And then just at around three or four 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 3: this afternoon, started getting alerts from the National Weather Service 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 3: that oh yes, some major precipitation was heading into the area, 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 3: and it did. I think we were looking at a 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 3: couple of inches of rain in the San Fernando Valley. 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 3: Streets were flooded. Flash flood warning is still in effect 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 3: all the way until nine to nineteen. That may be continued. 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 3: But looking outside right now, it does appear as if 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: it's tapering off a bit. It is still wet, of course, 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 3: but we have a couple of days where we'll be 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 3: out of the wood here, out of the woods rather 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: here for the next I think three or four days. 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: Then by the time we get to Thursday and Friday, 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: we will have another storm system in. So it's been 20 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: it's been kind of unseasoned, wet for this fall, kind 21 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 3: of neat, feels like real, real winter. We've been checking 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: in with people all night about driving stick shifts, what 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: you did the first time you learned, or how you learned. 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 3: Take a listen to this person calling on a talkback. 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: Hey, Andy, it's Randy from Stanton checking in. Feel little 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 4: sprinkles over here. My clutch story is I grew up 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: driving clutch on a farm. You learn how to drive tractor? 28 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, twelve thirteen years old. But I wanted to 29 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 4: share with you. Eighty four suburban also a clutch, drove 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 4: it up Los Enega on a regular basis. One night 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 4: somebody was writing a shopping cart down on that big 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 4: hill like a skateboard. 33 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: Wow, that is wild, amazing. That is a crazy story. 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: I think that's the scariest place in LA to have 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: a stick shift is just going up Losiana. Go to 36 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 3: Sunset Boulevard, maybe Baxter Street, though I don't think you 37 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: drive that a lot. That's the hilliest, the steepest street 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: in LA. Do you ever make it over there, mister honor. 39 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: No, Oh, it's really crazy. 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: It's over and I think it's like Echo Park Baxter 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: Avenue Street. 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: You know. 43 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 5: Because of COVID and just my own abject cowardice, I 44 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 5: haven't explored nearly as much as I've wanted to since 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 5: I moved here in twenty eighteen. 46 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: You got to get out there and see this city. 47 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: The thing is that you if you have to deal 48 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 3: with this place. The grievances are a long list. I 49 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: don't need to get into it, but high cost of 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: living and just the sort of the mental stimulation that 51 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: the mental work that it takes to be in La 52 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: all the time. You gotta do the fun stuff. 53 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: I like La. You've never heard me complain about living 54 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: in La. No, I do too. 55 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's expensive, you know, and it's like 56 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 3: and I've always had the headspace of like, Okay, it's expensive, 57 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: and there's sometimes it's frustrating with the traffic, and so 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 3: if I'm going to be here, I want to try 59 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 3: to live it and do as much as I possibly can. 60 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: So next time I go out to Baxter Street, I'm 61 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 3: picking you up, r Honor, I'm swinging by.

Do you remember this 70 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: story about the guys in the Tesla that were like 71 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: going over the top of Baxter And then we're recording it, 72 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: of course and putting it on TikTok and Instagram, and 73 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: they were they were jumping these cars like fast and 74 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: the furious and of course the neighbor neighbors were furious 75 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: calling the police fast sounds smart, sounds smart. One more 76 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: talk back and then we'll get to some news about 77 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: what's gone with these these trash bins, these green bins. 78 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 6: This is Stephanie from Desert Hot Springs Stiffly. The way 79 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 6: I learned to drive sticks is my three little brothers 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 6: needed to go to Scouts and I was the only 81 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 6: one home that could drive. They told me that if 82 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 6: I would drive the car, they would tell me when 83 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 6: to shift, and so we took off and ever since 84 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 6: I've been able to drive a stip shift. So my 85 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 6: three little brothers, who are five years, six and seven 86 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 6: years younger than me, taught me. 87 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 3: That that's great, what a good story. 88 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: I love that. 89 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 3: You know, people just learned out of necessity. Get It's 90 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 3: like throwing a cat into the pool. You just got 91 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: to do it. Yeah, Is that what you. 92 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 2: Do with a cat? You throw a cat into the pool. 93 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 5: That's how you teach him to swim. You teach a 94 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: cat to toddlers. Whatever you got, Yeah, toddler, I get. 95 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 5: That's how I learned how to swim. My mom just 96 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 5: threw me in the pool. 97 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: Some tough love. What was crazy is that we didn't 98 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: have a pool. Oops. It was the nagar. Make sure 99 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: there's water in the pool. 100 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: It was It was just a trash can filled up 101 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: with water. The speedway special Indianapolis. I'm a hoosier throwing through. 102 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: You see these green bins all around. They're taking over neighborhoods, 103 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: especially in parts of I guess you could say Central 104 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: Los Angeles. A lot of this on Los Pheela's city accounts. 105 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: They're everywhere. La Time's doing stories green bins clogging LA curbs. 106 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 3: Because the city's organic waste program is now in effect. 107 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: It was a it's called SB thirteen eighty three. It 108 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: required that seventy five percent of organic waste would be 109 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: taken away from landfills by the end of the year 110 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: and instead turned into compost. Now many people who have 111 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: houses already have these green bins, and I don't know 112 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 3: if they're composting their food. I think mostly the garden 113 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: clippings end up there, you know, the landscape, the gardeners, 114 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: whatever you got, you get your your your clippings. I'm 115 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: an indoor kid. I don't know, man, but that's what 116 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: always ends up in the in the green bins. But 117 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 3: now you've got a lot of these places like on 118 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: Hillhurst his apartment buildings, where sixty cans have been dropped 119 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: off and they're just covering the streets. Journalists and podcaster 120 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: ALYSSA Walker, who I believe used to be on Twitter 121 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 3: as a walker in la is calling it the Great 122 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 3: green bin Apocalypse of twenty twenty five. She shared a 123 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: photo showing what appear to be twenty green bins in 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 3: front of one property, right next to a discarded sofa. 125 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 3: She says, this is probably my favorite photo. I like 126 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: how they lined them all up neatly in a row 127 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: and left the couch. She actually urged other people to 128 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: send in photos. Tommy Newman from Silver Lake posted a 129 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 3: picture showing eight bins outside an eight unit building just 130 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: south of Sunset Boulevard. A lot of peoples, of course, 131 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: saying this is a nightmare related to sort of the 132 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: absurdity of the bureaucratic malaise that is living in a 133 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: large city. The city, so they say, will allow you 134 00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: to request a smaller, more manageable container. You of course 135 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: have to fill out a form and then you would 136 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: get a thirty to sixty gallon replacement. It's part of 137 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: a long term effort by the city to reach a 138 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: zero waste goal and lean on sustainability, saying that even 139 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: though it's weird and it might be unsightly and taking 140 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 3: up a ton of space on your street, eventually it 141 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: will lead to cleaner air. I don't know how long 142 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: it will take to get to cleaner air. But they 143 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: want you to put all of your food waste, eggshells, 144 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: coffee grounds, meat bones, unfinished vegetables, orange peels, greasy napkins. 145 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 2: Into the green bin. There is even an. 146 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: AI chatbot that's called Professor Green who can help you 147 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: determine what can go in and out. 148 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: Of the green bin. This is a nightmare, I guess. 149 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 5: It also leads to a significant dose of irony, since 150 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 5: the thing that's meant to cut down on pollution, winds 151 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 5: up being a blight itself. 152 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: Isn't that just the way? Isn't that exactly what we 153 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: just deserve as people? We deserve the asteroid bringing on. 154 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 155 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: By me Andy Reesemeyer. We're still, of course, watching that 156 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: storm system. Does look like it's moving out of the 157 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: La County area at least, so that's good. Maybe a 158 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: little bit of rain here for the next hour or so, 159 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: but for the most part, the brunt of it, as they. 160 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: Say, is over. We're out of the woods. 161 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: Alongside mister Mark Ronner, Oliver Boone, Richie Sam. We've got 162 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: quite a crew here tonight. Kind of a sausage party tonight. 163 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean. 164 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 5: Listen, I wasn't hoping to go home with one of 165 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 5: you guys. No, no, no, but it's an all guy 166 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 5: crew tonight. 167 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. We did have some nice We had some callers. 168 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: So we're women or identified as it seemed to be 169 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 3: of the female persuasion. 170 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: I don't want to assume women who knew how to 171 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: handle a stick. That is correct. That didn't sound good. 172 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: I shouldn't have said it like that. 173 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 3: We were all just gonna let it go. Okay, But 174 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: that's fine if you want to, if you want to 175 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: do that. Just the sage body doesn't mean it's a 176 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: locker room, that's true. I don't know where we when 177 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 3: we say locker room. I know that that's a term 178 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: that's used frequently to say like locker room talk. But 179 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 3: if you've ever been to a locker room, a men's 180 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: locker room, there is no speaking happening at all. 181 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: That shouldn't be. 182 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: It is always one hundred percent silent. It is men 183 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: walking around trying not to make eye contact, eye contact 184 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: with each other, except for a few who seem to 185 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 3: want to just be there all the time. 186 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what that's about. Not an equinox and see, 187 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: no it isn't you mean it's the kind of a scene. Yep, 188 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: between like twelve and three on what day? 189 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 3: On what days I know, were going by a friend 190 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 3: a friend. I'll tell you where I did have an 191 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 3: eye opening experience was that the we spa down in town. 192 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: I did not. 193 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: Okay, so here's what happened. I was dating girls is 194 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: years ago, and she was like, I love going to 195 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: the spa. It's just so cool and great, and you'll 196 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: come with me. And so I went with her because 197 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, sure, I guess I'm going to 198 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 3: have to do this because I'm your boyfriend. If everybody 199 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: knows the rule, you do what you're told to do. 200 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: So I go there, and it's very different for women 201 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 3: than it is for men. So I learned because in 202 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: the men's section there were a lot of men who 203 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: wanted to befriend me and talk to me all the time. 204 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: And you know, it's a different situation. I think you're 205 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: not allowed to wear clothes. Also, is another thing that 206 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: I didn't know until I got there. So your mileage 207 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 3: may vary by the way people are traveling. Again, and 208 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: I love this article. I love articles like this because 209 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: it's always always interests me, like how I'm behaving in public. 210 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: The Washington Post has come out with fifteen definitive rules 211 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: for how you should act at the airport bar. As 212 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 3: you know, the clock is there to tell you when 213 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 3: your flight leaves, not to dictate how you eat or drink. 214 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: There is no rule at an airport bar about five o'clock. Somewhere, 215 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: it's always five o'clock. It could be five o'clock in 216 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: the morning and you are absolutely permitted to order a corona. 217 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: You got to calm the nerves before you get on 218 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: an airplane, exactly right. So here's a couple rules don't 219 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 3: settle saying like, don't go to just the first bar 220 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: you see when you pop in through the security. You 221 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 3: could go all the way down to your terminal, or 222 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: to a different terminal places like Chicago. 223 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 4: Hair. 224 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 3: Of course, I've got millions of bars and restaurants. They 225 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 3: say you should actually try to find a bar that 226 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: is not attached to a restaurant, because the weird little 227 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: ones that have strange esthetics are kind of fun. Then 228 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: they say, sit at the actual bar. You got a 229 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: belly up to the bar, don't sit at one of 230 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: those high top tables, don't sit at a regular table. 231 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: Just go to the bar. Get yourself a sib. 232 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 3: The service will be a lot faster, and also you 233 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 3: might have a fun conversation with somebody. Be careful where 234 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 3: you put your bags. That's a good rule. I want 235 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 3: to be tripping, have people tripping on you and trying 236 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 3: to get to their connecting flight to Detroit. You want 237 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 3: to tell the bartender how much time you're gonna have 238 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: Do you have three hours to kill? Do you have 239 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 3: twenty minutes? This is all very important stuff. Another one 240 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: that I love is they say an anonymity is a 241 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: superpower once you pass security, embrace this anonymity. Maybe you're 242 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: going to a friend's wedding in Rhode Island, but maybe 243 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: you'd rather just pretend that you're a guy going to 244 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: a cement conference in Las Vegas. Maybe you want to 245 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 3: try on a new accent. The airport bar is your oyster. 246 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: I love this. Somebody the interviewed says, I take on 247 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: this odd Frank Sinatra type persona and say that they 248 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 3: order something like with whiskey or bourbon, a little bit 249 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: of fire. I want to feel like I'm wearing a 250 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 3: trench coat and I'm waiting for my dame to get 251 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: off a flight. 252 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: That's fun. 253 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 5: I tell people I'm Matt Murdoch and I'm a lawyer. 254 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 5: Do you really? And then I pretend I'm blind. That's 255 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 5: a fun game. I need help getting to the bathroom. 256 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: That's a specific audience. 257 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: Though you can't tell, like a gen Z person that 258 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: they won't that'll go over that do what works? 259 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: Yeah? You go? 260 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,359 Speaker 3: You can order whatever you want, of course, temper your expectations. 261 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 3: They say, if you don't see a jigger anywhere, maybe 262 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 3: it isn't the place to order a martini. You know 263 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 3: that little thing that you used to measure the alcohol. 264 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 3: They say, don't order a fancy mojito, try to get 265 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: a spicy margarita. Your safe bets include a bottle of beer, 266 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 3: glass of wine, something neat or on the rocks, or 267 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: one in one like whiskey and soda or gin and tonic. 268 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 3: I was at the airport, I think it was the 269 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: Dallas airport, connecting one one fine morning from LA to Indianapolis, 270 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: and I went to the little bar that was in 271 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 3: the center, and I ordered a spicy margarita because that 272 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: is I think that's the mandatory alcohol in Los Angeles. 273 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 3: Spicy margarita. That's just what we drink here. Never had one. Oh, buddy, 274 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 3: are you of those costed an airport like one hundred bucks? 275 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: Oh? I don't know. Again, when you're in airport land, 276 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 2: it's like what are you going to do? It's like 277 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: taking out a student loan. You just do what you 278 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: have to do. 279 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 3: I can't remember, but it's funny because the things are 280 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: so expensive now in LA. I think that it makes 281 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: my relative association other things that were expensive seem cheaper. 282 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: And I think about this all the time when it's like, Okay, 283 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 3: yes a house costs a two bedroom house in LA 284 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: costs three million dollars, let's just say whatever, Right, housing 285 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: is out of control, But the car is still the 286 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: same price here that it is back in Indiana. 287 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 5: I think that Saffron, Printer, Inc. And airport liquor are 288 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 5: the three most expensive substances on Earth. 289 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: Airport liquor is expensive, but I still think, when you're 290 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: talking about thirty dollars martinis here in Los Angeles, what 291 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: are they going to do to you that's going to 292 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: be worse than that at the Chilis to go at 293 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 3: the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, what. 294 00:14:59,080 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 2: Nothing. 295 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: I was at this place in Dallas. I ordered spicy margarita, 296 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 3: and this woman god lover. I guess they just don't 297 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: do that in Dallas because I look over and she 298 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 3: is like it is a tall beer glass and she's 299 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: got ice, and she's pouring sprite and like sweet and 300 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 3: sour mix, and there's tequila going in there, and there's 301 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 3: like a little Corona beer top floater and I was like, Okay, 302 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: she's cutting. 303 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 5: Up wage was she just making it up as she 304 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 5: went a little guess? So what's the proper ingredients to one. 305 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: To a spicy margarita? Yeah? 306 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: All right, it's very simple. Fresh lime juice, most important, 307 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: Blanco tequila. Don't use super expensive stuff, it doesn't matter. 308 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: Quantro that's it. And then some spicy you know, serrano 309 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 3: or a jalapino muddle. 310 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: That's it. That's a spicy margerita. 311 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 3: You don't need any other You don't need the store 312 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: bought stuff, the sweet and sour mix, forget it. Quantro 313 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: or triple seck tequila, fresh lime juice, that's a margarita. 314 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: And then just throw like a ghost pepper in it. 315 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, to he and rim little salt rim. 316 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 3: But that that is so important to just use that 317 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 3: fresh line because it's a completely different experience. If you 318 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 3: do a non fresh line. 319 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that beats the hell out of those pre 320 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: made mixes. I hate those.

We've 331 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 3: been talking about stick shift stories. Let's hear the next one. 332 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 7: My name is Lita. I live in Pasadena. 333 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: Hey, Lida from Pasadena. 334 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 7: Regarding a stick shift, thought I would take my driver's 335 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 7: test in my mother's cadillacb I failed it in her Cadillac, 336 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 7: so my parents bought me a Hyundai Excel.

You know, we had that movie 386 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: with Jennifer Lopez, which of course was a moment. A 387 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 3: lot of people in later generations who weren't around when 388 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: Selena was popular really were introduced to her, I think 389 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: in her life story through that Jennifer Lopez movie. 390 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 2: But now. 391 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 3: A movie, a documentary called Selena I Los Dinos, promises 392 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: to bring candid footage captured by the singer's sister in 393 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 3: many ways CNN says we have her sister Susette Keithania 394 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: to thank for the documentary, which came out today. She 395 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 3: told CNN, I was the annoying one with the camera 396 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: back in the day.

Of course, eventually that became as a documentary 400 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 3: for Netflix. It's supposed to be a very personal portrait 401 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 3: of the singer, of course, who was shot and killed 402 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 3: by her manager in nineteen ninety five. 403 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: It is now on Netflix.

We were talking 474 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 3: about stick shift cars. Why what people have as far 475 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 3: as their memories of stories when they learned how to drive. 476 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 2: Stick or taught others to drive stick. Take a listen, hi, Kelly. 477 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 7: From Sam Comani. You need to start asking these people 478 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 7: what generation they're from, because it's unfortunate that some. 479 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 2: People don't know how to drive sticks. 480 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 3: This is a good point. I thought she was going 481 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: one way with it, and then she went a different. 482 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: Way with it. You need to scold people more. 483 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 3: I should be rude. Yeah, well, I think it's a 484 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 3: fair thing that you know. So here's here's my theory. 485 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 3: Back before the internet, cars were the only way that 486 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 3: teenagers could see each other. You had to get up 487 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 3: off of your butt, hop on your car, drive down 488 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 3: to your friend's house, and that was it. You couldn't 489 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 3: connect with anybody else in you're you could have no 490 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 3: social experience, and now everything is just on the phone. 491 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 3: So I think that there's less sort of association of like, 492 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 3: I'm a teenager and I'm free because I have this car, 493 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 3: and I'm not obsessing about cars, and cars don't matter 494 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 3: that much anymore to people. Cars were a rite of passage, 495 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 3: I think, for so many people, so many generations, and 496 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 3: now you got cars that are basically just phones. There's 497 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 3: no romance anymore. They drive themselves half the time, and 498 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 3: they're also kind of, like, I don't know, not cool 499 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 3: from an environmental standpoint. 500 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 2: You made it feel bad about having a car. 501 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 3: When I went to school in Santa Monica, all of 502 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 3: the public policy classes that I took were just about 503 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 3: how we could get everybody out of their cars and 504 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: into public transit, which, like, sister, I love that idea. 505 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: Build me a public transit that works in this city, 506 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 3: and then we'll talk. 507 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: It would be nice to have the option, do you 508 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: know what I mean? 509 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 3: But just forcing people into it is not going to 510 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 3: work if you're worried about your safety every single time 511 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 3: you get on the metro. 512 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, having the option to do public transit without getting 513 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 5: stabbed would be ideal. 514 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 3: We used to have this saying where it was like 515 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: the La Metro taking you from where you're not to 516 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 3: where you don't want to. 517 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 2: Go and possibly intensive care. I mean, it's just I 518 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 2: want it to work. You know this. 519 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 3: I'm probably somewhat on the spectrum. As much as I 520 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 3: care about trains and planes and automobiles, I love trains. 521 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 3: When I was a kid, the idea of hopping in 522 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 3: a train going to work, like, that's the coolest thing 523 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 3: I ever thought. My mom lived in Chicago when she 524 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 3: was in her twenties. She wrote the L every day, 525 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: and I thought when I was a kid, hearing stories 526 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 3: about my mom taking the L to work, I was like, 527 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: that's so cool. 528 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 2: It's just a different time now. Friends. 529 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 5: Also, if you've ever been to Europe at all, you'll 530 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 5: see how convenient they have it with trains everywhere, And 531 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 5: you have to wonder. 532 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 2: Hey, why can't we have that. Why don't we have that. 533 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 5: At least the option. You can still have a car 534 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 5: if you want it, but I want the option. 535 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 3: You got boondoggles here in California. I think that the 536 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 3: short answer is, and this isn't even a conspiracy. They 537 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 3: didn't want that in La and by the day. I 538 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 3: mean whatever lobbies and local government that sort of built 539 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 3: the city around the automobile. That was the whole point 540 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 3: of LA. It was come here, the gi bill, you 541 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 3: can get yourself a nice little house, the American dream 542 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: in the suburb, which I love too. But you would think, man, 543 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: if there was just some happy medium, that would be wonderful. 544 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 3: Cars were the coolest thing in the entire world. When 545 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 3: I was growing up, man, growing up in Indianapolis, the race, 546 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 3: I could not wait. I remember turning eight and thinking, 547 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm only halfway. I've lived my life, 548 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 3: my whole life is I'm only halfway to sixteen to 549 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 3: being able to drive, and now I sit in traffic 550 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 3: for two hours a day. 551 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: At least your parents didn't give you a pinto. That's right, 552 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: they did not give me a pinto. 553 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 3: By the way, the final cost for that govern and 554 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: shutdown quickly take a listen, hey, So. 555 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 10: In this week's Facts and Figures, we were talking about 556 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 10: the end of that record government shutdown, the longest in 557 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 10: US history. In fact, this is how it compares to 558 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 10: shutdowns of the past forty three days. That is more 559 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 10: than double the length of the next longest government shut 560 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 10: down by a president not named Trump. And when you 561 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 10: say alex with the government now reopen, what does that 562 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 10: mean for the US economy, Well, the Congressional Budget Office 563 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 10: is now forecasting two percent growth for Q one of 564 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 10: twenty twenty six. 565 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: That is the good news. 566 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: The bad news is that. 567 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 3: I don't want to mince word, that's not totally fair. 568 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: The Democrats shut down the government last time Trump was 569 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: in office. 570 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 10: Is that it also says the shutdown cost eleven billion 571 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 10: dollars billion with the b and we talk about all 572 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 10: these federal workers that went without pay during this record shutdown, Well, 573 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 10: they are legally obligated to receive back pay, and air 574 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 10: traffic controllers are amongst that group. We heard from Transportation 575 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 10: Secretary Sean Duffy who said that they would receive seventy 576 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 10: percent of that back pay within twenty four to forty 577 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 10: eight hours of the government reopening and get thirty percent 578 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 10: that remaining thirty percent later on in the upcoming weeks. Now, 579 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 10: some of the other things that are part of the 580 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 10: spending bill, We know that SNAP and WICK are now 581 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 10: fully funded through September of next year. Also, we've been 582 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 10: tracking the Smithsonian Museums closures. They are now all set 583 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 10: to reopen by November seventeenth. The federal government now fully 584 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 10: funded through January thirtieth. 585 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 3: Now a lot of people have been very, very relieved. 586 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 3: Now after that, as far as the travel goes, I'm 587 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: sure you can go to the airport bar and order 588 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 3: yourself a spicy marguerita DFW. Finally, before we get out 589 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 3: of here, I talked about this before. This might be 590 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 3: kind of obvious. Seagulls are more likely to leave you 591 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 3: alone if you yell at them. They did a study 592 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: the University of Exeter in the UK. They've put a 593 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 3: bunch of fries chips in a tupperware box in towns 594 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 3: all across the coast of England. They tested how the 595 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 3: European gulls. The seagulls reacted to recordings of a couple things. 596 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 3: A male voice saying no stay away, that's my food, 597 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 3: and a voice that shouted those same words. 598 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: No ste away from off food. 599 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 3: Now, obviously you would think, yes, shouting it's louder, it's scarier, 600 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 3: wouldn't mean they would go away. Anybody who's ever dealt 601 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: with anybody, or a dog or a cat, anything would 602 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: know that one maybe not a cat. But the truth 603 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 3: is that they were all the same volume level, I 604 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: guess on the recording. So what they assumed is that 605 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: seagulls could actually identify if you were being aggressive or not. 606 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 3: And that's the first time they've just discovered that in 607 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: wild animals. I don't know how these studies get funded. 608 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 3: I think that they're at least moderately interesting enough for 609 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 3: like an eyebrow raise. 610 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 5: Sometimes you've just presented the cutting edge of seagull related research. 611 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: I just look at them, like, what who is paying 612 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 3: for that? Somebody bought a house because of that study. 613 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 3: I don't know who it was. I don't know how 614 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: I ended up in this situation where like, I don't 615 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: get it. I don't get it, man, I wish, I 616 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 3: wish I've been looking for easy money in my whole life. 617 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, this is pretty fun. Happy 618 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: to be here. 619 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 3: Say hello anytime you'd like at Andy Ktla on Instagram. 620 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 3: I'll be back here with you on Friday night from 621 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 3: seven pm to ten pm, right alongside Mark Ronner. 622 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 5: You will have Iilean Gunzalees on Friday.
