you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Let it breathe, Yeah and listen. I'm a huge ac
DC fan. I love led Zeppelin. You know, Van Hamlin
had some amazing stuffy.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Rush doesn't count for anything.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Nothing from Rush will ever be no most overrated band ever.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Rush the drummer was solid.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Hey, you might get supported if they weren't that Canadian.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They weren't Canadian rights from Canada.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now their drummers amazing. I like, don't get me wrong,
I like Rush. I can listen to Rush.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But for people that are like, oh, Rush is the
greatest band of no, stop that stop that. It's great.
But it's not Mark Knopflin, It's not dire Straits.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Did you know that weird Al wanted to do. You
know the story Mark weird Al wanted to do the
mock of of the Money for Nothing song for his
movie vh F, and well said VHS and so he
asked them for permission and they said, you may not
(02:26):
mock our song unless we do it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Is that cool or what? Which is why dire Straits
is actually in VHF. I like that, yeah, and you
know why it's so good because They took a minute
and a half to get to it. That's why it's
so good.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
All the greats take a while to the build up,
builds that anticipation and so worth it kind of like this, Okay,
I'm gonna play you three seconds. You're gonna know exactly
what it is, and you're also gonna know that it
takes three minutes to get to it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Everybody knows the drum solo, greatest drum solo of all times?
Less than three seconds on that?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Can I say?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah? You can?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Magnificent Miami Vice know what what you're about to be deported?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
What it's?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's Phil Collins in the Air Tonight. Yeah, that's from
the Miami. That's what immortalized. That song is the tubs
and Crockett in the car going to do some business
at night. No, that was a different song all again,
you're out of your mind. I mean, I hear what
you're saying. I don't have that one in my library
right now. But that wasn't a takeoff. I mean, I
(03:35):
hear what you're saying. No, little listeners will back me
up on this. That is the song. You're right there
is the in the Air tonight scene. Yeah, it's kind
of creepy. It's not the it's not the theme though, right, No,
the theme is different. That's the an Hammer song. That's
what I thought. Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, but
you're right. Okay, they did do the scene. That was
my high school marching band. That was our drum cadence
(03:55):
that we marched to. Oh lucky.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, they readd the Okay, that's good.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So to edit pretty much all of this music out
in the podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh, the podcast is gonna suck. Oh yeah, you're right,
because when I have the copyright to play it on
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Do we all right? You want me to move on
to like the story I was gonna do.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, why not for the three minutes we have no or.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Just blow out this entire segment for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Let's play some more licensed to music that we can't
use every again.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That's fine. I'm fine with that. Yeah. I like emptying
my library. That's good. Suck. I love.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know what else I have in here, men,
I have a lot of songs in my library that
I can Well, if you're talking about guitar riffs, you
gotta do some Zeppelin. I love Zeppelin and Page was amazing,
Plant Page and Plant together. Very few bands will ever
come close to that. I love Kashmir Immigrant song. Ali
(04:49):
obviously likes the immigrant song.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
But I love the immigrant song.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, of course you do. It's amazing. But I don't
even have that one. Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
How do I not have that one in my library?
You gotta have a whole lot of love in there,
do you know?
Speaker 6 (05:03):
How?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Uh do I? Where's do you know? How I end
up with all the crap my entire libraries. I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'll end up doing like a stupid bit, and I
need the music for the bit, and so I will.
I'll grab the music and then I added to my library.
It's like one song at a time over the last
twenty years, adds up it just yeah it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Like Doors had some decent guitar riffs too. Lam yeah
(05:40):
all right, okay, that's enough. I'll even just delete this
entire thing from the podcast. Don't even worry about posting
this one done? All right, save you some time. I
do want to tell you about this acquisition that's about
the completely changed media across the country.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Although somehow.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
LA specifically not all of southern California, but LA specifically
is avoiding it. I will tell you who in southern
California is going to be affected by it, however, and
how this is likely to create all kinds of gnashing
of teeth.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's next, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty more stimulating talk listen
any time on demand of the iHeartRadio app. All right,
you guys had thoughts. You hit the talk back, and
I appreciate that we have one here. Hold on, what
does this guy say?
Speaker 7 (06:37):
The greatest riff is Bo Diddley's riffs has been forever
and will never get bet.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You talk about the from the Bo Diddley's bow Diddley
is that the one I sure been vetoed can't do it?
I feel like he got to have some Glenn Campbell
in there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Okay, you guys got it all wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Eric loo here, Oh yeah, Eric knows the stuff. Oh
don't yep.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Best riff ever is unchained by van Halen or lay
it down by Warren D. Martini and rat but unchained
by van Halen.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
All right, let's see eighties. They're muddy.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's the truth. Yeah, ruins it, just no, he ruined it,
totally ruined. Nope, can't give that the greatest guitar riff
of all time. Can't do it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's a good effort, but no, A lot of silence
coming from you guys right now, a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Non opinions happening.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'm just trying to decide who to deport.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Me or Ali.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, is that right? One of you has got to go,
Kathleen says, uh, Steve Miller band jet air liner. I
think that's what she said, big old Jeda Airliner.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Let me see. Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I think I do have that one in my library here. Yeah, yeah,
I do like that too. It's not better than money
for nothing, but that's that's that's a good one. We
are living in a blessed time, aren't we. When do
we just have all this access to really great music?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I just love it. I love it so much. I
love it, love it, love it. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I did want to make mention of this, and I
appreciate everybody that's listened to our Shenanigans throughout all of this,
but I wanted to make mentionure of this. You know,
it was just a few weeks ago that we were
talking about Next Star and Tegna, the two big local
media companies that we're talking about merging, and that's when
we had the big blow up over Jimmy Kimmel and
then Next Star and Tegnabo.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Said, yeah, that's it. We're not gonna We're not gonna.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Play the Jimmy Kimmel show, and Next Hour was demanding
that it was the Next Hour, or maybe it was
Sinclair that was demanding that he make a donation to
Charlie Kirk's widow or to his uh uh turning Point USA,
this kind of stuff, And of course nothing came of that.
But one of the things that people were concerned with
is is Next Hour do they mean this when they
(09:21):
pulled Jimmy Kimmel Or was this simply because Brendan Carr,
the the the chair of the FCC was putting pressure
on them and saying, oh, you know, you got this
big deal that you want approved, and now you've got
this mouthpiece in the in the late night that's saying
things that we don't like. Right, So that's obviously that
kind of it blew over after a week, but it
(09:44):
was top news for a week.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Now there's another question.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Because Sinclair was reportedly looking to to to merge with
E W.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Scripts.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Now, there are no Sinclair or Script stations in the
LA market. However, the ABC station in San Diego is
a Script station. When coincidentally, when the Next Star and
Tegna stuff was going down, I actually spoke with uh
an anchor who'd been with Scripts for a very long time,
and he's like, you know, Scripts has been really great.
(10:15):
They've never they've never told us, you know, they've never
handed us any sort of editorial commentary that that they
demanded that we read from on high.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
They never did that. Sinclair has done that.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Sinclair has passed along here's here's the company line, and
we need your anchors to read this, and this is
gonna be something that goes.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So Sinclair has done this before.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So now what's interesting is that Sinclair in Scripts merging would.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Would hit a major.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Pressure point in American politics, and that is who controls
local news. And you're gonna have the Democrats that are saying,
wait a minute, now you've got you've got Republicans. They
want Sinclair, which leans to the right to buy up
more local stations and you want them to have all
this all this uh uh you know control. The Democrats
are gonna what are you doing? You know you can't
do this. This is it's not independent journalism. You're you're
(11:08):
you're trying to make this merger happen with a with
an ownership group that has in the past told their
anchors what to say, and it's been more conservative talking points.
Republicans of course they're gonna support this and they're gonna go, Look,
it has to happen. We have to have consolidation because
the media environment, especially the linear broadcast.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Media, is collapsing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I actually talked about that how streaming is taken away,
not just from cable, but streaming is now you served
uh a linear TV with the exception of things like
news and sports. And what's gonna happen with the FCC? Right, So,
if this merger is going on and these both Sinclair
and Scripts own a number of different uh local stations
(11:51):
that have network affiliations with all the different networks, So
what happens.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
If the President doesn't like something that say?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Seth Meyers says. Seth Myers has recently been very critical
of the President. The President called him out on some
things too, and so in fact, Jake Tapper was talking
about how it's really interesting that the president is he's
focusing in on Seth Myers now because of the business
side that's going out to the back end.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
President Trump apparently, by.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
The way, this is just Jake Tapper just doing his
own little I guess vlog or something.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Saw a clip of the comedian Seth Myers, who has
a show on NBC, and demanded that NBC fire Seth Myers.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Very similar to what happened with Kimmel right immediately.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Okay, I guess we're all used to this kind of
hyper sensitive ranting from the president at this point. But
what was interesting and notable is that Trump's hand picked
very supportive Federal Communications Commission or FCC Chairman, Brendan Carr
screenshot the post untruth social and then posted it on
(12:58):
Twitter himself without comment.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Why is that significant? Yeah? Why, Jake Tapper?
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Because Comcast is the conglomerate that owns NBC.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Ah, and what does that mean?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
And Comcast really really wants Brendan Carr to be on
their side. Why Comcast right now is in the middle
of the whole bunch of stuff, including possibly making a
bid on Warner Brothers Discovery or some of Warner Brothers Discovery,
which wait a minute, owns CNN, I should note.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, you should note that. Yeah, huh, so what does
that mean? Hang on? Where where I lost my marker? Here?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Okay, one minute, And because I think I can make
Jake Tapper more exciting than he's ever been in his
life if I keep doing this right.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Own CNN, I should note Comcast in order to get
in good with President Trump presumably just contributed to President
Trump's ballroom, which really upset a lot of employees of
NBC News and MSNBC or MS.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Now or ether.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, you know what, Jake Tapper, you're kind of boring,
But I think I can help you out here.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Let me see if I can just see if I
can do this.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We were talking about great rifts and you can take anything
this media. Look, we took David Lee Roth and made
him sound exciting, and I don't know why we can't
make the same thing happen with Jake Tapper just by
adding a little bit of yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
What did I tell you?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
All the great rifts they start with a long build up.
So now that we're into a minute, of Jake Tapper
rambling while he's on a walk. Let's go back here
and see if we can just make this a little
more exciting.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Once CNN, I should note, Comcast in order to get
in good with President Trump, presumably just contributed to President
Trump's ballroom.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I think anytime we hear the word ballroom, we.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Should just do that's ballroom.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yep, there it is ballroom.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
In fact, I think we could just mix that whole
thing down and just make it like a just over
and over, we just keep saying ballroom, ballroom, ballroom, right,
and now all of a sudden, Jake Tapper is interesting.
I don't know why CNN doesn't hire me as a consultant, because,
honest to God, I've got the goods to make it work.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Nobody wants to hire me as a consultant.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, you know, Scott Jennings, I'll tell you. Did anybody
You're right, I'm no, Barry Wis. Did anybody come up
with is anybody else.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Come up with?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Ballroom?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Followed by a drum solo? Anybody? No ballroom?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And now you want to listen to what he has
to say because it might be good. Nobody else is
doing that all right, you got to love it. Yep,
I did that. Yeah, there's been another break in at
the Louver. If you haven't heard about this, wait until
you find out what these ne'er do wells did to
(16:04):
the greatest museum on Earth.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Next. I'm Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six on demand.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Hi, Chris Merril AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Listen anytime on demand of the iHeartRadio app, unless, of course,
we use a lot of license music, and then it's
not going to do any good to try to listen
to podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
But whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It has been very difficult for poor Ali because he
started arguing with me off the air about the greatest
guitar riffs.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
And that meant that we had to start playing them.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Ali's also in charge of editing the podcast, and since
we can't play the license content of the podcast, it's
been kind of a nightmare for him to try to
edit things.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I've chomped it up.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah, it's a Frankenstein's Monster of oh okay, podcast, but
it's that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Speaking of Frankenstein's Monster, he also told me that that
I have to watch the new Frankenstein, The Germo del
Toro Frankenstein on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
But I don't have Netflix, Mark, have you seen that one?
I have?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I didn't love it as much as everybody else did.
How much see I love the Kenneth Branna, Robert de
Niro nineties Frankenstein interesting, But that may have been just
because I was like, I was a teenager, and I
was like, it was kind of my first exposure to Frankenstein.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I didn't see any of the classics.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Now you cannot go wrong with the fifties Curse of
Frankenstein with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and it's like
eighty two minutes, you're in and out. Oh okay, Yeah,
those are major names too, so oh, it's terrific those
classics and whatever you think of the Geromo del Toro Frankenstein.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It is long, it is a hall. It's like two
and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It is a slow but is it quite slow?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Yes, Like I felt that way towards the beginning, and
then I go hooked into it.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Oh okay, there's a lot to like about it, but
I just didn't love it. For one thing, it's it's
not a horror.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Movie, definitely, No, It's definitely a fantasy, and it reminded
me a lot of shape of Water. Just oh, Deltur
always makes you want to ready root for the monster.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I didn't love the Shape of Water either. He makes
beautiful movies and you can tell he's a fan and
he knows the classics. He's one of us, all right,
but but a little bit too referential to the source
of material, right, I mean, just just moving along. Tell
a story, let's have some deaths. He's one of us,
all right. Well, it's more like one of us from
Todd plan free okay, one of us, one of us?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh, I got yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We were talking about guitar riffs and a few of
you were leaving talkbacks.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I always appreciate that. How about it to the Boy
and my Black Sabbath?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
All right, I try to pull that, but I'm having
trouble downloading you, if I'm being totally honest, So you're
off the hook on that one. Although you're not gonna
have to edit Black Sabbath out of this, but I
do love Black Sabbath too.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Classic stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Hey guys, tonight we have to add Freebird from Leonard
Skinner to this list.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
It's gotta be on there.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
There's always somebody yelling Freebird, isn't there yeah, the Russian
judges mark you way down if you don't include free Bird.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah. Uh, here's the thing about Freebird.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I can't add that to the list because it's more
of a solo than it is a riff.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
And granted it is one of the great.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Solos of all times. So good, all right, and you're
lucky I sang for you tonight. Should have been a singer.
I don't like to sing too much because honestly, I
should be charging you for it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I'm that good, So I like to do it too much.
But I love Freebird. What did I hear? Hey, Richie,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Because they used to You used to yell Freebird at
the bar whenever you had like a house band playing,
and you go free bird, you know, if you got
drunk enough.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
And what is it?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
They're yelling like somebody's yelling something from it is it
Oasis or something like Wonderwall type thing.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah, that's it, the yell Wonderwall. That's terrible.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yeah, the energy is dead, like we need something more
like you know, right, it's gonna hit you right in
the throat type thing.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Thank you. I just want to be punched right in
the throat.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Tom Soyer.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, whoever that is. Can we please get Ice to
come on by the studio? Yeah, somebody go just go
down and let him in the elevator.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
We'll just let Ice in here. I like keeps bringing
up rush terrible idea.
Speaker 2 (20:14):

be Wild? Oh my gosh, come on, I burned that
tape out. I found my dad's old tape when I
was young. I burned that tape. Oh okay, thank God

Guys. Your dynamite. I mean it, You're just dynamite.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I love everybody that's been paying close attention to what's
going on our Shenanigans.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
This evening. We're talking about guitar riffs and the good
ones and what's that.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Keith Richard solo on twenty one to twenty Michigan Avenue
is the greatest guitar riff ever. Okay, very restrained, and
then he builds just like you said.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
All right, that's how you do it. That's how you
make a good one. I'm with you on that, all right.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Oh my god, how can you leave out Crazy by Heart?
That beginning riff is out of this world? Please play it.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Thanks, good job, Chris.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I hope you take this permanently.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, thank you very much. You're not gonna like what
I have to say. I've never been a Heart fan.
Although crazy as solid, crazy as good, I've just never
been a Heart fan. Olly, will you see if you
can find that because I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Have that one?
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Remind me of the song.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Sorry, it's Crazy by Heart.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
I'm gonna go crazy craze and crazy es Keith Richard solo,
Oh no, you already said that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Hold on, I had there was one more talk back.
Oh okay, this is.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Lisa and I cannot think of this song. But what
about that one where they make the guitar sound like
a person. I cannot think of who did it, but
it sounds like a person talking. That's a real good
guitar guitar riff thing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Go one, the greatest guitar riff thing going.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I think this is what we were after tonight, isn't it?
This is one.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
This is the one that came to mind. There's actually
there's a tool and I've forget what that it's called.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Look, I'm not I wish.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I knew how to play the guitar. I'm not a guitarist.
I played the tuba in high school. Okay, that's how
uncool I am when it comes to use a but
uh uh, you know what.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I also played this susophone for marching band.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Okay, so like I played a few different instruments basically
the same thing. Here's the one that came to mind though,
when you said the guitar that sounds like a person, right,
Does that sound right?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
He's basically saying sweet emotion into like this this sort
of harmonizing pipe sort of thing that merges with the guitar.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Do you think it could have been Peter Frampton? Frampton
had some things too, right, Yeah, yeah, but he had that,
he had that. It wasn't the guitar itself, but it
was some thing. Yeah, it's like a harmonizer thing. Yeah,
I'm not a harmonized Yeah, but there's a there's a
term for it.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, sure there is. And then Mark scholded me off
the air because we never mentioned the Who at all.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, what's wrong with you? Yeah, you're totally right. Shame shame, shame.
You're exactly right. I should have had, should.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Have had the Who.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You got your small wizard, you got your eminence in front, got.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So many good ones.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
Just so you all know how ashamed I am. I
am naked for this entire segment. Oh God, as I'm
being marched through the square, I'm glad we didn't zoom
this shame shame. One of the big stories what last week,
(25:33):
week before was the robbery at the Louver. Did you
see that they had somebody else that got past their
security again, did you catch the story mark, did you
have this in your rundown stuff?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
We a we a we.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So these guys, they're they're Belgian tik takers, and they
snuck into the louver with accustom painting and they hung
it in the loop. Now, it is highly illegal to
bring outside. It's kind of like going to your favorite restaurant.
You don't walk into Morton's with the bag of McDonald's.
That's what did they bring in? Like a Don Martin
(26:05):
from mad kinda?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I think it was like they drew it basically. Okay, yeah,
shame on them.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
So they placed their painting in the same room as
the Mona Lisa and there's actually scanners that are supposed
to catch this stuff, but they here's how they did it.
They put it in a frame made out of legos,
and the legos.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Didn't set off the detectors, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
So as a result, they were then able to hang
their painting inside the louver and then they got that
they they they went TikTok famous on that one.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Kind of embarrassing. For the love that they keep boning
this up. Kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Also, I think they're gonna they're probably gonna get in
trouble for it, but yeah, kind of embarrassing, just the same.
I thought it was funny, thought we'd done the show
on that. I think someone's in deep marred.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Can I say it?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Alie? Do you need to zapp that friends for poo poo?
That's been nice knowing you well anyway, uh Ollie, I'm
gonna let you stay in this country for another week
because I enjoy I enjoy it when you and I

Speaker 2 (27:26):
I wish you could see. Richie has hitting me up
on the text. He's like, what do you need? How

Speaker 3 (27:31):

the business. And I mean that.
Speaker 2 (27:35):

You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Oh this is a solid one, Allie, coming on strong
Chris merrill I AM six forty more stimulating talk you
can listen to anytime on demand in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
There's about to be another shake up in media.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
But before we get to that, the important stuff, Roner,
I'm gonna need your h I'm gonna need your word
on this one about deporting Ali. Well, it all depends
on how he answers this. Okay, So I identified what is,
in fact, the greatest guitar riff of all time, and
he said, eh, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's like top twenty. You want to hear it, this
is it.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm gonna recognize this im media already do of course
you do so good.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
He's like, that's.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Okay, it's okay. I mean it's not. It's it's my
personal taste.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Well, your personal about to get you deported.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, before we deport him, Ollie, what do you got
in response to that?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, give it to me better. But you got Ali
one second? One second? Richie, do you want to get
in on this? No? No, okay, that's fair. Why because
you disagree? You just don't. I'm just giving it to
you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Let it breathe, Yeah and listen. I'm a huge ac
DC fan. I love led Zeppelin. You know, Van Hamlin
had some amazing stuffy.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Rush doesn't count for anything.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Nothing from Rush will ever be no most overrated band ever.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Rush the drummer was solid.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Hey, you might get supported if they weren't that Canadian.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They weren't Canadian rights from Canada.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now their drummers amazing. I like, don't get me wrong,
I like Rush. I can listen to Rush.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But for people that are like, oh, Rush is the
greatest band of no, stop that stop that. It's great.
But it's not Mark Knopflin, It's not dire Straits.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Did you know that weird Al wanted to do. You
know the story Mark weird Al wanted to do the
mock of of the Money for Nothing song for his
movie vh F, and well said VHS and so he
asked them for permission and they said, you may not
(02:26):
mock our song unless we do it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Is that cool or what? Which is why dire Straits
is actually in VHF. I like that, yeah, and you
know why it's so good because They took a minute
and a half to get to it. That's why it's
so good.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
All the greats take a while to the build up,
builds that anticipation and so worth it kind of like this, Okay,
I'm gonna play you three seconds. You're gonna know exactly
what it is, and you're also gonna know that it
takes three minutes to get to it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Everybody knows the drum solo, greatest drum solo of all times?
Less than three seconds on that?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Can I say?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah? You can?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Magnificent Miami Vice know what what you're about to be deported?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
What it's?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's Phil Collins in the Air Tonight. Yeah, that's from
the Miami. That's what immortalized. That song is the tubs
and Crockett in the car going to do some business
at night. No, that was a different song all again,
you're out of your mind. I mean, I hear what
you're saying. I don't have that one in my library
right now. But that wasn't a takeoff. I mean, I
(03:35):
hear what you're saying. No, little listeners will back me
up on this. That is the song. You're right there
is the in the Air tonight scene. Yeah, it's kind
of creepy. It's not the it's not the theme though, right, No,
the theme is different. That's the an Hammer song. That's
what I thought. Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, but
you're right. Okay, they did do the scene. That was
my high school marching band. That was our drum cadence
(03:55):
that we marched to. Oh lucky.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, they readd the Okay, that's good.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So to edit pretty much all of this music out
in the podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh, the podcast is gonna suck. Oh yeah, you're right,
because when I have the copyright to play it on
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Do we all right? You want me to move on
to like the story I was gonna do.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, why not for the three minutes we have no or.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Just blow out this entire segment for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Let's play some more licensed to music that we can't
use every again.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That's fine. I'm fine with that. Yeah. I like emptying
my library. That's good. Suck. I love.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know what else I have in here, men,
I have a lot of songs in my library that
I can Well, if you're talking about guitar riffs, you
gotta do some Zeppelin. I love Zeppelin and Page was amazing,
Plant Page and Plant together. Very few bands will ever
come close to that. I love Kashmir Immigrant song. Ali
(04:49):
obviously likes the immigrant song.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
But I love the immigrant song.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, of course you do. It's amazing. But I don't
even have that one. Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
How do I not have that one in my library?
You gotta have a whole lot of love in there,
do you know?
Speaker 6 (05:03):
How?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Uh do I? Where's do you know? How I end
up with all the crap my entire libraries. I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'll end up doing like a stupid bit, and I
need the music for the bit, and so I will.
I'll grab the music and then I added to my library.
It's like one song at a time over the last
twenty years, adds up it just yeah it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Like Doors had some decent guitar riffs too. Lam yeah
(05:40):
all right, okay, that's enough. I'll even just delete this
entire thing from the podcast. Don't even worry about posting
this one done? All right, save you some time. I
do want to tell you about this acquisition that's about
the completely changed media across the country.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Although somehow.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
LA specifically not all of southern California, but LA specifically
is avoiding it. I will tell you who in southern
California is going to be affected by it, however, and
how this is likely to create all kinds of gnashing
of teeth.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's next, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty more stimulating talk listen
any time on demand of the iHeartRadio app. All right,
you guys had thoughts. You hit the talk back, and
I appreciate that we have one here. Hold on, what
does this guy say?
Speaker 7 (06:37):
The greatest riff is Bo Diddley's riffs has been forever
and will never get bet.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You talk about the from the Bo Diddley's bow Diddley
is that the one I sure been vetoed can't do it?
I feel like he got to have some Glenn Campbell
in there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Okay, you guys got it all wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Eric loo here, Oh yeah, Eric knows the stuff. Oh
don't yep.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Best riff ever is unchained by van Halen or lay
it down by Warren D. Martini and rat but unchained
by van Halen.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
All right, let's see eighties. They're muddy.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's the truth. Yeah, ruins it, just no, he ruined it,
totally ruined. Nope, can't give that the greatest guitar riff
of all time. Can't do it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's a good effort, but no, A lot of silence
coming from you guys right now, a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Non opinions happening.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'm just trying to decide who to deport.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Me or Ali.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, is that right? One of you has got to go,
Kathleen says, uh, Steve Miller band jet air liner. I
think that's what she said, big old Jeda Airliner.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Let me see. Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I think I do have that one in my library here. Yeah, yeah,
I do like that too. It's not better than money
for nothing, but that's that's that's a good one. We
are living in a blessed time, aren't we. When do
we just have all this access to really great music?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I just love it. I love it so much. I
love it, love it, love it. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I did want to make mention of this, and I
appreciate everybody that's listened to our Shenanigans throughout all of this,
but I wanted to make mentionure of this. You know,
it was just a few weeks ago that we were
talking about Next Star and Tegna, the two big local
media companies that we're talking about merging, and that's when
we had the big blow up over Jimmy Kimmel and
then Next Star and Tegnabo.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Said, yeah, that's it. We're not gonna We're not gonna.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Play the Jimmy Kimmel show, and Next Hour was demanding
that it was the Next Hour, or maybe it was
Sinclair that was demanding that he make a donation to
Charlie Kirk's widow or to his uh uh turning Point USA,
this kind of stuff, And of course nothing came of that.
But one of the things that people were concerned with
is is Next Hour do they mean this when they
(09:21):
pulled Jimmy Kimmel Or was this simply because Brendan Carr,
the the the chair of the FCC was putting pressure
on them and saying, oh, you know, you got this
big deal that you want approved, and now you've got
this mouthpiece in the in the late night that's saying
things that we don't like. Right, So that's obviously that
kind of it blew over after a week, but it
(09:44):
was top news for a week.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Now there's another question.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Because Sinclair was reportedly looking to to to merge with
E W.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Scripts.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Now, there are no Sinclair or Script stations in the
LA market. However, the ABC station in San Diego is
a Script station. When coincidentally, when the Next Star and
Tegna stuff was going down, I actually spoke with uh
an anchor who'd been with Scripts for a very long time,
and he's like, you know, Scripts has been really great.
(10:15):
They've never they've never told us, you know, they've never
handed us any sort of editorial commentary that that they
demanded that we read from on high.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
They never did that. Sinclair has done that.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Sinclair has passed along here's here's the company line, and
we need your anchors to read this, and this is
gonna be something that goes.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So Sinclair has done this before.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So now what's interesting is that Sinclair in Scripts merging would.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Would hit a major.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Pressure point in American politics, and that is who controls
local news. And you're gonna have the Democrats that are saying,
wait a minute, now you've got you've got Republicans. They
want Sinclair, which leans to the right to buy up
more local stations and you want them to have all
this all this uh uh you know control. The Democrats
are gonna what are you doing? You know you can't
do this. This is it's not independent journalism. You're you're
(11:08):
you're trying to make this merger happen with a with
an ownership group that has in the past told their
anchors what to say, and it's been more conservative talking points.
Republicans of course they're gonna support this and they're gonna go, Look,
it has to happen. We have to have consolidation because
the media environment, especially the linear broadcast.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Media, is collapsing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I actually talked about that how streaming is taken away,
not just from cable, but streaming is now you served
uh a linear TV with the exception of things like
news and sports. And what's gonna happen with the FCC? Right, So,
if this merger is going on and these both Sinclair
and Scripts own a number of different uh local stations
(11:51):
that have network affiliations with all the different networks, So
what happens.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
If the President doesn't like something that say?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Seth Meyers says. Seth Myers has recently been very critical
of the President. The President called him out on some
things too, and so in fact, Jake Tapper was talking
about how it's really interesting that the president is he's
focusing in on Seth Myers now because of the business
side that's going out to the back end.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
President Trump apparently, by.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
The way, this is just Jake Tapper just doing his
own little I guess vlog or something.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Saw a clip of the comedian Seth Myers, who has
a show on NBC, and demanded that NBC fire Seth Myers.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Very similar to what happened with Kimmel right immediately.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Okay, I guess we're all used to this kind of
hyper sensitive ranting from the president at this point. But
what was interesting and notable is that Trump's hand picked
very supportive Federal Communications Commission or FCC Chairman, Brendan Carr
screenshot the post untruth social and then posted it on
(12:58):
Twitter himself without comment.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Why is that significant? Yeah? Why, Jake Tapper?
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Because Comcast is the conglomerate that owns NBC.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Ah, and what does that mean?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
And Comcast really really wants Brendan Carr to be on
their side. Why Comcast right now is in the middle
of the whole bunch of stuff, including possibly making a
bid on Warner Brothers Discovery or some of Warner Brothers Discovery,
which wait a minute, owns CNN, I should note.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, you should note that. Yeah, huh, so what does
that mean? Hang on? Where where I lost my marker? Here?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Okay, one minute, And because I think I can make
Jake Tapper more exciting than he's ever been in his
life if I keep doing this right.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Own CNN, I should note Comcast in order to get
in good with President Trump presumably just contributed to President
Trump's ballroom, which really upset a lot of employees of
NBC News and MSNBC or MS.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Now or ether.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, you know what, Jake Tapper, you're kind of boring,
But I think I can help you out here.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Let me see if I can just see if I
can do this.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We were talking about great rifts and you can take anything
this media. Look, we took David Lee Roth and made
him sound exciting, and I don't know why we can't
make the same thing happen with Jake Tapper just by
adding a little bit of yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
What did I tell you?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
All the great rifts they start with a long build up.
So now that we're into a minute, of Jake Tapper
rambling while he's on a walk. Let's go back here
and see if we can just make this a little
more exciting.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Once CNN, I should note, Comcast in order to get
in good with President Trump, presumably just contributed to President
Trump's ballroom.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I think anytime we hear the word ballroom, we.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Should just do that's ballroom.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yep, there it is ballroom.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
In fact, I think we could just mix that whole
thing down and just make it like a just over
and over, we just keep saying ballroom, ballroom, ballroom, right,
and now all of a sudden, Jake Tapper is interesting.
I don't know why CNN doesn't hire me as a consultant, because,
honest to God, I've got the goods to make it work.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Nobody wants to hire me as a consultant.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, you know, Scott Jennings, I'll tell you. Did anybody
You're right, I'm no, Barry Wis. Did anybody come up
with is anybody else.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Come up with?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Ballroom?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Followed by a drum solo? Anybody? No ballroom?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And now you want to listen to what he has
to say because it might be good. Nobody else is
doing that all right, you got to love it. Yep,
I did that. Yeah, there's been another break in at
the Louver. If you haven't heard about this, wait until
you find out what these ne'er do wells did to
(16:04):
the greatest museum on Earth.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Next. I'm Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six on demand.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Hi, Chris Merril AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Listen anytime on demand of the iHeartRadio app, unless, of course,
we use a lot of license music, and then it's
not going to do any good to try to listen
to podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
But whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It has been very difficult for poor Ali because he
started arguing with me off the air about the greatest
guitar riffs.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
And that meant that we had to start playing them.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Ali's also in charge of editing the podcast, and since
we can't play the license content of the podcast, it's
been kind of a nightmare for him to try to
edit things.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I've chomped it up.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah, it's a Frankenstein's Monster of oh okay, podcast, but
it's that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Speaking of Frankenstein's Monster, he also told me that that
I have to watch the new Frankenstein, The Germo del
Toro Frankenstein on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
But I don't have Netflix, Mark, have you seen that one?
I have?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I didn't love it as much as everybody else did.
How much see I love the Kenneth Branna, Robert de
Niro nineties Frankenstein interesting, But that may have been just
because I was like, I was a teenager, and I
was like, it was kind of my first exposure to Frankenstein.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I didn't see any of the classics.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Now you cannot go wrong with the fifties Curse of
Frankenstein with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and it's like
eighty two minutes, you're in and out. Oh okay, Yeah,
those are major names too, so oh, it's terrific those
classics and whatever you think of the Geromo del Toro Frankenstein.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It is long, it is a hall. It's like two
and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It is a slow but is it quite slow?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Yes, Like I felt that way towards the beginning, and
then I go hooked into it.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Oh okay, there's a lot to like about it, but
I just didn't love it. For one thing, it's it's
not a horror.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Movie, definitely, No, It's definitely a fantasy, and it reminded
me a lot of shape of Water. Just oh, Deltur
always makes you want to ready root for the monster.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I didn't love the Shape of Water either. He makes
beautiful movies and you can tell he's a fan and
he knows the classics. He's one of us, all right,
but but a little bit too referential to the source
of material, right, I mean, just just moving along. Tell
a story, let's have some deaths. He's one of us,
all right. Well, it's more like one of us from
Todd plan free okay, one of us, one of us?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh, I got yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We were talking about guitar riffs and a few of
you were leaving talkbacks.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I always appreciate that. How about it to the Boy
and my Black Sabbath?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
All right, I try to pull that, but I'm having
trouble downloading you, if I'm being totally honest, So you're
off the hook on that one. Although you're not gonna
have to edit Black Sabbath out of this, but I
do love Black Sabbath too.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Classic stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Hey guys, tonight we have to add Freebird from Leonard
Skinner to this list.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
It's gotta be on there.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
There's always somebody yelling Freebird, isn't there yeah, the Russian
judges mark you way down if you don't include free Bird.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah. Uh, here's the thing about Freebird.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I can't add that to the list because it's more
of a solo than it is a riff.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
And granted it is one of the great.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Solos of all times. So good, all right, and you're
lucky I sang for you tonight. Should have been a singer.
I don't like to sing too much because honestly, I
should be charging you for it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I'm that good, So I like to do it too much.
But I love Freebird. What did I hear? Hey, Richie,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Because they used to You used to yell Freebird at
the bar whenever you had like a house band playing,
and you go free bird, you know, if you got
drunk enough.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
And what is it?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
They're yelling like somebody's yelling something from it is it
Oasis or something like Wonderwall type thing.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah, that's it, the yell Wonderwall. That's terrible.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yeah, the energy is dead, like we need something more
like you know, right, it's gonna hit you right in
the throat type thing.

old lady on the back, Well, your old lady on
the back. Why is it that that's the song that
it's It's always like when they have a female singer

Speaker 3 (22:30):
This evening. We're talking about guitar riffs and the good
ones and what's that.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Keith Richard solo on twenty one to twenty Michigan Avenue
is the greatest guitar riff ever. Okay, very restrained, and
then he builds just like you said.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
All right, that's how you do it. That's how you
make a good one. I'm with you on that, all right.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Oh my god, how can you leave out Crazy by Heart?
That beginning riff is out of this world? Please play it.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Thanks, good job, Chris.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I hope you take this permanently.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, thank you very much. You're not gonna like what
I have to say. I've never been a Heart fan.
Although crazy as solid, crazy as good, I've just never
been a Heart fan. Olly, will you see if you

Oh no, you already said that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Hold on, I had there was one more talk back.
Oh okay, this is.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Lisa and I cannot think of this song. But what
about that one where they make the guitar sound like
a person. I cannot think of who did it, but
it sounds like a person talking. That's a real good
guitar guitar riff thing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Go one, the greatest guitar riff thing going.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I think this is what we were after tonight, isn't it?
This is one.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
This is the one that came to mind. There's actually
there's a tool and I've forget what that it's called.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Look, I'm not I wish.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I knew how to play the guitar. I'm not a guitarist.
I played the tuba in high school. Okay, that's how
uncool I am when it comes to use a but
uh uh, you know what.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I also played this susophone for marching band.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Okay, so like I played a few different instruments basically
the same thing. Here's the one that came to mind though,
when you said the guitar that sounds like a person, right,
Does that sound right?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
He's basically saying sweet emotion into like this this sort
of harmonizing pipe sort of thing that merges with the guitar.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Do you think it could have been Peter Frampton? Frampton
had some things too, right, Yeah, yeah, but he had that,
he had that. It wasn't the guitar itself, but it
was some thing. Yeah, it's like a harmonizer thing. Yeah,
I'm not a harmonized Yeah, but there's a there's a
term for it.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, sure there is. And then Mark scholded me off
the air because we never mentioned the Who at all.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, what's wrong with you? Yeah, you're totally right. Shame shame, shame.
You're exactly right. I should have had, should.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Have had the Who.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You got your small wizard, you got your eminence in front, got.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So many good ones.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
Just so you all know how ashamed I am. I
am naked for this entire segment. Oh God, as I'm
being marched through the square, I'm glad we didn't zoom
this shame shame. One of the big stories what last week,
(25:33):
week before was the robbery at the Louver. Did you
see that they had somebody else that got past their
security again, did you catch the story mark, did you
have this in your rundown stuff?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
We a we a we.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So these guys, they're they're Belgian tik takers, and they
snuck into the louver with accustom painting and they hung
it in the loop. Now, it is highly illegal to
bring outside. It's kind of like going to your favorite restaurant.
You don't walk into Morton's with the bag of McDonald's.
That's what did they bring in? Like a Don Martin
(26:05):
from mad kinda?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I think it was like they drew it basically. Okay, yeah,
shame on them.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
So they placed their painting in the same room as
the Mona Lisa and there's actually scanners that are supposed
to catch this stuff, but they here's how they did it.
They put it in a frame made out of legos,
and the legos.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Didn't set off the detectors, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
So as a result, they were then able to hang
their painting inside the louver and then they got that
they they they went TikTok famous on that one.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Kind of embarrassing. For the love that they keep boning
this up. Kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Also, I think they're gonna they're probably gonna get in
trouble for it, but yeah, kind of embarrassing, just the same.
I thought it was funny, thought we'd done the show
on that. I think someone's in deep marred.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Can I say it?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Alie? Do you need to zapp that friends for poo poo?
That's been nice knowing you well anyway, uh Ollie, I'm
gonna let you stay in this country for another week
because I enjoy I enjoy it when you and I
get to work together.

the business. And I mean that.
Speaker 2 (27:35):

I'm with you, I'll be texting you all night.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
