Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm Chris Meryll. Oh, guys are making me feel gross. Yeah,
it's kind of gross. We were talking about food. I
guess I didn't know what about cheese could be used with,
like intestinal chemicals from the animals that helped the cheese
(00:30):
to curdle or something of the sort. So wait a minute.
If I'm eating cottage cheese, is that is that using rennet?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's only some cheeses, like I think, I forget if
it's soft cheeses or hard cheeses. I know, like Parmesan
is like one that always uses rennet.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh, come on now, I can't ever rennick. I didn't
even Oh, it's basically the juice from an animal's stomach,
mainly found the lining of the fourth stomach of young goats, calves,
and lambs. Uh. It only occurs in these animals when
(01:10):
their main diet is still milk. Wait a minute, So
we're harvesting the juices from the fourth stomach of baby goats.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
That's what I'm That's what I'm concluding. But you know,
if it's tasty, who cares?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
But who who found it? In the full exactly what
I was.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I thank them for their dedication and service.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
There was somebody in Italy that was like, you know what,
we need.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
France as France the man, please don't do that anymore,
just anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So there's some some Italian guy.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Hey, oh, now you're like Jersey Italian.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, I have a appropriate.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Do you're appropriating Jersey?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I speak on behalf of us.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So you know there's some There's some Italian guy out
there who sounds like the Mario brothers and he's He's like, man,
these noodles are good, but they sure would be a
lot better if I just mixed up some goat belly
acid and stirred it in and all of a sudden,
a boom, bought a bang. We got Alfredo.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Oh oh, Chrid is not to gross you out anymore,
but Guinness great beer.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I love it personally.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
This was the first year that it wasn't filtered out
with pig bladder.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now they use real filters, because remember it's been around
seventeen hundreds, So that can't be true, Caleb, will you
bing that that can't be true that Guinness is filtered
with pig bladder. Although I eat hot dogs, I love those.
I just don't want to know what's in.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Them fish bladders, not pig bladders.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Fish fish bladders. Never have guessed that.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
Hey, Chris, this is Carla, Carla, and I'm wondering if
all those preservatives that we eat in the processed food
is helping us.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
Live longer and preserving us. I love Kayla because she
is so great host.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Oh I love I'm not I'm a producer, but I
love you Carla. Thank God for Carla. I had a
rough night.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
All right, Okay, where are we going? There's no business
like Joe business. Wicked for Good that just opened, right,
Wicked for Good just open, and they're expecting a pretty
decent weekend box office return.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They're talking about it being it's got decent ratings to
on I guess IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes or whatever, but
not as high as the last one. Uh. Most critics
are saying, yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah it's pretty They're saying, yeah,
pretty good. So the film adapts act to Broadway musical
plus elements The Wizard of Oz. Obviously, blah blah blah.
(04:20):
They added two new songs, They revised some character arcs
as well, and the story tracks Glinda's rise to Glinda
the Good and is it alphaba? I always say it wrong,
yeah Alphaba. Okay. Her growing opposition to the Wizard's regime
parallel paralleling Oz's civil unrest. So basically she's a you know,
(04:42):
kind of the leader of the of the Dissonance, but
then she gets painted as being the bad witch. Here's
the issue that people are having. However, with the film, Oh,
I do have a I did pull this, Ali, You're
gonna have edit this out of the poor Ali. We
did a bit the last week Kaitlin where I was
talking about the best guitar riffs of all time and
(05:03):
we just kept playing licensed music. And so for the podcast,
Ali had to go through there like he was Frankenstein,
just cutting everything up. So and the whole show sounded like, oh,
you know, what's a really good one? Is this one?
And then it would skip ahead. So anybody listening to
the podcast from this he was an absolute disaster. No,
I think I made a work.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Of course you did.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I made a work, but it's definitely it definitely added
an extra thirty minutes to my night.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Ali.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
All right, well mark this one because you're gonna have
to cut this up to this from the new the
new Wicked for good? Uh, And I'm I tell you this,
and I feel like I can say it because I
majored in theater in college and we did a lot
of musical theater. All musical theaters. Starts to sound the same.
It always sounds like this, and then it slowly build
until someone hits a note and bounts it out all
(05:55):
the time.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Awful. Wait, that was the clip no that I.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Think you're gonna have. No, don't edit that out. People
want to hear that. God, doesn't it? That follows the
exact same formula I just told you? Did you play
the clip? We? Did? You just keep? That was the
clip that no? Good deed? Nice try? But didn't that
follow the exact It starts down here and it tells
(06:20):
this story until it builds and then they built out
a big note.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, you are to become formulaic.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
My favorite headline for Wicked's review recently was it was
Wicked for good, not great.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh that's good. That's pretty Wicked for not great, not great.
Let me see. Uh. Grande is catching some grief for
being too skinny again. Her ribs are visible protruding collar
bones and sagging size zero outfits. Why are we body
(07:02):
shaving her?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I thought that was so early two thousands. I didn't
think that we were talking about people's.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I guess we are now, yeah, well, because remember thick
is in. Remember Lizzo was like, oh, thick is in.
You got to be thick and everybody wants to be
thick and and love you for who you are. And
as I'll say that, I think so, And then didn't
Lizzo go on ozempic.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Lizzo's kind of tiny. Now she's tiny? Are now?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah? Right? And it's like the problem is when you
do that? Is that when he yes, you should accept
people for how they are, But that doesn't mean I
have to be satisfied with the way that I look.
I don't want to just look in the mirror and
go oh, I'm fat and that's great. No, it's not.
(07:46):
It's unhealthy. And I don't like the way I look
in the mirror. So thank you for accepting me. I
love you. You're wonderful for doing that, and I want to
continue to improve myself. That's so wrong.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I think that's the way it should be.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Christal, somebody's gonna get mad at me and go like, oh,
how dare you you're that's bad for self esteem, that's bad,
you know what. It's bad for my heart to be
one hundred pounds overweight. So yep, I loved to look
like Ariana Grande even way.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It's nobody's business, but you're in.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, except thanks is everybody's business. When you're a public figure,
they just love to pile on. You know. It's great
to remember when Ariana Grande got in trouble for licking
a donut.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I'm still kind of mad at her about that. Yeah,
I'm not gonna lie out.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But it's not like she was licking a celery stick.
She was looking like the fattiest food known to Maine.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
But she didn't eat it. She licked it and put
it back. So that's Oh you think that's how she
stays skinny?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Pick it up.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
She literally just licked it and looked it.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Yeah, I'm so mad that nasty girl.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That was great. I love that. Oh there's no business
like show business. One classic is coming back and another
classic says he never wants to go away. You'll find
out who it is next. Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You're listening to KFI am six forty on demand?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Hither Chris Meryl if I am six forty more stimulating
talk from the talkbacks. Always appreciate when you guys drop in.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
I was having a rough sunday, Chris, can you let
me it?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
You are great? Thanks?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Brigeta you you don't believe what the talkback said to
me earlier. They called me losers and what else? Unattractive?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
No, born in a bar?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
They know I'm born in a bar, Yeah they did.
They said, Kayla, that behavior is very unattractive. No, not attractive.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
They said you're a loser.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
They said I was a loser like and they said
my behavior is unattractive. You must have forgot that one.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I did.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Think you're unattractive. So I just I just flushed that one, right.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oh Christopher, Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I look, I know there's times I gotta build you.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Up, so This is one of those times I appreciate you, Christopher.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh, you know, I appreciate you. Let's do there's no
business like Joe business better. She did that with flaming
hot Cheetos in her mouth.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They're bringing it back and they're filming it in California.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Once the world's most popular show and possibly the most Californian,
bay Watch is leading a California comeback. That's the hope
of businesses like Cali Life T shirts are.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Really excited about Baywatch coming back here because it's really
good for tourism.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah. So at some point the California accent will evolve, evolve,
but at some point is not anywhere close.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
And that's what we need over here.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
The new version of Baywatch is one of seventeen shows
benefiting from the states expanded tax credits for film and TV,
designed to bring back production to California after years of decline.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So good to be shooting in Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Actor Dwayne Johnson, the star of the twenty seventeen Baywatch.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Movie Nope, Nope, Nope, celebrating.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
On the Universal Lot the filming of the Jumanji sequel
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I have not shot a film in Los Angeles and
I I don't know why. So it feels so good
to bring a production back home to Los Angeles. Yeah,
that's cool. But I want Hasselhoff and have a hard
working cruise leap in their own bed every night. That's great.
(12:14):
I love the rock He's great, fantastic. I want Hasselhoff.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
The TV shows are expected to generate more than a
billion dollars for the state's economy and employ more than
five thousand cash and crew.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
We've all worried for a long time about the loss
of our entertainment industry from Los Angeles, and these tax
credits are making the difference. I cannot think of any
brand more synonymous with Los Angeles and our iconic coastline
than the television show they watch.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Okay, so I'm looking this help hold on here, uh,
because the other thing I'm thinking is these are the
sorts of shows that people get their starts or they
get you know, they get like a like their first
real show, whether it's like guest starring and introducing. So
(13:09):
I just pulled this up Real Fast Entertainment Weekly Mariska
hargate A picked up one of her first small screen
credits with Baywatch in nineteen eighty nine. Michelle Williams also
Shaggy the singer that did it wasn't me. Yeah. He
(13:29):
had an uncredited performance in a nineteen ninety six episode
of the show, and he sang in the Summertime of
the Beach for a season seven special. Brian Cranston Breaking Bad,
Malcolm's Dad from the Middle. David Spade, he was on
Baywatch nineteen eighty nine. It was his third on screen credit.
So Eric Estrada long after Chips. Obviously, Lenno did an
(13:55):
episode played himself. Miila kunis Little Richard Berry wants in
Hulk Hogan. Carry Ann Moss had a very a very
small part in the fourth season. That's uh, you know,
Carrie An Moss from The Matrix. So when you film
these shows here, that means that there's a lot of
(14:15):
starving actors and actresses getting a shot to do some work.
And I kind of love that, especially because it's hard
to come by work. It is hard to come by work.
You gotta be in the right place at the right time.
And sometimes I gotta tell you this, in radio, especially
in talk rado, sometimes like you gotta wait for somebody
to retire and that's that's often tough, and I know
that happens in sports. One of my good friends to
(14:37):
play by play guy, and he had to wait for
another guy to retire. The guy had been doing it
for something like thirty seven years and he finally retired
at about seventy years old, and then fortunately my friend
got the job. One guy says he does not seem
to want to retire al Michaels. He says he'd like
to stay with Amazon's Thursday Night Football, but the decision
(14:58):
belongs to Amazon, and and some people say that he's
he doesn't have any good energy. I love it. I
like listening to al Michaels. I know some people don't
like him at all. I can tell you the I
can tell you the play by play people I like
and don't like. I like al Michaels. And I do
recognize though that he's slipping a little bit, but he's
(15:18):
ad he wanted. It's not slipping. He's not slipping that much.
So I'm fine with al Michaels. I say, bring him back.
I'm fine with it. So that's good. And he and
Kirk Herbstreet may make actually a pretty good pair. Kirk
always does a nice job with some of the more
mature members of the sports world. He did that with
Lee Corso for years too. They had a beautiful relationship,
(15:41):
and so there's just a tremendous amount of respect and
it kind of comes across through the microphone. So Al
Michael says he's not retiring, Baywatch is rebooting. That's good
news all the way around. Hey, you're about to find
out that the subscription you trusted might have been dipping
in your wallet in ways that you never agreed to.

showing up in your bank account.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
The Federal Trade Commission tells us that automatic refunds are
now going out to millions of Amazon Prime customers. This
is part of that massive two point five billion dollar
settlement reached in September, where the FTC accused Amazon of
tricking customers into signing up for Prime and then making
it too hard to cancel the subscription. At the time,
Amazon did not admit wrongdoing, saying in a statement that
(22:24):
Amazon and our executives have always followed the law and
this settlement allows us to move forward and focus on
innovating for customers. So now Amazon is starting to pay
out customers up to fifty one dollars per person. If
you're entitled to an automatic refund finment, you should get
an email from Amazon asking you to claim the money
through PayPal or Venmo.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You can also choo, oh my gosh, that's going to
be right for fraud? How many how many scam emails
are you going to get that are going to mimic
the Amazon email as to say, click here to enter
your PayPal account information so we can send you the money.
Oh my gosh, this is gonna be the worst scam.
How do you not see this coming?
Speaker 11 (23:03):
Just to get a check in the mail. And this
applies to people who enrolled in Prime between June twenty
nineteen and June twenty twenty five. And here's the key,
didn't use the benefit more than three times in a year. Now,
if you don't get an automatic payment, you might.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Still qualify for a refund. So you can go to
the website.
Speaker 11 (23:20):
You see it there on your screen, Subscription Membership Settlement
dot com, claim a refund.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There right anyway, that seems very specif oddly specific, between
June twenty third, twenty nineteen and June twenty third, twenty
twenty five, and you use no more than three prime
benefits in a year. Okay, but if you had it
for a year, isn't prime like one hundred and fifty
bucks or something? Now, and your refund is fifty one
dollars and you're probably gonna get scammed when they try
(23:47):
to get all your information. Uh no, thank you, I
am I am out on that all right. The great
doctor Wendy Walsh is going to face a very tough
question next, and that is why your keys are all
letting you down. That is next, Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
AM six forty more stimulating talk on demand anytime on

Thanksgiving Eve as well right after Conway. So look forward
to talking to you. Then the great Doctor Wendy Walsh
pops into the studio and takes over the padded room
at seven o'clock. Doctor Wendy, Hey, how you doing. I'm
(24:37):
doing well. I don't know well. First of all, I
gotta make a mensure of the pastathon is going on again.
Of course we've got the big live broadcast coming up

You just say yes and you pick Katerina's Club from
those options. And then on Monday, we're going to open
up our auction KIM six forty dot com slash auction,
another way for you to get in on the Pastathon. So,
doctor Wendy, I wanted to ask you this. I happened
across the study. It says about one in six parents
believe that they are currently raising a child who will
(25:19):
become a professional athlete. Wow, yeah they are.
Speaker 12 (25:24):
How the data flights, like how many professional athletes there
are in America compared to how many population? Yeah, I
know what the odds are there? Yeah, so like winning
a lottery.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Seventeen percent say they believe their children their child is
destined for sports stardom, and nearly two more than two
thirds are convinced that their kid performs above average despite
the mathematical, to your point impossibility of everyone being above average.
And so they are spending hours every week, hundreds every
(25:56):
year on lessons, on equipment, on all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
What pressure for the poor kids?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
You know.
Speaker 12 (26:04):
I was talking to a woman who's a former olympian
at a cocktail party recently, and she's a you know,
like she works with youth in sports, and she said
the biggest problem in sports is that by third grade,
teachers coaches have identified those kids that seem to have
(26:26):
athletic potential and the other kids are not taught the
joy of movement because it becomes this competitive game of
can I get my kid into the big leagues? What
club sports do they need to be in? How can
we do this? Instead of how can we teach all
of our children to have good sportsmanship and to enjoy
(26:48):
their bodies and moving their bodies and enjoy sports and
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's it's so PE isn't even about physical education. Then
it's just about identifying.
Speaker 12 (26:58):
That No my kids were in elementary school, there was
no PE program. I actually founded with a group of
volunteers and funded by a gym called the Sports Club LA.
They gave thousands of dollars every year for us to
train coaches and volunteers. A lot of their personal trainers
from their clubs would come down and work out with
the kids. So we would put the teachers during one
(27:20):
period a day in conference together so they could work
out their lesson plans, and they were happy for that,
and then we got the kids running around the yard
with brightly colored equipment. So I think that we need
to have more private and corporate involvement in our schools,
but we need to get rid of this idea. I
know people don't like that it's not fair that everybody
(27:41):
gets a trophy, right. I agree, it's not fair that
everybody gets a trophy. Kids need to learn what it
feels like to lose sometimes, But They also need to
learn that sometimes you may not win the game, but
you personally achieved a personal best because you did something.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Oh yeah, and I think that happens to.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Pro sports all the time. You have an outstanding star
and a team that just stinks. Yeah, yeah, happens all
the time. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I Also I'm a little bit concerned with everybody thinking
that their kid is special, Like what what stop character syndrome?
Speaker 9 (28:14):
No, I don't disagree with that, and here's why.
Speaker 12 (28:16):
So the research shows that kids obviously respond best when
they're but kids are kids are smart, right, they know
if you're lying, they know if you're lying.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Right.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
But complimenting them, helping them when they're you know, when
they're achieving stuff is very important. And the general rule
of thumb is three way to goose good jobs for everyone.
Criticism because what vents is parents will over some parents,
and traditionally parents did this. They will over criticize kids,
(28:45):
and then they grow up to have these critical voices
and feel that they're less than and they can't achieve.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Right now, I know when it comes to sports, they
really are less than.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Yeah, but what about just being joyfully wasn't that fun?
How did you do it. I listened to the sports Solar.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
A sports psychologist once said the five words that every
parent should learn to say if they're a sports parent
is this.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Fu ref Oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
No, I enjoyed watching you today. Oh that's all. Kids.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
They want to be seen, they want to have parents.
I enjoyed watching you today. That's all that matters.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
You also wanted to get better.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Now you're talking like a dude.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
No, but you got to coach them up a little bit.
Speaker 12 (29:36):
Well, and you think the way to coach them up
is to say you're bad, you better try harder. No,
and that is kind of a gendered notion.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
No, I have to tell you something.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
I have this theory, right, Okay, So I've worked out
with various personal trainers across in my lifespan, and when
they're a dude, I did notice that they try to
coach and encourage by saying, come on, you can't even
do three more?
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Can you come on?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Walsh?
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Negative?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Right? Right? Yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
However, you have a woman trainer. She's like, you doing
was so great? You're doing so great? Could we try
one more together?
Speaker 5 (30:06):
You got this?
Speaker 12 (30:07):
You really got this. It's all this positivity encouragement. I
work harder for those people than the ones who put
me down. So maybe there's a gender thing. Maybe guys
work harder when they're criticized.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
I don't know, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Just saying, look, if I if I get we gotta
wrap up here, because Ali's gonna kill me if I
go late again. But if if I take my kid
and we go play baseball, and I am excited, I
tell him, I go, I'm so glad I got to
see you play. But then I also want to coach
him up, and I want to go, hey, you did it.
You did a great job. Remember that play when you
you know, when you when you threw the ball pass
(30:39):
first base and it and it hit your coach in
the head and now he's in the hospital. Right.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
I don't think they need to be reminded about that.
They saw it.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
But then we go, we go, I go, I go,
I got a trick for you to try to be
a little more accurate with your throats. Can I do
it that way? Absolutely? Like, hey, you you miss him?
Speaker 9 (30:55):
Teaching technique is different from criticizing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Okay, well all right, that's what I needed to hear.
Speaker 9 (30:59):
Yeah, but remember those words I enjoyed watching you today.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I love that great. And also, you're no Lebron James.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
No, don't say that.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
No, tell him that.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Set expectations early on.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
No, because then they'll have the bar be really low.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You'll be great at math. Doctor Wendy Walsh is up next. Ali.
By the way, Doctor Wendy saved my keyster earlier because
we had an F bomb slipped through on one of
our talkbacks, so he saved all of our jobs, so
we appreciate that.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Brigitta came in and she wowed us with obviously, her
marriage is perfect, her home is perfect, she's great mom.
Not really, but and then Cayla. We found out that
Kayla is hot and a loser. Born in a barn.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
It's been a I don't think she's seen a barn before.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
It's been a tough come on. That's almost more insulted. Kelly,
you've seen a barn before?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
You're okay, that's that's for another show. We're looking forward to,
Doctor Wendy, have a great show. Can't wait. Thank you.
I'm back Tuesday. Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Kfi A M six forty on demand
Speaker 9 (32:13):
M
You're listening to KFI AM six on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm Chris Meryll. Oh, guys are making me feel gross. Yeah,
it's kind of gross. We were talking about food. I
guess I didn't know what about cheese could be used with,
like intestinal chemicals from the animals that helped the cheese
(00:30):
to curdle or something of the sort. So wait a minute.
If I'm eating cottage cheese, is that is that using rennet?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's only some cheeses, like I think, I forget if
it's soft cheeses or hard cheeses. I know, like Parmesan
is like one that always uses rennet.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh, come on now, I can't ever rennick. I didn't
even Oh, it's basically the juice from an animal's stomach,
mainly found the lining of the fourth stomach of young goats, calves,
and lambs. Uh. It only occurs in these animals when
(01:10):
their main diet is still milk. Wait a minute, So
we're harvesting the juices from the fourth stomach of baby goats.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
That's what I'm That's what I'm concluding. But you know,
if it's tasty, who cares?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
But who who found it? In the full exactly what
I was.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I thank them for their dedication and service.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
There was somebody in Italy that was like, you know what,
we need.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
France as France the man, please don't do that anymore,
just anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So there's some some Italian guy.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Hey, oh, now you're like Jersey Italian.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, I have a appropriate.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Do you're appropriating Jersey?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I speak on behalf of us.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So you know there's some There's some Italian guy out
there who sounds like the Mario brothers and he's He's like, man,
these noodles are good, but they sure would be a
lot better if I just mixed up some goat belly
acid and stirred it in and all of a sudden,
a boom, bought a bang. We got Alfredo.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Oh oh, Chrid is not to gross you out anymore,
but Guinness great beer.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I love it personally.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
This was the first year that it wasn't filtered out
with pig bladder.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now they use real filters, because remember it's been around
seventeen hundreds, So that can't be true, Caleb, will you
bing that that can't be true that Guinness is filtered
with pig bladder. Although I eat hot dogs, I love those.
I just don't want to know what's in.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Them fish bladders, not pig bladders.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Fish fish bladders. Never have guessed that.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
Hey, Chris, this is Carla, Carla, and I'm wondering if
all those preservatives that we eat in the processed food
is helping us.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
Live longer and preserving us. I love Kayla because she
is so great host.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Oh I love I'm not I'm a producer, but I
love you Carla. Thank God for Carla. I had a
rough night.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
All right, Okay, where are we going? There's no business
like Joe business. Wicked for Good that just opened, right,
Wicked for Good just open, and they're expecting a pretty
decent weekend box office return.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They're talking about it being it's got decent ratings to
on I guess IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes or whatever, but
not as high as the last one. Uh. Most critics
are saying, yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah it's pretty They're saying, yeah,
pretty good. So the film adapts act to Broadway musical
plus elements The Wizard of Oz. Obviously, blah blah blah.
(04:20):
They added two new songs, They revised some character arcs
as well, and the story tracks Glinda's rise to Glinda
the Good and is it alphaba? I always say it wrong,
yeah Alphaba. Okay. Her growing opposition to the Wizard's regime
parallel paralleling Oz's civil unrest. So basically she's a you know,
(04:42):
kind of the leader of the of the Dissonance, but
then she gets painted as being the bad witch. Here's
the issue that people are having. However, with the film, Oh,
I do have a I did pull this, Ali, You're
gonna have edit this out of the poor Ali. We
did a bit the last week Kaitlin where I was
talking about the best guitar riffs of all time and
(05:03):
we just kept playing licensed music. And so for the podcast,
Ali had to go through there like he was Frankenstein,
just cutting everything up. So and the whole show sounded like, oh,
you know, what's a really good one? Is this one?
And then it would skip ahead. So anybody listening to
the podcast from this he was an absolute disaster. No,
I think I made a work.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Of course you did.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I made a work, but it's definitely it definitely added
an extra thirty minutes to my night.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Ali.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
All right, well mark this one because you're gonna have
to cut this up to this from the new the
new Wicked for good? Uh, And I'm I tell you this,
and I feel like I can say it because I
majored in theater in college and we did a lot
of musical theater. All musical theaters. Starts to sound the same.
It always sounds like this, and then it slowly build
until someone hits a note and bounts it out all
(05:55):
the time.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Awful. Wait, that was the clip no that I.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Think you're gonna have. No, don't edit that out. People
want to hear that. God, doesn't it? That follows the
exact same formula I just told you? Did you play
the clip? We? Did? You just keep? That was the
clip that no? Good deed? Nice try? But didn't that
follow the exact It starts down here and it tells
(06:20):
this story until it builds and then they built out
a big note.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, you are to become formulaic.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
My favorite headline for Wicked's review recently was it was
Wicked for good, not great.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh that's good. That's pretty Wicked for not great, not great.
Let me see. Uh. Grande is catching some grief for
being too skinny again. Her ribs are visible protruding collar
bones and sagging size zero outfits. Why are we body
(07:02):
shaving her?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I thought that was so early two thousands. I didn't
think that we were talking about people's.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I guess we are now, yeah, well, because remember thick
is in. Remember Lizzo was like, oh, thick is in.
You got to be thick and everybody wants to be
thick and and love you for who you are. And
as I'll say that, I think so, And then didn't
Lizzo go on ozempic.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Lizzo's kind of tiny. Now she's tiny? Are now?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah? Right? And it's like the problem is when you
do that? Is that when he yes, you should accept
people for how they are, But that doesn't mean I
have to be satisfied with the way that I look.
I don't want to just look in the mirror and
go oh, I'm fat and that's great. No, it's not.
(07:46):
It's unhealthy. And I don't like the way I look
in the mirror. So thank you for accepting me. I
love you. You're wonderful for doing that, and I want to
continue to improve myself. That's so wrong.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I think that's the way it should be.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Christal, somebody's gonna get mad at me and go like, oh,
how dare you you're that's bad for self esteem, that's bad,
you know what. It's bad for my heart to be
one hundred pounds overweight. So yep, I loved to look
like Ariana Grande even way.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It's nobody's business, but you're in.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, except thanks is everybody's business. When you're a public figure,
they just love to pile on. You know. It's great
to remember when Ariana Grande got in trouble for licking
a donut.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I'm still kind of mad at her about that. Yeah,
I'm not gonna lie out.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But it's not like she was licking a celery stick.
She was looking like the fattiest food known to Maine.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
But she didn't eat it. She licked it and put
it back. So that's Oh you think that's how she
stays skinny?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Pick it up.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
She literally just licked it and looked it.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Yeah, I'm so mad that nasty girl.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That was great. I love that. Oh there's no business
like show business. One classic is coming back and another
classic says he never wants to go away. You'll find
out who it is next. Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You're listening to KFI am six forty on demand?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Hither Chris Meryl if I am six forty more stimulating
talk from the talkbacks. Always appreciate when you guys drop in.
Let us know what's on your mind. Calling in to
compliment the host, Kayla, a great show.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Wow, thank you guys. I love you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah. Great, Yeah, I'm great. Yeah, fix this. I think
I can fix this. Calling in to compliment the host
on great show. Thanks, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I was having a rough sunday, Chris, can you let
me it?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
You are great? Thanks?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Brigeta you you don't believe what the talkback said to
me earlier. They called me losers and what else? Unattractive?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
No, born in a bar?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
They know I'm born in a bar, Yeah they did.
They said, Kayla, that behavior is very unattractive. No, not attractive.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
They said you're a loser.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
They said I was a loser like and they said
my behavior is unattractive. You must have forgot that one.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I did.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Think you're unattractive. So I just I just flushed that one, right.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oh Christopher, Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I look, I know there's times I gotta build you.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Up, so This is one of those times I appreciate you, Christopher.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh, you know, I appreciate you. Let's do there's no
business like Joe business better. She did that with flaming
hot Cheetos in her mouth.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They're bringing it back and they're filming it in California.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Once the world's most popular show and possibly the most Californian,
bay Watch is leading a California comeback. That's the hope
of businesses like Cali Life T shirts are.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Really excited about Baywatch coming back here because it's really
good for tourism.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah. So at some point the California accent will evolve, evolve,
but at some point is not anywhere close.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
And that's what we need over here.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
The new version of Baywatch is one of seventeen shows
benefiting from the states expanded tax credits for film and TV,
designed to bring back production to California after years of decline.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So good to be shooting in Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Actor Dwayne Johnson, the star of the twenty seventeen Baywatch.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Movie Nope, Nope, Nope, celebrating.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
On the Universal Lot the filming of the Jumanji sequel
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I have not shot a film in Los Angeles and
I I don't know why. So it feels so good
to bring a production back home to Los Angeles. Yeah,
that's cool. But I want Hasselhoff and have a hard
working cruise leap in their own bed every night. That's great.
(12:14):
I love the rock He's great, fantastic. I want Hasselhoff.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
The TV shows are expected to generate more than a
billion dollars for the state's economy and employ more than
five thousand cash and crew.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
We've all worried for a long time about the loss
of our entertainment industry from Los Angeles, and these tax
credits are making the difference. I cannot think of any
brand more synonymous with Los Angeles and our iconic coastline
than the television show they watch.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Okay, so I'm looking this help hold on here, uh,
because the other thing I'm thinking is these are the
sorts of shows that people get their starts or they
get you know, they get like a like their first
real show, whether it's like guest starring and introducing. So
(13:09):
I just pulled this up Real Fast Entertainment Weekly Mariska
hargate A picked up one of her first small screen
credits with Baywatch in nineteen eighty nine. Michelle Williams also
Shaggy the singer that did it wasn't me. Yeah. He
(13:29):
had an uncredited performance in a nineteen ninety six episode
of the show, and he sang in the Summertime of
the Beach for a season seven special. Brian Cranston Breaking Bad,
Malcolm's Dad from the Middle. David Spade, he was on
Baywatch nineteen eighty nine. It was his third on screen credit.
So Eric Estrada long after Chips. Obviously, Lenno did an
(13:55):
episode played himself. Miila kunis Little Richard Berry wants in
Hulk Hogan. Carry Ann Moss had a very a very
small part in the fourth season. That's uh, you know,
Carrie An Moss from The Matrix. So when you film
these shows here, that means that there's a lot of
(14:15):
starving actors and actresses getting a shot to do some work.
And I kind of love that, especially because it's hard
to come by work. It is hard to come by work.
You gotta be in the right place at the right time.
And sometimes I gotta tell you this, in radio, especially
in talk rado, sometimes like you gotta wait for somebody
to retire and that's that's often tough, and I know
that happens in sports. One of my good friends to
(14:37):
play by play guy, and he had to wait for
another guy to retire. The guy had been doing it
for something like thirty seven years and he finally retired
at about seventy years old, and then fortunately my friend
got the job. One guy says he does not seem
to want to retire al Michaels. He says he'd like
to stay with Amazon's Thursday Night Football, but the decision
(14:58):
belongs to Amazon, and and some people say that he's
he doesn't have any good energy. I love it. I
like listening to al Michaels. I know some people don't
like him at all. I can tell you the I
can tell you the play by play people I like
and don't like. I like al Michaels. And I do
recognize though that he's slipping a little bit, but he's
(15:18):
ad he wanted. It's not slipping. He's not slipping that much.
So I'm fine with al Michaels. I say, bring him back.
I'm fine with it. So that's good. And he and
Kirk Herbstreet may make actually a pretty good pair. Kirk
always does a nice job with some of the more
mature members of the sports world. He did that with
Lee Corso for years too. They had a beautiful relationship,

it kind of comes across through the microphone. So Al
Michael says he's not retiring, Baywatch is rebooting. That's good

to rule them all. That's it, one ring to rule
them all. Yes, Okay. Meanwhile, you may have some money
showing up in your bank account.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
The Federal Trade Commission tells us that automatic refunds are
now going out to millions of Amazon Prime customers. This
is part of that massive two point five billion dollar
settlement reached in September, where the FTC accused Amazon of
tricking customers into signing up for Prime and then making
it too hard to cancel the subscription. At the time,
Amazon did not admit wrongdoing, saying in a statement that
(22:24):
Amazon and our executives have always followed the law and
this settlement allows us to move forward and focus on
innovating for customers. So now Amazon is starting to pay
out customers up to fifty one dollars per person. If
you're entitled to an automatic refund finment, you should get
an email from Amazon asking you to claim the money
through PayPal or Venmo.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You can also choo, oh my gosh, that's going to
be right for fraud? How many how many scam emails
are you going to get that are going to mimic
the Amazon email as to say, click here to enter
your PayPal account information so we can send you the money.
Oh my gosh, this is gonna be the worst scam.
How do you not see this coming?
Speaker 11 (23:03):
Just to get a check in the mail. And this
applies to people who enrolled in Prime between June twenty
nineteen and June twenty twenty five. And here's the key,
didn't use the benefit more than three times in a year. Now,
if you don't get an automatic payment, you might.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Still qualify for a refund. So you can go to
the website.
Speaker 11 (23:20):
You see it there on your screen, Subscription Membership Settlement
dot com, claim a refund.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There right anyway, that seems very specif oddly specific, between
June twenty third, twenty nineteen and June twenty third, twenty
twenty five, and you use no more than three prime
benefits in a year. Okay, but if you had it
for a year, isn't prime like one hundred and fifty
bucks or something? Now, and your refund is fifty one
dollars and you're probably gonna get scammed when they try
(23:47):
to get all your information. Uh no, thank you, I
am I am out on that all right. The great
doctor Wendy Walsh is going to face a very tough
question next, and that is why your keys are all
letting you down. That is next, Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
AM six forty more stimulating talk on demand anytime on
the iHeartRadio app. I'm back on Tuesday night and then
Thanksgiving Eve as well right after Conway. So look forward
to talking to you. Then the great Doctor Wendy Walsh
pops into the studio and takes over the padded room
at seven o'clock. Doctor Wendy, Hey, how you doing. I'm
(24:37):
doing well. I don't know well. First of all, I
gotta make a mensure of the pastathon is going on again.
Of course we've got the big live broadcast coming up
on December second at the Anaheim White House, Anaheim Boulevard.
You can donate anytime kfi am six forty dot com
slash Pastathon. You can also go to any smart and

go to Yamava Resort and Casino cash your winning ticket.
(24:58):
It's gonna say do you want to donate your change?
You just say yes and you pick Katerina's Club from
those options. And then on Monday, we're going to open
up our auction KIM six forty dot com slash auction,
another way for you to get in on the Pastathon. So,
doctor Wendy, I wanted to ask you this. I happened
across the study. It says about one in six parents
believe that they are currently raising a child who will
(25:19):
become a professional athlete. Wow, yeah they are.
Speaker 12 (25:24):
How the data flights, like how many professional athletes there
are in America compared to how many population? Yeah, I
know what the odds are there? Yeah, so like winning
a lottery.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Seventeen percent say they believe their children their child is
destined for sports stardom, and nearly two more than two
thirds are convinced that their kid performs above average despite
the mathematical, to your point impossibility of everyone being above average.
And so they are spending hours every week, hundreds every
(25:56):
year on lessons, on equipment, on all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
What pressure for the poor kids?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
You know.
Speaker 12 (26:04):
I was talking to a woman who's a former olympian
at a cocktail party recently, and she's a you know,
like she works with youth in sports, and she said
the biggest problem in sports is that by third grade,
teachers coaches have identified those kids that seem to have
(26:26):
athletic potential and the other kids are not taught the
joy of movement because it becomes this competitive game of
can I get my kid into the big leagues? What
club sports do they need to be in? How can
we do this? Instead of how can we teach all
of our children to have good sportsmanship and to enjoy
(26:48):
their bodies and moving their bodies and enjoy sports and
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's it's so PE isn't even about physical education. Then
it's just about identifying.
Speaker 12 (26:58):
That No my kids were in elementary school, there was
no PE program. I actually founded with a group of
volunteers and funded by a gym called the Sports Club LA.
They gave thousands of dollars every year for us to
train coaches and volunteers. A lot of their personal trainers
from their clubs would come down and work out with
the kids. So we would put the teachers during one
(27:20):
period a day in conference together so they could work
out their lesson plans, and they were happy for that,
and then we got the kids running around the yard
with brightly colored equipment. So I think that we need
to have more private and corporate involvement in our schools,
but we need to get rid of this idea. I
know people don't like that it's not fair that everybody
(27:41):
gets a trophy, right. I agree, it's not fair that
everybody gets a trophy. Kids need to learn what it
feels like to lose sometimes, But They also need to
learn that sometimes you may not win the game, but
you personally achieved a personal best because you did something.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Oh yeah, and I think that happens to.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Pro sports all the time. You have an outstanding star
and a team that just stinks. Yeah, yeah, happens all
the time. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I Also I'm a little bit concerned with everybody thinking
that their kid is special, Like what what stop character syndrome?
Speaker 9 (28:14):
No, I don't disagree with that, and here's why.
Speaker 12 (28:16):
So the research shows that kids obviously respond best when
they're but kids are kids are smart, right, they know
if you're lying, they know if you're lying.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Right.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
But complimenting them, helping them when they're you know, when
they're achieving stuff is very important. And the general rule
of thumb is three way to goose good jobs for everyone.
Criticism because what vents is parents will over some parents,
and traditionally parents did this. They will over criticize kids,
(28:45):
and then they grow up to have these critical voices
and feel that they're less than and they can't achieve.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Right now, I know when it comes to sports, they
really are less than.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Yeah, but what about just being joyfully wasn't that fun?
How did you do it. I listened to the sports Solar.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
A sports psychologist once said the five words that every
parent should learn to say if they're a sports parent
is this.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Fu ref Oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
No, I enjoyed watching you today. Oh that's all. Kids.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
They want to be seen, they want to have parents.
I enjoyed watching you today. That's all that matters.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
You also wanted to get better.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Now you're talking like a dude.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
No, but you got to coach them up a little bit.
Speaker 12 (29:36):
Well, and you think the way to coach them up
is to say you're bad, you better try harder. No,
and that is kind of a gendered notion.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
No, I have to tell you something.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
I have this theory, right, Okay, So I've worked out
with various personal trainers across in my lifespan, and when
they're a dude, I did notice that they try to
coach and encourage by saying, come on, you can't even
do three more?
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Can you come on?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Walsh?
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Negative?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Right? Right? Yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
However, you have a woman trainer. She's like, you doing
was so great? You're doing so great? Could we try
one more together?
Speaker 5 (30:06):
You got this?
Speaker 12 (30:07):
You really got this. It's all this positivity encouragement. I
work harder for those people than the ones who put
me down. So maybe there's a gender thing. Maybe guys
work harder when they're criticized.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
I don't know, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Just saying, look, if I if I get we gotta
wrap up here, because Ali's gonna kill me if I
go late again. But if if I take my kid
and we go play baseball, and I am excited, I
tell him, I go, I'm so glad I got to
see you play. But then I also want to coach
him up, and I want to go, hey, you did it.
You did a great job. Remember that play when you
you know, when you when you threw the ball pass
(30:39):
first base and it and it hit your coach in
the head and now he's in the hospital. Right.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
I don't think they need to be reminded about that.
They saw it.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
But then we go, we go, I go, I go,
I got a trick for you to try to be
a little more accurate with your throats. Can I do
it that way? Absolutely? Like, hey, you you miss him?
Speaker 9 (30:55):
Teaching technique is different from criticizing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Okay, well all right, that's what I needed to hear.
Speaker 9 (30:59):
Yeah, but remember those words I enjoyed watching you today.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I love that great. And also, you're no Lebron James.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
No, don't say that.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
No, tell him that.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Set expectations early on.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
No, because then they'll have the bar be really low.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You'll be great at math. Doctor Wendy Walsh is up next. Ali.
By the way, Doctor Wendy saved my keyster earlier because
we had an F bomb slipped through on one of
our talkbacks, so he saved all of our jobs, so
we appreciate that.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Brigitta came in and she wowed us with obviously, her
marriage is perfect, her home is perfect, she's great mom.
Not really, but and then Cayla. We found out that
Kayla is hot and a loser. Born in a barn.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
It's been a I don't think she's seen a barn before.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
It's been a tough come on. That's almost more insulted. Kelly,
you've seen a barn before?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
You're okay, that's that's for another show. We're looking forward to,
Doctor Wendy, have a great show. Can't wait. Thank you.
I'm back Tuesday. Chris Merril.
