Speaker 4: The holidays are in full swing, but for many this

85

Speaker 4: time of year can bring heightened stress, loneliness, and even

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: substance abuse. I'm rally and aggle, your neighborhood reporter, and

87

Speaker 4: One, And the holiday blues maybe more common than you think.

91
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: What that's coming from a lot of the time is

92
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 5: going to be the increased financial stress, family conflict around

93
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 5: the holidays, the change in routine.

94
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: Jessica Cason, a mental health expert with Aspired Counseling Services, says,

95
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 4: right now and following the holidays, they see an increase

96
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 4: in patience seeking help with substance and alcohol abuse.

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 5: They are utilizing alcohol or substances as a coping mechanism

98
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 5: for those emotions and that stress and those feelings.

99
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: Cason explains that for some, the hardest part of the

100
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: holidays is in financial stress or family conflict. It's a

101
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 4: loneliness and grief that comes with spending the season alone.

102
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's me this year. I'm not going home.

103
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be working a lot. I always think it's

104
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: a good idea, and then I'm home by myself on

105
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving or home by myself on Christmas, and it does

106
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: feel like a bummer. But I also will say there

107
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: are some families out there where it's preferential to be alone.

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: Where's your girlfriend should be with her family? I had to.

109
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: I had to stay here alone once, completely alone, because

110
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: there was nobody to take care of our cats. That's

111
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: just completely like the Omega man Charlton Heston, you know

112
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: what the weird thing is?

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm sure the cats appreciated that it

114
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: was a normal day for them. They were like, sure,

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: we're glad you're here. I guess Merry Christmas. Or they

116
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 3: were kind of affectioned it right, Well, yeah, I was

117
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: the only person they had.

118
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: That's how you get affection out of cats. You starve

119
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: them of it. That's exactly right. That is so silly.

120
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: Well, here's some more tips on how to deal with

121
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: that sadness that comes along the holidays.

122
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: Whether that's by joining a club or making friends through

123
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 4: a new hobby.

124
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: Someone who's going to notice if they don't hear from

125
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 5: you for a while is someone that you can kind

126
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 5: of be accountable to.

127
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760

132
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 4: safety plan in case you need to step away, communicating

133
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: your feelings calmly, and set boundaries with relatives who may

134
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 4: be triggering you know, Hey, you.

Speaker 3: Sure you take yourself. Oh like if you drive by yourself,

160
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: drive alone? Oh yeah, I guess I think it's kind

161
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: of what I'm reading into on that.

162
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: That's a good piece of advice.

163
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: You don't want to be trapped with somewhere because your

164
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: cousin wants to hang out.

165
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: Case and stress is the importance of paying attention to

166
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: signs of seasonal depression. If you're feeling low, don't isolate,

167
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: get outside, take a walk.

168
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: Or spend time with friends. Should also encourage me. Well,

169
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: his cousin walks. All right.

170
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: Lots more coming up here on the show. I'm Andy Reesmeyer.

171
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

172
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: Some breaking news from the Los Angeles Fire Department. Two

173
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: workers in critical condition after an explosion inside an electrical

174
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: vault on the twentieth floor of a high rise building

175
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: in downtown Los Angeles. The address is one willshir more

176
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: on what that building is in just a minute, but

177
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: firefighters say the explosion happened just before seven o'clock tonight.

178
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: Two patients are thought to be in critical condition. They

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: were working in an electrical room when the explosion happened.

180
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: Paramedics are treating both on scene. There is no active fire,

181
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: according to the Fire Department, and no sign of lingering

182
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: electrical danger in the building. Cruiser are now checking floors

183
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: above and below the area where the explosion happened, just

184
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: as a precaution. But One Wheelshire is a fairly tall

185
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: building in downtown Los Angeles at the corner of Grand

186
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: or six, basically Wilshire and Grand Street, I think, is

187
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say. I know it because I

188
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: used to live across the street and I would park

189
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: in One Wheelshire and one Wheelchair. Used to be I

190
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: think a doctor's office building and maybe a law firm

191
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 3: for most of its existence, and then in the eighties

192
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: became a big building for Telcom, and now it is

193
00:09:53,640 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: mostly all just a building where all of the physical

194
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: parts of the Internet connect with each other. They call

195
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 3: it a carrier hotel, which is where servers and cables

196
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: and relay systems all meet. So where the Internet doesn't

197
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: exist in the cloud, it has to exist physically somewhere.

198
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 3: That's kind of where it is. And it's a very

199
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: odd thing because when you walk by it, you look up,

200
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: it's just sort of a random building, but there's just

201
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: no people in it because there are these twenty five

202
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: I think floors of servers and electrical racks, and it's

203
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: really a very critical infrastructure for the Internet. On the

204
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: West coast, there's these Transpecific cable there's a Transatlantic Cables,

205
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: these large fiber optic cables that are laid under the

206
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: ocean on the the floor of the ocean. They go

207
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: across the continent. One of the places that they sort

208
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: of end up there is that One Wheelshire building. So

209
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: it's always interesting whenever there's some news there, and obviously

210
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: we hope that those people who are injured are going

211
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: to be able to get the care that they need.

212
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: So explosion on the twenty fifth, twentieth floor rather of

213
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: One Wheelshire in downtown.

214
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: You ever been there, Mark Ronner, No, I'm just looking

215
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: up the information now and I'll have something ready to

216
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: go shortly. Great.

217
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: It's a it's a wild place and you look at

218
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 3: it and it's sort of it's almost imposing when you

219
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: walk by, because you just think, like it's strange to

220
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: look at a building and think like the Internet is

221
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: in there. I mean, it's sort of a simplification, but

222
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: also bad news. If you're trying to drive around southern

223
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 3: California in the carpool lane with your hybrid vehicle, those

224
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 3: decals I almost blows my mind when people used to

225
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: buy those Fisker Karmas or the like, real expensive electric cars.

226
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 3: Even when the Teslas first came out, they'd slapped thirty

227
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: of those clean air vehicle stickers on them so they

228
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: could drive in the carpool lane.

229
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 6: Heads up for EV and hybrid commuter. Starting today, you

230
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 6: could get a ticket if you're driving solo and caught

231
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 6: in the carpool lane. The grace period is over for

232
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 6: people with expired clean air vehicle decals. ABC seven News

233
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 6: reporter Gloria Rodriguez is live at the paper It's tool

234
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 6: Plaza with what this means for yule commits.

235
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Yes, Amanda, this isn't that's a loud toll plaza.

236
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 7: This means for Yules.

237
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: Like they threw it, tossed it out to her. They

238
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: just opened the door of the studio.

239
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 7: This means for Yulians.

240
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 8: Yes, Amanda, this doesn't only impact EV and hybrid driver.

241
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: It sounds like somebody lighting a blowtorch.

242
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 7: What this means for yummus?

243
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, this isn't.

244
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, Amanda, I was in the middle of welding.

245
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: Welding a piece of metal under the back of my vehicle.

246
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 8: Yes, Amanda. This doesn't only impact EV and hybrid drivers.

247
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 8: And starting today, everyone may notice more cars in the

248
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 8: non carpool lanes. And that's because that sixty day grace

249
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 8: period is now over for those who have those clean

250
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 8: air vehicle decals. The federal program ended earlier this year,

251
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 8: and the stickers weren't incentive to get people to buy

252
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 8: low or no mission vehicles by giving them access to

253
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 8: HOV lanes even if they were driving solo. And you

254
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 8: could also get a discount on bridge tolls, but that's

255
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 8: also ending.

256
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: We know a lot of man you used to just

257
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: get so much stuff with those electric vehicles.

258
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: I thought, for a second she said bridge trolls. No

259
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: discount on that ion.

260
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 7: No discount on bridge tolls.

261
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: But that's yeah, she was real close to that. It

262
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: sounds like she's cold. I don't think a troll would

263
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: give one a discount.

264
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: No, you have to pay the troll, pay the toll,

265
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 3: and see the troll.

266
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 8: We know a lot of solo drivers have still been

267
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 8: using the carpool lanes during the grace period, and the

268
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 8: HP tels ABC seven News that while they will not

269
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 8: be doing any extra enforcement today, officers will be ticketing

270
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 8: people called solo in the carpool lanes, and those fins

271

Speaker 8: start at four hundred and ninety dollars that they are

272
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,680

273
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 8: lane here on the Bay Bridge, you'll need at least

274
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 8: three people in your car. You could also do casual

275
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 8: carpool and they're about twenty pickup and drop off locations

276

Speaker 8: Baybridge toll Plaza Gloria Rodriguez ABC seven.

278
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: News, the noisiest toll plaza ever. It lends authenticity.

279
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: Just turn the compression down on that. That ratio is

280
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: way too high. We're getting the background. It's mixing with

281
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: the track.

282
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Haven't you ever had to go out

283
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: and stand in the middle of a hurricane or something

284
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: that you did to prove that you're reporting the news live?

285
00:14:59,680 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: I did.

286
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: I did that exact thing when we had a quote

287
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: unquote hurricane. It was a tropical storm by the time

288
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: it hit Los Angeles, but I was down over at

289
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: the Allsion Park. Frog Town, I think is what we

290
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: really call it. For some reason, LA Times calls it

291
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: Allegian Park. To me, is that's frog Town. You call

292
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: it frog Town. That's what everybody calls it who lives

293
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: over there. And it was right by the La River.

294
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: So basically they had me there next to a big

295
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: pipe where all the runoff was coming down.

296
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure I needed a few shots after that. I

297
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: like it. How every now and then you'll get somebody

298
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: who's just fed up and doesn't want to be there,

299
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: and you'll have this moment of reality on TV or

300
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: the correspondent. It'll be like, yeah, it's still snowing out here.

301
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, right back to you. I mean, it is so

302
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: silly to do that, but I was basically in that.

303
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: I was next to the runway or the freeway, the

304
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: five freeway, and I guess Hyperion over where the La

305
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: River starts to bank up. They have a really nice

306
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: part of La River there, kayak.

307
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: In it and stuff.

308
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: But the majority of what I saw there was just

309
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,479
Speaker 3: trash flowing down the river, like lots of big trash.

310
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: Really like a refrigerator. You'd see go buy all kinds

311
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: of stuff. Oh there's a Christmas tree.

312
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, Well, a fridge is a major piece of equipment.

313
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: That's that's notable. I think it was like a mini fridge.

314
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't.

315
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if a regular fridge would float,

316
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: but a mini fridge definitely. It definitely saw many no.

317
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: Less impact from a dorm fridge than from a full sight.

318
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: Hey man, if it comes at you, you're sitting there

319
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: just trying to, you know, float around, and there's a

320
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: hurricane all of a sudden, mini fridge, mini or mega

321
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: fridge that's coming at you, that's a that's a problem

322
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: like that.

323
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: We got a cagerator coming. That's right.

324
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

325
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: By Am six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

327
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,640

00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: It is. I love them. That's a great choice.

329
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of that kind of like new

330
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: music that sounds like it's from the eighties. We call

331
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: it sob rock. Perhaps nineteen seventy five sort of does that.

332
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: But it's a great It is bleaches as well.

333
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: Oh bleacher.

334
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, any anything that's in that in that headspace sign

335
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: me up for I'm a fan.

336
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: Good stuff. Uh, you know.

337
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 3: As we continue on, I wanted to make sure that

338
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: everybody is buckled up and ready for the next round

339
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: of storms coming here to southern California.

340
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: Are you ready, Mark Ronner? Always ready? A dry storm system? Yeah?

341
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: A dry storm system is how this report from KTLA

342
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: dot com starts out. You can't it is just wind.

343
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: You can't call it a storm if there's no rain.

344
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: The terminology can be uh a little confusing. Sometimes A

345
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: dry storm system is sweeping into southern California, expected to

346
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 3: deliver several days of strong winds and bitterly cold temperatures

347
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: across La and Ventura Counties.

348
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: And wreak havoc with your hair. Wreak havoc with my hair.

349
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to take my hammock off of

350
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: my balcony.

351
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: Now, protect your pets, bring in your your balcony hammocks.

352
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: If you've got any loose leaf furniture just roaming around

353
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: there on the patio.

354
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: It's about to be a massacre.

355
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: Winds expected to ramp up early Monday, which was today,

356
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 3: guests reaching about forty five guests, Gusts reaching about forty

357
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: five miles an hour in coast and valley areas, thirty

358
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: five miles an hour along the Malibu coast San Gabriel,

359
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: Santa Susanna, Mountain Sea and gusts up to fifty miles

360
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: an hour. There will be at brief lull Wednesday and Thursday,

361
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: but then mountain gusts will go back up into the fifties.

362
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,239
Speaker 3: Coast and valley areas will be experiencing gusts of up

363
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: to forty five mile an hour as well for Thursday

364
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: and Friday. But it'll also be very cold overnight. Did

365
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: you get that Mark Ronner on your on your weather bingo?

366
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: Oh? Probably Anelope Valley.

367
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: We're looking at temperatures below freezing?

368
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: What which is normal for this time of year? Oh,

369
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 2: it's December. The high Desert gets very cold overnight in

370
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 2: the winter. This is about the time when we're going

371
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: to see a montage on Jimmy Kimmel of all the

372
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: local newscasters going. Can you believe it's December already? Oh? Yeah,

373
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: I love that.

374
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: I actually been trying to do a roundup of like

375
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: ranking the small talk of the week. I haven't been

376
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: able to motivate myself to write it yet, but I

377
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 3: but I think that it's a funny idea enough to

378
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: be like, well, this week weather is off the top

379
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 3: five because we haven't had any rain but Thanksgiving leftovers

380
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: and when they go bad, are are coming in at

381
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: number two.

382
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: I don't know something like that. It's painful. It is painful.

383
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: But and I'm annoyed about small talk generally speaking. But

384
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: when and it actually rains in La I feel like

385
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: we do have some pretty good small talk.

386
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: You have to talk about it.

387
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: I still have not received any response from my call

388
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: to fix the one on one freeway at Lancersham Boulevard.

389
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 3: Every time it rains, about an inch of rain puddles

390
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: underneath the Lancersham overpass or the Ventura.

391
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a maybe it's the I think it's the Ventura.

392
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: It's some overpass by Universal Studios, and every single time

393
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 3: you drive there and it rains, you hydroplane just a

394
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: little bit.

395
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 2: Well, that's the same thing right near where I live

396
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 2: and get on the freeway, the four h five up

397
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: in north Ridge, it's like fording a river. I need

398
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: to I need to get an SUV when I.

399
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: Was doing, Yeah you do, what would you get? You'd

400
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: get like one of those left a hummer. I need

401
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: a raise so that I can buy a hunt. That's

402
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: exactly right. So you can only all you can drive

403
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: here safely. Would the Hummer fit in the garage? Would

404
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: it clear those pylons?

405
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: Oh surely. I mean we've had people with those Tesla

406
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: cyber trucks parking down there, so a Hummer can't be

407
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: that much bigger, can.

408
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're talking the original hum Vy that's

409
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 3: like three cars wide, I'm sure it would fit in

410
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 3: the garage. I mean it fits in a parking space.

411
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: Maybe not at Trader Joe's. No, even a Mini Cooper

412
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: won't fit at Trader Joe's.

413
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: That's so wild. That is a crazy place.

414
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: And I don't know why I keep going to the

415
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: mall and to the grocery store this week, because I like,

416
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: forget that it's happened. It's it's black fried. I forget

417
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: all this. I get there, I'm like, oh right, No,

418
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm dumb, busy out there.

419
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: All right. I don't want to get you too far

420
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: off topic here, but it's important to go to Trader

421
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: Joe's right now because they're probably going to be almost

422
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: out of the Thanksgiving stuffing flavored popcorn?

423
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: Is it good?

424
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: Yes? I saw a little.

425
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't partake, but I'm a big stuffing fan,

426
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 3: so I feel like I would.

427
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: I'd be I'd be into it. It's surprisingly good.

428
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: I'm sure that they don't really do bad Like Trader

429
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: Joe's has got a pretty good batting average for tasty snacks.

430
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like pulling the full John Denver

431
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: for original coke routine and like stocking up some palletts

432
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: as a popcorn.

433
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: As long as that's the impersonation that you do of

434
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 3: John Debt, that's the only one I got. As long

435
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: as that's the end of it, I wouldn't want to

436
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: see you flying ultra light aircraft.

437
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: No, it starts and ends with with the coke. Okay good.

438
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: Similarly to our friend in Blind Mellon, you know when

439
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: you played that song, it made me realize. I think

440
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: I did one of the very last interviews with George

441
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: Carlin too. What I am the you're the Angel of Angel?

442
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: Stop me before I kill again?

443
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 5: Wait?

444
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Why is this? Have you done anybody else? Let's We

445
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: shouldn't even dwell on it now I'm starting shatner. Do

446
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: not We got everybody we need to bubble wrap. Please

447
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: do not interview.

448
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 3: Stay away from Billy Joel, Stay away from Dick Van Dyke,

449
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: Barbara Eden, all of them get out of town. I

450
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 3: saw Tom Petty at his last concert. Obviously we didn't

451
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 3: know it was his last concert, but that was a

452
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: that's a really weird feeling, you know, when you see

453
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 3: somebody and then and then a week later they're gone.

454
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: There is and Reddit kind of frequently has threads about

455
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: last known photos of people before they died.

456
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: Why is our obsession with that? Why is that so fascinating?

457
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: The John Dillinger one is hilarious. What's that one in

458
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: front of the Biograph theater? No, just look it up?

459
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: Non Villiner last photo. Oh so it must be dirty,

460
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: is what you're saying. If I'm opening my mouth, chances

461
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 2: are at dirty. Okay, that's what I think.

462
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: Is it him in his in his he's no longer alive? Yeah,

463
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 3: it's his? Uh oh oh my? Is that a result

464
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: of the rigor mortis?

465
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: He was very happy to see everybody. Let's just say that.

466
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna go man, that is wild.

467
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: What is the scientific explanation for this?

468
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: Is what it's called? Alright? And he was packing a

469
00:23:59,400 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: high caliber.

470
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: Oh you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

471
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 3: First of December? Did you pay your rent? Did you

472
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: pay your mortgage? Did you go shopping for the week?

473
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 3: Maybe the month? You can stock up for the month

474
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: if you go to a place like Costco. It's great

475
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: for a big family. It's great for people like to

476
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 3: eat at home all the time. I have a really

477
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: hard time with Costco. I want to make it work

478
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 3: for myself and my schedule and everything, but I can't

479
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: eat the food fast enough before it goes bad. One

480
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: person with a Costco membership for a one person household

481
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: is an insane thing. I wish they would make things

482
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: just a little bit smaller. Maybe I gotta eat more,

483
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: Maybe the ectomorph comparisons.

484
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 2: Wills will go away. Then, yeah, you should do that.

485
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: I stopped at Costco on the way in here. Did

486
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: you do they have terrific deals on booze. Yeah, I'd appreciate.

487
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Oh you know me, Well, now you're speaking

488
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 3: my language. I do like that they have, you know,

489
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: the Hendricks gin There is like a half bottle bigger

490
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 3: than the regular one you get at the liquor store.

491
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: It's like the like the Granddaddy one seven to fifty

492
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 3: millimeters versus five hundred I don't know, but it's a

493
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: lot bigger. And then I start getting into conspiracy land,

494
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: where I think, do they put different did they water

495
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 3: it down? Are they doing what we used to do

496
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: in high school? Or we would put a little water

497
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 3: in our parents' liquor so that they wouldn't notice that

498
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: we had taken some of it.

499
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: Did your parents put the grease pencil mark to mark

500
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: the level?

501
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: No, that the way they drank, they would have no

502
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: idea if that was gone. My mom did start to

503
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 3: get a little confused as to why the cooking sherry

504
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: kept going.

505
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: Missing, though, Well, it evaporates. Oh yeah, yeah, that's what

506
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: I told her. It evaporates.

507
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Once you drink cooking sherry one time,

508
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 3: you're never gonna drink cooking sherry again. That is some

509
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 3: true desperate behavior as a kid.

510
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about cooking sherry, but in a

511
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: lot of the old shows and movies that I see,

512
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: sherry is quite the civilized drink among a certain class

513
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: of people. And I've never tried that kind.

514
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've met sherry, but if she's

515
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: a civilized drink, I'll take a tall glass of water.

516
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what that meant. It was a sort

517
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: of hack. I've been up since four o'clock in the morning.

518
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: Bro okay.

519
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: But Costco though, I don't know if you remember this,

520
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: that they had a plan though to add another hour

521
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: for the executive gold members gold Star members rather.

522
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: Oh, so you could show up early and not have

523
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 2: to deal with the rabble.

524
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the high tier folks who paid extra, the executive members,

525
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: they could get in a couple hours early or an

526
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: hour early. And there was a lot of feeling that

527
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: the gold Star members were upset because they said this

528
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: made them feel like second class citizens the straation. It's

529
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: like when you go to the airport now you don't

530
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: have your real ID and you got to pay fifty bucks.

531
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: Things are Things are getting a little more complicated here

532
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: for folks. But the news is at least on the

533
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 3: Costco front, that this has actually helped with the overall

534
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: efficiency of a Costco visit, because as you know, if

535
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: you go especially here to Burbank, now, they're very efficient.

536
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: They do a good job. But if you go on

537
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: the weekend before Thanksgiving, it is like you have elected

538
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 3: to do that, So you should know that that's going

539
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: to be a nightmare.

540
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: It's insane. I also made the mistake and I'm not

541
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: making this up. This isn't a bit. I put in

542
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: my earbuds and I went to Costco and I listened

543
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: to the soundtrack of None and the Dead while I

544
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: was walking through Costco. Don't ever do that.

545
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: That is so funny, and I'm surprised that's not something

546
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 3: that you always do.

547
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: Well, you only need to do it the once, and

548
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: then it'll just wreck you for life. Because when you

549
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: see the way people shamble around in there with kind

550
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: of not very much awareness of what they're doing or

551
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 2: where they're stopping or how they're consuming things, and you've

552
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: got that music that's so strongly associated with that zombie movie.

553
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: You can never look at either.

554
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: That's a fun that's a fun little mental state that

555
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: you put yourself in.

556
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: Though that's kind of neat. Well, I regret it, is

557
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

558
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I'm sorry about that, but I will say

559
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: and I and I think that you know Costco. Like

560
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 3: I said, it's great if you can handle you just

561
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: have to mentally prepare for it.

562
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: You've got to be ready. You got to know what

563
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: you're doing.

564
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 3: I mean, there is some fun in wandering through those

565
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: first three aisles, you know, the ones that are right

566
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: behind the TVs, where it's like, what new gadgets do

567
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: they have? Now, that's kind of fun, And you're right,

568
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: getting booze is kind of fun.

569
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: But Cosco Costco sells almost everything that you can think of. Now,

570
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna maybe you could get like a

571
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: liver transplant at Costco. Put it right next to the

572
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: optometry section. That's right, Why not transplant? Well, you're gonna

573
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: need a liver transplant with all that gin. Yeah, it's

574
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: a one stop shop. They give you the liquor and

575
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: the and they give you the thing to fix it,

576
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: good old Kirkland livers. Yeah.

577
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: The problem is that every time I buy a liver there,

578
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: that's way too big for me. I can't finish that

579
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: whole liver. You gotta split it with somebody. You gotta share.

580
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: I gotta share that liver. It regrows though, thankfully. But

581
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: uh yeah, Costco very doing very well. The company reported

582
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: membership income of one point seventy two billion dollars, which

583
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: is fourteen percent more than the prior year.

584
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: That hot Dog loss leaders are brilliant Buck and a half,

585
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: and you got to think, like there are there is.

586
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: I don't know how many, but there's a percentage of

587
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: people who have that Costco membership who aren't going. That's

588
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: just free money to Costco every month. Pretty smart, Although

589
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: I swear sometimes I think, man, is this the same stuff?

590
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 3: I bought a soundbar from Costco? I thought, is this

591
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: the same soundbar that they'd be selling it best Buy?

592
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 3: I don't think it is. They do special stuff for

593
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: them so well. They never have the same thing from

594
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: one week to the next. That's your and that's why

595
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: they want you to go. They figured it out, man,

596
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: they know how we work. Coming up for the next

597
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: hour here on KFI, we're going to talk about car

598
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 3: prices hitting a new high and what that means for

599
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: people who are shopping for vehicles. The New York City

600
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: McDonald's has hired somebody called a mc bouncer. I guess

601
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: that the uh officer Big Mac might have been involved

602
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: in a nois or something.

603
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: He was somebody mayor mccheese. What's going on with that?

Speaker 3: Plus, if you're sick of AI slop, there's a way
