Speaker 1: I am six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube.
Speaker 2: The YouTube video simulcast is underway, and this is where
Speaker 2: I wanted to start tonight. I was listening to you,
Speaker 2: Mark Ronner talking about the passing of Wink Martindale.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wrote that myself.
Speaker 3: We didn't have it, and I wanted to make sure
Speaker 3: that it was in our very first news week. We
Speaker 3: were on the same page. We didn't even talk about this.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I remember when I was in middle school
Speaker 2: and also early high school, I did not ever miss
Speaker 2: Ticktec Dough.
Speaker 1: I never missed tick Teck Dog. I believe that about you. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: we know.
Speaker 2: Weink Martindale also did Gambit and other shows, but for me,
Speaker 2: he was synonymous with Tic Tac Dough.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I watched him every night.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't until I got into radio that I
Speaker 2: had learned about his radio origins. And I've loved him
Speaker 2: even more because of that, because I could see how
Speaker 2: a radio career as a disc jockey and a radio
Speaker 2: personality which is somewhat different propelled.
Speaker 1: Him to game show host.
Speaker 3: It's fascinating when you learn about the backgrounds of these
Speaker 3: game show hosts, like especially Peter Marshall, who died I
Speaker 3: believe last year. And we had Alison Martino from that
Speaker 3: great vintage La thing. I say thing because it's like
Speaker 3: across all media talking about him, and she was in
Speaker 3: fact friends with Wink Martindale and the last time I
Speaker 3: spoke with her, I asked her if we could hook
Speaker 3: up with Wink for whenever it was the next time
Speaker 3: I was going to guest host. But yeah, yeah, he
Speaker 3: was a legend in the game show community, and I
Speaker 3: think he did not get his do among game show hosts.
Speaker 3: And I don't want to compare them, but you heard
Speaker 3: more about a Monty Python, Monty Hall. Excuse me, Bob Barker,
Speaker 3: you know you heard more about other even Bob you Banks,
Speaker 3: you heard more about them. But I felt more of
Speaker 3: an affinity for Wink Mark. I think you Banks is
Speaker 3: still with us, and I was talking He's still with us. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was talking about this with the long suffering one. Today,
Speaker 3: I think attitudes have changed toward game show hosts and
Speaker 3: game shows like when you and I were kids, I
Speaker 3: think the hosts were regarded as cheesy helmets, spray haired
Speaker 3: kind of weirdos and and now I would happily host
Speaker 3: a game show.
Speaker 2: The whole concept of TV and game shows has changed.
Speaker 2: When we were growing up, TV was considered beneath movies
Speaker 2: and you daytime TV, especially when you talk about game
Speaker 2: shows or soap operas. Now now it's changed where you
Speaker 2: have big stars doing TV, big stars doing TV game shows.
Speaker 3: Well also you can speak for yourself, but I was
Speaker 3: just stupid and I you know, watch an episode of
Speaker 3: Match Game now with Gene Rayburn. I love Gene Rayburn
Speaker 3: as well. I mean just the match game music. They're
Speaker 3: just little.
Speaker 2: The amount of comedy which was exhibited by like a
Speaker 2: Wink Martindale or a Gene Rayburn was so underappreciated. To
Speaker 2: watch a match game and see Fanny Flag or someone
Speaker 2: really really pushed the limits and boundaries of humor for
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies TV. Oh, Charles Nelson, Nelson Riley, Paul Linde
Speaker 2: on Hollywood Squares. There was a lot of talent, I
Speaker 2: think which was just undervalued. And of course, not to
Speaker 2: get too far away from Wink Martindale, if you followed
Speaker 2: Wink's career, it's very closely tied to Elvis Presley and
Speaker 2: one of the things that Wink Martindale did was he
Speaker 2: did a long tribute radio tribute to Elvis Presley when
Speaker 2: he died. Where do you think I get a lot
Speaker 2: of my ideas for radio tributes from.
Speaker 1: That's a direct line from Wink Martindale.
Speaker 2: When someone passes, and it's hard to do it now,
Speaker 2: especially with music because we can't put music in a podcast.
Speaker 2: But I made it a big deal to do these
Speaker 2: elaborate sort of retrospectives when music artists would pass a
Speaker 2: lah Wink Martindale.
Speaker 3: I hope he knew in his later years how appreciated
Speaker 3: he was.
Speaker 2: You know, I never met him. I never had the
Speaker 2: opportunity to interview him. I wish I did. And sometimes
Speaker 2: when they're out of the public eye, they're not at
Speaker 2: the forefront of your mind and you don't actively think
Speaker 2: about him, and then unfortunately the news comes across your
Speaker 2: desk like you did today. Then Wink Martindale had passed
Speaker 2: at the age of ninety one. I can say, and
Speaker 2: I've said this about other people, but I can say
Speaker 2: it about Wink Martindale. He didn't get cheated in life.
Speaker 2: I would say that.
Speaker 3: He he gave a lot and he got a lot back,
Speaker 3: maybe not as much as I think he deserved, given
Speaker 3: the amount of talent that he had, but I know
Speaker 3: that for me he was one of the best ever.
Speaker 3: Ninety one is a good long run, and I am
Speaker 3: happy to pay tribute to Wink. Let's not forget okay,
Speaker 3: there's no other Wink that we know of.
Speaker 2: Actually there is now there is a there's an NFL coach,
Speaker 2: oh who his last name is Martindale, and he then
Speaker 2: he adopted the nickname of Wink.
Speaker 1: I have to look it up, but it seems like blasphemy.
Speaker 3: Look, and I think it couldn't have been like related
Speaker 3: to him as far as the NFL coach and I think,
Speaker 3: but obviously at least his Yeah, Don Wink Martindale is
Speaker 3: an American football coach is a defensive coordinator for the
Speaker 3: University of Michigan right now.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: And by the way, just for trivia's sake, Wink Martindale's
Speaker 3: real name was Winston Conrad Martin Day. Yeah, I knew
Speaker 3: it was when I didn't know. It was short for Windstack.
Speaker 3: That's a rather aristocratic sounding name. I can see how
Speaker 3: you'd want to go with Wink.
Speaker 2: I was looking for hours trying to find a decent
Speaker 2: Tic Tac Dough music intro, and it's just not out there.
Speaker 2: I was searching high and low on YouTube, and I
Speaker 2: wanted specifically the theme which was used from seventy eight
Speaker 2: to eighty six, because that's when I was watching the show,
Speaker 2: not the later versions.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you were looking at me in
Speaker 3: the camera and my cat like head movements, like when
Speaker 3: when a cat starts to smell a can being open,
Speaker 3: I could tell what was going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were certain things that look, I just have
Speaker 2: to start with this. And the news broke rather recently.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like something I had time to prepare. It
Speaker 2: wasn't like something I've really had time to go into
Speaker 2: my thoughts and think back.
Speaker 1: This is all off the top of my head.
Speaker 2: But he he facilitated a lot of good memories because
Speaker 2: when I came, I know, tickt Joke came on in
Speaker 2: the evening, and maybe it came on the daytime as well,
Speaker 2: but I watched it after I got home from school
Speaker 2: because I'd watch Tic Tac Dough, I think Joker's Wild
Speaker 2: and then Benny Hill.
Speaker 1: They were all it's a good combo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was watching all of them each night, and
Speaker 2: I think Benny Hill was the nightcap for me. I
Speaker 2: had to go to sleep at nine thirty school nights.
Speaker 2: It was very early for me. You had a very
Speaker 2: strict childhood, Yes I did.
Speaker 3: Yes, I do illicitly stay up late and quietly turn
Speaker 3: on like Tom Snyder on my little black and white TV.
Speaker 2: Oh the best I could do. I had a little
Speaker 2: phil Co TV, but I couldn't turn it on. I
Speaker 2: had this radio. And it's interesting because you know, your
Speaker 2: life comes full circle. I would listen to the radio
Speaker 2: late at night, or at least late at night in
Speaker 2: my world, and that's when I started listening to KABC
Speaker 2: radio talk radio. My parents would listen to it in
Speaker 2: the morning. So I'd listened to the Ken and Bob
Speaker 2: Company and fell in love with Paul Harvey.
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Harvey.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and now you know the rest of the story.
Speaker 4: We could have dueling Paul Harvey. Yes, but my point
Speaker 4: is listening to the radio.
Speaker 3: I fell in love with the storytelling without being able
Speaker 3: to see it.
Speaker 1: And game show hosts is very similar.
Speaker 2: And then you start investigating game show hosts, Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: radio background, and it all makes sense.
Speaker 3: It does so rip wink. That was the first thing
Speaker 3: I woke up to today and it kind of put
Speaker 3: me in a funky mood.
Speaker 2: It did, But I'm glad I have someone to at
Speaker 2: least remember him with.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and as Paul Harvey would say, good good day,
Speaker 3: Yes all Harvey, he was in content.
Speaker 2: It's Later with mo Kelly if I Am six forty
Speaker 2: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube at mister
Speaker 2: mo Kelly. Check out the live video stream.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And also on YouTube at mister Mokelly. The live video
Speaker 2: cast simulcast stream. It's tax day or is it now?
Speaker 2: It depends on what your plans are and what you've
Speaker 2: been dealing with this tax year. California residents and businesses
Speaker 2: who may have been affected by the wildfires back in
Speaker 2: January got a six month extension that is October fifteenth,
Speaker 2: to file federal tax returns and make payments.
Speaker 1: That's cordat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, I always do my taxes and file
Speaker 2: in October. I just tell my accountant, we're just doing
Speaker 2: it in October. It's just better and it's easier for
Speaker 2: my life to not have to rush getting all my
Speaker 2: documents together. But California is also giving an automatic six
Speaker 2: month extension to file all tax returns for all Californians. However,
Speaker 2: any taxes owed for a calendar year twenty twenty four
Speaker 2: must be deposited and postmarked by Tuesday. That's according to
Speaker 2: the State Franchise Tax Board. So let me just separate
Speaker 2: that out. You have a six month extension for your
Speaker 2: state taxes, but any taxes that you owe, you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to get those in a mail now. In other words,
Speaker 2: you're still pretty much gonna have to do your taxes
Speaker 2: if you think you're gonna owe. But as far as
Speaker 2: the federal income tax, you can get a six month
Speaker 2: extension until October fifteenth, especially if you are affected by
Speaker 2: the January wildfires.
Speaker 1: And I say that to say, you can always ask
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, you can always file for that six month extension.
Speaker 3: Don't think, well, the fires really didn't impact me, I
Speaker 3: can't get the extension.
Speaker 1: No, that's something that's always available to you.
Speaker 3: But especially if you've been impacted like Toula, I would
Speaker 3: say to you, you have been impacted, you definitely have
Speaker 3: that six month extension available to you.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's being used, just believe. Yeah, and I'm using
Speaker 1: it as well.
Speaker 2: And I know that today, as April fifteenth, tax Day
Speaker 2: is for the most part over for a lot of people,
Speaker 2: just because your work days over, there are still some
Speaker 2: i'll say, some discounts and some freebies that you can
Speaker 2: get before this day is completely done.
Speaker 1: In fact, let me direct you to Burger King.
Speaker 3: Royal Perk account holders can purchase a cheeseburger for one
Speaker 3: penny with any one dollar purchase at Burger King through
Speaker 3: April twentieth.
Speaker 1: As a matter of.
Speaker 3: Fact, too many conditions on that. I know you got
Speaker 3: to have an app. I suppose it's always and it's
Speaker 3: any Come on, mark, No, you have to make a
Speaker 3: dollar purchase as well.
Speaker 1: You have to make a dollar purchase.
Speaker 2: At the Burger King and that's after you use the
Speaker 2: Burger King app or order online.
Speaker 3: I question the legitimacy of the Burger King's monarchy.
Speaker 1: I don't know. They rule pretty supreme. Every time I.
Speaker 3: See the actual Burger King and commercials, he looks suspectus.
Speaker 1: Yes, he looks like a criminal. Yeah. Is it the
Speaker 1: expressionless face? Yeah, that's part of it. That's part of it.
Speaker 3: I think we need to deport him. Definitely could krispy
Speaker 3: Kreme today only this is one of those you gotta
Speaker 3: get it done today. When you order any dozen donuts
Speaker 3: online for pickup or delivery, you get a second dozen
Speaker 3: of original glazed donuts for free with the discount code
Speaker 3: tax break. And if you ever have been in this
Speaker 3: studio when they are Krispy Kreme donuts, I have to
Speaker 3: tell them this is a true story. I say get
Speaker 3: the donuts out of here, because I will eat all
Speaker 3: of them. The last time you had a dozen in here,
Speaker 3: I had at least four or five. Yes, don't get
Speaker 3: between you and the donuts. And they are always original glazes.
Speaker 3: I don't care about any other flavor, original grit glazes.
Speaker 3: I'm eating as many as possible and dealing with the
Speaker 3: after effects later, hopefully I don't die in a diabetic coma.
Speaker 3: Were you deprived of them as a child? What accounts
Speaker 3: for this? I don't There's something about them. I love
Speaker 3: the taste of them, I really do.
Speaker 1: And they're so easy to eat. They go down like nothing.
Speaker 2: Yes, And just to make Tuila mad, I chase them
Speaker 2: with a glass of water.
Speaker 3: You the water, my favorite was like, God, get him
Speaker 3: out of here, and they'll sit on this other table
Speaker 3: that we have outside, and he'll still yell you guys.
Speaker 1: Haven't finished these yet? Yes, because I still have to
Speaker 1: pass them. You leave them like right in my path
Speaker 1: when I leave the studio.
Speaker 2: When I say get him out of here, it doesn't
Speaker 2: mean move them further away so I can still smell
Speaker 2: them and see them.
Speaker 1: Because you do walk by and come back with another one,
Speaker 1: like right every single time? Who got the donuts? Saue?
Speaker 2: Oh it was Ed Garrigus who who brought the donuts
Speaker 2: and also the Windy's food?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was Nick. Nick brought but.
Speaker 3: It was both special donut but also but Ed did
Speaker 3: one night as well, Yes he did.
Speaker 1: What am I getting called out for Christmas?
Speaker 3: Ran?
Speaker 1: Yeah? The special don't oh right right when we were
Speaker 1: doing the Hulu thing. Yes, yes, yes, you're another trouble maker.
Speaker 1: And I didn't bring you any food. I brought some
Speaker 1: other stuff for tonight, but no food tonight.
Speaker 6: Good.
Speaker 2: Thank you if you decided to purchase your donuts in person.
Speaker 2: The second original glaze does and will be the equivalent
Speaker 2: to the California Sales tax doves and for the first does,
Speaker 2: and that comes out to about a dollar fifty two
Speaker 2: under current.
Speaker 3: Statewide sales tax rates. See that mark is right, too much.
Speaker 3: Just give it to me free, give it to me
Speaker 3: for a dollar whatever. Just don't that's too much reading.
Speaker 3: I'm reading it and I still don't understand it.
Speaker 4: I need to walk in and say taxes and get
Speaker 4: myself a free donut.
Speaker 3: It's tax break. That's the discount code standing there. Until
Speaker 3: you get it right too, they'll just look at you
Speaker 3: like it's jeopardy. Oh no, sorry. The correct answer is
Speaker 3: what is tax break? Check shack the purchase of ten
Speaker 3: dollars and forty cents or more.
Speaker 1: Another one is just just make it simple.
Speaker 2: For ten dollars and forty cents, you can get a
Speaker 2: free black truffle burger, black truffle shroom, or black truffle
Speaker 2: parmesan fries. To get the deal code, use the code
Speaker 2: truffle tax at purchase.
Speaker 1: I'm not using that code. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Now, by the way, nothing is free if you you
Speaker 3: have to pay ten dollars and forty cents.
Speaker 4: Well no, no, these are these are breaks because it's
Speaker 4: like tax breaks and discounts for to this isn't.
Speaker 2: Well, how about like a refund like California Pizza Kitchen.
Speaker 2: This is not trying to make me go to CPK.
Speaker 2: If you sign up mark for California Pizza Kitchen.
Speaker 1: Rewards, you got to get a tattoo while you're at it.
Speaker 1: You might as well.
Speaker 3: You'll receive ten dollars off a forty dollars dinner purchase
Speaker 3: or tens or takeout order.
Speaker 1: So you have to spend forty sign up for rewards
Speaker 1: and you'll save ten dollars. Right, So you're just buying
Speaker 1: a thirty dollars meal. That's it.
Speaker 3: That's not including tip. Remember embarrass us with their kindness. Yes,
Speaker 3: and the offer is valid through Thursday.
Speaker 2: The discount refers to the ten forty individual income tax
Speaker 2: for Oh, come on.
Speaker 1: Come on this, corny bs.
Speaker 3: Everybody wants a pound of flesh disguised as a favor
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 2: It gets worse. BJ's restaurantuse. We do a lot of
Speaker 2: business with them. I'll be gentsel today. Customers who use
Speaker 2: the code ten off forty on their dine in or
Speaker 2: takeout purchase of forty dollars can get ten dollars off.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of hoops to jump through this same
Speaker 2: It's very similar. It's very very similar.
Speaker 4: I mean nothing against BJ's restaurant and brew house. I
Speaker 4: love the food, but this is the exact same deal.
Speaker 4: It's the ten forty deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why can't it be like the ten forty easy
Speaker 2: and make it real simple? Do you remember doing it
Speaker 2: easy when you were just a young taxpayer and you're
Speaker 2: learning how to do your taxes?
Speaker 3: I think so, but it always gave me the yips.
Speaker 3: I've never loved anything related to doing taxes. I almost
Speaker 3: had a complete meltdown last night. Seven to eleven customers
Speaker 3: who use the seven now delivery app can get ten
Speaker 3: dollars in forty six.
Speaker 4: Oh wait a minute, Wait a minute, there's a delivery app.
Speaker 4: So they're bringing the crime to you. I said, delivery
Speaker 4: app from seven line.
Speaker 3: I just can't think of getting anything delivered from seven eleven.
Speaker 3: The rat wings customers use who use the seven now
Speaker 3: delivery app can get ten dollars and forty cents off
Speaker 3: any order of twenty dollars or more when they use
Speaker 3: the code right off. When we come back, we have
Speaker 3: a way bow and get this a Robotaxi Amazon update
Speaker 3: and it has to do with la and Japan, maybe
Speaker 3: not in that order.
Speaker 1: That's next.
Speaker 2: I AM six forty. It's Later with mo Kelly. We're
Speaker 2: live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6: Mister Mokelly, he womans so says Aton that must be
Speaker 6: cooms might.
Speaker 1: Be on your ball, moping Tumola comes on Cleaner one
Speaker 1: under control.
Speaker 6: This was Kelly is wrong, but more thinks he's on
Speaker 6: the payroll Coswamo be cut you open run over, run
Speaker 6: over a loss.
Speaker 2: Live everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. In fact,
Speaker 2: I want you to go to YouTube right now. You
Speaker 2: can subscribe at Mister Mokelly, I have a question for
Speaker 2: only those in the chat. I want to know if
Speaker 2: you would or have used an autonomous ride share vehicle.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean just WEAIMO.
Speaker 2: You could have used Cruise or the Amazon Robotaxi, which
Speaker 2: is beginning testing in La as we speak. But let
Speaker 2: me start with Weimo. And some people think this tonning
Speaker 2: tongue in cheeks. Some people think I'm being serious. I'm
Speaker 2: somewhere in between. I am very skeptical of the technology.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that it's ready for prime time. I'm
Speaker 2: of the opinion that we're maybe four or five years away, honestly,
Speaker 2: and we're all test subjects, I would say, test dummies
Speaker 2: really as they try to work out the kinks. So
Speaker 2: if you're in the chat on the YouTube stream at
Speaker 2: mister mo Kelly, first subscribe and then tell Karnesia, who's
Speaker 2: running the chat, whether you would, in fact, let's make
Speaker 2: sure we put up a pole, but find out if
Speaker 2: you would use one of these autonomous ride share vehicles.
Speaker 2: I have not yet, and I'm a slow adopter of
Speaker 2: a lot of technology. It took me a couple of
Speaker 2: years before I got into my first uber. It took
Speaker 2: me a while. I was not like all gung ho
Speaker 2: ab and I'm not gung ho about this. But Waimo
Speaker 2: the latest is Weimo is now going to Tokyo. The
Speaker 2: Jaguar cars that you've probably seen around south of California,
Speaker 2: they're going to use those same cars, same technology, but
Speaker 2: in Tokyo they will be driver operated, at least in
Speaker 2: the beginning, as these waymo vehicles will begin mapping the
Speaker 2: local roads, the infrastructure, and also driving habits of people
Speaker 2: who live in Tokyo.
Speaker 1: In the larger metropolitan area.
Speaker 2: Quote, it's important for us to understand the difference in
Speaker 2: driving environment.
Speaker 1: What makes the driving here unique.
Speaker 2: That's Nicole Gavel, Waymo's head of business development and strategic Partnerships. Also,
Speaker 2: the system is going to use a very small area
Speaker 2: of international roads, though the cars will be manually driven
Speaker 2: with Waymo technology on board. So if you were to
Speaker 2: use a Weimo in Tokyo, at least for the foreseeable future,
Speaker 2: it will have an actual driver.
Speaker 1: Which is kind of weird.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's not really drivers technology if you
Speaker 2: have an actual driver, but it's learning the roads, learning
Speaker 2: the habits of drivers. And for what I read, this
Speaker 2: is how it even started back in San Francisco in
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: San Francisco, two thousand and nine, what is this year?
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five?
Speaker 3: Took them sixteen years to get to this point, not
Speaker 3: ready for prime time, and Tokyo will probably take them
Speaker 3: on another sixteen years. It'll be twenty forty one. Mark
Speaker 3: will be dead from old age. I'll be in a
Speaker 3: home somewhere.
Speaker 4: What is it you don't understand about technology and progress
Speaker 4: and how long and how it takes time people die?
Speaker 1: You know, men who had to die before we got
Speaker 1: to the moon.
Speaker 4: How long were we How long were we dealing with
Speaker 4: analogue before we got to CDs and from CDs to digital.
Speaker 1: You're talking decades, decades, mo decades.
Speaker 2: In other words, you're trying to compare vinyl to cars
Speaker 2: and Waymo to MP three's, except there's not a threat
Speaker 2: of me dying playing an P three.
Speaker 4: If you read the stats in the story, you will
Speaker 4: see that it is actually safer being in a Waymo
Speaker 4: than it is ever being on the roads yourself. You
Speaker 4: know the accents that happened today, You know the accidents
Speaker 4: of that market report are right now on the roads
Speaker 4: out of Waymouth.
Speaker 2: If you have as many Waymos on the road as
Speaker 2: you do just regular drivers, you will see more and
Speaker 2: more accents.
Speaker 4: It's just you will You will not know. You will not,
Speaker 4: You absolutely will not, because you know what. Waymoes don't do.
Speaker 4: Waymos don't pull over to give people ronners. Waymos aren't
Speaker 4: cutting people off and then having to get ronners.
Speaker 1: You know what people do?
Speaker 2: People successfully navigate a damn food drive through.
Speaker 4: You know what, No, no, no, no, I've already proven
Speaker 4: last week they cannot all the drunken misbehaving happening, and
Speaker 4: drive through lines not to mention people who.
Speaker 1: Just don't know what they want to get. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't stop the car from moving.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I have seen people not be able
Speaker 4: to get out of make a turn in a Chick
Speaker 4: fil A drive through.
Speaker 3: Oh and then it shuts down and it shut down
Speaker 3: the whole restaurant way. You know we're not talking about
Speaker 3: that right now.
Speaker 4: You are literally in the flying a flag of falsities
Speaker 4: in the face of progress.
Speaker 2: Amazon's ROBOTAXI yes, it's equivalent. It's getting ready to begin
Speaker 2: testing here in Los Angeles. You heard it here first. Zekes,
Speaker 2: the autonomous driving technology company owned by Amazon. This summer
Speaker 2: they plan to start debuting the technology and this is
Speaker 2: going to be the sixth testing location for Zekes was
Speaker 2: founded in twenty fourteen and acquired by Amazon in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Look at that time time, I don't know, of course.
Speaker 2: I look when I say it's not ready for primetime,
Speaker 2: that means it needs more time. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if this is going to be better than Waimo. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to be inferior to Waimo.
Speaker 2: We know that Elon Musk is probably going to enter
Speaker 2: into the competition as well. For this market share of
Speaker 2: ride share competition is great. I just want to make
Speaker 2: sure that the technology is where it needs to.
Speaker 1: Be, and it probably will be. I just won't be
Speaker 1: alive to see it. Are you're gonna live?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: What are you I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: Every day when I drive through Culver City, they are
Speaker 2: everywhere in Culver City.
Speaker 1: They've mapped.
Speaker 2: It's it's not a day in which I go to
Speaker 2: Cuver City I don't see at least four or five Based.
Speaker 4: On data collected by waim It's, driverless vehicles had eighty
Speaker 4: one percent fewer air bag deployment crashes, seventy eight percent
Speaker 4: fewer injury caused crashes, and sixty two percent fewer police
Speaker 4: reported crashes than traditional vehicles driven by people.
Speaker 2: Do you do you want me to tell you about
Speaker 2: the tobacco industry and the stats that they gave out
Speaker 2: in the ninety seventies about how cigarettes did not cause cancer,
Speaker 2: about false equivalencies.

Speaker 2: I think that whoever's run the I R S now
Speaker 2: have no idea because everyone got fired in the federal government.
Speaker 4: These are without any proof, unfounded claims, and Waymo will sue.

Speaker 3: Oh you weren't paying attention. It was very subtle, very sobtle,
Speaker 3: very quickly.
Speaker 2: Before we end this hour, we talked about how Steffen
Speaker 2: is an Uber driver and a lot of times and
Speaker 2: Twala was a former Uber driver, so we bounced these
Speaker 2: things off him. I am really big into the evolution
Speaker 2: of ride share from a technological standpoint. We talked about Waymo,
Speaker 2: but also just how our economy looks at travel. I'm
Speaker 2: a slow adopter of technology. I was very slow to
Speaker 2: adopt Uber. Now I swear by when I travel. That's
Speaker 2: my I don't think about taxis. I do Uber, not
Speaker 2: even lyft, it's Uber. And then I came across this
Speaker 2: list of the strangest things left in cars by ride
Speaker 2: share writers like me. And there are a bunch of lists.
Speaker 2: We don't have time for all of them, but I
Speaker 2: will see if this one list matches up with anything
Speaker 2: that Stephan has encountered. And these are just ten most
Speaker 2: commonly forgotten items in the car. We'll go without the
Speaker 2: sound effects this time, coming in at number ten. Water
Speaker 2: bottle Stefan oh Man. Yeah, let's look a recycling pin
Speaker 2: after that.
Speaker 1: Okay. Number nine vape or vape pin? Oh? Multiple really
Speaker 1: all the time? And do you keep them? No, you
Speaker 1: don't want to, like just put your mouth on or anything.
Speaker 6: Not.
Speaker 2: Number eight This is kind of disturbing passport. One time
Speaker 2: it did happen. I had to go back because I
Speaker 2: felt bad. Well, yeah, I mean, because that person's not
Speaker 2: going anywhere is the traveling?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Number seven clothing. I would think that would be like
Speaker 2: near the top, but you know, does that include underwear?
Speaker 2: It just has clothing, So I guess yes, I'm.
Speaker 3: Guessing that you get some panties on the back seat
Speaker 3: every now and then no, but I did get bikini
Speaker 3: was left behind.
Speaker 2: Okay, so number six glasses, I thought that would be
Speaker 2: higher on the list.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Number five headphones earbuds now but ear buds okay. Number
Speaker 2: four luggage. Did they leave it in the trunk?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: Someone did leave, like like a satchel, and it had
Speaker 3: a good amount of money in there.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know what was in it. I didn't
Speaker 1: look into it.
Speaker 3: I was a transporter and they called me back and
Speaker 3: I'm like, thank god, this is like the money I
Speaker 3: had to I was going to travel to Europe and
Speaker 3: this is all the money I had in there. And
Speaker 3: I was like, be careful, buddy, you were in a
Speaker 3: mob situation. You just barely escaped with your life. Transporter
Speaker 3: Number three keys, yeah, keys, Number two wallet, Ooh that happened.
Speaker 3: I can remember two times that it happened, just because
Speaker 3: they were so they were so scared that they lost everything. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I would be scared too.
Speaker 2: Imagine trying to replace the physical cards or driver's license,
Speaker 2: any type of student idea or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like now it's switched to the smartphone, but yeah,
Speaker 3: the wallet's still pretty important. And number one obviously this
Speaker 3: doesn't surprise me at all. The actual phone. Yeah, several
Speaker 3: times I have to travel back on Sunday. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: I haven't done that because my phone is an appendage.
Speaker 3: It is always on me same and it's unhealthy, but
Speaker 3: at the same time, it's healthy. When I leave the house,
Speaker 3: if I have my phone, I can get in my house,
Speaker 3: whether I have my keys or not. If I have
Speaker 3: my phone, I have access to my wallet, whether I
Speaker 3: have my physical wallet or not. The phone supersedes everything.
Speaker 3: The phone can get me home.
Speaker 2: Like now you can have certain forms of identification on
Speaker 2: your phone, including credit cards or even gift cards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's kind of fun. It got to a
Speaker 3: point where every Saturday morning or Sunday morning, if I
Speaker 3: woke up to a phone call, I wouldn't even pick
Speaker 3: up the phone. I would just go look in my
Speaker 3: car and see if there's something in the car, and
Speaker 3: sure enough, there be glasses, a wall at a phone,
Speaker 3: and then I go back.
Speaker 1: I took you. I took an uber with you last night.
Speaker 3: I was wondering if you saw my glasses or you
Speaker 3: saw my scar for whatever, and I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: got it, it's here.
Speaker 1: So they still have access to your number. The next day.
Speaker 3: Well it's new, now go ahead, Stefan. Well before they
Speaker 3: had to, they had to. It goes through a secure line,
Speaker 3: so I can't see their number. They and they don't
Speaker 3: see mine. But it goes through and then I can
Speaker 3: hear the voicemail on this and that. Now they have
Speaker 3: to ask permission. Okay, but yeah, there's a way. Now
Speaker 3: you can actually see the driver's number.
Speaker 2: The only reason I know that is because I lost
Speaker 2: some sunglasses and I had to backtrack and I was
Speaker 2: trying to contact the uber driver to see if I
Speaker 2: left it in the In fact, it was the day
Speaker 2: of the Christmas party. I take my car to get
Speaker 2: a nail out of the tire, and then I had
Speaker 2: to take an Uber back over to the iHeartRadio theater
Speaker 2: where they had the whole Christmas thing, and Kayla won
Speaker 2: the TV that was supposed to be mine because I
Speaker 2: gave her the Maraffa tickets. Still mad about that, barely
Speaker 2: got to thank you from her. And she's at the
Speaker 2: station right now. I hope she hears me. She doesn't care.
Speaker 1: I know she doesn't.
