Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
We're live on YouTube right now and the iHeartRadio app.
Let's find out what's up with Nick Pollokini. He joins
us in the studio and would all things pickle right
about now? I don't know how poorly this is gonna go,
but it's I think it's gonna go great. Okay, that's
my opinion, but you know.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Let's let's reset this.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A couple of weeks ago, we had talked about how
certain restaurants were having pickle stuff added to it. I
didn't quite understand the appeal, but it's a thing.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's a thing.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
So we talked about it, even to the point that
last year at Disneyland, at the Blue Ribbon CornDog cart
at Downtown Disney, they had a pickle that was hollowed
out with a hot dog in it that was a
corn dog like they dipped in corn dog batter.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So it was like all that thing.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
So then you've got Disneyland has knots Berry Farm has
all the theme parks have some former affair, and the
fair has it which is we're going to talk about
tonight because I just opened this past weekend, yep. And
then you've got Popeyes and that was last week. I
went on a wild pickle chase around the San Fernanda Valley.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Unsuccessful.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Unsuccessful, but unfortunately, sir, you're gonna get it alrighty, So
what do you have planned? So what I have planned
is I want to go through the Popeyes stuff that
we talked about before. So Popeyes has several things that
are available, and I've talked to Popeyes directly, so this
is the most interesting thing. They have a spicy pickle
(01:30):
sauce like you would have it like a wings stop,
kind of a you know for wings. So that goes
on both their chicken sandwich or I guess both on
three things. The chicken sandwich, it goes on the boneless
wings that goes on their bone in wings. And if
you are joining us on YouTube, you'll be able to
see it at mister Mokelly right now, I have a
whole glamour shot set up for us.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
There.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
We're going to switch off to just a second. There
we go.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
So that's the sandwich that you're seeing right now, and
then you have the wings that are boneless that I
brought for everybody to try. And what is in those
cops there We'll talk about in a second, because that
is the most interesting thing they have. Pickle lemonade, both
regular just chilled and then frozen as like Margarita.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Kind of gotta see this on YouTube. It's one thing
to describe it, it's another thing to see it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So, and the thing is you're gonna definitely want to
check it out because I'm gonna have everybody that's here
tonight check you try it out and give all you
last time I.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Check your name on the show, so you can try
before any of the rest of us do.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Now, the coolest part about this is that I want
to go and if you're joining us on YouTube again
at mister Mokelly, you will see two additional things that
are happening. You'll see some sandwiches, you'll see some pickles,
and you will see some popcorns.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
So I and this pickle popcorn. This is the joy
of radio.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
So last week, when we were completely unsuccessful of being
able to pull in the pickle flavored Pervade goodies from Popeyes,
I had a couple of different businesses in Long Beach
and the Outh Bay reach out to me. So the
one first one is popin Flavors, which is the popcorn,
and they have three pickle flavored popcorns.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I love all these alliterations. It's pickle flavored popcorn.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Of all the times that I need a pop it is.
It is absolutely so the most popular flavor that popin
Flavors in Long Beach has and they will be opening
a location in Marino Valley coming up next month.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So that's very exciting.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
So if you're listening to us in the La County
area or in the Inland Empire, you'll be able to
try them. But the most popular flavor that they are
sold out of so is the spicy dill pickle. And
the most popular sweet and savory flavor, which is funny. So, Danie,
if I can get the camera back, oh I am here. Okay, good,
We're good. So the most popular flavor that they have
(03:38):
otherwise for sweet is the butter salted caramel. So I'm
trying to there we go right there, forget that I
have to go left and right. See all the things
we forget in radio that we don't, so this is that.
And then just for mister mo Kelly as you are
well aware if you're a regular listener to the show,
they have a cookies and cream flavor, so that is
just form, so that is yours if you choose to
(04:00):
share with us, it's great. Probably the thing that's funny
is that this pickle craze, I know, we're well aware
not to be shady all tea, so you are able
to try these things. But then also there's sandwiches there,
and those are going to be a peanut butter and
pickle sandwich, which is bread and butter, pickles outside horrible
(04:22):
at Dilly's in Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Peanut butter and pickle sandwich, sir, and it is delicious.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
It is the most unique savory combo you've ever had,
you go neil see. And then also they're popular ham
and cheese with pickles, and then they have a couple
of the regular pickles, and then they have their whole
assortment of pickles that they make in house at Dilly's. Again,
if you are not following mister Mokelly on YouTube and
not watching it, you are missing out all of this
(04:48):
because this is definitely one of those moments, especially because
I'm going to have mo unfortunate for him, try the
pickle lemonade. So you have a little shot glass in
front of you, sir, so here's to you Chin Chin saloon.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And now this is okay. It's just pickle flavored lemonade, lemonade.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
It's homemade lemonade, fresh made lemonade with lemons, water and sugar,
and then they add pickle brine to it. So they
made it fresh. They made it for fresh about two
and a half hours ago, just for us.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So here we go.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's sweeter than I expected. I thought it was gonna
be more of a tart correct and it doesn't. The
lemon doesn't come through its strongly. It definitely gives you
the bread and butter, the sweeter pickle flavor.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
If you didn't tell me that there was pickle brine
in it, I don't think I would have perceived it right.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
And that's what I'm saying. And it's really refreshing. And
here's the thing that we were talking about off air
as well. The unique thing around pickles is the brine itself,
because of the high salt content, is a natural or
a more natural electrolyte. So if you're eating pickles and
you're eat drinking the Brian in this way, you're getting
some of the benefits, not all the chemical benefits and
everything else of powerade or a gatorade. But this is
(05:55):
the same electrolyte concept that you would get from doing
a race or any of those sporting goods.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But like you got sodium and gatorade.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So it's funny, like this is a much more interesting
and more natural way to consume electrolytes. So I encourage
those who are marathoners or whatever to uh maybe consider
swapping out your gatorade and your parade for a little
bit of lemonade with pickle juice. So but I think
the funny part is pickles have been a big part
of both sweet and savory culture for years, including the
fact and I know a lot of you probably are
(06:25):
familiar with a pickleback. So it's a chaser chaser for
a shot of liquor. Oh there we go, Sam with.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Oh yeah, no, you go over to a bar for
people who have had a little bit too much a drink.
You were talking about electrolytes, That right, there is a
great way to rehydrate. A lot of bars will have
pickle juice as a shot.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I've never heard that mogular shot of liquor, and then
you were a chaser would be a shot of the pickles.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
So okay, so I have my Jack neat.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yes, which granted, but here's the problem. If you're gonna
have your jack that you would put in coke because
you and I are not cheap drums, correct, we both
have this He's refined palates when it comes to liquor.
So that's what I'm saying that please don't don't ruin
it with pickles. Okay's gonna go. If we're gonna go
and get a jack and coke and you're just getting
straight old school Jack Daniels, that's the blend.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's what we're talking about, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
So if we're talking about one or two fingers of
the good stuff, you know, no, if we're talking about
the you know, single barrel or any of that body
completely yeah, Jack, you're right, none of that, I mean,
unless you're really into the pickle thing. But if you're
going to finding a way to cut that really strong
burn of Jack Daniels, like burn, I mean, who doesn't,
I mean both grows hair on your chest and burns
(07:33):
are right off like that's always been my thing. So
but yeah, so that's kind of it. So we have
all these things. Now we will be trying these on
the break. Mark Ronner, We're.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Not going to do it. You can do it now.
You have to do it live. You're the hole.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You can turn over your right shoulder and you can
take any of the items you'd like.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
All right, So during the break we'll get it lined up.
Oh look at this now, and now he's backing out.
You hear this, right, I'm gonna do it on air.
The whole point is so everyone can happen, right exactly.
But the thing is, we're gonna have Sam Z, We're
gonna have Mark Ronner. I have important news. You do
not look, you can do.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
The news, but then on the other side of the news,
you can bring your half black, half white ass in here.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'm quite busy in here. I can't. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
That's not how this show is. I don't know what
you gotta think about it. I didn't bring chip.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Lan's this time. It's not like he can rs VP
regret something. This is not its not that thing. So

This is delicious.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Oh see yeah, And I hate to say this, but
Toola has been my partner in crime this whole time.
He has already tried everything. So with the exception of
the new two small businesses from Popping Flavors and from
Dilly's Lung Beach.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
The pickle popcorn, yes, not my favorite. It tastes and
I think it's probably because of the pickle. It tastes salty,
and I don't have any salt in my food. So
it's going to be here's your ASMR.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Popcorn. I want to be more sensitive to salty.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Okay, So I'm this dirty just like it. The dirty
dell is delicious. I'm here for this pop Is that
what I have? The dirty deal? They're both. You have
dirty Dell on one side that has the speckles on it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Oh, the dirty dell. The other one on the right
is gonna be your creamy cucumber dell. Right, I know
this is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is what we do. It's all smacking in people's ears.
It's so disrespectful.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
People pay money for ASMR Richard just chewing their ear, choking.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh, this creamy cucumber dell is lovely creamy cucumber. Is
this good? It's really nice.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It is reminiscent of sour cream and onion without onion.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Can you perform the Himlin on?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I'm going Crew Mark water here, I have water. This
is water unopened. You couldn't have that, or do another
shot of pickle juice whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's gonna work. That's fine. This is amazing. Okay, as
I'm spinning.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
No, there's a little bit of pepper pepper that got
me and it hit my throat the wrong way. So
the pepper and the pop cup, that's good. What is
most say?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Live radio? Okay, so real quick, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
This is no So this is a boneless chicken from
Popeyees with the spicy dill sauce like sauce and toss.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
All right, Okay, that crunch. I don't know if you
got that crunch, but this tastes like chicken and pickle.
That's the way I can describe it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
But it's like I got a chicken sandwich and then
put a pickle on it. Got that spice on the right. Yeah,
it's spicy. I have to drink this beer because there's
not run onto the beer segment.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Ye hold on, okay, and then for those that are
playing along at home, I think this is my camera now, Yes,
that is bread and butter, pickles and peanut butter from
Dilly's Sandwiches and Long That looks.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, it does. Bring me the knife. It may taste great.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Just that's ham and cheese. So if you want to
try that one, or do you want to try this one? Here,
try this one? You eat this one?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
This is thank you all for tuning in too, mister
Mokelly on YouTube as well as KFI AM six forty
more stimulating top you're tuning in to later low Kelly
who has a mouthful of.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Boneus sween right now, don't bother me. We're gonna be
real busy.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
But okay, so now we're eating homemade bread and butter,
pickles with peanut butter on Pullman bread from Dilly's Sandwiches
and Long Beach.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
It's the sheer amount of pickles you're biting into right now,
that's horrifying.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
More pickles than sandwich. You're absolutely correct. What I have
a feeling they may have been generous with their pickles. Okay,
all right, because I've had this before. The Popeye's chicken
pickles are or hot, is right.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
But it's it's not something that you would think.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
You said, peanut butter, peanut butter, peanut butter, crunchy peanut
butter and pickles and bread and butter pickles specifically, So
they're representing the jam side of things.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So they're gonna give you the sweet against the salty. Okay,
you can't taste the pickles. Taste I'm eating a peanut
butter and jelly salad. They just eat a peanut butter
and jelly salici. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I'm talking with a twenty years in radio. I've never
done this. I you're remembering back to the electrolyte idea.
So like this is a healthier version of the jam.
If you want, now this is something that I would
not recommend. Do not eat the pickled chicken and then
go back to the popcorn. Those those tastes, okay, they
(15:16):
definitely don't do your your cookies and cream. So any no, no,
no no. So we have finally made it happen pickle
Poalooza with Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen. So thank you to the
one off of San Fernanda Road who actually had it,
cous so thank you. Shout out to them in Burbank.
Also huge shout out to the team at Pop and
Flavors on huge shout out.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I love that. Yeah you know that other host whatever,
other host.
Speaker 4 (15:41):

Beach currently on Atlantic in the Big stein Olds area.
They are opening a new shop in Rhina Valley coming
up next month. And then you also have Dilly's which
if anybody wants just old school pickles, they're over there.
Dillies has fresh made pickles, pickled tomatoes, they do pickle peppers,
they do a whole nine yards.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's delicious.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
So that has been an at thirty minutes of pickles
that I'd never expected.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Here on later with Mo Kelly. So now we get
to wash it down with beer.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Now we get to wash it down with beer, and
you'll have to you'll have to fight out all the

Speaker 2 (16:32):
He's not he's just not going to try anything. I
gave them to you. I tried a couple of things. Okay,
they talk to me.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
The pickle chicken nugget thing wasn't offensive? What's all right? Okay,
that's Popeye, So good to know that pop isn't offensive. Yeah,
I mean, like, let's say you you're wandering past the
Popeyes after a night of drinking and serious drug abuse.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Uh, you know it'll get you. It's okay. That is
oddly specific. Yeah, uh, the speaking from experience.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
The pickle the pickle popcorn? Not sure about that? Not sure?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
This is like the matrix the one wasilis are without?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I couldn't tell the difference, could you? Yes? I could?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, one was on in your studio, So you have
no idea what the pepper speckles are not?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I know I look better this way. Well, YouTube can't
be wrong.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Uh. The popcorn, I'm not sure what kind of mood
I would have to be in to ever intentionally order, buy,
or eat that.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's a little.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Nasty, not not as nasty as that but like, let's
let's say you were hitting a vate pen real hard.
Maybe then hypotic pathetically No, not hypothetically, uh no, not
crazy about the popcorn. The chicken though passable if like say,
(17:51):
you hadn't eaten.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
For three four days, Sam, really, Sam, I have no complaints.
Speaker 2 (17:56):

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Oh no, I'm in ok I have Dixie cups from
the Pickle Juice so that'll help too.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, let's wash it down.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You're listening to Later with Moke Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
KFI. Mister mo Kelly here.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube,
and the Poliochinni is still passing out pickle lemonade to everyone.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, we're moving on a beer now. No, we're moving
on to beer.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Okay, you sure because it's the same cup, so I
don't know if it's different I.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Know, but you're gonna bartend this one as opposed to
be good the last one.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
They're just say, well, why are you talking about beer? Well,
California beers were among the best in the world thanks
to the twenty twenty five World Beer Cup, which was
organized by the not for profit Brewers Association. It bills
itself as the Olympics of Beer, and the competition was
held over fourteen sessions spanning seven days, with two hundred
(19:47):
and fifty six judges from thirty seven different countries, and
winners were announced May first. At the end of the
judging period, three hundred and forty nine awards were given
out to beer in various categories. Among them, six breweries
were in the Greater LA Area, three in Orange and
three in La County and received the prestigious Gold Awards
(20:11):
for their beers. Anaheim based Golden Road Brewing one for
its mango cart in the fruit wheat beer category. I
didn't know there were so many types of beer.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Really briefly, the mango cart non alcoholic because I don't drink,
is incredible. It has all the trappings of that mango
cart that you just described. Non alcoholic fantastic. It's one
of the few fruit flavored kind of vice beers. It's
so good, especially for somebody who I drank and don't
I haven't had alcohol alcohol since twenty seventeen. It's amazing.
(20:47):
It's to the point where it's like, are you sure
it's interesting to me?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
If only because you have this cottage industry of non
alcoholic beer, which is grown by.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Leaps and bounds.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
In the past few years, there's a growing clientele which
are seeking that out. Specifically, you have Anaheim Brewery Brewery X,
which got gold for Super Slap in the American Style
India pale Ale category. Orange Counties Everywhere Brewery was awarded
(21:18):
gold for Shifted Visions in the Juicy or Hazy India
pale Ale category, and from La Arts District Brewing Company
earned top honors for through the Roof in its International
pale Al category. Claremont Craft's Ales won gold in Experimental
India pale Ale Pepper and Peaches, and San Fernando Brewing
(21:41):
Company took gold for Doctors Sleep in the wood and
Barrel aged Beer category, respectively. Seventy six of beers were
brewed in the state of California, of the winners representing
fifty five unique breweries. I had no idea that the
industry was so large, diverse, and dynamic as across so
(22:04):
many different Southern California breweries.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
I think so many of them started out in backyards
in certain places, truly, so I think that is why
for at least us, because the challenge is other place
around the country you can't brew things up because the
temperature changes in your garage is easily so us with
our you know climate year round for the most part,
you're able to have those untouched batches and small you
know amounts, and really being able to in any industrial
(22:29):
area here in Long Beach or Long Beach in the Southland,
I'm partial to along time.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It is a little bit, but yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think that we have a unique opportunity here where
you're able to do things year round, where if you're
trying to do it in your backyard or you're trying
to do it in your garage elsewhere around the country
not as successful.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Sam, we have limited time.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, and we got one beer that we're all going
to get drunk on.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, one beer. We're sharing this. We would have passed
it around. What do we have right now?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
We're drinking one of my brothers beers, tranch Hill's brown
Ale called Who's That Brown? My brother's a big fan
of tribe called quest So yeah, I do a tribute
for them.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Scenario.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
This one was the one from last year that won
the twenty twenty four Great American Beer Festival Gold medal.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So alright, so we're in privileged company.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, this is right, and it's my favorite
beer out of the entire like all of the different
beers that they make, that's my favorite.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Oh you're kind of biased as Oh yeah, all right,
So Nick, gonna give this to you so you can.
I'm gonna play bartender. Yeah, you won't spill it everywhere, no,
I promise. I am the totally tober one. So we're fine.
When I was I can't say growing up because that
would have been inappropriate. When I was younger, I was
(23:45):
not a beer drinker drinker at all, and even now
I'm not like a huge beer drinker. For me, Number one,
it was an acquired taste, and it was a function
of going to college. Going to college, beer was everywhere
at Georgetown University. That was more beer before liquor, and
then liquor took hold of me by the time I
was maybe a sophomore or junior. But beer, I had
(24:05):
to get past the taste, because when I was drinking
when I was eighty or nineteen, it was about the taste.
And beer can be very, very very bitter, and if
you're not accustomed to that taste, you're gonna reject it.
So it took me a while, took me more than
a few parties to get used to beer.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And then when I did, it's like, oh, now I
get it. Now I get it.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But I haven't gotten into the craft beers and the
exotic beers. Typically, I'm more of the foreign beers I
was talking about. Heinikan had a hold of me for
a while, but I've not been a real big fan
of the I'll say, the budwiresers, the miller Lites, and
the cores.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's just never been my thing.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So but in broadening my alcohol horizons, as it were,
this would be an opportunity for me to try something.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
How did Nick.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Polio Keinny leave the damn studio and give everyone else
beer and not me?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
How does that happen? In what were?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We'll send them right back in. It's sitting right there
in front of you. Look for the beverage with the
head on it. Excuse me, watch your mouth. So, okay,
I got some beer, all right, now I'm gonna try it,
Sam again.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Tell me the title. Then it's called Who's that Brown?
Have to say it that way. By the way, you
got to know the sound. It's a American brown ale.
All right.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
This is one of the few jobs I get to
drink on a job. Oh that's like a dessert. No,
it's not, as it's not harsh at at at all.
A lot of people have a hard time with I
pas and things like that. This one is as smooth
as a gets.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
That's like something you can enjoy around the breakfast table
on the weekend with the family.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yes, breakfast table. Yeah, what do you have for breakfast?
Pancakes and brown Earl Gray tea?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Okay, not on that, but ham and eggs, yes, I
would absolutely Okay, I mean I didn't try it, but
it smells delicious, so.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
It's it's good. It's good. It's award winning.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Before we get out of here, for my final thought tonight,
I was planning to talk about something different and then
the world happens, news happens, something which kind of just
pops up on your phone and takes you in a
completely different direction. Well, I remember listening to Classic Motown
growing up on the original vinyl. I remember when my
father was telling me about the songwriting prowess of Smokey Robinson.
(26:33):
After listening to the album Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Going to a Go Go, I'm pretty sure it's still
at my mother's house right now, somewhere in that house.
It was originally released in nineteen sixty five, but my
father held on to all of his original motown albums.
But I don't remember a time not being acquainted with
the genius of William Robinson Junior, better known as Smoky
(26:58):
Note I said a quaint note, I said, acquainted with
his genius. Don't ask me about the man. Never met him,
don't know him, couldn't service a character witness or speak
on his two marriages. I can't offer any insight on
his extramarital affairs, including a year long one with Diana Ross.
True story. But because like I say, we don't know
(27:20):
these people. There's publicly available information, but that's not personal
knowledge of I did, though, make mention of his marital
issues because they will be part of a story which
will be told surrounding his behavior, which will be laid
out as part of discovery of discovery in a fifty
million dollar lawsuit filed today here in Los Angeles by
(27:44):
four former housekeepers accusing of smoking Robinson of sexual assault,
allegedly repeatedly raping and abusing some of these women for years.
Robinson's present wife was also named as a defendant in
the lawsuit. The attorney representing the four plaintiffs articulated that
(28:04):
these women are Hispanic women employed as housekeepers earning below
minimum wage. That's one problem, and as low wage workers
in vulnerable positions, they lack the resources or read power
and options to protect themselves. The other implication being that
Robinson's celebrity protected him, but that was previously. The suit
(28:27):
alleges that Robinson assaulted one woman at least twenty three
times between May twenty fourteen and February twenty twenty, often
in places in his home without security cameras, such as
the laundry room. In addition, the suit alleges that he
assaulted another former employee for at least twenty different times
during the twelve years she worked for him, starting back
(28:52):
in twenty twelve. Also, according to the suit, Robinson would
force her allegedly into his bedroom and perform a ritual
of leaving his bathroom naked or nearly naked. Robinson has
been a celebrity for the better part of sixty years.
He has known the world over. There's no doubt he
would have the power in any relationship, personal or professional.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
There's no way to know if Smokey.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Robinson did everything he has been accused of doing. There is, though,
every reasonable way to suss out whether he did some
of these things. The allegations are across multiple women, similar
similar modus operandi over the course of multiple years. And
there's the obvious question as to why Robinson had some
(29:38):
four different housekeepers inside of a decade. Either he and
his wife don't choose well when they hire, or there's
a reason why these housekeepers keep leaving and you have
this turnover.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But see, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
We know their interview process about as well as we
do his personal behavior. Ask me to sing tears of
a clown, I'm your man, want to do it, But
I don't know whether he repeatedly raped four women in
his home out of the view of his internal security
cameras and the internal security cameras. That's also that something
odd will be learning more about. And unless you're one
(30:12):
of the plaintiffs, you don't know any of this either.
This is not how I want to talk about Smokey
Robinson in twenty twenty five. He's eighty five, I think,
and like Bill Cosby, from a fan standpoint, this is
not a line item I would have wanted on his
news obituary whenever that day comes again, from a fan standpoint,
(30:34):
because here's what I mean, the news obituary of Michael
Jackson will forever include his ten criminal indictments, his arrest,
his mugshot, and even his ultimate exoneration. No matter what,
all that will be at any documentary about Michael Jackson's life.
And we can apply that same metric to Bill Cosby,
(30:54):
the same will apply to William Smokey Robinson. No, that
doesn't make me sad, because I care more about justice
than any supposed tainted legacy. But if there is any
validity to these Robinson allegations, there are likely other women.
We've kind of been here before, because again, there are
patterns alleged here, patterns allegedly over years, if not decades.
(31:18):
Not to be sny, but I'm guessing that Robinson has
had more than four housekeepers in his adult life, just guessing,
And this doesn't sound like a rather recent type of
alleged behavior. Multiple things can be true here. Smoking Robinson
can be arguably one of the greatest songwriters of all time,
connected to arguably one of the greatest music labels of
all time in Motown, and also can be a despicable
(31:41):
person personally who may be liable in the repeated rapes
and sexual assault of at least four women. And since
this is not a criminal trial, there's no proof beyond
a reasonable doubt needed, just preponderance of evidence. Whichever side
boasts the majority of evidence in support of their claim,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
There's your winner. It's a much lower standard.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
The jeopardy will not include jail, but it very well
might include fifty million dollars at the sunset of Smokey
Robinson's career, because in the end, we don't know these people.
For KF I am six forty, I'm Moe Kelly.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Your vaccine for Stupidity, Hey f I and the kost
HD two.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Los Angeles, Orange County live everywhere on the Art Radio
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
We're live on YouTube right now and the iHeartRadio app.
Let's find out what's up with Nick Pollokini. He joins
us in the studio and would all things pickle right
about now? I don't know how poorly this is gonna go,
but it's I think it's gonna go great. Okay, that's
my opinion, but you know.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Let's let's reset this.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A couple of weeks ago, we had talked about how
certain restaurants were having pickle stuff added to it. I
didn't quite understand the appeal, but it's a thing.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's a thing.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
So we talked about it, even to the point that
last year at Disneyland, at the Blue Ribbon CornDog cart
at Downtown Disney, they had a pickle that was hollowed
out with a hot dog in it that was a
corn dog like they dipped in corn dog batter.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So it was like all that thing.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
So then you've got Disneyland has knots Berry Farm has
all the theme parks have some former affair, and the
fair has it which is we're going to talk about
tonight because I just opened this past weekend, yep. And
then you've got Popeyes and that was last week. I
went on a wild pickle chase around the San Fernanda Valley.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Unsuccessful.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Unsuccessful, but unfortunately, sir, you're gonna get it alrighty, So
what do you have planned? So what I have planned
is I want to go through the Popeyes stuff that
we talked about before. So Popeyes has several things that
are available, and I've talked to Popeyes directly, so this
is the most interesting thing. They have a spicy pickle
(01:30):
sauce like you would have it like a wings stop,
kind of a you know for wings. So that goes
on both their chicken sandwich or I guess both on
three things. The chicken sandwich, it goes on the boneless
wings that goes on their bone in wings. And if
you are joining us on YouTube, you'll be able to
see it at mister Mokelly right now, I have a
whole glamour shot set up for us.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
There.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
We're going to switch off to just a second. There
we go.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
So that's the sandwich that you're seeing right now, and
then you have the wings that are boneless that I
brought for everybody to try. And what is in those
cops there We'll talk about in a second, because that
is the most interesting thing they have. Pickle lemonade, both
regular just chilled and then frozen as like Margarita.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Kind of gotta see this on YouTube. It's one thing
to describe it, it's another thing to see it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So, and the thing is you're gonna definitely want to
check it out because I'm gonna have everybody that's here
tonight check you try it out and give all you
last time I.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Check your name on the show, so you can try
before any of the rest of us do.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Now, the coolest part about this is that I want
to go and if you're joining us on YouTube again
at mister Mokelly, you will see two additional things that
are happening. You'll see some sandwiches, you'll see some pickles,
and you will see some popcorns.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
So I and this pickle popcorn. This is the joy
of radio.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
So last week, when we were completely unsuccessful of being
able to pull in the pickle flavored Pervade goodies from Popeyes,
I had a couple of different businesses in Long Beach
and the Outh Bay reach out to me. So the
one first one is popin Flavors, which is the popcorn,
and they have three pickle flavored popcorns.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I love all these alliterations. It's pickle flavored popcorn.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Of all the times that I need a pop it is.
It is absolutely so the most popular flavor that popin
Flavors in Long Beach has and they will be opening
a location in Marino Valley coming up next month.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So that's very exciting.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
So if you're listening to us in the La County
area or in the Inland Empire, you'll be able to
try them. But the most popular flavor that they are
sold out of so is the spicy dill pickle. And
the most popular sweet and savory flavor, which is funny. So, Danie,
if I can get the camera back, oh I am here. Okay, good,
We're good. So the most popular flavor that they have
(03:38):
otherwise for sweet is the butter salted caramel. So I'm
trying to there we go right there, forget that I
have to go left and right. See all the things
we forget in radio that we don't, so this is that.
And then just for mister mo Kelly as you are
well aware if you're a regular listener to the show,
they have a cookies and cream flavor, so that is
just form, so that is yours if you choose to
(04:00):
share with us, it's great. Probably the thing that's funny
is that this pickle craze, I know, we're well aware
not to be shady all tea, so you are able
to try these things. But then also there's sandwiches there,
and those are going to be a peanut butter and
pickle sandwich, which is bread and butter, pickles outside horrible
(04:22):
at Dilly's in Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Peanut butter and pickle sandwich, sir, and it is delicious.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
It is the most unique savory combo you've ever had,
you go neil see. And then also they're popular ham
and cheese with pickles, and then they have a couple
of the regular pickles, and then they have their whole
assortment of pickles that they make in house at Dilly's. Again,
if you are not following mister Mokelly on YouTube and
not watching it, you are missing out all of this
(04:48):
because this is definitely one of those moments, especially because
I'm going to have mo unfortunate for him, try the
pickle lemonade. So you have a little shot glass in
front of you, sir, so here's to you Chin Chin saloon.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And now this is okay. It's just pickle flavored lemonade, lemonade.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
It's homemade lemonade, fresh made lemonade with lemons, water and sugar,
and then they add pickle brine to it. So they
made it fresh. They made it for fresh about two
and a half hours ago, just for us.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So here we go.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's sweeter than I expected. I thought it was gonna
be more of a tart correct and it doesn't. The
lemon doesn't come through its strongly. It definitely gives you
the bread and butter, the sweeter pickle flavor.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
If you didn't tell me that there was pickle brine
in it, I don't think I would have perceived it right.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
And that's what I'm saying. And it's really refreshing. And
here's the thing that we were talking about off air
as well. The unique thing around pickles is the brine itself,
because of the high salt content, is a natural or
a more natural electrolyte. So if you're eating pickles and
you're eat drinking the Brian in this way, you're getting
some of the benefits, not all the chemical benefits and
everything else of powerade or a gatorade. But this is
(05:55):
the same electrolyte concept that you would get from doing
a race or any of those sporting goods.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But like you got sodium and gatorade.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So it's funny, like this is a much more interesting
and more natural way to consume electrolytes. So I encourage
those who are marathoners or whatever to uh maybe consider
swapping out your gatorade and your parade for a little
bit of lemonade with pickle juice. So but I think
the funny part is pickles have been a big part
of both sweet and savory culture for years, including the
fact and I know a lot of you probably are
(06:25):
familiar with a pickleback. So it's a chaser chaser for
a shot of liquor. Oh there we go, Sam with.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Oh yeah, no, you go over to a bar for
people who have had a little bit too much a drink.
You were talking about electrolytes, That right, there is a
great way to rehydrate. A lot of bars will have
pickle juice as a shot.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I've never heard that mogular shot of liquor, and then
you were a chaser would be a shot of the pickles.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
So okay, so I have my Jack neat.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yes, which granted, but here's the problem. If you're gonna
have your jack that you would put in coke because
you and I are not cheap drums, correct, we both
have this He's refined palates when it comes to liquor.
So that's what I'm saying that please don't don't ruin
it with pickles. Okay's gonna go. If we're gonna go
and get a jack and coke and you're just getting
straight old school Jack Daniels, that's the blend.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's what we're talking about, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
So if we're talking about one or two fingers of
the good stuff, you know, no, if we're talking about
the you know, single barrel or any of that body
completely yeah, Jack, you're right, none of that, I mean,
unless you're really into the pickle thing. But if you're
going to finding a way to cut that really strong
burn of Jack Daniels, like burn, I mean, who doesn't,
I mean both grows hair on your chest and burns
(07:33):
are right off like that's always been my thing. So
but yeah, so that's kind of it. So we have
all these things. Now we will be trying these on
the break. Mark Ronner, We're.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Not going to do it. You can do it now.
You have to do it live. You're the hole.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You can turn over your right shoulder and you can
take any of the items you'd like.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
All right, So during the break we'll get it lined up.
Oh look at this now, and now he's backing out.
You hear this, right, I'm gonna do it on air.
The whole point is so everyone can happen, right exactly.
But the thing is, we're gonna have Sam Z, We're
gonna have Mark Ronner. I have important news. You do
not look, you can do.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
The news, but then on the other side of the news,
you can bring your half black, half white ass in here.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'm quite busy in here. I can't. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
That's not how this show is. I don't know what
you gotta think about it. I didn't bring chip.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Lan's this time. It's not like he can rs VP
regret something. This is not its not that thing. So
I have urgent news to cover. Okay, let's get to
the urgent breaking news, and they come here. I don't
know anything.

the new two small businesses from Popping Flavors and from
Dilly's Lung Beach.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
The pickle popcorn, yes, not my favorite. It tastes and
I think it's probably because of the pickle. It tastes salty,
and I don't have any salt in my food. So
it's going to be here's your ASMR.

Popcorn. I want to be more sensitive to salty.

I'm spinning.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
No, there's a little bit of pepper pepper that got
me and it hit my throat the wrong way. So
the pepper and the pop cup, that's good. What is
most say?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Live radio? Okay, so real quick, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
This is no So this is a boneless chicken from
Popeyees with the spicy dill sauce like sauce and toss.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
All right, Okay, that crunch. I don't know if you
got that crunch, but this tastes like chicken and pickle.
That's the way I can describe it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
But it's like I got a chicken sandwich and then
put a pickle on it. Got that spice on the right. Yeah,
it's spicy. I have to drink this beer because there's
not run onto the beer segment.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Ye hold on, okay, and then for those that are
playing along at home, I think this is my camera now, Yes,
that is bread and butter, pickles and peanut butter from
Dilly's Sandwiches and Long That looks.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, it does. Bring me the knife. It may taste great.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Just that's ham and cheese. So if you want to
try that one, or do you want to try this one? Here,
try this one? You eat this one?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
This is thank you all for tuning in too, mister
Mokelly on YouTube as well as KFI AM six forty
more stimulating top you're tuning in to later low Kelly
who has a mouthful of.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Boneus sween right now, don't bother me. We're gonna be
real busy.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
But okay, so now we're eating homemade bread and butter,
pickles with peanut butter on Pullman bread from Dilly's Sandwiches
and Long Beach.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
It's the sheer amount of pickles you're biting into right now,
that's horrifying.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
More pickles than sandwich. You're absolutely correct. What I have
a feeling they may have been generous with their pickles. Okay,
all right, because I've had this before. The Popeye's chicken
pickles are or hot, is right.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
But it's it's not something that you would think.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
You said, peanut butter, peanut butter, peanut butter, crunchy peanut
butter and pickles and bread and butter pickles specifically, So
they're representing the jam side of things.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So they're gonna give you the sweet against the salty. Okay,
you can't taste the pickles. Taste I'm eating a peanut
butter and jelly salad. They just eat a peanut butter
and jelly salici. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I'm talking with a twenty years in radio. I've never
done this. I you're remembering back to the electrolyte idea.
So like this is a healthier version of the jam.
If you want, now this is something that I would
not recommend. Do not eat the pickled chicken and then
go back to the popcorn. Those those tastes, okay, they
(15:16):
definitely don't do your your cookies and cream. So any no, no,
no no. So we have finally made it happen pickle
Poalooza with Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen. So thank you to the
one off of San Fernanda Road who actually had it,
cous so thank you. Shout out to them in Burbank.
Also huge shout out to the team at Pop and
Flavors on huge shout out.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's delicious.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
So that has been an at thirty minutes of pickles

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Here on later with Mo Kelly. So now we get
to wash it down with beer.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Now we get to wash it down with beer, and
you'll have to you'll have to fight out all the

Speaker 2 (16:32):
He's not he's just not going to try anything. I
gave them to you. I tried a couple of things. Okay,
they talk to me.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
The pickle chicken nugget thing wasn't offensive? What's all right? Okay,
that's Popeye, So good to know that pop isn't offensive. Yeah,
I mean, like, let's say you you're wandering past the
Popeyes after a night of drinking and serious drug abuse.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Uh, you know it'll get you. It's okay. That is
oddly specific. Yeah, uh, the speaking from experience.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
The pickle the pickle popcorn? Not sure about that? Not sure?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
This is like the matrix the one wasilis are without?

I couldn't tell the difference, could you? Yes? I could?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, one was on in your studio, So you have
no idea what the pepper speckles are not?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I know I look better this way. Well, YouTube can't
be wrong.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Uh. The popcorn, I'm not sure what kind of mood
I would have to be in to ever intentionally order, buy,
or eat that.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's a little.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Nasty, not not as nasty as that but like, let's
let's say you were hitting a vate pen real hard.
Maybe then hypotic pathetically No, not hypothetically, uh no, not
crazy about the popcorn. The chicken though passable if like say,
(17:51):
you hadn't eaten.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
For three four days, Sam, really, Sam, I have no complaints.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Y'all are feeding me.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Radio pression and the other things I wanted to cover

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I don't know if we can legally do this, but
we're gonna find that line. There's no transmitter on site.
We're good, okay.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Oh no, I'm in ok I have Dixie cups from
the Pickle Juice so that'll help too.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, let's wash it down.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You're listening to Later with Moke Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
KFI. Mister mo Kelly here.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube,
and the Poliochinni is still passing out pickle lemonade to everyone.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, we're moving on a beer now. No, we're moving
on to beer.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Okay, you sure because it's the same cup, so I
don't know if it's different I.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Know, but you're gonna bartend this one as opposed to
be good the last one.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
They're just say, well, why are you talking about beer? Well,
California beers were among the best in the world thanks
to the twenty twenty five World Beer Cup, which was
organized by the not for profit Brewers Association. It bills
itself as the Olympics of Beer, and the competition was
held over fourteen sessions spanning seven days, with two hundred
(19:47):
and fifty six judges from thirty seven different countries, and
winners were announced May first. At the end of the
judging period, three hundred and forty nine awards were given
out to beer in various categories. Among them, six breweries
were in the Greater LA Area, three in Orange and
three in La County and received the prestigious Gold Awards
(20:11):
for their beers. Anaheim based Golden Road Brewing one for
its mango cart in the fruit wheat beer category. I
didn't know there were so many types of beer.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Really briefly, the mango cart non alcoholic because I don't drink,
is incredible. It has all the trappings of that mango
cart that you just described. Non alcoholic fantastic. It's one
of the few fruit flavored kind of vice beers. It's
so good, especially for somebody who I drank and don't
I haven't had alcohol alcohol since twenty seventeen. It's amazing.
(20:47):
It's to the point where it's like, are you sure
it's interesting to me?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
If only because you have this cottage industry of non
alcoholic beer, which is grown by.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Leaps and bounds.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
In the past few years, there's a growing clientele which
are seeking that out. Specifically, you have Anaheim Brewery Brewery X,
which got gold for Super Slap in the American Style
India pale Ale category. Orange Counties Everywhere Brewery was awarded
(21:18):
gold for Shifted Visions in the Juicy or Hazy India
pale Ale category, and from La Arts District Brewing Company
earned top honors for through the Roof in its International
pale Al category. Claremont Craft's Ales won gold in Experimental
India pale Ale Pepper and Peaches, and San Fernando Brewing
(21:41):
Company took gold for Doctors Sleep in the wood and
Barrel aged Beer category, respectively. Seventy six of beers were
brewed in the state of California, of the winners representing
fifty five unique breweries. I had no idea that the
industry was so large, diverse, and dynamic as across so
(22:04):
many different Southern California breweries.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
I think so many of them started out in backyards
in certain places, truly, so I think that is why
for at least us, because the challenge is other place
around the country you can't brew things up because the
temperature changes in your garage is easily so us with
our you know climate year round for the most part,
you're able to have those untouched batches and small you
know amounts, and really being able to in any industrial
(22:29):
area here in Long Beach or Long Beach in the Southland,
I'm partial to along time.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It is a little bit, but yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think that we have a unique opportunity here where
you're able to do things year round, where if you're
trying to do it in your backyard or you're trying
to do it in your garage elsewhere around the country
not as successful.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Sam, we have limited time.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, and we got one beer that we're all going
to get drunk on.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, one beer. We're sharing this. We would have passed
it around. What do we have right now?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
We're drinking one of my brothers beers, tranch Hill's brown
Ale called Who's That Brown? My brother's a big fan
of tribe called quest So yeah, I do a tribute
for them.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Scenario.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
This one was the one from last year that won
the twenty twenty four Great American Beer Festival Gold medal.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So alright, so we're in privileged company.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, this is right, and it's my favorite
beer out of the entire like all of the different
beers that they make, that's my favorite.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Oh you're kind of biased as Oh yeah, all right,
So Nick, gonna give this to you so you can.
I'm gonna play bartender. Yeah, you won't spill it everywhere, no,
I promise. I am the totally tober one. So we're fine.
When I was I can't say growing up because that
would have been inappropriate. When I was younger, I was
(23:45):
not a beer drinker drinker at all, and even now
I'm not like a huge beer drinker. For me, Number one,
it was an acquired taste, and it was a function
of going to college. Going to college, beer was everywhere
at Georgetown University. That was more beer before liquor, and
then liquor took hold of me by the time I
was maybe a sophomore or junior. But beer, I had
(24:05):
to get past the taste, because when I was drinking
when I was eighty or nineteen, it was about the taste.
And beer can be very, very very bitter, and if
you're not accustomed to that taste, you're gonna reject it.
So it took me a while, took me more than
a few parties to get used to beer.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And then when I did, it's like, oh, now I
get it. Now I get it.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But I haven't gotten into the craft beers and the
exotic beers. Typically, I'm more of the foreign beers I
was talking about. Heinikan had a hold of me for
a while, but I've not been a real big fan
of the I'll say, the budwiresers, the miller Lites, and
the cores.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's just never been my thing.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So but in broadening my alcohol horizons, as it were,
this would be an opportunity for me to try something.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
How did Nick.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Polio Keinny leave the damn studio and give everyone else
beer and not me?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
How does that happen? In what were?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We'll send them right back in. It's sitting right there
in front of you. Look for the beverage with the
head on it. Excuse me, watch your mouth. So, okay,
I got some beer, all right, now I'm gonna try it,
Sam again.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Tell me the title. Then it's called Who's that Brown?
Have to say it that way. By the way, you
got to know the sound. It's a American brown ale.
All right.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
This is one of the few jobs I get to
drink on a job. Oh that's like a dessert. No,
it's not, as it's not harsh at at at all.
A lot of people have a hard time with I
pas and things like that. This one is as smooth
as a gets.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
That's like something you can enjoy around the breakfast table
on the weekend with the family.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yes, breakfast table. Yeah, what do you have for breakfast?
Pancakes and brown Earl Gray tea?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Okay, not on that, but ham and eggs, yes, I
would absolutely Okay, I mean I didn't try it, but
it smells delicious, so.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
It's it's good. It's good. It's award winning.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Before we get out of here, for my final thought tonight,
I was planning to talk about something different and then
the world happens, news happens, something which kind of just
pops up on your phone and takes you in a
completely different direction. Well, I remember listening to Classic Motown
growing up on the original vinyl. I remember when my
father was telling me about the songwriting prowess of Smokey Robinson.
(26:33):
After listening to the album Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Going to a Go Go, I'm pretty sure it's still
at my mother's house right now, somewhere in that house.
It was originally released in nineteen sixty five, but my
father held on to all of his original motown albums.
But I don't remember a time not being acquainted with
the genius of William Robinson Junior, better known as Smoky
(26:58):
Note I said a quaint note, I said, acquainted with
his genius. Don't ask me about the man. Never met him,
don't know him, couldn't service a character witness or speak
on his two marriages. I can't offer any insight on
his extramarital affairs, including a year long one with Diana Ross.
True story. But because like I say, we don't know
(27:20):
these people. There's publicly available information, but that's not personal
knowledge of I did, though, make mention of his marital
issues because they will be part of a story which
will be told surrounding his behavior, which will be laid
out as part of discovery of discovery in a fifty
million dollar lawsuit filed today here in Los Angeles by
(27:44):
four former housekeepers accusing of smoking Robinson of sexual assault,
allegedly repeatedly raping and abusing some of these women for years.
Robinson's present wife was also named as a defendant in
the lawsuit. The attorney representing the four plaintiffs articulated that
(28:04):
these women are Hispanic women employed as housekeepers earning below
minimum wage. That's one problem, and as low wage workers
in vulnerable positions, they lack the resources or read power
and options to protect themselves. The other implication being that
Robinson's celebrity protected him, but that was previously. The suit
(28:27):
alleges that Robinson assaulted one woman at least twenty three
times between May twenty fourteen and February twenty twenty, often
in places in his home without security cameras, such as
the laundry room. In addition, the suit alleges that he
assaulted another former employee for at least twenty different times
during the twelve years she worked for him, starting back
(28:52):
in twenty twelve. Also, according to the suit, Robinson would
force her allegedly into his bedroom and perform a ritual
of leaving his bathroom naked or nearly naked. Robinson has
been a celebrity for the better part of sixty years.
He has known the world over. There's no doubt he
would have the power in any relationship, personal or professional.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
There's no way to know if Smokey.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Robinson did everything he has been accused of doing. There is, though,
every reasonable way to suss out whether he did some
of these things. The allegations are across multiple women, similar
similar modus operandi over the course of multiple years. And
there's the obvious question as to why Robinson had some
(29:38):
four different housekeepers inside of a decade. Either he and
his wife don't choose well when they hire, or there's
a reason why these housekeepers keep leaving and you have
this turnover.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But see, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
We know their interview process about as well as we
do his personal behavior. Ask me to sing tears of
a clown, I'm your man, want to do it, But
I don't know whether he repeatedly raped four women in
his home out of the view of his internal security
cameras and the internal security cameras. That's also that something
odd will be learning more about. And unless you're one
(30:12):
of the plaintiffs, you don't know any of this either.
This is not how I want to talk about Smokey
Robinson in twenty twenty five. He's eighty five, I think,
and like Bill Cosby, from a fan standpoint, this is
not a line item I would have wanted on his
news obituary whenever that day comes again, from a fan standpoint,
(30:34):
because here's what I mean, the news obituary of Michael
Jackson will forever include his ten criminal indictments, his arrest,
his mugshot, and even his ultimate exoneration. No matter what,
all that will be at any documentary about Michael Jackson's life.
And we can apply that same metric to Bill Cosby,
(30:54):
the same will apply to William Smokey Robinson. No, that
doesn't make me sad, because I care more about justice
than any supposed tainted legacy. But if there is any
validity to these Robinson allegations, there are likely other women.
We've kind of been here before, because again, there are
patterns alleged here, patterns allegedly over years, if not decades.
(31:18):
Not to be sny, but I'm guessing that Robinson has
had more than four housekeepers in his adult life, just guessing,
And this doesn't sound like a rather recent type of
alleged behavior. Multiple things can be true here. Smoking Robinson
can be arguably one of the greatest songwriters of all time,
connected to arguably one of the greatest music labels of
all time in Motown, and also can be a despicable
(31:41):
person personally who may be liable in the repeated rapes
and sexual assault of at least four women. And since
this is not a criminal trial, there's no proof beyond
a reasonable doubt needed, just preponderance of evidence. Whichever side
boasts the majority of evidence in support of their claim,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
There's your winner. It's a much lower standard.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
The jeopardy will not include jail, but it very well
might include fifty million dollars at the sunset of Smokey
Robinson's career, because in the end, we don't know these people.
