Speaker 6 (01:16):
I personally could not do this show without you, so
you can call right in my face.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
These were like, h we could though.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Did you take some medication this morning? Though, like I took.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I took some No, no decongestion this morning. I took
nicol before I went to bed last night, so I
can go take a decongestion. What I just said, I
love nicel. Oh, okay, just speak on this place.

Speaker 7 (01:37):
So I started taking Zeql for a while when I
was trying to like develop an early bedtime, and I
almost like became dependent on it. So I had to
weed myself off of it. But that stuff works, man.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah you have it at Lasi big groggy. Sometimes yes,
you don't take it early enough. Yeah, I took it.
I don't know what time it took it. Maybe seven
is eightish, maybe seven thirty or something like that. So fine,
So I took that. I was telling Jill I took
half until to NyQuil.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I thought you weren't going to say this.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh fair play.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, at least he says it to himself too, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Why you shouldn't see what he took with his niquil?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh, well, now you have to know n that's fine.

Speaker 8 (02:17):
I don't know you shouldn't.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
I asked my dad, who is a doctor. I was like,
can I have a drink if I'm on this, like,
you know, cold medications?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Dance? Fine? So your dad also fixes hips. There has
nothing to do with the cardiovascular system or the heart
or anything like that, you know. I'm sure he went
he went to med school of course. Yeah. So you know,
a glass of wine with dinner and some salmon and
stuff like that, you know. So I was cooking dinner
for the family the first time we cooked in ages.
It seemed like everything's been take out because everything's been

(02:47):
so crazy for so many people. And so I did that,
you know, and.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
You got a good night's sleep.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, I guess just still I felt much better when
I woke up, which is good good, you know. But
now that you're coming here, there's more smoke in this
area too. Maybe that's affecting it too. How so you
smoke at your house? Bride did to get better.

Speaker 8 (03:04):
It moved away from us a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, but it is it's been consistently very has it
really yet there and the.

Speaker 8 (03:10):
Air quality is really really poor?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, I am super lucky that we haven't been hammered
by the air quality out by us. We had some
friends further out in cam Real like come with us
if it gets too bad. But like it's thirty six
right now in a Westlake, which is good. That's fine
air quality. But yesterday it was with some of the

(03:33):
winds and just the way they were blowing, the air
quality was pretty good in a lot of places yesterday
and it was some of the best I've ever seen.
It was just so such an irony of what everybody's
going through them Like it's seventeen in the air quality index,
and the fact that I know these numbers of my
heart makes me such a goof what.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Do we want it to be? Like what's really in
the green?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Seventeen is amazing? Really okay, Yeah, you'll take twenty five
and thirties all day.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
So we want a low number.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
You want a low number in burd Bank when the
fires here that first day was like three forty five,
three fifty four, which is just it's horrific. That's like,
you know, bad, And then in a fire zone. It
gets even worse than that sometimes. So here we are.
It's five forty four Wednesday. I'm sorry, Monday, January thirteenth.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Happy birthday.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Thank you, thank you, very nice, very nice to say.
What a weird way to celebrate your birthday. Everything going
on right? Yeah, so I postponed my celebrations and your gifts.

Speaker 8 (04:30):
Oh yes, we hit them in the other room. Oh
until a later date when it's more appropriate.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Thank you that face.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
There is a gift, a gift, gift, okay, but it
is not coming today.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Let's not hype it up because it's a.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
It's amazing, it's amazing, it's massive.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's massive. Is it a conductor's baton? Is a conductor's baton?

Speaker 9 (04:53):
Man?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now we have to return and get some it is,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
I must say it was John's idea and he really delivered.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's gonna be another case birds.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
No, let's not get let's not guess anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Let's not guess by anymore. By the way, if I
don't get a conductor's baton form my family, I'm out
of here. I've been asking for a conductor's baton for
twenty five years from all of you.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I've never heard about a conductor's you have too.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
We went through this. Listen if you listen to the
show at any point of time and you've heard the
story four three one oh four three, we've gone through
the bit how all I wanted to do is conduct
And we had my wife on the air talking about
it one time. I yeah, thank you, John. Yeah, now
it's familiar.

Speaker 7 (05:31):
I was talking about the baton that you would use
in a marching band. It's not one of those. It's
one of the ones that you use when you're on
a podium to conduct, like.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
A conductor's baton. Yeah. I already have the mace, you know. Anyway,
that's that. How are you five forty six? Let us
know how you're doing. Reach out three one oh four
three three one oh four to three will keep you
up to date on the status all the fires. Another
update coming up. I believe eight o'clock this morning. In
some respects I love to watch duty app and other respects,

I just feel like my life is checking that thing
every fifteen twenty minutes.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Valentine in the morning, Valentine in the Morning, one o
four to three, My FM nineties.

Speaker 10 (06:08):
To now.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
My fam it is Valentine In the morning, five fifty five.
Jill's back in town. She was out. She was in
New York City. She was covering something for Netflix and
ended up getting canceled due to all the fires and stuff.
But she ended up staying in New York. Had a
lovely time avoiding all the fires of Los Angeles. Everything
else watched. She was in New York. But you got
back with Friday.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I got back very early Saturday morning.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Oh, dear d like twe am how awful was that?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
It wasn't bad. I slept on the plane.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
You see anything flying into La.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
No, And I thought we would. And even the pilot
came on and said, we will most likely smell smoke.
There's nothing to be You don't be alarmed, like that's
just due to the fires. We won't smell smoke in
the plane. We didn't. We didn't smell anything. We didn't
see anything. And flying in that that morning, it looked okay, huh.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Interesting maybeus say you approached to how you came into
the airport or something. So then you got home, your
husband's at home, your house was fine.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Riverside's okay, Yes, Riverside is okay. I know that the
winds are supposed to be really bad today, especially in
Riverside and Santa Clarita morning everywhere.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
So yeah, John, have been good and hunting to beach.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Everything's pretty good. It's it's so interesting though.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
Over the weekend we didn't really smell much smoke, although
the winds picking up and sometimes we'd get guests of it.
But even when the skies were clear, we still get ash,
like tons of.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh, yes, so you get a lot of ash.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
It was so interesting, like all three cars, my patio furniture, like.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Oh, we didn't get in ash. Okay.

Speaker 7 (07:42):
Yeah, it was so weird because there weren't any clouds
or smoking the sky, but still was falling.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
It gets it gets up there though, and then it
just flows.

Speaker 9 (07:48):
Right.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Laura, are you okay to come in? Babe? How are
you feeling? Laura just walked through and she comes right
over to me. Dear God, you're a sweetheart. Do you
feel okay?

Speaker 11 (07:57):
I don't have a lot of medication, a lot of
men yes, last week and feeling better.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
How about you?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I'm doing better, Like I felt much better today, you know,
and I just took another decongestion and stuff. I mean,
how much do you And I want to blame John
significantly significantly? Who are the two people sitting next to
him with the Mexican.

Speaker 11 (08:17):
Restaurant Lauren Valentine Lauren Vellan sandwiched in between John.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I wasn't sick, got fired up. I'm not sick.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
I just want to say.

Speaker 11 (08:28):
The first red flag is John orders chicken tenders every
time we go to.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
A Mexican exactly right.

Speaker 8 (08:33):
He's got this.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
What's the And I just think, like you, maybe we
need a question that early on.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
I like he's legitimacy.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
He says, he you attacking chicken tenders right now?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
You watch yourself if you have in a Mexican restaurant.
She's attacking perhaps your intelligence. I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I like what I like and I order what I like.

Speaker 11 (08:55):
It seems suspicious, just saying that there was something had
keyed it in me, something I had heard or seeing whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Because I even said to John, you remember this, if
you can deny your sickness all you want. I just
said that we could get anywhere to be sure, but
just more fun to blame maybe the late night home
from Hawaii. No, yeah, but I was fine. I was
fine for few days and then you're coughing on Monday
and Tuesday. You were coughing prior to the fires. I
get very flemmy. I get very flemy. OKAYR loves that. Listen,

(09:25):
you guys have sure. Let me just say this. Then,
so you're coughing, we're noticing that we're serial noticers. And
then at the Mexican restaurant, when did the fire start?
Was a Tuesday?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
So Tuesday we went to the Mexican restaurant and the
fires hadn't started yet. Unfortunately it was. It was just
it was crazy. So we're at the Mexican restaurant and
John's about to sit down next to me, and I go,
hold on, you're sick, don't sit next to me, and
he goes, ha ha, and he sits down next to me.
I had already keyed in when they're not sick you here. Also,

(09:57):
the guy came in to tell us one time that
you're COVID positive. You know, hey, guys, just COVID buys. Listen.
I didn't want to freak you out. That was COVID
b with.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
There's one person in this room that always knows when
I am sick, and it's Brian as burden, and I
feel like sometimes I will confide in him after the
fact and be like.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh my gosh, dude, I was a little sniffily recently.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Why would you not take a sick day? No? No, No.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
The point I'm trying to make is I wasn't sick
according to you.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, okay, you like to jump in on this place now.

Speaker 8 (10:29):
I would like to avoid this entirely. No team, John,
I'm not team you're picking a.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Team down, But.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Was sick?

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Answer me. Wow.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
Sometimes out it's been figured out.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Laura and I have got our mark. It's been figured
out five point fifty nine. It's one of four three
my it is Valentine in the morning. And people say, well,
you sound kind a stick right now. I know, I know,
but I had to come in.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Maybe today I could have got away with it, but
last week I had no choice, whether a sick or not.
There's just all hands on deck. There's a bunch of shifts.
I almost covered over KFI. So, I mean, everybody's helping
out all around, and every business I'm sure is impacted
by this. Everybody knows somebody impacted by this. I did
tell Jill I found it kind of strange, you know,
the irony of life and everything that I saw all

(11:26):
these posts from several people going, hey, thank you everybody
who checked in. I'm doing okay. Thanks all my friends,
from people all of a sudden California posting to their
folks all across the country stuff. And I was like,
I don't know, not that many people checked in. I
didn't have that many people check in on me. Yeah, well,

(11:47):
I mean my sister's checked in and stuff, because mom's
out here the one to make sure she's okay. There's
an evacuation plan for my mom as well, so there's that.
But otherwise, you know, Mark Hilberger checked in, my friend
Nasa there, and not too many other people.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, that's Mark's stand up guy. We love Mark.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, good guy. The rest of them not checking in,
not really checking in rude. That is rude. I heard
from everyone I've ever met.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Stop it, seriously, people I went to high school, people
I have my distant distant cousins.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
It was really it was very hard. Well, I guess
Nate checked in from New York. There's so I'm at two.
I'm at two legit check ins outside of immediate family.
Immediate family I don't think counts right.

Speaker 8 (12:28):
Fair enough?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
So I'm at two legit check ins? Am I a
bad person? Do people not like me?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
No? No, you are definitely not a bad person.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Two check ins. No one else.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
That doesn't say thing about you. It says something about
the people.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
It says they have no friends.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
You have selfish friends?

Speaker 12 (12:46):
No?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
No, I don't eve think I have selfish friends. Huh huh.
How many checkings you get? You a lot?

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Even my selfish friends checked in? Oh wow, okay, Laura,
what about you?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
How many check ins for you?

Speaker 11 (12:57):
So many people and from Australia, like it's making worldwide
coverage obviously, but it's just my parents. It's non stop
in Australia, the news.

Speaker 3 (13:06):

the fraternity that all gathered in this house.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Honestly, like thought I was going to miss it.

More like I remember packing up my room and looking
around being like, I want to take in this moment
because I'm sure i'll miss it.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I haven't missed it once. Like my place just smells
good all the time now, dudes, Yes, And like now

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Right, She's the reason for the season, right, exactly and
how she doing to the living arrangements, any problems or anything.

Speaker 7 (16:48):
No, I mean I feel like moving in was the
hardest part. I think we were surrounded by boxes all
the time. There's always so much to do, so I
feel like that's when we were a little bit more
frustrated and we were like, so when does like the
fun part?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Sure, it's just so.

Speaker 7 (17:00):
Much to do all the time. And then we've been
kind of talking over this last week. When we finally
went back to work in January. Last week, it was
the first time we actually felt like we were living together.
You know, we're like in the routine now, we're like
meal prepping together, and like it's the first time we've
actually gotten to experience what it is sitting.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Down for a dinner at night or is it a
meal prep situation? Different times we sit down for dinner.
We try to every night. Do you watch TV or talk?
It's a mix of the two. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
I feel like some days we'll watch TV if we've
had a lot of time together, and I feel like
if we have catching up to do, we'll sit at
the table and just kind of catch up with each
other's day.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Do you guys have a show that you watch together.

Speaker 7 (17:34):
Right now, we're catching up on Severns two comes out
this week and so she hadn't seen the first one.

what's back. You know it's back on TV. What's back?
Oh my god? The Way Home?

Speaker 8 (17:48):

(18:33):
all said, all right, six fifteen, this is one of
four three My famine is a Valenti in the morning
and an update on the fires and some more information
that probably would be very helpful to you coming up
right after this break here I did mention calhope dot
org earlier cal Hope dot org dot org. I heard
about this in KFI. I didn't know about it, so
I wanted to get it to you as soon as
I heard it. Where if you need any you know,

(18:55):
mental help, or if you need any therapy or anything,
or just somebody to talk to. This is a free
service and very much anonymous, and it's put out by
the state. So just look into it because you might
need someone to talk to. We might all need somebody
to talk to. That's Calhope dot org. Cal Hope dot.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
From Sedan's and SUVs to full sized trucks experience the
incredible power and fuel efficiency with Toyota electrifive racings.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
You need to know right now, six twenty one, it
is Valentine in the morning. This is one of four
to three MIFM. Firefighters have made progress and they're fighting
us the wildfires burning across LA. As of the last
CalFire update, Palsads fire has burned twenty three thousand, seven
hundred acres, thirteen percent contained. The Eating fire in the
San Gabriel Valley, burning fourteen thousand acres twenty seven percent contained.

(19:44):
More firefighters have arrived from out of state and from
around the world. Those digtional resources have allowed crews to
prepare for the return of stronger winds from now to Wednesday,
warm temps slow committing strong winds will mean an increased
risk of fire danger. I don't know if you're like
me or not, but I had to run out to
the grocery store last night. I find myself watching the hillsides.
I find myself watching people, and we don't know what's arson,

(20:08):
what's not at this point, but I find myself just watching.
And I was driving down one boulevard yesterday was it
was darker ready, and some gentlemen pulled off his car
to the side of the road into an area where
you'd go down the trailheads, but it was dark, the
park was closed, and I'm like, what's this guy doing.
I'm just I'm so suspicious and so on guard. Most

(20:29):
LAUSD schools will be reopening today. Pasaity Unified and the
Locking Out Unified remain closed, as will schools in the
Malibu area as well. In a statement released over the weekend,
the district said they considered a number of factors, including
improved fire containment, air quality and win conditions, and terms
that it was safe for most students to return to school.
Every school is going to be making a judgment call
based on the air quality as well. John, what is trending?

Speaker 7 (20:50):
So some TikTokers in LA have been sharing their evacuation
halls online. It's basically evacuees. They're opening up their go
bags and their suitcases and they're showing the items they
took with them amid the LA wild fire disasters. But
they're commenting on the fact that sometimes you know, you
only have minutes to evacuate, so they're just grabbing what
seems super important to them in the moment, so they're
unbagging it and it's like erastour merch and some old
vinyls and maybe their mom's yearbook from the eighties. And

(21:12):
the trend is the random things that you find important
in the moment when you only have minutes.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
To decide what's important.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
Kind of think it's a fun trend that you can
make out of the situation sometimes, But I'm John Coomuci.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
That's just training on socialskase six twenty three. It is
Valence head in the morning. This is one of four

fem It's Valance het in the morning. If you need
an avenue to help out, so many of us are
at a loss of what we can do. This is
the best bet that we have here at IET. But
this is not the only one. There are so many

just there over the weekend. There's two lines, right, people
that drop stuff off and people that need stuff. That's right.

Speaker 7 (22:54):
So it's kind of cool that you get to see
the things that you're donating get to families immediately.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
As soon as you roll up, you see them loading
up the cars.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
I went on Friday and I was checked at how
much they had it figured out already. There were so
many people there, and then Nighthearts they were playing music,
there were people doing interviews, so many people helping it.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I was fired up. I was like, people rocks crape.
So if you want more info, if you didn't get
the address, or you want to double check on some
stuff that they do need. We're talking socks and underwear,
paper towels, air purifiers of course, to go boxes, cops,
large trash bags, work cloves. One way of looking at this,
think about when you move into a brand new house,
what do you need. You'll need cleaning supplies, or they

(23:32):
need paper, towels, trash bags, all different whatever things. Let's
say you've moved into a house, didn't have anything else
with you. What would you have to go buy? You'll
need that because a lot of people will be staying
in hotels, at Airbnb's, at friend's houses, just all over.
Try to support these people who lost their homes. You
can find out everything you need to know on what

(23:52):
I said just by going to one of four to
three mile from dot com slash donate six point thirty four.

neighbor because I was just driving down the road. I
don't know who they are, you know, I don't know,
and I don't know what they're going through personally. But

(24:33):
it's not the time to sit by your fire pit
in the backyard, you know what I mean. And it
might have been a gas fire, I don't know, but
it still it gives people angs when you see any
light like that on a hillside. And driving back from
the grocery store last night, I was like, not the
time to do that, you know, just not the time.

They were they were not playing, not good, and people
were tell me, like, this is being a Chargers fan, like,
get real.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Fah right, right, you need to feel you you like
grew up a Red Sox fan randomly, Yeah, and so
you're used to pain and suffering, aren't you? Very much?

Speaker 7 (26:10):
So yeah, but still they've been relatively good over the
last fifteen twenty years.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
You know what I mean, you've got four World Series.
Oh yeah, yeah, you're younger, so yeah, I grew up
with pain and suffering. I'm sorry. More pain and suffering
for you. Lots of pain and suffering for me. Lots
of pain and suffering in that respect. So Rams, So

thirty seventy. It is one of four to three MYFM.
Oh and the Pittsburgh Steelers lost too, right.

Speaker 8 (26:37):
That's not what this segment is about.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
No, you're still like a NFL update or something like that.
I know you're a Steelers fan. It broke my head again. Wow,
Well what about the Patriots? Yeah, we didn't lose this weekend.

(26:59):
in the Morning. I know it's about idea one four
three my famit this is Valentine in the Morning. Good morning.
It is Monday, January thirteenth. Hope you guys are safe.
I won't say I hope you do okay. For many
of us, the okay is not today right. You're getting by,

(27:19):
You're doing all right. But the main thing I'd like
to ask people is are you safe? Is your family
safe in that respect? How you're doing with that? If
you do want to reach out for any mental health situations,
or if you just need someone to talk to, Calhope
dot org. Calhope dot org is a great website and
resource that I found, and it's free, and it's anonymous
and all that, and they've got some uh great people

(27:41):
manning phone lines and stuff to help you if you
want to talk to somebody, and always feel free to
reach out to us too. Three one o four three
three one oh four three. Mental health is gonna be
a big thing with us. I think we're all. You know,
there's a couple different sides. I haven't lost my home.
I haven't been evacuated out of my house, you know,
like many people, I'm at the edge of an evacuation
zone or something. But so that hasn't happened to me.
I haven't lost my home. I don't know what that

(28:02):
feels like, and I pray that my family never has
to feel that. But I know that some of you
have felt that, or you know somebody. Of course, we
all know people at Colin School. Thirty plus families lost
their homes. Thirty plus families at his high school because
as we're just on the outside in Westlake, a lot
of kids in the Palace since would go to Colin School.
So thirty plus families lost their homes. It's just unfathomable, right,

(28:24):
So I don't know that pain, but we all know somebody.
And that being said, I think we're all in a
state of, you know, emergency at times. We're in that
state of readiness, that angst, that anxiety NonStop for the
past week of wondering, are the flames coming my way,
the smoke coming my way? Am I evacuating? What do
I grab? Where are my kids? Where's my wife? In

(28:45):
relation to where I am? If somebody's working, I got
to get the pets. You know, all these things come
into play and It's an anxious state that most of
us find ourselves in and it probably will remain so
until these fires get out, and then of course rebuilding
process and everything else too. How's your your family, your sisters,
stuff there in the valley.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, everybody is okay. On Saturday, you know, my sisters
and my sister Britain, and my parents, it was getting
dangerously close, so you know, we were constantly checking the
app checking in on each other.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
But luckily there are those palisades. That was no palace
is the one that suddenly started coming towards Encino, right.
It was about Kenneth fire.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yes, the Kenneth fire. Yes. But I think a lot
of people the shock of all of this will come
a little bit later on. And I feel like right
now everybody is, you know, just trying to do what
they can.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
By waves of shocked.

Speaker 12 (29:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, I'm pretty shocked, right, And there's more waves of
it coming, and I think.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Later on it'll come, so we need to make sure
that we are there for our neighbors later. Of course,
you know, as all this is happening.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Bright you're back in the house. You gets left for
the weekend because of all the smoke, right, We went down.

Speaker 8 (29:48):
To San Diego yesterday Saturday night and int.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yes, Sill said, you could have gone to the house
in Riverside. That was like in a safe zone. There
was no smoke there. Huh.

Speaker 8 (29:57):
I don't know why we didn't even.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Consider that, right, because they have a nice house out there.

Speaker 13 (30:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:03):
I guess her husband know you just got back from
New York and it is it's time to make that baby.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Oh you know, so you didn't want to interrupt their
baby making. Its an evacuation site right now. That well,
he's got three kids, he knows how that works. Obviously.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Let me just say thank you. There's no point in
asking me if I'm pregnant this month. We'll just leave
it at that. I'm not pregnant. You started with me
in February. We can stop the daily questioning.

Speaker 8 (30:37):
To understand how okay we're going to get a daily update.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, I'm telling you there's no need to have a
daily update.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
It would be a wasted update.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
That's not pregnant.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, I know, but that your cycle is only gonna
last what a week? Right or so? Ten days? I
love that he knows so much about this. Am I wrong?

Speaker 8 (30:57):
Days?

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yours is how long. What's the average cycle?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I don't know the average I would say maybe five
or six.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Maybe, how is it like so many for my wife?

Speaker 9 (31:10):
Then?

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (31:14):
But so anyway, after that, then educate us as men.
Are you able to get pregnant after your cycle? How's
that working?

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Well, it depends on It'll be usually like two weeks after.
There's like a there's a window when you can get pregnant, right,
that's the prime And I'm trying to figure out exactly
when that is.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
You're tracking.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I'm tracking. It gives me a window. So do you
want me to tell you when like the window is or.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, what's the window?

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Feels incredibly private. I don't know when my window continues.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
To share, I.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Say it and it up here to private.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Let me tell you the window that I'll be engaged in,
you know, like.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Jill, Oh, it's not telling me yet.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Update. Yes, yeah, and so you put in your cycles,
have you track in the app and everything like that,
so we'll not do the temp thing though it was
a big thing back in the day. You know, Yeah,
I don't know, huh, okay.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
But yeah, as of right now, no need to check
back check back with me in uh, February.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Okay, okay, right, gotcha? Thank you for that? Is your
husband of access to this app as well?

Speaker 3 (32:21):
No, it's just me.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
They should have a shared access there. I'm sure you can,
so he just knows the window as well.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Tell him days before.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
You're telling everybody. I mean, I think everybody knows. We're
supposed to be providing fire updates and apparently now we're
providing fertility updates.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
And my husband, Jeff is the most private guy out there,
and so I'm sure he loves me talking about all.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I'm sure he's going to get to work like you
shut down to February.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
He's not shut down February.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's not shut So you can give those updates, got it? Okay, Well,
but there's no chance of you're getting pregnant. Why not practice.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
We're going to be doing things in January, but.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
You can't with me.

Speaker 8 (33:02):
We want to hear about.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
This will go down as one of my weirdest birthdays ever.
You know, six forty nine. A lot of la USC
is back in session today. I believe my son is
going back as well. Some of the things will be
like day to day. They want to get the kids
back in school, but Obviously the smoke changes or hits
an area too much, then you can't. But a lot

(33:27):
of people will try and start to get back to
work in certain places today. Know, iHeart still has people
out today as well. I think they're coming back into
the office tomorrow. Do we still have all those prizes
for the Battle of Sexes? We do. We can. We
can do that if you guys, if you feel like
you want to play the Battle of Sexes, we can
do that, just for a short rest bit and giggle

(33:48):
eight sixty six five four four my FM one O
four to three MYFM. Here's what's coming up in entertainment headlines.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
A lot of celebrities are stepping up and beyoncey just
made a massive donation to support those affected by the fires.
I'll tell you what she did.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
But after traffic one O four to three my FM
entertainment headlines yesterday, Beyonce's foundation announced a two point five
million dollar contribution to the LA Fire Relief Fund.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
They said, Los Angeles, we stand with you. Be Good
is taking action by announcing the LA Fire Relief Fund
with the donation of two point five million dollars. The
fun is earmarked aid families in the Altadena Pasadena area
who lost their homes and to churches and community centers
to address the immediate needs of those affected by the
wildfires and over the holidays. Will Ferrell was at at

(34:37):
La King's hockey game and he was dressed as Buddy
the Elf and he looked very unhappy as he sat there,
just unshaven. He was drinking a beer at the game.
He had a candy cigarette hanging from his mouth and
people were wondering why did he do this? Was he
promoting something like what was this all about? Well? Will
Ferrell was on the Kelsey Brothers New Heights podcast and

(34:58):
he's just said, O, I just like to do weird
things and just like to stir it up. So that
was the only reason why he did that at the
Kings game. I'm Jill for there and Tiven headlines.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Okay, six fifty two, it is Valentine in the morning.
This is one of four to three MIFM. If you
would like to thank our first responders, thank our firefighters,
and everybody who's putting themselves right there in it, from
you know, the Red Cross, to the National Guard, to
first responders, to firefighters, to these folks that come in
in these helos and these helicopters and just lay that
stuff down. I thought a good way to do that too,

(35:31):
like to get your voice out there, would be using
the free iHeart Radio app that we have. So if
you have the iHeart Radio app, when you're listening to
one of four to three MIFM and the iHeart Radio app,
there's a little microphone icon and you can press that
and leave a thirty second voice note that comes directly
to our studio. We could play that on the air.
That might be something your kids could do to think
a firefighter. We took over food this weekend to our

(35:54):
local fire station, and I didn't even know if anybody
would be there. They were, and apparently they liked Chick
fil a right, So you know, it's one quick way
to thank a firefighter first responder by just leaving a
voice note. It's like thirty seconds lengthleyse as been as
you want, honestly, just use the iHeart Radio app. When
you're listening to one of four to three MIFM and

(36:14):
the iHeart Radio app, you'll see an icon for a microphone.
Click that leave us a voice note, and I think
we'd like to play that back on the air. You
could do that or have your kids do that. I
think that would be really sweet.

Speaker 14 (36:32):
One of our first responders, including my brother Lewis, who
works for the City of Pasadena, he has been working
NonStop helping all the victims.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
We love you.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
That's how you do it. If you want to send
a shout out to our first responders, to all the
people involved in trying to help out our communities, you
can do that using the free iHeartRadio app when you
listen to one of four to three MIFM and the
iHeart Radio app when you stream us there, there's a
little microphone. You click at the microphone send us to
a thirty second voice note.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
It's just like you sending one to your friends, you know,
instead of a text. Let us know who you want
to shout out to, who you want to thank, and
we'll hopefully play it on the air.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Say your name, where you're from, shout out to who
you want, Send as many as you want. Have the
kids do it too if they'd like to thank a firefighter,
first responder. There's so many people that are helping out
right now. We're looking for the helpers and we're seeing
the helpers. So free iHeartRadio app. Listen to MYFM and
the iHeart Radio app. See that little microphone icon, click it,

(37:26):
send us a voice.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Not los Angelean.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Seventy ten. It is one of four to three MIFM.
It's Valentine the morning. Now we get flooded by little
voice stones. Thank you for doing that. If you want
to reach out, have your kids do it too, the
free iHeartRadio app. When you listen to MYFM on the
iHeart Radio app, and we ask you listening to the
cars as well. When you listen on the new improved
iHeart Radio app, there's a little microphone icon that you
can click on and leave a thirty second voice. No,

(37:54):
we'll play throughout the day. Send your message in for
the firefighters and first responders. Do we know if Wrap's
gonna be activated? I know he was off.

Speaker 8 (38:01):
Yeah, I was wondering.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
He's part of the National Guard and he was on
training already, I believe this past week, and he works
with helicopters and stuff like that, So I wonder if
he's gonna be activated himself. All right, we're gonna do
the Battle of the Sexes. As a little rest bit,
a little aside. Here, have a little bit of fun
with us for just a few minutes if you want
play along in your car, if you are getting up
and getting ready for school. A lot of LAOSD schools

(38:23):
are back in session today. My son is back in
session today. So a lot of schools are going back.
Obviously some more aren't. But here we go. It is
the battle of the sexes reps in the metas. Name
is Richard. He lives Marietta. He works as an electrician.
Enjoys trying new foods. Good morning, Richard, Good morning.

Speaker 9 (38:42):
How are you doing?

Speaker 2 (38:42):
My man? He doing safe? You okay?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Yeah, I'm doing good, all right, good, doing good and
representing the ladies. Her name is Doreen. She's from Whittier,
Derek's has a clinical laptech and enjoys go to the
beach with her family. What's here for Dorene?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Good morning, Doreen.

Speaker 15 (38:57):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
How are you doing.

Speaker 15 (39:01):
I'm good? Good, thank you? Just getting the kids to school?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Got you? Okay? Poor John started clapping. Nobody else is
clapping a round of applause. Is still okay? This is honestly,
this is live radio. So not just how to feel right,
I mean, should we've been playing a game, playing a game.
It's a weird thing.

Speaker 9 (39:24):
I know exactly well it is.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
But I also want you well yeah, and I also
want people with kids in a car that need a
little bit of normalcy to have that escape, even just
for a few minutes. We'll keep you updated everything you
need to be updated on, but I think it's important
for kids to have some normalcy when we've all been
such a heightened and still are in this heightened state
of anxiety. So here's how it works, Soreen. I'm gonna
ask you a few questions, Richard. Jill's gonna be asking

(39:48):
you the questions. Best of the three winds still tidy
into regulation. We go to a that's a tough tie.
Break your question. Let me start with the ladies in
the SpongeBob cartoon. What kind of animal is Sandy cheeks A?
Oh no, squirrel?

Speaker 3 (40:01):
Squirrel?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Oh? Yes, you correct yourself that job, Richard.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
What fruit does SpongeBob live in?

Speaker 9 (40:13):
Pineapple?

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Right, got it. I almost want to do a topic
one day. Who's the squirrel? Who's the chipmunk in your life?
Who's the one that shoves the food in the side
of their mouth and keeps on eating? My mom? God,
lover at the memory care center down the street for me,
and the evacuation plans are if you know in order there,
if something happens, we know how to get her out
and everything like that. My mom loves to shove food

(40:38):
in the corner of her cheeks and just keep putting
more food in. I'm like, Mom, what are you doing?
Chew the food this in your mouth?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
It might be a taste thing, because when I'm eating
a burger and fries, I will put a fry in
my mouth and stick it to the side, Okay, then
take a bite to burger to then bring in the

Thank you buddy, appreciate that boy you got that wipe

That was a close call. Coming up. Three things they
need to know. We'll update you in the progress firefighters
have made over the weekend, and tell you what the
weather is going to be like. This week and what
we need to do to protect ourselves. That's coming up.

(42:51):
Three things they need to know.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
From sedan's and SUV's to full size trucks experience the
incredible power and fuel efficiency with Toyota Electricized.

Speaker 12 (43:00):
Three things you need.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
To know right now. One it is Valentine in the morning.
This is one of four to three MYFM. Oh, I'm
just got a happy birthday for my wife. Oh no, oh,
that's cute, happy birthday. We love you. Oh that's sweet.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
So seven twenty, well, she's probably just that weeking up.
It's probably the first text.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
That's what I'm saying. That's the nice world she lives in.
Seven twenty nice world. Thousands of firefighters have been working
through the weekend. They prepare for another powerful wind event
throughout most of the week. Poor air quality, low humidity,
and strong winds will be a consistent factor for all
of US utility companies still working to restore power to
tens of thousands of people, and of course many homes
that their power shut off. Many homes may have their

(43:42):
power shut off as a safety precaution as well, so
cal Edison says that can happen again this week. I
got the alert last night. Many of us have that
our power could be going off again. The strongest winds
are expected to come tomorrow, and a red flag morning
will be an effect from today through Wednesday night. Most
LAUSD schools will be open today, as will many other
school districts across from the California. During press conference yesterday,

(44:05):
LAUSC officials said that the air quantity inspections have been
completed and HVAC filter replacements have been done for more
than one thousand schools. Mass will be available for LAUSD
students and employees at all open schools. Outdoor activities will
be limited due to poor air quality. A lot depends
on where you are, obviously, John Kmuchi, what's treinding.

Speaker 7 (44:25):
So there's a viral moment going on right now from
an In and Out burger and In Andet was offering
some complimentary meals for some fire cruise fighting the fires
over this last week, and in this one video in particular,
this team of firemen walk into the In and Out
to order some food. In the entire restaurant just erupts
and cheering and clapping, and.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
It was kind of just a really cool moment to
see if you want to see it.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
For yourself.

Speaker 7 (44:44):
We'll link that video up on our Instagram in the
stories at Valentine in the Morning.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I'm John Komuci. That's what's trending on socials. I want
to be a billionaire, so freaking bad.

Speaker 10 (44:55):
I want to be a billionaire.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Shove kim be.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
All right.

Speaker 16 (45:03):
This is for Clayton Roadhouse with La County Fire. He's
out there on the fire lines, cutting the fire line
with his bulldozer. I want to say stay safe for
everybody in La County Fire and l A f E.
La City Fire. We're all pulling for you. This is
his girl, ex girlfriend, Michelle Clayton, and I hope you're
doing well. Stay safe.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
One of four three my family and it's Valanced in
the morning. Lovely messages coming in via the iHeartRadio app.
If you want to shout out to our first responders,
to everybody who's putting themself out there to help somebody else.
And we've all seen the post look for the helpers,
and the helpers are out there Southern California. It's a
fantastic place where a lot of people really are helping
each other. There was a moment of comedy within that

(45:58):
last message when the young lady said this is his
girlfriend ex girlfriend, Like, oh, I wonder if she still
misses him. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
She's probably thinking of them.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Of course, that's the sweet part, right, she's thinking of him, right, yeah, right,
that's nice.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
But you know, little slip up first saying it was
his girl and.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Then maybe yeah it can be a recent breakup. Yeah,
oh god, Jill. Now we're going down that road. But
if you want to leave a message, or if your
kids want to, we love the sound of kids too.
Write if you're a child, or you want to leave
a message to thank our first responders, what a simple
way to do it. It's just your voice and I

(46:36):
played on the air and we'd love you to do
that with the iHeartRadio app. When you're listening Total four
to three MYFM, there's a little icon there microphone. You
click on that you can leave us a thirty second
voice message. You have to be listening to MYFM on
the app and then you'll see that microphone icon. Click
that and you leave a little voice message comes right
here into the studio. Well. Have updates, of course on

(46:57):
stuff that isn't necessarily impactful to but important to know.
I R. S extending deadlines for filing purposes for people
in the fire affected areas. Governor knws them doing the same,
and some other stuff too about insurance companies. Stuff you
need to be aware. We'll bring it to you in
a few minutes. Here I one a four to three MIFM.

Speaker 10 (47:14):
Next Valentine in the morning at three one oh four
to three.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Seven thirty four. It is one of four to three MIFM.
This is Valentine in the morning. Weather today attempts mostly
in the sixties, so the California remains in critical fire danger.
Nashal Weather Service issuing a particularly Dangerous situation Red flag warning,
the highest level alert the agency is capable of issuing
for parts of La in Berntern counties, forty five Minurovia
fifty nine in Orange. These winds, though, are gonna be bad,

(47:40):
but they're not as bad as what we had during
the fire. Right, like the most of it from this
past weekend.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
It's not supposed to be as last week rather, right,
you're right.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Dear gud. When did these things start? Now, I'm just
like I'm gonna blur.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Was Tuesday, right, Tuesday was the first one, Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Then all the other started popping up and stuff. It
becomes a bit of a blur for us. So not
as bad as though is, but still problematic.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
What I hear, I think like I saw like the
seventy miles per hour.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Dear God, that's pretty heavy though.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Yeah, right, all.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Right, Jill does have some entertainment headlines coming up.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Saturday Night Live released some of the hosts and musical
guests coming up later this month. I'll tell you who
they are.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Coming up with some fifty I don't know where you
stood politically, but I'm kind of glad that Nathan Hawkman's
the DA. Yeah. It seems very tough on That guy's
looking right into the camera going I'm gonna get you, Like,
I feel like personally he's out there the National Guard
looking for looters and stuff.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
And then there was a guy that was like wearing
a fireman's outfit tried to get into the evacuation areas
and he wasn't. He was trying to loot too, So
please be aware of that. No matter where you are,
we all have to kind of watch out for each
other in that respect. Laura had me giggling for a
second a few minutes ago. She was looking for water
in the hallway.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
What did you call it water?

Speaker 2 (48:52):
She tried to say it like right, because she has
this crazy Australian accent because she's from Australia.

Speaker 11 (48:57):
I've noticed that there's a few words that people, just Americans,
just cannot comprehend. Like when I'm at a restaurant, I say,
can I have a glass of water? They're like, oh,
what would you like to order? And I'm like, no,
no water. So now just like automatically, and I don't
realize I'm doing it, and I've done it to coworkers.
Now I'll be full Australian. I'll be like, oh, like
just before I was out there, like, oh, do you
know if we have any bottles of water?

Speaker 2 (49:19):
I like, it's just like a It's like somebody press
one for English.

Speaker 12 (49:25):
You know.

Speaker 11 (49:28):
And I find myself doing it a lot more now,
just like deciding in the minute I'm going to be American.
And then I've gone too far with the bit and
I get to a pronunciation that I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Pronunciation, yes, like there's some pronunciation.

Speaker 11 (49:40):
Ours are really hard I find to do.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
So then I'll be like, oh, this is bad.

Speaker 11 (49:45):
Then I break the accent and people are like, oh,
my gosh, Like, do.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
You have any other words? So you can giveus an
example that you change water is one of them.

Speaker 11 (49:52):
Obviously, I would just say like a script like if
I go to Starbucks.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Now I'm American, you know what I mean, Like, I'm
not going to.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Try Can you turn on the American accent?

Speaker 9 (50:00):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (50:00):
So if I'm Starbucks right now, you can turn it on. Hi,
Welcome the Starbucks. Can I take your order? Please?

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Hi?

Speaker 16 (50:05):
There?

Speaker 11 (50:06):
Can I please get a iced caramel machiato with two
percent milk?

Speaker 3 (50:11):
And can I get sweet cold foam please?

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Wow, Laura, that's pretty amazing. Now can you give me
that same thing but in Australian if you didn't turn
it on, like, Hi, welcome the Starbucks. Can I take
an order for you? Please?

Speaker 11 (50:24):
Could I please get a iced caramel machiato with cold
foam vanilla please?

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Now I gonna hear the difference you're still American is
to me? Really, yeah, you're becoming full American.

Speaker 11 (50:37):
Yeah, I don't know, it's weird. I don't think that
there's like much of a difference between the accent. But
then I will hear like I'll be editing a video
and we're going back between the three of us, four
of us and me, and I'm like, oh my gosh,
that is such a different sound.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Yeah, when you do put on shoes for Australia, when
you do put on your Australian accent, it is it's crazy.
Then there's certain words too that we're like, we don't
know what a car park is, but now we're all
parking the car park.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
We all use it. Now they have adapted very well.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
You've infected us to.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
What organ is right now, she says, organo.

Speaker 7 (51:17):
And I can't see it now when I see yeah
at the store, I just go Organ's.

Speaker 11 (51:23):
Always when my like we're cooking at harm, I'll be
like to my boyfriend, oh, can you get the capsicum?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
And he's like, what what is capsicum?

Speaker 11 (51:30):
It's like a bell pepper And he said it sounds
like a wizard like capsicum.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
It's a bell pepper.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Do you think this is because Australia was firs of
penal colony? You think that's what the problem is here?

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Know, I don't know, but I just I don't know.

Speaker 11 (51:45):
It's kind of fun. It's fun like living like two lives,
you know what I mean. Like if I'm checking out,
and I know, like they're not gonna. I don't know
who I am. I'm just going with it, just playing,
having a good time.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
You change your name when you have your American accent?
Are you still Laura?

Speaker 8 (51:58):
But I should would be fine.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
She's our social media director. Her name is Laura.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
I would like to.

Speaker 12 (52:12):
Thank all of the first responders. You guys are true
heroes and you're doing amazing job. I would also like
to thank Valentine in the morning for giving a little
bit of normalcy in the midst of all this chaos.

Speaker 9 (52:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Oh my gosh, it was the normalcy. Laura mispronouncing the
word water probably that's what it was. That's her normal scene.
You can leave a message with the free iHeartRadio app,
but it's doon improved by the way too, really cool features.
You can set presets for stations and stuff, presets for
a podcast, whatever you want it. So it's like a
radio dial in that respect, and you can scan and
do different things. But if you listen to one of

(52:45):
four to three MIFM, please do make us the number
one pre set on the iHeart Radio app. And then
whilst you're listening, while you're listening on the phone. You
can send us a voice note here in the studio.
We can play it on the air, thanking the firefighters
and first responders. You can do it by clicking on
that microphone icon and the sending a thirty second more
voice note to us, and we can get that right
here in the studio.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
I know wan Laura to feel bad because we all
mispronounced words and like value museum. I know you have
a hard time saying and jewelry.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
Yeah, but it was that wasn't the thing? Mispronouncing words,
wasn't it. She's from Australian. She can put on the
American accent and get words right. Or is it about
mispronouncing words?

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Oh well, I'm just saying, you know, trying to not
have Laura Belane.

Speaker 8 (53:25):
Anything else on that list.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
He can't pronounce.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Nuclear nuclear well and iron iron? Right, you guys make
funning me the way I say eggs.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
This wasn't the topic. I mean, am I missing something?
Wasn't this supposed to be? Like Laura changes her accent
from Australian to English. I don't like the way you
say acorn. You say I say eggcorn.

Speaker 8 (53:49):
It isn't it acorn?

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Acorn? But you say egg corn? Does he how corn?

Speaker 7 (53:55):
Also absolutely is really funny too. He says it with
a p sometimes he does absolutely.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Absolutely. Guys, what are you talking about? Give you the
words one more time? Will say again, iron iron? What's
wrong with that?

Speaker 6 (54:10):
I think you're missing like a pirate iron museum.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Well, so you're here, you're okay, Australia.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
What else? Aha, jewelry, jewelry, jewelry, jewelry, nuclear agcorn, eggcorn.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
There's egg.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Absolutely, happy birthday, by the way, randomly today happens to
be my birthday. And this is what they come up with.
This is what you're filling time with. This right here,
you can.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Say it, you know, big eggs like I say that, you.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Say what my mom says like that to milk? Yeah,
milk like it's got an e on it, milk, I.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Say milk nutflicks. Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
By the way, this is nothing to do with what
the Laura thing was about. She was we were claiming
that she changes her accent to be more English sounding,
more Americanized versus Australian.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
But water versus warder.

Speaker 2 (55:09):

Be safe, buddy. I know a lot of his classmates,
I think, and I'm not saying something that isn't appropriate here,
but over thirty families at my son's school lost their
homes in the Palisades. We know thirty affected families, so
we all each and every one of us, I'm absolutely

(58:19):
sure in southern California know somebody who's been affected so
gravely by these fires. And there are you know, avenues
of getting help and immediate assistants. We're working with the
Dream Center.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Yeah, you go to one O four three myfm dot
com slash donate to get all the info on that
but their list of needs is changing like every day,
like right now, they're looking for new socks and underwear,
nonperishable food items, paper towels. So if you can help out,
one O four three MIFM dot com slash donates.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
Calhope dot org. I believe it's a website too, calholp
dot org. If you need any mental assistance, mental health assistance,
that's a great revenue revenue resource. Sorry, great rectors as well.
Calhope dot org might call myself. We're all like the
heightened state of anxiety, right, and then you know what
really bugs me? This is not a moment for things

(59:10):
that bug you, right, not a moment for that. But
I'm gonna say anyway, the only one that gets bugged
when you're looking at all your friends across the country
and they're out having dinner, having a fun time and stuff.
I don't know, why did that bug me? It shouldn't.
It should not. That's their life. They're living their life.
We're in dire situations here, and I know they're sitting
positive thoughts and they're maybe even donating behind the scenes.
I don't know, but they're like, oh, here we are

(59:30):
r aut at dinner and like watching it on Instagram.
Le Okay, why is that bug me?

Speaker 3 (59:34):
It's social media for you, is what it is.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Made me think twice when New York has a blizzard
or sure you.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Know okay, and about you posting your stuff.

Speaker 7 (59:40):
Right when the news cycle they're still dealing with it.
But for us, it's been a couple of nights since
we've heard about it, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (59:46):
So you know what's so different about this too? And
credit to a lot of our local media outlets. They
have done a great job. All the local news stations.
I thought I've done a good job, and I believe
all of us local radio stations have done a great
job too, up and down the dial. But we even
like cap you see someone is bringing people in from Houston.
It's a guy like reporting. He reports on hurricanes all
the time in Houston. He's here now on the ground

(01:00:07):
helping out because everyone stretched so thin. And he had
a really great comparison. He goes, I've worked a ton
of natural disasters. I've worked hurricanes all the time, and
agin they are horrible horror events. But nine times out
of ten, the house is still there. It's water damage
has to be rebuilt, but it's there and you can
go back, you can taste something out here. It's all gone,
you know. And then a hurricane because I grew up

(01:00:27):
with hurricanes too. They come and then they go, and
there's rebuilding, but they're gone. We're not gone. We're still
here in it. That's the thing about wildfires that maybe
the rest of the country doesn't know as well as
that you're still in it. It's not out, and it
takes a while for it to be put out, and
they're doing great work, but that's just how it is now.
With that in mind though, and the mental health of

(01:00:47):
southern California, do you want to do the Battle of
Sexes again? Was it okay the last time we did it?
So I would say yes, okay, So up for grabs.

asking me about that. I recommend if you have an iPhone,
you already have this kind of built in. You know,
your default weather thing you click on on your iPhone
that has the same weather thing. Right, you click on
that and you scroll down past the forecast will say
air quality and currently in my neighborhood back home, it's

(01:02:34):
okay thirty six. I'm not sure what it is here
in Burbank. If I scrolled down in Burbank. It is
thirty nine, so it's not bad right now. Remember these though,
were always about an hour outdated, so you have to
keep it in mind because the weather and the winds
can change pretty fast. Right The other apps I recommend,
maybe Laura, maybe you can put this up on at
Valentine the morning as well, is one called air Now.

(01:02:56):
Air Now is with the EPA. It's called air now,
and you can check that there's a smoke map on
there as well to say which way the smoke is
blowing everything that's delayed about an hour as well. And
then there's another one that is called it's with people
iq Air, which they make air purifires and stuff, but
they have sensors they sell people to and they use

(01:03:19):
everybody's sensors. So this might be your neighbor's sensor down
the street that's reading the air quality. That's with iq Air,
and that's called air Visual, so air Visual, air now.
And then of course your default weather app tells you
stuff to so I kind of check all three here
and there to figure out what the air quality is
outside the house. Some people say go out and smell.

(01:03:40):
I smell smoke. It's bad. And there you go that
kind of does it too, but it's important with kids
in school and that particulate matter, which you may have
able to know it's in the air, but that particular
matter gets into our lungs and they're very small, fine
particles and stuff, and so you have to be careful
with that. Lust is open today for most of their district.
I know my sun was headed off to school. I

(01:04:00):
just checked in with him. So please be careful on
the roads out there. A lot of people stressed obviously
getting the school, getting kids where they're going, getting themselves
where they're going. Evacuees on the road, and that's another
thing too. In your community. A lot of people were
displaced right now, and they might be in your community
in neighboring town or city or something like that. Be

(01:04:20):
cognizant and be polite to everybody bump into because we
don't know what they're going through, right, We don't know
the story behind all these book covers, so to speak.
We are going to play the battle of sexes here.
It's always fun to play a little game and have
a little respite from what's going on around us. And
it's dull aleipa here four now. Honestly, Bryan voted not
to play this so he could have the tickets for

(01:04:40):
his family. Well, I love do Alba.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
I think his quote earlier this morning was, do you
guys think she remembers me?

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
We had them all when she came in the studio.
You and do Alipa really.

Speaker 8 (01:04:50):
Had a very special moment.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Honestly, did you really? They did well?

Speaker 6 (01:04:54):
Because you was mentioned how I was nervous and how
I had said to you before she came in that
I was worried that you would not be able to
do this.

Speaker 8 (01:05:02):
Interview because of how beautiful she.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Oh, you were worried I couldn't do the interview because
she was so attractive? Right, how could any human being,
any man? My god?

Speaker 8 (01:05:11):
Like, that's how I expected you to be, right sexual.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
I was impressed.

Speaker 8 (01:05:15):
Yeah, of course you told her that that I said that.
Then she laughed and we embraced and it was did.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
She hug you? I mean it was, you know, just
a little what I don't remember that does that actually happen?
This all happened. I remember probably saying stuff like that,
but I don't remember her holding you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
She was holding him, but they.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
She cuddled you. There was who was the big spoon.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
You need to know right now today twenty three, it
is Valentine in the morning. This is one of four
to three MIFM firefighters have made progress and they're fight
against wildfires burning across Los Angeles. As of the last
updated eight o'clock meeting. The Palace has fires burned twenty
three thousand, seven hundred acres fourteen percent contained, the Eaten
Fire and San Gabriel Valley burning fourteen thousand acres thirty

(01:09:33):
three percent contained. More firefighters have arrived from out of state,
thank goodness, and from around the world too. Those digtional
resources have allowed crews to prepare for the return of
stronger winds. And also our crews on the line need
a break. They need a rest, and we have to
make sure they're getting enough rest too, so they're not
in danger themselves because of lack of sleep or exhaustion.

(01:09:56):
So the stronger winds returning from now until Wednesday, warm
tempts low community. Strong wins means an increase risk of
fire danger. We should all be vigilant and pay attention
to the world around us too. In the NFL, over
the weekend, the Charges traveled to Houston to take on
the Texans in the Wildcar round of the playoffs. Charge
the quarterback Justin Herbert through four picks four interceptions, Texans

(01:10:18):
beat LA through two twelve. It's kind of hard to
win when you throw four picks. Meanwhile, tonight's playoff game
to the rams and the Vikings has been moved from
La to Arizona due to the wildfires. That game we'll
get started at five o'clock tonight, John was trending.

Speaker 7 (01:10:30):
So this fourteen year old from Alta, Dina is going
viral right now. She just started a recovery fund for
teenage victims of the Eaton fire. What she didn't expect
is that it completely blew up. Celebrities have been posting
about this in their Instagram stories, It's been on the news.
This fund alone has twenty two thousand followers on Instagram
in the last week. And this girl, Avery Culvert, was
just trying to help her community in any way that

(01:10:51):
she could. So just such a cool story. We're going
to link that fundraiser as well on our Instagram. In
the stories at Valentine in the Morning, I'm John Comuchi.
That's what's training on socials.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
There's a lot of stuff in our stories at Valentine
in the Morning. If you don't follow us on Instagram,
we'd appreciate that, so you say up to date at
Valentine in the Morning. Like many folks, we're posting important stuff.
Some of those air quality apps I talked about Laura's
posting all the info and he links to things like
watch duty that you don't have yet. She's posting all
that as well. Right there at Valentine in the Morning,

(01:11:19):
this little kid was so cute.

Speaker 13 (01:11:21):
Thank you for your fire, fire for your heart work.
We all love you and I appreciate your heart.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Cute kids always make you smile. If you've got a
cute kid, even if they're not cute, tell them to
sound cute. Use the iHeartRadio app. While you're listening to us.
In the iHeartRadio app one of four three MIFM, there's
a microphn icon. You can send us a voice note
and we can play it on the air. Cute kids,
we need you calling all cute kids, calling all cute

(01:11:58):
sounding kids and well spoken adults. Leave a message now.
If you'd like to leave a message of thanks to
a firefighters and first responders, we'd appreciate that. My fav
it is Valentine in the Morning. It is eight twenty nine.
If you would like to do something right now, if

(01:12:20):
you want to help out right now, how do you
do it? Well. We're working with the Dream Center of
Los Angeles and you can go to one of four
to three mile from dot com sash donate find out
all the information about locations where you do a drop off,
about giving financial aid and that. Honestly, that's one of
the things they need to financial assistance because you know
you've lost your home. I can't fathom that you're evacuated.

(01:12:41):
I can't fathom that, but I cannot fathom losing your
home right just can't put it into words. There is
a dignity to it too, where you want to be
able to walk into a store and buy things you
need for your family, and that'll be something where the
financial assistance can really come into play. But you also
need things right away. You might need new socks and underwear,
paper towels, air purifires, trash bags, gloves, protective coveralls, things

(01:13:07):
like that. Just normal clothes and those things you can
get two at the Dream Center, and you can get
can goods and individually wraps. Next things that you need
immediately you can get at the Dream Center that's located
at twenty three oh one Bellevue Ave, Los Angeles. John
was down to this weekend. They're going to be open
for quite a long time. Obviously, you can drop stuff
off these two lines is drop off at a pickup.

(01:13:28):
So if dropping things off you get in one line,
if you're picking up, you get in the other line. Obviously,
all the information though, like I said, one O four
three MIF dot comp slash donate, and the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Dream Center is also offering aso facilities as a twenty
four to seven shelter for those who have been displaced
by the fires. So one O four three myfm dot
com slash donate for all the details.

Speaker 4 (01:13:46):
Text Valentine in the morning at three one oh four
to three.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
All right, it's eight thirty five. It is valenteted morning.
This is one of four to three MYFM. The weather
today temps in the sixties, so then California does remain
in critical fire danger. So Weather Service has issued a
particularly dangerous situation red flag warning. That's the highest level
alert the agency is capable of issuing for parts of
La in Ventura Counties. I know Jill's net spot. I'm

(01:14:10):
right in that spot. Many of us are right in
that corridor fifty in downtown LA sixty in Anaheim. Jill
does have some entertainment headlines coming up.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
A lot of people have been looking forward to Shrek five. Well,
now the release state has changed. I'll tell you when
it's going to be out coming up at eight fifty.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Shrek five, Yes, I did not realize there were that
many Shreks. I guess when you don't have a kid
that's at young, you lose count of the Shreks, you know,
I do. This is a Shrek one into two. I
missed the three and the four.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
And everybody's coming back with this one. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
They weren't there for three enfourcing uh.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
No, they were, Yeah, but just you know the fifth one.
They're all still coming back. I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Well, it'd be weird if it wasn't, like, hey, I know,
but they.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
Do that though with some franchises, all of Ausden the
voice changes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
Donkey what if it was sudden like aout donkeyy. Shrek
Jill was in New York last week, so you had
to fly for a Netflix thing to cover it, and
then it got canceled because obviously it was Cameron Diaz
and Jamie Fox and they may live out here as
well and be affected by the fires. But a lot
of people behind the scenes that were part of the

(01:15:15):
film and the production team and stuff were affected by
the fires obviously too, so the whole thing got canceled.
You flew back like Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
Night, Yeah, Friday night. So I got in very early
Saturday morning.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
Okay, when did you get your house checked out? For
that hole in your house?

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
Saturday afternoon?

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
You thought there was an animal living in your attic
and put a hole in your ceiling or.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Something round there was one hundred percent. I thought, yeah,
some type of animal in my attic because I always
hear scratching and like running across. So I thought, oh,
maybe a squirrel on the roof. Maybe there's something up there,
like that's been going on for some time. But there
was a hole in my ceiling in my bedroom, this
tiny little hole, and some dry wall and some plaster

(01:15:52):
fell down onto the floor, and then there was a
hole in my ceiling. So I thought, oh my goodness,
whatever is up there has made its way into my
attic and digging away at my attic. So we called
an exterminator, had somebody come out. He verified there is
nothing in my attic. Not there's no sign of anything.
And there's also no point of entry, like there's no

(01:16:15):
way that anybody could come in, like anybody anything could
come into the attic, and he said something to me
about rats or mice, and like how often they go
to the bathroom. He's like, we would have seen something
up here. There's not one dropping in that attic.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
He had heard, yes coming from them.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Yes, it is spick and span up in that attic.
He even stuck the camera up the hole to show
me what was in there, and it was just come out.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
From fifty years old. They did that to me too,
same response span, beautiful scene. I believe she said, yes,
when you turn fifty, they got to take that camera.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
So he said, look, same.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
Camera they used to do, same one.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
He's like, I'd love to charge you three hundred, four
hundred dollars to set up traps up here to chop something.
He's like, there's nothing in this nothing in the attic.
So my ghost is back. That is the only explanation.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
So wait, So a physical manifestation of a being from
the other side is digging a hole in your ceilings.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
So my townhouse was haunted years ago. If you've listened
to Valentine the Morning for any period of time, you
know about my ghost when my grandmother passed.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
Sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
I firmly believe my grandma went to this ghost and
she's like, you're coming with me, and she took him like,
because oh my god, there's like so.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Much to unpack if somebody's new to her show. So
you claimed you had a ghost in your town home.
Then sadly your grandmother passed away, and you believe your
grandmother came to your house and took the evil ghost
with her to the other side, or just whoever read
Oh my god, Okay, he's right, there's nothing in the attic.

(01:17:58):
There's nothing in the attic. I've noted for a long time.
I'm gonna say it. So you think there's a ghost
now upstairs and it made a hole in your ceiling.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
He gave me some possible explanations of what would be
gone on.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
It could be a tree going up across the roof
and making that scratching, that scratching noise. He even showed
me which tree it could be.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
And notice, we've had a lot of wind that seems
very legit.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
But last night it was so loud, the scratching was
so loud.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
Also, win last night I.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Got up and went outside, there was not one breeze
going through my my front yard. There was nothing happening.
Different levels, different levels.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Yeah, you have ground speed air and you have a
little higher and.

Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
Off the tree. The tree is not hitting the roof.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
I'm looking right at the tree right now. It's got
no leaves.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
But it's the scratching last night was so.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
How big is a hole in your roof? Can you
take a picture of it? Today showed us the picture.
Let me see this picture. How do we get rid
of a ghost? I feel like let's at least try.
Let's see if this scratching stops. No, we have to
do it. We don't.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
I've tried saging before.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:19:09):
And another person suggested, maybe I bring a priest over
exorcism from across the street, an exorcism to come over
and bless the house.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Blesscitary Sancretary's cross the street, right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
Yeah, blessed the house.

Speaker 6 (01:19:22):
They don't have better things to do.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
I'm really sure they do.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
H I live just down the street from you. I
get a hole my sailing. I think it might be
a ghost. Can you come blessing? Do you remember the
the Irish priest though that was over there. I don't
know if he sold a lot because I haven't gotten
the sancretary in years. But there's an Irish priest there
and he was the best because you'd see him sometimes
down at the Mexican restaurant just down from this church. Yeah,
sitting there. I think it was just having a marguerite

(01:19:46):
and fads. I'm like, really, so being a priest isn't
that bad. I'll find you the picture, okay, please, I'd
love to see it. So you believe though, that now
a ghost and erratic has made a hole in your ceiling?

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
What else is scratching in the attic?

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
I just said chat GPT on what you should do
to get rid of the ghosts?

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Thank you Judd.

Speaker 7 (01:20:05):
Rational explanations first, then the cleansing rituals, then spiritual practices,
and if none of those work, it says, get professional help.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
So wait, so not chat GPT believes in ghosts.

Speaker 7 (01:20:16):
It says, if you want to get rid of it, there,
these are the ways to do it.

Speaker 17 (01:20:28):
Hi there, just calling in to say thank you so
much to all the firefighters that are working so hard
in the LA area. We know that there are firefighters
coming from everywhere. We're just we are so grateful, true
true heroes, and we are thankful, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
What's amazing. We do have firefighters coming from so many
other stage mutual aid states, also from Canada and Mexico.
Firefighters are coming, so the support's coming from all over,
and that is so amazing to see. We do have
the best firefighters in the world in southern California, probably
in California in general, right because nor Cal's very good too.

(01:21:04):
So we have the best firefighters out there, and they're
so good at their job. But I will tell you
the parade we're gonna throw for these firefighters one day
will be amazing. And there are so many kids right now,
young boys, young girls probably watching this going I think
I want to be a firefighter. I think I want

(01:21:25):
to be one of those people, or be, you know,
an officer, to be LAPD or somebody else. They see
these police officers also responding, this International Guard responding, the
firefighters responding, so many first responders. If I was a
kid right now now, I'm obviously older and my time
to change careers is gone. I used to be a
police officer in Connecticut. Some of you know that, some

(01:21:46):
of you don't, and I change careers and radio took
off for me. I sold the badge. I'm waiting. If
they call me, they call me, I'm ready to go.
I don't fit into the pants, but I still fit
into the shirt. Okay, so I could show up wearing
my Connecticut uniform doing I'm like, well, it's a mutual aid.
You're ready twenty five years late, and here I am.
I'll get Jill's dad, retired D three detective LAPD. You'll

(01:22:08):
get him out there, him and I.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
He'll help out.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
We'll ride together. Oh love that we should ride together.
We could do like patrols or something. We're ready. He
would love that, right, Dave and I are ready. If
you guys need us, let Nathan Hawkmer somebody know that
we're ready. But my god, the dream would be to
be one of those chopper pilots, those guys, those planes.
I cannot watch enough of those videos where they knock

(01:22:31):
down that fire and the Rolling Stones are playing in
the background or whatever music people put to it. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
It's so good. In some of the helicopters, they are
just like all over the place and they land it
right there on the flames. It's just ugh, We're so thankful.

Speaker 7 (01:22:45):
Some of the planes too, they'll scoop up water without
even landing completely.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
It's insane.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
Yeah, it's so good.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
They land it better than any olympian I've ever seen
in gymnastics. The Russian judges are holding up tents. It's
that good what they do. So thank you to all
of you out there. And if you want to leave
a message of thanks, we're taking them on the iHeart
Radio app. If you listen to one of four to
three MIFM, if you stream us in the iHeart Radio
App while you're doing that, and if you're listening right

bit later on send us a message. While you're listening

(01:23:14):
to one of four to three MIFM and the iHeart
Radio App. There's a little icon, a microphone icon. You
click that you can send a voice note directly to
the studio. So you play your thanks on the air.
One O four to three MYFM one O four to
three my FM. Entertainment headlines.

Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
Snoop Dogg has turned his clothing store into a temporary
donation center to aid with the wildfires. It's called Snoop
Dogg's Clothing. It's located on South Prairie Avenue in Inglewood,
and they're accepting donations until tomorrow. They're looking for a
variety of household supplies, comfort items for young children, undergarments,
toilet trees, and first aid supplies, but all items must
be new and in original packaging. So if you're in Englewood,

(01:23:53):
Snoop Dogg's clothing is setting donations until tomorrow. And Shrek
five has pushed its release date to December of twenty
twenty six, so it's about six months later then originally planned.
Mike Myers way Back as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey,
Cameron Diaz as Fiona. Minions three, though, is now going
to be in theaters on July first of twenty twenty six,

(01:24:13):
which is almost a year earlier than originally announced, so
some release dates changed for those films. I'm Jill with
an antivid headlines.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
All right, it is eight point fifty four, It's Valentine
in the morning. This is one of four to three MYFM.
Let us know how you're doing, how you're feeling today.
If you get a chance, I don't want to press you,
but three one oh four to three that's our text line.
Even if you want to unload anything anonymously. It's kind
of like a little mental health check in. Maybe you're
feeling okay today, maybe it's a really hard day. Let

(01:24:43):
us know where you are. Three one oh four three
three one oh four three. That's the text line. It
comes right here into our studio one four three. My fam,
it is Valentine in the morning. Thank you guys for
reaching out on the text line here. I'm the wife
of a deputy sheriff that's been on for nine days

(01:25:05):
straight now. And by the way, the shifts are way
more than just twelve hours. Can we please get the
word out that we know that the residents want to
get back into their homes, especially in Altadina, but they
cannot let people in. Imagine being cussed at for twelve hours.
All first responders are heroes. Yeah, this is incredibly tough,
and everybody obviously happy Monday, all of you guys. I
don't know what to do. I've had a hard time sleeping.

(01:25:26):
I also suffer from multiple scrosses. I thank you very much.
Take care. This one says, I'm not okay. My family
and friends have lost everything. It's an odd thing. They
have to go back to work while so many people
don't even have a roof over their heads. Yeah, You're
absolutely right. Your words are absolutely right. It is very tough,
and I think we all have to be very cognizant
to have the empathy for each other as we go
about our daily lives. Some people have a roof over

(01:25:48):
the head, some people are an evacue some people have
no home at all to go back to, and we'll
have to be supported during this rebuilding process. And there
is and I hope it's days God to hope it says.
It is an amazing spirit right now southern California, where
people are helping each other, are taking care of each other,
much like I guess in my lifetime after nine to eleven,

(01:26:10):
how everybody cared for each other and then that faded
away one day. And I hope this one lasts longer.
Hope we take care of each other much longer, that
doesn't fade away, because this could have happened to any
one of us in Southern California can be touched by wildfires,
any one of us can be impacted, and yet these
fires are not out, and yet we have these high
winds again today and tomorrow and through Wednesday, So we

(01:26:30):
have to be vigilant, We have to be aware and
have empathy for the person who stands next to you
one of four to three. My fam it is Valentine
in the morning. Get this text in here, says he everybody.
I appreciate that you've highlighted the importance of recognizing firefighters,
absolutely valid. They risk their lives every day to come

(01:26:50):
back these fires. However, I believe we should also shine
a light on empts who similarly put their lives on
the line. They play a crucial role in evacuating people
for nursing homes, hospitals, and other locations when necessary. Thank
you for all the work they do for the community.
Truly appreciate it. Yeah, my mom is a memory care
center just down on the street from me, and they
have an evacuation plan in place there as well should
they need it. So of course we'd be remiss if

(01:27:12):
we didn't thank a gazillion different people. So the catch
all that most people do say is first responders because
people are out there putting their lives in line in
so many different ways, and we have a fun little
thing if you want to be part of it. I
think it's good to hear the voices of southern California,
and you might not have a chance right now, Maybe
get a chance later on. Do this. Use the free

(01:27:32):
iHeartRadio app the Neon Improved Diheart Radio app. When you
listen to one of four to three MIFM on there,
just look for one of four to three MIFM play us.
Then there's a microphone icon on the playscreen. You click
that micro icon and you can leave us a thirty
second voice note to say thank you to your favorite
first responder.

Speaker 3 (01:27:49):
You record yourself and you can send as many as
you want. If you have multiple people to thank, keep
sending them in, like we want to play them on
the air. We want to thank people. And it's so
easy to use to just look for that microphone button,
tap it, it'll start recording, and you just send us
your message.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
How you can do it later on with your kids
if you want to have your kids do it or
something too.

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
Yeah, I think it's so much faster than texting too.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
So just hop on there.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
It's a little button you type in and you just
start talking.

Speaker 4 (01:28:11):
Sadia said, Dan's and SUV's to full size trucks experience
the incredible power and fuel efficiency with Toyota Electrified RAE.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
Things you need to know right now Hard nine twenty one,
so we do have another wind event coming. Firefighters working
throughout the weekend to prepare for this powerful wind event.
Throughout most of the week, poor air quality, low humidity,
strong winds will be a consistent factor. Utility companies still
work and restore power to tens of thousands of people,
and of course many homes had power shut off as
a safety precaution, so Cay Edison says that could happen

(01:28:42):
again this week. The strongest winds are expected to come
tomorrow and the red flag warning will be to effect
from today through Wednesday night. Most LAOST schools will be
open today, as will many other school districts across SoCal.
During a press conference yesterday, LAOC officials said the air
quality inspections have been completed and HVAC filter replacements have

(01:29:03):
been done for more than a thousand schools. Mass will
be available for all students and employees at any of
the open schools. Outdoor activities will be limited due to
poor air quality. John, what's trending.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
There's a valeral moment from an in and out burger
going around right now.

Speaker 7 (01:29:16):
In Announ's been offering complimentary meals for fire crews fighting
the fires over the last week, and in this one
video in particular, this team of firemen walking to an
in and out and the entire restaurant just erupts in
cheering and clapping from staff and other customers, and it
was just kind of a cool moment. If you want
to see it for yourself, we'll link it up on
our Instagram. In the stories at Valentine in the Morning.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
Raw, my fam It is Valentine in the Morning. Lisa
Fox coming at ten o'clock. PJ. Holmes is a journalist
and national news reporter who's worked for CNN and ABC News.
Amy Roboch has worked as a reporter for ABC News,
NBC News and Good Morning America. They're both on the
ground out here right now reporting as well. Good morning guys. Hello,

(01:29:57):
hey guys, good morning. How are you doing.

Speaker 15 (01:29:59):
We're doing all right.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
We're doing all right too. We're safe. Our families are safe,
which is one of the main greetings or salutations I
give people. I want to find out if their families
are safe, because so many of us are just so
anxious right now. But I understand that you and TJ.
Are you in the Palisades area? Where are you guys at.

Speaker 15 (01:30:17):
We're actually in Santa Monica, but we just toured the
Palisades area and brent Wood to get an idea of
what so many families, so many people are dealing with.
It's just, yeah, it's the real now.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
We've seen so much in the news obviously, and most
people are not allowed back in. They tried escorting some
people in. That didn't work out very well. So a
lot of people that want to get back into the
fire prone areas that have been burned can't get back in.
So being reporters and able to put those boots in
the ground, paint me a picture if you can, of
what you guys went through this morning.

Speaker 10 (01:30:51):
I would say, well, I was actually it's weird to
say it, but I was confused. I'm confused about how
it's possible that this could happen, not just from a
preparedness standpoint and not just from a response standpoint, but
from just a human just nature. It's weird to see
how fire behaves in the way it behaved. And I
am used to tornadoes. We're both in the South Man,

(01:31:13):
so tornadoes can kind of hop scotch. You say it
hits this house but then misses that house and then
it goes two houses down. This is what this fire
has done to where it jumped around and it seemed
like it was almost discriminating, and so there were no
firefighters allowed that they couldn't get into a lot of areas.
So these places what we went on today, VOW was
a tour and we saw a whole bunch of fireplaces, right,

(01:31:36):
So that's the only thing left standing in a bunch
of these houses. It's just weird to see that much
rubble and things just destroyed the way that they have.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
But there's such crazy irony to a thing that's surviving
a fire is a thing that holds the fire, the fireplace, right,
And this is you mentioned tornadoes and stuff. Of course, hurricanes.
I grew up with hurricanes, and I noticed some reporters
they've flown in from Houston to support local staff at
ABC seven, And so that what I hear him mention.
You know, he's covered a ton of hurricanes, and they're different.

(01:32:03):
They come in, they cause a damage. Sometimes, you know,
the house you cannot live in anymore, scout water damage
from storm surge, et cetera. But you can still go
through things and try and find an old picture or
find this. There's nothing left to find in any of
those homes. And unfortunately, different than hurricanes and tornadoes, we're
not done. That's the part about fires that is so horrific.
We're still facing these red flag warnings. We still have

(01:32:25):
active fires. They're not done hurting us in some respects,
you know.

Speaker 15 (01:32:30):
Yeah, And I think that has been something that stood
out to both of us because, yeah, hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes,
we've covered all of those things that I've never seen
fire damage the way we saw today. And yes, to
be living under that threat of just one ember, a
couple of embers.

Speaker 8 (01:32:48):
Yeah, a small.

Speaker 15 (01:32:49):
Hotspot that maybe no one saw or noticed suddenly can
can take out an entire neighborhood when you've got the
winds that you have and the low humidity that you have.
I mean, that was what interesting to us when we
came in yesterday in Santa Monica. You couldn't even smell
the smoke. We woke up this morning, the moment we
went down to the lobby, you could smell the smoke.
It's just you know, to know that a wind shift

(01:33:10):
can change lives and destroy things by just a shifting wind.
Days later, that's that's remarkable of something that we haven't
seen before.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
When did you guys get in town? When did you
get here?

Speaker 15 (01:33:23):
We got in yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
Okay, did you feel a level of anxiety around Los
Angeles when you got in? And did you conversely to that,
did you see the helpers the people making a difference?

Speaker 15 (01:33:36):
Yes, to answer your question, yes to both of those.
I think you know. Obviously, we've been in La you know,
multiple times a year for the past several decades, covering whatever,
and I've never seen it se so eerie, so quiet,
so desolate. That was very striking. But then yes, you
saw you see the army vehicles, you see the firefighters.

(01:33:56):
As soon as we got here, we started seeing fire
trucks flowing past us. We had our phones going off
with emergency signals that you all have been listening to
for days now. But I think something else that was notable,
Like when you're staying in a hotel where so many
survivors are staying in, or victims of the fire, wherever
you want to put it, to see them be so communal.
They all have their pets with them, They're all asking

(01:34:17):
questions of one another, they're sharing pictures, they're asking it
this person or that person has been allowed up to
speak what may be left of their property and belongings.
And that was just really striking to see that. You know,
that's not something you normally see in LA.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
Yeah, there is a bit of a lot of it
actually of how can we help each other? And I'm
sure that you guys, having been in New York probably
for nine to eleven, going through something like that so horrible,
and the amount of communal spirit where people are trying
to help each other, I believe that as alive and
well in Los Angeles right now.

Speaker 10 (01:34:52):
You know it's too bad at well, you know it,
but it's too bad that it takes something like this sometimes,
certainly given I mean, I don't want this is not
a political thing. It's become political unfortunately, but it's unfortunate
that this sometimes is the only thing, absolute tragedy that
brings us together and makes us be kind to our neighbor.
That's from the moment we got here. Everybody, we talked to,
everybody we came back at something to say about the fire.

(01:35:15):
Even the guy who was waiting on us that we
ate yesterday, he said, you guys be safe out there,
and you talk about communal Our hearts broke this morning,
just a short time ago. I mean, I'm talking within
the last half hour. Our producer downstairs, we took a
drive through the Palisades in the neighborhood and we got
that access right. But we had a woman come up
to our producer in the lobby and said, hey, you're

(01:35:35):
with the press. Can I give you my address and
my key to my home and can you go check
it out for us? And we our hearts were broken,
because damn, we absolutely would have done that for you,
but we were always back and weren't going back. It's
that kind of desperation that so many people have. I
think that doesn't come through sometimes as we talk about
celebrities on TV losing their home and we sing all

(01:35:56):
this devastation. Man, every human being in Los Angeles and
touched in some way, Shermer fashioned by what's happening, and
you don't feel it necessarily until you get on the
ground here, and man, we've felt it from the moment
we even before we landed, even.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
If you're a celebrity or not, because obviously the press
or not the press. I'm sorry, but social media sometimes
gives grief to celebrities like, oh, well, you're just a millionaire. Whatever.
A dinner table that you sat around with your child
and talked about their day, their accomplishments. There, ups and downs,
is a place where memories were made. And that's a home.
Regardless of the square footage of that home, it's still

(01:36:30):
a home. And that's what's heartbreaking to so many people.
As for folks asking you to check on their houses,
that has been happening NonStop to every single reporter here
in Los Angeles. They're in their dms. Anybody who has
access to a fire area has been inundated with requests
to check on folks as homes. It's so sad in
that respect.

Speaker 10 (01:36:51):
Yeah, and it's so it's weird, man. For us, Yes,
we're here from New York and New Yorgans can be tough,
but they can be kind as well at times. And
for us to have somebody come up to us and
second largest city in the US and say, here's the
key to my house, will you take this for me?
That's just like you said, I know that everybody's desperate
for information, but to walk up to a complete stranger
and just we haven't been here long. Yeah, And that

(01:37:12):
just really stood out to us and kind of drove
home kind of what's going or in a way that
the pictures just can't do well.

Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
Keep getting the word out to the rest of the country.
We appreciate you doing that. We don't want this story
to fade in the news cycle. And I know it's
not going that's kind of a dumb statement on my part,
but do get the word out. Some more help can
be you know, sent our way. And on a light note,
you said you're from New York, remind you that you
know your guys will never see another baseball game ever

(01:37:39):
in person after what they did the MOOKI.

Speaker 15 (01:37:40):
Bets Yes, well that indefinite suspension from any sort of
Major League Baseball stadium office business. Yeah, I think that's fairly.
That's what should happen, right, That's not okay, And that's
not what New Yorkers are all about. Those were too

(01:38:01):
bad Apple.

Speaker 10 (01:38:02):
No bell a Yankees outfitler would have caught the ball anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
So oh all right, now I've done with talk of you.
Done with both of you guys. Be safe. Thank you
for any efforts and any health that you're providing right now.
We appreciate anything. We'll take everything we can get.

Speaker 15 (01:38:18):
Thank you, Bell, We appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
Okay, take care guys,
