So we hope and we 29 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: need some good things because lots of crazy stuff's going 30 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: on in this city too. Just today down an Orange 31 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 2: County a man was arrested after trying to set a 32 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: McDonald's on fire. He said, I'll have it super fried. 33 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: Police are saying, had it not been for a couple 34 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: of good samaritans, this could have been much much worse. 35 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: This incident happened at this McDonald's. This is on Ball Road, 36 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 3: kind of just around the corner, less than a mile 37 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: away from Disneyland. On Wednesday night, they see a man 38 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: came in with a blow torching gasoline and tried to 39 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: light the McDonald's on fire. Here's a picture of the 40 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 3: suspect who was arrested fifty three year old Martin Bidillo Gonzalez. 41 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: Police say he came in a little after seven pm 42 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: on Wednesday night, yelling some obscenities and some other things. 43 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: Went to the counter, then at some point with a 44 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: two liter soda bottle full of gasolines. 45 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 2: That's the first sign that things are not This man 46 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: is not well if you're keeping gasoline in a two 47 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: liter bottle. 48 00:02:59,480 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 4: Of so. 49 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: Started spraying the gasoline around, and he had a blow 50 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: torch with him as well. They say he went to 51 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: try to light the blow torch, but thankfully two good 52 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: Samaritans intervened. One of those good samaritans is a grandfather. 53 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: He was here visiting Disneyland with his son and his 54 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 3: four year old. 55 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: So if you're familiar with this area, it's all sort 56 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: of the businesses that support Disneyland. Ball Road is one 57 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: of the major roads that is near the park. And 58 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: maybe you've heard people refer to parts of Anaheim that 59 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: are a little bit sketchy as ana crime. That is 60 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: a thing that people have said. However, this specific area 61 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: where this McDonald's is, this is not a thing that 62 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: is just like normally happening. If you would have told 63 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: me that this was going on in downtown Los Angeles 64 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: or Hollywood. Places that I love but that you know 65 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: sometimes have this kind of activity. I wouldn't be surprised. This, 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: I think is a little out there. 67 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: Grandson, they were all in the McDonald's together when this 68 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: started happening. He said, they saw what was happening. He said, 69 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: we better get out of here with them. As the 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: man of coach, he saw he was trying to light 71 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: the gas with the blow torch, and he took action along, 72 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: according to police, with another good samaritan. 73 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: That is so brave. But I guess if your grandpa 74 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: and you got your grandkids there and you're saying, it's 75 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: just it's me or this guy, and if I don't 76 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: get in the way, because I think that's a lot 77 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: of what happens nowadays, is that people witness things and 78 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: they think someone's gonna intervene and stop this, right, someone 79 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: else is gonna fix this, right. Well, I don't want 80 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 2: to get involved. But this guy said, no, I'm not 81 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: about to let this McDonald's burn down. 82 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: We talked to him a little bit ago. He's from 83 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: the Fresno area. Already back in Fresno, we talked to 84 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: him by zoom. He's a Spanish speaker, so it's translated. 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: But here's a little bit of what he says happened 86 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 3: when he tried to take that man with the gasoline 87 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: and blow torch down. So with my right hand, I 88 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: pushed the bottle of gasoline and I got on top 89 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: of him to take him out so he won't light it. 90 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 2: This is a this is a grandpa doing this. 91 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: And then I held him and he poured gasoline on 92 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 3: me and on him, and however I could, I tried 93 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 3: to hold him. He was able to spark it. But 94 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 3: thank god it didn't like the gasoline, because he would 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 3: have lit up himself, me and the whole place. It 96 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 3: all happened very quick. Thank god everything turned out well. 97 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: They had those Good Samaritans not been there, would we 98 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: be talking about here. 99 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 5: Could have been much worse. The video that I've seen, 100 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 5: the security video. There are several kids nearby at the 101 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 5: Kiosk ordering food as well. The good Samaritan had a 102 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 5: child with him, I believe, and a situation could have 103 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 5: been very, very bad. 104 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: So what was his motive? While police say they really 105 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: don't know. They say he lives in the area, but 106 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: they have no history of contacts with him. They don't 107 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: know of any criminal history he has in the Orange 108 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: County area, and they say when they arrested him, he 109 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 3: didn't say anything. But the good news is, except for 110 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 3: some injuries to that good samaritan, he said to the 111 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: guy actually when they were struggling with him, bit him 112 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: on the arm, except for those injuries. 113 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: Oh boy. I think Conway was remarking this earlier about motive. 114 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 2: A lot of times when you end up on the 115 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: news for doing something bad, especially nowadays, and it's in 116 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: la motive is like God only knows if you are 117 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: alone to the point where you show up to a 118 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: McDonald's filled with kids and other people and you got 119 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: gasoline and just trying to set gasoline on fire that 120 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: you brought in a two liter soda bottle, not. 121 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: Anyone badly hurting. Of course, nobody killed in this situation. 122 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: That could have been a lot worse. There, Chip Yost 123 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: reporting in Orange County with that story. Man, oh man, 124 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: lots still coming up here. We teased this yesterday. I 125 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: can't believe this story. And it's multi layered. You'll understand 126 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: when we actually start talking about it. Why I wanted 127 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: to bring it up. The headline is seven living room 128 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: paint colors lower middle class people adore, but others secretly 129 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 2: find questionable. What a dubious weird thing to name your article? 130 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: You might have a guess for why it's called that. 131 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 132 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: Andy Reesmeyer.

LA County going to be paying out maybe 138 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: an additional almost billion dollars to settle sex abuse lawsuits, 139 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: the county announced Friday. Past claims brought by Downtown La 140 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: log Group are actually going to have to undergo additional 141 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: review following an investigation from The La Times that uncovered 142 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: four plaintiffs who said that they were told to make 143 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: up false allegations. It's just part of a record four 144 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: billion dollars settlement covering more than eleven thousand people who 145 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: say they were abused inside County run juvenile facilities and 146 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: foster homes as children. Individual payouts in those cases will 147 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: range from one hundred thousand dollars to three million dollars, 148 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: and the payout that we're talking about here, the settlement 149 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: would break down to an average of two million dollars 150 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: per person. The lawsuits came in a flurry in twenty 151 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: twenty after California passed a law extending the statute of 152 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: limitations for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and Downtown LA 153 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: Law for their part, has denied involvement, saying that there 154 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: were recruiters who allegedly paid plaintiffs to sue the county. 155 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: The law group previously said it would never encourage or 156 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: tolerate anybody lying about being abused, and now is conducting 157 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: screenings to remove false or exaggerated claims from its caseload. 158 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: But either way, a lot of money going to be 159 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: paid out there by either the insurance or the general 160 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: fund of the county. Crazy stuff, all right, there's a 161 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: hard turn. But I tease this and there's a reason 162 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: I want to talk about this because it saw I 163 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 2: saw it, and it caught my eye and I was like, 164 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 2: what is this story? And I think it's my duty 165 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: to go through the internet every day and find stuff 166 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 2: that's interesting, but also maybe help clarify some things that 167 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: are happening. The articles from a place called vegoutmag dot com. 168 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: The title is seven living room paint colors lower middle 169 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: class people adore but others secretly find questionable?

I'm sorry, is that 181 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: unique to lower middle class people? Do rich people not 182 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: have living rooms? 183 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 4: What about gold trim on everything?

An actual publication, well, a website put this 209 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: out and then I started to think, I don't know 210 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: if this is a real article.

That's because landlords or realtors or people who 248 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: are selling their houses are using AI enhanced or generated 249 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: photos to smooth textures, clean walls and windows, make the 250 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: lawn greener and nicer, maybe even stage a house. It's everywhere. 251 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: There's one here side by side between a very nice 252 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: old craftsman home and then the actual photo of it, 253 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: it looks a heck of a lot different. They're calling 254 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: it AI yasifying yassification of homes Tetchipeti Interior. AI is 255 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: a company that's offering this, So this is something that's 256 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: happening a lot, and they say that they can instantly redesign, furnish, 257 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: reimagine any home, interior, exterior, or garden. And of course, 258 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,479 Speaker 2: just like any other platform where things are uploaded, safeguards 259 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: against AI content showing up there are pretty weak. A 260 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: lot of times you just have to check a box 261 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 2: and say, I affirm this was not made with AI, 262 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 2: or I affirm this was made with AI. It brings 263 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: me back to what we always talk about. Maybe if 264 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: they ruin social media, more people will listen to the radio. 265 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 266 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: I hope you're enjoying being a winner.

We've talked about buses, The metro 272 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: thing is tough. There's a lot of security down there now, 273 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: and also like you don't get the benefit of people 274 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: being able to see it. 275 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 4: No no, but you know, a couple nights ago, I 276 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: saw one of those robot food delivery things. Maybe I'll 277 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 4: kick one of those over. 278 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: This story about when I was at a Chargers game 279 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: at uh at a Chargers game at a bar watching 280 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: a Chargers game, very big difference. But I was on 281 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: Ventura Boulevard over in Sherman, Oak there's a new place 282 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 2: called Game Changers and it's a it was an old 283 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: Bluebird Brasserie if you ever were familiar with that area. 284 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: It's a sports bar. And there were all these Eagles 285 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: fans outside in front, okay, and they're all hanging out 286 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: waiting for tables, and the thing is packed. It is 287 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: just like you can't go anywhere, and they have assembled. 288 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: All these fans have assembled on the street waiting to 289 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: get into the bar, and there are there's one of 290 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: those cocoa robots that's stuck on delivery and it says 291 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 2: on the screen on delivery with someone's food, and these 292 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: bros just will not move, So they're standing there in 293 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: front of somebody else's food and I'm thinking, like God, 294 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: that sucks. If you were that person who had the food, 295 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: you'd be so annoyed. So like everybody else. I just 296 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: decided to say nothing, and I waited five or six, 297 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: ten minutes or whatever. I wasn't paying the attention to it. 298 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: And then another robot comes and it gets stuck behind 299 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 2: the robot that's there, and it's two people I'm thinking 300 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: of who are waiting to get their wings or whatever 301 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 2: that Coco is delivering somewhere down Ventua Boulevard. What a 302 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: bummer that is. And these guys won't move. Nobody's moving, 303 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna let these robots through. And I'm thinking maybe 304 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 2: I should say something. I don't want to say something. 305 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 2: I'm such a dork. If I do say something, maybe 306 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: they'll get mad at me. And finally, I like talk 307 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 2: to my girlfriend. I's like, I think I'm just gonna 308 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: do it just to get him out of the way 309 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: so that these things can get to where they're supposed 310 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: to go, people can eat their food. And I go 311 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: up to the guy who's standing there and it's like, hey, sorry, 312 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: excuse me. Can we all try to just move forward 313 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 2: a little bit so that the robots can go through. 314 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: And the guy turns to me and goes without missing 315 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: a beat. He says, oh, I'm sorry. Is that your food. 316 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 2: I was like, what He's like, No, I'm just thinking 317 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 2: about the person who's like, okay, boss, yeah, we'll all 318 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 2: move for the robots. But I understand there is a say, 319 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: there's a there's sort of an US versus them mentality 320 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: when it comes to this kind of thing. 321 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 4: And apparently you've picked your side. I guess, so listen, 322 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 4: I think you gotta think of all the collateral damage 323 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 4: because not only are those putting human delivery people out 324 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 4: of work, think of all the people in the porn 325 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 4: industry it's putting out of work because how many of 326 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 4: those scenarios are based on delivery people. I mean, it's 327 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 4: really it's a wide ranging thing. Maybe it's opening up 328 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 4: new opportunities ron or I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know. 329 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 4: I don't get out much. 330 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 2: But yeah, so that was my experience there at trying 331 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 2: to help a robot. That's what you get. And then 332 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: we tried to you know, I was seeing because there's 333 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: no way you can pick those up. You can't push 334 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: them over. They weigh like one thousand pounds.

But 338 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: and they went down the street. After that, finally people 339 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 2: did move, and I'm assuming that whoever was waiting for 340 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: their food finally got their food. 341 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 4: So so I think it'd be appropriate for a d 342 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: ivorless waymotor ram into them. 343 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 2: Then Oh, there you go.

Where the theater in residence. It's the 365 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 6: Mack and Feller Cultural Center in Fullerston, like you said, 366 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 6: and this fall, well this year really the Mack and 367 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 6: Faler we call it the Mock for short. It's turning 368 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 6: one hundred. The building itself. So the Mackinfeller family in 369 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 6: the nineteen twenty five built this mansion in Fullershon on 370 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 6: several acres, and then in the sixties the widow and 371 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 6: her son decided to gift the property, the mansion and 372 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 6: the acres to the city of Fullershon with the proviso 373 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 6: that it'd be dedicated to the arts for the people. 374 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 6: So we've been in residence for almost five years here 375 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 6: and knowing that this sort of centennial anniversary was coming up, 376 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 6: we wanted to transform the entire mansion, which is currently 377 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 6: usually it's an art gallery. The ground floors has been 378 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 6: an art gallery since about the nineteen eighties, but we 379 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 6: wanted to restore it to what it would have looked 380 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 6: like in the nineteen twenties when the family first lived there. 381 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 6: And we've created this immersive theatrical experience WOW running now 382 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 6: through November fifth. That's so so when you come to this, 383 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 6: I hesitate to even call it a play. It is 384 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 6: a play at the theatrical experience, but there's not so 385 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 6: much a linear plot so much as you step into 386 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 6: this mansion and it feels like it's nineteen twenty five 387 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,239 Speaker 6: and there's twenty seven actors who are each sort of 388 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 6: living whatever their life is, whatever the character's life is. 389 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 6: So we've got the muckin Fellers themselves, the family, and 390 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 6: they're sort of historical contemporaries who would have been, you know, 391 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 6: the historical people of Fullerton at the time. And then 392 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 6: we've also got this other track, which are this sort 393 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,239 Speaker 6: of these underground bootlegging operation and the investigators who are 394 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 6: trying to catch them. How fun the illicit activities. 395 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: We're talking to Cali. We're talking to Callie Johnson from 396 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: the Electric Company Theater. She is the co artistic director 397 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: with her husband Brian, of the UH the theater in 398 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 2: residence at the Muckinthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton. We're talking 399 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 2: about the cool immersive theater thing that's happening there right now. 400 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 2: I know because I've been and I've seen some shows 401 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: there at the center. We know Bobby Gonzalez from KTLA. 402 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 2: He's also in some plays there. He's in the theater company. 403 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 2: You know that building, Like you said, it's a mansion. 404 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 2: It was built in the twenties. It's kind of like 405 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: a Spanish style, you know, a California version of maybe 406 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: what you would expect like the Clue Mansion to be. Like, 407 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: is this kind of is this kind of a mystery too, 408 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: or is it just sort of a you're discovering it 409 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 2: as you go on. 410 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 6: You're definitely discovering it as you go I would say 411 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 6: that the house itself definitely is feels like a character 412 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 6: in the play. I mean, even folks who attend concerts 413 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 6: or the gallery or our shows there regularly, I think 414 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 6: they'll be seeing this building in a new light. Certainly, 415 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 6: if you've never been there before, this would be an 416 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 6: incredible way to get to experience into the historic building 417 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 6: for the first time. But it's not scary. I don't 418 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 6: personally enjoy the jumpstairs. That's not my thing. But I 419 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 6: will say it, the timing of it being close to 420 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 6: Halloween is not on accident. It is a little ghosty. 421 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 6: You know, these people who lived a hundred years ago, 422 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 6: you know, there's fog, there's cool lighting. It's very moody, 423 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 6: but we won't scare you on purpose, but promise I 424 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 6: can promise. 425 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: That I love that. So when that wraps up, do 426 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 2: you go back to sort of more traditional stage plays. 427 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 6: Yeah. So then we're in February, we're going to be 428 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 6: doing Once the Musical, and that's actually not going to 429 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 6: be at the Muck. We're going to do that at 430 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 6: a different historic building and John Toolergin called the Charleston. 431 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 6: That'll be in February, and then we do an annual 432 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 6: show for kids. So this year we're going to be 433 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 6: doing your good Man Charlie Brown. Our sort of spin 434 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 6: on that is that we're going to be casting entirely 435 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 6: actors who consider themselves senior citizens to play Charles Schultz's 436 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 6: Peanut character. How fun that's going to be coinciding with 437 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 6: a Charles Schultz Tom Everhart exhibit at the Muck, so 438 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 6: you know, the Peanuts characters will be on the wall 439 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 6: in the gallery while our play is taking place inside there. 440 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 6: And then this summer we are going to be outside 441 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 6: the mansion, sort of using the mansion of our backdrops 442 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 6: for a modern take on a classic tale of Tristan 443 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 6: and e Foltz, which is sort of like a Celtic 444 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 6: Romeo and Juliet Starcross lovers situation. 445 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: Cool. 446 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 6: And then in the fall we're going to be doing 447 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 6: The Servant of Two Masters and that's going to be 448 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 6: starring our mutual friend Bobby Gonzilla's I love that.

We were talking about 472 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 2: Taylor Swift last week or whatever that was got it 473 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: felt like a thousand years ago. It's funny. I was 474 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: talking to Nick Grigoryo about this a little bit earlier, 475 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: where you know, the Internet has created all these little, 476 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: tiny cultures, all these worlds that we can dive into, 477 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: and I think for the better. Sometimes that means that 478 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: we're on different pages about certain things, but it also 479 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: so weirdly collapsed mainstream culture too, where there's very few 480 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: things that we all agree on as far as what's 481 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: popular in music. Taylor Swift, of course very big. That 482 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: goes without saying. And here's an actual version of a 483 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: new song off the new record that's done in a 484 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 2: way that I think might be a little bit more interesting. 485 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: The Fate of Ophelia. That's the single off the new 486 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: record that's been played everywhere. But what if you made 487 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: it rock and roll? 488 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 7: Call on the lega song you want to see Me 489 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 7: as you. 490 00:26:48,560 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 2: Like your mass drown kind of interesting Matt's rock versions 491 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 2: on YouTube. What he does is he takes the lyrics, 492 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 2: the vocals, and then he replaces all of them except 493 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: for the vocals. Of course, re Records produces the drums, 494 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 2: doesn't use any AI. That's kind of neat. I'm glad 495 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 2: a lot of people have been saying that they want 496 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: a rock version of a Taylor Swift record. Does it 497 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: make it any more palatable for us dark and lonely souls? 498 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: Ron or do you like this one better? Or is 499 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: it all the same to you? 500 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 4: I don't think I'm quite the demographic for Taylor Swift. 501 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 4: I know, and I agree with you. But the weird 502 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 4: thing is, Buddy, it's just that's all music now. It's 503 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 4: inescapables what you're saying. 504 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: It's like it doesn't matter if you don't want it, 505 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: you're not in control anymore. 506 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 4: Ro I'm not against it, it's just that it's just 507 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 4: I don't think it's for me. Yeah, I think you're right. 508 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: I think I think that the even the new record. 509 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 4: I know a lot of people who like the old 510 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 4: record don't like the new record. But they're still selling 511 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 4: really well and they're all talking about it. Are they 512 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 4: taking Is she taking advantage of her fans? 513 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: Some are arguing yes, Some are saying sure, thirty eight 514 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: varieties of the album Life of a Showgirl. If you 515 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: bought all of them, it would cost you three hundred 516 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: and seventy seven dollars. Seventy seven dollars on the low end. 517 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 2: Somebody proudly said that he spent over six hundred dollars 518 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: on a whole bunch of Taylor Swift stuff related to 519 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: the release of the new record. 520 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 4: But you know, it's just a different species of nerd. 521 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 4: Look at what comic fans ton't lie or Lord of 522 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 4: the Rings fans, Yeah, you're right, or or Tony got 523 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 4: go ahead, open up your mic Tony looking. 524 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: But that's actually good stuff. Yeah, I know, I know, 525 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: I didn't want to say that, but bound like Tolkien 526 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: foot mean, come on, that'd be nice. You know, the 527 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 2: beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I 528 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: understand that. You know, there's things that I love so much, 529 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: like Back to the Future, that other people couldn't care 530 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: less about. 531 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the palpable excitement in Tony's voice talking 532 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 4: about Lord of the Rings. 533 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, you love a leather bound Tolkien. Yeah, come on, 534 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 2: it's pretty cool. Yeah. Hey, we're We're three guys talking 535 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 2: to each other at nine to fifty five at night 536 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: in separate rooms. 537 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 4: Not a woman in sight here. 538 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: I could start talking about video games. Oh yeah, right, Well, 539 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: as we get out of here, I do want to 540 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: play this. Remember I think was it last night? 541 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 4: Uh? 542 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 2: Mark, we were talking about Back to the Future and 543 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: when Stoles and McFly. When when the mcflys met each other, 544 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 2: When the Marty's met each other. 545 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 4: That's right, two universes collided, two alternate universes, So. 546 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: Apparently Michael J. Fox and Eric Stoles. Eric Stoles, of course, 547 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: was replaced by Michael J. Fox in Back to the 548 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: Future as Marty McFly. They met forty years after this 549 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: all happened, Fox wrote in his memoir The New One 550 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 2: called Future Boy. Eric has maintained his silence on the 551 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: subject for forty years, so I was prepared for the 552 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: likelihood that he'd prefer it to keep it that way. 553 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: If your answer is leave me alone, that works too. 554 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 2: But Stoltz responded with a beautifully written reply that began 555 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: with a little bit of a there's some curse words 556 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: I can't say there, but as a joke. Eric was 557 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 2: thoughtful about my outreach, and although he respectfully declined to 558 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 2: participate in the book, he seemed open to the eye 559 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: the idea of getting together. Then the two of them 560 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: met and fell into an easy dialogue about our careers, families, 561 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: and of course, their own trips throughout the space time continuum. 562 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: They quickly acknowledged neither of them had an issue with 563 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: each other. Back to the Future didn't make them enemies 564 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: or faded rival They were just two dedicated actors who 565 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 2: poured equal amounts of energy into the same role. The 566 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 2: rest had nothing to do with us. As it turned out, 567 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: we had much more in common than our spin as Marty. 568 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 2: In the months since meeting, Michael J. Fox says, Eric 569 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: and I have maintained a friendly correspondence, I guess, texting 570 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 2: back and forth like minded actors and dads, offering up 571 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 2: recent movies we've loved, the latest adventures with our kids, 572 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 2: an occasional detour into politics. Email they're emailing back and forth. 573 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 2: That is so awesome because I'm thinking we all sort 574 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: of thought that they probably weren't buds. 575 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 4: Were you expecting them to come to blows. 576 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: Well, no, not at this point. But I just think 577 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: that Eric, you know, I would understand of Eric, and 578 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 2: so did Michael J. Fox that said, if you don't 579 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 2: want to ever have anything to do with me, I 580 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: get it, man, because in every documentary, in every conversation 581 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 2: about it, replacing Eric Stoles movie becomes a giant explosion. 582 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: You know. It's not like Eric Stoles had a huge 583 00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 2: career after that. 584 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. I always wondered what happened to him because he 585 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 4: was kind of on the verge of being a thing 586 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 4: for a while. And the last thing I really remember 587 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 4: him being in there was a big deal was maybe 588 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 4: pulp fiction. 589 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair. Was it Dances with Wolves 590 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 2: that he was in with the with Marty's mom can't 591 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,239 Speaker 2: even remember? I think, so, I don't know, but there 592 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 2: you go. There you have it. Happy Friday night, Thanks 593 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: for being here.
