Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Goes KIM six forty. This is the Andy Reesmayer Show.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. So nice to
(00:27):
be with you here on this Sunday almost just you know,
getting squeezing out of the weekend here and if you've
got those Sunday scaries, whatever the hell that is, it's
probably starting to set in. But we'll keep you a
company here through the rest of the hour. At least.
Chris Merrill coming up at four o'clock. We'll check in
with him as well, ahead of his big debut on
(00:50):
the Monday through Friday show Monks and Merrill starting on Tuesday,
so that'll be really fun. You can also get in
touch with the KFI AM sixty of the iHeartRadio app.
You can leave a message for us and Kayla will
put it in a folder and I'll click the folder
open and I'll play it. Do we have any messages
(01:10):
already or we just kind of we're still well. One
person sent us a message from Alabama saying they just
wanted to see if it worked. Oh so I didn't
think you needed to play that way? Is that because
of us? Or because of the issues of technology in Alabama.
I think it's a combination, okay, because that's it's fair
fair to be concerned or questioning on both both sides
of that. I wanted to update you on a story
(01:31):
we're talking about yesterday, which is that there are a
considerable number of Wendy's that are going to be closing,
some five to six percent of their restaurants. And the
only reason I'm saying this is because we started the
conversation in the last hour about how I was trying
to remember what body part ended up in a Wendy's
bowl of chili, and there was a lot of debate,
(01:54):
and we thought maybe it was a toe, maybe it
was a finger, it was the tip of a finger.
And I'm learning about this because NPR actually has an
article called a History of Human Fingers Founded Fast Food,
which I would love to get into with you. I
don't have enough time here, but let me just specifically
(02:14):
go back to the Wendy's finger hoax of two thousand
and five, where in March of that year, Anna Ayala
claimed that she had found a human finger in a
bowl of Wendy's chili at a location in San Jose, California.
I don't know if it's going to be closing, by
the way, maybe it's already closed. But of course that,
if you recall, caused nationwide panic. Things were a lot
(02:36):
easier back then. Life was just we had a lot
less going on and two and a half million dollars
loss in sales for Wendy's, or as that one reporter called.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It, flips its strategy.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Let's talk about this as the burger giant.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The burger giant. That was such a perfect execution of
what I was trying to do. Right there, Anna Ayala
allegedly planted the finger herself and Eileen, you were wondering
where this finger came from exactly her? Hers, her husband?
Well yeah, I mean if it was hers, that would
have been really insane. The lady without a finger found
(03:15):
a finger in her chili, and they were like, where'd
you get She was like, what a coincidence. You're like, ma'am, ma'am,
let me see your fingers, let me see your hands. No,
it was her husband, I guess who lost it in
an industrial accident, which, like you can only laugh about
because she put it in a bowl of chili. They
(03:39):
she and her husband were planning on suing the restaurant
for a large payout. And and oh it was an
associate of her husband. Oh my god, this story. She
was sentenced to nine years in prison and her husband
was sentenced to twelve years in prison.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So it was an associate. So her her husband's associate.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Husbands is so stid.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are they just like, hey, here's what we're gonna do fingertip?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, you'll get a cut of it, which was not
a word that he was happy that they used. They
were very upset that he used that word. Coming up
this week in Los Angeles, there's gonna be a lot
of rain, Eileen, Are you battening down the hatches?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
No, no, because you're a grown up.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well, I mean I don't live in a burn scar
zone untimately, so I think I think I'll be okay.
I mean, I grew up in Texas where there's tons
of rain all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah. First of three storms, this will be the most significant.
Starting overnight. There are a lot of evacuations in areas
around the Palisades fire burn scar zone area, the Hurst
fire burn scar and the Sunset fire burn scar. And
I think if you live there, you already know you
know what to do. This is not something that is
uncommon after a fire where there is a lot of
concern about that, the landslides that might come from that,
(04:53):
so lots to be aware of. And of course you
can just keep you here on CAFI as far as
that storm goes. I know they'll cover it just enough,
not too much. You might hear it covered too much
other places. But kay, if I will do it, we'll
do it right. Joining me in studio now is mister
James Reddick, who has been a caller to this show before,
longtime caller, first time listener.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Longtime caller, first time listeners. So happy to be here
in person. Andy, what a tree?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah for you, I'm sure it's great the thing that
I wanted to talk to you about since you're a
mortgage broker and we're always talking about cool housing news.
Eileen is a realtor as well, so maybe you guys
can Yeah, we need to talk. You guys can talk.
Mortgage rates are close to three year lows. What does
that mean for people who are maybe in the market
(05:39):
of refinancing, maybe they feel like they are ready for
it or what are we actually looking at here as
far as what that means, is it like round six
percent a little lower?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well, you know, it depends. If you want to refinance
and have your cost covered by the lender, which is
typically what I recommend, then you're probably looking it's slightly
higher than six percent, because if six percent is kind
of your base rate, you can absolutely get that, but
you're not going to get any credit credit from the lender,
and then your refinance is going to cost you five
thousand dollars. I'd rather have six and a quarter, pay
(06:12):
nothing for the refinance, and then if I want to
refinance again in you know, ten months a year, I can.
I didn't pay anything for the last one, and I'm
not going to pay anything for the next one.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That's the idea.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
So six might be ambitious, but honestly still possible. It
really just depends on the scenario.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, And there have been a lot of sixes that
I've heard in the past year or so, right, Like,
we're not it's not like they've dropped to the point
where this is very unusual. We've been sort of in
the low sixes, high fives.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Correct, So when we talk about three year lows, we're
not talking about five percent or you know, I saw
four point five percent advertised the other day online.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That's got to be a lie, right when you see that,
Because I even get stuff in the mail that says,
here's what your new payment's going to be, here's the
new rate. It's four and a half percent, And I
think that's got to be a scam.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, And often it's not necessarily a scam. What it
is is a deal that is it's probably a ten
year fixed rate loan, and it is probably eight hundred
credit plus only, And it's a very very specific parameter
because it's illegal for them to advertise a product that
isn't actually available, and I think sometimes that does happen,
(07:18):
but generally it's just a product that no one's actually
really going to fit in that, you know, in that box,
or want to have a ten year you know, ten
year loan. It's over, you know, whatever amount they want
it to be over.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So what do you recommend for people who maybe are
in that six ish maybe six two five? Is is
there enough room for them to call their mortgage broker
and ask or what do you think? I think there's
always room to ask.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean, if you're above seven percent, you should call
you should call somebody if you know me, if not somebody,
if you're over six and a half, it's worth a
conversation to see what you can do. Honestly, Like, if
you're at six, you know, maybe you have some optunity there,
especially if you're willing to go into an ARM, because
(08:02):
a lot of folks who purchased in the last four
years are in thirty thirty or fix, right, So if
you're willing to flip to an ARM, we're now seeing
ARM rates and kind of the five six two five
range five point five five six two five, So you
may still have some options there even if you have
you know, six percent. So what I would recommend is
having a kind of a working conversation with somebody who
(08:25):
is a professional in the field, who's going to keep
an eye on this for you.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, just track rates and let you know when it
makes sense for you. I'm excited to see what happens,
especially because I know that the market has sort of
maybe slowed a bit, at least in southern California it
has over the past year or so, and I think
that I imagine if rates come down a little bit more,
you'll see more people jumping into buy homes. We certainly hope.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
So, you know, I think we saw really kind of
a nice little spike in January, and there was this
hint that maybe we had turned a corner. The rates
are now below six percent, maybe that's going to be
the trigger point that's going to you know, kind of
cause things to pick up. And then in February it
backed off a little bit again.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What is interesting also is I know that you've you
lived in Los Angeles for a long time and you
can obviously write loans anywhere, but you are now up
in the Bay Area, and it is a tale of
two cities when you talk about southern California versus how
hot the Bay Area is.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yes, absolutely, in San Francisco, I think a lot of
the AI money that has flown into the city. I mean,
you're seeing a lot of homes listed for one, three, one,
four that are going for two to one, you know,
and they had fifteen offers, twenty offers.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That's crazy, So there really is. I think it's like
that was in LA three years ago. You know, it
was crazy. Homes were ten offers on homes regularly, and
I just don't don't I don't know, Aileen, you probably
know better for sure, but I just don't hear that
kind of craziness here.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
If it's priced right in the right location, you can
get those bidding warns.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, not always amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, and Eileen, would you often would you agree to that?
Sometimes the price is listed artificially low.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Just to that's exactly. It's so hard to explain this
to people. Sometimes you list low and that just creates
a friendly frenzy. People want what they can't have. They
start beating up.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Great, Well, well, we have more to talk about here
coming up very shortly. Here we're going to play solo.
The solo you're.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It is KIM six forty. This is the Andy Reesmeyer Show.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app as always. You
can reach me on the Internet and Andy ktla if
you like. If you like to use Instagram, I'm there.
If you like Twitter, I'm also there. The artist formerly
known as Twitter Join it in studio by mister music Man,
Jack Primavera and hell so James Reddick, who's carrying over
(10:51):
You're hanging on from the last hour. Oh, I'm hanging yeah.
So we're happy that you're here. And we were playing
the show, playing a game rather on the show called solo.
This favorite game. We play a little bit of a
clip from an artist and we have it's the isolated solo, right,
So you don't get the music, you don't get the
drums or the bass. It's literally just the track. And
(11:13):
then you got to guess who the artist is, who
played the song, or who played the guitar, and the
name of the song. So we have a caller on
the line. We have Clinton calling us on this Sunday afternoon. Clinton.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
How you doing, brother, Yeah, I'm doing great, man.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
It's a beautiful day, just out here enjoying this cool weather.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That's great. What part of the listening area you're calling from.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I'm calling from Orange County, Testin.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh Hey, are you near the Jewelry Exchange?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I am actually right by the Jewelry Exchange.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's good. They are advertiser with this station. We love
the Jewelry Exchange in Tustine. I just got a ring.
They're amazing. That's incredible. I got to tell you this
is not a sponsored conversation. But now that we've done it,
I mean, maybe you and I should get a discount,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Think you know, hey, if they want to, all.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Right, Clinton, So we played it before we went to break.
Let us listen here to this solo, and then once
we do, give us the artist, the name of the song,
and the guitarist. If you can think of it, ready,
here we go. Do you have an idea?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Hendrick?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You know what? That is a great guess. And that's
why I picked this one because it does sound a
lot like Jimmy Hendrix. The tone is very hendrixy. The
it sounds like what's the song that the almost one
for one rip of? Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Yeah, well I don't want to say that yet because
it might spoil it, but it sounds a little bit.
The overall song is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, but it's not that song. Not that song to know,
So that is incorrect, Clinton, But I think i'll tell
you what stick on the line. We got another one
coming up here in a second, and we'll give you
a second shot at that. But since we're in studio
here with all of these musicians, these music people, Eileen,
you know it?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Oh I failed wait.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Do you thought it was Jimi Hendricks? O? Foxy lady,
do you know it's not Lenny Kravitz, is it. It's
not Lenny Kravitz, it's Mario. I gotta tell you something, buddy,
give us a hint. It's never gonna be Lenny Kravitz.
What you don't like Lee, No, I do like Lenny Kravitz.
Le So it's like, come on, James, do you know
I believe it's sixpence none? Rich, Yeah, that's definitely not it. Okay,
(13:20):
Jack Bromavera, what is it?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
It is California's Heroes. The Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist
is John Freuschante, and it is Danny California.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, that was totally my guests. Oh Caylea really yeah, Kyla,
you have a list of the answers in front of him.
Oh yeah, but you can play along if nobody gets it.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
But Clinton said Jimmy Hendrix it was his guests, And
it's a perfect kind of guess because John Freuchante loves
Jimmy Hendrix. Very inspired by Yes, especially with Stadium Arcadium,
the record that this was on, he wanted to do
the guitar hero thing and just that tone.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
It's just beautiful voodoo child, right or is it purple haze?
Kind of sounds like the intro to Dan. It's a
little yeah, yeah, we're very good. They're fired by that.
Oh absolutely, all right, Here we continue on Clinton. Stand
by for the next solo. On solo, the solo. Are
you guys ready, everybody ready?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Ready?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
All right? That is screaming. That's a less pole if
there ever was one. That is an incredible guitar solo.
And I think we may have stumped everybody. But let's
go to Clinton first. Stevie ray vaugh I don't know.
That's a good guess. It is not Stevie rayvaugh but
but but you're kind of I would say it's it's
(14:35):
it's a little newer than a Stevie Rayvaughn song. Jack
do you know? I do not know, But can we
play it again? Yes, one more time? Stand by anybody? Eileen,
do you know? I'm stumped? Mario stumped as well. Kayla knows.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I do know, But I'm going to make a guess
on the guitarist while not knowing the song.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, is it slash? It is not slash, but it's
a good guess because it's very slash esque. The guitarist
is Richie sam bor Uh. Oh, we got a Little
Joe and Jovi. That is the solo from Maybe maybe
our caller knows. Let's see, should we should we check
with deb in Santa Barbara. Sorry, that's okay, stand on
(15:15):
the line. We'll play for the next one. Yes, Eileen,
what is your.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Guest living on a prayer?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh? Close, No, it is another major hit. That's I
think a newer one. I mean newer relatively speaking. It's
newer than that song. No, no, no no, it is
a solo from Nope, have a Nice Day, the one
song I don't like. That's the least I told you.
(15:40):
It was too easy last time, so now we had to.
We had to kick it up and not right. We've
got more people on the line here, so deb keep
playing as well. And we have another person named dj
DJ who's calling. I wonder if that means they're disc
jockey disc jockey or it's like you know, I mean
like DJ DJ. Perhaps we'll say, uh, take a listen
to this next song on solo, the solo. Okay, do
(16:01):
we have any guesses on that one?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
But me, no, I can't.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Oh, this is this is tough, I think, does does
Eileen Gonzalez have a guess?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's I'm still playing the song in my head. I
kind of know it.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
It's a seventy song.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Please don't does it go rolling as Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I know, I know it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That's my clue for everyone. Well, that's I'm sure I
know it is. I know who it is. Go ahead, Eileen,
who is it? That's right? And the song is almost
proud Mary is the name of the song played by
John Foger. Yes, that's correct. There you go. All right,
very good. We got more callers on the line, so
we will continue this game right after the break. It
(16:48):
is solo, the solo here on k IF I AM
six forty. This is the Andy Reesmeyer Show. Please gets
a call if you'd like to play. We got a
couple of people in standby waiting to test their music
metal Here.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I AM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
This is the Andy Reesmeyer Show with your host Andy Reesmeyer.
That makes sense, right. Shannon Farren, by the way, texted
me after I was talking about their teas for tomorrow.
A big announcement coming up. Someone is retiring, and I
said is it mister bumper Puss, who's been a big
part of their show for a long time, And she
(17:26):
texted me saying she spit out her water, And then
I'm assuming that mister bumper Puss will not be retiring
based on her reaction. However, you might have to listen
to Gary and Shannon tomorrow to find out. Another thing
that happened this morning, which just shows how warped my
brain is. We had an article on KTLA dot com.
The headline is search underway for Los Angeles Poet Laureate.
(17:47):
And what was my first reaction?
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
No, who took the poet laureate? And I think it's
because we've been talking about about, you know, people who've
been kidnapped lately, and I was like, oh god, we
had a poet laureate what I'm talking about? And I
thought they took the search center way for the poet laureate.
But as it turns out, we're just looking for a
(18:10):
poet laureate, someone to name the poet laureate. Here are
the things that you are being required of that are
being required rather of this position an accomplished poet. I
don't know that there's a living accomplished poet. There's not
a lot I mean more, you know what I mean.
It's got to be a pretty small group of It's
not a lucrative it's just not We don't know about
(18:30):
a lot of poets. Yeah. Is it a poet named
Laureate though? Oh that would be the name. Is it
poet comment Laureate? Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. La Mayor Karen bassays,
Los Angeles thrives when every voice has the opportunity to
be heard, and this poet, Lauriate Laureate will ensure that
people from all backgrounds can share their work, engage communities
(18:52):
across every neighborhood, and inspire Angelina's of all ages. You
can apply at a link that was written on this
article that was printed out. It just says you can
apply at this link. It doesn't actually say where, So
I can't click this piece of paper, but if you
want to google it, I'm sure you can find some
more information there. Not to be negative. I mean that's
(19:12):
a really big ask. Yeah, can we just say the
big job? Oh to be the poet Lauriate of Los
Angeles describe with the description there, Oh to do all that?
That is a big ask.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I've written some poems myself, but to cross, you know,
to check every one of those boxes, right, it seems
I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Have to withdraw. You're not going to apply it, that's fine.
You're gonna stick with the mortgage broker and brokering the mortgage,
That's fine. They also say that this poet laureate will
use poetry and spoken word to inspire, celebrate, and amplify
the voices of Los Angeles diverse communities. I like how
she calls everybody in Angelino. I don't hear that a
(19:47):
lot used by anybody other than the mayor. It is
what it is. I also got some good news for
us people who are alive. Death at least is not
the end on Facebook has patented technology that can keep
your social media presence long after you're gone. How great
turned out. The only way to keep people on Facebook
for life is to remove the life part. A patent
(20:11):
was granted in December. It uses AI to scan all
your posts, your comments, your likes to make a digital
stand in. That's pretty fun, right, We would love that,
wouldn't we great. It will then simulate your social media
activity responding to other content from real people from beyond
the grave, which means your ex could literally ghost you forever.
(20:33):
I like that. I have my guests in studio creating
a nice sort of natural peanut gallery for me. This
is fine. This reminds me when I did that late
night show with no audience and all the jokes had
to be added or the applause and laughter had to
be added in later because it was truly just a
room full of the crew and boy, they were sick
of my stuff laughing the same way. So it's going
(20:54):
to sound like a laugh track. They say that this
robot AI will like comment and reply, and there's even
some thought it could simulate audio and video calls. Wow,
why are we Why do we know that no one's
asking for it? Nobody asked for this very stupid Continuing
on with our little game here, we've got a couple
(21:14):
of other songs on solo. The solo joined in studio
by Mortgage Boker, James Reddick and music music man Jack
from a Vera producer on the voice, and also Elen
Gonzalez and Mario and Kayla as well. Uh. We were
talking about the John F. Chante song and or the
red Hot Chili Pepper song earlier and how everybody thought
(21:36):
that it was similar to a Jimmy Hendrix song, and
obviously John Fraschante was heavily influenced by Jimmy Hendrix. But
to show you how close that is, listen to Purple Hayes.
Now after having here heard Danny California and the solo,
that's Danny. That's not what we was that and that
wasn't Danny California. That was actually Purple Hayes. We'll continue
(21:57):
on here and we've got a couple more songs to
try to identify what the solo is from just isolated solo,
solo and the solo, what the song is, who the
artist is, and who played the guitar solo? If you
can guess it, Oh, I got it, Jack knows it. Clinton.
Are you still there, brother.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
I'm still here.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I do not got it, but I'd love to hear
Jack's answer. Oh, okay, before we know, because Jack definitely
knows Eileen, do you know sounds very familiar? It does
sound familiar. Yeah, no, yeah, Oh close, that's a good guess.
Oh really think carcin Oh not him, right him?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
This I'll give a clue because I went to I
went to the show last year at the Rose Bowl
for the big reunion, and it was incredible. There were
two Los Angeles dates.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I got it, Yeah, Oasis.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yes, for all those that did not get it, please
do not look back in anger.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
If you don't look back in anger, Oh, very very good.
All right, we've got another one here that I'll play
here as we go to break and you can all
think about it, and then we will guess on the
other side of the break here with Chris Merrill, who
will also join us, we'll just have a party in here.
We're gonna run out of microphones pretty quick on this
this KFI AM six forty. Take a LISTENFI AM six forty.
(23:14):
If you know it, give us a call one one
hundred five to zero one KFI one eight hundred five
to zero one five three four, and we will put
you on the show see Andy Reesmire show.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Just a couple of minutes here before we hand it
over to Chris Merril for I think what might be
one of his last Sunday shows before he gets out
on that Monday to Friday schedule. So that'll be very exciting.
As always, you can reach me on the iHeartRadio app
or on Instagram at Andy Ktla. Send us a DM
and we'll talk about it on the show. But we've
been playing this little game called solo, the solo, which
has been going so great for me. The game is
(23:54):
like I'll play us a clip and then Jack Brivava
will guess what it is, which is kind of neat too.
But we were just listening to this solo before the
break and we'll see if there's anybody who knows. This
is so hard. This is a song that I really
I gotta tell you, Mario, I put this in for you, brother.
It was all because of you. It's a big clue.
Do you know what it is? Do you know the song?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Jack?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I don't know this time. I didn't know as Lenny. Yes,
that is correct, Eileen. Did you know? You probably already knew.
I was on the vergeon that yeah, Yeah, that's awesome.
That's a cool song man. That is a that's a jam.
He is. He's an incredible musician, not just an amazing
guitarist and singer and songwriter, also an incredible drummer, great
(24:41):
bass player and like handsome as hell. He is. Jeez, jeez, Louise.
Al right, here's another one, and he guesses on that one. Nope,
anybody it sounded like it did sound like Lenny Kravitz.
This is tough. We got we got some hard things,
all right. One more time here and Chris Marrel joining
(25:03):
us in studio now to see if maybe he can
play solo. The solo guests, we'll see. I would never
in a million years would I be able to get
this one, but some people are big fans of this
band also seventies. I have a thought, you do? Is
there anything guessing? I mean, I'm I can't guess. I'm
not legally allowed to Leonard, it is not and it's
not Zoe krabbits Meryll. Do you have any idea? Zoe
(25:28):
Kravitz was my Well that was yours, so yeah, so
you're probably not too. The song was from the album
Get a Grip. The artist is Aerosmith. It is called Crying.
Came out nineteen ninety three, so I don't remember that
I had that album.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Can you skip that song? I must have that had.
Living on the Edge was the first track I remember.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, it's just so different without the drum beat, the bass.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's why, that's why it's fund all right, last one
here for you. I't hit him with it. It is
Billy Idol, Yes, that is Steve Stevens. Yes, and the
song is That's Dancer. Uh huh what did she say?
Maybe no, that's how did you rebel? Yeah? Yes, yeah, yeah,
(26:26):
all right, so close. You know what, this is a game.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
You know.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
When I started music, I started as a DJ on
on an oldie station. Not a single song was made
after the year I was born, and I was really
good at this stuff. But I've been away from music
radio so long. It's just, you know, I don't have
that reinforcement.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, because otherwise you would have been sitting there playing
Journey like probably four or five. I'm crying to you.
I just recognized that. No. Well, that's why this is
such a nightmare is because it basically turns the airwaves
into a guitar center on a Sunday afternoon. It's just
just a guy playing a solo for no one else
to hear, and then other people been like hoping that
(27:05):
someone else will guess what they're doing. Chris Merril in
studio with us. How are you feeling, brother, I'm all right,
I got to you know, the weather coming in. This
cold front that's coming in is giving me a sinus
headache and I'm just like my left eye, I think
it's gonna pop out of my head. I swear to
that fun for you. Yeah, so you are starting on
(27:26):
Tuesday with Monks, I know and terrified.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
It's you shouldn't be though, and everybody says that, But
here's here's the here's the truth. If it's solo show,
I know where I'm going. But it's a two person show,
which means that Michael and I we have to figure
out our work process.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We have to figure out our flow.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
I have to figure out the nuances of his speech,
he has to figure out mine, and so it could
be an absolute train wreck to start with.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We're gonna we're gonna see how this. First of all,
that's a pretty good tease because that's a good reason
for people to listen to see if for do they
talk over each other? Is there chemistry? I think anybody
could have chemistry with Monks and you as well, So
I don't I don't feel like that's I'm not concerned
about it. But again, like who am I? You know
what I mean?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
But if you're a performer, you want everything to be
right day one. Even the boss is like, he says,
don't worry about yeah, but you know it's day one.
Everybody's gonna be listening, They're gonna be tuning in to
go what's this all about?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
House?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
So there's gonna be a lot of ears on us, right,
and we don't want to screw it up. So even
though the boss says, hey, you know, take the pressure off,
like you can't, it's still there.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I totally hear you. And I think that there is
a thing that is uh with with TV a lot
of times and radio, any kind of new project, there's
a tendency to be like, we're going to do something
that's going to transform out the way you think about
the world. This is how CBS News did with the
Evening News when they put Tony Dakopel in Oh Yea.
(28:45):
The saying is, if you want to paint a Rembrandt,
don't tell anybody that you're painting red. And I think
it's a really good point, which is that like undersell it,
you know, coming and just be like, I don't know
what's going to happen, man, We're just going to try
to figure it out. But I imagine the excitement around
it because at the same time, and we can say
this right like that you're new ish to town though, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I haven't lived in Los Angeles before. No, I lived
in San Diego. And I've been on the air remotely
for the last you know, five years consistently and you know,
twelve years on and off.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, and so this is a big change for you,
not only to come and do this show, but also
to relocate to this fabulous metropolis. Indeed, this perfect place
that we have no complaints or issues with at all.
By the way, speaking of no complaints or issues, I
got a fund one for oh yeah, yeah, this show.
I get to I get this find a department and
(29:35):
and so one of the things that I was unfamiliar
with because the last time that I rented, I rented
in San Diego, and I think my wife took care
of all the paperwork, you know. So I find a
place here and they send me the lease, and I
couldn't believe how many different, you know, California nuances there were.
Lease It's like, you know, and you can't be evicted
if you have feline leukemia, so and all these other things.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
And then there's this long section about the crash, trash, recycling,
the black can, the blue, oh, the green can, right,
all of.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
This stuff, and there's no, don't mix them up. And
here's what happens, and here's how you do it.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
And these are the only things you can actually throw away,
and here's how you should and and it goes on
and on and on and on, and it's and it's
like you and I had to sign off on each
one of these pages, sign off, Oh yes, okay, And look,
I show up my apartment and I get the key
and the guy's given me the tour, and I said,
where's where's the recycling? And he goes, uh, he goes, oh,
(30:30):
are you bigg into recycling? He goes, well, he said,
I'm not militant about it.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And I always like, I want to do my part
if I'm not just making conversation bro right, I'm like yeah,
he says, uh, yeah, we don't really do that here. Well,
you know because a couple of years ago, wes that possible? Well,
but also and and I had an argument with my
girlfriend about this many times, which is that it all
goes to the same place now, like this is not
(30:58):
a real thing anymore. And every one who's being who's
crazy calling their neighbors, calling the police on their neighbors
because they put the wrong thing in the blue can
versus the whatever. It's it's so silly and so over
the top. But the other thing is that they don't
require although maybe this is a new rule that's changed now,
but for a long time in the valley, you did
not get a fridge with your apartment. They just changed
(31:19):
that this year. That's huge. They weren't required to furnish one.
And and so there were times when you could just
you'd buy a fridge, and then you would just go
around the city with your fridge. You'd move your fridge
from one apartment to the next, and that was like
the way that it went.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
I'm going to start a crusade to get that to
apply to washers and dryers next.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh yeah, even if there's you probably have in unit,
that was a that was a criteria.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
That's a deal breaker for me. And I looked at
a lot of places that I really liked they didn't
have washing and dryers.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Isn't that crazy that that's a thing that in this
modern era that people cannot have. I had that when
I when I moved. I lived in Studio City, and
I just didn't wash my clothes. I wore dirty clothes
for a long time because I was like, oh, no,
I was just fluff and fold. No, I'm not. No,
I was like twenty five years old. I was just
like oh. And then I'd go and like, I just like,
(32:10):
I mean, you're talking about that, I buy I'd go
buy new T shirts. Washing. Yeah, God, bless, I know.
I'm embarrassed. Even a TV I was not. I could
not afford that at the time. That's how bad I
was and how lazy I was. But I'm happy for you.
This is very exciting to see, uh this this happened,
and I'm happy for you to be in town now
(32:32):
and and to experience it on a day to day basis.
And I will say, like, I've lived here fifteen years,
and I know you. You're a worldly person and you've
been around, but you've fired a lot. Well, any good
person who works who continue if you've worked in media
for as long as we have, Oh, yeah, you've been fired.
They say you haven't worked in it, that's right. So
(32:54):
you know that the LA has this weird thing where
it's like you go through these phases of Oh, I God,
I hate it, I can't stand it. I love it,
I hate it. I can't say, you know, because it's
just so it requires so much more effort than any
other place that I ever lived. Yeah. Yeah, and you
really have to get out and do it because it's
so monotonous. You know, you can very easily get stuck
(33:15):
in the stress of it with the traffic and the
parking and the expense and all that stuff. It's like
you got to go see the city and experience it
and meet people and do the stuff because it's such
a cool place. Yeah. I wish I knew somebody that
knows people now, only you know, if you really had
access to new stuff. So best the best, the best
(33:35):
of luck, I guess sol. Aren't you appreciate that?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
No, very fun. What's happening on your show tonight? Uh,
storm of brewing, storm a brewin. We got the NBA
All Star Game happening right now. That's exciting. I know
you were talking about the Olympics as well. So did
you have you seen Jake Paul's girlfriend yet? The speed
skater from from the Netherlands. Oh, I don't know who,
I don't know nobody what you're talking. She's all over
(34:01):
the internet. Oh no, they know, they know. Just do
you'll see, You'll see she's beautiful. Yeah, why is she
with him? That's a great question that creaks me on. Yeah,
oh yeah, okay, I got it by yeah. Yeah, it's
turn safe search off. Here we go. How yeah, outstand
(34:26):
the aerodynamics, Yeah are surprising, indeed quite quite frankly, all right, Uh,
always a pleasure to see you. Best of luck, we'll
see it. This is the last Sunday show for a
last Sunday show forever.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
I guess the last time that Kayla's going to scream
show business is tonight unless we are able to incorporate
that during the week.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And I haven't talked to Michael about it yet. Well,
he's gotta say yet. I mean, you know, he's a
nice guy. Nobody has anything bad to say about Michael Monks.
He's very easy going. I know, same with me until
Oh you never know. You think you're going to become
a diva like a big hot shot.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
No, because I've been fired so much, I swear to you,
like my ego got parked a long time ago because
of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
No, well, I'm happy for it. It was just full imposter
syndrome that'll never go away. Yeah, not because of youth.
I was just yeah, exactly. You know, that's out, that's
all of us. Well, we'll be listening all the way
till seven o'clock right here kf I AM six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (35:20):
App, kf I AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Goes KIM six forty. This is the Andy Reesmayer Show.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. So nice to
(00:27):
be with you here on this Sunday almost just you know,
getting squeezing out of the weekend here and if you've
got those Sunday scaries, whatever the hell that is, it's
probably starting to set in. But we'll keep you a
company here through the rest of the hour. At least.
Chris Merrill coming up at four o'clock. We'll check in
with him as well, ahead of his big debut on
(00:50):
the Monday through Friday show Monks and Merrill starting on Tuesday,
so that'll be really fun. You can also get in
touch with the KFI AM sixty of the iHeartRadio app.
You can leave a message for us and Kayla will
put it in a folder and I'll click the folder
open and I'll play it. Do we have any messages
(01:10):
already or we just kind of we're still well. One
person sent us a message from Alabama saying they just
wanted to see if it worked. Oh so I didn't
think you needed to play that way? Is that because
of us? Or because of the issues of technology in Alabama.
I think it's a combination, okay, because that's it's fair
fair to be concerned or questioning on both both sides
of that. I wanted to update you on a story
(01:31):
we're talking about yesterday, which is that there are a
considerable number of Wendy's that are going to be closing,
some five to six percent of their restaurants. And the
only reason I'm saying this is because we started the
conversation in the last hour about how I was trying
to remember what body part ended up in a Wendy's
bowl of chili, and there was a lot of debate,
(01:54):
and we thought maybe it was a toe, maybe it
was a finger, it was the tip of a finger.
And I'm learning about this because NPR actually has an
article called a History of Human Fingers Founded Fast Food,
which I would love to get into with you. I
don't have enough time here, but let me just specifically
(02:14):
go back to the Wendy's finger hoax of two thousand
and five, where in March of that year, Anna Ayala
claimed that she had found a human finger in a
bowl of Wendy's chili at a location in San Jose, California.
I don't know if it's going to be closing, by
the way, maybe it's already closed. But of course that,
if you recall, caused nationwide panic. Things were a lot
(02:36):
easier back then. Life was just we had a lot
less going on and two and a half million dollars
loss in sales for Wendy's, or as that one reporter called.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It, flips its strategy.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Let's talk about this as the burger giant.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The burger giant. That was such a perfect execution of
what I was trying to do. Right there, Anna Ayala
allegedly planted the finger herself and Eileen, you were wondering
where this finger came from exactly her? Hers, her husband?
Well yeah, I mean if it was hers, that would
have been really insane. The lady without a finger found
(03:15):
a finger in her chili, and they were like, where'd
you get She was like, what a coincidence. You're like, ma'am, ma'am,
let me see your fingers, let me see your hands. No,
it was her husband, I guess who lost it in
an industrial accident, which, like you can only laugh about
because she put it in a bowl of chili. They
(03:39):
she and her husband were planning on suing the restaurant
for a large payout. And and oh it was an
associate of her husband. Oh my god, this story. She
was sentenced to nine years in prison and her husband
was sentenced to twelve years in prison.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So it was an associate. So her her husband's associate.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Husbands is so stid.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are they just like, hey, here's what we're gonna do fingertip?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, you'll get a cut of it, which was not
a word that he was happy that they used. They
were very upset that he used that word. Coming up
this week in Los Angeles, there's gonna be a lot
of rain, Eileen, Are you battening down the hatches?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
No, no, because you're a grown up.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well, I mean I don't live in a burn scar
zone untimately, so I think I think I'll be okay.
I mean, I grew up in Texas where there's tons
of rain all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah. First of three storms, this will be the most significant.
Starting overnight. There are a lot of evacuations in areas
around the Palisades fire burn scar zone area, the Hurst
fire burn scar and the Sunset fire burn scar. And
I think if you live there, you already know you
know what to do. This is not something that is
uncommon after a fire where there is a lot of
concern about that, the landslides that might come from that,
(04:53):
so lots to be aware of. And of course you
can just keep you here on CAFI as far as
that storm goes. I know they'll cover it just enough,
not too much. You might hear it covered too much
other places. But kay, if I will do it, we'll
do it right. Joining me in studio now is mister
James Reddick, who has been a caller to this show before,
longtime caller, first time listener.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Longtime caller, first time listeners. So happy to be here
in person. Andy, what a tree?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah for you, I'm sure it's great the thing that
I wanted to talk to you about since you're a
mortgage broker and we're always talking about cool housing news.
Eileen is a realtor as well, so maybe you guys
can Yeah, we need to talk. You guys can talk.
Mortgage rates are close to three year lows. What does
that mean for people who are maybe in the market
(05:39):
of refinancing, maybe they feel like they are ready for
it or what are we actually looking at here as
far as what that means, is it like round six
percent a little lower?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well, you know, it depends. If you want to refinance
and have your cost covered by the lender, which is
typically what I recommend, then you're probably looking it's slightly
higher than six percent, because if six percent is kind
of your base rate, you can absolutely get that, but
you're not going to get any credit credit from the lender,
and then your refinance is going to cost you five
thousand dollars. I'd rather have six and a quarter, pay
(06:12):
nothing for the refinance, and then if I want to
refinance again in you know, ten months a year, I can.
I didn't pay anything for the last one, and I'm
not going to pay anything for the next one.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That's the idea.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
So six might be ambitious, but honestly still possible. It
really just depends on the scenario.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, And there have been a lot of sixes that
I've heard in the past year or so, right, Like,
we're not it's not like they've dropped to the point
where this is very unusual. We've been sort of in
the low sixes, high fives.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Correct, So when we talk about three year lows, we're
not talking about five percent or you know, I saw
four point five percent advertised the other day online.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That's got to be a lie, right when you see that,
Because I even get stuff in the mail that says,
here's what your new payment's going to be, here's the
new rate. It's four and a half percent, And I
think that's got to be a scam.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, And often it's not necessarily a scam. What it
is is a deal that is it's probably a ten
year fixed rate loan, and it is probably eight hundred
credit plus only, And it's a very very specific parameter
because it's illegal for them to advertise a product that
isn't actually available, and I think sometimes that does happen,
(07:18):
but generally it's just a product that no one's actually
really going to fit in that, you know, in that box,
or want to have a ten year you know, ten
year loan. It's over, you know, whatever amount they want
it to be over.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So what do you recommend for people who maybe are
in that six ish maybe six two five? Is is
there enough room for them to call their mortgage broker
and ask or what do you think? I think there's
always room to ask.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean, if you're above seven percent, you should call
you should call somebody if you know me, if not somebody,
if you're over six and a half, it's worth a
conversation to see what you can do. Honestly, Like, if
you're at six, you know, maybe you have some optunity there,
especially if you're willing to go into an ARM, because
(08:02):
a lot of folks who purchased in the last four
years are in thirty thirty or fix, right, So if
you're willing to flip to an ARM, we're now seeing
ARM rates and kind of the five six two five
range five point five five six two five, So you
may still have some options there even if you have
you know, six percent. So what I would recommend is
having a kind of a working conversation with somebody who
(08:25):
is a professional in the field, who's going to keep
an eye on this for you.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, just track rates and let you know when it
makes sense for you. I'm excited to see what happens,
especially because I know that the market has sort of
maybe slowed a bit, at least in southern California it
has over the past year or so, and I think
that I imagine if rates come down a little bit more,
you'll see more people jumping into buy homes. We certainly hope.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
So, you know, I think we saw really kind of
a nice little spike in January, and there was this
hint that maybe we had turned a corner. The rates
are now below six percent, maybe that's going to be
the trigger point that's going to you know, kind of
cause things to pick up. And then in February it
backed off a little bit again.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What is interesting also is I know that you've you
lived in Los Angeles for a long time and you
can obviously write loans anywhere, but you are now up
in the Bay Area, and it is a tale of
two cities when you talk about southern California versus how
hot the Bay Area is.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yes, absolutely, in San Francisco, I think a lot of
the AI money that has flown into the city. I mean,
you're seeing a lot of homes listed for one, three, one,
four that are going for two to one, you know,
and they had fifteen offers, twenty offers.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That's crazy, So there really is. I think it's like
that was in LA three years ago. You know, it
was crazy. Homes were ten offers on homes regularly, and
I just don't don't I don't know, Aileen, you probably
know better for sure, but I just don't hear that
kind of craziness here.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
If it's priced right in the right location, you can
get those bidding warns.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, not always amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, and Eileen, would you often would you agree to that?
Sometimes the price is listed artificially low.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Just to that's exactly. It's so hard to explain this
to people. Sometimes you list low and that just creates
a friendly frenzy. People want what they can't have. They
start beating up.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Great, Well, well, we have more to talk about here
coming up very shortly. Here we're going to play solo.
The solo you're.
Speaker 1 (10:25):

You're hanging on from the last hour. Oh, I'm hanging yeah.
So we're happy that you're here. And we were playing
the show, playing a game rather on the show called solo.
This favorite game. We play a little bit of a
clip from an artist and we have it's the isolated solo, right,
So you don't get the music, you don't get the
drums or the bass. It's literally just the track. And
(11:13):
then you got to guess who the artist is, who
played the song, or who played the guitar, and the
name of the song. So we have a caller on
the line. We have Clinton calling us on this Sunday afternoon. Clinton.

I am actually right by the Jewelry Exchange.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's good. They are advertiser with this station. We love
the Jewelry Exchange in Tustine. I just got a ring.
They're amazing. That's incredible. I got to tell you this
is not a sponsored conversation. But now that we've done it,
I mean, maybe you and I should get a discount,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Think you know, hey, if they want to, all.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Right, Clinton, So we played it before we went to break.
Let us listen here to this solo, and then once
we do, give us the artist, the name of the song,
and the guitarist. If you can think of it, ready,
here we go. Do you have an idea?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Hendrick?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You know what? That is a great guess. And that's
why I picked this one because it does sound a
lot like Jimmy Hendrix. The tone is very hendrixy. The
it sounds like what's the song that the almost one
for one rip of? Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Yeah, well I don't want to say that yet because
it might spoil it, but it sounds a little bit.
The overall song is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, but it's not that song. Not that song to know,
So that is incorrect, Clinton, But I think i'll tell
you what stick on the line. We got another one
coming up here in a second, and we'll give you
a second shot at that. But since we're in studio
here with all of these musicians, these music people, Eileen,
you know it?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Oh I failed wait.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Do you thought it was Jimi Hendricks? O? Foxy lady,
do you know it's not Lenny Kravitz, is it. It's
not Lenny Kravitz, it's Mario. I gotta tell you something, buddy,
give us a hint. It's never gonna be Lenny Kravitz.
What you don't like Lee, No, I do like Lenny Kravitz.
Le So it's like, come on, James, do you know
I believe it's sixpence none? Rich, Yeah, that's definitely not it. Okay,
(13:20):
Jack Bromavera, what is it?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
It is California's Heroes. The Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist
is John Freuschante, and it is Danny California.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, that was totally my guests. Oh Caylea really yeah, Kyla,
you have a list of the answers in front of him.
Oh yeah, but you can play along if nobody gets it.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
But Clinton said Jimmy Hendrix it was his guests, And
it's a perfect kind of guess because John Freuchante loves
Jimmy Hendrix. Very inspired by Yes, especially with Stadium Arcadium,
the record that this was on, he wanted to do
the guitar hero thing and just that tone.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
It's just beautiful voodoo child, right or is it purple haze?
Kind of sounds like the intro to Dan. It's a
little yeah, yeah, we're very good. They're fired by that.
Oh absolutely, all right, Here we continue on Clinton. Stand
by for the next solo. On solo, the solo. Are
you guys ready, everybody ready?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Ready?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
All right? That is screaming. That's a less pole if
there ever was one. That is an incredible guitar solo.
And I think we may have stumped everybody. But let's
go to Clinton first. Stevie ray vaugh I don't know.
That's a good guess. It is not Stevie rayvaugh but
but but you're kind of I would say it's it's
(14:35):
it's a little newer than a Stevie Rayvaughn song. Jack
do you know? I do not know, But can we
play it again? Yes, one more time? Stand by anybody? Eileen,
do you know? I'm stumped? Mario stumped as well. Kayla knows.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I do know, But I'm going to make a guess
on the guitarist while not knowing the song.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, is it slash? It is not slash, but it's
a good guess because it's very slash esque. The guitarist
is Richie sam bor Uh. Oh, we got a Little
Joe and Jovi. That is the solo from Maybe maybe
our caller knows. Let's see, should we should we check
with deb in Santa Barbara. Sorry, that's okay, stand on
(15:15):
the line. We'll play for the next one. Yes, Eileen,
what is your.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Guest living on a prayer?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh? Close, No, it is another major hit. That's I
think a newer one. I mean newer relatively speaking. It's
newer than that song. No, no, no no, it is
a solo from Nope, have a Nice Day, the one
song I don't like. That's the least I told you.
(15:40):
It was too easy last time, so now we had to.
We had to kick it up and not right. We've
got more people on the line here, so deb keep
playing as well. And we have another person named dj
DJ who's calling. I wonder if that means they're disc
jockey disc jockey or it's like you know, I mean
like DJ DJ. Perhaps we'll say, uh, take a listen
to this next song on solo, the solo. Okay, do
(16:01):
we have any guesses on that one?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
But me, no, I can't.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Oh, this is this is tough, I think, does does
Eileen Gonzalez have a guess?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's I'm still playing the song in my head. I
kind of know it.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
It's a seventy song.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Please don't does it go rolling as Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I know, I know it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That's my clue for everyone. Well, that's I'm sure I
know it is. I know who it is. Go ahead, Eileen,
who is it? That's right? And the song is almost
proud Mary is the name of the song played by
John Foger. Yes, that's correct. There you go. All right,
very good. We got more callers on the line, so
we will continue this game right after the break. It
(16:48):
is solo, the solo here on k IF I AM
six forty. This is the Andy Reesmeyer Show. Please gets
a call if you'd like to play. We got a
couple of people in standby waiting to test their music
metal Here.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I AM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
This is the Andy Reesmeyer Show with your host Andy Reesmeyer.
That makes sense, right. Shannon Farren, by the way, texted
me after I was talking about their teas for tomorrow.
A big announcement coming up. Someone is retiring, and I
said is it mister bumper Puss, who's been a big
part of their show for a long time, And she
(17:26):
texted me saying she spit out her water, And then
I'm assuming that mister bumper Puss will not be retiring
based on her reaction. However, you might have to listen
to Gary and Shannon tomorrow to find out. Another thing
that happened this morning, which just shows how warped my
brain is. We had an article on KTLA dot com.
The headline is search underway for Los Angeles Poet Laureate.
(17:47):
And what was my first reaction?
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
No, who took the poet laureate? And I think it's
because we've been talking about about, you know, people who've
been kidnapped lately, and I was like, oh god, we
had a poet laureate what I'm talking about? And I
thought they took the search center way for the poet laureate.
But as it turns out, we're just looking for a
(18:10):
poet laureate, someone to name the poet laureate. Here are
the things that you are being required of that are
being required rather of this position an accomplished poet. I
don't know that there's a living accomplished poet. There's not
a lot I mean more, you know what I mean.
It's got to be a pretty small group of It's
not a lucrative it's just not We don't know about
(18:30):
a lot of poets. Yeah. Is it a poet named
Laureate though? Oh that would be the name. Is it
poet comment Laureate? Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. La Mayor Karen bassays,
Los Angeles thrives when every voice has the opportunity to
be heard, and this poet, Lauriate Laureate will ensure that
people from all backgrounds can share their work, engage communities
(18:52):
across every neighborhood, and inspire Angelina's of all ages. You
can apply at a link that was written on this
article that was printed out. It just says you can
apply at this link. It doesn't actually say where, So
I can't click this piece of paper, but if you
want to google it, I'm sure you can find some
more information there. Not to be negative. I mean that's
(19:12):
a really big ask. Yeah, can we just say the
big job? Oh to be the poet Lauriate of Los
Angeles describe with the description there, Oh to do all that?
That is a big ask.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I've written some poems myself, but to cross, you know,
to check every one of those boxes, right, it seems
I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Have to withdraw. You're not going to apply it, that's fine.
You're gonna stick with the mortgage broker and brokering the mortgage,
That's fine. They also say that this poet laureate will
use poetry and spoken word to inspire, celebrate, and amplify
the voices of Los Angeles diverse communities. I like how
she calls everybody in Angelino. I don't hear that a
(19:47):
lot used by anybody other than the mayor. It is
what it is. I also got some good news for
us people who are alive. Death at least is not
the end on Facebook has patented technology that can keep
your social media presence long after you're gone. How great
turned out. The only way to keep people on Facebook
for life is to remove the life part. A patent
(20:11):
was granted in December. It uses AI to scan all
your posts, your comments, your likes to make a digital
stand in. That's pretty fun, right, We would love that,
wouldn't we great. It will then simulate your social media
activity responding to other content from real people from beyond
the grave, which means your ex could literally ghost you forever.
(20:33):
I like that. I have my guests in studio creating
a nice sort of natural peanut gallery for me. This
is fine. This reminds me when I did that late
night show with no audience and all the jokes had
to be added or the applause and laughter had to
be added in later because it was truly just a
room full of the crew and boy, they were sick
of my stuff laughing the same way. So it's going
(20:54):
to sound like a laugh track. They say that this
robot AI will like comment and reply, and there's even
some thought it could simulate audio and video calls. Wow,
why are we Why do we know that no one's
asking for it? Nobody asked for this very stupid Continuing
on with our little game here, we've got a couple
(21:14):
of other songs on solo. The solo joined in studio
by Mortgage Boker, James Reddick and music music man Jack
from a Vera producer on the voice, and also Elen
Gonzalez and Mario and Kayla as well. Uh. We were
talking about the John F. Chante song and or the
red Hot Chili Pepper song earlier and how everybody thought
(21:36):
that it was similar to a Jimmy Hendrix song, and
obviously John Fraschante was heavily influenced by Jimmy Hendrix. But
to show you how close that is, listen to Purple Hayes.
Now after having here heard Danny California and the solo,
that's Danny. That's not what we was that and that
wasn't Danny California. That was actually Purple Hayes. We'll continue
(21:57):
on here and we've got a couple more songs to
try to identify what the solo is from just isolated solo,
solo and the solo, what the song is, who the
artist is, and who played the guitar solo? If you
can guess it, Oh, I got it, Jack knows it. Clinton.
Are you still there, brother.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
I'm still here.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I do not got it, but I'd love to hear
Jack's answer. Oh, okay, before we know, because Jack definitely
knows Eileen, do you know sounds very familiar? It does
sound familiar. Yeah, no, yeah, Oh close, that's a good guess.
Oh really think carcin Oh not him, right him?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
This I'll give a clue because I went to I
went to the show last year at the Rose Bowl
for the big reunion, and it was incredible. There were
two Los Angeles dates.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I got it, Yeah, Oasis.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yes, for all those that did not get it, please
do not look back in anger.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
If you don't look back in anger, Oh, very very good.
All right, we've got another one here that I'll play
here as we go to break and you can all
think about it, and then we will guess on the
other side of the break here with Chris Merrill, who
will also join us, we'll just have a party in here.
We're gonna run out of microphones pretty quick on this
this KFI AM six forty. Take a LISTENFI AM six forty.
(23:14):
If you know it, give us a call one one
hundred five to zero one KFI one eight hundred five
to zero one five three four, and we will put
you on the show see Andy Reesmire show.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Just a couple of minutes here before we hand it
over to Chris Merril for I think what might be
one of his last Sunday shows before he gets out
on that Monday to Friday schedule. So that'll be very exciting.
As always, you can reach me on the iHeartRadio app
or on Instagram at Andy Ktla. Send us a DM
and we'll talk about it on the show. But we've
been playing this little game called solo, the solo, which
has been going so great for me. The game is
(23:54):
like I'll play us a clip and then Jack Brivava
will guess what it is, which is kind of neat too.
But we were just listening to this solo before the
break and we'll see if there's anybody who knows. This
is so hard. This is a song that I really
I gotta tell you, Mario, I put this in for you, brother.
It was all because of you. It's a big clue.
Do you know what it is? Do you know the song?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Jack?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I don't know this time. I didn't know as Lenny. Yes,
that is correct, Eileen. Did you know? You probably already knew.
I was on the vergeon that yeah, Yeah, that's awesome.
That's a cool song man. That is a that's a jam.
He is. He's an incredible musician, not just an amazing
guitarist and singer and songwriter, also an incredible drummer, great
(24:41):
bass player and like handsome as hell. He is. Jeez, jeez, Louise.
Al right, here's another one, and he guesses on that one. Nope,
anybody it sounded like it did sound like Lenny Kravitz.
This is tough. We got we got some hard things,
all right. One more time here and Chris Marrel joining
(25:03):
us in studio now to see if maybe he can
play solo. The solo guests, we'll see. I would never
in a million years would I be able to get
this one, but some people are big fans of this
band also seventies. I have a thought, you do? Is
there anything guessing? I mean, I'm I can't guess. I'm
not legally allowed to Leonard, it is not and it's
not Zoe krabbits Meryll. Do you have any idea? Zoe
(25:28):
Kravitz was my Well that was yours, so yeah, so
you're probably not too. The song was from the album
Get a Grip. The artist is Aerosmith. It is called Crying.
Came out nineteen ninety three, so I don't remember that
I had that album.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Can you skip that song? I must have that had.
Living on the Edge was the first track I remember.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, it's just so different without the drum beat, the bass.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's why, that's why it's fund all right, last one
here for you. I't hit him with it. It is
Billy Idol, Yes, that is Steve Stevens. Yes, and the
song is That's Dancer. Uh huh what did she say?
Maybe no, that's how did you rebel? Yeah? Yes, yeah, yeah,
(26:26):
all right, so close. You know what, this is a game.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
You know.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
When I started music, I started as a DJ on
on an oldie station. Not a single song was made
after the year I was born, and I was really
good at this stuff. But I've been away from music
radio so long. It's just, you know, I don't have
that reinforcement.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, because otherwise you would have been sitting there playing
Journey like probably four or five. I'm crying to you.
I just recognized that. No. Well, that's why this is
such a nightmare is because it basically turns the airwaves
into a guitar center on a Sunday afternoon. It's just
just a guy playing a solo for no one else
to hear, and then other people been like hoping that
(27:05):
someone else will guess what they're doing. Chris Merril in
studio with us. How are you feeling, brother, I'm all right,
I got to you know, the weather coming in. This
cold front that's coming in is giving me a sinus
headache and I'm just like my left eye, I think
it's gonna pop out of my head. I swear to
that fun for you. Yeah, so you are starting on
(27:26):
Tuesday with Monks, I know and terrified.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
It's you shouldn't be though, and everybody says that, But
here's here's the here's the truth. If it's solo show,
I know where I'm going. But it's a two person show,
which means that Michael and I we have to figure
out our work process.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We have to figure out our flow.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
I have to figure out the nuances of his speech,
he has to figure out mine, and so it could
be an absolute train wreck to start with.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We're gonna we're gonna see how this. First of all,
that's a pretty good tease because that's a good reason
for people to listen to see if for do they
talk over each other? Is there chemistry? I think anybody
could have chemistry with Monks and you as well, So
I don't I don't feel like that's I'm not concerned
about it. But again, like who am I? You know
what I mean?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
But if you're a performer, you want everything to be
right day one. Even the boss is like, he says,
don't worry about yeah, but you know it's day one.
Everybody's gonna be listening, They're gonna be tuning in to
go what's this all about?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
House?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
So there's gonna be a lot of ears on us, right,
and we don't want to screw it up. So even
though the boss says, hey, you know, take the pressure off,
like you can't, it's still there.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I totally hear you. And I think that there is
a thing that is uh with with TV a lot
of times and radio, any kind of new project, there's
a tendency to be like, we're going to do something
that's going to transform out the way you think about
the world. This is how CBS News did with the
Evening News when they put Tony Dakopel in Oh Yea.
(28:45):
The saying is, if you want to paint a Rembrandt,
don't tell anybody that you're painting red. And I think
it's a really good point, which is that like undersell it,
you know, coming and just be like, I don't know
what's going to happen, man, We're just going to try
to figure it out. But I imagine the excitement around
it because at the same time, and we can say
this right like that you're new ish to town though, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I haven't lived in Los Angeles before. No, I lived
in San Diego. And I've been on the air remotely
for the last you know, five years consistently and you know,
twelve years on and off.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, and so this is a big change for you,
not only to come and do this show, but also
to relocate to this fabulous metropolis. Indeed, this perfect place
that we have no complaints or issues with at all.
By the way, speaking of no complaints or issues, I
got a fund one for oh yeah, yeah, this show.
I get to I get this find a department and
(29:35):
and so one of the things that I was unfamiliar
with because the last time that I rented, I rented
in San Diego, and I think my wife took care
of all the paperwork, you know. So I find a
place here and they send me the lease, and I
couldn't believe how many different, you know, California nuances there were.
Lease It's like, you know, and you can't be evicted
if you have feline leukemia, so and all these other things.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
And then there's this long section about the crash, trash, recycling,
the black can, the blue, oh, the green can, right,
all of.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
This stuff, and there's no, don't mix them up. And
here's what happens, and here's how you do it.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
And these are the only things you can actually throw away,
and here's how you should and and it goes on
and on and on and on, and it's and it's
like you and I had to sign off on each
one of these pages, sign off, Oh yes, okay, And look,
I show up my apartment and I get the key
and the guy's given me the tour, and I said,
where's where's the recycling? And he goes, uh, he goes, oh,
(30:30):
are you bigg into recycling? He goes, well, he said,
I'm not militant about it.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And I always like, I want to do my part
if I'm not just making conversation bro right, I'm like yeah,
he says, uh, yeah, we don't really do that here. Well,
you know because a couple of years ago, wes that possible? Well,
but also and and I had an argument with my
girlfriend about this many times, which is that it all
goes to the same place now, like this is not
(30:58):
a real thing anymore. And every one who's being who's
crazy calling their neighbors, calling the police on their neighbors
because they put the wrong thing in the blue can
versus the whatever. It's it's so silly and so over
the top. But the other thing is that they don't
require although maybe this is a new rule that's changed now,
but for a long time in the valley, you did
not get a fridge with your apartment. They just changed
(31:19):
that this year. That's huge. They weren't required to furnish one.
And and so there were times when you could just
you'd buy a fridge, and then you would just go
around the city with your fridge. You'd move your fridge
from one apartment to the next, and that was like
the way that it went.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
I'm going to start a crusade to get that to
apply to washers and dryers next.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh yeah, even if there's you probably have in unit,
that was a that was a criteria.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
That's a deal breaker for me. And I looked at
a lot of places that I really liked they didn't
have washing and dryers.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Isn't that crazy that that's a thing that in this
modern era that people cannot have. I had that when
I when I moved. I lived in Studio City, and
I just didn't wash my clothes. I wore dirty clothes
for a long time because I was like, oh, no,
I was just fluff and fold. No, I'm not. No,
I was like twenty five years old. I was just
like oh. And then I'd go and like, I just like,
(32:10):
I mean, you're talking about that, I buy I'd go
buy new T shirts. Washing. Yeah, God, bless, I know.
I'm embarrassed. Even a TV I was not. I could
not afford that at the time. That's how bad I
was and how lazy I was. But I'm happy for you.
This is very exciting to see, uh this this happened,
and I'm happy for you to be in town now
(32:32):
and and to experience it on a day to day basis.
And I will say, like, I've lived here fifteen years,
and I know you. You're a worldly person and you've
been around, but you've fired a lot. Well, any good
person who works who continue if you've worked in media
for as long as we have, Oh, yeah, you've been fired.
They say you haven't worked in it, that's right. So
(32:54):
you know that the LA has this weird thing where
it's like you go through these phases of Oh, I God,
I hate it, I can't stand it. I love it,
I hate it. I can't say, you know, because it's
just so it requires so much more effort than any
other place that I ever lived. Yeah. Yeah, and you
really have to get out and do it because it's
so monotonous. You know, you can very easily get stuck
(33:15):
in the stress of it with the traffic and the
parking and the expense and all that stuff. It's like
you got to go see the city and experience it
and meet people and do the stuff because it's such
a cool place. Yeah. I wish I knew somebody that
knows people now, only you know, if you really had
access to new stuff. So best the best, the best
(33:35):
of luck, I guess sol. Aren't you appreciate that?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
No, very fun. What's happening on your show tonight? Uh,
storm of brewing, storm a brewin. We got the NBA
All Star Game happening right now. That's exciting. I know
you were talking about the Olympics as well. So did
you have you seen Jake Paul's girlfriend yet? The speed
skater from from the Netherlands. Oh, I don't know who,
I don't know nobody what you're talking. She's all over
(34:01):
the internet. Oh no, they know, they know. Just do
you'll see, You'll see she's beautiful. Yeah, why is she
with him? That's a great question that creaks me on. Yeah,
oh yeah, okay, I got it by yeah. Yeah, it's
turn safe search off. Here we go. How yeah, outstand
(34:26):
the aerodynamics, Yeah are surprising, indeed quite quite frankly, all right, Uh,
always a pleasure to see you. Best of luck, we'll
see it. This is the last Sunday show for a
last Sunday show forever.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
I guess the last time that Kayla's going to scream
show business is tonight unless we are able to incorporate
that during the week.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And I haven't talked to Michael about it yet. Well,
he's gotta say yet. I mean, you know, he's a
nice guy. Nobody has anything bad to say about Michael Monks.
He's very easy going. I know, same with me until
Oh you never know. You think you're going to become
a diva like a big hot shot.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
No, because I've been fired so much, I swear to you,

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.
