WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.679 I am six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly. 2 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.760 We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube. 3 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.039 The YouTube video simulcast is underway, and this is where 4 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.679 I wanted to start tonight. I was listening to you, 5 00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.399 Mark Ronner talking about the passing of Wink Martindale. 6 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.719 Yeah, I wrote that myself. 7 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.520 We didn't have it, and I wanted to make sure 8 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.479 that it was in our very first news week. We 9 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.880 were on the same page. We didn't even talk about this. 10 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.159 Yes, yes, I remember when I was in middle school 11 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.640 and also early high school, I did not ever miss 12 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:55.600 Ticktec Dough. 13 00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.320 I never missed tick Teck Dog. I believe that about you. Yes, okay, 14 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:00.679 we know. 15 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.200 Weink Martindale also did Gambit and other shows, but for me, 16 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.920 he was synonymous with Tic Tac Dough. 17 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.959 Oh yeah. I watched him every night. 18 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.840 And it wasn't until I got into radio that I 19 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:16.079 had learned about his radio origins. And I've loved him 20 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.280 even more because of that, because I could see how 21 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.680 a radio career as a disc jockey and a radio 22 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.480 personality which is somewhat different propelled. 23 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.439 Him to game show host. 24 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.239 It's fascinating when you learn about the backgrounds of these 25 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.359 game show hosts, like especially Peter Marshall, who died I 26 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.680 believe last year. And we had Alison Martino from that 27 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.680 great vintage La thing. I say thing because it's like 28 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.439 across all media talking about him, and she was in 29 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.640 fact friends with Wink Martindale and the last time I 30 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.439 spoke with her, I asked her if we could hook 31 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.079 up with Wink for whenever it was the next time 32 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.280 I was going to guest host. But yeah, yeah, he 33 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.239 was a legend in the game show community, and I 34 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.760 think he did not get his do among game show hosts. 35 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.159 And I don't want to compare them, but you heard 36 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:13.960 more about a Monty Python, Monty Hall. Excuse me, Bob Barker, 37 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.319 you know you heard more about other even Bob you Banks, 38 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.479 you heard more about them. But I felt more of 39 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.560 an affinity for Wink Mark. I think you Banks is 40 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.960 still with us, and I was talking He's still with us. Yeah, 41 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.240 I was talking about this with the long suffering one. Today, 42 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.719 I think attitudes have changed toward game show hosts and 43 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.159 game shows like when you and I were kids, I 44 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.319 think the hosts were regarded as cheesy helmets, spray haired 45 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.960 kind of weirdos and and now I would happily host 46 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:43.639 a game show. 47 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.400 The whole concept of TV and game shows has changed. 48 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.520 When we were growing up, TV was considered beneath movies 49 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.280 and you daytime TV, especially when you talk about game 50 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.960 shows or soap operas. Now now it's changed where you 51 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.520 have big stars doing TV, big stars doing TV game shows. 52 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.520 Well also you can speak for yourself, but I was 53 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.879 just stupid and I you know, watch an episode of 54 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.159 Match Game now with Gene Rayburn. I love Gene Rayburn 55 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.560 as well. I mean just the match game music. They're 56 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:17.039 just little. 57 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.360 The amount of comedy which was exhibited by like a 58 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.879 Wink Martindale or a Gene Rayburn was so underappreciated. To 59 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:33.759 watch a match game and see Fanny Flag or someone 60 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.599 really really pushed the limits and boundaries of humor for 61 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.120 nineteen seventies TV. Oh, Charles Nelson, Nelson Riley, Paul Linde 62 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.520 on Hollywood Squares. There was a lot of talent, I 63 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.599 think which was just undervalued. And of course, not to 64 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.039 get too far away from Wink Martindale, if you followed 65 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:57.039 Wink's career, it's very closely tied to Elvis Presley and 66 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.479 one of the things that Wink Martindale did was he 67 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.719 did a long tribute radio tribute to Elvis Presley when 68 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.039 he died. Where do you think I get a lot 69 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.280 of my ideas for radio tributes from. 70 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.400 That's a direct line from Wink Martindale. 71 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.680 When someone passes, and it's hard to do it now, 72 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.279 especially with music because we can't put music in a podcast. 73 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.199 But I made it a big deal to do these 74 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.959 elaborate sort of retrospectives when music artists would pass a 75 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.519 lah Wink Martindale. 76 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.959 I hope he knew in his later years how appreciated 77 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:32.360 he was. 78 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.959 You know, I never met him. I never had the 79 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.439 opportunity to interview him. I wish I did. And sometimes 80 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.680 when they're out of the public eye, they're not at 81 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.560 the forefront of your mind and you don't actively think 82 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.120 about him, and then unfortunately the news comes across your 83 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.360 desk like you did today. Then Wink Martindale had passed 84 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.360 at the age of ninety one. I can say, and 85 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:54.959 I've said this about other people, but I can say 86 00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.319 it about Wink Martindale. He didn't get cheated in life. 87 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:01.879 I would say that. 88 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.920 He he gave a lot and he got a lot back, 89 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.439 maybe not as much as I think he deserved, given 90 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.560 the amount of talent that he had, but I know 91 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.360 that for me he was one of the best ever. 92 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.160 Ninety one is a good long run, and I am 93 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.360 happy to pay tribute to Wink. Let's not forget okay, 94 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.319 there's no other Wink that we know of. 95 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.680 Actually there is now there is a there's an NFL coach, 96 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.600 oh who his last name is Martindale, and he then 97 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.839 he adopted the nickname of Wink. 98 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.800 I have to look it up, but it seems like blasphemy. 99 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.800 Look, and I think it couldn't have been like related 100 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.480 to him as far as the NFL coach and I think, 101 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.839 but obviously at least his Yeah, Don Wink Martindale is 102 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.319 an American football coach is a defensive coordinator for the 103 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.639 University of Michigan right now. 104 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:54.920 Yep. 105 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.720 And by the way, just for trivia's sake, Wink Martindale's 106 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.399 real name was Winston Conrad Martin Day. Yeah, I knew 107 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.360 it was when I didn't know. It was short for Windstack. 108 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.000 That's a rather aristocratic sounding name. I can see how 109 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.000 you'd want to go with Wink. 110 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.959 I was looking for hours trying to find a decent 111 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.759 Tic Tac Dough music intro, and it's just not out there. 112 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.839 I was searching high and low on YouTube, and I 113 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.319 wanted specifically the theme which was used from seventy eight 114 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.000 to eighty six, because that's when I was watching the show, 115 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.040 not the later versions. 116 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.399 I don't know if you were looking at me in 117 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.399 the camera and my cat like head movements, like when 118 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.800 when a cat starts to smell a can being open, 119 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.519 I could tell what was going on. 120 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.120 Yeah, there were certain things that look, I just have 121 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.879 to start with this. And the news broke rather recently. 122 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.680 It wasn't like something I had time to prepare. It 123 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.600 wasn't like something I've really had time to go into 124 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:46.720 my thoughts and think back. 125 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.439 This is all off the top of my head. 126 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.160 But he he facilitated a lot of good memories because 127 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.879 when I came, I know, tickt Joke came on in 128 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.079 the evening, and maybe it came on the daytime as well, 129 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.000 but I watched it after I got home from school 130 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.439 because I'd watch Tic Tac Dough, I think Joker's Wild 131 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:05.720 and then Benny Hill. 132 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.319 They were all it's a good combo. 133 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.279 Yeah, I was watching all of them each night, and 134 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.720 I think Benny Hill was the nightcap for me. I 135 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.639 had to go to sleep at nine thirty school nights. 136 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.560 It was very early for me. You had a very 137 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.120 strict childhood, Yes I did. 138 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.800 Yes, I do illicitly stay up late and quietly turn 139 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.439 on like Tom Snyder on my little black and white TV. 140 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.839 Oh the best I could do. I had a little 141 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.160 phil Co TV, but I couldn't turn it on. I 142 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.360 had this radio. And it's interesting because you know, your 143 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.480 life comes full circle. I would listen to the radio 144 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.000 late at night, or at least late at night in 145 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.560 my world, and that's when I started listening to KABC 146 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.040 radio talk radio. My parents would listen to it in 147 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:50.720 the morning. So I'd listened to the Ken and Bob 148 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.000 Company and fell in love with Paul Harvey. 149 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.199 I'm Paul Harvey. 150 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.600 Oh yeah, and now you know the rest of the story. 151 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:04.480 We could have dueling Paul Harvey. Yes, but my point 152 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.120 is listening to the radio. 153 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:10.879 I fell in love with the storytelling without being able 154 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.439 to see it. 155 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.839 And game show hosts is very similar. 156 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.839 And then you start investigating game show hosts, Oh my goodness, 157 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.639 radio background, and it all makes sense. 158 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.439 It does so rip wink. That was the first thing 159 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.560 I woke up to today and it kind of put 160 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:25.399 me in a funky mood. 161 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.120 It did, But I'm glad I have someone to at 162 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.319 least remember him with. 163 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.639 Absolutely, and as Paul Harvey would say, good good day, 164 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.480 Yes all Harvey, he was in content. 165 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.399 It's Later with mo Kelly if I Am six forty 166 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.279 live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube at mister 167 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.320 mo Kelly.

It's tax day or is it now? 172 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.519 It depends on what your plans are and what you've 173 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:08.519 been dealing with this tax year. California residents and businesses 174 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.320 who may have been affected by the wildfires back in 175 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.200 January got a six month extension that is October fifteenth, 176 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.519 to file federal tax returns and make payments. 177 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.600 That's cordat. 178 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.360 Yeah, And look, I always do my taxes and file 179 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.759 in October. I just tell my accountant, we're just doing 180 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.759 it in October. It's just better and it's easier for 181 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.240 my life to not have to rush getting all my 182 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:39.879 documents together. But California is also giving an automatic six 183 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:46.960 month extension to file all tax returns for all Californians. However, 184 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.679 any taxes owed for a calendar year twenty twenty four 185 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.559 must be deposited and postmarked by Tuesday. That's according to 186 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.559 the State Franchise Tax Board. So let me just separate 187 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.399 that out.

It took me a couple of 378 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.200 years before I got into my first uber. It took 379 00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.680 me a while. I was not like all gung ho 380 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.440 ab and I'm not gung ho about this. But Waimo 381 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:08.960 the latest is Weimo is now going to Tokyo. The 382 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.759 Jaguar cars that you've probably seen around south of California, 383 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.039 they're going to use those same cars, same technology, but 384 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.279 in Tokyo they will be driver operated, at least in 385 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:23.160 the beginning, as these waymo vehicles will begin mapping the 386 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:28.519 local roads, the infrastructure, and also driving habits of people 387 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:29.720 who live in Tokyo. 388 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:32.519 In the larger metropolitan area. 389 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.920 Quote, it's important for us to understand the difference in 390 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:36.960 driving environment. 391 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.039 What makes the driving here unique. 392 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:45.279 That's Nicole Gavel, Waymo's head of business development and strategic Partnerships. Also, 393 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.599 the system is going to use a very small area 394 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:54.759 of international roads, though the cars will be manually driven 395 00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.880 with Waymo technology on board. So if you were to 396 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.599 use a Weimo in Tokyo, at least for the foreseeable future, 397 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.960 it will have an actual driver. 398 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.759 Which is kind of weird. 399 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.559 But you know, it's not really drivers technology if you 400 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.240 have an actual driver, but it's learning the roads, learning 401 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.200
