You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI Am sixty. It
is time for the Viral Load with Tiffity Hopps. Good evening, mister mo
Kelly. Let's get into it. So we have stories from TikTok, from
X and everything in between, stories about calling for change, stories about a
viral drink, and three cities getting a lot of attention. The first story
comes from TikTok and it deals with spotting something unusual. So people were on
TikTok. They were watching this user's live streamer or live upload where this person
was going through kind of the rigmarole of whatever it is that he was doing.
What he was doing isn't important. But what happened is while he was
essentially kind of cleaning out a fish tank, trying to fish out some things
from this fish tank, eagle eyed spotters on TikTok who were watching this video
so started to see something on the man's hands, and what they saw was
a faint white line in his nail bed on his fingers. Okay, what
they did is they stopped responding to what they were seeing about the fish tank.
That became a non sequitor. They didn't care about the content the man
was uploading. They were more interested in transmitting to him their fear and concern
about what was on his fingers. So these eagle eyed spotters decided to start
commenting and messaging this man, encouraging him to look at his fingers because what
they felt they saw was a sign of skin cancer. So they encouraged the
man to get checked out. He did. He scheduled an appointment right away
and found out that he was in had an early stage of melanoma on his
fingers. So TikTok can be very very helpful in this way. So I
guess a lot of people saw a bunch of utube videos and felt that they
were doctor enough to make some medical recommendations and save someone's life. They did,
and they happened to be right, which is the good thing about that's
the downside because now they're gonna take like they can diagnose anybody. Yeah yeah,
I mean, I'm sure nine times out of ten they'll be wrong,
but that one time was very very helpful. So kudos to those millions of
people who were watching and those who reached out to this guy. His username
is razous, and good luck to him and his cancer. Battle. The
next one has to deal with Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is now in the
European leg of her international tour. She's still touring. She's been touring for
they of her career, it seems, and she's in Europe now touring.
This is how she makes her bread and butter. She can't buy all these
jets for nothing. She was touring literally last year. She was touring literally
last week, it seems. But she's back on tour. She's not here
right now. She's in Europe. She'll be back soon enough. And she
was in Paris. So she's playing this huge arena, it's the Parti la
Defense Arena. She's there, sixty seventy thousand seats. And again, eagle
eyed spotters, these people are really really good at finding things kind of in
the background as they're watching videos on TikTok or whatever social media platform. These
spotters noticed in the crowd a baby on the floor in the arena. Say
what exactly what happened was at this arena? There were these two parents who
paid for a ticket. All people, no matter the age, according to
this arena, have to pay for a ticket, and they took their infant.
They took their infant to a Taylor Swift concert. Wait a minute,
let me just stop there for a second. Loud Taylor Swift concert some things
if your new parents you just can't do. You might have to stay home,
You might have to let someone else use the tickets. And obviously you
bought the tickets, and mama was pregnant. I'd have to assume you knew
this day was coming. Something. Just the sheer decimals or decibel, excuse
me of the volume in an arena like that can deafen people with the best
hearing. Inexcusable, But go ahead continue. They subjected their infant to this
concert. Your judgment about Taylor Swift and her music be damned, but we
can all agree that a concert like that is way too loud. And they
put the baby on the floor. They made a little palette for the baby,
put the baby on the floor while they stood around the baby and enjoyed
the concert. People usually standing up and dancing and moving around. And people
were standing up and dancing and moving around. And this baby was on its
back on the floor while they were doing that. And here's the thing.
They probably would have could have gotten away with it if they hadn't or others
hadn't taken footage of this concert, like everyone does. You ever go to
a show, everyone has their phone out now makes it hard to enjoy.
But what they did is they uploaded the content in real time and people saw
and reported the arena. I bet so. I bet one or both of
those parents were also drinking. I probably I would agree with you. And
here's how I know. They were probably sheepish and you know, a little
guilty about what are feeling a little guilty about what they did. So the
arena actually responded and kind of doubled down on their policy and said that,
you know, they allow anyone into the arena, but they encourage infants to
not attend because it's too loud, and that they didn't have a part of
this. You know, they're trying to kind of get as far away from
this as possible. Well, two people identifying themselves as the parents of this
infant also responded on social media and they basically told people, hey, get
over it. We did it. Get over it. When does Child protect
the services come in? I mean, I know it's in Europe. I
don't know if the parents are American where they resigne, but whatever the European
equivalent of that is dangerment. There has to be there has to be something.
You see people who take children to concerts and they always have these huge
noise canceling headphones on, whether it's the children of the performer or a patron.
This baby didn't have any protective anything on. It was just there,
let alone and a sea of people where anything could happen. And we have
seen this happen time and time again. If you do it in public,
don't presume privacy. And if you do it in public, assume there will
be public commentary on what you do in public, absolutely, and people will
be watching. And if you upload this content, you will subject yourself to
the critiques and possible reporting by users on different social media platforms. When we
come back, MO, We're gonna again talk about a new trend and I'm
going to ask you and the guys a question about what you put in your
soda if anything, Oh, that's interesting. I'm afraid to ask what Mark
POTENSI and his so, so I leave that to you. I'll do it
when we come back. Part two of the Viral Loads. It's coming up
next with Tiffany Hobbs KFIM six forty Live Everywhere, the I heartradio app you're
listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from kfi AM six forty. This
is now time for part two of the Viral Load with Tiffany Hobbs. Here
we go. People add things to food and drinks all the time. You
might add alcohol, you might add some spices that are unusual, and certain
things can spark trends. That's if people agree that your taste is a good
thing to follow. Well, there's one woman on TikTok. She's from Mississippi,
a beautiful state. Her at name or username is Mississippi Mema. So
those of you who are from the South are familiar with the South. A
mema, you know, is a grandmotherly figure, and this woman does not
look like a grandmotherly figure at all. She's actually younger, but she goes
by this name to kind of signify old school traditions. And something that she
shared recently has gone viral. What she shared is that she puts wait for
it, she puts pickles in her soda, in her doctor pepper cut up
pickles. What she did is she goes to a sonic burger stand, a
drive through. We have sonics out here in southern California. They're mostly in
the South, and she goes to a sonic and she orders this drink.
Steph, can you play it for us? Do y'all white pickles? Do
ya want doctor pepper? Well, come, I only knocks me knocking and
show you some. So we at the neighborhood sonic. Let's see how long
it takes them too. They're pretty busy. Please, yes, ma'am,
I need to get a large doctor Pepper with pickles. All right, we
got a large after pepper with pickles, and you're gonna see this. Okay,
okay, thank you so much. Yeah, fam, and you have
a great day to day. We had a total of three Thank you,
thank you, Steph. So wait, yeah, was taking order obviously had
taken that order. Didn't even nope, didn't even question that, did you
say pickles? None of that. And in fact, we're going to ring
it up as cherries because we don't have pickles here in the in the register
on the screen, so we're going to substitute it. But you'll get your
sliced pickles in your doctor Pepper. So this might not be unusual for a
large segment of the population around the country, but for those of us in
southern California, it does feel a little strange. Another reason not to ever
live in Mississippi ever. I love Mississippi. I love the South. I
learned in visiting the South and talking to friends and family that peanuts also are
a common additive, whether in Doctor Pepper or I did a little bit of
research. They add spices and make it a massala type of coke. I
get the idea of making a soda spicy. There's a spice, a saltiness
to pickles. There's a saltiness to penis, I get. I get the
through line. All right, it's still nasty. It is unusual. And
Mississippi me Ma says to her millions of followers or this this has been viewed
and interacted with millions of times, the epitome of a viral video, that
this is it's wonderful. You should try it. And a lot of people
are weighing in, of course, with their their ideas about what should and
should not go and coke so Mo Steph twala. If you're listening Mark Ronner
over there in the news booth, do you have any unusual additives to your
soda or any other sort of common drink like tea or milk or anything like
that. I don't drink soda. And the only time I did drink soda,
this was years ago, I would use it as a mixer for Jack
Daniel, So I don't even do that anymore. I drink my Jack Neat.
Straight up. I don't drink soda at all. Even when I did,
the only thing I would put in it is liquor. So I can't
think of any type of additive to SODA's I've got an additive. I do
it all the time. It's not no, it's not and it's not crazy.
It's not crazy. That's what you say. Will be the joker.
Look and the kids will tell you everyone who's tried it, they love it.
It is called a flaming bird. Flaming Bird is the name of the
drink. And someone's going to steal this idea. I don't even want to
put it out there, but it is diet coke and horchatata or No one's
gonna steal that, Towa. I'm telling you nobody. Look, you will
go, you will go through a spot and and it will be on the
menu. Drink anytime I go to uh I will and sometimes I joke around,
said I want a flaming bird, And I said, what's that?
I'm like diet coke and her chatta. And you know what they say,
Oh sure, sure, sure you're problems that uh let tino drink. Did
you get it from? No? No, I got it because of my
affinity for at one point in time. Taken from Laverne and Shirley, milk
and pepsi okay, and a flaming bird. It tastes a lot like a
just like say, imagine like a milkshake. No, a milkshake just melted,
like like like a float, like like if you have if you have
a coke float and the ice cream has melted, it's just a creamy.
It tastes like a creamy uh coke. You have to use use diaicoke because
the horse chot of sweet. So if you used dia cooke, the hort
chotta brings it it just it makes the kick of the Dike coke subtle and
the sweetness and and then the taste of cinnament in there. I'm telling you
someone's gonna be like, yes, while I tries your flaming bird, I
would rather go to the d MV B three zero nine. That's just me.
I'd rather be in the DMV than ingest that toula. When you order
one of those that to drive through, do they say that's great, ma'am?
When are you do hardy? Don't step it hard? Don't you dare?
God, Look, that was just lame. I think it's perfectly reasonable.
Giving your ask, I'm going to the combination of those flavors that would
make sense. No, it doesn't. Anyone anyone who's had anyone who has
had a coke float will tell you that this has a good taste. But
the sad part is when the float starts to melt and I don't like that.
Yeah, I'm telling you you don't like it until you try fling to
drink it real fast. Now, the Flaming Bird, the consistency, it's
it's really good. You gotta get a good hor chada though you can't do
such a thing. Yes, what are the elements? It's God, it's
got the cream has to be right, it can't be too over pop.
I don't like well, okay, that's why. Look if I don't like,
I'm definitely not gonna like it. With with no, I get that.
Yeah, Okay, to Wallace point, I'm defending him because that that
actually makes sense because it has like a cinnamon taste. It's got a ricey
milk flavor, and then diet pepsi there is a cinnamon kind kind of already.
Yeah. See, now your stuff is coming out. See Mark,
I hate to agree with you on yet another thing, but I don't drink
pop either. I haven't for years and years. Well, of course not.
You call it pop, see how old you are, especially if you're
in the Midwest. Illinois, Michigan is definitely pop. Pop ever works out
for California. I did some hard time in the Midwest, so that makes
perfect sense. But I mean, when I first started a newspapers, I
used to drink cokes like chain drink them because coke and like PEPSI, has
a little bit more of a bite to it. But I've never added anything
to it. In the name of God, why would you do that?
No peanuts, No pickles. Peanuts. Yeah, people put peanuts for that
salty contrast. The only thing I've ever put in my soda, and this
is before they started actually making cherry coke. I would put a little bit
of grenadine. Oh in my coat, that sounds good too. Yeah,
that in a predated Cherry Coke. Then Cherry Coke said, hey, why
don't we make cherry coke exactly what it is. Yeah, they're gonna say,
why do we make flaming birds? Well, you take you better trademarket
I can't. So you're saying you drank Shirley Temples is what you're Yeah,
pretty much pretty much? Yeah, yeah, okay, but I'm an exotic
with it. Do you like a nice Roy Rogers something? When I was
a kid, I drank Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers. Correct, okay,
what is a Roy Rogers? It's grenadine and coke? Okay, thank you?
All these fancy Chirley Temple was coke and grenadine, but the Roy Rodgers
was like seven up in grenaedine. Shirley Temple is right right, yeah,
clear? And and grenadine. Okay, basic isola and grenadine. Both of
them are just foul unless you're a toddler, you know what, Mark,
Yeah, no no drinks for you. There no drinks for you. Well,
since I'm not expecting, I think shame on you. We're gonna save
the last two stories for next week, so we'll come back to them because
they'll still be fresh. Then they're taking on. Why don't we do it?
Why don't we just extend the viral loads? We can? We certainly
can. Look, you have to let some people know you're going to be
filling in in their future. Yeah, I'll be filling in on Friday,
June seventh, right here on the Later Show, Later with Kelly. I'll
be here. You're off, you have a day off. Mo know about
Twala's thanks. He's off, So I'll be here and we'll still do the
game. We'll still do the full format. I know the show. I'm
excited about it, and then if I don't do well, then I have
another chance to get it right. The following two weeks, June nineteenth,
twentieth and twenty first Wednesday Thursday Friday, I'll be filling in right here on
Later with Mo Kelly. Good luck because I'll be in another country, another
continent. I'll be here. You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty. It's Later with Mo Kelly. The extended Remix
dance version of the Viral Load with Tiffany House it has a little bit more
for us. Thank you. That's me DJing extended remix dance version. Here
we go. Have you talked about mo at all with friends or anyone this
installation that is in New York City and Dublin. Has that come up in
conversation at all? Oh? The portal? The portal? So what's going
on if you guys don't know, is that there is a portal. So
it's a two way or it's a camera. Basically, it's a camera,
big two way camera. It's an installation in both Dublin, Ireland and New
York City. And what it does is it's connecting the two cities through this
camera and each side can see the other. Now, of course, when
people can see each other, people like to be themselves in their full glory
and people like to be s well. What happened was earlier last week this
portal was unfailed. There's a company that installs these portals in different places.
They've been in Poland, they've been other places in Europe. They brought them
to New York and to Ireland and it's to allow people to connect again.
So these portals are set up again in Ireland and in New York and people
are looking at each other, and people started flashing each other. A woman
flashed her bare breast. So they do that New Orleans. They do that
in New Orleans all the time, but not not within this installation, which
was expecting and I don't know how they were or why they were, but
expecting to be a bit more civil and controlled. Oh, come on putting
it in a very popular party city like Dublin, Ireland, and then in
New York City where we Americans love to take our liberties, and so people
did. After about four days, this installation was actually closed down to the
public. It only existed for a fraction of the time. It's expecting to
go through the fall. They plan to reopen it after they kind of put
some more security measures in place. But one of the things that happened as
well is you started getting the real kind of vitriolic means, spirited interactions.
People in Ireland were holding worse. People in Ireland were holding up screens that
had pictures or videos of nine to eleven and showing New Yorkers that yeah,
absolutely they got have nice things. We cannot have nice things. And this
was on twenty four to seven. It was a live video link. So
right now it's closed down, the company plans to open it back up.
It has gone viral across every social media platform, millions upon millions of commons
and interactions, so you you will see this if you haven't already. And
their aim is to bring it to us city near you. I guess I
have to do it like radio and have a on a delay. Yeah don't,
but I'm made serious. No, they absolutely need that. In New
York they actually had security around it, not necessarily in Dublin, but the
security couldn't prevent people from still exposing themselves, yelling things that relude all sorts
of kind of this, you know, scourge of society. Why do we
lose our minds just because there is a camera or a screen in front of
us. I don't get it. We lose, We throw all caution to
the wind. We have no sense of better judgment. We don't. And
it's it's all about having that platform, whether it's a digital platform or a
platform right in front of you, a physical platform. People love to show
out. They show up and show out every time. Last story for this
extended mix of the viral load, there's a woman who went viral for talking
about the town she lives in. She lives in a small town. That's
not the story. There's small towns exactly. There are small towns everywhere,
but her small town is especially unique. It's in Alaska, and this woman,
Jenessa, exposed what her town actually is comprised of. There are about
three hundred and eighteen people living in this town. It is called Whittier.
It's a former US military base, not too well, whitty or Alaska.
You can see it from your house right. So in Whittier, Alaska,
in this city, the three hundred and eighteen people all live in one tower.
There's one excuse me, it's it's kind of a pocket that it takes
tower. It looks kind of the Eiffel Tower. It is a tower.
This is really cool. I've read about Whittier and there's one tunnel to get
to it here. Is it like the TV show Silo? Yes, but
not underground? Well, it is underground partially. The access, like Mark
said, is underground only. You can only access Whittier, Alaska through this
underground tunnel. The rest of it is above ground. But they are essentially
sequestered in this tower. They have their everything in the tower. They have
the church, a store, a building, office, a post office,
and there's a school across the street that is only accessible through an underground tunnel.
Is this a function of the weather for most of the year where it's
easier and safer to have everyone within this enclosed environment. Yeah, and Mark,
you seem to have heard and read or watched more about this, so
please weigh in with what you know. But from what I gathered, this
young woman, Janessa does talk. She says she's lived there for the last
seven years, but that weather is a huge factor for sure. Yeah.
I've been wanting to write a horror story about it for literally years. A
friend of mine told me about it a few years ago, and it's been
on my mind ever since. It's pretty good. Yeah, it seems like
it would lend itself to bad things happening when you have people hold up in
a tower months on end and their whole life revolves around that very limited space.
I don't care how big that tower is, it's not big enough.
No, And that's what's happening. On social media. People are weighing in
with their comments and their ideas and thoughts of course, about what could possibly
go wrong. A lot of it has to do with dating and people saying
that you're not going to be able to have any sort of tryst. No
sneaky, you arn anything, you can't exactly creep, you can't creep,
you can't creep, you can't do anything. And you're gonna hear the next
person Burt practically by the way that this is all situated. But you knew
the job was dangerous when you took it, when when you decided. Look,
if Janessa says that she's been living in Wittier, ask for the past
seven years, that's a choice. Yeah, you know, you could have
gotten your ass out of there at some point. It's a choice. She
loves it, she raves about it, which is something wrong with the people
were diss d' is a mudgy today. We didn't even say she was
single. Most she's a beautiful girl. She may be beautiful, but she
wants half in the tower. She's probably not all there, or she knows
something we don't know, and she's getting ready for something we should all be.
It sounds like some sort of a cult or something. We'll see if
Mark can write that movie fast enough, maybe it really sounds like a good
place for Vampires, doesn't it Thirty days of Night exactly, exactly absolutely twenty
days. Never mind, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and before we forget, got to remind you, you
know, we love to give away stuff here on Later with Mo Kelly,
but you got to keep listening. Can'f i AM six forty wants to give
you the chance to celebrate friendship and beyond at the Disneyland Resort. Pixar Fest
is back now through August fourth. Keep listening to KFI AM six forty and
Later with Mo Kelly for your chance to win a four pack of one day,
one park tickets to Disneyland or Disneyland California Adventure Park. I'm talking about
Together Forever, a Pixar Nighttime Spectacular, Better Together, a Pixar Pals Celebration
Club, Pixar Pixar Pals Playtime Party. You can see PixL par Pals at
Pixar Pier, the Festival marketplaces. There's so much that you can do at
both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, but you have to keep listening to
KFI AM six forty and Later with mo Kelly because we will have your chance
to win a four pack of one day, one park tickets to Disneyland Park
or Disneyland California at Venture Park. And also before we get out of here,
we had talked about well, I should say it's an ongoing conversation.
I make the point that there is no such thing as cancel culture. There
are consequences, there's capitalism, but not actual cancelation where people's careers end because
they did one thing wrong or they said something wrong, and there's this backlash.
I'm all for people being held accountable for the things they say, things
they do. But when they say so and So's career they've been canceled,
as in past tense, their career is over. That just does not happen.
Like, for example, if there's an event that is not going to
happen, like let's say we scheduled an interview. Hey, the interview with
so and so. It's been postponed. That's one thing. If I say
it's canceled, that means it's not happening at all. When you say to
me cancel culture, you're saying to me that they are done. They are
past tense and not coming back. It's more like postponed. People will take
a time out, they'll take a break and then they'll come back. They're
all sorts of examples. There is Nick Cannon, he said a lot of
anti Semitic things. Look at him now, it's just watching him on the
MASD Singer. His career is doing better than ever before. We've talked about
Mel Gibson similarly, his career now. I would say he's on the back
end of his career. So his star was never going to burn as brightly
as before because I think he's late sixties now. He was not a star
in essence. We talked about Will Smith, how he has a major blockbuster
which is in production right now. They're and they're shopping at the can Film
Festival which is coming up. He has Bad Boys four another example, and
we also said Kevin Spacey, just give it a little while, he will
come back. News broke today that Sharon Stone and to Walla Sharp's favorite actor
in the world, Liam Neeson, demand demand that Kevin Spacey be allowed to
resume his Hollywood career. Well, no one needs to allow him. They
just have to, you know, give him a chance. And what you're
seeing is that slow turn of the corner where eventually Kevin Spacey will be back.
When you have heavyweights like Liam Neeson, and let's be real, he's
a heavyweight. Sharon Stone publicly clamoring for Kevin Spacey to come back. It
doesn't mean that his star will shine as brightly as when he was. Frank
Underwood doesn't mean that doesn't mean that he will be the same as he was.
I mean, yeah, if you do things there are consequences. Will
Smith will not be the star that he was. He will still be viable,
he will still be able to green light movies, but he won't be
the Will Smith prior to the Oscar slapt Kevin Spacey won't be the same Kevin
Spacey prior to all of these allegations. Not that he was exonerated of all
of them. He wasn't. There were some that went away. There were
some that we understand that he allegedly paid off. But he won't be the
same star as before. But his career is not over. And you're seeing
the steps which are being taken to pave the way to allow Hollywood to say,
okay, we have permission to bring Kevin Spacey back into the public fold.
Now, if you run to another country, that's not canceled, that's
not being canceled. That's just your running. Roman Pulaski, it's different.
Okay, that's not being canceled. You're running, You're self canceling at that
point. But Kevin Spacey, he's just on the precipice of coming back.
There is I submit humbly, there is no cancel culture. There is capitalism.
And if someone thinks that you're viable economically, that you can make someone
money, then you will be back. It's just that simple. That's why
I keep Mark around. I think Kevin Spacey is not coming back so much
as Frank Underwood as he is Frank Groupenwood. Come on, no, come
on, no, no no. He has not been convicted of any such
crime, nor have I suggested those allegation. That was a completely satirical comment
covered by the first ten. That is a low blow beneath the bell.
There's there's a documentary about him in at least two parts. I don't know
if there's more or not on Netflix, and I came home last night to
a full report of it. I think maybe we all better check that out
before we declare anybody's coming back. He he also, I don't know if
you guys know, he also made an apology video under Yes he did,
and I actually liked it. It's like, Wow, he's in cares.
I was like, wow that was that took that blew me away. I
haven't met him, but he seems like a different, like they say,
a different type of cat. He's a different dude. He's more like his
character in seven than people want to admit. He's different. I'm not saying
he's a psychopath, but he's out there. Yeah, he makes us bed
a little bit differently than the rest of us. Just said it like that.
We'll see them all can if. I Am six forty Live Everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. We tried less stimulating top It ended poorly. K f
