It's all over social media videos of 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: this helicopter hovering just above what looks like a parking lot. 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: There in your pch and then something happens and all 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: of a sudden it spins out of control and ends 22 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: up down in the trees. Joining us on the phone 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: is the legendary Tim Lynn, former KTLA helicopter pilot up 24 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: in Sky five and now a pilot with the OC 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: Sheriff's Department. 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 3: Mister Lynn, do you hear me? 27 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 4: I hear you, hear them? You sound from the stadium. 28 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 3: I love that. 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: And you say you're on the air pods, which is incredible. 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: Technology is amazing that you can be around thousands of 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: people and we can still hear you. I guess, I 32 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: guess compared to the giant chopper rotors, though this is 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: a little bit of an upgrade. 34 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so. That was a very unfortunate thing yesterday. 35 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw the video and some people, you know, 36 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: everybody on the internet, of course, and something like this happens. 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: Everyone's an aviation expert. Everybody has a ton of experience 38 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: with the NTSB. It looks like something happens maybe with 39 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: the tail roader. I don't know, can you, as as 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: an expert sort of you know, obviously you're not involved 41 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: in the investigation, but can you look at that and 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: see what happened as a person with as much experience 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: as you've had. 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was the cars and nicopters, the show that 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 4: goes on every year front of the beach, and they 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 4: were in the process of bringing helicopters into a parking 47 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 4: opts set up the displays of a day early and 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 4: so when that helicopter is making its appurt, you can 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 4: see in the video a piece of etailerator department in 50 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: the helicopter itself. The out about sperm because the failerator. 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 4: The helicopters go on spinning because the minority turn it 52 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 4: one way and the tailorator stops that plane. So the 53 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 4: me lose it with passes the helicopters of spring. So 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: just unfortunately it happened up the worst possible time. And 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: there on slower approach with the highest setting of palel 56 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 4: which it's the most fourth in the body of poor 57 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 4: up stop in the middle of the pilot. Can do 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 4: I can save it? And uh man. The tilt's experience 59 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 4: of this backcast had a phenomenal draft people that from 60 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: going into a crowd or in see the actuel hotel. Yeah, 61 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 4: more than fifty arts lup store. 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: Up yeah, I mean I can imagine that's a big 63 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: part of it is that when there's a moment when 64 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: you know it's going bad, what do you do and 65 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: how do you deal with it? And as you saw, 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: there might have been a few options there. I can't 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: imagine he chose to put it down in the trees. 68 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: But do you think that that actually was a softer 69 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: landing in a sense than maybe directly onto the pavement. 70 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: Well, it definitely helped them buy you throwing into the 71 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: trees and hanging up on the stairway for the pedestrian 72 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 4: overcross fifty sewards, they'll definitely get it up off the 73 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: ground and slow the cell impacts. Well, so you didn't 74 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 4: have that direct force hitting you, but the pilots are passage, 75 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: we're we're injured with the significant injury. So it wasn't 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 4: a rock away tout incident. So yeah, you know, it's 77 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 4: just very unfortunate for that to happen, like that's in 78 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: phase or flight. So but I'm tellingly just watching that 79 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: for my years of experiencing thousands of dollars of like, uh, 80 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 4: it could have gone a lot worse from what they did. 81 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 4: But that Finot tried to pull away, tried to get 82 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 4: it flying again, which is almost impossible, but you did 83 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 4: keep it away from LA giant opers and whats uh 84 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 4: the snia to do it came down streets to world landed. 85 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: So Tim, you know, I really I know that you'ven't 86 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: been involved in in a lot of UH flying around 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: southern California, and I know that it's very crowded. And 88 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: I know that you yourself had an incident with the 89 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: KTLA helicopter where your motor uh, the engine gave out 90 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 2: and you had to auto rotate and land in a 91 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: parking lot in Hollywood, and it was a remarkable story 92 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: and and obviously your expertise kept everybody safe. 93 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: What are you thinking in that moment? 94 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: Are you are you even thinking about anything other than 95 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: just like you don't have time to follow a checklist. 96 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: Probably in that situation, you're just is it all instinct? 97 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: You're just trying to stay calm. What's going on? 98 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: No result memory at that light is that that wist 99 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 4: the practice or IBE eighty six months emergency perceivers and 100 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: it's just venory at thought right to UH go through 101 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 4: the procedures that were required to predictent emergencies and letters 102 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 4: will be you know, lower to cocted a bit, start 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: to get further the speed and fall out of it. 104 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: But I'm at the position where he was in, those 105 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 4: options were pretty much done because he had got a 106 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 4: lot to you to play with and scare for what 107 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 4: you did the best we could. 108 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm wondering also, you know these guys, uh, 109 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: like you said, he trained for this and so this 110 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: this occurred on the beach there on pH But it's 111 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: you know, I guess it's a surprise in a good 112 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: way that there were less injuries here to everybody. Yeah, 113 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: you know, you don't hear a lot about helicopter accidents 114 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: where people well people walk away from that kind of 115 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 2: violent crash. 116 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: Exactly for what it was, it couldn't, like I said, 117 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: a lot worse.

Now, 169 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 2: what is important about this story is that we don't 170 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 2: actually know how long it took to get that water 171 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: up to the Palisades, but we do know that when 172 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: the fire hydrants ran dry in the first few hours 173 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: of the Palisades Fire, firefighters had faced confusion costly delays. That's, 174 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: of course, according to a and after action report that 175 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: was released this week by the Los Angeles Fire Department. 176 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: In the city, the one hundred and seventeen million gallons 177 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: Santynez Reservoir, long seen as a lifeline for the Palisades, 178 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 2: was empty and undergoing repairs. We've all heard about this, right, 179 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: This is that giant reservoir that was built there for 180 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: the specific reason of helping deal with water supply issues 181 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: to the Palisades, especially in the case of a fire 182 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: that went dry. The cover was undergoing repairs for years. 183 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: A former LAFFT Battalion chief, Rick Crawford said, if the 184 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: Fire Department had spoken with d after the wind forecast 185 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 2: came in on Sunday and Monday, the agency would have 186 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: known firefighters would have faced water issues. 187 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: Then they could have prepared. 188 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: They had ample opportunity, he says, to have these discussions 189 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 2: and implement the water tender strategy. None of this was done. 190 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: Water tender strategy means putting fire trucks with tanks up 191 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: to areas where you might have fire. Multiple firefighting divisions 192 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: requested water tenders water tanks right from both the city 193 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: and private sources, but there was a delay in getting 194 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: it up there. Crews eventually learned that city water tanks 195 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 2: were you know, water trucks. Water tanker trucks were available. 196 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: They called for them, but they couldn't get them into 197 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: the fire zone because they're not operated by emergency personnel. 198 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: So imagine you've got the border of the Palisades South, 199 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: I think it like some set is where they were 200 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: staging on the board of the Palisades in Santa Monica, 201 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: and you've got all of these water tankers that are 202 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: trying to get up there, but they can't go in 203 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: there because they're not driven by emergency personnel. And so 204 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: they had a long distance of time of calling somebody 205 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: else trying to figure out what had happened. Who has 206 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: the credentials, Who is going to allow somebody to. 207 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 3: Get in here? 208 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: Who won't allow somebody to get I mean, it's it 209 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: is the most bureaucratic nonsense. It is the most frustrating 210 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: thing to think that there were trucks available to help 211 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 2: save people's homes, to help limit the spread of the fire, 212 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: and they couldn't get in because they didn't have the 213 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: right credentials. It is so frustrating, and it reminds me 214 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: of when I was I mean a few days after 215 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 2: the fire, I was able to go up and get 216 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: in because I was a member of the media. I 217 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: was with KTLA, and KTLA had carte blanche essentially to 218 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: go in and film either the rescue operation or at 219 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 2: least what had happened. And I got hooked up with 220 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: And I think it's because of Mark Thompson actually maybe 221 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: talked about on the radio group called Social Compassion, and 222 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: they're basically here looking to help for the animals. They're 223 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: advocating for the animals in disaster situations. They had femous 224 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: certified rescuers who were not allowed to go into the 225 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 2: Palisades area or Brentwood and either look for people's lost pets, 226 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: feed the pets that had been left behind. Unfortunately, remember 227 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 2: the evacuation zone expanded many miles outside of where the 228 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: actual flames were, So you had areas of Brentwood, of 229 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: Santa Monica, of Malibu, parts of the Palisades that were 230 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: still standing where there were animals, And only way after 231 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: our coverage did the county and the city make some 232 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: kind of proclamation. Only now are they talking about trying 233 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: to figure out how to make it so that people 234 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: who need to be in these zones are able to 235 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: be in these zones. Obviously, there's a reason that we 236 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: don't want people to go into these areas when there 237 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: is looting. Who shouldn't be in there, who aren't first responders, 238 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: shouldn't be there. If you're in there trying to save 239 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 2: a dog and you're in the way of a firefighter 240 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: trying to put out, of course that's a problem. But 241 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: I don't think that that was happening, And at least 242 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: in my experience, when we finally were able to follow 243 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: some of those female responders into the Palisades a week 244 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: after the fire, we did find animals that were still alive. 245 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 2: They were able to rescue many animals. You remember Coco 246 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: the dog, Remember the parrots. Because they didn't have the 247 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: right credentials. 248 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 4: So this is just. 249 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: Another example of that. Los Angeles Fire Department did not 250 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: immediately respond to an email seeking comment from Los Angeles 251 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Times on Friday about this. It still 252 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: is not clear when the trucks finally were deployed to 253 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: the Palisades to help with the fire. Obviously we know 254 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 2: it was perhaps too late, but the DP has reportedly 255 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: said crews and water systems were prepared for this emergency situation. However, 256 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: no urban water system we always heard this right after, 257 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: No urban water system is designed to combat a massive 258 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 2: wind driven wildfire with the speed in the scale of 259 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: the Palisades fire. 260 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: But maybe we should have that. 261 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: That's kind of the language of Losers of like, wow, 262 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: we just nobody has a system that would be able 263 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: to handle this. What we have, these kinds of fires. 264 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: We got these kinds of situations, so we should be 265 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: prepared for this. We certainly spend enough money in taxes. 266 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: The government is well funded enough that they should be 267 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: able to protect their own people. This should not be controversial. 268 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: Tough stuff, and I feel for all of those people 269 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: when more and more reports come out. We told you 270 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: about the one in Altadina last week with the eating fire, 271 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: where yes, the county said there were some major failures, 272 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: but they didn't blame anybody the board of supervisors themselves, 273 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: who paid for the two million or who ordered the 274 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: two million dollar study that you paid for, we paid 275 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: for county County residents paid for. 276 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: Those are the people. It just it drives me nuts. 277 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: All right, I'm way over time Aileen and Zalez and 278 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. But first I'll tease 279 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: what's coming up soon. A restaurant in Los Angeles has 280 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: been accused of racism. The restaurant responds, plus, we're remembering 281 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: Diane Keaton with Scott movie Man's coming up in just 282 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: a little bit. 283 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 284 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: We talked about margarita Is a couple weeks ago. That's 285 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: sort of the number one drink in Los Angeles as 286 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: far as by the numbers of things ordered. Basically twenty 287 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: five percent of all things. I guess is what the 288 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: latest numbers were for margarita Is being ordered in bars 289 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: in LA However, the martini, as you know, is a classic. 290 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: I think during the pandemic you saw explode in popularity 291 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: definitely became in vogue with the espresso martinis, and then, 292 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: of course now just the regular old dirty maybe the classic. 293 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: On the phone, we have an article about the love 294 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: of Martini's in Los Angeles. The articles called Shaken, Stirred, 295 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: and served Cold. Hillary Eaton joins us to tell us 296 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: about LA's new Martini era. Hillary, thanks for joining us 297 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: on this Sunday. What are we drinking at two thirty 298 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: five in the afternoon. 299 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 5: Andy, Hello, thanks so much for having me on the show. 300 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 5: Of course, we're drinking martini. 301 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 4: Heck you on Sunday? 302 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: Heck yeah, It's always the right time for a Martini. 303 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people were introduced to 304 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: martiniz at least in my generation, which would have been 305 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: people who've been drinking for maybe twenty years or so 306 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: or less, by the espresso martini, because you really didn't 307 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: see a lot of martinis ten years ago. And really 308 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 2: I feel like only since the pandemic did they become 309 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 2: very popular, especially among younger people. My thinking is, as 310 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: things have become way more expensive, the martini gets the 311 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: job done. It gets the job done well, without too 312 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 2: much fuss and without a lot of sugar. 313 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, definitely. I mean, I think you pointed it 314 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 5: out well that ten years ago people weren't drinking them 315 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 5: as much. And during the pandemic, drinks like the Espresso Martini, 316 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 5: in the porn Star Martini, they really reintroduced drink back 317 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 5: back to new a new group of drinkers.

And you know, my personal favorite one 321 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 5: right now is the tuxedo, and I think the best 322 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: version is a catos. I'm just gonna what is all 323 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 5: that there? 324 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: What's the tuxedo? 325 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 5: The tuxedo? It's a take on a classic, but instead 326 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 5: of remooth, we're going to use dry sherry. It has 327 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 5: this a little bit of a lower ABV and just 328 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 5: that really beautiful Christmas but without having to make it 329 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 5: more alcoholics. 330 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: I would have yeah, would have thought dry shery is 331 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: like a cooking wine. But people are using that in cocktails. 332 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 5: Huh, yep, there is it. Wow, that's way they give 333 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 5: a little figerins as well. 334 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: So to me, the classics in Los Angeles are and 335 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 2: stop me if I'm wrong here Musso and Frank of course, 336 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: Sidecar the Smokehouse of course our local favorite here down 337 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: the street. I know those are the old school ones. 338 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 2: What am I missing in terms of just like la 339 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: classic martini? 340 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 5: That's a great question. I mean LUs and Frank's for sure. 341 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 5: I've read before that they've made fifty five thousand martinis 342 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 5: in a year, so it really tells you how much 343 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 5: of a classic spot they are. But I mean in 344 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 5: terms of classics, definitely Sunset Tower. It's really hard to 345 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 5: beat perfect martini and burger at the bar. In terms 346 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 5: of newer offerings, I shout it out Cato previously. I 347 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 5: also really recommend Dante and Beverly Hills. They have an 348 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 5: amazing patio and they actually do a martini happy hours. 349 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: Yeah the best, isn't it like a ten dollars martini, 350 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: And I mean it's a little smaller, but it's still 351 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: you got a view of the city and the hills. 352 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 2: You're on a rooftop and you're spending ten bucks for 353 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 2: an alcoholic drink in Los Angeles. 354 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: That's unheard of. 355 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 5: It's unheard of. And also, I actually am a fan 356 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 5: of the smaller martini because what you're getting with that 357 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 5: is actually proper temperature for longer. Right, better to have 358 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 5: too and instead have them be smaller and have them 359 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 5: be ice cold. 360 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: That's right, because if you drink them like a normal person, 361 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: this is not me. You don't just chug them all in, 362 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: you know, four or five minutes. Then by the time 363 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 2: you get halfway through, Like like I said, if you're 364 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: a reasonable drinker, then you'll still start to notice. 365 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: It getting a little bit warmer. 366 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: I want to ask another question for you too, because 367 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: I know that you sort of looked at the Hollywood 368 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: power spots. Are people doing other things with the drink 369 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: other than just our typical dirty the version that you 370 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: talked about with the sherry, what kind of other things? 371 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 2: I know people are batching cocktails a lot too these days. 372 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, batching cocktails for sure. It's a good way to 373 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 5: have consistency. So one of the bars that's, you know, 374 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 5: a really important bar to the Los Angeles scene, Thunderbolt, 375 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 5: is doing a great job with batching and not just 376 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 5: makes sure that you know, having the right temperature, having 377 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 5: the right dilution. They have a really great one there 378 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 5: that also uses some clarified tomato water, so you're getting 379 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 5: a really beautiful Savorynote. In terms of other experimental bars, 380 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 5: there's one called Tokyo Noir and that's going more down 381 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 5: towards the South Bay. But they're doing really interesting thing 382 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 5: easing empirical spirits. So having this interesting plum, I suppose 383 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 5: flavor coming through, so a lot of experimentation in the genre. 384 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 5: I think it's we're finally a place where people know 385 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 5: the martini and they're ready to portionately new through it. 386 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 2: I have a real question for you that is not 387 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 2: your fault, by the way, it's just a general concept. 388 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: By the way, we're speaking with Hillary Eaton, who is 389 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: the author of Shaken Sted and Served Cold. It's an 390 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: article on Fine Dining Lovers dot com. It's about LA's 391 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: new Martini era. I want to ask about this the 392 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: general idea of how and I love these places, but 393 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: how on earth they can justify and this I see 394 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 2: this more in New York, really places like Bellman Classic, 395 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 2: places that are making these cocktails, these martinis that are 396 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: costing thirty plus forty plus fifty dollars for a drink 397 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: that is truly just two for maybe three ingredients. 398 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean that's a good point. I think 399 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 5: that this is a less fun answer. But I do 400 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 5: think there is just that reality of rising prices across restaurants. 401 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 5: And I think that a way that restaurants make a 402 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 5: lot of their money is of course through the sales 403 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 5: of ok and if we are seeing that people are 404 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 5: willing to pay more, which they are, you just point 405 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 5: out we're getting up to thirty forty dollars. You know, 406 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 5: that is an easy way to help with some of 407 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 5: that margin issue that we're seeing, especially as costs of 408 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 5: goods increase in other parts of the restaurants. I think 409 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 5: that's why we're seeing it. And of course, you know, 410 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: whatever the market's willing to bear, it bears. So I 411 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 5: think that, yeah, that's why we're seeing that. But yes, 412 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 5: i'd love to see it come down. 413 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: It's our fault, is what you're saying, which you're right though, 414 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 2: it is because it's because people will pay that much 415 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 2: for it, which is crazy. So for instance, and we 416 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: don't have to name any names, but I know there's 417 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 2: a lot debated about poor costs, which are poure costs 418 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 2: as opposed to poor costs, which is the thing that 419 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 2: causes me to declare bankruptcy because of too many martinis 420 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 2: how much if I'm paying thirty bucks for a martini, 421 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: how much does that actually cost the restaurant to make? 422 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 5: Oh that's a good question, and don't hold me to it, 423 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 5: but I would say that you know, it's going to 424 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 5: be twenty percent of that at most, to be honest. 425 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: Wow, So you think you're sorry you're saying, so a 426 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 2: thirty bucks twenty percent of that it's a twenty percent 427 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: markup or that's it costs them only twenty percent of thirty. 428 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 5: Dollars percent markup? 429 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 2: Got I got it. So that's still pretty expensive. So 430 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: and I guess you know, booze can get expensive. It's 431 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: just crazy to think about a drink like a martini, 432 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: which I love again, like top my favorite thing. But 433 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 2: when you're talking gin, are you talking vodka? The price 434 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 2: per bottle is historically does not support the kind of 435 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: cost that a whiskey or a tequila wood. 436 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely. I think it's been seen historically as kind 437 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 5: of a I don't want to use the word cheaper spirit. 438 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 5: There's a yeahs, less refined spirit. But I think we 439 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 5: are seeing a lot of really interesting makers that are 440 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 5: creating you know, artisanal vodkas and jins. Of course, who've 441 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 5: seen that jin boom in the last ten years. That 442 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 5: I think does account for more labor, more interesting, more 443 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 5: high quality ingredients going into it. It's not like our 444 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 5: bathtub gin anymore. We've got such beautiful things we can 445 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 5: choose from, and that we're seeing that bartenders used so okay, 446 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 5: So that that comes into play. 447 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 2: So Hillary is saying the Tuxedo at Cato, which where 448 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: is Cato located? 449 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 3: Is that downtown? 450 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's downtown and the arts district. Right. They're a 451 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 5: restaurant that just got number twenty six on the World's 452 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 5: fifty Best Restaurant list for North America. Undeniably. Yeah, wee 453 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 5: La undeniably. Part of that success is their bar program. 454 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 5: It's just so unique. It's truly world class, and I 455 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 5: think it really completes and complements the food offering. And 456 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 5: if you want any drink there, definitely get the sexy ob. 457 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 3: Hillary, thank you so much. 458 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 2: Read her article Shaking, Starred and Served Cold LA's New 459 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: Martini Era on Fine Dininglovers dot com.

But I wait till the sun goes down. 469 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: I think that's good. 470 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: But thankfully in the winter it goes down at like 471 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: three forty five pm, so anything is possible.

Did you know about the claim Jumper. They 481 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: used to weigh you like that's how they did the 482 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 2: kids menu. They would weigh you when you came in, 483 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: then you ate what you ate, and then they'd weigh 484 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 2: you at the end, and then that's how much you 485 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: would pay. 486 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 7: Really, yes, wow, I've never heard of that. This would 487 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 7: for go drinking any water. Then it's a crazy idea. 488 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 7: But it is fun. 489 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 3: I mean it's one of those things. 490 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 2: When you're kid, you think it's fun. Now as an adult, 491 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: I think it's mortified. 492 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 6: You know, I don't does that really work? 493 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 7: Though I've had like I've weighed myself before and after, 494 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 7: like there's no change. 495 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, it's like did did did you? Did 496 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: you hit the bathroom between the first course and the 497 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: last course? That's that's what the conversation is. Nope, that's 498 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: what you really got it.

They 600 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 2: were seated in a section with a bunch of other 601 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 2: Asian people, and it seemed to be from her perspective 602 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: that that was it. It was just a bunch of 603 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 2: Asian people in the same section. The video goes on 604 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: and she says, look, somebody else got seated in our section, 605 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: and it was another Asian couple that of course went 606 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 2: crazy on the internet. People on Twitter picked it up, 607 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 2: people went on Yelp and found other examples of accusations 608 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: of racism against this All Day Cafe as they call it. 609 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 3: It is a restaurant. 610 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: By the way, it is called Great White and so 611 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: of course a lot of people say, and they're not 612 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 2: even kidding. 613 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: Look, it's in the name. 614 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: They've been telling us that they're racist all along because 615 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: the name of the restaurant is the Great is Great White. 616 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: It's a shark, or as you said, as Shah a shark, 617 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: it's a shark, and the company is from Australia. 618 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 6: That's embarrassing. 619 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 2: Sam Cooper and Sam Trudey said, any notion, they told 620 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 2: News dot com dot Au that's a real news organization, 621 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: right right, Nikki, Yes, they said, any notion we have 622 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 2: mistreated customers or employees or seated people based on their 623 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: ethnicity is absolutely outrageous and completely false. Everyone is welcome here. 624 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 2: That has never changed and never will. But they are 625 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: getting nail on the internet, just completely destroyed because of 626 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: this perceived racism that they put Asian people in the 627 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: same part of the restaurant. If that was true, that 628 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: is indeed crazy.

If they did it intentionally, that seems wrong. 637 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: You shouldn't do that. Maybe it was just an accident. 638 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: But we don't give anybody the benefit of it out anymore. 639 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: But does that mean that we need to destroy this 640 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 2: business because of one person being dumb? 641 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 3: Nikki?
