Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lou Penrose on News Radio six hundred co Go. We
are live in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Good to have you along with this Happy Monday. The
party is still going on. The party has been going
on since Thursday night. Everybody took Friday off for some reason.
Then we had Saturday and the parties continued on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And there was a.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Soccer match last night that was really important and really good.
And now there's another one tonight that's really important and
really good. It just it's like NonStop party town in
San Diego. The p Andres are having a watch party
at Petco before their baseball game.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I mean, we are having a good time this FIFA thing.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Who knew that soccer could be so much fun, but
it really is, and it's going on alongside. But is
one of the best times of the year in San Diego,
which is the fourth of July, in the.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Big fireworks showdown at the Bay.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The Big Baby Boom, which was flawless this year. It
really was flawless. Before we comment on the little kerfluffle
way up in Orange County where all the rich kids lived,
I want to talk about just how well done the
San Diego fireworks showing all of them.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I mean, everybody was so San Diego chill.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Nobody threw bottles, nobody threw trash cans in the middle
of the street and let them on fire. Nobody looted
to pavilions. Everybody just enjoyed themselves. We are more mature,
apparently than the rich kids up in Newport Beach. So
thousands of people had their eyes on the sky looking
at that right there, checking out San Diego's biggest Fourth.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Of July tradition, the big Baby Boom.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
This year's so was extra special since it's America's two
hundred and fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's right, there's Amari Fleming.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He's right, it's extra special, and everybody was very happy
to be part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Let's see who's they sent somebody out. I think I
have it here.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Now go so many notes here, So this is a
Cecilia Charno. She went down to talk to people who
thought it was extra special.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
San die Agin's watched in awe us fireworks lit up
the bass guy on this Fourth of July, marking two
hundred and fifty years since the United States of America
was born. Fireworks aside the theme among families was being
united and grateful and.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Then nice, united and grateful.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
What was what has done well in San Diego that
they they certainly did not do as well up in
San Francisco. You're firing off rockets off of the Golden
Gate Bridge.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Sounds really good. The problem is the fond.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Having the largest fireworks display in the history of America.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Sounds really good. The problem is the smoke.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Eventually, there's so much smoke in the sky that you
can't even see the rockets red glare. So sometimes less
is more and San Diego did it just right, like
it was like watching a clear sky, but there was
so much boom.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And we're grateful because you know, we came from the Philippines. Marilla, USA.
Shlby Birthday, Yeah, happy birthday to the USA.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Celebrations couldn't be better with this amazing company. And that
includes you watching on the other side of the screen.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh is that nice? Did you catch that?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Cecilia from NBC seven thanked us for being on the
other side of the TV.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
It's amazing company and that includes you watching on the
other side of this screen. Happy fourth from Harbor Island.
Cecilo Trevino NBC seven.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's very good. I like that now.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I thought it was swell. I thought everything was good
and we didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
See big problems.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
People didn't go crazy with the illegal fireworks and light
the town on fire.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
And people didn't get out of hand.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They like, you can get out of hand fun, like
have so much fun. This party is out of hand
without flipping cars over and lighting them on fire. So
in Harms County, and this is making a big news now,
the beaches were overrun because it was a TikTok meetup.
(04:22):
And this is what happens with social media is that
everybody knows where everybody is between Snapchat and TikTok. And
I only know this because I have teenage sons and
they are all connected, so you know, it's it would
be like a Pham tree to the tenth power of
all your friends or everybody that is in southern California
(04:44):
that's in your age bracket, telling them all in one send,
we're all going to be here at this pier, and
then everybody gets down there and it's just too many.
And that's what happened, and some people were getting a
little unruly. People it was buying large fine until sunset,
and then there's always a bad apple.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
People throwing you know.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Big firecrackers into groups of people on the beach to
scare the girls. And that's dangerous, so the cops have
to move in, and then people push back, and then
the cops cleared the beach, which pushes everybody inland, and
the only place you can go is the parking lot
of the supermarket, and that's where things got bad.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
We have new video out of Newport showing the moment
mounted police officers clashed with crowds during July fourth celebrations.
Things quickly spiraled out of control. More than three hundred
and fifty officers moved in to clear the area and
restore order to bubble a peninsula.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
They say, the crowd engaged in.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Unlawful and dangerous behavior, including setting off fireworks, blocking roads,
fighting and looting, right.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And that's always bad. That's when it gets bad now
to be I mean it is, it was. It was
definitely disrespectful behavior.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It wasn't so much like when we hear looting.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We think about what the Black Lives Matter people do
to the target in Minneapolis, or what the Black Lives
Matter people did in La Mason, Like literally going into
the store and stealing as many clothes and.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Nike shoes as you can.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
There were some displays on the outside, you know how
like on the supermarket where the shopping carts are. Sometimes
they'll have firewood out there. Sometimes they'll have cases of
water bottles, and they had huge cases of watermelon, and
somebody threw a watermelon at somebody else and then I
had that person had to throw a watermelon back, and
(06:38):
that's stealing. You didn't buy that watermelon, and it became
a great, big watermelon mess.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So that's very, very disrespectful. And they busted four hundred
and three individuals.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Four hundred and three people got arrested with a police
force of three hundred and seventy five, which had.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
To really suck for a lot of those.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Young people to just sit zip tide in the parking
lot of the pavilions in Huntington Beach up in Orange
County for the remainder of the evening, and you know
that was like getting their names and addresses and telephone
numbers and data. Burse the cops are no rush to
do that, let them sit there. So that was a
(07:24):
boot and there's lots of discussion now about where these
people came, because there's lots of everybody is a journalist
these days. Did you know that because of the iPhone,
every single person where there is an incident is a
broadcast journalist.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
What is a broadcast journalist?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Somebody that is where the news is happening with a
cameraman and a microphone. So everybody's got footage of what
happened from every conceivable angle. And people were there and
they were reporting to TikTok, YouTube or whatever platform they posted,
(08:03):
and you could see that it was clear that a
lot of the people that were there that live there
were very upset and very disturbed that people that clearly
didn't live there don't belong there, and we're behaving in
a way.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
That was disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So when we come back, I'm going to share with
you some of this footage and also I got some
fantat So what is also good when they make these arrests,
the police bodycam footage, Like now, the police bodycam footage
is working for the cops because the cops are hilarious.
I mean, these young people are foolish, they don't know
how to answer questions right, and they're making fools of
(08:41):
themselves and their tipsy and the cops are having a
ball with it because it really wasn't dangerous.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It was just unruly and messy.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So I want to play it for you because it's
a lot of fun and we have to smile because
everybody's good.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Nobody got hurt.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
One cop had a firecracker thrown at him, but he's fine.
But it was all respectful and next time Newport Beach
is not gonna allow it to happen.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Lou Penrose, he connects with callers, not cloud servers. That's
human talk radio at its best.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Lou Penrose on news Radio six hundred COGO. We're live
and local in San Diego. But the really big story
out of the weekend of bad behavior was up in
Orange County and Tony Newport Beach, where everybody is supposed
to behave.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But the ponties in Newport Beach. I've been getting bigger
and bigger over the years.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
When I worked in Congress, the congressman that I worked.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
For represented Newport Beach.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He lived in Irvine, but he was in Newport Beach
a lot, and they would always have, you know, patriotic
days and a great big fundraiser by some wealthy donor
out on the peninsula, and it was great to be
invited to such a thing. Well, I was staffing. I
wasn't really invited, but getting out of there was a nightmare.
(09:59):
And I just remember, if I'm gonna go, you gotta live.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
In Newport Beach to enjoy Newport Beach. There areas of.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
San Diego that are saying the same way, right, don't go,
stay in your own neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Makes it too hard.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But it just become a real popular thing with college
and high school kids from all over Orange County and
they all descended upon Newport Beach and there was just
too many of them, and a couple of people got
unruly and started throwing fireworks in the middle of the beach,
so they cleared the beach, and that pushed everybody into
town and they all went to the pavilions and hung
(10:33):
out in the parking lot and got unruly, and everybody's
got a cell phone came.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So how cellphones is.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What really stupid?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Because at the ground, yeah, the ground is covered with
watermelon and water bottles. So it was cleaned up pretty quickly,
but it did not look good. It was unbecoming the.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Ground tell people what is going on right now?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I don't see all the people that live there. These
girls live there. People are being disrespectful. They come here
and they make a mess.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You catch that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Wow, they look like Huntington people. To me, I didn't
know that. So is there a hierarchy of ghetto?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
See?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Everyone thinks it's the nine O nine ers, and it
usually is, certainly here in San Diego. How many tons
of trash did they clean up on Sunday? That's the
nine O nine ers. Uh. But in Newport, when people
come in and they act ghetto, it's the Huntington people,
is what she said? No, look like Huntington and she
(11:52):
used a cuss word. Everyone curses. It's impossible to get
this stuff broadcasted. Uh. Here's another guy cursing a lot
uh from Newport and says, these are not our people, and.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
We're in Newport right now. Crazy. I don't know why.
It's crazy. I've never seen Newport like this, So bro,
come on, bro, just crazy. I'm not a part of this, guys,
I'm just filming it, that's right.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So he's he's a self appointed cameraman and he's walking
around the parking lot and people are taking the watermelons
from the front of the pavilions and just like it's
their own and flinging them in the air and throwing
them at each other.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
It's very bad. Oh my god, yoh yeah, that's that
is actually bro. This is stupid. Bro. Probably are you
off from Arizona? Probably some Marizonians right, oh wow, Arizona.
So I don't know. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So everyone has a different point of view of who
the slobs are.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You know what, in an empire, you.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
May be off the hook this year, Toular listeners it
for the first time.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It might not be you.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I guess people from Arizona come to California and you know,
make a mess.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
This has to be public record, the addresses of the
four hundred and three that were issued citations.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They have to come from somewhere.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But I do like the fact that a in San
Diego San Diegan's got up on a Sunday morning to
go clean the beach. Like volunteers moved hundreds of pounds
of trash on a Sunday morning. I lament that we
have to do that year over year over year. But
(13:47):
like nobody comes in from Norco to help us pick
up the trash. But here in San Diego we pick
up the trash. And I like the fact that these
young people that live in Newport Beach are.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You know, the rough put. They're saying, Hey, this is
a I don't like this at all. This is not
the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Wunton Roads.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Sighting and looting super unfortunate. You know, there's no place
for that.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We live in one of the most beautiful places in
the world.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
So to have people that don't live here, don't care
about this place come and trash it for fun, is
it's pretty disheartening.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Disheartening.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Wow, that's a that's an SAT word right there. He
probably goes to what usc.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
S m U. He doesn't go to St. S U. Disheartening, Yeah,
he is disheartened.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
All right, Well, the bodycam footage is really really good.
I share some other there's this good body camp footage
of people that are just getting busted with fireworks.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Those are going to be illegal, okay, all right, all right,
so what are we what are we doing? So I'm
gonna have to give him the summons for the fireworks?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Okay, So.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
It's a ticket, so they'll have a court date on it, will.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Have to go to the court date. Yeah. So that's uh,
that's actually in San Diego County.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
That's pretty good. The guy didn't know what a summons was.
He's like, is he getting a ticket? Well, it's a summons.
The airline gives you a ticket. We give you a summons.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Okay, so a ticket, it's a ticket.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, So they'll have a court date on it. He'll
have to go to the court date.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Okay, all right, no more, no more words laying around though, Okay,
all right.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
So that's uh that those are adults. Uh, these this
is what this is from Newport Beach, PD.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
He's got catching people out there drinking too much. Sure
it is, hi, come.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Here, what do you doing?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
How much have you had the drinks night?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I've that much?
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Well, clearly you've had enough to where you think it's
a good idea to just walk into the middle of
the street.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Right, that's uh, that's problem number one. Can't be doing that.
This is uh, this individual is not.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Twenty one six five.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
It's a fake idea.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
See, if you're gonna use a fake ID, mister Finnerdy,
you need to know the information that's on the fake ID.
So if a cop reads you the fake ID, you
can actually tell them.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Where your house is.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
That's always helpful to.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Dead giveaway when you don't know your own address.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Hand the cop at ID and I don't know three
four uhcause it's.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
A fake ID. Fake Why did you give me someone
else's ID?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
That's great, it's not a fake ID. It's just not
my ID. Oh, it gets better. This is good stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
More of the misbehavior from Saturday night on news Radio
six hundred cogo Lou Penrose Live and Local Lou Penrose
Live and Local on news Radio six hundred cogo.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Hey Lou, good afternoon, the greetings from sunny beautiful to Mecula. Anyway,
after my sixty eight years on this planet, I've come
to one definite conclusion.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
The human species is.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Not nearly as smart as they think they are.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, it's yeah, that's a accurate on the fourth of July,
when you're sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen running around in the
hot sun, tipsy on white claw, and you know, we
need to do a better job of teaching our young
people how to interact with cops, which is, keep your
(17:20):
mouth shut except for yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
This guy kept his mouth going here, come here, what
do you do? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
How much have you had the drinks in that much?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well, clearly you've not that much? Is an incorrect answer,
young man.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
Well clearly you've had enough to where you think it's
a good idea to just walk into the middle of
the street.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
What's your IDEs?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Dude?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Six five food? Because it's a fake IDA? Why did
you give me someone else's ID?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
That is a good question. See, he got himself into
a hole there, Like if they ask you for ID, say,
I didn't want to lose my walid, so I live
here and my wallets at the house.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I'm just going to Apple pay anything I buy. That's
the right answer.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
But getting a cop an ID that isn't yours bad idea?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That is, why did you give me someone else's ID?
Are you lying compared to the ID?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Or no?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
CoP's in a good mood. Cop asks are you lying?
Another question? You don't answer, and he's trying, kids trying.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
He's saying, am I lying compared to the information on
the ID?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Or what do you what do you mean by lying? ID?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Or no?
Speaker 9 (18:46):
I think you've got too much alcohol to the point
where you can't care for your own safety.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Once the cop reaches that conclusion, you can't walk that back.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
You're under the Republicans conxetition.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
You are too drunk where you're a danger to yourself.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, that's a boo.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
That's gonna be a tough one to talk to the
insurance companies about on your auto insurance public intoxication.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You're gonna have to plead that down.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yikes, it sounded like, you know, Misterfinity, The cops sounded
in good cheer.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I think they would have been able to.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Be persuaded to just let everybody walk home if he
was a little bit more. Just be nice, like, don't
be combative, don't be argumentative.
Speaker 10 (19:31):
I think the cop just couldn't get over to the
stupidity of what he was hearing from the guy.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And you have to imagine that these comps were engaging
in this level of stupidity four hundred and three times
on Saturday night because nobody was giving good answers. Judging
from his first three responses, like how much did you
have a drink tonight? And you're like fifteen years old,
you don't say not much? And I think he might
(19:57):
have been carrying a can of a of something in
his hand as he crossed the street. So he's going
to jail. That's a bad one. Okay, this guy, Uh,
he was almost off the hook. This is in the
parking lot of the pavilions. He was in a scuffle,
and I think from the footage that I saw, he
(20:18):
was trying to be the good guy. He was trying
to get people to stop stealing watermelons and throwing them
into the crowd. So the cop was kind of on
his side. But then he wouldn't calm down, and the
cop gave him an out.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Now, there was one play on the ground.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
The airport getting I want I want to take you
to gisty and drugon public?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Or do you want to go home? Right? Did you
hear that? Listen to that deal? Do you want to
be arrested for being drunk in public? Or you want
to go home? There's a kid.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
The kid had idea and he was within walking distance
walking distance of home.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
You want to take you to ghisty and drugon public?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Or do you want to go home? Uh? Do I
want you to take me to jail for being drunk
in public? Or do I want to walk home. Wow,
that's not an easy one for me. Public or do
you want to go home?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Do you choose right now, I'll gladly take you to
do with.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh he wanted to keep talking and the cops said,
you choose right now, I'll gladly take you to jail.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
And he went to jail. That's too bad.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Well, Uh, we didn't have any of these problems in
San Diego. We lived up to our reputation as a
community being chill and uh, you know, everybody had a
good time and nobody went to jail, at least not
four hundred teenagers. And I'm just very proud. I don't
(21:43):
know what they're gonna do now in Newport Beach. It's
clear that these people are not from Newport Beach. But
that's a tough one. Do you stand, you know, at
the coast of Masa Line on Jamboree and just check
IDs and say no, I'm sorry, you have to have
one of these eight zip codes all or else you
can't come to new Our Beach. You cannot shop at
(22:04):
Fashion Island. You just don't belong, You cannot be trusted.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
There was some bad news, not locally, but this stuff
goes viral too, and it is a real shame. People
don't understand that. For the big fireworks, you really gotta
get away. You gotta lay it on the ground. Light
it with a good lighter, not not the big lighter.
The days of the big lighter are over. You can
go buy.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yourself a torch, and go get yourself a torch, and
then once you see the fuse going, you got to
run away. And the big.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Fireworks that you find yourself in possession of the ones
that you know, go in mortar shells.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Don't be screwing with those. It's like ten PM nine.
Some guys go on fireworks.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
You guys don't like them, and we're like sure, we
always like fireworks. So we let the first one it
was fine, and then the second one there was like
a broken piece.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Right, the broken piece, mister Finnerty would have been the
great big long stick. And these are like the kind
of fireworks that they fire off barges that cities fire
off barges. Wow, he's not fireworks, he's not bottle rockets.
And uh, he's showing the reporter that this this, this,
this rocket was broken. But we just went ahead and
(23:21):
lit it.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Anyway. No fuse by the.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Way, literally like milliseconds, just like in the explosion, had
no fuse or nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Literally just like boom, no fuse.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
So he's literally lighting the side of the packaging. Feel
for this kid, yeah, I feel so bad for me.
He just graduated high school, so it couldn't find the fuse,
so it's just lighting the packaging of his rocket.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
No fuse or nothing, literally just like boom.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It was like that.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I looked down and like, obviously I don't see a hand,
you know, just ex flooded like sigrated.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
So he looked down and didn't see a hand, so
he blew off his own hand, like.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I thought this was you for like two seconds and
like I'm walking down.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
This is real, right, Yeah, just graduated high school. Now
he's only got one hand. And he's not the only one.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
This woman is in Oklahoma and had a bad Saturday night.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
I'm thirty six years old and we've done you know,
fireworks my whole life, and everybody's always like, don't you know,
hold them, don't do this, but everybody does it. You
see it and you think it's not going to happen
to you, and it can.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
And I am proof of that.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
You know what my mom, Rose Murray would have said,
Everyone does it. If everyone jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge,
would you jump off the Brooklyn Bridge?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's what my mom would say. Everybody does it.
Speaker 11 (24:45):
So what happens an Oklahoma woman warning others after a
Roman candle exploded in our hand? Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Boy, And I understand with the Roman candle, it is tempting,
but you have to understand there is no safe place
on the Roman candle to hold.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It is tempting because it looks like it's you know,
it's going.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Off like a shotgun, and it looks like a goun
and maybe something you can pick up in point, but
you can't because that the fireworks in a Roman candle
go all the way down to where your hand is.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
There is no safe place to hold it.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
If you want to be clever like I am and
duct tape a Roman candle onto a long broomstick.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Now you're macguy. I ring it, But she didn't.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Jessica Kai's lost both her pinky and ring finger and
has burns across her body. Jessica faces more surgery, months
of therapy and learning how to live with just one hand.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Wow, So that's tough.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Thirty six years old. She lost her ring finger. I
don't know if she's married, but it won't matter now.
And guess what she does.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
For a living. Don't tell me.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
Don't tell me she's a nurse.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I mean losing those two fingers right, Let's see courts
stenographer Lou Penrose.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
No, the world's fastest typist.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
No, And as a hairstyle is this injury has put
her career on hold.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, that's gonna be a rough one, hard to do
a perm hairstylist.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
That's a boo.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
And I think that's the correct statement. That puts her
career on hold for.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Quite some time. Don't pick it up with your hand.
Blu Penrod Live and local O News.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Radio six hundred co Goo coming up following the news
at four.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
FIFA fever continues. Big match last night, a lot.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Of broken hearts and our Mexican American friends and really
throughout Latin America. That was a great match, that was
absolutely exciting and it there was such opportun The Mexican
team possessed the ball like over eighty percent of the
time where I control of it and the British team
(27:07):
were down. I got a yet another one of these
red card events where the guy was tossed so they
were up a player. But and there was so many
fantastic shots on goal. It just it was an exciting.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Game or match.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
And it was one of those that kind of put
me in the mood now for the rest of it
and certainly for tonight. What was fun about last night
was we could all freely root for Mexico. I saw
there was some criticism. I think Klay Travis was criticizing
Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona for wearing a Mexico jersey.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Well, was Mexico versus England. If you're gonna watch it,
you have to have a favorite.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Why wouldn't I root for Mexico in that matchup? I
really wanted Mexico to win in Mexico City. Did you
see how many people were there?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
That was great. That was one heck of a show.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
And the ratings prove that people are just embracing this
in the United States and in the West and in
North America certainly, and this was the right continent to
have the World Cup and we're great hosts and everybody's
happy and the viewing parties continue.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
And co goo's Phil Ferrar is that a viewing party
and he's going to join us. And the guy that
got read carded.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
They President Trump made a telephone call, I guess, and
it's all been squared away. And then this controversy over that.
Why is the president getting involved? It's the name, it's
the national team. Why wouldn't the President of the United
States call the head of whoever in the world of
soccer and say, as the president of the United States,
(28:51):
I hereby think that was a bad call, and I
support the appeal and the reversal.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
President should do that. I guarantee you other presidents do it.
They just don't have the juice that Trump has.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And that's so what like people like well, you know
he used influence. Good trust me, they wouldn't have let
flow play tonight if they didn't want to.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But it was clearly the wrong call.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And I have no problem with the President of the
United States in this set of circumstances calling whoever, not
saying you know, if you don't reverse the call, I'm
going to have you arrested and have the IRS audit
your mom.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I'm just saying, call and say.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
On behalf of my people. I think that was a
BS call. So that's gonna be. That's all gonna be tonight.
We're all gonna see Balagan play and how he's going
to be treated. A lot of these fouls, though, are
(29:57):
very u I mean, I'm sure it hurts to get
kicked in the shins, but I'm noticing they all have
shin guards, mister finnerdy, and they probably had better shin
guards than my kids had when they were playing soccer
when they were like eight. These are probably professional grade
shin guards, but they're very dramatic. Anytime anybody gets kicked
in the shin, they roll on the ground like they
(30:18):
have their leg amputated.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
I think that's their spotlight starring moment when they're playing
that they realize that this is their opportunity to really
play it up and come off like, oh, I'm so
agony that just killed me, because they know the camera's
on them.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That and if they have successfully tugged at the heartstring
of the ref and it goes from a yellow card
to a red card, they get an advantage. They get
one man down for the rest of the match, a
one man advantage for the rest of the match. So
I think that's I think because I noticed they writhe
in pain, and then no penalties called and then they
(30:55):
get up and finished running around.
Speaker 10 (30:56):
Yeah, they overcome their pain so quickly, very quickly.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
But I will give credit to I mean a lot
of San Diegans that were rooting for Mexico.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It was I mean, it was it was sad like
I really wanted them to win. I was really rooting.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
The stadium was alive, it was an active game up
to the very last second of the match. And in
my heart of hearts, I believe that Mexico had an
opportunity for a comeback, even though it looked, you know,
with thirty minutes left, it looked bad.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
But I think they handled it like adults. I really do.
It was not a whole lot of crying.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And here's how one Mexican American in San Diego reacted
to it. Okay, England, Telus, that is you guys got
the victory, but after this World Cup, y'all still got
to go back home to British food.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
That's right. Good for you.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
You get the victory over Mexico, but now you still
have the eat British food.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
At least we have Mexican food.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
See.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I love that. I love that attitude.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I love the internationalness of it all.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
All right, we'll talk with cogo's Phil Ferrar.
