Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty Now Kelly Show.
Speaker 2: It's too social media, Facebook gets to x stick Talk,
Speaker 2: the Viraldney or.
Speaker 1: Viral Load, Viral Load, the viral.
Speaker 3: Load Lad with Timney, kf I AM six forty live
Speaker 3: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's Later with Mo Kelly
Speaker 3: and this is the return of the Viral Load with
Speaker 3: Yes Me Tiffany Hobbs and we have a wild card
Speaker 3: entry tonight. I usually have a schedule, but I was
Speaker 3: overlooking social media because that's my job here on Wednesdays
Speaker 3: to give you the top viral stories of the week.
Speaker 3: And there is another story that has shot to the
Speaker 3: of my list. And let me tell you a little
Speaker 3: bit about it. So, if you've ever gone to an
Speaker 3: aquarium or any place that has an aquarium attraction, Let's
Speaker 3: say a rest restaurant, long Beach aquarium, maybe something in
Speaker 3: San Diego, wherever you live. It could even be again,
Speaker 3: a restaurant that features an aquarium attraction, something where there's
Speaker 3: a live human person inside of the aquarium acting as
Speaker 3: a mermaid or some sort of character. Well, in this case,
Speaker 3: there's a mermaid. It's a Russian woman and this takes
Speaker 3: place in China. This is the newest viral story, I
Speaker 3: would say of the day. This woman is a mermaid
Speaker 3: and she's doing her things. She's swimming around. Children are looking.
Speaker 3: It's like an aquarium, a very normal setting until it's not.
Speaker 3: And what happens is, as this young woman is swimming
Speaker 3: with her mermaid tail and kind of doing all of
Speaker 3: her little mermaid tricks, a large sturgeon, which is a
Speaker 3: huge fit, goes atop of the woman while she's underwater
Speaker 3: and all these people are watching and attempts to successfully,
Speaker 3: let me not say, attempts to successfully places its entire
Speaker 3: mouth over the woman's head, completely engulfing her. The good
Speaker 3: thing is sturgeon don't have teeth, but they do have
Speaker 3: a very powerful sucking mechanism. That's how they bring in
Speaker 3: their prey. And he or it put its mouth over
Speaker 3: this woman. She is able to push herself out of
Speaker 3: the surgeon's mouth and she then swims away to I
Speaker 3: imagine what is safety. She swims kind of off camera
Speaker 3: while the children are standing there watching in horror. Did
Speaker 3: the scream uh, you know, mortified confused screams at first? Yeah,
Speaker 3: And she definitely left the scene and did not return.
Speaker 3: So that's the wild card for this week. So if
Speaker 3: we get back to our schedule, the first story I
Speaker 3: want to share with you comes from Georgia. Oh, this
Speaker 3: poor guy. You might have seen it floating around. If
Speaker 3: you are a person who likes value shopping, and many
Speaker 3: of us do, then you might have been lored to
Speaker 3: Timu or something like Ali Express, kind of these drop
Speaker 3: shipping sites, these big warehouse sites that are offshore. Ali
Speaker 3: Express is a very popular one, and like Timu and
Speaker 3: these other low cost providers, they they sell goods at
Speaker 3: a fraction.
Speaker 2: Of the price.
Speaker 3: Okay, So this guy, this really nice man named Sylvester
Speaker 3: Franklin of Savannah, Georgia, decides that he wants to buy
Speaker 3: a drill, a conventional drill, a power tool, and he
Speaker 3: goes on Ali Express. He picks out his favorite drill.
Speaker 3: It's yellow. He decides to purchase it. It's about twenty two
Speaker 3: dollars and fifty cents the pressure washer drill combination. He
Speaker 3: sends off his money and a few weeks later he
Speaker 3: gets a package in the mail. Sylvester Franklin goes and
Speaker 3: excitedly opens his package, but there's no drill inside. There
Speaker 3: are no actual physical tools or remnants of a drill.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: What Ali Express sent poor little Sevester Franklin of Savannah,
Speaker 3: Georgia was a print out, a printed out picture of
Speaker 3: the drill that he expected to purchase for twenty two
Speaker 3: dollars and forty seven cents, a printed out xerox copied
Speaker 3: picture of the drill that he expected to have in
Speaker 3: the physical form.
Speaker 2: Yes, did they forget to put it in there? No,
Speaker 2: this was deliberate. This was intentional.
Speaker 3: And this is one of the warnings and cautionary tales
Speaker 3: when you when you shop at these off shore sites
Speaker 3: because you do not fully know what you're going to
Speaker 3: be getting.
Speaker 4: See, at least with eBay, your purchases are guaranteed. Amazon,
Speaker 4: your purchases are guaranteed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not the offshore ones nearly as much. It is
Speaker 3: buyer beware by at your own risk. And Sylvester Franklin
Speaker 3: has yet to receive a refund for this. He says
Speaker 3: he's waiting very patiently, but he has gone viral because
Speaker 3: of this story. I actually put the picture up on
Speaker 3: my Instagram at tiff Hobbs on here on Instagram, and
Speaker 3: you can find a picture of Sylvester Franklin, and the
Speaker 3: picture speaks a thousand words. He's holding up the picture
Speaker 3: of the drill and the look on his face is priceless.
Speaker 4: I found the Sturgeon video. It's worse than you described.
Speaker 4: It's it's toughed off for goggles and everything.
Speaker 3: It's very powerful, very powerful sucking mechanism. That poor young
Speaker 3: lady and poor Sylvester Franklin. Another poor person, and I
Speaker 3: mean that as far as Misfort is concerned. Is this
Speaker 3: young lady. She's from Detroit and she was going to
Speaker 3: a party. To get home from the party. Get to
Speaker 3: the party, she used Lift, the ride sharing app, ride
Speaker 3: sharing service, and when she attempted to come home from
Speaker 3: the party.
Speaker 2: She booked this lift.
Speaker 3: The Lift driver pulls up in a small compact sedan
Speaker 3: of some sort and sees the young woman and pulls
Speaker 3: away from the young woman without letting her in as
Speaker 3: a passenger. The young woman is able to catch up
Speaker 3: to this driver. He is John Doe and I'll tell
Speaker 3: you why shortly, and as she catches up, she's able
Speaker 3: to ask the driver. They have an interaction and she goes,
Speaker 3: you know, what's up? Why are you leaving? Why'd you leave,
Speaker 3: and the driver proceeds to tell her that he does
Speaker 3: not think that she will fit in his car because
Speaker 3: she is a dreamily overweight. They go back and forth,
Speaker 3: there's a negotiation of sorts. She's trying to negotiate getting
Speaker 3: in the car. She's saying she's done this plenty of times.
Speaker 3: She's been in cars this size and smaller. What's the
Speaker 3: big deal? And the driver this John Doe, goes on
Speaker 3: to say that he is worried about his tires. All
Speaker 3: of this is caught on camera because the young woman
Speaker 3: is recording this interaction. This recording then was sent to
Speaker 3: a lawyer. She lawyered up quickly and the lawsuit has
Speaker 3: now been filed for discrimination based on weight and size.
Speaker 3: And John Doe is the uber driver, the lyft driver
Speaker 3: in this case.
Speaker 2: So there's a lawsuit.
Speaker 5: Did you see the video?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 5: Did she start filming before she opened the car door?
Speaker 5: Almost like she shut Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's hard to tell kind of the sequencing of events there,
Speaker 3: but he did say some very inflammatory things about her weight.
Speaker 2: Was the car was it like a you Go? Was
Speaker 2: there a smart cars like a little Honda Cord or something.
Speaker 4: I think it was a Mercedes c class and those
Speaker 4: are like the small size.
Speaker 2: Isn't a cord or a Corolla.
Speaker 5: I'm just curious if it was filming, if she was
Speaker 5: filming before he rolled up, that's a little sus to me.
Speaker 3: It could be he does tell her. You know, lady, hey,
Speaker 3: you can go on and book a different lift. In fact,
Speaker 3: get the quote lift x L. You don't want to
Speaker 3: say that to anything, but that's.
Speaker 2: The correct answer. It's a larger car.
Speaker 4: The same thing with Uber, Stephan, Isn't it true if
Speaker 4: you want a larger cars, the Uber.
Speaker 5: XL that's all I get her. The black SUV wants,
Speaker 5: that's all I have. You don't have to bring race
Speaker 5: into it, Okay, right?
Speaker 4: Or wait, Colley, I'm still mad at you from the
Speaker 4: opening of the show, just trying to stir it up.
Speaker 4: We got to go to a quick break, but when
Speaker 4: we come back, we will have the second portion of

Speaker 3: But do you share pictures of your stick? Mo Kelly
Speaker 3: huh mo no, no, I don't no, no, no, I don't no.
Speaker 3: That's for only fans have to pay to see that. Well,
Speaker 3: there's a movement and it is growing in popularity at
Speaker 3: an enormous rate.
Speaker 2: Don't you do it? Sef Good.
Speaker 3: Well, there's a movement and it is called stick Nation,
Speaker 3: and it's all about literal sticks, yes, pieces of trees
Speaker 3: or branches, whatever it might be. It's a bizarre movement.
Speaker 3: It's exploded all over social media to the tune of
Speaker 3: millions and millions of followers and shares. And these two
Speaker 3: friends here are their names, Boone Hog and Logan Juggler.
Speaker 3: They sound like they love sticks and outdoorsy stuff, right,
Speaker 3: boon Hog and Logan Juggler.
Speaker 2: Are they from Hazard County? They're from Utah, so close enough.
Speaker 3: They started a few years ago, a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: collecting sticks and posting pictures and video of uniquely shaped
Speaker 3: sticks and things that they found were interesting online. Well,
Speaker 3: they're popularity again grew and they garnered a massive following
Speaker 3: millions of people who now also engage with them by
Speaker 3: uploading videos and pictures of their favorite sticks in the
Speaker 3: shape of walking sticks, or anything that they feel the
Speaker 3: Internet might find interesting.
Speaker 4: I missed my calling.
Speaker 2: You've missed your calling.
Speaker 3: Because they are making major money from this, because again
Speaker 3: they have millions of followers, especially on TikTok or sticktalk
Speaker 3: as their account is known, twelve point five million likes
Speaker 3: since twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: What am I doing with my life?
Speaker 4: All they have to do is start my own stick account?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean that's your only fans account.
Speaker 2: O hio.
Speaker 4: Oh, so Stephan is now re engaged with the program.
Speaker 2: Got it? Got it?
Speaker 3: If you want to make some extra money, here is
Speaker 3: another way, another form of perhaps.
Speaker 2: Passive income question mark.
Speaker 3: As you would say, it's not that passive because you
Speaker 3: really have to dig deep for this source of income.
Speaker 2: Steph, can we roll that beautiful clip?
Speaker 6: No, thousands of people are now awaiting life saving organ transplants,
Speaker 6: but what if they could buy an organ, like example,
Speaker 6: a kidney. Right now, federal law actually prohibits people from
Speaker 6: selling their organs. By his Fox thirteen's Lloyd Sowers reports
Speaker 6: a man wants to sell his kidney, and he's suing
Speaker 6: for the right to.
Speaker 7: Be able to do it. For anybody who thinks that
Speaker 7: this is not already going on, they have no idea
Speaker 7: that there is an enormous black market happening. John Blochio
Speaker 7: says on the dark web, people all over the world
Speaker 7: are selling kidneys and he wants the right to sell
Speaker 7: his legally. Matt hagn is his attorney.
Speaker 8: If you just follow the case law on abortion, the
Speaker 8: law to me is pretty clear that you know it's
Speaker 8: my body, my choice. So John should have the personal
Speaker 8: freedom to do whatever he wants with his body.
Speaker 7: He can filed a federal lawsuit in Manhattan arguing the
Speaker 7: law Congress pasted in nineteen eighty four that makes selling
Speaker 7: organs against the law is unconstitutional and with more than
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand Americans on dialysis. He says many are
Speaker 7: awaiting a transplant that may never come.
Speaker 2: The kidney.
Speaker 3: When I looked up how much a kidney might cost
Speaker 3: in the United States, a kidney is going for on
Speaker 3: average four hundred and forty two thousand dollars around that part.
Speaker 3: So if you think about it, this is a lot
Speaker 3: of money that people are looking to make from selling
Speaker 3: their own organs. And I think evoking the idea of
Speaker 3: my body, my choice is an interesting angle to all
Speaker 3: of this, because yes, it is a person's body. It
Speaker 3: should be a person's choice as to what they're going
Speaker 3: to do with their body.
Speaker 2: But what does this then encourage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a complicate You get an issue if only
Speaker 4: because we can obviously donate organs, we can donate a kidney,
Speaker 4: but at the same time, not the recipient per se,
Speaker 4: but the whole process of donating a kidney generates money
Speaker 4: for the hospital, it generates money for the pharmaceutical company
Speaker 4: where you have to use those rejection drugs anti rejection
Speaker 4: drugs sort of rest your life. And Dwala can tell
Speaker 4: us better than anyone there's a lot of money changing
Speaker 4: hands and the people involved don't get any piece of it.
Speaker 3: And this is what that aims to mitigate, that people
Speaker 3: would become the direct beneficiaries of that transaction. John, the
Speaker 3: plaintiff here, the person with the lawsuit, is saying he
Speaker 3: wants all of that money. He wants to sell his kidney.
Speaker 3: So of course this has gone viral. It's being shared
Speaker 3: all over social media, and we'll find out what happens
Speaker 3: and what kind of precedents this sets if John successful
Speaker 3: at his lawsuit. We have time for one more really
Speaker 3: going on, all right, So another my body, my choice
Speaker 3: type story. There's a TikToker who was arrested for dancing
Speaker 3: provocatively over a disabled person's head in a video that
Speaker 3: has now gone viral. Of course, on TikTok so back
Speaker 3: last week, there's a young woman, she's nineteen. She works
Speaker 3: at a what would you call it, like a convalescent
Speaker 3: home type of place, and she is a like a
Speaker 3: care nurse or in some sort of capacity working to
Speaker 3: support the patients there. Well, instead of doing her job
Speaker 3: that day, she decided to film a TikTok video. And
Speaker 3: what she did is she kind of straddled one of
Speaker 3: the patients who.
Speaker 2: Was disabled is disabled.
Speaker 3: And gyrated all over this patient's head and you know,
Speaker 3: got her parts very close to this patient's head and
Speaker 3: taped it, uploaded it, and is very surprised and shocked
Speaker 3: to why she's in trouble, not just that the fact
Speaker 3: that she lost her job, but that she is also
Speaker 3: being charged with what is it, exploitation of a disabled person.
Speaker 3: That's a big state law that she violated.
Speaker 4: Nothing in this person's head said, you know, maybe not
Speaker 4: one thing to do it. It's another thing to record it,
Speaker 4: and it's another another another thing to record it and
Speaker 4: upload it and be proud of it.
Speaker 3: You're giving a big surprise. Way too much credit, way
Speaker 3: too much credit. That's the viral load for this week.
