We're live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app and even YouTube. We've
had a influx of new subscribers signing up at mister
Mokelly on YouTube. You can watch the live show and
you can also see the video. What's getting ready to
happen in studio. We're having Nick Poalio'keini coming up in
just a moment. But the last segment, we were talking
about Ditty and whether people should testify anonymously, and we
(00:29):
put out a poll asking via YouTube, should witnesses testify
any anonymously in the case against Ditty. Seventy three percent
said yes, twenty seven percent said no. So everyone's signing
with Towala. I don't like that at all, but we'll
deal with that later. Join us right now in studio
is the Nick Poliochini, my brother, my friend. Wait a minute,
(00:52):
see people can as this unless you go to correct
the YouTube cybulcast. But Nick Pablo Kinni perfectly blends his
boys and berry ass in the show.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's funny you say that, ye did you try to
do that?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I mean I did, but I was gonna say I
knew that there's a theme with later, so I think
that I've got that whole. Like, if you come and
you check us out mister Mokelly on YouTube right now,
you can see the incredible logo which just happens to
match my tenth anniversary at Not's Verry Farm.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Get up, so.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Wow, you got a Boys and Berry shirt? Yeah, Boison
Berry shirt Ball Calf the tenth anniversary. The Boys and
Berry festivals started back in at twenty fifteen, and now
we're at twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It's good to be here, Like this is so wild.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
We've been through this and I've been seeing this happening
behind the scenes, and to be live on YouTube and
simulcast right now, absolutely incredible, super excited, and it's yeah,
I got treats, you know, because if we're gonna do it,
we're gonna do upright, you brought up something I did.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
The funniest thing is if you're joining us on the simulcast,
you'll be able to see exactly all the goodies that
are being eaten. In fact, the funnier part is Moe
just opened his box and what's at the box. What's
in the box is something is a cookies and cream
cupcake from the bakery. It's actually an Oreo cookies and
cream cupcake. Daniel switch to that severale you can see it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So but that funny part.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
No, Boys and Berry's here for you to be seen,
just for you, Thank you, just because I know the boss. Yes,
and I'm sorry I was too busy trying to post
one more thing to make sure that you come check
us out on social media.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There we goy Brian, go ahead, zoom in on that
so they can see what's on the plate.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
So we have got all sorts of things. Great to
be here. Thank you for always having me. But of
course such a different ballgame that we have now, and
so it's so fun to be able to not only
talk about all these things and give you theater the mind,
but now we can actually show you what goodies that
we So right now underway is the Boys Andberry Festival
at Notts. We talked about it already here on Later
with mo Kelly, but it started back on the twenty
(02:51):
eighth of March and it runs through May eighteenth, so
it's got a nice long window of time and it's
a tenth anniversary for it. So everything Boys and Berry
Witch is the berry that Knots was made from. Like
the Knots family created the berry. Originally it wasn't their creation.
It was a scientist that they worked with, but I
did not know that. But that's specifically what it was.
And so that is what put boison berries on the
(03:13):
map with Knots Berry Farm, because back in the day,
it was just a berry farm off Root sixty six.
And so this is one that's why if you go
to Knots Berry Farm and you see ghost Town, it's
specific to that. It is what the original footprint was
for that roadside attraction off Root sixty six and you know,
off of Highway thirty nine, which is Beach Boulevard, is
what you see now. But yeah, it's an amazing time
(03:37):
and the thing with Knots that's being incredible and I
have to give them huge props. Not that there aren't
other theme parks here in southern California that we talked
about regularly, but during the pandemic, they did it right
and they opened their gates to a Taste of Dot
Dot Dot the Taste a Boisonberry Festival, Taste them all
these incredible opportunities for you to go and experience things,
(03:57):
and it's just now that we're looking at it where
it is taken over the park and also outside the park.
Plus a lot of vendors come in and do it,
so I've got a couple of things. If you're joining us,
mister m'kelly on YouTube, you can see it and you
can also see these are actual vendors that work with
Knots Very Farm. So not only do I have treats
for you to try from the Knots family itself, but
(04:18):
these are also outside participants, so they're the vendors. So
I've got kettle corn that's boisonberry flavored, and I also
have the freeze dried boisonberry taffy which is pretty wild,
and will have all that for you to try. Jerked
Out Jerky is the company that makes it, and they
are one of the ones that you may have seen
in like your local comedience store that has all the
(04:39):
flavored jerkys, especially the unique ones.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
They had dill flavored.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
They have Chimoi dial flavored that we're talking about boisonberry,
so I did not bring it through, but there's still flavored,
which you think if you're taking dill like that's a
delicious weed that just you know, makes things good delicious.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Okay, Well that means I'm gonna have to talk to
I'll have to make sure that I talk to the
folks at Notts and see what I can bring it
wrong for you next time. But anyway, so you've got
all these goodies. The things that I wanted to focus
on is if you are not able to go into
the theme park, Not's Verry Farm is absolutely worth your time.
And right now it's beautiful. A lot of schools still
have some spring break left. We've got Easter coming up,
(05:18):
but there's so much that's happening, not just in the park,
but you can actually go outside the park. So everything
that you're seeing at mister moke Kelly right now on
YouTube is available from the bakery outside of the park.
So even if you don't go inside, I want you
to go inside. You want to get on those roller coasters,
you want to meet Snoopy, you want to do the
whole nine. They've got some incredible shows that you can
(05:39):
check out the history of the Boys and Berry. Also,
you're celebrating the tenth anniversary big for the festival. You
can get a tasting card which is fifty five dollars
and gets you six select tastings, kind of like a
theme park down the street that we've talked about here.
But there's just so much, so good, and the thing
is not daily admission is sixty two bucks.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
That's nothing. Actually, that's not right in today's in the
scheme of things.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
That is perfect, and I think there's a lot of
different opportunities for you to check it out. They have
a hotel right next door that is not very farm themed.
We have stayed there. It is wild. They have all
of the shampoo, conditioner and body soap are boisonberry scented.
So if you want everything boison berry, it is absolutely
the time to get over there. But the things that
(06:23):
I brought in for you to try, other than your
specifically cookies and cream only.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But I've got both boisonberry fudge and boisonberry fudge with chocolate.
I have got boisonberry cinnamon roll, which is absolutely incredible. Also,
if now I know you don't care for sweet and savory, no,
but this is slightly it is a boisonberry pear and
brie tartlet, so it's it's mildly safe.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I would try that. I would go, I would love to,
and maybe we can get you to try that on
camp because we can prove it.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Now, did you bring it? I did? Is sitting over
there on the I was like, no, no, no, you're up
against it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I've got Budge, I've got actual boisonberry, which did not
make the ride from way to park to Burbank very well.
You can see that as well, but it doesn't matter
because it's just delicious boisonberry filling. And I think that's
Oh and the cake pops. So everybody has a cake pop.
Mark Ronner has a cake pop, Steffush has a cake pop.
I would give a cake pop to Twila, but I
love him too much. I do not want him to.
(07:27):
Let's see all the panels. Yes, hold up, everybody, we
can all take this together. If you're down for it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
So this is what we're looking at. Oh, I was like, no,
I've got a camera over here.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Wait. I just really and I just what's up the
same Ferrist? Did I miss that part? Yeah, that's been
up there all night. Yes, I was like I just realized, like,
what's okay? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
All right, here we go so this is a boisonberry
cake pop. It is ridiculous and I personally say a
good bite is the way to head into break if
we need to.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Nick, these are suspiciously heavy and yeah, actually kind of
girthy as well.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You know we do we do things big here and
later it thick. So all right, everybody give it a
shot and then let me know what you think.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We're gonna eat during the break and we're live on
YouTube and everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. More with Nick

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Was going on in the studio doing the break, But
we were eating our asses off, we were dancing our
asses off, having a great time. I tell you got
the best job in the world. They feed me here,
they take good care of me. Now they're taping me,
put me on video. Their worst job to have.
Speaker 4 (09:18):

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
The Boisberry Festival. It's under the way through May at
Knotsberry Farm and Buena Park.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
A lot going on. The only thing that I didn't
touch on.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
They have a delicious champagne boisonberry brunch that's available at
Missus notspried chicken. You can do that again if you
don't don't want to go into the theme park, this
is a fantastic opportunity for you to go try it out.
So jumping over to a couple of other things that
are happening and now through the weekend and beyond in
the Southland. The Accurate Grand Prix of Long Beach has
been buzzing around for like the last week. It's coming
(10:04):
up this weekend and it's actually the fiftieth anniversary of
the race in Long Beach is round, but it's wild
because you have to think we had the Toyota Grand
pre for a good period of time and that sponsor
changed over to Accura. But yeah, so it's the fiftieth anniversary,
has ntt Indie Car Series? I am s a weather
Tech sports Car Championship and more going on that starts
(10:25):
on the eleventh that runs to the thirteenth. There's a
lot going on in Long Beach, and you and I
both know because we hanging out in the South Bay
and everything else. Long Beach is a great town to
go check out anyway. You've got Belmont Shore, You've got
Retro Row. All of those places are going to be
popping all the way through the weekend with everything going on.
So even if you're not interested in the Grand Prix itself,
there's a lot of activities that are happening and well
(10:46):
worth your time to check it out. Also, And this
is something I'm gonna put this out there. What do
we do manifesting on the show. I've never been to
Coachella Music Festival in my life.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Really, as you done around southern California, you've never been.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
So if anybody is listening, sorry, I've so got some
cake pop in my mouth. If anybody is listening and
has some tickets, or anybody with Coachella and Music Festival
or Live Nation or whomever else, I would love to go.
I would absolutely love to go. So if that's the
thing we can pull off, I would absolutely be there.
But hopefully that's okay. I'll deal with the mud. So
(11:20):
this takes place. If you're unfamiliar, will you must be
living under a rock. But it's in Indio at the
Empire Polo Club and it is two weekends. This is
the first weekend and it will be also following up
and the next weekend. You've got headliners. You've got so
much going on this year. It's Lady Gaga, Green Day,
Post Malone, Travis Scott, Missy Elliott, Right, Charlie XCX, the
(11:43):
Original Misfits, Megan, thee stallion Z, and so much more
so if you want to get out there. Also, a
friend of Kafi is going to be the whether they're
in Chino. Why am I drawing a blank right now?
In kat City? And it is the I know what
is it? The why am I having this? Drawing a
blank right now, Luchador. There's Luchador brewing there we go.
(12:08):
A friend of Cafi is going to be having some
events going on as well in Cathedral City, So that
is a great place. If you have not been out
to the Kachella Valley and been able to check it out.
The reason I would encourage you to go even if
you don't have tickets. There's a lot going on. So
I have been out there during Coachell, has just not
gone to the event itself, all right. So with all
that being said, it's worth going out there because there's
(12:28):
so much happening, so many activations. You can definitely get
out and enjoy yourself. The weather's beautiful, to take the
Palm Springs aerial tramway, get that all the way up
to the top. So much happening, so that's an opportunity
for you. And then the last thing to talk about
is two things that are going on down in San Diego,
So the Seven Seas Food Festival. I love SeaWorld, and
I know that's controversial, but I love the work that
(12:50):
they do with San Diego with SeaWorld, San Diego Rescue
and everything else. But they have a lot going on
some fantastic roller coasters, which I'm a huge fan of.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
But then they have the Seven Seas Food Festival which.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Is underway, and that is another delicious opportunity for you
to kind of taste your way around the world. Most
of the food is not seafood, there's a lot of it,
but it is all inspired by oceans and bodies of
water around the world. So it's definitely worth checking out,
but especially this weekend because they have something they started
at Halloween that I did last year, and they did
a five k celebrating hallow Scream, which is their Halloween celebration.
(13:26):
They're going to be doing a five k run Fins
and Flippers this Sunday. You can still sign up all
the way through Saturday for that event. So if you
want to go and enjoy the Seven Seas Food Festival,
get the calories and then burn it off or vice versa,
burn it off ahead of time so you can eat more.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
They don't burn off like they used to. I'm sorry,
it's okay. They just keep you are in such good shape,
and especially you can.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
See no no, no, no no no, because we have video now,
so you have proof.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You don't understand I look like I had sugar in
about two weeks, and here you are coming in with
cookies and crew stuff, trying to break my diet, make
things difficult for me.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Go to YouTube, look up mister Kelly, I look like
Violet from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factor, a
Willy Wonka like I look like that kind of look.
And then you look at the spelt, mister Kelly. No, yeah, no,
And what level are you? Black belt?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah? Fifth degree black belt. I think you're full of ish.
Come on, listen, doesn't mean just because I'm fifth degree
doesn't mean that you know you are very very fit then.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So anyway, I don't know how we did evolved in
I don't know all from all from me trying to
get you to do the five K that's happening this
weekend on Sunday again. You can check that out all
the details for this. On social media, easiest is for Instagram.
You can do the Lincoln Bio Nick Polliochano. This week
I'm a Nick. I posted a couple of videos so
you can see all of the goodies from NAT's Berry
(14:52):
Farm once again. But you can always DM me, and
that's the thing. My dms are always open if you
have questions. We've got so many folks that tune in
too later with mo Kelly and then reach out beyond.
So always a pleasure to help out wherever I can.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Nick is always great to see you, and I'm glad
that everyone can see you, see us and see the interplay.
We have so much fun in this studio, we really do.
We talk about it, say oh I wish you could
have seen. Now they can see and take part in it.
You just got to make sure you come back each
and every week and.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You know that I'm here and if I'm not, I
will be here in some way, shape or form.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Now we have a whole different digital world. I'll be
bringing all this good stuff up in here. I tell you,
Oh no, no, no, you got everyone in the building
just about yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well that's fine. But you know the best part is
it's after hours, so we get for tips.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It's true, and that's the best part about being on
later in the evening. We get run of the building.
We get to do stuff that you just can't do
at twelve in the afternoon. I can't be tossing out
mother fathers at twelve, that's the truth, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
But since we get closer to Safe Harbor.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yes, and as the closer we get to it, and
having George in a little bit here, you know, get
a real quick tease to see what's coming up on
coast to coast.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Am always great to see you. Thank you, always great
to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Hey, and are you going to be coming out to
my house for fourth of July? So we got to
talk about that. It's funny enough.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
My husband Brian is behind one of the cameras right
now for the live feed. But it is our tenth
wedding anniversary, so we'll see and it's.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Always you celebrated in my house. You're not wrong.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
But the funnier part is like, maybe we need to
have mister b'kelly do some vowery rules for us.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I don't think it's different. Actually we just.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Because I know the Bible doesn't mean that I'm I'm ordained.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I have full faith between now and then in the
Internet we can get you ordained without a quow.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I have whole faith in that. That means I have
to drop fewer mother fathers. No, it doesn't sure.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I have already officiated thirteen weddings in my life. So yeah,
I and my mother fathers are a big part of
my dime. Might just regular the second that this microphone cuts.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You know how I wrong?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Oh yeah, I know how you get down exactly. So
I look forward to celebrating with you. Looking forward to
it as well.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Again, if you want to learn about anything we talked
about tonight, anything else going on, because it's not that
is what we talked about on Later, always check out
Nick Poliochini this weekend with Nick on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Those are the easiest places to find me.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Also, I don't do as much with Facebook, but the
Instagram stuff goes to Facebook. It's all part of the metaverse.
So anyway, if you need it, you want it, you
got it. It's there.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's later with mo Kelly caf I am six forty
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and still live streaming
on YouTube app. Mister mo Kelly, we have a little
bit more, just a moment. We're going to talk about
how a fungus is killing us. Not funny, very true.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
No, fun guy, fun guy, fun guy. That's plural.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I'm just saying, talk about a singular articulingular fungus or species.
Why why are you trying to correct I'm sorry, I'm
trying to get to the break.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm channeling Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Sorry, you wish wait, wait, let's wait. If I am
six forty, we're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Mister mo Kelly here, We're live everywhere in the I
Radio app, and we're still live streaming on YouTube at
mister moo Kelly. And this is a show in which,
surprisingly Tawala has been right about just about everything. We've
often talked on this show how the next pandemic is
not necessarily going to be viral. There is a show,
(18:18):
The Last of Us, which deals with this, how a
fungus can be the next pandemic. And we're finding more
and more evidence to support that once rare fungal diseases
are now killing millions presently.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
For example, there was a healthy twenty nine year old
marathon runner from California Central Valley whose heartlining was invaded
by a fungus that I can't even.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Pronounce, toxity oides coxidi oides invaded his heartlining.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
He was healthy, and then he eventually died because of it.
It was a forty five woman with poorly controlled diabetes
infected by a black fungus that destroyed part of her
face and spread to her brain. She also died, and
what was once rare is no longer rare. Medical advances
(19:16):
like organ transplants, so twalla knows something about this. Chemotherapy
and other I'll say procedures are saving lives, but they
also leave patients immunal compromise and more susceptible. Even common
conditions like diabetes raised the risk of severe fungal disease.
Here's the most important part to be completely serious and
(19:39):
estimated six point five million people develop invasive fungal infections
each year, with about two point five million deaths directly
caused by them each year, roughly twice the global toll
of tuberculosis. Know that two point five million every single
(20:03):
year deaths.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
The fungus related deaths, diseases and infections bar none are
some of the fastest growing. Not just from just these
deaths you reported, we are talking about people who are
losing limbs, people who are facing severe amputations, severe debilitating
(20:28):
side effects from fungal infections, from just hiking fungal infections
from just doing something like hiking and getting and getting
a scratch and coming back and that's turned into something
this is a very very serious thing. Has your doctor
or doctors over the years.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Because you have various doctors for different things, ever had
a specific conversation with you about these types of infections
and how they can be even more detrimental to you.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yes, No, absolutely, beyond just taking care of cut scratches,
bruises and not letting them just say okay, well those
will heal. Anything that looks awry, make sure they're reported.
But remember when I had was in the hospital for pneumonia.
It was so hard to fight it because of how
it attached to my lungs and how it's just almost
(21:18):
impossible to get rid of for quite some time. And
I was told at a certain point in time that
there are various fungal infections that can impact me that
will be damn near impossible to get rid of. So
I'm lucky that it was just pneumonia, which is bacterial, bacterial,
not fungal. Well, you know that scares the Jesus out
(21:41):
of me because you think it's fiction.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
You think you see it on TV. It's not something
that would be dealing with.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's like you would think that if two point five
million people were dying because of fungal infections each year
in the United States, that we would have had more
coverage of it, or there'll be more of a medical
focus on it.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, we talk about measles.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
The second person has died and I don't know how
many years here in the United States, but we have
fungal infections killing people daily left and right.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Well, you give them different names, you have them go
under different pretenses as far as what happened and why,
and people don't see it. But if you just said,
fungus across the board is killing this many people, that's different.
But if you give it a name no one can pronounce,
people say, oh, well, what's that to do with me?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Right, I can't pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But I took note of the fact that we're talking
about someone who's in the athletic prime of their lives
at twenty nine, was healthy across the board developed a
fungal infection.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Gone yes, and look all joking aside. This is something
that I believe we as a nation are going to
have to deal with sooner than later. I know, every
time I mentioned it, someone wants to push back. It's
not good and hotter. Global warming is a fluke this,
(23:02):
that and the sure go with that.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You have to explain that for people who don't know
why the heat the temperature of the climate impacts fungal infections.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It allows it to grow.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Warmer, drier climates allow these funguses to spread and populate
again things. These are funguses that are not just impacting people,
but animals as well. These are funguses that are infecting
insects that also pollinate various vegetables or plants and vegetables
and things like that the animals are eating in the wild.
We are seeing more and more cases of zombie deer,
(23:35):
zombie moose, elk, all these different creatures that live in
the wild who are eating these various focus that are
growing in places where they are normally migrating, habitating and
eating and things like that.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
They catch a hold of these things.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
If it's spreading to livestock, if it's spreading to things
that people do eat, people do eat bison and stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
If it's spreading like.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
That, who's to say cannot spread to us in a
way that's not as instantaneous, although it may take some time.
But as Istana says, something like you just dying from
your lungs collapsing on you or your brain riding away.
Who's to say that it cannot take shape the way again,
I say the one I said. I'm serious when I
(24:16):
say this can take the form of the funguses and
the viruses that we're singing something as fantastical as Last
of Us. I believe that there is some level of true,
some level of scientific research where someone has said, hey,
this would make for a great video game, because the
whole idea of people coming up from the ground and
(24:37):
sus like that, that's silly. Okay, back from the dead,
that's silly. But your mind, your brain, your body being
taken over by something as realistic as a fungus.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Which exists in nature. There are examples of it happening
within the animal and insect kingdom. All Ready, we are
next in line. Now you next in line. I'm not
getting in that line. Damn that, I'm stay in my
ass in the house. I'm just saying it's gonna get everybody. No, no, no, no,
(25:07):
it's not funny that people in the studio laborate. I'm
I'm not trying to be funny here, Okay, I got
a foot fungus right now?
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Ah, there it is after foot Gonna kill Me? Where
loser socks which are airy? I put connacted on that ass. Well,
you're probably good directively get it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's Later with mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Last Secon we were talking about fungal diseases and the
likelihood that it could kill us.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
All.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
We talked about how some two point five million people
die each year because of fungal diseases, and we put
out a pole question, is it possible that fungi will
kill us all?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
No said fifty three.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Percent of respondence, and yes said forty seven percent. So
the no's have it on this evening. Doesn't mean they're right,
but that's where we come out on that. And for
my final thought this evening, if you were listening or
watching earlier, I said it would be on this latest
step in this tariff war, which is now in earnest
(26:22):
getting underway tonight. So let me take my time with
this because as of midnight, and I don't know if
that's midnight Eastern time, and if so, that means it started,
or if it's midnight West Coast time. But by tomorrow
it'll be official. And by official, I mean by the
time you wake up tomorrow, the trade war will have
(26:46):
officially begun. It will be officially underway between the two
biggest economies in the world, the US and China. Today,
the market's rally for what seemed to be positive news
that countries were either willing to negotiate new trade deals
with the US or that President Trump might be open
(27:06):
to softening his stance on tariffs worldwide. Neither turned out
to be true, and Trump imposed an additional eighty four
percent in levees across all Chinese imports starting midnight. That
means all goods from China are subject to a tariff
of at least one hundred and four percent until further notice.
(27:30):
It's official. The trade war has begun between the two
biggest kids on the block. I don't know who the
bully is in this. If the previous days of dal
Jones turmoil, where the appetizer get ready for the main course,
the main course is virtually every country, every commodity, every currency,
every product will be more expensive, every single one, no exaggeration.
(27:57):
This battle could be as short as the US VERSUS
Wait Operation Enduring Freedom or Desert Storm, whatever you want
to call it, or drag on indefinitely like the Afghanistan War.
Well that's not exactly true. Our economy truth be told
with creator in just months. We have like a sixty
five percent chance of a recession, so this would happen
in months, not years. But the real question, and it's
(28:19):
a serious question, is whether we would creter before China
and the betting money no pun intended, is on us.
That's because China owns so much of our debt. And
there's the prospect of whether the world decides to unite
against the common enemy, the single instigator who started all this,
and that would be US, as in US, the United States.
(28:42):
And I'm not an economist. I did take a few
economics classes in college. I think Mark Ronner took a
few as well, but I think he would agree with
me on this. In the way that I listened to
experts regarding COVID, I listened to the economic experts now,
so I'm not trying to say what I believe is
an expert perspective, but I do listen to actual experts,
(29:06):
and almost to a person, they the experts fear the
worst and can see the proverbial train on the horizon
coming straight for us. I am a civic and I
believe people are dishonest about most things.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Most things, but not everything.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
But you will find a lot of honesty in how
people want to protect their money. There is real worldwide
concern about these tariffs. The markets have shown as much,
and by and large, most people don't want to take
unnecessary risk with their money. Some do, but it's not
the majority. And economic trade war is just that war.
(29:42):
It's done to harm others involved. It's punitive, it can
reshape countries and their economies for decades. It could even
lead to actual war. It's just that serious. This is
not just about whether Donald Trump can reset the trade
imbalance worldwide, which is a legitimate issue. Hear me, It's
absolutely a legitimate issue. He is accurate that the world
(30:05):
has taken advantage of us for decades. There's no argument
to be had there. But the debate is how you
go about it. Do you start an economic fight with
one hundred and eighty five countries at the same g
damn time, or do you have battles with a few
at a time to not disrupt the world economy or
torpedo your own Because it's a funny thing. When you
(30:28):
start a literal fight with the rest of the world,
you may find yourself in a situation where the world
gangs up on you because you started to fight with
both your allies and your enemies. The only thing the
US can do is start to fight. We can't control
how the world brings the fight right back to us.
Hit someone in the mouth and they may kick you
(30:49):
in the groin, or their friends may jump in and
hit you in the head with a bottle. A lot
of unknowns in a fight. If you've ever been in one,
you know what that's like. But strategy always matters going in.
It's like realizing that your house has ants or roaches
and being serious here, do you use the can of
raid or do you choose a sledgehammer and try to
kill the ants individually and put holes everywhere in your house?
(31:11):
In other words, you may trade one problem for a
bunch of others. Just because something is a legitimate issue,
it in no way justifies any and every response to
that issue, Method and methodology matter. It's about whether the
method destroys our own economy in the process. But it
(31:32):
is official. The economic war and tariffa geddon have begun.
And in the immortal words of Samuel L. Jackson in
Jurassic Park, hold on to your butts. For KFI AM
six forty, I'm MO Kelly. You have no access to
grind here. What do you think we are? Lumberjacks?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
How do you even grind it?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Acts?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Anyway, I'm KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County lives
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Everywhere on the ECART radio

Mokelly on YouTube. You can watch the live show and
you can also see the video. What's getting ready to
happen in studio. We're having Nick Poalio'keini coming up in
just a moment. But the last segment, we were talking
about Ditty and whether people should testify anonymously, and we
(00:29):
put out a poll asking via YouTube, should witnesses testify
any anonymously in the case against Ditty. Seventy three percent
said yes, twenty seven percent said no. So everyone's signing
with Towala. I don't like that at all, but we'll
deal with that later. Join us right now in studio
is the Nick Poliochini, my brother, my friend. Wait a minute,
(00:52):
see people can as this unless you go to correct
the YouTube cybulcast. But Nick Pablo Kinni perfectly blends his
boys and berry ass in the show.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's funny you say that, ye did you try to
do that?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I mean I did, but I was gonna say I
knew that there's a theme with later, so I think
that I've got that whole. Like, if you come and
you check us out mister Mokelly on YouTube right now,
you can see the incredible logo which just happens to
match my tenth anniversary at Not's Verry Farm.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Get up, so.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Wow, you got a Boys and Berry shirt? Yeah, Boison
Berry shirt Ball Calf the tenth anniversary. The Boys and
Berry festivals started back in at twenty fifteen, and now
we're at twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It's good to be here, Like this is so wild.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
We've been through this and I've been seeing this happening
behind the scenes, and to be live on YouTube and
simulcast right now, absolutely incredible, super excited, and it's yeah,
I got treats, you know, because if we're gonna do it,
we're gonna do upright, you brought up something I did.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
The funniest thing is if you're joining us on the simulcast,
you'll be able to see exactly all the goodies that
are being eaten. In fact, the funnier part is Moe
just opened his box and what's at the box. What's
in the box is something is a cookies and cream
cupcake from the bakery. It's actually an Oreo cookies and
cream cupcake. Daniel switch to that severale you can see it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So but that funny part.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
No, Boys and Berry's here for you to be seen,
just for you, Thank you, just because I know the boss. Yes,
and I'm sorry I was too busy trying to post
one more thing to make sure that you come check
us out on social media.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There we goy Brian, go ahead, zoom in on that
so they can see what's on the plate.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
So we have got all sorts of things. Great to
be here. Thank you for always having me. But of
course such a different ballgame that we have now, and
so it's so fun to be able to not only
talk about all these things and give you theater the mind,
but now we can actually show you what goodies that
we So right now underway is the Boys Andberry Festival
at Notts. We talked about it already here on Later
with mo Kelly, but it started back on the twenty
(02:51):
eighth of March and it runs through May eighteenth, so
it's got a nice long window of time and it's
a tenth anniversary for it. So everything Boys and Berry
Witch is the berry that Knots was made from. Like
the Knots family created the berry. Originally it wasn't their creation.
It was a scientist that they worked with, but I
did not know that. But that's specifically what it was.
And so that is what put boison berries on the
(03:13):
map with Knots Berry Farm, because back in the day,
it was just a berry farm off Root sixty six.
And so this is one that's why if you go
to Knots Berry Farm and you see ghost Town, it's
specific to that. It is what the original footprint was
for that roadside attraction off Root sixty six and you know,
off of Highway thirty nine, which is Beach Boulevard, is
what you see now. But yeah, it's an amazing time
(03:37):
and the thing with Knots that's being incredible and I
have to give them huge props. Not that there aren't
other theme parks here in southern California that we talked
about regularly, but during the pandemic, they did it right
and they opened their gates to a Taste of Dot
Dot Dot the Taste a Boisonberry Festival, Taste them all
these incredible opportunities for you to go and experience things,
(03:57):
and it's just now that we're looking at it where
it is taken over the park and also outside the park.
Plus a lot of vendors come in and do it,
so I've got a couple of things. If you're joining us,
mister m'kelly on YouTube, you can see it and you
can also see these are actual vendors that work with
Knots Very Farm. So not only do I have treats
for you to try from the Knots family itself, but
(04:18):
these are also outside participants, so they're the vendors. So
I've got kettle corn that's boisonberry flavored, and I also
have the freeze dried boisonberry taffy which is pretty wild,
and will have all that for you to try. Jerked
Out Jerky is the company that makes it, and they
are one of the ones that you may have seen
in like your local comedience store that has all the
(04:39):
flavored jerkys, especially the unique ones.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
They had dill flavored.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
They have Chimoi dial flavored that we're talking about boisonberry,
so I did not bring it through, but there's still flavored,
which you think if you're taking dill like that's a
delicious weed that just you know, makes things good delicious.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Okay, Well that means I'm gonna have to talk to
I'll have to make sure that I talk to the
folks at Notts and see what I can bring it
wrong for you next time. But anyway, so you've got
all these goodies. The things that I wanted to focus
on is if you are not able to go into
the theme park, Not's Verry Farm is absolutely worth your time.
And right now it's beautiful. A lot of schools still
have some spring break left. We've got Easter coming up,
(05:18):
but there's so much that's happening, not just in the park,
but you can actually go outside the park. So everything
that you're seeing at mister moke Kelly right now on
YouTube is available from the bakery outside of the park.
So even if you don't go inside, I want you
to go inside. You want to get on those roller coasters,
you want to meet Snoopy, you want to do the
whole nine. They've got some incredible shows that you can
(05:39):
check out the history of the Boys and Berry. Also,
you're celebrating the tenth anniversary big for the festival. You
can get a tasting card which is fifty five dollars
and gets you six select tastings, kind of like a
theme park down the street that we've talked about here.
But there's just so much, so good, and the thing
is not daily admission is sixty two bucks.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
That's nothing. Actually, that's not right in today's in the
scheme of things.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
That is perfect, and I think there's a lot of
different opportunities for you to check it out. They have
a hotel right next door that is not very farm themed.
We have stayed there. It is wild. They have all
of the shampoo, conditioner and body soap are boisonberry scented.
So if you want everything boison berry, it is absolutely
the time to get over there. But the things that
(06:23):
I brought in for you to try, other than your
specifically cookies and cream only.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But I've got both boisonberry fudge and boisonberry fudge with chocolate.
I have got boisonberry cinnamon roll, which is absolutely incredible. Also,
if now I know you don't care for sweet and savory, no,
but this is slightly it is a boisonberry pear and
brie tartlet, so it's it's mildly safe.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I would try that. I would go, I would love to,
and maybe we can get you to try that on
camp because we can prove it.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Now, did you bring it? I did? Is sitting over
there on the I was like, no, no, no, you're up
against it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I've got Budge, I've got actual boisonberry, which did not
make the ride from way to park to Burbank very well.
You can see that as well, but it doesn't matter
because it's just delicious boisonberry filling. And I think that's
Oh and the cake pops. So everybody has a cake pop.
Mark Ronner has a cake pop, Steffush has a cake pop.
I would give a cake pop to Twila, but I
love him too much. I do not want him to.
(07:27):
Let's see all the panels. Yes, hold up, everybody, we
can all take this together. If you're down for it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
So this is what we're looking at. Oh, I was like, no,
I've got a camera over here.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Wait. I just really and I just what's up the
same Ferrist? Did I miss that part? Yeah, that's been
up there all night. Yes, I was like I just realized, like,
what's okay? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
All right, here we go so this is a boisonberry
cake pop. It is ridiculous and I personally say a
good bite is the way to head into break if
we need to.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Nick, these are suspiciously heavy and yeah, actually kind of
girthy as well.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You know we do we do things big here and
later it thick. So all right, everybody give it a
shot and then let me know what you think.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We're gonna eat during the break and we're live on

asses off, having a great time. I tell you got
the best job in the world. They feed me here,
they take good care of me. Now they're taping me,

Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
The Boisberry Festival. It's under the way through May at
Knotsberry Farm and Buena Park.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
A lot going on. The only thing that I didn't
touch on.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
They have a delicious champagne boisonberry brunch that's available at
Missus notspried chicken. You can do that again if you
don't don't want to go into the theme park, this
is a fantastic opportunity for you to go try it out.
So jumping over to a couple of other things that
are happening and now through the weekend and beyond in
the Southland. The Accurate Grand Prix of Long Beach has
been buzzing around for like the last week. It's coming
(10:04):
up this weekend and it's actually the fiftieth anniversary of
the race in Long Beach is round, but it's wild
because you have to think we had the Toyota Grand
pre for a good period of time and that sponsor
changed over to Accura. But yeah, so it's the fiftieth anniversary,
has ntt Indie Car Series? I am s a weather
Tech sports Car Championship and more going on that starts
(10:25):
on the eleventh that runs to the thirteenth. There's a
lot going on in Long Beach, and you and I
both know because we hanging out in the South Bay
and everything else. Long Beach is a great town to
go check out anyway. You've got Belmont Shore, You've got
Retro Row. All of those places are going to be
popping all the way through the weekend with everything going on.
So even if you're not interested in the Grand Prix itself,
there's a lot of activities that are happening and well
(10:46):
worth your time to check it out. Also, And this
is something I'm gonna put this out there. What do
we do manifesting on the show. I've never been to
Coachella Music Festival in my life.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Really, as you done around southern California, you've never been.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
So if anybody is listening, sorry, I've so got some
cake pop in my mouth. If anybody is listening and
has some tickets, or anybody with Coachella and Music Festival
or Live Nation or whomever else, I would love to go.
I would absolutely love to go. So if that's the
thing we can pull off, I would absolutely be there.
But hopefully that's okay. I'll deal with the mud. So
(11:20):
this takes place. If you're unfamiliar, will you must be
living under a rock. But it's in Indio at the
Empire Polo Club and it is two weekends. This is
the first weekend and it will be also following up
and the next weekend. You've got headliners. You've got so
much going on this year. It's Lady Gaga, Green Day,
Post Malone, Travis Scott, Missy Elliott, Right, Charlie XCX, the
(11:43):
Original Misfits, Megan, thee stallion Z, and so much more
so if you want to get out there. Also, a
friend of Kafi is going to be the whether they're
in Chino. Why am I drawing a blank right now?
In kat City? And it is the I know what
is it? The why am I having this? Drawing a
blank right now, Luchador. There's Luchador brewing there we go.
(12:08):
A friend of Cafi is going to be having some
events going on as well in Cathedral City, So that
is a great place. If you have not been out
to the Kachella Valley and been able to check it out.
The reason I would encourage you to go even if
you don't have tickets. There's a lot going on. So
I have been out there during Coachell, has just not
gone to the event itself, all right. So with all
that being said, it's worth going out there because there's
(12:28):
so much happening, so many activations. You can definitely get
out and enjoy yourself. The weather's beautiful, to take the
Palm Springs aerial tramway, get that all the way up
to the top. So much happening, so that's an opportunity
for you. And then the last thing to talk about
is two things that are going on down in San Diego,
So the Seven Seas Food Festival. I love SeaWorld, and
I know that's controversial, but I love the work that
(12:50):
they do with San Diego with SeaWorld, San Diego Rescue
and everything else. But they have a lot going on
some fantastic roller coasters, which I'm a huge fan of.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
But then they have the Seven Seas Food Festival which.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Is underway, and that is another delicious opportunity for you
to kind of taste your way around the world. Most
of the food is not seafood, there's a lot of it,
but it is all inspired by oceans and bodies of
water around the world. So it's definitely worth checking out,
but especially this weekend because they have something they started
at Halloween that I did last year, and they did
a five k celebrating hallow Scream, which is their Halloween celebration.
(13:26):
They're going to be doing a five k run Fins
and Flippers this Sunday. You can still sign up all
the way through Saturday for that event. So if you
want to go and enjoy the Seven Seas Food Festival,
get the calories and then burn it off or vice versa,
burn it off ahead of time so you can eat more.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
They don't burn off like they used to. I'm sorry,
it's okay. They just keep you are in such good shape,
and especially you can.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
See no no, no, no no no, because we have video now,
so you have proof.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You don't understand I look like I had sugar in
about two weeks, and here you are coming in with
cookies and crew stuff, trying to break my diet, make
things difficult for me.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Go to YouTube, look up mister Kelly, I look like
Violet from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factor, a
Willy Wonka like I look like that kind of look.
And then you look at the spelt, mister Kelly. No, yeah, no,
And what level are you? Black belt?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah? Fifth degree black belt. I think you're full of ish.
Come on, listen, doesn't mean just because I'm fifth degree
doesn't mean that you know you are very very fit then.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So anyway, I don't know how we did evolved in
I don't know all from all from me trying to
get you to do the five K that's happening this
weekend on Sunday again. You can check that out all
the details for this. On social media, easiest is for Instagram.
You can do the Lincoln Bio Nick Polliochano. This week
I'm a Nick. I posted a couple of videos so
you can see all of the goodies from NAT's Berry
(14:52):
Farm once again. But you can always DM me, and
that's the thing. My dms are always open if you
have questions. We've got so many folks that tune in
too later with mo Kelly and then reach out beyond.
So always a pleasure to help out wherever I can.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Nick is always great to see you, and I'm glad
that everyone can see you, see us and see the interplay.
We have so much fun in this studio, we really do.
We talk about it, say oh I wish you could
have seen. Now they can see and take part in it.
You just got to make sure you come back each
and every week and.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You know that I'm here and if I'm not, I
will be here in some way, shape or form.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Now we have a whole different digital world. I'll be
bringing all this good stuff up in here. I tell you,
Oh no, no, no, you got everyone in the building
just about yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well that's fine. But you know the best part is
it's after hours, so we get for tips.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It's true, and that's the best part about being on
later in the evening. We get run of the building.
We get to do stuff that you just can't do
at twelve in the afternoon. I can't be tossing out
mother fathers at twelve, that's the truth, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
But since we get closer to Safe Harbor.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yes, and as the closer we get to it, and
having George in a little bit here, you know, get
a real quick tease to see what's coming up on
coast to coast.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Am always great to see you. Thank you, always great
to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Hey, and are you going to be coming out to
my house for fourth of July? So we got to
talk about that. It's funny enough.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
My husband Brian is behind one of the cameras right
now for the live feed. But it is our tenth
wedding anniversary, so we'll see and it's.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Always you celebrated in my house. You're not wrong.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
But the funnier part is like, maybe we need to
have mister b'kelly do some vowery rules for us.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I don't think it's different. Actually we just.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Because I know the Bible doesn't mean that I'm I'm ordained.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I have full faith between now and then in the
Internet we can get you ordained without a quow.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I have whole faith in that. That means I have
to drop fewer mother fathers. No, it doesn't sure.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I have already officiated thirteen weddings in my life. So yeah,
I and my mother fathers are a big part of
my dime. Might just regular the second that this microphone cuts.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You know how I wrong?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Oh yeah, I know how you get down exactly. So
I look forward to celebrating with you. Looking forward to
it as well.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Again, if you want to learn about anything we talked
about tonight, anything else going on, because it's not that
is what we talked about on Later, always check out
Nick Poliochini this weekend with Nick on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Those are the easiest places to find me.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Also, I don't do as much with Facebook, but the
Instagram stuff goes to Facebook. It's all part of the metaverse.
So anyway, if you need it, you want it, you
got it. It's there.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's later with mo Kelly caf I am six forty
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and still live streaming
on YouTube app. Mister mo Kelly, we have a little
bit more, just a moment. We're going to talk about
how a fungus is killing us. Not funny, very true.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
No, fun guy, fun guy, fun guy. That's plural.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I'm just saying, talk about a singular articulingular fungus or species.
Why why are you trying to correct I'm sorry, I'm
trying to get to the break.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm channeling Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Sorry, you wish wait, wait, let's wait. If I am
six forty, we're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Mister mo Kelly here, We're live everywhere in the I
Radio app, and we're still live streaming on YouTube at
mister moo Kelly. And this is a show in which,
surprisingly Tawala has been right about just about everything. We've
often talked on this show how the next pandemic is
not necessarily going to be viral. There is a show,
(18:18):
The Last of Us, which deals with this, how a
fungus can be the next pandemic. And we're finding more
and more evidence to support that once rare fungal diseases
are now killing millions presently.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
For example, there was a healthy twenty nine year old
marathon runner from California Central Valley whose heartlining was invaded
by a fungus that I can't even.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Pronounce, toxity oides coxidi oides invaded his heartlining.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
He was healthy, and then he eventually died because of it.
It was a forty five woman with poorly controlled diabetes
infected by a black fungus that destroyed part of her
face and spread to her brain. She also died, and
what was once rare is no longer rare. Medical advances
(19:16):
like organ transplants, so twalla knows something about this. Chemotherapy
and other I'll say procedures are saving lives, but they
also leave patients immunal compromise and more susceptible. Even common
conditions like diabetes raised the risk of severe fungal disease.
Here's the most important part to be completely serious and
(19:39):
estimated six point five million people develop invasive fungal infections
each year, with about two point five million deaths directly
caused by them each year, roughly twice the global toll
of tuberculosis. Know that two point five million every single
(20:03):
year deaths.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
The fungus related deaths, diseases and infections bar none are
some of the fastest growing. Not just from just these
deaths you reported, we are talking about people who are
losing limbs, people who are facing severe amputations, severe debilitating
(20:28):
side effects from fungal infections, from just hiking fungal infections
from just doing something like hiking and getting and getting
a scratch and coming back and that's turned into something
this is a very very serious thing. Has your doctor
or doctors over the years.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Because you have various doctors for different things, ever had
a specific conversation with you about these types of infections
and how they can be even more detrimental to you.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yes, No, absolutely, beyond just taking care of cut scratches,
bruises and not letting them just say okay, well those
will heal. Anything that looks awry, make sure they're reported.
But remember when I had was in the hospital for pneumonia.
It was so hard to fight it because of how
it attached to my lungs and how it's just almost
(21:18):
impossible to get rid of for quite some time. And
I was told at a certain point in time that
there are various fungal infections that can impact me that
will be damn near impossible to get rid of. So
I'm lucky that it was just pneumonia, which is bacterial, bacterial,
not fungal. Well, you know that scares the Jesus out
(21:41):
of me because you think it's fiction.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
You think you see it on TV. It's not something
that would be dealing with.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's like you would think that if two point five
million people were dying because of fungal infections each year
in the United States, that we would have had more
coverage of it, or there'll be more of a medical
focus on it.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, we talk about measles.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
The second person has died and I don't know how
many years here in the United States, but we have
fungal infections killing people daily left and right.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Well, you give them different names, you have them go
under different pretenses as far as what happened and why,
and people don't see it. But if you just said,
fungus across the board is killing this many people, that's different.
But if you give it a name no one can pronounce,
people say, oh, well, what's that to do with me?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Right, I can't pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But I took note of the fact that we're talking
about someone who's in the athletic prime of their lives
at twenty nine, was healthy across the board developed a
fungal infection.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Gone yes, and look all joking aside. This is something
that I believe we as a nation are going to
have to deal with sooner than later. I know, every
time I mentioned it, someone wants to push back. It's
not good and hotter. Global warming is a fluke this,
(23:02):
that and the sure go with that.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You have to explain that for people who don't know
why the heat the temperature of the climate impacts fungal infections.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It allows it to grow.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Warmer, drier climates allow these funguses to spread and populate
again things. These are funguses that are not just impacting people,
but animals as well. These are funguses that are infecting
insects that also pollinate various vegetables or plants and vegetables
and things like that the animals are eating in the wild.
We are seeing more and more cases of zombie deer,
(23:35):
zombie moose, elk, all these different creatures that live in
the wild who are eating these various focus that are
growing in places where they are normally migrating, habitating and
eating and things like that.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
They catch a hold of these things.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
If it's spreading to livestock, if it's spreading to things
that people do eat, people do eat bison and stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
If it's spreading like.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
That, who's to say cannot spread to us in a
way that's not as instantaneous, although it may take some time.
But as Istana says, something like you just dying from
your lungs collapsing on you or your brain riding away.
Who's to say that it cannot take shape the way again,
I say the one I said. I'm serious when I
(24:16):
say this can take the form of the funguses and
the viruses that we're singing something as fantastical as Last
of Us. I believe that there is some level of true,
some level of scientific research where someone has said, hey,
this would make for a great video game, because the
whole idea of people coming up from the ground and
(24:37):
sus like that, that's silly. Okay, back from the dead,
that's silly. But your mind, your brain, your body being
taken over by something as realistic as a fungus.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Which exists in nature. There are examples of it happening
within the animal and insect kingdom. All Ready, we are
next in line. Now you next in line. I'm not
getting in that line. Damn that, I'm stay in my
ass in the house. I'm just saying it's gonna get everybody. No, no, no, no,
(25:07):
it's not funny that people in the studio laborate. I'm
I'm not trying to be funny here, Okay, I got
a foot fungus right now?
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Ah, there it is after foot Gonna kill Me? Where
loser socks which are airy? I put connacted on that ass. Well,
you're probably good directively get it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's Later with mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Last Secon we were talking about fungal diseases and the
likelihood that it could kill us.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
All.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
We talked about how some two point five million people
die each year because of fungal diseases, and we put
out a pole question, is it possible that fungi will
kill us all?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
No said fifty three.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Percent of respondence, and yes said forty seven percent. So
the no's have it on this evening. Doesn't mean they're right,
but that's where we come out on that. And for
my final thought this evening, if you were listening or
watching earlier, I said it would be on this latest
step in this tariff war, which is now in earnest
(26:22):
getting underway tonight. So let me take my time with
this because as of midnight, and I don't know if
that's midnight Eastern time, and if so, that means it started,
or if it's midnight West Coast time. But by tomorrow
it'll be official. And by official, I mean by the
time you wake up tomorrow, the trade war will have
(26:46):
officially begun. It will be officially underway between the two
biggest economies in the world, the US and China. Today,
the market's rally for what seemed to be positive news
that countries were either willing to negotiate new trade deals
with the US or that President Trump might be open
(27:06):
to softening his stance on tariffs worldwide. Neither turned out
to be true, and Trump imposed an additional eighty four
percent in levees across all Chinese imports starting midnight. That
means all goods from China are subject to a tariff
of at least one hundred and four percent until further notice.
(27:30):
It's official. The trade war has begun between the two
biggest kids on the block. I don't know who the
bully is in this. If the previous days of dal
Jones turmoil, where the appetizer get ready for the main course,
the main course is virtually every country, every commodity, every currency,
every product will be more expensive, every single one, no exaggeration.
(27:57):
This battle could be as short as the US VERSUS
Wait Operation Enduring Freedom or Desert Storm, whatever you want
to call it, or drag on indefinitely like the Afghanistan War.
Well that's not exactly true. Our economy truth be told
with creator in just months. We have like a sixty
five percent chance of a recession, so this would happen
in months, not years. But the real question, and it's
(28:19):
a serious question, is whether we would creter before China
and the betting money no pun intended, is on us.
That's because China owns so much of our debt. And
there's the prospect of whether the world decides to unite
against the common enemy, the single instigator who started all this,
and that would be US, as in US, the United States.
(28:42):
And I'm not an economist. I did take a few
economics classes in college. I think Mark Ronner took a
few as well, but I think he would agree with
me on this. In the way that I listened to
experts regarding COVID, I listened to the economic experts now,
so I'm not trying to say what I believe is
an expert perspective, but I do listen to actual experts,
(29:06):
and almost to a person, they the experts fear the
worst and can see the proverbial train on the horizon
coming straight for us. I am a civic and I
believe people are dishonest about most things.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Most things, but not everything.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
But you will find a lot of honesty in how
people want to protect their money. There is real worldwide
concern about these tariffs. The markets have shown as much,
and by and large, most people don't want to take
unnecessary risk with their money. Some do, but it's not
the majority. And economic trade war is just that war.
(29:42):
It's done to harm others involved. It's punitive, it can
reshape countries and their economies for decades. It could even
lead to actual war. It's just that serious. This is
not just about whether Donald Trump can reset the trade
imbalance worldwide, which is a legitimate issue. Hear me, It's
absolutely a legitimate issue. He is accurate that the world
(30:05):
has taken advantage of us for decades. There's no argument
to be had there. But the debate is how you
go about it. Do you start an economic fight with
one hundred and eighty five countries at the same g
damn time, or do you have battles with a few
at a time to not disrupt the world economy or
torpedo your own Because it's a funny thing. When you
(30:28):
start a literal fight with the rest of the world,
you may find yourself in a situation where the world
gangs up on you because you started to fight with
both your allies and your enemies. The only thing the
US can do is start to fight. We can't control
how the world brings the fight right back to us.
Hit someone in the mouth and they may kick you
(30:49):
in the groin, or their friends may jump in and
hit you in the head with a bottle. A lot
of unknowns in a fight. If you've ever been in one,
you know what that's like. But strategy always matters going in.
It's like realizing that your house has ants or roaches
and being serious here, do you use the can of
raid or do you choose a sledgehammer and try to
kill the ants individually and put holes everywhere in your house?
(31:11):
In other words, you may trade one problem for a
bunch of others. Just because something is a legitimate issue,
it in no way justifies any and every response to
that issue, Method and methodology matter. It's about whether the
method destroys our own economy in the process. But it
(31:32):
is official. The economic war and tariffa geddon have begun.
And in the immortal words of Samuel L. Jackson in
Jurassic Park, hold on to your butts. For KFI AM
six forty, I'm MO Kelly. You have no access to
grind here. What do you think we are? Lumberjacks?
