00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: Like you see Andy and you feel like there's just

00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,440

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: mudslide of talent happening, which, by the way, we could

31
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: be seeing some more of this week. The conversations all

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: last week were about obviously the holidays, year end.

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: You know, most of us, if we're honest, we're mailing

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: it in.

35
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: But then Kill agrees with me on that, right Killer,

36
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: most of us we're just mailing it in.

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: End of the year kind of stuff.

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: So was talking a lot about the the weather that's

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: coming this way, and I thought this is gonna suck.

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: ABC seven was telling us about what exactly you can expect.

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 6: Well, they were enjoy it while it lasts.

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: You gotta love when they start that way, right, Enjoy

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: it while it lasts.

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 6: Enjoy it while it lasts. Because a very different picture

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 6: comes our ways. We end to next week, you will

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 6: want the umbrella, the jackets of the rain jacket, I

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 6: should say, because we have some rain heading our way

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 6: for several days.

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 7: Now. The reason for this is we've had.

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: I always love it when meteorologists tell us you're gonna

51
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: want the umbrella and you're gonna want the jacket, unless

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: she clarifies, You're gonna want the rain jacket. Man, I'm

53
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: gonna go out there in my big down jacket and

54
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna start raining, and then I'm gonna look like

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: a soggy poodle. I'm gonna say, curse you, meteorologist. You

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: should have told me rain jacket. That's exactly what's gonna happen.

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 7: We d next week.

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 6: You will want the umbrella, the jackets of the rain jacket.

59
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: I see she had to clarify.

60
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 6: She should say, because we have some rain heading our

61
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 6: way for several days.

62
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 3: But how much rain is it really?

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 7: Now?

64
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 6: The reason for this is we've had high pressure just

65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 6: sitting over so the California that's gonna start to break down,

66
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 6: letting the jet stream move south. So we're gonna tap

67
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 6: into this atmospheric river, arriving by Tuesday afternoon Tuesday evening.

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 6: So it's looking like we're gonna see anywhere from three

69
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 6: to five inches.

70
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: Oh wow, three to five inches. It's a hell of

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: a lot of rain for one week.

72
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 6: Over the course of next week. Now, the bulk of

73
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 6: that rain is gonna be Tuesday night into Wednesday, and

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 6: you can see some of those moderate pockets there. That's

75
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 6: also a chance for some thunderstorm potential, but it doesn't

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 6: move out just then. Thursday Friday also seemed like we're

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 6: gonna see not as much, but some light rainfall lingering.

78
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 6: So our burn scar areas especially, that's gonna.

79
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 7: Be the area of concern.

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 6: Will keep a really close eye on that. But for now,

81
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 6: just enjoy what is going to be a nice, warm

82
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 6: Sunday weekend, seventy three for you in film warm La

83
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 6: Orange County. Seventy degrees out there today. Stop the upper

84
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 6: by your Sunday so we are cooling. It's just gradual,

85
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 6: all right.

86
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: Forget about that. I was.

87
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: My wife told me. She says, well, we're driving to

88
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: Phoenix for Christmas. Oh God, come on, come on, can't

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: we just She says, well, you know my family's there.

90
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: How come they never come to us?

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: You know my family's there, we have to go see them, Like,

92
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: why do we have to go there? Because there's more

93
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: of them there, so it's easier for us to travel.

94
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Can't we just have one holiday where we don't have

95
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: to go see your family? But then I don't say

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: that aloud, but I definitely say.

97
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: That in my head. And so yeah, I'm looking forward

98
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: to it so exciting.

99
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a six hour drive if there's no traffic,

100
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Oh good lord. But then probably because I was like

101
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: two gummies in, my brain started going into a weird place.

102
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: And I don't know that anybody has had the nads

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: to ask this question before, but I think I think

104
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: it's something that makes a lot of sense your two

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: gummies in, and that is Santa is always wearing a

106
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: big red jacket. As you heard, you want to have

107
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: your jacket ready, But then she clarified and said your

108
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: rain jacket.

109
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 7: A ways, we had him to next week.

110
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 6: You want the umbrella the jacket of the rain jacket,

111
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 6: I should say.

112
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: So I was.

113
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: Thinking, does Santa have a rain jacket or is it

114
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: just that big heavy wool jacket that he wears, And

115
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: then I was messing with my nephew, and I said,

116
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: who's he's I'm so excited you're gonna come see us.

117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Oh crap, And I said yeah. I said, hey, what

118
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: does Santa do when he's there? Because look, our temperatures are,

119
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: you know, we're cooling off a little bit. But my

120
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: wife's family says, oh, you guys could wear shorts. It's

121
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: like eighty here. Oh crap. So not what I'm looking

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: forward to. I've got I've got my winter skin on

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: right now. It's very unattractive, very pace. So I'm not

124
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: looking forward to wearing shorts to Christmas. And so I

125
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: then pitched this to my nephew and I said, hey,

126
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: pretty warm there. I think Santa is gonna get hot

127
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: and he just like, you know, you know how kids are.

128
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, is he gonna get hot?

129
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: Because what do we always think of Santa. You think

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: of Santa and you think the rain deer and they're

131
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: always flying around snowy climates. But do you see any

132
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: snow here? No, I mean unless you're in the mountains,

133
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: there's no snow here.

134
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: And what about like Peru, huh? What about uh uh Honduras?

135
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Huh?

136
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: It's hot? So does Santa have a wardrobe change.

137
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean, part of this I was trying to mess

138
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: with my nephew, and the other part is I was

139
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: just trying to stay conscious. And and then I thought,

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: if it's raining, does Santa? Does Santa have a rain coat?

141
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: And then so my nephew went and talked to my

142
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 2: sister in law and she said, Santa moves too fast.

143
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: He dodges the rain drops. And I thought, okay, that

144
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: was a pretty good answer by her. And then I

145
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: started thinking more about that, because again I was in

146
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: that state of mind, and so I said, uh. I

147
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: didn't say this aloud because I had the wherewithal to non,

148
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: but I found it odd. Okay, Santa is moving so

149
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: fast he can dodge the rain drops even though there's

150
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: an atmospheric river. But whatever, let's just imagine because he's magical, right,

151
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: he can do that. But doesn't he park that sleigh

152
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: on the roof?

153
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 3: So does he just leave the reindeer out there getting

154
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: all that getting wet?

155
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: And does he put a towel down on the on

156
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: the seat of the sleigh or does he come back

157
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: up the chimney and then he sits in a puddle.

158
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: I mean, these are questions that nobody has ever had

159
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: the gumption to ask before.

160
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: I'm very bothered by the whole thing.

161
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a lot of a lot of

162
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: legi that are simply being swept under the rug and

163
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: explained away with its magic and everything can be magic. Kids,

164
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 2: Sata got some splaining to do. We got holiday crowns,

165
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: we got record travel numbers, we got a new twist.

166
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: It's some very major airports, which means that if you

167
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: are flying out this week, it is absolutely going to

168
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: be the worst experience of your life. Why you need

169
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: to up your prozac before you go? Is next Chris Meryl.

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

171
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: Our talkback question today. What is the best part about

172
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: the holidays and what is the worst? I think I

173
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: made very clear for me. It's the long drive I

174
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: have to do to go see my wife's family, she says,

175
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: and then we can just stay there, and I go, No,

176
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to stay there. We have to drive

177
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: to We have to drive to the east side of Phoenix.

178
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: They live in a suburb like an hour outside of Phoenix,

179
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: so I have to drive all the way through.

180
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: It takes forever to get there, she says.

181
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: Oh.

182
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: I said, well, what time are they eating?

183
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: She said, well, they'd like to eat at like eleven,

184
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: So we're leaving here like four thirty or what. Well

185
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: I told them maybe like one would be better. Oh

186
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: my gosh, the nightmare scenario just horrible. So, uh yeah,

187
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: family is the worst part about the house. Oh no,

188
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to say that.

189
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: Oh.

190
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 2: Travel is the worst part about the holidays. Travel to

191
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: my wife's family. Yeah, that's the worst part. What's the

192
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: best part about the holidays is all the time I

193
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: get to spend with my wife in the car because

194
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: she's such a good navigator.

195
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: She never tells me I'm doing it all wrong, and

196
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: that's wonderful.

197
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: Chris Merril, just a suggestion, But can't you FaceTime your

198
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: in laws so you don't have to do all that driving.

199
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 5: I don't have any in laws because I'm not married.

200
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: But you're so smart.

201
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 5: I think that's a good idea.

202
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a good idea. My wife would never

203
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: go for it. Oh you think that counts.

204
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 8: Well, you think that's great.

205
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: Won't that be fun? We can we can travel and

206
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: she says, we can just stay there. You can sleep

207
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: on the couch. Oh no, I think we're gonna turn

208
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: around to come back. That's all I think we're gonna do.

209
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: She says, Now, you want us to drive twelve hours

210
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: in a day, and I said no, I'd like us

211
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: to drive zero hours in a day. But you volunteered

212
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: us to go to the inlaws. So if I gotta suffer,

213
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: you gotta suffer. Won't that be fun? What are the

214
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: best parts and the worst parts of the holidays for you?

215
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: Hit us up with that talkback iHeartRadio app. Hit the

216
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: talkback button. Meanwhile, I'm not alone. If you're traveling, I'm traveling.

217
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: We're all traveling. In fact, I think it's like a

218
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: third of all Americans are set to travel. Fox eleven

219
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,520

221
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,840

222
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 10: for an over for a while away was thirty five dollars.

223
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,200

230
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: There you go. Also, could we just not do the

231
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: report from under the planes?

232
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 11: I took away Moo instead of an uber life because

233
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 11: it was three times as much to take an uber.

234
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 8: He says.

235
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,079

243
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: for me. I can feel the tension in my neck

244

Speaker 2: as we speak. I can feel it. I can feel

245
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,240

Speaker 2: Sure, or as my son would say, that's that's M

253
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: path coded. He just kept saying coded a lot this weekend,

254
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: and I said, calling things coded is very gen Z coded,

255
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: and he went, oh too.

256
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 9: Che Across the south Land are packed bumper to bumper

257
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 9: and adding to the pain, Caltrans continuing it's work on

258
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 9: the four or five, shutting down three lanes in each

259
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 9: direction until Monday morning.

260
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,559

261
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I don't want to. I was looking at

262
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: the traffic actually all weekend long. I was just you know,

263
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: kind of checking in on on.

264
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

265
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: It's just yesterday was such a mess. It looked like

266
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 2: it was a like a Monday afternoon. It was so bad.

267
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: Traffic was just so miserable. In fact, looking at it

268
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: right now, traffic's pretty miserable right now. Golly, just can't wait,

269
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: can't wait to travel. It's gonna be such a good time.

270
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: That's my issue. We put too much emphasis on the holidays.

271
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 2: We with too much emphasis on expectations for the holidays.

272
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: That's what my wife does, that's what her family does.

273
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: That's what drives me crazy. You know what I want

274
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: for expectations None, with zero expectations. That's what holiday means,

275
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: a break from things, not cheapers. Life sucks. Let's make

276
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: it worse.

277
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: Boy maya grinch today? Huh? I am a real miser,

278
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: all right, totally.

279
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: The lawmakers, the law breakers, the times that there ought

290
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,880

292
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: marker of, you know, expectations that have gone unfulfilled.

293
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,360

00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: Well, I'm on Amazon. What else do you want anything else?

314
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 8: I was just doing Google or the hit shopping.

315
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 11: Can I just get it? Can you just get a

316
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 11: COVID test, get a blue marker and just draw the line?

317
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 8: Are such an evil genius?

318
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 11: It's true.

319
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

320
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: I had a lot of high school girlfriends that try

321
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: to trap me into relationships that way, and I figured

322
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: out how to find the eraser real fast.

323
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: All right, I want to look into it, Kayla, will

00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: during the week. She refuses to work weekdays. It's the

333
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: weirdest thing.

334
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 7: I do.

335
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,480

Speaker 13: This is always suck when my Silm is small because

338
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 13: we spend the whole thing driving. We'd go up to

339
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 13: his dad's in tat Karita have Christmas, and then we

340

00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,200

Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, I know, isn't that But it's the holidays.

343
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: Don't you want to be with your family? Oh? I

344
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: like the zoom idea. I'd like to get more families

345
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: that are okay with just being on Zoom. Wouldn't that

346
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: be fun? Maybe we'll do that this year's all grown?

347
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: What's up?

348
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 8: You can't I which want to update the COVID thing.

349
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 12: Sorry you can't buy a positive one, but you could

350
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 12: buy just a regular one and dip it in soda. Apparently,

351
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 12: and it'll come out positive.

352
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: That sounds like an internet below soda or juice might

353
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: give that a shot might be worth it might be.

354
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 12: Worth it, all right, all.

355
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: Right, every Sunday at this time we do it, the lawmakers,

356
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: the lawbreakers, and the times that there ought to be

357
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: a law.

358
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: You find yourself in a predicament.

359
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: You find yourself feeling the need to get away from

360
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: those people with badges and uniforms. Unfortunately you didn't bring

361
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: your whip, and so what do you do? The only

362
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: reasonable thing that anyone could do.

363
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: You steal something and you take off breaking right now.

364
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 14: A bizarre pursuit involving a stolen ambulance Genius Absolute Genius.

365
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 15: Ambulance belongs to the Los Angeles Fire Department. It was

366
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 15: stolen from a scene in Northridge. From air seven, we

367
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 15: could see multiple fire trucks, but it's still unclear exactly

368
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 15: what type of call brought a cruise to this location. Well, meantime,

369
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 15: the stolen ambulance was heading northbound on the fourteenth Freeway

370
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 15: into the Aguadulce area. However, all airships had to pull

371
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 15: back due.

372
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 7: To the heavy fog in the area. Now our assignment

373
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 7: oh hang.

374
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: On write that down, Kayla, Okay, if we have to

375
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: do it, hold on, this is actually that's a hack

376
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know about.

377
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a pen here if.

378
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: If running from police, do it on foggy night, no

379
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: air support.

380
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 3: All right, put that in my criminal file, Kaila, just

381
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: for when.

382
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 8: We need it.

383
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 7: Desk is tracking this pursuit. What or was? I should say? Rather,

384
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 7: because we have.

385
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 15: Just learned within moments ago that the suspect was taken

386
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 15: into custody in the Palmdale area. So some good news

387
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 15: for that stolen ambulance pursuit there.

388
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: That is good because I don't know.

389
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't think we have an abundance of ambulances, so

390
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that losing one could mean somebody else's life

391
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: is in significant danger. But it also makes you wonder

392
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: did somebody call call in a fire all in a

393
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: crash just so they could steal an emergency vehicle. That's

394
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: diabolical if that's the case. But that is not the

395
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 2: lowest of the low, not this week.

396
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 3: No, no, no.

397
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: When it comes to our lawmakers, law breakers, and the

398
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: times that there ought to be a law. There ought

399
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 2: to be a law that says if you break this law,

400
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: you instantly are burned at the stake.

401
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Some things, just kids from Kitla.

402
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 7: Not be replaced.

403
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 16: And what was inside that woman's necklace, inside the cross

404
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 16: on that necklace was her daughter's ashes. And tonight, oh

405
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 16: she is pleading with these thieves or anyone who might

406
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 16: know them watching tonight to please return that necklace.

407
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: How many thieves do you think sit down and watch

408
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: the nightly news.

409
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 12: Not many, but they're probably on TikTok and Instagram and

410
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 12: hopefully they're sharing the stories there too.

411
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: Boy, that's a good point.

412
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 11: I think that's too busy fieving all.

413
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 8: Day every day to these guys.

414
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: They're not off.

415
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 11: Yeah. I remember reading a story a while back, and

416
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 11: I think it was in I think it was in

417
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 11: Mexico when when the World Cup, when the international team plays,

418
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 11: or a football a called Hernandez was playing for Man United,

419
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 11: crime would go down because everybody's watching the football.

420
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 3: Yeah that's crazy. Oh yeah, but they're.

421
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 2: Not watching the nightly news exactly the thieving they're thieving, right,

422
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: So the key is to have more international sporting events.

423
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 12: Well, I think if they had that kind of work ethic,

424
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 12: they'd be having an honest day's work. I'm pretty sure

425
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 12: they are on social media nine times out of ten

426
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 12: ce in their mugshot.

427
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 3: Social medio leaps to crime. Yeah, I agree with it.

428
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 16: Or at the very least return the cross. Let's show

429
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 16: you some pictures of Estra Guerrero. This is her holding

430
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 16: a photo of her daughter, Veronica. She's a retired Los

431
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 16: Angeles County Sheriff's deputy who was tragically killed at a

432
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 16: car accident Idaho earlier this year.

433
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 3: Now, the story keeps getting worse.

434
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 16: In those videos, you can see that she's holding across

435
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 16: that's her husband's. They each had one, and the stolen

436
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 16: one looks just like that one On Monday, the seventy

437
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 16: five year.

438
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: Old with that's a really nice way to remember you

439
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: your child that died.

440
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: I think it's really nice.

441
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I don't think you ever have closure,

442
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: but if you have that, I think that's a really

443
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: nice way to do it. Boy, I hate to be

444
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: serious about these stories, but I got to be serious

445
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: about that.

446
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 3: I think that's a really great thing to do.

447
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 16: Coming home from shopping, she was in the three hundred

448
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 16: block of South Gerhard Avenue in East LA when a

449
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 16: white car pulled up.

450
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 7: Surveillance video shows.

451
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 16: The interaction with Esther. The driver asked for directions while

452
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 16: another person got out of the car and asked for

453
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 16: a hug because she said her mom was ill.

454
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 7: And during that interaction.

455
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 16: That's weird, the woman or the person put a different

456
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 16: necklace on her and then took off the other one

457
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 16: the duo took off. Moments later, Esther realized that her

458
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 16: gold necklace with her daughter's ashes had been stolen right

459
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 16: off her neck.

460
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: So they did the swap like there was.

461
00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 2: Some some East London pickpocket that was basically just a

462
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: jab at Oliver. But I mean that's really what it is,

463
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 2: isn't it. I mean, also, the name Oliver comes from

464
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: I mean these jokes, right, Dickens and Oliver. It's all

465
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: about pickpocketing. So it's kind of a resident expert. It's

466
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: all I got. Were where were you?

467
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: Allie?

468
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: Imagine you're in a driverless taxi, the traffic lights go dark.

469
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: What do you suppose your car would do?

470
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: Surely there are contingencies for that, Right, It's not like

471
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: your car would just shut off and make make you

472
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: an invisible target on the freeway.

473
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: Right. That autonomous chaos is next.

474
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: Chris Merrill you're listening to KFI A M six forty

475
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: on demand.

476
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: Sometimes we get people who I think are a little

477
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 2: too deep into their their wacky taffy when they call

478
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: the talkbacks, But then I do get some great suggestions,

479
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 2: so we were My least favorite part about the holidays

480
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: is that I have to travel a long distance to

481
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: pretend to have a perfect holiday with the in laws

482
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: who I know their lives aren't perfect. My life isn't perfect,

483
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: but we all have to pretend it's a perfect time.

484
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: I hate it.

485
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: I can't stand that my wife always puts all these

486
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: expectations and I always let her down. You think at

487
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: some point she would she would get to know I'm

488
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 2: going to let her down.

489
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: So from the talkbacks, Chris.

490
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 14: You should tell your in laws to move to the

491
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 14: western suburbs of Phoenix.

492
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my in laws live on the way east

493
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: side of Phoenix. So not only do I have to

494
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: drive the fix, I did have to drive to the

495
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: other side, which is brutal.

496
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 3: Is brutal.

497
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: It's like if you live in Orange County and you

498
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: have to go to San Diego. That's a whole lot

499
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: different than if you live in Santa Clarita.

500
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: And you have to drive to sand Diu. You know

501
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: what I mean. That's kind of the sit here.

502
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 14: Lorado, goodyear, But guy, we have no prime here, no homeless,

503
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 14: no homeless to pet, no homeless to move off the street,

504
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 14: no homeless to bed, and we all got guns.

505
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: You'll love it here.

506
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: No homeless and everyone has guns. All right, all right, man,

507
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 2: I'll talk to them about that.

508
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

509
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'd be real happy to move to the

510
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: other side. Fantastic big power outage in.

511
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 3: Bay Area.

512
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: This week which created a bit of a havoc. As

513
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: you might imagine, power goes out for a large swath

514
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 2: of any town, it's going to be a problem, right.

515
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: So ABC seven was talking about that power outage and

516
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: they were starting to get the power turned back on how.

517
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 14: We're slowly returning to the Bay Area after an outage

518
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 14: left about thirty percent of San Francisco in the dark.

519
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 14: Pacific Gas and Electrics has more than twenty thousand customers

520
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 14: still without electricity this morning, but that is down from

521
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 14: one hundred and thirty thousand yesterday.

522
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: Wow, what do you think they did? Power's out? Can't

523
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: charge your phone, you can only scroll through TikTok for

524
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 2: so long.

525
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 14: The outage is reportedly caused by a fire at a

526
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 14: substation there. It was the same substation that was actually

527
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 14: responsible for a major blackout back in two thousand and three.

528
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 14: The outage also affected bart trains and some Internet service.

529
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 14: Last nineteen, Mara of San Francisco even asked people to

530
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 14: stay off the streets because many traffic lights were out

531
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 14: across the city.

532
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's those traffic lights that were out that

533
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: created another issue, and that is that the Waymos didn't

534
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: know what to do. The Waymos got completely confused. So

535
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: a bunch of social media videos out there showing the

536
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: robotaxis just stopped in the middle of the streets, turn

537
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 2: their hazards on. They basically shut down. It's as though

538
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: they have a fight or flight response, and there's a

539
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 2: just constantly flight. Just when the going gets tough, stop

540
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: and cry. That's it. It's like a high school girlfriend like.

541
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: I don't know why he's so mean to me. I'm

542
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: not gonna communicate and use my words. I'm just gonna cry. Stop.

543
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: So Weaimo temporarily suspending their autonomous ride healing service because

544
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: the vehicles were stranded in the middle of dark intersections.

545
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: So once again, this is the second week in a

546
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: row that we've had issues with Waimo getting confused. And

547
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: to be clear, I'm a fan of the autonomous vehicles.

548
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of the way that this that this

549
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: technology is advancing, but these growing pains are a real.

550
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: Pain and predictable.

551
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 2: So way moos go down to the end of a

552
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: cul de sac and then they have to try to

553
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: turn around as they've got more Waymos behind them, and

554
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: they all get stuck.

555
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: They go, but you go, you go, I go, No, no,

556
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: you go, no, I go.

557
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: And I thought that there was supposed to be some

558
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: neural network where they were all conversing with one another

559
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: in order to operate in a more efficient manner, but

560
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: we're not there yet, and so they get all confused.

561
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: The lights go out, the traffic lights are gone, the

562
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: street lights are gone, and then way Moo just goes.

563
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do, so they do what

564
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: evidently their programmed to do that they assume is the

565
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: safe thing. They stop and then they turn on their hazards.

566
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: All right, but now suppose I'm not in an autonomous vehicle.

567
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 2: I got to try to get around this dumb thing

568
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 2: to stopped in the middle of an intersection. Growing pains

569
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: are honestly a giant turn off, right now, massive turnoff.

570
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 2: All right, Finally you are about to get the truth.

571
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: You've been waiting for it for years. The big Friday

572
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: Night info dump happens, and you realize half of it's missing.

573
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: The other half doesn't make any sense. This is not

574
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: going to make the issue go away for the president.

575
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: Hot reactions from the left and the right. Next Chris

576
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: Merril

577
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: Kfi AM six forty on demand
