It was just one of those nights, 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 2: dominating pitching from the Blue Jays six to one the final. 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 2: If you're leaving Dodger Stadium, you can try. I'd love to. 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 2: I feel your pain. You can, you can share it. 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: You're going to be in that line leaving Dodger Stadium 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: for a time. Eight hundred and five two oh one, 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: five three four, call us tell us. I'm also curious 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: how you and we were doing the story earlier, and 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: you guys were at the game, those of you who 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: are leaving Dodgers Statium, so you didn't hear it. I 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: was talking about how much tickets were. I was there 16 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 2: last night. I paid five hundred and that was a 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: good deal. I got load tickets for five hundred apiece. 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: By the way, that's a lot of money to me. 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: I'm just like, oh, you know, but I later saw 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: those same tickets for between twenty three hundred and three 21 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: thousand apiece. Anyway, eight hundred five to one, five three four, 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: I'm curious as to what you paid for your tickets. 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: But more to the point, how it was at Dodger 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: Stadium tonight. It had to be a really tough ride 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: because the pitching, well, first of all, top of the 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 2: first there were leadoff homers. I mean, you know, you're 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: you're down to nothing before the game even gets into 28 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: the second inning or the bottom of the first inning. 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 2: So it was tough to be a fan of Dodger 30 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: Stadium tonight because it was just so demoralizing. I'm guessing, 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: certainly as a viewer, if you're a Dodger fan, a 32 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: terribly demoralizing night, you know, never really in it. It 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: wasn't Please don't misunderstand me. You always felt as though 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: the Dodgers could come back. I mean, that is a 35 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: murderer's row of hitters. Dodgers could come back, certainly from 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: a three to one deficit, four to one. 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: I mean, even as things seemed to. 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: Be getting out of hand and getting away, it seemed 39 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: as though the Dodgers could launch a comeback mount, some 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: kind of comeback. But again, dominating pitching just left the 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 2: Dodgers out of things. And so Michael and Catherine at 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium in traffic. Welcome to KFI. 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having us.

As far as batting is concerned. Toronto's pitching 50 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: was on plane. You know just what it is. 51 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was a record performance from their 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: rookie pitchers, so I mean, really really impressive. 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 54 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny you mentioned the electricity because 55 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: I was there last night. The electricity in the stadium 56 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: is insane. I mean, it is so exciting it I 57 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: went because of Otani and history and wanting to be 58 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: there and to be part of it. And even though 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: they dropped the game last night, I felt all of 60 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: those things. It was a really exciting place to be, 61 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: you know. 62 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, everybody was very I mean just the pitching itself, 63 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 4: you know, like the crowd was so interactive with the 64 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 4: pitching and responsive and trying to rally the picture to 65 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: just you know, create energy to see off of, but 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: we just couldn't get it done tonight. 67 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, do you have season tickets?

Sure, I love Donna the Dead 230 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 5: and pretty much anything George Romero ever did. You can't 231 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 5: go wrong with John Carpenter with The Thing or Prince 232 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 5: of Darkness. You don't have any favorites of your own. 233 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you just mentioned one of my favorites because 234 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: to me, one of the greatest horror movies, suspense thriller 235 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: movies ever, and I have shared this with others in 236 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: doing my show. I used to have a regular, a 237 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: horror expert named Jeff Dixon, I as a writer director, 238 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: and he is, like, he does a whole countdown for 239 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 2: Halloween every year, and I asked him for his favorites. 240 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 2: Everybody's got their favorites, everybody's reorganizing their top ten. 241 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: I like what you've done. 242 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: You've mixed in some contemporaries and you've gone back and 243 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: gotten some classics, et cetera. But he mentioned this movie 244 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: as his number two favorite horror film ever, and it's 245 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: The Thing John Carpenter and that John Carpenter movie. The Thing, 246 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: to me is absolutely a ten. 247 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a flop when it was released, and 248 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 5: it really crushed poor John Carpenter, who is always ahead 249 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 5: of his time. And I can't tell you how many 250 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 5: times I've watched that. There have been a couple new 251 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 5: ones this year that I thought were outstanding and would 252 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 5: be on my ten best list, whether they were horror 253 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 5: or not. One is called Weapons, which I think has 254 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 5: just come on too streaming. I forget what channel, what 255 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 5: the service that it's on, but you can find that 256 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 5: Weapons is terrific. Also bring her Back. I don't want 257 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 5: to tell you anything going into that, but it will 258 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 5: get your attention. Well, is it super scary or is 259 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 5: it just eerie? It is quite unsettling. It is jarring. Okay, 260 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 5: not for everyone. Wow, In fact, maybe for no one. 261 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: It is the one thing about scary movies or disturbing movies, 262 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: or eerie movies or psychological thriller films is they stay 263 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: with you, like the half life can be really really intense. 264 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, you know that's that's maybe one of the 265 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: reasons that some people don't go for it, don't have 266 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: an appetite for it. 267 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, they're they're meant to be kind of like 268 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 5: a carnival ride that gets your blood pressure up, but 269 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 5: you know you're safe, you're gonna you're gonna get off 270 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 5: the ride if you trust the carnies who assemble the ride. Uh, 271 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 5: they're a lot of fun. And I think I don't 272 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 5: I don't know what attracted me to them, apart from 273 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 5: being traumatized when I was too young to see them 274 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 5: as a child. And so you know, I don't want 275 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 5: to get too in the weeds in terms of psychology. 276 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 5: But you can fetishize the things that traumatize you. Sure, 277 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 5: I see that's interesting. 278 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: All right. 279 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: Well, if you have a fave, share it with us. 280 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: Eight hundred five two oh fifteen thirty four eight hundred 281 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: five two oh one five three four favorite horror movie, 282 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: scary movie, eerie movie.

The sequels not so much. 289 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 5: Except let me say this, Halloween three, which doesn't have 290 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 5: any Michael Myers in it.

I'm not saying it was cool, but 392 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: it was not the kind of thing that would get 393 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 2: a studio had fired. I mean, there were many of 394 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: these studio heads that you know that just came with 395 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: the territory.

Hulu and Fubo 406 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 2: will make this bundle the nation's sixth largest PayTV service 407 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 2: nearly six million domestic subscribers. So this is like DirectTV 408 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: YouTube TV Charter Spectrum, Hulu Plus what they'll call Live TV, 409 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 2: and Fubo distribute traditional channels including ABC, CBS cable channels, 410 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 2: Fox News, Bravo, ESPN. The company will be overseen by 411 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 2: a nine member board. Brad Bird, the former chair of 412 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 2: Walt Disney International, will lead that board. The firm will 413 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: still offer Fubo and Hulu plus Live Tv as separate services, 414 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: available through their respective apps. Disney's investment plans, of course, 415 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 2: announced in January after the much smaller Fubo sued Disney 416 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: and two other media companies because they had plans to 417 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 2: launch a high profile streaming joint venture Venu Sports. Fubu said, hey, 418 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 2: the collaboration of Disney, Fox, and Warner Brothers Discovery is 419 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 2: a sports cartel, and that would put them out of business. 420 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: And the judge agreed on those basic anti trust concerns 421 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 2: that it was just too big a merger, and they 422 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: blocked for the development of Venu. So Disney's deal to 423 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: acquire seventy percent of Fubo ended that litigation, and now 424 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 2: the combined business will be led by Fubo chief executive 425 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: David Gandler. He co founded the service and Fubo's management team. 426 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 2: Fubo was founded a decade ago. You may see it 427 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: in different home screens when you first log on. And 428 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 2: now with Disney behind them, I mean, now they join 429 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: the Disney family, they'll have a lot of money, They'll 430 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: have the Disney sales team. They will be poised to 431 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 2: really take a dominant foothold in the market. If you're 432 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: interested in the stock, it's publicly traded under the Fubo 433 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: Fubo ticker and shares were up today one point four 434 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: percent to just over three and a half dollars. That's 435 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 2: the latest on the merger and acquisition from Disney. We 436 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: talked to Nori for a minute or two when we 437 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: come back. Mark Thompson on a Wednesday night after a 438 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: heartbreaking Dodger loss, Dodgers never could really get it going, 439 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: gave up two homers at the very start of the game, 440 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 2: and while they seemed as though they were in striking 441 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: distance dominating Toronto, pitching tonight six to one loss. 442 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 3: Toronto leads the series three to two. 443 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to K six forty on demand. 444 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: La to Mexico flights are changing. Thirteen different airline routes 445 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 2: terminated by the Trump administration the US government canceling thirteen 446 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 2: existing and planned routes connecting the US and the Felipe 447 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 2: and Elis International Airport AIFA. 448 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 3: Throwing little accent just to try to impress all of you. 449 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, the cancelations are going to affect airlines like Viva, 450 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 2: Aerobus and Aero Mexico and are crackdown on the alleged 451 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: violations of a bilateral air transport agreement. Mexican President Claudia 452 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: Scheinbaum disagreeing with this unilateral action. Other we're just taking 453 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: that without any kind of negotiation. She's going to request 454 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 2: a meeting with the US Secretary of State to discuss 455 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: this decision. Most affected routes canceled with the one airline 456 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 2: Austin and Dallas, Denver, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, 457 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 2: Miami and Orlando. In addition to these cancelations, the Transportation 458 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 2: Department has proposed borrowing Mexican passenger airlines from carrying air 459 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: cargo between Mexican and US airports. I mean, it's really 460 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: a frosty relationship that is getting frostier by the hour. 461 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 2: LA flights that are at risk, well, I mean, I 462 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 2: don't need to tell you everything going on with air 463 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: traffic controllers already making life difficult. But there is a 464 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: freeze again. This is from the Department of Transportation. The 465 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: current Department of Transportation is freezing any expansion of Mexican 466 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: airlines routes between Benito Juarez International Airport and the US. 467 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 2: This is the Department of Transportation accusing Mexico of illegally 468 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 2: canceling and freezing US carrier flights for three years without 469 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 2: any consequences, and they're saying, all right, we can freeze 470 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 2: your flights too, and staff shortages forcing a temporary groundstop 471 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: at LAX. Today the LAX Terminal five is closing for demolition. 472 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 2: These are all things that are happening at the same 473 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 2: time as these official actions to restrict travel to and 474 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: from Mexico on certain flights. A lost laptop on a 475 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: flight forced a United flight to turn around. This flight 476 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 2: carried more than two hundred people from northern Virginia to Rome, 477 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 2: and they were still near the US coast and a 478 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: passenger dropped their laptop. 479 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 3: Couldn't retrieve it. 480 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 2: It fell behind a cabin walls panel and through this 481 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 2: small gap that leads to the cargo hold. I'm always 482 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 2: amazed when there's some little gap or other aspect of 483 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: the plane that I didn't know about, never heard about before. 484 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: It turns out it turns into a major crisis if 485 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 2: something drops down there, and that's exactly what happened. They 486 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: turned the flight back around as a precaution because they 487 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: couldn't get to it. They couldn't see whether there had 488 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: been a crack in this piece of technology, and that 489 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: might have led to, you know, a lithium battery explosion. 490 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 2: Right and when it's down in the cargo hold, it's 491 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: in an area that's not their normal area that they 492 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: were to have a fire suppression system loaded. So you 493 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: get a fire down there, and that's real additional trouble 494 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: that you can't control. The air traffic controller who was 495 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: dealing with the flight said, I've never heard of anything 496 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: like this before. This is a good story to tell. 497 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: At the pilot's lounge, maintenance crews were able to find 498 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: the laptop and the flight left for Rome after an inspection. 499 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: The plane took off some time later, and it got 500 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 2: into Rome four and a half hours later than scheduled. 501 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 2: I dropped on a long flight from South America. This 502 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: wasn't that long ago, actually, I think it was last year. 503 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: I was sleeping. It was a really long flight from Chile, 504 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 2: and I had an iPad and when I turned, I 505 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 2: guess I rolled or turned to my side. The iPad 506 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 2: slipped down between the reclining seat and the wall. But 507 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: it lodged in the clining seat, like in the arm 508 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 2: rest and the cushion in that somewhere in that mechanical area. 509 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: And I couldn't reach it. I mean I could touch it, 510 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: but it wouldn't move. It was there like wedged in. 511 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 2: So I tried to move the seat up to free 512 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: it up, and then I heard crack. 513 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean it was a big crack too. 514 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,479 Speaker 3: I mean I could hear it. 515 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 2: And then I called the flight attendants over, and man, 516 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 2: it was it was Defcon City. 517 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 3: They were in. 518 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: Position, don't touch anything, don't touch anything, don't move that 519 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 2: chair again, don't and they had everybody had a Latino accident. 520 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 2: They're all from South America. So on I'm going to 521 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 2: say it was maybe another couple hours. 522 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 3: I'm there. 523 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 2: And on approach when you have to put your seat 524 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 2: up up, they said for landing you'll have to move back. 525 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 2: I was in first class by the way I played 526 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: I spent all my magic beans on first class from 527 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 2: Chile because it's a long flight. 528 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 3: They said, you'll have to move to a coach. 529 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: Because we need your chair in the complete you know, upright, 530 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: And I said, sure, no problem. So I moved back 531 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: to coach and so of the last I don't know, 532 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: maybe half hour of the flight, I was back during coach. 533 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 2: But that's not the best part. The best part was 534 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 2: I had to wait till everybody got off the plane 535 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: and then they bring in this squat team of guys 536 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: and this crew which is kind of exotic. They're all 537 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: speaking Spanish. It was very cool, and they get this thing. 538 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 2: They took the entire seat out before they could get 539 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: this iPad out, this broken iPad and there it was shattered, 540 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: and they gave it back to me. I asked the 541 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 2: entire crew to sign it with a selfie what I mean, sharpie, 542 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 2: and we were. So that's my cheating death story, and 543 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: I think it's a great way to finish up a 544 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: disappointing loss for the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight at Dodgers 545 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: Stadium to a dominating pitching performance from Toronto.
