1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Ye, Andy Reesemeyer.

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 3: Good evening, Monday, November tenth, twenty twenty five, the fiftieth

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 3: anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I gotta

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 3: tell you, I have been watching so many videos about

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 3: the Edmund Fitzgerald. I don't know, man, I just I'm

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: in it. I'm fascinated by it. Later in the show

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: we'll get into maybe some reasons why it sank. There's

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: a lot of debate over this. But also were of

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: course following the breaking news out of Washington where the

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: Senate has agreed to keep the government open at least

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: until January. That vote will go now to the House

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: and then of course the President's desk, so hopefully an

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 3: end insight there for some of the anxiety that you've

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: been seeing for people in the air traffic control were

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: people who've been flying and traveling, people who are getting

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: snapped benefits. It's been crazy, and just in time for

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: the air traffic controllers to get back to work, we

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: got a big old storm rolling across these United States.

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: Hot today. Temperatures are fifteen degrees above normal in some places.

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: La almost hit ninety degrees today, Isn't that crazy? I

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: told you I was. I was near the grove and

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: it was hot. It was like the valley. It's like November.

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: What is going on here? Temperature is starting to drop

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: down tomorrow, which is nice. Let's hear from KTLA meteorologist

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: Henry de Carlo. Who did you hear the tease he's

27
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: going to be on with Gary and Shannon tomorrow. That's

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: what they're teasing for the show tomorrow. That's how big

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: of a deal Henry to Carlo is No, how about that?

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: There? It is?

31
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: All right, let's get a check out whether it's Henry

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: kind of hard to get in the holiday spirit while

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: we're sitting here with eighty ninety degrees right right. But

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: things are going to the first half of the week

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: completely different than the back end of the week. I mean,

36
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: we're going to feel a little bit like late summer

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: with temperatures well above the average. But looks like a

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 4: pretty good rain headed our away for Friday.

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 2: So very interesting.

40
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: You know what I say about storms, No two storms

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: are ever the same. I know, they all kind of

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 4: give us the same type of you know, maybe parameters

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: as far as the amount of rain, but they all

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: have different dynamics, and this one will have a different

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 4: dynamic as well. This appears to be one of those

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: storms that when it moves through southern California, it's going

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 4: to be relatively short event, but we could get quite

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: a bit of rain in that short amount of time.

49
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 4: So flood issues always a concern for us. This is

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: something you know, I've been talking about for a week

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 4: week and a half. Right, we had the seven day forecast,

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 4: which you get every day, but every once and we'll

53
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: give you that ten day graft. We didn't see the

54
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: storm on the seven day, it was too far out,

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: but I was saying, hey, the end of that this week,

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: we're going to get some rain. And right now that

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: storms looking like it is making a move towards southern California.

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 4: So I do think unless something major changes for us

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: over the next couple of days, you can anticipate rain Thursday, Friday,

60
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: and maybe even as early as Wednesday evening. For some

61
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 4: of you went through Santa Barbara ventory County. Air quality

62
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: good to moderate. That has not been an issue.

63
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: We like that.

64
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: So we get a storm that passes to the north

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: that's in through Vancouver, so British Columbia.

66
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: I think think my main concern here with the rain

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: now is that you've got these burnscar areas which are

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: pretty extensive palisades, eaten fire, alta dina mudflow to breed

69
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: that whole thing. So the closer we get to that

70
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: will have a better update. But it's kind of hard

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: to predict with a lot of certainty rain in LA

72
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: at all. And I learned this from being a not

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: very good weather person on TV. And a lot of

74
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: that is because it's, uh, we just don't get a

75
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: lot of rain, so it's harder to predict it. Where

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: they do get a lot of weathers way out east

77
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: and millions of people being affected by what they're calling

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: a wintry blast. That is one of those television news

79
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: writing wintry blast, A cold snap.

80
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 5: Sounds like a breath mint. I need a wintry blast.

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 5: I just had some funions.

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm a cool ranch, guys, so I'm okay over here.

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 5: Oh you definitely need it. Got you're a wintry blast.

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 5: Oh you know what I love?

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: Do you remember those little postage stamp things that you

86
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: could put in your on your tongue that would melt

87
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: like the little lsd Were you dropping acid?

88
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: Is that what this is about? They were just.

89
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: Breath mints, but they came in little, tiny, disposable tape

90
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: to spenser things. Oh yeah, yeah, those were fun. Those

91
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: were fun. Think of the microplastics, think of all of it.

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's unavoidable. Why not have fun? Why

93
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: not have fun?

94

Speaker 6: Forced to be towed back to the highway.

99
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,960

00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: The uh, let's see the football game Monday night football

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: wrapping up here. We got five seconds left in the

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, low scoring game, Eagles, Green Bay Eagles ten

142
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: the Packers with seven five seconds left here, green Bay

143
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: has the ball.

144
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: It's a second and ten.

145
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: A lot of anticipation, a lot of antsiness, obviously if

146
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: there's a field goal opportunity.

147
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not.

148
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: I hadn't been watching the last there's a lot of

149
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: there's a lot of hand waven going on on the

150
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: on the field there. It's cold there. You know how

151
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: cold it is up in Green Bay.

152
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 5: But a guess, let's see factoring in climate change or

153
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: cold string in the fact that it's ninety degrees in

154
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 5: mid November here, what.

155
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: Are we going for here?

156
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: Seventy you think it's seventy degrees in Green Bay, Wisconsin

157
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: right now.

158
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: No, because climate change includes weather extremes, so it could

159
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 5: be super cold as well.

160
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: It's all over the mouth. It's twenty eight degrees right

161
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: now in Green Bay, Wisconsin. No bueno.

162
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure you know if they're going to

163
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: be able to kick a field goal here. There could

164
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: be a chance with going to overtime on Monday night football,

165
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: I don't know a better tease to make you go

166
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: turn the TV on. You could turn the TV on,

167
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 3: keep it quiet, and then listen to the radio the background.

168
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 8: How about that.

169
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: Don't drive people away?

170
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: That's what I'm right, don't I mean, but you got

171
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: to talk about Monday night football. It's Monday night. Two

172
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: seconds left here, third and ten. I'll keep you updated.

173
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: I was trying to watch the Chargers game last night

174
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: and like, call it just for practice, got him annoying.

175
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: A girlfriend wanted to kill me. I don't know enough

176
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: about sports.

177
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I can broadcast, okay, but when it comes

178
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: to like do in sports casting, man, those guys are incredible,

179
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: and you think about what's awesome what they get to do.

180
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: If you're calling a police chase, like from the helicopter

181
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: from the anchor desk. You don't have any ability to

182
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: sort of put yourself into it. You know, there should

183
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: be no theatrics. Although today watching that woman cross over

184
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: the border and all the way, all the way to Mexico,

185
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: that was pretty incredible. Field goal was unsuccessful. Their final

186
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: score ten Eagles seven Green Bay. Bummer, bummer on that

187
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 3: one for them. Cold up there, Green Bay, Wisconsin. The

188
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: opposite of cold happened, though not far in Michigan. Up

189
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: in Saginaw, or an angry customer did a very not

190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: nice thing of.

191
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 9: Scalding hot coffee at A woman is facing assault charges

192
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 9: after throwing a cup of scalding hot coffee at a

193
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 9: McDonald's manager in Michigan. It all began when the customer

194
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 9: was arguing about a breakfast order that was canceled by

195
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 9: the fast food restaurant system automatically because that service was

196
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 9: closed for the day.

197
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: WHOA that is really frustrating when they stop serving breakfast

198
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 3: at ten thirty in.

199
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: The morning.

200
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 9: Automatically because that service was closed for the day. The

201
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 9: women were told continued to argue with the manager despite

202
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 9: being told that a refund had already been issued. She's

203
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 9: then seen on video throwing a cup of hot coffee

204
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 9: at the worker before walking out. The video went viral

205
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 9: on social media and police were able to quickly identify

206
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 9: the woman after receiving more than one hundred tips in

207
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 9: a matter of minutes. One hundred they suffered minor burns.

208
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: That's terrible. I hate that Karen is such a bummer.

209
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: That that's the poor Karen's in the world who are nice.

210
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: Once twenty twenty rolled around, you couldn't be named Karen

211
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: Et anymore. You had to come up with a different name.

212
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: But this is for sure that behavior. But it reminded

213
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: me of the original hot coffee drama back in nineteen

214
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: ninety two. Remember there's a lot of conversation about Stella Libec.

215
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: She was a seventy nine year old grandmother bought a

216
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: cup of coffee at McDonald's drive through, and the story

217
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: went that she spilled the coffee on herself. Then she

218
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: sued McDonald's won a bunch of money, and that's why

219
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: they put caution hot hot coffee on the side of

220
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: the cup. It was sort of an example that a

221
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: lot of people would use. Oh it's a you know,

222
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 3: you can sue anybody in America. You could go crazy

223
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: with your lawsuits here out of control. What you didn't

224
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: know as a kid was that she had third degree

225
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: burns all over her thighs and her groin, eight days

226
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: in hospital, in the hospital rather with skin grafts.

227
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: It took her two years to recover. The details of

228
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: that were really grizzly, horrible.

229
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: But remember we all were under the impression of oh, well,

230
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: it's just bill people will sue anybody for anything.

231
00:11:59,440 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 10: Yeah.

232
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: At it was used in as an example of frivolous lawsuits.

233
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 5: But no, no, no, no, no, it was it was horrific.

234
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

235
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: Well, her medical bills were apparently somehow in nineteen ninety

236
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: two were only ten thousand dollars. McDonald's didn't cover her

237
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: request for twenty grand, so she sued, and she won

238
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: some two point seven million dollars in damages, which came

239
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: out to two days of McDonald's coffee sales back in

240
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety two. The judge went later to reduce the

241
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: total to six hundred and forty thousand dollars, and then

242
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: they settled out of court. But the legacy, of course

243
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: created then many other lawsuits over scalding drinks and other

244
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: injuries related to hot food, and in twenty twenty three,

245
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: a Florida jury gave damages to a child burned by

246
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: a chicken nugget. This situation decidedly a little bit different,

247
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

248
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: Crazy sit They're throwing all kinds of things everywhere, hot

249
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: and very cold.

250
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 7: This is what Alex plants windshield looks like after he

251
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 7: says someone threw a frozen water balloon at it while

252
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 7: he was driving.

253
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 11: It came through the window and hit me in the face.

254
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 11: Forced a lot of this glass into my face in

255
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 11: my eyes.

256
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 7: Plant says he was heading home from work around nine

257
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 7: thirty Thursday night. He was on Highway twenty near Hollwood Boulevard,

258
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 7: driving about forty five miles an hour when he says,

259
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 7: a car going the opposite direction threw something out the window.

260
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 11: I barely saw it for a quarter of a second

261
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 11: before it just came straight through.

262
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 7: He was able to pull off the highway, where he

263
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 7: had to ask Siri to call nine one one, still

264
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 7: confused about what had hit him.

265
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 11: My eyes were already starting to close up, so I

266
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 11: couldn't I couldn't even look at the phone if I

267
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 11: wanted to.

268
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 7: But the piece of white balloon stuck in the shattered glass,

269
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 7: painting a clear picture of what happened as first responders.

270
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: Man, this is a crazy world we're living in.

271
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 7: Plan was then taken to the hospital, where medical staff

272
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 7: spent hours removing shards of glass from his face and

273
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 7: his eyes.

274
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 11: I wasn't even sure I'd be able to see my family,

275
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 11: to be honest with HI was really stressful.

276
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 7: Still, he says, his vision isn't what it used to be.

277
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 12: Well.

278
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 11: Out of this right, I if I were to close

279
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 11: the left one right now, you know, everything's a little

280
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 11: bit blurry. It's hard to focus a little bit.

281
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 7: He's left questioning if his eyesight will ever look the same,

282
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 7: and why someone would do something so hurtful.

283
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 11: I was a random victim, But somebody didn't randomly do

284
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 11: this act, right, And somebody went through all that trouble

285
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 11: to like freeze it, tie it off, you know what

286
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 11: I mean, and then throw it through the windshield before

287
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 11: a defoster. That's just crazy. Somebody went through all of

288
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 11: that for just a random act of violence.

289
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so true. Because when we were kids, we

290
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: would do dumb stuff. But I think that there was

291
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: a general understanding of what the consequence of the dumb

292
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: thing would.

293
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: Be not homicide generally, absolutely not. Yeah.

294
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: Did we tpe a couple of hot girls' houses? Yes, obviously.

295
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: Did we throw some eggs at one of the North

296
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: Deanery nuns house, Yes, we did. Eggs were cheaper back

297
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: They were cheaper back then you could do things like that.

298
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: But now we're in a difference, a different world, crazy stuff,

299
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: lots more to come here.

00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 8: It's really a nice name. People usually think of Daniel

318
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 8: Boone the Explorer.

319
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're you're a little more high class than Daniel.

320
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: But I mean, I know, thank you. I appreciate no

321
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: offense to Daniel Boone. I mean, listen from the heartland,

322
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: you know, Davy Crockett style. But I'm just saying, as

323
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: far as your esthetic goes, like, do you make trousers

324
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: in your spare time?

325
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: I do not.

326
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 8: I wish I was that silences.

327
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: Oliver Boone needs to start making trousers. I think, mister Ronner,

328
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: we need to.

329
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 5: I'm more concerned about the station apparently being taken over

330
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 5: by people from Australia.

331
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say the same thing, but we've

332
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: got a Oliver your British British, yeah that is.

333
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: Don't you argue with me.

334
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: You're the new Usually it's amazing because usually the Australians

335
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: are being called British.

336
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: All right, Well, okay, Australia is the island of criminals

337
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 5: imported from that's right.

338
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: I still think that that's a roundabout way of still

339
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: being wrong. But sure, whatever, how dare you so Oliver

340
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: Boone one of those names where you have to say

341
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: the full name at once. How did you come to

Speaker 10: Further?

390

Speaker 11: In LA.

394
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: That must be a big culture shock.

395
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 8: I love it. I mean, I actually love terrible weather.

396
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 8: Though I missed the rain so much.

397
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: Well, you're wrong, but I mean I think it's nice

398
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: that you I understand. I miss seasons two and it's

399
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 3: nice to have a little overcast. We've had some nice

400
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: cloudy mornings.

401
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 8: I guess. But it's a couple hours and then I'm sweating,

402
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 8: like I like wearing, like full pints. I feel like

403
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 8: I always have to wear shorts in California.

404
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: It's the law.

405
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, although even though men should not wear shorts as

406
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: a rule, I agree with you that it is the law.

407
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 3: I hate wearing shorts. I feel like a boy scout.

408
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: I know it's a silly I look really stupid, but

409
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: it's so hot. It is, it's very hot.

410
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 5: Well, don't British people further humiliate us by referring to

411
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 5: them as short pants.

412
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 8: Oh I've never had that.

413
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 10: No.

414
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: Oh for t N.

415
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 5: I thought that really kind of infantilized even further than

416
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 5: we already were short pants.

417
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they call America's short pants, or just they called

418

419
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 10: Oh?

420
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: That's that might be different and then please don't wear

00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 5: those to work either.

422
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,240

Speaker 2: Wow.

460
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: Oh my god, you're the book. Jerald Pettyvitch is still alive.

461
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 5: I believe.

462
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: Really.

463
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 3: Hey, we're gonna take a break, but before we go,

464
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 3: I want to open up the phone lines and ask

465
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: about this new policy that Target is coming up with.

466
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: It's called the ten to four policy, and what it

467
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: may basically boils down to is that if you, as

468
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: a staff worker at Target, are within ten feet of customers,

469
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: you have to do four things. Smile, make eye contact, wave,

470
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: and use friendly and approachable welcoming body language.

471
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: Well that's creepy.

472
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 3: And then within four feet you must personally greet the guest, smile,

473
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: and initiate a warm, healthful interaction.

474
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: The number is one hundred five to two zero, one

475
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: five three four. I'm curious if you think this is a.

476
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,080

483
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: at Target, maybe you don't like this policy. Maybe you

484
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: think people need to be nicer. Is it truly nice

485
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 3: if you're being forced to do it? Mark Ronner, if

486
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: they said to you at a job, this one is

487
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: tough because you only see me and Samon all over

488
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: a bit. But if they said that when you were

489
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 3: four feet of me, you had to say hello and

490
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: smile and wave.

491
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

492
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 5: There's nothing customers love more than forced friendliness. There was

493
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 5: a period do you remember this when Traded Joe's cashiers

494
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 5: would routinely ask, so, what are you up to tonight?

495
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god?

496
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: It was so and then I was like, Oh, I

497
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 3: better have something good to say. I'd make something up.

498
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: I'd be like, Ah, I'm going to the Port of

499
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: Long Beach. I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm going to the

00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 3: Queen Mary. I'm getting I'm doing an I'm working the

Speaker 3: Haunted House at Queen Mary.

502
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 5: So I never knew how to answer that, because, like,

503
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 5: are you hitting on me? Why would you ask me that?

504
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: What business is it of yours? Could you just please

505
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 5: kindly sell me these groceries?

506
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do you like it when they try to be

507
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: personal to you?

508
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 3: Or do you not? One in hundred five to zero

509
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 3: one five three four. That's one eight hundred five two

510
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 3: zero one KFI. I'm Andy Reesmeyer. Will take your calls

511
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: in the rest of this evening on Monday, November tenth.

512
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

513
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: I'm Andy Reesemeyer. Good, I mean just before nine o'clock here.

514
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 3: We've been talking about this ten to four rule ten

515
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: four policy at Target. Target apparently wants to see more

516
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 3: smiles from their employees. The new policy requires employees who

517
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: are within ten feet of customers smile, make eye contact, wave,

518
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: use a friendly, approachable and welcoming body language. And we're

519
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: within four feet of a customer, you must personally greet

520
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: the guests, smile, and initiate a warm, helpful interaction.

521
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: What happens at two feet?

522
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 5: What happens when you're in an embrace with a Target employee?

523
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 5: Can you mandate a happy ending at Targets?

524
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 8: Oh?

525
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: I think not. We've got Jay on the line calling

526
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: in on KFI? Did it evening?

527
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 10: Jay?

528
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: What do you think about this rule?

529
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 10: Andy? Mark?

530
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 12: How's it going? Guys?

531
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 10: Hey?

532
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: Good, Hey there.

533
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 12: I don't see this happening. You know, if you've been

534
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 12: to Target in the last handful of years, you know

535
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 12: that it's a bunch of youngsters working there and they

536
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 12: all seem to be very anti social, so you know

537
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 12: they don't want to talk to you. Now with this

538
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 12: new policy, they're probably just all gonna quit.

539
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 8: Yeah.

540
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: I saw I saw some comments of people saying like, well,

541
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm glad I've made myself into a guest now because

542
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: this is not going to be something I will be doing.

543
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: And it does feel like a bummer where like, oh,

544
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 3: our big complaint. You know, they came up with this

545
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: because it was some kind of complaint where people were

546
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: upset that they were being treated in a way that

547
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: they didn't like, so they became it became a mandate.

548
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: But I will say, I don't even know and you've

549
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: brought up a good point about young people. I don't

550
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: know that it's the Target employees necessarily. It's just there's

551
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: a lot of gen z ers who do that gen

552
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 3: Z stare where you ask them something and they like

553
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: look through you because they have not had the social

554
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: interaction from the pandemic or whatever being on their phones

555
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: all the time that I think a lot of other

556
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 3: generations expect.

557
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 12: Yes, it's very strange, almost surreal sometimes.

558
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: Well do you deal with a lot of Target people

559
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: or young people?

560
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 12: Not necessarily? I mean, I will divulge that I did

561
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 12: work the Target for a number of years. Really yeah, yeah,

562
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 12: I did.

563
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 10: So.

564
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: Then did you feel like that there was not an

565
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: emphasis on being friendly because I've actually I don't know

566
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: that I've I think a lot about my interactions with

567
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: people at Target. I'm like mostly doing the self checkout

568
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 3: thing anyway. I think there's a lot of signs that

569
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: say where things are.

570
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's kind of the route I do now. I

571
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 12: just I know what I need, I'm in and them

572
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 12: out self checkout. There's really no need for myself in

573
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 12: particular to find someone and talk to them or look,

574
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 12: you know, I know where things are. I guess I

575
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 12: have a little bit of an upper hand since you

576
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 12: know I worked for them for a number of years.

577
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: What did you do for them?

578
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 12: I was all over the place. I worked in many

579
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 12: different departments.

580
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: But like in the stores on the floor, yes.

581
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 12: And also behind the scenes.

582
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 10: Yeah.

583
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 3: So well, I wish you luck in your future pursuits

584
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: outside of Target and good some inside information.

585
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. Thank you for calling Jay.

586
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 12: Of course, I just want to say I love the show.

00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 10: Thank you.

588
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 12: It's a shame we had to lose Mo and his crew,

00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: a crazy thing. I know, I got over it. I

596
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 3: used to be real traumatized when I saw a cruiser,

597
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: but now I now just like I guess, I'm just

Speaker 3: broken by it.

599
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,240

Speaker 3: I won't say that there's not issues with Los Angeles,

625
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: but at my core, I do love it here there.

626
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: I moved to LA with the dream to try to

627
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: do something that kept me in l A. And I've

628
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 3: been lucky that every day I've been able to do that,

629
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: and so I'm very thankful of that for sure. And

630
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: I and I think that the coolest thing about LA

631
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: is that you can be here and understand it and

632
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: you don't have to like think that everything that everybody's

633
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: doing all the time is the right thing, but you

634
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: can still love it.

635
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: And I have learned to love it. Man, I love

636
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: this place so much.

637
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 10: So thank you for that's refreshing. So the thing is

638
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 10: about this target thing. It's really the same as when

639
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 10: you call a company to check your account out and

640
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 10: they say how are you? How you doing what they're doing?

641
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 10: They're just vamping while they bring up your account. So

642
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 10: I just sell them. I just kind of say yes,

643
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 10: I just kind of cut them off, you know, just

644
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 10: tell me what I wanted out, don't be happy and

645
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 10: fake happy with me and try to waste time. And

646
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 10: while you're looking, I know what you're doing.

647
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: Fake sincerity is far worse than real meanness.

648
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 10: I think, Yeah, And when I'm hanging up, it takes

649
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 10: like a minute for them to say thank you for

650
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 10: calling me, enjoy your business. I just kind of hang up.

651
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 10: I go, you know what, I haven't got time for

652
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 10: this fakeness. I mean, but anyway, I don't mean to

653
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 10: be rude, but I mean, you know.

654
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: Now I got you.

655
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: I think listen, it's fair. You know I have the

656
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: same POV. I'd rather somebody tell it to me straight,

657
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: just be honest with me. And if I know that

658
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 3: they're being fake friendly, it's not friendly. If you're being

659
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: forced to do it, that defeats the purpose.

660
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: So there you go.

661
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 10: Well, like I said, it's refreshing to hear your good

662
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 10: vibes about LA and I appreciate hope every night.

663
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much, Robert, thank you so much
