Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
- 0:05Speaker 1: six forty Bill Handle.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Here.
- 0:07Speaker 1: It is a Wednesday morning, February eleventh.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Coming up at seven point thirty the bottom of the hour,
- 0:14Speaker 3: a medical news with doctor Jim Keeney, and he is
- 0:16Speaker 3: in Milan at the Winter Olympics. So we're going to
- 0:20Speaker 3: talk to him and some of the stories we're covering. Oh,
- 0:23Speaker 3: the Olympic medals appear to be breaking. They're not doing
- 0:31Speaker 3: so well, and so there's a ruckus about that. And
- 0:34Speaker 3: if you notice now, the presenters of the of those
- 0:37Speaker 3: medals will all be asked to have a tube of
- 0:41Speaker 3: super glue in their pocket as they present the medals. Okay,
- 0:46Speaker 3: now we talk about what's happening with Nancy Guthrie. It's
- 0:50Speaker 3: a very strange case of a kidnapping, even to the
- 0:53Speaker 3: point where the authorities are not calling it a kidnapping,
- 0:58Speaker 3: they're calling it a taking of Nancy Guthrie. I don't
- 1:03Speaker 3: think the guth Thrie family has called it a kidnapping publicly.
- 1:08Speaker 1: So here's the latest.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Authorities took a person in for questioning, not a person
- 1:14Speaker 3: of interest, just a person that was quote detained, and
- 1:19Speaker 3: it happened during a traffic stop south of Tucson, and
- 1:23Speaker 3: they did say is being questioned in connection to the
- 1:28Speaker 3: Nancy Guthrie investigation. And this was a statement that was
- 1:32Speaker 3: issued by the authorities. And this development came hours after
- 1:37Speaker 3: the FBI released photos and videos of a possible suspect,
- 1:42Speaker 3: although it's almost certain that was the person, and it
- 1:45Speaker 3: was captured on film by Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera, and
- 1:49Speaker 3: that in and of itself is a story because the
- 1:52Speaker 3: camera was taken, and it took the FBI and authorities
- 1:56Speaker 3: and I think Google to go through their video archives
- 2:01Speaker 3: to find that, and it took several days. The person
- 2:06Speaker 3: who was videoed at her door wore a ski mask
- 2:09Speaker 3: and gloves and appeared to be armed. Per FBI Director
- 2:14Speaker 3: Cash Patel. Has not been identified by law enforcement. I
- 2:17Speaker 3: think they know and so the man who was detained
- 2:23Speaker 3: has been released. He's not connected in any way, and
- 2:27Speaker 3: I don't know why there was a connection they thought
- 2:30Speaker 3: there was a connection. Nancy Guthrie has been missing for
- 2:32Speaker 3: eleven days. She's aded for she was taken kidnapped outside
- 2:38Speaker 3: of her home in Tucson early hours of February one.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Savannah Guthrie and her siblings I think have released three
- 2:45Speaker 3: or four videos, of course showing emotional please for mom's return,
- 2:52Speaker 3: offering to pay. There was a demand for six million
- 2:56Speaker 3: dollars in bitcoin, and the grie family said we will pay. However,
- 3:03Speaker 3: there has been no communication from the kidnappers after they
- 3:08Speaker 3: said we will pay, or after the family said. And
- 3:12Speaker 3: that is strange because one kidnaps under these circumstances for
- 3:19Speaker 3: a ransom, and the ransom has is the famili has
- 3:25Speaker 3: agreed to pay the ransom and nothing yet, no press briefings.
- 3:30Speaker 3: The sheriff's office is called the public and usually these
- 3:34Speaker 3: turnout to have the public's health to make this happen.
- 3:38Speaker 3: So please contact five two zero three five one forty
- 3:42Speaker 3: nine hundred, and that's the call. That's the phone number,
- 3:46Speaker 3: five two zero three five one forty nine hundred, or
- 3:49Speaker 3: you can call the FBI directly at eight hundred. Call FBI.
- 3:53Speaker 3: That's an easy one to remember, eight hundred call FBI.
- 3:58Speaker 3: So there's two videos of this person wearing a mask
- 4:02Speaker 3: and gloves, looks like they're holding a flashlight in their mouth,
- 4:06Speaker 3: attempting to cover up the camera with foliage bushes that
- 4:10Speaker 3: are in front of the house. In another clip. He
- 4:13Speaker 3: walks up to the home with his head down, wearing
- 4:17Speaker 3: a dark zip up jacket, light pants, a backpack, looks
- 4:21Speaker 3: like a weapon.
- 4:21Speaker 1: In his holster.
- 4:22Speaker 3: He has a ski mass on that all you can
- 4:25Speaker 3: see are the eyes and the mouth. I mean, he
- 4:28Speaker 3: truly went out of his way to disguise himself. Also,
- 4:33Speaker 3: the gloves appear to be very heavy workers gloves, and
- 4:37Speaker 3: so at this point there really is a whole lot
- 4:40Speaker 3: of information except I was watching CNN and Fox yesterday
- 4:46Speaker 3: and they brought in some security experts and say that
- 4:50Speaker 3: video alone gives us clues. For example, the backpack, they're
- 4:55Speaker 3: trying to figure out what backpack it is, who makes it,
- 4:59Speaker 3: what it looks, and then trace down who has bought
- 5:02Speaker 3: a backpack or who has sold a backpack like this
- 5:06Speaker 3: over the last few months, to try to trace people
- 5:09Speaker 3: down and looking at the gate of the person as
- 5:13Speaker 3: he's walking down the sidewalk or leaving the porch. And
- 5:17Speaker 3: there is no video of her actually being taken. The
- 5:21Speaker 3: only video is this man at the porch to I
- 5:24Speaker 3: think there's three videos, and it doesn't show Nancy Guthrie
- 5:29Speaker 3: being taken and being dragged off. There is blood on
- 5:34Speaker 3: the porch which has been ascertained to be hers, so
- 5:38Speaker 3: there had to be some kind of a fight, and
- 5:42Speaker 3: it's the Gutsbery family is just spinning. And as I
- 5:46Speaker 3: said earlier, this one is strange because there's been no
- 5:51Speaker 3: communication from the abductors after the family agreed to pay.
- 5:58Speaker 3: There were the there were the demands sent to three outlets,
- 6:04Speaker 3: including TMZ and two television stations.
- 6:07Speaker 1: There were two deadlines that were past, that were gone beyond.
- 6:16Speaker 3: And I don't think we've heard the what if yet
- 6:20Speaker 3: if the deadlines are not met?
- 6:22Speaker 1: What if?
- 6:24Speaker 3: This is a very very strange case, and the family
- 6:27Speaker 3: believes she is still alive and they want, obviously the
- 6:32Speaker 3: return of their mom, and the Guthrie family is extremely
- 6:35Speaker 3: close to their mom, and which of course makes it horrific.
- 6:43Speaker 3: You know, Okay, La and Long Beach are ranked. This
- 6:48Speaker 3: is a report that was just issued by the Legislative
- 6:51Speaker 3: Office the State California Legislative Office. Long Beach and La
- 6:56Speaker 3: among the world's least affordable cities for home buyers. And
- 7:01Speaker 3: now it's not just a question of dollars. Limited housing
- 7:06Speaker 3: construction was looked at, strong job markets, regional amenities that's
- 7:12Speaker 3: driven California home prices to historical extremes. I mean, we
- 7:16Speaker 3: have the mountains, we have the oceans, we have the forests,
- 7:20Speaker 3: all within a few hours drive, and we have the technology,
- 7:25Speaker 3: we have skilled, skilled workers, and it's just a better
- 7:29Speaker 3: place to live.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Now.
- 7:31Speaker 3: You can go to Riod, for example, Saudi Arabia, and
- 7:35Speaker 3: there it's easy to purchase a home, but then you
- 7:40Speaker 3: have to really enjoy deep fried sand for dinner. It's
- 7:44Speaker 3: just not the place. Not You can't do skiing very
- 7:48Speaker 3: much except in one place incidentally, in Dubai, an indoor
- 7:52Speaker 3: mall has a whole ski center where you can ski
- 7:56Speaker 3: down a mountain they built in an indoor mall. I
- 7:59Speaker 3: mean it's I've been there and it's pretty impressive. So
- 8:03Speaker 3: here's what the report said is that of course people
- 8:08Speaker 3: single people try have to stretch themselves financially like crazy.
- 8:12Speaker 3: They have to find larger down payments, They have to
- 8:14Speaker 3: ask parents for help to make their dream home or reality.
- 8:20Speaker 3: So the actual stat is a single buyer in LA
- 8:24Speaker 3: earning the average salary in LA can only afford twenty
- 8:29Speaker 3: eight percent of a typical homes purchase price. In other words,
- 8:34Speaker 3: a home costs a million dollars, they can only afford
- 8:37Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which means they're not
- 8:40Speaker 3: buying a house, and they took into effect mainly I
- 8:44Speaker 3: think salary. As of December, the average home price in
- 8:48Speaker 3: California with seven hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. Go
- 8:52Speaker 3: into Orange County or LA and the home price is
- 8:55Speaker 3: even higher than that. And now the least expensive place
- 9:01Speaker 3: to live in the United States.
- 9:03Speaker 1: And by the way, the way this is in the world.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Okay, we're talking sing It's more expensive than Singapore, London,
- 9:09Speaker 3: Paris relative to those. If you look at the formula,
- 9:13Speaker 3: what is the least expensive place to live in New York?
- 9:17Speaker 3: The least expensive city? What would you guess, Neil, the
- 9:22Speaker 3: least the least expensive, the most affordable place you can
- 9:25Speaker 3: buy a home in the United States, where you can
- 9:29Speaker 3: live the easiest.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, excellent, Montana.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Okay, Montana, the entire state of Montana is the least
- 9:38Speaker 3: expensive city. You're a genius, Amy, any idea.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Somewhere in Arkansas? But I don't.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Okay, but we're talking of major city, Oklahoma City.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Good, yes, And let's go to will Coleschreiber, San Juan,
- 9:55Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Oh, San Jua, Okay, San Juan, Puerto Rico.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Well you I didn't know we could use territories.
- 10:02Speaker 3: I want to go to Guam, Okay, Guam again, that's
- 10:06Speaker 3: an entire almost state, Thank you very much.
- 10:09Speaker 1: And Cono. Last one up, Spokane, Spokane, Washington. It is Detroit.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Detroit.
- 10:19Speaker 3: And the formula is as I said, that was used
- 10:25Speaker 3: by the California Legislative Office. Remember salary amenities, the skill set,
- 10:33Speaker 3: the job opportunities, all of that together made up the formula.
- 10:38Speaker 3: When the Legislative Analyst Office was asked and in their
- 10:42Speaker 3: report when they were trying to figure out why Detroit
- 10:47Speaker 3: is that the is the least expensive major city in
- 10:51Speaker 3: the United States, the answer is, well, it's Detroit. That
- 10:57Speaker 3: was the analysis. Thank you very much. Detroit overbuilt the
- 11:03Speaker 3: population leaving like crazy white flight. And it is easy
- 11:09Speaker 3: and cheap to live in Detroit if you want to
- 11:13Speaker 3: live in Detroit, because it's as the analyst said, it's well,
- 11:19Speaker 3: it's Detroit. And so Michael Lenzer was the professor of
- 11:25Speaker 3: Urban Planning and at UCLA, said the writing has been
- 11:29Speaker 3: on the wall for California for a very long period
- 11:32Speaker 3: of time. Well on its way to be considered the
- 11:35Speaker 3: most expensive city in the world.
- 11:38Speaker 1: That these cities.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Long Beach, too, by the way, is at the top
- 11:42Speaker 3: of the heap. San Jose is at the top of
- 11:44Speaker 3: the heap, so that's no surprise that this is the
- 11:49Speaker 3: most expensive place. I'll go further, and that is for
- 11:52Speaker 3: anybody that doesn't already own a home can sell and
- 11:56Speaker 3: then move up. The chances if you buying a house
- 12:00Speaker 3: unless you make an extraordinary salary. I think a million
- 12:04Speaker 3: dollar house today, and that's not an unusual house. I've
- 12:08Speaker 3: pointed out many times. We look out the window of
- 12:10Speaker 3: the studio and there are these little cracker Jack bucks
- 12:16Speaker 3: houses that are eleven hundred, twelve hundred square feet two bedroom,
- 12:19Speaker 3: three bedroom, one bath, a million dollars. So you have
- 12:22Speaker 3: to come up with two hundred thousand dollars down that's
- 12:24Speaker 3: in the bank, two hundred thousand dollars. You can write
- 12:26Speaker 3: a check for a wire the money in, and then
- 12:29Speaker 3: an eight hundred thousand dollars moregage. And I think the
- 12:31Speaker 3: formula is you have to be making one hundred and
- 12:33Speaker 3: seventy two thousand dollars a year to be able to
- 12:35Speaker 3: afford that house. After paying two hundred thousand dollars cash
- 12:42Speaker 3: into a down payment.
- 12:43Speaker 1: That's why it is so difficult.
- 12:45Speaker 3: My daughter tells me that all the time, Dad will
- 12:47Speaker 3: never be able to afford a house. Well, you're right,
- 12:49Speaker 3: You'll never be able to afford a house. I have one,
- 12:52Speaker 3: so too bad, you know, that's the way it goes. Well, Gee, Dad,
- 12:58Speaker 3: can I inherit the house? No, no, you can't. That's
- 13:02Speaker 3: not going to happen. Have a good life. There's time
- 13:05Speaker 3: for medical news. Doctor Jim Keeney, chief medical officer for
- 13:09Speaker 3: Dignity Saint Mary Medical Center in Long Beach, and he
- 13:12Speaker 3: is not in Long Beach. He is in Milan, Italy
- 13:16Speaker 3: for the Olympics. Good well for you, Good afternoon, Jim.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning, Bill.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Oh sounds really good. No, it's a great, great connection. Okay,
- 13:26Speaker 3: First of all, what venues are you at? What events
- 13:30Speaker 3: are you staring at?
- 13:32Speaker 2: So yesterday went to the Italy Germany women's hockey game
- 13:38Speaker 2: Dallas Fox, all right, And tonight tonight we're going to
- 13:43Speaker 2: figure skating dance format. You know.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Oh, good for you?
- 13:47Speaker 2: What it is?
- 13:47Speaker 1: Good for you?
- 13:48Speaker 3: And how was the women's the hockey?
- 13:54Speaker 2: It was fun, I mean, everybody obviously was super into
- 13:57Speaker 2: it and excited and you know, when you have a
- 13:59Speaker 2: crowd full of it talents rooting for the home team,
- 14:02Speaker 2: it was great. But of course, with a minute and
- 14:05Speaker 2: a half left, the Germans scored the winning, the winning
- 14:09Speaker 2: goal and just slid the puck. We were right at
- 14:11Speaker 2: that side to watch her slide the puck past the
- 14:14Speaker 2: Italian goal east foot, and it was a bummer at
- 14:18Speaker 2: that point because we were all rooting for Italy, but
- 14:20Speaker 2: we were actually in a German section, so it was
- 14:22Speaker 2: all good. It was all fun, all right.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Well, but they were allies, you know, during World War Two,
- 14:27Speaker 3: Germany Italy were like best weddies. So I'm glad you
- 14:31Speaker 3: went by the way. Number one, was it expensive to
- 14:33Speaker 3: get the tickets? Number two? Was it difficult to get there?
- 14:37Speaker 3: Probably not, because that was in the city, right.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean, of course, you know, mass transit
- 14:44Speaker 2: in Europe is so much better. We have had zero
- 14:47Speaker 2: problems getting to any of the venues, super easy, not
- 14:50Speaker 2: even it doesn't even feel crowded. Actually feels much less
- 14:53Speaker 2: crowded than when we came here for your wedding. So
- 14:56Speaker 2: really it's really nice. And the prices have not been
- 15:00Speaker 2: act up, you know, they're really seem to be in
- 15:02Speaker 2: line with what they were before. So it's pleasant, and
- 15:06Speaker 2: the weather's.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Been curious curious. How expensive is it to go to
- 15:12Speaker 3: one of these events?
- 15:14Speaker 2: So yeah, it really depends very variable. I mean, the
- 15:17Speaker 2: cheapest tickets I've seen are about thirty bucks and the
- 15:20Speaker 2: most expensive tickets I've seen are about eight hundred and so
- 15:24Speaker 2: like women's ice skating, our tickets, I think we're about
- 15:27Speaker 2: four fifty each to get. Almost expensive ticket I bought
- 15:31Speaker 2: was for the ice skating, but oh yeah, you know,
- 15:33Speaker 2: they were sixty dollars for hockey last night. Sound and the.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Women are very big and they're very well built, if
- 15:40Speaker 3: you know what I mean, wearing flannel shirts and stout shoes.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Women's icea something like that. Yeah, women hockey players. Okay,
- 15:50Speaker 3: And now it is medical news doctor Jim Keiney who
- 15:53Speaker 3: is in Milan watching various events at the Olympics, and Jim,
- 16:01Speaker 3: Airbnb and bedbugs.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to the Olympics. Tell me what's going on?
- 16:09Speaker 2: Yeah? So I mean, number one, you know, bed bugs
- 16:11Speaker 2: can happen anywhere. They tend to travel in people's luggage
- 16:15Speaker 2: and everywhere else, and so any you know, you could
- 16:18Speaker 2: stay at a five star resort and still get bedbugs.
- 16:20Speaker 2: So don't want to imply anything with that. But I've
- 16:24Speaker 2: never seen one before until this trip. All of a sudden,
- 16:27Speaker 2: look down, there's a bedbug crawling on our sweater. And
- 16:32Speaker 2: I didn't want to believe it. I've never seen one before,
- 16:34Speaker 2: so I took a picture of it. I Google lensed
- 16:36Speaker 2: it and it definitely said that's a bed bug. So,
- 16:39Speaker 2: you know, I called Airbnb and said, hey, you know,
- 16:41Speaker 2: we're going to move. We don't want to stay here tonight,
- 16:45Speaker 2: and they said, well, send us pictures. I send her
- 16:47Speaker 2: a picture of the bedbug, and they say, no, we
- 16:49Speaker 2: need more. We need pictures of bite, we need pictures
- 16:52Speaker 2: of blood spattering on the on the sheets. You know,
- 16:56Speaker 2: we won't refund you just for a picture of a
- 16:58Speaker 2: bed bug. Like, look, I'm going online to another Airbnb.
- 17:02Speaker 2: It's not like I'm bailing on you know, Milan here.
- 17:05Speaker 2: I'm gonna move to another one. But I'm just not
- 17:07Speaker 2: staying here tonight. I don't care what you say. So yeah,
- 17:11Speaker 2: so right now we're We've got a little beef with
- 17:13Speaker 2: the Airbnb sponsor of the Milan Olympics. By the way,
- 17:16Speaker 2: that they are. You know, they don't want to refund me.
- 17:20Speaker 2: I think I'll probably go through my credit card company next.
- 17:23Speaker 2: And you know, I called the owners of course too.
- 17:25Speaker 2: They were willing to move me to another place that
- 17:28Speaker 2: was like, you know, three miles away, but you know,
- 17:30Speaker 2: we're on vacation. We're here to see this area. So
- 17:33Speaker 2: that was that wasn't gonna work for me. But anyway,
- 17:36Speaker 2: that's our saga. You know, bed bugs they don't really
- 17:39Speaker 2: carry any any severe illness or anything like that, but
- 17:41Speaker 2: they can cause some pretty spere bites that swell up
- 17:44Speaker 2: depending on how allergic you are to it.
- 17:46Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you, you've been how many days
- 17:49Speaker 3: have you been there before you discovered the bear?
- 17:51Speaker 1: The bed bugs?
- 17:53Speaker 2: We slept there one night and then the next evening
- 17:56Speaker 2: is when we found them.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Okay, but have they bitten you? Which is no fun.
- 18:01Speaker 3: I've been bitten by bed bugs before. Have you been
- 18:04Speaker 3: personally affected or you just saw them?
- 18:07Speaker 2: No? I just saw them, so I just I didn't
- 18:09Speaker 2: want to wait around to be personally affected. All right,
- 18:14Speaker 2: how much are you paying book a law event?
- 18:16Speaker 1: Okay?
- 18:17Speaker 3: Okay, so we're everything boils down the money for me,
- 18:20Speaker 3: as you know, and also a STDs.
- 18:23Speaker 1: So let me, uh, let me ask you this. How
- 18:26Speaker 1: much are you paying per night for your airbnb in Milan.
- 18:31Speaker 2: For the first one or the second one? Yeah?
- 18:32Speaker 1: No, the one, yeah, first, first the second The first.
- 18:35Speaker 2: One, first one was four hundred a.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Night okay, and the second one.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Like closer to fifty at night.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Oh okay.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Uh, so now you're you're hassling them for four hundred dollars,
- 18:51Speaker 3: but also moving is a pain. And uh and why
- 18:54Speaker 3: didn't you get the two fifty a night to begin with.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Because it wasn't available. So it was whether prices went
- 19:01Speaker 2: down as you got as you got closer to the Olympics.
- 19:03Speaker 2: The prices actually went down.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Oh interesting, So tell me about the sort of flavor
- 19:09Speaker 3: you're talking to Americans. There is everybody happy, campers are
- 19:13Speaker 3: all excited.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Uh, what's happening as uh? As an observer?
- 19:19Speaker 2: Yeah, now there's a lot of a lot of Americans.
- 19:22Speaker 2: There's a lot of Netherlands because I mean they wear orange,
- 19:25Speaker 2: so they're easy to spot. So I feel like I
- 19:27Speaker 2: see them everywhere. You know, a lot of it's it's
- 19:30Speaker 2: very international, I mean as Milan is on a regular day,
- 19:32Speaker 2: but lots of people from different countries. One night at
- 19:36Speaker 2: dinner though, I mean literally the table next to me,
- 19:39Speaker 2: the woman went to u c l A undergrad, and
- 19:42Speaker 2: then the table next to that also the gentleman was there.
- 19:45Speaker 2: He said, Oh, I went to UCLA undergrad as well,
- 19:47Speaker 2: So like it's like an old alumni connection here.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Hey, are you running into any athletes at all?
- 19:59Speaker 2: Uh? No, I'm running into a lot of people that
- 20:01Speaker 2: work for the Olympics. They're wearing Olympic garb, and so
- 20:05Speaker 2: we'll ask them, are you are participating in the Olympics,
- 20:07Speaker 2: and they say, yeah, we're either a vendor or somebody
- 20:11Speaker 2: like doing broadcasting. A lot of people here doing broadcasting.
- 20:14Speaker 2: We'll probably run into more people broadcasting than any other
- 20:17Speaker 2: than any other activity.
- 20:19Speaker 1: And all in all, the trip is worthwhile for you.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Excitement excitement level one to ten.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's super exciting. I love Milan and it
- 20:30Speaker 2: was a good excuse to come, and it's it's not
- 20:32Speaker 2: inconvenient at all. I was a little worried about crowds
- 20:35Speaker 2: and all that and costs being ballooned up, but really
- 20:38Speaker 2: it's just like another winter day in Milan here and
- 20:41Speaker 2: super nice.
- 20:42Speaker 3: All right, So you're not going to any event outside
- 20:46Speaker 3: all of them.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Yeah, tomorrow we leave for kind of the Italian Alps
- 20:53Speaker 2: and we'll go to the snowboarding events in Levigno, and
- 20:57Speaker 2: so that'll be outdoors, and it'll be at outdo it
- 21:00Speaker 2: in the colder weather. Looks like it's going to be
- 21:01Speaker 2: twenty to thirty degrees up there, and.
- 21:04Speaker 3: I understand that because of climate change everything is warmer,
- 21:08Speaker 3: they're actually manufacturing snow in those events.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Do I have that right?
- 21:13Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't hear that, but I know
- 21:15Speaker 2: it's supposed to snow there today and tomorrow, so we're
- 21:19Speaker 2: probably going to be traveling through snow tomorrow to get there.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Okay, and you take a train half far a distance
- 21:24Speaker 3: you have to go to get to that event.
- 21:29Speaker 2: We could go as short as like four hours, but again,
- 21:34Speaker 2: no place to stay in Levigno. That's reasonable, So next
- 21:37Speaker 2: count over is an extra forty five minutes and the
- 21:41Speaker 2: place is there super nice, you know, a lot less expensive,
- 21:45Speaker 2: and we get to go through the Bernini Pass, which
- 21:47Speaker 2: is that red train that people see in movies going
- 21:49Speaker 2: through the Italian and the Swiss Alps. So yeah, that'll
- 21:53Speaker 2: be a fun little excursion.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been there and you're going to love it
- 21:58Speaker 3: because it's all out there, so you're going to have
- 22:01Speaker 3: this tremendous view of gray as you go through the past.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I just wanted to make you feel good about.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Whatever you spent going there five hours on a train
- 22:11Speaker 3: to see snowboarding.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Okay, nice? Yeah, why not?
- 22:17Speaker 3: And of course, since you know Italy, the food is spectacular, there's.
- 22:21Speaker 2: No issue everywhere everywhere. Yeah, it's amazing every You can't
- 22:26Speaker 2: get a bad plate of food here.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Yep, well it's kind of neat. I would say, I
- 22:31Speaker 3: envy you, but I don't know. I was talking about
- 22:36Speaker 3: with Lindsay going to opening ceremonies, and I can't even
- 22:41Speaker 3: imagine what the tickets were like. Did you even think
- 22:43Speaker 3: of opening ceremony in Milan?
- 22:47Speaker 2: No, I mean I didn't even when you ask me
- 22:49Speaker 2: the prices, I didn't even tell you that. I mean
- 22:50Speaker 2: I think those were like twelve hundred was the low end,
- 22:54Speaker 2: you know, super expensive to get to opening ceremonies. So
- 22:56Speaker 2: we didn't even consider it, okay.
- 22:59Speaker 3: And I can't imagine what it's going to be like
- 23:00Speaker 3: in La all right, So what time is it over there?
- 23:04Speaker 2: Four five o'clock in the afternoon, Yes, five o'clock.
