This is 10 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: the first show we'll be doing before Thanksgiving, our first 11 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: Sunday show, I think, and we will talk about some 12 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: comfort food. But we have an incredible guest joining us 13 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: in just a little bit, Chris Anderson, the co owner 14 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: of the legendary Shaj in Santa Monica.

Plus Zillo has revised their price forecast 19 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 2: for next year. I'm excited to see what I think 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: Gonzalez thinks about this of course, she's a real estate expert, 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: being a realtor. Is your home going to be worth 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: more next year or is it going to be worth less? 23 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 2: Is it time to bail? And what is a cousin walk? 24 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: It is a trend that has kids dipping out to 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: spend some time in nature with the trees before a 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: big Thanksgiving meal. We'll get into this, maybe you'll understand 27 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 2: why when your nephews, or your kids, or your teen 28 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: age ish young twenties members of the family leave for 29 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: a little bit before Thanksgiving meal, why they come back 30 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: and they're a lot hungrier. But I want to start 31 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: with that news you heard about at the top of 32 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: the hour, some terrible news here in Burbank. We got 33 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: to pour one out for our boy Spike. He's the 34 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: Burbank police canine that was shot and killed last night 35 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: by a guy who was pulled over. KTLA's Aaron Myers 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: was on the scene this morning reporting on what happened. 37 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: Here's the backstory. 38 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: Please say, during that stop, a passenger fled from the vehicle, 39 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: ran up the on ramp, and jumped over the freeway 40 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: embankment wall into a residential neighborhood. Officer saying they believe 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: that passenger may have been armed. Now, additional resources were 42 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: brought in to search for the passenger, while other officers 43 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: stayed with the driver at the vehicle. 44 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 4: Now. 45 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: During the search, a police canine and helicopter were used, 46 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 3: with the canine Spike finding the suspect. 47 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: Official say the suspect. 48 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: Fired multiple shots, striking Spike, then fled the area. Spike 49 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: was rushed to an emergency VET but died from his injuries. 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: Just an awful story. And I know that last night. 51 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: I was on my way home from Orange County, real 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: late at night, coming off the five Freeway, and uh, 53 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: my girlfriend and I are just looking at the map 54 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: and we're trying to figure out where how we're going 55 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: to get back to the valley. And it was a 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: it was a long trip. I mean it took like 57 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: an hour and a half to get home because there 58 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: was a crazy accident over in Downy and then as 59 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: you got up into La County, you saw that the 60 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: five Freeway was shut down, and we're like, what is 61 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: that all about? So she gets on on the Coltran's 62 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: website and starts to look and see what's going on. 63 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 2: She gets the details and goes to KTLA dot com 64 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: and find finds all that yes, indeed, the Spurbank police 65 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: canine was shot, and we didn't know at the time 66 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: how he was doing. We knew that he was being 67 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: rushed to the hospital. I think that they were going 68 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: to do surgery on him. And despite that surgery, of course, 69 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: the dog, Spike died from his injuries. Burbank Police confirmed 70 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: this morning that he didn't make it. And my my girlfriend, 71 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: who is a a patient person, I don't know if 72 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: I would say that necessarily, but I would say, like 73 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: a sweet person, a kind person, obviously loves dogs, but 74 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: is not a criminal, is not a wildly aggressive lunatic 75 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: without tequila, but looks at this and read the story 76 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 2: and immediately says, I hope they kill this guy. When 77 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: she learned that the suspect had shot this police officer dog, 78 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: this canine, she's like, oh, I'm sorry, I don't be 79 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: to say that, but I and I think that that's 80 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: the natural reactions that we care about these dogs so much, 81 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 2: we love these animals, and we just think, you know, 82 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: it's a bummer because obviously Spike didn't get to choose 83 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: to be involved in this. Spike was identified at some 84 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 2: point that he's gonna be a good police dog. And 85 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: this is what Pete will say. They say, like, the 86 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: dogs can't consent, so they just have to sort of 87 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: deal with whatever happens to them, whatever danger they get 88 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: to be put in. And I understand the argument. I mean, 89 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: I'm not a peda person, and I think that it's 90 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: incredible what these dogs do. And I think it's incredible, 91 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: you know, in some situations, obviously they do more than 92 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: what a human could do just based on their physiology. 93 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 2: But officers tried to talk to the suspect after the shooting. 94 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: They say that he wouldn't surrender. Glendale police and Swatt 95 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: moved in overnight. They tried less than lethal rounds and 96 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: at around eleven to twenty pm, the suspect started shooting back. 97 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: Officers then fired back, killing a suspect. And you know, 98 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: the Burbank police does not mess around. They are on it. 99 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: You call nine one one, they are there. There are 100 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: a lot of them. They have relatively little crime to 101 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: deal with, so when they do have it, they are 102 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: right there. Spike had just been on the job for 103 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: under two years. In a post, they said he was 104 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: an intelligent, devoted partner he had a gentle nature off duty, 105 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: and he was tenacious while serving. They asked to keep 106 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 2: Ske's handler, his family, and the Burbank PD in your 107 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: thoughts and prayers, and like I said, the peed of 108 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: people are quick to jump on things like this. They've 109 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: called for other departments in the past where situations like 110 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: this have unfortunately happened to phase out the use of canines. 111 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: But what you would replace them with is not I 112 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: don't think we're there yet with the robot dogs for 113 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: so many reasons. One, they're incredibly expensive, and I'm not 114 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: really sure if I'm ready for the police to have 115 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: robot dogs yet. I don't think I need to have 116 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 2: those roman around patrolling. That's the stuff horror movies are 117 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: made of, I think, absolutely, But it is It's tough, 118 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: you know, because I don't. I think they do a 119 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: very specific job that there's not a lot of other 120 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 2: ways to have that job accomplished. They could run far 121 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: quicker than a person. They're able to do that take 122 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: down you ever see, you ever train, you will go 123 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: to those like the canine training. That's that's a good 124 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 2: Like local news story during sweeps, I've covered those. Oh yeah, 125 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: did they have they ever you ever get attacked by one? 126 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: I did not get attacked. You put you put chicken, 127 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: you put the sleeve on or whatever they like give 128 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: you like a feeling. I love dogs so much like 129 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: if it attacked me like that, my feelings would be heard. Yeah. 130 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: You know, one of the things that the Burbank Police 131 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: Department asked for people is to of course keep the 132 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: the handler of Spikes in your thoughts and prayers. And 133 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: you know, these these dogs, they are workers. They are 134 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: considered officers. I mean even the Burbank Police and the 135 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: in the post about Spikes is and to watch Saturday 136 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: November twenty, twenty twenty five. But they're also part of 137 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: these officers family. A lot of times they go home 138 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: with them and that's their dog, it's their bud, it's 139 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: their partner. And the bond that you have with your pet, 140 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: it's very similar to the way that they're bond with 141 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: their with their working dogs. So you know that the 142 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: you know a lot I mean and really like these 143 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: dogs are in danger, but I don't think a lot 144 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: of times we're not doing stories where they're they're getting 145 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: hurt in the line of duty. But I'm sure we 146 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: will find out who the handler is. And I can 147 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: see Conway doing a thing maybe this week where they 148 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: try to send something nice to the handler. I would 149 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: I would like to do that. If I had thought 150 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: of that earlier, maybe he will do it. I don't 151 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: want to take it away from him. So uh, porn 152 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 2: went out for Spike today. Sad, sad. Situation really tough 153 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: coming up the Los Angeles Fire Department. There's a little 154 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: bit of discrepancy here because the interim chief had claimed 155 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: that they had tried to mop up and put out 156 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: that Lochlan fire Lockman fire, excuse me, that broke out 157 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 2: in the first of the year this year, the one 158 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: that everybody, at least for the most part, is blaming 159 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: for then growing into the Palisades Fire about seven days later. 160 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: But the LAFD records show that there was no sign 161 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: of putting out that fire after it smoldered again, after 162 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: it flared up again, as the interim chief had claimed. 163 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 2: We'll get into that. Plus, the first home has finally 164 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: been rebuilt after the wildfires. It is Sunday, November twenty third. 165 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: We are more than eleven months since that fire.

This is KFIAM six forty. We're 179 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 2: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App. I'm a little tired 180 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: last night. I got home very late. I went down 181 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: to Orange County to see Andrew mcmannequin. Andrew McMahon play 182 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: in a band called Jack's Mannequin. They are a southern 183 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: California band. He's from Dana Point, went to Dana Hills 184 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 2: High The band got big in the early two thousands 185 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: because of Napster called something Corporate, and so last night 186 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: was a bit of a homecoming show for the band 187 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: because it was in Anaheim at the House of Blues. 188 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 2: And man, I'll tell you what, there is nothing like 189 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: that feeling when you cross over the freeway on the five, 190 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: you going down, you cross out of La County into 191 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: Orange County and you know you're in Orange care because 192 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: it is so smooth. And you know how much it 193 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: costs for me to park at that show last night? 194 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: Four dollars, four whole dollars to park at a concert 195 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles? Are you kidding me? 196 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 5: Never? 197 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: And I do love it here. I hope that that 198 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: is that's known that I like Los Angeles, I support 199 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: LA I'm a transplant, but I've tried to make it 200 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: work for me as much as possible. I like it 201 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: for what it is. I don't try to make it 202 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 2: into what it's not. You go crazy if you do that. 203 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 2: But man, it was a much easier experience. 204 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 5: Now. 205 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 2: It took me two and a half hours to get 206 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: there because the five Freeway was a nightmare. But it 207 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: was a great show, very fun to see those songs. 208 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: Twenty years ago, a record called Everything in Transit came out. 209 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: This is mcmannequin's Andrew McMahon's record's first Jack's Mannequin record, 210 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: and it came out like the same week, or at 211 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: least it was delivered to the record label the same 212 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: week that he was diagnosed with leukemia, and so the label, 213 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: I think, thought, I don't know how we're gonna deal 214 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: with this while he's getting treatment. So he got treatment, 215 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: he got better physically, took him a couple of years, 216 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 2: he says, to get better mentally. But in the years 217 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: since twenty years now, he's had other side projects, like 218 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. There's a song called Cecilia 219 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: and the Satellite was on the radio a bit. He's 220 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: made music and toured kind of a journeyman, you know, 221 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: like really gets out there, plays shows thousand, two thousand 222 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: and three thousand person crowds, doesn't have a lot of 223 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 2: songs on the radio, but has a really dedicated group 224 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 2: of people who love him, and twenty years later also 225 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: started a foundation called deer Jack which helps young people adolescence, 226 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: the eighteen to thirty five demo with cancers, which is 227 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: a pretty un underfunded group of young people because the 228 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: good news is most you know, there's not a high 229 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: instance of cancer for people of that age demo. But 230 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: he did a great show. It was very fun. And 231 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 2: I got back to LA and I was happy to 232 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: be in LA. But I thought, man, it was so 233 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: easy to go down on a concert down there. And 234 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: speaking of Los Angeles, you might remember during the Palisades Fire, 235 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: a lot of conversation about how the Lachman fire, which 236 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: happened about a week earlier and was then put out, 237 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: eventually reignited and then spread and destroyed some thousands of 238 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 2: homes in the Pacific Palisades Together, thirteen thousand homes were 239 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 2: destroyed in both the Palisades and the Eaton fire. Back 240 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: in early January, the LA Times obtained records that call 241 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: into question the Los Angeles fired up and statements about 242 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: how thoroughly firefighters had put out that Lockman fire in 243 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: the days before it reignited into the Palisades fire. Just 244 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: back in October, the Time spoke to the interim fire chief, 245 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: who has now been replaced by Hime Moore, but the 246 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 2: interim fire chief then was Ronnie Villa Nueva, and he 247 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: said that there was an opportunity for firefighters to go 248 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: back to the burn area on January third. Remember this 249 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: is a couple days after the initial fire was put out, 250 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: there was a report of smoke, and he said that 251 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: they cold trailed an additional time. They used this word 252 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: called cold trailed, which means they used their hands and 253 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: feet or hands rather to feel for heat, and they 254 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: dig out hotspots. He said, we went back over there again. 255 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: We dug it all out again, We put ladders on it. 256 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: We did everything we could cold trail again. We did 257 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: all of that. Now, this is what he said on 258 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: October eighth. Now, the LA Time says, none of that 259 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: seems to have happened. A dispatch log that they obtained 260 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: shows firefighters arrived at the scene. They reported quickly that 261 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: they saw no smoke. They canceled the dispatch for another 262 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: engine that was on the way. It took them all 263 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: about thirty four minutes. The log does not mention cold trailing, 264 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: and as the Time says, it's unclear if Cruz did 265 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: anything else during the call because the LAFD won't respond 266 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: to them about it. The Times asked the spokesperson, Captain 267 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: Eric Scott, three ways, email, text, and in person, but 268 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: the agency did not explain the discrepancy. Vinoueva also did 269 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: not respond to an email request by the paper. Additionally, 270 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: that LAFD after action report, Now this isn't the one 271 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: that was ordered by the county that looked in the 272 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: Eaten fire. This is the one about the Palisades. It 273 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: made only a cursory reference to that Lachlan fire Lockman fire. 274 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: They also do not include any reports of smoke from 275 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: January third. They don't include a battalion chief's decision to 276 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: remove firefighters from the scene a day before, even though 277 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: he was warned that there were remaining hotspots and somebody 278 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: saw smoke. The president of the Board of Fire Commissioners says, 279 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: the after action review is exactly what we asked for. 280 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 2: The review was only supposed to cover the first seventy 281 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: two hours after the fire erupted in the Palisades. She says, quote, 282 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: it's not an investigation. It should not include things that 283 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: the newspaper seems to feel like it should be included. Okay, 284 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: there you have that fascinating new chief. I may more 285 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: people like him, A lot a lot of the reporters 286 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: like him. They said, you know the former PIO for 287 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Fire Department, which is the public Information officer, 288 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: that's the person who you go to on the scene 289 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: to try to get information from so then you can 290 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: put it in your report. He historically has been very 291 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: very good about being transparent, friendly smart. I think the 292 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: hope is that we get some kind of clarity on this. 293 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: The challenge is that it is a criminal investigation with 294 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 2: this Rendernet guy who set the fire on January first. 295 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 2: And there's a lot writing on this in terms of 296 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: the political capital, the responsibility, how much of it goes 297 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 2: to Rendernet for setting the fire, how much of it 298 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: is on the fire department for keeping those flames from 299 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: becoming another fire a week later. But I got to 300 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: give it to the Los Angeles Times here for continuing 301 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: to stay on this because, as you know, life goes on, 302 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: and I think that the people I'm not saying this 303 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: is the situation. I'm saying if you were in a 304 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 2: situation where this looked bad for you, either as a 305 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: public official elected or not, you would just hope that 306 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: eventually time would go by and people would become preoccupied 307 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 2: with other stuff. But it's good that the Los Angeles 308 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 2: Fire Department is keeping as being you know, the Los 309 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: Angeles Times rather is keeping track of all of this. Also, 310 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 2: the first home has been rebuilt after the fires. It 311 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: is an ADU. It's say, two bedroom, six hundred and 312 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: thirty square foot accessory dwelling unit in Altadena. It has 313 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 2: its certificate of occupancy given on Monday. It actually was 314 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 2: not replacing a home that burned. It replaced a garage 315 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: that burned. The primary house on the lot was not 316 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: damaged in that fire. Slow, slow build homes are springing 317 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: up all over Altadena. In the Palisades. Multiple projects, including 318 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 2: rebuilds of destroyed homes, though, are expected to be finished 319 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: in the coming weeks. So at least that that is 320 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: good some families maybe getting back into their homes for 321 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: the holidays coming up. We're talking to Chris Anderson, the 322 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 2: co owner of the legendary shayj in Santa Monica that 323 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 2: celebrated its sixty sixth anniversary in business. We're gonna ask 324 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 2: him how things are going, even though Santa Monica is 325 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: a tough place to be these days, especially for businesses. 326 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 2: I'm Andy Reesmeyer. This is the Andy Reespier Show. 327 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 328 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: This is the Andy Reestmeier Show on this Sunday, November 329 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: twenty third, just past two thirty.

Chargers have a bye week this week. 331 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: That's kind of exciting for me, I guess because I 332 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: can't be disappointed.

People could let lose, have fun, 503 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 6: tell some stories, do something they talk about the next 504 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 6: day or maybe years later. And so from there it's 505 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 6: beginning emfansy stages. It just built on itself. Yeah, and 506 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 6: then once became a brand after you know, the third 507 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 6: or fourth decade. Oh, this is something to preserve, right, 508 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 6: and we just really didn't fall the narrative. We just 509 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,959 Speaker 6: we just wanted to be a place where people can 510 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 6: hang out, have fun, leave your ego at the door, 511 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 6: and in amongst During that journey, we just so many 512 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 6: stories were created and then it just became something to preserve. 513 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 6: And in two thousand and I think it was eleven 514 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 6: ten or eleven, they of landmarking the building anyway cool 515 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 6: and so that kind of just codified that brand of 516 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 6: you know, we're here. I always call it kind of 517 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 6: like a mini museum where to preserve maybe what your 518 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 6: parents experienced in the seventies. 519 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: Well, and you think about Santa Monica and how it 520 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: for a long time was when I first moved to 521 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: LA I went to Santa Monica College in the early 522 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 2: twenty tens, and yeah, and we were right down the 523 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: street and it was kind of like the California dream 524 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: at that point. And I think it was sort of 525 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: like right before things started to get really weird. And 526 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: I remember it being a really good mix of the 527 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 2: new and old, but it really was new, Like a 528 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: lot of the building's Third Street promenade, A lot of 529 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 2: that obviously is not the way Santa Monica Monica always 530 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: was and the evolution of the city, you know, which 531 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: I think is great in a lot of ways, during 532 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 2: that time kind of took a turn. We've seen over 533 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: the last eight or nine years, crime way up, uh, 534 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: business vacancies way up, blue played oyster at your neighbor 535 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: just up the street. I thought they were never going 536 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 2: to close. They said, look, we can't do this anymore 537 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: because I mean, the promenade is not a sliver of 538 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 2: what it used to be. Yeah, how do you like? 539 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: How do you keep And every time I've been to 540 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 2: Shae j it's always popping, which which I think. You know, 541 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: do you feel like you're sort of isolated from all 542 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: the craziness or does that has that affected you? Guys? 543 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 6: I always kind of go back to what are your 544 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 6: control controllables? Yeah, and what can you not can control? 545 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 6: I can't move Shaye Jay's right, nor did I want to, right. 546 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 6: But you know, there has been a change in Santa Monica. 547 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 6: I hope this is just kind of a down down 548 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 6: period and we're able to figure it out and move 549 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 6: in the right direction. My dad, when he moved there, 550 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 6: he always called Santa Monica the sandy little beach town, 551 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 6: and it was just so cool because people would hang 552 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 6: out there, come to the beach, relax and enjoy the 553 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 6: senior and activities there. And in terms of Shayj's, we've 554 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 6: just focused on we seem to always attract great people 555 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 6: and customers and patrons, and you know, we want to 556 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 6: be a place where conversation is still rich. You know, 557 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 6: phones are not out. It's a small shotgun room kind 558 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 6: of style, and the bar is small and everyone's kind 559 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 6: of squeezed together. And I believe if we maintained that, 560 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 6: we will always attract the individuals that you know, that 561 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 6: we're looking for and that want to have a good 562 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 6: time and are not concerned, are not participating in the 563 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 6: things that we're not happy about. 564 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: Talking right now with Chris Anderson, who's the co owner 565 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: of SHAJ with his with his dad, you guys have 566 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 2: been in this family business for a long time.

First of all, 596 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: it's a crazy thing to do sixty six years of anything, 597 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: but it was. It was packed and had so many people. 598 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 2: They are telling stories about their old times at Shaj 599 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: and their memories that they've had, of course, and I think, 600 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,959 Speaker 2: what I want to do, actually, Nikki, if we can 601 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: do this, let's open up the phone lines. Give us 602 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 2: a call one hundred five to zero one five three four, 603 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 2: one in hundred five two zero one KFI. Tell us 604 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 2: your shay J story one in hundred five to zero 605 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 2: one five three four And if you don't have a 606 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: Shaj story, make one up. Go tonight, get yourself a 607 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 2: shay J. Still sorry, go ahead. You said you have 608 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: a great relationship with the city, and you did the 609 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 2: sixty sixth anniversary. 610 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, so we want to do the sixty fifth, and 611 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 6: we ran out of time. So someone came up and said, hey, 612 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 6: why don't you do the sixty six? They rid sixty 613 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 6: six ended right there, and I wanted to kind of 614 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 6: pay homage to the people that have worked their customers 615 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 6: and my dad and so. But part of that is 616 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 6: it feels like Santa Monica has been in a funk. 617 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 6: There's not a lot of exciting things going on. Events, 618 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 6: they're trying to revitalize that. So I thought if we 619 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,239 Speaker 6: could do something that I mean, I think we had 620 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 6: like thirteen hundred people show up, and so if we 621 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 6: could do something that kind of gets some excitement in 622 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 6: the city. That was one of my big goals for 623 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 6: this event. And I think we can turn it around 624 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 6: because we have the geography, location, it's a pretty city. 625 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 6: We can easily fix it. The infrastructure is there. 626 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 2: There's no reason Santa Monica should not be exceeding in 627 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 2: every possible way. Should be the top of the list. 628 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 2: It has everything going for it. It's got history, it's 629 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 2: got the views, it's got the weather. We were talking 630 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 2: about this before. You know how it's good that the 631 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 2: La Times is keeping people accountable in local government as 632 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 2: far as it comes to the fire. You know, they're 633 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 2: staying on it because a lot of us we just 634 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 2: sort of get into the day to day and we 635 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: forget about all this stuff. And I think you had 636 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 2: an incredible observation which I am going to steal, but 637 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 2: you say it might be the fault of the weather. Yeah, 638 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: the weather curse. 639 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 5: Right. 640 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 6: You know, we get upset about something for about ten 641 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 6: to fifteen days and then you see that sunset or 642 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 6: that perfect you know, climb in and that air is 643 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 6: just you start forgetting about it, which you know it's 644 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 6: it's not great, but we need we should fix things. 645 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 6: We should, you know, focus on making sure that the 646 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 6: streets are safe, yeah, clean, and all the businesses will 647 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 6: come back. 648 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 2: It'll thrive naturally once you have that.
