The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope · Wake Up Call with Amy King

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM640 Wake Up Call with me,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: KFI and KOST HD2, Los Angeles, Orange County.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Good morning. It's 5 o'clock straight up. This is your
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: wake-up call for Friday, August 28th. I'm Amy King. We're
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Thanks so much for
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: getting your day started. It is Friday.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Woo-hoo!
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: This week seemed long. You know how some weeks just
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: fly by? This one seemed a little longer. Not sure why.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Probably because I'm really looking forward to doing a whole
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: lot of absolutely nothing this weekend. Like last weekend was
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a really busy weekend. Couch potato. Hey, did you see
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the eclipse last night? I was sleeping, but I had
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: those weird vampire hours. I have seen them before. They
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: are spectacular. And I'm sure if I really want to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: go see it, I can find it on the internet.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Just Google it, right? Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Southern California's heat wave continues to bake the region for
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: at least one more day. Some relief from the heat's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: expected this weekend. Extreme heat warnings remain in effect through
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: tonight at 8 across much of L.A. and Orange County
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and also the Inland Empire. 90 Americans are among the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: roughly 1,300 people missing after deadly flash flooding in Nepal.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: A State Department official confirmed three U.S. citizens were safely rescued.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: There are no reports of any American deaths so far.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The Nepal Tourism Board says over 500 tourists from 32
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: different countries are among the missing from the catastrophic flash
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: flooding on Wednesday. UCLA is going to be the first
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: university to offer a degree in AI. UCLA has set
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: up an independent digital humanities department. It says the new
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: department will combine the humanities with technology, data science and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: other disciplines, examining both the impact of digital technology on
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: society and the use of digital tools to study human culture,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: history and experience. We're about to get all spaced out
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: with ABC's Jim Ryan, the world's next eye in the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: sky poised for liftoff this weekend from Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Jim's going to tell us all about that. That's coming
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up in just a couple of minutes. Wouldn't it be
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: great to just throw in a load in the washer,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: walk away, and then come back and they're ready to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: put away? That's possible now. Dean Sharp's going to tell
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: us more about all-in-one washers and dryers. What a great idea.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: That's coming up at 520. Dolly Parton and Tim Curry
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: may be gone, but they're not forgotten, that's for sure.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: ABC's Will Gans has a couple great ideas for how
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you can remember them this weekend. Let's get started with
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: While the triple-digit heat continues, it will be cooling down
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Weather experts say this heat wave is not
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that unusual. Climate scientist Julie Kalansky at UC San Diego's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Scripps Institute of Oceanography tells KFI the high heat's being
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: caused by a couple of things.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: The combination of this really high-pressure system and also the
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: moisture from the breaking down of the tropical storm.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: She says compared to heat waves in the past couple
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of years, this one is not that much hotter.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: L.A.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: City cleanup crews are expected to have an abandoned property
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in Studio City back to normal by this afternoon. Neighbors
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: say homeless people have been living there for the last
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: five years, which is why it's in such bad shape.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Mayor Bass says it didn't have to be that way.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I definitely rely on my communication with the council offices
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: and with their representatives in the city to.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Alert us when they have problems like this.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: There was a fire on the property Wednesday, which neighbors
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: saw as a final straw. City Council Member Nithya Raman,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: who's running for mayor against L.A. 's Mayor Bass, has
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: responded to Studio City residents' frustration over that abandoned property
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and to any blame from Mayor Bass.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: It is absolutely inexcusable that residents on Babcock Avenue have
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: been living next to this abandoned, unsecured property for as
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: long as they have.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Raman says her office has begged for the site to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: be cleaned up for years.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: For the mayor to now suggest that this is simply
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: a matter of the council office calling the departments.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: Ignores the reality.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: We have called, we have emailed, we have escalated, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: we brought this directly to her office months ago.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Filled with homeless squatters and trash, the property had a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: fire Wednesday.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: This property should have been secured and abated long before
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: a fire made the danger impossible to ignore.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Mark Rahner, KFI News.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Waymo has deployed new driverless systems. Electric vans to the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: streets of L.A.? The.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: Ojai vans join a fleet of hundreds of Waymo self-driving
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: cars already operating in the region. Vans come with several
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: features like upgraded passenger amenities, expanded interior space, and voice
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: assistance powered by Google Gemini. The addition of more vehicles
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: comes at a time when Waymo isn't so popular in
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: some neighborhoods. Santa Monica, Westchester, and Ladera Heights residents have
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: complained about traffic congestion, vehicles stalling in front of their homes,
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: and charging depot noise. Debra Mark, KFI News.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's 5.07 on your wake-up call. Let's get all spaced
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: out with ABC's Jim Ryan. Morning, Jim.
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, arms length apart, please.
• 5:52
  Speaker 10: Space out.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, last week we were talking about how NASA was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: giving up on rescuing that Swift Observatory. It was an
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: ultimate fail in spite of spending $ 30 million to try
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to keep it from crashing back into Earth's orbit.
• 6:07
  Speaker 9: They did their best with it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: They did their best on that. But never fear. NASA
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: has something bigger and better in the works, and it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: going up this weekend.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: It does.
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Potentially. The weather cooperates.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: And Florida's Florida Space Coast is infamous for changeable weather.
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: But yeah, the goal is on Sunday morning to launch
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which has been in
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: development stage for a long time. They developed it. They
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: built it. They've loaded it up and now they're ready
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: to send it out into space. Unlike the Swift Observatory,
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: whose decaying orbit will have it coming down into Earth's
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: atmosphere and burning up in the next few months, potentially,
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: this one will orbit at a point a million miles
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: away from the Earth, between the Earth and the Sun.
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: There's a specific point that scientists have found out there,
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: that this thing can continue in an elliptical orbit forever, essentially.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: It'll send back images of deep space. It'll send out
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: images of... of the solar system and beyond. So exciting
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: stuff and super clear images too.
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to be in an orbit a million miles out.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: How does it, so the Earth's gravitational pull goes that far?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: It does. Wow.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: And it's caught, it's sort of in this, the netherworld
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: between the Earth's orbit and the Earth's gravity. And the
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: gravity of the sun. So the two are pulling on
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: each other. And right in the middle of all of
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: this will be the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope spinning
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: around out there going in an ellipse. So, yeah, it's
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: very cool. I don't know how they figured it out,
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: but they did.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: The people who deal with space are absolutely amazing to me.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So this telescope, when I first heard the Nancy Grace
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Roman Space Telescope, of course, I thought about that woman
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: who's Nancy Grace, who does the crime stuff. You know
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, right? You've seen her on TV. Okay,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: so who's Nancy Grace Roman?
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: She was the first chief of astronomy at NASA, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: she was key in developing the Hubble Space Telescope, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: she died in 2018. So they're naming it for Nancy
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: Grace Roman. And this telescope, by the way, it's not
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: a replacement for, but it's kind of an adjunct to
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: the Hubble Space Telescope. It has kind of the same mission.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: Its big lens is the same size. It's seven feet
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: across as the Hubble telescope. But it has a much,
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: in fact, a hundred times the field of view. So
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: it's going to capture a much wider swath of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: universe when it takes its images and then downloads them
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: to humanity. By the way, the images will be available
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: to everybody. You don't have to be a scientist or
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: you don't have to sign a subscription or something. You'll
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: be able to look at all of the stuff. 1.4
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: terabytes of data every single day.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 8:49
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So once it launches, do we know how long before
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it launches? Turns on the satellite?
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it takes about a month for it to get
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: out to that spot a little over 900,000 miles away.
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: And once that happens, once it parks itself out there
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: or starts this big ellipse, then it'll start sending back images.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: All right. That's so cool. We're going to have to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: talk again once it starts cranking out some pictures because
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I bet they're just going to be mind-blowing.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: This guy, listen to this guy.
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: His name, believe it or not, has been, well, I've
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: got a minute here, Bear Witherspoon. He works at NASA.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: I interviewed him yesterday, and he's super hyped about this.
• 9:25
  Speaker 12: We're going to be imaging billions of objects, galaxies, stars,
• 9:30
  Speaker 12: all kinds of things. That means we're going to be
• 9:33
  Speaker 12: finding thousands of one in a million things.
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: It's going to be cool.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: That is so cool.
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you so much for the update.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: We'll be watching for Liftoff.
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories. That's so
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: freaking cool. Coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom, the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: death toll from this week's catastrophic flooding has grown to 538.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of people are still missing. Officials say more than
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: 30 3,700 people have been rescued. Most were taken to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: safety by helicopter. Some were found caked in dark brown mud.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: ABC's Brit Clennett in Kathmandu says recovery efforts are being
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: complicated by mountains of mud and debris.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Communication lines are down, roads are blocked, and the search for,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: as I say, dozens of Americans, but also hundreds of
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: other foreigners, trekkers, is underway.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Police in Nepal issued a fresh alert today after receiving
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: information that a dam on the Tibet side had burst.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Not clear if that's related to flooding concerns from a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: barrier lake on the Chinese side of the Himalayan mountains
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that formed after the initial flash floods on Wednesday. Jury
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: deliberations are set to resume this morning in the trial
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of Lindsay Clancy, who's charged with killing her three children
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in 2023. ABC's Deborah Roberts says while both sides agree
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that she killed her kids, Clancy's attorneys have argued she
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: had postpartum psychosis. Clancy's lawyer arguing she's not criminally responsible.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors acknowledging Clancy's mental illness, but arguing that she wanted
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out of her life. The jury has to decide if
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Clancy must pay for her crime with a prison sentence
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: or a lifetime of mental health treatment. The federal judge
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: who blocked President Trump's executive order allowing postal service restrictions
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: on mail-in voting has done it again, putting a new
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: 14-day hold on the plan. She issued the ruling yesterday
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: following new lawsuits filed just days before ballots are slated
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to go out before the midterms.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Judge Indira Talwani says the rule is likely unconstitutional and
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: would be practically impossible for states to follow before the
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: midterm elections.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: ABC's Dave Packer says the case could go back to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, which sided with President Trump this week.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The president is not expected to attend ceremonies in Manhattan,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: marking the 25th anniversary of 9-11.
• 11:57
  Speaker 13: The New York Times getting that from four sources Thursday night.
• 12:01
  Speaker 13: They say Trump will speak instead at an event at
• 12:03
  Speaker 13: the Pentagon. The 9-11 memorial, which oversees events at Ground Zero,
• 12:08
  Speaker 13: has banned speeches since 2012. The paper reports Trump will
• 12:12
  Speaker 13: leave for his golf course in Ireland the next day,
• 12:14
  Speaker 13: and flight logistics also played a part in the decision.
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama
• 12:21
  Speaker 13: are expected to be in Manhattan on 9-11. In New York,
• 12:25
  Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Whitman.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: President Trump has signed an executive order to rename one
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of the Great Lakes. The order signed yesterday in the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Oval Office updates Lake Ontario, which straddles the U.S.-Canada border
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: as Lake America. Trump says Canada has treated the U.S. unfairly.
• 12:42
  Speaker 9: People oftentimes, they'll ask me, who's the worst to deal
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: with on trade?
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: And I said, that's easy, Canada.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Trump has been floating the idea of the name change
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: since the latest trade war started with Canada. The administration
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: has imposed 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But it can't force Canada to go along with the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: name change for the lake. Your official home for Dodger
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: baseball is AM570 LA Sports this afternoon. Your back-to-back world
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: champion Dodgers are going to try to get back on
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the winning track. They got swept by Atlanta. They're taking
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: on the Tigers in Detroit. First pitch goes out at
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: 3.40 this afternoon. Listen on AM570 LA Sports and stream
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app live from the Galpin Ford broadcast booth.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: LA Mayor Bass has told the LAPD to stop issuing
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: criminal citations to street vendors under the city's anti-camping law.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: The mayor's directive comes a day after it was reported
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that police officers had fined local sellers at MacArthur Park.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: In a statement, the mayor's office said... Bass firmly stands
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: with street vendors. Police have shot a dog that allegedly
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: bit an officer in the Green Meadows neighborhood of L.A.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: The LAPD says officers responded to reports of a domestic incident.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: When they got there yesterday, a dog attacked and bit
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: one of them. The dog was subsequently shot by one
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of the officers. Its condition isn't known. Here's a nice
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: perk for some people who probably wouldn't be able to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: see the L.A. Phil otherwise.
• 14:11
  Speaker 12: L.A.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: County residents with current Medi-Cal or EBT cards will be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: able to buy $ 10 tickets to L.A. Philharmonic performances at
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the Hollywood Bowl beginning with the 2027 season. At least
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: 100 tickets for each performance for eligible residents on a first-come,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: first-served basis will be available. That's very cool. At 6.05,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it is handle on the news. Apparently, Iran wants mediators
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to focus on getting the Strait of Hormuz back open again.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Bill's going to have something to say about that. Let's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: say good morning now to the host of Home on
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: KFI every Saturday and Sunday. It's our house whisperer, Dean Sharp,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: fresh off a trip to my home state of Oregon.
• 14:54
  Speaker 14: Yeah, we had a blast.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You sent pictures. If you guys have, I was like,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you made Southern Oregon a destination for
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a trip. But then you sent the pictures and I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: forget how many really beautiful, cool things there are to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: do in Southern Oregon.
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 15:09
  Speaker 14: They really are. And it's not like it was out
• 15:10
  Speaker 14: of the blue because I used to spend my summers
• 15:12
  Speaker 14: up there with my aunt and uncle on their little
• 15:15
  Speaker 14: horse ranch. And so it's kind of a, you know,
• 15:18
  Speaker 14: going home to me in some in one in in
• 15:21
  Speaker 14: one weird way. I never lived in southern Oregon permanently,
• 15:25
  Speaker 14: but spent a lot of time up there. And I
• 15:28
  Speaker 14: just love it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: I love it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for sharing the pictures. He sent pictures
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of whitewater rafting, which is So cool. And Crater Lake
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: is one of the most beautiful places. Like if you
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: think Lake Tahoe is beautiful and it is Crater Lake
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: is like that, but more, I think.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: It did.
• 15:43
  Speaker 14: You know, it just it never fails to stun people
• 15:46
  Speaker 14: when they see that cobalt blue water. They're just, you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 14: and I show pictures to people and they're like, yeah,
• 15:52
  Speaker 14: did you enhance this photo?
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I'm like, no, no.
• 15:55
  Speaker 14: The water is that blue. It's that it's the deepest
• 15:58
  Speaker 14: lake in North America.
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: It's a collapsed volcano.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 14: And the only water that it gets is the water
• 16:05
  Speaker 14: from the snow on its rim and the and the
• 16:08
  Speaker 14: rain that falls in it. So the water is pure
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: and clear and deep and amazing.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Amazing. OK, let's get to down to business because we
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: got to talk about, well, water is involved in this process.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: The all in one washer and dryer sounds like such
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a cool idea. But up until recently, it's been kind
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of a I don't know, an industrial joke.
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: Uh, it really has been, honestly, I mean, they've been around, uh,
• 16:33
  Speaker 14: they're very popular in Europe, probably by necessity. They have
• 16:37
  Speaker 14: been for decades because of space, but anybody who has
• 16:41
  Speaker 14: ever tried, uh, yeah, because of space, uh, you know, issues,
• 16:45
  Speaker 14: but anybody who's ever tried one, uh, has come away
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: with the exact same impression. They suck. They just have sucked. Uh,
• 16:53
  Speaker 14: and so, uh, uh, but, but something very, very unique
• 16:56
  Speaker 14: happened about three years ago. Uh, GE reinvented the all-in-one
• 17:03
  Speaker 14: combo unit with a completely different technological approach to it,
• 17:08
  Speaker 14: and suddenly it became viable. Now, I reported on this
• 17:13
  Speaker 14: back then when it first came out, and I said,
• 17:15
  Speaker 14: you know what? If this is as legit as I
• 17:18
  Speaker 14: think it is, we're going to see other manufacturers start
• 17:22
  Speaker 14: to adopt their own versions. And we're going to see
• 17:25
  Speaker 14: it slowly but surely creep into the market. Well, now,
• 17:28
  Speaker 14: you know, we're a good three years down the road here.
• 17:30
  Speaker 14: And now LG and Samsung, major appliance manufacturers, have their
• 17:35
  Speaker 14: own versions. And the market right now for the combo
• 17:40
  Speaker 14: wash or dry, I want everybody to understand what I'm
• 17:42
  Speaker 14: saying when I say this. the request for them is
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: outpacing right now the growth of the regular washer-dryer market.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: So tell me why they sucked so bad and what
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: they did to make them better.
• 18:00
  Speaker 14: Yeah, well, the reason they sucked is because they, you know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 14: it was never the washing machine. It was always the dryer, right?
• 18:06
  Speaker 14: I mean, washing machines wash clothes. One of these combo
• 18:10
  Speaker 14: units uses one barrel, one bin... You put the clothes
• 18:14
  Speaker 14: in and you're supposed to come back later and they're
• 18:16
  Speaker 14: all done. They're washed and they're dried. But the dryers
• 18:19
  Speaker 14: were typical. Most of them were electric based and they
• 18:23
  Speaker 14: were typical approach to drying, which is trying to bake
• 18:27
  Speaker 14: your clothes. And there just wasn't enough airflow and there
• 18:33
  Speaker 14: wasn't enough heat because most of them aren't gas dryers. OK,
• 18:36
  Speaker 14: that's just not what works with a combo unit. And
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: they just went on forever, hours and hours and hours
• 18:44
  Speaker 14: and never getting the clothes completely clean because they use
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: that concept that honestly all of our gas dryers use,
• 18:50
  Speaker 14: which is baking your clothes at high heat. Well, GE
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: decided they took a lesson from grandma and who would
• 18:57
  Speaker 14: tell you that, hey, listen, it doesn't matter how hot
• 19:00
  Speaker 14: the day is. Like right now in this weather we've
• 19:03
  Speaker 14: had with this high humidity in the 90s, if you
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: put clothes out on a clothesline out in the backyard,
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: they're not going to dry very fast. It doesn't matter
• 19:12
  Speaker 14: how hot the temperature is. It's the fact that there's
• 19:15
  Speaker 14: no wind blowing and it's moist outside. But take a
• 19:19
  Speaker 14: 70 degree day. with a lot of nice gentle breezes
• 19:24
  Speaker 14: blowing and the clothes will dry on that line fast.
• 19:28
  Speaker 14: And that's what GE decided. Listen, we need a fan
• 19:31
  Speaker 14: and a lot of airflow. We don't need a lot
• 19:33
  Speaker 14: of heat. And lo and behold, it really solves the problem.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Cool.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: So, and even though these are better and they work
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and all of that, it's not for everyone.
• 19:43
  Speaker 14: It's not going to be for everybody because, you know,
• 19:45
  Speaker 14: a lot of people still love the idea like, hey,
• 19:47
  Speaker 14: I need a 15 minute quick wash and then throw
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: it into a powerful dryer because I, you know, we
• 19:52
  Speaker 14: realize I need this piece of clothing clean and I
• 19:55
  Speaker 14: need to clean and dry in a half an hour.
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: That is going to be the exception to all of
• 20:00
  Speaker 14: these rules. But probably 99 times out of 100, that's
• 20:05
  Speaker 14: not the exception. The reality is we all know what
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: it's like to start a load of clothes, forget about it,
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: come back a couple hours later. Oh, yeah, I got
• 20:14
  Speaker 14: to flip the clothes from the washing machine into the dryer.
• 20:17
  Speaker 14: And by the time it's done, maybe on average, about
• 20:20
  Speaker 14: four to six hours has gone by before For that
• 20:23
  Speaker 14: one load, unless you're just literally sitting there monitoring it
• 20:27
  Speaker 14: right on top of it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: That's what I do. I sit and monitor it.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, do you really?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: As soon as that sucker goes off, I've got those
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: in the dryer.
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: Well, see, then this would not be for you because
• 20:36
  Speaker 14: you'd be able to do it that much faster.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: No, but I like the idea.
• 20:39
  Speaker 14: Yeah, what you're really buying here is the fact that
• 20:41
  Speaker 14: you don't have to pay attention to it. And in
• 20:43
  Speaker 14: a couple of hours, they're done.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And then one last quick question. Are they way more
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: expensive than buying regular or are they comparable?
• 20:52
  Speaker 14: No, actually the price now has reached this point where
• 20:55
  Speaker 14: the combo unit is less expensive than the two, you know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 14: of the nicer high capacity washer and dryer units. So
• 21:03
  Speaker 14: they're right in everybody's budget point. Now it's just a
• 21:07
  Speaker 14: matter of deciding whether it's for you.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Okay. The host of Home right here on KFI, it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Dean Sharp. You can hear him every Weekend, Saturdays from
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: 6 to 8, Sunday 9 to noon. You can follow
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: him at his new address, which is what?
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: HouseWhispererDesign.com.
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And follow him at HouseWhispererDesign. Thank you, Dean.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Amy.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Local leaders say Hollywood needs certainty, not politics.
• 21:38
  Speaker 15: LA County Supervisor Catherine Barger is calling on Paramount and
• 21:41
  Speaker 15: California Attorney General Rob Bonta to stop being political and
• 21:45
  Speaker 15: restart settlement talks.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: I believe it is political.
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: I think it's more about the person that's purchasing it
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: versus the impact it's going to have on the industry.
• 21:53
  Speaker 15: Barger says Bonta needs to do whatever it takes to
• 21:55
  Speaker 15: keep film and TV productions from leaving.
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: If Paramount is making commitments, to protect films being made
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: at Warner Brothers and at Paramount. Why are we not
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: locking them into that to protect what jobs we have left?
• 22:10
  Speaker 15: Heather Rooker, KFI News.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: A bill in California to require independent investigations into shootings
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: by federal immigration agents. has been sent to Governor Newsom
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: for his signature.
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: Assembly Bill 1806 was introduced after an increase in people
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: being hurt or killed by ICE agents. The New York
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: Times reports that ICE agents have shot at least 23
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: people since early 2025. The Assembly approved that bill with
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: a 42 to 13 vote, mostly along party lines. It
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: follows two recent shootings in California involving ICE agents. Most recently,
• 22:41
  Speaker 11: a man was killed last year by an off-duty agent.
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: Another man was shot in the face seven times by
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: an ICE agent in April. Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: California lawmakers are scrambling to find $ 10 million to continue
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: gender transitions for children on Medi-Cal. The Trump administration's finalized
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: a rule that ends federal Medicaid funding for gender care
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: for minors. It goes into effect October 13th. About 1,500
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: children will not be getting gender transition treatments after that date,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: including those receiving puberty blockers and hormones. Lawmakers are looking
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: for $ 10 million in emergency state funding to keep those
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: treatments going, while California creates a separate state-funded program. But
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: parents and advocacy groups say the Newsom administration had months
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to prepare for this change, and they're worried that the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: state's not going to have a new system ready before
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the deadline in October. The state says creating that separate
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: funding system could take up to a year. And a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: new report says women have made some modest gains among producers, directors, writers,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and editors who are nominated for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: but they are still substantially outnumbered by men in key
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: behind-the-scenes TV roles. The Women's Media Center finds that among
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: 2,635 nominees in 102 non-acting categories for the 78th Primetime Emmys, 35%
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: are women, 65% are men, three are non-binary. Sentencing has
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: been scheduled for December 3rd for a 60-year-old woman from Anaheim.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: She pleaded guilty to a federal health care fraud charge
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: for submitting more than $ 2. 2 million in fraudulent Medicare claims.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: The claims were for hospice care provided to patients who
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: weren't actually terminally ill. Lynn Galbraith faces up to 10
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: years in federal prison. The LAPD is trying to find
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a missing 13-year-old girl who was last seen in Watts.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Scarlett Acuna says, was at the Jordan Downs Housing Complex
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. She's Hispanic, five feet tall, about 100 pounds
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: with black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: black hoodie, shorts, and brown shoes. An exhibition featuring handmade sets, props,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and artwork from Olivia Rodrigo's The Cure music video opens
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: next week at the Grammy Museum in downtown L.A., It'll
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: offer behind-the-scenes look at the making of the music video
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: from Rodrigo's latest album, as well as some handwritten and
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: hand-stitched artwork used for the album's art and packaging. Have
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you been to the Grammy Museum? It's actually kind of cool,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: especially if you're a big music fan. But we went
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: there for an out-and-about segment, and it was very cool.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Very cool.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you may not have known his name, but
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you definitely knew his voice.
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Pooh Bear.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Not that one.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: If it is a good morning, which I doubt.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Did I get your tail back on properly, Eeyore?
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: No matter.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Most likely lose it again anyway.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: I may have just the thing.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: It's an awful nice tale, Kanka.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: Much nicer than the rest of me.
• 25:43
  Speaker 14: It's not much of a tale, but I'm sort of
• 25:46
  Speaker 14: attached to it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: That's Canadian voice actor Peter Cullen. He died this week
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: at his home in L.A. He was 84, and he was,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of course, beloved by Winnie the Pooh fans because he
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: was the voice of Eeyore.
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: Eeyore.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Eeyore's, oh, one of my very favorites. But here's something
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: that I didn't know. I'm wondering if you knew this.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Peter Cullen, Eeyore... was also the voice of.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: It's been an honor serving with you all.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Optimus Prime from the Transformers. I didn't know that until
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: we got the word that he had passed away, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, really? Because the voice is, listen.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: It's been an honor serving with you all.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, now listen to the beginning of this. If it
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: is a good morning, we tried to help. Isn't that crazy?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I just thought that was so amazing, but Wow, what
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: an incredibly talented voice artist.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Voice actors like that, they're just amazing. Absolutely.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Here's what's coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. You're
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: soon going to be able to plug in your solar power.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: California lawmakers have passed a bill to let residents install
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: simple solar panels that plug into regular outlets. The bill
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: got strong bipartisan support, even though utilities are against it.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: California has some of the highest electricity rates in the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: country and costs just keep going up. If signed by
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom, California would join other states that allow these
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: plug-in balcony solar systems, which are already popular in some places,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: like in Germany. Palm Springs has joined the growing resistance
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: against data centers. They've passed a moratorium.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: The Palm Springs City Council passed an urgency ordinance for
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: a data center moratorium. The council asked for a two-year moratorium,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: but a 45-day open period comes first. Council member Grace
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Garner proposed the moratorium.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: I think it's really important that we're looking at this clearly.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: This is a lot of new technology very quickly. There's
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: been a lot of detriment to cities across the country,
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: and I think that we need to make sure that
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: those same things don't happen to us.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Garner says it's an opportunity to research and learn about
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: data centers and determine if that will lead to a ban.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Mark Garner, KFI News.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: The homeless problem in Glendale is... Way smaller than in L.A., obviously,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: but it is still a problem. Glendale's homeless count for
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: 2026 shows that there are 12 percent more homeless people
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in the city this year. But the number of people
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: who are unsheltered has dropped by more than half. The
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: January 20th count identified 220 homeless people in Glendale, 96 sheltered,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: 124 unsheltered. It's just a fraction. I mean, like in L.A.,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: it's like 70,000 or something. Time to get in your
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: business with Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman. Dan, NVIDIA had not only
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: a good day, but an historic day.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: That's correct, Amy. They added a whopping $ 442 billion to
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: its market value and the second largest one-day gain by
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: any stock in history. This after the company's shares jumped 8.7%,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: which reassured investors that growth related to AI remained strong.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: NVIDIA said revenue will expand about 70% next fiscal year.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: That's well above expectations for growth of around 45%. As
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: we know, Amy, NVIDIA is the largest company in the world.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Their valuation is now $ 5. 5 trillion, with a T, dollars.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I bet Elon Musk is jealous. What caused him to
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: jump by that much?
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Revenue was robust.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: And people are kind of wondering, is the spending on
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: AI going to continue? And their results show that it will.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: And that, like, reassured people, like, okay, this is still
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a safe bet. Let's do it. And NVIDIA has gone from, what,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: 10 years ago, who knew NVIDIA, right, to now literally
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: $ 5. 5 trillion.
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: And AI company has scored a big win in court.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Anthropic has won a court challenge against the government, which
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: had labeled the clogged chatbot maker a supply chain risk.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: A federal judge says the Trump administration must lift its
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: ban on Anthropic's artificial intelligence technology for federal agencies. The
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: judge in San Francisco sided with Anthropic in its challenge
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: to the Department of Defense's finding that the ban is
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: not adequately justified. Some believe it was political, of course,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: but you know.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: It's always political, right? There is a beauty chain and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: it's looking good.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: That's correct. I don't know if you shop there. Ulta
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Beauty says both profit and sales. You like Ulta?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my wife likes it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I dread going through the doors with her, but I
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: do because I'm a good husband. Actually, all beauty shops,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: but profit and sales increased more than expected. in the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: just-finished quarter, and it's raising its full-year sales forecast. Ulta's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: pushing store expansions and leaning more heavily into exclusive products
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: to separate itself from other beauty destinations. While cosmetic sales
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: have generally weakened, the company is increasing its reliance on
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: other product categories, including, of course, hair care and fragrances.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Very important.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, and you can smell those fragrances as
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: soon as you walk through the door, can't you, Dan?
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: Beautiful.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Love them. All right.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Getting in your business as we do each weekday morning.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman. Have a great weekend.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: You as well.
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: When we come back, the Roadrunner's Nemesis hits movie theaters
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: this weekend. ABC's Will Gans joins us to tell us.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: If this iteration of Wile E. Coyote is genius. I
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: like the sound of that. Wile E.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Coyote.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Genius. Do you remember that from the cartoons? Probably not.
• 31:16
  Speaker 14: Nope.
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: Sorry.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I thought it was such a classic line that all
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: of you would remember. Okay. Today's the last day of
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the heat wave that has lingered in Southern California for
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the last few days. Temperatures are going to start to
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: cool down for the weekend today. But we'll still top
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the century mark for inland areas through tomorrow. We also
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: have a slight chance of thunderstorms. The markets are going
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to be watching as Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivers the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: keynote speech at the Central Bank's Symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Warsh's predecessors have used the event to talk about broad
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: policy initiatives and layout conditions under which the Fed would
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: adjust interest rates. Warsh so far signaled a more hands-off
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: approach and has placed a greater emphasis on market direction
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: when it comes to policy. General Mills removing artificial colors
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: from all of its cereals. Popular brands like Lucky Charms
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and Trix have been made and are available without synthetic
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: color additives. Health and Human Services Director or Secretary Robert F.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Kennedy Jr. has pushed for the removal of artificial dyes
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: in colors as part of his Make America Healthy Again initiative.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to go buy some Lucky Charms
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and see what the colors look like if they were
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: able to replicate them.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: It's hard to imagine.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're just going to be gray now. Let's say
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: good morning to ABC's multi-platform reporter, Will Gans. Will, we
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: lost a couple of big names in the entertainment industry
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: this week, but we can still remember and celebrate them.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: That's right. So when it comes to Dolly Parton, there
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: is no shortage of projects and documentaries and docu-series and
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: all of the things that you could watch podcasts to
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: listen to that are all about Dolly. But if you
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: can only watch one thing, Dolly Parton's Here I Am
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: is a documentary that is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: You can rent it for $ 3.
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: 99.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: And it is my favorite. I think it does the
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: best job of sort of. Talking about the art that
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: she made, why the music was so important, both the
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: time that it came out and the timelessness of it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: And then you get a good sense of the person
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: that she was. This features interviews and guests from Dolly,
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: also from Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and the artists
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: and musicians that she worked with way back in the 60s.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: So it really gives you a nice full picture. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: some of those like personal stories from Jane Fonda, you know,
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: in this doc, she talks about spending a weekend with
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Dolly and her husband, Carl Dean, at their home in Nashville.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: And she says, even though she was there, you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: around the clock, she never saw Dolly without her hair
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: and her makeup on and all of these things. And,
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: you know, it's just, it's fascinating to get those sort of,
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: you know, firsthand accounts of the type of person that
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: Dolly was and, So, yeah, I think if there's only
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: one thing you can watch that documentary called Dolly Parton.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: Here I am.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: OK, it's on Amazon Prime. You do need to rent it,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: but it's only like probably three or four.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Dollars, right?
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: Exactly.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, we also lost Tim Curry. We don't
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: have a serious documentary about the life and times of
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Tim Curry, but there is another way and another fun
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: thing you can watch with him in it.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: That's right. You know, I think that, of course, Rocky
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Horror Picture Show comes to mind. Home Alone 2, you know,
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: was one of the highest grossing live action comedies ever.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: So I think everybody has seen those things. But this
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: week I watched Muppet Treasure Island, in which Tim Curry
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: is one of the very few human actors surrounded by
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: a sea of Muppets wearing diamonds. pirate regalia, and it
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: works so beautifully because of the type of performer he was.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: You know, he basically becomes one of the Muppets himself,
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: which is just like, lends itself to the type of
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: performer he is. You know, nothing was beneath him. He
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: is outlandish in all of the right ways and plays
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: a villain in such a great way. And, you know,
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Muppet Treasure Island, I think, you know, for anyone who
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: has kids around, of course, that's an excellent pick because
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: It's family-friendly, and it is streaming on Disney +.
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: Okay, cool.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: And then hopefully also family-friendly and a way to get
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: out of the heat, you might want to head to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the theater. Wile E. Coyote is hitting the big screen.
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: That's right. So this is Coyote vs.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Acne.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: And the interesting thing about this movie is that Warner
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Brothers scrapped it, and it was going to be a
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: tax write-off for them. The movie was completely done, and
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: they were like, eh, let's just put it on the shelf. Thankfully,
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: over the last couple of years, another production company was
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: able to get the rights to it, are releasing it
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: this weekend on the big screen, 95% on Rotten Tomatoes,
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: and the concept of the film, so it's human actors
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: and Looney Tunes actors, sort of like what Space Jam
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: was back in the 90s. Uh-huh. And the idea here
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: is that Wile E. Coyote has had it with all
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: of these acne products that keep on failing him in
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: his attempts to catch the roadrunner. They're blowing up. The
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: bombs are blowing up too early. The springs are backfiring.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: All of the things that we love from Looney Tunes.
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: So he's taking them to court. He's suing the company.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: And that's what this movie's about. John Cena's in it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Will Forte from SNL is in it. And it's a
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: great time. You know, 80 minutes in the movie theater.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: And the movie is actually amazing. Really, really well done.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: So that's Coyote vs. Axie.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I might have to change my weekend plans and actually
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: leave the house this weekend. That sounds really kind of fun.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: It's great. It's great. And, you know, honestly, John Cena
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: sort of crushes it in this movie, too, proving that,
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: you know, he's a man of many talents himself.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Okay. ABC's multi-platform reporter, Will Ganz, thank you so much.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: You too, Amy.
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: Bye-bye.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, so... The talkback just sort of exploded on why
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you're not remembering my Wile E. Coyote reference, Will.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 37:11
  Speaker 12: Hey, Amy, the reason they don't remember that term is
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: not Wile E.
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: Coyote genius.
• 37:16
  Speaker 12: It was Wile E.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Coyote super genius.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: You still don't remember it.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: I'm getting all of your references today.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: I say, Amy K.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: King, genius.
• 37:37
  Speaker 10: Amy K.
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: King, genius.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: I must have missed something in my childhood because I
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: watched those things. I have no idea what any of
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: y'all are talking about. Yeah, it's just one of them.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think he did it all the time, but
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I just remember that specific one. I obviously remembered it wrong.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Talk Back. Thank you, Wake Up Call listeners
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: for fixing that for me. Appreciate it. You know what?
• 37:59
