1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out with me. Glad to be here, always,

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: glad to be here in this space with you.

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 2: Are you hanging out on this lovely Thursday evening? What

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: time is it? It's six or seven midnight? It's seven

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: o'clock midnight. Because the time change has certainly thrown everything off.

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm used to coming in and it's still being some

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: semblance of daylight, and you come in and it's midnight,

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: dark thirty at this point, and you know, getting adjusted

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: to all of that. And they say, they, being the

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: very smart scientists who are smarter than I, who study

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: this sort of thing, that the time change actually causes

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: people to act a little wonky. It causes an increase

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: in traffic accidents. It may cause and imbalance and emotions.

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you that something really strange happened today.

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I want to blame it

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: on the time change or on the government shut down.

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: But let me tell you about what happened. First thing

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: this afternoon, once I got off of my day job

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: prior to coming here to the studio. So I go

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: home and I live in a lovely huge apartment complex,

23
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: one of these, yeah, one of these newer ones, and

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: it sits above a major department store, and that should

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: narrow it down. And I pull into the parking garage

26
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: and prepare to go home and get ready to come here.

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: But before I could even leave my car, as I sit,

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: as I sat in my spot, I looked over and

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: what should have been my neighbor's car was not there

30
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: wasn't my neighbor's car. In fact, it was a stranger car,

31
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: a stranger danger car. And of course, you know, you

32
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: don't want to be nosy, you don't want to kind

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: of stick your nose into business that doesn't concern you.

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: But I looked because I am definitely a see something,

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 2: say something person. I'm watching, and as I'm watching, accompanyed

36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: by my boyfriend, we're watching, and all of a sudden

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: you start to see the very obvious signs that there's

38
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: a little noki can we say NOOKI on the radio?

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: A little nookie happening in the car over that's not

40
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: my neighbor's car. And then we also see a flame

41
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: and a metal spoon, the combination of sorts that would

42
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: lend you lead you to believe that there was something

43
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: a little nefarious happening in this car. So of course

44
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: we watch, like the voyeurs we are, we watch, and

45
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: I actually alerted management and let them know that something

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: strange was going on, but not before watching. And as

47
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: we're watching, we definitely least saw what probably was an

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: effect of the government shut down. People don't have money,

49
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: so they cannot buy hotel rooms. And we're going to

50
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: talk about travel a little bit later. After seven point thirty.

51
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: They cannot buy hotel rooms, so they have taken to

52
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: sneaking into unfamiliar parking garages and doing their duty there

53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: in the full view of anyone who might see.

54
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: And in that.

55
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: Case it was I so just wanted to share with

56
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: you that that's how my day started.

57
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: Mark Ronner, how did your day start?

58
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: I think that's a touching holiday story to get things

59
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: kicked off you.

60
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: Now, I'm gonna send it.

61
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pitch it to Hallmark and see if they'd

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: be willing to adapt it into a.

63
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: Specialty still being published. I think they like that.

64
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 2: This is a very romantic submission. And how's your day going?

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: Well?

66
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: I stopped at Costco before work and let me just

67
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: say say, treacherous on its own not recommended. I am

68
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: developing the most violent hatred possible for people who don't

69
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: put their cards back when their car is a proximately

70
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: ten feet from the cart corral. There is no quicker

71
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: summation of what kind of human being you are than

72
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: leaving your card out and not putting it back, like, ma'am,

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: are you in labor or something? Are you in a hurry? Yle?

74
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: Is there some reason you can't do this?

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: Vile?

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: Vile?

77
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: The vestiges of humanity definitely in that sort of example.

78
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: But I'm trying to formulate a better response than just

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: glaring at them like a serial killer, because that doesn't

80
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: seem to be doing the trick. What do you do?

81
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: Do you do anything?

82
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: I try to lead by example, like today, while watching

83
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: the car next to me, you kind of look at them.

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: I try to make eye contact while this was happening.

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: And that's a very strange thing to try and make

86
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: eye contact with someone who is having NONOOKI in the

87
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: car over.

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you sit down, simple of not doing drugs and

89
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: having sex in your car.

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: Explicitly, I tried to mine with my hands for them

91
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: to stop doing all of the things they were doing.

92
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: No, Bina didn't happen.

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: They left and they ended up going to the department

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: store and they were found by security there. So it

95
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: was the talk of the town for the next ten

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: to fifteen minutes. But you know, if money was being

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: paid out, perhaps they could get a hotel room.

98
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: Were they allowed to finish?

99
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: I know, I don't think so.

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: And if so, then if that's if that's her partner,

101
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: I'll say she should definitely upgrade.

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 3: It was quick, really, it was quick.

103
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: I mean, as rude as it is to do that,

104
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 4: it's even ruder not to let somebody just, you know,

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: just wrap it all up.

106
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: I blame myself because I interrupted them, So I spoiled

107
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: a very romantic moment.

108
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: Was your face pressed up against the glass?

109
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: It was I was definitely a child and looking at

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: them and had my phone out trying to capture things

111
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: and none of that.

112
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Well that'd give me a little performance anxiety.

113
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way the day started, and the way

114
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: this show is going to start really quickly is just stories.

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: We're watching definitely tonight. The FAA, speaking of travel, is

116
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: readying that list of airports. They are preparing the public

117
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: to encounter major delays. Starting tonight and ramping up tomorrow.

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: We're going to talk more about this story after seven

119
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: point thirty.

120
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: As well.

121
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: You may have heard California Republicans are suing over Prop fifty.

122
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: They are not happy, and they are suing saying that

123
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: race was used to create an unfair voting block, and

124
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: they are hoping that that suit will undoor or overturn

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 2: Prop fifty's success. You may have heard about this as well.

126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: Mexican President shine Bomb is pressing charges against the man

127
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: who was able to grope her while she was traveling

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: by foot from one building, one city building to another.

129
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: And in this travel this man, this person.

130
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: Grabbed her, hugged her, kissed her, and then groped her breast.

131
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: A president, a sitting president, so she has pressed charges.

132
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: That's President Claudia Shinebomb of Mexico, and this is highlighting

133
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: street harassment in Mexico and women are saying she should

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: have been doing this all along, It shouldn't have just happened,

135
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: or she shouldn't be shining the light only because it

136
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 2: happened to her.

137
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: As well.

138
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Another story we're watching definitely the updates to this Kentucky

139
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: ups plane crash. Thirteen people are dead, nine are still

140
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: unaccounted for. The engine fell clean off after takeoff. They

141
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: couldn't even really clear more than about two hundred feet

142
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: before that plane unfortunately crashed down, killing everyone on board

143
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: and multiple people on the ground. Nancy Pelosi, eighty five

144
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: years old career politician, is set to retire at the

145
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: conclusion of her current term. She's not running anymore and

146
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: now there will certainly be cage fights to assume her seat,

147
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: but Nancy Pelosi is saying she is done. And finally,

148
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: between the LA Memorial Coliseum and so Far, there's been

149

Speaker 2: the war of who is going to host the closing

150
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: ceremonies of the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Well, the winner

151
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: is the LA Memorial Coliseum. They will take the closing

152
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: ceremonies in full, but opening ceremonies will still be shared

153
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: between it and so far, and will of course be

154
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: continuing with updates with that. When we come back, we

155
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: are going to certainly get into what's going on with

156
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: the FAA. I'll tell you more about the airports that

157
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: we'll be reducing flights and what you can expect going

158
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: into this next travel season. Tiffany Hobbs here filling in

160
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

161
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

162
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: Tiffany Hobbs here sitting in until ten o'clock, and we

163
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: open the show talking about the mundane and how the

164
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: mundane can be amazingly terrifically interrupted by things that are abnormal,

165
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: like catching someone in a parking garage while parked next

166
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: to you, doing the do in broad daylight, in clear

167
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: view of anyone who might be passing.

168
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: Well.

169
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: On the flip side of that's something else that's mundane

170
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: and normative, is walking your dog something I did this afternoon,

171
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: something I do every day, something you do, as dog owners,

172
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: hopefully you do because they need that and we love

173
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: our furry friends.

174
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: Of course.

175
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: Well, if you are out walking your dogs, there's a

176
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: cautionary tail ta l E and Tai l And that

177
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: cautionary tail is to make sure that you are extremely

178
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: careful and hyper vigilant when you're walking lest your dog

179
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: in just something, and that something could very well be meth.

180
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: All of this happening last Sunday when those pet owners

181
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 5: went on their daily walk and then they came back

182
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: home with their dog acting very differently after it ate

183
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 5: something it shouldn't have. And it turns out, guys, this isn't

184
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 5: even the first time something like this has happened.

185
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: Cringing up.

186
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 5: Meet a tray You a four year old German Shepherd

187
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 5: Husky mix. He's a rescue living in North Hollywood, and

188
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: on Sunday he went out for a morning walk with

189
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 5: his pet parents and came back acting out of sorts.

190
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 6: It was just like not being able to settle down.

191
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 6: He was his eyes were moving in a weird way.

192
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: Carlin and her husband rushing the dog to their veterinarian

193
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 5: who started checking his vitals.

194
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: He's hardway was.

195
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 6: Really like elevated, and he was panting a lot, and

196
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 6: like again, couldn't settle down. He had a fever one

197
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 6: hundred and three feet a free.

198
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 5: Fever, all signed showing you had toxins in his body.

199
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 5: That that giving a tray you a drug test that

200
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 5: came back positive. That ANETA means Carla's husband believes he

201
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 5: ate it in their alley.

202
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 6: It's easier for them to come back through the alley

203
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 6: of our apartment and they came and he said he

204
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 6: saw him grab something, but he couldn't tell what he

205
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 6: like ate it super fast.

206
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 4: Every few days I see a case like this.

207
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 5: Veterinarian doctor Amos says it's an issue he sees often

208
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: in La.

209
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 7: Anywhere that there might be people doing drugs. They might

210
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 7: be dropping stuff that the animals can eat.

211
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 5: And this isn't even the first time a tray you

212
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 5: has eaten something he wasn't supposed to.

213
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 6: It happened a few months ago with weed in the part.

214
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 6: That time he was the opposite. He was like very drowsy.

215
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 6: He was like trying to stand up, and then he

216
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 6: would pee on himself.

217
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: These things are.

218
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 7: Relationship with a vet is a great idea.

219
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 5: But if a dog consumes myth, doctor Amos saying, the

220
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 5: consequences could be deadly.

221
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 7: A dog could definitely die from a meth overdose. The

222
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 7: real devil is in the details of how much they

223
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 7: got into and how big the dog is.

224
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 5: Carla sharing her story so pet parents know what to

225
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 5: do if this happens to their furry friends.

226
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 6: How doesn't look when they get in contact with a

227
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,479
Speaker 6: substance like this, Because.

228
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 5: It's scary, you know. Michah Carla telling us that the

229
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 5: first time they brought a tray you home, he actually

230
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 5: ate a and it blocked his intestines. As you can imagine,

231
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 5: all of these vet visits getting very pricey. She says,

232
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: what save her and her bake account was having dog insurance.

233
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 5: So might be something you want to think about if

234
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 5: you have a furry friend of.

235
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: All, Right, Mario, can we pause for a second and

236
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: just reiterate that this pet parent, these these pet parents

237
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: said that this wasn't the first time, so that suggests

238
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: therein that they have encountered issues or situations in which

239
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: their cute little dog atray you, this husky has eaten

240
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: things that are toxic before.

241
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: To me, that is a dog parent issue.

242
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: We cannot shame poor a tray you for doing what

243
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: dogs do, and instead, I think we should be pointing

244
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: the finger, a very judgmental finger, at his pet parents

245
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 2: who keeps subjecting him to situations in which he could

246
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 2: possibly find meth and weed. And also what neighborhood are

247
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,359
Speaker 2: they in where meth and weed are just out and plentiful?

248
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 3: Poor Mark, were you going to say something?

249
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: I feel like you're The look you're giving me right

250
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: now is one that says that you understand a tray

251
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: you because I heard some symptoms that he was hungry,

252
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: he was a little drowsy. When he stood up, he

253
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, peede on himself a little bit,

254
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: and I was like, that's kind of normal.

255
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: Well, it's like when people warn of a kids getting

256
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 4: weed gummies on Halloween. That stuff's expensive. You don't just

257
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: leave it out.

258
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: No, No, something's amiss here. I don't want to put

259
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: too much blame. I don't want to suggest that these

260
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: pet parents are the culprits, but I'm also not saying

261
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: that they're not. And I think a tray you is

262
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: getting into their stash.

263
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: Huskies are a little hyper Can we say hyper? Still there?

264
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: Hyper's okay? They are certainly that. And how would you

265
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: know if a husky was on drug? In this case,

266
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: they said the opposite was happening, that he became lethargic

267
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: and lazy and slower.

268
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 4: So what a husky needs is the indica, not the sativa.

269
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 4: If you're if you're giving a husky a bag of

270
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: weed did to gulp down?

271
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: You want to give a husky a downer definitely not

272
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: up the or what they already have that hyperactivity.

273
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: But this is really scary when you think about it.

274
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: And these veterinarians are saying this one in particular, doctor

275
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: ezra Amos, that he is seeing cases like this.

276
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: Every few days.

277
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: What is going on in Los Angeles County where that

278
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: this is a common occurrence.

279
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: Every few days. Does that make it an epidemic? Do

280
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,119
Speaker 4: we have an epidemic of pet druggings?

281
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: On pet druggings? Is that that is the new thing,

282
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: that is the new epidemic? And yeah, and unfortunately, according

283
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: to this doctor, it does not show any signs of

284
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: slowing down. And so instead of saying that these that

285
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: this could end, because it won't, they're saying there are

286
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: precautions you can take to protect your pets. One is

287
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: bey very vigilant. Look around and get off your phone,

288
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: watch your pets. Make sure that if they are on

289
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: a leash, they are not picking up foreign objects. Make

290
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: sure that you stop any attempt at consuming any sort

291
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: of item from the ground. You can also use a

292
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: basket muzzle if necessary. Train your dog with leave it

293
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: and drop it commands. And I don't think they've ever

294
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: worked with huskies. Nah.

295
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: These seriously kay issuing orders to the husky well mixed results,

296
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 4: I promise.

297
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: Just you have to basically just scream at the top

298
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: of your lungs and try and invoke fear because huskies

299
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: are a breed all their own. But this is this

300
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: is scary. Watch your dogs because, like veterinarians are saying,

301
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: this is more or less an epidemic marks words, not

302
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: the veterinarians, but it is a problem, and you definitely

303
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: don't want to be on the other side of this.

304
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: When we come back, we're going to get into this

305
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: FAA situation, these flight cancelations and why you should honestly

306
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: be looking at a road trip.

307
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: Maybe for go the flying for the.

308
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: Next few weeks or foreseeable future, rent a car or

309
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: better yet, just stay home like the rest.

310
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: Of us who are broke, Stay at work.

311
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: Stay at work like the rest of us who are

312
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: broke at any rate.

313
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: Don't get on planes. We'll talk about it when we

314
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:22,280

318
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: Mario on the boards, how are you, Bud? Good music

319
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: you got playing there? What's going on You're like the

320
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: silent assassin.

321
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: What's up?

322
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, hey, it's been a while and you are

323
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: now in what week of employment? Crossed over a little

324
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: bit over too much?

325
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 8: Now you're two months. How do you feel it feels

326
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 8: It feels like four months, but in a good way,

327
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 8: you know, just because of the just the experience. You know,

328
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 8: there's a lot to do, but busy's always good for business. Yeah,

329
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 8: and no, just I don't know if I answer your question,

330
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 8: but you feel like you have your footing? Oh yeah,

331
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 8: definitely absolutely. I mean the fact that everybody's trusting me

332
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 8: now to do everything on my own, it is a

333
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 8: pretty good sign.

334
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: So far, you're doing great.

335
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 8: Thanks well, Yeah, and I hope I'm doing a good

336
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 8: job with the vibes and the music.

337
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 2: You are you are. I had to break in and

338
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: just tell you that because I just Tony. I see Tony,

339
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: but you know, you really are and you really just

340
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: fit in. So I'm gonna ask you a question and

341
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: bring you into the conversation if you don't mind. Are

342
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: you a traveler during the holiday season like Thanksgiving, Christmas?

343
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: Do you go anywhere?

344
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: Yes?

345
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 8: And no no, because I'm not personally much of a traveler. However,

346
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 8: my parents are happily retired outside of California. Ah, So

347
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 8: you know, because of that reason, here and there, depending

348
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 8: on the plans, whether we go there and by the way,

349
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 8: I mean me and my siblings, we go there or

350
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 8: they come here kind of changes every single year.

351
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: Got you, well, I will caution you that this year,

352
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: if you decide to go see your family, which I

353
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: hope you do, and I don't know where they're at

354
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: and how accessible they are by car, but you should

355
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: certainly look into traveling that way versus taking a plane.

356
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: Because the FAA has just released a preliminary list that

357
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: features forty airports across the country that will be affected

358
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: by the government shut down through cancelations, delays, and all

359
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 2: sorts of impacts because they say that they do not

360
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: have enough air traffic controller participation and that that lack

361
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: of air traffic controller participation is leading to a lot

362
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: of quote unquote strain, and they are saying that today

363
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: is the beginning of all of these impacts that's coming

364
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: from the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration's order in which

365
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 2: they will be reducing traffic at the busiest airports because

366
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: of the shutdown and you've been hearing Mark Ronner talk

367
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: about it and the KFI news room. Today is the start,

368
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 2: and there are impacts being felt all around the country.

369
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: I've been looking and scanning social media for evidence of

370
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: my own friends who are traveling. I have friends who

371
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: are traveling out of the country already. Are there friends

372
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: who are trying to travel today? I saw Chris little

373
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 2: is traveling mention. Chris posted he st Chicago. He two

374
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: hours before he made it to his next destination. There

375
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: was a two hour delay from one airport to the next.

376
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: And he's been chronicling, like many people, this situation because

377
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: it is said to be unprecedented, and how familiar are

378
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: are we now with that word unprecedented. But the FAA

379
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: says that there are nearly seven hundred hear me again,

380
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: seven hundred planned Friday flights that were cut all together

381
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: from the airline schedules. That number eclipses for eclipses today

382
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: and today was bad. You might not have felt it,

383
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: but people at airports, people traveling, they felt it, and

384
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: they're saying. The FAA is saying tomorrow will be worse

385
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: and that the totals will keep climbing. Now the forty

386
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: airports cover Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Charlotte, North Carolina, New York, Houston, Chicago, Washington,

387
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 2: and of course right here at home, La X and

388
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: not just LAX. There are other airports around California, and

389
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: I'll share those with you in a second. But the

390
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: FAA is looking to reduce service by ten percent across

391
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: these quote unquote high volume markets, and that is to

392
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: ensure that you, as a traveler, can travel safely because

393
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: air traffic controllers say that they are strained. There's one

394
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: example of air traffic control strain that kind of slipped

395
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: through the cracks. It happened last Friday, almost a week ago,

396
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 2: and it occurred when two passenger planes came within five

397
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: seconds of crashing over LA over Los Angeles. What happened

398
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: was last Friday, there were two passenger jets and they

399
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: narrowly avoided a mid air collision near LAX. And if

400
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: it weren't for the quick actions of a strained air

401
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: traffic controller who spotted this issue, we might be reporting

402
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 2: on a major catastrophe. It happened between ETA Airway flight,

403
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: an ETA Airway flight bound for Rome and an American

404
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: Airlines jet headed to JFK and they were expecting to

405
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: basically clear takeoff around the same time. In fact, within

406
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: five seconds of each other, they were turning and they

407
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: ended up almost colliding. If not for this air traffic

408
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: controller who alerted the pilots to quickly adjust their courses.

409
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 2: And again, if not, we would certainly be talking about

410
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: this extreme collision in which probably we would have no survivors.

411
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: Everyone would have perished. But these air traffic controllers are

412
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: increasingly strained. Let's get into the airports that are affected. Again,

413
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: talked about all around the country high volume markets ten

414
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: percent reduction and the list of airports obtained by the

415
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: AP includes Lax, Ontario, San Diego, San Francisco, and Oakland airports.

416
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 2: I see Long Beach Airport was able to slink on by.

417
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it's still even operational, but that might be

418
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: your course of action because again LAX Ontario, and most

419
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: people jot out there to Ontario to try and avoid Lax.

420
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: They do the same thing with Burbank, which is not

421
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: on the list.

422
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: Don't tell people about Burbank.

423
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 2: Sorry, didn't say it. San Diego is on the list,

424
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: SFO or San Francisco Airport is on the list, and

425
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: Oakland is on the list, So these five airports in

426
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: California will be greatly impacted. And they're saying, expect about

427
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty cancelations every single day. That's upward

428
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: of hundreds of thousands of flights, they're saying, or passenger

429
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: excuse me, and thousands of flights per day as this

430
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: thing continues to ramp up. And that's across the country.

431
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 4: Tithy, have you ever had to spend the night in

432
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 4: an airport?

433
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: I have, I have, and it was in Dallas Fort Worth.

434
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: You know, I want to talk to do that there,

435
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 4: or in lax or at O'Hare in Chicago. You're really

436
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: in for a special experience coming up. You know.

437
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 2: I think I would rather be back in my parking

438
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: garage looking at the people next to me making whoopee

439
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: in the.

440
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: Car over because that was freak. I mean, you got

441
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 4: to pay like six bucks for a bottle of water

442
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: in the airport.

443
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: One of the other things, speaking about the financial aspect,

444
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: of course, is if your flight's canceled, what can you do?

445
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 3: Check with your airline.

446
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: Some airlines are offering compensation, some airlines are offering refunds,

447
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: but in most cases the FAA is saying, check with

448
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: your airline and they'll let you know what your course

449
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: of action is. But one airline, specifically Frontier, says buy

450
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: backup tickets with another airline to avoid being stranded.

451
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 4: Everybody can afford that, Why not I have.

452
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: A backup ticket fund apparently, or at least I need.

453
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: We all need to start one of those. Mark Ronner.

454
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean just skim it off the top of

455
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: your page.

456
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 2: You got extra, No more avocado toast for you, instead,

457
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 2: put it in the backup flight fund.

458
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 3: Apparently.

459
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: No more meth for my dogs, No more meth for

460
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: your dogs either. What is this country coming to? When

461
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: we come back, we are going to talk about more

462
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: things that are affecting our country. In the form of

463
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: the SNAP reduction, there have been some modifications. I'll tell

464
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: you just how much you should expect if you're a

465
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: SNAP recipient and when you should expected.

466
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: Newsflash, it ain't good.

467
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: Right here, Tiffany Hobbs till ten I Am six forty

468
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio.

469
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

470
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: Tiffany Hobbs here till ten and speaking about the Great

471
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: Shutdown of twenty twenty five, of which the record has

472
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: been broken. This is the longest government shut down on record.

473
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 2: Of course, one of the questions looming in many people's

474
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: minds is what to make of the SNAP benefits cal

475
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: fresh in California specifically, and what the timeline is for

476
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: people who should expect those benefits to be dished out

477
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: and how much will they get. Now, the USDA originally

478
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: said that benefits would not go out at all for November.

479
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 3: There was no part that would go out.

480
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: There was just an absolute absence of those benefits being.

481
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: Administered.

482
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: But now the USDA has revised that decision, and that's

483
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: due to the federal court filing by two different judges

484
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: just earlier or late last week, in which those judges

485
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 2: said to release contingency funds that would allow for SNAP

486
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: benefits to be paid. That these contingency funds were set

487
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: aside for instances for emergencies just like this. So the

488
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: USDA has said that now and this is as of

489
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: yesterday evening, SNAP and rollees will receive part of their payment.

490
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: They'll receive a partial benefit in November. And this update

491
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 2: was disclosed in that new court filing. It calls for

492
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: reducing the maximum SNAP benefit not by one hundred percent,

493
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 2: but now by thirty five percent. And that's instead of

494
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: what the preliminary issuance was of a fifty percent reduction

495
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: just over the last couple of days that came out

496
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: on Monday after the court filings. Now the thirty five

497
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: percent reduction does in fact use those contingency funds, and

498
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 2: this the partial benefits this month are complying with that

499
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: court order requiring those contingency funds to be used. However,

500
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 2: when these SNAP beneficiet beneficiat what's the word beneficiaries there

501
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: we go will receive their partial benefits depends on where

502
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: they live. Therefore, not everyone is going to have their

503
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: benefits rolled out at the same time. In fact, states

504
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: are being asked to preconfigure their systems to take into

505
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 2: account the reduced payments. They're saying that their systems weren't

506
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: set up for a payment reduction. Therefore they have to

507
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: reorganize the technology, they have to reorganize the metrics, and

508
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: that could take some states weeks if not months, to

509
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: implement these contingency funds and to allow people to be

510
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: issued their SNAP benefits. In the interim, the USDA has

511
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: also informed grocery stores that they cannot offer day discounts

512
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: two SNAP recipients amid the government shut down. So just

513
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: when grocery stores, whether independent or chains, thought that perhaps

514
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: they could provide some sort of cushion, provide some sort

515
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: of support, the USDA is saying that that is a

516
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: direct SNAP violation. In fact, quote unquote, that offering discounts

517
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: or services only to SNAP paying customers is a SNAP violation.

518
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: No SNAP authorized grocer may offer discounts on eligible goods

519
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: unless they have a specific waiver allowing them to bypass

520
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: the program's equal treatment requirement. But there are some provisions

521
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: being made. Walmart is stepping up and they are selling

522
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: an affordable Thanksgiving meal for those who are budget conscious

523
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: this year. That meal consists of a price point where

524
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: it's four dollars per person and this meal will feed

525
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: ten people. It is estimated to be thirty nine dollars

526
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: and ninety two cents, So just shy of forty bucks,

527
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: you'll get a thirteen pound turkey. You'll get fried onions,

528
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: cream of mushrooms, soup stuffing, rolls, potatoes, cranberries, carrots, other vegetables, celery,

529
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: sweet potatoes, pie crust, whipped dairy topping, all sorts of goodies,

530
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: evaporated milk as well.

531
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: Did you say just cranberries, not cranberry sauce, just cranberries.

532
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: Just cranberries, a twelve ounce of fresh cranberries. You gotta

533
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: get in there and saw some yourself. Oh helpful, But

534
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: it is forty dollars. Just shy of forty dollars.

535
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: I've read all day today that they really scaled that down.

536
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: So if people thinking that they're getting a good deal,

537
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 4: there's less of it. There are fewer items any The

538
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 4: turkey is smaller than previously.

539
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: It is an Audi is trying to compete as well.

540
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: They off they're offering their Thanksgiving meal for a little

541
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: bit cheaper, they say, than what they did last year,

542
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: but it is still a little higher than Walmarts. But

543
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: these grocers are trying to trying to compete. They're trying

544
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: to offer that cushion in some way. But yeah, everyone's affected,

545
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: and grocery stores are scaling back their offerings. But all

546
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: of this because of the ambiguity of this snap program

547
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: and what people will receive and when they will receive it.

548
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: On the flip side of Thanksgiving, we have some good

549
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: news coming up. In our deeper Dive segment, we're going

550
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: to look at the accidental text that sparked a ten

551
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: year friendship, a possible Netflix movie, and a major brand sponsorship,

552
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: all because someone was invited to Thanksgiving dinner when they

553
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: weren't supposed to be in this accidental text. And we

554

Speaker 2: have the world premiere of a new Eric Lesardo bumper,

555
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,640
