  Speaker 2: I probably shouldn't say this on the air.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Just start swinging by the end of handle, just be.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Like, get out a filthy and like a sailor. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: love saying that about people who are kind to people.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: They're so nice. Then you lean over and you go, yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: is drunk.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: There's some accuracy.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: If I get a little tequila, I start swearing I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: dated this girl. Well everyone does. That's what tequila does.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It's a truth teller.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: If it didn't happen, I'd be worried about you. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: dated this love she was just lovely, this lovely woman.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: One time and she'd get a couple pops in her
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and yeah, she she was angry.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: It makes me very like honest with like way too
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: honest with people, but not like in the in a
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: good way, like it's it's not good.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Tequila is not my friend.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It it tends to make men fight and women
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: take off their clothes, all right, which is probably why
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the guys are fighting. Yeah, but first, yeah, yeah, there's not.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: One of the best compliments I ever received was from
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the genius himself, mister Phil Hendry. We were in Vegas
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and we were thrown back tequila and he's like, you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: are one of the only guys I will drink tequila
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: with because I'm actually more fun. But I'm not like
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a jerk, and guys can be jerks with tequila. Yeah,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: So I thought that was nice. And he's a Don
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Julio guy, if I remember correctly.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: People think that news people are just serious all the time,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: and it catches them off guard whenever they see a
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: newsperson out in the wild, like just being normal. And some,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: to be fair, some news people are very stuffy and
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: can't let loose.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something, lay on, man, I've been
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to those award shows for news reading. Newspeople are not
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that way. Some of the old school guys maybe that
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: were bow ties, but newspeople can party.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: They've got to let it out. I have not been
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: to one of those in a very, very long I.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Can drink, and they can party and let loose like
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: nobody's business. So that's true.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I do know news people can can let her rip
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: because I mean, you know, you have to have an outlet.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: You're literally sometimes telling horrible stories all day long. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: just like the bearer of bad news. One time, Handle
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: called me ey Or. He's like, here's e Or with
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: the news, and I was like, oh my god, that's
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: not you. I was like, oh my god. And he's like,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: he goes, you bomb everybody out with your news, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, all right, that's okay.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I can make the news.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's like you're not out, you know, robbing and stealing
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and cutting fatton, which is what I do for New
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Year's as a matter of fact. Actually if I go
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: out and do strong arm rubbery.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Well, I've been asking everybody today. Our wake up call
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: question was what's the one thing you have to do
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: on New Year's And what's your thing?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: What does you do?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: You have a certain food or drink? You know, normally
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we're I'm with the family and Big Bear. Normally we
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: bring in the New Year and Big Bear and and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: uh sometimes there's snow. Sometimes there's not, and then we
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: get pots and pans because my son, he's just he's
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: nine now, but you know, going out and making noise
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: at midnight, and he thinks it's a real treat because
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: he doesn't get to stay up till midnight, so you.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Do it earlier.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: No, but I'm saying that he doesn't get to stay
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: up to midnight normally, so it's kind of a treat
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: for him. And you know, watch the movies and then
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: we count in and then I sweeched my wife and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and we bang some. Yeah, we have snack night, just
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: like buried snacks.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Are you going to do a version of that at
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: home tonight?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm maybe I should broadcast from home
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: tomorrow because I'm like, uh, I know, I like coming
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in thanks. It's it's always more fun when we're all together.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, I don't know how I'm gonna work yet.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I'm already tired thinking about it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I know it is a grind, but we do it
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: for the people. We do it for the KF.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It's you know, I like being here, and I like
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: being here on the holidays because I know we have
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you know, these great listeners that are very dedicated and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: listen to the station and I don't want to be
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: live and connect with them.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we love it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's all good. Let's let's start some of that,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: shall we? With the handle on the news lead story.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: All right, it's a gab news. He's mobilizing, well, checking
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: his hair and then he's mobilizing that look good. Okay,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: my voice sounds too smooth. Give me those rocks. Let
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: me gargle with him. Then I gargle with him.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Arat he's getting a little bit of the RFK voice.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Right, Oh, they got RFK is dying in front of us.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: His eyes I have a theory. His eyes are like,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you know, like U two celestial lorbs that are coming
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: together and when they meet, because they get closer every
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: time I see him. His eyes are closer together. They're
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: gonna meet and he's gonna implode in a ball of
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: fire and become one with the universe and it's just
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: going to be like his abs and he's going to
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: be like no more vaccine. So anyways, Newsome is preparing
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: because nobody prepared last January for possible problems. So Southern
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: California and beyond is prepared for the rain. Rains coming
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in about ten am today, I think is when we're
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: going to start seeing a little bit of that throughout
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the Southland. And the flood risks are what are horrible.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: As much as I love the rain and the weather,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that's what we're going to be looking out for today.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Alrighty. So we've been talking about this quite a bit
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: So the alleged fraud that's happening in Minnesota with the Daycares.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: The US Department of Health and Human Services now says
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: it has frozen all childcare payments to the state of
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Minnesota as the FBI and Department of Homeland Security investigate
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the allegations of fraud, including in some childcare centers.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And that is there.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I should say that this area, this particular area is
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: home to the country's largest Somali population, and Deputy Secretary
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: of HHS Jim O'Neil, announce the funding freeze on social
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: media this week. This comes weeks after ICE launched operations
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: in the Minneapolis Saint Paul area to target undocumented Somali immigrants.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I think, I think I know what I'm going to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: have tonight because I heard the largest Tamali population. When
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you said that, and I'm like, I'm like, wow, that
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: sounds great. The largest population. Why we have a problem
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: with that? Oh my lordy, alrighty, this is a sad story.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And boy man, this mountain continues to take lives. Mount
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Baldy beautiful, beautiful area and you know the foothills just
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: right off foot Hills and just gorgeous, but harsh weather there.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: A hiker fell near devil's backbone, anything with devil or
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: death or any of those things.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Bones, just I'm out, don't try to mount it, no climate.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Don't so Two other unidentified people were also found dead
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: on the mountain. It's one of the nation's deadliest peaks.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I mean you're talking experienced hikers have been lost there
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and some have died. The three men were found dead
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: there on Mountain Baldy on Monday. Winter storm up there
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: blanketed the peak because if you remember, the snow level
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I think was above seven thousand on this last storm.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And you know that's a pretty high peak there. But
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: beautiful area, lovely to hike. I just hiked lower, like
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a hike lower as you're going up to the mountain.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: But it's a gorgeous area. They got a great little
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: eatery up there. The lodge is great fun area to
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: hike around. And the little creeks down below. See some
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of the are they rams or mountain goats up there,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: but they have them the Yeah they've got the curly
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: little horns. But beautiful up there. But be careful. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: every time I read those stories, I just think, man,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that's what a horrible way to go.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Hikers are like bicyclists to me.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: They're just so dedicated and so intense about their desire
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: to get up in the mountains and walk. I just
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: it's not for me. So Rosebery is tomorrow. We've been
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: talking a lot about this. It could rain. It's almost
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent likely now that it is going to
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: rain for tomorrow, and so there's going to be a
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: lot of people out there on Colorado Boulevard. And yeah,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: they're expecting still people to be out there with barbecues,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: folding chairs, and coolers ahead of the one hundred and
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: thirty seventh Tournament of Roses parade. That means there's going
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: to be some street closures and other things you need
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: to know about. So the parade route begins at Orange
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Grove Boulevard and then we'll turn east onto Colorado before
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: ending at Sierra Madre Boulevard. Street closures are going to
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: begin tonight at ten o'clock and roadways will not reopen
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: until two o'clock on New Year's Day, so they're going
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: to be blocking traffic along that whole way. Just avoid
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: the area. If you're not planning to go to the
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Rose Parade, just avoid it. There's also apparently a five
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: k race at midnight. I didn't know they did that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Do five k?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah that sounds horrible.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, where do.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: So wait to say? You said barbecues. People are allowed
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to bring their head botchies. I thought that's a no no,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: it's well the La Times says this, people do it. Yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: so they may not be allowed to, but maybe they
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: do it anyway. I love the strange hypocrisy in this
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: town where it's like, uh, no camping on the sidewalks,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: but here's the tips and it's like, well, wait a second,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: what if I just tell them I'm homeless? Yeah, because
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: it's you know, they're cooking and peeing and wiring up.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: You see homeless folks taking the plates, the safety plates
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: off of lamp poles and using the wiring to hot
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: wire electrical gear. You see them taking off parts of
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the fire hydrants and piping in their own water from
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and it's like, but so help me, God, you bring
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: an umbrella, you're or you set up a tent and
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: you're not filthy or steeped in your own filth, You're out.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: You're out.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So you've got to prove.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: That, you know.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I was doing a deep dive on some rose great
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: history and I read that now marshmallows are no longer
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: like allowed, because apparently several years ago it became like
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: it was a tradition when people were barbecuing and grilling
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: out the night before, they were making s'mores and stuff,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: and they would start like throwing marshmallows like like confetti
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: during the parade. And now people are no longer allowed
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: to throw marshmallows.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: So everybody ruins it way to ruin it. It's the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: eighty twenty rule. Ten percent of the population ruins it
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: for the eighty percent. Always did they say, I know
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: you talked to someone this morning levens yes. And do
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: they say what expectations they have for diminished crowds? Do
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: they think that, like, oh, when it rains, we expect
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: ten percent less.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think they are.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I think that they're fully expecting people because people plan
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: for this for months, maybe a year, almost the whole year,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: because they've got people coming in from all over the country.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: So I mean, they might.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: See slightly less of a crowd, but I think they're
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: still expecting quite a few people to be out there,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: parents wanting to watch their kids, because all the marching
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: bands will be there from all over the country, the
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: equestrian units, all the floats, you know, the thousands of
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: people that work on the floats.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I think they're all expected to be there.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: So that's why they're still sending out all the preparation
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: information for people they're expecting it to be. I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: there might be a few less locals that will go,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: but there's still going to be quite a few people
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: from out of town that'll be there.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Fun story, I was broadcasting out there during the Tim and'
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: neil show days here on KFI. Out there in the evening.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: We were in a secured ish area with fencing, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I got rushed by somebody, I think a gang member
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: if I remember what, Yeah, well, I was live, I
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: was live on the air and I kind of walked
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: away from everybody and I think they're trying to rob.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: You can't remember how it went down, but I remember security.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: It took security a little bit to get to me,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and I think I dropped them Mike and had to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: tackle the guy. If I remember correctly, I had to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: drop on the guy and security was like, I think
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I was on the air and I'm like, hey, there's
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: some guy running at me. For I'm gonna have to
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: ask Michelle c because I bet you she was there.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But I I have a vague memory of being rushed
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: You just hear Neil yelling I just want to watch
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: the Rose.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: No it's on. If somebody's rushing at me, I'm like, okay,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: there's this isn't my choice, but it's gonna happen not me.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I was a pretty scrappy back then. I had I
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: had would often tell people they'll help people in the air. Well,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: you know when I get off and you know where
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I work, so.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just try to fight people. You're like, let's go.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I would a different person. I would be like nope,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: thanks no, the same person every day. I'd be like nope,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: thank you. No. I am stupid and fat and bald
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and ugly. Thank you, I'm out.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: But Beck, in the back of the day, you were like,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: it's on like donkeys.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, I have jumped during broadcast. The security used to
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: laugh about you know. They they come in after I
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: get there because I'm like, let's do this, not me.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I am running away in slow motion like Baymax. Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: All right, the Warner Brothers Discovery deal, it looks like
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: they are kind of in the stance to reject the
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: amended takeover offered by Paramount sky Dance last week, as
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: David Ellison keeps up his pursuit there and seeking those assets.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. But Bloomberg News reported just yesterday
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: that the board there at WBD was expected to reject
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the amended offer.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: So they're really trying.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's an interesting battle, and Heather and I
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: talked about it yesterday. But man, there's a lot of
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: st and there's a lot of unknown and fear behind
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: what could be should Netflix get a hold of that
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: deal or anybody, I guess, but we shall see, all right.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: A lawsuits in says that the La City ignored fire
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: safety as it allowed for other developments. So this is
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: a really complex issue, and we'll try to break it
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: down as much as we can here. But a new
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: lawsuit says the City of La repeatedly ignored state wildfire
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: safety regulations as it permitted new development in areas with
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: severe fire hazards. So this lawsuit was brought about by
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: the State Alliance for Fire Safe Road Regulations and the
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Federation of Hillside and Canyon Associations. These are two advocacy
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: groups for building regulations and.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Things like that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: So they provided seventy five examples of building permits and
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: other plans approved by the city that alleges violate excuse
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: me that alleged that these requirements were violated, and they
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: violated the minimum firesafe regulation. So basically, they're saying that
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: the city is ignoring these rules that are in place
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: and allowing homes and buildings to be built in dangerous
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: areas that are high highly prone to fire development. What
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I did, very inarticulately, was trying to explain that stuff.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I got it. I got it. I sifted through all that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: My coffee is still processing through my body this morning.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: One time things happen, stuff city, stuff come out there
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: city and bad, bad things back to you people mad
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: back to you and studio.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I think people got the gist of that.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: There's a lawsuit against the La City of La.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Nice summation people, mad lawsuit happening back to you and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: studio the end. All right, So Disney, we heard Disney
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: going back and forth about integrating Hulu into Disney Plus.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Why do I get the lawsuit? Store? You get Disney
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and Hulu? Come on, Matt, Matt Toppler, wtf.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Matt hates you. Here's a legal briefing. Please.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Uh the summer sixteen.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Paid story, Let's see, it was the best of times.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: It was the worst of times. So this is gonna
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: be a lot better sit down. So yeah, So Walt
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Disney Company on track to integrate that streaming platform, Hulu
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: with Disney Plus. They're looking to do this in twenty
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: twenty six, but there's no real date. They kind of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: have been shying away from any specifics here on what's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: going to go down. I think we're going to have,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: if not in twenty twenty six, maybe the year to
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: follows going to be an explosion here somewhere about streaming.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: It's just we're now paying more than we did for cable,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: which was a paid and many of them now have
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: commercials in addition to page Yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Like we're you know, everybody cut the cord from cable
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: years ago to save money because it was like five
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: ninety nine for such and such streaming service. Or I
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: signed up for Disney plus years ago when they first
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: launched it, and I got in at two ninety nine
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: a year and I signed for three years.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: That is a steal. You cannot find that with any
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: of the streaming services.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I think we were in very beginning. Yeah, and now
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: what is it like? Is it twenty bucks for no
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: it's got maybe twenty or hovering around twenty maybe.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Let's see Disney, ok I have so many subscriptions everyone,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: so so many? All right, So Disney Basic with ads
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: is twelve dollars a month with ads with ads, Disney
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Premium no Disney Plus Premium with no ads eighteen.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Ninety nine a month.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: That's what we're paying. Yeah.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: So and then if you get Disney with Hulu with
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: no ads, twenty bucks a month.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, So that's it because we we got we had
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: had Hulu and we cambine them and all of that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it just just gonna keep going up.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting to the point where it's gonna be
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: ridiculous and you're gonna have to pick one. I mean,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Disney's gonna be a big one for us. But we're
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: gonna start doing that thing that if there's a show
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: on there that you like, then you're just gonna not
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: watch it, yeah, or just watch it for that show
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: when the season ends, canceled those.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Well, do you think that we might see a swing
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: back to cable? Do you think people are gonna get
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: so fed up with all of the minuscule like bumps
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: and increases and how much we're paying that eventually it's
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: gonna come full circle and people are gonna go, you
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: know what, I'm just gonna pay my one hundred bucks
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: seventy five bucks for two hundred channels of cable.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: It may be, oh, because cable doesn't really own the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: stations anymore. I mean, as far as they're they're not
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the content. They don't have the content anymore.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: It's these Cable does like.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: But the individual companies are saying, we're are streaming, so
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: they're not they're going.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: To pull like TLC.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll just say, hey, we won't put them on
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: anywhere else, I think we are going to get fed
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: up because we already are and I'm already looking at
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: getting rid of subscriptions.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Yes we are too, because and.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I find stuff like I'll go, what am I paying
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: twenty five bucks a month on it? And I'll look
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and it's like, you know, designs like apps and stuff
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: that I use to design stuff, And I'm like, but
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I use that maybe twice a year. So I'm looking
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: at those things, and I think when it comes to entertainment,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: it's just gotten to the point where you can't have
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: twenty big name twenty dollars items a month for TV.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I think maybe they're thinking, with all this consolidation,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: then you've only you only have like two or three
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: like because if you have Disney and you have ESPN,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: who on there live TV? And then you know who
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: has live TV with it?
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: If you have all of.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: That in the one app, So maybe they're thinking, oh, well,
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: people will just need our app.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what they're trying to do. That's what is
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: always going to happen. However, to your first question, I
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: think somebody won't be cable as we know it. Things
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: never come back pure ever, they always go through cycle
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: fashions the same way. If it comes back new, it's
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: going to be with something old. So years ago, you'd
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: get new cuts with eighties colors, or you'll get seventies
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: cuts with a different You know, they come back. They
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: never come back pure again, but there might be a
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: new type of cable where they're going, hey, we're going
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: to compete, and this is what it is. Yeah, you know,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Netflix wasn't on the horizon at all. That reminds me.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I got to return a couple of DVDs. Oh dear,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I'll get them in the mayor.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Remember that it was they used to give those away.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: They go here, take them.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're like, that's not a problem, all right.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: So we mentioned a couple of times umbrellas are not
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: permitted along the Rose Parade Route.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Marshmallows or covers that hellos. Yep.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: So if you're planning to head out to the Rose
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Parried Route, the city officials say, do not bring yo umbrella.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Grab a poncho a rain jacket. They don't want you
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: blocking the view for all of the millions of people
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: they're expecting.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Ponchos. I gotta tell you. Go on Amazon. You could
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: buy them in bulk best thing ever if you have.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: A kid who needs I'm like, who would need bulk ponchos.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. It was my son's birthday in November
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: and it rained on his birthday, and we're going back
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: and forth. We looked into having it indoors a couple places,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: but he likes to do like outdoorsy things, and last
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: year we did a he wanted to have a melee
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: that was his wish, like a forty person melee, so.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Like shaving cream and like silly string and.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Water fight swords and shields. Oh swords and that is
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: their foam but they're you know, swords and shields. And
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the parents loved it. Everybody got into it was a
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. Well, he wanted to do it again
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: this year, but it rained, so we got ponchos so

  Speaker 2: it was swords, shields, big I brought out big strobe
• 25:18

  Speaker 2: Yeah, you nailed it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Woh yeah, I had to say it real slow though.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you nailed it. That's I remember. Seventy six
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: was a big deal. Seventy six was huge. I think
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: we went I think we went to uh, Magic Mountain.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: We went to Magic Mountain, and that's when I first
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: got into magic. I think because Blackstone Junior did a
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: magic show.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: There.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Huh, there you go. Think you just learned a little
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: something about me. Someone likes that. Speaking of that, if
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: you'd like to ask any of us a question for Friday,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: you can go. If you're listening to us on Theheart
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: radio app. You'll see a red button with the icon
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: of a Mikey at thirty seconds to ask a question
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: of Kono or Will or Matthew or Heather or me
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and we'll answer them. On Friday, it'll be a good time.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Head by all.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: It will be a good time, all right, you know
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: it's not having a good time. Was the lapd a
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: while back. Apparently some copper wire thieves stole copper wire.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: That's what copper wire thieves do.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: That it is what they do and end of story.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Back to you, No they still.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: We're giving you the simple ones now, thank you. Copper
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: wire thieves steal copper back to you, bye bye.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: The copper wire thieves, the why are that they stole
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: had an impact on the communications tower in Alesion Park
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: and it left several departments with inoperable radios. So the
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: police were unable to call for assistance through their radios
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: because these copper wire thieves had taken the copper wire
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: from that in fact, then pacted the tower.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: See at this point that just becalled it becomes domestic
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: terrorism when you start taking down communication systems or things
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: like that. It's I have very little sympathy for this,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and you have to nail the people that are processing
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: this stuff, that are taking it in, melting it down.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: And because these are recycling centers, what they are.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Someone is now, where are they taking their take?
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, do they take to the same metal place the.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Place people go with the cans?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it would be some it will
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: do certain medals in some won't. So it's maybe not
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: your neighborhood one. But and I'm not saying that recycling
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: places are shady, but if you've ever gone to recycle anything.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we've actually caught people digging in our
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: personal trash cans before. My husband's had to go out
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: there and be like, hey, can you not dig in
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: our I mean, and we don't. We just live in
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: on like an average street. But there's people that push
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: their shopping carts. I've seen them.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a normal thing in my bood.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: No, what we do is we put all the recyclables
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: that are not cardboard and things like that, the cans
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: and stuff. We put them separately in a bag and
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I put them on the top.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: So you just make it easy for them to dig
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: through your trash.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Because to me, that's somebody. There's somebody working. No, to me,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I'd rather have that than you know, some homeless person
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: strung out on the corner. If this is somebody who's
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: going around and collecting that, I make it as easy
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: as possible for them so they don't have to dig
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: through it. This is not a joke. My wife and
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I do that. We separate it. We put all the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: cardboard on the bottom, and then I put all the
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: recyclables on top for anybody that wants to come by
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and grab them. They don't have to dig through everything,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: because to me, those people look like they're I don't know,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: busting their hump trying. Yeah I do, but it's in
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: a bag on top. It's separated already for them to
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: take and grab if they wanted, without having to go
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: through the trash. I don't know. I see it as
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a form of work. It's not like I see strung
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: out guys grabbing one or two, you know, now if
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: they go up. We have a long driveway, not a
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: fancy home by any stretch, but no, it's a it's
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: it's just old school LA where they had these long
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: driving You have a long driveway and if somebody goes
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: up to the house, I'm like, no, Yeah, when you
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: start triggering security, I'm like, nah, you gotta you gotta book.
