1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Well, Kelly, and for John and Ken and you probably 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: have been listening to the news. Mark Ronner touched upon it. 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: Police are looking for a group of men caught on 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: video breaking into a marijuana dispensary in la yesterday morning. 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: Police said the burglary took place around twelve to thirty 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: in the morning. The suspects hopped over the fence from 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: the alley behind the shop and we're prepared with some 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: sort of tool they used to break into the rear door. 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: Cafi's own Blake trolley is on it and he joins 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: me right now, Blake, good afternoon. What is the latest, sir. Yeah, Well, 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: at this point in time, owner Toby Reid says he 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: thinks at least one million dollars of product has been stolen. 13 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: And mo when I asked him, I said, is that 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: one million dollars of market value or cost to you? 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: He explained to me that's cost to him one million 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: dollars worth of weed. As you say, they actually used 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: crowbars yesterday to try to break through that back door, 18 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: and as Read describes to me, these guys we're not 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: going to back down. And yeah, they just spent about 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: eight minutes on the door two guys with crowbars, just prying, 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: prying open the door, and it seemed like they were 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: gonna get in or get busted. They didn't care. They 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: weren't leaving until they got in. That was obvious because 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: the end the cameras, they were getting spoken down too 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: on speaker, and there was sirens that had been activated 26 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: and alarms exterior before they even got in. They were 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: being spoken to by the analytics company, cyber Optics, and 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: they just continued. They finally broke that door open. Reid says, 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: once that thieves got inside, they belined it for the 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: room where he keeps his big stash, and that's another 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: sign and I should put this out there. Reid's been 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: pretty forthcoming with me that he thinks this may have 33 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: been an inside job, may have been organized, and he says, 34 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: one of those signs is just the way these guys 35 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: operated once inside his store. It seemed very organized, and 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: it seemed like they were being instructed, almost like in 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: real time. It looked like if you analyze the video, 38 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: you can see at least one guy face timing with someone. 39 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: He's kind of directing them around because they're running around 40 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: on the camera and trying to you know, they're passing 41 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: up some pretty valuable items trying to make their way 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: to around something that seemed they were being told. So 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: when he says valuable items there, I had him elaborate 44 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: on that. What he's saying is weed. He's saying there 45 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: were other bags of weed that were still very valuable, 46 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: but these guys were just passing right by those bags. Look, 47 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: and he said, that makes him assume they were looking 48 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: for his inventory room. That's where he keeps his big stash. 49 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: That's where they'd be able to get in, grab a 50 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: bunch of weed and get going. And that's what they did. 51 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: They got they finally made it into his inventory room. 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: They took a bunch of weed, loaded up into bags. 53 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: One guy had a Duffel bag. They threw it into 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: the back of two different cars. He says, the trunks 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: of those cars they couldn't even close them. They had 56 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: so much weed in the back of these cars. They 57 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: just took off with the trunks inside. Now, as for 58 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: his suspicions, he told me he did tell somebody he 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: thought he could trust about a big shipment coming down 60 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: from northern California. He said he did that about ten 61 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: days ago. This was a person again, he thought he 62 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: could trust someone he says, would help out with the dispensary. 63 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see if this plays out 64 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: as an inside job. I called the LAPD. They say 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: so far no rest have been made made. But Mois 66 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: Reed explains to me he's already facing challenges. He hopes 67 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: insurance and you know, but between insurance and his suppliers, 68 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: he can he can come back from this. But he 69 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: told me he's already facing challenges as you know. And 70 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: we made a whole documentary about this weed in the 71 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: weed industry in California is not as lucrative as people 72 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: might think. He documented some of the issues he's going 73 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: through right now. Oh absolutely, this is probably my most 74 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: challenging period in my career right now because of the 75 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: seemingly coordinated effort to crush you know, guys like guys 76 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: like me. Small family operated mom and pop businesses in 77 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: this industry are suffering because there's you know, multi thousand 78 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: acre grows, grows that are hundreds of acres, big big 79 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: money um greenhouse is harder thing and putting the wheat, 80 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: putting the wheat out there for you know, Derek cheap 81 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: i'mout the illegal and the legal and the legal, the 82 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: legal market, the legal licensed um grows probably putting it 83 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: out onto the black market too, for all I know. 84 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: There's just big, big grows out there. I see weed 85 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: on my coming in for um, you know, for prices 86 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: that are just hard to deal hard to deal with 87 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: you so there. Yeah, but he says, you know, we 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: can't compete with those, with those bigger grow ops that 89 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: can supply at a much lower price. And when he 90 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, what he described to me is, yeah, these 91 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: big grows can pull this off for a much bigger, 92 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: much lower price than when he gets it forward mote. 93 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: You know, I made a documentary about this last year, 94 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: and when we spoke to weed shops here in LA, 95 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: the legitimate ones, they say they're already going through a 96 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: lot of issues. And one of the big issues is 97 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: that a lot of the dispensaries in LA aren't even legal. 98 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: They're not licensed and they're not under any of the regulations, 99 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: so they're able to sell it at a lower price. 100 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: And when I talk to Read about that, he says 101 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: there's one close by that he's you know, working to 102 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: compete with. So real tough situation for this guy Blake 103 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: in your discussions with read, did he mention, because I'm 104 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: reading published reports where this specific dispensary had been robbed 105 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: in recent years a number of times, did he make 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: any mention of that or make any connection to those robberies. 107 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: He didn't make any connection to those robberies. Again, he 108 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: seemed pretty convinced that this is an inside job. And yeah, 109 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: as you say, this dispensary has been targeted, and he 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: explained to me that comes with the territory. That said, 111 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't been hit at this level before. And when 112 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: you walk into his store, it's very obvious that they've 113 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: dealt with this right you go to his store, or 114 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: there's actually a security guard before you even get into 115 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: the shop itself. You know, this can speak to how 116 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: big of an issue it's been in the past with 117 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: these with these recent burglaries. When you go into his store, 118 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: there's actually a security guard behind glass. People show their 119 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: ID to that security guard, then she buzzes them. It's 120 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: almost like a security vault. She buzzes them through a 121 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: gate and then once you're through the gate, then it 122 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: looks like a standard dispensary. And I asked the security 123 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: guard about it, and she laughs, she said, yeah, that's this. 124 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: This is totally an issue here, and that's why we're 125 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: set up this way. I'm just going to ask this, 126 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: and maybe this wasn't divulged to you. We have seen 127 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: video of the break him, but I'm inclined to believe 128 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: that there's other video available, either from inside the dispensary 129 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: or from the surrounding buildings. Did Red give you any 130 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: of the indication that there was other evidence of a 131 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,119 Speaker 1: video kind that was available to them. No, In fact, 132 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: that he made it sound like he released what he had, 133 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, as far as what he has, 134 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: I think he did release that, you know, release it 135 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: to the media, and release it to the police. But again, 136 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think that the one thing to watch 137 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: with this one is that this, you know, and it 138 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: wasn't just him. Some of his other employees told me 139 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: as well. They're suspecting this was an inside job, and 140 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: some of them are actually actually joked with me that 141 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: it's almost like a game of clue now trying to 142 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: figure out who who maybe started this. But the you know, 143 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: he describes the way that they were navigating through his 144 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: floor plan based on this video tells him they knew 145 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: exactly what they were doing. Well. To me, there are 146 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: a finite number of individuals who would have any history 147 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: with the dispensary, who would know the layout in the 148 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: floor plan, and it would just seem like a matter 149 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: of time before they would be able to drill down 150 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: on the individual or individuals who would be responsible for this. 151 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: But we'll have to wait and find out. Blake Trolley, 152 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: great job, thank you for doing that, and we'll be 153 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: continuing to watch this story, all right.

I know that Eric was 183 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: hoping on the house party. I know Tulla and I 184 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: were just going to be at the house, maybe partying 185 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: at the house by ourselves watching TV. Mark Ronner, I 186 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: have no idea because he shares nothing about his personal 187 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: life whatsoever. I'll be here when you get off New 188 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: Year's Eve, right around midnight. I'll be right here. Are 189 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: you going all the way through? Yep? Oh yeah, I've yeah, 190 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: I've done that. Yeah, you are a radio professional if 191 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: you've not worked like an overnight or a holiday through 192 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: the night. Yeah. Oh yeah, I am a true special operator. Yeah. Well, 193 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: my condolences. But but one time I worked the Tim 194 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: Conway Junior show, which means I got off at ten 195 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: o'clock on New Year's Eve and I just went down 196 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: the street, not down the street, but other side of 197 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: town to Jerry's Delhi when it was still there in 198 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: Studio City, and just hung out with friends for like 199 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: an hour and a half. And then I came back 200 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: to the office after midnight and then slept in my 201 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: office and did the Gary and Shannon show, you know, 202 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: at ten am. I think it's really touching of you 203 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: to offer to come here with drinks for midnight on 204 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve for me because you want me not 205 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: to be alone. I really appreciate that. Well, what I'll 206 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: do is I'll do some uber eats or door dash 207 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: and send some drinks to you. Oh well, I like that. 208 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: That was really easy. You really leached the sport right 209 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: out of that. I'll take that, okay, But I'm not 210 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: going to be here at midnight. No, No, I'll take 211 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: that food or and drinks in place of you is 212 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: entirely acceptable. I don't need the company. Yeah, real quickly, 213 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: all right, Eric, have you decided yet? Oh? Yeah, I'm 214 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: doing sushi dinner with some friends and then we're going 215 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: back to their place for drinks, games, maybe watch the 216 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: ball drop who knows? All right, but drinking most likely 217 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: will definitely be happening. And you said you don't have 218 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: a girlfriend at this moment. No, I'm single mm hmm 219 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: and ready to mingle mmmmm. Jewish? Oh such a hater. Well, 220 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: practice makes perfect. Okay, Oh, but that just opens the 221 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: door for me. So if you see a hot non 222 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Jewish girl, I think the lingle. Correct me if I'm wrong, 223 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. Goy, Yeah, very good. Okay, 224 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: if you find a hot goy out there, what happens? 225 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: Like I said, practice makes perfect, So you won't even 226 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: entertain her. No, I'll entertainer. I'll He's saying he has 227 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: to practice him perfectly. It does not. I wouldn't. I 228 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't date a non Jewish girl. But well, to find date, 229 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: a date, an exclusive relationship, but for the like for 230 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: eight hours is cool. Oh yeah, right, I'm gonna have 231 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: at it. Okay, I just want to be clear. I 232 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,479 Speaker 1: just want to be clear. Now, what is your selection 233 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: process beyond you find someone you're not exactly sure whether 234 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: she's Jewish or not, and you can find out probably 235 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: within ten words or so, you'll find out, maybe a 236 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: little more than ten Okay, but very early on in 237 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: the conversation. I wouldn't say early on I would try, 238 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: and probably I would. If I'm first meeting them for 239 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: the first time, I'm probably not going to ask them no, 240 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: but they'll see your necklace. I'm saying, oh yeah, that, yes, right, 241 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: because I do wear it outside of my shirt most 242 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: of the time. So how does it come up? How 243 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: does that negotiation go? If you think that there's potential there, 244 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I might job to ask good questions. 245 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: It just depends. It depends on the situation. Well, we're 246 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: talking about New Year's Eve and her ass looks fantastic. Oh, 247 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: then it's full go okay, all right, I just want 248 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: to be sure it doesn't even need to be New 249 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: Year's Eve. Oh okay, what I'm saying. New Year's Eve 250 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: at least opens up the possibilities. Oh yes, yes, yes, 251 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: or at least when I was younger. I can't speak 252 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: to today. Well, midnight kiss is still very much a 253 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: tradition for people. Oh it is? Yeah, Oh yeah, okay, 254 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, Tuala, is there a 255 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: midnight kiss tradition possibly in your future? There used to be, there, 256 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: used to be. No, Seriously, I've I've become a lot 257 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: more reserved as I've gotten older and I've learned the 258 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: dangers of a midnight kiss and or more. I used 259 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: to try to ring in the new year with some 260 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: some newness, some new new. Um, what's the most unusual 261 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: place where you ranging some new new Oh it's the cars, 262 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: the typically cars. Cars. Yeah, because it's like, as you're 263 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: out about and it's like you don't want to leave 264 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: the festivity necessarily, so you like step up, but you 265 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,599 Speaker 1: want a little bit of privacy. Yeah, you want a 266 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: little bit of privacy. So it's like, well, is it 267 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: like the front seat or backs backseat? Okay, can I 268 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: have some clarification please to Wallow, Oh, here we go. 269 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: Do you try to time things for exactly the stroke 270 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: of midnight? How does this work exactly? Stroke? I choose 271 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: my words carefully. It would be right after the ball drop? Hello, 272 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: he said, ball where's our rim shot? Eric? Come on, 273 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: those were two? That's two. Great job.

But but I do say this, um, 276 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: there used to be a time where the stroke of 277 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: midnight ball drop was very important to get in. Hopefully 278 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: you've navigated and maneuvered that whole evening to set up 279 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: that moment. If you're smart, Oh, if you're smart, be 280 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: it who you invite to the party.

Or you're like me and I want 284 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: to get in so much trouble for telling this story. 285 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: Remember how early in the week we were talking about 286 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: how ninety two point three the Beat had that party bus. Yeah, okay, 287 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: the party bus went down to San Diego. I can't 288 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: remember what year it was, but I had a friend 289 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: and we want to tie all these stories together. Remember 290 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: how we were talking about how we would fly someone 291 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: in or out. I had flown someone in from Atlanta 292 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: and we and this was like a quasi music industry 293 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: thing because I was working at Warner Brothers Records at 294 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: the time, and let's just say Warner Brothers helped fund it. 295 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: Flew her in. We got on the party bus to 296 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: go to San Diego. It was in San Diego. We 297 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: got there around nine o'clock. I was in a suit, 298 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: she was in like almost like a gown, and we 299 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: went to a hotel. I don't know what the hotel was. 300 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: Maybe we can look it up. You can tell me 301 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: what it was if you can find it. But that's 302 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: neither hero nor there. We started dancing. One thing led 303 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: to another and somehow, some way, this is a true 304 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: story and I'm not going to use any names. We 305 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: ended up in a woman's bathroom in a stall as 306 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: the clock struck midnight. We left the bathroom at twelve thirty. 307 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: That was a good night slash morning, and we didn't 308 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: get back to La until about like four in the morning. 309 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: Those days are gone. But I've lived vicariously through other people, 310 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: so I'm pulling for Eric. I want him to have 311 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: a similar story.

But if you're a Rams fan, you 341 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: know it and you like it now. Stan Cronky he 342 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: owns a lot of real estate and that was how 343 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: he amassed his fortune. And if you remember how Sofi 344 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: Stadium came to be and the steps leading up to it, 345 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: what I'm about to tell you should give you a 346 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: good indication of what he plans to do next. The 347 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: French mall developer, the Unabil Damco Westfield, has sold The Village, 348 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: which is an outdoor lifestyle shopping center in Canoga Park, 349 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: which is really neither here nor there because it's not 350 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: going to be an outdoor shopping center much longer, but 351 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: it was sold to Stand Cronky for three hundred and 352 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars, and this is consequential for a 353 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: number of reasons. The village deal was announced back on Tuesday, 354 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: and it's the nation's second largest shopping center transaction this year. 355 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: It was second only to the August sail of URW 356 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: Santa Anita Mall, which sold for nearly five hundred and 357 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: thirty eight million to a different investor. But this particular 358 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: property was built in twenty fifteen and is six hundred 359 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: thousand square feet in nature, and it's located right next 360 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: to a thirty four acre promenade development site, which RW 361 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: recently sold to a private investment group that in cludes 362 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: stand Cronky for one hundred and fifty million. The short 363 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: answer is stan Cronky is buying a lot of land 364 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: in a small area right next to each other so 365 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: he can control all of it. And also the RAMS 366 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: owner recently acquired a thirteen story building in Warner Center 367 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: formerly occupied by Health Insure Anthem Incorporated and its adjacent 368 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: thirty acres of land for one hundred and seventy five million. 369 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: The astounding numbers aside if you go back to twenty 370 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: seventeen and let me see you if Eric has picked 371 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: up on this. Just before the Super Bowl between the 372 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks and Differ Broncos, Cronky announced his purchase of 373 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: sixty acres in Inglewood for about one hundred million. That 374 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: land was next to the Forum and wasn't big enough 375 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: for a stadium and parking lot, but it proved to 376 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: be the gateway to the Hollywood Park site and that 377 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: led to Sofi Stadium. It seems like staying Crunky, if 378 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: you are reading the tea leaves, is getting ready to 379 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: consolidate all the RAMS operations and practice facility whatnot into 380 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: one location in that area. He doesn't need another shopping mall. 381 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: Who in their right mind would buy a shopping mall 382 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three thinking that it's going to generate revenue. 383 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: A lot of that shopping mall is currently shut down. 384 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: Like I recently went over there with the kids, because 385 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: they have a part of the parking lot. They have 386 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: an ice gaming rink that they built over there, and 387 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: so you pass by it and I remember looking at 388 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: the get or tucked into kids and saying, look at 389 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: this mall This is an entire mall that's closed. There's 390 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: no shops there. It's just a gigantic empty space where 391 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: all the shops have closed. Some have moved down to 392 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: the outdoor plaza down the way, and then there's some 393 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: at the Westfield shopping mall. But this humunk Is mall 394 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: used to have a movie theater. Just goog gobs of 395 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: stores gone Eric. So the mall that you're talking about, Twala, 396 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: the AMC Promenade, yes, is completely vacant. The movie theater 397 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: has now moved to the new Westfield to Panga Mall, 398 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: which is across the street from the village, which is 399 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: what Stan Cronky just purchased. My mom actually works in 400 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: the village. She's a manager of a clothing store in there, 401 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: a women's boutique store. But I believe the Westfield to 402 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: Panga Mall in the village, I believe they're going to 403 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: stay intact and be a part of this shopping center 404 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: entertainment plaza that Stan Cronky is going to include next 405 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: to the RAMS headquarters. Right, Yes, it's yes, in the 406 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: way that there there's an entertainment shopping aspect to SOULFI 407 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: have you guys seen the Hard Knocks drone video from 408 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys of what Jerry Jones, Let's just say 409 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: no because that's too long. Either you explain it that long. No, 410 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: either way. So there's a drone video in Hard Knocks 411 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: from when the Cowboys were on Hard Knocks, I believe, 412 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: within the last two years, where in Frisco, Texas, where 413 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys headquarters and practice facility is. It's an 414 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: incredible drone video about three minutes long, and it's a 415 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: entertainment complex. It's got the practice facility which hosts high 416 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: school football championship games. It's got like ten to twelve 417 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: thousand seats in it. I believe, maybe even more than that. 418 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: It's incredible, and I believe that's exactly what Stan Cronky 419 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: is going to try and do in Woodland Hills and 420 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: Warner Center with this new headquarters for the Rams. Let 421 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: me jump in there. Have you been to Orlando, Florida 422 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: and seeing the ESPN Complex. No? I have not. Okay, 423 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: the ESPN Complex they have softball fields and all these 424 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: basketball courts. It's where the bubble was correct, correct, And 425 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: so it was part entertainment complex, part sports complex, and 426 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: it would make sense if you were to have eighteen 427 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: year round I mean, you would of course make it 428 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: fit a football team. Well, I mean, if we're talking 429 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: currently right now, the Rams and Chargers both do not 430 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: even practice and have their headquarters in Los Angeles. There. 431 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: The Rams are in I believe Irvine. The Cowboys do 432 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: their training camp in Oxfa and then or no, actually, 433 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: the Rams I think do their practice at Kowlou in 434 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: Thousand Oaks, but they would do sometimes training camp in Irvine, 435 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: and then the Chargers are in Costa Mesa, and this 436 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: is why you buy all their property. Chargers are going 437 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: to be moving to El Segundo in twenty twenty four. 438 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: That's interesting. So the Charges are moving to El Segundo 439 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: at least there their offices and year round training facility, 440 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: and the Rams would be out presumably if this is correct, 441 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: we're reading the tea leaves correctly, out in one or center. Yeah, 442 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: in the valley when most of their team because I 443 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: believe their practices are in Thousand Oaks at Kowlull there 444 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: you go, everybody lives out there currently and then commutes 445 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: to Sofi for games. Now, and I would say adjacent 446 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: to this is the new Clippers facility. Yes, and it's 447 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: right across the street from SOFI, right, and I was 448 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: driving next to it. It's like, it looks like it's 449 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: going to be pretty hot. I didn't want to say it, 450 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: but yeah, when I was when I was at the 451 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: Rams game a few weeks ago, I saw the Clipper Stadium. 452 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: And I've been to a couple of Rams games this year, 453 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: and each time i've been to SOFI, I've seen the 454 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: progress that they've made on the stadium, and it does 455 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: look like it's going to be pretty cool. It's going 456 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: up rather fast, or maybe because so Far took relatively 457 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: longer football stadium versus a basketball arena. Yeah, and this 458 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: is not really sports talk. This is about economic redevelopment 459 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: and evolution of the southern California landscape over a small 460 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: amount of time. Going back to SOFI Stadium, which was 461 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, I think they broke ground on it. They 462 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: broke ground a year a year late. I believe they 463 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: pushed it all back. Yeah, and it was cost overruns 464 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: and it was finished later than expected. But since so 465 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: Far began, you have the Clippers Stadium. I think the 466 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: Bank of California Stadium was completed during that time. If 467 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, I believe it was completed before before, 468 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: but yeah, but not much before, No, within a couple 469 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: of years, right. So you have this tremendous development within 470 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: a twenty miles square square mile radius, and you have 471 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: these tremendous arenas, stadiums going up and the businesses which 472 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: are attached to them as well. One of the greatest 473 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: parts of the revitalization of downtown Los Angeles was Staple Center. No, 474 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: Notcrypto dot Com, but Staple Center and how that changed 475 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: with LA Live and everything which which went on with downtown. 476 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: And you can see these other stadiums and arenas using 477 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: that as not just a stadium anymore. It's about the hotels, 478 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: the entertainment complex everything. Yes, yes, the condominiums around them. 479 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: The redevelopment of California around a sports team is something 480 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: that we have been lacking forever today. I remember going 481 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: back to Mayor Via Grossa, who was like, I need 482 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: to bring a team to back to LA because we 483 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: are the only major, major city, number two city in 484 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: the entire country and we don't have a football team. 485 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: We don't have anything here. We've got to change that. 486 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: It can be La without a major sports franchise here 487 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: and now we've got it. Well what changed? What changed 488 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: was Stan Cronkie built Sofi Stadium out of his own pocket, 489 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: Yes he did. Taxpayer money did not know it. The 490 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: Clippers Stadium, Steve Baumber paid for that out of his 491 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: own pocket. Taxpayer money did not go towards that. Yeah. 492 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: So that's ultimately I think what helped and expedited the process. 493 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: And not to mention with Los Angeles getting the Olympics 494 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, the next World Cup in twenty 495 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: twenty six, with the US being a part of it. 496 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium is in competition to host the championship game 497 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: for the World Cup. All of these winds need sites 498 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: don't have games at Don't we get a regional for 499 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: the NC TWA I believe so WrestleMania is also coming 500 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: up in April. I mean held off is because the 501 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: city would not pay for the renovations for the college. Yep, 502 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: Like that's what held it up, and that's what kept 503 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: us from getting a team. They tried to go to 504 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: Pasadena and Pasadena was like nope, we are not having 505 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: it at the Rose Bowl again because taxpayers weren't going 506 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: to fund it. So you know, to your point, Eric, 507 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: if not for these visionaries coming in saying it's ridiculous, 508 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: how come LA does not have a major sports franchise. 509 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: All you can do is win by bringing one. I'll 510 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: put my own money into it. And now look, now 511 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: he's expanding across Southern California. LA landscape has changed tremendously 512 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: thanks to sports redevelopment of just of all of Southern California. 513 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: And if you want to complain about things which are 514 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: not writ in LA, also acknowledge the things which are 515 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: actually for the benefit. When I say LA, I'm talking 516 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: about all of Southern California because the jobs and the 517 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: economic prosperity which has come out of these new stadiums 518 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: and arenas and teams coming to LA is enjoyed by all. 519 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: This is the John and Ken Show. KA if I 520 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: am six forty, I'm o Kelly in for John and Ken. 521 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Southern California home prices. 522 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: The reason why we were talking about that last segment 523 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: because it kind of ties into this segment. Southern California 524 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: home prices fell for a sixth straight month in November 525 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: that's good news. Bad news depends on If you're looking 526 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: to sell your home, that's probably bad news, but you know, 527 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: there may be good news long term if you're trying 528 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: to buy a home. The medium price of the southern 529 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: California home, or the price at the midpoint of all sales, 530 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: dropped to six hundred ninety thousand dollars in November. And 531 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: of course you can point to rising interest rates and 532 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: not to go economics class, but part of the reason 533 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: why they're fed raised interest rates was to slow inflation, 534 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: and as a byproduct of that, it makes it more 535 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: expensive to borrow money, which makes it less likely for 536 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: people to be able to sell their houses at the 537 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: higher amount before because it costs more to borrow money. 538 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: So housing prices are falling and we want to somehow 539 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: bring down the cost of living here in California. This 540 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: was one of the ways it can be done. And 541 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: while home prices increased on an annual basis up until 542 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: now last months, one point five percent year over year 543 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: gain was the smallest in three years. And if you 544 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: want to extract a larger result from all of this, 545 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: you can argue that maybe inflation is slowing at this point. 546 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: If you look at the housing market here in California. 547 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: By comparison, the annual gains in the region averaged eleven 548 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: percent for the past two years last month one point 549 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: five percent, average eleven percent for the past two years. 550 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: Southern California home sales, meanwhile, meanwhile, fell to thirteen thousand 551 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: transactions in November. That's the smallest sales tally for a 552 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: November and thirteenth smallest for any month in thirty five years. 553 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that the housing market is going to 554 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: go into the trash, but it does mean that it 555 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: is going to cool off. And I had a few 556 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: neighbors in my housing development who were just i would 557 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: say lucky enough to be able to sell their houses 558 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: in the past month and get out because there probably 559 00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: was not going to be a way in which they 560 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: could sell sell them because they have recently purchased, They 561 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: weren't gonna they were not going to be able to 562 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: sell them for anything more than what you say purchased. 563 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,959 Speaker 1: They wouldn't be able to turn a profit or anything 564 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: like that. Three houses in my neighborhood recently sold within 565 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: the last I'd say year, the first right on time, 566 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: one point five million house literally right next door to 567 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: where we live. I want to live in neighborhood out hey, 568 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: that's true. Those are older houses, colder house, Yes, one 569 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: point five. Fast forward to within the last two three months, 570 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: house around the corner nine something, house right across the 571 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: street ate something like eight seventy five, So you go 572 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: one point five down to like ninety five to eight 573 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: forty something. I don't want to get too deep in 574 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: real estate. Are they comps? In other words, are they 575 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: comparable size? All the houses in this neighborhood are pretty 576 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: much the exact same size. It's one of those neighbors 577 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: where all the houses worse built similarly. Well, they all have, 578 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: you know, the same square footage. You know, the yards 579 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: are pretty much the same. It's like just like when 580 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: you look at older houses in Altadena, Pasadena, a lot 581 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: of them have that same build style. So yeah, so 582 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: it's it's you can look at how the market is 583 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: declining in Yes, you know the house across the street, 584 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: there may have been a little more work need to 585 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: put into it, but we're just talking about like a 586 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars difference. It's a lot, right, Yes, Yes, 587 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: I mean that's cool if you're looking to buy in 588 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: the next few months, I mean interest rates aside. If 589 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: you are cash heavy, yeah, you know, if you can say, okay, look, 590 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: I want to buy this house cash, and some people do, 591 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: this might be the time of which you may be 592 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: more inclined to do so if you don't have to 593 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: borrow as much and not are you know, unaffected. If 594 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: you're unaffected by the interest rate increase, then bully for you. 595 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: But if you are in a position where it look, 596 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: I put my house on the market last month and 597 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: it hasn't sold, it might be a little bit more 598 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: difficult to sell, or depending on how much equity you 599 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: had three months ago as opposed to now. You know, 600 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: because to your point to Walla, let's say the house 601 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: was a praise that maybe one point five million three 602 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: months ago, it's probably not that nowinitely. Yeah, let's say 603 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: it's one point two now. And there are also fewer buyers, 604 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: you know, you when let's say three years ago, you 605 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: might have had six or seven people with those zero 606 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: interest rates, I mean basically zero. It was like in 607 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 1: the twos you'd have six or seven people offering making 608 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: bids on houses. So you're not going to have that now. 609 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: I don't know not, especially when you see all these 610 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: these stories they're out there now for some reason talking 611 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: about how people are leaving California. That's also not helping 612 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: the housing market. The State Real to Association reported that 613 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: the sales of existing houses fell forty seven point seven 614 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: percent from November twenty twenty one in California, and the 615 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: National Association Association of Realtors reported a thirty five point 616 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: four percent sales drop nationwide from the previous year. So 617 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: all of the economic indicators and statistics are telling us 618 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: that the housing market has cooled off. Good news, bad news. 619 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: If you're in real estate, that's probably not good news 620 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: for you. But if you're just talking about the cost 621 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: of living in California, that's a good thing. Now. I 622 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: don't know how or if at all, it will impact 623 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: rent here in California, because basically, if you have the 624 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: money to buy a house, I would say most definitely 625 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: do it, because what's the point of spending more than 626 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars a month on rent and never 627 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: getting to a point where you can enjoy at least 628 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: the tax benefits of homeownership. Now there's been a fundamental shift. 629 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: I remember twenty five, thirty years ago, people were a 630 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: dead set on home ownership and wouldn't even consider renting 631 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: long term. But now that's kind of flipped where because 632 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: of the cost of living, because the cost of entry 633 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: into the housing market is so high, because you don't 634 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: have the junk, the junk loans that the subprime loans 635 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: that you could use back in two thousand and six 636 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 1: and two thousand and seven. And I know you remember 637 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: this to Walla because you were Little Donald Trump back 638 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 1: then real estate made I was trying, but you could 639 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: finance these houses one percent down, two percent down on 640 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: all these arms and these funky type loans that aren't 641 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: available anymore. You got to come with most likely twenty 642 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: percent down or have an FHA loan. And it's very 643 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: difficult to do that now. So I understand why people say, 644 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: now f it, I'll just rent forever. At one point, 645 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: me and my partner across southern California, due to you know, 646 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: all that trickery happening with the loans, we had nine properties, 647 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: I said, Little Donald Trump, nine okay, And when those 648 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: when that market flipped, and those subprime loans, when belly 649 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: up and bake up America called and said, wait, you 650 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: got this loan for what? Right? Oh no, no, no, no no, no, no, 651 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: you owe us. It was all bad, all bad. It 652 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: was the wild wild West back then. It really was. 653 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: We were crazy. And the and the overcorrection which makes 654 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: sure that never happens again. You're not gonna be able 655 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: to get a house for the most part with one 656 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: percent down. You're gonna have to You're gonna have to 657 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: have property or just be cash flush to buy a 658 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: house these days, and in California, that's not feasible for 659 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: most people. But then is at least pushing it back 660 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: in the other direction where it's at least a little 661 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,800 Speaker 1: bit more possible. And time this to the last segment. 662 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: Get it why you can, because with the explosion of 663 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: these properties. Oh like perfect example, my wife and I 664 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: real quick bought our house that we live in now 665 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. That was about maybe and Eric, you'll 666 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: appreciate this, that was about maybe six months or so 667 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: before so Far opened up. Immediately after that, just about 668 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 1: every condo within a five mile radius was starting at 669 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:39,479 Speaker 1: a million plus. The new stadiums and arenas, they bring 670 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: a lot of jobs, and they bring a lot of business, 671 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: but Also, you have to time it just right or 672 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to buy anywhere around there. 673 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: So this might be the time to get some property 674 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: out by Warner Center, like right now. If you see 675 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 1: where all this is headed, get it in Warner Center, 676 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: and if you can somewhere near Inglewood. Inglewood is still decent, 677 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: decent because with the addition of the new Clippers arena, 678 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: Inglewood is going to be like Westwood in about four 679 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: or five years. No exaggeration, no exaggeration. This is the 680 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,919 Speaker 1: Johnny Ken Show k I I Am six forty. We're 681 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
