lawsuit after what happened in Vegas overthe weekend, Aram suffered to the Seahawks
and hey, the ten is openand it is coast, one of three
point five top stories top the hour. Good morning of Ellen k Hey,

(02:53):
big applause to the cruise working dayand night to get the ten patched up
and open for this morning's commute throughdowntown Tas. Finished two weeks ahead of
schedule, so incredible. Governor Newsonmade the announcement yesterday where he was joined
by VP Harris and Mayor Bass,who said this everyone came together, showing
the unity from the White House tothe Governor to our Senator, all of

(03:19):
us standing together to make sure thatthis got done. And we're gonna have
Mayor Bass on this morning so wecan say thank you, Mayor Bass.
And it goes without saying officials,we're hugely concerned about what a close ten
would have done for travel this week. In related news, we have a
POI, a person of interest.Police finally released a surveillance photos of that
person wanted in connection was setting thefire. Six week tall, one ninety

(03:40):
pounds, black hair, gray shoes, green scarf, about thirty years old,
a knee brace on his right legand a possible burn on his left.
We have all the images posted onour Insta stories Coast one oh three
five FM. And what about thisFormula one facing a class action suit after
track damage led paying fans to getonly nine minutes of action at a Grand
Prix practice session. The track gotfixed ahead of Saturday's main event, which

(04:02):
the Auto Racing orgspand five hundred millionto put on. They've signed a five
year deal, so plenty of time, I guess to get that perfected.
And what about this the former president? Actually tonight it's a Super Bowl rematch,
and no doubt the nation will bewatching Chiefs Eagles Kelsey Brothers Monday Night
football. Basically this could be aSuper Bowl preview. They're the best two

(04:24):
teams in the NFL. Chiefs QBPat Mahomes is focused on the game,
but also Taylor Swift. I thinkit becomes a bigger deal to the fan
bases than it does to the guysthat are actually in the building. But
I think when you meet the people, and I've been looking up to meet
Taylor and see how good of aperson she is, I think you understand
why it's not become a distraction oranything like that. All right five fifteen

(04:44):
ESPN Ram surprised the Seahawksman Seattle misseda fifty five yard attempt three seconds to
go. Chargers are suffering. Bosaand Jones carted off and it was UCLO

Nick Pauliochanni coming up with traffic andboy are we going to rely on Nick

(05:55):
this week? By the way,guys, I'll be in the pray Thursday.
Yeah, even rhymes. We're gonnafly to Dallas to see my mother
in law because my father in lawpassed on Friday morning, Roy Senior,
and so we're worried about her.She's holding up so far. It's only
been a few days. But theywere married for sixty four years, and

(06:17):
so the same thing when my dad, when we lost mom sixty four years.
So it's this shocking new world.But it was Friday morning, three
point thirty. We got the calland I wake up thinking did I miss
my alarm? I was getting readyto come into the show, but I
had lost my voice. So beenthe doctor the day before and watching my

(06:40):
husband on the phone, and hejust starts crying. He said Dad died
and it just I don't know.We had just talked to him the night
before. We door dashed a Chickfil A sandwich to him. He was
entered in a hospice. The nurseKimberly called us. She said, you
want to talk to your dad.He's hungry, and we could hear him

(07:02):
say you wanted Chick fil A.So we grub hubbed a Chick fil A
sandwich to Kimberly and Dallas and heate it. And then my brother in
law called this because Roy Senior,my father in law, was getting ready
to go to bed, and hewas all snug in his bed and hospice,
you're so amazing. They're just socaring. And so my brother in

(07:28):
law put the phone on speaker andwe did too. It's just me and
my husband and we said good nightto Roy Senior. Roy said good night,
Dad, good night, and hesaid, oh, good night son.
And then my husband said, Ellen'shere too, and I said good
night Roy, sleep tight. Andso the last words my father in law
said were good night, Ellen,sleep tight. And then that was it.

(07:54):
He fell asleep and he didn't wakeup, and then we got the
call well and may he rest inpeace. He was a fun, funny
man who told great stories and wonevery game, Like every game, every
he would hit my ball and croquethe'd send it. Yea. He did
not care. He would beat Calvinat Monopoly, stories of yeah, I

(08:16):
know, yeah, he's a kid. Here's the thing. He's a sleeper.
He would lie and wait, andthen he would come in that last
minute and just decimate everybody. SoI know that he's doing all those things
in heaven right now. But yeah, it's it's huge losing a parent.
It's hard. I've learned, youknow. I just think that live near

(08:39):
your parents, are as close asyou can to them, bring them to
you as often as you can.If you're not near them, stay close,
make them laugh, reminisce, listento their stories, even call them
every day, text them, youknow, just that contact. It's just
so important. We had more contactI think with my father in law this
year as he was in declining health. Then we had another you know,

(09:01):
in a long time, and mepersonally because I'll call my dad, but
it would always be my husband callinghis parents and and you know, we
got to really reminisce a lot ofgreat stories and it really is incredible.
I'm just hearing you and Darlene kindof talk off the air a minute ago,
because dar you lost your father inlaw, and like, it's it's
incredible what the memories that people havecan do for you, you know,

(09:24):
like hearing them share stories, OhI remember when this happened or that,
because at that point that's all youhave. Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful.
Uh huh. So I'm excited foryou guys to hear more in the
coming days. I know it's sad, but I think you guys are going
to be filled with a lot ofjoy too. Yeah. Sharing the stories
it was so healing for our family. Yes, and anytime somebody came to

(09:46):
offer their condolence, which, bythe way, condolence I was looking up
the word. It's a Latin root, so it's gone with the pain,
like with pain, that's what thewind means, which I thought was so
interesting. Anyway, when they wouldcome to do that, they would share
stories about our father in law,and it lit up the room like,
yes, we wanted more. Anystories you had, it didn't matter how

(10:09):
big or small, but just itit healed our hearts. Yes. Yeah,
Well, you know, my husband'sthe king of overnight trips to Dallas.
So he hustled off to Dallas,came back, We picked up Calvin
at the airport yesterday at Burbank,and so Calvin's home for Thanksgiving and that's
been really good. Then we we'llgo to lax on Thursday to fly back
to Dallas. We're taking the firstflight out. How do you think we're

(10:31):
gonna do oof? Yeah, yeah, you might want to go to lax
after Wednesday's show straight away. That'sgonna be tough. What time the flights
at six fifteen? So you know, we'll we'll haul out of bed at
three or whatever and we'll get downthere. Yeah, and then we'll go
we'll go see the rest of thefamily. You know, it'll make a

(10:52):
good memory, Yeah, exactly.As my dad always says, it's character
building when you go through things,you know. It also in my life
to me about Keanu Reeves. StephenColbert hit him on his show and asked
him what happens when we die?What do you think happens when we die?
At Keanu Reeves? I know thatthe ones who love us will miss

banned Philadelphia ahead of the game ona certain radio station. There's an iHeart

to be. Taylor Swift once toldus a guy had never done anything crazy

half an hour. Okay, that'skind of what I do. Like when

and at first they did. Inthe years since, however, UCLA claims

other in kind donations. Speaking ofUCLA, they put the hurt on USC

but also Taylor Swift. I thinkit becomes a bigger deal to the fan
bases than it does to the guysthat are actually in the building. But
I think when you meet the people, and I've been looking up to meet
Taylor and see how good of aperson she is, I think you understand

It's always so hard to lose aparent, and when you do,
it's so fun to remember all thefun times. I mean, his health
was declining for so long, Ryan, as you know, like last February

(46:30):
we counted the trips my husband hastaken to Dallas. There's eleven trips so
far this year, from March tonow. So it was a lot of
back and forth. But now he'sa piece and that makes us feel better,
you know. I was thinking,he's been married for over sixty years
to my mother in law, Royand Joyce, and they met on a
party line. Incredible, a phoneparty line that's like the original hackers.

(46:53):
Yes, and so he busted inon the party line and she was on
with a couple of her girlfriends attheir apartment building. And she was a
nurse or going to school, Iknow, to be a radiologist, okay,
and so she's talking and then theyhear this guy's voice and it was
my father in law. And soat the time party lines, because I

(47:15):
wasn't here for them, that youcould just jump in and the ideal thing
to do would be to hang upright that's what people expected. Yeah,
I think so, like that wasthe courteous thing to do, is get
off the phone. There are someold movies where you can see, like
the party line happening. Yeah,but yeah, he stayed. He stayed,
and then they dated and then theyfell in love and got married.

(47:36):
So we'll miss you, Roy Sr. But so now we're going to go
there, We're going to go toDallas. We're gonna rave Lax on Thursday.
