Speaker 1: Oh, Wimbo Kelly one, kay Am.
Speaker 2: Six live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app got bad news.
Speaker 3: Yankees have just scored another run.
Speaker 2: They're up seven to four in the bottom of the
Speaker 2: eighth inning over the Dodgers first and third with one out.
Speaker 2: We're continuing to monitor that hopefully won't get any worse,
Speaker 2: but it's not looking good for the Dodgers at the moment.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk a little bit about TV, the business,
Speaker 2: and probably a show that you have been watching, or
Speaker 2: it seems many people have been watching. There is the
Speaker 2: show Mattlock. If you say Mattlock to me, I think
Speaker 2: of Andy Griffith nineteen eighty six to nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2: I really like that show. And I thought that generally
Speaker 2: you don't remake classics, you don't remake cult classics. And
Speaker 2: I think that applies to TV shows as well. Yankees
Speaker 2: just hit a home run ten to four. Damn it.
Speaker 2: But when you do it's Historically I always thought that
Speaker 2: it was a cheap way of of a studio to
Speaker 2: make money. We've had any number of remakes of TV
Speaker 2: shows like A Swat or Hawaii five to Zho or
Speaker 2: they even did them a guiver any a night court,
Speaker 2: don't forget the equalizer equalizer, and it's been hit or miss.
Speaker 2: Some of them have had moderate success, some of them
Speaker 2: have hung around and they've stood on their own legs
Speaker 2: and been, you know, develop audiences on their own merit.
Speaker 2: But by and large, I don't like it. It feels
Speaker 2: dirty to me. I mentioned Matlock because from what I've seen,
Speaker 2: it is a multi platform hit. Maybe it's because Kathy
Speaker 2: Bates brings something completely fresh and people don't remember Metlock,
Speaker 2: or they don't perceive it in the same way that
Speaker 2: I do. Mark you know TV as well as anyone
Speaker 2: in this building, maybe even better. Where do you come
Speaker 2: out on these these remake reboot TV shows?
Speaker 4: I'm with you, I really, I'm not ashamed to admit
Speaker 4: that I like the old Mattlock and I'm under the
Speaker 4: age of eighty. Andy Griffith was a terrific actor and
Speaker 4: if you ever ever doubt that, watch a movie called
Speaker 4: A Face in the Crowd and it will blow your
Speaker 4: hair back. I haven't seen the new Mattlock. I obviously
Speaker 4: Kathy Baits is a terrific actress, but I am prejudiced
Speaker 4: against a number of remakes. I haven't watched the Queen
Speaker 4: Latifa Equalizer.
Speaker 3: Either.
Speaker 4: They might be good, but I just it's a hard
Speaker 4: sell for me because I like the originals.
Speaker 2: My thing is, obviously, there's so much time that's in
Speaker 2: between the Andy Griffith version and the Kathy Bates version
Speaker 2: that you're not going to have a real overlap in audiences.
Speaker 3: Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: You know, if your core demographic is not going to
Speaker 2: be the folks who are fifty five and older who
Speaker 2: remember the Andy Griffith one, yeah they're all dead right, Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you for saying that. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: just call it something else, you know.
Speaker 4: That's the thing. Yeah, make up something new. If you're
Speaker 4: going to change something that much, just make a new show.
Speaker 4: But you know they're not going to do that though.
Speaker 4: You know they're going to keep dipping into that well,
Speaker 4: and a generation from now there'll be yet another Mattlock.
Speaker 4: It might be like a young person of color with
Speaker 4: face piercings. You don't know.
Speaker 2: Now, Sometimes they're really really, really bad, and I hate
Speaker 2: to step on people's toes, but the Night Court was
Speaker 2: really bad, was really really bad.
Speaker 4: I mean it, it was god awful. Well, sometimes these
Speaker 4: remakes all they do is make you appreciate how good
Speaker 4: the original was and how good the people in the
Speaker 4: original was. Harry Anderson was funny. No, that whole cast
Speaker 4: was funny.
Speaker 2: Yes, Marshall Warfield was a stand up comedian in her
Speaker 2: own right. So you look at that cast, John Larrocat
Speaker 2: Markey Posts, all of them were formidable individually.
Speaker 4: I can't say that about the remake update. This is
Speaker 4: some John learricket trivia. Did you know that he did
Speaker 4: the narration for the Texas Chainsaw massacre?
Speaker 3: I did not know that.
Speaker 4: I didn't either until not long ago. But not to
Speaker 4: get you off track, I've only seen the New night
Speaker 4: Court without the sound on while I was working in
Speaker 4: the news booth, and there's nothing about it that appealed
Speaker 4: to me. I mean that that's pretty prejudice though.
Speaker 2: And the only reason that I even wanted to look
Speaker 2: at it once was to see did it have any
Speaker 2: of the chemistry which was reminiscent of the original. The
Speaker 2: type of chemistry that you can't create is just has
Speaker 2: to be something special.
Speaker 3: Within that cast.
Speaker 2: We saw it in Cheers, We saw it in Frasier
Speaker 2: as an extension of Cheers.
Speaker 3: You see it in Wings.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of TV shows with a cast
Speaker 2: is funny because they have a rhythm all their own
Speaker 2: and it can't be duplicated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just the last couple of nights I
Speaker 4: was watching a documentary about the making of Star Trek
Speaker 4: the Next Year Generation, a show that I was one
Speaker 4: hundred percent against and never really bonded with because I
Speaker 4: like the original show. But that found its audience like
Speaker 4: a lot of these do.
Speaker 2: Right, all right, And I would say it found as audience,
Speaker 2: and it was a completely different show.
Speaker 3: It was from the same universe.
Speaker 4: It was such a different show that they froze out
Speaker 4: the creator of the original.
Speaker 2: Show that too, But I've yet to find And I
Speaker 2: don't mind the Equalizer with Queen Latifa. I don't mind it,
Speaker 2: but I don't actually think of it as a remake
Speaker 2: of the original Equalizer.
Speaker 3: There's to me, there's nothing similar about it.
Speaker 4: Well, let's also be honest here, it's much more fun
Speaker 4: to say the name Edward Woodward. Okay, just sit around
Speaker 4: and say Edward Woodward. Queen Latifa gives you no such satisfaction.
Speaker 3: Edward woodword. Yeah, but she's like a macall.
Speaker 2: She's the Acall version of of Equalizer, which is weird
Speaker 2: because we're not exactly sure they've actually played with the
Speaker 2: idea of making a part of the Denzil universe.
Speaker 3: That there is some relation.
Speaker 1: There is the rare occasion where there is a show
Speaker 1: that was okay, if we're being honest with ourselves in
Speaker 1: its original iteration, that becomes better when it's remade. And
Speaker 1: I would say that was Battlestar Galactica. Bottlestar Galactica, it
Speaker 1: was a fan favorite one when we were but but
Speaker 1: the revise, the renew Battlestar, well, it was much.
Speaker 3: Much better with Edward James. Almost. Yes, I like that.
Speaker 2: I preferred the Lorne Green one, as campy and silly
Speaker 2: as it could have been at times, I preferred the original.
Speaker 4: I thought we knew each other. This is shocking to me.
Speaker 4: We do, and I knew this is good.
Speaker 3: Shocking.
Speaker 2: Look, I couldn't. I couldn't ever get into the remake,
Speaker 2: as well as an intention as it was.
Speaker 4: I thought the remake was so much better because they
Speaker 4: took it seriously, they didn't camp it up, and everything
Speaker 4: right down to the Baron McCrary score was superior to
Speaker 4: the And I knew the original really well back back
Speaker 4: in the old days when when we were just tots,
Speaker 4: I made audio cassettes of those because we didn't have
Speaker 4: you know, a Beta Max or anything like that. And
Speaker 4: I was also jealous because I couldn't get my kinky
Speaker 4: hair to feather like Starbuck and Apollo. Look think of
Speaker 4: it this way. I remember Lost in Space.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I thought the one on Netflix
Speaker 2: was very good, but it didn't have the same feel.
Speaker 1: That one was so different from the just the lost
Speaker 1: and face on Netflix that was just like a sci
Speaker 1: fi venture show with the family.
Speaker 3: And it would have been fine. And yeah, that's kind
Speaker 3: of my point.
Speaker 4: I think I wrote about that for the rap and
Speaker 4: the thing, You've got to have a Doctor Smith and
Speaker 4: a Will Robinson because they weren't the original.
Speaker 1: A compelling updated versions of the characters. Because they had
Speaker 1: those characters, they weren't as compelling or nowhere near as interesting,
Speaker 1: and there their play against each other wasn't as as
Speaker 1: questionable serious BELI. It was just kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean I get that they're name the same, but
Speaker 1: they're not the same characters.
Speaker 2: Right right, And And if I am a fan of
Speaker 2: Lost in Space, which I was, if I'm a fan
Speaker 2: of the original Battlestar Galactica and even the campy Baltizar,
Speaker 2: which I was, I want Baltar Baltar, excuse me, I
Speaker 2: want something reminiscent of that in the remake.
Speaker 4: Now the guy who plays Baltar has popped up in
Speaker 4: Slow Horses, and he's such a terrific heel. He is
Speaker 4: just wonderfully hated, still alive, the one in the Battlestar
Speaker 4: Galactic a remake.
Speaker 3: Oh also of the original. Oh no.
Speaker 4: John Colicos was Baltar in the original. I think he's
Speaker 4: long gone. And he played a Klingon in Star Trek
Speaker 4: as well. Everybody, everything's related. It's very The sci fi
Speaker 4: universe on TV was very incestuous back in the day.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a very small community in that regard.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't think of a show us out today
Speaker 2: that's a remake that I'm enjoying.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2: I'm just being honest. Nothing as a remake. I can't
Speaker 2: think of one. You know, I've watched episodes of SWAT,
Speaker 2: we featured it. I've never got into Hawaii five. Oh no, no, nothing,
Speaker 2: none of those remakes.
Speaker 3: It's almost like I turn off Quantum Leap. Hell no
Speaker 3: no no, hell no no no no no no.
Speaker 1: But but to be fair, we are also living in
Speaker 1: a much more diverse television world than we did back then.
Speaker 1: A remake of a television show on CBS or something
Speaker 1: that forces you to sit and watch CBS at a
Speaker 1: designated time on a designated day, well, you're not keeping
Speaker 1: up with any of it.
Speaker 3: That's why they're a multi platform now.
Speaker 2: They're they're putting their combining the streaming numbers with the
Speaker 2: actual broadcast numbers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm not going to watch.
Speaker 2: I'll probably watch Matt Locke eventually just to see what
Speaker 2: it's all about, but I don't have any real desire
Speaker 2: to see it. Like, for example, they will do a
Speaker 2: murder she wrote, remake, Well.
Speaker 5: That's a remake of Miss Marple, yes, but still they
Speaker 5: will call it murder, she wrote, And I will have
Speaker 5: the expectation that Angela Lansbury is gonna roll her ass
Speaker 5: out there. And I always thought growing up, it was like,
Speaker 5: why is it people always die when this woman is
Speaker 5: around and no one ever.
Speaker 4: Thinks she was the common denominator? Cabot Cove was really
Speaker 4: just like the Killing Fields.
Speaker 2: Yes, how is it every time you show up someone
Speaker 2: drops dead and seemingly no one knows why.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that doctor Seth he was busy. Think of the
Speaker 4: number of autopsies he had to crank through in a week.
Speaker 2: Come on, and I'm not gonna watch it because I'm
Speaker 2: gonna still feel compelled.
Speaker 3: It's like, this is not that.
Speaker 4: No, And I gotta you know, I feel like I'm
Speaker 4: aging myself by revealing all this stuff. But Murder, she wrote,
Speaker 4: is a gold mine for philosophy if you pay attention
Speaker 4: to the way she responds to people. She's like a
Speaker 4: zen mistress.
Speaker 2: She's like a super psychologist, can talk her way out
Speaker 2: of anything. Because many times she was in harm's way
Speaker 2: and she was getting ready to get merked, and somehow
Speaker 2: she talked her way out of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also, Angela Lansbury a terrific actress. And if you want
Speaker 4: to go like the Andy Griffith rut with a face
Speaker 4: in the crowd, watch her in The Manchurian Candida. Yeah,
Speaker 4: she wasn't just a phone at in TV. I don't
Speaker 4: know that was that was great great.
Speaker 2: Just her role as mom get over gotten quote Mom,
Speaker 2: we can do this all night, but we got to
Speaker 2: go to break the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Well, that game's over. Let me just say that. I
Speaker 3: think it's like ten to four. Now they just they just.
Speaker 2: Give no because now it's eleven.
Speaker 3: Now it's eleven to four. Yeah, let's start generating momentum.
Speaker 2: And I'm afraid one game is gonna turn into two,
Speaker 2: it's going to turn into three, and what was going
Speaker 2: to be the greatest moment in Dodger history is going
Speaker 2: to turn into you know, annihilation that I have to
Speaker 2: watch for another forty years and I don't want that
Speaker 2: to happen.
Speaker 4: Well, we can drink in celebration or we can drink
Speaker 4: in sadness.
Speaker 3: As long as we get to drink.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: What would it take?
Speaker 2: Just in case you were unsure or concerned, what would
Speaker 2: it take to get you back in a McDonald's Because
Speaker 2: the e coli outbreak has had a profound impact on
Speaker 2: the McDonald's stock, its perception, and just overall the news coverage. Wednesday,
Speaker 2: the day last week, the day after the e coli
Speaker 2: outbreak was announced, customer visits to McDonald's dropped six point
Speaker 2: four percent. Across the country and twenty four percent in Colorado,
Speaker 2: where the outbreak was most prevalent. Then last Thursday, visits
Speaker 2: to McDonald's dropped nine percent nationwide and thirty one percent
Speaker 2: in Colorado. And on last Friday, visits declined ten percent
Speaker 2: around the country and thirty three percent in Cole Dorado.
Speaker 2: So again I asked the question, what would make you
Speaker 2: want to or feel comfortable enough with going back to McDonald's.
Speaker 2: I don't go to McDonald's that often. I would say
Speaker 2: it's maybe once every other month. And I can tell
Speaker 2: you when I would go. It would be Saturday morning
Speaker 2: and I need to pick up some food real quick
Speaker 2: before I go open up the dojng. I'm going to
Speaker 2: teach three classes and it's right along the way. That's
Speaker 2: the only time I'm geting McDonald's. And it's always breakfast food.
Speaker 4: What at McDonald's lends itself to a pre workout meal
Speaker 4: that doesn't teaching.
Speaker 3: I didn't say workout. No no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2: I would never eat McDonald's if I was getting ready
Speaker 2: to work out. No, no, we're dark colored pants. I
Speaker 2: would I would look. Anyone who's had a hard martial
Speaker 2: arts class knows that that's the quickest way.
Speaker 3: That's the direct route of throwing up. Uh huh.
Speaker 2: You will throw up in the middle of class or
Speaker 2: don't want to dank in the class either or right?
Speaker 3: Yes, bad. Would never do that if I were going
Speaker 3: to be working out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, put a waste basket at the edge of the mat.
Speaker 3: Look eco or not.
Speaker 1: I I've sworn off of McDonald's, and I'm I'm thankful
Speaker 1: that I'm at more of my kids are at that
Speaker 1: age where they don't want McDonalds, and well, you know,
Speaker 1: there was a point time where they were young, McDonald's
Speaker 1: just get the chicken, nuggs whatever. No, now they're like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I have sworn off of McDonald's forever. More so,
Speaker 1: you know, to me, this egalized like okay, okay.
Speaker 2: So thus just the brand McDonald's just that particular restaurant,
Speaker 2: or you find going to Jack in the.
Speaker 1: Box, this brand McDonald's now Jack and the crack starts
Speaker 1: to having eco ee outbreaks within a man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what surprised me. The numbers you read.
Speaker 4: How are they still even as high as they are
Speaker 4: given the E COLI I don't know, and I thought
Speaker 4: it would.
Speaker 3: Have more of a measurable impact than that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's measurable, but even more so because for me,
Speaker 2: you can tell me that it only impacted the onions
Speaker 2: on this particular burger, and that's all I need to
Speaker 2: worry about.
Speaker 3: I'm still staying.
Speaker 2: Away because I always assume it's worse than.
Speaker 3: What we know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, what would it take to keep more
Speaker 4: people than that away? People getting sick and dying clearly
Speaker 4: isn't enough.
Speaker 2: Well, I think for the most part, if you are
Speaker 2: a big proponent of McDonald's, it doesn't really matter. It
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter because you're not talking about quality of food.
Speaker 2: You're not talking about health conscious food. If you're going
Speaker 2: to McDonald's with any type of regularity, well.
Speaker 3: That ain't me.
Speaker 2: No, it's not me eat maybe once a year. No, no, No,
Speaker 2: I have my other food vices. It's never been McDonald's.
Speaker 2: It's never been, not since maybe I was a teenager. No,
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 4: I mean, I understand that all fast food and junk
Speaker 4: food and things like that are chemically engineered to make
Speaker 4: you crave them and want to not stop eating them,
Speaker 4: suppress your fullness impulses. But none of that stuff appeals
Speaker 4: to me, except just in a pinch. If I'm just
Speaker 4: dying and need something and desperate.
Speaker 2: I think of McDonald's particularly like I do SODA's. I
Speaker 2: don't drink sodas. I don't reach for sodas if I'm thirsty.
Speaker 2: The last thing I want is a carbonated beverage. I
Speaker 2: just don't drink it. Now, if I were in dire
Speaker 2: need of something and that's the literally the only thing
Speaker 2: that's there, then I'll get a soda. I think of
Speaker 2: McDonald's the same way, with exception of McDonald's breakfast, and
Speaker 2: you could have breakfast any time of the day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have like two cans of coke a year
Speaker 4: if that. But do you remember in the days when
Speaker 4: it was just normal for people to just steadily drink
Speaker 4: that stuff. Yep, well, it was just part of everybody's day.
Speaker 1: But again, McDonald's taps into a segment of society where
Speaker 1: they're eating on the go and lots of time. Even
Speaker 1: when my kids were young, my giddy McDonald's consisted of
Speaker 1: I've picked, you know, my daughter up from dance class,
Speaker 1: my son up from taekwondo, and I'm in a rush
Speaker 1: to get them home. They need something to eat real quick.
Speaker 1: They don't want you know, do you guys want a
Speaker 1: poil Local? No, you guys maybe want a subway sounds no,
Speaker 1: what McDonald's. Okay, we'retopping a by mcdonal's. Why because I'm
Speaker 1: in a hurry and I forgot to get them going.
Speaker 1: But again they if I say, you guys want some McDonald's,
Speaker 1: They're like, oh no, but the McDonald's just down the street.
Speaker 1: That line is damn near around the corner. Again to
Speaker 1: day when I'm pulling up to the station.
Speaker 2: But I will say there is one place I will
Speaker 2: make a great exception for we'll go out of my
Speaker 2: way for, and that's Wendy's. Absolutely, absolutely yeah, I will
Speaker 2: go out of my way for some Wendy's.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm waiting for the punchline. Is there a punchline?
Speaker 3: No, there's no punchline.
Speaker 4: Oh this isn't a bit. You're you genuinely have some
Speaker 4: inexplicable love for Wendy's.
Speaker 1: I would say this, and this is not because Ed
Speaker 1: has treated us to delicious Windy's treats when he's dropped
Speaker 1: them by. I actually stop buying Wendy's and pick up
Speaker 1: some of their chicken sanwiches sometimes if I have time
Speaker 1: to go and get something in the morning, I still
Speaker 1: love their potatoes.
Speaker 3: Do they still have potatoes?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I used to get There are so many
Speaker 1: choice options to get there, and for me, just for me,
Speaker 1: they are on my way. I'm one of those individuals
Speaker 1: when if I'm driving somewhere, I have to go to
Speaker 1: the place on my way and on the same side
Speaker 1: of the street. If it's across the street, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna go across the street, and they get back on
Speaker 1: my route.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: After dropping off my daughter in the morning, the very
Speaker 1: first spot that I hit that does not have a
Speaker 1: line or the line is moving quickly is the Wendy's.
Speaker 1: The McDonald's line is usually and the Madonnas on the
Speaker 1: other side of the street, and the line is all
Speaker 1: the way outside. And I'm like, you eat your egal
Speaker 1: Ie burgers or your salwiches in the morning.
Speaker 4: I hope the two of you caught last night when
Speaker 4: I played a Wendy's Where's the Beef?
Speaker 3: Clip? Yes, well I heard it, okay, I heard your
Speaker 3: where's the beach?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it's so obscure, you know, the younger folks today
Speaker 2: have no idea where that comes from.
Speaker 4: Yeah, watched Clara Peller and a Wendy's commercial Some Murder
Speaker 4: she wrote, and then sign Your Last Will and Testament.
Speaker 3: She actually did a lot of work outside of Wendy's.
Speaker 3: Oh I know. Yeah, her adult work was something else.
Speaker 3: Wait what? Never mind? Wait never mind? Where's the beef? No? No, no,
Speaker 3: damn it, don't have it? Come on, we haven't had
Speaker 3: one all night? Have we to go?
Speaker 2: There's a reason because no, it was what I don't
Speaker 2: get it? Oh wow, I'm glad you didn't get it.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: But if you detest traveling, or you don't like the
Speaker 2: whole process of flying, well I might have some good
Speaker 2: news for you. Remember those times where you were probably
Speaker 2: stranded on the tarmac or your flight was delayed, it
Speaker 2: definitely and you didn't know when you might be taking off,
Speaker 2: and you're almost being held hostage. You didn't know what
Speaker 2: you should do. Should you rebook a flight on or
Speaker 2: book a flight on a different airline? Should you just
Speaker 2: cancel all together? And if you canceled, you couldn't get
Speaker 2: your money back. I know it was a pain in
Speaker 2: the ass. Well, now, if your flight is canceled or
Speaker 2: delayed by more than three hours, which is not saying
Speaker 2: much for any type of airline travel for a domestic
Speaker 2: trip or six hours for an international one, you're automatically
Speaker 2: entitled to a refund. I wish I would have known
Speaker 2: about this the past fifteen times my flight was delayed.
Speaker 4: You ever had to sleep in an airport?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, which one I've slept in? Lax? I've slept
Speaker 3: in O'Hare.
Speaker 2: DC, Pittsburgh that I know of, And I want to
Speaker 2: say lax, if only because I did want to drive
Speaker 2: home and it was like maybe six hours in between
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 4: I feel like we need serious compensation if we ever
Speaker 4: have to go to sleep in an airport.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I remember I had a flight issue going to Dallas
Speaker 2: like a year and a half ago, and they were
Speaker 2: nice enough to put me up in a hotel.
Speaker 3: But still they didn't give me my money back.
Speaker 2: They were just saying, we'll just fly you out the
Speaker 2: next day and we'll give you this voucher for a hotel. Well,
Speaker 2: what if I just want my money back so I
Speaker 2: can jump in the car and drive off. Couldn't get
Speaker 2: that no, no, no, you couldn't have that. So this
Speaker 2: I could use. I could see myself using when I
Speaker 2: was in college, talk about when I had to sleep
Speaker 2: in an airport. I was snowed in in DC and
Speaker 2: it was at Dulles Airport, which is a good forty
Speaker 2: miles from Georgetown University. There was no point in trying
Speaker 2: to go back to Georgetown because back then there was
Speaker 2: no uber, it was a cab and it was way
Speaker 2: too expensive for a college student. So I slept in
Speaker 2: the airport and waited til the snow had abated, and
Speaker 2: then I got a flight out the next morning. And
Speaker 2: one time at Pittsburgh in a connection got snowed in
Speaker 2: as well, so I had to stay at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: With these airport rules, it's kind of like knowing your
Speaker 4: rights to quote to a cop who pulls you over
Speaker 4: or tries to take your phone. You have to sometimes
Speaker 4: be able to recite what you're entitled to to the
Speaker 4: person at the airport desk.
Speaker 3: But it's also a leverage situation.
Speaker 2: They know that they have you where you have limited options,
Speaker 2: and you're trying to get somewhere relatively soon, so the
Speaker 2: odds of you canceling are slim and none.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also, we see these viral videos all the time of
Speaker 4: people having freakouts and shouting in airport departure lounges. Those
Speaker 4: are taken out of context. I think if you knew
Speaker 4: the full context, you'd be on the side of the
Speaker 4: person freaking out.
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of the time. I probably would be on
Speaker 3: their side.
Speaker 2: I probably would not condone their particular behavior because I'm
Speaker 2: the one.
Speaker 3: I am not going to yell at you.
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm going to very quietly use profanity and
Speaker 2: cuss you out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to role play right now.
Speaker 2: It'd be one of those things where I'm sorry, sir,
Speaker 2: the flight's already boarded and we can't reopen the door
Speaker 2: and let anybody else on. Okay, but it says on
Speaker 2: my boarding past I am twelve D. Yeah, but you
Speaker 2: were you were late. I did see you standing in
Speaker 2: line as we were boarding, but you just didn't get
Speaker 2: to the front of the line soon enough, and so
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to do what we can to rebook you.
Speaker 2: But you did not at any time say that the
Speaker 2: boarding was closed or that you were closing the doors
Speaker 2: and it was too late for me to board. I
Speaker 2: have a ticket that I've paid for, and it says
Speaker 2: on my boarding pass that I'm cleared to board. Now
Speaker 2: I should be on that flight because obviously there's someone's
Speaker 2: sitting on my seat who should not be sitting in
Speaker 2: my seat.
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, I'm looking at the plane. It has not left.
Speaker 4: I hear you, sir, and please don't raise your voice
Speaker 4: to me. Unfortunately, sir, there's there's nothing I can do
Speaker 4: at this point.
Speaker 3: Okay, I know there's nothing that you can. I can
Speaker 3: give you an email to our corporate headquarters, sir.
Speaker 2: Okay, what about your supervisor who's standing around and I
Speaker 2: speak to that person, He's.
Speaker 4: Just gonna tell you to talk to me, sir. Okay,
Speaker 4: then let's do that.
Speaker 2: Let's do that. Let's let's see this through to its
Speaker 2: full conclusion. We've exhausted all our all our options, sir,
Speaker 2: we have. We're gonna if I can give you the
Speaker 2: email to corporate headquarters. Okay, thank you for the email.
Speaker 2: Now let's talk to the person. Can I walk over
Speaker 2: and I'll just walk over?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no, he's gonna just steer you right
Speaker 4: back here, and then you'll have to get to the
Speaker 4: end of the line and wait to get all the
Speaker 4: way to the front to talk to me again.
Speaker 2: So, but you've already said I've missed my flight, so
Speaker 2: there's nothing that I'm going.
Speaker 4: To lose here. Yeah, I'm sorry. There's really nothing I
Speaker 4: can do unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you can't do anything for me. Let's just
Speaker 2: in the conversation. Let me just go talk to your superor.
Speaker 2: What's his name or her name? I'm sorry I can't
Speaker 2: help you with that.
Speaker 4: And in fact, if you can move to the side
Speaker 4: so I can help the next person, i'd appreciate that thing.
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. Is it mister, mister? Don't you have
Speaker 3: my information in front of you? That's okay, it's it's
Speaker 3: been a pleasure serving you, sir. That's okay. No, No, that's okay.
Speaker 3: I got time now.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid I don't we we really have to get
Speaker 4: moving next, please next.
Speaker 2: So you're to rus so you understand what it's like
Speaker 2: to be in a rush and someone who's jerking you around.
Speaker 4: Sir, if you're going to use that kind of abusive language,
Speaker 4: I'm unfortunately going to have to end this conversation.
Speaker 3: But thank you.
Speaker 2: First I thought were flying, but I didn't fly. I'm standing.
Speaker 2: I'm standing, and I have a ticket and I should
Speaker 2: be flying. But the door is closed and you're saying
Speaker 2: that you can't open it, and the plane is still there.
Speaker 2: Obviously they're waiting for something for you to tell them
Speaker 2: that it's okay to leave.
Speaker 4: I feel like you've escalated, sir, and we're going to
Speaker 4: have to call security. So if you could just calm down.
Speaker 3: Plane, I'm very calm. I have not raised my voice.
Speaker 4: I need to see your hands, sir. Oh you don't
Speaker 4: want to see me take your hands out of your pocket, sir.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, because you're going to use that
Speaker 2: as a sign of aggression. I'm not going to allow
Speaker 2: that from you.
Speaker 4: You're making me feel threatened, okay, But my feelings are
Speaker 4: irrelevant here.
Speaker 2: I'm just talking about the facts. I have a boarding pass,
Speaker 2: I should be on that plane. Your supervisor is right
Speaker 2: over there. You've that's your supervisor. So why are we
Speaker 2: delaying the inevitable?
Speaker 4: Maybe we can give you some free air miles or
Speaker 4: something like that, but but honestly, I'm sorry to tell
Speaker 4: you there's nothing else we can do for you at
Speaker 4: this time.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, but I just read the other day that
Speaker 2: you must grant a refund if you cannot, let's say,
Speaker 2: consummate my itenerary.
Speaker 4: Consummate consummate right here in the middle of the lounge. Well,
Speaker 4: you know, the benches really aren't set up for any
Speaker 4: form of consummation, sir.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, are you ready to give me my refund?
Speaker 4: I am ready to have you take a time out,
Speaker 4: sir while you de escalate, because you're you're making me
Speaker 4: a little uneasy. Okay, go ahead and call security, all right, sir,
Speaker 4: if you just stand right where you are, except move
Speaker 4: move to the side.
Speaker 3: Just a little bit so I can help the next customer.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I want you to call security, because
Speaker 2: if you're going to call security, at least you get
Speaker 2: my money's worth.
Speaker 4: I don't like the tone in your voice, sir, And
Speaker 4: if we could, I'm gonna have to well.
Speaker 3: I don't like that jacket you're wearing.
Speaker 2: You're gonna like what's under it even less to be truthful.
Speaker 2: That is the real me, that is exactly me, Okay,
Speaker 2: Because in other words, if I cannot get what I
Speaker 2: feel that I am deserving a purchase, then at the
Speaker 2: very minimum, I'm going to frustrate your day. At the
Speaker 2: very minimum, I think you and I may be more
Speaker 2: fortunate because we've had careers that have relied on talking
Speaker 2: to people and persuading people and laying out cases and arguments,
Speaker 2: and so the public service that we can provide on
Speaker 2: the radio here is giving people ammunition, like here's what
Speaker 2: you do at the water cooler, here's what you do
Speaker 2: at the airport counter and right. And you have to
Speaker 2: know inherently where that line is because you really don't
Speaker 2: want to get arrested. You don't want to be brought
Speaker 2: up on federal charges because you know airport is a
Speaker 2: federal facility, so you do have to be mindful of that.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you do have rights as
Speaker 2: a consumer, and that's what we're talking about right now.
Speaker 3: If they cannot.
Speaker 2: Give you what you paid for, well, someone still should
Speaker 2: accommodate you on some level in that moment.
Speaker 4: And it's easy to escalate too if you're standing there
Speaker 4: in line and they're boarding and that's moving slow, right.
Speaker 2: And that's why I would not get out line, because
Speaker 2: I would force the issue where this person has to
Speaker 2: address me and handle my situation for that line to move.
Speaker 2: Now I know everyone behind me is calling me, every
Speaker 2: dame in the book. But if I'm not getting on
Speaker 2: the plane, none of these mother fathers behind me, you're
Speaker 2: getting on the plane. Like It's like if I'm going
Speaker 2: to be frustrated and I'm going to be missing out
Speaker 2: on the slight sore all of you.
Speaker 4: We're all in this together. That's what I like the Flintstones.
Speaker 4: We don't get on a wing if we don't have
Speaker 4: enough money.
Speaker 2: So but the good life, the good news is that
Speaker 2: if your flight is canceled or delayed by more than
Speaker 2: three hours for a domestic itinerary or six hours international,
Speaker 2: and I've dealt with both, you're automatically entitled to a refund. Now,
Speaker 2: of course, you'll have airlines who will try to offer
Speaker 2: some sort of other recompense, you know, to make you
Speaker 2: not choose the reform, because they don't want to give
Speaker 2: you money. They'll give you a free flight, they'll give
Speaker 2: you an upgrade, they will give you free peanuts or something,
Speaker 2: but they don't want to give you your money back.
Speaker 2: And that's the whole point. They always want to delay
Speaker 2: giving you actual money.
Speaker 4: Our Secretary of Transportation, Pete buddhaj Edge, has been very
Speaker 4: good about doing media hits or he explains to people. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: you're entitled to this, this and this. They have to
Speaker 4: give you this, he said.
Speaker 2: Quote Passengers deserve to get their money back when an
Speaker 2: airline owes them, without headaches or haggling.
Speaker 3: And there you have it. Think of us the next
Speaker 3: time you're in line and you've just been doing it
Speaker 3: to capitate the person. Don't.
Speaker 2: But no, you're right. It's Later with mo Kelly. If
Speaker 2: I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and girls. Dying Times here. It's
Speaker 3: Later with Moll Kelly.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Dying Time is here.
Speaker 2: People are killing themselves and I'm sorry, I don't exactly
Speaker 2: feel sorry for them when they do it like this.
Speaker 2: A thirty seven year old Kansas woman was killed after
Speaker 2: she backed into a plane's spilling propeller. She did so
Speaker 2: while trying to take photos. Amanda Gallagher dearly departed, a
Speaker 2: photographer was on the plane to snap photos of skydivers
Speaker 2: this past Saturday afternoon, and she rode the plane back
Speaker 2: down after the sky divers jumped, and this is according
Speaker 2: to the Air Capitol Drop Zone. The plane landed at
Speaker 2: the site in Derby, outside of Wichita, and the next
Speaker 2: set of jumpers went to board the Air Capitol Drop
Speaker 2: Zone chip and.
Speaker 3: It was a Cessna on.
Speaker 2: It was on the ground, but the propellers were still spinning,
Speaker 2: the engine was still running, and this is according to
Speaker 2: the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office and the FAA quote. For
Speaker 2: unknown reasons, she as an Amanda, moved in front of
Speaker 2: a wing, which is a violation of basic safety procedures.
Speaker 2: I don't know who else was there other than the
Speaker 2: pilot obviously in the plane. I can't tell you what
Speaker 2: specifically she was taking photos of. If it were people,
Speaker 2: I would say, why didn't the people say, hey, look out,
Speaker 2: propeller behind you? But nonetheless, it goes on with her
Speaker 2: camera up to shoot photos.
Speaker 3: As she did so, she stepped back.
Speaker 2: Slightly, moving toward and into the spinning propeller. Why she
Speaker 2: did not hear it behind her, Why she did not
Speaker 2: feel the wish of the air behind her, I don't know.
Speaker 2: All I do know is she's no longer living. Gallagher,
Speaker 2: who was also of Wichitalk was taken to a hospital
Speaker 2: where she died from her injuries. It's a very sad story,
Speaker 2: but it's not like I can feel sorry for Because
Speaker 2: if you are taking pictures in front of an airplane
Speaker 2: while the propellers are spinning and are not aware of
Speaker 2: your surroundings, and you back into the propeller while your
Speaker 2: head is in that viewfinder of your phone, yeah you're.
Speaker 3: Probably gonna die.
Speaker 1: All I saw was that classic scene in the very
Speaker 1: first Indiana Jelles film where he's fighting the Nazi soldier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he DUTs and that propeller takes apart. That's all
Speaker 1: I thought when I saw this story. Look all right,
Speaker 1: I know it's all of That's all I thought.
Speaker 3: All of this is something I would never do. One.
Speaker 3: I would never get involved in skydiving. Okay, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to go on the plane.
Speaker 2: Even though she wasn't skydiving, she was there just you know,
Speaker 2: hanging out.
Speaker 3: I don't hang out on a sky diving plane. Okay.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to jump out of a plane,
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna get onto a tarmac with the
Speaker 2: propeller spinning and just hang around and then try to
Speaker 2: take pictures of something or someone and then and obviously
Speaker 2: she was aware that the plane was still around her,
Speaker 2: just wasn't aware that it was right behind her.
Speaker 3: How is that even possible? How do you not know
Speaker 3: that there's a plane right behind you?
Speaker 1: Mo the number of stories that we have added to
Speaker 1: the Dying Time collection of people taking selfies and dying.
Speaker 1: The woman who was taking the last time I think
Speaker 1: we had a story about a woman taking selfies that
Speaker 1: died was she was taking selfies near what a train
Speaker 1: track and backed into the oncoming train that took her out.
Speaker 1: And you say to yourself, how do you not hear
Speaker 1: a train coming when people are taking selfies, they're very
Speaker 1: self involved.
Speaker 2: Well, in this case, if she were taking a selfie,
Speaker 2: she would have noticed the propellers right behind her.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: Maybe, I only I can only imagine the scene.
Speaker 2: How many people have died just because they want to
Speaker 2: take a picture, to take a cool picture, to take
Speaker 2: a thrilling picture, to take a picture near danger, and
Speaker 2: instead end up dying in the process. This was completely avoidable.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like she woke up today, oh I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be you know, impaled by a a propeller today.
Speaker 3: No, that wasn't an intention. But it's like, how do
Speaker 3: we lose all common sense?
Speaker 2: How do we not know that when you're on a tarmac,
Speaker 2: that's the place where you have to be.
Speaker 3: Aware at all times, at all times. Was she impelled
Speaker 3: or was she chopped up? I don't know, well, I
Speaker 3: was giving a benefit of doubt. They just said it
Speaker 3: took her to the hospital.
Speaker 2: She didn't survive her injuries, So I'm gonna assume it's
Speaker 2: one both. You know, I'm thinking this, look slice dice
Speaker 2: gets you knife.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. It was not a
Speaker 3: pretty sign. That's not a pretty sid.
Speaker 1: She probably looked like a McDonald's burger after that. Oh
Speaker 1: why do you got to do that to mcdye. No,
Speaker 1: McDonald's a kid.
Speaker 3: Oh you give him one.
