1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: If I am six forty, you're listening to the John 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We're 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: on the radio from one until four. After four o'clock, 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: you go to the iHeart app and listen to the 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: podcast John and Kit on demand and pick up whatever 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: you missed. And Wow, the videos from the East Coast 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: are fascinating, aren't they. 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: This is unprecedented. I remember was it last year? The 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: year before, we were all amazed at how hot it 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: got in the Upper Northwest. Remember that when they hit 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 2: one hundred degrees in Oregon and Washington. This is also 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: like a reversal. I mean, that's whether that we see here. 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: And there's always people on the East Coast who whenever 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: we get fires. Are you okay, how's the air quality? 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: It looks like the nation has slipped upside down again. 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 2: The East Coast is being blanketed with wildfire smoke that's 18 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: coming from Canada. Many fires burning in Canada, and I 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: guess just the way they wind blows in the jet stream. 20 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: It's the wind patterns. It's bringing it down to many 21 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: cities in the Northeast. As over one hundred and fifty 22 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: forest fires in Quebec one hundred and ten here been 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 2: deemed out of control. Give you an idea. The air 24 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: quality index in New York City this afternoon was three 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 2: forty two. That was the worst for a major city 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: in the entire world. New Delhi was at one ninety, 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: the normal index for New York. 28 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: New Delhi is usually the worst in the world. It's 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: one hundred. Yes, it's twice as bad in New York 30 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: as New Delhi. And yes, the airports are closed as 31 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: well La Guardia, right are they closed? La Guardia? And 32 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: also what's the other one? Newark? There? It's not Kennedy though, 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: now I don't see it in the story. Well, we 34 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: have a reporter here, we can we do. 35 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: Somebody has a lot more information. ABC News is Derek Dennis. 36 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: Will fill us in on this story which is captivating 37 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: that part of the country. 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Derek, how are you? Yeah? 39 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: Hi there? 40 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: Uh? 41 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: Not good because of all the smoke. Let's start with 42 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: the airports. 43 00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: You mentioned it. 44 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: Listen, there were ground stops that were issued for some 45 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: of the airports in the New York City area. Those 46 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 3: have been lifted, but the FA is slowing air traffic 47 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: still because of the poor visibility from this Canadian smoke 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: that has drifted thousands of miles into the northeast, and 49 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 3: so it's a real problem. And just stepping outside, people 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: are all masked up as if this were the height 51 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: of COVID. The air is very thick. It starts to 52 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: burn your eyes and irritate your throat after just a 53 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: few minutes, so it is very dangerous and it's really 54 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: blanketed the area. Imagine it. The tall skyscrapers of New 55 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: York City that you would normally see, it's very hard 56 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 3: to see the very tips of them because the smoke 57 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 3: has just settled in so low over the city. And 58 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: the forecasters are saying it's going to be like this 59 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: until the weekend. 60 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: And the air, the color of the air, the sky 61 00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: this weird. 62 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: Yeah right, it's sort of an orange gray glaze. It's 63 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: changed the sun color from just a bright yellow to 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: sort of a red because of the orange glow from 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: the smoke. And it's caused New York City officials to 66 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: issue an air quality advisory, basically telling people who are vulnerable, 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: the elderly, those have compromised immune respiratory conditions to just 68 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 3: stay inside. All New Yorkers are being urged to limit 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: their outdoor activities. But if you've got a compromised system, 70 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: to just stay indoors, that's the advice from health officials. 71 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: Are people heating that advice, Derek, because you know New 72 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: Yorkers shrug off everything. 73 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: It's like, ah, it's another exaggeration. I'm going out, you know. 74 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: I think it is a situation where people are staying 75 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: inside because they just don't want to deal with the irritation. 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: I mean, it is very irritating to the eye and 77 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: to the throat to be outside for any any length 78 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: of time. Look, there are people New Yorkers who just 79 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: have to be outside. They're either working outside or they 80 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 3: don't have cars, so they you know, they've got to 81 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: deal with public transportation. But most of them are masking 82 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: up and people are just staying inside as much as 83 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: they can because of the irritation from the smoke. 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 2: Now, this smoke pattern, I mean, is this unusual that 85 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: the Canadian the winds are blowing the smoke in this direction. 86 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: Wouldn't they have blown it maybe more, you know, eastward 87 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: towards the other parts of Canada? Or how did that 88 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: did this? Worker is going to change? 89 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing. So forecasters say, we're really at 90 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 3: the mercy of the jet stream here. The way the 91 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: jet stream works, it sort of pushes air from the 92 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: north down to the middle of the country and then east, 93 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: so it sort of goes in like an S pattern, 94 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: and so we're on the eastern part of that. The 95 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: good news is the smoke is going to eventually get 96 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: blown out into the Atlantic Ocean and our skies are 97 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 3: going to clear up and down the Northeast Corridor and 98 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: into New England. So yeah, the jet stream will help eventually, 99 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: but right now it's slow moving and it really depends 100 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: on how quickly things escalate in terms of getting this 101 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: air pushed out. But the weekend is what they're looking at. 102 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: In the meantime, they're saying it couldn't get worse before 103 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: it gets better, meaning the smoke tomorrow could be worse 104 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: than it is today, and it's hard to imagine that 105 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 3: with the air quality over three hundred, which is more 106 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: than double the safe levels. So it's a big problem 107 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 3: according to health officials and are they they're. 108 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: Experiencing this in other parts of the Northeast. Also in 109 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: the Midwest too, has also gotten some of this smoke. 110 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: Am I right right, you're right. 111 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 3: There are reports from Detroit, there are reports from Washington, 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: d C, Philadelphia, Boston, obviously, New York City, Connecticut. New 113 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 3: Jersey just announced their dismissing government office workers early for 114 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: the day to get them going home so that they 115 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: can get out of sort of being outside and get 116 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 3: inside at home where they could just sort of shelter 117 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: in place. They're worried about the health conditions of government 118 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: workers in New Jersey. 119 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: All right, Derek, thank you very much for the update. 120 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Sure they have Derek Dennis ABC News 121 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: covering the poor air quality that's affecting the Midwest and 122 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: the Northeast cities because of these Canadian wildfires. They have 123 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: an air quality scoreboard on television and New York cities 124 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: at the top of the list, and we are beating 125 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: out Dubai and New Delhi, India, Pakistan. And there's red 126 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: dots and red means bad air that are populated all 127 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: the way to Ohio and Pennsylvania. And then I couldn't 128 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: help it. Reneedle my East Coast friends, because they're always 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: when whever we have wildfires out here, they don't have 130 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: quite a grasp on where these fires are even if 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: they're way up north. Are you okay? 132 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: Is they're smoking your eye? And well, well we flipped 133 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: the script, didn't we. 134 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: I was thinking, how many times have we dealt with 135 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: this with this smoke? Oh yeah, exactly. And I lived 136 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: near the beach. I don't get it too badly, but 137 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: there was a couple of times. 138 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: It was that twenty twenty when we had all those fires, 139 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: a few of them, some of the smoke drifted in here. 140 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: It was irritating. 141 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 2: The air quality index in New York City is even 142 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: worse than after the attacks of nine to eleven. However, 143 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: that air was far more toxic than this particular wildfire 144 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: they've got. 145 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: They've got over two hundred fires out of control in Canada, 146 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: and some of them are in New Finland, which is 147 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: in the northeast corner right of Canada, and some of 148 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: them are in British Columbia, which is in the far west. 149 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: And there are winds pushing the British Columbia fire smoke 150 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: down towards the midwest. There are winds blowing the New 151 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: Finland smoke, you know, from the northeast, because there's a 152 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: weather pattern that's like sucking the smoke from the north 153 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: and bringing it down into the New York City area. 154 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: And it's interesting, so much of the coverage now that 155 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: you just got into that is about like New York 156 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: cities air quality, and people mentioned Philadelphia and he mentioned 157 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: Derek Detroit. But you can see how the media focus is. 158 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: And I'm just thinking, Yeah, what's like in Canada. That's 159 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: got to be pretty nasty, And how come these fires 160 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: are burning so out of control? Two hundred not a 161 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: lot of coverage there, no two hundred and thirty nine 162 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: fires are burning, but everything's about well, the New Yorkers 163 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: can't breathe. Oh, I have read that there's lots of 164 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: lightning strikes this time of year in Canada. 165 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: I was wondering if there was something that maybe wasn't 166 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: humid and there was hot air or something. I don't 167 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: know if it's drier than normal or what the story is. 168 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's climate change, though we can just assume that. 169 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: Oh. Apparently a couple of New York City politicians, including 170 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: occasional cort Text, has already jumped on that. Yeah, yeah, 171 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do? I don't know, but 172 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: this is never everyone everyone said they've never seen it 173 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: like this. No, I mean we grew up there, spent 174 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, first half. Yeah, I don't remember much wildfire 175 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: or smoke. No, that was highly unusual. Uh well, it's 176 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: given something. It's given everybody something to watch all afternoon. 177 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: It's one of those mesmerizing things like a snowstorm or 178 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: I know. 179 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: But it's not like you're going to be rescuing people 180 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: or doing anything. You just got to wait for it 181 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 2: to clear out and maybe stay inside. I say, get 182 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: yourself an N ninety five masks. What I told my 183 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 2: friends because they told me say inside it works. 184 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: Damn, masks are back. I'm having flashbacks. See what O. 185 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: They're good for something if you've had them laid around 186 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: the house. This is a more rational use of the mask. Yeah. Oh, 187 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: some people are actually saying I can taste the air. 188 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: That's pretty disgusting. Yeah. Air is not supposed to taste. Yeah, 189 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: you know. Really that means you might be taking in 190 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: some of the particles. Yeah, particular All right, we got 191 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: more coming up. 192 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: Johnny Ken can if I Am six forty were live 193 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 194 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 195 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 196 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: On from one to four on the radio after four 197 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: o'clock the iHeart app for the Johnny Ken on demand podcast. 198 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: A little bit more on the wildfire is in Canada. 199 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: A lot of them are around Quebec. We have the 200 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: Quebec Premier, Francois le Gold, who said, we really just 201 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: have the capacity to fight about forty fires at the moment, 202 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: and there's a lot more of those that have broken out. 203 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: Now. 204 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 2: They're getting reinforcements from all over the world. The US 205 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: has sent some firefighters, Australia, New Zealand South Africa are 206 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: also sending They're supposedly going to pick up close to 207 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: one thousand firefighters. Do they have the equipment though, right, 208 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: that's the other thing you need to fight these fires. 209 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, the US is sending more than six hundred 210 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: firefighters and equipment to Canada. I don't know where they're 211 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: coming from, whose particular force are coming from, but they 212 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: probably are coordinating. The largest town in northern Quebec is 213 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: a place called ship Booga Maw sugar be Mao. I 214 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: can't even pronounce it, Shibugamao. Seventy five hundred people, that's it. 215 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: They evacuated the town. 216 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: So you know that we've had some areas in California, 217 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: remote areas that when they burn, there's not a lot 218 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: of We're talking about northern Quebec that's not very populated. 219 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: The whole country of Canada doesn't have that many people. 220 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: So's the reason why these wildfires can burn, because it's 221 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: just s a lot of Russian woods. We have more 222 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: people in California than all of Canada, Yes, we do. 223 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: Canada's thirty three million and we're thirty nine million. And 224 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: look at all the empty space we have in this state. Right, 225 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: So Canada? Did you ever drive through Canada? Not drive? No, 226 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: I drove through a chunk of Canada once. It is 227 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: vastly empty. I mean for hours, all I saw were 228 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: rolling fields. 229 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: Well, it's harsh winters, so you know, there's the reasons 230 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: that people haven't really populated certain parts of it. Plus, 231 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: Canada has tough laws on some co belts to Canada. 232 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: They did I have relatives? Yeah, and you visited some 233 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: co Belts. I did not visit co Belts, but my 234 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: parents did. 235 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: How about that. 236 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: I got an interesting problem with the house that came 237 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: up yesterday and then it became a sign of the 238 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: times the question I was asked. Let me start from 239 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: the beginning. One day, I was at the window on 240 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: the second floor and I was looking out and I 241 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: saw some bees buzzing around and I said, hmm, I 242 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: guess they're just pollinating because I have some plants and 243 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 2: trees out there. It happened two days in a row, 244 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 2: and I said, I don't know where those I don't 245 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 2: think that's where the trees are. So I walked downstairs, 246 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: walked outside the house, walked around the corner, and I 247 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: saw what was had to be. They've made some massive hive. 248 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: And what they did, which is really weird. About two 249 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: years ago, I put up the ring cameras. Yeah, and 250 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: they have like little lights attached. Somehow, there was a 251 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: hole between the edge of the metal plate for the 252 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: ring camera and the stuccle on the house. Either they 253 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: built the hole or they found the hole. 254 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: That's where they. 255 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: Went in inside. Yeah, they built the nest in there. 256 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: And I'm staring at him saying this is unbelievable. But 257 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: if you if you watch for a minute or. 258 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: Two, they buzz and they buzz and then more joined them, 259 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: and it's it's just the whole signals you've heard the 260 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: cliche busy as a bee. They always look busy. They're 261 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: all hovering around like they got something to do, and 262 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: there's just some go in, some come out, and the 263 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: other ones float around. And I said, ah, I don't 264 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: like this, so I called pest control, right, Oh be massacre. 265 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: Uh well you need. 266 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 5: To worry about that ken because they could attack you. 267 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: Well, we just had that story in the valley what 268 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, and that neighborhood the resource 269 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: guy got stung. 270 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: Yet their Africanized bees. 271 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and plus they could get into the house. I 272 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: don't know where this is going to go. So I 273 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: decided to have the problem taken care of. And of 274 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: course I'm still with the bug men, and they do 275 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 2: great service. They came out immediately this morning. The question 276 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: I'm referring to that he asked me is he's talking 277 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: about how he's gonna deal with it. 278 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: And at first I didn't grasp it, because, as I said, 279 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: it's a sign of the times. Can you guys guess 280 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: what he asked me, by any stretch of the imagination, 281 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: that would be an unusual question deal with this. He 282 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: asked if I was sensitive as to what happens to 283 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: the bees. That's what I was gonna say, was going. 284 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 5: To say the same things. 285 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: I gave her the opportunity. It was too obvious. John 286 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: was flamboxed. He said nothing. 287 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 5: Well, that's John. 288 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: I didn't expect the question. I looked at him for 289 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: a moment. I said, are you sensitive to it? 290 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: And I thought at first, you mean that you're gonna 291 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: hurt the wall or break my camera? No, no, no, 292 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: he means about the actual, the anider, the death of 293 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: the bees. 294 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. He goes, does it bother you how this comes out? 295 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: And I said, no, If it bothers you, then what 296 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: was she going to do about it? Leave it? He 297 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: might have had some other thoughts. I don't know. Oh, 298 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: you know what he said. 299 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: I think what he meant, you can get somebody who's 300 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: an expert in be collecting that might be able to 301 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: come and more of them out of there alive. I 302 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: don't know. He didn't say that I'm making this part. 303 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: I think that's that's where the conversation might have gone. 304 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 2: That I'd have to call somebody else in that can deal. 305 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: He couldn't do that. 306 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: Was he offering counseling? Well, I know the shaker counseling, and. 307 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: I basically what he did was he plugged the hole, 308 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: and when I came back later, now I don't know. 309 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: Maybe a bunch of them smothered in there, I don't know, 310 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 2: but the rest were still. There was a few hovering 311 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 2: outside like what happened? 312 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: We can't get in and the doors loot? Hello, anybody home? 313 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: They were kind of forlorn. They were just kind of 314 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: winding around like a plane that's waiting to land. There's 315 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: a queen inside, right, Well, we didn't verify that. That's 316 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: what I said to him. Do you think there's probably 317 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: a queen in there? He goes, probably yes. I said, well, 318 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: you take precautions. He had the whole be suit, the 319 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: thing on he had, he grew up a ladder and 320 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: then I guess he could treatment in there first and 321 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 2: then he patched over. Those bees were grieving. I'm sure 322 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: that so he probably did cocoons some of them in there. 323 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm guessing yeah. 324 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 6: You said, well, I mean, look, there is an option. 325 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 6: I mean, look, I don't want you to get stung, 326 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 6: and mean I'm. 327 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: Going to wait another day or two to bring out 328 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: a bee expert to lure them out with my money. 329 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 6: I would have said to the guy, Hey, if you 330 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 6: can take this bee hive today, right now into a 331 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 6: safe space, then go ahead. 332 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: But it's not like in a bush there's a hive. 333 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: This was. They burrowed into the side of the house. Well, 334 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, so we'd have to make a bigger 335 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: hole to maybe try to carefully remove, wouldn't. I wouldn't 336 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: call Deborah's bee removal service sensitive. So I thought of 337 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: her when he asked me that question. 338 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 6: I'm like, look, I had a gardener once. We had 339 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 6: we had gophers, and so the gardener said, oh, I'll 340 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 6: take care of it. 341 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 5: I said, do not kill them. Okay, I don't want 342 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 5: them killed. 343 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 6: He said, okay, I'll set a trap and then I'll 344 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 6: set them free in a field. I said, okay, make 345 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 6: sure you do that, because if you're going to. 346 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: Kill them, then just I saw a gopher killing van 347 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: this morning at the park where I work out. That's 348 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: interesting the name for it. The gophers dig up the 349 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: whole park land area right and uh in the parking lot. 350 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: I see this van before. Uh. They were on the 351 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: scene and they were going. What they do is they 352 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: pump carbon dioxide into their burrows. 353 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 2: Even Bill Murray didn't do that in Caddyshack, right, at 354 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 2: least tried to blow them up, didn't he something. 355 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: And it suffocates them. And then uh, and then they 356 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: tamped down the little you know, the little mounds of 357 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: dirt that they they just leave them buried under there. 358 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, right, yeah, they die in their tunnels. 359 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 5: Oh god. 360 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: Oh and then they cover up and yeah, they come regularly. 361 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: That's what the city does. Your tax buddy pays for 362 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: this massive Yeah. Two big differences here. 363 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: I mean bees can be harmful, yea, the thing and 364 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: they get into my house? 365 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: What what? So the gophers dug coals, so they did 366 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: they have tunnels that somebody could step in the whole 367 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: and get hurt. Well, the park is on two sides 368 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: of a main road, and they start on the east 369 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: side and they burn. 370 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 5: That's right, That's why. 371 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 6: I didn't want them killed. I said, fine, I'll have 372 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 6: some holes or the little dirt hills. 373 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: I like it. I don't think you have to murder 374 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: a creature because it's looting the landscape. Great, exactly, but 375 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: people do well, it's a liability of people step in 376 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: the holes. Don't they have gopher experts who could lure 377 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: them out, put them in a cage and take them 378 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: to the wilderness. Yes, I'm sure they do think it's 379 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: easier to I think there's a lot of gophers, because 380 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: what I was saying is they start on the east 381 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: side of the road and the park land there. They 382 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: go underneath the roadway and then pop up on the 383 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: west side. Oh okay, and that's where I see them. 384 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: I see their holes, I see their little heads coming out, 385 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: and they're very skittish because they're always looking up in 386 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: the air because sometimes they're like black them old. Yeah 387 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: it is. Well, there's hawks that fly around, or hawk 388 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: like birds. I don't know exactly what the species. Oh yeah, 389 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: they're looking for food, you know. Ever, I think one 390 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: time I saw a hawk. Yeah yeah, came down, swoop down, 391 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: grab by the neck, and the little guy was taken by. 392 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: That's one way to cure the problem. Yeah, bro, that's 393 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: my dog's nature. 394 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: My dog tries to catch them, and I won't. 395 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: I won't let them, but the dog to do with it. 396 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 5: Well, they stick in their mouths and chomp on it. 397 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: I think the gopher might fight back. Your dogs are 398 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: barely bigger than gophers. Are your dogs? Yeah, to go 399 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: for and take out your dog and too.

Fifth grade? Fifth grade? Noll. 511 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 2: We went through this even back in the sixties and seventies, 512 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 2: where they thought that maybe it's a good idea that 513 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 2: kids know something about the basics so they don't end 514 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 2: up with all the teenage pregnancy. 515 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: That was a big problem back then. Who was the 516 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: and why is the school in charge of this? Why 517 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: can't I be in charge of this? But let's go 518 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: back to what we're talking about here. 519 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 2: All they were gonna do was reconsider something that's been 520 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 2: in place since twenty nineteen, this Pride curriculum about pronouns. Okay, 521 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: no discussion about telling people how men have sex with 522 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: other men or women have sex with other women. 523 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: The pronoun I don't think that was part of the cost. 524 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: Don't you think the pronouns are confusing to a kid? 525 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: They're confusing to me. I don't understand how a single person, 526 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: a single being, can be called a they or them? 527 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: Why is it a plural? How do you explain that 528 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: to a little kid? Why is it there? If there 529 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: has to be a word, why isn't it another word? 530 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: Why is the grammar turned inside out? And now a 531 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: single is now a plural. 532 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 2: Because you're probably gonna have a family and it may 533 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 2: only be one. Because one of the reasons I'm annoyed 534 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: by this story is that it's blown up out of 535 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 2: proportion with hysteria on both sides. 536 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: By the way, well, let me put it this way. 537 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: The side that showed up there thinks that tho, this 538 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: is all about trying to convert our kids to be 539 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: to change their gender or something like that. Nobody's trying 540 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: to recruit or change people's genders. And then the other 541 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 1: side say, oh, you all hate gay people and LB two, 542 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: that's not true either. There's a lot of tolerance out 543 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: there and there has been for many years. So nobody 544 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 1: just calm down. What is the blow up? Well, you 545 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: know why the blow up is the blow up has 546 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: been about this transcender issue, which, yeah, that's probably what's 547 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: made this back into the news in the recent Okay, 548 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: so what's behind that? I don't think. 549 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 2: Well, because there might be one family, maybe two who 550 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 2: have a kid in the Glendale just pulling them out 551 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: of the air. The Glendale school district, who does have 552 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: a child that they've decided to want to identify as 553 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: a girl, who's when they go to school, they want 554 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: you to refer to her or by her proper pronouns. Well, 555 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: the parents may have realized this, and maybe the child 556 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: has said things. 557 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: Does the child know? Is that possible that a child 558 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: knows that that young sie? I take issue with the 559 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: whole premise, and is that something suddenly everybody else has 560 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: to deal with. I don't want to go through every grade. 561 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: Obviously a first grader that does seem a little bit 562 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 2: early for someone to know. 563 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: But maybe a fifth grader or. 564 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: A sixth grader begins to understand that they're not comfortable 565 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: with being a boy. 566 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: Maybe that can happen. You don't think that can happen. 567 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, But I don't trust in this climate. 568 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't trust outsiders. Look, the people involved in running 569 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: schools are so ultra progressive, and sometimes it veers into 570 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: some weird stuff. And I just don't understand why this 571 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: is not San Francisco, this is Glendale. I don't think 572 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: they're getting into weird stuff. So why bring the protests here? 573 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: Because I, like I said, I think it's the same 574 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: people that were arguing at North Hollywood, right, But they 575 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: didn't this crowd last year, and they didn't argue the 576 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: year before the year before that. So this year there's 577 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: something going on. This year, something different is happening because 578 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: they just had this in Temecula Valley too. The school 579 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: board had had a big ruckus. This I think was 580 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: last night as well, that was in the news. So 581 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: it's popping up in three different places, all at the 582 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: same time in southern California. No less and Well, I 583 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: think you're right. 584 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: I think the trans issue has tripped people into another 585 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: level of hysteria on both sides. But in Glendale it 586 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: was only about something they've had in place since twenty nineteen. Well, 587 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything new to the story. 588 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: What I read in one story, it's a lot of 589 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: Armenian parents and Hispanic parents who are culturally more conservative 590 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: and they don't want to deal with this and they 591 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: think it's been it's been just too much. I mean, 592 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: I'll tell you where were they in twenty twenty and 593 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty two when these policies are prime. 594 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it's like this drag queen stuff, 595 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: like bringing drag queens in for story time. I think 596 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: that's pushed a lot of people's buttons. Is that really 597 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: happening in a lot of yeah, place, Well it's happening. 598 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: I what's a lot? But see what number you're looking for? 599 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: And people jump on early trends. 600 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: More than two percent of the schools, maybe more than 601 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: five percent of the schools. I don't know, because the 602 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: media is going to cover it. If it's one school 603 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: in one protest and you've got thousands of schools, it's like, 604 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 2: I just feel like it's out of proportia. 605 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: Kids, you know, little kids, and there's a drag coming 606 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: for story time. Yeah, that would make me a little uncomfortable. 607 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know what it's doing to the kid. 608 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: Why do they have to process that kind of stuff now? 609 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't get why is it so important to force 610 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: the kids to process it at a young age. Now? 611 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: The guy with the leopard jacket, what was he teaching? 612 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: He was teaching the explicit sex stuff and heterosexual, homosexual 613 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: either interosexual from what I remember, But there was no 614 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: there was no The parents weren't informed, and apparently he 615 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: came across as really weird. That was the only time 616 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: he did it because I don't think I was the 617 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: only one calling in to complain. But I thought they 618 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: gave their heads up when they're going to have a 619 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: class life. They don't because they don't want to deal 620 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: with the blowback. They don't want to deal with what 621 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: went on. That's the thing. There's a lot of insidious stuff, 622 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: and I don't trust that. I don't believe anybody in 623 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: school administration when it comes to these matters. I don't. 624 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: I always think that there's more to it than everyone's 625 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: willing to say on camera or admit to. 626 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: All Right, we got more coming up Johnny Ken KFI 627 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: AM six forty. 628 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere. It's the iHeartRadio app. 629 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 630 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 631 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: It feels like we're going back in time. 632 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: Coming up after two o'clock, we'll have Blake trolling on 633 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: the show because they're cleaning up more homeless encampments in Venice. 634 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 2: We're back to Venice again. That's where we were in 635 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: twenty twenty and twenty one with so many problems. 636 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: Until they never cleaned. 637 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: Then Sheriffy and a Wave I got in there and 638 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: helped clean up the boardwalk. This is around the canals. 639 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: Did you ever take a gondola down the canal in Venice. 640 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: John, not a gondolab I've done bike riding around there. 641 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh, actually you know what lake canals 642 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: have gondolas. It's funny because I remember what we used 643 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: to do. We used to take bike rides into Venice 644 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: near the canals, and we used to bike ride through 645 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,479 Speaker 1: the Bayona wetlands. And then we had to stop because 646 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden we were seeing the creepers all 647 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: over the place in their tents and you know, one 648 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: guy who's wave in a stick one day and it's like, 649 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: all right, we're out of here. 650 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna find out what this is all about. 651 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: And this is part of inside Safe.

Well actually, 675 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: I feel like maybe you said it because you saw 676 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: a picture or you knew something. And I don't think 677 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: somebody here made a life size yeah wearing Lulu lemons, 678 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't have photo shopping. I 679 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: might have been taken from real life. Well down in Atlanta. 680 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: He was topless too. 681 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 2: And of course shoplifting is a problem all around the country. 682 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 2: Down in Atlanta, a couple of people went into a 683 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: Lululemon and started taking stuff off the shelves and heading 684 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: out the door. Well, two female workers decided to confront them, 685 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 2: Jennifer Ferguson and Rachel Rogers. They were fired. Does that 686 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 2: shock you. They have a policy at Lululemon you do 687 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 2: not confront and you do not challenge looters because. 688 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: It's just stuff. It's not Yes, it's not safe, it 689 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: could be could be very unsafe. 690 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: But you gotta feel sympathetic because we're all feeling this now. 691 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they should. 692 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: Watching people just walk out of stores with stuff and 693 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 2: nobody does anything. 694 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: So you got these two women trying to save some 695 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: of the merchandise for their bosses and just standing up 696 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: for what's right, which nobody I think that's what it was. 697 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: I think they're just like, this is enough, I'm going 698 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: to try something here. And apparently she just said, why 699 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: don't you just turn around and walk out, and they 700 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: ignored her, and then at another point she said something 701 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: like seriously, get out of the store, and the response 702 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: was chill, be word and shut your bleep up. 703 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 2: And I says that the women walked outside and watched 704 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 2: as the looters stowed away their stolen clothing and escaped 705 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 2: in their car. They notified the police of the incident, 706 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 2: but that they were fired because they interfered in some way. 707 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 6: Little Lemon should be proud of their points that they they. 708 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 5: Were upset that somebody was stealing the merchandise. It's not 709 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 5: like they own it. 710 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: These are heroines. This this weasel CEO Calvin McDonald, he 711 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: does look tender. It's only merchandise. He said, we have 712 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: a zero tolerance policy and we train our educators on 713 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: around engaging during a theft. What the hell does that mean? Educators? 714 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: You're selling yoga pants? See? Was that what they call 715 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: people that work in the Lulu Lemon story? Educators? We 716 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: train our educators on around engaging. I mean, why do 717 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: corporate people talk like such weasels? Nobody normal talks this way. 718 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: Of course, he'd have a stupid policy like this and 719 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: and turn turn the two women into the enemy. They're 720 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: they're the ones who did something wrong, right. He doesn't 721 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: say anything about the looters. He's upset about his employees 722 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: that are trying to stop the robbery. But we train 723 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: our educators and engaged on not engaging during a threat. 724 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: And that's where it's really upside down. 725 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 2: The story is now focused on the two poor women 726 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: that tried to stop these idiot shoplifters, and this guy says, well, 727 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna stand by firing them because they've 728 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 2: by any company policy. 729 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: What if everybody walking out the door with all your yoga. 730 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 2: Pants, well, you know that's something for the police to handle. Well, 731 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 2: obviously the police are overwhelmed on this issue. 732 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: Pes shop. That thing's not considered here's a big crime. 733 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: Here's Calvin's a big idea. First of all, he says, 734 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: it's only merchandise. That's good to know, So I guess 735 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: everybody ought to go into Lululemin and it doesn't bother 736 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: the CEO. He goes, it's only merchandise, and they're supposed 737 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: to scan a QR code to alert management about what's happened. 738 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: And that's that. He said. We've been told not to 739 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: put it in any notes because that might scare other people. 740 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: We're not supposed to call the police. We're not really 741 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 1: supposed to talk about it. They're trained to step back 742 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: let the theft occur. Know that there's technology and there's cameras, 743 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: and we're working with law enforcement. That's been effective so far. 744 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: Has I don't even understand. We're not told not to 745 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: put it in any notes because that might scare other people. 746 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: What does that even mean? I don't know what that means. 747 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: He said, they knowingly broke the rule, including following them 748 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: out of the store. Policy is to protect them, but 749 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: we have to stand behind the policy to enforce it. Gee. 750 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 2: Now, one quick note, California State Senate just passed a 751 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 2: bill that would prohibit companies from forcing their employees to 752 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 2: confront shoplifters. I don't know that that's going on, but 753 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: we're kind of going in the opposite direction. Nobody forces you, 754 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 755 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: Oh maybe there is a couple of cases where there's 756 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: some guy that lectures as his workers. You better stop 757 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: that shoplifter. But I don't know that there is. But 758 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: what's that word you use to describe him educators? No? No, No, 759 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: Calvin McDonald's the CEO was tender. Yeah, that's a good word. Okay, 760 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna I just took a look at him. We're 761 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: gonna talk to Blake Trolley when we come back. He's 762 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: not gonna stop a robbery. I'll tell you that. No, 763 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen.
