Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
He I'm Chris Merrill.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I am six forty more stimulating talk on demand anytime
in the iHeartRadio app. And there's no business like show business.
Oh thank god she's there sometimes wonderful.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, I like it. I like it. Good news. You
should be binging more.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
According to a new study, binge watching your favorite show
can be good for you.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
And I know what you're thinking. Wait a minute, Meryl.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
When I was growing up, my parents always told me
that watching too much TV would make me into a zombie.
They're not wrong, but you're gonna do it anyway. So
here's the upside of this. And the next time somebody
tells you watch too much TV, tell them no, I'm reflecting.
I'm using retrospective, imaginative involvement. It allows me to cope
with stress and supports my well being. According to new studies,

(01:02):
that's indeed the case. People who binge watch or read
reading would probably be better for you in long sessions are
more likely to keep thinking about those stories later, and
their stories can lead to simple recall.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
They say.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Appreciated thought provoking stories inspire creative elaboration shows Yeah, anyway,
it's good for you. I was cutting through that paragraph.
Here's the trouble. If you're watching crap TV, it's just
it's not so great for you. But you're gonna have
to watch some decent stuff, something that's got some depth

(01:36):
to it. But even some shows that are i'd call
them veggie watches like I watch and I just vege
like Friends. They say watching Friends during a stressful work
day could have could have helped you bring your stress
levels down. It sparks ongoing mental engagement.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
So then yeah, well Sam is a clinical psychologist.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Is that the right term? Therapist? Yes, clitical therapist. Well,
I'm Sam.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
I have my master's in clinical psychology, specializing a.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Marriage and family therapy. Yeah, okay, so this is good.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Let me ask you from a from a from a
relationship standpoint, because this is my favorite. If my wife
and I are in a fight, can I just can
we not talk about the fight? Can we put something
on TV? You know, just turn on Netflix or whatever,
and as long as it's something we can both watch.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Will that bring the temperature down? Yes? Does that help
us lower levels? It can.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
At the same time, you better not just let that
you know, be swept under the rug unless you want
that thing coming out and jumping up and biting you
on the butt. Again, that's a discussion that needs to
be had once you guys have calmed down. Too many
times people have like arguments come because we're already heated
going into discussions, and sometimes you have like things that
need to be discussed. It's really nice when you can

(02:59):
actually be mellow and not be heated, because usually whenever
we're upset and we have like a fight or like
some kind of you know, heavy discussion going on and
we're already upset, then we're gonna start looking for other
things to get upset about. We'll bring old stuff in
and we start dragging other things into it. Well, I
only did this because you did this ten years ago.
And sometimes in those situations we need to cool down

(03:22):
the temperature, give each other a little bit of a
time out, maybe watch a show together, and then come
back and be like, Okay, can we talk about that
now now that we're not pissed.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
What if I would just like to avoid.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It, then.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
You better have be prepared to have some reruns on
that argument.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
We're gonna reruns on every argument anyway.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Maybe that's because you haven't actually solved any of them.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
You're like, well, you're gonna bring things up from ten
years ago. She didna bring things up from ten years
ago anyway. And let me tell you, I got a
few I got a few arrows in my quiver. She's
got a few quivers in her I don't know what
you keep quivers in.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
She's got arrows.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
She got quivers full of arrows, and she's got a
trunk full of quivers.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Does that make sense? Anyway? I screwed up a.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Lot, and she likes to bring them all up. She's like,
let's see what thing from our past that you did
wrong should I bring up in this argument?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well, you can give it air say yeah, you're right,
that's something we should discuss.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
But we're crossing streams. Now.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
This is something else that we need to talk about
this first, and I think we should devote the time
that is, like that other thing requires and deserves actual
time and to actually have that discussion. You know what,
that is a valid point. Let's wait on that because
I want to address this first, and then we'll get
to that. That's the problem is a lot of times
we start crossing streams with other things that have happened

(04:45):
in the past, and then the original argument, the thing
that needed to be addressed in that moment, got completely
blown up. Why do we bring up other things from
the past because we don't want to, because.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
We we's say again, I'm sorry, don't want to be wrong,
so right, and I can't wrong wrong in the immediate
and like our my perspective was often I'm oh, yeah,
well you did this before and it's the only reason.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Why I'm wrong now.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, so if I call her out on that, then
I'm wrong for calling her out on that. When I go, hey, look,
you're bringing this up now because you're wrong, and I
get that my wife hates I arguing.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well, no, I might have to talk. I know why
you're trying to distract us. Just say, oh, you're.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Wait on that one. That's a valid point and you
might be right, and I want to talk more about that.
That deserves more time than just us throwing it in
there and having it be something to distract from the
point of another argument, and that.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
The point of the argument that we're currently having is
you're wrong. So once you admit that you're wrong, then
we can go back to this other thing this debatable.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, if you can, if you have actual concrete proof
that she is wrong, then yeah, it's important to bring
it up.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
At the same time, if you're the.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
One who's wrong and you're telling her who's wrong, then yeah,
it's going to go back and forth, and that's when
you're going to see mud from ten to fifteen years
ago to being flown Sam.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Have you ever tried to uh, if you ever try
to deal with somebody with concrete proof that they're wrong,
Oh god.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Cause yeah, no, it doesn't work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
No, because the more concrete proof you have, the more
they come up with something different. Like uh, for instance,
like there's this argument over the Epstein files, and the
latest is the Speaker of the House says no, no, no,
President Trump was only in there because he was an
FBI informant working under cover. See, so we just make
up crap, even if there's concrete evidence.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
We just make up crap because we don't want to
be wrong. No, you're right, we don't want to be wrong. Yeah.
What do they say, Uh, happy spouse, happy house.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I like to say that instead of happy wife, happy life,
because the happy wife, happy life stuff is crap. That
indicates that one person's emotional security takes priority over the other.
Oh that sounded official. Can that sound like I was
saying something important. That sounded very good.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Sometimes it's more important to be kind than it is
to be right.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Nah. Nah, It's more important to be right, always more
important to win.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Everybody knows that. This is why I would never hire
Sam as my therapist.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, telling me here, I know.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I love it too, all right, more of the show
business news. Disney is ten million dollars in the whole.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
How did this happen?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well, Disney Company, according to the La Times, agree to
pay ten million dollars to settle a Federal Trade Commission
inquiry into alleged violations of child privacy laws.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
That's not great.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
So videos that Disney uploaded to YouTube that were not
properly marked as children's content. The laps allowed the videos
to become targets for online advertising, drawing the attention of
federal regulators. Oh okay, so they loaded something up there
they didn't market as being kid content, And so then
YouTube started selling a bunch of ads to places that
are not.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Kid appropriate, like like what like hymns or sex toy
shops or something like that. Yeah, evidently you're.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Supposed to label your videos as made for kids. That
allows targeted advertising to reach children. Oh good, got to
make sure my kids know. So videos carry the default
classification is not made for kids, which allowed advertisers to
glean information about users some age thirteen and younger.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh I see.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
So if you market four kids, then they can't steal
your info. If you don't market for kids, then they
can steal all your info.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
So Disney's paying ten million dollars because they allowed for
advertisers to steal your kids info.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's great, that's wonderful. Better news. If you're an Oasis fan,
raise your hand. There you are. Evidently you're not alone
because Oasis hitting the Rose Bowl.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
From KKW so tonight, fans winding up for a reunion
years in the making.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
There's been a lot of hype around this one. Oasis
is playing the Rose Bowl around that their US leg of.

Speaker 8 (08:54):
Their world tour.

Speaker 7 (08:55):
The show started around seven thirty, and the concert comes
after a week long build up here and so cow
with photo exhibits, even pop up stores.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yay, I had no idea they're going back on tour.
So I bought a shirt as a gift for a friend,
and then I heard the pring here. I went online
yesterday one hundred dollars. I got in for a hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
How do you not know that they're going on to
Everybody knew they were going on tour because wasn't the
big hype about how the Gallaghers were going to fight
with each other?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
I got the right band, right, it's Galaghers, right who
they're fighting with each other?

Speaker 9 (09:25):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Are they gonna get along? Oh? They're famous for fighting.
We're super excited to be here.

Speaker 10 (09:30):
I never had a chance to see them the first time,
so the fact that they reunited and came to la
is absolutely amazing.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
There you go the true fans. So if you don't
want to miss out, they're still tickets. Do it what
that guy just did for tomorrow's show. Go online by
it all right?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
So anyway, Oasis making some people happy, even people that
didn't know that they had reunited.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Again. I don't know how much a fan you are.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Then, Uh, oh, hey, speaking of getting together and doing something,
how about if regulators mount up Warren g trying to
help out with Long Beach as they're bringing the baseball
to LBC. Did I use the right terms, Kayla today?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah? Sure, Oh yeah, there we go.

Speaker 10 (10:19):
The West Coast hip hop icon now linking up with
this new sports experience in his hometown. We spoke to
him today about the big announcement. The rapper and record
producer considers this ownership deal to be both a homecoming
and a chance to bring something all new to Long Beach.

Speaker 11 (10:34):
That's why I was born and raised, and just to
be able to be a part of something where I
was born and raised is amazing.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's awesome. ABC seven.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
By the way, with the report, well, there is still
a lot of planning and execution that needs to happen.
The Long Beach Baseball Club working with the City of
Long Beach and cal State Long Beach to make Blair
Field the club's home. The goal is to debut in
the twenty twenty six season for the Pioneer Baseball League.
Now as part of the ownership group, Warren g says
that he wants the team to reflect the city's energy,

(11:01):
culture and diversity, and he is already you can bet
it come up with a new name for the team.

Speaker 11 (11:07):
I immediately was like, I already know what the name
is going to be the lone Beach Regulator. I love baseball.
You know, I'm a huge Dodger fan. But now we're
gonna have another team for everybody to room for it too.
Just like the Dodgers, we got the long Beach Regulators.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
I kind of like that. Yeah. Who else is in
the Pioneer Baseball.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
League Billings, Montana, Hoisse, Ido, Colorado Springs, the Glacier Range Riders,
Grand Junction Jackalobes, the Great Falls Voyagers. I love this,
Idaho Falls Chuckers, Checkers, h u k A r S.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I'm not familiar with the term, and so I feel bad. Missoula,
Montana's in there.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Oakland Ballers, the Ogden Oakland as a Baseball Team, Ogden Raptors,
the Rocky Mountain Vibes, and the Ubas Sutter High Wheelers
all in the Pioneer Baseball League. That is a professional
partner league of the Major League Baseball. It is not
the same league where the Savannah Bananas play. Sorry, still

(12:14):
I'm excited for Warren G's new league. Well continue, there's
no business like show business, including an unlikely early oscar
buzz That's next. Chris Merrill ka if I am six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Sarta Chris Merrill

(12:35):
can' if I am six forty more stimulating talk and
there's no business like.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Show business.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Thank you, thank you. You're just warming up the pipes.
Is that what's going on?

Speaker 12 (12:47):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I was sipping water.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Save That's fine, it works, works for me. Show business continues.
It was surprised to see this. Dwayne Johnson's tearful reinvention
at the Venice Film Festival has some people buzzing about him.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Dwayne Johnson is used to big Knights, glamorous premiers and
thunderous applause their routine for the fifty three year old
action superstar. But it wasn't like anything else on Monday
night that when he debuted The Smashing Machine got his
premiere at the Venice Film Festival on like any movie
he's ever made. A naturalistic drama about a mixed martial
arts fighter struggling with doubt and drug addiction, The Smashing

(13:23):
Machine proves that Johnson can do much more than simply
outrace explosions and glower at vin diesel. Critics are high
in his performance, some predicting it could earn Johnson his
first Oscar nomination. Wow, it's just like, what was the
movie Mickey Rourke did? Was it The Wrestler? Was that

(13:43):
the one that he did that was that was like wow,
kind of his comeback.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I don't think I've seen it, haven't you. Yeah, it
was called The Wrestler. It was pretty good.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Like Mickey Rourke kind of disappeared for a while and
then all of a sudden he does this show The Wrestler,
and it's again it's about you know, this struggling. In
this case, I think it was like one of those
local wrestling circuit. It's been a while since I've seen it,
but it was like, I think it was a local
wrestling circuit kind of deal.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And Marissa Tomay was in it. She was really good.
It was a great film.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Great film and kind of reminds me of the description
of this sort of reminds me of that that struggling
with doubt and drug addiction, that sort of thing. So anyway,
if the Rock is doing it, good for him, that's amazing. Look,
the guy is a box office winner. But can we
be honest, as films are not usually the kind that

(14:34):
we go wow, that is memorable. Normally It's like, Wow,
that had a lot of explosions and okay, cool they
asked him in this one.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's neat. Hey, look we needed another Jumanji. Great, we
got one.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
His movies are fun, they're hi adrenaline and nothing against him.
Love to see that he's getting some opportunity to do
something else. I don't know if you want to call
this good news or bad news, but sounds like the
Kenemine Queen is going to face the music for selling
the drugs that killed a friend.

Speaker 9 (15:07):
Pleading guilty in federal court today, forty two year old
Jasmine Sanga admitted her home was a house of drugs methamphetamine, ecstasy,
counterfeit xanax, all documented by federal authorities, and ketamine, at
least at three shots of which killed Matthew Perry in
October of twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
She's the Ketemine Queen.

Speaker 10 (15:25):
Look, she feels horrible about all of this.

Speaker 13 (15:27):
I mean, nobody wants to be in the chain of
causation for lack of a better term, But.

Speaker 9 (15:33):
Lawyer Mark Gerrigo says he will argue at Sanga's sentencing
hearing that she's bearing an undue amount of responsibility for
Perry's death. She is one of five defendants who have
all pleaded guilty, including two doctors, a go between, and
Perry's assistant who injected him with the fatal dose.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
It wasn't my fault. I just sold the drugs. Yeah,
we're probably not gonna let you off the hook on
that one.

Speaker 9 (15:57):
Sanga's maximum possible sentence of six years is more than
the other four combined.

Speaker 13 (16:03):
I think there's a lot of mitigation in this case.
I think there's a lot of things that we will
present that will give a clearer picture as to what
actually happened.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, but we don't sell drugs illegally, So I mean,
I'm not cool on the doctors that we're prescribing it,
or the other people that were administering it, and you
know all the other But.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Maybe don't sell drugs. Maybe don't be a drug queen.
Maybe don't be you know, a kingpin, the ketymine queen.
You get the nickname, the ketemine queen.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
It doesn't mean that you're a fine, upstanding person who
accidentally gave the wrong drugs to a doctor whoops.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
No, means you're a kingpin.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
And last I checked, those are not real popular in America,
and unless, of course you're at it.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Levels of responsibility.

Speaker 13 (16:53):
I think there's a lot of things that will come
out at the sentencing here and I'll just leave it
at back.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Okay, why didn't come out during a oh she pled guilty?
But what's coming out of the sentencing hearing that's going
to be different.

Speaker 9 (17:04):
Nothing heregoes would not reveal details of the plea agreement
reached with prosecutors, of course it would, but legal analyst
Royal Oaks points out the judge is not bound by it.

Speaker 8 (17:12):
The judge will look at things like, well, what is
the severity of the allegations, what is the strength of
the case by the prosecution? How many years? Is it
a slap on the wrist or is it just too
long to be fair? All of those factors come into play.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah, but judges, I don't really like to go off
the plea deal because as soon as they do that,
then who in their court is going to take a
plea deal the next time?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean, the plea deal is to avoid the jury, right.
I mean we all know this. I'm not telling you
anything new.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
You watch a lot order, you know how it goes,
So we know why the plea deal is made in
the first place, and now you're you're going to come
and say, oh, you know what, plea deals don't matter.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, No they do.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Prosecution doesn't want for a judge to say no to
a plea deal that it doesn't usually go over very well.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
That's my two says.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
It's also fun fact Ketamine Queen was actually the first
song that was proposed and then later rejected from Billy Ocean.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Did you know that? Yeah? And then he later made
it Cara Being Queen, But it was originally the way
I sing it. When I do it in karaoke, Kedemian
Queen exactly the same thing. I'm telling you. We need
to hit up karaoke one. Oh, I'm very good.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
The problem is that we go to karaoke and people
start hearing me sing, they're gonna boo you off the
stage and they're gonna just demand more of me. I
can't even tell you how many ovations I've done at karaoke.
By the way, some floating around on the system somewhere
is I did Pink Pony Club when I was in
for MO a week ago, and it's in the system

(18:53):
and it was so good. Our production team auto tuned it,
but they didn't. They didn't even have to because I
was I was perfect.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
It was nailed.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
So anyway, it's in the computer system somewhere. If you
find it, Sam, it's gonna be our bumper music. I
think that's great because I can tell you this. Once
you hear it, you're gonna demand that I cut the single.
And I'm in talks right now. I have to get
the you know, the rights. But right now, Chapel Roone
heard it and she was like, that's amazing. It's not

(19:21):
even my song anymore, it's his. So I mean we're close.
We're close. So anyway, it's in the system somewhere if you.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Can find it.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
You ever go to a baseball game and have a
bad experience with Karen, Oh, she's the worst. I'll tell
you how it turned out when this father and son
met up with a nasty Karen. Next, it's Chris Merril
KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Can even.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Chris Merril k I AM six forty more stimulating talk
on demand anytime in the iHeart Radio app. Appreciates you
taking here some moment, the saving anybody that to hit us.
In the talk back, we asked about whether or not
you would take the annuity or the lump sum if
you were to win the lottery. Of course, a couple
of people did, one in Missura, one in the Field,

(20:11):
Republic of Texas. They are splitting the one point eight
billion dollar lottery power ball that went down.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
It was not us. I did not win. I thought
very seriously about that topic, not only what I would do.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
How because anonymity is going to be paramount, right, you
don't want anybody to know that you won.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
And how do you keep it cool?

Speaker 3 (20:35):
I mean you would have to go to work the
next day in order to not to you know, throw
any suspicion or calling sick or something anyway, right, Uh,
but you gotta be cool about it. I don't think
I could be cool. I think I would be freaking out.
I don't think I could keep a calm face. I
don't think I could go without telling you know.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
My work, buddy. You're not gonna believe this it was me, right,
because it would be the bise. Everybody would be like
somebody in our neighborhood won. Somebody here won. I wonder
who it was.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I wonder if I know them, And they bought it
at this store, and oh I go to that store
and you're like, oh, yeah, I've been there, right. You
gotta be cool though you can't. You can't tell anybody
that you won, because that's how you get kidnapped. So
how would you go about it? I would have difficulty.
I would have trouble keeping my mouth shut. I don't

(21:24):
know why I gave that to just way too much thought.
Usually when the when the lottery gets really high, that's
when I start thinking about what I would do when
I would win, and that's when I start going broke. Anyway,
thanks everybody that weighed in the final. The final decision,
by the way, was do you take the lump sum
or the annuity? And I think we learned just do whatever?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
So I'm cruising around on the socials yesterday and.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Uh, oh, you couldn't find my Pink Pony Club. Yeah, Now,
it was a special cut that they did. It wasn't
It wasn't just on the show like they the production
guys put it together. Kayla, are you are you real?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah? No, it's somewhere for DEFs guys put it together.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, Tala probably knows where it is because I sang
it on the air and then I think it was
Eric that that jumped all over it and he he
put it together, he auto tuned it.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
It was amazing. It is really incredible. All right, let
me find it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
So I'm I'm cruising the social media's and all of
a sudden, I see everybody calling out this this woman
who looks like she's probably I'm gonna say she's probably
in her late fifties, she's got white hair, she's wearing
this big Phillies jersey, and she goes off on this guy.
This this this home run gets hit deep into left

(22:49):
center field, and there's this frenzy to get to the ball,
and this guy comes away with it and he holds
it up triumphantly, and he turns around and he walks
over and he puts it in his kid's glove and
then he hugs his kid and this woman runs right
up to him and gets right in his face.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
That's my ball. Ye didn't do that.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
And the guy goes, Wow, what's happening right now? And
she's yeah, yeah, I mean, you're just gonna she looked
like a human chiwaba.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Just yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Finally, the guy takes the ball out of his kid's
ball glove and gives it to her and goes just
go away. A lot of people saying, oh, he's a beta.
First of all, I hate the social media because they're
going to start to picking sides. Second of all, social
media then said we need to dos this woman and
ruin her life.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
I hate that too.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, she seems like she's a real pill, But like,
who has time to go ruin a stranger's life? So
thank you social media for doing that.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Just the same, the story plays out and it sounds
like the father and the kid came away with more
than just a baseball.

Speaker 14 (23:53):
Harris and Vader in the fourth inning.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
This is from NBC Sports Philly.

Speaker 14 (23:57):
I want you to check out where this ball lands.
Ben Davis left field, and some Phillies fans are gonna
grapple for the ball. Guy in the red T shirt
right there comes up with it, walks down the aisle
and hands it to his son and gets it as
that woman in the white hair.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
There is the woman in the white hair, as if
that was a choice.

Speaker 14 (24:16):
Left with nothing, and she says excuse me, that should.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Be mine baseball, and.

Speaker 14 (24:23):
Guys like, are you kidding me? No, it's it's it's
my son's baseball. And then the other woman there says, yeah,
it's not yours. But the guy, I don't think I
would have done this to my child. Now he takes
it and says, here, do you want it? It's all
yours Karen, And she walks down the aisle and yes,
that's mine, gives it to her husband. Good for you,

(24:44):
Good for you. But guess what he gets a gift bag.
It looks like a Phillies gift bag too.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
The Philly guys are like, I think it's a Phillies
gift bag. Even better, No, it was.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
They gave us standing ovation. Nice going. But wait there's more.

Speaker 14 (25:03):
If you order right now, we'll give you Dave Dombrowski
and Harrison Bader.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
These are the players in the coach.

Speaker 14 (25:09):
Signing a bat for your son underneath the stadium.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
That's so awesome.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah, they later went, get that kid down here, we're
gonna make it right for him.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
So they give him a signed bat and a.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Ball, and he got to meet the player and the
coach and the Marlins gave a big gift bag, so
it's pretty cool. And the lady ends up being docked
because of the Internet, and I think her life is
about as over as it would be if you were
a CEO having an affair on a cold play camera.
I mean, it just it got crazy fast. Oh no,

(25:43):
because it's the Internet, I thought I would go see
if I could find the actual moment. So ESPN had
the actual call and listen to the first reaction by
the announcers here because I thought this was really interesting.
This is what happened at that Phillies Marlins game. Okay,
ball gets.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Hit the deep deep left center field. That one's got
a chance, it's god and ball hit the fan.

Speaker 15 (26:08):
Ah. The Phillies fan came in and she she's he
stole it from another Phillies fan.

Speaker 12 (26:14):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
So now guy in red T shirt, they're saying he
stole it from white haired lady.

Speaker 15 (26:22):
Oh she can't believe it. Whoa oh no, oh yeah, yep.
We have a little infighting here.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
You know, he did give it to what I would have.
Lady's got to get it under control. She's given him
the business.

Speaker 15 (26:40):
Look at the girl in the background and in the
left hand side of the screen.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
She's laughing, everybody's laughing, ends up giving her the ball.
Lady walks away, Internet goes crazy. Can you believe that?
A terrible person? YadA, YadA, YadA. So here's my here's
my hottest of hot takes on this one. Karen, mind
your own business. You obviously don't know how it works.
I know you're a baseball fan. You wanted to have
that home run ball, whatever it is. Even if the

(27:05):
ball bounces off of this lady's nogging, she's not entitled
to it.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Now. If it did bounce off her head, that would
have been nice the video replay.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
I don't think it hit her, but it did bounce around.
There were other fans trying to get the ball. And
here's how this works. If you haven't been to a
baseball game before, and you haven't been near a foul
ball or a home run ball, a loose baseball in
the park is a little bit like musical chairs. It's
the first person with possession that gets it, just because
the music's playing, and you think that's your chair. Even

(27:35):
if your butt was near it and somebody else swooped
in there, that's not your chair.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
You lose.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
You're out, go, sit down. That's how musical chairs works,
that's how loose baseball works.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
The ballpark.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
So she's getting she's getting more punishment than she deserves
because the internet. And I'm so glad that the baseball
teams did right by the father and the son. And
I'm seeing a bunch of other people on the internet
that want.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
To reward them. That's great. I love that outpouring of support.
I'm here for it.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Strangers trying to ruin another stranger's life not I'm not
big on that. I just can't get behind that. And
I know she's a horrible person. And she took a
ball from a child.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
She lost her job, did she? I didn't give that
up there?

Speaker 4 (28:20):
She she Uh, she works at a school apparently, or
or in this or something, and she got she got
let go. I don't know if you saw the video
from other angles of the entire thing. She was like
angry with the entire crowd. She was giving people the finger.
Oh yeah, she turned around, flipped everybody else off.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah she thought she was all right. Yeah, it sounds
like she's not a great person.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
And uh, and probably there's some people at that school
that are like, oh my gosh, I can't believe we
finally found a reason to fire her.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Whatever.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I'm just not crazy about this whole I'm going to
be an internet vigilante. I don't think that's health for America.
I don't think that's a great a great look for us.
When we got when we all decide on mob justice,
you know that's I saw a video and so that's enough,
let's ruin this person's life.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
I just don't like that.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Now, this woman sounds like she's a real snot and
I'm not a big fan of her. But friends, I
this is the modern day version.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Of a lynch mob.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
And I don't mean that in like a racist slavery sense.
I mean that in like a you know, rednecks with
pitchforks outside of a jailhouse because I don't know, somebody
made an accusation that someone stole a horse. I don't
have any idea where I'm going with this. I just
don't like the idea of just mob justice. Just not
a huge fan of that at all. There was another dude, though,

(29:48):
and he got his comeuppance, but once again, he's a millionaire,
so he doesn't care. So he's at the US Open
and you may have seen this last week. He stole
a hat from a kid, directly from the kid.

Speaker 16 (29:59):
A Polishllionaire is speaking out today after facing backlash for
stealing a hat from a child at the US Open
this week, and it wasn't to apologize. This happened after
a match when tennis star Camille Myeshak was signing autographs
after his win.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
He took off his hat to give to the boy.
But that man snatches it away and takes off with it.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
He just the tennis player signed the hat handed to
the kid and then turned away before the hat had
been taken out of his hand, like looking for the
next person.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
And the millionaire just grabs it. The tennis player didn't
even realize who took the hat. He's pretty smooth. He
was a total d bag.

Speaker 16 (30:36):
After facing criticism online, the man responded by saying quote,
if you were faster, you would have it wow, and
threatened legal action for those criticizing him. But my shack
met up with the boy afterwards and gave him another
hat to make up for it. I don't know what
that man can do to make up for his actions,
but you know he's got to live with it.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Hey, I took the autographed hat and I gave you
another one that I bought at the gift shop. So
enjoy that, kiddo.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
I bet you both of these Karens are both somewhere
out there saying, these kids should be thanking me because
I got them the chance to actually meet these players
and get way more than they actually had.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
And I taught them a very important life lesson along
the way.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Oh, I did see that that hr lady from the
Coldplay concert, you know Jumbo trin video.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I did see that she just filed for divorce or
she's getting divorced.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Don't know she filed or not, but I see she's
getting divorced now, at least I saw that on the headline.
Who knows you can't believe anything you see on the
internet anymore. He used to be it was infallible, but
now all of a sudden, I have to be careful
what I read on the internet.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Total crap.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
You know. I love Doctor Wendy. Normally I get my
free five minutes of therapy from Doctor Wendy. Tonight I
got more because Sam is here, and I love it
when Sam is here. He is actually a therapist, and
Sam and I were talking off the air and said, Hey,
between you and me, just as girls is doctor Wendy.
She legit here and Sam said, Wendy has great instincts,

(32:04):
she's a wonderful professor. She's right on the money. I
thought that was a ringing endorsement. Absolutely well done, well done.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Good.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
I'm gonna ask her about how to have more sex next.
Chris Merril can if I am six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
That is just good again. I gotta be a little
bit careful.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
That is tell this is why you can't take me karaoke,
because as soon as people hear that, they're gonna be
like more of him.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
That is so good. And you know, Chapel Roon's people
reached out and they were like.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Listen, you can't ever do that again because people aren't
gonna want to hear you know, Chapel Roone do it.
They're gonna want to hear you do it because it's
so good.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I don't think anyone said that to you. I'm pretty
sure nobody I had to sign an NDA. I don't
think you did. I'm pretty sure you didn't have to
do that, So I mean, you know, I'm not allowed
to discuss these things. Okay, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yeah, I've been advised by legal right right to you know,
not not to talk about it. It was Bill right,
Bill A Turney. I don't know if you're familiar, Okay
that guy. Yeah, yeah, so so there you go. Thanks

(33:20):
everybody that was hanging out tonight too. We were talking
about the lottery winnings. Would you keep the annuity or
would you take the lump some payments.

Speaker 11 (33:27):
Lottery lump some Yeah, I'd be dead before I got
the last payment.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I'd rather you spend it all now, so I'm kids
don't get it. They'd blow it on gambling or something.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yes, you and I are cut from the same cloth.
So that's exactly what I thought too, Like, I don't
want my kids to have it.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
All right? Who else from the talkbacks?

Speaker 3 (33:50):
By the way, if you're on the iHeartRadio, just click
the talkback button and let us know.

Speaker 15 (33:53):
Your program is so entertaining.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
I wish you the best that lotto.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Thank you, Thank you so much, God bless you. You're
a good person. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Now, that's the kind of person that would be trying
to buy my single, which I you know, I'm I'm
talking with some writers right now.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
To see if anybody else would be willing to jump
in on that. We'll figure it out.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Doctor Wendy is coming up here at seven o'clock, Doctor
Wendy after dark.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Guys. I think she needs to use the connection that
I'm on.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
The engineers did something with the other connection and I
had trouble connecting to that earlier. So I think I
think that's what's going on here. Behind the scenes are
all going like we're trying to get Wendy on. I
think everything's gonna be cool as soon as I hang
up fellas real quick here, Sam, I'm gonna bring you
in just one more time here, because I was interested
in this. I was reading the Institute for Family Studies

(34:47):
and it says that we're in a sex recession. The
share of Americans having regular sex keeps dropping, excuse me,
and that's across all different demographics. Percentage of adults between
eighteen and sixty four who will have sex weekly or
more is down to thirty seven percent, the lowest that
it's been since they started recording this thirty five years ago.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah, I could see that makes a little sense, just
because you know, we had the pandemic that was well,
it's been dropping since.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
I mean it's been dropping since before that.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Well, we got accustomed to kind of just being on
our own, and now we found ways to get our
needs met without having actual people there. We find that,
you know, it's kind of nice when we don't have
somebody judging us, yeah and calling us tiny.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
But I think that this is I really do, and
I don't mean this in a negative way, because sexlessness
among young adults is actually way up as well, It's
doubled since twenty ten. I think this has to do
with women, and I think this has to do with
women putting careers before relationships. One of the reasons that
was listed by the study was that there are fewer

(35:52):
LTRs long term relationships, and people are not necessarily getting
into long term relationships. And I think this has to
do with a push for equality in the work place,
and as women are gaining more footing in the workplace
and saying I'm gonna put my career first. Uh, then
then I think this is where all of a sudden
it goes, I'm a career before relationship, which means we're
not cohabitating like we maybe were in the past. Doctor

(36:15):
Wendy is with us now, Doctor Wendy think I'm glad
you got the connection because I couldn't get it to
work earlier.

Speaker 12 (36:21):
I am not a tech person and sometimes tech fails me.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
That me too.

Speaker 9 (36:25):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
The share of Americans having regular sex keeps dropping, and
I just blamed women for it.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
And the reason I do.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Wait a minute, I think it's because as we're getting
more parody in the workplace and women are fighting for
their careers, they're putting career and and basically they're you know,
themselves first instead of saying I need.

Speaker 12 (36:45):
To are you making this or did you read that?

Speaker 2 (36:48):
This is what I'm thinking. Yeah, okay, here's what.

Speaker 12 (36:52):
We actually have more unmarried adults in America than we
have ever had in history. And although you may not
believe it, married people have more sex than single people.
Single people have to work a lot harder to obtain sex.
Married people just need to do the dishes.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, that's my point. And women aren't getting their delaying
marriage exactly well, women and men.

Speaker 12 (37:18):
Men are riding this wave of cheaper sex than we've
had before and thinking I don't need to settle down. Women,
of course, have a fertility window, so women do need
to settle down if they want to become mothers, right.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Right, And I think a lot of them are prioritizing themselves.
And I'm not saying there's anything wrong either. In fact,
that's I had questions written out for you. Is less
sex necessarily a bad thing in society, in.

Speaker 12 (37:44):
Society or within a relationship society in general? Not necessarily,
I mean unless unless we're worried about population decline.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
But at point, economy built on a pyramid scheme, right, yeah,
we just have.

Speaker 12 (37:59):
Two many people on the planet anyway, right now. Yeah,
and a lot of people without jobs. So you want
to bring yes, more unemployed babies. Okay, I don't know
the answer, but.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Once again, you and I are on the same page,
and that is team Thanos. I'm all for it.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
I want him to have the Infinity Stones wipe half
of us out. If it's me, then I understand I'm
willing to make that sacrifice.

Speaker 9 (38:20):
Go.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
I'm going to need to call the herd.

Speaker 12 (38:23):
But I do think that people are having families later
and that ultimately is good for children because the parents
are more mature.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
See this is why I love listening to you. I
love doctor Wendy After Dark. She starts at seven o'clock.
It is seven o'clock. She starts next any minute after.
Ye thank you, doctor Wendy.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Have a wonderful show, and I will talk to you
in a bit. Thank you. I appreciate you. Sam.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Always a pleasure having you. Kayla, you are on it tonight, girl,
nice job. And Brigitta, it's always so calming when I
hear your voice.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
It's wonderful.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
And Eileen was here earlier, and she is so great
when she gives me the news, I believe everything she says.
And when you're here, I feel so much calmer when
you give me bad news. Is just a wonderful team.
And you guys are the best. And I can't wait
to talk to you again. I have a great night's
