kids like old shows, like they're watching television and movies
that came out way before they were ever born.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Is this a new trend? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I think about back to the days when I would
watch Nick at night with my grandparents turn into a
little Brady Bunch action maybe Little Beverly Hillbillies.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I don't know that that's new, but as NICKI has informed me,
I am an old.

Goober cornball cornball goober A good thing.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Okay, good old soul. Thank you. I guess you know
this is a funny thing.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It's like I was raised by very intense parents, you
know who like really liked their culture of of of
boomer sixties seventies music. That was our whole touch All
of our touchdownes were that. So like, I didn't get
to do normal kid stuff. We couldn't watch cartoons, weren't
allowed to do the normal kid things. It was like, now,
(02:17):

Speaker 2 (02:27):
A little bit. I didn't know this.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Why don't you want you to drop some info in
the group chat about you did a show last night?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, I mean it was a it's a it's called
Schoony Gee's Holiday Reunion Show. So they do this once
a year and it's just a bunch of local musicians
get together and they jam. And you said to be
part of it. Yeah, at the at the Rainbow Room
at the Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
On the world famous Yeah, absolutely, world famous sunset strip.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Have you had you played at that at that spot before? No,
that was a first. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I used to play at the Roxy back in then day.
Oh nice, and that was like a huge like, oh
my god, I can't believe we played at the Viper Room.
I know, I know, I know, and you'd be like, whoa.
I remember being at the Viper Room and sending a
picture to my parents and they were like Rivers Phoenix
died there, Like I know, but we played a show here.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What do you think about that? Are you? Are you
doing drugs?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That was twenty years before this happen, Like I had,
what is it? It's a very it's a.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Very parent thing, you know, when you say something you're
excited about and then they're like yes and someone and
here's the famous person who died around that thing.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Did you play the Viper Room when it was owned
by Johnny Depp?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I would have been twenty early twenty teens, like probably
twenty eleven, so maybe, so maybe when did Johnny Depp
sell Viper Room google in? He sold it in two
thousand and four, so Noma, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I
mean it was you know, it's not like I think
even if he had he had owned it, he would
(03:57):
have come to the show. I can't imagine he was like,
just like hankering to see a bunch of midwesterners play
piano rock guys in sweater vests. Doesn't seem like his scene.
But I'm happy for we're gonna play, I think. Sometime
later a little clip from uh did I hear a
Guns and Roses song?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Is that what you were doing?
Speaker 7 (04:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I did led Zeppelin rock and Roll? Okay yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:19):
And ac DC Highway to Hell heck yeah yeah, this
is all These are all class get up there and
dance and scream like that. It's like all right to
feel good.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Do you get to get out there and sing a
lot these days?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, kind of that's huge. When's the next show? Open
mic on Monday? How about that?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Where's that Jamison's and Santa Monica's cool? But oh god, yeah,
stalkers No, no, stokers.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
No stock don't okay, any stalkers, please don't come. But
if you want to go see some good live music,
Jamison is a great place.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Since we're just doing we're doing covers covers. We usually
do half half of our own stuff and half covers.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That is, that's the way to do it. You know,
and you got it. It's it's tough, it's fine. I
know the the audience loves it when you do all covers,
but I think it's a lot more fun when you don't,
you know what I mean. I think it's a more
fun thing to do when you do your own music.
As a musician, I think so.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But I'm playing bass on this one. I'm not. I'm
singing one song, but I'm mostly playing bass. Amazing, what
kind you got? I have a Hoffner?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Look at you, Paul McCartney. Are you a lefty as well? No, no,
it doesn't matter. I mean, I think it's it's annoying
to be a left handed guitar player because they have
to play either upside down, they have to flip the
guitar over, or they have to buy separate kind of guitars.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I used to be a left handed bass player and
I quit because I had no musical ability.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And you're right, it's tough being a lefty.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's because everybody. Also, most people are right handed. I
think the majority of people are, and so especially when
you're trying to learn and you're looking at somebody else,
try to play. Not a lot of left handed tutorials.
But I'm excited for you. Bass is fun, Hoffner based,
very cool. Those are really neat, neat sound and basses.
Let's talk about in the show here. This is happening
(06:00):
right now. I'm looking at CNN and Fox News right now,
which are in the studio. There's a press conference going
on at mar A Lago with President Trump, who is
currently wrapping up a meeting with Ukraine President Vladimir Zelenski.
They are in final steps, so the two of them
say to end the war in Russia and Ukraine. There
(06:22):
are some concessions at least going into the meeting that
vlad Putin wanted Vladimir Zelenski to make, which mostly includes,
as you heard probably in that news update about ten
minutes ago, the Donbas region, which is an area that
has been hotly contested, is technically Ukraine. The Ukrainian government
(06:43):
and the Ukrainian people obviously don't want to give up
that area. Russia would like to increase its land mass
in that part of Europe, so of course that is
one of the reasons that they're all fighting over that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So we will get you updated.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm sure about what comes out of that meeting if
there is an agreement. I know Ukraine was looking for
a sixty day cease fire out of that, and like
I said, I'm sure we'll have more on that coming up.
But I want to bring it back here because we had,
of course that storm. Now we're looking ahead here towards
New Year's Day where it looks like there's going to
be another storm on the way, and before that we
(07:18):
will have a little bit of a wind storm.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Okay, let's talk about the weather because Santa Ana wind
event starts today. Once the winds die down, here comes
more rain today and tomorrow, those sunny sky is expected
for everyone. In addition to those really gusty winds. Our
air quality is good to moderate for everyone today and
really those winds have started. But as we head into
later this afternoon and evening and those overnight hours into
Monday morning, this is when that Santa Anna wind corridor
(07:42):
really starts to see those strong guns.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
So we're looking at a wind advisory in effect between
seven and ten pm tonight, and then a high wind
watch which will start at ten pm, and you're looking
at winds between forty forty five fifty miles an hour
in those typical Santa Ana wind corridors, all right, So
that's the mountain passes, the valleys, the desarts. So right
here in Burbank you're gonna probably start to feel some
of that into the overnight hours, and then by the
(08:05):
time we get into Wednesday, we probably will start to
see some showers Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday evening. So if you
are traveling for New Year's which i am, I'm trying
to get on out of here early because you gotta
hit the road, you're gonna be in that rain. And
as we know, especially from the last few days last week,
it can be deadly. It can be real dangerous, and
there's more nightmares, especially if you're heading out towards the
(08:27):
East coast, where thousands of flights have been canceled delayed
because of a northeaster.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
This morning, that powerful winter storm that dropped heavy snow
and ice over the Northeast, still wreaking havoc on post
holiday travel, snow blanketing city, some cloud trucks in overdrive
New York City, picking up at least four inches seven
in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and upstate in Hartwick, New York, nearly
a foot. Much of that snow freezing overnight, creating dangerous
(08:54):
black ice for drivers. This system bringing air travel to
a slow crawl. At least eleven thousand delays and cancelations yesterday,
most of them in and out of the Northeast. At
JFK and Logan Airport, long lines, passengers swarming the gates
waiting for updates, some for hours.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And if you're in New York City and you're looking
ahead to the next few days, it's going to continue
to be bad. And they're just asking you to stay inside,
including Mayor Eric Adams outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped
this gem of a statement, say.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Home, this is a good baby making day. You know,
we want to improve their population, you know, so you know,
as my son would say, just do Netflix and chill.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
And of course I googled how many kids does Eric
Adams have? But I think this is a drop.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Say home, this is a good baby making day.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
That's a good drop. I'm going to keep that forever somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Then, I think with the New York post posted on Twitter,
Mayor Adams bizarrely calls New Year's Day a good baby
making day, and then the mayor quote tweeted it and said, no,
Lie is detected in all apps only has one kit.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
There you have it. I don't know, man, stay home.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
This is a good baby making day.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Coming up, we're gonna talk about that gas leak, a
major disruption on the five Freeway. Santa Clarita is not
a place that you talk about way back to the
Aliso Canyon League. That is not a place where people
want to be dealing with a gas leak and the
five Freeway, especially during the holidays. I swear every single
time I get to push alert about something horrible happening,
a crash, a backup, a dramatic scenario, it is always
(10:33):
the Five.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So we'll get all.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
That news out of the way, but then we will
talk about some good news and also a few days
from now New Year's events in Los Angeles, what you
can do still if you haven't made plans, some fun ideas.
That's all coming up. This is the Andy Reesmeier Show.
We're on CAFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is the Andy Reesmeier Show. Just passed two twenty
here on this beautiful Sunday. If you're out looking at
the world today after like a week of NonStop rain,
I wouldn't blame you. Maybe you're in the car driving
to the mall. This is the Golden Week of Los Angeles,
that period of time when everybody has gone. You can
(11:18):
get a reservation at any restaurant. For the most part,
you can actually go do stuff. The traffic isn't too bad,
although I think tonight especially people are going to start
getting on the roads again heading back home after the
holiday season. But I was at the mall man and
I could not believe how nobody was there.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It was amazing. I was like, this is great. We
should do this all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Speaking of being in a traffic situation that's not super great.
The Five Freeways I was talking before, always a nightmare.
There's sometimes when I have to go down, like if
I'm going for work down to Orange County to do
something down there, I was like, I would do anything
in my power to avoid the five Freeway. It's just
always under construction, especially through parts of southern Los Angeles County.
(12:03):
And if you get you know, to Orange County and
the road switches from being this just like complete utter
nightmare potholes all of a sudden, it's just nice and smooth,
But if you go north, bigger problems.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Yesterday overnight, a gas leak in California, forcing a major
freeway to shut down, causing traffic and concerns for commuters.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
We spelled gas as soon as we got into Santa
Clarita coming from Fillmore area.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Video showing the gas violently bursting into the air, kicking
up debris and visible for miles away.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It's crazy when it's like gas is so intense, it's
coming out at such a clip that you can actually
visualize it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You could see it blowing the dust of the hill out.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Authority shutting down the freeway, worried over the possible cause
of the leak within.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
The way out, the potential of a major explosion. That's
when we've shut down all you know, freeways in the
im mediate area.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Traffic backed up as far as the eye could see
some drivers stuck on the road for more than three hours.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
People are aggravated, for sure. Men in line for like
an hour and thirty minutes already.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
We're just like asked as Californians to sit and wait
for things. I had no idea that living in LA
for fifteen years would just mean that I would be
normalized to the idea of every once in a while
going somewhere and you might have to just sit there
for a minute. I was heading over the hill last
Sunday after the show popped in the car, drove over
the four or five they had, and I have my
(13:32):
own ignorance for not paying attention to this. But you know,
they're doing off and on construction, and it's not like
they just have a couple of back hose or dump
trucks going up and down the street.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
There.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
They have k rails in the middle of the freeway.
They are moving the northbound and southbound traffic so that
the southbound lanes don't even go on the normal part
of the four or five. They just cut over onto
the northbound lanes, divide the freeway in half, so you
go down from seven or whatever eight lanes down to
(14:05):
what feels like three lanes each direction, So a normal
Sunday afternoon trip which would again take you, like I
don't know, fifteen minutes to get over the hill in
a good situation, as long as there's not an accident
on Sunday afternoon, it is like an hour long trip.
And I'm sitting there like, why didn't anybody tell me
about this? I'm like one of those people who comments
on why is no one talking about this? I'm sure
(14:29):
we were talking about it and I just didn't pay
attention to it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Eileen, have you heard about this?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Which one the four or five freeway into LA from
the valley with the construction on the weekends where they
nightmare on?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yes, real, it took me two hours to get home.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
What from the did you try? Because you were going
from West Hollywood over. I was coming from here, oh
oh oh to West Side that's right, because you live
down in the Bay or.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
The South Bay. Yeah, yeah, I guess Marinadel Race, my
South Bay.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
What happened was my GPS my car told me to
exit on Supulvita.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh, get around it, right.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
But then they had all of the entrances to get
back on the freeway closed, and I just sat on Supulvita.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I ever, I feel like I'm pretty connected to what's
going on in the world thing, you know, working in news,
And when I got stuck in it, I was like,
how did I not know about this?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah? I mean I knew about it, I just didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I think the thing was I was stuck on Supulvita
and I could see traffic on the four or five moving.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, that's right, because that Supulvita is just two lanes.
So you got everybody thinking, oh, this will be the
quick move. What you got to do is got to
go down to Pank Canyon. Actually I don't know if
that's open now because of the rain. But you go
go to pch come down that way. Matter of fact,
go up to San Francisco, hop on a plane, fly
down to Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It'd be fast.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's how you can do it. Yeah, it's just crazy.
It's just crazy. And now the Castaic area that gas
link rather from yesterday which was reported just before four thirty,
the freeway is reopened. As far as what exactly is
going on if it's still leaking a little bit, I
(16:07):
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Oh, just back then where to go?
Speaker 7 (16:10):
The immediate area receiving a shelter in place order that's
since been lifted, the freeway reopening shortly before nine pm Saturday,
the smell of gas subsiding by nightfall, Officials eventually finding
and stopping the source of the leak, confirming that no
explosion had occurred in declaring the area safe dark.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So it's over. That's good.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
But what a freaky thing, man, especially if you think
about it, at least o Canyon gas leak and the
storage facility up there, that really was. I mean, people
had to sell their homes and they had to move
because they just said, I can't take it anymore. The
stakes some good news you made a missed in twenty
twenty five. Everybody's talking about how difficult everything was the
(16:53):
last year. I swear this happens every single year where
there's all these end of the year recaps. Someone says,
this year is over in parentheses, Oh thank god, it
was terrible. It was a terrible year. Good Ridding's never
seen a year that bad before. I feel like, truly
(17:14):
every year and this year is no different. CBS News
compiled a bunch of good news stories though, things that
are that are good, that happened that made people feel good.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It probably didn't make.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It to a lot of your h a lot of
your feeds, because of course, you know, good news isn't
triggering like bad news is. When we come back, I
will get into some of those things. Plus where you
should go for New Year's Eve here in southern California,
lots of opportunities. Maybe the Queen Mary down to Long Beach.
Now would you call Long Beach the South Bay?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. Does it end at Palace Verdies.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I feel like it's the south end of the South
Bay and then like you hop over the little like
Seal Beach area and it becomes Orange County.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, oh for sure. Long Beach obviously is La County.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
But I Long Beach has its own thing outside of
the South Bay. Like I wouldn't call San Pedro South Bay.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Maybe it is Pedro is its own place.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But when I think about areas like Marina del Rey
or I'm sorry, not Marine Delay, Manhattan Beach, Manhattan, h Elsea, Gundo,
is that South Bay?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I think that's a South bay that is. Yeah. What
about Palos Verdices well.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
North side of the peninsula, Sure, I think I think
Palas Verdies has got to be South Bay.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I agree, well, then Long Beach would be, you would
I don't, but I don't know. I wonder Long.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Beach is its own city, Isn't It is its own city?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
But so is Redondo? Right, there's a mayor of Verdondo.
There's a mayor of right. I think Redonda, Verdando Beach
is its own city. Hermosa is its own city. I
know Manhattan Beaches. Yeah, so I don't know. The rules
around here are kind of whack.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I was talking about this to somebody over the weekend,
somebody from out of town who came in and was like, okay,
so do you can you explain how in Sea know
in Sherman Oaks and Studio City, those are cities, right,
It's like, no, not really, but the address says Sherman Oaks.
It's like, yes, but it's Los Angeles because there's no
mayor of Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
It does it.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
It's very confusing to these kind of hard hitting journalistic things.
I had a listener who I had to block because
I was just so over it messaged me that saying
that the show that I did last week was less
spicy than mayonnaise and I was like, what in the like,
what kind of spicy are you looking for? So I
went and looked at his profile and it was like
(19:32):
all only fans chicks, and I was like, well, I like, well,
I don't know what kind of spicy you're looking for, sir.
Kind of spicy, right, So.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I put it on. I put it on the NUS.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I put it on ktlas a comment because I do
a section or a second.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Or other way.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I read comments from people. And then he hit me
up again and he was like, oh man, this is
the least at least you got to be more interested,
because the least spicy thing I've ever heard. And so
I was like, all right, this is just troll and
I got a block. But hater's gonna hate Mario. Are
we spicy enough for you today? Do we need to
kick it up a notch here? No, you guys are
perfectly fine. Okay, good, try to match at the level
(20:10):
with the music coming up for the show.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Ooh, all right, well I'll look forward to what comes next.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
A lot of bad news of the last year. This
is all something that we know well enough, especially if
you pay attention to the news if you've been watching.
We had the fires in January, had a lot of
really high level or at least I wouldn't say high
level is the right word, but we had a lot
of very public some terrible terrorist attacks. We had a
(20:42):
lot of shootings. I mean, there was a lot of stuff.
And I think that like the reality is. And I
used to think about this when I would go and
do my first real gig actually in news when I
was I was an intern for KTLA back in twenty
and eleven or twelve, and I would hop in the
car with a reporter and we would drive to you know,
sam Adino or Long Beach or Riverside or anywhere, you know,
(21:02):
downtown Los Angeles, the Valley. We would go to these
places where unfortunately something had happened, and it was always bad.
It always led the news and was on at ten
and eleven PM. And I remember thinking, my god, we're
going to these people's homes on the worst day of
their lives or wherever this thing happened, whether it's a
car accident or a home invasion, a robbery, shooting, whatever,
(21:26):
we are going to go highlight them and profile them
on the worst day of their lives mostly, And as
we go there, we're going to put this story on
as a representation of everything that's happening in southern California today.
(21:47):
You'll see the news, the open will happen, Sharon Michael
will come out and say two people are dead after
a car went into a house or whatever. But as
we would go there, I would think about this. I'd
look in the traffic on the freeway on the five
probably over it. How many millions of people are we
passing every single day who have nothing to do with this,
(22:08):
who are not impacted by this at all, who are
going about their day, having good days, bad at whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
They're just living.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
And so the outside sort of sense of negativity I
think that you get of what's really happening in the.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
News, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I think you can argue, especially with social media now,
it makes it feel like things are really bad, more
so than they've ever been. For some people, that's probably true,
but most of us are just going through the life
every single day, trying to just get through it, I think.
But CBS News put together a list of some things
that I think are pretty nice to talk about, things
(22:46):
that were good stories.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
This year.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Starting with the War on microplastics, Scientists at scale are
creating compostable plastic.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's pretty right.
Speaker 11 (23:00):
This cup, this shrink wrap may look like ordinary plastic,
but this stuff is made from sugar cane and it's
completely biodegradable.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's compostable plastic.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And the key is that they break down, yeah, and
they don't leave microplastics.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
This is the finished product black gold.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
In fact, the first program involved the use of improv techniques.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh well, that's a different story, but let's go back
to the black Gold. So essentially what it is is
made out of, like I said, sugar cane, and it's biodegradable,
so that when it breaks down in your compost bin
or in even a landfill if it ends up there,
it's not breaking down into a million different little microplastics
that obviously end up in your body everywhere. Everything is microplastics.
(23:47):
You can't go to sleep, wake up, walk, breathe anything
without a microplastic. We don't even know what microplastics do
to us, by the way, but now we have an
opportunity at least for the sugar microplastics to decompose, and
there's not a problem with that anymore. At least as
far as that goes. I don't know if that makes
(24:07):
it more. Since it's sugarcane, is it sweet? Is it edible?
Do bugs like it? You would think they probably figured
this out, but I don't know. Another thing that we've
talked a lot about is how people, especially man, if
you were at Thanksgiving or at a Christmas with family members,
somebody start going off on something political.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
And you're thinking, oh my god, here we go.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Well, now they're actually teaching how to disagree in college.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
In fact, the first program involved the use of improv techniques.
For example, imagine that your job is to rant for
one full minute about something that makes you very, very angry.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Wouldn't know anybody around here who's that job.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
My job is to take that information and present to
everybody what it is that you value, Not why you're angry,
not what you're opposed to, but what is under beneath
the anger that you feel.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I don't know about it will. I feel very.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Hopeful and the students are really leaning in to this
idea that to be a productive member of a multicultural
society we need to be able at least to listen
and understand.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But it's so fun to be self righteous. It feels
so good to be outraged. That's the problem. Whether it's
social media or the regular old media. We made it
so easy for people to just pick up whatever thing
they're angry about, make it part of their personality, make
it so intrinsic to who they are as people.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
How dare you insult me?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I don't know what that is that when your face
gets hot and you start to feel self righteous, someone
wronged you.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Self righteous indignation, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And it's anything from like, oh you said something that
offends me personally from a political or cultural perspective, we
love that is it? Why is that an addicting feeling
to be wronged? Maybe we think growing up, when we're
wronged and someone then comes in and gives us attention
or fixes it, or feeling sympathy, getting the feeling of
(26:07):
someone else having sympathy or empathy for you, that's like
a weirdly addicting thing. But even when it's somebody who
cuts you off going down the freeway and you think,
I'm so mad, I'm gonna freak out. A couple other
things that have happened that are good. There's pop up
wetlands now. So you know, like in migratory situations where
birds fly south or north, they got to stop places.
(26:30):
In California, some ninety percent of all of the layover
the truck stops for the birds have disappeared because development.
But programs like Bird Returns are offering fifty thousand new
acres of bird rest stops here in California and they're
getting paid for it the farmers.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That's pretty exciting.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
They also say that there's a lot of positive stuff
happening with AI and medicine, even though obviously we know
there's a lot of dangers with that. But they say,
in the next few years, we could have a revolution
on our hands. I did not be afraid of it.
I guess that depends on if you take the red
pill or the blue pill. Here's some other things that
CBS discovered that we're kind of nice.
Speaker 11 (27:13):
We won't have time to mention how US homicides dropped
almost twenty percent this year, or how Paris cleaned up
the Sene River so completely that people are now swimming
in it for the first time in one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Remember when they actually cleaned that up, and then they
had the mayor get in I think, and she was like,
I'm going to swim in it, and then finally she
swam in it, and then she got real sick.
Speaker 11 (27:33):
Or how a British charity cleared three hundred thousand land
mines left over from a civil war in Sri Lanka
foot by foot. It took sixteen years, but two hundred
and eighty thousand people have now returned safely home.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Or how four old.
Speaker 11 (27:50):
Dams on the Klamath River in California and Oregon had
cut salmon off from their traditional spawning grounds for over
one hundred years, but once the old were removed last year,
the salmon returned within days. Somehow they remembered. Have a
joyous new year. And remember, bad news breaks suddenly, but
(28:12):
good news happens everywhere all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
See what I'm saying, How David Pogue, he gets it.
Bad news happens quickly. You see that all the time.
It's there to get your attention. But good news is
happening all the time. This is KFIM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
A few minutes here before we get to our three
o'clock hour. And I wanted to make sure that I
got to the New Year's Eve plans heading into twenty
twenty six. How exciting is that a couple of things happening.
Maybe you want to put on your calendar. Maybe you
still don't have plans yet. I think New Year's Eve
is one of those things. It's just such a darn hassle.
It's so expensive. Dinner is nuts. You don't you can't
(28:58):
just go to a regular restaurant and have dinner. Everything
is like a full nine course menu which costs two
hundred dollars indulgent, and you got to deal with the ubers,
which are crazy if you're not going to stay home.
I think it never before has it been more exciting
to stay home. And I will say this compared to
even the pandemic, because we're not being forced to stay home.
(29:21):
It's just great. Now you got so much on TV
to watch. Everything is accessible, everything is normal, and we've
optimized all of it. And it's it's so expensive to
do anything. But if you do want to go out,
especially if maybe you're a younger person, maybe you've got
a significant.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Other and you are you seventy thousand years old today
or some.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
M I feel like it's just like got up to
It's caught up to me finally, Like I you've been
going hard for the past two or three weeks.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
The hot it is you shaking your fist at the heaven.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
I am.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I just I'm pulling that full Eric Spilman. I think
that I generally like going out, but I understand that
it's it now becomes something that even a regular role
like you used to be able to pop down to
the local watering hole, the neighborhood bar, have a burger
for ten bucks, a beer for six Yeah, maybe had
(30:12):
a date for forty dollars. You know, nowadays that world
doesn't exist at all, and it just it makes me sad.
But enough about my sadness. Marina Delray, they're doing fireworks
at nine pm and midnight. You can basically see any
any view of the fireworks from the restaurants in the harbor. Now,
(30:33):
some restaurants host ticketed with like I said, pricey dinners.
But if you can find a spot along the water
and enjoy the fireworks, you can do that for free
in Marina Delray. And because there's one at nine pm
and midnight, you basically have your East Coast and West Coast.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
New Year's covered. It's nice right.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
As far as the actual weather goes, looking like probably
have a chance for some light rain on Wednesday night.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I think maybe Eric Adams was onto something that's right.
Do you remember what he said we should all stay
in a Netflix and show.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
This is a good baby making day.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I just think it's like, in this man's mind.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Home, this is a good baby making day.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Are there any days that aren't? Really? Are there? Are
there days that he would consider not good?
Speaker 6 (31:25):
For that?
Speaker 3 (31:27):
You can go to Universal Studios in Hollywood. They're doing
a thing called eve Eve. Head on down to the
City Walk there at multiple genre theme party areas around
the park, Universal Plaza, Springfield near the Simpsons Ride or
Let's be Real Back to the Future ride and Jurassic
World the Ride, Deserts, beer, wine, champagne. The programming kicks
(31:51):
off at nine pm at Universal Studios in Hollywood. If
you want to go to the Walt Disney Concert Hall
in Downtown LA, you can catch New Year's Eve with
the Roots as part of Casey r Able to use
Novina carmel. Oh, that's the that's a person. I'm dumb,
you know. I listened to Camfin and I'll listen to
a lot about NPR. There's also an event at the
(32:12):
Queen Mary, which we got a preview of on the
KTLA Morning News this morning with Aaron Myers.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Okay, let's talk.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
New Year's Eve.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Set sail into twenty twenty six, all aboard the legendary
Queen Mary, the iconic ocean liner hosting a fabulous New
Year's Eve masquerade soiree and everyone's invited.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
To the magic.
Speaker 12 (32:32):
Yeah, they do all of the holidays on the Queen Mary.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I was just there for fourth of July. I felt like,
here we are at the end of the year.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
Katla's very own sailing sensation.
Speaker 12 (32:40):
Aaron Meyers live aboard the Queen Mary with a sparkling
sneak peak is that I did.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I did an.
Speaker 12 (32:47):
Outfit change, thank you.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
I don't get to dress up often, so.
Speaker 12 (32:50):
I was like, you know, we're going to change it
up a little bit. Yes, it was black, now I
had the green sequence. I'm celebrating New Year's Eve a
little early, but if you're looking for something to do,
you could be here on the Queen Mary.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Take a look.
Speaker 12 (33:03):
We are in the Grand Salon. They are setting up
for brunch, right now, which they do every Sunday, but
on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
I got to tell you, I've done a lot of
coverage of the Queen Mary over over my years of
being a future reporter at KTLA. I think that probably
every three or four months I would get down there
for some reason, whether it's a holiday thing or the renovation,
or some haunted situation that was happening. It was always
driving down to Long Beach to the Queen Mary. And
I loved it because I'm a big fan of ships,
(33:32):
and I like old school stuff, especially old school LA.
And with the renovations that they've done since they've had
a new group takeover, I think the city of Long
Beach actually took over the Queen Mary. It is beautiful,
bringing it back to its original glory. I went down
there probably ten years ago, fifteen years ago maybe for
New Years, and I had a blast because you're on
the water, there's fireworks, there's a feeling of a very
(33:54):
almost like old school, fancy Titanic esc vibe. It just
feels good to dress up like that and go and
go down there. It took us like two and a
half hours to get there and back, you know, because
this is the time before they even had ubers. So
your mind, lige may vary on that as well. But
I remember being there so many times, and I got
in so much trouble doing a live shot because I
(34:14):
called the ship a boat. You cannot call a large
vessel a boat, and you will hear from the boat people.
The ship folk will come after you if you dare
to call that her Queen Mary, a ship a boat
(34:39):
rather and not a ship, right, Is that right?
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
And it's crazy because it's like it was one of
the first moments that I realized that, like, oh wow,
a lot of people are watching the KTLING morning news
because I said that, and I just was offhandedly speaking.
I just said, oh yeah, so dude, tell me more
about this a cool boat or something like that. You know, no,
you do not call it a boat. I think is
a ship, and she deserves respect. I remember before the
(35:05):
city took over, it was in some sort of disrepair.
It needed a lot of work. I mean, this ship
doesn't even go anywhere, It just sits there in the water,
and it still needs all this work. And I think
that the news headline was something like three hundred million
dollars in repair or something. Like that, and we were
(35:25):
doing a show, Bobby Gonzalez and I were doing a
show on KTLA and we were talking about that seems
like a lot of money, and we got into it.
We were like, that's crazy, that's so much money for
that that ship that doesn't even go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
ILM was called a boat.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
And we went on for probably five or six minutes
talking about it, and then after the end of the
show we got called into our boss's office.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
He said, you do not.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
You should not be saying that that is a lot
of money, because you have no idea if that's a
lot of money or not to fix a boat like that.
And I said to him, sir, it's a ship coming
up in the next hour. Is it the end of
the line for the Hey guys online? Is the modern
influencer dead with AI with check out my haul from
(36:14):
Sephora with come with me to see this new seven
course meal restaurant that costs three hundred dollars?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Are we done with that? I'm done with it? Is
gen Z done with it? That's interesting?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Plus going into twenty twenty six, what are the trends
that may change the way homes in America look in
twenty twenty six, Eileen, I'm excited to get your hot
takes on these, like what kind of architecture styles are
we seeing in twenty twenty six, what kind of interior design,
what are the vibes, what are the aesthetics going to
(36:50):
look like for people in their homes? And more things
for us to spend money on.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I hate this.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You go on the Internet and it's like, Ah, you
know that thing that you bought that was really trendy,
that green couch two or three years ago. Throw it away,
Gotta buy a new thing now. You don't want to
see millennial green, do you? Millennial green is the new
millennial gray. You don't want to seem old, do you?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
He wants shabby sheeic back. Oh you and my mom
for sure. I couldn't stand chabby sheet. It was awful.
It's great.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Sometimes I like to go to the home goods and
I like to look at all the the home goods.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah, you know homegos the Facebook.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
I like to go to home Goods and look at
all the trash before it ends up in the landfill.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
They have some really interesting stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Sometimes there's good stuff, but I swear every single time
I go there, I buy something because I don't know
what I'm doing, but I'm with my girlfriend and I'm like, yeah,
that's good, you know, because eventually you just have to
buy stuff because you're so dang bored, and you're like, yeah,
sure whatever, I'll buy that, and you get at.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Home You're like, this looks insane? What was I thinking?
What did I Why did I buy that?
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Do you buy like signs from there that say like home.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Gather, live, laugh, love now.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I bought a very large framed artwork, like photo of
a couple cars finishing a race in Monaco, like cool
old Ferraris from some maybe late fifties, early sixties, and
this thing was huge. This thing was like probably forty
(38:22):
eight inches by forty eight inches. It was huge. And
I got it home and she's like what why did
you buy? Where are you even gonna put this? And
I was like, no, it's cool cars. She's like, it's so.
It was like so dark black frame. It looked insane
in the house and I had to return it. But
that's okay, all that coming up and more. This is

little Brady Bunch action maybe Little Beverly Hillbillies.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
It's like I was raised by very intense parents, you
know who like really liked their culture of of of
boomer sixties seventies music. That was our whole touch All
of our touchdownes were that. So like, I didn't get
to do normal kid stuff. We couldn't watch cartoons, weren't
allowed to do the normal kid things. It was like, now,
(02:17):

Speaker 2 (02:27):
A little bit. I didn't know this.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Why don't you want you to drop some info in
the group chat about you did a show last night?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, I mean it was a it's a it's called
Schoony Gee's Holiday Reunion Show. So they do this once
a year and it's just a bunch of local musicians
get together and they jam. And you said to be
part of it. Yeah, at the at the Rainbow Room
at the Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
On the world famous Yeah, absolutely, world famous sunset strip.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Have you had you played at that at that spot before? No,
that was a first. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I used to play at the Roxy back in then day.
Oh nice, and that was like a huge like, oh
my god, I can't believe we played at the Viper Room.
I know, I know, I know, and you'd be like, whoa.
I remember being at the Viper Room and sending a
picture to my parents and they were like Rivers Phoenix
died there, Like I know, but we played a show here.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What do you think about that? Are you? Are you
doing drugs?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That was twenty years before this happen, Like I had,
what is it? It's a very it's a.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Very parent thing, you know, when you say something you're
excited about and then they're like yes and someone and
here's the famous person who died around that thing.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Did you play the Viper Room when it was owned
by Johnny Depp?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I would have been twenty early twenty teens, like probably
twenty eleven, so maybe, so maybe when did Johnny Depp
sell Viper Room google in? He sold it in two
thousand and four, so Noma, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I
mean it was you know, it's not like I think
even if he had he had owned it, he would
(03:57):
have come to the show. I can't imagine he was like,
just like hankering to see a bunch of midwesterners play
piano rock guys in sweater vests. Doesn't seem like his scene.
But I'm happy for we're gonna play, I think. Sometime
later a little clip from uh did I hear a
Guns and Roses song?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Is that what you were doing?
Speaker 7 (04:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I did led Zeppelin rock and Roll? Okay yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:19):
And ac DC Highway to Hell heck yeah yeah, this
is all These are all class get up there and
dance and scream like that. It's like all right to
feel good.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Do you get to get out there and sing a
lot these days?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, kind of that's huge. When's the next show? Open
mic on Monday? How about that?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Where's that Jamison's and Santa Monica's cool? But oh god, yeah,
stalkers No, no, stokers.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
No stock don't okay, any stalkers, please don't come. But
if you want to go see some good live music,
Jamison is a great place.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Since we're just doing we're doing covers covers. We usually
do half half of our own stuff and half covers.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That is, that's the way to do it. You know,
and you got it. It's it's tough, it's fine. I
know the the audience loves it when you do all covers,
but I think it's a lot more fun when you don't,
you know what I mean. I think it's a more
fun thing to do when you do your own music.
As a musician, I think so.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But I'm playing bass on this one. I'm not. I'm
singing one song, but I'm mostly playing bass. Amazing, what
kind you got? I have a Hoffner?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Look at you, Paul McCartney. Are you a lefty as well? No, no,
it doesn't matter. I mean, I think it's it's annoying
to be a left handed guitar player because they have
to play either upside down, they have to flip the
guitar over, or they have to buy separate kind of guitars.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I used to be a left handed bass player and
I quit because I had no musical ability.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And you're right, it's tough being a lefty.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's because everybody. Also, most people are right handed. I
think the majority of people are, and so especially when
you're trying to learn and you're looking at somebody else,
try to play. Not a lot of left handed tutorials.
But I'm excited for you. Bass is fun, Hoffner based,
very cool. Those are really neat, neat sound and basses.
Let's talk about in the show here. This is happening
(06:00):
right now. I'm looking at CNN and Fox News right now,
which are in the studio. There's a press conference going
on at mar A Lago with President Trump, who is
currently wrapping up a meeting with Ukraine President Vladimir Zelenski.
They are in final steps, so the two of them
say to end the war in Russia and Ukraine. There
(06:22):
are some concessions at least going into the meeting that
vlad Putin wanted Vladimir Zelenski to make, which mostly includes,
as you heard probably in that news update about ten
minutes ago, the Donbas region, which is an area that
has been hotly contested, is technically Ukraine. The Ukrainian government
(06:43):
and the Ukrainian people obviously don't want to give up
that area. Russia would like to increase its land mass
in that part of Europe, so of course that is
one of the reasons that they're all fighting over that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So we will get you updated.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm sure about what comes out of that meeting if
there is an agreement. I know Ukraine was looking for
a sixty day cease fire out of that, and like
I said, I'm sure we'll have more on that coming up.
But I want to bring it back here because we had,
of course that storm. Now we're looking ahead here towards
New Year's Day where it looks like there's going to
be another storm on the way, and before that we
(07:18):
will have a little bit of a wind storm.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Okay, let's talk about the weather because Santa Ana wind
event starts today. Once the winds die down, here comes
more rain today and tomorrow, those sunny sky is expected
for everyone. In addition to those really gusty winds. Our
air quality is good to moderate for everyone today and
really those winds have started. But as we head into
later this afternoon and evening and those overnight hours into
Monday morning, this is when that Santa Anna wind corridor
(07:42):
really starts to see those strong guns.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
So we're looking at a wind advisory in effect between
seven and ten pm tonight, and then a high wind
watch which will start at ten pm, and you're looking
at winds between forty forty five fifty miles an hour
in those typical Santa Ana wind corridors, all right, So
that's the mountain passes, the valleys, the desarts. So right
here in Burbank you're gonna probably start to feel some
of that into the overnight hours, and then by the
(08:05):
time we get into Wednesday, we probably will start to
see some showers Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday evening. So if you
are traveling for New Year's which i am, I'm trying
to get on out of here early because you gotta
hit the road, you're gonna be in that rain. And
as we know, especially from the last few days last week,
it can be deadly. It can be real dangerous, and
there's more nightmares, especially if you're heading out towards the
(08:27):
East coast, where thousands of flights have been canceled delayed
because of a northeaster.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
This morning, that powerful winter storm that dropped heavy snow
and ice over the Northeast, still wreaking havoc on post
holiday travel, snow blanketing city, some cloud trucks in overdrive
New York City, picking up at least four inches seven
in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and upstate in Hartwick, New York, nearly
a foot. Much of that snow freezing overnight, creating dangerous
(08:54):
black ice for drivers. This system bringing air travel to
a slow crawl. At least eleven thousand delays and cancelations yesterday,
most of them in and out of the Northeast. At
JFK and Logan Airport, long lines, passengers swarming the gates
waiting for updates, some for hours.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And if you're in New York City and you're looking
ahead to the next few days, it's going to continue
to be bad. And they're just asking you to stay inside,
including Mayor Eric Adams outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped
this gem of a statement, say.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Home, this is a good baby making day. You know,
we want to improve their population, you know, so you know,
as my son would say, just do Netflix and chill.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
And of course I googled how many kids does Eric
Adams have? But I think this is a drop.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Say home, this is a good baby making day.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
That's a good drop. I'm going to keep that forever somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Then, I think with the New York post posted on Twitter,
Mayor Adams bizarrely calls New Year's Day a good baby
making day, and then the mayor quote tweeted it and said, no,
Lie is detected in all apps only has one kit.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
There you have it. I don't know, man, stay home.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
This is a good baby making day.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Coming up, we're gonna talk about that gas leak, a
major disruption on the five Freeway. Santa Clarita is not
a place that you talk about way back to the
Aliso Canyon League. That is not a place where people
want to be dealing with a gas leak and the
five Freeway, especially during the holidays. I swear every single
time I get to push alert about something horrible happening,
a crash, a backup, a dramatic scenario, it is always
(10:33):
the Five.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So we'll get all.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
That news out of the way, but then we will
talk about some good news and also a few days
from now New Year's events in Los Angeles, what you
can do still if you haven't made plans, some fun ideas.
That's all coming up. This is the Andy Reesmeier Show.
We're on CAFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is the Andy Reesmeier Show. Just passed two twenty
here on this beautiful Sunday. If you're out looking at
the world today after like a week of NonStop rain,
I wouldn't blame you. Maybe you're in the car driving
to the mall. This is the Golden Week of Los Angeles,
that period of time when everybody has gone. You can
(11:18):
get a reservation at any restaurant. For the most part,
you can actually go do stuff. The traffic isn't too bad,
although I think tonight especially people are going to start
getting on the roads again heading back home after the
holiday season. But I was at the mall man and
I could not believe how nobody was there.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It was amazing. I was like, this is great. We
should do this all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Speaking of being in a traffic situation that's not super great.
The Five Freeways I was talking before, always a nightmare.
There's sometimes when I have to go down, like if
I'm going for work down to Orange County to do
something down there, I was like, I would do anything
in my power to avoid the five Freeway. It's just
always under construction, especially through parts of southern Los Angeles County.
(12:03):
And if you get you know, to Orange County and
the road switches from being this just like complete utter
nightmare potholes all of a sudden, it's just nice and smooth,
But if you go north, bigger problems.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Yesterday overnight, a gas leak in California, forcing a major
freeway to shut down, causing traffic and concerns for commuters.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
We spelled gas as soon as we got into Santa
Clarita coming from Fillmore area.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Video showing the gas violently bursting into the air, kicking
up debris and visible for miles away.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It's crazy when it's like gas is so intense, it's
coming out at such a clip that you can actually
visualize it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You could see it blowing the dust of the hill out.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Authority shutting down the freeway, worried over the possible cause
of the leak within.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
The way out, the potential of a major explosion. That's
when we've shut down all you know, freeways in the
im mediate area.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Traffic backed up as far as the eye could see
some drivers stuck on the road for more than three hours.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
People are aggravated, for sure. Men in line for like
an hour and thirty minutes already.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
We're just like asked as Californians to sit and wait
for things. I had no idea that living in LA
for fifteen years would just mean that I would be
normalized to the idea of every once in a while
going somewhere and you might have to just sit there
for a minute. I was heading over the hill last
Sunday after the show popped in the car, drove over
the four or five they had, and I have my
(13:32):
own ignorance for not paying attention to this. But you know,
they're doing off and on construction, and it's not like
they just have a couple of back hose or dump
trucks going up and down the street.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
There.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
They have k rails in the middle of the freeway.
They are moving the northbound and southbound traffic so that
the southbound lanes don't even go on the normal part
of the four or five. They just cut over onto
the northbound lanes, divide the freeway in half, so you
go down from seven or whatever eight lanes down to
(14:05):
what feels like three lanes each direction, So a normal
Sunday afternoon trip which would again take you, like I
don't know, fifteen minutes to get over the hill in
a good situation, as long as there's not an accident
on Sunday afternoon, it is like an hour long trip.
And I'm sitting there like, why didn't anybody tell me
about this? I'm like one of those people who comments
on why is no one talking about this? I'm sure
(14:29):
we were talking about it and I just didn't pay
attention to it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Eileen, have you heard about this?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Which one the four or five freeway into LA from
the valley with the construction on the weekends where they
nightmare on?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yes, real, it took me two hours to get home.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
What from the did you try? Because you were going
from West Hollywood over. I was coming from here, oh
oh oh to West Side that's right, because you live
down in the Bay or.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
The South Bay. Yeah, yeah, I guess Marinadel Race, my
South Bay.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
What happened was my GPS my car told me to
exit on Supulvita.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh, get around it, right.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
But then they had all of the entrances to get
back on the freeway closed, and I just sat on Supulvita.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I ever, I feel like I'm pretty connected to what's
going on in the world thing, you know, working in news,
And when I got stuck in it, I was like,
how did I not know about this?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah? I mean I knew about it, I just didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I think the thing was I was stuck on Supulvita
and I could see traffic on the four or five moving.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, that's right, because that Supulvita is just two lanes.
So you got everybody thinking, oh, this will be the
quick move. What you got to do is got to
go down to Pank Canyon. Actually I don't know if
that's open now because of the rain. But you go
go to pch come down that way. Matter of fact,
go up to San Francisco, hop on a plane, fly
down to Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It'd be fast.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's how you can do it. Yeah, it's just crazy.
It's just crazy. And now the Castaic area that gas
link rather from yesterday which was reported just before four thirty,
the freeway is reopened. As far as what exactly is
going on if it's still leaking a little bit, I
(16:07):
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Oh, just back then where to go?
Speaker 7 (16:10):
The immediate area receiving a shelter in place order that's
since been lifted, the freeway reopening shortly before nine pm Saturday,
the smell of gas subsiding by nightfall, Officials eventually finding
and stopping the source of the leak, confirming that no
explosion had occurred in declaring the area safe dark.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So it's over. That's good.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
But what a freaky thing, man, especially if you think
about it, at least o Canyon gas leak and the
storage facility up there, that really was. I mean, people
had to sell their homes and they had to move
because they just said, I can't take it anymore. The
stakes some good news you made a missed in twenty
twenty five. Everybody's talking about how difficult everything was the
(16:53):
last year. I swear this happens every single year where
there's all these end of the year recaps. Someone says,
this year is over in parentheses, Oh thank god, it
was terrible. It was a terrible year. Good Ridding's never
seen a year that bad before. I feel like, truly
(17:14):
every year and this year is no different. CBS News
compiled a bunch of good news stories though, things that
are that are good, that happened that made people feel good.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It probably didn't make.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It to a lot of your h a lot of
your feeds, because of course, you know, good news isn't
triggering like bad news is. When we come back, I
will get into some of those things. Plus where you
should go for New Year's Eve here in southern California,
lots of opportunities. Maybe the Queen Mary down to Long Beach.
Now would you call Long Beach the South Bay?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. Does it end at Palace Verdies.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I feel like it's the south end of the South
Bay and then like you hop over the little like
Seal Beach area and it becomes Orange County.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, oh for sure. Long Beach obviously is La County.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
But I Long Beach has its own thing outside of
the South Bay. Like I wouldn't call San Pedro South Bay.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Maybe it is Pedro is its own place.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But when I think about areas like Marina del Rey
or I'm sorry, not Marine Delay, Manhattan Beach, Manhattan, h Elsea, Gundo,
is that South Bay?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I think that's a South bay that is. Yeah. What
about Palos Verdices well.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
North side of the peninsula, Sure, I think I think
Palas Verdies has got to be South Bay.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I agree, well, then Long Beach would be, you would
I don't, but I don't know. I wonder Long.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Beach is its own city, Isn't It is its own city?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
But so is Redondo? Right, there's a mayor of Verdondo.
There's a mayor of right. I think Redonda, Verdando Beach
is its own city. Hermosa is its own city. I
know Manhattan Beaches. Yeah, so I don't know. The rules
around here are kind of whack.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I was talking about this to somebody over the weekend,
somebody from out of town who came in and was like, okay,
so do you can you explain how in Sea know
in Sherman Oaks and Studio City, those are cities, right,
It's like, no, not really, but the address says Sherman Oaks.
It's like, yes, but it's Los Angeles because there's no
mayor of Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
It does it.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
It's very confusing to these kind of hard hitting journalistic things.
I had a listener who I had to block because
I was just so over it messaged me that saying
that the show that I did last week was less
spicy than mayonnaise and I was like, what in the like,
what kind of spicy are you looking for? So I
went and looked at his profile and it was like
(19:32):
all only fans chicks, and I was like, well, I like, well,
I don't know what kind of spicy you're looking for, sir.
Kind of spicy, right, So.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I put it on. I put it on the NUS.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I put it on ktlas a comment because I do
a section or a second.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Or other way.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I read comments from people. And then he hit me
up again and he was like, oh man, this is
the least at least you got to be more interested,
because the least spicy thing I've ever heard. And so
I was like, all right, this is just troll and
I got a block. But hater's gonna hate Mario. Are
we spicy enough for you today? Do we need to
kick it up a notch here? No, you guys are
perfectly fine. Okay, good, try to match at the level
(20:10):
with the music coming up for the show.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Ooh, all right, well I'll look forward to what comes next.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
A lot of bad news of the last year. This
is all something that we know well enough, especially if
you pay attention to the news if you've been watching.
We had the fires in January, had a lot of
really high level or at least I wouldn't say high
level is the right word, but we had a lot
of very public some terrible terrorist attacks. We had a
(20:42):
lot of shootings. I mean, there was a lot of stuff.
And I think that like the reality is. And I
used to think about this when I would go and
do my first real gig actually in news when I
was I was an intern for KTLA back in twenty
and eleven or twelve, and I would hop in the
car with a reporter and we would drive to you know,
sam Adino or Long Beach or Riverside or anywhere, you know,
(21:02):
downtown Los Angeles, the Valley. We would go to these
places where unfortunately something had happened, and it was always bad.
It always led the news and was on at ten
and eleven PM. And I remember thinking, my god, we're
going to these people's homes on the worst day of
their lives or wherever this thing happened, whether it's a
car accident or a home invasion, a robbery, shooting, whatever,
(21:26):
we are going to go highlight them and profile them
on the worst day of their lives mostly, And as
we go there, we're going to put this story on
as a representation of everything that's happening in southern California today.
(21:47):
You'll see the news, the open will happen, Sharon Michael
will come out and say two people are dead after
a car went into a house or whatever. But as
we would go there, I would think about this. I'd
look in the traffic on the freeway on the five
probably over it. How many millions of people are we
passing every single day who have nothing to do with this,
(22:08):
who are not impacted by this at all, who are
going about their day, having good days, bad at whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
They're just living.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
And so the outside sort of sense of negativity I
think that you get of what's really happening in the.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
News, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I think you can argue, especially with social media now,
it makes it feel like things are really bad, more
so than they've ever been. For some people, that's probably true,
but most of us are just going through the life
every single day, trying to just get through it, I think.
But CBS News put together a list of some things
that I think are pretty nice to talk about, things
(22:46):
that were good stories.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
This year.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Starting with the War on microplastics, Scientists at scale are
creating compostable plastic.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's pretty right.
Speaker 11 (23:00):
This cup, this shrink wrap may look like ordinary plastic,
but this stuff is made from sugar cane and it's
completely biodegradable.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's compostable plastic.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And the key is that they break down, yeah, and
they don't leave microplastics.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
This is the finished product black gold.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
In fact, the first program involved the use of improv techniques.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh well, that's a different story, but let's go back
to the black Gold. So essentially what it is is
made out of, like I said, sugar cane, and it's biodegradable,
so that when it breaks down in your compost bin
or in even a landfill if it ends up there,
it's not breaking down into a million different little microplastics
that obviously end up in your body everywhere. Everything is microplastics.
(23:47):
You can't go to sleep, wake up, walk, breathe anything
without a microplastic. We don't even know what microplastics do
to us, by the way, but now we have an
opportunity at least for the sugar microplastics to decompose, and
there's not a problem with that anymore. At least as
far as that goes. I don't know if that makes
(24:07):
it more. Since it's sugarcane, is it sweet? Is it edible?
Do bugs like it? You would think they probably figured
this out, but I don't know. Another thing that we've
talked a lot about is how people, especially man, if
you were at Thanksgiving or at a Christmas with family members,
somebody start going off on something political.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
And you're thinking, oh my god, here we go.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Well, now they're actually teaching how to disagree in college.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
In fact, the first program involved the use of improv techniques.
For example, imagine that your job is to rant for
one full minute about something that makes you very, very angry.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Wouldn't know anybody around here who's that job.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
My job is to take that information and present to
everybody what it is that you value, Not why you're angry,
not what you're opposed to, but what is under beneath
the anger that you feel.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I don't know about it will. I feel very.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Hopeful and the students are really leaning in to this
idea that to be a productive member of a multicultural
society we need to be able at least to listen
and understand.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But it's so fun to be self righteous. It feels
so good to be outraged. That's the problem. Whether it's
social media or the regular old media. We made it
so easy for people to just pick up whatever thing
they're angry about, make it part of their personality, make
it so intrinsic to who they are as people.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
How dare you insult me?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I don't know what that is that when your face
gets hot and you start to feel self righteous, someone
wronged you.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Self righteous indignation, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And it's anything from like, oh you said something that
offends me personally from a political or cultural perspective, we
love that is it? Why is that an addicting feeling
to be wronged? Maybe we think growing up, when we're
wronged and someone then comes in and gives us attention
or fixes it, or feeling sympathy, getting the feeling of
(26:07):
someone else having sympathy or empathy for you, that's like
a weirdly addicting thing. But even when it's somebody who
cuts you off going down the freeway and you think,
I'm so mad, I'm gonna freak out. A couple other
things that have happened that are good. There's pop up
wetlands now. So you know, like in migratory situations where
birds fly south or north, they got to stop places.
(26:30):
In California, some ninety percent of all of the layover
the truck stops for the birds have disappeared because development.
But programs like Bird Returns are offering fifty thousand new
acres of bird rest stops here in California and they're
getting paid for it the farmers.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That's pretty exciting.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
They also say that there's a lot of positive stuff
happening with AI and medicine, even though obviously we know
there's a lot of dangers with that. But they say,
in the next few years, we could have a revolution
on our hands. I did not be afraid of it.
I guess that depends on if you take the red
pill or the blue pill. Here's some other things that
CBS discovered that we're kind of nice.
Speaker 11 (27:13):
We won't have time to mention how US homicides dropped
almost twenty percent this year, or how Paris cleaned up
the Sene River so completely that people are now swimming
in it for the first time in one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Remember when they actually cleaned that up, and then they
had the mayor get in I think, and she was like,
I'm going to swim in it, and then finally she
swam in it, and then she got real sick.
Speaker 11 (27:33):
Or how a British charity cleared three hundred thousand land
mines left over from a civil war in Sri Lanka
foot by foot. It took sixteen years, but two hundred
and eighty thousand people have now returned safely home.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Or how four old.
Speaker 11 (27:50):
Dams on the Klamath River in California and Oregon had
cut salmon off from their traditional spawning grounds for over
one hundred years, but once the old were removed last year,
the salmon returned within days. Somehow they remembered. Have a
joyous new year. And remember, bad news breaks suddenly, but
(28:12):
good news happens everywhere all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
See what I'm saying, How David Pogue, he gets it.
Bad news happens quickly. You see that all the time.
It's there to get your attention. But good news is
happening all the time. This is KFIM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
A few minutes here before we get to our three
o'clock hour. And I wanted to make sure that I
got to the New Year's Eve plans heading into twenty
twenty six. How exciting is that a couple of things happening.
Maybe you want to put on your calendar. Maybe you
still don't have plans yet. I think New Year's Eve
is one of those things. It's just such a darn hassle.
It's so expensive. Dinner is nuts. You don't you can't
(28:58):
just go to a regular restaurant and have dinner. Everything
is like a full nine course menu which costs two
hundred dollars indulgent, and you got to deal with the ubers,
which are crazy if you're not going to stay home.
I think it never before has it been more exciting
to stay home. And I will say this compared to
even the pandemic, because we're not being forced to stay home.
(29:21):
It's just great. Now you got so much on TV
to watch. Everything is accessible, everything is normal, and we've
optimized all of it. And it's it's so expensive to
do anything. But if you do want to go out,
especially if maybe you're a younger person, maybe you've got
a significant.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Other and you are you seventy thousand years old today
or some.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
M I feel like it's just like got up to
It's caught up to me finally, Like I you've been
going hard for the past two or three weeks.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
The hot it is you shaking your fist at the heaven.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
I am.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I just I'm pulling that full Eric Spilman. I think
that I generally like going out, but I understand that
it's it now becomes something that even a regular role
like you used to be able to pop down to
the local watering hole, the neighborhood bar, have a burger
for ten bucks, a beer for six Yeah, maybe had
(30:12):
a date for forty dollars. You know, nowadays that world
doesn't exist at all, and it just it makes me sad.
But enough about my sadness. Marina Delray, they're doing fireworks
at nine pm and midnight. You can basically see any
any view of the fireworks from the restaurants in the harbor. Now,
(30:33):
some restaurants host ticketed with like I said, pricey dinners.
But if you can find a spot along the water
and enjoy the fireworks, you can do that for free
in Marina Delray. And because there's one at nine pm
and midnight, you basically have your East Coast and West Coast.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
New Year's covered. It's nice right.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
As far as the actual weather goes, looking like probably
have a chance for some light rain on Wednesday night.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I think maybe Eric Adams was onto something that's right.
Do you remember what he said we should all stay
in a Netflix and show.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
This is a good baby making day.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I just think it's like, in this man's mind.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Home, this is a good baby making day.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Are there any days that aren't? Really? Are there? Are
there days that he would consider not good?
Speaker 6 (31:25):
For that?
Speaker 3 (31:27):
You can go to Universal Studios in Hollywood. They're doing
a thing called eve Eve. Head on down to the
City Walk there at multiple genre theme party areas around
the park, Universal Plaza, Springfield near the Simpsons Ride or
Let's be Real Back to the Future ride and Jurassic
World the Ride, Deserts, beer, wine, champagne. The programming kicks
(31:51):
off at nine pm at Universal Studios in Hollywood. If
you want to go to the Walt Disney Concert Hall
in Downtown LA, you can catch New Year's Eve with
the Roots as part of Casey r Able to use
Novina carmel. Oh, that's the that's a person. I'm dumb,
you know. I listened to Camfin and I'll listen to
a lot about NPR. There's also an event at the
(32:12):
Queen Mary, which we got a preview of on the
KTLA Morning News this morning with Aaron Myers.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Okay, let's talk.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
New Year's Eve.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Set sail into twenty twenty six, all aboard the legendary
Queen Mary, the iconic ocean liner hosting a fabulous New
Year's Eve masquerade soiree and everyone's invited.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
To the magic.
Speaker 12 (32:32):
Yeah, they do all of the holidays on the Queen Mary.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I was just there for fourth of July. I felt like,
here we are at the end of the year.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
Katla's very own sailing sensation.
Speaker 12 (32:40):
Aaron Meyers live aboard the Queen Mary with a sparkling
sneak peak is that I did.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I did an.
Speaker 12 (32:47):
Outfit change, thank you.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
I don't get to dress up often, so.
Speaker 12 (32:50):
I was like, you know, we're going to change it
up a little bit. Yes, it was black, now I
had the green sequence. I'm celebrating New Year's Eve a
little early, but if you're looking for something to do,
you could be here on the Queen Mary.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Take a look.
Speaker 12 (33:03):
We are in the Grand Salon. They are setting up
for brunch, right now, which they do every Sunday, but
on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
I got to tell you, I've done a lot of
coverage of the Queen Mary over over my years of
being a future reporter at KTLA. I think that probably
every three or four months I would get down there
for some reason, whether it's a holiday thing or the renovation,
or some haunted situation that was happening. It was always
driving down to Long Beach to the Queen Mary. And
I loved it because I'm a big fan of ships,
(33:32):
and I like old school stuff, especially old school LA.
And with the renovations that they've done since they've had
a new group takeover, I think the city of Long
Beach actually took over the Queen Mary. It is beautiful,
bringing it back to its original glory. I went down
there probably ten years ago, fifteen years ago maybe for
New Years, and I had a blast because you're on
the water, there's fireworks, there's a feeling of a very
(33:54):
almost like old school, fancy Titanic esc vibe. It just
feels good to dress up like that and go and
go down there. It took us like two and a
half hours to get there and back, you know, because
this is the time before they even had ubers. So
your mind, lige may vary on that as well. But
I remember being there so many times, and I got
in so much trouble doing a live shot because I
(34:14):
called the ship a boat. You cannot call a large
vessel a boat, and you will hear from the boat people.
The ship folk will come after you if you dare
to call that her Queen Mary, a ship a boat
(34:39):
rather and not a ship, right, Is that right?
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
And it's crazy because it's like it was one of
the first moments that I realized that, like, oh wow,
a lot of people are watching the KTLING morning news
because I said that, and I just was offhandedly speaking.
I just said, oh yeah, so dude, tell me more
about this a cool boat or something like that. You know, no,
you do not call it a boat. I think is
a ship, and she deserves respect. I remember before the
(35:05):
city took over, it was in some sort of disrepair.
It needed a lot of work. I mean, this ship
doesn't even go anywhere, It just sits there in the water,
and it still needs all this work. And I think
that the news headline was something like three hundred million
dollars in repair or something. Like that, and we were
(35:25):
doing a show, Bobby Gonzalez and I were doing a
show on KTLA and we were talking about that seems
like a lot of money, and we got into it.
We were like, that's crazy, that's so much money for
that that ship that doesn't even go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
ILM was called a boat.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
And we went on for probably five or six minutes
talking about it, and then after the end of the
show we got called into our boss's office.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
He said, you do not.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
You should not be saying that that is a lot
of money, because you have no idea if that's a
lot of money or not to fix a boat like that.
And I said to him, sir, it's a ship coming
up in the next hour. Is it the end of
the line for the Hey guys online? Is the modern
influencer dead with AI with check out my haul from
(36:14):
Sephora with come with me to see this new seven
course meal restaurant that costs three hundred dollars?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Are we done with that? I'm done with it? Is
gen Z done with it? That's interesting?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Plus going into twenty twenty six, what are the trends
that may change the way homes in America look in
twenty twenty six, Eileen, I'm excited to get your hot
takes on these, like what kind of architecture styles are
we seeing in twenty twenty six, what kind of interior design,
what are the vibes, what are the aesthetics going to
(36:50):
look like for people in their homes? And more things
for us to spend money on.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I hate this.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You go on the Internet and it's like, Ah, you
know that thing that you bought that was really trendy,
that green couch two or three years ago. Throw it away,
Gotta buy a new thing now. You don't want to
see millennial green, do you? Millennial green is the new
millennial gray. You don't want to seem old, do you?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
He wants shabby sheeic back. Oh you and my mom
for sure. I couldn't stand chabby sheet. It was awful.
It's great.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Sometimes I like to go to the home goods and
I like to look at all the the home goods.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah, you know homegos the Facebook.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
I like to go to home Goods and look at
all the trash before it ends up in the landfill.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
They have some really interesting stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Sometimes there's good stuff, but I swear every single time
I go there, I buy something because I don't know
what I'm doing, but I'm with my girlfriend and I'm like, yeah,
that's good, you know, because eventually you just have to
buy stuff because you're so dang bored, and you're like, yeah,
sure whatever, I'll buy that, and you get at.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Home You're like, this looks insane? What was I thinking?
What did I Why did I buy that?
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Do you buy like signs from there that say like home.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Gather, live, laugh, love now.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I bought a very large framed artwork, like photo of
a couple cars finishing a race in Monaco, like cool
old Ferraris from some maybe late fifties, early sixties, and
this thing was huge. This thing was like probably forty
(38:22):
eight inches by forty eight inches. It was huge. And
I got it home and she's like what why did
you buy? Where are you even gonna put this? And
I was like, no, it's cool cars. She's like, it's so.
It was like so dark black frame. It looked insane
in the house and I had to return it. But
that's okay, all that coming up and more. This is
the Andy Rees Myier Show. It's KFI AM six forty.
