WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.399 Ka if I am six forty, mister Bokelly here, we're 2 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.679 live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. I tell you, if 3 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.640 I could get these guys to concentrate on the show 4 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.039 as much as they do try to concentrate on ordering 5 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.960 food on Friday nights, the show would be pretty damn good. 6 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.520 I can't tell you how many text messages have gone 7 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.240 back and forth, high and low, near and far about 8 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.719 what we're going to eat tonight. Nobody wanted to talk 9 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.840 about the show. Okay, Twalta didn't do anything. He didn't 10 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.520 put anything together. I have no audio, I have no 11 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.560 stories to talk about. No one pulled any movies. It's 12 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:02.079 all bedlam, cats and dogs living together mass hysteria. Hi, guys, 13 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.640 I wouldn't tolerate that if I were you. True story 14 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.120 it started relatively early today. I think it was Stephan, 15 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.079 who's the first one. I think you were it was. 16 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.840 It was early and he said, so what are we 17 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.799 eating tonight? It's like, damn, I'm finishing my breakfast? Oh yeah, 18 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.280 what time did that come in? It was early? It 19 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.920 was I'll say that it was pretty early. I'mink like, 20 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.599 what what what? Because I think about it before I 21 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.239 have to leave. Who's thinking about dinner in the morning. Yeah, 22 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.319 here we go, Here we go, eleven thirty four. 23 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:38.359 There you go. 24 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.480 He's thinking Ribs, Ribs USA eleven thirty four. 25 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.680 I love it, Oh my goodness. And I'm thinking like, okay, 26 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.680 all right, Twala handle it. You guys work it out 27 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:55.319 amongst yourselves. It's not like Stephan was trying to be proactive. 28 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.439 It's like, hey, is there anything you need me to pull? 29 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.799 As far as movies or sound clips are for the 30 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.560 show tonight. It wasn't like Twala was saying like, hey, mo, 31 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.159 do you need anything? Do you need me help? Or 32 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.120 are we good for tonight? They got these stories Mark 33 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.080 he was he was still asleep at that time, so 34 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:11.680 I already need to. 35 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.960 Ask were you dreaming about Ribs? Did you wake up 36 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.199 wanting Ribs do? Or are you like a Warner Brothers 37 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:25.599 character who sees like a really explicit say. I'm not 38 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.000 saying I don't do that too. I just it's a 39 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.120 reasonable question. Fair enough. 40 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.400 This has turned into the Fork Report, where we just 41 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.759 talk about food. All the food that we want to 42 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.680 eat that we didn't get to eat and we might 43 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.560 get to eat. Are we actually getting food tonight, because 44 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.240 people are listening want to know, not that they care, 45 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.800 people listening want to know what we're actually going to 46 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:45.240 get to eat. 47 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.080 Yes, it's a Friday night, Yes, the food is happening. 48 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.120 Do they really though, do they do? They want to 49 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.360 hear us masticating on the air? No, no, no, they I know. 50 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.439 I do get messages from folks like, well, why don't 51 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.120 you get food from such and such a place or 52 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.520 such such and such as, like look, I'm at the 53 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.560 mercy of those who are around me. I keep trying 54 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.960 to tell people you order the food. I'll put it 55 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.719 in my order and then I'll pay for the food, 56 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.879 but you got to order it. I don't want to 57 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:16.719 be tied down dealing with the mundane, the banal things 58 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.520 which are unimportant. What banw. 59 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:29.319 Pronunciations, everything with certain words, you you you. 60 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.439 I hate those banal beads. This is definitely a Friday show. 61 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.280 What is hey, twalla? What is on the show tonight? Okay, 62 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.360 here it is. We're talking about the La fires, how 63 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.759 it could contaminate worse than it already is contaminated marine 64 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.439 food chain. In other words, all the fish that we're 65 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.879 fishing out in the ocean. It could be contaminated by 66 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.120 the fires more so than just a poop alone. California 67 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.520 Assembly Democrats announced plans to leave x over disinformation and 68 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.000 hate speech. California Assembly Democrats are in unison on this 69 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.360 issue and they are leaving that social media platform will 70 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.079 tell you about that and also why and the most 71 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:22.160 important item for discussion. Applebee's and I Hop are merging 72 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.800 or have merged. The merging buildings and menu they are, 73 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.040 I'm being serious. Now they're mixing their food together. 74 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.199 Are they emerging the name like Hopplebee's or something I 75 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.160 was thinking like Apple Hop or. 76 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.879 It's one of those one of those things you gotta 77 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.879 I know, they have to have a whole new chain. 78 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.240 No, they're keeping it. They're just pushing it together. They'll 79 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.720 have I Hop on one side of the building, Applebee's 80 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:51.360 on the other. 81 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.920 That the no no, no, no no, I have a perfect one, 82 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.399 perfect one for you International House of Bees. 83 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.639 Don't laugh atbot Twala. I feel like you're mocking me. 84 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.160 I feel attacked. Ever never never, Now you gotta get onto. 85 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.680 You haven't given it a rim shot all damn week, 86 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:13.160 all damn week, and now you wake up now. But 87 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.959 you're supposed to give him a rim shot after I pay. 88 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.839 For the food, not before buzz on into the International 89 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:19.639 House of Bees. 90 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.879 Don't give him a sound effect. Don't you don't touch 91 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.759 the bab Oh you gave a rim shot as well. 92 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.199 That was good. You gotta have that be sound right 93 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:36.920 on your desktop. There foosh, he's not I'm just thinking 94 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.160 about getting out of his coma. Yeah. But when we 95 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:41.759 come back, we're going tell you about the La fires 96 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.079 how they possibly have been contaminating our marine food chain. 97 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.920 That's next. It's Later with mo Kelly. The weekend is 98 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.040 here KFI A six forty Live Everywhere, the iHeartRadio app. 99 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.879 You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from 100 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.519 KFI AM six forty. 101 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.160 And we've talked often about how nasty and dirty our 102 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.959 beaches are. Well, I have more bad news. And this 103 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:11.120 doesn't necessarily impact beachgoers, but it could impact our food 104 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.519 supply because levels of lead and other heavy metals have 105 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.920 been spiking in the coastal waters off of La since 106 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.560 the January fires, and their concerns because of that long 107 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.160 term health of fish, marine mammals, and the marine food chain. 108 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.600 Contaminant levels from sample water. We're told at least weren't 109 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.600 high enough to pose likely health risks to recreational beach goers. 110 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.319 We're told. We're told that even at relatively low concentrations. 111 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.480 On the other hand, these metals can damage cells and 112 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:56.000 disrupt reproduction and other biological processes in sea animals, where 113 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.319 again it may not bother us directly as cash well 114 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.920 beach goers, but it can impact sea life and also 115 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.199 what we may eat from our oceans. Here's why. The 116 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.800 metals accumulate in the tissues of animals exposed to them 117 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.639 and then make their way up the food chain as 118 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:23.000 those organisms are eaten by larger ones. And you're thinking, like, well, 119 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:33.160 what are we talking about exactly? We're talking about beryllium, copper, chromium, nickel, lead, 120 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.560 and that levels two to four times higher than the 121 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:43.120 maximum allowed under California state law. Everything a growing boy needs. 122 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.480 Now here's the thing that concerns me the most. If 123 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.000 you weren't really paying attention, you might have missed this story. 124 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.399 If you weren't really scouring the news, you might have 125 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.920 missed this. And for someone who is always conscious of 126 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.839 what is going on in the water, and I say 127 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.120 stay out of the water, just for our own benefit, 128 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.040 just for our own day to day health, because we 129 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:13.720 know how polluted our beaches are on a normal, everyday basis. Now, 130 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:22.360 when you put into the equation these added pollutants of lead, nickel, chromium, copper, 131 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.759 and how invariably it's going to impact marine life all 132 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.519 the way up to what we may find in our stores, 133 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.560 then you got to know, like, wait a minute, they're 134 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:37.000 really soft shoeing this story. This is something is actually serious. 135 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.879 At the Santa Monica Pier and Dockwaller Beach, both of 136 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.000 which are south of the Burns Guard, levels of both 137 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:49.519 lead and chromium were roughly triple California's safety threshold for 138 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.000 marine life. You would think that this is a bigger deal. 139 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.759 At the Santa Monica test location after the rains, the 140 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.000 level of realium, a metal that is toxic to fish 141 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.120 and corals and causes respiratory distress in humans. Get this 142 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:11.120 was more than ten times the maximum limit allowed. And 143 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.919 let me go back to the beginning. Whereas the article 144 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:18.399 says that if you're just a casual beach goer, it's 145 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.960 probably not harmful to you because you're not ingesting the fish, 146 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.600 how confident should you be in that? Because we know 147 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.480 that the beaches are routinely polluted, and we're always getting 148 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.559 these alerts about how you need to stay out of 149 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.120 the water, and then you're saying that almost basically the 150 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.759 fish aren't even safe in their own water. Now, I'm 151 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.919 not a person who is real big on seafood. I 152 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:47.120 will eat my you know, salmon, I'll eat some cod 153 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.879 every now and then. But it's not like I have 154 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.919 a diet which is just full of seafood. But my wife, 155 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.039 on the other hand, she swears by, she lives by, 156 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.720 and I wonder how it's going to impact us long term. 157 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.759 I think a reasonable person would wonder about how this 158 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.600 would impact us long term. And let me just ask 159 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.519 Stefan very quickly, Stephan, I know you're busy, but you're 160 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.639 not that busy because you're usually ignoring us. Okay, are 161 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.000 you a seafood person? And if so, and fish and 162 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.799 chips doesn't count. Are you a seafood person and if so, 163 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:26.720 what do you usually eat? Uh? Not a seafood person, 164 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.360 But my go to is always salmon. Okay, that's mine 165 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:34.000 as well. Yeah, but I don't know where it's coming from. 166 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.120 In other words, like if I get my salmon from Ralph's. 167 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.960 I don't know exactly where it's Yeah, I just don't 168 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.679 know the origin of right, right, I don't know if 169 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.120 it's farmed. I don't know any of that because I'm 170 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.240 limited in my knowledge. But when I see this, I 171 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.480 am concerned long term what this means for our marine 172 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:01.440 food supply, because the title is we should be concerned 173 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.440 LA fire contaminant levels could sicken the marine food chain, 174 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.360 and just being at the top of the food chain 175 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.519 doesn't mean that we're also safe just being at the 176 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.919 top of the food chain. Now, I'm good with salmon, 177 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.399 as I said, I'll eat some cod on occasion, I've 178 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.840 had some eel going out for sushi. As a matter 179 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.639 of fact, every time we have a hop Kito Studio 180 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.600 belt test after the test, we always go out for 181 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.440 sushi or some sort of seafood. I have to look 182 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.200 at this kind of differently now, not that I'm going 183 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.320 to be scared of everything, but I would have to 184 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.679 be concerned. And I don't think Mark, You're not a 185 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.279 seafood guy, are you? I am? Yeah, of course, what 186 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.039 do you eat? Well, I don't know, of course, I 187 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:44.919 don't know what your diet is. 188 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.039 Well, I mean I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, 189 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.000 so it's the law you have to eat a certain 190 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.159 amount of seafood each week or you'll have a black 191 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.080 bag put over your head and you'll get shoved into 192 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.879 a van and sent to South America. 193 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.440 Well, I mean, I live in LA and I don't 194 00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.120 think of this as a seafood town. 195 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.879 Honestly, I don't know. 196 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.480 I was actually curious where you go to get your 197 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.399 sushi after your hapkito practice, because I've been looking for 198 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:07.919 new places. 199 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:09.639 Oh, but if you don't want to say it on 200 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:10.279 the air, you can wait. 201 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:12.720 I always I'm really careful about what I eat because 202 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.000 you want to make sure that it's not farm raised, 203 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.159 it's wild caught, and you know, X, Y and Z 204 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.320 other things. 205 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.720 I have a couple of places I'm trying to I 206 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.240 don't know if I should tell you. I have to 207 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.039 think about that because it's a it's not a hole 208 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.200 in the wall, but on are like three tables there, 209 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.919 and if I say it, then everyone will know about it. 210 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.639 Oh yeah, don't reckon. There's a sushi truck in my neighborhood, 211 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.440 and sushi and truck are just counterintuitive to slap together. 212 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.120 But it's pretty good. And I'm not going to tell 213 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.360 anybody the name of that either. 214 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.639 Now I know, Touwala, you're kind of a seafood person, 215 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:53.639 kinda I know from your gumbo. There's that aspect of it. 216 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.600 Does this give you pause now for your gumbo? It does? 217 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.720 It gives me cut pause where my gumbo gives me 218 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.799 pause for my catfish, which I love. 219 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.159 It gives me paups for my salmon. 220 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.399 All the seafood dishes that I make, I love seafood, 221 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.559 even though when it comes to sushi, you know, I'll 222 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.279 go and get a good Whole Food sushi combo. 223 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.559 Really Whole Foods has really good sushi. When I go there, 224 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.039 I see the sushi, but I never get the sushi. 225 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.639 I'll get like the California rolls, maybe with some crab meat. 226 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.559 But I'm thinking that sushi has been sitting out there 227 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.759 for eight nine. 228 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.080 Under you you you can add you can get some 229 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.440 fresh sushi made. You don't have to get oh, because 230 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.200 I'm looking in the boxes like in that front. Now 231 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.080 you know what I'm yeah, I know what you're talking about. No, no, 232 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.080 those you get the California rolls, okay, right, that's you 233 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:40.799 get the California. 234 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.840 Yeah, because it's like, wait a minute, that has had 235 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.000 to have been out there at least six seven hours. 236 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.360 Don't all the California rolls have that nasty fake crab 237 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:49.679 in them? 238 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:49.960 Yeah? 239 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.559 For the most part, I don't like that stuff. 240 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.840 But I'm not going to hold foods for sushi. That's 241 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.480 my point. If I'm gonna get sushi, I wanna go 242 00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:59.840 to an actual sushi. 243 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.759 Don't go to a restaurant that doesn't sell something and 244 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:10.639 get that. Like when McDonald's had those chicken wings. Horrible, right, horrible. 245 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.759 I'm not going to Venursestile to get a hamburger and 246 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.279 they sell some hamburgers, Like, I'm not doing that. 247 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:22.039 Yeah, So if Carl's Junior starts selling spicy tuna rolls, 248 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:22.840 maybe avoid that. 249 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:27.639 Carl's Jr. Like, I'm not going to McDonald's for a salad. 250 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:32.080 I no, I'm not, And some people do, and it's 251 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.919 like you just kind of defeat the purpose. But Okay, 252 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.120 you can get a salad, a good salad anywhere else 253 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:41.000 other than McDonald's. But I know some people who will 254 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.360 actually do that. It's like that's just torture. If you're 255 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.360 gonna walk in McDonald's buy your ass a hamburger, a cheeseburger, 256 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.679 a double cheeseburger or something, but not a salad. This 257 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.519 is something intuitively wrong. But anyhow, I have to see 258 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.840 if I'm going to tell you about the sushi place. 259 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.440 I'm very part it. They do good business. They don't 260 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.360 need the advertisement for me. Can you send it to 261 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:08.919 me over a signal chat? Everybody might find out them. 262 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:13.440 Oh no, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on 263 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.279 demand from KFI AM six forty. 264 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.120 Okay, Mark. A few friends of mine hit me during 265 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.200 the break saying, mo, you know, just just shout out 266 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.080 the restaurant. Last secmen, we were talking about one of 267 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.200 my favorite sushi places, and I said we would always 268 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.240 go after a hot Keto belt test. We have a 269 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.960 belt test tomorrow and so we'll probably go to this 270 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:41.600 place again tomorrow and it's and it's really good. I'm 271 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.919 hesitant to shout them out because that means everyone's going 272 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.080 to go there. It's Tony Sushi. It's Tony Sushi. It's 273 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.039 on the way, Like if you're going to Venice Beach 274 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.279 down Culvert Boulevard, Western Culvert Boulevard, it's one two seven, 275 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:59.720 four zero Culver Boulevard. We probably go there maybe three 276 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.600 four or times, but I would say about maybe twice 277 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.200 a month on average. It's just really really good. They 278 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.399 give you a lot of food. It's well done, it's quick. 279 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.080 Tom Me sushi, that's what I swear by. So if 280 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.960 you should ever be in the neighborhood, mark yes, I'll 281 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.639 treat you to Tommy Sushi. You got a deal, now, Stefan, 282 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.759 he's in a neighborhood. But I don't know, Stefan. Are 283 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:26.879 are you big on sushi? Oh? Yeah, I'll tackle some sushi. Okay, 284 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:31.639 you just not picky. Do you have any preference when 285 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.720 it comes to sushi? If not? No, No, I don't 286 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.000 have any preference. Okay I do. I think I know 287 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.240 what the place you're talking. I think I've driven past it, 288 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.159 probably picked or picked up people or dropped people off. 289 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:47.759 It's a strip mall. Oh then no, but sounds good. No, 290 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.080 it's really really good. And you'll run into some people 291 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.279 there because it's well known within the neighborhood. You'll see 292 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.559 some recognizable people, that's all I'll say. Sometimes you'll see 293 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.000 some selectes and people who go on there and do 294 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.680 they have good sushi eating manners or do they like 295 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:09.519 filthy savages. For the most part, everyone is sushi literate. 296 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.519 They're they're not using forks, they're using chopsticks. The food 297 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.720 doesn't take a long time to get to you. They're 298 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.119 preparing it in front of you, so it's not like 299 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.960 they're just pulling it out the refrigerator or something. It's 300 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.480 just it's always really, really good. Do you have a 301 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:28.839 favorite sushi dish? It's there's a baked salmon, and there's 302 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.279 there's a The eel is very good. I wouldn't say 303 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.160 it's my favorite. I thought I was gonna hate it. 304 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.440 We have a tradition at our studio whenever you get 305 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.880 black belt or someone else gets black belt, we all 306 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.640 have eel. It's one of those acquired tastes. I think 307 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.920 eel tastes pretty good. It's a little meaty. It's a 308 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:49.440 little chewy to me. 309 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.839 But you're going to a sushi restaurant and the two 310 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.839 things you just describe are cooked fish. You don't like that, right, 311 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.640 You don't like any of the roster? Got that right? 312 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.279 Why are you going into a sushi restaurant? She doesn't 313 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.839 get a cooked fish? No, no, no, sushi is a preparation style. 314 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:06.880 It's not necessarily uncooked. If I'm not mistaken, well, it 315 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.920 doesn't make any difference. I'm I'm declaring you a hostile witness. 316 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.359 Answer the question, no, no, no, Why don't you like when 317 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.160 I get the salmon that is raw? If I get 318 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:22.279 the salmon rolls that's raw, they also offer the baked salmon. 319 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.720 I can't recite the menu to you off the top 320 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.079 of my head. Well, no, but it just sounds to 321 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:28.720 me like you might as well just be ordering like 322 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.680 a Gordon's fish stick that's been cooked. When you go 323 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:34.400 to one of these places, you're meant to eat the 324 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.039 raw fish. 325 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:37.200 Yeah, I know, I know, and I usually hit the 326 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.640 raw salmon. Now, have you ever been to Kura Sushi? 327 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.000 Where is that? I don't think so. But where is that? 328 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.839 There's a couple of locations. One is in like the 329 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.559 heart of downtown LA, and then one is closer to me, 330 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:55.160 actually closer to you in Guardina, and it's essentially like 331 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.319 the typical sushi place with the conveyor belt going is 332 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:04.319 a Western by chance? I don't how's this spelled? Yeah, 333 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.039 core k you r a Those conveyor belt places are 334 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.880 a lot of fun. It's really cool because one in Torrents, 335 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:16.480 as a matter of fact, second there on second okay 336 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.480 in Torrents. Yeah, this is on the border. So essentially 337 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.400 you can obviously you can take the sushi off the 338 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.279 conveyor belt. But what's really cool is you can place 339 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.000 an order on a screen and they'll it'll just deliver 340 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.200 it right to your spot, whether you're at a table 341 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.799 or you're sitting down. It'll come out on a conveyor 342 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.279 belt right to you. So if you want like the 343 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.559 rassam and you don't see any on the on the belt, 344 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:44.920 you put it on there and being. 345 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:47.880 The only thing more fun than a conveyor belt sushi 346 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.039 place would be a place that brings you your food 347 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.319 on a little Chu chu train on. 348 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.279 A track exactly. Okay, we all agree. Now, I've been 349 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.440 to Koy in West Hollywood. That's pretty good. KOI, I've 350 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.079 heard that pretty good. Yeah, But that's about it. Those 351 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:08.160 are only places that I usually go consistently. Consistently, Mark, 352 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.640 you haven't found any regular places out here yet in 353 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.400 just six years. 354 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.599 Just the truck in my neighborhood. It's a pretty good 355 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.000 deal and I've got it narrowed down to the same 356 00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:19.000 thing pretty much every time, and it's a massive amount 357 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.000 of food, and I just have to lie there like 358 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.599 a beached whale when I'm finished with it. 359 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.119 All right, So next time you want to hang out 360 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.359 with us, I'll take you to Tony Sushi and then 361 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.960 you can rate that against everything that you've had. 362 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.680 That sounds fun to me. I like the you paying part. 363 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.799 I think that's terrific. Oh my goodness. 364 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.319 Let me talk about these California Assembly Democrats very quickly. 365 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:43.079 They've announced plans to leave the social media site X 366 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:48.839 over what they say is disinformation and hate speech. Fifty 367 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:53.119 seven Democratic Assembly members announced yesterday they would stop all 368 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:58.160 communications from their official state accounts on X, citing their 369 00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:03.839 concerns over lack of content moderation, disinformation and hate speech. 370 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:09.920 Quote and this is California Assembly Speaker Robert Reeves. There 371 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.759 are real risks with relying on a private company owned 372 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:16.359 by Elon Musk as a channel for communications. Democracy depends 373 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:20.960 on impartial information, not the shifting whims of one billionaire. 374 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.880 Hate speech is everywhere on X. The company has no accountability, 375 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.720 and the flood of misinformation from fake accounts is just 376 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.279 that fake I don't think taxpayer resources should go to 377 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:36.319 X close quote. When he says taxpayer resources, he's probably 378 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.160 talking about for any of these government accounts. I think 379 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:43.400 they have to pay to get their check mark. And 380 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.480 that's part of the reason why when Elon Musky came in, 381 00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:49.640 he changed the whole check mark process. All the people 382 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.279 who had legacy checks like me, we lost our checks 383 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.240 and you had to pay for your checks. And yeah, 384 00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.119 I left X, but it had to do with the 385 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.400 hate speech and the left of content moderation. I don't 386 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:05.039 care too much about the disinformation because I don't think 387 00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:10.440 of Twitter, not call it X Twitter as a news 388 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.960 dissemination platform. It is social media. You kind of get 389 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.079 what you get and you can either put up with 390 00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.279 it or not. But I don't hold Twitter to some 391 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:24.480 standard where it needs to filter out disinformation. I'm quite 392 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.799 sure Mark would disagree with me. 393 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.319 I worked on this story last night, actually, and there 394 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.799 was a quote in the story about hate speech on 395 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:35.480 Twitter having increased by fifty percent right after Elon Musk 396 00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:39.279 bought the platform, and his own GROC has found him 397 00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:43.039 to be the biggest spreader of disinformation on it as well. 398 00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:45.839 Now I'm still on there, not in any capacity for KFI, 399 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.680 just as a private schmo. And there's still some good 400 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.559 information to be had on there if you follow the 401 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.599
