00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Joji Cat paint the town red here one or two

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: point seven. It's Kiss FM, Los Angeles. Thanks for having

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: us on this morning, Ryan Sea Christ with you sis

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Andy Tanya. Have you heard people say that Beverly Hills

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: has become a ghost town. I've been hearing more and

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: more about that, and we started looking at why people

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: are saying that, Like, why are you hearing that? Because

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: it is a When before I ever came to Los Angeles,

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: all I wanted to do is take a picture in

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: front of the sign, right right in front of the

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills sign right there, which I still.

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Have never done. And I see people taking pictures in

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: front of it every now and then. I'm like, I

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: want to get out of the car and go do that.

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: Well, put it on your bucket list, get it.

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: I think that the Hollywood Sign, all that stuff.

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: A lot of tourists, a lot of businesses, a lot

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: of the glamour businesses are closing or moving out.

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: Right yeah, and they're not replacing them with new businesses.

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: And it's kind of wild when you go down the

21
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: list of some of these high end stores Barney's New

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: York for example, Chanelle and even just like random ones

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: like Rite Aid, Barnes and Noble, Nike Town, and restaurants

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: like Chipotle, Starbucks all gone. And a lot of it

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: maybe was, you know, because of the pandemic and they

26
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: didn't recover, but a lot of it is because they're

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: dealing with these smash and grab robberies, right, And that's

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: just a bum deal that this is something that our

29
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: entire city is dealing with. The flash mob burglaries are

30
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: large coordinated groups, as we know, that come into these

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 2: stores and you just don't realize that it's happening before

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: it's already happened, and there's nothing that any of these

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: employees or even security guards can do because there's so

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: many of them. Sometimes there's twenty thirty that all come

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: in and grab what they can grab and leave and

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: flee in multiple cars. And you know, the city is

37
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how they can figure out some

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: sort of task force and whatnot. But it's we're starting

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: to see the effects now in beautiful cities like Beverly

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: Hills because they're just like, we're not going to deal

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: with them, We're shutting our doors.

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Well, you look at downtown areas like San Francisco too, exactly.

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: I remember I lived up there for a little while

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: and I was working on a radio station in the

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: Bay Area, and I lived downtown where it was bustling,

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: and you know, all the shops were active, all the

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: restaurants were active, and you're seeing this kind of thing

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: happened in San Francisco in some places as well. But

49
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: if you have family coming into town and all they've

50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: ever wanted to do was go to Beverly Hills and

51
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: see the Beverly Hills they've seen in the movies, it's

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: not quite that it's what you're saying, no, but it is.

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: Kind of like I remember, at the height of this happening,

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: specifically in Beverly Hills, I went and I got Michael

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: something from a store there for our anniversary, and I

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: was actually worried to leave the store with the shopping

57
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: bag of that store because of a feeling. Yeah, it

58
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: was because it was a marked bag of the store,

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: and so I almost told that. I was like, oh,

60
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: I parked in a parking lot down there and this

61
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: and that, and the guy at the store told, Oh,

62
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: don't worry, we give you guys white bags to put

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: it inside. And I was like, that is so sad

64
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: that that's what it's come to, that we have to

65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: actually cover up the shopping bag of the store that

66
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: we're buying it from.

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: As a reality. I mean, I'm just thinking about people

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: who come to visit. I mean, my buddies always want

69
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: to come out, right, for my high school buddies, the

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: guys that play football. Yeah, so maybe if Universal Studios,

71
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: if you're listening, maybe you guys can build a backlop

72
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills for.

73
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: Tourists that they'll say, you know, just facades exactly.

74
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I hate to hear that, really do.

75
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: There is hope though, because remember those follow home burglaries

76
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: that we were experiencing a few years ago. LAPD did

77
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: create a task force and those dropped dramatically. So I'm

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: hoping that with this task force maybe these dropped dramatically too.

79
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. All right. Let me see

80
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: where we are. I have these Jonas Brothers tickets that

81
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about those guys. One specifically, that show is

82
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Saturday night, just around the corner Dodger Stadium to see

83
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the Jonas Brothers. What will people be feeling when they've

84
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: heard about Joe and Sophie when they're there at Dodger

85
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: Stadium knowing what's kind of going on, and will he

86
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: give a wink? Well he especially here in LA I

87
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: wonder if if he'll drop any sort of hint or

88
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: or some sort of they always subtle message.

89
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: They always do some sort of after party after they

90
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: play in La, Like they always either go to some

91
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: restaurant together, And I wonder if they're going to do

92
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: it this time or if they're just gonna like that after.

93
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: Party would be lit. But hold on, Tanya is normally invited.

94
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Have you not been told about anything yet?

95
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: Well they don't. I never get invited until the day

96
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: of the show. Like it's usually like at the show

97
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: or after the show they say, oh we're all going

98
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 3: here come.

99
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Well that's how they do it, right.

100
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: I'm not not to make any light of this whole

101
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: situation because it's sad that they're divorcing.

102
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: But I saw her with Joe Jonas and Sophie.

103
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: I saw a really funny TikTok of someone that said, like,

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: what am I going to do now with my outfit?

105
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: Because she was going to go dressed up as like

00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,000
