Speaker 1: Camfires later with mo Kelly. We're live everywhere on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. We are following coverage of breaking news regarding a.
Speaker 2: Metro bus crash.
Speaker 1: I saw NBC four was just on it and they
Speaker 1: went away, but investigators are seeing what happened with a
Speaker 1: fatal collision involving a metro bus and pedestrian near the
Speaker 1: intersection of Azusa Avenue and pepper Rock excuse me, pepper
Speaker 1: Brook Way.
Speaker 2: Let's go to.
Speaker 1: Hey, Stephan, do we have any news coverage, television coverage
Speaker 1: at this moment.
Speaker 2: If not, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Okay, they went away from it, yeah, okay, but we're
Speaker 1: continuing to follow that story. A metro bus and a
Speaker 1: pedestrian collided near the intersection of Azusa Avenue and pepper
Speaker 1: Brook Way in the Santa Fe Springs area, and we
Speaker 1: know that the California Highway Patrol is on scene and
Speaker 1: from what it seems is the lead investigatory unit. Well,
Speaker 1: information is limited at this moment, but we're going to
Speaker 1: follow that. As more information does come in, we will
Speaker 1: make sure that you have it, of course, either in
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom with Mark Ronner or myself.
Speaker 1: You know, we follow all things Metro, and so this
Speaker 1: was something which was happening real time, and so information
Speaker 1: is limited at the moment. We'll continue to follow that story.
Speaker 1: Other things we will be talking about tonight that we
Speaker 1: have more information to seven eleven, which was ransacked by
Speaker 1: some fifty juveniles on bikes. If you haven't seen the video,
Speaker 1: it is eye opening and I think it gives us
Speaker 1: some insight to how these lootings, these ransacked, smashing grabs,
Speaker 1: however you want to characterize them, how sophisticated they're really not,
Speaker 1: and you get to see it seems like a more
Speaker 1: crime of opportunity and of the moment than something which
Speaker 1: is really mapped out.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next segment.
Speaker 1: Governor Gavin Newsom signed another plastic bag band into law.
Speaker 1: I got thoughts about that and how this probably won't
Speaker 1: change much of anything. And did you see what sho
Speaker 1: he Otani did this weekend? Again, My goodness, I am
Speaker 1: a baseball fan, I'm a Dodgers fan, and I don't
Speaker 1: remember anything like this. This is something which and I
Speaker 1: may be guilty of recency bias. This is probably one
Speaker 1: of the greatest moments in Dodger history. It's up there
Speaker 1: and it maybe will surpass Fernando Mania. It is really
Speaker 1: something what sho he Otani is doing on the world
Speaker 1: stage in such dramatic fashion. And UCLA here you go, Mark,
Speaker 1: this story is just for you. First good evening. UCLA
Speaker 1: is going to become the first California university to offer
Speaker 1: chat gpt AI for all the all of its students, faculty,
Speaker 1: and counselors.
Speaker 3: What a well rounded education that sounds like, I'm so
Speaker 3: envious of that.
Speaker 2: What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 1: You had faculty trying to fight against AI because students
Speaker 1: were using it to cheat on exams, and they were
Speaker 1: using it to turn in papers that they didn't write.
Speaker 2: What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 3: It's this the time when I cave into your pessimism
Speaker 3: and say we might as well just accept everything.
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not saying you shouldn't accept it. I'm saying
Speaker 1: certain things are inevitable. I see, okay, there are a
Speaker 1: lot of things that Oh, let me just say this.
Speaker 1: I thought it was inevitable, going back to cannabis, that
Speaker 1: it was going to be legalized for recreational purposes in California.
Speaker 2: Inevitable doesn't mean that I like.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that I support, It doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: I'll just accept it in my life and anyone else's
Speaker 1: close to me.
Speaker 3: So what you're saying is that you don't have any
Speaker 3: gummies on you that you're going to give to me.
Speaker 1: Nope, thank you, And if I did, I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: it over the air. It's legal, I believe in the law. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand that, but so is alcohol. But doesn't mean
Speaker 1: I want to give that to you over there either.
Speaker 1: Well you should give that to me as well. Now
Speaker 1: that we're talking about, how was your weekend, Mo? It
Speaker 1: was okay, It was okay. I tried to get some
Speaker 1: work done, other things got in the way. I'm still
Speaker 1: upset about my USC Trojans giving that game away in
Speaker 1: Michigan at the Big House, that big run at the
Speaker 1: end of the game. They should have won that, and
Speaker 1: I'm still mad about that. I'm a big sc football fan,
Speaker 1: and each one I have such different lives. I was
Speaker 1: excited because the new season of Frum started on Saturday.
Speaker 1: We have one hundred percent different lives. Yeah, we do,
Speaker 1: we do, we do. And I'm getting into the second
Speaker 1: season of Tulsa King. That's something else I've started. There's
Speaker 1: a lot I need to catch up on on not
Speaker 1: only what's on my DVR, but just other stuff I
Speaker 1: want to get to and watch because of recommendations from you,
Speaker 1: Tuala and other people. So much good stuff that is
Speaker 1: out there. For all the times that we complain about
Speaker 1: there's nothing to watch, or you know, the quality of
Speaker 1: programming of streaming or the cost of streaming.
Speaker 3: No, there's a lot of good stuff out there. Don't
Speaker 3: sleep on that. From It's the best thing Stephen King
Speaker 3: never wrote. It's really fun, Okay, And I.
Speaker 1: Admit I'm slow to things and I usually need a
Speaker 1: number of recommendations. Look, it took me four seasons for
Speaker 1: me to get into Stranger Things, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Glad I did.
Speaker 1: But when I wait, I get to binge and I
Speaker 1: get to see a lot of episodes back to back
Speaker 1: to back to back.
Speaker 3: So this is from season three, right, yeah, and between
Speaker 3: from and Slow Horses. Having to now that we're in
Speaker 3: the era where a whole season is dumped online at once.
Speaker 3: If you got to wait a week for an episode,
Speaker 3: it drives you nuts. Oh yeah, stand it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what I usually wait till the end
Speaker 1: of a lot of series, because, like I did, with Succession.
Speaker 1: I didn't start watching that until the very last season,
Speaker 1: and it took me about three weeks to watch the
Speaker 1: first six or so seasons, and then I got to
Speaker 1: finish it in real time with just about everyone else
Speaker 1: where the last three episodes. I think I had to
Speaker 1: wait week by week basis. But other than that, it
Speaker 1: was a very enjoyable binge watch. Yeah, I'm gonna wait
Speaker 1: till I'm hospitalized to watch Succession. Otherwise he just doesn't
Speaker 1: have much interest for me. I've got to be a
Speaker 1: captive audience for that. Well, that's kind of how Tuala
Speaker 1: he should tell you the story, if he hasn't already,
Speaker 1: how he fell in love with Law and Order. He
Speaker 1: was in the hospital and he was force fed Law
Speaker 1: and Order all the seasons over the years, and so
Speaker 1: he watched Law and Order all day, all night because
Speaker 1: I think it was a marathon or something.
Speaker 2: Oh, law and Order's comfort viewing. Are you kidding me? Right?
Speaker 1: But he was saying he wouldn't have watched it on
Speaker 1: his own, but since he had a literal IV in
Speaker 1: his arm and he wasn't going anywhere for the next
Speaker 1: few days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not. I'm pro that.
Speaker 3: It's like Alex in a Clockwork Orange except being forced
Speaker 3: to watch something good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta say this. I was never a real
Speaker 1: big fan of that movie.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely brilliant and I'm happy to talk about it
Speaker 3: with you anytime. I'm not sure it's appropriate for the
Speaker 3: airwe no.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no no, no no no.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying to me, I wasn't wowed when I
Speaker 1: saw I would rather see Space Odyssey two thousand.
Speaker 2: And one than o' clockwork Orange.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll just say this, Kubrick is such a genius
Speaker 3: that it's worth reevaluating and coming back to over the years.
Speaker 3: I think it's incredible and I think it's one of
Speaker 3: the best things Malcolm McDowell ever did.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, it's fair you're wrong, but it's a
Speaker 1: fair good to be back. Yes, and thank you once
Speaker 1: again for a sitting in for me as I was
Speaker 1: sitting in for Tim. You and Tiffany did a wonderful job.
Speaker 1: I hope you received great feedback. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: That means a lot to me. Seriously, we both had
Speaker 1: a lot of fun doing it, and hope we get
Speaker 1: to do it again. I'm quite sure you will. It's
Speaker 1: later with Mokelly when we come back, we're going to
Speaker 1: get into what happened at that seven to eleven which
Speaker 1: was ransacked by a mob on bicycles, just about fifty
Speaker 1: different juveniles. K IF I am six forty OnLive Everywhere
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI six forty.
Speaker 1: And it started off with me making a joke out
Speaker 1: of it how seven elevens were being robbed, and I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: you don't hear about this regarding other convenience stores. You
Speaker 1: don't hear about this with Circle K, you don't hear
Speaker 1: about this with AMPM. And my point was, there must
Speaker 1: be something connected to seven eleven how it's laid out.
Speaker 1: It must be perceived as some sort of easier target
Speaker 1: because they're the only ones getting hit. I'm quite sure
Speaker 1: there are other convenience stores out there. Yes, there's a
Speaker 1: seven eleven just about on every corner, but damn, every
Speaker 1: single week one is getting hit.
Speaker 2: Well on Friday Night.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen the video, but a
Speaker 1: group of juveniles, youths, they seem like they're in the
Speaker 1: fifteen to seventeen year old Range. They were all on
Speaker 1: bicycles and they ransacked a seven eleven store in the
Speaker 1: Pico Robertson area around seven thirty pm.
Speaker 2: We're not talking about twelve midnight. We're not talking about
Speaker 2: two three in the morning.
Speaker 1: This is seven thirty on a Friday night, where there're
Speaker 1: plenty of people around, There are plenty of cameras, there
Speaker 1: are plenty of potential witnesses, and people saw this happening
Speaker 1: in real time, which is really strange to me because
Speaker 1: no one, well I shouldn't say that, We don't know
Speaker 1: of anyone who submitted their video to the police. And
Speaker 1: even if they didn't, these dumbasses actually uploaded the video
Speaker 1: to social media bragging about what they did. It's safe
Speaker 1: to assume they will be caught. But here is the
Speaker 1: audio to the video. And to paint a picture for you,
Speaker 1: the video is right there in the parking lot.
Speaker 2: It's not from across the street.
Speaker 1: It is right in front of the seven to eleven
Speaker 1: and you get to see all these kids, my word,
Speaker 1: rolling up on bikes and then it seemed like a
Speaker 1: spur of the moment to a decision to run into
Speaker 1: the seven to eleven ransack.
Speaker 2: It take as much as they can, and it seemed.
Speaker 1: Like the idea was, well, if we all run in together,
Speaker 1: they can't possibly catch all of us.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone was hurt.
Speaker 1: In the process, but from the video it seemed like
Speaker 1: it was not coordinated other than they were all riding
Speaker 1: together and they got the bright idea to do this
Speaker 1: at an hour where most people saw them, and then
Speaker 1: they were even dumber after that to upload it to
Speaker 1: social media.
Speaker 2: It's Friday night?
Speaker 5: Do you know where your children are? Dozens of young
Speaker 5: people on bicycles stormed a seven to eleven convenience store
Speaker 5: in Pico robertson this Friday evening, stealing whatever they could
Speaker 5: get their hands on, including food and lottery tickets, stuffing
Speaker 5: their shirts and sweatshirts and pockets with the merchandise, ransacking
Speaker 5: and trashing the place in a matter of minutes. When
Speaker 5: it was over, the scene inside was disarrayed. The violent
Speaker 5: crowd scattered into the darkness as quickly as it arrived,
Speaker 5: with all of a criminal activity captured on camera and
Speaker 5: posted on social media.
Speaker 2: Did you catch that? Did you catch that?
Speaker 1: They posted it all on social media, which means that
Speaker 1: there are only one degree of separation away from the
Speaker 1: people who actually did it, or it was done by
Speaker 1: the people who actually did it. It shouldn't be too
Speaker 1: hard to figure out. And that's what And this goes
Speaker 1: back to the whole surveillance state that we have. You know,
Speaker 1: they're like cameras everywhere, right, you know that the cameras
Speaker 1: can track where you rode your bike home. If you're
Speaker 1: on your bike, you're in a certain radius of that
Speaker 1: seven to eleven. You're not two or three miles away,
Speaker 1: You're probably like half a mile away. And you uploaded
Speaker 1: it too social media. I'm not gonna say that criminals
Speaker 1: should be smart. I'm saying don't be extra dumb. And
Speaker 1: there is a difference if you're gonna do it at
Speaker 1: a time in which most people can see you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you tried to hide your face, but at
Speaker 1: seven thirty at night there are a lot of people around.
Speaker 1: Somebody recognized you, probably saw the video and then saw
Speaker 1: you write down the street.
Speaker 5: All of the criminal activity captured on camera and posted
Speaker 5: on social media.
Speaker 1: I know when I was that age, I got into mischief,
Speaker 1: but I didn't ever really have the idea or desire
Speaker 1: to do something criminal like that. I would like to
Speaker 1: believe I am part of that majority. And here is
Speaker 1: where we have this very what I would say, a
Speaker 1: complex dialogue about crime.
Speaker 2: Yes, violent crime is down. The numbers are the numbers.
Speaker 1: Violent crime is down in California and nationally, but the
Speaker 1: brazen nature of the type of crime, the aspect of
Speaker 1: property crime, is something altogether different. Now, if we look
Speaker 1: at the numbers as an aggregate, we can say crime
Speaker 1: is down as an aggregate, but we weren't dealing with
Speaker 1: this type of crime five, ten, fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2: Now, statistically, I don't know where this falls.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it gets looped in with just
Speaker 1: property crime or what. I don't know if it's considered
Speaker 1: petty theft. I know that this type of criminality is new.
Speaker 1: Numbers aside, so both things can be true. We can
Speaker 1: say statistically crime is down statistically, but we should also
Speaker 1: acknowledge that this type of stuff is new. This is
Speaker 1: something we haven't seen before. And also, if you were
Speaker 1: to go into convenience stores or not even liquor stores,
Speaker 1: just like Rite Aid or any other grocery stores, more
Speaker 1: more products are locked down than ever before. Now, if
Speaker 1: you lived in the hood, that's nothing new, But now
Speaker 1: it's spread out into suburbia, and I think that puts
Speaker 1: a different spin on it because a lot of people
Speaker 1: are not used to that. If I were to walk
Speaker 1: into a Rite Aid and I have to get someone's
Speaker 1: help so I can get some deodorant from the cabinet
Speaker 1: for me, that's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: That's not anything new.
Speaker 1: But if you happen to live in Culver City, or
Speaker 1: you lived on the West Side or in somewhere in
Speaker 1: Orange County, you may think, wait a minute, I've never
Speaker 1: had to deal with this before.
Speaker 2: I've never experienced this before.
Speaker 6: What do you mean I have to push this button
Speaker 6: and ring a buzzer for someone to come from the
Speaker 6: other side of the store just so I can get
Speaker 6: some shampoo. Yes, I know it's different for you, and
Speaker 6: maybe that's why it feels different and why you may say, no,
Speaker 6: crime can't be down because I'm dealing with this.
Speaker 2: I've never dealt with this before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's a difference between statistics and the type
Speaker 1: of crime that we're dealing with.
Speaker 2: What did you see, Chwalla.
Speaker 7: It's interesting when I saw this incident at seven to eleven,
Speaker 7: it took me back to a lot of the incidents
Speaker 7: that we saw arise within the Black Lives Matter protests
Speaker 7: where we saw in some instances where riots broke out
Speaker 7: of those protests, and we saw individuals having nothing to
Speaker 7: do with Black Lives matters or marching or police brutality
Speaker 7: or anything like that going in as smashing stores. I
Speaker 7: remember there was a huge incident at the Grove, far
Speaker 7: removed from any Black Lives Matter incident. I remember that
Speaker 7: they were going into stores and smashing windows. And I
Speaker 7: think that when you saw the individuals committing those crimes,
Speaker 7: you saw individuals that had nothing to do with any
Speaker 7: type of movement, but also noticing, wait a minute, nothing
Speaker 7: is happening, and we're seeing more and more and more,
Speaker 7: especially in California, thing that got away with the Then
Speaker 7: it almost started to trend, because that is where we
Speaker 7: started to see this take off. And I think that, yes,
Speaker 7: in California, we have some of the most lax laws
Speaker 7: when it comes to what right now will be considered
Speaker 7: petty theft, because if one hundred people go in and
Speaker 7: grab something small, that's considered petty theft. But as a whole,
Speaker 7: it's granted if they take everything in the damn store.
Speaker 1: Right, thousands and thousands of dollars of damageandalism and theft.
Speaker 2: But individually, if you got fifty people.
Speaker 1: They only got let's say seventy five dollars worth of merchandising.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 7: So that's why these these smash and grab robberies, why
Speaker 7: they're so impactful, and why they're actually, to me, so heinous,
Speaker 7: because I believe that these things are organized. There's no
Speaker 7: way that these kids are just showing up and they
Speaker 7: keep running in and just grabbing everything they can, and
Speaker 7: then they were just like.
Speaker 2: Well, there are levels of organization to this.
Speaker 1: There's there's a level of organization that someone is orchestrating it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because you stealing a lot of products
Speaker 1: that you can't resell or move, you know, ransacking of
Speaker 1: seven to eleven, I don't know how you can turn
Speaker 1: that into actual money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my thing. Now, if you were to hit a.
Speaker 1: Clothing store or a jewelry store, that's a different animal.
Speaker 1: And we've heard about how that merchandise was trying to
Speaker 1: be moved online and they found people who were trying
Speaker 1: to fence it and so forth.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can find hosts, well, no,
Speaker 2: but those.
Speaker 7: Phone cases, you know, seven to eleven starts to sell
Speaker 7: those little little minor electronic things. To me, all of
Speaker 7: these things are little items that as a whole can
Speaker 7: add up to something.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see.
Speaker 1: But these kids, and I call them kids because they're
Speaker 1: not adults, they're gonna get caught because there are too
Speaker 1: many ways in which police can find out. But then
Speaker 1: the larger question is, yes, were they somehow prodded to
Speaker 1: do it, were they coach to do it? Or is
Speaker 1: this something they just decided, Well, all of us are here,
Speaker 1: we don't have anything else to do on a Friday night.
Speaker 1: There is the seven eleven. Why don't we just go
Speaker 1: run it? Because I mean, for us, it was like
Speaker 1: dining ditch. It's like if we all leave the Denny's
Speaker 1: at the same time, they can't catch all of us.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't the same thing as ransacking Denny's, right,
Speaker 1: And I still owe that Denny's in Torrents del them
Speaker 1: mall one day.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: I swear if you don't know I dine in ditch
Speaker 1: from Denny's. How was in my early twenty It was
Speaker 1: after coming back from the Red Onion in Redonald Beach,
Speaker 1: and it was real late and the service was horrible,
Speaker 1: and we waited and waited and waited to get our food,
Speaker 1: and we waited and waited and waited at the front
Speaker 1: of cash cashier's a cash register to pay the bill.
Speaker 1: And I said, look, I'm gonna wait another two minutes
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna leave. And there was only like
Speaker 1: one person who was serving the whole restaurant. You know,
Speaker 1: there was no way that it could accommodate us. But
Speaker 1: it was like a Friday or Saturday night. You should
Speaker 1: have had more people there. Anyhow, we walked out very slowly.
Speaker 1: She finally realized that it was us, and she ran
Speaker 1: after us. We got in the car and drove away.
Speaker 1: And I've been guilty about that for the past, I
Speaker 1: don't know, thirty years. So I thought I was gonna
Speaker 1: go in there and just leave a twenty on the
Speaker 1: counter for somebody, just for anybody. Well I don't I
Speaker 1: would still be there, I hope not, unless she is
Speaker 1: like the owner. If she's still working at Denny's thirty
Speaker 1: years later, there's something wrong with her life.
Speaker 2: Ah damn. If she's she's still look they even have
Speaker 2: those and she's.
Speaker 7: A manager thirty years later, you can make good money
Speaker 7: as a manager.
Speaker 2: You can't. I just I wish better for her after
Speaker 2: thirty years.
Speaker 3: What if she got fired because of what you did
Speaker 3: in her life, entered a downward spiral that she never
Speaker 3: recovered from.
Speaker 2: What if she's at the right track right now because
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, that's a strip cub and
Speaker 1: don't ask me why, I know that? Is First King
Speaker 1: still open or did they close that? And Barbarie Coast?
Speaker 1: I think both of those good. No, No, I think
Speaker 1: Barbie got redone. I think that's back under you know,
Speaker 1: under new management. Yeah, they have better wings.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And how do you know Stephan other than it being
Speaker 1: in our neighborhood, that's a black strip club. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: am six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: We have a plastic ban update when we come back.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 1: I have mixed feelings about any plastic bag ban. I
Speaker 1: think it's paying lip service to the idea of eradicating
Speaker 1: all this waste which doesn't naturally degrade on its own,
Speaker 1: and poisoning our oceans.
Speaker 2: I get all the thoughts behind it.
Speaker 1: I just don't believe, Like, put it this way, having
Speaker 1: I don't know, one less cupcake per month is not
Speaker 1: going to do much for your bottom line or in
Speaker 1: this case of waistline, it's not really going to change
Speaker 1: your weight. It's really not going to change your cholesterol.
Speaker 1: It's really not improving your diet. If you're having nine
Speaker 1: or ten cupcakes a month, then yeah, just one fewer,
Speaker 1: one less is not going to make any difference. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: Governor Gavin Newsom has signed this latest plastic band into law,
Speaker 1: and it goes a little something like this.
Speaker 8: Now, even though the governor signed this bill into law yesterday,
Speaker 8: it doesn't actually go into effect until January of twenty
Speaker 8: twenty six so we've got this some time here. But
Speaker 8: here's the thing. Back in twenty fourteen, so a decade ago,
Speaker 8: California actually passed another law in order to ban plastic
Speaker 8: bags rever Since then, environmental groups say that we have
Speaker 8: been using more plastic bags as a state to levels
Speaker 8: we've never seen before. Let's go back to twenty sixteen
Speaker 8: because this is important here, because it'll be saying, well,
Speaker 8: if we already passed this law, why do we need
Speaker 8: to pass another one.
Speaker 2: That's a great question, Why do we need to pass
Speaker 2: another one?
Speaker 8: In twenty fourteen, California became the first state to ban
Speaker 8: single use plastic bags.
Speaker 2: Hey, we were the first, Oh no one cares.
Speaker 8: Prompting states across the country to do the same thing.
Speaker 8: But here's what actually happened. When the state banned single
Speaker 8: use plastic bags, they still allowed customers to purchase those
Speaker 8: reusable plastic bags for a small fee.
Speaker 1: I loved those single use plastic bags, those heavy duty ones,
Speaker 1: the ones that you like could take a shower in
Speaker 1: and not get your hair wet. The ones that you
Speaker 1: can pick up all your dog poop with and not
Speaker 1: have to worry about getting your hands dirty.
Speaker 2: I love those. They aren't single use. In my house.
Speaker 1: I use them as trash can liners, use them for
Speaker 1: all sorts of things, use them for storage in the house.
Speaker 1: Who uses them only once? Oh not me. I use
Speaker 1: them at least twice, at least twice, sometimes three or
Speaker 1: four times.
Speaker 2: They have all sorts of uses.
Speaker 1: And actually the paper ones are the ones that usually
Speaker 1: break before you even get to the car. They've become
Speaker 1: more and more flimsy over the years, and less and
Speaker 1: less reliable. I would much rather have the plastic bag
Speaker 1: which is not going to break that I can reuse again,
Speaker 1: as opposed to the paper which may not last walking
Speaker 1: ten paces and I have to throw away as soon
Speaker 1: as I unload my groceries.
Speaker 8: Those are those thicker bags. You typically have the option
Speaker 8: between buying those high density thick plastic bags or paper
Speaker 8: bags that check out. But a new report out this
Speaker 8: year finding the amount on a plastic bag waste in
Speaker 8: California is actually going up. And even those stores say
Speaker 8: you can recycle those thicker plastic bags, most people weren't,
Speaker 8: and according to an Alla Times report, many recycling companies
Speaker 8: don't even have a program to recycle those. This new
Speaker 8: law amswer dramatically reduced plastic bag pollution.
Speaker 1: Can anyone remember the last time they were actually asked
Speaker 1: a question paper or plastic? When I went to Albertson's
Speaker 1: yesterday in Guardina telling all my business. When I went
Speaker 1: to Albertson's, there was no option for paper. It was
Speaker 1: just plastic. It was just the thick plastic bags that
Speaker 1: was it, and I still had to pay for them.
Speaker 1: But I was not given any option for paper. And
Speaker 1: I can't think of the last time or place I
Speaker 1: do shop at Albertson's, I shop at Vonn's, and I
Speaker 1: shop at routes depending on where I am in the city,
Speaker 1: and you know my schedule. No one has ever asked
Speaker 1: paper or plastic. They just say, would you like a
Speaker 1: bag for this? And I only see plastic. Have I
Speaker 1: missed out on some sort of hidden option. It's just
Speaker 1: like the hidden menu and in and out where if
Speaker 1: I have to say a special keyword and say animal style,
Speaker 1: they'll give me a paper bag.
Speaker 2: Is that what we're doing here?
Speaker 3: No, maybe you just look like the kind of guy
Speaker 3: who enjoys plastic bags and they're profiling you.
Speaker 2: What are you trying to say? Maybe you're easy to profile.
Speaker 2: What do you mean enjoy plastic bags? Well, it's like
Speaker 2: a loaded comment.
Speaker 3: You enjoy owning and perhaps wearing plastic bags. They can
Speaker 3: tell this about you and they don't have to ask
Speaker 3: if you want paper, because there's something about you, Morris
Speaker 3: Kelly that just screams, give me plastic.
Speaker 1: Well, when I look at Reggie, who's bagging the groceries,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Reggie tonight.
Speaker 2: Huh. I don't see any plastic around. I mean, excuse me,
Speaker 2: I don't see any paper around.
Speaker 1: I only see plastic, and they've already opened up the
Speaker 1: plastic bag and there's a stack of plastic bags. Or
Speaker 1: if you go to the self checkout, there's only plastic.
Speaker 1: There is only plastic at the self checkout. And that's
Speaker 1: if the person who's assigned to work self checkout is
Speaker 1: actually going to be there to help you, because every
Speaker 1: time I had pushed that button for help, nobody ever
Speaker 1: shows up.
Speaker 2: Nobody. Now the whole self checkout things a scam.
Speaker 1: Too minute, they're telling me that I cannot self check
Speaker 1: out my alcohol there, I can't do gift cards there.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not a self checkout.
Speaker 3: Then, not only that they're saving money by having you
Speaker 3: check your own groceries, but that doesn't seem to lower
Speaker 3: the price of the groceries for some reason.
Speaker 1: No, you get no type of a discount. You get
Speaker 1: less help, no discount, shoddier service. Almost said the other word.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's fun to scan the things across the
Speaker 3: little beep thing if you're a child, but for the
Speaker 3: rest of us, I don't really see the advantage of it.
Speaker 1: It's always difficult, especially if you have any produce, because
Speaker 1: they want to make it like it's easy, but it's
Speaker 1: not easy trying to find some apples at self checkout?
Speaker 1: Is it Washington delicious or is it this kind or
Speaker 1: is it that kind that No, it's way too much work.
Speaker 1: I would rather have someone just scan it and key
Speaker 1: in the apples by themselves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then they would have to pay that person
Speaker 3: a living wage and benefits. I don't think you feel
Speaker 3: sorry enough for the corporations who are doing this.
Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with me.
Speaker 1: I'm already shopping, I'm already spending money. So whether I
Speaker 1: end up at self checkout or whether I end up
Speaker 1: in a cashier lane with Ronda, that's gonna be Ronda
Speaker 1: and Regia, Ronda Albertson's, Ralph's, Vaughn's, Pavilions. They all make
Speaker 1: the same amount of money. Whatever is in my basket,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the same, so it shouldn't really matter. Actually,
Speaker 1: at least get the same level of service, That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Well one would think. Also, I hate the idea of
Speaker 3: you being inconvenience by not having access to plastic bags.
Speaker 3: How are we gonna cope with this?
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a disappointment, not an inconvenience.
Speaker 2: It'd be very disappointing. Oh, even worse.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get inferior paper bags. It'd be different.
Speaker 1: We have the ones from like the nineteen seventies, eighties,
Speaker 1: Those were durable, but these are not durable.
Speaker 3: What are we gonna do? Suffer? Yeah, I'm gonna suffer.
Speaker 3: Yeah this is and you're mocking me and it's no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that. I would never do that. It's
Speaker 3: Later with Mo Kelly. Keep on mocking never. We're live
Speaker 3: everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: We got to talk Otani and the Dodgers when we
Speaker 1: come back with a fantastic weekend. In fact, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: are playing right now. Maybe there will be more magic,
Speaker 1: but we'll play some of the previous magic from yesterday.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: I am a sports fan through and through. I'm an
Speaker 1: LA Dodger fan through and through. As a person who
Speaker 1: works in news media, I'm always conscious of I'll say
Speaker 1: special moments. I remember when I was sitting on my
Speaker 1: college trunk at Georgetown University, back when the Dodgers were
Speaker 1: playing the Oakland A's in nineteen eighty eight and watching
Speaker 1: the Kirk Gives send home run from twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: miles away in Washington, DC, but watching it live. I
Speaker 1: live for those types of moments where you get to
Speaker 1: see history, sports history happening in real time. I love
Speaker 1: watching greatness at work and show Helo Tani. I was
Speaker 1: ambivalent on when he came to the Dodgers. I didn't
Speaker 1: know if he was the real deal or not. I
Speaker 1: knew that he was a special player, but I didn't
Speaker 1: know if he was going to be a legendary player
Speaker 1: for the almost billion dollars that the Dodgers are paying
Speaker 1: show Heyo Tani. Yes, I know a lot of the
Speaker 1: money is deferred until later in the contract, but if
Speaker 1: you use history as a guide, when players signed these
Speaker 1: big deals, they never usually measure up to the enormous
Speaker 1: contract in which they're being paid. Maybe they'll have a
Speaker 1: few years and then they begin to peter off because
Speaker 1: you know, they get to be past their physical prime.
Speaker 1: They start breaking down and it seems like, okay, well
Speaker 1: the team didn't get money's worth. Of course, it's too
Speaker 1: early to tell with Shoheil Tani, but this is the
Speaker 1: best debut I've ever seen in my life for someone
Speaker 1: who's been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yes, he's
Speaker 1: already passed the fifty to fifty plateau of fifty home
Speaker 1: runs and fifty stolen bases in the same season. Never
Speaker 1: been accomplished by anyone, And very few players can say
Speaker 1: that they have fifty home runs in a given season
Speaker 1: and fifty stolen bases in a different season, except for
Speaker 1: maybe Barry Bonds and a few other people. But Shoel
Speaker 1: Tani has had a legendary, historic season in baseball and
Speaker 1: it's not through yet. He still has a chance to
Speaker 1: hit fifty five fifty five, fifty five home runs and
Speaker 1: fifty five stolen bases. I was listening to the game
Speaker 1: on A and five to seven e LA Sports, but
Speaker 1: I was also watching the feed on the national feed
Speaker 1: for the game. It was a Sunday Baseball Game of
Speaker 1: the Week. I want to play for you the national
Speaker 1: feed so you can feel the energy of what the
Speaker 1: rest of the the country is experiencing. Shoe Hail Tani
Speaker 1: came up at the bottom of the ninth the Dodgers
Speaker 1: were behind by two, and then he decided to do
Speaker 1: this bottom of the.
Speaker 9: Ninth, about to begin the Dodgers trailing by one. It's
Speaker 9: five four rockies.
Speaker 2: My bad, they're trailing by one. I messed it up.
Speaker 9: Bottom of the ninth, about to begin the Dodgers trailing
Speaker 9: by one. It's five four rockies. The Dodgers have to
Speaker 9: come back if they want to hold on to a
Speaker 9: three game lead. In front of the Padres come in
Speaker 9: to town Tuesday, San Diego one. It's down at two
Speaker 9: and a half. Top of the order for the Dodgers.
Speaker 9: Otani bets Freeman facing the right hander Seth Halverson, who
Speaker 9: faced the top of the order yesterday in the ninth inner,
Speaker 9: there's two to one. Pitch Otani scot from Wood Summerfield, Otani.
Speaker 2: Change up.
Speaker 1: Remember the other night I was talking about how the
Speaker 1: great announcers like Vince Scully let the moment do all
Speaker 1: the talking, get out of the way and let us
Speaker 1: as the audience just hear the crowd. That was a
Speaker 1: good use of the moment to let the scene do
Speaker 1: all the talking. And then after Otani does that to
Speaker 1: tie the game, the next batter, just for an icing
Speaker 1: on top of the cake, Mookie Betts comes up and
Speaker 1: think everyone is still thinking about show. Hey, Otani and
Speaker 1: Mukie says just Efort. Let me just hit a home
Speaker 1: run so we can all go home now, well, Murphy.
Speaker 2: Bus grubber, grub at the Oh Toney, good, Mookie, Let's
Speaker 2: go boom. We are living through history. We are living
Speaker 2: through sports history.
Speaker 1: This is one of the greatest US, greatest i'll say moments,
Speaker 1: greatest seasons in Dodger history and baseball. We should recognize
Speaker 1: it as it is happening. K if I am six forty.
