Speaker 1: Cam I Am six is Friday on Lady with Mokelly
Speaker 1: and we're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Yes, put
Speaker 1: up your hands and say thank you, thank you, Jesus, Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: We're moving into the weekend, and it's been a very
Speaker 1: long week, I think for everyone, be it the weather,
Speaker 1: be at work, preparations for Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: There was a lot going on this week.
Speaker 1: And speaking of the weather, did you see the story
Speaker 1: which broke actually yesterday, we didn't get a chance to
Speaker 1: get to it about the tornado which damaged multiple mobile
Speaker 1: homes in Oxnard. Now we've had fires, we've had floods,
Speaker 1: we've had mud slides, and to think, I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: it's happened before, but to think now we also have
Speaker 1: to be on the lookout for tornadoes. I'm a city boy.
Speaker 1: I'm a city boy from Los Angeles. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what I would do if there were a P
Speaker 1: two or a P three tornado which would touch down
Speaker 1: in LA I have no idea what I would do.
Speaker 2: We don't have basements out here. And I know Mark,
Speaker 2: Ronald good evening.
Speaker 1: Mark, you noticed like living in the Midwest or even
Speaker 1: on the East coast.
Speaker 2: Everyone's got a basement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I had to cover a lot of tornadoes
Speaker 3: on my first newspaper job in the Great state of Indiana.
Speaker 3: You notice how tough it was for me to choke
Speaker 3: down the Great state before I said Indiana.
Speaker 2: I've never seen a tornado touchdown.
Speaker 1: I've seen a waterspout, but I've never seen a tornado
Speaker 1: actually touched down live in person.
Speaker 2: I probably would freak out.
Speaker 3: I can tell you that, no matter what you may
Speaker 3: have seen in movies, it's not recommended that you chase
Speaker 3: them in a truck.
Speaker 2: But they do. Yeah, don't do that.
Speaker 1: They do, and people die every single year from tornadoes.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I would do.
Speaker 1: I would I probably would freak out if I heard
Speaker 1: like the airhorn sound sound and you get like what
Speaker 1: maybe two minutes to get to shelter or something like that.
Speaker 2: They're not great if you live in a mobile home.
Speaker 1: No, because structurally speaking, they're not as solid. They're not
Speaker 1: going to give you as much protection as any other structure.
Speaker 2: They just come right apart. In one of those.
Speaker 1: Deals, when you were dealing with tornadoes and covering them,
Speaker 1: how did you approach it?
Speaker 2: Well, people died and lost their homes. It was serious.
Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes you know, people would get lucky and
Speaker 3: it would blow through and miss something heavily populated. But
Speaker 3: it's not a joke when its tornado comes through.
Speaker 2: Well, what happened here in Oxnar.
Speaker 1: Dozens of structures that the Ocean Air Mobile Home Estates
Speaker 1: were damaged, including car ports and mobile home roofs. Wins
Speaker 1: reached up to seventy five to ninety miles an hour yesterday.
Speaker 1: And this is the National Weather Service quote. A National
Speaker 1: Weather Service damaged Assessment team has confirmed a weak tornado
Speaker 1: occurred in Oxnard on Thursday, February thirteenth. The tornado tracked
Speaker 1: from the Country Club Mobile Estates to Ocean Air Mobile
Speaker 1: Estates in South Oxnard.
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1: If you're from the Midwest and you come out here,
Speaker 1: it's probably no big deal. It's like, ah, that's not
Speaker 1: even the p one, no big deal. And I know,
Speaker 1: I know when people come out here and they say,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, earthquakes, I don't know how you deal
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: If you've never been in one, you have no reference
Speaker 1: point for one. It could be a traumatic experience. I've
Speaker 1: had a lot of transplants lose their issu as they
Speaker 1: say the first time they experienced an earthquake.
Speaker 2: I've experienced.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many thousands, most of them I've
Speaker 1: slept through over the years.
Speaker 2: Is no big deal, but I admit it.
Speaker 1: I'm mad enough to admit I would freak out if
Speaker 1: I saw a tornado touchdown in front of me, especially
Speaker 1: here in California. I have no idea what I am
Speaker 1: supposed to do other than run away from.
Speaker 3: It, getting the tub, getting the basement avoided at all costs.
Speaker 1: My mother's family in Detroit, they had a basement, and
Speaker 1: I know that it was basically a full house under
Speaker 1: the house. It was a complete floor four I think
Speaker 1: it's like four bedrooms under the house. But in California,
Speaker 1: I know some people have basements, but it's really not customary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird. Where I grew up in Spokane, it
Speaker 3: was the same layout. It was like a whole nother
Speaker 3: floor of the basement was as big or bigger than
Speaker 3: the main floor of the house. But here, and I
Speaker 3: look this up, apparently most houses around here don't have basements.
Speaker 3: Because they were just slapping up houses as quickly as
Speaker 3: they possibly could. It was a speed of construction thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: If if I had to do it all over again,
Speaker 1: I would look to have a basement because in the
Speaker 1: way that it can be kind of a pain in
Speaker 1: the in the ace to have a second story. A
Speaker 1: basement is a great entertainment center. You can have a
Speaker 1: complete pantry down there. You can store a whole lot
Speaker 1: more in a basement than you can in a typical
Speaker 1: two story house.
Speaker 3: Oh, and you can tell people it puts the lotion
Speaker 3: on its skin. There's all sorts of advantages of having
Speaker 3: a basement.
Speaker 2: Coming up. I didn't take long, did it. No.
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to get there a little
Speaker 1: bit later in the show, given us Valentine's. But speaking
Speaker 1: of Valentine's, Tonight's show is for the lovers. Let's say
Speaker 1: you celebrate Valentine's or even if you're alone and you're
Speaker 1: missing someone, Tonight's show is for you. We're going to
Speaker 1: tell you about Anthonio via my Goosa's divorced.
Speaker 2: And get this, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I did not know that you could actually list your
Speaker 1: Netflix account as one of your assets and one of
Speaker 1: the things that you're asking for in a divorce and
Speaker 1: Anthonio Theresa asked for his Netflix account in his divorce
Speaker 1: and got it, and I'm thinking, like, dude, you could
Speaker 1: sign up for another account. Why is your Netflix account
Speaker 1: so damn special? I would give mine up in a
Speaker 1: Heartbeat's like, I'll just get another one. And there's nothing
Speaker 1: on there for me that what is it are they?
Speaker 1: Are they downloading googobs, the movies or something I don't know.
Speaker 1: And even then there's limits. You can't like download limitless
Speaker 1: episodes of whatever. That's weird, it's petty, it's weird, and
Speaker 1: it's not a flex.
Speaker 2: It's not a flex. But at least he got the vovo.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk.
Speaker 1: About that, and the Runa report is going to be
Speaker 1: more like a Runa report. Nerderom going around the room
Speaker 1: first will be the Runa Report. Mark Ronner will give
Speaker 1: us his review the warm up yeah of Captain America
Speaker 1: Brave New World, and then in the next segment, the
Speaker 1: rest of us will join in because we all went
Speaker 1: to see it last night and had varying experiences.
Speaker 3: My experience involved watching Foosh kill a whole bucket of
Speaker 3: popcorn on his own pet.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it was.
Speaker 3: Huge, And what else like an order of mac and
Speaker 3: Oh but the MC and cheese balls were really good.
Speaker 2: Those were great. I have all Yes.
Speaker 3: Well, my point is that's a superhuman amount of food
Speaker 3: to eat. I mean I was impressed with that. I
Speaker 3: couldn't do that. Now they're only like eight balls. Where
Speaker 3: do you want me to go with that?
Speaker 2: To break? Yeah? Please?
Speaker 1: This Later with Mo Kelly can buy AM six forty.
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Tonight's just for the lovers.
Speaker 1: Maybe you have a spouse, maybe you have a significant other,
Speaker 1: maybe you have a baby mama and a side piece.
Speaker 1: It's all about the lovers tonight. Don't laugh at that.
Speaker 1: I'm being serious. Okay, side pieces need love to I
Speaker 1: would never judge side pieces. Celebrate Valentine's Day. Two certain people,
Speaker 1: they're human beings. On Saturday, on February fifteenth, that's right, right,
Speaker 1: That's that's their day. In other words, if your significant other,
Speaker 1: for whatever reasons, is not answering the phone or is
Speaker 1: on a a supposed business trip and it's just unavailable
Speaker 1: on a day like this, then you're probably not the principal.
Speaker 1: Never mind, Ellie County Board of Supervisors. They're urging landlords
Speaker 1: to rent to displace wildfire victims. Ellie County Board of
Speaker 1: Supervisors Chair Katherine Barker is asking local property owners with
Speaker 1: available rental units to help house displace families, but understand
Speaker 1: that displaced renters will be responsible for covering their rental costs,
Speaker 1: similar to any other private market tenant. And going back
Speaker 1: to the whole private market tenant idea, Mark, what do
Speaker 1: you think I'm getting ready to say about the cost
Speaker 1: of living and rent here in southern California if we
Speaker 1: had done something different back in November.
Speaker 3: It's a total mystery. If only I had some context
Speaker 3: to place this in after four years of knowing you.
Speaker 1: Didn't you do a story not too long ago about
Speaker 1: price gouging here in southern.
Speaker 2: California only constantly.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if we have price gouging and a lack
Speaker 1: of rent control and you have a public figure, Kelli
Speaker 1: County Board of Supervisor's chair Katherine Barker saying, hey, tenants,
Speaker 1: if you have available rentals, please rent to displace people.
Speaker 1: But they know that they're subject still to the terms
Speaker 1: of the rent I'm guessing most likely, probably definitely, that
Speaker 1: they're going to be paying a higher rent than they
Speaker 1: would normally pay.
Speaker 3: From what I've been able to observe, they're doing right
Speaker 3: up to the level they can get away with until
Speaker 3: they're stopped. Yes, which is why we have these rules
Speaker 3: that people are trying to institute.
Speaker 2: But we have voted down.
Speaker 1: Rent control three times now in the past I don't know,
Speaker 1: seven eight years.
Speaker 3: Well, it kind of exists. This is one of the
Speaker 3: reasons rent control exists, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is. It was one of the many reasons.
Speaker 1: But it's glaringly obvious in moments just like these, because
Speaker 1: rent control provides protections for tenants. Now, you may not
Speaker 1: have thought that you you didn't plan to be a tenant,
Speaker 1: or you didn't plan to move in that untimely fashion
Speaker 1: because of the fires, But here you are in a
Speaker 1: situation and we know that housing is at a premium
Speaker 1: right now because of the fires and the thousands, literal
Speaker 1: thousands of people who have been displaced because of the fires, and.
Speaker 2: They still look.
Speaker 1: Some people have been given money by FEMA and other agencies,
Speaker 1: and that has helped pay for the hotel for a
Speaker 1: short amount of time. That's not a long term solution. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: people have lost their houses and they're going to need
Speaker 1: some form of long term housing, which will most likely
Speaker 1: be a rental situation. If you are wealthy enough to
Speaker 1: have your house burned down and you can immediately buy
Speaker 1: some other property, then God bless you. That's not most
Speaker 1: of us. That's almost none of us. Almost none of us,
Speaker 1: if I'm remembering right, it's still sixty percent of people
Speaker 1: who are living paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 2: And not only that. Let's say you do own a house.
Speaker 1: Not everyone can just buy another house without selling the
Speaker 1: house that they already.
Speaker 3: Have, the carbon that used to be a house. How
Speaker 3: did you know I was going there? Sorry, go ahead,
Speaker 3: you can't.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can sell it, but you probably won't
Speaker 1: get market value for what your house was before it
Speaker 1: burned down.
Speaker 2: But what do I know, twallers Sharp, what do you
Speaker 2: know about this?
Speaker 5: I know that right now the poachers and would be
Speaker 5: land bearons are running around the Palisades and Alta Dina
Speaker 5: trying their best to get properties just land, you know,
Speaker 5: covered in all the soot, ash and debris. They're trying
Speaker 5: to get it at less than market value. Pennies on
Speaker 5: the dollar because they know people are in a desperate state.
Speaker 5: To me, what I don't understand when I hear, you know,
Speaker 5: statements like this from be it the mayor, be it
Speaker 5: the governor, be at the LA County Board of Supervisors, whoever,
Speaker 5: when you say, hey, apartment owners and the like, please
Speaker 5: please rent some properties to these individuals who have been
Speaker 5: displaced by the wildfires, not forgetting the bad taste that
Speaker 5: was left in their mouths after they did not come
Speaker 5: through with what all of the COVID funds that were
Speaker 5: supposed to go to them, leaving a lot of property
Speaker 5: owners in the lurch. So now you're saying, hey, we
Speaker 5: know we did not come through the last time to
Speaker 5: ensure everything was okay, but this time, no, this time
Speaker 5: we really need you. They have some nerve even asking
Speaker 5: even though even though yes, as someone who would like
Speaker 5: a short term lease or something while we are just
Speaker 5: trying to get back to Alta Dina, Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 5: I would really really appreciate that. And oh wow, that
Speaker 5: would be great for me and my family to have
Speaker 5: a place past the month to month that they have
Speaker 5: us on with you know, FEMA and insurance. In this
Speaker 5: day and the other world. We're like, so next month,
Speaker 5: are we homeless or what?
Speaker 1: No, Let's assume let's assume that you lost your home,
Speaker 1: which you still have your job. Let's just assume that
Speaker 1: rent in southern California is astronomical and you probably need
Speaker 1: to rent a place which is still somewhat in close
Speaker 1: proximity to your job.
Speaker 2: You just can't.
Speaker 1: Oh, lost our house in Alta Dina, So why don't
Speaker 1: we just get a house in I don't know, Bakersfield.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, hey, you don't have that option.
Speaker 1: And maybe you lost a house and a vehicle in
Speaker 1: a car imagine that as well.
Speaker 2: But that aside.
Speaker 1: If you're going to get a rental and it's going
Speaker 1: to be above market price because of the extenuating circumstances,
Speaker 1: you're probably going to pay anywhere from three to four
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for a one or two bedroom.
Speaker 2: How did you know?
Speaker 5: Have you been out there in the market looking How
Speaker 5: did you know what they're charging for basic closets in
Speaker 5: the city of Angels and thereabouts?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 5: Damn the price gouging police that claim they're out there.
Speaker 5: Oh no, they're like, hey, hey, no, this is just
Speaker 5: what it is right now. Five thousand a month for
Speaker 5: this one bedroom, literally one one room, not a bedroom,
Speaker 5: just a room.
Speaker 2: Lose a house, can't afford a room.
Speaker 1: Let me say that again, lose a house three four bedrooms,
Speaker 1: can't afford a room. Can't sell the house because it's ashes.
Speaker 1: I guess you could sell the lot, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: be pennies on the dollar, teddies on the dollar. And
Speaker 1: you're supposed to find at least temporary housing in the meantime.
Speaker 1: And no disrespect to Supervisor Barger, but she's saying, landlords,
Speaker 1: of the goodness of your heart, not your pocketbook, make
Speaker 1: some overtures and make sure if you have available properties
Speaker 1: to rent, which is already ridiculous, if only because it
Speaker 1: was difficult enough to find a place to live. You know,
Speaker 1: housing was already scarce prior to the fires. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: you have thirty people trying to get one apartment because
Speaker 1: of the fires.
Speaker 2: It's going to go to the highest bidder. You know,
Speaker 2: it would be really, really cool.
Speaker 5: And this is just a wild idea because I don't
Speaker 5: know if you've been following the news mode, but there
Speaker 5: have been a lot of organizations that have raised hundreds
Speaker 5: of thousands upon millions and millions and millions of dollars
Speaker 5: in support of wildfire relief efforts. I believe the governor
Speaker 5: themselves is like, we are going to put every nickel
Speaker 5: and dime we can towards making these people whole.
Speaker 2: I remember these reports. It was relatively recently. Too relatively.
Speaker 5: I'm confused as to why Supervisor Barge or anyone else
Speaker 5: is saying, hey, landlords, right now, we have checks for
Speaker 5: you where we will put down the money for.
Speaker 2: The for these short term leases.
Speaker 5: Just subsidize subsidize it right now, because we know how
Speaker 5: long it's gonna take to rebuild this. A lot of
Speaker 5: these individuals who are displaced, they don't know they're being
Speaker 5: told six months to a year, two years could be sooner,
Speaker 5: could be later.
Speaker 2: They don't know.
Speaker 5: Why don't you just say, hey, either we are going
Speaker 5: to subsidize the leases for these individuals, or we are
Speaker 5: then going to make it mandatory that these organizations that
Speaker 5: have raised funds actually give the funds to these individuals,
Speaker 5: so it's not an extra burden on them for something
Speaker 5: that's really and truly not their fault.
Speaker 1: When I was growing up, there was an old saying
Speaker 1: and goes like this, that's too much like Right, it's
Speaker 1: Late with mo Kelly ca if I Am six forty
Speaker 1: one Live Everywhere the iHeartRadio app. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we have to tell you about the latest trend when
Speaker 1: it comes to thieves. And it's actually something that we've
Speaker 1: kind of hinted at and warned you about. But Burbank
Speaker 1: Police are warning against this particular crime which is going on,
Speaker 1: and we'll tell you about it in just a moment.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
Speaker 4: KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2: I see my job. This is just how I see
Speaker 2: my job.
Speaker 1: I see my job as very instrumental because I might
Speaker 1: be the difference in someone getting some and someone not
Speaker 1: getting some. So I'm going to do all that I
Speaker 1: can to make sure that everybody gets some tonight. All right,
Speaker 1: do what you want, do what you like. Just don't
Speaker 1: name it after me. That's all I ask. I don't
Speaker 1: need me payment, I don't need any credit, just don't
Speaker 1: name it after me. Bank jugging, according to the Burbank
Speaker 1: Police Department, is on the rise, and the Burbank Police
Speaker 1: Department describes bank jugging as the practice of criminals sitting
Speaker 1: in bank parking lots and watching customers come and go,
Speaker 1: targeting people carrying bank envelopes, money bags, or coin boxes,
Speaker 1: and then see thieves will select the customer they believe
Speaker 1: to be in possession of a large amount of currency
Speaker 1: and will follow that person to their next destination, at
Speaker 1: which either they'll break into the victim's car or directly
Speaker 1: try to confront and steal money from the person. And
Speaker 1: what if we always said on this show, what if
Speaker 1: we always said, first and foremost, be aware of your surroundings.
Speaker 1: There's someone always watching you and me. I try not
Speaker 1: to go to ATMs at all at all. If I
Speaker 1: need money, it might be at the grocery store and
Speaker 1: I'll get cash back on the purchase. Because when you
Speaker 1: go into the bank, they know you're trying to make
Speaker 1: a monetary transaction. And if you use it ATM outside
Speaker 1: the bank, they know that you're going to get money
Speaker 1: nine hundred and ninety nine times out of a thousand,
Speaker 1: not deposit money, and they're watching you, so they're going
Speaker 1: to I'm seeing you take money from the ATM. I
Speaker 1: try if I need to do anything banking wise, I
Speaker 1: go inside the bank. And most banks, now not all,
Speaker 1: but most banks will have an interior ATM. In fact,
Speaker 1: those are the ones that actually can give you more
Speaker 1: money if you know anything about that. If I should
Speaker 1: need cash and a pinch and I need to go
Speaker 1: to an ATM, I'm using the one inside. So when
Speaker 1: I come out, I'm not wholly anything. You're not seeing
Speaker 1: me pull out my wallet, so you know where my
Speaker 1: wallet is. You don't know what business I might have
Speaker 1: conducted in the bank. I'm just someone who's walking in
Speaker 1: and walking out the bank. So if you're sitting in
Speaker 1: the parking lot watching me, you're not going to know
Speaker 1: anything about what's going on with me. And here's the
Speaker 1: actual true story for me. I had to use an
Speaker 1: ATM at a bank. It was about a week ago,
Speaker 1: and this was the first time I used an ATM
Speaker 1: in at least eight nine months. There's really no need
Speaker 1: for me to use an ATM, because again, if I
Speaker 1: get money, it's going to be cash back at the
Speaker 1: grocery store. But I went inside the bank. It did
Speaker 1: not have an interior ATM. I said, what the hell's
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 2: But it was Torrents. It was broad daylight, so I
Speaker 2: didn't think.
Speaker 1: I was not as concerned about getting jacked at this
Speaker 1: point because I was actually pretty close to the Torrans Police.
Speaker 2: Department as well, so I wasn't worried about that.
Speaker 1: But I'm always aware of my surroundings, and if someone
Speaker 1: were watching me at the ATM and did see me
Speaker 1: get some cash, I knew where I was going next
Speaker 1: because I was already aware of bank jugging. To take
Speaker 1: it back to the story, if someone wanted to follow
Speaker 1: me for the forty dollars I pulled out the ATM,
Speaker 1: well they'd have to follow me all the way to KFI,
Speaker 1: because I went from Torrance to Burbank. That's a good
Speaker 1: thirty five miles and it took me a good two
Speaker 1: hours that day to get to work. So if you
Speaker 1: want to follow me that whole time because you think
Speaker 1: I have a lot of funds on me, well that
Speaker 1: was just going to be a waste of your time.
Speaker 1: And then I was going to pull into Kfi's garage
Speaker 1: with a security access, and then I was going to
Speaker 1: get into the building here, which is limited security access.
Speaker 1: Is going to make it very difficult for anyone who
Speaker 1: is just going to follow me and try to rob me.
Speaker 1: But these are always the things which are on my
Speaker 1: mind whenever I'm making any type of monetary transaction whenever,
Speaker 1: and I think that should be the rule of thumb.
Speaker 1: If you're going to the bank and you're going to
Speaker 1: withdraw money, don't you dare step outside the bank holding
Speaker 1: an envelope, because everybody knows what that is. Don't you
Speaker 1: dare actually carry in your hand some sort of zip
Speaker 1: up or coin purse or anything which suggests that you
Speaker 1: just made a monetary transaction and you took money out
Speaker 1: of your account, actual cash, these things. It should be
Speaker 1: common sense. But as they say, common sense ain't all
Speaker 1: that common. They call it bank jugging. But this has
Speaker 1: been around for I don't know ever where you're just
Speaker 1: waiting for someone to be caught slipping at an atm.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's new, and I say new because this is
Speaker 1: the Burbank Police Department. It may be new in and
Speaker 1: around Burbank in this particular community, and this particular community
Speaker 1: may not be accustomed to seeing it. But wherever I lived,
Speaker 1: it was always in the city, usually in the heart
Speaker 1: of the city, and it was always understood someone is
Speaker 1: watching you when you're at a bank or at an atm.
Speaker 1: Always always, And I don't know if you've ever done
Speaker 1: this too well, but if you ever had to use
Speaker 1: an ATM and let's say they're two side by side.
Speaker 1: You know, in some banks, I don't think, like a
Speaker 1: Bank of America, you made two, two or three ATMs
Speaker 1: Wells Fargo. I always in the past, because I haven't
Speaker 1: done it recently. I always announce my presence if there
Speaker 1: was somewhat already in ATM and I needed to use
Speaker 1: the ATM next to them or close by. It's like
Speaker 1: I'm on your right. I'm always announcing my presence. How
Speaker 1: you doing today, that's right? Something like that.
Speaker 2: Something.
Speaker 5: Remember this was ooh, I think we were on the
Speaker 5: air when this happened. Actually it was in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 5: around October twenty twenty three when that what would be
Speaker 5: called a jugging happened on the one ten Yes, we
Speaker 5: ended today. It was the intentional crash where they uh
Speaker 5: set this set the driver up and it's and for
Speaker 5: all appearances, when you look into that story, this is
Speaker 5: an individual who had left the bank and had for
Speaker 5: some reason other got into a car.
Speaker 2: Record when he pulled.
Speaker 5: Over, another van swooped up where three individuals hopped out
Speaker 5: that vehicle to rob him of the finances that he
Speaker 5: just took out.
Speaker 2: Of the bank.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I hear from a lot of people's like, mo,
Speaker 1: you should have more cash on you because for the
Speaker 1: most part, I'm like using a debit card, and they say, well,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't use a debit card's dangerous for me. I
Speaker 1: think cash is more dangerous because for me, whenever I'm
Speaker 1: walking somewhere and say, hey, do you have spare change?
Speaker 2: No, I do not. Can you know how about this
Speaker 2: candy bars? No?
Speaker 1: Nothing, And I don't have to engage anyone, And every
Speaker 1: once in a while someone will get smart as like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know you can spare a dollar.
Speaker 2: Brother, that's like, stay out of my wallet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have to justify anything, and so I
Speaker 1: don't ever want to put myself in a situation where
Speaker 1: I have to pull out my wallet or feel the
Speaker 1: need to explain anything. You're not going to see me
Speaker 1: for the most part, using any cash just not And
Speaker 1: that's the safety thing. And they say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: debit cards are more susceptible to theft. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: also know I can call my bank and get all
Speaker 1: that taken care of after the fact, So I'm not
Speaker 1: really worried about that. Now, Mark, if I encounter him
Speaker 1: on the street. I'm going to punch for and ask
Speaker 1: questions later. I know where you can afford. Just use
Speaker 1: the jaws of life and crack that perse ors open

Speaker 1: and have the lovers interlude. Think about Tawalla, especially Stephen Mark,
Speaker 1: when you were a little bit younger, we would make
Speaker 1: mixtapes and we'd have these ways of seducing, would be Valentines,
Speaker 1: encouraging them to be romantic with us. We're going to
Speaker 1: take a walk down memory lane and show you how
Speaker 1: the real players plays did it once upon a time,
Speaker 1: You mean, like I still do.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Six is Later with mo Kelly. That's just for the lovers.
Speaker 2: That was the lover's interlude.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've forgotten that spark that you had with your
Speaker 1: signific and other and that reminded you of when you
Speaker 1: were best as a couple.
Speaker 2: Here's a little secret true story.
Speaker 1: Many years ago, when I was before i'd met my wife,
Speaker 1: and even before I met the woman I was dating
Speaker 1: before my wife, when I was singing karaoke, I'd always
Speaker 1: seen that song, especially if there was someone in the
Speaker 1: audience that I thought I could impress and maybe well,
Speaker 1: karaoke was great for the conversation starter. If you could
Speaker 1: kill a tune like that, it was an instant icebreaker.
Speaker 1: You could sit down and she'd probably give a compent
Speaker 1: Oh you say so, Nysa, Oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: What's your name?
Speaker 2: And know what I'm saying. You're in, You're in, and
Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Karaoke singers got attention, got attention, and it got me thinking.
Speaker 1: When I heard the song when I was in the
Speaker 1: card the other day, It's like it just brought back
Speaker 1: a lot of great memories, reminiscing name of the song,
Speaker 1: Little River Band, of what men especially do I would
Speaker 1: do to increase the odds in my favor of closing
Speaker 1: the deal. Even if you were in a relationship and
Speaker 1: you maybe wanted to set up something special for the night.
Speaker 1: I remember I would use Back then, we had these
Speaker 1: things called cassette tapes, and we would put all of
Speaker 1: our favorite slow jams on these cassette tapes we call
Speaker 1: them mixtapes, and then you would start playing that mixtape,
Speaker 1: or at least I would at some time in the evening,
Speaker 1: and it was a way of getting her in the
Speaker 1: mood without you having to say anything, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they would just drop and you can figure
Speaker 1: out what they is referring to.
Speaker 2: So while what were your secrets of the trade? I
Speaker 2: had what.
Speaker 5: Became effectually known as the Spike Lee Film Festival, and
Speaker 5: by the time I got to I would always start
Speaker 5: with She's Gotta Have It, which is a very sexual movie,
Speaker 5: very much so. And I would go from She's Got
Speaker 5: to Have.
Speaker 1: It right to School Days, and it's very sensual, very sensual.
Speaker 5: And if in that moment of pure sensuality in school
Speaker 5: Days it wasn't already going down, well, then Mobeta Blues
Speaker 5: knocked them right off. No, I be literally knocked them
Speaker 5: off and said, you know how to how to start Washington?
Speaker 2: Ye, how to Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 5: Yes, I that was the affrogie. There was something about
Speaker 5: showing those three films in a row that just I
Speaker 5: didn't have to say much.
Speaker 2: We could talk about what was happening. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: It was unsaid, but said it would yeah, Stephan, did
Speaker 1: you have any tricks of the trade that you're willing
Speaker 1: to share?
Speaker 2: I was definitely not as smooth as that. That.
Speaker 1: That was like that takes the cake right there, Lee
Speaker 1: Film Festival. Sex begins in the mind, young man. Always
Speaker 1: remember that it begins in the mind. So no tricks
Speaker 1: of the trade for me. If you can seduce her mind,
Speaker 1: the body will follow.

Speaker 5: in sheep's clothing because you can come across as like
Speaker 5: all fun and happy.
Speaker 2: And oh look at me, I'm Foosh, I'm cool, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's like it's like I'm safe

Speaker 3: and I think it's best. I just listen right now.
Speaker 3: He has that loaded up like he was ready. He
Speaker 3: was ready, he was waiting. He asked, this is very educational,
Speaker 3: and I appreciate this information that you're imparting to those
Speaker 3: of us who were a little on the shy side.
Speaker 1: Actually it is pretty informational. I'm not gonna lie because
Speaker 1: I legit. For a second thought, he was talking about
Speaker 1: an actual film festival. And then when I when he
Speaker 1: started to explaining, like damn, that's smooth.
Speaker 2: No, No, the film festival was in his pants. That's well.
Speaker 1: Oh, but to be serious on this Valentine's Day, and
Speaker 1: I know couples, For some couples, it's very important. You
Speaker 1: want to make it very romantic, high expectations of one
Speaker 1: person or the other, even both people in the relationship,
Speaker 1: or the you know, the side piece interaction, whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. Music is always appropriate. Music can do a
Speaker 1: lot of the work. Let's say you don't have the
Speaker 1: gift of gab, and I'm going to be a little
Speaker 1: bit impolitic and a conceited for the moment.
Speaker 2: I've always had the gift of gab, always have that.
Speaker 1: But if you don't have that, let other people speak
Speaker 1: for you or sing for you. Pull out some Marvin Gaye,
Speaker 1: pull out some little river band, pull out something that
Speaker 1: you know that she likes. Just start playing it. Don't
Speaker 1: say anything, Just play the music. Let the music do
Speaker 1: the work for you, and then you'll close the deal
