Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Marathon Day Eagles. We're talking about Saint Patrick's Day tomorrow.
How people are celebrating that we are live here from Burbank,
the iHeartRadio Studios KFI AM six forty and like I said,
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app on the Ones and Twos
with producer Richie Heather Brookers over there with some news. Hello,
(00:24):
so nice to see you in real life. I've heard
you for so many years and it's great to put
a face to the voice.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thank you. Saw It's so nice to see you, and
welcome back. Thank you, Thank You's the good show today.
I'm excited too.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
There's a lot happening. And Robin also there playing some music.
Who actually is on the Ones and Twos? I could
say all of you are on the Ones and twos? Okay, yeah,
what are ones and twos?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Now?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Obviously I know, but I just wanted to ask in
case anybody didn't know.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
All right, Okay, I'll tell you what though. We are
going to ask you all kinds of questions out there
in the Los Angeles and beyond, wherever you're listening from.
Please give us a call, because today's question is what
do you do to be lucky? If you're Irish, you're
already lucky. They have the luck of the Irish at
Saint Patrick's Day tomorrow. But we're asking people what kind
of superstitious things do they do to be lucky. You
(01:14):
may knock two times on an airplane before you board
in the jet bridge. I think that's a common one.
I like that one. I always mismatch socks. That's my thing,
as it were, or so I say. I mean, it
really started as laziness, but here I am now with
mismatch socks always, and I think it's lucky to do that.
I like lucky stuff. If you have an idea for
(01:35):
what makes you lucky and you want to share with us,
the number is one hundred and five to two oh
one KFI. That's one in hundred five two zero one
five three four. If you have one of those touch
tone phones or maybe you know, we give you out
the numbers with the letters because we assume you probably
have a dial, a phone that you can dial. But
if you have one of those that spins, then the
(01:56):
number is one one hundred and five to oh one
five to three four. You can also leave your response
or talk back to us on the iHeartRadio app. You
can look for the microphone on the iHeartRadio app and
click talk to us and we'll play that. And, like
we said, that's really helpful if you just want to
leave some information for us and you don't care if
I talk back to you, that's like you get to talk,
(02:16):
but who cares what I say. I think that that's
a great opportunity. I can't believe we only have that now,
but there you go. One hundred five five three four.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The ones and two's are a reference to a DJ turntable.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So is a one like on.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
The one and two buttons, or you like one two
like maybe one's the beat? One is like a music
track or whatever. Hey, so I guess in this instance
it would be Robin because she controls what music is
played where we when we go to break and she
is the master of us.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
All people might not know this, but everything in that
studio is all vinyl. It's all records. You're actually spinning
vinyl over there, wikiwik we're old school radio. Well, I'm
happy that we're here together on this Sunday. Lots of
time about first though marathon. Did you get a chance
to check out any of the marathon today? Did you
watch it on TV? I think it's such a ride
of passage.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Noil but the boardop before me.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Elmer, he lives right next to it, and they're actually
blocking him getting home.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He can't get home right now because of the shutdowns. Yeah,
that's very interesting because we still do have a lot
of roads that are closed. I'm going to go over
them quickly here. They're going to start opening up a
couple of them in the next hour or so. Santa
Monica Boulevard, the westbound and eastbound lanes between Wilshire and Supallvda,
Sepulvada between Santa Monica and Wiltshire. Those are going to
open here in the next hour or so. Wilshire between
(03:40):
Supulvida and Barrington. That'll open at two twenty, that's about
ten minutes from now, and then throughout the afternoon in
Culver City, Century City rather we'll start to see some
of those roads open back up again. Five o'clock you'll
see San Paseni open between Wilshire and Salterire. So that's
in West La Avenue, the Stars, Santa Monica Boulevard, and
Constellation that is Century City that's not opening until eight
o'clock tonight. So does he live in the Italy? Is
(04:04):
that where the board op lives? He lives over at
the Central City Mall.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
No, he lives in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
No, yeah, he lives near I think he said Franklin
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
We got to get somebody out there for maybe somebody
who's listening can let him get through it, because that's
stuff coming up. We're also going to talk to somebody
from Ireland's thirty two, which is a classic Saint Patrick's
day hang. It's an Irish bar in Van Nuys. It's
a valley staple. He ran the marathon today and he's
also running an Irish bar during Saint Patrick's weekend. I'm
(04:35):
so curious to see how he does it. What an interesting,
interesting story anyway. Today though, like we said, the marathon
very exciting there for matt Rickman who won. He won
the marathon today with a time of two hours, seven
minutes and fifty six seconds, which actually might be faster
to get from downtown Los Angeles, or rather from Dodger
(04:55):
Stadium to downtown Los Angeles then back to the West
Side and Century city. Could you do that in two
hours and seven minutes in a car during rush hour?
I don't think so. So Matt very fast there. It's
a first American, like you heard as I was talking
about earlier to win the race since nineteen ninety four.
(05:15):
That was thirty one years ago. Paul Pilkington won. We
all love Paul Pilkington. Shout out to Paul. There's also
another race going on down in Long Beach that just
kicked off about ten minutes ago, the Sale Grand Prix
Sale GP tappening in Long Beach at the Port of La.
It's countries that are competing for the prize. I love
(05:36):
that about the marathon, that the people who run. It's
like the Olympics a little bit. They're repping their country,
so you feel a little prideful. You feel a little
proud there when you see somebody crossing the finish line
with your country. I think that's really neat. Shovel today
said first time in his Chris Shavel the KTLA's Chris Shovel.
I didn't say them, you know, because I know them
(05:56):
so I use their shorthand names. But of course he
and Megan Arms shob the shop he was saying, this
is the first time he's ever interviewed two Americans on
the podium, so very exciting there. Coming up, we will
check in with your answers here on what makes you happy?
Where to go to Saint Patrick's Day. We'll talk to
(06:17):
the proprietor, I must say, the proprietor, the owner of
Ireland's thirty two. I have a hard time with this
Monday Saint Patrick's Day thing, Heather. I don't know if
you do Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I do. I'm Irish word to the Motherland.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Look at this.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Now you say you're ready? Have you not been partaking
all weekend?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
If I was truly deeply Irish, I probably would have
started last Thursday.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Do you feel like a Monday is tough though? Because
I don't know. We all have weird schedules and news.
But I feel like I've been celebrating Saint Patrick's Day
since Thursday, And when I woke up this morning, I
saw all those people running and I thought, oh, man,
I don't know if I can keep going.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
You know, I had a much stronger salmonough for Saint
Patrick's Station Andagan's when I was in college. It hurts
too much now to party.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
To cart Shenanigan's also Irish.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yes, yes, so I remember eating. I remember waking up
and eating green eggs and ham, getting to the bar
like seven in the morning to have green eggs and ham,
and then drinking green beer all day.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Did you grow up in a real Irish city or
did you live in an Irish real Irish city?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well, I was like Oklahoma originally, which has a lot
of deep Irish roots, But I would say not really, No,
it was more just like college, you know, party years
who wanted to go out and get wild.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's weird because you know, I'm from Indiana originally, I
spent a lot of time in Chicago. My family's from
Chicago too, and we would always Saint Patrick's Day was something.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
They die the river green. Of course, you know that
in Chicago, in La the river's already green, so we
don't need to die it. But we don't do any
kind of thing on the same scale as those cities
that are real Irish Catholic Chicago or Boston or New York.
I mean, I feel like those places really are through
and through Saint Patrick's Day. But that doesn't stop people
here from having a good time, whether you're at Molly
(08:08):
Malone's or Tom Bergen's.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
It's not as celebrated here, I feel like. And that's
something I've noticed too. It's not quite as celebrated here
as it is in other parts.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I've also been studying a little bit the past few
days understanding the difference between Saint Patrick's Day in Ireland
versus America. The Saint Patrick's Day that we know, the bacchanalia,
the debauchery, whatever, what have you, very much just American.
I guess it's very low key in Ireland.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Just a regular day.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, just a regular day. Also, Leprechaun's not major thing
in Ireland.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
They're missing out.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
They're missing out. These guys are great, they got the gold.
They'll pinch you can't be in the in the era
of hr being a Leprechaun. Pretty tough. Yes, not a
lot of pinching going on.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yes, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I Andy Resmer, welcome back. It is Sunday, March sixteenth,
on this day before Saint Patrick's Day. It is two
twenty in the afternoon. Like I said, I'm Andy Reesmyer.
Thanks for being with us this wonderful Sunday afternoon. It's
beautiful outside. I don't blame you. If you would want
to maybe turn the radio off and go for a
walk or something like that, I'll tell you take one
of those crank radios. You got a portable radio, crank
(09:20):
it on up, go for a little walk. Saint Patrick's
Day is tomorrow. We've been celebrating pretty much all weekend.
You know, we'll do this thing at KTLA a little
bit where we walk around and ask some of our
Native Angelinos and honorary Angelino's what they think about what's
going on in the world. So we wanted to ask
everybody what brings them good luck, Irish or not ahead
of the Saint Patrick's Day for good luck. For good luck,
(09:44):
I never match my socks. The irony is there's probably
a lot of opportunities I've missed out on because people
don't take me seriously. Without matching socks. We can't think
of those things. What brings you good luck? Superstitious things
that you do for good luck all from Grandma.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I actually got this in the mail.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Your shoes when you take them off at home, you
have to have them upright and next to each other,
not like upside down.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
In my closet, my shoes always the right foot in
front of the left foot.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Anything you do.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
For good luck, not particularly.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I'm just kind of lucky, and I'm just naturally lucky.
I don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What do you do for good luck?
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I know you are about good luck?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, good luck, positive energy, all of that.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
She's got one eighteenth Irish. Hey, does that make you
feel lucky? No? You know lucky the Irish. Of course,
we're asking everybody what they do for good luck.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
What I do for good luck. I'm not a very
lucky person for good luck.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
I don't have good.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Luck, right. I forgot that when we did this prompt,
that we were asking news writers. No, I always hear
like the lucky underwear type of situation.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
You hear that like certain colors. I do have lucky underwear.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh, what does what?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I don't care this.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I wear it like if I have a big meeting
or something. What kind of meeting? Wait? What kind of meaning?
Kind of something?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
You gotta make it?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Tha, that's a photographer throwing end of a strawberry into
her the back of her pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I take a nap, take a little bit of a
longer nap. What is it with people napping?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Well, my name's Patrick, so I don't have to do
too much.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Always when I get gas, make sure it's an even number.
Believe it, at like thirty five twenty seven. It's got
to be thirty five, thirty five or thirty six even amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
That's the answers that we're looking for. Things you do
for good luck, Believe it or not. I carry crystals
in my pocket, Glenn Walker, so you actually, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Repurposed a KTLA COVID mask.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
To keep them all together. There's many in there. It's
like four or five they charged. I don't asked my wife.
Now that makes sense. This makes sense. Now I didn't
get it until now I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
All right.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I don't know what you did, but you're in the doghouse,
and now I hope you're out.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Got there?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You got?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
So?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
What makes you lucky? What do you do for luck?
What kind of superstitions do you have? You could give
us a call one eight hundred and five to oh
one KFI. The lines are open. One eight hundred and
five to oh one five three four, or you can
of course find us on the iHeartRadio app, look for
the microphone and then send us a message. We'll talk
about it. But joining us now a guest who needs
no luck because he's the proprietor of a San Fernando
(12:40):

guinness that is poored just right, celebrating Saint Patrick's day
every day it is. Will write from Ireland's thirty two
in Van Nuys. Will nice to talk to you on
this Sunday.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Thank you for having me on Andy. I do have
to just start off, not to start off this interview
on a on a correction, but it's my wife's my
my amazing wife is bar. You know, my wife, Megan.
I'm just, as I say, the free labor that comes
along with marriage. So but definitely, but definitely love helping
her out, especially at this time of year.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't want to get personal or anything like that,
but I believe in California you both own the bar.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
I don't know she's at it all. She's had a
long time before me. And you know, like I said,
I just I just came into it and I'm very
happy to help out in any way that we possibly can,
that I possibly can, and very proud of her and
the amazing community, that community that she's built with Ireland
thirty two and we love that going all the way
(13:43):
back to nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, it really is a community right there at Bourbank
Boulevard and Fulton. Is that right? Is it Bourbank and
Fulton or Woodman right over.

There Burbank and Woodman. Yeah, So tomorrow the line will
be out the door down Woodman, I tell you that much.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
What time do you open tomorrow? And have you had
a lot of practice this weekend?
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Yeah, we've been, Uh, we've been in full gears since honestly,
like Thursday, Thursday nights. Thursday night was a was a
great night. And as we say back in Ireland, lots
of crack ya.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
C r A I C Yeah. Can you explain that
to people? Because I I love this idea. I learned
about this from Van Morrison. There's a song where he's
talking about, uh, the crack is good and as a kid,
I thought that was a crazy thing to say. And
I learned that that certainly is not an epidemic that
we might know of it in America, c r A,
I K. What does that mean?
Speaker 8 (14:37):
It's just uh, it's it's just having a good time.
It's uh, you know, and definitely Ireland thirty two is
definitely one of those places where you can always be
sure to you know, have a great time, hopefully have
a couple of pints and have have roughing cassidy back
in the kitchen making you up a great, great meal,
whether that's a you know, corn beef and cabbage, a
(14:59):
corn beef sandwich, or you know, we even have great
steaks and chicken tenders and you know all the and
and also the traditional Irish food as well, like shepherd's
pie and and other things like that as well.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So when you say a guinness a guinness poured, right,
what does that mean?
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Well, we take very very uh a very big pride
in our in our guinness pores. You know, if you're
luckiat enough you may you may come in touch with
Alan Singleton who's been behind the bar here at Ireland
thirty two since nineteen ninety are and from from Ireland,
(15:35):
so directly from Ireland, learned how to pour again us
in Ireland and uh, you know, so it it it
has to you know, we take very very careful care
to the how the how the kegs are kept, how
the lines are kept, the right temperature is key and
then uh, you know, making sure that making sure that
it's poured out and and just the perfect pint and uh,
(15:58):
as we like to say, it's the best pint this
side of the Atlantic.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Ooh, I love I love that. So you've been going
all weekend. But like we said, tomorrow you start pretty early.
Last question for you, do you do anything for good luck?
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Well, I mean I just finished the marathon, you know,
so just finished the marathon, you know, so I definitely luckily,
luckily enough, my father in law who's actually in from Ireland,
a gentleman by the name of Seamus. He actually came
in from Ireland for to help us out at Ireland
(16:32):
thirty two. You know, he gave me a nice little
Irish shamrock for some luck this morning.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Needless to say, I wasn't I wasn't having to break
the course record, but I was very lucky to have
that little Irish shamrock with me as I ran the
twenty six point two miles.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Congratulations, what was your time? Last question? We'll get out
of here because I got to hit a news break
five point fifteen.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
So my first first marathon, first marathon, and I'll be
hopefully I won't be pouring too many gunnises tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Okay, well there you've earned You've earned them if you
want them there, So there he goes. We'll write from
Ireland's thirty two at thirteen seven twenty one Burbank Boulevard,
Valley Land, Van Nuys. If you know, you know, it's
a great classic bar, very few of those anymore in
the San Fernando Valley and just a really great little
a little institution there serving great meals. Like I said,
(17:26):
live music a perfect way to celebrate. If you're still
trying to figure out what you should do for Saint Patrick's.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Tape, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Let us go up to Big Bear, to the Big
Bear Valley. The Eagles. This is such a tough story.
People are talking about these eagles more and more. It's
been the conversation of every group chat that I am
a part of. It's been the sort of I don't
even want to say small talk. It's very serious talk
around the different tables that I have sat at over
(17:58):
the weekend a few days because one of the three
eaglets went missing sometime at the end of last week,
and then over the weekend, the Friends of Big Bear
Valley confirmed that one of the chicks did in fact die.
Joining us now, Sandy Steers, a spokesperson for the Friends
of Big Bear Valley, We've been so glued to this story, Sandy,
(18:19):
I want to ask how you're doing. Nobody watches more
than your group. How is everybody feeling right now?
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Well, of course everybody's sad, and it's hard to take
sometimes watching nature, but we have to let things happen
the way they happen, and that we're not sure what
happened with that eglet, but it got into It was
in the nest the whole time, but out of our
view because of the snow bank, and we don't know
(18:52):
what happened, why it decided to leave.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
When you say decided to leave, do you mean why
why it passed.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
Yeah, why it passed away. Yeah, that's just kind of
the way I look at it.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, I understand. There was a bunch of snow, it
was very cold. We obviously saw not a ton of
We couldn't see a lot. Then a couple days, a
couple when the sun I think came out yesterday. We
started our Friday morning maybe we looked and we saw
that there were only two two eglets in the nest,
and then now, what is happening? What has happened since then?
(19:30):
That sort of let you understand that, hey, we've confirmed
that this indeed the eagle did pass away.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
We were able to see it in the nest bowl
as the snow melted it. The bigger part of the
nest bowl was visible from the camera, and so we
were able to see the chick there.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And some of the things that friends of Big Bear
put out yesterday were attempts to knock down some of
the conspiracy theories or the I guess just theories that
were going around yesterday on the internet. Do you want
to reflect on some of those just so people stop
with the rumors.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, people were saying that that Jackie had knocked the
chick out of the nest when she was doing wing slaps,
and they were which didn't happen, obviously, and the chicks
were way too heavy and too big for that to
have happened at all, And they were saying the chick,
you know that Shadows stepped on the chick or it
got stuck on his foot, and it didn't The chick
(20:31):
was on the top of Shadow's foot when he was
sitting on the chicks, which they do often, and as
Shadow backed out, it just didn't hop off fast enough.
But it very quickly, you know, rolled back down with
the other chicks. And so none of those things were true.
But everybody was panicking, right And I.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Think that that's part of the story here, is that
everybody watches and we're so invested, and it's been a
couple weeks now of watching and waiting, and I think
when your life is sort of focused on this one
little frame, it's easy to become, I guess, panicked or paranoid,
and you want an explanation for everything. And obviously this
(21:10):
is unfortunately, just how the world works, and this is
how nature works. Three chicks, of course, one hatched later.
I'm understanding right now that we're not sure which is
the chick that passed away.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
We do not know for sure at all because of
the sizes that are very close, and you know, when
we see it, it's the same size as the other,
so it doesn't look like it's the smaller one and
we can't tell, you know, which one it might have been,
And it doesn't really matter. The two that are there
will continue, and they're being fed and they're thriving, sitting
(21:47):
in the sun, and because it's warm up here today,
so Jackie's letting them have a lot of sun and
dry out from all the storm and let the nest
dry out, and we just have to watch and see
what happens.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
So the weather really does have a big impact. I
know that generally when they're sitting under Mom or Dad
that they're okay. But when you're talking about freezing temperatures
blizzard like conditions, I know that in the past that
that has been difficult for Eglitz. Do you think that
might have had anything do with it weatherwise or like
you said, sort of we just will never know.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Yeah, we don't really know, but yes, the weather could
have had something to do with it. We don't know
if you know, one of them got out from under
Jackie or if it got wet, or we don't know,
you know, what might have happened. But all we see
is the result. And since it was out of sight
and it was night, we couldn't see what was happening underneath,
(22:45):
and what.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Will happen now with the chick that passed away?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Oh, we're not sure they did. Shadow did move it
out of up to the side instead of in the
middle of the nest. And we'll just have to wait
and see what happens from there. Sometimes it gets buried
under material, sometimes gets off the nest. You know, we'll
see what happens.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I can't really tell from the live stream I have
it up right now, really what's going on. But for
maybe parents out there who have kids and they've been watching,
do you have any advice for people so when they
should start looking again or if they shouldn't, or how
to sort of have those conversations with their kids.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yeah, I mean, the chicks are being fed, so it's
you know, but at the same time, the two chicks
are bunking each other. But that's what they do naturally,
is they they are competitive and it's part of the process.
And in the past, in this nest, it hasn't never
come to anything bad. Just you know, they are competing
(23:45):
for the food and attention and they if people have
trouble with their kids seeing some of this, sometimes sometimes
nature is hard to watch and they probably, you know,
can limit what they see, or they can scroll back
on you know, the parent can watch it first and
then scroll back and only show the kids the part
(24:06):
they want them.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Well, Sandy, thank you
for always keeping us updated on this. I'm so sorry
that you've had to answer all these questions a million
times over and over. And I'm sorry that you know,
we're obviously all invested, and I feel for you and
everybody over there over there at the Friends of Big
Bear Valley who are providing us with this information, but
also you know, are like all of us, invested in
(24:27):
this in a huge way. So we've still got two
healthy chicks. We'll keep watching. And thank you for your time.
Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon, and best of luck to
you out there there. She goes, thank you for Sandy Steers.
Really wonderful to hear from her. Like I said, Friends
of Big Bear Valley, incredible that they provide us with
this opportunity to learn about nature. And it's tough sometimes
(24:48):
when we see things not work out in the way
maybe that we wanted to. But like you said, two
other really healthy so far chicks there to be watching.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm Andy Reesmeyer with you on this Sunday afternoon, the
day before Saint Patrick's Day. We've been talking about Saint
Patrick's Day, celebrations, traditions, superstitions, call them what you want.
We're asking you what you do for luck. Like I
told you before, I'm a guy who's a little superstitious.
(25:26):
I don't let it get into the way of my life,
but I do wear mismatch socks, and I do fear
sometimes that my thought in that it would bring me
good luck may have limited my opportunities for success because
of people maybe looking at me and thinking this person
is not a serious person. He can't even match his
socks right, And to that, I would say, you are correct.
(25:49):
The number is one eight hundred five two oh one KFI.
We're asking what do you do for good luck? I
believe Richie, Producer Richie. We have some callers, is that correct? Correct?
Who do we have? First? We have Rita from Los Angeles.
Rita from Los Angeles, you're on the.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Air, Yes, Hello, Hello, Yeah, So we've all heard about
this on the news recently, and I'm here to inform
you guys in order to increase my luck or I
rather to refer to as blessings. I am the one
that kicked Rosie O'Donnell out of our country and sent
her back to Ireland.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
What wait, how did you do that? Where is she? What? What?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
I wanted?
Speaker 7 (26:31):
More blessings in my life? So yeah, I you know,
me and God made an arrangement.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
And yeah, oh is that you're like on a board
or anything like that that determined she would be no
longer eligible for citizenship or anything like that.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Yeah, I know everyone thinks it was her decision. I'm
the one that made sure that happen.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Do you have any specific interaction with her? Why? Why heard?
I'm so curious why Rosie?
Speaker 7 (26:59):
Uh? She against everything that's holy and good.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, well there you go. All right, thank you so
much for collin Rita. Uh, that's so, that's fascinating. That's
a very specific thing. It's powerful.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I know you better powerful.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
I thought it was the public's right to know, you
know the real reason behind that.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Me with Rita, I'm gonna make sure I'm not on
Rita's bad side.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Yeah, I got power. I got power if.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I ever start, if I ever do us a reboot
of the Flintstones and I play Pebble. Who did she
play in the in the Flintstones movie? Do you remember
she was in it? Right?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
She was in the Flintstones movie.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That's right, Barney's wife. We all know her name, but
we're not going to say it because why would we
Why would we give ourselves away if we said Barne name,
which we definitely know, right, Heather, right, Richie, right? Rom
And I know Wilma. Why can't I think of Barney
and Betty Rubble Bettie's.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I was like, sometimes we have to say them together.
That's a and that triggers the memory. Yes, Richie, we
have another calling.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Right we do? We have summer from Coast to mesa
summer you're on the air.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Hey, what do.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You do for luck?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
So every time I see a penny, I pick it up,
and whenever I see a fountain, I have to throw
a penny in it.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Oh yeah, that's a classic one. Yeah, Hillary Duff, Lizzie
McGuire vibes. Is that where that first came from? Recording?
That came to Ritchie is here on a workforce program
from his high school, I believe. Yeah, how old are you? Richie?
Actually a gay never says his age.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Okay, all right, he's a millennial.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Are you a millennial? I bet you're gen Z. I'm cusp.
You're cusping.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
There's a little if you said Hillary Duff, there's definitely
a little millennial.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
That is culture. That's a good point. That's a good point.
I didn't think about that. Yeah, gen z ers don't
understand what it was like to be around in the
era of Hillary Duff, Hannah Montana and Victorious. I'm trying
to think. I don't know that was really at the
end of it for me. But there you go. Well,
thank you for that. Now, now real quick question. If
you're still on the line when you see a penny,
doesn't matter which side is up, heads or tails.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
That's not I'm gonna say, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Some people say it does not for me.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Got it? And what kind of good luck do you
think that this has brought you in your life?
Speaker 6 (29:21):
People say that I win stuff all the time.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Hey, I'm lucky.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
What if you want lately? Like you gotta let us
in on.
Speaker 7 (29:29):

Speaker 7 (29:40):
Hm, Yes, I called in and I want a fifty
dollars gift card to Shaky's.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
That's huge. That's that'll get you somewhere at Shaky's. You know,
Shakey's is a good value a lot of places out here.
You got a fifty dollars gift card to Spago, I
mean no offense to Wolfgang Puck. I don't think he
needs any of our help. But that's barely uh a move.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, that's great. What what are you gonna get at Shaky's?
Speaker 7 (30:06):

Speaker 8 (30:07):
I like the you know, the bar singing all of it.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Oh yeah, Joe Potatoes pizza.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Ballad is a classic. You know, it's it's a rite
of passage for some people here for their birthdays to
go to Shaky.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
So some people don't even know what it is.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, I got the Mojo's it's Shaky that's right.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
Yeah, I haven't been in a really long time.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Well, I'm glad that because of mo Kelly and the
wonderful folks here at iHeart Radio America, you will be
able to go back to Shakey's. So thanks for calling.
Really appreciate that you can continue to call throughout the show.
One hundred five to oh one kf I. That's one
hundred five to zero one k f I. Or on
the iHeart radio app, Richie, how can they use that
(30:50):
talk back feature? So simple? So you go to the
iHeart Radio app and then you can hit that little
microphone thing and it allows you to speak for like
a few seconds, and you can just leave us a
message and I'll review it and well maybe put you
on the air. We will, don't say. Maybe we're gonna
make it past some wild callers. Yeah, we have a
long line of callers.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Colling is to tell us who else they kicked out
of the country. Serious, hey, listen, own it.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Let us know if you are responsible for kicking anybody
out of the country. This is going to be scared.
I don't want to let's not open.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Oh yeah, I vote, someone kicked me out of the country.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Robin.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Why the ones and twos? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
We need you, We need you, Robin, we do.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Robin's having a tough day because her her bike isn't
working too great. Can we get some of anyone to
come in and help her out with her bike?
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Free? Jay Leno available. Yeah, he knows all about motorcycles
and bikes and things like that, and I saw recently
a YouTube. Remember I think a couple of weeks I
was saying, you know that you just see celebrities everywhere,
but you can't count Jay Leno because it's like you
have to try not to see him roaming around. Yes,
like I saw him on a jet bike. And then
on social media I was watching the other day I
(32:03):
got served this up and I don't know if because
we were talking about it, but somebody has a video
of him heading down the street in a tank, just
parallel parking a tank, a World War two panzer. That
guy's got everything.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
He's even been here a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I know. Listen, I have we have a beautiful view here.
We can see a lot of the hills of Burbank
out the window here of the iHeart Studios, the Cafe
Studios in Burbank. I guarantee you I'm looking at Jay
Leno at the moment. I could see him out there.
Whether he's at Bob's on Riverside or he's over by
the garage, I don't know. But I love Jay Leno,
(32:41):
and I wonder what he does to be lucky, because
he's been certainly very lucky in his life. It's like,
where's Leno? You know that's right? Where's Leno? Is so good?
So wait a minute, though, Richie, here's the thing. And
I don't mean to blow you up here on the radio. No,
go ahead. I don't know when the segment is supposed
to end, because I just have forty two at the
end of this. So I got a few minutes. I
got a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, well's I say. I can tell you my lucky
stuff if you need.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, I would well, no, I just I would love
to hear from everybody. So, yeah, Heather, what do you
do for luck?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
So?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I have a two dollars bill that I have had
in my wallets since I was about fourteen years old
and I was given to be my great grandmother, and
that is my lucky two dollar bill. I've had it
for many, many years. And then I also, for some reason,
have a need to whenever I'm eating out or you know,
having food somewhere, I always like to keep the salt
(33:33):
and pepper shakers together. Oh yeah, I don't know what
that is if. I don't know if it's sort of
like I feel like it's going to bring good luck
while we're eating or you know, good luck and food,
but or if it's just good manners, I just keep
them together.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
All things are true. Some of the things that I
sort of found when we were doing this segment is
that good luck and OCD tendencies are very much a
circle of that. That Venn diagram is very much a circle.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
You can see.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
They're very similar to this same thing what one of
the photographers was talking about with the making sure that
you fill up your gas to the right number so
that the numbers make sense. So it's thirty two even,
or it's thirty two twenty three, or it's thirty two
thirty two.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
I always try to get it even.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
That's great. It never works, No, I do it like
on the spot, Like I don't like pre fill. So
it's like you have to kind of stop at a
certain time, and it's always like a second or two behind,
and then I have to add another ten dollars on there.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
But you also have to you never add the surcharge
of like, what is it like thirty eight.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Cents or something of forty eight cents?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Does that not show up on the Is that is
that different than I don't have it.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Doesn't show up?
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Oh you don't have it?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Or credit right.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
It literally asks you do you want to pay extra
for blah blah blah, and if you say no, it
doesn't It doesn't let.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
You know if you want to pay the cash price
or the credit card price.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Oh that's so interesting. I never understood what that was,
and I always say no, And then that makes maybe
that's why I've run out of gas a lot, Richie,
real quickly, what do you do for good luck? I
just lived my life. Yeah, Richie, that's not an answer,
but I will. That's fine. We'll move on, Robin. We
need some good luck for you for your bike.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I honestly, yes, I need to figure out what it is.
And I really like I already got a new starter
for it. Wasn't that And I'm just hoping, you know,
a bolt fill out or something and I just need
to replace that.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Now, Robin, are you riding this bike while it's broken?
Or are you? No?
Speaker 5 (35:26):
It won't even start.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
It won't start, No, it won't turn over. That's nice
that it's not letting you make a bad decision, which
is good. So there you go. All right, Well, Richie,
how do we do on eating up time? I think
we're great? Okay, we are, right on time. All right,
We've got so much more coming up in the next hour.
You don't want to go anywhere. Talking about the rise
and key cloners, how people are stealing cars in the
San Fernando Valley. Very not good times. Plus answering more
(35:51):
of your calls about what brings you good luck. And
guess what, Jay Leno, he's back in the news, not
in studio, but we can pray.
