Speaker 1: It's later with mo Kelly. How's your Monday been going?
Speaker 1: Hopefully pretty well? Is it a holiday? I know it
Speaker 1: was Mother's Day yesterday, but it felt like a holiday.
Speaker 1: I got on the freeway, it wasn't too crowded. My
Speaker 1: commute was not too long. I got into the garage
Speaker 1: and it wasn't too a fill that. I'm thinking, like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, maybe the joke.
Speaker 2: Is on me.
Speaker 1: Did someone send out a memo and I didn't get it.
Speaker 3: I pulled in it was everywhere to park. Usually there's
Speaker 3: nowhere to park. Today there was everywhere to park. I
Speaker 3: had no problem getting to the office. It's almost like
Speaker 3: somebody knows something I do not.
Speaker 4: Here we are back on a Monday, Mark Ronald, good evening, sir.
Speaker 4: How was your weekend? You know it was.
Speaker 1: It was way too short, but I got a chance
Speaker 1: to take in a movie or two. I went to
Speaker 1: a special screening of Karate Kid Legends.
Speaker 4: I may tell you about that later. Uh huh huh.
Speaker 5: You know, I I was ruminating about that after we
Speaker 5: had just a couple of texts. I'm just kind of
Speaker 5: over that. I have had all the nostalgia from that
Speaker 5: that I require, and.
Speaker 1: I think too much of a good thing. Maybe at
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, you might be right, that's all I'll say.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you might be right. I hope this
Speaker 1: is being recorded. We're starting off the week agreed that
Speaker 1: that is unsettling. Oh we're off to a horrible start. Serious, Stephan,
Speaker 1: Did you uber this weekend?
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 1: Did you make a little bit of money or a
Speaker 1: lot of money? I made a pretty good amount of money.
Speaker 4: Do they pay you each night?
Speaker 6: Well, you have the option to take it out whenever
Speaker 6: you want, but if you don't take it out yourself,
Speaker 6: it's weekly.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not bad. Yeah, it's pretty cool. O bad
Speaker 1: Twillert sharp. Did you go to any concerts with your
Speaker 1: daughter this weekend?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: You sure? No? No, seriously, slept in pretty much all weekend.
Speaker 1: Man, Shockingly, that is sometimes a good weekend, A good weekend,
Speaker 1: the best. We got so much to cover locally. Just
Speaker 1: want to let you know at the bottom of the hour,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the Long Beach Memorial Nurses strike,
Speaker 1: which has been announced and scheduled for May twenty second.
Speaker 1: That could have all sorts of impact and influence on
Speaker 1: your lives, especially if you're in Southern California.
Speaker 4: We'll talk about that at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 4: I have to start off.
Speaker 1: With some local news here, and it's unfortunate, but is
Speaker 1: relevant to things we've discussed on this show.
Speaker 4: And I say this not as I told you so, but.
Speaker 1: More as let me warn you one more time that
Speaker 1: you do not take going to the gas station lightly.
Speaker 1: I say that I do not go to the gas
Speaker 1: station at night, but whenever I do, which is always
Speaker 1: in the daytime, my head is always on a swivel
Speaker 1: because I know I am more likely to be victimized
Speaker 1: at a gas station than any other time, if only
Speaker 1: because you're there to spend money, presumably your stationary. You
Speaker 1: may be distracted, your car door is opened, they know
Speaker 1: you have your keys on you. You are more likely
Speaker 1: to be victimized or carjacked or something of that. A
Speaker 1: seventy eight year old man unfortunately has died when he
Speaker 1: was dragged during a violent carjacking at a Norcote gas
Speaker 1: station this afternoon. And this happened around twelve twenty three pm,
Speaker 1: and the victim, according to news reports, was cleaning the
Speaker 1: backseat of his car when a suspected carjacker got in
Speaker 1: and started backing up with the seventy seventy eight year
Speaker 1: old man still in the back of the vehicle, partially in,
Speaker 1: partially out. And then that's when the suspect allegedly sped
Speaker 1: east on Hidden Valley Parkway, dragging the victim for about
Speaker 1: a quarter mile.
Speaker 4: I'm seeing a mile. Oh okay, then they've updated. That's
Speaker 4: in my copy. I don't know. I'm sure the story
Speaker 4: will shape up throughout the evening.
Speaker 1: No, since it happened earlier today, there may be some
Speaker 1: conflicting information. I'm getting this from ABC seven. I can't
Speaker 1: speak for you. It's horrifying one way or the other.
Speaker 1: The man fell out of the car and was taken
Speaker 1: to a hospital where he later died. And there's nothing
Speaker 1: we can do about this man, unfortunately. But if I
Speaker 1: can impress upon anyone one more time that when you
Speaker 1: are at a gas station, be it man, woman, young adult,
Speaker 1: elderly individual, you have to pay attention at all times
Speaker 1: because criminals will target people and their cars at a
Speaker 1: gas station. I don't know what else to say. And
Speaker 1: this story came down, I want to think maybe five minutes.
Speaker 1: I saw this five minutes before we got on the air,
Speaker 1: and I said to walaw. We have to make mention
Speaker 1: of this because it's real important to what we do.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: No, And interesting enough, I practice gas station safety whenever
Speaker 7: I going today on the way in, I had to
Speaker 7: stop and get gased, and in dropping off, actually dropping
Speaker 7: my son off.
Speaker 4: He didn't understand why I did it.
Speaker 7: But I get out the car and I close the doors,
Speaker 7: leave the AC runner and I lock the doors, lock
Speaker 7: the doors, and then I go and get my gas.
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm in the car. Why'd you lock there?
Speaker 4: I'm like, because of car jackers. He's like, well, Dumbe's
Speaker 4: coming around here.
Speaker 7: I'm like, that's the type of mentality that you have
Speaker 7: when you get jacked. No one's gonna come around here.
Speaker 1: It's the false sense of security, believing that because it's
Speaker 1: broad daylight. You know, this is twelve twenty three in
Speaker 1: the afternoon, that's when we're probably most relaxed. Twelve twenty
Speaker 1: three in the afternoon is when I would usually get
Speaker 1: my gas, maybe on the way to work, and that's
Speaker 1: when something bad could happen. I'm quite sure as a
Speaker 1: seventy eight year old man, he was looked upon. Its
Speaker 1: probably an easier target. But again, if you're not paying attention,
Speaker 1: you are an easier target, unfortunately, and I would want
Speaker 1: everyone to be safe, and safety starts with the decisions
Speaker 1: and choices that you make before you find yourself in danger,
Speaker 1: before you get into a situation where someone is trying
Speaker 1: to carjack you. And all of us, with exception of
Speaker 1: the people who have evs, got to go to the
Speaker 1: gas station.
Speaker 4: And if you're going to go, don't go at night.
Speaker 4: And when you do go, you have to remain attentive
Speaker 4: at all times, because that's when you are more susceptible
Speaker 4: than other times. I see this all the time.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, Mark, I see this all the time where
Speaker 7: I see some people go through a gas station car
Speaker 7: wash and right at the end they'll go apart right
Speaker 7: there out the exit and they start vacuuming, cleaning out
Speaker 7: the back of their car. And every single time I
Speaker 7: see people just nose in in the car back to
Speaker 7: the world with their door open.
Speaker 4: I'm like, you are looking like a victim. You're looking
Speaker 4: like a victim right now. Be safe out there. It's
Speaker 4: later with Kelly when we come back.
Speaker 1: We have a Metro update, and interestingly enough, it has
Speaker 1: to do with safety and the elderly that's next.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 8: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4: It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, just in case you didn't know,
Speaker 1: we're still live on YouTube at mister mo Kelly m
Speaker 1: R M O K E L L Y. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you. I'm getting offended again for another occasion. Metro
Speaker 1: is doing something and not including me. How are you
Speaker 1: gonna have the ninth annual Older Adult Transportation Expo, which
Speaker 1: is put on by La Metro at that Pasadena convention
Speaker 1: Center happened.
Speaker 4: Last Friday and not invite me.
Speaker 1: I'm like doubly offended because they were talking about taking
Speaker 1: seniors fifty five years and older. First, that's fed up.
Speaker 1: I'm fifty five and they're considering me a senior. All right,
Speaker 1: that's number one and number two. You didn't at least
Speaker 1: give me the respect of inviting me to the event
Speaker 1: because I might have had something to add.
Speaker 5: Well, maybe they're working on something else, like naming a
Speaker 5: new mo Kelly HEMO stat for people who have been injured.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would like to know, though they're not including me
Speaker 1: in the conversation. You at least could have hosted the seminar.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't I have been great for that. Yes, it would
Speaker 1: have been a great community event, and it could have
Speaker 1: built bridges. It could have improved their media outreach and
Speaker 1: their coverage. But now they just completely ignored me. But anyhow,
Speaker 1: it was the ninth annual Older Adult Transportation Expo. Happened
Speaker 1: Friday at the Pasadena Convention Center and it was attended
Speaker 1: by get this, six hundred and forty senior citizens.
Speaker 4: It's like built in KFI six forty.
Speaker 1: Six hundred and forty senior citizens did that on purpose.
Speaker 4: That's not a mistake. It rights itself.
Speaker 1: They're playing in my face, I tell you, I tell you,
Speaker 1: and they were supposedly. Met was focused on teaching older
Speaker 1: adults how to use the metro system, successfully loading and
Speaker 1: using a tap card for entering trains and buses, and
Speaker 1: also listening to their concerns. You know what their number
Speaker 1: one concern was, anyone, anyone feeler the new security fairgates,
Speaker 1: no safety getting killed, shot, stabbed, I don't know, abducted.
Speaker 4: Quote.
Speaker 1: A lot of older people are afraid to travel on
Speaker 1: trains and buses because they don't think it is safe
Speaker 1: that's Marilyn Peters and La Metro travel buddy for eight
Speaker 1: years down in the Crenshaw District. Okay, this is what
Speaker 1: Maryland does before she starts an outing with a new group.
Speaker 1: She emails them safety precautions. Bring a small purse, keep
Speaker 1: your cell phone inside your purse, Have your TAP card
Speaker 1: ready so you're not rummaging for it. Always be alert,
Speaker 1: don't wear a lot of jewelry. All great advice, great advice,
Speaker 1: but still the underlying concern is safety. That's not because
Speaker 1: they're all listening to this station or they're watching me
Speaker 1: on YouTube. That's because it's a real thing. It's not
Speaker 1: just their imagination. And I appreciate to Metro's credit having
Speaker 1: an event like this annually to help explain how to
Speaker 1: use to tap fair cards, to explain what type of
Speaker 1: safety and security measures are in place. But if you
Speaker 1: look at the story, they had a number of people
Speaker 1: speak up about what they as writers saw firsthand. Assaults, harassment,
Speaker 1: all sorts of concerns that you and I have talked
Speaker 1: about any number of times on this show. It's not new,
Speaker 1: but La Metro still wants us to know as far
Speaker 1: as stats go. Quote La Metro Violent crime rates drop
Speaker 1: fifteen percent from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: And that's according to a report cited by Metros Operations,
Speaker 1: Safety and Custom Experience Committee. Stats don't make you safer.
Speaker 1: You can't walk out of the house. And I've said
Speaker 1: this before, you can't walk out and feel like, well,
Speaker 1: I feel fifteen percent safer as according to the stats
Speaker 1: in front of me. You know, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: thirty five percent less likely to get shaped.
Speaker 4: It doesn't work that way. It's not the numbers.
Speaker 1: It's the environment that you create and can sustain consistently,
Speaker 1: which makes one feel safer.
Speaker 5: Maybe they need new slogan, like Metro it's not just
Speaker 5: for apex predators.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's going to be good enough.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Mark.
Speaker 6: You might be onto something you think, well, part of
Speaker 6: it is so numbers aren't supposed to make us feel better.
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. Oh okay, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: not not in a vacuum. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, if you were to walk up to me
Speaker 1: and say, hey, mo, zero percent of people were stabbed today,
Speaker 1: does that make me feel any better? Not really, because
Speaker 1: someone can get stabbed tomorrow and we have the totality
Speaker 1: of the information and the stats to know that there
Speaker 1: is still a distinct possibility that something is going to
Speaker 1: happen and it could be violent. Why because there's still
Speaker 1: no security component and safety component to the way, or
Speaker 1: to the degree which protects most passengers on buses, on trains,
Speaker 1: on platforms.
Speaker 4: Why we don't have that Metro security force.
Speaker 1: You don't have that individual who's on every bus or
Speaker 1: every train or at every platform.
Speaker 7: But maybe since they have hired a new Metro police chief,
Speaker 7: that is probably first on his docket.
Speaker 1: Well I'm so yeah, I'm sure that is, and they
Speaker 1: will be hiring people. But that's not tomorrow, that's not
Speaker 1: next week, that's not next month. I honestly, you don't
Speaker 1: even think it's next year. I think it's more like
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, so whatever
Speaker 1: they're telling these elderly folks. And still I'm mad that
Speaker 1: they think fifty five is elderly, okay, man, but it is.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to that. No, no, no, I know five,
Speaker 4: you've crossed the rubica.
Speaker 1: I would like to think that I am still able
Speaker 1: bodied enough where I don't need physical assistance to get
Speaker 1: on a freaking bus. Okay, but did you get an
Speaker 1: AARP card. No, they sent me an aa RP card.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask for one. They started sending me that
Speaker 1: information when I turned like forty five. And that's like, hey,
Speaker 1: slow down fast, AARP. I don't know you like that.
Speaker 1: We're not in a relationship.
Speaker 4: Okay. It's like they want to just consummate the relationship
Speaker 4: on the first day. It's like, look, I don't even
Speaker 4: know you. Can we sit down and talk.
Speaker 5: Oh, don't be so quick to reject it. Maybe there's
Speaker 5: some good deals in there for a man of your age.
Speaker 4: There are, there are.
Speaker 1: And that was the only problem with it, because I
Speaker 1: was willing to sit down and listen to them. You
Speaker 1: can't say no because they actually do give good deals.
Speaker 1: They are so I was looking at them. I might
Speaker 1: go to Denny's tonight. Too much good stuff.
Speaker 4: There were some deals in there. It's like, okay, well,
Speaker 4: maybe I should just think about this for a while.
Speaker 4: It's good story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my pride keeps getting in the well. Dismiss
Speaker 1: it now, don't dismiss it. I was in the hallway.
Speaker 1: True story, and I'm glad none of you saw this.
Speaker 1: But I was in the hallway doing push ups because
Speaker 1: I was having an internal struggles like, wait, man, I
Speaker 1: can't be at that age where I'm going to be
Speaker 1: considered a senior. I just know I reject it. I
Speaker 1: rebuke thee get behind these state satan. I know, I
Speaker 1: know I'm not I'm not too old.
Speaker 4: For this ish. I refuse.
Speaker 5: So you're doing push ups in the hallway like Jack
Speaker 5: Palance doing them at the oscars, just to prove something
Speaker 5: to people.
Speaker 1: I can still do one arm push ups. By the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing that out there. Okay, strong light bull.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to see that.
Speaker 4: Very virile. Hey, you know we can we can't.
Speaker 2: Can't.
Speaker 4: I heard that. I am not. I'm not playing agaful.
Speaker 5: These cameras are here for a reason. I think you
Speaker 5: kind of have to do it. No, I really don't
Speaker 5: have to do it. Just no, no, we have to get
Speaker 5: to the card.
Speaker 4: So no, no, no pull up.
Speaker 7: How many people want to see MO do one push up?
Speaker 4: Just one? Just one me one? Okay.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to talk about Long
Speaker 1: Beach Memorial and how the nurses there have announced a
Speaker 1: one day strike for patient safety.
Speaker 4: Coming up on May twenty second.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of the issues surrounding that and
Speaker 1: what it may actually be like for those nurses who
Speaker 1: are working at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.
Speaker 8: That's next you're listening to Later with mo Kelly on
Speaker 8: Demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: When mo Kelly on k.
Speaker 1: Six registered nurses at Memorial Care Long Beach Medical Center
Speaker 1: gave notice to their employer back on May eighth that
Speaker 1: they will hold a one day strike starting at seven
Speaker 1: am on May twenty second, to protest the hospital's refusal
Speaker 1: to what they call a dishonest engagement in good faith
Speaker 1: negotiations over needed improvements to patient care, nurse working conditions
Speaker 1: and staffing. Joining us right now on Later with mo
Speaker 1: Kelly is registered nurse Nedrah Gails to give us some
Speaker 1: sense or at least on the side of nurses, what
Speaker 1: is going on both inside the hospital and outside of
Speaker 1: it as far as negotiations. Gails is nice to have
Speaker 1: you on the show tonight. How are you?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mo? I'm doing well.
Speaker 1: How should I describe how desperate or I should say
Speaker 1: how concerned nurses are at the working conditions at Long
Speaker 1: Beach Memorial.
Speaker 2: Well. The primary reason for the nurses going on strike
Speaker 2: is for the sake of our patients and also for ourselves,
Speaker 2: you know, our our protests is it's towards the management
Speaker 2: for their refusal to just address the concerns that the
Speaker 2: nurses have regarding safe patient care, staffing, workplace violence protections,
Speaker 2: and you know, just the overall wellbeing of the patient
Speaker 2: population that we care for at Memorial and other children.
Speaker 4: Do I have this correct?
Speaker 1: That there was a negotiation which was planned for late
Speaker 1: last week and instead of the negotiation they handed out
Speaker 1: pink slips to various nurses.
Speaker 4: Is that correct?
Speaker 2: The negotiation was set for last Friday and our management
Speaker 2: team decided did not to appear. Our nurse negotiation team
Speaker 2: did it follow through and we were present at the
Speaker 2: table ready to meet and discuss and hopefully come together
Speaker 2: with a contract that was fair and equitable. But again
Speaker 2: the management of the hospital decided that they would not come.
Speaker 1: Tell me about what's it like on an average day
Speaker 1: in Long Beach Memorial because of these issues.
Speaker 4: Are nurses being overworked?
Speaker 1: Are they not getting the type of support and support
Speaker 1: staff that they need? What are some of the central
Speaker 1: issues which is having nurses speak out and also protest
Speaker 1: picket and eventually go on strike May twenty second.
Speaker 2: So Mo, what we are asking for regarding the safe
Speaker 2: staffing is, you know, we want to be able to
Speaker 2: take care of our patients the best way we can,
Speaker 2: and when we have units that are not fully staffed,
Speaker 2: patients are waiting for long periods of time for care
Speaker 2: in our emergency departments. Those kinds of situations are concerning
Speaker 2: to the nurses and to the community.
Speaker 1: Now that you are shorter staffed, because I know there
Speaker 1: have been layoffs, what is the concern In other words,
Speaker 1: are there going to be any gaps in patient help
Speaker 1: or patient care between now and the twenty second because
Speaker 1: of these recent layoffs.
Speaker 2: So because of one of the things that we're asking
Speaker 2: for with regards to our pro tests, it does have
Speaker 2: to do with services being cut to the community. An
Speaker 2: example is our outpatient children's clinics. Because of these layoffs
Speaker 2: that you mentioned of, some of those services are quite
Speaker 2: possibly not going to continue the way that the community
Speaker 2: has known them. A prime example is the closing of
Speaker 2: the outpatient Children's Village Pharmacy, where a lot of the
Speaker 2: children that are seen in those clinics, they are having
Speaker 2: to get their medications from outside pharmacies that they're not
Speaker 2: familiar with, and some of the specialized medications are harder to.
Speaker 4: Attain if you're just tuning in.
Speaker 1: My guess right now is Nedra Gails, who is a
Speaker 1: registered nurse working at Long Beach Memorial Or talking about
Speaker 1: how nurses have given notice to their employer that on
Speaker 1: May twenty second, they plan to go on a one
Speaker 1: day strike starting at seven am on May twenty second,
Speaker 1: to bring more light to negotiations with it, which at
Speaker 1: this point have been stalled over needed improvements to patient care,
Speaker 1: working conditions, and staffing. And Netie, let me pick up
Speaker 1: there on May twenty second, if things progress as they
Speaker 1: seem to be progressing, what does that one day strike
Speaker 1: look like? And how many nurses are we talking about?
Speaker 4: Everyone? How does.
Speaker 1: The hospital continue to function without your work.
Speaker 2: So well? One of the big deals about this strike.
Speaker 2: We proposed a one day strike starting on May twenty
Speaker 2: second and ending night of May twenty second. The management
Speaker 2: of the hospital has elected to lock us out until
Speaker 2: well for four days, so it'll be a toll of
Speaker 2: five days that you know we will be away from
Speaker 2: the bedside.
Speaker 4: Does that let me jump in there?
Speaker 1: Does that mean that patients will be lacking for care
Speaker 1: or will they be bringing in other nurses from other
Speaker 1: locations or other physicians assistance if you will, to cover
Speaker 1: the gap while you are not working there during that time.
Speaker 2: So, during the time that we are out on strike,
Speaker 2: the hospital management has made the decision to bring in replacement,
Speaker 2: and it comes on that decision comes on the heels
Speaker 2: of the approximately nurses that have been laid off, and
Speaker 2: it gives kind of a mixed what's the word like?
Speaker 2: It gives us Yeah, because the hospital is investing in
Speaker 2: outside workforce when there have been nurses that have been
Speaker 2: laid off from their jobs and then we were willing
Speaker 2: and are willing to come back to work after our protests. No,
Speaker 2: it's it doesn't really like balance. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get to a far ahead of
Speaker 1: what your union is proposing to do, but in a
Speaker 1: general sense, if we continue on this path and management
Speaker 1: at Long Beach Memorial is reluctant to negotiate or does
Speaker 1: not start restart negotiations, or or does not meet your
Speaker 1: demands prior to the strike at this point is listed
Speaker 1: as one day, but could this then be extended for
Speaker 1: an indeterminate amount of time and just go on into
Speaker 1: in perpetuity until your demands have been met.
Speaker 2: The more you know again, our negotiations team is willing
Speaker 2: and wanting to reach an agreement before any type of
Speaker 2: decision like that is made, because the nurses really want
Speaker 2: to take care of our patients. That's what we really
Speaker 2: want to do.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, what is morale like among
Speaker 1: many of the nurses that you work with, those who
Speaker 1: you speak with. I have some friends full disclosure who
Speaker 1: do work at Long Beach Memorial, and I know what
Speaker 1: they say to me about their level of frustration. What
Speaker 1: is it you hear beyond what you experience.
Speaker 2: The nurses that I have experienced. The feeling is we
Speaker 2: all want the same things. We want staff thing to improve.
Speaker 2: We want our paces to be taken care of in
Speaker 2: a safe manner, and we want to provide a safe
Speaker 2: place for the patients and for the nurses.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, before I let you go,
Speaker 1: Nedric Gail's, I wonder have you found any solidarity or
Speaker 1: support from the other staff at the hospital? I mean
Speaker 1: from doctors, I don't know, radiologists, anyone else who may
Speaker 1: work alongside by side with you in the hospital. Long
Speaker 1: Beach Memorial. What have they been saying? Are they willing
Speaker 1: to stand with you on any level?
Speaker 2: I can say more that there is a grit great
Speaker 2: deal of solidarity for this particular action and for the
Speaker 2: want that our nurses have put forth.
Speaker 1: She is Netra Gails, registered nurse at Long Beach Memorial,
Speaker 1: and I would say a representative of the fight to
Speaker 1: improve nursing conditions at Long Beach Medical Center.
Speaker 4: Metre Gails.
Speaker 1: I have been following this issue from AFAR, but now
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more closely involved and associated and
Speaker 1: watching it evolve. Can we have you back on the
Speaker 1: future in the future so we can further follow up.
Speaker 2: On this, Mo, if you would call me, I would
Speaker 2: come absolutely.
Speaker 4: We'll have you again. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and also on
Speaker 1: YouTube at mister Kelly, m R M O K E
Speaker 1: L L Y.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 8: KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 4: It's Later with Moe Kelly. We're live on YouTube.
Speaker 1: And I'd mentioned that being live on YouTube because some
Speaker 1: people have asked for this. I did not ask for it,
Speaker 1: but some people have asked for it. Earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: I made the point that I was doing some pushups
Speaker 1: in the hallway, because if you don't know me, before
Speaker 1: the show, I'm usually getting my steps in. I'm walking around,
Speaker 1: getting my heart racing, get my blood going, because when
Speaker 1: you do a three hour show, you can't come in
Speaker 1: like you've just been sitting down for the past two hours.
Speaker 1: You know, if you sound tired. I should say, if
Speaker 1: you are tired, you're gonna sound tired, and you can't
Speaker 1: let your energy diminish over the course of a show.
Speaker 4: So I will do some light exercising.
Speaker 1: If you've seen a CAFI, we have a basketball goal,
Speaker 1: a mini basketball goals, so I'll shoot some baskets on
Speaker 1: occasion whatever, just try to get some exercise in. And
Speaker 1: I don't know who decided to say I think it's
Speaker 1: probably Mark Ronner something about doing push ups, and I
Speaker 1: made just a response, Yeah, I could even do a
Speaker 1: one arm push up, and then it's.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, here we go, he's got to do this
Speaker 4: with one arm push ups.
Speaker 1: So to that end, I said I would do one
Speaker 1: one arm push up, and if Daniel should bring in
Speaker 1: the camera, I'll do it one huh.
Speaker 4: That's impressive. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, no expectations, you know, and no expectations, no disappointments.
Speaker 1: So if I were to do two, it's.
Speaker 4: Like, wow, he did not.
Speaker 1: Only what he did two, But if I say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can do thirty oo, No, I can't do thirty
Speaker 1: one on them push ups. But the true story is
Speaker 1: I had started doing them way way back in the
Speaker 1: day when I first saw who do It?
Speaker 4: Rocky? When Rocky was training and did the one I
Speaker 4: push ups, Like, I wonder if I could do that?
Speaker 1: Did you punch some meat too? No, I chased some
Speaker 1: chicken stuff. I'm kidding. I didn't do any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: That was just the one arm push up. That meat punching,
Speaker 1: don't sell that short. That'll catch you in shape fast.
Speaker 1: Do you know that punching slabs of meat will probably
Speaker 1: break your hand? I mean those are actual bones you're
Speaker 1: hitting for. The moms say that those are like really strong.
Speaker 1: Without wraps, you can't punch. But even with a wrap,
Speaker 1: you're not really protecting your hand because even a boxing
Speaker 1: bag is solid.
Speaker 4: So I can't imagine actual meat.
Speaker 1: And not only that, if you don't hit something, be
Speaker 1: it a bag or a bag of meat, correctly. You
Speaker 1: can easily break your wrists, break your knuckles.
Speaker 4: It's all bad.
Speaker 1: Certain things you should not do just because you saw
Speaker 1: them in the movies.
Speaker 4: What's that you got in your hand? Carnaesia, Turn on
Speaker 4: your mic. Turn on Carnacio's mic. This is the camera
Speaker 4: to watch you do your one arm push up. Oh
Speaker 4: you want me to do it now? You ready? Probably? Not?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: Let me turn this off here and you can follow
Speaker 1: me around.
Speaker 4: Foush. I think you need to narrate this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so he's coming around, he's getting ready to go.
Speaker 6: We're about to uh.
Speaker 4: Around yep. Oh, three, four, five, six, seven? Are you ready?
Speaker 4: With the heart paddles food?
Speaker 2: Eight?
Speaker 5: He's doing pretty well. Actually, what do you do? Like
Speaker 5: a dozen of them? I think it was, Oh he
Speaker 5: got eleven? Wow, eleven, I'll take it. I was that
Speaker 5: was impressive. He did it pretty falllessly.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: I was pleased to see that you were able to
Speaker 5: get back up. Well done, my goodness.
Speaker 1: And honestly, I haven't done him in a while, so
Speaker 1: I wasn't like sure where I would fall in the spectrum,
Speaker 1: but I knew I could get one.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I thought it was brave of you to do
Speaker 4: that without one of those life alert bracelets. Brave. You
Speaker 4: know you're not you know you're not exactly younger than me.
Speaker 5: Right, I don't know what you're talking about, and you
Speaker 5: should be careful what you say on the air.
Speaker 1: Now, the YouTube feed, I have it like a set
Speaker 1: a little bit behind me, so I get to watch
Speaker 1: it now.
Speaker 4: I did pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I do say so myself. All right, I
Speaker 1: won't be break dancing tonight either. I am tired. Wow,
Speaker 1: all right, what are we going to talk about for
Speaker 1: the next two minutes?
Speaker 5: I think you did a spectacular job for a man
Speaker 5: of your stature and condition, and you should be applauded.
Speaker 4: Can I get some applause?
Speaker 1: I mean metaphorically, I want, I actually want applause. You know, hercules, hercules, hercules.
Speaker 4: So she got some canned applause in there that would
Speaker 4: be appropriate for you. I'll take an air horn. I'll
Speaker 4: take an air horn. Isn't that kind of alarming for you? Though? No,
Speaker 4: not at all. Doesn't that raise your blood pressure? No?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Are you sure what the push ups probably did? Yeah?
Speaker 4: That's like lifting weights. All right, we'll go tell you
Speaker 4: very much. We're going to break early because I need
Speaker 4: a nap, Get him some oxygen.
