1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: I'll be with you all the way till ten pm tonight.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Whether you like it or not. We are reliving some

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: of our favorite memories of Christmas. You can give us

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: a call one one hundred five to zero one five

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: three four. Tell us what your favorite gift that you

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: got as a kid that you just loved the most.

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Your Red Rider BB gun. That's twenty on hundred five

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: to zero one KFI. By the way, we're still following

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: this storm that is set to come into the area

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: a little bit later than originally anticipated. I think we

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: had originally anticipated early Tuesday, and now it looks like

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: late Tuesday. In the first round of storms here for

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: southern California, LA Fire Department issued evacuation warnings for neighborhoods

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: near the Sunset Fire that's the area south of Runyon

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: Canyon and the Palisades Fire area near Pacific Palisades Mandeville Canyon,

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: as well mudflow urban flooding likely with mud and debris flow,

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: and the threat would not just be confined to those

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: burn areas, so something to be aware of. Also, I

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: cannot get over the weirdest part of this very weird, complicated, uncomfortable, sad,

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: terrible story. Convoluted doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

22
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: Would you say, mister Ronner, which story are you talking?

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Epstein documents as a concept as

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: a whole. Yeah, convoluted is a good start. It's just

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 2: so complicated. It goes every single day, something new, weird

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: thing happens. Here's the latest from Katla Samantha Cortese about

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: the reaction to files that were deleted and then re

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: added over the weekend.

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: Allow from the Jeffrey Epstein case continues, even after the

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: Justice Department released thousands more pages of documents this Friday.

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: Much of it was heavily redacted, and now some lawmakers

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: are calling out the Justice Department, threatening legal action.

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: It's clear that there's some type of cover up.

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: Many in Congress, including California Representative Robert Garcia, say they

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: are fed up with how the Trump administration is handling

36
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: the Epstein investigation.

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: Robert Garcia, former mayor of Lung Beach.

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Friday, the DOJ released thousands of files, court records, photographs,

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: and call logs, but hundreds of pages were black fully redacted.

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 4: The law is clear, they have to actually put out

41
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: all of the Epstein files, and the only redactions that

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: should exist are direct protection of survivors or victims. That

43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: is not what appears to be happening right now.

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: Some lawmakers from both sides of the aisles say they

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: plan to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt of

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: Congress for not upholding that law, the Epstein Files Transparency Act,

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: which Congress passed and the President signed earlier this year.

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 5: The quickest way, and I think most expeditious way to

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: get justice for these victims, is to bring inherent contempt

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: against Pam Bondy, and that doesn't require going through the courts.

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 5: And we're building a bipartisan coalition and it would find

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: Pam Bondy for every day that she's not releasing these documents.

53
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche rejected accusations the administration is

54
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: trying to hide information, addressing concerns after photos initially released

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: showing then civilian Donald Trump were removed from the released files.

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 6: He has said that in the nineties and early two thousands,

57
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 6: he socialized with him. So the absurdity of us pulling

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 6: down a photo, a single photo because President Trump was

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 6: in it is laughable. And the fact that everybody's trying

60
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 6: to act like that's the case is a reflection of

61
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 6: their true motivation.

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: When I said this yesterday with a complicated conversation that

63
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: comes out of this statement, which is we remove this

64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: picture with current President Trump because we're worried about they're

65
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: being victims in the photo. Is not hard to then

66
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: assume that maybe is that to say that President Trump

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: is their standing with victims, with Epstein victims.

68
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 7: Well, also, we know that Todd blanche was President Trump's

69
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 7: former personal attorney, but he would have to ask the question,

70
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 7: how is he not recused from this issue?

71
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: That's a great it's a great question. Well, the other

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: thing I want to talk about, which is very strange,

73
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: is that today a video came out that a bunch

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: of journalists that Occasey were sending to each other like

75
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: did you see this? This is super weird. It's a

76
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: twelve second video that was posted on Justice dot gov.

77
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: It had a Justice dot govurl. It was alongside other

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: files released by the agency, appeared to show Jeffrey Epstein

79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: in his cell during the final hours of his life.

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: It shows a twelve second long graphic video what seems

81
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: to be Jeffrey Epstein sitting on the floor of a

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: cell in a very wide angle shot. You see it's

83
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: kind of blurry, but a figure sitting next to a bed,

84
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: maybe attempting to harm himself. It is timestamped or August tenth,

85
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, at four to twenty nine am. It looks

86
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: like it is Epstein in his cell at the Metropolitan

87
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: Correctional Center in New York six thirty am that same day.

88
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: In real life, we discovered and we the Royal Wee

89
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: people discovered. The Bureau of Prisons in New York discovered

90
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: that Epstein was dead in his cell that same day.

91
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: Now the video has been removed because it's fake. The

92
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: video appeared to show, according to People dot Com, the

93
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: man trying to hang himself, but it did not depict

94
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: the manner in which Epstein was later found as specified

95
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: by the Bureau of Prisons report. According to the report,

96
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: no camera was recording video inside his cell on the

97
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: night of his death. There was no camera in the

98
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: facility that had a clear view of Epstein. Epstein on

99
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: the night of his death, recorded video evidence was only

100
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: available from one prison security camera. Due to a malfunction

101
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: that camera did not look inside his cell the lights on.

102
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: The lights rather are on in his cell in the video,

103
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: which a standard practice for inmates on suicide Watch. However,

104
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: on the night in question, he was no longer on

105
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: Suicide Watch. He was removed from Suicide Watch twenty days

106
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: earlier after he had attempted to commit suicide the night

107
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: of July twenty third.

108
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 7: Well, people, including Epstein's own brother Mark Epstein, insist that

109
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 7: Epstein Jeffrey was not suicidal.

110
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Right now, the video is so strange, among some other inconsistencies,

111
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: that the door is not correct, it doesn't match the

112
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: door in the images that we see in the actual report.

113
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: Really by the bop, the video might be animation, it

114
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: might be AI. The what is it is is a

115
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: huge question mark. Why did the Justice Department have it?

116
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: Why did they upload it?

117
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 8: Like?

118
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: What is going on there? Like I'm baffled, I cannot

119
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: even comprehend, Like what on earth? Wild? Just the weirdest thing.

120
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: And then the thing that is so different about this

121
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: time compared to maybe ten months ago, even forget years ago,

122
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: is that before the AI video stuff got so good,

123
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: it was really hard to I mean, you required some

124
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: effort to fake a video, and now it requires the

125
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: most minimum prompt up prompt. The AI already has contextual

126
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: understanding of what things look like. There's a video that

127
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: I just saw on Instagram, was just sent to me,

128
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: and it appears to show the moment when a car

129
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: accident happened earlier today or yesterday rather which took the

130
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: life of the video game developer Ben sam Pella. Right

131
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: and and it and I'm not sure that it's real.

132
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a weird world that we live in.

133
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: And that's enough hard news for right now, except for

134
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: what We're going to have Mark ron Er do a

135
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: couple of hard news things, but then we're going to

136
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: get back to our fun holiday stuff. I just like it.

137
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: I cannot even put together in my head what happened

138
00:08:53,679 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: today with this video because it's so strange. Do you

139
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: think I'm am I am I off on that.

140
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 7: I actually haven't seen it, but there are a lot

141
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 7: of questions that still need to be answered around that circumstance.

142
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: So weird. It's all so weird, just like I for

143
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: another time.

144
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

145
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 2: All right, so I do have a little bit of

146
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: an update from what I was just talking about in

147
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: the last segment. This sort of fake video, well, it

148
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: is a fake video. We know it's a fake video,

149
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: but it appeared on the DJ website. It appeared to

150
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: show Jeffrey Epstein attempting to commit suicide in the hours

151
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: leading up to when he was indeed found dead at

152
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: a prison in New York. Now, because the Internet works

153
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: over time trying to figure out what's going on, that

154
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: video was deemed fake and it was removed from the website.

155
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: But because everybody remembers everything and there's a record of everything,

156
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: Twitter has found the regional video, which is indeed a

157
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: rendered computer graphic. I wouldn't call it art, but it's

158
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: made by a person in a program called Blender, and

159
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: it basically is just a recreation of what they would

160
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: have assumed the moment Jeffrey Epstein allegedly took his life

161
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: would look like. It is public. It was uploaded October first,

162
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty by the definitely real name Chad Chaddington on YouTube,

163
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: and there's the video how it ended up in the

164
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: hands of the DOJ, how it ended up being uploaded

165
00:10:49,600 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: into the files. I'm speechless. Another user on x discovered

166
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: that in some of the documents released that are redacted,

167
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: if you highlight them and copy the words into another

168
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: and this isn't all of them, is some of them,

169
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: copy the words into another word processor, Essentially, you can

170
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: see what the reaction was supposed to be. I've been

171
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: seeing that unreal, some true pros. You got to think, like,

172
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: no matter what your pov on this is, which like

173
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: you should be horrified, quite frankly by Jeffrey Epstein. I

174
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: hope that there's not people who are defending him, but

175
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: as far as that how, it's political football. Whatever your

176
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: opinion on this, whether you think, oh it makes Bill

177
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: Clinton look bad, it makes Donald Trump look back, whatever,

178
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: it is so hard not to just be in awe

179
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: of the absolute stupidity of the way that this has

180
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: been released. It's just like, oh my god, could you

181
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: have been worse? All Right, that's enough of that for now,

182
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: but I thought it was important to just to at

183
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 2: least explain where that video came from. Strange world. We've

184
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: got Jay who's been waiting patiently on the line as

185
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: we hop back into the Christmas spirit. This is just

186
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: like a holiday party, right where like you're there to

187
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: celebrate the holidays, and then your annoying uncle me just

188
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: starts talking about politics and you won't shut up. We've

189
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: got Jay on the phone here though, to talk about

190
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: something that he got as a kid. What was your

191
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: Red Rider BB gun equivalent when you were growing up?

192
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 7: Hi?

193
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 8: Andy?

194
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 6: Hi?

195
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 9: Mark?

196
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: Uh?

197
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 8: For me, it was this toy called the Claw and

198
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 8: I think it was made by a company called Tycho.

199
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 8: And it was like a battery operated toy. It's like

200
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 8: a four x four off road vehicle. It was small.

201
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 8: It wasn't like something you get in. It was like

202
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 8: a small one and it would like rock climb moviels

203
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 8: would open up that these claws would come out. It

204
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 8: could climb over almost anything, which was really cool.

205
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: I think i'm looking at it. Could it have been

206
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: made by Kenner?

207
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 8: Perhaps, Yes, it's possible, but I want to say it

208
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 8: was Tycho or it wasn't Tyson. It was like a

209
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 8: te y something company.

210
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tycho definitely made a lot of the cool truck

211
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: toys when we were kids, for sure, So I think

212
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: that that's a totally valid thought. I'm gonna say if

213
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 2: I can pull up commercial here from nineteen ninety one

214
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: the Claw RC truck commercial. Yeah, did you end up?

215
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: Did you get it?

216
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 8: Of course?

217
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: And for was it in the early nineties, like when

218
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: Christmas Morning where you opened it up?

219
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 8: No, for us, we always celebrated Christmas Eve a cultural thing. Cool,

220
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 8: but I mean we had gifts both Christmas Eve and

221
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 8: I guess the morning up. But I don't remember when

222
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 8: I opened it. But it was the greatest thing ever.

223
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: You know that your early RC cars from the eighties,

224
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: I guess in the nineties had a battery life of

225
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: about like thirty five minutes, and you would charge it.

226
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: You'd charge it for like the battery charge it for

227
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: like six hours, and then you could play with it

228
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: for like thirty five minutes and then you knew real

229
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: Soon after playing you were like, Okay, it's starting to

230
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: go down, starting to get a little slower. It's not

231
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: as high pitched. It's it's a it's revin itself a

232
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: little bit lower every single time. Okay, I've got this

233
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: commercial for the Claw RC truck TV commercial from nineteen

234
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: ninety one. Let's listen. The claw when it gets out,

235
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: nothing gets in its way, nothing, The claw fights splitting

236
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: reaction traction. Oh, the wheel split and so it can

237
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: then get more traction. That's so cool.

238
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 9: The claw.

239
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 10: Reaction traction gives the claw the power to beat the

240
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 10: toughest road block.

241
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: Wow, that is a great toy.

242
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 7: Hey, hey, it goes where it was over your mom's

243
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 7: face in bed.

244
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: Jay, thank you so much for calling. I really appreciate it.

245
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: That's a great memory. I think I remember that commercial.

246
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 8: Now.

247
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: I would not have been able to get that because

248
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: it was probably too masculine. You know, that was a

249
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: pretty butch commercial for kids. Yeah, I was. My parents

250
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: would have been like, that's a little too much. You

251
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: can get the smaller one that doesn't have the wheels,

252
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: don't split open, climb up a rock.

253
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 11: Whereas I was a total tomboy and I was getting

254
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 11: the remote control Phantom car for my Christmas celebration.

255
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: I love that. I heard you also had a Barbie Porsche.

256
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 11: I had all the Barbie accoutrements. I had Rock and Roll, Barbie,

257
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 11: Loving You Barbie. I had Barbie's pink Porsche. But because

258
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 11: I was the youngest, I inherited my brothers and my

259
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 11: cousin's toys, so I got Castle Grace, don't Castle Grace,

260
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 11: skull he Man. I had skeletol. I had two face,

261
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 11: I had battle Cat, I had Sheerer, Princess of Power.

262
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 11: But the thing that sucked the most was one day

263
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 11: I stepped on battle Cat and one of his spikes

264
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 11: went into my foot. I had to get a tennis

265
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 11: injection because of battle Cat, one of many tennis injections.

266
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's so funny. That is a great story.

267
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: This goes back to what I was saying, where like

268
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: we were just injured a lot as kids, it just

269
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: was a lot more dangerous. Everything was metal.

270
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 11: If there was a rusty nail, I was finding it

271
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 11: and either running into it or stepping on it.

272
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 7: Later on, I have the most dangerous Christmas toy of

273
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 7: all time, and I had one of these.

274
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: Did you really? I'll tell you about it after the break.

275
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: All right, well there, that's very good. We've got another

276
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: call we'll talk to after we come back from the break,

277
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: and I'm going to try to see you can't I

278
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: got I looked it up. There's no claw. RC's for

279
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: sale on eBay, So for now we'll just have to

280
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: deal with I can.

281
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: Remember when I had it. I'm a pleasant day. You're

282
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

283
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: How many hours before Christmas? I don't know. Twenty four

284
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: plus for twenty eight? No, thirty forty eight plus fifty

285
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: A man, it's soon, and ask for a calculator for Christmas.

286
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if it would help me. I don't

287
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: even know what I need to subtract. Right, it's twenty four,

288
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: it's forty eight hours away. The answer is several plus four.

289
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I'm just doing my bed. I'm

290
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: just hanging out, you know, doing the thing. This is

291
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: what I was going to play before we went to break.

292
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: One of my favorite sounds of all time is Skeletory

293
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: just having the time of his life. He had a

294
00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: very good day, all right. Sorry. Alan Oppenheimer was the

295
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: original voice of Skeletor and he man and mastered The Universe, which,

296
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: as you might know, was a TV show because of

297
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: the toy.

298
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 11: Best TV Show, Great show, Best Toys, Fun Toys. My

299
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 11: castle had a trap door by the way, Oh really,

300
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 11: it was so cool.

301
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 2: Did you did you drop Skeletor down that trap door?

302
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 11: Everyone got dropped down that trap door was so cool.

303
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

304
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 7: I kind of see Nikki siding with skeletor I love skeleton.

305
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: It's a great laugh. So good. On the line, we've

306
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 2: got Alex who's calling to talk about what toy he

307
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: remembers the most from being a kid or her It

308
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: could be her, Alex, are you with us?

309
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 9: So it's an ambiguous name.

310
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a boy though. All right, well that's fine,

311
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: we would take either.

312
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,160

323
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,880

328
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,680

331
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,639

342
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and.

343
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 9: Yep, and they didn't have it. I came home and

344
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 9: she's like, oh, we should go shopping for another jacket.

345
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 9: And we went shopping and then we got to where

346
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 9: we were celebrating Christmas and she's like, just I couldn't

347
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 9: find what I liked. Sent me shopping again with my cousins.

348
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 9: Let's find something. She told them, don't buy anything, and

349
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 9: sure enough, man, it was under the Christmas tree. Open

350
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 9: that packet. I opened it and I was blown away,

351
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 9: and ever since I've tried to make Christmas magic happen

352
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 9: for anybody i'm buying presents for.

353
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: That is a classic. Yes, that reminds me of a

354
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 2: Christmas story, the fake out where you think you're not

355
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: going to get it and then you know, Ralphie goes

356
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: and looks behind the desk and there's the red Rider

357
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: baby gun. And my dad did a similar thing to

358
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: me with a guitar. Got a guitar, first guitar, and

359
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 2: he you know, I opened all the small gifts and stuff,

360
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, I knew any I know wanted

361
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: a guitar. Nothing was a guitar shaped under the tree.

362
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: And I, you know, you don't want to say anything.

363
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: As a kid, you don'tant to be rude. You want

364
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: to be like, hey, where's my gift? Or at least

365
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: I didn't. I think some kids would. But then and

366
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: then he after after we'd opened everything, he's like, aren't

367
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: you missing something? And I was like, I don't know,

368
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: I kind of wanted a guitar maybe. Then he went

369
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: and you know, brought it up from the back of Yver,

370
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: like there was a big box of the guitar and

371
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: so yeah, that is a good kind of Christmas magic

372
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: that like as a kid, it's a little torturous, but

373
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: it also is so wonderful. Yeah that's great, that's great. Wow,

374
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: that's a good story. And yeah, well I'll tell you what, Alex,

379
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: if you say it, I can push this button called

380
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: dump and then it jumps ahead by like ten seconds,

381
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: so it's like you never even said it. And I

382

Speaker 2: get to push that button and I feel so cool.

384
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: There's cough buttons too. There's a cough button and there's

385
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: a dump button. That's a lot of power for one man.

386
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 11: I used to do the dump button Dancing with the

Speaker 2: It was fun. It's fun, especially when post Malone was there.

390
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah bad. Hey, So Alex, if you're still there's

391
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: what's the plan for the holidays this year?

392
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 12: Same thing?

393
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 9: Unfortunately, a couple of years ago. Our mom died back

394
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 9: in two thousand and two, two thousand and three, and

395
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 9: then our dad passed away a couple of years ago,

396
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 9: and the three siblings, one of them moved a little bit,

397
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 9: moved a little bit away, and so we're all kind

398
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 9: of a little bit separated. But also the kids are

399
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 9: getting older and they had their responsibilities with jobs and stuff.

400
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 9: So it's it's how things kind of change over time.

401
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: I hear you. I hate that, but I totally get it.

402

404
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: five years ago, and you know, I tried to get

405
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: back as much as possible, but it really it's tough

406
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: when you can't around the holidays, for sure, So I

Speaker 2: Everybody's doing their.

411
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 9: Best, and but you know, the piles under the tree

412
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 9: are smaller. It went from a twenty two pound turkey

413
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 9: to an eighteen pound turkey. Yeah yeah, but you know what,

Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

422
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: If you remember a gift from when you were a kid,

423
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: something you really liked, something you couldn't wait to get

424
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: that kind of joy, that kind of excitement and anticipation.

425
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: People pay a lot of money to alter their brain

426
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: chemistry with various extracurriculars to feel that kind of way. Nowadays,

427
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: if you can't get a prescribed by a doctor, let's

428
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: just say that much. And remember the situation that was

429
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: happening up in San Francisco over the weekend Saturday. A

430
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: fire at a substation in the Mission District of San

431
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: Francisco knocked out power for one hundred and thirty thousand

432
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 2: people in the Bay Area. A buddy of mine who

433
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: you've heard on this show named James Reddick, who lives

434
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: in an area called Outer Richmond. I don't know is

435
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: it the Outer Richmond or the Inner Richmond or is

436
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: it just Outer Richmond. I'm not sure. I'm sorry. I

437
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 2: apologize to all the Bay Area listeners that we have.

438
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 2: I believe there's like three or four million of them,

439
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: So I'm I hope that I haven't offended you to

440
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: the point of no return. And I wonder if it's

441
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: like saying the PCH, you know, because if somebody says

442
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: the PCH in southern California on the news and they're

443
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 2: a news person, You're like, what the hell is it?

444
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: This guy? Who's he think he is?

445
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: He is not from here.

446
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: So anyway, James was one of those people whose power

447
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: went out Saturday and it stayed out all the way

448
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: until today. Now, for us adults, we deal. However, James

449
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: and his wife have a brand new baby girl. Situation

450
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 2: was at least of interest enough to KRON, which is

451
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: the u KTLA affiliate up in San Francisco, that they

452
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: did a little story with them. Here's the news report

453
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: from just a little bit earlier.

454
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 13: Any Outer Richmond, the Reddick family.

455
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: The Outer Richmond, We got our answer right there.

456
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 13: Any Outer Richmond, the Reddick family is hoping for a

457
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 13: brighter Christmas, especially since it's the first time for three

458
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 13: month old baby Eloise.

459
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 12: We'd been stockpiling breast milk for the first three months

460
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 12: we've had this baby for when my wife has to

461
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 12: go back to work, and all of it's ruined. So

462
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 12: we basically have this massive supply, Like we tried to

463
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 12: calculate what even would be the value of it if

464
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 12: we had to replace it with formula, and it's like

465
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 12: thousands of dollars worth.

466
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 13: Their power has been now since Saturday morning, before the

467
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 13: Mission Street substation fire that put more than one hundred

468
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 13: and thirty thousand San Francisco customers in the dark.

469
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 2: They've been managing, but.

470
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 13: Are frustrated with how slow the restoration process has been

471
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 13: and the whip law from this seemingly ever changing deadlines.

472
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 12: The phone calls I get every three hours where they're like, oh,

473
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 12: it's got two pm or eight pm or oh, ten pm,

474
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 12: Like you kind of are living in this like purgatory

475
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 12: where you're led to believe it's.

476
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 2: Going to be any minute now. So I was texting

477
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: him when this started happening, because you know, we're buds,

478
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 2: we've known each other since probably middle school, and he

479
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: was telling me that they had to go to like

480
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: a rec center in order to charge their phones, because

481
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: they didn't their phones were running out of battery.

482
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 12: And it affects how what you do that day, or

483
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 12: like you know, whether or not you go get a

484
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 12: hotel room, or whether or not you go stay with family.

485
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 13: On Monday, Pgenie held their first on camera news conference

486
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 13: since the outage began.

487
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 10: We want to acknowledge that many customers received astromatic times

488
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 10: and restoration.

489
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: Also, James is so chill in this interview. I would

490
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: be so mad if my baby didn't have food. Well,

491
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: I guess the baby has food because mom's there, But

492
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: if the baby didn't have frozen food or all my

493
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: breast milk was going bad. Thousands of dollars a formula

494
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: to be replaced, and they didn't do a press conference

495
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: on camera for two days. What's going on up there?

496
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 13: On Monday, Pgenie held their first on camera news conference

497
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 13: since the outage began.

498
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 10: We want to acknowledge that many customers received estimated times

499
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 10: and restoration that proved to be inaccurate. We understand how

500
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 10: frustrating and confusing this was.

501
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: Anytime someone who's an elected official says something like this, we.

502
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 10: Understand how frustrating and confusing.

503
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: This was Does it ever make you feel any better? Ronert?

504
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: Does that put you at ease? Nothing puts me at ease. Andy,

505
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: That's right.

506
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 10: This was We own that and we're committed to ensuring

507
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 10: that we're doing right by them and we're leaving no

508
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 10: customer behind.

509
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: There's still, by the way, a few thousand people without

510
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: power at San Francisco. Just FYI.

511
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 13: In addition to the local rec cents, they're acting as

512
00:29:59,120 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 13: a resource.

513
00:29:59,800 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 9: Huh.

514
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 13: The utility company will soon open up funds for expedited

515
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 13: claims for residents who lost power to be reimbursed.

516
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 10: We're committing to an expedited process. We're working through those

517
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 10: details at the very moment, and we're going to be

518
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 10: reaching out to those impacted customers very soon.

519
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 13: But Monday afternoon, they're reddicks. Got in early Christmas gift.

520
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 13: Finally their power is back on and here's hoping many

521
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 13: residents follow suit.

522
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: It was on camera at the end of the interview.

523
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: James is sitting there. This reporter, Stephanie asks her name

524
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: is Stephanie Rothman, an MMJ. She does all the shooting

525
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: in the editing and everything she asked, is anything else

526
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: you want to add? He says, no, I don't think so.

527
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: And when he said that, the lights of the Christmas

528
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: tree came on behind him and it was a Christmas miracle, magicalction.

529
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: Isn't that beautiful? Coming up in the next hour, it's

530
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: Massa time in southern California. Thousands flocked to Downey for

531
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: the annual Massa pilgrimage. We had a reporter there this
