Fifteen governors have declared the state of emergency. 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: Thousands of flights have been canceled for tomorrow and many 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: flights delayed today. It's a traveling disaster. One hundred and 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: fifty million Americans right now are under a winter stormwatch. 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: And as you know, it goes from New Mexico all 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: the way to New England. A state of emergency and 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 2: the snow hasn't started. It's just freezing cold, but it's 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: on the way and the ice and everything else. State 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: of emergency declared right now in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, 15 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: d C. There has not been a time when that 16 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: many states have been under a state of emergency at 17 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: the same time because of the same storm. One hundred 18 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: and fifty million Americans. There are only three hundred and 19 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: forty million Americans, So that's a lot. That's a lot 20 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: of Americans. Now we're here in southern California and it's 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: gonna be a little rainy tomorrow and just gorgeous on Sunday. 22 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: So we'll be watching football in our shorts and rainbow sandals, 23 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: and I might watch the game outside, like there'll be 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: people that will be watching the game outside or at 25 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: least in the outdoor patio, while one hundred and fifty 26 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: million Americans are gonna be freezing, I mean absolutely freezing. 27 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: And what makes this unique is it's not listen to 28 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: these states right Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, there will be 29 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: wides According to the National Weather Service, widespread freezing rain 30 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: and sleet sleet are expected in the Lower Mississippi Valley. 31 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: Lower Mississippi. Mississippi is already way down there, like when 32 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: you look at the map with the weather girl on 33 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: the news, Mississippi is way down there, and so not 34 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: even like the northern part of Mississippi, but the southern 35 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: part of Mississippi is going to get hit. And what 36 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: they're really concerned about is the ice. The ice is 37 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: the big problem because it's just going to be so 38 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: cold that when whatever comes out of the sky, whether 39 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: it's a freezing rain, sleet, snow, it's all just going 40 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: to turn to ice really quickly, and that is going 41 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: to cause all kinds of power outages because the ice 42 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: then is on the power lines, snaps, the lines, line 43 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: goes down and you're out of power. But excessive tree damage. 44 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: Some of these ice storm photographs are gorg just to 45 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: look at, but really bad for the tree, and then 46 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: the trees snap and that drags down the power line. 47 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: Just all really bad plus extremely dangerous and impassable travel conditions, 48 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: and they want people off the road. I heard the 49 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: governor of Texas today recommend, like every governor of all 50 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: these states all made major statements and they're all pretty 51 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: much the same. It's gonna get cold. Just be careful 52 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: out there. The governor of Texas said, if you don't 53 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: have to travel, please don't travel. And I thought that's 54 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: good advice. But who travels when they don't have to travel? 55 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: To a half inch of ice expected in Atlanta from 56 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: the winter's storm, with potential historic snowfall from the plains 57 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: to our nation's capital, and the bitter cold it already 58 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: feels like fifty below. 59 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: Fifty below. Fifty below. Now that's not the actual temperature, 60 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: although I heard in Minneapolis. Is this true? Like this 61 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: is before the storm? Here this okay, Minneapolis reached negative 62 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: twenty one this morning. That's the actual number. Negative twenty 63 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: one degrees fahrenheit. That's cold, and windchill makes it negative 64 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: forty five. So that's close to fifty below. And that's Minneapolis. 65 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: Fifty below. That's just incredible to me. That's incredible cold. 66 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: I don't even know what that feels like. I've been 67 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: in blizzards and snowstorms when you go out and it's 68 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: like nineteen degrees and it's pretty cold. I don't recall 69 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: ever going out and feeling zero, but fifty below, that's 70 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,119 Speaker 2: that's too cold for me. All right. So the first 71 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: order of business is the flights. I mean, we literally 72 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: have four hundred flights canceled today, five hundred delays, which 73 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: really ruins your day because the flight's still happening, but 74 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: the connection's lost. One hundred flights have been canceled tomorrow. 75 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: That is disruptive. If you're going anywhere like your Colmway 76 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: talk about flying up to Seattle. That's great, except if 77 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: that plane that is on its way to Lax to 78 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: fly you to Seattle started in Chicago might be late. 79 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 4: Airlines and travelers are bracing from what forecasters expect to 80 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: be major cancelations, major disruptions, major delays for air travel 81 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 4: this weekend. Cancelations hitting the boards this morning. We've already 82 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: got more than four hundred cancelations for today. Delays also 83 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: climbing more than five hundred delays across the country. Looking 84 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 4: ahead to tomorrow, we see more than fourteen hundred flights canceled. 85 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: Already fourteen hundred flights canceled. And if you fly a lot, 86 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: then you know this. And when I worked for members 87 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: of Congress as flying back and forth out of Lax 88 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: to DC all the time, and you always connect through 89 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: a hub. And I realized, I get now what they 90 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: call it a hub, because the whole flying industry is 91 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: based out of Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Fort Worth, Atlanta for sure, Boston, Washington, 92 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: d C, Dallas, and New York, New Jersey in Miami 93 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: for international flights. Like it's it's like every think of 94 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 2: all those cities, of all those cities, most of the 95 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: list right that I mentioned are all going to be 96 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 2: snowed in or at least snowblowers on the runway and 97 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: the de icer, and that's the problem. It's going to 98 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: be a big ice kind of weekend. And that de icer, 99 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: when you know it's snowing and it's cold, then works 100 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: so well. And the planes aren't going to take off 101 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: if they can't get that de icer. That's the big thing. 102 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: So it's not so much. Yeah, I'm not lou I'm 103 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: not traveling anywhere near any of these cities you mentioned 104 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 2: or any of these states that are undergoing a state 105 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: of emergency. I know, but the likelihood of that plane 106 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: having been in Chicago, Atlanta, or New Jersey or Boston 107 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: earlier that day is quite high. So it's really very disruptive. 108 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 4: Delta Airlines they took some proactive steps yesterday canceling flights 109 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: across five states, predominantly North Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee. 110 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: The major concern in that region is ice and that's 111 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 4: a problem for the airlines there, and a lot of 112 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: airlines are already issuing travel waivers heading into the weekend 113 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 4: for impact of flights. 114 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 5: Right. 115 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: I like the travel waivers. I got to give Delta 116 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: a lot of credit. Like when these airlines have problems 117 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: and it's software related, I get very aggravated. I'm like, 118 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: why can't you update your software some if you go 119 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: into some of these airports, Not at Lax so much anymore, 120 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: maybe at some of the some of the places, but 121 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: or some of the gates, But there are some airports 122 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: you will go to the gate and they will be 123 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: literally a dot matrix printer, like behind the lady, like 124 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: where the paper has got the like holes on each 125 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: side and it's fed through a dot matrix printer. I 126 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: see that, and I think the software could not be 127 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: very good if they're still using the dot matrix printer. 128 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: So when you hear these stories about you know, major problems, 129 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: whether it's Southwest or American or United or Delta, and 130 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: I think, man, why don't you people fix your software? 131 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: Why why are we still using these these monitors? WI 132 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: the goal too, So that's on them. But when it's 133 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: snowing like this, they I don't know what they could do. 134 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: They can't get the ice off the wings fast enough 135 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: and it's just troublesome. So when I see them proactively 136 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: offering you know, flight waivers, which is effectively like a 137 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: gift card to the airline and you just change your 138 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: plate and when they do it ahead of time, so 139 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: you don't even leave your house and go to the airport. 140 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: I got to I gotta gotta give them credit. Where 141 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: credit is zoom? All right? When we come back. The 142 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: question is so many people are contacting relatives. Everybody has 143 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 2: a family member or a friend in one of these 144 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: fifteen states. I mean you have to and are you 145 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: calling them and checking in on them? I told you 146 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: last night that I had my boys call their family parent, 147 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: their family members' parents in Louisiana checking on them, and 148 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: they did did you call? And what are you getting 149 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: from your family members that are in Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri? 150 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 2: What are they doing? What device are you giving them, 151 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: what feedback are they giving? 152 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: You? 153 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: Want to check in with that? That's coming up next. 154 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 155 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 2: Going over some of the numbers from the National Weather Service. 156 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: Snowfall totals exceeding twelve inches through the Ohio Valley, the 157 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: mid Atlantic, the Northeast, and the storm will cause significant 158 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: catastrophic ice accumulations. It's going to be a hell of 159 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 2: a weekend for one hundred and forty million Americans. 160 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 6: I grew up in Detroit, Michigan. And when a temperature 161 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 6: is low zero, snow bristol lies and doesn't stay. It 162 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 6: just blows in the wind. But when the temperature is 163 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 6: like thirty degrees, that's when it starts sticking and start packing. 164 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: That's when you in trouble. Yeah, that's thirty degrees. We're 165 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 2: getting reports of negative twenty one in Minneapolis. 166 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 7: I always love your show, Lou. I grew up in 167 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 7: de Lewis, Minnesota, and I remember my senior year in 168 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 7: high school. It was nineteen eighty. It got down to 169 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 7: seventy two degrees below zero with a wind shar of 170 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 7: about twenty coming off Lake Superior, so it was about 171 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 7: one hundred degrees below zero. And guess what, we still 172 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 7: went to school. I guess we were a bit tougher 173 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 7: back then. All right, keep up the great work. Love it. 174 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: Seventy two degrees below zero on the thermometer. Does it 175 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: even go down to seventy two? That's cold, that's really cold. 176 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: So it's true. 177 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: The story on Little House in the Prairie, which was 178 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: also Minnesota. It was Walnut Grove but it actually happened. 179 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it when I was watching that. Remember 180 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: it was Christmas and Miss Beadle let the kids go 181 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: home early on Christmas Eve because they were so excited. 182 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: But the big storm hit and all the kids were 183 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 2: walking home in the middle of the blizzard, and you know, 184 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 2: people started freezing to death, and they had to bring 185 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 2: everybody because the schoolhouse on Little House in the Prairie 186 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: is also the church, but it also serves as the 187 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: hospital whenever there's a real problem in Walnut Grove, and 188 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 2: they had to go find the kids. They couldn't find 189 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: the kids because it so much so it came so 190 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: fast and the temperature dropped so much that all the 191 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: men in Walnut Grove had to go out there and 192 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: find all the children. Then the men started freezing to death. 193 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: And it was very sad, very sad episode, and Miss 194 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: Beetle felt so bad, but so lor Ingall's Wilder was right. 195 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: She was not exaggerating. It can get that cold in 196 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: Minnesota that quickly. Boy oh boy, remember Mark Ronner that 197 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: episode of Little House in the Prairie when everybody got 198 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: sent home when they all got caught in the snow 199 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. Pah pah. No. I was never a big 200 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: watcher of that show. Oh you got to watch it, 201 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: especially this weekend. You'll get a glimpse of what they're 202 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: doing in Minnesota because they're actually living it. 203 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 5: I miss seasons, and I don't mind winter. And I'm 204 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 5: kind of fascinated by movies and shows that take place 205 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 5: in snowy landscapes. I mean, not the kind where you're 206 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 5: dead immediately if you're exposed to any of it, but 207 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 5: I like that stuff. We have this argument at home 208 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 5: all the time. I miss notable seasons. I don't mind 209 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 5: a little bit of snow every now and then. I 210 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 5: like the changes it makes me remember that we're kind 211 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 5: of in a cycle and I'm a living human being. 212 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 2: Well, a little snowfall is one thing. Fifty degrees below 213 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: zero that's too cold. No, that's insane. And this guy 214 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 2: walked to school at negative seventy two and that's great. 215 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: But I wouldn't recommend you to do that. I look 216 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: what happened to the kids at Walnut Grove that night. Yes, 217 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 2: Walnut Grove set an example for all of us to follow. 218 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: I mean that's you know, when they all got to 219 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: lay down and hot water, trying to get everybody's body 220 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: temperature down. Do you have any family of friends in 221 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: any of these states that are now in a state 222 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: of emergency? He contacted them, called them and said, hey, guys, 223 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: are making sure that you're watching the news. Right. 224 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 5: I still know a ton of people in Indiana, where 225 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 5: my first newspaper job was, but they're on their own. 226 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 5: They can handle themselves there. 227 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: They're used to. Right. 228 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 5: The winters in Chicago, which is just slightly to the north, 229 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 5: are so brutal. These people know what to do. 230 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not worried about the Midwest. I'm really not 231 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: worried about like even New York and Texas, I'm not 232 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: that worried about. But people that are in Louisiana and Mississippi. 233 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're not used to that. They're they're in for 234 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 5: a nasty learning curve. 235 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: And they're all buying everything they can buy. I don't 236 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: know that they sell snowshovels at the Ace Hardware in Jackson, Mississippi. 237 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 2: I suspect they don't. So I don't you know, freezing rain. 238 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: It's just it's gonna be a it's gonna be a 239 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: big weekend, and there are people on social media that 240 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: are challenging the storyline. They're saying that the news people 241 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: are hyping this up too much. Here's one, I really 242 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: wish the weather community would stop with all the fear 243 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: mongering nonsense. It's winner We have cold spells and storms 244 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: every year. Here's another. I don't understand people grocery shopping 245 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: like they are going to be stuck in the house 246 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: for a month. So there's a lot of people pushing 247 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: back saying, you know, what, is it a slow news week? 248 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: You guys are hyping up the storm like it's that 249 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: big of a deal. But I think it is a 250 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: big deal. Well. 251 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 5: Also, remember I'm sorry you made a you made a 252 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 5: really good point. Either last night or the night before. 253 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 5: Stock up on booze, right, absolutely, you don't want to 254 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 5: get caught. 255 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: No, Yeah, you gotta have beer and wine because that's 256 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: the only thing that's that's gonna get you through. I 257 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: don't remember the last time that fifteen states were under 258 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: a state of emergency for the same that hasn't hit yet, 259 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: like tornadoes. Yes, but after the tornado or after the flood, 260 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: there's a state of emergency because we're trying to get 261 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: people housed and safe. But the snow hasn't fallen. No 262 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 2: snow has fallen yet, and fifteen states are currently under 263 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: a state of emergency, including Washington, DC, so they're prepared 264 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: for a hell of a weekend. 265 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 5: I think it's a big deal. Yeah, I think we're 266 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 5: doing for some for some grim headlines by Monday. I'm 267 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 5: not looking forward to that. 268 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: And everybody in Southern California is just so happy that 269 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: we're in Southern California. 270 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 8: Luegi Chicago in here. Remind all your listeners to call 271 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 8: their family and friends in the places they're gonna get 272 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 8: hit and have them leave their faucets dripping in their tubs, sinks, 273 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 8: et cetera, any faucet they have so the dripping will 274 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 8: keep the pipes from freezing. Just a small amount of 275 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 8: water coming through otherwise's a lot of people are gonna 276 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 8: have cracked broken water. 277 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: Hey, I appreciate that plumber pro tip right there from 278 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: a former Chicagoan. Yeah, I think that's right. I think 279 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: all the people that moved out of Southern California for 280 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: a better quality of life, cheaper housing, and a better 281 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: way to raise a family that moved to Tennessee or Florida, 282 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: they don't know anything about leaving the water on gott them. 283 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: Think the yoga moms from Huntington Beach know that't know 284 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: anything about that. 285 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 5: That is a terrific point about leaving the water dripping 286 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 5: in the pipes, because, believe me, the last thing you 287 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 5: want in a horrible winter storm is a flood that 288 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 5: happened in a place I lived once. And I promise 289 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 5: you don't want to deal with that now. 290 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: You don't want the busted pipes, that is for sure. 291 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 292 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: A lot of people in southern California are really getting 293 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: tired of the national news networks talking about the store 294 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: because it doesn't affect us. But I don't I think 295 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: that's fair. I think it is a big story. And 296 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: as I said, a lot of people in southern California 297 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: are transplants, and that means they have family home. And 298 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: as the caller from Chicago said, people that moved to 299 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: these states. You know, the growth area in the United 300 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: States is the southeast. That's where everybody's going. Tennessee has exploded. 301 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: The next big state is going to be Alabama, Jacksonville, Florida. 302 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,239 Speaker 2: You really can't You thought that you could sell your 303 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: house in La and go buy a big house in Jacksonville, Florida. 304 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: Not anymore. And they got plenty of room in Texas, 305 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: so that's never going to be a problem. You could 306 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: sell your house in southern California and go buy six 307 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: houses that are five thousand square foot each in Texas 308 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: and still have about two hundred thousand dollars in cash leftover. 309 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: So but you know, they're not used to this kind 310 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: of weather. So there's a couple of realities in the 311 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: news business. 312 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 6: Though. 313 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: I was having this conversation with one of the news 314 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: people who's from southern California, from San Diego actually, and 315 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: I said, you have to realize that there's gonna be 316 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: a natural East Coast bias all the time. There is 317 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: an East Coast bias in the news because some of 318 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: the large news bureaus are in New York and in Washington, 319 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: d C. Because a lot of news comes out of 320 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: DC obviously, and a lot of the headquarters are in 321 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 2: New York City. So when like things, whether things that happen, 322 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 2: that leads because it impacts their lives so directly. So 323 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 2: that's that. And also it's been kind of a slow 324 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 2: news week. There's only so much Trump Davos story to cover, 325 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: and there's been little ouse. So what happens is stories 326 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: get expanded upon and reporters have to enterprise a story. 327 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 2: In other words, all right, this big storm is gonna happen. 328 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: Nobody in you know, fifteen states is gonna be thinking 329 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 2: about anything else. So figure out some other angle to 330 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 2: the story, and they basically fill the news with more 331 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: of the same story, just different angles on it.

Neil Sevendra told me that 476 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: the cheeseburger was reportedly invented in Pasadena by a teenager 477 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: who was working in his dad's shop and got distracted 478 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: for a minute and didn't flip the burger.

To be thrifty, he just 482 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 2: covered it with a slice of cheese and served it. 483 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: And the guy loved it. Didn't expect the cheese bit 484 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: into it and said, that was great. Is that new? Yeah, 485 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 2: the new thing we got going on here. What's it called. 486 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 2: It's called the cheeseburger.

So that's gonna 501 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: be the big thing. Everybody's into the spicy something. The 502 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: hot honey is the new thing. I don't know when 503 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 2: honey became a thing on breakfast Sandwichessh you put that on? 504 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 2: I mean, the sausage McMuffin is perfect. Why add anything 505 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: to it? 506 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 15: Well, I think part of it was also when they 507 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 15: introduced the mcgriddle, which is a sweetened bread so it's 508 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 15: like a pancake basically for the bread, and that makes 509 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 15: it sweet. So I think that kind of just, you know, 510 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 15: kind of went to other aspects of breakfast. 511 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 2: But yeah, they said the mcgriddle is a hit with people, 512 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 2: and it is. I don't prefer it. I don't like 513 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: my bread tasting, like pancakes are very different to me 514 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 2: than egg cheese and sausage. So I don't want the 515 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: two to go together, but I get it. It's kind 516 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: of fun and that m Ison there, that's very cool. 517 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 2: So they decided, Look, the mcgriddle's a hit, how do 518 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: we incorporate that. Let's just without changing the menu. Let's 519 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: just give somebody. Let's give people something to pour it on, 520 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 2: because it's not some people do this. I see these 521 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 2: hacks on TikTok. You know that they take the dippings 522 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: sauce for the chicken nuggets and put it on burgers, 523 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: Like that's somewhat common. Sweet and sour sauce is a 524 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 2: big common one, but there's like those dipning sauces really 525 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 2: aren't used very much for other sandwiches. And really, this 526 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: MMC hoot honey is designed to not just be a 527 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: McNugget sauce, but like like up there with ketchup and 528 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: mustard packets. Yeah, like a glaze almost, but on the chicken. 529 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 15: No, no, no, I don't agree with it, but I'm 530 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 15: saying I think that maybe that's what they're going for. 531 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: So they're saying it goes on. You can add it 532 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: to any of the snack wraps and any of the 533 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: chicken sandwiches and any breakfast item. And as you said, 534 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 2: the mcgriddle already is honey e ish. Yeah, and uh 535 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: what you can't put it on? I guess with the 536 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 2: egg and cheese biscuit, I don't know. I think we're 537 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 2: going too far. You gotta be careful. McDonald's has to 538 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: be careful. They have nailed it on so many of 539 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: there's sandwiches. There are things inside that building. There are 540 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 2: literally items inside those golden arches that are spot on perfect, 541 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 2: do not need to be modified, cannot be improved upon. 542 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: The quarter pounded with cheese cannot be improved upon. It 543 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 2: is the gold standard of what a cheeseburger ought to be. 544 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 2: People try and get fancy with cheeseburgers. They try and 545 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: make them into a toss salad on top, and they 546 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 2: got a grilled onions and raw onions, and over at 547 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 2: Chili's they're using red onions, which is absolutely absurd. Red 548 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: onions do not belong on a burger at all. The 549 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 2: only onion you put on a burger is a white onion. 550 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: If you're gonna grill onions, then the only onion you 551 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: use is a yellow onion. But you never ever would 552 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: have a red onion anywhere near a Hamburger and a chili's. 553 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 2: They're doing it. So everybody's trying to get fancy and 554 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 2: colorful when it's perfect the way it is. And you know, 555 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 2: I get it. They want to expand the menu and 556 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: get some excitement and get you know, something new for 557 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 2: people to talk about. But you know, people will put 558 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: anything on everything and then decide and that hurt my 559 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 2: stomach and then uh, you know, skip going to McDonald's 560 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: next time. That's what's gonna happened to watch these TikTok 561 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: videos and put sweet and sour sauce on their big 562 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 2: mac and be grossed out and they'll have then, you know, 563 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: kind of a Pavolovian reaction, every reaction when they crossed 564 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 2: the you know, they passed by a McDonald's. 565 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 15: Everyone wants to be the first one to be like, oh, 566 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 15: I discovered this great new thing, you know, right when 567 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 15: it happens, and they can say I was the original. 568 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: But you know, the King had an entire ad campaign 569 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 2: made out of that. They entire entire ad campaign where 570 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: they challenged the world to improve upon the Whopper and 571 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: they finally came up with one. I think it was 572 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: barbecue sauce, and you know onion rings or so you 573 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: had to use what's already available at Burger King. Put 574 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 2: it on the whopper and you win the contest. And 575 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 2: some guy did and it looks awful like I would 576 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: never order it like this idiot doesn't know how to 577 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: make a hamburger. Why am I listening to him? But 578 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: the good news is the double cheeseburger, which I think 579 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: the two. They used to have two mcdoubles. They cut 580 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: that out. The mcdouble was a double cheeseburger, but they 581 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: cheated you on one slice of cheese. So now you're 582 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: back there running now the special two double cheeseburgers, buy one, 583 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 2: get the second for a dollar. I think that's the 584 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 2: best deal going. A lot of protein, a lot of 585 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: youm and you can't go wrong. But for tomorrow, only 586 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 2: twenty five cent double cheeseburger. I have no idea what 587 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 2: you have to sign up for. I'm sure you have 588 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: to attach your debit card to the app or something 589 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: to make this all happen, But good luck.
