Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have a chance to win that thousand dollars. What do
people do to get themselves into this contest here?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, you know all you gotta do. It's pretty simple, really.
You just got to go to kfab dot com CALM
short for commercial and that is that? What that? Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, and then you just, uh you go there and
then this this thing pops up right in your face.
So you make sure you got to pop up blockers disabled.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
You're gonna want that, uh, that way you can see
see what we're trying to show you here.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But you know what, even if you're an enterprising Internet
man or enterprising Internet woman and and you do have
those pop up blockers enabled, hey, that's no sweat. You
can still find it on the page. Just scroll a
little bit, see where you enter that keyword. But if
you if you do have them disabled, it's gonna pop
right up in your face, and it's gonna it's gonna
say inflation compensation. It's gonna be a guy. You're gonna
(00:54):
see a guy on your screen. He's in the top
right hand corner. I'm looking at him right now. He
looks like a happy guy. You know why, because he
just won a thousand bucks. He's got cash flying in
the air to his right. Somebody had fun in the photoshop.
Great in this little limit here, let me tell you.
And it did a nice little image there with a guy,
a happy guy. He's he's uh, he looks angry, but
(01:15):
he's happy, you know, he looks excited. And then it's
gonna be a little box his entner keyword that's where
you enter it. Oh lazy bo n us. Yeah, bonus
is the word. Yeah, I wonder, you know, not not
to throw him under the bus. But I got a
six year old nephew, and every time that they say
he should smile, he just looks like he's mad, you know,
(01:37):
like he's a kind of like his eye is really
tense up, looks a bit angry. It's like, yeah, I'm
sure he'll get a bit of a grasp as to
what he's supposed to do in that situation. But I
can't help but laugh when I see those photos, like
it's school picture. He's just like he goes in there
and he's like, is he too intense? Is what are
the eyebrows doing?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
They're like they're like they're just engaged you to do
a good like a good smile. Your eyebrows are kind
of out of it. Yeah, loosen up. You gotta loosen
up the eyebrows. But he just like really tenses them up,
and you could it just like and he doesn't really
smile as much as his teeth just show, you know,
like he's just like showing his teeth and not really
like smiling.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's kind of a power move.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's just kind of like smile, and his like instinct
is to just like look angry. I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So I don't know. Well, my advice would be, smile
with your eyes. See what he see, what he see
what he tries after you tell him that, smile with
your eyes.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'll be honest, I don't care enough to tell him anything.
You should care more, No, because it's I don't want
to get into this. We got a lot of news
to get into, but uh, it's just a conversation. I
just don't want to start. I just don't want to
start it because half the time that I tried to
talk to him, he's six years old, so he's like
like he gets super nervous or like I don't know,
(02:51):
like I guess I don't see enough of him or something.
And he just like clams up, you know what I mean,
like find find commonalities in road? What cartaons?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Does he lay?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I try? I try, dude. He insists he's a big
sports fan. So I start talking sports, and he just
like immediately just decides to abandon the conversation by like
running around and doing something else.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Run around with him next time.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
No, No, I am reading that as he wants to
escape the interaction, and I'm just like, okay, fine, I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna chase him anyway. We'll talk
more about that later, all right. So we're here on
a Monday, and the fires are still raging in southern California.
We've got as much information as we have at this moment.
(03:37):
Ninety two thousand people are under evacuation orders, thus mandatory
evacuation orders. Another eighty nine thousand or under evacuation warnings,
which means you should get out of the way. But
if you cannot right now, or if you want to
come and pick stuff up and move it somewhere else,
you can. That is a large number. That is, you know,
(03:58):
we're knocking on two hundred thousand people still in that situation.
A cal fire a battalion chief has said that the
entire region in southern California from Ventura to San Diego,
which is much further south, should prepare for possible evacuation orders. Now,
these individual fires are counted as individual fires. This event
(04:20):
as a whole doesn't like if you we talk about
the stats of like the most widespread destruction in terms
of acreage acres, these fires count separately. Do we like
that or do we not like that? Because this to
me is going to go down as like one specific event,
(04:41):
like the wildfires of January twenty twenty five, whatever they
decide to count them. We're sitting at twenty four people
having been deceased. Dozens are still missing. According to Governor Gavenuwsom,
There's likely to be a lot more deaths as that
toll gets adjusted and we become accurate. But these are technically,
(05:03):
by the book, going to be entered into the database
as different fires. Now, the Eaten Fire is the second
most destructive fire in California history, and the Palisades Fire
is currently the fourth most destructive fire in California history.
I think the way that we're lining that up is
(05:24):
by sheer total building damage, but also how many acres
have been completely destroyed, and I wonder if we get
to like the number of dollars like dollar amount this
is going to especially when you include inflation. I mean,
this is going to be about as bad as it's
ever gotten. Now if you're looking at specific fires for deadliness,
(05:49):
and again we're counting all of these separately, so we're
not exactly sure which fires are attributing to any of
the twenty four deaths and how that breaks up. But
if we use this event as a whole, it would
be the fourth deadliest fire ever in California history, and
(06:10):
very likely by the end of gosh, even today, if
we get updated numbers, there's a chance he could be
up to number two. The deadliest fire ever in California
history was in twenty eighteen, the camp fire in Butte County.
Eighty six people passed away. I mean, just an absolute
tragic situation there. So we're paying close attention to how
(06:34):
this is adjusting and how you know, in terms of
the structures, how bad this is getting. But we are
going to do the best that we can to give
you the Act the most accurate information. They say the
total area burned by the Palisades eaten in Hurst fires
is an area that is larger than Paris, France sixty
(06:58):
square miles, and like maybe the worst news you could
possibly hear in regards to this, forecasters at the National
Weather Service within the last half hour have expanded an
area they expect the most dangerous and strong winds, so
they have instituted a particularly dangerous situation with a red
flag warning. And there is a much larger area that
(07:21):
they have put in here, and I'm sure that has
something to do with the already existing fire situation. But
early Tuesday morning and to Wednesday, they are expecting up
to seventy mile per hour gusts. I mean, I gotta
tell you this is jarring to have to say. I mean,
to say the least, just that we're talking about this,
(07:43):
and I'm hopeful that they can get.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
A little bit more, a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Containment on these fires before those seventy mile per hour
winds end up, you know, kicking back up and potentially
making it even harder to fight what we're currently dealing with.
So fourteen percent containment according to cal Fires within the
last hour, so the Eton fire still raging as well.
(08:13):
The Hurst fire now at ninety five percent containment, and
that's good to hear, but this is not great. And
with tomorrow morning into Wednesday them having potentially up to
seventy mile an hour wins more, it really really kind
of gives you some thoughts right now and just how
(08:34):
dangerous this entire thing is. So we'll keep you posted,
but just awful stuff. To seventeen, we'll advance over to
Middle Eastern Talk because there is certainly quite a bit
of news there that came in today after a weekend
of progress. We'll tell you about that coming up here
on news radio eleven ten kfab
