Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And it's Wellness Wednesday. So that means Claudine Cooper Claudinkcooper
Speaker 2: dot com.
Speaker 3: Joins me in studio.
Speaker 2: Let me say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Hanukah's on the way,
Speaker 2: all of those happy kwansa eventually back to you.
Speaker 4: Good to see you all of the above.
Speaker 2: I mentioned that because since it is the holiday season,
Speaker 2: small age people are thinking about gifts that I know,
Speaker 2: even in your line of work, there may be some
Speaker 2: specific gifts that people may ask you about, or technology
Speaker 2: that people say, Hey.
Speaker 3: How about this? So what about this?
Speaker 2: How do you approach if at all, how do you
Speaker 2: approach gifts in your profession?
Speaker 5: As in people giving me gifts?
Speaker 3: All the above, take it wherever you want.
Speaker 4: Okay, well this is where I'm going to go with it.
Speaker 4: Just last week, a woman said, hey, Claudiine, guess what
Speaker 4: I asked for for my Christmas gift?
Speaker 5: I said what she said, A set of weights? And
Speaker 5: I said, oh, I love that.
Speaker 4: She said, I listened to you when you said put
Speaker 4: the weights in front of your TV instead of sitting
Speaker 4: on the couch. Just do some bicep curls, do some squats,
Speaker 4: and watch your shows. So I asked my husband to
Speaker 4: order me a rack with weights. I said, wonderful, that's
Speaker 4: an amazing gift.
Speaker 2: You sound almost almost convinced. Look you saw, you know
Speaker 2: how that story is going to end.
Speaker 5: You don't think she's going to use something.
Speaker 2: From the way you describe it seems like she will
Speaker 2: be fast out the gate for two weeks and those
Speaker 2: weights will move from in front of the TV too,
Speaker 2: behind the couch.
Speaker 4: I would ask your listeners if they have dumbbells in
Speaker 4: their home and if their dumbbells get use because I
Speaker 4: use my dumbbells at the house.
Speaker 5: I don't know about other people.
Speaker 4: But I heard somewhere that people let their dumbbells collect dust,
Speaker 4: but I don't know.
Speaker 5: That for a fact.
Speaker 2: I am more for isometric resistance training. I will do
Speaker 2: my pushups and core work on the floor, but in
Speaker 2: front of the TV, I'll get on the treadmill, and
Speaker 2: that's I do the most work. When I'm just watching
Speaker 2: a movie, I can watch two hours and get a
Speaker 2: pretty decent workout in.
Speaker 4: Because basically your treadmill is set up in an area
Speaker 4: with your TV correct. So you just get your workout in,
Speaker 4: but your mind is on.
Speaker 2: I need to take my mind somewhere else. If you
Speaker 2: say go downstairs and put it in an hour working out,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it. Okay, go downstairs. Watch
Speaker 2: this new movie on Netflix. It's an hour and forty
Speaker 2: five minutes long. But you get at least an hour
Speaker 2: in on the treadmill. Do your what I call warmed
Speaker 2: up stretches. I try to stretch after I'm warmed up.
Speaker 5: That's smart, that's very smart.
Speaker 4: In fact, you know, I was kind of giving the
Speaker 4: advice of stretching every day, but I was thinking about
Speaker 4: it after, you know, giving the advice.
Speaker 5: I was like, ooh, let me think about this.
Speaker 4: You want to make sure your body's warm when you stretch, right,
Speaker 4: and so now with the weather changing, it's a little cooler.
Speaker 4: You might get out of the bed. It might be
Speaker 4: cold in your house, or maybe that's just my house
Speaker 4: because I keep a cold house. But you do want
Speaker 4: to be somewhat warm when you stretch. You want your
Speaker 4: muscles to be malleable when you start moving around like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I usually I'll stand and lean against the wall to
Speaker 2: stretch out my achilles I'll keep my heel on the
Speaker 2: floor because I'm not trying to tear my achilles in
Speaker 2: my old age.
Speaker 5: I'm just not Have you ever torn your achilles?
Speaker 2: No, I've torn my calf muscle, which is close enough.
Speaker 2: Yes it is, and there's nothing like it.
Speaker 5: How long was the recovery on that.
Speaker 3: Month and a half? Yeah, no surgery, month and a half,
Speaker 3: natural healing, natural healing, Okay, And it was a month
Speaker 3: and a half before I could walk normally again. Wow,
Speaker 3: but yeah.
Speaker 5: Your body did what your body can do.
Speaker 2: But I was thirty something at a time. I don't
Speaker 2: know if i'd be able to do that now at
Speaker 2: fifty something.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, Well, anyways, we don't want to find out.
Speaker 2: No, but I say that to say that's the only
Speaker 2: stretching I do before I get on the treadmill. Those
Speaker 2: are important, and I also do some squats so I
Speaker 2: can just make sure I'm not doing anything which will
Speaker 2: lead to injury. After I get off the treadmill, then
Speaker 2: I'll sit down on the floor and do what I
Speaker 2: call dynamic stretching, where I'm stretching legs and trying to
Speaker 2: increase flexibility.
Speaker 4: Right, so you know, I teach a stretch class, and
Speaker 4: we also have other mobility and recovery classes. And one
Speaker 4: of the best ways to work out your body or
Speaker 4: to stretch out your soreness is to use some kind
Speaker 4: of tools. So as we start talking about gifts, you know,
Speaker 4: it's good to think about these kinds of things too.
Speaker 4: I just ordered a box for the Gem of forty
Speaker 4: massage sticks.
Speaker 5: Have you heard of those? Yes, you have one.
Speaker 2: I have one of those battery operated massagers.
Speaker 5: Oh like the gun thing, the.
Speaker 2: Gun thing, I think it's there a gun And I
Speaker 2: wish I would have discover this ten years ago because
Speaker 2: I'll get up in the morning after working out the
Speaker 2: day before. My my hamstrings are always super tight. Put
Speaker 2: that their gun on the back of my leg. It's
Speaker 2: like altering. That's a life, my whole life. I can
Speaker 2: just feel my hamstring just uncurling. Yes, yes, and so
Speaker 2: that would be another gift, right. These are all little tools.
Speaker 4: So the Thera gun or for those who are listening,
Speaker 4: you would say, it's like a handheld massage device. And
Speaker 4: they come in all different brands, but their gun is
Speaker 4: an expensive brand by the way, you know, because mo
Speaker 4: is bougie.
Speaker 2: Yes I am, but I didn't always have one. What
Speaker 2: I used before was a rolling pin.
Speaker 5: Okay, so that's what I ordered.
Speaker 4: So they look like, uh, this is called a massage
Speaker 4: stick and they come in all different kinds of sizes
Speaker 4: and colors and whatever whatnot. But it's looking like a
Speaker 4: rolling pin. And to be honest, I never used one.
Speaker 4: So the woman who does the mobility class had asked
Speaker 4: for them, and when it came in, I used it.
Speaker 3: Life change.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, you don't know until you do it.
Speaker 4: It's like what another tool, little secret tool here is
Speaker 4: a lacrosse ball, which you may not know is made
Speaker 4: of rubber. It looks like a tennis ball, but it's
Speaker 4: made of rubber and it grips down onto the floor
Speaker 4: pretty pretty easily. You can put your foot on it
Speaker 4: and roll the ball back and forth on your foot.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I usually do that on the corner of steps,
Speaker 2: you know, because I, yeah, I don't have flat feet,
Speaker 2: but my arches still are something that I'm very concerned with.
Speaker 2: And what's the when your when the muscle pulls away
Speaker 2: from the foot, is that the planter fa Yeah, And
Speaker 2: I've dealt with that over years, and so that, yes,
Speaker 2: I will use small balls and corner the steps and all.
Speaker 5: These different tools.
Speaker 4: Anyways, if you're looking for gifts that are home workout
Speaker 4: or home recovery tools, there's so many things out there.
Speaker 4: It really just depends on if you're gonna use it
Speaker 4: or not, or if you know yourself well enough to know, Hey,
Speaker 4: I need to actually go into the gym. I actually
Speaker 4: need to go to a class. I need a practitioner
Speaker 4: to rub me down. You know, some people need that.
Speaker 2: When we come back. Since we're ending this year and
Speaker 2: we're getting ready to start twenty twenty five, I'm quite
Speaker 2: sure you've probably seen or know of some trends in
Speaker 2: the health and wellness and training community. When we get back,
Speaker 2: tell us what's on the horizon, what are people talking about?
Speaker 2: What are people fancying and experimenting with? Can you do
Speaker 2: that for me? Oh?
Speaker 4: I know what they're fancying. I can't wait to talk
Speaker 4: about it all right. Cluding Cooper joins me in studio
Speaker 4: on This Wellness Wednesday. Kay, if I aim six forty,
Speaker 4: it's Later with mo Kelly. We're live everywhere on the
Speaker 4: iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: On This Wellness Wednesday, I'm joined in studio by Claudin Cooper.
Speaker 2: Make sure you check out Claudinecooper dot com for all
Speaker 2: of her wisdom, her sage advice, also her online workouts
Speaker 2: and also in person free community workouts. I'm quite sure
Speaker 2: in your business, in your work, that there are trends.
Speaker 2: People will move in this direction or that direction as
Speaker 2: time goes by. It's a new year. I'm quite sure
Speaker 2: there are new things that people are experimenting with. What
Speaker 2: are people talking about, what's the hot new thing, the
Speaker 2: hot thing going on.
Speaker 4: There's a few things, and you know, I feel like
Speaker 4: they were born out of the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So one of the big things is that there are
Speaker 4: more free offerings. Not only do I do a free
Speaker 4: workout in the neighborhood, but I also know that there's
Speaker 4: free yoga at Kenneth Han Park, there's free hiking groups.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of free off rings that I didn't
Speaker 4: see as much, let's say, ten years ago when I
Speaker 4: started my free workout.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: So the free offerings are something that not only is
Speaker 4: near and dear to my heart because I started a
Speaker 4: free community work on myself, but also because there are
Speaker 4: people who may not be able to afford gym memberships
Speaker 4: right or personal trainers, and this is a way for
Speaker 4: them to be active, but to also be in community
Speaker 4: with other people who want to be active. So for me,
Speaker 4: I would say, on trend is this kind of wellness
Speaker 4: hashtag fitness, and it's good that it's on trend because
Speaker 4: it's causing people to create these groups and these environments
Speaker 4: where you can get active with others.
Speaker 3: Do you ever.
Speaker 2: Find yourself just a little bit cynical where it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I know you you're not here for the long haul.
Speaker 2: I know you're here for the fifteen minutes. And this
Speaker 2: is new and the people who maybe walking to the
Speaker 2: gym was like, Okay, you're here for the club aspect
Speaker 2: that you're not here to work out.
Speaker 5: Oh no, don't.
Speaker 4: I'm citical. I don't think the best of people. Okay,
Speaker 4: here's the deal. The other day I was at the gym.
Speaker 4: I was talking to two of my old friends who've
Speaker 4: been working out with me for over ten years each,
Speaker 4: and they said, oh, here we go again, Claudine.
Speaker 5: Look at this ghost town right now. Nobody's in the
Speaker 5: gym right now.
Speaker 4: In three weeks it's going to be packed from the
Speaker 4: window to the wall, and I won't be able to
Speaker 4: get a spot in your class, and blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: And I looked at them and I said, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm going to say, Because they've been working out
Speaker 4: with me for a long time. This is my favorite
Speaker 4: time of year. I absolutely love when droves of people
Speaker 4: recommit to living a healthy lifestyle because I strongly believe
Speaker 4: unlike like you, you cynical.
Speaker 3: I am cynical, yo estoy cynical.
Speaker 4: Yes, I truly believe that there is a percentage of
Speaker 4: people who will commit for the long haul, and they'll
Speaker 4: start on January first or the first Monday in January.
Speaker 4: And I just feel so fortunate and so blessed to
Speaker 4: be able to have a passenger seat in the ride
Speaker 4: along that journey. And I've seen it happen so many
Speaker 4: times in the thirty two years that I've been working
Speaker 4: in fitness.
Speaker 2: In those thirty two years, have you seen an age
Speaker 2: demographic shift? Where when I was in my twenties, it
Speaker 2: seemed like most of the people were in the twenty
Speaker 2: ish range. We were very self absorbed as far as
Speaker 2: the gym. Now, it seems like as an outsider because
Speaker 2: I'm not a part of that gym culture. Now, it
Speaker 2: seems like that people there's a wider age range.
Speaker 4: Well, you came to the gym the other day with me,
Speaker 4: and you saw the various ages. You saw older people,
Speaker 4: you saw young, young people, teenagers. I have been pleasantly
Speaker 4: surprised to see such a vast and diverse group of ages, ethnicities,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 5: Abilities.
Speaker 4: So last week I had a guy come to my
Speaker 4: stretch class and he is in a wheelchair, so he
Speaker 4: put his wheelchair towards the back of the room. He
Speaker 4: hoisted himself out of the wheelchair. He used the stretching
Speaker 4: tools to stretch his legs. It was well at the
Speaker 4: end of class. And I can tell this story because
Speaker 4: he told it in class too. So at the end
Speaker 4: of class, we always go around and all of us
Speaker 4: kind of introduce ourselves, just to create a more strong
Speaker 4: sense of community, right, And so we get to him
Speaker 4: and he just said, I feel so fortunate and so
Speaker 4: blessed to be here because I was shot and I
Speaker 4: have been in the wheelchair now since I was twenty
Speaker 4: four years old, and I'm just thankful that I'm still
Speaker 4: able to participate in classes like this and do as
Speaker 4: much as I can.
Speaker 3: It's some powerful, powerful statement.
Speaker 4: And there's a lot of people who are listening right now,
Speaker 4: and I just want to take a moment and bend
Speaker 4: your ear. There are people who say I can't do this,
Speaker 4: or I'm tired, or you know, my hips hurt or
Speaker 4: my back hurts. There's always something that you can do.
Speaker 4: If all you can do is a little bit, a
Speaker 4: little bit is more than none. And that's my suggestion.
Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be well thought out. It doesn't
Speaker 4: have to be on the first of the year. It
Speaker 4: can be in front of your TV like mo watch
Speaker 4: a movie. It can be just stretching with a group
Speaker 4: of other people. It can be any amount of movement
Speaker 4: is better than no movement.
Speaker 5: And I stand on that.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've inspired someone, definitely intrigued many someone's, but
Speaker 2: let's help them take that first step. Today's Wednesday. I
Speaker 2: know you have online Friday free workouts, you have your
Speaker 2: in person free community workouts on Saturday. You teach any
Speaker 2: number of classes at Iconics Fitness in Englewood.
Speaker 4: I also teach at Equinox in Hawthorn Slash Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, you've been holding out on me?
Speaker 5: Okay, Uh huh, I've been there for ten years.
Speaker 3: How is it you have time to come out to KFI?
Speaker 4: Because I just love you guys so much. I'm the
Speaker 4: nice exercise lady. How could I not be here? Come on, guys,
Speaker 4: what would you do without me?
Speaker 6: Everybody loves the nice exercise lady.
Speaker 5: You've grown on me too, Mark.
Speaker 3: Like a lord.
Speaker 5: Oh not at all, you guys.
Speaker 4: I love coming out here, even though tonight the traffic
Speaker 4: was ex exdreamly intense, and around this time of year
Speaker 4: it does get much harder to get around the city,
Speaker 4: so I understand when the population drops down at the gym.
Speaker 5: It makes perfect sense to me.
Speaker 4: The holidays, traffic, all the responsibilities of parents and teachers
Speaker 4: and everything that's going on right now. If you can't
Speaker 4: make it to the gym, you can still do a
Speaker 4: little something at home, or like most said, you can
Speaker 4: go to my website at Clottincooper dot com.
Speaker 5: I do teach a virtual workout, but.
Speaker 4: I'm sad to say we're gonna say goodbye to the
Speaker 4: virtual workouts.
Speaker 2: I was wondering how long are you going to be
Speaker 2: able to do them? Just from a scheduling standpoint, it's.
Speaker 4: Been four it's been almost five years since twenty twenty
Speaker 4: since I started the free workouts online, and the community
Speaker 4: has been so appreciative. But we've dwindled down in size.
Speaker 4: People are going back to the gym.
Speaker 2: Well that's okay. They can find you at the gym.
Speaker 2: They can find you at Hollywood.
Speaker 4: Park, absolutely Hollywood Park retail district every Saturday at nine am,
Speaker 4: and then at various gyms. And I also do wellness activations.
Speaker 4: I do seminars for corporations. I do a little bit
Speaker 4: of this and a little bit of that. Animal mom,
Speaker 4: animal mom, animal wife. So it's a lot. And you
Speaker 4: sleep when I get eight hours of sleep. Trust me
Speaker 4: on that. I'm serious about my sleep hygiene.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Claudinecooper dot com. And that means you'll be
Speaker 2: back next week maybe depending on your very busy schedule.
Speaker 4: Well, so next week I do actually have a corporate wellness.
Speaker 3: Sorry about that.
Speaker 5: I'm just letting you know on camera on air. Sorry, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Do, Claudiecooper dot com. We love the nice exercise lady.
Speaker 5: I love you guys too. Happy holidays everyone.
Speaker 3: And we'll see you soon whenever that might be.
Speaker 5: Yes, you will.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand KFI sif.
Speaker 2: I'm Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And I
Speaker 2: got to say, I am kind of jealous about what
Speaker 2: the younger generation has that I didn't have as a kid.
Speaker 2: For all the trappings, I should say, for all the
Speaker 2: things that we did have as kids, this generation has
Speaker 2: a lot more cool stuff. Yeah, we were the beginning
Speaker 2: Gen xers. We were the beginning of the video game revolution.
Speaker 2: We had arcades, but everything that we had was very
Speaker 2: low tech in comparison to what's out there today. I
Speaker 2: remember I was happy to just get a phone in
Speaker 2: my room, as in, plugged into the wall, touch tone,
Speaker 2: not even my own line, just my own extension where
Speaker 2: I could pick up the phone in the house in
Speaker 2: my room.
Speaker 3: I was happy about that.
Speaker 2: Now the kids get their own phone with their own
Speaker 2: phone number at five years old. It's a different world
Speaker 2: all together. And I used to ride my bike everywhere.
Speaker 2: I am going somewhere with this, no pun intended. I
Speaker 2: used to ride my bike everywhere. I had a yellow
Speaker 2: ten speed bike and that was my transportation. I would
Speaker 2: ride it from Harbor City to Torrents and all areas
Speaker 2: around there. I was getting a lot of miles on
Speaker 2: that bike. But today have you seen the e bikes?
Speaker 2: They're fast as hell. It's basically a moped that people
Speaker 2: ride on the sidewalks. It's basically a moped. And they're
Speaker 2: not super expensive when you think about it. The top
Speaker 2: of the line is two thousand dollars. You can get
Speaker 2: them as low as like two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: It's great. Let me tell you about this.
Speaker 2: There's a new voucher program which offers up to two
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for a new e bike. You can get
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars immediately, well, I should say starting later
Speaker 2: this month December eighteenth and low income California residents can
Speaker 2: apply for the state's new e Bike Incentive project. The
Speaker 2: base incentive voucher is seventeen hundred and fifty dollars, but
Speaker 2: applicants with certain qualifications can get as much as two
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, which basically means for free, basically a top
Speaker 2: quality E bike. I would look if I had a
Speaker 2: job which was somewhat close to where I live, like
Speaker 2: Tim Conway Jr. I would love to ride by bike
Speaker 2: to work. I would love to do it, and even
Speaker 2: be even better on an e bike. These young folks
Speaker 2: have no idea how good they have it. Applications open
Speaker 2: on December eighteenth at six pm, and they'll be reviewed
Speaker 2: on a first come, first serve basis, even if you're
Speaker 2: not going to be part of the program, the voucher program.
Speaker 2: I just think e bikes would is so very cool.
Speaker 2: I just have no need or purpose for them in
Speaker 2: my life. I have nowhere to go. There's nowhere for
Speaker 2: me to go. Everywhere I need to go, I have
Speaker 2: to get in the car and it takes me two
Speaker 2: hours to drive twenty two.
Speaker 3: Miles in this city.
Speaker 6: I think it'd be fun for you to drive two
Speaker 6: hours on an e bike to get to work every day.
Speaker 3: It would be fun, and it would be dangerous and
Speaker 3: I'd probably get hit.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't do it more than once. Look, Stephan, you
Speaker 2: know where we lived pool. Oh, odds are against me.
Speaker 2: The odds are not my favorite. Yeah, leaving the house,
Speaker 2: that right there is already a struggle if you have
Speaker 2: something that's shiny like that.
Speaker 3: Well, not only that, and you know what this is like.
Speaker 2: When you're driving, at least through my neighborhood, people do
Speaker 2: not care about the rules of the road.
Speaker 3: They will pass you on the right.
Speaker 2: Let's say you're coming up you're stopped at a red
Speaker 2: light and they're trying to time it where it's gonna
Speaker 2: turn green, and they're gonna zip around you on the right,
Speaker 2: Oh my, to get in front of you. If you're
Speaker 2: not paying attention to that, you might have an accident.
Speaker 2: It drives me crazy that, Yeah, there's actually I can
Speaker 2: stoplight right at the beginning of my drive. And people
Speaker 2: do that all the time, all the time, all the time.
Speaker 2: And the other thing that happens too is when like
Speaker 2: you're going on a straight and someone's coming out to
Speaker 2: go into the lane for some reason, they see you.
Speaker 2: They see you, they see you, and they decide to
Speaker 2: pull out of that street right when you're coming up
Speaker 2: on that turn. In my neighborhood, I can't speak for
Speaker 2: anyone else's neighborhood. People don't stop at stop signs. People
Speaker 2: don't stop to make a right on red. They just
Speaker 2: if they just turn. They don't even slow down, they
Speaker 2: just turn right as if the light is green.
Speaker 3: Talk about defensive driving. It's really dangerous.
Speaker 2: I say all that to say I wouldn't trust riding
Speaker 2: an e bike because people don't respect the rules of
Speaker 2: the road at all. There are a lot of places
Speaker 2: where their four way stops, people don't stop, They just
Speaker 2: go straight through it.
Speaker 3: And I know, and I've been hit by a car.
Speaker 2: As a pedestrian, so maybe I'm hyper sensitive to it.
Speaker 2: I know that I probably would get creamed and it
Speaker 2: wouldn't be my fault. But that's not gonna help because
Speaker 2: I'm dead. There's really no upside the idea, at least
Speaker 2: when I was growing up. Yes, most definitely would like
Speaker 2: to have an e bike if I lived in a
Speaker 2: different place than I live now, Yes, definitely would love
Speaker 2: an e bike.
Speaker 3: I just don't want to get killed on an ee bike.
Speaker 6: You definitely would have to be a lot more judicious
Speaker 6: about giving people the finger on an e bike.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not you, Mark Ronner. I don't do that anymore.
Speaker 2: You don't understand people will kill you. Oh they'll get
Speaker 2: you with the door on any bike, right right. And
Speaker 2: i'mot the person who's going to ride an e bike
Speaker 2: and try to lane split or ride it in the streets. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna illegally ride it on the sidewalk because it's
Speaker 2: much safer there.
Speaker 3: Can you do that?
Speaker 6: Do you not?
Speaker 3: Have to follow the same rules as a motorcycle.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I don't think you're allowed to
Speaker 2: actually even use a sidewalk because there was that whole
Speaker 2: rule that came out with the bird scooters correct that
Speaker 2: they couldn't do and on the sidewalk because it's too fast.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they can get like thirty forty miles an hour. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that's something else.
Speaker 2: When I was I would have loved to have had
Speaker 2: one of those scooters as well, something motorized, because my
Speaker 2: parents were never going to give me a car, so
Speaker 2: anything which would quicken my travel going from home to
Speaker 2: Dilomo Mall or something like that would have been fantastic.
Speaker 2: I had the bus, or I could walk.
Speaker 3: That was it.
Speaker 2: And a lot of times I didn't have money for
Speaker 2: the bus, but the mall was where all the girls were,
Speaker 2: so I just wanted to be there, and Dalama Mall
Speaker 2: was legendary.
Speaker 3: I keep hearing your stories about it. Now.
Speaker 6: Not to sound like a complete violent sociopath here, but
Speaker 6: bearing in mind, okay, that's the wrong preface. Really, bearing
Speaker 6: in mind what a nuisance those things can be on
Speaker 6: the sidewalk. I can't be the only one who's ever
Speaker 6: fantasized about clotheslining somebody on a scooter or an e
Speaker 6: bike on a sidewalk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
Speaker 2: I would want to be walking on the sidewalk to
Speaker 2: be able to do it. I don't want to hurt
Speaker 2: someone like hit them with a car. No clothesline like
Speaker 2: the wrestling moves, stick your armouth. Yeah, I've thought about that.
Speaker 2: I thought about that.
Speaker 6: Somebody's crowd in your space with one of those obnoxious
Speaker 6: things on the sidewalk. It barely even counts as self defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point, Stefan, No, I don't think you
Speaker 2: can ride these on the sidewalk. I'm pretty sure you're
Speaker 2: not even supposed to ride just customary bicycles on the sidewalk.
Speaker 3: That one I don't get with just regular bicycles.
Speaker 2: But this and the bird scooters, Yeah, that makes sense
Speaker 2: because they can go so fast. All I'm saying is,
Speaker 2: even though they have this new voucher program, if my
Speaker 2: life was just a little bit different, I would get
Speaker 2: me an e bykee. I might apply for that. Let's
Speaker 2: have those details, all right. You have to be at
Speaker 2: least eighteen years old. You qualify make less than three
Speaker 2: hundred percent of the federal poverty level.
Speaker 6: I don't know what that is, but I guess I'm
Speaker 6: sure I'll be competitive.
Speaker 2: Maybe the poverty levels like seventeen thousand times three something
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: It's I'm not the second I'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two person household making less than sixty one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars per year would qualify. And there's some other things,
Speaker 2: but that's the general. Applicants have to provide id proof
Speaker 2: of income, taking online safety course and approval may take
Speaker 2: up to sixty days, so you know you have to
Speaker 2: wait till next year.
Speaker 3: Definitely, actually get it. I might go for this.
Speaker 2: Only fifteen hundred vouches are expected to be awarded during
Speaker 2: the first round of applications, and applications will then open
Speaker 2: every three to four months until funding is exhausted.
Speaker 6: In fact, the more of this you read, the more
Speaker 6: competition I'm going to have. So maybe you know X
Speaker 6: nay on the d ray so we don't talk anymore
Speaker 6: about the voucher program.
Speaker 2: Oh god, look at the time KFI AM six forty
Speaker 2: we're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: I just found out today. There's a new Lord of
Speaker 2: the Rings movie coming to theaters. There's really a new
Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings movie. They're not done with that.
Speaker 2: That that's the n animated I don't give a damn.
Speaker 2: It's a Lord of the Rings movie and it's coming
Speaker 2: to theater. I thought we were done with Lord of
Speaker 2: the Rings. I don't know how that slipped by me.
Speaker 2: Some of my friends were talking about, Yeah, we're going
Speaker 2: to talk about Lord of the Rings. What is there
Speaker 2: to talk about. I thought they were talking about the
Speaker 2: TV show on Amazon.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought.
Speaker 2: But there's an actual Lord of the Rings movie coming out.
Speaker 2: And the reason I mentioned that is because I am
Speaker 2: now in my documentary stage. I cannot get enough documentaries.
Speaker 6: The Girls Gone Wild one doesn't count as a documentary matter.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about that style of storytelling.
Speaker 2: I was look, I used to love biopics, but now
Speaker 2: I'm really into documentaries. And with that mind, did you
Speaker 2: know that there's going to be a Paul Rubin slash
Speaker 2: Pee wee Hermann documentary coming in twenty twenty five and
Speaker 2: is also going to explore his life and sexuality.
Speaker 3: Interesting, I'm in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are types of the stories that I want to.
Speaker 2: I already know the character, you know, I already know
Speaker 2: the news headlines. I would love to know more about
Speaker 2: the man and the story that is less often told.
Speaker 2: Love the documentaries, and that's one thing I do like
Speaker 2: about this streaming era. Is gonna unveil at Sundance the
Speaker 2: Paul Rubin's pwee Herman documentary, and even if it if
Speaker 2: it's not on the level of something that will be
Speaker 2: released in theaters, it will find a home somewhere in
Speaker 2: streaming and I'll be able to see it.
Speaker 3: And I would like to see that.
Speaker 6: Streaming has absolutely revitalized documentaries. People never went to see
Speaker 6: those in theaters.
Speaker 3: No, not at all. And that's my point.
Speaker 2: Mark, you get exactly what I'm saying. Documentaries are not new,
Speaker 2: but now they found the perfect home for them. And
Speaker 2: I can watch four or five in a given city,
Speaker 2: I mean four or five episodes of a documentary in
Speaker 2: a giving city, and not of them are great. But
Speaker 2: we're just getting exposed to people's stories and subjects that
Speaker 2: we wouldn't have gotten normally.
Speaker 3: And if we're being honest, here, come on. They help
Speaker 3: you go to sleep. Actually, I have no problem going
Speaker 3: to sleep. You're the one, and who has the problem
Speaker 3: with going to sleep.
Speaker 2: I would say the ones back in the day that
Speaker 2: would those might put you to sleep.
Speaker 6: The true crime ones always do because they happen to
Speaker 6: match these grisly horrific subjects with the most soothing voices
Speaker 6: on the planet.
Speaker 2: And there's also a rhythm and music and a feel
Speaker 2: to it. It's almost like paint by numbers. You kind
Speaker 2: of know, all right, you have you show the heinous crime,
Speaker 2: and you have the the boyfriend who obviously was not
Speaker 2: looked at as a suspect. You know, okay, he's the
Speaker 2: one who did it. It's always the guy, always, the husband, always,
Speaker 2: the boyfriend, always, and they work their way backwards to
Speaker 2: get to that person when you know it's always that person,
Speaker 2: and they're building up this false drama.
Speaker 3: It's a ritual.
Speaker 6: It's like Colombo or murder, she wrote, It doesn't really
Speaker 6: matter who did it. They're taking you through the ritual.
Speaker 6: It's comforting.
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of interesting too, because sometimes if you watch,
Speaker 2: like if they have a trailer, you already know who
Speaker 2: did it, what happened, but how did it get there?
Speaker 2: And that's what you've learned all the steps along the
Speaker 2: way and the stories that you thought you knew, or
Speaker 2: at least I thought I knew. There's probably so much
Speaker 2: more that I did not know, which at least makes
Speaker 2: me view it just a little bit differently.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: It doesn't change obviously, the basic facts about who did it.
Speaker 3: They're also doing a documentary on Selena.
Speaker 2: That's something I would like to see because I lived
Speaker 2: through that in the music industry sense, and we're getting
Speaker 2: old enough, including you, Stefan, where a lot of these
Speaker 2: stories being told now we have some memory of Like
Speaker 2: Girls Gone Wild, we have some memory of it.
Speaker 6: And now I got busted for watching the first episode
Speaker 6: of that.
Speaker 2: By the way, why did you watch that in the
Speaker 2: company or around someone else who might care?
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, it's your fault because I took
Speaker 6: your recommendation. Well, just hear me out. I took your recommendation.
Speaker 6: I had a little time on my hands, so to speak,
Speaker 6: so I watched the first episode of long. I realized
Speaker 6: that halfway through. Today I'm just minding my own business,
Speaker 6: going about my day, waking up, having some coffee, and
Speaker 6: I hear, I see you watch the Girls Gone Wild show?
Speaker 3: You actually caught mess for that?
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, yeah, I did, Yeah, you're a news person,
Speaker 6: you're getting informed. I wish I'd thought of that at
Speaker 6: the time. That would have been a person comeback.
Speaker 2: He could have said, I'm a grown ass man, I
Speaker 2: can watch whatever I want.
Speaker 6: You can't spin a Girl's Gone Wild show. I guess
Speaker 6: it was just for education and I'm a professional. How
Speaker 6: dare you question me? Oh?
Speaker 2: Why would you even try to spin it? I watched it.
Speaker 2: My wife was in a house doing something. She could
Speaker 2: tell because she because throughout the documentary that a trench
Speaker 2: coat in your lap. Well, they have all the throwback commercials,
Speaker 2: so you hear them again and again and again.
Speaker 3: The steel drums up.
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, you can't miss what we were hearing.
Speaker 2: That was like borderline nostalgic because I'm like, I just
Speaker 2: remember that was, you know, eleven thirty twelve midnight and
Speaker 2: now it's playing throughout the whole documentary. But I did
Speaker 2: appreciate learning some things about how they got it on
Speaker 2: TV and you know, getting attached to Howard Stern. I
Speaker 2: didn't know that, for example, how most television stations wouldn't
Speaker 2: touch it at all, no pun intended, but how they
Speaker 2: were creative in getting people to at least know about
Speaker 2: the products.
Speaker 6: There was a form of brilliance there, there's no question
Speaker 6: about that. But how many times can that documentary hammer
Speaker 6: home the fact that the guy's sleeves bag go ruined
Speaker 6: people's lives.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and that was evident from the very beginning.
Speaker 2: And I was talking to you about this mark. He
Speaker 2: has like maybe four episodes, but after the first episode,
Speaker 2: I learned just about everything I needed to know. It
Speaker 2: was rense and repeat. After that, he was just going
Speaker 2: to be more of an a hole as it went on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not only that, but we should tell people who
Speaker 6: think they might be curious about that you're not going
Speaker 6: to see anything.
Speaker 3: Oh no, everything, everything's covered up. Yeah, yeah, they cut away.
Speaker 2: That was my favorite part is learning that there was
Speaker 2: a I forgot what he called it, but the censor
Speaker 2: bar guy, like there was a dedicated person that made
Speaker 2: those job.
Speaker 3: What a job? Right?
Speaker 2: And my thing, if you're going to have a documentary
Speaker 2: on streaming and you have f bombs dropping everything, you
Speaker 2: have some nudity, right, can you show us something, just
Speaker 2: a little something.
Speaker 6: I think my response of they didn't show anything that
Speaker 6: wasn't the right response, but.
Speaker 2: It was an honest one because when I was watching it,
Speaker 2: I was expecting to.
Speaker 3: See the links.
Speaker 2: No pun intended that they were going to to create
Speaker 2: this content and compile this content. You got a sense
Speaker 2: of it, but you didn't get the true essence because
Speaker 2: there was no nudity.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But when you talk about being on a documentary kick
Speaker 6: now in your later years, I'm thinking, oh, yeah, Hotel
Speaker 6: Terminus or one of these heavy ones. Now you're sitting
Speaker 6: at home watching Girls Gone Wild, the Untold Story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. If I am six forty left everywhere the
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: The more you know, the easier it is to avoid
Speaker 1: the idiots around you. A F I N K ost
