Andy hits the phone lines to ask listeners: “What’s something you think you can do—but have never actually tried?” From wannabe AM radio hosts to self-proclaimed plane landers and crane operators, the answers don’t disappoint. Plus, Andy breaks down Porsche’s new ‘Tunnel Mode’ feature and why it’s the most delightfully unnecessary tech flex yet.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
SKFIM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
I'm Andy Reesemeyer. You can find me on the internet
at Andy KTLA, and I would ask you to tune
in tomorrow morning at eight thirty to the KTLA Morning
News because you will see if I can land an airplane.
We were talking about things that you think you can
do for zero reason, like things that you think you
(00:32):
might be able to accomplish without any training because you're
just delusional. For me, that's land an airplane. And I'm
one of I guess fifty percent of all men who,
according to this study that came out a couple of
years ago, we think in the case of an emergency,
we could land an airplane.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Wasn't there also a significant percentage of men who thought
they could win a fight with a bear.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, yeah, that's a great one. So the question becomes,
and with Richie's permission, we're going to open the phone
lines here, what do you think you could do even
though you have no training and you've never done it before.
What are you sure that you What do you look
at and you say I could do that. I know
(01:14):
I could do that. Obviously, we won't make you do it,
but it's just interesting. So eight hundred five two zero
one five three four is the phone number. That's one
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Give
us a call, one eight hundred five two zero one
k F. I will put you on the air and
answer that question. What do you think you can do
even though you have no training? Are we going to
(01:35):
call this the Dunning Krueger Hour? Hey, there's a lot
we could call this. There's a lot we could go.
We could go on on record here with mister Mark RONNERD.
Do you have anything off the top of your head
that you feel like personally?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I don't think I could I could win a fight
against a bear. No, I'm acutely aware of all my limitations.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Oh yeah, are you?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
You don't have and one thing that you think maybe
I could do? If it comes up, I'll tell you.
But I tend to kind of overestimate my limitations instead
of going the other way around.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It saves time. Well, I guess that's one way to
go through life. I'll tell you what. Another thing I
think I can do, and with no reason, is get
away in a police pursuit. Really, after all the ones
we've seen here and how they turn it out, I
don't care. I think that that actually makes me better. Edit. Theoretically,
how would you get away? I would go in a
parking garage in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You're watching movies. You're watching Bullet and Baby Driver. I
watch I Gone in sixty seconds. Call me Nicholas A
Cage's character from that movie.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That everybody knows that. I'm not going to say, because
we know.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The best rains, the best moves I've seen people do
that actually made them get away, and I I'm sorry,
I don't want to give people tips out there.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
BO.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We're not. We're just saying, theoretically, we all believe in
the law.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Here after a sporting event, drive wherever they're driving from,
because all the people leaving out of there, the cops
don't want you typically to start driving like crazy around
that many people, so they'll just kind of let you go.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
That's just a rumor. By the way, we can't say
that with any veracity. That that's we know that.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I'm I'm an amateur. I'm not a professional. Again, please escape.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
We have zero accreditation, we have no certification when it
comes to any of these things that we're saying we're doing, right,
I mean, that's why it's fun. So what do you
think you could do even though you have no training?
Eight hundred five to zero one, five three four is
the number. I think we already got a caller. We
got somebody calling, so, uh, we'll get to those phone
(03:35):
lines pretty soon. Ronnie, is there any you have anything?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I think the number one answer from our callers is
going to be host a radio talk show. Hey, stick
around long enough, you never know what'll happen.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
High turnover rate in this industry. All. Yeah, it's funny.
You know this is also dumb. I've told you this before.
I got into TV because my parents paid attention to
the new people. I think I think that was like subconscious.
My parents thought that they were like worthy of attention.
So I'm sure that I was seeking that, and some
part of me thought I should do that because they
think that's okay, that's cool. But I also incorrectly assumed
(04:15):
that it was easy.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
A B.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The hours were good because I thought, oh, they just
go to they go on TV at six o'clock in
the morning and they're done by nine, So then they
go off and live their lives. Turns out not like
that at all. Bruh No.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I mentioned earlier that we were in this anti expertise
phase of our nation's downfall. And one of the things
about expertise is that the people who have sunk decades
of their life into it and have all the experience,
they make it look easy.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's exactly right, it is, and that's the beauty of it.
And I think that that's why we all think that
we can do these things that we can't do. I
got one for you, okay, Yeah, well, let's hear Sam.
Wingsuit jumping. Yeah, I totally think I can do it.
I fell off a plane once. I think I can
handle light. Sorry, you fell off a plane. One people
to say they jumped off a plane. Nobody jumps, They
just they just fall off. Where you You must have
(05:10):
been in tandem. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I had a dude named the Ginger Ninja strapped to
my back. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Was he a cool guy? That guy's got a big
guy who has very little space, you know, boundary issues.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, his package felt delightful in my lower back. Soft hands,
by the way. Yeah, But in a situation like that.
Do you even notice it? And I say this as
an ex wrestler, you don't. You don't feel it.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
No, at that point you have bigger concerns on your
mind than the laying in your back.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, when your whole fighter flight system is activated, you
don't care if a guy's pressing is jump into this smalling.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Fight and flight, yeah, fall and flight. Yeah. We have
a couple of calls. Should we take one here? Yeah,
let's talk to Aaron who's calling from Santa Clarita. You're
on KFI with me, Andy Reesemeyer, tell us, tell us
what you would you think that you can do even
though you have no training whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
This is actually true.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
This might take a little bit of thinking, but I
think I could stay married a fourth time.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Is this Mark Christie calling?
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And it is not?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That is a great answer. Now, are you married a
fourth time?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I am not finished my third divorce about five years ago.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
And the good news is.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Three marriages, three divorces, not one lawyer, no property disputes,
no attorneys, nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That's pretty good, you know, yeah, lucky. I always wonder
if people out there ever call Big Lou you know,
he's he's just like you. But he's on number two, right,
he's he does divorces and life insurance.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
I don't know how many women he has calling him
to be honest with you with that commercial, but it
is very catchy.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It is very catchy. What do you owe your success?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
And to you is number two? It is number two
to you, lou Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, he's on he's on them
or two.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So what do you owe your success? In dissolution of marriages?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
In what seems to be a relatively painless way, at
least for you.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Uh, you know, when you have kids, I've learned kids
didn't ask for two things. They didn't ask to be born,
and they didn't ask for their parents to get divorced.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yeah at a boy, that's that is how you handle it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You treat them, You prioritize the kids.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Yeah, provo exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, I know divorce is a bit of a taboo
topic still in some circles. But you know, I'm a
child of divorce and I think it was actually it
ended up being great because I got to see my
parents happy and successful with other people as opposed to
miserable together. And I think that my long scale view
(07:49):
of it from thirty thousand feet where I'm flying this
airplane that I have no authority to fly. Is that
my dad, who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago,
got to live twenty years of his life, you know,
in a a in a good relationship. And I think
that the relationship that he was in with my mom,
you know, everybody would realize that obviously that wasn't great
and that's why they got divorced. So I think I think,
(08:10):
you know, you're onto something there for sure, as far
as prioritizing the kids, and I think that actually, I think,
you know, some people say they stay together for the kids,
but I think that that puts a lot of pressure
on the kid and the kids like, oh, really, you're
miserable because of me.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
And they don't miss They don't. Yeah, I didn't see
it that way, but they don't miss a thing. If
your parents are miserable, you know, it doesn't matter if
you're two or forty.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, well, Aaron, thank you so much for calling from
Santa Clarita. We appreciate you. Thank you, buddy, good to
talk to you. All Right, We've got two more callers,
but I've got to take a quick break. When we
come back, we'll hear from Mark and Louis, do you
think it's Big Lou, Big Big Lou's colin about number two?
Would he call us? That's a great I mean, Mark,
(08:55):
I didn't. I didn't think about it until just now.
I was like, he, of course call me.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But when you say it out loud, I think I
want to know if the last guy who had three
divorces with no lawyers has a big home depot bill
for shovels and quickline. And that was your serial killer
reference for this year, you guys an hour and fourteen minutes.
I had to get it out of the way.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, let's hear some more from Mark Roder and the
KFI twenty four CAF. I am six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy Reesemeyer. Thanks for
being with us on this Monday evening, November three. What
a beautiful day we had in Los Angeles today, real
good Southern California day with the Dodgers parade feeling like winners.
I was saying this on the show yesterday. You know,
(09:37):
it was a really good thing. A lot of people
said this on the streets that the Dodgers won the
World Series because Los Angeles has had a tough year,
you know, with the fires and the demonstrations, the protests.
So we win the World Series and we celebrate with fires,
demonstrations and protests. I love it, We love la. We
(09:59):
need a new song. I'd like the Randy Newman song,
but I think we needed something with a little bit.
I like the Kendrick song too, but I just think
we need a little variety here. Gotta have more than
one song. By the way, are you guys hooligans? Yes? Yeah,
what's that mean? Well, I guess it means a lot
(10:19):
of things, but in this capacity, you might be a
hooligan if this sound appeals to you that there is
a flat six portion nine to eleven Carrera doing a
(10:42):
launch control, not burnout launch control through a tunnel. There
is something among hooligan boys. I'll just say boys because
it's not not a gender term. Women can be boys
and men can be boys, but it's a boy move.
I think when you're in a nice car or a
fast car, it's got a big motor on it, and
(11:03):
you go through a tunnel, what do you do? You
open the windows, drop into a lower gear and you
floor it so you can hear that sweet exhaust echoing
back through it from the tunnel walls. Nothing sounds like
America like that, And I don't care that that, of
course is a German car Baden stuttgot. But now Portia
(11:27):
is going to say you don't have to do it
on your own. They've patented a feature called Tunnel Mode,
which will automatically prepare your card to make the maximum
noise possible when going through a tunnel. Does it honk
the hornwall? You go, oh, no, Well that's a good question.
Here's what it does. It uses cameras and visual recognition software,
(11:51):
an algorithm and GPS to detect if a tunnel is coming.
When it notices that there's a tunnel on the way,
he gives you an option. You get to have two different
tunnel modes. The first automatically lowers the windows in order
to maximize the exhaust notes penetration into the cabin. The
(12:12):
second then toggles the car's sport mode and opens up
its active exhaust if it's equipped with one, making the
exhaust louder.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So it just makes the car sound louder, it doesn't
actually make it go faster and oh no, no, okay.
Good of the tunnels here in southern California lead to
the beach and they have cliffs off the other side.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, this sounds like an ideal product for Wiley Coyote.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's silly because a lot of people think this is dumb.
I'm not one of them. I love this idea. Like
I said, you know, you get notified. I like the
idea of tunnels and making noise in tunnels, but I
don't like that it a computer is doing it for you.
It's like alternately you could just book right, turn, hit
(13:02):
the down shift, turn on your sport exhaust, open the
windows and go. They're even thinking about adding it to
the electrical vehicle electric vehicles like the Porsia Taikon. What
an odd world we live in. We're taking calls here
on KFI. We've been talking about things that you think
you can do without any training. For me, that's land
(13:23):
an airplane talking to Mark calling from Is Mark actually
calling from Japan? Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
That is correct? What? Yes? Correct?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's the coolest thing. We've never had somebody call from
Japan before. This is so awesome. What are you doing?
In Japan listening to the radio.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Well, I'm listening to iHeartRadio. God bless it. And it's
crazy because just a couple of days ago, I talked
to Tim Conway Junior. I've been on KFI twice. I
grew up in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Amazing. And what time is it? Where are you in
Tokyo or what part of Japan are you in?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
On a little south of Tokyo. And it's about one
thirty pm. It's approaching one thirty pm.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Wow, tomorrow, that's so cool and so what the world
is still here though? Tomorrow you can verify?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll give you some stock tips.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Hey, uh, I want to keep talking to you here,
but I know we're got to hand it over to
Mark Ronner in just a second. But what brought you
to Japan? And you know from Orange County?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I was originally in the Navy. I remember hearing the
Navy and then I retired here. I actually i've talked
with Mark before there, Mark Ronner on the mo Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's awesome. Mark to Mark, well, thank you for your service,
first of all, and I hate to even ask, like,
what do you think that you can do without any training.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Oh, I think that I could probably post an AM
radio talk show in a major metropolitan market.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
What I tell you, that's so funny. You know, with
a voice like that, the Japan thing is going to
be tough, because you know, they like to have people local.
But I would say with a voice like yours, it's
very calming, it's confident, and obviously you're well traveled. You
got a good back backstory. Uh, served in the Navy.
We appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
We love that.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
If I could do it, quite possibly anyone can. So
I think there's hope for you.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah. Well that's that's what I was gonna say, Like,
that's why I think I could do it, because you're
doing it. You make it look easy.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Thank you? Is that a compliment? I don't know. I'm
gonna take it as well.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It was kind of it was kind of like it
was kind of a it was a slap and then
like a handshake.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But no, no, it's really They like that, don't they.
They pay extra for that there.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, after you buy the if
you body the panties from the vending careful, No.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That's right. There's a whole cafe. There's a whole cafe
to get slapped and you get your hand shookn afterwards.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but it's really expensive. Oh yeah, and
they don't take American Express if it's such a pain
in the ass.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, it's weird. It's only it's only cash.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Go figure, it's all cash.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
But uh yeah no, seriously, that was I'm I'm liking
the new show. I listened to KFI all the time.
Thank you, even handle Hey that.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Guy, somebody's got to listen. We got to sell them Zelmans.
You know those Zelmans. Aren't selling yourself?
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, how about just brush your teeth?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh no, no, no, yeah, okay, he's on the he's
on the move. That man doesn't have time to brush
his teeth. He's got to hit him with the Elmonts.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Also, you never know what kind of garlic and liver
and onion situation that he had at lunch. You know,
I mean, you can't go home and brush your teeth.
You know, this is a it's really for all of
us here, I think.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean you get the microphones and
everything there with the.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, but well, what would you what would you do?
Your last question for you here before because I got
to give it over to mister Honor. But what would
your show be about?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Just basically be this just kind of bssing just but
like I get it, like interpreting news and and just
riffing on what's going on and just kind of just
kind of being happy and enjoying the movie that is life.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Oo.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Can we cut this for a promo? Please? This is fantastic.
Speaker 6 (17:19):

out in case we get into it. I'm an emergency, Yeah,

Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah, No, I got no problem with Big Lou or

so much for being on the show. I'm handing over
to from one Mark to the other. In the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
K's caf I Am six forty. Andy Reesmeyer with you
this evening. More stimulating talk radio, is it ever? I'm
excited to listen tomorrow to Monks and Merrill. That'll be fun.
Election night, mister Ronerd, do you have the night offer?
What are you going to be here doing news updates? Also,
I'll be here. I'm required to be here by law,
by law.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Good.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, then we're in good hands. We're in great hands
between you Monks Merrill. It's a pretty good night. It's
a pretty good lineup. What else would you want? Literally nothing?
I said that kind of like Shatner, Yeah, what else
would you want? Is there any a better group of
guys in news? I think not. I've told that story before.
(19:17):
I told you yesterday. I had people call in tell
me about celebrity experience that they that they have had.
And we had a couple of callers, a lot of
a lot of a lot of good stories, a lot
of positive stories, a lot of Jay Leno being a
great guy. That was a good one, always a good dude.
Unless maybe you're David Letterman or Conan O'Brien, most people are.
(19:38):
Most people are fans every interaction that I've ever had
with him, which I don't I don't know him on
a first name basis or anything like that. I'm not
like Conway, who knows Leno man. But I think he's, uh,
you know, just a very thoughtful dude. The guy who
met Leno said that he met him walking his dog
in Beverly Hills. The guy was walking his dog, and
(20:00):
a year later, around the same time, he met him again,
and that Leno remembered the name of his dog a
year later. That's impressive. I couldn't do that. Oh yeah,
you know a spot spot. Yeah, I can't do Leno.
I wish I could do Lenno. I can't get my
voice to go that high here. And then also he
(20:21):
kind of goes down here.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's a We used to do a thing on the
show where we'd do like Jay Leno joke of the day,
which was just like a fun little singer, and uh,
we would all the it's a show called All Systems
go on PlayStation view and we would all come. We
would all like do like yeah, yeah, yeah, you know,
like our bad Jay Leno impressions. That guy is such
a good joke writer. I don't think people you know,
(20:43):
people know he's funny, they know he's cool, they know
he's got all the cars, they know he's a legend.
But he's just such a good journeyman of comedy. He
just is able to write like hundreds and hundreds of
jokes a day that is so difficult.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
It's harder than it looks. And go back to that
expertise thread that we've had tonight. Yeah, whether you love
Lenno or Seinfeld or what your taste is and comedians,
these guys are masters of the trade.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
They're all good, and I think that they all exist
from an era that sadly doesn't anymore. Letterman, I think
Conan I think was sort of the last of that era.
But the guys who just were in it every day
spoke to the entire country. I just have so much,
so much respect for them, and they spoke to people
who were watching. I think is really important nowadays. You
(21:30):
know everybody's watching a million different other things. But Man, Carson, Leno,
Letterman O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, those are the guys.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Took me a while to appreciate Ferguson, but he was
good man, He's incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I tried to get Ferguson's sidekick Josh Robert Thompson to
come on the show a message. You get the skeleton,
You've got a better chance of the skeleton.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh yeah, Josh Robert Thompson did Jeff the Skeleton for
years and he did all. I mean, that guy is
an unbelievable voice guy. And he's very funny too, because
it's like, you know, there's a lot of impressionists who
are who can do the voice, but they're not funny,
and this guy is like one of the like dropped
out side splitting laughter, funniest guys out there, and also
(22:13):
can just transform his voice to anybody and everything. We
are taking calls here on KFI. The number is one
hundred and five two zer're a one five three four
Give us a call, tell us what you think you
can do without any any expertise or experience whatsoever. We've
got Louie who has patiently been waiting for a very
(22:35):
long time. Louis, thank you for calling from Corona. I'm
so sorry that you've been waiting. Uh but I guess

have you there? He is, Hey, Louis, I can hear you, Sarah,

That's good. Now Corona's got an airport too.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Right right on the backside. Well, the most of the
other day local act because I grew up you know,
I have a house out here, but I grew up
on the waterfront.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So you know, are you a pedro guy or you
a long beach guy or a Wilmington guy.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Well, I was consumed in New York, born in Phoenix,
grew up in California, y. Yeah, pretty much. You know
the east close upstate New York where my mom's from Waterdleed, Albany.
So that's that's colection right now.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, yeah, where do you Okay? So we know that
the polls say that the mayor the mayor race in
New York City is pretty close. Do you think that
any anybody? You know, what are you hearing on the
on the streets as opposed to the pollsters?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, my sister just got back with my brother and
now they went back for a two week vacation, and
you know everybody's you know, actually I had a cousin
that they did one of the Kumo brothers. Oh there
was like thirty forty years ago. Which one that was
you know through I don't know. I got a call
back up and find out, uh, you know when when
(24:39):
the dad when the dad was the dad was a
governor and we met, we went back to bury my grandmother,
my mother's mother, and my uncle was telling me about
I go really so they were young, you know, young
guys at that time.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, with the election and.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
All that, you know, pretty much they just got back
to the wall.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Wow, that's an exciting time. It's going to be interesting
to see what happens with that, for sure.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
I know it's interesting in tomorrow seriously, because that was
house sitting for my sisters who lives over in Gable
on his little fig from me in Colorma. Actually that's
what I'm made right now.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well, we thank you for night, you know. Yeah, yeah,
I hear you, I hear you. How's the how's the Portocostah?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Go ahead, everything's doing good, everything's going. But actually the
second time I've called Camp, the last time I talked
to Tim when the day that Prince passed on. Oh
maybe story about that because uh, Greg Petchell used to
be buried a Polonia that was in the movie Purple Right.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Wait, so so yeah, give me give me that story
real quickly before before we hand it off to Mark Ronerd.
Tell me what what was Prince's the Purple Ones connection
to Pedro.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Well, he was. He was Apollonia, the girl that played
Patty Cato, that played Apollonia in the movie Prince. Oh yeah, no,
it will in Purple Rain. That were Prince that discovered her.
She was married to a Pigro guy named Greg Patchell.
And that's the day I was walking through Talasak. Believe
he passed on because I go, you might be nice
to see him that day when he gets to the
super Bowl. Oh yeah, I was working at night and
(26:06):
I called I called him up and I held like
I held out of like twenty twenty five minutes like this,
I said, I got a Prince.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
S that's a good. That's a good.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
I don't really want to know. Yeah, they didn't want
to know that that she was married to Greg at
that time because because she was coming up you know,
you know, it was a breakout movie.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I guess, yeah, And that was kind of a whole
stretch of Apollonia and uh, sheili I think right, and
a couple of girls who were all in his in
his band for sure. And Apollonia six was the name
of that group, Vanity Vanity six right. She was in
the lit last week, so.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
She's all the time morning into years.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh well, thank you so much. Well, thank you for calling.
I really appreciated it. So sorry to make you wait.
I'm with you that I think I could land a
plane for no reason whatsoever, just because of my own
I I guess you figure.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Wishould get you down on the one of the Hammerhead
you see.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You know that is a bucket list thing. I'm not
even kidding you. I have a document that's like ten
years old on Google Docs that's like cool field pieces
and one of them is like try to drive a crane.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
So yeah, yeah, you know, you know what amazing because
they've been doing you know, they've been showing a War
of the World, you know, with Tom Cruise driving a
hammer head from the beginning of the movie. I don't
know that, you know, the one they did the Yeah
you got to see that when he did that, he's
up there and I said, you know, he's driving pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
For you know, for wow, man, I think it's so
cool what you guys do, and that is some real
heavy machinery I have. I have a major respect for
people who are operating that kind of stuff. You know,
the margin of error, I'm sure is very small. If
you make a mistake, just like being a pilot, it's
probably curtains for you.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Well, actually, you know what happened. Timber Ly Chan actually
interviewed me one night. We had a we had a
big fire on one other docks. Oh yeah, she goes,
I would have never knew this place existed on the
wet side of Wilmington. Yeah, and she was watched and
she was setting up for the shoot and everything. And
if if you do that, if you do the back
research out of you'll see me.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh I will.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
We love Kimberly Change. She's she's a great reporter. Well,
i'll tell you what she did.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
She did a great job that night, you know, with
all the channels over there.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, well, Louis, stay on the line and we'll get
your info and then maybe we'll try to do a
segment with you with the crane. I can't promise anything.
I don't know if I should be really allowed anywhere
near there, but at the very least we'll grab a
beer down at the chowder barge next time. I'm next time,
I'm in Wilmington for sure. Louis from Corona says he
thinks he could land a plane. I'm there with him,
very good. I am six forty. We live everywhere in
(28:40):
the iHeartRadio app. I like that what Handle was saying
about a new version of car playing. I'll tell you what.
If I have to go through another iPad menu to
change the air conditioning in a car, I'm gonna lose it.
I love buttons and switches. I don't understand why we
had to do this. I know it's because Tesla decided
(29:01):
to put a big screen in their car, and everyone said, well,
we got to do that. Buttons are more expensive than
a screen. I guess they way less, there's less electrical
stuff that goes behind it. Whatever. But man, you gotta
go look through your You got to look through your
menu to put the turn signal. Like, come on, we're
taking calls talking about things that we think we can
(29:23):
do with zero evidence, experience or training. We had a
caller named Kathy who I think dropped off. So, Kathy,
if you're still listening and you want to call us
eight hundred and five to zero one, five, three four.
We'll put you back on the air here. If you
still got a minute, try to get you in before
nine pm. But now we're checking in with Jake calling
from you, KAIPA. What is it that you think that
you can do without any experience?
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Hey, Andy and crew, I said that I think iPod
host a KFI radio show without any experience.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Listen, buddy, get the line, Bucko, get in line. Now,
what what makes you feel like you have?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I guess the authority to do this? And I I
asked this because I'm wondering why I do as well.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Hey, well I'm not I'm not involved with KTLA, So
I guess I got a disadvantage of the post to you.
But that said, I I can yap a lot, just uh,
And I guess maybe some of that would be suitable
for air, at least I hope.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
So yeah, well you never know. You gotta make a tape. Yeah,
give me a hot take. Do you have any like
stories off the cuff that you can you can regale
us with?
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Oh, well, since we're talking about KFI, I will talk
about the last KFI host they met, which was Neil
Savadra at Wildford Food among bees.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Great guy.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
I also go to meet Bill Handle too. Both of
them are great people.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
How are their breaths?
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Oh my god, with Zelmans, they're great.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
It's good to hear.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
You got you gotta gotta have that sponsor. You gotta
you gotta promote the sponsors.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Gotta pay those bills.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Indeed.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Hey, I also want to say hi to Mark Ronner
and let him know I really enjoy your your newscast man.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Nice to hear from you. Call back often. Yeah, you
can send us. I would love to send a message
to his boss, to our boss.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Oh yeah, yeah. Maybe maybe make you get like some
sort of an award pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Huh uh sure.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, Well where were you gonna fit it? You've got
so many already, you have so many.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You've got so many.
Speaker 8 (31:36):
I need to get another storage container or something.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, run another storage unit. We always do that. All
your Marconi's, yes, there you go, and your Pulitzers. Well
very good. Well, thank you so much, and I'm glad
you had a good time with Savedra and uh and
uh Handle Were they both there together?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Yes, they were. As a matter of fact, that was
the day that a lady came in in uh, and
she was wearing like the shirt that says I knew
Bill Handle when he looked like this. It was one
of his high school pictures. It turns out that was
the first lady who willingly kissed Bill Handle and showed
up at this remote wow photo of the moment that
Bill was telling that story to Neil. He was just horrified.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Oh my god, Savadro was horrified.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Not Bill.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Bill was probably very happy about telling it. Enough horror
to go around, I.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Think, yeah, Neil, Neil himself said said, this is the
only woman who was willingly kissed Bill.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Oh my god, that's so silly. That's great. You know,
those guys are so good. And I think that it
does just go to show the power of this station
and and how the the personalities really do, uh drive
the listening, you know, and they really are the reason
people are are are listening. And how many years ago
was that when that happened?
Speaker 6 (32:50):
That was this?
Speaker 8 (32:51):
That was only a couple of months ago, three recent okay,
well yeah it was. Uh it was wild Fork Foods
was celebrating their year there, I think year anniversary yet
at the Long Beast location, and I heard there was
a moon like, okay, I'll come. I'm from the inm
An Empire from Ekapa. As you know, I made the
two hours cript just to go see him.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's awesome. Well good, I'm glad you got to see him.
And maybe someday we'll take Sam and Ritchie and Mark
and myself out to uh a live remote somewhere and
you can come and say hello to us. What about
the Sizzler, Yeah, Sizzler and is there one in u Kaipa.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
There used to be one, of course you got closed
down years ago.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well, if anybody out there has a line to the
Sizzler PR team and they want to host us for
a remote, were out where.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
They could, they could pull a spirit Halloween and just
pop one up just for you guys.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
That's right, we could do a collab. Why don't we
do one right here in the break there? Alrighty, well,
thank you so much, Jake from you Kaipa. Who thinks
that he could without any experience host a talk radio show,
do you do?
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Just know?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I think he did pretty great. Yeah, but I mean
I'm no I'm in the same boat as he is.
You know, I don't have any experience, do it What
am I doing here?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Well, I think we all ask ourselves that unless we're
just complete narcissist about me, no about ourselves, obviously about you,
but about ourselves as well.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
A very good, very good Another hour of that fun
content coming up, So much content ready to shovel into
your content hungry ears. It's KIM six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (34:29):
App KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
SKFIM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
I'm Andy Reesemeyer. You can find me on the internet
at Andy KTLA, and I would ask you to tune
in tomorrow morning at eight thirty to the KTLA Morning
News because you will see if I can land an airplane.
We were talking about things that you think you can
do for zero reason, like things that you think you
(00:32):
might be able to accomplish without any training because you're
just delusional. For me, that's land an airplane. And I'm
one of I guess fifty percent of all men who,
according to this study that came out a couple of
years ago, we think in the case of an emergency,
we could land an airplane.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Wasn't there also a significant percentage of men who thought
they could win a fight with a bear.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, yeah, that's a great one. So the question becomes,
and with Richie's permission, we're going to open the phone
lines here, what do you think you could do even
though you have no training and you've never done it before.
What are you sure that you What do you look
at and you say I could do that. I know
(01:14):
I could do that. Obviously, we won't make you do it,
but it's just interesting. So eight hundred five two zero
one five three four is the phone number. That's one
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Give
us a call, one eight hundred five two zero one
k F. I will put you on the air and
answer that question. What do you think you can do
even though you have no training? Are we going to
(01:35):
call this the Dunning Krueger Hour? Hey, there's a lot
we could call this. There's a lot we could go.
We could go on on record here with mister Mark RONNERD.
Do you have anything off the top of your head
that you feel like personally?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I don't think I could I could win a fight
against a bear. No, I'm acutely aware of all my limitations.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Oh yeah, are you?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
You don't have and one thing that you think maybe
I could do? If it comes up, I'll tell you.
But I tend to kind of overestimate my limitations instead
of going the other way around.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It saves time. Well, I guess that's one way to
go through life. I'll tell you what. Another thing I
think I can do, and with no reason, is get
away in a police pursuit. Really, after all the ones
we've seen here and how they turn it out, I
don't care. I think that that actually makes me better. Edit. Theoretically,
how would you get away? I would go in a
parking garage in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You're watching movies. You're watching Bullet and Baby Driver. I
watch I Gone in sixty seconds. Call me Nicholas A
Cage's character from that movie.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That everybody knows that. I'm not going to say, because
we know.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The best rains, the best moves I've seen people do
that actually made them get away, and I I'm sorry,
I don't want to give people tips out there.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
BO.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We're not. We're just saying, theoretically, we all believe in
the law.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Here after a sporting event, drive wherever they're driving from,
because all the people leaving out of there, the cops
don't want you typically to start driving like crazy around
that many people, so they'll just kind of let you go.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
That's just a rumor. By the way, we can't say
that with any veracity. That that's we know that.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I'm I'm an amateur. I'm not a professional. Again, please escape.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
We have zero accreditation, we have no certification when it
comes to any of these things that we're saying we're doing, right,
I mean, that's why it's fun. So what do you
think you could do even though you have no training?
Eight hundred five to zero one, five three four is
the number. I think we already got a caller. We
got somebody calling, so, uh, we'll get to those phone
(03:35):
lines pretty soon. Ronnie, is there any you have anything?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I think the number one answer from our callers is
going to be host a radio talk show. Hey, stick
around long enough, you never know what'll happen.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
High turnover rate in this industry. All. Yeah, it's funny.
You know this is also dumb. I've told you this before.
I got into TV because my parents paid attention to
the new people. I think I think that was like subconscious.
My parents thought that they were like worthy of attention.
So I'm sure that I was seeking that, and some
part of me thought I should do that because they
think that's okay, that's cool. But I also incorrectly assumed
(04:15):
that it was easy.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
A B.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The hours were good because I thought, oh, they just
go to they go on TV at six o'clock in
the morning and they're done by nine, So then they
go off and live their lives. Turns out not like
that at all. Bruh No.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I mentioned earlier that we were in this anti expertise
phase of our nation's downfall. And one of the things
about expertise is that the people who have sunk decades
of their life into it and have all the experience,
they make it look easy.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's exactly right, it is, and that's the beauty of it.
And I think that that's why we all think that
we can do these things that we can't do. I
got one for you, okay, Yeah, well, let's hear Sam.
Wingsuit jumping. Yeah, I totally think I can do it.
I fell off a plane once. I think I can
handle light. Sorry, you fell off a plane. One people
to say they jumped off a plane. Nobody jumps, They
just they just fall off. Where you You must have
(05:10):
been in tandem. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I had a dude named the Ginger Ninja strapped to
my back. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Was he a cool guy? That guy's got a big
guy who has very little space, you know, boundary issues.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, his package felt delightful in my lower back. Soft hands,
by the way. Yeah, But in a situation like that.
Do you even notice it? And I say this as
an ex wrestler, you don't. You don't feel it.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
No, at that point you have bigger concerns on your
mind than the laying in your back.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, when your whole fighter flight system is activated, you
don't care if a guy's pressing is jump into this smalling.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Fight and flight, yeah, fall and flight. Yeah. We have
a couple of calls. Should we take one here? Yeah,
let's talk to Aaron who's calling from Santa Clarita. You're
on KFI with me, Andy Reesemeyer, tell us, tell us
what you would you think that you can do even
though you have no training whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
This is actually true.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
This might take a little bit of thinking, but I
think I could stay married a fourth time.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Is this Mark Christie calling?
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And it is not?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That is a great answer. Now, are you married a
fourth time?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I am not finished my third divorce about five years ago.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
And the good news is.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Three marriages, three divorces, not one lawyer, no property disputes,
no attorneys, nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That's pretty good, you know, yeah, lucky. I always wonder
if people out there ever call Big Lou you know,
he's he's just like you. But he's on number two, right,
he's he does divorces and life insurance.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
I don't know how many women he has calling him
to be honest with you with that commercial, but it
is very catchy.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It is very catchy. What do you owe your success?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
And to you is number two? It is number two
to you, lou Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, he's on he's on them
or two.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So what do you owe your success? In dissolution of marriages?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
In what seems to be a relatively painless way, at
least for you.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Uh, you know, when you have kids, I've learned kids
didn't ask for two things. They didn't ask to be born,
and they didn't ask for their parents to get divorced.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yeah at a boy, that's that is how you handle it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You treat them, You prioritize the kids.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Yeah, provo exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, I know divorce is a bit of a taboo
topic still in some circles. But you know, I'm a
child of divorce and I think it was actually it
ended up being great because I got to see my
parents happy and successful with other people as opposed to
miserable together. And I think that my long scale view
(07:49):
of it from thirty thousand feet where I'm flying this
airplane that I have no authority to fly. Is that
my dad, who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago,
got to live twenty years of his life, you know,
in a a in a good relationship. And I think
that the relationship that he was in with my mom,
you know, everybody would realize that obviously that wasn't great
and that's why they got divorced. So I think I think,
(08:10):
you know, you're onto something there for sure, as far
as prioritizing the kids, and I think that actually, I think,
you know, some people say they stay together for the kids,
but I think that that puts a lot of pressure
on the kid and the kids like, oh, really, you're
miserable because of me.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
And they don't miss They don't. Yeah, I didn't see
it that way, but they don't miss a thing. If
your parents are miserable, you know, it doesn't matter if
you're two or forty.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, well, Aaron, thank you so much for calling from
Santa Clarita. We appreciate you. Thank you, buddy, good to
talk to you. All Right, We've got two more callers,
but I've got to take a quick break. When we
come back, we'll hear from Mark and Louis, do you
think it's Big Lou, Big Big Lou's colin about number two?
Would he call us? That's a great I mean, Mark,
(08:55):
I didn't. I didn't think about it until just now.
I was like, he, of course call me.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But when you say it out loud, I think I
want to know if the last guy who had three
divorces with no lawyers has a big home depot bill
for shovels and quickline. And that was your serial killer
reference for this year, you guys an hour and fourteen minutes.
I had to get it out of the way.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, let's hear some more from Mark Roder and the
KFI twenty four CAF. I am six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy Reesemeyer. Thanks for
being with us on this Monday evening, November three. What
a beautiful day we had in Los Angeles today, real
good Southern California day with the Dodgers parade feeling like winners.
I was saying this on the show yesterday. You know,
(09:37):
it was a really good thing. A lot of people
said this on the streets that the Dodgers won the
World Series because Los Angeles has had a tough year,
you know, with the fires and the demonstrations, the protests.
So we win the World Series and we celebrate with fires,
demonstrations and protests. I love it, We love la. We
(09:59):
need a new song. I'd like the Randy Newman song,
but I think we needed something with a little bit.
I like the Kendrick song too, but I just think
we need a little variety here. Gotta have more than
one song. By the way, are you guys hooligans? Yes? Yeah,
what's that mean? Well, I guess it means a lot
(10:19):
of things, but in this capacity, you might be a
hooligan if this sound appeals to you that there is
a flat six portion nine to eleven Carrera doing a
(10:42):
launch control, not burnout launch control through a tunnel. There
is something among hooligan boys. I'll just say boys because
it's not not a gender term. Women can be boys
and men can be boys, but it's a boy move.
I think when you're in a nice car or a
fast car, it's got a big motor on it, and
(11:03):
you go through a tunnel, what do you do? You
open the windows, drop into a lower gear and you
floor it so you can hear that sweet exhaust echoing
back through it from the tunnel walls. Nothing sounds like
America like that, And I don't care that that, of
course is a German car Baden stuttgot. But now Portia
(11:27):
is going to say you don't have to do it
on your own. They've patented a feature called Tunnel Mode,
which will automatically prepare your card to make the maximum
noise possible when going through a tunnel. Does it honk
the hornwall? You go, oh, no, Well that's a good question.
Here's what it does. It uses cameras and visual recognition software,
(11:51):
an algorithm and GPS to detect if a tunnel is coming.
When it notices that there's a tunnel on the way,
he gives you an option. You get to have two different
tunnel modes. The first automatically lowers the windows in order
to maximize the exhaust notes penetration into the cabin. The
(12:12):
second then toggles the car's sport mode and opens up
its active exhaust if it's equipped with one, making the
exhaust louder.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So it just makes the car sound louder, it doesn't
actually make it go faster and oh no, no, okay.
Good of the tunnels here in southern California lead to
the beach and they have cliffs off the other side.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, this sounds like an ideal product for Wiley Coyote.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's silly because a lot of people think this is dumb.
I'm not one of them. I love this idea. Like
I said, you know, you get notified. I like the
idea of tunnels and making noise in tunnels, but I
don't like that it a computer is doing it for you.
It's like alternately you could just book right, turn, hit
(13:02):
the down shift, turn on your sport exhaust, open the
windows and go. They're even thinking about adding it to
the electrical vehicle electric vehicles like the Porsia Taikon. What
an odd world we live in. We're taking calls here
on KFI. We've been talking about things that you think
you can do without any training. For me, that's land
(13:23):
an airplane talking to Mark calling from Is Mark actually
calling from Japan? Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
That is correct? What? Yes? Correct?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's the coolest thing. We've never had somebody call from
Japan before. This is so awesome. What are you doing?
In Japan listening to the radio.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Well, I'm listening to iHeartRadio. God bless it. And it's
crazy because just a couple of days ago, I talked
to Tim Conway Junior. I've been on KFI twice. I
grew up in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Amazing. And what time is it? Where are you in
Tokyo or what part of Japan are you in?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
On a little south of Tokyo. And it's about one
thirty pm. It's approaching one thirty pm.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Wow, tomorrow, that's so cool and so what the world
is still here though? Tomorrow you can verify?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll give you some stock tips.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Hey, uh, I want to keep talking to you here,
but I know we're got to hand it over to
Mark Ronner in just a second. But what brought you
to Japan? And you know from Orange County?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I was originally in the Navy. I remember hearing the
Navy and then I retired here. I actually i've talked
with Mark before there, Mark Ronner on the mo Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's awesome. Mark to Mark, well, thank you for your service,
first of all, and I hate to even ask, like,
what do you think that you can do without any training.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Oh, I think that I could probably post an AM
radio talk show in a major metropolitan market.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
What I tell you, that's so funny. You know, with
a voice like that, the Japan thing is going to
be tough, because you know, they like to have people local.
But I would say with a voice like yours, it's
very calming, it's confident, and obviously you're well traveled. You
got a good back backstory. Uh, served in the Navy.
We appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
We love that.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
If I could do it, quite possibly anyone can. So
I think there's hope for you.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah. Well that's that's what I was gonna say, Like,
that's why I think I could do it, because you're
doing it. You make it look easy.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Thank you? Is that a compliment? I don't know. I'm
gonna take it as well.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It was kind of it was kind of like it
was kind of a it was a slap and then
like a handshake.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But no, no, it's really They like that, don't they.
They pay extra for that there.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, after you buy the if
you body the panties from the vending careful, No.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That's right. There's a whole cafe. There's a whole cafe
to get slapped and you get your hand shookn afterwards.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but it's really expensive. Oh yeah, and
they don't take American Express if it's such a pain
in the ass.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, it's weird. It's only it's only cash.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Go figure, it's all cash.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
But uh yeah no, seriously, that was I'm I'm liking
the new show. I listened to KFI all the time.
Thank you, even handle Hey that.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Guy, somebody's got to listen. We got to sell them Zelmans.
You know those Zelmans. Aren't selling yourself?
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, how about just brush your teeth?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh no, no, no, yeah, okay, he's on the he's
on the move. That man doesn't have time to brush
his teeth. He's got to hit him with the Elmonts.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Also, you never know what kind of garlic and liver
and onion situation that he had at lunch. You know,
I mean, you can't go home and brush your teeth.
You know, this is a it's really for all of
us here, I think.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean you get the microphones and
everything there with the.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, but well, what would you what would you do?
Your last question for you here before because I got
to give it over to mister Honor. But what would
your show be about?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Just basically be this just kind of bssing just but
like I get it, like interpreting news and and just
riffing on what's going on and just kind of just
kind of being happy and enjoying the movie that is life.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Oo.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Can we cut this for a promo? Please? This is fantastic.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I love it when callers roast all our advertisers. No,
it's it's all good fun. Big Lou will help us
out in case we get into it. I'm an emergency, Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah, No, I got no problem with Big Lou or
the ones that kill all the termites. I's forget what
that one is.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Pacific Coast termites kills.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Friendly friendly way there it is.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
And Mark, I gotta I gotta know something from you.
You're living in Japan. Have you seen the Tokyo Ice Show?
Speaker 8 (17:52):
I haven't.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
But Jake Addelstein who wrote it, he wrote the book originally,
I haven't. It's on my list of things to do,
but I have not seen it.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's very good. It's a Michael manjoint. Watch it all right,
we'll put it on the list.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Man yeah you know man, Okay, yeah, yeah, he yeah,
Heat one of my favorite movie.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It's a great movie. Yeah, he's aye, it's fantastic. Yeah,
there's that delay. Japanese delight. Thank you, Mark, thank you
so much for being on the show. I'm handing over
to from one Mark to the other. In the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
K's caf I Am six forty. Andy Reesmeyer with you
this evening. More stimulating talk radio, is it ever? I'm
excited to listen tomorrow to Monks and Merrill. That'll be fun.
Election night, mister Ronerd, do you have the night offer?
What are you going to be here doing news updates? Also,
I'll be here. I'm required to be here by law,
by law.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Good.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, then we're in good hands. We're in great hands
between you Monks Merrill. It's a pretty good night. It's
a pretty good lineup. What else would you want? Literally nothing?
I said that kind of like Shatner, Yeah, what else
would you want? Is there any a better group of
guys in news? I think not. I've told that story before.
(19:17):
I told you yesterday. I had people call in tell
me about celebrity experience that they that they have had.
And we had a couple of callers, a lot of
a lot of a lot of good stories, a lot
of positive stories, a lot of Jay Leno being a
great guy. That was a good one, always a good dude.
Unless maybe you're David Letterman or Conan O'Brien, most people are.
(19:38):
Most people are fans every interaction that I've ever had
with him, which I don't I don't know him on
a first name basis or anything like that. I'm not
like Conway, who knows Leno man. But I think he's, uh,
you know, just a very thoughtful dude. The guy who
met Leno said that he met him walking his dog
in Beverly Hills. The guy was walking his dog, and
(20:00):
a year later, around the same time, he met him again,
and that Leno remembered the name of his dog a
year later. That's impressive. I couldn't do that. Oh yeah,
you know a spot spot. Yeah, I can't do Leno.
I wish I could do Lenno. I can't get my
voice to go that high here. And then also he
(20:21):
kind of goes down here.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's a We used to do a thing on the
show where we'd do like Jay Leno joke of the day,
which was just like a fun little singer, and uh,
we would all the it's a show called All Systems
go on PlayStation view and we would all come. We
would all like do like yeah, yeah, yeah, you know,
like our bad Jay Leno impressions. That guy is such
a good joke writer. I don't think people you know,
(20:43):
people know he's funny, they know he's cool, they know
he's got all the cars, they know he's a legend.
But he's just such a good journeyman of comedy. He
just is able to write like hundreds and hundreds of
jokes a day that is so difficult.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
It's harder than it looks. And go back to that
expertise thread that we've had tonight. Yeah, whether you love
Lenno or Seinfeld or what your taste is and comedians,
these guys are masters of the trade.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
They're all good, and I think that they all exist
from an era that sadly doesn't anymore. Letterman, I think
Conan I think was sort of the last of that era.
But the guys who just were in it every day
spoke to the entire country. I just have so much,
so much respect for them, and they spoke to people
who were watching. I think is really important nowadays. You
(21:30):
know everybody's watching a million different other things. But Man, Carson, Leno,
Letterman O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, those are the guys.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Took me a while to appreciate Ferguson, but he was
good man, He's incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I tried to get Ferguson's sidekick Josh Robert Thompson to
come on the show a message. You get the skeleton,
You've got a better chance of the skeleton.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh yeah, Josh Robert Thompson did Jeff the Skeleton for
years and he did all. I mean, that guy is
an unbelievable voice guy. And he's very funny too, because
it's like, you know, there's a lot of impressionists who
are who can do the voice, but they're not funny,
and this guy is like one of the like dropped
out side splitting laughter, funniest guys out there, and also
(22:13):
can just transform his voice to anybody and everything. We
are taking calls here on KFI. The number is one
hundred and five two zer're a one five three four
Give us a call, tell us what you think you
can do without any any expertise or experience whatsoever. We've
got Louie who has patiently been waiting for a very
(22:35):
long time. Louis, thank you for calling from Corona. I'm
so sorry that you've been waiting. Uh but I guess
you know, with the ninety one and the fifteen freeway
in Corona, you probably know what waiting feels like. Now
he's making you wait. I don't know, Louie. Do we
have you there? He is, Hey, Louis, I can hear you, Sarah,
I'm so sorry we made you wait.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
No problem, no problem. Yeah, I think I could try.
I can land them play, you know, worked down on
the waterfront. I'm along shoreman, so driving crane before okay,
so you know.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's one of those things where down is up and
up is down. Also, do you have a joystick that
you use to operate that crane?
Speaker 8 (23:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Yeah, double joysticks, trolley anty yeah, maybe assessment of like
and all that. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, the head the
second time, I go ahead, No, no, you go ahead.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I've been talking a lot. No no, no, no, Well
I was gonna.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Say, yeah, I think I give it a go on
a on an airplane, maybe at Zamperini Field or something
like in Torrance or you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's good. Now Corona's got an airport too.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Right right on the backside. Well, the most of the
other day local act because I grew up you know,
I have a house out here, but I grew up
on the waterfront.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So you know, are you a pedro guy or you
a long beach guy or a Wilmington guy.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Well, I was consumed in New York, born in Phoenix,
grew up in California, y. Yeah, pretty much. You know
the east close upstate New York where my mom's from Waterdleed, Albany.
So that's that's colection right now.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, yeah, where do you Okay? So we know that
the polls say that the mayor the mayor race in
New York City is pretty close. Do you think that
any anybody? You know, what are you hearing on the
on the streets as opposed to the pollsters?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, my sister just got back with my brother and
now they went back for a two week vacation, and
you know everybody's you know, actually I had a cousin
that they did one of the Kumo brothers. Oh there
was like thirty forty years ago. Which one that was
you know through I don't know. I got a call
back up and find out, uh, you know when when
(24:39):
the dad when the dad was the dad was a
governor and we met, we went back to bury my grandmother,
my mother's mother, and my uncle was telling me about
I go really so they were young, you know, young
guys at that time.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, with the election and.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
All that, you know, pretty much they just got back
to the wall.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Wow, that's an exciting time. It's going to be interesting
to see what happens with that, for sure.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
I know it's interesting in tomorrow seriously, because that was
house sitting for my sisters who lives over in Gable
on his little fig from me in Colorma. Actually that's
what I'm made right now.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well, we thank you for night, you know. Yeah, yeah,
I hear you, I hear you. How's the how's the Portocostah?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Go ahead, everything's doing good, everything's going. But actually the
second time I've called Camp, the last time I talked
to Tim when the day that Prince passed on. Oh
maybe story about that because uh, Greg Petchell used to
be buried a Polonia that was in the movie Purple Right.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Wait, so so yeah, give me give me that story
real quickly before before we hand it off to Mark Ronerd.
Tell me what what was Prince's the Purple Ones connection
to Pedro.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Well, he was. He was Apollonia, the girl that played
Patty Cato, that played Apollonia in the movie Prince. Oh yeah, no,
it will in Purple Rain. That were Prince that discovered her.
She was married to a Pigro guy named Greg Patchell.
And that's the day I was walking through Talasak. Believe
he passed on because I go, you might be nice
to see him that day when he gets to the
super Bowl. Oh yeah, I was working at night and
(26:06):
I called I called him up and I held like
I held out of like twenty twenty five minutes like this,
I said, I got a Prince.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
S that's a good. That's a good.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
I don't really want to know. Yeah, they didn't want
to know that that she was married to Greg at
that time because because she was coming up you know,
you know, it was a breakout movie.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I guess, yeah, And that was kind of a whole
stretch of Apollonia and uh, sheili I think right, and
a couple of girls who were all in his in
his band for sure. And Apollonia six was the name
of that group, Vanity Vanity six right. She was in
the lit last week, so.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
She's all the time morning into years.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh well, thank you so much. Well, thank you for calling.
I really appreciated it. So sorry to make you wait.
I'm with you that I think I could land a
plane for no reason whatsoever, just because of my own
I I guess you figure.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Wishould get you down on the one of the Hammerhead
you see.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You know that is a bucket list thing. I'm not
even kidding you. I have a document that's like ten
years old on Google Docs that's like cool field pieces
and one of them is like try to drive a crane.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
So yeah, yeah, you know, you know what amazing because
they've been doing you know, they've been showing a War
of the World, you know, with Tom Cruise driving a
hammer head from the beginning of the movie. I don't
know that, you know, the one they did the Yeah
you got to see that when he did that, he's
up there and I said, you know, he's driving pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
For you know, for wow, man, I think it's so
cool what you guys do, and that is some real
heavy machinery I have. I have a major respect for
people who are operating that kind of stuff. You know,
the margin of error, I'm sure is very small. If
you make a mistake, just like being a pilot, it's
probably curtains for you.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Well, actually, you know what happened. Timber Ly Chan actually
interviewed me one night. We had a we had a
big fire on one other docks. Oh yeah, she goes,
I would have never knew this place existed on the
wet side of Wilmington. Yeah, and she was watched and
she was setting up for the shoot and everything. And
if if you do that, if you do the back
research out of you'll see me.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh I will.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
We love Kimberly Change. She's she's a great reporter. Well,
i'll tell you what she did.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
She did a great job that night, you know, with
all the channels over there.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, well, Louis, stay on the line and we'll get
your info and then maybe we'll try to do a
segment with you with the crane. I can't promise anything.
I don't know if I should be really allowed anywhere
near there, but at the very least we'll grab a
beer down at the chowder barge next time. I'm next time,
I'm in Wilmington for sure. Louis from Corona says he
thinks he could land a plane. I'm there with him,
very good. I am six forty. We live everywhere in
(28:40):
the iHeartRadio app. I like that what Handle was saying
about a new version of car playing. I'll tell you what.
If I have to go through another iPad menu to
change the air conditioning in a car, I'm gonna lose it.
I love buttons and switches. I don't understand why we
had to do this. I know it's because Tesla decided
(29:01):
to put a big screen in their car, and everyone said, well,
we got to do that. Buttons are more expensive than
a screen. I guess they way less, there's less electrical
stuff that goes behind it. Whatever. But man, you gotta
go look through your You got to look through your
menu to put the turn signal. Like, come on, we're
taking calls talking about things that we think we can
(29:23):
do with zero evidence, experience or training. We had a
caller named Kathy who I think dropped off. So, Kathy,
if you're still listening and you want to call us
eight hundred and five to zero one, five, three four.
We'll put you back on the air here. If you
still got a minute, try to get you in before
nine pm. But now we're checking in with Jake calling
from you, KAIPA. What is it that you think that
you can do without any experience?
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Hey, Andy and crew, I said that I think iPod
host a KFI radio show without any experience.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Listen, buddy, get the line, Bucko, get in line. Now,
what what makes you feel like you have?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I guess the authority to do this? And I I
asked this because I'm wondering why I do as well.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Hey, well I'm not I'm not involved with KTLA, So
I guess I got a disadvantage of the post to you.
But that said, I I can yap a lot, just uh,
And I guess maybe some of that would be suitable
for air, at least I hope.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
So yeah, well you never know. You gotta make a tape. Yeah,
give me a hot take. Do you have any like
stories off the cuff that you can you can regale
us with?
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Oh, well, since we're talking about KFI, I will talk
about the last KFI host they met, which was Neil
Savadra at Wildford Food among bees.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Great guy.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
I also go to meet Bill Handle too. Both of
them are great people.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
How are their breaths?
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Oh my god, with Zelmans, they're great.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
It's good to hear.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
You got you gotta gotta have that sponsor. You gotta
you gotta promote the sponsors.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Gotta pay those bills.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Indeed.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Hey, I also want to say hi to Mark Ronner
and let him know I really enjoy your your newscast man.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Nice to hear from you. Call back often. Yeah, you
can send us. I would love to send a message
to his boss, to our boss.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Oh yeah, yeah. Maybe maybe make you get like some
sort of an award pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Huh uh sure.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, Well where were you gonna fit it? You've got
so many already, you have so many.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You've got so many.
Speaker 8 (31:36):
I need to get another storage container or something.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, run another storage unit. We always do that. All
your Marconi's, yes, there you go, and your Pulitzers. Well
very good. Well, thank you so much, and I'm glad
you had a good time with Savedra and uh and
uh Handle Were they both there together?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Yes, they were. As a matter of fact, that was
the day that a lady came in in uh, and
she was wearing like the shirt that says I knew
Bill Handle when he looked like this. It was one
of his high school pictures. It turns out that was
the first lady who willingly kissed Bill Handle and showed
up at this remote wow photo of the moment that
Bill was telling that story to Neil. He was just horrified.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Oh my god, Savadro was horrified.
