All five all everybody, don't you worry. We will bring
you the game in between our amazing entertainment stories.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Like also, kle is down the literally down the hall
where they're actually broadcasting this for real. Yes, it feels
irresponsible not to talk about it, but I know that
people don't.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I feel like, here's what I think. I think the
people who care about it are already listening to it,
are watching it. The people who don't are like, stop
talking about that.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Totally hit me with the animal actors.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yes, okay, so top of the nine, Heather Brooker, We're
talking about not only are the grips struggling everybody, not
only the writers and the actors.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
It's the doggies and cats.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I know. Listen, it's been hard in Hollywood all around
since COVID, really for the past five years or so.
And this is an interesting story that came out in
the Hollywood Reporter about animal actors. Something you probably don't
think a lot about when you're watching a movie. That
that duck that waddles by in the scene on the
way to the you know, lake or the river or whatever.
(03:05):
Or the horse that's you know, all the horses on Yellowstone,
those are actors. Those are paid animals who usually come
from a service, like what do they hear, oh, Studio
Animal Services. There's also Benet's bird and animals.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
They all live up in the oak Woods off.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Week right, So these you know, a lot of these
animal actor companies are saying, hey, we're being cut out
of a lot of the movies and TV shows that
are being made because people are using CGI animals. It's cheaper,
it's a lot safer. None of the none of the
animals are in danger of getting hurt in any way.
(03:44):
It probably smells a little better. But I feel like,
and I don't know what you think about this too.
I don't like it when I'm watching a movie and
you can tell the dog is CGI and the the
firs is moving just so perfectly. Maybe it's because we
grew up in the earraw of like Benji and Lassie
and like where you saw the dogs that were so
(04:05):
real in their cute little faces Homeward Bound.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Those were like real animals, and they were a little stiff,
not to give a note, not to like, not.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
To like loosen up in front of the camera.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, Listen, Sassy, I understand this is part of
your character development, but you're no Meryl Streep. Yeah, but
I think you're right, And it's almost like I know
it's cheaper, and I know that everything is a crunch,
but it is a bummer too because you also think,
like these these are real specific industries. Sure, where a
guy I think one of these guys, uh Karen mccatton
(04:39):
mcel McElhatton Studio, Animal services houses Roco, who is a dog,
and scores of other critters, dozens of cats, to a
retired squirrel and a duck named Bob, and like, what
will what are they gonna do now? It's not like
you can pivot with forty animals. Can their skills be?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Like?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
What else can these animals do?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I mean retired squirrel.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I'm sorry, yeah, retired squirrel. Yeah, he's done his time
in the movies. Sam let him rest.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
He's got a place out in Palm Springs where he goes.
He's just kicking back with Sammy Davis Junior, you know,
smoking a stogie.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I think it really just speaks to more of like
the the overall, like every part of the industry is hurting,
every part of the industry. You know, we talk a
lot about craft services and your you know, your grips
and your lighting guys, and you're the actors obviously, but
there are even you know, in the animal industry they're
hurting as well.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I used to work at Universal Studio, sorry, and we
had a very famous show though I don't. I don't
know if you ever saw.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
This Animal Actors, Yes, oh I saw it? Did I
see it? Did a hawk common Land on my arm?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
What you got? You were one of the chosen see,
So that to me was like the epitome of what
these actors do and with the animals do, and it
was so cool to watch. That show was very popular
and now they've turned it down and they've got Fast
and Furious, which is coming in the spring. But the
Animal Actors show, they had, like what do they have?
Like I think they had cats that were trained and
(06:12):
if you can train.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
A cat, oh yeah, now that's a very specialized job.
And this is what anywhere it's like, I don't think
there's a lot of other things that you can do,
not that they those people can't do other things, but
then you have all these animals and then you you know,
you you obviously got to pay for all that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I mean, that's that's really hard, and like all the
food and not cleaning and like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean, and this isn't you know, whatever type of
ranch you have to have up I'm assuming in Santa
Clarita or country.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Sure, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I worked on a show million years ago for Hot Wheels,
and we had we had animal actors. We had like
a lot of puppies, which was like amazing. Couldn't have
done it with cg it wouldn't have been the same.
We had a snake, we had a lemur, we had
a spider that crawled on my head.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And it's like those kinds of things. You know, not
to be like stupid about it, but like if that
had been fake, it would have been a real bummer.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
It would have been a real bummer. And I think audiences,
I don't want to speak for everybody, but I'm gonna
I don't think people that's what we do, that's what
we do. I'm just speaking for the world. I don't
think people like to see that, but I think there
might be a portion of the population that does because
they worry for the animals safety. You know, people are
at KFI here. We are big animal lovers. Can ask
(07:29):
Amy or Michelle they ever mean every animal story if
we are everybody on it, Tiffany. But I think in
the movies, it's just there's something like a little bit
of the magic that's missing when you don't get to
see a real dog.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I think, as long as they're treated well and in
the situations the very few situations I have been in
sets with animals, they were always like the prized possession
of the like they got trailers, they had to work
hours that were I was treated far worse as an
actor than the animaliz for real though, because I think
that Pita and like all the people are so sensitive.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
They're so sensitive. And yeah, there's a lot of regulations,
a lot of rules they have.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
To which there should be, because obviously people were abused back
in the day. Animals were abused back in the day.
It's horrible. I understand if it's a situation where it's
like Game of Thrones and there's the the Battle of
the Bastards or whatever, and you've got five hundred horses
running at each other and there's there's swords and things.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That are unrealistic. Yeah, all right, so I'll tell you
this story. I'm deathly afraid of birds.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I don't know if it's because I saw Alfred Hitchcock's
with the Birds a million. It was like all birds,
all birds.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
So one of my first acting gigs when I first
moved to la was a commercial for Cox cable and
they were like, okay, so you have to You're gonna
there's birds involved in the commercial. Are you okay with birds?
And of course I'm like, sure, no problem. I love birds.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And for any actor who's ever done the submission process,
especially on LA casting, there's a there's a part of
the website where you put your abilities yes, and you
check obviously every everything.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
And do all the things. I just seed maybe a
couple of days notice, and I'm on it. So they
were like, there's birds involved, and I was like, okay, sure,
I can handle birds. I get to set and the
director comes up and he's like, hey, so we're going
to put the chicken in your hands and you're gonna
do bub Ba. And I'm thinking what because I'm playing
a teacher and I'm like, why do I have a chicken?
(09:21):
And then I remember that in the audition they said
you're gonna you can't be afraid of birds? And I
was like, is it a live chicken?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
And they were like that's that's got to be better
than a dead You don't I'm not afraid.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I was like, is it baked chicken? Is it fried chicken?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I love all of it?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well kind of chicken and they literally hand me this
like huge chicken, and the animal wrangler was like, hold
it real close to you and you got to hold
his feet together, and they were I was terrified. You
can see me in a commercial like terrified. Oh my god,
this is so funny. And as the teacher. As the teacher, well,
apparently the kids like threw a rooster at me or
(09:59):
something like, causing to you know, obviously blacked out this
whole experience. I was like, why do I have a
rooster in the classroom? And the handler was like, here's
how you make his wings flaps. You gotta gently kind
of like rub his legs together. And I was like,
are you kidding? That is I am already terrified, and
now you want me to rub this chicken's legs together
(10:20):
they can start flapping. And so you there are so
many outtakes of me just literally screaming like while I
like hurl this bird back at this guy.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Do you think they caught on that you didn't like chickens?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
The director had a few things to say, he caught
He definitely caught on, but going to replace you on
the day. No, they got what they needed. But you
can see I'll have to show you some time if
I can find this still shot of it and this
bird flapping his wings. There's feathers and I'm looking like
terrified this chicken.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Please, let's try to post that on.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
What I made, that money I made.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
That that's right, And you know what, thanks to Sam
Altman whatever his name is, and the CGI revolution, there
may be less stories like that.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Know, I know, bring back the at least the.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Dogs, bring back the dog.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Indeed, and I agree with you, the CGI version of
a dog is nothing like the real one. Remember that
Sony Ibo, that little robot dog that they had.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Back in the nineties. You might have remembered it from
the like the real world.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
They yeah, it died, just not the same, not the same.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
All right, quick break, when we come back. What do
we want to talk about, Heather, what do you want
to Where do you want to go with this?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Let's talk about what the deal that Netflix and AMC
are making, which is kind of a big deal. Yeah,
it's a big deal. This is something that once thought
was thought not to be possible. Is Nicole Kidman involved? Oh,
let's hope.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Let's hope that's why we come to this place. I
am six forty. It's I am six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy Reesmeyer. You can
find me on the internet at Andy KTLA. We'll be
taking calls on Instagram. I guess I don't know where
our phone lines are close.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
How does that work? You take call on Instagram?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I think I'll take a DM or a video message.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I'll take a dtail, DM hits me, hit me up.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's studio with Heather Brooker, who's the entertainment extraordinaire. We
were just looking at this photo of you holding the chicken,
which was speaking of Instagram we should post. I mean,
it is a crazy image and I would not have
known that was a chicken. I would have thought that
was like a muppet. It looks so cray crazy prop
that they would have given.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
To some facing me. The chicken is facing me and
I'm like squeezing it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And it looks it doesn't look as happy as you are.
I would say, Now, you guys are both kind of
in that that we don't feel great moment.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I'm gonna I'll post this on Instagram and then I'm
going to tag you and I'll tag Kfi so everybody
can see it. They're going to run to their Instagram
right now.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Right now, bottom of the eleventh, still tied ballgame here,
who got Dodgers up to bat? Freddie Freeman coming to
the to the mountain, not the mount that's the picture,
that's the plate. That's the plate, Sam, what's happening in
this game?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Whoa?
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Two outs? Two on five?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's all tied up at five, bottom of the eleventh.
Freddie Freeman, the guy who is the big hero for
the Dodgers all of last year during the World Series.
He is up to bat. He's at eighteen walk off
a game winning walk off hits.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Let's see if he can make it nineteen. This is
a very big moment here for a Dodger fans. I
like you sounding kind of like Keith Olberman.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
The wait who Sam sounded like Keith Ope? Oh yeah,
a little bit. I like that, like.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Hedging or just like, oh no, now he's got the
sports patterned down. Oh yeah, that's right, Sam. You ever
think about going to my background in sports? You ever
think about going in to radio? I considered it, Yeah,
a growth industry.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
In studio in the studio with.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Heather, Heather Brooker Hello, I hate to take a diversion.
I just thought that I would again, I have the
obligation of listen.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
We got to give the people the news right right now,
the news is all about the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That's right, Go Dodgers, Go Boys in Blue. AMC and
Netflix are teaming up, and and what is is that?
Is that unusual because Netflix had been trying to had
they had been sort of like there was animosity there.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah. So AMC theaters for a long time has sort
of been shunning, if you will, or saying we're not
going to take Netflix movies. Those are not real motion pictures.
We only want the ones from the big legacy studios,
that sort of thing. But they made an agreement to
take on K Pop Demon Hunters this past summer, and
it was a huge hit. It was such a big hit,
(14:42):
it was the number one movie at the box office
for several weeks. So AMC, I think, is doing a
little bit of rejiggering with their plans and they're going,
wait a minute, maybe there's some money to be made
here in these Netflix movies, with these theatrical releases.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It's not like AMC is like making money handover foot, No.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
And that's the problem is they're not nobody leverage to
say no, they really don't. And Netflix is dying to
get into the more Oscar contendered, more Awards contender races,
So they want to get their movies out in the
theaters because nothing, I think is more exciting to see
them than hearing their name called Netflix at the Academy
(15:23):
Awards or the Golden Globes or you know those kinds
of things. So what they're doing. AMC has now agreed
to re release K Pop Demon Hunters this weekend.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Right, Uh, I'm clear in my schedule.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
We're going up. Oh my gosh, this song is in
my head NonStop. I have a twelve year old.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
It's like all we I do.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So yeah, So it's going to be back in theater.
So if you missed it the first time around, or
if you've got kids who want to go see it again,
if you can't get the music out of your head,
like we played here at iHeart all the time, I'll
be walking through the halls, I'll hear any number.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Of it's a real cultural moment, yes, and I will
say that it's it's a cultural moment so much that
like you could probably go up to people at a
Halloween party this week and ask them if they're K
Pop Demon Hunters, and they'll probably say no, this has happened,
this has happened to me last weekend. But at least
that you'll be on trend. It's a it's a legitimate question.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It's for sure on trend.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
One of my friends, Vna crown Holme was just on
KTLA doing like a diy Halloween costumes from Netflix shows
and she was dressed as Roomy from K Pop Teaman
Hunters and showed how she like made her costume. Di
whied it it is. We're going to see those costumes
everywhere on all the kids, parents to you know, maybe
(16:39):
even like you know, twenty somethings. So it's a cultural
moment for sure. But more than anything, it signals a
change and a shift at the box office. We are
going to start seeing more streamers. I wouldn't be surprised
if we start seeing Warner Brothers releases, paramount releases in
theaters now. It's going to signal a change for sure,
(17:00):
because the box office revenues for AMC are something like
what did I say, like twenty percent behind COVID, So.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
They're they're struggling recovered from that.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Never recovered from that. I can't tell you how many
movies I've seen lately where the theaters are empty for
opening weekends of huge movies. Nobody's going to the movies anymore. Well, okay,
how much is an AMC movie ticket right now? I
think it's about maybe twenty nineteen twenty.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I think it's I think it's like with tax, it's
twenty one dollars. Yeah, yeah, which for a family of four,
that's that's a hundred well, no, eight, that's eighty eighty bucks.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Well, I don't know. Math has venofvers.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Around, but let's just say, like if you know you
got a paper park, all right, it's it's expensive, but
it's you know, it's not It's not five.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Ninety five or whatever like it was two years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And I think that obviously, now that you have the
option of staying at home, everybody in COVID, by the way,
invested in the eighty five inch TV. They got that,
they got the soundbar. It's never been easier to create
a situation at home that is in a lot of
ways superior to going to a movie theater, and especially
when you're talking about these windows that are the same
for theaters versus at home. Why why would we, you know,
(18:07):
load up the the uh, the Econa line and pop
on down to the cineplex.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And I think that is the big question that the
theaters are struggling with. That's why you're seeing so many
theaters now have immersive experiences.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Alamo draft House smiles like it makes sense for the future.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Totally makes sense. That's why you've got these luxury movie
theaters where you can like sit back in your recliner,
you can order meals, you know, the din in theaters,
you can have dinner and the movie right there.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
You know what real luxury would be. Let's add to this.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yes, it's all of the that that you were saying,
But like, if I go with my mom, I want
there to be a person who's on hand to explain
the plot points to her, just like at home, so
I don't have.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
To you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, I want to be like, I don't know, ask
Clark or whatever. You know, Clark, Yeah, please explain to wait,
who's that man? Who's that man?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Is that Matt Damon?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
We need like an elderly interpreter that's right. They do
need to do stuff though, up the game make it
a little more interesting, for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And I think that, like, you know, I love going
to movies, and I love the idea of a movie.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
But it's hard to say.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Like in this day and age, you know, talk a
lot about how kids don't want to kids the twenty
year olds don't want to go out to drink anymore.
But it's thirty five dollars for a martini, So what
do we expect them to do?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
My husband always uses that line for the movie, it's
nine dollars beer night. Remember that from four? I think
it was forty year old version. Right now, it's like
nineteen dollars nine.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
They had a deal going at Home State, which is
a great a great tex Mechs Breakfast Taco Place San
Antonio represent Texas, not La Tacos.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I understand that. But they had their deal was during
the Dodger game.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Nine dollars Margarita's whoa big saving.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Big saving.
Speaker 2 (19:46):

a Little, Tears for Fears.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
A little Everybody wants the World of the World, which
I think is a.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Perfect song for the World series. Right game three, game
is still tied? What are we the bottom of the
top of the twelfth?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Now? Yep?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Do you think they're gonna still be going on when
I come here tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I would hope not. It'll be a long night. It'll
be a long night. Are you have your hands fully? Uh?
Just sweat? Oh? Are you just? Are you just in
a puddle over there? Oh?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah, no. This is as a sports fan, these are
the moments that you live for. But right now, Dodgers
that they're doing a replay to see if a play
at third was out.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
The I'm called it out.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
But when you look at the replay, the runner for
the Blue Jays made it on time and it looks
like it's gonna be bases loaded with two out, so man,
anything that goes on and there's two out right now,
So if it's anything up in the air, the Dodgers
have a good chance of you know, just catching a
pop f line ending the inning. But they are going
to have to pull something here what they're pitching if
(22:11):
they're going to get out of us live.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, if anyone isn't watching now or wasn't watching before,
they're watching now, So hey, if you're if you're out
there in the world though and still listening, interested about
news and stuff in southern California, especially weather, We've got
a Santa and a wind event, the first of the season.
Joining us now is National Weather Service UH National Weather
(22:33):
Services Kristin Lund, meteorologist with the NWS, to talk about
this week's Santa Ana wind event. What should we know
going into the next couple of days.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Good evening, Like you mentioned, my name is Kristin going
starting tomorrow morning, really tonight, winds will start to pick
up as they shift a little bit more east. Along
with this, we have high pressure which is causing the
winds to to increase. So high pressure more in the
central Valley of California. This will cause the winds to
(23:06):
downslope and warming across La and Ventura County. The winds
we have wind advisories out for western La County and
eastern Ventura County. It's not a typical Santa Anna. It
has a little bit more easterly component, so it's not
going to be hitting the western San Fernando Valley and
(23:28):
Agora Hill area as hard as it usually does. It
will be more focused over Ventura, so down to cam
Rio potentially.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
So those are are those sundowner winds? Is that what
those are called?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
No, that would be Santa Ana sundowners are specifically for
the Santa Nas Range, the south southern coast of Santa
Barbara County copy that.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Okay, So we are still talking about the Santa Anna event,
but nothing compared to what we had in January. We're
talking about thirty to forty fifty mile an hour winds
as opposed to correct close to one hundred mile.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
In hour wins.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Yeah. In January, we're a different regime kind of weather pattern.
It was a lot stronger and it had what we
called a mountain wave. This kind of is how the
wind interacts with the mountain and lines up perfectly, and
that was able. That kind of is why, like Pasadena
was able to see more winds than we typically see
with Santa Ana.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And what do you recommend or what's the National Weather
Service recommend for people to do just to make sure
that they don't have any issues of damage or anything
like that.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Coming out of this.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Yeah, so it's a very like moderate Santa Anna. It's
not too strong, but I definitely recommend you know, secure
outdoor objects. It's hopefully you've already done that, but you know,
be careful, especially if you're driving by like vehicles of
high profile or high profile vehicles. We do have a
fire weather component to this that's more of in the
(24:50):
mountains down to like Santa Susanas. So we could see
with lower humidities, the wind and the heat. We do
have heat advisories out which is a concern for the
per sensitive to the heat. We do recommend like you know,
checking in with your neighbors, making sure you're hydrated, be
careful of anything that might start fire. Sure, and then
(25:13):
we still have some really dry fuels.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Right and to that point as we go further into
the fire season, and I know it's no longer a
fire season, it's a fire year. We always say that
on TV when we talk about this, But I think
that it's easy to roll your eyes because you know
it is different where we have different levels of fuel,
different levels of fire behavior, at least fire weather behavior rather.
But as we look into December January, what kind of
(25:40):
things do you think we are going to try to
do differently hopefully or what are we going to be
looking for so that we don't have a repeat of
what happened in January. Obviously we cannot stop whatever the
wind will do, but in terms of do we have
the same kind of brush clearance issues, do we have
the same kind of dry fuel, or you know what,
(26:01):
what are we looking at as far as that.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
Goes personally, I can't talk about the brush clearing and
as far as as far as the vegetation. Really, we
know what the fire agencies tell us. They they have
told us that there was a little bit of improvement
in the fuels or the vegetation from this past storm
we had, but we're still around the critical levels. As
(26:27):
for the January storm, like that was a very rare event.
I'm not saying it can't happen again, but it's very rare,
so it's seeing wind that strong and that widespread really
doesn't come that often. But if we don't get more rain,
because we are in a law Ninia pattern that tends
to be a little bit more drier for our area
and pushing the rain more up north to sent northern
(26:49):
California or northern to the Pacific Northwest, so we could
have some a drier winter. You know, We've seen plenty
of years where we would get a big storm in
the beginning and then dry for the rest of the winter.
So that's something to keep in mind. Make sure if
you can to fireproof your house, take steps. I know
(27:10):
there's local emergency management communities that help do that and
tell you what to tell you how you can improve
and make sure you have multiple ways of getting alerts
and knowing and following like anything your local emergency managers
or local officials.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Mentioned right on. Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Talking to meteorologists Kristen Lynn from the National Weather Service
about the sant Ana wind event that we'll start to
see this week. Temperature is going to be a little
bit above average here going into the weekend. Not a
lot of chance for rain. Nothing in the forecast right
as far as rain goes right correct.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Unfortunately that's correct.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
All right, Well, there it is.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We'll see real soon here as we continue to talk
about what's going on in southern California.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Dodgers update.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
They dodged a cannonball just now. They escaped a bases
loaded situation. Edmund gets the playoff to first place to Freeman.
They get out of the inning. It's going to the
bottom of the twelfth tied at five. Dodgers are still alive.
Dodgers are still alive, and so are we. Thanks to
Kristen lenn from the National Weather Service too for that
(28:22):
update about what's happening in southern California. I am six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy Reestmeyer.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Very soon, mister George Norri will be taking over here
with Coast to Coast George on the line tonight.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
What's happened on the Big Show.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Rat Show Tonight, Andy, We're going to tack on ancient
codes and what they mean, and then we're gonna do
a little paranormal investigating.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Hey, what do you think about these UFOs that have
been spotted under the water.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Hundreds of them.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Yeah, pretty crazy. What do you make of it? Not submarines,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Oh all right, well, I'm looking forward to hearing about
all the things coming up on coast to coast course
right here in KFI AM six forty starting at ten pm.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Thanks George, see you soon.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, we were talking about this UFO tracker, you know,
And it's the user submitted, so it's not like NORAD
is necessarily verifying any of these. But a popular app
has recorded thousands of sightings of unidentified submersible objects near
US waterways, and at least one high ranking US Navy
(29:33):
official is worried about it posing a threat to national security.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
The website is.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Called Enigma and it is the largest queriable historical siting
database for global UFO sightings. That means you can search
for them, and they have received reports of over thirty
thousand unidentified flying objects an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena UAPs UFOs
since twenty twenty two, that's when they launched, but as
(30:01):
of August, they've also been looking at objects rising from
the depths to the sea or plunging into the water
without so much as a splash. Enigma has logged more
than nine thousand mysterious sidings within ten miles of US shorelines.
US states with the most reported UFO and USO sidings
(30:23):
were California and Florida, both, of course the top three
states with ocean coastline. So there's you know, you'd have
more maybe sidings in a place where you have more coast.
You know, you're not going to have these being seen
in Indiana, at least unless you were in Lake Michigan.
I guess, by the way, would you call Lake Michigan
(30:45):
a beach runner?
Speaker 5 (30:48):
I wouldn't call it anything.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I mean, do you think that a beach must be
on an ocean or can a beach be on on
a regular ol.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Like I believe our former neighbors in Indiana considered it
a beach they and went there to enjoy various forms
of recreation.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Chicagoans would say, yeah, let's go to the beach, and
they'd be talking about Lake Street beach or uh, just
north of Navy pierro by Lincoln Park.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
I never went, Well, you've missed out.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Because when it's nice in Chicago, the two or three
days out of the year that it's nice, it is
a beautiful city.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
It is in the winter, it's brutal, and in the
summer it's also brutal.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yeah, it's I went the I went one year for
rib Fest, rib Fest, rib Fest, okay, yep, and it
was so sticky, like everything about it was sticky.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
The ribs. Oh yeah, you don't want to sweat while
you're eating. That grosses me out.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Oh man, nice, nice, like blues fest playing, you know,
eating ribs, listening to blues sticky blues, sticky ribs, sticky humidity.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Well, I mean, I've got to Chicago listen to blues,
Buddy Guys, Legends is great and concerts in Grant Park.
But Lollapalooza. I've been to Lollapalooza. Yeah. But yeah, the
whole beach thing sand gets in all your stuff. No bueno,
no boena for you. But I'll tell you what I have.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You know, some of my very close friends have an
issue with the beach being anywhere other than on the ocean.
And I think that that's a that's an ignorant perspective.
They tell me, I can't call it a beach if
it's on a body of water that's not an ocean.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
I would shun those people if I were you shun them.
I think we're doing it right now. Okay, they're all
watching lock them. By the way, this Dodgers game is
still going on. Yeah, you can't leave till it's over.
I don't know what I'm gonna do here. I mean,
obviously you'll have to cut into coast to coast. The
public relies on you.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I am the.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Voice of the Dodgers. Sure, I'm Steven Nelson.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Heah. You can't just leave people hanging now like this.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
It's really crazy. I know there's a lot. It's just
like you go up and down, up and down, up
and down emotions. You know, being a fan of stuff
is hard work. Where we're at right now, I believe
we are going into the top of the thirteenth, top
of the thirteenth, Lucky thirteen. Now, Sam, what's your opinion
here on on what's going on with the bullpen and
the how the how are boys in blue looking?
Speaker 4 (33:08):
They're scraping the barrel right now and going just to
get out of that jam that they were in when
they had the bases loaded in the last inding they
had to bring Clayton Kershaw, the Legend up to go
and get that last out. They were really hoping that
they wouldn't have to go and see the top of
the thirteenth and right now it's everybody at Dodger Stadium
(33:29):
right now is watching this game with baited.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Brat right there's a lot of prayer praying going on
there and Chavez ravine.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
They are getting their money is worth though, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I bet if you you know, as long as if
they win, it'll feel even better. But as far as
like getting a good baseball game, they're getting a game
and a half. That's what time did this start?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
It start Sunday? I think yeah, okay, I think it
started at five?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Right? Was the first pitch of five? Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
So when will we see Freddy Freeman and Mooki bats
and show hey back to bat?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Well, hopefully the they're going to get the bottom of
the inning coming up. I'm not sure who is up
for bat for the Dodgers going into the bottom, but
it's yeah, it would be lovely if it was the
power stroke of the lineup and we will see going in.
I've I've been paying, I've been like the octopus playing
the drums, keeping you and so far I'm trying to
(34:24):
keep as much attention on this as possible. So the
Laker game just ended, so trapping is gonna be. You
were hoping that this game ended during regulation, because it
would give at least an hour and a half gap
between where you're gonna have people rushing out of sporting event. Now,
if this game ends and the Laker game just ended,
(34:45):
you're gonna see a pile up.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
This is a good point. This is a very good point. Yeah,
there's a couch in the newsroom. Both of you might
as well just stay here tonight. Yeah, well I don't
have to go. I don't have to go on the
other side of the hill, so I'm fine. But yes,
I think that anyone who wants to stay here is
welcome to It is a very quiet place to sleep.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
It's surprisingly comfortable. It's a very nice building. Of all
of the radio.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Stations I've worked at, this is the most comfortable one
to sleep at.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
This is the one where you could be a squatter.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yes, well, Ryan Seacrest doesn't use his dressing room very
much anymore, so I find myself taking a quick nap
power nap in the Seacrest dressing room, which own private bathroom.
It's the entire sixth floor I see. Do you notice
you notice that the sixth the six button doesn't work anymore?
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Oh, I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, Seacrest's got a whole pad up there. Man, you
should see it. Its occurred to me.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
I've been with the company for like twenty something years,
and I have never been to the sixth floor.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
I'm not actually sure if there is a sixth floor
of this building. It's like the thirteenth floor of an office.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
There is.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
Yeah, it's up there, it's up there. Yeah, I don't
think I've been to the fifth floor. I feel floor.
It's nice.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
You can go out onto the balcony and like, actually
like hang out outside. There's a grill. It's not bad.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
No way, No, why are we doing barbecues? They have
functions there. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Well I did never get invited to these functions. I'll
stick around long enough.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Ah yeah, well, speaking of being around long enough, what
a night it has been. Thanks to all the meteorologists
who called in talking about the Santa Ana win event.
We're obviously keeping an eye on Hurricane Melissa. This Dodger
game I thought was gonna be done at eight o'clock.
Here we are at ten o'clock, still watching We'll be
(36:20):
back here tomorrow night for an another game. It's going
to be hot enough tomorrow. I think you're allowed to
wear shorts. Oh, with that kind of tease, I don't
know who wouldn't want to listen to the radio. I'm
Andy Reesmeyer. Thanks for being with us on KFI AM
