1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: That's the way to say it. Yeah, we got the money.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: The inflation bonus is back. You're on KFI. You just

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: need to listen for the keyword. It comes up at

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: approximately four twenty and again at how about that? And

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: there's a new way to enter the contest this time.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: So you have to pay attention to instructions from you,

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: from me, yes, and from mister golden voice. Well, you

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: can't even figure out how to open your car door.

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're gonna you know, you know

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: that is actually true. I often have trouble with that.

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't work I don't work well with electronic controls. Yeah. Well,

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: A big story a Saturday was that they believe that

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: they have arrested the man that is responsible for the

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: serial killings in Stockton, although they weren't all in Stockton,

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: but using ballistics and going back as some period of time,

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: they had determined that it looked like the same person

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: was killing people, often in the early morning hours, and

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: the man they arrested was driving through the streets of

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Stockton with a gun, possibly searching for another victim. So

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: if they're right, they may have stopped a potential next murder.

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: They got a whole lot of tips. Remember, the only

22
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: thing they put out was surveillance video of a guy

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: sort of from behind walking on the street, and he

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: was wearing like dark clothing. I don't know how you'd

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: get much out of that. But they sorted through the

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: tips and apparently they began to surveil a man by

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: the name of Wesley Brownlee, a forty three year old

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: man from Stockton. And sure enough, when they arrested him,

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: he was dressed in all black, he had a mask

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: around his neck, he had a gun, and they believe

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: he was out hunting for another victim. What is the

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: line in this story that was guaranteed to be there?

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Police said Brownlee has a criminal history. Oh, yes,

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: a criminal history. Yes, No, seriously, it's drug charges though

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: he's well, I know, but it's not. That's not already

36
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: a killer or a shooter or a gun guy we

37
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: know of, Yeah, you are right, how we how do

38
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: we know how many people he's killed? The possession of

39
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a controlled substance in nineteen ninety nine, released a parole

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: in August, and convicted again in two thousand and one

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: for transporting and selling a controlled substance yeah, well that's

42
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: all I have. He I mean, I'm not downplaying it,

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: but you know the way drug crimes are today, I know,

44
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: but it's it's it's it's that that can't be the

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: only two things that he's ever done. I know. But

46
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: they got him on drug charges. They couldn't get him

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: on harming somebody. That's kind of weird. There's a lot

48
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: of unsolved crime out there. Look at all the cold cases,

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory does who you think is behind all the

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: cold cases? It's people who have committed other crimes, drug crimes. Oh,

51
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: you think he's probably killed other people? Yes, because only now,

52
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: at age forty three, went on the spray. Well, but

53
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: now they have what they need if they have a

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: lot of unsolved shootings up in that area, it's not

55
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: just Stockton. He right, They'll they'll take the other places.

56
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: He'll take East Oakland too. Sure, they'll take his DNA

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: and they'll take the ballistics tests from the gun he has,

58
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: although he may have had other guns. And they're gonna

59
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: look at the patterns of behavior because I don't I

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: don't believe guys start at a late age forty three

61
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: is really old for a criminal, and you believe in it.

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: It's true that if small percentage of the criminals commit

63
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: most of the crimes. Yeah, so it's possible he has

64
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: killed other people. They haven't linked yet, like they have

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: linked these shootings. There was an old FBI statistic that

66
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: said six percent of the of the people in prison

67
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: committed seventy percent of the crimes. Oh, he lives in Stockton,

68
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: within three or four miles of the shooting deaths there.

69
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: But he has relatives who have lived in East Oakland,

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: where there was a shooting death last year linked to

71
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the case. So five men were ambushed and shot to

72
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: death between July eighth in September twenty seventh. What he

73
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: did was because the other killing was in April of

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and he wounded a homeless woman and

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: stocked it a week later. By the way, she was interviewed.

76
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: Did you see that interview? I had it in the

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: pile last week. We didn't get to it where she

78
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: said they kind of ignored her, but they didn't take

79
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: her seriously. When she said that this guy was a

80
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: real threat and you got to go find them, they

81
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: were like, maybe another homeless person. Yeah, they're not going

82
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: to pay attention to homeless, took a few shots at

83
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: her well, because those guys were walking and one guy

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: was in a park car when they were killed. But

85
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I guess they have somebody that specializes in this starting

86
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: to look at the ballistics from shootings and seeing its

87
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: same gun. That's a lot of unsolved crimes. So I mean,

88
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: they had they had five men killed in Stockton on

89
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: July eighth, August eleventh, August thirty of September twenty first,

90
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: September twenty seventh, So yeah, that's a lot of killings

91
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: in a short period of time, and they seemed to

92
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: be random. That definitely would trigger the idea that it's

93
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: one man out there and then you just do the

94
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: ballistic tests and maybe he was using the same gun.

95
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: That's what I believe was the case. And they nobody

96
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: was beaten, nobody was robbed, which convinced them that they

97
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: were just looking at a psycho who wanted to just

98
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: go out and shoot people, and they were following him

99
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: and apparently they finally arrested him because they thought there

100
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: was threatening behavior. He would go to parks and dark places,

101
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: he would stop and look around and then drive on,

102
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: so they thought, oh yeah, he's trying to find somebody

103
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: who's walking alone in a dark place, maybe where there's

104
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: no surveillance cameras are not a lot of lighting, and

105
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: in normal society, a guy acting that strangely and suspiciously

106
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: just should be locked up before he starts killing. Oh

107
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: and look at that, you were close. Local investigators worked

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: police in Chicago to determine whether the killings could be

109
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: linked to two twenty eighteen murders in a neighborhood. There.

110
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Videos of the suspects showed us similarity, but Chicago police

111
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: does not think that there was any link between their killing.

112
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: This man if he's lived in other places, and odds

113
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: are he has, there might be unsolved cases in all

114
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: the cities he's lived in since he became, you know,

115
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: a teenager. Yeah, because it sounds like he had some

116
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: mental illness compulsion where he had to kill people, or

117
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: maybe he had a voice is telling him he had

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: to kill people. And what really rex serial killers is

119
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: they start doing it a little closer together. And that's

120
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: what really got this story attention, because, like I mentioned,

121
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: between July and September is when he shot five men.

122
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: There's a killing that we think goes back to twenty

123
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: one and then The Homeless Woman. I think it was

124
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: also last year, but he started to really amp up

125
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: his casualty figures here, so that that's really got the

126
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: focus of inside a homicide investigator. Yeah, I've always been

127
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: fascinated by serial killers. Uh, it's something Shannon and I share.

128
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: And what Yeah, she wonder why she gave me a

129
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: book on the serial killer ones. Oh yeah, yeah. One

130
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: of the things I read in a couple of these

131
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: books is immense mental pressure builds up inside of these psychos,

132
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: right where they become obsessed with the thought of killing somebody,

133
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: and the pressure is so great that they have to

134
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: act right. It's it's it's like people who have um,

135
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: what this would be a mild comparison by compulsive behavior.

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, some people can't stop turning us a light

137
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: switch on and off, right, and and you're trying not to,

138
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: but you have to, you have to do it well.

139
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: On a much more dangerous scale, is I got to

140
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: kill somebody. I'm gonna shoot somebody. And then when they

141
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: finally shoot somebody and kill them, I have a massive relief.

142
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, and and they feel better and maybe

143
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: sometime goes by and it could just be a week,

144
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: or it could be a month or a year, and

145
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 1: then suddenly builds up again, you know, the repetitive thoughts,

146
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: and the pressure builds up inside. It's like I gotta

147
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: do it, I gotta do it, I gotta do it.

148
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: And then they do it again. And maybe this guy

149
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: was just kind of like on speed dial here, pressure

150
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: was building up very rapidly. What I like to see

151
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: is whether or not these killers live alone. I mean,

152
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: there have been something I've actually married. I remember that, Yeah,

153
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: that Wichita killer. Yeah, b t K bt K. He

154
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: had a family, Yeah, God, I remember that. I read

155
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: a book on him, and he had those disturbing photos

156
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: because he would dress up as a woman by himself

157
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: at home and take pictures of himself and I just

158
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: and he was just as he was, an unsightly large man,

159
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: just with a misshape and body and hey, he had

160
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: these bizarre drag costumes on and it was like it

161
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: was like hideous, it was. Yeah, and he had this

162
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: serial kill obsession, all right. When we come back. First

163
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: order a business is to reveal another keyword for your chance.

164
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: It's some money in the inflation bonus. Johnny Ken caf

165
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

166
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: I've been fascinated for early a long time now. It

167
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: was a year ago when Mark Zuckerberg, I hate the word,

168
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: rebranded rebranded Facebook. The name is Meta Platforms trades as

169
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Meta Stock, and the idea was to get people to

170
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: come to the Metaverse. What the hell is the Metaverse? Well,

171
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: it's one of those places where you basically put on

172
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: the virtual reality had said, and you got a little

173
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: avatar and you run around in a make believe world.

174
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: You know, where are we? A year later it's a flop.

175
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: It's called Horizon Worlds. They had a goal of a

176
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: half a million monthly active users, but in recent weeks

177
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: they dropped it to two hundred and eighty thousand. The

178
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: current tally less than two hundred thousand people, and most

179
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: visitors generally don't return to the app after the first month.

180
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: The user base continues to decline. It's apparently dominated by men.

181
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: Where it's there, it's mostly like really weird men. Of course,

182
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: because one story is a reporter went in there a

183
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: woman and she said one of the first things one

184
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: of the male avatar, I said, but expose yourself to

185
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: me please, right, and their avatars. So he wanted an

186
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: avatar to take to take off, take off her clothes

187
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: so he could look at a naked avatar. And these

188
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: these stupid avatars don't have legs. Yeah, there's there's no bottoms.

189
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: So this guy wants a legless Well maybe you want

190
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: to see the breasts legless cartoon figure to strip? Yes, well,

191
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: expose yourself generally means like a man takes out is

192
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: a woman might just show her breasts, well version of it,

193
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: nothing naked. If your avatar doesn't have like legs, you

194
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: don't have genitals either, I guess, right, right, But he

195
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: wanted to look at the top part. I'm guessing of

196
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: a cartoon. Yeah, an avatar is a little more it's

197
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: a little more realistic representation that a cartoon of a person.

198
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: But yes, it still is. And then he would get

199
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: himself an avatar erection really had no bottom. They said

200
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: they're working on the bottomless part and then you'll be

201
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: able to have an erection. Can you imagine the sad, sad,

202
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: lonely guys I know in this? I mean, is this

203
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: is this for the all time losers of humanity? They

204
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: it's called Meta's Quest. Meta has Quest virtual reality headsets.

205
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: The entry model costs four hundred dollars, but apparently a

206
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: lot of them are not even in use six months

207
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: after they were purchased. So anybody who's tried this is

208
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: basically giving up on it. It's just hard. It doesn't

209
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: sound like any and Zuckerberg thinks this is the world's future,

210
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: that people are so have such awful lives they want

211
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: to enter this VR fantasy world as it and you

212
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: can make yourself I guess an attractive avatar, right, and

213
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: feel like you're something. No, I don't know. I've never

214
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: gone on this and I never will. I don't really

215
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: understand it. I mean it says it's that that that

216
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: while she journal reporter who was asked to expose herself,

217
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: she tried. It was twenty users in all in this

218
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: comedy club it's called the Soapstone Comedy Club. You have

219
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: these separate rooms, and it was twenty stupid avatars. She

220
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: introduces herself and tried to conduct an interview, and one

221
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: user replied, you can report on me, baby, And then

222
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: one user, who is flirting with a woman in the crowd,

223
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: was interrupted by his real life girlfriend yelling obscenities at

224
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: him in the background. Yeah, how did that happen? Well,

225
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: I guess his microphone. I guess you talk, oh rhone

226
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: attract to the other characters, and she overheard that he

227
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: was flirting with the other women online. So she's still

228
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: screaming a yeah funny. Yeah, I would join to hear that.

229
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: So then again, it's you have to wear like a headset,

230
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: which people hate doing. We found this out with three

231
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: D Remember three D movies all the rage for about

232
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: a year, and then people didn't want to wear the

233
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: three D glasses or the remember Google glasses where you

234
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: could watch the Internet while you're walking, or I was

235
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: really stupid. There's another one. Then a male journal reporter

236
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: visited a house party. There was only one other person

237
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: in attendance, so he and the other avatar jumped into

238
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: a boxing ring and fought for a round, then played

239
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: beer pong. The other guy never spoke, and after ten

240
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: minutes the guy left. The reporter's avatar fell into a

241
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: pool and couldn't figure out how to get out, and

242
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: there was no one around to help. So I guess

243
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: his avatar drowned. Yeah, I guess you know you wear

244
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: the headset. But I guess you have something like a

245
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: device that this sounds like an expensive, boring wist of time.

246
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't it? Yes, I mean this is really dumb,

247
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: And of course this is a Wall Street Journal story

248
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: with like the inside information. One of the executives is

249
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: complaining that our problem is Meta employees don't use the

250
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: product enough. The truth is, if you don't, we don't

251
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: love it, how can we expect our users to love it?

252
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: Which sounds like a desperate because it's boring and stupid

253
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: cop out, because even even the weirdo nerds that work

254
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: at Meta don't want to waste their time on it.

255
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: One of the company employees runs tours in Horizon every Wednesday,

256
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: new players can find their way around. Interest peaked around

257
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: last Christmas. He was seeing four hundred unique visitors per tour.

258
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: Now it's down to a one hundred and fifty or

259
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: less in recent months. So they have all these Oh

260
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: he thinks it's going to be the future in ten years.

261
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Not now, No, in ten years ten years, it'll be

262
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: boring and stupid too. They have virtual space called Hot

263
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Girl Summer Rooftop Pool Party. Oh, there you go, except

264
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: there are no girls there. It's just the weird inseell

265
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: guys show up. Well, because a real hot girl isn't

266
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: going to spend her time with a headset looking for

267
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: avatar nerds. Now, see, if I was a programmer at

268
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: Meta I would find a way to put in avatar

269
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: girls and just have them run on programming fake ones,

270
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: right algorithms, right, fake ones, so that the guys would

271
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: at least you get the guys to come bot girls. Oh,

272
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: listen to this, this is funny. There's a murder village,

273
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: but often there's no one to kill. Everybody wants to

274
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: kill well or what they need volunteers to be killed.

275
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: Why would you do that? I'm gonna spend four hundred

276
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: dollars in a headset to go into a virtual room

277
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: to be murdered. Yeah, you're right, it says here. Research

278
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: shows that a lot of users could not find metaverse

279
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: world they like and couldn't find the other people to

280
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: hang out with. Well, every guy who goes in there

281
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: is probably going to come into school shooting. They're practicing.

282
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't get this. The number of Horizons users online.

283
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: It's something called concurrency. It trails other cyber worlds, including

284
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: vr chat and second life. Oh, I've heard a second life.

285
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: If some of these are old, this is the world

286
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: I want. The second life has been around since two

287
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: thousand and three, No wonder, I've heard of it. You

288
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: and I talked about this like ten years ago. People

289
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: can pretend to have other lives with this virtual reality.

290
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: It's hype, like green energy, like driverless cars. It's it's

291
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: all just nonsense hype. But he gets an enormous amount

292
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: of investment money from venture capitalists who have billions of

293
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: dollars and they don't know what to do with it,

294
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: so they just blow it on nonsense to see. Maybe

295
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, one out of a thousand will hit a

296
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: bunch of in cells. Yeah yeah, let me go into

297
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: the room where in cells are hanging out, are hanging

298
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: out and they want to murder somebody. Oh good, yes,

299
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: I'd like that. Maybe the guy works in my office

300
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna practice for Friday night. Johnny ken camf

301
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

302
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: You can't miss tronounce and you can't fumble. You called

303
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: it to a highart. I don't know what I said. Sorry,

304
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: Debra Mark understands I do. I understand that kind of craziness.

305
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: Have you heard me speaking, Yeah, it's kind of why

306
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: I made the I got past you. I know nothing

307
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: gets past me. All Right, we are going to talk

308
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: about the latest and the La City Council scandal involving

309
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: the three council members, well the two now who will

310
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: not quit. There's been a move made to rescind, to

311
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: strip them of their committee positions. Hopefully that'll put pressure

312
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: on them. I don't know. Daniel Guss with the Guss

313
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Report will join us at five o five to see

314
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: what he's learned about Delion and said Dio and whether

315
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: or not there's somebody else possibly gone down in the

316
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: La City Council. And it'll come up after the news

317
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: five o'clock along with One More Chance Today at money

318
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: with the inflation bonus. That word will come up, the

319
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: key word at five twenty coming up in the next segment, John,

320
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: I think this came up on the show just the

321
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: last week of the week before. We have found Ted Williams,

322
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: the legendary Major League baseball player who died twenty years ago.

323
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: We found where he is. You asked the question, and

324
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: we know, okay, we'll tell people where he is he's

325
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: not in the ground. We're gonna give you that hands.

326
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: He did pass away, but he's not in the ground

327
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: as far as we know. You're laughing. We've covered this

328
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: story from time to time, so there's been an update.

329
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: How many years have they been trying to well, supposedly

330
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: it's dead. Now extend the seven ten freeway into Pasadena.

331
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: Remember that to take the seven ten freeway, sure it

332
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: goes all the way down to Long Beach, but the

333
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: plan decades ago was to extend it north all the

334
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: way to Pasadena. That never happened. There was too much nimbism,

335
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: too many fights. They got tied up in the courts.

336
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: So I think it was either last year the year

337
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: before they made the announcement that's it. We're not going

338
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: to bother any more fighting to extend the seven ten

339
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: all the way to its original planned ending point. But

340
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: along the way, in this decades long battle, Caltrans was

341
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: making moves. Caltrans, of course, would be a big part

342
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: of the project to extend the seven ten, and so

343
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: they were buying properties. They bought homes in a neighborhood

344
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: called El Sereno. Now enough time went by that you

345
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: can imagine what happened with our homeless crisis. Anybody got

346
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: a guess. People moved in there. People moved into the

347
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: Caltrans homes because they were empty. They were vacant because

348
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Caltrans was expecting to finally get the go ahead they

349
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: could demolish them and do the freeway project. El Sereno

350
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: is actually a tiny little corner of the city of

351
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It is it's right up next to Alhambra,

352
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: not far from Pasadena. And this for for decades they

353
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: were told that eventually this place would be bulldozed. That

354
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: was the theory, and it never was bulldozed. But Caltrans

355
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: bought the homes anyway, and they laid vacant for a

356
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: long time. But as the homeless crisis began to rise,

357
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: someone got the idea, well, nobody's in these houses, let's

358
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: go live there. So some people did. They called them

359
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: reclaimed they could Caltrans homes reclaimed. When you say reclaimed,

360
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: that means to me that you originally owned it and

361
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: you're taking it back. It's a stupid buzzword euphemism created

362
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: by idiot activists. They must have a buzzword generator. All

363
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: these all these activists and agencies to create something to

364
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: confuse normal people. So back in twenty twenty is we

365
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: hit the pandemic and people were not looking to the

366
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: end shelters or congregate living. Some I think of the

367
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: activists were first. They got the idea to put some

368
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: homeless people in these homes. One of them is Benito Flores,

369
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: a sixty seven year old who's living in one of

370
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: these reclaimed homes in El Serino, really owned by Caltrans.

371
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: And this went back and forth. Yeah, you're right. This

372
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: is an LA City in the La community near a

373
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: helmbra made up of largely low income Latino residence. So

374
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: it says not only were they allowed to stay, they

375
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: were moved into these Caltrans homes becoming part of Ah.

376
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Here's the key word, transitional housing. Twenty six properties at

377
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: least from Caltrans by the housing authority of the City

378
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: of La The reason the story is back in the

379
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: news and that was the key word transitional housing, is

380
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: that time is up. You get like a two or

381
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: three year period for transitional housing. It's supposedly the only

382
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: last twenty four months. Well, there's a word in their transitional.

383
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: It means look at this, you just got a free

384
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: house from the taxpayer. Now go get a job and

385
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: figure out your own shelter issues. Yeah. The idea behind

386
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: this is is to help you get on your feet,

387
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: will put you in transmitional housing so you can start

388
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: to earn enough to get your own home somewhere and

389
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: then you move on. But you notice these people never

390
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: do so many of them just never get it together.

391
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: Nuto has no he doesn't want to leave. Well, of

392
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: course he doesn't want to leave. It's got two years

393
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: in the same house. He's been probably very happy. Yep.

394
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: He said that he ended up homeless because he was

395
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: forced to leave his one bedroom duplex near a Huntington Drive,

396
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: for which he pays two hundred dollars a month, and

397
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: he ended up living in his van. He said he

398
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: was homeless for fourteen No, yeah, because he doesn't work.

399
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: It's it's not because he had to leave an apartment.

400
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: Says he worked as a welder. What worked is the

401
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: key word. What year? Fourteen years ago? Says it wasn't

402
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: enough to afford living expenses. He became homeless. He was

403
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: living in his than for fourteen years before he got

404
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: in the reclaimed hone nonsense. I want to hear more

405
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: of the story. He wants the minimum wage to go

406
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: from fifteen dollars an hour to thirty nine dollars. Yeah,

407
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: don't you love that? I just want it would be there.

408
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: It's like I can't figure out. I can't figure out

409
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: how to get the right talents or education. No, wait

410
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: a minute, he was a good welder. That probably pays

411
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: better than minimum way it does. Sure you get like

412
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: skill weldership. Maybe he's a bad welder, or maybe he

413
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: didn't show up to his welder's job. Or maybe he

414
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: never was a welder and he just made it up.

415
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: He imagined he was a welder. Maybe he had a

416
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: hallucination from whatever drugs he was on. That's possible. Yeah,

417
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean this idea that, and you know what, I

418
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: love this this idea of that. Hey, um, I have

419
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: no skills and no education, I have any talents, but

420
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: I think at minimum I should get forty bucks an hour.

421
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: So just give it to me. It doesn't matter if

422
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: you'd go out of business paying everybody forty dollars an hour.

423
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Just just give it to me. It's just minimum wage stuff.

424
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: Minimum wage means whatever work you're doing is you have

425
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: no you have no special gifts here. Anybody can do it.

426
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's the old shaking the fry basket. Everybody

427
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: can do it. Therefore it's not worth very much Workhout

428
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: Trends bought a four hundred and sixty homes to make

429
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: way for the freeway extension. Now they're working on selling

430
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty of them. These are vacant, but

431
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: they still got to get the other people out of

432
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: the other properties that they Supposedly it's going to be

433
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: affordable housing type sales. So they want to get out

434
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: of the homeowning business, but they're going to do it

435
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: in the affordable housing way. But what the story is

436
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: about is that the people that have been in here

437
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: since the pandemic began, these homeless people, it's probably time

438
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: to move on. So they're going to sell the homes cheaply, yes,

439
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: but it's still gonna you know, it's gonna go to

440
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: middle class people mostly, right, and so they recover something

441
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: for the tax point. Yeah, and that's their obligation. Their

442
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: obligation is, since we blew a lot of money a

443
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: freeway they never built for decades, then you should you

444
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: should get a decent price for the homes, and you're

445
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to get somebody who goes to work every day. Oh,

446
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: here's a mother of two daughters, ten and thirteen. She's

447
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: also in this housing. She has to vacate October twenty fifth.

448
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: She turned down offers for housing in the San Fernando

449
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: Valley in South LA because they're far from her support

450
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: system and her kids schools, her support system. So it

451
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: doesn't say, rather than take a house elsewhere, she's gonna

452
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: go homeless with her daughters. She's hoping to hang on,

453
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: I guess or find something in else Serino. But you

454
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: see the decision do you see the decision making process

455
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: that people make, and you wonder how they get into

456
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: this position here she's among the few who can get

457
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: another home. Right, most people out on the streets can't

458
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: get a home from anybody. She can get one. She's

459
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: in this program and she doesn't want on it. It's

460
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: not in the right place, it's not near my support system.

461
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: We got coming up Johnny Ken caf I AM six

462
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,159

463
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: council members that won't quit and the fallout from the

464
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: leaked recording of their conversations, Gil Sadio and Kevin di

465
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: leone will not quit. But they've been stripped and it

466
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: is chest. You don't want to see this other pictures

467
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: and videos, Yes there is. Yes, it's very unsightly. That's

468
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: that's not the way you want to see, Gil Sadio,

469
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: we do not want to bring out the naked desk

470
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: for that one. No, they have been stripped of their

471
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: committee appointments. We'll talk to Daniel Guss with the Guss

472
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: Report his take on this. Plus you want to ask

473
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: him as anybody else in trouble on the LA City

474
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: counts potentially to any things he sniffing around. There's another

475
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: one with COVID. That's right, Paul Kricorian is COVID. Following

476
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: up from Mike Bonnon's last weekend, Well, well Tuesday is Wednesday.

477
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: He made his speech. Well remember all that sniffing he

478
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: was doing, right, I was wondering and bodily Fluid's tears. Yeah, not.

479
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: Nose was running all over the place, and probably some

480
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: splatter got on the other council members. Uh, it's Kakoreian

481
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: seated next to him. Do you know, I don't. I

482
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: don't know, but apparently they you know, they inhaled the

483
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: same air. See John there. Right, there's another round of

484
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: COVID coming. You're not prepared, and it's going to start

485
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: to get that new booster. Bonden patient zero for the

486
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: new COVID at break this one marked down. The day

487
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: started with him, can you got the new booster? I

488
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: did not. I've been thinking about it. I just haven't

489
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger on it. I think I'm going to

490
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: do it on Friday after. I haven't gotten the flu

491
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: shot either. Oh God, really you did? I got the Yes,

492
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: I got the flu No. I told you my theory

493
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: on the flu shot. It's worthless, I know, but this

494
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: time they don't have the right string. But this year

495
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: they say they do. This year, they years they say

496
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: thirty percent effective. This year they think it's spot on.

497
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out one day that all those flu

498
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: shots built up some terrible substance in your birth. You'll

499
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: grow like a third shoulder or something on it. The uh,

500
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: I still want They didn't do the research on the

501
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: on the COVID shot. No, but I know enough people

502
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: that have gotten the booster and they're fine. So they're fine.

503
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: Now it's gonna take I'm gonna take my chances. Anyway.

504
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: There's there's gonna be a new uh, there's gonna be

505
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: a new variant that comes out probably in a few months,

506
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: and this shot won't be able to handle it anyway.

507
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: And then you got that thing they invented in Boston,

508
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: right that killed killed eighty percent of the mice. A

509
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. I don't know what we were

510
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: talking about. We brought up the baseball great Ted Williams.

511
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: Ted Williams was what was he like? A four hundred

512
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: hitter one? He was the last four hundred hitter but

513
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: there were full season for the full season nineteen forty one.

514
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: He was one of the Boston Red Sox. He was

515
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: one of the greatest hitters. Became a baseball manager too

516
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: in his later years. Yes he wanted he wrote very

517
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: successful but yeah, he wrote probably the best book on

518
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: hitting well. Ted Williams died in two thousand and two.

519
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: Where is he Well, he's not in the ground. He

520
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: wasn't cremated. He's in one of those cryo facilities in

521
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Arizona al Cores Life Extension Foundation. The bodies are inside

522
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: tanks filled with liquid nitrogen. They have the bodies and

523
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: heads of one hundred and ninety nine people. Yeah, some

524
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: people it's just the heads. Well, they want a different

525
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: body when they get I mean science and hundreds of

526
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: years from now might be able to put your head

527
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: on another body. Is that you know? Ogeous? You know what?

528
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: This is such a scam. I gotta give these people credit.

529
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: This is this is one of the great While I

530
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: was reading a doctor saying it's all a lot of hooey.

531
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: You freeze a brain and then you thaw it out.

532
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: All the brain cells just turned into mush. There's no

533
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: brain left at the end of the process. Was this

534
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: Would this be like if you had like a piece

535
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: of meat you bought like two years ago, when it's

536
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: in the freezer and you pulled out, you're like, oh no,

537
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: and your thought out at all. No, exactly, it's just mush.

538
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: It's not edible. I can always tell when I when

539
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: I go to a restaurant if they're using frozen burger meat. Yes,

540
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: I can tell. You're right, right, yeah, because in and

541
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: out doesn't do that right, No, I think it's all

542
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: fresh meat, right, I don't have this right away. A

543
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of diners use frozen frozen meat or correct. Yeah,

544
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: you can tell. Yeah, so you know, and that and

545
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: that's just beef that maybe it was frozen for two days. Hey,

546
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: you imagine you got you got brain cells frozen for

547
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: twenty years and then you start thawing them. You just

548
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: get you get the liquid goo. Well, somewhere in there

549
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: is Ted Williams. Right. I thought his kids were fighting

550
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: over the body for a while as I remember this. Yeah,

551
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: and it's the whole body in there, because I thought

552
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: maybe that I thought that they had just a hatched. Well,

553
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: I think there was a story a few years back

554
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: that something fell off. I know, this is just my

555
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: brain reaching right, is uh what his head fell off?

556
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: Something like that? Yeah, I'd have to look that up

557
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: in the archives. But I do remember some story coming

558
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: out about Ted Williams. Oh, here's something. Um Paris Hilton

559
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: supposedly signed up for cryo preservation. She's getting something else preserved. Oh,

560
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: look at this. There was a book in two thousand

561
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: and nine by a former employee of Alcore claiming that

562
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: Williams's head was abused. They threw it around like a baseball.

563
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: That he watched an Alcore official, The guy's name is

564
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: Larry Johnson watched an Alcore official swing a monkey wrench

565
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: at williams frozen severed head to try to remove a

566
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: tuna can stuck to it. The first thing swing accidentally

567
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: struck the head, and the second one knocked the tuna

568
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: can loose. Oh no, this is an insider story. It

569
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: sounds like they were doing they were google fin on

570
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: the head. Alcor used the cans from a cat that

571
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: lived on the premises as pedestals for the head. Oh

572
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: so they put his head on the tunican? Yeah, but

573
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: is it still frozen or did they take it out

574
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: of the William James's head was being transferred from one

575
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: container to another when the monkey wrench incident took place. Okay,

576
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: so the tunican got stuck on the head, right, because

577
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: that happens with frozen Yes, and so, oh Jesus, he

578
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: was being transferred from one head to another when you know,

579
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: because the guy the guy swung right and hit the

580
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: head instead of the tunican. These are probably minimum wage people.

581
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: The disembodied face, set in that awful frozen scream, looked

582
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: nothing like any picture of Ted Williams I've ever seen.

583
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: He grabbed among key ranch, heaved a mighty swing, missed

584
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: the tunic can completely, but hit the head dead center,

585
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: Tiny pieces of frozen heads sprayed around the room. The

586
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: next swing, the candle was not loose, so it was

587
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: a significant crack in Williams's head. Oh all right, we

588
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: gotta take a break. Oh God, your final chance at

589
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: some money with the keyword the inflation bonus is back
