00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:06.000
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:11.599
Let's talk tech with Marshall Carlier,
who joins me in the studio. Marshall

3
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.359
Caller, is great to see you. Happy summer. The weather is beautiful.

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.879
I hope your drive was a little
bit easier. Wait, we've got

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.920
to turn on our microphone. Hey, the weather's beautiful for what two hours

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.839
ago. I'll take it. I'll
take it. It's better than that June

7
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.679
gloom that we've been seeing. That
may gray. Look at that. Look

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:32.479
at that out the window. It's
sad. It's eight o'clock and you're still

9
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.640
light out. I know I love
that, I really do. I do.

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.000
Because you could see the plants,
the trees, the flowers in that

11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:46.320
Wonky building, the Warner Brothers building. Well, it's a beautiful looking building.

12
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.560
It's just nobody in it. I
just wonder what was the inspo for

13
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:57.359
the design. It's it's interesting.
You know some architect was paid very well

14
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.240
for the design. I wasn't that
person. So I don't know if I

15
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.079
can pass judgment. If you have
a chance to look it up, I

16
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:08.079
mean, it's it's kind of you. I'll post a picture of yes,

17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:15.000
please, I'll do please. Do
You had the opportunity to watch the Tesla

18
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.719
annual meeting. Now I did that
for us. Believe me, it wasn't

19
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.599
an opportunity, but it is.
When we talk about Tesla, they are

20
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.519
leading the way when it comes to
EV's and I would say, as Tesla

21
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.640
goes, so goes the industry in
many respects. Did we learn anything about

22
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.319
where Tesla was headed and where other
EV companies may go? Well, you

23
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.640
know, it was a little less
just about Tesla the car. It was

24
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.959
about what Tesla's got in mind for
the future. And I liked that because

25
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.000
I mean, it's got the car. Fine. Here was one of the

26
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.840
things Elon Well, first of all, you know, Elon did get his

27
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.040
gigantic salary. He did get it. He did get it, but that's

28
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.760
based on perform mormanths. So I
don't know that it's that horrible that he's

29
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.039
making a quack a billion dollars.
Well, they had from a stock valuation

30
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.680
standpoint, they had a really rough
year. Yeah, but it was originally

31
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.319
given to him in twenty eighteen.
So there's all kinds of legal complications that

32
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.400
I don't understand. I just say
good for him because I don't know anybody

33
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.000
else who would care to run a
company with so much stuff going on.

34
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.360
So he came up with one idea
which I thought was crazy, So not

35
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:38.840
really crazy crazy smart. Each Tesla
as a computer. It right, Each

36
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:44.719
computer are not it's not being used, it's parked in a garage. When

37
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.159
the Tesla is, you know,
around, the amount of computing power available

38
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.280
for it to do other things is
huge. Think about that. So what

39
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.960
if he built a network that people
would agree to that when you're not using

40
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:10.560
your car, Tesla could use your
computer for whatever. Think about Amazon web

41
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.879
Services. Amazon web Services generated twenty
five billion dollars. Okay, I understand

42
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:22.000
the practical application of Amazon Web Services. What I don't see as of yet

43
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.960
would be the reason to allow Tesla
the company to use that computer in the

44
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.800
car in some capacity beyond the car. He didn't talk exactly, but what

45
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.919
if they paid you? What if
they gave you a deal on a new

46
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.000
battery? What if? I mean, there is any number of compensations.

47
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.439
Also, he talked about a Tesla
fleet. Now let's say you're not using

48
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:51.159
your Tesla. Okay, uh,
you wanted to make money for you once

49
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.680
self driving cars. Get there,
push a button on your app, and

50
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.840
your car becomes part of the fleet
and become like an uber driver without a

51
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.639
person in it, and you make
some money that scarce the hell out of

52
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.759
me. Scares more than that.
That's right, we're both thinking the same

53
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.800
thing, but creative thinking. Well, he's already said that he wanted all

54
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.920
of his platforms, even including X, to be kind of one stop shops,

55
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:26.560
where it is a commercial marketplace,
an exchange of money banking and can

56
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.680
do more than what it's initially set
out to do exactly well, and that's

57
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.959
the thing. The cyber truck,
for example, right now, it's only

58
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:40.079
sold in the US. I saw
a cyber truck. This has nothing to

59
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.639
do with this, but somebody had
polished it up. You ever drive behind

60
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.839
an oil tanker with the polished back
and you could see a mirror finishes.

61
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.879
The whole car looked like that.
I don't like the look of the cyber

62
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.399
trucks, but I like the ones
that are they've either had it wrapped in

63
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.199
a certain er right, or like
a Matte black something like that. I

64
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.040
like, we said, Matt black
one just right. I don't like the

65
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.680
stainless steel aluminum, half dish,
half done. Yeah, you know,

66
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.439
have you finished that car? Can
you put put a little polish on it?

67
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.519
Something? Just like the Deloreans.
If you're old enough to remember the

68
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.759
Deloreans, they looked fine when they
first came off the lot, but they

69
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.720
did not age or get or they
did not age well as far as the

70
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.839
look of that stainless steel. And
for those of you who don't remember the

71
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.040
Deloreans, if you watched Back to
the Future Michael J. Fox and Back

72
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.519
to the Future, that was Doc's
car and it was a beautiful car.

73
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.600
Yes, and you know, I
definitely go out with any guy who had

74
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.600
one at the time. Yeah,
you know your husband sitting right there.

75
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.000
That was so long afo, but
I'm still here. You know, I

76
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.839
don't want to hear about them.
Well, you know, it was a

77
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.800
long time ago. But they are
going to expand, expand the cyber truck

78
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:59.399
past the US, but they'd have
to do it totally redesign for Europe and

79
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:04.680
Chinese markets and there will not be
an international one before the year. Did

80
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.279
I read this right? That they're
starting to market the cyber trucks to law

81
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.319
enforcement, that they would be used
in a law enforcement capacity. He did

82
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:17.040
not talk about that, but I
think what a brilliant idea get those little

83
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:24.439
protesters. That's Marcia Colliers, she
said that. Marcia said that could get

84
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:30.439
me in trouble. No, I
just in whatever. If policemen need something

85
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.079
that looks like an armored truck,
well, I always talk about always think

86
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:40.120
about the practicality and utility of it. Does it provide a purpose? Does

87
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.759
it serve a purpose? Yeah?
Yeah, it would help. You know.

88
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.720
I wasn't about any protesters in particular. I'm talking about helping the police

89
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.600
get done what they have to get
done. And police, you know,

90
00:06:53.720 --> 00:07:00.480
have never really had anything since the
Crown vic that they used the Ford interceptors.

91
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.879
I think for the most part,
those are ubiquitous, they're just about

92
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.959
everywhere. But something like a cyber
truck, I would love to hear someone

93
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.079
from law enforcement say yeay or nay
on that as far as whether it could

94
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.879
be used or how it would be
used. Real quick, before we go

95
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:24.120
break, he did talk about the
Optimists his robot humanoid helper robots, and

96
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.519
I'm sitting there listening to it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll be

97
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.920
all able to customize the personality,
customize the voice, and we'll get to

98
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.959
know you as well. No,
and that's the story they gave me.

99
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:41.319
Sony gave me on My Robot Dog. That really it's But anyway, when

100
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.839
he finally said wouldn't it be great
to have your own C three po,

101
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.040
he totally sold me right there.
Well, there's C three po and there's

102
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.800
I Robot and that could go either
way, right, But that's the thing.

103
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.439
It probably starts out a C three
po, then all of a sudden,

104
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.000
it's I Robot and is trying to
kill you. Yeah, there's that,

105
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.639
But maybe if you're just really nice
to it, I don't know,

106
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.399
I don't know. See, that's
the thing we'll find out or can turn

107
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.560
into the determinator. It's Later with
mo Kelly can if I Am six forty

108
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.360
one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to talk about WWDC twenty

109
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.560
four, the Apple Developer Convention.
In just a moment. You're listening to

110
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.800
Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty Now. Marsha Collier,

111
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:33.039
I am not one of these Apple
fanboys like maybe Mark Ronner. Okay,

112
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.960
I'm I don't have anything Apple in
my life, but I understand the

113
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.080
importance of Apple to some people.
I make it very clear. I'm a

114
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.799
Google guy, I'm an Android guy. But the WWDC twenty four Developers Conference

115
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.759
is still very consequential, and that's
why I try to watch it, and

116
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.320
I, you know, I want
to see what they're doing. Maybe they're

117
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.240
doing something fabulous that I'll be jealous
of and will make me go to the

118
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.320
other side because I too, am
an Android. I write books about Android.

119
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.559
I love Android, so you know, and especially having a pixel phone,

120
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.799
Google drops all their tests and secret
stuff on us. It's immersing,

121
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.279
yes, yes, we get it
first. If it doesn't work out,

122
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:30.559
then it disappears. Is the Apple
experience improving? When I say improving,

123
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:35.240
there's certain things that the Google experience
can do or does differently than Apple,

124
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.399
and if you like those things,
you tend to be an Android supporter.

125
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.600
Obviously Apple has a very loyal fan
base, but in terms of software innovation,

126
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.000
I would say for the most part, they tend to trail Google.

127
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:58.480
They do lead the way in hardware
innovation. Okay, okay, well let's

128
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.080
talk a little turkey here. Let's
talk about this. First of all,

129
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:07.960
everything was the big deal was all
about AI AI AI AI. How there's

130
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.080
going to be AI And this all
reminds me of how do you remember when

131
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.759
everything was going to be five G
five G everything? Oh? Yeah,

132
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.519
that does Did you know that if
we continue on the track we're going by

133
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:31.480
twenty twenty seven, the calculated energy
usage will be the same annual energy as

134
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:39.360
the Netherlands just by AI, A
whole country's worth of electricity being used just

135
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.919
to push AI. If they go
through with all of these things. Now

136
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.639
we don't have a grid that's holding
barely everything together that we need. But

137
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.600
hey, you know you can't have
a gas pool heater anymore because electric electricity.

138
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.519
Right, So there's that, and
that's a subject for another time.

139
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.480
But yes, everything was on AI. It can help write emails, reports,

140
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.320
personal text messages, but I don't
need help with that. I don't

141
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.320
want help with that. So where
does that This was just a hypothetical general

142
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:20.519
questions. Where does that? What
does that mean for me? It means

143
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.559
they get to read your stuff,
point because they have to read it to

144
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:30.960
then offer an alternative. Yes,
someone from the station was coming down in

145
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.960
the elevator and they got to pop
up from Google. And I'm sure you're

146
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.240
seeing them too. And it's about
Google AI. Want Google AI to help

147
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.320
you. What do I do with
this? I said, push it down,

148
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:45.440
don't agree to it. Just don't
don't let it infest your phone because

149
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.080
once, once it's out of the
bag, it's kind of like herpes.

150
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:56.279
It sticks around. That is an
interesting analogy. I wasn't quite ready for

151
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.440
that. I thought you were going
to make some sort of grandiose technological paris.

152
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.519
It is like this era of the
industrial resolution. No, it's more

153
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.120
like Herpe's. Yeah right, it
just doesn't go away, keeps coming back.

154
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.919
But anyway, so the AI is
going to be everywhere. It can

155
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.240
fake voices, it can do all
the things that I really have no interest.

156
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:24.759
It'll draw pictures for you, which
is great. I guess that's coming

157
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.720
right now with Google Gemini under Google
Phones, which I keep saying no to.

158
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.159
You may not be a Marvel fan
like we are, but I know

159
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.559
Mark and Toula would get this.
There's this line line see, oh,

160
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.639
that's right, that's right. There's
a line in Age of Ultron where Ultron,

161
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.679
this super AI robot, basically is
saying that humans have this this substance

162
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.879
called vibranium, and the only thing
that they can think of is to turn

163
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.120
it into a Frisbee, which was
Captain in America's shield. Yeah. Yeah.

164
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.639
The comparison I'm making here is like, Okay, we have this AI

165
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.279
technology in capability, but we're just
making pictures with it. We're not really

166
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.480
seemingly trying to do anything. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't kid yourself.

167
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.360
Don't you think the government's been I'm
just talking about us, you know.

168
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.600
I was like, oh, let's
make a I take pictures of Donald

169
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.919
Trump or whatever. We're not.
Oh yeah, and it'll cook your meals

170
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:26.080
for you and everything. My goodness. Yeah, we're just scratching the surface.

171
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.440
It would seem. It would seem. But like we said, remember

172
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:35.519
the story of five G. So
there's a new Seri which is also driven

173
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.679
by AI, and it can set
an alarm late at night without waking the

174
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.679
person sleeping next to you. Wait
wait wait wait doesn't Google do that already?

175
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.919
Yeah? Okay, go ahead,
continue, It'll clean up your photos

176
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.159
the AI wait wait wait wait wait
doesn't Google photos back up? Doesn't I

177
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.960
do that already? Well? These
abilities are on Pixel and Samsung phones,

178
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.000
but it will remove unwanted people.
Wait, wait, my Google that's called

179
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.120
magic eraser. Yeah, okay,
all right, okay, but with Apple

180
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.919
Intelligence, you can also search for
photos with more natural search terms, like

181
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.360
pics of Gina riding a skateboard.
I'm pretty sure I can do that on

182
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.159
my phone right now. Yeah,
and kind of Google Photos. Yeah.

183
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.720
We've been able to do that for
years. Okay, okay. Now they're

184
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:28.799
having something brand new called gen Moji. You might think of something we might

185
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:35.559
know as emoji Kitchen when it takes
to emojis and mashes. Yeah, yeah,

186
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.919
that's what it is. It's pretty
exciting. When one an eggplant writing

187
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.480
a cheeseburger, you can probably put
that together. Okay, but an egg

188
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.159
plant is not an egg plant in
the world of emojis. Egg plant,

189
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:54.080
right, never mind? Never mind? Okay, you know anyway, you

190
00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:00.480
can also customize your home screen.
Wait wait, you couldn't custom is your

191
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.159
home screen on an iPhone? Mark
Ronner? Can you customize your home screen

192
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.080
on an iPhone? It does not
interest me the least bit, but I'm

193
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.279
excited for people I've never tried.
It's never occurred to me. Okay,

194
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.120
Robin, you say you can customize
your iPhone home screen? Is that correct?

195
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.360
Yes? Okay, what what does
that allow you to do? What

196
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.639
is the extent of the customization.
It's not very extent. Okay, all

197
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.759
right, I have a wallpaper and
I get to move apps around. Oh

198
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.600
well, I got twelve o clocks, which is so cool. We have

199
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.399
all sorts of widgets we could put
there. We could actually put a different

200
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.639
launcher on top of it if we
want to all together, different home screen.

201
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:54.840
Yeah, we could move but multiple
we're talking here about Apple, and

202
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:03.559
Apple has a new os Sequoia or
Max, and they're improving the watch and

203
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:10.080
oh it has a new passwords app. I thought we like Google has a

204
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:15.279
passwords maniture. We have Google passwords. Yeah, but this is going to

205
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:21.720
allow them to generate strong passwords for
all their logins. Okay, welcome to

206
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.960
twenty and fourteen. But okay,
okay, tapp to cash, Smarter air

207
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:34.559
pods, and Primetime TV plus.
It's the same thing as Amazon Prime Video

208
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:42.960
but feature. Yeah, all right, and so for all on the Apple

209
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.360
stock. Oh and the Vision Pro, there's a new edition, even bigger

210
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.679
and better. We we covered the
Vision Pro and wasn't ready for prime time,

211
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.960
so maybe it's ready for afternoon.
So there you go. And Honestly,

212
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.639
I am not laughing at Apple.
I think Apple did great work in

213
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.119
the days of Steve Jobs, and
I think he would be spinning in his

214
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:11.599
grave. And here's the thing.
Steve Jobs had an understanding of ingenuity and

215
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:17.960
innovation. I don't know, and
I'm not an Apple fan, so I'm

216
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.319
speaking as an outsider. I don't
know if they have the same type of

217
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.960
innovation material innovation that I just get. I just get really happy every time

218
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.240
my phone comes up with a new
thing and I'm going to try it.

219
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.119
I try I answer a phone call
and before I get to it, it

220
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.480
answers for me, Hello, this
is Marcia. I love this. I

221
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.319
love this, and it asks who
it is if there's no phone number.

222
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.319
And now, just so you know, the next thing they're adding in is

223
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.200
they will run the phone number to
see who that is that's calling you,

224
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.079
because you know, sometimes you don't
answer a call and you always wonder who

225
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.720
is that person? You go and
look it up on Google. Yeah,

226
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.720
yeah, no, it'll do it
right in your phone now. But you

227
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.000
know that's not to say that Apple
won't come up with it soon. Look,

228
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:10.319
I'm thinking maybe twenty thirty two.
They're in there Marshall Collier. I

229
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.440
have to go, but I appreciate
you coming in and letting us know that

230
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.920
we're not missing anything on the other
side of the of the technological world.

231
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.680
But I still want to hear from
all of you and listen to my podcast

232
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.359
on the iHeartRadio app. Just search
Marsha Collier and you'll find me in between

233
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.720
the mo Kellys. That was pretty
smooth. Gotta do this all the time.

234
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.079
It's Later with mo Kelly, caf
I AM six forty. We're live

235
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.440
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're
listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand

236
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:45.079
from KFI AM six forty and SpaceX, another company under the direction of Elon

237
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.640
Musk, is in the news.
SpaceX has been sued by engineers who were

238
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:59.960
fired after accusing Elon Musk of sexism
a case of wrongful termination. The engineers,

239
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:06.000
four women and four men, claim
Musk ordered their firing back in twenty

240
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:11.319
twenty two after they circulated a letter
calling Elon Musk a distraction and embarrassment and

241
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:18.839
I quote also urged executives to disavow
sexually charged comments he had made on social

242
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.039
media. The lawsuit was filed in
state court here in Los Angeles. Let

243
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:29.319
me just stop there. Those are
the general specifics. And we live in

244
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:34.799
a world now and also an employment
environment post me too. And also we

245
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:41.319
had this social media aspect where it's
not just what happens in the office,

246
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.640
but also what happens outside of the
office on social media. The world,

247
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:51.599
the work world is very different now
than when I started back in the early

248
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.799
nineteen nineties. It's just different.
I'm not saying that it's worse. I'm

249
00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:00.079
just saying it's different how And I
have some general rules, like I do

250
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:07.599
not comment or compliment women on how
they look. I don't want anything to

251
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.880
be misconstrued. That's just me and
for other people. In fact, I

252
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.680
was talking about this. I was
kidding around with Bill Handle when I was

253
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.880
speaking to him earlier this morning,
when I was doing a hit with him.

254
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.200
But it's a conversation topic that does
come up often in the office where

255
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:26.880
those lines are, where those boundaries
are. And some people are of the

256
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.319
opinion, hey, if you're not
doing anything wrong, you have nothing to

257
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.559
worry about. But it's not just
what you say, it's how it may

258
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:38.640
land, how it may be received, just because you, in your mind

259
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.079
may think Hey, that's a nice
looking dress you have on. It accentuates

260
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.680
your curves out of the guy's mouth. He may think that's a compliment.

261
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.319
I it's a woman. She may
think it's he's being a pig and it's

262
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:59.319
offensive and it's worthy of going to
HR. I'm at a different point in

263
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.599
my career than I was in my
twenties, and I'm quite sure I said

264
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.240
some things working in the music industry
that I can't say today. I'm pretty

265
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.920
sure I can't remember off the top
of my head, but I'm pretty sure.

266
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.920
Let's just say I did. And
Keana, you are at a different

267
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.759
point in your career and you're working, i would say, relatively near the

268
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.920
beginning of your professional career, and
you are doing it in a post me

269
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.960
too world? Is there a line
for you? And I know you're not

270
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.039
speaking for all women, I'm not
saying that, but are there things that

271
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:34.599
you notice or that you find offensive
or is there like a general rule book

272
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:41.480
that you follow when dealing with other
coworkers? Usually there is a line for

273
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.799
me, like I can joke around, I can mess around. I feel

274
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.200
like I have that like sarcastic radar
on myself where I'm like, I know

275
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:53.160
when somebody is doing it as doing
something as a joke or not, and

276
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:59.200
when that joke pushes the line a
little bit. And so in instances where

277
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.960
some might be complimenting me, but
complimenting me in a way that makes it

278
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.200
like something that my fiance would tell
me, that's a little too far.

279
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.200
Okay, let me go back to
the story. The lawsuit says that Elon

280
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:21.359
Musk's conduct fostered a pervasive sexist culture
at SpaceX, where female engineers were routinely

281
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.720
subjected to harassment and sexist comments,
and the concerns about workplace culture were ignored.

282
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:33.720
Senior engineers, for example, used
euphemisms for sexual acts and male genitals

283
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:38.519
to describe rocket components. According to
the lawsuit, I know when you work

284
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:45.640
in entertainment, it's a much more
loose environment. Perfect example, I was

285
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.640
kidding with Marshall Collier in the last
segment on air about eggplant emojis, and

286
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.000
if you don't know what that means, well you need to go Google and

287
00:22:53.039 --> 00:23:00.119
catch up. But I'm saying you
still have to be mindful in the these

288
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.359
work environments. That's different now,
and I wouldn't say that there is a

289
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:11.319
pervasive sexist culture across all workplaces.
But I have worked for some places where

290
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:17.839
it definitely existed, and that was
even before me too, And I wonder,

291
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.359
you know, like, for example, I don't do hugs. I

292
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.640
don't do hugs in the office.
Some places they do, some people they

293
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.079
feel comfortable with it. I don't
because I'm always concerned about something being misconstrued.

294
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.920
So I always defer, and I
err on the side of caution.

295
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:37.319
I don't know, Mark, what
about you, in your many years and

296
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.240
working in various newsrooms and environments.
Well, Bethany hugged me earlier, and

297
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.880
I'm wondering if if I should sue
her. Well, as funny as that

298
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.119
is, there's a lot of truth
to that, I will defend Bethany,

299
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:56.200
She asked. She asked, she
did get consent. My general rule is

300
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.960
I try never to motor boat women
in the office. How's that is that?

301
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.559
Okay? What is motor boating?
Nothing? That's what I thought.

302
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.920
No times has changed. I remember
my first newspaper, people would routinely walk

303
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.640
around and give shoulder rubs, and
that's not a thing anymore. Look,

304
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.680
when I worked in the music business, the stuff that they talk about now,

305
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.240
what is going on at SpaceX.
To take it back to the story

306
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:23.480
is nothing in comparison what we were
dealing with in the music industry. I

307
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.279
won't tell you the person's name,
but there's a guest who I work with

308
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.440
in the music industry, and she
was telling us the story off air of

309
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.920
how she was working for a music
executive. Remember when we talked about Puff

310
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.359
Daddy Diddy and all the stuff that
you know was going on years ago.

311
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.200
It's I don't be surprised now.
Well, she was telling us a story

312
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:47.039
about a music executive and I think
it was her boss who asked her to

313
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:52.920
come into the office and he laid
his Johnson on the table to proposition her

314
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:59.359
subtle that's called Tuesday or it was
back then. You know, the world

315
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:03.559
has changed so much you think that's
unthinkable. Now of course that says,

316
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.160
of course that's harassment. Of course
they should sue. But it was so

317
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.079
pervasive and permissive back then. Just
right on the table, Yes, literally

318
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.079
slap a dictionary down on top of
it or something. You the first part

319
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:22.279
of that word is correct. Yes, Well, I'm looking at the photos

320
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.000
of your rocket now and I'm not
saying Elon Musk isn't a creep, but

321
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.359
you know that these rockets, they
do look an awful lot like uh well,

322
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.079
if you look at Blue Origin most
definitely Oh whoa, yeah, please,

323
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:38.279
I'm being serious Now. That doesn't
mean that it's then okay to have

324
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:47.960
fallus jokes in the office all day
long to either intentionally or unintentionally make people

325
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.720
uncomfortable. I'm not saying that.
I am saying that it's probably more widespread

326
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.880
than people are willing to admit,
you know, and I and I appreciate.

327
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.599
I just had a conversation with the
cod work or today asking about some

328
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.680
other things where the line began and
ended with certain things about race. And

329
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.079
I appreciate that, if only because
the more you talk about these things,

330
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:14.119
you bet have a better understanding for
one another. I don't know what this

331
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.119
workplace environment was at SpaceX. I
do know that there seems to be a

332
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:26.720
pattern and a consistent complaint about places
like SpaceX and Tesla regarding real permissive work

333
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.400
environments. That's all I'm gonna say. Because this is not the first type

334
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.599
of lawsuit that we've seen come out
of SpaceX or Tesla being directly attributable to

335
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.160
Elon Musk and then how it works
out in the court is how they work

336
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:47.920
it out in the court. But
Wednesday's lawsuit accuses SpaceX and Musk of retaliation

337
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.400
as I was saying, and wrongful
termination in violation of California law, and

338
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:57.119
further accuses the company of sexual harassment
and sex discrimination. We'll see what happens

339
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:03.319
later on. But I I think
this is an ongoing conversation as far as

340
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.400
the obvious stuff we probably all know. You know, just remember Elon Musk

341
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:12.119
is a visionary genius. He is. He is. Keep that in mind.

342
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:15.400
He is, or at least so
I'm told, he is infallible.

343
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:21.559
He is perfect, absolutely godlike.
Yeah, yes, and kind of a

344
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.839
creed. Maybe the next president of
the United States, I think not.

345
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:27.000
Well, it doesn't matter if he's
a naturalized citizen. You know, the

346
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:32.279
Constitution doesn't matter anymore. Oh yeah, did you know? Oh yes,

347
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:36.440
that's true. I guess I looked
away for a moment. Sorry, it's

348
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:40.359
later with Mo Kelli Cafi AM six
forty. We are live everywhere on the

349
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:41.960

to break, I got to tell you

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:48.279
about this. Don your favorite sun
hat, dapper bow tie and floaty floral

351
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.559
dress and come on out to the

six forty dot com, forward slash
Polo to enter with Kelly six. We're

362
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:57.000
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and
we have heard you loud and clear.

363
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:03.160
You want more stup mo tricks.
So I guess going forward, there's going

364
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:10.319
to be more stupid Mo tricks on
social media. And if you're tuning in

365
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:14.160
just now or you're coming late to
the show. Earlier in the show,

366
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.440
I was just reading that it was
completely spontaneous, it was completely organic.

367
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.119
I said in the third hour that
we would talk about how the twenty twenty

368
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:29.160
four Olympics is going to debut high
level breakdancing. And it got me thinking,

369
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:32.359
well, I should have tried to
compete. I should have gone to

370
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:34.519
the Olympic trials. Maybe i'd be
in Paris right now. And so I

371
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:37.759
said, you know what, I
want to see what I still have left

372
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:42.319
in the tank with little breakdancing.
So I went into the kitchen a hard

373
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.960
linoleum floor, pushed back the tables, and I said, let me just

374
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.640
let me just see if there's a
little something there. So we put up

375
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:56.319
a video on Instagram at later with
mo Kelly at mister mo Kelly, you'll

376
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:59.880
find it in both places. And
then it got me really thinking, it's

377
00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:02.440
like, wait a minute, breaking
was not even my real thing. It

378
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:07.720
was pop locking. And so we
waited at the next commercial break, we

379
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:14.480
waited for Mark Runner to finish his
news and then we walked into the news

380
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.240
booth to bother him to show him
what pop locking was, show him how

381
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.640
it was done. So there are
two videos up right now, stupid mo

382
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.759
tricks at later with mo Kelly at
mister mo Kelly on Instagram and you can

383
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:33.839
see the videos there and you can
go ahead and mock me. No mockery

384
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.640
happening. I could have done much
better with the break dancing, you know,

385
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:40.279
and I might have to do another
round of that in a day or

386
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.720
so. Always sprung this on you. Well think of it this way.

387
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:45.279
People were saying, like, Oh, you're gonna have to get a back

388
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.599
surgery, You're gonna get hurt,
You're gonna break your hip, I said,

389
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.279
But people don't know. And this
is not a boast, This is

390
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.400
just a fact. One. I
stretch every single day, and I asked

391
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:59.799
more of my body when it comes
to hop, keto and martial arts.

392
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.519
So breakdancing is nothing. I'm doing
mattwork more times than not. So getting

393
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:08.720
on the floors is not a big
deal or anything. I'd be more concerned

394
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:14.279
if I hadn't tried to stay in
shape for the past twenty thirty years.

395
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:17.960
But I've you know, I've always
been mobile in that regard. Well,

396
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.880
I got it. I gotta wait, Mark, I have the next thing.

397
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.359
I got the next thing you just
brought to my mind. Let's get

398
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:29.160
some boards and me. You would
Mark do a board breaking combination? Do

399
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:30.319
you leave me the hell out of
that, dude? No, Mark,

400
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.200
we can. We can do some
serious board breaking competition. That would be

401
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:38.240
awesome. Wait, board breaking,
yes, not breakdancing. No, break

402
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.240
boards no, yes, line up
boards three four? See it was.

403
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.000
Let's let's go through them. Yeah. I don't mind breaking stuff, but

404
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.759
let me tell you my main issue. When you came into the news booth

405
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:51.680
and started moving around like that,
I thought I was getting a lap dance.

406
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.039
No, because if you're going to
get a lap dance, you'd have

407
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.799
to pay it up front. Okay, well, now I know you gotta

408
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.440
put the money in my cheese string. I had nothing to talk. I

409
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:09.880
don't carry cash. I gotta start
bringing cash to work, don't Marky.

410
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:15.519
Mark can be as fun as he
wants to be. But he uh Moe

411
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.480
put the moves like you would not
believe. And that is not an exaggeration.

412
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:24.440
So make sure to check out later
with mo Kelly on Instagram because he

413
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:29.039
threw down. Hey, I got
a lot of mo. I got a

414
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:30.200
lot of mo. There's more where
that came from. So we have to

415
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:35.240
think of more stupid mo tricks to
do. I don't know, the breaking

416
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:37.680
boards is cool thing. Maybe I'll
come in and do some spin kicks or

417
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.319
something or really now that I might
hurt myself doing trying to do too much.

418
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.279
Yeah, yeah, you can definitely
put yourself out with that strikes first.

419
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.759
No, look, let's kicks,
some sidekicks. Do you know some

420
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:54.920
pound strikes? Yeah, we should
do We got mark, got any suggestions,

421
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:59.200
none that I can say on the
air. And no, we're not

422
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.599
going to do spicy foods and milk. No, I've already been through that.

423
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.519
Not a taste test, that's a
dip test. I really. I

424
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:15.119
mean, if you remember that story
about me burning myself on the hot food

425
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.920
and having to soak and a carton
of milk. I didn't talk about the

426
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:22.119
size of the carton or anything juvenile
like that. I wanted but stop myself

427
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.319
from putting the milk on the desk
where the coffee machine in the newsroom was,

428
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:30.039
because that is how mature I was
back even way back then. So

429
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:35.240
you were did you not just hear
the nail on bus store? Well,

430
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.160
this is that was you in the
news. Now, this is way back

431
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.640
when people were still walking around giving
each other's shoulder massages in the place.

432
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.200
So a little bit of a little
bit of used milk, you know,

433
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.039
back then, and I'm always it
like the late nineties, I guess nobody

434
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.799
would have beat a E. Look, I was trying to explain to folks

435
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.160
you were weren't in the studio.
I don't know if you heard Twalla,

436
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.359
but we were in the business in
the heyday of the time of the business.

437
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.920
The stuff that's happening now pales in
comparison. It's not even I'm not

438
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:06.960
dismissing it. I'm just saying the
stuff that we saw, and I saw

439
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:13.320
female colleagues endore. Oh. I
mean, look back in the day at

440
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.360
the Beat, it was the wild
wild West. The things that were happening

441
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.079
didn't matter. The gender didn't matter
matter. There were things that some of

442
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.239
the young ladies on the street team
that they would do and you're like,

443
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:30.719
oh, Keith Doki. They would
literally be out. I remember being out

444
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.480
on the street team hit and one
of the ladies that were on the street

445
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:37.800
team said, Okay, all you
women out here, you're not doing enough

446
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:43.960
to win these tickets. Let me
let's go Martin Grass style. Let's see

447
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.480
let's see who's got the best flat
and they were just having women flash and

448
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.599
getting you know, applause from the
audience to give away tickets seeing that happen.

449
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.280
So it happened live. Yeah,
so that's how we used to do.

450
00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:01.119
Yeah, I would tell my Emine
story. I just can't tell it

451
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:07.599
anymore because they probably wouldn't be received
in the same way. Oh, shooting

452
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:12.840
him out, Yeah, it was
almost well, okay, try real quickly,

453
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:19.320
real quickly. I was working for
Interscope Records and this was I want

454
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.480
to say, maybe two thousand and
one issue. Whenever Eminem had come out

455
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:27.920
with this first album. We went
to this Impact convention which was in Miami,

456
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:30.519
and I was working for a guy
by the name of Kevin Black.

457
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:34.239
He was one of the original promoters
of Death Row Records. He was very

458
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.519
different. He sounded like wolf Man
Jack if you ever listened to him,

459
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:42.320
but he had a very very raw
personality. There was nothing that he wouldn't

460
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.519
do to help promote a record.
And we were promoting Eminem's first album.

461
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:47.880
So we went to Impact and we
had all these DJs from all around the

462
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:52.880
country and my job was to go
get the talent. Well, if you

463
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:59.079
don't know what that means. That
means get the higher the entertainment for the

464
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:04.400
evening performers, the dancers, however
you want to characterize it. On this

465
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:07.800
occasion, I also had to come
up with an idea for promotion. I'm

466
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:14.039
not proud of this, it's just
the truth. There was a contest where

467
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.119
we had all the DJs, I
want to say, maybe twenty to thirty

468
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:20.880
of them lined up in a room
in the room the lights are on,

469
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:28.199
okay, and the contest was you
had the talent the dancers that I procured

470
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:30.599
locally, because it would have been
a federal offensive. I got them from

471
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:36.079
out of state. They were local. The contest was any one of the

472
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:45.519
dancers who could bring the DJs to
happiness full joy first. Each person would

473
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:49.559
get a thousand dollars. Yes,
full completion. If I am six forty,

474
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.480
we live everybody. I heart radio. At we tried less stimulating talk.
