Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and seemingly Instagram
live with Nick Poliochini, who joins me in studio Hello.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
With a huge shark cuterie board.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yes, alcohol, but not what Yes and to Walla Sharp
just came in as well. So as Moja said, you
can join us on Instagram, Nick Polliochini, but it's not alcohol.
Good to be here, I did, but you know it's radio,
and so I'm doing some things a little bit different.
So you're used to seeing me here on Fridays with
(00:40):
what you know, what's going on in and around the
South Line. I still got that for you, but we're
gonna change it up a little bit because I want
to give you a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
We're gonna take things a little deeper than we usually do.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
And so if you're familiar with me here with Cafi
and I not don't hide very many things. We don't
hide things here on Later with mo Kelly. We are
very transparent. So I've been sober since twenty seventeen and
we've talked about a lot of things here on Later,
and so this past weekend and when I was here
giving you things to do for the holiday season and
(01:13):
around the south Land, I checked out Unique World, which
is the new iteration of Unique La in downtown LA,
and I met an incredible couple Jeff and Elizabeth there
who have an epic bottle shop over in mar Vista
which is called dry Kitten. If you're joining us on
Instagram Live, you can see a setup of the secutary
that I brought from Whole Foods across the way, but
(01:34):
also some really fun non alcoholic options for you. So
I want to give you ideas of things you can
do that are spirited without the spirits for the holiday season,
for you to get out there and party, because the
thing that caught my attention when I met them is
that they said, have a great night and an even
better morning, so that you're not going to have the hangover.
(01:55):
And so I'm going to make you a cocktail and
kind of talk you through this as i'm making it.
But I know that your drink of choice, as I
made you a beverage when we got together this weekend,
mo is whiskey. So I have a fantastic thing for
you to try, and it is going to be not
that one, because that is fresh. So that is going
to be more like a gin. I have smoky, which
(02:16):
is going to emulate from optimist botanicals to still non
alcoholic spirit. And so I'm gonna have you smell it
and you can kind of give a description of what
it smells like to those who cannot smell it. Smell
a vision. I mean, I literally just take the lid
off and you can smell it. How smoky it smells. Yeah,
(02:37):
that's a good description. Smells smoky.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It is clear, So I'm not like seeing a caramel coloring.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Correct, But it has every characteristic of it, and I'm
gonna give you a little hit of it. It's very
very smoky distaste. And so you're gonna I mean, it's
it's not liquid smoketes on the stage. You might it
might be a little Tom John's metal. I'm not gonna
lie here, but I'm gonna I'm gonna make you but
I want to.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Make you a cocktail real quick of that.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
And all this is to say there's so much you
can do around southern California anymore that isn't just about alcohol.
You can do so much that is about spirited activities.
That have to do with what are called well, I
mean we all talked and you talked about it already
earlier tonight about having THHC involved in beverages and having
(03:24):
CBD involved. So there's you know, things that are made
with hemp that don't have anything to do with things
that will get you turned quote unquote, So that's something
that you can have. But they also have things that
are called adaptogens that have mushrooms involved, that are things
that are really good for you that have nothing to
do with Yes, that are realms. Right, well, we can
do psilocybin. That's that's a whole other thing. And that
(03:46):
is for between sent and yes it's okay, and that's
for you know, after ten and before six am when
you're doing the radio things. So okay, anyway, let me
make you a cocktail right now. But this is something
that's really different and special. Also, I've got some different
palomas and things for you to try out for you know,
things that were really unique and special for you to try.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
What's pomona poloma.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
This is amazing too because this entire setup that you
have here, all of this is non alcohol right hand.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That back to me, if so I can make you
a cock. So we can really take this to the head.
You can definitely take this to the head. And because
we're on the radio, so I'm gonna take take a
quick on Instagram live Nick Poley, Okay, and take a
hit of that real just a gentle hit so you can.
It's gonna be a real strong and I'm gonna give
you a mixer because it's gonna be real intense strong.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's real strong.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
So now let me give you something to mix it
with and it'll give you a whole different Like that's
real strong, real strong. It's not something you're gonna sit
there now. You can sip on it if you want it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
But does it give you that that flavor, that feeling
that it will And I would want to mix with
something which I'm gonna give.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You ginger ginger beer.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I'm gonna you I'm gonna make you super I'm gonna
give you a little twist of lime here. I know
I'm making a full bok til thing. Now when we
swirl it around and for twala, I'm gonna make you.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Oh no, see that's good.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's good right in those proportions, In those proportions, it's
really good.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
So I wouldn't drink it neat or straight up.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
No, of course not. It's very very strong that way.
And I'm gonna do a margarita for you. So this
is a chili margarita. Now, a lot of people love
the white claw movement. Super nice, super easy. This is
a can beverage from aplos chili margarita, non alcoholic, infused
with adaptagen. So this is gonna be definitely down those
like herbaceous kind of that whole idea. So it's gonna
(05:38):
be that. But this is really nice just by itself.
This is going to give you that nice vibe for.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The spring. I mean, if you like Margarita's period, I mean,
I look, I've I've looked. I was never picky. I
feel you. And what's the third verdict on this one
for Margarita? Surprising?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
It's surprising. It reminds me of it reminds me of
something else. Do you like Margarita's tequila? Okay, let me
get it gives me a different vibe, not necessarily Margarita.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But this is damn good. It's very it's gonna be
that nice, very good. How do you like it? I
like it?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, I wouldn't call it like a whiskey taste. No,
I would like it just for what it was.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
But that's gonna be. It's gonna be a nice thing.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And the thing is for me, I love having something
that's different. But you don't want to perry a You
don't want something. You want something that's gonna be nice
and fun to celebrate it with. Now, don't get me
wrong as opposed to you. I maybe you're may or
may not be California sober. And if you know, you know,
oh this is good. That's good, right, that's good. It's
a really nice thing. I've got all sorts of things
(06:44):
the uh, like an Amaro sprits would be for the uh,
the Cali sprits here that I've got. I've got all
sorts of good things for you to try here. But
all of these are available for you plus and what
twila if you're tuning in on Instagram Live and checking
us out at Nick Polio, Okay, the.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Gentlemen are cheersing you right now.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
But you can also go to your supermarket because a
lot of times they have it, So check out dry
Kit online. You can get all the details in Nick
Pauli o'keanne or this week and Nick on Instagram at
the Lincoln Bio that has all the details for you.
But you can also go to your local neighborhood supermarket
because I went to Whole Foods which is right across
the street from the studio here, and they have Bitterers
(07:23):
and soda which is the Helle brand that is right
in front of Tuala and they have two options available
for you.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So that's where I picked up Shakrudery.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Here a shout out to Mary who was in the
cheese section at Whole Foods who was incredibly helpful.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But yeah, so that's where.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Now is there a combination here that could do like
a whiskey sour or a.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
There is not a studio, but yes, no, but you
you can so go go check out Elizabeth. Go hit
up Elizabeth and Jeff over at dry Kit. You can
find them online. And the other thing too is they
have a gifting catalog. If you're looking for that last
minute corporate gift and you may have somebody in your
life who is sober and you're looking for something that's
fun and festive, that's a great opportunity for you as well.
(08:05):
They have an online store so this is something that
is not just them. So definitely check them out because
I love them and their small business and we love
supporting small businesses. Here on later with Mo Kelly and
on KFI. But also they're not really and I think
that's the thing too, because it was when it first
came out something that may not have been mostly approachable.
Now it is definitely something that is approachable. And so
(08:26):
this is something and the thing that they focus on.
If you're gonna spend the money and it's not octane,
meaning that it is not alcoholic, they want it to
taste good.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They want you to enjoy it. Yesteh, we gotta go break.
I get it. What is the sugar content? What are
we talking about? Because we're talking.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Low calorie, low sugar, We're talking things that are not
gonna affect you. So it already is going to while
it is not high octane anyway, it is already going
to not affect you in other ways. So if you're
looking to watch your waistline, your sugar content, your carb content,
it's already gonna help you out there.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Nick Pouliochinni joins us in studio.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's not this weekend, but this week with Nick as
he tells us what's going on.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we're
also instagram live at Nick Pollochini on Instagram. And Nick
has not only non alcoholic beverages that he's sharing with us,
but a full sharcuterie board. He's probably going to bring
in his vision board. He's going to have all sorts
(09:30):
of so many things. What else you got for us?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Nick?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Okay, So the thing that I want to talk about
not to take us down because we're having an amazing
time and everybody has had such good things. And again,
huge thank you to dry Kit and Elizabeth and Jeff
over at dry Kit in mar Vista and at that
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
So this is delicious, and thank you again. Nick poulio
O'Keane on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
If you want to check out all the fun and
excitement and the link in bio at Nick POLIO'KEANEA in
this week on Nick with Nick. But we're in the
middle of a time here that's really challenging for a
lot of people. And I know that we have KFI
to turn too. You have later with Mom Kelly, you
have all the shows here. But it's a really hard
time for a lot of folks, and so we really
want to try to focus on places for you to
(10:15):
be able to donate your time and get you out
and active because and then I'm going to give you
this because it sounds a little silly, but it's very
important because you have what is called seasonal effective disorder
or SAD. And I know that people laugh, but this
is what has always been that time of the year
(10:36):
when it is four thirty in the afternoon and that
is when the you know, it's such the sun goes down,
so right, so seasonal effective disorder is a type of
depression that occurs during this time of year. So we
want you to have an opportunity to be able to
reach out if you've got issues, if there's something going down,
(10:57):
but also volunteer time.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
So I think that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
So if you need an easy way to reach out
and find ways to you know, find somebody, it's as
easy as a text message. So if you're looking for
a place to reach out to, you can always text
home homy to seven four one, seven four one, which
is a crisis text line, and that's super easy and
keep it real, chill and mellow in private. But if
you're looking for a place to donate your time, more
(11:20):
so to get you out and about and active during
this time of year and donate your time. The ling
Animal Services has opportunities for you to get out and about.
If you tune into wake Up Call here with Amy King,
you regularly hear her talking about Pasadena Human Humane Society.
That's an opportunity for you to get out and volunteer
(11:41):
your time and really donate to yourself.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Also, uh, the Los Angeles Mission, which is a skid row.
They always need help.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And it's funny because you think, well, I don't necessarily
want to go to skid row. I don't want to
go to downtown LA. That is not my shtick. There's
places you can call and this is the thing. I
work with Project angel Food here in Los Angeles and
for a good number of years I literally call shut ins.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
That's what I do.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And I spent about fifteen to twenty minutes of my
time a couple of times a month and just call
and check in on people.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's it. It's super simple.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Did it long before the pandemic, and it was an
opportunity for me to just like check in and see
how people were doing.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And that's a huge.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Part of it. Yeah, but where did you start? How
did you know where to start? That's a great question.
Mo I started googling.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
As silly as that sounds, I mean, I literally went
to the Internet and went to just started asking around.
I also work with both the Gay and Lesbian Center
and Long Beach and here in Los Angeles. That's a
big part of it. Also, many many years ago, worked
with the Catholic Church where I grew up, and worked
with the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, and worked with
(12:49):
the Knights of Columbus with my dad, and so a
lot of different organizations that a lot of listeners here
with KFI are probably very familiar with ask And I
think that's the thing. It's always challengingk for help for yourself.
And that's what I've learned through the years is by
asking to help others, I have oftentimes helped myself, right,
And I think that's the thing that we don't think about,
(13:10):
is we get a lot of our own help by
asking to help others. And I think that's the easiest thing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's what I love about radio, if only because we
always talk about this, the intimacy of radio, and you
get to know more about people through radio than you
would any other medium. Nick, you've been very transparent, Twala,
you've been very transparent.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Mark Ronner not so much. But for the most part,
we try to be very transparent that we are.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Fallible and sometimes frail individuals and sometimes and I understand
why people during this time of year may not really
connect with it, but just know that there's someone who
is going through the same thing as you right now exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
And I think that's the biggest thing we hear at KFI.
Appreciate you tuning in to us each and every day.
We really appreciate you spending your time and energy and
effort listening to us. We know that you've got a
lot of opportunities for riding in your car or whatever,
and we know there are many other places you could turn,
So we really really appreciate you tuning in and spending
(14:15):
that time with us because we know how important time
is and how valuable that time is, and so you
know we're there for you, and you know it's a family,
it's a team.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Nick you are an invaluable voice and source for not
only information but for connection. I mean, you're very busy.
But when are we going to hear from you again?
When are we going to see you again?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Great question.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I will definitely be making myself known here with Later
with Mokelly and keeping you up to date with what's
up with Nick. Hopefully I will be hanging out here
it looks like on Tuesday nights for the foreseeable future.
But yeah, I don't know where I will resurface. You
will know that I am no longer on the airwaves
here with Heart Radio, and that is something that I am.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
You'll have to keep an ear and an eye out
to see where I may resurface in the Southland. But
I am definitely here and I am only a DM
away on social media on Nick polyo'channy and this Weekend
with Nick also have some possibilities of so Cal Underserved.
If some of you have already slid into my dms
and found out that there is a new social media
(15:26):
channel that has a surfaced, some of you are quite
the sluice and it's good to see that you are
keeping an eye out. So so Cal Underserved is a
possible new project that is on the horizon coming up. Also,
you can always email me. You can find my YouTube
channel which is in conversation with Nick Poliochanni and find
a deeper dive into a lot of the different people
(15:46):
behind the story of the stories behind those things that
I've shared with you throughout the last two years and
even before that. Here on Later with mo Kelly for
this week of with Nick Pollochanni And yeah, so I'll
be around you call on me, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Call on me.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I will be there. I thought you were gonna do
it like Michael Jackson. I'll be there. My falsetto is
not there. Brother, I will lean on you for that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Well, the award winning Nick Poliochini, You're always welcome here
and you will always have a home here. It's later
with mo Kelly and Nick Palioken excuse me, and to
Walla Sharp and Stephan and YouTube Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Thanks. Does it really have to include Mark? I mean,
the RNA verse is a thing. The RNA verse is
a thing. First, he's got his own universe.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
He does have his own universe, Like it's pretty wild.
I don't know where we fall in the runa verse,
but we know where rona Verse falls in.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
You'll look at the time. Oh can't. I AM six
forty live everywhere now I heeartradio app.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You're listening to later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Just want to give you a quick update on the
Franklin fire. It has burned twenty eight hundred and sixty
two acres. It still remains at zero percent containment. It
continues to impact Malibu to pang A Canyon and surrounding communities.
It is still being actively monitored and there are more
(17:19):
than fifteen hundred firefighters and thirteen federal, state and local
agencies involved. And also the La County Board of Supervisors
has ratified their local emergency declaration earlier this afternoon. So
we're continuing to monitor the Franklin fire and we'll have
updates later on throughout the night with Mark Ronner and
(17:40):
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. And probably everyone listening
right now uses the text messaging as a form of communication,
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I think just about.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Everyone has received the text has set a text utilized
text message probably in a number of ways, not only
to communicate, but as two factor authentication, so you can
get into your favorite email or app to confirm that
you or you. Texting is pretty important, but not everyone
(18:15):
out there knows the right etiquette. Not everyone knows how
you're supposed to do it. And I came across this article,
interestingly enough, in the Wall Street Journal, and according to
the Wall Street Journal article, it says, the two most
dreaded words in a text conversation are usually at the
(18:36):
very beginning, and it's usually by someone who is trying
to be intentionally I'll stay vague. Have you ever received
a text which just says call me? I have oh
all the time, and it annoys me to know. In no, absolutely,
(18:56):
I get it so regularly it's wild. Yeah, yeah, I
know you want me to call you. But the issue
is why am I calling you? Is it urgent? Is
it urgent for me to call you? Or is it
just you want me to stop what I'm doing and
attend to you.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Now Here are my rules. Here are my expectations. It's
just in case you haven't heard them.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
If you text me, my expectation is, if you need
something from me, you have to be explicit in what
you need.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
It's not enough to say call me.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You have to say call me or please call me
because we need to talk about the agenda for the meeting,
or something happened at the office too long for text,
but we got to talk about it immediately. You can't
be lazy with me because if you just say call
me or you know, hit me back, as a lot
of my friends will say, or something else, which is
(19:53):
very very nonspecific, I'm not going to respond. I have
a friend who just says MO, that's all he says,
like I was supposed to say what or yeah, I'm
here almost asking are you available? Well, no, I'm never
available until i'm available. And it's incumbent upon you to
(20:13):
tell me exactly what you need. Like, for example, Nick
paulo'chini still in the studio, if he were to say, hey, MO,
call me back, and I'm thinking like, well, Nick, if
I call you back and you need something from me,
if you tell me now, I can have it when
we actually get on the phone, because if you don't
tell me, it could have been like.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Hey, Mo, you know what was that.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Thing that you were talking about that was on Amazon
that you had in the studio.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
You said you're gonna send me the Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well, if you would have told me that when you
put that into text, I could have just sent you
that and been.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Done with it right exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I think that, And it's funny because that's the
context in this immediate information world that is so helpful
and being able to get that immediacy, I don't understand.
It's like especially and just to kind of related to
not we get we're in this world where you send
(21:05):
a secon text message before you make a phone call. Now,
absolutely don't call me. I don't know exactly. And that's
the same concept here. If I'm going to call, I'm
going to send you a texts. I'm going to call
you about this so that you are prepared with the
answers I need so that we can get through what
we need to get through, right.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Because when you text someone, the upside to a text
is it can politely interrupt anyone at any time. People
have been texting me throughout this show, and I can
respond to my wife, I can respond to another family
member or a co worker, and I can give them information.
(21:44):
I can answer their question and still keep my world moving.
But the moment I have to stop to call you,
that means I have to drop what I'm doing or
wait till a more opportune time, and it's not going
to be a more opportune time because you didn't respect
by time to tell me what the hell it was about.
So I'm not gonna call you at all. Right, if
(22:05):
it's important, you would have let me know.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Exactly, which is so funny the thing, because how we're
both from the generation where we didn't have the immediacy.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
No, I mean we came from the page degeneration, the.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Pager generation before that answer machine generation exactly. You may
not even get the message until hours later, exactly, And
so we had no problem. But now it's like, I
need to know exactly what is going to be needed
of me because I have so many other obligations.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I have so many other things that are going on.
So no, I'm not there with here.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I try to be respectful of other people's time, and
I can be kind of Kurt and there's a lot
of shorthand. But I may text Nick Poliochini, for example,
in the morning, and I have to remind myself it's morning,
say good morning, acknowledge the shout beginning a conversation other
than hey, Nick, what.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Time are you going to be at the studio? To night,
which no, you're right, because I and I like you,
am the same. And half the time I will do
it out of order. I will do exactly what you
just described it, and then at the end I'll say.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Oh, good morning.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
We've done that to each other many times where it's
the same thing because I'm like, okay, I'm going to
get my nine bullet points down. Oh now I need
to say wait, hold on, oh yeah, by the way,
good morning, how's it going, and what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Part of this is there is an etiquette to this,
and there is a way that you can more efficiently
communicate with someone and get what you want. If you're
texting someone and you're making a request of someone, going
back to the story where it says you get the
text and says call me a word to the wise,
let the person know at least subject matter, parameter topic
(23:36):
for discussion that you need them to call you for,
because it might be an emergency, or it might be
a total waste of time because you want to talk
about a movie that you saw last night. I'm sorry,
I'm right in the middle of the show. It's not
going to be something that's on my to do list.
But if you let me know that, and that's okay.
I'll hit you when I get the car. But if
you just say call me, I'm not calling you just
because Rose, you didn't respect my Tommy, you didn't think
(23:59):
enough to at least give me the information, because there's
nothing worse than it's happened before. Someone will say call me,
and I call them, and then they're asking for something
that I got to get off the phone and go
find or go do so either text them later or
call them back later, when I could have just given
them that information and not talked on the phone, because
I would much rather not talk on the phone. There
(24:20):
are some conversations that you actually have to have a
phone conversation, but those are few and far between.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Right, No, you're absolutely correct on that because and that's
it's usually something very important or very timely or something
that has you know, it's kind of like, hey, Stephan,
can you pull the audio on this thing? Then that's did,
like I need to get this done because I need
it for this show that's coming up, or I need
to send it to you know whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
That's right. I just got my STD results back from
the doctor. We need to talk. Wow, Mo, what's you
doing later.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I was like, at least it well, you know, there
was that time this weekend, but right, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That probably require there is a phone come indeed, because
you don't want to say, call me back, I got
the test results.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
It is no, you're right, yeah, no, because they and
that's definitely something you do not want to find out BIAF.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Just you just want to call that person directly. Yeah
you got Are you sitting down, yes, so you're free.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Can you talk for a minute? Yes? About it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
There are these new rules which are kind of being written,
and they're unwritten every single day.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I'll give you another one talking about phones.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
When you call someone, Let's say you're in the car
and there's someone else in the car with you and
you obviously that person is on speakerphone that you're talking to.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think it is a must.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
There's a requirement to let that person know you're on speakerphone.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Oh yeah, no, that's no, that's a big thing. And
I don't care, especially what you just subscribed there. I
have my nieces with me a lot, and so it's
always even just to that specific notion of I've got
my nieces in the background, or you're on speakerphone or
whatever situation is. It does not matter, just purely out
of respect.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Not only that when you say you got your nieces
in the car, that added information is also important because
just because you tell me we're on speakerphone, it doesn't
mean that I'm going to drop fewer f bombs. You're right,
you know, because I'm thinking, well, I'm not that uncle, right, right,
my sister, Yeah, no, right. I remember there was one
(26:25):
time and I was going to play a joke on
Shannon Farrin and she speaking of all me when I
was doing my Saturday show one night, and I said, well,
let me just go ahead and put her on speaker
and on the air and see what happens. She dropped
bombs three words in, and I said, that'll teach me.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
You know, you might have let up, pa. Yes, you
gotta let people know.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's it's unfair to the caller, and it might be
also unfair to the person who's in the car with you.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
They may hear something that they didn't want to hear. No,
that's true, but.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
There are some rules here, and I would expect people
if you're actually going to have a positive communication relationship
with family members or colleagues. These are things you just
gotta know. You gotta know. And I have family members
to this day who will violate all these rules and
they'll just say, MO, that's the text expecting me to engage.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah, no, I refuse. I don't care if somebody's dying.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I am not responding to that until you tell me, MO,
somebody's dying.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Oh okay, that means nine to one one. Now I
gotta respond. Don't take de bait. No, oh, no, I refuse.
Did you get my text?
Speaker 5 (27:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I didn't see it. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
If you want to play dumb, I will play dumb
because there's no reason for me to play smart with that.
Mark does it to me all the time. I don't
want to call him out, but it was time.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Your gratitude is so anemic right now. I don't think
you people understand the gift I give to you of nothingness.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now you do text, but you will be very specific
and completely If you're gonna text me, especially it's like
late at night and you're watching something or I'm watching something,
it's very clear.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
It's not just like, hey you up? Can we you
know you up?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
At three am? What kind of text missuses are your
two sending. I know the hours we keep, but I'm
just saying, look, I get those texts.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And they are innocent enough.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
It's just that people don't think these things through and
they expect a response.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
You will not get a response.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I've done it to my mother, true story, and she's
one of the ones who'll say, call me no, I
refuse Mommy.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Six forty before we get out of here. I enjoy
listening to Mark Ronnerd. I tease him all the time,
but he usually has some great recommendations, and I will
take up his recommendations, and sometimes he will take me
up on mine. And we don't necessarily like the exact
same things he likes to show. Kung Fu I think
(29:01):
is garbage. I forgive you for your ignorance. It's okay.
It's what Kawi Chan Kane would do too. Yes you would,
but you know he's not real and neither is your
never mind. My point is sometimes you come up with
some really good stuff. And I heard that you started
watching Cross on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Oh I did. I did, and it was much better
than I figured. Because we've seen Alex Cross in several iterations,
and you can like any of them to whatever degree
that you do.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
This might be my favorite one.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
If I can say anything that's really positive about this
streaming moment is there are a lot of good, good
TV shows out there, more so than I think than
ever before that I'm willing to spend time with. I've
binged Cross, I think in maybe two days or so.
It's just one season so far, but it's a it's
a season long story arc, and it's it's more horror story,
(29:58):
I would say, than detect procedural. It's I don't want
to give too much away for those who haven't seen him,
but it's more reminiscent to me of Seven or Silence
of the Lambs than a traditional detective TV show, and
that really drew me in. There are real stakes. Every
(30:22):
character is in danger, I would say, every single one.
And I like those shows because not only is everyone expendable,
you know that each episode matters. And I can say this,
you haven't gotten as far yet Mark. Every episode matters
and there's no filler or waste I will.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
I'm obsessed with that French showed the Bureau, which the
agency is completely a remake of Right Now. But Alex
the Cross Show, I find it extra interesting. I like
the Morgan Freeman Cross but this younger version of him
is entertaining to me because they really get into some
uncomfortable kind conversations that are not sanitized, No or your protection.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Not at all. Its topical.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
It's timely, and they're talking about issues which are relevant today.
It's not just some detective in some city at some
time in history. No, it's very much set in today. Yeah,
they have some nerve the territory they get into. I
do appreciate the detective horror story thing, but we've had
(31:26):
that since Manhunter came out in nineteen eighty six. That
to me, isn't quite as new anymore. But I always
like that kind of stuff that's cracked to me, just
like a spy show would be. But this, to me,
is in the writing and just the they get right
up in each other's face and say things that you
don't figure you would hear a mainstream television character say,
and they don't. You know, they don't avoid any racial
(31:48):
topics at all. It's all just put right out there.
There are so many shows that I'm watching on streaming
more than ever before. I've almost given up completely on
broadcast television because broadcast television will never measure up, not
in terms of the violence, the language, the subject matter.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
It's just not enough anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I still have one or two procedurals that I watch,
like a Law and Order SVU and Chicago PD. But
outside of that, there's nothing on broadcast TV which is
going to appeal to me. I mean, I'm watching Linus,
I'm watching Lawman, I just finish up Cross, I'm watching
Day of the Jackal. There's so many things that I
can watch on a given night which have all the gore,
(32:28):
the violence, the adult themes, even the nudity. At times,
broadcast TV just can't keep up.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Well, it's always been pablum. I mean it's been enjoyable
pablum sometimes. But that's why when something comes along like Evil,
which was on CBS, you got to support that, because
something that good and that edgy is a rare, rare thing.
And Evil was also smart and funny in addition to
being kind of unsettling.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
But they also moved it to streaming. I think in
their last season they.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Did, and boy did they go to town or they
did they went to town in terms of language and
sitch situations and stuff that you just couldn't show on
network TV, Like, okay, if they're gonna put us at
the other table over here, let's just let's cut loose.
Have you guys checked out James Gunns Creature Commandos yet?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yes? I have not.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Oh you got to? Okay, you got to. It sounds
like you liked it more than I did. I loved it.
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I did. I loved it.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
I loved the because you know, I'm familiar with the characters,
and I love how they're building this. They're not trying
to rush into the story. They're not shy about anything
that the Creature Commandos are doing. Even though it's an
animated series, it is a very adult animated series. Take
your kids outside. There is bucket nakedness in Creature Commando.
(33:43):
What's cartoon nakedness? Set it up for people, though, Tuala.
Creature Commandos is essentially a version of the Suicide Squad
that is made up of monsters Frankenstein, Frankenstein's bride, along
with some other characters that you have seen in the
Suicide Squad, like Weasel makes return. It stars Frank Grillo,
(34:06):
who's a fantastic as I Love Frank Grillo and The
Beauty of Creature Commandos, which is James Gunn and Peter
soft Froun's first release from their iteration.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Of the DC Universe.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Every character in this series will appear in live action
form in the future movies and television series as well.
David Harbor plays Frankenstein. It is great. It is great
because I love what's happening so far. When to me,
when I walked out, I said to myself, this had
(34:40):
better be good, dumb, stupid fun with foul language, violence,
nudity all that. I said, Oh, thank you got it.
First episodes. I do want to see a live version
of Doctor Phosphorus.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Is it Max? It's on Max. Yeah, it's on Max. See,
there's so much good stuff out there.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All right, tomorrow we'll have that nice exercise lady join us,
Claudine Cooper, We'll have the viral load, and we'll hopefully
have you. Kf I am six forty. We are alive
everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
App untangling the mess until it makes sense.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
K f I M k ost HG two Los Angeles,
Orange County Loves Everywhere on the radio AP
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and seemingly Instagram
live with Nick Poliochini, who joins me in studio Hello.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
With a huge shark cuterie board.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yes, alcohol, but not what Yes and to Walla Sharp
just came in as well. So as Moja said, you
can join us on Instagram, Nick Polliochini, but it's not alcohol.
Good to be here, I did, but you know it's radio,
and so I'm doing some things a little bit different.
So you're used to seeing me here on Fridays with
(00:40):
what you know, what's going on in and around the
South Line. I still got that for you, but we're
gonna change it up a little bit because I want
to give you a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
We're gonna take things a little deeper than we usually do.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
And so if you're familiar with me here with Cafi
and I not don't hide very many things. We don't
hide things here on Later with mo Kelly. We are
very transparent. So I've been sober since twenty seventeen and
we've talked about a lot of things here on Later,
and so this past weekend and when I was here
giving you things to do for the holiday season and
(01:13):
around the south Land, I checked out Unique World, which
is the new iteration of Unique La in downtown LA,
and I met an incredible couple Jeff and Elizabeth there
who have an epic bottle shop over in mar Vista
which is called dry Kitten. If you're joining us on
Instagram Live, you can see a setup of the secutary
that I brought from Whole Foods across the way, but
(01:34):
also some really fun non alcoholic options for you. So
I want to give you ideas of things you can
do that are spirited without the spirits for the holiday season,
for you to get out there and party, because the
thing that caught my attention when I met them is
that they said, have a great night and an even
better morning, so that you're not going to have the hangover.
(01:55):
And so I'm going to make you a cocktail and
kind of talk you through this as i'm making it.
But I know that your drink of choice, as I
made you a beverage when we got together this weekend,
mo is whiskey. So I have a fantastic thing for
you to try, and it is going to be not
that one, because that is fresh. So that is going
to be more like a gin. I have smoky, which
(02:16):
is going to emulate from optimist botanicals to still non
alcoholic spirit. And so I'm gonna have you smell it
and you can kind of give a description of what
it smells like to those who cannot smell it. Smell
a vision. I mean, I literally just take the lid
off and you can smell it. How smoky it smells. Yeah,
(02:37):
that's a good description. Smells smoky.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It is clear, So I'm not like seeing a caramel coloring.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Correct, But it has every characteristic of it, and I'm
gonna give you a little hit of it. It's very
very smoky distaste. And so you're gonna I mean, it's
it's not liquid smoketes on the stage. You might it
might be a little Tom John's metal. I'm not gonna
lie here, but I'm gonna I'm gonna make you but
I want to.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Make you a cocktail real quick of that.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
And all this is to say there's so much you
can do around southern California anymore that isn't just about alcohol.
You can do so much that is about spirited activities.
That have to do with what are called well, I
mean we all talked and you talked about it already
earlier tonight about having THHC involved in beverages and having
(03:24):
CBD involved. So there's you know, things that are made
with hemp that don't have anything to do with things
that will get you turned quote unquote, So that's something
that you can have. But they also have things that
are called adaptogens that have mushrooms involved, that are things
that are really good for you that have nothing to
do with Yes, that are realms. Right, well, we can
do psilocybin. That's that's a whole other thing. And that
(03:46):
is for between sent and yes it's okay, and that's
for you know, after ten and before six am when
you're doing the radio things. So okay, anyway, let me
make you a cocktail right now. But this is something
that's really different and special. Also, I've got some different
palomas and things for you to try out for you know,
things that were really unique and special for you to try.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
What's pomona poloma.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
This is amazing too because this entire setup that you
have here, all of this is non alcohol right hand.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That back to me, if so I can make you
a cock. So we can really take this to the head.
You can definitely take this to the head. And because
we're on the radio, so I'm gonna take take a
quick on Instagram live Nick Poley, Okay, and take a
hit of that real just a gentle hit so you can.
It's gonna be a real strong and I'm gonna give
you a mixer because it's gonna be real intense strong.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's real strong.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
So now let me give you something to mix it
with and it'll give you a whole different Like that's
real strong, real strong. It's not something you're gonna sit
there now. You can sip on it if you want it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
But does it give you that that flavor, that feeling
that it will And I would want to mix with
something which I'm gonna give.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You ginger ginger beer.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I'm gonna you I'm gonna make you super I'm gonna
give you a little twist of lime here. I know
I'm making a full bok til thing. Now when we
swirl it around and for twala, I'm gonna make you.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Oh no, see that's good.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's good right in those proportions, In those proportions, it's
really good.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
So I wouldn't drink it neat or straight up.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
No, of course not. It's very very strong that way.
And I'm gonna do a margarita for you. So this
is a chili margarita. Now, a lot of people love
the white claw movement. Super nice, super easy. This is
a can beverage from aplos chili margarita, non alcoholic, infused
with adaptagen. So this is gonna be definitely down those
like herbaceous kind of that whole idea. So it's gonna
(05:38):
be that. But this is really nice just by itself.
This is going to give you that nice vibe for.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The spring. I mean, if you like Margarita's period, I mean,
I look, I've I've looked. I was never picky. I
feel you. And what's the third verdict on this one
for Margarita? Surprising?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
It's surprising. It reminds me of it reminds me of
something else. Do you like Margarita's tequila? Okay, let me
get it gives me a different vibe, not necessarily Margarita.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But this is damn good. It's very it's gonna be
that nice, very good. How do you like it? I
like it?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, I wouldn't call it like a whiskey taste. No,
I would like it just for what it was.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
But that's gonna be. It's gonna be a nice thing.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And the thing is for me, I love having something
that's different. But you don't want to perry a You
don't want something. You want something that's gonna be nice
and fun to celebrate it with. Now, don't get me
wrong as opposed to you. I maybe you're may or
may not be California sober. And if you know, you know,
oh this is good. That's good, right, that's good. It's
a really nice thing. I've got all sorts of things
(06:44):
the uh, like an Amaro sprits would be for the uh,
the Cali sprits here that I've got. I've got all
sorts of good things for you to try here. But
all of these are available for you plus and what
twila if you're tuning in on Instagram Live and checking
us out at Nick Polio, Okay, the.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Gentlemen are cheersing you right now.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
But you can also go to your supermarket because a
lot of times they have it, So check out dry
Kit online. You can get all the details in Nick
Pauli o'keanne or this week and Nick on Instagram at
the Lincoln Bio that has all the details for you.
But you can also go to your local neighborhood supermarket
because I went to Whole Foods which is right across
the street from the studio here, and they have Bitterers
(07:23):
and soda which is the Helle brand that is right
in front of Tuala and they have two options available
for you.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So that's where I picked up Shakrudery.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Here a shout out to Mary who was in the
cheese section at Whole Foods who was incredibly helpful.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But yeah, so that's where.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Now is there a combination here that could do like
a whiskey sour or a.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
There is not a studio, but yes, no, but you
you can so go go check out Elizabeth. Go hit
up Elizabeth and Jeff over at dry Kit. You can
find them online. And the other thing too is they
have a gifting catalog. If you're looking for that last
minute corporate gift and you may have somebody in your
life who is sober and you're looking for something that's
fun and festive, that's a great opportunity for you as well.
(08:05):
They have an online store so this is something that
is not just them. So definitely check them out because
I love them and their small business and we love
supporting small businesses. Here on later with Mo Kelly and
on KFI. But also they're not really and I think
that's the thing too, because it was when it first
came out something that may not have been mostly approachable.
Now it is definitely something that is approachable. And so
(08:26):
this is something and the thing that they focus on.
If you're gonna spend the money and it's not octane,
meaning that it is not alcoholic, they want it to
taste good.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They want you to enjoy it. Yesteh, we gotta go break.
I get it. What is the sugar content? What are
we talking about? Because we're talking.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Low calorie, low sugar, We're talking things that are not
gonna affect you. So it already is going to while
it is not high octane anyway, it is already going
to not affect you in other ways. So if you're
looking to watch your waistline, your sugar content, your carb content,
it's already gonna help you out there.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Nick Pouliochinni joins us in studio.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's not this weekend, but this week with Nick as
he tells us what's going on.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we're
also instagram live at Nick Pollochini on Instagram. And Nick
has not only non alcoholic beverages that he's sharing with us,
but a full sharcuterie board. He's probably going to bring
in his vision board. He's going to have all sorts
(09:30):
of so many things. What else you got for us?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Nick?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Okay, So the thing that I want to talk about
not to take us down because we're having an amazing
time and everybody has had such good things. And again,
huge thank you to dry Kit and Elizabeth and Jeff
over at dry Kit in mar Vista and at that
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
So this is delicious, and thank you again. Nick poulio
O'Keane on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
If you want to check out all the fun and
excitement and the link in bio at Nick POLIO'KEANEA in
this week on Nick with Nick. But we're in the
middle of a time here that's really challenging for a
lot of people. And I know that we have KFI
to turn too. You have later with Mom Kelly, you
have all the shows here. But it's a really hard
time for a lot of folks, and so we really
want to try to focus on places for you to
(10:15):
be able to donate your time and get you out
and active because and then I'm going to give you
this because it sounds a little silly, but it's very
important because you have what is called seasonal effective disorder
or SAD. And I know that people laugh, but this
is what has always been that time of the year
(10:36):
when it is four thirty in the afternoon and that
is when the you know, it's such the sun goes down,
so right, so seasonal effective disorder is a type of
depression that occurs during this time of year. So we
want you to have an opportunity to be able to
reach out if you've got issues, if there's something going down,
(10:57):
but also volunteer time.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
So I think that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
So if you need an easy way to reach out
and find ways to you know, find somebody, it's as
easy as a text message. So if you're looking for
a place to reach out to, you can always text
home homy to seven four one, seven four one, which
is a crisis text line, and that's super easy and
keep it real, chill and mellow in private. But if
you're looking for a place to donate your time, more
(11:20):
so to get you out and about and active during
this time of year and donate your time. The ling
Animal Services has opportunities for you to get out and about.
If you tune into wake Up Call here with Amy King,
you regularly hear her talking about Pasadena Human Humane Society.
That's an opportunity for you to get out and volunteer
(11:41):
your time and really donate to yourself.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Also, uh, the Los Angeles Mission, which is a skid row.
They always need help.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And it's funny because you think, well, I don't necessarily
want to go to skid row. I don't want to
go to downtown LA. That is not my shtick. There's
places you can call and this is the thing. I
work with Project angel Food here in Los Angeles and
for a good number of years I literally call shut ins.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
That's what I do.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And I spent about fifteen to twenty minutes of my
time a couple of times a month and just call
and check in on people.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's it. It's super simple.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Did it long before the pandemic, and it was an
opportunity for me to just like check in and see
how people were doing.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And that's a huge.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Part of it. Yeah, but where did you start? How
did you know where to start? That's a great question.
Mo I started googling.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
As silly as that sounds, I mean, I literally went
to the Internet and went to just started asking around.
I also work with both the Gay and Lesbian Center
and Long Beach and here in Los Angeles. That's a
big part of it. Also, many many years ago, worked
with the Catholic Church where I grew up, and worked
with the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, and worked with
(12:49):
the Knights of Columbus with my dad, and so a
lot of different organizations that a lot of listeners here
with KFI are probably very familiar with ask And I
think that's the thing. It's always challengingk for help for yourself.
And that's what I've learned through the years is by
asking to help others, I have oftentimes helped myself, right,
And I think that's the thing that we don't think about,
(13:10):
is we get a lot of our own help by
asking to help others. And I think that's the easiest thing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's what I love about radio, if only because we
always talk about this, the intimacy of radio, and you
get to know more about people through radio than you
would any other medium. Nick, you've been very transparent, Twala,
you've been very transparent.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Mark Ronner not so much. But for the most part,
we try to be very transparent that we are.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Fallible and sometimes frail individuals and sometimes and I understand
why people during this time of year may not really
connect with it, but just know that there's someone who
is going through the same thing as you right now exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
And I think that's the biggest thing we hear at KFI.
Appreciate you tuning in to us each and every day.
We really appreciate you spending your time and energy and
effort listening to us. We know that you've got a
lot of opportunities for riding in your car or whatever,
and we know there are many other places you could turn,
So we really really appreciate you tuning in and spending
(14:15):
that time with us because we know how important time
is and how valuable that time is, and so you
know we're there for you, and you know it's a family,
it's a team.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Nick you are an invaluable voice and source for not
only information but for connection. I mean, you're very busy.
But when are we going to hear from you again?
When are we going to see you again?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Great question.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I will definitely be making myself known here with Later
with Mokelly and keeping you up to date with what's
up with Nick. Hopefully I will be hanging out here
it looks like on Tuesday nights for the foreseeable future.
But yeah, I don't know where I will resurface. You
will know that I am no longer on the airwaves
here with Heart Radio, and that is something that I am.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
You'll have to keep an ear and an eye out
to see where I may resurface in the Southland. But
I am definitely here and I am only a DM
away on social media on Nick polyo'channy and this Weekend
with Nick also have some possibilities of so Cal Underserved.
If some of you have already slid into my dms
and found out that there is a new social media
(15:26):
channel that has a surfaced, some of you are quite
the sluice and it's good to see that you are
keeping an eye out. So so Cal Underserved is a
possible new project that is on the horizon coming up. Also,
you can always email me. You can find my YouTube
channel which is in conversation with Nick Poliochanni and find
a deeper dive into a lot of the different people
(15:46):
behind the story of the stories behind those things that
I've shared with you throughout the last two years and
even before that. Here on Later with mo Kelly for
this week of with Nick Pollochanni And yeah, so I'll
be around you call on me, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Call on me.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I will be there. I thought you were gonna do
it like Michael Jackson. I'll be there. My falsetto is
not there. Brother, I will lean on you for that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Well, the award winning Nick Poliochini, You're always welcome here
and you will always have a home here. It's later
with mo Kelly and Nick Palioken excuse me, and to
Walla Sharp and Stephan and YouTube Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Thanks. Does it really have to include Mark? I mean,
the RNA verse is a thing. The RNA verse is
a thing. First, he's got his own universe.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
He does have his own universe, Like it's pretty wild.
I don't know where we fall in the runa verse,
but we know where rona Verse falls in.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
You'll look at the time. Oh can't. I AM six
forty live everywhere now I heeartradio app.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You're listening to later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Just want to give you a quick update on the
Franklin fire. It has burned twenty eight hundred and sixty
two acres. It still remains at zero percent containment. It
continues to impact Malibu to pang A Canyon and surrounding communities.
It is still being actively monitored and there are more
(17:19):
than fifteen hundred firefighters and thirteen federal, state and local
agencies involved. And also the La County Board of Supervisors
has ratified their local emergency declaration earlier this afternoon. So
we're continuing to monitor the Franklin fire and we'll have
updates later on throughout the night with Mark Ronner and
(17:40):
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. And probably everyone listening
right now uses the text messaging as a form of communication,
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I think just about.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Everyone has received the text has set a text utilized
text message probably in a number of ways, not only
to communicate, but as two factor authentication, so you can
get into your favorite email or app to confirm that
you or you. Texting is pretty important, but not everyone
(18:15):
out there knows the right etiquette. Not everyone knows how
you're supposed to do it. And I came across this article,
interestingly enough, in the Wall Street Journal, and according to
the Wall Street Journal article, it says, the two most
dreaded words in a text conversation are usually at the
(18:36):
very beginning, and it's usually by someone who is trying
to be intentionally I'll stay vague. Have you ever received
a text which just says call me? I have oh
all the time, and it annoys me to know. In no, absolutely,
(18:56):
I get it so regularly it's wild. Yeah, yeah, I
know you want me to call you. But the issue
is why am I calling you? Is it urgent? Is
it urgent for me to call you? Or is it
just you want me to stop what I'm doing and
attend to you.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Now Here are my rules. Here are my expectations. It's
just in case you haven't heard them.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
If you text me, my expectation is, if you need
something from me, you have to be explicit in what
you need.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
It's not enough to say call me.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You have to say call me or please call me
because we need to talk about the agenda for the meeting,
or something happened at the office too long for text,
but we got to talk about it immediately. You can't
be lazy with me because if you just say call
me or you know, hit me back, as a lot
of my friends will say, or something else, which is
(19:53):
very very nonspecific, I'm not going to respond. I have
a friend who just says MO, that's all he says,
like I was supposed to say what or yeah, I'm
here almost asking are you available? Well, no, I'm never
available until i'm available. And it's incumbent upon you to
(20:13):
tell me exactly what you need. Like, for example, Nick
paulo'chini still in the studio, if he were to say, hey, MO,
call me back, and I'm thinking like, well, Nick, if
I call you back and you need something from me,
if you tell me now, I can have it when
we actually get on the phone, because if you don't
tell me, it could have been like.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Hey, Mo, you know what was that.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Thing that you were talking about that was on Amazon
that you had in the studio.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
You said you're gonna send me the Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well, if you would have told me that when you
put that into text, I could have just sent you
that and been.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Done with it right exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I think that, And it's funny because that's the
context in this immediate information world that is so helpful
and being able to get that immediacy, I don't understand.
It's like especially and just to kind of related to
not we get we're in this world where you send
(21:05):
a secon text message before you make a phone call. Now,
absolutely don't call me. I don't know exactly. And that's
the same concept here. If I'm going to call, I'm
going to send you a texts. I'm going to call
you about this so that you are prepared with the
answers I need so that we can get through what
we need to get through, right.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Because when you text someone, the upside to a text
is it can politely interrupt anyone at any time. People
have been texting me throughout this show, and I can
respond to my wife, I can respond to another family
member or a co worker, and I can give them information.
(21:44):
I can answer their question and still keep my world moving.
But the moment I have to stop to call you,
that means I have to drop what I'm doing or
wait till a more opportune time, and it's not going
to be a more opportune time because you didn't respect
by time to tell me what the hell it was about.
So I'm not gonna call you at all. Right, if
(22:05):
it's important, you would have let me know.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Exactly, which is so funny the thing, because how we're
both from the generation where we didn't have the immediacy.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
No, I mean we came from the page degeneration, the.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Pager generation before that answer machine generation exactly. You may
not even get the message until hours later, exactly, And
so we had no problem. But now it's like, I
need to know exactly what is going to be needed
of me because I have so many other obligations.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I have so many other things that are going on.
So no, I'm not there with here.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I try to be respectful of other people's time, and
I can be kind of Kurt and there's a lot
of shorthand. But I may text Nick Poliochini, for example,
in the morning, and I have to remind myself it's morning,
say good morning, acknowledge the shout beginning a conversation other
than hey, Nick, what.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Time are you going to be at the studio? To night,
which no, you're right, because I and I like you,
am the same. And half the time I will do
it out of order. I will do exactly what you
just described it, and then at the end I'll say.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Oh, good morning.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
We've done that to each other many times where it's
the same thing because I'm like, okay, I'm going to
get my nine bullet points down. Oh now I need
to say wait, hold on, oh yeah, by the way,
good morning, how's it going, and what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Part of this is there is an etiquette to this,
and there is a way that you can more efficiently
communicate with someone and get what you want. If you're
texting someone and you're making a request of someone, going
back to the story where it says you get the
text and says call me a word to the wise,
let the person know at least subject matter, parameter topic
(23:36):
for discussion that you need them to call you for,
because it might be an emergency, or it might be
a total waste of time because you want to talk
about a movie that you saw last night. I'm sorry,
I'm right in the middle of the show. It's not
going to be something that's on my to do list.
But if you let me know that, and that's okay.
I'll hit you when I get the car. But if
you just say call me, I'm not calling you just
because Rose, you didn't respect my Tommy, you didn't think
(23:59):
enough to at least give me the information, because there's
nothing worse than it's happened before. Someone will say call me,
and I call them, and then they're asking for something
that I got to get off the phone and go
find or go do so either text them later or
call them back later, when I could have just given
them that information and not talked on the phone, because
I would much rather not talk on the phone. There
(24:20):
are some conversations that you actually have to have a
phone conversation, but those are few and far between.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Right, No, you're absolutely correct on that because and that's
it's usually something very important or very timely or something
that has you know, it's kind of like, hey, Stephan,
can you pull the audio on this thing? Then that's did,
like I need to get this done because I need
it for this show that's coming up, or I need
to send it to you know whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
That's right. I just got my STD results back from
the doctor. We need to talk. Wow, Mo, what's you
doing later.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I was like, at least it well, you know, there
was that time this weekend, but right, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That probably require there is a phone come indeed, because
you don't want to say, call me back, I got
the test results.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
It is no, you're right, yeah, no, because they and
that's definitely something you do not want to find out BIAF.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Just you just want to call that person directly. Yeah
you got Are you sitting down, yes, so you're free.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Can you talk for a minute? Yes? About it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
There are these new rules which are kind of being written,
and they're unwritten every single day.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I'll give you another one talking about phones.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
When you call someone, Let's say you're in the car
and there's someone else in the car with you and
you obviously that person is on speakerphone that you're talking to.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think it is a must.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
There's a requirement to let that person know you're on speakerphone.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Oh yeah, no, that's no, that's a big thing. And
I don't care, especially what you just subscribed there. I
have my nieces with me a lot, and so it's
always even just to that specific notion of I've got
my nieces in the background, or you're on speakerphone or
whatever situation is. It does not matter, just purely out
of respect.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Not only that when you say you got your nieces
in the car, that added information is also important because
just because you tell me we're on speakerphone, it doesn't
mean that I'm going to drop fewer f bombs. You're right,
you know, because I'm thinking, well, I'm not that uncle, right, right,
my sister, Yeah, no, right. I remember there was one
(26:25):
time and I was going to play a joke on
Shannon Farrin and she speaking of all me when I
was doing my Saturday show one night, and I said, well,
let me just go ahead and put her on speaker
and on the air and see what happens. She dropped
bombs three words in, and I said, that'll teach me.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
You know, you might have let up, pa. Yes, you
gotta let people know.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's it's unfair to the caller, and it might be
also unfair to the person who's in the car with you.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
They may hear something that they didn't want to hear. No,
that's true, but.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
There are some rules here, and I would expect people
if you're actually going to have a positive communication relationship
with family members or colleagues. These are things you just
gotta know. You gotta know. And I have family members
to this day who will violate all these rules and
they'll just say, MO, that's the text expecting me to engage.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah, no, I refuse. I don't care if somebody's dying.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I am not responding to that until you tell me, MO,
somebody's dying.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Oh okay, that means nine to one one. Now I
gotta respond. Don't take de bait. No, oh, no, I refuse.
Did you get my text?
Speaker 5 (27:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I didn't see it. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
If you want to play dumb, I will play dumb
because there's no reason for me to play smart with that.
Mark does it to me all the time. I don't
want to call him out, but it was time.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Your gratitude is so anemic right now. I don't think
you people understand the gift I give to you of nothingness.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now you do text, but you will be very specific
and completely If you're gonna text me, especially it's like
late at night and you're watching something or I'm watching something,
it's very clear.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
It's not just like, hey you up? Can we you
know you up?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
At three am? What kind of text missuses are your
two sending. I know the hours we keep, but I'm
just saying, look, I get those texts.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And they are innocent enough.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
It's just that people don't think these things through and
they expect a response.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
You will not get a response.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I've done it to my mother, true story, and she's
one of the ones who'll say, call me no, I
refuse Mommy.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Six forty before we get out of here. I enjoy
listening to Mark Ronnerd. I tease him all the time,
but he usually has some great recommendations, and I will
take up his recommendations, and sometimes he will take me
up on mine. And we don't necessarily like the exact
same things he likes to show. Kung Fu I think
(29:01):
is garbage. I forgive you for your ignorance. It's okay.
It's what Kawi Chan Kane would do too. Yes you would,
but you know he's not real and neither is your
never mind. My point is sometimes you come up with
some really good stuff. And I heard that you started
watching Cross on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Oh I did. I did, and it was much better
than I figured. Because we've seen Alex Cross in several iterations,
and you can like any of them to whatever degree
that you do.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
This might be my favorite one.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
If I can say anything that's really positive about this
streaming moment is there are a lot of good, good
TV shows out there, more so than I think than
ever before that I'm willing to spend time with. I've
binged Cross, I think in maybe two days or so.
It's just one season so far, but it's a it's
a season long story arc, and it's it's more horror story,
(29:58):
I would say, than detect procedural. It's I don't want
to give too much away for those who haven't seen him,
but it's more reminiscent to me of Seven or Silence
of the Lambs than a traditional detective TV show, and
that really drew me in. There are real stakes. Every
(30:22):
character is in danger, I would say, every single one.
And I like those shows because not only is everyone expendable,
you know that each episode matters. And I can say this,
you haven't gotten as far yet Mark. Every episode matters
and there's no filler or waste I will.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
I'm obsessed with that French showed the Bureau, which the
agency is completely a remake of Right Now. But Alex
the Cross Show, I find it extra interesting. I like
the Morgan Freeman Cross but this younger version of him
is entertaining to me because they really get into some
uncomfortable kind conversations that are not sanitized, No or your protection.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Not at all. Its topical.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
It's timely, and they're talking about issues which are relevant today.
It's not just some detective in some city at some
time in history. No, it's very much set in today. Yeah,
they have some nerve the territory they get into. I
do appreciate the detective horror story thing, but we've had
(31:26):
that since Manhunter came out in nineteen eighty six. That
to me, isn't quite as new anymore. But I always
like that kind of stuff that's cracked to me, just
like a spy show would be. But this, to me,
is in the writing and just the they get right
up in each other's face and say things that you
don't figure you would hear a mainstream television character say,
and they don't. You know, they don't avoid any racial
(31:48):
topics at all. It's all just put right out there.
There are so many shows that I'm watching on streaming
more than ever before. I've almost given up completely on
broadcast television because broadcast television will never measure up, not
in terms of the violence, the language, the subject matter.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
It's just not enough anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I still have one or two procedurals that I watch,
like a Law and Order SVU and Chicago PD. But
outside of that, there's nothing on broadcast TV which is
going to appeal to me. I mean, I'm watching Linus,
I'm watching Lawman, I just finish up Cross, I'm watching
Day of the Jackal. There's so many things that I
can watch on a given night which have all the gore,
(32:28):
the violence, the adult themes, even the nudity. At times,
broadcast TV just can't keep up.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Well, it's always been pablum. I mean it's been enjoyable
pablum sometimes. But that's why when something comes along like Evil,
which was on CBS, you got to support that, because
something that good and that edgy is a rare, rare thing.
And Evil was also smart and funny in addition to
being kind of unsettling.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
But they also moved it to streaming. I think in
their last season they.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Did, and boy did they go to town or they
did they went to town in terms of language and
sitch situations and stuff that you just couldn't show on
network TV, Like, okay, if they're gonna put us at
the other table over here, let's just let's cut loose.
Have you guys checked out James Gunns Creature Commandos yet?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yes? I have not.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Oh you got to? Okay, you got to. It sounds
like you liked it more than I did. I loved it.
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I did. I loved it.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
I loved the because you know, I'm familiar with the characters,
and I love how they're building this. They're not trying
to rush into the story. They're not shy about anything
that the Creature Commandos are doing. Even though it's an
animated series, it is a very adult animated series. Take
your kids outside. There is bucket nakedness in Creature Commando.
(33:43):
What's cartoon nakedness? Set it up for people, though, Tuala.
Creature Commandos is essentially a version of the Suicide Squad
that is made up of monsters Frankenstein, Frankenstein's bride, along
with some other characters that you have seen in the
Suicide Squad, like Weasel makes return. It stars Frank Grillo,
(34:06):
who's a fantastic as I Love Frank Grillo and The
Beauty of Creature Commandos, which is James Gunn and Peter
soft Froun's first release from their iteration.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Of the DC Universe.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Every character in this series will appear in live action
form in the future movies and television series as well.
David Harbor plays Frankenstein. It is great. It is great
because I love what's happening so far. When to me,
when I walked out, I said to myself, this had
(34:40):
better be good, dumb, stupid fun with foul language, violence,
nudity all that. I said, Oh, thank you got it.
First episodes. I do want to see a live version
of Doctor Phosphorus.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Is it Max? It's on Max. Yeah, it's on Max. See,
there's so much good stuff out there.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All right, tomorrow we'll have that nice exercise lady join us,

have you. Kf I am six forty. We are alive
