It's not just a heavy storm. 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: It's not just expected to pack a punch, and it's 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 2: not just really cold. It's big. It is literally gonna 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: go from New England all the way to New Mexico 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: and cover like all the southern states and states that 9 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 2: are not used to getting snow, and down to Louisiana, 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: like over a dozen parishes are already under a state 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: of emergency. The state of Louisiana is under a state 12 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: of emergency. There are five southern states that have already 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: declared a state of emergency. And the storm's not here. 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: It's gonna be that kind of storm. 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: This is an incredible storm sprawling two thousand miles from 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: New Mexico to New England. These winter weather alerts continue 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: to expand, in fact upgrade as far south as the 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 3: Iten Corridor and now including all of our major cities 19 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 3: on the I ninety five DC to Boston. 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Boston down to d C, all the way down 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: to Florida and then under the ten, like the ten 22 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: Freeway that takes you to Palm Springs, that goes all 23 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: the way to the east coast, and everything under the 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: ten is south like just like the South, the deep South, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: and they are under a state of emergency and expectation 26 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: of this storm. It's going to be a big wallop. 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: Here is the State of Louisiana state climatologist. I didn't 28 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: even know they had that position there. What are they 29 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: what kind of climate are they studying in Louisiana. But 30 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: he's very worried. So it's a triple wami. 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 4: Ice for the northern parish is followed by snow, followed 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: by that bitter cold Arctic air. 33 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, bitter cold Arctic air. They have parishes in Louisiana. 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: They don't call them counties. They call them parishes like 35 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: church parishes. That's the way they divide up the state. 36 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: And they are just preparing so when this happens, you 37 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: inevitably see they send television reporters into the grocery store, 38 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: and the grocery stores are a madhouse. I mean we 39 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: kind of get that a little bit here every once 40 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: in a while in southern California when there's big rainstorms, 41 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: people like, oh, I gotta go stock up. And I'm 42 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: always amazed by this. And my mom worked at a 43 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: grocery store, so she used to tell me stories about 44 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: how if you know a big snowstorm was coming, the 45 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: kinds of things people would buy, and just the mania 46 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: inside the grocery store. But this is times ten people 47 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: are buying everything. They are literally buying out the grocery store. 48 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 5: Inside we found people in the snack aisles, extra milk 49 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 5: place in the front of the store, and workers restocking items. 50 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: They bring the milk to the front of the store 51 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: so that you don't because always the milk is always 52 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: weigh in the back, right. But everyone's buying milk, which 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: is a curious thing to stock. If the power's going out, 54 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: the expectation here is, all right, the power's gonna go out, 55 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: we're probably gonna lose power. And even in big blizzards 56 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 2: you lose power for like a couple of days if 57 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 2: you live on the outskirts of town, it might be 58 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: more than that. If it's really a big storm and 59 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: you lose power for any length of time over that, 60 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: then people are relocating or going to centers, are going 61 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: to a hotel, So I'm wondering exactly how much cereal 62 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: they're going to consume with that milk. 63 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 5: And workers restocking items checkout lines, we're pretty busy. Ben 64 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 5: di Patrizio is happy to be done there. 65 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 6: I got milk butter peppers, some good milk bread butter peppers. 66 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: What is he planing? I'm making what exactly what recipe 67 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: calls for that in the snowstore? I mean whatever, I mean, 68 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: enjoy whatever your menu is. If you're gonna be out 69 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: of power for a couple of days, buy wine. 70 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 7: Butter peppers, some good toilet paper. 71 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, they always talk about that, the toilet paper. 72 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: My mom mentioned that too. My mom said, whenever there's 73 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: a big storm coming, people come in and they buy 74 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: toilet paper, which is curious. I don't know why the 75 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: storm makes you use the restroom more than your normal 76 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: stock of toilet paper. The plumbing still works. And the 77 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: other thing that people tend to buy, according to my mother, 78 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: was ice cream. There's something about storms that make people 79 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: buy ice cream. Because I ice cream. It's okay if 80 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: it's cold, because you could always just put the ice 81 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: cream outside but just a psychological thing. And those of 82 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: you that work in grocery stores or have worked in 83 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: grocery stores, I think you'll agree. Right, people buy ice 84 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: cream when disaster is about to strike. It spoilt paper, 85 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: Oh god, you gotta have it. 86 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 5: His snow day meal already planned. 87 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 6: I got some hamsteaks, some big potatoes, some mashed potato 88 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 6: all on the side, and some beans. 89 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 5: You know, the big question, do people want a wopping snow? 90 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: No, they don't. They really don't in Louisiana. They're not 91 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: down for it. The big problem is not so much 92 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: the snow, and this is not people that are used 93 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: to the kind of snow. If you told me there 94 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: was a big storm coming and it was headed for 95 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: Boston or Philly or Pittsburgh, right, they know exactly what 96 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 2: to do. They know how to prepare. They're not buying beans. 97 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 2: And what else did you have? You had? It was 98 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: an odd menu he had going on their heads. 99 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 6: I guys, some hamsteaks, some big potatoes, some mashed potato 100 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 6: all on the side. 101 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: What is he gonna do with the potatoes? Anyway, you're 102 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: talking about people that are just not ready for the 103 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 2: freezing rain and the big snow in Kentucky, they're really 104 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: concerned about it. I listened to the governor of Kentucky, 105 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: and people that are in snow states are mocking the 106 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: people that are preparing for this. So there's that a 107 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: little tension going back and forth. Here, here's the governor 108 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: of Louisiana, here's Governor Landry. 109 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 8: You could have bitter code in new electricity. So just 110 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 8: think about how you prepare. I really do believe if 111 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 8: you just take some time think about it. Take care 112 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 8: of you to carry your neighbors, take carry your pipes, 113 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 8: take care of making sure that you've got enough water, 114 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 8: enough blankets. 115 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 2: That does not sound like a Louisiana accent. I was listening. 116 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: Conway was talking about how accents are going away, So 117 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: I was kind of hoping that the governor of Louisiana 118 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 2: had more of a draw, like a southern drawl. But yeah, 119 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: he's telling you to get blankets and be prepared. But 120 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: there is a state of emergency now in five states, 121 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: and everybody's getting concerned about it, and they're cleaning out 122 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: the grocery stores. The frenzy at the grocery stores. It's 123 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: always so fascinating to me. I feel like, most people 124 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: could survive forty eight hours with the food that's in 125 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: the cupboard now, and you don't need milk for sure, 126 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: and is cereal what you plan on eating when the 127 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 2: lights are out. It's just very very strange choices these storms, 128 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: as they have so many people just going crazy now. Also, 129 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: the hardware stores are being hit, so grocery and hardware 130 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: are being cleaned out as everybody prepares for the storm. 131 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: And if you're traveling out of Lax at all this weekend, 132 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: you should be going to Hawaii or nowhere else. 133 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 134 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: So the Nasha Weather Service is stepping things up as 135 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: they prepare for this really big storm. I mean, it's 136 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: not really a blizzard because it's way bigger than a blizzard. 137 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: It'll be a blizzard in New England, but it'll just 138 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: be a lot of rain, a lot of wind, and 139 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: bitter bitter cold as it gets down into south of 140 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: the Mason Dixon line and all the way down into Louisiana. 141 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 2: That's pretty south. So according to the National Service Director 142 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: Ken Graham, we're throwing everything at this because we got 143 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: to get that data into the models. It's a complicated 144 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: and tricky One hundred and forty six million Americans will 145 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: be affected by this winter storm that will span two 146 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: thousand miles from New Mexico to Maine, and it could 147 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: affect half the country's population. In the south, they're facing 148 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: big ice threats and power outages that will last days. 149 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 2: A blast of Arctic air means whatever snow and ice 150 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: falls sticks and stays around for a long long time. 151 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 9: Hey, you guys asked how that gentleman's gonna cook his milk, bread, butter, 152 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 9: and peppers and baked potatoes with no power. 153 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 10: If he has a gas range. 154 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: He'll be fine. 155 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 7: And that's, you know, one of the big arguments for 156 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 7: keeping a gas range and not moving to an electric oven. 157 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. I like gas just because I like to cook 158 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: on gas because of the flexibility. But my gas range 159 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: plugs in. That's how you get the click click click, 160 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 2: click click. But I appreciate the call. 161 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, Lou, I'm a contractor in San Diego gas stoves. 162 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 11: As long as you have the burners and you can 163 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 11: turn the gas on with the knobs, you can light 164 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 11: it with a match or an am inflame.

All you have to do. 177 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: Is boil water fire, don't cost anyway. 178 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Got to watch that potty mouth 179 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 2: on the radio. Meteorologists are now warning that the trees 180 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: it's gonna be so cold in this storm that again 181 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: is going to refit two thousand miles long and affecting 182 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: half of the nation. I just had my sons. I 183 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 2: just texted them to tell them to text their godmother. 184 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: Their godmother is. She lives in Irvine, but she is 185 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: from Louisiana, and they went to go visit her parents 186 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: and there in Louisiana and they're in a parish that 187 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: is now under a state of emergency. So I said, 188 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: make sure you text your godmother and have her check 189 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: in with let them know you're thinking about them, because 190 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: they're just that they're not they're not sure what to do. 191 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: In Louisiana. That's how cold it's going to be. So 192 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: it's going to be so cold that meteorologists are warning 193 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: that the trees could explode. The trees will blow up. 194 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: That's how cold it's going to be. 195 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 12: The meteorologists say this is actually possible. In sub zero 196 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 12: weather expected in the Midwest and northern plains, trees could 197 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 12: actually split and burst. This is a bitter Arctic blast 198 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 12: moves its way south from Canada. Sap In trees contain water. 199 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 12: Scientists say, think of what happens to a pipe when 200 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 12: the water inside it freezes. 201 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: I don't like when we ask scientists to explain something 202 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: to us and they give us an analogy and say, well, 203 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 2: think about it. If I I mean, if my thoughts 204 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: could lead me to a conclusion as to why the 205 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 2: tree is going to explode, then we wouldn't have brought 206 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: you in for the interview. They do that a lot, right, 207 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: like the tree, it's gonna be so cold, the trees 208 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: are gonna explode. Really, why, well, think about it, like, Okay, 209 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 2: how much time do I have? So I guess sap 210 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 2: contains water and then the water explodes. But I mean, 211 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: like pipes only contain water, trees contain sap, and I 212 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: guess there's some water in the sap, so I wouldn't 213 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: expect the water to be that volume, miss that it 214 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: causes the trees to explode. Now that there's also criticism, 215 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: and this is coming from the Midwest. So this storm 216 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: is kind of from Boston and then sweeps down into 217 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 2: the Great into the South and then goes all the 218 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: way through Texas and into New Mexico. So people in 219 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: Chicago still really going to be cold, but are like, 220 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 2: all right, you guys are overreacting. You guys are making 221 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 2: this sound like a Marvel film. It's just cold. But 222 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 2: people in Tennessee and Jacksonville, Florida, they're not used to 223 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: this level of coal, so they are really preparing. What 224 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: is interesting to me is the hardware stores are getting 225 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: cleaned out too. The hardware stores are getting cleaned out. 226 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: Everybody needs a shovel. A lot of them are buying wood, 227 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: and many of them are buying wood for the first time. 228 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: All day long. 229 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 13: Stand people fill up their cards with snowmel de. 230 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: Icer, de icing for the sidewalks. 231 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 7: Getting some firewood in case the power goes out, which 232 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 7: I've heard can be a thing. 233 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, see, you could tell that's a transplant. Got some 234 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: firewood in case the power goes out, because I heard 235 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: that's a thing. When you consider the number of people 236 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: from southern California border raised in southern California that move 237 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: to Tennessee and moved to Florida and moved to Texas. 238 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: I know three families that were in southern California and 239 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: once they got married, having children, and they just decided 240 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: they were going to move to other states for better 241 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: quality of life, more affordability, better place to raise a family. Okay, 242 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: I know one that I am sure has never known 243 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: a fireplace that does not turn on unless there's a 244 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: light switch next to the mantle. She's from Huntington Beach 245 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: and I am absolutely like my wife born and raised 246 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: in Huntington Beach and she's never seen a fireplace. She's 247 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: always had a fireplace growing up. They had a fireplace 248 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: in the house, fireplace in her mother's house, fireplace in 249 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: our house. And how do you turn it not you 250 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: flip the switch and who there's the fire. That's how 251 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: you make a fire in California. So when these people 252 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: move to the the suburbs of Nashville and they see 253 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: that fireplace and they think, wow, I should get what 254 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: do we need? We need wood? Where do they get that? 255 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: They get it at the hardware store. All right, I'm 256 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: gonna run out the hardware store and get the wood 257 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: for the fire in case the power goes out, because 258 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: as the guy said, that's the thing, the power goes out, 259 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: which I've heard can be a thing. Yep. Now what 260 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: I know many of these people have no idea what 261 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: a flu is, have no idea how to loight of fire, 262 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: don't know how it all works. So I wonder how 263 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: many California transplants to many of these southern states are 264 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: going to be stuck on their phone googling, had a 265 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: lot of fireplod. 266 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: And stucking up on a lot of snacks. 267 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 13: So yeah, get those shovels ready. And if you're wondering 268 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 13: why so many people are stalking up on Wednesday for 269 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 13: a weekend storm, well there is a really good reason 270 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 13: for that. There's actually a nationwide icemelt shortage. So while 271 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 13: there are lots of bags here for now, once they're gone, 272 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 13: I'm told they are gone. 273 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, nationwide icemelt well shortage. Don't remember reading about that, 274 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: but it's a it's a thing. Well, look, we're here 275 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and this is one of the days 276 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: and one of the weekends where it's gonna be absolutely gorgeous. 277 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: It might rain, but even so, it won't be freezing 278 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: cold and our trees won't be exploding as a result 279 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: of the Arctic blast. So we you know, we have 280 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: to take a victory lap every once in a while, 281 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 2: and the weather and the conditions in January is a 282 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: good opportunity for us in southern California to take a 283 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: victory lap. That's for sure. 284 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 285 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: Thank you for tuning in. Good to have you along 286 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: with us. Big storm, big, big, big storm hitting the 287 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: United States will affect half the country and some states 288 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: that are just not ready for this kind of powerful storm. 289 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: And it's gonna be really really cold, that's the big thing. 290 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: It's not going to be the snow and the wet rain. 291 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: It's going to be the temperatures. So when whatever's falling 292 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 2: out of the sky hits the ground, it will immediately freeze. 293 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: And that's the real concern that they're having. I understand 294 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 2: in Arkansas and Alabama and in Georgia already. I think 295 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: it's is it. Twelve parishes in the state of Louisiana 296 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: are under a state of emergency. Five states are under 297 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 2: a state of emergency, and they're all going to the 298 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: grocery store and buying the strangest things, the absolute strangest things. Foosh, 299 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 2: how long could you live in your house with the 300 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: food that's in your house? I think people overplay this. 301 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: I think you could just survive with the food that's 302 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: in the pantry, and if you lose power, then eat 303 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 2: the food that's in the freezer. First. 304 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a that's a good question. 305 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 2: I would be. I mean, I could last a while, just. 306 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 14: Because you know, I'm a little bit on the rotun side, 307 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 14: so I could lie. 308 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 2: But even yeah, but I mean, don't you have you 309 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: have It's not like you have nothing on the cupboard. 310 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: You're not down to your last can of who hash. No, 311 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: there's some stuff in there. It may not all go together, 312 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 2: but if the lights are out, you're gonna survive.

But you could use power during COVID, 335 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: and you didn't know if it was just gonna be 336 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 2: a couple of days. Here, people are gonna lose power. 337 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: I get it, Uh, lose power for two three days. 338 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 2: H you're gonna get bored with the food that's in 339 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: your house. But you could certainly survive. And the people 340 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 2: that are not gonna get power restored for more than 341 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: like three, four or five days. Now you're making other plans, right, 342 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: You're getting in your car and you're gonna go to 343 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: somebody else's house. You're gonna go to someplace. You're gonna 344 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: get a motel. I mean, there's gonna be a restaurant 345 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 2: open somewhere. Like, it's not gonna rain for you know, 346 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 2: day straight. It's just going to be a weekend weather storm, 347 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: winter storm that's probably gonna knock down a bunch of 348 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: power lines. So I don't know that you got to 349 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 2: storm the grocery store and buy every single thing in sight, 350 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: but people are doing it. You need to start drinking March. 351 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: This is a boring show tonight. Boring, so boring. 352 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 15: Yeah, we hear about all these storms all the time, 353 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 15: and you know, eighty five percent of the time, the 354 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 15: weather people are just flat wrong. So I take everything 355 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 15: that the weather people say with a grain of salt 356 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 15: and I just prepare. Right, it's not that hard, it's 357 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 15: not that expensive, and it's really simple. But I don't 358 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 15: trust weather people at all. 359 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 2: Well, they're all kind of an agreement that it's going 360 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: to be a really big storm. So yes, they are forecasters. 361 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: So just like the people forecasting whether the rams will win, right, 362 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 2: they could be wrong. So they're forecasting based on models, 363 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: and at least they have data to look at. But 364 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: it's a I mean, it's gonna be called somewhere, that's 365 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: for sure, and if it's this big, then they can't 366 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: be completely wrong. What what they might not get right 367 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 2: is it might not go as deep south as Mississippi, 368 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: but it's probably gonna be pretty cold in northwest Arkansas, 369 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: and it's not usually this cold. I like when people 370 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: say just prepare, I what do you? 371 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: I don't. 372 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 2: There's nothing to do, like if if if, if I'm 373 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: in Big Bear, I have a cabin in Big Bear, 374 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: like and if we're there for a good amount of time. 375 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: Sometime sometimes we're up there for the week in February 376 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: because the kids are out of school and and the 377 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: forecast is for a storm. I buy beer, Like, what what? 378 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: What else? What are you gonna do? You already have 379 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: all the food that you were going to make if 380 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 2: you were in the cabin. If you don't have power, 381 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: then you just eat the other food you don't. Nobody 382 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 2: only has food that has to be cooked. So and 383 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: I never do the check the batteries thing. The flashlight 384 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 2: always seems to work. 385 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 16: There are fire pits, there are barbecues that you can 386 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 16: use as stoves. You can make campfire coffee. The milk 387 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 16: can be used in the coffee. There's all kinds of alternatives. 388 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 16: If you're lucky enough to have a fireplace, that can 389 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 16: also turn into a cook stove too. 390 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Waltons was a long time ago. Nobody is 391 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: cooking over the fireplace. It's keep in mind it's raining 392 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: and it's really cold outside, so I don't think anybody's 393 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: going to do a fire pit. This is not the 394 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: right time to start doing s'mores. 395 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can keep your milk cold in the cooler 396 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 4: outside in the snow. You just throw a little bit 397 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 4: of snow in the cooler, shut the lid, and you're 398 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 4: good to go. 399 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 2: Come on, guys, Yeah, I'm not really worried about the milk. 400 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 2: I'm concerned why you need extra milk during a snowstorm. 401 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 7: All all those people who are having to buy cars 402 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 7: because it's saving the planet. When it gets really cold 403 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 7: and all the electricity goes out, they're not going no place. 404 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 7: They're going to watch all the people with gas cars 405 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 7: drive around and wonder, Hey, what about me? 406 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. The tesla people are going 407 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: to have the problem. But you know, the so charge 408 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: or tesla let it sit. It's true the electric cars 409 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: work like the electric stoves when the power goes out. 410 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: But I kind of have a feeling based on I'm 411 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: looking at the map here like New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana. 412 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: These these are truck people, right, I mean this is 413 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: the Deep South. So I think they'll I think they'll 414 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 2: know what to do. How many states now that are 415 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: under a state of emergency. 416 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 17: A weekend freeze is likely to make Southerners stay indoors 417 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 17: all weekend and off the roads. States of emergency are 418 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 17: also declared in South Carolina, Georgia, and Arkansas. Round function 419 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 17: News Arkansas. It's not a state that you think of 420 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 17: deep freeze and snow, but they're doing make folks in 421 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 17: the Deep South stay inside? Do they not like being 422 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 17: inside in those states? Is it something that doesn't come 423 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 17: naturally to them? I mentioned that my mother worked at a. 424 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 2: Grocery store and when I was a kid, when and 425 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 2: it was in New York, so when we had blizzards 426 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: coming like a forecast for a heavy snowfall, she said 427 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: that people would come in and buy the strangest things, 428 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 2: and among them was ice cream. And because you know, 429 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: it's the only thing that you have to you don't 430 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: have to worry about melting, is ice cream when this 431 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 2: snow everywhere, and they would just buy ice cream. And 432 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 2: it was always so interesting because you would get bored advice, 433 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 2: like no power and the kids are outside plane so 434 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 2: we were never concerned about blizzards. But like, you can't 435 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 2: eat ice cream for breakfast lane dinner, there's like other 436 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: things to eat. Why not just buy like normal food 437 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: and you don't have to clean out the grocery store 438 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: because you know it's only for a couple of days. 439 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: Holy crap, it's gonna be like that movie the day 440 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: after tomorrow. They ought to be doing collect a lot 441 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: of newspapers and hood. That's right, get up all that right, 442 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 2: that's what you DDD newspaper. Nobody nobody gets the paper anymore. 443 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 2: How are you gonna start that fire? Especially these women 444 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: that are born and raised in Huntington Beach that relocated 445 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: to Tennessee. There never gonna know how to start that fire. 446 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 447 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 2: So we're entering into award season. As you heard, the 448 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 2: nominations came out this morning. Also the Songwriter Hall of 449 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 2: Fame inductees. The names were released and it's an interesting list. 450 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: I'll give you a little preview. Taylor Swift is on 451 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: the list, and she is distinguished. Is she as the 452 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: youngest individual ever to go into the Songwriter Hall of Fame. 453 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 2: And I've always been a big fan of songwriting. It 454 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: doesn't get enough credit because everybody is, you know, be 455 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: dazzled by the performance. And performance is good. Performance is important. 456 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: I get it. And singers have talent and interpretation and 457 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 2: delivery and style and that's all worthy of recognition. But 458 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, performing someone else's work. 459 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 2: And I think I picked that up working for the 460 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: Bono family when I worked for United States Congresswoman Mary Bono, 461 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 2: and Sonny was a songwriter first, like before he performed songs, 462 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 2: he was writing songs and arranging songs. So songwriters just 463 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 2: write the lyrics. They don't necessarily even write the music. 464 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 2: Some do and some performance themselves, which is the hardest 465 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: thing ever, right, singer songwriters. That's in my mind the APEX. 466 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: So the list came out, and I want to go 467 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: through it because there are some really good songs on 468 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 2: this list and some people that are be inducted into 469 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 2: the Songwriter Hall of Fame with some frankly really bad songs. 470 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 10: Hey, Lou, just a thought. You say the weather's going 471 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 10: to be really bad, like it's going to be cold. Hmmmm, 472 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 10: Maybe I could put the stuff that needs to be 473 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 10: chilled outside. And then another thing, how are you going 474 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 10: to cook stuff? 475 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: Hmmm? 476 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 10: Maybe people have gas grills and maybe they're undercovering, and 477 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 10: maybe we can just have that frontier spirit and overcome. 478 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of these people want to 479 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: have the frontier spirit. That's why they're at the grocery 480 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: store getting milk. And you have to keep in mind 481 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 2: it's going to be raining and really really cold out 482 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: so it's a boo to go stand there in the 483 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 2: rain to go grill steaks during the largest storm to 484 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: hit this area of the country in a long time. 485 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 2: They're saying it's for half of the area that the 486 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: storm covers, it's the Great Blizzard of twenty twenty six 487 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: and they've not seen this intensity since twenty sixteen. So 488 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: it's the worst storm since twenty sixteen for the areas 489 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: that go from New England down to North Carolina, then 490 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 2: for South Carolina down to Georgia, and then all across 491 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 2: the Southern States into Texas and New Mexico. It's just 492 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: going to be a real wallop of a storm. 493 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 18: When it's really cold like that. They won't even electric 494 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 18: cars won't even charge up to fifty percent. 495 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not time for the electric car. 496 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 18: Fifty percent of the country have gas stoves and it's 497 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 18: the great way to cook, and they're trying to take 498 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 18: that away and go electric. I've had electric. It sucks. 499 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: It's terrible. Nobody likes it. In San Diego, they have 500 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 2: passed an order and it's that all new construction must 501 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: include electric stoves. Now, the good news is that they 502 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: cannot permit a single house in San Diego because it's 503 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: just too much work. This is too hard, and the 504 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: builders are like, you know what, forget it, I'm gonna 505 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: go build high end, five thousand square foot homes over here. 506 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: Building houses for you people is just impossible. But if 507 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 2: they ever do get a single residence built in the 508 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 2: city of San Diego, it won't be allowed to have 509 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 2: a guest stove. And it's impossible to cook food on 510 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: an electric stove. 511 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 4: You can use your milk to eat cereal. Come on, 512 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 4: lou where's your brain, buddy? 513 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 2: Who is eating cereal during a blizzard? Why are you 514 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 2: buying milk? Here's what you need, okay, And you don't 515 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: have to like go crazy in the grocery store. If 516 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: you're married, you're gonna need wine. If you're single, just 517 00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:01,239 Speaker 2: get beer and chill out. The most important thing you 518 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: need is a power bank for your phone. Like it's 519 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 2: snowing out, it's raining. It's crazy. You can't go on 520 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: the roads. They shut down the roads. No power, all right, Papa, 521 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 2: put a coal one and scroll through your phone until 522 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: the lineman comes. By the way. These journeyman linesmen, the 523 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 2: people that will put the lines back up, the people 524 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: that you're waiting for the people that are going to 525 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: be responsible to getting power back to your house in 526 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: this two thousand mile stretch of storm. These people make bank. 527 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 2: I'll bet you didn't know that. That's what the journeyman 528 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 2: thing is in the linesman, because you need a lot 529 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 2: more than they have, you know, at the store, at 530 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: the or you know at the place at the Arkansas 531 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: Department of Power. They probably have a couple of linesmen 532 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: because you just need a couple of linesmen. But when 533 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 2: a big storm comes and a bunch of poles go 534 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 2: down and nobody has power, and the governor just said 535 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 2: we're gonna get everybody back up and running within twenty 536 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 2: four hours, within forty eight hours, Boy oh boy, do 537 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 2: you need to sub that out to a contractor. So 538 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 2: they have like these associations, and I'll bet you they're 539 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 2: already on their way or at least on call. And 540 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: these people who know how to figure out how to 541 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 2: touch the hot wire. They always tell you see a 542 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 2: wire down, don't touch it, don't go near it, don't 543 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: touch it, don't drive over it. Somehow these guys know 544 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 2: how to touch it and they go up there. Some 545 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 2: of them have their own trucks with the you know, 546 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 2: some kind of a ladder or basket or something, and 547 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: they know how to touch it and hook it all 548 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 2: back up again and then just go to the next 549 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: pole and the next pole in the next pole, and 550 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 2: they make an unbelievable amount of money. Like that's a 551 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 2: and some of them that's all they do is work 552 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 2: winter storms in the South. After a tornado, they'll they'll 553 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: wait for a tornado and then go make a year's 554 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 2: pay in two weeks. That's how much they're paid. But 555 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 2: you gotta climb poles and touch the hot wire, so 556 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: that's the trade off. There's always a trade off, plus 557 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: the exploding trees because of the sap inside. All right, 558 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 2: when we come back, I do want to talk about 559 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 2: these songs that were entered into the Songwriter Hall of Fame. Well, 560 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: not the songs, the song writers, but it's an interesting list. 561 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: I mentioned Taylor Swift's on their Kiss is on there too, 562 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: and I liked Kiss when I was a kid. I like, 563 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 2: you know, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Now I don't 564 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 2: know who plays guitar for them these days. Ace Freelely 565 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: just died and nobody gets along with Peter Chris. But 566 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 2: they're a great band and it's a great story and 567 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: they did great things for glam rock and showbiz and 568 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 2: making a rock concert, you know, spectacular. Okay, what are 569 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: their good songs? Like they have? They have a couple 570 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 2: of catchy tunes and if you're a fan, you can 571 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 2: sing along, but those songs are not particularly deep or 572 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 2: thoughtful or poetic or really anything. And if we're talking 573 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 2: about Hall of Fame stuff, I don't know, there's got 574 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 2: to be other songwriters that are on that list. Speaking 575 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 2: of winners, who's going to be the NFL MVP. 576 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 9: For the first time?
