7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: who ended up getting up close in person.

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 4: Did you get under the house?

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 5: Now? At ive thirty, an Altadena homeowner finds himself living

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 5: with a very unwelcome.

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: And very large roommate.

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 5: Turns out, a massive bear has settled into the crawl

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 5: space of an Alta Dina home, getting way too cozy

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 5: for comfort.

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: Jillian Smuggler now shows us what the homeowner is up against.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 6: The Alta Dina man set up a home security camera

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 6: right outside this crawl space right here, because you can

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 6: see that brick that's just one of many items he

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 6: noticed was moved and then even destroyed so you can

20
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 6: image and his surprise when he saw a five hundred

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 6: pound black bear living right under his home.

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: Now, I know we said five hundred pounds, and I

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: asked this question this morning on TV. We don't know

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: that's five How do you know that's five hundred pounds.

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: Are you saying that a bear might be reticent to

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 4: step on a scale? Yeah?

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: I mean obviously we didn't weigh.

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: You just guess it's like somebody, like if there's a

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 4: Captain Quint of Bears, somebody can just eyeball it one. Yeah,

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 4: that's a five hundred pounder.

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: And you think that guy was in Altadena talking to

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: Gillian Smuggler. I don't know. Maybe.

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 7: Oh.

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 6: It started Monday night when Ken Johnson's outdoor camera picked

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 6: up movement in the driveway.

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 7: It was really big. I've seen him before, but he

37
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 7: was going through the trash. He's never done that before.

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 7: And then the next morning I look and he's coming

39
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 7: out from underneath my house.

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

41
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 6: Since then, the bear hasn't just visited, it's moved in.

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 6: Ken says he sees it every day on cameras, slipping

43
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 6: in and out like he owns the place.

44
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if the whole time you're in your

45
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: house you know that there's a bear under your.

46
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: Floorboards, I'd feel safe, you'd feel safe. Would Marley like that?

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: I'm speaking for myself. I can't speak for dog.

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Marley is Sam's a very cool dog who I feel

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: like is so charismatic.

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: He might make friends with the bear. I get the film,

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: that's exactly what he would do.

52
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 6: But on Friday, things turned a little too close for comfort.

53
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: How can we get Jillian? How can we get closer

54
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: than under the house?

55
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 7: So I had to go around and change the batteries.

56
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 7: So I went around there and I just glanced at

57
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 7: the hole from standing up, and I heard this horrible

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 7: growl like, oh the hiss.

59
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: I woo like, And I just ran, that's a great sound.

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 7: And I heard this horrible growl like, oh the hiss,

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 7: I woo like, And I just.

62
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: Ran, that's a drop ready, So I, oh, yeah, that's

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: not going to get old at all.

64
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: I just ran.

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 6: Ken's now living on edge, unsure when this uninvited house

66
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 6: guest will pop up next. So naturally, I asked.

67
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: If we could go see it.

68
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I see it, I see it.

69
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: I see it.

70
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: Do you see the bear?

71
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: Yes?

72
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 8: I see it.

73
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: And she's running. She's running, running, running, care you Okay,

74
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure who to root for here. Did she

75
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: just sacrifice the camera man? Yeah?

76
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: She was like, can come on, we're getting out of here, Andre,

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: you're staying.

78
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 7: I dropped my last counters animal control.

79
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 6: When you need a way, I'm gonna pants.

80
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: He says.

81
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 6: It's unsettling knowing he's sharing the property with a five

82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 6: hundred pound bear living just feet below him.

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 7: And it looked like a like a monster because the

84
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 7: eyes are like close together.

85
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: And then his big wide head and I wasn't even

86
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: sure what I.

87
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Was looking at.

88
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 6: Law enforcement told him staying inside will keep him safe,

89
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 6: but he wants this tenant gaune.

90
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: We're you gonna start charging him round. Yeah, it'd be nice.

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 6: He reached out to California Fish and Wildlife to see

92
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 6: if they can help evict this enormous squatter before things escalate.

93
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 7: I got a recording that said they're close for the holidays.

94
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 7: I don't need a bear for Christmas. I want to

95
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 7: get rid of.

96
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: The bear, for that is the most classic California thing ever.

97
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: You turn off the heat in the water, we have

98
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: a bear under the house. Sorry, please call back between

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: the business when we're open for business between the hours

100
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: of nine am and ten am.

101
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 8: I'm just putting a sign out in front of the

102
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 8: house that says beware of bear.

103
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good way to start for it.

104
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's a you know, Conway always says,

105
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: the way that you can make sure that nobody breaks

106
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: into your house, you put an American flag hanging from

107
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: the front porch and those bad guys just keep on walking.

108
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: Put a punish your symbol up that.

109
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: If they if they recomic books, yes, if they're ignorant,

110
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: who's to say, I have a bear under the floorboards.

111
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: That's a great it's a tough security system because they

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: don't know that it discriminates against people that you don't

113
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: want there.

114
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: And also you growl like, oh the hiss I woo

115
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: like that.

116
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: Sounds like the bear got into Ken's alcohol.

117
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: Well like, oh the hiss wo like great Ken, I

118

119
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: Man.

120
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 7: I don't need a bear for Christmas. I want to

00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 7: get rid of the bear for Christmas.

122
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 6: Until Ken can get some help. He tells me he's

123
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 6: going to continue staying indoors and of course keep those

124
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: cameras rolling. Reporting in Alta. Dina Jillian Smuckler KTLA Gove News.

125
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: Jillian Smuckler, new reporter at KTLA. Great package. That's a funny,

126
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: funny package. Good sound from that guy. Hilarious if you're

127
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: looking for an internet that does not have AI. You're

128
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: going to look for an internet that exists before November thirtieth,

129
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two.

130
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: That is the day Open Ai debuted chat gipt to

131
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: the public. And of course it just gets worse and

132
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: worse every day.

133
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: Your feed is filled with videos that are basically, at

134
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: some point very convincing. Maybe you'll learn on the third

135
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: or fourth watch that probably isn't real, but it's full

136
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: in people who know better. I mean, the ability now

137
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: that this Google's nano banana has to generate images that

138
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: look as real as real can be is so so disturbing.

139
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: Unverified AI slop goes through different phases. For a while,

140
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: it was sort of funny, like celebrities trying to eat

141
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: spaghetti and they looked crazy, and it was like, oh,

142
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: that's stupid and funny. And then you had the whole

143
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: era of the shrimp Jesus, where for some reason Facebook

144
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: was littered with CGI images AI created images of shrimp

145
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: arranged to look like Jesus Christ. I don't understand it

146
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: anymore than you do. And below that hundreds thousands of

147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: comments of people just saying, amen, are they bots? Are

148
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: they people behaving like bots? I don't know, but coming

149
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: up we'll talk about how you can go to a

150
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: pre AI Internet and why a McDonald's had to hire

151
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: a mcbouncer. It's so mcbad you don't want to mc

152
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: miss it.

153
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

154
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Reesmeyer just passed nine twenty and I will

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: also be Andy Reesmeyer just past ten twenty eleven twenty

156
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: and maybe after that. We were talking about AI and

157
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: how it's changed our Internet in a very short amount

158
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: of time. I guarantee you a popular conversation at the

159
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving dinner table this year was convincing someone that what

160
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: they were sharing showing was not real. I know it

161
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: because I heard it. I heard it in a family situation.

162
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: I heard it at in a public restaurant where somebody

163
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: at a table next to the table that I was

164
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: at was trying to show I think his daughter something

165
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: that he had seen on the internet and said, look

166
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: at how crazy this is. And she had to very

167
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: tactfully let him down, softly, not burst his bubble, and

168
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: say I think that that's AI. The thing that's wild

169
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: about this is that it happened so quickly and so

170
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: effectively that it's become very hard for us, I think,

171
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: to adapt the immediate reaction to know that something isn't real.

172
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: That's new for most people, I think.

173
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: But there is a way that you can sort of

174
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: get a look at what the Internet was like back

175
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: before chat gpt. It's something called slop Evader, and it's

176
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: an extension for Mozilla, Firefox or Google Chrome. And essentially

177
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: what it helps you do is search the Internet pre

178
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: November thirtieth, twenty twenty two. That's when chat gpt came out.

179
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: So essentially you're going on Reddit, you're going on YouTube,

180
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: you're using this and it searches only things that were

181
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: published before chatchept came out. The creator says, the sewing

182
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: of mistrust in our relationship with media is a huge thing,

183
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: a huge effect of the synthetic media moment that we're in.

184
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: I was thinking about ways to refuse it, and the simplest,

185
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: dumbest way to do that is to only search before

186
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: twenty t twenty two. And it does kind of feel

187
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: like the good old days of being able to even

188
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: remember what it was like when you would search for

189
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: something and you would go on Google before they came

190
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: up with the Gemini AI response, and it allegedly knows

191
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 2: pretty well. But I've seen a lot of it be wrong,

192
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: especially when people are using chat GPT for stuff like

193
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: legal briefs. Yes, I'm aware of at least a couple

194
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: people who have used it for legal advice and gotten

195
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: themselves into serious trouble.

196
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 4: Those are reported to be just strewn with mistakes.

197
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: They're not only mistakes where they hallucinate case law, but

198
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: they interpret the law incorrectly. And the reality is, and

199
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: I think this is the most important thing to remember.

200
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: Even though I think people who are addicted to this thing,

201
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: I know it's an addiction. I think people who like

202
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: it and use it and think it's the greatest thing

203
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: since sliced bread. You have to remember that the app

204
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: is just trying to keep you using it. It doesn't

205
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: care if you get the right answer and move on.

206
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: It just wants you to continue to think.

207
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: That it is valuable.

208
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: So what it will do is it will find because

209
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: it knows what you are doing, it keeps track of

210
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: everything that you've done with it. It will look for

211
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: your emotional pain points and it'll exploit those. They are

212
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 2: not shy about this. It's just about trying to keep

213
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: people using it.

214
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: Well, so are the investors, because we're finding out they're

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: about to lose their shirts, and that's why they're giving

216
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: it the extra hard push right now when it couldn't

217
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 4: be more obvious that most people really don't want or

218
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: need any AI.

219
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: And it's weird because I think that there are situations

220
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: that it's good for, like any computer. You know, when

221
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: you're using it as like a verbal calculator.

222
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: Or there was a thing I saw this weekend that

223
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: used AI to detect breast cancer far earlier than normal

224
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 4: methods could. Yeah, totally valid, good uses, but that's not

225
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: what we're getting. We're getting things that put people out

226
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: of jobs and that turn people's brains into tapioca by

227
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 4: doing writing and thinking work that they should be doing themselves.

228
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: Let me give you an example of how stupid I

229
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: have become. And I'm not a big AI person, but

230
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: just from thinking about it and having a lot of

231
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: it slowly infiltrate, Apple, Google, whatever. Yesterday I drove down

232
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: from the Valley to the Hollywood Christmas Parade. I left,

233
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: got on the one on one freeway and I put

234
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: in the address to where I was going to go

235
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: and it showed up on the map, and I knew

236
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: better than to go that way, because I've lived in

237
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: LA for fifteen years.

238
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: You whipped out your Thomas Guide.

239
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: I know how the shortcut works. I'll say it one

240
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: time and then I won't tell anybody else. Outpost is

241
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: the last resort. It's what you do if you need

242
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: to get from the valley to Hollywood and there's something

243
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: you can you can take us a side street. I

244
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: know this. I didn't trust my gut. I thought, well,

245
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: maybe it knows something more than I do, maybe it's better,

246
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: maybe it is enlightened. I followed that Apple Maps. I

247
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: followed it down the one to one free. We had

248
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: passed the exit that I would have got off and

249
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: gone to my Holland and snaked my way back to

250
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: the pre come down over by the Hollywood Bowl, and

251
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: I get stuck, and I'm stuck there. I'm stuck there

252
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: for an hour, and I'm cursing my myself the whole

253
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: time because I knew better, but I trusted the robot.

254
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: The future is not terminator. I mean eventually maybe, but

255
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: right now it's not an existential threat based on robots

256
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 2: that are coming here with machine guns. It is us

257
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: giving up our autonomy, giving up our ability to choose

258
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: and to reason, because we think it knows better. It's

259
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: scared the hell out of me, just like the McDonald's

260
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 2: that had to hire a mcbouncer that coming up when

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: we come back.

262
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A M six forty on demand.

263
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: Had a message from the one and only Shannon Farren

264
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: of Gary and Shannon and whom I will see tomorrow

265
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: at the pastathon. Both Gary and Shannon Matt you going down.

266
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: There, it's top But what time are we gonna be there?

267
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 4: Hy?

268
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: Right after they rap one?

269
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll see you on the way out. But Shannon

270
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: messaged me at seven forty five pm on my Instagram

271
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: saying that she wanted to come on and talk about

272
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: Chargers Charge Talk Chargers football. Of course, she's a sideline

273
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: reporter for the Chargers and I did not see it

274
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: until about five minutes ago, and I responded, but I said, yes,

275
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: please tonight. But I think she's probably I mean, I

276
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: hope she's doing something other than listening to the radio

277
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: right now, but if she is, we'd love to have

278
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: her call in to sort of set the record straight.

279
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: She's probably a sleep getting ready for the pastathon tomorrow.

280
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: Do you have to do the same kind of carb

281
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: loading for carb loading? Like you know how people before

282
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: marathons they load up on carbs. Now before a postathon,

283
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: do you also have to load up on carbs or

284
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: do you like, like, what what's the right move?

285
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that you're going to be required to

286
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 4: run any place at the pastathon.

287
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, depending on how much pasta you eat.

288
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: I mean there's no information that declares it as like

289
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: a twenty six point two mile pastathon.

290
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: I actually might be dumb. Do you do you eat

291
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: pasta at the pasta thon?

292
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 7: Well?

293
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 8: I get the feeling that's why they do it after

294
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 8: Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving is supposed to be the warm up

295
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 8: stretch your stomach.

296
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, this is smart. I know it's about

297
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: donating food for kids in need. But do you I've

298
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: never been to this pastathon before. Do people eat pasta

299
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: at the pasta you can avail yourself of, Well, I

300
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: don't know pasta. Maybe that would be rude though, you know,

301
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: if we're there to help people in need, I think

302
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: it's is it bad form if you go like order

303
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: a bowl of fetichini alfredo.

304
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: You'll have to discuss the pastathon etiquette with Michelle Cube.

305
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: I will, by the way, she is the woman who

306
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: makes all of that happen. None of those twelve prior

307
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: pastathons would exist, either twelve or eleven would exist without

308
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: Michelle Cube. She's the lady making it happen tomorrow, of

309
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: course at the White House, the Anaheim White House, pretty

310
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: much the whole day. And of course there's so many

311
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: ways that you can join in and either come out,

312
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: say hello, donate to the Caterinus Club to help kids

313
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: in need. Feed those kids in need, all because of you. Now,

314
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: these are some other kids who are in need of

315
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: maybe a complete different kind of help, maybe some disciplinary help.

316
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: And McDonald's New York City has hired a mc bouncer

317
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: because there are too many violent and rowdy teens. They

318
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: are calling Claudia Xanabria or Zanabria, perhaps the mc bouncer.

319
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: She's a McDonald's worker who they think is the toughest

320
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 2: employee at the restaurant. She survives stage three rectal cancer.

321
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: She was picked by the team to police the kids.

322
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: She says, this generation is different. They push me, they

323
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: disrespect me. Reading that in print makes me nervous. This

324
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: wallful house employees are giggling, right, you're right, you're right.

325
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 4: There for yourself some corporal punishment, that's right.

326
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: Apparently this is happening at a Forest Hills, New York McDonald's.

327
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: They have barred miners from being in the restaurant from

328
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: two to four pm unless they are accompanied by an adult.

329
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: I also do a radio show on Sunday from two

330
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: to four pm. I believe those are unrelated. Children love

331
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: your show, cops, Yeah, they've got nowhere to listen to

332
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: it now, thanks a lot. Cops have been called to

333
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: the restaurant fifteen times so far this year for assault,

334
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: disorderly conduct, and other crimes. The most serious incident happened

335
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: May twenty first, just before three pm, when a twenty

336
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: four year old man claimed he was slapped by a stranger.

337
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 8: It's not phony, is it. It was the hamburgler taking

338
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 8: his lunch. Well, you know, this is what I said earlier.

339
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 8: I don't know they're in the cast of characters for McDonald's.

340
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 8: There is a police officer. It's Officer Big Mac. Now,

341
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 8: I don't know if Officer Big Mac was involved in

342
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 8: an ois, and that's why.

343
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: He's unavailable to help out in this situation.

344
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 8: Grimis couldn't be reached for common Grimis Yeah.

345
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: Mac tonight is obviously now engaged in some weird alt

346
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: right neo Nazi things.

347
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: It's tough out here.

348
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: Rowdy teens usually are gone by the time police arrive,

349
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: and they leave a trail of destruction in their wake.

350
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: Of course, this McDonald's is not far from where would

351
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 2: it be not far from a school The band started

352
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: five months ago, and now the kids aren't inside the restaurant.

353
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 2: They crowd around outside as the main entrance remains locked

354
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: for those two hours, another entrance is barricaded with a

355
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: trash can. The mc bouncer will check the will step

356
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: outside rather and check the angry teens cell phones for

357
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: their mobile orders, and then we'll give them meals outside

358
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 2: and if they don't order online, they can come inside

359
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 2: and order at the counter one at a time. But

360
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: then when they get their food they have to leave.

361
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: Sounds like they need a mc sally port Ooh, I

362
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 4: don't want to be a victim, says one customer.

363
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: You don't know if they're going to throw something at

364
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: you or punch you. In the face or something. This

365
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: is a crazy world that we live in where the

366
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: kids are just wrecking shop and running rampant all the

367
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: livelong day.

368
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: And New York is not, like, you know, you don't

369
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: tolerate that kind of behavior in New York.

370
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: In the Midwest, we don't have a lot of that behavior,

371
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: but there's not a lot of confrontation happening. It's mostly

372
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: passive aggressive. New York is just straight up aggressive. So

373
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: for this to be at this level, as the MC

374
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: bouncer said, kids these days are just different. By the way,

375
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: Chili's is having some major issues. I know you guys

376
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: are more Sizzlers boys. Were you here when I did

377
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: the story about No, you weren't. It was last Monday,

378
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: did the story about how Sizzler's reinventing itself like the

379
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: Cracker Barrel?

380
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 4: I think, so, no, we were here?

381
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: You were here?

382
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah sorry?

383
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 8: And Sizzler, Yeah, dude, we're still playing making that like

384
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 8: family trek out there.

385
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 4: All of us need the family fild trip to us.

386
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: So this isn't a bit either hate Sizzler hate America.

387
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 3: That's right.

388
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 4: Sizzler is the choice of America, the joyless choice of America.

389
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: I can't remember if I told you this. One of

390
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: my friends took me to a Sizzler on a birthday

391
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: before I left Seattle to move here, and it was

392
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 4: the most amazing experience ever because I couldn't stop looking

393
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 4: at all the other people around us eating. I couldn't

394
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: tell you what the aggregate age of the clientele was,

395
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 4: but it was a lot of people in like warm

396
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: up outfits and just joylessly consuming, robotically joylessly, and I

397
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: was fascinated by it. I couldn't focus on my own food.

398
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 4: I was too busy watching everybody else.

399
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 2: Well, listen, much like your trip to Costco, it sounds

400
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: like the anthropological experiences that you get going out in public.

401
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: Are very valuable.

402
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: So when we go to the Sizzler, we cannot listen

403
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 4: to Dawn of the Dead music on our earbuds.

404
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: That's going to destroy it, you.

405
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: Know, I think, correct me if I'm wrong. Sizzler is

406
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: pretty big in the in Koreatown. Oh yes, I think so.

407
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: And I think like Anthony Bourdain went to a sizzler.

408
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: In Korea.

409
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's like there's a whole thing about it.

410
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: I'll let me look this up. And I'll get back

411
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 2: to you about it, but I think that it has

412
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: The Korean American population specifically really like Sizzler because you.

413
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: Don't really go out to eat.

414
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: Koreans don't go out to eat as much because they

415
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: cook at home so well. But when you go out,

416
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: you got to get a good deal. And what is

417
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: a better deal than Sizzler. Chilies, by the way, is uh.

418
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 2: At least the employees are upset because Wicked has ruined

419
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: the restaurant. They're calling it a living hell. That is

420
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 2: because of the Wicked inspired margarita's a bright pink Glinda

421
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: the and margarita called the Good Witch marg and an

422
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: alphabet inspired margarita with hints of apple called the Witches

423
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: brew mark only six dollars. Apparently they are a nightmare.

424
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: Account claiming to be a Chilies worker posts on Reddit

425
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: saying that the Wicked drinks are making their lives a

426
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: living hell. Why are they just drinking too many of

427
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: them themselves? Apparently they're selling out all of them every night.

428
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 2: My bar manager added a third bartender for Friday and

429
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 2: Saturday because the morning bartender isn't making enough batches for

430
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: and our numbers are play comitting because we have to

431
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: stop what we're doing to make them. Other employees from

432
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: different Chile's locations said that yes, they are having issues

433
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: with keeping up with all of the orders.

434
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 3: They even have to.

435
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: Do virgin versions because the kids want the swizzle sticks

436
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: that are in margarita's.

437
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, we live in hell. Send some of those

438
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: over to McDonald's. Right, quiet those kids down, that's right.

439
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 4: Someone asked how many you make it a day? Another

440
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 4: account said Saturday night, probably five hundred at least. That's hilarious.

441
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: That's wild.

442
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: Another user wrote, we made over seven hundred wicked margaritas tonight,

443
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: not even counting all the mocktail versions, which are lemonade

444
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: I had to do for my tables. I cannot wait

445
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: for November to be over. Well, now December has come,

446
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: and the innocence can never last, So no longer can

447
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: you get your hellscape experience of late stage capitalistic synergy.

448
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 4: Those alphabe Apple ones sound pretty tasty.

449
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you kind of a more of a pink

450
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 3: drink guy.

451
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you as a former bartender, to make

452
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 4: a real margarita is kind of labor intensive, But it

453
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 4: sounds like these are just like sludged.

454
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: Out of a machine.

455
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: I can't imagine they are muddling limes. You're not going

456
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 2: to do five No, five hundred is a lot of

457
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 2: drinks to make in one night.

458
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd have arms like loo forigne.

459
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: That is a very all night. Chili's is popping.

460
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

461
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: As we were talking about, oh maybe an hour ago.

462
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: Target shoppers are a little angry because they're not getting

463
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: the free thing.

464
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: That they thought that they deserved. Tell you hate that.

465
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: When your level of entitlement, you think that you just

466
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: deserve free stuff from a big corporation, and then when

467
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: they don't give it to you for no reason whatsoever,

468
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: you get angry and go on the internet. It wouldn't

469
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: be twenty twenty five without that. And of course, trimp Jesus.

470
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 3: All right. To get people into their stores.

471
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: For Black Friday, Target did a swag bag giveaway, a

472
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: shining bag of goodies.

473
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: This guy sounds good.

474
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: There's a chance for a big prize for the first

475

Speaker 2: one hundred guests.

476
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 3: Friday.

477
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: Up in Fresno at five am, hundreds huddled while temperatures

478
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: hung in the low forties, and well, you probably already

479
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: know what happens next.

480
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: Actually, this is so sad.

481
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: This is a man I'll just because this is on TV.

482
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: This is a man holding his Target swag bag revealing

483
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: the contents that are less than exciting.

484
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: This is so sad. I got an Uno card, pack

485
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 3: of Uno cards.

486
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: I like feel like electric, like drink mix, you know

487
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: where like you put the electrolyte drink mix into the water.

488
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 2: You've had them for some nerds, nerds, candy. It's not

489
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: me and.

490
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: That's all I have to say.

491
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go home.

492
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 3: I'm going to sleep.

493
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 4: Come on, I do like Huno a lot, though, Yeah,

494
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: sure would you wait hours in the cold for r

495
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 4: I don't know.

496
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: Now.

497
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: Most bags contain things like you saw there are a

498
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: pack of Uno cards, a mini shampoo bottle, some candy, electrolyte,

499
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: water supplements, some nerds. Widespread hype now being widely trashed

500
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: on social media.

501
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: But maybe this is messaging.

502
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: Target had said only ten bags out of the one

503
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 2: hundred given away would have.

504
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: An extra prize, so read the fine print. That would

505
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: be so yeah.

506
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 2: The promo graphics showed things like could be in there,

507
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: like a Ninja blender. I don't know how to say

508
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: this leaf thin hair dryer is that you know, runner

509
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: leafen hair dryer.

510
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: I feel like you might use one of those. They

511
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: don't try to deny it.

512
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: Oh, not your all, sir. I just cruised down the

513
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: one on one with the top off, if you say so,

514
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 2: flopping in the wind. How you say it's way too

515
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: fancy for me? Or a part of a pair of

516
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: Beats headphones.

517
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: But that's the deal.

518
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 2: One in ten got something expensive, which left ninety people

519
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: at each store.

520
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 3: To belly ache about swagless swag bags.

521
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: One shopper in our affiliate in Fresno says she got

522
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 2: in line at nine pm on Thursday, spending the night

523
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: outside the store just for the free tote bag.

524
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 4: That's on you, man, belly aching. Note the use of

525
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: the language there. Who they're putting this on you?

526
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: Like the belly achin you, Like you're saying you've already

527
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: tracked that.

528
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: I know.

529
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 4: I think the belly a can signify some punching down.

530
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: Aha that I'm biased.

531
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, my god.

532
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: You gotta think that somewhere between beggars can't be choosers

533
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: or don't look a gift horse in the mouth. My

534
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: favorite phrase By the way, don't look a gift horse

535
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: in the mouth.

536
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: No, stay away from the mouth.

537
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: I found out with the quick Google search that that

538
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: comes from. And I think a listener actually messaged me

539
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: and said, the reason that they say don't look at

540
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 2: gift horse in the mouth is because when the horse

541
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: was given as a gift. If you want to inspect

542
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: a horse to see how healthy or young it is.

543
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: You check their teeth.

544
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: Exactly.

545
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: Now, you say, exactly, I don't know this stuff.

546
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: Even though I grew up in Indiana, horses were never

547
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: given as gifts.

548
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you've dated a lot, you're single. Are you

549
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: trying to tell me you've never just on the first

550
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: date taken a flashlight and shined it into a nice

551
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: lady's mouth.

552
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't. It's been a while since I dated

553
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: a horse girl.

554
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: Because you I mean, I feel bad that people did this,

555
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: but no one forced them to.

556
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: Exactly, like targeted at your friend. They don't owe you anything.

557
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 5: And I don't want to say I'm more of a

558
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 5: skeptic that I would never expect anything good to be

559
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 5: in the free Yes.

560
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: And I would expect like coupon.

561
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: I would have actually expected like a deca.

562
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: Uno Cardinals shampoo.

563
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: The electro lights is kind of hot, kind of hot,

564
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 4: kind of promoting a brand.

565
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, yeah, they got it for free and it

566
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: goes into the bag.

567
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the thing.

568
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: It's like.

569
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: And I don't get ub jaded because I've done like

570
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: five red carpets before, but you always see, like, unless

571
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: it's the Oscars, the swag bag is never stuff that

572
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: people like really want you to have.

573
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: Right anyway, time to check the DMS. I stand by this.

574
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 3: I was a little hot this morning.

575
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: I heated about this, but I do think that there's

576
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: something very unsettling about the relationship between people and their

577
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: brands that a leads them to the psychosis of staying

578
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: overnight outside, even in twenty twenty five.

579
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: Right, it's not ten years ago.

580
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: It's not twenty years ago when Black Friday was like

581
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: a thing people did because they could get a TV

582
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: screen for four hundred bucks.

583
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: I know, but we always used to laugh at like

584
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 4: the Black Friday stampedes until some of us realized, oh,

585
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,239
Speaker 4: they're doing that because they're struggling and they don't have

586
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: much money.

587
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: I think that that's also terrible.

588
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 4: I mean, whose side, what kind of Stockholm since do

589
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 4: these TV people have when they say, yeah, target ain't

590
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: your friend.

591
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: That's me.

592
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: I literally that was me saying that what's wrong with you?

593
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, My point is if you've reached a

594
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: point where you feel like that you're disappointed because the

595
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: relationship that you have with an inanimate corporate object, which

596
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: by the way, exists solely to just sell you stuff,

597
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: reaches that you have given up your evening with your

598
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: family or or you're mad and you're posting about it

599
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: on social media like I, you're right, I understand what

600
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: you're saying, and I and I'm on the side of

601
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: the people who want the stuff, And.

602
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: Yet you're making the no, the stripper doesn't really like you? Argument?

603
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: Is that? Is that a bad argument to make?

604
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, that's a realistic it's a

605
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 4: bit cynical, but it's also a realist perspective. I think

606
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna plead limited experience on that front.

607
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 3: You know, you and me both better get out of this.

608
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: You and me both are gonna plead limited experience on

609
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: the I got one more thing to say before we
