Speaker 1 (00:00):
Los Angeles, Orange County, I E in the Valley. This
is Tawalla Sharp and you're listening to KFI AM six
forty Soul Cal Saturday on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We lead local live in the CAMFI twenty for our newsroom.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I'm Jackie Ray that a d KF I AM six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and acting the
Leona Valley, Anaheim and Palm Desert.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is Soul Cal Saturday.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Welcome to another fantastically curated show put together by super
producer Kayla Kayla Austin, Thank you again for another fantastic show.
I love what we have laid out for today. Lots
of fun. Well maybe not fun for the folks at Disney,
but still the show is fun. And you know Disney, look,
(00:49):
they have been killing it at the box office. They
have literally the highest grossing animated film ever with Inside
Out Too. Loved Inside Out Too and now the highest
grossing rated R film ever and on his way to
setting more records than any other R rated film release
(01:12):
with Dead Pul Wolverine.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Which was exceptional.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Dead Pul Wolverine was the absolute truth come true for
any Marvel fan Ryan Reynolds. He said it in the trailer,
and it's true. He is Marvel Jesus. I mean, man,
this film has righted the boat for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But still that has not prevented Disney from laying off
(01:37):
some one hundred and forty people this past week. On
top of all of this magnificent success. Disney's like, well,
these layoffs are still coming. All that success is not
stopping these layoffs which hit the workforce this past Wednesday,
approximately one hundred forty employees, or they say two percent
(01:58):
of its workforce, as if that it's a small number
compared to the number of people that were let go.
Were let go in the television division, no teams are
being eliminated, but National Geographic locally here in the Southland basically,
and stations like free Form and others were cut hard.
(02:19):
They had the largest reduction in staff, with some sixty employees,
or about thirteen percent of the entire team let go.
But I mean, really, okay, how many of us that
have the Disney Plus app are really checking out anything
happening on National Geographic? I mean really, I mean when
(02:39):
the magazine went under, you knew that that was saying something.
I mean, people aren't down with the magazine even in
an online format. Yeah, I mean, look, look, I love
that National Geographic is trying to let us know what's
happening in the world at large, the world where we
live in and loving the planet.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But did stop those cuts?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Speaking of cuts, well, it's not necessarily a cut, but
I guess head off potential cuts. Hollywood video game actors
have hit the picket lines right here, just right around
the corner from we are, over like at Warner brother
Studios and some of the other studios in the area.
A lot of voice actors on strike over concerns of
(03:22):
usage of AI when it comes to video games. Now
the cuts at Disney that's right down the street from us,
and then right around on the other side, we have
people actually on the picket line right now, hundreds of
video game performers picketing outside Warner Brothers Studio to say
that we are not necessarily essentially comfortable with the usage
(03:46):
of AI and how we are not necessarily protected at
least in terms of this. Yes, they can protect their
the use of themselves. You know, you can't if I'm
a video actor, you can't just use toola sharpen my
voice with whatever. But what AI potentially does is cut
(04:08):
out the need for me at all. You could use
an AI generated character and get an AI generated voice,
and you may just get rid of people all together.
So yes, I understand why they're out on strike and
I am in full support of it, because you got
you gotta fight for. You gotta fight for what's right,
You gotta fight for what you believe in. Unfortunately, I
(04:32):
believe a lot of Hollywood, and this is just just
truth be told here, a lot of Hollywood is going
to be looking like factories in Detroit. You know, when
those auto factories went away because of automation. A lot
of those jobs didn't come back and they will not
be coming back. These companies are not going to go
back and say, you know what, we can do things
(04:56):
cheaper and use robots and things like that, but we've
really like having the people around.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
No, they're not gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm sorry they're not an Unfortunately, this is what we're
seeing now when it comes to AI in Hollywood and
things like that, and it's one of those things where
talent below the line in front of the camera and
all that we're gonna have to really start looking at
ways to really take what we do to the next level,
(05:24):
to the point where we can hold off AI's advancement
for another you know, five ten years. But AI is
working faster than us human beings, so that's tough. There
another strike related kind of story fast food workers. Remember
(05:45):
they were talking about going on strike and they were
fighting for this minimum wage increase, and yes they got it.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
They wanted, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
The increase from sixteen to twenty dollars an hour, and
they've got it. There are there are more more profitable
jobs working fast food than most any other place. Seriously,
I mean, you're making more money now at McDonald's than honestly,
truth be told, at like being a teacher assistant and
damn near being a teacher. I mean, it's like it's
(06:12):
hard to compete with and there's a lot less stress
flipping burgers. But but they actually are looking for another
minimum wage increase. Yeah, I guess when they went to
the table and they said what they wanted, they didn't
say everything they wanted. Which to me, if you come
to me and you say, hey, tea, I need to
borrow twenty dollars, all right, cool? I give you that twenty.
(06:34):
Don't come to me next week and say, ah, man,
I need like another three or four dollars. No, tell
me what you need up front, because the next time
you come to me, I'm gonna say what you do
with the twenty dollars I gave you?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You spent it all?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
What are you doing with your life? You asked for
the twenty I gave it to you. What And this
is me talking to my son, right, Okay, So I'm
just saying, you know, ask for what you need up front.
Don't keep coming because the next time you come and
you say, look, we want to get to say twenty
seventy by January first, twenty twenty five, So you want
(07:06):
another seventy cents to keep up with the rising cost
of living, just make your request incremental based on the
cost of living. Don't put a fixed number on it.
Just say we want gradual increases to go coincide with
cost of living. Because once you say twenty seventy, okay,
(07:28):
you know, we don't know what California is going to
be looking like in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It may be.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Where you need a good twenty three dollars, But now
you're stuck at the twenty seventy. Okay, watch California say,
get out of here. Don't keep coming to us with
more money or asking for it and really, tally, here's
my thing, here's my issue with this. Okay, they're asking
for more money. Okay, granted, cost of living is up,
you want more money. What I don't understand is why
(07:53):
service has not gone up. Okay, if you're asking for
more money for more cost of living, I think that
this good service should be commiserate with this increase of
your I shouldn't go to any fast food place and
you sitting there with a sucking lemon face.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What do you want here? Here's your order?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What I would fire individuals for the attitudes that they're having.
I'm paying you twenty dollars an hour. I'm sitting thinking,
am I going to have to close franchises? And you're
giving piss poor service?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Man, Now you're not gonna ask for more money and
have bad service.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Okay, I think that should be commiserate.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You get more money, you better be smiling and treating
every customer that comes through like they are your dear
beloved grandmother.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Seriously, and lastly, in this soul cal roundup. There is
a new limit on rent increases that went into effect yesterday,
I believe. And it's interesting because it's not necessarily a
good thing. It's weird, right, It's weird because starting in August,
(08:57):
like August first, the maximum rent in for both LA
and Orange Counties is eight point nine percent, which is
a slight increase from last year's eight point eight percent.
And the cap will stay in place until August twenty
twenty five. So your rent can still go up from
where it is right now another eight point nine percent.
(09:19):
And that's just in LA and Orange County. Outside of that,
it can go up some ten percent if you're say
in Santa Barbara or Ventura or you know, uh, San Fernando. Look,
rent increases, I know they're a pain, and I know
everyone is complaining about the cost of rent. I just
(09:39):
want to remind you all, anyone, maybe not you, but
anyone you know that has been complaining about the cost
of living in California and rent increases and things like that.
We could have stopped that if we would have voted
on capping rent increases as a whole. But you know what,
we shot that down, not once, but twice. We as
(10:01):
the apathetic voters that we are, we don't want to
show up and show out to keep rent at a
low fee here in southern California.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So yeah, we get what we get.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
This is KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You're listening to soul Cal Saturday with Tawala Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio
app and Aguadulce, Monrovia Data Point and San Bernard Dino.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
This is soul Cal Saturday.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I'm your host, Twala Sharp, taking yes, a look at
the heat and my favorite subject, closed beaches. I love it.
The heat is serious. The heat is absolutely serious, and
we are about to hit what's being reported as a
potentially dangerous level of heat combined with elevated surf. This
(11:10):
week and alone, we are looking at some hundred degree
weather according to the National Weather Service, blistering temperatures resulting
in high pressure systems, which of course are going to
lead to high high surfs. And the high surfs are
really and truly nothing to play with at all. I mean,
(11:33):
if you have been following the news, you know that
recently there was a young man. Got to look up
his name who will actually, I think when I last
looked at the report, they had not released his name,
even though a lot of class members are new. But
it was a kid, you know, teenager, sophomore, who was
(11:53):
out for night swim with some friends and he was just,
you know, the waves took him man, And I think that.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Trying to look it up, look up the information on that.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But regardless, the loss of life and the potential loss
of life due to high surfs is nothing to play with,
nothing to joke about. And even the best swimmers sometimes
with waves like this and rip tides like this, if
the best of surfers can are the best of swimmers,
(12:28):
I'm sorry it can be taken out to see. But
that combined with the fact that we are looking at
heat ranging you know, from one hundred and two one
hundred and nine in the valleys Las nineties ninety fours,
I mean, it's just it's going to be hot all over.
Riverside of course, is going to be right next to hell,
(12:50):
and the deserts are actually going to be the devil's
playground because you know, there are folks who are getting
their feet melted off walking around in some of the Yes,
it's hod as hell, but still it's not a reason
to run to the water.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Okay, because yes, once.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Again, several beaches this week have issued public health warnings
due to high bacteria levels in the water, bacteria and sewage.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I e.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Poop all right, Lost Floris Creek, Walnut Cove, Solstice Creek,
Castle Rock Storm drained to paint the Canyon beach. Just basically,
the entire southern California coast is filled with bacteria. So
you know, if you want to get in the water,
more power to you. But I can tell you this
(13:45):
when you see that dozens of six sea lions have
been showing up on California beaches. These are creatures of
the sea, and they have been showing up on the
beaches getting out of the water, sick and dying. Sea
lions showing up along the Ventura and Santa Barbara coos
over this past week alone. That's a problem. That's a problem.
(14:09):
And guess where they're getting sick. They're not getting sick
because they've eaten bad food. Not getting sick because they've
eaten some bad fish. No, no, no, bad sushi in
the water. These sea lions are getting sick because the
water is grow tesque. And if sea lions creatures of
the sea are getting out of the water and just saying, blanket,
(14:29):
I'm gonna go up and die on the sand, then
why is you getting in the water. I don't understand it.
If the sea lions trust the animals, trust mother nature.
If the sea lions are telling you don't get in
the water, it's bad, don't get in the water, all right,
don't get And also if you see a six sea lion,
(14:52):
do not approach them, do not try to go and
throw water on them. Don't know, don't do that. Call
you know, Marine and Wildlife Rescue hotline at eight oh
five five six seven fifteen oh five UH or for
more information you can go to CIMWI dot org and
(15:15):
report sixty lines there. But don't just try to catch
them and play with them and put them back in
the water. This seems will attack you. Not only that
they're sick, why would you go near them. But I've
seen some pictures of folks online on the socials trying
to like throw buckets of water on them, and it's like, fool.
Don't you understand they're trying to get out of the water.
(15:36):
Why are you throwing filthy ocean water off the I
can't take it. I can't take it with us sometimes,
all right, stay out of the water, unless unless, unless
you are going to go and check out the the
Huntington Beach US Open of Surfing.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
We're gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And actually some great beaches here in southern California infected
with poot water or not, there's still great beaches where
we talking about that.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
On the other side, you're listening to soul Cal Saturday
with Tawala Sharp on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Kfive Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
and Alambra, San Dimas Fuller ten and Red Lens.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
This is soul Cal Saturday.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I'm your host, Twyla Sharp, and I am not all
against water. I know we had to talk back last week.
I believe you know, young lady called in to say
that her sister bays or cleanses her soul on this
filthy ocean water. You know, so God bless you if
that's what you're into and you're down with that and
you want the six Sea Lion water on your body, Okay,
(16:57):
no problem, go for it. But I'm not all against
water and the beaches here in southern California. Like the
Huntington Beach US Open of Surfing right it's kicked off
this weekend alone, and this is a massive, massive beach bash, food,
fun festivities. All this going on in Huntington Beach as
(17:21):
the twenty twenty four LEXUS US Open of Surfing kicks
off today.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Kicked off today.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's the world's largest surfing competition, attracting world class surfers
from around the world. Aside from surfing, there is about
fourteen or so acres of beach where you have booths
offering merch, demos, freebies, skateboarding, music concerts and all. There's
(17:49):
even a beach bar. They're opening up a bar on
the beach because that's what we need, drunk people on
the sand, throwing up, leaving their bottles on the beach,
adding to the film. But no, no, that's not what
I'm talking about here. That's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
The US Open of Surfing is and must attend event
if you are down with surfing and and it's happening
right now.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You can find out all the information.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
On the US Open and surfing at SURFCITYUSA dot com.
Ford Slash Events for Slash Annual Events Festival. Okay, look,
just go to SURFCITYUSA dot com and you will find
everything you need to know about that. And there actually
are some really really beautiful beaches here in southern California,
(18:40):
even if you just want to go with the family,
throw a blanket on the sand and just watch the
waves come crashing in.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I like doing stuff like that. To me that that's
actually really cool. So one of the.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Beaches that you that you should maybe check out if
you're going and checking out the waters and that's what
you want to do. Broad Beach. Broad Beach. Now, I
have not checked out Broad Beach. And it's not like
broad like an offensive term for women. No, it's just
Broad Beach. It's a pretty beach with less people, you
(19:11):
know in Malibu. It doesn't have amenities like restrooms or
a parking lot, which kind of bad. No restroom, it's
kind of bad where you're using the restroom, you're going
into the water. So what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.
But it's one of those beach areas that's kind of
in between homes where you into like go down a
little staircase one of those a little private like beaches.
(19:34):
There are tide pools near the La Kunsa Beach or
maybe I'm mispronouncing that Lacunza lacuns Let's just say Lacunza.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Capistrano Beach Park Capastrna Beach Park is a place that
I'd like to attend, just because I've heard it's really
really beautiful. It's in Dana Point, not too crowded, family
friendly beach, easy access to the beach. Fishing is even
permitted there, so that's kind of nice. El Pescador State Beach.
Never been to El Pescador, No, No, It's a nice
(20:10):
secluded beach, has a quiet, natural beauty. Okay, Okay, that's
maybe worth checking out if you want to get in
Hermosa Beach. Yeah, I've been to Hermosa Beach. Really really
like Hermosa Beach. It is a very clean beach place
where you can definitely go with the family, volleyball, surfing,
(20:30):
a lot of popular things out there, and there's also
a lot of eateries around Hermosa Beach. Lunada Bay I'm
not familiar with Lunada Bay. But this is on the
list of some of Southern California's most beautiful beaches. It's
a Palace Verdia State Beach. Oh, that's probably why I
(20:51):
don't go to Palace verdas often. Yeah, I don't feel
that comfortable there. But you know, hey, that that is
one of those beaches. I would say, I don't know,
maybe check it out. But you know, there's that video
of that lady going around be trying to rope off
her property, you know, a little while ago, in the news,
(21:13):
and I just think that this beach, it seems like
one of those kinds I may avoid that one. Mandalay Beach. Yes,
Mandalay Beach is solid that is over towards the ox
Nart area. It's also known as ox Star State Beach.
I've seen that and I've wanted to get get out
the water, but I was out ox Star for other reasons.
(21:34):
I was like, oh, man, I really want to go there.
But it is a really really nice looking beach. Ocean
side City beach, ocean Side City Beach, Okay, nice sidewalks
along the strand firings, wheelchair access to the playground equipment
and to the beach, and I think that is paramount.
I think more beaches need to install these wheelchair access ramps.
(22:02):
And it's kind of like this pattern that goes out
over the sand to allow individuals and winches to get
further out into the sand and make it easier for
them to access it. That that I think is a
plus and not reason alone to check out Ocean Side Beach.
Pirate's Cove. Pirate's Cove is cool just because it says
Pirate's Cove. I love pirates. I love all things having
(22:22):
to do with pirates. I'm a huge fan of the
Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise just because I love
pirate life. I love the lawlessness of it. Fow Man,
if I was born back in the days of pirate,
I would be a scourge of the sea, even though
even though I have a fear of deep water. But
I would think that I would like dock my ship
(22:44):
at shore and I would just terrorize the shore and
they would be like, ah, there's Blackbeard Sharp or maybe
just black Sharp. I don't know what they would call me.
But I love the whole concept of pirates and all that.
So Pirates Beach, I would say that right there is
the top of the list. Check out Pirate's Code Beach.
(23:05):
It's also re Dondo Beach, T Street Beach, whatever, T
Street Beach, and Westward Beach. And yeah, maybe super producer
Kayla can post some of the details on these beaches
on our web page. Whatever you do, make sure you
do it safely. If you're heading to the water to
stay out of the heater to maybe cool off. Again,
(23:28):
make sure you are aware of high tide warnings. Make
sure you're paying attention to any signs that are placed
along the shoreline warning of contamination and things like that,
because you actually can get really, really sick. And that's
your public service announcement about going to any beach here
in southern California.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
This is KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
You're listening to Soul Cal Saturday with Tawalla Sharp on
demand from kay six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere all the iHeartRadio app
in El Serino, Sawtel, Laguna Miguel and Marino Valley. This
is so Cal Saturday. I'm your host Twalla Sharp, and
I want to get the opinion of the ladies in
(24:34):
the building. We've got miss Jackie Ray and super producer Kayla.
I'm curious to know what you all think of this phenomenon.
Feminine nomenon, feminine.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Look.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Okay, California's first women's sports bar. Okay, California now has
the very first all women's sports bar. Why sports bar
opened up last Friday in Long Beach, Jackie's hometown there
and the LBC, and this sports bar is designed to
(25:13):
be a supportive, all all whole places for just uh
for just women, all right. And I think that that
it's a novel idea, and I think that I guess
maybe it's a safe place for women to go and
enjoy sports without men turning to you saying, okay, so
what just happened this play?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
And you know you don't have any man's playing.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I guess it's just, you know, a place where women
can be rowdy and support their favorite teams and all that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
And fill themselves.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Jackie, you as not only a sports analyst, commentator and
a athlete yourself. What is your thoughts on this Watch
Me sports Bar?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
First of all, I am super over the moon excited
about this because, for for reasons can completely opposite of
what you just said. I am one of those like
diehard sports fans. I know stats, I try to really
know who does what, who plays best at different positions.
That has gotten me into so much trouble at sports.
(26:14):
Just knowing sports inside and out. It has put me
in situations where men want to fight me and shut
me in. Yeah, men, grown men, And I'm like, if
you want to fight me, I'm gonna think I can
beat you.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Cause why you want to fight a girl? Like, what's
wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
It's put me in situations where women think I'm trying
to take their man. And now I am a trash talker, right,
Like if you think you know your stuff and then
Lebron go, you talk especially I'm a King James fan, right,
So if you talk stuff about Lebron and then he
go dunk on your best player, I'm giving you the
steak guy, and people can't take.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
The steak guy.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
So being in a situation women, we can talk trash.
Now I will say, y'all argue better and then get
over it much better than we do. But we can
be in a situation with total strangers and just be like,
oh girl, you was right, you know what I mean?
Like instead of taking it personal, like we can just
stay calm and ignore. Oh I didn't even know that
he could do that, girl, Like, we can just have
(27:03):
a good time. I am so especially for the novice
sports fan who's just getting to learn things. They're not
going to be looked down on. They're probably gonna learn
something absolutely different about whatever sport they're going in there
to see. They're probably gonna watch a lot of w
NBA games. It's gonna be another spike for that I am.
I don't know if you can hear in my voice,
but I'm excited about it in your voice.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I mean like, and to think that with that level
of excitement and what this means for women's ability to
go and just as you said, have a place of
their own to just say like, look, this is our zone, y'all, dude,
stay out here. And again, this is not, uh, something
sexual as I've seen somebody say, oh great, you know
(27:45):
we have a spot that some people have li liken
it to Peanuts, which was a lesbian club here in
So cal Longo.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
And I'm like, it's not that, Fellas.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's literally a safe hanger for women to go talk
their trash, talk their talk their sports with each other
end just not have as you said, dudes, you know,
talking about step outside like why.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Like why like that?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
See that's that bear problem. That's why we choose the bear.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Oh that's why you choose the bear, not the beauty.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
I'm just as somebody who doesn't watch sports. Now this bar,
is it just playing women's sports or only women are
allowed to at this bar?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Only women are It's not just playing okay, it's all sports.
It is just a bar just for women, period is
it is? And this is not some we hate men.
This is like, how about we have a place of
our own?
Speaker 6 (28:36):
And I think sometimes people forget to outside of the
sports aspect of it. You know, Caitlin and I have
talked about this. Sometimes it's just really hard to make
friends in this city. So having a place to go
where you know, especially girlfriends. In this business, it's a
male dominated business. So yeah, I have a lot of
male colleagues and things of that nature, but true girlfriends,
it's hard to make friends in this city. So just
(28:57):
having a place where you know, you can just wake
up and just roll out be like I'm gonna go
make some friends today.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
It's awesome. I love it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I think a place like this she needs to franchise immediately.
Like I know this, you got everyone headed into Long Beach.
But there's a lot of women all over the Southland
who would love to be able to check this out
and can't make it.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
This love to Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Look, I don't drive to Long Beach for any reason,
just because the drive. But if there's something like this
in LA, something like this, you know in Van Eyes,
I'm sure this would absolutely pop. This seems like this
is the next franchise opportunity for female business owners.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Well, that'll be a question. I asked her.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
She's gonna be on my podcast next month. Why so
I'm gonna ask the owners that. Yeah, yeah, y'all make
sure you check out Jackie Ray TV. She is going
to be on, I believe on actually the end of
this month, So the last Wednesday of this month, she'll
be on the show. Jackieratv dot com is where the
website will be, but it's also on iHeartRadio, you know hi,

Oh, we will absolutely absolutely be shouting that out. Canda
got to put that on the coundar so we can
make sure we let everyone know to check that out.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
And thank you Jackie for taking the time to us.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is Soul Cal Saturday.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Welcome to another fantastically curated show put together by super
producer Kayla Kayla Austin, Thank you again for another fantastic show.
I love what we have laid out for today. Lots
of fun. Well maybe not fun for the folks at Disney,
but still the show is fun. And you know Disney, look,
(00:49):
they have been killing it at the box office. They
have literally the highest grossing animated film ever with Inside
Out Too. Loved Inside Out Too and now the highest
grossing rated R film ever and on his way to
setting more records than any other R rated film release
(01:12):
with Dead Pul Wolverine.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Which was exceptional.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Dead Pul Wolverine was the absolute truth come true for
any Marvel fan Ryan Reynolds. He said it in the trailer,
and it's true. He is Marvel Jesus. I mean, man,
this film has righted the boat for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But still that has not prevented Disney from laying off
(01:37):
some one hundred and forty people this past week. On
top of all of this magnificent success. Disney's like, well,
these layoffs are still coming. All that success is not
stopping these layoffs which hit the workforce this past Wednesday,
approximately one hundred forty employees, or they say two percent
(01:58):
of its workforce, as if that it's a small number
compared to the number of people that were let go.
Were let go in the television division, no teams are
being eliminated, but National Geographic locally here in the Southland basically,
and stations like free Form and others were cut hard.
(02:19):
They had the largest reduction in staff, with some sixty employees,
or about thirteen percent of the entire team let go.
But I mean, really, okay, how many of us that
have the Disney Plus app are really checking out anything
happening on National Geographic? I mean really, I mean when
(02:39):
the magazine went under, you knew that that was saying something.
I mean, people aren't down with the magazine even in
an online format. Yeah, I mean, look, look, I love
that National Geographic is trying to let us know what's
happening in the world at large, the world where we
live in and loving the planet.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But did stop those cuts?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Speaking of cuts, well, it's not necessarily a cut, but
I guess head off potential cuts. Hollywood video game actors
have hit the picket lines right here, just right around
the corner from we are, over like at Warner brother
Studios and some of the other studios in the area.
A lot of voice actors on strike over concerns of
(03:22):
usage of AI when it comes to video games. Now
the cuts at Disney that's right down the street from us,
and then right around on the other side, we have
people actually on the picket line right now, hundreds of
video game performers picketing outside Warner Brothers Studio to say
that we are not necessarily essentially comfortable with the usage
(03:46):
of AI and how we are not necessarily protected at
least in terms of this. Yes, they can protect their
the use of themselves. You know, you can't if I'm
a video actor, you can't just use toola sharpen my
voice with whatever. But what AI potentially does is cut
(04:08):
out the need for me at all. You could use
an AI generated character and get an AI generated voice,
and you may just get rid of people all together.
So yes, I understand why they're out on strike and
I am in full support of it, because you got
you gotta fight for. You gotta fight for what's right,
You gotta fight for what you believe in. Unfortunately, I
(04:32):
believe a lot of Hollywood, and this is just just
truth be told here, a lot of Hollywood is going
to be looking like factories in Detroit. You know, when
those auto factories went away because of automation. A lot
of those jobs didn't come back and they will not
be coming back. These companies are not going to go
back and say, you know what, we can do things
(04:56):
cheaper and use robots and things like that, but we've
really like having the people around.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
No, they're not gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm sorry they're not an Unfortunately, this is what we're
seeing now when it comes to AI in Hollywood and
things like that, and it's one of those things where
talent below the line in front of the camera and
all that we're gonna have to really start looking at
ways to really take what we do to the next level,
(05:24):
to the point where we can hold off AI's advancement
for another you know, five ten years. But AI is
working faster than us human beings, so that's tough. There
another strike related kind of story fast food workers. Remember
(05:45):
they were talking about going on strike and they were
fighting for this minimum wage increase, and yes they got it.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
They wanted, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
The increase from sixteen to twenty dollars an hour, and
they've got it. There are there are more more profitable
jobs working fast food than most any other place. Seriously,
I mean, you're making more money now at McDonald's than honestly,
truth be told, at like being a teacher assistant and
damn near being a teacher. I mean, it's like it's
(06:12):
hard to compete with and there's a lot less stress
flipping burgers. But but they actually are looking for another
minimum wage increase. Yeah, I guess when they went to
the table and they said what they wanted, they didn't
say everything they wanted. Which to me, if you come
to me and you say, hey, tea, I need to
borrow twenty dollars, all right, cool? I give you that twenty.
(06:34):
Don't come to me next week and say, ah, man,
I need like another three or four dollars. No, tell
me what you need up front, because the next time
you come to me, I'm gonna say what you do
with the twenty dollars I gave you?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You spent it all?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
What are you doing with your life? You asked for
the twenty I gave it to you. What And this
is me talking to my son, right, Okay, So I'm
just saying, you know, ask for what you need up front.
Don't keep coming because the next time you come and
you say, look, we want to get to say twenty
seventy by January first, twenty twenty five, So you want
(07:06):
another seventy cents to keep up with the rising cost
of living, just make your request incremental based on the
cost of living. Don't put a fixed number on it.
Just say we want gradual increases to go coincide with
cost of living. Because once you say twenty seventy, okay,
(07:28):
you know, we don't know what California is going to
be looking like in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It may be.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Where you need a good twenty three dollars, But now
you're stuck at the twenty seventy. Okay, watch California say,
get out of here. Don't keep coming to us with
more money or asking for it and really, tally, here's
my thing, here's my issue with this. Okay, they're asking
for more money. Okay, granted, cost of living is up,
you want more money. What I don't understand is why
(07:53):
service has not gone up. Okay, if you're asking for
more money for more cost of living, I think that
this good service should be commiserate with this increase of
your I shouldn't go to any fast food place and
you sitting there with a sucking lemon face.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What do you want here? Here's your order?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What I would fire individuals for the attitudes that they're having.
I'm paying you twenty dollars an hour. I'm sitting thinking,
am I going to have to close franchises? And you're
giving piss poor service?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Man, Now you're not gonna ask for more money and
have bad service.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Okay, I think that should be commiserate.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You get more money, you better be smiling and treating
every customer that comes through like they are your dear
beloved grandmother.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Seriously, and lastly, in this soul cal roundup. There is
a new limit on rent increases that went into effect yesterday,
I believe. And it's interesting because it's not necessarily a
good thing. It's weird, right, It's weird because starting in August,
(08:57):
like August first, the maximum rent in for both LA
and Orange Counties is eight point nine percent, which is
a slight increase from last year's eight point eight percent.
And the cap will stay in place until August twenty
twenty five. So your rent can still go up from
where it is right now another eight point nine percent.
(09:19):
And that's just in LA and Orange County. Outside of that,
it can go up some ten percent if you're say
in Santa Barbara or Ventura or you know, uh, San Fernando. Look,
rent increases, I know they're a pain, and I know
everyone is complaining about the cost of rent. I just
(09:39):
want to remind you all, anyone, maybe not you, but
anyone you know that has been complaining about the cost
of living in California and rent increases and things like that.
We could have stopped that if we would have voted
on capping rent increases as a whole. But you know what,
we shot that down, not once, but twice. We as
(10:01):
the apathetic voters that we are, we don't want to
show up and show out to keep rent at a
low fee here in southern California.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So yeah, we get what we get.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
This is KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You're listening to soul Cal Saturday with Tawala Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio
app and Aguadulce, Monrovia Data Point and San Bernard Dino.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
This is soul Cal Saturday.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I'm your host, Twala Sharp, taking yes, a look at
the heat and my favorite subject, closed beaches. I love it.
The heat is serious. The heat is absolutely serious, and
we are about to hit what's being reported as a
potentially dangerous level of heat combined with elevated surf. This
(11:10):
week and alone, we are looking at some hundred degree
weather according to the National Weather Service, blistering temperatures resulting
in high pressure systems, which of course are going to
lead to high high surfs. And the high surfs are
really and truly nothing to play with at all. I mean,
(11:33):
if you have been following the news, you know that
recently there was a young man. Got to look up
his name who will actually, I think when I last
looked at the report, they had not released his name,
even though a lot of class members are new. But
it was a kid, you know, teenager, sophomore, who was
(11:53):
out for night swim with some friends and he was just,
you know, the waves took him man, And I think that.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Trying to look it up, look up the information on that.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But regardless, the loss of life and the potential loss
of life due to high surfs is nothing to play with,
nothing to joke about. And even the best swimmers sometimes
with waves like this and rip tides like this, if
the best of surfers can are the best of swimmers,
(12:28):
I'm sorry it can be taken out to see. But
that combined with the fact that we are looking at
heat ranging you know, from one hundred and two one
hundred and nine in the valleys Las nineties ninety fours,
I mean, it's just it's going to be hot all over.
Riverside of course, is going to be right next to hell,
(12:50):
and the deserts are actually going to be the devil's
playground because you know, there are folks who are getting
their feet melted off walking around in some of the Yes,
it's hod as hell, but still it's not a reason
to run to the water.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Okay, because yes, once.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Again, several beaches this week have issued public health warnings
due to high bacteria levels in the water, bacteria and sewage.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I e.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Poop all right, Lost Floris Creek, Walnut Cove, Solstice Creek,
Castle Rock Storm drained to paint the Canyon beach. Just basically,
the entire southern California coast is filled with bacteria. So
you know, if you want to get in the water,
more power to you. But I can tell you this
(13:45):
when you see that dozens of six sea lions have
been showing up on California beaches. These are creatures of
the sea, and they have been showing up on the
beaches getting out of the water, sick and dying. Sea
lions showing up along the Ventura and Santa Barbara coos
over this past week alone. That's a problem. That's a problem.
(14:09):
And guess where they're getting sick. They're not getting sick
because they've eaten bad food. Not getting sick because they've
eaten some bad fish. No, no, no, bad sushi in
the water. These sea lions are getting sick because the
water is grow tesque. And if sea lions creatures of
the sea are getting out of the water and just saying, blanket,
(14:29):
I'm gonna go up and die on the sand, then
why is you getting in the water. I don't understand it.
If the sea lions trust the animals, trust mother nature.
If the sea lions are telling you don't get in
the water, it's bad, don't get in the water, all right,
don't get And also if you see a six sea lion,
(14:52):
do not approach them, do not try to go and
throw water on them. Don't know, don't do that. Call
you know, Marine and Wildlife Rescue hotline at eight oh
five five six seven fifteen oh five UH or for
more information you can go to CIMWI dot org and
(15:15):
report sixty lines there. But don't just try to catch
them and play with them and put them back in
the water. This seems will attack you. Not only that
they're sick, why would you go near them. But I've
seen some pictures of folks online on the socials trying
to like throw buckets of water on them, and it's like, fool.
Don't you understand they're trying to get out of the water.
(15:36):
Why are you throwing filthy ocean water off the I
can't take it. I can't take it with us sometimes,
all right, stay out of the water, unless unless, unless
you are going to go and check out the the
Huntington Beach US Open of Surfing.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
We're gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And actually some great beaches here in southern California infected
with poot water or not, there's still great beaches where
we talking about that.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
On the other side, you're listening to soul Cal Saturday
with Tawala Sharp on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Kfive Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
and Alambra, San Dimas Fuller ten and Red Lens.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
This is soul Cal Saturday.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I'm your host, Twyla Sharp, and I am not all
against water. I know we had to talk back last week.
I believe you know, young lady called in to say
that her sister bays or cleanses her soul on this
filthy ocean water. You know, so God bless you if
that's what you're into and you're down with that and
you want the six Sea Lion water on your body, Okay,
(16:57):
no problem, go for it. But I'm not all against
water and the beaches here in southern California. Like the
Huntington Beach US Open of Surfing right it's kicked off
this weekend alone, and this is a massive, massive beach bash, food,
fun festivities. All this going on in Huntington Beach as
(17:21):
the twenty twenty four LEXUS US Open of Surfing kicks
off today.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Kicked off today.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's the world's largest surfing competition, attracting world class surfers
from around the world. Aside from surfing, there is about
fourteen or so acres of beach where you have booths
offering merch, demos, freebies, skateboarding, music concerts and all. There's
(17:49):
even a beach bar. They're opening up a bar on
the beach because that's what we need, drunk people on
the sand, throwing up, leaving their bottles on the beach,
adding to the film. But no, no, that's not what
I'm talking about here. That's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
The US Open of Surfing is and must attend event
if you are down with surfing and and it's happening
right now.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You can find out all the information.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
On the US Open and surfing at SURFCITYUSA dot com.
Ford Slash Events for Slash Annual Events Festival. Okay, look,
just go to SURFCITYUSA dot com and you will find
everything you need to know about that. And there actually
are some really really beautiful beaches here in southern California,
(18:40):
even if you just want to go with the family,
throw a blanket on the sand and just watch the
waves come crashing in.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I like doing stuff like that. To me that that's
actually really cool. So one of the.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Beaches that you that you should maybe check out if
you're going and checking out the waters and that's what
you want to do. Broad Beach. Broad Beach. Now, I
have not checked out Broad Beach. And it's not like
broad like an offensive term for women. No, it's just
Broad Beach. It's a pretty beach with less people, you
(19:11):
know in Malibu. It doesn't have amenities like restrooms or
a parking lot, which kind of bad. No restroom, it's
kind of bad where you're using the restroom, you're going
into the water. So what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.
But it's one of those beach areas that's kind of
in between homes where you into like go down a
little staircase one of those a little private like beaches.
(19:34):
There are tide pools near the La Kunsa Beach or
maybe I'm mispronouncing that Lacunza lacuns Let's just say Lacunza.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Capistrano Beach Park Capastrna Beach Park is a place that
I'd like to attend, just because I've heard it's really
really beautiful. It's in Dana Point, not too crowded, family
friendly beach, easy access to the beach. Fishing is even
permitted there, so that's kind of nice. El Pescador State Beach.
Never been to El Pescador, No, No, It's a nice
(20:10):
secluded beach, has a quiet, natural beauty. Okay, Okay, that's
maybe worth checking out if you want to get in
Hermosa Beach. Yeah, I've been to Hermosa Beach. Really really
like Hermosa Beach. It is a very clean beach place
where you can definitely go with the family, volleyball, surfing,
(20:30):
a lot of popular things out there, and there's also
a lot of eateries around Hermosa Beach. Lunada Bay I'm
not familiar with Lunada Bay. But this is on the
list of some of Southern California's most beautiful beaches. It's
a Palace Verdia State Beach. Oh, that's probably why I
(20:51):
don't go to Palace verdas often. Yeah, I don't feel
that comfortable there. But you know, hey, that that is
one of those beaches. I would say, I don't know,
maybe check it out. But you know, there's that video
of that lady going around be trying to rope off
her property, you know, a little while ago, in the news,
(21:13):
and I just think that this beach, it seems like
one of those kinds I may avoid that one. Mandalay Beach. Yes,
Mandalay Beach is solid that is over towards the ox
Nart area. It's also known as ox Star State Beach.
I've seen that and I've wanted to get get out
the water, but I was out ox Star for other reasons.
(21:34):
I was like, oh, man, I really want to go there.
But it is a really really nice looking beach. Ocean
side City beach, ocean Side City Beach, Okay, nice sidewalks
along the strand firings, wheelchair access to the playground equipment
and to the beach, and I think that is paramount.
I think more beaches need to install these wheelchair access ramps.
(22:02):
And it's kind of like this pattern that goes out
over the sand to allow individuals and winches to get
further out into the sand and make it easier for
them to access it. That that I think is a
plus and not reason alone to check out Ocean Side Beach.
Pirate's Cove. Pirate's Cove is cool just because it says
Pirate's Cove. I love pirates. I love all things having
(22:22):
to do with pirates. I'm a huge fan of the
Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise just because I love
pirate life. I love the lawlessness of it. Fow Man,
if I was born back in the days of pirate,
I would be a scourge of the sea, even though
even though I have a fear of deep water. But
I would think that I would like dock my ship
(22:44):
at shore and I would just terrorize the shore and
they would be like, ah, there's Blackbeard Sharp or maybe
just black Sharp. I don't know what they would call me.
But I love the whole concept of pirates and all that.
So Pirates Beach, I would say that right there is
the top of the list. Check out Pirate's Code Beach.
(23:05):
It's also re Dondo Beach, T Street Beach, whatever, T
Street Beach, and Westward Beach. And yeah, maybe super producer
Kayla can post some of the details on these beaches
on our web page. Whatever you do, make sure you
do it safely. If you're heading to the water to
stay out of the heater to maybe cool off. Again,
(23:28):
make sure you are aware of high tide warnings. Make
sure you're paying attention to any signs that are placed
along the shoreline warning of contamination and things like that,
because you actually can get really, really sick. And that's
your public service announcement about going to any beach here
in southern California.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
This is KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
You're listening to Soul Cal Saturday with Tawalla Sharp on
demand from kay six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere all the iHeartRadio app
in El Serino, Sawtel, Laguna Miguel and Marino Valley. This
is so Cal Saturday. I'm your host Twalla Sharp, and
I want to get the opinion of the ladies in
(24:34):
the building. We've got miss Jackie Ray and super producer Kayla.
I'm curious to know what you all think of this phenomenon.
Feminine nomenon, feminine.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Look.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Okay, California's first women's sports bar. Okay, California now has
the very first all women's sports bar. Why sports bar
opened up last Friday in Long Beach, Jackie's hometown there
and the LBC, and this sports bar is designed to
(25:13):
be a supportive, all all whole places for just uh
for just women, all right. And I think that that
it's a novel idea, and I think that I guess
maybe it's a safe place for women to go and
enjoy sports without men turning to you saying, okay, so
what just happened this play?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
And you know you don't have any man's playing.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I guess it's just, you know, a place where women
can be rowdy and support their favorite teams and all that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
And fill themselves.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Jackie, you as not only a sports analyst, commentator and
a athlete yourself. What is your thoughts on this Watch
Me sports Bar?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
First of all, I am super over the moon excited
about this because, for for reasons can completely opposite of
what you just said. I am one of those like
diehard sports fans. I know stats, I try to really
know who does what, who plays best at different positions.
That has gotten me into so much trouble at sports.
(26:14):
Just knowing sports inside and out. It has put me
in situations where men want to fight me and shut
me in. Yeah, men, grown men, And I'm like, if
you want to fight me, I'm gonna think I can
beat you.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Cause why you want to fight a girl? Like, what's
wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
It's put me in situations where women think I'm trying
to take their man. And now I am a trash talker, right,
Like if you think you know your stuff and then
Lebron go, you talk especially I'm a King James fan, right,
So if you talk stuff about Lebron and then he
go dunk on your best player, I'm giving you the
steak guy, and people can't take.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
The steak guy.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
So being in a situation women, we can talk trash.
Now I will say, y'all argue better and then get
over it much better than we do. But we can
be in a situation with total strangers and just be like,
oh girl, you was right, you know what I mean?
Like instead of taking it personal, like we can just
stay calm and ignore. Oh I didn't even know that
he could do that, girl, Like, we can just have
(27:03):
a good time. I am so especially for the novice
sports fan who's just getting to learn things. They're not
going to be looked down on. They're probably gonna learn
something absolutely different about whatever sport they're going in there
to see. They're probably gonna watch a lot of w
NBA games. It's gonna be another spike for that I am.
I don't know if you can hear in my voice,
but I'm excited about it in your voice.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I mean like, and to think that with that level
of excitement and what this means for women's ability to
go and just as you said, have a place of
their own to just say like, look, this is our zone, y'all, dude,
stay out here. And again, this is not, uh, something
sexual as I've seen somebody say, oh great, you know
(27:45):
we have a spot that some people have li liken
it to Peanuts, which was a lesbian club here in
So cal Longo.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
And I'm like, it's not that, Fellas.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's literally a safe hanger for women to go talk
their trash, talk their talk their sports with each other
end just not have as you said, dudes, you know,
talking about step outside like why.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Like why like that?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
See that's that bear problem. That's why we choose the bear.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Oh that's why you choose the bear, not the beauty.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
I'm just as somebody who doesn't watch sports. Now this bar,
is it just playing women's sports or only women are
allowed to at this bar?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Only women are It's not just playing okay, it's all sports.
It is just a bar just for women, period is
it is? And this is not some we hate men.
This is like, how about we have a place of
our own?
Speaker 6 (28:36):
And I think sometimes people forget to outside of the
sports aspect of it. You know, Caitlin and I have
talked about this. Sometimes it's just really hard to make
friends in this city. So having a place to go
where you know, especially girlfriends. In this business, it's a
male dominated business. So yeah, I have a lot of
male colleagues and things of that nature, but true girlfriends,
it's hard to make friends in this city. So just
(28:57):
having a place where you know, you can just wake
up and just roll out be like I'm gonna go
make some friends today.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
It's awesome. I love it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I think a place like this she needs to franchise immediately.
Like I know this, you got everyone headed into Long Beach.
But there's a lot of women all over the Southland
who would love to be able to check this out
and can't make it.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
This love to Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Look, I don't drive to Long Beach for any reason,
just because the drive. But if there's something like this
in LA, something like this, you know in Van Eyes,
I'm sure this would absolutely pop. This seems like this
is the next franchise opportunity for female business owners.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Well, that'll be a question. I asked her.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
She's gonna be on my podcast next month. Why so
I'm gonna ask the owners that. Yeah, yeah, y'all make
sure you check out Jackie Ray TV. She is going
to be on, I believe on actually the end of
this month, So the last Wednesday of this month, she'll
