Speaker 1: Mister Bokeller here k if I am six forty. We're
Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Have you ever had
Speaker 1: something seemingly minor just completely throw you off your game
Speaker 1: and wreck your concentration for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: My OCD can be easily impacted by the smallest of things,
Speaker 1: not that you care, but I'm gonna share anyway. Negatively impacted, Yes,
Speaker 1: negatively as opposed to positivity. I see, I've never, or
Speaker 1: I should say, I had not ever cracked my phone
Speaker 1: glass ever in the history of having phones Hill Saturday, No, God.
Speaker 2: Please no.
Speaker 1: And it has wrecked my life in the days since.
Speaker 2: And it's only Tuesday.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, maybe I'll just go ahead and
Speaker 1: get another phone, or I'll get another glass for the phone.
Speaker 1: And I don't have eight hours to just set aside
Speaker 1: to have the phone, you know, get it repaired, because
Speaker 1: that's just not an option in my life. And I
Speaker 1: had already given away my backup phone to one of
Speaker 1: my sons, so I don't have a backup phone.
Speaker 2: Normally I would have had a backup phone.
Speaker 1: I was just kept it moving, but I don't have
Speaker 1: a backup phone, so it's really messing with my life
Speaker 1: and I can't use my phone the way I want
Speaker 1: to use it, and it's driving me insane. And then
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, well, let me just go on
Speaker 1: tostore dot Google dot com and get me one of
Speaker 1: the new Pixel nine a's, which had just been announced
Speaker 1: in the nineteenth Oh so sorry, they're not available until March.
Speaker 1: I mean, excuse me April now, but they're not actually
Speaker 1: available for sale. I'm thinking, like, wait a minute, why
Speaker 1: don't you tell me about this phone? I can't even
Speaker 1: have it. I thought I had a solution to my problem,
Speaker 1: but instead I don't have a solution to my problem,
Speaker 1: and my OCD is absolutely killing me. Not that you care,
Speaker 1: but you should be aware. So if I should exhibit
Speaker 1: some really erratic behavior, that's why have did you ever?
Speaker 2: Like? I put it this way, I was that kid
Speaker 2: when I went to school.
Speaker 1: If I, for some reason had mismatched socks on, it
Speaker 1: would bother me the whole frickin' day. If I went
Speaker 1: to school and forgot to put on my belt, it
Speaker 1: would bother me the whole day. Little things will throw
Speaker 1: me off like that. I can't be the only one.
Speaker 1: I can't be.
Speaker 3: I have a glass cover, like protective case on my
Speaker 3: phone because I couldn't have that.
Speaker 1: But I've never it's never happened to me before, never
Speaker 1: until this past Saturday. But you've never had a cover. No, No,
Speaker 1: I need to feel the glass.
Speaker 2: You can still feel it.
Speaker 1: I don't want a phone condom, want.
Speaker 2: A raw dog it? Okay, No, you need protection.
Speaker 1: You know where your thumbs are.
Speaker 2: No serious, I don't like those phone covers.
Speaker 1: Fill mine. No, feel it, touch it. It's it's very smooth.
Speaker 1: Look it's very smooth. Look touch it. You can't even tell. Now.
Speaker 1: I've dropped that a couple of times, and I would
Speaker 1: like to It's still smooth. You can still fill all
Speaker 1: the buttons, all the knobs, all the the indentation. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's very smooth. And I've dropped there. There is like
Speaker 1: a little crack in this one because I've dropped it.
Speaker 1: I dropped it and then I stepped on it. So
Speaker 1: now I have to go and get my spare glass
Speaker 1: case cover. I was just a victim of circumstance. I
Speaker 1: was getting out of the car and I had it
Speaker 1: in my hand, and I was going to my hot
Speaker 1: Keto studio and I happened to drop it. I've dropped
Speaker 1: it maybe ten or twelve times, and this time it
Speaker 1: happened to drop right on its face on some jagged
Speaker 1: asphalt and you know, the rest, they say is history,
Speaker 1: and I've been out of sorts ever since. I just
Speaker 1: it's almost like you walk in front of the mirror
Speaker 1: and you see that ZiT in the front of your
Speaker 1: center of your forehead every single time, and you can't
Speaker 1: look away because that's all you can focus on. Well,
Speaker 1: all I can do is focus on this big ass
Speaker 1: crack on my phone. Not that you care, but you
Speaker 1: need to be made aware because I'm on one tonight.
Speaker 2: Things a little bit different. Oh, speaking of on one tonight, and.
Speaker 1: The next segment, we're going to talk about what we're
Speaker 1: going to do to save Mark Ronner.
Speaker 4: I saw that on the rundown and it filled me
Speaker 4: with dread because Tuala wouldn't tell me what it was about.
Speaker 1: We're going to have a special segment and we're going
Speaker 1: to save the life of Mark Ronner. We're going to
Speaker 1: intervene and this is very serious, very serious, thank you.
Speaker 1: We're going to keep him from getting killed. We're not
Speaker 1: going to tell you why or how, but there's going
Speaker 1: to be an intervention. Next segment, and it's all all
Speaker 1: about Mark Ronner.
Speaker 4: I'm not feeling so great. I think we got to
Speaker 4: call Heather back in. It's for the greater good. I
Speaker 4: promise you that that's the tease. Just get that phone
Speaker 4: fixed with you.
Speaker 1: And also, remember how we told you about how schools,
Speaker 1: especially in southern California, were implementing their own ways of
Speaker 1: making sure that kids don't use their phone, you know,
Speaker 1: the head the cell phone band. Some schools were collected
Speaker 1: to phone, some were putting them in these pouches, these
Speaker 1: magnetic pouches, And we said, you know, kids are gonna
Speaker 1: find a way around all this stuff. They are, they are,
Speaker 1: and sure enough they have. We'll tell you about that
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. And we have an
Speaker 1: update about the fire zones. There is an update to
Speaker 1: the danger zones as far as where you are and
Speaker 1: the likelihood of you having to deal with a fire
Speaker 1: in the next five to ten years. So we have
Speaker 1: that and so much more. Full show tonight, it's Later
Speaker 1: with Mo Kelly. I'm still upset about my phone. Pray
Speaker 1: for me. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app you're
Speaker 1: listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty. And this next story is specifically an
Speaker 1: intervention to protect and save the life of Mark Ronner,
Speaker 1: who has been known to give a runner or two
Speaker 1: or four to people who may cut him off, who
Speaker 1: may wrong him in some way on the highways of
Speaker 1: southern California.
Speaker 4: I see, I see where this is going now, and
Speaker 4: do you try to imagine my gratitude, please proceed.
Speaker 2: There was a woman who was arrested.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say this morning, excuse me, yesterday morning
Speaker 1: around eight fifteen, no, excuse me, arrested about five pm yesterday.
Speaker 1: And the incident happened about eight fifteen a few days ago,
Speaker 1: where a twenty four year old woman from San Bernardino
Speaker 1: County now in custody accused of attempted murder because of
Speaker 1: a road rage. In what happened is she was traveling
Speaker 1: westbound on the ten Freeway east of Riverside Avenue in
Speaker 1: the San Bernadino area. A motorist in a gray Nissan Rogue,
Speaker 1: now identified as Loma Linda resident Angeline Marie Gable, was
Speaker 1: reportedly angered over a lane change when she pulled alongside
Speaker 1: the victim. The driver of a black twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: Honda civic authorities say that Gable pulled out a glock
Speaker 1: handgun and fired several rounds at the Honda, striking it
Speaker 1: numerous times. Wow, that's just rude over a lane change mark.
Speaker 1: And here's something else which is very important. The Office
Speaker 1: of Criminal Investigations, Emergency Notification and Tactical Alert Center, which
Speaker 1: is in Sacramento, provided real time investigatory assistance and discovered
Speaker 1: a FLOCK safety camera had captured an image of the
Speaker 1: suspect vehicle, meaning they were able to track this call
Speaker 1: as it drove around the city and they later arrested
Speaker 1: the would be assailant later that day at around five pm,
Speaker 1: just from the FLOCK system camera.
Speaker 2: So there are two lessons here, Mark Ronner, Yes, yes, be.
Speaker 1: Careful giving out runners because someone may shoot you.
Speaker 4: And what is a runner again, Roner is when you
Speaker 4: flip them the burd So there's already a name for that.
Speaker 4: We don't need to give it my name.
Speaker 1: But when you're listening later with mo Kelly, it has
Speaker 1: the context of you and you driving, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: call her a runner for the sake of this conversation.
Speaker 4: I gave a guy in a big truck, a thorough
Speaker 4: ronnoring over the weekend. Who is one of those things
Speaker 4: where there's three lanes and I'm in the middle lane.
Speaker 4: He could see that there were cars parked in the
Speaker 4: right lane coming up, so he tried to like jag
Speaker 4: in front of me and cut me off and get
Speaker 4: into my lane instead of just slipping in behind me
Speaker 4: like a polite, normal human being. Right, he got the
Speaker 4: panoramic runner. And you may have been justified in doing it.
Speaker 4: But is it worth being shot at? I'd prefer not
Speaker 4: to be shot at. You perforrect about that.
Speaker 1: But you may lose control of the situation after you
Speaker 1: run or someone and they may try to, you know,
Speaker 1: pop a cap in your ass, and I don't want
Speaker 1: that to happen.
Speaker 4: No, And I appreciate that. I can feel the love
Speaker 4: emanating from you. I never get out of the car.
Speaker 4: It's just a polite, little raised finger. When polite, when
Speaker 4: somebody does something egregious, the finger is never as impolite
Speaker 4: as the behavior that inspired the finger.
Speaker 1: That that may be true, we can argue that point,
Speaker 1: but I would not say that a middle finger is polite.
Speaker 1: There are varying degrees of impoliteness. Well, I don't, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it polite. Well, I don't have the
Speaker 1: means to write them a letter and hand it to
Speaker 1: them like kind sir, are you aware that you did
Speaker 1: something obnoxious and dangerous just then just letting you know, thanks,
Speaker 1: have a nice day. No, the finger is shorthand for
Speaker 1: all of that. Can't you just throw up both your
Speaker 1: hands like saying, what the hell dude?
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of an earlier version of the finger.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like if somebody, like if somebody cuts in front
Speaker 4: of you and then slows down, that's so, what the
Speaker 4: hell dude?
Speaker 1: Okay, going back to the story, I'm quite sure the
Speaker 1: woman who cut off the would be gun woman probably
Speaker 1: was wrong as far as the rules of the road.
Speaker 1: I want to give the attempted murderer because she's tar
Speaker 1: arts with attempted murder. I'm going to give for the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt and say that this civic actually
Speaker 1: did cut her off.
Speaker 2: But is it worth it to risk your life? Is it?
Speaker 4: Well, you don't want to blame the victim first and foremost, Well,
Speaker 4: in what you're trying to do is blame me, And
Speaker 4: I'm always the victim.
Speaker 1: No, But what I'm saying, Okay, the person who got
Speaker 1: cut off in this story responded with a gun.
Speaker 2: So is that person the victim in this story? Well,
Speaker 2: I don't carry a gun.
Speaker 1: No, no, but you carry a runner. I'm saying everything
Speaker 1: a victim, everybody. My point is you you characterize yourself
Speaker 1: as a victim because of what was done to you.
Speaker 4: You mow twala foush. We're all carrying unloaded runners at
Speaker 4: all times. It's a weapon of peace. It's a non
Speaker 4: lethal weapon.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But see Mark, And the reason I no longer
Speaker 1: unleash fiery runners on the road is because of the wisdom,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, of my daughter who said to me, Daddy,
Speaker 1: you may want to issue that runner. Her daughter does
Speaker 1: not say that that issue.
Speaker 2: That runner in anger.
Speaker 1: But you don't know if the person receiving that runner
Speaker 1: is crazy, and crazy beats angry every time, Daddy, keep
Speaker 1: those runners holstered.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 4: I don't think your daughter would appreciate you putting false
Speaker 4: words into her mouth like that.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: She doesn't call the middle finger by the name of
Speaker 4: your coworker.
Speaker 1: I know this, But she has said that between mad
Speaker 1: and angry and someone who's angry is not thinking straight,
Speaker 1: and they're probably more committed to the escalation than you are.
Speaker 1: You probably are intending to runnor and move on with
Speaker 1: your day. Where that as that crazy person going back
Speaker 1: to the story, obviously had a gun available in the car,
Speaker 1: loaded glock, it didn't probably have a safety on it,
Speaker 1: and was ready and looking for a reason to use
Speaker 1: it on someone.
Speaker 4: Well, there's going to be crazy people any place that
Speaker 4: you go. And if somebody does something rude and you
Speaker 4: give them a gesture that indicates that they were being rude,
Speaker 4: and then they pull out a piece that's compounding the rudeness,
Speaker 4: you understand that, right, it doesn't matter if you're dead.
Speaker 2: Though you could be right and dead. I would prefer
Speaker 2: to be right and alive.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're making progress here, Yeah, So I would rather
Speaker 1: you err on the side of caution and not put
Speaker 1: yourself in a situation where the choice to continue to
Speaker 1: live has been taken away from you.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So for me and the people listening in their cars
Speaker 4: right now, who overwhelmingly agree with me, what would you
Speaker 4: a strophol what would she yes? What would you tell
Speaker 4: them to do in place of the runnor? I would say,
Speaker 4: if you can keep your hands at ten and twelve.
Speaker 4: Just you don't have to remove either hand for a panoramic,
Speaker 4: for a thrusting, a gyrating, or an out the window runner.
Speaker 4: What about a crankt into the open position one like
Speaker 4: in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 3: No, because that's not taking as fun and playful on
Speaker 3: the road. In a film, it's fine, but you know
Speaker 3: in real life that's almost more insightful. That's even more
Speaker 3: reason for me to come after you, because now you're
Speaker 3: clowning with your honors. But don't you think people know
Speaker 3: when they've done something terrible and rude and unsafe?
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm quite sure when this person pulled the gun
Speaker 1: and started dumping, they thought it was rude and unsafe.
Speaker 1: They didn't care, and that's my point. Well, they deserve
Speaker 1: an extra honoring for that, all right then, But you
Speaker 1: can't with a bullet in your head. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: protect you from you.
Speaker 2: Mark. I want you to live. Mark, you're my brother.
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 4: I didn't expect to cry coming into work today. I said,
Speaker 4: you're gonna make that happen.
Speaker 1: This is an intervention because there is someone listening right
Speaker 1: now who, like you, has no reservations about giving someone
Speaker 1: a runnor.
Speaker 4: Well, it is important to stand up to bullies and wrongdoers.
Speaker 1: You understand that moment, yes, And most bullies don't actually
Speaker 1: want to fight. That's why they'll shoot from another car.
Speaker 1: That's my point. A person who's going to shoot is
Speaker 1: not trying to pull over and go head up with you.
Speaker 1: You and I have been in scraps before, all right.
Speaker 1: A person's gonna shoot you is not trying to fight you.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe I should get one of them there, tesla's.
Speaker 4: Aren't they supposed to be bulletproof? This yer, those swasti cars.
Speaker 4: You can't trust those things. The panels fall off. You're
Speaker 4: not going to stop a bullet. Okay, there's no bulletproof cars.
Speaker 4: There probably are, but you don't drive one of them. No, No,
Speaker 4: not currently, nor could you probably be able to afford it. Well,
Speaker 4: if you want to get that personal, I don't know
Speaker 4: if any of.
Speaker 1: Us here is personal. That's the whole point. We're trying
Speaker 1: to keep you alive. And actually the serious point of
Speaker 1: this conversation is it's not worth escalating the situation. I
Speaker 1: know every single day someone makes me angry, and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to stare them down. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: do some aggressive maneuver and cut them off, and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to break check them if I happen to
Speaker 1: be in front of them.
Speaker 2: It's not worth it. Will I calm down eventually? Yes?
Speaker 1: Am I angry in the moment, absolutely, But this is
Speaker 1: a perfect example of wrong place, wrong time, because I
Speaker 1: know I'm angry, and going back to what Taualla's daughter
Speaker 1: said to him, I don't know if there's dumb and
Speaker 1: crazy any other car having nothing to do with my anger.
Speaker 2: Of course.
Speaker 4: I mean I follow the apocalypse now ruled never get
Speaker 4: out of the boat, never get out of your car
Speaker 4: for a road rage incident. And I just watched a
Speaker 4: clip yesterday of a woman, I think it was a
Speaker 4: woman getting out of her car and trying to approach
Speaker 4: the next car ahead who'd break checked her or something
Speaker 4: like that, and a cop stops cold on the other
Speaker 4: side of the road and gets out and stops her
Speaker 4: from doing it. And he's like, I got this, Okay,
Speaker 4: you get back in your car.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't get out of my car anymore, I know,
Speaker 1: And I say never should And I say any more
Speaker 1: because I have been on the other side of that
Speaker 1: logic you know those electronic reader boards where you can
Speaker 1: program it to have messages that scroll across the screen.
Speaker 2: I'd like to have one of those for my car.
Speaker 2: You can you can get those.
Speaker 4: You can put it on right on top of your car,
Speaker 4: and hopefully, like a Marquee, you can program it with
Speaker 4: a picture of a middle finger so you can keep
Speaker 4: your hands on toilet cark.
Speaker 1: You cannot take a level Runners or you know, analogue runners.
Speaker 1: They're they're the same. No, no science marches on. This is
Speaker 1: you need to embrace the future. Mo. We tried to try.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just got to let family go. I want
Speaker 1: to live for you, I want to live for both
Speaker 1: of them. I have some addicts in my family and
Speaker 1: we couldn't save them. I feel the same way. I'm
Speaker 1: giving the exact thing feally. It's like, sometimes you just
Speaker 1: got to let them go. So I'm a middle finger junkie.
Speaker 1: Is that it pretty much? And you know I I
Speaker 1: don't want you to encounter someone who has a glock
Speaker 1: on the ten freeway.
Speaker 4: Oh I need to fix right now. Look at this
Speaker 4: right here? Ah, that felt so good. You actually ronored
Speaker 4: me in the middle of a freaking show. Well, it
Speaker 4: was just to make a point, and now I feel
Speaker 4: bad about it. I hope we can move on and
Speaker 4: you can forgive me.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Look at the time when we come back, we go
Speaker 1: into the schools and talk about how students are circumnavigating
Speaker 1: the supposed cell phone band.
Speaker 2: Just like we told you.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: And middle school high school kids all around Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Unified School District are being told don't touch that phone.
Speaker 1: If you try to use it during school hours, you'll
Speaker 1: be cited. The phone will be taken away, confiscated, maybe
Speaker 1: your parents will be contacted as well.
Speaker 2: It's an unusual time.
Speaker 1: Schools are trying to figure out and navigate a way
Speaker 1: to allow students to have their phone with them on campus,
Speaker 1: but not use them while school is in session. And
Speaker 1: this new policy for LAUSD we've talked about for quite
Speaker 1: some time, and different schools have somewhat different approaches. Will
Speaker 1: take University High for example, they've turned to a local
Speaker 1: company called Yonder while in dr and Yonder is a
Speaker 1: maker of a lockable pouch commonly used in film premierees.
Speaker 1: If you've ever been to a worldwide premiere of a movie.
Speaker 1: They'll usually take your phone, they'll hold it up the front,
Speaker 1: they'll put it in this pouch. I know, I've had
Speaker 1: to do it any number of times. And then you
Speaker 1: it's almost like a coach check. You get a receipt
Speaker 1: and then you come back and get your phone at
Speaker 1: the end of the movie. It's much like that. And
Speaker 1: you have these pouches available now at schools which are
Speaker 1: going to do the same thing. They're stealed with a magnet,
Speaker 1: and it's the most popular choice of most of the
Speaker 1: schools trying to enforce this cell phone band. Here's the problem,
Speaker 1: and I said this before they even talked about possible
Speaker 1: ways to get students to not use their phones. I
Speaker 1: said it. Ta Wallace said it. We said, just like
Speaker 1: they were able to hack their own laptops, they would
Speaker 1: find a way around the pouch or any type of
Speaker 1: mechanism that you would have to keep them away from
Speaker 1: their phones. Why, because their kids, and they're smart and
Speaker 1: they're always looking for a way to get over. Students
Speaker 1: have done exactly what I said they were going to do.
Speaker 2: They're using decoy phones.
Speaker 1: I started the show today and this was for a reason,
Speaker 1: talking about how I cracked the screen on my phone.
Speaker 1: It normally wouldn't be a big deal, even though I've
Speaker 1: never done it before, because why I had a backup phone,
Speaker 1: and when I had a backup phone, I didn't really
Speaker 1: trip on anything that would happen to this phone, because
Speaker 1: all I would do is just use the backup phone.
Speaker 1: A lot of kids now, since they get new phones
Speaker 1: just about every year, have backup phones laying around that
Speaker 1: actually work, or at least you can turn on the power.
Speaker 1: And you know what is an administrator going to know?
Speaker 1: They're not going to know whether it's their true phone
Speaker 1: or a backup phone. And these kids, what are they doing, Twalda.
Speaker 1: They're giving the back of phone and putting that in
Speaker 1: the pouch and keeping their main phone and using that in.
Speaker 3: Class, or as my daughter has just informed me, they'll
Speaker 3: be still listening to their music. So they'll walk into
Speaker 3: class and they'll turn on their music listening device Spotify
Speaker 3: or whatever, and they'll hide their Apple earbud under their
Speaker 3: hair and just turn the phone. They'll still be listening
Speaker 3: jamming to their music.
Speaker 2: She said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people still sneak their phones. They're not turning. They'll
Speaker 1: turn in empty vouches and the light. This is a
Speaker 1: first hand account of how she would never break the rules,
Speaker 1: but she's aware of how other people are breaking the rules.
Speaker 2: She said, not need me, but this is how other
Speaker 2: people are getting around it.
Speaker 1: Look, this is not I'm not trying to equate this
Speaker 1: to criminal behavior when I say I think like a criminal,
Speaker 1: but I do think like someone who's always looking to circumnavigate, circumvent,
Speaker 1: kind of sidestep all of the rules. This is what
Speaker 1: kids are going to do, and I know it's the
Speaker 1: best foot forward by schools right now. I just think
Speaker 1: we were kidding ourselves if we didn't think that kids
Speaker 1: were going to be smarter than all the administrators trying
Speaker 1: to enforce this rule.
Speaker 3: Now, she did say they all are trying to crack
Speaker 3: down now, so I'm thinking right now at the entry
Speaker 3: point of this crackdown and the band and then putting
Speaker 3: in patches, yes, kids are finding a way around. But
Speaker 3: as the months go on and years go on, they
Speaker 3: will get to a point where this does work. I
Speaker 3: think right now it's almost backfiring, and that kids are
Speaker 3: spending more time trying to find ways around the system,
Speaker 3: which is more of a distraction. But eventually eventually this
Speaker 3: will work.
Speaker 2: We'll see what I think. Work is going to be
Speaker 2: a relative term.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, I don't need it to
Speaker 1: be fool proof. I just don't need to kid ourselves
Speaker 1: as far as how effective it's going to be. I
Speaker 1: was talking about UNI High and their rules are if
Speaker 1: you're caught as a student breaking the rules for the
Speaker 1: first time, you lose your phone for the rest of
Speaker 1: the day, Okay, big deal, five hours maybe for them
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. And if you do it a
Speaker 1: second time, if you found in violation a second time,
Speaker 1: your phone is confiscated and their parent or guardian is
Speaker 1: notified and required to retrieve it on a designated day,
Speaker 1: you tuala. As a parent, would you be more angry
Speaker 1: at your child for a second violation or the fact
Speaker 1: that you would not be able to get in touch
Speaker 1: with your daughter on her primary phone if need.
Speaker 3: Be, I would have to turn on my mic I
Speaker 3: would be upset at both. Actually, I would be upset
Speaker 3: that my daughter had violated the rules, but I would
Speaker 3: be even more upset if the school decided to take
Speaker 3: the phone and not return it. And I can go
Speaker 3: back to a point in time when my daughter just
Speaker 3: had left her phone in her locker and wasn't allowed
Speaker 3: to go back to get her phone after that's because
Speaker 3: she had to run to her next class and the
Speaker 3: locker room was closed. Whatever, And I went and I
Speaker 3: lost my mind because I'm like, I have been calling
Speaker 3: my daughter to pick up after school and she couldn't
Speaker 3: get a hold of her phone. So eventually she called
Speaker 3: me from her friend's phone, said, hey, they took my phone.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 3: I don't care what's happening with you and your school.
Speaker 3: My daughter is there with her phone for a reason.
Speaker 3: There is nothing that you should be doing where you
Speaker 3: should be taking her phone and preventing me from getting
Speaker 3: in contact with her, especially because after school the school
Speaker 3: is closed. So if I can't contact the school to
Speaker 3: contact her and I can't get her because you have
Speaker 3: taken her phone, we have a problem. And they did
Speaker 3: not like it when I came in. They did not
Speaker 3: like the response. Were you hostile? I was very hostile,
Speaker 3: Very very hostile words were used, which made which made
Speaker 3: it very very best words that the very best words
Speaker 3: it were verbal runners, and that did not happen again.
Speaker 1: There was no more taking of the phone. There was
Speaker 1: you know what's her in the future. What we will
Speaker 1: do is we will have a conversation with you. Uh
Speaker 1: and my mother and I said, you do.
Speaker 3: That, you have a conversation with us firsthand. Do not
Speaker 3: take it upon yourself to take the phone that we
Speaker 3: are using to get in contact with her.
Speaker 2: You have no idea what may be going on in
Speaker 2: our lives.
Speaker 1: This is something you know, always thinking about how to
Speaker 1: get around certain rules. I just, in my limited knowledge
Speaker 1: of technology, I know how I can message from my
Speaker 1: laptop right now if I didn't have my phone, I
Speaker 1: know how to make calls from my laptop. And I
Speaker 1: know that everyone under the age of seventeen knows this
Speaker 1: as well. I know that they've already figured out how
Speaker 1: to get around all this.
Speaker 2: And I know doesn't your daughter. Does she have her
Speaker 2: own laptop.
Speaker 1: That she's allowed to take the class yep, Yes, that
Speaker 1: she's supposed to use in class right.
Speaker 2: Yes, technology all over the US.
Speaker 3: I mean, if she is sending messages, if she's trying
Speaker 3: to communicate, if she was even looking at videos, there's
Speaker 3: all types of things that she could be doing that
Speaker 3: all these kids could be doing. And because most LAUSD
Speaker 3: schools have now adopted a iPad or some sort of
Speaker 3: technology component to being in school, that's why they've started
Speaker 3: getting rid of lockers and all that kind of thing,
Speaker 3: even though for some reason another kids backpacks are still
Speaker 3: hella heavy. It's a whole nother conversation. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: get that, Yeah that's ridiculous. But the notion of taking technology,
Speaker 3: especially because some of the programs that they have on
Speaker 3: these iPads are not as robust as programs that may
Speaker 3: be on the phones, which my daughter does use as
Speaker 3: well to do work. Because she's not always doing the
Speaker 3: work and turning it in on the iPads. Sometimes there
Speaker 3: are some programs she says, you know, it's easier for
Speaker 3: me to do it on my phone. I've watched her
Speaker 3: do it too, so she's not lying. I've watched her
Speaker 3: do it and easier for her to do it on
Speaker 3: her phone. I think that there does have to be
Speaker 3: some type of compromise because again I think right now
Speaker 3: we're at a point when just looking at these messages
Speaker 3: for my daughter, she says, people are finding all types
Speaker 3: of ways around it. Who said that kids are who
Speaker 3: said they would kids said that up. I mean, I
Speaker 3: think that was what at the very beginning, before the
Speaker 3: problem was even launched, we did. It was said here,
Speaker 3: and now it's happening. So what are we doing right now?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: I think it's well intentioned, but I know for a fact,
Speaker 1: I'll bet dollars to donuts. This is a lawsuit, major
Speaker 1: lawsuit waiting to happen.
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to blame the school.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's look a few steps down the road.
Speaker 1: When a parent legitimately needs to get in touch with
Speaker 1: their child and they are unable to, like, for example,
Speaker 1: after school hours, the phone has been confiscated unbeknownst to
Speaker 1: the parent, and you're assuming that both parents know. Maybe
Speaker 1: one parent is trying to get in touch with the
Speaker 1: child and does not do Long story short, we got
Speaker 1: to go to break. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen,
Speaker 1: and we told you here first because the way it's
Speaker 1: set up, it's not going to work, and kids are
Speaker 1: going to work their way around it, and there are
Speaker 1: other problems which have yet to be addressed.
Speaker 2: It's later, mo Kelly, when we come back.
Speaker 1: We when we talk about the Southern California fire danger
Speaker 1: zone update and also how Altadena residents are protesting the
Speaker 1: use of the golf course as a debris zone.
Speaker 2: That more in just a moment.
Speaker 5: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Very quickly, we have talked about the fires extensively. We
Speaker 1: talked about what we've not done in preparation for the
Speaker 1: next fire or what we should have done prior to
Speaker 1: these most recent spate of fires that we've been enduring,
Speaker 1: and not only in the Los Angeles area, but the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County area.
Speaker 2: Now listen to this.
Speaker 6: For the first time in fourteen years, CalFire is releasing
Speaker 6: new fire hazard maps. They show the probability of a
Speaker 6: wildfire occurring in the given area within the next thirty
Speaker 6: to fifty years. Inspectors analyze data on vegetation, terrain, fire history,
Speaker 6: and local weather. Take a look at this comparison. More
Speaker 6: than eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: It's radio I can't take a look at it. That's
Speaker 2: really unfair to ask.
Speaker 6: Terrain, fire history, and local weather. Take a look at
Speaker 6: this comparison. More than eight hundred thousand acres have been
Speaker 6: added to the high and very high zones that's the
Speaker 6: orange and red, and new this year, identified moderate danger
Speaker 6: that's the yellow seen here in Los Angeles, San Bernardino
Speaker 6: and Riverside County.
Speaker 7: Replacing a roof with flame resistant materials.
Speaker 6: Firefighters want people to understand the risk they're in, to
Speaker 6: plan and prepare.
Speaker 7: Multi pain windows with tempered glass, making sure that all
Speaker 7: of their vent openings on your home, the openings the
Speaker 7: screens are less than an eighth of an inch, and
Speaker 7: then removing all combustible sighting on your homes.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not the expert, but I do have a question.
Speaker 1: What jumps out at me. Let's say I do that
Speaker 1: all that's recommended for my home, but my home is
Speaker 1: the only home that does that, and the rest of
Speaker 1: my neighborhood is what we've already seen and not up
Speaker 1: to that particular. I don't want to say cold because
Speaker 1: it's not mandatory. These are suggestions and recommendations. Does that
Speaker 1: make any difference? I mean, if my house is a
Speaker 1: little better protected, but the rest of the neighborhood is
Speaker 1: not given what we saw two months ago, I don't
Speaker 1: know if that changes the calculus at all.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, what I need to hear in this
Speaker 3: report is that the city is paying for this retrofitting.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: If the city's not paying for this retrofitting and they
Speaker 3: are expecting homeowners to do this on their own, good
Speaker 3: luck with that those who have houses left standing. I
Speaker 3: don't know if many are going to be able to
Speaker 3: retrofit their houses, especially looking at so many of the
Speaker 3: houses in Altadena that have these wide grates or wide
Speaker 3: vents at the base of the roof when you get
Speaker 3: to the house, I've seen that it's like like our
Speaker 3: house as that, and then they have these wooden beams
Speaker 3: that can easily catch fire. I don't know if anyone
Speaker 3: has that type of money to redo that.
Speaker 1: Since we're also talking about Altadena and residents and what
Speaker 1: they feel they're going to need going forward, there is
Speaker 1: a brooding controversy about use of the golf course within
Speaker 1: Altadena as the temporary wildfire debris recycling center Twala. You
Speaker 1: are in and out of the area, are you hearing
Speaker 1: about that. Is it something which is a huge issue
Speaker 1: or do they understand this is just kind of part
Speaker 1: of the process.
Speaker 2: Yes and no.
Speaker 3: There there are those who want to maintain the beauty
Speaker 3: and the prestige of the Altadena wildfire or the Altadena
Speaker 3: golf course. And no, they do not want this debris
Speaker 3: and recycling centers set up there because there is no
Speaker 3: assurance that the golf course will be returned to the
Speaker 3: way that it's supposed to look. It's already suffered enough
Speaker 3: as it is with the wildfire, and now you want
Speaker 3: to come and use it as a recycling center without
Speaker 3: any real guarantees on what's going to happen after you're done.
Speaker 3: You know, are you going to replant the grass? Are
Speaker 3: you going to rebuild what is destroyed? Because just sitting
Speaker 3: the stuff there when there are other options that I
Speaker 3: know the other options are also not good because they're
Speaker 3: talking about just dumping stuff in the valley and the
Speaker 3: North Hills and West Hills there.
Speaker 2: They're like, they don't want it there either.
Speaker 1: Nimbi, Yeah, I know they don't want it in their backyard.
Speaker 1: And I understand the considerations with got to be made.
Speaker 1: You would like to preserve the golf course. And I'm
Speaker 1: saying this as an outsider, so I understand that my
Speaker 1: opinion doesn't count and I may not fully understand the
Speaker 1: gravity of it, but it may be functionally what's necessary
Speaker 1: in the short term to help get through this a
Speaker 1: little quicker as opposed to trying to move it fifteen
Speaker 1: miles away from there.
Speaker 3: Possibly possibly. I know that there are several areas within
Speaker 3: the valley where there are just absolute open fields. There
Speaker 3: are areas that some are saying even along the two
Speaker 3: ten and where you get to like Sun Valley, where
Speaker 3: there's just open space. If you're just if you just
Speaker 3: need a place to dump the stuff temporarily and recycle it,
Speaker 3: why not go to an area where there is open
Speaker 3: land for the moment instead of going to a place
Speaker 3: like that that is established and that you are going
Speaker 3: to have to do so much repair on.
Speaker 2: That is kind of the argument. It's like, why.
Speaker 3: There's got to be there's got to be some open
Speaker 3: spacing where you can do it, versus destroying the altad
Speaker 3: in a golf course, which is like can we not
Speaker 3: have something that stands that is not also destroyed or
Speaker 3: not also made uh to look bad in the in
Speaker 3: the in the interim.
Speaker 2: I see the trucks. I was out there the other day.
Speaker 2: I see the trucks. They're NonStop.
Speaker 3: They are just going up and down farokhs of debris
Speaker 3: don't stop at the golf course.
Speaker 2: Keep on going.
Speaker 3: Take it to an open space where you can dump
Speaker 3: it temporarily and recycle it can.
Speaker 1: If I AM six forty years later with Mo Kelly.
