Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI a M six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I am six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
This is the Andy Reestmeyer Show. We'll be with you
all the way till four o'clock here on KFI on
this first day of February, first Sunday, first day. I'm back.
I feel like in a long time. I was here
on Friday Friday Night. There's a couple of things that
I didn't get to that I'm happy I'm gonna be
talking about today. But I've been on this Sunday show
(00:48):
for a long time. Eileen, It's so nice to see you.
We've got Kayla on the ones and tues We've got
Mario here as well. So so happy to be back, Eileen.
I was I had pneumonia.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Oh isn't that by Yeah, I was worried about you
because you don't miss work.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, you know, I'm a psychopath and the work is
the only thing I have. It was crazy, and you know,
I got it. I had a cold and then I
got better, and then I got worse. And that's what
they say you got to be really careful for because
it's no joke. It's no joke.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We missed you.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, thank you. I miss being here. I'm really happy
to be back, and I'll be back here tomorrow night
at seven o'clock and then Friday again at seven pm.
And I'm not sure about what's going on as far
as the week after that, but excited to be here.
As always. You can reach us on the iHeartRadio app
using the talkback feature. We were doing something on Friday
(01:40):
night which I want to continue tonight or today, which
is we were talking about dive bars and how gen
Z is now discovering dive bars, as if none of
us have ever known about them in the many, many
many years that they've been opened. Hey, guys, come with
me to this bar with the carpeted floor. The drinks
(02:03):
are only eight dollars. I understand the attraction. I love
a dive bar, but I was also hearing from a
lot of the listeners on Friday night what your favorite
dive bar is. We want to celebrate these dive bars
before the younger generation comes in and takes over. You know,
if you've been to Barney's Beaner in West Hollywood, you've
seen this now for a few years, where it used
(02:23):
to just be some old, crusty guys who were sort
of like stuck to the bar top and that was
the joy of it, right, And now it's like a
trendy thing that young people are and it's lost a
little bit of its luster for me because I feel
like an old person despite having a weak jaw line
and looking like I'm sixteen. Also, there are some interesting
things that we're going to talk about today on the show.
(02:44):
As far as lots of news from last week. Catherine O'Hara,
no cause of death for the legendary actress there who
died Friday morning, but we did know that she did
have a condition, which we'll get into. Plus the Epstein Files,
three million documents have been released as of last week.
There are some crazy stuff in there. We're not going
(03:05):
to do all three million of those documents, but we
will talk about a few of them. A little bit
of an update on AI. They have their own social network,
so it seems there are thousands of AI bots talking
to each other on what is called molt book. But
is it all as it seems? Of course it never is.
(03:25):
I'm not quite rich on tech, so I'll do my
best to give it justice. But it's a fascinating world
we're living in, and it's Grammy Sunday. We'll talk about
what to expect for this evening, for that big show
if you like the music show, for sure. But one
thing definitely to know is that downtown Los Angeles, where
those Grammys are held, a lot of traffic issues, a
lot of lane in road closures to pay attention to.
(03:47):
But before we get into that, it's speaking of downtown
been a little crazy the past few days in downtown
Los Angeles. Starting on Friday, there was that day of striking,
where people across the nation decided to not go to
work as much as possible. Some restaurants closed, others restaurants
said we can't close. They posted about it on the
(04:08):
internet saying we support this and we're closing, or we
support this and we're not closing, and then their comment
sections were flooded with people who were mad one way
or the other. You just can't win this day and age.
But also yesterday we saw as many as maybe twenty
people who are detained after protests became violent in Los
Angeles's downtown.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Breaking news now at eleven officers have deployed tear gas
in downtown La tonight after agitators in the crownd began
throwing fireworks, rocks, and bottles at them.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Good evening, I'm lozen Aking and.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I'm Jory Ran.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
This is happening.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
After the LAPD declared an unlawful assembly to the gathered crowd,
they issued a dispersal order for the area around the
Federal Building, which has been site of so much unrest
four months in downtown Los Angeles. One of our eyewitness
news crews captured this video as the violence escalated. Several
streets around the Federal Building remain closed.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
At this hour to traffic.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Let's take a live look right now at downtown Los
Angeles from Air seven, where some of the crowd has
remained on scene.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So we know that now obviously there's nobody down there.
And I was looking to see if there were any
additional protests scheduled for today, not in Los Angeles, but
you do see a lot of gatherings across the country here,
especially in Minneapolis, where people are upset and they're protesting,
and it's really interesting to watch, especially in LA I
(05:33):
haven't seen a lot of these current protests in other
countries or other rather cities around the country, but in
Los Angeles, there is this sort of like tale of
two protests, and this is what we've seen for years
where I think even back to the early part of
twenty twenty, there was a lot of protests during that
summer of reckoning, you could call it. And I remember
it's very odd that when the night goes, the sun
(05:56):
goes down, and we transition into night, it's like a
completely different world because during the day, you've got and
even in Burbank, you've got you know, a good amount
of older people who are out with signs, you got
cute signs, you got serious signs. You know, they'll be
(06:18):
a one side of the street, the light will change,
they'll walk to the other side of the street, and
they just kind of go back and forth and back
and forth. That's sort of what it is. A lot
of blue hairs, a lot of a lot of people
who are getting out there, you know, maybe didn't have
much else going on, and they're happy to go and
support whatever caused that they're supporting. And once the night starts,
(06:39):
those people go home. All the people who are out
there listening to the new Bruce Springsteen song about Minneapolis,
those people go home, They pack up and they leave,
and then a different group of people comes in and
that's when it starts to get I think, more violent.
You see that on social media, you see that on
the news. You got people who are I would say,
(07:04):
maybe not displaying the best virtues of democracy, because there's
a lot of personal attacks. You've seen, especially on Instagram
and on Twitter over the night last night, a bunch
of videos of people who the mob, this group of
people will think are members of ICE or members of
a specific party that they don't agree with, and then
they will go without really much conversation, just scream at
(07:29):
these people in their faces, and a lot of times
it ends up just being like in one case last night,
an older woman who was just standing there who they
decided that was ICE. There was another woman who was
an she calls herself an independent journalist. Whether she's a
conservative or progressive, I don't think matters, but for the
(07:50):
I don't know if she is, but she's a conservative,
maybe a conservative, maybe not, an independent journalist named Alexandra Daddig,
and the mob thought that she was a different person
who goes by the name of Calli Maga Barbie. A
woman named April Silverman who is a conservative influencer. She
told them that that's not who she was. She showed
(08:11):
her credentials, but then they lit her up anyway. And
when I say lit her up, they crowd around these
people and they're screaming at them, and they're blowing whistles,
and it's you know, you just kind of feel like
you don't want to get it wrong because then someone
will make a video of that and post it on
the Internet, and then your whole message gets diluted for
(08:32):
the fact that people are saying, look at these idiots
going after the wrong person. I don't know if you
remember last week there was an angry mob, I think
in lynn Wood that thought that they had found a
couple of ICE agents in a restaurant, and so they
put out the call on social media and then you
(08:52):
had twenty five people there screaming at these two dudes
who ended up being TSA agents. Which listen, I just
like the TSA as much as everybody else does. But
if you're out of here protesting ICE and you're screaming
at the dude who's checking the bags going through the
metal detector, it doesn't bode well for your message. There's
(09:12):
another guy who's going viral right now named Rohalio Martinez,
and he is a candidate for mayor in Long Beach.
He posted this video on social media a couple of
days ago, calling for gang members in Long Beach to
team up and remove ice.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Is Rojalio Martinez.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I am calling.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
All fifty five gangs in my beautiful city.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I expect he's in front of Long Beach City Hall.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
A gang leader from every gang, all fifty five gangs,
and I'm not going to name them by name, but
I'm calling the Latino gangs. I'm calling the Cambodian gangs,
lots of Cambodians and Long Beach calling the Filipino gangs.
(10:03):
I'm calling the Black gangs. I'm calling the Pacific Islander gangs.
I'm calling all gang leaders to meet me right here
Long Beach City Hall, this coming Monday. Why Monday, specifically,
I need you to be here to meet me in
person to take back this city because our leadership is
(10:28):
not doing anything about it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So that's kind of wild. The Daily Caller reached out
to the UH candidate for mayor of Long Beach and
they asked him, Okay, what's the idea here? What do
you want them to do exactly, and he said that
I want to show that every member of the city
is part of the community and he's never intending to
harm anybody or incite any type of violence. He said,
(10:51):
it's a crazy, radical but fresh approach to gain attention
to what's happening in America, and he was surprised that
it went viral and with shared, but he was as
far as he knows as of Sunday afternoon. According to
The Daily Caller, none of the fifty five gang leaders
he invited to a protest there in Long Beach on
Monday responded to him. What a world. All right, lots
(11:15):
coming up. I'm way over time, but we would love
to hear from you about your favorite dive bars. Find
us on the KFI app or on the iHeartRadio app.
Look for KFI and leave a little message there with
your with your your your favorite dive bar in the
southern southern California area. I'll ask you, Eileen later when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Well, that is an incredible song, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
It just gave him my headphones this morning, and I'm like,
this will be really great for anti show leader.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
It will be a man.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Soon, right, You'll be a man soon.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Congrat congratulations And that is really funny.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That is that's quality content right there, dude, everything that
Sometimes the Internet just gives you what you need.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Was that a thing that came across like on your
Spotify like a shuffle situation?
Speaker 9 (12:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I love Andy Grammer. I listened to Andy Grammer all
the time, so jam.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, he's a good He's good dude.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I remember like when I was first trying to make
it make it in music. This is many years ago,
and he was like an indie, indie dude who who
had just come out. I think he was in Nashville maybe, uh,
And he had an incredible song. I think this is
the guy is a song called the Black Keys? Is
that an Andy Grammer song? I'm on the Googler I'm
looking into I don't know, maybe not, but anyway, he
(12:29):
came up with a song that was very good, and
it was like, oh man, that guy's now he's going
to be famous and I will not be able to
be because he's you know, you can only have one
very famous person with your name.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Is he very famous?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I mean he's good he's you could take a way
beyond where I have failed.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Yeah, I know for sure that's undeniable. But I think
if you really work hard, starting today, you could pass him.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Okay, good, all right, Well I appreciate you giving me that,
uh that intel. By the way, I had asked you
to send me something on teams. Oh yeah, I didn't
do it. It's okay that you didn't because I can't
log in anyway. Oh okay. And maybe in some ways
that's helpful because it means that our dear employers here
at iHeartMedia are not able to track me from wherever
I am to wherever I'm going.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Oh you're so lucky, Yeah, Douggy think Yeah, I think
because they're tracking me, they let me know.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
They know if, like, if you get in a little
bit late. I mean, the thing it's tough about being
on the radio is that you cannot get in. You know,
you're either here or you're not. It's hard to like
leave work early on the radio station.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I think they'd noticed it'd be dead as.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Right, where are you right? Which is a little bit
worse than what it is when I am here. Just
a little just to slight a slight downgrade, but there
was an update at least this week that came out
about a story that I have been looking at since
October because this kind of stuff fascinates me. Microsoft Teams,
of course, is everywhere. If you use it for work,
you probably don't remember a time before you had it.
(13:55):
It's so integrated. There was first Slack, and then there
came this time when Slack, you know, was free, and
then it wasn't free for businesses anymore. And everybody who
had office in the office and outlook system at work,
which is most people who work in corporate America, I think,
and even people who don't, they said, Okay, we're gonna
make our own version of it. We're gonna call it teams.
(14:16):
And Teams has been the bane of my existence forever
because what it has done. It is meant now so
that your boss can text you at all hours of
the day, that you can be reachable. It is not
an email. It has replaced it in some form of chat.
It can be useful. I think we use it pretty
well in the newsroom of KTLA, But you know, there
(14:36):
is a lot of stuff that I think sometimes I'm like, man,
I didn't I'm glad that it helps organize, but I
remember a time when it was not every day. Regardless,
a new update is coming to teams which will use
the wi Fi to tell your boss if you're in
the building. So theoretically it could tell your boss if
(14:58):
you're late, if you don't work your whole shit, if
you were working and then new left halfway through and
then came back. It basically just tracks you and says
here's where you were on the KTLA Wi Fi. You
were on the Kfi Wi Fi and you were late. Now,
not only could your boss snoop, would they every single day?
(15:20):
Probably not? But when you add AI, which can of
course just keep track all this information, make a little
report identify if you got here late, went home early.
The course it's going to send that to your boss.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
The good news is right now the feature has been
delayed by at least a month, so we will not
have this until March. And Microsoft says it is a
program that you have to opt into, so it doesn't
come turned on by default. Now will your boss didn't
have to say listen, if you want to keep working here,
you're gonna turn that darn thing on. Perhaps, But it
(15:56):
also goes back to the idea that employers have clung
to the notion if you're at work, you're actually working,
not like anybody ever wasn't productive in the office. And
it's weird because I think when you start to add
AI to this, remember, at the same time AI is
tracking us to see if we're doing work, and now
(16:18):
all of us are also using AI to do a
little amount of as little amount of work as possible
or make work easier. So it's like this the future
is just like us competing with our robots against each other.
By the way, during the pandemic, A dated a girl
who had a mouse jiggler. You ever you ever heard
about these? Is appropriate? Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know
what it sounds like. But it's a little thing that
(16:39):
moves your mouse. Okay, you know, are you on the
dumb bucket, not the mouse attached to the computer? You
know you got like the little rotating ball, So kind
of it's a it's a there's a software version and
then there's also a physical one that has a battery
in it. What is it called a mouse jiggler? Just
googled mouse or a mouse jiggler. Listen, I would not
this is a family show all right, you guys are
(17:02):
the ones who are who are the issues here. It's
it's it's like basically just that it allows you to
make sure that you have an active you know, on
on teams that your dot is green, because it makes
it look like you're working. So she would wake up,
turn on the mouse jiggler, log into her program, and
then go back to sleep. She's a genius. Isn't that incredible?
(17:23):
That's actually really smart. I don't think they ever. They
never found out well now, years ago, years ago, they
never I never met her. I never went to her Joe.
We dated for like a month. I didn't go to
her work. It was fine. It was fine. It was
one of those relationships like she was the kind of
person who and this is a very la girl thing,
(17:45):
is that every single thing I would ask you, like hey,
you want to go, uh check out the Marina Delray
this weekend we would go on a boat or something
like that, she'd be like, I could be down for that.
It didn't matter what it was, it was, I could
be down for that. Go with the flat like, hey,
you want to like, well, what do we thinking about
going to Vegas this weekend and going and seeing a
seeing the eagles at the sphere. I could be down
(18:06):
for that. There was never an emphatic It was never
a yes, absolutely, it was never no. I'm not really
sure what she was actually interested in, but that's that's
Los Angeles, I lean before we hand it over to you. Yes,
any dive bars that are your favorite that you want
to shout out before the young folk come and take over.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I don't know if it's a dive bar, but I'm
a regular at a place called the Manchester in Westchester, Okay,
and it's like a it's almost like a little.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Speaky there's no windows.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, it's just dark and if you don't know it's there,
you'll probably miss it. Like real speakeasy, like one that
has like a Hitmen door.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, well no, it didn't have to be a speakeasy,
more of a dive bar. This seems too fancy.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
For a dive It might be, you know what, there's
one that's a definite dive bar that you would never
think that I go to. But have you heard of
Melody Bar by the Court?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, Melody Bar is great.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
I love Melody Bar.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I know because you're a South Bay person, so it
makes sense that you you chill over by the airport
because most people, unless they live in there, they aren't
just going near Lax to a bar.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I physically don't look like most of the clientele. That's great,
but are they nice to I love it there, I
got it, Eileen. I'm looking at the menu for the
Manchester right now. They've got local Barata for twenty dollars.
That's not a dive bar. That's not a dive, but
Melody is. They've got Aura King Salmon with the little
umlat over the a.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
They have the best food, by the way, the best
French fries anywhere.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That steak Freetz looks very good. And I don't know
it's thirty nine dollars good for steak Fritz or is
that expensive for steak Freez. It's on the high end.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah, maybe it's Okay, that's totally not a dive, but
Melody is.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Melody is for sure. I'm a big fan of the
fox Fire up here in Burbank or I'm sorry, it's
in Sherman Oaks Valley Village and I love It's not
a dive necessarily, but the San Pedro Brewing Company, which
is down in San Pedro, which has a Sampedro's got
grit to it. That's a fantastic place. I know that
they've just changed their menu a little bit too.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh the Shack, the Shack Shack and Prince of Way Oh,
Prince oh Wale.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Prince Oh, where's that? Those are in? Pdru yespl It
del Ray and parts of Marina Delray like a Hanano
cafe that doesn't phenomenal dives love. Yeah, all right, we
gotta wrap.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, hanging.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Out here in Burbank, beautiful day, nice and warm, hopefully
going to be continuing on this same trend here for
the rest of the week. And I understand listen. I
wouldn't be mad if you were out in the world
today if you were saying, I'm not gonna sit by
the radio all day and listen to whatever that a
hole has to say. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
for a little swim. I don't go for a little
walk on the beach. I get it. You can find
me on the internet at andy KTLA, or you can
(20:41):
find me on the iHeartRadio app. Look for the little
talkback button. It's a little microphone and you can leave
up to thirty seconds. We're asking people today what their
favorite dive bar in southern California is. Maybe you like
a long beach situation. Maybe you're all about the South Bay,
like like Eileen Gonzalez. The Valley, I think is where
the best dive bars are. But maybe I'm partial to
(21:02):
that because some of them were walking distance from places
where I used to live. Used to go to the
Oi Bar when it was called the Oyster House Saloon.
That's there more parking witsen and it was a real
dive man. They had carpet on the floor, mouldi ceiling tiles,
just people who were, like the guys in the bar
were like stuck to the bar top like barnacles. And
(21:25):
they had a lady who worked there who had the
voice of an angel. You know, we walked in, she
was like, hi baby. You'd pull up to the bar
and the you know drinks jack and coke was like
five bucks or something, and she'd open a snack. You know,
they'd have snacks under the table. You know, sometimes they
give you like a little plate of peanuts or or
a little little dish of crackers. This woman would pull
(21:48):
out a full lazed potato chip bag like from Costco
and dump it in a big plastic bowl and you
just sit there and snack on him the whole day.
It was a beautiful place. The guy sold it after
owning it for like forty years, and now it's a
really good restaurant called oy Bar. So at least it's
still alive in a way, and it has a lot
of the same soul that it definitely used to have.
So I heart media, I heart radio app rather, and
(22:10):
you can find us there and play some of your
some of your comments on the show. Mario, do you
have any you have a big fan of any dive
bars out there in the Mario world, just.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Like earlier, I don't know if this is considered a
dive bar or not. How at the Moon?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
How at the Moon? Okay?
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Yeah, especially obviously the one that was nearby or at
Universal City Walk.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Not anymore.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
I have to go just across the nation to, you know,
go to any other week.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
There's still one in Nashville, Tennessee. I went not too
long ago. But I'll tell you this much. I think
the fact that it does have the vibes for sure
of like a good old boy everybody knows your name,
chreap drinks and people sing. I think if it's a chain,
it can't be a dive bar. One of my favorite
places ever, right, miss is so much here? Yeah, yeah
it was fund Were you a big, big piano guy,
a big singer, dild you hop up and do some songs.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
Maybe more karaoke vibes, so yeah, you know, with some
drinks there, seeing everybody else do this on stage, you
would get into it.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
They would just cover all johns. Okay, Well, I got
I got a place for you in Korea Town. It's
called a Brass Monkey. Brass Monkey, that's yes, it's on
Wheelshair and it is a place that is they got
karaoke and drinking all day long, all day and all night. La.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna make that happen. You gotta go.
We should all go together. They'll be fun. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Oh to the to the to the Monkey or favor bar,
well both, Well, yeah, I think that's close to my
house buols. Sure, so yeah, I'm down for the Monkey.
And I think I'm not sure one hundred percent what
a dive bar is, but Brennan's and Marina del Rey.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I think, yeah, they got they race turtles there. That
feels like it's very divy. Yeah, that's you know what
I mean. Well, like I feel like that if you
if you ever, if you have a turtle race, that is,
you are well known in southern California for a turtle
race near a dive bar sounds legitimate. I think any
place that feels like there's no windows, uh, there's a
pool table. Drinks are cheap. You know, you can't order
(23:57):
something at a dive bar that's more than a one
in one. Like you're going into a die bar. You
got to get yourself a jack and coke, jin and tonic, vodka, soda,
tequila soda. Like if you have to go there and
you're like, do you have any martinis, it's like you're
doing the wrong thing. It's not it's just not the vibe. Uh,
(24:17):
I am six forty. There you go, all right, real quick, David.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
I have an urgent campaign related question.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I am approachable? Is that a question?
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
The question, is I am approachable? Cheers? Oh that's drug.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
You'll remember the experience and you'll remember the name herb
Ervling herv her Blinger being live hunger they died.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I'll look an.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Into our out house.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
An unbelievable committed genius. Catherine O'Hara sadly died Friday at
age seventy one after what her reps were calling a illness. Now,
the cause of death has not been revealed at this point. However,
it's kind of interesting. Something that I learned yesterday and
I think a lot of people just learned recently, was
that she had a condition which was somewhat rare, called
(25:11):
citis in versus. And it's important to say this condition,
as far as we know, didn't contribute to her death.
But what it is is when all of your organs
are on the other side of your body, so it's
like you're a mirror image of what most people look like.
So your heart's on the other side, your kidney instead
(25:33):
of being on the right sides on the left side,
hearts on the right side as opposed to the left side.
She talked about it during a Virtual Happy Hour in
twenty twenty during the during the pandemic. She said she
had dextro cardia, which is a type of citis versus
where the heart points towards the right side of the
chest and the other organs are flipped. She learned about
(25:53):
the condition more than twenty years ago. She went on
to say, I love Western medicine, I just don't want
to be a part of it. But I had to
get a TV test when our youngest was in co
op nursery school. So I went to my husband's doctor
and he said, let's do some baseline test. One of
them was an EKG and she found out during that
time after the doctor was confused and ordered a chest
X ray to find out that indeed her heart was
(26:16):
flipped around the other side. Very sad, though incredible, incredible comedian,
unbelievable actor. We were watching My girlfriend and I were watching
Shit's Creek last night and just just trying to wrap
our heads around the fact that this woman who you know,
we saw in the studio last year has still been working,
seems so very alive. It's just not with us anymore.
(26:41):
And it's very sad because you just kind of think,
especially with the way people are famous now, they just
don't make them like that anymore. Catherine O'Hara dead at
seventy one. We'll let you know forget any more information
about what happened there. I'm very curious a short illness.
They said, but what that actually means could be a
lot of stuff. Lots more coming up here in the show,
(27:02):
including You're gonna love this. My guy was in the
boxing ring yesterday. He got his so hard his hair
got knocked off. We'll tell you what happened to Jared Miller.
It's I Am six forty or live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
As we continue on here on this Sunday afternoon, I
was I was so shocked in amid all of the horrible,
horrifying things that I saw on the internet yesterday as
I was prepping for this show. One of the things
I saw that I could not get enough of was
Jerrell Miller, the boxer, and how how it went for
(27:47):
him last night in a fight versus a guy named
Kinsley eBay. Kingsley eBay. Rather, there was there was a
moment Saturday which I think you could call shocking. People
Magazine called it shocking. But my guy got hit so
hard in the face that his two pay flew off.
(28:12):
He literally got his hair piece knocked off. Here's the
moment for the broadcast.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
And you just took it off then.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
If you haven't seen it, it is not a great
story for radio, probably because it's such a visual gag,
but very funny stuff, very very interesting to look at
that for sure. Coming up in the next hour, we're
gonna talk about AI having their own social network. Plus
Epstein files those are out. There's really wild stuff in that.
But I didn't get to this story on Friday because
(28:51):
I didn't get to the full story on Friday because
there was so much chatter back and forth about why
it had happened. Columbia Sportswear the company has made a
beer that is made of bear poop and they're going
to be selling it at the Super Bowl, and we
(29:14):
could not, for the life of us, figure out why
on earth that they would they would do this or
what the point of it was. But apparently it's made
from bear excrement that somehow is filtered out and made
healthy in the process of brewing. Why, I I don't know.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
If you wanted to drink a urine beer, you could
just have a Miller Light. But instead it was good
good people, Dante Kopa, but here, John Kun, Harrishay Boilers,
Sean and Shady McCoy. Now, listen, this is an advertisement
on their website, on the Columbia website, about this beer,
which is called Nature Calls, of course, and they are
these professional athletes, of course, doing this in what appears
(29:59):
to be cameos. I don't know if that's true, but
that's what it looks like.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
Nobody knows the outdoors better than Columbia sports where, but
when the big game's on, everybody's indoors.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
And that's why Colombia is bringing a taste of the
outdoors indoors with Nature Calls.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
It's the only beer that uses bear in the brewing process.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
We haven't checked that, but we're pretty certain.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
So why Bear?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
So that also brings into the question is this actually
even real? So why bear? Well, Columbia makes even the
parts of nature palatable and it doesn't get must than bear.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
You're probably wondering, does it taste like bears? Nope, nope, nope, no, no.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
It doesn't.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
It tastes just like beer, smooth with a satisfying natural finish.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And since this is the Big Games beer, you're watching
the Big Game Bear act? Now will does actually air
during the Super Bowl? I don't know, very curious to
see if that happens next week.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Well, Fantasy CGIs no Hollywood actor, it's just your boy,
just me on my phone and the creed.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I don't even have pants on.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
So this game they between the mats calls.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I don't know. I'm not gonna try it. I don't care.
I don't care for any any part of this. I
don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's easy to don't.
I don't think we need to have anything to do
with this. This is not something that anyone, anybody needs.
Maybe in that same regard, the Grammys are in town tonight. Hey,
it's music's biggest night and.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
The biggest stars are set to make harmony under one
roof in downtown La. Yes, it's the sixty eighth edition
of the Grammy Awards and Kate j LA's very own
red carpet renegade.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Is he there?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
You're right out out front of the carpet. Omar lewis good,
take it away, friend, Yes we are. They used to
use things like that when I was doing the weekend
morning show. They would like the like red carpet renegade.
The producer Birch loves alliteration, and so he always gives
a little cute tosses and when I was doing that show,
tosses meaning like that's what you say, like red carpet renegade,
(32:07):
our very own red carpet renegade, Omar Lewis. When they
would do it, it was Pedro Rivera who always tossed to me,
and he would not want to say them because they
were cutesy or whatever, and so he would make up
something mean every single time, which I thought was funny.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
We are getting closer and closer this morning, ladies. As
I mentioned last star, we're trying to get onto that
red carpet. It is right here behind us this morning,
outside of Crypto dot Com Arena, where in just a
matter of hours Music Royalty will be descending upon downtown
LA for a night full of performances and prestige. You
could see the bomb snipping dogs right outside here. They're
(32:44):
making sure that this area is secure this morning, still
putting some final touches on things as well as they
put some flowers in place closer to the front gate.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Here.
Speaker 11 (32:54):
They are making sure that everything is in place ahead
of the performances that start tonight at five o'clock. It's
all about who can carry it soon and who will
carry home the gold?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Hm M, I see, I see where we were going
with that. Yeah, of course, if you look online right
now towards downtown Los Angeles, there's a lot of road
closures there. If you don't have to go downtown La,
I think it's probably best to avoid anywhere near el
A Live Staples former Staplesen of Thecrypto dot Com Arena.
(33:30):
All you know, that's where this is going on, you know,
Grammy Music, Flower, Pico, twelfth Street, eleven Street, La Live, Woy,
fig and additionally Pico Venice and Figaroa were closed to
starting at ten am. We don't know when they're going
to be lifted, which I think is kind of fun.
So if you don't have to go down there, I
think don't go down there. Is anybody really into the
(33:52):
Grammys right now? Anybody in studio? Eileen, are you going
to be like?
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I don't know anymore. I'm like an old lady. I
don't know the music.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I'm in the same spot. I'm way out of the demo.
I'm kind of into it here.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
Kendrick Lamars is leading the nominations.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Yeah, you start like seven. I love Kendrick so yeah,
I mean, I do love Kendrick.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
That's an l a thing for sure. But let me
just hear. Let's go to hear, all right, Best New Artists.
Let's just see if we know who these people are.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Marias. Do we know the Marias?
Speaker 5 (34:45):
I know the Marias? Okay, okay, I know some of them.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Addison Ray, she's a was an influencers. Can you believe
Addison Ray is nominated for Best New Artists for a Grammy?
Speaker 5 (34:56):
That's wild. She was like this influencer that just kind
of bro nowhere.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Leon Thomas, I don't know who that? Oh yes, oh
my god, you do. Okay, all right, Somber, we know Somber,
back to being friends. We just shared a bed that guy.
Oh yes, Alex Warren. No, wait, is that somber? Oh man,
I'm so old. Yes, that's the guy who does that song.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I'm ancient.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
It's just like you, once you get out of the demo,
you're gone, you know what I mean. Once you hit
thirty five, it's like they don't make anything for you.
It's not we don't care if you like it or not.
It's not for you anyway. Go on with your bad
self and listen to your old music.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
But I probably know the Hall of Fame nominees.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah that's right. Ooh John Bonham. Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Yeah, oh, I love John Bonham.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
There's all these things like who's Fred again? Do you
guys know Fred Again? No? I don't know Fred Fred
the eighties? Zara Larson do we know her?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
You know her? Kaylee, you have a younger younger ear.
Speaker 7 (36:02):
Maybe yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty hip to the streets, okay,
as the as the young people say.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's weird because I you know, I used
to get like all the Grammys CDs, you know what
I mean, Grammy's You're Grammy nominees two thousand and three.
I had I had the record, but the Nord Jones
and The and the the.
Speaker 9 (36:23):

Oh my god, I'm so old. I don't even remember anymore.
It's like Jimmy World or whomever. I feel like. Nord
Jones is nominated for Grammy every year from two thousand
to two thousand and five. Maybe it's just me anyway.
Good luck to everybody we'll be watching. I'm sure it's
very fun. Coming up in the next hour, we're going
to get into some of the three million pages of
(36:43):
files that were released as part of the latest trunch
of documents from the Epstein story. Plus, AI has their
own social networks sort of maybe perhaps, and La rent
the prices for our apartments? Are they up? Are they down? Maybe?
Good news if you're not a Landlord's KFI AM six forty.

This is the Andy Reestmeyer Show. We'll be with you
all the way till four o'clock here on KFI on
this first day of February, first Sunday, first day. I'm back.
I feel like in a long time. I was here
on Friday Friday Night. There's a couple of things that
I didn't get to that I'm happy I'm gonna be
talking about today. But I've been on this Sunday show
(00:48):
for a long time. Eileen, It's so nice to see you.
We've got Kayla on the ones and tues We've got
Mario here as well. So so happy to be back, Eileen.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Oh isn't that by Yeah, I was worried about you
because you don't miss work.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, you know, I'm a psychopath and the work is
the only thing I have. It was crazy, and you know,
I got it. I had a cold and then I
got better, and then I got worse. And that's what
they say you got to be really careful for because
it's no joke. It's no joke.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We missed you.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, thank you. I miss being here. I'm really happy
to be back, and I'll be back here tomorrow night
at seven o'clock and then Friday again at seven pm.
And I'm not sure about what's going on as far
as the week after that, but excited to be here.
As always. You can reach us on the iHeartRadio app
using the talkback feature. We were doing something on Friday
(01:40):
night which I want to continue tonight or today, which
is we were talking about dive bars and how gen
Z is now discovering dive bars, as if none of
us have ever known about them in the many, many
many years that they've been opened. Hey, guys, come with
me to this bar with the carpeted floor. The drinks
(02:03):
are only eight dollars. I understand the attraction. I love
a dive bar, but I was also hearing from a
lot of the listeners on Friday night what your favorite
dive bar is. We want to celebrate these dive bars
before the younger generation comes in and takes over. You know,
if you've been to Barney's Beaner in West Hollywood, you've
seen this now for a few years, where it used
(02:23):
to just be some old, crusty guys who were sort
of like stuck to the bar top and that was
the joy of it, right, And now it's like a
trendy thing that young people are and it's lost a
little bit of its luster for me because I feel
like an old person despite having a weak jaw line
and looking like I'm sixteen. Also, there are some interesting
things that we're going to talk about today on the show.
(02:44):
As far as lots of news from last week. Catherine O'Hara,
no cause of death for the legendary actress there who
died Friday morning, but we did know that she did
have a condition, which we'll get into. Plus the Epstein Files,
three million documents have been released as of last week.
There are some crazy stuff in there. We're not going
(03:05):
to do all three million of those documents, but we
will talk about a few of them. A little bit
of an update on AI. They have their own social network,
so it seems there are thousands of AI bots talking
to each other on what is called molt book. But
is it all as it seems? Of course it never is.
(03:25):
I'm not quite rich on tech, so I'll do my
best to give it justice. But it's a fascinating world
we're living in, and it's Grammy Sunday. We'll talk about
what to expect for this evening, for that big show
if you like the music show, for sure. But one
thing definitely to know is that downtown Los Angeles, where
those Grammys are held, a lot of traffic issues, a
lot of lane in road closures to pay attention to.
(03:47):
But before we get into that, it's speaking of downtown
been a little crazy the past few days in downtown
Los Angeles. Starting on Friday, there was that day of striking,
where people across the nation decided to not go to
work as much as possible. Some restaurants closed, others restaurants
said we can't close. They posted about it on the
(04:08):
internet saying we support this and we're closing, or we
support this and we're not closing, and then their comment
sections were flooded with people who were mad one way
or the other. You just can't win this day and age.
But also yesterday we saw as many as maybe twenty
people who are detained after protests became violent in Los
Angeles's downtown.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Breaking news now at eleven officers have deployed tear gas
in downtown La tonight after agitators in the crownd began
throwing fireworks, rocks, and bottles at them.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Good evening, I'm lozen Aking and.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I'm Jory Ran.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
This is happening.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
After the LAPD declared an unlawful assembly to the gathered crowd,
they issued a dispersal order for the area around the
Federal Building, which has been site of so much unrest
four months in downtown Los Angeles. One of our eyewitness
news crews captured this video as the violence escalated. Several
streets around the Federal Building remain closed.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
At this hour to traffic.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Let's take a live look right now at downtown Los
Angeles from Air seven, where some of the crowd has
remained on scene.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So we know that now obviously there's nobody down there.
And I was looking to see if there were any
additional protests scheduled for today, not in Los Angeles, but
you do see a lot of gatherings across the country here,
especially in Minneapolis, where people are upset and they're protesting,
and it's really interesting to watch, especially in LA I
(05:33):
haven't seen a lot of these current protests in other
countries or other rather cities around the country, but in
Los Angeles, there is this sort of like tale of
two protests, and this is what we've seen for years
where I think even back to the early part of
twenty twenty, there was a lot of protests during that
summer of reckoning, you could call it. And I remember
it's very odd that when the night goes, the sun
(05:56):
goes down, and we transition into night, it's like a
completely different world because during the day, you've got and
even in Burbank, you've got you know, a good amount
of older people who are out with signs, you got
cute signs, you got serious signs. You know, they'll be
(06:18):
a one side of the street, the light will change,
they'll walk to the other side of the street, and
they just kind of go back and forth and back
and forth. That's sort of what it is. A lot
of blue hairs, a lot of a lot of people
who are getting out there, you know, maybe didn't have
much else going on, and they're happy to go and
support whatever caused that they're supporting. And once the night starts,
(06:39):
those people go home. All the people who are out
there listening to the new Bruce Springsteen song about Minneapolis,
those people go home, They pack up and they leave,
and then a different group of people comes in and
that's when it starts to get I think, more violent.
You see that on social media, you see that on
the news. You got people who are I would say,
(07:04):
maybe not displaying the best virtues of democracy, because there's
a lot of personal attacks. You've seen, especially on Instagram
and on Twitter over the night last night, a bunch
of videos of people who the mob, this group of
people will think are members of ICE or members of
a specific party that they don't agree with, and then
they will go without really much conversation, just scream at
(07:29):
these people in their faces, and a lot of times
it ends up just being like in one case last night,
an older woman who was just standing there who they
decided that was ICE. There was another woman who was
an she calls herself an independent journalist. Whether she's a
conservative or progressive, I don't think matters, but for the
(07:50):
I don't know if she is, but she's a conservative,
maybe a conservative, maybe not, an independent journalist named Alexandra Daddig,
and the mob thought that she was a different person
who goes by the name of Calli Maga Barbie. A
woman named April Silverman who is a conservative influencer. She
told them that that's not who she was. She showed
(08:11):
her credentials, but then they lit her up anyway. And
when I say lit her up, they crowd around these
people and they're screaming at them, and they're blowing whistles,
and it's you know, you just kind of feel like
you don't want to get it wrong because then someone
will make a video of that and post it on
the Internet, and then your whole message gets diluted for
(08:32):
the fact that people are saying, look at these idiots
going after the wrong person. I don't know if you
remember last week there was an angry mob, I think
in lynn Wood that thought that they had found a
couple of ICE agents in a restaurant, and so they
put out the call on social media and then you
(08:52):
had twenty five people there screaming at these two dudes
who ended up being TSA agents. Which listen, I just
like the TSA as much as everybody else does. But
if you're out of here protesting ICE and you're screaming
at the dude who's checking the bags going through the
metal detector, it doesn't bode well for your message. There's
(09:12):
another guy who's going viral right now named Rohalio Martinez,
and he is a candidate for mayor in Long Beach.
He posted this video on social media a couple of
days ago, calling for gang members in Long Beach to
team up and remove ice.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Is Rojalio Martinez.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I am calling.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
All fifty five gangs in my beautiful city.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I expect he's in front of Long Beach City Hall.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
A gang leader from every gang, all fifty five gangs,
and I'm not going to name them by name, but
I'm calling the Latino gangs. I'm calling the Cambodian gangs,
lots of Cambodians and Long Beach calling the Filipino gangs.
(10:03):
I'm calling the Black gangs. I'm calling the Pacific Islander gangs.
I'm calling all gang leaders to meet me right here
Long Beach City Hall, this coming Monday. Why Monday, specifically,
I need you to be here to meet me in
person to take back this city because our leadership is
(10:28):
not doing anything about it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So that's kind of wild. The Daily Caller reached out
to the UH candidate for mayor of Long Beach and
they asked him, Okay, what's the idea here? What do
you want them to do exactly, and he said that
I want to show that every member of the city
is part of the community and he's never intending to
harm anybody or incite any type of violence. He said,
(10:51):
it's a crazy, radical but fresh approach to gain attention
to what's happening in America, and he was surprised that
it went viral and with shared, but he was as
far as he knows as of Sunday afternoon. According to
The Daily Caller, none of the fifty five gang leaders
he invited to a protest there in Long Beach on
Monday responded to him. What a world. All right, lots
(11:15):
coming up. I'm way over time, but we would love
to hear from you about your favorite dive bars. Find
us on the KFI app or on the iHeartRadio app.
Look for KFI and leave a little message there with
your with your your your favorite dive bar in the
southern southern California area. I'll ask you, Eileen later when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Well, that is an incredible song, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
It just gave him my headphones this morning, and I'm like,
this will be really great for anti show leader.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
It will be a man.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Soon, right, You'll be a man soon.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Congrat congratulations And that is really funny.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That is that's quality content right there, dude, everything that
Sometimes the Internet just gives you what you need.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Was that a thing that came across like on your
Spotify like a shuffle situation?
Speaker 9 (12:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I love Andy Grammer. I listened to Andy Grammer all
the time, so jam.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, he's a good He's good dude.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I remember like when I was first trying to make
it make it in music. This is many years ago,
and he was like an indie, indie dude who who
had just come out. I think he was in Nashville maybe, uh,
And he had an incredible song. I think this is
the guy is a song called the Black Keys? Is
that an Andy Grammer song? I'm on the Googler I'm
looking into I don't know, maybe not, but anyway, he
(12:29):
came up with a song that was very good, and
it was like, oh man, that guy's now he's going
to be famous and I will not be able to
be because he's you know, you can only have one
very famous person with your name.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Is he very famous?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I mean he's good he's you could take a way
beyond where I have failed.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Yeah, I know for sure that's undeniable. But I think
if you really work hard, starting today, you could pass him.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Okay, good, all right, Well I appreciate you giving me that,
uh that intel. By the way, I had asked you
to send me something on teams. Oh yeah, I didn't
do it. It's okay that you didn't because I can't
log in anyway. Oh okay. And maybe in some ways
that's helpful because it means that our dear employers here
at iHeartMedia are not able to track me from wherever
I am to wherever I'm going.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Oh you're so lucky, Yeah, Douggy think Yeah, I think
because they're tracking me, they let me know.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
They know if, like, if you get in a little
bit late. I mean, the thing it's tough about being
on the radio is that you cannot get in. You know,
you're either here or you're not. It's hard to like
leave work early on the radio station.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I think they'd noticed it'd be dead as.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Right, where are you right? Which is a little bit
worse than what it is when I am here. Just
a little just to slight a slight downgrade, but there
was an update at least this week that came out
about a story that I have been looking at since
October because this kind of stuff fascinates me. Microsoft Teams,
of course, is everywhere. If you use it for work,
you probably don't remember a time before you had it.
(13:55):
It's so integrated. There was first Slack, and then there
came this time when Slack, you know, was free, and
then it wasn't free for businesses anymore. And everybody who
had office in the office and outlook system at work,
which is most people who work in corporate America, I think,
and even people who don't, they said, Okay, we're gonna
make our own version of it. We're gonna call it teams.
(14:16):
And Teams has been the bane of my existence forever
because what it has done. It is meant now so
that your boss can text you at all hours of
the day, that you can be reachable. It is not
an email. It has replaced it in some form of chat.
It can be useful. I think we use it pretty
well in the newsroom of KTLA, But you know, there
(14:36):
is a lot of stuff that I think sometimes I'm like, man,
I didn't I'm glad that it helps organize, but I
remember a time when it was not every day. Regardless,
a new update is coming to teams which will use
the wi Fi to tell your boss if you're in
the building. So theoretically it could tell your boss if
(14:58):
you're late, if you don't work your whole shit, if
you were working and then new left halfway through and
then came back. It basically just tracks you and says
here's where you were on the KTLA Wi Fi. You
were on the Kfi Wi Fi and you were late. Now,
not only could your boss snoop, would they every single day?
(15:20):
Probably not? But when you add AI, which can of
course just keep track all this information, make a little
report identify if you got here late, went home early.
The course it's going to send that to your boss.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
The good news is right now the feature has been
delayed by at least a month, so we will not
have this until March. And Microsoft says it is a
program that you have to opt into, so it doesn't
come turned on by default. Now will your boss didn't
have to say listen, if you want to keep working here,
you're gonna turn that darn thing on. Perhaps, But it
(15:56):
also goes back to the idea that employers have clung
to the notion if you're at work, you're actually working,
not like anybody ever wasn't productive in the office. And
it's weird because I think when you start to add
AI to this, remember, at the same time AI is
tracking us to see if we're doing work, and now
(16:18):
all of us are also using AI to do a
little amount of as little amount of work as possible
or make work easier. So it's like this the future
is just like us competing with our robots against each other.
By the way, during the pandemic, A dated a girl
who had a mouse jiggler. You ever you ever heard
about these? Is appropriate? Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know
what it sounds like. But it's a little thing that
(16:39):
moves your mouse. Okay, you know, are you on the
dumb bucket, not the mouse attached to the computer? You
know you got like the little rotating ball, So kind
of it's a it's a there's a software version and
then there's also a physical one that has a battery
in it. What is it called a mouse jiggler? Just
googled mouse or a mouse jiggler. Listen, I would not
this is a family show all right, you guys are
(17:02):
the ones who are who are the issues here. It's
it's it's like basically just that it allows you to
make sure that you have an active you know, on
on teams that your dot is green, because it makes
it look like you're working. So she would wake up,
turn on the mouse jiggler, log into her program, and
then go back to sleep. She's a genius. Isn't that incredible?
(17:23):
That's actually really smart. I don't think they ever. They
never found out well now, years ago, years ago, they
never I never met her. I never went to her Joe.
We dated for like a month. I didn't go to
her work. It was fine. It was fine. It was
one of those relationships like she was the kind of
person who and this is a very la girl thing,
(17:45):
is that every single thing I would ask you, like hey,
you want to go, uh check out the Marina Delray
this weekend we would go on a boat or something
like that, she'd be like, I could be down for that.
It didn't matter what it was, it was, I could
be down for that. Go with the flat like, hey,
you want to like, well, what do we thinking about
going to Vegas this weekend and going and seeing a
seeing the eagles at the sphere. I could be down
(18:06):
for that. There was never an emphatic It was never
a yes, absolutely, it was never no. I'm not really
sure what she was actually interested in, but that's that's
Los Angeles, I lean before we hand it over to you. Yes,
any dive bars that are your favorite that you want
to shout out before the young folk come and take over.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I don't know if it's a dive bar, but I'm
a regular at a place called the Manchester in Westchester, Okay,
and it's like a it's almost like a little.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Speaky there's no windows.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, it's just dark and if you don't know it's there,
you'll probably miss it. Like real speakeasy, like one that
has like a Hitmen door.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, well no, it didn't have to be a speakeasy,
more of a dive bar. This seems too fancy.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
For a dive It might be, you know what, there's
one that's a definite dive bar that you would never
think that I go to. But have you heard of
Melody Bar by the Court?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, Melody Bar is great.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
I love Melody Bar.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I know because you're a South Bay person, so it
makes sense that you you chill over by the airport
because most people, unless they live in there, they aren't
just going near Lax to a bar.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I physically don't look like most of the clientele. That's great,
but are they nice to I love it there, I
got it, Eileen. I'm looking at the menu for the
Manchester right now. They've got local Barata for twenty dollars.
That's not a dive bar. That's not a dive, but
Melody is. They've got Aura King Salmon with the little
umlat over the a.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
They have the best food, by the way, the best
French fries anywhere.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That steak Freetz looks very good. And I don't know
it's thirty nine dollars good for steak Fritz or is
that expensive for steak Freez. It's on the high end.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah, maybe it's Okay, that's totally not a dive, but
Melody is.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Melody is for sure. I'm a big fan of the
fox Fire up here in Burbank or I'm sorry, it's
in Sherman Oaks Valley Village and I love It's not
a dive necessarily, but the San Pedro Brewing Company, which
is down in San Pedro, which has a Sampedro's got
grit to it. That's a fantastic place. I know that
they've just changed their menu a little bit too.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh the Shack, the Shack Shack and Prince of Way Oh,
Prince oh Wale.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Prince Oh, where's that? Those are in? Pdru yespl It
del Ray and parts of Marina Delray like a Hanano
cafe that doesn't phenomenal dives love. Yeah, all right, we
gotta wrap.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, hanging.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Out here in Burbank, beautiful day, nice and warm, hopefully
going to be continuing on this same trend here for
the rest of the week. And I understand listen. I
wouldn't be mad if you were out in the world
today if you were saying, I'm not gonna sit by
the radio all day and listen to whatever that a
hole has to say. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
for a little swim. I don't go for a little
walk on the beach. I get it. You can find
me on the internet at andy KTLA, or you can
(20:41):
find me on the iHeartRadio app. Look for the little
talkback button. It's a little microphone and you can leave
up to thirty seconds. We're asking people today what their
favorite dive bar in southern California is. Maybe you like
a long beach situation. Maybe you're all about the South Bay,
like like Eileen Gonzalez. The Valley, I think is where
the best dive bars are. But maybe I'm partial to
(21:02):
that because some of them were walking distance from places
where I used to live. Used to go to the
Oi Bar when it was called the Oyster House Saloon.
That's there more parking witsen and it was a real
dive man. They had carpet on the floor, mouldi ceiling tiles,
just people who were, like the guys in the bar
were like stuck to the bar top like barnacles. And
(21:25):
they had a lady who worked there who had the
voice of an angel. You know, we walked in, she
was like, hi baby. You'd pull up to the bar
and the you know drinks jack and coke was like
five bucks or something, and she'd open a snack. You know,
they'd have snacks under the table. You know, sometimes they
give you like a little plate of peanuts or or
a little little dish of crackers. This woman would pull
(21:48):
out a full lazed potato chip bag like from Costco
and dump it in a big plastic bowl and you
just sit there and snack on him the whole day.
It was a beautiful place. The guy sold it after
owning it for like forty years, and now it's a
really good restaurant called oy Bar. So at least it's
still alive in a way, and it has a lot
of the same soul that it definitely used to have.
So I heart media, I heart radio app rather, and
(22:10):
you can find us there and play some of your
some of your comments on the show. Mario, do you
have any you have a big fan of any dive
bars out there in the Mario world, just.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Like earlier, I don't know if this is considered a
dive bar or not. How at the Moon?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
How at the Moon? Okay?
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Yeah, especially obviously the one that was nearby or at
Universal City Walk.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Not anymore.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
I have to go just across the nation to, you know,
go to any other week.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
There's still one in Nashville, Tennessee. I went not too
long ago. But I'll tell you this much. I think
the fact that it does have the vibes for sure
of like a good old boy everybody knows your name,
chreap drinks and people sing. I think if it's a chain,
it can't be a dive bar. One of my favorite
places ever, right, miss is so much here? Yeah, yeah
it was fund Were you a big, big piano guy,
a big singer, dild you hop up and do some songs.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
Maybe more karaoke vibes, so yeah, you know, with some
drinks there, seeing everybody else do this on stage, you
would get into it.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
They would just cover all johns. Okay, Well, I got
I got a place for you in Korea Town. It's
called a Brass Monkey. Brass Monkey, that's yes, it's on
Wheelshair and it is a place that is they got
karaoke and drinking all day long, all day and all night. La.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna make that happen. You gotta go.
We should all go together. They'll be fun. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Oh to the to the to the Monkey or favor bar,
well both, Well, yeah, I think that's close to my
house buols. Sure, so yeah, I'm down for the Monkey.
And I think I'm not sure one hundred percent what
a dive bar is, but Brennan's and Marina del Rey.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I think, yeah, they got they race turtles there. That
feels like it's very divy. Yeah, that's you know what
I mean. Well, like I feel like that if you
if you ever, if you have a turtle race, that is,
you are well known in southern California for a turtle
race near a dive bar sounds legitimate. I think any
place that feels like there's no windows, uh, there's a
pool table. Drinks are cheap. You know, you can't order
(23:57):
something at a dive bar that's more than a one
in one. Like you're going into a die bar. You
got to get yourself a jack and coke, jin and tonic, vodka, soda,
tequila soda. Like if you have to go there and
you're like, do you have any martinis, it's like you're
doing the wrong thing. It's not it's just not the vibe. Uh,
(24:17):
I am six forty. There you go, all right, real quick, David.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
I have an urgent campaign related question.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I am approachable? Is that a question?
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
The question, is I am approachable? Cheers? Oh that's drug.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
You'll remember the experience and you'll remember the name herb
Ervling herv her Blinger being live hunger they died.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I'll look an.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Into our out house.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
An unbelievable committed genius. Catherine O'Hara sadly died Friday at
age seventy one after what her reps were calling a illness. Now,
the cause of death has not been revealed at this point. However,
it's kind of interesting. Something that I learned yesterday and
I think a lot of people just learned recently, was
that she had a condition which was somewhat rare, called
(25:11):
citis in versus. And it's important to say this condition,
as far as we know, didn't contribute to her death.
But what it is is when all of your organs
are on the other side of your body, so it's
like you're a mirror image of what most people look like.
So your heart's on the other side, your kidney instead
(25:33):
of being on the right sides on the left side,
hearts on the right side as opposed to the left side.
She talked about it during a Virtual Happy Hour in
twenty twenty during the during the pandemic. She said she
had dextro cardia, which is a type of citis versus
where the heart points towards the right side of the
chest and the other organs are flipped. She learned about
(25:53):
the condition more than twenty years ago. She went on
to say, I love Western medicine, I just don't want
to be a part of it. But I had to
get a TV test when our youngest was in co
op nursery school. So I went to my husband's doctor
and he said, let's do some baseline test. One of
them was an EKG and she found out during that
time after the doctor was confused and ordered a chest
X ray to find out that indeed her heart was
(26:16):
flipped around the other side. Very sad, though incredible, incredible comedian,
unbelievable actor. We were watching My girlfriend and I were watching
Shit's Creek last night and just just trying to wrap
our heads around the fact that this woman who you know,
we saw in the studio last year has still been working,
seems so very alive. It's just not with us anymore.
(26:41):
And it's very sad because you just kind of think,
especially with the way people are famous now, they just
don't make them like that anymore. Catherine O'Hara dead at
seventy one. We'll let you know forget any more information
about what happened there. I'm very curious a short illness.
They said, but what that actually means could be a
lot of stuff. Lots more coming up here in the show,
(27:02):
including You're gonna love this. My guy was in the
boxing ring yesterday. He got his so hard his hair
got knocked off. We'll tell you what happened to Jared Miller.
It's I Am six forty or live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
As we continue on here on this Sunday afternoon, I
was I was so shocked in amid all of the horrible,
horrifying things that I saw on the internet yesterday as
I was prepping for this show. One of the things
I saw that I could not get enough of was
Jerrell Miller, the boxer, and how how it went for
(27:47):
him last night in a fight versus a guy named
Kinsley eBay. Kingsley eBay. Rather, there was there was a
moment Saturday which I think you could call shocking. People
Magazine called it shocking. But my guy got hit so
hard in the face that his two pay flew off.
(28:12):
He literally got his hair piece knocked off. Here's the
moment for the broadcast.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
And you just took it off then.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
If you haven't seen it, it is not a great
story for radio, probably because it's such a visual gag,
but very funny stuff, very very interesting to look at
that for sure. Coming up in the next hour, we're
gonna talk about AI having their own social network. Plus
Epstein files those are out. There's really wild stuff in that.
But I didn't get to this story on Friday because
(28:51):
I didn't get to the full story on Friday because
there was so much chatter back and forth about why
it had happened. Columbia Sportswear the company has made a
beer that is made of bear poop and they're going
to be selling it at the Super Bowl, and we
(29:14):
could not, for the life of us, figure out why
on earth that they would they would do this or
what the point of it was. But apparently it's made
from bear excrement that somehow is filtered out and made
healthy in the process of brewing. Why, I I don't know.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
If you wanted to drink a urine beer, you could
just have a Miller Light. But instead it was good
good people, Dante Kopa, but here, John Kun, Harrishay Boilers,
Sean and Shady McCoy. Now, listen, this is an advertisement
on their website, on the Columbia website, about this beer,
which is called Nature Calls, of course, and they are
these professional athletes, of course, doing this in what appears
(29:59):
to be cameos. I don't know if that's true, but
that's what it looks like.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
Nobody knows the outdoors better than Columbia sports where, but
when the big game's on, everybody's indoors.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
And that's why Colombia is bringing a taste of the
outdoors indoors with Nature Calls.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
It's the only beer that uses bear in the brewing process.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
We haven't checked that, but we're pretty certain.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
So why Bear?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
So that also brings into the question is this actually
even real? So why bear? Well, Columbia makes even the
parts of nature palatable and it doesn't get must than bear.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
You're probably wondering, does it taste like bears? Nope, nope, nope, no, no.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
It doesn't.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
It tastes just like beer, smooth with a satisfying natural finish.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And since this is the Big Games beer, you're watching
the Big Game Bear act? Now will does actually air
during the Super Bowl? I don't know, very curious to
see if that happens next week.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Well, Fantasy CGIs no Hollywood actor, it's just your boy,
just me on my phone and the creed.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I don't even have pants on.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
So this game they between the mats calls.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I don't know. I'm not gonna try it. I don't care.
I don't care for any any part of this. I
don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's easy to don't.
I don't think we need to have anything to do
with this. This is not something that anyone, anybody needs.
Maybe in that same regard, the Grammys are in town tonight. Hey,
it's music's biggest night and.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
The biggest stars are set to make harmony under one
roof in downtown La. Yes, it's the sixty eighth edition
of the Grammy Awards and Kate j LA's very own
red carpet renegade.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Is he there?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
You're right out out front of the carpet. Omar lewis good,
take it away, friend, Yes we are. They used to
use things like that when I was doing the weekend
morning show. They would like the like red carpet renegade.
The producer Birch loves alliteration, and so he always gives
a little cute tosses and when I was doing that show,
tosses meaning like that's what you say, like red carpet renegade,
(32:07):
our very own red carpet renegade, Omar Lewis. When they
would do it, it was Pedro Rivera who always tossed to me,
and he would not want to say them because they
were cutesy or whatever, and so he would make up
something mean every single time, which I thought was funny.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
We are getting closer and closer this morning, ladies. As
I mentioned last star, we're trying to get onto that
red carpet. It is right here behind us this morning,
outside of Crypto dot Com Arena, where in just a
matter of hours Music Royalty will be descending upon downtown
LA for a night full of performances and prestige. You
could see the bomb snipping dogs right outside here. They're
(32:44):
making sure that this area is secure this morning, still
putting some final touches on things as well as they
put some flowers in place closer to the front gate.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Here.
Speaker 11 (32:54):
They are making sure that everything is in place ahead
of the performances that start tonight at five o'clock. It's
all about who can carry it soon and who will
carry home the gold?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Hm M, I see, I see where we were going
with that. Yeah, of course, if you look online right
now towards downtown Los Angeles, there's a lot of road
closures there. If you don't have to go downtown La,
I think it's probably best to avoid anywhere near el
A Live Staples former Staplesen of Thecrypto dot Com Arena.
(33:30):
All you know, that's where this is going on, you know,
Grammy Music, Flower, Pico, twelfth Street, eleven Street, La Live, Woy,
fig and additionally Pico Venice and Figaroa were closed to
starting at ten am. We don't know when they're going
to be lifted, which I think is kind of fun.
So if you don't have to go down there, I
think don't go down there. Is anybody really into the
(33:52):
Grammys right now? Anybody in studio? Eileen, are you going
to be like?
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I don't know anymore. I'm like an old lady. I
don't know the music.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I'm in the same spot. I'm way out of the demo.
I'm kind of into it here.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
Kendrick Lamars is leading the nominations.
Speaker 5 (34:09):

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
