  Speaker 1: You know, it takes... We don't normally do a lot
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of behind the scenes. It takes 153 people to get
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Handel up, dressed, and on the air. So when he

  Speaker 1: goes off on his own, it makes us all nervous.

• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah. Clay always has a smirk on
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: his face. Like he's going to say something completely. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: can't say the word, but. I've always got a little secret. Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It does. Like if I saw that face on my
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: kid in the corner, I'd go, oh, man, he's building
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: something with Legos that's going to explode. It just has
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that vibe. All right. So the gang's all here. Neil
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Saavedra with you. And we got a lot to get to.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: A couple of great guests as well. So basically what
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is go nowhere. You know, just stay with us.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We're going to hang out. I'll pronounce my name properly.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It'll be easy peasy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Wait, is that an issue?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: No, with Handel it is. Oh. I'm Bill Hamblin. K-A-B-C.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Handel on the limb long. It just, you know, Malaprops
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: is his start off point. That's fine. All right. Handel
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: on the news. Lead story.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Such a hacker and he just won't die. All right.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So the Pentagon, the Pentagon has a breach. It exposed
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of sensitive data. And you know what that means?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Millions and millions of people's information goes everywhere. About three
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: million at this point. This is a breach that is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: just going all over the personal databases. So all of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: their personnel got exposed to sensitive information belonging to a massive,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: massive swath of people. military personnel so when you think
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of the pentagon it's not like um i don't know
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a bank or something where people's you know the people
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that work there the tellers their information these are military
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this is uh all kinds of information including social security
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: numbers details about the jobs they hold um so a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: lot of people a lot of information um some were
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: living and then some are deceased. So some of the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: information was post-mortem info.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Well, the Pentagon's not the only one that got hacked.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: The FBI, of course, got hacked too. We told you
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: about this. Yeah, the hacking group Shiny Hunters got into
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: FBI's databases, potentially involving tens of thousands of former and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: current FBI employees, including our very own Brad Garrett that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: we talked to on Wake Up Call from time to time.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: His information got out there? Yeah. Wow. We know that specifically, huh?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: That sucks.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Well, just because he said. Details about the personnel from
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the agency's job portal. It's threatening to leak them online,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: so they haven't leaked the information yet, but Shiny Hunters
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: is threatening to. They have things like home addresses, social
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: security numbers, secretive job assignments, and more, according to the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: New York Times.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Isn't that just an act of war? I mean, why?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I've never understood how in these, we call some things
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: terrorism and then other things not. And I see things
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: like this and I go, boom, go just balls out,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: tear everything up till you find them. And, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: like gopher holes, just fill them with water.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Flush them out.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever you have to do. Why is it that our...
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Because that's national security information at that point.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I would imagine the FBI is on it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: They're having to deal with their information leaking right now.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Which would... I would think that that would motivate them.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And if it's coming from a country... that we can
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: tell that it's coming from a country, then that country
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: is under war with us until they smoke them out.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Just the most pressure possible. All right. Supreme Court Justice
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Samuel Alito will recuse himself, and this is from a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: major climate change case involving Suncor Energy and Exxon Mobil. He,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you know, is going to move himself off of this case,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: kind of an about face for this particular conservative justice.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He resisted calls earlier this year to recuse himself over
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the energy stock ownership. Anytime we see these in movies
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and television, anytime that they have some tie of some
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: kind to something, they're supposed to step away because you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: have in this case would be a financial tie. So
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this means that only eight justices will hear the dispute
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: about whether this local government can sue fossil fuel companies
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: over damages they say are caused by climate change. But
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: don't you have to be able to draw a direct tie?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, how you get climate change, you're going to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: draw a direct tie to a particular company. Just because
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of pollution? I've said this before. One wildfire can set
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: everything we've done in America back 20 years.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Or a volcanic explosion.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Volcanic, that's a little bit of a misnomer. Volcanic explosions
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: are not as bad.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: You didn't live through Mount St. Helens.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I did. I was alive. I even probably still
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: have a little canister filled with it somewhere. Remember when
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you'd get ash?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: When they were selling ash?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was before. Yeah, that was before. Nice ash.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: That was before the interwebs. So you had to like
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: mail order that or know somebody who lived out there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: but yeah that that was bad but if you if
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you do you know a little little bit of homework
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on volcanoes they're not as bad as people have said
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: really the fires are worse.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Tell that to pompey.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Well what are you gonna do those people are all
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: sleeping look at them lazy Oh, the Karens are out
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: this morning already on the talkback. I don't know what
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: it is, Amy King, but when I call you by
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: your handle, the handle that you have on the interwebs,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: your social media handle is Amy. On the gram. Yeah,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: on the gram. Amy K. King.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's other Amy Kings out there. Can you
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: believe that?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it freaks some people out and they don't
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: know what to do. And I've got to imagine these
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: are the people that put out their coffee and tea
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: at night before and everything's set up.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, I put up my coffee and tea the night before. Yeah? Yeah. Okay.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Make the coffee, turn on the timer.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: All of it. All of it. Sorry.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: You're calling me a Karen.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Well... Is that what the K stands for? K actually
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: stands for K. K-A-Y.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: K-A-Y, yes.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Which is my mom's nickname. We call her K.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: But it's Kathleen.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So people are learning.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: It's my mom's middle name, too.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Look at that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And she's a Karen.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well. I'm just telling you, it cracks me up.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Don't call her that. It's so inside. Is it really
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that inside?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: You know what? You know why it's not inside? I mean,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Because you use it?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Well, but I don't go by Amy K. King on
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the air. But it's not in my circle because I
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: have three Amy's.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, I know. You collect Amy's like I do Star
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Wars stuff. Yes.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: My best friend is Amy. And then another best friend
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: from high school. She's also Amy. And so... sometimes it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: amy k or amy ruth or amy sue because you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: have to differentiate them.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Amy sue amy sue it's not make her own butter
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: is that a no it's just amy sue she's out
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: there making her own butter beating the cows amy sue

  Speaker 1: sounds a little hickey that's what i'm saying did you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: hear that Amy. No, all your Amy's are lovely. Every
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: single one of your Amy's are lovely. All right. Sorry
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for the little sidetrack. Neil's fader in the morning crew.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to handle the news. Shall we go
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: with Amy K. King and me, Neil Edwin.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Garden Grove residents are saying, uh, not so fast. Remember
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: four months ago, there was this toxic gas leak and
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: they thought that maybe this storage container was going to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: explode at the GKN aerospace facility in Garden Grove. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: over Memorial Day weekend, all those people, about 50,000 people
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: had to evacuate from their homes. Well, now GKN is
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: saying that it's planning a gradual return to operations. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: some people in the area are saying, yeah, no, they
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: want stronger oversight before operations can resume at the facility.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: GKN says, Says that it's going to move forward and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: will be subject to all necessary permits and is working
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: with relevant officials and experts to make sure they do
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: things safely.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Listening to Amy this morning on wake up call, I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: heard you doing an interview with a former FBI head
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of the FBI, I think.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Special agent in charge.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's kind of a weird. They're all special agents.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Well, he was in charge. Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: But depending on it's a weird thing. Anyways, the release
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of those terrorist plot suspects there at the base in UK.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And what a strange thing that they were let go.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And he gave a list of probable reasons that it
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: could be, including the most improbable one at the end,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: which it was like, oh, they were just regular guys.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Just a couple of schmoes out there with trucks.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were guys all wearing hoodies, all with trucks
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: blocking a roadway in the middle of the night.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like a dry run, honestly. It sounds
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: like from what they and he was speculating, and I
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: thought this was quite smart, that if you're already observing
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: them or they're on your radar in some way, shape
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: or form and. They go on the move and it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: has the telltale signs of the telltale signs of something
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: going down. Well, then, you know, you got to go in.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: You're not going to wait until something happens. And and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that sounds like it might be the case. But you'd
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: think when it comes to terrorism, you don't need any
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: excuses to hold them.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, that was the interesting thing. They arrested these
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: five people. And apparently British law, obviously different than ours,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: they could hold them for 14 days, but they're not.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: They did release them, but they're being monitored. So like
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: they're watching where they're going. They're watching, maybe even listening
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: in on their cell phones, that kind of thing.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they know that at this point. It's not
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: like they're. So what are you going to do? You're
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: not going to do your regular comms and interactions.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's go call our terrorist buddy now that we're out. Right.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, generic white person name so people don't get offended
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: on the radio right now. I could just say Mo. What?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Just say Mo. Short for Mohammed. But, you know, but
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: if you say Mo, it could be anything.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. So I'm curious, how was this case closed
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: in the first place? New York State prosecutors have reopened
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: an investigation into an alleged rape case at Cornell University.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: It happened in 2024 after a civil lawsuit filed earlier
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: this month drew national attention. So they never went after
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: criminal charges, apparently. Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten put
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: out a lengthy statement trying to explain why his office
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: hadn't gone after charges before. And he said that in
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the original complaint... It did not allege in a sworn
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: statement to police in 2024 that the woman known as
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Jane Doe was drugged against her will or gang raped.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: On the contrary, Jane Doe's statement described her participation in
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious and consensual.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: What?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: That's what he says her statement said, but then he
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: also said he recognized the reality. that it can take
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: years of therapy and healing for victims of sexual assaults
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to fully process and understand what happened to them. So
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: now they're going to see if she was in fact
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: gang raped.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Amy, this story, before we get back to handle on
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the news, this story that is unfolding about the dead
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: baby being found in South L.A. in a dumpster unfolding
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: is just crazy. Talking with Producer Anne about a grandmother
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: who has called into the station or is there, not
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: our station, but the television station, who's there out in
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: front of the area saying that it might be her grandbaby.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Holy smokes.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she wants to see the baby because she thinks
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: it's her granddaughter.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And she has talked with her daughter who said that, no,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the baby's sleeping.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is being very vague about where the baby is.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: And now they can't get ahold of the daughter. It's
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: really crazy.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: The baby was about four to six months old and they're,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: they're saying it wasn't gang related and they're saying that
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the baby wasn't homeless. So I think that they know
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: who it is.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: But they're, they're investigating it as a homicide, right? Yes. Wow.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Just a crazy story and sad. You know, we all
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: know and, We've been told over and over in California,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you can take a baby, no questions asked, and leave
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it at certain locations like fire departments and the like.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Well, we just had that story yesterday about a newborn
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: who was found next to a dumpster last May. And
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: they just arrested the mom last week, like a year later.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: But the baby was found and survived, but found just newborn,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: still had her umbilical cord attached.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So, yes, those safe surrender programs are so important.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't speak, obviously, as a man to the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: fear and what a woman would be going through in
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: a situation of an unwanted pregnancy or, you know, God forbid,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a rape or incest situation. I have no idea and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: won't even begin to try and speculate. But knowing that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: there is a place that you can go and take
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the baby. certainly you would hope that people would take
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: that option. But if as we find out more, we'll
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: definitely bring it to you. But what a crazy, absolutely
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: crazy story and a sad one, of course.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Back to handle on the news. We go. Neil Saavedra
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: with Amy King, Tennessee. Executing a lady first time in
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: 200 years after the governor denies clemency, which is obviously
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: not something that happens all the time. You've got lawyers.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: For Krista Pike, 50 years old, convicted of killing classmate,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a classmate in Knoxville in 1995. She asked the Supreme
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Court to grant stay or the lawyer did, and she
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: was convicted of murder 30 years ago. You know, we
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: got to move that along. By not doing that, it
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: screams that our system just sucks. It's like if you
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: don't believe that you've dotted every I and crossed every
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: T in justice and the system, then why have it?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: If you think that you're getting them wrong more than
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you're getting them right, then it just seems like something–
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but we still think of women as, oh, wow,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a woman's being executed. Female crimes seem to be on
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the rise to me. Why are you looking at me?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Because the next story is yours. Oh, OK.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: A successful explosion. That's what SpaceX is saying after its
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Starship blew up. But before that, the Starship, that massive rocket,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: it's like 40 stories tall. launched from SpaceX's Starbase in Texas.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It was the company's first try at getting the rocket
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: into orbit. They had trouble with an engine, but said, nope,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: we're still going to go. Up into orbit it went.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: It unloaded a bunch of Starlink satellites. And then SpaceX said,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: we're going to end this one early. It was supposed
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to be up there for 10 hours and do six orbits,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: but it came back after just three hours and splashed
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: down in the Pacific Ocean right around 11 a.m., Central time,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: 12 Eastern, 9 o'clock hour time, and it promptly exploded.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: But they say, hey, it moves the program forward.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Spaceflight, you'd think that you'd have it polished 50
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: some odd years, you know, going on 60 years of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: landing on the moon.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: But this is a new rocket.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we are learning so much all the time
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and efficiencies and differences. And, you know, but that's one
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: of the arguments for us not landing on the moon
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is people say, look, we don't even have the technology
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to do it today properly. It's like, no, we're this
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: is new technology we're using. And we were duct tape
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and popsicle sticks getting those men on the moon.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Our phones have more computer in them than the computers
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: they had on the moon for that mission. Oh, yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: It's impressive how far we've come, actually. All right. The
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: education department announced yesterday, formally rescinding the Biden era Title
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: IX interpretation that gave sex based discrimination protections to students
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and the like.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So schools now must go back to the Title IX
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: code that it was held. under the previous Trump administration
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: in 2020, which the department says will protect women's sports.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: So thanks to this action, they said the published Title
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: IX regulations faithfully reflect court orders and congressional intent, reducing
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: confusion for parents, students, and educational institutions. We will continue
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to relentlessly champion equal opportunity for all Americans and hold
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: accountable Any school or college that violates the rights, privacy
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: or athletic opportunities of our women and girls. So says
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the education secretary, Linda McMahon. Amy King and I going
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: back to handle on the news. We shall go. Oh, Amy.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: You think your relationship with the in-laws is bad? This
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: one turned deadly.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I like my in-laws. And they've never tried to shoot me.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Well, there's that. A 40-year-old New York Times executive was
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: shot and killed by his in-laws, allegedly, in a parking lot.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: It happened in Dublin, California. The shooting happened amid a
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: bitter divorce between Jonathan McKenzie and his wife, Candace, who
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: was McKenzie was facing a child abuse case. They had
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: sought restraining orders against each other and made several allegations
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of abuse against each other in court. After the shooting,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: there was a bunch of witnesses around. It happened at
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: a sports complex. His body was found in the parking lot.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And fairly crowded at the time, too.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Fairly crowded. Lots of people were calling into 911 saying, hey,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: somebody's been shot. Cops got there and then arrested the in-laws.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Is it true that they took turns shooting? Did you
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: hear that?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I did not hear that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. That apparently they both took shots. and I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: was like, that's a, that's a lot of anger in there.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but there, the, the thought, if
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: you're handing it back and forth in multiple shots, um.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: There is, there might be a little premeditation there.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but there, there's much information that continues to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: leak out as to whether there was possibly some abuse,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: maybe to the children, maybe to the, the wife, um,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: It's a strange story. And then was there something about
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the guy being in transition as well? Did you hear
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: any of that?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I'm telling you, another weird story to me.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to do a little deep dive
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: when we're not doing etymology in the breaks. We'll look
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: into that. All right. That makes me.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Think of bugs and? Entenmann's Coffee Cakes.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, Entenmann's. Entenmann'sology, the study of Entenmann's Cakes.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I would like to study some cakes.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Their chocolate donuts.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Forget about it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, did you hear about Krispy Kreme's coffee-flavored donuts for
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Coffee Day?
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: No. Yeah. Do tell. When's Coffee Day?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Is it really?
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Krispy Kreme has a special coffee-flavored glazed donut.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Mmm.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Mmm.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Delivery, next segment. Los Angeles County has confirmed 69 rabid
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: bats this year, matching last year's record and, of course,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: prompting public health officials today, urging residents to take precautions
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: as peak bat season continues. It's one of my favorite
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: things about driving around in Big Bear at dusk is
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: all the bats come out.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Like big flocks of them?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they look like small, stupid birds. They're very cool.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: They fly stupid because they're flying on radar and stuff
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: They're flying blind.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Sonar or whatever they got. Yeah, they're flying blind, but
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: they fly stupid. So if you see stupid-looking birds flying
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: around at dusk, they're bats. And I've had a bat
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: swoop down and hit me in the head as a
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: kid back when I had hair. Very stupid. Very intimidating
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to say the least.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I hate that they carry rapids because they're really cool animals.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: They're gorgeous. I have a friend in South Africa and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: she rescues them. She rescues bats and protects them and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: nurses them back.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Here's the weird thing about this story. They said a
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: lot of bat encounters. They said the majority of them
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: are in the Santa Clarita Valley this year. Oh, wow.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: They're also in downtown. They found them in parks. They
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: found them in backyards, kind of all over the place.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: But they say that one third of bat encounters happen indoors.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: What? I have a vague recollection, and I'll have to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: ask him when he comes in, Gary and Shannon, obviously,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: coming up after nine. I have a vague recollection that
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Gary Hoffman and his wife had an encounter in their home.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I had an encounter in my home.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: With a bat?
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Here? The one house here or in Oregon?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: It was in Oregon. I had a cat who liked
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: to bring me presents.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: And one night she was up on the roof and
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I heard this. I was like, what the heck is
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: she doing on the roof? And she showed up a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: couple minutes later with a bat in her mouth. And
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: it was trying to fly in my apartment.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Good kitty. Yeah. But the fact that they have rabies
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: or can have rabies, if you come in contact, you
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: should get rabies shots.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Because it's like fatal if you just let it go.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, there was a story of
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: somebody who had gotten sick and died, and then it
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: was a donor, an organ donor, and then the person
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: who received the organ died from rabies because they didn't
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: know that the guy died originally of rabies and it
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: passed on in the blood in the organs. I know, nuts.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: No.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: As a kidney recipient, you're like, yeah, I'm alive. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: got a kidney. Oh, I'm dead. They had rabies. All right.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: One more.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Kroger is hoping 24-7 means good business. So Kroger,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: which operates here as Ralph's, used to be open 24-7,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: but they closed down overnight. during COVID. So they had
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: more time to restock and all that stuff and get
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: ready and spend more time with family, apparently. But they're
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: saying that their growth is very slow and it's slowing
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: down even more. And so they're looking to reopen stores
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and have them open 24-7. They're going to test it out.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: First in Cincinnati and then some other locations in Indiana
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: before they decide whether to roll it out.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: That's the last thing I'd want to do out here.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Last time I went to a grocery store in person,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, but four different shoplifters
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: stealing blatantly, just shoving stuff into backpacks, pockets and stuff.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: It was insane.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Where was that?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: That's in our area. Follow the wave, Neil. Yeah. I've
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: grown out of those days, New Clay. But, yeah, it
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: was so disappointing and so frustrating, and security was on
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: their phone and just nothing. Okay, last, just because you
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: need to hear this, there's a gaboon viper home to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the tropics of Central and West Africa that is in
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Southern California in Santana in Santa Ana, and the police
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: department is issuing a public advisory. Do not approach or
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: handle this snake. That's it. We'll be back. This is
