Speaker 4: It's it's trying to take us all. It's it's already
Speaker 4: starting out about as stressful as possible, with at least
Speaker 4: one probable terror attack, maybe two to start. We were
Speaker 4: just a few hours in when the first terror attack
Speaker 4: of the year hits in No La. The latest fifteen
Speaker 4: people dead in that attack, dozens more injured. Somebody drove
Speaker 4: a car through a crowd of people in New Orleans
Speaker 4: three fifteen in the morning. And if there's one town
Speaker 4: that has a lot of stuff going on at three
Speaker 4: fifteen in the morning, it's gonna be New Orleans. So
Speaker 4: what a what a crap start of the year. What
Speaker 4: a crap start. Meanwhile, anything that you guys are planning
Speaker 4: on this year, and I'm not talking about New Year's resolutions,
Speaker 4: just things that you're planning.
Speaker 2: Bet he can do any travel, but are going to
Speaker 2: take in the sites, the sounds, anything of that sort.
Speaker 4: My New Year's resolution was I'm gonna I'm gonna be
Speaker 4: better on the clock. I'm gonna go to the commercial
Speaker 4: breaks when I'm supposed to instead of Foosh having to
Speaker 4: tell me. He's only going to tell me one time
Speaker 4: so far, tonight break, idiot, go to the commercials idiot,
Speaker 4: which I appreciate him doing.
Speaker 2: Ron or anything anything as far as travel, not really
Speaker 2: anything at all. I'll tell you what, I want to
Speaker 2: go to Fasquez Rocks and reenact the scene from Star
Speaker 2: Trek where Kirk throws the rock at the gorn.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do. That's a deep cut.
Speaker 1: Yeah you like that. That's very good, very good. It's concrete,
Speaker 1: it's specific. I even ask you.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's just for real. I'm not making this up. No,
Speaker 2: I know you're not. But that's a what a what
Speaker 2: a weird.
Speaker 4: Let's go to Imperial County and let's comb the sand
Speaker 4: like they did in Star Wars.
Speaker 2: I'm immune to your mockery. This is gonna be cool.
Speaker 2: How about you, Chris. I'm gonna make some maple syrup
Speaker 2: this year. I'm gonna tap a tree. I'm gonna make syrup.
Speaker 2: What do you think about that noise? Yeah, done this
Speaker 2: in the past. Uh, that is it gonna be? Like? Uh?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna brand it it? Uh like Meryl can'f
Speaker 2: I syrup?
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, I mean if they pay me. Yeah, oh okay,
Speaker 4: you five absolutely more tapping it in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Hey, now, very good. Now it's working. We've got a
Speaker 1: well oiled machine. He got the drum kit out.
Speaker 4: That's nice. Yeah, he had put it away for a while.
Speaker 4: Carl Christison like that. It's not gonna need that.
Speaker 2: Meryl. We just oh, tapping it. Very good, very timely,
Speaker 2: my friend, very timely, all over it. Guys are killing me.
Speaker 2: All right? How about bucket list? Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: Freshman philosopher Professor signed this exercise and called it a
Speaker 4: bucket list.
Speaker 2: We're supposed to make a list of all the things
Speaker 2: we wanted to do in our lives before we can
Speaker 2: kick the bucket cute scene. It's pointless. Now, we can
Speaker 2: do this, We should do this, we should do this
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 4: Ever since the bucket list came out, we all know
Speaker 4: what bucket list means. It's just but all bucket list
Speaker 4: is almost taken on a new term. It's not things
Speaker 4: that we feel like we need to do before we die. Now,
Speaker 4: it's just stuff you should try this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's definitely taking a turn.
Speaker 4: It's no longer a bucket list now it's a to
Speaker 4: do list or a give it a shot list. And
Speaker 4: so that's what the La Times put together. They're California
Speaker 4: bucket list, okay, for each month of the year. So
Speaker 4: I guess if a bucket list has things to do
Speaker 4: before you die, if you plan on dying in January,
Speaker 4: you should go witness the magistic elephant sealed breeding season
Speaker 4: at Onyon Nuevo State Park, which is isn't on your.
Speaker 1: Nuevo isn't that New Year State Park. I don't speak Spanish.
Speaker 1: They want you to go and watch elephant seals get
Speaker 1: it on. Yeah, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4: Mark you already said more tapping it in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: I don't want to watch wild animals tap it with
Speaker 2: each other. But you're tapping it, tap of it? Whose
Speaker 2: sider you want?
Speaker 4: That's right, just tap it you you said you want
Speaker 4: to just give it a little little tappy.
Speaker 2: Tattle tap tap tap Taparu.
Speaker 1: Well, if we have to rewind the tape, I want
Speaker 1: Chris Merrill to tap it more in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: Wow, all right, I'll go watch the h I'll go
Speaker 4: watch the animals do it.
Speaker 2: I got a problem that. Uh.
Speaker 4: If you plan on dying in February, according to the
Speaker 4: La Times, you should celebrate the lunar New Year in
Speaker 4: San Francisco and Chinatown.
Speaker 2: So you got that.
Speaker 4: Uh. If you plan on kicking it before taxes are due,
Speaker 4: you could do it in March. You could admire the
Speaker 4: breathtaking wildflower blooms of the ends of Barrego Desert State Park.
Speaker 4: While you're there, you could comb the desert just like
Speaker 4: they did in Star Wars. Uh In April, attend the
Speaker 4: world renown Coachella Valley Music an arts festival in India.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good thing. Coachella. Have you been to Coachella?
Speaker 2: Have you done it? I don't mean like have you
Speaker 2: been to the valley? I mean have you been to
Speaker 2: the festival?
Speaker 5: When while I was in college i went to. I
Speaker 5: was in Riverside, so I was like twenty minutes away
Speaker 5: from it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But I don't know, man, it just seems so over
Speaker 5: hyped because I talked to people like ten years before
Speaker 5: it was like a thing, and they said it was
Speaker 5: like the greatest thing ever. But this was like when
Speaker 5: you paid twenty bucks to get in. Oh yeah, now
Speaker 5: it's like now a ton basically put in a car
Speaker 5: down payment for a car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding. Oh, but you get a three day pass.
Speaker 2: We're just seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: It's a little hyben was it was Coachella the one
Speaker 4: last year where they had all the mud and people
Speaker 4: were stuck and they couldn't get cars out, and they
Speaker 4: couldn't people were walking miles and miles and miles just
Speaker 4: to get out of the was that I think I
Speaker 4: think that was Burning Man. Oh, it's burning all same area.
Speaker 4: They're both like, they're both super hippie music press. So yeah,
Speaker 4: well I think Burning Man is still hippie. But now
Speaker 4: Coachella is like the cool place to be, but especially
Speaker 4: especially because now they have two weekends. So now it's
Speaker 4: the first weekend is like the place you have to
Speaker 4: be there, and the second weekend is for people that
Speaker 4: just want to listen to the music.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all.
Speaker 4: Right, but I can still spend a buttload of money there, right,
Speaker 4: that's the whole thing with absolutely Okay, that's the I'm
Speaker 4: supposed to spend a buttload of money, Yes, all right.
Speaker 4: La Times California bucket list, which we can only assume,
Speaker 4: means if you plan on dying, you should do this,
Speaker 4: because that's what bucket lists are. If you plan on
Speaker 4: dying in May, you should go to the on Spining
Speaker 4: Waterfalls at yo Semite at their peak flow, that is,
Speaker 4: if we get any moisture this winter. If you're going
Speaker 4: to die in June, experience the unique ambiance of the
Speaker 4: Ohi Music Festival. The charming town of O Hi, another
Speaker 4: music festival who wrote the list for the La Times.
Speaker 2: Is this from the the Hippie Desk.
Speaker 1: I think this may be another byproduct of their owner,
Speaker 1: Patrick Soon shan Oh.
Speaker 2: Is that what it is? Yes?
Speaker 4: I didn't get a bias rating on this because this
Speaker 4: feels very lefty to me?
Speaker 2: Does it? Yes?
Speaker 4: This is going way if although Coachella, like you said,
Speaker 4: is no longer, it's a music fest, but it's super commercialized,
Speaker 4: so I don't know, maybe not, Maybe this is all
Speaker 4: part of bringing balance. You go to the super commercial
Speaker 4: music festival and then you go to the the the
Speaker 4: Ohi Music Festival. If you're gonna die in July, you
Speaker 4: should go to the fireworks first.
Speaker 2: Over Lake Tahoe, Okay.
Speaker 4: August, savor the delectable offerings at the Gilroy Garlic Festival,
Speaker 4: a haven for garlic enthusiasts.
Speaker 2: Unless you're a vampire. You don't want to go to
Speaker 2: that if if you're.
Speaker 4: The undead, If September is the month you're deciding that
Speaker 4: you're gonna kick it, immerse yourself in the rich cultural
Speaker 4: heritage at the Los Angeles Olvera Street during the Mexican
Speaker 4: Independence Day festivities for October participate in the half Moon
Speaker 4: Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival celebrating the harvest season. And
Speaker 4: of November, you can observe the grace Full Monarch butterfly
Speaker 4: migration at Natural Bridges State Park and Santa Cruise. Aren't
Speaker 4: the monarchs on the endangered species list now? Or are
Speaker 4: they still considering that?
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep track because it seems like everything's
Speaker 1: head in that direction your regiment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: And then in December, as always, if you haven't been
Speaker 4: to Bubblebo Park in San Diego for their December nights,
Speaker 4: that's pretty cool. So La Times recommends you go to
Speaker 4: do that. So those But that's your twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: I give you twelve things to do. Here's what here's
Speaker 4: what I recommend for your your new Year's resolution, be healthier,
Speaker 4: experience some some things around you. Pick four of the
Speaker 4: twelve and just do four. That's one every third of
Speaker 4: the year, and just do one of those things. Make
Speaker 4: it a date, put it in your put it in
Speaker 4: your hinge profile.
Speaker 2: I don't have any idea. Thank god, I don't have

Speaker 4: your photo is, Foush, so it's supposed to be you
Speaker 4: doing something you enjoy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I well, the first one is a selfie.

Speaker 5: my favorite picture of my hair. I just got it done.
Speaker 5: It was cool. And then the second one is me

Speaker 5: not still not doing anything, but you know, looking cool.
Speaker 2: We got Now, we gotta get you some doing stuff.
Speaker 2: I think so too. You ought to be able to
Speaker 2: parlay you your job into something.
Speaker 4: I got a buddy that's some radio and he's on
Speaker 4: the apps too, and I said, why aren't you He
Speaker 4: hosts a show, and I go, why aren't you telling
Speaker 4: everybody that you're a rock star somebody's because no, I
Speaker 4: don't want to do that. I listen, that's all's fair
Speaker 4: in love and war. You've got to lean into it.
Speaker 5: That's exactly what producer Matt just said. He's like, He's like, dude,
Speaker 5: you should like boast about the fact that you're at iHeart.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I know, but I don't want to
Speaker 4: be like that guy like, hey, have you heard of
Speaker 4: Tim Conway Junior? I know him. Yes, I should do that.
Speaker 4: Maybe pictures. Uh, next time Leto comes in, just go
Speaker 4: see if you can sit in his car and take
Speaker 4: a photo with him.
Speaker 5: Oh my, oh yeah, if I know, if I gotta,
Speaker 5: if I got a picture with him, that would be Yeah,
Speaker 5: that would be the one to put on my profile.
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a real panty dropper, isn't it. Come on?
Speaker 1: I think the two of you are massively overestimating the
Speaker 1: appeal of the stable and lucrative career in radio.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I'm not gonna say, am, why don't you
Speaker 5: just post a photo of yourself on the toilet?
Speaker 2: Foosh? Come on, doing something I love?
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, this is how I like to spend my
Speaker 1: leisure time. Very good, Bring an iPad in with you
Speaker 1: some some snacks.
Speaker 4: Hey, speaking of apps, have you guys been on Twitter lately?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes, it is turned into a real It is just
Speaker 5: like so, it's a war zone. I don't even like
Speaker 5: to go on there. It's a hive of disinformation and hate.
Speaker 5: Which did I miss something?
Speaker 4: No, it's I mean, I'll be kind of doom scrolling
Speaker 4: a little bit, and and then I and I've I've
Speaker 4: found myself using the Instagram reels, which I hate doing
Speaker 4: because it's kind of like TikTok, which just drives me nuts.
Speaker 4: And I you know, I want to see something that
Speaker 4: has a little more depth than somebody doing a goofy
Speaker 4: dance or whatever. But so I'll go on to I'll
Speaker 4: go on to Twitter thinking I can just oh, I'll
Speaker 4: just read somebody's thoughts. But even things that seem innocuous,
Speaker 4: I can't even somebody might post something like, hey, what
Speaker 4: was the best thing that happened to you in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four? And it's just like watching Joe Biden nearly
Speaker 4: die on stage made my day.
Speaker 5: I was saying, oh, yeah, because Trump did this. Yeah,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, you can't even have fun on there anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, it's been especially useful today when we have this
Speaker 1: massive casualty incident in New Orleans and the amount of
Speaker 1: disinformation and just fill on there is overwhelming. And thank
Speaker 1: you Elon for that. Appreciate the yeah, yeah, money well spent.
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand what he's saying about. We should
Speaker 1: have an open forum and people should say what they want.
Speaker 4: But the trouble is is that you have an opportunity
Speaker 4: to raise your clout. In the past, if somebody said
Speaker 4: something that was ludicrous, we they would they wouldn't see
Speaker 4: the light of day, right, we would filter it out.
Speaker 4: If somebody had something to say, that person would start
Speaker 4: to sort of rise to the top. They might become
Speaker 4: an expert. They might end up on a panel if
Speaker 4: they had some knowledge, if they had some some depth
Speaker 4: of thought, if they could articulate things very well, they might,
Speaker 4: you know, rise and then it might be invited onto
Speaker 4: a radio panel or a.
Speaker 2: Television or something of that sort.
Speaker 4: But now it's just everyone has the same voice unless
Speaker 4: they pay their whatever it is, eight dollars a month
Speaker 4: or whatever, and then their voice is amplified and it's
Speaker 4: distributed in the same manner as everyone who actually has
Speaker 4: depth of thought, which is why somebody. Some people are
Speaker 4: going to the other outlets, the Threads and the Blue
Speaker 4: Sky and the two texas from n gadget, the two
Speaker 4: text based platform sharing some of the same goals, none
Speaker 4: of the same tactics for getting there. Meta controlled by
Speaker 4: Mark Zuckerberg, embracing the public conversation, but also encouraging certain
Speaker 4: types of speech over others. They say the company throttling
Speaker 4: political content in an election year, forcing users to tweak
Speaker 4: their settings to enable posts about elections or social topics
Speaker 4: to appear in their for you feed. Okay, so Meta
Speaker 4: is basically saying we don't want all the angst that
Speaker 4: that permeates around these conversations of the left right paradigm.
Speaker 4: So it's very much Meta is going to say this
Speaker 4: is what we want things to look like, and if
Speaker 4: you deviate too far from that, we're going to kind
Speaker 4: of we're gonna tamp.
Speaker 2: Your voice down.
Speaker 4: Blue Sky is more of a user based, user centric,
Speaker 4: decentralized I suppose a platform if you're unfamiliar. Blue Sky
Speaker 4: came out of the scene after Elon musk So bought Twitter,
Speaker 4: So Blue Sky is very decentralized, which also can lead
Speaker 4: to the whole free.
Speaker 2: For all type scenario. Uh and.
Speaker 4: What are they calling it? The it's a less less
Speaker 4: of a top down approach. The company employs some of
Speaker 4: its own moderators to enforce baseline moderation. Users have a
Speaker 4: lot of control over how much questionable or harmful content
Speaker 4: they want to see. Blue Sky also allows people to
Speaker 4: create their own moderation services for an even more custom experience.
Speaker 4: They say moderation is in many ways like governance. According
Speaker 4: to the CEO Ja Graber Grabbert Graber Grabber, g R
Speaker 4: A B E R and setting the norms of a
Speaker 4: social space. We don't think one person or one company
Speaker 4: should be unilaterally to that for an entire ecosystem where
Speaker 4: people are having public conversations.
Speaker 2: Important to the state of the world.
Speaker 4: So basically it's like the free for all that Elon
Speaker 4: Musk says Twitter should be, although they allow you to
Speaker 4: tailor it so you don't have to see everybody's garbage constantly. Ultimately,
Speaker 4: doesn't this all come down to what algorithms are being employed?
Speaker 4: And that's the kicker. It's all about whatever the app is.
Speaker 4: I don't care if it's a dating app. I don't
Speaker 4: care if it's a social media app. I don't care
Speaker 4: if it's your news curation app. It's all about figuring
Speaker 4: out how to manipulate the algorithm. And you know who
Speaker 4: else is trying to figure out how to manipulate the algorithm.
Speaker 4: The content creators, the people posting things are all trying
Speaker 4: to manipulate the algorithm so that you'll click on their
Speaker 4: crap is every click turns into a little.
Speaker 2: Cash hole on their end.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Hopefully twenty twenty five turns in a less of
Speaker 4: assesspool online, but I I do not believe it will,
Speaker 4: which is why I have taken You know how I
Speaker 4: figured out how to manipulate the the algorithms a lot
Speaker 4: of puppy videos. Every time I see something. You know
Speaker 4: who does a good job on this one is uh
Speaker 4: Tim Conway Junior. You post a lot of you know,
Speaker 4: the puppies, the cats and goofy stuff like that. I
Speaker 4: love the videos what's up on there? And I watch
Speaker 4: those and I will hart those and then I get
Speaker 4: more of that stuff and it just makes me feel
Speaker 4: happy inside. I know it's a little Pollyanna like. I know,
Speaker 4: I turned into a bit of a twelve year old
Speaker 4: girl just watching puppies playing. But I got to tell
Speaker 4: you my mental health is so much better than reading
Speaker 4: somebody else talk about how how much they hate something.
Speaker 5: But it's so true because I'll see stuff like that,
Speaker 5: and my thing is cars, so I'll okay, yeah, certain
Speaker 5: models and makes, and once i start harding him commenting that,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, that's much better. That's careering about politics.
Speaker 4: Far more interesting too, frankly, Yeah, especially if it's something
Speaker 4: you're you're actually invested in, you know.
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree. How much are you investing in
Speaker 2: your cars? Oh? You mean your time? Yeah? Yeah, time,
Speaker 2: I don't know money guards.
Speaker 4: Yet again, you gotta start hanging out with Jay and
Speaker 4: it's gonna change your whole life.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4: The law makers, the law breakers in the times that
Speaker 4: there ought to.
Speaker 2: Be a law.
Speaker 4: I like that we're able to touch on the Slow
Speaker 4: jama Stan because Slow Jamastan is in the news. Are
Speaker 4: you familiar with Slow Jamastan. It's a micro nation in California.
Speaker 4: They declared their sovereignty I think like about a year ago,
Speaker 4: and according to a release from the Republic of Slow Jamastan,
Speaker 4: which is not officially recognized by the United States or
Speaker 4: any other nation of people's but it's actually just a
Speaker 4: small community.
Speaker 2: Near Aktiel Wells in San Diego County.
Speaker 4: According to the Republic of Slow Jamastan, they're offering a
Speaker 4: thought that was an ellar rewarded anyone who can help
Speaker 4: bring justice to a group of fathers and their children
Speaker 4: who apparently burglarized and vandalized the property. KTLA reporting on this,
Speaker 4: they put out the video as well. Video of the
Speaker 4: surveillance footage. Slow jama Stan released it, posted it to YouTube.
Speaker 4: Timestamp says it was December fourteenth, about an hour two
Speaker 4: men three children seen and heard moving about the property's
Speaker 4: border gate. So basically they bought a bunch of land
Speaker 4: and they said, we are sovereign and it's Slow Jamastan.
Speaker 4: It's a wonderfully creative little play of nonsense going on there,
Speaker 4: and I love it. They ran around the property, talked
Speaker 4: about vandalizing and burglarizing the property, and then they started
Speaker 4: spray painting things.
Speaker 2: So somebody got on one of those cameras. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's like a ring.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a real link, real link cameras, so similar
Speaker 4: to the ring cameras. Real Link is a different company,
Speaker 4: and so they said, hey, you're on camera, dopes, and
Speaker 4: when they when the camera started talking to them, they
Speaker 4: went oh oh. The group appeared to get nervous, except
Speaker 4: for one of the children who remarked, if I'm being
Speaker 4: recorded that I'm saying suck bro in another young voice
Speaker 4: saying we need to break in. Okay, we need to
Speaker 4: break in.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. So then they were trying to figure
Speaker 2: out what was going.
Speaker 4: On, and so they stepped out a frame and then
Speaker 4: one of the guys said, hey, man, it's fake.
Speaker 2: It's just fake.
Speaker 4: So if you don't it is even it's probably motion detected.
Speaker 4: So if you don't move, it'll just shut off.
Speaker 2: Okay, dopes.
Speaker 4: So anyway, I guess these guys, I guess these guys
Speaker 4: got worried that they're gonna get caught, and they were like, hey, man,
Speaker 4: you're gonna You're freaking out my kids and all this
Speaker 4: other stuff. So then they started spray painting things. They
Speaker 4: started spray painting, uh, we declare war. And then they
Speaker 4: encourage people to visit surfing ruined mylife dot com. Surfing
Speaker 4: ruined my life dot com. Uh so if you search
Speaker 4: for surfing Ruined my Life the website. You are then
Speaker 4: directed to an online store called my Daddy Makes Art,
Speaker 4: which sells clothes. Let's say, oh you got it, didn't you?
Speaker 4: You got the joke my Daddy makes Art It's closed
Speaker 4: that say MDM A yeah MDMA and rainbow littering. There's
Speaker 4: an Instagram page as well for surfing ruined Mylife dot
Speaker 4: com that has in their bio we declare war on
Speaker 4: Slow jama Stan. So, if not for the fact that
Speaker 4: there is actual vandalism going on here, I kind of
Speaker 4: love that Slow jama Stan is facing a threat from
Speaker 4: an out outside non nation as well, But I don't
Speaker 4: like the fact that there's vandalism. I certainly don't like
Speaker 4: the fact that we have guys taking their kids out
Speaker 4: to commit vandalism. The Sultan of Slow Jamistan put a
Speaker 4: statement out to Ktla and fit I love this whole story.
Speaker 4: It's not the damage that upsets us as much as
Speaker 4: that there's a guy bringing his young kids to join
Speaker 4: in on the crime. Even the kids are saying, Dad,
Speaker 4: it's not a good idea. Yet the reckless adult male
Speaker 4: coerces the children to break the law. You feel the
Speaker 4: worst for the kids in the situation. We hope he
Speaker 4: has caught and someone can intervene before it's too late
Speaker 4: for those poor kids. They deserve better. I agree wholeheartedly.
Speaker 4: I don't really care for any of the any of
Speaker 4: the vandalism that goes on. You know what, maybe we
Speaker 4: just send her a clear message find out who this was,
Speaker 4: which shouldn't be too hard because you're just gonna go
Speaker 4: to the MDMA clothing website. My daddy makes sorry, and
Speaker 4: then you're gonna be able to track that and figure
Speaker 4: out who it was. I get the feeling that this
Speaker 4: investigation should not take too long and then arrest the children,
Speaker 4: take the children away, punish the children, punish them hard.
Speaker 4: That's how you send the message. Punishing dads doesn't do
Speaker 4: any good here. You got to send a message. You've
Speaker 4: got to be clear on that message, and that message
Speaker 4: is we will not tolerate crime. We will definitely punish
Speaker 4: your children harder. So you want to get things done,
Speaker 4: you got to threaten the kids. Speaking of crime, I
Speaker 4: love this. We had we had a little bit of
Speaker 4: an issue with a CHP CHP stop the rolls Royce
Speaker 4: and what they found inside.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody could have guessed.
Speaker 4: In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and say you did
Speaker 4: not have this on your bingo card. That's the new
Speaker 4: cool phrase people keep saying on TikTok, not on your
Speaker 4: bingo card.
Speaker 2: Here we go from ABC seven.
Speaker 7: What started with a traffic stop ended with a CHP
Speaker 7: officer holding a baby spider monkey. The officer pulled over
Speaker 7: a Rolls Royce for speeding the Maderrek County north of Fresno.
Speaker 7: Inside the car, the officer found bags of marijuana and
Speaker 7: a monkey.
Speaker 2: That's pretty great, believe to be just one month old.
Speaker 7: The driver was booked on suspicion of dui possession of
Speaker 7: cannabis and for sale, and the illegal possession of an
Speaker 7: exotic animal. The monkey and innocent victim in all this
Speaker 7: has been turned over to animal control.
Speaker 2: What's gonna happen to the spider monkey?
Speaker 4: Does the baby spider monkey go to a spider monkey
Speaker 4: zoo or do they try to set it free? What
Speaker 4: do they do with the spider monkey? Does it go
Speaker 4: to one of those sheriff's auctions.
Speaker 2: That'd be pretty cool. I get a license so I
Speaker 2: could have a pet spider monkey. Man, I'm down.
Speaker 4: Also, when was the last time you heard the phrase
Speaker 4: spider monkey. Didn't they say that in a Will Ferrell movie.
Speaker 4: Wasn't that the like Talladega Knights or something where they
Speaker 4: mentioned spider monkeys. I'm gonna come at you like a
Speaker 4: spider monkey. Otherwise, nobody talks about spider monkeys anymore, which
Speaker 4: is a real tragedy, probably the most underappreciated of the
Speaker 4: fun animals.
Speaker 2: That are out there.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you fight the law and then the law wins.
Speaker 4: Tell you what the law makers are doing with that
Speaker 4: as the law one.
Speaker 6: Next, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
Speaker 6: from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 4: Good News, The Long National Nightmary's Aubern mo Kelly returns
Speaker 4: tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: Guys, ever, do any little home projects? Mark? You a
Speaker 2: handy guy?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 4: Uh, the kind of guy that just my I believe
Speaker 4: that I should change this outlet, not the least bit
Speaker 4: if somebody held a gun to my head. I couldn't
Speaker 4: do any of that. I don't do that, Huh, none
Speaker 4: of it. What do you do if you have if
Speaker 4: you've got something like, let's say that your sink is.
Speaker 1: Leaking, what do you do? I call a sink leak specialist?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, and I pay that person to fix the leak.
Speaker 4: All right, that makes sense. Do you ever use a
Speaker 4: handyman or do you just call it? You call a plumber.
Speaker 4: If it's a sink, I'm calling a plumber.
Speaker 1: If it's whoever yelp recommends, that's uh oh okay. I'm
Speaker 1: very good with the yelp, very handy with yelp.
Speaker 2: That's good. Yes, that's good.
Speaker 4: So I make the mistake of trying to do it
Speaker 4: myself first, and then once up about three hundred dollars
Speaker 4: in and it's worse, then I call somebody else.
Speaker 2: A true story.
Speaker 4: A friend of mine says, I got a small link
Speaker 4: leak in my sink and I said, oh, I can
Speaker 4: take care of that. And he says, yeah, it's coming
Speaker 4: from down below. And I said, that's easy. We can
Speaker 4: take care of that. We just have to replace this
Speaker 4: and that, And I knew what I was talking about.
Speaker 4: The problem is I got there and I started working
Speaker 4: on it, and when I got done, he had a
Speaker 4: big leak, and then he had to call somebody else
Speaker 4: and another buddy that This was years ago. He says, Man,
Speaker 4: I need new breaks on my on my old truck.
Speaker 4: We were early in radio and radio didn't pay a
Speaker 4: whole lot, especially when you're starting out. So he says,
Speaker 4: I need new breaks and I said, but I think
Speaker 4: we can do this. This is before the days of YouTube,
Speaker 4: so we couldn't just YouTube it. So we we were
Speaker 4: looking up the old Chiltren's manuals, you know, or the
Speaker 4: Hanes manuals, I guess, and so we spent the seventeen
Speaker 4: dollars in the Haynes manual for his old Bronco and
Speaker 4: we were like, well, let's fix the brakes. And so
Speaker 4: we went and we spent six hundred dollars on the
Speaker 4: brakes and the tools and everything else that we would need.
Speaker 2: And we got done.
Speaker 4: We put it all back together and he drove off
Speaker 4: and there was this big clacking sound you drive it
Speaker 4: down the runway, clack clack clack, and he said, man,
Speaker 4: he says, we worked too hard on this. I don't
Speaker 4: know what it is, but I'm going to take it
Speaker 4: to a mechanic six hundred dollars more. Later we found
Speaker 4: out we put we put a bushing on backwards.
Speaker 2: Oops. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So the point is is that I love to take
Speaker 4: on projects. I'm just bad at them, and which is
Speaker 4: why probably if you have any doubt at all, you
Speaker 4: should call somebody else first. Good news. In California. You
Speaker 4: can now hire a handyman without a contractor license for
Speaker 4: anything that's under one thousand dollars. It used to be
Speaker 4: only five hundred dollars. I didn't realize that handyman weren't
Speaker 4: allowed to do anything that was more than five hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: A thousand dollars seems low to me. You can cook
Speaker 4: through one thousand dollars very very quickly. But the new
Speaker 4: law goes into effect. Now, this is one of the
Speaker 4: new California laws goes into effect. And if you're like
Speaker 4: me and you say, you know what I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 4: going to replace my I'm going to replace the lights
Speaker 4: in my kitchen with LEDs. Here's another one that I did.
Speaker 4: And I found these LEDs, but they were the wrong size.
Speaker 4: So I just had to cut the ceiling out to
Speaker 4: put the new led can lights in. So I did that,
Speaker 4: and you could definitely tell where I cut the ceiling out.
Speaker 4: From that point forward, it didn't It didn't look terrible
Speaker 4: because it was above your head and nobody noticed. But
Speaker 4: for the most part, I give it a go. But
Speaker 4: it never turns out quite one hundred percent. You realize
Speaker 4: that that project, I replaced six lights in my kitchen.
Speaker 4: They were just they were can lights, you know, recessed
Speaker 4: lighting is what they would call this, and I replaced those.
Speaker 4: You realize that if I'd have paid somebody to do that,
Speaker 4: I think I don't because you.
Speaker 2: Did have to. There was ceiling cutting and a little
Speaker 2: bit of rewiring.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's an exaggerations that say it probably
Speaker 4: would have been twelve to fifteen.
Speaker 2: Hundred dollars to have somebody else come in and do it.
Speaker 4: By the time you're into the parts, the labor, the painting,
Speaker 4: the taping, the texturing, everything else, you had.
Speaker 2: To do about fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: You can cruise through one thousand dollars with a handyman
Speaker 4: really really fast. If a handyman is doing a job
Speaker 4: that's worth more than one thousand dollars, if they provide
Speaker 4: a bid greater than one thousand dollars screed to the
Speaker 4: new law performing work requiring a permit, or employing any workers,
Speaker 4: that person is subject to legal action. Penalties for unlicensed
Speaker 4: contracting include administrative finds up to fifteen thousand dollars jail
Speaker 4: sentenceive up to six months, and fines who up to
Speaker 4: five thousand dollars. Repeat offenders end up with a ninety
Speaker 4: day jail sentence. So this is obviously put into place
Speaker 4: to stop those fly by night scammy roofers. You know
Speaker 4: those guys. We'll have you all have a storm come through.
Speaker 4: You've heard these stories before, Right, storm comes through, tears
Speaker 4: up somebody's shingles, and they hire some some fly by
Speaker 4: night guy that goes, hey, I can take care of
Speaker 4: that for you, and then they stiff on, or they
Speaker 4: do a crap job whatever else. It is, right, This
Speaker 4: is obviously meant to try to stop those people. I
Speaker 4: think it actually just limits people like Mark who would
Speaker 4: be smart and call somebody in the first place if
Speaker 4: their review is on Yelp, or me who has to
Speaker 4: call somebody to come fix the mice screw up. Because
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, one thousand dollars you can shoot through.
Speaker 2: That in no time. I love the idea of threatening
Speaker 2: handymen with prison, because if you have, if you have,
Speaker 2: the neighborhood app about fifty percent of the content. For
Speaker 2: first of all, one half of the content is complaints
Speaker 2: about homeless people. The other few, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1: The other fifty percent is complaints about handyman who screw
Speaker 1: people over and who don't finish the job. Oh, do
Speaker 1: a terrible job. So yeah, throw them in the Gray
Speaker 1: Bar hotel. Yeah, throw them in. Yeah, just put them
Speaker 1: in it. Send them to the big house if they
Speaker 1: screw up.
Speaker 4: But those are the people that are I mean, those
Speaker 4: are the shady contractors that need to be busted down anyway.
Speaker 4: If you're just a regular, you know, if you're a
Speaker 4: handyman in Fontana and you're just trying to scrape by
Speaker 4: doing what you do, well, you work with your hands.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling you one thousand dollars jobs. There is
Speaker 2: a way around this.
Speaker 4: I believe, and I genuinely believe what you do if
Speaker 4: you're a handyman you're trying to get around this law
Speaker 4: is that you break a project into multiple small projects.
Speaker 4: So let's suppose that I told you I replaced the
Speaker 4: lights in my kitchen.
Speaker 2: I believe there were five or six lights.
Speaker 4: There was a like a four inch can that was
Speaker 4: in there, and I was putting a six inch can in.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you know what I'm talking about when I
Speaker 1: say it can? Is that clear enough? For I'm resisting
Speaker 1: every impulse. I have to make it into some some
Speaker 1: thing filthy. Yes, I understand what you're saying. Okay, just
Speaker 1: having to do one can a month.
Speaker 4: All he has to do is say, yeah, uh uh,
Speaker 4: light fix your replacement, uh said, three hundred dollars, you know,
Speaker 4: and then light repliction, Light fix your replacement. Number two,
Speaker 4: three hundred dollars, number three, three hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It feels like there's an easy way around this thing
Speaker 4: by just simply filling out.
Speaker 2: Multiple work orders. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it could be like banks where
Speaker 1: they monitor if you have a deposit that's too big
Speaker 1: or or a suspicious series of deposits. I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody is doing any kind of oversight on this, so
Speaker 1: you could you could probably skirt the rules on this
Speaker 1: if you, if you had a will to.
Speaker 4: It would have to be because somebody is complaining about you,
Speaker 4: wouldn't it like this? This feels like an enhancement law,
Speaker 4: so that if somebody's complaining, uh, not just on next door,
Speaker 4: but on whatever else, if they actually file a complaint,
Speaker 4: then it feels like, Okay, you're a shady contractor and
Speaker 4: here's the law that you broke. We wrote this law
Speaker 4: out so that we could bust somebody for doing it. Otherwise,
Speaker 4: you're right, who's gonna because if you write me an
Speaker 4: estimate for fifteen hundred dollars, I'm not ratting you out.
Speaker 2: Especially if you a job areddit page about the job
Speaker 2: you did, then maybe you're in trouble. Yeah, that would
Speaker 2: be it. Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: Well that's one of the new laws going into effect
Speaker 4: here in the coming year, so look for that. I
Speaker 4: I just think it's one of those laws again that
Speaker 4: that is going to affect.
Speaker 2: So few people.
Speaker 4: It doesn't seem like I don't know, I just feel
Speaker 4: like that number should be closer to twenty or twenty
Speaker 4: five hundred. But I suppose that the way around it
Speaker 4: is so incredibly simple that the only way you're gonna
Speaker 4: get busted is if you if you really upset the homeowner.
Speaker 2: There's no business like show business.
Speaker 4: We'll tell you who's in trouble for their New Year's
Speaker 4: Eve celebrations.
