WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.360 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 2 00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.080 KFI AM six forty Again. 3 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.599 Let me send out some congratulations to Mark Ronner for 4 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.720 doing a wonderful job sitting in for me and Tiffany 5 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.120 Hobbs as well sitting in for me on. 6 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.559 Friday and Monday. We were out. 7 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.440 When I say we, Twallett and I, my family, and 8 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.760 Twilette also brought along his son. We were on Royal 9 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.199 Caribbean Cruise to Ensenada, Mexico's a short three day cruise, 10 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.320 but it was the first one that Twalla Sharp had 11 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.359 ever been on in his life. For me, it was 12 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.399 my sixth cruise overall, and over the years you've probably 13 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.840 heard me. I've talked about it with Tim Conway Junior, 14 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.799 and talked about it with other people in Just in 15 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.200 the Office Deborah Mark of John COBALT's show. She is 16 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.039 a big cruiser and oftentimes we get the question like 17 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.640 why do you like to This doesn't seem fun? What's 18 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.359 the big deal? Well, I'm going to step back now, 19 00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.799 and Twilla Sharp is someone who was all the way 20 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.120 against cruises the idea, went on his first cruise, and 21 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.319 I'm gonna let him give his unfiltered remarks take it Away. 22 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:13.400 Twelve after you sharing stories of your five now six cruises, 23 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.239 I had always thought you were absolutely insane. The idea 24 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.799 of being out on that which I fear the most, deep, 25 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.239 dark water, the very idea of going out on a 26 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.920 cruise was petrifying. But then when you extended an invitation 27 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.439 for me and my son to join you, I talked 28 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.959 to my son about and I said, hey, not only 29 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.719 has Moe invited us to join his family on his cruise, 30 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:43.799 but his boys really want you to come. And my 31 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:45.799 son was through the roof. He was like, we gotta go, 32 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.280 We got to go. And seeing the look on his face, 33 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.359 I was like, I cannot deny this father and son 34 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.680 bonding moment. I wasn't even sure we were still going 35 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.719 to go until I purchased the tickets. 36 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.760 I sent you that message I said, we're in. 37 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.359 Fast forward to the night before we got off the 38 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.479 air that Thursday, and I was so nervous about going. 39 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.639 I didn't sleep. Really, I did not sleep. I didn't. 40 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.960 I got off the air here, I went to go 41 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.159 pick him up, and I did not go to sleep. 42 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.879 I went got to the house. I'm staring in my closet, 43 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.599 going over what to bring, what not to bring. I 44 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.080 swear when I talked to you and Lamu here in 45 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.599 the morning about just just pack what you're going to pack, 46 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:31.439 don't sweat it. 47 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.159 Bring what you feel you need to bring. 48 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.560 Up until that point, I was uptight about even packing 49 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.560 I did. I couldn't even relax about packing. Put everything 50 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.919 in the car. We're driving to the to the pier 51 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.360 in San Pedro, and I've got butterflies. It was almost 52 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.840 like I was going up on the roller coaster. Even 53 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.159 made the mistake of going over that damn bridge, which 54 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.639 is terrifying, the wrong way Thomas Bridge. It made the 55 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.240 wrong turn, went over the bridge, came back whatever. Up 56 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.080 until walking on the gang plank to get on that boat, 57 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.360 I swear my knees were almost shaking. And then we 58 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:11.560 got on the boat and it was beautiful. The Royal 59 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:17.400 Caribbean International Navigator of the Seas is a beautiful ship. 60 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.960 And I'm standing there with my bags and I'm like, okay, 61 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.960 you know what, we have to get to the room. 62 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.280 We go into the room and I'm like, this room 63 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:26.960 is beautiful. 64 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.319 What is this? The lot of times when it was 65 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.639 happening right now, this is beautiful. Your stateroom. Did you 66 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.680 have a was it an interior cabin? Did you have 67 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:36.240 a balcony? 68 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.560 We had window, porthole window and huge, I mean like 69 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.639 this window was hugh mongous and with just the site 70 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.719 out over the water. Even still, we're at the dock 71 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.159 and I'm like, I'm so nervous. Whatever, we put our 72 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.199 bags away, contact you we come out. You're like, hey, 73 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:54.719 I'll meet you over at the room. Had a nice 74 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.439 little welcome pack to get on the cruise. And even still, 75 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.639 the whole time, I'm like, okay, who let me go 76 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.719 get some coffee. Let me do something to relax, because 77 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.479 it's like we had all plans to go up and 78 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.360 attend the kickoff party. And as soon as we were 79 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.000 all set, my son was like, okay, we're good, We're 80 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.479 straight okay, and you and Lamuhir said, the boys are 81 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:16.120 waiting for you. 82 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:17.800 This the room they're at. He was gone. 83 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.839 He was like, okay, gool peot. My son was gone. 84 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.839 He went to go look for your boys. And that's 85 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.680 the last time I saw him that day. I think 86 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.839 I went back to the room to take a nap, 87 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.759 and I did, and by the time I woke up. 88 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.959 It was around five thirty, went to sleep, maybe around 89 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.199 one something, woke up five thirty, missed the kickoff, and 90 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.360 I woke up and the first message I saw was 91 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.639 from you, and you said you are out to see 92 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.519 now yep. And I opened up the window and we 93 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.560 were out in the middle of nowhere. Like I'll open 94 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.759 up the blinds and looked out the window and we 95 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.680 were out in the middle of nowhere. And I said, 96 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.399 oh my god, I'm out to see. I left the 97 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.319 room and I started walking around, just kind of exploring. 98 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.639 And this ship is so damn big. I wanted to 99 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.319 do everything. I wanted to see everything. I wanted to 100 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.439 touch everything, just walking around, and I was hesitant to 101 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.680 even get on the elevator. And even though this ship 102 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.920 is like twelve thirteen stories high, you know I'm saying. 103 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.560 I took the stairs all the way up to the 104 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.920 top and tried to look at what's happening. Called flor 105 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.879 Oh decks, okay, the decks, Yeah, to see look. I 106 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.600 got to give my sea legs. You know, I'm not 107 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:34.199 six cruises in, so my first the decks and got 108 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.680 to the top. I went to find something to eat, 109 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.720 and I think that's the first time I saw you 110 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.519 when like after waking up, and we went over to 111 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.959 that nacho bar where it's just I'm like, so you 112 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.560 just go and get food and like, yeah, whatever. 113 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.480 For people don't know when you get on the ship. 114 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.959 Just about any food you see when I say it's free, 115 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.279 it's included as much as you want, wherever you want, 116 00:05:58.680 --> 00:05:59.480 whenever you want. 117 00:05:59.639 --> 00:05:59.920 Yes. 118 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.959 And I went and I made myself a gigantic player 119 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.639 notchos and I'm kind of like holding the plate like okay, 120 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.319 are they gonna charge me this? And You're like, all right, 121 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.439 go sing out And I'm like, what is happening right now? 122 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:13.959 And I just say And there are people already in 123 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.279 the pool, there are people watching movies, the Steel band 124 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.079 is playing, and I am at home and I started 125 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.480 when I finally went to dinner, I started getting a 126 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.079 little bit seasick. And it's a weird sensation where all 127 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.199 of a sudden, I felt like my head was swimming 128 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.920 the florest movement for everything, and I'm like, okay, I'm 129 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.680 about I had to hold on to the table and 130 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.879 fortunately I had in my pocket some driving being that 131 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.480 I got from Lindsay producer. 132 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:41.720 Lindsay had hooked it up. 133 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.360 Yes, without that, I probably would have been hurling to 134 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.839 pop a couple of those. Within an hour, I was fine. 135 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.720 And I'm telling you, looking out over the water at 136 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.079 night the most comforting thought. And this is weird, but 137 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.160 this is what gave me comfort, actually is looking out 138 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.199 and I kind of walked towards the edge and look down. 139 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.399 And when you look down over that edge, so this 140 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.079 waist high railing, it's straight down. You go over that edge, 141 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.600 you're in that water. And I'm telling you this, you're 142 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.759 gone if you if you fall off the edge of 143 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.720 that boat and into that ocean, it is an icy death. 144 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.360 There's no finding you, there's no swimming keeping a float. 145 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.120 So someone comes you're dead. And something about the thought 146 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.279 of going into that and that just being the end. 147 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.959 I said to myself, well, now I know how I 148 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.279 would die. I'm actually more comfortable now. 149 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.240 And that's a great way to start off your vacation. 150 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.399 No, no, And but after that, I sat in one 151 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.560 of those deck chairs and just listened to the ocean 152 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.920 just crashing along the boat and just theh of the boat, 153 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.680 and I fell asleep and I was like, this is 154 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:44.439 pure bliss. 155 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.600 Okay, So first day was pure bliss. Second day is 156 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.800 the day at sea, so you have run of the ship. 157 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.439 You get a chance to really experiencing sea things, enjoy things. 158 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:55.560 What stood out to you. 159 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.879 The first thing that stood out to me is how 160 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.519 much there was to do. And it's interesting because after 161 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.959 hearing about all the cruise ships you've been on and 162 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.959 all the things you've always told me about being on 163 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.560 boats and how you don't feel it and just it's 164 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.160 just it's a moving city and things like that. It's 165 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.399 not enough to hear about it. You have to experience 166 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.680 it and after it kind of like waking up and 167 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:29.079 walking around. It's literally Las Vegas, just at sea. I 168 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.759 stopped by the casino. I went by and saw a 169 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.960 little bit of one of the shows. There is an 170 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:38.440 actual shopping mall in the boat. There's a sports bar. 171 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.279 I saw women getting their hair done at the dry bar. 172 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.600 I mean it. 173 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.360 The first day is almost overwhelming to the census, because 174 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.360 there's too much to see. I tried my best to 175 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.759 pace myself, and after all, my legs got really really 176 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.279 tired from running up and down the decks. And then 177 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.440 ifroinally said, you know what, night, I'm tired. I gotta 178 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.480 go to lay down again. My son still wasn't back 179 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.240 on the where he was. He was out with your 180 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.679 boys doing Lord knows what. 181 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:05.600 Uh. 182 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.879 And I went and I laid down. I went to sleep, 183 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.519 and I think when I woke up the next morning, 184 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.519 you know, I saw him in the room and he 185 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.080 was knocked out with his clothes and I'm like, oh, 186 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:13.759 you got a night. 187 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.240 Let's postive when we come back. I want you to 188 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.840 tell us more about your first experience, the things that 189 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:19.480 surprised you. 190 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.960 For me, it's old hat. For you, it was all new. 191 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.279 So I'm still curious because I've only heard bits and 192 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.120 pieces of this of your first cruise thanks to Royal 193 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.759 Caribbean on Navigator of the Seas. This is the Later 194 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.159 with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty live everywhere in 195 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.240 the iHeartRadio app. 196 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.159 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 197 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.000 KFI AM six forty. 198 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.519 Because we continue to hear from Tawalla Sharp, producer of 199 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:46.440 the show, and his first experience with cruising. Last second, 200 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.799 we heard about day one. Now day two is the 201 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.000 is the day at sea? What is happening for you 202 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.759 at that point? Day two I. 203 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.279 Felt I really got my sea legs, and it was 204 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.679 time for me to slow down and really really explore 205 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.480 this sh and I really did sit and take in 206 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.720 some shows. I took in a little bit of the 207 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:10.039 Broadway show that they had show Girls a dance experience 208 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.360 or history of Showgirls on browing. You know, Okay, this 209 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.840 is interesting to watch. It was just fun to watch 210 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.879 these shows. I went to go and watch karaoke. I 211 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.279 watched a little bit of the Bingo because it was 212 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.360 just so interesting to see what people do at these shows. 213 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.039 I caught the comedy show, which I thought was hilarious. 214 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.000 I was like, this is a really good show. I 215 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.919 went and just kind of just also walked around and 216 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.679 tried food. I mean, it is so addicting to just eat, 217 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.039 to just stop at a place and just grab something. 218 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.679 Foods everywhere everywhere, just drink stations, food stations. 219 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:46.519 It is. 220 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:51.360 You can easily easily lose control of your waistline on 221 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.320 a cruise, no doubt. 222 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.360 Because the food is delicious. 223 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.320 I went and I sat on the second day, when 224 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.360 I got it in my head that you don't have to 225 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.919 rush through anything to eat here, I went and I 226 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.200 sat down and admittedly, okay, as bad as this may sound. 227 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:12.120 I went upstairs to the wind Jammer and I wasted food. 228 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.159 Wind Jammer is a place where if you're not going 229 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.960 to formal dining you can go. It's a it's a 230 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.840 buffet which is open most of the day. But they 231 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.519 have a lot of different cuisines on any given day, and. 232 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.799 There's restaurants for altar. There is a steak, meat and 233 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.440 potatoes restaurants, there's a seafood restaurant. There's I think a 234 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.080 restaurant that served all like a Latin cuisine. I'm like, 235 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.120 how many different restaurants can you have on one boat. 236 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.399 It was ridiculous, a French cafe, all types of things happening. 237 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.960 But the wind Jammer is where I wanted to go 238 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.519 and just try different things. And I just sat down 239 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.200 with plates in front of me and just let me 240 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.240 nibble on this. This looks really good. I'm gonna taste 241 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:50.600 this too. 242 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.080 You can take as much as you want. You can 243 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.039 take as much as you want back with you to 244 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.320 your stateroom. Yes, you can for later snacks or whatever. 245 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.080 I saw people carrying it, just plates upon plates, stacked 246 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.279 upon each other, back to their rooms. But I think 247 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.080 Day two was a day where I really took my 248 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:12.399 time to really explore the ship, and as much time 249 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.960 as I explored and walked around and kind of just 250 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.720 looked at what was happening in different rooms. There was 251 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.120 a jazz performance happening, and there's there's jazz bands and 252 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:26.360 just live bands playing at different sections all over the 253 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.639 ship and none of this, and it's like you can 254 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.879 be on one end ship there's a live band playing 255 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.399 and just like you know, I don't know, block away 256 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.000 on the ship there's a piano bar and none of 257 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.120 the sounds are bleeding into each other. The ship is 258 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.960 so well crafted. On every floor there is a level 259 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.559 of entertainment and I didn't even see it. I never 260 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.240 saw the ice skating rink. I didn't see the ice 261 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.759 skating that or the miniature golfing. I didn't see the 262 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.759 miniature golfing. I did go upstairs and I caught our 263 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.679 boys playing dodgeball, which is interesting. There's a rock wall 264 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.080 of three on read basketball court which doubles as the 265 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.879 dodgeball court, the water slide, which is incredible. There is 266 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:10.000 actually a children's play area with an arcade and even 267 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.759 a daycare if you have younger kids. And I just 268 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.840 went around just to look at this, like, oh, and 269 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.919 the Spa, I just say, can I come in? I 270 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.360 just want to see what it kind of looks like 271 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.480 in there. The Spa is literally like a four star Spa, 272 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.720 five star the Spa. I said myself, next time, and 273 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:27.080 there will be a next time. 274 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:27.720 That's the thing. 275 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.720 You gotta go once to know what you want to do. 276 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.559 You can do everything, you can do nothing, but you 277 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:32.720 have to have a reference point. 278 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.919 Yes, yes, because now I know the things that like, 279 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.159 I may not need the Wi Fi package next time 280 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.679 I go on a cruise because there's no need for 281 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.960 you to be on your device. There's too much happening 282 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.000 on the cruise. I think I was documenting more than probably. 283 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.679 Looking back, I'm like, next time, I'm putting my phone, 284 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.759 just leave it in the room and enjoying the cruise. 285 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.000 So much to do, and you know what's really trists 286 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.480 me out. I never saw the front of the boat. 287 00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:59.919 Like my son was telling me all these places you made. 288 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.399 He was like like no, and he says that you 289 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.960 never made it to the bow, You never made it 290 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.519 to the nightclub. Did you ever go to the thirteenth floor. 291 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.879 I'm like, no, no, no, I didn't see these things 292 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.799 because I was so stuck in the middle and aft 293 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:14.039 of the boat. 294 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.639 There's too much to do. Well. 295 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.559 I was lucky enough to be able to sit down 296 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.639 and at least watch the USC football game that they 297 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:23.320 actually won in the sports bar, because you know, that 298 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.399 was something I was making sure that they were going 299 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.679 to be showing that game. Those are the things that 300 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.120 I wanted to do. I don't need to go to 301 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.879 the Spa. There are a lot of things there I 302 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:32.639 don't need to do. I don't need to do minister 303 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.799 golf whatever. And I don't go to the nightclub anymore 304 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.399 because it's for the younger folks, for the rest bar, right. 305 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.000 But the other stuff that I want to do, I 306 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.759 enjoy doing. Let's do this one more segment twelve, because 307 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.919 I want to get your final thoughts on the totality 308 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.360 of the experience and what you would do it again. 309 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.279 Would you do the whole thing again? Would you recommend 310 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:49.960 it to someone else? 311 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:50.679 Absolutely? 312 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.960 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 313 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:56.879 KFI AM six forty. 314 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.120 Mo Kelly Live Everywhere, the iHeartRadio app. 315 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:04.399 As we talk more about Tuala Sharp's first experience with 316 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.879 a cruise. He and I were on Royal Caribbean's Navigator 317 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.519 of the Seas for a three day cruise over the 318 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.960 Labor Day weekend, and I just wanted to get out 319 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.600 of the way to get Tuala's sense of the experience. 320 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.639 He was a hater going in. We somehow convinced him 321 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.960 to get on, and now we get to find out 322 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.159 who he is on the other side. Is this something you 323 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.840 would do again? What's the totality of your experience, Twalla? 324 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.600 I have to admit I'm hooked. I am hooked. I 325 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:43.919 cannot wait to go on another cruise. This was the 326 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:49.320 most amazing experience. I absolutely see why you and your 327 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.559 family go on cruises every year. This is something that 328 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.840 I think as a must for everyone to do. If 329 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:01.360 you have any fears about being on the ocean, fears 330 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:05.200 of being on boats, any of that. Take it from 331 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:10.159 someone who was you just you know a week ago, 332 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.360 all right, This past weekend forever changed me. There is 333 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:20.600 nothing more tranquil and relaxing and just beautiful than being 334 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.279 out on the open seas. I love it, And now 335 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.360 I can see why you would go on different cruises, 336 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.399 because now I'm like, this is a perfect starter cruise. 337 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.279 Now I'm like, I think I need long I think 338 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.120 I need seven days. I want to be able to 339 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.799 go on a cruise and stop at different ports. Because 340 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.159 on this trip, I didn't get off the boat because 341 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.320 you know, I've been to various places in Mexico and 342 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.759 I'm like, I didn't feel the need to get off 343 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.879 the boat and just kind of go shopping or whatever. 344 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.799 In Insanita, I was like, Okay, I didn't need to 345 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.799 do that. I was already tired from walking around as 346 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.039 it was, so it was just like, that's not something 347 00:16:59.320 --> 00:16:59.960 I want to do. 348 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.559 I wanted to experience being on the boat. But now 349 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:08.319 I'm like, Alaska's calling, you know, the Mediterranean Cruise is calling, 350 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.960 you know, a crew to the Bahamas or Jamaica or 351 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.359 someone like that. I need to go Hawaii. All of 352 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.279 these places are calling me because I can. And here's 353 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.720 the thing. I don't like flying. I'm not big on flying, 354 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.160 and it to me, it's the whole experience going to 355 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.759 the airport, the hustle and bustle of getting through you know, 356 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.759 TSA and just flying period. 357 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:31.799 I'm not with it. 358 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.440 Too many wax stories about people going crazy on the flight. 359 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:36.960 I'm like, you I body slam someone on a flight. 360 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.640 I'm not going through all that, but to go all 361 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.920 of these places being on a cruise and be able 362 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:46.799 to sample different cities or different countries at different stops, Oh, 363 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.880 I cannot wait. I am looking forward, seriously looking forward 364 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:52.759 to my next cruise. 365 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.759 Mark, you're next. We're gonna get you on a ship. 366 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.680 It's never gonna happen. 367 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.720 But I gotta tell you that the sheer excess that 368 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.400 you're describing as a little fascinating to me, because boy, 369 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.000 does that sound about as American as anything I've ever heard. Oh, 370 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.640 where you're at you say there's a hockey rink or 371 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:09.480 an ice skating. 372 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.400 Rink, ice skating rink, Yes, and then it doubles as 373 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:13.759 a theater later in the evening. 374 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.519 Wow, And you're actually telling me, Tuala that the stand 375 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.039 up comedian even on the cruise was quality. 376 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:21.480 Yeah. 377 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.119 Yeah, I laughed throughout the show. And it could just 378 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.519 be just the euphoria of being on the boat. Maybe 379 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.359 they were pumping, you know, some type of nitrous oxide 380 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.359 into the air, but I was laughing the whole time. 381 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.119 Now, there's some details that you haven't really gotten to yet, 382 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.799 and I need to know if you had any hookups 383 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:38.640 while you were out at sea. 384 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.160 No, no, no, no, no no. And here's the thing. 385 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.559 I can see how people hook up it. See, I 386 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.920 definitely can see it because it's very hook upable. Okay, 387 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:50.599 there's a lot of action, a. 388 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.839 Lot of space and opportunities. 389 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.079 A lot of space, a lot of opportunities, a lot 390 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.519 of folks hanging at the bar looking to be chose 391 00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.519 what stopped you? Because I wasn't there for that, and 392 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:01.880 I'm that's not where I'm at mentally. I'm not in, 393 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.920 you know, super hook a mode.
