Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 2: app and mo Kelly I'll be with you until ten
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight. And you may have heard during the news
Speaker 2: break with Mark Ronner, he had a story about how
Speaker 2: the NBA has just announced that they're postponing, not canceling,
Speaker 2: but postponing the Spurs Lakers game and the Hornets Clippers game.
Speaker 2: Both were scheduled tomorrow on Saturday, and they will be
Speaker 2: played at a later date.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 2: The NBA and the Clippers and Lakers organizations have been
Speaker 2: in communication with local officials in Los Angeles and Inglewood
Speaker 2: about the ongoing situation in the Los Angeles area and
Speaker 2: the game postponements ensure no resources will be diverted from
Speaker 2: the wildfire response efforts.
Speaker 3: Close quote that came from the league.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know, if you ever go to
Speaker 2: any professional sporting venteror even college for that matter, you
Speaker 2: will see a law enforcement presence. You will see first
Speaker 2: responded presence. Because of there's a large venue, you have
Speaker 2: to have a certain amount of staff to accommodate those events,
Speaker 2: and yes, to hold the event is to take resources
Speaker 2: away which could be allocated for the fires. And there
Speaker 2: is this ongoing debate which dates back to World War II. Actually,
Speaker 2: if you know your history about whether we should be
Speaker 2: playing sports events during times of crisis or times of war,
Speaker 2: or when there's a terrorist attack, and there are arguments
Speaker 2: for both sides. If you go back to World War II,
Speaker 2: some people will wrongly try to remember it as the
Speaker 2: United States canceling the World Series during World War Two.
Speaker 2: Now it was not canceled, but there were travel restrictions
Speaker 2: issues and teams had depleted rosters due to players serving
Speaker 2: in the war.
Speaker 3: The nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2: Major League League Baseball All Star Game was canceled due
Speaker 2: to travel restrictions. That's what I think a lot of
Speaker 2: people wrongly confuse the All Star Game with the World Series.
Speaker 2: In fact, nineteen forty three, the World Series was played
Speaker 2: in New York for Games one, two, and three. They
Speaker 2: had to modify the travel because there were travel restrictions
Speaker 2: during World War Two. But it's been an ongoing debate,
Speaker 2: and we know that. For example, the Rams Minnesota Vikings game,
Speaker 2: which was scheduled for Sofi Stadium on Monday has been
Speaker 2: moved to Arizona to be played that night. Here's the argument,
Speaker 2: at least historically, why we play these games. Sometimes sometimes
Speaker 2: they're canceled, sometimes they're postponed, but usually the pressure is
Speaker 2: to play the game. And part of it is there's
Speaker 2: a feeling that we are serving a purpose of providing
Speaker 2: some sort of solace, comfort and normality to people who've
Speaker 2: been affected. No, it's not going to help someone get
Speaker 2: their house back. Noa's not going to help someone who's
Speaker 2: been evacuated. No, it's not going to make anyone feel
Speaker 2: better in that regard. But there's something to be said
Speaker 2: for having the distraction, the emotional distraction, to make sure
Speaker 2: that there's a continuity in life, that there is not
Speaker 2: a disruption of all things in life. In fact, Lakers
Speaker 2: coach JJ Reddick said that he wanted to play the
Speaker 2: games to just give some people something to root for,
Speaker 2: something to feel good about. I'm paraphrasing him, but that's
Speaker 2: pretty much what he said. I get that, I get
Speaker 2: that America historically has turned to sports during the darkest
Speaker 2: times in our history. We've always turned to sports, and
Speaker 2: that's why, Yes, we can be cynical and say they
Speaker 2: don't want to postpone it. They don't want to cancel
Speaker 2: it because they're worried about losing money. Yes, that is
Speaker 2: a part of it, but if you look at the
Speaker 2: greater historical view, there is a real argument to support
Speaker 2: the idea that you still play the game. You still
Speaker 2: play the game because it helps people who are suffering emotionally.
Speaker 2: Going back to the terrorist attack New Year's Day New
Speaker 2: Year's Morning, there was a push to still have the
Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl that day, but the logistics and the danger
Speaker 2: and what I believe to be other possible credible threats,
Speaker 2: discretion was the better part of valor. So they just
Speaker 2: postponed it for one day, but they didn't cancel it
Speaker 2: all together. This is a part of that ongoing debate,
Speaker 2: and I don't think that there's any right answer. If
Speaker 2: you don't care anything about sports, you probably say postpone it,
Speaker 2: cancel it.
Speaker 3: I don't give a damn. I get that. I get
Speaker 3: that Mark Ronter.
Speaker 2: Might be one of those people, because he's not He's
Speaker 2: confirmed a nonsports guy.
Speaker 4: No, but just let decency and intelligence be your guide
Speaker 4: with these things. It's the same with any event.
Speaker 3: It is, but.
Speaker 2: Some people may not interpret playing the game as being
Speaker 2: decent or appropriate. And I think that there is an
Speaker 2: argument argument to make that it may not seem it,
Speaker 2: but it serves a different purpose which may not be.
Speaker 3: Evident or obvious to the non sports fan.
Speaker 4: I see that point. And yeah, I mean you make
Speaker 4: me think of World War Two, especially where people observed
Speaker 4: certain rituals just to keep their spirits up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, not you know, show the Jerry's that were
Speaker 4: not broken, right, I mean, it goes.
Speaker 2: To the whole idea of what was happening after nine
Speaker 2: to eleven. There are plenty of examples. The fact that
Speaker 2: they even finished the Olympics at all. I mean, there
Speaker 2: was in argument to be made that they just should
Speaker 2: have canceled the rest of the Olympics in Munich after
Speaker 2: the Israeli athletes were killed.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I don't think it was President Carter ever
Speaker 4: fully lived down canceling the Olympics, and what was it,
Speaker 4: seventy six, It was.
Speaker 2: Well put its way in nineteen eighty we were supposed
Speaker 2: to go to Russia, to Soviet Union, and he did not, Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: And I guess that was during the Carter administration that
Speaker 2: he made that decision.
Speaker 4: It's always a judgment call, though, and you see people
Speaker 4: who are so tone deaf can't read the room during
Speaker 4: other serious events. You know, I've blocked people like famous
Speaker 4: artists and things like that on Twitter because they couldn't
Speaker 4: stop with the insane self promotion. It's like, you can
Speaker 4: give this a break for a day, you can, do
Speaker 4: you understand what's happening right Yeah?
Speaker 2: You can't. I mean there is such a thing as
Speaker 2: time and place. Yeah, And we may disagree about what
Speaker 2: the time and place may be for this or that,
Speaker 2: but we should be able to agree that there is
Speaker 2: something called time and place. You know, there's a time
Speaker 2: to maybe make some jokes about what's happening right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know what those are, but I'm saying, but
Speaker 2: this is not the time. This is not the time
Speaker 2: to reach for that humor. There's a time, I would say,
Speaker 2: to look at what were some of the precipitating events
Speaker 2: and why this happened and who's responsible.
Speaker 3: I don't think now is that time. I honestly don't.
Speaker 4: I mean the other side of that coin is that
Speaker 4: gallows humor keeps people sane, but use your head, but.
Speaker 3: Not everyone can.
Speaker 2: I don't think everyone is born with the ability to
Speaker 2: be able to distinguish between right and wrong, right time,
Speaker 2: wrong time.
Speaker 4: Common sense ain't all that common. If you're in doubt,
Speaker 4: it's okay to keep your mouth shut. You don't have
Speaker 4: to say something about everything all the time. It's almost
Speaker 4: impossible these days with social media. It's almost as if
Speaker 4: people feel compelled. And I was arguing with someone about this.
Speaker 2: But you don't have to weigh in on every fricking thing,
Speaker 2: especially when it doesn't have anything to do with you.
Speaker 2: You have no discernible, applicable experience or reference point or
Speaker 2: connection to it exactly.
Speaker 4: The world will get along without your hot take on
Speaker 4: absolutely everything during a crisis.
Speaker 2: I remember I was arguing with this so called former
Speaker 2: firefighter in Australia and he was determined to tell me
Speaker 2: what happened in LA and why everything evolved the way
Speaker 2: that it did. I said, look, I'm not denying that
Speaker 2: you have professional experience, but you really don't know the
Speaker 2: lay of the land here. Literally, you don't know what
Speaker 2: Santa Ana wins are I can tell you about out
Speaker 2: there and Pacific palisage. You have no reference point. It's
Speaker 2: better if you just shut the f up.
Speaker 3: Just stop. Stop.
Speaker 4: I almost envy you leaving x slash Twitter because the
Speaker 4: sheer quantity of awful takes on this situation is just overwhelming.
Speaker 3: It does more harm than good. It's look, talk about
Speaker 3: gallows humor.
Speaker 2: It is ridiculous how people are vaccine experts and immunologists
Speaker 2: one day, and then the next day they're experts on
Speaker 2: fire hydrants, and then the next day the experts on
Speaker 2: the testing procedures to become LA fire department chief. It's like, stop,
Speaker 2: you don't need to have an authoritative stance on every
Speaker 2: fricking thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, suddenly there has been a proliferation of experts on
Speaker 4: fire hydrant tech.
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Yes, And then you realize, oh, you're just regurgitating what
Speaker 2: you read somewhere of some source which affirms what you
Speaker 2: want to believe.
Speaker 4: And it's usually some crank, and you're better off listening
Speaker 4: to the drunk sitting at the end of the bar.
Speaker 2: It's not much different. It's pretty much the same, except
Speaker 2: the drunk is probably more honest.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to name any names right now. The
Speaker 4: drunk probably has is.
Speaker 2: Probably less consumed with pushing a particular political point, at.
Speaker 3: Least drunks at the end of the bar are a
Speaker 3: little bit entertaining. No, no, no, usually obnoxious.
Speaker 2: Come on, I run into a fair share of drunks
Speaker 2: at the end of the bar.
Speaker 4: Now you're hanging out at the wrong bars. Moll we'll
Speaker 4: fix that out crisis over. No, I don't go to
Speaker 4: bars anymore. That time is behind me for a number
Speaker 4: of reasons. One because I'm married and I don't have
Speaker 4: the time of my life to hang out of the bar.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I will go to the occasional bar that's a part
Speaker 2: of like a meal or something. If I'm having a
Speaker 2: meal somewhere and there's a bar, then I'll get a
Speaker 2: drink from the bar. But I'm not going to the
Speaker 2: bar to have six seven drinks or something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to help you, but you're resisting it. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I've had that time in my life. You need to
Speaker 2: tell Isabella that, because she still has more of that
Speaker 2: time in front of her.
Speaker 3: I don't those days are behind me.
Speaker 4: I don't even think she's old enough to go to one.
Speaker 3: I do be arrested. I'm old enough and I've done enough.
Speaker 4: I walked into the air mix yesterday and and made
Speaker 4: an announcement for the fetuses in the room, and she
Speaker 4: was it was one of them. Yes, attention fetuses, Isabelle.
Speaker 4: Are you under the age of twenty seven?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Sir? Okay, so you were you born this century? Yes? Damn,
Speaker 2: I am legally allowed to be at bars.
Speaker 4: I will.
Speaker 3: I'll leave you with that, all right. Are you allowed
Speaker 3: to rent a car? No? Oh?
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty alive 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 4: Six.
Speaker 2: Mister Mokeller, here live everyone in I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 2: How should I phrase this? The Fork reporter Neil Savandra
Speaker 2: Fork reporter, he's talking mess Remember how I talked about
Speaker 2: how Planet Fitness UFC other places were opening up their
Speaker 2: businesses to allow people who have been displaced or evacuated
Speaker 2: somewhere they could charge their devices, take a shower. And
Speaker 2: I talked about the importance of something as simple as
Speaker 2: a shower, how meaningful it could be. And Fork reporter
Speaker 2: decided to text me Neil Savager and he said, quote,
Speaker 2: no one would offer you a free shower because we
Speaker 2: all know you refuse to take a short shower.
Speaker 3: That's four k quarter.
Speaker 2: Now, let me give you some context of what he's
Speaker 2: referring to many years ago. In fact, it had to
Speaker 2: be at least ten years ago. It was before I
Speaker 2: got married. We were going through one of these draughts
Speaker 2: or whatever, and we were told to conserve water. And
Speaker 2: I got on my high horse and said, wait a minute.
Speaker 2: I live in a townhouse. I don't have a lawn. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm unmarried, I live by myself. My water footprint is minuscule,
Speaker 2: it's tiny. I don't wash my car at my house. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm not wasting water or anything like that. And I said,
Speaker 2: I like taking twenty minute showers. Isabella. Look her eyes just.
Speaker 3: Lit it like, that's exactly what I said. What are
Speaker 3: you doing in there, sir?
Speaker 2: It is like a massage, a twenty minute hot shower,
Speaker 2: the water buffeting off my beautiful ass.
Speaker 4: Thanks for the visual. Well you asked, can you hit
Speaker 4: the dump button on that? No, don't.
Speaker 3: Don't you dump that.
Speaker 2: My point is that was my guilty pleasure back in
Speaker 2: the twenty teams. Okay, and I got a lot of
Speaker 2: hate for that. How dare you take a twenty minute shower?
Speaker 2: We're enduring a drought, you need to save every drop.
Speaker 3: And this was my argument.
Speaker 2: Are you saying that the people who have a house
Speaker 2: of four or five people their water.
Speaker 3: Footprint is the same as mine.
Speaker 2: Are you saying that those four individuals are all taking
Speaker 2: five minute showers and that somehow is different from my
Speaker 2: one person taking twenty minute shower.
Speaker 4: I can see little kid Mo being like, look at
Speaker 4: what those kids are doing. Forget about me. All I'm
Speaker 4: saying is they chose to live in the big ass house.
Speaker 4: They chose the cars.
Speaker 2: That they're washing in the driveway, they chose to water
Speaker 2: the lawn, and I'm living in the townhouse with no lawn.
Speaker 3: I'm not washing my car.
Speaker 2: And my guilty pleasure is I'm taking a twenty minute shower, all.
Speaker 3: Right, and I'm paying for the water. Let's not forget
Speaker 3: I'm paying for it. It's not like I'm getting it donated.
Speaker 3: It's not like I'm stealing from someone else. It's not
Speaker 3: like I have a pool in the backyard.
Speaker 2: So that's what Nil Savage was talking about, saying that
Speaker 2: I'd be turned away from Planet Fitness, I'd be turned
Speaker 2: away from a UFC gym because of my proclivity to
Speaker 2: take long showers. He's wrong. Well, I mean, he's right.
Speaker 2: I do take long showers, but no one can turn
Speaker 2: me away.
Speaker 3: Nope.
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're owning it and appear to be proud
Speaker 4: of it somehow. That's uh, that's inspiring.
Speaker 3: All terrific. I not be proud of it. Now. If
Speaker 3: we were to get into.
Speaker 2: Everyone's bathing habits and hygiene, I'm quite sure we'd find
Speaker 2: some objectionable things in there.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're suggesting, but I smell glorious.
Speaker 2: I'm suggesting that when you run into me, you know,
Speaker 2: I am clean.
Speaker 3: Actually, I try not to get that close to you.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just say, just in an oft chance that
Speaker 2: you might be near me, you know, And I use soap,
Speaker 2: I used the olnerant, I even use athlete's foot.
Speaker 4: I'm dry between my toes. I am happy simply to
Speaker 4: take your word for all this, all of it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm saying the sense my integrity was impugned by
Speaker 2: Neil Savager. I feel compelled to clear my name. Hmm,
Speaker 2: whose side to take in this matter? Do we have music? Decision?
Speaker 2: Making music? Since Neil went there and he's listening right now?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: By the way, Isabella. If he tries to call in,
Speaker 2: do not accept his call. If he tries to connect that,
Speaker 2: you know, like comrades everything, do not allow him on
Speaker 2: the air. He's not allowed to Rebut anything that I've said, wow, okay,
Speaker 2: he started it, I'm going to finish it.
Speaker 3: So let me just ask the question, since.
Speaker 2: We're here, what is the appropriate length of a shower?
Speaker 3: Then this just in, I'm not the shower police right.
Speaker 2: Right next you'll try to tell me how many times
Speaker 2: I'm allowed to flush?
Speaker 3: No, but I I.
Speaker 4: Myself am a frequent flusher. But I like your strategy
Speaker 4: of pointing to other people who do things worse than
Speaker 4: you to justify a bad thing you do.
Speaker 3: That's brilliant. No, it's not a bad thing to do.
Speaker 3: Put it this way.
Speaker 2: If you are living in a house not by yourself,
Speaker 2: not by yourself, let's say three people, and you have
Speaker 2: the dirty nerve after you wash your car and you
Speaker 2: water your lawn and you draw a bath for all
Speaker 2: your dirty ass crumb snatching kids, and you want to
Speaker 2: tell me that I'm out of line for my single,
Speaker 2: unmarried living by myself, no lawn, having no car washing
Speaker 2: behind Take a twenty minute shower. You're saying that I
Speaker 2: am the one who's wrong. No, I'm going to point
Speaker 2: out your hypocrisy. Thank you very much. Let's go to breath.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, let me pleent me paraphrase. Hey, don't
Speaker 4: you dare? Oh I can't look at the time. Now, no, no,
Speaker 4: you can't let me paraphrase. So if I can role
Speaker 4: play as mister Kelly, careful now, okay, no, officer, I
Speaker 4: only killed one person. Look at those people over there
Speaker 4: who committed ten homicides.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna use your analogy. I'm gonna use your
Speaker 2: analogy against you. It's almost like the people wanting to
Speaker 2: make a citizen's arrest because they have no power over me.
Speaker 2: The officer has the power to arrest. He has arresting power,
Speaker 2: she has arresting powers. These random people out there don't
Speaker 2: have any agency over me.
Speaker 3: They take showers. I take showers. Okay, did you ask
Speaker 3: them how long their showers were? No?
Speaker 2: The whole point is it's none of their freaking business.
Speaker 2: Stay out of my bedroom, stay out of my shower.
Speaker 2: You don't want to be scolded, only scalded. I don't
Speaker 2: want or scout or scalded. You gotta be quicker on
Speaker 2: those rim shots. Isabella Isabelle. I don't think she even
Speaker 2: knows where it is. I don't think I'll find it.
Speaker 3: See, she hasn't been.
Speaker 2: Instructed, Steph is a horrible teacher, has not shown her
Speaker 2: anything important, or she knows where it is and doesn't
Speaker 2: find anything. You say funny, which I think is the
Speaker 2: more likely.
Speaker 3: You make me ill and angry.
Speaker 2: You make me ill and angry. I'm dancing night away.
Speaker 3: Can I go to breakdown? Please? Please?
Speaker 2: I beg you now that everyone knows how I shower,
Speaker 2: and I yes, I use old spice.
Speaker 3: Gross. Okay, are you gonna make me wait? Now? That's
Speaker 3: sound so wrong.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And just to let you know, I'm quite sure Mark
Speaker 2: Runner or I will have the new mandatory evacuation orders
Speaker 2: which have been just passed out as an expansion relative
Speaker 2: to the Palisades fire, and it has to do with
Speaker 2: the four or five freeway. I'm going to get those
Speaker 2: specifics in just a moment for you so we can
Speaker 2: have it for you. Last hour I was talking about,
Speaker 2: actually this hour, I was talking about how sporting events.
Speaker 2: We try not to cancel them. We'll postpone them if
Speaker 2: we can, because it has to do with the general
Speaker 2: mood and making sure that there's not as much of
Speaker 2: a disruption in American life. And sometimes people look to
Speaker 2: sports for a distraction, a diversion from the reality in
Speaker 2: which they may be dealing with. But less on that
Speaker 2: totem pole, if you will, is Hollywood in general. And
Speaker 2: Hollywood has been forced to cancel all sorts of events
Speaker 2: because of the many fires. You might have heard that
Speaker 2: Wicked at the Pantagious Theater two nights of Wicked has
Speaker 2: been canceled due to the fires. Thursday's performance Yesterday was
Speaker 2: canceled after Yesterday's show was also pushed back, and in
Speaker 2: a statement posted on Facebook on Wednesday, the pantage Is said,
Speaker 2: the performance by the Wicked Touring Company is canceled quote
Speaker 2: due to extreme winds and fire conditions close quote as
Speaker 2: of today. The evening performance set for Thursday, January ninth,
Speaker 2: was scheduled to go on, but they had to cancel
Speaker 2: that as well. Severnth Season two premiere, Apple's premiere and
Speaker 2: red carpet for seventh Season two was originally set from Monday,
Speaker 2: January thirteenth has been canceled. Apple said it is donating
Speaker 2: to relief efforts. PGA Awards Nomination is the Producer's Guild
Speaker 2: pushed nominations announcements for its annual award show back to
Speaker 2: Sunday the twelfth. This Sunday, the WGA the Writers Guild
Speaker 2: Association Award Nomination set its postponing the release of its
Speaker 2: annual awards nominations, pushing it to January thirteenth. AARP Movies
Speaker 2: for Grown Up Awards that was set to take place
Speaker 2: on the eleventh, as in tomorrow at the Beverly Wiltshire
Speaker 2: and Beverly Hills, but that has been postponed and the
Speaker 2: ceremony has not yet been rescheduled. The Oscar nominations has
Speaker 2: been shifted from Friday the seventeenth next Friday, to Sunday
Speaker 2: the nineteenth. The twenty twenty five Critics Choice Awards, which
Speaker 2: was originally set for this Sunday, has been postponed and
Speaker 2: it would have been the thirtieth annual ceremony, and it
Speaker 2: was supposed to take place at the Santa Monica Airport
Speaker 2: Barker Hangar. Chelsea Handler was supposed to be the host
Speaker 2: for the third consecutive time, but at this point it
Speaker 2: is tentatively scheduled for January twenty six. And I say
Speaker 2: tentatively because with all of these fires, some of them
Speaker 2: are only eight percent containment or limited containment, new fires
Speaker 2: popping up, we just can't say for sure that these
Speaker 2: dates are hard and fast. The British Academy of Film
Speaker 2: and Television Arts tea party, the BAFT Awards has been canceled.
Speaker 2: It was originally set to take place Saturday, as in
Speaker 2: Tomorrow the eleventh, at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel,
Speaker 2: as I said, has been canceled, not postponed. The Last
Speaker 2: show Girl Premiere, an La Premiere a Glass show Girl
Speaker 2: from Gia Coppola and Kate Gearston, set to be held
Speaker 2: at the TCL Chinese Theater this upcoming Wednesday, has been canceled.
Speaker 2: The film's cast, led by Pamela Anderson, would have appeared
Speaker 2: on a red carpet to do press ahead of the
Speaker 2: screening of the film, which was Golden Globe nominated. SAG
Speaker 2: Award nominations. The in person presentation of nominations for the
Speaker 2: Screen Actors Guild Awards has been canceled. But the nominations
Speaker 2: have been revealed. The Wolfman premiere. Wolfman is the actual
Speaker 2: title of the movie. I actually want to see this movie.
Speaker 2: The premiere of the movie was supposed to take place
Speaker 2: Tuesday night earlier this week at the TCL Chinese Theater.
Speaker 3: That's just not going to happen.
Speaker 2: Back in Action Premiere, the Return of Jamie Fox to
Speaker 2: at least a small Screen, which was for Netflix, was canceled,
Speaker 2: and TV productions sets for the following TV productions have
Speaker 2: also gone dark because of the fires. Told you about
Speaker 2: the Lakers home games which were postponed, Rams home game
Speaker 2: which was moved, But that's just a small sampling of
Speaker 2: some of the many postponements cancelations. Hollywood has been obviously
Speaker 2: highly impacted from the fires, not just because there is
Speaker 2: an element of Hollywood who lived in the Pacific Palisades,
Speaker 2: but of course the Hollywood Hills fire. And I think
Speaker 2: it is appropriate to cancel and postpone these events.
Speaker 3: We're talking about with Mark Roner about being toned deaf.
Speaker 2: There's certain events that you really can and you really
Speaker 2: should cancel because there's not a need for them to
Speaker 2: go on. And also it just like the sporting events.
Speaker 2: It pulls resources first responders away from the other more
Speaker 2: important duties of fighting these fires. And there will be
Speaker 2: more cancelations as we go on. Mark, were you getting
Speaker 2: ready to jump in?
Speaker 4: No, no, I just just but since I'm on the mic,
Speaker 4: I mean, the last thing that a lot of people
Speaker 4: want to see when they're in the middle of a
Speaker 4: life and death emergency is a bunch of preening celebrities
Speaker 4: on a red carpet.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you definitely don't want that, and that just adds
Speaker 2: to the negative view for some for some of the
Speaker 2: idea of Hollywood.
Speaker 3: You know, you just don't need that.
Speaker 4: Right about that, there are a number of things that
Speaker 4: you can put on pause.
Speaker 2: Yes, KFI A six forty were live everywhere on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. We'll have more and definitely before the end
Speaker 2: of the hour, we'll have the specifics on that expanded
Speaker 2: mandatory evacuation orders which have just been handed down regarding
Speaker 2: the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: KFI Mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: And about those evacuation orders, they were expanded this evening.
Speaker 2: For the areas near the Palisades fire, the evacuation order
Speaker 2: is in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to Encino Reservoir,
Speaker 2: from the four h five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon.
Speaker 2: And this area was previously in an evacuation warning zone
Speaker 2: and now has been upgraded to a mandatory evacuation order. So,
Speaker 2: of course, even though it may not have been mandatory
Speaker 2: prior to right about now, it is a mandatory evacuation order.
Speaker 2: Please leave if you are in that area, and it's
Speaker 2: in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to Encino Reservoir, from
Speaker 2: the four or five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon, Mandatory evacuation,
Speaker 2: mandatory evacuation.
Speaker 3: Do not wait.
Speaker 2: Hopefully you have prepared accordingly, or maybe you've already left
Speaker 2: the vicinity, but do not wait. Mandatory evacuation order is
Speaker 2: in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to in Sino Reservoir,
Speaker 2: from the four or five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon.
Speaker 3: And there are.
Speaker 2: Other events which have been canceled or postponed due to
Speaker 2: the fires and the across all media, it's not just TV,
Speaker 2: it's not just movies, it's not just music. And in
Speaker 2: the next hour we'll talk about how the different industries
Speaker 2: breaking them down, how they're planning to try to help out.
Speaker 2: I know the music industry receive a lot of communications
Speaker 2: from various organizations within the music industry as far as
Speaker 2: how they're going to pool all their resources to help
Speaker 2: fire victims. I know the movie industry and various studios
Speaker 2: will tell you about, from Paramount to Disney what they
Speaker 2: are going to do, and also television studios. If anything
Speaker 2: is encouraging about this is that we're hopefully being able
Speaker 2: to cut through all the unimportant stuff and get to
Speaker 2: the important stuff, which is the people. The people who
Speaker 2: have lost their houses, the people who don't know where
Speaker 2: to go, the people who are looking for some sort
Speaker 2: of sense to be made of this. You know, it's
Speaker 2: one thing to talk about losing everything in the abstract.
Speaker 2: It's another thing to see people go through it. I
Speaker 2: have not gone through it, but I can say at
Speaker 2: this point I know it eight people personally personally who've
Speaker 2: lost everything, and for me, that's unconscionable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd say all the time that it's they're just things.
Speaker 2: They're all replaceable as long as you have your loved
Speaker 2: ones and your pets, and you have your health. Everything's okay,
Speaker 2: everything's manageable, And that intellectually may be true, but emotionally
Speaker 2: it's definitely not true. Emotionally, just because you have the
Speaker 2: shirt on your back, it does not mean that everything
Speaker 2: is going to be okay. You have to take it
Speaker 2: from what I understand day to day, moment to moment,
Speaker 2: minute to minute, and just work through the problems that
Speaker 2: you can, how whatever you can, with whatever is available
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 3: Am I warm to Walla, Yeah.
Speaker 5: You're beyond your I said, you're burning hot. You are
Speaker 5: beyond warm. You are beyond warm. I've spent the day
Speaker 5: combing through videos of friends, lifelong friends, childhood friends, high school, college,
Speaker 5: just friends who have been posting videos of the remains
Speaker 5: of their houses. People who live around the corner from me,
Speaker 5: people who live up the street, people who live down
Speaker 5: the block who have lost everything. Who people, Some people
Speaker 5: who were out of town and came back in the
Speaker 5: hopes that their houses were still there, only to find rubble.
Speaker 5: And one friend who was hospitalized it had was sick,
Speaker 5: had a very very bad case of pneumonia, got out
Speaker 5: and come home to find out there is no home
Speaker 5: to return to and it is shocking. You said something
Speaker 5: earlier that it really really hit me when you said
Speaker 5: it that sometimes something as simple as having a place
Speaker 5: to lay your head for the night, it means everything
Speaker 5: in the world. And so you know, bravo to all
Speaker 5: the organizations, all the places that are providing place to live.
Speaker 5: Because I know my co parents side, she got me
Speaker 5: a brand new air mattress yesterday, so that you know
Speaker 5: that way when I got back to her house, I
Speaker 5: would have a place to lay down. And if no
Speaker 5: idea what it meant to lay down and just fall asleep,
Speaker 5: I knocked out so hard and everything seemed to in
Speaker 5: that moment. That moment, just having a nice place to
Speaker 5: lay down and put a blanket over my head my
Speaker 5: whole world to all the tension, all the stress I've
Speaker 5: been feeling, it's just it washed away. And so to
Speaker 5: know that there are so many people out there, all
Speaker 5: the AIRBA means and hotels that are fall up right now,
Speaker 5: it's it's unspeakable to not have that, but right now,
Speaker 5: so many people do, thousands upon thousands.
Speaker 3: Right now. We're looking at this fire coming down here
Speaker 3: right now, right now, burning up property.
Speaker 2: And the thing is I was saying to you out
Speaker 2: in the hallways, like one seems like la can't get
Speaker 2: a break in Each day there's another new major fire.
Speaker 2: And just because the first fourteen or so didn't touch you,
Speaker 2: the fifteenth might. Although you might not have been evacuated
Speaker 2: as of yet, you might still be evacuated. Although that
Speaker 2: you've been evacuated once, it doesn't mean that that's going
Speaker 2: to be the only time that you're going to be
Speaker 2: forced to evacuate. Because these fires are popping up in
Speaker 2: such widely distinct areas, you know, Pacific Palisades two and
Speaker 2: working its way down four or five, you know, and
Speaker 2: all those communities, be it Santa Monica and south of
Speaker 2: Santa Monica poss into the Westwood area. There's no telling
Speaker 2: where all this is going. We don't know where the
Speaker 2: next fire is going to be. It just seems like
Speaker 2: southern California can't get a break. And so if you
Speaker 2: haven't been impacted yet doesn't mean that you won't tomorrow.
Speaker 2: That's part of the reason why we talk about this,
Speaker 2: because you may need to know this information before you
Speaker 2: find yourself evacuated, not after, but before, so you have
Speaker 2: a reference point if you should be evacuated, because there
Speaker 2: are people who weren't evacuated yesterday, but from this mandatory
Speaker 2: evacuation I just told you about earlier. Now they're in
Speaker 2: the process of evacuating and they have to consider all
Speaker 2: the things that we've been talking about the past two
Speaker 2: or three days.
Speaker 3: Yes, this is important, the information is very important.
Speaker 5: I really do hope people heed when you say that
Speaker 5: the evacuation is in order, because again I have some
Speaker 5: friends who unfortunately did not heed the importance of the
Speaker 5: evacuation orders when they received them, and they thought that
Speaker 5: they had time, not knowing that with these sol col
Speaker 5: wins we've been experiencing, you know, and as my friend
Speaker 5: who joined us last night as a firefighter, the wind
Speaker 5: is moving these flames in ways that we've never seen before.
Speaker 5: When it comes to sol Cal wildfires, you don't know
Speaker 5: how soon or when it's going to hit you. Our
Speaker 5: friends who live in out in the Long Loom Auta
Speaker 5: that's all gone, who had just enough time to see
Speaker 5: the flames sparking at the house next door before they
Speaker 5: knew what their house was already on fire. They could
Speaker 5: only grab you know, their kids, their animals, maybe some
Speaker 5: bag of dog food and they're out the door. They
Speaker 5: didn't even have time to think about what to grab.
Speaker 5: There was no go bags that they had ready to
Speaker 5: go because they thought we got all the time in
Speaker 5: the world, will wait till we see it or no, no,
Speaker 5: no no. If you've received an evacuation order, heed that
Speaker 5: pack your go bags. Gets your sense the things that
Speaker 5: you know you cannot live without, not things you want,
Speaker 5: get the things you need and be out.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: We mentioned this before, and unfortunately it's tragic for some,
Speaker 2: but it's a rare opportunity for others, if only because
Speaker 2: let's say you had not considered the idea of a
Speaker 2: go bag on Tuesday. Maybe you have by now and
Speaker 2: you have it in place and you're getting evacuated on
Speaker 2: a Friday, and you're not caught off guard or ill prepared.
Speaker 3: It can be an opportunity.
Speaker 2: But that's provided you're using this time and.
Speaker 3: This information wisely.
Speaker 2: That's why we keep repeating it, That's why we keep
Speaker 2: reminding you, that's why we keep stressing the importance of
Speaker 2: having these things.
Speaker 3: And you know, look, I had to refresh my go bag.
Speaker 2: It was fine for like an earthquake, but it really
Speaker 2: wasn't fire ready for those types of things as far
Speaker 2: as having the goggles and or some sort of breathing
Speaker 2: apparatus to help me if it happened to be a
Speaker 2: high ash or very very poor air quality area. Just
Speaker 2: you have to consider different things now. And my wife
Speaker 2: and I we sat down and made sure that we
Speaker 2: had the the paper documents that were really important. Could
Speaker 2: be like social security cars, it could be the deed
Speaker 2: to the house, any type of physical media that we
Speaker 2: think that we need, like hard drives. It that way,
Speaker 2: you know, you know it's digital media, but it's a
Speaker 2: physical drive. You got to make sure that you have
Speaker 2: that as well. Not everything's in the cloud now. And
Speaker 2: then I've been thinking about this if there is some
Speaker 2: saving grace where now in an age where a lot
Speaker 2: of people do have much of this on the cloud
Speaker 2: or some sort of portable digital storage and you may
Speaker 2: not have to search through all the closet because I
Speaker 2: have a drive which has all my tax information, all
Speaker 2: business records, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: It's on my desk.
Speaker 2: I pick it up, it fits in my hand and
Speaker 2: I don't have to think about it go and the
Speaker 2: rest of it's all on you in the cloud as well.
Speaker 2: But I have a physical backup as well. That's just
Speaker 2: thinking ahead over the years. But I had to learn
Speaker 2: from other people. It was other people's tragedies which taught
Speaker 2: me about how to prepare and what to prepare if
Speaker 2: in the event that I have to go, and go quickly,
Speaker 2: and let someone else's pain be your professor, Let someone
Speaker 2: else's tragedy be your teacher if need be. And I'm
Speaker 2: not saying I'm wishing that on anyone. But don't let
Speaker 2: the wisdom and the lesson just escape you.
Speaker 3: Don't.
Speaker 2: You don't have to go through the same things as
Speaker 2: everyone else.
Speaker 3: You don't have to.
Speaker 2: There's enough information and there's enough instruction out there where
Speaker 2: you can avoid some unnecessary pain. Get your stuff together, now,
Speaker 2: get your documents together, now, get your go back together.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Why because there's seemingly going to be another fire either
Speaker 2: tonight or you might get that inappropriate emergency alert message
Speaker 2: and it might be real this time around, and you
Speaker 2: might have to go at a moment's notice. But you
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about whether you have everything ready
Speaker 2: to go. You can just literally wake up, get up,
Speaker 2: walk out the door, and you and your family and
Speaker 2: some very important items will be safe and with you,
Speaker 2: and that sometimes has to be enough. Ky if I
Speaker 2: am six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app k.
