I've everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have a wonderful show 3 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.719 this evening for you. In the first hour, we have the list of 4 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:39.079 states with the most contaminated water and guess what, California made the list. 5 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.439 And we're gonna talk about the California freeways with the most pothole claims and the 6 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.359 ones which are never filled. So we have a bunch of potholes and they're 7 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:55.240 not getting filled and claims are not being filled. And e bike riders. 8 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.840 Did you hear about this southern California, they've been tormenting beach crowds with fireworks. 9 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.880 Yes, the Fourth of July is coming near. And let me just 10 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.000 say this up front, Mark Runner, I hope you're paying attention. Of 11 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:07.879 course, Stephan, I hope you're paying attention. I know to Walla's paying 12 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.239 attention because he always knows. Every single Fourth of July, we have Chateau 13 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:19.280 Mola where we do the show live from Chateau lem And in the recent months 14 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.439 Mark Runner has been complaining like you never invite me, you don't invite me. 15 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.599 I invited Stephanie. He couldn't come because he was working or something like 16 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.079 that, and we have to find someone to fill in for him so he 17 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.680 can come to the house. So, Mark Runner, this is going to 18 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:40.079 be on the podcast. You are officially invited. You could even bring a 19 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:48.599 guest to chateau as we do our annual Fourth of July party and also dessert 20 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.120 bake off competition. I'm overwhelmed. I barely know what to say, and 21 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.680 I talked for a living Well, you'll find some excuse not to show up. 22 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.599 I'm sure you just wanted to be to say that I had never invited 23 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.200 you. You didn't actually want to come. Well, that's not true at 24 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.639 all. I mean, obviously I have all the normal concerns going into what 25 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.479 is it you're five of a worldwide pandemic. But if all the green lights 26 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.599 are there, I'm excited to come. All right, we'll let you sit 27 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.479 out in the backyard. We'll be inside the house and outside the house. 28 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.919 I'll just sit out in the corner as far away from everybody as possible by 29 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.080 myself. All right, But but we know that the invitation has gone out. 30 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.639 Everyone has hurt it. He can't say, well, you never invite 31 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.479 me. No, no, no, we know how it is. No 32 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.439 imagine my gratitude. No, this is this is great. I would have 33 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.159 to imagine it because you aren't. There's no gratitude about anything. What there's 34 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.800 no excitement? No, no, you would rather sit home and come plain. 35 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.960 Oh not true at all. No all wear sure, so where I 36 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.599 guess we call them tank tops now and not the WB word. It'll be 37 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:54.000 fun. They are person beaters. That's a twenty twenty four version. Yeah, 38 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.319 you can't. You can't single out wides. They are person You know, 39 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.719 it's a holiday, so it'll be casual address. I might even just 40 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.960 show up in a speedo and let everybody suffer. Yeah, that's something to 41 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.960 do. They don't mess around like it's a legit trophy. They have to 42 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.960 do a legit presentation. I saw I can get to be there, obviously, 43 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.199 but I saw it on the Live Man. You guys throw down like 44 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.400 it is a serious thing. I have to remind Fork reporter. But last 45 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.840 year in July, he said I will be your judge next year. I 46 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.360 haven't reconfirmed with him, but we should expect. I'm going to force him 47 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.960 to keep his promise. Now we'll have Fork reporter in the house to judge 48 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.400 the dessert bake off competition. Thank you very much. Okay, Now I 49 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.280 got to tell you I have not really socialized with a lot of people at 50 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.919 the station because everybody lives so far apart that it's not really convenient to do. 51 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.080 And just add that to the situation in the last four years. Who 52 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:57.360 gets just out of control drunk at these things other than my wife, I'm 53 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.919 blast. I hope she's listening to you. There's a true story behind that. 54 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.840 I wouldn't say not a lot of people. See in previous years when 55 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.639 I was doing the mo Kelly Show on Saturdays, it is from Saturday from 56 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.919 six to eight. When I'm doing the show now from seven to ten, 57 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.360 people are drinking earlier and then later into the evening. But also we do 58 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.680 go out as best we can. You know, I still got to finish 59 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.959 the show and we watch the fireworks. We have a place where we can 60 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.160 watch the fireworks up on high and see in a three sixty degree panoramic way 61 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.240 all the fireworks shows which are going on in La Okay from San Pedro. 62 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.079 And we'll talk about that how that got canceled all the way up to like 63 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.399 Santa Clarita. I'm thinking, like maybe Angel Martinez would being out of control 64 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:47.879 drunk. I he's listening, So I get a text like ten seconds from 65 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.120 now. I hope you guys are friends, because if you're not, you 66 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:56.959 never will be if we kind of were. But I'm just throwing that out 67 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.480 there and the real quick just because you talk about the fireworks. It was 68 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.680 crazy how you could hear them through the mics. Yeah, when you got 69 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.040 back, I thought someone was lighting them up, like outside in the driveway. 70 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:09.639 You're like, no, there's that's a big one. Yeah, And 71 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.959 it was like across two, you know, four to five houses over eighties. 72 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.399 Yeah, are ubiquitous. They are everywhere. You can hear them all 73 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.839 the time. And my dogs are so numb to it. They don't even 74 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.759 care. They've go out in the backyardist they just know they're going to hear 75 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.879 fireworks. Not that they have any concept of the calendar, but the truth 76 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.120 is they'll be hearing fireworks for a good three four months, from like April 77 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.240 to August. I'm excited to meet the dogs. Animals and children love me. 78 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.680 It's too bad the adults known. I'm happy with things the way they 79 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:42.560 are, well oh, step is back, so is the rib shot. 80 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.959 There we go, and also we got to talk about coyotes have been prowling 81 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.680 around and terrorizing the southern California neighborhood. And I had talked about the coyotes 82 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.279 in my neighborhood. I put them up on in our ha I put up 83 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.120 videos on the ring device so people know there's a den of coyotes not too 84 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.120 far from my house and they're running around like three at a time. They 85 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.639 are dangerous and like the storm I'm going to tell you about, the county 86 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.920 won't do anything about them. And if you do something to the coyotes, 87 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.439 you might get in trouble. We got to talk about that, but that's 88 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.680 all later on Later with mo Kelly k if I AM six forty. We're 89 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.600 live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on 90 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.519 demand from KFI AM six forty. So what do you want first? The 91 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.199 bad news? The bad news? No, no, no, I'm serious. 92 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.759 What do you want the bad news or the really bad news or the 93 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.439 very very bad news? But I'm telling you I got bad news for you. 94 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.600 Do you want pothole bad news? Or do you want contaminated drinking water. 95 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.319 Bad news. Don't everyone speak up at once? Okay, we'll start 96 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.279 with potholes. According to cal Trans and this is a This is data obtained 97 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:54.480 by CBS News California investigates, there were thirty thousand cal Trans damaged claims due 98 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.920 to potholes, debris, or other dangers on state freeways between twenty eighteen and 99 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.279 twenty twenty three. Thirty thousand damage claims. How many times have you and 100 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:11.120 I had our car damaged on the freeway by debris or a pothole and not 101 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.160 made a damaged claim? I would think probably ninety percent of the time. 102 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.519 Ninety people probably never make a claim. I've had a blowout because I hit 103 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:25.800 a pothole, I didn't make a damaged claim. Have you ever rolled over? 104 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.959 Oh, have you ever like rolled over a truck tire the remnants like 105 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.680 a truck tad, a truck tread. Oh, it will mess up your 106 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.680 car. It will really mess up your car, like the remnants of a 107 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.959 tire. Yeah, you know what the eighteen wheelers they have these like retreaded 108 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.360 tires. Yeah, so the tire tread will come off and it will just 109 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:46.560 be in the middle of the roadway. Oh, I know, okay now, 110 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.639 and it will tear up your tires and tear up the bottom of your 111 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.319 car. I've had a truck tire come off a truck and then bounce down 112 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.079 the freeway and off my car. It's like a whip under the car. 113 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.920 Yes, like it? Yeah, I know what you mean. And did 114 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.360 I do a damage claim to cal Trans? No? You just kind of 115 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.319 go on with your life. And for what I see here, Well, 116 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.519 it wouldn't have made any difference. Back in twenty eighteen, Caltrans approved about 117 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:24.079 ten percent of damage claims one in ten. The number of approved claims dropped 118 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:30.199 to just four percent through mid twenty twenty three. So even if I would 119 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.080 have made a claim, it would not have made a difference. I wouldn't 120 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.080 have received any money most likely, and it would have been just an It 121 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.320 would have been a fool's errand to even try. Let's break it down though, 122 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.039 as far as the worst freeways, the ones which you're most likely to 123 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.240 either have an issue or damage to your car, from the top to the 124 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:58.759 bottom of the state. In Sacramento, US eighty tops the list of complaints, 125 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.919 with nearly nine hundred claims between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty three, followed 126 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.279 by Highway fifty and I five. Hold on to that I five. I'll 127 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.519 be coming back to that in the moment. In the Bay Area, the 128 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.559 one on one freeway, Yes, the same one O one freeway that's down 129 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.799 here, goes all the way up to the Bay had the most incidents resulting 130 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.279 in claims, with more than two thousand. Mind you, the most claims. 131 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.960 They probably were not reimbursed because I just gave you the data. At 132 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.320 best, it was ten percent back in twenty eighteen and went down to four 133 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.679 percent in the last year, So two thousand claims very likely few of them 134 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:46.639 were actually approved. Let's go to southern California. The five Freeway. Told 135 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.360 you I was coming back to the five. The five Freeway had the most 136 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.559 incidents resulting in claims with problem areas in wait for it, Orange County, 137 00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.960 between Laguna Hills and San Juan Capistrano. Let's say you're at the other end 138 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:07.159 of the five, from San Fernando through Santa Clarita up to let me ask 139 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.840 you this mark. I've lived here and I've heard thirty five different pronunciations of 140 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:20.840 this city. Is it Castaic, cast steak? Castick. It's my After 141 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.480 some trial and error, boy, was my learning curve steep. I was 142 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.600 told it was casteak, as in like st e a k at casteak. 143 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.799 See, I've always said casteak, and I know someone will correct me. 144 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.360 It looks like that. It looks like casteak. I did too. And 145 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.679 then because you go by Chris Little, he said casteak. What has he 146 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.879 ever been right about anything? Now? Only I always think of you and 147 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.320 him when it comes to driver like drivers. Yes, and I said, 148 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.840 now, just to make him mad, I'm just going to back right out 149 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.480 of this, you dumb Mark. But I do trust him on place names 150 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.480 because you know some some of those like what was the one that tripped me 151 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.519 up so badly out of flint Ridge? That's a good for a first time. 152 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.840 Did you get l O S second word f E l I Z incorrect? 153 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.720 No? I knew that one because I had a friend who lived there. 154 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.559 But like I said, bad learning curve on on my part. It 155 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.559 took a while to get some of the names down. Did you have a 156 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:20.840 problem with s E p U l V E d A No, but it 157 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.600 is fun to hear people kind of take that one on that one it trips 158 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:30.320 up everyone that doesn't look the one that trips people up, and I have 159 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.519 to look at them carefully, like, did you say what I think you 160 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.399 said? Los Sienica? Yeah, I think the long suffering ones parents referred 161 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.679 to it as Trenega and I said, watching now carel Yeah, yeah, 162 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:50.639 they didn't. They didn't follow it up with the Please I see what you 163 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:56.440 did there. Those are freeways. Those are freeways. Let's talk about contaminated 164 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.360 water, because we know California hates to be left out of the worst list, 165 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:07.559 all right. Newsweek analysis showed the states with the with the most water 166 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.600 systems where drinking water has been registered as above the proposed limit for PFAS. 167 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.600 I don't know what that means, but it's like human made forever chemicals. 168 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.799 Whatever PFAS means, don't ask me. I'm just reading this story. Newsweek 169 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.679 analysis that there are five states that are the worst offenders, and we're going 170 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.799 to give them to you right now. Coming in at number five with the 171 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:41.559 state with the most contaminated drinking water systems Pennsylvania with one hundred and twenty five. 172 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:50.519 Number four New Hampshire with two hundred and two. And you would think 173 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.639 New Hampshire. It's a relatively small state. That's like, that's got to 174 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.559 be all the whole state, right right, yeah, yeah, Well you 175 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.120 gotta think in New Hampshire it's the old place. Probably old pipes. But 176 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.799 I'm saying you have two hundred and two different water systems. Yeah, the 177 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.519 state is not that big. It's it can only have like what two hundred 178 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.200 and forty Yes, all of them got old, rusty pipes. That's why 179 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.320 the water is so bad and contaminated. Probably lead pipes, all right, 180 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:26.879 all right, and coming in at number three, oh d California. At 181 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.720 least we're not number one, but we're a top five. That's got to 182 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.840 mean something. We're top five, but number three at California with two hundred 183 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:48.360 and sixty three different water systems above safe contamination levels. Number two Massachusetts said 184 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.399 nothing any bitty state, four hundred and thirty nine, four hundred and thirty 185 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:58.480 nine different water systems contaminated water. I tell you those liberals, they don't 186 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:13.320 believe in clean water. Coming here number one, New Joys. That makes 187 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.600 sense. With seven hundred excuse me, five hundred and fifty six contaminated water 188 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.320 systems. You're talking to me, forget about five hundred and fifty six little 189 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.200 states. Illinois wasn't on this list. We're not on top five, not 190 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.919 top five. You could be number six for all I know. I only 191 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.080 have to listen to that water. Well, you know, look about Michigan. 192 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.480 Look, I only have the top five, really five, okay, 193 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.000 and that water's good bodies in that water. Yeah, well, there have 194 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.960 been many court cases around Michigan's water, so yeah, come on, that 195 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.480 should still be number one. That water hasn't been fixed yet, but it 196 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:58.440 says water systems has a number of water systems not necessarily the worst case or 197 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.120 incident of contaminat water. There's gonna be a separate list of like water you 198 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.200 wouldn't drink on a dare from each state. Michigan would be at the top 199 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.279 of that. Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's gotta be. But remember 200 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.080 remember remember when we were growing up, or at least I did. I 201 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.639 drank tap water all the time. I drank water out of the hose. 202 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.360 Oh yeah, hose. The hose water was It was tasty, It had 203 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.639 its own flavor. As the kids say, it hit different, right, 204 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.440 it did, it did different. On a hot day, Turn on that 205 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.639 water to hose. Let you have to let it run for like six or 206 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.519 seven seconds because I want to be hot. You get let it, gotta 207 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.240 let it cool off. But then it tastes so good. It was like 208 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.720 its own flavor. What flavor you want? Do you want want cherry? 209 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.360 You want grape? You want hose? Never mind that sounded wrong. Oh, 210 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.000 look at the time. Look at the time. Let's talk fireworks when 211 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:52.080 we come back. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI 212 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.840 AM six forty.

I'm a kid at heart when it 221 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:40.600 comes to fireworks, But fireworks mean different things for different people. Now it 222 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.639 seems like kids today use that as a way to torture other people, to 223 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.879 create mischief. Did you hear about a group of e bike riders near Hermosa 224 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:56.440 Beach Pier. They had people scrambling as they were launching fireworks into the crowds 225 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.360 of people. According to authorities at the Hermosa Beach Police Department, the incident 226 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.160 happened around eight thirty last night, and the e bikers will come to a 227 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:10.359 stop and form a small scrum before several of them break away and another tosses 228 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:15.160 in a legal firework into the crowded seed. There are two things to this 229 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.559 one. There is the issue of e bikes and I'm seeing them more and 230 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.279 more, and I almost hit one the other day because they don't stop at 231 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.559 stop signs. They go from corner and cart and they just zoom straight through, 232 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.200 assuming that you can see them and that you will stop for them. 233 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.759 Now, we have a coyote story that we'll talk about next segment, and 234 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.559 coyote I will hit. I don't want to hit a person. I don't 235 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:38.880 I don't want to hit a person. But if you're riding an e bike, 236 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.440 it's not as fast as a motorcycle, but it's definitely faster than someone 237 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.279 just pedaling and they get up to a certain speed, and we understand this. 238 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.480 We understand this as drivers when when someone is moving fast outside your periphery, 239 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.720 when someone is like on the sidewalk, A lot of times they're riding 240 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:02.240 them on the sidewalk and they're coming to to what you may think is a 241 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:08.440 stop sign and they are just barreling through. Oh, it's something else that 242 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.160 you have to worry about that you shouldn't have to worry about. And now 243 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:18.200 they're throwing fireworks at people. According to the Instagram account South Dot Bay Dot 244 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.799 Responders, the fireworks were ignited right off the patio of Sharky's Bar, I 245 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.039 know where that is, and promoting patrons to evacuate. The account also allege 246 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.000 that one woman was hit in the face by a firework and the window of 247 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.279 Baked Bear Restaurant was hit as well. I've had a firework go off in 248 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:41.000 my hand because someone had long story short, someone had taken out the fuse 249 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.319 and the firework out of this firework and he just had like the string and 250 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.960 the the incendiary on the other end. And I was about maybe I was 251 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.039 sixth seventh grade. This kid, I remember, his name is Mike Mattani. 252 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.759 He's probably listening right now. I haven't forgotten Mike Mattani. And he 253 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.240 said, you want to have a tug of war with this thing and out 254 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.599 and he gave me the course, the firework end of it. I didn't 255 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.319 know. I thought he was my friend. He was not my friend, 256 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.799 clearly. And so it blows up in my hand and my hand is on 257 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.920 fire, third degree burns. I'll never forget it. And that changed my 258 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.279 whole perception of fireworks as far as how dangerous they are. I wasn't a 259 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.039 kid who was doing all the crazy things with fireworks. And I still that's 260 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.400 seriously burned by fireworks. When I read a story like this to Walla, 261 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.680 it gets me real, real angry, because I know, when you're throwing 262 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.319 these fireworks in the crowd someone, you can really hurt someone severely. Yeah, 263 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.279 and then you throw in the whole e bye thing. I'm not saying 264 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.200 I want something bad to happen to him. I just want something not good 265 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.480 to happen to me. Now, okay, that's not good. I have 266 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:48.440 to admit that this is something that my friends back in the day of e 267 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.839 bikes were a thing. This is something that me and my crew potentially would 268 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.640 have done. I found funny. I don't find it funny anymore. I 269 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.440 lag my finger angrily at these kids. But when I first I said to 270 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.480 myself, Yeah, that's the type of mischief I got into. Yeah, 271 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.720 my mischief was just different. It was just really different. There's some things 272 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.359 that were really over the line. I know the statue of limitations has expired, 273 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:21.319 but I wasn't trying to hurt anyone or do something that I thought someone 274 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:26.240 would get harmed. That was my line. Okay, yeah, you know, 275 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.119 I'm the ketchup mustard guy at Disneyland. No one's gonna get harmed. 276 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.359 They're gonna get mad, but they're not gonna get harmed. I was the 277 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.359 guy who would string up fishing line from light pole to light pole, and 278 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.920 back in the day when cars had actual antennae, you know, they drive 279 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.359 through and the fishing line would rip off the antenna of the car. That's 280 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:48.279 my type of mischief, you know, I thought of you Mo. There's 281 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:49.599 been a It was a while ago now, but there was kind of like 282 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:55.200 a viral trend, as they say, where it would be two people on 283 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.799 either side of the road and they just pretend that they had like a sheet, 284 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.680 didn't have anything, but they just would pull and the cars all stopped 285 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.200 and they would like roll through and it just like like an invisible line. 286 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:08.920 Yeah, like they had like saran wrappers on it, and they all slowed 287 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.079 down in between it and you see them all honking and then they just like 288 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.559 like they pretend to let go and then they chary through. There's nothing there. 289 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.119 But see, the thing is, in today's world, you had these 290 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.640 idiots out there who would do something like that. You have to assume that 291 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:29.200 they are serious with that. Yeah, you have to. I would slow 292 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.680 down because why am I just gonna barrel through when you have kids on e 293 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.880 bikes riding around throwing fireworks and people. Yeah, that's plausible. I believe 294 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:42.559 that, And that brings me to this. Fireworks shows are becoming fewer and 295 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:48.480 fewer. You had the fireworks show in Long Beach and San Pedro canceled ahead 296 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.039 of Independence Day. Those are big shows. Long Beach is big Bang on 297 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.240 the Bay. I've seen that a bunch of times, which took place every 298 00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:00.440 July third over Alamedo's Bay and San Pedro's Fireworks at Carell Beach have been canceled 299 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.480 due to permit issues. The Long Beat show was canceled since organizers didn't submit 300 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:10.359 an application to the California Coastal Commission in time. I know there was one 301 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.680 person and that person had one job, just one job on the show is 302 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.799 every single year the same day. They need a permit every single year at 303 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:25.640 the same time, and you couldn't get the one permit application signed and delivered. 304 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.880 But you know, there are actually more shows that are that I'm reading 305 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.039 about that are opting to do drone shows and do away with fireworks altogether. 306 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:38.680 I look, I would appreciate a drone show. You can be far more 307 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:44.359 creative. It may be more expensive, probably probably, I'm just guessing. 308 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.119 I don't know, but it looks like given the sophistication of technology, it 309 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.480 would be more expensive. But it's a better show. You can do more 310 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:56.000 things with it, you can change it from year to year. I'm all 311 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:57.559 for that. I think that's going to be the natural evolution. Yeah, 312 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:03.279 yeah, yeah, I mean that thing. Fireworks are now becoming a things 313 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.799 for vandals and hooligans and people who want to set off neighborhood fireworks, but 314 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.599 no one is trying to go to the big show as loud. Kids oftentimes 315 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.319 are more frightened than they are amused. And you can see the big show 316 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.599 from anywhere the most part. You've been to my house. We can see 317 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.400 all the big shows from my house. Yeah, seriously, I'd rather drowne 318 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.359 show. Yeah. And you also have the idiots out there who are shooting 319 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.160 up in the air. Shot in the air. Yes, maybe not in 320 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.519 your neighborhood, but in my neighborhood most definitely. You just have to worry 321 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.839 about falling bullets. And that's just for like hitting the lotto. You can't 322 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.440 you can't worry about it. You just know that, you know, if 323 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.319 you're unlucky, you're unlucky. True story. When we come back, we'll 324 00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:48.119 talk about coyotes in southern California, amongst other things. I have to worry 325 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.519 about my neighborhood. You got the falling bullets, you got the metro, 326 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.079 you got the coyotes, death and destruction everywhere you're listening to Later with Moe 327 00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:03.039 Kelly on demand from KFI AMC. It's Later with Mo Kelly. We're live 328 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:10.880 everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. There are a lot of coyotes in my area, 329 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.240 and I'm just outside of Inglewood. To give you some perspective of where 330 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:19.359 I live. There are coyotes which will run in pacts. For the most 331 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.680 part, they are nocturnal, but there's some you'll see in the daytime. 332 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:32.279 They're not pets, they're not domesticated, but people sometimes feed them. You'll 333 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.960 see the most on trash day because they know that's where the food source is. 334 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.119 People sometimes wrongly believe that they're not dangerous. They are dangerous. They're 335 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:48.160 especially dangerous to the small children, small pets, and they will attack. 336 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.519 And I didn't know how well that they could jump, but they can jump 337 00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:55.799 census which are six seven feet high. Do you see any of the coyotes 338 00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:02.400 carrying, say, anvils or acme. No, not these coyotes. And 339 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.240 I haven't seen any road runners around either. Okay, no, no, 340 00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.839 But but they're actually on the same level of intelligence. They're not. They're 341 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:15.799 not super bright. They're they're easy to scare. Because I've been walking my 342 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.960 dog. You see a coyote. If you make a sound or they coyotes 343 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.799 think that there's going to be a fight, then most likely they'll run away. 344 00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.400 So when you say they're not super bright, what you're implying is they 345 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:32.960 could possibly be fooled by painting a tunnel on the wall of place. Yes, 346 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:33.960 they could do that, Okay, yeah, yeah, they could be 347 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:40.599 fooled. Mark Roger. The reason I'm bringing up this story is because some 348 00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:42.960 residents in the west Side west Side neighborhood of mar Vista, and I know 349 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:48.559 exactly who that is if you're over there close to Culver City. Their residents 350 00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.960 are are fed up with this what they turned as an out of control coyote 351 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.799 population and say the city and county officials are telling them that they need to 352 00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.079 live to learn to live with it. I know this story well because I 353 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:06.839 have been complaining not only to my HOA, but my accounting supervisor as far 354 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:11.640 as the coyotes. Because legally, from what I understand, we really can't 355 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.319 do anything to them. It would be illegal for me to go back in 356 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.680 my backyard and start sniping them. I can show you my ring device. 357 00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:26.240 There is a veritable coyote den behind my backyard. So it's something that I'm 358 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.559 concerned about all the time. Yeah, we got those too. Also, 359 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:38.880 those are some good eating mark Mark Mark home surveillance cameras captured this pack of 360 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:45.160 six wild coyotes stirring along a back patio fence, and even caught one of 361 00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.119 the coyotes stalking a man while he was walking his dog on the neighborhood street. 362 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.839 Yeah, been there, I know what that's like. In another video, 363 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.240 the pack can be heard howling extremely loudly. Yeah, you can hear 364 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:57.880 them. Just a week ago, as a matter of fact, my wife 365 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:03.960 had awakened me because she could hear the coyote mauling someone's dog within a two 366 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:06.480 block radius. Don't know where it was. You hear them. They make 367 00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:11.599 these sounds like and it's unmistakable. And then you can hear them when they're 368 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.119 attacking pets. They sound like curly from the three steps. Actually they do. 369 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:19.200 They make this They make this whooping sound. I can't duplicate it. 370 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:25.559 Yeah, and it is very eerie. And when the mauling starts, you 371 00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:30.839 hear whatever they're they're attacking dying. It's a very unsettling sound. Oh yeah, 372 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.839 we hear some cats getting mauled in our neighborhood every now and then, 373 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:38.480 and it's blood curdling, and I'm actually surprised, if only because the cats 374 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:44.480 I think would be quicker, more agile than the coyote. I know, 375 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:49.599 but I'm saying that's the thing. And the mar Vista residents are complaining that 376 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:55.920 it's getting progressively worse, and a band of neighbors have come together to demand 377 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.920 action following a scare with these coyotes and pets in the neighborhood. Quote, 378 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.359 my dogs were outside in the backyard going to the bathroom, and all of 379 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.680 a sudden, a coyote approached my fourteen year old senior dog and tried to 380 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.160 attack it. Luckily, my younger dog saw what was going on and he 381 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.079 chased it off. Yes, they can be chased off, but they think 382 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:21.039 they have an advantage they will pounce. The young resident goes on. We've 383 00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.920 reached out to animal services, and everyone seems to point at someone else that 384 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:32.079 is responsible. That's Shelley bergenhell marph Vista resident, and I sympathize and empathize. 385 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.599 I go through this as well. I'm always concerned about whether a coyote 386 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:40.960 is going to figure out how to get into my backyard. And you've seen 387 00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:42.839 my backyard, there's a high back fence. But you know if you go 388 00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:45.240 around to the front of the house and jump all the fences, yeah, 389 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.319 it's not as high. And I remember I got some hate mail the first 390 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.960 time I talked about this, and I said, if I saw a coyote 391 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.079 in the street, I'd run it down. I wasn't joking. I mean, 392 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.599 look, I've gone through the correct pathway. It's like, I'm asking 393 00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.960 the city and county, can you do something about the coyotes. They sent 394 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.559 out someone from Animal Control and they had this humane catch and release program where 395 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.000 they had this cage where if you walk in one side, the door closes 396 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.720 behind the coyote. And they caught like five of them. And it was 397 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:15.880 still more so to aught to tell you how many were in my neighborhood. 398 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.359 And they catch them and I think they released them out in the desert land. 399 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:23.160 No, No, they released them in Altadena. I was going to 400 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.000 guess it was like, it's probably in that area where they would release them. 401 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.759 But what I was saying modes it is crazy how growing up when I 402 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.039 remember hearing about the coyote warnings was always into walls area. Now I'm driving, 403 00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:37.200 you know, because I'm in Hawthorne, you're in England. We're seeing 404 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.079 the same one can see the same. There's signs and warnings in the city. 405 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.000 Yeah, it's crazy. The only thing worst would have like if there 406 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.319 was a bear, Like they hadn't see a mad right now. I don't 407 00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:49.000 know what I would do with that if a bear climbed in my backyard. 408 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:55.160 Honey, we're moving at that. I swear so nice. I see these 409 00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.759 coyotes and this is almost on the nightly basis. Sometimes if I'm heading home 410 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:00.880 early enough, I'll, like you call mom, say hey, don't take 411 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:07.480 the dog out, because there's a pack running around. But I leave them 412 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.839 alone now because they have already threatened me enough times to know not to mess 413 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.720 with them. They've left dead chicken parts, dead cat parts, this dead 414 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:19.519 animal parts in the front yard, not in anyone else's yard as a message. 415 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.559 That's like as a message, like a horse head in your bed. 416 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.240 Yeah, just like hey, we know you chase you know, little little 417 00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:33.799 Wilie, and you're gonna learn. Look, it's gonna get worse before it 418 00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:38.279 gets better than Unfortunately, something bad has to happen to someone's pet who's influential, 419 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:44.680 or even worse, someone's child before they realize how dangerous these coyotes are. 420 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.160 It's later with Mo Kelly caf I AM six forty.
