Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Six FORTYFIM six forty with Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app,
and live on YouTube with the video simulcast. It's time
to find out what the hell is going on with
Nick Poliochini. Nick, you've been doing too much all night time.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I was gonna say, give me two seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
From the beginning of the show. You're bringing in food.
We've been eaten and imbibing all night long.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
It's been and I have a mouthful of food, and
I'm gonna tell you I was We got a little
bit of some and something. Tonight has been great. The
energy for Tuesday Night has been phenomenal. If you had
not seen what we have been doing, you have to
check out the podcast. You have to check out YouTube
when we get that published. But I want to kind
(00:48):
of give you a little bit of behind the scenes
and a rundown on all the things that we were
eating today so that you can go out and enjoy
them yourself. So we actually trying two different meals that
are available at your nearest Wendy's right now. One'll be
leaving very soon. It doesn't have an official end date,
but it will be sooner than later. And Tuala has
had this, and now we've had our guest who has
(01:10):
just here had this and we've all tasted it. But
the fuego meal, Takis Fuego meal is available. It started
back on the twentieth of June and it will stay
as long as possible. But what it is is if
you ever think about looking at social media and you
see a lot of influencers that maybe try some fun
mashups or something of that effect. And it's funny because
(01:31):
Ed Garrigus, who we've talked about, a front of the
show and a huge supporter. Specifically, he and I had
talked about how great it was to get one of
the baked potatoes from Wendy's and go to the store
and get takis and crunch them up and smash them
on top of it. So you get the fully dressed
potato with the sober cream and the chives and the
cheese and the bacon, and then you top it with
the takis delicious.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Well. Coincidentally, little did.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
We know that out of Ohio, which is home office
for Wendy, as they were putting together at Taki's promotion,
so you can still get this, and what comes with
it is a Taki's Fuego chicken sandwich, which is wonderful
on its own if you like the Windies chicken sandwiches themselves,
but then it comes topped with a special cheese sauce
and then also crumbled up takis, so you've got that
(02:13):
whole concept. Also you've gotten if you're looking at a
following along with us on YouTube at mister mom Kelly,
you have fuego fries, which is there we go looking
good oat this way ye delicious and literally it is
if you are now this is funny with Carnicia, who
is from no Orlins. Specifically, when you get fresh begnets
(02:36):
in Nolins, if you go to Rop Brennan's and Bress,
if you go to Caffe Damon's or whatever, is there
something else, Carnicia, someplace else that's good.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, just Caffe Dumont.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Okay so, which I love. And if you've been they
also have chickory coffee. It's delicious. It's a whole different
ball game. But they give you a bag with fresh
hot out of the fryer begnets and then it's full
of powdered sugar and then you shake the bag, you're yourself, Well,
what Wendy's has done is done the same thing, and
they literally gave you a bag and you can hear
this is your ASMR of food, but it's literally and
(03:09):
I'll try my best to show it to the camera,
but you can see it's got the u Taki's dust
in there. So you're able to have Taki's French fries,
which are incredible. And then you were able to also
get and we tried two different drinks that were special,
the lemonade Fresh lemonade with mango and pineapple. And then
also Sprite is the partner for the meal and so
(03:31):
we had Sprite zero with pina or pineapple, so that
was delicious. Anyway, those are two of the meals. You
saw us on YouTube at mister Mokelly, you heard us
talk about it. You may have seen it on Instagram
or on Facebook, but that was what started it all.
But what launched on Monday, so yesterday, and actually you
might have been able to catch last Thursday a special
event on social media that happened at a Wendy's in Norwalk.
(03:53):
But Wendy's and Netflix Wednesday, so Netflix's went flex, Netflix's Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
All right, let's recite Ready to go too.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Netflix's Wednesday Season two premieres tomorrow, And so Wendy's and
Netflix's Wednesday collaborated on a Meal of Misfortune. In fact,
Wednesday herself helped to put the meal together. What made
that special and unique is we had and you've heard
what everybody has thought about the Frosties, so you were
(04:25):
able to have different options with it. It specifically comes
with ten nuggets, and it comes with mystery dipping sauces.
And if you're following us on YouTube, mister Mokelly, I'm
trying to there we go. It's not as but the
sauces are not marked in any way, shape or form.
And I know what they are because I have tried
them all and they're delicious, but nowhere to woe grave mistake.
(04:46):
You can't hide hyde, so like hide the like dot,
thank you very much. And then this will sting And
I know that Carnice has had this will sting And
what did you think?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It was pretty good?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Are you talking about this sauce? The sauce yeah, too hot,
no it was. It wasn't too high, No it wasn't.
But it does have a kick right.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yes, yeah, I was gonna say, what did you think
because you've tried the same sauce.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, it was good. It's just the built up too
much heat for me. Okay, but it was good. I
like the flavor. I love how I have like dead
eyes on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
It's like perfect for Wednesday items right now, Like that's
the screen capture right there is like move I'm.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Gay, Wednesday fries, all the things.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Love it for those Wait oh yeah, sorry, sorry, you
have to explain your shirt because people don't watch YouTube.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
So if you are familiar with me and have seen
me on social media, you know that Halloween is a
big part of my life. And a good friend of
my Navette who has backstitch brew Ha out in Pomona.
She does incredible apparel and she does so many things.
So move I'm Gay was a internet meme and you
can find it on YouTube, you can find it on Instagram,
(05:56):
you can find it on TikTok from a few years
ago of some very flamboyant, allegedly homosexual man walking into
a copy room at an office and saying.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Move, I'm gay, Get out of my way. So hilarious.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That's where this came from, but this was actually a
fundraiser that Ivette had done, And so I'm supporting the
move I'm Gay hat and move I'm Gay t shirt
because yes, as we all are familiar, and I've been
with my husband for fourteen years now, we just celebrate
our tenth wedding anniversary. So yeah, but it's funny because
there's a lot of LGBTQ IA plus or Alphabet Mafia
(06:29):
who are huge fans of Netflix and Wednesday specifically the
Apps family, because it's ti in. The tie in is
that that's such a different world specifically that's been created,
that there's ways to relate to the characters, even if
it's not a one for one exchange, even if there's
not queer specific There is in the series, but if
there's not queer specific representation, it's being able to see
(06:51):
yourself as something different or as I always say, the
reason that you hear from me and people and it
could be going in the chat right now, but whatever
I talk about being queer or being gay, because I
could be that green eyed monster that you don't know.
And so if you don't see me and you don't
hear me, and you don't get to know about me
(07:13):
and my life. You're just gonna have whatever the media
has represented or certain interest groups have represented, and so
being here and being a representative is kind of one
of those things. And a lot of the cast members,
specifically from Wednesday on Netflix, are huge supporters of the
Alphabet Mafia, and some of them may or may not
(07:34):
identify as members of the Alphabet Mafia and may be
out or may not be out, and it's none of
my business, none of our business. But because it is
such a love franchise with the Adams family period to
begin with, but then his whole new iteration with youth,
and you were following the story if you're not familiar,
if you did not watch season one of Wednesday on Netflix,
it's about Wednesday Adams, so the daughter from the Adams family,
(07:57):
and it's about her going away to boarding school and
what happens. And that's what's coming up next. So season
two will be in two parts. First part comes out
tomorrow with four episodes, and then the following second part
comes out I believe in September. Yeah, sometime in September.
The final fourth episodes will be coming for the series.
(08:17):
So that's what it was. So it was really fun
and I always love bringing things because as Moe always says,
we have.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So much fun on this show, we really do.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And with that, there's no better place here on KFI,
on the radio, on the iHeartRadio app, on YouTube, on Instagram,
on Facebook, on all the socials to really be able
to express that and be able to share it with you. Plus,
this is something fun that's in art again, like I
always talk about in our own backyard, something delicious for
you to try out. And one thing I did want
(08:46):
to say about the Las Vegas segment that we had
last hour talking about that a little bit is if
you have followed along with me and I talked about
it last week, but Universal Horror Unleashed is opening next
week in Las Vegas, and that is part of the
new hoped re emergence of not family friendly activities. But
this is at Area fifteen, which is across the freeway
(09:09):
from the Strip Las Vegas Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
But it is a really unique offering.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
So four mazes will be there year round, and there's
an opportunity for them to change in and out, but
it's an opportunity for you to go to Vegas and
experience something new. So if you've not been to Area fifteen,
it is Oh, actually that's a buddy of mine. That is,
if you're following us on YouTube right now at mister Mokelly,
you can actually get a little teaser. So they actually
(09:34):
had a friends and family preview or a team member preview.
So that's the building that you'll be seeing on the
west side of the fifteen. You can literally see it
driving up and down the fifteen Freeway. And I can't
even imagine what lighting packages will be there at night,
because if you've ever attended Universal Studios halleen Horn nights
here or at the Orlando Resort, it's like no other.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Obviously, we have scary farm.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
You're gonna hear about all these things here and you'll
get tired of the Halloween world because I'm going to
bring them all to you. In fact, a lot of
smaller things. In fact, I just may have something exciting
coming up. One of the events may be using my
voice as one of the hosts, So that's something to come.
But that's one of those things that they're trying something
new in Las Vegas to try to change things up.
And one last thing before we go to break, I
(10:20):
was in Disneyland Big Shocker yesterday and I actually ran
into Jon Favreau and Catherine Hahn. What not even kidding?
So did you ask him to come on the show?
I may have put in a few notes. I have
video and you can check that out at this Week
of a Nick or Nick Pouli Jochani on Instagram. But
John Favreau signed on. He has been a huge proponent
(10:41):
for Disney Plus and so he is a brand new
series that will be coming out based on Oswald the
Lucky Rabbit. I can give you more details about that.
You can check out my instagram to learn more. But
actually got to meet both Jon Favreau and Catherine Han
which is a really cool experience and literally on mainstream USA.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
So, and I got more things for you to do
in and around the Southland coming up in just a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's late with Mo Kelly k if I am six forty.
We're live on YouTube especially and everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
What's up? What's us?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So, what's up with.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Kelly k if I am six forty? It is later
with mo Kelly. Let's continue with Nick Poliochini and find
out what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Well, we already covered all the fun and excitement that
you've seen and if you want to visit again, and
you can check it out at Nick polio Keanney This
Week of a Nick on Instagram, also YouTube when we
publish the podcast, and then the podcast on your chosen platform.
But let's talk about more what's going on in our
own backyard, especially because most schools are getting ready to
go back in the next couple of weeks, so you
may be looking for some last minute activities. I had
(12:08):
was originally supposed to visit the Orange County Fair a
couple of wednesdays ago. I'll actually be there tomorrow, so
follow along with the fun and excitement and food and
you know, fifteen minute foody and all that on socials,
and I'll have no I did not buy the diapers,
if you know, you know, but I do have them
in my cart, so you know, that could be something
for a future you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Know, fashion shore or whatever.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
But handful of things that I've already talked about are
still going on, believe it or not, all the way
through until this coming weekend. So the Lexus Us Open
Up Surfing and Huntington Beach is still underway. You've still
got an opportunity to check out Pagans and the Masters
and Festal the Arts and Laguna Beach as well as
the Laguna Art Affairs. So they are separate events, but
you can check them out if you've not been to
(12:52):
the Pageant of the Masters. It's absolutely credible where you
take live people and put them into two dimensional or
sometimes statue yeah, depends on the statues or whatever. And
what's kind of cooling art where art comes to life
that is correct look at you with a tagline and
everything I know you have. And the sister station of
KFI Coast one of three point five is also the
(13:13):
home on the radio for all things Patches and the
Masters and Festival of the Arts. But that's something worth
checking out if you're looking for something maybe to get
out of town for You've got Tiki Oasis coming up
in San Diego at the Town and Country Resort, which
is really fun. It's the world's original and largest tiki
cultural event and features music parties and a free art show.
If you're not familiar with the Town and Country Resort,
(13:35):
it's on what's called Hotel Circle off the eight Freeway
in San Diego, and that's pretty much where all the
hotels you can figure it out from the name Hotel
Circle is based. But if you're checking it out on
mister Mokelly on YouTube, getting a little preview of what's
going down at the resort. It's a beautiful place anyway,
and the weather's gonna be a little warm this weekend,
but it's a great opportunity for you to get out. Also,
if you haven't to be heading down to San Diego,
(13:58):
you've got the All Industry Cruise it's eighties and nineties
and y two k a themed cruise party from Hornblower
that will be happening in San Diego. And also you've
got the Tulavista Lemon Festival, which is coming up not
this weekend but next week. And then also you've got
Delmar Races going on all week long into the weekend.
(14:18):
If you're not familiar with the Delmar Race track, that's
where you can catch the San Diego County Fair. But
it's also right on the water. It's a lot of fun.
It's really really beautiful to check out. Yeah, Also in
San Clemente coming up this weekend, So back to Orange County.
You've got the seventieth Fiesta Music Festival, day long music
festival with a dozen acts, through stages, food, family, and activities,
you name it. And then also if you've not done
(14:39):
it before, the Rose Ball Flea Market is at the
in Pasadena this weekend and it comes once a month.
It's a great opportunity for you to get some really
cool things if you're a collector for maybe vintage things
or maybe Disney or any of those. It's a really
fun place to check out. And then also if you
were interested in heading out of town, they've got the
(15:00):
Big Bear Lake Concert Series happening up in Big Bear
at the Village, which is really nice, especially because the
weather will.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Be cooler up there. Sounds like great fun. Thank you.
This has been great fun. It's been a great evening.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
It has been absolutely incredible and always a true pleasure
to be a part of.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Later with Mokelly here on KFI. Some of it was
unintentional and a train wreck.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
It was. It was, And if you have seen me
on certain and some unusual poses and sweating as I'm
running around the studio and making sure that we're well
taken care of. But it's so much fun to have
this experience where you can actually see what's going on
behind the scenes and it's exclusive.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Here to later with Mo Kelly on KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh, there were some other funny things, and Mark was
doing the news and oh yeah, you know, try to
go to traffic. There was no traffic, and then there
was no stepan to get beyond traffic.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It was just a comedy of errors. Yeah, we love it.
We're all amateurs here. We don't know what we're doing,
but we still have a good time doing it. No,
we do. It's even better than AI.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh would let's just talk about AI next when we
come back, Mark.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Not particularly? What would you like to talk about my data?
You want some more nuggies?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, I'll take I'll just be quiet and eat back
here people, there's more nuggies, yes, stuff, and you can
come in. There's yeah though well there were I don't
know about that.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You can there's still some of the Fuego sandwich left. Wow.
All right, the beggar is a chooser, right exactly?

(17:32):
you subscribe, you like, and you share.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
That's how you make it grow. Oh and mo, we're about.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
To be live on zoom because you know how, we
have lots of folks who are who we want to
have on the show, but maybe they're not on the
West Coast and Jackie Ray who's in Long Beach. You
can have joints. We're trying to get stuff on zoom.
Daniel is supposed to be doing a live zoom test.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Stand behind Twiller. Yeah, there we goes, then the camera
will follow. Look good, there we go.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Okay, Well look that was an unincorporated voice that I
just wanted to be known that that Daniel is supposed
to be doing the zoom test. I don't know where
we're at with the zoom Daniel.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Hey there's Daniel. Are you on zoom right now? No? No,
oh okay, so you're on zoom. We just can't hear you. Yeah,
we're still working it out there. We're still working so
we're working out. This is a show in progress.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
So what you're seeing is Daniel testing out the zoom.
But that camera looks good, So we can get someone
like that. That'll be awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yep, yeah, that does look Really they could join the
show anywhere at any time. Yes, won't be Eddie Murphy though. Anyhow,
it was not a shot fire. That was just a
statement of fact.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Still waiting.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, they had every opportunity to come on. I guess
they don't want to come on. Oh, I'm not bitter.
I'm not anyhow, Mark Runner. This is specifically for you.
We talk about AI, we talk about robotics and the
convergence of them, how they will be erasing jobs, and
it's happening in real time. This is not abstract, this
(19:06):
is not hypothetical. This is real and it's happening right now.
Here's another example. Sean Hilton. He's the senior director of
turf and Grounds for the LA Galaxy and Dignity Health
Sports Park. He had twenty six full size practice fields,
two game fields, and a warm up pitch as in
(19:27):
like soccer pitch to line ahead of last winter's Coachella
Valley Soccer tournament. He had fewer than five days to
do it. So what he did he bypassed the human
element and gave the job to a couple of robots,
just two, who were able to square out and paint
each field in about one fourth the time that humans
(19:52):
would have taken and it cost a hell of a
lot less, that's for sure. Without the robots, according to
the La Times, the largest preseason professional soccer event in
the country would have been a lot smaller in scope,
but thanks to the robots and the AI they got
the job done in one fourth of the time.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Ooh, high fives. I didn't say that you were going
to like it. I didn't say that you're going to
approve of it.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I'm just giving you an example of the efficacy and
the place that it's going to have as far as
doing jobs in society that humans either can't do, won't do,
or it's unaffordable to have.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Humans to do.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
They're gonna make it, replace everybody they possibly can, and
then realize a little at a time, just like those
doughge fools, that they messed it up, that it's not
what anybody wants. It only works some of the time,
and the rest of the time it's a huge disaster
whose main purpose is just to make money for a
really small number of people, no matter how much it
(20:55):
screws everybody else.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The problem with your analogy, since you mentioned dose as
an example, DOZ was an outside entity making wholesale cuts
with absolutely no mind or knowledge of the intricacies of
the businesses or agencies in which it was making cuts.
They had no idea what they were doing, correct, But
when you have someone who is actually in the company,
(21:18):
or in this case, you have someone who is responsible
for making the decision to paint the lines and knows
exactly what he needs to get the job done, and
he makes an informed decision about how he can do
it for less, or do it quicker or do it better.
Then that's something completely different. It's not one size fits all.
Do you think all the decisions are informed decisions or mode?
(21:39):
Do you think it's just being applied everywhere it possibly
can be and will sort out the damage later.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Well, it's varying levels, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I'm quite sure in media, including radio and television, the
higher ups are actively considering ways in which they can
replace us and be able to do our jobs for
less money or no money. We work radio, and a
lot of it has to do with syndication. A lot
of people lose jobs when they're syndication.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
What's been going on for decades.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
But I think the people way up have done enough
marketing research to know that listeners don't want to listen
to an AI. They want to listen to a human
being that they have a connection with.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And I agree the technology is not quite there yet.
It still sounds very cold and clinical and cannot do
what humans do at this point.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But if we revisit this conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
In three or four years, we may be having a
different conversation because slowly, but surely, they are creeping into
various media jobs. They are news announcers. In some markets.
There are places where they're using AI instead of actual
DJs for music. Real people have lent their lent their
(22:48):
voices to be used for AI creations of their DJ persona.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, nobody wants it.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
There's a limited there's a limited subset of areas where
it's efficient and it helps. But the rest is just garbage.
It's slop, and it's going to be rejected wholesale by people.
People do not want to listen, watch, or read any
of that stuff. I believe that it's like junk food.
In other words, it may not be healthy for you,
but there is a market and place for it, and
(23:16):
people will purchase it if they believe that it's less
expensive than let's say, a five star restaurant. Do you
find yourself mo thinking that you'd be really at home
in Vhy, France during World War Two?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
No? No, not at all?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
No, okay, all right, there are just some things that
I wouldn't have felt. I wouldn't have felt at home
in America in World War two. Ah, I see, okay,
all right, you couldn't even drink out of the same water fountain.
I think we're talking about two different things here. You're
welcoming our robot overlords in the same way. I imagine
the French pretty much folded for the Nazis.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's quite nefarious in that way. No, No, I don't
think so. Well, we'll see when they replace both of us. Yes,
But the difference is I'm coming to live with you
by the way.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You know you can. You want to go to my
house for.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
A damn party, I will program it into ways and
I'll find your house.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You know, ways uses ai Oh no, what will we do?
Such a hypocrite?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I hate until I have to use it. Like I said,
there's a subset of things where it's useful and doesn't
destroy everybody. Maybe that's one of them. We might find
out later that waves gives you cancer. I don't know.
Get off my.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Back, man, go eat some nuggies.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I tried, ka if I am six forty, were gonna
check in with George Norri when we come back and
find out what's happening on his show? And then I'll
have my final thought and it has to do with
the moon.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
k if I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
K if I Am six forty. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Coming up in
just a few moments will be the George Nori with
Coast to Coast AM and he joins me right now, George,
how are you doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Great Moe? You had to get a drum roll for
that announcement.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Well, I should get a check, actually, but you know
we'll settle with a drum roll.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I can't afford this.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
We're talking about the Martians for the first couple hours,
and then later on how to manifest things that you
want in your life.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Like a check, keep pushing, just beat me down left
the right by George.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, love that man. And before we go, I tease
that my final thought would have to do with the moon. Well,
here we go, and you may enjoy this mark because
there's a little bit of a sci fi crossover.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
I like how you write these things specifically with me
and mind I do I think about you all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
NASA aims to beat China and Russia and a race
to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
It's not exactly the space race of the sixties, but.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
In the way it's being framed, that's what NASA would
have us believe.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
In a way, it's like life imitating art.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
In the sci fi show Space nineteen ninety nine with
Martin Landau, it tells the story of a moon base
where a nuclear bomb detonates and pushes the whole last
Moon out of orbit orbit into deep space. That's a
great theme song. If I have time, I'll play it later.
But I digress. You remember that show, Mark very well.
It's Jerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson. It was meant to
(26:30):
be a continuation of UFO.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
That is true. Look at you, it's your cinophile self.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is also serving as NASA's
acting administrator and formerly part of the Real World on
MTV and wholly unqualified for the job as NASA administrator,
warned us today that China and Russia are both aiming
to deploy a nuclear reactor of their own by the
bid twenty thirties, and it's pronounced nuke clear not nuclear.
(27:02):
Just want to throw that out there. Anyhow, this is
a real estate deal by a different name. He who
builds their nuclear reactor first gets to claim a sizable
portion of moonland around it as a quote unquote keep
out zone. It's a type of planning the flag in
a Doctor Evil sort of way.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
You remember Doctor Evil? You remember what he did on
the moon? Oh you don't. Well, listen to this.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Ladies and gentlemen. We're about to begin phase two of
our evil project.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Where is it phase?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I don't know phases?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Anyways, this is.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
The phase in which we put a giant laser on
the Moon. As you know, the Moon rotates around the
Earth like Sarah. When the Moon reaches its appropriate lunar alignment,
it will destroy Washington, DC. You see, I've turned the
Moon into what I like to call a death star.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
What Nah, nothing, Darth?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What did you call me?
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Nothing? Ridhoff bless you. Anyways.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
The key to this plan is the giant laser. It
was invented by the noted Cambridge physicist doctor Parsons. Therefore
we shall call it the Alan Parsons Project.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
That never gets old.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
But according to Sean Duffy, NASA should be ready to
launch a small Air quotes nuclear power plant a midy
three mile island to the Moon by late twenty twenty
nine or twenty thirty. The specs are that the reactor
should be able to generate a hunch of kilowatts of electricity.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
At a minimum.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
In Layman's terms, such output could power about eighty homes. No,
I don't think we're about to build Trump Tower Luna,
but that's just a power reference point. On one hand,
I get the national need to beat or at least
keep pace with the other superpowers as it relates to
colonizing the Moon. But what I don't get, and the
point of this final thought tonight, is why aren't we
(29:02):
as determined to beat at least China right here on Earth,
especially when it comes to infrastructure and technology. China's bullet
train network, one of the most extensive in the world,
features high speed rail lines connecting major cities and regions
across the country, and it's a big ass country. America's
bullet train network, well, it doesn't exist, not one train,
(29:26):
not one car, not one station, not one track. And
that's seeing nothing of our present crumbling infrastructure. And for
all the supposed outrage over the train derailment in East Palestin.
Remember that Ohio twenty twenty three, or the outdated national
airspace system used by air traffic controllers.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Remember that planes falling out of the sky.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
There's no push to beat China there or even have
us enter into the same century.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Russia.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Russia's Russia. Their economy is not even as big as California.
They're not our direct competitor in that sense. But China,
they're kicking our ass in every way, so the Moon.
I get it in theory, but at the continued expense
and detriment of our own technological infrastructure, no, I don't
get that. I remember being told growing up, if you
(30:14):
want to know what's important to you or anyone else,
watch how and where someone spends their money. China, no doubt,
is a dictatorship with a blended economic system. People are
not free, but the country does spend money on its infrastructure.
We spend more and more money on defense and virtually
nothing else. We cut medicaid, we cut education, we cut
(30:34):
cancer research, and just today RFK Junior announced the cut
to five hundred million dollars to vaccine research. Our priorities
are clear, but sure put a nuclear reactor on the
moon one giant leap backward for mankind.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
And speaking of drastic.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Cuts, the Trump administration just proposed slashing NASA's budget by
twenty five percent just three months ago in May, and
that's going to happen. I kid you not how any
of this is supposed to have happened on three quarters
budget and no Senate confirmed administrator is baffling on its
best day, But I guess it makes for a good
SoundBite and press release. I would offer this as I close,
(31:12):
that America being first with the nuclear reactor on the
Moon is not to be confused with America first. If
we're not taking care of America right here in America,
well we will undoubtedly finish last.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
KSPY and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County more
stimulating
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Six FORTYFIM six forty with Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app,
and live on YouTube with the video simulcast. It's time
to find out what the hell is going on with
Nick Poliochini. Nick, you've been doing too much all night time.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I was gonna say, give me two seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
From the beginning of the show. You're bringing in food.
We've been eaten and imbibing all night long.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
It's been and I have a mouthful of food, and
I'm gonna tell you I was We got a little
bit of some and something. Tonight has been great. The
energy for Tuesday Night has been phenomenal. If you had
not seen what we have been doing, you have to
check out the podcast. You have to check out YouTube
when we get that published. But I want to kind
(00:48):
of give you a little bit of behind the scenes
and a rundown on all the things that we were
eating today so that you can go out and enjoy
them yourself. So we actually trying two different meals that
are available at your nearest Wendy's right now. One'll be
leaving very soon. It doesn't have an official end date,
but it will be sooner than later. And Tuala has
had this, and now we've had our guest who has
(01:10):
just here had this and we've all tasted it. But
the fuego meal, Takis Fuego meal is available. It started
back on the twentieth of June and it will stay
as long as possible. But what it is is if
you ever think about looking at social media and you
see a lot of influencers that maybe try some fun
mashups or something of that effect. And it's funny because
(01:31):
Ed Garrigus, who we've talked about, a front of the
show and a huge supporter. Specifically, he and I had
talked about how great it was to get one of
the baked potatoes from Wendy's and go to the store
and get takis and crunch them up and smash them
on top of it. So you get the fully dressed
potato with the sober cream and the chives and the
cheese and the bacon, and then you top it with
the takis delicious.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Well. Coincidentally, little did.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
We know that out of Ohio, which is home office
for Wendy, as they were putting together at Taki's promotion,
so you can still get this, and what comes with
it is a Taki's Fuego chicken sandwich, which is wonderful
on its own if you like the Windies chicken sandwiches themselves,
but then it comes topped with a special cheese sauce
and then also crumbled up takis, so you've got that
(02:13):
whole concept. Also you've gotten if you're looking at a
following along with us on YouTube at mister mom Kelly,
you have fuego fries, which is there we go looking
good oat this way ye delicious and literally it is
if you are now this is funny with Carnicia, who
is from no Orlins. Specifically, when you get fresh begnets
(02:36):
in Nolins, if you go to Rop Brennan's and Bress,
if you go to Caffe Damon's or whatever, is there
something else, Carnicia, someplace else that's good.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, just Caffe Dumont.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Okay so, which I love. And if you've been they
also have chickory coffee. It's delicious. It's a whole different
ball game. But they give you a bag with fresh
hot out of the fryer begnets and then it's full
of powdered sugar and then you shake the bag, you're yourself, Well,
what Wendy's has done is done the same thing, and
they literally gave you a bag and you can hear
this is your ASMR of food, but it's literally and
(03:09):
I'll try my best to show it to the camera,
but you can see it's got the u Taki's dust
in there. So you're able to have Taki's French fries,
which are incredible. And then you were able to also
get and we tried two different drinks that were special,
the lemonade Fresh lemonade with mango and pineapple. And then
also Sprite is the partner for the meal and so
(03:31):
we had Sprite zero with pina or pineapple, so that
was delicious. Anyway, those are two of the meals. You
saw us on YouTube at mister Mokelly, you heard us
talk about it. You may have seen it on Instagram
or on Facebook, but that was what started it all.
But what launched on Monday, so yesterday, and actually you
might have been able to catch last Thursday a special
event on social media that happened at a Wendy's in Norwalk.
(03:53):
But Wendy's and Netflix Wednesday, so Netflix's went flex, Netflix's Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
All right, let's recite Ready to go too.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Netflix's Wednesday Season two premieres tomorrow, And so Wendy's and
Netflix's Wednesday collaborated on a Meal of Misfortune. In fact,
Wednesday herself helped to put the meal together. What made
that special and unique is we had and you've heard
what everybody has thought about the Frosties, so you were
(04:25):
able to have different options with it. It specifically comes
with ten nuggets, and it comes with mystery dipping sauces.
And if you're following us on YouTube, mister Mokelly, I'm
trying to there we go. It's not as but the
sauces are not marked in any way, shape or form.
And I know what they are because I have tried
them all and they're delicious, but nowhere to woe grave mistake.
(04:46):
You can't hide hyde, so like hide the like dot,
thank you very much. And then this will sting And
I know that Carnice has had this will sting And
what did you think?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It was pretty good?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Are you talking about this sauce? The sauce yeah, too hot,
no it was. It wasn't too high, No it wasn't.
But it does have a kick right.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yes, yeah, I was gonna say, what did you think
because you've tried the same sauce.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, it was good. It's just the built up too
much heat for me. Okay, but it was good. I
like the flavor. I love how I have like dead
eyes on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
It's like perfect for Wednesday items right now, Like that's
the screen capture right there is like move I'm.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Gay, Wednesday fries, all the things.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Love it for those Wait oh yeah, sorry, sorry, you
have to explain your shirt because people don't watch YouTube.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
So if you are familiar with me and have seen
me on social media, you know that Halloween is a
big part of my life. And a good friend of
my Navette who has backstitch brew Ha out in Pomona.
She does incredible apparel and she does so many things.
So move I'm Gay was a internet meme and you
can find it on YouTube, you can find it on Instagram,
(05:56):
you can find it on TikTok from a few years
ago of some very flamboyant, allegedly homosexual man walking into
a copy room at an office and saying.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Move, I'm gay, Get out of my way. So hilarious.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That's where this came from, but this was actually a
fundraiser that Ivette had done, And so I'm supporting the
move I'm Gay hat and move I'm Gay t shirt
because yes, as we all are familiar, and I've been
with my husband for fourteen years now, we just celebrate
our tenth wedding anniversary. So yeah, but it's funny because
there's a lot of LGBTQ IA plus or Alphabet Mafia
(06:29):
who are huge fans of Netflix and Wednesday specifically the
Apps family, because it's ti in. The tie in is
that that's such a different world specifically that's been created,
that there's ways to relate to the characters, even if
it's not a one for one exchange, even if there's
not queer specific There is in the series, but if
there's not queer specific representation, it's being able to see
(06:51):
yourself as something different or as I always say, the
reason that you hear from me and people and it
could be going in the chat right now, but whatever
I talk about being queer or being gay, because I
could be that green eyed monster that you don't know.
And so if you don't see me and you don't
hear me, and you don't get to know about me
(07:13):
and my life. You're just gonna have whatever the media
has represented or certain interest groups have represented, and so
being here and being a representative is kind of one
of those things. And a lot of the cast members,
specifically from Wednesday on Netflix, are huge supporters of the
Alphabet Mafia, and some of them may or may not
(07:34):
identify as members of the Alphabet Mafia and may be
out or may not be out, and it's none of
my business, none of our business. But because it is
such a love franchise with the Adams family period to
begin with, but then his whole new iteration with youth,
and you were following the story if you're not familiar,
if you did not watch season one of Wednesday on Netflix,
it's about Wednesday Adams, so the daughter from the Adams family,
(07:57):
and it's about her going away to boarding school and
what happens. And that's what's coming up next. So season
two will be in two parts. First part comes out
tomorrow with four episodes, and then the following second part
comes out I believe in September. Yeah, sometime in September.
The final fourth episodes will be coming for the series.
(08:17):
So that's what it was. So it was really fun
and I always love bringing things because as Moe always says,
we have.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So much fun on this show, we really do.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And with that, there's no better place here on KFI,
on the radio, on the iHeartRadio app, on YouTube, on Instagram,
on Facebook, on all the socials to really be able
to express that and be able to share it with you. Plus,
this is something fun that's in art again, like I
always talk about in our own backyard, something delicious for
you to try out. And one thing I did want
(08:46):
to say about the Las Vegas segment that we had
last hour talking about that a little bit is if
you have followed along with me and I talked about
it last week, but Universal Horror Unleashed is opening next
week in Las Vegas, and that is part of the
new hoped re emergence of not family friendly activities. But
this is at Area fifteen, which is across the freeway
(09:09):
from the Strip Las Vegas Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
But it is a really unique offering.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
So four mazes will be there year round, and there's
an opportunity for them to change in and out, but
it's an opportunity for you to go to Vegas and
experience something new. So if you've not been to Area fifteen,
it is Oh, actually that's a buddy of mine. That is,
if you're following us on YouTube right now at mister Mokelly,
you can actually get a little teaser. So they actually
(09:34):
had a friends and family preview or a team member preview.
So that's the building that you'll be seeing on the
west side of the fifteen. You can literally see it
driving up and down the fifteen Freeway. And I can't
even imagine what lighting packages will be there at night,
because if you've ever attended Universal Studios halleen Horn nights
here or at the Orlando Resort, it's like no other.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Obviously, we have scary farm.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
You're gonna hear about all these things here and you'll
get tired of the Halloween world because I'm going to
bring them all to you. In fact, a lot of
smaller things. In fact, I just may have something exciting
coming up. One of the events may be using my
voice as one of the hosts, So that's something to come.
But that's one of those things that they're trying something
new in Las Vegas to try to change things up.
And one last thing before we go to break, I
(10:20):
was in Disneyland Big Shocker yesterday and I actually ran
into Jon Favreau and Catherine Hahn. What not even kidding?
So did you ask him to come on the show?
I may have put in a few notes. I have
video and you can check that out at this Week
of a Nick or Nick Pouli Jochani on Instagram. But
John Favreau signed on. He has been a huge proponent
(10:41):
for Disney Plus and so he is a brand new
series that will be coming out based on Oswald the
Lucky Rabbit. I can give you more details about that.
You can check out my instagram to learn more. But
actually got to meet both Jon Favreau and Catherine Han
which is a really cool experience and literally on mainstream USA.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
So, and I got more things for you to do
in and around the Southland coming up in just a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's late with Mo Kelly k if I am six forty.
We're live on YouTube especially and everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
What's up? What's us?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So, what's up with.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Kelly k if I am six forty? It is later
with mo Kelly. Let's continue with Nick Poliochini and find
out what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Well, we already covered all the fun and excitement that
you've seen and if you want to visit again, and
you can check it out at Nick polio Keanney This
Week of a Nick on Instagram, also YouTube when we
publish the podcast, and then the podcast on your chosen platform.
But let's talk about more what's going on in our
own backyard, especially because most schools are getting ready to
go back in the next couple of weeks, so you
may be looking for some last minute activities. I had
(12:08):
was originally supposed to visit the Orange County Fair a
couple of wednesdays ago. I'll actually be there tomorrow, so
follow along with the fun and excitement and food and
you know, fifteen minute foody and all that on socials,
and I'll have no I did not buy the diapers,
if you know, you know, but I do have them
in my cart, so you know, that could be something
for a future you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Know, fashion shore or whatever.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
But handful of things that I've already talked about are
still going on, believe it or not, all the way
through until this coming weekend. So the Lexus Us Open
Up Surfing and Huntington Beach is still underway. You've still
got an opportunity to check out Pagans and the Masters
and Festal the Arts and Laguna Beach as well as
the Laguna Art Affairs. So they are separate events, but
you can check them out if you've not been to
(12:52):
the Pageant of the Masters. It's absolutely credible where you
take live people and put them into two dimensional or
sometimes statue yeah, depends on the statues or whatever. And
what's kind of cooling art where art comes to life
that is correct look at you with a tagline and
everything I know you have. And the sister station of
KFI Coast one of three point five is also the
(13:13):
home on the radio for all things Patches and the
Masters and Festival of the Arts. But that's something worth
checking out if you're looking for something maybe to get
out of town for You've got Tiki Oasis coming up
in San Diego at the Town and Country Resort, which
is really fun. It's the world's original and largest tiki
cultural event and features music parties and a free art show.
If you're not familiar with the Town and Country Resort,
(13:35):
it's on what's called Hotel Circle off the eight Freeway
in San Diego, and that's pretty much where all the
hotels you can figure it out from the name Hotel
Circle is based. But if you're checking it out on
mister Mokelly on YouTube, getting a little preview of what's
going down at the resort. It's a beautiful place anyway,
and the weather's gonna be a little warm this weekend,
but it's a great opportunity for you to get out. Also,
if you haven't to be heading down to San Diego,
(13:58):
you've got the All Industry Cruise it's eighties and nineties
and y two k a themed cruise party from Hornblower
that will be happening in San Diego. And also you've
got the Tulavista Lemon Festival, which is coming up not
this weekend but next week. And then also you've got
Delmar Races going on all week long into the weekend.
(14:18):
If you're not familiar with the Delmar Race track, that's
where you can catch the San Diego County Fair. But
it's also right on the water. It's a lot of fun.
It's really really beautiful to check out. Yeah, Also in
San Clemente coming up this weekend, So back to Orange County.
You've got the seventieth Fiesta Music Festival, day long music
festival with a dozen acts, through stages, food, family, and activities,
you name it. And then also if you've not done
(14:39):
it before, the Rose Ball Flea Market is at the
in Pasadena this weekend and it comes once a month.
It's a great opportunity for you to get some really
cool things if you're a collector for maybe vintage things
or maybe Disney or any of those. It's a really
fun place to check out. And then also if you
were interested in heading out of town, they've got the
(15:00):
Big Bear Lake Concert Series happening up in Big Bear
at the Village, which is really nice, especially because the
weather will.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Be cooler up there. Sounds like great fun. Thank you.
This has been great fun. It's been a great evening.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
It has been absolutely incredible and always a true pleasure
to be a part of.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Later with Mokelly here on KFI. Some of it was
unintentional and a train wreck.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
It was. It was, And if you have seen me
on certain and some unusual poses and sweating as I'm
running around the studio and making sure that we're well
taken care of. But it's so much fun to have
this experience where you can actually see what's going on
behind the scenes and it's exclusive.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Here to later with Mo Kelly on KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh, there were some other funny things, and Mark was
doing the news and oh yeah, you know, try to
go to traffic. There was no traffic, and then there
was no stepan to get beyond traffic.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It was just a comedy of errors. Yeah, we love it.
We're all amateurs here. We don't know what we're doing,
but we still have a good time doing it. No,
we do. It's even better than AI.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh would let's just talk about AI next when we
come back, Mark.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Not particularly? What would you like to talk about my data?
You want some more nuggies?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, I'll take I'll just be quiet and eat back
here people, there's more nuggies, yes, stuff, and you can
come in. There's yeah though well there were I don't
know about that.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You can there's still some of the Fuego sandwich left. Wow.
All right, the beggar is a chooser, right exactly?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
If I am six forty, We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio
app and YouTube.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
You gotta check out the video simulcast.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Forty KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yes Later with Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And let me just say shout out to Daniel, our
technical director or video technical director, for great job with
our YouTube show. If you haven't checked it out, go
to YouTube. You can do it on You're smart TV.
You can do it on your phone, you can do
it on your desktop. And then you're gonna look up
at mister O'Kelly handle m R M O K E
L L Y. Then I suggest you subscribe because when
(17:12):
you come back, and you will come back, it'll be
very easy to find the show, like and share. In
other words, you can tell a friend, share it on
social media, and you can be part of this growing community.
It's growing by leaps and bounds every single week. But
it's due to you. In other words, when you sign up,
(17:32):
you subscribe, you like, and you share.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
That's how you make it grow. Oh and mo, we're about.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
To be live on zoom because you know how, we
have lots of folks who are who we want to
have on the show, but maybe they're not on the
West Coast and Jackie Ray who's in Long Beach. You
can have joints. We're trying to get stuff on zoom.
Daniel is supposed to be doing a live zoom test.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Stand behind Twiller. Yeah, there we goes, then the camera
will follow. Look good, there we go.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Okay, Well look that was an unincorporated voice that I
just wanted to be known that that Daniel is supposed
to be doing the zoom test. I don't know where
we're at with the zoom Daniel.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Hey there's Daniel. Are you on zoom right now? No? No,
oh okay, so you're on zoom. We just can't hear you. Yeah,
we're still working it out there. We're still working so
we're working out. This is a show in progress.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
So what you're seeing is Daniel testing out the zoom.
But that camera looks good, So we can get someone
like that. That'll be awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yep, yeah, that does look Really they could join the
show anywhere at any time. Yes, won't be Eddie Murphy though. Anyhow,
it was not a shot fire. That was just a
statement of fact.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Still waiting.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, they had every opportunity to come on. I guess
they don't want to come on. Oh, I'm not bitter.
I'm not anyhow, Mark Runner. This is specifically for you.
We talk about AI, we talk about robotics and the
convergence of them, how they will be erasing jobs, and
it's happening in real time. This is not abstract, this
(19:06):
is not hypothetical. This is real and it's happening right now.
Here's another example. Sean Hilton. He's the senior director of
turf and Grounds for the LA Galaxy and Dignity Health
Sports Park. He had twenty six full size practice fields,
two game fields, and a warm up pitch as in
(19:27):
like soccer pitch to line ahead of last winter's Coachella
Valley Soccer tournament. He had fewer than five days to
do it. So what he did he bypassed the human
element and gave the job to a couple of robots,
just two, who were able to square out and paint
each field in about one fourth the time that humans
(19:52):
would have taken and it cost a hell of a
lot less, that's for sure. Without the robots, according to
the La Times, the largest preseason professional soccer event in
the country would have been a lot smaller in scope,
but thanks to the robots and the AI they got
the job done in one fourth of the time.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Ooh, high fives. I didn't say that you were going
to like it. I didn't say that you're going to
approve of it.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I'm just giving you an example of the efficacy and
the place that it's going to have as far as
doing jobs in society that humans either can't do, won't do,
or it's unaffordable to have.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Humans to do.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
They're gonna make it, replace everybody they possibly can, and
then realize a little at a time, just like those
doughge fools, that they messed it up, that it's not
what anybody wants. It only works some of the time,
and the rest of the time it's a huge disaster
whose main purpose is just to make money for a
really small number of people, no matter how much it
(20:55):
screws everybody else.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The problem with your analogy, since you mentioned dose as
an example, DOZ was an outside entity making wholesale cuts
with absolutely no mind or knowledge of the intricacies of
the businesses or agencies in which it was making cuts.
They had no idea what they were doing, correct, But
when you have someone who is actually in the company,
(21:18):
or in this case, you have someone who is responsible
for making the decision to paint the lines and knows
exactly what he needs to get the job done, and
he makes an informed decision about how he can do
it for less, or do it quicker or do it better.
Then that's something completely different. It's not one size fits all.
Do you think all the decisions are informed decisions or mode?
(21:39):
Do you think it's just being applied everywhere it possibly
can be and will sort out the damage later.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Well, it's varying levels, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I'm quite sure in media, including radio and television, the
higher ups are actively considering ways in which they can
replace us and be able to do our jobs for
less money or no money. We work radio, and a
lot of it has to do with syndication. A lot
of people lose jobs when they're syndication.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
What's been going on for decades.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
But I think the people way up have done enough
marketing research to know that listeners don't want to listen
to an AI. They want to listen to a human
being that they have a connection with.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And I agree the technology is not quite there yet.
It still sounds very cold and clinical and cannot do
what humans do at this point.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But if we revisit this conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
In three or four years, we may be having a
different conversation because slowly, but surely, they are creeping into
various media jobs. They are news announcers. In some markets.
There are places where they're using AI instead of actual
DJs for music. Real people have lent their lent their
(22:48):
voices to be used for AI creations of their DJ persona.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, nobody wants it.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
There's a limited there's a limited subset of areas where
it's efficient and it helps. But the rest is just garbage.
It's slop, and it's going to be rejected wholesale by people.
People do not want to listen, watch, or read any
of that stuff. I believe that it's like junk food.
In other words, it may not be healthy for you,
but there is a market and place for it, and
(23:16):
people will purchase it if they believe that it's less
expensive than let's say, a five star restaurant. Do you
find yourself mo thinking that you'd be really at home
in Vhy, France during World War Two?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
No? No, not at all?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
No, okay, all right, there are just some things that
I wouldn't have felt. I wouldn't have felt at home
in America in World War two. Ah, I see, okay,
all right, you couldn't even drink out of the same water fountain.
I think we're talking about two different things here. You're
welcoming our robot overlords in the same way. I imagine
the French pretty much folded for the Nazis.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's quite nefarious in that way. No, No, I don't
think so. Well, we'll see when they replace both of us. Yes,
But the difference is I'm coming to live with you
by the way.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You know you can. You want to go to my
house for.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
A damn party, I will program it into ways and
I'll find your house.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You know, ways uses ai Oh no, what will we do?
Such a hypocrite?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I hate until I have to use it. Like I said,
there's a subset of things where it's useful and doesn't
destroy everybody. Maybe that's one of them. We might find
out later that waves gives you cancer. I don't know.
Get off my.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Back, man, go eat some nuggies.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I tried, ka if I am six forty, were gonna
check in with George Norri when we come back and
find out what's happening on his show? And then I'll
have my final thought and it has to do with
the moon.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
k if I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
K if I Am six forty. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Coming up in
just a few moments will be the George Nori with
Coast to Coast AM and he joins me right now, George,
how are you doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Great Moe? You had to get a drum roll for
that announcement.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Well, I should get a check, actually, but you know
we'll settle with a drum roll.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I can't afford this.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
We're talking about the Martians for the first couple hours,
and then later on how to manifest things that you
want in your life.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Like a check, keep pushing, just beat me down left
the right by George.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, love that man. And before we go, I tease
that my final thought would have to do with the moon. Well,
here we go, and you may enjoy this mark because
there's a little bit of a sci fi crossover.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
I like how you write these things specifically with me
and mind I do I think about you all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
NASA aims to beat China and Russia and a race
to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
It's not exactly the space race of the sixties, but.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
In the way it's being framed, that's what NASA would
have us believe.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
In a way, it's like life imitating art.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
In the sci fi show Space nineteen ninety nine with
Martin Landau, it tells the story of a moon base
where a nuclear bomb detonates and pushes the whole last
Moon out of orbit orbit into deep space. That's a
great theme song. If I have time, I'll play it later.
But I digress. You remember that show, Mark very well.
It's Jerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson. It was meant to
(26:30):
be a continuation of UFO.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
That is true. Look at you, it's your cinophile self.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is also serving as NASA's
acting administrator and formerly part of the Real World on
MTV and wholly unqualified for the job as NASA administrator,
warned us today that China and Russia are both aiming
to deploy a nuclear reactor of their own by the
bid twenty thirties, and it's pronounced nuke clear not nuclear.
(27:02):
Just want to throw that out there. Anyhow, this is
a real estate deal by a different name. He who
builds their nuclear reactor first gets to claim a sizable
portion of moonland around it as a quote unquote keep
out zone. It's a type of planning the flag in
a Doctor Evil sort of way.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
You remember Doctor Evil? You remember what he did on
the moon? Oh you don't. Well, listen to this.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Ladies and gentlemen. We're about to begin phase two of
our evil project.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Where is it phase?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I don't know phases?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Anyways, this is.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
The phase in which we put a giant laser on
the Moon. As you know, the Moon rotates around the
Earth like Sarah. When the Moon reaches its appropriate lunar alignment,
it will destroy Washington, DC. You see, I've turned the
Moon into what I like to call a death star.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
What Nah, nothing, Darth?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What did you call me?
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Nothing? Ridhoff bless you. Anyways.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
The key to this plan is the giant laser. It
was invented by the noted Cambridge physicist doctor Parsons. Therefore
we shall call it the Alan Parsons Project.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
That never gets old.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
But according to Sean Duffy, NASA should be ready to
launch a small Air quotes nuclear power plant a midy
three mile island to the Moon by late twenty twenty
nine or twenty thirty. The specs are that the reactor
should be able to generate a hunch of kilowatts of electricity.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
At a minimum.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
In Layman's terms, such output could power about eighty homes. No,
I don't think we're about to build Trump Tower Luna,
but that's just a power reference point. On one hand,
I get the national need to beat or at least
keep pace with the other superpowers as it relates to
colonizing the Moon. But what I don't get, and the
point of this final thought tonight, is why aren't we
(29:02):
as determined to beat at least China right here on Earth,
especially when it comes to infrastructure and technology. China's bullet
train network, one of the most extensive in the world,
features high speed rail lines connecting major cities and regions
across the country, and it's a big ass country. America's
bullet train network, well, it doesn't exist, not one train,
(29:26):
not one car, not one station, not one track. And
that's seeing nothing of our present crumbling infrastructure. And for
all the supposed outrage over the train derailment in East Palestin.
Remember that Ohio twenty twenty three, or the outdated national
airspace system used by air traffic controllers.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Remember that planes falling out of the sky.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
There's no push to beat China there or even have
us enter into the same century.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Russia.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Russia's Russia. Their economy is not even as big as California.
They're not our direct competitor in that sense. But China,
they're kicking our ass in every way, so the Moon.
I get it in theory, but at the continued expense
and detriment of our own technological infrastructure, no, I don't
get that. I remember being told growing up, if you
(30:14):
want to know what's important to you or anyone else,
watch how and where someone spends their money. China, no doubt,
is a dictatorship with a blended economic system. People are
not free, but the country does spend money on its infrastructure.
We spend more and more money on defense and virtually
nothing else. We cut medicaid, we cut education, we cut
(30:34):
cancer research, and just today RFK Junior announced the cut
to five hundred million dollars to vaccine research. Our priorities
are clear, but sure put a nuclear reactor on the
moon one giant leap backward for mankind.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
And speaking of drastic.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Cuts, the Trump administration just proposed slashing NASA's budget by
twenty five percent just three months ago in May, and
that's going to happen. I kid you not how any
of this is supposed to have happened on three quarters
budget and no Senate confirmed administrator is baffling on its
best day, But I guess it makes for a good
SoundBite and press release. I would offer this as I close,
(31:12):
that America being first with the nuclear reactor on the
Moon is not to be confused with America first. If
we're not taking care of America right here in America,
well we will undoubtedly finish last.
