Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey, come after Chris Merril ka if I am six
forty more stimulating talk on demand anytime of the iHeartRadio app.
And there's no Business Live it is on it. Uh, Brigina,
Good to have you back in the studio. Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello,
I know you at the box office news stuff? Did
you Novacane was number one of the box office?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Did you? I stepped out here while you were doing
did you do that story? This time?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I did not, But I'm sure it's on the newscast.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It is so but but but it bears notice during
our segment here as we talk about show business Nova
Kan which is is it? I can never Is it
Dennis Quaid's kid Meg Ryan Dennis?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, Jack Quaid is his name, And I'd watched him
in The Boys really good love him and that and
this Nova Caine. I go, well, all right, that looks
like it looks like kind of a brainless movie that
I would enjoy.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Is that a fair assessment? Am I wrong? Based on
the previews? It looks like it's does Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I feel the same. I'm like I can watch that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The premise is somewhat thin and then it looks like
it's just a lot of violence, and I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's great, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So the guy can't feel pain and then violence ensues
and people are trying to kill him.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
There you go, okay, I'm in I'd watch that.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Did not do very well at the box office, but
it was number one for the weekend eight point seven million.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Dollars, was it? Yeah? Ouch, it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Often that you have a number one box office film
that doesn't even make ten million dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That hurts.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So overall box office weekend let me see. Super Bowl
weekend revenue until now was the worst the year. It
was at fifty five point eight million. Total total this
weekend box office fifty four point seven million. So that's
it's all the tickets from all the films, fifty four
(02:12):
point seven million.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Was it? Ouch?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Inflation?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Who inflation? Inflation would make that go up. People are
just deciding they're not going to spend the money on movies,
I guess. Plus March March is always the downtime, you know.
This is the movies that come out now are not
they're not your summer blockbusters, and they are not they're
not award worthy. Award worthy stuff comes out in the fall,
(02:39):
and uh and their blockbusters don't come out until about Maine.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
We're in the We're in the doldrums right now.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
This is it and yet still I saw this with
this one, this Nova canon, I went, that looks dumb.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I'd enjoy that. I love dumb movies. Probably did you
see this?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, yeah, I did see it. It was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's okay, good, that's what I wanted to hear.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yeah, exactly what you everything, he said, that's what it is.
It's mindless. There's scenes where you're like come like fast
and furious, where you're like impossible, but it's funny, so
you're like, Okay, I'll let it go.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Suspend this belief and just enjoy the film. Okay, Yeah,
I love that. It's too bad.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I know, I got that eight point seven million dollars. However,
there was some really good news this week, A couple
of really good news things from the entertainment world. Spinal
Tap two is coming out in September. I say it's
really good. That is because Spinal Tap is one of
the greatest comedy films ever made.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Christopher guests writing is.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Flawless, just about anything that keep us together, I think
is about as brilliant as it gets.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
This one Spinal Tap two.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
The end continues as a sequel to the film that
came out more than forty years ago, that was the
mockumentary This is Spinal Tap.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Dudes still quote this film all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We go to eleven, Oh the way to eleven.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Others than they go to ten, We go to eleven. Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It looks fun, It's great. I'm excited about it. I
hope they don't ruin the legacy of Spinal Tap. I'm
guessing that they had forty years to work on the script,
so I will assume that that's good. The other great
news is this one of the great television programs that
we've seen in the last ten years, and there have
been many. One of the greats only ran for three seasons,
(04:26):
and it was on Apple tv Plus. It was talked about,
but it was on let's face it. I think Apple
tv Plus puts out incredible content. I think they go
for quality over quantity, and I am a huge fan.
I think I get great value from my Apple TV Plus.
They do not pay me to talk about this. I
genuinely believe that, and that said, I was sad and
(04:47):
when Ted Lasso was done, but thought it was so
incredibly well done.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And now we get worm is there? Season four? Is
it in the works? That's what we're right.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
We're writ in season four now.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But Dog Putin, Bladimir Putin, we believed.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And now it's official. Ted Lasso is coming back from entertainment.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Tonight, he went on the Kelsey Brothers podcast, Jason and
Travis Kelsey the football players. Uh, he went on their
podcast and then he kind of revealed, yeah, we're working on.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Jason Sudeikis was on the New Heights podcast and shared
a little bit about the storyline.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's coaching.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, the women's team there.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That's happened. Back is he coming back to the States
or many questions back in the questions, but we'll leave it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
At that, all right, So he's teaching the women's team,
and we don't know if they're coming back to the States,
but season four is happening at that and.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It's only because I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
As for who's returning from the O G cast, yes,
so far we know Hannah Wattingham and Brett Goldstein are confirmed.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I love both of them.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, I'm totally there. People say like, you can have
too much of a good thing, and I'm like, I did.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Have that street.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I just know that I love playing Jamie and I
love the show Jay They.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Siria Christian's Magic. I'd love to play Kaylee again.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So everybody sounds like they want to come back. What
a brilliant piece of work. When you have something that
the audience loves and the cast members bond the way
that they do and they all want to come back,
I'm all about it. Could not be more excited for
this so great news. Spinal Tap two is coming back.
Ted Lasso is coming back. We'll see how they weave
in the new season. I could not be more excited
(06:31):
about that. And they kind of hinted at that they
left the door open at the end of the third season.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
If you didn't watch it, I think you know the
premise right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Ted Lasso is an American football coach, gets hired as
kind of a joke to go run a team in
a soccer team in England and then ends up being
this inspirational guy that everybody loves, but also has his
own demons that he's fighting and YadA YadA YadA and
helps everybody else work through their issues while he works
through his own. In character development is spectacular the Joke's land,
(07:03):
it's very relatable.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
We all love it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
At the end of the third season, all of a sudden,
a couple of the main characters come up with this idea,
she have a women's team, and you went, oh, that's neat, okay, Well,
the future is they're gonna spread their wings. There's gonna
be more and we thought it would be a potential
avenue if they wanted to bring ted Lasso back, and
now we're seeing it is happening. As far as other things,
(07:27):
you're gonna have a chance to watch this summer, it
looks like, no, it won't be this summer, not this summer,
but going forward you will be able to watch the
Olympics on NBC.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Well, you can count on seeing all your Olympic coverage
right here on NBC at least for the next dozen years.
The International Olympic Committee and NBC Universal have agreed on
a new partnership securing the rights for the Olympic Games
through twenty thirty six WO that will include the Winter
Olympics returning to Salt Lake City in twenty thirty four.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
How much do you think NBC, Comcast, NBC Universal, whatever
you want to call it. How much do you think
they paid for the Olympics for a ten year deal?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Any ideas on that?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
How much do you think they paid for the rights,
just the rights, just the rights to pick, just the
rights to do.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It, any ideas? Because I when I take a shot in.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
The dark love, when we get participation, well, no, I
don't even know where to begin.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
It's just expensive, that's all I know.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Expensive is right?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You are correct, Yes, expensive was the answer. I was
looking for three billion dollars. Wow, man, oh man, that
seems wild to me. Three billion dollars. Now for your
three billion dollars, what do you get? You get Summer
Games twenty eight thirty six, So you have three Summer Games.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
And then what do we have for Winter Games?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You good to twenty six twenty eight No, excuse me,
twenty six, thirty and thirty four.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Three Winter games? Right, that's it?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So you get six, get six Olympics that you get
to show for three billion dollars. Wow, but you know
they're making money on it. They would have they wouldn't
have bid. You don't bid on things you lose money on,
and it also allows them to showcase some of their
other stuff. And blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
(09:18):
How about some show business news about some of the
people that we love, including one who's struggling and one
who is no longer struggling. That's next, Chris Merrill. As
we continue, there's no business.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like show visits. If I am six forty live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, Hike
an evening.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Chris Merrill, KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on
demand anytime on the eye Heart Radio app. There's my
chat nearlier for uh Gene Hackman. Uh is no longer
in pain. I think it's safe to say that. His estate, however,
doesn't want you to know what the results of the
(10:06):
death investigation are. But don't we already know this? Don't
we already know that he died of a heart failure
or you know, yeah, heart failure with Alzheimer's right. So
what they're trying to block, though, is the public release
of the autopsy, investigative reports, and especially photographs and police
(10:29):
body camera video so they don't want people passing around
the discovery of his body on the corners of the Internet,
which when the Internet first came about, roll you can
back me up on this, Brigina, you're too young. When
the Internet first came out, that wasn't a slight.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That was a compliment. Brigina, you're too young to have
had to experience this nonsense.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I don't know if I am. I think you think
I'm younger than I am.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, and when it first came out, the Internet was
people didn't know that they needed to not release celebrity
death photos. So all of a sudden you had a
bunch of websites that were being put together on angel fire,
and they were it was like, here's a picture of
this celebrity who died, and so it was pretty gruesome.
(11:15):
Is that fair to say? Did you, like, I saw
the Kurt Cobaine photos. Did you see those Raoul?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah? Unfortunately, yeah, because but that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Was early internets, Regina. You never had to see that
kind of crap, did you.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I was definitely too young to see that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It's thank goodness. See it's a compliment. It's a compliment.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's the kind of trash of the wild wild West
of the internets that we had to see. So I
don't blame the family for saying we don't want people
seeing our father dead in his home after he'd been
there for ten days without anybody finding him, or his
wife who'd been there longer than that, without anybody finding her,
or the dog who died. Uh, and you know nobody
(11:54):
finding her by the way, I think we got Yeah,
we got word on the dog.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
ABC seven on.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
This one tough news to share about the dog found
near Gene Hackman and his wife in their New Mexico
home last month.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, it's kind of what you thought.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
The dog, in Australian Kelpie mix named Zinfandel, was found
dead in a crate near Betsy Arakawa's body. According to
a new report from Santa Fe Animal Control, the dog
likely died of dehydration and starvation.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh or pop.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
It comes days after we learned that Hackman died of
cardiovastula in Alzheimer's disease. Investigators say that he likely died
about one week after his wife, Betsy had passed from
hantavirus pulinary syndrome, which is a rare disease transmitted through
rodent urine droppings or saliva.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, so don't make out with mice.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
What what I think bothers us is when we think
through the whole scenario. And I talked with our intrepid
news reporter Andrew Caravella about this last week too, and
I said, if I am a two time Oscar winner,
and even if I want to live on my secluded
ranch in New Mexico, are I going to have a
home health aid? Are not going to have somebody checking up?
(12:59):
And he countered by saying no. His his wife wanted
to take care of him as he aged, and he
had Alzheimer's, so.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
They didn't want that getting out.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
They didn't want they didn't want pop Rozzi showing up
at his ranch to try to take a picture of
decrepit Gene Hackman.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, I guess, so I get it.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Still, the whole thing plays out like an absolute nightmare,
and that she dies, there's nobody to help her. He's
obviously not with it. She's deceased. He can't take care
of himself. He never thinks I need to go check
on my wife. There's a dog in a crate who's
I'm sure whining and barking and yelping, and he's not
(13:43):
with it enough to go take care of the dog.
Let the dog out of the crate. If the dog
hadn't been locked in the crate. There were two other
dogs in the property. One was outside, one was inside.
They both survived. If the dog that had that was
in the crate hadn't been locked in the crate, good
chance that dog would have survived. Right, just drinking toilet
water could have been could have survived.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
So the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Is just just horrible. Hug your loved ones, say thank
you to a caregiver. Home Health aids are heroes, all
that kind of stuff. So that happens. Justin Bieber, by
the way, is finding his own demons. I don't know
if you saw the story this week about Justin Bieber,
but he is struggling with I guess who he is.
(14:26):
He's got a bit of imposter syndrome going on.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Justin Bieber letting his guard down, sharing on his social
media feelings of being a fraud, unworthy and unequipped.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Don't make jokes, I know you because he's No, he's good. No,
don't do that. Everybody goes through it. No, man, why
don't we just have to throw their music in the
middle of a story.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
Oh here he is, the thirty one year old singer,
songwriter and new dad writing people told me my whole life, wow,
justin you deserve that. Adding it made me feel sneaky,
like damn. If they only knew my thoughts, how judgmental
I am, how selfish I really am, they wouldn't be
saying this. These comments come on the heels of a
previous post just last month saying changing is about letting go.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, you got that job.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
A few days later, he was seen participating in an
LA charity hockey event smiling On Wednesday the two.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Guess what People who are struggling still smile and they
put on a face U.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
On Wednesday, the two time Grammy winner posting a picture
seated at the piano, fans flooding his reply section with
joy and excitement hoping for new music.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Don't play more, they got to play more music, Come on,
get back.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
Bever, celebrating his birthday earlier this month with throwback photos
as a baby and time with friends, family, his wife Haley,
and son Jack, who he welcomed in August.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
All right, sorry struggling, I hope he's Okay, whether you're
a fan or not, you don't want to see somebody
going through that. And there may be some positive out
of this, and that is that maybe as he is
bold enough to talk about his struggles, maybe it empowers
other people to say, I need help.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
That would be great.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
You have you seen better?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Man?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
No, it kind of covers this subject. He Robbie Williams
kind of goes through the same thing and he talks
about it in the movie.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Really is it a documentary, No.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
It's it's kind of like the Elton John movie WHI.
It's not like Singing in the Middle and it's I
liked it. I really liked it. But he's a monkey
in the whole movie.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Oh that's weird.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yeah, because he's like, this is what I think of myself,
and then the monkey character shows up and he's a
monkey for the rest of the movie.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Interesting, little artsy good though. I liked it. I enjoyed it, okay,
but all about struggling. And you know, earlier in the
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Know he had those struggles. But it kind of same thing,
imposter syndrome.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I love the chery able to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You know, it's like when Robin Williams passed, well, how
could have Robin Williams?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
He depressed?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
He was always so happy and then you find out
now he struggled with that a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You know, Just gonna know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
All right, I'm gonna shift away away from show business
and I've got the Geekiat segment.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Let's talk science next.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Okay, I on demand anytime the iHeartRadio App. I'm Chris Merril,
Doctor Wendy Walsh and Doctor Wendy after Dark coming up
here at seven o'clock in the meantime.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
You heard Brigitta talking about it.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It sounds like we're gonna get the astro nuts back
in in Earth's atmosphere, hopefully very shortly, since they had
one of those extended vacations. You know, you go on vacation,
then something happens and you miss a flight, and then
you have to add another day or two here.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
So they did. They just added an extra eight months
or so. A little bit of background on this.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Forget what the politicians are saying because you're you're not
gonna get the information when you hear Biden left them
up there. I guess if you want to say it
that way, you could say Biden left them up there.
But they weren't sad about that because they trained for it.
So the astronauts all train with the assumption that they're
gonna have to stay there a lot. They go up
(18:22):
with provisions and while they're, excuse me, while they're up there,
they were there were cramped quarters, of course, and there
was another ship, passenger ship, not just to not just
a supply ship, another passenger ship that went to the
space station. Right, Butch and Sunny are the two astronauts
(18:44):
that got stuck. Another passenger ship goes up there and
then comes back with two other astronauts. Now, why didn't
the passenger ship come back with Butch and Sonny? Why
did they come back with two other astronauts? Because it
was their turn? And the deal is this, That ship
goes up and those other two astronauts had been there
(19:06):
for a select amount of time and I don't know
exactly what it was, nine months or something, right, and
they've been up there, and what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Leave them up there longer. They're supposed to hit you
a ride and come back. You're gonna leave those guys
up there for another four five months? No, but you
and soon we were fresh.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
If this were if this were sports, you'd say you
got fresh legs on the field or the court, And
that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
They're fresh. So the right number of astronauts are up there.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
People are just hung up on the fact that it's
these two that got stuck up there because Boeing ship
Went's a crap. In the meantime, SpaceX had what two
three ships last week that launched and then crashed. If
I'm up there, I'm thinking, uh oh, that's not great.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
But but.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
SpaceX fired off their passenger ship and it made it.
The Today Show was reporting, got is.
Speaker 10 (19:57):
Some breaking news overnight. The two astronauts you have been
forced to stay on board the International Space Station for
more than nine months are finally about to come home.
NBC's Marissa Para has the latest from Miami.
Speaker 11 (20:09):
Hey Maurissa, good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Hey Marissa Plly, good morning.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
This is one of several moments we have all been
waiting for. After roughly twenty eight Jarney through hour through
Space Crew ten has officially arrived and docked at the
International Space Station. This beautiful approach shop by one of
the astronauts on board as they waited for the Dragon
capsule to arrive. The current ISS occupants, including Butch, will
(20:32):
Moore and Sonning Williams, welcoming the team off.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Son I was saying, soon, Sonny on board?
Speaker 11 (20:36):
Is that hatch opened? The two NASA astronauts, one Japanese
astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut you can see floating on
in and exciting.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, so they sent four astronauts up there, and you're
gonna bring the other ones back. Look how that works.
It's like a ride share. Yep, he dropped one off,
and then who else wants in Miami taxi?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
They just flip the light on. They say, yep, we're ready.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
And exciting morning for everyone, but especially for Crew nine
because this is their relief, allowing them to return to
Earth in a few days now. For Crew nine, that's
two members who arrived in September, plus Butch and Sunny,
who have been in space since June when their ten
day mission turned into nine months. But just a note here.
Astronaut Frank Rubio holds the US record for longest consecutive
(21:21):
days in space at three hundred and seventy one days.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Oh, these guys weren't even close. There were three months away.
My gosh, they've been three quarters of a record.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Butch and Sunny aren't even at two hundred and ninety yet.
But the big question, of course, is how much longer
before they can return home. Well, Crew nine will spend
a few days showing Crew ten the ropes and double
checking everything is set for their return. The earliest they
could depart would be Wednesday, then splashing down in either
the goal for the Atlantic, all of it depending on
the weather.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Halley.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
So whatever people did to make there be good luck
for good weather on Friday, we're hoping again for on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Well, that'd be a bad deal with them up starts
coming back down and then some of those Midwestern storms
that Brigitta was talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
What I'm gonna be a real bummer, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
That's all I'm saying. How much do you think Elon
Musk is crossing his fingers on this? Like Elon Musk
doesn't need any more bad news, does He's already got
people that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Are I don't know if you saw the story here.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Locally, the Tesla owners are getting letters from their neighbors saying,
please stop driving the Nazi mobile basically, so please do
something right and uh. And you've got to believe that
that Elon is thinking, Okay, my Tesla stock is in
the toilet. It's total crap. I've got a bunch of
countries that are now bailing on the starlink contracts because
(22:49):
of his involvement with Doze and everything else. And so
they're bailing on that. So his companies are taking a hit.
Can you imagine if SpaceX has a problem bringing these
two astronauts back, especially after Trump said Joe Biden left
them up there and I said Elon Ethon, hey, there's
these guys up in space. Can you go get him?
And he said, sure, I can go do that, and
(23:10):
so he did. He shouldn't have been that hide. Joe
Biden did this to them. Joe Biden is this space theories, and.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So he says that Elon is gonna go do it.
It's not a big deal. I don't know why they
did this.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
They just they're trying to torture American astronauts, especially that
one with the big hair.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Everybody likes your big hair, really like that hair.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
She's got great hair, not exaggerating, so you gotta believe
he's watching this going Oh god, I had two ships
blow up last week. My starlink is being canceled by
countries all over the planet, and people are egging my
Tesla's And there are not enough Maga crowds with an
(23:51):
extra one hundred grand or one hundred and fifty to
buy a new cyber truck out there.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I really need this one to work.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Meanwhile, Boeing is the company that just gave it a shot,
and then they they totally they totally screwed the pooch.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
On their first try, right.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I mean, that's why Butcher and Sonny are stuck up
there is because the bowing craft had issues.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So you know, Muskus like this has to work, has
to work.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
One more science story, aerodynamics in Norwegian crotches. You didn't
think you'd hear that today, but you did.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Well, you can count on seeing all your Olympic coverage
right here on NBC.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
At least that's the wrong one, hay On, where's my
uh here it is?
Speaker 12 (24:34):
There are many ways from CBS news is to cheat
in sports.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
You can cork a baseball bat to make it lighter.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Deflate of football to make it easier to grip.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
But how do you cheat in ski jumping?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
If you're the Norwegian team, you alter the suits to
make them more aerodynamic in the crotch.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Three more jumpers were suspended today.
Speaker 12 (24:53):
That's five now, along with the head coach, assistant coach
and the equipment manager. A whistleblower caught the alteration on camera.
A reinforced thread was added to the suits to increased
surface area so the jumpers would fly farther.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Come on, say crotch, Say crotch. It was added to
the crotch, by the way, Come on say it.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
It was done so well the Ski and Snowboard Federation
had to rip the suits open to find the extra
material in the crotch.
Speaker 12 (25:20):
The coach and the equipment manager who performed the skull
stitchery in the crotch apologized, saying we regret it like dogs.
Not clear if the athletes knew about the tampering. At
least two said they did not. Federation seized the suits
as it investigates leaving the fate of the team hanging
by a thread, and they need to apologize to the
(25:41):
dogs too.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Okay, that's not funny.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So anyway, these guys basically what they did is they
sewed the suits together to add just a little bit
more surface area. And when you're in the air, that
surface area acts like a windsail. And so if you
can get an extra foot two feet simply because you
have an extra inch hanging down below.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's enough to cheat.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
A five percent bigger surface area of a suit helps
an athlete fly further. The exact distance, they say, though,
is not known, but they know that it does give
an advantage.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
And so.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
We've got I'm gonna say it again, Crotch Gate. You're welcome,
Doctor Wendy Walsh. Doctor Wendy after Dark is set to
take over at seven o'clock. I've got some great stories
to lead us into Wendy's program, including why it is
you're so fat?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Guys, blame your wife.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Next, Chris Merril k I AM six forty We live
everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
KFI AM six forty. And you know that if you're
on the iHeartRadio app, you can hit that talk back button.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Let us know what you're thinking.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
I haven't heard anyone mention this. But how come none
of Jeans Hackman's kids contacted him since i'd be were
eleventh or earlier, just to check on their dad.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I don't know. It's a good question, no idea.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I thought I read something about the kids were concerned
because they hadn't heard from them in a while.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
But I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
How often do you talk to your parents. If I
go more than a week without here from my from
my father, uh, that's when I will make a phone call.
Go I haven't heard from me. Everything's cool. My mother
a six eight months?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Yeah mine too, man.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, my mom is so disconnected.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
She's like, well everything was fine, there was no reason
to talk to you. Okay, that's cool, all right. And
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Well, you could
call her. My mother doesn't answer her phone. Oh my god,
it's never charged. And so I just I called dad.
And then if he says, you want to talk to
your mother, well yeah, if she's there and she go hi,
and I'll go.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Hey, what's going on? Are you got nothing? Good talking? Mom?
That's it? Good talk? All right? What else from the
talk back. Here we go.
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I'm bummed out about Guinness. Beer might be going up
in price due to the if they do the tariffs.
That's the worst heis I've heard about Guinness. Beier says
they took the pig batters they he sees them for filtration,
now to use real filters.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
What if they filter Guinness with pig bladders? Is that true? Yeah?
I don't like it all right. Finally from the talkbacks,
Miss Mary. Unfortunately I miss most of your show today.
My man, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, but I hope
you have a good one.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Okay, Well, good talk. Thanks man, appreciate that you're very kind.
Thanks for checking in which came first, the fat guy
or the wife. According to his study, the risk of
being overweight increases with marriage for both sexes, but obesity
has only been found in men. Being married triples the
(28:55):
risk of obesity and mat According to this new research,
study of a fat poll, men found that they were
three point two times more likely to be obese than
unmarried men. No such link, however, for women, regardless of
their marital status, both sexes tend to be heavier when married,
with the risk of being overweight rising by over sixty
percent among husbands and almost forty percent among wives.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Why because we stop trying. That's why you don't need
to be a peacock.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
If you already have a hen back home, right, you
don't need to you know what't need to be out
there like showing off. No, getting married means you can
let yourself go. And I know some marriages end because
one spouse gets upset that the other one let themselves go.
But there's a chance you come away with some cash
(29:49):
out of that day divorce if you're smart like me,
and you make sure that you hook up with somebody
who has more value, and that means you can buy
a trainer, so after the divorce, so there you go.
And then there's listen, there's nothing better than getting divorce
and then getting Hot's just be honest about that. So anyway,
(30:14):
marriage means you can get fat. So is that because
women are attracted to fat guys?
Speaker 13 (30:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Is it because guys let themselves go? Yes, yep, that's
what it is. And God bless women for seeing beyond looks.
I don't know what it is. Women are way better
at that than dudes. And then finally, let's leave you
with this in a survey. I love surveys. A survey
was trying to figure out would you do it with
(30:41):
a robot? And then they wanted to know, if you
do it with a robot, is that cheating?
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I love these These are important studies. This is important.
Let me see.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
More than a third of gen Z respondent's admitted to
using chat GPT to combat feelings of loneliness. Fourteen percent
would prefer to confide in a chat robot about personal
issues rather than talking with their partner, and two out
of five say that it is cheating if their partner
is intimate with a sex robot, even if the sex
robot is modeled after themselves. In other words, she's not
(31:17):
having sex with someone else, she's having sex with animatonic meat.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
That's not cheating. You know what this is. It's people
being jealous.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
It's insecurities, and I'm about the most insecure guy you're
ever gonna meet. But for some reason, this doesn't bother me.
To me, it's just another love toy. That's fine. You
wanna go do it with the robot. Fine, you like
the robot because it doesn't talk back. Fine, you like
the robot because it doesn't put on weight at three
times the rate of women after it gets married. Fine,
(31:49):
but it's not merely as much fun as I am
so enjoy sex Robot. I'm back for Bill Handle tomorrow morning,
bright and early, and I look forward to being able
to talk to you then. Until then, Doctor Wendy Walsh
is next. Doctor Wendy after dark. Have a fantastic rest
of your Sunday, have a wonderful week. Be safe, Chris
(32:10):
Merril kf I AM six quarter relive everywhere in the
iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (32:12):
App KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey, come after Chris Merril ka if I am six
forty more stimulating talk on demand anytime of the iHeartRadio app.
And there's no Business Live it is on it. Uh, Brigina,
Good to have you back in the studio. Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello,
I know you at the box office news stuff? Did
you Novacane was number one of the box office?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Did you? I stepped out here while you were doing
did you do that story? This time?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I did not, But I'm sure it's on the newscast.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It is so but but but it bears notice during
our segment here as we talk about show business Nova
Kan which is is it? I can never Is it
Dennis Quaid's kid Meg Ryan Dennis?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, Jack Quaid is his name, And I'd watched him
in The Boys really good love him and that and
this Nova Caine. I go, well, all right, that looks
like it looks like kind of a brainless movie that
I would enjoy.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Is that a fair assessment? Am I wrong? Based on
the previews? It looks like it's does Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I feel the same. I'm like I can watch that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The premise is somewhat thin and then it looks like
it's just a lot of violence, and I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's great, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So the guy can't feel pain and then violence ensues
and people are trying to kill him.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
There you go, okay, I'm in I'd watch that.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Did not do very well at the box office, but
it was number one for the weekend eight point seven million.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Dollars, was it? Yeah? Ouch, it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Often that you have a number one box office film
that doesn't even make ten million dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That hurts.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So overall box office weekend let me see. Super Bowl
weekend revenue until now was the worst the year. It
was at fifty five point eight million. Total total this
weekend box office fifty four point seven million. So that's
it's all the tickets from all the films, fifty four
(02:12):
point seven million.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Was it? Ouch?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Inflation?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Who inflation? Inflation would make that go up. People are
just deciding they're not going to spend the money on movies,
I guess. Plus March March is always the downtime, you know.
This is the movies that come out now are not
they're not your summer blockbusters, and they are not they're
not award worthy. Award worthy stuff comes out in the fall,
(02:39):
and uh and their blockbusters don't come out until about Maine.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
We're in the We're in the doldrums right now.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
This is it and yet still I saw this with
this one, this Nova canon, I went, that looks dumb.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I'd enjoy that. I love dumb movies. Probably did you
see this?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, yeah, I did see it. It was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's okay, good, that's what I wanted to hear.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yeah, exactly what you everything, he said, that's what it is.
It's mindless. There's scenes where you're like come like fast
and furious, where you're like impossible, but it's funny, so
you're like, Okay, I'll let it go.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Suspend this belief and just enjoy the film. Okay, Yeah,
I love that. It's too bad.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I know, I got that eight point seven million dollars. However,
there was some really good news this week, A couple
of really good news things from the entertainment world. Spinal
Tap two is coming out in September. I say it's
really good. That is because Spinal Tap is one of
the greatest comedy films ever made.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Christopher guests writing is.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Flawless, just about anything that keep us together, I think
is about as brilliant as it gets.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
This one Spinal Tap two.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
The end continues as a sequel to the film that
came out more than forty years ago, that was the
mockumentary This is Spinal Tap.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Dudes still quote this film all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We go to eleven, Oh the way to eleven.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Others than they go to ten, We go to eleven. Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It looks fun, It's great. I'm excited about it. I
hope they don't ruin the legacy of Spinal Tap. I'm
guessing that they had forty years to work on the script,
so I will assume that that's good. The other great
news is this one of the great television programs that
we've seen in the last ten years, and there have
been many. One of the greats only ran for three seasons,
(04:26):
and it was on Apple tv Plus. It was talked about,
but it was on let's face it. I think Apple
tv Plus puts out incredible content. I think they go
for quality over quantity, and I am a huge fan.
I think I get great value from my Apple TV Plus.
They do not pay me to talk about this. I
genuinely believe that, and that said, I was sad and
(04:47):
when Ted Lasso was done, but thought it was so
incredibly well done.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And now we get worm is there? Season four? Is
it in the works? That's what we're right.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
We're writ in season four now.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But Dog Putin, Bladimir Putin, we believed.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And now it's official. Ted Lasso is coming back from entertainment.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Tonight, he went on the Kelsey Brothers podcast, Jason and
Travis Kelsey the football players. Uh, he went on their
podcast and then he kind of revealed, yeah, we're working on.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Jason Sudeikis was on the New Heights podcast and shared
a little bit about the storyline.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's coaching.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, the women's team there.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That's happened. Back is he coming back to the States
or many questions back in the questions, but we'll leave it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
At that, all right, So he's teaching the women's team,
and we don't know if they're coming back to the States,
but season four is happening at that and.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It's only because I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
As for who's returning from the O G cast, yes,
so far we know Hannah Wattingham and Brett Goldstein are confirmed.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I love both of them.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, I'm totally there. People say like, you can have
too much of a good thing, and I'm like, I did.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Have that street.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I just know that I love playing Jamie and I
love the show Jay They.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Siria Christian's Magic. I'd love to play Kaylee again.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So everybody sounds like they want to come back. What
a brilliant piece of work. When you have something that
the audience loves and the cast members bond the way
that they do and they all want to come back,
I'm all about it. Could not be more excited for
this so great news. Spinal Tap two is coming back.
Ted Lasso is coming back. We'll see how they weave
in the new season. I could not be more excited
(06:31):
about that. And they kind of hinted at that they
left the door open at the end of the third season.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
If you didn't watch it, I think you know the
premise right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Ted Lasso is an American football coach, gets hired as
kind of a joke to go run a team in
a soccer team in England and then ends up being
this inspirational guy that everybody loves, but also has his
own demons that he's fighting and YadA YadA YadA and
helps everybody else work through their issues while he works
through his own. In character development is spectacular the Joke's land,
(07:03):
it's very relatable.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
We all love it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
At the end of the third season, all of a sudden,
a couple of the main characters come up with this idea,
she have a women's team, and you went, oh, that's neat, okay, Well,
the future is they're gonna spread their wings. There's gonna
be more and we thought it would be a potential
avenue if they wanted to bring ted Lasso back, and
now we're seeing it is happening. As far as other things,
(07:27):
you're gonna have a chance to watch this summer, it
looks like, no, it won't be this summer, not this summer,
but going forward you will be able to watch the
Olympics on NBC.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Well, you can count on seeing all your Olympic coverage
right here on NBC at least for the next dozen years.
The International Olympic Committee and NBC Universal have agreed on
a new partnership securing the rights for the Olympic Games
through twenty thirty six WO that will include the Winter
Olympics returning to Salt Lake City in twenty thirty four.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
How much do you think NBC, Comcast, NBC Universal, whatever
you want to call it. How much do you think
they paid for the Olympics for a ten year deal?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Any ideas on that?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
How much do you think they paid for the rights,
just the rights, just the rights to pick, just the
rights to do.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It, any ideas? Because I when I take a shot in.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
The dark love, when we get participation, well, no, I
don't even know where to begin.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
It's just expensive, that's all I know.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Expensive is right?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You are correct, Yes, expensive was the answer. I was
looking for three billion dollars. Wow, man, oh man, that
seems wild to me. Three billion dollars. Now for your
three billion dollars, what do you get? You get Summer
Games twenty eight thirty six, So you have three Summer Games.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
And then what do we have for Winter Games?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You good to twenty six twenty eight No, excuse me,
twenty six, thirty and thirty four.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Three Winter games? Right, that's it?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So you get six, get six Olympics that you get
to show for three billion dollars. Wow, but you know
they're making money on it. They would have they wouldn't
have bid. You don't bid on things you lose money on,
and it also allows them to showcase some of their
other stuff. And blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
(09:18):
How about some show business news about some of the
people that we love, including one who's struggling and one
who is no longer struggling. That's next, Chris Merrill. As
we continue, there's no business.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like show visits. If I am six forty live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, Hike
an evening.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Chris Merrill, KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on
demand anytime on the eye Heart Radio app. There's my
chat nearlier for uh Gene Hackman. Uh is no longer
in pain. I think it's safe to say that. His estate, however,
doesn't want you to know what the results of the
(10:06):
death investigation are. But don't we already know this? Don't
we already know that he died of a heart failure
or you know, yeah, heart failure with Alzheimer's right. So
what they're trying to block, though, is the public release
of the autopsy, investigative reports, and especially photographs and police
(10:29):
body camera video so they don't want people passing around
the discovery of his body on the corners of the Internet,
which when the Internet first came about, roll you can
back me up on this, Brigina, you're too young. When
the Internet first came out, that wasn't a slight.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That was a compliment. Brigina, you're too young to have
had to experience this nonsense.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I don't know if I am. I think you think
I'm younger than I am.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, and when it first came out, the Internet was
people didn't know that they needed to not release celebrity
death photos. So all of a sudden you had a
bunch of websites that were being put together on angel fire,
and they were it was like, here's a picture of
this celebrity who died, and so it was pretty gruesome.
(11:15):
Is that fair to say? Did you, like, I saw
the Kurt Cobaine photos. Did you see those Raoul?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah? Unfortunately, yeah, because but that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Was early internets, Regina. You never had to see that
kind of crap, did you.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I was definitely too young to see that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It's thank goodness. See it's a compliment. It's a compliment.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's the kind of trash of the wild wild West
of the internets that we had to see. So I
don't blame the family for saying we don't want people
seeing our father dead in his home after he'd been
there for ten days without anybody finding him, or his
wife who'd been there longer than that, without anybody finding her,
or the dog who died. Uh, and you know nobody
(11:54):
finding her by the way, I think we got Yeah,
we got word on the dog.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
ABC seven on.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
This one tough news to share about the dog found
near Gene Hackman and his wife in their New Mexico
home last month.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, it's kind of what you thought.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
The dog, in Australian Kelpie mix named Zinfandel, was found
dead in a crate near Betsy Arakawa's body. According to
a new report from Santa Fe Animal Control, the dog
likely died of dehydration and starvation.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh or pop.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
It comes days after we learned that Hackman died of
cardiovastula in Alzheimer's disease. Investigators say that he likely died
about one week after his wife, Betsy had passed from
hantavirus pulinary syndrome, which is a rare disease transmitted through
rodent urine droppings or saliva.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, so don't make out with mice.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
What what I think bothers us is when we think
through the whole scenario. And I talked with our intrepid
news reporter Andrew Caravella about this last week too, and
I said, if I am a two time Oscar winner,
and even if I want to live on my secluded
ranch in New Mexico, are I going to have a
home health aid? Are not going to have somebody checking up?
(12:59):
And he countered by saying no. His his wife wanted
to take care of him as he aged, and he
had Alzheimer's, so.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
They didn't want that getting out.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
They didn't want they didn't want pop Rozzi showing up
at his ranch to try to take a picture of
decrepit Gene Hackman.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, I guess, so I get it.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Still, the whole thing plays out like an absolute nightmare,
and that she dies, there's nobody to help her. He's
obviously not with it. She's deceased. He can't take care
of himself. He never thinks I need to go check
on my wife. There's a dog in a crate who's
I'm sure whining and barking and yelping, and he's not
(13:43):
with it enough to go take care of the dog.
Let the dog out of the crate. If the dog
hadn't been locked in the crate. There were two other
dogs in the property. One was outside, one was inside.
They both survived. If the dog that had that was
in the crate hadn't been locked in the crate, good
chance that dog would have survived. Right, just drinking toilet
water could have been could have survived.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
So the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Is just just horrible. Hug your loved ones, say thank
you to a caregiver. Home Health aids are heroes, all
that kind of stuff. So that happens. Justin Bieber, by
the way, is finding his own demons. I don't know
if you saw the story this week about Justin Bieber,
but he is struggling with I guess who he is.
(14:26):
He's got a bit of imposter syndrome going on.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Justin Bieber letting his guard down, sharing on his social
media feelings of being a fraud, unworthy and unequipped.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Don't make jokes, I know you because he's No, he's good. No,
don't do that. Everybody goes through it. No, man, why
don't we just have to throw their music in the
middle of a story.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
Oh here he is, the thirty one year old singer,
songwriter and new dad writing people told me my whole life, wow,
justin you deserve that. Adding it made me feel sneaky,
like damn. If they only knew my thoughts, how judgmental
I am, how selfish I really am, they wouldn't be
saying this. These comments come on the heels of a
previous post just last month saying changing is about letting go.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, you got that job.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
A few days later, he was seen participating in an
LA charity hockey event smiling On Wednesday the two.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Guess what People who are struggling still smile and they
put on a face U.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
On Wednesday, the two time Grammy winner posting a picture
seated at the piano, fans flooding his reply section with
joy and excitement hoping for new music.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Don't play more, they got to play more music, Come on,
get back.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
Bever, celebrating his birthday earlier this month with throwback photos
as a baby and time with friends, family, his wife Haley,
and son Jack, who he welcomed in August.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
All right, sorry struggling, I hope he's Okay, whether you're
a fan or not, you don't want to see somebody
going through that. And there may be some positive out
of this, and that is that maybe as he is
bold enough to talk about his struggles, maybe it empowers
other people to say, I need help.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
That would be great.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
You have you seen better?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Man?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
No, it kind of covers this subject. He Robbie Williams
kind of goes through the same thing and he talks
about it in the movie.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Really is it a documentary, No.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
It's it's kind of like the Elton John movie WHI.
It's not like Singing in the Middle and it's I
liked it. I really liked it. But he's a monkey
in the whole movie.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Oh that's weird.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yeah, because he's like, this is what I think of myself,
and then the monkey character shows up and he's a
monkey for the rest of the movie.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Interesting, little artsy good though. I liked it. I enjoyed it, okay,
but all about struggling. And you know, earlier in the
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Know he had those struggles. But it kind of same thing,
imposter syndrome.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I love the chery able to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You know, it's like when Robin Williams passed, well, how
could have Robin Williams?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
He depressed?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
He was always so happy and then you find out
now he struggled with that a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You know, Just gonna know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
All right, I'm gonna shift away away from show business
and I've got the Geekiat segment.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Let's talk science next.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Okay, I on demand anytime the iHeartRadio App. I'm Chris Merril,
Doctor Wendy Walsh and Doctor Wendy after Dark coming up
here at seven o'clock in the meantime.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
You heard Brigitta talking about it.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It sounds like we're gonna get the astro nuts back
in in Earth's atmosphere, hopefully very shortly, since they had
one of those extended vacations. You know, you go on vacation,
then something happens and you miss a flight, and then
you have to add another day or two here.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
So they did. They just added an extra eight months
or so. A little bit of background on this.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Forget what the politicians are saying because you're you're not
gonna get the information when you hear Biden left them
up there. I guess if you want to say it
that way, you could say Biden left them up there.
But they weren't sad about that because they trained for it.
So the astronauts all train with the assumption that they're
gonna have to stay there a lot. They go up
(18:22):
with provisions and while they're, excuse me, while they're up there,
they were there were cramped quarters, of course, and there
was another ship, passenger ship, not just to not just
a supply ship, another passenger ship that went to the
space station. Right, Butch and Sunny are the two astronauts
(18:44):
that got stuck. Another passenger ship goes up there and
then comes back with two other astronauts. Now, why didn't
the passenger ship come back with Butch and Sonny? Why
did they come back with two other astronauts? Because it
was their turn? And the deal is this, That ship
goes up and those other two astronauts had been there
(19:06):
for a select amount of time and I don't know
exactly what it was, nine months or something, right, and
they've been up there, and what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Leave them up there longer. They're supposed to hit you
a ride and come back. You're gonna leave those guys
up there for another four five months? No, but you
and soon we were fresh.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
If this were if this were sports, you'd say you
got fresh legs on the field or the court, And
that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
They're fresh. So the right number of astronauts are up there.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
People are just hung up on the fact that it's
these two that got stuck up there because Boeing ship
Went's a crap. In the meantime, SpaceX had what two
three ships last week that launched and then crashed. If
I'm up there, I'm thinking, uh oh, that's not great.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
But but.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
SpaceX fired off their passenger ship and it made it.
The Today Show was reporting, got is.
Speaker 10 (19:57):
Some breaking news overnight. The two astronauts you have been
forced to stay on board the International Space Station for
more than nine months are finally about to come home.
NBC's Marissa Para has the latest from Miami.
Speaker 11 (20:09):
Hey Maurissa, good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Hey Marissa Plly, good morning.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
This is one of several moments we have all been
waiting for. After roughly twenty eight Jarney through hour through
Space Crew ten has officially arrived and docked at the
International Space Station. This beautiful approach shop by one of
the astronauts on board as they waited for the Dragon
capsule to arrive. The current ISS occupants, including Butch, will
(20:32):
Moore and Sonning Williams, welcoming the team off.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Son I was saying, soon, Sonny on board?
Speaker 11 (20:36):
Is that hatch opened? The two NASA astronauts, one Japanese
astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut you can see floating on
in and exciting.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, so they sent four astronauts up there, and you're
gonna bring the other ones back. Look how that works.
It's like a ride share. Yep, he dropped one off,
and then who else wants in Miami taxi?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
They just flip the light on. They say, yep, we're ready.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
And exciting morning for everyone, but especially for Crew nine
because this is their relief, allowing them to return to
Earth in a few days now. For Crew nine, that's
two members who arrived in September, plus Butch and Sunny,
who have been in space since June when their ten
day mission turned into nine months. But just a note here.
Astronaut Frank Rubio holds the US record for longest consecutive
(21:21):
days in space at three hundred and seventy one days.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Oh, these guys weren't even close. There were three months away.
My gosh, they've been three quarters of a record.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Butch and Sunny aren't even at two hundred and ninety yet.
But the big question, of course, is how much longer
before they can return home. Well, Crew nine will spend
a few days showing Crew ten the ropes and double
checking everything is set for their return. The earliest they
could depart would be Wednesday, then splashing down in either
the goal for the Atlantic, all of it depending on
the weather.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Halley.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
So whatever people did to make there be good luck
for good weather on Friday, we're hoping again for on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Well, that'd be a bad deal with them up starts
coming back down and then some of those Midwestern storms
that Brigitta was talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
What I'm gonna be a real bummer, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
That's all I'm saying. How much do you think Elon
Musk is crossing his fingers on this? Like Elon Musk
doesn't need any more bad news, does He's already got
people that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Are I don't know if you saw the story here.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Locally, the Tesla owners are getting letters from their neighbors saying,
please stop driving the Nazi mobile basically, so please do
something right and uh. And you've got to believe that
that Elon is thinking, Okay, my Tesla stock is in
the toilet. It's total crap. I've got a bunch of
countries that are now bailing on the starlink contracts because
(22:49):
of his involvement with Doze and everything else. And so
they're bailing on that. So his companies are taking a hit.
Can you imagine if SpaceX has a problem bringing these
two astronauts back, especially after Trump said Joe Biden left
them up there and I said Elon Ethon, hey, there's
these guys up in space. Can you go get him?
And he said, sure, I can go do that, and
(23:10):
so he did. He shouldn't have been that hide. Joe
Biden did this to them. Joe Biden is this space theories, and.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So he says that Elon is gonna go do it.
It's not a big deal. I don't know why they
did this.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
They just they're trying to torture American astronauts, especially that
one with the big hair.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Everybody likes your big hair, really like that hair.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
She's got great hair, not exaggerating, so you gotta believe
he's watching this going Oh god, I had two ships
blow up last week. My starlink is being canceled by
countries all over the planet, and people are egging my
Tesla's And there are not enough Maga crowds with an
(23:51):
extra one hundred grand or one hundred and fifty to
buy a new cyber truck out there.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I really need this one to work.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Meanwhile, Boeing is the company that just gave it a shot,
and then they they totally they totally screwed the pooch.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
On their first try, right.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I mean, that's why Butcher and Sonny are stuck up
there is because the bowing craft had issues.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So you know, Muskus like this has to work, has
to work.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
One more science story, aerodynamics in Norwegian crotches. You didn't
think you'd hear that today, but you did.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Well, you can count on seeing all your Olympic coverage
right here on NBC.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
At least that's the wrong one, hay On, where's my
uh here it is?
Speaker 12 (24:34):
There are many ways from CBS news is to cheat
in sports.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
You can cork a baseball bat to make it lighter.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Deflate of football to make it easier to grip.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
But how do you cheat in ski jumping?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
If you're the Norwegian team, you alter the suits to
make them more aerodynamic in the crotch.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Three more jumpers were suspended today.
Speaker 12 (24:53):
That's five now, along with the head coach, assistant coach
and the equipment manager. A whistleblower caught the alteration on camera.
A reinforced thread was added to the suits to increased
surface area so the jumpers would fly farther.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Come on, say crotch, Say crotch. It was added to
the crotch, by the way, Come on say it.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
It was done so well the Ski and Snowboard Federation
had to rip the suits open to find the extra
material in the crotch.
Speaker 12 (25:20):
The coach and the equipment manager who performed the skull
stitchery in the crotch apologized, saying we regret it like dogs.
Not clear if the athletes knew about the tampering. At
least two said they did not. Federation seized the suits
as it investigates leaving the fate of the team hanging
by a thread, and they need to apologize to the
(25:41):
dogs too.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Okay, that's not funny.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So anyway, these guys basically what they did is they
sewed the suits together to add just a little bit
more surface area. And when you're in the air, that
surface area acts like a windsail. And so if you
can get an extra foot two feet simply because you
have an extra inch hanging down below.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's enough to cheat.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
A five percent bigger surface area of a suit helps
an athlete fly further. The exact distance, they say, though,
is not known, but they know that it does give
an advantage.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
And so.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
We've got I'm gonna say it again, Crotch Gate. You're welcome,
Doctor Wendy Walsh. Doctor Wendy after Dark is set to
take over at seven o'clock. I've got some great stories
to lead us into Wendy's program, including why it is
you're so fat?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Guys, blame your wife.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Next, Chris Merril k I AM six forty We live
everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
KFI AM six forty. And you know that if you're
on the iHeartRadio app, you can hit that talk back button.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Let us know what you're thinking.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
I haven't heard anyone mention this. But how come none
of Jeans Hackman's kids contacted him since i'd be were
eleventh or earlier, just to check on their dad.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I don't know. It's a good question, no idea.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I thought I read something about the kids were concerned
because they hadn't heard from them in a while.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
But I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
How often do you talk to your parents. If I
go more than a week without here from my from
my father, uh, that's when I will make a phone call.
Go I haven't heard from me. Everything's cool. My mother
a six eight months?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Yeah mine too, man.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, my mom is so disconnected.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
She's like, well everything was fine, there was no reason
to talk to you. Okay, that's cool, all right. And
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Well, you could
call her. My mother doesn't answer her phone. Oh my god,
it's never charged. And so I just I called dad.
And then if he says, you want to talk to
your mother, well yeah, if she's there and she go hi,
and I'll go.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Hey, what's going on? Are you got nothing? Good talking? Mom?
That's it? Good talk? All right? What else from the
talk back. Here we go.
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I'm bummed out about Guinness. Beer might be going up
in price due to the if they do the tariffs.
That's the worst heis I've heard about Guinness. Beier says
they took the pig batters they he sees them for filtration,
now to use real filters.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
What if they filter Guinness with pig bladders? Is that true? Yeah?
I don't like it all right. Finally from the talkbacks,
Miss Mary. Unfortunately I miss most of your show today.
My man, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, but I hope
you have a good one.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Okay, Well, good talk. Thanks man, appreciate that you're very kind.
Thanks for checking in which came first, the fat guy
or the wife. According to his study, the risk of
being overweight increases with marriage for both sexes, but obesity
has only been found in men. Being married triples the
(28:55):
risk of obesity and mat According to this new research,
study of a fat poll, men found that they were
three point two times more likely to be obese than
unmarried men. No such link, however, for women, regardless of
their marital status, both sexes tend to be heavier when married,
with the risk of being overweight rising by over sixty
percent among husbands and almost forty percent among wives.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Why because we stop trying. That's why you don't need
to be a peacock.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
If you already have a hen back home, right, you
don't need to you know what't need to be out
there like showing off. No, getting married means you can
let yourself go. And I know some marriages end because
one spouse gets upset that the other one let themselves go.
But there's a chance you come away with some cash
(29:49):
out of that day divorce if you're smart like me,
and you make sure that you hook up with somebody
who has more value, and that means you can buy
a trainer, so after the divorce, so there you go.
And then there's listen, there's nothing better than getting divorce
and then getting Hot's just be honest about that. So anyway,
(30:14):
marriage means you can get fat. So is that because
women are attracted to fat guys?
Speaker 13 (30:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Is it because guys let themselves go? Yes, yep, that's
what it is. And God bless women for seeing beyond looks.
I don't know what it is. Women are way better
at that than dudes. And then finally, let's leave you
with this in a survey. I love surveys. A survey
was trying to figure out would you do it with
(30:41):
a robot? And then they wanted to know, if you
do it with a robot, is that cheating?
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I love these These are important studies. This is important.
Let me see.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
More than a third of gen Z respondent's admitted to
using chat GPT to combat feelings of loneliness. Fourteen percent
would prefer to confide in a chat robot about personal
issues rather than talking with their partner, and two out
of five say that it is cheating if their partner
is intimate with a sex robot, even if the sex
robot is modeled after themselves. In other words, she's not
(31:17):
having sex with someone else, she's having sex with animatonic meat.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
That's not cheating. You know what this is. It's people
being jealous.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
It's insecurities, and I'm about the most insecure guy you're
ever gonna meet. But for some reason, this doesn't bother me.
To me, it's just another love toy. That's fine. You
wanna go do it with the robot. Fine, you like
the robot because it doesn't talk back. Fine, you like
the robot because it doesn't put on weight at three
times the rate of women after it gets married. Fine,
(31:49):
but it's not merely as much fun as I am
so enjoy sex Robot. I'm back for Bill Handle tomorrow morning,
bright and early, and I look forward to being able
to talk to you then. Until then, Doctor Wendy Walsh
is next. Doctor Wendy after dark. Have a fantastic rest
of your Sunday, have a wonderful week. Be safe, Chris
