Want to move on 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 2: this Taylor Swift moment? Now, I know, Tony's like, Wow, 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: I don't know what the carrier of this? Who cares 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: about any of this stuff? Tony's got a stogy right now. 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 2: He's like, Hey, what do I care about these guys? Eh, 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: they're not the same to me. God, ghoul, I don't know. 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. If it ain't that old punk or 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: old skat, I probably don't know it. Yeah, you and 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: me both, brother. I mean, I here's the thing. I'm 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: lucky that I've been able to work in this industry 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 2: for a little bit and and have access to pop music. 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: I love pop music. It's very interesting, but uh, I 14 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:47,319 Speaker 2: have a hard time with the obsession, the fervor, the fanaticism. 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: But you know, look, look, we got to give it 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: her a do. Taylor Swift. Really there's there's really not 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: anybody like her, and I think that there's probably not 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: been anybody like her. Uh's in her generation for sure, 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: But even before that, just the absolute domination of the conversation, 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: which I think is especially impressive in an hero when 21 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 2: everyone is so doing other things when it comes to 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: pop culture. But here we are on the other side 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: of nine o'clock Tony. We survived, Mark Ronner. There was 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: no rapture when the Taylor Swift record dropped. Well, if 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: there was, I got left behind. You know, maybe that's 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: what it is. You got the one don't see. But 27 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: it wasn't expecting friendship bracelets just floating up into the air. 28 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think I was gonna be in that demographic. 29 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: When we're there, there you go, all right, Well, I 30 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: will say this. 31 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: Listen to a couple songs, and with your permission, I'm 32 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: gonna just play some moments here of the new songs 33 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 2: from Taylor Swift's The Life of a Show Girl.

We're gonna hang on a second. There's there's 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: dirty Taylor Swift. Oh yeah, I think tracks four through twelve. 39 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: I had no idea. Now I'm interested suddenly, Oh now 40 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: you want to know. 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 2: Well, one of them includes it Girl Sabrina Carpenter as well. 42 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: Life of a Showgirl.

The 46 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: Fate of Ophelia, We got that one. The next track 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: is called Elizabeth Taylor. Let's see what she's singing about here. 48 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: I need to stop this, and I don't want to 49 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: be rude, because I know this is important to a 50 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: lot of people. But this sounds like a to me, 51 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: a little bit like a parody of Taylor Swift, like 52 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: she's doing an imitation of herself. 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 4: Sometimes it doesn't feel so glamorous to be all al. 54 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: Right, guys, that's that lyric. It doesn't feel sometimes it 55 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: doesn't feel so glamorous to be me. She got some 56 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: pushback from a lot of the fans yesterday and into 57 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: today because they said, I think it would be pretty 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: good to be you. 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: Well, let's know, Jenny from the block, Okay, so do 60 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 3: you think this is a little low energy? Is that 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 3: what you're saying and not getting the blood pumping? I 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 3: feel like I shouldn't say a single word about a 63 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 3: Taylor Swift. 64 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: Because you're worried they're gonna come for you. 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 5: I know. 66 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 2: I was talking to a music a guy a couple 67 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: of weeks ago, I think Adam on the show last week, 68 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 2: and we were talking about how there's a lot of 69 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: fear for music journalists to be critical of pop, especially 70 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: big pop stars like Beyonce or Taylor, because they're worried 71 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: that their fans are so i mean sometimes toxic, that 72 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: they will, you know, show up at their house with pitchforks. 73 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: I would like to go on record and say I 74 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: cannot stand Taylor's swift. 75 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: All everybody get her?

Interesting that this record is produced by Max Martin. He, 83 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: of course, is the Swedish mega producer who was responsible 84 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: for the Backstree Boys in Sync Britney spears. I mean, 85 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: you hear a little bit of that sort of dance 86 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: at least on that first record, but it also kind 87 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: of reminds me a little bit of that reputation era Taylor. 88 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: So very very interesting Taylor Swift new record, lots of 89 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: ways to get into the Taylor Swift spirit.

You can reserve a spot. Just do a 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: little quick google of that. It's called Taylor Swift a 94 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: Life of a Showgirl TikTok fan activation. I imagine that 95 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: will be very very popular. Also, the female owned bar 96 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: called Banter Bar is doing an album release party complete 97 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 2: with themed cocktails, a friendship bracelet, stations, small bites, and more. 98 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: The dress code is described as bejeweled, showgirl glam plus 99 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: eras the event twenty one and over.

The Resident Downtown 103 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: Los Angeles is hosting a listening and dance party. So 104 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: people who love her, I'm sure are listening to her 105 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,119 Speaker 2: record right now and not listening to us, and that's fine. 106 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: That's good, good for them and good for her. A 107 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: lot of speculation on what this record means, what the 108 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: things that she is saying. The lore of Taylor Swift 109 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: is very important as much as the music, the sort 110 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: of reading between the lines, who are you disan? Who 111 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: are you you loving on? We of course know that 112 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: she's engaged to Travis Kelce. I'm sure there's some songs 113 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: about that. I can only imagine that our boss, Brian Long, 114 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 2: who's the biggest Chiefs fan of all time, is curled 115 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: up with a nice Macha latte listening to this NonStop. 116 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 117 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: Well, you know, as we descend into Taylor Swift madness 118 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: this whole weekend, we have another sort of very La 119 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: thing that has happened.

Somewhere along the way, the 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 6: family realized that their store name was too good not 133 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 6: to laugh at. Joe is fourth generation b. 134 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: A L L E R.

A vintage photo of 145 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 6: his great grandfather's ride hammering home that classic California cool. 146 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: So basically what they've done is taken the store and 147 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: they made a bunch of what you may call hipster merch. 148 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: I don't know what the young people are called now. 149 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: When I was that age and I would be interested 150 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: in silver Lake, I would have called it hipster that 151 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: now they're just gen z. I don't know. It's really 152 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: a great idea. It worked really well for them, and honestly, 153 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: you can't fault the hustle. It's a very la thing. 154 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a lot of silver Lake 155 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: people who are like hitting up the hardware store every 156 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: single day. But I just think about like my grandpa 157 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: or a grandpa type in the hardware store who's like 158 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: picking up some picking up some roof and nails, and 159 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: there's this little sickly teen putting on a trucker hat 160 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 2: and taking a celphie front of the hardware store. Can't 161 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: swing a hammer. No grit literally no, doesn't understand what 162 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: grit is. In the fortitude way and also the sanding way. 163 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: But it's kind of fun and it does feel very 164 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: la to do this. Everything now has to have a 165 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: sort of cultural importance. It feels like it's tailor made 166 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: for social media. I don't blame them. You know they're 167 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: making it work. They're on the news. That's great. But 168 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: why stop there? There are other places that we could 169 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: we could do this with. In Los Angeles. We might 170 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: need the help of the Los Angeles Unified School District, 171 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: but there is a Stoner Elementary School that would be great. 172 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: I could put a T shirt with Stoner Elementary School 173 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: on it, or in that same in that same vein 174 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: the Baked Potato in Studio City. In Koreatown, there's the 175 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: gay Lord apartments for fellas who like religion and each other. 176 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: Up to Ohio. Oh man, that was so smooth and 177 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 2: I ruined it your heart. 178 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 5: Department of Transportation says there is no excuse for this 179 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 5: kind of driving. If you're close to missing your exit, 180 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 5: O DOT is urging you to just take the next one. 181 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 5: It'll be safer for you and everyone around you. Dangerous 182 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 5: behavior on Ohio interstates. 183 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 7: There's no excuse for putting people in harm's way just 184 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 7: so you can avoid maybe a two or three minute detour. 185 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 5: Just this month, the truck carrying watermelons came to a 186 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 5: sudden stop on a highway in. 187 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: The Cincinnati area. Stay with me here. 188 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 5: Just this month, the truck carrying watermelons came to a 189 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 5: sudden stop on a highway in the Cincinnati area. The 190 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 5: reason a car slowed down and crossed several lanes of 191 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 5: traffic to get to an exit they were about to pass. 192 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: I I grew up in Indiana, not far from Ohio. 193 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: I do think that we were superior drivers to the 194 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: Ohio people. Ohio, I think are the kind of people 195 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: who do a lot of left lane hogging. They're not listening, 196 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: they don't care, but they do a lot of staying 197 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: in the left lane even if they're not passing. And 198 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: that is that is something that I think is immediate 199 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: suspension of your license. And there isn't a lot of 200 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: quick maneuvering happening there. This isn't a big city. We're 201 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: talking about Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, places that sort of just 202 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: they go at the speed that they go at. In 203 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, you could be crossing seven lanes of traffic 204 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: to hit your exit any time of day, and that 205 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: is a normal thing that we all just tolerate. 206 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 8: Now. 207 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 2: Luckily, the traffic is mostly so bad you don't have 208 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: the opportunity to do that very quickly. But this is 209 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: something I feel like that doesn't FaZe us very much. 210 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: If you're there and things move a little bit slower. 211 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 2: I have it on first hand account, this can be 212 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: very dangerous, especially in this situation. 213 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 5: All over the road. 214 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 7: It would have made a difference if that truck driver's 215 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 7: attention was on something not the road ahead. It would 216 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 7: have been very, very differently. 217 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 5: Watermelons ended up all over the road, but odots Matt 218 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 5: Brooding says, luckily no one crashed. 219 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 7: So there are a lot of lessons that we can 220 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 7: learn from looking at some of these incidents. 221 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 5: It's not the first time in recent month sod on 222 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 5: has been. 223 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: It's true, you know, you don't want to do that, 224 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: but especially if you're in Ohio and so they're really 225 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: looking out for people who are crossing over, especially those 226 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: people who are going to be knocking those watermelons off. 227 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 2: Don't want to do that. Back here in California, the hoa, 228 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 2: the dreaded hoa. Nothing stirs the soul or strikes fear 229 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 2: in the hearts of a suburban person, like those three 230 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: letters of HOA. A new law in California has restricted 231 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: the finds that an HA can impose on its people 232 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: to one hundred dollars per violation. They say that's because 233 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 2: some of these fines have gone up to thousands and 234 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: thousands of dollars and that it's making people foreclothes on 235 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 2: their homes. Hoas typically have a lot of power. The 236 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: CEO and president of Callahan and Blaine, Callahan and Blaine 237 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 2: represents both homeowners and HOA, says, generally speaking, it seems 238 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: reasonable to bring it down because that is one of 239 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: the biggest iss she was living in California. Hoas have 240 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 2: very broad powers to enforce their rules. I thought the 241 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: gas tax was up there. I thought our property tax 242 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: is pretty high. I mean, relatively speaking compared to other places. 243 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: It's not I understand Prop thirty. But the homes are 244 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: so expensive that there's a lot of property tax we pay. 245 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 2: So now only one hundred dollars can they find you 246 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: for those violations, violations like your garage doors painted the 247 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: wrong color. I think it's probably good because a lot 248 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: of those are irrational. I understand, though, at the same time, 249 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: like you know, bigger fines keep you from doing it's 250 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: a disincentive to do bad things. I've got to be 251 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: real with you. I grew up in a neighborhood that 252 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: had an HOA. It's our little condo complex in Indianapolis 253 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: that my mom lived in. Real Gladys Kravitz was the 254 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: head of the HOA. She was like two or three, 255 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: two or three houses down from us. Hated me, hated me. 256 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: Speed limit was twenty I might may may be going 257 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: a little quicker. She starts following me on the street. 258 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: I get home through the neighborhood. She pulls in the 259 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: driveway behind me, comes up to the car and knocks 260 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 2: on the window, you know, And I'm like, oh my god, 261 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 2: I'm probably like seventeen years old. So I rolled the 262 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: window down and she yells at me. She says, I 263 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: had to go a full thirty miles per hour to 264 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: keep up with you. And I looked at her and 265 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: I said, well, you didn't have to. There was a 266 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: time when my mom's boyfriend was doing yard work. Brought 267 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: over like a ricketty old iron wheelbarrow or something. A 268 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: few days go by, then Gladys comes over. She rings 269 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: a doorbell and she's like, where is the wheelbarrow. I 270 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: saw your stepdad using the wheelbarrow. Did you take our 271 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: new wheelbarrow? We can't find it. Had we had nothing 272 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: to do with her wheelbarrow. Our wheelbarrow was like rusted out, 273 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: sixty years old. And then she she said to my mom, 274 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: open the garage. I'm gonna look for the wheelbarrow. My 275 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: mom is like pound sand Gladys. We didn't have a wheelbarrow. 276 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: That's the kind of stuff that happens in hoas. Mark 277 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: Roner doesn't know anything about that. I do not know. 278 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: They sound terrible, and it sounds like missus Kravitz might 279 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: ended up in a shallow grave there in Indy. 280 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: Oh well, I certainly didn't have anything to do with it. 281 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think she's still alive. She wasn't 282 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: that old. She just was ornery. There's no statute limitations 283 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: on that, you know. Yeah, That's why I'm saying what 284 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: I'm saying. All Right, we can move on. 285 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 286 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: H Andy Ree's Marion for mister mo Kelly. Just a 287 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: couple of minutes here left on the old Show. On 288 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: this Thursday, October two, George Norre's coming up in just 289 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: a bit. I think we'll hear from him in the 290 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: next block. A little preview on what's going on on 291 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: that on that show. Some updates for you, gentlemen. Taylor 292 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: Swift has spoken. I know you're really curious. She posted 293 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: just a little after the album was released, nine oh 294 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: three pm our time tonight. All these lives converge here, 295 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: the mosaics of laughter and cocktail of tears, where fraternal 296 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: souls sing identical things, and it's beautiful, it's rapturous, it 297 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: is frightening. Uh, she mentioned the rapture. Couldn't have seen 298 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: that one coming. She goes on to say, I can't 299 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: tell you how proud I am to share this with you, 300 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: an album that just feels so right forever. Thank you 301 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: goes out to my mentors and friends Max, Max Martin 302 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait. If 303 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: you thought the Big Show was wild, perhaps you should 304 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 2: come and take a look behind the curtain. She says. 305 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: The Life of a Showgirl is out now and like 306 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: we said, produced by Max Martin, Shellback, and Taylor Swift. 307 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: She also posted a bunch of photos that kind of 308 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 2: look like Hotel Boudoir, Italian restaurant Terry richardson Vibe. It's 309 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 2: some cool pictures. She's posing next to a martini with 310 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: the twist, half drunk martini. I don't know about her. 311 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: I can't make a comment on her condition. She looks 312 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 2: fine and a plate of spaghetti in what appears to 313 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: be a hallway of a hotel. You can read into 314 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: that as you like. In other Taylor Swift news, rolling 315 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: Stone already has reviewed, and I'm sure they had an 316 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: ombargo copy. Maybe they had an embargo copy. I don't know. 317 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: Rolling Stone review is out. Taylor Swift conquers her biggest 318 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 2: stage ever on the Life of a show Girl. How 319 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: many stars do you guys think? Four out of five? 320 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: She got five ew they gave it. They gave her 321 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. 322 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 4: But Rolling Stone only gave led Zeppelin like no more 323 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 4: than two stars. So what would they know about good music? 324 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 2: Do you mean like recently? 325 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 4: No? When when led Zeppelin we're releasing music back in 326 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 4: the day, Rolling Stone magazine never gave them good rating. 327 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: In all fairness, I'm not sure that those people are 328 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: still with Rolling Stone. However, it is a good point. 329 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: The essence is still there. The essence is still there. 330 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: I think that there was a thing we talked about 331 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 2: last week about I was just referencing about poptimism, where 332 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 2: music reviewers have a hard time being critical of these 333 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 2: uber huge artists because they maybe are concerned about backlash.

You 442 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 2: would think that maybe the gas station, the gas station 443 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 2: mascot isn't like you know, they're their savior, But hey, 444 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: what do I know? Maybe when you're that well off, 445 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: like it's the little things, you know. 446 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI Am six forty on demand breaking. 447 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 2: News right now, some information coming into the newsroom. Large 448 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: fire has been spotted at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo. 449 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: Reports are that there was an explosion sometime around nine 450 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 2: to forty and they have a picture up here on 451 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: k COW and you can see it from from a distance. 452 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: I'm assuming that might be one of their cameras, maybe 453 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: in the South bay, looking that out towards the fire. 454 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: Two pretty large plumes of smoke and then a bunch 455 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: of active fire there. The reason I say it's from 456 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 2: the south, maybe Palace Verdi's looking north, is because you 457 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 2: can see Los Angeles International Airport just behind you. You 458 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 2: can see the planes coming and going there. The flames 459 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 2: are of course visible from the airport. This refinery in 460 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: El Segunda, you know, just south of the Los Angeles 461 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: International Airport complex there burned back in twenty twenty two 462 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: in November, and then in December there was another flaring 463 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: event and then there was a bigger fire back in 464 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. And every time this happens, of course, we 465 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 2: always think, oh my god, there go the gas prices. 466 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: That's what you always think. No indication on if anybody's 467 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 2: been injured. I'm sure we'll have some updates here very soon. 468 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 2: Mark Ronner's working on that. But they're asking for people 469 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:42,239 Speaker 2: to stay out of the area from that fire. Like 470 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: I said, around nine to forty two, emergency services got 471 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: the call or started to respond, according to Citizen, because 472 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: of a large fire following an explosion, asking people to 473 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: avoid the area. If you're familiar with the part of Elseaguindo, 474 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you can't miss the refinery as big as 475 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: the city itself. It's basically just south of the airport, 476 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: south of lax In between the city of Elsagundo and 477 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: the ocean. Twenty six oh six Laurel Avenue is the 478 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: location where it is reported, at least on Citizen. But 479 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 2: this is a pretty big refinery, and like I said 480 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 2: in the past, it has burned and air traffic still 481 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 2: seems to be moving. I mean a couple of videos, 482 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 2: like I said, the live video that we're looking at 483 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 2: here in our newsroom on k COW I can see 484 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: that the plane appears that the planes are going are 485 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: still going. So I don't know if traffic of air 486 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 2: traffic is being impacted by this. I imagine they would 487 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: probably be pretty hesitant about that. Maybe they would keep 488 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: planes from taking off or landed in the South complex 489 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: of lax Ron. Are you hearing anything about this? 490 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing much on the wires at all yet, 491 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 3: and I've been keeping an eye on it, so I'll 492 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 3: have whatever we get as soon as we get it. 493 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it really, it does it. I feel like 494 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: every five years or so it catches on fire, and 495 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: that last one was pretty tough. They did tell people 496 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: the last time that we had we had this fire, 497 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: they told people to shut their windows. There was a 498 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: lot about that about the air quality. So I think, 499 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 2: especially if if you're it couldn't hurt, shut those windows. 500 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: If you're near there. You don't know what's burning. I 501 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: don't know where it's blowing. Conditions right now, today, I 502 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: mean it were really it was very nice today. It's 503 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 2: relatively calm, not a lot of wind. I believe that 504 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 2: the currently that there's like something like two miles an 505 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 2: hour wind really coming in. So you also have some 506 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: of that cloud cover from the marine layer start to 507 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: build up here in just a little bit. But large fire, 508 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: like I said, at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo. 509 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: No indication on what happened, As Maraner said, there's not 510 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: a ton of information that we're getting. I'm checking also 511 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: the KTLA news desk. I know that we are heading 512 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: heading to the refinery with the helicopter.
