We usually 102 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 5: do half half of our own stuff and half covers. 103 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: That is, that's the way to do it. You know, 104 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: and you got it. It's it's tough, it's fine. I 105 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: know the the audience loves it when you do all covers, 106 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: but I think it's a lot more fun when you don't, 107 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I think it's a more 108 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: fun thing to do when you do your own music. 109 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 3: As a musician, I think so. 110 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: But I'm playing bass on this one. I'm not. I'm 111 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: singing one song, but I'm mostly playing bass. Amazing, what 112 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: kind you got? I have a Hoffner? 113 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: Look at you, Paul McCartney. Are you a lefty as well? No, no, 114 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. I mean, I think it's it's annoying 115 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: to be a left handed guitar player because they have 116 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: to play either upside down, they have to flip the 117 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: guitar over, or they have to buy separate kind of guitars. 118 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: I used to be a left handed bass player and 119 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 4: I quit because I had no musical ability. 120 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: And you're right, it's tough being a lefty. 121 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: It's because everybody. Also, most people are right handed. I 122 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: think the majority of people are, and so especially when 123 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 3: you're trying to learn and you're looking at somebody else, 124 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: try to play. Not a lot of left handed tutorials. 125 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: But I'm excited for you. Bass is fun, Hoffner based, 126 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: very cool. Those are really neat, neat sound and basses. 127 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 3: Let's talk about in the show here. This is happening 128 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: right now. I'm looking at CNN and Fox News right now, 129 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: which are in the studio. There's a press conference going 130 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: on at mar A Lago with President Trump, who is 131 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 3: currently wrapping up a meeting with Ukraine President Vladimir Zelenski. 132 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 3: They are in final steps, so the two of them 133 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: say to end the war in Russia and Ukraine. There 134 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: are some concessions at least going into the meeting that 135 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: vlad Putin wanted Vladimir Zelenski to make, which mostly includes, 136 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: as you heard probably in that news update about ten 137 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: minutes ago, the Donbas region, which is an area that 138 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: has been hotly contested, is technically Ukraine. The Ukrainian government 139 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: and the Ukrainian people obviously don't want to give up 140 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: that area. Russia would like to increase its land mass 141 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 3: in that part of Europe, so of course that is 142 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: one of the reasons that they're all fighting over that. 143 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 2: So we will get you updated. 144 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: I'm sure about what comes out of that meeting if 145 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: there is an agreement. I know Ukraine was looking for 146 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: a sixty day cease fire out of that, and like 147 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: I said, I'm sure we'll have more on that coming up. 148 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: But I want to bring it back here because we had, 149 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: of course that storm. Now we're looking ahead here towards 150 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: New Year's Day where it looks like there's going to 151 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: be another storm on the way, and before that we 152 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: will have a little bit of a wind storm. 153 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 8: Okay, let's talk about the weather because Santa Ana wind 154 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 8: event starts today. Once the winds die down, here comes 155 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 8: more rain today and tomorrow, those sunny sky is expected 156 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 8: for everyone. In addition to those really gusty winds. Our 157 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 8: air quality is good to moderate for everyone today and 158 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 8: really those winds have started. But as we head into 159 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 8: later this afternoon and evening and those overnight hours into 160 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 8: Monday morning, this is when that Santa Anna wind corridor 161 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 8: really starts to see those strong guns. 162 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: So we're looking at a wind advisory in effect between 163 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: seven and ten pm tonight, and then a high wind 164 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: watch which will start at ten pm, and you're looking 165 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: at winds between forty forty five fifty miles an hour 166 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: in those typical Santa Ana wind corridors, all right, So 167 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: that's the mountain passes, the valleys, the desarts.

As far as what exactly is 338 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: going on if it's still leaking a little bit, I 339 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 3: don't know. 340 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: Oh, just back then where to go? 341 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 7: The immediate area receiving a shelter in place order that's 342 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 7: since been lifted, the freeway reopening shortly before nine pm Saturday, 343 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 7: the smell of gas subsiding by nightfall, Officials eventually finding 344 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 7: and stopping the source of the leak, confirming that no 345 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 7: explosion had occurred in declaring the area safe dark. 346 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: So it's over. That's good. 347 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: But what a freaky thing, man, especially if you think 348 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: about it, at least o Canyon gas leak and the 349 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 3: storage facility up there, that really was. I mean, people 350 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: had to sell their homes and they had to move 351 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: because they just said, I can't take it anymore. The 352 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 3: stakes some good news you made a missed in twenty 353 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: twenty five. Everybody's talking about how difficult everything was the 354 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 3: last year. I swear this happens every single year where 355 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: there's all these end of the year recaps. Someone says, 356 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 3: this year is over in parentheses, Oh thank god, it 357 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 3: was terrible. It was a terrible year. Good Ridding's never 358 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: seen a year that bad before. I feel like, truly 359 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 3: every year and this year is no different. CBS News 360 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 3: compiled a bunch of good news stories though, things that 361 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 3: are that are good, that happened that made people feel good. 362 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: It probably didn't make. 363 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 3: It to a lot of your h a lot of 364 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 3: your feeds, because of course, you know, good news isn't 365 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: triggering like bad news is. When we come back, I 366 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 3: will get into some of those things. Plus where you 367 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: should go for New Year's Eve here in southern California, 368 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: lots of opportunities. Maybe the Queen Mary down to Long Beach. 369 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 3: Now would you call Long Beach the South Bay? 370 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. Does it end at Palace Verdies. 371 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 4: I feel like it's the south end of the South 372 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 4: Bay and then like you hop over the little like 373 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 4: Seal Beach area and it becomes Orange County. 374 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh for sure. Long Beach obviously is La County. 375 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 3: But I Long Beach has its own thing outside of 376 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 3: the South Bay. Like I wouldn't call San Pedro South Bay. 377 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: Maybe it is Pedro is its own place. 378 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: But when I think about areas like Marina del Rey 379 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 3: or I'm sorry, not Marine Delay, Manhattan Beach, Manhattan, h Elsea, Gundo, 380 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 3: is that South Bay? 381 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 2: I think that's a South bay that is. Yeah. What 382 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 2: about Palos Verdices well. 383 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 3: North side of the peninsula, Sure, I think I think 384 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 3: Palas Verdies has got to be South Bay. 385 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: I agree, well, then Long Beach would be, you would 386 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 2: I don't, but I don't know. I wonder Long. 387 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 4: Beach is its own city, Isn't It is its own city? 388 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 2: But so is Redondo? Right, there's a mayor of Verdondo. 389 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 2: There's a mayor of right. I think Redonda, Verdando Beach 390 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: is its own city. Hermosa is its own city. I 391 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 2: know Manhattan Beaches. Yeah, so I don't know. The rules 392 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: around here are kind of whack. 393 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 3: I was talking about this to somebody over the weekend, 394 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 3: somebody from out of town who came in and was like, okay, 395 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 3: so do you can you explain how in Sea know 396 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 3: in Sherman Oaks and Studio City, those are cities, right, 397 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 3: It's like, no, not really, but the address says Sherman Oaks. 398 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 3: It's like, yes, but it's Los Angeles because there's no 399 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: mayor of Sherman Oaks. 400 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: It does it. 401 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: It's very confusing to these kind of hard hitting journalistic things. 402 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 3: I had a listener who I had to block because 403 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 3: I was just so over it messaged me that saying 404 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: that the show that I did last week was less 405 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 3: spicy than mayonnaise and I was like, what in the like, 406 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 3: what kind of spicy are you looking for?

And then he hit me 416 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: up again and he was like, oh man, this is 417 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 3: the least at least you got to be more interested, 418 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 3: because the least spicy thing I've ever heard.

No, you guys are 423 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 3: perfectly fine. Okay, good, try to match at the level 424 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 3: with the music coming up for the show. 425 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 2: Ooh, all right, well I'll look forward to what comes next. 426 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 10: Here. 427 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 428 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 3: A lot of bad news of the last year. This 429 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 3: is all something that we know well enough, especially if 430 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: you pay attention to the news if you've been watching. 431 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 3: We had the fires in January, had a lot of 432 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 3: really high level or at least I wouldn't say high 433 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: level is the right word, but we had a lot 434 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: of very public some terrible terrorist attacks. We had a 435 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: lot of shootings. I mean, there was a lot of stuff. 436 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 3: And I think that like the reality is. And I 437 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 3: used to think about this when I would go and 438 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 3: do my first real gig actually in news when I 439 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 3: was I was an intern for KTLA back in twenty 440 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 3: and eleven or twelve, and I would hop in the 441 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: car with a reporter and we would drive to you know, 442 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 3: sam Adino or Long Beach or Riverside or anywhere, you know, 443 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: downtown Los Angeles, the Valley. We would go to these 444 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: places where unfortunately something had happened, and it was always bad. 445 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: It always led the news and was on at ten 446 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 3: and eleven PM. And I remember thinking, my god, we're 447 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 3: going to these people's homes on the worst day of 448 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: their lives or wherever this thing happened, whether it's a 449 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 3: car accident or a home invasion, a robbery, shooting, whatever, 450 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: we are going to go highlight them and profile them 451 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: on the worst day of their lives mostly, And as 452 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 3: we go there, we're going to put this story on 453 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: as a representation of everything that's happening in southern California today. 454 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 3: You'll see the news, the open will happen, Sharon Michael 455 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 3: will come out and say two people are dead after 456 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 3: a car went into a house or whatever. But as 457 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 3: we would go there, I would think about this. I'd 458 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 3: look in the traffic on the freeway on the five 459 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 3: probably over it. How many millions of people are we 460 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 3: passing every single day who have nothing to do with this, 461 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 3: who are not impacted by this at all, who are 462 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 3: going about their day, having good days, bad at whatever. 463 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: They're just living. 464 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 3: And so the outside sort of sense of negativity I 465 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 3: think that you get of what's really happening in the. 466 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 2: News, you know. 467 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 3: I think you can argue, especially with social media now, 468 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 3: it makes it feel like things are really bad, more 469 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 3: so than they've ever been. For some people, that's probably true, 470 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 3: but most of us are just going through the life 471 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: every single day, trying to just get through it, I think. 472 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 3: But CBS News put together a list of some things 473 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 3: that I think are pretty nice to talk about, things 474 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: that were good stories. 475 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: This year. 476 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 3: Starting with the War on microplastics, Scientists at scale are 477 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 3: creating compostable plastic. 478 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 2: That's pretty right. 479 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 11: This cup, this shrink wrap may look like ordinary plastic, 480 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 11: but this stuff is made from sugar cane and it's 481 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 11: completely biodegradable. 482 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: It's compostable plastic. 483 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 3: And the key is that they break down, yeah, and 484 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 3: they don't leave microplastics. 485 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: This is the finished product black gold. 486 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 10: In fact, the first program involved the use of improv techniques. 487 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: Oh well, that's a different story, but let's go back 488 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 3: to the black Gold. So essentially what it is is 489 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 3: made out of, like I said, sugar cane, and it's biodegradable, 490 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 3: so that when it breaks down in your compost bin 491 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 3: or in even a landfill if it ends up there, 492 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: it's not breaking down into a million different little microplastics 493 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 3: that obviously end up in your body everywhere. Everything is microplastics. 494 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: You can't go to sleep, wake up, walk, breathe anything 495 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 3: without a microplastic. We don't even know what microplastics do 496 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: to us, by the way, but now we have an 497 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: opportunity at least for the sugar microplastics to decompose, and 498 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 3: there's not a problem with that anymore. At least as 499 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 3: far as that goes. I don't know if that makes 500 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 3: it more. Since it's sugarcane, is it sweet? Is it edible? 501 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 3: Do bugs like it? You would think they probably figured 502 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 3: this out, but I don't know. Another thing that we've 503 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 3: talked a lot about is how people, especially man, if 504 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: you were at Thanksgiving or at a Christmas with family members, 505 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 3: somebody start going off on something political. 506 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: And you're thinking, oh my god, here we go. 507 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 3: Well, now they're actually teaching how to disagree in college. 508 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 10: In fact, the first program involved the use of improv techniques. 509 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 10: For example, imagine that your job is to rant for 510 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 10: one full minute about something that makes you very, very angry. 511 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: Wouldn't know anybody around here who's that job. 512 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 10: My job is to take that information and present to 513 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 10: everybody what it is that you value, Not why you're angry, 514 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 10: not what you're opposed to, but what is under beneath 515 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 10: the anger that you feel. 516 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 2: I don't know about it will. I feel very. 517 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 10: Hopeful and the students are really leaning in to this 518 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 10: idea that to be a productive member of a multicultural 519 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 10: society we need to be able at least to listen 520 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 10: and understand. 521 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 3: But it's so fun to be self righteous. It feels 522 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 3: so good to be outraged. That's the problem. Whether it's 523 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 3: social media or the regular old media. We made it 524 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: so easy for people to just pick up whatever thing 525 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 3: they're angry about, make it part of their personality, make 526 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: it so intrinsic to who they are as people. 527 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 2: How dare you insult me? 528 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: I don't know what that is that when your face 529 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 3: gets hot and you start to feel self righteous, someone 530 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 3: wronged you. 531 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: Self righteous indignation, that's the thing. 532 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: And it's anything from like, oh you said something that 533 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 3: offends me personally from a political or cultural perspective, we 534 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 3: love that is it? Why is that an addicting feeling 535 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 3: to be wronged? Maybe we think growing up, when we're 536 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 3: wronged and someone then comes in and gives us attention 537 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 3: or fixes it, or feeling sympathy, getting the feeling of 538 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 3: someone else having sympathy or empathy for you, that's like 539 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 3: a weirdly addicting thing. But even when it's somebody who 540 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: cuts you off going down the freeway and you think, 541 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 3: I'm so mad, I'm gonna freak out. A couple other 542 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 3: things that have happened that are good. There's pop up 543 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 3: wetlands now. So you know, like in migratory situations where 544 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 3: birds fly south or north, they got to stop places. 545 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 3: In California, some ninety percent of all of the layover 546 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 3: the truck stops for the birds have disappeared because development. 547 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 3: But programs like Bird Returns are offering fifty thousand new 548 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 3: acres of bird rest stops here in California and they're 549 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: getting paid for it the farmers. 550 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: That's pretty exciting. 551 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 3: They also say that there's a lot of positive stuff 552 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 3: happening with AI and medicine, even though obviously we know 553 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 3: there's a lot of dangers with that. But they say, 554 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 3: in the next few years, we could have a revolution 555 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 3: on our hands. I did not be afraid of it. 556 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 3: I guess that depends on if you take the red 557 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 3: pill or the blue pill. Here's some other things that 558 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: CBS discovered that we're kind of nice. 559 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 11: We won't have time to mention how US homicides dropped 560 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 11: almost twenty percent this year, or how Paris cleaned up 561 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 11: the Sene River so completely that people are now swimming 562 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 11: in it for the first time in one hundred years. 563 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: Remember when they actually cleaned that up, and then they 564 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: had the mayor get in I think, and she was like, 565 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm going to swim in it, and then finally she 566 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,719 Speaker 3: swam in it, and then she got real sick. 567 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 11: Or how a British charity cleared three hundred thousand land 568 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 11: mines left over from a civil war in Sri Lanka 569 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 11: foot by foot. It took sixteen years, but two hundred 570 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 11: and eighty thousand people have now returned safely home. 571 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: Or how four old. 572 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 11: Dams on the Klamath River in California and Oregon had 573 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 11: cut salmon off from their traditional spawning grounds for over 574 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 11: one hundred years, but once the old were removed last year, 575 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 11: the salmon returned within days. Somehow they remembered. Have a 576 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 11: joyous new year. And remember, bad news breaks suddenly, but 577 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 11: good news happens everywhere all the time. 578 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 3: See what I'm saying, How David Pogue, he gets it. 579 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 3: Bad news happens quickly. You see that all the time. 580 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 3: It's there to get your attention. But good news is 581 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 3: happening all the time. This is KFIM six forty. 582 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 583 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: A few minutes here before we get to our three 584 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 3: o'clock hour. And I wanted to make sure that I 585 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 3: got to the New Year's Eve plans heading into twenty 586 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 3: twenty six. How exciting is that a couple of things happening. 587 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 3: Maybe you want to put on your calendar. Maybe you 588 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 3: still don't have plans yet. I think New Year's Eve 589 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 3: is one of those things. It's just such a darn hassle. 590 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 3: It's so expensive. Dinner is nuts. You don't you can't 591 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: just go to a regular restaurant and have dinner. Everything 592 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: is like a full nine course menu which costs two 593 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 3: hundred dollars indulgent, and you got to deal with the ubers, 594 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 3: which are crazy if you're not going to stay home. 595 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 3: I think it never before has it been more exciting 596 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 3: to stay home. And I will say this compared to 597 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: even the pandemic, because we're not being forced to stay home. 598 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 3: It's just great. Now you got so much on TV 599 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 3: to watch. Everything is accessible, everything is normal, and we've 600 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 3: optimized all of it. And it's it's so expensive to 601 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 3: do anything. But if you do want to go out, 602 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: especially if maybe you're a younger person, maybe you've got 603 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 3: a significant. 604 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 4: Other and you are you seventy thousand years old today 605 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 4: or some. 606 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 3: M I feel like it's just like got up to 607 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 3: It's caught up to me finally, Like I you've been 608 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: going hard for the past two or three weeks. 609 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 2: The hot it is you shaking your fist at the heaven. 610 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 5: I am. 611 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: I just I'm pulling that full Eric Spilman. I think 612 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 3: that I generally like going out, but I understand that 613 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 3: it's it now becomes something that even a regular role 614 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: like you used to be able to pop down to 615 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 3: the local watering hole, the neighborhood bar, have a burger 616 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: for ten bucks, a beer for six Yeah, maybe had 617 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 3: a date for forty dollars. You know, nowadays that world 618 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 3: doesn't exist at all, and it just it makes me sad. 619 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: But enough about my sadness. Marina Delray, they're doing fireworks 620 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 3: at nine pm and midnight. You can basically see any 621 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: any view of the fireworks from the restaurants in the harbor.

They are setting up 676 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 12: for brunch, right now, which they do every Sunday, but 677 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 12: on New Year's Eve. 678 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 3: I got to tell you, I've done a lot of 679 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: coverage of the Queen Mary over over my years of 680 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 3: being a future reporter at KTLA. I think that probably 681 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 3: every three or four months I would get down there 682 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 3: for some reason, whether it's a holiday thing or the renovation, 683 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 3: or some haunted situation that was happening. It was always 684 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 3: driving down to Long Beach to the Queen Mary. And 685 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 3: I loved it because I'm a big fan of ships, 686 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 3: and I like old school stuff, especially old school LA. 687 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 3: And with the renovations that they've done since they've had 688 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 3: a new group takeover, I think the city of Long 689 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 3: Beach actually took over the Queen Mary. It is beautiful, 690 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 3: bringing it back to its original glory. I went down 691 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 3: there probably ten years ago, fifteen years ago maybe for 692 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 3: New Years, and I had a blast because you're on 693 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 3: the water, there's fireworks, there's a feeling of a very 694 00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 3: almost like old school, fancy Titanic esc vibe. It just 695 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 3: feels good to dress up like that and go and 696 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 3: go down there. It took us like two and a 697 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 3: half hours to get there and back, you know, because 698 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 3: this is the time before they even had ubers. So 699 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 3: your mind, lige may vary on that as well. But 700 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 3: I remember being there so many times, and I got 701 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 3: in so much trouble doing a live shot because I 702 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 3: called the ship a boat. You cannot call a large 703 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 3: vessel a boat, and you will hear from the boat people. 704 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 3: The ship folk will come after you if you dare 705 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: to call that her Queen Mary, a ship a boat 706 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: rather and not a ship, right, Is that right? 707 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:42,479 Speaker 6: Yes? 708 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 3: And it's crazy because it's like it was one of 709 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 3: the first moments that I realized that, like, oh wow, 710 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 3: a lot of people are watching the KTLING morning news 711 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 3: because I said that, and I just was offhandedly speaking. 712 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 3: I just said, oh yeah, so dude, tell me more 713 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 3: about this a cool boat or something like that. You know, no, 714 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 3: you do not call it a boat. I think is 715 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 3: a ship, and she deserves respect. I remember before the 716 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 3: city took over, it was in some sort of disrepair. 717 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 3: It needed a lot of work. I mean, this ship 718 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 3: doesn't even go anywhere, It just sits there in the water, 719 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 3: and it still needs all this work. And I think 720 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 3: that the news headline was something like three hundred million 721 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 3: dollars in repair or something. Like that, and we were 722 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 3: doing a show, Bobby Gonzalez and I were doing a 723 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 3: show on KTLA and we were talking about that seems 724 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 3: like a lot of money, and we got into it. 725 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 3: We were like, that's crazy, that's so much money for 726 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 3: that that ship that doesn't even go anywhere. 727 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 2: ILM was called a boat. 728 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 3: And we went on for probably five or six minutes 729 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 3: talking about it, and then after the end of the 730 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 3: show we got called into our boss's office. 731 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 2: He said, you do not. 732 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 3: You should not be saying that that is a lot 733 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 3: of money, because you have no idea if that's a 734 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 3: lot of money or not to fix a boat like that. 735 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 3: And I said to him, sir, it's a ship coming 736 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 3: up in the next hour.
