Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good evening. They're my friend Spris merrilf I AM six
forty more stimulating talk. Heading into the Thanksgiving week, it's
a short week, and I don't know about you, but
I had this tendency of of sort of overlooking the week.
And it's really easy to go. It's a three day week.
Mail it in. Let me tell you, the minute you
(00:30):
start mailing it in, that's when everything goes to hell.
So buckle down for just a couple more days. Just
power through it. Look forward to the long weekend, but
just power through it. Don't let yourself down in this one,
all right. The storms that we had last week were wild.
I think we all agree that we saw the amount
(00:53):
of rain that we are not accustomed to seeing, especially
then of course you end up with some mudslides. How
wet was it?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Together?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
They've turned or continue to turn November into one of
the wettest on record. And it has also really stressed
out some of our burn scars across the area.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So oh, I hate when the burn scars to get stressed. Oh,
burnscar pros that.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
All together, this is how they stack up. Now I'm
taking it upon myself to go ahead and name our
three storms.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
We'll start off here.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Okay, this is from Fox eleven. What did she name
the storms? Did she give them cool names, like like, uh,
you know storm one? This is Vengeance, Storm two, eagle Claw? Right,
something cool? What she called with storm number one?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Last Saturday?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
We had it to move in. It was driven by
a strong atmospheric river and was our main soaker. It
was also a slow moving system.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
If you did she name it the main soaker? Is
that what she came up with for her name? The
store number one main soaker? Mormons living in the northeast.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You recall it allowed bands of rain to really train
over some of the same areas.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
We had debris flow thresholds.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That were also exceeded on several of our burn scars,
including the Palisade Eton and also the Mountain Fire Burnscar
and Ventura County. It prompted evacuation warnings and orders and
also some debris flow alerts.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Now our second, deary, what.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
What was that? Just a random sounder in the middle
of it? Okay, I like this so far.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And also some debris flow alert all.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Right, debrif float?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Oh now our.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yes? Okay, so we had main soaker, I guess. And
then what did we call the second storm? What is it?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
What we call secondary storm? This one I'm calling the soaker.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Wait a minute, you had the main soaker and now
you got the soaker. These names names leave a little
to be desired.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It rived at the top of this week, and fortunately
for us, the system didn't beat the weekend totals previous,
but it did fall on already soaked hillsides. This essentially
loaded the ground for the storm that followed the one
we're in now, our second flooding due to early season
clog drains and of course, burn scars became reactivated watchstones
(03:39):
due to freshly saturated top soil.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Okay, please, dear God, play another one of those sounders. Yes,
hitting that stinger? Oh I love it. Okay, what are
we calling a third storm? Please don't say light soaker?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Last, but not Lisa, our finale. It is the system
that we are currently seeing exit. It did arrive for
us yesterday.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Now we've already set records.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
For instance, downtown La climbed past three inches for the
month at one period, so more than four times are
November normals, making this month the wettest November since the
nineteen eighties. This final storm doesn't have excuse me, that
doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Doesn't have what doesn't have a name? You said you're
named of what is it?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
The same ingredients that we did see in some of
our other storms, like those big totals. But what it
does have is the worst setup. That's what I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
We are worst set up storm.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
We already have that fully saturated half an inch to
an inch of raine.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
We're also now seeing the garage flight.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just give it a name, just call it like dale something.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Bloods like we just saw in that previous video, but
also a downtree like we had in Wineka earlier today,
and the potential for more for burned scar issues.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
So of course the biggest take.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
What did you name it? She said, she named all
the storms, but then she only named one of them.
She called it soaker Kaway.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Isn't the individual storm totals, it's the combined impact essentially
when the ground reaches sound name every additional tenth of an.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Inch saturation storm phyllis. I mean, just name it something.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Maybe the SOUNDA is the name?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh you think so?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I think I mean a bunch of times you're right.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You know what you could be onto something storm number
one is and onto storm number two. Yes, I'm Soca
and Soker. Very good. This might be a recurring female
night hang on. I'm just gonna save this to crop that. Yeah,
(05:56):
saving it there it is, right, Cayla, did you come
up with a question for our talkback tonight? It's like,
if you're on the iHeartRadio app, but if you're if
you're joining us the first time, we'd like to have
some interactions. So we tossed out a question. If you're
on the app, you hit that talkback button and give
us answer to the question, give us your thoughts. Basically,
did you come up with hang on? Hang on? Kaylad? Okay?
(06:18):
What do we decide? Yeah, Ali, as heer mike on,
she's talking, but there's nothing coming out.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
I see the mic, I see Kayla talking because that's.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Well, I switched microphones now so you can hear my voice.
So yeah, I came up with the talkback question, and
yours was are we gonna do that all night?
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Or?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Okay? All right? Pair, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
So that's the thing I was thinking, like, do you
have travel plans for Thanksgiving or what's your go to
Thanksgiving gift?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Let's get in the holiday spirit.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
What do you mean go to Thanksgiving gift?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I meant I met dish.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
When you said you bring a gift to Thanksgiving, it
really like threw me off because who does that?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
That was like a really crazy question.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
My wife always says, we have to what does your
wife bring?
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Like?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
What gifts? Does she bring? A Thanksgiving turkey wine? Is
that a gift?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Whoever, whoever's hosting, we always we always have to like
take something for him.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
You don't do this, Heaven's no, God, my presence is
a present. I've shown up. You are welcome.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Am I allow? You don't bring a gift for people
on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 8 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
We always do really well.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
I guess maybe that is a talk about question because
I thought that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Would be weird.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's I mean, it's usually like okay, so wine. But
then we had an issue one year because they had
a guest there that was sober, and so we didn't
want to like walk in. It was it was kind
of a thing. It was it wasn't just like a
random guest. It was it was kind of a thing.
(07:51):
And it's, oh, they're sober, so we have we have
to try to think of like something else to bring.
I don't even remember what she came up with.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Pie. Pie is always the same.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Pie is a good one.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Flowers, I've taken flowers.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There you go, Aileen, See Kayla, you're alone on this.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Well.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Ali is not even an American, so I don't know
what he's talking about pie, So I whoa. I'm just
saying Thanksgiving is an American holiday, So you bring in
pie isn't a gift. It's just a traditional Thanksgiving gift.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Here's what I didn't know about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a
traditional American holiday from the people who stole the country
from the original Americans.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Something.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
So yeah, people aren't bringing pie as a gift. Alien
and flowers. Ilen is just saying things everybody knows. Ilean
doesn't bring flowers.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Done that more than what I'm the crazy one this
conversation line.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah wow, all right, okay, do you bring a gift
to Thanksgiving? My wife and sister, that's a thing whoever's hosting, whoever,
if it's if it's my brother and sister in law,
then she always gets something for her sister, never for
my brother in law. Although I'd like to go over
there and be like, hey, look I got your new
air but she never lets me do that. Uh. Do
(09:03):
you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? Hit us up on
that talk back if you're listening on the iHeart Radio
up and for not maybe just download it and then
give it a shot so you can play too, all right,
do you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? Kayla doesn't because
she's a grinch. It's Chris Merril, k if I am
six forty oh still to come. You're trying to get
home for Turkey, maybe trying to get home for a game.
But you if you're gonna make it, you're gonna want
(09:24):
to leave right now. There is a trick that nobody's
talking about to avoid the lines at LAX, and you're
gonna you're gonna find out what that is next, Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Chris merrilf I am six forty more stimulating talk we are.
We're getting closer and closer obviously here to the holidays.
We'll get to your talkbacks here in just a few moments.
Because Kayla is just a rude guest and she does
not bring a gift for the hosts, but I'm curious
as to what you do. She's not really but we'd
(10:00):
like to give her a hard time. So as you
are headed to family, whatever you're doing, just know it's
gonna be a bad year for travel.
Speaker 10 (10:11):
I'll show you this video. While things are smooth here
right now. That was not the case just a day ago.
TikTok on videos showing here as some folks had to expect.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So Katla goes to the airport, there isn't much going on,
so they pulled TikTok video from the day before.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Experience that stand still traffic here at the Horseshoe, people
grabbing their bags walking to the terminal instead of waiting
in gridlock traffic again here at LAX are expecting about
two and a half.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Million travelers through December first.
Speaker 10 (10:39):
The single busiest day is expected to be next Sunday,
November thirtieth, with more than two hundred and thirty thousand
people expected.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
To move through these ohs.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
To keep things moving, they of course tell you to
come here at least two hours early for domestic flights,
national flights, a nationwide or if.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You don't, you're gonna hold it the line it's going
to cost you eighteen dollars to get past security because
that's what they're doing. Now. Unbelievable. You know what the
travel hack is. Nobody tells you about. There are no
lines when you go over the river and through the
woods in a one horse open sleigh. Never once has
Tsa stopped anybody doing that. Otherwise it would have been
in the song. But it's not so good luck if
(11:22):
you're one of the two and a half million passengers
going through lax here in the in the next few weeks. Wow,
holy cow. Uh do you bring a gift when you
do Thanksgiving? Kylea does not, although I will. I have
to give her credit off the air. It dawned on
(11:43):
her that she did. She did it? Was it last year?
You did the gift?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Well?
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Yeah, but it was a friends giving and I just
don't count it as much. But yeah, it was the
theme of the friends giving. You bring something you don't
want and you exchange.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Oh, like a white elephant, yeah type thing. I love that.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I think that's really great. That's a good way for
you to get rid of your crap and everybody laughs
at it.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Yeah. No, no, I got some really cool shoes.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Actually, people gave really great things, so I felt that
for the crap I bought, Like, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Sorry, did it make you feel poor? You're getting rid
of good stuff?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, you know I always feel pretty poor.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You're like, this is actually really nice. Yeah, if you're listening,
I heart radio. I phit that talk back. Let us know,
do you bring a gift for Thanksgiving? If so, what
do you bring?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
My gift for Thanksgiving which gives for hours? Is that
bring cannabis infused punkin pie. And I don't tell anybody
that it's infused. It lasts for hours. It's hilarious. I'm
pretty sure that's a felony.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I think we should call the police.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I mean, as long as the family's okay with you
doing that.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But yeah, that's uh huh, it's a crime.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
That's a crime.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Lock them up, Lock them up.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Hello, Chris, Hello, thank you for all the good work
that you do along with all the KF crew there. Listen, guys,
you know Thanksgiving it's just traditional holiday, right, and it's
time to break it. How about some tacos Mexican beer.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Yes, and Christopher, ali did you dump that dump dump dump?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, good good good, Well a i AI is supposed
to tell us what people say, and evidently I missed
that different. Oh no, it wasn't there. That was one
hundred percent my fault. Yeah. I think that's the first
f bomb I've accidentally dropped in the air.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Here be there, well and needs to get up, leaped up.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Apparently that was a good test for ali Ale. Congratulations,
you passed and we keep our jobs, so that's good.
I can't even blame it on Kayla because it was
me that goof of that one out there?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Are you?
Speaker 12 (14:06):
What is I think, hospitality?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I don't know what to talk back while you're playing.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't know what's happening. Kind of sounds like he's
haunting someone, doesn't it like he's making the noises upstairs,
Like where is it coming from? I think it's so yeah, No,
that's definitely it. All right, wow, all right. I have
(14:43):
a suggestion. At some point during the show, we'll get
to this. I have a suggestion for what to bring
Kayla for.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
A gift, so for Thanksgiving or just for.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
A nice Kala gift. Something I think she would like
don't like this, but I'm excited. I think you're gonna
like it very good. The lawmakers, the lawbreakers at the
times there ought to be a law. And we'll see
if we keep our jobs or if I drop more
f bombs. That is next, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty more stimulating talk. And
I didn't realize that we were starting a controversy here,
but evidently when we go to family's house for Thanksgiving,
my wife says, well, we have to bring something. Usually
it's a bottle of wine, but one year we couldn't
because there was it was just a situation where there
(15:43):
was there was a sober individual there and we didn't
want to do it. So Cales is, no, you never
bring anything for Thanksgiving? And I went, oh, well, I
thought you always had. And then Cayler remember that one
time she did. They did like a gift exchange, so
that was her gift. So do you bring a gift
to Thanksgiving? That's our talkback question tonight. If you're on
the iHeart Radio, I pick that talkback button. Let us
(16:04):
know when you.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
Were invited to somebody's house, you bring a gift. It's
called a hostess gift, and a wine or flowers are
very traditional going to Thanksgiving at a family member's house.
We just bring a dish and contribute to the food.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
All right, that works? Yeah? Do you take food or no?
I gotta make I'm making turkey balls tonight. By the way,
we're having a Thanksgiving pot luk at work tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Oh that's nice, it's very nice. I bring takeout containers.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I bet you do.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 12 (16:40):
Hey, Chris, is it me or the next holiday is
always the most busy.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
It seems like that's the way they reported it.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What's the July.
Speaker 12 (16:47):
Oh, it's the busiest travel day of the year. Oh,
Thanksgiving busiest travel day of the year. Yes, Christmas, same thing.
Can you fix that piece? It seems like they always
say that.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, uh, here's what happens. We're lazy, and so we
know that people are traveling, and so then we go
and we report whatever Triple A tells us. Here's what
you're gonna get. Triple A expects X amount of travelers.
Gas Buddy says, gas prices are so much nationwide and locally,
what else, Kayla, we got to oh uh, and then
(17:21):
flight delays construction anywhere that you might be delayed for
your your trip because of construction. Well, we're gonna take
a good hard look at whatever constructions happening, gonna make
sure you yet all. I'm safe this holady, Susan always,
you're one hundred percent right on that. It's because we're
lazy in media.
Speaker 14 (17:37):
I'm the grandma, so I bring my hugs and kisses
for my grandkids.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
Bring the dressing for the turkey, the gravy, and the
classic cream corn all grotten from diamond bar.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Well, I'm up for adoption if you want to ask.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, I want her to come to my things.
Speaker 12 (18:01):
Hey, Chris, this message is for Chalm and his weeded
up pie.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Don't do that, man.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It's almost have jobs.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
We get tested, like myself a truck driver.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I'll get fired if I pop.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Thank you. We got more sound effects today, didn't we. Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I appreciated that.
Speaker 10 (18:23):
Very nice.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
When you use that one, there's an f bum oh.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
That's m m oh yeah there it is. That hurt
my ears a little bit. I gotta be careful when
I do that, because one thing I hate is when
I'm listening to a commercial and they always they put
a horn in the commercial while I'm driving. I can't
stand that. That is such a pet peeve of mine.
When I managed the station, I made a rule you
(18:49):
can't you can't put horns and sirens in the commercial
because I it just irritates the dickens out of me
when I'm driving and I hear a commercial and it's like, hey,
we're the We're the law Tiger, and I'm always looking
for the fire truck or whatever, you know, and I
hate that. I don't like that at all. So yeah,
I gotta be a little bit careful when we do
(19:09):
that one because I hate it. Lawmaker's law bringers times
that there ought to be a law, you know. I
heard Eileen talking about it here. That is the canine
that got killed, and I thought that was really sad because,
as you may or may not know, I love the
dogs and I don't ever want to see any ill
(19:32):
will happen to the canines. I am not a fan
of that at all. ABC seven had that story.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
This all started around six forty last night when Bourbon
police tried to make a traffic stop near Buena Vista Street,
and the northbound five on ramp. Police say an armed
passenger then took off, running from that car toward the
on ramp, jumped over the freely embankment wall.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I came to a nearby neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So wait, did they get the driver? Did you they got?
There was a passenger that jumped out right During the search.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
The canine spotted the suspect, who then fired at the canine,
striking him before fleeing. The canine was immediately rushed to
the vet where he died, and this morning Bourbon police
just identified that canine as Spike. He was an intelligent
and devoted partner, known for his gentle nature off duty
and his tenacity and dedication while serving.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Like I mentioned, he had.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Just celebrated his birthday three days ago.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Ah Cayley, you bring a birthday gift for the dog's
birthday party, wouldn't you? You'd do that? Yeah, that's a
Thanksgiving gift. Sometimes for Thanksgiving, I'll take a dog treats
or something for the dog.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Oh, that's very thoughtful, Sarching.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
The search for the suspect continued for hours late last night,
and finally around midnight, police shot and killed that armed suspect.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
At this point, it is unclear what was there.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
A shootout or did we just found him?
Speaker 9 (20:53):
And then at this point it is unclear if the
suspect fired at officers.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Prior to them opening fire, and.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Also the initial traffic stop was.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
All about what I mean, she kind of made that
sound like they went hunting for him, didn't it. Like
about midnight they found him. He's dead now, no idea
if he was a threat or not.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
And finally around midnight police shot and killed that arm suspect.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
At this point, it is unclear.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
If the suspect fired to officers prior to them opening fire,
and also what the initial traffic stop.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Was all about.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Okay, well, I'm going to work from the assumption that
he posed a threat, especially since he shot the other
dog so they knew that the guy was armed, right,
and then the dog passed away, which kisses me off,
by the way, fun fact killing a police dog. Common
misconception is that if you kill a police dog, that's
(21:46):
that you get charged with, like murdering a police officer.
It's not. It's an animal abuse, which I think honestly
is good because that seems that seems right because if
a cop kills my dog. Right, Let's say that the
cop is executing a search one of my home, my dog,
the cop is afraid of my dog and shoots it.
I don't get to charge the cop of murder, right,
(22:08):
although I'd like to. That's my buddy, buddy like that
looked at her all. Meanwhile, multiple homes Whisper ranch in
yu Kaipa getting anonymous holiday style cards with vulgar, menacing
and threatening messages left overnight. Are they getting a weed
(22:29):
laced pumpkin pie?
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Though?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That's it's a gift we're finding out about tonight. Security
camera footage from one residence captured a mass man placing
a card, blowing a kiss at the camera, and then
walking away. Residents say at least two individuals were involved
in the deliveries. One card reads, Dear Santa, I want
the head of a Nazi under my tree for Christmas.
So hm. Some of the cards included specific dates along
(22:55):
with the phrase you've been worn, suggesting possible threats of
future actions. They think it may have to do with
political leanings in the area. But I mean, aren't you
basically acting like a Nazi when you're showing up masked
and then threatening to kill people and kind of makes
(23:16):
it seem like you're just as bad as whoever it
is you're opposing, or worse, well, not really worse than Nazis,
but it's not exactly you're setting the example of good
behavior there, chump I called it. By the way I
called it, I am prescient when it comes to California politics.
(23:39):
I see the future like a fifty nine ninety five psychic.
I know exactly what's gonna happen, and I have the
goods and I'm so good at this you can make
money off of it. I will tell you how to
win a completely illegal bet. Next, I'm Chris Meryl.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So we asked a question do you bring a gift
to Thanksgiving? Because Kayla was asked, she wanted to throw
out a talkback question. She said, do you have any
Thanksgiving travel plans? What's your Thanksgiving go to gift? And
I said, do you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? And
she said no, who does that? I meant like what
dish to pass? And I thought, well, we always bring
a gift wherever we go. We got to make sure
(24:30):
that you know somebody's hosting, you like to bring a gift,
that's nice.
Speaker 15 (24:35):
I always bring the hostess some flowers and a bottle
of wine.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They go, that's Eileen's go to too is flowers.
Speaker 15 (24:42):
And I always ask what may I bring? And it's
usually a salad or maybe an order.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
But I can't go.
Speaker 15 (24:51):
Empty handed because they've always you know, they put so
much work into the dinner or the occasion. Yeah, anyway,
Happy Thanksgiving and.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
They're cleaning up after you. Last Thanksgiving, I went to
my brother's house. He lives in southern Utah, so it
was a bit of a drive, right, So I go
over there and I don't know what it was. I
swear my sister in law was like, oh, I haven't
dirty done enough pans today, And I don't think that
the kitchen was clean to start with. But I showed
(25:20):
up and it was just an absolute disaster. And I
don't know about you, but I'm the kind of person
that like, if you if you cooked it in a
in a pant like a corn, right, and you cook
it in a small a small pot, you just bring
that pot and set it on a hot plate on
the on a hot pad on the table. That's fine.
It doesn't need to be fancy if you want to.
(25:41):
If you want to switch it over into a serving plate,
that's fine too. I don't care my sister in law,
I swear to you she'd cook it and then move
it into a new pan or a new pot, and
then she would scoop it into the serving dish. And
I'm like, why are you? Why are you adding more pants?
And then after Thanksgiving they'll they're like, okay, well let's
all let's all crowd around and go play games or something.
(26:03):
And I looked and it looked like a bomb went
off in the in the kitchen. My wife and I
sat there and scrub dishes, no joke, for an hour
to clean up after everybody that was there. And it
was like we were happy to help out. That that
was fine, right, We're happy to help out. It was
just like, did you intentionally create extra mess and then
leave and then you see that we're trying to clean
(26:26):
up your kitchen and you just disappeared. The best move
is my nephew. We were like, hey, Aiden, you have
to come help us out here. We don't know where
these dishes go. You know, we're washing them, drying them.
Help us out, I don't know where they go that
you live here, how do you not know? And then
he goes, I gotta go to the bathroom. Then he disappeared,
(26:47):
never came back, and I was like, that's my move.
You can't go stealing my move. I invented that I
gotta go to the bathroom move. He just vanished. Unbelievable
big news this week. I called it. By the way,
I am absolutely nostradamus when it comes to these things.
Did you see who jumped in the race for governor.
Speaker 16 (27:10):
After all the speculation, Eric Swawall officially entering the race
for governor and portraying himself as the person that is
going to stand up to Donald Trump. That's really what
he has done in Congress as well. But he's going
to have to separate himself from the other Democratic candidates
because a lot of them have a similar message.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
No, it's not similar, it's the exact same message. I'm
going to stand up to Donald Trump. Tom Steyer got
in the race. I'm going to stand up to Donald Trump.
Katie Porter got in the race. I'm going to stand
up to get out of my shot. I'm going to
stand up to You're being very mean to me. I
wanted to be friends, but you're being very mean. I'm
(27:51):
going to stand up to this. Coffee is cold, all right.
Her message was a little bit different, but swallwallsa's I'm
going to stand up to Donald Trump. Here's the thing
I told you about this. I told you about this
week and a half ago, two weeks ago. It's been
almost two weeks since I told you. I said, look,
Swallwell's getting in this race. Swalwell, I said, he's polling
(28:12):
right now, he's not even in the race, and he's
beating everybody else. He's pulling ahead of everybody else. And
this happened because of Katie Porter's meltdowns. Now, I'm not
saying Swalwall wasn't gonna jump in any way. He may have,
but the Katie Porter meltdown was like, oh he's he
goes well, that's my inn I am in no problem
And right now you can bet on it. Cal. She
hasn't been a forty seven percent chance.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Cal.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
She is where you can bet on all kinds of
random things until the government shuts it down for a
longing people to bet on random things. But right now
Swalwell forty seven percent Porter, thirteen percent STI or ten
percent and who else knows? Uh who else might you know?
Hard to say who else coulda end up in there?
But swallwell is is the odds on favorite right now?
(28:56):
Literally all right? Do you bring a gift to Thanksgiving?
Hit us up of that talk back if you're listening
on the iHeartRadio app. Just click that talkback button. Gives
you thirty seconds to record something. We would ask you
not to swear because sometimes I miss it and it
slips through. Unfortunately, Ali catches it before enough Bomb drops
on the air. Which was the first time I've ever
accidentally played enough Bomb on the air on this station.
Oh yes, it has definitely happened more than once in
(29:17):
my career, but first time here. So Ali, I owe
you one, buddy. I owe you a Guinness or whatever
we're doing, whatever you're into, I owe you one. Do
you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? We always make sure
to bring something, even if it's just a signature dish.
Do you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? Hit that talkback
(29:39):
button If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app and it's
Turkey in tension this year, you may be asked to
bring something a little bit different to Thanksgiving. I'll tell
you what it is next.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Chris Merrill, KFI AM six on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good evening. They're my friend Spris merrilf I AM six
forty more stimulating talk. Heading into the Thanksgiving week, it's
a short week, and I don't know about you, but
I had this tendency of of sort of overlooking the week.
And it's really easy to go. It's a three day week.
Mail it in. Let me tell you, the minute you
(00:30):
start mailing it in, that's when everything goes to hell.
So buckle down for just a couple more days. Just
power through it. Look forward to the long weekend, but
just power through it. Don't let yourself down in this one,
all right. The storms that we had last week were wild.
I think we all agree that we saw the amount
(00:53):
of rain that we are not accustomed to seeing, especially
then of course you end up with some mudslides. How
wet was it?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Together?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
They've turned or continue to turn November into one of
the wettest on record. And it has also really stressed
out some of our burn scars across the area.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So oh, I hate when the burn scars to get stressed. Oh,
burnscar pros that.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
All together, this is how they stack up. Now I'm
taking it upon myself to go ahead and name our
three storms.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
We'll start off here.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Okay, this is from Fox eleven. What did she name
the storms? Did she give them cool names, like like, uh,
you know storm one? This is Vengeance, Storm two, eagle Claw? Right,
something cool? What she called with storm number one?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Last Saturday?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
We had it to move in. It was driven by
a strong atmospheric river and was our main soaker. It
was also a slow moving system.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
If you did she name it the main soaker? Is
that what she came up with for her name? The
store number one main soaker? Mormons living in the northeast.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You recall it allowed bands of rain to really train
over some of the same areas.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
We had debris flow thresholds.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That were also exceeded on several of our burn scars,
including the Palisade Eton and also the Mountain Fire Burnscar
and Ventura County. It prompted evacuation warnings and orders and
also some debris flow alerts.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Now our second, deary, what.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
What was that? Just a random sounder in the middle
of it? Okay, I like this so far.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And also some debris flow alert all.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Right, debrif float?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Oh now our.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yes? Okay, so we had main soaker, I guess. And
then what did we call the second storm? What is it?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
What we call secondary storm? This one I'm calling the soaker.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Wait a minute, you had the main soaker and now
you got the soaker. These names names leave a little
to be desired.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It rived at the top of this week, and fortunately
for us, the system didn't beat the weekend totals previous,
but it did fall on already soaked hillsides. This essentially
loaded the ground for the storm that followed the one
we're in now, our second flooding due to early season
clog drains and of course, burn scars became reactivated watchstones
(03:39):
due to freshly saturated top soil.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Okay, please, dear God, play another one of those sounders. Yes,
hitting that stinger? Oh I love it. Okay, what are
we calling a third storm? Please don't say light soaker?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Last, but not Lisa, our finale. It is the system
that we are currently seeing exit. It did arrive for
us yesterday.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Now we've already set records.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
For instance, downtown La climbed past three inches for the
month at one period, so more than four times are
November normals, making this month the wettest November since the
nineteen eighties. This final storm doesn't have excuse me, that
doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Doesn't have what doesn't have a name? You said you're
named of what is it?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
The same ingredients that we did see in some of
our other storms, like those big totals. But what it
does have is the worst setup. That's what I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
We are worst set up storm.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
We already have that fully saturated half an inch to
an inch of raine.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
We're also now seeing the garage flight.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just give it a name, just call it like dale something.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Bloods like we just saw in that previous video, but
also a downtree like we had in Wineka earlier today,
and the potential for more for burned scar issues.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
So of course the biggest take.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
What did you name it? She said, she named all
the storms, but then she only named one of them.
She called it soaker Kaway.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Isn't the individual storm totals, it's the combined impact essentially
when the ground reaches sound name every additional tenth of an.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Inch saturation storm phyllis. I mean, just name it something.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Maybe the SOUNDA is the name?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh you think so?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I think I mean a bunch of times you're right.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You know what you could be onto something storm number
one is and onto storm number two. Yes, I'm Soca
and Soker. Very good. This might be a recurring female
night hang on. I'm just gonna save this to crop that. Yeah,
(05:56):
saving it there it is, right, Cayla, did you come
up with a question for our talkback tonight? It's like,
if you're on the iHeartRadio app, but if you're if
you're joining us the first time, we'd like to have
some interactions. So we tossed out a question. If you're
on the app, you hit that talkback button and give
us answer to the question, give us your thoughts. Basically,
did you come up with hang on? Hang on? Kaylad? Okay?
(06:18):
What do we decide? Yeah, Ali, as heer mike on,
she's talking, but there's nothing coming out.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
I see the mic, I see Kayla talking because that's.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Well, I switched microphones now so you can hear my voice.
So yeah, I came up with the talkback question, and
yours was are we gonna do that all night?
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Or?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Okay? All right? Pair, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
So that's the thing I was thinking, like, do you
have travel plans for Thanksgiving or what's your go to
Thanksgiving gift?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Let's get in the holiday spirit.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
What do you mean go to Thanksgiving gift?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I meant I met dish.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
When you said you bring a gift to Thanksgiving, it
really like threw me off because who does that?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
That was like a really crazy question.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
My wife always says, we have to what does your
wife bring?
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Like?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
What gifts? Does she bring? A Thanksgiving turkey wine? Is
that a gift?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Whoever, whoever's hosting, we always we always have to like
take something for him.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
You don't do this, Heaven's no, God, my presence is
a present. I've shown up. You are welcome.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Am I allow? You don't bring a gift for people
on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 8 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
We always do really well.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
I guess maybe that is a talk about question because
I thought that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Would be weird.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's I mean, it's usually like okay, so wine. But
then we had an issue one year because they had
a guest there that was sober, and so we didn't
want to like walk in. It was it was kind
of a thing. It was it wasn't just like a
random guest. It was it was kind of a thing.
(07:51):
And it's, oh, they're sober, so we have we have
to try to think of like something else to bring.
I don't even remember what she came up with.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Pie. Pie is always the same.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Pie is a good one.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Flowers, I've taken flowers.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There you go, Aileen, See Kayla, you're alone on this.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Well.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Ali is not even an American, so I don't know
what he's talking about pie, So I whoa. I'm just
saying Thanksgiving is an American holiday, So you bring in
pie isn't a gift. It's just a traditional Thanksgiving gift.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Here's what I didn't know about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a
traditional American holiday from the people who stole the country
from the original Americans.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Something.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
So yeah, people aren't bringing pie as a gift. Alien
and flowers. Ilen is just saying things everybody knows. Ilean
doesn't bring flowers.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Done that more than what I'm the crazy one this
conversation line.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah wow, all right, okay, do you bring a gift
to Thanksgiving? My wife and sister, that's a thing whoever's hosting, whoever,
if it's if it's my brother and sister in law,
then she always gets something for her sister, never for
my brother in law. Although I'd like to go over
there and be like, hey, look I got your new
air but she never lets me do that. Uh. Do
(09:03):
you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? Hit us up on
that talk back if you're listening on the iHeart Radio
up and for not maybe just download it and then
give it a shot so you can play too, all right,
do you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? Kayla doesn't because
she's a grinch. It's Chris Merril, k if I am
six forty oh still to come. You're trying to get
home for Turkey, maybe trying to get home for a game.
But you if you're gonna make it, you're gonna want
(09:24):
to leave right now. There is a trick that nobody's
talking about to avoid the lines at LAX, and you're
gonna you're gonna find out what that is next, Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Chris merrilf I am six forty more stimulating talk we are.
We're getting closer and closer obviously here to the holidays.
We'll get to your talkbacks here in just a few moments.
Because Kayla is just a rude guest and she does
not bring a gift for the hosts, but I'm curious
as to what you do. She's not really but we'd
(10:00):
like to give her a hard time. So as you
are headed to family, whatever you're doing, just know it's
gonna be a bad year for travel.
Speaker 10 (10:11):
I'll show you this video. While things are smooth here
right now. That was not the case just a day ago.
TikTok on videos showing here as some folks had to expect.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So Katla goes to the airport, there isn't much going on,
so they pulled TikTok video from the day before.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Experience that stand still traffic here at the Horseshoe, people
grabbing their bags walking to the terminal instead of waiting
in gridlock traffic again here at LAX are expecting about
two and a half.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Million travelers through December first.
Speaker 10 (10:39):
The single busiest day is expected to be next Sunday,
November thirtieth, with more than two hundred and thirty thousand
people expected.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
To move through these ohs.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
To keep things moving, they of course tell you to
come here at least two hours early for domestic flights,
national flights, a nationwide or if.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You don't, you're gonna hold it the line it's going
to cost you eighteen dollars to get past security because
that's what they're doing. Now. Unbelievable. You know what the
travel hack is. Nobody tells you about. There are no
lines when you go over the river and through the
woods in a one horse open sleigh. Never once has
Tsa stopped anybody doing that. Otherwise it would have been
in the song. But it's not so good luck if
(11:22):
you're one of the two and a half million passengers
going through lax here in the in the next few weeks. Wow,
holy cow. Uh do you bring a gift when you
do Thanksgiving? Kylea does not, although I will. I have
to give her credit off the air. It dawned on
(11:43):
her that she did. She did it? Was it last year?
You did the gift?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Well?
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Yeah, but it was a friends giving and I just
don't count it as much. But yeah, it was the
theme of the friends giving. You bring something you don't
want and you exchange.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Oh, like a white elephant, yeah type thing. I love that.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I think that's really great. That's a good way for
you to get rid of your crap and everybody laughs
at it.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Yeah. No, no, I got some really cool shoes.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Actually, people gave really great things, so I felt that
for the crap I bought, Like, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Sorry, did it make you feel poor? You're getting rid
of good stuff?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, you know I always feel pretty poor.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You're like, this is actually really nice. Yeah, if you're listening,
I heart radio. I phit that talk back. Let us know,
do you bring a gift for Thanksgiving? If so, what
do you bring?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
My gift for Thanksgiving which gives for hours? Is that
bring cannabis infused punkin pie. And I don't tell anybody
that it's infused. It lasts for hours. It's hilarious. I'm
pretty sure that's a felony.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I think we should call the police.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I mean, as long as the family's okay with you
doing that.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But yeah, that's uh huh, it's a crime.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
That's a crime.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Lock them up, Lock them up.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Hello, Chris, Hello, thank you for all the good work
that you do along with all the KF crew there. Listen, guys,
you know Thanksgiving it's just traditional holiday, right, and it's
time to break it. How about some tacos Mexican beer.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Yes, and Christopher, ali did you dump that dump dump dump?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, good good good, Well a i AI is supposed
to tell us what people say, and evidently I missed
that different. Oh no, it wasn't there. That was one
hundred percent my fault. Yeah. I think that's the first
f bomb I've accidentally dropped in the air.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Here be there, well and needs to get up, leaped up.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Apparently that was a good test for ali Ale. Congratulations,
you passed and we keep our jobs, so that's good.
I can't even blame it on Kayla because it was
me that goof of that one out there?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Are you?
Speaker 12 (14:06):
What is I think, hospitality?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I don't know what to talk back while you're playing.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't know what's happening. Kind of sounds like he's
haunting someone, doesn't it like he's making the noises upstairs,
Like where is it coming from? I think it's so yeah, No,
that's definitely it. All right, wow, all right. I have
(14:43):
a suggestion. At some point during the show, we'll get
to this. I have a suggestion for what to bring
Kayla for.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
A gift, so for Thanksgiving or just for.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
A nice Kala gift. Something I think she would like
don't like this, but I'm excited. I think you're gonna
like it very good. The lawmakers, the lawbreakers at the
times there ought to be a law. And we'll see
if we keep our jobs or if I drop more
f bombs. That is next, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty more stimulating talk. And
I didn't realize that we were starting a controversy here,
but evidently when we go to family's house for Thanksgiving,
my wife says, well, we have to bring something. Usually
it's a bottle of wine, but one year we couldn't
because there was it was just a situation where there
(15:43):
was there was a sober individual there and we didn't
want to do it. So Cales is, no, you never
bring anything for Thanksgiving? And I went, oh, well, I
thought you always had. And then Cayler remember that one
time she did. They did like a gift exchange, so
that was her gift. So do you bring a gift
to Thanksgiving? That's our talkback question tonight. If you're on
the iHeart Radio, I pick that talkback button. Let us
(16:04):
know when you.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
Were invited to somebody's house, you bring a gift. It's
called a hostess gift, and a wine or flowers are
very traditional going to Thanksgiving at a family member's house.
We just bring a dish and contribute to the food.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
All right, that works? Yeah? Do you take food or no?
I gotta make I'm making turkey balls tonight. By the way,
we're having a Thanksgiving pot luk at work tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Oh that's nice, it's very nice. I bring takeout containers.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I bet you do.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 12 (16:40):
Hey, Chris, is it me or the next holiday is
always the most busy.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
It seems like that's the way they reported it.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What's the July.
Speaker 12 (16:47):
Oh, it's the busiest travel day of the year. Oh,
Thanksgiving busiest travel day of the year. Yes, Christmas, same thing.
Can you fix that piece? It seems like they always
say that.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, uh, here's what happens. We're lazy, and so we
know that people are traveling, and so then we go
and we report whatever Triple A tells us. Here's what
you're gonna get. Triple A expects X amount of travelers.
Gas Buddy says, gas prices are so much nationwide and locally,
what else, Kayla, we got to oh uh, and then
(17:21):
flight delays construction anywhere that you might be delayed for
your your trip because of construction. Well, we're gonna take
a good hard look at whatever constructions happening, gonna make
sure you yet all. I'm safe this holady, Susan always,
you're one hundred percent right on that. It's because we're
lazy in media.
Speaker 14 (17:37):
I'm the grandma, so I bring my hugs and kisses
for my grandkids.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
Bring the dressing for the turkey, the gravy, and the
classic cream corn all grotten from diamond bar.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Well, I'm up for adoption if you want to ask.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, I want her to come to my things.
Speaker 12 (18:01):
Hey, Chris, this message is for Chalm and his weeded
up pie.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Don't do that, man.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It's almost have jobs.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
We get tested, like myself a truck driver.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I'll get fired if I pop.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Thank you. We got more sound effects today, didn't we. Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I appreciated that.
Speaker 10 (18:23):
Very nice.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
When you use that one, there's an f bum oh.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
That's m m oh yeah there it is. That hurt
my ears a little bit. I gotta be careful when
I do that, because one thing I hate is when
I'm listening to a commercial and they always they put
a horn in the commercial while I'm driving. I can't
stand that. That is such a pet peeve of mine.
When I managed the station, I made a rule you
(18:49):
can't you can't put horns and sirens in the commercial
because I it just irritates the dickens out of me
when I'm driving and I hear a commercial and it's like, hey,
we're the We're the law Tiger, and I'm always looking
for the fire truck or whatever, you know, and I
hate that. I don't like that at all. So yeah,
I gotta be a little bit careful when we do
(19:09):
that one because I hate it. Lawmaker's law bringers times
that there ought to be a law, you know. I
heard Eileen talking about it here. That is the canine
that got killed, and I thought that was really sad because,
as you may or may not know, I love the
dogs and I don't ever want to see any ill
(19:32):
will happen to the canines. I am not a fan
of that at all. ABC seven had that story.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
This all started around six forty last night when Bourbon
police tried to make a traffic stop near Buena Vista Street,
and the northbound five on ramp. Police say an armed
passenger then took off, running from that car toward the
on ramp, jumped over the freely embankment wall.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I came to a nearby neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So wait, did they get the driver? Did you they got?
There was a passenger that jumped out right During the search.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
The canine spotted the suspect, who then fired at the canine,
striking him before fleeing. The canine was immediately rushed to
the vet where he died, and this morning Bourbon police
just identified that canine as Spike. He was an intelligent
and devoted partner, known for his gentle nature off duty
and his tenacity and dedication while serving.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Like I mentioned, he had.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Just celebrated his birthday three days ago.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Ah Cayley, you bring a birthday gift for the dog's
birthday party, wouldn't you? You'd do that? Yeah, that's a
Thanksgiving gift. Sometimes for Thanksgiving, I'll take a dog treats
or something for the dog.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Oh, that's very thoughtful, Sarching.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
The search for the suspect continued for hours late last night,
and finally around midnight, police shot and killed that armed suspect.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
At this point, it is unclear what was there.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
A shootout or did we just found him?
Speaker 9 (20:53):
And then at this point it is unclear if the
suspect fired at officers.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Prior to them opening fire, and.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Also the initial traffic stop was.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
All about what I mean, she kind of made that
sound like they went hunting for him, didn't it. Like
about midnight they found him. He's dead now, no idea
if he was a threat or not.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
And finally around midnight police shot and killed that arm suspect.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
At this point, it is unclear.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
If the suspect fired to officers prior to them opening fire,
and also what the initial traffic stop.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Was all about.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Okay, well, I'm going to work from the assumption that
he posed a threat, especially since he shot the other
dog so they knew that the guy was armed, right,
and then the dog passed away, which kisses me off,
by the way, fun fact killing a police dog. Common
misconception is that if you kill a police dog, that's
(21:46):
that you get charged with, like murdering a police officer.
It's not. It's an animal abuse, which I think honestly
is good because that seems that seems right because if
a cop kills my dog. Right, Let's say that the
cop is executing a search one of my home, my dog,
the cop is afraid of my dog and shoots it.
I don't get to charge the cop of murder, right,
(22:08):
although I'd like to. That's my buddy, buddy like that
looked at her all. Meanwhile, multiple homes Whisper ranch in
yu Kaipa getting anonymous holiday style cards with vulgar, menacing
and threatening messages left overnight. Are they getting a weed
(22:29):
laced pumpkin pie?
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Though?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That's it's a gift we're finding out about tonight. Security
camera footage from one residence captured a mass man placing
a card, blowing a kiss at the camera, and then
walking away. Residents say at least two individuals were involved
in the deliveries. One card reads, Dear Santa, I want
the head of a Nazi under my tree for Christmas.
So hm. Some of the cards included specific dates along
(22:55):
with the phrase you've been worn, suggesting possible threats of
future actions. They think it may have to do with
political leanings in the area. But I mean, aren't you
basically acting like a Nazi when you're showing up masked
and then threatening to kill people and kind of makes
(23:16):
it seem like you're just as bad as whoever it
is you're opposing, or worse, well, not really worse than Nazis,
but it's not exactly you're setting the example of good
behavior there, chump I called it. By the way I
called it, I am prescient when it comes to California politics.
(23:39):
I see the future like a fifty nine ninety five psychic.
I know exactly what's gonna happen, and I have the
goods and I'm so good at this you can make
money off of it. I will tell you how to
win a completely illegal bet. Next, I'm Chris Meryl.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So we asked a question do you bring a gift
to Thanksgiving? Because Kayla was asked, she wanted to throw
out a talkback question. She said, do you have any
Thanksgiving travel plans? What's your Thanksgiving go to gift? And
I said, do you bring a gift to Thanksgiving? And
she said no, who does that? I meant like what
dish to pass? And I thought, well, we always bring
a gift wherever we go. We got to make sure
(24:30):
that you know somebody's hosting, you like to bring a gift,
that's nice.
Speaker 15 (24:35):
I always bring the hostess some flowers and a bottle
of wine.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They go, that's Eileen's go to too is flowers.
Speaker 15 (24:42):
And I always ask what may I bring? And it's
usually a salad or maybe an order.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
But I can't go.
Speaker 15 (24:51):
Empty handed because they've always you know, they put so
much work into the dinner or the occasion. Yeah, anyway,
Happy Thanksgiving and.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
They're cleaning up after you. Last Thanksgiving, I went to
my brother's house. He lives in southern Utah, so it
was a bit of a drive, right, So I go
over there and I don't know what it was. I
swear my sister in law was like, oh, I haven't
dirty done enough pans today, And I don't think that
the kitchen was clean to start with. But I showed
(25:20):
up and it was just an absolute disaster. And I
don't know about you, but I'm the kind of person
that like, if you if you cooked it in a
in a pant like a corn, right, and you cook
it in a small a small pot, you just bring
that pot and set it on a hot plate on
the on a hot pad on the table. That's fine.
It doesn't need to be fancy if you want to.
(25:41):
If you want to switch it over into a serving plate,
that's fine too. I don't care my sister in law,
I swear to you she'd cook it and then move
it into a new pan or a new pot, and
then she would scoop it into the serving dish. And
I'm like, why are you? Why are you adding more pants?
And then after Thanksgiving they'll they're like, okay, well let's
all let's all crowd around and go play games or something.
(26:03):
And I looked and it looked like a bomb went
off in the in the kitchen. My wife and I
sat there and scrub dishes, no joke, for an hour
to clean up after everybody that was there. And it
was like we were happy to help out. That that
was fine, right, We're happy to help out. It was
just like, did you intentionally create extra mess and then
leave and then you see that we're trying to clean
(26:26):
up your kitchen and you just disappeared. The best move
is my nephew. We were like, hey, Aiden, you have
to come help us out here. We don't know where
these dishes go. You know, we're washing them, drying them.
Help us out, I don't know where they go that
you live here, how do you not know? And then
he goes, I gotta go to the bathroom. Then he disappeared,
(26:47):
never came back, and I was like, that's my move.
You can't go stealing my move. I invented that I
gotta go to the bathroom move. He just vanished. Unbelievable
big news this week. I called it. By the way,
I am absolutely nostradamus when it comes to these things.
Did you see who jumped in the race for governor.
Speaker 16 (27:10):
After all the speculation, Eric Swawall officially entering the race
for governor and portraying himself as the person that is
going to stand up to Donald Trump. That's really what
he has done in Congress as well. But he's going
to have to separate himself from the other Democratic candidates
because a lot of them have a similar message.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
No, it's not similar, it's the exact same message. I'm
going to stand up to Donald Trump. Tom Steyer got
in the race. I'm going to stand up to Donald Trump.
Katie Porter got in the race. I'm going to stand
up to get out of my shot. I'm going to
stand up to You're being very mean to me. I
wanted to be friends, but you're being very mean. I'm
(27:51):
going to stand up to this. Coffee is cold, all right.
Her message was a little bit different, but swallwallsa's I'm
going to stand up to Donald Trump. Here's the thing
I told you about this. I told you about this
week and a half ago, two weeks ago. It's been
almost two weeks since I told you. I said, look,
Swallwell's getting in this race. Swalwell, I said, he's polling
(28:12):
right now, he's not even in the race, and he's
beating everybody else. He's pulling ahead of everybody else. And
this happened because of Katie Porter's meltdowns. Now, I'm not
saying Swalwall wasn't gonna jump in any way. He may have,
but the Katie Porter meltdown was like, oh he's he
goes well, that's my inn I am in no problem
And right now you can bet on it. Cal. She
hasn't been a forty seven percent chance.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Cal.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
She is where you can bet on all kinds of
random things until the government shuts it down for a
longing people to bet on random things. But right now
Swalwell forty seven percent Porter, thirteen percent STI or ten
percent and who else knows? Uh who else might you know?
Hard to say who else coulda end up in there?
But swallwell is is the odds on favorite right now?
(28:56):
Literally all right? Do you bring a gift to Thanksgiving?

accidentally played enough Bomb on the air on this station.
Oh yes, it has definitely happened more than once in
(29:17):
my career, but first time here. So Ali, I owe
you one, buddy. I owe you a Guinness or whatever
we're doing, whatever you're into, I owe you one. Do

to bring something, even if it's just a signature dish.
