  Speaker 5: I'm getting ready for Dodgers season. Ah, opening days like
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: two weeks away.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: If you really wanted to get if you really wanted
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to get ready for Dodger season, you would be going
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: to a game much like Marcel Marceau, where you put
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of white on your face and blue and white. Okay,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: never mind, that didn't work out.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It was a visual. It was a visual.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It's a mind joke. Yeah, it's a mind joke. Yes,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: all right, Hey Neil, good morning. You're already attacking me,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you beastard you.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I was just wishing you were a mime.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Actually, yes, I'd it'd be perfect once again, high ratings
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: if that were to happen.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Cono, good morning, Good morning Bill, all right, and.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Will there you are, good morning, Good morning Bill, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: and good morning, good morning.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. I want to share with you what happened yesterday.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I had lunch with Lindsay and a friend of hers
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: who is a techno Maven, and he's dealing with AI
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: uh and various aspects of AI. And just for giggles,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: we started running as an example, started running my reputation
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: and this show and the reach, et cetera. So one
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: of the things that we ran is my public profile
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: brief plus automation strategy to make the show more listen to,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: more relevant, more topical, and get a great number greater
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: number of listeners, because it said, most of our listeners
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: are very close to death. And it starts with Handles,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: a major Los Angeles radio personality associated with KFI, am
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: host of Handle on the lots all they talk about
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: public persona high energy, blunt, provocative commentary, heavy strong influence
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and reach, long broadcasting track record, direct, sharp sarcastic style,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: uses humor and strong opinions, drive engagement, polarizing.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Supporters view him as candid, entertaining.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And then she goes on and on and on, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: then it talks about my reputation not only publicly, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: also within KFI and within the industry. And usually reputations
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: there's you usually some divergence between the off air personality
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: on air personality reputation amongst the radio industry, as I said,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: as well as listeners as well as within the station.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You know what, And.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: They say this that unusually speaking all of them converge
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: with he's a dick.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's what chat GPT came up with.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: How much is their friend charging you? So far?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: So far?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: It was just to show how it worked, and it came.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It all came to it all came to one word,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: thank you. How's that for sophistication.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Huh oh boy, I could have told you that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: How come every time someone introduced you, introduces you to
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: a friend, you've got to pay.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. Yeah, same thing with sex my
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: entire history. I might add, all right, you can also
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: do that by getting married, and that is even more expensive.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: But it was interesting, left out kind generous, really, yeah,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: completely left that out.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this guy all he did was call us. He
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: didn't use a He called us and we said, yeah,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: he's a d and uh an.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: It tells me how I get I'm better suited.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: To you want more listeners, buy a billboard.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: That's a good Yeah, you know what. You're right, that's it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: That isn't that's an internal issue, by the way, because
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: radio stations don't buy billboards, and billboards do drive listener?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Who's in yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Board?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And just okay, some inside baseball what it because Neil
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: used to do it. What is the cost of a
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: campaign that works in driving radio?
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I don't even I don't remember. Back in the day,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: billboards were let's say, four thousand dollars a month.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that, I remember.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: But I used to have a million dollar budget budget,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: a million budget, and.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: There were and Neil actually designed every single one of
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: those billboards, and we had, you.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Know, partners, Robin Bertolucci and stuff like that. She and
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I came up with the vast majority of them together,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: and I was very, very proud of many of them.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: But I missed that k if I was part of
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the LA landscape all the time. But yeah, you want
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: that in Los Angeles, you put up.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: About half a million dollars.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, let's do some news, guys. We've got an
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: hour to do it, and I want to jump right
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: on it. This is kay if I let's do handle
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: on the news, Amy, Neil and me.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Good story.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: The FBI has given us a little bit of warning
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: actually before the war started, of the risk of drone
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: attacks here in California off the California coast being launched
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and hitting targets. They're saying there's no specific information specific threats.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Last I heard of Disneyland was one of them, Amy
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: it was?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: It was No, that was a swatting story from yesterday.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Oh I thought it was Disneyland because then I thought
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of you there's they have shelters ready to go, for example,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Pirates of the Caribbean. You could go underneath there because
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: it's deep in the ground. Although the mental experts have
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: said listening to Yoho Yoho a Pirates life for me
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: could really screw you up.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: After forty five minutes, Oh I would love it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I will tell you this that all of the dark
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: rides are underground like that. Yeah, most of the big
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: ones are the hunted. You get a little fat round.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Release the crude is that like releasing the kraken. Member
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: countries of the International Energy Agency have unanimously agreed to
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: release four hundred million barrels of oil into the global market.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Of course, the game to bring those oil prices down
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: as ships remain stalled in the Persian Gulf can't get
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: through the Strait of Hermos or. Horror Mooz, the director
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: of the IEA, says this is a major action aimed
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: to alleviate the immediate impacts of the disruption in markets.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: But to be clear, the most important thing for a
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: return to stable flows of oil and natural gas is
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: the resumption of transit through the Strait of hor Moves.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, four hundred million barrels of oil is eighty three
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: minutes of world consumption. Much It's like a drop in
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the bucket. And it hasn't affected oil prices one iota.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And you would think it would.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I think we use two million a day anyway, if
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Just the United States.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Wow, all right, if you're looking to, you know, buy
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: a war for six days, it's going to cost you
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: about eleven point three billion dollars. That's what it costs
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: the first six days alone, according to three people familiar
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: with the briefing. This comes out of the New York Times.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: And this estimate, as big as it is, doesn't even
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: include many of the costs that are just associated with
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: the operation on the periphery. That's the build up of
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: military hardware, that's you know, getting personnel ahead of the
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: first strike set up. So lawmakers expect that number to
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: grow considerably. But that's where it is at, uh now, And.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look at the numbers, Neil, it's a lot of
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Look at the numbers just individual individual weaponry.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: A in the AGM one fifty four slide bomb, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: have no idea what that is. Five hundred and seventy
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: eight thousand dollars to eight hundred and thirty six thousand dollars.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: That's for one bomb, and the Navy bought three thousand
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: of them nearly two decades ago. I keep in mind,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: a toilet seed is three hundred thousand dollars.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a hammer, Yeah, it's like an asprid at the hospital. Yeah,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: four hundred and seventy dollars for an aspird.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Outdated intelligence apparently turned deadly. There was the strike on
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: the elementary school in Iran and the opening hours of
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: the US and Israeli attacks on Iran. A preliminary military
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: investigation shows that it may have been outdated intelligence that
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: led to the US hitting the elementary school. One hundred
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: and sixty five people, most of them children were killed.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't they just admit it? From get the
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: get go, the argument it was, and you have a
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: preliminary report. You had Pete Hegseth, we're investigating. We had
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the president, we're investigating. Well, mister president, there was a
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: preliminary report. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. Can't
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: just say yeah, it was outdated intelligence. That's what happens
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: in war. Our hearts break for these families. We're going
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: to try to make it as good as we possibly can,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: paying reparations, whatever is going to be the outcome. But
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: things happen in war, and this was outdated intelligence, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: okay it was. Now what deny obscut to deflect? I mean,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: that doesn't bode well for credibility. Matter of fact, this
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: entire war doesn't bode well for credibility.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: What about hitting it off hours?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: That's one of that is exactly one of the arguments
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: against it. There were some things that could have been
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: done that there was a report, one is off hours.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Another one casualties per se. Yeah, absolutely right.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: So no, and that's that's there were several issues because
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: if you look at satellite imagery, it was fairly easy
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: to see this was a school. Originally it was a
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: military compound, but they built a wall, uh, and this
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: became a school and very easy to see in satellite photos.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: That's the argument. But to your point, that's where the
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of amirations are coming from.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: All right, So nearly forty percent of California produce has these,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: uh you know, these pesticides and that those forever chemicals.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: We hear so much about the PFA S chemical. These
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: are compounds and there's a group of them. They call
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: it a family of these compounds. They can be lasting,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: they could be harmful, they could be tard tied to cancer,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: these types of things. Well, they're finding that forty percent
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: of California's conventionally grown fruits vegetables tested for these, so
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: ninety percent of peaches and nectarines these and you and
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: I have talked about this on Foody Friday. Bill. These
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: fall into the category of the Dirty dozen. The dirty
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: dozen are the ones that you should be buying organic.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: These are the ones where you eat the skin peaches, plums,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: things like that, strawberries. Yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Also you've you've pointed out also that these contaminants make
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the fruit taste better and the fruit that is bigger,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: and it's.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: A positive law. Yees, it's just better all the way around.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Those forever chemicals. They stay with you.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I like the idea of a peach taking
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: four and a half months to both ripe and somehow
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: become uneedle and inedible.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Neil, I have a question for you about this sense
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: you're the fruit guy. If they've got the PFA residues
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: on them, can you wash them off or are they.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Just in the fruit? Oh you always want to wash shirt?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, fruit, absolutely, and there are washes that you
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: can use for that. How much comes off with that,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you, but I do know that with
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: the physical friction of you know, washing the fruit being
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: most important. The second is the type of organic cleaners
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: that you're using and take that off. But that's you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: that's a soft skin on a peach. Anything on the
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: outside is probably going to enter the inside, but it
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: takes some of it off.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: How about potatoes in the dishwasher both cleaning potatoes and
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: cooking them at the same time. Are you joking because
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: people do that. I am joking and I didn't know that.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there are people that have that clean their potatoes
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: in their dishwashing. Sure, cleaning or cooking a potato, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: there's kind of hard because you have to cook it
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: for a while. But there are people that do cook
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: things in the heat of the Oh yeah, small potatoes
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: and things like that. Yeah, you can look all this
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: stuff up. It takes place, but some people do clean
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: fruits and things like that in the dishwasher. I don't
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: recommend it, but some people do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Iran is attacking virtually, and Iran linked hacker group has
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: claimed responsibility for a cyber attack on a medical tech company.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: It appears to be the first big instance of Iran's
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: hacking an American company since the conflict between the US
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: and Israel and Iran got underway almost two weeks ago.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Iran has done some of its most infamous Wiper cyber
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: attacks on the US, and the whole idea on those
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: wiper attacks is just to erase all the data on
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: computer networks, and this one hits striker. An employee says
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: that his work phone just stopped working in that groundwork
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: and communications to a standstill yesterday.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Are you surprised that there are so few of these?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I thought these would be massive and numerous.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I think you're right. I'm surprised that it's a one
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: of the easier ways to attack somebody you know from home.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Also, have you ever been in hospital in a hospital bed,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: you know, the gurnie they move around as a striker?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Is that really Yeah? I just thought I mentioned that.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: A couple of minutes. I'll never get back so La voters,
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: although they're undecided about what's going on with the mayor's race.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: So far, Bass is only at twenty percent support. This
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: new poll finds this is Emerson College Polling and Inside
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: California Politics, that about fifty one percent of Angelinos have
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: not made up their minds about who should lead the
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: city for the next four years. But surprisingly so you've
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: got Spencer Pratt, who is a conservative reality TV star,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: came in my second Yeah, I don't know much about
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: him either, just over ten percent. Nithia Rahman, who is
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: probably the only person on the planet that could get
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: me to vote for bass Is I mean, seriously, Holy crap.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: She's a former Bass ally and she kind of shook
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: things up with her last minute entry, but she said
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: about nine percent.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it's crazy. I mean, Bass a
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: city mayor with twenty percent approval rate, that's got to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: be the worst.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: It has to be the worst. Matter of fact, I'm
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: looking at the figures here. It's a higher support as
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Charles Manson and he's dead.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Oh God, can you cover up the swastika before you
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: go out and do the conference.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Pete Hegseeth, you're so vain. The Defense Department has barred
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: press photographers from briefings on the US Israeli military conflict
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: with Iran. Why because the photographers turned their photos into
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: their news organizations and they published pictures of Defense Secretary
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Pete HeiG Sith. HeiG sith that his staff deemed unflattering.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Only this administration ridiculous. It's just insane. So if you.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, there's not much you can say more about that.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: You really can't.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I want to.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I need to go and google the pictures to see
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: which ones like does does he look like a like
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: a tyrant? Is that what they're saying? He didn't look good?
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Did he have his finger up his nose? I mean,
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: what was going on here?
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Isn't that why we had to remove the cameras from
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: the studio years ago? Bill, because they can how much those.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Photos of Pete Hegseth.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: And all you see is you see him from the
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: neck down because his head is up Donald Trump's rear
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: end and you really can't see his head.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: This is coming from a man who wears his wife
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: like a hat. Noma, you heard.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: That's for you.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Ann Noma. You heard about Amy talking about this during
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: wake up Call this morning. Yesterday was supposed to be
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: this big exciting culinary day for Los Angeles and the
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: food scene here as Noma, this acclaimed restaurant three Michelin Stars,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: we're going to open their doors in southern California, actually
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: on the eastern side of LA in Silver Lake. This
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: is at a location called the Paramore Estate. It is stunning.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: I've been there a couple of times and it's a
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: private residence, but it's massive and it sits on a hill.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: But you remember this particular check Chef Renee red Zeppe
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: has a history apparently, or at least people have accused
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: him of a history of brutality towards them, both emotionally
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: and physically. And there was some workers that have worked
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: for him that that were protesting outside of the estate
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: there and he stepped down that dollars a plate.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Who's going to cook the meals?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: It's moving, They're moving the pop up to a burger
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: king and people are spending a lot of money for
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: a whopper.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he just resigned.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Now, Neil with him gone, all right, what what do
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: you think is going to happen to the restaurant.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I personally, I think the way these things work,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: the food is going to be exactly the same, is
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: my guest. These are very well trained Sioux chefs and
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. However, it's like seeing a Broadway show
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: without the person you went to the Broadway show to see.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Kind of, It's still going to be a fabulous show.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: It's Broadway for Pete's sake. But if you're going because
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: of the name associated with it, then that's where you lose.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: But as far as the atmosphere and the quality of food,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: I think that's still going to be top notch across
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: the board.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Now I'm assuming because longevity is involved, are they going
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: to change the menu because the Sioux chef who turns
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: executive chef is not going to have the same skill set,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Get well, they may, but it's not about that. There's this,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: it's it's the star factor. However, this is a pop up.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: This is a pop up through June and it's not
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: there to stay, and they're shutting the doors of the
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: original location in Copenhagen. Anyways, that's already been planned. So
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: whether this guy works again, I've never met the man
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I know nothing about him personally, but the stories are
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: pretty horrific.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Iran's not coming. Iran Sports and Youth Minister says it
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: is not possible for the country to take part in
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: the World Cup this summer. He said his country soccer
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: team players are not safe in the US. Iran is
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: scheduled to play at SOFI against New Zealand June fifteenth,
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: against Belgium June twenty first, and then would finish up
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: group play against Egypt in Seattle on June twenty sixth.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: But they're not coming. Do you think it has anything
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: to do with the defection of the women.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And so they're not going to And by
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: the way, the World Cup organization and LA, the LA organization,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I do not want the exploding discus that these guys
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: are throwing or the shot put. And you know there
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: was a problem when there was a fuse going into
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I know, I.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to it was a good, fairly decent joke.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: And you're right, yes, a black soccer ball with a
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: fuse would.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Be okay, thank you, Yes, you're right, that's better. You're right.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I I retract that. Neil Neil took that one.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's call the layup, sir. Alrighty, So, Sergeant first
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Class Corey Hicks, So we've been hearing about him, remembers
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: he's one of the he's the survivor of the deadly
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Kwait drone attack in the hospital. Talked about hearing a
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: buzzing noise that quickly got louder right before this Iranian
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: drone attack on the US command center there killed six people. Uh,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: these are his fellow service members, of course. And he
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: talks about how and I think you shared this yesterday,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Bill about he got the he got they got the
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: all clear, and they came out of their you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: bunker or what have you, and he heard that noise
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: and he knew it was either a missile or a drone,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: and of course it blew up, he said. He said,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: it blew up the entire building.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: You know what struck me as you were watching this
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: on video, is how relatively unhurt he was as he
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: described the entire building blown apart, and his colleague, his
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: fellow army soldier, was killed five feet from him.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he said that he looked around, he saw everything
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: was just smoke, fire, chaos, And he said at that
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: point in time, I knew I had to get out
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: of there. I grabbed my battle buddy and pulled him
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: out and tried to get people out as fast as
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I can. And then he realized he was a lot
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: more injured than he thought. I guess he got hit
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: by shrapnel. R Dearie was severed attached.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem. Okay, I'll take that back. He
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: was in amage to your face.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: But no, relatively, that's all horrible. But you're right. Relativity
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: to the entire you're building being blown up and six
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: people dying, that's coming out pretty unscathed comparatively.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: Gad zooks ubers teaming up with Amazon. Uber has reached
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: a multi year agreement with Amazon's autonomous driving unit called Zooks.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Zokes vehicles will be available on the Uber app starting
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: in Las Vegas this summer and La next year. So
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: apparently you can pick whether you want a driver or not.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Do you what I think there's a problem with booking
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: a company, a ride share company named zooks.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I would have second thoughts. Yeah, you'd think it was
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: like an Uber for animals, Yeah, he would. So another
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: one bites the dust California again with its master plan
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: with businesses. Hi, leave us. We hate you, we hate business,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: we hate commerce. Forty seven years, almost fifty years in Cyprus,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Yamaha Motors has relocated it's US headquarters to Georgia. They
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: said tax pressures, oh boy, and they need to improve profitability.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: So you've got you know, Tesla in and out Chevron,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: all kinds of businesses picking up and leaving because California
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: sucks for business, whether it's large or small.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: And this is while Gavin Newsom is saying California is
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: great and invites businesses in.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: He you know, he and Trump are the same person.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: All these people with their whole look at everything, don't
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: look over here, with massive homelessness, with all kinds of crime,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: all these things, and he wants to be president. He
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: can't even govern California well.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: At talking about homelessness. Amy, here's a story.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, we're throwing more money at the problem. Actually
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: this one could help. La Mayor Bass has announced a
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: one million dollar award to the Little Tokyo Service Center
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: to expand homelessness prevention services. So the money is going
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: to apparently go to support low income renters who are
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: risk of losing their homes. Including seniors, families with young kids,
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: people with disabilities, immigrants, and households with limited English proficiency.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, got to do it. Yeah, yeah, I do it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Well if it helps people from getting on the streets
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: in the first place, goody.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I'm all for that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: And I immediately thought of a joke that I'm not
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: going to share with you.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I just look, I just love that millions and millions
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: and millions of dollars can't be you know, tracked. Yet
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: you're gonna throw one million dollars into something that is preventative.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna do much. It's not gonna do much.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: But as I said, it's all incremental. It's little bits
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: and pieces to deal with homelessness. And eventually, eighty years
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: from now there'll be a really good attack on homelessness.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Where is going to be more than just a little
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: bit ahead.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Hey, both the plane, the plane. Two months that's my
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: tattoo impression. Smiles, everyone smiles. Two months after that so
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: called doomsday plane caused a big stir landing at Los
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Angeles LAX A similar plane sparked fear it because it
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: was spotted performing exercises in Fresno. There at the airport
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: on Sunday. So you know, this is like that emergency
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: operation plane. It's a hub for the present.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: That makes sense.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: No, I got about five of them. I think three
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: to five of them, and you know, people go, well,
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: what's going on?
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: And the last plane you remember this story, Defense Secretary
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Pete Hexith flew from Washington to southern California on some
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: kind of a trainee mission after having invited a whole
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: bunch of people to join him on this neat plane.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: The only story is he didn't sell tickets.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: And that thing was he put he put a saddle
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: on it and wrote on top.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: That's weird, right, that is very weird.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's yelling yippie Kaye m Effers.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, that wasn't very funny, by the way, it was.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: That was pretty stupid, it really was. That's good.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Left loud, No, no, no, we're done, guys.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: This is why your audience is eight hundred years old.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: That is absolutely correct. Okay.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: When the drone from Iran hits Disneyland, what do you do?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it's gonna be close. By the way, this
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: is not a crazy story either.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's reality here and I'll share that story
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: with you upon our return.
