WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.040 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI AM six forty. 2 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:14.919 Next contestant Daniel Strom. The word is business. Could you repeat the word 3 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:28.760 please business? Could I have the origin of the word please. It comes 4 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:37.359 from the Latin phrase busnia. Could I have the definition please business one's work 5 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:45.280 or employment. Could you use it in a sentence? Please business? I'm 6 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:54.560 in the insurance business. Could you spell the word please? No, it's 7 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.560 late with bo Kelly k if I AM six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeart 8 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.079 Radio app. I was never good at spelling bees, I admit it. 9 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:11.159 I am always amazed at children who excel in spelling bees. That was just 10 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.280 something. If I can see the word on paper, I can realize, 11 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.359 Okay, it looks incorrect. I can figure it out. But if you 12 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.799 ask me to verbally spell words, I was never really talented at doing that. 13 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.159 I never did well in spelling bees. And even though generally I'm a 14 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.920 pretty good speller, but the pressure of the moment and all the Latin roots 15 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:36.319 and different words that to learn from different languages to understand the words that they're 16 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.680 asking you to spell, never good at it. So I always like to 17 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.319 take a point to take a moment and point out kids, young people who 18 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.439 are doing well. Whether they win ultimately or not, it's neither here nor 19 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.040 there. I'd like to shine some light on young people in Los Angeles and 20 00:01:53.120 --> 00:02:00.280 Orange County. Some contestants who are unfortunately eliminated today, but they did didn't 21 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:06.359 make it to the Script's National Spelling B quarter finals as of yesterday, and 22 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.560 they were eliminated to today. Oliver Hackett Halkitt, a twelve year old sixth 23 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.159 grader who attends their Murman School in Brentwood, Brentwood. I'm having trouble just 24 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:24.000 pronouncing stuff today. Brentwood misspelled dissonant descendant, an adjective meaning forming an end 25 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:30.520 is correctly spelled d e s I n e n t. And Kitlin when 26 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:37.280 Kaitlin, Yeah, Kaitlin Kitlin when, a seventh grader at Helen Stacy Middle 27 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:43.960 School in Huntington Beach, unfortunately was eliminated because she misspelled Ritsu or Ritsu a 28 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.599 Buddhist school founded in Japan in seven point fifty four. Who the hell knows 29 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:54.000 that stuff? But she spelled it ri t zu and it should have been 30 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.719 spelled Ri t s U. I wouldn't even be able to compete against these 31 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.759 sixth graders at all, not at all. I even like in a spelling 32 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.280 quiz that I took in like second grade, that was difficult. I got 33 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.319 nothing but props for these kids, and I'm quite sure they will go on 34 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.960 and grow up to do great things. But there was one word and I 35 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.439 noticed in this story. And I'm going to bring Mark Ronner in on this 36 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.080 because I think he and I do see a lot of the world the same 37 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.199 way. We have the same sense of humor and cynicism in many ways. 38 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.639 In the third round, this is Oliver Hawkitt, twelve years old, sixth 39 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:36.280 rader. I know you can't guess what word they asked him to spell, 40 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.960 but it doesn't seem like a word that would be in a spelling bee. 41 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:50.000 In the third round, Oliver was asked to spell doxy cycling. Okay, 42 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:57.599 what kid isn't on that. I'm just saying, it's a strange word to 43 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.800 ask a child to spell. I'm just looking it up right now. Uh 44 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.879 yeah, kids should know about that stuff. It's never too early to learn, 45 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.680 right, all right, It's like, use doxy cycling in a sentence. 46 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:17.319 Well, after going to the doctor for some unnamed std John was prescribed 47 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:23.480 doxy cycling. Don't ask me how I know that, Mark I doxed somebody 48 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:28.399 while cycling. It just seemed like that word just came out of nowhere for 49 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.560 no apparent reason. Yeah, but they do that. They're a little bit 50 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.240 like Jeopardy. I you know, I thought I was kind of a language 51 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.319 nerd, but then they throw one in there that the real gunners who just 52 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.920 like sit there with the dictionary for days on end. They can get them, 53 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.959 but it'll throw a normal human being a serious curve, Like is that 54 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.720 even an earth word from English? No? Well, not a lot of 55 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.480 the words are not English based. I don't know if that's always been the 56 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:57.199 case, but they have words from with derivations and all sorts of languages. 57 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.920 I'll give you a perfect example. Caitlin in the third round was given the 58 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:06.439 word derber and I think that's or drbar d r bar like him derber. 59 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.600 Well, it's a court held by an Indian prince, or a formal reception 60 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.399 held by an Indian prince or an African ruler. So obviously that word is 61 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.959 not based in the Romantic languages, or not English at least. Oh yeah, 62 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.000 I would have totally pooped the bet on that one. Yeah, I 63 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.480 mean, and I'm quite sure it's more difficult now than when I was in 64 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.040 school. They've had to make it even more difficult. And I think they're 65 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:39.279 down to twenty eight remaining spellers if I'm not mistaken, And the spelling Bee 66 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.959 is limited to students in eighth grade and below, So Oliver and Caitlin are 67 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:49.759 so darned smart they'll be able to participate again because they're still not in eighth 68 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:55.000 grade, so they'll have another bite at the apple, you know, just 69 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.480 in case you didn't know, No speller from Los Angeles or Orange Counties has 70 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.040 ever won the National Script Spelling Bee. I would imagine that these things would 71 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:09.560 get easier instead of harder, because kids don't have to memorize anything anymore because 72 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.199 they have the Star Trek computer with them in their phone at all times. 73 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.839 Well, you would have to wonder who is cheating and how are they cheating, 74 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.720 because cheaty goes on in every aspect of these types of competitions, not 75 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.120 spelling, I'm just saying, just competition generally. I remember the first time 76 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.399 I heard that someone was cheating at the soapbox races. Remember that they have 77 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:39.079 the Soapbox races Derby, and the Derby cars would be coming downhill and someone 78 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.319 had installed magnets on the front of the car so when the gate flipped down, 79 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.360 it would pull the car forward and have a slight advantage at the beginning. 80 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.480 What's wrong with people? You know? But hats off to anyone who 81 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:58.279 enters a spelling bee who does well in a spelling bee. I don't know 82 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.040 how well to Wall didn't spelling bees. He probably did better than me. 83 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.240 I'm being serious. That was just something I never was really accomplished at and 84 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:11.079 I wanted to. It's but the pressure, my goodness. It's one thing 85 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.040 to try to spell a word, but most of these words I haven't even 86 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.800 recognized. In the fifty four years of my life. I've never seen that 87 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:23.360 word before. Durbarbar. I think there's some courage, and it's one of 88 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.439 those things where you think it's easy when you're sitting there on your couch, 89 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.079 but there's no way you could do it in real life. It's this is 90 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.399 more difficult than Jeopardy because I've had friends who were drilling for the bee and 91 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:39.639 the amount of information they have to to digest. It's amazing. That's why 92 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:44.319 that movie bad words, it's so prevalent. Well, yes, it's so 93 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.839 true. Well if you ever saw the movie Aquila and the Bee, that 94 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:54.079 was also a good spelling bee movie starred Lawrence Fishburne. And what's her name? 95 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.519 Uh? The one? Yeah, girl, the girl's popular and I've 96 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.720 interviewed her. She's no, No, she's in Nope. Yeah, I 97 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.800 know that she's in Nope. Key. She had a whole thing with Usher 98 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.120 a little while ago. Yeah, I know you know her, you've seen 99 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.920 her. I know I'm googling. Made a big impression on you. Yes, 100 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:22.839 Palmer, Yeah, yeah, that's how she actually got her start. 101 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.480 Fush is a spelling me champ. Who why, doggy dog? I mean 102 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:37.919 you are? Yes? Why did you not like a national champion? We 103 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.679 had a whole conversation about the spelling Bee and you didn't. Yes, he 104 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.879 was conveniently quiet over there. You didn't add that to the conversation. Oh, 105 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.480 by the way, mo I am a spelling bee champion. Yeah, 106 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.000 because that's what it would sound like the time point. This is the time 107 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.480 you play that card right now, this is the ace you play it, 108 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.679 play the ace. Well, no, no, he's a shamed that he 109 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.759 didn't become famous like a rock star and get a big heroin habit and everything. 110 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.000 He's got a normal working job now, and that's not the trajectory for 111 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.360 a spelling d champion. Okay, I gotta ask a question first, a 112 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:15.919 few questions before we go to break. How old were you ten? Did 113 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.120 you get a lot of play from the girls afterward? Absolutely not really, 114 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.440 no thought you'd be like a rock star. No. Then it was like 115 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.679 uncool to know stuff, so you were looked at as like a geek or 116 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.000 a nerd or now it's cool. Yeah, it was segregated back then. 117 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.519 Yeah, yeah, it was. It was. It was a it was 118 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.960 a difficult time for nerds. It was uncool to know stuff. Yes, 119 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.960 no, honestly, yeah, yeah, agreed. Yes, they made a 120 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.759 whole movie based off of the problem with knowing stuff, Revenge of the Nerds. 121 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.639 Right, you'd never heard of you even? Yeah, even twenty one 122 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.879 Jump Street the movie when they redid it, they come back and uh, 123 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.519 you know, Channing Tatum is like the cool guy, but then when they 124 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.039 came back, you know, as undercover students, he was the uncol guy 125 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.639 because he was trying to be cool. No, one got mad at you 126 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.320 Mark for messing up the bell curve. Just bring on the meteor, Just 127 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.960 bring it on? Can you saying just quitting in life on Earth? Yeah? 128 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:16.840 Yeah, back then you didn't catch that. You didn't know that term. 129 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.799 No. Oh, well, since you a little bit younger than us, 130 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.480 are our nerds still despised, hated and bullied? I No, I 131 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.399 don't think so. Okay, when you were growing up five years ago, 132 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.679 five years ago, when I was in college, Yeah, sure, it's 133 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.519 all relative. Five years ago, I was like, here, it's Later 134 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.320 with mo Kelly. Can if I AM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio 135 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.879 app. We have some dollar Tree ninety nine cent good news when we come 136 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.399 back. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six 137 00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:01.759 forty. You may remember ninety nine cents Only recently closed hundreds of stores nationwide 138 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.480 because it filed for bankruptcy. And I had a favorite ninety nine cents only 139 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.639 store. It was one that I used in Harbor City where I was growing 140 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.360 up, and when I got my first apartment in Torrents, not too far 141 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.000 from Harbor City, bought everything from ninety nine cents only if you're going to 142 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.440 furnish an apartment. Outside of furniture, you go to the ninety nine cents 143 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.200 only store all the cleaning items. If you needed a mop ninety nine cents 144 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.960 only store. If you needed like candles, or you needed dishrags, towels, 145 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.960 ninety nine cents only store, needed a broom, ninety nine cents only 146 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.159 store, it was perfect for that. So I had a lot of fond 147 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:46.200 memories of just becoming a real grown ass adult thanks to the ninety nine cents 148 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.919 only store. And I had recently spoken to the CEO, I want to 149 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.639 say, maybe two or three months ago, and we talked about that store 150 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.879 in general, how long it had been, because it had been at it 151 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.840 for at least forty five fifty years or so. And to see that it 152 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:05.080 was on the list of stores which were shuttered closed, you know, almost 153 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.279 dropped it tier just about. I got sentimental for a second. But Dollar 154 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.000 Tree is reportedly the winning bidder for at least ninety three different ninety nine cents 155 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:24.519 only store locations all around California, and most of them reportedly are here in 156 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:30.080 southern California. The bids and the undisclosed terms are a subject to court approval, 157 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.679 so this is not a done deal. And you may remember most of 158 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.480 the stores were closed a week ago after the discount sales way. And did 159 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.159 you see some of the pictures. It was really sad. It was sad 160 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.799 because they were I mean, what is a clearance sale at a ninety nine 161 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.559 cents only store? Everything in the store is just a nickel. I don't 162 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.879 know where you go if everything is on sale at the ninety nine cents only 163 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.320 store. I never got a chance to go by and check it out, 164 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.799 but I was curious to know. But it at least seventy stores which were 165 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.360 closed were on that list from southern California, everywhere from Alhambra to Wittier and 166 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.879 in between. And in the company release ninety nine cents, interim Chief executive 167 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.480 Officer Mike Simonsik, who I said I had spoken to, said shifting consumer 168 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.159 demand, rising shrink, or theft as they call it, and the pandemic 169 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:28.919 quote presented significant and lasting challenges in a retail environment. Rising levels of shrink, 170 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:37.639 persistent inflationary pressures, and other macroeconomic headwinds all greatly hindered the company's ability 171 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:43.639 to operate, and Dollatree has did you know that Dollatree has another major competitor. 172 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.759 I didn't really know this. Did you ever go to Dollar General? 173 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.159 Yes? Is it is that southern California based? I don't know, and 174 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.600 I can't really I don't recall any difference among all of them. Yeah, 175 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.679 I don't go ahead. No, I don't know either. I've heard of 176 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.559 it, but yeah, Dollar Store was my spot, but a lot of 177 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.080 people that aren't from here know about Dollar in General. Yeah, I guess 178 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:13.799 maybe it's maybe it's more eastern or southern focus. I just don't remember seeing 179 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.639 what another couple where I'm from, Okay, up north them, Okay, 180 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.919 well maybe that's it, yeah, because I mean it was just Dollar Tree 181 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.720 or the ninety nine cents only, and oftentimes you would see them within a 182 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.679 block of each other. They're like right next to each other. And from 183 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:35.759 what I understand, it's a marketing thing where it's not unusual to see a 184 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.519 McDonald's and a Burger King really close to each other, because the marketing and 185 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.879 the demographics have already shown that fast food in that particular location will work well. 186 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.720 So maybe that translates to the whole discount shoppers where if you put one 187 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.480 store there. The clientele is already open to that, so put another one 188 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.600 there. But yeah, I would always see a nine nine sense only in 189 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.240 a Dollar Tree, very close to each other. I always thought like Dollar 190 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.879 General and Family Dollar were closer to like a grocery outlet, yes, than 191 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.440 like a dollar store. That's like how I thought it was like comparing the 192 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.840 two. Now. I remember back in the day, ninety nine cents only 193 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.799 had food as well. I don't know about Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree started. 194 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.120 They have freezers, but they don't have like the fresh vegetables and stuff 195 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.440 like yeah, yeah, but they still have like the freezers and they're like 196 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.159 pantry goods and stuff. Okay, Mark, I've never eaten any of the 197 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.399 food from those places. And there was one I used to go out and 198 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.879 go to to get postal supplies because when you have to buy an envelope or 199 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.960 a patient ripe or something like that, at the post office they got you 200 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.480 over a barrel, but if you go they're dirt cheap at the dollar stores. 201 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:50.679 But so I was always kind of fascinated by the food and the freezers 202 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.360 in the back, but never wanted to roll that gastro intestinal dice. I 203 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.639 remember the first time I saw milk at the ninety nine cents only store and 204 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.480 I said, there's no way in hell. Yeah, exactly, because there's 205 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.679 no way they're getting Why. I know, with with grocery stores, they 206 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:10.360 almost like have a pecking order how they get food they get, especially when 207 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.240 it comes to produce. There's an order in which they get to choose to 208 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.519 produce, and I have to assume that they're not getting the freshest milk. 209 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.600 I'm just assuming that, you know, it's probably expiring in twenty five minutes 210 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.600 from when it hits the shelf. Now, if you want to try the 211 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.639 food their planet before you got a couple of days off work, I just 212 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.960 couldn't trust it, you know. I just never and I'm barely starting to 213 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:36.080 trust Target barely on some items. Target is turned into a quasi grocery store 214 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.879 as well. That's interesting because Tuala and I just off air had a discussion 215 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.919 of some Target food he got that apparently had some explosive repercussions. I'm saying, 216 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.000 that's my point. I said, I'm not quite there. I'm just 217 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.240 just getting kind of comfortable with Target. There's certain things that I'll open myself 218 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.759 up to buy from Target. Like maybe why yeah, whose is safe and 219 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.399 you can disinfect it with the booze you can well, or at least in 220 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.279 the movies you can, yeah exactly.

The best part about this the more you 264 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.519 seek to shake it up, try new things, and venture into new horizons 265 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.920 physically, mentally, spiritually beyond. The more you will grow and the faster 266 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.559 it'll happen in the next two years. Don't sit in the shadows, don't 267 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.160 get complacent.

If you're single or have an unhealthy connection, you could be licking 272 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.839 your wounds around trust, vulnerability, neediness, or past relationship traumas. You 273 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.599 may be feeling a bit down on yourself and a little bit lonelier. The 274 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:57.319 best thing to do dig deep within yourself to understand your true needs so that 275 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:03.519 you can find more enriching and intimate connections. Libra. Partnership is always important 276 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.640 to you, Libra. However, the past few weeks have created an intense 277 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.680 need for union. The best thing to do right now. Glad you asked 278 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:15.440 work with a significant other and embraced teamwork. Setting off solo at this time 279 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.519 will make it feel like you're encountering hurdles at every turn, but by finding 280 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:23.599 the right personal or professional partner, you will rapidly move toward happiness and your 281 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.680 goals. Also, be aware of tension bubbling behind the scenes in a relationship 282 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:32.359 or with a competitor. It could be grading your nerves, so try to 283 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:37.839 find peaceful solutions. Scorpio, here you go, Twala.

Productivity and efficiency are top priorities 286 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.200 in order to achieve it all. You may feel like there's a lot of 287 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:53.799 pressure coming at you from your workplace, employment, or clients. If you 288 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.119 seek to get a lot done, Fortunately, you should feel a surplus of 289 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:03.240 energy.

Well, seeing as how I'm 298 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:45.680 married and you're engaged, going to get married in months that I I mean, 299 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.359 you can, but it might mess up the relationship. But back to 300 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.799 this, you're setting up a two year cycle around love expression and enjoyment. 301 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:59.559 So make all of this a top priority now, Capricorn, And this would 302 00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.200 apply to miss Tiffany Hobbs, who's coming up with the viral load at the 303 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.640 top of the hour. Tiffany, Capricorn. You always have a domestic focus, 304 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.599 but it is even more top of mind now. It appears there's a 305 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.599 lot of hustle and bustle around home, family, real estate, or domestic 306 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.839 matters. It has been building all month and it is even more of a 307 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.960 focus now. This may appear in the form of moving, renovating, redecorating, 308 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.480 or handling situations around living experiences. You may also be forced to get 309 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.319 involved in some big family matters, like helping a parent or one of your 310 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.759 kindred tackle a goal, channel that energy and allow it to give you strength. 311 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.319 Is that accurate?

Well the chariot they mentioned first, 316 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.799 Stephan is his uber. Well. They also said that he'd probably be 317 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:04.400 looking for a new job soon, so that kind of attracts. Did it 318 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:11.319 really said? Yeah? Chasing professional goals out? God? No, I'm 319 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.279 still here, Robin, I'll you.

No Tuala gets jealous. So 322 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:27.079 Aquarius. Life has been a whirlwind in recent weeks, Aquarius, and it 323 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.720 still feels that way. You're likely experiencing a very social period with friends, 324 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.319 neighbors, or siblings. In addition to a lot of travel to This week 325 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:38.599 would be a great time to visit a nearby destination or even play tourists in 326 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:44.240 your own town. The more that you go with the flow and embrace spontaneity, 327 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.039 the more fun you'll have. Also, if you've been involved in any 328 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.680 big intellectual projects, they will likely see a successful launch if you fine tune 329 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:59.079 the details now. And lastly, Pisces.

Fortunately, if you use this time now to balance your budget and 336 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.519 look for ways to increase your monetization, you too could be in quite a 337 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.279 bit of good luck coming your way.

It's later with bo 340 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.200 Kelly, can't I am six forty We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 341 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.640 And on the other side, we're going to go cruise in and We're 342 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.440 going to tell you about the passenger who died jumping off Icon of the Seas, 343 00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.799 the Royal Caribbean ship, the largest one in the world. Sad story, 344 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.640 really sad story, or maybe it isn't. You'll decide. You're listening 345 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:08.480 to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI AM six forty. This story 346 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.920 about the passenger who died jumping off the world's largest cruise ship had to do 347 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:19.119 with Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas. The male passenger, who was not 348 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:26.240 as of yet identified, reportedly jumped from the twenty deck high from the very 349 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.160 top of the Icon of the Seas. That's the largest cruise ship in the 350 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:37.160 world, had its maiden voyage earlier this year, and this person jumped from 351 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:42.359 the twenty high deck twenty deck high after it left a Florida port on Sunday 352 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.440 to embark on a seven day cruise around the Caribbean. I've been on that 353 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:52.039 cruise with Royal Caribbean. I know what it's like, and it would seem 354 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.319 like you would want to If you're going to do it, Why jump at 355 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.759 the beginning of the cruise, jump at the end. At least have something 356 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:02.000 to go out on if you're gonna if you gonna go up with a big 357 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:07.160 splash to go at the end. And I think it's probably someone who unfortunately 358 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.799 took their own life, because that's that's the only reason that you would actually 359 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.839 jump from the top deck. And this is what the report is. The 360 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.279 person jumped, not sell overboard, not got drunk and intoxicated and lost their 361 00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:26.240 balance. On all these cruise ships, I would say the railing when you're 362 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.720 on the top deck, especially with Royal Caribbean, they come up, I 363 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:34.680 would say to the average person to about their chest. You have to try 364 00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.680 to get over. And there are certain portions if you ever been have you 365 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.440 ever been to the Empire State Building. People used to jump there a lot. 366 00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.440 But in New York City, if you go to the Empire State Building, 367 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.960 they put these bars up top which curl in word so you cannot climb 368 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.200 them and climb over and then throw yourself down to the pavement below. Some 369 00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.240 of the cruise ships now they have something similar where it's it's really a deterrent 370 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:06.160 for anyone to try to do that, but they can't protect everything on the 371 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:12.039 ship. And Royal Caribbean, which operates icon for the seas, they launched 372 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.759 a search and rescue operation for the person. They say, quote, our 373 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:21.319 care team is actively providing support and assistance to the guest loved ones during this 374 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.319 difficult time. For the privacy of the guests in their family, we have 375 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.400 no additional details to share. Customarily, when you go on a cruise, 376 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:34.440 you don't go by yourself because sometimes they'll make you pay for double occupancy because 377 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:38.640 there's limited room. Where like if you're gonna go by yourself, like, 378 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:44.720 well, it's two to a cabin, so you're gonna have to pay double. 379 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.839 It doesn't say whether this person was traveling by himself or not. That's 380 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.599 something I would know. They don't give that information. They just say that 381 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.559 this person just jumped. And I know that we were talking about mental health 382 00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.720 and athletes earlier in the week, and who knows what's going on in someone's 383 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:06.079 mind. But this is something I always wonder anyone who should think about choosing 384 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:11.240 suicide, who would you want to find the body, Who would you want 385 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.559 to burden that person with for the rest of their lives. Who would you 386 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:22.400 want that to have to deal with that memory, that image? And the 387 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.079 reason I talked about this as far as this person going alone. If this 388 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:32.559 person actually went with someone on the cruise, oh my goodness, what do 389 00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:37.640 you do? Is day one of the cruise and whoever you travel with jump 390 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.319 to their own death. And I know, Twala who's walking in the studio. 391 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.119 He only wants to walk in here to say another reason why he will 392 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.880 never get on a cruise ship. I know, just hurr up and say 393 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.599 no, no, no. Actually, my thoughts on this, and something 394 00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:56.880 that I was thinking about was when we look at the individuals that were jumping 395 00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:03.799 at the Disneyland. At Disneyland jump on through, is this something that being 396 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.880 that as it's being reported, that more people will look to do because it 397 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.960 seems obviously from reading the story that this was intentional, that this was this 398 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:19.480 man's intent, and could this then spark a new trend in suicidal tendencies for 399 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:22.119 individuals? That was what jumped out of me first. I was like, 400 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:27.160 Wow, this individual sought out this cruise to do, not just any cruise, 401 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:33.440 the tallest largest cruise ship on the waters currently. And when you look 402 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:38.920 at how the first jumper at Disneyland sparked more or influenced more, what will 403 00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.680 be done in the terms of possibility but the difference is, and I'm not 404 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:45.799 trying to be flipping, I'm just being serious. I can drive to the 405 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:52.200 Disneyland parking structure tonight with really no effort, no deterrent. To get on 406 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.519 a cruise ship, there's a lot of booking and planning that's involved. You 407 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.519 have to do a lot submitting your passport and all that kind of stuff. 408 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.839 You just get on the ship saying nothing of the thousands of dollars that you 409 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:08.240 probably paid. That's that's the disconnect that that I just don't understand where it 410 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:15.200 would have been easier and simpler if that was the goal to just do something 411 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:21.039 else. I And again we don't know that we don't say to this individual, 412 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:26.720 but it seems that if you go through all of this, that you 413 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.519 wanted your death to make an impact, You wanted your death to be seen. 414 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:36.559 You didn't do this with the intent of it just going under the radar. 415 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.599 Yeah, And as just you know, as a disclaimer and as an 416 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.920 advocate, like, please, if you are contemplating suicide, there is people 417 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.000 that want to help there, please reach out. You can text the suicide 418 00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.160 hotline, call the suicide hotline and let me find the number. I had 419 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.359 it right here. It's nine to eight eight. So please, if you 420 00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.000 are contemplating it, you know people are out there that want to help. 421 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.440 So twalllet does this mean that you would at least consider a cruise? Now? 422 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.759 No, this, this has nothing to do with my apprehension. Call 423 00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:19.599 it an outright fear of deep dark water. There's no business that I have 424 00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:22.680 on any cruise ships, not this one, not the Royal Caribbean, not 425 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:29.119 the Disney Cruise, not the Cruise Cruise, not the rebranded, reborn Titanic 426 00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:31.880 held to the no for all of them. Is it because you don't know 427 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.720 how to swim that? And I just have a sheer paranoia, a literal 428 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:43.319 fear of water like that. I don't even walk out on the pier at 429 00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:47.640 Santa Monica just because I look at that water and I'm petrified. Is it 430 00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.240 just the ocean or is it it's ocean lakes pool that's even like getting in 431 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:57.519 a pool and looking at the deep end, like going under our looking at 432 00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:59.720 the deep end. I'm out and I'm not getting back in the pool. 433 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.039 I don't know what it is. It's called a phobia. Yeah, I 434 00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:08.839 mean, like to me, ocean water lake stuff like that it might as 435 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:13.079 well be buzzing, might as well be a bee. Dad, Hey, 436 00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:16.279 don't bring my bees into this, all right? Uh, Stephan, don't 437 00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:22.960 reach the button. Look, I will walk into your studio and tear that 438 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:34.759 place up. Do not. Just let me know when you're done.
