Genre-creating Grateful Dead sadly lost its co-founder Bob Weir this weekend at the age of 78. Weir and his iconic band embodied the sound of 1960s counterculture jam bands. Palate expanders are back. It’s a little barbaric bar that’s placed in the top of your mouth and turned with a little key to make your mouth wider if you’re dealing with overcrowding. Following last week’s killing of American protester Renee Nicole Good at the hands of an ICE agent in Minneapolis, there’s as many as 1000 protests scheduled across the country, including DTLA, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. A new Instagram page from a Catholic priest influencer, Father Solomon Grea, offers sage advice to followers. But it’s not real. That’s right, folks, the priest is AI. Which brings us to our robot apocalypse update: KTLA’s Rich DeMuro headed to CES 2026 in Las Vegas to check out the latest tech. CHP and the DMV are launching a program targeting speeding drivers who exceed 100mph, in which they send the ticket directly to the DMV.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
This is the Andy Reesmire Show. I'm Andy Reestmeyer. That
makes a lot of sense, right. We'll be with you
all the way till four o'clock on this Sunday, January eleventh,
just after two pm, live from Burbank. We've got so
much coming up on the show tonight. I cannot wait.
Check this out. Tuna has sold in Los Angeles for
(00:28):
three point two million dollars. Now that would even get
you a nice house in LA where you can try
a bite of that fish. Plus, why is a something
that seems like a medieval torture device so popular in orthodontics?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's an expanding problem.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Plus a Catholic priest influencer is growing online by the
thousands every hour. But do many people know that he
is ai? I don't think so, not judging by any
of the comments. Plus, it is a Golden Globe day
here in Los Angeles. That's pretty exciting, you know for
(01:10):
people who are involved in the industry, celebrities that are
all getting ready gonna go drink a little bit at
the Beverly Hilton and then hopefully win. And we'll see
on social media later them posting eating at the in
and out down the street.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's the right of passage.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now, if you win an award at a ceremony, you
have to go to in and out afterwards. We're going
to tell you what to expect, but more importantly, how
it will affect driving in Los Angeles. I think I
don't know if this is a misprint, but I believe
that parts of Wilshire Boulevard will be closed until nine
pm on Wednesday. That's according to KTLA, which I've worked
(01:48):
there for eight years. We sometimes get things wrong. We
got a little shout out from from a Trump administration,
a cabinet member, and it has not been good for
our social media. That's probably not a surprise to most people,
(02:10):
but that's been fun. Also, I want to talk about
some news out of the valley that happened earlier today.
Police standoff has ended with an arrest in Northridge after
a man armed with a machete was reportedly threatening people
and smashing a car window early Sunday. This happened on
Bryant Street. Started at five o'clock in the morning, and
(02:34):
then I saw that the news was there throughout the morning,
and finally it looks as if that man was taken
into custody without too much extra drama.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But man not a vibe.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Additionally, you might have seen this there was a video
up in San Francisco where these two coyotes were in
I think Chrissy Field, which is near Golden Gate near
the Golden Gate Bridge in the Marina area, northern part
of the Peninsula and a very common walking area where
people will just take their dogs and go on strolls
and run around and stuff like that. And these coyotes
were just playing with trash and you're seeing that all
(03:10):
over because it's mating season for coyotes. Oliver, do we
have any coyote mating music?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I can find some. Yeah, just set the tone for
these guys.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And of course they are all over in southern California
as well. Just this morning heard the story about coyote
roman around Dodger Stadium. A couple of people were on
a behind the scenes tour on Saturday when they looked
over close to the dugout and a coyote was in
(03:47):
the stands. They're everywhere. I like to see them, you know.
It was the weirdest thing. I had a convertible for
a little while because I was trying to do that
la thing. I basically I moved here and I thought,
how can I become an eighties super villain? So I
bought an old BMW convertible because I thought that's a
good way to sort of fulfill this messed up fantasy
(04:11):
in my head. So I'm driving down Los Field's Boulevard.
It's a couple of years ago, and I look over
to the left and I see and this is right
before the five freeway, and I think it's Riverside that
goes up through the park. And I'm right at the intersection,
and I got the convertible top down because it's a
beautiful day and I'm living out this twisted fantasy that
I had of myself being an evil eighties supervillain. And
(04:35):
I looked over and there's a family of coyotes. It
was a hot day. They were just hanging out, probably
four cubs with mom, and I mean there were like
ten fifteen feet away, just chilling at the base the afternoon,
chilling at the base of this hill. And I looked
at the mom, I looked at the kids. They looked
at me, just a little direct eye contact. I realized
(04:56):
that was very vulnerable little head nod they she had
nodded back to me and it just went went on
my way. But we'll get into more of the coyote
info later on in the show. But I want to
go back to the Golden Globes because I think what
is most interesting to people is just how it's going
to affect us as far as the lane closures go.
(05:17):
Santa Monica Boulevard, anywhere over in Beverly Hills, especially in
that intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard. There's
a couple of hotels there. There's the Beverly Hilton, but
then there's also the oh Man. It's a really fancy
hotel that I would never stay at, couldn't afford it.
They have a rooftop bar, also very expensive. But WoT
your drive Carmelita, Elvado, Lomitas, Trenton. All the alleyways around
(05:41):
there closed on Friday. They'll be closed all the way
until Monday at six am. So avoid it if you can.
But here's a little backstory and what's to come for
the show tonight. Celebrities in the room are just like
on a different level. Julia Robbers, Leo DiCaprio.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's all the people that were like on my wall
as a kid.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yeah, the red carpet is in place, and Niki is
ready for all the Golden Globe vets.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I like Nicki Glazer she hosted last year, and I
think the thing that was so great about what last
year's Nicki Glazer experience was is that it was a
sort of departure from the effusive celebrity backscratching that you'll
see a lot. There was legitimate roasting going on, and
Nicki Glazer has been known as a great roast comedian.
(06:36):
I met her a couple of years ago. I had
her on a show I was doing for a company
called full Screen million years ago and probably like twenty sixteen,
and she also roasted me. I was not expecting that
I was a little more green in my career, and
I was also like, oh man, does she actually not
like me? And maybe she didn't, I don't know, but
she was really funny. She took issue with pronounced it
(07:00):
a rangutan, which is how you say it, but she
was like, it's a rangutang. Everybody says a rangutang.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Roasted me.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
She's also saying she's not focusing on politics as much.
She's a great practice practice comedian where she will go
out and she will do these sets over and over
and over again, try out her material and really dial
it in. And so obviously there's a lot of political
stuff to talk about right now. I think most people
(07:29):
are sick of hearing from celebrities about their political opinions.
I just think it's whatever side of the aisle you're on,
you're like, I get it. Majority of them, we're preaching
to the choir anyway. But I think you tune into
that to not watch a lot of people claim moral
superiority over everybody else, because the other thing is like outside,
(07:52):
outside of even a political thing, to watch a bunch
of people get up on stage and tell you how
to live and tell you how to have a moral
compass when not all of them, but many of them
are fifteen feet away from their age are their assistance
that they absolutely abuse, that they scream at all the time, and.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
How big are their mansions that they live in.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It's gross.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But I think that with with with Nikki at least,
that she's going to focus more on just roasting all
of the people who are there, which I think we
can all agree that's fun. It's punching up, not not
against any of that. I also feel like that, well,
I will say this, I'm there's a lot to think
(08:44):
about as far as like the shows go.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But LA is it's been tough to last year. There's
a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
There's kind of a cloud hanging over Hollywood, a dim
a sort of sadness, and I want it's like within
the context of, oh, we're doing these shows and they're
still in la let's celebrate all these television shows and
movies that were not made here.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's a weird feeling at the very least.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I said, this is enough.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I've known this enough.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
So what to watch for Sunday when the Globes air
live on CBS and Paramount Plus One Battle after Another
will be the film to beat With the most nominations
at nine, they include acting nods for Leo and Chase Infinity.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
What does it mean to be including that the same
category as Cynthia Arrivo, Kate Hudson, and Emma Stone.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I mean, I'm honestly pinching myself. I can't get over
that in my brand, but I feel so so grateful
Cynthia Rivo will not be in attendance as the Globes could.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
This is what I hate about doing the Red Carpets
is because you have to ask these very generic questions
and you know you're just gonna get very generic answers,
and it's it's like there's a level of fluff that
I understand as part of entertainment journalism, which is a
silly I thing to even say, but I just it's like, Okay, yeah,
you're grateful, great, happy, glad you are. Why did we
(10:09):
We didn't doubt that I couldn't. You know what it's
like when you watch a press conference from the NFL
and everyone talks about there's a lot of adversity that
we had to overcome, and the teams showed and I'll
say it wrong because they always say it wrong, resiliency.
The team just showed that they're resilient. They were showing resilience.
They didn't show resiliency. That's not how that works.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Cynthia Revo will not be in attendance as the Globes
conflict with her West End show Dracula. As for Leo,
We're gonna go ahead and manifest a Romeo and Juliet
thirtieth anniversary reunion with Claire Danes, who's nominated for the Beast.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
In Me and he's actually amazing at what he does.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Would you guys like to see that? Eileen?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Are you holding out for Claire Danes Le DiCaprio reunion?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You know, I wasn't a big fan of it to
begin with.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Ye So, you know, I mean she's great, He's I
like her. I think she's amazing, and he is great. Yeah,
he's amazing, just.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Not like it's not on my bingo board to be like,
I've got to see that Rea not.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
On my bingo board.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
And you know, I'm a fan of his and all,
but I don't know, he's just a little obnoxious, you
know in real life where I just kind.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Of have you me Yea, I was going to say,
wait a minute, I.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Mean it seems like it.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I mean, his whole dating thing, who knows, I don't
know him, judge that he's actually a really nice guy
in real ley good strangely like a really nice guy.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
I guess the whole media thing around him just kind
of as a turn off. So I just don't really
pay that much attention to him.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's hard to avoid the idea that this man keeps
getting older and still dating people who are under twenty five.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
Yeah, I see that.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
That just I think that's a little Yeah, that's living
the dream in my will.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, I've got lots to not talk about here still
coming up, including how you can get your hands on
that three point two million dollar tuna.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's what I'm excited about here.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Additionally, why kids everywhere are getting pallettes expanded, and why
if you want to paint a Rembrandt, the first step
to painting a Rembrandt is to not tell people that
you are getting into the new CBS evening news anchors
very bad, not so good.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
First week you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I just moved my head to clear my throat a
little bit, smack my microphone into my headphones. That's how
things are going right now for me. I was so
sick last week. I went up to San Francisco, had
a great time visiting my friends. I'm so blown away.
I've been saying it. I will not stop saying it.
That city is on the rebound in a huge way.
(12:42):
I've go up probably every I got great friends up there,
So I go up a lot, and for probably twenty years,
I've been going there and to see that city go
through boom and bust and boom and bust over and
over and over again. I mean, look, this is not
a new thing. It's been happening since eighteen forty nine
when they discovered gold in them their heels. But the
last cup of years, especially post pandemic boil boy, was
(13:03):
it a bummer to think about how things are in
Hollywood or downtown Los Angeles. You go up there and
it was the same thing, but like times five. Yes,
the human feces, yes, the the fentyfold, the zombie apocalypse,
(13:23):
vibes of the of the Tenderloin. Right, all of this
is very well documented and known. But in just a year,
and I think a lot of it. There's a lot
of reasons for it, but in just a year, that
city has basically been transformed. Yes, there are still issues,
but man, it is so clean. It's so different. There's
(13:46):
a sense of life and excitement and vibe. I had
so much of San Francisco that I got a cold.
I mean, I was up there in the rain, but
I came back of it. You know, and even still
feeling kind of crummy. It was just like, man, this
place is so awesome. New Mayor Daniel Lurry was elected
(14:06):
rather last year, and I think it's done a lot
to clean up the place, prosecute peoplehen they break the law,
try to get people not only into housing but also
drug treatment.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
What a concept. So yes, there's still problems, of course,
but if you.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Add a new sense of accountability from the government, plus
all the money coming in from big tech and AI,
it's a pretty interesting combination. It's pretty compelling, and in
a place that had really started to see people leave
in a major way. Remember during the pandemic when all
the tech, the big tech people were like, well we
could just move to Wyoming, we can just work from
(14:45):
home forever, and so the city kind of emptied out.
But it does feel like things are going better there,
and I highly recommend taking a trip up there and
seeing it if you can. It may be hopeful for
Los Angeles because of the issues that we have here
are of course the same issues that they had up
there and still have up there. But to hear the
(15:06):
elected officials say we see you. You're not crazy for
being upset about this, and We're going to do something
to make it better. There's an energy. That's a cool city.
It's a beautiful fit. Like the nature of it. We've
got great weather down here, don't get me wrong, but
they might have us on the natural beauty of the bay,
the architecture. It's crazy that you can just stand pretty
(15:30):
much anywhere in that city and look around and see
something beautiful.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
It is one of the most beautiful cities in America.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
How romantic it's like, it's so na oh yeah, and
especially oh Man during the rain, I was like, am
I am I Raymond Chandler right now? Am I Philip
Marlowe walking around solving crimes?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I wasn't. I was just going to dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But it is a gorgeous place and if you get
a chance, go check it out for sure. Want to
talk about the news anchor that can't stop talking about himself,
I'm not talking about me. CBS Evening News has a
new anchor, and boy, oh boy, the pomp and circumstance
(16:12):
around Tony D.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Koppel.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
There have been so many big, splashy news stories recently.
The news should never be about the news, but Barry
Wise CBS News, that's everything that's going on right now.
Every single move that they make is under the microscope. Remember,
she was appointed by the new owner of Paramount, which
(16:38):
owned CBS News, Barry Weiss, had run a thing called
The Free Press, which was a sort of libertarian I
don't know if I've seen people describe it as maga curious,
which I don't know if that even is an overstatement,
but was sort of a libertarian publication. She had worked
at The New York Times, was sort of semi canceled,
started doing things on her own on Twitter. I think
she's obviously very unabashedly pro Israel. So she gets implemented
(17:05):
or she gets rather placed as the head of CBS News,
and a lot of people said, WHOA, this is crazy.
She's never run a news organization before. She's had a
little bit of controversy. There was that sixty Minutes episode
that was pulled that was about Trump because she felt
like there wasn't enough reaction from the President. And the
other big story now is that she, as the head
(17:27):
of CBS, has appointed Tony Dakoppel as the new CBS
Evening News anchor, and the amount of publicity going on
around his anointing coincided with a sea change. I think
in the mantra of CBS News. Remember this was the
(17:50):
same network that not long ago said we're going to
change things. Tony comes out and does a whole statement.
He says, for too long, we've listened to experts and
not to you, the American people. For too long, we've
been the elitist coastal media, and now no longer. I've
been frustrated too. How frustrated, I don't know. He's worked
(18:13):
for this company for quite some time. He was the
morning CBS Morning's anchor. Does it feel pandury to me?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
As a news consumer, Do I think that things are
really going to massively change within the.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Manhattan offices of CBS News.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I also feel like it's okay to listen to experts.
You shouldn't just go see what the regular Joe's are
saying all the time. You should, as a journalist, try
to find the truth, what a concept that is. Sometimes
the experts know the truth, sometimes they don't. You're not
(18:54):
supposed to listen to advocates either, And so this week
there have been a series of gaffes I guess you
could say, or at least interesting moments that the media, who,
by the way, traditional media already has it out for
the new CBS News because of where they think they
stand politically now, been very critical of Tony's ascension here
(19:19):
to anchorman, to.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Other news now to Governor Walls.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
No, we're gonna do Mark Kelly first day, first day,
big problems.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Here, Tony dakop Yeah, okay, so that was a flub
on Monday. Sure, he also cried when he talked about Miami.
People don't like that. Ultimately, it feels a little bit
like it's an all about me kind of thing. And
I think if you want to do something really different
and cool, the best way to do it is just
(19:50):
do it. Hyping yourself up only sets you up for failure.
I remember this thing that somebody told me a while ago,
which I love and I think about all the time,
which is that if you want to paint a rem Brand,
you cannot tell people you're going to paint a rem Brand,
and Brand is a famous painter. You just have to
sort of do it. All in all, maybe they've done
(20:14):
something right because the raidings are up by about a
half a million compared to when the former anchors were
there On CBSC be music. I don't know. We'll see
a lot of people just checking in. I'm sure to
see if it was a train wreck or not.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Real excited about the Chargers tonight. Who's going out, mister Boone.
We're gonna go see the Chargers, Eileen, We're gonna go.
We're going going down to are they playing it?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Is it a home game?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Are they playing here?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm gonna go watch it a local Chargers bar. I
won't say the bar in case I don't end up going.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
But those games sure are fun. I went to the
Eagles Chargers game.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, absolutely, that was a That's a great game for.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
The say something that's gonna get a lot of people angry.
But I rooted for the Eagle.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Oh my god, well you lost.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
You lost?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I know it.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It was a crazy game. I got a crazy game,
so many turnovers.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Now do you now? How come Eagles for you?
Speaker 11 (21:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I just I started to like them. I grew up
being a Cowboys fan. That was my team. I'm from Texas.
But I just can't deal.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
You're gonna go down air with the Eagles. Then John,
I tell you what, I got a friend who's a
real Philly girl. She's a photographer at Katailann and Meredith
Gunning and she is one of the funniest people I've
ever met in my life. But she went to that
game there, and she's texting me the whole time saying,
I knew, I knew Han, I knew it wasn't gonna
go all right for me.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Got to get out of here. So she left it
like halftime.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yeah, I don't let it affect me. Yeah, but I
like the Broncos.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah, well that's my team.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Speaking of other things that are sort of eye raising,
eyebrow raising, Uh, I'm gonna do this, I think on
the show and the k Tailing Morning News tomorrow, there's
a trend of people who have been cooking their hot
thoughts on a grill in the packaging, like taking the
packaging and throwing the packaging with the eight dogs in
(22:07):
a package.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Isn't that toxic?
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Wow, they're just doing it and it's all over TikTok,
and people are claiming that this is fine.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
And does it melt the packaging?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, yes, of course. Microplastics are becoming macroplastics.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yum.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Some trends are fun, some are dangerous. Slightly.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
This is just like makes you worry about the future
of the human race.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Just chase that with a tide pod.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Friend, We're out of yeah right, we're out of microplastics
into macroplastics. Because yes, the thought is, according to some
of these MENSA members who are posting videos about this
it's mostly dudes, of course, is that if you cook
the hot dog in the package, it I guess makes
(23:01):
them more juicy. The water doesn't all evaporate and you
have a juicier dog. I've also never been like, man,
this hot dog is dry. Have you ever had a
problem with a dry hot dog?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Maybe if they have like low fat versions.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I mean I grew up eating soy dogs. They're called
them smart dogs, and I was amazed when I finally
had a real hot dog because I was like, wow,
tastes exactly like the fake one. And I think the
reason is because there's so little actual meat in a
hot dog, it's not that hard to fake. But yeah,
that's a Darwin's Finest. People grilling their hot dogs in
(23:41):
the packaging. Please, All right, here's the story that'll make
you happy.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
It is a mystery to Minnie. In one East Tennessee town,
a car backed into a parking spot is the unofficial
welcome to Gallinburg. Tennis reporter Andrew McClung learned the history
and uncovered the mystery of the Gallenberg bmw OK.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
This is just one of those perfect local new news
packages that like, we don't get a lot of these
in LA because this is like you kind of need
to have a small town, not a lot of crime
going on, not a lot of police pursuit to protests,
big sporting events.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
In the Great Smoky Mountains. The city of Gatlinburg is
nestled away like a hole in the wall, a busy
city for hotels like Rocky Waters, motorin and innkeeper Keith Dalkey.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Probably I could say at least three hundred people in
and out of our.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
Hotel weekly because there is so much to do, visit
the world's most unusual golf course, or ride Ripley's mountain
coasters where Daniel Trinidad works. At least eight hundred plus
that's at least like a busy day.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You know, we have a lot in Los Angeles where
we don't have is quaint little roadside attractions like that
the world's most interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Mini golf course? Is that what he said?
Speaker 11 (25:00):
Or ride Ripley's Mountain. Hold on, visit the World's most
Unusual golf course.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Most unusual golf course doesn't say why.
Speaker 11 (25:08):
But there's one attraction you won't find in a pamphlet
or what the hell do you call it? Find in
a pamphlet?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Oh no, you.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Guys, I love a mispronunciation.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I love a miss I heard a frustrated on a
major on a major news organization, frustrated as opposed to
frustrated pamphlet, or oh my god, I love pamphlet that's delicious,
or by the way, I like these because it makes
me remember my own humanity.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I am.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I make a mistake every five seconds, so I'm not
trying to shame this man.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Love his voice, or buy a sign just on Google Maps.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
I've seen it there every single time.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You would be very surprised at how many people actually go.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And just for that.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
An attraction that fits like the city and the mountains.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Maybe three inches over the sidewalk.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Is a twenty thirteen BMW.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
David Parton, I have a three thirty five IBMW.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
He is the owner of the mysterious BMW that sits
right off the Parkway beside the old Partons Deli.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So if you're keeping track, the whole story is that
there is a black BMW Coop late model Tree series
that has just been parked on the side of the
street for a while.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
That's it where David lives and works just above it.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
Yeah, it's a sweet ride. It's it's better than zero
to sixty and five seconds. Yeah. I think it's not
really flashy, like it's not a fancy rich car. It's
just a Colin man's car.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
But his black car is anything but dole to visitors
like Wayne Dean.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
It's Gatlinburg Landmark comos.
Speaker 11 (26:58):
It was something part In himself didn't realize until a
few years back.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Some kid put on there it was the most iconic
attraction on the Parkway in Gatlinburg.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
Posted in a group on Facebook dedicated to the car,
created by Tyler Mount.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
I never really thought much about it, and I guess
they were tripped it, just like, oh, there's the car
still there.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
The car still there.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
I've enjoyed the people. I got a birthday card last
week with I don't know how many names for people.
I don't really know.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
This is amazing, but can you imagine if we had
so little going on here, that not only would we
be able to do news stories about stuff like this,
but that there could be a whole strange ground swell
of bluegrass style support. What's the word I'm looking for?
(27:48):
Not bluegrass?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Grassroots?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Thank you, grassroots support for grossroots for a random car
on the side of the street.
Speaker 11 (27:59):
David's a BMW can go from zero to sixty and
five seconds, but sometimes life can be quicker.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
I'm in complete remission. One particular cancer I have is
not really curable, but it's it's an in remission right now.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
David says, there can be some tough days, but those
days show sometimes the most ordinary moments hold the greatest support.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
I walk out the door and people blow their horn
and wave.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
There you have it, the mysterious BMW of Gatlinburg.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
From Andy Reesemeyer.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I'm accessible as always at Andy KTLA on Instagram, where
you can also leave us a message on the iHeartRadio
app look for the little microphone. A talkback is always welcome.
We will play it on the show. I mean, Nikki,
I don't think there's really been many scenarios where we
have not played a talkback.
Speaker 13 (29:05):
We have to clean them sometimes when there's a little
expletive here in them.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Which generally listen.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
We're all human, you know, we all guess sometimes we explicate,
we're all.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
A little bit CBS news anchor.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
We all cry when thinking about our hometowns that we
weren't able to go to.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
I mean, I would I do? Yeah, fun die.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh yeah, well that's what that's like. Thank you for
bringing it up. I'm sorry, down, I guess that's okay.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
How are they? How's your family doing?
Speaker 7 (29:35):
How are they?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
How are they hanging in now?
Speaker 13 (29:36):
They're fine, They're just a little like it's it's a
little bit of a messy situation down under it at
the moment. Yeah, I bet, yes, fires, racial reckonings, it's
it's great to be in America.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, well, we've never had any of those for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
No fires, no fires, no racial reckoning, no protests, no
no anger that we're vibes.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
We're vibes.
Speaker 13 (30:03):
They're actually looking into a fraud in Australia now among
certain communities, much like what they're doing in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Wow, do they have early luring children care? Child care there?
Speaker 13 (30:15):
It's a little different and it's a little different. It's
not the Somali community that's being under investigation, but it's
a similar thing that's happening there.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's fascinating. Also funded by the Australian government as far
as the.
Speaker 13 (30:30):
Royal Commissions, because you know, we still the main leader
of Australia is not the Prime Minister. It's the Governor
General who reports to the King of England.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Okay, now I'm starting to this is all starting to go. Great.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
What we're royal subjects of the UK. Yeah, yeah, so
we report to.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
The King, got it?
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Do you have a parliament?
Speaker 13 (30:51):
We do. We have like a British parliament style of operation.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's Australia, yes, And there is a prime Minister, but
he doesn't do anything or.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
Does a lot not a lot of good stuff. He's
kind of useless. But the Governor General is above him,
and the Governor General is the representative from England.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
This sounds very complicated.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
We're little convict subjects.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Is it working?
Speaker 6 (31:15):
I guess?
Speaker 13 (31:16):
I guess it's We're known as you know, this is
the land of the free.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Australia is known as the Lucky country.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Oh we're good.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Yeah, we're lucky.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah yeah, fires, racial reckoning aside all.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
The good stuff, that's shootings.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Oh boy, all right, well hard turn from that. Let's
go back to San Francisco.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
We and tonight in San Francisco, aside from the Golden
gate Bridge, there's probably no more famous landmark in the
Bay Area than the painted Ladies, and our Weekend Journal,
CBS's e Tai Hodge shows us how one man has
been fighting to keep the beloved homes picture perfect.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Okay, this is what we over there is in San Francis.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
When an old Victorian is feeling a little pale, Doctor
Color makes.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
A house call. This is prior right here.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
But this physician doesn't prescribe pills. He orders plum teal
and the occasional dash of real gold.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Why twenty four carrid.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Gold, because it's going to last twenty five or thirty years.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
San Francisco is known for its colorful Victorians, and few
people have shaped that signature look more than doctor Color,
otherwise known as Bob Buckder.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
We're talking eighteen thousand jobs just in San Francisco.
Speaker 10 (32:36):
Eighteen thousand, his latest patient, a Victorian from the eighteen seventies,
currently owned by Sue Pierce.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
You want to have the you know, the colors relate
to each other in you know, in that classic way.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
When you know, when you see these beautiful Victorians around town.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
You know, I think the thing is so crazy is
that you'll notice when you go there, it's not like
the homes are green or red. They are gold, maroon, purple,
maybe teal trim, and some white. It's crazy how many
colors that these homes are.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
A Victorian from the eighteen seventies, currently owned.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
By Sue Pearce.
Speaker 10 (33:14):
You want to For years, many of these homes fell
out of fashion and into disrepair, until the nineteen sixties,
when the so called colorist movement started reimagining them in
bright new hues.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Probably got to have a new name for that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Probably weren't thinking of the sixties, calling that that's not
a good idea.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Bucktor quickly became one of the most visible figures in
that revival, even picking out the palette for two of
the city's most iconic Victorians, known as the Painted Ladies.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
What's kind of wild about this, too, is that those
colors are not really the way that they appeared when
they were built, which I think is a big new misnomer.
I mean, I had thought, oh, yeah, it's a Victorian
that they were like, look like a crazy colors. But no,
the homes in the sixties in San Francisco, especially the Victorians,
were considered way outdated, undesirable, as you heard, had fallen
(34:07):
completely in disrepair in a lot of cases. And so
the hippies, because they didn't have any money but lived
in Hayte Ashbury, which wasn't far away, went and bought
all of these homes or at least occupied them, and
then painted them real psychedelic colors as.
Speaker 10 (34:20):
The Painted Ladies. Ben Zotto, an author who literally wrote
the book on Bucktor, says these once overlooked homes are
now some of the most coveted real estate in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
A Painted Lady was on the market not long ago.
It Steiner Street, which is just off of Alamo Square.
That's where the Painted Ladies are, which is kind of
Hayes Valley. If you're familiar with the neighborhood and the
whole stretch that you see in all of the paintings
and the pictures and stuff, like that.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
The opening for.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Full house, five bedroom, two and a half bath, twenty
five hundred square foot home. The zestimate right now is
three point two million dollars, which actually, like, I don't know,
my brain is warped because I've lived in Los Angeles
for fifteen years. That doesn't sound like it's that much
money for that much house.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
That's pretty good for San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
That's pretty good for San Francisco. I wasn't thinking it's
gonna be a lot more than that. But you know,
who knows these estimates are. They're crazy. One of them
is five point two million, supposedly, so I think anything
is possible. Obviously, very cool up there coming up in
the next hour, expanding our horizons by expanding our mouths.
(35:36):
Why is it that the new riddle in for kids
involves a crank in their mouths?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Yikes.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Plus, we're remembering Bob Weir, who died this weekend at
seventy eight years old. Was the co founder of The
Grateful Dead. And as far as protests go, people still
are protesting in Los Angeles today, will tell you where
they are. And a film permit is coming back, or
at least film permitting is changing in Los Angeles in
(36:04):
the attempt to lure more production back here. As we
continue on this Andy Reesemeyer Show on this Sunday, Golden
Globes
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Day, KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
This is the Andy Reesmire Show. I'm Andy Reestmeyer. That
makes a lot of sense, right. We'll be with you
all the way till four o'clock on this Sunday, January eleventh,
just after two pm, live from Burbank. We've got so
much coming up on the show tonight. I cannot wait.
Check this out. Tuna has sold in Los Angeles for
(00:28):
three point two million dollars. Now that would even get
you a nice house in LA where you can try
a bite of that fish. Plus, why is a something
that seems like a medieval torture device so popular in orthodontics?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's an expanding problem.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Plus a Catholic priest influencer is growing online by the
thousands every hour. But do many people know that he
is ai? I don't think so, not judging by any
of the comments. Plus, it is a Golden Globe day
here in Los Angeles. That's pretty exciting, you know for
(01:10):
people who are involved in the industry, celebrities that are
all getting ready gonna go drink a little bit at
the Beverly Hilton and then hopefully win. And we'll see
on social media later them posting eating at the in
and out down the street.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's the right of passage.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now, if you win an award at a ceremony, you
have to go to in and out afterwards. We're going
to tell you what to expect, but more importantly, how
it will affect driving in Los Angeles. I think I
don't know if this is a misprint, but I believe
that parts of Wilshire Boulevard will be closed until nine
pm on Wednesday. That's according to KTLA, which I've worked
(01:48):
there for eight years. We sometimes get things wrong. We
got a little shout out from from a Trump administration,
a cabinet member, and it has not been good for
our social media. That's probably not a surprise to most people,
(02:10):
but that's been fun. Also, I want to talk about
some news out of the valley that happened earlier today.
Police standoff has ended with an arrest in Northridge after
a man armed with a machete was reportedly threatening people
and smashing a car window early Sunday. This happened on
Bryant Street. Started at five o'clock in the morning, and
(02:34):
then I saw that the news was there throughout the morning,
and finally it looks as if that man was taken
into custody without too much extra drama.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But man not a vibe.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Additionally, you might have seen this there was a video
up in San Francisco where these two coyotes were in
I think Chrissy Field, which is near Golden Gate near
the Golden Gate Bridge in the Marina area, northern part
of the Peninsula and a very common walking area where
people will just take their dogs and go on strolls
and run around and stuff like that. And these coyotes
were just playing with trash and you're seeing that all
(03:10):
over because it's mating season for coyotes. Oliver, do we
have any coyote mating music?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I can find some. Yeah, just set the tone for
these guys.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And of course they are all over in southern California
as well. Just this morning heard the story about coyote
roman around Dodger Stadium. A couple of people were on
a behind the scenes tour on Saturday when they looked
over close to the dugout and a coyote was in
(03:47):
the stands. They're everywhere. I like to see them, you know.
It was the weirdest thing. I had a convertible for
a little while because I was trying to do that
la thing. I basically I moved here and I thought,
how can I become an eighties super villain? So I
bought an old BMW convertible because I thought that's a
good way to sort of fulfill this messed up fantasy
(04:11):
in my head. So I'm driving down Los Field's Boulevard.
It's a couple of years ago, and I look over
to the left and I see and this is right
before the five freeway, and I think it's Riverside that
goes up through the park. And I'm right at the intersection,
and I got the convertible top down because it's a
beautiful day and I'm living out this twisted fantasy that
I had of myself being an evil eighties supervillain. And
(04:35):
I looked over and there's a family of coyotes. It
was a hot day. They were just hanging out, probably
four cubs with mom, and I mean there were like
ten fifteen feet away, just chilling at the base the afternoon,
chilling at the base of this hill. And I looked
at the mom, I looked at the kids. They looked
at me, just a little direct eye contact. I realized
(04:56):
that was very vulnerable little head nod they she had
nodded back to me and it just went went on
my way. But we'll get into more of the coyote
info later on in the show. But I want to
go back to the Golden Globes because I think what
is most interesting to people is just how it's going
to affect us as far as the lane closures go.
(05:17):
Santa Monica Boulevard, anywhere over in Beverly Hills, especially in
that intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard. There's
a couple of hotels there. There's the Beverly Hilton, but
then there's also the oh Man. It's a really fancy
hotel that I would never stay at, couldn't afford it.
They have a rooftop bar, also very expensive. But WoT
your drive Carmelita, Elvado, Lomitas, Trenton. All the alleyways around
(05:41):
there closed on Friday. They'll be closed all the way
until Monday at six am. So avoid it if you can.
But here's a little backstory and what's to come for
the show tonight. Celebrities in the room are just like
on a different level. Julia Robbers, Leo DiCaprio.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's all the people that were like on my wall
as a kid.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yeah, the red carpet is in place, and Niki is
ready for all the Golden Globe vets.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I like Nicki Glazer she hosted last year, and I
think the thing that was so great about what last
year's Nicki Glazer experience was is that it was a
sort of departure from the effusive celebrity backscratching that you'll
see a lot. There was legitimate roasting going on, and
Nicki Glazer has been known as a great roast comedian.
(06:36):
I met her a couple of years ago. I had
her on a show I was doing for a company
called full Screen million years ago and probably like twenty sixteen,
and she also roasted me. I was not expecting that
I was a little more green in my career, and
I was also like, oh man, does she actually not
like me? And maybe she didn't, I don't know, but
she was really funny. She took issue with pronounced it
(07:00):
a rangutan, which is how you say it, but she
was like, it's a rangutang. Everybody says a rangutang.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Roasted me.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
She's also saying she's not focusing on politics as much.
She's a great practice practice comedian where she will go
out and she will do these sets over and over
and over again, try out her material and really dial
it in. And so obviously there's a lot of political
stuff to talk about right now. I think most people
(07:29):
are sick of hearing from celebrities about their political opinions.
I just think it's whatever side of the aisle you're on,
you're like, I get it. Majority of them, we're preaching
to the choir anyway. But I think you tune into
that to not watch a lot of people claim moral
superiority over everybody else, because the other thing is like outside,
(07:52):
outside of even a political thing, to watch a bunch
of people get up on stage and tell you how
to live and tell you how to have a moral
compass when not all of them, but many of them
are fifteen feet away from their age are their assistance
that they absolutely abuse, that they scream at all the time, and.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
How big are their mansions that they live in.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It's gross.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But I think that with with with Nikki at least,
that she's going to focus more on just roasting all
of the people who are there, which I think we
can all agree that's fun. It's punching up, not not
against any of that. I also feel like that, well,
I will say this, I'm there's a lot to think
(08:44):
about as far as like the shows go.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But LA is it's been tough to last year. There's
a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
There's kind of a cloud hanging over Hollywood, a dim
a sort of sadness, and I want it's like within
the context of, oh, we're doing these shows and they're
still in la let's celebrate all these television shows and
movies that were not made here.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's a weird feeling at the very least.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I said, this is enough.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I've known this enough.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
So what to watch for Sunday when the Globes air
live on CBS and Paramount Plus One Battle after Another
will be the film to beat With the most nominations
at nine, they include acting nods for Leo and Chase Infinity.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
What does it mean to be including that the same
category as Cynthia Arrivo, Kate Hudson, and Emma Stone.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I mean, I'm honestly pinching myself. I can't get over
that in my brand, but I feel so so grateful
Cynthia Rivo will not be in attendance as the Globes could.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
This is what I hate about doing the Red Carpets
is because you have to ask these very generic questions
and you know you're just gonna get very generic answers,
and it's it's like there's a level of fluff that
I understand as part of entertainment journalism, which is a
silly I thing to even say, but I just it's like, Okay, yeah,
you're grateful, great, happy, glad you are. Why did we
(10:09):
We didn't doubt that I couldn't. You know what it's
like when you watch a press conference from the NFL
and everyone talks about there's a lot of adversity that
we had to overcome, and the teams showed and I'll
say it wrong because they always say it wrong, resiliency.
The team just showed that they're resilient. They were showing resilience.
They didn't show resiliency. That's not how that works.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Cynthia Revo will not be in attendance as the Globes
conflict with her West End show Dracula. As for Leo,
We're gonna go ahead and manifest a Romeo and Juliet
thirtieth anniversary reunion with Claire Danes, who's nominated for the Beast.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
In Me and he's actually amazing at what he does.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Would you guys like to see that? Eileen?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Are you holding out for Claire Danes Le DiCaprio reunion?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You know, I wasn't a big fan of it to
begin with.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Ye So, you know, I mean she's great, He's I
like her. I think she's amazing, and he is great. Yeah,
he's amazing, just.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Not like it's not on my bingo board to be like,
I've got to see that Rea not.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
On my bingo board.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
And you know, I'm a fan of his and all,
but I don't know, he's just a little obnoxious, you
know in real life where I just kind.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Of have you me Yea, I was going to say,
wait a minute, I.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Mean it seems like it.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I mean, his whole dating thing, who knows, I don't
know him, judge that he's actually a really nice guy
in real ley good strangely like a really nice guy.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
I guess the whole media thing around him just kind
of as a turn off. So I just don't really
pay that much attention to him.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's hard to avoid the idea that this man keeps
getting older and still dating people who are under twenty five.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
Yeah, I see that.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
That just I think that's a little Yeah, that's living
the dream in my will.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, I've got lots to not talk about here still
coming up, including how you can get your hands on
that three point two million dollar tuna.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's what I'm excited about here.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Additionally, why kids everywhere are getting pallettes expanded, and why
if you want to paint a Rembrandt, the first step
to painting a Rembrandt is to not tell people that
you are getting into the new CBS evening news anchors
very bad, not so good.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
First week you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I just moved my head to clear my throat a
little bit, smack my microphone into my headphones. That's how
things are going right now for me. I was so
sick last week. I went up to San Francisco, had
a great time visiting my friends. I'm so blown away.
I've been saying it. I will not stop saying it.
That city is on the rebound in a huge way.
(12:42):
I've go up probably every I got great friends up there,
So I go up a lot, and for probably twenty years,
I've been going there and to see that city go
through boom and bust and boom and bust over and
over and over again. I mean, look, this is not
a new thing. It's been happening since eighteen forty nine
when they discovered gold in them their heels. But the
last cup of years, especially post pandemic boil boy, was
(13:03):
it a bummer to think about how things are in
Hollywood or downtown Los Angeles. You go up there and
it was the same thing, but like times five. Yes,
the human feces, yes, the the fentyfold, the zombie apocalypse,
(13:23):
vibes of the of the Tenderloin. Right, all of this
is very well documented and known. But in just a year,
and I think a lot of it. There's a lot
of reasons for it, but in just a year, that
city has basically been transformed. Yes, there are still issues,
but man, it is so clean. It's so different. There's
(13:46):
a sense of life and excitement and vibe. I had
so much of San Francisco that I got a cold.
I mean, I was up there in the rain, but
I came back of it. You know, and even still
feeling kind of crummy. It was just like, man, this
place is so awesome. New Mayor Daniel Lurry was elected
(14:06):
rather last year, and I think it's done a lot
to clean up the place, prosecute peoplehen they break the law,
try to get people not only into housing but also
drug treatment.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
What a concept. So yes, there's still problems, of course,
but if you.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Add a new sense of accountability from the government, plus
all the money coming in from big tech and AI,
it's a pretty interesting combination. It's pretty compelling, and in
a place that had really started to see people leave
in a major way. Remember during the pandemic when all
the tech, the big tech people were like, well we
could just move to Wyoming, we can just work from
(14:45):
home forever, and so the city kind of emptied out.
But it does feel like things are going better there,
and I highly recommend taking a trip up there and
seeing it if you can. It may be hopeful for
Los Angeles because of the issues that we have here
are of course the same issues that they had up
there and still have up there. But to hear the
(15:06):
elected officials say we see you. You're not crazy for
being upset about this, and We're going to do something
to make it better. There's an energy. That's a cool city.
It's a beautiful fit. Like the nature of it. We've
got great weather down here, don't get me wrong, but
they might have us on the natural beauty of the bay,
the architecture. It's crazy that you can just stand pretty
(15:30):
much anywhere in that city and look around and see
something beautiful.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
It is one of the most beautiful cities in America.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
How romantic it's like, it's so na oh yeah, and
especially oh Man during the rain, I was like, am
I am I Raymond Chandler right now? Am I Philip
Marlowe walking around solving crimes?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I wasn't. I was just going to dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But it is a gorgeous place and if you get
a chance, go check it out for sure. Want to
talk about the news anchor that can't stop talking about himself,
I'm not talking about me. CBS Evening News has a
new anchor, and boy, oh boy, the pomp and circumstance
(16:12):
around Tony D.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Koppel.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
There have been so many big, splashy news stories recently.
The news should never be about the news, but Barry
Wise CBS News, that's everything that's going on right now.
Every single move that they make is under the microscope. Remember,
she was appointed by the new owner of Paramount, which
(16:38):
owned CBS News, Barry Weiss, had run a thing called
The Free Press, which was a sort of libertarian I
don't know if I've seen people describe it as maga curious,
which I don't know if that even is an overstatement,
but was sort of a libertarian publication. She had worked
at The New York Times, was sort of semi canceled,
started doing things on her own on Twitter. I think
she's obviously very unabashedly pro Israel. So she gets implemented
(17:05):
or she gets rather placed as the head of CBS News,
and a lot of people said, WHOA, this is crazy.
She's never run a news organization before. She's had a
little bit of controversy. There was that sixty Minutes episode
that was pulled that was about Trump because she felt
like there wasn't enough reaction from the President. And the
other big story now is that she, as the head
(17:27):
of CBS, has appointed Tony Dakoppel as the new CBS
Evening News anchor, and the amount of publicity going on
around his anointing coincided with a sea change. I think
in the mantra of CBS News. Remember this was the
(17:50):
same network that not long ago said we're going to
change things. Tony comes out and does a whole statement.
He says, for too long, we've listened to experts and
not to you, the American people. For too long, we've
been the elitist coastal media, and now no longer. I've
been frustrated too. How frustrated, I don't know. He's worked
(18:13):
for this company for quite some time. He was the
morning CBS Morning's anchor. Does it feel pandury to me?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
As a news consumer, Do I think that things are
really going to massively change within the.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Manhattan offices of CBS News.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I also feel like it's okay to listen to experts.
You shouldn't just go see what the regular Joe's are
saying all the time. You should, as a journalist, try
to find the truth, what a concept that is. Sometimes
the experts know the truth, sometimes they don't. You're not
(18:54):
supposed to listen to advocates either, And so this week
there have been a series of gaffes I guess you
could say, or at least interesting moments that the media, who,
by the way, traditional media already has it out for
the new CBS News because of where they think they
stand politically now, been very critical of Tony's ascension here
(19:19):
to anchorman, to.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Other news now to Governor Walls.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
No, we're gonna do Mark Kelly first day, first day,
big problems.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Here, Tony dakop Yeah, okay, so that was a flub
on Monday. Sure, he also cried when he talked about Miami.
People don't like that. Ultimately, it feels a little bit
like it's an all about me kind of thing. And
I think if you want to do something really different
and cool, the best way to do it is just
(19:50):
do it. Hyping yourself up only sets you up for failure.
I remember this thing that somebody told me a while ago,
which I love and I think about all the time,
which is that if you want to paint a rem Brand,
you cannot tell people you're going to paint a rem Brand,
and Brand is a famous painter. You just have to
sort of do it. All in all, maybe they've done
(20:14):
something right because the raidings are up by about a
half a million compared to when the former anchors were
there On CBSC be music. I don't know. We'll see
a lot of people just checking in. I'm sure to
see if it was a train wreck or not.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Real excited about the Chargers tonight. Who's going out, mister Boone.
We're gonna go see the Chargers, Eileen, We're gonna go.
We're going going down to are they playing it?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Is it a home game?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Are they playing here?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm gonna go watch it a local Chargers bar. I
won't say the bar in case I don't end up going.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
But those games sure are fun. I went to the
Eagles Chargers game.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, absolutely, that was a That's a great game for.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
The say something that's gonna get a lot of people angry.
But I rooted for the Eagle.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Oh my god, well you lost.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
You lost?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I know it.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It was a crazy game. I got a crazy game,
so many turnovers.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Now do you now? How come Eagles for you?
Speaker 11 (21:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I just I started to like them. I grew up
being a Cowboys fan. That was my team. I'm from Texas.
But I just can't deal.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
You're gonna go down air with the Eagles. Then John,
I tell you what, I got a friend who's a
real Philly girl. She's a photographer at Katailann and Meredith
Gunning and she is one of the funniest people I've
ever met in my life. But she went to that
game there, and she's texting me the whole time saying,
I knew, I knew Han, I knew it wasn't gonna
go all right for me.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Got to get out of here. So she left it
like halftime.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yeah, I don't let it affect me. Yeah, but I
like the Broncos.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah, well that's my team.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Speaking of other things that are sort of eye raising,
eyebrow raising, Uh, I'm gonna do this, I think on
the show and the k Tailing Morning News tomorrow, there's
a trend of people who have been cooking their hot
thoughts on a grill in the packaging, like taking the
packaging and throwing the packaging with the eight dogs in
(22:07):
a package.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Isn't that toxic?
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Wow, they're just doing it and it's all over TikTok,
and people are claiming that this is fine.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
And does it melt the packaging?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, yes, of course. Microplastics are becoming macroplastics.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yum.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Some trends are fun, some are dangerous. Slightly.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
This is just like makes you worry about the future
of the human race.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Just chase that with a tide pod.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Friend, We're out of yeah right, we're out of microplastics
into macroplastics. Because yes, the thought is, according to some
of these MENSA members who are posting videos about this
it's mostly dudes, of course, is that if you cook
the hot dog in the package, it I guess makes
(23:01):
them more juicy. The water doesn't all evaporate and you
have a juicier dog. I've also never been like, man,
this hot dog is dry. Have you ever had a
problem with a dry hot dog?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Maybe if they have like low fat versions.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I mean I grew up eating soy dogs. They're called
them smart dogs, and I was amazed when I finally
had a real hot dog because I was like, wow,
tastes exactly like the fake one. And I think the
reason is because there's so little actual meat in a
hot dog, it's not that hard to fake. But yeah,
that's a Darwin's Finest. People grilling their hot dogs in
(23:41):
the packaging. Please, All right, here's the story that'll make
you happy.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
It is a mystery to Minnie. In one East Tennessee town,
a car backed into a parking spot is the unofficial
welcome to Gallinburg. Tennis reporter Andrew McClung learned the history
and uncovered the mystery of the Gallenberg bmw OK.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
This is just one of those perfect local new news
packages that like, we don't get a lot of these
in LA because this is like you kind of need
to have a small town, not a lot of crime
going on, not a lot of police pursuit to protests,
big sporting events.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
In the Great Smoky Mountains. The city of Gatlinburg is
nestled away like a hole in the wall, a busy
city for hotels like Rocky Waters, motorin and innkeeper Keith Dalkey.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Probably I could say at least three hundred people in
and out of our.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
Hotel weekly because there is so much to do, visit
the world's most unusual golf course, or ride Ripley's mountain
coasters where Daniel Trinidad works. At least eight hundred plus
that's at least like a busy day.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You know, we have a lot in Los Angeles where
we don't have is quaint little roadside attractions like that
the world's most interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Mini golf course? Is that what he said?
Speaker 11 (25:00):
Or ride Ripley's Mountain. Hold on, visit the World's most
Unusual golf course.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Most unusual golf course doesn't say why.
Speaker 11 (25:08):
But there's one attraction you won't find in a pamphlet
or what the hell do you call it? Find in
a pamphlet?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Oh no, you.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Guys, I love a mispronunciation.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I love a miss I heard a frustrated on a
major on a major news organization, frustrated as opposed to
frustrated pamphlet, or oh my god, I love pamphlet that's delicious,
or by the way, I like these because it makes
me remember my own humanity.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I am.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I make a mistake every five seconds, so I'm not
trying to shame this man.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Love his voice, or buy a sign just on Google Maps.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
I've seen it there every single time.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You would be very surprised at how many people actually go.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And just for that.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
An attraction that fits like the city and the mountains.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Maybe three inches over the sidewalk.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Is a twenty thirteen BMW.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
David Parton, I have a three thirty five IBMW.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
He is the owner of the mysterious BMW that sits
right off the Parkway beside the old Partons Deli.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So if you're keeping track, the whole story is that
there is a black BMW Coop late model Tree series
that has just been parked on the side of the
street for a while.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
That's it where David lives and works just above it.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
Yeah, it's a sweet ride. It's it's better than zero
to sixty and five seconds. Yeah. I think it's not
really flashy, like it's not a fancy rich car. It's
just a Colin man's car.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
But his black car is anything but dole to visitors
like Wayne Dean.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
It's Gatlinburg Landmark comos.
Speaker 11 (26:58):
It was something part In himself didn't realize until a
few years back.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Some kid put on there it was the most iconic
attraction on the Parkway in Gatlinburg.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
Posted in a group on Facebook dedicated to the car,
created by Tyler Mount.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
I never really thought much about it, and I guess
they were tripped it, just like, oh, there's the car
still there.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
The car still there.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
I've enjoyed the people. I got a birthday card last
week with I don't know how many names for people.
I don't really know.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
This is amazing, but can you imagine if we had
so little going on here, that not only would we
be able to do news stories about stuff like this,
but that there could be a whole strange ground swell
of bluegrass style support. What's the word I'm looking for?
(27:48):
Not bluegrass?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Grassroots?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Thank you, grassroots support for grossroots for a random car
on the side of the street.
Speaker 11 (27:59):
David's a BMW can go from zero to sixty and
five seconds, but sometimes life can be quicker.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
I'm in complete remission. One particular cancer I have is
not really curable, but it's it's an in remission right now.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
David says, there can be some tough days, but those
days show sometimes the most ordinary moments hold the greatest support.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
I walk out the door and people blow their horn
and wave.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
There you have it, the mysterious BMW of Gatlinburg.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
From Andy Reesemeyer.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I'm accessible as always at Andy KTLA on Instagram, where
you can also leave us a message on the iHeartRadio
app look for the little microphone. A talkback is always welcome.
We will play it on the show. I mean, Nikki,
I don't think there's really been many scenarios where we
have not played a talkback.
Speaker 13 (29:05):
We have to clean them sometimes when there's a little
expletive here in them.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Which generally listen.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
We're all human, you know, we all guess sometimes we explicate,
we're all.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
A little bit CBS news anchor.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
We all cry when thinking about our hometowns that we
weren't able to go to.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
I mean, I would I do? Yeah, fun die.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh yeah, well that's what that's like. Thank you for
bringing it up. I'm sorry, down, I guess that's okay.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
How are they? How's your family doing?
Speaker 7 (29:35):
How are they?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
How are they hanging in now?
Speaker 13 (29:36):
They're fine, They're just a little like it's it's a
little bit of a messy situation down under it at
the moment. Yeah, I bet, yes, fires, racial reckonings, it's
it's great to be in America.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, well, we've never had any of those for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
No fires, no fires, no racial reckoning, no protests, no
no anger that we're vibes.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
We're vibes.
Speaker 13 (30:03):
They're actually looking into a fraud in Australia now among
certain communities, much like what they're doing in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Wow, do they have early luring children care? Child care there?
Speaker 13 (30:15):
It's a little different and it's a little different. It's
not the Somali community that's being under investigation, but it's
a similar thing that's happening there.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's fascinating. Also funded by the Australian government as far
as the.
Speaker 13 (30:30):
Royal Commissions, because you know, we still the main leader
of Australia is not the Prime Minister. It's the Governor
General who reports to the King of England.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Okay, now I'm starting to this is all starting to go. Great.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
What we're royal subjects of the UK. Yeah, yeah, so
we report to.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
The King, got it?
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Do you have a parliament?
Speaker 13 (30:51):
We do. We have like a British parliament style of operation.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's Australia, yes, And there is a prime Minister, but
he doesn't do anything or.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
Does a lot not a lot of good stuff. He's
kind of useless. But the Governor General is above him,
and the Governor General is the representative from England.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
This sounds very complicated.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
We're little convict subjects.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Is it working?
Speaker 6 (31:15):
I guess?
Speaker 13 (31:16):
I guess it's We're known as you know, this is
the land of the free.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Australia is known as the Lucky country.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Oh we're good.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Yeah, we're lucky.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah yeah, fires, racial reckoning aside all.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
The good stuff, that's shootings.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Oh boy, all right, well hard turn from that. Let's
go back to San Francisco.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
We and tonight in San Francisco, aside from the Golden
gate Bridge, there's probably no more famous landmark in the
Bay Area than the painted Ladies, and our Weekend Journal,
CBS's e Tai Hodge shows us how one man has
been fighting to keep the beloved homes picture perfect.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Okay, this is what we over there is in San Francis.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
When an old Victorian is feeling a little pale, Doctor
Color makes.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
A house call. This is prior right here.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
But this physician doesn't prescribe pills. He orders plum teal
and the occasional dash of real gold.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Why twenty four carrid.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Gold, because it's going to last twenty five or thirty years.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
San Francisco is known for its colorful Victorians, and few
people have shaped that signature look more than doctor Color,
otherwise known as Bob Buckder.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
We're talking eighteen thousand jobs just in San Francisco.
Speaker 10 (32:36):
Eighteen thousand, his latest patient, a Victorian from the eighteen seventies,
currently owned by Sue Pierce.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
You want to have the you know, the colors relate
to each other in you know, in that classic way.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
When you know, when you see these beautiful Victorians around town.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
You know, I think the thing is so crazy is
that you'll notice when you go there, it's not like
the homes are green or red. They are gold, maroon, purple,
maybe teal trim, and some white. It's crazy how many
colors that these homes are.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
A Victorian from the eighteen seventies, currently owned.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
By Sue Pearce.
Speaker 10 (33:14):
You want to For years, many of these homes fell
out of fashion and into disrepair, until the nineteen sixties,
when the so called colorist movement started reimagining them in
bright new hues.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Probably got to have a new name for that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Probably weren't thinking of the sixties, calling that that's not
a good idea.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Bucktor quickly became one of the most visible figures in
that revival, even picking out the palette for two of
the city's most iconic Victorians, known as the Painted Ladies.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
What's kind of wild about this, too, is that those
colors are not really the way that they appeared when
they were built, which I think is a big new misnomer.
I mean, I had thought, oh, yeah, it's a Victorian
that they were like, look like a crazy colors. But no,
the homes in the sixties in San Francisco, especially the Victorians,
were considered way outdated, undesirable, as you heard, had fallen
(34:07):
completely in disrepair in a lot of cases. And so
the hippies, because they didn't have any money but lived
in Hayte Ashbury, which wasn't far away, went and bought
all of these homes or at least occupied them, and
then painted them real psychedelic colors as.
Speaker 10 (34:20):
The Painted Ladies. Ben Zotto, an author who literally wrote
the book on Bucktor, says these once overlooked homes are
now some of the most coveted real estate in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
A Painted Lady was on the market not long ago.
It Steiner Street, which is just off of Alamo Square.
That's where the Painted Ladies are, which is kind of
Hayes Valley. If you're familiar with the neighborhood and the
whole stretch that you see in all of the paintings
and the pictures and stuff, like that.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
The opening for.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Full house, five bedroom, two and a half bath, twenty
five hundred square foot home. The zestimate right now is
three point two million dollars, which actually, like, I don't know,
my brain is warped because I've lived in Los Angeles
for fifteen years. That doesn't sound like it's that much
money for that much house.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
That's pretty good for San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
That's pretty good for San Francisco. I wasn't thinking it's
gonna be a lot more than that. But you know,
who knows these estimates are. They're crazy. One of them
is five point two million, supposedly, so I think anything
is possible. Obviously, very cool up there coming up in
the next hour, expanding our horizons by expanding our mouths.
(35:36):
Why is it that the new riddle in for kids
involves a crank in their mouths?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Yikes.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Plus, we're remembering Bob Weir, who died this weekend at
seventy eight years old. Was the co founder of The
Grateful Dead. And as far as protests go, people still
are protesting in Los Angeles today, will tell you where
they are. And a film permit is coming back, or
at least film permitting is changing in Los Angeles in
(36:04):
the attempt to lure more production back here. As we

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.
