1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 2: This is the Andy Reesmeier Show. We are always talking 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: about music stuff, or at least I tried to. You know, 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of the music industry and especially 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: the history of music. I think before the Internet, there 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: was a real, uh, something real special about being able 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: to make it and be big. For the computers sort 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: of came around and changed everything. And if you look back, 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: there's a couple of bands that defined music and a 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: genre of music, and very few of them actually could 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: take credit for creating an entire genre. And I think 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: The Grateful Dead is one hundred percent one of them. 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: Just this weekend, saying goodbye to Bob we Or, who 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: was the co founder of the Dead who passed away 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: at seventy eight. 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 3: He was the music icon who helped transform a jam 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: band into an American institution, embodying the sound of nineteen 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: sixties counterculture and spreading its spirit for more than half 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 3: a century. This morning, the music world is mourning the 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: loss of Bob Weir, guitarist, singer, songwriter and founding force 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: behind The Grateful Dead, at seventy eight years old. His family, 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 3: sharing in a statement late Saturday. It is with profound 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. He 24 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 3: transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones after courageously beating cancer 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues. 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: Weir was raised by adoptive parents in San Francisco and 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: started playing guitar when he was thirteen years old. In 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 3: nineteen sixty five, he joined Jerry Garcia's jug band, which 29 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: would transform into an electric group named The Warlocks, ultimately 30 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 3: renamed The Grateful Dead. With its blend of blues, folk 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: and improvisation, the Dead would reshape American rock, galvanizing one 32 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: of the most devoted fan bases in music, generations of 33 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: followers known as Deadheads, who would follow the band wherever 34 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: they went, camping out, showing up in a sea of 35 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 3: tie die, and trading their concert recordings. Weir was known 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 3: for his improvisation and served as the mastermind behind some 37 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 3: of the group's greatest classics, like playing in the band together. 38 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: The band would perform over twenty three hundred concerts, sell 39 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: over thirty five million albums, and become Hall of Fame 40 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 3: inductees up until Garcia's death in nineteen ninety five, but 41 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: even after the band ended, we Are kept performing. He 42 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: linked up with his former bandmates to create Dead in 43 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 3: Company in twenty fifteen, a modern incarnation of the rock 44 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: group that culminated in a final tour in twenty twenty 45 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: three and two residencies at the Sphere. 46 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: It's a real shock because Bob Weir was performing. I 47 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: think the last show was in August of last year 48 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: in San Francisco near hate Ashbury. And I think about 49 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: the Sphere being such a current thing, and remember people 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: go into Vegas not long ago saying you gotta go 51 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: see the dead guys to see Dead and Co at 52 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: the Sphere. And he was only diagnosed with cancer, I believe, 53 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 2: last summer. So I think it is fair to say 54 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: that this is a shock. And listen, seventy eight. I 55 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: would love it if I make it to seventy eight. 56 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: Heck yeah. But this is a guy who was still 57 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 2: very active and still felt very alive and still you know, 58 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: it's not an artist where you think, well, you know, 59 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: you've kind of been out of the spotlight for a while. 60 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: And I think that that's a big shock. Lou Parker, 61 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: who is the Dayside anchor Monday through Friday at KTLA 62 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: lewn Glenn Walker. I texted her when I heard, because 63 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: I know she's a huge Deadhead and you might not 64 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: know this, but she used to go on tour with 65 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: the band, like followed them around back in the early nineties. 66 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: And she said that of course she's bummed and part 67 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: of our innocence and fun go with him, which I 68 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: think is a really sweet sentiment and sad sort of 69 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: true thing, especially for people who grew up and lived 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: with this person who from the nineteen sixties. I mean, 71 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: you think about how much culture has changed since then, 72 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: and how many things that the Grateful Dead is inspired. 73 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: How many other artists in the jam band world fish 74 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: will coo to Billy Strings, to the National Vampire Weekend, 75 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: war on drugs, My Morning Jack. I mean, none of 76 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: these other artists John Mayer would exist in the way 77 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: that they do without that kind of influence and the 78 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: sort of like embodiment of counterculture of San Francisco, of 79 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: hippie but not in a way that I think is 80 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: like cheesy. 81 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: They returned to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park last August, 82 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 3: celebrating sixty years of The Grateful Dead in front of 83 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 3: some sixty thousand fans over three days. 84 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 4: The worst stranger. 85 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: Those would be Weir's final performances, played in his hometown. 86 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: Unknown to the rest of the world, he had begun 87 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: his cancer treatment just weeks prior, his family remembering the icon, 88 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 3: writing that he often spoke of a three hundred year legacy, 89 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: determined to ensure the songbook would endure long after him. 90 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: May that dream live on through future generations of dead Heads. 91 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: I think something really speaks to you as a as 92 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: a as a music listener when you listen to The 93 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: Grateful Dead and you listen to Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, 94 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: and that puts you in this place where music can 95 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 2: be transcendental. And I think that that's no part to 96 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: say that it doesn't have anything to do with the 97 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: psychedelic psychedelics that were associated with that era of music, 98 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: But I think that it really it is a there's 99 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 2: a unifying sense of we've left reality as we know it, 100 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: but we're all going together in a way that's gonna 101 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: be fine, and we're going to get there together in 102 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 2: a cool way. 103 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 5: A song is a living creator. If I'm a wax 104 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 5: hitting metaphysical for you. The characters in those songs are real. 105 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 5: They live in some other world and they come and 106 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 5: visit us through the musicians. 107 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 2: See they are busy. 108 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 5: And inviting those creators from other worlds to come and 109 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 5: visit our world if they want to meet us and 110 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 5: we meet them. 111 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: I've always said, I think I've probably told you this before. 112 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: I think back in the Renaissance, maybe you know, when 113 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: a lot of the are its abilities about art started, 114 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: at least in our current era, there was this idea 115 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: that the muse, creativity, productivity, whatever, was not really something 116 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: you could take credit for. It was just sort of 117 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: in the walls, and every once in a while, if 118 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: you were feeling inspired, the mews have decided to pick 119 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: you and visit you. And I feel like that's something 120 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: that is so universal to creating music for everybody, is 121 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: that that's just a thing that will just come and 122 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: get you.

That was painful? 179 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 2: It is when they put a hmm. I think you 180 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: could call it a tiny little dungeon rack on your 181 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: molars on the top of your mouth, and it's a 182 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: little bar between connecting the two with a crank hole 183 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 2: in it, and you stick a little key in there 184 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: every night and you crank the key and it expands 185 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: your palate. 186 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 7: Is that for the top? 187 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: For the top and the bottom comes along with it? 188 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 7: Was that painful? 189 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: Yes, it was horrible. I hated It started like five 190 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: years of torture that I'm definitely over. But apparently expanders 191 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 2: are more popular than ever. Well, there's one article from 192 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: the Atlantic, I think, or the Wall Street Journal or 193 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 2: the Atlantic. One of that basically was saying, look, I 194 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: went to go I have a kid. I was talking 195 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: to my kid. All my kids friends have expanders. Every 196 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: child has expander. It's the same way in the nineties 197 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: that every kid was on riddling. It seems to be 198 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: this thing that is happening for everybody. It's seven, eight, 199 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: nine years old, when kids still have baby teeth. They 200 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: stick this barbaric machine in your mouth. They cement it 201 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: to your teeth so that then you can expand your 202 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: palette if you have overcrowding. This is, I guess a 203 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: more humane idea than what they used to do in 204 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: the seventies, which was just pull all your teeth if 205 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: you had a mouth that was too small. Now the 206 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: question is why are our mouths too small and why 207 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: are our teeth too big? I don't know. Back in 208 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: the day, I guess you just had a goofy mouth. 209 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: But they stopped pulling teeth in the nineteen seventies because 210 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: there were fears about the side effects of all of 211 00:11:52,800 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: those extractions disorders of the TMJ sort, infections, absenses, etc. 212 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: Some orthodonists eventually claims that expanders have another benefit, which 213 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 2: would be to pry open your palette so then you 214 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: could breathe better and it can prevent sleep apnea. But now, 215 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: according to this article, there's a lot of debate over 216 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 2: whether any of that is true. The current president of 217 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: the American Associations of Orthodonics is a guy named Steven Siegel, 218 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: and he says that no, it's a positive thing. The 219 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: recent increase has not been that dramatic, even though it 220 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: does seem like that, and there are some abuses, but 221 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: for the most part, even though there have been criticisms 222 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: from other orthodonists that it's not necessary to put everybody 223 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: through this expanding process. He said, no, I have respect 224 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: for other people, but I don't agree that it's not needed. 225 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: And he says, I believe there's some kind of con traversy. 226 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: Then the trend probably developed from the late nineteen eighties 227 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: until the two thousands twenty twenties. But on one recent 228 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: visit to the orthodontist, this writer and her daughter found 229 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: a handful of children about her age nine or ten, 230 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 2: seated in a line of dental chairs, with technicians leaning 231 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: over of each of them to turn the screws of 232 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: their expanders, saying it was like we'd all gathered there 233 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: for some initiation right for children of the tribe that 234 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: dwells on Cobble Hill in Brooklyn, a ritual of widening. 235 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: What's odd about this, I guess, which was sort of 236 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: a shock to me, is that because there's very little 237 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 2: you know, nobody dies in orthodontia, there's not a lot 238 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: of research into whether or not these things are absolutely 239 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: as necessary as they need to be. According to this right, 240 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: I had Mapalette widened, didn't have to have any teeth 241 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: taken out. But now I have two jobs to pay 242 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: for my property tax. So who knows who knows what's 243 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: the right thing. Who knows? Let's talk about what's happening 244 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: here in southern California as far as protests go for 245 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: ice and we don't hear. 246 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 6: Anything from our vantage point, but I can tell you 247 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 6: according to reports, there were at least one thousand protests. 248 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: This was a Chris Wolf from KTLAF last. 249 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 6: Night schedule today across the country, and of course downtown 250 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 6: LA was just one of them. Take a look at 251 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 6: the scene where we are all empty and quiet here 252 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 6: right now. But earlier, around two pm, this intersection of 253 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 6: Pershing Square was covered with people, shutting down traffic. Take 254 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 6: a look at footage from Sky five this afternoon when 255 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 6: the crowd was a few thousand strong. According to witnesses 256 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 6: and participants, they marched around city Hall and federal government buildings, 257 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 6: and we might see similar activity to tomorrow on this 258 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 6: weekend of action. 259 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 11: US veterans, we are tired of watching this country go 260 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 11: to hell in a hambasket. 261 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 6: Their voices and messages loud and clear. Activists and concerned 262 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 6: citizens hit the streets of downtown Los Angeles Saturday to 263 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 6: protest what became a volatile encounter in Minneapolis Wednesday, in 264 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 6: which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed 265 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 6: a thirty seven year old mother renamed Nicole Good. Cell 266 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 6: Phone footage of the shooting from various angles has emerged 267 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 6: in the last few days. Officials with ICE and the 268 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 6: Trump administration say Good was defiant, interfering with a federal 269 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 6: government operation, and using her car as a weapon against 270 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 6: the ICE agent, pushing the accelerator instead of getting out 271 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 6: of her vehicle as instructed. The opposition insists the shooting 272 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 6: was murder, unjustified, an unforgivable act of authoritarian rule against 273 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 6: a US citizen. 274 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 10: Right now, the domestic terriff is ife with the murder 275 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 10: of Renee Good. 276 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: That was sickening, and they try to play it all all. 277 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 7: She tried to run us over. 278 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 6: What happens in Minnesota was a tragedy to say the least. 279 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 7: And we are living in fear in this country right now. 280 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 7: From George fladtil now. 281 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 10: It is hard that we have that we're still here, 282 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 10: that we haven't made much progress in bringing this country 283 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 10: forward and coming together, that it's so divided and so divisive. 284 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: So as far as today, there were a couple of 285 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: protests in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and in downtown Los Angeles, 286 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: but I believe those have been scheduled to be over. 287 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 2: There might still be some marching happening on in Beverly 288 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: Hills at least for the next half hour or so. 289 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: I am looking through the KTA emails here to see 290 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: if there's any kind of arrests or any kind of 291 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: gatherings or anything like that. We are not we are 292 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: not flying it, as they say, meaning the helicopter is 293 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: not above it currently, which I think is to say 294 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: that you know, we're not gonna be on TV at 295 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 2: least until five PM. So I would imagine if there 296 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: was something crazy going on that we would we'd probably 297 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: have something to share with you. But mostly looks to 298 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: be like probably a smaller, peaceful protest. I do think 299 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: that there's a definite difference, and even though LA the 300 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: weather isn't that different, summer protests versus winter protests, major 301 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 2: difference in terms of people who go out for that, 302 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: the length that they stay out there, especially you go 303 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: up to Minneapolis right now. Yes, there are thousands of 304 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 2: people who are still marching, but I think that it 305 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: is still so cold that it probably discourages some people 306 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 2: from going out. I will say there were some rambunctious 307 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: Bears fans last night at the Chasm in Los Angeles. 308 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: You know that's the place near Sofi Stadium where they 309 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: have the big surround or surround sound surround screen that 310 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 2: they show events and stuff like. That video shows some 311 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: very very aggressive and happy Bears fans running around wrecking shop, 312 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 2: as they say, throwing chairs, throwing their hats, getting kicked out, 313 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: very very happy, but very intoxicated. So it appears, and 314 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 2: then halfway through the video a dude runs by without 315 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: his shirt on barrel chested white guy who I swear 316 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: is Bert Kershner. I cannot not be in my mind 317 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 2: that man, of course, comedian who's always seen without his 318 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 2: shirt on Oh Man, crazy stuff. Quick break when we 319 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: come back more filming in La. How the city wants 320 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 2: to try to encourage productions to come back on this 321 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: Golden Globe Sunday plus three almost three and a half 322 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: million dollars for Bluefintuna. It was sold in La. Somebody 323 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: bought it where you can get a bite. 324 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 325 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: So as many things happen on the internet, and that 326 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: we always know with some degree of seriousness and reality, 327 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: a new thing, very real fakeness from an unexpected place. 328 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 10: Three things you should say to yourself every morning, and 329 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 10: your entire day. 330 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: Will look different. 331 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 10: My child, the first moments after you wake are not 332 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 10: ordinary moments. 333 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 4: They are a gift. 334 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: Now that sounds fake to me, but if you look 335 00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 2: at it with the video, maybe you think that that's real. 336 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: In fact, a lot of people seem to think that 337 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 2: it is real. That is a Catholic priest influencer on 338 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: Instagram whose name is let me find it. I'll try 339 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: to find it for you.

When I got turned onto this story 344 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: yesterday or the day before, he had something like twenty 345 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: thousand followers, is uploading videos of what appears to be 346 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: a gray haired priest in the middle of a Catholic church, 347 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: a Bible in front of him, even in the foreground, 348 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 2: in front of that of the Catholic missile, giving life advice, 349 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: reading scripture. The issue, of course, is that it's all fake. 350 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 9: Do know this? 351 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Majority of the comments are I'm in, 352 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 2: I'm in. I needed to hear this. I love this. 353 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: The message is important. You're so right. I've been running 354 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: around trying to get some kind of clarity on my 355 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 2: life and this helped. It's just another example of this 356 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: whole era that we're in now where even people who 357 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: are savvy media consumers maybe don't know that what they're 358 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: watching isn't real. And I think the debate on this becomes, well, 359 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: does it matter? I think it does because A you 360 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 2: don't want to be fooled regardless, and B in some 361 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: of the posts there is a link to donate, a 362 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: link to buy a book. Four letter word sc A 363 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 2: m fully one hund percent not real. And I think 364 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: that people getting taken advantage of for their faith is 365 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: one of the most horrific versions of this, And unfortunately, 366 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: I think that that is just where we are as 367 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: a people, which brings us to our robot apocalypse update. 368 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: They've come in for our jobs and they're coming for 369 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 2: our emily. There is no escape. Only robot mob Papa lives. 370 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 2: So many things happening here now in California related to AI. 371 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: As I said, AI at least has been really good 372 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: for San Francisco. The city itself has seen billions of 373 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: dollars brought back into the economy. You can definitely feel it. 374 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: Billboard's on the way to the city saying we're back baby. 375 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 2: But of course with all that spending, we still don't 376 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: know how it affects us as people. But we do 377 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: know that robotic things, smart robots are everywhere. Rich Shamiro 378 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: proves it in this year's CES. 379 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 10: This year's CES in Las Vegas features a lot of robots. 380 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,479 Speaker 1: Rich Chamuro explains in Today's Rich on Tech. 381 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 12: Here at CES twenty twenty six, I don't think I've 382 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 12: ever seen more robots under one roof in one place. 383 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 12: We've seen robots that dance, We've seen robots at full 384 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 12: laundry playing the piano, and even robots that fight. 385 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 13: Robots were everywhere at CS twenty twenty six. 386 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 2: I'm here to assist, entertain, and showcase our general purpose 387 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 2: robots skills. 388 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 13: This AGI bought recognized me just by looking at my 389 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 13: show batch. 390 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: You're Rich Demurow from the media, and that was. 391 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: From the media. It's so funny because this is exactly 392 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: what people say to me when I go out in public, you're. 393 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: Rich de Murow from the media. 394 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 2: And that was just the beginning. There were robots that dance. 395 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 13: We saw robots fighting humans, which seems concerning. 396 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 2: Uh, hedget baby. Rich Muall is one of my favorite 397 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 2: people in the world. 398 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 13: Fighting humans, which seems concerning. 399 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: Seems concerning. 400 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 13: Indeed, Booster Robotics showed off an army of robots moving 401 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 13: in perfect unison. Japanese robotic parts supplier Minibia Mitsumi demonstrated 402 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 13: how robotic arms can even double as puppeteers and real hands. 403 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 13: Robots showed precision by playing the piano. Beyond entertainment, there 404 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 13: were more practical applications like dreams stare, climbing robot vacuum. 405 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 13: Keep in mind many of these products are still concepts. 406 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 13: Dina Robotics is focusing on commercial grade robots. 407 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: They're everywhere, and they're also in the sky in the 408 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: form of writing US tickets as drones. 409 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 11: We have all been there and they really hope. But 410 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 11: this straightforward process really makes a big difference. Out on 411 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 11: our freeways. What happens is if CHP catches you going 412 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 11: triple digits, they're going to automatically send that ticket to 413 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 11: the DMB, who could decide to revoke your license. 414 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 14: Does it feel like more people are going a whole 415 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 14: lot faster on Los Angeles County freeways. 416 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 2: When the no the traffic is back, When there's no traffic, 417 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: like I would say, late at night is when you 418 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: can really see people speeding through. 419 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 14: If you said, yes, you're not alone. A new program 420 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 14: aims to fix that. 421 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 4: If you're going one hundred miles an hour, you're zipping 422 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 4: around people and stuff and cutting people off and whatnot. 423 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 2: No, that needs to be looked at. 424 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 14: So how that is the problem? Look at these stunning numbers. 425 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 14: Just last year, the CHP sided eighteen thousand drivers for 426 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 14: going over one hundred that's fifty a day, every day, 427 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 14: driving recklessly on our freeways, a number CHP says is 428 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 14: simply too high. 429 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 2: Now, California has new work zone speed cameras. They are 430 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: not drones, they are just regular old cameras. However, across 431 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: the country, including in Miami, officers are experimenting with using 432 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: drones high up in the sky to automatically write people 433 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 2: tickets for speeding. Yeah, coming up, a couple of predictions 434 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 2: for the Golden Globes as we move along here towards 435 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: the end of the show. Plus very expensive sushi, like 436 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 2: way more than sugarfish. Sugarfish is actually a great deal. 437 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 2: You know, like ten fifteen years ago, when Sugarfish first 438 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 2: came out and they had that that trust Me, it 439 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 2: was like thirty dollars, and I was like, oh my god, 440 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: I can't imagine spending that much money on food. 441 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 7: I love trust Me. 442 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 2: And now it's like the same price that it used 443 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: to be, and everything else is twice as expensive. Sugarfish 444 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 2: is a dang deal. I even do the Nasawa trust Me, 445 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 2: which I think is forty dollars, get a little bit 446 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 2: more fish. This is nothing like that. That is all 447 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 2: coming up. Plus the chargers kicking off at four pm, 448 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 2: which I guess means that we won't be able to 449 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 2: talk to our friend Chris Merrill tonight. Huh Is that right? Yeah, 450 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: that's right. I was so looking forward to shooting this 451 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 2: stuff with him, to yucking it up with my bud. 452 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: That's all right. 453 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: You're listening to kf I AM six forty on demand. 454 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: By Andy Reesmeyer. This is the Andy Reesmeyer Show. We've 455 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: got a couple of talkbacks. We want to get to 456 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 2: and I believe I believe they're calling us out Aileen. 457 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 9: Uh oh, yeah, you might want to have your young 458 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 9: news reporters do a little research. It's hate, Ashbury. 459 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 7: I knew that. Sometimes words just don't come out right 460 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 7: out of my mouth. 461 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 2: I get it. It's a weird ten. 462 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 7: Things going on at once. 463 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: It looks like Hi, yeah, it's h A I g 464 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: h T.

And Aileen, 511 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 2: I know you were saying that there's a lot of 512 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 2: there's there's a heaviness, not so much for the political aspect, 513 00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: but also just for the fact that like Hollywood is 514 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: kind of a weird spot. I understand they're trying to 515 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: get production back here and as the City Council comes 516 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 2: back in La here from holiday recess, nine motions introduced 517 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: by council member Adrian Nazarian will move through committees and 518 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 2: it will aim to streamline film production and keep film 519 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 2: and TV jobs from leave in la They're going to 520 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: reduce fees, standardize filming rules and permit requirements. 521 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 7: Tax incentives these certain police. 522 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: Right. That's in addition to the seven hundred fifty million 523 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: dollar tax incentive expansion that Governor Gavin Newsom signed into 524 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: law last year. I guess one of the major issues 525 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 2: when you're trying to film in La is because there's 526 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 2: so many different little cities within La County. You've got 527 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 2: to get approval from all of them. So if you 528 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 2: want to shoot in Burbank and then you cross over 529 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 2: into La or Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, whatever, that's 530 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: so many different departments. And even if you want to 531 00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: shoot a stupid little web show. This about ten years ago, 532 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 2: I had to go to Hollywood to the Film LA 533 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: Permit Building. I went up to the tenth floor of 534 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 2: the building and I had to pay him like eight 535 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: hundred bucks so that I could film this. I think 536 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: it was the Larry William Shatner talk Show, which was 537 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: filmed at a closed space at a restaurant where nobody 538 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: was ever going to see us, and that also paid 539 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: for a guy to come out and check it out. 540 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 2: I mean truly, it was like four cameras set up 541 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 2: with two guests and a sound guy that was it, 542 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 2: and so they want to kind of make that more streamline. 543 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 2: They hope that will help increase production, and it's important 544 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 2: that they do because even recently now, even with all 545 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 2: of the new tax incentives, shoot days in La on 546 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 2: location dropped in the second half of twenty twenty five 547 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 2: compared to twenty twenty four, which was already suffering. Production 548 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: fell thirteen percent compared to the same period from July 549 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: to September, a year early. There are also other proposals 550 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: related to film production being planned in the coming weeks. 551 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: Among them is to make non specialized city owned facilities 552 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 2: such as parking lots and yards available to productions for 553 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: a dollar a day. That's kind of cool. And they 554 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 2: also will waive a spot check fee which productions pay 555 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: for fire department compliance reviews and that kind of thing, 556 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 2: so that the fire department will come and make sure 557 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: that you're not trying to do anything crazy, which I 558 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,239 Speaker 2: guess is good. You never want that. By the way, 559 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 2: the Golden Globes tonight have a podcast category. That's the 560 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 2: first time they'll have that. The Ones nominated Armchair Expert 561 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 2: with Dak Shephard call her Daddy.

We're trying to listen to 568 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 2: it driving out on vacation on a road trip, and 569 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, listen, it's good. My brother really 570 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: loved it. It helped him a lot inspirational. Yeah.

That's totally the 573 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 7: other side of the spectrum. 574 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 2: By the way, another show, The Studio is nominated for 575 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 2: a few Golden Globes, and of course that's the satire. 576 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 2: One of the episodes of that show did a fake 577 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 2: Golden Globe ceremony in the episode of the first season 578 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 2: three awards. And finally, a five hundred and thirty five 579 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 2: pound blue fin tuna sold for three point two million 580 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 2: dollars on the fifth of January. It is all sold out. 581 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 2: You could buy a really nice Hollywood Hills home for 582 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 2: three point two million dollars.

Thirty pounds 587 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 2: of the hunk of that tuna was flown to a 588 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: chain called Sushi Zanmai, which has a location in Koreatown 589 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 2: and the Chapman Plaza.
