Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand and.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
My friends, I'm Chris Merril KFI I AM six forty
our talkback tonight. What is a show you would love
to see rebooted after the Warner Brothers deal? I got
a couple that I think are pretty solid choices and
would love to hear yours as well. If you're listening
on the iHeartRadio, I picked that talkback button, let us
know what's the show you'd love to see rebooted on
(00:29):
the new streamer whatever it is, Warner Netflix, Warner Paramount,
whatever that is. You know, the one that always comes
to mind is Scrubs, but they just they just rebooted
that again. And actually after they tried to reboot it,
you know, Scrubs ran for ten seasons. After nine seasons,
it was basically done, and then they rebooted it and
it the tenth season was horrible. It was just, I
(00:52):
mean really bad, really bad. So I was like, Okay,
well we're gonna let that one. We're gonna let that
one go. But now I see they're rebooting that one
again too, So that's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Can I vote for the X Files?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Missed that one.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
How would you reboot that? Would you do it with
same people? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Would you do same people? Or would you have new
people but have them in? And it's like, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I think that's what I do. I think new people
they're a bit older because they.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Have to have a tie back to Mulley and Scold,
scolder and Mulley.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Bolder, older and Scully.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, I mean they could still be in it, but
maybe like the juniors come in and yeah, take over.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, just some way to break us into it, right,
so we come back to something familiar, but then grow
familiarity with the new ones.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
That's thinking.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But I think the smoking Man, he's not around anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Okay, I think I didn't want Did you watch it?
You do?
Speaker 6 (01:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
No, No, I didn't watch it. No, I knew all
about it. It was huge when I was in college. Yeah,
good for you, that's awesome. I stayed away from all
sci fi, and then about ten years ago I was like,
you know, I started getting into some different sci fi.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
There's still some of it. It's just a little too much,
too over the top.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Give me Star Trek, give me Star Wars X files.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I'm done with all those I'm done with all those
fantasy stuff usually not my bag. I did like Game
of Thrones, but I haven't watched any of the spinoffs.
The fantasy stuff just typically is not so good.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Caylie. You are right.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Game of Thrones was so good.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Okay, So have you watched any of the spinoffs.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
The spinoffs have been very disappointing so far. I just
can't get into it. I just I like this reboot question.
But sometimes I think things are better left untouched because
they come back and they ruined it a lot of
the times.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, and there's a lot of value in that brand,
and if you screw it up right.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yeah, looks in the city really disappointing with him just
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, oh me too, Oh yeah that Yeah, I can't.
I couldn't believe what they did.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And they had that that one episode where the guy
did the thing and then the girls were like, can
you believe he did that thing? And then they were like, oh, well,
maybe we should look at it, and then yeah, yeah,
and they all slept together in the Yeah I can't.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
That was like, oh okay, all right, I can't believe that. Yeah, yeah,
all right. So we'll get your thoughts on the talk
back on that one.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I did happen to see this week there's a story
that the La Times had and another study came out.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I don't know who did this.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Global traffic scorecard from Inrix transportation and analytics firm. You
see their name pop up on like live traffic data,
you know. I think, I don't know if Ways is
catching some of their data, but I see it pop
up on some of the maps and things like that. Right,
So Inrix is pretty credible. So they keep pretty close
(03:41):
tabs on what the traffic is doing. And we got
better ish, but it's not it's not enough to make
you feel like, oh great, roads are wide open combo
of remote work and empty buildings downtown means fewer commuters
are causing gridlock. Well that's great. So we went from
the eighth worst city in the world to the tenth
(04:04):
worst city in the world.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Woho.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Average driver in the region spends about eighty seven hours
a year in traffic. That's more than two work weeks
in traffic.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Ooh.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I have this ongoing debate with my wife all the
time about where to live. I go, we gotta live
close to work live. She goes, Oh, it's so expensive.
Whenever you're close to your job, it's so expensive, and
I go doesn't matter. Whatever we got to do. We
got to figure out how to get closer to work,
because I do not. My commute right now is twelve minutes, and.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Twelve minutes during rush hour, and I do get on
some of the surface streets, I get backed up, but only,
you know, only for a short amount of time. So
I guess my drive home is a little bit longer,
like fifteen. I drive in is like twelve surface streets.
The way to go, absolutely the way to go. Compared
to other major cities, LA ranks fourth worst for congestion.
(05:04):
We are behind New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. I would
also say this, and many of you will probably disagree
with me.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh that's fine.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
We're nicer drivers than the people in those towns. There's
just more of us on their own. I mean, congestion
is terrible, but I mean New York, Chicago and Philadelphia,
those are the cities where they just honk at you
non stop.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Just get over yourselves.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh maybe if I honk my horn on the the
traffic will part and I'll be able to cruise across it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So one of the concerns that the city has is
they're going, hey, great, our traffic is getting slightly better.
Last year we spent eighty eight hours in traffic. This
year only eighty seven. But the concern, of course, has
to do with that overall economy. We have people who
are moving out, calax it. We've got people working from home.
(06:02):
That's great, but when people are working from home, they're
not spending their money at the the delis, the beast
Rows and things like that that are nearby. And then
you've got high vacancy rate. Downtown. The vacancy rate is
thirty four percent. That's crazy, thirty four percent, So one
(06:22):
third of the buildings are empty. Wow, that is technically
an improvement from last year, but not great for comparison.
And this is La Times again. For comparison, Century City's
vacancy rate thirteen percent. So you see one area popping
downtown pooping. See what I did there? See what I
(06:49):
did with that? Kayler, Are you taking notes? That's that's
veteran broadcasting, right.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm actually trying to forget that was.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Popping to poop. And you see how I made that.
I used a little bit of literation, a side of
onomnopoia in there.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I perfect.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
A lot of people don't have that kind of skill.
A lot of people work decades just to get to
that point. But that's exactly what it is. That's exactly
what it is, all right. So you got driving in
southern California is frustrating even though we're quote unquote better,
but it doesn't feel that way, and everybody thinks that
the study is full of crap.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I also don't know how it is that we How
are we so bad?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Have you seen shots from like Singapore and India where
it's everybody on motorscrewters crashing into oxen in the middle
of the road. I mean that stuff is wild. I
don't know how that somehow rates better than us, but
I guess it does. So we know driving is frustrating.
There is a hero, however, who's willing to do with
the rest of us, aren't. He's the hero we need,
(07:53):
but not the hero we deserve. This Dark Knight is
making parking personal.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Chris Merrill, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on
demand car talked about question tonight, what is the show
you'd like to see? The new Warner Brothers Netflix or
Warner Brothers Paramount, whatever it is, what would you love
to see rebooted?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Reboots are all the rage. Most of them suck, but
every now and again you get a dandy.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I was.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I pitched this out to Evening anchor Mark Ronner this
week and he said he wanted to see Hannibal rebooted.
I thought that was a good answer, and then he
turned me out to a show that I hadn't seen before,
and he was telling me on Friday night, he said,
you have to watch Warrior. It's on Netflix. I think
it was originally an HBO Max show. So I put
(08:44):
that in my put that in my list. I watched
the first the opening scene, and I thought, this looks good.
And then I went back to trying to catch up
on Stranger Things. But he says Warrior and Hannibal, All right,
what is the what is the show you'd like to
see rebooted?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Hey, Chris, great question. How about we bring back cart
Saturday Morning cartoons. I know, I know only cartoons nowadays
are relatives. Well, how about the Three Stooges. I've always
loved them growing up. God I miss the cartoons though,
like Super choke your chicken in head, I mean super
Chicken and Fred stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh good old everybody's a comedian, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yak yak, yack yack.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I don't think the I don't think the Stooges would
work as a reboot. I think that worked when it
came out in whatever it was, the thirties, forties, whatever
that was.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I don't I don't think you could. I don't think
you could do it.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Today because I think that the special effects would be
lacking and we all go, Okay, that's just it doesn't
have enough homph to it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
But I think he's onto something with the Saturday Morning cartoons.
I've been going down to Scooby Doo and po Pye Wormhole.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Did you just call him pot pie?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Pot pie? This spinach? Yeah, that pot Pie, pe Pye,
whatever his name is. You know, the guy's good.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Shot pot pie and olive oil ye very good, Hey, Chris.
What I would like to see rebooted is Henry Cavell back.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Is a Superman, and I like well to the Justice
League movie from Zack Snyder.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Oh, James Gunn is just you know, taking this in
the wrong direction.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And the New Superman movie was awful. Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, as far as TV shows, I'm not sure, but
definitely that all right, all right? Later later I liked
I liked Henry Cavell as a Superman too, I did.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I liked that.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I like James Gunn's vision better though, so just respectfully disagree.
But no reason you can't say that that's fantastic. All right,
What is it you'd like to see rebooted? If you're
on the app, just at that talk back button, let
us know what is a show you'd love to see rebooted?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I still have.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I will reveal to you my brillilliant ideas. And it
was already shaking her head because she knows it's not
going to be that good.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's just not.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I can guarantee it.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I'm basically known for my wet downs in my notes.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Just a little bit, just a little bit, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
He's not the hero that we deserve, but he's the
hero we need. Molly may not be the Dark Knight,
he may not be Bruce Wayne. He's cone Man, Yes,
(11:38):
cone Man from Kkel.
Speaker 9 (11:40):
Joey Morales, aka the self proclaimed Cone King, is on
patrol tonight in South LA.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Is definitely looked like a city called.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
Looking for the bright orange pylons locals used to try
and save parking spaces so he can grab them and
free up the spot.
Speaker 10 (11:55):
Yes, I started this my early is when I fully
started going in with it, and I want to say
I've at least removed over five thousand cones off of
Los Angeles streets.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
What how many of you are stealing cones to try
to set up a parking spot that isn't yours.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
It's against city code to use anything to block the
street if you don't have a permit to do so.
Residents can call three one one to report it. But
you can imagine how effective that is. It's not so
it has become his unusual hobby as a vigilante parking
enforcement officer to confiscate the cones himself, my hero, stemming
(12:36):
from his own struggles to find street parking and all of.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Our struggles to find street parking.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
People would say it's that it was a Karen move.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It's a Karen move? Is that what he said? I
think it's a Karen move to put the cones out there.
Speaker 10 (12:52):
It is, But I mean, at the end of the day,
you can't take up a public parking spot and assume
that just because it's in front of your house it
belongs to you.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, I wholly agree with him.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's the Karen move in my opinion, moving the cones,
that's not a Karen move.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That's just doing what's right.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Karen's the one that decides the street belongs to her,
and she's also the one's gonna come out and probably
yell at him and be like.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
You don't have any right to touch my cones.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
He records himself taking back the streets, and with more
than twenty thousand social media followers, he's become a robin
Hood of parking, reclaiming open curb space from those he
sees as entitle He even takes requests now to come
to get the cones I have.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
He's like Uber for cone removal, over.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Three thousand messages that I did on a weekly basis. Oh,
just residents here in South Los Angeles that are having
the same issue with everybody.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Wait, why you call it? Just do it yourself. He
should be an inspiration.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Lots of them are ledot or public works property. He
returns those to the city. But as we saw tonight,
not everyone likes what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Okay, I'm sure you're gonna hear from somebody screaming at him.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
How much of our city budget goes to replacing cones
that some d bag steals so that they can go
save a parking spot?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
What is our cone budget?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Hey boss?
Speaker 10 (14:13):
You know it's illegal to place up a cone down
a public street, so it's it's against city Section cold
fifty six point twelve to illegally place cones on a
public street.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Still, Elliott, you can't.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Touch my property that I rightfully stole from the dot
in the first place.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Is cone King is undeterred. He sees it as filling
a need that is only growing.
Speaker 10 (14:38):
I don't show up to an area unless I've been
requested to be in that area. So if I'm showing
up is because multiple people in that area have already
contacted me and the city has done absolutely nothing about it.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
You think this guy's packing, really? I mean that's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You're out there dealing with some unhinged people in the world.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I mean, least guy's gotta have some pepper spray or something.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Right, Well, you could hope so for a safety or
or he could just fight really well, one or the other.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I bet he is nunchucks everybody.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Part of the problem is everybody should have nun chucks, Kayla,
every single.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
One of us.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
South La, where he lives, is a lot of families
moved in together during COVID combined with a continuing lack
of affordable housing. Right, it means a lot of people
with a lot of cars in a condensed space.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, I get it. So what gives you the right
to say that you can take it but the person
next to you can?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
In South La?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I'm Lori Perez Paris drives me nuts. Somebody is somebody?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Is it me? Is it more of me? I don't know?
Where's that? Not co coming from Kila? That's not me?
Is it?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think my computer's glitching?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It is? Oh okay, I got I got you? Uh?
Where was I? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
He's my hero. Hate it when you put cones out.
That is a huge pet peeve. Like people they don't
return their shopping carts to the cart corral. How hard
is that? It's very rude of you not to do that, Like, oh,
but I'm busy. Oh but what if I have to
leave my baby in the car while I walk across
the parking spot?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
No, no, just do it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And the other pet peeve I have when it comes
to parking is the people who park wherever they want,
but then they throw on their emergency flashers like it's
some sort of get out of jail free card. No,
you turned emergency flashers. They're not a secret parking hack.
You don't get to just put your your flashers on.
I learned that one in college.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
People used to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
In college, they park right in front of the dorm
where it was like, this is a fire lane. They go, yeah,
but if I put my emergency flashers on, surely I
won't get towed. So you can imagine my delight when
I used to look out my window and see that
tow truck coming out, and they would.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
The dorm would about once a.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Month us it called like four or five different parking
towing companies and they go get them out of here,
and they all show up at the same time. They
told like six eight cars, just back it right up,
tow it right out of there. But I hit my
flashers on. I hope your battery dies, and I also
(17:20):
hope your cat misses the litterbox. All right, what's the
show you'd like to see the new Warner Brothers slash
Netflix or Warner brother slash Paramount reboot.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
We'll get your ideas. I've got a few of my own.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Those are next Chris Merrill, as well as the Lawmakers,
lawbreakers of the times that there ought to be a law.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand, Chris Merril.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Can I am six forty more stimulating talk and on
demand anytime on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
So we asked the question, what is the show you
would like to see?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So last week when we were talking, it was Netflix
won the big to take Warner Brothers, and then the
next day it was Paramount is attempting a hostile takeover
of Warner Brothers.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
So we still know how this is going to shake out.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Most people in the industry are not happy about.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Any of these options.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think most people in the industry want to see
more studios. The consolidation means fewer jobs, right, that's a concern.
And also consolidation means less competition. With less competition, not
only are their fewer jobs, the quality of the work
or the creatives suffer. At least that's the concern going
into it. The business side is money, So what is
(18:35):
it that you would like to see them reboot? One
is a bankable reboot. Here are my two and I'm
curious if you have any mind Hunter? Did you see
that on Netflix? Mind Hunter was fantastic. It was kind
of the development of the FBI's psychological profiling team, and
(18:57):
nobody believed it at the time. They go, why do
you want to talk to these guys? They're all they're
crazy murderers, you know, you don't want to talk to them.
They go, we got to figure out what.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Makes some tick. And it was so well done, so well.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Done, and it ended after I think there's two seasons
and we all were kind of going, where's the next season?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
And it never happened.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Another one that I think only got I think it
only got two seasons was the Santa Clarita Diet. Did
you see that, Drew Barrymore, Timothy Ola Fan Oh, I
just got the I got the look.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
You didn't like that. I thought that show was so
much fun.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It was not good.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Did you say you don't think people give up?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
No said, I don't even think I was able to
finish it.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh finish it? I thought you said, give it?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Oh no, No, no people give up.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I thought it was so funny. It was kind of
a campy, fun zombie movie.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Maybe I'll give it a rewatch, but at the time
I wasn't filling it.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And Nathan Fillion was in it too. Oh yeah, played
a dismembered head. It was wonderful. It was great. It
was like campy zombie. It was so much fun.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I really enjoyed it. It won't come back.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It is my vibe. It was actually comedy horror done well,
which I told you is so hard to do. So
I was it was. It was right up my alley.
But then I you know, everybody that was involved in
that has moved on and had pretty good careers afterwards.
So I don't see it getting rebooted. But man, would
I love to see that one come back.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
All right, what is it?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
If you're on the iHeartRadio app hit that talk back,
what is it you'd like to see rebooted?
Speaker 11 (20:25):
Chris marril, I absolutely agree with you about California drivers.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
They are the best.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Oh yeah, we were talking about California traffic is supposedly better, but.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
We're better now.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We're the what is it, the fourth worst in Chicago
in the US We've got New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, And
I said, but the problem is those drivers are all rude.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
They're all really rude.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And while we have a ton of congestion and sure
there's road reach here, it's not it's not the angst
kind of driving that I see in other big cities.
Speaker 11 (20:56):
I learned how to drive in California, but when I
moved to Saint Louis, there are cars and beaches. They
go off the highway all the time. They're horrible drivers here.
And they don't call them freeways here. They call them highways. Anyway,
Miss California, Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, we miss you too. Thank you for listening, though,
do appreciate that. All right, what is it you want
to see rebooted?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Okay, I got a great one for you.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
How about a reboot of Lavernon Shirley set in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I'm here for l Vernon Shirley.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I don't know where I sat in the eighties, but
la Vernon Shirley is great, great, great suggestion.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Okay, that surprises me. That would you? Would you just
catch that on Naked Night or something with it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
You watched all those do you think at night?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Are you thinking of the right show?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Away?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Okay, but yeah that's a great show. Great show, good suggestion.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
All right, we'll get to more of your suggestions. Sit
that talk back. Let us know what is the show
you'd like to see rebooted.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
In the meantime, You've got the lawmakers, the lawbreaker of
the times that there ought to be.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
A law gruesome ones this week gruesome.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Let's start with a murder suspect who what are the
politicians like to say?
Speaker 12 (22:17):
We got him, the Lancaster manic he was of stabbing
his wife to death and then fleeing to Peru. Tonight,
investigators tell us Justin mar Cabrera Cornejo is now back
in the United States, taken into custody by the La
County Sheriff's Department at lax Tonight.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Remember this guy, They're gonna describe this.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Videos caught on like a like a ring cam or
you know, something similar to it.
Speaker 12 (22:37):
You may remember this startling surveillance video. Investigators say it
shows Cabrera Cornejo dragging what they believed to be the
body of his wife. The remains of Sheila Gutierres were
later found in the Angelus National Forest wrapped in fabric
similar to what you saw in that surveillance video was a.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Big like Santa bag that was obviously really heavy. He
was kind of spinning around in order to move it,
and they're like, well, his wife was in there, and
then he took off the Peru. Well, Interpol caught up
to him and Carmen San Diego brought him to justice
and so now he's coming back and he's going to
face his crimes.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
In the meantime. Wild stuff happening in Hammett for maybec seven.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
It was more than four months ago that Redlands Police
served a search warrant at an address on Pleasant Street
in hemet the location connected to a religious group known
as His Way spirit Led Assemblies, as part of an
investigation into the disappearance of Emilio Ghanum, who'd recently left
that organization but went missing after meeting up with someone
at a Redlands coffee shop back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Oh there you are today. Oh I got out of
the colt then I thought I'd have a cup of coffee.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
Hey. Two people were arrested at that same hemet location,
forty three year old Rudy Moreno who is now facing
murder charges as well as charges for various weapons violations.
Also arrested someone by the name of Darryl Martin.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Someone by the name I love it when they said
that someone by the name of Daryl Martin.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
How about also arrested Darryl Martin. No, it's someone by
the name.
Speaker 13 (24:09):
Of was also facing murder charges. A Redlands Police spokesperson
saying this about Martin in an interview a few months ago.
Daryl Martin is the pastor and Kat Martin is his wife, is.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Known as the prophetess.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
This is video all the organization's YouTube page of one
of Catherine Martin's sermons from several years ago. Besides the
missing person, Emilia o' ganem, another member of the organization
was reported missing in Claremont back in twenty nineteen, and
in Colton, a four year old boy, no it was
in the custody of owners of that religious organization, was
(24:49):
found dead from come.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
On, now, we got dead kids in this too. I
don't like the dead kids.
Speaker 13 (24:58):
Dalton police saying they originally involuntary manslaughter charges against two
people for child neglect for failing to seek medical attention,
but the DA's office did not file charges because of
insufficient evidence. Those two people, Catherine Martin, known as the Prophetess,
and her husband Daryl Martin, a guy by.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
The name of Darryl Martin.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I always get I always feel bad about this whole
cult thing because it's really easy from the outside looking
into wonder how people get wrapped up in it.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
But I've seen the documentaries on it. I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I guess you just kind of go down the rabbit
hole and all of a sudden, the next thing you know, you're,
you know, sacrificing children or something.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I don't know what it is. It's a I don't
get it, man, I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I hope to God nobody in my family ever falls
Preto's koops. I think we all do, all right. One
of the dirtiest places on Earth suddenly looks like a
watery oasis straight out of pre history. It's a forgotten
world that hasn't been seen by human eyes and tens
of thous of years until now. Where you can see
it is next Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
We asked the question, what's the show you'd like to see?
The new Warner Brothers Netflix or Warner Brothers Paramount Reboot.
We got your answers queued up here from the talkback,
and you'ren't always hit us up on that talk back
if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. Before we get
to that, though, I did want to bring this up.
It's like we're taking a trip back to the prehistoric days.
(26:40):
It's a lake that existed more than one hundred and
thirty thousand years ago, when the ice covered.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
The Sierra Nevada.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The lake was one hundred miles long six hundred feet deep,
But today it is the Mohave Desert that from La times.
What I'm interested in, though, is that what is known
as Lake Manly has made a return. Basically because we
had a ton of rainfall September through November. It has
(27:13):
brought the lake back. You might imagine it's not in
fact six hundred feet deep any longer.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
It's more like one feet deep. But by God, the
lake is there.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So if you are looking for a little you know, getaway,
you can's about the Death Valley and go see this
Lake Manly. Otherwise, when else do you go to Death Valley?
If you're one of the weirdos. You go out there
when it's like, oh, Death Valley could hit one hundred
and thirty degrees, they go, oh, I got to go
be a part of this. Whoa man, I haven't nearly
(27:50):
died of heat exhaustion in a while. It's good at
Death Valley everybody. But now you can actually go and
taking a lake that wasn't there. It did show up
briefly after Hurricane Hill in twenty twenty three, and then
it receded in February twenty twenty four. They said the
deepest then was three feet, so they said today it's
not even close to that. So anyway, but it's there,
(28:13):
one giant mud puddle, and you know what, just for giggles,
take a kayak, because why not?
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Why not if you're going just go take a kayak?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Just imagine that one hundred and fifty thousand years ago
or fish in there.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I'm guessing I don't know. I wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Hey, Chris Love, Oh, this is from Talkbacks. What's the
show you'd like to see rebooted?
Speaker 8 (28:37):
Hey, Chris Love the show it's always entertaining. Two shows
I'd love to see rebooted, but probably would be poorly done.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
The Twilight Zone.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
I just don't think we have the writers capable to
make that kind of masterpiece again. And also I think
Three's company would be kind of cool to rein keep
up the great work.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
All Right, I'm a knock on a door.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Didn't Jordan Poole reb with the Twilight Zone children?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Peel?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, Peel, I'm sorry, Jordan Pool was. Yeah, he's a
different guy, Jordan Peel did.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah. I thought he did a good job on that.
I liked what I saw of it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'd like to see it come back. Do a little
bit more. Let's see a little bit more, Jordan Peel,
Let's do.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
A little more.
Speaker 14 (29:19):
Chris Merrill's show is absolutely huh horrific.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Horrific.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
Makes sense. They are barely paying him a living wage,
while ratings be damned. He marches on, Yes, Chris, how
are you living out there?
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Are you okay?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
You're supposed to read those out so I never have
to hear them.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I literally tried. You don't listen to me.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
No, I got this one earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Here, you, sir, are an idiot.
Speaker 15 (29:52):
Get off the radio.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I love those two.
Speaker 16 (29:56):
I want to tell you that I think you are
the most amazing host. You are one of my days,
and whenever I hear that you are going to be
on the show, I get very happy next my day.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You're a great guy. You'll never doubt yourself.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Thank you. You hear that, Kala, she sounds hot too.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
She sounds super hot, and she sounds perfect for the
holiday season.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
That's the spirit right there.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I like her.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
That's very good.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
While I'm crying in my cheerios, all right, what's what's
the show you'd like to see rebooted? After we have
the new Warner Brothers Netflix or Warner Brothers Paramount or
who knows? Are we even sure somebody else is going
to try to swoop in and do a different hostile
takeover on this?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I mean, this is far from settled.
Speaker 15 (30:42):
Right, remake of You Turn. Jennifer Lopez is still hot.
She could play that big time, no problem that. Bob
Thornton wouldn't have to change a thing. He could be
the slob in the garage, the car garage. I don't
know about Sean Penn be driving an electric car from
his twenty million dollar mansion telling us all to drive
(31:06):
our electric cars or ride bikes.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
So we'll see. But you turn, you turn? Did you
see I never saw that? Did you see your turn?
Speaker 11 (31:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But Jennifer Lopez is still pretty.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Hot, so yeah, she's right.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Come back and do it.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
He's right, He is right.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
When you're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, you're on to that one. All right, there is
a foot. We'll get more of your talkbacks on that.
What is the show you'd like to see rebooted after
the deal is done? If you're on the iHeartRadio, I
picked that talkback button and let us know really good
suggestions so far. I got a few more here. Q up,
you're gonna hear from those you want to hear. Yours
are as well.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand and.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
My friends, I'm Chris Merril KFI I AM six forty
our talkback tonight. What is a show you would love
to see rebooted after the Warner Brothers deal? I got
a couple that I think are pretty solid choices and
would love to hear yours as well. If you're listening
on the iHeartRadio, I picked that talkback button, let us
know what's the show you'd love to see rebooted on
(00:29):
the new streamer whatever it is, Warner Netflix, Warner Paramount,
whatever that is. You know, the one that always comes
to mind is Scrubs, but they just they just rebooted
that again. And actually after they tried to reboot it,
you know, Scrubs ran for ten seasons. After nine seasons,
it was basically done, and then they rebooted it and
it the tenth season was horrible. It was just, I
(00:52):
mean really bad, really bad. So I was like, Okay,
well we're gonna let that one. We're gonna let that
one go. But now I see they're rebooting that one
again too, So that's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Can I vote for the X Files?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Missed that one.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
How would you reboot that? Would you do it with
same people? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Would you do same people? Or would you have new
people but have them in? And it's like, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I think that's what I do. I think new people
they're a bit older because they.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Have to have a tie back to Mulley and Scold,
scolder and Mulley.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Bolder, older and Scully.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, I mean they could still be in it, but
maybe like the juniors come in and yeah, take over.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, just some way to break us into it, right,
so we come back to something familiar, but then grow
familiarity with the new ones.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
That's thinking.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But I think the smoking Man, he's not around anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Okay, I think I didn't want Did you watch it?
You do?
Speaker 6 (01:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
No, No, I didn't watch it. No, I knew all
about it. It was huge when I was in college. Yeah,
good for you, that's awesome. I stayed away from all
sci fi, and then about ten years ago I was like,
you know, I started getting into some different sci fi.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
There's still some of it. It's just a little too much,
too over the top.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Give me Star Trek, give me Star Wars X files.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I'm done with all those I'm done with all those
fantasy stuff usually not my bag. I did like Game
of Thrones, but I haven't watched any of the spinoffs.
The fantasy stuff just typically is not so good.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Caylie. You are right.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Game of Thrones was so good.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Okay, So have you watched any of the spinoffs.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
The spinoffs have been very disappointing so far. I just
can't get into it. I just I like this reboot question.
But sometimes I think things are better left untouched because
they come back and they ruined it a lot of
the times.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, and there's a lot of value in that brand,
and if you screw it up right.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yeah, looks in the city really disappointing with him just
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, oh me too, Oh yeah that Yeah, I can't.
I couldn't believe what they did.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And they had that that one episode where the guy
did the thing and then the girls were like, can
you believe he did that thing? And then they were like, oh, well,
maybe we should look at it, and then yeah, yeah,
and they all slept together in the Yeah I can't.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
That was like, oh okay, all right, I can't believe that. Yeah, yeah,
all right. So we'll get your thoughts on the talk
back on that one.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I did happen to see this week there's a story
that the La Times had and another study came out.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I don't know who did this.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Global traffic scorecard from Inrix transportation and analytics firm. You
see their name pop up on like live traffic data,
you know. I think, I don't know if Ways is
catching some of their data, but I see it pop
up on some of the maps and things like that. Right,
So Inrix is pretty credible. So they keep pretty close
(03:41):
tabs on what the traffic is doing. And we got
better ish, but it's not it's not enough to make
you feel like, oh great, roads are wide open combo
of remote work and empty buildings downtown means fewer commuters
are causing gridlock. Well that's great. So we went from
the eighth worst city in the world to the tenth
(04:04):
worst city in the world.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Woho.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Average driver in the region spends about eighty seven hours
a year in traffic. That's more than two work weeks
in traffic.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Ooh.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I have this ongoing debate with my wife all the
time about where to live. I go, we gotta live
close to work live. She goes, Oh, it's so expensive.
Whenever you're close to your job, it's so expensive, and
I go doesn't matter. Whatever we got to do. We
got to figure out how to get closer to work,
because I do not. My commute right now is twelve minutes, and.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Twelve minutes during rush hour, and I do get on
some of the surface streets, I get backed up, but only,
you know, only for a short amount of time. So
I guess my drive home is a little bit longer,
like fifteen. I drive in is like twelve surface streets.
The way to go, absolutely the way to go. Compared
to other major cities, LA ranks fourth worst for congestion.
(05:04):
We are behind New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. I would
also say this, and many of you will probably disagree
with me.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh that's fine.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
We're nicer drivers than the people in those towns. There's
just more of us on their own. I mean, congestion
is terrible, but I mean New York, Chicago and Philadelphia,
those are the cities where they just honk at you
non stop.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Just get over yourselves.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh maybe if I honk my horn on the the
traffic will part and I'll be able to cruise across it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So one of the concerns that the city has is
they're going, hey, great, our traffic is getting slightly better.
Last year we spent eighty eight hours in traffic. This
year only eighty seven. But the concern, of course, has
to do with that overall economy. We have people who
are moving out, calax it. We've got people working from home.
(06:02):
That's great, but when people are working from home, they're
not spending their money at the the delis, the beast
Rows and things like that that are nearby. And then
you've got high vacancy rate. Downtown. The vacancy rate is
thirty four percent. That's crazy, thirty four percent, So one
(06:22):
third of the buildings are empty. Wow, that is technically
an improvement from last year, but not great for comparison.
And this is La Times again. For comparison, Century City's
vacancy rate thirteen percent. So you see one area popping
downtown pooping. See what I did there? See what I
(06:49):
did with that? Kayler, Are you taking notes? That's that's
veteran broadcasting, right.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm actually trying to forget that was.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Popping to poop. And you see how I made that.
I used a little bit of literation, a side of
onomnopoia in there.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I perfect.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
A lot of people don't have that kind of skill.
A lot of people work decades just to get to
that point. But that's exactly what it is. That's exactly
what it is, all right. So you got driving in
southern California is frustrating even though we're quote unquote better,
but it doesn't feel that way, and everybody thinks that
the study is full of crap.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I also don't know how it is that we How
are we so bad?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Have you seen shots from like Singapore and India where
it's everybody on motorscrewters crashing into oxen in the middle
of the road. I mean that stuff is wild. I
don't know how that somehow rates better than us, but
I guess it does. So we know driving is frustrating.
There is a hero, however, who's willing to do with
the rest of us, aren't. He's the hero we need,
(07:53):
but not the hero we deserve. This Dark Knight is
making parking personal.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Chris Merrill, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on
demand car talked about question tonight, what is the show
you'd like to see? The new Warner Brothers Netflix or
Warner Brothers Paramount, whatever it is, what would you love
to see rebooted?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Reboots are all the rage. Most of them suck, but
every now and again you get a dandy.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I was.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I pitched this out to Evening anchor Mark Ronner this
week and he said he wanted to see Hannibal rebooted.
I thought that was a good answer, and then he
turned me out to a show that I hadn't seen before,
and he was telling me on Friday night, he said,
you have to watch Warrior. It's on Netflix. I think
it was originally an HBO Max show. So I put
(08:44):
that in my put that in my list. I watched
the first the opening scene, and I thought, this looks good.
And then I went back to trying to catch up
on Stranger Things. But he says Warrior and Hannibal, All right,
what is the what is the show you'd like to
see rebooted?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Hey, Chris, great question. How about we bring back cart
Saturday Morning cartoons. I know, I know only cartoons nowadays
are relatives. Well, how about the Three Stooges. I've always
loved them growing up. God I miss the cartoons though,
like Super choke your chicken in head, I mean super
Chicken and Fred stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh good old everybody's a comedian, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yak yak, yack yack.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I don't think the I don't think the Stooges would
work as a reboot. I think that worked when it
came out in whatever it was, the thirties, forties, whatever
that was.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I don't I don't think you could. I don't think
you could do it.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Today because I think that the special effects would be
lacking and we all go, Okay, that's just it doesn't
have enough homph to it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
But I think he's onto something with the Saturday Morning cartoons.
I've been going down to Scooby Doo and po Pye Wormhole.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Did you just call him pot pie?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Pot pie? This spinach? Yeah, that pot Pie, pe Pye,
whatever his name is. You know, the guy's good.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Shot pot pie and olive oil ye very good, Hey, Chris.
What I would like to see rebooted is Henry Cavell back.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Is a Superman, and I like well to the Justice
League movie from Zack Snyder.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Oh, James Gunn is just you know, taking this in
the wrong direction.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And the New Superman movie was awful. Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, as far as TV shows, I'm not sure, but
definitely that all right, all right? Later later I liked
I liked Henry Cavell as a Superman too, I did.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I liked that.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I like James Gunn's vision better though, so just respectfully disagree.
But no reason you can't say that that's fantastic. All right,
What is it you'd like to see rebooted? If you're
on the app, just at that talk back button, let
us know what is a show you'd love to see rebooted?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I still have.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I will reveal to you my brillilliant ideas. And it
was already shaking her head because she knows it's not
going to be that good.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's just not.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I can guarantee it.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I'm basically known for my wet downs in my notes.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Just a little bit, just a little bit, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
He's not the hero that we deserve, but he's the
hero we need. Molly may not be the Dark Knight,
he may not be Bruce Wayne. He's cone Man, Yes,
(11:38):
cone Man from Kkel.
Speaker 9 (11:40):
Joey Morales, aka the self proclaimed Cone King, is on
patrol tonight in South LA.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Is definitely looked like a city called.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
Looking for the bright orange pylons locals used to try
and save parking spaces so he can grab them and
free up the spot.
Speaker 10 (11:55):
Yes, I started this my early is when I fully
started going in with it, and I want to say
I've at least removed over five thousand cones off of
Los Angeles streets.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
What how many of you are stealing cones to try
to set up a parking spot that isn't yours.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
It's against city code to use anything to block the
street if you don't have a permit to do so.
Residents can call three one one to report it. But
you can imagine how effective that is. It's not so
it has become his unusual hobby as a vigilante parking
enforcement officer to confiscate the cones himself, my hero, stemming
(12:36):
from his own struggles to find street parking and all of.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Our struggles to find street parking.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
People would say it's that it was a Karen move.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It's a Karen move? Is that what he said? I
think it's a Karen move to put the cones out there.
Speaker 10 (12:52):
It is, But I mean, at the end of the day,
you can't take up a public parking spot and assume
that just because it's in front of your house it
belongs to you.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, I wholly agree with him.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's the Karen move in my opinion, moving the cones,
that's not a Karen move.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That's just doing what's right.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Karen's the one that decides the street belongs to her,
and she's also the one's gonna come out and probably
yell at him and be like.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
You don't have any right to touch my cones.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
He records himself taking back the streets, and with more
than twenty thousand social media followers, he's become a robin
Hood of parking, reclaiming open curb space from those he
sees as entitle He even takes requests now to come
to get the cones I have.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
He's like Uber for cone removal, over.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Three thousand messages that I did on a weekly basis. Oh,
just residents here in South Los Angeles that are having
the same issue with everybody.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Wait, why you call it? Just do it yourself. He
should be an inspiration.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Lots of them are ledot or public works property. He
returns those to the city. But as we saw tonight,
not everyone likes what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Okay, I'm sure you're gonna hear from somebody screaming at him.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
How much of our city budget goes to replacing cones
that some d bag steals so that they can go
save a parking spot?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
What is our cone budget?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Hey boss?
Speaker 10 (14:13):
You know it's illegal to place up a cone down
a public street, so it's it's against city Section cold
fifty six point twelve to illegally place cones on a
public street.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Still, Elliott, you can't.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Touch my property that I rightfully stole from the dot
in the first place.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Is cone King is undeterred. He sees it as filling
a need that is only growing.
Speaker 10 (14:38):
I don't show up to an area unless I've been
requested to be in that area. So if I'm showing
up is because multiple people in that area have already
contacted me and the city has done absolutely nothing about it.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
You think this guy's packing, really? I mean that's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You're out there dealing with some unhinged people in the world.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I mean, least guy's gotta have some pepper spray or something.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Right, Well, you could hope so for a safety or
or he could just fight really well, one or the other.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I bet he is nunchucks everybody.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Part of the problem is everybody should have nun chucks, Kayla,
every single.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
One of us.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
South La, where he lives, is a lot of families
moved in together during COVID combined with a continuing lack
of affordable housing. Right, it means a lot of people
with a lot of cars in a condensed space.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, I get it. So what gives you the right
to say that you can take it but the person
next to you can?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
In South La?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I'm Lori Perez Paris drives me nuts. Somebody is somebody?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Is it me? Is it more of me? I don't know?
Where's that? Not co coming from Kila? That's not me?
Is it?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think my computer's glitching?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It is? Oh okay, I got I got you? Uh?
Where was I? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
He's my hero. Hate it when you put cones out.
That is a huge pet peeve. Like people they don't
return their shopping carts to the cart corral. How hard
is that? It's very rude of you not to do that, Like, oh,
but I'm busy. Oh but what if I have to
leave my baby in the car while I walk across
the parking spot?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
No, no, just do it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And the other pet peeve I have when it comes
to parking is the people who park wherever they want,
but then they throw on their emergency flashers like it's
some sort of get out of jail free card. No,
you turned emergency flashers. They're not a secret parking hack.
You don't get to just put your your flashers on.
I learned that one in college.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
People used to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
In college, they park right in front of the dorm
where it was like, this is a fire lane. They go, yeah,
but if I put my emergency flashers on, surely I
won't get towed. So you can imagine my delight when
I used to look out my window and see that
tow truck coming out, and they would.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
The dorm would about once a.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Month us it called like four or five different parking
towing companies and they go get them out of here,
and they all show up at the same time. They
told like six eight cars, just back it right up,
tow it right out of there. But I hit my
flashers on. I hope your battery dies, and I also
(17:20):
hope your cat misses the litterbox. All right, what's the
show you'd like to see the new Warner Brothers slash
Netflix or Warner brother slash Paramount reboot.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
We'll get your ideas. I've got a few of my own.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Those are next Chris Merrill, as well as the Lawmakers,
lawbreakers of the times that there ought to be a law.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand, Chris Merril.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Can I am six forty more stimulating talk and on
demand anytime on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
So we asked the question, what is the show you
would like to see?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So last week when we were talking, it was Netflix
won the big to take Warner Brothers, and then the
next day it was Paramount is attempting a hostile takeover
of Warner Brothers.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
So we still know how this is going to shake out.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Most people in the industry are not happy about.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Any of these options.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think most people in the industry want to see
more studios. The consolidation means fewer jobs, right, that's a concern.
And also consolidation means less competition. With less competition, not
only are their fewer jobs, the quality of the work
or the creatives suffer. At least that's the concern going
into it. The business side is money, So what is
(18:35):
it that you would like to see them reboot? One
is a bankable reboot. Here are my two and I'm
curious if you have any mind Hunter? Did you see
that on Netflix? Mind Hunter was fantastic. It was kind
of the development of the FBI's psychological profiling team, and
(18:57):
nobody believed it at the time. They go, why do
you want to talk to these guys? They're all they're
crazy murderers, you know, you don't want to talk to them.
They go, we got to figure out what.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Makes some tick. And it was so well done, so well.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Done, and it ended after I think there's two seasons
and we all were kind of going, where's the next season?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
And it never happened.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Another one that I think only got I think it
only got two seasons was the Santa Clarita Diet. Did
you see that, Drew Barrymore, Timothy Ola Fan Oh, I
just got the I got the look.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
You didn't like that. I thought that show was so
much fun.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It was not good.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Did you say you don't think people give up?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
No said, I don't even think I was able to
finish it.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh finish it? I thought you said, give it?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Oh no, No, no people give up.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I thought it was so funny. It was kind of
a campy, fun zombie movie.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Maybe I'll give it a rewatch, but at the time
I wasn't filling it.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And Nathan Fillion was in it too. Oh yeah, played
a dismembered head. It was wonderful. It was great. It
was like campy zombie. It was so much fun.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I really enjoyed it. It won't come back.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It is my vibe. It was actually comedy horror done well,
which I told you is so hard to do. So
I was it was. It was right up my alley.
But then I you know, everybody that was involved in
that has moved on and had pretty good careers afterwards.
So I don't see it getting rebooted. But man, would
I love to see that one come back.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
All right, what is it?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
If you're on the iHeartRadio app hit that talk back,
what is it you'd like to see rebooted?
Speaker 11 (20:25):
Chris marril, I absolutely agree with you about California drivers.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
They are the best.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Oh yeah, we were talking about California traffic is supposedly better, but.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
We're better now.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We're the what is it, the fourth worst in Chicago
in the US We've got New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, And
I said, but the problem is those drivers are all rude.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
They're all really rude.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And while we have a ton of congestion and sure
there's road reach here, it's not it's not the angst
kind of driving that I see in other big cities.
Speaker 11 (20:56):
I learned how to drive in California, but when I
moved to Saint Louis, there are cars and beaches. They
go off the highway all the time. They're horrible drivers here.
And they don't call them freeways here. They call them highways. Anyway,
Miss California, Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, we miss you too. Thank you for listening, though,
do appreciate that. All right, what is it you want
to see rebooted?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Okay, I got a great one for you.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
How about a reboot of Lavernon Shirley set in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I'm here for l Vernon Shirley.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I don't know where I sat in the eighties, but
la Vernon Shirley is great, great, great suggestion.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Okay, that surprises me. That would you? Would you just
catch that on Naked Night or something with it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
You watched all those do you think at night?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Are you thinking of the right show?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Away?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Okay, but yeah that's a great show. Great show, good suggestion.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
All right, we'll get to more of your suggestions. Sit
that talk back. Let us know what is the show
you'd like to see rebooted.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
In the meantime, You've got the lawmakers, the lawbreaker of
the times that there ought to be.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
A law gruesome ones this week gruesome.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Let's start with a murder suspect who what are the
politicians like to say?
Speaker 12 (22:17):
We got him, the Lancaster manic he was of stabbing
his wife to death and then fleeing to Peru. Tonight,
investigators tell us Justin mar Cabrera Cornejo is now back
in the United States, taken into custody by the La
County Sheriff's Department at lax Tonight.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Remember this guy, They're gonna describe this.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Videos caught on like a like a ring cam or
you know, something similar to it.
Speaker 12 (22:37):
You may remember this startling surveillance video. Investigators say it
shows Cabrera Cornejo dragging what they believed to be the
body of his wife. The remains of Sheila Gutierres were
later found in the Angelus National Forest wrapped in fabric
similar to what you saw in that surveillance video was a.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Big like Santa bag that was obviously really heavy. He
was kind of spinning around in order to move it,
and they're like, well, his wife was in there, and
then he took off the Peru. Well, Interpol caught up
to him and Carmen San Diego brought him to justice
and so now he's coming back and he's going to
face his crimes.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
In the meantime. Wild stuff happening in Hammett for maybec seven.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
It was more than four months ago that Redlands Police
served a search warrant at an address on Pleasant Street
in hemet the location connected to a religious group known
as His Way spirit Led Assemblies, as part of an
investigation into the disappearance of Emilio Ghanum, who'd recently left
that organization but went missing after meeting up with someone
at a Redlands coffee shop back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Oh there you are today. Oh I got out of
the colt then I thought I'd have a cup of coffee.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
Hey. Two people were arrested at that same hemet location,
forty three year old Rudy Moreno who is now facing
murder charges as well as charges for various weapons violations.
Also arrested someone by the name of Darryl Martin.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Someone by the name I love it when they said
that someone by the name of Daryl Martin.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
How about also arrested Darryl Martin. No, it's someone by
the name.
Speaker 13 (24:09):
Of was also facing murder charges. A Redlands Police spokesperson
saying this about Martin in an interview a few months ago.
Daryl Martin is the pastor and Kat Martin is his wife, is.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Known as the prophetess.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
This is video all the organization's YouTube page of one
of Catherine Martin's sermons from several years ago. Besides the
missing person, Emilia o' ganem, another member of the organization
was reported missing in Claremont back in twenty nineteen, and
in Colton, a four year old boy, no it was
in the custody of owners of that religious organization, was
(24:49):
found dead from come.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
On, now, we got dead kids in this too. I
don't like the dead kids.
Speaker 13 (24:58):
Dalton police saying they originally involuntary manslaughter charges against two
people for child neglect for failing to seek medical attention,
but the DA's office did not file charges because of
insufficient evidence. Those two people, Catherine Martin, known as the Prophetess,
and her husband Daryl Martin, a guy by.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
The name of Darryl Martin.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I always get I always feel bad about this whole
cult thing because it's really easy from the outside looking
into wonder how people get wrapped up in it.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
But I've seen the documentaries on it. I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I guess you just kind of go down the rabbit
hole and all of a sudden, the next thing you know, you're,
you know, sacrificing children or something.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I don't know what it is. It's a I don't
get it, man, I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I hope to God nobody in my family ever falls
Preto's koops. I think we all do, all right. One
of the dirtiest places on Earth suddenly looks like a
watery oasis straight out of pre history. It's a forgotten
world that hasn't been seen by human eyes and tens
of thous of years until now. Where you can see
it is next Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
We asked the question, what's the show you'd like to see?
The new Warner Brothers Netflix or Warner Brothers Paramount Reboot.
We got your answers queued up here from the talkback,
and you'ren't always hit us up on that talk back
if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. Before we get
to that, though, I did want to bring this up.
It's like we're taking a trip back to the prehistoric days.
(26:40):
It's a lake that existed more than one hundred and
thirty thousand years ago, when the ice covered.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
The Sierra Nevada.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The lake was one hundred miles long six hundred feet deep,
But today it is the Mohave Desert that from La times.
What I'm interested in, though, is that what is known
as Lake Manly has made a return. Basically because we
had a ton of rainfall September through November. It has
(27:13):
brought the lake back. You might imagine it's not in
fact six hundred feet deep any longer.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
It's more like one feet deep. But by God, the
lake is there.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So if you are looking for a little you know, getaway,
you can's about the Death Valley and go see this
Lake Manly. Otherwise, when else do you go to Death Valley?
If you're one of the weirdos. You go out there
when it's like, oh, Death Valley could hit one hundred
and thirty degrees, they go, oh, I got to go
be a part of this. Whoa man, I haven't nearly
(27:50):
died of heat exhaustion in a while. It's good at
Death Valley everybody. But now you can actually go and
taking a lake that wasn't there. It did show up
briefly after Hurricane Hill in twenty twenty three, and then
it receded in February twenty twenty four. They said the
deepest then was three feet, so they said today it's
not even close to that. So anyway, but it's there,
(28:13):
one giant mud puddle, and you know what, just for giggles,
take a kayak, because why not?
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Why not if you're going just go take a kayak?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Just imagine that one hundred and fifty thousand years ago
or fish in there.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I'm guessing I don't know. I wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Hey, Chris Love, Oh, this is from Talkbacks. What's the
show you'd like to see rebooted?
Speaker 8 (28:37):
Hey, Chris Love the show it's always entertaining. Two shows
I'd love to see rebooted, but probably would be poorly done.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
The Twilight Zone.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
I just don't think we have the writers capable to
make that kind of masterpiece again. And also I think
Three's company would be kind of cool to rein keep
up the great work.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
All Right, I'm a knock on a door.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Didn't Jordan Poole reb with the Twilight Zone children?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Peel?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, Peel, I'm sorry, Jordan Pool was. Yeah, he's a
different guy, Jordan Peel did.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah. I thought he did a good job on that.
I liked what I saw of it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'd like to see it come back. Do a little
bit more. Let's see a little bit more, Jordan Peel,
Let's do.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
A little more.
Speaker 14 (29:19):
Chris Merrill's show is absolutely huh horrific.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Horrific.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
Makes sense. They are barely paying him a living wage,
while ratings be damned. He marches on, Yes, Chris, how
are you living out there?
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Are you okay?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
You're supposed to read those out so I never have
to hear them.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I literally tried. You don't listen to me.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
No, I got this one earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Here, you, sir, are an idiot.
Speaker 15 (29:52):
Get off the radio.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I love those two.
Speaker 16 (29:56):
I want to tell you that I think you are
the most amazing host. You are one of my days,
and whenever I hear that you are going to be
on the show, I get very happy next my day.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You're a great guy. You'll never doubt yourself.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Thank you. You hear that, Kala, she sounds hot too.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
She sounds super hot, and she sounds perfect for the
holiday season.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
That's the spirit right there.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I like her.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
That's very good.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
While I'm crying in my cheerios, all right, what's what's
the show you'd like to see rebooted? After we have
the new Warner Brothers Netflix or Warner Brothers Paramount or
who knows? Are we even sure somebody else is going
to try to swoop in and do a different hostile
takeover on this?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I mean, this is far from settled.
Speaker 15 (30:42):
Right, remake of You Turn. Jennifer Lopez is still hot.
She could play that big time, no problem that. Bob
Thornton wouldn't have to change a thing. He could be
the slob in the garage, the car garage. I don't
know about Sean Penn be driving an electric car from
his twenty million dollar mansion telling us all to drive
(31:06):
our electric cars or ride bikes.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
So we'll see. But you turn, you turn? Did you
see I never saw that? Did you see your turn?
Speaker 11 (31:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But Jennifer Lopez is still pretty.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Hot, so yeah, she's right.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Come back and do it.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
He's right, He is right.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
When you're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, you're on to that one. All right, there is
a foot. We'll get more of your talkbacks on that.
What is the show you'd like to see rebooted after
the deal is done? If you're on the iHeartRadio, I
picked that talkback button and let us know really good
suggestions so far. I got a few more here. Q up,
you're gonna hear from those you want to hear. Yours
are as well.
