WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.599 K f I am sixty. You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand 2 00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:11.800 on the iHeartRadio app. We're live from Chateau Lemo And also not to confuse 3 00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:17.800 you, we are instagram live at Later with Mo Kelly and at Nick Polyokenny. 4 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:21.280 You can see what's going on in the studio at Later with Mo Kelly, 5 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.960 I'm sharing the screen with at Nick Polyochinni. Nick is up at the 6 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.559 park showing the fireworks and it's I can't describe it to you. You just 7 00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.000 have to go see it for yourself. You can hear the fireworks in the 8 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.920 background. I wish they were sound effects, but they're all real. You 9 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.960 can see the fireworks from our view at my house at n at Later with 10 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:50.000 mo Kelly on Instagram and also at Nick Polyokenni. We have a dual Instagram 11 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:55.479 live feed going right now. A bunch of partygoers and attendees just walked up 12 00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:03.799 there, readying themselves for the activity, the spectacle that it is, and 13 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.599 it is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait for us to be able to get 14 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.920 the opportunity to go up there. Every single year I come. I like 15 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.799 to do this three sixty spin where I get to show everyone who doesn't believe, 16 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.280 Like every single angle that you look up there you see all of the 17 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:25.640 shows and all of these amazing hood fireworks. This is what Fourth of July 18 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.200 is literally all about. We have someone who is on the Instagram live asking 19 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.159 are those fireworks legal? I can't tell you. The ones that you see 20 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.000 in the sky, for the most part, are legal. They're coming from 21 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.159 the sanctioned fireworks shows because they started nine o'clock. But there are a lot 22 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.959 of illegal, professional grade fireworks that you're going on right now as well. 23 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:56.680 One thing that always I think makes me the most uneasy is because with all 24 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.599 of the rapid sounds and repeated sounds that we hear, we know for a 25 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.040 fact, okay, let's not kid each other, we know for a fact 26 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:10.240 that some of this mixed in is also gunfire. And that is what I 27 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.719 don't get about here in Los Angeles. Why Angelina's don't just at least look, 28 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.199 if you're gonna be bold enough, bad enough to have illegal fireworks, 29 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.800 then just keep the guns at home. Please do not shoot up into the 30 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.159 air. Those bullets come down, yes, if it may not be reported 31 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.639 as much as it should be, but those bulls when they come down, 32 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:37.039 lives are lost. If you're just tuning in, we have an Instagram live 33 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.400 at Later with Mo Kelly. You can see the fireworks and also see into 34 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.080 the studio as we're broadcasting line from Chateau lem And also we're sharing the Instagram 35 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:52.240 live with at Nick Poliochini and you can there. You can also see the 36 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.479 three sixty degree fireworks that we've been talking about all evening. I know some 37 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.960 people hit me on Instagram saying, Mo, there shouldn't be any illegal fireworks. 38 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.840 We just did a segment talking about how we're trying to move away from 39 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.360 a legal fireworks and legal fireworks to drone shows. But you know, I 40 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.280 don't know if there's any real appetite to stop it. We're in agreement. 41 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.680 They're dangerous. Yeah, no, and this is something that I don't think 42 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.159 anyone who is impacted by fireworks would disagree. I know my co parent, 43 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.360 I've invited her several times to come and hang out with us, but because 44 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:35.360 of growing up in Philadelphia and because of certain instances in her life dealing with 45 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:42.240 gun violence, she is actually petrified and afraid of fireworks. And it is 46 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.520 real. It is a very very real fear almost like with you and be's 47 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.599 her and fireworks do not get along, never have and it is like that 48 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:54.360 for so many people. And this is not some big commercial fool or anti 49 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.520 fireworks things, because look, everyone right now, within the sound of our 50 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.439 voice, look you've heard us. We are against the illegal fireworks. But 51 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:09.439 what you're hearing outside these individuals setting them up, they do not care. 52 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.360 They don't care about what we're talking about. Why because they've already purchased them 53 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:19.040 with the specific purpose of setting it off on the fourth of July. Right. 54 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:24.000 And also, I don't have a fear of fireworks, but I have 55 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.279 a healthy respect of the danger of fireworks. I've been burned by fireworks, 56 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.720 so I know how dangerous they can be. And we were being flipped before 57 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.160 about you know, are we tired of losing our figures and setting our houses 58 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.959 on fire? But that's the real cost of these shows. I was more 59 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:44.759 talking about the nostalgia connected to them and the Fourth of July, and I 60 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.680 think that's an impediment as to why we have trouble getting past the use of 61 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.240 traditional fireworks, be it legal or illegal. And also there's a cottage industry. 62 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.959 There are a lot of people who are willing to buy these fireworks. 63 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.720 They may be coming from across the border in large part, but they're people 64 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.639 buying them here as well. Yeah, no, no, no, no, 65 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:10.160 this isn't I have not seen an illegal firework like set up on a 66 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.639 street corner the entire year. So wherever they're going to get these, they 67 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.959 are going to get there and bring them back. Right. We just talked 68 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.879 about how California is trying to work with New Mexico and Nevada to curb the 69 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.879 import of illegal fireworks, but that still is individuals going across the border, 70 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.079 leaving California and bringing them in because they've long ban the cell of them in 71 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.920 Los Angeles County in particular, and I believe Orange County as well, But 72 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.639 that doesn't stop it. That doesn't stop it at all. And you know, 73 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.439 hey, sometimes people got to learn the hard way. Unfortunately. I 74 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.000 just hope it's not you know, someone that lives near you, brother, 75 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.680 So if you still want to tune into the fireworks, I want to log 76 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.800 off my Instagram line, but later with mo Kelly log onto at Nick Poliochini 77 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.040 right now, don't ask me to spell it, just figure it out at 78 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:08.040 Nick Paublo'chinni. He is bringing you the fireworks live three sixty degrees from my 79 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.959 house, just outside my house, and we're gonna take a quick break. 80 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.879 Now the other side, we're gonna let you listen to one of our classic 81 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.120 segments of movies and the Fourth of July, and then we'll hit you on 82 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.480 the other side. It's Later with Mo Kelly coming to you live from Chateau 83 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.279 le mo on the fourth of July, Independence Day, Happy Birthday America. 84 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.800 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. 85 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.680 Of course we were going to discuss movies in the fourth of July at some 86 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.519 point. Well, now is that point? I remember in a movie sense, 87 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.800 the fourth of July weekend was supposed to be the weekend for what would 88 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.040 be the biggest movie of the summer, if not the year. That's when 89 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.519 the big movie you'd have either a Will Smith offering or a Tom Cruise offering 90 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.079 something that was supposed to be the weekend. It doesn't feel like that's the 91 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.360 case anymore. Jaws was set on the fourth of July. When I think 92 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.800 about beach scenes and going to the beach during the summer. If you're at 93 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:11.959 least over the age of forty, you can't help but associate the beach with 94 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.600 Jaws. It changed how everyone went into the water. Whatever that promotion was, 95 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.360 Yes, Jaws was set on the fourth of July. This is a 96 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.319 great white larry, a big one, and any shark expert in the world 97 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.240 will tell you it's a killer. It's a man eater. Look. The 98 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.240 situation is that apparently a great white shark has staked to claim in the waters 99 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.360 off Family Island, and he is going to continue to feed here as long 100 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:31.720 as there is food in the water, and there's no limit to what he's 101 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.120 going to do. I mean, we've already had three incidents, two people 102 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.279 killed inside of a week, and it's going to happen again. It happened 103 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:41.319 before the Jersey Beature scene. Five people chewed up in the one week. 104 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.680 Tell them about the swimmers. A shark is attracted to the exact kind of 105 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.319 splashing, an activity that occurs whenever human beings go in swimming. You cannot 106 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.000 avoid it if you open the beatures on the fourth of July. It's like 107 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.079 ringing the dinner bell for CHRISTI what are the movies come to mind. When 108 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:59.560 you think of the Fourth of July weekend, only one movie the onliest movie 109 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.120 movie, and that is Independence Day. That's not top of the list. 110 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.079 Why we even talking about movies and Fourth of July? That was I guess 111 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.560 a little too obvious for me. And that's probably arguably I can't think of 112 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:18.639 one that's probably the biggest Fourth of July weekend movie of all time. Yeah, 113 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.279 and probably obviously Fourth of July themed movie of all time. The sequel 114 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:30.319 great disappointment, but the original was just wrapped in fourth of July. And 115 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.559 like I'm looking at TV right now, they have Independence Day on. You 116 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.120 can't escape it. I mean not that that's some surprise. Of course they're 117 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.960 going to show Independence Day. They do every single year, literally have to. 118 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.480 A few movies have captured the culture like that. It is the film 119 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:52.679 that arguably cemented Will Smith as one of the biggest actors ever define cemented, 120 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.240 given where he is right now, Okay, cemented in the terms of After 121 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.960 that, the summer became known as what Will Smith Summer. He was a 122 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.919 big Willie. He ruled the summers every summer after that. Hit film after 123 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.440 hit film after hit film, and that is what did it for him. 124 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.399 Now we know he's trying to come back, so I think that there may 125 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.159 be hope for him. But regardless, this film here is the film that 126 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.879 everyone I think career wise, he's done a lot but pop culture across the 127 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.600 board. You know him from this film. You know this was supposed to 128 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.840 be my weekend off. I knew she got me out of here, dragging 129 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.879 your heavy ass through the burning desert with your dreadline sticking out the back of 130 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.720 my pastute. You gotta come down here with an attitude hacking off bigg and 131 00:09:50.840 --> 00:10:00.960 band And what the hell is that smell? I could have been at a 132 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:09.440 barbecue, all right? We run lines of Independence Day, that speech by 133 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.039 Bill Pullman. I can almost recite it from memory. We will be united 134 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:20.159 in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the fourth of July 135 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.360 and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, 136 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:35.879 impression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to 137 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:45.279 live, to exist, and should we win, the day, the fourth 138 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.000 of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the 139 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.399 day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into 140 00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:01.639 the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live 141 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:09.840 on, We're going to survive. Today we celebrate our Independence Day and there 142 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.519 are a few movies and I have to rethink my choice because I was thinking 143 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.919 Jaws was the pre eminent one. Know, it has to be Independence that 144 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.480 it has to be. It has to be the very fact that this film 145 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:28.000 has coined one of the greatest lines in all of cinema. It cannot which 146 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.039 one, there are a lot of them. No, no, no, 147 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:37.200 no, the one Moe. You knew then there's no greater line in cinema. 148 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.000 Then that's but that's only if you really know the movie. And also 149 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.240 it's kind of prophetic now given how the Pentagon has come out with all this 150 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.679 information about UFOs and everything else. I mean, it's actually like, uh, 151 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.919 yeah, you knew then, you knew that talking about Judd Hirsh's character 152 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.080 talking about the aliens, you know, the aliens in the bunker area of 153 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.720 fifty one. You know that it all be dead Now, it wasn't my 154 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.679 David, none of you did anything to prevent this. There's nothing we could 155 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.080 do. We were totally unprepared for this. Ah, don't give me unprepared. 156 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.720 Come on, it was what in the nineteen fifties or whatever. You 157 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.320 you had that spaceship that yeah, yeah, that thing that you found in 158 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.840 New Mexico, that that was not the spaceship Russell wells well in Mexico. 159 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.879 Yeah. No, you had the spaceship and you had the bodies. They 160 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.559 were all locked up in a bunk up and that was that. David An 161 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.840 Area fifty one, right, area fifty one. You know, Dan, 162 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.799 and you did nothing and you did nothing. Yeah. The only thing about 163 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.080 that film that I to this day have qualms with is the fact that earthmade 164 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.919 technology could easily plug in to technology that was light years Beyonce with just a 165 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.480 thumb drive. They were they were still using a USB. Yeah, that 166 00:12:52.960 --> 00:13:00.919 was that was tough. And you know it's like my Commodore sixty four hacking 167 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:07.279 norad it it doesn't work. The three hundred bad dial up modem. You're 168 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.159 listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. As 169 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:20.240 we continue Chateau Lemo Live and in person, I'm joined in my studio, 170 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.240 my personal studio, by the producer of Soul cal Saturday, Miss Kayla Austin 171 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.120 Kayla, how you doing this season? I am having a blast at this 172 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.039 is your third time attending. If I'm not mistaken, I literally have an 173 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.080 annual tradition here only because of you. I'm like, oh, I'm doing 174 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.960 my annual fourth of July tradition National Solomo. You text me, it's like, 175 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.759 can I bring my sisters? Like wait, wait, you always bring 176 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.440 your sister. What do you mean? Why are you asking me? Can 177 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.639 I bring your sister? I know my sister looks forward to whatever year. 178 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.080 She's like, well, when we first got here three years ago, one 179 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.679 of your cousins or Wendy's cousin, she was pregnant, so we love to 180 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.080 see how big the little girl is now she's so old and like her little 181 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.519 sons are like, I can't wait to see I'm big. The boys gotten 182 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.759 what's going on? Know what the dogs? So it's amazing here. The 183 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.639 years are flying by, and I after this before, but I want to 184 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.360 ask you again because all of tonight has been about family, tradition, memories, 185 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.000 nostalgia. You're from the East Coast, where exactly from Atlantic City, 186 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.840 Atlantic City, Atlantic City, New Jersey, the boardwalk and all. When 187 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.320 you were growing up, what was the fourth of July. What were some 188 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.480 of the traditions or festivity. Well, my grandma she had a house right 189 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.799 on the bay, so we were able to kind of get in our boat 190 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.440 that we had and watch the fireworks from the bay, which was really cool 191 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.519 growing up or watching it from her doc. I love how your accent is 192 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.159 coming out, your Jersey accent? Is it? I didn't notice it anymore. 193 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.279 I'm just like they told me that outside to One of your cousins told 194 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.559 me that outside I tried to act like I was from South Central. It's 195 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.360 like you said, talk you did. But yeah, and then we all 196 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.399 just go to the Atlanta City Boardwalk and watch the fire fireworks there. That 197 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.720 was definitely a tradition to go there. And also with that's where we saw 198 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.960 Miss America too. So you came to California you were not a radio new 199 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.960 What brought you to California given that you had a radio career already on the 200 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.440 East Coast. Well, I did a morning show in an afternoon drive for 201 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.799 about five years when I randomly got laid off because they can no longer afford 202 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.759 my talent. This is this is radio. If you you've not worked in 203 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.480 radio, unless you've lost a job. I've been raided, right. I 204 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.519 thought that that that that rumor would never affect my life. I lost at 205 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:24.759 least three Yeah, yeah, so I'm halfway there. So I got laid 206 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.240 off and I'm crazy. So my reaction was to buy a one way flight 207 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.120 to la Like, oh, you guys are one way one way. I 208 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.000 got laid off in September. I bought a one way flight like maybe a 209 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.679 week or two later for January tenth, and I said, I have everything. 210 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.159 You didn't have a job and then decided to get on a plane to 211 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.840 a place you never lived, probably have few contacts, no contacts, no 212 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.679 friends, no family, no job, nothing. I just said, I'm 213 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.320 going to buy a one way flight three three thousand miles away and figure it 214 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.799 out. But you have a sister out here, So how does that work? 215 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.879 Well, I got out here four years ago. Lee was only here 216 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.440 two years. I convinced her two years after. I've been like, you 217 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.559 need to come here too. You were here. Bye bye bye yourself, 218 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.240 Bye bye bye myself. What was the first step after the one way fighter? 219 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:12.240 After I landed, it's the same basically. After I landed, I 220 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.159 literally didn't realize what I was doing. I didn't realize how major of a 221 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.679 city Los Angeles was. I got lost every single time I left the house. 222 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.320 I cried so many times, but I think that that's just what I 223 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.919 had to go through. And then the pandemic had because I got here January 224 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.720 twenty twenty, and then Mark twenty twenty, the pandemic was here. So 225 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:36.240 it was literally just doing applications getting told no until September of twenty twenty when 226 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.399 I got hired at CAFI. So from January to September November, I had 227 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.840 no job. Why radio, Oh my gosh, I love it. I 228 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.519 think that this is the most fun job you can ever have. You just 229 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.960 get to turn on the mics, share your opinion, connect with the community. 230 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.879 I don't think there's anything like radio. The intimacy. I call it 231 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.639 the intimacy. You get to connect with people the way that you can't connect 232 00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:00.960 on social media, you can't connect television. There is a under one personal 233 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.720 conversation that you could have with someone in their home, in their car, 234 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:10.960 and you can have it every single day. And I learned things about you, 235 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.279 and people will learn things about me as a host that you can't learn 236 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:21.119 about the television personality. You can't interact with me, especially pre social media, 237 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.599 you know, with a TV personality like you could a radio personality, 238 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.400 and but you're still chasing this dream. It's so intimate. I agree that 239 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.640 it's a way to connect with people, and I also love being able to 240 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.440 express some creative freedoms. So I think that radio A lot of people who 241 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.000 don't work in radio think it's just kind of turning on the microphone and just 242 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.119 shooting the craps. Couldn't That is so far from the truth. Like, 243 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:48.880 it's such controlled conversation, it's such creative, like it's it's just very intentional. 244 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.680 It's not just very flip floppy. It's a lot of fun. It's 245 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.319 a lot of fun. Now you are the producer of Soul col Saturday, 246 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.599 which is hosted by Tauola Shark, who's also the producer of Later with bo 247 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.960 Kelly. What has that experience been like? What has that journey been? 248 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.200 Like? I love Twala Sharp so much. He has taught me so much 249 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.279 because I feel like Sol Kyle is my newest show. I've been recording, 250 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.079 I've been producing shows. I've been on air for the while for a while 251 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.960 now. But me and Twala kind of started SOCAO at the same time because 252 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.599 it wasn't a show before I came on to the scene, but he asked 253 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.720 me to be his producer and I have so while is a real deal, 254 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.119 Like, first of all, he's a radio legend. I learned so much 255 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.240 from him. I learned just the intentionality behind what the show is, the 256 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.119 intentionality behind the show brand, and how if I give him a show or 257 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.759 a guest that isn't in line with what we're working toward, how he shoots 258 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.279 that down. Like he just really taught me so much in radio. And 259 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:41.079 I thought I knew a lot, but starting with the new show, with 260 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.079 the head Han Show and the King legend of radio, it's like, Wow, 261 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.599 people don't know Twiler Sharp has more than thirty years in radio. I 262 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.759 don't know the exact math, but if you know the history of radio in 263 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:56.279 Los Angeles and the historic nature of the station ninety two point three, the 264 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.839 beat in Los Angeles, you would know the name to Wallas Sharp. And 265 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.480 I remember when Tawyla Sharp had his interview at KFI and I said to Tula, 266 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.720 it's like, look, you know, we're trying to do something different 267 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.440 here and you may not see it right now, given how the station sounds 268 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:18.079 back then. We're talking two thousand and tennish twenty eleven, sometime around then, 269 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:19.599 And I said, just trust me, Twala. I don't know how 270 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:23.119 it's gonna happen, when it's gonna happen, but we're trying to change how 271 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.039 LA sounds because I was told when I came in to talk radio that you 272 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.680 can't have music on talk radio. We do a lot of music on top 273 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:36.640 data. You can't talk about sports on news talk radio. We talk about 274 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.200 sports on news talk radio. So I'm not a believer in what you can't 275 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.960 do. I am a firm believer in what I know works, and I 276 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:51.279 know what works in the sense of connecting with people things that people like to 277 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:55.759 discuss. People don't talk about politics all day long. Who does that? 278 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.640 There are other conversations that we have and other conversations that we should have. 279 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.359 Why because we're family, And when you're with family, you'll talk about anything. 280 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:04.960 You may talk about the Kardashians, and it may move to sports, 281 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.759 it may move to your favorite show or your favorite movie, and that I 282 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:14.599 think creates the best relationship between host and listener and all I can say is 283 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.000 thank you. Also not only did Tuala Sharp, host of Soul Cow Saturday, 284 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.079 but also you, Kayla Austin, You've come on this journey with us. 285 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:25.759 We were trying to school you on some things early on and now you 286 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:32.519 start to see Hunh Howler, it is a process and it's a journey. 287 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.799 It's not a destination. All the things that we're doing right now and later 288 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.799 with mo Kelly, it took us a while to get to this point. 289 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.319 We didn't just open the mic and say hey, we're just gonna have a 290 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.759 live show at the crib. It didn't work like that. Hey we're going 291 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.960 to talk about sports. No, it didn't work that right. You know, 292 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.319 Hey, why don't we talk about movies? No. There were things 293 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.000 that we had to do to grow to a point where people established a relationship 294 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.960 with us and trusted us to have these conversations. Yes, we have the 295 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.519 more serious conversations, but they know that it comes from a point of sincerity 296 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.279 and authenticity. And you, I would like to consider part of my radio 297 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:11.119 tree. Your success is our success gone with your bet So thank you, 298 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:12.720 thank you. I've learned so much from you and in Towala and I appreciate 299 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.920 you being my You didn't ask to me my mentors, but I came in 300 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.880 here and I asked you in Touala so many questions from the time I started, 301 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.400 and you have never hesitated to give me an answer, give me advice, 302 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.920 or help me in the right direction. That I'm eternally grateful for you 303 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:27.440 when I do get to where I'm going. Well, I say it this 304 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.440 way. If we have these platforms and we don't use them to lift, 305 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.480 uplift and help one another, than what's the freaking point. You're right, 306 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.599 I thank you. So I'll talk to you soon. Cale when we come 307 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:44.319 back. We're going to close out Chateau le Mo, this annual celebration of 308 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.519 America's Birthday and Independence Day here on KFI AM six forty. In just a 309 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.279 moment, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six 310 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.359 forty to Walla Sharp. You've been with me every step of the way. 311 00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:02.839 You've been on this journey. Now I think we've really hit our stride and 312 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.400 having some fun with it. We've talked about these things. Now we're doing 313 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:11.519 these things, food, family, fun, fireworks for the fourth year. 314 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.240 What are your thoughts. I think that every year it just gets better. 315 00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:21.039 If you were here in the building, you would have seen. As a 316 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.480 producer, Dana says, we're going up. We are going up, and 317 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.240 that is what it is all about. We're taking it to the next level. 318 00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:33.880 Hopefully next year both Foosh and Mark can join us, because then the 319 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.279 family will really be complete. Yeah, I'm tired of Mark. Get your 320 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.880 ass up and bring your ass all over to the chateau. I know, 321 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.400 really stop playing listen to the peer pressure. Wow, okay, okay, 322 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:52.359 pressure. I know you're not my peers. You're not my peers. Look, 323 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.359 and I know Foods really wants to be here because he loves fun as 324 00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.319 much as we do. I don't know, maybe Mark doesn't love fun, 325 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.240 but what this is allow? I hate fun? You figured it out. 326 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.200 I gett so jealous every time I see the lives and I see the spread 327 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:11.279 that you put out, especially Bloodsos Like, yes, every year bloods barbecue 328 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.359 over here. Yeah, come on, here's actually the story behind it. 329 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:22.200 When Bloodsoe's had first opened on Librea, they were a relatively new barbecue place, 330 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.839 and The mo Kelly Show was having one of its annual celebrations it's birthday 331 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.200 shows. Blood So's had reached out and said, hey, can we cater 332 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:37.480 your anniversary show? And they gave us googlebs of food, just gave us. 333 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.759 It's like, just you know, just give us some promotion on the 334 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.799 air. And ever since then, Yep, we've been riding with Bloodsoe's Barbecue 335 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.519 and that's how it should be. You know, they took care of us, 336 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:51.160 we take care of them, and they did. When I say they 337 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:56.000 catered today's party and show, No, we paid for that. You know, 338 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.079 that's a part of the relationship. We're not asked for stuff for free. 339 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.359 It's just that we want to support you and your business because you supported 340 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.839 us when there was no reason to. Yeah, I remember that. That 341 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.720 was literally the second anniversary show, because we did the one at the Bowling 342 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:17.680 Alley, and then the next one we said, you know what, let's 343 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.519 do something different. Yep, let's have a live in studio audience chairs, 344 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.839 all in the in the booth, chairs, all in air mix. And 345 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.160 it was a party and we are keeping that party going now. People may 346 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.119 not know we've talked about it. How Twala, you're from the commercial music 347 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:40.200 radio portion of the business. I'm from the radio label portion of the business. 348 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:44.359 And we came up at a time where there was no such thing as 349 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.480 impossible. You were given a task or you wanted to achieve a goal, 350 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.440 and you just went out and did it, like, for example, said 351 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:53.200 we don't have the money for this, We don't have the money for that. 352 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.720 Okay, we'll make it well, somehow make it ourselves. Like for 353 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.680 example, we don't have the money to do an anniversary show certain location. 354 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.640 That's fine, We'll throw our own anniversary show. We'll find someone to bring 355 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.079 us some food. We'll open up the doors and let just people come in 356 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:10.039 the studio. That's what we did. Yeah, yeah, by hook or 357 00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.000 by crook. The industry and the world we came from, there was no 358 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:21.279 I can't do that. It was get it done blank blank blank blank blank 359 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.039 blank blank, get it instead of your name. There are several curses thrown 360 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.119 at you. And that is the hustle that we put into this show. 361 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:36.240 Why we work so hard to do the impossible and oftentimes ask for forgiveness instead 362 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:40.480 of permission. I am sorry, Robin, but that's our mindset. Our 363 00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.440 mindset is we are going to make it happen by hook or crook, because 364 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.640 we are trying to make sure that you you listening, get the best show 365 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.000 that you will ever ever experience. Every time I when I say to people 366 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.200 and I say it on air, and I don't know if people take me 367 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.039 seriously or know that I'm serious. When I say I'm the best job in 368 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:02.880 the world, I mean exactly that because the things that I had to do 369 00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:07.359 to get to this point. I've talked about it publicly in my public speeches, 370 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.880 but most people don't know it. Gone through hell and the high water 371 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.079 and be able to get here. And they say that you're working on your 372 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.440 day off. No, no, no, this is fun. I'm also 373 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.920 doing something for the job, but it's not work. It's not the same. 374 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.440 I enjoy talking to you each and every night from Monday to Friday, 375 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.160 seven to ten pm. And I enjoy working with Tuala and everyone else at 376 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:37.759 KFI. This is fun under the guys of work. I love talking to 377 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.359 you in Los Angeles and you in Orange County and you in San Diego County 378 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:47.880 and San Bergardino County and Ventura County because I am no different than you. 379 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.400 I'm just a guy who likes to talk and have some opinions about this and 380 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.480 that, and I get the opportunity to share some of them and my world 381 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:03.799 view with you listening right now. I'm not trying to convince you to vote 382 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:06.839 for someone. I'm not trying to convince you to see the world as I 383 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:10.960 do. I'm just trying to have a conversation with you and somehow, hopefully 384 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.400 we can meet in the middle, because I would like this show to be 385 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.799 a reflection of how I would like to see the world. You know, 386 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.480 the people who are here at this party, they're my family. We may 387 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.119 not be blood related, but damn it, I would go to the mat 388 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:30.279 and through a wall for all of you because you are my family chosen. 389 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.279 And that does not to discount Stefan and Mark, who may not physically be 390 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.680 here, but if it went down, I'd be right there, shoulder to 391 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.920 shoulder with them. This has been a journey, this has been a fantastic 392 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:47.039 voyage, as they say, and we're going to keep this party going beyond 393 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:51.079 just this moment, beyond just tonight, and we as we come to the 394 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:56.319 end of the fourth of July chateaule Mod Celebration, the fourth annual, just 395 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:02.400 know we do this because we love you. Last what it's yours Tuala. 396 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:07.640 Please, whatever you do, do not drink and drive today. There are 397 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:12.839 several ride share companies that are just to tap away if you do anything, 398 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.839 save a life, call it Uber, call a cab, or just if 399 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:26.400 you can stay where you are. I've lost too many friends to the victimization 400 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.599 of drunk driving and I don't want it to be you, so please do 401 00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.079 not drink a driver.
