Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Rating coming down across the area.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
So we're cut of water, not Orange County getting head
pretty pretty good right now, and everybody's paying real close attention.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What's gonna happen with the mud signs.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
We'll talk more about that a little bit later on
on Chris merrilkaf I AM six forty. More stimulating talk
and there is no business lie business Big week. As
the Oscar nominations came out, and then of course the
Oscar snubs came out. I always loved the snubs. That's better.
I you have to be totally honest, I've seen so
(00:35):
few of these.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh God, Kayla, am I alone on this. I feel
like we've got a very.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Uh, I'm not gonna call it artsy list, but I'm
gonna say that it is. We're certainly not seeing the
blockbusters on there.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
They were. Gladiator Too wasn't in the Best Picture list.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
It was not.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I don't think so. No, Wicked Wise.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Though, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, Dune Part two was on the best Pick your list.
I know that, Emilia Perez, that is the uh.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
The film is that it's I don't want to misstate
this is that the one that is kind of a
transgender coming of age sort of situation is that the
deal on a musical about a drug kingpin who undergoes
gender affirming surgery.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Maybe not coming of age, then uh so that sounds fun.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I thought you're still talking about The Dunes.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm like, wait, no, no, no, dud no, that's not
dude that got thirteen nominations. So drug kingpin undergoing gender
affirming surgery, they got thirteen nominations. The Brutalist, which interests
me in the same way that Oppenheimer did. I thought
Oppenheimer was a great film. I was really interested in
seeing it, but I'll be honest, I saw Barbie first.
(01:46):
The reason is I just don't like making a three
plus hour commitment.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
To a movie.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Half the time when I'm when I'm going through my
my Amazon Prime or Hulu or something and I'm looking
at them, Oh that was two hours and ten minutes.
That's too long. I don't want to do that. I
like a nice, tight one. That's what I want to
see this deal with The Brutal. The Brutalist is three
and a half hours. Somebody I was listening, I don't
(02:16):
know if they were joking or not. I was listening
to somebody discussing it. They said, it's goin an intermission.
Have you heard that that the Brutalist has an intermission?
Speaker 6 (02:23):
I believe Wicked has one too, Hey, guys.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Wicked's and musical. All musicals have to have intermissions. You'll
get more mic and ikes.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I'm with you, though, I have the three hours is so.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Long, Oh so long. We don't have the attentions.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I have a TikTok attention span. Okay, three hours exact
the day of tiktoking.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Here's what the Brutalist has going for it for me,
all right. First of all, has Adrian Brody in it,
who's also been nominated. I love Adrian Brody. I think
he's amazing. Second, it's a historical epic. Okay, I'm in.
I love those. So it's got a couple of things.
But I'm gonna throw this in the categor that I
like to call airplane movie. This is the kind of
(03:03):
thing that I put on when I'm taking a cross
country flight. So if this is available on American in April,
I'm taking a little trip to my hometown in Michigan,
and so maybe if I can catch a flight out
of Grand Rapids back then I can.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I can watch The Brutalist if it's available.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Otherwise, I just I don't like to sit still for
three and a half hours.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yeah, three and a half. Oh, I thought it was three.
That was bad enough. Three and a half that's wild.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's too much, too much. But if it's good then
I will remain rapped.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
So a Nora Brutalist, Complete Unknown Conclave, which I think
is available on one of the streaming services. Now I'm
got to take a look at that. I think even
maybe it's Peacock that has that. I thought I saw.
I'm still here, Nickel Boys, The Substance, as well as
others that I mentioned. Best Director again from Amelia Perez,
Anora's director, Brutalist director and the Substance director and a Complete
(04:08):
Unknown director, although I believe it Complete Unknown is the
only of those that did not get nominated for Best Picture.
So Adrian Brody, like I said, for Best Actor, roll
fines for Conclave.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Coleman Domingo from Sing Sing.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
If you're not familiar, Coleman Domingo is the guy he
was on Fear of the Walking Dead. A great actor
like him, A lot anyway, seeing a number of these
that and again a lot of these come out late
in the year. They do that on purpose. If you
have a long film, or if you think that you're
gonna have a film that is really gonna stand a
(04:43):
chance in the awards and you're gonna you're gonna push
for it. If you're the studio, you release that in
November December because you want it to be fresh in
the voter's minds. Rarely do we see a film that
is released in well, you never see it in in
February or March. Right you start to see things start
coming out like Blockbusters season in May, but for the
(05:04):
most part, you've just never seen anything that's released like
right now that ends up in the awards. So it
also means that as a as a viewer, you haven't
had time for this to come out on streaming. If
you didn't see in the theater, maybe you haven't seen
it on streaming. So for a lot of people, just
y'all get a chance to see these movies before they hit.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The the Oscars.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Meanwhile, Kikel was talking about these snubs for the Oscar.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Nominations to feel sad for the people who are left
out of like such a fun thing. They're in these movies.
Chances are their friends and their co workers have got
nominations and they don't.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
First one on my mind is Selena Gomez mist out
for Amilia Perez. Now that's the most nominated movie this year, but.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
They forgot her.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Sure did well, and she's a big part of that movie.
She's a huge part of that movie. It's a wonderful performance.
She even like refamiliarized herself with Spanish so she could
really sound like a native speaker, and man, she was good.
And her co star Carlo Sophia Gascone is the first
openly trans woman to ever be nominated. Zoey Saldanya the songs.
(06:04):
We've got a lot of international film nominations, we've got
no Selena, And.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, she just got an engagement ring from Benny Blocker,
so she didn't win that.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Fair enough, She's winning still, She's.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Still winning in life. Right, Okay, No, it sucks.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Let me tell you. I hate when other people win.
I hate it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You're one of those.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I am.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh those people are the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No, No, I don't hate them. I congratulate them. I
celebrate their victory. It's a weird dichotomy. Right, So, for instance,
they put out a list of like best talk show hosts, right,
there was a list that came out a couple of
weeks ago, best talk shows, And I do a show,
a weekday show, and.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We ended up like nineteenth. You know how much that
made me mad? That made me so angry.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I don't know. Maybe I don't even remember. Maybe it
was eighteen. It just makes me. He's so mad, so mad.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You're a loser.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm competitive.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It's not because, for instance, it was like midday shows
are right, right, So Garyan Shannon were way up on top,
and I'm so excited for Garyan Shannon. I absolutely adore
those two as human beings. I want to see great
success come to them. That is magnificent. I don't want
to take anything away from them. I want to beat them.
(07:28):
I want to beat them so bad. And I don't
even mind, no, I do mind. I mind losing, but
at least I placed. Right, it's like top twenty talk
show hosts or whatever in the country, whatever, And and
again I admit, in the top twenty, that's fine, okay, good,
It's not good enough, not good enough for me, and
it keeps me focused. I want to do better, and
(07:50):
I want to celebrate their wins. What really pisses me
off is when I'm ignored. And there were a few years.
It's been a while, but they there's another publication that
you to put out the top one hundred talk show hosts.
And I was on that for a few years, and
then I switched jobs and all of a sudden, I
wasn't on that list anymore. And it's very political, but
(08:11):
it doesn't matter. It made me so mad, How dear,
what you think these turkeys are better than I? You've
never listened to my show, because if you had, you
know I'm way better than this.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Bugger eater over here.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
I love your show, by the way, it's the only
thing I listened during the week.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
I wish you guys would go to fource. I could
just turn over to Conway right there. Yeah, but I'm
I'm bank you maad that you didn't get this award.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I'm really I should have been higher on that list.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And it does make it easier if I lose to
people I like, I will say that and and then
I and here's the other thing that feels really weird.
I start to feel bad for friends of mine that
don't make the list, Like I got another buddy that
does at midday show in Dallas. He didn't make the list,
and I.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, two things.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
One, he's the kind of guy that you got to
rub it in and I was like, hey, nice job
on the honorable mention. So I did send him a message,
But otherwise I genuinely feel bad. I want him to
have some something to celebrate too. I just don't want
to lose to it, right, I want to I want
to place ahead of everybody else.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, I'm that guy.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So when it comes to these snubs, I get why
people get upset that they didn't you know, they get
left off the list.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That that hurts, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Can celebrate somebody else and also feel like I got host.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Denzel Washington riat or two. Uh oh, he made that movie.
That was the only reason I watched it. I kept
watching it.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
He wasn't a fan.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Is not safe to say Denzel Washington was amazing in
that film.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah, I mean because I love Paramount. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Of course it was Gladiator, but with a two after it,
that's it. It was the same movie, and Denzel really
brought some new energy to it, and for the Academy
to not recognize him's actually kind of surprising.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Well, well, good luck that's accomplished.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Anyway, I'm not worried about Oh yeah, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No, No, he didn't go there to be fine. You
know what he'll be fine is he'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
As somebody collecting a paycheck.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Then Tel Washington doesn't go into a project thinking this
will be a nice payday. He goes into it thinking
I'm gonna be freaking amazing, and then he gets ignored.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Boy, I'm really hot about this. You really are. I
really am.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
So my question is to you, like, if you know
the actual artist being nominated, does that make you like
root for them even more?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Like I felt like I genuinely am incredibly happy for
Gary and Shannon, and I think I would. I don't
feel bad finishing behind them. But there were other people
on this list that I was like, I've heard that show.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's terrible. You're not even listening.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
This is somebody's agent called somebody at a at a
sitting at a meeting and said, hey, you gotta put
my guys on the list too. I just hate that
irks me less. It's my agent making the call and
I end up on the list. I don't deserve to
be on. I'm fine with that. Whatever it takes to win,
that's what I want.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I think you're right. I think that does have a
lot to oh.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
My gosh, yeah, uh huh, especially that top one hundreds.
I know that the publisher is not listening to all
those shows. No way, too many shows to be listening
to all the time. To make a judgment, you just
got to lean on who was on it last year
and throw somebody else in there.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Every year, that's what they do, and then you think
they sometimes like, ah, they won it already, who cares this?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Give it to you? Oh yeah, I do think.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I think that happens in the Academy Awards too, for sure,
Right yeah, make Good Awards.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I think that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Speaking of winning, a couple of reality stars really looking
to win, and if they do, it's.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Gonna cost you. That's next. Chris Merril k IF I
AM six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Chris Merril, caf I AM six forty. There's no business
like she.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
News of Note Tinciltown and beyond.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
How about a couple of reality celebrities that are going
for the wind, this time against the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 10 (12:11):
A reality TV couple among some close to twenty people
suing the city of LA after losing their homes in
the Palisades fire. The Hill Stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi
Montag are seeking compensation for property damage. Their lawsuit alleges
the city's water supply system failed because it wasn't designed
to combat severe wildfires. They say the setting in As
(12:31):
Reservoir was offline as a cost saving measure, leaving firefighters
with little to no water to fight the fire. The
LADWP says it was required to take the reservoir out
of service to make repairs to meet safe drinking water regulation.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, so it had to meet drinking water regulations, but
then there wasn't water, and then the water isn't there.
We all know what happened when the water wasn't there.
And so now you've got these celebrities are signing on.
I don't know that there'll be the last celebrities signing
onto a lawsuit. We'll see how all of the shake out,
but there are gonna be there's gonna be a lot
of finger pointing when it comes to that eating fire.
(13:05):
I think the finger pointing is going to be the
power companies. I think they're kind of narrowing down on
the power company being a part of that. But when
it comes to the policy, I think probably just going
to be a lot of.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
How did they react and was it enough? So watching
that playoff.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Speaking of the celebrities in court, Marilyn Manson's got good news.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
Marilyn Manson will not face criminal charges tied to allegations
of sexual assault the domestic violence that announcement today from
the La County DA. The case goes back more than
a decade. The identities of the women involved have not
been revealed, but Game of Thrones actor as Mae Bianco
has said she was raved by Manson and that she
(13:47):
was a part of the investigation.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The DA said today.
Speaker 11 (13:50):
The domestic violence case falls outside the Statute of Limitations
and that his office could not prove the assault charges
beyond a reasonable dat.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
All right, so oh, if he did it, sounds like
he's gonna get away with it.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah. But if there's one thing that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
We're learning from the me too era, I hope to God,
it's that if something horrible happens to you, you're gonna
come forward soon so that there is no statute of
limitation that. I know we're changing some of the statute
of limitation stuff, but just I know how difficult it is. Man,
If there's any way that you can lean on somebody
else to try to take some of that pressure off
of you and try to find your support group and
(14:30):
come out so that creeps don't do it again, it
would be amazing really. Just having known people who are
sexual assault survivors who didn't say anything, I know they
just carry that burden with him. And I hope to
God that if there's something that comes to it and said,
(14:51):
we're willing to talk about things sooner.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Speaking of.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
More celebrities finding themselves in the wrong end of the law,
how do you say his name is asap Rocky.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yes, that's how you say his name.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
Well, yeah, just asap Rocky, not all the eight you did, great?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Sorry, just a dollar sign eight yeah a sap Rocky. Okay,
asap Rocky. All right, So he is, uh, he's.
Speaker 12 (15:18):
Going to try dodging cameras and pushing past a flurry
of reporters Grammy nominated rapper Asap Rocky. It's now gearing
up for what could be another dramatic return to the
courtroom this week as he fights to clear his name
and an explosive assault trial. Rocky, whose legal name is
forre Kim Meyers, pleaded not guilty to two felony counts
of assault, accused of shooting his former friend Terrell Ephron,
(15:40):
also a fellow rapper known as asap Relly.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You know, but Asap Rocky shot asap Relly yep, okay,
allegedly are they fighting over the name? There's a lot
of asaps there are?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Is that is.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Asap kind of the the twenty twenties version of Lil Well.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
They've been out for a long time. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Don't know if we had, like, you know, there's Lil Wayne,
Little Bow Wow, little little Feet.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
I don't think there's as many aces as there are
a little but Asap Rocky is actually Rihanna's man. They
have children together, what it is? Yeah, they have two kids. Yes,
I'll keep you hip.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Is it a weird thing because I know that there's
there's such a thing in the rap community as street
cred and the idea that you are hard means you know,
don't mess with me, You're gonna get shot. But then
when you allegedly do such a thing, then all of
a sudden you got a face trial and be like, no, I.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Does that hurt your street credit or is that just
kind of part of the part of the whole thing, Like, yeah,
you gotta fight it.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
That was the next question, Right, it can't harm you
and in the street credit and rap doesn't necessarily go
hand in hand.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It doesn't, it does not. But what about his style.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Though, no, he actually doesn't do too much streets.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I don't know a thing about Okay, okay, yeah, it
wasn't like fifty cents thing like he he was shot
X amount of times and then people.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
I think it was more than nine.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Nine number nine, number nine.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
So the a SAP being to answer your question, asap
mob is a hip hop collective and there's rappers, directors,
fashion designers, but they all give themselves that a SAP
as a like way to like, uh identify themselves that
they're this crew.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Do you have to get do you have to be
like uh initiated?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Well, they're New York City guys, so oh, Okay, can
we have like asap jay z Jesus?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I mean, if you ever joined them? I'm yeah, if
he joins them, does he does he? Does he have
to get like jumped in? Does he have to like
stand on three?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
That's not a thing.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
I think it's just talent and having you know, the
type of music style that they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
The kind that can take a beating, No, the kind.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
That can flow to a beat nicely in the way
that they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay, I just don't know how it works.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It's all good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm not doubting your talent. I'm just wondering what the
culture is. That's all.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
We're combining to cultures.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
There's music and then there street and people conflict those
sometimes in the rap community. But it's not a flat
the rappers can. But you know how some rock stars are.
Aren't all druggies? And you know they are not all
of them? No, let me name one. What about the
guy with the tongue from Kissing Simmons?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Okay, all right, I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Know Gene Simmons, wasn't the tongue? Who the other one?
Paul what's his name?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
No? Not Paul, Sure, Paul Sure?
Speaker 9 (18:44):
I think I was thinking of Gen Simmons. I think
he is the tongue guy from Kiss Well whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
No total drug addicts, Yeah, absolutely, Okay, I don't know
that for sure, but I don't. Are you telling me
no rock stars in the eighties.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Yeah, the arch does not always imitate life. Guys. It's
that that's simple.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Mmmm. That's not really right.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
That's overthinking. That's okay, that's right.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I think you gotta go to hardship, you gotta. I
think you gotta go through some hardship to find good art.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I really do.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I think that's definitely true.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, I do so.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean they if they're if they're lying about their
their cred, then then that's uh, that's stolen Valord.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
That's kind of what happened to Drake. That's why he's
he's currently canceled because Kendrick called him out on it.
This is your life, man, go back to Canada. He
pretty not like us, exactly, not like us, and they
not like us because we have to go to commercial break.
We are way past time, believe it.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Oh, we gotta get to bridgeta k if I am
six forty live everywhere I mean, I heard ready to
tell you if your house is going to fall into
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Next you're listening to k if I am six forty
on demand.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
A right, Christopher can'f I am six forty more stimulating
talk is always pleasure being with you here. Kayla made
I think a pretty uninformed statement in our life segment,
and I thought that if you're going to be a
successful rapper, you had to have street cred. And that
(20:08):
means that asap Rocky who's being looked at for or
on trial for shooting somebody, right, were firing at somebody.
I guess I said, well, that like that's street cred,
and Kyler said, no, you you have to separate street
from the art, and a lot of people don't really
get that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And then she said, would you how did you say it?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Does that mean all rock and rollers have to be
like hard party and drug addicts?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, I said.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Paul Stanley was the guy who was thinking of I couldn't.
I couldn't think you were talking about kiss and uh,
it's Paul Stanley. Couldn't remember the last name at the time.
So I think you have a gross misunderstanding of rock
and roll. You do in fact, we had somebody hit
us up on the talk back too.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Kayla, if you're in rock and roll, it's like a
law you must do drugs. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, actually not.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
My husband is in the music industry. He's an artist,
and the label will literally give you a character in
a role to play. They'll be like, we are looking
for an artist to do this, this, and this. It's
the same with pop stars. They're not all what you
think they are.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
Well says, it's a law, and I think that she
clearly knows what she's talking about talking about.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah she knows. Yeah, No, don't I know that you're
speaking for big record right now.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I'm just try to cover because we know what we
know what the deal is.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Definitely, we know what the deal is.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I'm a rock star and I'm on drugs right now,
so that's right.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
And then what happens is you put out a bad
album and then you go to rehab, and then you
have a comeback album and everybody praises the comeback album.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
We do love a good comeback.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
YEP, exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
So CAB, I feel like we need to have a
cultural exchange program where I learn a little bit more
about street versus art. When it comes to rap and
you learn a little bit about sex, drugs and rock
and roll.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I agree.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Only only thing I know is that as the asbourney
and an owl on stage in that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Solid it was a batch.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Oh okay, See, I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Know when you you learn your history. Man, I'm telling
you you are tough.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
How bat potato potato.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Wings flying, We're all the same.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Uh, there is a chance that your house falls into
the ocean. Uh really sorry about this. The mudslide threat
is on because of well, fire and rain and.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Other James Taylor songs.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
Free flows by preparing hillsides like the one just here
behind us. You can see they have carts and sandbags
on the ground. And if we swing our camera this
way around on the other side of sunset here, you can.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
See I can't it's radio exactly why.
Speaker 13 (22:52):
That combination of scorched till sides and rain is proving
to be a dangerous mix. With the ground here already
charred and disintegrated. Residents are preparing for what could come next,
hoping to avoid another disaster. After the wildfire's rain started
to fall across La County last night, and in areas
like this recently burned by the Palisades fire. There's an
(23:14):
increased risk of mud and debris flows right now. The
charred soil repels water, causing it to rush downhill, carrying rocks, mud, branches,
and sometimes boulders with it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's not that it just repels water.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
You also have roots that allow for the mud to
slip and slide around. I mean, do you ever make
a sand castle as a kid. It's just like when
the waves would come up and hit your sand castle,
and then all of a sudden, the sand gets wet
and slides right out of there. But if all of
a sudden you have something holding that sand together, that
doesn't happen so much.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right, what are some of the people saying that
it's worrying?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
And of course we're also really half our houses on.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Our neighborhood on Pleasantana or gone, so that's really hard.
Speaker 14 (23:53):
But yeah, our house surprised when you can survived and
now we're worried about the rain.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
It's a very fat.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And not only that, but think about the houses that
were damaged by the fire, even not necessarily destroyed, and
now you're gonna add water to that.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So that's not good for that's not good for salvaging, and.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
With more rain in the forecast today, a floodwatch is
in effect, as we just heard Casey mentioned, through Monday afternoon. Residents,
especially those in these recently burned areas, are urged to
be alert, use sandbags to protect their property, and stuck
up on food and supplies in case road access is limited.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Okay, if you're stocking up on food and supplies, what
food are you getting for some reason? Everybody I see
this all the time. They all run and they get bread, milk,
and eggs. One, you can't afford the eggs. Two, don't
don't get fresh stuff, get canned stuff. You don't want
stuff that's gonna go bad. Because if you can't get through,
(24:54):
there's a good chance you don't have power. And if
you don't have power, you can't.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Keep the eggs cold. You can't keep the milk cold.
And you didn't want to do that. Don't do that.
Get water and.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Can goods and then use uber eats. Make somebody bring
it to you. It's their problem if the thing can't
get through, and if they can't get through, then then
that's their phone. They should give you a coupon for
a free meal, and I'm standing by that we'll have
a chance to talk with the great doctor Wendy Walsh.
Doctor Wendy after Dark comes at us here at seven o'clock,
(25:23):
and I have to wonder about the first love theory.
If you've been on TikTok since it came back, was resurrected,
then you would know some of us are still hung
up on somebody that we used to know. We'll see
if doctor Wendy agrees with this latest TikTok theory. Next,
Chris Merril, k I AM six forty. We're live everywhere
on the iHeart Radio Apple.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand KFI.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
AM six forty more stimulating talk. I'm Chris Merrill. Congratulations
to my good friend Raoul.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
His football team just made it to the Super Bowl
or the third straight year and they could be the
first time. I'm three Peters. There's the Chiefs head there
yet again, so no doubt dynasty. Congratulations on your team
being chosen by God. Thank you, well done, well done,
and I'm glad I got to share that with you. Cayla,
I am so glad you're back. I miss you when
(26:15):
you're gone. Yeah, the other producers do a great job,
but you're my girl.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
This is so true, true.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I just love it. Andina, thanks for the insight on
the rock and roll industry. I had no idea. I
had no idea.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Love it, love it when you enter into the program
as well.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Uh what Cayla would you tell me Blake Lively and
Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, I'm supposed to talk about them? Well, that was
everybody hates Blake Lively right now.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I don't you got to read her comments. Everybody hates her.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
But that was you asked for suggestions, and that was
that was what I was giving you off the air.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
That was sorry, you are to say that on the microphone.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I'm on team Blake though, Yeah, I'm my team Blake.
Yes that is Oh, doctor Wendy. Oh hey, doctor Wendy. Hi, Hey,
nice to talk to you. You make my night because
I wanted some I wanted some free advice.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Again. Oh, I was reading about it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
By the way, doctor Wendy Walsh, Doctor Wendy after Dark
starts here at seven o'clock, so you're gonna want to
hear that. But I'm so excited to talk to you
because I was reading about a new TikTok trend. You
know how much I love these?
Speaker 14 (27:22):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It's the men's first love theory and then diving into
it deeper. Some say that it's not just men, it's
sort of a first love theory. The theory is that
both men and women will always remember and think about
their first love.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
They say that people don't get over their first love.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And evidently everyone from that point forward is then being
compared to the first love. Memories don't necessarily mean the
first true love, but they experts agree that everyone lingers
on thoughts of their first love because nostalgia and the
emotions associated.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
With love are powerful forces.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
So is this just like that that got piece I,
you know, caught up on somebody that you used to know.
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I'm just happy that men have the same experience as
women if I haven't seen the data on it, but yeah,
for women.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 14 (28:13):
I want you to think of love as like your
first big drug trip.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
Right.
Speaker 14 (28:19):
It's a bunch of neuro hormones that attacks the brain
and it gets very very exciting, and the first time
it happens, remember, you're usually a teenager or young adult
when your hormones are flying pretty wild. So it's quite
a high, it's quite a trip, and for the rest
of your life you have strong emotional feelings connected to
(28:41):
that chemical reaction.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Okay, so then is it justifiable, I mean, rather, is
it accurate to say that we compare relationship now?
Speaker 14 (28:49):
Now, I think what we're doing is we're trying to
search for that same feeling again in ourself, right, So
we're thinking, oh, well, if I meet this person, maybe
they'll give me that same high, all right, which isn't
really fair because you're never going to feel it again.
And that's why one of the reasons why sometimes middle
aged people there's a trend when they divorce, they go retrosexual.
(29:12):
They go on to Facebook, they find their high school
or college sweetheart and they try to reconnect, and that's
their brain trying to get those feelings back again.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Well, that's interesting. I guess I always thought I had
to do with like familiarity. In other words, we don't
like the dating game. We don't really want to start
from scratch and get to know somebody, So let's go
to somebody that we already have some familiarity with.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
But it's actually chasing the feelings.
Speaker 14 (29:34):
Maybe guys think that, maybe guys are lazy and they
think that, but women.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Are all like, oh, it was hot in college.
Speaker 14 (29:40):
I wonder if he still is.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
One of the things that my wife warned me about
when we were engaged and we were getting married, and
she said, as soon as the engagement is announced, you're
going to have exes that are going to reach out
to you.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And I said, why would they do that?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
She says, because it's territorial, and I went, no, no,
by God, she was right.
Speaker 14 (29:58):
You are now woman approved.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
That's what it is.
Speaker 14 (30:01):
So the difference is men tend to devalue a woman
who's had a lot of mates, right because it's a
whole anthropological thing, and sharing her eggs with the team,
et cetera means he's not sure paternity. But women like
a guy who is woman approved. And so the same
thing happened with my Julio. After we got engaged. Some
(30:21):
of them started circling back around.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Really yeah, yep.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Huh, And that's got to be evolutionary right where Yeah,
it means that as a suitable mate, Like I didn't
know if he was suitable, but somebody else says he's suitable,
so he.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Must must be right.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I don't like evolution in my love life. I feel
like it's getting in the way of love thing.
Speaker 14 (30:41):
It's in every behavior we do, it really is.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I don't find myself thinking about the love that I
had in high school and college. Actually, I've been married
for a long time, and I know that you forgot.
I guess i've forgotten. Well, here's the other thing. I
cherished the contentment that I feel and I don't know.
Maybe that sounds unromantic.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
That's sweet, but I contendent means you're boring, but I
know it means it's sure safe.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
That's a good word.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Mature.
Speaker 14 (31:11):
Companionate love is what a healthy relationship evolves into. I mean,
when you first date somebody, it's ninety percent about six sex,
ten percent about the emotional experience. After a number of
years or decades, it's less than ten percent about the sex, sorry,
young people, and about ninety percent about the companionship.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Okay, well maybe I've just maybe my hormones have changed,
so I don't need to worry about the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I'm happy with the companionship.
Speaker 14 (31:37):
Maybe that's it, you know, in a relationship, is an
exchange of care. Sexual care is just one of the
many ways that we care for each other in life.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
This is why I love talking to you.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
That's why I love listening to Doctor Wendy after Dark
starts right after we check on news.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Doctor Wendy have a great show.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Thank you so much, appreciate that until next week. Chris
Merril k if I am six forty, we live everwhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Hefi a M six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Rating coming down across the area.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
So we're cut of water, not Orange County getting head
pretty pretty good right now, and everybody's paying real close attention.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What's gonna happen with the mud signs.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
We'll talk more about that a little bit later on
on Chris merrilkaf I AM six forty. More stimulating talk
and there is no business lie business Big week. As
the Oscar nominations came out, and then of course the
Oscar snubs came out. I always loved the snubs. That's better.
I you have to be totally honest, I've seen so
(00:35):
few of these.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh God, Kayla, am I alone on this. I feel
like we've got a very.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Uh, I'm not gonna call it artsy list, but I'm
gonna say that it is. We're certainly not seeing the
blockbusters on there.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
They were. Gladiator Too wasn't in the Best Picture list.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
It was not.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I don't think so. No, Wicked Wise.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Though, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, Dune Part two was on the best Pick your list.
I know that, Emilia Perez, that is the uh.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
The film is that it's I don't want to misstate
this is that the one that is kind of a
transgender coming of age sort of situation is that the
deal on a musical about a drug kingpin who undergoes
gender affirming surgery.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Maybe not coming of age, then uh so that sounds fun.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I thought you're still talking about The Dunes.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm like, wait, no, no, no, dud no, that's not
dude that got thirteen nominations. So drug kingpin undergoing gender
affirming surgery, they got thirteen nominations. The Brutalist, which interests
me in the same way that Oppenheimer did. I thought
Oppenheimer was a great film. I was really interested in
seeing it, but I'll be honest, I saw Barbie first.
(01:46):
The reason is I just don't like making a three
plus hour commitment.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
To a movie.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Half the time when I'm when I'm going through my
my Amazon Prime or Hulu or something and I'm looking
at them, Oh that was two hours and ten minutes.
That's too long. I don't want to do that. I
like a nice, tight one. That's what I want to
see this deal with The Brutal. The Brutalist is three
and a half hours. Somebody I was listening, I don't
(02:16):
know if they were joking or not. I was listening
to somebody discussing it. They said, it's goin an intermission.
Have you heard that that the Brutalist has an intermission?
Speaker 6 (02:23):
I believe Wicked has one too, Hey, guys.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Wicked's and musical. All musicals have to have intermissions. You'll
get more mic and ikes.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I'm with you, though, I have the three hours is so.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Long, Oh so long. We don't have the attentions.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I have a TikTok attention span. Okay, three hours exact
the day of tiktoking.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Here's what the Brutalist has going for it for me,
all right. First of all, has Adrian Brody in it,
who's also been nominated. I love Adrian Brody. I think
he's amazing. Second, it's a historical epic. Okay, I'm in.
I love those. So it's got a couple of things.
But I'm gonna throw this in the categor that I
like to call airplane movie. This is the kind of
(03:03):
thing that I put on when I'm taking a cross
country flight. So if this is available on American in April,
I'm taking a little trip to my hometown in Michigan,
and so maybe if I can catch a flight out
of Grand Rapids back then I can.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I can watch The Brutalist if it's available.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Otherwise, I just I don't like to sit still for
three and a half hours.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yeah, three and a half. Oh, I thought it was three.
That was bad enough. Three and a half that's wild.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's too much, too much. But if it's good then
I will remain rapped.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
So a Nora Brutalist, Complete Unknown Conclave, which I think
is available on one of the streaming services. Now I'm
got to take a look at that. I think even
maybe it's Peacock that has that. I thought I saw.
I'm still here, Nickel Boys, The Substance, as well as
others that I mentioned. Best Director again from Amelia Perez,
Anora's director, Brutalist director and the Substance director and a Complete
(04:08):
Unknown director, although I believe it Complete Unknown is the
only of those that did not get nominated for Best Picture.
So Adrian Brody, like I said, for Best Actor, roll
fines for Conclave.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Coleman Domingo from Sing Sing.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
If you're not familiar, Coleman Domingo is the guy he
was on Fear of the Walking Dead. A great actor
like him, A lot anyway, seeing a number of these
that and again a lot of these come out late
in the year. They do that on purpose. If you
have a long film, or if you think that you're
gonna have a film that is really gonna stand a
(04:43):
chance in the awards and you're gonna you're gonna push
for it. If you're the studio, you release that in
November December because you want it to be fresh in
the voter's minds. Rarely do we see a film that
is released in well, you never see it in in
February or March. Right you start to see things start
coming out like Blockbusters season in May, but for the
(05:04):
most part, you've just never seen anything that's released like
right now that ends up in the awards. So it
also means that as a as a viewer, you haven't
had time for this to come out on streaming. If
you didn't see in the theater, maybe you haven't seen
it on streaming. So for a lot of people, just
y'all get a chance to see these movies before they hit.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The the Oscars.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Meanwhile, Kikel was talking about these snubs for the Oscar.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Nominations to feel sad for the people who are left
out of like such a fun thing. They're in these movies.
Chances are their friends and their co workers have got
nominations and they don't.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
First one on my mind is Selena Gomez mist out
for Amilia Perez. Now that's the most nominated movie this year, but.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
They forgot her.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Sure did well, and she's a big part of that movie.
She's a huge part of that movie. It's a wonderful performance.
She even like refamiliarized herself with Spanish so she could
really sound like a native speaker, and man, she was good.
And her co star Carlo Sophia Gascone is the first
openly trans woman to ever be nominated. Zoey Saldanya the songs.
(06:04):
We've got a lot of international film nominations, we've got
no Selena, And.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, she just got an engagement ring from Benny Blocker,
so she didn't win that.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Fair enough, She's winning still, She's.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Still winning in life. Right, Okay, No, it sucks.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Let me tell you. I hate when other people win.
I hate it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You're one of those.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I am.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh those people are the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No, No, I don't hate them. I congratulate them. I
celebrate their victory. It's a weird dichotomy. Right, So, for instance,
they put out a list of like best talk show hosts, right,
there was a list that came out a couple of
weeks ago, best talk shows, And I do a show,
a weekday show, and.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We ended up like nineteenth. You know how much that
made me mad? That made me so angry.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I don't know. Maybe I don't even remember. Maybe it
was eighteen. It just makes me. He's so mad, so mad.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You're a loser.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm competitive.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It's not because, for instance, it was like midday shows
are right, right, So Garyan Shannon were way up on top,
and I'm so excited for Garyan Shannon. I absolutely adore
those two as human beings. I want to see great
success come to them. That is magnificent. I don't want
to take anything away from them. I want to beat them.
(07:28):
I want to beat them so bad. And I don't
even mind, no, I do mind. I mind losing, but
at least I placed. Right, it's like top twenty talk
show hosts or whatever in the country, whatever, And and
again I admit, in the top twenty, that's fine, okay, good,
It's not good enough, not good enough for me, and
it keeps me focused. I want to do better, and
(07:50):
I want to celebrate their wins. What really pisses me
off is when I'm ignored. And there were a few years.
It's been a while, but they there's another publication that
you to put out the top one hundred talk show hosts.
And I was on that for a few years, and
then I switched jobs and all of a sudden, I
wasn't on that list anymore. And it's very political, but
(08:11):
it doesn't matter. It made me so mad, How dear,
what you think these turkeys are better than I? You've
never listened to my show, because if you had, you
know I'm way better than this.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Bugger eater over here.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
I love your show, by the way, it's the only
thing I listened during the week.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
I wish you guys would go to fource. I could
just turn over to Conway right there. Yeah, but I'm
I'm bank you maad that you didn't get this award.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I'm really I should have been higher on that list.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And it does make it easier if I lose to
people I like, I will say that and and then
I and here's the other thing that feels really weird.
I start to feel bad for friends of mine that
don't make the list, Like I got another buddy that
does at midday show in Dallas. He didn't make the list,
and I.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, two things.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
One, he's the kind of guy that you got to
rub it in and I was like, hey, nice job
on the honorable mention. So I did send him a message,
But otherwise I genuinely feel bad. I want him to
have some something to celebrate too. I just don't want
to lose to it, right, I want to I want
to place ahead of everybody else.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, I'm that guy.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So when it comes to these snubs, I get why
people get upset that they didn't you know, they get
left off the list.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That that hurts, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Can celebrate somebody else and also feel like I got host.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Denzel Washington riat or two. Uh oh, he made that movie.
That was the only reason I watched it. I kept
watching it.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
He wasn't a fan.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Is not safe to say Denzel Washington was amazing in
that film.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah, I mean because I love Paramount. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Of course it was Gladiator, but with a two after it,
that's it. It was the same movie, and Denzel really
brought some new energy to it, and for the Academy
to not recognize him's actually kind of surprising.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Well, well, good luck that's accomplished.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Anyway, I'm not worried about Oh yeah, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No, No, he didn't go there to be fine. You
know what he'll be fine is he'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
As somebody collecting a paycheck.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Then Tel Washington doesn't go into a project thinking this
will be a nice payday. He goes into it thinking
I'm gonna be freaking amazing, and then he gets ignored.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Boy, I'm really hot about this. You really are. I
really am.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
So my question is to you, like, if you know
the actual artist being nominated, does that make you like
root for them even more?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Like I felt like I genuinely am incredibly happy for
Gary and Shannon, and I think I would. I don't
feel bad finishing behind them. But there were other people
on this list that I was like, I've heard that show.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's terrible. You're not even listening.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
This is somebody's agent called somebody at a at a
sitting at a meeting and said, hey, you gotta put
my guys on the list too. I just hate that
irks me less. It's my agent making the call and
I end up on the list. I don't deserve to
be on. I'm fine with that. Whatever it takes to win,
that's what I want.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I think you're right. I think that does have a
lot to oh.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
My gosh, yeah, uh huh, especially that top one hundreds.
I know that the publisher is not listening to all
those shows. No way, too many shows to be listening
to all the time. To make a judgment, you just
got to lean on who was on it last year
and throw somebody else in there.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Every year, that's what they do, and then you think
they sometimes like, ah, they won it already, who cares this?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Give it to you? Oh yeah, I do think.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I think that happens in the Academy Awards too, for sure,
Right yeah, make Good Awards.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I think that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Speaking of winning, a couple of reality stars really looking
to win, and if they do, it's.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Gonna cost you. That's next. Chris Merril k IF I
AM six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Chris Merril, caf I AM six forty. There's no business
like she.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
News of Note Tinciltown and beyond.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
How about a couple of reality celebrities that are going
for the wind, this time against the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 10 (12:11):
A reality TV couple among some close to twenty people
suing the city of LA after losing their homes in
the Palisades fire. The Hill Stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi
Montag are seeking compensation for property damage. Their lawsuit alleges
the city's water supply system failed because it wasn't designed
to combat severe wildfires. They say the setting in As
(12:31):
Reservoir was offline as a cost saving measure, leaving firefighters
with little to no water to fight the fire. The
LADWP says it was required to take the reservoir out
of service to make repairs to meet safe drinking water regulation.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, so it had to meet drinking water regulations, but
then there wasn't water, and then the water isn't there.
We all know what happened when the water wasn't there.
And so now you've got these celebrities are signing on.
I don't know that there'll be the last celebrities signing
onto a lawsuit. We'll see how all of the shake out,
but there are gonna be there's gonna be a lot
of finger pointing when it comes to that eating fire.
(13:05):
I think the finger pointing is going to be the
power companies. I think they're kind of narrowing down on
the power company being a part of that. But when
it comes to the policy, I think probably just going
to be a lot of.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
How did they react and was it enough? So watching
that playoff.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Speaking of the celebrities in court, Marilyn Manson's got good news.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
Marilyn Manson will not face criminal charges tied to allegations
of sexual assault the domestic violence that announcement today from
the La County DA. The case goes back more than
a decade. The identities of the women involved have not
been revealed, but Game of Thrones actor as Mae Bianco
has said she was raved by Manson and that she
(13:47):
was a part of the investigation.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The DA said today.
Speaker 11 (13:50):
The domestic violence case falls outside the Statute of Limitations
and that his office could not prove the assault charges
beyond a reasonable dat.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
All right, so oh, if he did it, sounds like
he's gonna get away with it.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah. But if there's one thing that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
We're learning from the me too era, I hope to God,
it's that if something horrible happens to you, you're gonna
come forward soon so that there is no statute of
limitation that. I know we're changing some of the statute
of limitation stuff, but just I know how difficult it is. Man,
If there's any way that you can lean on somebody
else to try to take some of that pressure off
of you and try to find your support group and
(14:30):
come out so that creeps don't do it again, it
would be amazing really. Just having known people who are
sexual assault survivors who didn't say anything, I know they
just carry that burden with him. And I hope to
God that if there's something that comes to it and said,
(14:51):
we're willing to talk about things sooner.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Speaking of.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
More celebrities finding themselves in the wrong end of the law,
how do you say his name is asap Rocky.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yes, that's how you say his name.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
Well, yeah, just asap Rocky, not all the eight you did, great?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Sorry, just a dollar sign eight yeah a sap Rocky. Okay,
asap Rocky. All right, So he is, uh, he's.
Speaker 12 (15:18):
Going to try dodging cameras and pushing past a flurry
of reporters Grammy nominated rapper Asap Rocky. It's now gearing
up for what could be another dramatic return to the
courtroom this week as he fights to clear his name
and an explosive assault trial. Rocky, whose legal name is
forre Kim Meyers, pleaded not guilty to two felony counts
of assault, accused of shooting his former friend Terrell Ephron,
(15:40):
also a fellow rapper known as asap Relly.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You know, but Asap Rocky shot asap Relly yep, okay,
allegedly are they fighting over the name? There's a lot
of asaps there are?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Is that is.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Asap kind of the the twenty twenties version of Lil Well.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
They've been out for a long time. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Don't know if we had, like, you know, there's Lil Wayne,
Little Bow Wow, little little Feet.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
I don't think there's as many aces as there are
a little but Asap Rocky is actually Rihanna's man. They
have children together, what it is? Yeah, they have two kids. Yes,
I'll keep you hip.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Is it a weird thing because I know that there's
there's such a thing in the rap community as street
cred and the idea that you are hard means you know,
don't mess with me, You're gonna get shot. But then
when you allegedly do such a thing, then all of
a sudden you got a face trial and be like, no, I.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Does that hurt your street credit or is that just
kind of part of the part of the whole thing, Like, yeah,
you gotta fight it.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
That was the next question, Right, it can't harm you
and in the street credit and rap doesn't necessarily go
hand in hand.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It doesn't, it does not. But what about his style.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Though, no, he actually doesn't do too much streets.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I don't know a thing about Okay, okay, yeah, it
wasn't like fifty cents thing like he he was shot
X amount of times and then people.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
I think it was more than nine.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Nine number nine, number nine.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
So the a SAP being to answer your question, asap
mob is a hip hop collective and there's rappers, directors,
fashion designers, but they all give themselves that a SAP
as a like way to like, uh identify themselves that
they're this crew.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Do you have to get do you have to be
like uh initiated?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Well, they're New York City guys, so oh, Okay, can
we have like asap jay z Jesus?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I mean, if you ever joined them? I'm yeah, if
he joins them, does he does he? Does he have
to get like jumped in? Does he have to like
stand on three?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
That's not a thing.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
I think it's just talent and having you know, the
type of music style that they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
The kind that can take a beating, No, the kind.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
That can flow to a beat nicely in the way
that they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay, I just don't know how it works.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It's all good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm not doubting your talent. I'm just wondering what the
culture is. That's all.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
We're combining to cultures.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
There's music and then there street and people conflict those
sometimes in the rap community. But it's not a flat
the rappers can. But you know how some rock stars are.
Aren't all druggies? And you know they are not all
of them? No, let me name one. What about the
guy with the tongue from Kissing Simmons?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Okay, all right, I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Know Gene Simmons, wasn't the tongue? Who the other one?
Paul what's his name?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
No? Not Paul, Sure, Paul Sure?
Speaker 9 (18:44):
I think I was thinking of Gen Simmons. I think
he is the tongue guy from Kiss Well whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
No total drug addicts, Yeah, absolutely, Okay, I don't know
that for sure, but I don't. Are you telling me
no rock stars in the eighties.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Yeah, the arch does not always imitate life. Guys. It's
that that's simple.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Mmmm. That's not really right.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
That's overthinking. That's okay, that's right.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I think you gotta go to hardship, you gotta. I
think you gotta go through some hardship to find good art.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I really do.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I think that's definitely true.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, I do so.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean they if they're if they're lying about their
their cred, then then that's uh, that's stolen Valord.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
That's kind of what happened to Drake. That's why he's
he's currently canceled because Kendrick called him out on it.
This is your life, man, go back to Canada. He
pretty not like us, exactly, not like us, and they
not like us because we have to go to commercial break.
We are way past time, believe it.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Oh, we gotta get to bridgeta k if I am
six forty live everywhere I mean, I heard ready to
tell you if your house is going to fall into
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Next you're listening to k if I am six forty
on demand.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
A right, Christopher can'f I am six forty more stimulating
talk is always pleasure being with you here. Kayla made
I think a pretty uninformed statement in our life segment,
and I thought that if you're going to be a
successful rapper, you had to have street cred. And that
(20:08):
means that asap Rocky who's being looked at for or
on trial for shooting somebody, right, were firing at somebody.
I guess I said, well, that like that's street cred,
and Kyler said, no, you you have to separate street
from the art, and a lot of people don't really
get that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And then she said, would you how did you say it?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Does that mean all rock and rollers have to be
like hard party and drug addicts?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, I said.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Paul Stanley was the guy who was thinking of I couldn't.
I couldn't think you were talking about kiss and uh,
it's Paul Stanley. Couldn't remember the last name at the time.
So I think you have a gross misunderstanding of rock
and roll. You do in fact, we had somebody hit
us up on the talk back too.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Kayla, if you're in rock and roll, it's like a
law you must do drugs. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, actually not.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
My husband is in the music industry. He's an artist,
and the label will literally give you a character in
a role to play. They'll be like, we are looking
for an artist to do this, this, and this. It's
the same with pop stars. They're not all what you
think they are.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
Well says, it's a law, and I think that she
clearly knows what she's talking about talking about.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah she knows. Yeah, No, don't I know that you're
speaking for big record right now.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I'm just try to cover because we know what we
know what the deal is.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Definitely, we know what the deal is.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I'm a rock star and I'm on drugs right now,
so that's right.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
And then what happens is you put out a bad
album and then you go to rehab, and then you
have a comeback album and everybody praises the comeback album.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
We do love a good comeback.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
YEP, exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
So CAB, I feel like we need to have a
cultural exchange program where I learn a little bit more
about street versus art. When it comes to rap and
you learn a little bit about sex, drugs and rock
and roll.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I agree.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Only only thing I know is that as the asbourney
and an owl on stage in that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Solid it was a batch.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Oh okay, See, I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Know when you you learn your history. Man, I'm telling
you you are tough.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
How bat potato potato.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Wings flying, We're all the same.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Uh, there is a chance that your house falls into
the ocean. Uh really sorry about this. The mudslide threat
is on because of well, fire and rain and.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Other James Taylor songs.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
Free flows by preparing hillsides like the one just here
behind us. You can see they have carts and sandbags
on the ground. And if we swing our camera this
way around on the other side of sunset here, you can.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
See I can't it's radio exactly why.
Speaker 13 (22:52):
That combination of scorched till sides and rain is proving
to be a dangerous mix. With the ground here already
charred and disintegrated. Residents are preparing for what could come next,
hoping to avoid another disaster. After the wildfire's rain started
to fall across La County last night, and in areas
like this recently burned by the Palisades fire. There's an
(23:14):
increased risk of mud and debris flows right now. The
charred soil repels water, causing it to rush downhill, carrying rocks, mud, branches,
and sometimes boulders with it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's not that it just repels water.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
You also have roots that allow for the mud to
slip and slide around. I mean, do you ever make
a sand castle as a kid. It's just like when
the waves would come up and hit your sand castle,
and then all of a sudden, the sand gets wet
and slides right out of there. But if all of
a sudden you have something holding that sand together, that
doesn't happen so much.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right, what are some of the people saying that
it's worrying?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
And of course we're also really half our houses on.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Our neighborhood on Pleasantana or gone, so that's really hard.
Speaker 14 (23:53):
But yeah, our house surprised when you can survived and
now we're worried about the rain.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
It's a very fat.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And not only that, but think about the houses that
were damaged by the fire, even not necessarily destroyed, and
now you're gonna add water to that.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So that's not good for that's not good for salvaging, and.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
With more rain in the forecast today, a floodwatch is
in effect, as we just heard Casey mentioned, through Monday afternoon. Residents,
especially those in these recently burned areas, are urged to
be alert, use sandbags to protect their property, and stuck
up on food and supplies in case road access is limited.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Okay, if you're stocking up on food and supplies, what
food are you getting for some reason? Everybody I see
this all the time. They all run and they get bread, milk,
and eggs. One, you can't afford the eggs. Two, don't
don't get fresh stuff, get canned stuff. You don't want
stuff that's gonna go bad. Because if you can't get through,
(24:54):
there's a good chance you don't have power. And if
you don't have power, you can't.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Keep the eggs cold. You can't keep the milk cold.
And you didn't want to do that. Don't do that.
Get water and.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Can goods and then use uber eats. Make somebody bring
it to you. It's their problem if the thing can't
get through, and if they can't get through, then then
that's their phone. They should give you a coupon for
a free meal, and I'm standing by that we'll have
a chance to talk with the great doctor Wendy Walsh.
Doctor Wendy after Dark comes at us here at seven o'clock,
(25:23):
and I have to wonder about the first love theory.
If you've been on TikTok since it came back, was resurrected,
then you would know some of us are still hung
up on somebody that we used to know. We'll see
if doctor Wendy agrees with this latest TikTok theory. Next,
Chris Merril, k I AM six forty. We're live everywhere
on the iHeart Radio Apple.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand KFI.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
AM six forty more stimulating talk. I'm Chris Merrill. Congratulations
to my good friend Raoul.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
His football team just made it to the Super Bowl
or the third straight year and they could be the
first time. I'm three Peters. There's the Chiefs head there
yet again, so no doubt dynasty. Congratulations on your team
being chosen by God. Thank you, well done, well done,
and I'm glad I got to share that with you. Cayla,
I am so glad you're back. I miss you when
(26:15):
you're gone. Yeah, the other producers do a great job,
but you're my girl.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
This is so true, true.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I just love it. Andina, thanks for the insight on
the rock and roll industry. I had no idea. I
had no idea.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Love it, love it when you enter into the program
as well.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Uh what Cayla would you tell me Blake Lively and
Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, I'm supposed to talk about them? Well, that was
everybody hates Blake Lively right now.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I don't you got to read her comments. Everybody hates her.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
But that was you asked for suggestions, and that was
that was what I was giving you off the air.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
That was sorry, you are to say that on the microphone.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I'm on team Blake though, Yeah, I'm my team Blake.
Yes that is Oh, doctor Wendy. Oh hey, doctor Wendy. Hi, Hey,
nice to talk to you. You make my night because
I wanted some I wanted some free advice.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Again. Oh, I was reading about it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
By the way, doctor Wendy Walsh, Doctor Wendy after Dark
starts here at seven o'clock, so you're gonna want to
hear that. But I'm so excited to talk to you
because I was reading about a new TikTok trend. You
know how much I love these?
Speaker 14 (27:22):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It's the men's first love theory and then diving into
it deeper. Some say that it's not just men, it's
sort of a first love theory. The theory is that
both men and women will always remember and think about
their first love.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
They say that people don't get over their first love.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And evidently everyone from that point forward is then being
compared to the first love. Memories don't necessarily mean the
first true love, but they experts agree that everyone lingers
on thoughts of their first love because nostalgia and the
emotions associated.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
With love are powerful forces.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
So is this just like that that got piece I,
you know, caught up on somebody that you used to know.
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I'm just happy that men have the same experience as
women if I haven't seen the data on it, but yeah,
for women.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 14 (28:13):
I want you to think of love as like your
first big drug trip.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
Right.
Speaker 14 (28:19):
It's a bunch of neuro hormones that attacks the brain
and it gets very very exciting, and the first time
it happens, remember, you're usually a teenager or young adult
when your hormones are flying pretty wild. So it's quite
a high, it's quite a trip, and for the rest
of your life you have strong emotional feelings connected to
(28:41):
that chemical reaction.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Okay, so then is it justifiable, I mean, rather, is
it accurate to say that we compare relationship now?
Speaker 14 (28:49):
Now, I think what we're doing is we're trying to
search for that same feeling again in ourself, right, So
we're thinking, oh, well, if I meet this person, maybe
they'll give me that same high, all right, which isn't
really fair because you're never going to feel it again.
And that's why one of the reasons why sometimes middle
aged people there's a trend when they divorce, they go retrosexual.
(29:12):
They go on to Facebook, they find their high school
or college sweetheart and they try to reconnect, and that's
their brain trying to get those feelings back again.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Well, that's interesting. I guess I always thought I had
to do with like familiarity. In other words, we don't
like the dating game. We don't really want to start
from scratch and get to know somebody, So let's go
to somebody that we already have some familiarity with.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
But it's actually chasing the feelings.
Speaker 14 (29:34):
Maybe guys think that, maybe guys are lazy and they
think that, but women.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Are all like, oh, it was hot in college.
Speaker 14 (29:40):
I wonder if he still is.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
One of the things that my wife warned me about
when we were engaged and we were getting married, and
she said, as soon as the engagement is announced, you're
going to have exes that are going to reach out
to you.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And I said, why would they do that?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
She says, because it's territorial, and I went, no, no,
by God, she was right.
Speaker 14 (29:58):
You are now woman approved.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
That's what it is.
Speaker 14 (30:01):
So the difference is men tend to devalue a woman
who's had a lot of mates, right because it's a
whole anthropological thing, and sharing her eggs with the team,
et cetera means he's not sure paternity. But women like
a guy who is woman approved. And so the same
thing happened with my Julio. After we got engaged. Some
(30:21):
of them started circling back around.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Really yeah, yep.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Huh, And that's got to be evolutionary right where Yeah,
it means that as a suitable mate, Like I didn't
know if he was suitable, but somebody else says he's suitable,
so he.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Must must be right.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I don't like evolution in my love life. I feel
like it's getting in the way of love thing.
Speaker 14 (30:41):
It's in every behavior we do, it really is.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I don't find myself thinking about the love that I
had in high school and college. Actually, I've been married
for a long time, and I know that you forgot.
I guess i've forgotten. Well, here's the other thing. I
cherished the contentment that I feel and I don't know.
Maybe that sounds unromantic.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
That's sweet, but I contendent means you're boring, but I
know it means it's sure safe.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
That's a good word.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Mature.
Speaker 14 (31:11):
Companionate love is what a healthy relationship evolves into. I mean,
when you first date somebody, it's ninety percent about six sex,
ten percent about the emotional experience. After a number of
years or decades, it's less than ten percent about the sex, sorry,
young people, and about ninety percent about the companionship.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Okay, well maybe I've just maybe my hormones have changed,
so I don't need to worry about the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I'm happy with the companionship.
Speaker 14 (31:37):
Maybe that's it, you know, in a relationship, is an
exchange of care. Sexual care is just one of the
many ways that we care for each other in life.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
This is why I love talking to you.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
