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

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Thanks for hanging out to Chargers fans. Sorry I watched too.
It was that was rough. Non Charger fans. It's another
week before you have to deal with the football game.
So yeah, go either way? Uh, Kayla in studio tonight.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Kayla, Hello, Chris, here you go?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Amy?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, okay, good because I want you to look. I
want you to look over there in the in the
control room, Yeah, and see what that is? What that's Ali?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
He's sweating?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Hey, hey, no, I just want I want you to focus.
So Kayla, here's the deal. What so Ali's first time
without the training wheels, right, and they give them our.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Show I know? Right? Is if we don't matter, we
don't like we're the training ground for the news. We
are a bunch of schmucks, is what we are, a
bunch of suckers. Yep. But Oli's over there sweat. Yes,
he seems to think that.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
The whole world is listening. They are, and he needs
to know it's not. It's just a couple hundred thousand people,
that's it. If he goofs up, it's only a couple
hundred thousand people that are going to hear him goof
up and.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Know that it's him because we just announced that it's
Ali by himself doing the screwing up exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I mean, I want you to think about this. Justin
Herbert throws an interception. He only threw it in front
of like fifty thousand people. That's it, right, because that's
all that was in the stadium. Ali, he screws up
four times, as many people know it. So no pressure. Hey,
I was talking to you, Kayla. Why does he think
he can just jump in here and just talk to us.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I think it's because we come off as schmucks.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
That's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Aileen and Zalez in the newsroom. Good to see you girls.
Thank you, Errol, that's good to be with you again.
Eileen was in on Friday night too. I was in
for mo.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
We had fun on Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
We did have fun. We did we think about Ali.
He's uh. I think he's got what it takes.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I think he was doing all right till you guys
gave him that pep talk.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
There's a couple of hundred thousand people and as the
night goes on, you know, we are hitting drive time here.
There's a lot of people stuck in traffic listening for
Oligus grew up. So the whole segment is just yeah,
pretty much. Yes, I didn't look. I didn't schedule anything
for today. This is basically just bag on Olie night.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
You're doing great man. In fact, they said Ali's gonna
be in. He should be fine. I said, Ali's nails.
You're doing great. I mean, let's face it, Kayla, we've
worked with some people that it took him a lot
longer than Ali did to catch on him. Right, Oh
my gosh, yes, sir, there have been some people. Yeah,
there have been some people. It's been rough. So uh,
we got to watch football all day long today, I did, anyway,
And you're not a big football fan, right, did you

(02:45):
watch them?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Good talk? Uh? So I watched.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I got to watch football all day long, which I
love to do. And of course they started with the
game in London, so I was had football from six
thirty this morning. It was spectacular. But the biggest football
story this week is about the Super Bowl, and.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm just wondering.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
If people are continuing to take the bait, you know,
because bad Bunny got picked for the super Bowl, right,
and so.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's set people off.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Tommy Lauren Fox News said he's not an American artist,
so she said he's not American. Well, of the guests
oner show named Crystal Ball. This sounds as bad as
like the traffic names would give people says he's Puerto Rican,
that's part of America. Deer not great. Benny Johnson, Daily Wire,

(03:41):
this is bad Bunny. He was announced as the twenty
twenty six Super Bowl halftime show. Massive Trump, pater anti
Ice activists, no songs in English, even canceled his entire
US tour for this reason. Effing Ice could be outside
my concert. That's what bad Bunny said. The NFL is
destruct is self destructing year after years, as Benny Johnson, Uh, the.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Ratings would not show that.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Now, there was a dip in ratings when we had
Kneelgate when Colin Kaepernick was kneeling.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
But it really is not. It's not stuck.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I think the NFL might be bigger than the blowhards
and politics. I said this before, when it and when it.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Came to when it came to Disney. No, Disney is
the whole deal.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Kimmel and stuff like that. And I said, look, here's
the here's the truth behind it. People are gonna be Oh,
I'm gonna cancel my Disney Plus, I'm gonna cancel my Hulu.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I'm gonna can I'm gonna I'm gonna show them. Here's
the deal.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Uh, they signed a massive contract with esp I mean,
ESPN is a Disney property and the ESPN just signed
a massive contract with the NFL.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
As long as they've got the NFL, they don't care.
They don't care.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
They don't care if there's a few left wingers who
don't want to uh keep their subscription because they're picking.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Up a lot more football fans, lots more.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And don't tell me if you're a football Oh, I'm
never going to be a football fan again.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Sure you are? Sure or not? Oh, I'm boycotting the
super Bowl? Sure you are.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Did you boycott the super Bowl when Rihanna was there?
You know she's a native of Barbados. Did you boycott
the Super Bowl when Shakira was a headliner in twenty twenty,
she's a Colombian citizen. How many people were like, I'll
never watch the super Bowl again that they have Cold
Play on stage in twenty sixteen as a headliner. They're
from the UK, The Who in twenty ten, The Stones

(05:33):
in two thousand and six, Paul McCartney in five U
two in two thousand and two.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
In fact, the two thousand and.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Two super Bowl was the first Super Bowl after the
greatest attack in American soil, and we had Burners as
the headliners at the super Bowl. Where was the outrage?
In ninety seven, James Brown was the headliner. You know
who was a guest performer, Dan Ackroyd. He's Canadian. We
didn't really fits about that, did we.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I wonder why no? I get it bad Bunny as
he's made political statements. So I'm curious. Here's where I
think this is really interesting to go. I'm not watching it.
The NFL picked a politically active person to be their headliner.
Keep politics out of my sports, and I'd be down

(06:25):
with that. I'd be down with that, except the same
people screaming that are cheering on ice being at the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Does that make a lot of sense? Keep politics out
of sports.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Unless unless you're gonna have you know, armed federales outside
arresting people, as if there's a giant illegal immigrant population
with an extra eight grand to spend on Super Bowl
tickets that are all gonna swarm Levi Stadium. They're not
they're not illegal immigrants have I have no interest in

(07:01):
going to this year super Bowl because the Raiders aren't going,
so they're not going to. But if I mean, maybe
there would have been, but no, it's there will not be.
What are how many rests they're gonna be? I'm gonna
guess minimal. We do it every week, the lawmakers, the
law breakers, the times that there ought to be a law,
and you're gonna about to find out why, Oh joy,

(07:23):
you're gonna get to pay more for parking. If there's
one thing I hear people complain about all the time,
it's that there's just not enough expensive parking in Los Angeles. Also,
we're gonna hit the talkback our question tonight. If you're
on the iHeartRadio app, just hit that talkback button. Have
a story coming up, And I'm fascinated by this. In fact,
I'm looking forward to your response. Would you get back

(07:43):
with an X if they suddenly came into money? You
will be shocked to find out how many people are like, Oh,
I definitely would would you get back with an X?
If they suddenly came into money, hit that talkback button
and let me know.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
If your ex wins a lotto, would you give him
a call?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Love to know about that, all right, Chris Merrill kf
I AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. As always,
it is an honor to be with you, Killer. Are
these clean? You just sent me the killer just sent
me the talk back.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Everything I do is clean, and I'm kidding the other clean.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I always have to check because on occasion someone will
say something that they okay, yeah, okay, So on occasion
people will say something that they shouldn't. Oops, and yeah
when that when that happens, then you know we have
to be ready to go. And Ali's h all, they's
a little wet behind the airs here still, so we
don't want to get them fired. In his first day,

(08:48):
we saved that as an anniversary gift.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Saying here the dumb button button. Ali, it is Chris,
So you gotta be careful.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
So the question is if your ex won the lottery
or came into money of any sort, would you get
back with them.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Got a story coming up a little bit later.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
We'll talk to doctor Wendy Walsh about it about how
many people absolutely would give it another try if their
X came into some money.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Which seems shallow, but only because it is.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
It makes you feel any better. Chris, I haven't listened
to KFI for a couple hours. Oh, come on, the
charger were coming on. I went on, did some yardwork
and stuff, and I turned on a little bit ago
and then knew the chargers were over with, so I
left it on and Chris.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Merrill is on. Okay, screw the chargers and go Chris Merrill,
all right, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Chargers to sir.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, all right, see I appreciate that. But yeah, let's
get to the X.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Would I get back with my ex if she won money? Yeah,
I don't think so, because they all dumped me.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
They wouldn't want to be with me to begin with,
right now.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's the that's the interesting twist. Would you take them back?
Because I've always been the dumpy. I've never been the
big dumper. I've always been the dumpy. So when I
take them back, they obviously didn't want to stick it
out with me. One basically dump me because she thought
I had no future, which I mean I'm in radio.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
So who could blame her if she came into Buddy.
She already came into Buddy and divorced me. All right,
well there you go, all right?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Would you get would you try to get back with
an ax if they suddenly came into money? That's our
talkback question tonight. Thank you so much for everybody that
participates in it.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Love to hear. If anybody's got other thoughts, give us
some thought. Give it. You know, you know they can't
come into money. Maybe depends on the X, but maybe
just ping them.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Most people are going to say, yeah, I feel give.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Them a ping. Do you think so that's interesting?

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
All right, the lawmakers, the lawbreakers, and the times that
there ought to be a law.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Let's start with just how much more you get to
pay for parking. I know a lot of people are thinking, jeepers,
I hate that I go places and sometimes I just
don't pay out the nose for parking. Well, the La
City Council has got you covered.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
Well prepared to park, to pay more to park on
the streets of La. The La City Council has approved
a fifty cent increase for parking meter rates, which right
now ranged from a dollar to eight dollars per hour.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh oh, it's only eight dollars an hour.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
We be better pump that up.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Daily.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
Hours of operation for meters are also being extended to
midnight in busy parts of the city.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Oh so, remember when it used to be free parking
after five or seven or nine or whatever.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Nope, nope, nope, not no more.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
And to eight pm in all other street metered areas.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
The La Daily News says the increased rates will bring
in more than fourteen million dollars to the city of
La this coming year.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh good.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
Not clear yet when the changes will take effect.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well, I'm sure that they'll use that money wisely, as
we know they often do, so looking forward to that.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Now.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
They haven't raised prices since twenty fourteen, so I mean,
I I do have to say, Look, obviously there's been
a little inflation since twenty fourteen, and so they're saying
that parking meter is going up fifty cents from a
dollar to a dollar fifty Although those ones that are
already more expensive.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
We're going to get even more expensive, I think. So
you've got that going for us let me see. There's
also yeah, a similar vote.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
This's from ABC seven, as was the Audio City Council
approving emotion introduced by members to clarify its enforcement process
and penalties, including the possibilities of including fines for violations
of trash bin placements and they would charge you in
your utility bill or other options beyond the citation enforcement program.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
There you go, all right.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Any bins that are left blocking the road or sidewalk
need to be promptly removed, and if they're not, you're
getting smacked with another another fine. So if the HOA
didn't catch you, don't worry. Boys in blue are keeping
an eye out for your trash. You know what I'd
like to see him do. I'd like to see them

(13:16):
really start coming down on people that recycle pizza boxes.
You can't put pizza boxes in the recycling That's what
I'd like to see. I'd like to see some actual
enforcement of our recycling laws with some teeth. I bet
just a weekend or two locked up because you thought
you could throw any plastic in the bin rather than

(13:36):
making sure it's a one, two or five whatever it
is in your area. I bet I bet all of
a sudden people start paying a little bit closer attention,
but they don't uh other lawbreakers. We've got a man
who's bringing about talk tara if.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
A man under arrest after police say he made multiple
online threats targeting TikTok's headquarters in Culver City. Employees reported
receiving a series of online threats across multiple social media platforms.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
You suppose that this is this is a liberal who's
mad about TikTok operating, continuing to operate even though it
was they were supposed to go out. Do you think
that this is a conservative who's mad about TikTok and
their current ties to the Chinese Communist Party, or more likely,
is it a Nutter.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm going with Nutter?

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Then yesterday they told police the man threatened TikTok's headquarters.
Security evacuated the location out of an abundance of caution.
Police quickly found the man's home in Hawthorne, saying he
made additional threatening statements online, including a declaration he would
not be taken alive if officers tried to arrest him.
After crisis negotiators spoke with him. The suspect identified as

(14:47):
thirty three year old Joseph Majugo was taken into custody.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
His motive remains under investigation. Ah, man, is it political
or is it nutter?

Speaker 2 (14:59):
You know how you gonna know because if it's political,
you're gonna hear about it, and if it's not, you'll
never hear about the case.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Again, that's how we know.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, if we can't tie it to some political ideology
so we can start yelling at each other online like.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Brave well clad keyboard warriors do, then we just move
on to the next thing. That's it.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, all I have a story coming up here in
the next hour about the amount of people that say
that they would they would definitely try to hook back
up in an X if that X suddenly came into money, inheritance,
amazing job, win the lottery, whatever else it is. Would
you get back with an X if they suddenly came
into money? What if they what if they come into

(15:46):
money and then they call you go, hey, hey, I
know you thought it was a dead beat, but I'm rich.
Now do you want to well, maybe go get some
coffee you can afford Starbucks. If you're on the app,
hit that talkback button and remember you can always listen
everywhere on your iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Up. Just hit that talk back button and let us know.
Would you get back with an X if they suddenly
came into money. Looking forward to your responses to that
and next.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
There's no business like show business. Doesn't it sound like
I caught her a little away from the mic, like
she was dying from across the room.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
The bike was a little far from my mouth. Okay,
all right, I got it, all right, it worked though,
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
