- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM640, the Bill Handel Show on
- 0:04Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Good Friday morning to you as we go into possibly
- 0:12Speaker 2: a wet weekend. You know, getting into the car this morning,
- 0:15Speaker 2: just talking to Tim Cates from our sister station, AM570
- 0:18Speaker 2: LA Sports, and doing the morning show over there. He
- 0:21Speaker 2: popped in and said hello, and we were talking about
- 0:23Speaker 2: how the weather shifted this morning. I mean, last night
- 0:29Speaker 2: when I was locking everything up and doing my normal rounds,
- 0:32Speaker 2: I could tell there was something a little shifty. But
- 0:34Speaker 2: this morning, the cars were all wet. Everything was all wet.
- 0:37Speaker 2: There was moisture in the air. You get that too, Amy?
- 0:41Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't it great?
- 0:42Speaker 2: Yeah, you could just feel it. We were talking about this.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Last week, how it's been so hot and you feel
- 0:47Speaker 3: that crispness in the air when the switch comes. And
- 0:50Speaker 3: I felt that this morning for the first time.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Yeah, there was no dew in the morning or anything
- 0:54Speaker 2: for the past months because it's been so hot. But, yeah,
- 1:00Speaker 2: you could feel today, this morning, a little bit of
- 1:02Speaker 2: that change. Welcoming it. I saw as we're going into
- 1:08Speaker 2: the next week, there's going to be a couple nights
- 1:10Speaker 2: where it's like 55 or something. And that 55 is
- 1:13Speaker 2: usually when it feels crisp at night. Like 55 and
- 1:19Speaker 2: lower is when you start feeling like, oh, it's getting
- 1:22Speaker 2: a little nippy outside. And start looking at your sweaters. Yeah.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:29Speaker 2: What you're going to layer yourself in. All right. Niels Vader,
- 1:33Speaker 2: morning crew with you. Happy Friday to you. And we
- 1:37Speaker 2: are looking forward to whatever weather we get. Just make
- 1:40Speaker 2: sure that you are taking heed any of the recommendations.
- 1:44Speaker 2: If you are in one of those slide areas or
- 1:46Speaker 2: flood areas and stay safe, shall you? So longevity, it
- 1:52Speaker 2: is the thing of fables and, And wants and dreams forever, right?
- 2:00Speaker 2: It's not about getting old. It's about getting old and
- 2:04Speaker 2: holding on to your faculties, right? It's being able to live,
- 2:07Speaker 2: to thrive. And more and more super-agers, which is what
- 2:11Speaker 2: they're calling people that are living and thriving long past 80.
- 2:17Speaker 2: And everybody has, you know, they always go, this is
- 2:22Speaker 2: Ellen Ladenberger. She's 104 years young. And I will tell
- 2:31Speaker 2: you that we're going to ask her a question. My
- 2:35Speaker 2: dear lady, what do you do to be able to
- 2:40Speaker 2: live and thrive at this age? And she's like, whiskey
- 2:44Speaker 2: and cigarettes. My husband also died when I was 35.
- 2:48Speaker 2: And you're like, okay, well, that sounds like a pretty
- 2:52Speaker 2: good recipe for living. But it's hard to tell. A
- 2:56Speaker 2: lot of it goes back to the genes. And that's
- 3:01Speaker 2: just part of it. You come from a lineage of that.
- 3:06Speaker 2: But more and more people are growing older and they're
- 3:10Speaker 2: doing better. My mom's 88. And I think just a
- 3:13Speaker 2: couple of years ago, she got a little bit of
- 3:16Speaker 2: a spin from Parkinson's or something like it. that has
- 3:22Speaker 2: changed things very rapidly, but she retired at 80. She
- 3:26Speaker 2: hung wallpaper for a living. And she said, and she
- 3:30Speaker 2: didn't even need to. She just said, I was tired
- 3:32Speaker 2: of people looking at me strange because I was an
- 3:34Speaker 2: 80 year old woman climbing a 12 foot ladder. But
- 3:37Speaker 2: she carried five gallon buckets of paste and the like
- 3:42Speaker 2: and didn't think twice about it. But after 86, 87
- 3:46Speaker 2: or something, it took a hard left with being able
- 3:49Speaker 2: to navigate things with her feet and stuff that her
- 3:55Speaker 2: body wasn't responding the same way but she's still as
- 4:00Speaker 2: crazy as she ever was that never changed but more
- 4:04Speaker 2: and more having uh you know someone in their 80s
- 4:09Speaker 2: i have an aunt who's older than my mom by
- 4:12Speaker 2: a year and my my auntie who i adore my
- 4:17Speaker 2: aunt donna She doesn't look any different. She is exactly
- 4:24Speaker 2: the same over the years. I would not freak out
- 4:27Speaker 2: if I found out she was a vampirist. She just–
- 4:30Speaker 2: she is never– her attitude, language, everything is exactly the
- 4:37Speaker 2: same as when I met her as a wee one.
- 4:39Speaker 2: She just is lively and a fireball and hilarious and–
- 4:45Speaker 2: Lovely human being. One of my favorite human beings on
- 4:48Speaker 2: the planet. She and her husband, my Uncle Bob. But yeah,
- 4:53Speaker 2: I don't see people. We've gotten to the place where
- 4:57Speaker 2: we have figured whatever out. And more and more as
- 5:02Speaker 2: the super-agers are popping up. And the mental and physical
- 5:08Speaker 2: abilities they have are of a much younger person. So
- 5:15Speaker 2: they've been maintaining memory capacity compared to somebody that is
- 5:19Speaker 2: 20 or 30 years younger. So people in their 50s
- 5:24Speaker 2: and 60s, they've got that mentality in their 80s. And now,
- 5:29Speaker 2: whether you're going to become one of these super agers
- 5:31Speaker 2: or what I read at first was a super rager.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I want to go to that. Super ragers.
- 5:37Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, no, it says super ager. But it's
- 5:39Speaker 2: still a party, right? Still a party. Yeah. It really
- 5:43Speaker 2: depends on a lot of things, a mix of innate biology.
- 5:48Speaker 2: That's really going to be a good chunk of it
- 5:50Speaker 2: in genetics. Lifestyle habits. I have some horrible habits, obviously,
- 5:56Speaker 2: and I have some good ones. Never smoked and didn't
- 6:01Speaker 2: do drugs. And if I did, it was in a
- 6:03Speaker 2: very short amount of time and never did again. Never
- 6:06Speaker 2: did any psycho drugs or anything like that, psychedelics or anything.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And so that hasn't been part of who I am.
- 6:15Speaker 2: So there's a point for me. I've been horrible on
- 6:17Speaker 2: my body in other different ways. Sparring, fighting, things like
- 6:21Speaker 2: that takes its toll. You can feel things as you
- 6:24Speaker 2: get older for sure. Though large part of it comes
- 6:28Speaker 2: down to natural physical resilience. I mean, there's just people
- 6:33Speaker 2: you see that age well, right? We have a certain
- 6:37Speaker 2: amount of elasticity in our skin, in our joints, in
- 6:43Speaker 2: just our physical makeup, like any car. I mean, you've
- 6:46Speaker 2: got parts rubbing against each other. You've got all kinds
- 6:48Speaker 2: of things. So memory and cognition, according to research from
- 6:52Speaker 2: Northwestern University Super Aging Program, because they're studying more and
- 6:56Speaker 2: more of this, you must be 80 plus and pass
- 6:59Speaker 2: rigorous episodic memory tests to qualify. You know, I went
- 7:04Speaker 2: to the doctor. Gosh, I think years ago. I think
- 7:09Speaker 2: maybe I turned 50 or something. And this really lovely
- 7:14Speaker 2: younger nurse walks in with a clock, like a paper
- 7:18Speaker 2: clock with the hands that you can move. And she's like,
- 7:21Speaker 2: what time is this? And I looked at her and
- 7:24Speaker 2: I'm like, it's 3.03. Why are we doing this? Oh,
- 7:31Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Mr. Saavedra. Everybody over 50 has to get
- 7:34Speaker 2: these cognitive... And I laugh. I don't care how old
- 7:38Speaker 2: I am. I'm still an idiot. But I was like, oh,
- 7:41Speaker 2: my gosh, I'm at that age. I'm at that age.
- 7:46Speaker 2: And I hosted a senior thing the other day for
- 7:48Speaker 2: 50 and older. I'm 57. For 50 and older. I'm like, ah,
- 7:53Speaker 2: I'll take it. But if I could make it to 80,
- 7:55Speaker 2: my dad, God bless him, only made it to 73.
- 7:59Speaker 2: I was about 30 when he died. And if Max
- 8:03Speaker 2: could be 30 when I kick it, I'll be thrilled.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I'll be thrilled. Neil Saavedra and the morning crew here
- 8:11Speaker 2: on a lovely Friday as we shift from the hot, hot, hot, hot,
- 8:14Speaker 2: hot to some rain, rain, rain, rain, rain. It doesn't sound, Amy,
- 8:19Speaker 2: like you said this week, doesn't sound like it's going
- 8:22Speaker 2: to be torrential necessarily, but it's going to kind of
- 8:25Speaker 2: touch everybody a little bit. Yeah.
- 8:27Speaker 3: And we might see some heavy rain at times. They're
- 8:30Speaker 3: hedging their bets on this one. They're saying 50% chance.
- 8:32Speaker 3: So But they are expecting some rain at some point.
- 8:36Speaker 3: We just don't know how long it's going to last,
- 8:37Speaker 3: but probably off and on through Monday.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And gosh, I'm hoping Sunday's the one day off. And
- 8:46Speaker 2: I usually work in the shop or do something with family.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And I am so ready for a little bit of rain.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Sitting out on the back porch or the back patio.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever it is.
- 8:56Speaker 3: The sound of the rain.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I love that. We have a front porch. One of
- 8:59Speaker 2: the things we have one of those rain chains. hooked
- 9:03Speaker 2: to the gutter. And it's so lovely to see the water.
- 9:07Speaker 2: It's mesmerizing, as my young boy would say. It's mesmerizing
- 9:12Speaker 2: to just watch it and to sit out front. And
- 9:16Speaker 2: we have a little fire pit out front, too. And
- 9:18Speaker 2: you can just kind of chill and have some snacks. Oh,
- 9:23Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. So everybody stay safe if
- 9:27Speaker 2: you're in one of the areas of worry. What are
- 9:29Speaker 2: you looking at? Well, what's your problem, son?
- 9:33Speaker 3: He's just lurking.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Yeah, he's lurking. That's exactly it, Amy. Will Kohlschreiber was lurking.
- 9:39Speaker 2: And that's fine with me. It's that he does the
- 9:42Speaker 2: sound of a helicopter. That's what's weird. He comes by
- 9:45Speaker 2: and he goes, all's okay over here. I'm going down
- 9:51Speaker 2: the hallway. That's what's weird to me. All right. Personal
- 9:54Speaker 2: AI agents. We have talked to, you know, we've talked
- 9:59Speaker 2: about this on the air. We've talked about AI a
- 10:02Speaker 2: bunch of times. We kind of throw it around as,
- 10:06Speaker 2: you know. a generic term for anything that has artificial intelligence.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Of course, Rich DeMuro, we've talked about it. He likes
- 10:15Speaker 2: the personal assistants. I'm curious about them and have not
- 10:19Speaker 2: jumped there yet. I'm notoriously bad with keeping track of
- 10:22Speaker 2: my own existence. God bless my wife. I mean, knowing
- 10:26Speaker 2: where I'm supposed to be or what I need to
- 10:28Speaker 2: do or remembering things, I have the mental lifespan of
- 10:33Speaker 2: a goldfish. And, you know, that thing where you walk
- 10:37Speaker 2: into a room and don't know why you walked in there.
- 10:39Speaker 2: That's every second of my life. God forbid my son
- 10:43Speaker 2: asks me for something in between moving from one space
- 10:46Speaker 2: to another space. I will forget my name, that I'm married,
- 10:50Speaker 2: that I own a car or a house, and I
- 10:53Speaker 2: have to start from scratch. But some users of these
- 10:56Speaker 2: personal AI agents, let's be honest, they're not completely refined yet.
- 11:01Speaker 2: are experiencing strange behavior, including oversharing private data. Imagine how
- 11:07Speaker 2: many Zoom calls we're on and how many times we
- 11:12Speaker 2: get on Zoom to meet with someone. Doctors, it's not
- 11:16Speaker 2: necessarily Zoom, but doctors you're meeting on video nowadays. My
- 11:21Speaker 2: wife's a therapist and most people don't even want to
- 11:25Speaker 2: meet her in her office, just want to do it
- 11:27Speaker 2: over video, right? Well, imagine your bot agent with AI
- 11:35Speaker 2: all of a sudden pops up your personal bank account
- 11:39Speaker 2: balances while you're on a Zoom meeting. yeah and just
- 11:49Speaker 2: said everybody would feel so bad everybody would just start
- 11:52Speaker 2: going aww so maybe that's what would trigger it aww
- 11:58Speaker 2: that's so it showed the checking it showed this person's
- 12:05Speaker 2: showed the checking balance the savings balance it showed a
- 12:09Speaker 2: bunch of you know money that was going out for
- 12:13Speaker 2: a home project um And it can do things like this.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Different people are experiencing different things, even unauthorized purchases. So
- 12:26Speaker 2: you go and you buy something and then you return it. Sometimes,
- 12:30Speaker 2: like on Amazon or others, they will give you the
- 12:33Speaker 2: opportunity to get that money today if it goes into
- 12:37Speaker 2: the account as credit rather than going back onto the
- 12:41Speaker 2: card that it was issued. And So this person had
- 12:47Speaker 2: this credit at a store and it went on there
- 12:50Speaker 2: and bought like a bikini for her. It's like, you know,
- 12:54Speaker 2: if it looks good on you, I guess that's okay.
- 12:57Speaker 2: But you don't want people, you don't want this agent
- 13:03Speaker 2: to start shopping for you. But ultimately we do, right?
- 13:07Speaker 2: We just want to do it right. We want it
- 13:09Speaker 2: to know our banking so we can say, hey, move
- 13:11Speaker 2: this money or do this. We want it to be
- 13:13Speaker 2: able to go shopping to say, You know, Alexa does that. Shwamexa,
- 13:19Speaker 2: I should say, does that where it'll have a notice,
- 13:24Speaker 2: you know, the ring will glow gold or yellow or
- 13:26Speaker 2: whatever it is. And I'll ask notifications and it will go,
- 13:31Speaker 2: we see something that you've looked at before and it's
- 13:33Speaker 2: gone down in price. Would you like us to put
- 13:36Speaker 2: it in your cart or to purchase it now? And
- 13:39Speaker 2: sometimes I go, yeah, I'm moving into the cart or
- 13:41Speaker 2: I'll go, yeah, I just buy it now. Send it, okay,
- 13:44Speaker 2: purchasing now. And it works out nice. I don't have
- 13:49Speaker 2: to think about it anymore. It reminded me I'm good
- 13:51Speaker 2: to go. it does get scary when you think that
- 13:55Speaker 2: it has access to everything, but it would also be
- 13:57Speaker 2: scary to know that a human had access to everything.
- 14:00Speaker 2: You get a human person. You ever hear those stories
- 14:03Speaker 2: about these people that are nannies for the rich and
- 14:07Speaker 2: famous or, uh, their assistants for the rich and famous.
- 14:11Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, uh, they are let go
- 14:15Speaker 2: or they leave and then they write a book or
- 14:18Speaker 2: they start going on tour on television shows. I mean,
- 14:22Speaker 2: It's hard to trust anybody with a credit card. And yes,
- 14:26Speaker 2: I do go, hmm, my credit card's all over the
- 14:28Speaker 2: place with these things. But I have a very limited,
- 14:32Speaker 2: you know, the highest credit card I have? $ 15, 000. That's it.
- 14:37Speaker 2: It doesn't go above that. And that's the one credit
- 14:40Speaker 2: card I have. I don't think I have another credit
- 14:43Speaker 2: card in my name. So I'm not a big fish.
- 14:48Speaker 2: I'm not a whale. In that sense where you're going
- 14:52Speaker 2: to hit. You'd also be sad if you robbed my house.
- 14:58Speaker 2: There's nothing. My wife likes costume jewelry. We buy old cars,
- 15:06Speaker 2: used cars. Our art is weird and not worth anything,
- 15:11Speaker 2: most likely. Just weird stuff. Some Legos. That might do it.
- 15:19Speaker 2: legos but not real a lot of kits so sorry
- 15:22Speaker 2: people happy friday to you look at me i'll be
- 15:27Speaker 2: and i love you all i love all y'all you
- 15:31Speaker 2: know my friend uh is married to a texan my

- 15:43Speaker 2: just love all y'all Texan here. Can confirm. Can confirm.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Can confirm. What happened to your accent? You know, I
- 15:52Speaker 2: moved out here. I went to Boston for a while,
- 15:54Speaker 2: so I started talking like this. Yeah, that suits you.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Like a real scumbag. Nice. I like it. And now
- 16:03Speaker 2: I got the California easy breezy voice. No, it's kind
- 16:06Speaker 2: of weird in between. I'm not sure where New Clay
- 16:09Speaker 2: got landed, but it's... As soon as I talk to
- 16:13Speaker 2: my Nana, she's from Alabama. I go, oh, how y'all doing?
- 16:17Speaker 2: I'm doing, I'm doing good. That's it. I just slipped
- 16:19Speaker 2: right into it. You kind of creeped me out, son.
- 16:22Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie to you. Oh, well, I
- 16:24Speaker 2: love you too, Neil. Thanks, buddy.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:26Speaker 2: All right. Back to the show. Neil Cervadro and the
- 16:29Speaker 2: morning crew here. Happy to be with you on this
- 16:32Speaker 2: beautiful Friday as we slip into some little bit of
- 16:35Speaker 2: wet time, little bit of rainy, little bit of cool,
- 16:39Speaker 2: and I will take it. I was joking about the
- 16:42Speaker 2: callbacks because some of them, I like the smart ones.
- 16:47Speaker 2: I like the ones that are like, hey, did you
- 16:49Speaker 2: ever think of this? Or whatever someone wrote, you know,
- 16:52Speaker 2: you and I are similar. I'm the same, don't have,
- 16:54Speaker 2: you know, high credit and there's nothing in our house
- 16:57Speaker 2: to take and You know, just interesting things like this.
- 17:01Speaker 2: And some wingnut comes out of nowhere. Neil, why don't
- 17:05Speaker 2: you do us all a favor and try a little
- 17:07Speaker 2: experiment on the way home? When you see a police
- 17:09Speaker 2: officer with somebody pulled over, why don't you pull over
- 17:13Speaker 2: behind the police officer, walk up behind him and get
- 17:15Speaker 2: between him and the criminal? Either that's the long way
- 17:19Speaker 2: of saying, why don't you kill yourself? Or he thinks
- 17:24Speaker 2: I said something about cops. I'm very pro law enforcement.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Wrong guy. I'm I am anti bad law enforcement, if
- 17:34Speaker 2: that helps. But I think especially LAPD gets a bum rap.
- 17:41Speaker 2: It's a bum rap. It's very hard to do. I
- 17:44Speaker 2: like the chief of police, Jim McDonald. I think he's fair,
- 17:49Speaker 2: but firm. Certainly not a fascist or a liar in
- 17:52Speaker 2: that garbage. No, you're barking up the wrong tree. And
- 17:57Speaker 2: I have mixed feelings about ICE because of the quality
- 18:00Speaker 2: that we're throwing on some of them. But I do
- 18:02Speaker 2: not want to be in their position. And that is
- 18:05Speaker 2: a service that is necessary, believe it or not. And
- 18:09Speaker 2: every time I see the no ICE on the freeways,
- 18:11Speaker 2: you know, the people put up these makeshift billboards, say
- 18:15Speaker 2: no ICE. I think about, what is that cop show,
- 18:19Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nine-Nine? When he says, noise. That's what I see
- 18:29Speaker 2: when I see no ice. I go, noise. All right.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Back to the air we go. A lot of air stories.
- 18:39Speaker 4: Today.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Just all over the place. It's going to be, when
- 18:41Speaker 2: do Gary and Shannon do Terror in the Skies? But
- 18:48Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot. So the biggest nuisance
- 18:51Speaker 2: in the air. It all comes down to... people thinking
- 18:58Speaker 2: that the world revolves around them, right? Every discomfort we have,
- 19:03Speaker 2: I like to tell people that all crime starts with
- 19:10Speaker 2: people believing they can do no wrong. Like this is,
- 19:13Speaker 2: I deserve this. So entitlement is at the base of
- 19:17Speaker 2: all crime. I want that and I'm entitled to it.
- 19:21Speaker 2: And that goes for the ugliness of rape that goes
- 19:25Speaker 2: for stealing bubble gum that goes for breaking into someone's house,
- 19:28Speaker 2: whatever it is, it's entitlement at the core of all crime.
- 19:32Speaker 2: And we see that more and more in everyday things,
- 19:36Speaker 2: which is bad because it pushes our standards and airplanes
- 19:41Speaker 2: are the worst people that take off their shoes and
- 19:44Speaker 2: then put their feet up on your armrest. Like, what's that?
- 19:49Speaker 2: Who said that's okay? Who says that's okay? And now
- 19:56Speaker 2: the biggest thing on flights, the latest nuisance to be airborne,
- 20:02Speaker 2: Zoom calls at 30,000 feet. The more and more tech changes,
- 20:09Speaker 2: the more ability we have to have really good connection
- 20:14Speaker 2: speeds in the air. Now, I see FaceTime with loved
- 20:18Speaker 2: ones all the time. They're holding the phone out in
- 20:22Speaker 2: front of them, and you see them, and you see
- 20:25Speaker 2: their friend, and they see you. All of that. It's
- 20:29Speaker 2: becoming more and more. Zooms, work, FaceTimes with loved ones,
- 20:37Speaker 2: even defying crew instructions. Nobody cares. They just do whatever
- 20:43Speaker 2: they want. So having connection that's fast enough to actually
- 20:47Speaker 2: work and do all kinds of stuff, people are like,
- 20:50Speaker 2: this is great. But I think if you're going to
- 20:54Speaker 2: do that stuff, they should, in business class, they should
- 20:58Speaker 2: have little barriers or something. Little soundproof booths, maybe airproof too,
- 21:04Speaker 2: or medically sealed booths. So, yeah, you can do your Zoom.
- 21:10Speaker 2: You have three and a half minutes before all oxygen
- 21:12Speaker 2: is gone. I guess I like it better than the porn.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Have you ever sat behind somebody who's watching porn on
- 21:19Speaker 2: their phone? Yep. On a plane? More than one occasion.
- 21:24Speaker 2: More than one occasion. It's a dude. I mean, nobody's going, what?
- 21:31Speaker 2: But a dude watching porn. One time, I saw two
- 21:35Speaker 2: guys next to each other watching porn. Porn. Different porn. Why?
- 21:42Speaker 2: Because they're into different things, I guess. One guy goes
- 21:44Speaker 2: into feet. Oh, why were they watching porn? I thought
- 21:47Speaker 2: you were asking why are they watching something different? Because
- 21:50Speaker 2: it'd just be weird if you were watching the same one.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I know, but why are they watching it? Get a
- 21:55Speaker 2: load of that one. Oh, she's bendy. That's how I
- 21:59Speaker 2: feel watching The Sopranos on my phone. Sometimes those scenes,
- 22:03Speaker 2: you don't know what's coming. I haven't seen the show.
- 22:05Speaker 2: You download an episode. You get on the plane. It's like, oh, no. Yeah,
- 22:10Speaker 2: it could be gabagoo. Could be a gabaguy. And you've got,
- 22:16Speaker 2: let's see, someone you don't necessarily get to hear from.
- 22:23Speaker 2: You know who that is? That's Tim Conway Jr.
- 22:26Speaker 1: 's vape. Hello, everybody.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Hello, everybody. I'm CJ's fave. He left it here. Will,
- 22:38Speaker 2: Cole Schreiber has some news going on on one of
- 22:42Speaker 2: the major freeways. What's going on, Will?
- 22:44Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's really bad news, but I just
- 22:46Speaker 4: want to steer you away from the 110 freeway. Didn't
- 22:50Speaker 4: quite catch it in time for the last report, but
- 22:52Speaker 4: the northbound 110 is completely shut down in downtown L.A.
- 22:56Speaker 2: At 5th Street.
- 22:57Speaker 4: It's going to be that way for a while. It
- 22:58Speaker 4: looks like someone has jumped from an overpass there.
- 23:02Speaker 2: They actually jumped?
- 23:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 4: And I don't know their condition, but it's probably not good.
- 23:06Speaker 4: It's right around 5th Street, 6th Street, northbound side of
- 23:09Speaker 4: the 110. So the freeway is completely closed and you're
- 23:13Speaker 4: jammed up back from, well, out of South LA. So
- 23:17Speaker 4: avoid that 110 freeway. And we always say whenever a
- 23:20Speaker 4: story like this crosses, if it If it hurts you
- 23:25Speaker 4: and you need someone to talk to, there's always, you know, 988.
- 23:29Speaker 4: We always talk about that hotline, 988, because, well, you
- 23:34Speaker 4: can probably address this more than anyone. This is an
- 23:37Speaker 4: unfortunate story.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Yeah. So Will came in here and said, hey, we
- 23:42Speaker 2: might have a jumper that hasn't jumped yet. Um, and
- 23:47Speaker 2: so I said, we'll go straight to you. But at
- 23:50Speaker 2: that point, as I said, there, the jumper had not fallen, uh, uh,
- 23:55Speaker 2: had not gone through with it. Now, um, it sounds
- 23:58Speaker 2: like they have. Give the area again, please, Will.
- 24:02Speaker 4: 110 northbound, right there at 6th Street. It looks like
- 24:05Speaker 4: the southbound side is fully moving, but there's huge delays
- 24:11Speaker 4: with people looking over to see all the activity. So
- 24:13Speaker 4: that's all jammed up out of near Dodger Stadium.
- 24:17Speaker 2: That's rough. Again, 988. If you need someone to talk
- 24:21Speaker 2: to or going through things, that's it, I guess. And
- 24:26Speaker 2: to those... Oh, the wingnuts are out. How I haven't
- 24:32Speaker 2: I heard you comment on the assaults, rocks being thrown
- 24:35Speaker 2: at ICE. Let me make this clear. I am against
- 24:40Speaker 2: throwing things at law enforcement, including federal agents. I was
- 24:46Speaker 2: pissed and furious when I saw the vehicles driving, the
- 24:50Speaker 2: unmarked vehicles driving by and that idiot. throwing pieces of
- 24:56Speaker 2: concrete and rocks. They have since caught him, is my understanding.
- 25:00Speaker 2: And yes, I think they should lean on him with
- 25:03Speaker 2: the full extent of the law. I don't know how
- 25:06Speaker 2: to get any clearer. I'm a real law and order guy. Sorry.
- 25:09Speaker 2: I think you can't have, I think you need to
- 25:13Speaker 2: protect your borders and I think you need to have
- 25:14Speaker 2: law and order to have a society of any value.
- 25:18Speaker 2: I hope that clears things up. Not a fan of
- 25:22Speaker 2: the DSA people, not a fan of the socialists of
- 25:25Speaker 2: America wanting to get rid of cops, not a fan
- 25:28Speaker 2: of people calling cops fascists and all that stuff. There
- 25:34Speaker 2: might be some, but I think we can weed them out.
- 25:37Speaker 2: All right, nothing worse than going up in an airplane
- 25:41Speaker 2: and back in the day in the 70s, it became,
- 25:43Speaker 2: we had all those hijacks, hijackings. Then of course, 9-11
- 25:47Speaker 2: we had, which was horrific. More and more, they're looking
- 25:53Speaker 2: at one of the biggest issues and threats to airline safety, pilots.
- 26:01Speaker 2: At least 800 people globally have died since 2005 in
- 26:06Speaker 2: airline crashes suspected or confirmed to be intentionally caused by
- 26:11Speaker 2: a pilot. You know how sad it is that we
- 26:15Speaker 2: just got done talking with Will Kohlschreiber about a jumper. Obviously,
- 26:20Speaker 2: someone wanting to end their life. And that's sad to
- 26:24Speaker 2: think somebody so dire and then they do that. But
- 26:27Speaker 2: you think the same thing if you're a pilot and
- 26:29Speaker 2: you've got 150 people or so on your plane. And
- 26:34Speaker 2: then recently you have this is ideological where the fly
- 26:39Speaker 2: Dubai flight that was bound for Israel puts that back
- 26:43Speaker 2: into the public light. And Boeing has privately discussed intentional
- 26:51Speaker 2: crashes as the leading source of fatalities and has considered
- 26:57Speaker 2: the risk as it designs the next generation of plane.
- 27:02Speaker 2: And what is that going to be? Is there going
- 27:04Speaker 2: to be some mode that you could put the plane into?
- 27:07Speaker 2: I mean, our technology is going to get better. And
- 27:10Speaker 2: with AI, you might come to a day where they
- 27:14Speaker 2: don't go, is there a pilot in here? They just say,
- 27:16Speaker 2: is there anybody willing to step into the cockpit and
- 27:19Speaker 2: they're able to land it? You know, something like that.
- 27:24Speaker 2: But you are, all of us are, I try not
- 27:27Speaker 2: to think about it when I'm flying with my family,
- 27:30Speaker 2: but yeah, you're putting your life in the hands of
- 27:34Speaker 2: someone else. Anytime you get into a taxi or you
- 27:36Speaker 2: get into something, it's driven or flown by someone else. And,
- 27:44Speaker 2: you know, you kind of do want to go up
- 27:46Speaker 2: to them. Hey, I just want to meet the captain.
- 27:48Speaker 2: How you doing, buddy? Good, good, good week. Everything's going
- 27:51Speaker 2: well with the wife and the kids. No downers, no whammies.
- 27:57Speaker 2: All good. I just want to know before we go on.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Here's a Snickers bar if you get tired, champ. Love you.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Mean it. Someone cares about you.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I see you.
- 28:10Speaker 2: But it is scary that that's becoming the leading concern
- 28:15Speaker 2: when it comes to flight. And that has been the
