Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Of course it's tech Thursday, so that means Marcia Calier
Speaker 2: joins us.
Speaker 3: Marsha, how you doing this evening?
Speaker 4: I'm just doing great, you know. And Mo, I have
Speaker 4: to tell you your listeners are so loyal. I actually
Speaker 4: got fan mail after last week's show.
Speaker 2: Look, there's nothing wrong with that fan mail, hate mail.
Speaker 2: As long as they keep on listening, that's all I want.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: You remember earlier this week, I want to say it
Speaker 2: was Monday, at the beginning of the week, you had
Speaker 2: that huge Verizon outage. Customers across the US reported problems
Speaker 2: accessing the company's wireless network. I assume it was a
Speaker 2: hack or data breach of some sort.
Speaker 3: Look, we can always speculate.
Speaker 4: But what do we know. There's a problem with that.
Speaker 4: It's a real problem. Tens of thousands of people in
Speaker 4: the area. I mean from Chicago, Indianapolis, all the way
Speaker 4: down to Phoenix, Nebraska, Omaha, they did not have service.
Speaker 4: These are the people who need service. And sos appeared
Speaker 4: in the status bars of iPhones if the device is
Speaker 4: not connected to a cellular network, So and supposedly it
Speaker 4: can still make calls, but no, not on the Verizon network.
Speaker 4: I think this points out that we need an alternate
Speaker 4: mode of talking to people of getting help.
Speaker 2: What about the idea of like an emergency backup system
Speaker 2: which is used for situations just like this, where it
Speaker 2: may not accommodate anything as far as Internet, but it
Speaker 2: will accommodate people making calls for the purpose of an emergency.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a thing week as Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 4: This is disaster. This is a complete disaster. One of
Speaker 4: the things that I do, and it's important to me,
Speaker 4: is I keep an older phone. I have it connected
Speaker 4: to Wi Fi and I can text. I can make
Speaker 4: calls through WhatsApp, which is an excellent, excellent app, or
Speaker 4: Google Voice. What do you use any alternates?
Speaker 2: Yes, I use Google Voice, and like you, I have
Speaker 2: backup phones plural that hook up to any Wi Fi.
Speaker 2: And for those who don't know, text messages take up
Speaker 2: less bandwidth. It's easier for those to slip through in
Speaker 2: an emergency situation. Remember we discussed this last week about
Speaker 2: what to do if you're stranded in some remote area. Well,
Speaker 2: people are now stranded in their own houses seemingly.
Speaker 4: Have you ever been in a hurricane?
Speaker 2: No, that's why I live in California. I actually talked
Speaker 2: about that on the show last Friday. I said, you know,
Speaker 2: with great respect to the people who are dealing with
Speaker 2: the hurricane. Part of the reason why I never moved
Speaker 2: from California is there are certain things I did want
Speaker 2: to deal with. I did want to deal with in
Speaker 2: clement weather. I did not want to deal with tornadoes.
Speaker 2: I did not want to deal with hurricanes. Yes, earthquakes
Speaker 2: are a great unknown, but fewer people dying them comparatively
Speaker 2: speaking than any other natural emergency.
Speaker 4: I mean, I felt so horrible for the people. Their
Speaker 4: houses were in sticks. Literally, Yes, it was horrible. I
Speaker 4: grew up on Miami Beach, so I know a lot
Speaker 4: about hurricanes, and all of Miami Beach would flood. I
Speaker 4: worked at the Miami Herald, and it would be flooded
Speaker 4: up to three blocks away from the newspaper. And when
Speaker 4: your car gave up the ghost, it couldn't drive any deeper.
Speaker 4: You would just get out of your car, slog through
Speaker 4: the wet and in the lobby of the Miami Herald,
Speaker 4: John Knight had a setup with screens in the whole
Speaker 4: thing and extra pressman's jumpsuits so you'd get to change
Speaker 4: clothes when you got to work. It was and we
Speaker 4: were the lucky ones because newspapers have to come out
Speaker 4: every day, right, But everywhere else. I also remember flooding
Speaker 4: in my neighborhood, and when the eye of the hurricane
Speaker 4: went over, the streets were filled with flopping fish, and
Speaker 4: of course people were coming outside with the frying pans
Speaker 4: getting well.
Speaker 2: I was always aware of the fact that alligators are
Speaker 2: everywhere in Florida, and when you have that massive flooding,
Speaker 2: that means the alligators are going everywhere as well, so
Speaker 2: the water can be very dangerous.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but you know, I never saw an alligator
Speaker 4: in Miami Beach, But then that that's Miami Beach.
Speaker 3: It's kind of we.
Speaker 4: Don't let alligators on Miami Beach. There are a cross
Speaker 4: on the city side in the lagoons. But you know,
Speaker 4: this is a terrifying thing. And the thing is the
Speaker 4: news always whoops it up worse than it could possibly
Speaker 4: be and totally terrifies people.
Speaker 2: The only problem with that is, with all due respect,
Speaker 2: we also know they can be very dangerous after the hurricane.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and they can't prepare for having their house blown over, right,
Speaker 4: they can't prepare for their roof being blown off and
Speaker 4: the entire house saturated with rainstorm. I've known people who's
Speaker 4: had to replace carpeting and god knows what in their house.
Speaker 4: It's a horrible thing. But earthquakes, we kind of get
Speaker 4: a little beep on the phone.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, a whole three seconds of notice. But going
Speaker 2: back to the story, this highlights how important and essential
Speaker 2: our phone communication can be for moments just like these.
Speaker 4: Well, I think most importantly is, like you said, have
Speaker 4: a backup. Absolutely, have a backup. I mean in our
Speaker 4: emergency kit with the earthquake, because I had such a
Speaker 4: horrible time in the north Ridge earthquake. I even have
Speaker 4: a radio where you can broadcast. So you have to
Speaker 4: have these things. We need to make our homes emergency safe.
Speaker 2: We just have to going back to the Verizon down
Speaker 2: period and again we'll get more information, I'm sure, regardless
Speaker 2: of whatever the first report is, we'll get more information
Speaker 2: in the coming weeks about what happened, why, how extensive.
Speaker 2: But my question to you, Marcia Carlier, is does this
Speaker 2: signify that our infrastructure is exceptionally vulnerable and fragile or
Speaker 2: is it something else?
Speaker 4: Well, just think about our electricity. I mean, honestly, not
Speaker 4: DWP and Los Angeles, but the other one further north
Speaker 4: of us. They've been having outages on and off and
Speaker 4: on and off. That's not just fragile, that's a fail.
Speaker 4: And for how many years have we been paying taxes
Speaker 4: to rebuild our infrastructure? I mean it always says that,
Speaker 4: you know and like our problems with the schools. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: a lot of used to feed the schools. Uh huh
Speaker 4: where does all that money go?
Speaker 3: Oh you're waiting for me to answer, because I couldn't
Speaker 3: tell you.
Speaker 2: All I know is that more money has been pumped
Speaker 2: in and less output and less reliability in.
Speaker 4: Response, which is why we as citizens need to be
Speaker 4: unfortunately more responsible for our own safety, just like buying
Speaker 4: new tires on a car.
Speaker 2: The takeaway is make sure you have backup devices, you
Speaker 2: have your emergency kits, that you are prepared for any
Speaker 2: eventuality as best you can, because you don't know when
Speaker 2: disaster might strike, even if they tell you that it's
Speaker 2: coming in the form of a hurricane or some sort
Speaker 2: of major storm in the next week. When we come back,
Speaker 2: let's get into this merger of Direct TV and Dish.
Speaker 2: When this story broke also earlier this week, it blew
Speaker 2: my mind because once again.
Speaker 3: You think that you have a choice, but you really don't.
Speaker 2: It's all, Yeah, I have Dish TV, so and so,
Speaker 2: now you have direct TV as well. Yeah, it's Later
Speaker 2: with Mo Kelly, CAFI AM six forty live everywhere on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Mo Kelly and Marshall Callier. We're both
Speaker 2: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And you know by
Speaker 2: now a huge, huge telecom deal came down DirecTV Dish,
Speaker 2: I would say, two of the preeminent cable providers in
Speaker 2: the country are now coming together to form one super
Speaker 2: telecommunications company. What it means for you, what it means
Speaker 2: for me, It remains to be seen because even if
Speaker 2: you have a streaming platform, most likely they are a
Speaker 2: subsidiary of one of these cable giants. Marshall Callier, when
Speaker 2: the news came down for you and you saw it
Speaker 2: back on Monday, what first came to mind?
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I have Dish. I like Dish,
Speaker 4: the only reason I keep Dish is because their technology
Speaker 4: is really good, believe it or not. But more and
Speaker 4: more people, you know, we have broken the cable and
Speaker 4: we have a lot of over the air content at
Speaker 4: our house. But this is something that is a big
Speaker 4: deal because remember DirecTV is owned by EchoStar. Now, EchoStar
Speaker 4: is worth a lot of money, and they have thirty
Speaker 4: billion dollars in wireless spectrum investments, and then that means
Speaker 4: they went at one time to an FCC auction. The
Speaker 4: Federal Communication System auctions off segments of the spectrum for
Speaker 4: people to use so you could start your own phone company.
Speaker 4: They own that. So I'm seeing maybe EchoStar will be
Speaker 4: the new wireless carrier for a lot of people, or
Speaker 4: maybe they'll specialize in something. But if you think about
Speaker 4: a lot of the other networks, Comcast only has thirteen
Speaker 4: point two million video subscribers, that's not a lot. You know,
Speaker 4: DirecTV has about eleven million, so and Dish TV has
Speaker 4: eight point one million. The only thing is it's subject
Speaker 4: to the government's passing this, and I don't see why
Speaker 4: they wouldn't because I think everybody deserves it. Direct TV
Speaker 4: and Dish also are including Sling TV that's me in
Speaker 4: the there you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You know, yes, Sling originally is a division of Dish,
Speaker 2: and so I was wondering we were going to be
Speaker 2: folded in.
Speaker 3: So yes, we are bingo.
Speaker 4: Now, supposedly this is going to happen in the second
Speaker 4: half of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Here's the question, and most likely the deal will go through.
Speaker 2: But we do know the federal government, at least this
Speaker 2: administration has been more strict than others when it comes
Speaker 2: to at least perceived antitrust monopoly mergers. They've broken up
Speaker 2: a few, they've prevented a few. So I'm not going
Speaker 2: to say that there's a foregone conclusion.
Speaker 3: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: You were saying, though, well, these are the only satellite providers.
Speaker 4: I think that's the difference. Now you've got Starlink. If
Speaker 4: Ellan ever decided to bounce TV off of Starlink, which
Speaker 4: would seem to be a natural progression, eventually agreed, he
Speaker 4: could wipe everybody out. But you have cable. You know,
Speaker 4: your frontier, your spectrum, all that, and cable is great
Speaker 4: and reliable, but so is satellite, and satellite really is
Speaker 4: the future. I mean even airlines now are switching to
Speaker 4: Wi Fi from satellites versus ye whatever it is. They're
Speaker 4: bouncing to the land and the whole thing. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I think this is important and I think they will
Speaker 4: pass it or they'll just let it hang and let
Speaker 4: the next administration do it. I mean, that's you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know how to play political games, but I
Speaker 4: think that's how they're played.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a calculation that's being made because if the
Speaker 2: deal's not supposed to be consummated until early twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: we will have a new president, a new administration, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure and sure, but it's still I mean, even
Speaker 2: if Kamala Harris wins, it's still a different administration, so
Speaker 2: it still figures into the calculations of when they want
Speaker 2: to finish this deal exactly.
Speaker 4: And I think everybody will benefit from it because it
Speaker 4: will make it a stronger network. And like I said,
Speaker 4: dishes technology, I love it. The one thing I love
Speaker 4: about Dish technology is I can stop a show in
Speaker 4: one room, pick it up in another room of the
Speaker 4: house the DVR. But then again, I have DVR from
Speaker 4: Tableau which works with a little antenna in the window,
Speaker 4: and I can get local news and things like that.
Speaker 4: And that's another thing we have to consider. We were
Speaker 4: talking about preparedness before. Maybe having those antennas that only
Speaker 4: cost about ten bucks and an inexpensive system that will
Speaker 4: allow you to get over the air programs. You'll be
Speaker 4: able to get your local news in an emergency when
Speaker 4: cable or satellite go down.
Speaker 2: Not including kf I AM six forty one of those
Speaker 2: very important outlets for breaking news during an emergency.
Speaker 3: So you know, just have to.
Speaker 4: Fill I actually have. I am sounding like such a
Speaker 4: crazy person. I actually have one of those radios that
Speaker 4: you can crank to church and the battery.
Speaker 3: AI do I am so old school?
Speaker 4: Yes, well that isn't old school. That is, when there's
Speaker 4: no electricity. We also have a giant Goal zero battery,
Speaker 4: a giant one that when we did have a power outage,
Speaker 4: has rolled out the refrigerator, plugged it into the Goal
Speaker 4: zero and we would have had power for three days
Speaker 4: for just the refrigerator.
Speaker 3: Well, we still have a generator. We'll probably upgrade to
Speaker 3: a battery soon. Well.
Speaker 4: The cool thing about the battery thing is we have
Speaker 4: solar panels that you can plug into it and put
Speaker 4: outside and it'll charge while it's discharging. So in other words,
Speaker 4: you can charge something and charge it at the same time.
Speaker 4: I love technology, especially if it helps people and we're
Speaker 4: given the right to use it at a reasonable price.
Speaker 4: Because our electric grid, we're talking about everything here on
Speaker 4: the electric grid. Look around you.
Speaker 2: Well, if our infrastructure is not where it needs to
Speaker 2: be the next five years or so, we're going to
Speaker 2: have a bunch more problems that we're not ready for.
Speaker 4: Oh well, we're busy with a whole lot of other
Speaker 4: problems that we're not going to go to politics. But
Speaker 4: it seems to me that's not at the top.
Speaker 3: Of the list. Ructure never is, Unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Marsha, I got a run, and I know you're probably
Speaker 2: going to be doing some traveling sometime soon.
Speaker 3: But hopefully we'll be able to do this again in person.
Speaker 4: I will be over in England and I will download
Speaker 4: all the apps that I can't download here. I'm bringing
Speaker 4: three funds and updating apps and we'll talk more about
Speaker 4: the differences between the EU and the US when I
Speaker 4: get back.
Speaker 3: Look forward to it.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: KFI AM sixty into the later with Mo Kelly, and
Speaker 2: we're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Kfi's own Heather
Speaker 2: Brooker is not only a news anchor for the station,
Speaker 2: she's a resident nerd like the rest of us here
Speaker 2: on the show. So much so that this weekend she's
Speaker 2: serving as our official nerd correspondent covering La Comic Con,
Speaker 2: which returns this weekend to the La Convention Center.
Speaker 3: And with that, Heather take it away.
Speaker 5: He La Comic Con returns to the La Convention Center
Speaker 5: in downtown LA this weekend and if you're a fan
Speaker 5: of characters, comics, or cosplay, then this is the event
Speaker 5: for you. Joining me now to talk about the star
Speaker 5: setate event this weekend is La Comic Con CEO Chris
Speaker 5: de Mulin. I am absolutely thrilled to talk to you
Speaker 5: this year because you have some huge stars coming to
Speaker 5: La Comic this year.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you know, every year when we finished
Speaker 6: the show, we always do a survey of the fans
Speaker 6: and say, you know, who haven't we brought in yet
Speaker 6: that you'd love to see?
Speaker 7: And there are a couple of names that we're always in.
Speaker 6: That top five, and Ewan and Hayden Christiansend and Michael J.
Speaker 3: Fox.
Speaker 7: We're always in that top five, and this just.
Speaker 6: Happened to be a year where we, you know, reached
Speaker 6: out really early to Ewan's agent and he was free
Speaker 6: and we booked him. And we were talking to Hayden's
Speaker 6: agent about somebody else and he said, hey, I heard
Speaker 6: that you guys got you and you know Hayden could
Speaker 6: be free that weekend. We're like, yeah, absolutely, and then
Speaker 6: we the Michael J. Fox thing worked out in a
Speaker 6: similar way. And then when Christopher Lloyd came in for that,
Speaker 6: we had been talking to Christina reach she separately.
Speaker 7: In one of our meetings.
Speaker 6: Somebody said, oh, wouldn't it be fun if we get
Speaker 6: Angelica Houston to come and do an Adam's family reunion?
Speaker 7: And she doesn't really.
Speaker 6: Do cons, but we reached out to her agent, and
Speaker 6: because she's local, she's like, sure, that sounds like fun.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about some of the big panels and reunions
Speaker 5: that people can look forward to seeing.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I think I think the Adams Family
Speaker 6: one will be super fun and big and unexpected and
Speaker 6: the kind of thing that you know you may never
Speaker 6: see anywhere else again. Just because you know, Angelica is
Speaker 6: not a frequent condoor, although who knows, she may love
Speaker 6: it decide that she wants to join the circuit.
Speaker 7: But I also think, you.
Speaker 6: Know, we love, as you said, leaning sort of leaning
Speaker 6: into the Star Wars thing, having you and Emily Swallow
Speaker 6: for Obi Wan, having gian Carlo and Paul to do Mandalorian,
Speaker 6: and then kind of the what I think of as
Speaker 6: the old fashioned La Comic Con kind of pedalt like
Speaker 6: the voice cast of Avatar and the voice cast of
Speaker 6: New X Men ninety seven.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about what you guys are doing for the
Speaker 5: gamers this year. My daughter loves video games. She jokingly
Speaker 5: calls herself a gamer at the ripe old age of
Speaker 5: eleven years old. What can your video gamers expect to
Speaker 5: experience this year?
Speaker 6: Well, your daughter will be thrilled because you know, in
Speaker 6: the in the gaming hall on Saturday from one till
Speaker 6: six is the finals of a Fortnite tournament that's for
Speaker 6: female gamers only. It's being sponsored by Gonna Need Milk.
Speaker 6: It's called the Milk Cup, and it has a two
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty thousand dollars prize pool. And it was
Speaker 6: really driven by their realization that forty six percent of
Speaker 6: all self described gamers like your daughter are women, but
Speaker 6: only two percent of the top earners in the industry
Speaker 6: were women, and so as a way to sort of
Speaker 6: try and redress that balance, they decided to do a
Speaker 6: series of competitions that were only for female gamers and
Speaker 6: sort of increase the profile and the spotlight of that.
Speaker 6: And they chose us to be the location for the final,
Speaker 6: which was in person.
Speaker 7: The early rounds were online.
Speaker 6: So that would be really fun because ninety nine of
Speaker 6: the best female gamers in the world, many of whom
Speaker 6: are closer in age to your daughter than than.
Speaker 7: To any of us.
Speaker 6: You know, we'll be fighting it out for five hours
Speaker 6: across three rounds to accumulate the points to win.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 5: You know, one of our favorite things to do every
Speaker 5: year when we go is we love to watch all
Speaker 5: of the cosplay. We love to see people dressed up,
Speaker 5: really embracing their fandom. And I think it's so special
Speaker 5: that we have this wonderful event here in Los Angeles,
Speaker 5: the entertainment capital of the world, where people get to
Speaker 5: really invest in their cosplay, in their costumes. Tell me
Speaker 5: a little bit about what kind of what kind of
Speaker 5: things the cosplay community can expl this year.
Speaker 6: We're just a great place to come in your costplay
Speaker 6: and have a good time. I think a lot of
Speaker 6: the families that come it's a great opportunity for their
Speaker 6: kids to this year get their Halloween costumes early and
Speaker 6: come out and have some fun in them. We of
Speaker 6: course have the Costplay National Championships that are Saturday night,
Speaker 6: and this is the I think the eighth or ninth
Speaker 6: year in a row that we've done that. That price
Speaker 6: pools up to thirty thousand dollars, so it's one of
Speaker 6: the biggest costplay prize pools and we have people coming
Speaker 6: from all over the world that have competed in the
Speaker 6: earlier rounds and are now coming in.
Speaker 7: For the semifinals and finals live at the show.
Speaker 6: We always have a Kids Costplay contest on Sunday, which
Speaker 6: is you know, it's a little more fun for the
Speaker 6: kids to come and costume and you know, for a
Speaker 6: couple of hundred gets a chance to get up.
Speaker 7: On stage and wave a mom and dad and get
Speaker 7: the picture taken.
Speaker 6: So I think, you know, about a third, We think
Speaker 6: between thirty and thirty five percent of the people who
Speaker 6: come to our show come in some version of cosplay.
Speaker 5: And now, of course it wouldn't be Comic Con without
Speaker 5: the artists and the writers who create the comic books.
Speaker 5: And you're going to have over a thousand artists and
Speaker 5: vendors there.
Speaker 4: Tell me a little bit about that we do.
Speaker 7: I mean, we have the largest artist alley this year
Speaker 7: we've ever had. It's almost six hundred artists. It's so
Speaker 7: big that we split it.
Speaker 6: We're gonna have a big artist alliy in South Hall,
Speaker 6: but we're gonna have another one hundred and one hundred
Speaker 6: and fifty artists that are in West Hall.
Speaker 7: And we've tried to work.
Speaker 6: With the artists to get those artists whose art style
Speaker 6: and sort of taste is a little more anime and game,
Speaker 6: you know, graphic driven, so we can get those artists
Speaker 6: over in that hall and the general artists over here.
Speaker 7: The engine of this town is creation.
Speaker 6: It's the creators, and so whether we're celebrating them in
Speaker 6: Artist's Alley, we're celebrating them in the in the mix,
Speaker 6: which is where the young developers are, or in some
Speaker 6: of the panels that we have because you know, we
Speaker 6: have the main stage panels, but we have another one
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty one hundred and sixty panels with all
Speaker 6: sorts of creators that are you know, happening upstairs in
Speaker 6: the panel rooms during the course of the whole weekend.
Speaker 6: So it's really important to us because that reflects what
Speaker 6: LA is.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 6: We're a creative town, were and we're kind of the
Speaker 6: ultimate mashup of creativity across every genre gaming and streaming
Speaker 6: and TV and movies and music, and so we want
Speaker 6: to make sure that there's a you know, an avenue
Speaker 6: for those folks to come and express their creativity.
Speaker 5: Okay, so are there any tickets left? Can we still go?
Speaker 3: Is it too late?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 7: I want to just say there are always tickets left.
Speaker 3: We cannot wait to go.
Speaker 5: It's such a great event for the whole family and
Speaker 5: especially people who are into pop culture and this fandom.
Speaker 5: So Krista Mulin, thank you so much as always for
Speaker 5: your time and congrats on another exciting and successful LA
Speaker 5: Comic Con.
Speaker 6: Well, thank you, Heather, It's always a pleasure to see
Speaker 6: you ticket.
Speaker 3: Thank you for that, Heather.
Speaker 2: It's later with Mo Kelly on the other side of
Speaker 2: the break will remind you of the most exclusive, the
Speaker 2: coolest and spookiest party in the history of KFI which

Speaker 2: or you've hit me on threads at mister Mokelly. You've
Speaker 2: wondered like, Hey, mo, I'm hearing about this party, but
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing it anywhere online. I went to the
Speaker 2: KFIM six forty dot com website, didn't see anything there,
Speaker 2: didn't see anything on your social media.
Speaker 3: What's going on? And I said, that's correct.
Speaker 2: You are not going to find out about this party online,
Speaker 2: not not yet at least, because it is for our
Speaker 2: people's twala Am I wrong?
Speaker 3: Is it just for us or is it just for us?

Speaker 2: You've probably seen it online and we did not have
Speaker 2: a lot to give away prior to this moment, but
Speaker 2: we will have plenty to give away to you because
Speaker 2: you are our family.
Speaker 3: You are special listeners.
Speaker 2: You have rolled with us since the beginning, and we
Speaker 2: want to make sure that this is made available for
Speaker 2: the people who have been most supportive over these almost
Speaker 2: two years.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Now you may hear about this from other people, but
Speaker 2: the only way you're going to get to go to
Speaker 2: this party is to keep on listening and participating in
Speaker 2: some game show that we should do every seas and
Speaker 2: good week here.
Speaker 3: Should we have a theme tomorrow Tawala? What do you think?
Speaker 8: You know? It's it's the beginnings of October. This is
Speaker 8: a Halloween themed party. Costumes galore. Maybe we should set
Speaker 8: it off with some type of Halloween theme for tomorrow night.
Speaker 3: I think that would be a great idea.
Speaker 2: So those who listen to Later with Mo Kelly every
Speaker 2: single week know exactly what we're talking about, when we're
Speaker 2: talking about it, and why we are talking about it.
Speaker 2: So if you need any more hints than shame on you.
Speaker 2: The theme will be Halloween movies tomorrow at the appointed time,
Speaker 2: And that's the only way you're gonna get in this party.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: We've had people who work at the station that's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you guys are throwing a party. I even heard from
Speaker 2: the folk reporter yesterday and he didn't know, and he
Speaker 2: went wild when I told him about it, because this
Speaker 2: is going to be the hottest ticket in town because
Speaker 2: you can't get it anywhere. You can't get it everywhere.
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I'm excited, and I already know what
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna be.
Speaker 3: I know that I'm gonna be at the party. Look,
Speaker 3: you've already got your You've already got your theme together.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I'm deciding between one or two things.
Speaker 8: See, I'm really really digging into my mental Halloween recesses
Speaker 8: to think of something so original, so stellar that every
Speaker 8: single person walking into our exclusive pre Halloween kickoff is
Speaker 8: just floored.
Speaker 2: And I know they're gonna be some mad people because
Speaker 2: they're gonna say, wait a minute, I've always liked you, Mo,
Speaker 2: but you got to keep listening consistently. Well, I've listened
Speaker 2: to you since the mo Kelly show.
Speaker 3: That's nice. We appreciate that, don't get me wrong. We
Speaker 3: love all the support.
Speaker 2: But this is all about Later with mo Kelly, the
Speaker 2: people who've been listening to us, the people who have
Speaker 2: been actively supporting us on social.
Speaker 3: Media, who join in every single.
Speaker 2: Let's say Friday night to play a game or something
Speaker 2: like that. It's specifically for those individuals. So do not
Speaker 2: look for this at KFIAM six forty dot com. Do
Speaker 2: not look for this on maybe my social media at
Speaker 2: mister mo'kelly. Do not look for this on the show
Speaker 2: social media at Later with mo Kelly because you will
Speaker 2: not find anything. You will just have to listen and
Speaker 2: trust that I'm telling you the truth right now, because
Speaker 2: there's not going to be any type of external validation
Speaker 2: or confirmation or affirmation that this spooky party is going
Speaker 2: to happen on October thirtieth at the Honda Studios here
Speaker 2: at iHeartMedia.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna find it anywhere.
Speaker 2: You just could have to know because I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: because Tuwalla's telling you. And if you should happen to
Speaker 2: run into Mark Ronner, he's looking to be strange. Yes, Mark,
Speaker 2: you can tell people too, Stefan. He may tell you,
Speaker 2: but it has to come from someone who's actually connected
Speaker 2: to the show because we haven't really even divulged this
Speaker 2: to all the other on air staff here. I haven't
Speaker 2: had a chance to talk about it with Bill. He
Speaker 2: may want to come. Oh wow, you know, I haven't
Speaker 2: talked to Gary and Shannon, but they've heard about it.
Speaker 2: They may want to come. Tim Conway Jr. He knows
Speaker 2: about it. He'll probably come because he always supports us
Speaker 2: in anything that we do. John Cobel, he'll probably know
Speaker 2: about it. That's all I can say.
Speaker 3: But it's going to be a time.
Speaker 2: He's going to be a grand old time, and it's
Speaker 2: on you to make sure that you're part of the festivities.
Speaker 2: We will make announcements as confirmations come in about who
Speaker 2: else is going to be in the house, but a
Speaker 2: lot of it we're going to hold back because it
Speaker 2: is a surprise, it is exclud and we want people
Speaker 2: who come here to know that they are entering a
Speaker 2: very very special place that they're going to find out
Speaker 2: things before other people do.
Speaker 3: And it's and you know what, I don't know, Tawala.
Speaker 3: Should we live stream this?
Speaker 2: Should we give everyone the opportunity or only for the
Speaker 2: people in the house and just make everyone mad and say, see,
Speaker 2: you should have been there.
Speaker 8: You know what, I'm not mad at the idea of
Speaker 8: the concept of live streaming because of all the constules,
Speaker 8: because of all the people dressed up, And I think
Speaker 8: everyone listening needs to be able to see how fly
Speaker 8: this is.
Speaker 3: So that way they know next year when we do
Speaker 3: it again, they know for sure they better join in.
Speaker 2: Well, you may not want to miss the first one,
Speaker 2: because nothing's like the first time.
Speaker 3: So that's all we can say.
Speaker 2: You have been forewarned, and now you have been prepared
Speaker 2: to get ready for next month's pre Halloween soire courtesy
Speaker 2: of Later with Mokelly at the Honda Studios. Here at iHeartMedia,
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be in the little studio where you
Speaker 2: see on.
