the fact.

It's going to be live.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
The train wreck is going to happen live and in

I just know that we're going to do it. We're

We'll do it live. That's gonna be on Monday. But time,
of course, this time seven o'clock, same bad time, different
back Channel's gonna have a big weekend in front of me,
(01:11):
and I hope you have a big weekend plan for yourself.
I know, given the tariff news and the stock market,
people might be a little bit on edge. People might
be done with news or at least hearing bad news
and I can understand that. I can empathize with that.
I mean, I had a week as well. Not even
(01:31):
gonna get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I just had a long week.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And after this long week, up to come in and
look at Mark Ronner and it's like, damn, you're welcome, Hi,
mister Ronner.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
How you doing tonight? I'm okay.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I usually watch horror movies on the weekend, but instead
I think I'll just check my.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Four to oh one K. But horror movies aren't real.
That horror is real.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Roller coaster, Oh my goodness, and it's gonna be going
for quite some time. I'm quite sure, but I'm not
going to start there. I just want to make sure
I let my boys know, my family know. I appreciate
you Twalla sharp producers to show how you doing tonight?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Fantastic Glad to have made it to this fantastic Friday.
A lot of fun in store. This is what I
do to have fun. People say, so, what do you
do for fun? We have fun, Lady with mo Kelly.
This is our fun.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
No disrespect to anyone else, no disrespect to anyone else.
But I struggle to imagine anyone who has more fun
than we do.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know. I could be wrong. I doubt it.
I doubt it. We have way too much fun, way
too much fun. Let me put it this way.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
We'll hang out together, We'll text each other at all
hours of the night, usually inappropriate things, but you know,
we enjoy each other's company and hopefully you enjoy our company. Now,
this weekend is gonna be full for me because I
have to teach hop keto from nine to noon, and
then I'm going to go out to Torrents for the
bunk A Side Japanese Cultural Festival. Gonna get some good food,
(02:59):
watch it judo presentation and all sorts of things, get
more exposed to Japanese culture.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And then Sunday I'm gonna be at Wiggle Waggle Walk.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I hope to see you, So if you come out
on Sunday to brook Brookside Park, I'll be out there
with my wife and my two dogs, Riley and Benson.
Riley will be the one who's always barking at everyone
and everything, very difficult to control.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Has no. He's a badass kid. That's gonna wha I
can describe it. He is still Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
He was a pandemic dog, so he had like the
first eight months of his life not being acclimated to
people other than me and my wife and my immediate family.
So everyone is a threat. Everyone is like, and we
go outside, we're going to walk. Anytime he's on the leash,
we say no barking, no barking. You know, if you
make any type of if you could be walking across
(03:52):
the street away in a different direction, he's gonna bark uncontrollably,
like you're a threat.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's like person, person person. Ah, It's like, yes, Raley,
I know person.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So he will be there Sunday and you won't You
won't need to ask which one is Benson and which
one's Riley. Benson is the one who's usually relatively quiet
and well behaved. Riley is the one who's rambunctious. He's fat,
and he's just barking into everything and every one. At
least when he's on a leash. It'll be a good time.
(04:24):
It's good to get them out and have them run
around as best they can and get some dog treats
and everything. So come join me at least at Brookside
Park this Sunday for Wiggle Waggle Dog Walk. I will
be out there I don't think like maybe nine am
or so, I'm not gonna go on the actual walk.
I'm just gonna be there having the dogs walk me.
(04:47):
It's gonna it's gonna be a full, full weekend. What
do you have on tap uh Sunday?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I will be in uh Alta Dina finishing clearing out
my house. So I'll be around nine emptying out house,
throwing stuff away, and trying to prepare the house for
some deep cleaning and sanding and hopefully some revitalization maybe
within the next month or two, two months, three four,
(05:17):
maybe five months, six, maybe who knows what we'll be back.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah. I sympathize and empathize because I saw your neighborhood.
It doesn't exist. Now. Yeah, that's a bad look. It's
a bad look.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
But and this is why I can tell you for
a fact that even in this God is good, because
every time I go back to the neighborhood, I'm running
into one of my neighbors whose entire house burned down.
There is no structure to speak of. Who remind me
that our house is a reminder of what the neighborhood
(05:54):
looked like. My house, the few houses that are there.
It's like about five have houses there. They say, like,
this is what the neighborhood look like. We can even
reimagine what rebuilding looks like because these houses are here.
That is a sobering thought right there. M So it's
not as exciting as wiggle waggle walk, but we'll be
(06:15):
in the same neighborhood for the most part.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh, you and I were talking out there. You know,
it's just things, but sometimes they're very important things.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm I'm still
fighting mad about your thing though, well, because your thing
had disrespect tied into you.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
We're not gonna talk about that. I'm in a decent
mood right now. I'm trying to keep it right there.
Hey Stephen, what you got into? What you What are
you going to get into this weekend?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Oh? Nothing exciting. It's always just this and then do
an uber. Oh you are driving regularly again, Yeah, it's
it's a regular thing now on the weekends. Wow. When
do you sleep? Do you sleep?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Kind of like Nick, just try to sleep when I can,
but otherwise I'm always working.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You do have a full time job, you know, Yeah, exactly,
you have a full time job, and You've said it
on air before you help care for your father. Yeah,
that has amount of time associating with it as well,
and you do an uber I don't know, top of that,
trying to get like me. And then there's like Mark
(07:20):
Roner who doesn't do anything except you know, watch movies
all day.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's it. I just stay in a fetal position the
whole weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I thought about Mark though.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Because the my my my Google thing said to be
oh check out uh top what is it? Top secret,
top secret with Valcimer Valculmer.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, and it was on to B. Yeah, that's got
Peter Cushing in it. That's a fun movie.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's fun. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was just revealing it today and speaking of Val
Kilmer during our game of name that movie called Classic. Tonight,
all the movies will be Val Kilmer as we salute
him and celebrate him his tremendous talent and wonderful contributions
to the world of cinema. All the movies, all ten
will be Val Kilmer movies. That's the good news.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
The bad news is we don't have any prizes for you.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
You know, hey, Mark, Mark, we can give away pints
of your blood if you like, or we can give
away locks of your luscious hair.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I got dark real fast, isn't it. I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You know, if we're all manning playing for fun, we
can always give away pieces of mark.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We all know that there's a caller in George would
love to get a piece of mark.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Of hair. Okay, let's just tamp that down. We didn't
stay from the top of your head either. How do
you know there's any anywhere else? Go ahead, go ahead
correct me if you like, I'll show you. Let me
just say no.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Thank god, we don't have the YouTube stream luck. Yeah, okay,
all right, we got that and so much more. We
come back.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We're going to talk about this controversial possible ban which
we could be coming down.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
We're teenagers.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Teenagers could be banned from writing in the front seat.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No more calling shotgun. Distinct possibility. We'll tell you about
it next.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Don't you remember growing up yelling shotgun?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Someone goes to the car, and you know someone has
to sit in the front seat, right, so someone has
to claim the front seat. So I got shotgun, I
got shotgun. I remember doing that. That may be going
away for a lot of people, depending on how old
you are and depending on how tall you are. Get
this and when Tauala showed me this story, I said,
(09:47):
this can't be real. This can't be real, advocates. Traffic
safety advocates are pushing for a controversial bill that would
ban teens up to sixteen years old from sitting in
the front seat if they're not at least four feet
nine inches. The bill would require all children younger than
(10:11):
ten to use booster seats and would bar all those
under thirteen from sitting in the front seat period. The
pending measure also would require children as old as thirteen
to use a booster seat unless they meet the height
(10:32):
criteria be four feet nine inches. If you don't know,
current California law requires children to use booster seats until
they turn eight or reach a height of four feet
nine inches, though the California Highway Patrol recommends all children
younger than thirteen to sit in the back. I wonder
how would that work. Well, it wouldn't work because I
had a two seater back in the day. I had
(10:53):
a Honda S two thousand. There was no back seat.
So are we saying that, Well, I guess it is
saying that if if you're not four feet nine and
you're under the age of sixteen, sixteen and under, your
ass is going to have to get in the back
put him in the trunk. Well, it's interesting you said that,
because we did a lot of stupid stuff back in
(11:15):
the day.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
The drive in, trick noding, just riding the trunk.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You've never ridden in a trunk.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I think I hid in a wheel well to get
into a drive in for free once.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I've been in a trunk. I'm not gonna tell you why,
but I was in a trunk. I've been in the
back of a pickup truck like seven other people. It
was a Nissan. How they dropped and lowered their and
we were back in the back of the bed of
the truck.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
That's always safe.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It was not safe at all, not even a little
bit safe. But we did it, and I'm here to
say I'm still alive. I drank water out of the
garden hose.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Damn it too. You played with Jerts, Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I threw him straight up in the air and dodged
them when they came down.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I played with firecrackers as well.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And mumblety peg, all the old time dangerous stuff.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
I just don't understand how we got to the point where, hey,
you're fifteen, your ass has to sit in the back seat.
I remember growing up, cars didn't even have seat belts,
and they had those bench seats.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yes, this was pre bucket seats. This is pre Ralph
Nader when you.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Grew up, even before the bucket seats. I remember my
mom's Dots and B two ten. We did not have
to have the seatbelt on the back of that leather
seated monstrosity. That thing was so hot to make you sick.
You had to be too tin man. Secondly to like
(12:46):
the Pinto or the Gremlins, but those are beautiful.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
If you're not old enough to remember, Nissan used to
be Dotson, and I know someone like under the age
of thirties like, what's a Dotson. It's a pre Nissan,
that's what's gonna But you know, Dotson were some of
the earlier Japanese cars in America. It was Honda and
Dotson at forty and then I think Toyota came later.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I had a two eighty Z in college. Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I mean, this was so sporty. Well, it was a
rusted out pilot craft. It was. It was a two eighties.
The two eighties and the three hundreds were fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But that's a great point because that was another two
seater car that she would not be able to take
a teenager to school. It now, Tuala, your daughter is
tall enough given this.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yes, when we first saw this, I was like, man like,
I like picking her up and saying, hey, get in
the front, especially because I don't like looking like uber
like I'm just picking up some kid and they're in
the backseat of our car and no, I'm like, get
in the front.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I am not your chauffeur. But when I saw this, I.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Said, damn, now she's gonna be like, ah, now I
can't get in the front. But because she is like
five to three now now she was five to one
when I last saw her.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yes, no, she like that. That's good, like that, that's
something like that. Like that. God, I don't think this
is going to pass. I don't think it's going to
get to the point where it's going to pass. I
hope it doesn't happen. You know, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
look where we're at right now.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I know, we never thought we'd be where we are
right now.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, yeah, nothing should surprise anyone at this point. Yes,
but I'm glad that I won't have to deal with
it ostensibly unless I'm taking someone else's very young kids somewhere,
which is possible, and you know, if we're if I'm
transporting students to a tournament or something like that, right
that might be an issue. But I just can't imagine
(14:35):
putting a thirteen year old in a car seat.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I just can't. Well, I mean, this is this right here.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
To me, this comes from the same mindset of the band,
the food dies and the vendue machines at the schools
and where there's other things to worry about, the same
kind of individuals who think that that's where we need
to be at they.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Come up with stuff like this.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They're proposing that violators would face tickets of twenty dollars
for a first offense and fifty dollars for each subsequent offense.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You know what, I'll take my chances. I think put in.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
A car seat, it'd be great for a teenager self
esteem too.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well, how about yeah, I have one of those booster
seats at a restaurant so they could just appear tall.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I could have been a booster seat in the front seat.
That look. It was bad enough.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Everyone's going through You're like, you're dropping your kid off
at school, and they're.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Like Dad, Dad.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Imagine them getting out of the car and with the
booster seat and plane view.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
As a twelve or thirteen year old.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, because school's not merciless enough as it is, I
would have gotten in a fight with my parents.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Lost.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Lost. Don't get me wrong. My father would have beat
my ass, but I would be going down swinging. Come
to school in your current seat today, what's the matter?
You're not four foot nine when I was growing up, No,
I wasn't, So this would have had implications. This would
have really impacted me. It was bad enough that I
wore glasses. It was bad enough that my name was
(15:58):
Morris in the nineties. Why are you laughing? You're not
supposed to be laughing.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You've got a guess too, You're not supposed to be
laughing at my name. It was bad enough.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Now, imagine rolling up to Cali Mayor Middle School in Torrence,
where my father was teaching, and he would bring me
to work because he was a band teacher. There in
his little dookie brown Honda. It was one of those
real tiny ones when Honda first came.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
On the scene. I don't know what I would do
if I had to open the door with a.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Car seat, yeah, or get out of the car from
the back seat.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
That would just be so no, no, no. Right now,
even still, it doesn't matter about the back seat. Kids
don't care, like because I think kids right now they
feel now more like they're being chauffeured or ubert around.
Kids don't really mind them, like literally it's a fight now. Yeah,
they're back there, just chilling, talking, doing whatever. And even
(16:58):
when I pick up, like say my daughter and her friends,
they all rush to get into the back seat. I'm like,
is there something wrong with the front seat?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't. I don't drive that crazy, I really don't.
I guess they don't want to be seen next to you. Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I think it's almost like sitting next to your parents. Ugh,
that's horrible, the torture. So they want to be in
the back. But still there are some kids who fight
for the front.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I've always wanted shotgun. I always wanted that.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I don't know, maybe because there were no distractions back
in the day when you're getting in the car. When
I was in school, we didn't have a phone. There
was no even no walk then there was. I know
it is because if you were a shotgun, you usually
had some say as far as the radio.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You had some say on the dial.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, yeah, not final say, but you had some say
because lots of time. If you got a shotgun, the
driver would give you that first test of trust to say,
finding something to listen, to find from riding music. And
if you did a good job, well that's it. You're
now the co pilot and not a shotgun. You're the
co pilot.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And that was the only type of entertainment when you're
driving back in the day. Now you know, it's not
a big deal of what's a car radio? Hey, if
I am six forty, we're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
We have some baseball news.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
When we come back Anaheim Angels, they may want to
have a well, they may change something about themselves.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I think they are gonna be trands. We'll tell you
about it when we come back.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The Angels franchise has had an identity issue since it
first came to Let's be honest, LA, because when the
Angels came to LA, they were originally the Los Angeles Angels.
From nineteen sixty one to nineteen sixty five, and then
from nineteen sixty six to nineteen ninety six they were
(18:52):
known as the California Angels. I tend to think of
them as the California Angels. Then, after Disney to control
the team in ninety seven, the team was renamed to
the Anaheim Angels. Then two thousand and five Los Angeles
Angels up Anaheim. They were named because they had a
new older owner at that point and now the president
(19:14):
owner Arty Moreno. In twenty sixteen, they were changed back
to the Los Angeles Angels. Part of the reason is
they wanted it to be identified with a larger market. Obviously,
anyone from southern California, Yes, Anaheim is then the greater
Los Angeles metro. But Anaheim is not Los Angeles as
(19:39):
in municipality. So if you talk to anyone from Orange County,
they're not claiming in Los Angeles County at all. But
when you are marketing a professional sports franchise, you want
to be able to see like for example, there's a
reason why the Patriots call themselves to New England Patriots
as opposed to the Boston Patriots, even though they're in Boston.
(20:00):
You want to be able to be attractive to a
wider demographic. If you say New England, you get your
fans from Maine and Vermont and what have you. That's
why you have the Minnesota Twins as opposed to the
Minneapolis Twins. So you have the Colorado Rockies as opposed
to the Denver Rockies. You want to make yourself as
(20:21):
appealing to a larger space and area as possible in
that regard. That's part of the reason why at one
point the Angels were known as the California Angels, not
Los Angeles or Anaheim.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But now Anaheim's mayor.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
The reason why we're talking about this Anaheim mayor actually
Aitken pend an open letter about the Angel's future but
addressed it to owner Artie Moreno, and it's called for
the team to be named for the city. It actually
represents quote acknowledge the greatness of Anaheim's history and its
(20:57):
contributions to Orange County by recognizing in all caps Anaheim
prominently as the team's location and partner.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
She's not wrong, She's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm just saying to someone who follows sports, I know
what Artie Moriner was hoping to accomplish. Now, they'll never
be on par with the Dodgers. Yes I said it,
and yes I meant it. They'll never be on par
with the Dodgers. They will always be the stepchild in
this market. It's the same with the Clippers. It's the
same with the Chargers. It's the same with the Ducks,
(21:31):
for that matter, the Harritags team Dodgers, even though the
Dodgers only got to Los Angeles a few years before
the Angels. But I understand if you live in Anaheim
and you know anything about the history of the team,
it has always been closely associated with Anaheim. Yes, it
(21:54):
may have started off as Los Angeles Angels, and it
may be now Los Angeles Angels, but they're still known,
or I should say, associated largely with Anaheim, despite any
type of naming change along the way.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I get what the mayor is doing.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I'm surprised that she did it in such a public fashion.
Maybe she had a private conversation with Arti Moreno and
already said, no, this is my team and I'm gonna
do what I want. I believe the team has far
more important issues to address, like how in the hell
did you let sho Hao Tani get away for nothing?
(22:32):
Let him walk in free agency? I mean, how did
that happen? How is it you can't get any help
for Mike Trout, who arguably is one of the greatest
players of our generation if he didn't have any so
many problems with injuries, if he played in Los Angeles
like sho Hao Tani is now as opposed to Anaheim
(22:53):
with the Angels, Mike Trout would have been huge. Much
Most people only know Mike Trout because you're a base
Everybody knows who show Hail Tani is now because he
is world famous, and that largely had to do with
him coming to the Dodgers. He was already a great
player when he played with the Angels. But Tuala, you
(23:15):
don't follow baseball closely?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay? Were you aware of sho Hal Tani before he
came to.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
The Dots, even before I knew what a show he
Atani was, even before Mike Trout?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh what het me talk about? Right?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That's the unfortunate reality for the Angels who in this market,
they will always be fighting against the Dodgers as far
as notoriety, visibility, and obviously, the Dodgers have won more
than the Angels. The Angels have won a World Series,
but they just don't have the type of profile which
(23:54):
lends itself to extensive media coverage. That's part of the
reason why our Marino decided to name the team the
Los Angeles Angels in the way that you know, you
don't say. Like back in the day, they weren't called
the Inglewood Lakers even though they played in Inglewood and
the Rams talked about the NFL football, they were still
the Los Angeles Rams when they played in Anaheim. Now
(24:17):
there's a discussion to be had about where a team
is chartered and where you want to be associated with.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And I'm gonna go real deep right now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
If you talk about NFL football, the New York Jets
and the New York Giants both play in New Jersey.
A lot of people don't know, yeah so, but the
team is chartered in New York City.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I honestly think you could call them the Anaheim Anglers
and know anymore. I really don't disrespect it. No one,
No one really cares about it. No one cares about
things as I'm sorry the Angels.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Put it this way.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Anaheim, the city really cares about the Angels. The unfortunate
truth is nobody outside of Anaheim does.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And if you're trying to market a team, and this
is not a new debate, because that's largely why the
team was called that it was changed from the Los
Angeles Angels in nineteen sixty five, changed to the California
Angels in nineteen sixty six, because even though you live
in Bakersfield, the hope was you'd have a team to
(25:33):
root for.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
You could say the California Angels.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
You may live in in Lodi or somewhere up upstate
or in clear Lake or something, and you could root
for the California Angels as opposed to the Anaheim Angels
or the Los Angeles Angels. I get both sides, and
I know if you're the mayor of Anaheim, you want
the credit to go to Anaheim. But in terms of marketing,
(25:57):
in terms of visibility, it's probably not something that Artie
Moreno wants to do or will do.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I mean, since he's had the team.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
He's always had some sort of name connection to Los Angeles,
the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim or the Los Angeles
Angels as they're called now. I often have to correct
myself because I usually say the California Angels.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm just used to saying that.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Really yeah, and I don't want to give any type
of credit as being actually Los Angeles agents. I still
struggle saying Los Angeles Chargers. There's San Diego, just like
the Clippers. There's San Diego. I don't care if they
play in LA. I don't care what Michael Krozer thinks.
Oh he's listening right now. Those are the San Diego Clippers.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I don't really acknowledge any other team outside of Dodgers, Lakers, Kings.
Thank you, Yeah, I don't. There's certain things that I
just don't. And I don't have to be a sports aficionado.
I don't have to, you know, watch every game or
have sports pass. I just know when it comes to
so od Cal and our teams, those are our teams. Now,
(27:05):
there is some debate to be had on which is
the greater Los Angeles football team between the Rams and
the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The Raiders
are here for five minutes.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
They're here for a cup of coffee, and they dominated.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
We break becau. We're gonna have to misunderstanding in the studio.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
We were doing so well, okay, I could, I could
understand you with everything else, but the Raiders. That's a
bridge too far. And I'm looking at Mark Rynerson like
just please, let's just go to the news. I hate sports. No,
this is fascinating. Please continue. It's Later with mo Kelly
ca if I A six forty. We are live everywhere
the iHeartRadio app. Now we got to talk about coyotes
when we come back, to be serious, because there are
(27:48):
some issues which are going on in a Pasadena neighborhood.
And also there was a very prominent actress who had
her dog taken by a coyote just days ago.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I'll tell you about that when we come back.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM Sixtyfi.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Mister moo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
and starting Monday on YouTube at mister mo Kelly. And
we've talked about coyotes and how for me, they're very problematic.
Some people think that they're pets, extended pets, and they'll
feed them, they will cater to them. Coyotes in my neighborhood.
(28:32):
They go around my house and I've shown to all
of the video every single night, two or three at
a time. They are pack hunters and I have two
small dogs, and what separates them is a fence which
is ten feet high, so it's too high for them
to jump, but they eventually, hopefully will not get smart
(28:54):
enough to come all the way around the neighborhood and
try to jump in through the other side of the fence.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
That's my and I've said it many times, and I
have no problem saying it since.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
We can't do anything about them legally, because it's not
like I can call three one one and they'll do
something about them. Oh yeah, you can pay for someone
to put down traps, but that's really expensive.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But they keep coming back.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Part of the reason why I keep they keep coming
back is they know it's a constant food source when
people have their trash cans out, which I'm not blaming
people for, but I do blame those individuals who may
feed them thinking like they're cute pets or something. No,
they're wild animals and they will harm your child and
they will harm your pets. I mentioned that because in
(29:40):
Pasadena there is a neighborhood who is being terrorized by
multiple coyotes chasing people and their dogs. And this is
right at Euclid Avenue and California Boulevard. I know it well,
and they're me out in the daytime, they're coming out
(30:02):
in the evening. They're chasing after people who are walking
their dogs. And when I walk my dogs, it doesn't
matter day or night. I have a stick weapon that
I'm ready to use on them. And it's not that
I would use it on someone else's pet dog. I'll
just use my feet to just push them away. But
if it's a coyote and it should run at us,
(30:23):
I need to have something other than just my hands.
This is going to be this is going to be
a problem. No, no, yeah, this is going to be
a problem up until someone's child gets harmed. Then they'll
say we need to do something. And I've had some
fun with this, but now I'm being absolutely serious about this.
There's an actress, her David Sarah Shaki. You may know
(30:46):
her from Paradise. She was on the show Paradise, who
played the psychologist. She was on a Netflix series show
called sex Life. She starred opposite of Duaye Johnson and
Black Adam, female love interest in Black Adam.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
She lost her dog this week.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
She was talking about it on social media, how very
small dog was taken by a coyote.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
To have that on video and hearing your dog die.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Is something that I could not even imagine, don't even
want to imagine. But some of this is avoidable because
we've tolerated the coyotes. There's no need for them. I mean,
there's no need to tolerate them. They should be treated
as a menace and rounded up when they're found and
relocated somewhere where they cannot hurt people, pets, small children.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Tawala.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That's just my experience, and I see coyotes every single
day around my house.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I can't even speak for your experiences in Pasadena and
Alzadan of the blood curdling cries of animals being murdered
at night by coyotes, murdered during the day by coyotes,
the yip yip yip, and the how to call others
to come around so they can pack rat and animal
(32:12):
and now during the daytime and Euclid in California. Those
areas are not near the mountains now they're not coming
down into the city, meaning that a lot of the
damage from the fire, a lot of where the coyotes
were finding their mills by homeowners who are, oh, we've
built our homes in their neighborhoods, now we must help
(32:35):
to feed them. All those individuals who want to lay
out food for the coyotes and their dogs and the
raccoons and every other crita that comes around. Now these
coyotes don't have that because all of that is burned down.
So now they're forced to go further inland, coming down
from the mountains to force for food. And they've already
(32:56):
been desensitized and they no longer fear humans. So you
walking with your dog, it's like, well, you're one of
those things that feed us.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Why am I worried about you.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
I'm here for your dog, I'm here for that snack
that you're walking around on a rope.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
And they're more desperate because in certain areas of outa
data there's no more neighborhood, there's no normal trash pickup. Yeah,
they're not the people who there who would be there
feeding them, or the dog food which may be left
in someone's backyard that they may be using as an
opportunity to eat. They're much more desperate, which means they're
(33:34):
much more dangerous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they absolutely are.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
And still though I don't see from any reports what
is actually gonna happen in Pasadena or Altadena to do
something about these animals, because trapping and releasing them isn't working.
You can't kill them if you're lucky enough to run
one down. Okay, but these these are fast.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
They're hard to hit one, they're fast, and they reduce
relatively quickly.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They live I think maybe five or six years.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I don't know how long, but you know, they they
can find they can develop a population rather quickly, and
you ask, you know, what what is going to be
done or when is something going to be done? When
someone gets hurt, when someone's child is attacked, and not
before you know do you have plenty of pet attacks
and obviously that's not enough to motivate our local governments
(34:28):
to do anything. You'll have someone unfortunately who have will
have their child attacked, and then they'll feel the need
to do something, but not before it's later. With mo

and I hope you have a big weekend plan for yourself.
I know, given the tariff news and the stock market,
people might be a little bit on edge. People might
be done with news or at least hearing bad news
and I can understand that. I can empathize with that.
I mean, I had a week as well. Not even
(01:31):
gonna get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I just had a long week.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And after this long week, up to come in and
look at Mark Ronner and it's like, damn, you're welcome, Hi,
mister Ronner.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
How you doing tonight? I'm okay.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I usually watch horror movies on the weekend, but instead
I think I'll just check my.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Four to oh one K. But horror movies aren't real.
That horror is real.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Roller coaster, Oh my goodness, and it's gonna be going
for quite some time. I'm quite sure, but I'm not
going to start there. I just want to make sure
I let my boys know, my family know. I appreciate
you Twalla sharp producers to show how you doing tonight?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Fantastic Glad to have made it to this fantastic Friday.
A lot of fun in store. This is what I
do to have fun. People say, so, what do you
do for fun? We have fun, Lady with mo Kelly.
This is our fun.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
No disrespect to anyone else, no disrespect to anyone else.
But I struggle to imagine anyone who has more fun
than we do.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know. I could be wrong. I doubt it.
I doubt it. We have way too much fun, way
too much fun. Let me put it this way.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
We'll hang out together, We'll text each other at all
hours of the night, usually inappropriate things, but you know,
we enjoy each other's company and hopefully you enjoy our company. Now,
this weekend is gonna be full for me because I
have to teach hop keto from nine to noon, and
then I'm going to go out to Torrents for the
bunk A Side Japanese Cultural Festival. Gonna get some good food,
(02:59):
watch it judo presentation and all sorts of things, get
more exposed to Japanese culture.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And then Sunday I'm gonna be at Wiggle Waggle Walk.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I hope to see you, So if you come out
on Sunday to brook Brookside Park, I'll be out there
with my wife and my two dogs, Riley and Benson.
Riley will be the one who's always barking at everyone
and everything, very difficult to control.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Has no. He's a badass kid. That's gonna wha I
can describe it. He is still Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
He was a pandemic dog, so he had like the
first eight months of his life not being acclimated to
people other than me and my wife and my immediate family.
So everyone is a threat. Everyone is like, and we
go outside, we're going to walk. Anytime he's on the leash,
we say no barking, no barking. You know, if you
make any type of if you could be walking across
(03:52):
the street away in a different direction, he's gonna bark uncontrollably,
like you're a threat.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's like person, person person. Ah, It's like, yes, Raley,
I know person.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So he will be there Sunday and you won't You
won't need to ask which one is Benson and which
one's Riley. Benson is the one who's usually relatively quiet
and well behaved. Riley is the one who's rambunctious. He's fat,
and he's just barking into everything and every one. At
least when he's on a leash. It'll be a good time.
(04:24):
It's good to get them out and have them run
around as best they can and get some dog treats
and everything. So come join me at least at Brookside
Park this Sunday for Wiggle Waggle Dog Walk. I will
be out there I don't think like maybe nine am
or so, I'm not gonna go on the actual walk.
I'm just gonna be there having the dogs walk me.
(04:47):
It's gonna it's gonna be a full, full weekend. What
do you have on tap uh Sunday?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I will be in uh Alta Dina finishing clearing out
my house. So I'll be around nine emptying out house,
throwing stuff away, and trying to prepare the house for
some deep cleaning and sanding and hopefully some revitalization maybe
within the next month or two, two months, three four,
(05:17):
maybe five months, six, maybe who knows what we'll be back.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah. I sympathize and empathize because I saw your neighborhood.
It doesn't exist. Now. Yeah, that's a bad look. It's
a bad look.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
But and this is why I can tell you for
a fact that even in this God is good, because
every time I go back to the neighborhood, I'm running
into one of my neighbors whose entire house burned down.
There is no structure to speak of. Who remind me
that our house is a reminder of what the neighborhood
(05:54):
looked like. My house, the few houses that are there.
It's like about five have houses there. They say, like,
this is what the neighborhood look like. We can even
reimagine what rebuilding looks like because these houses are here.
That is a sobering thought right there. M So it's
not as exciting as wiggle waggle walk, but we'll be
(06:15):
in the same neighborhood for the most part.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh, you and I were talking out there. You know,
it's just things, but sometimes they're very important things.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm I'm still
fighting mad about your thing though, well, because your thing
had disrespect tied into you.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
We're not gonna talk about that. I'm in a decent
mood right now. I'm trying to keep it right there.
Hey Stephen, what you got into? What you What are
you going to get into this weekend?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Oh? Nothing exciting. It's always just this and then do
an uber. Oh you are driving regularly again, Yeah, it's
it's a regular thing now on the weekends. Wow. When
do you sleep? Do you sleep?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Kind of like Nick, just try to sleep when I can,
but otherwise I'm always working.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You do have a full time job, you know, Yeah, exactly,
you have a full time job, and You've said it
on air before you help care for your father. Yeah,
that has amount of time associating with it as well,
and you do an uber I don't know, top of that,
trying to get like me. And then there's like Mark
(07:20):
Roner who doesn't do anything except you know, watch movies
all day.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's it. I just stay in a fetal position the
whole weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I thought about Mark though.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Because the my my my Google thing said to be
oh check out uh top what is it? Top secret,
top secret with Valcimer Valculmer.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, and it was on to B. Yeah, that's got
Peter Cushing in it. That's a fun movie.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's fun. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was just revealing it today and speaking of Val
Kilmer during our game of name that movie called Classic. Tonight,
all the movies will be Val Kilmer as we salute
him and celebrate him his tremendous talent and wonderful contributions
to the world of cinema. All the movies, all ten
will be Val Kilmer movies. That's the good news.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
The bad news is we don't have any prizes for you.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
You know, hey, Mark, Mark, we can give away pints
of your blood if you like, or we can give
away locks of your luscious hair.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I got dark real fast, isn't it. I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You know, if we're all manning playing for fun, we
can always give away pieces of mark.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We all know that there's a caller in George would
love to get a piece of mark.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Of hair. Okay, let's just tamp that down. We didn't
stay from the top of your head either. How do
you know there's any anywhere else? Go ahead, go ahead
correct me if you like, I'll show you. Let me
just say no.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Thank god, we don't have the YouTube stream luck. Yeah, okay,
all right, we got that and so much more. We
come back.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We're going to talk about this controversial possible ban which
we could be coming down.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
We're teenagers.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Teenagers could be banned from writing in the front seat.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No more calling shotgun. Distinct possibility. We'll tell you about
it next.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Don't you remember growing up yelling shotgun?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Someone goes to the car, and you know someone has
to sit in the front seat, right, so someone has
to claim the front seat. So I got shotgun, I
got shotgun. I remember doing that. That may be going
away for a lot of people, depending on how old
you are and depending on how tall you are. Get
this and when Tauala showed me this story, I said,
(09:47):
this can't be real. This can't be real, advocates. Traffic
safety advocates are pushing for a controversial bill that would
ban teens up to sixteen years old from sitting in
the front seat if they're not at least four feet
nine inches. The bill would require all children younger than
(10:11):
ten to use booster seats and would bar all those
under thirteen from sitting in the front seat period. The
pending measure also would require children as old as thirteen
to use a booster seat unless they meet the height
(10:32):
criteria be four feet nine inches. If you don't know,
current California law requires children to use booster seats until
they turn eight or reach a height of four feet
nine inches, though the California Highway Patrol recommends all children
younger than thirteen to sit in the back. I wonder
how would that work. Well, it wouldn't work because I
had a two seater back in the day. I had
(10:53):
a Honda S two thousand. There was no back seat.
So are we saying that, Well, I guess it is
saying that if if you're not four feet nine and
you're under the age of sixteen, sixteen and under, your
ass is going to have to get in the back
put him in the trunk. Well, it's interesting you said that,
because we did a lot of stupid stuff back in
(11:15):
the day.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
The drive in, trick noding, just riding the trunk.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You've never ridden in a trunk.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I think I hid in a wheel well to get
into a drive in for free once.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I've been in a trunk. I'm not gonna tell you why,
but I was in a trunk. I've been in the
back of a pickup truck like seven other people. It
was a Nissan. How they dropped and lowered their and
we were back in the back of the bed of
the truck.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
That's always safe.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It was not safe at all, not even a little
bit safe. But we did it, and I'm here to
say I'm still alive. I drank water out of the
garden hose.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Damn it too. You played with Jerts, Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I threw him straight up in the air and dodged
them when they came down.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I played with firecrackers as well.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And mumblety peg, all the old time dangerous stuff.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
I just don't understand how we got to the point where, hey,
you're fifteen, your ass has to sit in the back seat.
I remember growing up, cars didn't even have seat belts,
and they had those bench seats.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yes, this was pre bucket seats. This is pre Ralph
Nader when you.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Grew up, even before the bucket seats. I remember my
mom's Dots and B two ten. We did not have
to have the seatbelt on the back of that leather
seated monstrosity. That thing was so hot to make you sick.
You had to be too tin man. Secondly to like
(12:46):
the Pinto or the Gremlins, but those are beautiful.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
If you're not old enough to remember, Nissan used to
be Dotson, and I know someone like under the age
of thirties like, what's a Dotson. It's a pre Nissan,
that's what's gonna But you know, Dotson were some of
the earlier Japanese cars in America. It was Honda and
Dotson at forty and then I think Toyota came later.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I had a two eighty Z in college. Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I mean, this was so sporty. Well, it was a
rusted out pilot craft. It was. It was a two eighties.
The two eighties and the three hundreds were fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But that's a great point because that was another two
seater car that she would not be able to take
a teenager to school. It now, Tuala, your daughter is
tall enough given this.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yes, when we first saw this, I was like, man like,
I like picking her up and saying, hey, get in
the front, especially because I don't like looking like uber
like I'm just picking up some kid and they're in
the backseat of our car and no, I'm like, get
in the front.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I am not your chauffeur. But when I saw this, I.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Said, damn, now she's gonna be like, ah, now I
can't get in the front. But because she is like
five to three now now she was five to one
when I last saw her.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yes, no, she like that. That's good, like that, that's
something like that. Like that. God, I don't think this
is going to pass. I don't think it's going to
get to the point where it's going to pass. I
hope it doesn't happen. You know, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
look where we're at right now.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I know, we never thought we'd be where we are
right now.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, yeah, nothing should surprise anyone at this point. Yes,
but I'm glad that I won't have to deal with
it ostensibly unless I'm taking someone else's very young kids somewhere,
which is possible, and you know, if we're if I'm
transporting students to a tournament or something like that, right
that might be an issue. But I just can't imagine
(14:35):
putting a thirteen year old in a car seat.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I just can't. Well, I mean, this is this right here.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
To me, this comes from the same mindset of the band,
the food dies and the vendue machines at the schools
and where there's other things to worry about, the same
kind of individuals who think that that's where we need
to be at they.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Come up with stuff like this.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They're proposing that violators would face tickets of twenty dollars
for a first offense and fifty dollars for each subsequent offense.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You know what, I'll take my chances. I think put in.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
A car seat, it'd be great for a teenager self
esteem too.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well, how about yeah, I have one of those booster
seats at a restaurant so they could just appear tall.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I could have been a booster seat in the front seat.
That look. It was bad enough.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Everyone's going through You're like, you're dropping your kid off
at school, and they're.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Like Dad, Dad.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Imagine them getting out of the car and with the
booster seat and plane view.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
As a twelve or thirteen year old.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, because school's not merciless enough as it is, I
would have gotten in a fight with my parents.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Lost.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Lost. Don't get me wrong. My father would have beat
my ass, but I would be going down swinging. Come
to school in your current seat today, what's the matter?
You're not four foot nine when I was growing up, No,
I wasn't, So this would have had implications. This would
have really impacted me. It was bad enough that I
wore glasses. It was bad enough that my name was
(15:58):
Morris in the nineties. Why are you laughing? You're not
supposed to be laughing.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You've got a guess too, You're not supposed to be
laughing at my name. It was bad enough.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Now, imagine rolling up to Cali Mayor Middle School in Torrence,
where my father was teaching, and he would bring me
to work because he was a band teacher. There in
his little dookie brown Honda. It was one of those
real tiny ones when Honda first came.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
On the scene. I don't know what I would do
if I had to open the door with a.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Car seat, yeah, or get out of the car from
the back seat.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
That would just be so no, no, no. Right now,
even still, it doesn't matter about the back seat. Kids
don't care, like because I think kids right now they
feel now more like they're being chauffeured or ubert around.
Kids don't really mind them, like literally it's a fight now. Yeah,
they're back there, just chilling, talking, doing whatever. And even
(16:58):
when I pick up, like say my daughter and her friends,
they all rush to get into the back seat. I'm like,
is there something wrong with the front seat?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't. I don't drive that crazy, I really don't.
I guess they don't want to be seen next to you. Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I think it's almost like sitting next to your parents. Ugh,
that's horrible, the torture. So they want to be in
the back. But still there are some kids who fight
for the front.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I've always wanted shotgun. I always wanted that.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I don't know, maybe because there were no distractions back
in the day when you're getting in the car. When
I was in school, we didn't have a phone. There
was no even no walk then there was. I know
it is because if you were a shotgun, you usually
had some say as far as the radio.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You had some say on the dial.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, yeah, not final say, but you had some say
because lots of time. If you got a shotgun, the
driver would give you that first test of trust to say,
finding something to listen, to find from riding music. And
if you did a good job, well that's it. You're
now the co pilot and not a shotgun. You're the
co pilot.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And that was the only type of entertainment when you're
driving back in the day. Now you know, it's not
a big deal of what's a car radio? Hey, if
I am six forty, we're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
We have some baseball news.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
When we come back Anaheim Angels, they may want to
have a well, they may change something about themselves.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I think they are gonna be trands. We'll tell you
about it when we come back.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The Angels franchise has had an identity issue since it
first came to Let's be honest, LA, because when the
Angels came to LA, they were originally the Los Angeles Angels.
From nineteen sixty one to nineteen sixty five, and then
from nineteen sixty six to nineteen ninety six they were
(18:52):
known as the California Angels. I tend to think of
them as the California Angels. Then, after Disney to control
the team in ninety seven, the team was renamed to
the Anaheim Angels. Then two thousand and five Los Angeles
Angels up Anaheim. They were named because they had a
new older owner at that point and now the president
(19:14):
owner Arty Moreno. In twenty sixteen, they were changed back
to the Los Angeles Angels. Part of the reason is
they wanted it to be identified with a larger market. Obviously,
anyone from southern California, Yes, Anaheim is then the greater
Los Angeles metro. But Anaheim is not Los Angeles as
(19:39):
in municipality. So if you talk to anyone from Orange County,
they're not claiming in Los Angeles County at all. But
when you are marketing a professional sports franchise, you want
to be able to see like for example, there's a
reason why the Patriots call themselves to New England Patriots
as opposed to the Boston Patriots, even though they're in Boston.
(20:00):
You want to be able to be attractive to a
wider demographic. If you say New England, you get your
fans from Maine and Vermont and what have you. That's
why you have the Minnesota Twins as opposed to the
Minneapolis Twins. So you have the Colorado Rockies as opposed
to the Denver Rockies. You want to make yourself as
(20:21):
appealing to a larger space and area as possible in
that regard. That's part of the reason why at one
point the Angels were known as the California Angels, not
Los Angeles or Anaheim.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But now Anaheim's mayor.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
The reason why we're talking about this Anaheim mayor actually
Aitken pend an open letter about the Angel's future but
addressed it to owner Artie Moreno, and it's called for
the team to be named for the city. It actually
represents quote acknowledge the greatness of Anaheim's history and its
(20:57):
contributions to Orange County by recognizing in all caps Anaheim
prominently as the team's location and partner.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
She's not wrong, She's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm just saying to someone who follows sports, I know
what Artie Moriner was hoping to accomplish. Now, they'll never
be on par with the Dodgers. Yes I said it,
and yes I meant it. They'll never be on par
with the Dodgers. They will always be the stepchild in
this market. It's the same with the Clippers. It's the
same with the Chargers. It's the same with the Ducks,
(21:31):
for that matter, the Harritags team Dodgers, even though the
Dodgers only got to Los Angeles a few years before
the Angels. But I understand if you live in Anaheim
and you know anything about the history of the team,
it has always been closely associated with Anaheim. Yes, it
(21:54):
may have started off as Los Angeles Angels, and it
may be now Los Angeles Angels, but they're still known,
or I should say, associated largely with Anaheim, despite any
type of naming change along the way.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I get what the mayor is doing.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I'm surprised that she did it in such a public fashion.
Maybe she had a private conversation with Arti Moreno and
already said, no, this is my team and I'm gonna
do what I want. I believe the team has far
more important issues to address, like how in the hell
did you let sho Hao Tani get away for nothing?
(22:32):
Let him walk in free agency? I mean, how did
that happen? How is it you can't get any help
for Mike Trout, who arguably is one of the greatest
players of our generation if he didn't have any so
many problems with injuries, if he played in Los Angeles
like sho Hao Tani is now as opposed to Anaheim
(22:53):
with the Angels, Mike Trout would have been huge. Much
Most people only know Mike Trout because you're a base
Everybody knows who show Hail Tani is now because he
is world famous, and that largely had to do with
him coming to the Dodgers. He was already a great
player when he played with the Angels. But Tuala, you
(23:15):
don't follow baseball closely?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay? Were you aware of sho Hal Tani before he
came to.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
The Dots, even before I knew what a show he
Atani was, even before Mike Trout?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh what het me talk about? Right?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That's the unfortunate reality for the Angels who in this market,
they will always be fighting against the Dodgers as far
as notoriety, visibility, and obviously, the Dodgers have won more
than the Angels. The Angels have won a World Series,
but they just don't have the type of profile which
(23:54):
lends itself to extensive media coverage. That's part of the
reason why our Marino decided to name the team the
Los Angeles Angels in the way that you know, you
don't say. Like back in the day, they weren't called
the Inglewood Lakers even though they played in Inglewood and
the Rams talked about the NFL football, they were still
the Los Angeles Rams when they played in Anaheim. Now
(24:17):
there's a discussion to be had about where a team
is chartered and where you want to be associated with.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And I'm gonna go real deep right now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
If you talk about NFL football, the New York Jets
and the New York Giants both play in New Jersey.
A lot of people don't know, yeah so, but the
team is chartered in New York City.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I honestly think you could call them the Anaheim Anglers
and know anymore. I really don't disrespect it. No one,
No one really cares about it. No one cares about
things as I'm sorry the Angels.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Put it this way.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Anaheim, the city really cares about the Angels. The unfortunate
truth is nobody outside of Anaheim does.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And if you're trying to market a team, and this
is not a new debate, because that's largely why the
team was called that it was changed from the Los
Angeles Angels in nineteen sixty five, changed to the California
Angels in nineteen sixty six, because even though you live
in Bakersfield, the hope was you'd have a team to
(25:33):
root for.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
You could say the California Angels.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
You may live in in Lodi or somewhere up upstate
or in clear Lake or something, and you could root
for the California Angels as opposed to the Anaheim Angels
or the Los Angeles Angels. I get both sides, and
I know if you're the mayor of Anaheim, you want
the credit to go to Anaheim. But in terms of marketing,
(25:57):
in terms of visibility, it's probably not something that Artie
Moreno wants to do or will do.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I mean, since he's had the team.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
He's always had some sort of name connection to Los Angeles,
the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim or the Los Angeles
Angels as they're called now. I often have to correct
myself because I usually say the California Angels.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm just used to saying that.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Really yeah, and I don't want to give any type
of credit as being actually Los Angeles agents. I still
struggle saying Los Angeles Chargers. There's San Diego, just like
the Clippers. There's San Diego. I don't care if they
play in LA. I don't care what Michael Krozer thinks.
Oh he's listening right now. Those are the San Diego Clippers.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I don't really acknowledge any other team outside of Dodgers, Lakers, Kings.
Thank you, Yeah, I don't. There's certain things that I
just don't. And I don't have to be a sports aficionado.
I don't have to, you know, watch every game or
have sports pass. I just know when it comes to
so od Cal and our teams, those are our teams. Now,
(27:05):
there is some debate to be had on which is
the greater Los Angeles football team between the Rams and
the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The Raiders
are here for five minutes.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
They're here for a cup of coffee, and they dominated.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
We break becau. We're gonna have to misunderstanding in the studio.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
We were doing so well, okay, I could, I could
understand you with everything else, but the Raiders. That's a
bridge too far. And I'm looking at Mark Rynerson like
just please, let's just go to the news. I hate sports. No,
this is fascinating. Please continue. It's Later with mo Kelly
ca if I A six forty. We are live everywhere
the iHeartRadio app. Now we got to talk about coyotes
when we come back, to be serious, because there are
(27:48):
some issues which are going on in a Pasadena neighborhood.
And also there was a very prominent actress who had
her dog taken by a coyote just days ago.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I'll tell you about that when we come back.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM Sixtyfi.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Mister moo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
and starting Monday on YouTube at mister mo Kelly. And
we've talked about coyotes and how for me, they're very problematic.
Some people think that they're pets, extended pets, and they'll
feed them, they will cater to them. Coyotes in my neighborhood.
(28:32):
They go around my house and I've shown to all
of the video every single night, two or three at
a time. They are pack hunters and I have two
small dogs, and what separates them is a fence which
is ten feet high, so it's too high for them
to jump, but they eventually, hopefully will not get smart
(28:54):
enough to come all the way around the neighborhood and
try to jump in through the other side of the fence.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
That's my and I've said it many times, and I
have no problem saying it since.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
We can't do anything about them legally, because it's not
like I can call three one one and they'll do
something about them. Oh yeah, you can pay for someone
to put down traps, but that's really expensive.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But they keep coming back.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Part of the reason why I keep they keep coming
back is they know it's a constant food source when
people have their trash cans out, which I'm not blaming
people for, but I do blame those individuals who may
feed them thinking like they're cute pets or something. No,
they're wild animals and they will harm your child and
they will harm your pets. I mentioned that because in
(29:40):
Pasadena there is a neighborhood who is being terrorized by
multiple coyotes chasing people and their dogs. And this is
right at Euclid Avenue and California Boulevard. I know it well,
and they're me out in the daytime, they're coming out
(30:02):
in the evening. They're chasing after people who are walking
their dogs. And when I walk my dogs, it doesn't
matter day or night. I have a stick weapon that
I'm ready to use on them. And it's not that
I would use it on someone else's pet dog. I'll
just use my feet to just push them away. But
if it's a coyote and it should run at us,
(30:23):
I need to have something other than just my hands.
This is going to be this is going to be
a problem. No, no, yeah, this is going to be
a problem up until someone's child gets harmed. Then they'll
say we need to do something. And I've had some
fun with this, but now I'm being absolutely serious about this.
There's an actress, her David Sarah Shaki. You may know
(30:46):
her from Paradise. She was on the show Paradise, who
played the psychologist. She was on a Netflix series show
called sex Life. She starred opposite of Duaye Johnson and
Black Adam, female love interest in Black Adam.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
She lost her dog this week.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
She was talking about it on social media, how very
small dog was taken by a coyote.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
To have that on video and hearing your dog die.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Is something that I could not even imagine, don't even
want to imagine. But some of this is avoidable because
we've tolerated the coyotes. There's no need for them. I mean,
there's no need to tolerate them. They should be treated
as a menace and rounded up when they're found and
relocated somewhere where they cannot hurt people, pets, small children.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Tawala.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That's just my experience, and I see coyotes every single
day around my house.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I can't even speak for your experiences in Pasadena and
Alzadan of the blood curdling cries of animals being murdered
at night by coyotes, murdered during the day by coyotes,
the yip yip yip, and the how to call others
to come around so they can pack rat and animal
(32:12):
and now during the daytime and Euclid in California. Those
areas are not near the mountains now they're not coming
down into the city, meaning that a lot of the
damage from the fire, a lot of where the coyotes
were finding their mills by homeowners who are, oh, we've
built our homes in their neighborhoods, now we must help
(32:35):
to feed them. All those individuals who want to lay
out food for the coyotes and their dogs and the
raccoons and every other crita that comes around. Now these
coyotes don't have that because all of that is burned down.
So now they're forced to go further inland, coming down
from the mountains to force for food. And they've already
(32:56):
been desensitized and they no longer fear humans. So you
walking with your dog, it's like, well, you're one of
those things that feed us.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Why am I worried about you.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
I'm here for your dog, I'm here for that snack
that you're walking around on a rope.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
And they're more desperate because in certain areas of outa
data there's no more neighborhood, there's no normal trash pickup. Yeah,
they're not the people who there who would be there
feeding them, or the dog food which may be left
in someone's backyard that they may be using as an
opportunity to eat. They're much more desperate, which means they're
(33:34):
much more dangerous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they absolutely are.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
And still though I don't see from any reports what
is actually gonna happen in Pasadena or Altadena to do
something about these animals, because trapping and releasing them isn't working.
You can't kill them if you're lucky enough to run
one down. Okay, but these these are fast.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
They're hard to hit one, they're fast, and they reduce
relatively quickly.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They live I think maybe five or six years.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I don't know how long, but you know, they they
can find they can develop a population rather quickly, and
you ask, you know, what what is going to be
done or when is something going to be done? When
someone gets hurt, when someone's child is attacked, and not
before you know do you have plenty of pet attacks
and obviously that's not enough to motivate our local governments
(34:28):
to do anything. You'll have someone unfortunately who have will
have their child attacked, and then they'll feel the need
to do something, but not before it's later. With mo
