It went by way too fast, but I did. 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: What about you? Ken? I you know what I did. 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: I had an emergency plan in case Barbara Ferrere went 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: back to the indoor mask mandate in La County. I 35 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: had already decided a couple weeks ago to escape to 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: Orange County, and I did two things. I went to 37 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Friends training camp on Saturday morning. Experience 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: I will not repeat. I want to say I'm jealous, 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: but I guess not. It's way too many people, way 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: too many people. It was at UC Irvine where they 41 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: where they have their workouts, because obviously it's a little 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: cooler down there than being up, you know, in La Parts. 43 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: And it was a season ticket holder day, so you 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: come and you get to get in at nine thirty. Things. 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know, maybe because I didn't look closer. You 46 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: can start to come in there at nine thirty, but 47 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: you actually can't get to the field until eleven. I 48 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: didn't know that. I got there about ten thirty and 49 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: there was already a mob scene there of people, and 50 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: they had a couple of giveaways, and there was a DJ, 51 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: and there was one concession stand that had way too 52 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: long a line. But we were trapped in this little 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: area outside the area where the fields were. And then 54 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: you know, at eleven o'clock, all right, we're gonna go in. 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: It was eleven ten, eleven fifteen, and then they funneled 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: everybody through one little walk to get to the fields, 57 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: and it took a fifteen or twenty minutes. And then 58 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 1: when I got to the fields, all the stands are full, 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: so you're not going to get a seat. And then 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: they announced the team's not coming out till twelve thirty. 61 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: I was like twelve thirty. Yeah. Meanwhile, it was a 62 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: bunch of kids throwing footballs around. They looked like water boys, 63 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: they were, and people were cheering that because there was 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: really nothing else to do. Like one a girl, she 65 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: made a nice catch, yeah, and like, why am I? 66 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: So I went over to the area where they had 67 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: like food good wagons or whatever, and it was like 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: an hour and a half line for a hot dog. 69 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: And I thought of you when I said, I'm not 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: going to wait an hour and a half for a 71 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: hot time. Oh, I'm glad you didn't. Oh all the 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: way do we get to the better story? But all 73 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: the food was not exactly healthy at this place, and 74 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: the lines were tremendous. It was all kettle cord and 75 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: snow cones and hot dogs and hamburgers and French fries. 76 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: But the lines were so what time is it now, 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: it's not even twelve? Goodbye? I left. But the experience 78 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: was Sunday. I've never I haven't been to the Orange 79 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: County Fair and probably twenty years. I went there with 80 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: a friend of mine who was visiting once and we 81 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: had nothing to do, and I said, well, now let's 82 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: check out the Orange County Fair. That's a much better experience, 83 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: except I do not recommend it for Debora Mark because 84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: there's no vegan food there, right, Oh my god. First 85 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: of all, it's like eighty percent of what you see 86 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: there is just food. There's just foodstands everywhere, and most 87 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: of it is, yes, hot dogs and beef. I don't 88 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: understand that because I mean back in the day, I 89 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: under there was no big sign that said come over 90 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: here for a nice salad. There are plenty of delicious 91 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: avocados and lentils here, I bet you. There are people 92 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: and all that fried stuff. Oh yeah, they have. You know, 93 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 1: they do the fried Oreo and they do the fried 94 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: cookie dough was a new one I hadn't seen. Well, 95 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: oreos are vegan ken I don't know what they're frying 96 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: them in, but oreos are vegans. Yeah, I didn't ask 97 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: what oil it was. I actually, well, I did try 98 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: the fried cookie dough. But basically they just take donut 99 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: dough and they put the cookie dough filling inside and 100 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: they dropped the whole thing in a fryer. That's all 101 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: they do. It was nothing special, respectacular, but people will 102 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: always go there for the but but the big one, 103 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: Debra Mark, the one I know who really disgusted you. 104 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: That is freaking everywhere. The large turkey legs, the barbecue 105 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: turkey legs. I remember going to the Renaissance Fair when 106 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: I lived in the Bay Area many many years ago, 107 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: and I remember people walking around. I have not been 108 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: to the Orange County Fair, but if you weren't a vegan, 109 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: then right, No, I wasn't. But it's just so I 110 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: don't want to offend anybody. Everybody looks like Henry. They 111 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: walking around with this big boat like Fred Flintstone. Yes, 112 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: this massive turkey leg and they're chopping on it. And 113 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: what's weird is that it's almost everywhere. Anywhere there was 114 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: a stand that was selling either hot dogs or meat, 115 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: they also had the turkey legs and they're just sitting 116 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: there for you to see on the grill. And you 117 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: didn't get one. No, I did not get We were 118 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: full by that time. I don't like dark, dark meat 119 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: a big fan, even though I know white breast meat 120 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: is not as healthy and it's kind of well, they're 121 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: both fatty, but it's not as it's not. It's dry normally, 122 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: whereas the turkey leg the dark meat is generally moister. 123 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: But I'm not a big fan. No, I did get 124 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: a corn dog, sorry about that. And I did get 125 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: the fried cookie dough. And there was one place that 126 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: had the best potato chips. Well, you like French fries 127 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: and I like potato chips. Really the potato chips. No, 128 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: there's no. I don't know what the oil was. I 129 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: didn't ask see if you had been with me, all 130 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: these dopey questions would have been asked exactly, and I 131 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: would have asked them and I would have annoyed you. 132 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: But I mean the rest of it is rides, which 133 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: I don't really participate in. There's some exhibits. Oh, there's animals, 134 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: lots of animals. I thought maybe not to do that. 135 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: I looked at them in the cages. There was goats. 136 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: You probably wouldn't like it, though, because they're they're they're 137 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: kind of bored in there, sitting there. I guess they're there. 138 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: They give out awards for livestock awards. They have this 139 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: big plaque where the winner is from the last number 140 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: of years are listed in its cows and goats and 141 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: sheep and I forget what else, And then I made it. 142 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I finally made it over to your section, which was 143 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: the vegetables. They actually had like little display. People got 144 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: awards for having like the largest tomato at the largest cucumber. 145 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: That thing was massive. I forget how long it was. 146 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: There was all sorts of displays for people that had that. 147 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: They weren't selling any to eat. They were just there 148 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: for people who grow them just for a prize. Like 149 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: it was a large pumpkin and a large potato was 150 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: all awards for usually the largest because I don't know 151 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: how else you'd You can't really judge the flavor because 152 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: otherwise you'd have to eat it, so it's really just 153 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: on display there with the name of the grower and stuff. 154 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a fun time. I recommend it. 155 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: I don't recommend Rams Training Camp, but I I do 156 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: recommend the Range County Fair. The other thing, of course 157 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: it happened, is that none of us is a billionaire. Yeah. 158 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: I was a little bummed about that. Yeah. When I 159 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: looked at those numbers, and I'm an idiot like every 160 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: one else. When I saw them come out Friday night, 161 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: I said, that looks like someone's gonna win, because they 162 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 1: were kind of spread around thirteen thirty sixty five, fifty 163 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: seven sixty seven. There was one in each you know, three, one, three, four, five, six, 164 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: and the mega ball was fourteen plus. We have so 165 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: many people who have entered this now there's probably going 166 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: to be a winner. And then I heard Saturday morning, Illinois, 167 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: I know one winning ticket in that little state. It's 168 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: not a little state, but honestly Illinois. Who thinks about Illinois? Nobody? 169 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: And the place was the plane, which I think is 170 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: near the airport outside of Chicago, where I actually was 171 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: about a month ago, but I don't think. I was 172 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: at a speedway gas station in the plane, so but 173 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: I went there for a wedding, so I was actually 174 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: in Chicago, but I didn't think about buying the lottery tickets. 175 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: According to lottery law in Illinois, this person and just 176 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: one ticket does not have to come forward ever, I 177 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: would interest would you if you didn't know? No, I 178 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: don't think you should. People are going to find out 179 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: and probably disclose who you are. Don't you think your 180 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: friends and family Eventually somebody you're going to have to 181 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: tell somebody and you have to cash the ticket. Yeah, 182 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: So there could be a leak coming from the lottery 183 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: office or from somebody you know, sooner or later, although 184 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: it says here there was a big winner years ago. 185 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: What state was it. I think it was like Maryland 186 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: or somewhere. A million, the billion and a half and 187 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: that person. I don't think every everybody just forgot about them. Well, 188 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: it's not like you're going to post it on Facebook. 189 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you would get a lot of likes, but 190 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: you'd get a lot of people that want to be 191 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: your new bff. Yeah, you know they tell you that 192 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: to do that. I didn't you see all those stories 193 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: they came out Friday about what to do if you win, 194 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: And the first thing to do is do nothing and 195 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: then maybe contact financial advisors and stuff like that. But 196 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: certainly do not blab on Facebook or or Deborah Mark 197 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: posted even I wouldn't post that you'd bragged though, if 198 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: you want like a thousand dollars, wouldn't you I would? 199 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: It would probably would, yeah, because I never win anything, 200 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: so that would be that would be very exciting. Yeah. 201 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: Apparently there was a big ticket sold in Fresno, the 202 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: top ticket in the state of California. That was the 203 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: only big prize out here, and you would have figured 204 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: that we would probably have the most tickets sold, but 205 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: it was Oh, I don't have the amount here, but 206 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: there was a where you have most of the numbers, 207 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: but not all of the numbers. You have to match 208 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: all five numbers. Oh, four million dollars. A ticket sold 209 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: at a Van's grocery store in Fresno was worth four 210 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: million dollars. So that's it. Now we go back to 211 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: normal life. We stopped talking about that, and you gotta 212 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: moved all right. I got a lot to get to today. 213 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: Steve Gregory is going to come on next hour and 214 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: take a look at that six Street bridge and downtown 215 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: Los Angeles has been the subject of a lot of 216 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: high jinks. Questionable behavior is I think is what they 217 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: called it. A lot. If it's not legal, you can't 218 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: block the roadway, you can't do all sorts of car 219 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: stunts that they do. There's graffiti going on, there's people 220 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: climbing up in the archways. It is still being overrun. 221 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: But LAPD, I guess to some aspect, has come up 222 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: with a sort of a plan. We're going to talk 223 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: about that with Steve Gregory. What they did over the weekend, 224 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday, so they called it an 225 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: enforcement action and they were out there for five or 226 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: six hours, just kind of patrolling and looking closely what 227 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: everybody was doing, and questioning people if it looked like 228 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: they were engaging in questionable behavior. So Steve will come 229 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: along at three o'clock after two thirty. Even though Barbara 230 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: Ferrer and the La County Health Department did not pull 231 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: the indoor mask mandate on those of us in La County, 232 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: it looks like there's still some schools that are going 233 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: to require the kids to wear the masks in the classes. 234 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: And we're going to talk to one parent clearly not 235 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: happy with that continuing. So that's all coming up right 236 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: here on the John and Ken Show on KFI. I 237 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: see that we have a flash flood warning for some 238 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: sections of riverside in San Bernardino County this afternoon in 239 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: place until three forty five. You've probably been noticing for 240 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: quite some time a number of days now we're having 241 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: this monsoonal weather. Oh and by the way, it rained 242 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: on me yesterday at the Orange County Fair. Oh no, 243 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: there was showers. Did you bring an umbrella? It wasn't 244 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: heavy enough for an umbrella, It was just drops. And 245 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: then there may have been one little intermittent portion where 246 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: a little bit heavy. It was kind of weird though, 247 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: but I liked it. It was sort of like a 248 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: throwback to, you know, live in another parts of the 249 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: country where during the summer or other times of the year, 250 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: it might just drizzle a rain a little bit. So 251 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: it was and plus it was nice and cloudy. It 252 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: was just very humid, but it kept it kind of 253 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: kind of interesting for the afternoon. So, yeah, they're going 254 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: to keep these in place until three forty five. And 255 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: did I see that story that they're warning the homeless 256 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: not to head up to these to these flash flood 257 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: areas to camp or something like, Yeah, yeah, they want 258 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: them to stay away. They're gonna get wiped out if 259 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: there's one of these massive flash flooding storms. It just 260 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: kind of all the mud comes down the hillside. Coming 261 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: up after two thirty, I'm going to talk to a 262 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: parent who, like other parents in this particular school, are 263 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: not happy that their kids are going to have to 264 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: continue to wear masks indoors. Even though the county indoor 265 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: mask mandate was not reinstated, it looks like the schools, 266 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: some of them, are going to do a different thing. 267 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that after the news at two thirty. 268 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: If you've we haven't talked about this in a while, 269 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: and that's the whole shoplifting craze. I don't think it's 270 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: died down. I just don't think it gets as much 271 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: attention as it did a few months ago. And there 272 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: was the spectacular cases where people would go into the 273 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: jewelry store and smash open the jewelry case and take 274 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: everything and run. But it's still happening on a daily basis, 275 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: particularly in the big cities of this country. Is shoplifting. 276 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: There was quite an eye opener in the New York 277 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: Post over the weekends. CNN also did a story about 278 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: what some of the stores are doing to try to 279 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: combat rampant shoplifting. And anybody knows in the last I 280 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: don't know a number of years, when you go into 281 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: certain stores, like drug stores, you find some items that 282 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: are locked up, right. So for me, I think one 283 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: time I was looking for a little just pair of headphones. 284 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: It'll plug in headphones, it'll cause that much twenty bucks, 285 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: fifteen bucks locked up, not locked up, but on one 286 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: of those racks where you can't remove it without somebody 287 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: coming by with a key. I think I also found 288 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: that to be the case. I'd to look for stuff 289 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: dealing with shaving. I guess razors and stuff they'd sometimes 290 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: lock up, so I wouldn't say high end stuff, but 291 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: certainly more high priced. But the story in the New 292 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: York Post concerns in New York City a couple of 293 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: the drug stores apparently are locking up things as small 294 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: as cans of spam. Imagine that they actually have a 295 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: picture of a can of spam. They put it and 296 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: I guess it's in some sort of unbreakable casing. It's 297 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: see through, so you can see it's spam, but you 298 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: have to have somebody come and unlock it from the case. 299 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: It's really bizarre. Others are locking up toothpaste, soap, dawn, 300 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: dish detergent. I this is what it's come to, and 301 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: it's obviously an irritant to shoppers. Many of these store 302 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: managers who are interviewed in these stories say, we have 303 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: to weigh the cost of shoplifting versus how much this 304 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: is going to cause our customers to just kind of go, 305 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: I'm not staying around here to wait for somebody to 306 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: come down here and unlock the spam. Also dollar eighty 307 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: nine cans of star kissed tuna. Wow. Although people were 308 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: surprised because they saw other items that we're more expensive, 309 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: like some can of soup that caused five dollars and 310 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: forty nine cents Amy's soup and what that is? Oh 311 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: it's organic. Oh that's why it's more expensive. Okay, those 312 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: weren't locked up. But I think the reason for that 313 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: is that sometimes the shoplifters just go for the spam. 314 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: They're not going to go for Amy's organic soup. Who 315 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: wants that. They're going for this pam because it's a 316 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: more common item than people eat or they can sell somewhere. 317 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: In fact, it looks like the Biden administrations working really 318 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: hard to get the online retailers to make people show 319 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: proof of purchase when they try to resell this stuff. 320 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going, but that apparently is 321 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: another one of the efforts being made to stop people 322 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: who steal from reselling the stuff. That if you're going 323 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: to put it online, you're going to try to sell 324 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: the stuff you just stole from the store, you're going 325 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: to have to present some sort of proof of purchase. Yeah, 326 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: it says, yeah. See, here's one. They had to unlock 327 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: the case for thirty eight dollars electric razor. Not happy 328 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: with that, but I can see that. And the story 329 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: is a man came into one of these drug stores 330 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: and he asked the employee to unlock the glass case 331 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: for a thirty eight dollar electric razor. Can anybody guess 332 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 1: what happened next? He bolted out of the store with it. 333 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: So but that just means he has to present himself 334 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: directly to somebody at the store as a witness of 335 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: his theft. See, apparently what's happened over the years is that, 336 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: Remember the thing used to be with shoplifters, the alarm 337 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: would go off when you go out the door, particularly 338 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: like in the department stores. But those get ignored now 339 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: and if there's lots of them, there's nobody. There's nobody's 340 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: standing at the door to find out who exactly did 341 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you walked out with an inventory tag 342 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: still on your clothes or something like that. So the 343 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: store is decided that wasn't going to work. A bell 344 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: going off, an alarm going off wasn't going to stop anybody. 345 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: So now the next tactic is to lock up more 346 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: of the stuff. According to a writer of history says 347 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: shoplifting came of age in American nineteen sixty five, this 348 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: woman wrote the book The Steel, a Cultural History of Shoplifting. 349 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: The FBI reported that year it had jumped ninety three 350 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: percent in the prior five years and was the nation's 351 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: fastest growing form of larceny. So if you want to 352 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: look back to the time where it all turned in 353 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: terms of store theft, you might look back to nineteen 354 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: sixty five. Three years later official said there was an 355 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 1: additional surge and young teenagers shoplifting, and that was the 356 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: whole hippie movement. The thing we're hearing today. And I 357 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: saw this quote in one of the stories about the shoplifting. 358 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: Somebody shrugged and said, well, that just means they need it, right, 359 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: if they took it, well, they need it, don't you understand. 360 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: There's a lot of poor people out there and you 361 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: got to eat. Really, that's the excuse. And this we 362 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: heard during the twenty riots after the death of George Floyd. 363 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: There's a couple of far wackle pundits to appear on 364 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: the cable news channels trying to rationalize the shoplifting is 365 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: merely away for the poor people to get back at 366 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: the rich people. But it doesn't because if the store 367 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: gets ripped off enough, all they're going to do is 368 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: raise the prices on everyone, which includes the other poor 369 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: people that actually shop at the store and pay for 370 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: their merchandise. So these are the tactics being taken. But honestly, 371 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: and that's how I felt that day. I went to 372 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: the store and I was looking for the little headphones 373 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: and I saw that they were locked up, and I said, 374 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't see anybody around, nobody. I think there might 375 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: have been somebody or at the front of the store. 376 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: And the person at the front of the store was 377 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: the checkout person, so they were dealing with the customers 378 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: in line trying to buy stuff. So I should forget it. 379 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: I'm walking out of here and just buy them online. 380 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: And isn't that what all of this is going to do. 381 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: It's going to drive more people just to do online 382 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: purchases rather than sit there and have to wait for 383 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: a store clerk to come around. I wouldn't and unlocked. 384 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: Have you seen this any store you go into the 385 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: stuff locked up? Oh? Absolutely? Yeah? I mean right now, 386 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: the story is about New York City, and I imagine 387 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: there maybe parts of LA will do this. I don't 388 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: think everywhere that most people live in the more suburban 389 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: areas that they're doing this. They're just doing this in 390 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: the places where they get ripped off the most. Yeah, 391 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: a lot of it's meat too, Debra. There's a Kenna 392 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: lu Kanahan here that's locked up. I don't get that 393 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: they ignored the soup. All right, we got more coming 394 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: up on the John and Ken Show. We'll talk to 395 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: a mom who's upset with a school that is making 396 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: the kids continue to wear masks indoors. And this school 397 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: is in La County, where were did not resume the 398 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: indoor mask mandate. For the rest of us, The John 399 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: and Ken Show right here on KFI and Steve Gregory 400 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: will be along after three o'clock as we continue to 401 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: watch the one of the most fascinating sies involving the 402 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: breakdown of civilization, and that's the new six Street bridge 403 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: in downtown Los Angeles. Barely a nights go by without 404 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: a story about it. Costing nearly six hundred million dollars, 405 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: it simply connects downtown Los Angeles with the Boyle Heights 406 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: neighborhood across the way, and it has resulted in a 407 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: spectacle of incidents, many of them as the media says questionable. 408 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: There's a small segment that just thinks, well, you know, 409 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: this is the culture, and this bridge belongs to the people, 410 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: and they should be able to go there and do 411 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: whatever they want to do. It's like a park a park. Well, 412 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: one of the thoughts is to actually close it to 413 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: car traffic, which is weird, but I guess possible in 414 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: these anti car days. We'll talk about all this with 415 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: Steve after the News at three o'clock. The big announcement 416 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: that came down late last week is that the County 417 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: of la will not reimpose the indoor mask mandate. I 418 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: think besides trying to hide behind some questionable metrics numbers 419 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: that they kept trotting out, it would have just been 420 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: a huge embarrassment. And even some of the experts in 421 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: the field, even those who favor and highly recommend you 422 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: wear masks indoors, are now saying, let people handle this 423 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: their own way. Let people make the decision for themselves 424 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: as to whether or not they want to wear a mask. 425 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: In fact, I was noticing that when I walked around 426 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: the Orange County Fair yesterday, I would give you a 427 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: figure of one to two percent of people were masked. 428 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, it's outdoors. It's probably not a 429 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: place where are likely to pick up COVID if you're 430 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: that nervous about it. But there's still going to be 431 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: a percentage of people. I didn't want to mock them. 432 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: I don't think you should, but they still feel the 433 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: need to mask up, even outdoors. We're going to talk 434 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: now to a parent. She wrote to us. She has 435 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: three children that attend school in Na Hacien de La 436 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: Pointe Unified School District, and they've got a change dot 437 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: org petition out there because it appears the school district 438 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: is still going to make the kids mask up despite 439 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: the fact that La County's not going in this direction. 440 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: Let's get Melissa Valencia on the air. Melissa there, Hi, Yes, 441 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: I'm here. How are you. I'm good, Thank you, Thanks 442 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: for having me on. No offense. But you have a 443 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: voice like a ten year old three high I get 444 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: that often. All right, So what's the deal? You have 445 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: three kids in the schools of this district? All right? 446 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: What's going on there? Yes, so I have a high schooler, 447 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: middle schooler, and elementary student all in Hacienda La Planta 448 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Unified School District and last week they mandated that all 449 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: students employees must wear masks indoors. And then, you know, 450 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: parents were very upset. We started, there was a petition, 451 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: so I think you know, they felt the pressure going 452 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: around from the parents. So we just got word that 453 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: they are now making it. They're strongly suggesting that students 454 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: wear masks indoors, but that teachers, all employees, volunteers, adults 455 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: must wear masks indoors. Still, but the students it's going 456 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: to be optional. Huh. Yeah, So the employees just got 457 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: an email at one thirty today that it's going to 458 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 1: be optional for students. Well, look at that. You've got 459 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: a pretty fast victory. When did you start this campaign 460 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: a few days ago? It? Yeah, it just you know, 461 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: we were really upset. Parents wanted to show the district 462 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: that you know this, this isn't going to happen now 463 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: that the kids are not in Are they in school now? 464 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: Is there summer classes or something going on? Is it? 465 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: School starts soon, doesn't it? Yeah? School starts on Wednesday 466 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: this week? Are you kidding me? The third of August? Yes, 467 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: I saw a sign in one neighborhod I Dult through 468 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: the day August fifteenth, I thought that was early the 469 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: third of August. I guess they get done pretty early. Yes, yeah, 470 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: they get out early. So do you think it was 471 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: just all of your parents getting together and always raising 472 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: a stink over this that they just they withdrew the 473 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: mandatory decision for students. I'd like to think so, because 474 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, they made this. They voted on this mandate 475 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: a day before the La County Health Department was going 476 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: to vote on it, so you know, it seemed like 477 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: they were gonna make their decision regardless of what Ela 478 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: County was going to decide on the indoor masked mandate. 479 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: So you know, they all last year our school district 480 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: said they were following La County's guidelines and that that's 481 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: how they were voting. So I think what happened was 482 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: exactly what you just laid out. They made this decision, 483 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: then they found out like the next day that was Thursday, 484 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: by the way, and they didn't vote. The La County 485 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: Health Department is led by Barbara Ferrere, not a doctor 486 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: who makes this decision based on some sort of ridiculous 487 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: statistics as she rambles off, and she announced Thursday, we're 488 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: not going back to the indoor mask mandate, we're gonna 489 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: pause that decision. So I think what happened was your 490 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: school board said, well, we can't be the one to 491 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: do this if the county's not doing it. I'm thinking 492 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: that's probably what they decided. Yeah, so it's actually Jill Rojas, 493 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: our assistant superintendent of human Resources. She's the one who 494 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: sent out the statement today. So really we don't even 495 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: know who's where they're getting their data from. Um like, 496 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: how they're making these decisions. None of the board members 497 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: have medical PhDs. I don't know, you know, that's that's 498 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: our question. How are they making these decisions off of 499 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: what data? They said there's an uptick in positive cases, 500 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: but then the Ali County is saying, you know, there's 501 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: a decrease. So yeah, we're at a point. We're at 502 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: a point now where people should decide for themselves. It's 503 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what the country decided collectively, 504 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: whether or not the few extreme experts like the Barbara 505 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: Farreres like it or not, people have decided you can 506 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: choose for yourself whether to mask up. Did this bother 507 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: your children wearing masks in school? Did they ever say anything? Oh? Yes, 508 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: they hated it. It was hard. The biggest complaint was 509 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: it's hard for them to breathe. That was it was 510 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: very uncomfortable. I was always told me lists so they'll 511 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: get used to it, and some of them embrace it. 512 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: Didn't happen. No, No, especially in the summer. You know, 513 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: it's not it's really not safe for the kids to 514 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: be wearing masks in this heat, even indoors. It's it's 515 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: just it's too much. It's not safe for the kids. Oh, 516 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: but they were going to let them take the masks 517 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: off if they play outside during recess or something. That 518 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna least give them that because some schools weren't 519 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: letting them do that a couple of years ago. And 520 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: to our mask indoors and outdoors, yes, that was our 521 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: that was our district last year for part of the 522 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: school year. All right, well, well then, good going. I mean, 523 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad you just got the word an hour ago. 524 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: We had you lined up as a guest from yesterday, 525 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: so we didn't know that they were going to get 526 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: this change of the decision already. But that's that's great news. Yeah, 527 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: we're still pushing for you know, m because volunteers still 528 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: need to wear masks. They still need to be vaccinated 529 00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: to volunteer. You know, it's just it's it seems corrupt. 530 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: You know, we have elections coming up for our district board. 531 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: But I'm pretty I believe you need to be vaccinated. 532 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Well, that's hard enough to find people 533 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: to volunteer. You want to start putting requirements on them 534 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: like vaccinations and testing and blah blah blah. Good lords overboard. 535 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: All right, Melissa, thanks for talking to me. I appreciate it. 536 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: And then good going for speaking out on this. Thank 537 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: you so much for having me. Okay, that is Melissa Valencia. 538 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: It's got three kids that attend the Hacienda La Pointe 539 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Unified School District schools and as you heard her say, 540 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: they voted last week to impose the indoor mask mandate. 541 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, at least gotta love the 542 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: month to undo that. But no, they start on Wednesday, 543 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: August third. They're back in school already. H August is here, 544 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: kids are going back. Summer's over, right, Deborah, Market's over. 545 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: It's pretty much over. You got to move on. But 546 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: she found out about an hour ago that they changed 547 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: their mind and they're going to make it at least 548 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: for the students. It's up to you. You decide whether 549 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 1: or not they strongly recommend it. But you don't have 550 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: to mask up if you don't want to. It looks 551 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: like employees, though, have to wear the masks. All right. 552 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: We got more coming up here on the John and 553 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: Ken Show on KFI. A few listeners were responding to 554 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: my report earlier this hour about stuff they're starting to 555 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: lock up in the stores because of the crazy shoplifting 556 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: phase that we have going on. I don't think it's 557 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: going to be a phase. We continue to have laws 558 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: with no bail and no consequences, and prosecutors like George Gasconne. 559 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: New York City has a pretty horrible DA. Two people 560 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: are going to know that this stuff is there for 561 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: the taking. And one said that he went to his 562 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: local store and he saw that they had locked up 563 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: the cough drops. Another guy said they had locked up 564 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: the men's underwear in the store. He went to Another 565 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: listener emailed to say that he had stopped at a 566 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: shoe store and the police departments already taking report. I 567 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: overheard the employee said the same guy hit the store 568 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: two days ago, walked in, grabbed items including a skateboard 569 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: and walked out. It was like the van shoes that 570 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: was kind of cool shoes that young people like. So 571 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 1: that's what's really going on out there. So we have 572 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: to pay the consequence. They're gonna tell us, don't wear 573 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: any flashy jewelry, don't wear anything expensive when you're out 574 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: in public that might get the attention of a thief. 575 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: And now when you go into the stores, everything's going 576 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: to be locked up. That is I'm not even gonna 577 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: say a value. I think it's what they've decided are 578 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: common shoplifted items. Like we talked earlier this hour, nobody 579 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: really cares about the five dollars can of soup because 580 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: they probably can't resell that. But if they can resell 581 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: the spam quickly, or the underwear or the cough drops 582 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: or they probably know. I mean, this becomes an art 583 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: form for people who do this quote for a living 584 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: steel stuff and they sell it. They know exactly what 585 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: they want where they're going into these stores, and of 586 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: course without any consequences, it's getting easier and easier to do. 587 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: My guest after three o'clock will be the KFI News 588 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: Department's own Steve Gregory with the full up data on 589 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: the wonderful six Street bridge in downtown LA. That bugger 590 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: costs nearly six hundred million dollars, took years to complete, 591 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: and it's already being defaced overrun. It's become a spectacle 592 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: and embarrassment. But you know, others are apparently seeing it 593 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: as a welcome to the neighborhood. This is who we are, 594 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: so come and enjoy. This is our playground. Come and 595 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: do what you want here. Yeah, climb up on the 596 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: archways and fall to your death. Yeah, I'm waiting for 597 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: that to happen. He'll tell us about LAPD's actions, their 598 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: plan for this. Kevin de Leone, the councilman that's his 599 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: district that includes the bridge, said that he just what's 600 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: really funny. What's the word that he used here? He 601 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: doesn't want this to taint the city's image. Oh yeah, 602 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: let's not take the city of Los Angeles's image with 603 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: the homeless and the crime that we have going on 604 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: right now. Let's not make that bridge and all the 605 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,479 Speaker 1: shenanigans that's going on there make things worse, all right, 606 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: So we move over to pick on a vegan day. Actually, 607 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: this story is good news for you although looks like 608 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: our technical director Eric has a little fun for you. 609 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: But the headline eating a burger and fries every day 610 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: can raise your risk of Alzheimer's. Oh well, then I 611 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. Well, you eat fries, 612 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: though hardly. I told John to stop bringing me them, 613 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: even though it was very nice of him. It's not 614 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: good for my weight. So yeah, what was it showing? Yeah, 615 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: I've gained a couple of pounds just from John's fries. 616 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I have no willpower and I eat 617 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff beforehand, and then he brings me 618 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: the fries. So he has stopped. But again, I'm grateful, 619 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: Eric told me. Somebody called the moistline complaining that I 620 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: was not grateful to John bringing me I am grateful, 621 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: and I love fries and I would eat them numerous 622 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: times a day, but I don't want to gain weight. Okay, sorry, 623 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: I just had to left that out. Ken, thanks for 624 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: being avocados, I don't know. Oh yeah, ye, your avocados too, 625 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: But avocados are healthier than fries, so I'm not giving 626 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: up my avocado habit. So this story was deceptive because 627 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: I looked at it and it said, eating a burger 628 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: and fries every day can raise your risk of Alzheimer's. 629 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: But actually it's about processed foods. And processed foods go 630 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: far beyond just eating a hamburger and fries. Do you 631 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: ever look up debrah mark kind of what a processed 632 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: food is about. I know that it's not healthy, and 633 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: I try to not eat foods, and when I do 634 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: read labels that say that, I try not to eat 635 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: those things. So technically, food processing is the transformation of 636 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: agricultural products into food, or one form of food into 637 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: other forms. In other words, you can take the potato 638 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: out of the field and just go into the house 639 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: and bake it or eat it right the potato. But 640 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: if you take the potato and you turn it into 641 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: French fries, guess what You've turned it into? A process food? Yes? Right, 642 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: It includes many forms, from grinding grains to making raw 643 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: flour to home cooking. And I'm looking at the list 644 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: here white flower, white pasta, white bread, potato, chips, pretzels. 645 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: You don't really see hamburgers there, You see what I'm saying. Yeah, 646 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: I do, I get you. So I thought that was 647 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: a little bit tricky. Uh, these all count this processed foods, 648 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: breakfast cereals, cheese. You don't eat cheese, tinned vegetables. I 649 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: guess that's because of the way they probably put it 650 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: into the bread, savory snacks, meat products like bacon, sausage, hams, al. Yeah, 651 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: the main products are in there, cakes and biscuits. See 652 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: that's my downfall because I do like cakes and biscuits, cakes, biscuits, bread, Yeah, 653 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: but yours has to be vegan. But still there's they're 654 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: high cal eggs in there. But I'm sure there's a 655 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: lot of process going on in those things. Brazilian researchers 656 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 1: monitor ten thousand people for ten years, and they found 657 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: that people that got a quarter of their calories from 658 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: processed foods that even include soft drinks chicken nuggets at 659 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: a twenty eight percent greater cognitive decline than those who 660 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: had less. I always question these studies of because I wonder, 661 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: and I imagine if they're paid enough and they're trustworthy enough, 662 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: they can set aside all the variables, so you're not 663 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: just dealing with something that would have happened anyway to people. 664 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: But they want people to cook more for themselves, consume 665 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: non processed foods like grains, vegetables, and fish more regularly. 666 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: About fifty eight percent of the average American diet is 667 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: from processed foods. Even in Canada it's as high as 668 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: forty eight percent. High sugar, salt, and fat content and 669 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: processed foods is behind what they think is a rapid 670 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: cognitive decline because, oh, in this term, it raises inflammation. 671 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: Let's become a very popular term now for people to 672 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: talk about diets and foods that you eat inflammation. I 673 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: was reading the Tom Brady book on how he eats, 674 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: and that's one of the things he tried to avoid 675 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: was foods that he says that he says inflame. That 676 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: includes tomatoes, Debra Market, egg plants. Oh no, he eats 677 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: avocado ice cream. I don't know if that's an inflammatory, 678 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: and I guess it's I don't think avocados is on 679 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: the list right. That sounds gross though, Yeah, but there's 680 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: the sugar. It's a processed food. Then probably down sugar 681 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: in it and stuff it may even have dairy. Apparently 682 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: at the Cubs Giants game, Deborah Mark, this is still happening. 683 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: People are running onto the field with signs encouraging you 684 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: not to eat meat, to remember we had that happening 685 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 1: a couple of NBA playoff games a few months ago, 686 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: though that was about the chickens that were being slaughtered. 687 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what this protester, but apparently this made 688 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: its way onto Twitter. What is this Inde City edits 689 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: and John Boy Media. This is a fan who was 690 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: yelling at the protester. No, he's not cheering for the 691 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: home team to win. He was. This guy's really leaning 692 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: over and screaming I love steak. Well, he's probably annoyed 693 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: that the protester held up the game, right, I mean, 694 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: why do your people have to do this? Why do 695 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: they have to show up at sporting events? Is that 696 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 1: because I don't know a sporting events are the biggest 697 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: media and all the damn hotdogs and stuff, and they 698 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: can't help but try to interfere with a sporting event. 699 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: Wh Okay, I don't know why some people do. That's 700 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: a little ridiculous. I don't we think that might love avocados. 701 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: That might be John Cobel. They made a stop and said, 702 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: with system is to Wat's it so he doesn't call 703 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: attention to himself in public. He would never do that. 704 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: Guy probably had a few beers all right.
