Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty Now Kelly Show.
Speaker 2: It's social Media, Facebook Gets, Stick Talk.
Speaker 3: The Viral Viral Load, Viral Load, the Viral Load, Arlad
Speaker 3: with Tony.
Speaker 4: K if I AM six forty Live Everywhere on the
Speaker 4: iHeartRadio app. It's Tiffany Hobbs here with you. And this
Speaker 4: is Tonight's issue of the Viral Load. The first story
Speaker 4: kind of flew under my radar. I scan the Internet
Speaker 4: daily for stories to bring to you, stories that go
Speaker 4: viral over the different social media apps or YouTube or
Speaker 4: anywhere on the Internet, and this story escaped me. But
Speaker 4: I'm glad that I found it. It's a feel good story.
Speaker 4: It involves a party, and it involves the police, but
Speaker 4: it all coalesces in a wonderful moment. And what am
Speaker 4: I talking about. There's an eighty seven year old man
Speaker 4: named Doug Turner. He's from Illinois, and he decided that
Speaker 4: he wanted to throw a party, a rip roaring fun
Speaker 4: party for his neighbors. So what Doug Turner, eighty seven
Speaker 4: years old, did, is he went door to door in
Speaker 4: his neighborhood and he passed out handwritten invitations to this party.
Speaker 4: He put the invitations in mailboxes, he knocked on doors
Speaker 4: and personally handed these invitations to his neighbors. It was
Speaker 4: called the party was called a celebration of Winter, and
Speaker 4: it read February fifteenth, four pm until the Cops come,
Speaker 4: Food and drinks on offer, bring only a smile.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 4: One of his news found footage of Doug on her
Speaker 4: ring video. She saw the footage, she found it charming,
Speaker 4: She accepted the invitation, and, like is such of this
Speaker 4: current day and age, she uploaded the footage to her
Speaker 4: social media TikTok. To be exact, the footage is of
Speaker 4: Doug on her doorstep passing out this invitation, and of
Speaker 4: course it went viral millions of times over.
Speaker 2: And not only did it go viral, but.
Speaker 4: It really made this party public in a way that
Speaker 4: people started to respond.
Speaker 2: Now it got out a little out of hand.
Speaker 4: Doug's house couldn't accommodate the millions of people who saw
Speaker 4: the post. But what happened was a few dozen of
Speaker 4: his neighbors actually showed up on February fifteenth for this
Speaker 4: four pm until the Cops Come party, and they enjoyed
Speaker 4: the presence physically with Doug while that thousands of others,
Speaker 4: perhaps even hundreds of thousands of others, watched a viral
Speaker 4: stream of the party so that they could still participate.
Speaker 4: You had people like Rob Gronkowski, former football player.
Speaker 2: And now he's a pitchman.
Speaker 4: For insurance right something. You had different celebrities, big and small,
Speaker 4: people who tuned into this stream of the party on
Speaker 4: February fifteenth. The party was a success, so much so
Speaker 4: that people were saying, hey, what are you going to
Speaker 4: do next February fifteenth, And Doug said, he's pretty much
Speaker 4: all tuckered out.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to do this anymore. This is a lot.
Speaker 4: But we do have a clip of Doug appearing on
Speaker 4: a TV show in which he described what happened during
Speaker 4: the party a rager.
Speaker 3: How did it go Saturday night?
Speaker 6: It was a rager. Yeah, we started at four pm
Speaker 6: and most of the twenty four people invited to show
Speaker 6: it up and we just ate foe and drank a
Speaker 6: beer and they even suck into my whiskey stash and
Speaker 6: drank that and that was pretty well. They lasted until midnight.
Speaker 3: You're a Scotch guy, so it's okay. If they took
Speaker 3: the whiskey.
Speaker 4: I guess, huh yeah, So, as you heard Doug Turner say,
Speaker 4: it was an absolute rager full of whiskey and fun.
Speaker 4: And yes the cops were involved, but not in a
Speaker 4: way that crashed the party. No, there was one lone
Speaker 4: cop car positioned at the end of Doug Turner's block
Speaker 4: to make sure that no unwanted guests made it to
Speaker 4: his home. So that is Doug's winter party, February fifteenth,
Speaker 4: and I guess we have to stay tuned for what
Speaker 4: he might do next year. Our second story involves something
Speaker 4: a little less fun. It's a new day, which means
Speaker 4: a new TikTok challenge. And this challenge, to me, is
Speaker 4: one of the dumbest challenges I've ever heard. It's called
Speaker 4: airport theory. And what yeah, airport theory, And what this
Speaker 4: TikTok challenge encourages people to do is to get this
Speaker 4: show up fifteen minutes before your flight in understanding that
Speaker 4: a flight very well may be held for you.
Speaker 2: That's the challenge.
Speaker 4: Show up fifteen minutes early and you will be able
Speaker 4: to board your flight.
Speaker 3: Show up as in walk in.
Speaker 4: Walk in through the doors, into the security line. From
Speaker 4: door to boarding is a fifteen minute process is what
Speaker 4: this new TikTok challenge alleges. No way in hell, No
Speaker 4: way in hell. And here's the funny part about it.
Speaker 4: You have all these people taking to TikTok, trying the
Speaker 4: challenge out going to airports. You have some who are saying, yeah,
Speaker 4: it worked. You have others who are saying, this absolutely
Speaker 4: didn't work. And not only did it not work, but
Speaker 4: I lost my flight. My flight left without me. Ironically,
Speaker 4: there's a secondary trend of people googling what do you
Speaker 4: do when you miss your flight? So it's perfectly in
Speaker 4: tandem with the TikTok challenge of showing up fifteen minutes
Speaker 4: before again. Advice that people are dishing out on TikTok
Speaker 4: not advice that should be taken seriously. It can put
Speaker 4: you in a world of hurt. Mo Kelly, what is
Speaker 4: your recommendation? The recommendation says, and this is floating around
Speaker 4: virally as well. Of course, we've all been told get
Speaker 4: to a flight or an airport two point five to
Speaker 4: three hours before your flight. Do you abide by that suggestion?
Speaker 4: When it comes to domestic international as a whole other.
Speaker 7: Animal, domestic, if I'm leaving out of lax and I'm
Speaker 7: not checking a bag, so those things are important. I
Speaker 7: am still at the airport two hours in advance, two
Speaker 7: hours in a may not checking a bag. In other words,
Speaker 7: I have just my carry on. I can just go
Speaker 7: straight to the gate through security.
Speaker 4: What is the closest you've ever come to missing a
Speaker 4: flight because of getting to an airport late or getting
Speaker 4: held up in some way in security?
Speaker 2: Have you run through an airport? Do you have a story?
Speaker 7: I've had to run to get a connection, same at O'Hare.
Speaker 7: I remember that I have never been late to the
Speaker 7: airport for a flight in my life.
Speaker 4: People who have those stories of getting to the airport
Speaker 4: just before the door goes up on the plane give
Speaker 4: me a lot of anxiety because I am like you,
Speaker 4: Mo Kelly. I have abided by the rule of you
Speaker 4: get there at least two hours ahead of time. And
Speaker 4: things might bar that from happening. But a TikTok trend
Speaker 4: to encourage people in this day and age where flights
Speaker 4: are already up bit compromised within the court of public opinion,
Speaker 4: flying is not necessarily as comfortable as we may want
Speaker 4: it to be. But to encourage people to then get
Speaker 4: there late with the expectation that their game, that this
Speaker 4: trend will avail itself so that they can film, so
Speaker 4: that they can post.
Speaker 2: It's just it's asinine.
Speaker 4: It's asinine, it's dangerous, it's stupid.
Speaker 2: Stupid is probably the best word for it.
Speaker 3: Hey, you're going to lose out a lot of money.
Speaker 7: I mean, look, if you want to risk not getting
Speaker 7: to your destination, and depending on your ticket, what type
Speaker 7: of ticket, whether it's refundable or it's going to be
Speaker 7: a change fee, if you want to risk that, knock
Speaker 7: yourself out. I'm not going to be the one who's
Speaker 7: ever going to miss a flight because of my poor choice.
Speaker 2: Hey, Mark Ronner, you listening in there?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: You have you ever had to run through an airport?
Speaker 5: Because to run through airports, I've had to spend the
Speaker 5: night in airports after missed flights.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would do.
Speaker 5: Any thing to avoid going to an airport, especially lax.
Speaker 4: What's your rule of thumb? Are you doing for domestic fights?
Speaker 4: Two point five to three hours ahead of time? Are
Speaker 4: you cutting it close? You live on the edge?
Speaker 2: What do you do?
Speaker 5: Never ever cut it close, get there hours ahead of,
Speaker 5: spend the night there before if you have to you
Speaker 5: do not want to risk. And it's getting worse as
Speaker 5: time passes. If you haven't noticed.
Speaker 2: It is it is go ahead now.
Speaker 7: I had to spend a night in the airport because
Speaker 7: when I was in college, I got snowed in at
Speaker 7: Dulles and so you know, what was I gonna do?
Speaker 7: Dulles is not close to Georgetown University. It's good, I
Speaker 7: don't know, thirty thirty five miles and back then there
Speaker 7: was no ubers. You had to get a cab and
Speaker 7: after a certain time, good luck trying to get a cab.
Speaker 7: So I had to just sleep at the airport. And
Speaker 7: then when we were able to fly out, I flew
Speaker 7: out the next morning.
Speaker 5: And here's the thing about airports. They're not designed for
Speaker 5: people to sleep in them.
Speaker 7: No, no, And I can't sleep in one of those
Speaker 7: chairs with with with an arm, get me my back.
Speaker 3: I have to sleep on the floor at that point
Speaker 3: on my luggage.
Speaker 4: That's int and the idea that you're vulnerable to people
Speaker 4: as well walking into your space.
Speaker 2: It's not comfortable or conducive. You're going to say, Mark what.
Speaker 5: There are no accidents. It's intentional that they're uncomfortable like that.
Speaker 5: They don't want you sleep in there, not at all.
Speaker 5: Just they should design our homeless policy. I think it's
Speaker 5: the same people.
Speaker 4: The bus benches and the airport chairs are very similar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, genius, pure genius.
Speaker 4: On the other side of the break, because it deserves
Speaker 4: its own segment and it should not be rushed.
Speaker 2: Trust me, there's.
Speaker 4: A wonderful clip, a sound clip that you're going to hear.
Speaker 4: And let me tell you what the caption is now,
Speaker 4: large octopus squeezes itself into small hole. Yeah, and I'll
Speaker 4: tell you all about it and why it's going viral.
Speaker 2: On the other side of the break.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty No.
Speaker 2: It's tough for my room Love Tiffany Live on caf
Speaker 2: w O Killy.
Speaker 1: She'll talk about the.
Speaker 2: Toughness on social media Rald Tiffany.
Speaker 4: Hubbs if I Am six forty live everywhere on the
Speaker 4: iHeartRadio app. It's Later with mo Kelly And this is
Speaker 4: segment two of the Viral Load with Me Tiffany Hobbs
Speaker 4: in news you didn't know you needed large octopuses Octopi,
Speaker 4: Pie Octopi.
Speaker 3: It's it's National Pie Day.
Speaker 4: In a couple of days, National pie Day. More than
Speaker 4: one octopus is an octopi. It all goes together. Look
Speaker 4: at us in sync? He talked about Backstreet Boys earlier,
Speaker 4: and I'm an InSync fan. I had to get that
Speaker 4: in there. There you go, really, yes, Yes, that's a
Speaker 4: that's a subject for another. Don't make that face insane
Speaker 4: over Backstreet all day, I guess. As a quick little
Speaker 4: deviation from the topic. Back to the topic though in news,
Speaker 4: you didn't know you needed. Large octopi can squeeze themselves
Speaker 4: into very small holes. Why because they have no bones,
Speaker 4: They only have a hard beak careful which makes their soft,
Speaker 4: muscular bodies highly flexible. Why do you need this information,
Speaker 4: you might be asking, and honestly, you probably don't. You're
Speaker 4: unlikely to encounter an octopus in the wild or in
Speaker 4: any other capacity unless you go looking for one. But
Speaker 4: should you do that and you see it squeeze into
Speaker 4: a hole, and you will understand why. This next footage
Speaker 4: went viral, and this footage has been seen all over
Speaker 4: social media. It's a video of a large octopus, again
Speaker 4: squeezing and contorting itself into a teeny tiny hole that
Speaker 4: looks to be about the size of a small saucer plate. Now,
Speaker 4: while that description of a large octopus going into a
Speaker 4: hole might not give you any sort of excitement, the
Speaker 4: next sound very well, may this is what it sounds like.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, that's me, my bed, My bad, my Micael
Speaker 3: was on.
Speaker 2: I've been waiting all week to play that clip. I've
Speaker 2: been very excited.
Speaker 3: So who was holding the mic?
Speaker 7: That's what I want to know, who was holding the microphone?
Speaker 2: I want that job.
Speaker 4: I want to be a videographer who just follows octopi
Speaker 4: around and watches them contort themselves into small spaces, just
Speaker 4: so that I can recover that sort of sound. That
Speaker 4: is amazing and that is natural courtesy of that octopus.
Speaker 2: I'm proud of it.
Speaker 3: So what do we learn from that little sound demonstration.
Speaker 4: Well, we learned that again, octopus or octopi are very
Speaker 4: skilled and their ability to contort themselves and adapt to
Speaker 4: tight spaces actually makes them effective hunters and survivors. So
Speaker 4: while that sound was fun for us to listen to,
Speaker 4: it actually is very functional. This is the way in
Speaker 4: which an octopus survives. And that video, that footage, you
Speaker 4: can find all over social media because it is going
Speaker 4: viral and there are people like me who are extremely
Speaker 4: excited about that story.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Mo Kelly, but I loved it.
Speaker 3: I'm not excited.
Speaker 2: You should be.
Speaker 3: But it was a tangling. Yeah I heard it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I heard it. I heard it. I don't know if
Speaker 3: it was a videographer or fluffer, but I heard it.
Speaker 2: Big things, small spaces, Come on.
Speaker 3: Careful, OCTOPI next story.
Speaker 4: Next story that said, Okay, you might have heard of
Speaker 4: Wiley Coyote. I'm a Warner Brothers fan. Are you a
Speaker 4: Warner Brothers fan? Warner Brothers is right down the street
Speaker 4: from the studio. Well, there's a prospective Wiley Coyote movie,
Speaker 4: and that movie is called Coyote Versus Acme. Now, the
Speaker 4: movie has been yet to be released. It is shelved
Speaker 4: at this point. It was in pre production, it stalled
Speaker 4: for different reasons. Some of the stars associated with this
Speaker 4: movie include Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor, and
Speaker 4: Will Forte has actually spoken out about it. He is
Speaker 4: saying this movie needs to be released, that it's an
Speaker 4: abomination that their work has yet to be seen by
Speaker 4: the masses. But what Will Forte is saying is not
Speaker 4: what's going viral. What's going viral is that earlier this week,
Speaker 4: a dedicated fan dressed as Wiley coyotedy and protested outside
Speaker 4: of Warner Brothers Studios right down the street here from KFI.
Speaker 4: This person dressed completely as Wildly Coyote, and he held
Speaker 4: up a cute little sign that looks like it's straight
Speaker 4: out of the cartoon, and it said simply no, release me,
Speaker 4: release me. He's picketing. Wiley Coyote is a protester. Now
Speaker 4: he has to be careful because I hear those things
Speaker 4: are not welcome. You're Illgal might mess around and get
Speaker 4: himself deported. But it is all in conjunction with the
Speaker 4: press and the marketing for this yet to be released
Speaker 4: movie that is considered to be live action and animation.
Speaker 4: It's a hybrid of the two, and who knows when
Speaker 4: it will come out. It was supposed to come out
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three. We're now in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 4: but the materials there apparently, and Wildly Coyote, the protester
Speaker 4: is demanding that it be shown, and he has gone
Speaker 4: viral all over social media.
Speaker 7: We have someone who's connected to that movie who is
Speaker 7: the voice of Bugs Bunny and other characters. Eric Bowser,
Speaker 7: who was a guest on this show, and he'd been
Speaker 7: fighting for the past two years to your point to
Speaker 7: get this movie released, and it's it's never been clear
Speaker 7: to me why it has been released.
Speaker 3: Because it's done, the movie is complete, you know, release
Speaker 3: it to HBO, Max, yeah.
Speaker 2: Something.
Speaker 4: And one of the things that Will Forte, one of
Speaker 4: the stars, is saying is that it was possibly shelved
Speaker 4: due to budgeting back in twenty twenty three, some sort
Speaker 4: of restructuring there at Warner Brothers Discovery. But all of
Speaker 4: these people involved are saying, we need it to come out.
Speaker 2: Why it's done? Why are we holding onto it?
Speaker 7: Just like he said, yeah, there's something else And maybe
Speaker 7: Mark you know about this as well.
Speaker 3: Remember the whole Batwoman movie that they shoved as well.
Speaker 5: It was a write down and it really broke a
Speaker 5: lot of people's hearts because it's not like those studios
Speaker 5: never put out anything subpar.
Speaker 3: Just release it. What are you ashamed of at this point?
Speaker 7: I mean, if Madam Webb can come out, I know,
Speaker 7: different studio, but if a studio can release Madam Webb,
Speaker 7: oh yes, the bar is low, okay, and no one
Speaker 7: is going to judge you differently.
Speaker 3: I don't get it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's been a lot of good word about the
Speaker 5: Warner Brothers movie as well. Everybody who's seen it has
Speaker 5: high praise for it, so it's kind of baffling why
Speaker 5: they're keeping that under lock and key.
Speaker 4: Well, people might get out there with Wily Coyote and
Speaker 4: protest that this movie be released. If he continues to
Speaker 4: go viral, he's definitely amassing a fan base of his
Speaker 4: own as he stands on the corner with his cute
Speaker 4: little white sign before you go to break, Steph, can
Speaker 4: we play that octopus squeezing itself into a small hole
Speaker 4: one more time?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 3: I guess so so much. Any window there, squeeze yourself.
Speaker 2: I've been there, you get in there. Mark loves it.
Speaker 5: That's usually the sound something makes when it's coming out
Speaker 5: of the hall. Al I can think almost like Caddy
Speaker 5: shack the hole.
Speaker 2: That's tonight's spiral load.
