Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Its Marril KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on
demand anytime the iHeartRadio app. We asked the question of
the talk bag, what do you think is in the
Epstein files?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
What's in the Epstein files? I just asked that, man,
there's everything in there. A bit go on Trump, they
got Biden, they got all these freaking dirty politician bassards.
That's what's in there. That's why Trump came in, Oh,
I'm gonna release them. I'm gonna release them. But he
didn't release them. Now he's talking about Oh, you're still
talking about these Epstein files. Bro you up in it?
(00:41):
That's why Biden to all these politicians is gonna get
wrapped up.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Let's get them. Bro you up in it?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
You know that seems like that would be the other
plausible explanation, like everybody's in it. Maybe it's uh, maybe
it's rich and powerful outside the world of politics, or
maybe it's everybody inside the world of politics. It's so bizarre, though,
that nobody seems to want to release them. Where the
Democrats were in charge, did you want to release them?
(01:09):
Republicans are in charge, They don't want to release them,
but they all want to pretend that they want to
release them.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I'm with you, man, for your show.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Two things I would like to see with these Epstein
files is some kind of cross check or reference with
respect to Virginia Giuffray's book Nobody's Girl. In that book,
she had mentioned that her father sky Roberts actually got
her the job at mar Lago and he actually introduced Virginia.
Her father, sky Roberts introduced Virginia to Trump. It would
(01:41):
be interesting to see if that's cross referenced in the
Epstein files. And then also the second one in THEE.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And the other thing too, is that she actually said
she said in a deposition under oath that Trump was
never anything but a gentleman here, which makes even more
bizarre that he doesn't want to just expose everybody else.
So weird man, so weird. I mean, this is you're
(02:08):
not gonna like me to say this, But is it
possible there's somebody else that's close to Trump that's in
there that he doesn't want to embarra it, like was
Mulania being trafficked at the Epstein Island At some point
he doesn't want to expose her. He wants to protect her.
I mean, you could understand why you would want to
protect her. I'm just I'm not saying that's the case.
I'm by saying I even think that's the case. I'm
just throwing out hypotheticals that would Again, everything that we've
(02:31):
seen is, yeah, you spent a lot of time there.
There's a lot of smoke. But even the victim herself,
before she took her own life, said that he didn't
do anything to her.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Okay, sorry about that.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
And then the second item in Virginia's book, she mentioned
that she was raped by a former prime minister and
it would be interesting to see if that name is
revealed in Epstein files.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Thanks for your time.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, I would love to see both of those. I
hope that those files come out. They won't.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I have no faith that those files are ever going
to be released. It makes me sad. Meanwhile, there is
no business.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
It's like show business there. It is nice job, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I got bad news for you. Things about to get pricey.
Steaming streaming prices are climbing. You've got major platforms Netflix,
Disney Plus, HBO, Max, Peacock, Apple TV all hiking rates.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
This year and they're calling it. Are you ready for this?
It's not mine.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I didn't come up with this streamflation. Yep, they said
it was streamflation. You know, here's the thing. If I
come up with something that's that bad, I say it
almost like a dad joke, like it's funny. I was
telling Kayla a dad joke off the air here Borgia
(03:41):
was doing a story in people taking vacations, and I
said to Kayla, I said, Kilo, what does a.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Pirate drive on vacation? What is it? Kayla an RV.
That's very good. That's very good. Cala, nice job. Glad
you were able to come up with that.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
I love it. Guys, Virgina, please do not make him.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
I can't even think it was.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
A good one.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
I know it was. If it doesn't work out here,
you have a stand up career.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And I told her that off the air and she says,
I'm blocking you, and I said, I just made that.
I just made that joke up. When I listened to
the story that Brigida played any we.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
Are old because we think it's funny, and she just goes, no, guys, no, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It's hard to believe that I made that joke up,
and I.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Don't think you did at this point. Did you really
make it up?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well, I haven't heard it before. I'm not saying I'm
the first to come up with it, but I haven't
heard it before. As far as I'm concerned, I made
it up. But I'm sure somebody else came up with
that because it's that easy. It's low hanging fruit. If
I come up with a bad term like streamflation, I
do a tongue in cheek like this is so bad,
it's funny.
Speaker 10 (04:51):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Wall Street Journal put it out there like, no, this
is what it's called stream flation. This is not the
last stupid made up word you're going to hear on
the show tonight. There's another one coming up a little
bit later on. It makes me what I just choke
as millennial? Yeah, that's the Gen Z kids that are
(05:11):
working or in this case not working. This is millennials.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Did you know about that?
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Did you just make that up too?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Because the millennials are the ones that are kind of
the older gen Z younger millennial.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oh yeah, no, you're you're barely outside of that. I'm
not I'm not pretty. I'm your core millennial core.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, all right, So despite higher cost, cancelation rates are
unusually low. So they keep raising the prices and we
don't cancel it. Because we don't cancel it, they go,
why would we change? Or they raise the prices on
the commercial free tiers and we go, well, I guess
(05:53):
I'm willing to watch commercials. They're making a ton of
money on those commercials. I don't have the math in
front of me, and of course they don't show exactly
what this is, or if they do, it's it's very
deep in the SEC filings and I can't read. So
I have a belief that they make more money on
the ads supported tiers than they.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Do on the subscription tiers.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I have a feeling that they're making more than whatever
it is the four dollars a month difference by exposing
you to their advertisers than what they would if you
just gave them the four dollars to not show the ads.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah, I don't have access to it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And then you've got something very interesting happening. While everyone
is going to streaming and everyone's trying to enhance their
streaming and everyone's getting away from live programming, NBC is
going the other direction. Who's this from oh CFL tech.
This is another one of those that add like three
views or something on it.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Kyla.
Speaker 11 (06:49):
NBC Sports Network returns on November seventeen, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
See he's voicing his own stuff. That's not.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
AI also should have given me five dollars to do it,
because it wouldn't sound so bad.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But at least it's live.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
Launching first on YouTube TV, with Exfinity and other paid
TV platforms to follow. The new NBCSN will feature a
broad sports lineup, including NDA, MLB, Premier League, Olympic coverage,
and popular sports talk shows.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
NBCSN is designed to complement Peacock without replacing it, offering
a linear alternative to those who want it.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Stop, hold on, what are we offering?
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Offering a linear alternative to those who want it?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Okay, have AI read it? That's fine. The word is linear,
my friend. Okay, here's the rules.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
No, no rules.
Speaker 12 (07:53):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I was going to say you have to know how
to read if you're not gonna have AI do it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But I want AI to not do any of this
stuff anyway, So you know what, No, just you know what,
Just bring your literate ass up there and read the
whole thing to us. I don't care, no rules, No, nope,
we're screwed, just as a society, just in general screwed. Anyway,
NBC is bringing back their sports network. There was one
(08:19):
league though that was conspicuously missing. That was the NFL,
which I think is Disney still fighting with YouTube or
they figure that out.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Is that spat over.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Disney YouTube spats bat spat spat spat spat, Kayla, your
microphone is.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Off off off off, off, off off.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
It's actually no, I got now, I got it.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I got you. Yeah. Yeah, he's my fault. I had
you on Mutya on my end.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Say it again, go ahead, No, I'm saying that was
really good. But I think you really did have You
didn't just do that with your voice, right, You really
did have the echo effect.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh no, I didn't. I could do that. No, I
did it with my voice. That was very good, Christopher,
Yeah yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It doesn't sounds good anymore. I think you had an effect.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
The first time they did like this, this, this they did,
they did reach a deal. Disney and YouTube got a deal.
So now you've got everything that's going back. If you're
a YouTuber, you can now watch your Disney Football and
you don't have to watch it streaming on Pat mcabee's X.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
All right, Olie's on me. He says, I'm late to
this break? Fine, all right?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Uh one classic celebrity is getting all oiled up.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That was strange. It was weird. All right?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
How did he meets old Hollywood? Who wrote this? Who
wrote this? Tees?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
This is terrible. It's next. I'm Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Chris Merril, KFI AM six forty. But we asked the question,
if you're on the iHeartRadio app, just hit that talk
bag button, and what do you think is in the
Epstein files? Because everybody seems to want to protect whatever's
inside those Epstein files. Prince Andrew sure wanted to, but
then he lost his title, so now he's just Andrew
windsor Mount Batton, the dumb name a right, what do
(10:19):
you think is in there?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Pretty no, that's not it. Hang on. That was for
the next segment. It's not happening.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
These guys are talking about what's in the Epstein file. Well,
I'll tell you something that nobody's been talking about on
Epstein was a multi multi millionaire, and where did this
money come from? Anybody that gets that opened up is
going to be a major tax trouble. There was all
kinds of cash being moved back and forth, and I'm
willing that he laundered millions of dollars. That's take a
(10:48):
great day, all right.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
So maybe not pedophilia so much as the tax evasion.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Which is what brought down probably the greatest criminal of
mob history, right, Martha Stewart.
Speaker 14 (11:03):
Everything is in the Epstein files. Trump said he was
going to release them, but then they confiscated a lot
of stuff that he.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Wasn't aware of. Okay, if you watch a lot of
these other podcasts and whatnot, there's real life podcasts.
Speaker 14 (11:17):
There's a lot of photographs with him topless girls. And
so once he saw what was in there, he was like, hell, no,
this isn't getting released. Everyone do what you can keep
it under seal.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So got my curiosity, Yeah, I got my curiosity too.
I want to know what's in there.
Speaker 15 (11:37):
Epstein was famous for his burger bashes on the islands.
I'm sure in the files you'll find his recipe book.
His burger recipe was a huge piece of meat between
two tiny buns.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I like my pirate joke better. There's more family friendly.
I have an r V. Let's just let that one go.
Rkey right, it's.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Gonna be that kind of night.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
There's no business like show business.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Did he's back in the news again? Did he did?
He's already making trouble in prison?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Did he? What did he do? Oh? Did he's time?
Did his time got extended? What'd you do? Did he?
Mogal shan? Did he?
Speaker 10 (12:24):
Comb's facing more time behind bars, his release date pushback
to June of twenty twenty eight instead of Bany of
that same year. The news coming after reports of Comb's
drinking in prison.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Was he doing toilet booze.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
Something he denies after he was accepted into a rehab
program in prison that could have reduced.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
His sentence by up to a year.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
He's also been accused of making a prohibited three way
phone call from prison even in prison.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
This guy's pulling off three ways. Unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Here to make sense of it all, NBC News Entertainment
correspondent Chloy Maloss and defense attorney and friend the top story,
Sarah Azorry.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Guys, thanks so much for being here. Both of you
so Coley.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
I'm gonna start with you, ye, being told you spoke
about Colmbs's rep earlier.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
What did you learn about this issue?
Speaker 16 (13:07):
Sure, so Colmes's representative, Juda Engelmeyer telling me by phone
earlier today, Tom that yes, a three ye, the call
was made between one of Colmes's lawyers, who did bring
in another person on that call with Colmbs while he
has been at Fort Dix. But that there was nothing
improper about it. But again, that is not something that
you were supposed to do at all, So those lawyers
(13:28):
should have known better.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, no, three ways at Fort Dix when you're drinking
toilet wine, don't do that. I absolutely love that we
have some copyrights expiring on some old material. Betty Boop
is the latest classic celebrity who's about to be turned
into a horror villain. Yes, yes, first it was Winny
(13:52):
the Poo Steamboat Willie.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Now Betty Boop come on.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Nineteen thirty Flapper Girl the latest we turned into a
horror movie. This from Daily Star, First Class Production, set
to produce the film.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Following the Curly Here Girl is a horror villain.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Team of horror podcasters break into and Oh God, real
life horror podcasters. Huh, great horror podcasters breaking into an
abandoned theater and they discover the Hellywood starlet name who
is now thirsty for blood.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Oh I'm seeing seeing some early images.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It looks like Betty Boop is covered in blood and
eating intestines. Oh, I am one hundred on this. Oh
my gosh, this is so right up my alley. I
love bad horror. My favorite genre is comedy horror. But
(14:51):
it's so hard to actually do comedy horror that I
appreciate bad horror that I laugh at. Right, it's the
best well done horror. I don't like scares me. I
don't like that. But the idea of Betty Boop coming
to life and then gnawing on intestines. Yeah, one hundred
percent in. Yeah, go ahead, book my tickets. Now, just
put me on the reserve list. I'm in all right.
(15:15):
You get a text looks harmless, says you O right,
click here to sign in.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Now most of us know that that's a scam.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
However, it is affecting one company, one of the most
powerful in the world is fighting back. The next alert
you tap could be part of a legal battle that
is next Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
At Kayla.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Guess what happened during the break? Guess what happened. I
was in negotiations. I had a little bit of negotiating
going on. I have a promise of a promise to
contract for a feature film.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah you don't, Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I've talked to a producer who is interested in casting
me in a feature film.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
You like?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Just now? Yep?
Speaker 7 (16:09):
What producer did you talk to?
Speaker 4 (16:11):

Speaker 2 (16:30):
He said, no matter what, no matter, say it out,
no matter what, I have to say the right, no matter,
no matter what.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I'm gonna die. I'm gonna have Chris killed in the movie.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Oh my god, I would love to see it.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
You know what?
Speaker 7 (16:42):

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Let you working on. Okay, there it is. It's gonna
be great.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You guys are not.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Tim Conway Junior works with Paul Thomas Anderson. I work
with Ali.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
I think we're winning over here.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Tim Conway Junior is in all those fancy lad movies
that get nominated for for for you know these big awards.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Like Pineapple Pizza, Pineapple pizza.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
What is it called?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, liquor even though the other safe word very good. No,
but then uh, but I get cast in the fun Ones.
That's what I want. I'm very happy about that. Can
I use my voice processor?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Can I do that? Ali?
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Maybe while he's dying.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
You die?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
No, I'm you're going You're going to be dying in
the in the film that you're killing me.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I okay, I like this. I feel like I got
I feel like I got a little bit of ed
Wood in me on this too. Feeling good about it,
feeling feeling.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Like we could do some space invaders from Planet Zork
or whatever you did?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You know, I think we could do this. We' run
to it. Uh, there is.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I don't want you to be jealous, Kalis, so I'm
gonna move on. I want to keep rubbing it in
your face. There is a new lawsuit coming. Google is suing.
Google is suing because people are using Google to scam,
and I know it seems like, how are you going
to track down the scammers? It blew my mind when
(18:38):
I found out what the scammers are doing. I mean
absolutely blew my mind that there isn't there's a market
out there for scammers. Now, obviously, scammers gonna scammers gonna scam,
as our friend Tiffany Hobbs like to say, likes to say. However,
in this case, it's it's almost like, you know John Wick, right,
(19:00):
So think of it this way. You've got John Wick,
He's the assassin, right, and then you find out that
everybody else in New York City is also an assassin.
But that's beside the point. Imagine what do they call
that the uh? What was the organization from John Wick?
That was like the the the under the Continental was
the hotel and they all worked for somebody knows the
(19:22):
answer to this. They all worked for like the Association.
Let's just call it the Association, right, it was like
this parent group. I was blown away to find out
Google actually can track down the scammers.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
If you've ever gotten a text like this, it could
be part of a global fishing operator.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Hold on, good morning America. Did you just use a modem? Beep?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Are you about thirty years behind the times when you
try to add your sound effects?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
If you've ever gotten a text like this the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
High Table, Cala, very good, thank you? It was the
High Table. Caleb pulled that one out. All right, Kyla,
I will see if I can have added to my
contract that you also get to.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Die in a lament.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
I love that. I think Ali would love that too.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Yeah, this it could be part of a global fishing operation.
The text looks legit, but it's a scam. Google says
these fake stuck package or unpaid toll messages are part
of a massive criminal network called Lighthouse.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Okay, we've all gotten those before.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But this massive criminal network called Lighthouse is kind of
like the High Table in John Wick.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Right, It's like the parent brand.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
That stolen information through fishing and smishing scams in which
recipients are tricked into revealing personal and sensitive information.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
These scammers ended up compromising anywhere from fifteen to one
hundred million potential credit cards within the US and impacted,
at our current estimates, over a million victims.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Olima Delanne Prato is the general counsel for Google, she
told us in an exclusive interview. The company filed what
it calls a first of its kind lawsuit under the
Rico Act, typically used to take down organized crime rings.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
So it's a civil suit using RICO.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
The case targets unknown operators listed as John Does one
through twenty five, who allegedly built a phishing as a
service platform to power mass text attacks.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Phishing as a service, So this isn't just somebody that's
out there sending these random texts and hoping that you'll
click on this.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
This is a package deal.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Would this suit help victims recover any losses?
Speaker 8 (21:25):
I would say specifically no. The ideas for this is
to actually be a deterrent for future criminals to create
similar enterprises. It's also to take down the infrastructure in
and of itself, and.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That infrastructure is all those fake websites. So let's say
that you do get one of those those texts that
say you know you need to pay up you owe
for crossing the Bay bridge, but you're not in San Franciscolors.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
You're not crossing a Bay bridge.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And it says click here if there's a problem, and
you click on it, and then it takes you to
a website that looks like a legitimate website. Come to
find out all all those fake websites, those are sold
like happy meals to criminals.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
It's a kit. This would be like if you wanted
to dip.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Your toe into burglaries, you would just simply go to
the burglary store and buy a kit with the mask
and gloves and a sweet black turtleneck and a lock
pit set and a giant black drostring stuffel and blueprints to.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Places you want to burgle? Who do? And for all
I know, Look, this sounds like something out of the movies.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It sounds like Hollywood, where you go, sure enough, oh,
we're working for this conglomerate, the High Table or whoever else.
It is probably Kevin Spacey running something and they're all
behind this massive organized crime scheme. And whatever you need
you can just simply go into the back room and
there's a montage and you put it all together and
then you go hit your target.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
But I gotta tell you that when.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It comes to pulling this stuff off, like the louver,
nobody's zipping into the local pawn shop using a password
and then going into the layer for giant museum heists.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
And yet when it comes to scamming you, that's exactly
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Those fake websites are just simply sure, what do you
need a website for it? Oh you want Californy DMV, Yeah, great,
here you go. Oh you want it to be a Google, Great,
here you go. You want to say somebody, somebody's been
hacked and they need to go to Norton.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Sure, this is gonna look like Norton. There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, Google's finding those people and they're trying to shut
down the spammer store. Basically. Now you think your kid's
soccer team is intense. Oh no, we scrapped this one,
didn't we.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Kayla, Kayla, Kayla, Kayla.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Kyla's producing the show, and she modifies what we have
coming up in our final segment.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
And does she tell me to change the teas? No
she does not. Does she change the teas? No she
does not. Kayla. I'm sorry, I expect better from you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Can I still be in your movie.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
That's it's not his movie based.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
It will be by the time my agent gets done
with you. Bucco.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, Al's actually Ali. Do we get do we get
scale on this? Do we get like minimum? What are
we getting? What are you paying us?
Speaker 6 (24:15):
I'm gonna have you audition first, and then I'll decide.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Oh wow, big time. What does he have the audition for?
He's great, he just auditioned on the.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Show all day.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Right, Yeah, you know what, Christopher, we have to go
to commercial break anyway, I'll get Ali leader all right,
that's good.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
All right, Kayla's sending us to commercials.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
All Right, gen Z is making up another stupid word
for something we've been doing all along. You'll hear what
it is and why gen Z is really messed up
in this economy so bad they're farming out these stupid words.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Chris Meryl, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Allie, buddy, love working with you.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I can't wait until we work professionally, you know, on
your feature film.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Have your people call my people? Well do Chris? Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Uh, Brigitta, yes, Poice is still relaxing. You can just
you can tell me about a terrible accident that has
just taken the line of hundreds of puppies, and I'd
be like, oh that's sad. Oh no, maybe I need
to go to an acting class with Ali over here.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Oh you know what you could do.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
And bit up, get that little voice effect.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You've got dozens of puppish farm.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Uh kayla, you make me laugh. I genuinely mean that.
You make me laugh on the air, off the air.
Thank you for being part of the show. I mean it.
And I hate it when you're not here, and I
hate it when I'm not here working with you. I
look forward to our Sunday together. You're the best. Now,
I think we can all agree. Gen Z is the worst.
Not that they're doing anything necessarily wrong, it's just that
(25:59):
stop making stuff up. Every generation is different than the
previous generations. That's fine. Gen Z has got it harder
than previous generations, right, I get that, But don't complicate
things even more by just trying to confuse the English language.
The latest word that they're trying to use that has
been around for a long long time is called the
side hustle. Nope, they've renamed the side hustle or second
(26:26):
job here you go.
Speaker 12 (26:27):
Polyworking isn't just juggling jobs. It's combining multiple small side
hustles into one income.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Stream poly working. Poly working meaning you have multiple jobs.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
Okay, I think freelancing, selling digital products, part time consulting,
or even reselling. Alone they don't pay much, with together,
they can add up to a full salary.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
This is from the podcast I believe side Hustle Nation
Pro and I also think I'm the first person to
view this real.
Speaker 12 (26:59):
Imagine making five hundred dollars a month designing logos, eight
hundred dollars flipping items online, and one thousand, two hundred
dollars selling digital guides.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Imagine filling Oh hang on, sorry, let's see if I
can just get this.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I gotta get the.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Right is fired, He's fired, Ali, I don't know if
you saw that.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
No, this is the better one. This is the better one.
On they go back to what this guy says.
Speaker 12 (27:24):
Eight hundred dollars flipping items online and one thousand, two
hundred dollars selling digital guides. Suddenly you're pulling over forty
five thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Imagine filling out a resume, getting a job, happing insurance,
a four oh one K and the future, You too
could do it.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
It's called filling out a resume. Filling out a resume
a new.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Concept, thanks gen Z.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Instead of just trying to piecemeal a bunch of jobs together,
just fill out a resume.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
If you're trying to door dash and your uber eating
and you're ubering and you're lifting like because you have to,
that's fine. But don't listen to random internet guy that
says you could do all these other things. You're not
an entrepreneur just because you fell for a pyramid scheme.
You're not polyworking. Get a job. Hey, I'm back again Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Talk to you then.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Chris Merrill kfi AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Its Marril KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on
demand anytime the iHeartRadio app. We asked the question of
the talk bag, what do you think is in the
Epstein files?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
What's in the Epstein files? I just asked that, man,
there's everything in there. A bit go on Trump, they
got Biden, they got all these freaking dirty politician bassards.
That's what's in there. That's why Trump came in, Oh,
I'm gonna release them. I'm gonna release them. But he
didn't release them. Now he's talking about Oh, you're still
talking about these Epstein files. Bro you up in it?
(00:41):
That's why Biden to all these politicians is gonna get
wrapped up.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Let's get them. Bro you up in it?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
You know that seems like that would be the other
plausible explanation, like everybody's in it. Maybe it's uh, maybe
it's rich and powerful outside the world of politics, or
maybe it's everybody inside the world of politics. It's so bizarre, though,
that nobody seems to want to release them. Where the
Democrats were in charge, did you want to release them?
(01:09):
Republicans are in charge, They don't want to release them,
but they all want to pretend that they want to
release them.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I'm with you, man, for your show.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Two things I would like to see with these Epstein
files is some kind of cross check or reference with
respect to Virginia Giuffray's book Nobody's Girl. In that book,
she had mentioned that her father sky Roberts actually got
her the job at mar Lago and he actually introduced Virginia.
Her father, sky Roberts introduced Virginia to Trump. It would
(01:41):
be interesting to see if that's cross referenced in the
Epstein files. And then also the second one in THEE.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And the other thing too, is that she actually said
she said in a deposition under oath that Trump was
never anything but a gentleman here, which makes even more
bizarre that he doesn't want to just expose everybody else.
So weird man, so weird. I mean, this is you're
(02:08):
not gonna like me to say this, But is it
possible there's somebody else that's close to Trump that's in
there that he doesn't want to embarra it, like was
Mulania being trafficked at the Epstein Island At some point
he doesn't want to expose her. He wants to protect her.
I mean, you could understand why you would want to
protect her. I'm just I'm not saying that's the case.
I'm by saying I even think that's the case. I'm
just throwing out hypotheticals that would Again, everything that we've
(02:31):
seen is, yeah, you spent a lot of time there.
There's a lot of smoke. But even the victim herself,
before she took her own life, said that he didn't
do anything to her.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Okay, sorry about that.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
And then the second item in Virginia's book, she mentioned
that she was raped by a former prime minister and
it would be interesting to see if that name is
revealed in Epstein files.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Thanks for your time.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, I would love to see both of those. I
hope that those files come out. They won't.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I have no faith that those files are ever going
to be released. It makes me sad. Meanwhile, there is
no business.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
It's like show business there. It is nice job, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I got bad news for you. Things about to get pricey.
Steaming streaming prices are climbing. You've got major platforms Netflix,
Disney Plus, HBO, Max, Peacock, Apple TV all hiking rates.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
This year and they're calling it. Are you ready for this?
It's not mine.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I didn't come up with this streamflation. Yep, they said
it was streamflation. You know, here's the thing. If I
come up with something that's that bad, I say it
almost like a dad joke, like it's funny. I was
telling Kayla a dad joke off the air here Borgia
(03:41):
was doing a story in people taking vacations, and I
said to Kayla, I said, Kilo, what does a.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Pirate drive on vacation? What is it? Kayla an RV.
That's very good. That's very good. Cala, nice job. Glad
you were able to come up with that.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
I love it. Guys, Virgina, please do not make him.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
I can't even think it was.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
A good one.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
I know it was. If it doesn't work out here,
you have a stand up career.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And I told her that off the air and she says,
I'm blocking you, and I said, I just made that.
I just made that joke up. When I listened to
the story that Brigida played any we.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
Are old because we think it's funny, and she just goes, no, guys, no, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It's hard to believe that I made that joke up,
and I.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Don't think you did at this point. Did you really
make it up?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well, I haven't heard it before. I'm not saying I'm
the first to come up with it, but I haven't
heard it before. As far as I'm concerned, I made
it up. But I'm sure somebody else came up with
that because it's that easy. It's low hanging fruit. If
I come up with a bad term like streamflation, I
do a tongue in cheek like this is so bad,
it's funny.
Speaker 10 (04:51):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Wall Street Journal put it out there like, no, this
is what it's called stream flation. This is not the
last stupid made up word you're going to hear on
the show tonight. There's another one coming up a little
bit later on. It makes me what I just choke
as millennial? Yeah, that's the Gen Z kids that are
(05:11):
working or in this case not working. This is millennials.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Did you know about that?
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Did you just make that up too?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Because the millennials are the ones that are kind of
the older gen Z younger millennial.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oh yeah, no, you're you're barely outside of that. I'm
not I'm not pretty. I'm your core millennial core.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, all right, So despite higher cost, cancelation rates are
unusually low. So they keep raising the prices and we
don't cancel it. Because we don't cancel it, they go,
why would we change? Or they raise the prices on
the commercial free tiers and we go, well, I guess
(05:53):
I'm willing to watch commercials. They're making a ton of
money on those commercials. I don't have the math in
front of me, and of course they don't show exactly
what this is, or if they do, it's it's very
deep in the SEC filings and I can't read. So
I have a belief that they make more money on
the ads supported tiers than they.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Do on the subscription tiers.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I have a feeling that they're making more than whatever
it is the four dollars a month difference by exposing
you to their advertisers than what they would if you
just gave them the four dollars to not show the ads.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah, I don't have access to it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And then you've got something very interesting happening. While everyone
is going to streaming and everyone's trying to enhance their
streaming and everyone's getting away from live programming, NBC is
going the other direction. Who's this from oh CFL tech.
This is another one of those that add like three
views or something on it.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Kyla.
Speaker 11 (06:49):
NBC Sports Network returns on November seventeen, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
See he's voicing his own stuff. That's not.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
AI also should have given me five dollars to do it,
because it wouldn't sound so bad.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But at least it's live.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
Launching first on YouTube TV, with Exfinity and other paid
TV platforms to follow. The new NBCSN will feature a
broad sports lineup, including NDA, MLB, Premier League, Olympic coverage,
and popular sports talk shows.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
NBCSN is designed to complement Peacock without replacing it, offering
a linear alternative to those who want it.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Stop, hold on, what are we offering?
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Offering a linear alternative to those who want it?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Okay, have AI read it? That's fine. The word is linear,
my friend. Okay, here's the rules.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
No, no rules.
Speaker 12 (07:53):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I was going to say you have to know how
to read if you're not gonna have AI do it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But I want AI to not do any of this
stuff anyway, So you know what, No, just you know what,
Just bring your literate ass up there and read the
whole thing to us. I don't care, no rules, No, nope,
we're screwed, just as a society, just in general screwed. Anyway,
NBC is bringing back their sports network. There was one
(08:19):
league though that was conspicuously missing. That was the NFL,
which I think is Disney still fighting with YouTube or
they figure that out.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Is that spat over.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Disney YouTube spats bat spat spat spat spat, Kayla, your
microphone is.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Off off off off, off, off off.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
It's actually no, I got now, I got it.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I got you. Yeah. Yeah, he's my fault. I had
you on Mutya on my end.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Say it again, go ahead, No, I'm saying that was
really good. But I think you really did have You
didn't just do that with your voice, right, You really
did have the echo effect.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh no, I didn't. I could do that. No, I
did it with my voice. That was very good, Christopher,
Yeah yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It doesn't sounds good anymore. I think you had an effect.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
The first time they did like this, this, this they did,
they did reach a deal. Disney and YouTube got a deal.
So now you've got everything that's going back. If you're
a YouTuber, you can now watch your Disney Football and
you don't have to watch it streaming on Pat mcabee's X.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
All right, Olie's on me. He says, I'm late to
this break? Fine, all right?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Uh one classic celebrity is getting all oiled up.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That was strange. It was weird. All right?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
How did he meets old Hollywood? Who wrote this? Who
wrote this? Tees?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
This is terrible. It's next. I'm Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Chris Merril, KFI AM six forty. But we asked the question,
if you're on the iHeartRadio app, just hit that talk
bag button, and what do you think is in the
Epstein files? Because everybody seems to want to protect whatever's
inside those Epstein files. Prince Andrew sure wanted to, but
then he lost his title, so now he's just Andrew
windsor Mount Batton, the dumb name a right, what do
(10:19):
you think is in there?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Pretty no, that's not it. Hang on. That was for
the next segment. It's not happening.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
These guys are talking about what's in the Epstein file. Well,
I'll tell you something that nobody's been talking about on
Epstein was a multi multi millionaire, and where did this
money come from? Anybody that gets that opened up is
going to be a major tax trouble. There was all
kinds of cash being moved back and forth, and I'm
willing that he laundered millions of dollars. That's take a
(10:48):
great day, all right.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
So maybe not pedophilia so much as the tax evasion.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Which is what brought down probably the greatest criminal of
mob history, right, Martha Stewart.
Speaker 14 (11:03):
Everything is in the Epstein files. Trump said he was
going to release them, but then they confiscated a lot
of stuff that he.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Wasn't aware of. Okay, if you watch a lot of
these other podcasts and whatnot, there's real life podcasts.
Speaker 14 (11:17):
There's a lot of photographs with him topless girls. And
so once he saw what was in there, he was like, hell, no,
this isn't getting released. Everyone do what you can keep
it under seal.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So got my curiosity, Yeah, I got my curiosity too.
I want to know what's in there.
Speaker 15 (11:37):
Epstein was famous for his burger bashes on the islands.
I'm sure in the files you'll find his recipe book.
His burger recipe was a huge piece of meat between
two tiny buns.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I like my pirate joke better. There's more family friendly.
I have an r V. Let's just let that one go.
Rkey right, it's.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Gonna be that kind of night.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
There's no business like show business.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Did he's back in the news again? Did he did?
He's already making trouble in prison?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Did he? What did he do? Oh? Did he's time?
Did his time got extended? What'd you do? Did he?
Mogal shan? Did he?
Speaker 10 (12:24):
Comb's facing more time behind bars, his release date pushback
to June of twenty twenty eight instead of Bany of
that same year. The news coming after reports of Comb's
drinking in prison.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Was he doing toilet booze.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
Something he denies after he was accepted into a rehab
program in prison that could have reduced.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
His sentence by up to a year.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
He's also been accused of making a prohibited three way
phone call from prison even in prison.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
This guy's pulling off three ways. Unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Here to make sense of it all, NBC News Entertainment
correspondent Chloy Maloss and defense attorney and friend the top story,
Sarah Azorry.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Guys, thanks so much for being here. Both of you
so Coley.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
I'm gonna start with you, ye, being told you spoke
about Colmbs's rep earlier.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
What did you learn about this issue?
Speaker 16 (13:07):
Sure, so Colmes's representative, Juda Engelmeyer telling me by phone
earlier today, Tom that yes, a three ye, the call
was made between one of Colmes's lawyers, who did bring
in another person on that call with Colmbs while he
has been at Fort Dix. But that there was nothing
improper about it. But again, that is not something that
you were supposed to do at all, So those lawyers
(13:28):
should have known better.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, no, three ways at Fort Dix when you're drinking
toilet wine, don't do that. I absolutely love that we
have some copyrights expiring on some old material. Betty Boop
is the latest classic celebrity who's about to be turned
into a horror villain. Yes, yes, first it was Winny
(13:52):
the Poo Steamboat Willie.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Now Betty Boop come on.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Nineteen thirty Flapper Girl the latest we turned into a
horror movie. This from Daily Star, First Class Production, set
to produce the film.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Following the Curly Here Girl is a horror villain.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Team of horror podcasters break into and Oh God, real
life horror podcasters. Huh, great horror podcasters breaking into an
abandoned theater and they discover the Hellywood starlet name who
is now thirsty for blood.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Oh I'm seeing seeing some early images.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It looks like Betty Boop is covered in blood and
eating intestines. Oh, I am one hundred on this. Oh
my gosh, this is so right up my alley. I
love bad horror. My favorite genre is comedy horror. But
(14:51):
it's so hard to actually do comedy horror that I
appreciate bad horror that I laugh at. Right, it's the
best well done horror. I don't like scares me. I
don't like that. But the idea of Betty Boop coming
to life and then gnawing on intestines. Yeah, one hundred
percent in. Yeah, go ahead, book my tickets. Now, just
put me on the reserve list. I'm in all right.
(15:15):
You get a text looks harmless, says you O right,
click here to sign in.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Now most of us know that that's a scam.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
However, it is affecting one company, one of the most
powerful in the world is fighting back. The next alert
you tap could be part of a legal battle that
is next Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
At Kayla.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Guess what happened during the break? Guess what happened. I
was in negotiations. I had a little bit of negotiating
going on. I have a promise of a promise to
contract for a feature film.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah you don't, Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I've talked to a producer who is interested in casting
me in a feature film.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
You like?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Just now? Yep?
Speaker 7 (16:09):
What producer did you talk to?
Speaker 4 (16:11):

a dream?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Chris? You just sent me back the n d A
and you just.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Haven't I haven't even feeled it out yet. Bake news.
I told him I wanted to be I wanted to
be the bad guy.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He said, no matter what, no matter, say it out,
no matter what, I have to say the right, no matter,
no matter what.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I'm gonna die. I'm gonna have Chris killed in the movie.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Oh my god, I would love to see it.
Speaker 12 (16:42):

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Let you working on. Okay, there it is. It's gonna

Speaker 7 (17:00):
You guys are not.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Tim Conway Junior works with Paul Thomas Anderson. I work
with Ali.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
I think we're winning over here.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Tim Conway Junior is in all those fancy lad movies
that get nominated for for for you know these big awards.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Like Pineapple Pizza, Pineapple pizza.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
What is it called?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, liquor even though the other safe word very good. No,
but then uh, but I get cast in the fun Ones.
That's what I want. I'm very happy about that. Can
I use my voice processor?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Can I do that? Ali?
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Maybe while he's dying.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
You die?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
No, I'm you're going You're going to be dying in
the in the film that you're killing me.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I okay, I like this. I feel like I got
I feel like I got a little bit of ed
Wood in me on this too. Feeling good about it,
feeling feeling.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Like we could do some space invaders from Planet Zork
or whatever you did?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You know, I think we could do this. We' run
to it. Uh, there is.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I don't want you to be jealous, Kalis, so I'm
gonna move on. I want to keep rubbing it in
your face. There is a new lawsuit coming. Google is suing.
Google is suing because people are using Google to scam,
and I know it seems like, how are you going
to track down the scammers? It blew my mind when
(18:38):
I found out what the scammers are doing. I mean
absolutely blew my mind that there isn't there's a market
out there for scammers. Now, obviously, scammers gonna scammers gonna scam,
as our friend Tiffany Hobbs like to say, likes to say. However,
in this case, it's it's almost like, you know John Wick, right,
(19:00):
So think of it this way. You've got John Wick,
He's the assassin, right, and then you find out that
everybody else in New York City is also an assassin.
But that's beside the point. Imagine what do they call
that the uh? What was the organization from John Wick?
That was like the the the under the Continental was
the hotel and they all worked for somebody knows the
(19:22):
answer to this. They all worked for like the Association.
Let's just call it the Association, right, it was like
this parent group. I was blown away to find out
Google actually can track down the scammers.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
If you've ever gotten a text like this, it could
be part of a global fishing operator.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Hold on, good morning America. Did you just use a modem? Beep?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Are you about thirty years behind the times when you
try to add your sound effects?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
If you've ever gotten a text like this the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
High Table, Cala, very good, thank you? It was the
High Table. Caleb pulled that one out. All right, Kyla,
I will see if I can have added to my
contract that you also get to.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Die in a lament.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
I love that. I think Ali would love that too.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Yeah, this it could be part of a global fishing operation.
The text looks legit, but it's a scam. Google says
these fake stuck package or unpaid toll messages are part
of a massive criminal network called Lighthouse.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Okay, we've all gotten those before.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But this massive criminal network called Lighthouse is kind of
like the High Table in John Wick.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Right, It's like the parent brand.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
That stolen information through fishing and smishing scams in which
recipients are tricked into revealing personal and sensitive information.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
These scammers ended up compromising anywhere from fifteen to one
hundred million potential credit cards within the US and impacted,
at our current estimates, over a million victims.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Olima Delanne Prato is the general counsel for Google, she
told us in an exclusive interview. The company filed what
it calls a first of its kind lawsuit under the
Rico Act, typically used to take down organized crime rings.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
So it's a civil suit using RICO.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
The case targets unknown operators listed as John Does one
through twenty five, who allegedly built a phishing as a
service platform to power mass text attacks.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Phishing as a service, So this isn't just somebody that's
out there sending these random texts and hoping that you'll
click on this.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
This is a package deal.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Would this suit help victims recover any losses?
Speaker 8 (21:25):
I would say specifically no. The ideas for this is
to actually be a deterrent for future criminals to create
similar enterprises. It's also to take down the infrastructure in
and of itself, and.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That infrastructure is all those fake websites. So let's say
that you do get one of those those texts that
say you know you need to pay up you owe
for crossing the Bay bridge, but you're not in San Franciscolors.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
You're not crossing a Bay bridge.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And it says click here if there's a problem, and
you click on it, and then it takes you to
a website that looks like a legitimate website. Come to
find out all all those fake websites, those are sold
like happy meals to criminals.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
It's a kit. This would be like if you wanted
to dip.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Your toe into burglaries, you would just simply go to
the burglary store and buy a kit with the mask
and gloves and a sweet black turtleneck and a lock
pit set and a giant black drostring stuffel and blueprints to.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Places you want to burgle? Who do? And for all
I know, Look, this sounds like something out of the movies.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It sounds like Hollywood, where you go, sure enough, oh,
we're working for this conglomerate, the High Table or whoever else.
It is probably Kevin Spacey running something and they're all
behind this massive organized crime scheme. And whatever you need
you can just simply go into the back room and
there's a montage and you put it all together and
then you go hit your target.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
But I gotta tell you that when.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It comes to pulling this stuff off, like the louver,
nobody's zipping into the local pawn shop using a password
and then going into the layer for giant museum heists.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
And yet when it comes to scamming you, that's exactly
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Those fake websites are just simply sure, what do you
need a website for it? Oh you want Californy DMV, Yeah, great,
here you go. Oh you want it to be a Google, Great,
here you go. You want to say somebody, somebody's been
hacked and they need to go to Norton.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Sure, this is gonna look like Norton. There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, Google's finding those people and they're trying to shut
down the spammer store. Basically. Now you think your kid's
soccer team is intense. Oh no, we scrapped this one,
didn't we.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Kayla, Kayla, Kayla, Kayla.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Kyla's producing the show, and she modifies what we have
coming up in our final segment.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
And does she tell me to change the teas? No
she does not. Does she change the teas? No she
does not. Kayla. I'm sorry, I expect better from you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Can I still be in your movie.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
That's it's not his movie based.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
It will be by the time my agent gets done
with you. Bucco.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, Al's actually Ali. Do we get do we get
scale on this? Do we get like minimum? What are
we getting? What are you paying us?
Speaker 6 (24:15):
I'm gonna have you audition first, and then I'll decide.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Oh wow, big time. What does he have the audition for?
He's great, he just auditioned on the.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Show all day.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Right, Yeah, you know what, Christopher, we have to go
to commercial break anyway, I'll get Ali leader all right,
that's good.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
All right, Kayla's sending us to commercials.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
All Right, gen Z is making up another stupid word
for something we've been doing all along. You'll hear what
it is and why gen Z is really messed up
in this economy so bad they're farming out these stupid words.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Chris Meryl, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Allie, buddy, love working with you.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I can't wait until we work professionally, you know, on
your feature film.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Have your people call my people? Well do Chris? Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Uh, Brigitta, yes, Poice is still relaxing. You can just
you can tell me about a terrible accident that has
just taken the line of hundreds of puppies, and I'd
be like, oh that's sad. Oh no, maybe I need
to go to an acting class with Ali over here.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Oh you know what you could do.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
And bit up, get that little voice effect.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You've got dozens of puppish farm.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Uh kayla, you make me laugh. I genuinely mean that.
You make me laugh on the air, off the air.
Thank you for being part of the show. I mean it.
And I hate it when you're not here, and I
hate it when I'm not here working with you. I
look forward to our Sunday together. You're the best. Now,
I think we can all agree. Gen Z is the worst.
Not that they're doing anything necessarily wrong, it's just that
(25:59):
stop making stuff up. Every generation is different than the
previous generations. That's fine. Gen Z has got it harder
than previous generations, right, I get that, But don't complicate
things even more by just trying to confuse the English language.
The latest word that they're trying to use that has
been around for a long long time is called the
side hustle. Nope, they've renamed the side hustle or second
(26:26):
job here you go.
Speaker 12 (26:27):
Polyworking isn't just juggling jobs. It's combining multiple small side
hustles into one income.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Stream poly working. Poly working meaning you have multiple jobs.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
Okay, I think freelancing, selling digital products, part time consulting,
or even reselling. Alone they don't pay much, with together,
they can add up to a full salary.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
This is from the podcast I believe side Hustle Nation
Pro and I also think I'm the first person to
view this real.
Speaker 12 (26:59):
Imagine making five hundred dollars a month designing logos, eight
hundred dollars flipping items online, and one thousand, two hundred
dollars selling digital guides.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Imagine filling Oh hang on, sorry, let's see if I
can just get this.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I gotta get the.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Right is fired, He's fired, Ali, I don't know if
you saw that.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
No, this is the better one. This is the better one.
On they go back to what this guy says.
Speaker 12 (27:24):
Eight hundred dollars flipping items online and one thousand, two
hundred dollars selling digital guides. Suddenly you're pulling over forty
five thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Imagine filling out a resume, getting a job, happing insurance,
a four oh one K and the future, You too
could do it.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
It's called filling out a resume. Filling out a resume
a new.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Concept, thanks gen Z.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Instead of just trying to piecemeal a bunch of jobs together,
just fill out a resume.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
If you're trying to door dash and your uber eating
and you're ubering and you're lifting like because you have to,
that's fine. But don't listen to random internet guy that
says you could do all these other things. You're not
an entrepreneur just because you fell for a pyramid scheme.
You're not polyworking. Get a job. Hey, I'm back again Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Talk to you then.

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.
