And I don't know if you've heard this, 31 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: but apparently tattoos aren't cool anymore. According to Will Arnet, 32 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: he's an actor. 33 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 4: I have a very controversial position on tattoos. First of 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 4: let me ask you this before I get a type 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 4: of how many tattoos do you have? 36 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 5: I would say twenty ish. 37 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 4: See, you might so this generalization that I've come up. 38 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 5: Well, I'm unoffendable, so you can say sweeping. 39 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: I think twenty is a lot of tattoos to have 40 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: for a person. 41 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, how did you know? 42 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 4: Sometimes with some people there's a proportionate sort of relationship 43 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 4: between how many tattoos you have and how little personality 44 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 4: you have. And I find a lot people who have 45 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 4: a ton of tattoos often are super boring. Wow, like 46 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 4: truly boring people. 47 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's manufactured edge. 48 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: That's what it is, exactly manufactured edge. 49 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 3: I saw that clip and it made me think of 50 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: an old marketing study that talked about underwear choice, like 51 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: people with loud underwear kind of dull, oh and so, 52 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 3: and people with plain clothing tend not to have to 53 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: put on displays like that to prove that they're interesting. 54 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: Is that why I've only ever seen you wear a 55 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: little nicely cropped black baby gap tea. 56 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 5: Yeah. 57 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 3: I don't like to have to pick out what I'm wearing, 58 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: so you have a uniform. It's one of the many 59 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: things I have in common with Albert Einstein. 60 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: We didn't. 61 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 3: We didn't want to waste any of our band with 62 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: figuring out clothing. 63 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: No, I understand that, I get it. I got two suits. 64 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: I told you this. I have to think I'm wearing 65 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: the black suit or in the blue suit. Yeah. 66 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: But if you got a great big heart Harly tattoo 67 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 3: right above your coinslot, what do you got? 68 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 5: Yeah? 69 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: I got a great, big, great big Harley tattoo right 70 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: about my coinslot.

Yeah. 76 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: The thing about this, and I don't have any tattoos, 77 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: but I I find it to be kind of an 78 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: interesting headspace. And so what I want to know is 79 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: if you think that people with tattoos are not cool anymore, 80 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: because they used to be really out there, like when 81 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: I was a kid in the nineties and you would 82 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: see somebody with the tattoo, at least in Indianapolis, I'm 83 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: sure where you were, Ronner. In Seattle, every single person 84 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: gets a tattoo, like the same day they get their 85 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: their vaccines or something like that. 86 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: And they're pretty touchy about it. I did kind of 87 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 3: a sociology piece about it for the Seattle Times where 88 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: I talked to social scientists about what the deal was 89 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: with them, and essentially the answers that I got from 90 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: these people were that tattoos were a replacement for our 91 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: rights of passage as young people. 92 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: Oh and all sorts of. 93 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: Societies have rights of passage, like you know bar Mitzva's 94 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: things like that. But this is kind of a way 95 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: of marking off ownership of your own body. 96 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: Oh that's kind of cool. And people don't like to 97 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: be told that that's what they did. Apparently, I guess not. 98 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: But I also think at least the people that I 99 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: know who have tattoos. One of my coworkers, Robert Pointe, 100 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: has got a bunch of tattoos, and I think he's 101 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: a really interesting guy. He's one of the weirdest people 102 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: I've ever met in my life, actually, But I understand 103 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: that if there is a thing that if you at 104 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: one point got a tattoo because it said you were 105 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: a kind of person, and now everybody has it, is 106 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: it really that special? I think it's a fair point. 107 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: But I want to hear what you have to say 108 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: about this. Use the talk back feature on the iHeartRadio app. 109 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: Leave us a little message, we'll play it on the show. 110 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: Do you think tattoos are still interesting? Do tattoos make 111 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: you boring? You raise a good point about whether or 112 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: not they're devalued because because everybody's got them. 113 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, when I was a kid, if somebody had a tattoo, 114 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 3: odds were they were either a vet or a biker. 115 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: And if you walk up to somebody and asked what 116 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: the deal was with their tattoo. You stood a fair 117 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 3: chance of getting your ass kick. But now you know 118 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: every sorority girl has one on her ankle or whatever. 119 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: And well, there was a time when every person, and 120 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: this was mostly women in the millennial era, would have 121 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: all the little mustache tattoo on their finger. You know, 122 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: do you remember that? God, that was annoying? No, I 123 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: didn't see f I was big for a moment. Yeah, 124 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: that was big for that was. 125 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 3: A permanent defacing of your body for kind of a 126 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: dumb little uh for a joke. 127 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's when they discovered like City and Color, 128 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 6: and you know all those types of indie bands like this. 129 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 6: You know, that was them trying to just be the 130 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 6: they wanted to stick out. Empire of the Sun. Yeah, 131 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 6: you were. 132 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: You were listening to Empire the Sun and you were 133 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: you were listening to Mumfords and Sons, and you were 134 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: getting the little mustache tattoo while you went to a 135 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: nice little gastro pub and got a handheld sandwich for 136 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: fourteen dollars. That's what it was. You got a handheld. 137 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 6: But as far as like the tattoos now, like, I 138 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 6: see what you guys are talking about, because how many 139 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 6: of these celebrity chefs or even just pro chefs all 140 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 6: or just like full sleeves. 141 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 2: You can't be a chef if you're not super tatted up. 142 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: But then it averges. I mean that is a thing. 143 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: It's like, and this is how all counterculture goes. It's 144 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: cool and weird, and then it reaches the mainstream saturation, 145 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: and then it's no longer interesting anymore. 146 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: Well, if you've got a sleeve, you better be in 147 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: the yakuza. Oh yeah, talk about devalue. 148 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 5: Also. 149 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you're aware of this, 150 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 3: but they're permanent, and if you have if you are 151 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: prone to ever changing your mind or say growing up 152 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: and having different thoughts about things, they're they're kind of 153 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: tough to get rid of. So why would I put 154 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: like an R on one hand and L on the other. 155 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Yeah, you know someday. My 156 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: mom always, you know, was like, you don't look, Oh 157 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: those guys have tattoos. They're scary. That's a scary thing. 158 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 2: It's a scary person, you know, Because we were so sheltered, 159 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: and then when we were in high school, my brother 160 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: got a tattoo from the middle of his shin down 161 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: to the bottom of his foot and guess what it was. 162 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 2: It was a giant cross. What a moment that was 163 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: for her. 164 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: That's not what I thought you were going to see. 165 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: What a wild thing that And how do you reconcile 166 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: that mom. 167 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: Well, also, you do these things at different stages of 168 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: your life, and we're prone to make decisions when we're 169 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: younger that maybe we wouldn't when we were older. And 170 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: so when I was in I lived for a year 171 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: in Scotland, there was a guy who had a forehead 172 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: tattoo that consisted of two words. One was a verb, 173 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: another one was a pronoun. I'm guessing that made it 174 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: hard for him to interview for jobs later in life, right, 175 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: I guess it. 176 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: Depends on what he was doing. But sure, yeah, that 177 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: that reduces the amount he couldn't be on KTLA. We'll 178 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: say that much. Probably he wasn't going to be doing 179 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: the weather like outside of safe harbor hours. No, that's right, 180 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 2: that's right, you know there it is. By the way, 181 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: I was going to get to this this hour, but 182 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: I'll get to it next hour. I think I will 183 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: say quickly though. San Francisco now back in the news 184 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: because people are, you know, reacting to the Super Bowl, 185 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: the coverage. They were all over the Bay Area. There 186 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: was obviously the stadium in San Jose, but live coverage 187 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 2: all the events, everything was happening in the city of 188 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: San Francisco all over the Bay Area. And lots of 189 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: really positive things that people had to say about that, 190 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: but also some backlash. Plus gen Z doesn't drive, they 191 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: don't romance, and they don't drink. What are they doing? 192 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: And speaking of driving, eighty seven thousand cars recalled over 193 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 2: an overheating fire risk, and this one of these cars. 194 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: Many of these vehicles, I feel like are kind of 195 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: like the official vehicle of Southern California. Maybe if you 196 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: take out the Prius and the Tesla, this is like 197 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: number three. So we'll get into that when we come back. 198 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: Lots coming up tonight. 199 00:08:53,040 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 200 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 2: Brandy Is. You know, she's a fine girl and that's 201 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: all you got to know about her. Up in San Francisco, 202 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: a sailor town. If there ever was one man back 203 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: in the day when San Francisco probably got right around 204 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: the gold Rush. You remember it, right, That was just 205 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: a hard drink and pirate kind of town and a 206 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: lot of that is still the soul of that town 207 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: to this day. And I think the story of San 208 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: Francisco has always been one of boom and bust, whether 209 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 2: you go all the way back to the Gold Rush, 210 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: to the counterculture movements of the nineteen sixties, to the 211 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: tech booms and bust that we've seen over and over 212 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: and over again. And I think we're in a boom 213 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: face right now. And a lot of the coverage of 214 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl meant that a lot of people in 215 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: the media, a lot of the sports media, got to 216 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: go to San Francisco. Not all of them were super 217 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 2: happy about it, by the way. And yes, I know 218 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: that the game happened in San Jose, which is not 219 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: San Francisco the city, but there was a lot of 220 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: activity going on in the whole Bay area. He had 221 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: Tony Dungee up there on Alcatraz doing live shots the 222 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 2: whole morning on Sunday. But the reaction from much of 223 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: the media, especially the sports media, was that, hey, San 224 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: Francisco is actually a pretty nice place. Pat McAfee ESBN 225 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: Morning Show. College Game Day also a Hoosier said, San 226 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 2: Francisco's beautiful city with awesome vibes. It's an unbelievable place 227 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: to be. On Friday, on his show, when he was 228 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: talking to George Kettle, he said, we've been told this 229 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 2: place is an asshole. This place is gorgeous. It's been 230 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: incredible and you can feel it's a football town. On Thursday, 231 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: he talked to San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, saying, we 232 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: were so surprised by what we had been told and 233 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: expected versus when we walked through the streets and got here. 234 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 2: It's like, the buildings are beautiful. There are so many hills, 235 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: there were people run. It was a very active city. 236 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: It felt like I'd not known this about San Francisco. 237 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: Barstool Sports podcaster Brandon Walker said, top five city. We 238 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: got a problem in this country of everybody on one 239 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: side looks at the city and says, Oh, you're gonna 240 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: get shot. It's terrible. You're gonna be on drugs. Your 241 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: homeless people are gonna eat your face if you're going 242 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 2: down the street and you're up on those hills. Particularly 243 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: every time you come to a stop sign, if you 244 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 2: look right or left, You're going to have the most magnificent, 245 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: magnificent view you've ever seen, He continues, saying, you'll be 246 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: looking at Alcatraz right on the water. You'll be looking 247 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: right out of the Golden Gate Bridge, You'll be looking 248 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: down at the Bay Bridge. It's a phenomenal, phenomenal town. 249 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 2: Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy very positive of especially some of 250 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: the pizza in town. He did a one byte review 251 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 2: of Square Pie. Guys gave him a se point nine, 252 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 2: which I guess is very high because he doesn't generally 253 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: rate Detroit style pizza very well. But he said it 254 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: was a great city. And now the angle of this 255 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: is like, well, look at all these people who believe 256 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: the hype that we were a crappy place. You don't 257 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 2: believe everything. Well, the truth is it was a crappy place. 258 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: I go there all the time when I'm not Mark Ronner, 259 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 2: but I go there frequently. And having been there so 260 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: much over the last ten years, and to watch the 261 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: transition of that city where I think it was at 262 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: it's worse than twenty twenty one, probably twenty two. To 263 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 2: see how that city has turned around in that short 264 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 2: amount of time is remarkable. I know that it's an 265 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: easy punching bag. All of California is an easy punching bag. 266 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff to be frustrated with. But 267 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: when I tell you, I went up there and I 268 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: was shocked the most recent time, which was, you know, 269 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 2: a month ago. I was shocked at how clean it was, 270 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: the energy, it how safe it felt, how different it 271 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: felt than the last time I had been there. I 272 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: was like, maybe I gotta move here, because it got 273 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: back to La and LA still felt the same. And 274 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: it used to be that La felt like it was 275 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: cleaner and safer than San Francisco at a certain point. 276 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: Now I don't know. I'm not so sure it really. 277 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: It's a shock and a lot of the things that 278 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: happened there. Yes, the AI boom has brought a lot 279 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: of money into town, but the mayor, I think, you know, 280 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: and he's a Democrat, no surprise there. But I think 281 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: he's done a lot of reasonable common sense things like 282 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: you can't commit crime in public. You can't leave somebody 283 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: to die of an overdose in public. Get him into treatment. 284 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: It's not enough to give him a house, give him 285 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: into treatment. You can't just go rip people off in 286 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: a public place, we're going to prosecute crime. And those 287 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: little things changed the sense of safety and made people 288 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: more comfortable with going back into town spending their money 289 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: go into businesses. The businesses absolutely love it, and they 290 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: should because there is no city in this country I 291 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: think that is more blessed with a physical beauty, the weather, 292 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: the rolling hills in the Bay. I mean, I love 293 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: La I love southern California, but you look at just 294 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: the perfect mix of a functional city that's got great weather, 295 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: great restaurants, great innovation, great imagination. That should be the 296 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: best city in the world. There's no reason not to be. 297 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: So it's great to see people really appreciating that and 298 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: understanding that. Quick break, we'll be right back with more 299 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: right after this. 300 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 301 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, the quarterback from spend a lot of time 302 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: outher in California, plays for the Seattle Seahawks. Of course, 303 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: they won the Super Bowl yesterday twenty nine to thirteen. 304 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: Uh didn't win any money on that one with the 305 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: my grid wasn't wasn't wasn't on the right one there, 306 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: But he won a lot of money, of course because 307 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: He's got a three year, one hundred and five million 308 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: dollar contract, but amazingly he owes more than one hundred 309 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: and seventy eight thousand dollars he earned yesterday for the 310 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: Seattle victory over the Patriots at Levi Stadium, according to Sportico, 311 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: which is not a place in a rich person's house. 312 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: That's a publication. I'll meet you in the Sportico, dear. 313 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: I'm taking my tea on the Sportico. Darnold's bill to 314 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: the Golden State will be two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, 315 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: even though he won one hundred and seventy eight thousand. 316 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: I just got to pay California to two hundred and 317 00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars because of what's called California's jock taxes. Yuck. 318 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: I'm bad with math, but I don't think I want 319 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: a jock tax. I don't want anything to do. 320 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 5: No. 321 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: They forced pro athletes too do not live in the state, 322 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: to fork over a percentage of their yearly income based 323 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: on the number of days they work. In California. Days 324 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: are called duty days, jock tax and duty days. We're 325 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: just we're we're batt in one thousand to night, and 326 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: after the Seahawks touchdown in northern California on February first, 327 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: Darnald and the rest of the team accumulated eight days 328 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: of duty days for their jock taxes. You can't say 329 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: it without laughing. It's so weird. It's like, what a 330 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: stupid thing. 331 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 3: Like After you go on a cruise ship, you might 332 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: have several duty days. 333 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: Oh and the jock itches perhaps okay. BMW has recalled 334 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 2: eighty seven thousand cars in the United States because of 335 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: bad starters that might overheat and catch on fire. And 336 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: the reason I bring this up is because it's like 337 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: every BMW that they have sold over the past three 338 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: years four years. It's the Toyota Supra from twenty twenty 339 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 2: one to twenty twenty three, because they make the same 340 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: engine engines made by BMW, the three series, the X three, 341 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 2: the X four, the four series, the five series, Z 342 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: four and two series Coop Coupe. As far as the variant, 343 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: we're talking about the four cylinder motor, not the six cylinder. 344 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: Dealers say that they will replace the starter for free 345 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: starting in March twenty four, So you better hope that 346 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: if you've got one of these cars and it's in 347 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 2: the garage of KFI that it doesn't doesn't catch on 348 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: fire between now and March twenty fourth.

Check this out. Back in nineteen eighty three, 403 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: half of sixteen year olds had their driver's licensees. In 404 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, it's less than a quarter. And it's 405 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 2: not that gen Z says that they're too cool to drive. 406 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: In some cases they are scared, which is wild because 407 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: cars really have never been safer, except if you have 408 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: one of those specific BMWs I guess. 409 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 3: Are the kind of weai mo that's piloted by people 410 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: in the Philippines. 411 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: Oh no, that's a fun story. There's also uber, of course, 412 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 2: which we didn't have as kids and parents who happily 413 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: drive their kids everywhere. One woman on Reddit described her 414 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: son as a twenty one year old passenger prints The 415 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: Federal Highway Administration says most teens will eventually get their licenses, 416 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: but they are waiting longer now. Driving, of course, used 417 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: to mean freedom, but experts say with less emphasis on 418 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: real social life stuff, staying at home isn't as bad 419 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: as it once was. Lots of diversions. 420 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 3: What did you do when you got your driver's license? 421 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 3: What was the first thing you did? 422 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: I think I drove to my friend's house and I 423 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: was like, look, look man, no hands. And I had 424 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: a Volvo two forty, which is like way, way way old. 425 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: When I got it, it was like ten years old, 426 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 2: fifteen years old probably, no, it's probably close to twenty 427 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: years old. It was late eighties. Car got my so 428 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: you were driving a tank. You were safe in there. 429 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 2: I'm driving a tank. But the thing was so it 430 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 2: was a stick shift. So I learned how to drive 431 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: not only on a car that was terrifying and old, 432 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: but also that was a stick shift, you know. So 433 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 2: it was a crazy time. But you know, I understand 434 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: that kids these days, they don't they don't like need 435 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 2: cars to go meet people. They don't. I mean, we 436 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 2: would drive because it was freedom, because you want to 437 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: go drinking somebody's basement and maybe have a chance to, 438 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 2: you know, kiss a girl or something or something. 439 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 440 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: The first thing I did the day I got my 441 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 3: driver's license, and this involved like two hours of arguing 442 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: to secure the car. I took my grandparents' Mercury Bobcat 443 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 3: with the fake wood panel on the side. Buddy and 444 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 3: I went to a drive in movie. It was like 445 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 3: an all night I think it was an all night 446 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 3: James Bond festival. But boy were they not happy about that. 447 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: Oh man, really because you didn't come back with the 448 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 2: car till real late. Well it was daylight. But had 449 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 2: a fun night. 450 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that's a sign of how things are changing, 451 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 3: because driving movies are almost extinct now. But I can't 452 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: imagine being a teenager and not wanting to do something 453 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 3: like that this second you get your license, and I. 454 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 2: Know, I just it's a world that I can't comprehend, 455 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: and I don't want to. I really liked having I 456 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 2: think that I had the last childhood that was very 457 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 2: similar to the way that kids lived for the prior 458 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: sixty years since like radio and TV, it was teenage 459 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 2: life was pretty much the same from nineteen fifty something 460 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: up until two thousand and five. And as soon as 461 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: social media and everybody had an iPad and everbody in 462 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 2: a computer and high speed internet, that changed everything. But 463 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: up until then, I think we all kind of had 464 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: the same thing, wanderlust. You wanted to get the car, 465 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: go visit your friends, and now I guess not. 466 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 467 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: Checking out with George Nori to see what's coming up 468 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: tonight on the one and only Coast to Coast.

We got a name for you, 502 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 2: Richie rich Timber. 503 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: That's also your porn name. 504 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: There you go, There you go. Uh So. One of 505 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: the biggest fears I ever had as a kid, because 506 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 2: I was in a big family was eating alone. I 507 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 2: don't know what was about being out in the world 508 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: seeing a person eating by themselves at a Wendy's, staring 509 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 2: into the ether between bites of frosty dip fries. It 510 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: was like we had seen a ghost or something. And 511 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: my dad had to be like, stop staring at that 512 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 2: person's they're just alone. But as a child, you're just like, 513 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: but why No. 514 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 3: It used to be kind of a stigma of a 515 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 3: thing to go to a restaurant and by yourself. This 516 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 3: is kind of a deep cut, but I remember reading 517 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 3: an article about the actor Ron Ely, who was in 518 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 3: the Doc Savage movie and played Tarzan on TV, about 519 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 3: how he loved to go to restaurants by himself and 520 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 3: how odd everyone thought that was. Yeah, but it was 521 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 3: just self love's He was secure enough as a man 522 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 3: in his own skin to go treat himself to a 523 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 3: nice dinner. 524 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 2: That all right, that's right, and that is the way 525 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: it is now. Is that the before times were of 526 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: course times that we didn't have iPhones, and it was 527 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: also before a time I sort of everybody was less 528 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: annoying back then, so you could stand to sit there 529 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 2: and a meal with them. But as they say, if 530 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: you live long enough, your childhood fears can become wellness. 531 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: Trends the tides of turn. People eat alone now, not 532 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: because they're losers, but because it's a form of self 533 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: care and personal indulgence. Orders for solo meals have risen 534 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 2: sharply since twenty twenty one. Nearly one in five full 535 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 2: service restaurant reservations last year were for one person. Diners 536 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: are skipping group meals just to have a little bit 537 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: more of what they want because obviously they don't have 538 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 2: to worry about splitting a check. Oh, you ordered a 539 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: lot more than I did. You had six martinis, Andy, 540 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: and now you're expecting to split the bill with me 541 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 2: when I just had a perier. 542 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 3: Oh that's the worst. This is why I eat standing 543 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 3: up at the kitchen counter. Oh at least you get 544 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 3: the counter. See, I don't trust myself enough. I've just 545 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 3: go straight over the insyncorator. Well, I mean, if you're 546 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 3: gonna do it like that and you're worried about making 547 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 3: a mess, just eating the tub like the rest of ushit. 548 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 6: No, but it's kind of true. Like what Mark was 549 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 6: saying is that it's kind of transferred over from people 550 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 6: being not as stigmatized for being single, like oh, something's 551 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 6: wrong with that person. But it's like people can you know, 552 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 6: especially now with like you said, a new diversions all 553 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 6: the streaming options. If you're a gamer, there's no one 554 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 6: to answer to you. You just have your food. So 555 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 6: it kind of fits in the restaurant world as well. 556 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 6: Get your peace and quiet, like you said, you just 557 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 6: get what you want, no splitting, no worry, and you 558 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 6: just head out the door and that's it. And you 559 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 6: don't have a blind date that orders another entree to take. 560 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 6: Oh man, I've heard about that. 561 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 2: That was that is that is? That is a memory 562 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: that will follow me? It might be. My best story 563 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: is that when I went out to eat one time, 564 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: the waiter pop eye towards the end of the meal 565 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: and was like, Hey, do you guys want to look 566 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: at a menu? And I'm thinking sure, She wants to 567 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: look at dessert. All right, sure, So he comes back 568 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: with the menu and she looks and she's like, actually, 569 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 2: can I And she ordered another entree and I was like, oh, 570 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: to go, and I paid for And that there is 571 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 2: your gentleman. Is the story of being a gentleman and 572 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: a loser. Yeah, but I think that there is something 573 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: to be said about that. You know, spending time by 574 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: yourself is good. You can have some reflection and you 575 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: can sit at the bar. That's one of the greatest 576 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 2: things ever. Order at the bar, sit there by yourself, 577 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: who cares watch them cook? That's a great feeling. Oh yeah, 578 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 2: it's good stuff. Well, thank you guys so much for 579 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: being here tonight.
