1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Can if I am six forty you're listening to the 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: I'm Phil Schuman from Fox eleven News, sitting in for 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 2: John Cobelt, who will be back here on Monday. Appreciate 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: the opportunity to talk with you, to share some opinions, 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: some views, some thoughts, some ideas. As we move on 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: into twenty twenty five, the news of course dominated by 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: the murders of fourteen people by that coward who plowed 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: them down in his rented truck on New Year's Morning, 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: and then of course the bizarre parent suicide of the 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: Green Beret Special Forcess veteran who blew himself up in 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: a very bizarre and spectacular fashion in front of the 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: Trump International Hotel in his Tesla cyber truck. So strange 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: the connections, the coincidences. Do we believe in coincidences? I 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: don't think so, but the FBI is insisting there's no connection. 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: You know, they're both in the military, they both had 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: rented trucks, they both use the peer to peer rental 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: app touro so lots to think about there as we 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: also remember and honor the fourteen victims. If you're wondering, well, 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: what can I do to help the situation? What can 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: I do to help the families of those who were lost? Well, 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: one of the most obvious ways is to go on 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: to GoFundMe dot com. I believe each one of them 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: is fourteen of them, plus a number of whom are injured. 25 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: I think three dozen go fundme accounts have been established. 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: United Way is always a great organization. I know they 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: have a big chapter in New Orleans, and they've said 28 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: that they're committing one hundred percent of the donations to 29 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: the victims and their families. I mean, you can go 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: into your local blood bank and just donate blood in general, 31 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: obviously not go into New Orleans to do that, but 32 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: to do that here. There's always a huge need for blood, 33 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: especially during the hallway times. And news is coming out 34 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: this afternoon that President Biden and the First Lady Jill 35 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: Biden will visit New Orleans on Monday to quote grieve 36 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: with the families and communities touched by the Bourbon Street 37 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 2: terrorist attack. The White House announced this this morning. Will 38 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: that make them feel better? 39 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 40 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: Fox News's headline calls him the consoler in chief and 41 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: there's more President Biden news that as it affects us 42 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: here in southern California, because after they travel to New Orleans, 43 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: they plan to come to southern California, to Los Angeles specifically, 44 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: and then head out to the Coachella Valley in Riverside 45 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: County to announce the creation of a national monument south 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: of Joshua Tree National Park. 47 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: We love Joshua Tree National Park out by. 48 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Palm Springs, one of the coolest places to visit in 49 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: southern California if you haven't been out there, certainly recommended 50 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: and the Washington Post. This has apparently not been a 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: confirmed one hundred percent by the White House, or the 52 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: details at least have not been one hundred percent confirmed, 53 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: But the report is that President Biden is preparing to 54 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: sign a proclamation that would establish a Chuckwalla National Monument 55 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: south of Joshua Tree National Park. And why is that 56 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: significant because it would make drilling, mining, and other energy 57 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: related industrial activity illegal in the area. The papers also 58 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: reporting that the President will make a similar proclamation for 59 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: land surrounding the Titla National Monument that's up in northern California. 60 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: Southern California, Indian tribal leaders have been asking President Biden 61 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: to do this for quite some time to prevent their homelands, 62 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: and of course, with the new president, one of his 63 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: favorite phrases or sayings is Drill, Baby, Drill. So you 64 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: can imagine those who are advocate of advocates of protecting 65 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,279 Speaker 2: that land and we're talking about like hundreds of thousands 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: of acres of public lands, are pretty happy that President 67 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: Biden is choosing to do this in advance of his 68 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: final days in office. 69 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: So that's President Biden, So he will be in the news. 70 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: And we spent a lot of time talking about this 71 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: yesterday quoting President's remarks, you know, our thoughts and prayers 72 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: go out to the families, our hearts and minds, et cetera, 73 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: et cetera, and asking the question of whether that makes 74 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: you feel better, and I guess the answer would certainly 75 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: be no. But all eyes are going to be on 76 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: President Biden again accompanied by the First Lady on Monday. 77 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: And Monday is also twelfth Night if you're into New 78 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: Orleans and Marti Gras, that's the official start of the 79 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: Marty Grass season in New Orleans. So multiple parades are 80 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: scheduled that night, including the Society of Joan of Arc. 81 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: The carnival, of course, culminates on Marty gar which is 82 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: March fourth of this year, which is, you know, a 83 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: couple of months down the road. As I mentioned the 84 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: Super Bowl February ninth, I hope you'll be able to 85 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: go to the Super Bowl cover that for Fox eleven 86 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: News for the folks here at KFI. As a matter 87 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: of fact, coming up later in this hour, we're going 88 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: to talk NFL football and the playoffs with Chargers play 89 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: by play announcer Matt Muney Smith. You know, I'm a 90 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: big sports guy, a big sports fan. In particular the NFL. 91 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: I printed out literally like eighteen pages of one analysis 92 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: of the playoff possibilities. Heading into Week eighteen, the Chargers 93 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: are on the road in Las Vegas. They're already in 94 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: the playoffs. The Rams are at home against Seattle. If 95 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: you have an opportunity to go to Sofar, you've heard 96 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 2: me talk about that before, it's just an otherworldly experience. 97 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: If you don't mind sitting in traffic and paying a 98 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: ton for tickets and parking, it's a really fun experience. 99 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: Go to Rams game. It's or a Chargers game. It's 100 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: a multisensory experience, almost an overload, So we've got that 101 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: coming up also the Golden Globes. Remember we do live 102 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, which I do believe is the entertainment 103 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: capital of the world. So much of out the coverage 104 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: of the year gone by was about the strike by 105 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: writers and actors and the impact of artificial intelligence, and 106 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: the decline of the movies, and the rise and the 107 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: amount of streaming, in particular quality television on streaming services. 108 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: So Sunday, I guarantee you it's going to be some 109 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: headlines generated at the Golden Globes because Nikki Glazer is 110 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: the host, and she, I guess you could politely be 111 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: described as works a little blue. 112 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: She's very raunchy. 113 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: If you saw the Tom Brady roast, it's X rated, 114 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: which she'll have to dial it back because it's on 115 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: CBS over the air broadcast network, so some of the 116 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: more risk a commentary will no doubt have to be curtailed. 117 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: But she's kind of funny. I mean, I like, I 118 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: love comedy and comedians. I mean, whether it's you know, 119 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: Jerry Seinfelder, Nikki Glazer or you know, pick one, Richard 120 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: pryor George Carl and Sarah Silverman, Mark Maron. I'm sure 121 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: I'm leading out all kinds of big names. Hey, who 122 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: do you like? I mean, give us a give us 123 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: a shout out on the iHeart Radio talkback feature on 124 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: the iHeart Radio app. 125 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: Remember click on that microphone. 126 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: I keep mentioning this because this can be like a 127 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: two way dialogue. It's not all about what the host 128 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: is thinking. It's about what you're thinking too. I mean, 129 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: we're doing this for you to try to provoke some 130 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: you know, some some some thinking, some analysis, some intelligent 131 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: exchange of ideas. I like to call it exercise for 132 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: the mind. I mean, is that too much to ask for? 133 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean it can be a 134 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: two way street. I know we're here behind the microphone, 135 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: but you're there consuming this information. So if something strikes 136 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 2: you as good as bad, something you agree with, something 137 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: you disagree with. Although I can't imagine you would disagree 138 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: with anything, I would be saying, feel free to weigh in. 139 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: I know Deborah Mark would definitely do that if she 140 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: was like at home listening. 141 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 142 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,559 Speaker 4: six forty. 143 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 2: I'm Phil Schuman from Fox eleven News in for a 144 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: John co belt with it till four o'clock, when Tim 145 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 2: Conway Junior will take the big chair behind the microphone 146 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: as only he can. Before the break, we were talking 147 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: about the Golden Globes. It's Sunday night, it's on CBS. 148 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: It's always fun because it's more of a party than 149 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: the Oscars or the Grammys. 150 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: I guess you could say the Emmys. 151 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: Remember, the Golden Globes were sort of in jeopardy of disappearing, 152 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: but then they've been resuscitated. I love the movies, although 153 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: I don't go to the movies as much as I 154 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: used to, partly because there aren't that many movies that 155 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: I want to see, partly because our favorite movie theater 156 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: that my wife and I would go to all the 157 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: time ArcLight in Hollywood, and the Cinerama. 158 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: Dome continues to be boarded up. 159 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 2: If anybody out there is listening and is able to 160 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: reopen the arc light, I would be very appreciative and 161 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: offer my full support. And like most of us, I 162 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: watch a lot of TV. I mean, It's a great Escape, 163 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: The Bear, Yellowstone, Landman, and even old fashioned Law and 164 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: Order SVU It's been on for twenty six seasons, so 165 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: lots to talk about on Sunday Night, And it'll probably 166 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: be somewhat controversial because, no doubt Nikki Glazer, the comedian 167 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: who's hosting it, who's got a reputation for being kind 168 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 2: of X rated, will push the boundaries of network television. 169 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: It's funny the descriptions of the host, Nikki Glazer, the 170 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: first woman to host the Golden Globes alone, Like really, 171 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: like is. 172 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: That a thing? Like the first okay, we've had? Like 173 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: was it? Tina Pola and Amy Fay hosted the Golden Globes. 174 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: So what they described as the first women to host 175 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 2: the Golden Globes together? I mean, is it going to 176 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: be like the first left handed man to host the 177 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: Golden Globes, the first person who's not a comedian, the 178 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: whole I mean, you get my point. 179 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 3: I get it. 180 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: You know, yes, it's significant that a woman is hosting 181 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: the Golden Globes, but in twenty twenty five, really is 182 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: this an important distinction to make? 183 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: Tell me what you think? You know? 184 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: You can click on the microphone on the iHeartRadio app 185 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: record a message talking about the movies. Tell me if 186 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: you've if you've seen or heard of any of these movies. 187 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: These are movies that are nominated for Best Motion Picture Drama. 188 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: The Brutalist No Idea, A Complete Unknown. I think I've 189 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: heard of that. I mean, and this is someone who 190 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: reads the entertainment section of the La Times every day 191 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 2: and tries to keep up with, you know, pop culture entertainment. 192 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: Dune Part two, not interested, Nickel Boys, very emotional, based 193 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: on a great book, September fifth. And then, of course, 194 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: because the Golden Globes does things a little bit differently, 195 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: they have a different category for Best Motion Picture Musical 196 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: or Comedy and Noora, I haven't seen that yet. I 197 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: think my son saw that. He said it was really good. Challengers, 198 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: never heard of it. Amelia Perez A Real Pain, The 199 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: Substance Memoir of a Snail, Moana two. I mean, how 200 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 2: is mo Wana too nominated for a Golden Globe under 201 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: Musical Comedy? 202 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: I don't know. 203 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,479 Speaker 2: Wallace and Grommet, Vengeance, Most Foul, and The The Wild Robot. 204 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 2: And then here's an interesting category. And I you know, 205 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: I think this is cool because the Oscars, when it 206 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: comes to films, the categories are you know, fairly limited 207 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 2: and narrow. It's just here's here's one that the Golden 208 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: Globes has created cinematic and box office achievement. So this'd 209 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: be something that you know, isn't necessarily the best movie, 210 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 2: but it's still I guess you would call it a cinematic, 211 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: cinematic or box office achievement. So that's those are two 212 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: sort of different things. One is the visual look and 213 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: one is how much money it makes. But hey, they 214 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: lump them together. Alien Romulus, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, which apparently was 215 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: you know, a huge box office disaster, unlike Deadpool and Wolverine. 216 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: Did not see Deadpool and Wolverine. I think it was 217 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: one of the highest grossing movies of twenty twenty four. 218 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: The Marvel Comics Universe. Gladiator two. Now, Gladiator two is 219 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: one that I would definitely go see. I believe I 220 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: actually looked this up on the other day. It's still 221 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: in theaters. I try to go to the movie theaters 222 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: for these sort of big visual experiences like Glad eight 223 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: or two. Would be one of those inside out to twisters, 224 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: which I saw online streaming and was like incredibly disappointed. 225 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the fascination with twisters was Wicked. 226 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: We loved Wicked. I didn't see it in the theaters, 227 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: but everybody I know did, and you know that was 228 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,239 Speaker 2: a cool accomplishment. 229 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,599 Speaker 3: And then the wild Robot. 230 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: So we're reading categories or nominations for the Golden Globes 231 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: on Sunday. Female actors and Emotion Picture Drama Pamela Anderson, 232 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 2: that'll be interesting, Angelina, Joe Lee, Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swinton, 233 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: Fernando Torres and Kate Winslet. And performances by a male 234 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: actor in Emotion picture Drama Adrian Brody, Timothy Shallomey, Daniel 235 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: Craig Coleman, Domingo, Ralph Fines and Sebastian Stan So again, 236 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: I know I'm maybe wading into dangerous waters here, and 237 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: you know, Debora, feel free to weigh in on this. 238 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: But you know, why do we break it down by 239 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: male and female? Why do we call why do we 240 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: say that Nikki Glazer is the first female to host 241 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: the Golden Globes alone? I mean, I don't know, seems 242 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: are we promoting divisiveness or are we just trying to 243 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: be cool? 244 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 5: I think it goes with a lot of things that 245 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 5: we say, oh, this is the first, you know, person 246 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 5: of color that has this job, This is the first 247 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 5: transgender that has the job, this is the first woman. 248 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 5: You know, we always have to make sure that we 249 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 5: kind of editorialize the difference that this person is compared 250 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 5: to somebody else. 251 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: I mean, all right, but at what point do we 252 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: stop doing that? 253 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 6: They say, stop doing that now?

Although he does sort 305 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 2: of play a similar role. Remember Goliath down on the 306 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: Lucky Moawyer. 307 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 6: That's exactly what I said. 308 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: He plays kind of a similar role in that sort 309 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:22,239 Speaker 2: of sort of lovable loser who's like battling against the 310 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 2: forces of evil to try to triumph. 311 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: In this case. You know, the Landman. 312 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: He's set in Midland, Texas, and he's got a crazy 313 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: ex wife and I said crazy, like in the good way. Anyway, 314 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun. I would recommend Land Man. 315 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: I don't believe that's nominated. I'm looking through the list 316 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 2: of Golden Globes.

Was there was a movie a 323 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: Showgun which is on my list. Also Slow Horses and 324 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: then Squid Game, so those are the best television series drama. 325 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: And then we talked about us with Amanda Salas from 326 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 2: Good to La and Fox eleven's entertainment anchor or last 327 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: week earlier this week in the Best Television Series Musical 328 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 2: or Comedy. And this is a pertains to the Emmys 329 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: as well, that The Bear is listed as a comedy, 330 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: which is. 331 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 6: That makes zero sense, makes zero sense. 332 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: If anybody from the Golden globes of the Television Academy 333 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: is listening, or you know someone that works for them, 334 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 2: could you please get in touch with us and explain that. 335 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I know it as comic elements, but. 336 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 6: There's a reason for that, I think. 337 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 5: Jason Nathanson, who does some entertainment reports for KFI, explained 338 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 5: it has to do with the time of the show, 339 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 5: the timing. 340 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 6: You know, I guess the timing makes I know. 341 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: The explanations I've heard makes no sense whatsoever. But it 342 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: is nominated for along with musical comedies. Abbott Elementary, which 343 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: I don't watch, which is on Old Fashioned network Television 344 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 2: the Bear the Gentleman on Netflix? 345 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 3: Did you watch that? 346 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: I haven't seen that Hacks, which apparently by all accounts 347 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: is you have not seen Hacks. I have not seen Hacks, 348 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 2: and I again, it's on my long list of things 349 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 2: to do. 350 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 3: And then the last one is nobody wants this. 351 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 2: I just I saw that that's on Netflix, So Hacks, 352 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: I know, I got to start. I guess, Deborah, I 353 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: have to stop reading books and spend more time watching telegraphy. 354 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 6: I don't want to be. 355 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 5: An advocate of you not reading that, you know, but 356 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 5: but let me just tell you Hacks with Jeane Smart 357 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 5: so good, and the woman who is her co star, 358 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 5: I'm forgetting her name right now, but her mother was 359 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 5: one of the original cast members on Saturday Night. 360 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 6: Life, and I'm pretty sure this is accurate. 361 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 5: The mother was complaining because Hacks is a comedy, and 362 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 5: so she was upset because her daughter was up for 363 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 5: I think Best Actress in a Comedy or Best Supporting 364 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 5: Actress and she she wasn't nominated because. 365 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 6: Of the bear. Oh there was a little drama there. 366 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 3: So are you talking about Hannah kind Binder. 367 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Oh, she's so good. 368 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Lorraine Newman's daughter. Yes, yeah, you remember Loray 369 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: Newman from the Weren't You Were? You weren't born yet 370 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 2: when Saturday and Live Star. 371 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 6: No, I wasn't, but I know that she was one 372 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:22,239 Speaker 6: of these. 373 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: She was one of the originals. 374 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: Matter of fact, the fiftieth anniversary special Saturday Night Live, 375 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: which promises to be hilarious, even though the current Saturday 376 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: Night Live to me is not funny at all except 377 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: for maybe, you know, five minutes of it out out 378 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 2: of an hour. But anyway, there's a fiftieth anniversary special 379 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: coming up which which should be great. All right, Deborrah, 380 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: so glad to have you. Have you helped me with 381 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 2: that last segment. 382 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 383 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 4: six forty. 384 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 2: Joined by Matt money Smith, the play by play announcers 385 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: for the Los Angeles Chargers ninety eight point seven alt FM, 386 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 2: where heading into week eighteen of the NFL my favorite 387 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: time of the year. We got the wild card weekend, 388 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: we got the playoffs, we got the Super Bowl in 389 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: New Orleans on February ninth. Do you think we could 390 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: see a Rams Chargers Super Bowl? 391 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you know we could. 392 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 7: They're both in the playoffs, the Rams get a home game, 393 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 7: they might end up getting two. I think this year 394 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 7: there's really no Juggernauts. I know the Chiefs are potentially 395 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 7: sixteen and one fifteen to one resting guys. But at 396 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 7: the same time, it just it feels pretty even that 397 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 7: you could see this being one of those years where 398 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 7: a wild card team or a Rams three seed could 399 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 7: make a run. 400 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 3: And it's not chock. 401 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 7: It's not two one seeds or a one and a 402 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 7: two seed that end up in the Super Bowl. Yeah, 403 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 7: I totally think it's possible. 404 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 2: It does get a little complicated when you're trying to 405 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 2: do the playoff picture. I printed out this piece of 406 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: the New York Times. It was eighteen pages of various scenarios. 407 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: But you know, to me, I covered Sean McVay when 408 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: they announced him as the then youngest head coach in 409 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 2: the NFL. I think he was, yeah, twenty one, I 410 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: think thirty younger was it? Younger than I remember? And 411 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: he talked in such a like sophisticated way. I mean, 412 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 2: of course he comes from, you know, a tradition of 413 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: football coaches. And I remember saying to him, are you 414 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: sure you're twenty nine? And everybody kind of laugh. And 415 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: then we have Jim Harbaugh, who completely changed the culture 416 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 2: of the Chargers, like in one season. 417 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 3: I mean, what's it like to interact with these guys? 418 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 7: Well, I think you know, Sean was sort of at 419 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 7: the forefront of the bright young play designers, play callers, 420 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 7: offensive side of the ball. From that, Mike Shanahan, Kyle 421 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 7: Shanahan tree, and there's so many of them in the 422 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 7: NFL right now, and so many of them experiencing incredible success. Obviously, 423 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 7: Shanahan has had the forty nine Ers in the Super 424 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 7: Bowl a couple times. Matt Lafleur has a Packers team 425 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 7: that has performed incredibly well. Now Kevin O'Connell has the 426 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 7: Vikings at fourteen wins, and they're all part of this 427 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 7: McVeigh sort of tree. 428 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: So that's one side. The other side is football culture. 429 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 7: Football guys, we're gonna pound you into submission and tread water, 430 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 7: and in the fourth quarter, we're gonna pull you under. 431 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 7: That's Jim Harbaugh, run the ball, that's play physical defense. 432 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 7: Harbaugh's Chargers have the number one scoring defense in the NFL. 433 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 7: They run the heck out of the ball. They play 434 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 7: at the line of scrimmage. It's a much different approach, 435 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 7: but they're both successful. 436 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: You know. 437 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 2: I often hear coaches say that, you know, the secret 438 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: to successful coaching is to get great players. Yes, but 439 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: that sort of doesn't really give them enough credit, does it, 440 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: Because you're looking, for example, the Patriots, who have some 441 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: degree of talent at least at the quarterback position, and 442 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: their coach may get fired after one season. 443 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 7: Yeah. I think, Look, you need players. You have to, 444 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 7: especially in the case like if you just look at 445 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 7: the Rams and the Chargers, you're talking about two of 446 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 7: the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Matthew Stafford and Justin Herbert, 447 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 7: two of probably the seven or eight best quarterbacks. So 448 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 7: that's a big advantage. But I do think there is 449 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 7: it's a very popular word around the NFL. I think 450 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 7: it's really around all of businesses culture. What is the 451 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 7: culture of your business? And that applies to a football team. 452 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 7: What is our culture? And I think so much of 453 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 7: it because it's such a violent game and such a 454 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 7: punishing game. That's it's a family, and we're brothers, and 455 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 7: we're out there together, and I'm going to sacrifice my 456 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 7: physical well being for your success and teams that are 457 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 7: willing to do that tend to be the teams that win. 458 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 7: And and there is chemistry, and there is camaraderie, and 459 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 7: there is that willingness. 460 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: It's like in the military, Yes, a unit. That's why 461 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: there's so many military terms. In the trenches, grit. I 462 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 2: think George Carlin did a whole routine on that. Yeah, yeah, 463 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 2: you sacrifice for your you know, your brother next to you, right, yeah, 464 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 2: So this is going to be fun. 465 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 3: It is, especially when they're winning. 466 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 7: Yes, it's well, you know, the Rams started one and 467 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 7: four right, and a lot of people thought, are they 468 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 7: can trade Matthew Stafford? Do they have to tear this 469 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 7: whole thing down and rebuild it? And then they have 470 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 7: only lost two games since, and now they're the team 471 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 7: that the proverbial team that nobody wants to face in 472 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 7: the playoffs. The Chargers were a five and twelve team 473 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 7: last year. With all this talent, no one can figure 474 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 7: out why they kept blowing games and blowing leads. They 475 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 7: bring in a guy like Jim Harbo who's won everywhere 476 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 7: he's gone, be it College Stanford in Michigan, where he 477 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 7: won a championship, or in the NFL, where he won 478 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 7: at San Francisco immediately and it happened again. 479 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 3: It's it flipped immediately. 480 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: We're talking with Matt Muney Swift, play by play announcer 481 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: for the Los Angeles Chargers, Harbaugh when I know, like 482 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 2: I've done a lot of sports for Fox eleven, and 483 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 2: we have the soundbites from him at practice and he's 484 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: talking about Herbert, he's talking about whoever, and he has 485 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 2: a very sort of I guess you'd say, elaborate, colorful 486 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: way of speaking, and to me, like, you know, some 487 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: people who might be less kind would call it, you know, weird, 488 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 2: but the players have like one hundred percent bought into it. 489 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 2: I guess that comes at some risk of acting that way, 490 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 2: but it seems to work. 491 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 3: It does. 492 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, look winning helps, right, Yeah, true, But I think again, 493 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 7: just to try to apply it to to you know, 494 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 7: those of us that just kind of work in more 495 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 7: standard businesses. Just imagine if you had a boss that 496 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 7: walked around the office and did nothing but tell you 497 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 7: how great you are, how pay incredibly proud he is 498 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 7: and blessed and honored he is to be working with you, 499 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 7: that he gets to coach you up, and that's all 500 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 7: Harbaugh does. It's non stop building guys up is and 501 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 7: he amazing. 502 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: This is the best. 503 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 7: Quarterback I've ever been around. Right, what about your receiver 504 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 7: that dropped all these balls last year? Well that was 505 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 7: last year. This year, I see it. He worked so hard. 506 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 7: He's a great kid, and he's going to be great 507 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 7: this year. And that's what Harbaugh does. 508 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 3: Like there are a. 509 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 2: Posts, but look at Bill Belichick, who was the exact 510 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 2: opposite of that. But he was successful too, So I 511 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 2: guess it depends on your style. It depends on the 512 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: personality of the team. I mean, I don't think maybe 513 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 2: it was when he retired. Was the first time that 514 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 2: Belichick ever complimented Tom Brady, right, goild So different styles, 515 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: I guess for different coaches. Pet Drelson money show, Yes, 516 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: how do you work with that guy? 517 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 3: He's the best. Twenty we're coming up on twenty years. 518 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 3: Twenty years. 519 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 7: Yes, it has been a true blessing and a capricious 520 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 7: as capricious an industry as there is. Man. 521 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: He's one of a kind. He is. 522 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 7: And we've known each other longer than that, go way 523 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 7: back to when we were on different stations, when I 524 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 7: was at K Rock and he was at fifteen forty, 525 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 7: and we got to know each other back then, and 526 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 7: it's been great. You know, like I don't, I do 527 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 7: not take it, take it for granted. Any day that 528 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 7: I get to wake up and continue to do a 529 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 7: radio show that's in the conversation as the longest tenured 530 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 7: show in Los Angeles. 531 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 3: I mean, we're in you're nineteen. I'm a fan. 532 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 2: I'm a big talk radio fan, a big sports sports 533 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 2: radio fan. I come from the Boston area, which you 534 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 2: have huge sports talk radio, and I say to you know, 535 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: you don't necessarily have to be a hardcore sports fan 536 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 2: or a sports fan, but here in southern California, and 537 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: I know, you knowever you make Lsia leave something out, 538 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: but you know we're witnessing such greatness show hay Lebron, 539 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 2: I mean before that, Kobe, you know, Clayton Kershawe, I mean, 540 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: Herbert and Stafford as you mentioned. 541 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: I mean, it's great. 542 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 2: To be able to say that you saw those players 543 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 2: in their prime because they're among the best that I've 544 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: ever done it. 545 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, it's a town of stars. 546 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, and you can win with system, but it just 547 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 7: wouldn't resonate as much in this city. You know, you 548 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 7: need superstars to really move the needle. You need Shaquille 549 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 7: O'Neil or Kobe Bryant or, like you said, Lebron James. 550 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 7: For the Dodgers. I mean we've seen they have. They 551 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 7: have completely taken this town over. And that was you know, 552 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 7: already in motion with Kershaw and Mookie and Freddie and 553 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 7: the second show, Hey, who had been here for six 554 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 7: years put on Dodger Blue. 555 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 3: It's just I mean it was. 556 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 7: It was a magnifier to the tune of three four 557 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 7: hundred percent of what kind of attention he was getting an, 558 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 7: I mean, it really has been remarkable. 559 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: So when you do your your talk show with Petros, 560 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: what's your sense of is this a obviously we're in 561 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: football season now, but in general, is this a Dodger's 562 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 2: town or a Lakers town or Rams town. 563 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 3: It's it's such a Dodger town. It's not even close. 564 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 3: That's what most of your callers are about. 565 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 7: It's just it's the chasm between and and the just 566 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 7: the availability because of the upper deck and the five 567 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,719 Speaker 7: thousand more affordable. 568 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 569 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 7: And I think also just generationally it still looks like 570 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 7: the Dodgers, the Lakers don't quite feel like your Showtime Laker, 571 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 7: your Jerry West Lakers of the nineteen lates. You know, 572 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 7: you're Elgim Baylor Jerry West Lakers the sixties which led 573 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 7: to the Showtime Right. 574 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: Seeing these guys grow, Bron and Adan and the ten guys, you're. 575 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 7: Not sure of mercenaries that have just kind of parachuted 576 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 7: in and put on the laundry, you know, whereas the 577 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 7: Dodgers feel. 578 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 3: Like, well, you could say the same thing about show Haer. 579 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 7: You can, but I think also you have what you're saying, yeah, 580 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 7: Will Smith and Clayton Kershaw and like you have guys 581 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 7: like that. 582 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 3: That come up through the system. 583 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's fun to be a part of Yeah, And 584 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 7: I think that's what's gonna bode well. And also we 585 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 7: yea go ahead for the Chargers is that you do 586 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 7: have Justin Herbert who was drafted, who's become a superstar 587 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 7: to kind of get people in. 588 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 3: This town to grow with and watch. 589 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 2: And the great thing about it all is that, you know, 590 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 2: we spend a lot of time here talking about problems, issues, news, 591 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 2: which a lot of times is negative divisiveness, but sports, 592 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: whether it's the Dodgers, the Lakers, even maybe can we 593 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 2: say the Angels the football pick your sport. It unites 594 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: us all in Southern California and the Dodgers or a 595 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 2: great example of that. No matter what your background, your 596 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: situation is, we all come together and root for our teams, 597 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: which makes things fun. I think that's why, you know, 598 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 2: oftentimes when owners speak, they call themselves stewards, you know, 599 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: not owners, because there is some sort of civic responsibility 600 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 2: to be uniting force in town. And like you said, 601 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter where you live, what you look like. 602 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: When you're a Dodger fan, you're a Dot and you're 603 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: you're a bleeding Dodger blue exactly. Hey, you're head into 604 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 2: Vegas for Sunday. 605 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, tomorrow, will leave for Vegas Week eighteen, and we'll 606 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,719 Speaker 7: just see what that looks like. If you need the Chargers, 607 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 7: need the Bengals to knock off the Steelers tomorrow because 608 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 7: then the five spot they can move up a spot. 609 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 3: If it gets complicate, it does. 610 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, if the Steelers win, then they'll probably just rest 611 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 7: everybody and get ready to take on the Ravens or 612 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 7: the Steelers in the wild. 613 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 3: I have not been to that stadium yet. That's pretty 614 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 3: often isn't it? No? Which one alliance is the in Vegas? 615 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: Oh? 616 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 3: Allegiant, Yeah, Allegiant. Yeah, it's great. 617 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 7: So you know what's interesting about that is that was 618 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 7: the stadium that was proposed for the Chargers Raiders to 619 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 7: be the team that was given the LA market. Okay, 620 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 7: the exact stadium is going to be built in Carson 621 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 7: that would house those two teams before they picked the Rams, 622 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 7: planned and built Sofi Stadium. 623 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 3: So that's they just took their their. 624 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 2: They still think they should have taken the Rams and 625 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 2: Raiders and then let the Chargers deal with their own 626 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 2: situation in San Diego. 627 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 3: But hey, yeah, I guess I would. 628 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 7: I would respectfully disagree with that as the play by 629 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 7: play voice of the Chargers here in Los Angeles. 630 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: But hey whatever, all right, Matt money Smith.

Two very difficult and challenging ways to 646 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 2: start off the new year and raising so many questions 647 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: about how we become safe, how we stay safe, particularly 648 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: here in southern California, where there's so many different venues 649 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: that are potential targets, so many different communities. I was 650 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: looking through some different websites and Time dot com Actually 651 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 2: do you remember magazines, Believe it or not. I am 652 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: still a subscriber to Time magazine. It's amazing. You send 653 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 2: them money and then each week they send you a 654 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: magazine and it shows up in your mailbox and then 655 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 2: you can actually read it like a physical pieces of paper. 656 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: But Time dot Com has a thought provoking article ten 657 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 2: questions to ask yourself at the start of a new 658 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: year of course, you know, this is the time for 659 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: reflecting twenty twenty fours in the rear view mirror. But 660 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 2: the next twelve months, you know, what are our goals? 661 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: What are you looking forward to, what are you hoping 662 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 2: to change? What do you want to do differently? What 663 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 2: do you want to do better? And here's some ten questions. 664 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if we can deal with all of them, 665 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 2: but these are good. What brought me genuine joy last 666 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 2: year and what took it away? Take a moment to 667 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: reflect and what made you happiest over the past year. 668 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: Don't overthink it. Whatever pops into your mind is good. 669 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 2: They're quoting a particular psychotherapist in Chicago. It reveals our truest, 670 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 2: most authentic desires. So, you know, think about your happiest 671 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 2: moments and figure out ways to get more of similar 672 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 2: experiences into your day to day life. I mean, maybe 673 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 2: it was a trip, Maybe it was a dinner, Maybe 674 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 2: it was an outing with the family member or friends. 675 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: Another one which relationships felt nourishing and which depleted me. 676 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 2: This article suggests that your relationships with other people are 677 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 2: core to your happiness. Some feed you while others zap 678 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 2: all your energy. No doubt we all know people like that. 679 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 2: We love being around them. There's so much fun. They 680 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 2: make you feel better, you laugh. And then there are 681 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: other people that are like kind of a bummer, They're 682 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 2: like hard to be with. So obviously you want to 683 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 2: prioritize the spending time with people that energize you and 684 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 2: make you feel good, and maybe distance yourself a bit 685 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 2: from the ones that are too demanding. All right, here's 686 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: a really difficult yet important one. How balanced did my 687 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 2: time feel between work, family time, social commitments, and rest. 688 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 2: Maybe you work too much, maybe you didn't have enough 689 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 2: family time. Maybe you overextended yourself with social commitments. You 690 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 2: have to learn how to say no. Maybe you didn't 691 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 2: rest enough. I try to get enough rest, but doesn't 692 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 2: seem to quite be working out. What should I say 693 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: no to? And what would I like to say yes to? 694 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 2: Sort of a follow up to the earlier thoughts. But 695 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 2: you have to get better acquainted with that word no. 696 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 2: And if you don't like to say no, you have 697 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 2: to maybe examine why you're unable to do that. What 698 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 2: positive qualities that I noticed in myself in twenty twenty four? 699 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 2: You know, you look back at a year and you 700 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 2: tick off accomplishments. I did this at work, I took 701 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 2: this trip, I made this amount of money, I bought this, 702 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 2: I you know, did this. But those are things, and 703 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 2: what's more important are the qualities that you see in yourself. 704 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 2: Did you show strength, did you show resilience? Were you 705 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 2: true to yourself? Or did you lie to people? Did 706 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 2: you mislead people? Were you not a good friend? And 707 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 2: that leads into another good question, what am I most 708 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 2: proud of over the past year. A lot of people 709 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 2: are obsessed with what's going wrong. Oh my god, I 710 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 2: owe these bills. Oh my god, the pipes broke in 711 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 2: my house. I got to get a plumber. Oh my god. 712 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 2: You know, I haven't talked talked to my relatives in 713 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: six months. So on and so forth, and you focus 714 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 2: on what's wrong rather than giving yourself a break and 715 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 2: focusing on something positive. So we're at number six of 716 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 2: the ten things to reflect on and ask yourself about 717 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 2: at the start of the new year. Number seven, how 718 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 2: do I make peace with last year's problems turn challenges 719 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 2: into opportunities. That is much easier said than done, but 720 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 2: you need to adopt the new mindset or a strategy. 721 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 2: And then last three are my goals specific and attainable? 722 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: Am I being kind to myself? And what would I 723 00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 2: do in twenty twenty five if I weren't afraid aid 724 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 2: of making a mistake. We learned from our failures, right, 725 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 2: Tim Conway Jr. That's right, Yeah, I think so. But 726 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 2: failures are sucked. Your failures are horrible, right, but hopefully 727 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 2: you learned from them and you reward yourself of having 728 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 2: the courage to try things. 729 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 3: I guess. I guess not to. 730 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 2: Lay something heavy on you, you know as you first 731 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 2: sit down, but right, but you know, but that lesson Also, 732 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 2: I can lead you to have a personal grievance against 733 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 2: somebody for the rest of your life too. That's also 734 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 2: another direction. Yeah, we don't want that, Yeah, like somebody 735 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 2: that screws you over. So Tim Conway Junior joining us 736 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 2: from four to seven. Now, what's cooking today? Well, we've 737 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 2: got a guy named John Decker, very cool reporter, talk 738 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 2: about the House speaker. They just voted Mike Johnson, and yes, 739 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 2: we'll talk about that was very close. Yeah, And I 740 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 2: actually printed out an article I didn't get to it today, 741 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 2: which the headline goes, what does. 742 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 3: The speaker actually do? 743 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? 744 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: I don't know. 745 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 7: I don't know. 746 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to leave that for Michael Monks.
