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

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Reesmayer. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: Good evening to you out there in southern California. Hello

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: all you Angelinos. I'm Andy Resmy. Like I said, you

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: can find me on the Internet at Andy KTLA. That's

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: on Twitter formerly Twitter rather ex Instagram, also pretty much

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: anywhere that the Internet is sold, I can be reached there.

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: We're gonna open up the phone lines in a little bit.

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: We'll take some of your calls later in the show.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: We got lots to talk about here leading into the

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: seven o'clock show. Obviously, it looks like the shutdown is over,

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: or at least it's on its way to being over.

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: There is a deal in the Senate. We'll talk about

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: what happens next. Plus check this out. Imagine you're at

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: your hotel and all of a sudden you get a

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: little text message, sorry, hotels out of business, it's closing.

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: Got to get out that night, and it was an

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: extended stay, long term stay situation.

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: That is a bummer.

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: And we've got a new scam to tell you about.

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: This happened to me. I didn't fall for it, but

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: I was approached in this year San Fernando Valley by

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: a scam. That's an age old scam, but it's been

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: updated for the twenty first century. And like I said,

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: that government shutdown seems to be winding its way at

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: least through the House. As a next step, maybe be

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 2: opening that government just in time for holiday travel, getting

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: people back to work. Restaurants in LA though still stepping

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: up to help people who might have been impacted by

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: snap benefit cut back to CalFresh, you know food stamps.

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Calabama. Her name is Kara.

32
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: She runs a restaurant Calabama.

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: They went.

34
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: They got real famous in the pandemic because she was

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: making breakfast sandwich was out of her apartment over there

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: in Hollywood, and she was dropping them down in order

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: to say, you know, social distance from people dropping the

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: sandwiches down with a bucket and a pulley lever over

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: her balcony. It's cool stuff, but what was even better

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: was her food delicious. And the bucket drop is over.

41
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: But now she's got a brick and mortar. She's celebrating

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: a year of a brick and mortar. We'll talk to

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: her in just a little bit on the ones and

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: twos though, with Sam good evening.

45
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 4: Sir, good evening, Andy, how you doing, And of course

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 4: mister Mark Ronner. Now I want a sandwich man, a

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 4: bucket sandwich, a bucket sandwich, you know what. And it's

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: just got like everything that you want on a breakfast sandwich.

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 3: Right.

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: You've got the bacon in the egg cooked perfectly, little cheese.

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: There's a hot sauce situation happening there.

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 5: I also like the whole Gilligan's Island aesthetic of lowering

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: food on a bucket, I.

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: Know, and especially in East Hollywood, which was quite a scene.

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: You know, it was like a block in for the

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: one to one freeway and this whole building. You'd walk

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: up and you'd be like, what is going on here?

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: And then you'd show up at your allotted time and

59
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: then she'd drop the bucket down like Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: down your breakfast sandwich.

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: That seems like a very satisfying way to procure food.

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: That was awesome. I got to cover it while it

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: was going on. I met her during some of the

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: you know, when she was working on she was actually

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: doing it, and it was real fun. I had a blast.

66
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: So it was really really exciting. I'm excited to see

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: how her continue to.

68
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: Do so well. So very cool.

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: By the way, that government shut down, here's the background.

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: There was a lot of disagreement over Affordable Care Act subsidies.

71
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,279
Speaker 2: Might have remembered that as Obamacare, Democrats wanted to extend subsidies,

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: Republicans didn't. That was the whole hang up. That's why

73
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: we shut down the government. That's why I dragged on forever.

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: And of course what was going to happen and was

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: always going to happen. This is how the government shutdown

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: was always going to end. That's what the Atlantic says.

77
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: And they say that because back when Republicans were trying

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: to pressure then President Barack Obama to defund his healthcare

79
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: law when they shut down the government at twenty thirteen,

80
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: that didn't go anywhere. President Trump back in twenty nineteen

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: wanted to shut down the government, failed to persuade Senate

82
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: Democrats to authorize his border wall. Government got reopened. Of course,

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: they built the wall anyway. But over the past few weeks,

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: and we talked about this yesterday on the show, a

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: small group of Democrats in the Senate, but enough of

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: them abandoned the hope that Republicans would extend those subsidies

87
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: for the Affordable Care Acts. The most visible one is

88
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: Tim Kane of Virginia, who I saw on TV today

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: and for a minute I had to double take because

90
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: I was like, is that Tim Walls? No, TI remember

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: Tim Kane. He was on the ticket with Hillary Clinton

92
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: back in twenty sixteen. He says, I came to the

93
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: conclusion Republicans were not going to cave on the red

94
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: line of extending subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. It

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: was just not going to happen. So he folded a

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: couple of other Democrat senators, including I'll find it later.

97
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: I'll tell you later. That's good reporting, was.

98
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: Another one of them.

99
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: Yes, but then I think, shaheen, that's who I was

100
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: looking for. So they folded, and they just, you know,

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: really to the ire or at least uh much the

102
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: chagrin I guess you could say of all of the

103
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: other Democrats who are pretty upset because they thought that

104
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: they had some momentum following the election, which many of

105
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: them viewed as a referendum of the Trump administration policies.

106
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: And of course, as I said, yesterday, A shutdown, a

107
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: big political situation where there's a lot of visible victims.

108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: I use that word sort of not loaded, but saying that,

109
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: you know, there were people who were losing their food

110
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: stamp benefits, right, there were people who were stranded at airports.

111
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: And when when those people become the victim of a

112
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: political football a little back and forth moving the goalpost,

113
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: other sports analogies. You can make that point yourself. Whence

114
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: that happens? Whoever the power, the party in power is

115
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: the one who gets blamed. And it did start to

116
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: affect the polling numbers for the Republicans. But inside the

117
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: West wing, Trump's aides have greeted the end of the

118
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: shutdown as evidence that the White Houses take no prisoner's

119
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: approach to the crisis worked. It took longer than they

120
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: had expected. But Democrats, as they thought, were always going

121
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: to cave, and of course they did cave in the Senate.

122
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: Now the vote goes to the House. When will we

123
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 2: get an answer about what happened? I texted my source

124
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, will you pop on and will

125
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: you talk to me about this? And he goes, I

126
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: am already two bottles of wine deep that's all. I said, Hey, buddy,

127
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: come on, so but I'll tell you this much. My

128
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: mom was here in town and she flew home this morning.

129
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: I dropped her off at Los Angeles International Airport this

130
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: morning at seven am.

131
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: I got up at.

132
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: Six am, hopped in the car, picked her up at

133
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: her hotel, drove her all the way down to lax.

134
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: It was a nightmare packed, just craziness all around. I

135
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: mean it was controlled chaos, but it was just busy.

136
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: It was very, very busy, and she was about an

137
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: hour and a half delayed getting out, but landed in Indianapolis,

138
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: no issues there. So very thankful that. Not that I

139
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: wouldn't want my mom to stay for like another week, obviously,

140
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: don't not want that, but happy that she got home.

141
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: And it's funny because I saw Conway yesterday and we

142
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: were at the end of my show walking out. Conway

143
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: was here. You know, Conway can't stay away. He's got

144
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: to come in even on the weekends, just to check

145
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: and make sure everything is whole, going smoothly. And he said,

146
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: don't listen to all those stories that Andy's doing about

147
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: telling my mom. Don't listen to those stories that Andy's

148
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: doing about the government shutdowns. You're going to be fine tomorrow,

149
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: and she was, Now, when the government will be reopened?

150
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, but of course if you were following

151
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: any of the news, the President reached out to uh,

152
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: specifically to air traffic controllers, to express his distaste with them,

153
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: phoning calling in rather during this time, Ronerd, what are

154
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 2: you thinking about a timeline for reopening?

155
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: Oh? Geez, I could go any which way.

156
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 5: And I mean, the obvious stark terror is people having

157
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: their healthcare premiums double, triple, quadruple. Have you seen some

158
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 5: of those numbers?

159
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Oh, you're talking about as far as the Affordable CARET subsidies, Yeah, yeah.

160
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it seems unlikely that Republicans will vote

161
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 5: to extend those. And just from a purely analytical, nonpartisan

162
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 5: point of view, it seems like Democrats gave up something

163
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 5: for nothing in this deal.

164
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: It is interesting.

165
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: I was looking for this list the eight lawmakers, the

166
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: Democrat senators who who basically folded Senator Dick Durbin, Maggie Hassan,

167
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: Tim Kaine, Shaheen, who else? Catherine Cortez Masto, John Fetterman,

168
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: Jackie Rosen, Angus Keene King excuse me.

169
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Angus King's the independent, right he caucuses with the Dems.

170
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: Right, Well, he did.

171
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

172
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: Do you think that now like those guys like won't

173
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: be able to sit at the lunch table at the

174
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 2: Senate anymore.

175
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 5: I think there is some serious macrimony in the party

176
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 5: over this, and and we're gonna be hearing about it.

177
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: You can.

178
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: You can bet on it, sir. We've got lots more

179
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: coming up.

180
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

181
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: Bye, man, Andy Reesmire, thanks for being with us this

182
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: evening up. You're doing well out there.

183
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: Man.

184
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: Did you see that car chase earlier today?

185
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: That was the dream she did it? Did somebody actually

186
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: got away? She got away?

187
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: No, she got away all the way to Mexico.

188
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 5: I feel bad rooting for her, but oh still, it's

189
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: it's rare when that happens, because I don't know if

190
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 5: you've noticed this, but they tend not to think through

191
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 5: these chases very well when they're initiated.

192
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: You mean that the people who are who are running.

193
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, did it like end like she finished? Like?

194
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: You know, they had a finish line.

195
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 2: To the border. Well, the helicopter had to turn around. Wow,

196
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: because they didn't have enough fuel to go all the

197
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: way to Mexico. Go figure, But we were watching. The

198
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: chase started somewhere in the Sat Fernanda Valley. Women was

199
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: near a silver living facility and it was having obviously

200
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: some kind of mental health crisis. Took a minivan which

201
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: belonged to her mother, hopped on the freeway, and then

202
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: in about three hours, made it all the way from

203
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: basically the northern part of the San Fernando Valley all

204
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: the way down to Tijuana.

205
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 6: Listen with live breaking news any wild pursuit from the

206
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 6: San Fernando Valley to Mexico. You may have watched it

207
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 6: right here on Eyewitness News at eleven am.

208
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Well, obviously we all watched it on KTLA Channel five.

209
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: I don't know who these these jokers, and I was

210
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: talking about KPC SEP.

211
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 6: We picked up the chase and the suppolvent of pass

212
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 6: around eleven twenty, Scott Rife overhead.

213
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: We were overhead earlier. I just want to say Katla

214
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: had it before ABC.

215
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 6: We picked up the chase and the suppolvent of pass

216
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 6: around eleven twenty. Scott Rife overhead, helping us call it all.

217
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 7: I mean, they get your started around the four or

218
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 7: five at Burbank Boulevard in the Van Ies area, and

219
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 7: you do have a patrol car right behind. We also

220
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 7: have a helicopter overhead.

221
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 6: The woman was reportedly able to make it to Mexico

222
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 6: by about one thirty pm, an amazing feet to make

223
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 6: it down to the four or five through Orange County to

224
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 6: the five in San Diego County no traffic, and a

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 6: little more than two hours. The woman driving about one

226
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty five miles, never hitting extreme rates of speed.

227
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: Isn't that insane?

228
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 5: It reminds me of the ending of George Lucas's THHX

229
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: eleven thirty eight, where at a certain point the cops

230
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 5: do a cost benefit analysis and just decide to call

231
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 5: it off.

232
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's exactly right.

233
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if that really happened, though, because she

234
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: was avoiding spike strips in this minivan the whole way.

235
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 6: The CHP attempting several spike strips, the woman able to

236
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 6: avoid all of them.

237
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 7: Disrupt that.

238
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: Oh boy, what is that?

239
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 7: Was that a spike strip they tried to go around?

240
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: That may have been.

241
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 7: I don't know where it came from though, Unless a

242
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 7: patrol car somehow got it out there because they closed

243
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 7: the northbound side. I think it's going to make the

244
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 7: spike strip that much more difficult because the suspect will

245
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 7: have time to move and get away.

246
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: There they are, they.

247
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 7: Tried right there. You shaw the officer to top your screen.

248
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: Here's what we know about the driver. It was a

249
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 6: woman who was experiencing a mental health issue. She reportedly

250
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 6: took that van.

251
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: Now I know that that is a thing that you

252
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: couldn't I've not ever heard that before, a woman experiencing

253
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: a mental health issue? Could you not say that for

254
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: and I don't mean this flippantly, could you not say

255
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: that for anybody who's doing something like this?

256
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 3: I would say so. Yeah.

257
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 8: But I think if she was able to avoid all

258
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 8: of those spike strips, she's either at least relatively saying

259
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 8: or she's played a lot of GTA.

260
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 6: Right now, we don't know if Mexican authorities will work

261
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 6: with police here in the US to take her into custody.

262
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: She's gone.

263
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 8: How did she get across the board? Isn't there a

264
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 8: line that got there? Don't you have to like show

265
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 8: a passport or something?

266
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: And I guess maybe CCHP decided, look, we're gonna just

267
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 2: let her go.

268
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have no idea.

269
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 2: It's a very strange story. There's a movie from the

270
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: nineties called The Chase. Do you remember this movie with

271
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen, Yes, and Christy Swanson.

272
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: I think that's a deep cut. I saw it when

273
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 5: it came out, but I don't remember it very well.

274
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: It's a movie you might see on TBS or whatever,

275
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: like way late at night or something. You know, when

276
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen could open a picture that's hey, listen, have

277
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: you seen the documentary? It is remarkable. I'll take your

278
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: word for it. Men at Work was a good movie.

279
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: The new documentary about Charlie Sheen is I digress. We

280
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: have to get to our guest. I'm so excited to

281
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: talk to this woman. An incredible chef, a great entrepreneur,

282
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: a creative person, and also somebody who's just who's just nice,

283
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: never running from police, always always obeying the law. It

284
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: is a Calabama Kara. Thank you so much for being

285
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,800

290
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: So you have been doing the brick and mortar Calabama,

Speaker 2: So it's a little Is it a former taco place?

297
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: What were they doing there before you guys.

298
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 9: Took Yeah, it's got a lot of history. But the

299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 9: place directly like before me, it was called Tagoria of Hollywood,

300
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 9: and then it was a Benito that used to be

301
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 9: open twenty four hours back in the day. So it's

302
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 9: been a lot of like different taco, burrito, pizza places,

303
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 9: all kinds of things.

304
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: And you took over because you had been doing the

305
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: Calabama bucket drop, the sandwich breakfast sandwich bucket drop, which

306
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: was viral on social media. People freaked out about this

307
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: during the pandemic. You were like, I got to make

308
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: some scratch here. I know, I make a bomb sandwich.

309
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: How am I going to get it to people safely?

310
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 9: Yes? And that lasted for four and a half years,

311
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 9: if you can believe that from my fire escapes, the

312
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 9: bucket dropped sandwich.

313
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: And you were cooking them at home too, right.

314
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 9: Yes, there was a lot. It wasn't just me. I

315
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 9: had to hot Yeah I had people helping me, but yes,

316
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 9: in my kitchen at home.

317
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: Now it's admittedly been a minute since I had one.

318
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: But just remind everybody what is so special about your

319
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: breakfast sandwich, because I remember the panopoly of flavor.

320
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, so much flavor in each bite. We really

321
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 9: really well, so you get everything in one bite. But

322
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 9: it's bacon, egg, cheese, it's really grilled onions, it's got avocado,

323
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 9: and it comes with the dipping sauce which is like

324
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 9: sweet and spicy, a lot of like nostalgic breakfast flavors

325
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 9: in one bite. And it's just a very well done

326
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 9: breakfast sandwich, not sloppy, it doesn't fall out everywhere. It's

327
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 9: cut in half for you. That kind of thing.

328
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: And you just had to go to a brick and

329
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: mortar because you can't stay doing a bucket drop situation forever.

330
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: It's not sustainable.

331
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 9: You lived there, No, I couldn't scale it, and I

332
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 9: couldn't scale it. I did it way longer than I

333
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 9: expected to it. It went past the pandemic, which was amazing. Yeah,

334
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 9: I couldn't scale it, and I my little shack was

335
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 9: so cute, and I decided to take it on as

336
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 9: a project. And here we are almost a year later.

337
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: So you're slinging breakfast sandwiches for for everybody.

338
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: What are the hours and what days?

339
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 9: So we're eight to two and we're Thursday to Monday.

340
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 9: We're just closed on Tuesday and Wednesday right now. So

341
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 9: we're open five days a week from eight to two.

342
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 9: We just got delivery available, so delivery is available well,

343
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 9: and we and I also sell biscuits, so it's breakfast

344
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 9: sandwiches and biscuits, biscuit sandwiches, pimento cheese, that vibe.

345
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 2: So I got to be honest with you, I'm so lucky.

346
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: I've been able to eat a lot of food.

347
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 3: People.

348
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: You know, you're doing the job you get to you

349
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: get to do a lot of things and go a

350
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: lot of places. But I your sandwich is one of

351
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: my favorite things uh out there, and I think it's

352
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: made better even because of how cool you are. And

353
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: people obviously can come and see you and you're you're

354
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: giving back. Yeah, yeah, it does. But you're giving back

355
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: to the community too in this.

356
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 9: Time abs frecolutely. I mean, you know it's something that

357
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 9: I when I opened the restaurant, it was just something

358
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 9: I wanted to do, was be able to help people out.

359
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 9: And now it's just I mean, first of all, the

360
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 9: restaurant community is always the first to step up in

361
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 9: times of crisis. Restaurants pop up the whole entire food community,

362
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 9: and you know, this current situation is no exception. And

363
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 9: so so you're giving out for grilled cheesecuit.

364
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: People who have are on snap benefits or CalFresh maybe

365
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: who can't can't afford food, and some capacity. A lot

366
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: of restaurants, including you, are doing special deals for people.

367
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

368
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 9: Absolutely, We're not asking questions. If you need a grilled cheese,

369
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 9: you need a hot biscuit, you need a soda or

370
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 9: a coffee, we got you. And we've been doing that

371
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 9: since I opened, actually, but I've just we're definitely continuing

372
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 9: to do that just all the time. And I just

373
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 9: think right now it's more important than.

374
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: Ever paying it forward.

375
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, and all that, you know, I mean, we

376
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 9: say it all the time, but it's always worth repeating.

377
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 9: Restaurants need your support right now, and just know that

378
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 9: there's a lot of us out there that are paying

379
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 9: it forward to the community.

380
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am, sorry, that was an outlook updating.

381
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:20,960

00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: out there and you want to go check her out.

Speaker 9: That's right, that's right.

00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: And how much is this a breakfast sandwich? Going these days?

394
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: Going for these days?

395
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 9: So our breakad sandwich is twelve and you can start

396
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 9: a bus. You can build your own biscus sandwich starting

397
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 9: around ten, or you can get a butter biscuit for

398
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 9: five dollars and it is a.

399
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: Good amount of food there, so very very very good.

400
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Kara. Al righty, we got to run,

401
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: talk to you soon. Thank you.

402
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

403
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: This Monday, November tenth, fifty years is the wreck of

404
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: the Edmund Fitzgerald. The gales of November came early, and

405
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, We're not getting gales of November

406
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: here in southern California. It is hot, real warm. A

407
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 2: cool down is on the way though, and I think

408
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: we're going to see some rain potentially midweek. That's kind

409
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: of fun. It was even hot over at the Grove today,

410
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: places where it's not usually this warm, and it wasn't

411
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: a Santa anavit. It's a strange situation out there. The

412
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: next hour we will get into some of the details

413
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: of the wild weather going on all across the country here.

414
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: Plus this hotel situation has been driving me crazy. These

415
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: people who were staying at a hotel when we're told

416
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: their hotel is closing, they got to go find something

417
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: else to do. Pretty wild, of course. The government shutdown

418
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 2: looks like it is at least on the way to

419
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 2: being handled here. That's exciting, that's good. I think we

420
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: don't like a government shutdown. A lot of anxiety about that,

421
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: and I want to talk about something else though.

422
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 3: That's really good.

423
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: This is something that I that was bothering me for

424
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: like two weeks until I figured out what it was.

425
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: A new scam. That's actually a very old scam, not

426
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: very old. It's from the eighties, the nineteen eighties. It's

427
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: not like from like the third century, although maybe they

428
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: had some version of it. I'll tell you what it

429
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: is in just a second. But how about this.

430
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 10: We all get them texting easy past, final notice, the

431
00:21:53,520 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 10: toll evasion and USPS can't deliver because of incomplete address information.

432
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 10: The texts all contain links wanting our credit card information,

433
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 10: and they're all scams.

434
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 11: It's a spray and prey with a.

435
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: Do is that a thing that we that we say

436
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: a lot?

437
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 11: It's a spray and pray.

438
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 5: There's kind of be a I don't think we're quite

439
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 5: in safe harbor hours yet, so be careful.

440
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, could be anything.

441
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 11: It's a spray and prey with a very decent twist

442
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 11: because they're getting a lot.

443
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: The whole sentence is too much.

444
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 11: They're getting a lot of credit cards and account takeovers.

445
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 10: Ben Coon with the cybersecurity firm Unit two to two

446
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 10: one B tracks fraudster activity on the dark web. He's

447
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 10: also tracking these. This bland room filled with nondescript equipment

448
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 10: is called a SIM farm. Each one of these boxes

449
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 10: contains dozen of SIM cards.

450
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: This reporter is eaten up. This script.

451
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 10: Is called a SIM farm. Each one of these boxes

452
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 10: contains dozes of SIM cards. Your cell phone has a

453
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 10: single SIM card that allows you to call and text.

454
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 10: These farms can have thousands of them.

455
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: You're right, one SIM farm.

456
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 10: How many scam text messages could it send out?

457
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: I could?

458
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm gonna look at every word and say

459
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: it as intensely that I can.

460
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: It came straight from the Monster Truck Show Sunday, Sunday Sunday.

461
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 11: Logically put together in my head, the ability to send out,

462
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 11: you know, millions of text messages in a few minutes.

463
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 10: Wait, millions of text messages in just a few minutes.

464
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 11: Yes, sir.

465
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 10: Using IP addresses and public data, Ben can locate these

466
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 10: SIM farms right now. He sees around forty five of

467
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 10: them across the US. Four of those farms are right

468
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 10: here in the LA area.

469
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: Some of these scam texts maybe coming from my own city.

470
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: Yes, the monster is in the house. The call is

471
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: coming from inside the house.

472
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 11: I would even switch that some of these scam texts

473
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 11: are coming from your own city, say it ain't.

474
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: So all right, So there you go, that's the that's

475
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: a local angle scam text coming from your city. Here's

476
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: the scam that I didn't fall for, but I I

477
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: thought about what was that. I was driving out Venture

478
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: Bulevard a couple of weeks ago, just cruising an afternoon

479
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: and I go to a stop sign or I'm in

480
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: traffic or something. I'm going right next to a car

481
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: and the car next to me is the two guys

482
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: that roll down the window and they say, hey, hey,

483
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: do you want a computer? And I was like what.

484
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: They're like, our boss has a couple we accidentally ordered

485
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: too many computers.

486
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 3: Do you want one?

487
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: We'll give it to you for like a couple hundred bucks.

488
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: And I was like, no, I'm good, thank thank you,

489
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: And then you know, proceeded to drive next to him

490
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: for the next ten minutes on Ventura Boulevard thinking like,

491
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: what was that? But apparently this is a scam. It's

492
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: part of what would have been called back in the

493
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: eighties the white van speaker scam, and in that scenario,

494
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: a couple guys would get some cheap old speakers, put

495
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: him in nice boxes, rent a van, slap a logo

496
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: on the side. It was kind of involved, and the

497
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: logo would say like hi audio, Hi fi fine the

498
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 2: oral experiences whatever I heard it, I know, And and

499
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 2: then they would try to mark up these, you know, speakers,

500
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: and they would sell them to victims, mostly affluent young people,

501
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: college students or other people at parking lots, gas stations, colleges,

502
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: large apartment built and they would essentially say, look these

503
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, maybe a warehouse mistake, bookkeeping issue, computer glitch,

504
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: we got too many of these speakers, and we've got

505
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: to get rid of them, so we'll give them to

506
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: you for a cheaper price. And nowadays they've moved way

507
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: beyond the sort of just like trick you into making

508
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: you buy something in the moment, because remember, these things

509
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: are worth like five to thirty bucks, and they're selling

510
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: them for one thousand dollars, but they tell you that

511
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: they're worth three thousand. The scam now has boxes with

512
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: intricate graphic design. There's QR codes, there's fake websites, so

513
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: when you google the speaker company or the computer company,

514
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: it shows up with something that seems legitimate, and people

515
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: are getting taken to the cleaners on this stuff right

516
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 2: here on Ventor at Boulevard in my very own city

517
00:26:59,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: of Sherman.

518
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 5: Oh, I want to know what it says about your

519
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 5: appearance that they roll down the window and they don't

520
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 5: ask it, like if you want a hooker or anything else.

521
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 3: It's like, would you like a computer? By a computer? Dorque? Yeah?

522
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 3: Were you wearing a pocket protection? What was going on?

523
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 4: Due?

524
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: I got good?

525
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 2: Looked like I needed a computer. Well, here's what they say.

526
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: They may target people. It's a pretty sound. They say

527
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: they may target people driving expensive cars and wave them down.

528
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

529
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: The marks are usually affluent young people, college students.

530
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 3: I'm dying. This is hilarious.

531
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: They also might be people who are foreigners or unfamiliar

532
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: with typical business transactions in Western country.

533
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: Which profile did you fit? Fit? All of it?

534
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: Probably just the college student idiot looks like he's gonna

535
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: fall for something. But I said no, and you should

536
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: say no too, But I couldn't. I have thought about

537
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: it for like weeks.

538
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: It's like, what is that? And that's what that was? Alrighty?

539
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: Coming out the rec of the Edmund Fitzgerald happened fifty

540
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: years ago today. We'll get into a lot of debate

541
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: over actually what happened. Why did the Edmund Fitzgerald sink.

542
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: There's some things that are posed in the song by

543
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: Gordon Lightfoot will investigate.

544
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

545
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: Fifty years ago today, the Edmund Fitzgerald took on water

546
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 2: broke apart in Lake Superior and ended up somewhere five

547
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty feet below the surface. Twenty nine crew

548
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: members on board died. Their bodies have never been recovered. It,

549
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: of course, was an iron ore freighter filled with taconite

550
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: making its way through Lake Superior from Wisconsin on its

551
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: way down to Detroit. They were going to mine the

552
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: iron ore the taconite. The gales of November came early,

553
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: of course, if you remember, and the ship sank, and

554
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: no surprise, the Internet, at least one corner of it

555
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: is still very much obsessed with it. Do you remember

556
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: when people said, like they think about the Roman Empire

557
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 2: all the time, Remember doing that story where people are

558
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: like men like think about the Roman Empire like once

559
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: a day or something like that. I never believed that, Yeah,

560
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: I mean it was a study.

561
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

562
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: For me, the Roman Empire is the Edmond Fitzgerald. I

563
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: think about it all the time. This is a true

564
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: element to this story. My grandmother, my grandmother's cousin, was

565
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: one of the crew members, George J. Hall Holl from Cabot, Pennsylvania.

566
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: He was sixty years old when he was on board.

567
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: He passed away and he died in the wreck. And

568
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: I think people are obsessed with it. And you know,

569
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: I grew up thinking about it in the lore of

570
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: it in the family and things like that. But the

571
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: idea of this ship that became kind of with the

572
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: song obviously, but also just the lore of what happened

573
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: to these people and they were never heard from, never

574
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: seen again. And the lake which has so many shipwrecks,

575
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: like hundreds of shipwrecks in it because of these storms,

576
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 2: and the fact that the water is so cold and

577
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: that line the lake it is said, never gives up

578
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: their dead means that there's not enough warmth or oxygen

579
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: in the water at the bottom of the lake that

580
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: normally would produce bacteria that would blow the body and

581
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: make it float to the surface. So what happens is

582
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: if you die in a shipwreck in Lake Superior, your

583
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: body sort of goes through a process like calcification and

584
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: you become sort of soap crazy morbid. Isn't that wild?

585
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: It is so crazy? But it's this story of hubris

586
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: avoidable tragedy. And of course that song by Gordon Lightfoot,

587
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 2: all sick minutes and thirty seconds of it or whatever,

588
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: And popularity of the song spikes every year around November tenth,

589
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: of course, But over the past five years searches have

590
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: been steadily going up, and people say they think about

591
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: it all the time. One TikTok user says, after decades

592
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: of Christmas getting earlier each year, gen Z is stopping

593
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: them with a collective obsession of the nineteen seventy five shipwreck.

594
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: You can get a bumper sticker on Etsy with a

595
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: slogan like stop honking, I'm crying to the wreck of

596
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. Somebody this year went

597
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: viral because they went as the ship for Halloween.

598
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: What, Yes, that's kind of funny. Isn't that wild? I

599
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: don't need to see that? I know you got to

600
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: look it up. On TikTok.

601
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: Events were taking place in both Detroit and near near

602
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: the Up. One person said, I legitimately thought Gordon Lightfoot's

603
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was written about a

604
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: ship from the seventeen hundred. It does kind of have

605
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: an old sea shanty thing that makes it seem a

606
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: lot older. But the story of this boat, of this

607
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: ship it's not a boat, is really crazy. And they

608
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: were saying that they were facing something like forty five

609
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: foot swells, forty five foot waves, eighty mile an hour winds.

610
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: In a lake.

611
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: Lake Superior, Man, it's the you would think it's an

612
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: ocean and it's fresh water. I don't know if you've

613
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: been up there before. My mom lives in Marquette and

614
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: she's also kind of obsessed with this.

615
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: I've been to the I drove through the up once

616
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: back in the day. Yeah, you got it, you got

617
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: it all right.

618
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 5: Now I'm looking at a photo of a child the

619
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 5: Edmund Fitzgerald costume, and he's got a little sailor hat

620
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 5: and a striped shirt and it's cute but also kind

621
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 5: of borderline child abuse. I mean, would you send a

622
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 5: kid out dressed like the Titanic? No, No, you wouldn't,

623
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 5: oh man, I would.

624
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,880
