Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well listening listen as you says you should work out
this baptism, don't work out.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
K IF I am six forty is Later with Mo
Kelly and Clauding Cooper. We are live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app in Clouding. It's great to see you. And
I know you're not a doctor and I'm not going
to put you in that chair, but you, like me,
are living through this time in which drugs like ozimpic
and others, these quote unquote wonder drugs are changing people's lives.
(01:04):
And these are what have been termed rightfully so as
off label uses. You know, it was designed for something else,
and they realized, oh wait a minute, people also losing
weight for it, and start people are using it specifically
for that reason. And now we have more information under
our belts because people have been using it for a
longer period of time. There's some unintended consequences and I
(01:26):
would love to get your thoughts. In US, it seems
that experts have sounded the alarm over drugs like ozempic
because some people are going blind because of it. Several
studies have linked the shots to conditions that cause inflammation
and block blood flow to the eye, causing severe and
sometimes permanent vision loss. That's not for you to worry about, okay,
(01:48):
But I do worry about the psychology of I'm willing
to risk this and that to get the body which
is supposedly healthier as opposed to putting in the work.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, I've spoken to a few people who have tried
these ozebic style drugs, and what they say is they've
tried everything up until this point. In other words, it
wasn't like a weight loss drug. It was actually designed
for people who were diabetic. That's what it originally came
out for, right, And so what they're saying is they
(02:24):
weren't able to get a good handle on their health
until they tried this, and then they were able to
see the weight loss or the decreased appetite and then
the more energy which allows them to get into the
gym and to do these things.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So it's hard for me to say is it good
or is it bad.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I don't think any of us should want to be
dependent on any kind of medication for a long period
of time.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So if there are these side effects.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I think if it served its purpose for a period
and you were able to get in and you're able
to lock in on your health goals, then you should
also be able to.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Reverse the need for medication at a certain point.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But we've seen in this i'll say celebrity culture. Sure, well,
thin is in Thin is the thing, not even being healthy,
but just being thin. We're seeing people who obviously didn't
need to use it, not for health reasons, but for
apparent's reasons. Actresses, even actors on some level using it
because they want to either stay rail thin or they
(03:30):
need to lose an extra ten to fifteen pounds.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
That's what concerns me.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Well, that's been happening for years and years, decades and decades,
and there's unhealthy ways to lose weight even before these
drugs came to fact. So I don't think that will
go away. If you're talking about people that are trying
to lose weight to be on a specific show or
movie or whatever. They've been doing that since who knows when?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Right, tell me when you are in the gym, and
I know you probably ear hustle people's conversations, Me, yes,
you too, Do you hear these types of drugs coming
up in conversation of people talking about them.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
So, actually, because I don't even have to ear hustle,
people are probably ear hustling between me and someone at
the gym because they often come to me and share
their journey with me. Right, And so I have spoken
to people who have used specifically ozembic and who have
(04:31):
seen some incredible results. Now those people are not currently blind,
I will tell you that, so currently not currently, but
what they're telling me is that over all the years
that they've been trying different methods to lose weight and
to get a handle on their health, this was the
(04:51):
first time they were able to And so for that
I can't be mad at.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
It, you know, No, I'm quite sure there are success stories,
and because one of the reasons that this is is
such a phenomenon is because it has changed people's lives.
But at the same time, this study suggests to me
that we may not know the long term implications of
that fantastic turnaround for some blindness for others.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
That's what we know right now. In your career and
the course of.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Doing what you do, do you think that what we're
experiencing with these weight loss drugs is cyclical.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Is this just the latest thing or is this something
really different?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Resolutely?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
No, you know it's cyclical. In fact, every so often
you'll have a trend, whatever that is. It might not
be a medical trend. It may not be medication. It
could be an eating trend. It could be a workout trend.
And you see people jump on the trend and lose
weight and this is the latest thing, and everybody needs
to be vegan, or everybody needs to at Kim Atkin's
(05:51):
diet whatever. Exactly, everyone should be doing boot camp style training.
That's the way, you know, that's training.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There's always going to be a fad that is.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Taking place in the health and fitness industry and people
jump on it and then later they find out.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh, well this has some side effects or this is
bad for this.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Or whatever, and you know, we just moved through it
to the next thing, right, But the real deal is
the consistent ability to lock into daily exercise and proper nutrition.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That's really what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
In your many years and you told us how you
started in the gym's some at eighteen years old, did
you ever find yourself more susceptible or less susceptible? To
some of these fads and programs and you know, what
was it one like ninety days?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
What was it X ninety or something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You tell me, Okay, I don't even know, right, did
you ever know what you mean?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yeah? So for me personal nine P ninety X yes,
uh huh. I've I've worked out pretty much my whole
adult life, and I really do think that all movement
is good movement. But I've done almost all of the movements.
So I used to do P ninety X, right, I
love that workout. I did the Insanity series. You know,
(07:15):
all these different things that have come out, I've done them.
I've tried them, and honestly, I mean, as long as
you don't feel like you have to get married to
one way.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't think it's bad to try the new ways.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Now, when it comes to medication, I can honestly say
I have never been on any medication, So for me,
I can't really weigh in as an expert. But when
people come to me and tell me that a medication
has changed their life, I can't be the negative Nelly
in here saying like, oh, don't do it, because I
(07:49):
see how happy they are with their new body, their
new lease on life, this new level of energy, and
so I want that for them. So if it took
the medication to get them there, then okay, so be it.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Claudian Cooper joins us in studio.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
We're talking about the possible side effects of ozempic and
how that impacts the psychology of people wanting to reach
either their weight loss goals or fitness goals, or they're
just body or parents or health goals.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
And real quick, a guy came up to me the
other day and said, Hey, I have a testimony for you.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I said, give it to me.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
He said, since I've been working out at this gym,
I'm no longer on my blood pressure medication and I'm
no longer on insulin.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Let's at church. Say amen, amen, I am six forty.
We'll have more with Clauding Cooper in just a moment.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six FORTYKF.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'm O Kelly and Clauding Cooper. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Also dubbed us the Nice Exercise Lady,
which was coined by Mark Runner, and from that we
got her official intro, which played last segment. All credit
due to Mark Roner because he was the inspiration. I
got in touch with Eric Lisardo and told him that
was the most brilliant thing he's ever done, and he's.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Done a lot of brilliant things.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, we love the jangle.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Before the break cludding, we were talking about ozempic and
how that has positively changed and impacted people's lives, and
we talked about some of the side effects that we're
now learning more about because people are taking it for
a longer period of time and we have a larger
sample size, if you will. And I was asking you
(09:33):
about the psychology of it. I wonder if someone who's
been in the gym since eighteen years old, and you
were telling me during the break that you've been pretty
much the same size because you've been consistent that full time,
does it make it more difficult for you when you're
dealing with clients or people who would be coming into
the gym who make the assumption it's easier for you,
(09:55):
because you know, let's say you're any bitty.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Well, I do think it is a little bit harder
to relate to someone who's always been the same size.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
And one thing about consistency is that it looks.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Effortless to people who see your results because they don't
see the effort that you put in to your consistent behavior.
Now we could be talking about anything. We don't necessarily
got to talk about exercise. We could be talking about
the consistency in your career, or your marriage or anything parenting.
(10:32):
But what people see as the results and so they
don't really see the work that goes into it. And so, yes,
you are correct. I've had conversations with people in the past.
I'll give you an example. I was at a house party.
Actually it was a backyard boogie, you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Know what I saw you at, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
And someone said to me, are you still teaching your classes?
And I said, yes, I'm still teaching my classes. And
she said, I keep saying I'm going to go to
one of your classes, but I just don't think you'll
be able to train me because you've never been big.
And I was like, uh, I train all sizes, all shapes,
(11:12):
and all levels. But I don't think that she felt
that I was relatable.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Mm hm or she could You could meet her where
she was right right.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I think people have this, you know, maybe like a
perception that I'm just gonna be moving at a pace
that works best for my size, but I won't be
able to welcome in people from various sizes, shapes, and levels,
which is you know you've been to my workouts.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know that's completely false.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And I know you do have that sixth gear where
you can take it up where people will start falling
out if you need to go there.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I definitely do, And when I'm going to my classes
at Equinox, I take it to the sixth gear because
the people who are at Equinox want the sixth here.
But when I'm working with all levels in a free
community workout or at a place where there's people who have,
maybe you know, a sedentary lifestyle, I take my time.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
I know how to.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I've been doing it long enough to know how to
gauge the different levels.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
How do you try to how do you manage to
break through to someone like that who may be very
self conscious about his or her bodies, both sexist, who
be self conscious, and they may not have worked out
in years years? What's that icebreaker like in a training sense?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well, one thing I always tell people is like, don't
just come into the gym after having a long period
of sedentary time and try to go hard, like go
one hundred right, take your time. Start by walking, Start
by doing small steps to get.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
To a bigger goal. The pool is a great way
to start.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
If you have access to a pool and you may
have some mobility issues or joint issues, getting in the
pool is a great low impact way to still move
your body and to see some really good results, but
to not overdo it right away. Also, walking walking is
an amazing exercise for all levels.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I'll swear by it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You swear by it exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I see you walk around the station too, and so anyways,
there's ways that you can go into it. The problem
is when we want to go in and we want
to be our high school athletic self after living a
sedentary lifestyle for a period.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well, high school's only five six decades.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Behind us six years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's amazing how quickly the time goes by. And I
was talking to Twalla the other day and he was
talking about how he pulled a muscle just stretching his chest,
you know, and I remember I hurt myself. Don't know
how just waking up in the morning like a sprain
by ankle.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Somehow, well, somehow, well, I hear women say all the time.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So one thing you may not know, which is a
common thing with women my age, is the frozen shoulder.
So the frozen shoulder is something that happens during menopause
to a lot of women, and it happens from doing
absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
You're like, what just happened.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I wasn't even lifting weights, I wasn't even doing any
type of workout, and my shoulder is basically immobile. Even you,
it doesn't happen to me. But I can relate because
we as people over fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Now that I'm one over, why ya always gonna bring
me into your stuff?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
You are over fifty. Everybody knows I'm over fifty. We're
still working on mark.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Those of us who are over fifty know that you
can do absolutely nothing and find yourself injured. I reached
in the back of your Oh shoot, what just happened?
But there are ways around it, And that's why I'm saying,
I definitely employ these practices to keep my body mobile.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So there are.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Ways wake up, stretch the body. Yes, that's a big one, right,
huge one. Another big one is making sure that you
incorporate some kind of exercise every single day, not three
days a week, not five days a week, moving the
body daily. Even on a day when you're not at
(15:31):
work or you're not this is your rest day, you
should still be doing something to keep your body in motion.
Motion is the lotion you know. That means our joints
need the motion. So that's one of the reasons why
I don't think I've experienced the frozen shoulder, but I
can relate to it because I notice how stiff I
(15:52):
get if I'm not doing my practices.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I'm going to tell you what my pastor used to
tell me when he is alive. If it hasn't happened yet,
keep on living.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Oh I My grandmother used to say, keep on living,
keep on living, yep, yep. And so I'm going to
keep on living, God willing, and we'll see what happens.
I'll report back next Wednesday very quickly.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
The free community workouts are coming back when again.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
March first, Saturday morning, nine am, in partnership with Cedar
Sinai Hollywood Park, and we're doing it while the Farmer's
market is going on, so it'll be Farmers Market. Work
out a lot of stuff going on over there in Inglewood.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
If you haven't noticed, well, I have to come over
there and work out with you and all the beautiful
people of Inglewood again sometime soon. We'd love to see you,
mo Claudie Cooper dot com go there right now, get
the information, make sure you're part of her community, and
you know, maybe have a new body for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'd love it.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
It's Later with Mo Kelly. We'll see you soon, Clauding Cooper,
Yes you will.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And this next story we're going to talk about with
Disney doesn't make sense to me. Something that is obvious
to you, obvious to me, and anyone who has ever
attended a Disney park or attraction in recent years already
knows this. But seemingly, internally Disney they don't know what
(17:26):
to do. Disney executives are reportedly concerned about the costs
of visiting one of their parks or any of their parks,
as reported in a new feature from The Wall Street Journal,
Internal reports for Disney show that the number of visitors
planning future trips has been on the decline since the
(17:47):
end of twenty twenty three. While visits for the last
fourth quarter were still up, one percent, growth is significantly
lower than the six percent growth seen in the same
quarter a year ago. People are going to Disney parks,
and we know that the rising cost of a Disney
vacation is the primary reason for this downward trend, or
(18:08):
at least Disney executives know that, and that's something according
to the report, Disney executives like CFO Hugh Johnston have
talked about in a roundabout way during past earning calls,
according to the story, but also concern is growing internally,
particularly in the department's crunching visitor numbers.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Basically, Disney is concerned that fewer.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
People are planning to go to Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Tokyo,
or any of their parks, and they wonder, wonder whether
it might be the cost of the park or the
cost of the Disney experience altogether, the hotels, let me
just move everything out of the way, Yes, yes, How
(18:58):
often and for how long have we talked about the
cost prohibitive nature of the tickets, how they've been increasing
this past that past, lightning past all of this.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
I talked tout.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
It's like, look, I can't go to Disneyland, hadn't gone
for like fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Why because of the costs.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
And you want a family of four to stay at
a Disneyland hotel, which might be one thousand dollars a night,
not including the.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Cost of admission to the park.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yes, yes, it's way too expensive for an average family
to enjoy. And that's assuming that you're not coming from
out of state and you're flying in.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Now.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
See, the interesting rub on this story is that they're
talking about forecasted trips to Disneyland, i e. Them looking
at the research coming in from vacation bookings and things
like that that they get from Disneyland Hotel because you
got resilience ticket sales, all that kind of stuff. But
it does not take into account the still overwhelming number
(19:58):
of day of and week tickets that are sold. So
I understand how them forecasting long term saying, hey man,
over the course of this year, our reservations are down,
but still the theme park is packed out every single day,
so their day of numbers are still high, which is
an interesting kind of number to look at.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, the day of As far as people packing the
park is one thing, but those could be people like
me and you who live in southern California who are
not going to stay in the hotel, and the hotel
revenue is still a part of that larger equation of
them making money.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
And my thing is, you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
You can't be concerned about your revenue and not know
that one of the key components of that revenue is
the cost of the product itself. And it's not a
secret to anyone. It's expensive to go to the Disneyland.
Is it a great experience? Absolutely? Is it also an
expensive experience? Absolutely if you're selling fifty dollars blue milk
(20:56):
or whatever it is. There's nothing which is reasonably priced
in a Disneyland park. Even though I love it, I
know it's not something that most families. I'm talking about
family of four or five people like you, twaller when
you've gone with your family, that stuff is not cheap.
And I do believe we've talked about this. There is
(21:16):
a point where that elasticity is there is a breaking point.
There is a point where people will not pay more
than that or just say I can't afford that, And
it's just kind of funny to me for Disney internally
to realize, oh my gosh, there may be a problem
with our pricing. And that was part of the reason
why by Vieger had come back. Yeah, and also why
Disney was continuing to focus on some amusement parks because
(21:39):
things were not where they should be long term, long
term forecast.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
For me, I don't think it's all that deep.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
If I'm not going to reserve a three day stay
at the hotel Disneyland Hotel, that's at least three thousand.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Dollars, and that's just for two people, double occupancy.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
We're not talking about a room for the kids, or
they're gonna have to stay in the room with us
and they're sleeping in one bed, me and the wife
in another bed.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
That's not necessarily an option.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Well, the thing that we have pointed out the last
time we looked at this was that they could by
all accounts, I'm not trying to get into Disney's pockets, gud.
I don't know what they're doing with all their money,
but when we last looked at theme park numbers, they
were well into the blacks. So it's like it was
(22:25):
a mystery as to why they were increasing the prices.
Was it to help shore up some of the losses
maybe that their experienced at the box office.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I can tell you what it is, Mark Roner.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You want to tell Tuala why they raised the prices
because they could thank you, all right, as you're saying,
oh greedy, I mean, you know, I don't think it's that.
I really don't think it's that deep. My bad, because
they could. They knew for a long period of time
they kept raising the prices and to your point, Tuala,
the parks were still packed.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
There was no reason for them to pull back.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And I think they're realizing they're almost at that point
that law of diminishing returns where they're not getting the
type of return on the investment when they raise the
ticket prices. They're not seeing the same type of growth.
They said it was from six percent to one percent.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
So they must be.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Right at that line where if they keep going in
this direction of raising prices, they're going to go from
the black to red's. That's what I think, you know,
because if you could if you can see the diminishing growth, well, okay,
you're starting to move in the other direction. Maybe they're
right at the sweet spot right now. But let's put
this in a larger context of where people feel about
(23:34):
the economy. You know, we've just had a report which
came out today about inflation going back up to three
percent for the last quarter. Well, that's going to impact
people's future vacation plans. I'm sure you know, if you
going back to the classic idea of eggs, if people
are actually worried about eggs, whether we think that's real
or not, if they are really concerned about the price index,
(23:58):
consumer price index, well, Disneyland is not going to be
on the list for vacations. It just won't be you'll
be doing maybe you'll drive to Death Valley or something,
maybe you go to Knotsbury Farm, but it won't be
a vacation for five coming from Iowa to Los Angeles
to go to Disneyland and stay at the Disneyland Hotel,
where two or three years ago maybe they would have
(24:20):
been more open to it.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
And this is actually not the time that Disney Adventure
Parks can afford this with the proposed expansion right that
they're looking.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
They're doing.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
You can expand but not be making money. You can
expand when people are saying I'm not spending my money
on Disneyland like that. People from out of state, those
of us who live there who have the California discount, Yeah,
we're good, we'll go.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And families who plan a vacation, they're planning well in advance,
and they have to look at those prices and take
a good long look at whether they can afford it,
whether it's reasonable, and whether you want to spend let's
be honest, most of your money on just the hotel,
because part of the Disneyland resort is the hotel experience.
(25:08):
You want to be somewhat close. Now, yes, you can
stay across the street at the Vagabond Inn or whatever.
But if you're trying to get that full experience, which
Disneyland is offering and promoting, you want to be at
one of those hotels Pixar Place or Pixar Hotel or uh,
you know, any one of them.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I think I've stayed in two or three of them.
They're really nice.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It's a great experience, and you open your door and
you ride it downtown Jasity. You can't beat it, but
you're gonna pay for that. It's really expensive.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
That was a real hotel. I think it was on Figaroa.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I know.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
He said that I threw me. I was like, well
that's a throwback. Oh yeah, I can look that up.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
The Vagabond Inn was notorious for for uh, the employees
walking around on the street. It's laterd with Mo Kelly
can if I Am six forty we live everywhere in
the iHeart. When we come back, We're gonna bring to
Tiffany Hobbs early because she has a bone to pick
with Twala with his obsession with this way Mo thing.
(26:07):
Tiffany Hobbs has been posting videos and sending us videos
of these wayward way mos.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
And now Tiffany Hobbs is going to have her chance
to set Twalla sharp straight.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
I'm Huggingala.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Oh no, no, no, you gonna learn tonight, Twala, you
gonna learn.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
With Mo Kelly on.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Six live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and we've been
having a conversation off air about the Vagabond In with
various memories. I was talking about Disney and how you
want to stay on campus at the Disneyland resort.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
You don't want to stay across the street.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
And I just threw out the name of a hotel,
the vagabond In, the one I know of, and don't
ask me why, I just know of it on Figaroa,
right next to usc was I wouldn't say world famous,
but more like La Infamous, And I wasn't sure whether
it was still open.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I'm getting conflicting information on the web.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
So when I get a chance, go I to see
if I can call over there with the number which
was last listed and see if I can reserve a room.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
But Tiffany Hobbs, you had some vagabond In information.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
I don't have experience at the experience, but I do
have information. There is a vagabond In that is very
much open. It is right near the Glendale Galleria, that
whole area that's shopping area, and it's on Colorado, And
if you're passing down Colorado, you can actually see the
Glendale Galleria and kind of that shopping center from the
(27:49):
front of the hotel. So that one is advertised as
a perfect place to stay if you want to do
some local shopping.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Or hang out hour by hour? Do they charge by the.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Hour I wouldn't know, Mo. Let's ask MO what I
like is.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So I found one in San Pedro. But as far
as I remember, the one that you're talking about, Mo,
it was next to a McDonald's. This one's also next
to a McDonald's. Oh, I think there's a theme. There's
a theme here.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, you can go.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Get your eat on and then you can go never mind, Okay,
I won't say it, but you know I was thinking it. Yeah,
the vagabond in had a reputation. Put it that way,
where it catered to local talent. That's the only way
I can describe it. And it was it was worse
(28:46):
than motel sex. Sorry vagabond, if you're hearing this, it's
just true. And uh, it just did not have the
reputation of you just don't want to be caught there
because there might be something illegal going on in and
around that particular hotel. I will say was in the hotel,
but just in and around the hotel. But I didn't
bring you on early, Tiffany Hobbs for that. I want
(29:08):
you to, in your words, explain what you had been
sending to both me and Tuala regarding Weimo.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Well, I know Tuala is a Weimo officionado. I still
think he is on the payroll, but he disputes that.
But because Tuala speaks so favorably and highly of Weimo,
I've made it my singular mission in life to find
every post on social media, anything on television, whatever I
can find that aims to take down Weimo. So I
(29:39):
find these things and I will send them to you.
I will tag you guys in them on social media,
making sure that Tuala sees all of the antipical evidence
against his beloved Weimo.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
What did you find? What are some of the videos
that you found?
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Well, today there was a Weimo that went rogue that
seems to be the thing that Weimo.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Is malicious Slanders.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
This particular Waimo did not spin around in circles like
the previous Weimo that held that poor man hostage at
the airport. No, this one decided to fly through an
intersection in the San Francisco area, hitting a pothole and
practically bottoming out the entire chassis as it went through
(30:23):
this intersection because run lights, it just it could not
read the construction that was happening, and it just flew
through this intersection.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Can you imagine if there was a person in there. Toualad.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
It just slow down in construction zones, you know that
right now here in California. I swear none of y'all
on this microphe right now. Better act like people weren't
already running through lights and all that in the rain,
no less today.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
If I were to pay for an uber driver like
Stefan and he or she were to do something as reckless,
we would have a problem just because other people are
driving record Now.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
It doesn't excuse weimo, you know what exactly. It does
excuse the fact that people are worse. And I want
you to know, Tiffany, the legal department in Weymo will
be contacting you, you know at tiff Hobbs on here.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Okay, say them my way, because I have plenty of evidence.
What about the Weimo yesterday on Crenshaw Boulevard and Jefferson
Avenue Boulevard, doesn't matter that was pointed east while sitting
on Jefferson in traffic at a blinking stop light because
the light was out and this Weimo was the lead
car pointed east at this light that you're supposed to
(31:38):
treat like a four way stop.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
But the way MOO was not intelligent enough to read
it as a.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
Four weights, you know, and sat there and had the
nerve the gall to put its hazard lights on and
to turn its little wheels back and forth as if
it were going to make a move, and it did.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Swear, you are talking about.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Anyone's anyone's grandparent who needs to have their license taken away.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Okay, if that's the case, then Weymo needs to have
its life. This is this is a singular case. That
is why it is so malicious in nature to point
these things out against Waimo and ignore all the things
you people do.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
You know what they call a person who murders one
person a murderer singular.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Do not connect murder that.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
We know of a singer.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Care are no bodies buried in Waymo as far as
we know, as far as we know, Do not bring
that grandmother up again.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Was not drugs.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
She was in the street and no one can answer
why she was in the street.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
Was walking around?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's a callback and I want my rim shot, thank you?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Why do you think she was in the street? Back
about it? Good because it's time to go to break
and we come back. Tiffy Hobbs with a viral load
can if I am six forty. See Stefan, that is
how you do a call back exactly. I agree with you.
But you said that, you said yesterday that that didn't
(33:27):
know because you here we go, Yes, I got time. Okay,
he just repeated it.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You brought the you brought it back from as a
subject of the conversation into this part of the conversation.
Put it at the end right there. He just repeated it.
That's the difference. You shift those goalposts like a pro. Okay,
trying to teach you how to do radio. Oh wow, okay,
reset it six forty. We're live everywhere in our heart
(33:55):
radio app.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Common Sense left California long time ago.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
We're bringing it back. K f I and k ost
HD
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Two Los Angeles, Orange County live everywhere on the E
Radio
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well listening listen as you says you should work out
this baptism, don't work out.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
K IF I am six forty is Later with Mo
Kelly and Clauding Cooper. We are live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app in Clouding. It's great to see you. And
I know you're not a doctor and I'm not going
to put you in that chair, but you, like me,
are living through this time in which drugs like ozimpic
and others, these quote unquote wonder drugs are changing people's lives.
(01:04):
And these are what have been termed rightfully so as
off label uses. You know, it was designed for something else,
and they realized, oh wait a minute, people also losing
weight for it, and start people are using it specifically
for that reason. And now we have more information under
our belts because people have been using it for a
longer period of time. There's some unintended consequences and I
(01:26):
would love to get your thoughts. In US, it seems
that experts have sounded the alarm over drugs like ozempic
because some people are going blind because of it. Several
studies have linked the shots to conditions that cause inflammation
and block blood flow to the eye, causing severe and
sometimes permanent vision loss. That's not for you to worry about, okay,
(01:48):
But I do worry about the psychology of I'm willing
to risk this and that to get the body which
is supposedly healthier as opposed to putting in the work.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, I've spoken to a few people who have tried
these ozebic style drugs, and what they say is they've
tried everything up until this point. In other words, it
wasn't like a weight loss drug. It was actually designed
for people who were diabetic. That's what it originally came
out for, right, And so what they're saying is they
(02:24):
weren't able to get a good handle on their health
until they tried this, and then they were able to
see the weight loss or the decreased appetite and then
the more energy which allows them to get into the
gym and to do these things.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So it's hard for me to say is it good
or is it bad.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I don't think any of us should want to be
dependent on any kind of medication for a long period
of time.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So if there are these side effects.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I think if it served its purpose for a period
and you were able to get in and you're able
to lock in on your health goals, then you should
also be able to.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Reverse the need for medication at a certain point.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But we've seen in this i'll say celebrity culture. Sure, well,
thin is in Thin is the thing, not even being healthy,
but just being thin. We're seeing people who obviously didn't
need to use it, not for health reasons, but for
apparent's reasons. Actresses, even actors on some level using it
because they want to either stay rail thin or they
(03:30):
need to lose an extra ten to fifteen pounds.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
That's what concerns me.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Well, that's been happening for years and years, decades and decades,
and there's unhealthy ways to lose weight even before these
drugs came to fact. So I don't think that will
go away. If you're talking about people that are trying
to lose weight to be on a specific show or
movie or whatever. They've been doing that since who knows when?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Right, tell me when you are in the gym, and
I know you probably ear hustle people's conversations, Me, yes,
you too, Do you hear these types of drugs coming
up in conversation of people talking about them.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
So, actually, because I don't even have to ear hustle,
people are probably ear hustling between me and someone at
the gym because they often come to me and share
their journey with me. Right, And so I have spoken
to people who have used specifically ozembic and who have
(04:31):
seen some incredible results. Now those people are not currently blind,
I will tell you that, so currently not currently, but
what they're telling me is that over all the years
that they've been trying different methods to lose weight and
to get a handle on their health, this was the
(04:51):
first time they were able to And so for that
I can't be mad at.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
It, you know, No, I'm quite sure there are success stories,
and because one of the reasons that this is is
such a phenomenon is because it has changed people's lives.
But at the same time, this study suggests to me
that we may not know the long term implications of
that fantastic turnaround for some blindness for others.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
That's what we know right now. In your career and
the course of.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Doing what you do, do you think that what we're
experiencing with these weight loss drugs is cyclical.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Is this just the latest thing or is this something
really different?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Resolutely?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
No, you know it's cyclical. In fact, every so often
you'll have a trend, whatever that is. It might not
be a medical trend. It may not be medication. It
could be an eating trend. It could be a workout trend.
And you see people jump on the trend and lose
weight and this is the latest thing, and everybody needs
to be vegan, or everybody needs to at Kim Atkin's
(05:51):
diet whatever. Exactly, everyone should be doing boot camp style training.
That's the way, you know, that's training.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There's always going to be a fad that is.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Taking place in the health and fitness industry and people
jump on it and then later they find out.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh, well this has some side effects or this is
bad for this.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Or whatever, and you know, we just moved through it
to the next thing, right, But the real deal is
the consistent ability to lock into daily exercise and proper nutrition.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That's really what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
In your many years and you told us how you
started in the gym's some at eighteen years old, did
you ever find yourself more susceptible or less susceptible? To
some of these fads and programs and you know, what
was it one like ninety days?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
What was it X ninety or something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You tell me, Okay, I don't even know, right, did
you ever know what you mean?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yeah? So for me personal nine P ninety X yes,
uh huh. I've I've worked out pretty much my whole
adult life, and I really do think that all movement
is good movement. But I've done almost all of the movements.
So I used to do P ninety X, right, I
love that workout. I did the Insanity series. You know,
(07:15):
all these different things that have come out, I've done them.
I've tried them, and honestly, I mean, as long as
you don't feel like you have to get married to
one way.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't think it's bad to try the new ways.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Now, when it comes to medication, I can honestly say
I have never been on any medication, So for me,
I can't really weigh in as an expert. But when
people come to me and tell me that a medication
has changed their life, I can't be the negative Nelly
in here saying like, oh, don't do it, because I
(07:49):
see how happy they are with their new body, their
new lease on life, this new level of energy, and
so I want that for them. So if it took
the medication to get them there, then okay, so be it.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Claudian Cooper joins us in studio.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
We're talking about the possible side effects of ozempic and
how that impacts the psychology of people wanting to reach
either their weight loss goals or fitness goals, or they're
just body or parents or health goals.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
And real quick, a guy came up to me the
other day and said, Hey, I have a testimony for you.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I said, give it to me.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
He said, since I've been working out at this gym,
I'm no longer on my blood pressure medication and I'm
no longer on insulin.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Let's at church. Say amen, amen, I am six forty.
We'll have more with Clauding Cooper in just a moment.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six FORTYKF.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'm O Kelly and Clauding Cooper. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Also dubbed us the Nice Exercise Lady,
which was coined by Mark Runner, and from that we
got her official intro, which played last segment. All credit
due to Mark Roner because he was the inspiration. I
got in touch with Eric Lisardo and told him that
was the most brilliant thing he's ever done, and he's.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Done a lot of brilliant things.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, we love the jangle.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Before the break cludding, we were talking about ozempic and
how that has positively changed and impacted people's lives, and
we talked about some of the side effects that we're
now learning more about because people are taking it for
a longer period of time and we have a larger
sample size, if you will. And I was asking you
(09:33):
about the psychology of it. I wonder if someone who's
been in the gym since eighteen years old, and you
were telling me during the break that you've been pretty
much the same size because you've been consistent that full time,
does it make it more difficult for you when you're
dealing with clients or people who would be coming into
the gym who make the assumption it's easier for you,
(09:55):
because you know, let's say you're any bitty.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Well, I do think it is a little bit harder
to relate to someone who's always been the same size.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
And one thing about consistency is that it looks.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Effortless to people who see your results because they don't
see the effort that you put in to your consistent behavior.
Now we could be talking about anything. We don't necessarily
got to talk about exercise. We could be talking about
the consistency in your career, or your marriage or anything parenting.
(10:32):
But what people see as the results and so they
don't really see the work that goes into it. And so, yes,
you are correct. I've had conversations with people in the past.
I'll give you an example. I was at a house party.
Actually it was a backyard boogie, you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Know what I saw you at, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
And someone said to me, are you still teaching your classes?
And I said, yes, I'm still teaching my classes. And
she said, I keep saying I'm going to go to
one of your classes, but I just don't think you'll
be able to train me because you've never been big.
And I was like, uh, I train all sizes, all shapes,
(11:12):
and all levels. But I don't think that she felt
that I was relatable.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Mm hm or she could You could meet her where
she was right right.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I think people have this, you know, maybe like a
perception that I'm just gonna be moving at a pace
that works best for my size, but I won't be
able to welcome in people from various sizes, shapes, and levels,
which is you know you've been to my workouts.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know that's completely false.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And I know you do have that sixth gear where
you can take it up where people will start falling
out if you need to go there.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I definitely do, And when I'm going to my classes
at Equinox, I take it to the sixth gear because
the people who are at Equinox want the sixth here.
But when I'm working with all levels in a free
community workout or at a place where there's people who have,
maybe you know, a sedentary lifestyle, I take my time.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
I know how to.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I've been doing it long enough to know how to
gauge the different levels.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
How do you try to how do you manage to
break through to someone like that who may be very
self conscious about his or her bodies, both sexist, who
be self conscious, and they may not have worked out
in years years? What's that icebreaker like in a training sense?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well, one thing I always tell people is like, don't
just come into the gym after having a long period
of sedentary time and try to go hard, like go
one hundred right, take your time. Start by walking, Start
by doing small steps to get.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
To a bigger goal. The pool is a great way
to start.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
If you have access to a pool and you may
have some mobility issues or joint issues, getting in the
pool is a great low impact way to still move
your body and to see some really good results, but
to not overdo it right away. Also, walking walking is
an amazing exercise for all levels.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I'll swear by it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You swear by it exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I see you walk around the station too, and so anyways,
there's ways that you can go into it. The problem
is when we want to go in and we want
to be our high school athletic self after living a
sedentary lifestyle for a period.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well, high school's only five six decades.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Behind us six years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's amazing how quickly the time goes by. And I
was talking to Twalla the other day and he was
talking about how he pulled a muscle just stretching his chest,
you know, and I remember I hurt myself. Don't know
how just waking up in the morning like a sprain
by ankle.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Somehow, well, somehow, well, I hear women say all the time.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So one thing you may not know, which is a
common thing with women my age, is the frozen shoulder.
So the frozen shoulder is something that happens during menopause
to a lot of women, and it happens from doing
absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
You're like, what just happened.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I wasn't even lifting weights, I wasn't even doing any
type of workout, and my shoulder is basically immobile. Even you,
it doesn't happen to me. But I can relate because
we as people over fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Now that I'm one over, why ya always gonna bring
me into your stuff?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
You are over fifty. Everybody knows I'm over fifty. We're
still working on mark.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Those of us who are over fifty know that you
can do absolutely nothing and find yourself injured. I reached
in the back of your Oh shoot, what just happened?
But there are ways around it, And that's why I'm saying,
I definitely employ these practices to keep my body mobile.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So there are.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Ways wake up, stretch the body. Yes, that's a big one, right,
huge one. Another big one is making sure that you
incorporate some kind of exercise every single day, not three
days a week, not five days a week, moving the
body daily. Even on a day when you're not at
(15:31):
work or you're not this is your rest day, you
should still be doing something to keep your body in motion.
Motion is the lotion you know. That means our joints
need the motion. So that's one of the reasons why
I don't think I've experienced the frozen shoulder, but I
can relate to it because I notice how stiff I
(15:52):
get if I'm not doing my practices.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I'm going to tell you what my pastor used to
tell me when he is alive. If it hasn't happened yet,
keep on living.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Oh I My grandmother used to say, keep on living,
keep on living, yep, yep. And so I'm going to
keep on living, God willing, and we'll see what happens.
I'll report back next Wednesday very quickly.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
The free community workouts are coming back when again.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
March first, Saturday morning, nine am, in partnership with Cedar
Sinai Hollywood Park, and we're doing it while the Farmer's
market is going on, so it'll be Farmers Market. Work
out a lot of stuff going on over there in Inglewood.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
If you haven't noticed, well, I have to come over
there and work out with you and all the beautiful
people of Inglewood again sometime soon. We'd love to see you,
mo Claudie Cooper dot com go there right now, get
the information, make sure you're part of her community, and
you know, maybe have a new body for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'd love it.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
It's Later with Mo Kelly. We'll see you soon, Clauding Cooper,
Yes you will.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And this next story we're going to talk about with
Disney doesn't make sense to me. Something that is obvious
to you, obvious to me, and anyone who has ever
attended a Disney park or attraction in recent years already
knows this. But seemingly, internally Disney they don't know what
(17:26):
to do. Disney executives are reportedly concerned about the costs
of visiting one of their parks or any of their parks,
as reported in a new feature from The Wall Street Journal,
Internal reports for Disney show that the number of visitors
planning future trips has been on the decline since the
(17:47):
end of twenty twenty three. While visits for the last
fourth quarter were still up, one percent, growth is significantly
lower than the six percent growth seen in the same
quarter a year ago. People are going to Disney parks,
and we know that the rising cost of a Disney
vacation is the primary reason for this downward trend, or
(18:08):
at least Disney executives know that, and that's something according
to the report, Disney executives like CFO Hugh Johnston have
talked about in a roundabout way during past earning calls,
according to the story, but also concern is growing internally,
particularly in the department's crunching visitor numbers.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Basically, Disney is concerned that fewer.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
People are planning to go to Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Tokyo,
or any of their parks, and they wonder, wonder whether
it might be the cost of the park or the
cost of the Disney experience altogether, the hotels, let me
just move everything out of the way, Yes, yes, How
(18:58):
often and for how long have we talked about the
cost prohibitive nature of the tickets, how they've been increasing
this past that past, lightning past all of this.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
I talked tout.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
It's like, look, I can't go to Disneyland, hadn't gone
for like fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Why because of the costs.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
And you want a family of four to stay at
a Disneyland hotel, which might be one thousand dollars a night,
not including the.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Cost of admission to the park.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yes, yes, it's way too expensive for an average family
to enjoy. And that's assuming that you're not coming from
out of state and you're flying in.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Now.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
See, the interesting rub on this story is that they're
talking about forecasted trips to Disneyland, i e. Them looking
at the research coming in from vacation bookings and things
like that that they get from Disneyland Hotel because you
got resilience ticket sales, all that kind of stuff. But
it does not take into account the still overwhelming number
(19:58):
of day of and week tickets that are sold. So
I understand how them forecasting long term saying, hey man,
over the course of this year, our reservations are down,
but still the theme park is packed out every single day,
so their day of numbers are still high, which is
an interesting kind of number to look at.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, the day of As far as people packing the
park is one thing, but those could be people like
me and you who live in southern California who are
not going to stay in the hotel, and the hotel
revenue is still a part of that larger equation of
them making money.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
And my thing is, you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
You can't be concerned about your revenue and not know
that one of the key components of that revenue is
the cost of the product itself. And it's not a
secret to anyone. It's expensive to go to the Disneyland.
Is it a great experience? Absolutely? Is it also an
expensive experience? Absolutely if you're selling fifty dollars blue milk
(20:56):
or whatever it is. There's nothing which is reasonably priced
in a Disneyland park. Even though I love it, I
know it's not something that most families. I'm talking about
family of four or five people like you, twaller when
you've gone with your family, that stuff is not cheap.
And I do believe we've talked about this. There is
(21:16):
a point where that elasticity is there is a breaking point.
There is a point where people will not pay more
than that or just say I can't afford that, And
it's just kind of funny to me for Disney internally
to realize, oh my gosh, there may be a problem
with our pricing. And that was part of the reason
why by Vieger had come back. Yeah, and also why
Disney was continuing to focus on some amusement parks because
(21:39):
things were not where they should be long term, long
term forecast.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
For me, I don't think it's all that deep.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
If I'm not going to reserve a three day stay
at the hotel Disneyland Hotel, that's at least three thousand.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Dollars, and that's just for two people, double occupancy.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
We're not talking about a room for the kids, or
they're gonna have to stay in the room with us
and they're sleeping in one bed, me and the wife
in another bed.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
That's not necessarily an option.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Well, the thing that we have pointed out the last
time we looked at this was that they could by
all accounts, I'm not trying to get into Disney's pockets, gud.
I don't know what they're doing with all their money,
but when we last looked at theme park numbers, they
were well into the blacks. So it's like it was
(22:25):
a mystery as to why they were increasing the prices.
Was it to help shore up some of the losses
maybe that their experienced at the box office.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I can tell you what it is, Mark Roner.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You want to tell Tuala why they raised the prices
because they could thank you, all right, as you're saying,
oh greedy, I mean, you know, I don't think it's that.
I really don't think it's that deep. My bad, because
they could. They knew for a long period of time
they kept raising the prices and to your point, Tuala,
the parks were still packed.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
There was no reason for them to pull back.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And I think they're realizing they're almost at that point
that law of diminishing returns where they're not getting the
type of return on the investment when they raise the
ticket prices. They're not seeing the same type of growth.
They said it was from six percent to one percent.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
So they must be.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Right at that line where if they keep going in
this direction of raising prices, they're going to go from
the black to red's. That's what I think, you know,
because if you could if you can see the diminishing growth, well, okay,
you're starting to move in the other direction. Maybe they're
right at the sweet spot right now. But let's put
this in a larger context of where people feel about
(23:34):
the economy. You know, we've just had a report which
came out today about inflation going back up to three
percent for the last quarter. Well, that's going to impact
people's future vacation plans. I'm sure you know, if you
going back to the classic idea of eggs, if people
are actually worried about eggs, whether we think that's real
or not, if they are really concerned about the price index,
(23:58):
consumer price index, well, Disneyland is not going to be
on the list for vacations. It just won't be you'll
be doing maybe you'll drive to Death Valley or something,
maybe you go to Knotsbury Farm, but it won't be
a vacation for five coming from Iowa to Los Angeles
to go to Disneyland and stay at the Disneyland Hotel,
where two or three years ago maybe they would have
(24:20):
been more open to it.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
And this is actually not the time that Disney Adventure
Parks can afford this with the proposed expansion right that
they're looking.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
They're doing.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
You can expand but not be making money. You can
expand when people are saying I'm not spending my money
on Disneyland like that. People from out of state, those
of us who live there who have the California discount, Yeah,
we're good, we'll go.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And families who plan a vacation, they're planning well in advance,
and they have to look at those prices and take
a good long look at whether they can afford it,
whether it's reasonable, and whether you want to spend let's
be honest, most of your money on just the hotel,
because part of the Disneyland resort is the hotel experience.
(25:08):
You want to be somewhat close. Now, yes, you can
stay across the street at the Vagabond Inn or whatever.
But if you're trying to get that full experience, which
Disneyland is offering and promoting, you want to be at
one of those hotels Pixar Place or Pixar Hotel or uh,
you know, any one of them.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I think I've stayed in two or three of them.
They're really nice.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It's a great experience, and you open your door and
you ride it downtown Jasity. You can't beat it, but
you're gonna pay for that. It's really expensive.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
That was a real hotel. I think it was on Figaroa.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I know.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
He said that I threw me. I was like, well
that's a throwback. Oh yeah, I can look that up.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
The Vagabond Inn was notorious for for uh, the employees
walking around on the street. It's laterd with Mo Kelly
can if I Am six forty we live everywhere in
the iHeart. When we come back, We're gonna bring to
Tiffany Hobbs early because she has a bone to pick
with Twala with his obsession with this way Mo thing.
(26:07):
Tiffany Hobbs has been posting videos and sending us videos
of these wayward way mos.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
And now Tiffany Hobbs is going to have her chance
to set Twalla sharp straight.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
I'm Huggingala.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Oh no, no, no, you gonna learn tonight, Twala, you
gonna learn.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
With Mo Kelly on.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Six live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and we've been
having a conversation off air about the Vagabond In with
various memories. I was talking about Disney and how you
want to stay on campus at the Disneyland resort.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
You don't want to stay across the street.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
And I just threw out the name of a hotel,
the vagabond In, the one I know of, and don't
ask me why, I just know of it on Figaroa,
right next to usc was I wouldn't say world famous,
but more like La Infamous, And I wasn't sure whether
it was still open.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I'm getting conflicting information on the web.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
So when I get a chance, go I to see
if I can call over there with the number which
was last listed and see if I can reserve a room.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
But Tiffany Hobbs, you had some vagabond In information.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
I don't have experience at the experience, but I do
have information. There is a vagabond In that is very
much open. It is right near the Glendale Galleria, that
whole area that's shopping area, and it's on Colorado, And
if you're passing down Colorado, you can actually see the
Glendale Galleria and kind of that shopping center from the
(27:49):
front of the hotel. So that one is advertised as
a perfect place to stay if you want to do
some local shopping.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Or hang out hour by hour? Do they charge by the.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Hour I wouldn't know, Mo. Let's ask MO what I
like is.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So I found one in San Pedro. But as far
as I remember, the one that you're talking about, Mo,
it was next to a McDonald's. This one's also next
to a McDonald's. Oh, I think there's a theme. There's
a theme here.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, you can go.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Get your eat on and then you can go never mind, Okay,
I won't say it, but you know I was thinking it. Yeah,
the vagabond in had a reputation. Put it that way,
where it catered to local talent. That's the only way
I can describe it. And it was it was worse
(28:46):
than motel sex. Sorry vagabond, if you're hearing this, it's
just true. And uh, it just did not have the
reputation of you just don't want to be caught there
because there might be something illegal going on in and
around that particular hotel. I will say was in the hotel,
but just in and around the hotel. But I didn't
bring you on early, Tiffany Hobbs for that. I want
(29:08):
you to, in your words, explain what you had been
sending to both me and Tuala regarding Weimo.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Well, I know Tuala is a Weimo officionado. I still
think he is on the payroll, but he disputes that.
But because Tuala speaks so favorably and highly of Weimo,
I've made it my singular mission in life to find
every post on social media, anything on television, whatever I
can find that aims to take down Weimo. So I
(29:39):
find these things and I will send them to you.
I will tag you guys in them on social media,
making sure that Tuala sees all of the antipical evidence
against his beloved Weimo.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
What did you find? What are some of the videos
that you found?
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Well, today there was a Weimo that went rogue that
seems to be the thing that Weimo.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Is malicious Slanders.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
This particular Waimo did not spin around in circles like
the previous Weimo that held that poor man hostage at
the airport. No, this one decided to fly through an
intersection in the San Francisco area, hitting a pothole and
practically bottoming out the entire chassis as it went through
(30:23):
this intersection because run lights, it just it could not
read the construction that was happening, and it just flew
through this intersection.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Can you imagine if there was a person in there. Toualad.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
It just slow down in construction zones, you know that
right now here in California. I swear none of y'all
on this microphe right now. Better act like people weren't
already running through lights and all that in the rain,
no less today.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
If I were to pay for an uber driver like
Stefan and he or she were to do something as reckless,
we would have a problem just because other people are
driving record Now.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
It doesn't excuse weimo, you know what exactly. It does
excuse the fact that people are worse. And I want
you to know, Tiffany, the legal department in Weymo will
be contacting you, you know at tiff Hobbs on here.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Okay, say them my way, because I have plenty of evidence.
What about the Weimo yesterday on Crenshaw Boulevard and Jefferson
Avenue Boulevard, doesn't matter that was pointed east while sitting
on Jefferson in traffic at a blinking stop light because
the light was out and this Weimo was the lead
car pointed east at this light that you're supposed to
(31:38):
treat like a four way stop.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
But the way MOO was not intelligent enough to read
it as a.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
Four weights, you know, and sat there and had the
nerve the gall to put its hazard lights on and
to turn its little wheels back and forth as if
it were going to make a move, and it did.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Swear, you are talking about.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Anyone's anyone's grandparent who needs to have their license taken away.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Okay, if that's the case, then Weymo needs to have
its life. This is this is a singular case. That
is why it is so malicious in nature to point
these things out against Waimo and ignore all the things
you people do.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
You know what they call a person who murders one
person a murderer singular.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Do not connect murder that.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
We know of a singer.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Care are no bodies buried in Waymo as far as
we know, as far as we know, Do not bring
that grandmother up again.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Was not drugs.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
She was in the street and no one can answer
why she was in the street.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
Was walking around?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's a callback and I want my rim shot, thank you?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Why do you think she was in the street? Back
about it? Good because it's time to go to break
and we come back. Tiffy Hobbs with a viral load
can if I am six forty. See Stefan, that is
how you do a call back exactly. I agree with you.
But you said that, you said yesterday that that didn't
(33:27):
know because you here we go, Yes, I got time. Okay,
he just repeated it.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You brought the you brought it back from as a
subject of the conversation into this part of the conversation.
Put it at the end right there. He just repeated it.
That's the difference. You shift those goalposts like a pro. Okay,
trying to teach you how to do radio. Oh wow, okay,
reset it six forty. We're live everywhere in our heart
