Speaker 1 (02:09):
I loved it.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
I thought it was great, well, cheesy, but it was good.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was good for those of us who were old
enough to remember the first one. It was very reminiscent.
It was just nice to see Axel.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, and there were throwbacks in there and everything.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
So what was it?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Four?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Was this four? Beverly Hills GOP four? Right?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I think so?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
About right?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah? Yeah, because one, two and three I liked all
of them now, yeah, I thought, yeah, I thought Eddie
was great in that, you.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Know, the first one I really really liked, and this
last one was pretty nice. Yeah, the two in the middle,
I don't. First of all, they brought us the tremendous
hit Shakedown by Bob Seger, which is the worst thing
he ever recorded. Yeah, yeah, but all the way to
the bank, I know. Well, yeah, Bob don't care bobble
sing Happy Birthday. If there's royalties in it, Yeah, I
would too, But I can't even tell you what the
middle two were about Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't think I don't think anybody claims that they
were quality. But on this last one, we went and
did a story with the real Beverly Hill Police about it.
And because they've got this new real time crime center
that's pretty amazing. It looks like Mission Control and they've
got so many cameras around the city and everything, and
they think it's great. They love it all the like
Hi Jenson jokes about Beverly Hills Police.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
They think it's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Do you think anybody there fell for the banana and
the tailpipe?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Banana and the tailpipea the tailpot, I'm not going for.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
That for good.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, it's crazy. Is they are a really high tech
police department. They they use what we did a story
as well with them, where they've got these launchers that
they now use where they for police chases, which you
know are very popular here in LA and they're on
TV multiple times a day here Wall the Wall, but
instead of chasing because the chase can be so deadly,
that now the Beverly Hills patrol cars have these two

(03:44):
little things and they get one chance and if they
miss it, and they've got a second one but two
low launchers with GPS trackers in them, and they've got
hot glue on the other end. At once they activate them,
it heats up the glue and they go and they
try to shoot it out at the car in front
of them, so they don't have to chase, and they
can just watch them on a GEPs screen and watch
where they go.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's easily how it should be done. That's easy.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's why they appreciated Oj so much. They were like,
this guy knows how to do this. This is wonderful.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, slow motion.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, this is the way a chase should be if
you're civilized.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Baby Al Collings and the White Bronco.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know he traded that.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, yeah, that was so la.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
But yeah, it's several times a day. It's a very
la thing. And some of them will get up. We
had one the other day that got up to like
one hundred and ninety miles an hour.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Some of them are crazy, yeah, because you get the
high end, you know, sports cars.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Cars or the little motorcycles that are made for performance.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Hey, so I know you're on kind of borrowed time here.
It looks like so let's get to the ultra processed
food companies are being sued, and I hope I think
this is a good thing, right.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, Well, I mean this is kind of the rare
moment when liberal San Francisco and the Trump administration agree
on something here as the administration's going after the ultra
processed foods and the additives and everything else. So I
gotta say though, when they came out announced this today
was like the fun Police came out during this announcement
that there was a big table of things that they
say that we are eating that we think are healthy

(05:09):
that are actually killing us, like wheat thins and neutral
grain bars and special k bars and Cheerios and lean cuisine,
along with a bunch of other items they had like
Oreos and craft Mayo and Chef Boyard and lunchables and
Cheetos and hot pockets and Funfetti elf on the shelf,
Pillsbury cake frosting. But these are all items in the
San Francisco City Attorney David Chew said today as they

(05:32):
are filing a lawsuit now against the biggest food manufacturers,
they say they're making us fat, disease prone, and making
us overall unhealthy in the end dying.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
And he said this today.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
Our case is about companies who design food to be
harmful and addictive and marketed their products to maximize profits.
Like the tobacco industry, they knew their products make people
very sick, but hid the truth from the public from
untold billions and left Americans to deal with the consequences.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
So the allegation in the San Francisco lawsuit is that
this started with tobacco companies back in the sixties and
seventies buying food companies, and that the food companies use
tobacco industry tactics and now put chemicals in their foods
to get Americans, especially children, addicted to these highly processed foods,
and their claiming lawsuit that what's being produced is sold

(06:25):
as food, but with the chemicals in them, that it's
not really food that were either.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
The industry has created thousands of new chemicals which the
body metabolizes and craves differently, and they are designed to
be addictive. Addictedness is a feature, not a bug.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
So they're naming a bunch of companies, including Craft and
Posts and Coca Cola and others, And the allegation is
that these companies have taken part in unfair and deceptive practices,
lying about foods being healthy, not disclosing chemicals put in
them to make them addictive, and they're going after them.
Doctor Kim Nole Green, she's a pediatrician.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
She spoke to.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
These foods now make up nearly seventy percent of the
calories in children's diets in the United States. That means
that most of what our kids eat does not resemble
new chant rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins,
which are essential for growth and brain development.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Huch, this is fifty percent of what adults you're eating
typically are these foods, and that it's leading They say,
type two diabetes, cancer, depression, a bunch of other things.
And they say, we don't even notice it because for
decades we grew up with this, that it was all
around us, that even foods that we think are healthy
that aren't really if they're not straight out of the
garden or wherever, because they're being mass produced in highly

(07:38):
processed We reached out to a bunch of food companies today.
Their industry trade group sent us the response saying that
they support making healthier choices, that they've worked increased protein
and fiber, reduce sugar and sodium, takeout synthetic color additives.
But they argue there is no agreed upon definition of
what an ultra processed food is and that they say
their food is being demonized by ignoring the full nutrient content.

(08:01):
But San Francisco's lawsuit, they're saying, these companies know their
food is making people sick, but they are selling it
anyway like the tobacco industry did years ago to make
money off of it, and they're going after these companies.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Well, two things come to mind. And I know you
got a roll, Yeah, I know you're good as well
as we do. Sugar. Do you really need anything other
than that for an addiction, because that is the highly
highly addictive sugar. The other thing that comes to mind
is you don't have to eat it. Yeah, I mean
you don't have to eat it. I'm serious, Like yeah,
I mean their argument and what we've heard from sign

(08:35):
Off on it is really where I was going with that.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, yeah, I mean they say, really it's the low
income neighborhoods where it's like the only thing that's available
or you know, very limited supplies of the other.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Stuff, and it's cheap, it's affordable.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
That that's what people are are buying thinking that they're
being healthy, you know, all a neutral grain bar or
wheat thins, and then all the other stuff as well
where people don't know what's in it. So the food
industry is going to fight this, but Sanford Cisco is
saying that they're they're going to fight them, and that
they wanted off the shelves.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
All right. I like stone, ABC News out of Los Angeles.
I like, thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
You gotta bye, guys.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
See you.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Man, if it's created a lab, I would not call
it food. However, you must understand the same people making
this argument are the ones who want us to genetically engineer,
chimically it created meat products. Yes, how do you how
do you coincide those two exactly?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Man, it's it's really six and one a half dozen of
the other. I mean, how is it exactly

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
