  Speaker 1: have ever been.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Up in a little airplane? I go, yeah, yeah, a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: bunch of times.

  Speaker 3: But we're talking about flying, not spending time in the closet.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And so I actually solod because I was gonna het
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: my pilot's license. And the reason I soloed, and I'll
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: give you the reason. I'm so out of Van Eyes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I flew out of the Van Ey's airport and when
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I started and my first solo, and this is what
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do. This was the reason. Is the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: control tower. I was cleared. You knows, Sessa eight six
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: four whatever. You're cleared for a takeoff, you're cleared for takeoff,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a touch and go, or you just touch and then

  Speaker 4: your own control.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You know you'd ask because I'm an aviation buff. Yeah,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not a pilot. Because it's a lot of work
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to fly.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You're looking around all the time, you're looking at the instruments,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you're looking at airspeed. You're not enjoying looking around and

• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Will points that out because we don't have an airplane anymore.

• 4:53
  Speaker 2: damn that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: But he's in his Chon's chilling.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. That's why I like broadcasting at home.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I have of a thirty foot commute, and I just
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: literally just walked down the stairs going to the studio
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and going my own shower.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I'm still in my pga E step in the summer
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: where I.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Go commando and the nards are going back and forth
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and flying and hanging over the Chair's.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Fine, you know that? Is it true?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Will gives you custom report. It looks like the elevator
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: is clear. Right now, you can make way down from
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: the pisser.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: All right, you should be there any minute. Okay, let's
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: do it, guys.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, on a Friday, We've got plenty of stuff to cover.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Handle on the news with Amy neil Me lead Storrye.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: A president, in a not surprising move, really got pissed
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: off the Ontario. Canada, in the country of Canada are
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: running ads in the US quoting and actually running ads
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of Ronald Reagan talking about traps said he did during
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a speech while he was president, ripping into tariffs as
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to how bad they are.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Canada is running those.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Trump is so angry with that that he has just
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: stopped all negotiations with Canada.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: We're done with Canada over an ad and he says
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it's fake news.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It is not. Ronald Reagan did say that? Is the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: ad edited?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, to some extent, I'm reading all of I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: reading the whole thing.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen those.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: It's edited.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I think the premise doesn't stop. Ronald Reagan does not
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: say I love tariffs. So edited Trump is right fake news?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Not quite.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, don't don't piss off this president,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: even if you are a country, don't piss them off.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: And Canada still refuses to say sorry. So so who listen.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Who starts a fight with Canada? And then Canada is
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: just poking the bear too?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I mean exactly yes at this point, why because they
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: love bears, A lot of bears, because they're going Canada.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's it's really interesting how after Trump said Canada should
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: be our fifty first state and a bunch of losers
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: who poked for so the prime minister Trump does, Yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the prime the Prime Minister of Canada.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It was going to lose.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was going to be wiped out in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the election. That saved him and the party came back and.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Strong, and they should do.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: What they should do is think Trump, thank you, thank you,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: thank you, you saved us.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: He is a magnet, her attracts or repels.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, moving on.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: No surprise, the twenty nine year old accused of starting
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: a fire early on New Year's Morning that a week
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: later erupted and turned into the deadly Palisades fires. Pleaded
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: not guilty in an LA courtroom. He's facing three federal charges.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Jonathan Rinderneck used to live in Pacific Palisades. They arrested him, remember,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: in Florida earlier this month, and for these charges, he
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: could face up to forty five years in prison.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And he's going to get the ball too.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be consecutive and the jud's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: going to give him max considering what happened well, and I.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Think it's going to be interesting to see.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Is he going to face charges for all the people
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: who died too that hasn't even come up?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Ye? Yeah. And he's going to spend the rest of
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: his life in jail, and he's going to be ordered.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: To pay restitution. He doesn't have any money, that is.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Correct, but the restitution is going to be a whopper here. Now,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the interesting story is that he lit the fire and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a week later it exploded.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Remember it was that one that started on New Year's
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: and it was like eight acres they put it out.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the smolder they were obviously smoldering embers that reignited.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you've got a Senate bill that came in,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: it's been blowed, and this had to deal with paying
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: federal workers during the shutdown.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So of course this seems not pretty.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Much sliced down partisan lines here, But this is about
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: those that have to work in the government, that just
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: have to work and whether they are going to be
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: paid during this time they have to work during the shutdown.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Regardless what am I missing here?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know why the Democrats would kill this bill.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I just don't get it, because it's about paying.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Workers that have to be paid, you know, having nothing
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to do with the extension of Obamacare and bringing back
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the extension the addition of Medicaid people.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: But you know, it's usually not what straightforward though bill,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: it's something that's hidden. So Democrats are arguing that Johnson's
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: bill gave the White House Budget Director Russell Vought way
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: too much leeway on determining which workers would get paid
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: which would not, and they felt they were going to
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: you know, Yeah, and.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: The Republicans are saying it's a clean bill, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: it's only what we have before. That's not true. There
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: are changes, not huge changes. I mean, we're not talking
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: about Obamacare extension. I mean big, big stuff. But you know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it's it doesn't matter. I was listening to an interview yesterday.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: If the Democrats say yes, the Republicans say no, If
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the Democrats.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Say you most, if instead of listening.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: If the Democrats simply say it's raining outside, no, no.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It's not. Okay. Don't you think that goes both ways? Yes, okay, yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: but that's the problem.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's only a problem if it goes both Yeah. Yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it absolutely goes both ways. If the Democrats say it's raining, no,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it's not. If the Republicans say it's raining, no, it's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: not yet unless they both go outside and get wet,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: then they agree.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: No, they'll never agree. No, persons, I'm just sweating.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this one big.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: The NBA, the mafia.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: And millions and millions and sports and poker bets, Portland
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Trailblazers head coach and Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups, also
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: Miami guard heat Terry Rosier or Rosier, and former NBA
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: journeyman Damon Jones among thirty four people indicted. There's two
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: separate federal gambling investigations that they uncovered or announced yesterday,
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: and they involve players like fixing games, kind of like
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: coming out of a game early to affect some of
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: the prop bets. That's weird and which could affect millions
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: and millions of people because of all the online sports betting.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: And then the other one was had to do with
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: poker games where they would like lure people into to
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: play these high stakes games by using celebrities and stuff.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: And then they have X ray machines so they could
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: see the cards on the table. They have cards shufflers
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: that can sort of manipulate the cards, and the mafia
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: is involved.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Do you know to an interview on CNN, I do
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: CNN radio sometimes coming in in the morning. Sorry about that,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: George instead of George Nori. So Terry not a problem, Bill,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I know there was, So I don't know who it was.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Just take this pill, but it will feel better. Were
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you saying talking about Terry Rosier who's a ballplayer? And
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: he mentioned right after Rosier was talking to Venusians Because
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: this was just as George Norry was ending the guy
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: makes twenty six million dollars.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: What the hell is he doing?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You know, why would you do that to make fifty
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: None of that makes sense.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can see the mafia guys who are
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: ripping people off. I can see former players maybe.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: You know no longer have the money.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: But come on, guys, well you remember when Winona Ryder
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: was cut stealing?
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's cut the yet. Yeah, but that's
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Maybe there's some maybe you know, I'll buy that, just
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: some compulsion there.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe he got in with the mafia and they forced
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: him to do it. Maybe maybe the mob was all
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: over this place.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: All right, So more garbage comes out of Pacific Palisades.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Of course, when you have that much damage and that
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: much rebuilding to take place, people are going to have
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: pretty deep emotions tied into it. In this one deals
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: with Gladstone's longtime community staple. We've all been there, we
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: love it, and they're looking to rebuild and to do
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: something different. The plan calls for demolishing the existing twelve
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: thousand square foot seafood restaurant and replacing it with an
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: even larger one seventeen thy five hundred square foot but
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: contemporary dining space. You're looking at the celebrity chef Wolfgang
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Puck going in there, Frank Airy, Frank Garry, Yeah, Walt
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Disney Concert Hall, Googenheim Museum.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I know this is whos in Santa Monica. You know
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that Frank Gary.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I did not know.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he lives in He has a tin roof on
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: his house. Is a relatively small house. Uh, you know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, it's a Frank Garry kind of house.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The architecture, but the guy is world famous. And this
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: is so they're gonna go from a restaurant to a restaurant. Yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: but Gladys Stone was falling apart the building.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, it's hard when you're emotionally attached
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: to these things. So neighbors, even though it was passed
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: unanimously to get the right to do this, you've got
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: residents saying that they're saddened by it. You know, you're
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: gonna they said, they're gonna there's gonna be less parking
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: and things like that. The stuff that you can't really
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: argue about is, oh, it's going to cause disruption, you
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: know what. There's gonna be construction in that area for
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: a long time. Unfortunately.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this isn't the only thing built in that area.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: It's just sad because Gladstones is so iconic.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: And it was approachable and we don't know if this
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: one is going to be higher costs, so it's not
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: going to be approachable for locals or the same talking.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Talking about how cost amy, let's do this one and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: then we'll take a break.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Okay, Oh, still high, but lo two three percent is
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: the new inflation numbers that were just reported Friday. They
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: were delayed by a week because of the government shutdown.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Economists had expected prices to go up three point one
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: percent in December. They rose three percent. Two point nine
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: percent was the year over year increase for August.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but so well what the Fed wants to two percent?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And we're not going in that right now.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: We're not going in that direction two percent. So inflation
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: is hitting us. I mean, we things are more expensive.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I just bought the horrible sandwich shut down the hall
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: at our machine thing.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: It was just some misch in decaffetorium. Yeah. Yeah, the flavor,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it's just like the last I don't even know. That's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: like an egg salad sentwe well that's what.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: They say, but who we I didn't know that egg
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: salad sandwich. I egged were purple. They didn't have like
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: raw to Yeah. The point is that sandwich a couple
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of years ago was three ninety five, it's five eighty six.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what, I was talking to Ann yesterday
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: about this, because she's a big Halloween person too and
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: decorates her house. We're talking about candy. We spent over
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: one hundred dollars on candy, and that's our first haull.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, there's no kid on the planet that's worth one
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars for candy. Give me a break. CBS has
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a buy one, get one for a buck, right now,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: huh huh, And then you can make a mummy out
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of the receipt. All right, we'll be exactly good point.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: That's a very good point.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Contaminated meat from grocery store maybe causing your ut eyes.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Good night everybody.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's fairly new. So this is.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: A long standing belief, apparently that urinary tract infections are
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: largely caused by poor personal hygiene.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they enter the arethra.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: No great, Aretha Franklin, Yeah, Ureith for Franklin. Yeah, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: there's this news, this new research that suggests that many
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: cases may actually be caused by infectious e coal I
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: back terrier from contaminated meat. I always thought it was
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: a UTI was from contaminated meat.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: WHOA, Okay, let's let's move on on that one. Amy,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: you want to take that, Let's move on.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Letitia James, new York's attorney general, wants her case to
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: be dismissed.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: She's filed a notice.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Her plan or her team plans to ask for her
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: indictment to be dismissed because of the appointment of President
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Trump's handpicked prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan. The two page brief also
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: included a footnote referring to another recent indictment against former
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: FBI Director James, the same thing.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: He wants his case dismissed.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both of them are arguing the same thing. In
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the case of Letitia James, the attorney general for the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Southern District of Virginia.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I think Leticia James, Yeah, she stayed in New York.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: No, no, I understand, but I think it was filed by
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the Southern District. If I'm not mistaken anyway. Who the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: previous one refused, refused to indict, refused to go forward,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and so Trump fired him and replaced with her who
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: had never done a prosecution in her life. She was
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: his attorney. But here is going to be the argument,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: even if President Trump instituted it, certainly with Komi, and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he said he should be indicted, he should be tried,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he should be put in jail. I think the argument's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: going to be notwithstanding any of all that there is
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: still enough here to convict. There is still a crime here.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I think the courts are going to say that's right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think the case is going to be dismissed
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: because Trump going after her obviously for political reasons, and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: her being guilty or not mutually exclusive. So I don't think.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be dismissed. We'll see.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: It's that's a hard row to hoe or a hoe
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: to row.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Okay uh Alaska Airlines didn't they have some problems in
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: the past as well. They had some of the Boeing issues. Well,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: they just had a new one yesterday. They experienced an
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: IT outage and it affected operations.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Obviously, they.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Dealt with massive headaches at the gates and people were
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: delayed and people were upset. I've never had that kind
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: of catastrophic experience.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I've seen delayed. I've seen parts that were I've.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: But I you know, I think going to your wedding,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: as a matter of fact, there was some issue like
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you had to be there thirty minutes to be proved
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: to leave out of don't a or something, some weird thing,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: some weird thing, but never knock on anyway.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: So they're grounded by this it issue issue. I thought,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I said, uti issue because we're doing it because of
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the filthy meat. Because of the filthy meat.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: You would be filthy, you filthy, disgusting meat.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: All right, penny for your thoughts.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: You can't say that much longer because apparently some retailers
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: are running out of pennies without enough pennies. According to
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: a spokesperson for Quick Trip, which is a convenience story,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: says stores can't make the correct change for cash transactions.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: The Treasury Department officially stopped making pennies earlier this year,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: which came after President Trump told the department in February
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: to stop making It costs three cents to make a
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: one sentence.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He's right, Well, think about this, What a pain in
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the ass those pennies. You go in and you get
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: change four cents because something goes five oh one or whatever.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: You don't just round up or round down.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Done, gonna have to do that to the five cent markers.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course they are.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, pennies make no sense. You know
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: in England there are called pins you know that named
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: after Pence, I know, named after Mike.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: They he's a real big here, he's really old.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyway, they it's it doesn't make any sense.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Then he didn't want to get rid of the penny.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: He said, every penny is sacred. Okay, all right, So
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: onto the Poultergeist. The Poultergeist House in Seem Valley. You
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: remember that the quits essential eighties house. Yes, well, the
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: owner of the home that was featured in that nineteen
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: eighty two blockbuster movie Poultergeist.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Not the remake is available on Airbnb.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: What a sec? It imploded. Yes, it's just a hole
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: in the ground.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: So they hooked up a they hooked up a hose
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: in a pump and it turned out it just needed
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: to be refilled.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Have you ever seen the special effects on what it
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: yet to plowed?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: That?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: It was brilliant. Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: So apparently the story goes that they were reading the
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: script and the special effects advisors are going through it
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: and they're like, and it it spelled wrong.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: It should be exploded right, and then no, it implodes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: You can rent, you can so, Yeah, and I guess
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: they've they put a bunch of furnishinges and horror films
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: and nineteen eighties nostalgia in there there.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Ok, there's a lot.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: There's a haunted mansion, Disney themed one in Fullerton that
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: looks a maze balls and I think it goes for
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: six eight hundred dollars a night during this season.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but those are friendly ghosts casts you it's got it. No,
• 22:42

  Speaker 4: Happy haunts, Happy haunts, Yeah, nine hundred and ninety nine happy.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Haunts, exactly, different kind of ghost. Good news if you
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: don't want to grow up.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Get it toys. R Us is reopening stores across the.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: Not a ton of them. Two of them are in California.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: They say that they're going to open thirty new locations,
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: including a flagship store at the Camerio Premium outlets. Oh
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: that's a good outlet, and from Captain Obvious. They say
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: the news stores are designed as convenient, family friendly destinations.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: No kidding, Lego, Barbie, hot Wheels, Nerve, Paw Patrol, all
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: your favorite goods.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I thought that the toys that the brand name toys
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: r US was bought by someone else. I thought it
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: was Macy's. Yeah, I think they put it in. Yes,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: so originally, what toys are us? They try? Toys is us?
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: And what were you doing, buddy? That didn't work so well?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Pot don't take all of us in with you, Okay,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: moving on, pull over and let us get out, moving out,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: moving on. Yeah, just stop the car.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: You do what you want, Okay, Neil, I'm just putting,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: you know, like when you go grocery shopping. I'm putting
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: a little rubber space between you and me.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Elon Musk taking name at the head of NASA. He's
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: pissed because I guess NASA said, hey, we may or
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: may not use SpaceX MASS. I mean it's a lucrative contract, obviously,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: but in some of their projects transporting astronauts to the
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: moon and surface again and all those things, I guess
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: the head of NASA made mentioned that they may or
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: may not. His name is Sean Duffy, and so now
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Elon Musk whichest man in the world started calling him
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: names and because dummy sean dummy, that's a good one.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: And then he's duty pants too, bro.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And yeah, the argument is that but they have a contract. Well,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: they have a contract, but he has breached the contract
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: must now because it's just onn't over.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Time, it's just delayed, delay, delayed.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: So Duffy is saying, Okay, we're thinking of going someplace
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: else where else is he gonna go, oh, there's a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: blue horizon, there's uh are they proven you can't do boeing?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: No, we had problems with that, Darliner.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: They did, they did, so I think they're going to
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: default because Musk is miles ahead of anybody else in
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: terms of technology, and sir, they are.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: But don't you love the fact that the only one
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: that can go past any sort of deadline and budget
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: is the government. We still have that high speed rail
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: debacle going on, and it's like it's going to cost
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: billions of billions more.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: That's okay, your government.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Mostly when people get upset about that. But what are
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you gonna do? I mean, can you sue the government? Yeah,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you sue the government.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: But how are you still the higher speed rip. Yeah,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: how are you damage? Well, that's not going to happen.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I say they're making an airbnb.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're in way, way too deep on that. All right,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I think we have time for one more.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Oh look, ma, no hands and no eyes either. General
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Motors has unveiled new eyes off driving technology. Mary Barrow
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: says it's going to be available starting in twenty twenty eight,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: and then during this unveiling this week, she said, imagine
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: you step into your vehicle, you push a button, and
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: it drives you to the office. You catch up on work,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: send emails, or watch an episode of your favorite show.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: The card drops you off, then it goes to get
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: your dry cleaning, take out for dinner, and comes back
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: in time so you can drive the kids to their
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: soccer game.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Blind double amputees are thrilled with this. They really are
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: looking at this GM vehicle.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, another SpaceX story. This is a weird ass story
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: legal battle between SpaceX and that that dark game Cards
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Against Humanity of your loves that game.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: It's you live it bill. Cards against Humanity.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, just the against hum Humanity.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: But it's a pretty dark but fun uh card game there.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Well, it's this is a weird story.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Lawsuit says that the card company accused SpaceX of ignoring
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: posted no trespassing signs while dumping construction material, gravel and
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: other debris on the land there. And yeah it was
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: over land. Yeah that they have in your Mexican New
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Mexico borders.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And it just just because SpaceX, it becomes huge news.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: All right, one last one, Amy, We have to pull
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: this one out because this one is just too delicious
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: for words.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Just a pinch of salt didn't taste very sweet. Because
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: kids at a middle school in one of my little hometowns,
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: tiger To, Oregon, which is a suburb of Portland, say
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: that students got served pretzels with oven cleaner sprinkled on
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: them earlier this week.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: How could that happen?
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Because it was granulated oven cleaner and most mistakenly applied
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: to the pretzels.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Why is this the story?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: So what oven cleaner on pretzels served the kids?
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Come on, big deal? It was a few dead kids.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I will say if that is the only
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: similarity between the two things, you fire everybody and you
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: relabel get a brother. There are those brother labelers are
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: cheap go in there and put poison salt.
• 28:06
