Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm Andy Reestmeyer. You can find me on the internet
at Andy KTLA. You can also reach us on the
iHeartRadio app using the talkback feature. Just look for the
little white microphone, might be a red microphone, a white
button with a red microphone in it.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Click it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Leave up to thirty seconds of pithy, witty, sensational comments
and we'll put them on the show. I can't promise
that we'll get on a run like we did last
Monday about Sizzler, but we'll try. I also wanted to
see Nikki if with your permission, this might work, this
might not work, But I wanted to ask the good
(00:39):
people of southern California tonight. If you're not watching the
Dodger game, or you're not listening to the Dodgers on
KLAC seven ninety am, just down the hall here, what
are you doing this evening? Give us a call eight
hundred five two zero one, five to three four.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
They're probably watching the police chase.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Right Well, that's over now. I mean, I think they're
still pursuing guy. But we every broadcast organization, for the
most part, is gone. I don't think Kate col still
has it. Maybe they do. Ktla went home, as they say,
the chopper went home because of fog.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I can help you with this handy. It's the week
before Halloween and every self respecting patriot is at home
watching scary movies.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Oooh okay, that's a good answer.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We would love to hear from you, so, Nicky, if
we could open up those phone lines eight hundred five
two zero one five three four. That's one eight hundred
and five to two zero one KFI. Give us a call.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
We'll put you on the air for better or for worse.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Hey, I had a thing that I was thinking about
the other day. There's there's a panel that sits in
front of me. It's got the microphones. I can turn
on and off the computer. I can turn on and
turn up and down the speakers in the room. And
there's buttons that I can use to talk to Mark Ronner,
or I could talk to Tony or Nicky without anybody
else here. In what I'm saying, I think there's also
(01:59):
two of the buttons. One is called cough, the other
ones called dump. Are those so you push the cough
one when you have to cough? What is the other
one for dump. It means it literally will dump. You know,
it's a profanity dump, you know, because there's a little
runner delay, so that dumps in five second intervals.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
How long is that delay? What's sixty all together?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (02:23):
And fifty and five seconds each each press?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
So you you were under the impression that they were
both bodily function buttons only one of them is a
bodily function.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, it would be good if maybe they had some
training around here for that, because who knows what you're
I mean, it's a long show potentially.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The reason I was asking, though, is because I thought
that it might have something to the delay, and you know,
delays these days are tough when it comes to especially
watching live sports.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Has this ever happened to you?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
You're watching maybe the Dodger game tonight, but your group
chat with your friends or family members who are watching
it elsewhere, text you twenty seconds before you see what's happening,
because maybe you're on streaming, they're watching over the air
or on cable. Live is no longer live for everybody,
(03:13):
and ESPN Plus they've admitted it. ESPN Plus's ad breaks
are longer than what Airson broadcasts, so over the course
of a game, the extra seconds add up. ESPN says,
the app returns to the point of interruption quote unquote
after ads, but when those ads lag or take time
to load, just keeps pushing you further behind the action.
(03:37):
Just another thing that's confusing and hard to deal with
in this day and age of technology, we're no longer
on the same page quite literally, Tony'll help you with
your dumps, thanks, Tony. Well, I know that I can
do at least what is sixty seconds and five? So
how many dumps is that you can do?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Is he doing the math in his head? It's radio
Tony speak.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Ten, Well, it should be twelve, right, twelve? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
That was like gave me too much anxiety to try
to figure out that bottom of the eighth. By the way,
Toronto eleven Dodgers four grounded a left field Toronto just hit.
We have one blue Jay on a base in Game
one of the World Series here where the Dodgers did
not have a great showing right off the bat. Not great,
(04:33):
But we do want to know what you're doing. If
you're not watching the Dodger game, are you're not listening?
We've got a caller on the line. Is it Susannah
on KFI AM six forty?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Either, what are you doing tonight? If you're not watching
the game?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
I'm listening to kfive while it's spouted to catch up
on work today.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
That's correct.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I hope you put a Dodger's score.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
You just gave it.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
I appreciate.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Oh good.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So as someone who's not watching the Dodger game, you're
just you're interested in when things happen, but you don't
want to be glued to it.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Well, I don't have a TV at the moment. I
got it, and I'm working off my laptop and I
don't have all my streaming services on my baptop.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Well, what are you doing for work that you're catching
up on?
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I'm a legal assistant and I'm just I was working
on documents for a client, but I a friend stop
by to visit distracted me. So I want to get
it done because I already started it. So I want
to just finish it up before I have to restart
it another day.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, I'm setting a little East Coast accent. Are you
Are you calling from La?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
No, I'm calling from California. You call, I've lived out
here for since nineteen eighty eight, but I grew up
in New York City.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's a good you know, people, you don't fully ever
lose the accent, and I think especially East Coasters Midwesterners.
I still have a little bit of Chicago accent from
my parents. But I love it. I love that. But
since eighty eight, then so so. And you're doing some
legal work. Anything exciting going on in the legal work?
Are we suing anybody?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Fun?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
No, it's not litigation. It's securities and corporate law.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Woo. And it's a company? What's that?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
I want to start a company?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
No, doesn't sound like that's a good idea for me.
I can barely do math. I can hardly divide twelve
into five. So I don't know that starting a company
is in my is in my future.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
But I do like that. I mean, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Friday night, eight o'clock working hard, that's a that's a
serious week.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Well I wasn't doing that at one pm, so I
have to catch.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Up there, you go?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Well, thankfully I have flexibility where as long as I
get it done within a reasonable time whatever hours. Right,
you know, I can pick you know, something comes up
in the middle of the day, I get to revisit
what I was working on later on right, listen to
KFI every day, and so my habitance to listen to it.
(07:05):
I could listen to it my phone, my computer.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
This is great.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't have to Hey, Donty kill the promos. We
don't need him anymore, Okay, Susanna, thank.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
You so much.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Thank you so much for calling Who's your what's your
favorite show?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You in the morning to l oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Thank you, thank you. I'm so tired.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
You should be.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I appreciate it. S is Anna, thank you so much
for calling this evening on KF five. How about that?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
How great?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Love it Love hearing what people are up to somewhere
out there working on legal papers instead of listening to
the game or watching it on a streaming service.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I like when you ask a listener what they're doing
and they say, listening to the radio.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Hey, I mean that that's you know, back in the day,
it used to be people would gather around and listen
to the radio.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah. But like, if you ever used to read old
Mad magazine, there was a segment called snappy Answers to
stupid questions, Oh you think that was an You know,
you'd have a reporter asking an old guy in bed
to what do you owe your long life? And the
guy would say to the fact that I haven't died yet,
and so this is that kind of answer.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't know. I appreciate that. I think it's great,
you know. And I love the longtime listeners. I count
myself as a longtime KFI listener.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
A P one? Are you a P one?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I think?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So? What does that mean? Just somebody who listens all
the time. Has the radio out of the station keeping
company from morning tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Definitely, it's on in the car, it's on at home, Tony,
you can use this for the promo.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
KFI. There's always something interesting, nice work. Do you like
that one? Should I hit it, I'll do a different voice,
so maybe you can use it. KFI. There's always something interesting.
That should be enough, all right? Yeah, that'll fool everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, great, coming up lots more in the show We've
got You'll never believe what Southern California city makes the
most money on parking tickets. It's a tiny city and
they make more money than any other town in SoCal
On parking tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You thought that the Italian Mafia wasn't a thing anymore,
but here you are with all these crime family names
like a Scorsese movie.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
What a trip.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's KIM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
I'm Andy Reesmeyer. You can find me at Andy KTLA.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Game one.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Of the World Series. Not wonderful. Not a great day
here for a Dodger eleven to four. It may be
over where you're listening. I know we have a minute delay.
I guess ibody hit the dumb button enough, it'll go
up to It'll be a real time. Anybody figured that
(09:51):
one out yet?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Probably not. But we've got Otani.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
On a base, first base, Bookie bets up to bat,
two outs, top of the ninth, no strikes for Mookie
yet he has one ball.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Kind of a tough night.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And I think what's interesting is if you look on
the internet, especially, there's a lot of conversation. You always
see the confidence that Dodger fans have.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Who would blame him?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And we've got a really great team obviously won the
World Series last year.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Pretty darn good.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Team, and coming into this game, some people on the
internet saying, whoa Dodgers and six. Maybe obviously the game
is not over yet, but they have to do a
lot here, we got one out before the game is over.
Mookie bats, like I said, up to bat, and then
some people say, wow, is Toronto really that good of
a team? Were they a fluke? And it's like, no,
(10:50):
obviously they're in the finals. I think leading up to
maybe Game four of the Seattle Toronto series, I think
that David Pingler was saying, look, Dodgers want to play Seattle.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Mariners are an easier team.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
To beat than the Blue Jays, And here we are
now playing the Blue Jays. First game momentum definitely with
the Blue Jays in Toronto. Maybe things will be different
next game. Maybe by the time the Boys in Blue
will get back to Dodger Stadium, the magic of a
(11:31):
Chavez ravine will be revealed. But right now, not looking
super great. There oh Tani on the first base right
now with two outs, one out remaining potentially here and
Mookie is still up to bat. One strike, two strikes,
now two balls Dodgers four, Toronto eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yikes. Tough stuff. Not my favorite.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know at least that like, things will be relatively
quiet here after the game. You know, there won't be
that that much celebration or craziness. But of course one
of the things that everybody's doing, it's a cute thing
I think that local news will do when they send
back and forth wagers and threats. We had a city
(12:24):
news morning show on the KTLA Morning News and they said, Okay,
if KTLA will have to get more, we'll have to
get the city news people some poutine or something like that.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You guys ever had poutine? Oh yeah, it's good.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
You like it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You should just eat it in a hospital bed because
it's like cheese, gravy fries not not a health food.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I'm no, you don't like it, Nikki, I don't like gravy. Yeah, messy,
It's just yucky.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Why do you hate America?
Speaker 7 (12:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
No, I love America. I don't like Canada.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
America is all about gravy.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Gravy is not something we had in Australia, not in
my household anyway.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Well, what do you use for food? Lube down there
on that criminal island or snake sweat?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Tomato sauce?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Tomato sauce that that pronunciation renders your whole argument invalid.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, that's pretty wild all of it.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Mustard is good too.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Tomato sauce and mustard.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, I'm not buying it.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Tradish horse radish.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, what's like a big Australian like dish that's specific
to Australia meat pies?
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Got it? And what's big food? What is the meat?
And please don't say kangaroo?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Well they actually we do eat a lot of kangaroo
down there town. Pest they're cute, they are very cute.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
They're considered a pest. Yeah, they're a pest and they
can box.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
That's not true. They're sweet, like I've tried to, like
I've chased after them in the outback or the wilderness
and they just hop away. They don't care. But if
you're in like a country town, they're really docile and
they hang out in people's front lawns and you can,
you know, pat them and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And yet you guys consider them pasts then take them
in and eat them. Yeah, okay, we have pasts in
America as well, like crickets and rats. What are their pests, rodents,
et cetera. We don't eat those.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Do you eat squirrels. No, squirrels are cute.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Yeah, so cute?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, great, I don't understand to eating the kangaroo.
That seems pretty rough. How do they prepare it? Is
it like in a burger? Is it ground?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Is it? Is it like?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I've never eaten it personally because I'm a vegetarian. But
apparently it's like venison. It's tricky because it can be tough,
so you have to be good.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yeah, they don't seem people barbecue.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
They have steaks, and you can go to Thai restaurants
and have like thaigh food, but it's kangaroo instead of
chicken or beef.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I mean, I'm not here to yuck. Anybody's young.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
By the way, Dodgers final final score eleven or four
Blue Jays Dodgers. But that seems that seems like you
wouldn't want. When I look at that animal, that doesn't
look like a delicious animal. It looks very sinewy. It
looks very muscular and athletic.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
That's why it's hard to know you can get very
tough like that venison.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, are there any Are there any like wagu kangaroo
out there?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I don't know. But we also eat crocodile down there,
crocodile steak and wichity grubs, which is like big worms.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Everything that you say sounds made up.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I sound like an eni witchity grubs.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's like like if oh man, I don't even know.
All right, well, we are way out of time here.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
My fellow Angelino's nice to see all you. Mark Ronner
with us on the ones and twos, Tony also with
us on the threes and fours, and then I believe
Nikki running it out on the fives and the sixes.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Do you Angelino's things still kind of sticking in your cries? Isn't?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
It's just so silly.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I did a segment six months to eight six to
eight months ago probably about when one becomes an Angelino
and what was the answer?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
You know, it depends on who you talk to.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
But then I do like Conway's version of this, which
is that no one is actually saying Angelina.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Well, it's not like that sketch where you walk into
a group of people and say, why hello, fellow Angelino's.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
How are you too? Yes, hello, fellow you their.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Context where it doesn't sound like that I'm still looking
for it because I kind of agree with him, which
is like, you know, the reality is there's some subtext here.
I will never be an Angelino for real, because I'm
not from here.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
You got to be born here.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Oh I don't agree with that at all, Angelina. That's
what I was telling them. They told me no. I
said yes. But again, I'm a transplant, so what do
I know. I love the city, As I told you Ron,
when I first moved here, I decided to be such
a homer for La that I did not get a GPS.
I tried to learn as many streets that I could.
There was a time. This is so lame. This is
(17:04):
what young men in their twenties end up doing because
they have no friends.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
One of the things I tried to memorize the whate
hundred block of Sunset Boulevard. It was from the ocean
to downtown LA. And for a while, if you could
have said something like if you said like eighty nine
hundred Sunset sam Vasini Dohini, maybe nine thousand is Doheini?
(17:32):
I think eighty nine I think is in between there.
But I could do this, and like a psychopath, I
got into this city in a way that you know
may have been unhealthy.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
But I do love it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And anybody who has anything bad to say about it, well,
they got to come through me first.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's more like it.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
If you'd like to say, hello, eight hundred five to
two zero one five three four is the number. That's
one eight hundred five two zero one KFI. We're taking calls,
put them on the radio, seeing what you were doing
tonight instead of listening to the Dodger game or watching it.
And if your answer is listening to KFI, that's a
pretty good answer. I don't care what Ronner says bringing on.
(18:11):
One of the things I think that's fascinating also is
we do a lot of stories about gen z things
that are changing for the youth, and I'm at that point.
I'm almost forty. A couple of years from now will
be forty, and so I've seen the sort of era
of all culture being for young people. I was the demo,
as they said, I was a millennial. I am a millennial,
(18:33):
but I was a millennial when it felt like it
was a good thing, which was about three or four minutes.
Millennials are great because we're hated by boomers and gen Z.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Excuse me, what about gen X?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
I think X hates you too, but they hate us. Yeah,
are you gen X? I don't think I think you're
a boomer from I think you're a boomer. No, but
I think you're actually a millennial.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Technically it was nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Eighty is the cutoff? You're right, you are, jen X.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Well, either way, I now know what it's like to
sort of be on the other side of that because millennials,
you know, for all of the attention they were getting,
much of it negative, are pretty much nothingness. Now they've
sort of moved into the era of no one talks
about that. There's no longer think pieces on the Atlantic
about gen Z or gen X, rather, oh my god,
(19:24):
gen why millennials brain dead? Gen Z wishes though, that
it was the year two thousand that was kind of
my heyday. Fortune dot Com says, if you walk down
the streets of New York or London, it feels a
lot like stepping onto a set of a late nineties
music video, because the kids are wearing baggy jeans, they
got butterfly clips in their hair, cropped Halter tops and
(19:47):
flip phones. You know, for as much as gen Z
hates millennials, they certainly seem to want to be us.
The resurgence rather goes deeper than nostalgia. Gen Z is
weary of hyper polished esthetics and moral rigidity that define
the twenty tens. Brands like Juicy Couture, Baby Fat, Von
(20:12):
Dutch making comebacks. Maximalist no longer minimalist. We're talking about
over the top rhinestones, glossy lips, spiky hair. Ooh, I
wonder if the frosted tips are coming back.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Please know.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I'm ready. I'm going gray, so for me it'll just
be automatic. I'm there already. Yeah, you and me both
we have natural frosted tips.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, I don't need extra.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
The chor aesthetic doesn't have to say anything profound, but
fortune warns that there's a dark side against the suddenly
middle aged, passe millennials. They say that it's a rebellion
from gen Z against this hyper where woke culture from
(21:02):
my generation, and brands, whether it's Cracker Barrel or American
American Eagle rather which were kind of two sides of
the same coin, found themselves either on the horns of
an anti woke backlash or backlash or riding the back
of the bull as it charges forward. I love when
people talk about things that are I mean, admittedly important
(21:22):
from a money making perspective, but like relatively speaking, meaningless
but in very smart ways. Gen Z is getting this
fatigue with performative wokeness that millennials, I think fairly can
be criticized for engaging in that social media activism where
identity politics is all that you are. It's just about
(21:46):
how can I tell anybody what I think about the
world but not actually do anything about it. I remember
this when I first started working in journalism. This was
probably fifteen years ago. Occupy Wall Street, and it was
the groundswell people who are my age, and they really
wanted to do something. I think they saw a lot
of their parents in the sixties and they said activism
(22:06):
is important. Civil rights was really important in the sixties,
no doubt they wanted to be a part of that,
but they didn't really know how or why. And I
remember it was so hard to write about Occupy because
it wasn't like they wanted anything in particular. They wanted everything,
but it was not really clear. There wasn't a leader,
(22:27):
and this continued throughout much of the twenty tens. And
just like anything, a younger generation looks at the generation
just above them, just older than them, and says, wow,
that is cringe. I'm going to rebel against that. So now,
if you look at comedy, nightlife, dating culture, political correctness
(22:49):
is I guess, according to this article no longer a thing.
Podcasts are celebrating being cringe again. If your hypersense, you're
going to be hyper made fun of. And Fortune says
that's a bad thing because when you reject a lot
(23:12):
of the sort of performative wokeness, there's a chance, which
I get, that you go real hard into the I
don't know, racist, anti semitic, violent messages. Maybe people start
sympathizing with people who are not good. It's weird because
(23:35):
never before in my life have I heard people use
the R word more than like in the last year.
I was having dinner with a couple of friends who
a teacher at a private school in Los Angeles, and
he was telling us that the kids, and these are
like young kids like Jen Alpha.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
The kids are crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
About what they think and what they say, and it's
like they've completely gone to the opposite direction, which I
guess is not a surprise, because anybody who is one
way too much, you're gonna have a backlash and go
the other direction. But he said, these kids say these
things that makes you think that what are the Archie
Bunker wild fascinating.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Coming up? Classic cars?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
It might not be boomers behind the wheel of those
old corvettes, those old Lambos. Somebody else will tell you who.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Good evening on this night where I know the Dodgers
are not winners in Game one of the World Series,
but everybody is a winner here on KFI, especially.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
If you call in.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We've been talking about what you did tonight instead of
listening to or watching the Dodger game. Checking in with Paul.
You're live on CAFI. What were you doing this? Even Sarah?
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Well in a Dodger game, of course, and a little
bit disappointing. But I think uh La got a little
overconfident in what the Blue Jays are doing. I mean,
their last place last year, and they got momentum and
they got mojo and they were sicking ass. That was great.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, they look like a real team. That means business,
and I have not seen the Dodgers look so sort
of down trodden in a while.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agreed. I think it's over
confidence and uh, you know, they got they got the
mojo going on right now with the blue data. I mean,
I'm definitely a Dodger fan.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
What what what do you think that the Dodgers have
to do in game two to sort of reset the
clock here?
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Oh, they got to be more aggressive. They've got to
really play their game, you know, I think you know,
everybody has a place in the game, you know, m
VP's and all that, and they got to just come
back and just play the game, you know, and do
it with confidence. They're not over confidence, but they just
got to play the game.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Do you think it was a bad play to poutine?
Was that possible?
Speaker 8 (26:15):
I'm sorry? What was that?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Do you think that it could have been a bad
plate of poutine? Do you think that that could have been?
What happened? They they got to they got to Canada,
they got to play to poutine, you know, which is
the fries. That's what they eat up there. It's fries
and gravy and cheese and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
I didn't know that sounds great. I'm hungry right now,
give me something.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, well, you.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Know, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
I'm always gonna say that. I think they're over confident.
And you gots talking about La. I mean, Elatt, the
great town. I mean, I've lived, I grew up. You know.
My parents moved here in this when I was one
year old in nineteen sixty. I'm sixty six right now.
It's a great town, but you know, I moved out
of it, and I've lived out of lived in the
nord of California and Eureka, Stanta Barbara. And there are
(27:00):
so many beautiful places in this town. You know, to
the youngsters out there, it's like move around, check out places.
Only how's gems in this town. But there are so
many beautiful places. I think I don't want to overrate
LA because it's the beautiful country and then you should
check out everything.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, I think you're right, you know, and I think
the Central Coast doesn't get enough, doesn't get enough love.
So I'm glad that you said that, but I agree
with you. You know, La, I'm thankful for I have
a career because of Los Angeles. I like I guess,
you know, I came here to make something of myself,
and I'm at least employed, so I feel good about that.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
But yeah, and you have and and you know, good
for you guys. And Mark and that girl with that
sweet voice that's new to the station, you know, you know,
Michael probably twenty twenty five. Yeah, yeah, she's hot.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Who's it?
Speaker 8 (27:48):
Their voice is hot?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
On KFI? Who's the who's the new voice? Are you
talking about? Mark Roder? I don't know, oh on our show?
Speaker 8 (27:55):
Well Mark, yeah, no, no, I don't go that way.
But the girl.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Is really like Wow, Nicky, Wow, look at that. You
got a wow?
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Yeah? Yeah, you know, your mind goes crazy places, so
kind Well, let's keep drinking.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
And yeah, sure, well I'll tell you what, keep keep listening. Then,
thank you so much for calling, mister Paul. Appreciate you
very much.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Go Dodgers. And there he goes. How about that? I
was just starting to get interesting. Why do you let
him go?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Well?
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I didn't, Nicky didn't jump in, so I didn't know
if she was.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
I wasn't sure if if it would be a good idea.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, he said he had been drinking, and I think
as soon as you start hearing that, it's like, oh man.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
That's what's got my attention. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I know, I was like I would if we were
on the internet, I'd go for it. But I'm only
a I'm an interloper here, you know.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
I mean, I'm a guest here, so I don't I
I'm not sure I want to push it that far.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
We've got.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Who else we have on the line here. We've got
Paul still there. Looks like that's cool. Paul, Hi, Paul,

lady there, the aunty girl has a wow smoking and
I'm not drunk.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Okay, Hey, listen, I I respect it. I appreciate it.
She's got a cool voice. I don't disagree with you.
What else are you up to on this Friday night?
Now that the Dodgers had an unfortunate showing, all was.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
A little bummed out for two seconds, but I got
over it. But you were talking about Joheeney and anybody
that's a transplant to La. I'm gonna tell you Sam
Vicente gets really weird, really fat. Yeah, like Sam is
on Beverly Hills. You'll be in Beverly Hills and like

Los Angeles, that's very funny. Max, thank you for being
on the show. Here, We've got one more caller before
we go to break. Here, Gary, you're on KFI on
this Friday night.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Yeah. I was just telling the young lady with a
nice accent that I couldn't watch a game or listen
to KFI because I'm the tech teacher out of high
school here in Riverside, and we had a high school
performance of a show that.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
We were doing.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Hey, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
What was the show?
Speaker 7 (30:47):
Good time?
Speaker 8 (30:48):
It's a it's a show called Trap.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I'll throw a plug out.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
There if you let me sure, I mean, hey, why not.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Arlington High School in Riverside, and the play is Trap
tomorrow night, six thirty. You know you want to know
a secret.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You got to check it out.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Oo.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Can you give us any more insight about what it
actually is about or.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
What to expect.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Well, I'm what I call the fireman. I sit in
the back, and you know, if the MIC's blow up
or breaks, I get up and fix it. So I'm
not in the audience watching it. But it's a play
where it just start falling unconscious.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Oh man.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
And it's one of those things where you think you
know what's going on and then you don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
But you know, I'll gain.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
It's one of those things that keeper having fun.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Yeah, how fun? More? One more time? The name of
the production and where you can find it.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
The name of the show is Trap, and it's at
Arlington High School in Riverside, California. Probably no one's going
to fly from out of state, but curtain opens in
six thirty.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Who's to say? And you can fly into Ontario and
be real close there. I guess you were flying in.

I'll be doing Sunday from two to four for sure,
and then every once in a while Monday and Friday.
So thank you so much for Colin. I appreciate you,
and we'll see you out there there he goes, Gary,
very good. We've got so much coming up, including Eric
Spilman off the top to talk about that tough game
(32:24):
with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Since KIM six forty, we're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (32:28):
App, KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm Andy Reestmeyer. You can find me on the internet
at Andy KTLA. You can also reach us on the
iHeartRadio app using the talkback feature. Just look for the
little white microphone, might be a red microphone, a white
button with a red microphone in it.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Click it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Leave up to thirty seconds of pithy, witty, sensational comments
and we'll put them on the show. I can't promise
that we'll get on a run like we did last
Monday about Sizzler, but we'll try. I also wanted to
see Nikki if with your permission, this might work, this
might not work, But I wanted to ask the good
(00:39):
people of southern California tonight. If you're not watching the
Dodger game, or you're not listening to the Dodgers on
KLAC seven ninety am, just down the hall here, what
are you doing this evening? Give us a call eight
hundred five two zero one, five to three four.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
They're probably watching the police chase.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Right Well, that's over now. I mean, I think they're
still pursuing guy. But we every broadcast organization, for the
most part, is gone. I don't think Kate col still
has it. Maybe they do. Ktla went home, as they say,
the chopper went home because of fog.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I can help you with this handy. It's the week
before Halloween and every self respecting patriot is at home
watching scary movies.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Oooh okay, that's a good answer.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We would love to hear from you, so, Nicky, if
we could open up those phone lines eight hundred five
two zero one five three four. That's one eight hundred
and five to two zero one KFI. Give us a call.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
We'll put you on the air for better or for worse.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Hey, I had a thing that I was thinking about
the other day. There's there's a panel that sits in
front of me. It's got the microphones. I can turn
on and off the computer. I can turn on and
turn up and down the speakers in the room. And
there's buttons that I can use to talk to Mark Ronner,
or I could talk to Tony or Nicky without anybody
else here. In what I'm saying, I think there's also
(01:59):
two of the buttons. One is called cough, the other
ones called dump. Are those so you push the cough
one when you have to cough? What is the other
one for dump. It means it literally will dump. You know,
it's a profanity dump, you know, because there's a little
runner delay, so that dumps in five second intervals.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
How long is that delay? What's sixty all together?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (02:23):
And fifty and five seconds each each press?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
So you you were under the impression that they were
both bodily function buttons only one of them is a
bodily function.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, it would be good if maybe they had some
training around here for that, because who knows what you're
I mean, it's a long show potentially.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The reason I was asking, though, is because I thought
that it might have something to the delay, and you know,
delays these days are tough when it comes to especially
watching live sports.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Has this ever happened to you?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
You're watching maybe the Dodger game tonight, but your group
chat with your friends or family members who are watching
it elsewhere, text you twenty seconds before you see what's happening,
because maybe you're on streaming, they're watching over the air
or on cable. Live is no longer live for everybody,
(03:13):
and ESPN Plus they've admitted it. ESPN Plus's ad breaks
are longer than what Airson broadcasts, so over the course
of a game, the extra seconds add up. ESPN says,
the app returns to the point of interruption quote unquote
after ads, but when those ads lag or take time
to load, just keeps pushing you further behind the action.
(03:37):
Just another thing that's confusing and hard to deal with
in this day and age of technology, we're no longer
on the same page quite literally, Tony'll help you with
your dumps, thanks, Tony. Well, I know that I can
do at least what is sixty seconds and five? So
how many dumps is that you can do?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Is he doing the math in his head? It's radio
Tony speak.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Ten, Well, it should be twelve, right, twelve? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
That was like gave me too much anxiety to try
to figure out that bottom of the eighth. By the way,
Toronto eleven Dodgers four grounded a left field Toronto just hit.
We have one blue Jay on a base in Game
one of the World Series here where the Dodgers did
not have a great showing right off the bat. Not great,
(04:33):
But we do want to know what you're doing. If
you're not watching the Dodger game, are you're not listening?
We've got a caller on the line. Is it Susannah
on KFI AM six forty?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Either, what are you doing tonight? If you're not watching
the game?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
I'm listening to kfive while it's spouted to catch up
on work today.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
That's correct.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I hope you put a Dodger's score.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
You just gave it.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
I appreciate.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Oh good.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So as someone who's not watching the Dodger game, you're
just you're interested in when things happen, but you don't
want to be glued to it.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Well, I don't have a TV at the moment. I
got it, and I'm working off my laptop and I
don't have all my streaming services on my baptop.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Well, what are you doing for work that you're catching
up on?
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I'm a legal assistant and I'm just I was working
on documents for a client, but I a friend stop
by to visit distracted me. So I want to get
it done because I already started it. So I want
to just finish it up before I have to restart
it another day.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, I'm setting a little East Coast accent. Are you
Are you calling from La?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
No, I'm calling from California. You call, I've lived out
here for since nineteen eighty eight, but I grew up
in New York City.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's a good you know, people, you don't fully ever
lose the accent, and I think especially East Coasters Midwesterners.
I still have a little bit of Chicago accent from
my parents. But I love it. I love that. But
since eighty eight, then so so. And you're doing some
legal work. Anything exciting going on in the legal work?
Are we suing anybody?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Fun?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
No, it's not litigation. It's securities and corporate law.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Woo. And it's a company? What's that?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
I want to start a company?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
No, doesn't sound like that's a good idea for me.
I can barely do math. I can hardly divide twelve
into five. So I don't know that starting a company
is in my is in my future.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
But I do like that. I mean, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Friday night, eight o'clock working hard, that's a that's a
serious week.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Well I wasn't doing that at one pm, so I
have to catch.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Up there, you go?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Well, thankfully I have flexibility where as long as I
get it done within a reasonable time whatever hours. Right,
you know, I can pick you know, something comes up
in the middle of the day, I get to revisit
what I was working on later on right, listen to
KFI every day, and so my habitance to listen to it.
(07:05):
I could listen to it my phone, my computer.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
This is great.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't have to Hey, Donty kill the promos. We
don't need him anymore, Okay, Susanna, thank.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
You so much.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Thank you so much for calling Who's your what's your
favorite show?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You in the morning to l oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Thank you, thank you. I'm so tired.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
You should be.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I appreciate it. S is Anna, thank you so much
for calling this evening on KF five. How about that?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
How great?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Love it Love hearing what people are up to somewhere
out there working on legal papers instead of listening to
the game or watching it on a streaming service.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I like when you ask a listener what they're doing
and they say, listening to the radio.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Hey, I mean that that's you know, back in the day,
it used to be people would gather around and listen
to the radio.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah. But like, if you ever used to read old
Mad magazine, there was a segment called snappy Answers to
stupid questions, Oh you think that was an You know,
you'd have a reporter asking an old guy in bed
to what do you owe your long life? And the
guy would say to the fact that I haven't died yet,
and so this is that kind of answer.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't know. I appreciate that. I think it's great,
you know. And I love the longtime listeners. I count
myself as a longtime KFI listener.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
A P one? Are you a P one?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I think?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So? What does that mean? Just somebody who listens all
the time. Has the radio out of the station keeping
company from morning tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Definitely, it's on in the car, it's on at home, Tony,
you can use this for the promo.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
KFI. There's always something interesting, nice work. Do you like
that one? Should I hit it, I'll do a different voice,
so maybe you can use it. KFI. There's always something interesting.
That should be enough, all right? Yeah, that'll fool everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, great, coming up lots more in the show We've
got You'll never believe what Southern California city makes the
most money on parking tickets. It's a tiny city and
they make more money than any other town in SoCal
On parking tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You thought that the Italian Mafia wasn't a thing anymore,
but here you are with all these crime family names
like a Scorsese movie.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
What a trip.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's KIM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
I'm Andy Reesmeyer. You can find me at Andy KTLA.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Game one.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Of the World Series. Not wonderful. Not a great day
here for a Dodger eleven to four. It may be
over where you're listening. I know we have a minute delay.
I guess ibody hit the dumb button enough, it'll go
up to It'll be a real time. Anybody figured that
(09:51):
one out yet?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Probably not. But we've got Otani.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
On a base, first base, Bookie bets up to bat,
two outs, top of the ninth, no strikes for Mookie
yet he has one ball.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Kind of a tough night.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And I think what's interesting is if you look on
the internet, especially, there's a lot of conversation. You always
see the confidence that Dodger fans have.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Who would blame him?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And we've got a really great team obviously won the
World Series last year.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Pretty darn good.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Team, and coming into this game, some people on the
internet saying, whoa Dodgers and six. Maybe obviously the game
is not over yet, but they have to do a
lot here, we got one out before the game is over.
Mookie bats, like I said, up to bat, and then
some people say, wow, is Toronto really that good of
a team? Were they a fluke? And it's like, no,
(10:50):
obviously they're in the finals. I think leading up to
maybe Game four of the Seattle Toronto series, I think
that David Pingler was saying, look, Dodgers want to play Seattle.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Mariners are an easier team.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
To beat than the Blue Jays, And here we are
now playing the Blue Jays. First game momentum definitely with
the Blue Jays in Toronto. Maybe things will be different
next game. Maybe by the time the Boys in Blue
will get back to Dodger Stadium, the magic of a
(11:31):
Chavez ravine will be revealed. But right now, not looking
super great. There oh Tani on the first base right
now with two outs, one out remaining potentially here and
Mookie is still up to bat. One strike, two strikes,
now two balls Dodgers four, Toronto eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yikes. Tough stuff. Not my favorite.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know at least that like, things will be relatively
quiet here after the game. You know, there won't be
that that much celebration or craziness. But of course one
of the things that everybody's doing, it's a cute thing
I think that local news will do when they send
back and forth wagers and threats. We had a city
(12:24):
news morning show on the KTLA Morning News and they said, Okay,
if KTLA will have to get more, we'll have to
get the city news people some poutine or something like that.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You guys ever had poutine? Oh yeah, it's good.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
You like it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You should just eat it in a hospital bed because
it's like cheese, gravy fries not not a health food.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I'm no, you don't like it, Nikki, I don't like gravy. Yeah, messy,
It's just yucky.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Why do you hate America?
Speaker 7 (12:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
No, I love America. I don't like Canada.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
America is all about gravy.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Gravy is not something we had in Australia, not in
my household anyway.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Well, what do you use for food? Lube down there
on that criminal island or snake sweat?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Tomato sauce?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Tomato sauce that that pronunciation renders your whole argument invalid.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, that's pretty wild all of it.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Mustard is good too.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Tomato sauce and mustard.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, I'm not buying it.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Tradish horse radish.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, what's like a big Australian like dish that's specific
to Australia meat pies?
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Got it? And what's big food? What is the meat?
And please don't say kangaroo?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Well they actually we do eat a lot of kangaroo
down there town. Pest they're cute, they are very cute.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
They're considered a pest. Yeah, they're a pest and they
can box.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
That's not true. They're sweet, like I've tried to, like
I've chased after them in the outback or the wilderness
and they just hop away. They don't care. But if
you're in like a country town, they're really docile and
they hang out in people's front lawns and you can,
you know, pat them and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And yet you guys consider them pasts then take them
in and eat them. Yeah, okay, we have pasts in
America as well, like crickets and rats. What are their pests, rodents,
et cetera. We don't eat those.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Do you eat squirrels. No, squirrels are cute.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Yeah, so cute?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, great, I don't understand to eating the kangaroo.
That seems pretty rough. How do they prepare it? Is
it like in a burger? Is it ground?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Is it? Is it like?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I've never eaten it personally because I'm a vegetarian. But
apparently it's like venison. It's tricky because it can be tough,
so you have to be good.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yeah, they don't seem people barbecue.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
They have steaks, and you can go to Thai restaurants
and have like thaigh food, but it's kangaroo instead of
chicken or beef.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I mean, I'm not here to yuck. Anybody's young.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
By the way, Dodgers final final score eleven or four
Blue Jays Dodgers. But that seems that seems like you
wouldn't want. When I look at that animal, that doesn't
look like a delicious animal. It looks very sinewy. It
looks very muscular and athletic.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
That's why it's hard to know you can get very
tough like that venison.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, are there any Are there any like wagu kangaroo
out there?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I don't know. But we also eat crocodile down there,
crocodile steak and wichity grubs, which is like big worms.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Everything that you say sounds made up.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I sound like an eni witchity grubs.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's like like if oh man, I don't even know.
All right, well, we are way out of time here.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
My fellow Angelino's nice to see all you. Mark Ronner
with us on the ones and twos, Tony also with
us on the threes and fours, and then I believe
Nikki running it out on the fives and the sixes.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Do you Angelino's things still kind of sticking in your cries? Isn't?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
It's just so silly.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I did a segment six months to eight six to
eight months ago probably about when one becomes an Angelino
and what was the answer?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
You know, it depends on who you talk to.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
But then I do like Conway's version of this, which
is that no one is actually saying Angelina.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Well, it's not like that sketch where you walk into
a group of people and say, why hello, fellow Angelino's.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
How are you too? Yes, hello, fellow you their.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Context where it doesn't sound like that I'm still looking
for it because I kind of agree with him, which
is like, you know, the reality is there's some subtext here.
I will never be an Angelino for real, because I'm
not from here.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
You got to be born here.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Oh I don't agree with that at all, Angelina. That's
what I was telling them. They told me no. I
said yes. But again, I'm a transplant, so what do
I know. I love the city, As I told you Ron,
when I first moved here, I decided to be such
a homer for La that I did not get a GPS.
I tried to learn as many streets that I could.
There was a time. This is so lame. This is
(17:04):
what young men in their twenties end up doing because
they have no friends.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
One of the things I tried to memorize the whate
hundred block of Sunset Boulevard. It was from the ocean
to downtown LA. And for a while, if you could
have said something like if you said like eighty nine
hundred Sunset sam Vasini Dohini, maybe nine thousand is Doheini?
(17:32):
I think eighty nine I think is in between there.
But I could do this, and like a psychopath, I
got into this city in a way that you know
may have been unhealthy.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
But I do love it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And anybody who has anything bad to say about it, well,
they got to come through me first.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's more like it.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
If you'd like to say, hello, eight hundred five to
two zero one five three four is the number. That's
one eight hundred five two zero one KFI. We're taking calls,
put them on the radio, seeing what you were doing
tonight instead of listening to the Dodger game or watching it.
And if your answer is listening to KFI, that's a
pretty good answer. I don't care what Ronner says bringing on.
(18:11):
One of the things I think that's fascinating also is
we do a lot of stories about gen z things
that are changing for the youth, and I'm at that point.
I'm almost forty. A couple of years from now will
be forty, and so I've seen the sort of era
of all culture being for young people. I was the demo,
as they said, I was a millennial. I am a millennial,
(18:33):
but I was a millennial when it felt like it
was a good thing, which was about three or four minutes.
Millennials are great because we're hated by boomers and gen Z.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Excuse me, what about gen X?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
I think X hates you too, but they hate us. Yeah,
are you gen X? I don't think I think you're
a boomer from I think you're a boomer. No, but
I think you're actually a millennial.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Technically it was nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Eighty is the cutoff? You're right, you are, jen X.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Well, either way, I now know what it's like to
sort of be on the other side of that because millennials,
you know, for all of the attention they were getting,
much of it negative, are pretty much nothingness. Now they've
sort of moved into the era of no one talks
about that. There's no longer think pieces on the Atlantic
about gen Z or gen X, rather, oh my god,
(19:24):
gen why millennials brain dead? Gen Z wishes though, that
it was the year two thousand that was kind of
my heyday. Fortune dot Com says, if you walk down
the streets of New York or London, it feels a
lot like stepping onto a set of a late nineties
music video, because the kids are wearing baggy jeans, they
got butterfly clips in their hair, cropped Halter tops and
(19:47):
flip phones. You know, for as much as gen Z
hates millennials, they certainly seem to want to be us.
The resurgence rather goes deeper than nostalgia. Gen Z is
weary of hyper polished esthetics and moral rigidity that define
the twenty tens. Brands like Juicy Couture, Baby Fat, Von
(20:12):
Dutch making comebacks. Maximalist no longer minimalist. We're talking about
over the top rhinestones, glossy lips, spiky hair. Ooh, I
wonder if the frosted tips are coming back.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Please know.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I'm ready. I'm going gray, so for me it'll just
be automatic. I'm there already. Yeah, you and me both
we have natural frosted tips.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, I don't need extra.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
The chor aesthetic doesn't have to say anything profound, but
fortune warns that there's a dark side against the suddenly
middle aged, passe millennials. They say that it's a rebellion
from gen Z against this hyper where woke culture from
(21:02):
my generation, and brands, whether it's Cracker Barrel or American
American Eagle rather which were kind of two sides of
the same coin, found themselves either on the horns of
an anti woke backlash or backlash or riding the back
of the bull as it charges forward. I love when
people talk about things that are I mean, admittedly important
(21:22):
from a money making perspective, but like relatively speaking, meaningless
but in very smart ways. Gen Z is getting this
fatigue with performative wokeness that millennials, I think fairly can
be criticized for engaging in that social media activism where
identity politics is all that you are. It's just about
(21:46):
how can I tell anybody what I think about the
world but not actually do anything about it. I remember
this when I first started working in journalism. This was
probably fifteen years ago. Occupy Wall Street, and it was
the groundswell people who are my age, and they really
wanted to do something. I think they saw a lot
of their parents in the sixties and they said activism
(22:06):
is important. Civil rights was really important in the sixties,
no doubt they wanted to be a part of that,
but they didn't really know how or why. And I
remember it was so hard to write about Occupy because
it wasn't like they wanted anything in particular. They wanted everything,
but it was not really clear. There wasn't a leader,
(22:27):
and this continued throughout much of the twenty tens. And
just like anything, a younger generation looks at the generation
just above them, just older than them, and says, wow,
that is cringe. I'm going to rebel against that. So now,
if you look at comedy, nightlife, dating culture, political correctness
(22:49):
is I guess, according to this article no longer a thing.
Podcasts are celebrating being cringe again. If your hypersense, you're
going to be hyper made fun of. And Fortune says
that's a bad thing because when you reject a lot
(23:12):
of the sort of performative wokeness, there's a chance, which
I get, that you go real hard into the I
don't know, racist, anti semitic, violent messages. Maybe people start
sympathizing with people who are not good. It's weird because
(23:35):
never before in my life have I heard people use
the R word more than like in the last year.
I was having dinner with a couple of friends who
a teacher at a private school in Los Angeles, and
he was telling us that the kids, and these are
like young kids like Jen Alpha.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
The kids are crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
About what they think and what they say, and it's
like they've completely gone to the opposite direction, which I
guess is not a surprise, because anybody who is one
way too much, you're gonna have a backlash and go
the other direction. But he said, these kids say these
things that makes you think that what are the Archie
Bunker wild fascinating.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Coming up? Classic cars?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
It might not be boomers behind the wheel of those
old corvettes, those old Lambos. Somebody else will tell you who.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Good evening on this night where I know the Dodgers
are not winners in Game one of the World Series,
but everybody is a winner here on KFI, especially.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
If you call in.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We've been talking about what you did tonight instead of
listening to or watching the Dodger game. Checking in with Paul.
You're live on CAFI. What were you doing this? Even Sarah?
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Well in a Dodger game, of course, and a little
bit disappointing. But I think uh La got a little
overconfident in what the Blue Jays are doing. I mean,
their last place last year, and they got momentum and
they got mojo and they were sicking ass. That was great.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, they look like a real team. That means business,
and I have not seen the Dodgers look so sort
of down trodden in a while.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agreed. I think it's over
confidence and uh, you know, they got they got the
mojo going on right now with the blue data. I mean,
I'm definitely a Dodger fan.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
What what what do you think that the Dodgers have
to do in game two to sort of reset the
clock here?
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Oh, they got to be more aggressive. They've got to
really play their game, you know, I think you know,
everybody has a place in the game, you know, m
VP's and all that, and they got to just come
back and just play the game, you know, and do
it with confidence. They're not over confidence, but they just
got to play the game.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Do you think it was a bad play to poutine?
Was that possible?
Speaker 8 (26:15):
I'm sorry? What was that?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Do you think that it could have been a bad
plate of poutine? Do you think that that could have been?
What happened? They they got to they got to Canada,
they got to play to poutine, you know, which is
the fries. That's what they eat up there. It's fries
and gravy and cheese and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
I didn't know that sounds great. I'm hungry right now,
give me something.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, well, you.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Know, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
I'm always gonna say that. I think they're over confident.
And you gots talking about La. I mean, Elatt, the
great town. I mean, I've lived, I grew up. You know.
My parents moved here in this when I was one
year old in nineteen sixty. I'm sixty six right now.
It's a great town, but you know, I moved out
of it, and I've lived out of lived in the
nord of California and Eureka, Stanta Barbara. And there are
(27:00):
so many beautiful places in this town. You know, to
the youngsters out there, it's like move around, check out places.
Only how's gems in this town. But there are so
many beautiful places. I think I don't want to overrate
LA because it's the beautiful country and then you should
check out everything.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, I think you're right, you know, and I think
the Central Coast doesn't get enough, doesn't get enough love.
So I'm glad that you said that, but I agree
with you. You know, La, I'm thankful for I have
a career because of Los Angeles. I like I guess,
you know, I came here to make something of myself,
and I'm at least employed, so I feel good about that.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
But yeah, and you have and and you know, good
for you guys. And Mark and that girl with that
sweet voice that's new to the station, you know, you know,
Michael probably twenty twenty five. Yeah, yeah, she's hot.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Who's it?
Speaker 8 (27:48):
Their voice is hot?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
On KFI? Who's the who's the new voice? Are you
talking about? Mark Roder? I don't know, oh on our show?
Speaker 8 (27:55):
Well Mark, yeah, no, no, I don't go that way.
But the girl.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Is really like Wow, Nicky, Wow, look at that. You
got a wow?
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Yeah? Yeah, you know, your mind goes crazy places, so
kind Well, let's keep drinking.

thank you so much for calling, mister Paul. Appreciate you
very much.
Speaker 3 (28:20):

was just starting to get interesting. Why do you let
him go?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Well?
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I didn't, Nicky didn't jump in, so I didn't know
if she was.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
I wasn't sure if if it would be a good idea.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, he said he had been drinking, and I think
as soon as you start hearing that, it's like, oh man.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
That's what's got my attention. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I know, I was like I would if we were
on the internet, I'd go for it. But I'm only
a I'm an interloper here, you know.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
I mean, I'm a guest here, so I don't I
I'm not sure I want to push it that far.
Speaker 3 (28:50):

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
