Speaker 4: caused a New Year's celebration fire that ripped through a

138
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: bar in a ski resort. About forty people were killed

139
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: and fifteen others were hurt. This woman was there at

140
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 4: the time and says she saw waiters carrying giant sparklers

141
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,440

142
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,359

145
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,360

Speaker 4: Joining us now is Michael Monks, who covers downtown Los

148
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: Angeles because he is passionate about it and because he

149
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: lives there, he has got sort of an eagle eye

150
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: on what's going on downtown. And I want to talk

151
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: to you about this article that came out in the

152
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: LA Times about major developer Bill Whitty and what his

153
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: blunt assessment is about downtown LA's future. Now you spend

154
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: more time in downtown than probably anyone here at KFI.

155
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: What are you seeing on the ground right now?

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, this article is certainly rosier than what

157
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 10: I think I see. I'm a resident of downtown, LA

158
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 10: live in the Fashion District. I do a lot of

159
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 10: my reporting on downtown stuff because that's where city Hall

160
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 10: is and the Board of Supervisors are located. It's a

161
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 10: mess in downtown LA. In this article written by Roger

162
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 10: Vincent in the La Times profiles real estate mogul Bill Whitty.

163
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 10: He's led Relief California for three decades, and that's a

164
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 10: big time real estate developer, and was basically suggesting that, hey,

165
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 10: it's bad, but it's not as bad as people think.

166
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: He says it's not that bad, which is I don't

167
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: know if I believe that.

168
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 10: He says it's not as bad as you think it is.

169
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 10: He's quoted as saying it's better than you think it is.

170
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 10: It's still the cultural core of the region. That's true.

171
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 10: I mean, there's no doubt about it. If you go

172
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 10: to see the Lakers play, you gotta go downtown.

173
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: You know, the King's play Downtown. That's just the spot.

174
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 10: Concerts, all of the concerts, Disney Concert Hall. You know

175
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 10: that's there as well, and it's the seat of government. Okay,

176
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 10: the large companies are located down there. It is a

177
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 10: major economic engine for the entirety of southern California. You

178
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 10: see the traffic heading into downtown every day, but what

179
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 10: you don't have is the perception that it's clean and safe,

180
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 10: and that's a big problem. So a lot of restaurants

181
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 10: have closed. Shop fronts are very very empty right now.

182
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 10: And this homeless crisis is more than just people sleeping outside.

183
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 10: It just is I mean, you've got people that behave

184
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 10: like absolute maniacs all over.

185
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: Downtown is going to ask you, is it the perception

186
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,119
Speaker 4: that there's a problem down there or is there actually

187
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: you know, still this safety issue.

188
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, it definitely exists. And this is something that

189
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 10: I talk about a lot. You can look at the

190
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 10: crime stats and see that, yes, crime is taking place.

191
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 10: I talk about this in the context of both Downtown

192
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 10: and La Metro. It's not necessarily that you are a

193
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 10: victim of crime, or that you would be a victim

194
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 10: of a crime, but you are probably gonna have the

195
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 10: feeling that.

196
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 5: You're gonna be and that's a problem.

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 10: Okay, So if you ride, for example, the Metro train

198
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 10: from Long Beach and you get into downtown, and the

199
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 10: whole time that you're on the train, there's somebody who's

200
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 10: got a crack pipe in his hand, or there's somebody

201
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 10: who's pacing ominously up and down the aisle. You see

202
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 10: the same things on downtown streets. That person may never

203
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 10: even look at you, but you're concerned the whole time,

204
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 10: and that's not out of the ordinary. You have every

205
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 10: right to be watchful and concerned because there's drug paraphernalia,

206
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 10: there's somebody who looks a bit unhinged. That's what you

207
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 10: encounter downtown. And not to mention the fact we talked

208
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 10: in a previous segment about the budget issues facing the

209
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 10: City of Los Angeles. Well, one of the prices that

210
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 10: people of LA have paid is just darkness. Street lights

211
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 10: are out, no money to pay for those. The police

212
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 10: are not on patrol on foot the way they probably

213
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 10: should be. Downtown, there are fires around homeless camps all

214
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 10: the time to keep them warm.

215
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: I mean, they're outside, it's cold.

216
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 10: You understand where they're coming from, but you're not supposed

217
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 10: to have a fire next to commercial real estate. It's

218
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 10: a very dangerous situation.

219
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: All around.

220
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: And I think because of that, because of the actuality

221
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 4: of safety concerns and the perception of safety concerns, a

222
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: lot of businesses are leaving. Small restaurants and dependent retailers.

223
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: Is their hope for Downtown LA.

224
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 10: There's a relatively new organization called the Downtown La Residents Association.

225
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: And this is the first time.

226
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 10: I mean, look, I've only lived there for this January

227
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 10: marks my third anniversary, full three full years of living

228
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 10: down there. It's the first time that I've seen real

229
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 10: advocacy coming from a group that's not necessary all about

230
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 10: civic boosterism. They want to ask hard questions because these

231
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 10: are folks who are paying to rent there. These are

232
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 10: people own condos there, These are people who own businesses there,

233
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 10: and they very recently had a meeting with the mayor.

234
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 10: Finally she joined them in a zoom conference answered a

235
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 10: lot of their questions. They were able to draw attention

236
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 10: to a lot of their issues. I think because people

237
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 10: forget a very important fact. People live downtown, not just

238
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 10: on the streets. Okay, They're not just down there to

239
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 10: go to La Live or to watch a sport event

240
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 10: or to watch a concert. People live down there ninety

241
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 10: thousand people live in downtown Los Angeles. It's a densely

242
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 10: populated neighborhood. It's also the most walkable. It's connected all

243
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 10: of the transit lines. It has a lot of great benefits.

244
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 10: It has a park in the middle of it. But

245
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 10: until they do more than just listen to the concerns

246
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 10: they being the government and start addressing the frankly, the

247
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 10: crazy people that are on the streets, the cleanliness issues,

248
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 10: the darkness issues, the turning point that Downtown La faces

249
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 10: could be a turn for the worse. And it's hard

250
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 10: to believe that it could get worse, but it most

251
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 10: certainly can. Because there are a lot of bright spots.

252
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 10: There are a lot of great restaurants, there are a

253
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 10: lot of great businesses. There are a lot of great

254
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 10: people down there. But sooner or later, more and more

255
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 10: are going to become frustrated and throw up their hands

256
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 10: and leave.

257
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully you won't be one of them.

258
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 10: By someday I will have a modest manner in Hancock Park.

259
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 10: But until then I'll stay in the fashion district.

260
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: Okay, good. Michael Monks on the Downtown LA Beat for us.

264
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

265
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 4: hour newsroom. California state workers are testing a new AI

266
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: assistant called POPPY Powered to Buy Open ais Chat GPT

Speaker 4: to help streamline daily tasks like searching state policies, with

268
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 4: officials saying this the state built tool is designed to

269
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: boost efficiency at a cost of just over sixty thousand dollars.

270
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: Starting in August, Californians will be able to ask hundreds

271
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: of companies to delete their personal data using a new

272
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: online tool. It's called DROP, an acronym for the Delete

273
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 4: Request and Opt Out Platform. Tom Kemp with the California

274
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: Privacy Protection Agency says DROP lets users contact data brokers

275
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: in one step to limit how their information is sold

276
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: and shared.

277
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 11: There's significant concerns about data brokers and how our information

278
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 11: is being weaponized against us, and we've seen instances in

279
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 11: which people's data is being sold to the government.

280
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,120

281
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 4: days or face daily fines. A woman has been killed

299
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: Let's dream together a little bit, shall we? It is

300
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 4: five nineteen on your wake up call. I'm Heather Brooker

Speaker 4: fire this Thursday. On Thursday morning rather in Northridge, the

00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: some point the man was shot. A new report says

313
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: private sector employment in California has been affected by federal

314
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: immigration raids. Today's talkback question. If you could travel anywhere

315
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six and budget is not an option,

316
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: there's no budget, where would you go? Hit the talkback

317
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: button on the iHeartRadio app. I want to hear from you.

318
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: Let's daydream a bit together, shall we? And the six

319
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: oh five its handle On the news. President Trump says

320
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: he's locked and loaded. If the Iranian government uses lethal

321
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 4: force with protesters there, we'll tell you why he's getting involved.

322
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 13: Now.

323
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: When people think about home design, they usually jump straight

324
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 4: to paint, colors, appliances, or renovation. But Dean Sharp, the

325
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 4: house Whisper, says the most powerful design tool doesn't have.

326
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: To cost a dime. We're going to talk to Dean

327
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: this morning. Good morning Dean, Good morning Heather.

328
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so you often say that people don't have house problems,

329
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: they have people problems. What do you mean by that?

330
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,359
Speaker 4: And how can we shift our mindset before we start redesigning.

331
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 10: Okay, So just to just to get quoted right here,

332
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 10: So I I this weekend on Sunday, We're starting off

333
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 10: the new year with thinking like a whisper, designing like

334
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 10: a house whisper. I just thought it would be a

335
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 10: great way to start the new year. I get asked

336
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 10: this all the time. How can I really get a

337
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 10: hold of my design issues and transform my home? And

338
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 10: so I'm going to be sharing, you know, the way

339
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 10: that we approach design when it comes to homes. And

340
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 10: one of those things that I hear all the time

341
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 10: is that, you know, I get hired to help people

342
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 10: with their house problems, but most of the time, I

343
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 10: feel like I'm helping houses with people problems. That's what

344
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 10: that comes down to there, It's a sentiment that's true

345
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 10: because you know, when you think about a house, they

346
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 10: don't design themselves.

347
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: They are what they are.

348
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 10: They they're the way that they are entirely because of

349
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 10: what people have done to Then. Of course I'm not

350
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 10: talking about necessarily the current owners of the house, but

351
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 10: we need to recognize that that it's people that have

352
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 10: created houses to look and be the way they are.

353
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 10: And when it comes to a taking a fresh approach

354
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 10: on a house, we all need to slow down a

355
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 10: little bit, and we need to take the one thing,

356
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 10: the greatest asset that we all have, and spend it

357
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 10: as much as possible, and that is time. Time is

358
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 10: something that I talk about a lot. It's kind of

359
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 10: an uphill battle because we're all in a rush. We

360
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 10: all just want to get everything done yesterday, and so

361
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 10: when it comes to designing a home or redesigning a

362
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 10: home or remodeling a home, people just want to rush

363
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 10: right ahead, Like you were saying, to the paint color

364
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 10: or to the new appliance or what have you. I

365
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 10: want to get to the root of what's really really

366
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 10: wrong with a house, what really really could be done

367
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 10: to it in order to open it up and to

368
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 10: transform it. And that usually means finding something along the

369
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 10: way that isn't what everybody was expecting, and in order

370
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 10: to really settle in on that, it takes time. Takes

371
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 10: time to get to know the house, takes time to

372
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 10: really think about the house. And there's a thing in

373
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 10: the construction and design industry. In fact, it applies across

374
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 10: all business in general. It's called the iron triangle. The

375
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 10: iron triangle is a metaphorical idea. But we think about

376
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 10: a triangle with three points on it, and you get

377
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 10: any two points of this triangle, and you pay for

378
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 10: those two points with the third point. It works like this.

379
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 10: In construction and in design, the iron triangle consists of cost, quality,

380
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 10: and time. Okay, those are your three choices, and you

381
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 10: pick any two that you want. For instance, if you

382
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 10: want your project to be done really cheaply and really fast,

383
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 10: in other words, you pick time and cost, then all

384
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 10: you have to do to pay for that is sacrifice quality,

385
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 10: because fast and cheap means that it's not.

386
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: Going to be done well.

387
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 10: On the other hand, if you decide that you want

388
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 10: the job to be done really really well and really

389
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 10: really fast, you choose those two, then you're going to

390
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 10: have to sacrifice the cost of the project and just

391
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 10: write very big checks. But most people follow in the

392
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 10: third category in which they want the best quality and

393
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 10: the best value. And that means if you're going to

394
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 10: get that out of your house project, that you're going

395
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 10: to have to spend the time. And that's where I

396
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 10: really really want to encourage people to take the time

397
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 10: see here, feel the house for what it is, and

398
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 10: start seeing past what all of us has, which is

399
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 10: kind of a house blindness from all the years that

400
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 10: we've spent in that house, just making do now.

401
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 4: I've heard you talk about house blindness before, and I

402
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: know we're in a new year now and I'm excited

403
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: for this new series that you're going to be doing

404
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 4: and focus that you're doing. Is there anything you can

405
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: share with of everybody right now, like give us one

406
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 4: new thing that we can do in the new year

407
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: to kind of make our home feel refreshed. This is

408
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: something I personally struggle with a lot. There's so much

409
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 4: I want to do in my home and I just

410
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 4: feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

411
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 10: Well, again, the best place to start is any space

412
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 10: that you're in and really sitting in it long enough

413
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 10: to understand what's really going on with it, and how

414
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 10: it makes you feel. Most of the time, when I

415
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 10: lead somebody through this process, I would say maybe eight

416
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 10: out of ten times they'll be able to come pretty

417
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 10: close to the mark of coming up with the solve themselves.

418
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 10: But if you just want a generic answer, then most

419
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 10: homes are suffering from their orientation on the property. Most

420
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 10: of us live in tracked homes, homes that were built

421
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 10: by somebody else, Homes that weren't built or I should say,

422
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 10: weren't designed with your specific lot in mind as far

423
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 10: as what direction the house is facing, where the windows are,

424
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 10: where the doors are, and the one of the most

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 10: profound and fundamental design principles that can transform a home

426
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 10: is daylight design, in other words, opening up areas of

427
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 10: windows to proper views and to proper use of daylight.

428
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 10: And so to consider a space and ask the question,

429
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 10: do we have enough daylight coming into this room? Can

430
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 10: we make an alterations with windows and doors, sliding glass

431
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 10: doors or French doors in this room in order to

432
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 10: brighten it and transform the way it looks out onto

433
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 10: the street, the way it looks out onto the rear yard,

434
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 10: but especially the way it collects light.

435
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 5: In the room.

436
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 4: Dean, you always have the best, most helpful information to

437
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 4: make us feel right at home. And I love our

438
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 4: weekends together whenever I get to anchor the news on

439
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: Saturdays and Sundays, because I get so much good advice

440
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: from you. I want to encourage everybody to listen to

441
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 4: Dean Sharp every Saturday from six to eight am, Sundays

442
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 4: nine to noon here on KFI and on demand wherever

443
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 4: you get your podcasts, and you can visit the house

444
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: Whisper dot com.

445
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: Dean Sharp, have a happy New Year, you too, Heather.

446
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 5: We'll talk soon.

447
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: All right, Let's get back to some of the stories

448
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The

449
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: new Mayor of New York has been sworn in Zoron

450
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 4: Mom Donnie has promised to serve all, in all eight

451
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 4: and a half million residents of the five boroughs.

452
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 14: Those who feed us Veryannie and beef patties Kanya and

453
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 14: Putstrami on Ryde. And they know that this belief could

454
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 14: be made true if only government dared to work hardest

455
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 14: for those who work hardest.

456
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: Shortly after the swearing in, Mom Donnie announced a series

457
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 4: of orders to tackle housing insecurity. Affordable Care Act subsidies

458
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: have now expired, meaning healthcare costs for more than twenty

459
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 4: million Americans are spiking. Some may not be able to

460
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: afford insurance at all. ABC Selina Wang says the subsidies

461
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 4: were created in twenty twenty one to lower insurance costs

462
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 4: during the pandemic.

463
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 12: Since then, enrollment in the Affordable Care Act has nearly doubled.

464
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 3: For months, Democrats fought to extend the tax credits.

505
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 4: I'm so happy to talk with you today because, first

506
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 4: of all, I'm obsessed with Palm Royal and your character

507
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: in it as this sharp, very smart, clever reporter.

508
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: I absolutely love watching you on this show.

509
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 4: It has such a distinct style and tone. So what

510
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 4: was it about this project that made you say yes,

511
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 4: I want to be a part of this.

512
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 16: Oh my godness, it's so many things. I mean, as

513
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 16: you know, it's just the opportunity to audition and get

514
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 16: on an Apple show starring Kristin Wick at the time,

515
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 16: just Kristen Wig and Laura Dern that those are the

516
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 16: only two I knew. Oh that was enough. Little did

517
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 16: I know what was coming. So just that opportunity was wonderful.

518
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 16: And then when I show up on set and it

519
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 16: includes you know, one of my dream to work with persons,

520
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 16: Alison Janny and then the incredible Carol Burnett and Ricky

521
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 16: Martin and Josh Lucas and Kya Gerber and do I

522
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 16: keep going, Jordan Bridges, I mean, it just keeps giving

523
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 16: and giving. And then of course this season we've had

524
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 16: the privilege of having Patty Lapone and John Stamos. I mean,

525
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 16: it's just it's an embarrassment of riches, Heather, truly, this

526
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 16: project in every aspect.

527
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 4: Honestly, the cast is so much fun to watch. It

528
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 4: was like everyone is destined to play these parts, and

529
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: you can tell you guys are all having fun.

530
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: With it as well. Talk to me a little bit.

531
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: About what's happening on set, like what are some of

532
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: the off camera moments like with.

533
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: All of these incredible actresses and actors.

534
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 16: Well, unlike the sets I've been on for the past,

535
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 16: I'm gonna say since COVID, to be honest, right, normally

536
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 16: everyone kind of goes back to their trailers, back to

537
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 16: their whatever.

538
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 15: We are borderline obsessed with each other.

539
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 16: There is a twelve person text that we have had

540
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 16: since the beginning, which is now three years since season one.

541
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 16: We all sit in our director's chairs together in a circle,

542
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 16: our prop department and production design always make sure that

543
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 16: there's an area and we all sit together.

544
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 15: We have our snacks.

545
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 16: Together, we gab together, we listen to music together, we

546
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 16: do we just yeah, the only way to say is

547
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 16: just borderline obsessed with each other.

548
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 15: So it is a happy set.

549
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 16: As well as a productive set. I mean, we really

550
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 16: like working with each other, we like creating with each other.

551
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 16: We feel safe with each other. And I know that

552
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 16: you can really relate to this. When you're working with

553
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 16: people who are so at the top of their game,

554
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 16: you not only get better, but your sense of play,

555
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 16: your confidence, and your ability to hit the ball back

556
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 16: increases tenfold. And that's what's happened. And so hello season two.

557
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 16: We've all been in the sandbox together already for a

558
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 16: year and a half, so it was like going back

559
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 16: and being with your favorite playmates. And then of course

560
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 16: we get this crazy, amazing material from Abe Silvia who's

561
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 16: at the Helm, and it's.

562
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 15: Just it's on.

563
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 4: I am obsessed with the styling of this show. I

564
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 4: love the outfits everybody is wearing.

565
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 16: Shout out to Alex Friedberg, Jean Carlos, our brilliant production designer,

566
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 16: our hair department head by Tricia Sawyer. I mean these

567
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 16: are the these are the top top, top, top top.

568
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 4: People, and this currencyason a Palm Royale is really coming together.

569
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 4: You can tell that the cast is gelling and it's

570
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: really finding its footing.

571
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 16: Season one to me was like we were on this

572
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 16: four lane highway in Palm Beach and season two pick

573
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 16: de lane. You know, we definitely are more streamline. The

574
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 16: story is more streamline. We're all involved. There's a lot

575
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 16: more scenes with all the characters, which has been really fun.

576
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 16: My character, for example, kind of comes out behind the

577
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 16: scenes and instead of writing about it, becomes a part

578
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 16: of the hygiinks and into the story, which has been

579
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 16: such a hoot.

580
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 4: Speaking of whot, what can you tell me about working

581
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: with the legendary Carol Burnet.

582
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 16: Carol is just a treasure trove of stories about adaptability

583
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 16: and joy. To not leave the joy out of the room,

584

Speaker 4: with Bloomberg's Denise Palegreene.

611
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Good morning Denise, Hey, good morning Heather.

612
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 17: I wanted to start with some news about tariffs because

613
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 17: President Trump is delaying tariff increases on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets,

614
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 17: and vanity. So if you were thinking of doing some

615
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 17: home improvements, this could be good news for you.

616
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: You won't have to.

617
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 17: Rush and buy things before the prices go up because

618
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 17: he's easing those tariffs, and that's because of voter frustration

619
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 17: over price levels continuing to simmer. Also, the US has

620
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 17: apparently decided to cut those controversial anti dumping tariffs that

621
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 17: people were so worried about on Italian pasta brands. They're

622
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 17: not gonna slap those huge tariffs on all those Italian

623
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 17: pasta brands we love. After all, they were going to

624
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 17: be as high as one hundred percent for some of

625
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 17: those brands, So you don't have to hoard that Italian pasta.

626
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 4: Okay, that's good to know. That's good to know. And

627
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 4: tell me about this one. Oh Zebig users are spending

628
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 4: more on dining out.

629
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: I wo think it would be the opposite. I mean,

630
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: this is crazy.

631
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 17: And restaurant operators were really worried that weight loss drugs.

632
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 17: You know, we're going to be a big threat to

633
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 17: their business as it has been to the snack business,

634
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 17: you know, especially sugar snacks and the alcohol industry. But

635
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 17: data actually show that households with at least one GLP

636
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 17: user actually spend more on eating out than they did

637
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 17: before the family members started the drug.

638
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 12: Uh.

639
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 17: Apparently one thing happening is that people are going for

640
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 17: higher protein items those you know, you can pay more

641
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 17: for that day, for the junk and for fibers, so

642
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 17: they're people are eating better and spending more, and restaurants

643
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 17: are cutting the size of the portion. So you know,

644
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 17: this isn't bad for restaurants either.

645
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: All right, and this.

646
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 4: One is interesting a career inner, it could be a

647
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 4: good one, right now, tell me more.

648
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 17: Yeah, this is primarily music entertainment. You were just talking

649
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 17: about Carol Vernetta and that just the joy she had

650
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 17: over performing. Well, if you're thinking about having that kind

651
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 17: of career and you don't yet, you might want to

652
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 17: give it a try, because a career in live entertainment

653
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 17: and music is really kind of a recession proof choice

654
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 17: when you think about it, in an industry that's facing

655
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 17: shortages as its workforce gets older, right, and most of

656
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 17: those roles, especially in music, they can't really be automated

657
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 17: or offshort out of existence, and they don't require college degrees.

658
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 17: In most cases, live shows have actually had they become

659
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 17: a primary driver of music industry revenue. Goldman Sachs says

660
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 17: this sector will actually grow more than seven percent a

661
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 17: year over the next few years. The sheer number of

662
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 17: people required to deliver the expensive concert experience that fans

663
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 17: expect has ballooned. And there are all those you know,

664
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 17: those bands, those tribute bands. Tribute bands make a lot

665
00:33:59,160 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 17: of money.

666
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Right now. You could be the next Stevie Nicks.

667
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: I know.

668
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 4: Maybe they're they're capitalizing on those retro feelings you know

669
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: that we all remember from our favorite bands.

670
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 17: Yeah, and also and also the fact that it's really

671
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 17: expensive to actually go see Stevie Nicks.

672
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: Go see the real one someone. Yeah, that's so true.

673
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: That's so true.

674
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,320

Speaker 4: that are the Academy Awards. There's been a lot of

723
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 4: interesting movies coming out this year, maybe not so many

724
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: that are obvious winners for the awards, but I would

725
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 4: love to talk about the movies that are gonna be

726
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 4: honored in twenty twenty six and also what we're looking

727
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 4: forward to in twenty twenty six. And in order to

Speaker 4: And the fact that everybody is off this week, including

732
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 4: ABC News, and so this is we're filling.

733
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 3: We are filler just in the interest of keeping it real.

734
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: We're filling well. I'm glad. There's no one else I'd

735
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: rather fill with.

736
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 5: I love this.

737
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: The Golden Globes are coming up.

738
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 4: It's Hollywood's bigest night of the year, lots of celebrations,

739
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 4: It's where film and TV come together. I think it's

740
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 4: going to be a great night. I'm going to have

741
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 4: all the highlights. Of course here on KFI. I think

742
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: one Battle after Another is going to do really well there.

743
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 4: I also think Wicked for Good is going to do

744
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 4: well there. Both of those movies, in my mind, are

745
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 4: going to do well at the Academy Awards as well. Chan,

746
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 4: what do you think Avatar Fire and Ash Do you

747
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: think it has any chance to win any big awards

748
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 4: this year?

749
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 3: I mean, did it get nominated? Right?

750
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: It has not been nominated. The Oscar nominations haven't come

751
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: out yet.

752
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 9: Oh, then I'm not sure it might get nominated.

753
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: What do you think it would be nominated for? Like

754
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: special effects or or.

755
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 9: Probably special effects because that's because like the special effects

756
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 9: in all of the Avatar movies are just always incredible.

757
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, sound and the visual visuals were just fantastic.

758
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 18: Yeah.

759
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

760
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 4: I think Frankenstein is gonna do well. I think I'm

761
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 4: interested to see how Timothy Shalamy is going to do

762
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: with Marty Supreme. It's kind of getting mixed reviews and

763
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 4: then Wicked for Good. You know, they're saying that this

764
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 4: could be Ariana Grande's year two. She will she and

765
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 4: Cynthia Riva will for sure get nominated for aus was

766
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 4: her movie.

767
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: It was Arianna's movie.

768
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, ultimately we get for Good.

769
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 9: I believe if it I forget if the director said

770
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 9: this or something, but it but it focused more on Glinda.

771
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did all right. So Dad, what do you think?

772
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: Uh, those are all good choices.

773
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 19: I think you know a dark horse candidate for uh

774
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 19: uh nominations Knives Out, Wake Up Dead Man.

775
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 18: No.

776
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 19: I thought that movie was so excellent and the cast

777
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 19: was so great and it was a great performance all around.

778
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 19: I think it has the potential to at least get

779
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 19: some nominations in there.

780
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: What about that one movie, the formula one movie F one.

781
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 3: O F one will get for sound and visuals and

782
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: stuff like that or great overall?

783
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 5: F one was?

784
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: It was really good, but it was a bit formulaic

785
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: for me. But the sound and visuals were fantastic. It

786
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 3: was like Top Gun with cars.

787
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was, but I thought it was great. I

788
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 4: thought Brad Pitt was great. I think you'll get nominated.

789
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: Brad Pitt was great.

790
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the movie for sure.

791
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 4: Will get some technical nominations, sound, editing and maybe cinematography.

792
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 19: Sean Penn's performance and One Battle after Another, oh for sure,

793
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 19: I mean that was yeah, exceptional, he was.

794
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 4: If you've not seen One Battle after Another yet, it

795
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: is available on streaming now. Definitely worth your time. And

796
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: usually around the Oscars they put some of these bigger

797
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 4: movies back into theaters, and if you get a chance

798
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 4: to see like an F one or one battle after

799
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 4: another in the theater, a highly comming to do that.

800
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure we've missed a couple two, but yeah, but

801
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: those are definitely to watch movies.

802
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: And Wicked for Good of course is going to be

803
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,399

Speaker 4: That'll be an interesting one. I don't know how I

830
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 4: feel about Marco Robbie and Jacob Elordi in that I

831
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 4: don't know. I have such love for the first Weathering

832
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 4: Heights when he came out Forever Ago. Was there a

833
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 4: Masters of the Universe?

834
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 19: You said, there is a Master's of the Universe. I

835
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 19: also want to see Project Hill Mary with Ryan Gosling. Yes,

836
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 19: I read the book. I thought the book was a

837
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 19: lot of fun and very cool. It's from the same

838
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 19: writer that wrote The Martian, so it's I think it

839
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 19: looks like a really cool movie.

840
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: And also Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy.

841
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 3: I was going to mention that one too.

842
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 4: That movie just knocked everybody socks off. The first Mario

843
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 4: with Chris Pratt, a couple.

844
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 3: Of worldwide phenomenons.

845
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: Huge, huge, So I think that one's going to be

846
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: good too.

847
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of new movies coming out, a

848
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 4: lot of things to look forward to in twenty twenty six.

849
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 4: Will you be going to the box office, that's the question.

850
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 4: So many people nowadays would say they prefer to stay

851
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 4: at home watch their movies in the comfort of their

852
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 4: own home. But I, you know, I'm torn between the

853
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 4: two because having had theater experiences with people talking, somebody

854
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 4: putting their bare feet up on the seat behind me

855
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 4: is just it's too much.

856
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 19: I think there are some movies you have to see

857
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 19: in the theater. Yeah, and you know, for me, those

858
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 19: superhero movies are good theater experiences. Yeah, seeing an Avengers

859
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 19: movie in the theater is cool because there's a whole

860
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 19: crowd interaction because the crowd is into it. Seeing Supergirl

861
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 19: and stuff like that. Some of the more cerebral movies

862
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 19: like Devil Wors product to very cerebral stop that I

863
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 19: could probably wait for streaming, but it'll still be a

864
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 19: good movie to see.

865
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 20: Yeah.

866
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 4: Well, I look forward to watching many of them with

867
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,320
