Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and seemingly Instagram
Speaker 2: live with Nick Poliochini, who joins me in studio Hello.
Speaker 3: With a huge shark cuterie board.
Speaker 4: Yes, alcohol, but not what Yes and to Walla Sharp
Speaker 4: just came in as well. So as Moja said, you
Speaker 4: can join us on Instagram, Nick Polliochini, but it's not alcohol.
Speaker 4: Good to be here, I did, but you know it's radio,
Speaker 4: and so I'm doing some things a little bit different.
Speaker 4: So you're used to seeing me here on Fridays with
Speaker 4: what you know, what's going on in and around the
Speaker 4: South Line. I still got that for you, but we're
Speaker 4: gonna change it up a little bit because I want
Speaker 4: to give you a little bit more.
Speaker 3: We're gonna take things a little deeper than we usually do.
Speaker 4: And so if you're familiar with me here with Cafi
Speaker 4: and I not don't hide very many things. We don't
Speaker 4: hide things here on Later with mo Kelly. We are
Speaker 4: very transparent. So I've been sober since twenty seventeen and
Speaker 4: we've talked about a lot of things here on Later,
Speaker 4: and so this past weekend and when I was here
Speaker 4: giving you things to do for the holiday season and
Speaker 4: around the south Land, I checked out Unique World, which
Speaker 4: is the new iteration of Unique La in downtown LA,
Speaker 4: and I met an incredible couple Jeff and Elizabeth there
Speaker 4: who have an epic bottle shop over in mar Vista
Speaker 4: which is called dry Kitten. If you're joining us on
Speaker 4: Instagram Live, you can see a setup of the secutary
Speaker 4: that I brought from Whole Foods across the way, but
Speaker 4: also some really fun non alcoholic options for you. So
Speaker 4: I want to give you ideas of things you can
Speaker 4: do that are spirited without the spirits for the holiday season,
Speaker 4: for you to get out there and party, because the
Speaker 4: thing that caught my attention when I met them is
Speaker 4: that they said, have a great night and an even
Speaker 4: better morning, so that you're not going to have the hangover.
Speaker 4: And so I'm going to make you a cocktail and
Speaker 4: kind of talk you through this as i'm making it.
Speaker 4: But I know that your drink of choice, as I
Speaker 4: made you a beverage when we got together this weekend,
Speaker 4: mo is whiskey. So I have a fantastic thing for
Speaker 4: you to try, and it is going to be not
Speaker 4: that one, because that is fresh. So that is going
Speaker 4: to be more like a gin. I have smoky, which
Speaker 4: is going to emulate from optimist botanicals to still non
Speaker 4: alcoholic spirit. And so I'm gonna have you smell it
Speaker 4: and you can kind of give a description of what
Speaker 4: it smells like to those who cannot smell it. Smell
Speaker 4: a vision. I mean, I literally just take the lid
Speaker 4: off and you can smell it. How smoky it smells. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's a good description. Smells smoky.
Speaker 2: It is clear, So I'm not like seeing a caramel coloring.
Speaker 4: Correct, But it has every characteristic of it, and I'm
Speaker 4: gonna give you a little hit of it. It's very
Speaker 4: very smoky distaste. And so you're gonna I mean, it's
Speaker 4: it's not liquid smoketes on the stage. You might it
Speaker 4: might be a little Tom John's metal. I'm not gonna
Speaker 4: lie here, but I'm gonna I'm gonna make you but
Speaker 4: I want to.
Speaker 3: Make you a cocktail real quick of that.
Speaker 4: And all this is to say there's so much you
Speaker 4: can do around southern California anymore that isn't just about alcohol.
Speaker 4: You can do so much that is about spirited activities.
Speaker 4: That have to do with what are called well, I
Speaker 4: mean we all talked and you talked about it already
Speaker 4: earlier tonight about having THHC involved in beverages and having
Speaker 4: CBD involved. So there's you know, things that are made
Speaker 4: with hemp that don't have anything to do with things
Speaker 4: that will get you turned quote unquote, So that's something
Speaker 4: that you can have. But they also have things that
Speaker 4: are called adaptogens that have mushrooms involved, that are things
Speaker 4: that are really good for you that have nothing to
Speaker 4: do with Yes, that are realms. Right, well, we can
Speaker 4: do psilocybin. That's that's a whole other thing. And that
Speaker 4: is for between sent and yes it's okay, and that's
Speaker 4: for you know, after ten and before six am when
Speaker 4: you're doing the radio things. So okay, anyway, let me
Speaker 4: make you a cocktail right now. But this is something
Speaker 4: that's really different and special. Also, I've got some different
Speaker 4: palomas and things for you to try out for you know,
Speaker 4: things that were really unique and special for you to try.
Speaker 3: What's pomona poloma.
Speaker 5: This is amazing too because this entire setup that you
Speaker 5: have here, all of this is non alcohol right hand.
Speaker 4: That back to me, if so I can make you
Speaker 4: a cock. So we can really take this to the head.
Speaker 4: You can definitely take this to the head. And because
Speaker 4: we're on the radio, so I'm gonna take take a
Speaker 4: quick on Instagram live Nick Poley, Okay, and take a
Speaker 4: hit of that real just a gentle hit so you can.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a real strong and I'm gonna give
Speaker 4: you a mixer because it's gonna be real intense strong.
Speaker 3: It's real strong.
Speaker 4: So now let me give you something to mix it
Speaker 4: with and it'll give you a whole different Like that's
Speaker 4: real strong, real strong. It's not something you're gonna sit
Speaker 4: there now. You can sip on it if you want it.
Speaker 5: But does it give you that that flavor, that feeling
Speaker 5: that it will And I would want to mix with
Speaker 5: something which I'm gonna give.
Speaker 3: You ginger ginger beer.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna you I'm gonna make you super I'm gonna
Speaker 4: give you a little twist of lime here. I know
Speaker 4: I'm making a full bok til thing. Now when we
Speaker 4: swirl it around and for twala, I'm gonna make you.
Speaker 3: Oh no, see that's good.
Speaker 4: It's good right in those proportions, In those proportions, it's
Speaker 4: really good.
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't drink it neat or straight up.
Speaker 4: No, of course not. It's very very strong that way.
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna do a margarita for you. So this
Speaker 4: is a chili margarita. Now, a lot of people love
Speaker 4: the white claw movement. Super nice, super easy. This is
Speaker 4: a can beverage from aplos chili margarita, non alcoholic, infused
Speaker 4: with adaptagen. So this is gonna be definitely down those
Speaker 4: like herbaceous kind of that whole idea. So it's gonna
Speaker 4: be that. But this is really nice just by itself.
Speaker 4: This is going to give you that nice vibe for.
Speaker 3: The spring. I mean, if you like Margarita's period, I mean,
Speaker 3: I look, I've I've looked. I was never picky. I
Speaker 3: feel you. And what's the third verdict on this one
Speaker 3: for Margarita? Surprising?
Speaker 5: It's surprising. It reminds me of it reminds me of
Speaker 5: something else. Do you like Margarita's tequila? Okay, let me
Speaker 5: get it gives me a different vibe, not necessarily Margarita.
Speaker 3: But this is damn good. It's very it's gonna be
Speaker 3: that nice, very good. How do you like it? I
Speaker 3: like it?
Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't call it like a whiskey taste. No,
Speaker 2: I would like it just for what it was.
Speaker 3: But that's gonna be. It's gonna be a nice thing.
Speaker 4: And the thing is for me, I love having something
Speaker 4: that's different. But you don't want to perry a You
Speaker 4: don't want something. You want something that's gonna be nice
Speaker 4: and fun to celebrate it with. Now, don't get me
Speaker 4: wrong as opposed to you. I maybe you're may or
Speaker 4: may not be California sober. And if you know, you know,
Speaker 4: oh this is good. That's good, right, that's good. It's
Speaker 4: a really nice thing. I've got all sorts of things
Speaker 4: the uh, like an Amaro sprits would be for the uh,
Speaker 4: the Cali sprits here that I've got. I've got all
Speaker 4: sorts of good things for you to try here. But
Speaker 4: all of these are available for you plus and what
Speaker 4: twila if you're tuning in on Instagram Live and checking
Speaker 4: us out at Nick Polio, Okay, the.
Speaker 3: Gentlemen are cheersing you right now.
Speaker 4: But you can also go to your supermarket because a
Speaker 4: lot of times they have it, So check out dry
Speaker 4: Kit online. You can get all the details in Nick
Speaker 4: Pauli o'keanne or this week and Nick on Instagram at
Speaker 4: the Lincoln Bio that has all the details for you.
Speaker 4: But you can also go to your local neighborhood supermarket
Speaker 4: because I went to Whole Foods which is right across
Speaker 4: the street from the studio here, and they have Bitterers
Speaker 4: and soda which is the Helle brand that is right
Speaker 4: in front of Tuala and they have two options available
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 3: So that's where I picked up Shakrudery.
Speaker 4: Here a shout out to Mary who was in the
Speaker 4: cheese section at Whole Foods who was incredibly helpful.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so that's where.
Speaker 5: Now is there a combination here that could do like
Speaker 5: a whiskey sour or a.
Speaker 4: There is not a studio, but yes, no, but you
Speaker 4: you can so go go check out Elizabeth. Go hit
Speaker 4: up Elizabeth and Jeff over at dry Kit. You can
Speaker 4: find them online. And the other thing too is they
Speaker 4: have a gifting catalog. If you're looking for that last
Speaker 4: minute corporate gift and you may have somebody in your
Speaker 4: life who is sober and you're looking for something that's
Speaker 4: fun and festive, that's a great opportunity for you as well.
Speaker 4: They have an online store so this is something that
Speaker 4: is not just them. So definitely check them out because
Speaker 4: I love them and their small business and we love
Speaker 4: supporting small businesses. Here on later with Mo Kelly and
Speaker 4: on KFI. But also they're not really and I think
Speaker 4: that's the thing too, because it was when it first
Speaker 4: came out something that may not have been mostly approachable.
Speaker 4: Now it is definitely something that is approachable. And so
Speaker 4: this is something and the thing that they focus on.
Speaker 4: If you're gonna spend the money and it's not octane,
Speaker 4: meaning that it is not alcoholic, they want it to
Speaker 4: taste good.
Speaker 3: They want you to enjoy it. Yesteh, we gotta go break.
Speaker 3: I get it. What is the sugar content? What are
Speaker 3: we talking about? Because we're talking.
Speaker 4: Low calorie, low sugar, We're talking things that are not
Speaker 4: gonna affect you. So it already is going to while
Speaker 4: it is not high octane anyway, it is already going
Speaker 4: to not affect you in other ways. So if you're
Speaker 4: looking to watch your waistline, your sugar content, your carb content,
Speaker 4: it's already gonna help you out there.
Speaker 3: Nick Pouliochinni joins us in studio.
Speaker 2: It's not this weekend, but this week with Nick as
Speaker 2: he tells us what's going on.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2: You are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we're
Speaker 2: also instagram live at Nick Pollochini on Instagram. And Nick
Speaker 2: has not only non alcoholic beverages that he's sharing with us,
Speaker 2: but a full sharcuterie board. He's probably going to bring
Speaker 2: in his vision board. He's going to have all sorts
Speaker 2: of so many things. What else you got for us?
Speaker 3: Nick?
Speaker 4: Okay, So the thing that I want to talk about
Speaker 4: not to take us down because we're having an amazing
Speaker 4: time and everybody has had such good things. And again,
Speaker 4: huge thank you to dry Kit and Elizabeth and Jeff
Speaker 4: over at dry Kit in mar Vista and at that
Speaker 4: whole thing.
Speaker 3: So this is delicious, and thank you again. Nick poulio
Speaker 3: O'Keane on Instagram.
Speaker 4: If you want to check out all the fun and
Speaker 4: excitement and the link in bio at Nick POLIO'KEANEA in
Speaker 4: this week on Nick with Nick. But we're in the
Speaker 4: middle of a time here that's really challenging for a
Speaker 4: lot of people. And I know that we have KFI
Speaker 4: to turn too. You have later with Mom Kelly, you
Speaker 4: have all the shows here. But it's a really hard
Speaker 4: time for a lot of folks, and so we really
Speaker 4: want to try to focus on places for you to
Speaker 4: be able to donate your time and get you out
Speaker 4: and active because and then I'm going to give you
Speaker 4: this because it sounds a little silly, but it's very
Speaker 4: important because you have what is called seasonal effective disorder
Speaker 4: or SAD. And I know that people laugh, but this
Speaker 4: is what has always been that time of the year
Speaker 4: when it is four thirty in the afternoon and that
Speaker 4: is when the you know, it's such the sun goes down,
Speaker 4: so right, so seasonal effective disorder is a type of
Speaker 4: depression that occurs during this time of year. So we
Speaker 4: want you to have an opportunity to be able to
Speaker 4: reach out if you've got issues, if there's something going down,
Speaker 4: but also volunteer time.
Speaker 3: So I think that's what it is.
Speaker 4: So if you need an easy way to reach out
Speaker 4: and find ways to you know, find somebody, it's as
Speaker 4: easy as a text message. So if you're looking for
Speaker 4: a place to reach out to, you can always text
Speaker 4: home homy to seven four one, seven four one, which
Speaker 4: is a crisis text line, and that's super easy and
Speaker 4: keep it real, chill and mellow in private. But if
Speaker 4: you're looking for a place to donate your time, more
Speaker 4: so to get you out and about and active during
Speaker 4: this time of year and donate your time. The ling
Speaker 4: Animal Services has opportunities for you to get out and about.
Speaker 4: If you tune into wake Up Call here with Amy King,
Speaker 4: you regularly hear her talking about Pasadena Human Humane Society.
Speaker 4: That's an opportunity for you to get out and volunteer
Speaker 4: your time and really donate to yourself.
Speaker 3: Also, uh, the Los Angeles Mission, which is a skid row.
Speaker 3: They always need help.
Speaker 4: And it's funny because you think, well, I don't necessarily
Speaker 4: want to go to skid row. I don't want to
Speaker 4: go to downtown LA. That is not my shtick. There's
Speaker 4: places you can call and this is the thing. I
Speaker 4: work with Project angel Food here in Los Angeles and
Speaker 4: for a good number of years I literally call shut ins.
Speaker 3: That's what I do.
Speaker 4: And I spent about fifteen to twenty minutes of my
Speaker 4: time a couple of times a month and just call
Speaker 4: and check in on people.
Speaker 3: That's it. It's super simple.
Speaker 4: Did it long before the pandemic, and it was an
Speaker 4: opportunity for me to just like check in and see
Speaker 4: how people were doing.
Speaker 3: And that's a huge.
Speaker 2: Part of it. Yeah, but where did you start? How
Speaker 2: did you know where to start? That's a great question.
Speaker 2: Mo I started googling.
Speaker 4: As silly as that sounds, I mean, I literally went
Speaker 4: to the Internet and went to just started asking around.
Speaker 4: I also work with both the Gay and Lesbian Center
Speaker 4: and Long Beach and here in Los Angeles. That's a
Speaker 4: big part of it. Also, many many years ago, worked
Speaker 4: with the Catholic Church where I grew up, and worked
Speaker 4: with the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, and worked with
Speaker 4: the Knights of Columbus with my dad, and so a
Speaker 4: lot of different organizations that a lot of listeners here
Speaker 4: with KFI are probably very familiar with ask And I
Speaker 4: think that's the thing. It's always challengingk for help for yourself.
Speaker 4: And that's what I've learned through the years is by
Speaker 4: asking to help others, I have oftentimes helped myself, right,
Speaker 4: And I think that's the thing that we don't think about,
Speaker 4: is we get a lot of our own help by
Speaker 4: asking to help others. And I think that's the easiest thing.
Speaker 2: That's what I love about radio, if only because we
Speaker 2: always talk about this, the intimacy of radio, and you
Speaker 2: get to know more about people through radio than you
Speaker 2: would any other medium. Nick, you've been very transparent, Twala,
Speaker 2: you've been very transparent.
Speaker 3: Mark Ronner not so much. But for the most part,
Speaker 3: we try to be very transparent that we are.
Speaker 2: Fallible and sometimes frail individuals and sometimes and I understand
Speaker 2: why people during this time of year may not really
Speaker 2: connect with it, but just know that there's someone who
Speaker 2: is going through the same thing as you right now exactly.
Speaker 4: And I think that's the biggest thing we hear at KFI.
Speaker 4: Appreciate you tuning in to us each and every day.
Speaker 4: We really appreciate you spending your time and energy and
Speaker 4: effort listening to us. We know that you've got a
Speaker 4: lot of opportunities for riding in your car or whatever,
Speaker 4: and we know there are many other places you could turn,
Speaker 4: So we really really appreciate you tuning in and spending
Speaker 4: that time with us because we know how important time
Speaker 4: is and how valuable that time is, and so you
Speaker 4: know we're there for you, and you know it's a family,
Speaker 4: it's a team.
Speaker 2: Nick you are an invaluable voice and source for not
Speaker 2: only information but for connection. I mean, you're very busy.
Speaker 2: But when are we going to hear from you again?
Speaker 2: When are we going to see you again?
Speaker 3: Great question.
Speaker 4: I will definitely be making myself known here with Later
Speaker 4: with Mokelly and keeping you up to date with what's
Speaker 4: up with Nick. Hopefully I will be hanging out here
Speaker 4: it looks like on Tuesday nights for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know where I will resurface. You
Speaker 4: will know that I am no longer on the airwaves
Speaker 4: here with Heart Radio, and that is something that I am.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: You'll have to keep an ear and an eye out
Speaker 4: to see where I may resurface in the Southland. But
Speaker 4: I am definitely here and I am only a DM
Speaker 4: away on social media on Nick polyo'channy and this Weekend
Speaker 4: with Nick also have some possibilities of so Cal Underserved.
Speaker 4: If some of you have already slid into my dms
Speaker 4: and found out that there is a new social media
Speaker 4: channel that has a surfaced, some of you are quite
Speaker 4: the sluice and it's good to see that you are
Speaker 4: keeping an eye out. So so Cal Underserved is a
Speaker 4: possible new project that is on the horizon coming up. Also,
Speaker 4: you can always email me. You can find my YouTube
Speaker 4: channel which is in conversation with Nick Poliochanni and find
Speaker 4: a deeper dive into a lot of the different people
Speaker 4: behind the story of the stories behind those things that
Speaker 4: I've shared with you throughout the last two years and
Speaker 4: even before that. Here on Later with mo Kelly for
Speaker 4: this week of with Nick Pollochanni And yeah, so I'll
Speaker 4: be around you call on me, you know.
Speaker 2: Call on me.
Speaker 3: I will be there. I thought you were gonna do
Speaker 3: it like Michael Jackson. I'll be there. My falsetto is
Speaker 3: not there. Brother, I will lean on you for that.
Speaker 2: Well, the award winning Nick Poliochini, You're always welcome here
Speaker 2: and you will always have a home here. It's later
Speaker 2: with mo Kelly and Nick Palioken excuse me, and to
Speaker 2: Walla Sharp and Stephan and YouTube Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3: Thanks. Does it really have to include Mark? I mean,
Speaker 3: the RNA verse is a thing. The RNA verse is
Speaker 3: a thing. First, he's got his own universe.
Speaker 4: He does have his own universe, Like it's pretty wild.
Speaker 4: I don't know where we fall in the runa verse,
Speaker 4: but we know where rona Verse falls in.
Speaker 3: You'll look at the time. Oh can't. I AM six
Speaker 3: forty live everywhere now I heeartradio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Just want to give you a quick update on the
Speaker 2: Franklin fire. It has burned twenty eight hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: two acres. It still remains at zero percent containment. It
Speaker 2: continues to impact Malibu to pang A Canyon and surrounding communities.
Speaker 2: It is still being actively monitored and there are more
Speaker 2: than fifteen hundred firefighters and thirteen federal, state and local
Speaker 2: agencies involved. And also the La County Board of Supervisors
Speaker 2: has ratified their local emergency declaration earlier this afternoon. So
Speaker 2: we're continuing to monitor the Franklin fire and we'll have
Speaker 2: updates later on throughout the night with Mark Ronner and
Speaker 2: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. And probably everyone listening
Speaker 2: right now uses the text messaging as a form of communication,
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I think just about.
Speaker 2: Everyone has received the text has set a text utilized
Speaker 2: text message probably in a number of ways, not only
Speaker 2: to communicate, but as two factor authentication, so you can
Speaker 2: get into your favorite email or app to confirm that
Speaker 2: you or you. Texting is pretty important, but not everyone
Speaker 2: out there knows the right etiquette. Not everyone knows how
Speaker 2: you're supposed to do it. And I came across this article,
Speaker 2: interestingly enough, in the Wall Street Journal, and according to
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal article, it says, the two most
Speaker 2: dreaded words in a text conversation are usually at the
Speaker 2: very beginning, and it's usually by someone who is trying
Speaker 2: to be intentionally I'll stay vague. Have you ever received
Speaker 2: a text which just says call me? I have oh
Speaker 2: all the time, and it annoys me to know. In no, absolutely,
Speaker 2: I get it so regularly it's wild. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: know you want me to call you. But the issue
Speaker 2: is why am I calling you? Is it urgent? Is
Speaker 2: it urgent for me to call you? Or is it
Speaker 2: just you want me to stop what I'm doing and
Speaker 2: attend to you.
Speaker 3: Now Here are my rules. Here are my expectations. It's
Speaker 3: just in case you haven't heard them.
Speaker 2: If you text me, my expectation is, if you need
Speaker 2: something from me, you have to be explicit in what
Speaker 2: you need.
Speaker 3: It's not enough to say call me.
Speaker 2: You have to say call me or please call me
Speaker 2: because we need to talk about the agenda for the meeting,
Speaker 2: or something happened at the office too long for text,
Speaker 2: but we got to talk about it immediately. You can't
Speaker 2: be lazy with me because if you just say call
Speaker 2: me or you know, hit me back, as a lot
Speaker 2: of my friends will say, or something else, which is
Speaker 2: very very nonspecific, I'm not going to respond. I have
Speaker 2: a friend who just says MO, that's all he says,
Speaker 2: like I was supposed to say what or yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: here almost asking are you available? Well, no, I'm never
Speaker 2: available until i'm available. And it's incumbent upon you to
Speaker 2: tell me exactly what you need. Like, for example, Nick
Speaker 2: paulo'chini still in the studio, if he were to say, hey, MO,
Speaker 2: call me back, and I'm thinking like, well, Nick, if
Speaker 2: I call you back and you need something from me,
Speaker 2: if you tell me now, I can have it when
Speaker 2: we actually get on the phone, because if you don't
Speaker 2: tell me, it could have been like.
Speaker 3: Hey, Mo, you know what was that.
Speaker 2: Thing that you were talking about that was on Amazon
Speaker 2: that you had in the studio.
Speaker 3: You said you're gonna send me the Lincoln.
Speaker 2: Well, if you would have told me that when you
Speaker 2: put that into text, I could have just sent you
Speaker 2: that and been.
Speaker 3: Done with it right exactly.
Speaker 4: No, I think that, And it's funny because that's the
Speaker 4: context in this immediate information world that is so helpful
Speaker 4: and being able to get that immediacy, I don't understand.
Speaker 4: It's like especially and just to kind of related to
Speaker 4: not we get we're in this world where you send
Speaker 4: a secon text message before you make a phone call. Now,
Speaker 4: absolutely don't call me. I don't know exactly. And that's
Speaker 4: the same concept here. If I'm going to call, I'm
Speaker 4: going to send you a texts. I'm going to call
Speaker 4: you about this so that you are prepared with the
Speaker 4: answers I need so that we can get through what
Speaker 4: we need to get through, right.
Speaker 2: Because when you text someone, the upside to a text
Speaker 2: is it can politely interrupt anyone at any time. People
Speaker 2: have been texting me throughout this show, and I can
Speaker 2: respond to my wife, I can respond to another family
Speaker 2: member or a co worker, and I can give them information.
Speaker 2: I can answer their question and still keep my world moving.
Speaker 2: But the moment I have to stop to call you,
Speaker 2: that means I have to drop what I'm doing or
Speaker 2: wait till a more opportune time, and it's not going
Speaker 2: to be a more opportune time because you didn't respect
Speaker 2: by time to tell me what the hell it was about.
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna call you at all. Right, if
Speaker 2: it's important, you would have let me know.
Speaker 4: Exactly, which is so funny the thing, because how we're
Speaker 4: both from the generation where we didn't have the immediacy.
Speaker 3: No, I mean we came from the page degeneration, the.
Speaker 2: Pager generation before that answer machine generation exactly. You may
Speaker 2: not even get the message until hours later, exactly, And
Speaker 2: so we had no problem. But now it's like, I
Speaker 2: need to know exactly what is going to be needed
Speaker 2: of me because I have so many other obligations.
Speaker 3: I have so many other things that are going on.
Speaker 3: So no, I'm not there with here.
Speaker 2: I try to be respectful of other people's time, and
Speaker 2: I can be kind of Kurt and there's a lot
Speaker 2: of shorthand. But I may text Nick Poliochini, for example,
Speaker 2: in the morning, and I have to remind myself it's morning,
Speaker 2: say good morning, acknowledge the shout beginning a conversation other
Speaker 2: than hey, Nick, what.
Speaker 4: Time are you going to be at the studio? To night,
Speaker 4: which no, you're right, because I and I like you,
Speaker 4: am the same. And half the time I will do
Speaker 4: it out of order. I will do exactly what you
Speaker 4: just described it, and then at the end I'll say.
Speaker 3: Oh, good morning.
Speaker 4: We've done that to each other many times where it's
Speaker 4: the same thing because I'm like, okay, I'm going to
Speaker 4: get my nine bullet points down. Oh now I need
Speaker 4: to say wait, hold on, oh yeah, by the way,
Speaker 4: good morning, how's it going, and what you're doing.
Speaker 2: Part of this is there is an etiquette to this,
Speaker 2: and there is a way that you can more efficiently
Speaker 2: communicate with someone and get what you want. If you're
Speaker 2: texting someone and you're making a request of someone, going
Speaker 2: back to the story where it says you get the
Speaker 2: text and says call me a word to the wise,
Speaker 2: let the person know at least subject matter, parameter topic
Speaker 2: for discussion that you need them to call you for,
Speaker 2: because it might be an emergency, or it might be
Speaker 2: a total waste of time because you want to talk
Speaker 2: about a movie that you saw last night. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm right in the middle of the show. It's not
Speaker 2: going to be something that's on my to do list.
Speaker 2: But if you let me know that, and that's okay.
Speaker 2: I'll hit you when I get the car. But if
Speaker 2: you just say call me, I'm not calling you just
Speaker 2: because Rose, you didn't respect my Tommy, you didn't think
Speaker 2: enough to at least give me the information, because there's
Speaker 2: nothing worse than it's happened before. Someone will say call me,
Speaker 2: and I call them, and then they're asking for something
Speaker 2: that I got to get off the phone and go
Speaker 2: find or go do so either text them later or
Speaker 2: call them back later, when I could have just given
Speaker 2: them that information and not talked on the phone, because
Speaker 2: I would much rather not talk on the phone. There
Speaker 2: are some conversations that you actually have to have a
Speaker 2: phone conversation, but those are few and far between.
Speaker 4: Right, No, you're absolutely correct on that because and that's
Speaker 4: it's usually something very important or very timely or something
Speaker 4: that has you know, it's kind of like, hey, Stephan,
Speaker 4: can you pull the audio on this thing? Then that's did,
Speaker 4: like I need to get this done because I need
Speaker 4: it for this show that's coming up, or I need
Speaker 4: to send it to you know whatever.
Speaker 3: That's right. I just got my STD results back from
Speaker 3: the doctor. We need to talk. Wow, Mo, what's you
Speaker 3: doing later.
Speaker 4: I was like, at least it well, you know, there
Speaker 4: was that time this weekend, but right, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: That probably require there is a phone come indeed, because
Speaker 2: you don't want to say, call me back, I got
Speaker 2: the test results.
Speaker 4: It is no, you're right, yeah, no, because they and
Speaker 4: that's definitely something you do not want to find out BIAF.
Speaker 2: Just you just want to call that person directly. Yeah
Speaker 2: you got Are you sitting down, yes, so you're free.
Speaker 3: Can you talk for a minute? Yes? About it.
Speaker 2: There are these new rules which are kind of being written,
Speaker 2: and they're unwritten every single day.
Speaker 3: I'll give you another one talking about phones.
Speaker 2: When you call someone, Let's say you're in the car
Speaker 2: and there's someone else in the car with you and
Speaker 2: you obviously that person is on speakerphone that you're talking to.
Speaker 3: I think it is a must.
Speaker 2: There's a requirement to let that person know you're on speakerphone.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, that's no, that's a big thing. And
Speaker 4: I don't care, especially what you just subscribed there. I
Speaker 4: have my nieces with me a lot, and so it's
Speaker 4: always even just to that specific notion of I've got
Speaker 4: my nieces in the background, or you're on speakerphone or
Speaker 4: whatever situation is. It does not matter, just purely out
Speaker 4: of respect.
Speaker 2: Not only that when you say you got your nieces
Speaker 2: in the car, that added information is also important because
Speaker 2: just because you tell me we're on speakerphone, it doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that I'm going to drop fewer f bombs. You're right,
Speaker 2: you know, because I'm thinking, well, I'm not that uncle, right, right,
Speaker 2: my sister, Yeah, no, right. I remember there was one
Speaker 2: time and I was going to play a joke on
Speaker 2: Shannon Farrin and she speaking of all me when I
Speaker 2: was doing my Saturday show one night, and I said, well,
Speaker 2: let me just go ahead and put her on speaker
Speaker 2: and on the air and see what happens. She dropped
Speaker 2: bombs three words in, and I said, that'll teach me.
Speaker 3: You know, you might have let up, pa. Yes, you
Speaker 3: gotta let people know.
Speaker 2: It's it's unfair to the caller, and it might be
Speaker 2: also unfair to the person who's in the car with you.
Speaker 3: They may hear something that they didn't want to hear. No,
Speaker 3: that's true, but.
Speaker 2: There are some rules here, and I would expect people
Speaker 2: if you're actually going to have a positive communication relationship
Speaker 2: with family members or colleagues. These are things you just
Speaker 2: gotta know. You gotta know. And I have family members
Speaker 2: to this day who will violate all these rules and
Speaker 2: they'll just say, MO, that's the text expecting me to engage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I refuse. I don't care if somebody's dying.
Speaker 2: I am not responding to that until you tell me, MO,
Speaker 2: somebody's dying.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, that means nine to one one. Now I
Speaker 3: gotta respond. Don't take de bait. No, oh, no, I refuse.
Speaker 3: Did you get my text?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: I didn't see it. Sorry.
Speaker 2: If you want to play dumb, I will play dumb
Speaker 2: because there's no reason for me to play smart with that.
Speaker 2: Mark does it to me all the time. I don't
Speaker 2: want to call him out, but it was time.
Speaker 5: Your gratitude is so anemic right now. I don't think
Speaker 5: you people understand the gift I give to you of nothingness.
Speaker 2: Now you do text, but you will be very specific
Speaker 2: and completely If you're gonna text me, especially it's like
Speaker 2: late at night and you're watching something or I'm watching something,
Speaker 2: it's very clear.
Speaker 3: It's not just like, hey you up? Can we you
Speaker 3: know you up?
Speaker 4: At three am? What kind of text missuses are your
Speaker 4: two sending. I know the hours we keep, but I'm
Speaker 4: just saying, look, I get those texts.
Speaker 3: And they are innocent enough.
Speaker 2: It's just that people don't think these things through and
Speaker 2: they expect a response.
Speaker 3: You will not get a response.
Speaker 2: I've done it to my mother, true story, and she's
Speaker 2: one of the ones who'll say, call me no, I
Speaker 2: refuse Mommy.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM.
Speaker 2: Six forty before we get out of here. I enjoy
Speaker 2: listening to Mark Ronnerd. I tease him all the time,
Speaker 2: but he usually has some great recommendations, and I will
Speaker 2: take up his recommendations, and sometimes he will take me
Speaker 2: up on mine. And we don't necessarily like the exact
Speaker 2: same things he likes to show. Kung Fu I think
Speaker 2: is garbage. I forgive you for your ignorance. It's okay.
Speaker 2: It's what Kawi Chan Kane would do too. Yes you would,
Speaker 2: but you know he's not real and neither is your
Speaker 2: never mind. My point is sometimes you come up with
Speaker 2: some really good stuff. And I heard that you started
Speaker 2: watching Cross on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 5: Oh I did. I did, and it was much better
Speaker 5: than I figured. Because we've seen Alex Cross in several iterations,
Speaker 5: and you can like any of them to whatever degree
Speaker 5: that you do.
Speaker 3: This might be my favorite one.
Speaker 2: If I can say anything that's really positive about this
Speaker 2: streaming moment is there are a lot of good, good
Speaker 2: TV shows out there, more so than I think than
Speaker 2: ever before that I'm willing to spend time with. I've
Speaker 2: binged Cross, I think in maybe two days or so.
Speaker 2: It's just one season so far, but it's a it's
Speaker 2: a season long story arc, and it's it's more horror story,
Speaker 2: I would say, than detect procedural. It's I don't want
Speaker 2: to give too much away for those who haven't seen him,
Speaker 2: but it's more reminiscent to me of Seven or Silence
Speaker 2: of the Lambs than a traditional detective TV show, and
Speaker 2: that really drew me in. There are real stakes. Every
Speaker 2: character is in danger, I would say, every single one.
Speaker 2: And I like those shows because not only is everyone expendable,
Speaker 2: you know that each episode matters. And I can say this,
Speaker 2: you haven't gotten as far yet Mark. Every episode matters
Speaker 2: and there's no filler or waste I will.
Speaker 5: I'm obsessed with that French showed the Bureau, which the
Speaker 5: agency is completely a remake of Right Now. But Alex
Speaker 5: the Cross Show, I find it extra interesting. I like
Speaker 5: the Morgan Freeman Cross but this younger version of him
Speaker 5: is entertaining to me because they really get into some
Speaker 5: uncomfortable kind conversations that are not sanitized, No or your protection.
Speaker 3: Not at all. Its topical.
Speaker 2: It's timely, and they're talking about issues which are relevant today.
Speaker 2: It's not just some detective in some city at some
Speaker 2: time in history. No, it's very much set in today. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they have some nerve the territory they get into. I
Speaker 2: do appreciate the detective horror story thing, but we've had
Speaker 2: that since Manhunter came out in nineteen eighty six. That
Speaker 2: to me, isn't quite as new anymore. But I always
Speaker 2: like that kind of stuff that's cracked to me, just
Speaker 2: like a spy show would be. But this, to me,
Speaker 2: is in the writing and just the they get right
Speaker 2: up in each other's face and say things that you
Speaker 2: don't figure you would hear a mainstream television character say,
Speaker 2: and they don't. You know, they don't avoid any racial
Speaker 2: topics at all. It's all just put right out there.
Speaker 2: There are so many shows that I'm watching on streaming
Speaker 2: more than ever before. I've almost given up completely on
Speaker 2: broadcast television because broadcast television will never measure up, not
Speaker 2: in terms of the violence, the language, the subject matter.
Speaker 3: It's just not enough anymore.
Speaker 2: I still have one or two procedurals that I watch,
Speaker 2: like a Law and Order SVU and Chicago PD. But
Speaker 2: outside of that, there's nothing on broadcast TV which is
Speaker 2: going to appeal to me. I mean, I'm watching Linus,
Speaker 2: I'm watching Lawman, I just finish up Cross, I'm watching
Speaker 2: Day of the Jackal. There's so many things that I
Speaker 2: can watch on a given night which have all the gore,
Speaker 2: the violence, the adult themes, even the nudity. At times,
Speaker 2: broadcast TV just can't keep up.
Speaker 5: Well, it's always been pablum. I mean it's been enjoyable
Speaker 5: pablum sometimes. But that's why when something comes along like Evil,
Speaker 5: which was on CBS, you got to support that, because
Speaker 5: something that good and that edgy is a rare, rare thing.
Speaker 5: And Evil was also smart and funny in addition to
Speaker 5: being kind of unsettling.
Speaker 2: But they also moved it to streaming. I think in
Speaker 2: their last season they.
Speaker 5: Did, and boy did they go to town or they
Speaker 5: did they went to town in terms of language and
Speaker 5: sitch situations and stuff that you just couldn't show on
Speaker 5: network TV, Like, okay, if they're gonna put us at
Speaker 5: the other table over here, let's just let's cut loose.
Speaker 5: Have you guys checked out James Gunns Creature Commandos yet?
Speaker 3: Yes? I have not.
Speaker 5: Oh you got to? Okay, you got to. It sounds
Speaker 5: like you liked it more than I did. I loved it.
Speaker 5: I loved it.
Speaker 3: I did. I loved it.
Speaker 5: I loved the because you know, I'm familiar with the characters,
Speaker 5: and I love how they're building this. They're not trying
Speaker 5: to rush into the story. They're not shy about anything
Speaker 5: that the Creature Commandos are doing. Even though it's an
Speaker 5: animated series, it is a very adult animated series. Take
Speaker 5: your kids outside. There is bucket nakedness in Creature Commando.
Speaker 5: What's cartoon nakedness? Set it up for people, though, Tuala.
Speaker 5: Creature Commandos is essentially a version of the Suicide Squad
Speaker 5: that is made up of monsters Frankenstein, Frankenstein's bride, along
Speaker 5: with some other characters that you have seen in the
Speaker 5: Suicide Squad, like Weasel makes return. It stars Frank Grillo,
Speaker 5: who's a fantastic as I Love Frank Grillo and The
Speaker 5: Beauty of Creature Commandos, which is James Gunn and Peter
Speaker 5: soft Froun's first release from their iteration.
Speaker 3: Of the DC Universe.
Speaker 5: Every character in this series will appear in live action
Speaker 5: form in the future movies and television series as well.
Speaker 5: David Harbor plays Frankenstein. It is great. It is great
Speaker 5: because I love what's happening so far. When to me,
Speaker 5: when I walked out, I said to myself, this had
Speaker 5: better be good, dumb, stupid fun with foul language, violence,
Speaker 5: nudity all that. I said, Oh, thank you got it.
Speaker 5: First episodes. I do want to see a live version
Speaker 5: of Doctor Phosphorus.
Speaker 3: Is it Max? It's on Max. Yeah, it's on Max. See,
Speaker 3: there's so much good stuff out there.
Speaker 2: All right, tomorrow we'll have that nice exercise lady join us,
Speaker 2: Claudine Cooper, We'll have the viral load, and we'll hopefully
Speaker 2: have you. Kf I am six forty. We are alive
