• 1:18
  Speaker 1: me of something. We've got something for you on the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Space Shuttle Endeavor exhibit. That's coming up a little bit
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: later on Wake Up Call. And waking up could be
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a challenge in the halls of KFI this morning because
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: our coffee maker is broken again today.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: I'm so glad I brought my own.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: I got an.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Email from the office manager and he said, yeah, they're
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: coming maybe to fix it. So it's me to the rescue.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I brought Starbucks Via.
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: Nice.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Annie, don't give me that look. Producer Anne, I'm helping you.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: Instant?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the Instant Starbucks. Better than nothing. You don't
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: have to have it. I'll have it. I brought it
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for me, too. But everybody in the building is welcome
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to it. There's like three of us. And guess what
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: today is? Ten days till Halloween. And it's cool enough
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: again that I'm getting to wear one of my Disney
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Spirit jerseys, so I'm very happy about that. Here's what's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: ahead on Wake Up Call. The rain's coming. Ooh, this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: music is good for that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, creepy.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Rain's expected to start later today and last through tomorrow.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: A flood watch has been issued for today through tomorrow
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: afternoon in the Malibu and Santa Monica Mountains. Forecasters say
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: most parts of L.A. County are going to see about
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: an inch and a half of rain with two to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: three inches possible in the foothills and mountains. Southbound lanes
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of PCH expected to be closed between Newport Beach and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Laguna Beach as Caltrans works to stabilize the slope under
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the highway that's been pounded by powerful surf for weeks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Last week, a large crack formed in a coastal bluff
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: supporting the highway near Crystal Cove State Park, prompting the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: closure of one southbound lane in that area. Caltrans says
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: significant delays are anticipated. American Stephen Hubbard has been released
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: from a Russian prison. Trump's top envoy for negotiations, Steve Witkoff,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: visited Moscow to work on securing Hubbard's release. He was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: picked up in Ukraine in 2022 and accused of being
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a mercenary fighting for Ukraine. We're going to find out
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the latest on that and whether more negotiations are on
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to get more Americans home with ABC's Shannon Kingston. That's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: coming up in just a couple of minutes. The host
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of Rich on Tech on KFI, Rich DeMuro, got his
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: hands on one of those new foldable iPhones. what he loves,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: what he doesn't love, and whether it's worth the $ 2, 000
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: price tag. That's coming up at 5.20. And Amy's on it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a blockbuster, but was it
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: just a bust? I'll disclose that to you. Coming up
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a little later on Wake Up Call. Let's get started
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. City officials in Long Beach are encouraging residents
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to prepare for this storm, expected to bring moderate rainfall,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: maybe thunderstorms and coastal flooding. Low-lying neighborhoods along the waterfront
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: are especially at risk. The city has opened sandbag distribution
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: sites and says an emergency shelter for homeless people will
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: operate during the storm. Public works crews have inspected and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: cleared storm drains in flood-prone areas. They've checked pump stations
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and seawall plugs and reinforced protective sand berms along vulnerable
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: stretches of beach. The mayor of Newport Beach says the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: city's local emergency declaration is part of an effort to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: help residents and businesses be ready for potential flooding from
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the king tides that are expected next week. Mayor Lauren
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Kleiman tells KFI the city's doing all it can to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: be prepared for El Nino conditions.
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: Again, we want to make sure we are taking steps
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: to protect the community for... these upcoming months that we
• 4:58
  Speaker 9: know we're going to experience these king tides.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Kleiman says as part of the preparations, the city has
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a robust sand management and replenishment plan to fend off
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: potential coastal erosion. Nick Reiner, who's charged with murdering his parents,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Rob and Michelle Reiners, due in court in L.A. today.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: A judge is expected to consider setting a date for
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: another hearing on a defense motion. To keep grand jury
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: transcripts and exhibits sealed, they argue it would preserve Nick
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Reiner's right to a fair trial. The judge has ordered
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the grand jury transcripts to remain conditionally sealed pending a hearing.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: How best to deal with homelessness in L.A. is an
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: issue Mayor Bass has again addressed in the L.A. Mayor's Race.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Appearing in studio on KFI's John Kobel show last night,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Bass made it clear that she knows the system is
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: broken and needs to be fixed. I had no way
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: of knowing until I was able to drill down on LASA,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: which is why I came to the conclusion that the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: system is dysfunctional. It needs to be turned over on
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: its head. Bass says the city should take over homelessness
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: completely because the shared jurisdiction with L.A. County is is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons for the dysfunction. Let's say good
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: morning now to ABC's Shannon Kingston. So, Shannon, we were
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: planning to talk to you about negotiations coming up and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: whether the release of Stephen Hubbard was a possibility, but
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we just got word early this morning that he has
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: been released after spending four years in a Russian prison.
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: That's right. Stephen Hubbard is an American citizen and a
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: former teacher. He was captured in Ukraine by Russian forces
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: and accused of being a mercenary. And the State Department
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: says those are trumped up charges. But nevertheless, he was
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: held in very severe conditions in Russia for years. years
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: as the U.S. has been trying to secure his freedom.
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: He was designated as wrongfully detained in January of 2025.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: And here in St. Petersburg, at the top of Vladimir
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: Putin's meeting with Trump's special envoy, Steve Woodcock, he announced
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: that Hubbard will be finally able to come home. And
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: this is seen as a goodwill gesture, something to get
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: this meeting with Woodcock started at the right foot.
• 7:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And Shannon, you mentioned that he was held in very
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: rough conditions. I've heard that there was possible torture involved.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Have we seen him yet?
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: We have not seen him yet. Putin did say that
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: he is at the airport now that Witkoff will be
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: flying out of. So presumably Witkoff will meet him on
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: the tarmac there, will take him out of the country
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: in his plane. But the officials I've talked to this morning,
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: they're still very much setting up the traditional mechanisms for
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: reintroducing hostages and detainees to the U.S. Typically, they're flown
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: to a facility in Texas. where they receive treatment, both
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: physical and psychological, as necessary before they make that final
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: leg of their trip back to their home, to their
• 8:02
  Speaker 10: family for the long term. So they're still seeing, assessing
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: what's going to be necessary here.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Okay. And in this negotiation, do we know, did we
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: get anything? Or did we have to give anything specific
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: or do we know yet?
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: Well, President Trump has said that this was not the
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: result of a prisoner swap, that this was a unilateral
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: decision by Russia. But Trump and the White House have
• 8:27
  Speaker 10: pretty heavily implied that Trump's recent decisions on sanctions as
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: they pertain to Russia were made to try to get
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: to this outcome. And there are plenty of critics out
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: there who will say that, Yes, it is a difficult
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: decision to let a prisoner, someone who the U.S. believes
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: should be behind bars, walk free in one of these exchanges.
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: But it is a bigger thing entirely to make these
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: consequential geopolitical decisions as part of a prisoner exchange. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: it's something that could potentially encourage other bad actors, governments
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: that are opportunistic to try to capture Americans and use
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: them as trade bait.
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But at this point, no sanctions have been lifted.
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: Well, President Trump did waive sanctions to secure his diesel
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: export deal. And he also temporarily at least staved off
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: sanctions that were required under the recently signed into law
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: act named after late Senator Lindsey Graham, as well as
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: tariffs that would have taken effect this week.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: So he put those sanctions on hold?
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: They are on hold. President Trump has said that he
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: could bring them back, but it's unclear if he'd be
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: willing to do that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. And then with the ongoing tension between President Trump
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and Ukrainian President Zelensky, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: with Zelensky yesterday. What was that about?
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: Well, he did speak with Zelensky on the phone. Rubio
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: was on a tour through Central Asia and India. So
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: he took time from that trip to talk to Zelensky
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: for about 45 minutes. Sources tell us that Rubio initiated
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: a phone call, that it was a friendly conversation. It
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: was not at all a dressing down, but it seemed
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: that Rubio wanted to take the opportunity to explain some
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: of his recent comments, things that Rubio says have been misreported.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: I'd try to cut through some of that noise.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: OK.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: ABC's Shannon Kingston, thank you so much for the information
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and the update. I'm just happy to hear that Stephen
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Hubbard is coming home.
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: Absolutely. Happy ending there.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks so much. Let's get back to some
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Democrats say they're starting to get some traction in traditional
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: red states. ABC's Olivia Rubin says Iowa and Texas are
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: on the Dems hit list.
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: The question now is going to be, will Democrats have
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: enough to get them over the line?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Of course, in states like Texas, we have seen Democrat
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: optimism before, but previously they have come up short.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: She says in more states, Democrat candidates look to be
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in tight races with Republican incumbents. The Trump administration has
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: announced plans to pay U.S. citizens to help expose fraud.
• 11:09
  Speaker 12: The $ 25 million fraud tip program will give people up
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: to $ 30, 000 if information they report leads to a fraud-related
• 11:17
  Speaker 12: conviction or significant federal enforcement action. The White House said
• 11:22
  Speaker 12: President Trump's task force to eliminate fraud works every day
• 11:25
  Speaker 12: to combat the rampant abuse of taxpayer dollars and to
• 11:27
  Speaker 12: give Americans the accountability they deserve. The president presented independent
• 11:31
  Speaker 12: journalist Nick Shirley with $ 10, 000 for his reporting on alleged
• 11:35
  Speaker 12: fraud in Minnesota, as officials said his videos led to
• 11:39
  Speaker 12: arrests and charges. Debra Mark, KFI News.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: A new analysis of global weather patterns showed giant heat
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: storms are burning Earth. An examination of world temperatures by
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Reuters finds supersized heat waves aren't rare anymore, and now
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: what are called heat storms are swarming the planet. Data
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: shows heat waves have evolved over the last 60 years
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: into massive cascading weather events that can cover large swaths
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of the planet for a month at a time. The
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: popular music streaming service Spotify is moving to limit the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: reach of AI-generated music, ABC's Mike Dubosky says Spotify is
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: removing 50 million songs from its recommendation algorithm to reduce
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the proliferation of what it calls AI slop and spam tracks.
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: The move means those AI songs will no longer be
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: recommended to Spotify listeners.
• 12:29
  Speaker 13: However, the flag songs aren't disappearing from Spotify either.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Listeners can still find the AI music by searching for it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And a colorful comedian has returned to the stage after
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: trying to cancel his own show.
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: Comedian Carrot Top has performed for the first time since
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: his suicide attempt. The 61-year-old, real name Scott Thompson, performed
• 12:51
  Speaker 11: for a sold-out crowd at the Luxor in Las Vegas.
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: He was in the hospital for more than a week
• 12:54
  Speaker 11: after he was found unconscious near a pool at his
• 12:56
  Speaker 11: home in Vegas September 18th. He announced his return to
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: stage and talked about the suicide attempt for the first
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: time in an online post over the weekend. The prop
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: comedian said it was tough to figure out what was appropriate,
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: and then he went to his trunk of stuff and
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: pulled out a noose. Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: OK, well, when we come back, the host of Rich
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: on Tech on KFI, Rich DeMuro, got his hands on
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: one of those new foldable iPhones. What he loves, what
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: he doesn't love and whether it's worth the two thousand
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: dollar price tag. That's coming up next on Wake Up Call.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24 hour newsroom.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: L.A.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Mayor Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who wants to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: be mayor, are addressing outrage over unusually high L.A. DWP
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: bills that customers have been seeing in the wake of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: recent heat waves. Bass is calling on the DWP board
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to pause shutoffs through the end of the year for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: customers who are facing those higher bills. Raman says she
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: wants a full audit of the utility. Two people will
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: share a $ 100, 000 reward for providing information that led to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the arrest and conviction of the man who shot two
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: sheriff's deputies in their patrol car in Compton six years ago.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: One of the witnesses will get 90% of that reward money.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Officials haven't said specifically what information was provided that led
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: them to the shooter. Fans headed to the L.A. Rams
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: game against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Eve are
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: going to have a beautiful day. U2 is performing at
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the halftime show at SoFi Stadium. The first ever NFL
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: game on the day before Thanksgiving will be streaming on Netflix.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Note to self, do not cancel Netflix subscription. Let's say
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: good morning now to the host of Rich on Tech
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: on KFI. You can hear him every Saturday from 11
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to 2. It's KTLA's tech guy, Rich DeMuro. Morning, Rich.
• 14:57
  Speaker 13: Good morning to you, Amy.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday. So are you happy with the new foldable
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: iPhone that you've been playing with for a while?
• 15:06
  Speaker 13: You know, I'm just posting my review right now to
• 15:09
  Speaker 13: my website, richontech.tv. And I got to say, if I
• 15:13
  Speaker 13: had to sum it up, it grew on me. So
• 15:16
  Speaker 13: when I first got this phone and I kind of
• 15:18
  Speaker 13: switched over to it last week from a standard iPhone,
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: I was so frustrated. I was ready to throw this
• 15:23
  Speaker 13: thing against the wall. And I said, this is crazy.
• 15:26
  Speaker 13: Who would ever want this? And then after using it
• 15:28
  Speaker 13: for about a week, I can't believe how much I've
• 15:31
  Speaker 13: grown accustomed to it. I love having the big screen.
• 15:34
  Speaker 13: You unfold it into this big, giant tablet screen that
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: fits in your pocket. So I found myself using it
• 15:40
  Speaker 13: like that more often than not. And the apps, you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: at first when I started using it, none of the
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: apps really optimized for the big screen or the small
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: screen because there's a small and a big. But developers
• 15:52
  Speaker 13: have really been on top of it. And I can't
• 15:54
  Speaker 13: tell you how many apps in the past week when
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: I was complaining to Apple, I said, all these apps,
• 15:58
  Speaker 13: they don't look right. They said, just wait, just wait.
• 16:01
  Speaker 13: And sure enough, almost every major app has gotten an
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: update in the past week. And It all works pretty well.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Cool. So they're fixing it as they go. So tell
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: me about a little bit more about the big screen.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You said that you open it because when I have
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: my phone, obviously, it's just the one screen and I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: just scroll through. So what do you what do you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: open it up for for everything or for like if
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you're browsing a website or specific things?
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: Yes, you've got a little 5.4-inch screen on the outside,
• 16:26
  Speaker 13: 7.6-inch screen on the inside. And typically, you can do
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: almost everything you need to do on the outside screen.
• 16:32
  Speaker 13: But I found myself opening up the inside screen for
• 16:35
  Speaker 13: a lot of things, like just scrolling through social media,
• 16:37
  Speaker 13: looking at websites, watching videos, because it's so comfortable. And
• 16:42
  Speaker 13: it actually feels better than a regular iPad in your
• 16:44
  Speaker 13: hand because the corners are rounded. And you can hold
• 16:47
  Speaker 13: it with one hand. The weight and the size is perfect.
• 16:50
  Speaker 13: Apple really nailed a lot of things on this. And
• 16:52
  Speaker 13: I've tested all of the foldables that are available in
• 16:55
  Speaker 13: the U.S., and they've been okay, but there's been two
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: major issues. Number one, the software has never been that good,
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: the apps have never been that good, and the comfort
• 17:05
  Speaker 13: level has never been that good. And Apple got all
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: three of those things right, and this is why Apple
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: does what Apple does. They kind of sit, they wait,
• 17:13
  Speaker 13: they make things better. And I think that they came
• 17:16
  Speaker 13: out with a phone that's really going to surprise people,
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: but you have to use it for a little bit,
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: especially when you're paying $ 2, 000. It's a lot of money.
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: I will tell you one thing, though. I've got to
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: say the downside.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: Two downsides. Number one, there's no Face ID, which means
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: unlocking this thing does take a little bit more effort
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: because you're back to a fingerprint sensor. Number two, the
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: camera system, not as good as the Pro models, and
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: it's Taking photos does take some getting used to because
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: everything's just a little wonkier on it. So I'm not
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: thrilled with that experience.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And no face ID. How do you live without face ID?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I do everything face ID now.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: You don't realize how incredible it is because basically, let's
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: say a notification lights up your screen. Typically on a
• 18:01
  Speaker 13: regular iPhone, you just look at your screen and next
• 18:03
  Speaker 13: thing you know, that notification shows up. This one, no,
• 18:06
  Speaker 13: no dice. You got to sit there. You for the
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: notification to show up, and then a couple of seconds
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: to go to your home screen. So it's like a
• 18:13
  Speaker 13: one-two punch. So it definitely takes a little muscle memory.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. Moving on, but staying on with Apple, you said
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that a lot of times Apple kind of hangs back
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and waits until they figure it out, make sure that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: they get it right before they push it out. And
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: now they're pushing out their first ever touchscreen MacBook.
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: Yes, supposedly. This is a rumor, but this is Apple.
• 18:35
  Speaker 13: They're going to have an event next week here in
• 18:38
  Speaker 13: Los Angeles. And the idea is that they are going
• 18:41
  Speaker 13: to launch their first touchscreen MacBook, like you said. And
• 18:44
  Speaker 13: here's why I think that rumor is actually pretty good.
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: It's because I feel like this is conspiracy theory time,
• 18:51
  Speaker 13: but I feel like Apple didn't do a foldable phone
• 18:54
  Speaker 13: because they knew it would eat into their iPad sales
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: because you don't need an iPad when you have this device.
• 18:59
  Speaker 13: And so same thing with the MacBooks. If you put
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: a touchscreen on a MacBook, you don't need an iPad. Well,
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: I think that they've gone past that. They have a
• 19:06
  Speaker 13: new CEO. I think they're saying, you know what, we're
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: just going to give people all the different products they want.
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: So this product, this unveiling is set for next Wednesday,
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: 10 a.m. Pacific, right here in Los Angeles. They're calling
• 19:18
  Speaker 13: the event a Pro and Tell event. Not as big
• 19:21
  Speaker 13: as their standard events, but just a smaller event to release,
• 19:24
  Speaker 13: probably iPads and probably some MacBooks.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool. Let's talk about your car and your phone
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and how those now are being integrated.
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: This is one of my absolute favorite features on the Tesla.
• 19:38
  Speaker 13: So I've not carried a car key for years, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 13: now other cars are getting similar features. So GM, which
• 19:45
  Speaker 13: obviously makes a lot of cars, is rolling out digital
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: keys that you can now store in your Apple wallet,
• 19:51
  Speaker 13: your Google wallet, or your Samsung wallet. And what's neat
• 19:54
  Speaker 13: about this is you literally do not need a physical
• 19:57
  Speaker 13: key to get into your car. You just walk up
• 19:59
  Speaker 13: to your car, it automatically unlocks, you walk away, your
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: car locks itself. this is a game changer feature. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 13: you might be saying, well, Rich, what happens if I
• 20:09
  Speaker 13: don't have my phone? What if the battery's dead? Yeah,
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: you got to think about that stuff, I guess. But
• 20:15
  Speaker 13: the iPhone does keep a little power reserve for this feature,
• 20:19
  Speaker 13: even if your battery completely dies. So just know that
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: you probably won't be stranded. This is rolling out now
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: on certain models, Cadillac Lyric, the Optic, the Vistic, the Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, 2026,
• 20:32
  Speaker 13: 2027 models. Obviously, check to see if your car is
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: getting this. But if it is, it is one of
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: my absolute favorite features of all time.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And do you know if it's going to have the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: remote start feature like your Tesla has?
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: You know, they already have that in their app. So
• 20:47
  Speaker 13: a lot of these cars have that through the app.
• 20:49
  Speaker 13: And so you can get that, you can get that
• 20:52
  Speaker 13: feature already for a lot of these cars.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you on a hundred degree day, remote start
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: is the coolest thing. And then being from the Northwest,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I used to have remote start in my Durango and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: it was a lifesaver because it'd be like, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: 20 degrees and snowing. Oh my gosh.
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: It's the best. Yeah. And the fact that you can
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: change the temperature from the app a lot of times
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: is great because When I didn't have that, when I
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: could just turn it on, I would have to, like,
• 21:16
  Speaker 13: leave my air blasting, you know? I'd be like, oh, yeah,
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: let me leave my air blasting so I get in.
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: It's going to be really hot.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We're so spoiled. But I'm very thankful for that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Still my favorite thing in my car is the heated seats.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I think they're fabulous. Anyway, Rich on Tech is where
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you find Rich, at Rich on Tech on Instagram. You
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: can check out his website, richontech.tv. And that's where– are
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you putting your review of the iPhone Duo up there?
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 13: Yes, just posted it. I'll have a lot more, obviously,
• 21:45
  Speaker 13: on the weekend radio show. I'll take a deep dive
• 21:47
  Speaker 13: on KTLA on Friday. I'll have my video review. But
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: this morning, I've just posted all of my initial thoughts
• 21:53
  Speaker 13: on this device, which are actually quite long.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I love that. And for a more expanded thought process,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: make sure you tune in to Rich on Tech this
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Saturday from 11 to 2 right here on KFI. Thank you,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro.
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: Thank you, Amy King.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: All right. The gas company is doing a controlled release
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: from a section of pipeline along PCH near Laguna Beach.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: SoCalGas says people living or traveling along Pacific Coast Highway
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: may hear a hissing sound or smell natural gas this morning.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Officials say the operation is necessary to support Caltrans construction
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to deal with coastal erosion and land movement in the area.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: The operation should wrap up later this morning. The rain
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: is on its way and it could get a little loud.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: This isn't expected to be a wild weather event like
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: we've seen recently in Southern California.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: You know, we're not looking at heavy downpours. And if
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: there are, it's going to be brief.
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Although we could get some cities that, you know, quarter
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: of an inch, half an inch of rain. If we
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: get a thunderstorm, it'd be a little bit more.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: He says there shouldn't be any mudslide danger, maybe some
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: coastal swells.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I'm more concerned for the erosion in the beach areas
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: on Monday and Tuesday.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: That's when the king tides arrive and could bring flooding
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: in some areas. Jason Nathanson, KFI News.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Two 15-year-old girls have been arrested for allegedly planning an
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: attack at Corona High School in Riverside County. The FBI
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: notified Corona Police earlier this month about social media posts
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: that planning was underway for a potential attack. One girl
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: was arrested, then the other. Police say evidence showed the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: girls had spent several months researching school shootings and discussed
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: how they would carry out a potential attack on an
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: unspecified date. Dodgers bars in L.A. bet against the boys
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: in blue, and they won.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: 25 bars, many of them close to Dodger Stadium, bet
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: the Dodgers would lose the NLCS to the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: They placed the $ 60, 000 bet with prediction market Kalshi and
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: got nearly double that back. Many experts say it serves
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: as a bit of an insurance policy. The bars will
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: likely use the money to cover lost revenue from not
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: hosting Dodger World Series watch parties this year. Tammy Trujillo,
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: KFI News.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I like people
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: betting against the boys in blue.
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: Smart, though, business-wise.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, business-wise, smart. When we come back, a little bit
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: later anyway, Amy's on it. It was supposed to be
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: a blockbuster, but was it just kind.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Of a bust?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I'll disclose that to you. Coming up a little later
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: on Wake Up Call.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24 hour newsroom.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: California state workers expected to go on strike today for
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a one day walkout. Workers are going to be picketing
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: in downtown L.A. They claim Governor Newsom's administration has failed
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to bargain in good faith on wages, health care and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: telework policies. They want to work from home. Union officials
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: say 96 percent of members who participated in a strike
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: authorization vote earlier this month. supported the walkout. A letter
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: containing a suspicious substance has been intercepted before it was
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: delivered to Representative Nanette Berrigan's 44th District Office in Long Beach.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Berrigan didn't say where the letter was intercepted or whether
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: anyone was exposed to what was inside. Powerball jackpot climbing
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to $ 635 million for tonight's drawing. There was no winner
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: on Monday, so the big prize just keeps getting bigger.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: There was no grand prize winner from last night's Mega
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Millions drawing either. That jackpot goes up to $ 433 million
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: for the next drawing. Tonight, the Clippers take on the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings for their home opener at Intuit Dome with
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: tip-off at 7.30 on AM570 LA Sports. Just like that,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: done with baseball, on to basketball. The numbers on a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: federal crackdown on non-citizen voters in LA may not add up.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: The feds say Los Angeles County has 20,000 non-citizen voters,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: but the LA County Register Recorder's Office says that they
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: tested a small sample of the voter roll in question
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: and 112 out of the 200 that were sampled were
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: not sent ballots and roughly 70% of the sample batch
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: had no voting history. The DOJ says an addition to
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: the disputed list of 20,000 likely non-citizen voters, there's now
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: a separate batch of more than 17,000 voting records potentially
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: tied to non-citizens. Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: A man from Riverside County is expected to plead guilty
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: in LA to federal charges of kidnapping illegal immigrants and
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: holding them for ransom. Miguel Avila is due in court
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: this afternoon. He's one of five people facing charges. He
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: was allegedly the leader of a human smuggling ring operating
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: out of Hemet that brought more than 100 people into
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the U.S. illegally. Prosecutors say Avila and the others held
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: some of the immigrants in L.A. until their families paid
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: demanded ransoms. A 48-year-old man from Westminster has been arrested
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: for allegedly stabbing two family members and the family dog
• 26:50

• 27:05
  Speaker 1: is almost ready to launch at the California Science Center.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: The space shuttle, that has been to space 25 times,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: will soon be on permanent display in its upright launch
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: position at the new Samuel Ocean Air and Space Museum
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: at the Science Center. The grand opening is set for
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: November 13th, and it's expected to be very popular and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: in very high demand. Because of the demand, to see
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the 20-story tall shuttle that's attached to a pair of
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: solid rocket boosters and the last remaining external fuel tank
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: in existence is expected to be so high. The Science
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Center is taking advance reservations. That starts this morning at 9.30.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: There's a $ 4 reservation fee, which will be waived for
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Science Center members. Admission to the exhibit's free, but because
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of the demand, they're doing the reservation system. And reservations
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: can be made at CaliforniaScienceCenter.org. And I can tell you
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: that I have been to see it. We did a
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: little sneak peek. It's spectacular. spectacular it's so worth it
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: so worth it time to get in your business with
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: bloombergs who are we talking to today is it matt
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: do we have matt piper it is hi matt piper
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: hey good morning hey we were uh we're talking about
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: big things like space shuttles and that leads us to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: space x and that means leads to big mergers see
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: how it all ties together.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah it all ties together possibly let's go to space
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: for a is openly endorsing the prospect of combining SpaceX
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: and Tesla. These are, of course, two huge companies, uniting
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: assets from electric cars to AI data centers to rocket
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: and satellite capabilities. Musk says the boards of both companies
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: have formed special committees to consider the idea of a combo,
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: but he's cautioning that getting enough support from Tesla shareholders
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: may be tricky. Tesla's stock is up in the pre-market 1.5%.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: By the way, SpaceX stock is up in the pre-market
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: by 7%, Amy.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Hmm, interesting. How do they need to merge? They're totally different.
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I know.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, maybe they want to, you know, send some
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: Tesla cars up into space, and then before we know it,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: we're all going to be the Flintstones.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Okay. Netflix, oh, I'm watching a great show that just
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: arrived on Netflix, has reported its slowest sales jump in
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: three years.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, not only that, but a forecast of fourth consecutive
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: quarter of slowing growth, amplifying concerns about the performance of
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: the world's leading online TV network. Now, Netflix delivered sales
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: of $ 12. 9 billion here in the third quarter, in line
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: with Wall Street's expectations, and forecast sales of $ 13. 4 billion
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: in the year's final three months here upcoming. The company's
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: blaming its sales shortfall on the advertising business, which is
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: on pace to deliver $ 300 million less than expected. Netflix
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: stock is down about 25% this year. Right now it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: down 7% in pre-market trading.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Yikes. A lot of people have had to cut back
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Back on groceries because of the high cost of, well, everything, right?
• 29:54
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: Get this.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: One in five Americans say they have had to cut
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: back on groceries to afford their electric bills. Now, that's
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: from a new survey out from Consumer Reports. It also
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: shows a quarter of people are turning down their heating
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: or AC to uncomfortable levels to lower their energy costs.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: And about 80 percent of people who have lived in
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: the same home for at least three years say their
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: electricity bills have increased. over that time. I know it's
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: happening where you are because it's been very hot there recently.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the DWP bills, we were talking thousands of dollars
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: for people's electric and water bills. Coca-Cola took a $ 5
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: billion swing at coffee and missed.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it missed big time. So it acquired Costa Coffee
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: for $ 5. 1 billion back in 2018, aiming to expand into
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: the global coffee and tea market and But the plan
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: is largely missed out on the coffee market. Costa's vending
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: machines proved to be more expensive and complicated for Coke
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: bottlers to place in stores. And the company was outdone
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: by its biggest rival. That is the Frappuccino. Coca-Cola stock
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: is down slightly, by the way, in the pre-market. Again,
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: just stay.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: In your lane. Stay in your lane. You do Coca-Cola great.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Getting in your business as we do each weekday morning
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: with Bloomberg's Matt Piper. Thanks so much, Matt. We'll talk
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to you soon.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: See you tomorrow.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: All right. When we come back, Amy's on it. What
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: am I on? I'm on the stream because there's so
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: much to see. And again, I mentioned I just found
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: it's actually not a brand new show, but I haven't
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: seen the whole series yet. And it's really freaky. But
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that's not what we're talking about today. I got to
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: watch it first. But Amy's on it this week. It
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be a blockbuster, but maybe it was
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: just a big bust. I'm going to disclose what it
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: is when.
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: We come back.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for starting your day with us. I'm
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Amy King. Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: The number of new immigrant students enrolling in schools in
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: California has plummeted. Oakland schools saw one of the most
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: dramatic decreases where numbers from last year to this year
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: were down by half. Other urban areas are also seeing
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: declining enrollment that correlates with the sharp decrease in border
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: crossings in early 2025. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has been interrupted
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: by pro-Palestinian protesters during a performance at the Chicago Theater.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Demonstrators shouted accusations of genocide in Gaza. Seinfeld responded last
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: week by dancing on stage and mocking the protesters with
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: sarcastic remarks, saying he would find out how much the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: protesters paid for their tickets and and send the money
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: directly to Israel. It's the latest in a series of
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: protests targeting Seinfeld over his outspoken support for Israel. Trump
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: administration has launched a $ 25 million program offering rewards for
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: fraud tips. The program will give tipsters up to $ 30, 000
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: if information they report leads to a fraud-related conviction or
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: significant federal enforcement action. The White House's Trump's task force
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to eliminate fraud works every day to combat the rampant
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: abuse of taxpayer dollars and and to give Americans the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: accountability they deserve. We're just minutes away from Handel on
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the news this morning. Well, Elon Musk apparently is the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: one who ordered that slowdown of the Starlink system in Ukraine.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: There's been some finger pointing on that. We'll get you
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the latest on that coming up again on Handel on
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the News. What am I on? I'm on the stream.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: So many services, so many shows, so many really good
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: shows and some not so great shows, too. So hopefully
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I can direct you to some of the good ones
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and maybe keep you away from some of the bad ones.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: So Disclosure Day just dropped on Peacock. It's been available
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: for a while, but you had to rent it separately.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: And it is now included with Peacock. So I thought, oh, good.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Now that it's included, I'm just sort of paying for it.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And I'll see it because I did not see it
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: in theaters. But it just dropped on October 9th. So
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: it's Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Coleman Domingo. So big names.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: The show, the movie opens. Of course, you know, it's
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a Steven Spielberg movie. Disclosure Day has to do with aliens.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: And I remember the the trailers for it. And you're like, oh, man,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: this looks like it could be good. Right. Because they
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: don't give away a ton. So from the get-go, you
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: know that something kind of crazy is going on. It's
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a long setup, though, for something to start happening. I mean,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: at first, I even was wondering if I had the
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: right movie on. Because Emily Blunt, who stars in it,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't show up until like 10 or 15 minutes in.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: So it took a minute. I was like, I literally
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: went back to the menu to make sure that I
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: was on disclosure day. And then while this is happening
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: and you're kind of going, am I on the right movie?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: You're going, what in the heck is going on? And
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: it moves kind of slow. It unfolds slowly, but then
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: it does get kind of crazy and unpredictable. And you
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: just keep going, what in the heck is happening? Which
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I love. I love when a movie makes you just like, well, what?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: So it is extraterrestrial, but it might be something else too.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: It could be something more nefarious. It asks a ton
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: of questions about humanity, about divinity, about civilization, about It
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: does get a little too woo woo for me. There
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: were certain aspects of the storyline that I'm like, come on,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: that's just pushing it too far. I mean, we're talking
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: about aliens.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Though, right?
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Honestly, the lead up to the end is fantastic, but
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't like the ending. That was just me. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: would love to hear what you have to say. It
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: is Steven Spielberg. It's good. And I don't know how
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I really would have wanted it to end. I just
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: didn't like the way that it did end. It's worth
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: seeing if you haven't seen it already, especially now that
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: it's included in your streaming service. But it's Disclosure Day
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and it's on Peacock. There, I disclosed that to you. Now,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: let's get back to some of the stories coming out
