Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's I am six forty, Andy Reesemeyer here with you
this evening on this Monday, October twentieth.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The big story today that is still wreaking some havoc
on the Internet world, that of course, is basically synonymous
with our real world. Is there really a difference anymore?
The AWS services have been down all day, impacting other
Internet services beyond Amazon, Sling, Television, AT and T, Snapchat, ESPN, Venmo, Netflix,
(00:41):
even Apple TV. How that works? I don't know. Ring
that's a big one. People's home security system is not working.
Joining us via the telephone how I antiquated but sort
of quaint in a sense. Mister rich DeMuro, who you
hear here on KFI on the weekends, but also you
see every morning on the KTLA Morning News. Rich, thanks
(01:03):
for staying up so late to talk to me.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Hey, Andy, thanks for having me. I appreciate you having
me on to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I got to ask you, you know, you've been kind
of leading every newscast all day today and I was
just looking over at the screen here in the studio
and KTLA was up, and as I was coming into
this show, you were on KTLA in a package earlier
being interviewed about the same thing. Like I said, a
lot of it has been resolved, but some of it
is not. It's still important enough that it's, like I said,
(01:31):
leading the newscast in a a lot of situations. Is
this really that big of a deal?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, it's okay. So you have the outage, which is
a big deal for every single person say that experienced it,
but you also have this goes to the core of
our internet today. And what's happening is that there are
three companies that are controlling a large swath of the
Internet as we know it, and that is Amazon Amazon
(02:00):
Web Services. You've got Google Google Cloud Services, and you've
got Microsoft with Azure. Those companies are controlling so many
of the servers that every single company it just mentioned,
a whole bunch of them. I can add more to
the list. Reddit, Disney Plus, Roadblocks, Robinhood, Coinbase, Dual, Lingo, McDonald's, Starbucks,
(02:24):
Lift Airlines, Wow, Delta United. So when you talk about
the impact, yes, is it annoying that you couldn't check
your roadblocks your coinbase today?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
But the bigger issue is that the Internet was supposed
to be this place that could never go out because
it was a network of millions of servers around the world.
And now what we're doing is we're consolidating so much
of the pathways of the Internet between these giant data
centers that when one goes down, it's a domino.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So, I know, it's kind of all in the cloud,
sort of nebulous. It's hard to sort of put your
finger on exactly what happened today for the for the
regular layperson like me. I obviously you know, but AWS
stands for Amazon Web Service, And is there an analogy
that you can use to sort of explain exactly what happened?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Okay, so all the traffic goes to the server, and
it has these addresses that the server defined.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So if you're if you're.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Trying to check your snapchat, it gets in the information,
it goes Okay, let's route you to that server so
you can find your Snapchat snaps.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Are you surprised at the server? Ahead?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Go ahead, Yeah, So the server that controls that traffic
just went out. It's like a light going out at
an intersection. And when that light goes out, nobody knows
what to do, so things are moving slow. These services,
not all of them went out completely, but they were
slower because people had you know, these this this data
had to find its way. That's the basic easiest way
(03:49):
I can explain what happened to a person that you know,
I'm not in the data center. I think we're going
to have a full report on what happened here. But
we do know it was not a cyber attack, which
is good.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
That was my next question.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But you did say though that maybe it would give
people ideas perhaps, Well.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
That's the thing I mean this is, you know, by
attacking these data centers, you know, that's that's a major
issue because as we know now, so many of these
companies are are having their data in the centered. It
reminds me of like when you see a recall at
like a Trader Joe's, and all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
it's the same chicken that's recalled at Trader Joe's, that's
(04:28):
recalled at Walmart, that's recalled that Whole Foods, because they're
all using the same distributor. That's what's happening here, and
so all these companies are sort of connected in the
fact that they all rely on these servers that are
in the cloud. And you mentioned it's in the cloud,
and it's kind of, you know, nebulous. But the reality
is when you have a startup, when you have a
company and you're starting that instead of setting up your
(04:51):
own server on a rack in a corner of your office,
you say, wait, why wouldn't I just rent that space
from Amazon Web Services and I can scale up or
scale down as necessary.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And in that beauty of these services, in theory, it's
even more stable than something you would have locally in
your house. But obviously in certain situations like well I
said what we saw today and then even back in
twenty twenty three, there are sometimes that this goes down.
Are you are you surprised that it took this long
for things to come back up. I was at Whole Foods,
I mean an hour ago, probably just grabbing a quick
(05:24):
coffee on the way in, and I couldn't use their
payment Kiosk because it was still broken, which is wild
to me.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Well, it's not just like you can flip a switch
and everything comes back up. So and some of this
is done to keep the integrity of the system, so
it's not as if you find the problem and you say, oh,
the problem's fixed, let's just turn everything back on. They
have to turn things on in a very slow, methodical
way to make sure that ay, you know, they're still
investigating what's going on. B there's probably some software update
(05:56):
or something that was pushed to a certain subset of
their systems that ended up backfiring, and so they had
to figure out how to roll that back. So am
I surprised that not everything's back up. No, But it's
funny you say that, because every time we have one
of these impacts and the lot you know, we saw
the CrowdStrike impact, we saw you know, we've even seen
aws go down in the past several times. These just
(06:19):
seem to get bigger and bigger and impacting more people
worldwide because so much of the Internet relies on these
main infrastructure cloud services.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Wow wow wow wow.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, hopefully all of that will get patched up. And
I was checking down detector all day. It looks like
most of the issues that people had with RING are resolved,
which is great because I know people were really worried
about that with their home security systems. Didn't ever think
that that all could be tied into that and makes
you kind of think.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Wow, we really rely a lot on the internet.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, it's amazing how everything just stops when it
stops working well.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
And for Ring as an example, you know, I've got
Ring and I have a cellular backup to Ring, right,
so my Internet goes down, It'll still phone home using cellular.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But then you think.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
About, oh, wait a second, what if the servers that
it's trying to talk to don't work? So all the
connections in the world don't matter. And for me personally,
my kids were like, hey, you didn't set the alarm today.
I said, I couldn't set the alarm today.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
No, I know. Can I tell you what happened? Can
I tell you a story? I had the exact opposite issue.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I know, it got one minute here before we're out
of here, four o'clock this morning, wake up, get ready
to do the morning show. Had to leave the house,
let the dog out first, right, the alarm was on, sure,
and I didn't know that this had happened. And I'm
unable to turn the alarm off, so of course the
time's out. Oh the alarm starts going off. It's going
like crazy, and those ring alarms are loud, and I'm
(07:47):
like opening the phone, trying to reset the phone and
try to get the thing right. I don't know what's happening,
you know, I don't understand what's going on. I don't
know what's down and it's it's like I got one
eye open because I've been awake for five seconds and
it's the you know, you know what of of night,
and the alarm makes your brain scramble to the point
where you can't even think what's going you know, what's next.
(08:08):
So I rip it out of the wall. Right, It's
got a backup battery. It's in the closet where we
have all this stuff. I've zipped it up in a coat.
Still super loud, alarm is still going. I put a
little paper clip in the butt of it. Right, I'm
like run around the house trying to find a little
paper clip to reset it. Okay, it's finally silent for
a second. About two minutes later, thing comes back on.
(08:30):
I'm losing my mind. I finally took it out and
put it under the couch cushion. Then I put a
seat on another chair on top of the couch to
sort of cover it tightly so I could actually hear
myself think, and I kept finding I kept resetting it
and resetting it and resetting it. Eventually it shut up,
but it took like an hour and a half of
(08:50):
just dealing with this thing wailing, and it's like, this
is crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You know, there's no okay, Yeah, I know we got
a run.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
But I will tell you a good lesson out of
what you just said is this happens with lots of people.
Like they're probably trying to reset their password or reset
their router or try to what's going on here?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You don't know?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And so looking at a site like down detector, I
check it every day just to see if there's any
major widespread issues. It's a good place to start, and
then of course follow me because I'll post about it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The other thing I learned this morning is that it
doesn't matter how long the alarm goes off at my house.
My neighbors will not call me to see if everything
is okay.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
That's sad, but a reality of a big city, that's
how it goes.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Hey, we'll see you tomorrow morning, and of course back
here on Saturday on KFI rich on Tech, when's your
first hit Tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Thanks Andy, early, too early, all right, I'm on it
like five.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
All right, go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
We gotta I gotta make up some from that the
last time, Rich Demiro Rich on Tech KT and KFI.
This is the KFI. Uh well, this is KFI. It's
KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
My name is Andy Reesmeyer. Be with you here all
the way until ten pm. If you'd like to get
in touch and say hello, you can find me a
couple different ways. There's, of course the old trustees. Send
(10:14):
him a DM at Andy KTLA on Instagram or Twitter
x if you like that. Not on Blue Sky. Didn't
figure that one out. Also not on MySpace anymore, had
to shut it down. Figured the band probably wasn't going
to make it too much invested in that MySpace had
a good one. We can also take your call or
(10:38):
a message at least if you want to find us
on the iHeartRadio app, you can look forward the little
microphone button and leave a message to talk back. And
then if you say something and you want us to
listen to it and you want us to play it
on the show, we will do that. So feel free
to do that. Mark, Ronerd, how are we doing to
night on this Monday evening?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
We the royal Wei? Yea, we are doing fine? How
are we? Yeah? We are great? Sam, how are we?
I'm fantastic? Yeah, Richie, what's that like? Amazing?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Wait a second, just hang on. Rona and I have
burned out. All are feeling goods. So they say I'm
hollow inside. Yeah, the threshold has been lowered, the exasperation
of adulthood up against the stark contrast of the hope
of youth.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Sam, You're that hope of youth. Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
A flight headed to Alix on Monday was diverted back
to where it came from in Omaha after pilots believed
that there was a security incident on board. Flight Aware
says an American Airlines flight operated by sky West took
off from Omaha at around four forty pm and then
about twenty minutes later return for an undisclosed reason. Unconfirmed
(11:50):
reports on social media those are always good good job
KTLA Printing unconfirmed reports on social media. They claimed that
the flight was diverted after multiple people attempted to gain
access to the cockpit during the flight. However, a spokesperson
for the Federal Aviation Authority told KTLA the cause for
the diversion was due to a problem with the plane's
internal phone communications system. It is hard to believe anything
(12:15):
you see on the internet, so according to the FAA,
the diversion was not, as you might see on the internet,
a result of multiple people trying to gain access to
the cockpit from Epile Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska. Apparently, the
knocking on the cockpit door was actually the cabin crew
attempting to make contact with the pilots because the phone
(12:37):
wasn't working. This is kind of interesting too, So whenever
we reach out to federal departments, whenever the news media
wants to see further clarification about something that happened, there's
a person who is called the PIO, the public information officer,
generally speaking at least like in the county or in
(12:57):
the police officer's fire department, and they'll get back to
you with some But of course, right now there's a
government shutdown, so some federal agencies like the FAA are
responding to media requests such as the one we were
just talking about with a note that due to the
(13:17):
shutdown of the federal government, the FAA is no longer
able to respond to regular media inquiries, but I guess
Katla did get a response sometime later, saying that there
was no security related incident at the airport and that
was just a social media rumor. Cool love it, very fun,
good stuff speaking of Los Angeles and things that make
you crazy. You know, I get served up on the
(13:40):
old Instagram's the TikTok when I'm scrolling all kinds of
really good LA specific comedy. For some reason, I have
like worked my algorithm perfectly so that I get jokes
that are geared exactly towards Los Angeles because I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
About La all the time. But love LA.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
This one comedian came up with a bunch of trigger words.
Every single sentence here will trigger your anxiety or your
stress if you're an Angelino.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Let's see if this works. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Your friend is visiting from out of town. She's always
wanted to see Cali.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
CALLI number one. We've said it on the show before.
Don't call it CALLI unless you're ll cool J.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
CALLI. You pick her from Lax and driver her to
her airbnb and near MacArthur Park.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What that's not even that far but that does sound
that the lax pickup is a crazy situation.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
At three pm, she asked you to drive her to
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She wants to spend the
rest of her day there before going to downtown for
the nightlife.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ah, so lax to MacArthur Park to Hollywood and then
she wants to go downtown.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Visit scenic skid Row while you're.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I don't know, there is some fun night life in
downtown La a seven grand. It's a cooled whiskey bar there.
Get play some pool.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Also, when people say Callie, don't they generally mean to
be referring to the cartel in Colombia.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Right that we have.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Banned Calli as a nickname for California, the only people
who call it Cali are the people who are not
from here. It's the same way that people who say
Angelino's are almost always politicians speaking to us and no
one who actually lives here.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Tomorrow, you're gonna drive Gone at dasney Land for the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Leading Oh, oh my god, why does this make me
so anxious?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Tomorrow You're gonna drive Gone at disney Land for the afternoon,
leave at five pm and make it back in time
to catch the sunset at Venice Beach.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Oh my, this is what a day. Huh.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
If she has time, she wants to meet up with
her and uncle who live in San Bernardino. They only
live seventy miles away.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Your old mind.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
This is such a good specific joke that only people
who live here understand. And that, my friends, is the
power of local media and local content. Coming up, We've
got so much show still to get to. We're gonna
go inside Chipotle's celebrity card Potlee for life. Who's getting it,
(16:03):
Who's got it? Who wants it? And speaking of dinner,
would you believe when dinner time is is changing the
expectations for when dinner might be served culturally? There's a
shift happening. Something is a foot. Plus the latest news.
And speaking of news, we're gonna check in with our
(16:25):
friend Mark Ronner.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, Living.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
A glamorous life here on this Monday. It's KIM six forty.
I'm Andy Reesmeyer. Thanks for joining us this evening. Keeping
an eye here on the ALCS Game seven.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Bottom of the.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I just lost it. I think it's the top of
the eighth. Now blue Jays have just scored. Now Toronto's
leading the Mariners four to two.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Three Mariner's rep three to one. Just a second, it's
the end of the seventh now, But end of the
seventh it was. They were down and they needed a
big time home run just now, and they just got it.
So they they're now ahead, and whoever wins this game
takes on the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Whoever wins this game takes on the Dodgers this Friday.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Very excited about that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I know there's been a lot of debate whether or
not we think we would rather play and by we,
I mean the Dodgers would rather play Seattle or Toronto.
Both are great teams, obviously, I think Toronto was at
least according to David Pingalore, who's never been wrong about
anything in his life, told me that he thought that
it probably would be better to play the Mariners.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
So we will see. Not looking like.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You know the night is over yet at least four
the Blue Jays, who are now in the lead four
to three.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
ALCS Game seven will keep you posted.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Currently on a break right now looking at the Burger
King Halloween Special combo there, so any information will bring
it to you whenever we get it.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
How about that I get a whopper? You may you
want a whopper?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I'm really hungry right now, you take it. We'll give
you a whopper. Well, what post made a whopper? How
about that Mark Ronner?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
You want one? No, but thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't know that I was. I hadn't committed to
really doing it now, but now I feel like I
have to. You're eating, Sam, You're eating right now. I'm starving, dude.
I just had a snack. I'm not going to order
you food while you're eating already. It was a it
was a ding dong. A ding dong with you, if
you will, exactly very good. We tend to have a
lot of those around here. I wonder if Conway has
something to do with you know what, I wouldn't be
(18:34):
surprised if the ding dong people sponsored the show.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
They should send some free ones, right, one would think, Hostess.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know what, I'm surprised we don't have any Zelmans
laying around here, or does or does mister does mister
Handle keep them all to himself.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
He apparently like vacuums those down.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, I'm looking forward to trying them, hopefully, someday I'd like,
of course, you know, dodger Mania. This is kind of interesting, right,
Dodgers are playing first game the World Series will be
on Friday, and of course now local media, especially at
KTLA and everybody else, you know, we got to figure
out what to talk about for the next four or
five days.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
We still want to cover it.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So this is sort of just the greatest hits of
what the Dodger nation has been up to over the
last week or weekend or so.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Have you won the nationally that it was amazing?
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Oh my gosh, I love the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Go Dodgers, Go Blue.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Go Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Yeah, we're gonna win the World Series. The Dodgers going
back to the World Series for a second year in
a row after sweeping the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's great to be a Dodgers fan any day. Where's
that guy from? Its great to be a Dodgers fan
any day, any day.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I love the Dodgers, cool, cool accent.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Day over in Little Tokyo, fans vindicated. I feel like
it like reaffirmed our faith. You obviously, we all celebrate
him a lot in this neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I've not been mine.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That really, you know, goes without saying, but I will
say it again. This man had a rough few weeks
and then appears in what what could be considered at
least depending on who you talk to. Not Derek Jeter
won't say so, but many other sports experts saying one
of the greatest showings of any athlete in history?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Is he the greatest of all time?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Was one of the articles I saw earlier today, and
it was like a legitimate conversation based on that game alone.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Obviously we all celebrate him a lot in this neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I've not been my husband pull over it so that
I could get a picture through a show Hey, and
what is being called his greatest game ever?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh my goods, show hey, TONI became.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
The first player in history to hit three home runs,
strike out ten batters, and pitch six shutout innings.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I thought I was dreaming, showed up and showed out.
You know what he did for that one game was
anybody get you know, for a whole career.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Has done it again?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Done? When he hit the third home run, I was like,
that didn't really happen, Like the unreal and during that
third home run, somewhere in the crowd was David Flores.
Very unexpected.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
The emotions are still having hit hit home yet, but
I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Surprised and also very eager to sell that ball. Have
you heard this?
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Oh yeah, anybody catching that ball? You kind of understand.
He had one of one of the better pitching outages
outings ever and he hit three home runs. That last
home run ball is going to go for at least
a million.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You think, So how much did the fifty fifty up
going for? Do you know? Oh geez, we got to
look that on or do you know? I do?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Not enough maybe to make a down payment on a
modest house in La.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Oh don't now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I
will say this.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
There was a funny joke that I saw online that said,
don't don't be shocked if in like ten fifteen years
you see a bunch of kids in La called, like,
you know, show Hey Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That's great?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, absolutely, okay, I found out how much Richie, you're
gonna play this too?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
All right, let's go.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
How much did the show Hey o tani fifty to
fifty home run ball? Which, uh, the fifty to fifty happened,
what like last last year, last fall? How much did
it sell for? It was a record sale? Sam, Do
you know what the fifty to fifty ball is?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Oh yeah, No, I know which one it is, and
I have the beauty of the Internet.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I looked it up. He's the first player. You looked
it up already? Yeah, no, I was. I didn't know
we were playing a game. I would have I would
have I would have not cheated. But now I'm not
going to give you the answer, Mark, would you still
like to play a game? One million dollars?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Right?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Richie? Do you have any ideas I was gonna say,
like fifty k fifty? You think only fifty k? Wow?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
You think of a well equipped Toyota Camry could be
had for the price of the iconic? Very very true.
So of course it refers to the It was twenty
twenty four. Last season he was the first player in
MLB history to record fifty home runs and fifty stolen
bases in the same year. Fifty to fifty. That ball
(23:23):
sold for a record breaking four point three nine to
two million dollars. Oh, come, so a decent sized house definitely,
at least a two bedroom house in van Nis. Yeah,
you might get parking off street parking with that. That's
why we are going to continue to celebrate this here,
wonderful city that we we love, what we have mixed
(23:46):
emotions about as well. Coming up not long from now,
like I said before, we will talk a little bit
about how you can get Chipotle for life. Plus a
small town city in southern California is making the most
revenue out of any city off of traffic tickets no
(24:07):
where you shouldn't be driving. Plus Netflix and Spotify getting
into the streaming podcast business. That's not a great tease.
But is teenage music the best music? It might be
according to you and your teenage self. It's if I
am six forty Andy Reesmeyer with you here this evening.
(24:29):
We were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app talking about
this earlier. You ever hear this rumor when you were
growing up? Maybe when I was growing up. I made
the mistake of saying when you were growing up. This
morning when I did this story on the on the
Morning Show, and Frank and Mark said, when you were
growing up. When I was growing up, Chipotle came onto
(24:52):
the scene in a big way, really changed a lot
of things and for people like my dad. I'm talking
about the restaurant Chipotle. A celebrity card is a mythical
pass for free burritos. It isn't just for celebrities anymore.
(25:13):
The chain has been quietly handing them out to musicians, athletes,
influencers now for years.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Good for a.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Free meal every day, plus catering, one catering order for
fifty people. Now they're opening it up to regular fans,
saying social media has redefined what it means to be
a celebrity. This is part marketing stunt, part cultural shift,
and proof that in twenty twenty five, being a terminally
online person can be just as valuable as being famous.
(25:39):
I think you see this with Saturday Night Live or
half of the new cast. It feels like are influencers now.
I think somebody at NBC and I have this sort
of on background. Somebody on NBC last year was like,
you have to make the Internet a priority with your
television programming.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
We're getting walloped.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
And if you look at the new marketing rollout for
Saturday Live this fall, you will see clips with influencers,
sketches specifically for Instagram, for TikTok. The Veronica is cool
character who is famous on Instagram, and also TikTok is
now a member of the cast, or at least a
featured player. And I think that that is no surprise.
(26:19):
We've talked about multiple times on this show and other
shows that for the first time YouTube influencers have actually
eaten television.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh is it good?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't know, but it's enough for them to get
free stuff, which they are very good at.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yes, do you know who the first Chipotle influencer was?
Any guesses here? No, it was Ozzy Osbourne, which is
amazing that that man was able to pronounce Chipotle.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Shut shut in. No, I actually don't want to read it.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I'll just stay earlier.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
ID you're still eating ambritos three times a day, BURRISO.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Those are clips from the Osbourne's that was a TV
show back in the early two thousands that, of course
featured Ozzy Osborne. The legendary Ozzy Osbourne Rest in Peace
and his family introduced us to a different side of
the Prince of Darkness. He was the first to get
the Chipotle celebrity card.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Now see, I would have guessed it would have been
mister Whipple. The Sherman guy got a deep cut.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
That's a pretty good one. You know.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I want to go back to this whole Ecoli Chipotle thing,
because do you remember the outrage that people had for
for for going to a place where you got a
burrito with farmed table organic meat for like six dollars
and ninety nine cents, wrapped up by a sixteen year
old who was probably working four hours a day because
(28:07):
legally he wasn't allowed to work more than that, and
then you all expected to not get sick. That's on you, friends.
Other celebrities who have these Chipotle celebrity cards include Tony Hawk,
Diplow singer songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, rapper Big Sean, and prominent
TikTok singer Addison Ray.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
The people who get these, like Bill Gates having a
McDonald's black card or whatever, they don't need that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
They don't need this. Give it to the regular folk.
Give it to the news anchors, give it to the
medium folk. Yeah, the people in the lower middle need this.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
That's right. We're the hardest hit a ball exactly.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You know, this is where the question starts here, which
I wanted to do like fifty five minutes ago, but
when Rich Daveriro says he can talk you take the call.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
If you could get anything.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
For free food wise forever, Like if you could if
you could eat at a restaurant for free forever, what
restaurant would you eat at?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Cats? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Ooh, that's a good answer, So you do the soush. Yes,
would you be worried about a mercury poisoning? I wouldn't
have to go every day, you know, but like what
I want? You know what it's l A little parasite
can be good for you, help help you hit that
goal weight right before for your career. Yeah, yeah, you know,
(29:27):
just like just fit in a little bit of a
smaller suit jacket, okay, make the pants fit again. There's
no hope like the hope of a pair of pants
that used to fit that are still in the closet,
thinking like someday those I'm going to wear those.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
No, for real, that's a real hope. What about you guys?
What are you guys thinking? What? What food can you
guys eat forever and for free?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
What would you want to have for free forever? I'm
not really prepared to answer that question. We think about
you get sick of everything after two or three times,
don't you. Well, then you could do like this morning
we talked about this cheesecake factory.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Right, A lot of variety umber in my life eating
at a cheesecake factory. Sure never set foot inside one.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Just from an anthropological study perspective, I think you should
at least take yourself down to the grove or wherever
the nearest the Americana brand. Perhaps get yourself some of
that rye bread.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Oh, the bread itself. Oh that bread is good, the
butter everything. Really yeah, yeah, you guys are fetishizing bread.
No serious? Whoa have you never lived? Bread is one
of the bread and butter is one of the greatest
things that a person can put in their mouth.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
I enjoy bread as much as the next human, but
not as much as us people who can't see the
two of you, the three of you on camera. Uh,
you're making O faces over bread. Sam is just staring
into the distance. Now he's not Are you Are you
on board with the bread? You think we're not bread?
I'm just not willing to stick it.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
You know, my various parts of my body I didn't
say various my mouth.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
There's only one.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
I honestly, the only place I would choose to eat
is every single day is Zankou Chick in their chicken
wraps with.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
The great answer. That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Tough out outside of La, though, you know, because there's
no Zanco Chicken outside of La. Yeah, well you know,
but then you're just gonna stay in LA all the time.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
I know that they somebody made that garlic sauce recipe
somewhere online.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I'll make it. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I know I would I I think I would have
said h I said something something like Moza Osteria Moza earlier,
which is a fancy Italian restaurant, Nancy Silverton's place here
in LA. But then I got to thinking, I can't.
If I go anywhere else, I'm not gonna be able
to you know, So maybe cheesecake factory. We would love
to hear from you, mister Richard. Let's open up those
phone lines, all right. Eight hundred five two zero one
(31:38):
five three four. That's one eight hundred five two zero
one KFI. Give us a call, tell us the food
that you would eat if you could for free forever,
and uh, maybe ron Or and I will pull some
cash together to pull some strings and make somebody's dream
come true.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Yeah, let me just skim some off of my massive
page check to send out to somebody.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
No, we of course can't do that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
This is like the daytime shows where they're giving away
a thousand dollars dollars you know. We're just thankful that
you're here at all. Eight hundred five to zero one
five three four. That's the number. Is this KFI AM
six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's I am six forty, Andy Reesemeyer here with you
this evening on this Monday, October twentieth.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The big story today that is still wreaking some havoc
on the Internet world, that of course, is basically synonymous
with our real world. Is there really a difference anymore?
The AWS services have been down all day, impacting other
Internet services beyond Amazon, Sling, Television, AT and T, Snapchat, ESPN, Venmo, Netflix,
(00:41):
even Apple TV. How that works? I don't know. Ring
that's a big one. People's home security system is not working.
Joining us via the telephone how I antiquated but sort
of quaint in a sense. Mister rich DeMuro, who you
hear here on KFI on the weekends, but also you
see every morning on the KTLA Morning News. Rich, thanks
(01:03):
for staying up so late to talk to me.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Hey, Andy, thanks for having me. I appreciate you having
me on to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I got to ask you, you know, you've been kind
of leading every newscast all day today and I was
just looking over at the screen here in the studio
and KTLA was up, and as I was coming into
this show, you were on KTLA in a package earlier
being interviewed about the same thing. Like I said, a
lot of it has been resolved, but some of it
is not. It's still important enough that it's, like I said,
(01:31):
leading the newscast in a a lot of situations. Is
this really that big of a deal?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, it's okay. So you have the outage, which is
a big deal for every single person say that experienced it,
but you also have this goes to the core of
our internet today. And what's happening is that there are
three companies that are controlling a large swath of the
Internet as we know it, and that is Amazon Amazon
(02:00):
Web Services. You've got Google Google Cloud Services, and you've
got Microsoft with Azure. Those companies are controlling so many
of the servers that every single company it just mentioned,
a whole bunch of them. I can add more to
the list. Reddit, Disney Plus, Roadblocks, Robinhood, Coinbase, Dual, Lingo, McDonald's, Starbucks,
(02:24):
Lift Airlines, Wow, Delta United. So when you talk about
the impact, yes, is it annoying that you couldn't check
your roadblocks your coinbase today?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
But the bigger issue is that the Internet was supposed
to be this place that could never go out because
it was a network of millions of servers around the world.
And now what we're doing is we're consolidating so much
of the pathways of the Internet between these giant data
centers that when one goes down, it's a domino.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So, I know, it's kind of all in the cloud,
sort of nebulous. It's hard to sort of put your
finger on exactly what happened today for the for the
regular layperson like me. I obviously you know, but AWS
stands for Amazon Web Service, And is there an analogy
that you can use to sort of explain exactly what happened?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Okay, so all the traffic goes to the server, and
it has these addresses that the server defined.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So if you're if you're.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Trying to check your snapchat, it gets in the information,
it goes Okay, let's route you to that server so
you can find your Snapchat snaps.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Are you surprised at the server? Ahead?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Go ahead, Yeah, So the server that controls that traffic
just went out. It's like a light going out at
an intersection. And when that light goes out, nobody knows
what to do, so things are moving slow. These services,
not all of them went out completely, but they were
slower because people had you know, these this this data
had to find its way. That's the basic easiest way
(03:49):
I can explain what happened to a person that you know,
I'm not in the data center. I think we're going
to have a full report on what happened here. But
we do know it was not a cyber attack, which
is good.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
That was my next question.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But you did say though that maybe it would give
people ideas perhaps, Well.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
That's the thing I mean this is, you know, by
attacking these data centers, you know, that's that's a major
issue because as we know now, so many of these
companies are are having their data in the centered. It
reminds me of like when you see a recall at
like a Trader Joe's, and all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
it's the same chicken that's recalled at Trader Joe's, that's
(04:28):
recalled at Walmart, that's recalled that Whole Foods, because they're
all using the same distributor. That's what's happening here, and
so all these companies are sort of connected in the
fact that they all rely on these servers that are
in the cloud. And you mentioned it's in the cloud,
and it's kind of, you know, nebulous. But the reality
is when you have a startup, when you have a
company and you're starting that instead of setting up your
(04:51):
own server on a rack in a corner of your office,
you say, wait, why wouldn't I just rent that space
from Amazon Web Services and I can scale up or
scale down as necessary.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And in that beauty of these services, in theory, it's
even more stable than something you would have locally in
your house. But obviously in certain situations like well I
said what we saw today and then even back in
twenty twenty three, there are sometimes that this goes down.
Are you are you surprised that it took this long
for things to come back up. I was at Whole Foods,
I mean an hour ago, probably just grabbing a quick
(05:24):
coffee on the way in, and I couldn't use their
payment Kiosk because it was still broken, which is wild
to me.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Well, it's not just like you can flip a switch
and everything comes back up. So and some of this
is done to keep the integrity of the system, so
it's not as if you find the problem and you say, oh,
the problem's fixed, let's just turn everything back on. They
have to turn things on in a very slow, methodical
way to make sure that ay, you know, they're still
investigating what's going on. B there's probably some software update
(05:56):
or something that was pushed to a certain subset of
their systems that ended up backfiring, and so they had
to figure out how to roll that back. So am
I surprised that not everything's back up. No, But it's
funny you say that, because every time we have one
of these impacts and the lot you know, we saw
the CrowdStrike impact, we saw you know, we've even seen
aws go down in the past several times. These just
(06:19):
seem to get bigger and bigger and impacting more people
worldwide because so much of the Internet relies on these
main infrastructure cloud services.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Wow wow wow wow.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, hopefully all of that will get patched up. And
I was checking down detector all day. It looks like
most of the issues that people had with RING are resolved,
which is great because I know people were really worried
about that with their home security systems. Didn't ever think
that that all could be tied into that and makes
you kind of think.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Wow, we really rely a lot on the internet.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, it's amazing how everything just stops when it
stops working well.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
And for Ring as an example, you know, I've got
Ring and I have a cellular backup to Ring, right,
so my Internet goes down, It'll still phone home using cellular.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But then you think.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
About, oh, wait a second, what if the servers that
it's trying to talk to don't work? So all the
connections in the world don't matter. And for me personally,
my kids were like, hey, you didn't set the alarm today.
I said, I couldn't set the alarm today.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
No, I know. Can I tell you what happened? Can
I tell you a story? I had the exact opposite issue.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I know, it got one minute here before we're out
of here, four o'clock this morning, wake up, get ready
to do the morning show. Had to leave the house,
let the dog out first, right, the alarm was on, sure,
and I didn't know that this had happened. And I'm
unable to turn the alarm off, so of course the
time's out. Oh the alarm starts going off. It's going
like crazy, and those ring alarms are loud, and I'm
(07:47):
like opening the phone, trying to reset the phone and
try to get the thing right. I don't know what's happening,
you know, I don't understand what's going on. I don't
know what's down and it's it's like I got one
eye open because I've been awake for five seconds and
it's the you know, you know what of of night,
and the alarm makes your brain scramble to the point
where you can't even think what's going you know, what's next.
(08:08):
So I rip it out of the wall. Right, It's
got a backup battery. It's in the closet where we
have all this stuff. I've zipped it up in a coat.
Still super loud, alarm is still going. I put a
little paper clip in the butt of it. Right, I'm
like run around the house trying to find a little
paper clip to reset it. Okay, it's finally silent for
a second. About two minutes later, thing comes back on.
(08:30):
I'm losing my mind. I finally took it out and
put it under the couch cushion. Then I put a
seat on another chair on top of the couch to
sort of cover it tightly so I could actually hear
myself think, and I kept finding I kept resetting it
and resetting it and resetting it. Eventually it shut up,
but it took like an hour and a half of
(08:50):
just dealing with this thing wailing, and it's like, this
is crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You know, there's no okay, Yeah, I know we got
a run.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
But I will tell you a good lesson out of
what you just said is this happens with lots of people.
Like they're probably trying to reset their password or reset
their router or try to what's going on here?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You don't know?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And so looking at a site like down detector, I
check it every day just to see if there's any
major widespread issues. It's a good place to start, and
then of course follow me because I'll post about it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The other thing I learned this morning is that it
doesn't matter how long the alarm goes off at my house.
My neighbors will not call me to see if everything
is okay.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
That's sad, but a reality of a big city, that's
how it goes.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Hey, we'll see you tomorrow morning, and of course back
here on Saturday on KFI rich on Tech, when's your
first hit Tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Thanks Andy, early, too early, all right, I'm on it
like five.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
All right, go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
We gotta I gotta make up some from that the
last time, Rich Demiro Rich on Tech KT and KFI.
This is the KFI. Uh well, this is KFI. It's
KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
My name is Andy Reesmeyer. Be with you here all
the way until ten pm. If you'd like to get
in touch and say hello, you can find me a
couple different ways. There's, of course the old trustees. Send
(10:14):
him a DM at Andy KTLA on Instagram or Twitter
x if you like that. Not on Blue Sky. Didn't
figure that one out. Also not on MySpace anymore, had
to shut it down. Figured the band probably wasn't going
to make it too much invested in that MySpace had
a good one. We can also take your call or
(10:38):
a message at least if you want to find us
on the iHeartRadio app, you can look forward the little
microphone button and leave a message to talk back. And
then if you say something and you want us to
listen to it and you want us to play it
on the show, we will do that. So feel free
to do that. Mark, Ronerd, how are we doing to
night on this Monday evening?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
We the royal Wei? Yea, we are doing fine? How
are we? Yeah? We are great? Sam, how are we?
I'm fantastic? Yeah, Richie, what's that like? Amazing?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Wait a second, just hang on. Rona and I have
burned out. All are feeling goods. So they say I'm
hollow inside. Yeah, the threshold has been lowered, the exasperation
of adulthood up against the stark contrast of the hope
of youth.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Sam, You're that hope of youth. Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
A flight headed to Alix on Monday was diverted back
to where it came from in Omaha after pilots believed
that there was a security incident on board. Flight Aware
says an American Airlines flight operated by sky West took
off from Omaha at around four forty pm and then
about twenty minutes later return for an undisclosed reason. Unconfirmed
(11:50):
reports on social media those are always good good job
KTLA Printing unconfirmed reports on social media. They claimed that
the flight was diverted after multiple people attempted to gain
access to the cockpit during the flight. However, a spokesperson
for the Federal Aviation Authority told KTLA the cause for
the diversion was due to a problem with the plane's
internal phone communications system. It is hard to believe anything
(12:15):
you see on the internet, so according to the FAA,
the diversion was not, as you might see on the internet,
a result of multiple people trying to gain access to
the cockpit from Epile Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska. Apparently, the
knocking on the cockpit door was actually the cabin crew
attempting to make contact with the pilots because the phone
(12:37):
wasn't working. This is kind of interesting too, So whenever
we reach out to federal departments, whenever the news media
wants to see further clarification about something that happened, there's
a person who is called the PIO, the public information officer,
generally speaking at least like in the county or in
(12:57):
the police officer's fire department, and they'll get back to
you with some But of course, right now there's a
government shutdown, so some federal agencies like the FAA are
responding to media requests such as the one we were
just talking about with a note that due to the
(13:17):
shutdown of the federal government, the FAA is no longer
able to respond to regular media inquiries, but I guess
Katla did get a response sometime later, saying that there
was no security related incident at the airport and that
was just a social media rumor. Cool love it, very fun,
good stuff speaking of Los Angeles and things that make
you crazy. You know, I get served up on the
(13:40):
old Instagram's the TikTok when I'm scrolling all kinds of
really good LA specific comedy. For some reason, I have
like worked my algorithm perfectly so that I get jokes
that are geared exactly towards Los Angeles because I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
About La all the time. But love LA.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
This one comedian came up with a bunch of trigger words.
Every single sentence here will trigger your anxiety or your
stress if you're an Angelino.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Let's see if this works. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Your friend is visiting from out of town. She's always
wanted to see Cali.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
CALLI number one. We've said it on the show before.
Don't call it CALLI unless you're ll cool J.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
CALLI. You pick her from Lax and driver her to
her airbnb and near MacArthur Park.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What that's not even that far but that does sound
that the lax pickup is a crazy situation.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
At three pm, she asked you to drive her to
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She wants to spend the
rest of her day there before going to downtown for
the nightlife.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ah, so lax to MacArthur Park to Hollywood and then
she wants to go downtown.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Visit scenic skid Row while you're.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I don't know, there is some fun night life in
downtown La a seven grand. It's a cooled whiskey bar there.
Get play some pool.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Also, when people say Callie, don't they generally mean to
be referring to the cartel in Colombia.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Right that we have.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Banned Calli as a nickname for California, the only people
who call it Cali are the people who are not
from here. It's the same way that people who say
Angelino's are almost always politicians speaking to us and no
one who actually lives here.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Tomorrow, you're gonna drive Gone at dasney Land for the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Leading Oh, oh my god, why does this make me
so anxious?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Tomorrow You're gonna drive Gone at disney Land for the afternoon,
leave at five pm and make it back in time
to catch the sunset at Venice Beach.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Oh my, this is what a day. Huh.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
If she has time, she wants to meet up with
her and uncle who live in San Bernardino. They only
live seventy miles away.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Your old mind.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
This is such a good specific joke that only people
who live here understand. And that, my friends, is the
power of local media and local content. Coming up, We've
got so much show still to get to. We're gonna
go inside Chipotle's celebrity card Potlee for life. Who's getting it,
(16:03):
Who's got it? Who wants it? And speaking of dinner,
would you believe when dinner time is is changing the
expectations for when dinner might be served culturally? There's a
shift happening. Something is a foot. Plus the latest news.
And speaking of news, we're gonna check in with our
(16:25):
friend Mark Ronner.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, Living.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
A glamorous life here on this Monday. It's KIM six forty.
I'm Andy Reesmeyer. Thanks for joining us this evening. Keeping
an eye here on the ALCS Game seven.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Bottom of the.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I just lost it. I think it's the top of
the eighth. Now blue Jays have just scored. Now Toronto's
leading the Mariners four to two.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Three Mariner's rep three to one. Just a second, it's
the end of the seventh now, But end of the
seventh it was. They were down and they needed a
big time home run just now, and they just got it.
So they they're now ahead, and whoever wins this game
takes on the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Whoever wins this game takes on the Dodgers this Friday.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Very excited about that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I know there's been a lot of debate whether or
not we think we would rather play and by we,
I mean the Dodgers would rather play Seattle or Toronto.
Both are great teams, obviously, I think Toronto was at
least according to David Pingalore, who's never been wrong about
anything in his life, told me that he thought that
it probably would be better to play the Mariners.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
So we will see. Not looking like.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You know the night is over yet at least four
the Blue Jays, who are now in the lead four
to three.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
ALCS Game seven will keep you posted.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Currently on a break right now looking at the Burger
King Halloween Special combo there, so any information will bring
it to you whenever we get it.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
How about that I get a whopper? You may you
want a whopper?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I'm really hungry right now, you take it. We'll give
you a whopper. Well, what post made a whopper? How
about that Mark Ronner?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
You want one? No, but thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't know that I was. I hadn't committed to
really doing it now, but now I feel like I
have to. You're eating, Sam, You're eating right now. I'm starving, dude.
I just had a snack. I'm not going to order
you food while you're eating already. It was a it
was a ding dong. A ding dong with you, if
you will, exactly very good. We tend to have a
lot of those around here. I wonder if Conway has
something to do with you know what, I wouldn't be
(18:34):
surprised if the ding dong people sponsored the show.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
They should send some free ones, right, one would think, Hostess.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know what, I'm surprised we don't have any Zelmans
laying around here, or does or does mister does mister
Handle keep them all to himself.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
He apparently like vacuums those down.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, I'm looking forward to trying them, hopefully, someday I'd like,
of course, you know, dodger Mania. This is kind of interesting, right,
Dodgers are playing first game the World Series will be
on Friday, and of course now local media, especially at
KTLA and everybody else, you know, we got to figure
out what to talk about for the next four or
five days.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
We still want to cover it.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So this is sort of just the greatest hits of
what the Dodger nation has been up to over the
last week or weekend or so.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Have you won the nationally that it was amazing?
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Oh my gosh, I love the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Go Dodgers, Go Blue.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Go Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Yeah, we're gonna win the World Series. The Dodgers going
back to the World Series for a second year in
a row after sweeping the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's great to be a Dodgers fan any day. Where's
that guy from? Its great to be a Dodgers fan
any day, any day.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I love the Dodgers, cool, cool accent.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Day over in Little Tokyo, fans vindicated. I feel like
it like reaffirmed our faith. You obviously, we all celebrate
him a lot in this neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I've not been mine.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That really, you know, goes without saying, but I will
say it again. This man had a rough few weeks
and then appears in what what could be considered at
least depending on who you talk to. Not Derek Jeter
won't say so, but many other sports experts saying one
of the greatest showings of any athlete in history?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Is he the greatest of all time?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Was one of the articles I saw earlier today, and
it was like a legitimate conversation based on that game alone.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Obviously we all celebrate him a lot in this neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I've not been my husband pull over it so that
I could get a picture through a show Hey, and
what is being called his greatest game ever?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh my goods, show hey, TONI became.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
The first player in history to hit three home runs,
strike out ten batters, and pitch six shutout innings.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I thought I was dreaming, showed up and showed out.
You know what he did for that one game was
anybody get you know, for a whole career.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Has done it again?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Done? When he hit the third home run, I was like,
that didn't really happen, Like the unreal and during that
third home run, somewhere in the crowd was David Flores.
Very unexpected.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
The emotions are still having hit hit home yet, but
I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Surprised and also very eager to sell that ball. Have
you heard this?
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Oh yeah, anybody catching that ball? You kind of understand.
He had one of one of the better pitching outages
outings ever and he hit three home runs. That last
home run ball is going to go for at least
a million.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You think, So how much did the fifty fifty up
going for? Do you know? Oh geez, we got to
look that on or do you know? I do?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Not enough maybe to make a down payment on a
modest house in La.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Oh don't now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I
will say this.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
There was a funny joke that I saw online that said,
don't don't be shocked if in like ten fifteen years
you see a bunch of kids in La called, like,
you know, show Hey Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That's great?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, absolutely, okay, I found out how much Richie, you're
gonna play this too?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
All right, let's go.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
How much did the show Hey o tani fifty to
fifty home run ball? Which, uh, the fifty to fifty happened,
what like last last year, last fall? How much did
it sell for? It was a record sale? Sam, Do
you know what the fifty to fifty ball is?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Oh yeah, No, I know which one it is, and
I have the beauty of the Internet.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I looked it up. He's the first player. You looked
it up already? Yeah, no, I was. I didn't know
we were playing a game. I would have I would
have I would have not cheated. But now I'm not
going to give you the answer, Mark, would you still
like to play a game? One million dollars?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Right?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Richie? Do you have any ideas I was gonna say,
like fifty k fifty? You think only fifty k? Wow?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
You think of a well equipped Toyota Camry could be
had for the price of the iconic? Very very true.
So of course it refers to the It was twenty
twenty four. Last season he was the first player in
MLB history to record fifty home runs and fifty stolen
bases in the same year. Fifty to fifty. That ball
(23:23):
sold for a record breaking four point three nine to
two million dollars. Oh, come, so a decent sized house definitely,
at least a two bedroom house in van Nis. Yeah,
you might get parking off street parking with that. That's
why we are going to continue to celebrate this here,
wonderful city that we we love, what we have mixed
(23:46):
emotions about as well. Coming up not long from now,
like I said before, we will talk a little bit
about how you can get Chipotle for life. Plus a
small town city in southern California is making the most
revenue out of any city off of traffic tickets no
(24:07):
where you shouldn't be driving. Plus Netflix and Spotify getting
into the streaming podcast business. That's not a great tease.
But is teenage music the best music? It might be
according to you and your teenage self. It's if I
am six forty Andy Reesmeyer with you here this evening.
(24:29):
We were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app talking about
this earlier. You ever hear this rumor when you were
growing up? Maybe when I was growing up. I made
the mistake of saying when you were growing up. This
morning when I did this story on the on the
Morning Show, and Frank and Mark said, when you were
growing up. When I was growing up, Chipotle came onto
(24:52):
the scene in a big way, really changed a lot
of things and for people like my dad. I'm talking
about the restaurant Chipotle. A celebrity card is a mythical
pass for free burritos. It isn't just for celebrities anymore.
(25:13):
The chain has been quietly handing them out to musicians, athletes,
influencers now for years.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Good for a.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Free meal every day, plus catering, one catering order for
fifty people. Now they're opening it up to regular fans,
saying social media has redefined what it means to be
a celebrity. This is part marketing stunt, part cultural shift,
and proof that in twenty twenty five, being a terminally
online person can be just as valuable as being famous.
(25:39):
I think you see this with Saturday Night Live or
half of the new cast. It feels like are influencers now.
I think somebody at NBC and I have this sort
of on background. Somebody on NBC last year was like,
you have to make the Internet a priority with your
television programming.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
We're getting walloped.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
And if you look at the new marketing rollout for
Saturday Live this fall, you will see clips with influencers,
sketches specifically for Instagram, for TikTok. The Veronica is cool
character who is famous on Instagram, and also TikTok is
now a member of the cast, or at least a
featured player. And I think that that is no surprise.
(26:19):
We've talked about multiple times on this show and other
shows that for the first time YouTube influencers have actually
eaten television.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh is it good?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't know, but it's enough for them to get
free stuff, which they are very good at.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yes, do you know who the first Chipotle influencer was?
Any guesses here? No, it was Ozzy Osbourne, which is
amazing that that man was able to pronounce Chipotle.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Shut shut in. No, I actually don't want to read it.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I'll just stay earlier.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
ID you're still eating ambritos three times a day, BURRISO.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Those are clips from the Osbourne's that was a TV
show back in the early two thousands that, of course
featured Ozzy Osborne. The legendary Ozzy Osbourne Rest in Peace
and his family introduced us to a different side of
the Prince of Darkness. He was the first to get
the Chipotle celebrity card.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Now see, I would have guessed it would have been
mister Whipple. The Sherman guy got a deep cut.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
That's a pretty good one. You know.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I want to go back to this whole Ecoli Chipotle thing,
because do you remember the outrage that people had for
for for going to a place where you got a
burrito with farmed table organic meat for like six dollars
and ninety nine cents, wrapped up by a sixteen year
old who was probably working four hours a day because
(28:07):
legally he wasn't allowed to work more than that, and
then you all expected to not get sick. That's on you, friends.
Other celebrities who have these Chipotle celebrity cards include Tony Hawk,
Diplow singer songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, rapper Big Sean, and prominent
TikTok singer Addison Ray.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
The people who get these, like Bill Gates having a
McDonald's black card or whatever, they don't need that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
They don't need this. Give it to the regular folk.
Give it to the news anchors, give it to the
medium folk. Yeah, the people in the lower middle need this.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
That's right. We're the hardest hit a ball exactly.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You know, this is where the question starts here, which
I wanted to do like fifty five minutes ago, but
when Rich Daveriro says he can talk you take the call.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
If you could get anything.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
For free food wise forever, Like if you could if
you could eat at a restaurant for free forever, what
restaurant would you eat at?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Cats? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Ooh, that's a good answer, So you do the soush. Yes,
would you be worried about a mercury poisoning? I wouldn't
have to go every day, you know, but like what
I want? You know what it's l A little parasite
can be good for you, help help you hit that
goal weight right before for your career. Yeah, yeah, you know,
(29:27):
just like just fit in a little bit of a
smaller suit jacket, okay, make the pants fit again. There's
no hope like the hope of a pair of pants
that used to fit that are still in the closet,
thinking like someday those I'm going to wear those.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
No, for real, that's a real hope. What about you guys?
What are you guys thinking? What? What food can you
guys eat forever and for free?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
What would you want to have for free forever? I'm
not really prepared to answer that question. We think about
you get sick of everything after two or three times,
don't you. Well, then you could do like this morning
we talked about this cheesecake factory.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Right, A lot of variety umber in my life eating
at a cheesecake factory. Sure never set foot inside one.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Just from an anthropological study perspective, I think you should
at least take yourself down to the grove or wherever
the nearest the Americana brand. Perhaps get yourself some of
that rye bread.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Oh, the bread itself. Oh that bread is good, the
butter everything. Really yeah, yeah, you guys are fetishizing bread.
No serious? Whoa have you never lived? Bread is one
of the bread and butter is one of the greatest
things that a person can put in their mouth.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
I enjoy bread as much as the next human, but
not as much as us people who can't see the
two of you, the three of you on camera. Uh,
you're making O faces over bread. Sam is just staring
into the distance. Now he's not Are you Are you
on board with the bread? You think we're not bread?
I'm just not willing to stick it.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
You know, my various parts of my body I didn't
say various my mouth.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
There's only one.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
I honestly, the only place I would choose to eat
is every single day is Zankou Chick in their chicken
wraps with.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
The great answer. That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Tough out outside of La, though, you know, because there's
no Zanco Chicken outside of La. Yeah, well you know,
but then you're just gonna stay in LA all the time.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
I know that they somebody made that garlic sauce recipe
somewhere online.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I'll make it. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I know I would I I think I would have
said h I said something something like Moza Osteria Moza earlier,
which is a fancy Italian restaurant, Nancy Silverton's place here
in LA. But then I got to thinking, I can't.
If I go anywhere else, I'm not gonna be able
to you know, So maybe cheesecake factory. We would love
to hear from you, mister Richard. Let's open up those
phone lines, all right. Eight hundred five two zero one
(31:38):
five three four. That's one eight hundred five two zero
one KFI. Give us a call, tell us the food
that you would eat if you could for free forever,
and uh, maybe ron Or and I will pull some
cash together to pull some strings and make somebody's dream
come true.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Yeah, let me just skim some off of my massive
page check to send out to somebody.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
No, we of course can't do that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
This is like the daytime shows where they're giving away
a thousand dollars dollars you know. We're just thankful that
you're here at all. Eight hundred five to zero one
five three four. That's the number. Is this KFI AM
six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
