Speaker 1: If I am six forty, it's a later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and of course
Speaker 2: on YouTube. And if you've been missing the YouTube party,
Speaker 2: shame on you. But it's not too late to get
Speaker 2: your ticket to the hottest party in town. Just go
Speaker 2: to YouTube at mister mo Kelly m R M O
Speaker 2: K E l l Y. You can see the show
Speaker 2: as it happens. You can participate in the show in
Speaker 2: the chat that means log onto YouTube. And this is
Speaker 2: what my mom does, and I recommend for everyone. If
Speaker 2: you have like a Roku TV, just go ahead and
Speaker 2: open up the YouTube app. You can find the show.
Speaker 2: You can watch it on your TV. You don't have
Speaker 2: to watch it on phone. You don't have to watch
Speaker 2: it on your laptop. You can watch it on your
Speaker 2: eighty mch screen. And everybody wants to see me in
Speaker 2: eighty inches high death, don't start mark WHOA I need.
Speaker 1: To see your pores up close? Yes?
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't even like looking at myself in the
Speaker 3: mirror like that. It's like way too much definition.
Speaker 2: Life.
Speaker 3: Did not think about that possibility until you just said
Speaker 3: that that they can put us on yes, big old
Speaker 3: screen it just all of us are faces right there.
Speaker 1: Well, there's another way you can do it.
Speaker 2: You can just take out your phone and you can
Speaker 2: cast it, yeah, to your television or your laptop or whoever.
Speaker 1: You don't have to watch it on the phone. You
Speaker 1: don't have to. I mean you can. You can take your.
Speaker 2: Phone with you because there's nothing better than MO on
Speaker 2: the go. I get that, but you don't have to
Speaker 2: watch it on your phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you said that.
Speaker 3: I think we need a pete Hegseth makeup studio in here. Oh,
Speaker 3: don't get me started on that. No, no, no, this
Speaker 3: is serious. We need if we're gonna be on people's
Speaker 3: high def TVs, we need to look better than we look. Well,
Speaker 3: I should start doing push ups in the studio, just
Speaker 3: because everybody wants to see that. It's the warrior mentality,
Speaker 3: but ethos, it's the worrior ethos. Oh, my bad warrior
Speaker 3: ethos ethos. But we have so much that we're going
Speaker 3: to cover tonight. Some of it's silly, some of it's serious,
Speaker 3: but definitely you want to participate and partake in the show.
Speaker 3: And the only way that you can really really do
Speaker 3: that to get the full experience is to watch us
Speaker 3: on YouTube and participate in the chat. We have Carnesia
Speaker 3: who's running the chat, and she is, i'll say, the warden.
Speaker 1: Of the chat.
Speaker 2: You step out of line, she's going to put you
Speaker 2: in solitary. She's going to put you out of the
Speaker 2: chat altogether. So just understand, I'm going to be participating
Speaker 2: as well. I'm going to be typing up some responses.
Speaker 2: But if you go too far in this direction or
Speaker 2: that direction, you start saying some really inappropriate things, You're gone,
Speaker 2: just like that. And it won't be my fault. Carneesia
Speaker 2: just has the acts and she is not afraid to
Speaker 2: use it. But we have so much to cover. I
Speaker 2: don't even know where to start. But I will say this,
Speaker 2: and this is actually previewing my final thought. I think
Speaker 2: we need to have a discussion about the idea of manhood.
Speaker 2: We have this caricature of what manhood is, alpha males
Speaker 2: and all that. I don't want to give it too
Speaker 2: much away, but that is going to be my final thought,
Speaker 2: and it's going to tie into a number of these
Speaker 2: topics that.
Speaker 1: We're going to discuss tonight.
Speaker 2: In fact, in the next segment, we have to talk
Speaker 2: about the Kobe and John Bryant murall which was vandalized today,
Speaker 2: and also shout out to Lukadanca, who contributed five thousand
Speaker 2: dollars at least, I know it might have even been
Speaker 2: more to have that mural restored. And that's kind of
Speaker 2: related to what I want to talk about. What we
Speaker 2: supposedly think is important, who we supposedly respect. And I'm
Speaker 2: real big on respect, I mean, really really big on respect.
Speaker 2: Respect in terms of children towards adults, students versus teachers,
Speaker 2: young people versus older and elderly, all of that's that's
Speaker 2: really big in my life. And unfortunately we live in
Speaker 2: a society and I'll talk about this as well, but
Speaker 2: there really is in any more respect. It's a common
Speaker 2: refrain that I hear is well, you have to earn respect. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's not something you earn. If I encounter someone who
Speaker 2: is not being disrespectful, why does that person need to
Speaker 2: earn my respect? And maybe this is connected to my
Speaker 2: martial arts experience. I don't walk into my dojong, which
Speaker 2: is a studio and have students respect me or not
Speaker 2: respect me based on whether I prove to them I'm
Speaker 2: worthy of respect. That's backwards to me, I don't have
Speaker 2: to prove to a child that a child is supposed
Speaker 2: to respect me.
Speaker 1: I don't have to earn that child's respect.
Speaker 2: I'm going to conduct myself in a respectful manner, but
Speaker 2: I don't need to earn anyone's respect. And if you
Speaker 2: think that I need to earn your respect before you
Speaker 2: will show me respect, oh we're gonna have a misunderstanding.
Speaker 2: Because if you walk around with this idea that everyone
Speaker 2: needs to earn your respect, and nobody respects anyone nobody.
Speaker 2: Do you think that if I encounter Mark Ronner on
Speaker 2: the street, he needs to earn my respect before I
Speaker 2: demonstrate respect to him. Now, you can lose someone's respect
Speaker 2: by all means, but I think the default switch should
Speaker 2: be set at respect. I don't need to encounter a
Speaker 2: woman and know about her to decide whether I'm going
Speaker 2: to to respect her. That's silly, that's really backwards. If
Speaker 2: I were to say to a woman, you need to
Speaker 2: earn my respect, you see how silly that sounds. So
Speaker 2: why is it we would apply that in any other situation.
Speaker 2: We have a loss and lack of respect in our
Speaker 2: society because we are so self centered. We think It's
Speaker 2: all about someone proving to us individually and collectively that somehow,
Speaker 2: until they prove that we've earned their respect, they have
Speaker 2: no reason to give it. And that has never been
Speaker 2: the case, not ever. Can you imagine going to talking
Speaker 2: to your child, a minor child, and a child saying,
Speaker 2: you have to earn my respect.
Speaker 1: Mother, father? What? Go clean your room? Why? Because I
Speaker 1: said so, We've got it backwards.
Speaker 2: In this society, and I always talk about this permissive society.
Speaker 2: There's going to be a theme running through the whole
Speaker 2: show tonight. For all the things that we don't like
Speaker 2: about Los Angeles, all the things we don't like about
Speaker 2: californiaet there will be a through line lack of respect.
Speaker 2: And we'll get into that next. We talk about the
Speaker 2: Bryant mural, which was vandalized. Earlier today, it's Later with
Speaker 2: Moe Kelly. We're live on YouTube right now, and we're
Speaker 2: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: KFI. Mister Kelly, We're live everywhere in the iHeart Radio
Speaker 1: app and YouTube.
Speaker 2: Last segment, I was talking about respect and how that's
Speaker 2: going to be a theme throughout the show. And the
Speaker 2: initial poll that we put up on our YouTube chat
Speaker 2: Carniesia Real quick, what do they say? Fifty eight percent.
Speaker 1: Say respect should be earned. See I have a problem
Speaker 1: with that. I have a real problem with that.
Speaker 2: Let's say, for example, I have a Fourth of July
Speaker 2: party and I invite Mark Ronner. He comes to the party,
Speaker 2: brings a date or a guest with him, which is
Speaker 2: not unheard of, and the date or guests who I
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know, comes with the attitude, well,
Speaker 2: Moe has to earn my respect.
Speaker 1: You are in my house. Who's the date? Because I'm
Speaker 1: tempted to take her side? Mark? Okay, let me use Tawala.
Speaker 1: He's a better example.
Speaker 2: But my point is if the default is someone has
Speaker 2: to earn your respect and I don't even know you,
Speaker 2: well that's just confrontation waiting to happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have to earn your respect. Now. If
Speaker 2: I disrespect you and we all know what that is,
Speaker 2: then that changes the future interaction. But just because you
Speaker 2: walk in front of me, I don't know you from Adam,
Speaker 2: What do you mean I have to earn your respect?
Speaker 1: I haven't even spoken to you, What do you mean
Speaker 1: earn your respect?
Speaker 5: People that say that are individuals who are approaching you
Speaker 5: with malice in their heart, with hello aggression, with anger.
Speaker 5: They're coming at you with a problem, with a bad mood,
Speaker 5: or whatever the case may be. Because to say you've
Speaker 5: got to earn my respect, that's aggressive in it of itself.
Speaker 1: That right there is saying.
Speaker 5: I have no respect for you at all till I
Speaker 5: am going to disrespect you until you show me otherwise.
Speaker 5: So now you're saying I have to do something, and
Speaker 5: you also then are going to be upset if you
Speaker 5: don't like what I do. It sounds to me, Tuala,
Speaker 5: and we'll get to the Kobe story just a second.
Speaker 5: It sounds to me it's almost like you're saying, I'm
Speaker 5: entitled to punk you, which is an old school term.
Speaker 5: I'm entitled to punk you until you can demonstrate to
Speaker 5: me that I shouldn't punk you, like you have to
Speaker 5: prove that you're worthy of a modicum of respect. Otherwise
Speaker 5: then I am empowered to disrespect you. It is as
Speaker 5: if going right into the Kobe story with individuals who
Speaker 5: are saying that, it's saying that the artists who painted
Speaker 5: that Kobe mural is not worthy of his art piece
Speaker 5: not being graffitied over.
Speaker 2: He has to earn the respect the graffiti. He didn't
Speaker 2: even talk about this story yet, person to person. That's
Speaker 2: exactly where I'm going. It used to be, and I'm
Speaker 2: not saying it was okay, but it used to be.
Speaker 2: When we talk about tagging, it used to be where
Speaker 2: there were rules to tagging and it was built around respect.
Speaker 2: In other words, you didn't tag someone's house, you didn't
Speaker 2: tag someone's personal property. You didn't tag actual murals, which
Speaker 2: is different from just someone a graffiti on the wall.
Speaker 2: This is an actual mural of Kobe and Jigi. It
Speaker 2: was Mambas Forever muraal is at Fourteenth and Main Streets.
Speaker 2: And for some reason, I don't care. I don't respect that,
Speaker 2: no respect for society, no respect for actual art. Let
Speaker 2: me just tag over it because I feel like it.
Speaker 2: I always talk about this for missive society. This is
Speaker 2: another example there's just no respect for anything or anyone.
Speaker 2: And it just boggles my mind exactly how we got here.
Speaker 2: And we have it up on YouTube, the before and
Speaker 2: after of the mural vandalism. That's not new. But I'm
Speaker 2: old enough to remember where there were at least parameters
Speaker 2: on graffiti and tagging. There were some parameters. You didn't
Speaker 2: do it on someone's personal wall. You didn't do it
Speaker 2: on someone's garage. You didn't do it on somewhere where
Speaker 2: you obviously knew that this was private property. You didn't
Speaker 2: do it on a store wall. You If anything, it
Speaker 2: was left to public walls. It was left to spaces
Speaker 2: that were not privately owned, like the side of a freeway.
Speaker 1: And I'm not condoning that.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying there were still parameters, but there is.
Speaker 1: No respect anymore. Like a code.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a code like you don't shoot a rhino from
Speaker 3: a moving jeep, and you don't tag somebody's Tesla cybertruck
Speaker 3: in their driveway.
Speaker 1: Even in gang culture. Yeah there's a code.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, you do not tag over someone said unless
Speaker 5: you are looking for an actual problem. That is you
Speaker 5: going forward and saying I don't respect you. Not hey, rival,
Speaker 5: You've got to earn my respect. That's you saying I
Speaker 5: don't respect you, I have a problem with you. I'm
Speaker 5: looking for trouble.
Speaker 2: I would say the difference between let's say twenty five
Speaker 2: thirty years ago and now is there is no real
Speaker 2: pride when it comes to certain components or certain portions
Speaker 2: of the community. There were rules that were followed, there
Speaker 2: were things which were respected. There were things that you
Speaker 2: didn't disrespect. In other words, church's hands off, hands off,
Speaker 2: hands off. You didn't you didn't vandalize churches, you didn't
Speaker 2: try to steal from the congregation, you didn't tag churches.
Speaker 2: Now doesn't matter, it's whatever, well you're gonna say, the
Speaker 2: church in the neighborhood needs to earn your respect. Going
Speaker 2: back to that original idea, No, no, it doesn't work
Speaker 2: that way. It's that's more of a more recent phenomenon
Speaker 2: where people believe that until you can prove you're worthy
Speaker 2: of my respect, I am going to disrespect you. Do
Speaker 2: I need to have a random person on the street
Speaker 2: earn my respect? Does your mother need to earn my
Speaker 2: respect before I respect her? Does your I mean think
Speaker 2: about that. If I were introduced to your mother Tuala,
Speaker 2: do I need to have her earn my respect before
Speaker 2: I call her out her name?
Speaker 1: Right? Right?
Speaker 5: This is the logic that we're being presented with. See
Speaker 5: it to a logical concisis is this is absolute madness.
Speaker 5: The idea of going and there's uh in North Hills,
Speaker 5: not far from where my cold parents stays. There's this
Speaker 5: building and they're trying. I don't know what it's gonna
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's gonna be a Taco bell
Speaker 5: A star Wars. I have no idea what it is.
Speaker 5: But they've been building up this storefront for a while
Speaker 5: and every time we passed by, and for the longest
Speaker 5: time it had graffiti all over. When it was just
Speaker 5: under constructs, had boards all over the place, and we said, wow,
Speaker 5: they are really tagging us up. When they took the
Speaker 5: boards down, we thought, okay, they're up. They're putting a
Speaker 5: wall's glass all of that. This is a new spot
Speaker 5: in the neighborhood. This this is gonna be nice. Passed
Speaker 5: by yesterday morning. Graffiti all on not just the walls,
Speaker 5: but on these big glass windows. And I'm like, U, Soobs,
Speaker 5: why would you do that? Why are you being disrespectful
Speaker 5: to this business that is trying to grow and prosper
Speaker 5: in the community that you arguably live in.
Speaker 2: I don't understand that for the life of me. I
Speaker 2: was having a conversation. This was years ago. This was
Speaker 2: years ago, and this was also anecdotal. And I was
Speaker 2: asking this young person, why is it you don't think
Speaker 2: that there is any graffiti in Beverly Hills or any
Speaker 2: of the other communities. And I want to say, he's
Speaker 2: maybe thirteen or fourteen years old. And his answer was
Speaker 2: along the lines of, well, they have money, and I said, no,
Speaker 2: it's not money, it's mentality. It's the mentality to believe
Speaker 2: that this is our neighborhood, this is our community, be
Speaker 2: it Beverly Hills or Baldwin Hills, and this is something
Speaker 2: that either we're going to allow or we're not going
Speaker 2: to allow. And it's not that they own every other house.
Speaker 2: It's because they look at it as a contiguous and
Speaker 2: connected community and so they don't want that in the community.
Speaker 2: As far as graffiti, now, you may not own that
Speaker 2: house down the street, but if you felt that that
Speaker 2: house was part of your community, you wouldn't dare tag
Speaker 2: it up. You wouldn't dare put graffiti on it because
Speaker 2: that's a reflection of where you live.
Speaker 1: Would you tag your own bedroom?
Speaker 2: Because I'm speaking to a child now, so he doesn't
Speaker 2: think about it in terms of his house.
Speaker 1: It's like, would you tag your own bedroom? No, you wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Because why that's where you stay, not be clean all
Speaker 2: the time. Your mama may say I need you to
Speaker 2: clean up your room, but you wouldn't tag it up
Speaker 2: because that's a function of you and where you live.
Speaker 2: And people adopted that idea beyond just where they're standing,
Speaker 2: then you'd have a greater sense of community. And I
Speaker 2: think we're getting further and further away from that. That's
Speaker 2: the point here, And I think when you acknowledge that,
Speaker 2: then you can see, well, yeah, I'll tag a Mamba's
Speaker 2: forever mural.
Speaker 1: Why should I care about that? That has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with me.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't need to respect anything in my
Speaker 2: community because they haven't earned my respect. That mural hasn't
Speaker 2: earned my respect. It's a mentality that permeates everything that
Speaker 2: goes on. And it's not just this portion of the community.
Speaker 2: This we go to the show I'm talking about once again,
Speaker 2: here's that lack of respect that we just don't have anymore.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: You see it play out every single day on social media.
Speaker 2: That's the most obvious avenue where there is no respect.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me someone needs to earn your respect.
Speaker 2: Before you call me out of my name on social media.
Speaker 1: At mister mo Kellen, right, No, but.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, you know, we see it in the YouTube
Speaker 2: chat for example, what do you mean I have to
Speaker 2: earn your respect.
Speaker 1: I haven't said anything about you individually or collectively. I
Speaker 1: haven't said anything.
Speaker 2: And it's weird how, especially in radio, people take everything personally.
Speaker 2: I could talk about, for example, Donald Trump, and people
Speaker 2: think I've been insulting him or her or them personally.
Speaker 2: So the response is not to my argument, it's not
Speaker 2: to my position. It's to insult sometimes me or people
Speaker 2: who may look like me, or the people who may
Speaker 2: sound like me, because it's about authoritative disrespect. I have
Speaker 2: the power authoritative to disrespect you because I don't like
Speaker 2: what you have to say. Not that I've done anything
Speaker 2: to disrespect that person, but the mentality is there's no
Speaker 2: need for respect because I didn't earn quote unquote their respect.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't like the idea of anyone in the
Speaker 5: chat feeling like anything that is said or seen or
Speaker 5: heard on the show is worthy of your disrespect because
Speaker 5: in your mind, you're listening like we haven't earned my respect.
Speaker 5: So I'm going to start it off with disrespect. I'm
Speaker 5: going to set it off.
Speaker 2: With Disrespect's Hey, Mo, you know I've got a problem
Speaker 2: with what you had to say yesterday about Blieza YadA YadA,
Speaker 2: yadah blah blah blah. We can go from there, yeah,
Speaker 2: because you've come from a position of let's just say
Speaker 2: not disrespect. But from the moment you say, we had
Speaker 2: some people in the chat yesterday get loose. I can't
Speaker 2: believe you let Jackie Ray on the show because of this.
Speaker 2: Is that the other called those ad homonyms disrespect, But
Speaker 2: that mentality permeates everything that I see in society today.
Speaker 2: It's not just a graffiti, it's not just social media.
Speaker 2: It has to do with how we treat women. You know,
Speaker 2: this is a reason why Andrew Taitu is popular.
Speaker 5: Well with who though well but you know, with a
Speaker 5: lot of back for solb.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna get to it tonight.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Mo Kelly if I am six forty
Speaker 2: live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and when we come
Speaker 2: back on a disrespect to Walla for his support of
Speaker 2: weimot's see what I did there.
Speaker 1: We're live on YouTube.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's later with mo Kelly live on YouTube at mister
Speaker 2: mo Kelly and the iHeartRadio app. Let's talk a little
Speaker 2: bit more about Weimo, and it might be surprising to you,
Speaker 2: Well it may not surprise you, but I have a
Speaker 2: very different take on what weimo is considering. If you
Speaker 2: didn't know, Weimo is owned by Alphabet slash Google. Weimo
Speaker 2: currently operates over seven hundred self driving vehicles and if
Speaker 2: you've never I looked at them up close, they're made
Speaker 2: by Jaguar, meaning they're not cheap quality cars. Three hundred
Speaker 2: of the seven hundred are operating in San Francisco. I
Speaker 2: can't even imagine what that city looked like with waymos
Speaker 2: everywhere everywhere, because when I drive through Culpra City and
Speaker 2: Inglewood and cities in that area, I see a lot
Speaker 2: of waymos, a lot downtown to downtown.
Speaker 1: At least two or three a day.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean, I didn't think he would ever get
Speaker 2: to that level of prevalence.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't mean either, and it's and it's here.
Speaker 2: But it also sets up this story where Weymo is
Speaker 2: thinking about selling some of their vehicles to individual owners
Speaker 2: in the future. Think of it like back in the
Speaker 2: day when you had taxis, you had taxi drivers who
Speaker 2: own their own cabs, or who would work to eventually
Speaker 2: purchase their own cabs. Or think of it another way.
Speaker 2: This could be the next vending machine business. This could
Speaker 2: be the next I don't know, like ATMs, where you
Speaker 2: would buy a car and then you could I guess,
Speaker 2: get a portion of the profits and that those profits
Speaker 2: would maybe go.
Speaker 3: To paying off the car at some point. Yes, so
Speaker 3: you can own it out right, like people that bought
Speaker 3: like those red boxes. Exactly that right, Yeah, that's like
Speaker 3: a movie vending machine. Okay, I can see where you
Speaker 3: could have a stream of income by owning a Waimo.
Speaker 1: I'm open to this.
Speaker 2: Why because I don't have to worry if someone dies
Speaker 2: in the car. It's not my fault, it's Waimo's insurance.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, but don't look at me like that carnation.
Speaker 2: There's a whole respect my opinion aspect that we have.
Speaker 5: To bring back into the story. Something I brought up
Speaker 5: when this first start coming around, the idea of it.
Speaker 5: What you all argued against me is I said, pretty
Speaker 5: soon every day people will have this. It was no,
Speaker 5: that's way too far. That's not happening anytime soon. It's
Speaker 5: literally happening. I think maybe a year from the time
Speaker 5: that I first said, yes, this will be something that
Speaker 5: will be everywhere, because first they roll it out on
Speaker 5: a corporate sense, then they roll it out to individual
Speaker 5: business owners, and then everyone will say, you know what,
Speaker 5: as soon as it's not Jaguar and it is maybe
Speaker 5: Toyota making them, then it will.
Speaker 1: Be in everyone's house.
Speaker 5: People will go to say people will be saying, you
Speaker 5: know what, I'm go on and give me a way
Speaker 5: more because I've got other things that I need to
Speaker 5: do while I'm driving on my way to work. The
Speaker 5: same way, when they first try to roll out self
Speaker 5: driving technology in the first place, people weren't in it.
Speaker 5: They were trying to do other things. A lot of
Speaker 5: people were abusing watching Harry Potter. But now we're to
Speaker 5: the point where this works. So again, promise you, within
Speaker 5: maybe a year or two, they will downsize the cost
Speaker 5: of the vehicles so that you would I can have one,
Speaker 5: and then it's over. There are no more cars on
Speaker 5: the street. Everything is self dry. If it ever got to.
Speaker 2: That point, I'm with you because one of my main
Speaker 2: concerns was I didn't think we had the infrastructure and
Speaker 2: there were too many human drivers for the Waymos. If
Speaker 2: there's nothing but Waymos or self driving cars out there,
Speaker 2: and we have a lot of movies with like movie references,
Speaker 2: like a movie like I Robot, Blade Runner, Runners or
Speaker 2: you know, or what else?
Speaker 1: Am I thinking of? Minority Report?
Speaker 5: Hell back to the future with Johnny Cab, I mean
Speaker 5: it's everywhere. No, Johnny Cab was, Oh, that was a
Speaker 5: total recalled, total reco.
Speaker 2: But the point is, yes, if that is how people
Speaker 2: are getting around town, then by all means, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to get to the point where I don't want
Speaker 2: to drive anymore just because of age. Let's say I'm
Speaker 2: seventy seventy five, yes, you know, and getting a self
Speaker 2: driving car.
Speaker 1: That's twenty years from now.
Speaker 5: I would think that the technology would be at a
Speaker 5: point where everyone would have it, and that would fundamentally
Speaker 5: change the whole idea of the car market. You are
Speaker 5: going to see this fast tracked the instant, the instant
Speaker 5: that you have individuals owning these things. The very next
Speaker 5: logical step is to make it marketable for every days
Speaker 5: just consumers period. That is the way this is going
Speaker 5: to go in fast order.
Speaker 1: And this is to be clear. Weimo's not saying you
Speaker 1: can just own your own Waymo.
Speaker 2: They're saying that you can buy a way Mo and
Speaker 2: I guess profit share and the use of it as
Speaker 2: a ride share vehicle not a personal vehicle.
Speaker 5: Yes, the reason that I say it's going to move
Speaker 5: quickly is because this is Waymo's planned. But we know
Speaker 5: that there are at least two other companies that are
Speaker 5: rapidly developing self driving automobile technology, Tesla and yes, both
Speaker 5: of them are tracking self driving car technology and not
Speaker 5: and Tesla. He has the US and he has the cabs,
Speaker 5: but he is also Elon mus has also talked about
Speaker 5: the self driving cars for everyday use. He said, we
Speaker 5: have worked out the kinks in the Tesla self driving models.
Speaker 5: And I know a few people who have that and say,
Speaker 5: you know what, it's too expensive for me right now
Speaker 5: to keep up the payments on the AI.
Speaker 1: Function for the self driving.
Speaker 5: But those I know who have it, they love it
Speaker 5: takes them home parks, all that stuff. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 5: but just that extra two hundred dollars a month, They're
Speaker 5: like an ah, Right.
Speaker 2: Here's where once again we have to have the conversation
Speaker 2: about the evolution of our community, an evolution of our
Speaker 2: society if it goes the way that we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Truck driver jobs gone, bus driver jobs gone, train operator jobs,
Speaker 2: the whole idea of having someone doing a subway train
Speaker 2: as an operator gone. Obviously, any type of ride share
Speaker 2: driver or taxi driver gone, These jobs would not ever
Speaker 2: come back. There were limousine driver just about any type
Speaker 2: of transportation with the exception of a plane, and even
Speaker 2: that may be in the often.
Speaker 5: Look, we already know that's going to happen. A lot
Speaker 5: of the opposition, a lot of the individuals vandalizing the
Speaker 5: way moos in San Francisco in the beginning, stars did
Speaker 5: the ride share drivers did not respect Waymo's growth. They
Speaker 5: want to get out there. They were putting cones, they
Speaker 5: were jumping on them. These are ride share operators who
Speaker 5: saw what exactly what you're saying. Oh, they saw the
Speaker 5: end of their industry coming fast.
Speaker 2: I wonder, and let me ask Stefan, has have you
Speaker 2: heard any conversation amongst drivers or with your communication with
Speaker 2: Uber that Uber is looking in that direction of self
Speaker 2: driving cars.
Speaker 3: I know that they are, but everyone that I've talked
Speaker 3: to is kind of sounds like you. They don't want
Speaker 3: to take averless car. They're just too scared. And then
Speaker 3: the other side is because they usually work Friday and
Speaker 3: Saturday nights, they like having the conversation. I mean, people
Speaker 3: open up to me like in a big way. I've
Speaker 3: never wanted to talk to an uber driver. I would
Speaker 3: rather leaving the f alone. Oh no, if you're if
Speaker 3: you want to be quiet, I'm quiet. But people will
Speaker 3: just just spill their guts to me, Like they'll just
Speaker 3: tell me everything that's going on their life. What's going
Speaker 3: on this weekend, what's going on tonight, what's going on
Speaker 3: tomorrow night, And you know, I just give them the
Speaker 3: best advice I can give.
Speaker 1: But that's the other thing that they talk about is
Speaker 1: that they.
Speaker 3: Don't they wouldn't have that person to talk to, which
Speaker 3: I would think you would like that part, Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: I like silence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I may work in radio, but I
Speaker 2: like silence in my personal life.
Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I don't need to have a conversation.
Speaker 2: I'm that guy who get in the cab and will
Speaker 2: say when I got in a cab or ride share,
Speaker 2: they'll confirm the address. That's all we need to talk
Speaker 2: about it. Or the driver will say, hey, do you
Speaker 2: want more air on? Do you want a type of
Speaker 2: music on the radio. After that, I'm in my own world.
Speaker 2: Don't even look at me, and I don't want them
Speaker 2: to take it personally. But that's not what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2: I'm not looking to have a conversation. Remember the HBO
Speaker 2: show I think was like Taxicab tax Cab Confession.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was so amazing to me.
Speaker 2: It's like and people just start to your point, just
Speaker 2: throwing up and vomiting all over you know, the cab driver.
Speaker 2: As far as what they were offering, it's like, shut up.
Speaker 3: It's really interesting because I know we gotta go to
Speaker 3: break But it was really interesting because sometimes they'll get
Speaker 3: in the car and they won't I'll, like you said,
Speaker 3: I'll check the address where they're going air fine, and
Speaker 3: then that's it, and then it's like silent for like
Speaker 3: five minutes.
Speaker 1: And if it's like a long drive, they'd be like.
Speaker 3: So I'm seeing this guy, and then it just goes
Speaker 3: on from there and so I'm like, wow, that really
Speaker 3: was that?
Speaker 1: Like that?
Speaker 2: See, I'll have someone ask me a question like, oh, so,
Speaker 2: what are you doing in Chicago?
Speaker 1: I won't want to say, none of you business? And
Speaker 1: then it.
Speaker 2: It's like, you don't, you don't need to know. I'm
Speaker 2: here to see my concubine. What difference does it make?
Speaker 2: Just mind your own business. You're you're driving me from
Speaker 2: here to there. It's like, so, what is it you do?
Speaker 2: You're in business? Pleasure?
Speaker 1: Pleasure? Yeah, I say a little.
Speaker 2: I'm always I'm always very generic, a little bit of both.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna see some friends in town for just a
Speaker 2: little while. One because I don't trust anyone.
Speaker 1: You don't.
Speaker 2: You don't need to know what I'm doing, why, or
Speaker 2: if I'm what industry are working?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need to know all that. Okay,
Speaker 1: you could be someone like Stefan.
Speaker 2: The next thing, you know, my head has been you know,
Speaker 2: I've been impaled and I'm just my head is rolling down.
Speaker 1: A gutter somewhere.
Speaker 2: Geez, just Later with mo Keller if I Am six
Speaker 2: forty Life Everywhere, the I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Moe Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app and YouTube. I'm looking at the numbers. More
Speaker 2: and more people are watching Get in the Party, Get
Speaker 2: into the Chat right now on YouTube. You can watch
Speaker 2: it on your phone. You can watch it on your laptop.
Speaker 2: You can watch it on your television. You can cast
Speaker 2: the screen from your laptop of your phone to your TV.
Speaker 2: It's interactive. We're talking about all the stories right now,
Speaker 2: and one other story that I know that the chat
Speaker 2: is going to be talking about. Well, let me let
Speaker 2: me back up. There are some things which are attractive
Speaker 2: in idea, not in reality. Do you remember when you
Speaker 2: were a kid and you thought about the idea, Would
Speaker 2: it be great if I could have ice cream all
Speaker 2: the time? Or I could have pizza for all the meals?
Speaker 2: You know, in a child's mind, those seem like good ideas,
Speaker 2: like who wants to eat vegetables? I don't want to
Speaker 2: eat spinach. I'd rather have pizza and pancakes. It's a
Speaker 2: long way of saying some things are better an idea
Speaker 2: than actual reality because in reality you realize, Okay, now
Speaker 2: I'm dealing with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes,
Speaker 2: most likely early mortality. When I talk about this next story.
Speaker 2: To me, it strikes me the exact same way.
Speaker 1: Here's what I mean.
Speaker 2: The Santa Monica City Council is considering a proposal to
Speaker 2: allow public drinking on the Third Street Promenade. Why because
Speaker 2: they want to revitalize the mall. It's outdoor mall for
Speaker 2: the most part, and it has not fully rebounded from
Speaker 2: the pandemic. The plan would allow visitors to buy drinks
Speaker 2: from local bars and restaurants and then walk around with
Speaker 2: them in a designated area between eight am and two am.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they mean eight pm, but it's
Speaker 2: printed here is eight am, but doesn't matter. It means
Speaker 2: till two am in the morning. That probably sounds like
Speaker 2: a good idea in theory, but in reality, I'm sure
Speaker 2: it's a horrible idea. How do I know. I've been
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas. Have you seen the public drunkenness in
Speaker 2: Las Vegas? The people who are drinking all night long
Speaker 2: and then they wander into the street and end up
Speaker 2: vomiting on a curb and they're just there for the
Speaker 2: rest of the evening. Don't tell me I'm the only
Speaker 2: one who's seen that. I can't be the only one
Speaker 2: who's seen that the idea is a whole lot better
Speaker 2: than the reality. Like we talked about Peanuts nightclub, and yes,
Speaker 2: I'm getting ready to do something and say something which
Speaker 2: is probably politically incorrect. The whole idea of going to
Speaker 2: a lesbian nightclub an idea was great.
Speaker 1: Super sexy. The reality not so much. It's okay, let
Speaker 1: me just use a different analogy.
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is the public idea of drinking walking
Speaker 2: around with your drink. It probably sounds like it's a
Speaker 2: great idea. I understand why they would want to do
Speaker 2: that for the sake of the businesses, but the unintended
Speaker 2: consequences of having people walking around with their drinks getting
Speaker 2: into fights, because let's be honest, it's alcohol.
Speaker 1: When people get stupid when they have alcohol.
Speaker 2: And if you're gonna let them walk around until two
Speaker 2: in the morning open container, they're probably going to be
Speaker 2: a number of issues and problems that you're also going
Speaker 2: to have to be willing to deal with. What You're
Speaker 2: going to be expensive, They're not going to be free,
Speaker 2: and going to cut into the idea of the profits
Speaker 2: for those businesses who would be quote unquote revitalized by
Speaker 2: allowing an open container policy. And I'm not someone who's
Speaker 2: anti alcohol, trust me. You know, I have Jack bonded.
Speaker 2: I have gentlemen Jack in my office at home. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the good stuff. That's good stuff. It's good stuff.
Speaker 1: You know. It's one of those things where it burns
Speaker 1: going down. Oh, but it feels so good, feels so good. Mark.
Speaker 1: What's your weapon of choice alcohol wise?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: It just depends. It depends on the season. I think
Speaker 3: we're still in a clear liquid season. It's a brown
Speaker 3: liquor season. Yeah sure, yeah, over the winter months.
Speaker 1: I see. I don't mess with clear liquor.
Speaker 3: You don't like vodka is like a delivery device for
Speaker 3: whatever other flavor you.
Speaker 1: I don't like vodka. I do not like gin. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about tequila? Oh? We don't speak anymore.
Speaker 2: What? Yeah, I try to avoid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like an old X that I can't stand.
Speaker 3: You are reminding me about the times that the Long
Speaker 3: Suffering One and I were in say the UK on
Speaker 3: the tube and people are just bleed and drunk there,
Speaker 3: just horrifically around, out of control times and they look
Speaker 3: like they're going to puke on you, and I recall
Speaker 3: the last time we were there. I actually said to
Speaker 3: her out loud so that the guys could hear us nearby.
Speaker 3: If this guy throws up on me, I'm knocking him unconscious.
Speaker 1: I just think of.
Speaker 2: Public drinking as a frat party which is going to
Speaker 2: get out of hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I hate to sound like somebody's overbearing dad here or
Speaker 3: agree with you, but it is kind of a problem
Speaker 3: when people and you know, also they have an earlier
Speaker 3: last call there, so they're binge drinking worse than we do.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the public drunkenness can be a thing. If
Speaker 3: you're a person who doesn't want to be vomited on
Speaker 3: or otherwise harassed.
Speaker 2: I would rather keep it to and I know we've
Speaker 2: got to go break, but I would say this, if
Speaker 2: you said you could walk around open container until eleven
Speaker 2: thirty or midnight or so, I'd be more inclined to
Speaker 2: get with it.
Speaker 3: I think a whole generation of people were influenced by
Speaker 3: the dude in The Big Lebowski walking around with white Russians. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: because that looks really appealing, But it turns out not
Speaker 3: to be like that in real life. Real life drunks
Speaker 3: aren't as mellow as the dude. No, I don't care
Speaker 3: if the dude abides not.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm just at that point, you know, get
Speaker 2: off my law and you know, take your container inside.
Speaker 1: We all become that sooner or later. It's later.
Speaker 2: With Mokel k if I, AIM six forty and YouTube,
Speaker 2: we're live everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's it. I'm done. That's it. Will help you figure
Speaker 1: it out. It's kind of what we do. K f
