Speaker 1: it here. You said that you had something to critique
Speaker 1: about my uni Instagram post. Yeah, well it might not
Speaker 1: have been that when I was something you posted this weekend.
Speaker 1: Let me pull it up. But I noticed something that
Speaker 1: was very much not like you, and it was your
Speaker 1: thumbnail is very long, like you haven't gotten a manicure
Speaker 1: in a minute. You couldn't, You couldn't be more accurate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I wanted to bring it to your attention. Thank
Speaker 1: you for doing it so privately. I mean, yeah, you
Speaker 1: could have told him in private. We're in private. We're
Speaker 1: never in private. We're in private every time I play
Speaker 1: a song, yeah or yeah, or you immercial. You could
Speaker 1: have texted. I was going to text you what I forgot,
Speaker 1: And then when we were talking about your anything, it
Speaker 1: sparked my memory. All right, Well, for the record, if
Speaker 1: there's anything like this for me, don't tell me on
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah. It's like, hey, there's a hair growing
Speaker 1: between your meant to tell you there was a real
Speaker 1: celhouette to that dangling hair from yours. Yeah, when you
Speaker 1: thought wrong. I'm not happy. It's so long. It's really long,
Speaker 1: and you know what I'm trying to do not bite it,
Speaker 1: because my my, what I wanted to is bite my nails,
Speaker 1: and I don't do that because then they get jagged
Speaker 1: and that hurts. Oh really your nail bite her? Is
Speaker 1: that what you bite your pens? Wow? Uh? No, it's
Speaker 1: not why I bite my pens. That's another flaw. I
Speaker 1: bite my nails when they get too long, but then
Speaker 1: they get like not smooth. Right. Yeah, well you need
Speaker 1: to have a little like manicure set with you. Don't
Speaker 1: you have one in your glove compartment? Yeah, I've got that.
Speaker 1: I've got rations in case I have to camp. I
Speaker 1: know how am I gonna get through this day like this?
Speaker 1: That was helpful? Ti Uh, Yeah, you thought you thought
Speaker 1: a lot? Love you. We'll get past more than that.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, guess who's on today that's gonna turn
Speaker 1: this frown upside down? The first American Idol, the one
Speaker 1: and only Kelly Clarkson. So I don't know if you saw,
Speaker 1: but Kelly she announced her album is gonna be called Chemistry,
Speaker 1: and this is one that she wrote about an entire relationship,
Speaker 1: one that she thought was going to be it forever
Speaker 1: that ended up not being got the divorce and didn't
Speaker 1: know if she was going to release the music ever.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, like, would I ever get
Speaker 1: past the pain? Would I ever get past the pain
Speaker 1: of something like that to be able to release song
Speaker 1: lyrics of the vulnerability and then goes sing them you
Speaker 1: know no me, No, no, really, I think you could
Speaker 1: not me. You're a lat bigger because like you're friends
Speaker 1: with your exes and stuff, So I feel like you could.
Speaker 1: I don't know, the friendship thing and being able to
Speaker 1: go sing about those really vulnerable moments. Talk about it here,
Speaker 1: not his personal feelings. I talk about my feelings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not the deep down the therapy ones. What do you
Speaker 1: want to know? I feel like the more removed you
Speaker 1: are from it, the more you're opening up about things
Speaker 1: in the past that you did maybe you did them
Speaker 1: wrong in the past, or so the reason why something
Speaker 1: didn't work out. Yeah, we've never gone into like the
Speaker 1: root of like why you broke up with each one
Speaker 1: therapy session. I was teased as a kid. All right,
Speaker 1: well that's it. That's the root of all the issues.
Speaker 1: That's what they tell me. Who's they whole? The therapists
Speaker 1: on the panel, all right, we need a family meeting.
Speaker 1: Who's available? Okay? Everybody else available? Tubbs MICHAELA, I'm available,
Speaker 1: all right, great. How's it going on? Hinge MICHAELA not good? Ryan, Okay, No,
Speaker 1: it's okay, it just takes one. How's it going on, Tinder?
Speaker 1: I don't use Tinder, got it? Got it? Bumble? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually really like bumble. Here we go. Oh all right,
Speaker 1: I got to it. It's positive positive. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: But now for the family meeting. What's what's the problem sistening?
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. Every now and then my parking space
Speaker 1: gets taken in the mornings, and I know we don't
Speaker 1: have a sign parking spots, but we all get here
Speaker 1: so dang early that we kind of do. Okay, I
Speaker 1: have my spot. You do have a signed parking spots.
Speaker 1: I have an assigned parking so you do. We don't
Speaker 1: you also have a gold mic I gave away my
Speaker 1: spot to whom honestly, yeah you did. I know someone
Speaker 1: does park in your spot. That's Blenda that parks down there. Well,
Speaker 1: Blend is not here. It should be you. I don't
Speaker 1: want your spot, actually, yeah, I'm happy to what numbers
Speaker 1: it again, No, it's too tight that those spaces are
Speaker 1: too tight over there, perfect for my fourd escape. Anyways,
Speaker 1: so I park in the same spot. I would never
Speaker 1: park where o're ting we're talking its parks, because I
Speaker 1: know that's her spot. I wouldn't park where marks parks
Speaker 1: because spots like it's like not verified of visial. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I know exactly a little bit of Like that
Speaker 1: be so messed up if I parked we're Tanya parks
Speaker 1: and she comes in and my car's there. That's rude.
Speaker 1: And same with other morning shows, like we all kind
Speaker 1: of get here at the same time. Like I know
Speaker 1: where other morning shows kind of parked too. Who do
Speaker 1: you see most often in the parking deck? Um, I
Speaker 1: don't really see any I see actually like our staff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he parks on the other side.
Speaker 1: There's different wings, and so we're kind of on the
Speaker 1: same section, like our our section of who's who's taking
Speaker 1: your spot? I don't know because the car, I don't
Speaker 1: recognize the car or the person. But today I'm coming
Speaker 1: up and sure enough that car was in my spot
Speaker 1: and the person was getting out. So I made it
Speaker 1: a point to drive very slow past the spot and
Speaker 1: make eye contact with her. God how awkward, yea, the
Speaker 1: aries from a fo I just say, roll slow and
Speaker 1: I made eye contact with her. Did you give like
Speaker 1: an eat you know what look? She knew because she
Speaker 1: sees my car parked there all the time. Did you
Speaker 1: squint your eyes a little? Bit. Do you know who
Speaker 1: she was? I didn't, but I know she. I think
Speaker 1: she works on this floor, probably one of the other
Speaker 1: morning shows, who knows where. But then so then we
Speaker 1: get we both park, so I parked in the different spot,
Speaker 1: that's my backup spot. And then I hate back spot,
Speaker 1: I know, and I don't get in it right. And
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, I've hit the pool before and the
Speaker 1: poles on the other side. It's not a pole, it's
Speaker 1: a cement pot, right, and so whatever, And so we
Speaker 1: both get out kind of at the same time, and
Speaker 1: I'm behind her going up to the elevator and she
Speaker 1: doesn't wait. She she gets in the elevator and doesn't
Speaker 1: wait for me. She's actually your nemesis. She literally was
Speaker 1: like she knew that, Like she did not want to
Speaker 1: share an elevator with me to because she really so
Speaker 1: she now knows she takes your spot. Doesn't care, not
Speaker 1: even gonna wait in the elevator, doesn't care. It doesn't
Speaker 1: What did you do to this woman? I kick up
Speaker 1: her fewing and I missed her. It's beard. I don't
Speaker 1: know to you individual that's taking cissy spot and not
Speaker 1: on the elevator door. We are not going to you know,
Speaker 1: turn you in. We're not going to pursue damages. But
Speaker 1: what did cisany do? What did she do to you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I get the reason why. She probably didn't hold the
Speaker 1: elevator because it's probably awkward when you gave her that stare. No,
Speaker 1: but I think I would have said, Hey, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I was running late one day and I just needed
Speaker 1: to bite your spot. You know, there's so many empty spots.
Speaker 1: I would be upset. Oh, it starts your It's just
Speaker 1: the dumb little things. It starts your day off from Yeah,
Speaker 1: but really it's just like if I would get here
Speaker 1: five minutes earlier than I would get my spot, so
Speaker 1: now I know the time when I have to park
Speaker 1: my backup spot, I'm totally thrown off. It throws off
Speaker 1: your whole day. I related but not related story. I
Speaker 1: forgot to put the tray under the coffee grinder machine,
Speaker 1: and the coffee grounds bit everywhere all of the kitchen floor,
Speaker 1: I mean everywhere, all over, like a huge explosion. Set
Speaker 1: me off for the day. Yeah, I could have a
Speaker 1: normal day after No way, one little thing in your
Speaker 1: routine throws you off, and for some reason I can't
Speaker 1: get back on track. Nope again to you listening, probably
Speaker 1: by the way, probably listening to us, because you're always
Speaker 1: say no, who are you, sissy? And are you dangerous?
Speaker 1: Your morning hack is next here. How often should you
Speaker 1: change your underwear out, like get rid of it? What
Speaker 1: is the shelf life of your underwear? What would you say,
Speaker 1: sissony pooh? I mean, I've got some underwear that's probably
Speaker 1: ten years old. I for sure have underwear I treat
Speaker 1: as new, which is six years old, I know, And
Speaker 1: it isn't like the bottom of the drawer, like I
Speaker 1: don't think I wear them, It's just they're there. Teps
Speaker 1: you different cuts of underwear, No, they're all just the trunks,
Speaker 1: because I have a short trunk and then I have
Speaker 1: a boxer brief, regular trunk, you know, like different versions
Speaker 1: of them, and depending on what I'm wearing, I'll wear
Speaker 1: a different version of the cut, Like if you have
Speaker 1: a tighter pant versus a looser pant. Yeah. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: I don't change them out much. So they say you
Speaker 1: should change and buy new underwear, get rid of the old,
Speaker 1: buy new every six to nine months usual after one
Speaker 1: hundred hot washes. The fibers in the underwear will harbor
Speaker 1: bacteria and that's not what you want. Washes up there right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: essentially that's one hundred days, so that's like a third
Speaker 1: of a year. Oh no, you don't want bacteria there.
Speaker 1: So let's expensive. I don't buy cheap underwear, buy it
Speaker 1: in bulk. Buy it in bulk, like I get sardines
Speaker 1: in bulk. You could get underwear the same way. Serious
Speaker 1: Cities quote, your progress does not need to be seen.
Speaker 1: Let me buy my bulk of sardines in my bulk
Speaker 1: of underwear, Please cash for justister, person's like Costco, costco all.
Speaker 1: Your progress does not need to be seen or validated
Speaker 1: by others. Your progress does not need to be seen
Speaker 1: or validated by others to be real. Do it for you,
Speaker 1: kiss FM headlines. Next week, members of Service Employees International

Speaker 1: Smart people are telling me rain will end, but right
Speaker 1: now it's raining lact Long Beach downtown, But smart people
Speaker 1: keep whispering it actually will end. It's only going to
Speaker 1: stick around, probably till lunch time and then we'll have
Speaker 1: a break until tonight. When I see it, I know,
Speaker 1: and then there's actually more rain next week. Even I'm
Speaker 1: seeing you next week, something on Thursday. Let's not do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, do not do that to us. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm going to look at the forecast now, I know, well,
Speaker 1: she's right Monday, Ursday next week. I have a little
Speaker 1: bit of imposter syndrome right now. Why well, I just
Speaker 1: realized it. If you look at what I'm wearing, I'm
Speaker 1: wearing a blazer and a shirt. Why because the mayor
Speaker 1: is on with us. Yeah, and I don't normally wear
Speaker 1: a blazer and a shirt on the radio. But why
Speaker 1: don't do that? And even if you have a mayor
Speaker 1: or someone coming in, sometimes I do. Maybe you don't
Speaker 1: notice it, but sometimes I do. I guess because she's
Speaker 1: gonna see us. I want the mayor to you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like we do important stuff too. You even
Speaker 1: put a hanky in your pocket pocket square but otherwise
Speaker 1: known as a handkerchief hanky, hankerchief. Uh So, Mayor bast
Speaker 1: is coming on in just a little bit after a
Speaker 1: three days strike. I wonder if she's following this trial.
Speaker 1: I bet you she is, well, you should stilazer. We
Speaker 1: can ask anything. Everybody knows about this. Gwyneth pals Oh,
Speaker 1: I've been watching it. Well. The Mayor's coming on and
Speaker 1: talk about stepping in to resolved that strike. I'm very
Speaker 1: curious to hear the steps there. We'll behind the scenes
Speaker 1: this morning, and how do we make sure we don't
Speaker 1: get into a bind again? All right, Gwyneth Paltrow, this
Speaker 1: case involves a ski accident, so bring us up to speed.
Speaker 1: I've not seen all of it, okay, So for the
Speaker 1: people that are not following it at all, give you
Speaker 1: a little kind of like the cliff notes time. Ryan.
Speaker 1: You that does not know, here's the quick recap. Twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: this guy, Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist, claims that or
Speaker 1: He sued technically Gwyneth Paltrow for three point one million,
Speaker 1: later reduced it to three hundred thousand over an incident
Speaker 1: in which he claims she skied out of control and
Speaker 1: crashed into him, causing a permanent traumatic brain injury, four
Speaker 1: broken ribs, and emotional distress. The crash actually took place
Speaker 1: February of twenty sixteen on a beginner's run at the
Speaker 1: nature Jorious Lee Bougie Deer Valley ski resort in Park
Speaker 1: City where they do one of those film festivals. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So then Gwyneth Paltrow has countersued now for one dollar
Speaker 1: plus legal fees, claiming that he actually hid her in
Speaker 1: the back. Okay, Gwyneth steam says his whole the whole
Speaker 1: thing with this dude, it's that it's his attempt to
Speaker 1: exploit her celebrity and wealth. And that's kind of the
Speaker 1: beginning of the gist of like this trial, in this
Speaker 1: whole situation. But what's kind of crazy and what's bizarre
Speaker 1: with this trial or the moments that we've seen, like
Speaker 1: Sanderson's lawyer, her name is Kristin Van Orman, and she
Speaker 1: she kind of seems to be a little star struck
Speaker 1: by Gwyneth Paltrow. And I think maybe we all the
Speaker 1: other guy, the other party's lawyer. Yes, yes, so I
Speaker 1: have some audio. This is the audio of her kind
Speaker 1: of being almost like admitting that she's jealous of her height.
Speaker 1: Take a listen, May I ask how tall you are?
Speaker 1: I'm just under five ten. Okay, I am jealous. I
Speaker 1: think I'm shrinking though you and me book, I have
Speaker 1: to wear four in shields just to make it to
Speaker 1: five five. They're very nice. I think that's so fascinating.
Speaker 1: And if you were to play that back for me,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, what's the big deal? But when you
Speaker 1: give me the context of she's representing the other person,
Speaker 1: that's like if I don't know. If I were the client,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, excuse me, yeah, like hold on together.
Speaker 1: Although I will tell you that Gwyned I would answer
Speaker 1: the same way, just under I would not say five nine.
Speaker 1: I would say just under five ten. But that is fascinating.
Speaker 1: There's good, there's more. So then there's other one that's
Speaker 1: kind of been making the rounds on social media a
Speaker 1: little bit, Taylor the Taylor Swift comment. Take a listen
Speaker 1: to this one. Are you good friends with Taylor Swift? No,
Speaker 1: you're not good friends with Taylor Swift. I would not
Speaker 1: say we're good friends. We are friendly. I take my kids.
Speaker 1: I've taken my kids to one of her concerts before,
Speaker 1: but we don't talk very often. You've never given miss
Speaker 1: Swift personal intimate gifts for Christmas? What was the answer? No? No,
Speaker 1: But the reason is because of the whole the fact
Speaker 1: that Gwyneth Paltrow is a countersteing for one dollar. And
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift also did the same thing when she was
Speaker 1: in I got it. But what about the gifts? Did
Speaker 1: she give a gift? What was the gift? No? No,
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you. I had to tell you.
Speaker 1: I know that Taylor will probably not consider us good friends,
Speaker 1: but if asked me in a moment of excitement, will
Speaker 1: probably say, yeah, you wouldn't if you were under oath.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, no, But I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 1: just out of under oath, I'm just saying, like, I
Speaker 1: think we would consider ourselves good friends. She sends us
Speaker 1: those sweaters and things when an album comes out, she
Speaker 1: has sent me a handwritten note, right, But it makes
Speaker 1: me feel I will tell you this, Taylor, you do
Speaker 1: make us feel close to you, me because she's so personal. Rights, right,
Speaker 1: that's a tricky one, really. I don't know. I saw
Speaker 1: it the Rose and you know she is singing to me,
Speaker 1: even though there were a lot of other people there.
Speaker 1: But it feels like when you I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: that's an interesting one, right, right. And yesterday Apple and
Speaker 1: Moses when it's kids had to uh, they were sworn.
Speaker 1: They were sworn state, and they had their sworn statements
Speaker 1: entered into the record where they said that they were
Speaker 1: not there, but they remember their mom being very annoyed
Speaker 1: that some guy ran into her. So when is this
Speaker 1: net net out? When are we going to find out
Speaker 1: who what happened? And everyone is kind of just so
Speaker 1: we're all in it. We're all kind of now involved
Speaker 1: in this bizarre trial editing stuff together like you can
Speaker 1: catch up fast on TikTok, right, you can catch up
Speaker 1: fast anywhere, and then on the introwe it's so I'm
Speaker 1: so fascinated by it. All right, thank you for bringing
Speaker 1: us up to speed. Interesting to hear the sound when
Speaker 1: you put into context like that on air with Ryan
Speaker 1: Seacrets there it is a little California love. It is
Speaker 1: Tupac and Doctor Dre one or two point seven, kiss
Speaker 1: up them. Let's bring in Kelly Clarkson, Casey, how are you?
Speaker 1: I love following Tupac and Doctor Dre I ever done
Speaker 1: a comer of California love? Oh my god. We've actually
Speaker 1: talked about it, doing a like flipping that song because
Speaker 1: I'd have to in order to actually incredibly do it.
Speaker 1: But yes, we've talked about it. Well, Kelly, let us
Speaker 1: talk about some exciting news here. This is Kelly Clarkson
Speaker 1: on with Yes, and she has announced you may have
Speaker 1: seen this. She announced that her new album Chemistry is
Speaker 1: coming soon. And I was reading a little bit about
Speaker 1: you know why you called it chemistry because chemistry can
Speaker 1: mean a lot of different things. Was it a challenge
Speaker 1: to pinpoint the one word? No? And I because I
Speaker 1: actually mess that up to an announcement because there's a
Speaker 1: song called that on the album, which I accidentally said,
Speaker 1: and one of my things. Um, anyway, So no, I
Speaker 1: wrote this song um because it's I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: we've all been there, right, You're in like a relationship
Speaker 1: where it's um, it's intoxicating, and it's amazing, and it's sexy,
Speaker 1: it's fun, it's all these things, but it can also
Speaker 1: be like so detrimental for you, like you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's also just not good for you. And and
Speaker 1: I wrote this whole song one night, like almost three
Speaker 1: years ago about um that so and it kind of
Speaker 1: it's hard, you know when you I've never made an
Speaker 1: album like this, for the whole album is like about
Speaker 1: a full relationship, right, So it's all the good and
Speaker 1: the tough times too. So um, so it was it
Speaker 1: was hard to like think, what do I name the
Speaker 1: album to kind of encompass everything, like all the different
Speaker 1: kind of stages of grief. Honestly, So, um I went
Speaker 1: with Chemistry because I felt like it represented the great
Speaker 1: side and the fun side and then also the kind
Speaker 1: of sad, more intense rough patches you know. So and Kelly,
Speaker 1: there were days or maybe weeks or even longer were
Speaker 1: you weren't quite sure if you were going to release
Speaker 1: it at all or when you were going to release it. No,
Speaker 1: I was maybe not going to release it at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I've went through so much and
Speaker 1: I wrote so much that I've I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: what what are we doing here? Like I just am
Speaker 1: I doing this for like therapy purposes because I do
Speaker 1: that a lot of times, a lot of songs that
Speaker 1: I've never released. But um no, it was I just
Speaker 1: didn't know if it was. I think at the time,
Speaker 1: when you're going through something right, you you can't even
Speaker 1: see the end, although people tell you it's there, like
Speaker 1: and so I just couldn't even realize. I couldn't actualize
Speaker 1: me sitting here in an interview right now with you
Speaker 1: talking about it. I just didn't know that day would
Speaker 1: be able to come. It sounds very dramatic now that
Speaker 1: I say it out loud, but it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: just so painful that you don't know if you want
Speaker 1: to vocal lies that or even go near it. So um.
Speaker 1: But it's been a few years almost now, so UM.
Speaker 1: And it turns out they were right, Ryan, So there
Speaker 1: is the other side. UM. And So I think I
Speaker 1: think once you get there, you're you're more comfortable with
Speaker 1: the fact that like, okay, we go through things to
Speaker 1: connect with people, to um to learn from it and
Speaker 1: whatnot and and um and that you know, I'm an artist,
Speaker 1: so obviously that's how I get things out, So do
Speaker 1: you Okay. So, because this is personal and the cut
Speaker 1: of all the things you just said, what will it
Speaker 1: be like when it's the first few hours that the
Speaker 1: world can listen to these raw emotions and these lyrics
Speaker 1: and these experiences for you, what will that be like?
Speaker 1: You think? You know, it's interesting, I've never actually been

Speaker 1: I'm more nervous like on a on a personal level,
Speaker 1: like you know, with with everyone in my world. Like personally,
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about that, um than anything else. I know.
Speaker 1: My fans are like super supportive and I've I've I've
Speaker 1: always written with a vulnerable heart, so I'm very open.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm not nervous about that. I'm I think
Speaker 1: I'm just more nervous on a personal on a personal
Speaker 1: note and um, and you know, because it's it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where you I'm gonna have to keep
Speaker 1: talking about it and then keep you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and keep on performing it. Yeah. Yeah, so I did it.
Speaker 1: I will say, though I had to do I've already
Speaker 1: had to do it, uh once so far, just to
Speaker 1: perform something from it. And I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: was like, well, that wasn't I think because that maybe
Speaker 1: I'm not removed from it. I'm not like compartmentalizing by
Speaker 1: any means. I just mean, like, I think I've gotten
Speaker 1: through it, so I think it. I don't know. It
Speaker 1: was much easier than I thought. So everyone was excited
Speaker 1: to hear the news. I know that for sure, your

Speaker 1: I think I've I've done something actually once here to
Speaker 1: Troubadour in Los Angeles, and it was my favorite show.
Speaker 1: I did a show and I was so personal and
Speaker 1: you know, I was right there at the fans, right
Speaker 1: at the end of the stage and I was talking
Speaker 1: and it was more of like a storyteller vibe like
Speaker 1: with the songs, and it just felt really intimate and
Speaker 1: very much me. And I wanted to be able to
Speaker 1: reach as many people though, because I did think I
Speaker 1: was going to go really small with these settings. But
Speaker 1: I also knew Mama's got a lot of jobs, so
Speaker 1: I was like, we gotta, we gotta I was like,
Speaker 1: we gotta hit like as many people as we can,
Speaker 1: you know, possibly like it's only ten nights, But I
Speaker 1: still wanted to keep it intimate. So um, I felt
Speaker 1: like the back was the best way to go for me.
Speaker 1: So um. So you know it's it's still intimate. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be um, you know, very much like a storyteller
Speaker 1: vibe and like, you know, conversational, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: I'll be playing all the Look, I hate going to
Speaker 1: a show when you love an artist and they don't
Speaker 1: play the songs you want. But right I'm going to
Speaker 1: totally play the songs that people want obviously, UM and
Speaker 1: I want. I haven't performed them in years, um, so
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited about that, like all the hits,
Speaker 1: but also um, sprinkling the new stuff you know, throughout
Speaker 1: those ten dates and and really just making it more
Speaker 1: you know, even the songs that you know, like maybe

Speaker 1: me because of it, I lost a snapchat streak that
Speaker 1: we had. Uh yeah, So I just I just want
Speaker 1: to know if there's anything I can do or what
Speaker 1: I could do to make it up to her. So
Speaker 1: she's mad at you for losing your snapchat streak? How
Speaker 1: long was the streak? It was? We've had it since
Speaker 1: the pandemic began. It would go around nine hundred thirty
Speaker 1: seventy okay, and why time be mad at me if
Speaker 1: I did that, because that's like your streak. It's like
Speaker 1: your crap. I know people that are really obsessed with
Speaker 1: stuff like this and it's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1: But she shall they be obsessed about something? You can't
Speaker 1: make it up, Like you can't just start over again.
Speaker 1: I mean, can you to find what the streak is
Speaker 1: for everybody? It's basically you have to send snaps to
Speaker 1: each other every day and if you lose, if you don't,
Speaker 1: then the street goes away and then just wipes out
Speaker 1: and they have to start different. Then erasing text messages
Speaker 1: it's kind of different. No, it's not on text message,
Speaker 1: it's on snapchat, right, but you erase a chain like
Speaker 1: a text, like I erase the chain we have all
Speaker 1: the time of our stuff. Is that like getting to
Speaker 1: my street? Who do you think it's going to go
Speaker 1: in there? And like read that um tubbs is like
Speaker 1: really there's nothing in there. It's like no, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't need tub seeing all my photos.
Speaker 1: I feel I guarantee if Tub's got in my phone,
Speaker 1: you go right to my photos. I'd love to look
Speaker 1: through your photos. Tubs can get into everything of yours.

Speaker 1: the way, I know, did you post that photo? No?
Speaker 1: What are you doing with that photo? I can you
Speaker 1: send your girlfriend? Yeah? Yeah, I just woke out and
Speaker 1: send it to her, said good morning, good morning picture

Speaker 1: saying you're sorry, you didn't mean to do it, Just
Speaker 1: be honest. Can you just do that and move on?
Speaker 1: I mean I think I can, but I'm just worried
Speaker 1: it's not going to be enough, you know. It's It's
Speaker 1: so we started dating, the long distance and the snaptap
Speaker 1: streak was kind of important to her and to me,
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's kind of a sentimental staing.
Speaker 1: Uh and you you're not long distance anymore? No, no,
Speaker 1: not anymore. Well, maybe Ryan, what he what he needs
Speaker 1: is a romantic gesture, like something that we can do
Speaker 1: to fix it, something that he can do to really
Speaker 1: prove that he's sorry or that can So you need
Speaker 1: a candle, Zach. Okay, what is he gonna do with
Speaker 1: this candle? I's gonna bring it to her and say,

Speaker 1: Chocolate milk is good too. Yeah, I'm not on the panels.
Speaker 1: That doesn't really matter. Mayor Karen Bass coming on. You
Speaker 1: know LAUSD and the strike last week. It came to
Speaker 1: a close that strike after she stepped into mediate. I'm
Speaker 1: just curious. I want to dive in a little bit, like,
Speaker 1: at what point does she say I gotta get involved?
Speaker 1: And how do you get involved to make it productive.
Speaker 1: And by the way, when you're having a challenging situation
Speaker 1: at work, yourself or we're in life, like, what are
Speaker 1: the steps to bring compromise. I'm just curious tonow our
Speaker 1: process too. And one of the first big challenges I
Speaker 1: think that she's been met with while mayor that needed
Speaker 1: immediate attention, right resolution. Certainly in the world of our
Speaker 1: schools here in La Now, Tanya comes in with her
Speaker 1: trending reports and good news is she picks them based
Speaker 1: on what's happening in the world, and then she has
Speaker 1: her view on them, at which point we hear the view,
Speaker 1: and then we're asked, what's your view? So let's get
Speaker 1: into it. Well, this one, I feel like maybe we
Speaker 1: ask find a professional because I don't know quite know
Speaker 1: the answer. But I bring this question up because I'm
Speaker 1: sure you were just as shocked as I was to
Speaker 1: hear Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth we're getting a divorce
Speaker 1: after twelve years of marriage. I thought everybody thought that
Speaker 1: this was like a celebrity couple that was going to
Speaker 1: go the distance. So what in the world happened? Well,
Speaker 1: the US sun is reporting. They said, this is from
Speaker 1: the US Sun. Jim just isn't the guy resmarried. His personality,
Speaker 1: his attitude, and his whole take on life really changed
Speaker 1: when he got out of the agency business. Call it
Speaker 1: a midlife crisis if you want, But that's when the tattoos,
Speaker 1: the weird jewelry, the dressing like somebody half of his
Speaker 1: age really took hold. And so I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about this because I feel like I do believe midlife
Speaker 1: crisis a crisis crisis exist, and I do believe that
Speaker 1: people change over time. And I think that's kind of
Speaker 1: what you want, you know what I mean, Like, you
Speaker 1: want to grow as an individual as you get older,
Speaker 1: But how do you make it so that you guys
Speaker 1: grow together as a couple and not apart? Because you
Speaker 1: hear this often, you know, people go through a midlife
Speaker 1: crisis and then they just completely change and they abandon
Speaker 1: their significant other. So interesting to think about a midlife
Speaker 1: crisis or just like wanting to dress younger because I
Speaker 1: put bracelets on? Why because I want to feel younger? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't think to me personally, I don't think,
Speaker 1: at least up until now, I don't think you've had
Speaker 1: a midlife crisis. But now you think I am No,
Speaker 1: I'm saying I mean, maybe you can in the future.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't look in the future. Why
Speaker 1: do you have to say crisis. I'm not having a
Speaker 1: crisis because crisis because I think you just wanted to
Speaker 1: turn back time. But I don't think that you've experienced this.
Speaker 1: I think a midlife crisis is when you really panic
Speaker 1: about where you are and in your life. You're age well,
Speaker 1: I will say that I think I don't know. For me,
Speaker 1: it's become a natural thing to start like looking at
Speaker 1: younger guys and wanting to wear their clothes. That's not
Speaker 1: the same thing. I'm just telling you. For me, I
Speaker 1: don't know that you want. I think you do it
Speaker 1: for style more so. The fact that you want to
Speaker 1: look younger, Well, then I'm playing it off, well or
Speaker 1: like younger? Do you really want to be younger? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't hate the notion. Grasses and green are over there,
Speaker 1: do you think? But think about it. What would you
Speaker 1: do if you're partner with someone and they just completely
Speaker 1: change everything about themselves, how they're how they're acting, how
Speaker 1: they're eating, how they're dressing, looking couples therapy. I'd have
Speaker 1: to understand you could go both ways, and I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of them is innocent here.
Speaker 1: You know, we're only kind of getting one side of
Speaker 1: the story. Well, right, I think it's obviously, I mean,
Speaker 1: a relationship is two people. So yeah, I think changed
Speaker 1: a little too, and then and then that's they grew
Speaker 1: even further apart. So maybe it was a long time
Speaker 1: coming too, right, Yeah, But I think that for me,
Speaker 1: I do laugh at myself sometimes taking a cue from
Speaker 1: someone younger to make myself feel like I'm staying the same,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not evolving, I'm not aging, I'm not getting older,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. Maybe it's it's just do we
Speaker 1: do it for young or do we do it for style?
Speaker 1: Like what's the difference between in style makes me feel
Speaker 1: ten years younger? Sometimes? Right, it's the young people that
Speaker 1: myos my cargo pants. Haley Bieber wore those. It just elbow.
Speaker 1: I wanted to order them. Yeah. I think if you
Speaker 1: were having a midlife crisis, I would step in. Now
Speaker 1: you wouldn't You don't think so, I'd hope not. Why
Speaker 1: you want your friends to help step in? Hell? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a red car. So what that's not a
Speaker 1: midlife crisis? M Sarah, Hey Sarah, good morning, thank you
Speaker 1: for calling. How are you good? How are you? I'm
Speaker 1: doing well? Thank you. So your roommate is up all night? Yeah? Um,
Speaker 1: so I've just recently moved in with her. Um. I
Speaker 1: was referred to her by a friend. And she's really
Speaker 1: really nice and sweet, but she just stays up all night. Um. Like,
Speaker 1: she will decide to wash the dishes at midnight, and
Speaker 1: she's not even gentle about putting anything away. And then
Speaker 1: she'll sometimes shower at when I am and then proceed
Speaker 1: to blow dry her hair right after. And why why
Speaker 1: is she up all night? Well, she's a bartender, so
Speaker 1: she doesn't get home to like midnight when I am,
Speaker 1: but when she untill noon. Can you go to bed
Speaker 1: with wet hair? Great? I do it every night me too.
Speaker 1: I don't like to. I can get sick that way.
Speaker 1: But would you air dryed or hair dried or whatever
Speaker 1: it is in the moment night, No, that's not I
Speaker 1: feel like that would be rude. If you have roommates
Speaker 1: that are asleep already, like Michael was sleeping, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: do that your schedules complict. So she works late and
Speaker 1: she's up all night, then she sleeps till noon. What's
Speaker 1: your schedule? I just work on nine to five, Okay,
Speaker 1: So like I come home right after work and like
Speaker 1: I'm up at like six thirty seven in the morning.
Speaker 1: Is it just that she makes too much noise? That's
Speaker 1: really what's bothering you. Yeah, And I didn't mention it
Speaker 1: to her, but it just kind of really hasn't stopped.
Speaker 1: So like I don't know if I should be like
Speaker 1: normal volume in the morning when like I'm getting ready
Speaker 1: because she doesn't use normal she us like normal volume
Speaker 1: at night. It's a problem because she's really on that
Speaker 1: schedule for work. It's not like she's like partying all
Speaker 1: night and her hair over having a beer. She's like
Speaker 1: on that schedule. I remember I worked that overnight schedule.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, I mean she's bartender. I worked overnight
Speaker 1: the radio Stationsisney you did too, And you get off
Speaker 1: at five am, and you you're like nighttime is your morning,
Speaker 1: and then you go to bed, you have breakfast, which
Speaker 1: is dinner, and then you go to sleep. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a dreadful schedule. Some tough hours. And so I mean,
Speaker 1: we've all had roommates and it may not be the
Speaker 1: ideal match. So what can you do to say, sound machines, earplugs. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's not ideal, but it's just temporary. And I also
Speaker 1: think Sarah, you say to her, Look, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: my part. I'm gonna put the white noise machine on.
Speaker 1: I've got these earplugs. But please can you help me
Speaker 1: by being as considerate as possible when you have to
Speaker 1: blow dry your hair and you know, clean up in
Speaker 1: the kitchen. Yeah, there's a way to meet in here
Speaker 1: in the middle. Yeah, I could definitely do that. All right, great, well,
Speaker 1: good luck, good luck than you and I had plenty
Speaker 1: of roommate situations. We don't have these awful meetings. They
Speaker 1: have to have roommate meetings. We lived with six of us,
Speaker 1: I think five or six of us at once, and
Speaker 1: we do these dreadful like Wednesday night meetings at nine
Speaker 1: o'clock or every Wednesday. Well, there was always a problem.
Speaker 1: So it seemed like it was every Wednesday. You know,
Speaker 1: somebody was eating your food, somebody was like not doing
Speaker 1: the towels, like they you share a bathroom and they
Speaker 1: have There's be one towel and you'd have to use
Speaker 1: the same towel as your roommate. Okay, you have your
Speaker 1: own towels. I know. That's where we had the meeting
Speaker 1: that I had the meeting so gross. It's so gross,
Speaker 1: But I mean there's a fine line between so gross
Speaker 1: and so lazy. Yeah, Like sometimes I was just too
Speaker 1: lazy that the gross didn't matter because of my laziness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nine o'clock Wednesday night meetings with the roommates. Somebody would
Speaker 1: forget to pay a bill, you know, they didn't contribute drama,
Speaker 1: and then we'd go to Craigslist or replace them. You did, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how you found roommates. Back in the days, we
Speaker 1: interviewed people through interviews on air with Ryan Secrets are
Speaker 1: people asking you like, hey, what do you think is
Speaker 1: going on with TikTok Im? I don't know. I know,
Speaker 1: like I at the end inside scoop, what are you
Speaker 1: my friends? What do you think is go on with
Speaker 1: TikTok Away? Tensions are high, you know between our country
Speaker 1: and China, tensions are high, and we're in a fragile
Speaker 1: international environment right now. So I saw it TikTok and
Speaker 1: I found this interesting about the negative things we say
Speaker 1: all the time without even thinking about it. We always
Speaker 1: talk about cutting down the negative self talk, but they're
Speaker 1: so common they just come out. So there's a science plans.
Speaker 1: The brain is wired to filter out whatever you're not
Speaker 1: directly focused on. So if you're not focused on it
Speaker 1: directly then and you know, your brain is wired to
Speaker 1: not retain it. So if you're obsessing about your pimples
Speaker 1: or you don't like your nose, you're not going to
Speaker 1: see how amazing your eyes are or great your smile is.
Speaker 1: So we focus on the positive instead. We filter out
Speaker 1: the name. So, for example, phrases to stop saying they
Speaker 1: say when something is funny, don't say I'm dead I'm dying.
Speaker 1: Instead say I'm living. For that, I say that all
Speaker 1: the time. Everyone says that. Everyone says, which everyone says,
Speaker 1: oh I'm dead. That's like the phrase to say when
Speaker 1: something is hilarious or sund like the Skull and Crossbones emoji, dying, laughing, dying.
Speaker 1: When you love it, you say I'm dead, right, they're saying,
Speaker 1: say I'm living. I like that and I like it too.
Speaker 1: When you're dread, when you're dreading it dreading, dreading, dreading
Speaker 1: anything in life. People say kill me instead, they say,
Speaker 1: don't say that. They say, I'll be so happy when
Speaker 1: I get over through this basically and stronger for it.
Speaker 1: It's bordy. It seems like a lot to me makes
Speaker 1: me that much stronger. Yeah, when you forget something, I
Speaker 1: mean you beat yourself up. Maybe say I'm so dumb,
Speaker 1: so stupid, Just say I will do better. These are
Speaker 1: what TikTok says. So positive. That's good, kind of corny though,
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Though, it's crazy. It's crazy
Speaker 1: that you feel that. It's corny like that. We need
Speaker 1: to change our mindset. I know, I know, well, I
Speaker 1: guess when. So if you get the flu and you
Speaker 1: say how are you doing? You say I'm sick. They say,
Speaker 1: don't say I'm sick, say I'm healing. Yeah, I'll be
Speaker 1: better soon. I'll be better soon. No, I feel like crap.
Speaker 1: You have a healing day? Do you take a healing day?
Speaker 1: Last year? Any any healing days? Only two more healing
Speaker 1: days left? Do you think we give each other positive
Speaker 1: reinforcement here and use positive words? I feel like in general,
Speaker 1: I mean sure, we can be like trying to be funny, cynical,
Speaker 1: but I think in general we're pretty positive. I don't know,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yes, curious to know if you
Speaker 1: always text me to four, one to two, seven, where's
Speaker 1: the positivity level of this show? Where are we? One
Speaker 1: to ten? Where's the positivity level of this show? I
Speaker 1: forget the entertainment value of our sarcasm and sometimes but
Speaker 1: or used to talk back feature on a I at
Speaker 1: radio app let gonna play some of that back one
Speaker 1: to ten? Sysn'tee? Where's the positivity factor on this show?
Speaker 1: I would say, if you were to say to me,
Speaker 1: what do you want this show to be? I would
Speaker 1: say I wanted to be positive. What would you say?
Speaker 1: Y right, happy, happy, escapism, levity, sometimes like fool and nothing.
Speaker 1: There depends on the day of the week, because I
Speaker 1: think sometimes on Tuesdays we can be a little like draggy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we're supposed to be so that Wednesday's upbeat. But
Speaker 1: if you didn't drag on Tuesday, Wednesday, what's Wednesday? But
Speaker 1: then you started this morning I'm talking about his long nail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you dragged me down, but I came out of
Speaker 1: it as I'm positive. On air with Ryan Seacrests speaking
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles and all the hit music coming out
Speaker 1: of here. We've got our mayor on the line with
Speaker 1: us now, Mayor Karen Bass, Hello, Mayor, how are you?
Speaker 1: I am doing just fine. How are you? I'm doing well?
Speaker 1: But you know, I gotta tell you something. Well, sometimes
Speaker 1: when we play some of the songs here on Kiss FM,
Speaker 1: I do picture you in like a suburban being driven
Speaker 1: around listening. Does that ever happen? Nice? That makes us happy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Uh well, listen, there's something I really want to have
Speaker 1: you on with us to discuss. Was the la Usd
Speaker 1: striking situation. But before that, you know, we too many
Speaker 1: times start our days and we see this horrible news
Speaker 1: of kids being shot and not being safe in schools
Speaker 1: and places around the country. Um, it rocks us to
Speaker 1: the court. This when in Nashville happened very close to
Speaker 1: where my niece was in school, about ten minutes away,
Speaker 1: and they were on lockdown. Oh, when everything was active
Speaker 1: there in Nashville. And you can't you can't help but
Speaker 1: think if you've got kids and your kids are going
Speaker 1: off to school here in southern California, this goes through
Speaker 1: your mind, right, So what do you say to those parents, well,
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely, I mean, and as a parent, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just chilling, and I'm sorry to hear that your
Speaker 1: niece had to experience that. You know, we have been
Speaker 1: lucky so far in LA Unified, we've not experienced that,
Speaker 1: and fingers crossed that we won't. But you know, the
Speaker 1: sad thing is is that until we have national laws
Speaker 1: in place, I mean, we have the best laws in
Speaker 1: California and in Los Angeles, but still this has to
Speaker 1: be dealt with as a nation. And I'm very worried,
Speaker 1: especially with the House of Representatives, how it has taken
Speaker 1: such an extreme turn to the right, was the Republicans
Speaker 1: taking over, that there's not going to be much hope
Speaker 1: that we would get significant legislation passed out of this
Speaker 1: House today this year when when this news is breaking, Um,
Speaker 1: what goes through your mind, your your mind personally, well,
Speaker 1: just just the fear, just imagining the terror that those
Speaker 1: parents must steal, especially as they wait and you know
Speaker 1: they always have to wait hours and hours before they
Speaker 1: know whether their children are alive. And that's something that
Speaker 1: is just gut wrenching. Mayor Karen Bass with us now
Speaker 1: Here on Kiss FM, Well, listen. It was a tense
Speaker 1: and tough three day strike. As people know here in
Speaker 1: southern California, they were so directly impacted by it. In
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. You stepped in, you mediated we got to
Speaker 1: a place of an agreement. What were those those initial
Speaker 1: days like for you where you didn't you didn't step in,
Speaker 1: and what what was the determining factor for you to
Speaker 1: get in and fix this. Well, actually I had stepped
Speaker 1: in quite early. It just wasn't public. Both parties decided
Speaker 1: it would be best for it not to be public,
Speaker 1: so we didn't say anything until toward the end. But
Speaker 1: I will tell you it was a real education for me,
Speaker 1: and I think it probably was not just for those
Speaker 1: of us in Los Angeles, but around the country. I mean,
Speaker 1: here you have people who work in our schools and
Speaker 1: take care of our children every single day, and their
Speaker 1: wages are so low that many of them experience housing insecurity.
Speaker 1: Many of them are in and out of living in
Speaker 1: their cars and moving from place to place, and that's
Speaker 1: just unacceptable. And the thing I think also that people
Speaker 1: might forget about this part of the workforce is that
Speaker 1: they are parents and their kids go to LA Unified.
Speaker 1: So not only are they of the first responders with
Speaker 1: our kids, but they are also parents of LAUSD children.
Speaker 1: How just in terms of your role, how did you
Speaker 1: specifically as the time went by, how did you get
Speaker 1: it to be two parties agreeing to something here for
Speaker 1: a solution? Well, I mean, I think that what was
Speaker 1: most important is that the union was very clear that
Speaker 1: this was going to be a line in the sand.
Speaker 1: Their workforce had to be paid wages where they could
Speaker 1: support themselves. And then the superintendent who agreed with that.
Speaker 1: I mean, this was a monumental raise. The question was
Speaker 1: how can the district afford it? So with that alone,
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of common ground. The
Speaker 1: superintendent agreed that a significant raise was necessary. He agreed
Speaker 1: that health insurance should cover not just the employees but
Speaker 1: their families. That's a big deal. But the biggest obstacle
Speaker 1: was just doing the math. And so that made me
Speaker 1: feel like over time we were going to reach agreement.
Speaker 1: We just needed to stick with it, you know, dig deep,
Speaker 1: look at the finances, come up with several scenarios, several
Speaker 1: different ways of financing it. And so that happened, and
Speaker 1: I believe the union will ratify the contract today. That's
Speaker 1: good news. It's interesting to hear that you were involved
Speaker 1: early on. We just didn't know, you know, because I
Speaker 1: felt relief when I read the news that you stepped in,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know that you were already behind the
Speaker 1: scenes exactly. Oh yeah, very much so. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm not somebody that jumps in front of camera, you know,
Speaker 1: to me either, I had no need to grandstand, even
Speaker 1: though I was being hit by the press for quote
Speaker 1: unquote not being involved. It was more important for me
Speaker 1: to get to resolution than it was to worry about
Speaker 1: whether I was being criticized. So that's a relief, you know,
Speaker 1: it's good. It's actually great to hear you say that.
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on. I know you've got a luck
Speaker 1: going on. But we really wanted to reflect on that
Speaker 1: moment because we had very emotional listeners calling in saying
Speaker 1: exactly what you said. I've got to have two jobs.
Speaker 1: I can't afford to sleep somewhere crazy, and it really
Speaker 1: you know, when we heard the almotion and tears from
Speaker 1: our listeners calling in, from moms calling in who are working,
Speaker 1: it was very striking and very moving. And you know,
Speaker 1: one thing that we have to figure out in our city.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to get to the point of living
Speaker 1: in a tent in order to get help. So I
Speaker 1: am very very worried that right now we're going to
Speaker 1: see another real big increase in homelessness because of the protections,
Speaker 1: the COVID protections going away and massive evictions taking place,
Speaker 1: and so one thing that I would love to follow
Speaker 1: up with you is to let listeners know that the
Speaker 1: city Council did pass protections for tenants, and I'm just
Speaker 1: worried that people won't know that those protections were passed.
Speaker 1: So I would love to give you that information so
Speaker 1: that your listeners, the ones that we're calling you in tears,
Speaker 1: know that there is help from the city available. Well,
Speaker 1: that's great to hear, and we will absolutely love to
Speaker 1: have that follow up with you. Mayor Karen Bass, thank
Speaker 1: you for coming up. I'm just looking here. They're telling
Speaker 1: me that you are the fourth so I've been here
Speaker 1: for I don't have tens of years, but the fourth mayor.
Speaker 1: We've had on Mara Han y Had Dragosa, Margo Setti,
Speaker 1: now Mayor Bass. I'm very very proud to know that.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming with us. I'm always
Speaker 1: happy to be on. Thank you, you take your care
Speaker 1: of goodbye. It's like Mayor Bascott the right energy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good energy in the morning. Right, Interesting because I thought
Speaker 1: when I read oh she stepped into mediate, what was
Speaker 1: the like? Why right now? Why this hour? What was
Speaker 1: the straw this hour? Turns out she said she was
Speaker 1: involved from the get go, right. It was almost like
Speaker 1: she came in to save the day. But nope, she
Speaker 1: was there the whole time. Um, all right, Mark, Mayor Han,
Speaker 1: you're taking me back. What do we talk to Mayor
Speaker 1: Han about? That was very early on when we were
Speaker 1: doing the show from Hollywood and Highland. Oh do you
Speaker 1: remember the conversations? I can't remember what challenges we were
Speaker 1: facing then with Mayor Han two thousand and five or
Speaker 1: early two thig challenges on Air with Ryan Seacrest. I
Speaker 1: was gonna do it for us Tomorrow we're back with
Speaker 1: the Ryan's roses, Sisney, what's the plan till eleven? I've
