1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to k IF I Am six on demand.

2
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: It is k IF I Am six forty. This is

3
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: the Andy Reesmier Show. I am Andy Reesmeyer. Will be

4
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: with you all the way till four o'clock tonight. A

5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: nice two hour shift putting in the hard work here

6
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: on this Sunday, Go Chargers first and foremost, a handsome win.

7
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: There by the h Bolts bolting their way all the

8
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: way up through uh what looks like a pretty good

9
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: shot now to get into the playoffs. Sitting atop the

10
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: wild card pile, and I was watching with a lot

11
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: of anticipation this morning. It kind of it up my

12
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: day a little bit because I was I was, I'm

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: invested in this now. As I've told you before, my

14
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: girlfriend really likes the Chargers. Therefore I have become a

15
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: Chargers fan. Did I really know anything about football beforehand?

16
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: No?

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: I did not, This is probably obvious if you look

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: at me. However, I have now become into it, as

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: they say. I asked her earlier today, I was like,

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: do we get Madden? Like, once football is over, should

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: we get the Madden game and so we can like

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: play football? And She's like, I'm absolutely not going to

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: be doing that. I was like, don't worry, I won't

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: tell anybody that you're into video games. But I was like,

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: I want to do I want to do plays. I'm

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: going to like do strategy. I want to have to

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: debate whether or not I'm going to do a two

28
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 2: point conversion, if I'm going to go for two, or

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to kick a field goal. You know what

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: I mean. These are things that now I have opinions about.

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: And I felt a weird kinship to Taylor Swift because

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: she was talking about this in the documentary where all

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: of a sudden, now she's interested in football, and I

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: was like, this woman cannot be more relatable to me.

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: This is embarrassing. Anyway, we got a lot coming up

36
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: on the show today. I got already off on a

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: goofy tangent. Storm is on the way, just in time

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: for the big holiday travel rush. Thousands are still without

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: power in San Francisco. We will hear from somebody who

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: has a newborn baby who's been without power for more

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: than a day. Yikes. Plus, at three o'clock, Rob Belushi

42
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: will be stopping by. That's kind of exciting, talk about

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: what projects he's got going on He of course son

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: of Jim Belushi, a talk show host in his own right,

45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: a game show host, and a valley boy as well.

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: You heard Eileen Gonzalez talking about the LAFD report on

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: the Palisades fire. We'll talk about what was omitted. And

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: the kind of thing that drives me nuts is like,

49
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: not only how things are are removed, right, it's the

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: whole guilt by a mission thing. What they didn't tell

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: us about what happened, that they looked at over and

52
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: over again through different revisions of this document to say, no,

53
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: we can't let the people know that this happened. The

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: whole it was to let everybody know what happened. But

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: they use these this language, this softening, and it drives

56
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: me absolutely bonkers to try to make it seem as

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: if things are not as bad as they as they

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: really are. If we do have time, which I think

59
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: we will, we will get into what is going on

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: with the Epstein files, what was omitted there as well.

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: This is a big old blunder. This is just dumb.

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: I downloaded all of it on Friday, went through every

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: single photo. It really freaks you out when you start

64
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: to process. I think if you go image by image

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: by image, document by document, you really start to understand

66
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: something gets lost in translation because we've seen it being

67
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: reported on the news. We've seen all of this conversation

68
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: about this for so long. It becomes sort of make believe, right,

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: it becomes not as real for some reason after you

70
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: hear it over and over again. This really kind of

71
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: opened it up for me. And I'll share with you

72
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: what I learned from going through all those documents. And

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: we do have a lot of fun on the show today,

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: like what makes a good Christmas song? It's just in time.

75
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: We got four days before Christmas. If you haven't done

76
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: your shopping, friends, you got to get out there and

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: do this. And I'll tell you where it is crazy

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: right now is the shopping malls as far as the airports.

79
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 2: With the storm on the way, I'm a little worried

80
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: about it. Katla's Alina Abovian was live at LAX yesterday

81
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: I think it was yesterday. Does she work on the weekends?

82
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: Might have been Friday, talking about all the craziness that's

83
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: going on there.

84
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: Well, the busy holiday rush officially starts tomorrow, December twentieth,

85
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: but here at LAX, sig a look behind.

86
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: She was her Friday Well, she even said it.

87
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: We are right outside United Airlines Terminal seven. A lot

88
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: of people getting a head start on getting out of

89
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 4: town the US. I'm going to from the cold to it.

90
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: Also like I love this sound that Elena chose with

91
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 2: this person.

92
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 5: I'm going to Michigan.

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: She's like, serving, I'm going to Michigan.

94
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 5: I'm going to Michigan.

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: It's twenty five degrees below zero there.

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: It's never sounded six.

97
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: My mom, My mom lives there, and uh, I've been

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: up there a bunch. I went up during during the holidays,

99
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: Like twenty sixteen was the last time I went up

100
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: there during the holidays because it was so dang cold

101
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: and I didn't have any of the proper equipment to

102
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: be in the cold like that. My nose was froze,

103
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: like the snot inside my nose froze in between the

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: car and the house. Tom, is that to you?

105
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 6: Min?

106
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Does that do it? That's where the line is lean.

107
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 7: I think doesn't like bosh okay, it's a specific thing.

108
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: From the coldlak to San to the warm.

109
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 1: Aspen, Colorado to the notts so enthused.

110
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, did you hear how she had this again.

111
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: From the cold going to San Salvador to the warm Aspen.

112
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: From the cold El Salvador to the warm Aspen, Colorado.

113
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: To then not so enthused.

114
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: The holiday travel season is upon us, and with the

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 4: joy comes the inevitable stressors like canceled flights and delays.

116
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: Also, I love Alenobovium, but it sounds like Alenobovia might

117
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: be in the middle of cold and flu season as well.

118
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: Like canceled flights and delays.

119
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: We had our flight schedule.

120
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 8: The issue is that I'm trying to get down to

121
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 8: an earlier flight because I want to be with my

122
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 8: family sooner rather than later.

123
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: Thank you for that observation, sir.

124
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 4: This Christmas in New Year's holiday period is expected to

125
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 4: be the busiest on record. According to Triple A, more

126
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: than one hundred and twenty two million people are expected

127
00:06:52,160 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 4: to travel between December twentieth and January first, Why god

128
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: eight million people flying within the US United Airlines among

129
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: the most buzzling.

130
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: The difficulties always is that, of course there's nobody here,

131
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: and the fact that they seem to be perpetually understaffed. Florida,

132
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: that guy is having a day, his name is Lord.

133
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: That's his first name is Lord. And he was he

134
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: was unhappy. But here's the deal. Had you gone up

135
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: to Burbank Airport, this is what you would have found.

136
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 9: This is the Rendall Car place in Burbank.

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: It's Saturday, around five thirty pm, this Saturday before Christmas.

138
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: That, of course is mister Tim Conway Junior who posted

139
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: this to his Instagram.

140
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: Burbank Airport and nobody's here, say a ghost town? Where

141
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: is it? Everybody?

142
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 8: Everybody leave already Burbank Airport.

143
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Think dog at this airport?

144
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: Dang dong with that airport indeed, And then he went

145
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: over to the rental car area.

146
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 9: This is the Rendall Car place in Burbank.

147
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: It's so quiet you had to whisper.

148
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 9: There's nobody here. It's Saturday before Christmas? Or where they

149
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 9: all is? Everybody at five point thirty on Saturday.

150
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to volunteer Tim for an ASMR record. I

151
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: think that we need to hear him doing some more whispering.

152
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm into it. We've got lots more coming up here

153
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 2: on KFI AM six forty.

154
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

155
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: If they figured it out, if Gary and Shannon have

156
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: the answer, then maybe it'll it'll make for a lot

157
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: less stress for everybody going forward here in the holidays.

158
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: The thing that I think about a lot, and because

159
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: I don't always go home to Indiana, I have gone

160
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: to family member's Christmas, which is always an odd thing

161
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: to be that person going for the first time to

162
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: your significant other's family for Christmas. I might talk about

163
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: that later in the show. Want to get into the

164
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: weather and how it's having a major impact on the

165
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: entire state. A Pineapple Express barren down on so Cal

166
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: will bring us heavy rains and strong winds throughout the

167
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: week of Christmas. It's weird because today is definitely one

168
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: of those calm before the storm days. It is absolutely

169
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: beautiful outside, a light breeze, feels like the la of

170
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: my early days here, like in the early twenty tens,

171
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 2: just like the weather felt a little better. I don't know.

172
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because I lived on the other side of

173
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: the hill. Then it could be the stormiest Christmas in

174
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: recent memory for so Cal. Downtown La will get two

175
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: inches or more of rain starting Tuesday, going just until

176
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: Christmas Day, just till Thursday, so two days you could

177
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: get more than two inches of rain in downtown LA.

178
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: This whole storm is expected to deliver between three and

179
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: six inches all the way to Saturday. That's for La County,

180
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: Orange County, the Inland Empire, and more of the high

181
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: Desert could see two to three inches of rain up

182
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: in the Antelope Valley there, but the most rain eight

183
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: to ten inches is expected, And of course the mountain ranges,

184
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 2: those foothills, and of course that's the concern there what

185
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: there would be mud slides and debris flow. Everybody who

186
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: lives up there knows that and they fear it. Especially

187
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: you've got places where there's been a lot of fire

188
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: activity in the past couple of years. Those rains, those

189
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: rains start picking up, that ground starts moving. Yikes. A

190
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: meteorologist from the National Weather Service says that they could

191
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: expect a half an inch to one inch per hour

192
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: between midnight Tuesday and noon on Wednesday, though of course

193
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: we're still a couple days out. That might come earlier

194
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: or a little bit later. But basically, if you're traveling

195
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, do it in the morning, try to be

196
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: done traveling by the afternoon. Stick where you are stay

197
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: put all the way until Friday. The peak of the

198
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: system is expected Tuesday through Thursday. We could have a

199
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: lot of wind too, gusts in Los Angeles, so up

200
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: to thirty one miles an hour Tuesday night. Woodland Hills

201
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: seeing up to forty mile an hour gusts, fifty two

202
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: mile an hour winds up in Saint Luis Obispo and

203
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: then also Santa Barbara County. Also, everybody always says this

204
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: for the weather forecast. They always say the same thing,

205
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: which is that you could have mud slides, flooded freeways,

206
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: coastal flooding, down power lines, dangerous sea conditions, and swift

207
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: water rescue. Those are things that absolutely we know, but

208
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: I think they impact a small percentage of people. But

209
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: what is very important, other than even securing your outdoor furniture,

210
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: bringing in your plants, your pets, do not park under

211
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: a tree. If you don't have to see this all

212
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: the time that wind comes and topples. A tree crushed

213
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: my neighborhod This happened where they had their car parked

214
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: in front of their house during the fire windstorms those

215
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: Santa Anna's in the early part of January this year.

216
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: You could forget, but the big fire even fire, Palacines fire,

217
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: and the neighbors had a tree and the tree I

218
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: guess had had it was dead or something like that,

219
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: and the tree fell and then crushed their car. So

220
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: it wasn't even their own tree, so their neighbor's tree

221
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: crushed it. And that of course that became a big,

222
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: a big deal up there in the neighborhood because they

223
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: didn't want to take care of it, and the insurance

224
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: company had to get involved. And that's your neighbor, you know,

225
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: you got to always live next to that person. So

226
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 2: I feel bad for my neighbor because they were just

227
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: the innocent victim in this. By the way, a storm

228
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: is also impacting the Bay area. San Francisco is in

229
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: the middle of a ten day stretch of non stop

230
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: rain from that same system. But something else is making

231
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: life difficult for people up in the Bay. Thousands of

232
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: customers are without power after a fire at a PG

233
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: and E substation at eighth in Mission in the Mission District.

234
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: It remains under investigation, but the damage in the fire

235
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: is significant an extensive. Just after one o'clock on Saturday,

236
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: a large part of the northern part of the San

237
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: Francisco Peninsula went dark. Without power began to grow in size,

238
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: and there are still many thousands of people who do

239
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: not have any any power, including our friend James, who

240
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: you've heard on this show before. He lives near the

241
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: Golden Gate Park and sent us this note about what's happening.

242
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 6: It's going on two o'clock here in San Francisco and

243
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 6: our power has been off for twenty five hours. My

244
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 6: wife and I have a three month.

245
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: Old newborn oh Man that we.

246
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 6: Had you know, sound machines and air purifiers and a

247
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 6: moving basinette for and we got to go fully analog

248
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 6: last night with none of it.

249
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: The house really pretty quiet.

250
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 6: The thing we're most concerned about is like, obviously with

251
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 6: Christmas coming up, it's incredibly difficult to prep anything. So

252
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 6: you know, I'd planned to make a bunch of Christmas

253
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 6: cookies today.

254
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: That can't happen.

255
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 6: We're probably gonna have to throw out all of the

256
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 6: food in our fridge, so fortunately we hadn't stocked up

257
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 6: too much yet. Also, our entire freezer is full of

258
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 6: saved up breast milk for when my wife has to

259
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 6: come back from leave, so we're hoping that that survives

260
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 6: and that the power is able to be turned back

261
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 6: on here pretty soon, so it's been a challenge, but

262
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 6: also there's been kind of an upside. I mean, we

263
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 6: pulled out a puzzle. There's no TV, we didn't have

264
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 6: internet most of last night, so we just sat down

265
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 6: and talked and lit some candles and it's been nice

266
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 6: to kind of not be distracted for a while and

267
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 6: not have a lot of noise. So, you know, challenges,

268
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: but what we're getting through. Although I do hope they

269
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 6: get the power back on soon.

270
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Indeed, that's James from San Francisco, who is on

271
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: the northern part of the peninsula there near the Golden

272
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: Gate Park. Apparently there still is no estimated time for

273
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: all of the power to be restored there, but you're

274
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: talking about potentially one hundred and thirty thousand customers who

275
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: were without power for a good portion of time. Seventy

276
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: percent of those people did have power last night, but

277
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: still there are some people in the Presidio in Hayde Ashbury,

278
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: Presidio Heights, Lower Pacific Heights, Downtown San Francisco, Richmond, and

279
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: Forest Hill they're still without power. So not a good

280
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: time to lose power because you got a baby and

281
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: you also are like trying to bake stuff for Christmas.

282
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: That's tough, man, that's tough stuff. We were fully in

283
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: the holiday spirit, though, and I'll tell the story before

284
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: we go to break. I went after the show on

285
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: Friday night, popped over to the Smokehouse with my buddy

286
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: Jack Brimavera. The Smokehouse is a classic. It's a great steakhouse.

287
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: It's one of the oldest restaurants in the valley, and

288
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: it is just an excellent place to go during Christmas because,

289
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: of course fully decked out, and they had the band

290
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: that usually plays there on Friday night playing jazz Christmas songs.

291
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: People hanging out and stuff. So I was walking through

292
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: the bar trying to get a spot and somebody said hello, somebody,

293
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: and sometimes this happens. It's really nice get to be

294
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: on TV. Sometimes people say hello and they've seen us

295
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: do our work at Katla and he goes and hey, hey, good,

296
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: come on over, take a picture. I was like, okay, sure.

297
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I watch you every day. I'm a

298
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: huge fan of I was like, oh, that's so awesome.

299
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: It's so cool.

00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Thank you.

301
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: I love it when people say hi. It makes you

302
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, you're doing something that people care about.

303
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: And lady was there and took a picture with her

304
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: and she introduced me to her husband said hey, I

305
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: was whatever, you know, cool, Thank you so much, we'll

00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: see you later. Bye, walk away, and then I come

307
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: back and she's like, hey, I want you to meet

308
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: my friend. My friend's a big fan of you too,

309
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: and she goes, I love what you do, rich, rich,

00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: You're so good. I just I think it's so fun.

311
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, and I'm like, I don't say anything,

312
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,040

Speaker 2: obviously having an Australian accent with the radio, do they

355
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,240

356
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: who's moonlighting here on KFI.

357

Speaker 7: She's beautiful in real life, I'm sure gorgeous. Good facelift. Yeah,

366
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: all right, more uh more to come here on kf

367
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: IM six forty.

368
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI a M six forty on demand.

369
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 2: You know, the one thing I wish that I could

370
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: do that I don't get really to do here is

371
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: hit the post. That's what in FM radio where you like,

372
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: do the intro to the song and then you stop

373
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: talking right when the chorus comes in or when the

374
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: when the first uh verse comes in. It's an art

375
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: I'm assuming nowadays there's probably a countdown on the actual

376
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: computer where Ryan Seacrest or the like. Maybe Valentine big Boy.

377
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if Big Boy does a big Boy

378
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: hit the Post. I don't think he does. He's probably

379
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: like two. He doesn't need to do that.

380
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, he'll talk over it anyway.

381
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: Have you worked a lot FM?

382
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 8: Yes, previously, just with Karas one on one in k rock.

383
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: That's fun.

384
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 8: What was your what?

385
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: What do you like the best? Do you like doing

386
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: doing music? Do you like AM radio over here? Or

387
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: what are your What's what's your favorite?

388
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: Mario A?

389
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 8: Music radio is definitely you know, up there with familiarity

390
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 8: for sure, But with news radio at least we can

391
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 8: include music, so you know, that's that's a plus for me.

392
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 8: As long as there's music somewhere, I can't I could

393
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 8: work with it. Did you ever try to hit the post?

394
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 8: Did you ever practice that? Not yet?

395
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: Nah, we should probably do that at some point. I

396
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: don't know how much we can get away with doing music,

397
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: but that's a fun game to play. Eileen, I bet

398
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: you could be great at that too. What is it

399
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: when you try to hit the post in radio? You

400
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: know where you like you talk, you tell a little

401
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: story or say something up until the point where the

402
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: artist starts singing, Like here, like a cube song, for instance.

403
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example here. It's got to start

404
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: from the beginning of the song before there's there's music playing,

405
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: and it has to a verse of someone singing, and

406
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: it's got to be like a well known song. For me,

407
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: this is a really terrible, terrible game that I'm playing

408
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: here with myself. Bunch cute up. That's all right, Hit

409
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: me with something that like is the start of the

410
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: song that's a well known song?

411
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 8: Oh okay, okay. I was about asking does that have

412
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 8: to be a well known one or like just one

413
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 8: out of the blue.

414
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: That's to be one that we're gonna take a risk that.

415
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 8: I know it. Okay, okay, okay, let me see what

416
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 8: I can find. Give me five seconds.

417
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: Okay, We're gonna give him five seconds. Let me pull

418
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: up something dumb like that. I definitely know that I

419
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: can do here.

420
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 8: You're right, that is an art because like to just

421
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 8: have ones lined up just with the intro.

422
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: Well back in the day. I don't know if people

423
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: are doing this as much anymore, but back in the day,

424
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: I feel like it was a big deal. Let's see

425
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to You're gonna have to op

426
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: my uh the audio here. You're gonna bring down the

427
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: audio a little bit on the actual computer here while

428
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,479
Speaker 2: we do this. This is like one of the dumbest

429
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: ideas I've ever had in my life, and I don't

430
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: know if it's gonna work. So basically, you know, you're

431
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: coming off of a commercial break, right, and it would

432
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: be like this is like let's say it's nineteen ninety eight, okay,

433
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: just for the sake of the story, and the commercial

434
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: break comes off, and then you got a couple of

435
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: you know, news updates or whatever, and then you go

436
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: back to the studio with the FM radio guy and

437
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: then he starts playing a song.

438
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 5: Well, you have to time it out.

439
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to time it out and make sure

440
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: that you you hit it right. That's hitting the post.

441
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: I'm impressed.

442
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be You should not you should not be impressed.

443
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: That is very stupid. I was also thinking about, you know,

444
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: the insanity of going to uh do do you ever

445
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: have this issue? Have you had this yet? Where you

446
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: go to someone else's families Christmas? Have you have you

447
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: done this maybe a significant other many times?

448
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 4: Oh?

449
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, this is kind of a newer thing for me. Mario.

450
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: Are you are you? Have you gone to a significant

451
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: other's Christmas? I have yes, because I was very selfish

452
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: and I always went just to my own, my own family.

453
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: But there is this weird sense of like this displacement

454
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: that you feel when you go how to behave what

455
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: the right thing to do is. And I mean it

456
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: starts even like when you when you walk in the

457
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: front door, where you're like, did do I hug? Do

458
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: I shake the hand? I think you always shake the

459
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: hand and make you make eye contact with the dad,

460
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: Like that's a good that's a good first thing to do.

461
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 2: You don't hug the mom. I think that's if you've

462
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: met him before, sure or whatever. But if this is

463
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: the first time you don't hug the mom.

464
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 5: I'm miss Panka. Hug everybody you do?

465
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well, I deal with it. I come from

466
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: a family where everybody like at least I come from

467
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: a place in America where everyone is very off, hands off,

468
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: you know, waspy kind of we hate each other. There's

469
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 2: not a lot of warmth. But I thought, I think

470
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: about this because I think I've watched that Amazon commercial

471
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: with the kid who gets his girlfriend's dad a thera gun,

472
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: and it's just like that's so unreal, Like you would

473
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: never be in that situation with the elephant gift. I

474
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 2: mean to me, that seems unbelievable to me. Like the

475
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: realistic thing is you're in the house and you go

476
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: to the bathroom and you don't know which towel to

477
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 2: dry your hands on because there's like always this is

478
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: how parents' houses are. They've got six layers of towels.

479
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: They're always so nice, and you know those are show towels.

480
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: You know, those are the fancy towels you can't be touching.

481
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: There's the whole thing of like what chair do you

482
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: sit in? Am I going to sit in the in

483
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: the dad's seat on the couch. That's going to be an.

484
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: Embarrassment, stressful first time doing.

485
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 2: These are things that I just think about. These are

486
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: even things that actually happened. There's like always the stories

487
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: about things that you don't know about, which is you

488
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 2: know you try to do your best.

489
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 8: Even on the card right there, you're just sick to

490
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 8: your stomach already because you're.

491
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: Nervous that you're gonna be like, I don't know what

492
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: am I gonna say? The wrong thing?

493
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: Am I?

494
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: Is there some am I gonna because families are so complicated,

495
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 2: the dynamic is wild, or like you don't know how

496
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: you could stumble into some accidental thing where you insult

497
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: somebody because of some random thing that happened to them

498
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: back in two thousand and eight. There's the whole like

499
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: when you sit down, how do you say grace? How

500
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 2: intensely do you say grace? Are they going to say

501
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: grace at all? Is their handholding? Oh my god, don't

502
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: get me started with the handholding.

503
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 5: No, not handholding. That's so intimate. It's so much for

504
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: a guy who doesn't hug.

505
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, But I mean, listen, I've anytime I've ever

506
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: been invited anywhere, I'm so I'm so thankful to get

507
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: the invite, to be asked to go the thing that

508
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: I worried that I'm going to, you know, ruin it all.

509
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 2: But uh, of course, the number one thing I think

510
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: is just knowing how to pace yourself on the on

511
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: the booze and the food. It's always important. All right,

512
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: let's see what else is happening here. We are still

513
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: following a lot of the breaking news about the Epstein files.

514
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: Some of them were out, most of them, I would

515
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: say some of them were released on Friday, not all

516
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: of them heavily redacted. I got into it on the

517
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: show on Friday. An update now when we come back

518
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: about why some of the files have been removed and

519
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: what has been removed. In addition to that picture with

520
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: current President Donald Trump, and then later Rob Belushi will

521
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: join us in studio. That's kind of exciting, and then

522
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: I guess maybe we'll get into the biggest moments from

523
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: Taylor Swifts end of an Era docu series. There's a

524
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: lot coming up on the Andy Reesmier Show.

525
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

526
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: This is the Andy Reesmeier Show on this Sunday, December

527
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: twenty first, just a few days before Christmas. And we've

528
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: been talking about Christmas music extensively, and the course, one

529
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: of the things hit people always to understand it is

530
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 2: like what is it that makes a Christmas song a hit?

531
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: You know, there's probably forty or fifty of them that

532
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: come out every year, and I think that that's probably

533
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: an understatement. There's probably way more than that. But what

534
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: is the thing that makes something become? And it's not

535
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: just time, because we know there's some old stuff that's

536
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: not good Dominic the Christmas Donkey, even though I do

537
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: love the song, does not necessarily feel like it's in

538
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: the same world as silver Bells. But what about the

539
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: new music could make a song become Mariah Carey level?

540
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: All I went for Christmas is You, which obviously is

541
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 2: the new official theme song of Christmas?

542
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: What is it?

543
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: CBS Sunday Morning, try to figure it out?

544
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 10: Test the season for Christmas songs. Of course, some holiday

545
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 10: tunes are more enduring than others. But why our David

546
00:26:53,880 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 10: Pogue uncovers secrets behind the sounds of Christmas. It's rusting.

547
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 11: Every year some of the greatest songs in the world

548
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 11: pop up in our playlists.

549
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 8: Although it's been sad many times, many words.

550
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 11: Marry Christmas, most of them are decades old.

551
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: I think that that Nat King Cole Merry Christmas to you.

552
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: The Christmas Song, as it's officially titled, is truly one

553
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 2: of the greatest recordings ever made. Many times, many words

554
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: like I'm sitting here right now, and I know it's

555
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: seventy eight degrees outside and it's sunny and the sunset

556
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: is coming in southern California. But just listening to the

557
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: way that that the tape in the background, the hiss,

558
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: the crackle of whatever is happening, the way that his

559
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: dulcet tones just punch whatever. Limited a little bout compressions

560
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 2: going on.

561
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: There many times, many well, little.

562
00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: Breakups marry chrisma like I'm transported to my Childho's sitting

563
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: there on uh some kind of some kind of rug

564
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: in front of a fire. Most of them are decades old.

565
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 11: Or even centuries. If anyone knows what makes a Christmas

566
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 11: song immortal, it's Berkeley School of Music forensic musicologist Joe Bennett.

567
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 11: He's analyzed the holiday pop charts to learn exactly what

568
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 11: makes popular Christmas songs popular, a.

569
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: Job that only could exist in academia.

570
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 12: They're basically academic studies of large numbers of Christmas songs

571
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 12: to try and figure out what are the musical characteristics

572
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 12: that listeners keep coming back to again and again over

573
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 12: the years.

574
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 11: Okay, well, thematically what are the characteristics home.

575
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 12: For the holiday? Home for the Holidays is actually the

576
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 12: most common one. You have weather themed songs, you know,

577
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 12: let it snow, and you have a lot around the

578
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 12: myth of Santa Claus.

579
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: In fact, Bennett found myth okay guy.

580
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 11: In fact, Bennett found that most Christmas hits are about

581
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 11: one of only six things. The other biggies are parties,

582
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 11: being in love and being out of love, which brings

583
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 11: us to the number one Christmas hit of recent years.

584
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 11: Now it's Mariah Carey's hit from nineteen ninety four.

585
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 12: All I Want for Christmas's You is a remarkable lyric

586
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 12: because it hits most of the Christmas theme tropes.

587
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: So we get Christmas Presents in the tree and what

588
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: happened there?

589
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: I hate to stop this because he's grooving on it.

590
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: I want to let this man cook.

591
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: All I Want for Christmas is you. The Christmas theme tropes,

592
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: So we get christ Eileen, what was that? The Christmas

593
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 3: theme tropes?

594
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: So we get Christmas present in the and it's so funny.

595
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe the reporter was like laughing or like

596
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: just with the light wheezing.

597
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: So we get wheezing the light the tree and Santa

598
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: Claus and the Snow.

599
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 12: That lyric is so well loved as a holiday celebration

600
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 12: song because it's literally got it all.

601
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 8: Hey, I have a number one hit every year, but

602
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 8: it's same song every year.

603
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 11: A few years back, we visited Walter Afanasief, who wrote

604
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 11: that song.

605
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: With Mariah.

606
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 8: We just kind of like go bouncing off of each

607
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 8: other like at a jam session.

608
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Now we could have gone.

609
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 13: Christmas is, but we want for Chris Christmas and he goes,

610
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 13: that's awesome? Is doctor old rock and roll?

611
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: God?

612
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: I hope this guy's rich. I hope he's just so rich.

613
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 7: Do you know how much the song makes?

614
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: Though no one how much I know it makes a

615
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 2: lot of money every yere.

616
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, well so according to People magazine, it was first

617
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 7: released in nineteen ninety four, so it's over thirty years old.

618
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 7: And when it was released it made sixty million dollars.

619
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 7: But now every year it makes as much as three

620
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 7: million dollars around the festive season.

621
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: So she can just retire, and I'm sure I hope

622
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,800
