Speaker 1 (03:07):
What's what's the story behind all these twinkies? You have
four boxes of twinkies. I feel like a little.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Our friend gave him to us again.
Speaker 2 (03:14):

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Would anybody like a twinkie?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah? Open them up? Tossing those things around.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I'm going to toss them around.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's what twinkies are for.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I have an update on South Korea for everybody who's
paying attention to see which which side's going to win
on this. So I told you that South Korea's president
Yunsok yule declared an emergency martial law because he was
afraid that communists and North Korean sympathizers were going to
take over parliament.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I thought it was his own party that was closing
in on him.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well here's the thing now, he says, I declare martial
law in order to eradicate the shameless pro North Korea
anti state forces. A few hours after that, the National Assembly.
Their legislature said he's cuckoo pants. Said he's cuckoo pants, right,
even though that's not how you pronounce his name. They
said they want an immediate lift of the immediate emergency
(04:12):
martial law.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Crazy and he was barring his own people from coming
back to the parliament. It was a total mess.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So under the South Korean constitution, martial law must be lifted.
But we don't know what he's going to do because
it's the middle of the night in South Korea, so
we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Oh it's a twinkie.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I also have some good news. Are ten o'clock totals
already at ten o'clock this morning. Thanks to your generosity,
Kfi's Pastathon has raised for Katerina's Club one hundred and
forty three thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Six Wow.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
That's a that's a big jump from nine and just
shy of six thousand, nine hundred pounds of pasta and sauce.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
That is is well over three tons of pasta and
sauce that have already been raised as the result of
your generosity on this Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I know we were just running out of time, but
briefly I wanted to bring this to your attention, because
I know that you've had bats in your house, Yes,
multiple couple times. A few times. A bat has flown
into a woman's classroom in Fresno. An art teacher at
a middle school bitten her and she has died. It
was a rabid bat, So you need to be careful.
(05:33):
I don't fly into your house. I got a set
the screen for the door so they don't come in.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
How many years were you in that house with no
screen on that door?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Six five five?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
So I only had two bats that came in that
I don't have bats the first bat, and the bat.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Never bit me, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So you could have rav's right now.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I could.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I probably would have felt the effects of it long
before that, following at the mouth something like that. All right,
we're gonna be out here today, live until one o'clock
for our show.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yes, I just have common signs that an animal has rabies, okay,
a bat that can't fly all right, a wild animal
that seems unusually tame okay. These are all scary signs
because they seem so passive.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Right, animals are so cute? Yeah, No, an animal.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Out during the day that's usually active only at night,
a pet that has trouble walking, that's so pet cemetery, right.
Just don't touch the wild animals.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I think that's that's a good, good, helpful hint. Today
on Giving Tuesday, don't help the crippled animals.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Are at Anaheim White House Restaurant for our annual pastathon.
This is all about feeding hungry kids in southern California.
Of course, because of Katerina's Club and your generosity, Chef
Bruno is able to provide more than twenty five thousand
meals every week to kids in needs. So this is
a big day for the entire year. If you can
(07:04):
come by, donate pasta, sauce, money, whatever. We've got auction
items on the website KFI AM six forty dot com
slash Pastathon. You can check those out. Our auction item
is going to the Dodger game and the suite all
the Dodger dogs you can eat. You've put down three
or four sometimes yeah before the third inning, and then
(07:25):
you leave with a Dodger dog sticking.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Out of your pocket, one in each back pocket.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah good.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Look, Well I.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Figured you know, if I need to bribe my way
to get out quicker, I can offer them a semi
warm Dodger dog that's been in my back pocket. There
are a couple of stories that are going on that
we're keeping our eyes on. In Manhattan, for example, a
jury is to set to decide whether Daniel Penny, the
guy who choked a homeless man in a subway car
last year, would be guilty of manslaughter. The prosecutors are
(07:54):
finishing their closing arguments today. When we get into swamp Watch,
just a shortened version of swamp Watch. Next hour, we'll
talk about President elect Trump's demand that hostages be released
before his inauguration or there will be hell to pay.
That was the comment that came in. And then in
La County we get a new DA today. Thank the
(08:15):
Lord Jesus, Nathan Hofkman is going to be sworn in
this morning on the front steps of the Hall of Justice.
And not that we have to point this out, but
he stomped George gascon uh sixty.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Turns out law and order is essential for a civilized society.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Well, let's not get crazy about civilized society.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The criminals, you know, they keep doing the criminal stuff
if you don't do anything other than kiss them and
tickle them and take their picture.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
One of the ways that you can help out today
at our postathon is you go into a wild Fork
Foods location in Costa Mesa, Mission Viejo, Laguna de gall
Or huntingson Beach, do your regular shopping.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Say KFI postathon.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
At checkout, fifteen percent of your total is going to
be donated to the postathon. You can plan your meal
when you go to Wildforkfoods dot com and by the way.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
High highest quality meat and seafood at crazy low prices.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Game poultry, veal, rabbit, goat bison, elm venison, alligator, ostrich
and then all of your normals, the lambs and the
beefs and the chickens and turkeys and things like that.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Patrick Shinagawa has the best job in the world manager.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
It's fun because there's over seven hundred different products and wow,
we can cram it into a small place because it's
all frozen, right. And this is even better because people
can come and shop and fifteen percent of the sales
go to the pastaton.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, it's really incredible. So explain who's your regular customer.
People that come in and they're gonna they're gonna store
their meat for a while. They want to eat it fresh?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
What's we have foodies, we have grill enthusiasts, families, budget shoppers.
Everybody comes, well, people that know about us.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Trying to get it out there.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
What is your favorite meat?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Patrick? I ask everyone this.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, well, she just to be clear, she's gonna judge
you on your answer.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
It in a deli for about six years, so meats
are near and dear to my heart.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Well, my favorite beef would have to be a hangar steak,
and then the flat iron is a close second.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's delicious, yes, Now how when you cook it? When
you do it, do.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You do you mess it up with a bunch of
extra stuff or you just the salt and pepper guy.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
And it depends on the mood.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Okay, I do both, Yeah for sure. Because it's versatile,
you you could.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Have it any way you want.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's like butter.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You can just eat it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Sometimes it's good cold, sometimes it's good warm.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Just stab it with a fork and just gnaw on
it like it's a popsicle.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Right, have you had the alligator?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
I have?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
And you know, if you want something breaded and fried
and delicious, that's what you should.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The two magic words breaded and fried. You guys havemultiple
locations and I we just drove My wife and I
just drove by one last night way up in North
La County, so we were excited about the idea. We
haven't been in there yet. When someone goes in there
for the first time, what do you think they should
should ask?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
They should look for? What's your what's your suggestion?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I think that people should just take their time and
look around, because over seven hundred products, if you go
too fast and just zero in on what you want,
you might miss something that you didn't know that you wanted.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
And then you guys also have some of the quick
and easy options, which are the appetizers, some of these
ready meals and things like that.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Sure, all kinds of convenience meals from chicken pop pie
to a frozen pizza, pastas, dessert spreads.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So something for everybody. Everyone's going to be fine. What
they're looking for.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Where do you source all this? All the meat from animals?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well, that's probably a good good play. No lab grown
anything in there. That's not where we're looking.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
Me.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I get overwhelmed the places like that. I was in
Bishop Mahogany Smoked Meats is the place and I walk
in and I was just I was overwhelmed with all
the different meat. And do you have people that walk
in and they're just like, oh my gosh, I've reached
the mecca.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Right, Well, we don't want that to happen. So just
ask for any of us and we'll we'll give you
a personal tour.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And then if somebody comes up with a slab of
meat that they've never had before, whether it's a venison
or alligator like we were talking about, or even rabbit,
and you guys have tips and tricks on how to
cook it perfectly correct.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yes, all of our associates are fully trained. They know
all about the meats.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
This website is incredible.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
The website is incredibly well done.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, Wildforkfoods dot com is where you find it all
the different locations as well. And Patrick, you're the manager
at the at the Wildfork Foods in Huntington Conington Beach.
People come in and say hi to you location.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
We're on the corner of Brockhurston Adams.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Okay, yeah, I know right where that is.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
And again you go to to the Wildfork Foods locations
either Patrick's location in Huntingson Beach, Coasta Mesa Mission Viejo
or Laguna and Aguel do your chunk roast?
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Do you do your regular shopping and then at checkout
you tell them to that you're there for the KFI
Pastathon and at fifteen percent of your total.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Is going to be donated to the KFI posta.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Don't sleep on the cream and cheese, potato.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Grotten delicious, Oh my goodness, some magic words.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
There's some great bread products the bakery too, bread products.
Thanks Patrick for coming by my pleasure. Thank you for
being the partners with us in all of this.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
You bet.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I hope we can keep this going.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Manager Wildfort Foods in Huntingson Beach.
Speaker 1 (13:48):

Speaker 3 (13:49):
We have a lot, have a lot of twinkies? So
you better that? All right? You get more? Were you
getting better at this?
Speaker 1 (14:00):

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah? Thanks?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Good?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Can you hit Carl in the forehead?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Line drive on?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Then let me try again? Oh no, I was stopped
over the tree.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Make sure you go to campiam six forty dot com
slash pastathon and donate to this year's pastathon. You can
also come on out to the White House Restaurant here
and drop off your pasta and sauce donations or check
or cash or.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Whatever you would like. We'll be here all day until
ten o'clock tonight. As a matter of fact.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We have an auction item up there to go to
the game with us. You're the world champion, World Series champion. Yeah,
Los Angeles Dodgers. You'll sit in the suite. It'll be fun.
That's only eighteen hundred dollars right now, that's a steal
because you put on a show. Every time we've gone
to that suite, you have put on a show.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I thank you for give a man.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
A couple of free Dodger dogs and he gets crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It is it is. It is a scene. It is
a it is a scene something. But we've never been
kicked out. Maybe that's what we try for this year.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
There there was a questionable time.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We didn't get kicked out. We got escorted. I mean
that was and that was very different. It was very
amiable at that point.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It was kind of like when we got escorted out
of the casino in Cleveland because Ray Lowez kicked the
penny slot machine the good old days. John co hosting
with John. That's up to four thousand dollars, four thousand
and one. What now, what happens if it's like a
crazy person, you know what I mean? And then John's
there for three hours trapped in this padded room.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
No, I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I think they kind of cancel each other out at
that point. That's the two kinds of crazy. They can't
bat Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I forgot forgot who we're dealing with, Ted Barnes, Tom
George from Thorst and Buick GMC, always great partners. This
is where the Kfi family goes to buy vehicles because
they make us great deals. It's where I bought my truck.
Best experience I've ever had. In fact, I put off
buying a vehicle for a long time because I was
(16:03):
dreading going to a dealership, and these guys made all
of that go away. Just a real family atmosphere there
at Thorston BOGMC. It's right off the two ten there
in Pasadena, and they've all not only partnered up with
us to give you guys all a great deal, but
they have become major partners with the pastathon and this
year you can see the beautiful electric GMC truck. I
(16:25):
don't know anything more about it than that, but it
is gorgeous. Instead of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Sierra right, grab that, hit that little white button and
make it red. Oh yeah, there you go, you go.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Came out in twenty twenty four. This is a new
twenty twenty five. It's got like four hundred miles of range.
It's it's the nicest car I've ever driven, for sure.
Everybody I talked to you says it's it's really it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It's luxury. It's just complete luxury in there.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
You guys have been a drop off location for us
this year, which has been great. And the back of
that truck is full of pasta and sauce, So thank
you all for that.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
When you I mean as a business.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Outside of car dealership, outside of GMC specifically, but when
you guys get involved in situations like this, charitable events
like this, how do you make the decision about which
ones they get involved with?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Great question. I've been listening to KFI for years and
obviously listened to the show, and then I met Shannon
when you bought the car from us, and you know,
you got to get involved with something, and I just thought,
what better way than to partner up with KFI and
something I like to listen to and I guess that's
how I made the decisions.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Well, we greatly appreciated that.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It feels good too. I mean I was talking, we
were talking to Smart and Final earlier, Tina, and it's
a great business model to get involved with charity, you know.
It just the overall feel probably in the showroom there,
with people dropping stuff off and with staff and everything.
It's just it feels good, especially around the holidays, especially.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Around the holidays, and the employees got involved, so and
they're bringing stuff and so it was it's just really cool.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That's very cool. You shall have a competition next year
to see, yeah, to see who brings them the most.
I love a competition, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well, you guys, I mean, you guys have been great
partners of the show as well. Tell us about what
it is that's different about Thorson in terms of the
there's dealerships.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
On every corner. But why why would people go to
Thorston as supposed to other places.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Well, we're still family owned. What's my business now? But
been there for thirty four years so just a little while.
Got employees have been there even before we bought the store,
over forty years. Wow, So I got a handful of
employees that have been there for well over twenty five
so it just it's a nice family asphere, and that's
one of the reasons people like to work there too,
(18:40):
is that just they feel like family and not just
a number and part of the corporate you know, corporate
scene or anything. So you know they can come in
go see the boss anytime and went on there.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
What they call you on your cell phone when you're
not prom is that there's always that.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Anything you want to tell us about new vehicles, new stock,
get out the twenty twenty four still or what's the deal?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
I don't even know how to speak car.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So I'm just stumbling over every you have.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Any ones with four wheels now or most four? That's
so cool.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Yeah, we're at the end of the year, so the
deals are as good as they've been all year. And uh,
we're making deals. We got a lot of inventory. During COVID,
a lot of the inventory was gone, so it's all back.
We've got EV's gas.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
How mean does Tom get if you're not moving these vehicles?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
How many mean? How many?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yell a lot?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
We send them home.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, it's funny because his wife sent him out of
the house this morning, right, and if you send it back,
it's like a fight between you and the wife.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Right, that's it.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
The freeway wins, exactly, the freeway. Well, you can come
on out and check out that twenty twenty five gmcc
Era EV that's out there. It's really a beautiful vehicle
and it's full again, like we said, a pasta and
sauce that you guys brought, So thank you for that pleasure.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And what's that? Oh, that's right, I picked a.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
This is explain what the bike is so I can
not selling.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
So the bike is by a company called Recon. They
have a hummer all will drive e bike. It's got
a motor on each hub. It'll go anywhere. It's like
thirty miles of range.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's Kerr County. So the courthouse was in Delano? Is
that how you say it?
Speaker 3 (24:40):

I told you about fighting dementia. Yeah, learning to play
the piano.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I forgot already. No, here's so.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
There was a study of studies. This is a big
meta study that they did. They looked at twenty thousand
older adults over the course of thirty years, and they
said that there were three lifestyle factors that outweighed all
the others in terms of combating dementia.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Walking, no, no.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
The three biggest predictors of who goes on to have

Now when you do your online shopping, you can buy
insurance at checkout. Would you pay a buck or five
bucks or whatever it is, and if your package is
not delivered or it's stolen or something like that, they'll
replace it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Does the insurance go up when the price of the
item goes up?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
The ones i've seen look like their percentage of whatever
your final christ I.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Saw the guy in I think it was La County
who had three MacBooks stolen.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Does Apple when they send you a MacBook, does it
look like an Apple backbook type box?

shape of it.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Right, Don't they make it look like a box of
diapers or something?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
It would be It would behoove them to do that.
I don't know why they don't do that, Like wash manure.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
There's also the sticker on the side that says that
there's a there's a battery inside, right, which.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Is a dead giveaway.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I have that, but if there was a way for
them to mask what it was.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Safe Wise, the company, the security company safe Wise, estimates
that one hundred and twenty million packages were taken off
of porches last year one hundred and twenty million. The
price tag on that is about sixteen billion dollars. In
terms of the hardest hit cities, New York City lost
(27:38):
almost a billion dollars last year, and in stuff that
was taken off of people's porches, Philadelphia is in second,
Chicago is third. None of that is a huge surprise.
DC is fourth, and Houston round out the top five
in the annual porch Pirate.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Porches or walk up porches maybe four or five steps
or something, so it's easy to's visible that there's something
on the porch and easy to quicken, you know, grab
it quick well.

that come in and out of that Whole Foods parking
lot are insane. They are the most narcissistic people I've

you when you I don't remember there's a tagline on
it something like when you sit on the potty, read
something naughty or but it was a book that you
(29:42):
fill out and they would leave a pencil in there,
so when you're sitting there with nothing else to do,
you could fill out the questionnaires like you flip a page.
Speaker 3 (29:52):

and I was like, Oh, I'm going to sign the
guest book in the bathroom. Shannon was here.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Because that book has not moved.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
My parents have long gone shuffled off their mortal coil,
