00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Andy Reesemeyer. Good evening on this Friday, November fourteenth, Storm

00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: Watch twenty twenty five. You can find me on the

Speaker 2: internet at Andy KTLA, or you can find me on

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. You'll see us there. We are live everywhere.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 2: Of course, if you'd like to leave a talkback, you

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: can do that. Plus we're gonna open up the phone

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 2: lines and just a little bit and take some calls

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: here in southern California. I love hearing from people out

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: there in the world. Love hearing from everybody experiencing this

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: winter storm altogether, an atmospheric river described as epic by

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: the La Times. Maybe three inches of rain on by

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon, how about that. The heaviest, of course, expected

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: late tonight, starting around one am, going all the way

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: into ten pm on Saturday. Maybe a little break in

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: the afternoon. But evacuation order is in effect. An order

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: in a for the Palisades Burn fire area. LAPD went

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: door to door today notifying one hundred and twenty six

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: people who live there, telling them that god to pack

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: up their stuff. The evacuation of order goes into effect

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: at eight pm tonight. But they said, if you've got

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: people who need to get out, need extra time, go

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: do that now. And you heard Conway talking about it

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: too serious storm here and especially for those areas burn scars,

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: not only with Palisades Eating fire, Canyon fire, Bethany Kenneth, Sunset,

26
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: Lydia and Franklin as well. If you were impacted by

27
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: any of those, that is something you got to be

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: aware of, you got to watch for. We've been doing

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: rain serious Triple Box coverage team coverage of the rain

30
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five all day on KTLA. We've had

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: reporters out in the rain. We've had some reporters Samantha

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: Cortes was driving around and sky drive five rather we

33
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: had people flipping flipping their cars. It's been crazy out

34
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: there and it's just going to get worse. And I'll

35
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: tell you the thing that you know when it's about

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: to be different is when not only are I think

37
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: you know listen, it's rain, right, and La is a

38
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: weird place. I told you like the first weekend I

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: was ever here fifteen years ago, it was raining a

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: little bit and a stranger interrupted me in the lobby

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 2: of the building I was working at to say, hey,

42
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: it's going to rain out there, be careful. And you

43
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: know how serious rain is. When someone in Los Angeles,

44
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: a stranger will speak to you, that's how bad it

45
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: can get. But we're going to be following that Burbank.

46
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Right now where we sit here on the fourth floor

47
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: of the iHeartRadio building here in iHeart Media Building in Burbank,

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: it looks like maybe we've had a little break in

49
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: the rain. So it was it was raining pretty heavily

50
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: started right around four pm in the San Fernando Valley,

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: which is the perfect time, you know, right when Friday

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: afternoon rush hour starts. And boy oh boy, coming over

53
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: here to the station, I mean, it took me probably

54
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: thirty five minutes forty minutes to get here from Studio

55
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: City area kind of the border over there, Studio City

56
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: Valley village. So we're looking at a time period here

57
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: where the rain now has stopped for a second, but

58
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: there's still a lot of water on streets because you know,

59
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: we got terrible drainage. We don't have rain ever. And

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: what has happened is the system is a low pressure system.

61
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: It's an atmospheric river, which means it's being fed by

62
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: the jet stream that comes down around the coast and

63
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: then basically turns back north and brings all that moisture

64
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: from the ocean all the way inland, and so it

65
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: supercharges the system. And you're going to have that sort

66
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: of hovering there because now that it is storted to move,

67
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: the storm systems start to move in from the ocean

68
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: and move north. It's cut off from the jet stream,

69
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: so it's called a cut off low, which means it's

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: not being fueled by the jet stream in terms of

71
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: its travel, so it just sits. And it's really hard

72
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: to predict when you have something like that. But they're

73
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: looking at flooding more so than you've even seen right now.

74
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: A lot of flash flooding there in the in the valley,

75
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: other parts of La low lying areas near freeways, rock

76
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: slides and canyons, debris flow in the burn scar areas.

77
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna be looking at heavier rain picking up overnight

78
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: into the wee hours of the morning on Saturday, and

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: then we'll have bursts of rain on and off, probably

80
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: have a little bit of a break by the time

81
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: we get to early Saturday afternoon, a couple hours maybe

82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: even some sun, but there will be additional heavy showers

83
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: in the late afternoon. Flooding issues will come back then

84
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: as well, and that by the time we get here

85
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: to Saturday night, there will be a few light showers,

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: but by ten pm Saturday evening will probably be out

87
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: of the wor at least that is according to the

88
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: emergency management press conference that I was just watching about

89
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: an hour ago from the Los Angeles Emergency Management System

90
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: our Services rather so, you've got you've got Mary Karen Bass,

91
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 2: you've got the new la FD chief, I mean more,

92
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: you've got the LAPD chief as well. So there's a

93
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: lot of people who are saying, look, maybe you were

94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: an unhappy with the way that it went down the

95
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: last time we had a major emergency here in the

96
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: in the January fire era, right, we had a lot

97
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: of disappointment around that. I think that's an understatement. Uh,

98
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: it was tragic, it was destructive, and I think now

99
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: anytime that there's even a risk of something high, high

100
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: danger weather related thing, it's going to be we're gonna

101
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna bring out the big guns. As they say,

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: they did say many Angelinas are not going to experience floods,

103
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: but the character of the weather system, like I said,

104
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: a cut off low means it's hard to predict how

105
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: long it will stay in one place and how much

106
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: water will actually end up coming out of there. There's

107
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: even a risk for a small tornado, so it's kind

108
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: of wild. But that flood wash will be going will

109
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: be going into effect overnight until ten pm Saturday, And

110
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: like I said, evacuation order, not a warning. An order

111
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: is in effect at eight pm for the Palisades, So

112
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: lots to be aware of, lots to pay attention to.

113
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: Want to go over to Annie Rose Ramos, who was

114
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: in Van Nuy's not long ago, to just sort of

115
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: give you an update on what the roads are looking

116
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: like right now.

117
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: And the storm is also threatening resident's living near the

118
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: Eton Fire burn scar. The community has already set up

119
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: sandbags and k rails at this hour, no mud, no debris,

120
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: but that could change with the most significant bount of

121
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: rain expected in the hours ahead. Coming up on the

122
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: news at six point thirty, Sarah Welch will join us

123
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: live from Sierra Madre and that area hard hit by

124
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: mud flows earlier this year.

125
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: The rain and slick roads are already impacting travel with

126
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: spinouts and rollovers. However, the worst is yet to come.

127
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: Downtown Los Angeles could see its wettest November.

128
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: Sure, you're scaring me per.

129
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: Since nineteen eighty five. In the next forty eight hours.

130
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: City leaders spoke a shot.

131
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Isn't that insane? We're talking a month of rain in

132
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: the matter of hours, Mark RONNERD. Do you think we're

133
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: overdoing it?

134
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: No? Not After the white knuckle death ride I had

135
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: on the way into work, Yeah, was it tough. I

136
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: think I had what on coast to coast they would

137
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: call an NDE near death experience.

138
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: Did you see yourself hovering above your I'm assuming range drover.

139
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 5: I was hovering above my car, and I saw myself

140
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: giving the finger to the guy who almost hit me.

141
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: It was very spooky.

142
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: It was really It's really crazy.

143
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: It's bad out there and people. You and I both

144
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 5: moved here from other places. I lived in Seattle before

145
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 5: I moved here in twenty eighteen, and the driving is

146
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: different in the rain in Seattle, in the people know

147
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 5: how to do it. Yeah, yeah, Here people don't seem

148
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: to modulate their driving during the potentially lethal wet conditions.

149
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: And I will say I agree with you, but I

150
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: also think that the opportunity that you have to learn

151
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: how to drive in the rain in southern California is

152
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: very slim. Seattle, what you have like one hundred and

153
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: fifty days of rain, maybe more so, people driving in

154
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: rain all the time there. Even in Indiana you got

155
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: a lot of rain, you got a lot of weather.

156
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: People know how to drive, they figure it out. But here,

157
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: you know, there's very little, very little driving in the rain.

158
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 5: I would call the rain driving in La Cavalier. How

159
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: does that sound.

160
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: I love that. Well, I'll tell you what. We'll get

161
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: to any Rosen a little bit later. We've got more

162
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: coming up in the next block about this this storm system,

163
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: including some specifics about the risk of a tornado, and

164
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: later I think we'll talk to KTLA meteorologist Via Jimenez.

165
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: But a big stacked show. We are monitoring the weather,

166
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: we're checking it all out. That's very important, I understand,

167
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: especially right now there's a lull, So maybe batten down

168
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: the hatches, bring in your patio furniture if you need to.

169
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: But we'll keep you posted here.

170
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

171
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: The truly Worst Christmas song of all time. It's called

172
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: Christmas Shoes by New Song. And that's not me saying

173
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: that I don't want you to think that I have

174
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: some kind of axe to grind against news song. It's

175
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: from a movie called Christmas Shoes, and it's about, as

176
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: you heard, a kid asking a stranger to buy a

177
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: pair of shoes for his mom because she's sick and

178
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: probably will pass away on Christmas Eve. There's no way

179
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: you cannot be traumatized by the subject matter. I'm a

180
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: little tired. I'mna be honest with you.

181
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 5: I'm here for you.

182
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: This morning, I woke up at round number four thirty

183
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: because I had to go into work at KTLA, where

184
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: we covered all morning cost one three point five's flipping

185
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: of the switch. So Melvin was here, Melvin from KTL

186
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: it was here with len K and they did the

187
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: whole the honors at eight am where Coast one of

188
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: three point five switched over to Christmas music. So I

189
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: was in studio tossing to Melvin and I was like, Wow,

190
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: it's so weird that I'm here at KTLA, or I

191
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: was there rather and looking at Melvin, who is here

192
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: in the building. I'm at right now, thinking like, whoa,

193
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to be there in twelve hours. So I

194
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: did the show, got off at around eleven, went home,

195
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: had a little snack, prepped for this show. Then I

196
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 2: took a nap, and then I set my alarm again

197
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: to wake up at four thirty PM. So I have

198
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: woken up twice today at four point thirty, which is

199
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: all kinds of discombobulating. But I'll tell you what, sleeping

200
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: in the rain nothing better. You never have better sleep

201
00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: like when it's raining. I ordered a little fireplace, like

202
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: one of those fake fireplaces, those logs that like glow

203
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: and it's so cheesy.

204
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: Oh no, those are good though.

205
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah it's great because I don't I mean, I the

206
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: house that I'm in, I can't the you know, the

207
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: chimney doesn't work, I guess or something.

208
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: I feel like you have to mount one of those

209
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 5: singing bass things about.

210
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, big mouth billy bass.

211
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly.

212
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 2: Don't be happy, man. That was really that really united

213
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: grandparents and grandkids everywhere in the late nineties, didn't it.

214
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 5: Maybe we could take up a collection to get you

215
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 5: one of those for Christmas.

216
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: I think that they should bring that back with like

217
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: put AI in it.

218
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 5: You know, AI ruins everything. Come on, man, Yeah, I.

219
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: Mean, you're right, But I think that the the novelty

220
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: of it being like.

221
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 5: I don't want a conversation with the bass.

222
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 2: Hey, big mouth billy. What's the weather like? You know

223
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: it'll go that's funny, Andy, I was just thinking about

224
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: the weather. It's gonna be nice today. Yeah, it's weird.

225
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: But one of the things that I was thinking about is,

226
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: you know, Christmas music. You start hearing the next forty

227
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: five days or so, the airwaves will be dominated by

228
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: Christmas music. You like that, right? And there's every once

229
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: in a while viral videos will come out and we'll

230
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: try to claim what makes a song Christmas y? Obviously

231
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: the subject matter should be about Christmas. Well, what is

232
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: that sound? And so a couple people have broken this

233
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: down to a specific sort of I guess formula and

234
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: a couple places have tried this, But essentially what it

235
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: comes down to is sleigh bells minor seventh chords for

236
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: any music theory people out there, choir sounds and tubular bells,

237
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: any bells, any bells basically make it sound like Christmas.

238
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: They also have this sort of thing with the classic

239
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: Christmas music where it's like nostalgia dark to light and

240
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: tone and lyrics. Tin pan Alley era music is really

241
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: when a lot of the classic Christmas songs came around,

242
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: which really does this whole thing of like, oh, we're happy,

243
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: but all so we're sort of sad. If you think

244
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: about remember oh Christmas Tree, or have yourself a merry

245
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: little Christmas. The original lyrics are have yourself a merry

246
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: little Christmas. It may be your last. It's kind of dark,

247
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: isn't it wild? Like we just were kind of metal

248
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: Back in the early part of the twentieth century, we

249
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: had a sense of you know, people didn't live that long.

250
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: You know, you were not guaranteed much. You had world wars,

251
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: you had two world wars by the time you were

252
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: halfway through the century, a depression, they created the suburbs

253
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: for some people. That was great for other people. I

254
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: don't know, but been thinking a lot about Christmas music

255
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: and Christmas songs, and I think it was really fun

256
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: to see that happen today. And if it does feel

257
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: like an iconic moment where you know, all of a sudden,

258
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: the switch is flipped and then Los Angeles is blanketed

259
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: with Christmas music. We've got the all deck Home Gold

260
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: label Christmas Tree here in the studio. Mister Anner, have

261
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: you been here and seen this?

262
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 5: I haven't come into that.

263
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: You can see on the on the monitor in front

264
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: of you those it's.

265
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: Very festiv it is. If I move up and down

266
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 5: real fast, it's gonna give me a Grand Mall seizure.

267
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 5: I mean the light and effects are overwhelmingly gorgeous. This

268
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: thing is probably, I don't know, eight feet tall. It

269
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 5: is trimmed.

270
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: If you could, if you could deck the halls, this

271
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: is what decking the halls would look like. We've got

272
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: gold ornaments, we've got red ornaments, we've got silver ornaments.

273
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: There's garland. The lights are green and blue and they're LEDs,

274
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: but they don't look cheap and creepy. I swear Christmas

275
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: was ruined when we went from incandescent. I know they're safer,

276
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: I know they use less power. I know they last longer,

277
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: I guess. But when we started putting those bright blue

278
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: LEDs up, swapped them out for the old incandescent balls,

279
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: I hate. That doesn't feel like Christmas. But this, though,

280
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: is like the Macy's Day Parade of Christmas trees.

281
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 5: It's the platonic ideal of Christmas trees.

282
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: I mean it, really, I just can't stop staring at it.

283
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: I feel like it's like the monolith. It's gonna suck

284
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: me in. I'm gonna come out of there and I'm

285
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: gonna be wearing a full elf costume.

286
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Are you a.

287
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: Christmas song fan or do you have any favorite Christmas songs?

288
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 5: I'm partial to songs about bearded, obese elderly men.

289
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: You know, so you're a Michael McDonald guy. So you're

290
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: a fan of yacht rock. The actually Michael looks great

291
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: these days. Well, of course I don't. We will tolerate

292
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: no harsh words, but I love I love Michael McDonald,

293
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: who is a jolly old elf himself for sure.

294
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I gotta. I think I have a Dean Martin

295
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 5: Christmas album, and that's hard to beat.

296
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: The classics are really hard to beat, and I know

297
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: that everybody loves like all I went for Christmas is

298
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: You and the New the Kelly Clarkson song. People. I

299
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: can't get on board with modern Christmas music.

300
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 5: Okay, you know what the all time best Christmas album is.

301
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 5: It's the James Brown one. Santa Claus Comes straight to

302
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 5: the Ghetto. Well, I said that like Elvis you did,

303
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: but it was very melodic. Maybe we'll listen to that.

304
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 5: What is it called Santa Claus Comes straight to the Ghetto. Yeah,

305
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 5: James Brown, Okay, I'm gonna pull this up.

306
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I know you gotta do the news,

307
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna hand it over to you. When we

308
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: come back, We're going to listen to some lesser known

309
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: Christmas songs. I kind of like this. Oh, you're gonna

310
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,920

312
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,200

316
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: fifties when they didn't say bad words. Okay, they didn't

317
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: record improprieties. Mark Ronner, you want to be careful, better

318
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: safe than sorry. Yeah, when you talk about New Jersey

322
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't know you're listening to KFI AM six forty

323
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: on demand.

324
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: If you want Christmas music, do you want a classic

325
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: or do you want something off the wall and weird?

326
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: And I said, surprise me, and that, sir, was a surprise.

327
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: What was that? Oh it's the Vandals And what's this

328
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: song called OI to the World? To the World. Odell

329
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: did a cover of it as well. Oh great, but

330
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: we love that. Gwen Stefani was uh on hand here

331
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: to do the flipping of the switch. How about that?

332
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: Big time, big time at iHeart Today. Then Melvin was

333
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 2: popping around elsewhere and visited the Woody Show. They gave

334
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: me a shout out. That was pretty nice. They said

335
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: that they like my hair. That's nice. Then they saw

336
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: Valentine from MYFM saw Big Boy. What a morning it was?

337
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: You know who? They didn't go see KFI AM six forty.

338
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: I know I was gonna tell Melvin. I said, you know,

339
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 2: if you want, I'll tell you where the snack drawer

340
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: is if you get hungry.

341
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 5: Don't spread that around well people A people are plundering

342
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 5: it already.

343
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: He didn't take me up on the offer, so I

344
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: don't think it's a big deal. But I was really

345
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: surprised though, and I said, go try to find KFI

346
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: and he's like, I don't even think KFI in this building.

347
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: I was like, no, it's there.

348
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 5: I was no.

349
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: You go go in the basement and there's like a

350
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: storage closet, and then behind the storage closet that's where

351
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: you there's a troll. It's not Ryan Seacrest. Just say

352
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 2: it's it's just somebody just kidding.

353
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: I am.

354
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: I'm very very It was a really cool moment of

355
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: gratitude to sort of look at it and say like, oh,

356
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: that's so cool. I get to be a part of

357
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 2: this in just a little bit way, you know, just

358
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: a tiny little way, all right, asking you shall receive,

359
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: mister Ronner, I just got to tell you that the

360
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 2: vibe immediately Christmas song or not, it's just you can't

361
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: not move. When he starts singing. You feel like your

362
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: whole body just is electrified.

363
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 5: Any Christmas song is immediately rendered better with an.

364
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: Uh oh, Well, he say, what does he do?

365
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 5: Leave something funny for Johnny, leave something leave something pretty

366
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 5: for Donnie? Oh pretty for Donnie? What does he know

367
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 5: about Donnie?

368
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going near that. I could also be

369
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: Gary Indiana. Don't forget about Gary, Indiana. They need Sanna

370
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: a reference perhaps to the great city in northwest Indiana.

371
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: That's not a bad Christmas song at all, not at all.

372
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: That is a fantastic Christmas song. And I don't hear

373
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: that a lot.

374
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: Is it controversial perhaps to say ghetto at this point,

375
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 5: I don't know he's saying it though, Yeah, James Brown,

376
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 5: he's wrong, and he's not saying.

377
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: It in a in a derogatory way. I don't think

378
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: he's saying like, hey, like there's there's kids who don't

379
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: have presents Santa, go give them to him.

380
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 5: I will not second guess James. Yeah, I think if.

381
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: We can't enjoy what is obviously meant to be, intention

382
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: is important. You know, how you say a thing matters,

383
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: and the way you say, the reason you're saying it.

384
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: If you are saying it celebratorily like that, I think

385
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: he's great.

386
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 5: I think it's great.

387
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: Here is Dominic the Donkey by lou Monty. So this

388
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: is a very popular song on the East Coast or

389
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't know very popular is fair? But it is

390
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: heard I guess on the East Coast more than it

391
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: is heard here. But it's the story of Dominic the

392
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: Christmas Donkey, the Italian Christmas Donkey. So if you caught that.

393
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: The background story here is that Santa's reindeer can't get

394
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: over the Italian hills, and Santa has Paison and he's

395
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: got Baizon. He's got to visit give presents to Santa

396
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: wants to enjoy some of the gabba ghoul. That's right,

397
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: just a little gobba ghul for you here. So he

398
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: has to rely on Dominic doo M I N I

399
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 2: c k to bring the Christmas presence to the children

400
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: in Italy because the mountainous terrain is too much for

401
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: the reindeer, and.

402
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 5: If you step out of line with Santa, Dominic might

403
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 5: cut you.

404
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 2: That's right. You never hear him kick, which to me

405
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: seems like you don't know Dominic Gatia until it's too late.

406
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, look out.

407
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: So Dominic the Christmas the Christmas Donkey, apparently, and this

408
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: now ruins it for me. Jason Kelsey says that this

409
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: is his favorite Christmas song. Okay, all right, well, very

410
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: fun ruined. My fun can't have anything nice anymore. With

411
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 2: that relating somehow back to Taylor Swift, you might as

412
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: well just accept it. I might as well accepted. December

413
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty is when that song came out. The B

00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: Loha Friday.

468
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 6: It's two ten ees found in the sun went On area.

469
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 6: It is moderate.

470
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: Flood's a lot there.

471
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 6: Say that again.

472
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 2: It floods a lot there in Sunland, the sun Valley.

473
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: That on the surface streets at least.

474
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, so you definitely want to heads up. I

475
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 6: had a little party this evening at my work, and

476
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 6: easily half the people had to call back and say

477
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 6: they weren't going to make it. They they were concerned

478
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 6: about the rain.

479
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: Now are you going to the office? Were you going

480
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 2: home from?

481
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: No?

482
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 6: No, I'm going home. But it was actually a work

483
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 6: related party promoting one of my what I sell. I

484
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 6: sell perfume, and a lot of people were excited. Yeah,

485
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 6: a beautiful niche parfum from Italy, and a lot of

486
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 6: people didn't show up. So we had, of course a

487
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 6: goal that we wanted to hit, and we were lucky.

488
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: We got half so great.

489
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 6: I'm grateful, but it could have been a little better.

490
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 6: I think the rain definitely had an effect.

491
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: How is the how are the roads there? And are

492
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 2: you going east or west or are you northbound? I

493
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 2: know it's kind of big jogs that way over there

494
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: a little bit.

495
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 6: Indeed, I just got off to jen at Sunland and

496
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 6: now the rain is definitely lightened up and traffic is

497
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 6: very light on Foothill Boulevard. So I think the media

498
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 6: has a lot to do with hyping out the rain,

499
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 6: kind of intimidating people and making people say, you know what,

500
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna stay home in my cozy little cabin.

501
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: I think you're right. And I struggle with this a

502
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 2: lot because as a member of the media, as one

503
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: of the public enemy number one, I kind of agree

504
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: with you and I think, you know, at the same time.

505
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: I also understand that if people don't have a lot

506
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: of experience dealing with the rain here, maybe it is

507
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: better to just stay home. And again, I don't know

508
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: what it's going to be like tomorrow. It seems like

509
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 2: the brunt of it, the worst of it, will be tomorrow.

510
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: And in this small amount of time that I drove

511
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: from my house to the station, I think it was

512
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: kind of the thick of the precipitation, at least that

513
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: we've seen today. It was pretty dangerous and there was

514
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: a lot of flash flooding, and there's a lot of

515
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: people who just like don't know what they're doing, you know.

516
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: And I think that if it's not you know, I

517
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: don't I'm hoping that we don't have any mudslide situations.

518
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 2: Do we have the conditions that could make that happen. Maybe,

519
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: But I know it's tough because and you're right, like

520
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: sometimes we do cry wolf. And I think that it's

521
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 2: the scary thing is that when it really matters, you know,

522
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 2: you want people to pay attention. But if you think

523
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: people are staying home, hey, not a bad thing to do,

524
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: you know. Friday night, Like I told you, I got

525
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 2: a new little uh little portable fireplace, a fake fireplace.

526
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm about to go home and just well, I appreciate
