1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, I'm Chris.

00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: Merrill camp I AM six forty on demand anytime and

3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: the iHeart Radio app or talkback tonight. What is a

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: show you would love to see rebooted after the Warner

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: Brothers deal, whether that's with Netflix or Paramount. I was

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: feeling pretty good about this question, to be honest, until

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: Andy Reesemeyer throat ALF and then I thought, well, I

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: just went downhill fast.

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: I don't think that was on anyone's being go hard. No, no,

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: no one would say that.

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: App No, No, that was interesting. It's messed up. I

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: got a couple that I think are are pretty solid

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: choices and would love to hear yours as well. If

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, phit that talkback button,

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: let us know once it's all all the dust is settled.

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: What's what's the show you'd love to see rebooted on

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: the new streamer whatever it is, Warner Netflix, Warner Paramount,

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: whatever that is. You know. The one that always comes

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: to mind is Scrubs. But they just they just rebooted

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: that again, and actually after they tried to reboot it,

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, Scrubs ran for ten seasons. After nine seasons,

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: it was basically done and then they rebooted it and

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: it the tenth season was horrible. It was just, I

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: mean really bad, really bad. So I was like, Okay, well,

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna let that one. We're gonna let that one go.

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: But I always see they're rebooting that one again too,

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: So that's happening.

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 4: Can I vote for the X Files?

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes?

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: Missed that one.

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: How would you reboot that? Would you do it with

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: same people? Yeah? Would you do same people? Or would

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: you have new people but have them in? It's like,

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I I think new people they're a

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: bit older, have to have a tie back to Mulley

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: and Scold. Scolder and Mulley Boulder older and Scully.

37
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they could still be in it, but right,

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 5: maybe like the juniors come in and yeah, take over.

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, just some way to break us into it, right,

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: so we come back to something familiar, but then grow

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: familiarity with the new ones. That's why I'm thinking.

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: But I think the Smoking Man he's not around anymore.

43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I didn't watch Did you watch it?

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: You do?

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 6: Well?

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: No, No, I didn't watch it. No, I knew all about

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: it. It was huge when I was in college. Yeah, good

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: for you, that's awesome. I stayed away from all sci fi,

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: and then about ten years ago I was like, you know,

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: I started getting into some different sci fi. There's still

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: some of it. It's just a little too much, too

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: over the top. Give me Star Trek, give me Star Wars,

53
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: me X Files.

54
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 4: I'm happy.

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: I'm down with all those. I'm done with all those

56
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: fantasy stuff usually not my bag. I did like Game

57
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: of Thrones, but I haven't watched any of the spinoffs.

58
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: The fantasy stuff just typically.

59
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: Is not so good.

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: Cayla, You are right.

61
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: Game of Thrones was so good.

62
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So have you watched any of the spinoffs?

63
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 3: The spinoffs have been very disappointing so far. I just

64
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: can't get into it. I just I like this reboot question.

65
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: But sometimes I think things are better left untouched because

66
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: they come back and they ruined it a lot of

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: the times.

68
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a lot of value in that brand,

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: and if you screw it up right, Yeah, in.

70
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 4: The city really disappointing with him just like that.

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh me too, Oh yeah that. Yeah, I can't

72
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe what they did. And they had that

73
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: that one episode where the guy did the thing and

74
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: then the girls were like, can you believe he did

75
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: that thing? And then they were like, oh, well, maybe

76
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: we should look at it, and then yeah, yeah, and

77
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: they all slept together in the end. Yeah I can't

78
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: That was like, oh, okay, all right that I can't

79
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: believe that. Yeah, yeah, all right. So we'll get your

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: thoughts on the talk back on that one. I did

81
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: happen to see this week. Uh, there's a story that

82
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: the La Times had and another study came out. I

83
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: don't know who did this global traffic scorecard from Inricks

84
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: transportation analytics firm. You see their name pop up on

85
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: uh like live traffic data. You know. I think, I

86
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: don't know ways is catching some of their data, but

87
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: I see it pop up on some of the maps

88
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: and things like that. Right, So Inrix is pretty credible.

89
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: So they keep pretty close tabs on what the traffic

90
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: is doing. And we got better ish, but it's not

91
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: enough to make you feel like, ooh, great roads are

92
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: wide open combo of remote work and empty buildings downtown

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: means fewer commuters are causing gridlock. Well, that's great. So

94
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: we went from the eighth worst city in the world

95
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: to the tenth worst city in the world.

96
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 6: Woo.

97
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: Average driver in the region spends about eighty seven hours

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: a year in traffic. That's more than two work weeks

99
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: in traffic. Oh. I have this ongoing debate with my

100
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: wife all the time about where to live. I go,

101
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: we gotta live close to work to live, She goes, Oh,

102
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: it's so expensive whenever you're close to your job. It's

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: so expensive. And I go, doesn't matter. Whatever we gotta do.

104
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: We got to figure out how to get closer to work,

105
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: because I do not. My commute right now is twelve

106
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: minutes and I love it. Twelve minutes during rush hour,

107
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: and I do get on some of the surface streets

108
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: that get backed up, but only you know, only for

109
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: a short amount of time. So I guess my drive

110
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: home is a little bit longer, like fifteen I drive

111
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: in is like twelve surface streets. The way to go,

112
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: absolutely the way to go. Compared to other major cities,

113
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: LA ranks fourth worst for congestion. We are behind New York,

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: Chicago and Philadelphia. I would also say this, and many

115
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: of you will probably disagree with me, Oh, that's fine.

116
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: We're nicer drivers than the people in those towns. There's

117
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: just more of us on their own. I mean, congestion

118
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: is terrible, but I mean New York, Chicago and Philadelphia,

119
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: and those are the cities where they just honk at

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: you non stop. Just get over yourselves. Oh maybe if

121
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: I honk my horn on the the traffic will part

122
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: and I'll be able to cruise across. It doesn't work

123
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: that way. So one of the concerns that the city

124
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: has is they're going, hey, great, our traffic is getting

125
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: slightly better. Last year we spent eighty eight hours in traffic.

126
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: This year only eighty seven. But the concern, of course,

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: has to do with that overall economy. We have people

128
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 2: who are moving out calax it. We've got people working

129
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: from home. That's great, but when people are working from home,

130
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: they're not spending their money at the delis, the beast

131
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: Rows and things like that that are nearby. And then

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: you've got high vacancy rate. Downtown. The vacancy rate is

133
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: thirty four percent. That's crazy, thirty four percent, So one

134
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: third of the buildings are empty. Wow, that is technically

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: an improvement from last year, but not great for comparison,

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: and this is a times again for comparison. Century cities

137
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: vacancy rate thirteen percent. So you see one area popping

138
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: downtown pooping. See what I did there? See what I

139
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: did with that killer? Are you taking notes? That's that's

140
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: veteran broadcasting.

141
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: I'm actually trying to forget that was popping to poop.

142
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: And you see how I made that. I used a

143
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: little bit of a literation.

144
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: It wasn't your best.

145
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: Side of on a monopoia in there. I did that perfect.

146
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't have that kind of skill.

147
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: A lot of people work decades just to get to

148
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: that point.

149
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: But that's why you are where you are.

150
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is,

151
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: all right. So you got driving in southern California's frustrating

152
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: even though we're quote unquote better, but it doesn't feel

153
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: that way, and everybody thinks that the study is full

154
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: of crap. I also don't know how it is that

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: we How are we so bad? Have you seen shots

156
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: from like Singapore and India where it's everybody on motorscrewters

157
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: crashing into oxen in the middle of the road. I

158
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: mean that stuff is wild. I don't know how that

159
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: somehow rates better than us, but I guess it does.

160
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: So we know driving is frustrating. There's a hero, however,

161
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: who's willing to do with the rest of us, aren't.

162
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: He's the hero we need, but not the hero we deserve.

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: This dark night is making parking personal. Next, Chris Merrill.

164
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

165
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 6: Mother.

166
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: I'm Chris Merril. It's KFI AM six forty more stimulating

167
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: talk our talkback question tonight, What is the show you'd

168
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: like to see the new Warner Brothers Netflix or Warner

169
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: Brothers Paramount, whatever it is. What would you love to

170
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: see rebooted? Reboots are all the rage. Most of them suck,

171
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: but every now and again you get a dandy I was.

172
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: I pitched this out to evening anchor Mark Ronner this

173
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: week and he said he wanted to see Hannibal rebooted.

174
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: I thought that was a good answer, and then he

175
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: turned me out too, a show that I hadn't seen before,

176
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: and he was telling me on Friday night, he said,

177
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: you have to watch Warrior. It's on Netflix. I think

178
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: it was originally an HBO Max show. So I put

179
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: that in my put that in my list. I watched

180
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: the first the opening scene, and I thought, this looks good,

181
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: and then I went back to trying to catch up

182
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: on Stranger Things. But he says, h Warrior and Hannibal,

183
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: all right, what is the what is the show you'd

184
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: like to see rebooted?

185
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 7: Hey, Chris, great question. How about we bring back cart

186
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 7: Saturday Morning cartoons? I know, I know, only cartoons nowadays

187
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 7: are relatives. Well, how about the Three Stooges. I've always

188
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 7: loved them growing up. I miss the cartoons though, like

189
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 7: Super Choke, your Chicken in head, I mean Super Chicken

190
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 7: and Fred stuff like that.

191
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: Oh good old everybody's a comedian, aren't they. Yak yack, yuck, yuck.

192
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: I don't think the I don't think the Stooges would

193
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: work as a reboot. I think that when it came

194
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: out and whatever it was, the thirties, forties, whatever that was,

195
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think you could. I don't think

196
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: you could do it today because I think that the

197
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: special effects would be lacking, and we all go, Okay,

198
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: that's just it doesn't have enough homph to it.

199
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: But I think he's onto something with the Saturday Morning cartoons.

200
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 3: I've been going down to Scooby Doo and pop Peye Wormhole.

201
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: Did you just call him pot Pie pop Peye, that spinach, Yeah,

202
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: that pot Pie, pop Pie, whatever his name is, you

203
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: know the guy.

204
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: It's good shot pot Pie and olive oil. That's great, ye,

205
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: very good.

206
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 6: Hey, Chris, what I would like to see where booted

207
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 6: is Henry Cavell back is a Superman and I like

208
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 6: well to the Justice League movie from Zack Snyder. Oh,

209
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 6: James Gunn is just you know, taking this in the

210
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: wrong direction. And the New Superman movie was awful.

211
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.

212
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: As far as TV shows, I'm not sure, but definitely

213
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 6: that all right?

214
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: All right, later later I liked I liked Henry cavill

215
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 2: as Superman too, I did. I liked that. I like

216
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: James Gunn's vision better though, so I'm just gonna respectfully disagree.

217
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: But no reason you can't say that that's fantastic. All right,

218
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: What is it you'd like to see rebooted? If you're

219
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: on the app, just sit that talk back button. Let

220
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: us know what is a show you'd love to see rebooted?

221
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: I still have I will reveal to you my brilliant ideas. Yea,

222
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: it was already shaking her head because she knows it's

223
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: not gonna be that good.

224
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: It's just not I can guarantee it.

225
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm basically known for my let downs in my notes

226
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: at just a little bit. All right, He's not the

227
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: hero that we deserve, but he's the hero we need.

228
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 6: Well.

229
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: He may not be the Dark Knight, he may not

230
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: be Bruce Wayne. He's cone Man. Yes, coneman from KKEL.

231
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 5: Joey Morales, aka the self proclaimed cone King, is on

232
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: patrol tonight in South LA.

233
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: It's definitely looks like a city code.

234
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 5: Looking for the bright orange pylons locals used to try

235
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 5: and save parking spaces so he can grab them and

236
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 5: free up the spot.

237
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 8: Yes, I started this about early twenty twenty three is

238
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 8: when I fully started going in with it. And I

239
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 8: want to say I've at least removed over five thousand

240
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 8: cones off of Los Angeles streets.

241
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: What how many of you are stealing cones to try

242
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: to set up a parking spot that isn't yours.

243
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 5: It's against city code to use anything to block the

244
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 5: street if you don't have a permit to do so.

245
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 5: Residents can call three one one to report it. But

246
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 5: you can imagine how effective that is.

247
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: It's not so.

248
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 5: It has become his unusual hobby as a vigilante parking

249
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: enforcement officer to confiscate the cones himself, my stemming from

250
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 5: his own struggles to find street parking lot and.

251
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: All of our struggles to find street parking.

252
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 8: People would say it was a Karen move.

253
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: It's a Karen move. Is that what he said? I

254
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: think it's a Karen move to put the cones out there.

255
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 8: It is, But I mean, at the end of the day,

256
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 8: you can't take up a public spark parking spot and

257
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 8: assume that just because it's in front of your house

258
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 8: it belongs to you.

259
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wholly agree with him. That's the Karen move.

260
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: In my opinion, moving the cones, that's not a Karen move.

261
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: That's just doing what's right. Karen's the one that decides

262
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: the street belongs to her, and she's also the one's

263
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: gonna come out and probably yell at him and be like,

264
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: you don't have any right to touch my cones.

265
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 5: He records himself taking back the streets, and with more

266
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: than twenty thousand social media followers, he's become a robin

267
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 5: hood of parking, reclaiming open curb space from those he

268
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: sees as entitle He even takes requests now to come

269
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 5: to get the oh I have.

270
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: He's like uber for cone removal, over.

271
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 8: Three thousand messages that I get on a weekly basis.

272
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 8: Oh residents here in South Los Angeles that are having

273
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 8: the same issue with everybody?

274
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: Wait, why you call it? Just do it yourself. He

275
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: should be an inspiration.

276
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 5: Lots of them are La doot or public works property.

277
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 5: He returns those to the city. But as we saw tonight,

278
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 5: not everyone likes what he's doing.

279
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sure you're gonna hear from somebody screaming at him.

280
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: But how much of our city budget goes to replacing

281
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: cones that some d bag steals so that they can

282
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: go save a parking spot? What is our cone budget?

283
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: Hey?

284
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: Boss?

285
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 8: You know it's illegal to place up a cone down

286
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 8: a public street.

287
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: So it's against city.

288
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 8: Section cold fifty six point twelve to illegally place cones

289
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 8: on a public street.

290
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: Still, Elliott, you can't.

291
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: Touch my property that I rightfully stole from the dot

292
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: in the first place.

293
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 7: Is cone?

294
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: King is undeterred. He sees it as feeling a need

295
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 5: that is only growing.

296
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 8: I don't show up to an area unless I've been

297
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 8: requested to be in that area. So if I'm showing up,

298
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 8: it's because multiple people in that area have already contacted

299
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 8: me and the city has done absolutely nothing about it.

300
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: You think this guy's packing, really? I mean that's dangerous.

301
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: You're out there dealing with some unhinged people in the world.

302
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: I mean, at the very least, guy's gotta have some

303
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: pepper spray or something.

304
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: Right, Well, you could hope so for a safety or

305
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: he could just fight really well, one or the other.

306
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: I bet he has nunchucks.

307
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: Everybody is part of the problem.

308
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: Is everybody should have nun chucks, Kayla, every single one

309
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: of us.

310
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: South LA, where he lives is a lot of families

311
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 5: moved in together during COVID combined with a continuing lack

312
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 5: of affordable housing. Right, it means a lot of people

313
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: with a lot of cars in a condensed space.

314
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. So what gives you the right

315
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: to say that you can take it, but the person

316
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: next to you can?

317
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: In South La?

318
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: On Lori peiz Paris.

319
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: Drives me nuts. Somebody use somebody? What is that?

320
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 6: Is it?

321
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: Me, Is it more of me? I don't know where's

322
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: that echo coming from? Kaila? That's not me? Is it?

323
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: I think my computer's glitching is.

324
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I got you? Uh where was I? Oh?

325
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: He's my hero. Hate it when you put cones out.

326
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: That is a huge pet peeve. Like people they don't

327
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: return their shopping carts to the cart corral. How hard

328
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: is that? It's very rude of you not to do that, Like, oh,

329
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: but I'm busy. Oh but what if I have to

330
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: leave my baby in the car while I walk across

331
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: the parking spot. No, no, just do it. And the

332
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: other pet peeve I have when it comes to parking

333
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: is the people who park wherever they want, but then

334
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: they throw on their emergency flashes like it's some sort

335
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: of get out of jail free card. No, you turn,

336
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: emergency flashers are not a secret parking hack. You don't

337
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: get to just put your your flashers on. I learned

338
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 2: that one in college. People used to do that. In college.

339
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: They they park right in front of the dorm where

340
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: it was like, this is a fire lane. They go, yeah,

341
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: but if I put my emergency flashers on, surely I

342
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: won't get towed. So you can imagine my delight when

343
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: I used to look out my window and see that

344
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: tow truck coming out, and they would the dorm would

345
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: about once a month. They must have called like four

346
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: or five different parking towing companies and they go get

347
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 2: them out of here, and they all show up at

348
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: the same time. They toll like six eight cars. Just

349
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: back it right up, tow it right out of there.

350
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: But I hit my flashers on. I hope your battery dies,

351
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: and I also hope your cat misses the litter box.

352
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: All right, what's the show you'd like to see? The

353
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 2: new Warner Brothers slash Netflix or Warner Brothers slash Paramount reboot.

354
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: We'll get your ideas. I've got a few of my own.

355
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 2: Those are next Chris Merrill, as well as the Lawmakers

356
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: law Breakers of the times that there ought to be

357
00:17:59,760 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 2: a law.

358
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

359
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 2: Chris Merrill. I am six forty more stimulating talk and

360
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: on demand anytime on the iHeartRadio app. So we asked

361
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: the question, what is the show you would like to see?

362
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: So last week when we were talking, it was Netflix

363
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: won the bid to take Warner Brothers, and then the

364
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: next day it was Paramount is attempting a hostile takeover

365
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 2: of Warner Brothers. So we still know how this is

366
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: going to shake out. Most people in the industry are

367
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: not happy about any of these options. I think most

368
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: people in the industry want to see more studios. The

369
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: consolidation means fewer jobs, right, that's a concern. And also

370
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: consolidation means less competition. With less competition, not only are

371
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: their fewer jobs, the quality of the work or the

372
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: creatives suffer. At least that's the concern going into it.

373
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: The business side is money, So what is it that

374
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: you would like to see them reboot? One is a

375
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: bankable reboot. Here are my two And I'm curious if

376
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: you have any mind Hunter? Did you see that on Netflix?

377
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 2: Mind Hunter was fantastic. It was kind of the development

378
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: of the the FBI's psychological profiling team, and nobody believed

379
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: it at the time. They go, what do you why

380
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: do you want to talk to these guys? They're all

381
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 2: they're crazy murderers. You know, you don't want to talk

382
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: to them. They go, we got to figure out what

383
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 2: make some tick? And it was so well done, so

384
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: well done, and it ended after I think just two seasons,

385
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: and we all were kind of going, where's the next season?

386
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: And it never happened. Another one that I think only

387
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: got I think it only got two seasons was the

388
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: Santa Clarita Diet. Did you see that, Drew Barrymore, Timothy Olafant, Oh,

389
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 2: I just got the I got the look. You didn't

390
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: like that. I thought that show was so much fun.

391
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 4: It was not good.

392
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: Did you say you don't think people give up?

393
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: No, said, I don't even think I was able to

394
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: finish it.

395
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: Oh, finish it? I thought you said give it?

396
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, people give up.

397
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: I thought it was so funny. It was kind of

398
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: a campy, fun zombie movie.

399
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll give it a rewatch, but at the time

400
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: I wasn't filling it.

401
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: And Nathan Fillion was in it too. Oh yeah, played

402
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: a dismembered head. It was wonderful. It was great. It

403
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 2: was like campy zombie. It was so much fun. I

404
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: really enjoyed it. It won't come back, it is my vibe.

405
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: It was actually comedy horror done well, which I told

406
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: you is so hard to do, so I was it was.

407
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: It was right up my Alley. But then I you know,

408
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: everybody that was involved in that has moved on and

409
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 2: had pretty good careers afterwards. So I don't see it

410
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: getting rebooted. But man, would I love to see that

411
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 2: one come back. All right, what is it? If you're

412
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app hit that talk back, what is

413
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: it you'd like to see rebooted?

414
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 9: Chris marril, I absolutely agree with you about California drivers.

415
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 9: They are the best.

416
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we were talking about California traffic is supposedly better,

417
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: but we're better now. We're the what is it, the

418
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: fourth worst in Chicago. In the US, We've got New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,

419
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: And I said, but the problem is those drivers are

420
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: all rude. They're all really rude. And while we have

421
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: a ton of congestion, and sure there's roadreach here, it's

422
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 2: not it's not the angst kind of driving that I

423
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 2: see in other big cities.

424
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 9: I learned how to drive in California, but when I

425
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 9: moved to Saint Louis, there are cars and ditches. They

426
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 9: go off the highway all the time. They're horrible drivers here,

427
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 9: and they don't call them freeways here. They call them highways. Anyway,

428
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 9: miss California.

429
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: Oh I'm sorry. Well, we miss you too. Thank you

430
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: for listening though, do appreciate that. All right, what is

431
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: it you want to see rebooted? Okay, I got a

Speaker 2: great one for you.

433
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: How about a reboot of Lavernon Shirley set in the eighties.

434
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go.

435
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 4: I'm here for Lavernon Shirley.

436
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,440

447
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,880

Speaker 2: then he took off the Peru. Well, Interpol caught up

468
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: to him and Carmen San Diego brought him to justice.

469
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: And so now he's coming back and he's going to

470
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 2: face his crimes. In the meantime, wild stuff happening in

471
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: Hammett for maybec seven.

472
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 11: It was more than four months ago that Redlands Police

473
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 11: served a search warrant at an address on Pleasant Street

474
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 11: in Hemet. The location connected to a religious group known

475
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 11: as His Way spirit Led Assemblies as part of an

476
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 11: investigation into the disappearance of Emilioganum, who'd recently left that

477
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 11: organization but went missing after meeting up with someone at

478
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 11: a Redlands coffee shop back in twenty twenty.

479
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: Oh there you are today. Oh, I got out of

480
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: the colt then I thought I'd have a cup of coffee. Hey.

481
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 11: Two people were arrested at that same Hemmett location. Forty

482
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 11: three year old Rudy Moreno, who is now facing murder

483
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 11: charges as well as charges for various weapons violations, also

484
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 11: arrested someone by the name of Daryl.

485
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: Martin, someone by the name. I love it when they

486
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 2: said that someone by the name of Daryl Martin. How

487
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: about uh. Also arrested Darryl Martin. No, it's someone by

488
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: the name of.

489
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 11: Who is also facing murder charges. A Redlands police spokesperson

490
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 11: saying this about Martin in an interview a few months ago.

491
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 11: Daryl Martin is the pastor and Kat Martin is his wife,

492
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 11: is known as the Prophetess. This is video all the

493
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 11: organization's YouTube page of one of Catherine Martin's sermons from

494
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 11: several years ago. Besides the missing person Emili o'ganem, another

495
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 11: member of the organization was reported missing in Claremont back

496
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 11: in twenty nineteen.

497
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: Oh boy, and in Coulton, a four year old boy.

498
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 11: No it was in the custodys of that religious organization

499
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 11: was found dead from come on.

500
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: Now, we got dead kids in this too. I don't

501
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: like the dead kids.

502
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 11: Dulton police saying they originally sought involuntary manslaughter charges against

503
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 11: two people for child neglect for failing to seek medical attention,

504
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 11: but the DIA's office did not file charges because of

505
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 11: insufficient evidence. Those two people Catherine Martin, known as the Prophetess,

506
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 11: and her husband Daryl Martin, a guy by.

507
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: The name of Darryl Martin. I always, geld, I always

508
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: feel bad about this whole cult thing because it's really

509
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 2: easy from the outside looking into wonder how people get

510
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: wrapped up in it. But I've seen the documentaries on it.

511
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: I guess, I guess you just kind of go down

512
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: the rabbit hole and all of a sudden, the next

513
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: thing you know, you're, you know, sacrificing chill or something.

514
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. What it is. It's a I don't

515
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: get it, man, I don't get it. I hope to

516
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: God nobody in my family ever falls preytos koops. I

517
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: think we all do all right. One of the dirtiest

518
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 2: places on Earth suddenly looks like a watery oasis straight

519
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: out of pre history. It's a forgotten world that hasn't

520
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: been seen by human eyes in tens of thousands of

521
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: years until now. Where you can see it is next

522
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: Chris Merrill.

523
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

524
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: We asked the question, what's the show you'd like to see?

525
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: The new Warner Brothers Netflix or Warner Brothers Paramount reboot.

526
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 2: We got your answers queued up here from the talkback,

527
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: and you don't always hit us up on that talk

528
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: back if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. Before we

529
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: get to that, though, I did want to bring this up.

530
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: It's like we're taking a trip back to the prehistoric days.

531
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: It's a light that existed more than one hundred and

532
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: thirty thousand years ago when the ice the Sierra Nevada.

533
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: The lake was one hundred miles long six hundred feet deep,

534
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: but today it is the Mohave Desert that from La Times.

535
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 2: What I'm interested in, though, is that what is known

536
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: as Lake Manly has made a return, basically because we

537
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: had a ton of rainfall September through November. It has

538
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: brought the lake back. You might imagine it's not in

539
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: fact six hundred feet deep any longer. It's more like

540
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: one feet deep. But by God, the lake is there.

541
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 2: So if you are looking for a little you know, getaway,

542
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: you can sa about the Death Valley and go see

543
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: this Lake Manly. Otherwise, when else do you go to

544
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: Death Valley? If you're one of the weirdos, you go

545
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: out there when it's like, oh, Death Valley could hit

546
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty degrees, they go, oh, I got

547
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: to go be a part of this. Whoa man, I

548
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: haven't nearly died of he'd exhaustion in a while. It's

549
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: good at Death Valley everybody. But now you can actually

550
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: go and taking a lake that wasn't there. It did

551
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: show up briefly after Hurricane Hillary in twenty twenty three,

552
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: and then it receded in February twenty twenty four. They

553
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: said the deepest then was three feet, so they said

554
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: today it's not even close to that. So anyway, but

555
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: it's there, one giant mud puddle, and you know what,

556
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: just for giggles, take a kayak, because why not? Why

557
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: not if you're going just go take a kayak? Just

558
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: imagine that one hundred and fifty thousand years ago fishing there.

559
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm guessing I don't know. I wasn't there. Hey, Chris, Oh,

560
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: this is from Talkbacks. What's the show you'd like to

561
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: see rebooted? Hey, Chris, love the show.

562
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 12: It's always entertaining. Two shows i'd love to see rebooted,

563
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 12: but probably would be poorly done.

564
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: The Twilight Zone.

565
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 12: I just don't think we have the riders capable to

566
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 12: make that kind of masterpiece again. And also I think

567
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 12: Three's Company would be kind of cool to keep up

568
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 12: the great work.

569
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm a knock on our door. Didn't Jordan

570
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: Poole re reboot The Twilight Zone?

571
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: Children?

572
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: Peel? Yeah, Peel, I'm sorry, Jordan Pool was. Yeah, he's

573
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: a different guy. Jordan Peel did. Yeah. I thought he

574
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: did a good job on that. I like what I

575
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: saw of it. I'd like to see it come back,

576
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: do a little bit more. Let's see a little bit

577
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: more Jordan Peel, Let's do a little more.

578
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 13: Chris Merrill's show is absolutely huh horrific.

579
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: Horrific.

580
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 13: Makes sense. They are barely paying him a living wage,

581
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 13: while ratings be damned. He marches on.

582
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: Yes, Chris, how are you living out there? Are you okay?

583
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: You're supposed to read those out so I never have

584
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: to hear them.

585
00:29:54,600 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 4: I literally tried. You don't listen to me. No, there's that.

586
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: I got this one earlier this week.

587
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: Here, you, sir, are an idiot.

588
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 6: You're off the radio.

589
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love those two.

590
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: I want to tell you that I think you are

591
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 4: the most amazing host. You are one of my days.

592
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 6: And whenever I hear that you are going to be

593
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 6: on the show, I get very happy. Makes my day.

594
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 4: You're a great guy. Don't never doubt yourself.

595
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: Thank you. You hear that, Kayla? She sounds hot too.

596
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 3: She sounds super hot, and she sounds perfect for the

597
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 3: holiday season.

598
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 4: That's the spirit right there.

599
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: I like that.

600
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: I like her.

601
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: That's very good. While I'm crying in my cheerios, all right,

602
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: what's what's the show you'd like to see rebooted? After

603
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: we have the new Warner Brothers Netflix or Warner brothers,

604
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: paramount or who knows? Are we even sure somebody else

605
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: is going to try to swoop in and do a

606
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: different hostile takeover on this. I mean, this is far

607
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: from settled.

608
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 14: Right, remake of You Turn? Jennifer Lopez is still hot.

609
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 14: She could play that big time, no problem that. Bob

610
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 14: Thornton wouldn't have to change a thing. He could be

611
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 14: the slob in the uh the garage, the car garage.

612
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 14: I don't know about Sean Penn, and he'd be driving

613
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 14: an electric car from his twenty million dollar mansion telling

614
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 14: us all to drive our electric cars or ride bikes.

615
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: So we'll see. But you turn, you turn? Did you

616
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: see I never saw that. Did you see your turn? No?

617
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 4: But Jennifer Lopez is still pretty hot.

618
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, she's right, come back and do it. He's right,

619
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: he is right.

620
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 4: When you're right, you're right.
