Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yes, especially and the jam In Morning Show with DJ
Foreign and Santi.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
When you need to know, we got you three things
you need to know on Bunton's number one for hip
hop and the best throwbags you haven't any bore five.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
The kid neat Maverick.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
That's why I fought for you. That's why you're still here.
Thank you Rush for everything.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
My God, you guys like my childhood.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Wednesday, April second, And if you haven't heard the news,
Iceman is gone. Val Kilmer sixty five years old, known
for I mean serious classics top Gun like you just
heard the doors. He died in La yesterday. His daughter
Mercedes said that he died of pneumonia. Now, he had

(00:55):
been diagnosed with a throat cancer back in twenty fourteen.
He had like legit severe bleeding in his throat. It
was so bad he essentially was voiceless. Yeah, and so
when he did the reboot for a top Gun, it
was actually.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Ai Yeah, and like it sounds pretty spot on considering. Yeah,
if you go back, I think you had cancer for
a while without getting it treated. Because he's Christian scientist,
so in that religion you prayed all that stuff away
before he got a treatment, but thankfully he went in
because they were able to cure it.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, the tumor was so massive, so bad. It was
a result of oral cancer, which was just crazy. But yeah,
you can tell that he's struggling to speak in the film.
But then I never knew that that it was dubbed
over with AI to actually be able to hear him.
And fun fact for you, that role that he played

(01:46):
in Top Gun. When he was first given the script,
he was like, I'm good, you got to rework this.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
I'll do it, but that you have to change. He
basically said no at first.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
And honestly, it wouldn't have been as good because I
think like his role in this, like he's a pivotal
point to why Maverick is still involved in Fighter Jets.
So if you haven't seen the film, you have to
go back and back and watch it. But his character
is so important to the whole storyline.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah, I remember him from Batman Forever. Since that's right,
that was the Jack Nicholson one.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
That was not.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Who was the villain.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It was Jim Carrey and Ty Jones. Yes, it was
supposed to be the third part to Michael Keaton's Batman's
but then they you know, changed everything, but a few
movies that you have to see. He he is probably
the best movie he's ever been in. He's not a
star in that, but that movie is so good. And
then Tombstone. What he did in Tombstone was pure action.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Was amazing.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Oh my god, Donliday amazing.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
He played Jim Morrison as.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Jim Morrison in The Doors.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
The Doors, which I feel like is being shown a
lot on Instagram right now.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
People are, yeah, like that movie is really good, but
you I feel like, to really enjoy that, you have
to be a fan of the Doors and like music
and a fan of the six sixties. But it's still
like a good watch.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
I mean, sixty is so young.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, he survived by his two kids, Mercedes and Jack.
He's just he's one of those names where, like AJ
said this morning, she's like, tell me what he was
in because I know the name Val Kilmore.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I feel like everybody knows VAL's name.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, and like Iceman and the original, like top Gun
that is a good looking guy.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
Like that's a handsome.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Fighter Jets, Like that's Iceman.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I wonder how Tom will handle this because I feel
like I haven't heard any stories about them not being
ghost No.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
I think I gotta go watch Heat with him in
it too. He was a good movie. Did you ever
watch that? Yeah, that's why I just said that he didn't. Yeah,
classic classic, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Well r ip to the Iceman.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I can't believe he's gone and sixty five again, just way, way,
way too young. The box truck in Chinatown yesterday was crazy.
It scared me when I saw the initial photos. It
was giving me the feelings of the New Orleans time
of incident because I thought the same thing because at
that point I didn't know. I was like, was it
an actual accident? Was it an attack? Here are we

(04:08):
have both the police and the DA talking about the
incident in Chinatown yesterday.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Eliminary investigation seems to indicate that this is.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
A seems to be more of a tragic accident than
anything else.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
However, it's still under investigation.

Speaker 7 (04:21):
We don't have any vision to believe that this was
an intentional act. There's still quite a ways to go
in this investigation, and we will follow the facts with
the lead US and do everything we can to determine
exactly what happened here.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
There's video footage of the Pens truck before it's turned over,
before it went off the road, and that.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Thing is flying, it's cruising.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Then pretty much after that all you see our photos
of it completely overturned. Multiple people were struck. I can
tell you for people transported to area hospitals. One is
in critical. Two people actually said we're good on treatment.
So a lot of people were hit by this. And
I can tell you that the man driving at one
point was in critical condition.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
He has since been stabilized. But again, it.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Does seem like it's leaning more towards accident. Something happened
to him while he was driving, as opposed to he
saw a group of people and drove into them.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Seems like maybe you get a heart attack or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
And yeah, which happens some sort That's what I kind
of thought, some sort of medical issue. But here's here's
somebody describing the crash. People said that the sound was nuts.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
I just saw one or two people laying on the ground.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
We heard a lot of booming noises, sounded like metal crashing.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Some car went into a store and the grass is broken.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Scary because the foot traffic in Chinatown is crazy especially. Yeah,
so hopefully everybody is good, and we get some more
answers there. It was a big day yesterday in court
for Karen read day one of the retrial. So, guys,
in total, we need twelve jurors and four alternates.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yeah, did you see how many they got yesterday?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah? Two?

Speaker 5 (06:09):
I mean, listen, two's better than that.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah. I just see Bev leaving Judge, Bev Canoni going
home and just be just so fed up. She just
hates all of it. She's so annoyed. But she was
asking some questions. They had ninety two prospective jurors present yesterday.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
Seventy eight of them.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Seventy eight of the ninety two had some familiarity with
Karen Reid's legal drama. Okay, forty of them. Forty of
the ninety two had already formed an opinion on her,
like and those people gotta go.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Yeah, yeah, forty Jesus, this might take a while.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
I mean, we have two, which is good, but we
still have so many more to find. Again, it's going
to be impossible to find anybody who.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Does not camp, not in this area, not that lives around.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
It's just you just gotta believe that they impartial will
at least try to figure out.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I wonder how they do that though.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
For if Karen, I have a life sentence on the line,
I'm not I'm not being like, all right, close enough,
but let this take as much time as it needs,
because I'm not playing these games with me.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Do you know they hire people to sit like in
individual teams that watch body language that like as questions
of being asked to somebody else, Like you're watching them
to see kind of how they shrug their shoulder or
kind of batter eye and they're like, nah, that one.
Nobody kind of feels a way about you, wasn't.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's probably why they added that juror to their team,
because that's the kind of insight that you need.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
You got a clip of us for enough, Karen.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
This was her walking in to court.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
I'm here, we're fighting. Well, keep fighting. I feel strong,
So I feel good.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
How do you feel about the former juror who's actually
on your team?

Speaker 8 (07:51):
Now? I'm sorry that I have these pickle chips in
my mouth, but I feel I'm just another resource. How
did this land? How did even Jerry slitch and go
for the jurors? The prospective jurors? So just another resource
that we're utilizing. I just just feel lucky. I'm not
paying any of these people. They're not asking for anything.
They're spending time away from their children.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
For free pickled pickled pickle chips.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Having a snizzack on the way into court.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
There would Deep River pickle chips. Deep River makes probably
the best chips in the world.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Really, Yeah, I've actually had those before. Oh my god,
they're like kettle cooked.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yes, I don't know about the pickle ones.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
But you could only have by the way, and let
me wrap that up, and that is that.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
You could only have one chip for the rest of
your life.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
It's either a classic Laize or cool range Dorito.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Bro salt and then I love the salt and vinegar.
It's a decquiere taste.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
But barbecue do Jean or something like that.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, chips, the mesquite, barbecue, kettle come on, come on,
I'm clowninger. But like, I understand having a little chip here.
Maybe not if my life was on the line, but whatever.
Those three things need to know for Wednesday, April this second,
