just be
roller coasters.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, and this is going to impact not to Berry Farm,
six Flags, Matcha Mountain and Valencia six Flags, Discovery Kingdom
in Vallejo, in California's Great America in Santa Clara.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I've never been to Great America? Has anyone anyone? I
didn't know that exists?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
No, I didn't know either, But I'm saying I've never been.
Mark hasn't been anywhere. He hasn't done any of the
theme parks. Don't get out much. Sorry, kids, it's just
all the presidents from now on. I know you haven't
been to Disneyland, but now I have as a kid,
but nothing in the past ten fifteen.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Years no, no, I'm an adult. Here we go. Here
were you there when Uncle Walt was there? I'm not
that old. You swined?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Oh wow, got real personal. But this is Oh did
you hear the story? And I'm just going off the
top of my head. Someone can find it. They had
shut down one of the rides at disney World, the
Star Wars ride, because it kept breaking down. I don't
know if it was sweet with someone on it. No, No,
(29:12):
they ended it all together because it kept breaking down.
And it's one of the new Star Wars rides. Oh,
like shut it down permanently. Oh, at disney World. And
I think the story broke today. I wish I had
it in front of me, but it's it's relevant to
this one. Let me look it up real quick.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
I'm looking forward iconic Disney World attraction closing very soon.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
That that was. This is Star Wars. It's Star Wars.
How much I know Disney World?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Star Wars, The Resistance, Rise of the Distance, Resistance, that's it.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
And they're shutting it down all together. That's impossible.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Yeah, the Empire won, sure did it?
Speaker 9 (29:50):
I don't know see it right now? It's saying that
Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain don't hold up and
those are going to be put on hold for a while.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
I was reading that they were shutting down Rise of
the Resistance for good.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
It says, did you know it? I'm just saying that's
what is being reported.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
No, I understanding, Like I'm looking at and it's saying
that once belove ride that that are closed forever. There's
a bunch of different things about them constantly closing and
reopening things for just rebuilding. Okay maybe no, no, no,
I mean but if rides or resistance, that just makes sense.
That's the best and biggest ride there. I know that
(30:33):
that's one of those Like, no, that's impossible.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
I'm seeing on Reddit that it was closed three hundred
and two days in twenty twenty two, which was over
eighty percent of the year. So apparently it's prone to
break down. And if you stick with the Teacups you
don't have to deal with that.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The Teacups from nineteen sixty five. Yeah, just stay in
the Teacups. I'm wondering, like, how did that ride last
for that long? And I have been on the Teacups.
I'm just saying, what is the allure? What is the
attraction at all the chillen vomiting.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
I think that would be about it, pretty much as
I talk about have an adult.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, that's one I can skip for the rest of
my life. Do they still have the submarines at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
I don't know, but I remember that I went on
that one.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
No, they turned they turned it into its horror, pure horror.
Really trapped in a can and they I don't know
how deep you're going, but when they steal that thing shut,
you feel the terror of being trapped in the damn
tin can. The entire time, all I was doing is
(31:36):
screaming on the inside, get me off of this hell hole.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
Yeah, it's not for claustrophobics. Oh Jesus, you're you're like,
you know, elbow to elbow with the person next to you.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
Yes, And when they they like fifteen feet one, they
know when you hear this that as they're closing that
the hatch and it goes like.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Nah, man, did they modify the ride so that it
was like the Titans submersible and you're all supposed to
pretend you're billionaire is about to get crushed?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That is very inappropriate.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
It is I'm just quoting the news People don't die
horribly quickly, but horribly. They certainly did, and they paid
good money for it, lots of money.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
KFI am six forty. We live on YouTube, Instagram, and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
You can listen to KFI everywhere.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Like you haven't.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
Noticed, KF I'm kost HD two
Speaker 12 (32:29):
Los Angeles, Orange County lives everywhere on the radio app
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
There is about well listen business. Nas Mochel says it
should work out.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
This bad time workout.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
It's Later with mo Kelly k IF I AM six forty.
We're live on YouTube, Instagram and the iHeartRadio app and
of course this wellness Wednesday. Claude Cooper joins us in studio.
It's great to see you, Claudine. Let's get right to it.
We've talked about wellness within the context of working out
and living our lives in a day to day fashion,
(01:03):
But what about this idea of wellness centric travel where
people are disconnecting, they're leaving their phones behind as best
they can, traveling to places where they're not enjoying the
trappings of modern lifestyle to somehow reset and recalibrate themselves.
(01:24):
It seems like now we have wellness integrated in every
form and fashion of our lives. It's not just going
on a vacation, but a vacation which is wellness focused.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Where would you come out on that.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Well, here's my question. Do you work out when you're
on vacation?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Absolutely, well, I definitely work out. Every time I go anywhere.
I look for the hotel gym, I look for classes
in the area. I definitely look for ways that I
can move my body when I'm traveling. But I read
through the article that you sent and I feel like
we're seeking to get grounded or to go do yoga
(02:04):
out of the country. Why can't we do it right here.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Maybe at Iconics or something.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I mean, we do it at Iconics, for sure, but
what about just getting outside in nature?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
What about connecting with the sunlight?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Now?
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Granted, I am fully aware that there are people who
live in neighborhoods where it's unsafe for them to go outside.
So I want to hold space for people who can't
actually go out and experience nature because of where they live.
But I don't feel like we have to necessarily take
(02:38):
a trip on an airplane to experience the benefits of
putting our feet in the grass, our face in the sunshine.
What the article said, resetting our connection with nature?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Why do we have to fly away for that?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And I think there's something that would be for me
depressing about the other word I can think of if
you spend these thousands of dollars to go to this
exotic location, and the play trip each way just burns
you out, so when you come back you feel as
if you've had no vacation at all. I try to
avoid spending a whole lot of money and putting so
much pressure on a physical location that makes me feel
(03:18):
better about life.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Ooh, but now we're veering off in the direction of
people who actually live their lives to wait for the
next trip, the next vacation. You and I are one
of the rare few people who wake up every day
with a zest for life, excited to go do the
(03:40):
job that we believe.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
We were created to do.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
But for many people, the joy that they find in
travel comes from the fact that every day they're going
to work at a job that really just maybe doesn't
fire them up. But they get their beans way. You know,
I've been there too. You know, they get their bills
paid and it's not horrible, but it's not great, and
(04:05):
it's not it's not making them feel like this is
what I live for. You and I we probably go
on a vacation and be ready to come back to work.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Tell the truth, yes, vacations can be too long.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Same and as far as being on the plane for many,
many hours. I also feel that there are health challenges
involved in sitting on a plane for many hours. A
lot of people have to wear compression socks. There's a
swelling that happens when you're seated for hours and hours.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
You're not careful exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So me personally, if I'm thinking about finding ways to
recreate or reconnect with nature, I'm going to find ways
that are closer to me in proximity. What are some
ways in southern California that we can reconnect with nature
without having to get on an airplane pay thousands of
dollars to be in a wilderness retreat.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It's interesting you say that, because, with the exception of
four h when I was growing up, I was not
one of those big outdoorsy people. We went to Joshua Tree,
we would camp, but that's not something I would do
as an adult. We were just talking about a story
yesterday about how Los Angeles City of Los Angeles is
ninety out of maybe one hundred major cities as far
as parks. In other words, those we live in a
(05:20):
very urban environment and it doesn't lend itself to that.
So these are issues on top of issues as we
try to find that place to disconnect in this world
which is just full of electronic connections.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I don't know if there is an answer.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Well, here's a few tips for anyone who's trying to
reconnect with nature and you live in an urban area,
there are still ways that you can adjust your lifestyle
so it's not dominated by screens and buy noises.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So here's a few things that I do.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I make sure that when the sun is up, my
drapes and shades are all so up. That's allowing natural
light to come in. And that's also resetting your circadian rhythm,
meaning when the sun comes up at let's say six
in the morning, if you're up, that's when you lift
your drapes and shades or open your blinds.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
That's one of the things that spoke of in the article,
that we are disconnected from our circadian rhythm, meaning we
go to bed at these odd hours, we sleep at
these odd hours. And as animals, which we are, we're
just like a regular animal.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
We need sunlight.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Our body needs rest, it needs water, and it needs sunlight.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean, are we a plant or are we an animal?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
But you know what I'm saying, No, absolutely, we need
all those things and sometimes not that we are need
to be watered like a plant, but we need to
be tended to consistently.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And part of that is also how we treat ourselves.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
It is another way is if you even have a
small patch of grass. Let's say, like for me, I
don't have a big yard. I definitely live in an
urban area, a concrete jungle. I live next door to
a football stadium, so there. It don't get much more
concrete jungle than that.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
They let you play on the field, ask.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I said, let yoga, Yeah, I sure have, Like, let's
have a yoga class.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I think.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's coming. It's coming, right.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
But I say that to say you can use a
small patch of grass. Take your socks off, take your
shoes off, place your bare feet in that small patch
of grass, and you are connecting to the ground also
called grounding, sometimes called earthing, and there is a direct
(07:42):
benefit to your health by placing your bare feet in
the grass or on the ground, not necessarily a concrete but.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
A viewer Darryl Sexton on our YouTube channel says, do
like die hard when you get to your destination, make
fists with your toes.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I don't know if that's the same.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Thing, if the same thing, we see it, We hear you, Darryl.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
When we come back, I gotta let you know about
Claudine's weekly free workout, which is going to be this Saturday,
and I'm gonna be there, so you get to CB fallout,
pass out with Claudine and she puts me through my
paces that are free community workout. Will tell you about
that next KFI AM six forty, YouTube, Instagram and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Forty KFI is Later with Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube,
Instagram and the iHeartRadio app. You can come join mo
town and then be amongst the mo migos as they're
calling themselves. I didn't name them that, but that's what
they're calling themselves. If you want to be a part
of the show in the YouTube or the Instagram chat
(08:49):
joining me right now as we continue our conversation is
Claudine Cooper. You can always go to Claudinecooper dot com
and find out what's going on with her. But a
part of what's going on with you, Claudine tell us
about this coming Saturday, in which I'll be joining you.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, every Saturday at nine am in Inglewood, there's a
free workout and you know, we just do calisthenics, body
weight conditioning. There's no equipment needed, there's no motors needed. Yep,
it's outside. There won't be any feet in the grass
because we have no grass. It's just on a basketball court.
You wear your tennis shoes, something comfortable, and you just
(09:24):
come with a positive attitude and a willingness to exercise.
It's all levels, it's families, it's elders, it's children.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Everybody comes.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
You'd have the times that I've been, this will be
my third time you have anyone like one hundred to
two hundred people.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
In my own You are correct, I definitely have a
big crowd.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
I never know this is so here's something kind of
crazy about being in fitness mo And I think, you know,
people get caught up in numbers these days. But when
I've been teaching classes, sometimes I've had five people show
up and then sometimes I have five hundred people show up.
But because there's no registration, I have to have the
(10:06):
same energy for five that I have for five hundred. Right,
And because I love what I do. I hope that
it does translate for five. But I remember a time
when do you remember this when the gyms used to
just tell you, hey, the aerobics class is at ten
(10:26):
am on Monday, right, And then people would just come
at ten am on Monday.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Okay, it's not like that anymore, guys. You got to
hear what they do now. Now you have to reserve
a spot. It's like Disneyland, literally, So check this out. No,
I got to tell you because it gets real crazy
about booking these spots. So the booking tool opens on
a certain day, so let's say tool. Yes, and it's
(10:53):
not just our gym in Englewood Iconics, but it's all gyms.
In order for you to get into the class that
you want, you have to have your phone, you have
to have the app, you have to book the class,
reserve the space.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So listen to this now.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Look, you told me to big up myself if there's
something I want to share. So I teach pilates in
a heated room. My pilates classes sell out in thirty seconds.
How many people is that thirty people can fit in
the room?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
And if I'm paying my money to the gym, and
I can never get into the class I want to
get in.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Is there any type of recourse?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Well, that's why I teach so many classes, because I'm
trying to accommodate the morning people, the night people, the
lunch hour exercisers. So I do my best to work
as much as I humanly possibly can. And then at
that point I usually will tell people, hey, someone might
(11:54):
drop off, just come check and see if you can
get a spot, and usually they can. But I really
miss the days when the class was at this time.
People just show up when the class starts and it's
first come, first served.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Okay, well, is there any penalty? Let's say I signed
up for your pilates class and I don't show.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Up, you are penalized. We charge a ten dollars no
show fee. Ah okay, that that really snatched people up
real quick. They stop, They stop doing that now they come.
It's also an accountability tool, absolutely yeah, because people don't
want to pay that ten dollars. I will say this though,
mom technology has helped in so many ways. One of
(12:35):
the ways, obviously, is now you know how many people
are coming to your class, because if it books out,
it's saying this is how many people are coming, But
for my outdoor workouts, I like to keep it old school.
Whoever comes comes, whoever can come will come. And on
that style of training, it opens me up to new connections,
(12:57):
new people.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't have a list to go from.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I just welcome everyone who wants to move their body
on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I want to move my body on a Saturday morning.
I'm going to join you in maybe one hundred to
one hundred and fifty people at the Inglewood Hollywood Park
retail district. Yeah, very quickly, let's explain how they should
get there, where they should park, and how they can
find us.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Well, at this point, most people know where Sofi Stadium is,
which is a good point of reference. But the actual
parking garage is on ninety seventh in Prairie, and we
validate the parking. There's a farmer's market. You can see
it from Prairie. It's kind of like tucked in the
basketball court. So once you get out of the parking garage,
you just walk through the community and you'll see us.
(13:44):
It's a big crowd. You can't miss us.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Do you have any specific plans for the weekend or
are you making it up as you go.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I like to freestyle on the weekends. I work a
lot Monday through Friday. I just taught a class before
I came to see you, and I sat in ninety
minutes of traffic.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I do want to say that I.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Normally don't have to It's usually like somewhere between an
hour to an hour fifteen, but today, I don't know
what was going on on the freeways. Today I ended
up sitting in traffic for ninety minutes. But it was
well worth it because I got a chance to see
you guys out here, and I love my CAFI family.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
So just let you know I'm going to be out
there with Claudine on Saturday. If you forget all this information,
you can go to Claudiancooper dot com. But I would
love to see you, especially if you're in the chat.
Come out and work out with us. It's a beautiful
experience because you're outdoors. It's it's a different experience outdoors
as opposed to indoors, and it's a nice way for
(14:44):
me to reset. You know, I need to change up
my workout from every now and then. I've done this
hopketo tournament for the past three months, I need to
change a pace, and this is going to be my
change of pace. I'd love to see you out there,
and Claudie, you can go ahead and whoop my ass.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Again like you are.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
You know.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
He always says that, you guys, but I want you
to know that Moe is very athletic.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I've never seen him fall out. Maybe he had to
catch his breath a couple of times, but that's all
part for the course.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Everyone in the life pace myself.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I was just gonna say it.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I don't start fast out the gate because I know
it's a long way to go.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I always tell people, please work at your own pace.
We are all on a journey. Everyone's at a different
place on their journey. There's no pressure to go super
hard or super fast.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So yeah, but man, we have this ego thing.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
We can't have the sixty five year old woman running
past us and that's gonna happen on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Let me tell you death to the ego.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I got to tell you one to say, though. Yeah,
I gotta tell you one thing.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
There was one woman and she was in the midst
of chemo therapy, and she came out there with barely
any hair, and she just whooped everybody, and I said
to myself, girl, you are a beast because she was
going toe to toe with me every move. So I say,
go at your own pace, do your own thing. But
(15:57):
if you can't push yourself, why.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Not Claudinecooper dot com. I will see you on Saturday, Claudide.
And also, please give out your social media.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I am fit with three. You can find me on Instagram, TikTok.
I'm pretty much on all social media platforms, but I
did go private on Facebook because the trolling got out
of control.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Oh you gotta tell me, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You know, I just said, you know what.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I'm gonna stay public on Instagram and TikTok, but I
am gonna go private for Facebook.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Always good to see you. I'll see you Saturday.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Always good to see you too.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Fortyfil Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app. And
it's happened again. Some idiot decided to get an animal,
a wild animal, and try to domesticate it as a pet,
and it ended horribly. In fact, a man tried to
get a hippo and it was killed by the hippo.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Now now that this guy.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Marius Els, who was forty an army major from the
Free State Province of South Africa. He took in a
baby hippo calf and according to the story, treated it
like a son.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
That was mistake number one. It's not a human, it's
not a pet.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Marius Els was bitten to death by the one point
two ton hippo who had the name of Humphrey. And
this was not the first incident with Humphrey, so there
were repeated chances for them to de pet and let
this hippo roam in the wild. According to news reports,
there had been several signs the animal would never be
(17:53):
able to be domesticated. In fact, there was an incident
where a fifty two year old man and his seven
year old son grandson had to climb i'm a tree
to get away from Humphrey when they canoed through the
section of the river on ELS's farm where Humphrey lived.
According to the story, Els had to tempt Humphrey away
with an apple, sorry, an apple. While the people were
(18:14):
rescued by paramedics. ELS's wife, Louise, a pharmacist, had also
expressed her concerns as the hippo had caused trouble before.
It had chased golfers on a nearby course and kir
and killed several calves belonging to ELS's business partner. If
you didn't know, hippos are said to kill more people
(18:35):
every year than lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo and rhinos combined.
In other words, they are known to kill people frequently.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
See now, you never saw this in the outtakes to
New Zoo review, Henrietta, No, I look.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
At the game Hungry Hippos differently, now, absolutely, that's about
hippos eatie NonStop.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
They're hungry for human flesh. Yes, did you ever play
that as a kid, Hungry Hippos? Everybody did? Everyone did?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well, I don't know, it's this look this new generation.
I don't know if they even play games anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
It's pretty low tech.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
Well, yeah, kids nowadays, they didn't know the competition of
watching your hippo devour more marbles than your competition. That
shouldn't let us know how angry and evil these hippos are.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Yeah, the marbles symbolized human heads. We didn't know it
when we were kids.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Since when did we ever start thinking that hippos could
be a pair?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
They are cute. You have to admit they're cute. Are
they cute? Especially the baby ones?
Speaker 10 (19:38):
You want the game got to and get the most
marbles with Hungry Hungry Hippos is the name of the game.
And who's ever hippo gets the most marbles? When Hungry
(20:01):
Hungry Hippos from Hasbro.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
That kind of slaps kind of you know, hip Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean, look, if we've talked about it now, someone
had like a pet, crocodile eating pet, lion eating pet,
hippo eating There's a common refrain here you cannot have
certain animals as pets. Ever, under any circumstances. They are
(20:27):
not meant to live with you. You're not supposed to
live with them. It doesn't matter if you had them,
since there are you know, a calf or a cube.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
A rule of thumb is if at some point an
animal could kill and eat you, it's not going to
be a good pet.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah. I don't think Riley or Benson going to be
able to eat me. I was never worried about that
with my kiddies.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
But the worst they we're going to do is leave
a little tutsie roll around.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
That's about it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
I never really connected the dots there with the fact
of how brutal, I mean, how fierce those competitions where
when you play hungry hunkpos with your friends.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah, it's based in science. They're killers. Wow, they are killers.
That makes sense.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
They are known to be ill tempered, just as ye
general against other animals. Other animals don't even go into
the water when they're there.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I saw did you ever watch like Wild Kingdom growing up? Oh?
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Yeah, Marlon Perkins always sent the young guy in where
Marlon stayed in the boat, always stayed way back.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, so you make sure this's like I'm gonna sit
here and narrate from afar real far.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
And always thought Mutual of Omaha was part of the
show because it's always Mutual of Omaha.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Wild Kingdom, well.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
It's an insurance company and I'm guessing some of their
premiums were for people who were eaten interacting with animals.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I actually do think that that was part of how
they got connected to the show.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
And it was Sunday Night.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I don't know if it was before after The Wonderful
World of Disney, and I believe it was before, but
I would watch it. My mother would have me take
a bath and then put me in my pajamas which
just came out of the dryer real hot, and then
I sit in front of the TV and watch this.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
In the Wild Kingdom, where death is swift, life depends
on a design for survival. Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom
is presented by the company with coverage for everyone. Mutual
of Omaha.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
There it is good times as a kid.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
It really was like from Chicago's named Lincoln Park Zoo.
Here is Marlon Perkins to lead our investigation off designs
for survival in the Wild Kingdom.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Well, I'm glad you could join us on Mutual Omaha's
Wild Kingdom. You know, almost all animals are designed for survival.
This little lion Crad is no exception. He has several
ways of defending himself.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
He might try to just run away from me, or
he might just crouch down on the grass, hoping that
danger wouldn't see him and pass him on bar. Some
animals insist on carrying their hiding places right along with them.
Box tortoises do that, like the one there on the tabletop.
He has his head and feet out now, but when
(23:35):
I come close to him, he's going to pull them in.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
And not a sophisticated digital watch operation, it's all analog camera.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Is the lion sitting there in the back, he's carrying.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
It like a house as in and you can have
fun with a box toys.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
You've never seen one before.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
No, no, you can't, you can't. But the lion is
eating the box.
Speaker 13 (24:00):
Tortoise box has gone from North America.
Speaker 12 (24:04):
He's a pretty over line cup come back.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
It's not a pegow.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's Late with mo Kelly. I Am six forty with
Live Everywhere, the iHeartRadio app.

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

I've never worked at at an amusement park. I don't
know if I would want to because it destroys all
the magic. You know, you get to see the rides
when the park is closed. It doesn't have the same
type of feel. It doesn't matter if it's Disneyland, Magic Mountain,
(24:51):
not s very farm. But when we talk about the
evolution of our economy and how people may fight for
job to pay a certain wage. Think about those people
who work at amusement parks. We've talked about how performance
at Disneyland wanted to unionize depending on their position.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Keep that in mind when I tell you this.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Six Flags is cutting one hundred and thirty five jobs
at Knots, Magic Mountain and other California parks, but they're
offering these employees the opportunity to continue in a part
time role or be paid out and also have some
sort of severance in separation package. What do we always say,
(25:37):
and this is where Mark and I usually agree, what
do we always say, If there's an opportunity for big
business corporations to get rid of people, they will, And
we talk about automation. If there's an opportunity to somehow
get rid of an employee and their benefits. This is
(25:58):
about getting rid of the employees and or their benefits,
moving them from full time to part time. They're going
to do it. So simply just asking for more money,
simply just unionizing, is not going to protect these shops.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Big picture, well, this also goes into the continuous conversation
we have about the inability to avoid the advancements of AI.
A lot of these jobs, especially working within the theme parks,
can go away. Ye if you simplify the control system
(26:34):
by which all these rides operate, and you can have
one person who may work a few hours, who instead
of having all these people are doing all the checks
and systems and all that, you just got one computer
that says the ride is good to go, and Bobby
consider the one control booth and say all right, here
we go, and then you're off. Well, that's also something
that is part of the bigger conversation.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And I don't know if these theme parks are moving
in the direction of having these monstrous rides anymore. I
think they're going to be more like the simulation rides
that you'll see at Disseeyland, like Star Tours, where it
is much more about a simulation, almost like a flight simulator,
(27:16):
as opposed to a fully built out roller coaster which
takes up many and many acres and you need a
number of people who are tending to it to your
point to walla. As far as the maintenance of it,
the checks of the ride from day to day. Think
about how often those rides are usually down for one
reason or another.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
Well, and this is also weird because even though they're
laying all these people off, they've done all this consolidation.
When you look deeper into this, they're about to spend
over a billion dollars over the next two years to
your point increase attractions, i e. Meeting places and areas
where young people can hang out. But they're also trying
(27:59):
to put more rides. The land is finite, yes, only
so many rides you can put in. They have to
move towards alternate forms of rides. It can't just be
roller coasters.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, and this is going to impact not to Berry Farm,
six Flags, Matcha Mountain and Valencia six Flags, Discovery Kingdom
in Vallejo, in California's Great America in Santa Clara.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I've never been to Great America? Has anyone anyone? I
didn't know that exists?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
No, I didn't know either, But I'm saying I've never been.
Mark hasn't been anywhere. He hasn't done any of the
theme parks. Don't get out much. Sorry, kids, it's just
all the presidents from now on. I know you haven't
been to Disneyland, but now I have as a kid,
but nothing in the past ten fifteen.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Years no, no, I'm an adult. Here we go. Here
were you there when Uncle Walt was there? I'm not
that old. You swined?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Oh wow, got real personal. But this is Oh did
you hear the story? And I'm just going off the
top of my head. Someone can find it. They had
shut down one of the rides at disney World, the
Star Wars ride, because it kept breaking down. I don't
know if it was sweet with someone on it. No, No,
(29:12):
they ended it all together because it kept breaking down.
And it's one of the new Star Wars rides. Oh,
like shut it down permanently. Oh, at disney World. And
I think the story broke today. I wish I had
it in front of me, but it's it's relevant to
this one. Let me look it up real quick.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
I'm looking forward iconic Disney World attraction closing very soon.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
That that was. This is Star Wars. It's Star Wars.
How much I know Disney World?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Star Wars, The Resistance, Rise of the Distance, Resistance, that's it.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
And they're shutting it down all together. That's impossible.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Yeah, the Empire won, sure did it?
Speaker 9 (29:50):
I don't know see it right now? It's saying that
Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain don't hold up and
those are going to be put on hold for a while.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
I was reading that they were shutting down Rise of
the Resistance for good.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
It says, did you know it? I'm just saying that's
what is being reported.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
No, I understanding, Like I'm looking at and it's saying
that once belove ride that that are closed forever. There's
a bunch of different things about them constantly closing and
reopening things for just rebuilding. Okay maybe no, no, no,
I mean but if rides or resistance, that just makes sense.
That's the best and biggest ride there. I know that
(30:33):
that's one of those Like, no, that's impossible.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
I'm seeing on Reddit that it was closed three hundred
and two days in twenty twenty two, which was over
eighty percent of the year. So apparently it's prone to
break down. And if you stick with the Teacups you
don't have to deal with that.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The Teacups from nineteen sixty five. Yeah, just stay in
the Teacups. I'm wondering, like, how did that ride last
for that long? And I have been on the Teacups.
I'm just saying, what is the allure? What is the
attraction at all the chillen vomiting.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
I think that would be about it, pretty much as
I talk about have an adult.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, that's one I can skip for the rest of
my life. Do they still have the submarines at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
I don't know, but I remember that I went on
that one.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
No, they turned they turned it into its horror, pure horror.
Really trapped in a can and they I don't know
how deep you're going, but when they steal that thing shut,
you feel the terror of being trapped in the damn
tin can. The entire time, all I was doing is
(31:36):
screaming on the inside, get me off of this hell hole.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
Yeah, it's not for claustrophobics. Oh Jesus, you're you're like,
you know, elbow to elbow with the person next to you.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
Yes, And when they they like fifteen feet one, they
know when you hear this that as they're closing that
the hatch and it goes like.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Nah, man, did they modify the ride so that it
was like the Titans submersible and you're all supposed to
pretend you're billionaire is about to get crushed?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That is very inappropriate.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
It is I'm just quoting the news People don't die
horribly quickly, but horribly. They certainly did, and they paid
good money for it, lots of money.
