1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 2: Rents dropping in La Did you see this? La Metro 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: area rent prices dropping to a four year low. Median 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 2: rent is two thousand, one hundred and sixty seven dollars 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: and there is an increased housing supply almost sixteen thousand apartments. 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: Oh I'm sorry, little over fifteen thousand completed in twenty 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: twenty five, that, combined with decreased demand, is shifting power 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: back toward renters for the first time in years. Yeah, 9 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: the this is an interesting story always to me because 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: you know, parts of La are in the rent stabilization 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 2: kind of world where they can't raise the rent on you, 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: and then when the place goes vacant, they can jack 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: up the rent. But now it looks like they're not 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: even jacking up the rents in many areas because there 15 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: is apparently sufficient supply that the median rent again in 16 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: La Metro is dropping and dropped in December to a 17 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: four year low. Crazy. Crazy, because if you look at 18 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: housing trends prior to this, California has been a tough 19 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: place to find affordable housing. 20 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 3: A tightening housing supply as prices continue to skyrocket and 21 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: affordable homes continue to maneuver out of reach. These are 22 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 3: the top three revelations we learned from realstar dot COM's 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 3: new State of California Housing report. 24 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: Now this is housing generally, This isn't renters. 25 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: Number one more million dollar homes. Before twenty twenty, listings 26 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 3: in California asking one million dollars or more made up 27 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: about twenty four percent of the state's inventory. 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: Does every story now have to have like a smooth 29 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: jazz track behind it? Why is that? It just makes 30 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: it easier to wash down if no one does straight 31 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: news anymore where there's not like a dissing. 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: California asking one million dollars or more made up about 33 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 3: twenty four percent of the state's inventory, but by late 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five that share instep to thirty point four percent, 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: more than double the national share of twelve percent. As 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: of December twenty twenty five, the Golden State had some 37 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: seventeen thousand active listings priced at one million dollars in above, 38 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: with Walla Land taking up a large chunk, accounting for 39 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 3: a nearly fifty two percent share of the million dollar listings. 40 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: Number two wildfire, Wow, Is that right? Fifty two percent 41 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: of million dollar listings are here in as he said, land, 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: it was La La Lad you'll find but billion dollar listings. 43 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: That's a program up the rental And now that you 44 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: play this, I think maybe I need to use some 45 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: Vangelis to back up my news. I literally can't. I'm 46 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: having trouble listening to this now because of the amazing track. 47 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: But it's fascinating to me that I think these two 48 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: things coexist right there, living in the same universe. The 49 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: fact that renters are seeing a break while home owners 50 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: who want to get into the market and want to 51 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: move to La they're looking at many more million dollar 52 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: price tag taking up a. 53 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: Large chunk, accounting for a nearly fifty two percent share. 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: Of the million dollar listings right here. Number two wildfire. 55 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 3: Was Even though it's been more than a year since 56 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 3: the devastating wildfires and Altentina and Pacific Palisades, the impacted 57 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: communities are still putting the pieces back together. According to 58 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: the report, forty one point five percent of single family 59 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: homes in Algentina and thirty six point seven percent of 60 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: Pacific Palisades were classified by cal fire as destroyed. And 61 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: we're the most likely to be listed for sale over 62 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: the past year. That means owners have chosen to sell 63 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: rather than rebuild what they once had. And number three, 64 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: the Great Escape. We've all heard the news. People are 65 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: dipping out of Cali. But where exactly are they headed? 66 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: According to the report? 67 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: Oh my god, this guy is just the most anyway 68 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: La La land Cali. I mean, just is this an Ai? 69 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: Do you think this is York? It doesn't seem like 70 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: an AI voice. Maybe to you A lot of them do. 71 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: Now it's hard to tell anymore. We can't tell. I 72 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: told you the story about the trying to get a 73 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: hotel reservation? Did I tell you that speaking about to 74 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: an Ai? 75 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 4: No? 76 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: Did you start swearing at it? Because some of them 77 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: are now programmed to go to a human if you 78 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: just start to uncorporate. Oh, I didn't know that. That's 79 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: sort of clever. This I was, uh, it was at 80 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. I'm called and I 81 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: was on the speaker, and so I called and that 82 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 2: somebody who answers and they go, h are you calling 83 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: for a Cosmopolitan reservation? And they're talking like that, like 84 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: it's Andy of Mayberry or something, Okay, And it was 85 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: a woman. You said well, uh, you got the right place. 86 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: My name is Daphne. How can I help you? And 87 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: I said, well, I'm wanting to make a reservation for 88 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: an upcoming weekend. Sure, what are the dates you're looking at? 89 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: And gave her the dates. She said, let me see. 90 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: I've got a lot of rooms you're in Luck. What 91 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: kind of room are you looking for? I've got a 92 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: strip view room. I've got a mountain view room. I 93 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: don't know, maybe a strip view room. Great, great choice, 94 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: and she continues and then there's a I don't know 95 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: how to explain it, except there's like a little lag 96 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: or something that started to seem as though it was 97 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: perhaps giving up the game on it being a robot voice, 98 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,239 Speaker 2: So I asked. And the reason I mentioned the speaker 99 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: is Courtney was in the other room because she could 100 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: hear the conversation. And I said, Daphney, I don't mean 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: to be rude, but are you a robot voice or 102 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: are you an actual person? She said, I'm here to 103 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 2: help you with your reservation, and it was it was brilliant, busted, 104 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: it was brilliant, And Courtney yelled when I yelled the question, 105 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: she yelled, She's a real person. Don't talk to her 106 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 2: that way. Sure enough, by the end, I'd made the reservation. 107 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: And by the way, when you get to the where 108 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: you have to give him the credit card number and everything, 109 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: that was excruciatingly slow. I mean, it was like slower 110 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: than the slowest person you could imagine taking down the information. 111 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: So let me get that straight again. It's American Express 112 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: three one, one, six and then right. And she'd made 113 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: a mistake, I think, and I had to go back 114 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: and it became excrucion And then at the end she 115 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 2: got into a cycle of repeating the same thing, and 116 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: she repeated it four times. At the very end, you said, 117 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: all right, well, let's just review your reservation. You'll be 118 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: coming in January twelve. You'll be checking out January fifteenth. 119 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: You've got a corner view sweet with a and she 120 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: repeated it. I said, that's the one. Great and then 121 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,119 Speaker 2: she would say, all right, well, then let's review it again. 122 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: You're coming in on January twelve. You got a checkout 123 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: on January fifth, and she went through it, and then 124 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: I realized that's where you know. I mean, by then 125 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: it was already clear that she was a robot. Curtain 126 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: was pulled back, but it was really like it was like, 127 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: now the robot is like just slamming its head against 128 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 2: the wall. You know, I love swearing at those. I 129 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: don't have that move in me. I really don't really. Well, 130 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: I mean it doesn't matter. It's very satisfying. Well, I mean, 131 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: how do they react, Well, all different ways. They don't 132 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: really know how to react, but that some are starting to. 133 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: As I said, they'll they'll pipe you to a human 134 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: if you go nuts enough. Did you see the Larry 135 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: David episode where he starts shrieking and calling his serie 136 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: foul names. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he was looking for 137 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: he was looking for a reservation a restaurant or something. Yeah, 138 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: it was a curb episode. He can't get the thing 139 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: to respond the way he wants, and he just starts 140 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: shouting the dirtiest stuff he can think of at it. 141 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: I mean, they will probably be programmed soon, if they're 142 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: not already, to cut you off when you start doing that. 143 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: But but I'll tell you one thing. They've got the 144 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: voice part down, which is how we got onto this. 145 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: This guy could be number three the Great Escape. We've 146 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: all heard the news. People are dipping out of Cali. 147 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: Now that to me, sounds like an AI voice now 148 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 2: that I listened to it again. But they've got the 149 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: voices down really well. 150 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 5: It does sound now that you said it and I 151 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 5: heard it again, Yeah, yeah, kind of robotic. 152 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: And number three the Great Escape. 153 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 3: We've all heard the news people are dipping out of Cali, 154 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: but where exactly are they headed? 155 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 2: According to the you know, everything is them Hanna and Nampannahnah. 156 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they put in the music to describe it. 157 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: It's despicable and vomitous. And when I look at videos 158 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: on YouTube and I can figure out pretty quickly if 159 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: they're AI, I turn it off immediately. No matter how 160 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: interested I am in the subject, I would rather listen 161 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: to it fairly unpolished human being than phony stuff like that. Yeah, 162 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 2: there used to be only one go to AI voice. 163 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: It was that one that sounds like that and talks 164 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: like that all the time. God, you sound like it, 165 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: yeah really, And that was the one that you'd hear 166 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: all the time. Yeah, yeah, you know, I know the 167 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: one you're talking about, And so you'd always hear that 168 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: in talking like that and speaking like that.

Some 172 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: of them are better than others. But that one right there, 173 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: this one and. 174 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 3: Number three, the Great Escape.

Anyway, the good news 177 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: is renters, you've got to break four year low in rents. 178 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: If you're a buyer, it's expensive.

Yeah, Mark Thompson here on 181 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. That Bond story. 182 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: Next, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 183 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: I heard a story a couple of nights ago, and 184 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: you know, it occurs to me that you guys might 185 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: know this story. I don't know how many of you 186 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: are like games, Bond fans, or kind of television or trivia, 187 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: or you know, pop culture types like Mark Ronner for example, 188 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: who seems to know everything about these things. But I 189 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: heard this story and I didn't know it, and it 190 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 2: was related to Pierce Brosnan, who was a really great 191 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: James Bond. I thought you know he had all the 192 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 2: First of all, he's you know, this rakishly handsome dude, 193 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: right and you kind of just, you know, Bond, this 194 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: ladies man kind of you know, the Ian Fleming character 195 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: of Bond is one that's had to be modified a 196 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: bit through the decades. But you know, James Bond is 197 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: that guy. He's everything. You know, he's an expert in 198 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 2: martial arts, he's a you know, he's the guy who 199 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: walks into a bar and all the women want to 200 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: be with him, all the guys want to be him. 201 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: You know, it's that thing. So I thought that just 202 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: this dude was so very much that way, just when 203 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: he came on screen. So I like his Bond. But 204 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: you know, Roger Moore had his own Bond, and Sean Connery, 205 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 2: et cetera. So the story I heard was, and we're 206 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: talking about Bond the other night, and I was talking 207 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: to this British guy. First of all, whenever you hear 208 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: anything about James Bond and it's being told to you 209 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: by a British guy, it's very automatically. It sort of 210 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: raises the level of the conversations. I have more credibility. 211 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: Everything feels like you're hearing it from the Oracle of Bond, 212 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: you know. So we're talking about Piers Brothers and he said, Mom, 213 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: did you know you know the story behind Pierce Brosnan 214 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: and seven I said no, no, I really I don't know. Well, 215 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 2: it's interesting because and then he tells the story of 216 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: the fact that Pierce Brosnan was on a show called 217 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: Remington Steel and he it was a detective show. It 218 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: was him and I think it was Stephanie Zimbolt's symbo. Yeah, okay, 219 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 2: so it's a very popular show and he was spied 220 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: on this show that a seen on this show, and 221 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 2: the producers of Bond said, I think he would be 222 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: a real good person to take over the Bond franchise 223 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: when he leaves Remington Steel. And so they reach out 224 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: to the Remington Steel people because Remington Steele was running 225 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: kind of toward the end of its run. And sure enough, 226 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: Remington Steele was being canceled after I think it was 227 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: six season seven in the seasons, and they approach Pierce 228 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: Brosnan about being Bond and they indicate that, you know, 229 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: finish up Remington Steel. Then we start shooting the Bond 230 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: movie and you know, this is the new beginning of 231 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: the Bond franchise with Pierce Brosnan as Bond, So that 232 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: deal is kind of set, although it's an understanding, I 233 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: guess with Remington Steel not completely off the area yet. 234 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: It's sort of just a formality, but they have to 235 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: wait because they're in first position Remington Steel in terms 236 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: of obligation. Well, the heat around Pierce Brosnan starts to 237 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: build the buzz around Pierce Brosnan because now the word 238 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: is out that Pierce Brosen is going to be the 239 00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: next Bond, and that buzz seeps out at through Hollywood 240 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: across the landscape on shows like Entertainment Tonight and all 241 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: of this stuff, and you know, the next Bond, could 242 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: it be Pierce bro etc. There's all this new interest 243 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: in Pierce Brosnan. So the producers of Remington Steel do 244 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: what they say. We've decided we're not going to cancel 245 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: the show. We're going to put it on for yet 246 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: another season with Pierce and Stephanie Ziembleist. And the Bond 247 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: producers are saying, well, well, wait a minute, you told 248 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: us you were gonna Can we make a deal where 249 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: we get him part of the time, We can even 250 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: and they really did try to work the production around 251 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: the obligations of Pierce Brosnan, and this is the Hollywood part. 252 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: I The story is fine and it's interesting, but to me, 253 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: this is the Hollywood part. The producer of Remington Steel said, Nope, 254 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: We've got him. We've got him for the whole season. 255 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: And you guys with Bond, you can go find another Bond. 256 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: We have Remington Steele. He's doing Remington Steele. Screw off. 257 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 2: They shoot Remington Steele and then what happens? They cancel 258 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: it after four episodes and Pierce Brosnan is screwed and 259 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: Timothy Dalton becomes the new James Bond for two movies yep. 260 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: And then after Timothy Dalton, what happens the star of 261 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: Pierce Brosnan, which had actually been to hear Pierce Brosnen 262 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: tell the story Because since this I've kind of done 263 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: a little bit of a dive. Brosnon says, I was 264 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: kind of not viewed as a movie star until Missus 265 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: Doubtfire and Missus Doubtfire. That film reignited me in cinema, 266 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: and that's how I kind of re emerged as the 267 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: Bond character. And then I got the James franchise. Yeah, 268 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: he was in another pretty decent one around eighty eight 269 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: called Taffin, which is a British crime flick that made 270 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: him seem a little bit less like a pretty boy. 271 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: But you could argue that that lag allowed him to 272 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: age into the part. And also, by the way, the 273 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: exact same thing happened to Tom Selleck with Indiana Jones. 274 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: Oh really, Yeah, he couldn't get out of his Magnum 275 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: contract and that's why Harrison Ford got the role. Oh 276 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: that's terrific. I mean there are many of those stories. 277 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: I think what gives this story the twist is that 278 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: they canceled the series after four episodes. I mean that 279 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: just did him so dirty. Yeah, he just really got 280 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: done badly, you know. But just on the notion of 281 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: growing into it because I think you're role. I think 282 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 2: you're right. That's a really good take, you know, growing 283 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: into the role. I would say one other thing because 284 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: I watched a film called Taylor of Panama. It's a 285 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: really good movie. I really recommend it. And he plays 286 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: Roston plays a bad guy. And Jeffrey Rush who is 287 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: an Academy Award winning actor. As you know, he's the 288 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 2: star and it's a film with texture and subtlety, and 289 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: you know, their spies and all this stuff. It's really good. 290 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 2: That's a John Lecarre story exactly. It's it's adapted from 291 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: John Lacara. So it's this movie where but this is 292 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 2: the part that relates. You don't need to know any 293 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: of this stuff to appreciate what I'm about to tell you. 294 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: This just has to do with the look of Fierce Brosnan. 295 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: He's so handsome. I was watching the film. I liked 296 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: it so much, I went this is a DVD back. 297 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: The DVD director commentary was on one of the extended features. 298 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: I watched the director's commentary, and the director says, he 299 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: was so handsome that when he came onto the set, 300 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: we had to dirty him up because he plays a 301 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: bad guy, and he just was like too dashing for 302 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 2: a bad guy. So we made him a smoker, We 303 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: gave him a five o'clock shadow, We try to like 304 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: must up his hair all the time, and we still 305 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: couldn't knock the handsome off of him. He was like 306 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: just almost too pretty for the role. Exactly. Yeah. The 307 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: great problem to have. Well, Steph, you know about that already. Yeah, yeah, 308 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: you get that, but but but the rest of us so, 309 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: but the the story of how he rose to fame 310 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: and became James Bond, and then you know, obviously he's 311 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: such a I think a brilliant actor as well. You know, 312 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 2: just to me was was fascinating. So there's a little 313 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 2: ride through, uh through Bondland the next Bond have they 314 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: decided No, everybody's on pins and needles to see who 315 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 2: they pick and what they're gonna do, because they kind 316 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 2: of have to reboot the whole thing after that awful 317 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: last one. I hated what they did. It was laugh 318 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 2: out loud band. I mean, the ending was just unacceptable. 319 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: It's you know, it's unacceptable. You just don't do that. 320 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: The whole fun of Bond is there's no way to 321 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: get out of it, but somehow Bond gets out of it. 322 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 2: As a lifelong super James Bond fan, I was just 323 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 2: sitting in the theater with my mouth hanging open at 324 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 2: the badness of it. Yeah again, I don't even remember 325 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 2: how good or bad the movie was. I just was 326 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 2: so stunned by the ending. I mean, I'm just shocked 327 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 2: even still. So if you were writing a parody of 328 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: a James Bond thing. You couldn't do any better than that. 329 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: I mean, if mcgiver got blown up in every episode, 330 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 2: would that make mcgiver better. No. The whole idea is 331 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 2: mcgiver's caught somehow with you know, like some construction paper 332 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: and a flashlight battery. He's going to find his way out. 333 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: That's what mcgiver is. The idea is Bond is completely cornered, 334 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: there's no way out, and he lives to fight another day. 335 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: He's amazing. Now. 336 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 6: Well. 337 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: Ian Fleming tried to kill him off at the end 338 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: of From Russia with Love and he was so popular 339 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: that he had to bring him back. To Rush You 340 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: with Love has one of the great shooting sequences, like 341 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: gunplay sequences. It's like a six minute gunplay sequence during 342 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: which Sean Connery never unbuttons his blazer. It's wonderful. Are 343 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: you talking about the gypsy camp scene or exactly? Okay, 344 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: that's it. Yeah, and he's running around and you know, 345 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: all this stuff's going down, and men, his jacket coat 346 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 2: is never unbuttoned. It's just wonderful. That is such a 347 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: good movie. And the fight with Robert Shaw in the 348 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: train car is immortal. Yeah, really good. All right. Nerding 349 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: out is over. We AREFI AM six forty. I declare 350 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: it over. There will be no more. 351 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 352 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: Just reading these some of these grim stories. What's going 353 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 2: on with you? Nikki? Give me this grim story about 354 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: how a gang sacrificed a horse so a murdered member would. 355 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: Have to That story has everything. It's awful, light, supremacy, horses, death. 356 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Nikki, life is grim enough. 357 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 4: I'm a little dock. 358 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm gonna go to a different one. A miniature 359 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 2: donkey named Dolly Parton is back home. See I walk 360 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: into the light. After escaping from this farm on Tuesday night, 361 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 2: there was a community wide search this farm is. It's 362 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: in Michigan. That's a bad time to be loose. Michigan 363 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: is freezing cold. There's snow everywhere. There's a community wide 364 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 2: search involving neighbors, animal rescues. It was about eight o'clock 365 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: at night. High school student helping with the farm chores 366 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 2: accidentally left a gate open at the Freeman farm and 367 00:21:53,800 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 2: Dolly Parton escaped. She left with Henry, another donkey. Henry 368 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: got home around nine. He came back but Dolly stayed 369 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: out missing, and apparently there was a feeling that she 370 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: may not be found. A neighbor had a surveillance camera 371 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: that picked up Dolly. Also, Henry and Michigan State troopers 372 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 2: began searching this rural area and they couldn't find Dolly 373 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 2: or Henry. But then they spotted one of these troopers 374 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: did Dolly on a lonesome road. A sergeant finding Dolly 375 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: wandering on a side road around ten thirty. Please tell 376 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 2: me this has a happy ending. Indeed it does. The animals, 377 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: both of them returning safely, and all as well with 378 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: the miniature donkey named Dolly Parton. And now I can 379 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: sleep soundly knowing that that is the case. I'm not 380 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: going to do the gang story, Nikki, I just am 381 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: not going to do it. 382 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 4: You went for the happy horse story. 383 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: I just feel as though we need happiness, a little 384 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: niceness and goodness. Life can be very grim, and so 385 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: why not get a little happiness in that spirit. I 386 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 2: will tell you that a deal has been made in 387 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: Washington to a government shutdown. This was related to, as 388 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: you know, the threat of holding up funds for ice. 389 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: Democrats spoke to the President in the form of Democrats. 390 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 2: I think it was lead Democrats in the Senate, And 391 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: essentially they have averted this shutdown based on what will 392 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: be a future modification of ice tactics. That's the way 393 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: that sits right now. So all of that beginning to 394 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: at least come together in a way that might keep 395 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: the government open. Two ski patrollers at Mammoth Mountain are dead. 396 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 2: Separate avalanches killed both of them in one year. What 397 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 2: is happening at Mammoth? 398 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 4: I thought you were doing sad stories. 399 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: Well, this is a story about maybe how they're improving 400 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 2: conditions at Mammoth. So they're looking into what took out 401 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: these two ski patrollers. You buy that an enormous storm 402 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: dumped three feet of snow on Mammoth and a rookie 403 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 2: ski patroller and her partner scrambled to help make the 404 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 2: resort safe for the guests ahead of a busy weekend 405 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: this is President's Day weekend, and an unstable powder in 406 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 2: a steep experts only run the ski patrollers, you know. 407 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 2: They use handheld explosives and their own skis to try 408 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: to trigger these small slides to sort of make all 409 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: of these areas that are really steep. These shoots at 410 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 2: Mammoth make them safe before the resort opens. But again 411 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 2: something went horribly wrong. Instead of staying safely above the 412 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: sliding snow, both of these two got caught in it. 413 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 2: And again this this is a terrible loss of life. 414 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 2: So this is a tight knit community Mammoth and they 415 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: look to see what might be done. I mean, you know, 416 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: these ski patrollers are often I don't want to say volunteers, 417 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 2: but they work sort of seasonally, you know, and there 418 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: is the risk. They always know that there is a risk. 419 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: But such a short period of time to take two 420 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: lives in this work, it's created a lot of issues 421 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: and so the resorts managers are being questions. Are they 422 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 2: pushing too hard to open the mountain after major storms? 423 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: I mean maybe they should, you know, not open up 424 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 2: certain runs after a lot of snow. You know, are 425 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: the training standards not sufficient And this is an ongoing 426 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: issue at Mammoth, and the families of these two are 427 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: asking these questions. Right So now there are different protocols 428 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 2: being instituted to give the ski patrol more time to 429 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: work more latitude, to keep chair lists closed until the 430 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: mountain is deemed safe. And so they are making changes 431 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 2: at Mammoth Mountain. But these tragedies that occur, you don't 432 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 2: even necessarily hear about them. You know, it's a it's 433 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: one of these things that's associated with just maintaining these 434 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 2: major resorts. But the reality is that, you know, skiers 435 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 2: are desperate to get fresh powder. There's a lot of pressure, 436 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: I'm talking about commercial business pressure to open up these resorts, 437 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of pressure for those working the 438 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: resorts to get them ready for those who are wanting 439 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: to get those epic powder days. You know, but it's very, 440 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 2: very difficult to balance those two things, you know, the 441 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: need to open these runs that everyone wants a piece of, 442 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: particularly those who are really good skiers, but also balance 443 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: it against the real threat that avalanches exist in the 444 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 2: high country. So there are protocols being instituted, and I 445 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 2: think also, frankly, it's a little bit of luck. So 446 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: this is another season with epics snow and February it's 447 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: coming up. We should get more snow. From a climatological standpoint, 448 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 2: you'll get more during the month of February than any 449 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: other month. So we'll see all of you who are 450 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 2: BONZEI skiers and borders be careful. 451 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 452 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: If you know that music, you know that sound.

It was 504 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 4: too on knows not to be clavoyance. 505 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, that's it's a strange thing. I was doing 506 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 2: a telethon once and there was a claravoyant that was 507 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: a celebrator. I forget her name, was like, you know 508 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 2: that one of those claravoyant names like miss Maggie or 509 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 2: you know, predictor Polly or whatever. You know. They had 510 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: these kind of handles. Anyway, we're waiting to go on 511 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 2: and she's kind of talking to me and she says, 512 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 2: I see you see a number with you? She said, 513 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: I see a specific number with you. I said, what 514 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 2: do you mean? She said, you are going to come 515 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 2: into three thousand, three hundred and fifty two dollars. That 516 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: number three thousand, three hundred and fifty two dollars just 517 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 2: keeps coming to me. It's strong with you, three thousand, 518 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty two dollars. It's very specific, Yeah, 519 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: super specific, which is, by the way, one of the 520 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: great ways in which you can bluff if you're going 521 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: to bluff someone for whatever reason, bluff with specificity details. 522 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 2: So I'm not saying she was bluffing. Maybe she was 523 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 2: really receiving this. I mean, I'm giving her the benefit 524 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 2: of the doubt. To the point that I'll tell you 525 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 2: what I did. I started doing everything I could to 526 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: look out for this three hundred, three thousand, three hundred 527 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 2: and fifty two dollars, to the point that I was 528 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 2: adding up like credits that I was getting from credit 529 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 2: card companies, refunds, this kind of thing, to see if 530 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 2: I added it all up, if it added up to 531 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 2: three thousand, three hundred and fifty two dollars, and there was, 532 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 2: and this continued. I let this go for like maybe 533 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: two and a half years because she didn't give me 534 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 2: a time limit on it. So I thought, you know, 535 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 2: I'm trying to say, you know, maybe she's right I 536 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 2: mean it just I it's not like she said it's 537 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 2: gonna happen, you know, in the next hour. She just 538 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 2: said it's going to happen. And she was getting it 539 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 2: so strongly. She really sold it, you know. And no, nothing, 540 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. I just couldn't get there. As much as 541 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 2: I tried, as hard as I added everything up, as 542 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 2: I reworked all the numbers. Nothing. You were really trying 543 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 2: to make it work for her, Thank you, thank you. 544 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: There was an allegiance to her. She had in a way, 545 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 2: I was in league with her to you know, help 546 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 2: this prophecy come true. Well, in my previous life as 547 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: a print reporter, I interviewed quite a number of supposed psychics, 548 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 2: and I would always go into these interviews like, never 549 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: give up any information. Always make them tell you things 550 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 2: that they couldn't possibly know otherwise. And there's a list 551 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: of rules. And I think Michael Crichton, the author, the 552 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: late author of Jurassic Park, he had a similar set 553 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 2: of rules. If you go into these things, you can't 554 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 2: get suckered in by a cold read like apparently Nikki did. 555 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 2: What's the likely They phrased the question to you tell 556 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: me about blank? What is in blank. 557 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 4: She said it, and I was like, how did you know? 558 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 4: I know that place? Like I'd never mentioned Harrowgate in Yorkshire. 559 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 4: And she looked me in the eye said, what's in Harrowgate? 560 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 2: What's in Harrowgate? Yeah? What's in blank? She could have 561 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: said anything. Maybe you would have known the name. Maybe 562 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 2: you wouldn't have. 563 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 4: I had a person I was dating in Harrowgate. 564 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 2: You know that? No? Okay? Then she went on a 565 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 2: fishing expedition with you? 566 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 6: No, she didn't. 567 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 4: I went, and I'd never gone in there. I went 568 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 4: off my own volition. Suddenly I was like I was 569 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 4: drawn to do it, and she pulled that name out 570 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 4: of thin air, and I went, WHOA. 571 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 2: I hope she got a lot of dough out of you. 572 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 2: Do you do? You do you think Steph you watch 573 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 2: Family Guy at all? I sure do? Don't you think 574 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 2: that versus going that Mark Ronner's voice just in that 575 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 2: exchange with Nicky sounds a little like the way that 576 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: Peter is disciplined by what's the dog's name? Brian? Brian, Yeah, 577 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 2: I can see that. Actually, she wish she went on 578 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: a fishing expedition with you. That's what she did? Is 579 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 2: that a compliment. I don't think that's all. 580 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 5: No, because it's like super dry and he's always like 581 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 5: he's holier than thou in the show, wasn't. 582 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 2: It really wasn't a putdown. I just as you were talking, 583 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 2: I thought, oh my god, that sounds like Brian on 584 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 2: Family Guy. I didn't. Now that you say it, I 585 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 2: cannot pile on. No. I was thinking more yeah, Peter 586 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 2: or either one. It was just the cadence of it. 587 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 2: It was. It was he was on a fishing expedition 588 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 2: with you. Meg was on a fishing expedition with you. Yeah, 589 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 2: of course you fell for it. Could have asked anything. 590 00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 2: I can't do it. I can't do the impression. But 591 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 2: you sound I think very much like it. Now. It's uncanny. Well, 592 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 2: I don't watch the show, so I'm gonna have to 593 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 2: take your word for it. Chack it really it's funny. 594 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 2: So I had a friend who was a writer on 595 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 2: the show, and he told me about his experiences, and 596 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 2: I never watched it after that because I was too prejudiced. No, 597 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 2: I see fair enough, And I'm not going to blow 598 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 2: him out on the air here and say his name. 599 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 2: But he told me some pretty funny stuff that I 600 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 2: can tell you off the air, No, I have my 601 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,919 Speaker 2: this is my I was their story when Family Guy 602 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 2: was first presented at Fox.
