News of note from Tinsel Town and beyond. According to the study from FlashPicks, no California NFL stadium is any good for surviving a “Last of Us” style dystopia. Open roofs, field turf and too many entrances and exits make it a liability. But we are still better than Seattle. Stories that make you say “Hmmmm?” that didn’t fit neatly into any other spot on the show.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Regia Degastino in hiszle He studio Whizzle.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Sizzle, Happy Sunday?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Is it we just say happy everything now? I guess yeah,
all right, well, all right on the the important stuff.
There's no business like show business. Oh come on, Raoul,
really you know what happened before the Breakia.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Is I heard it?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
He almost played the fart sound.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, you know when Kayla's not here, that's how we
come on.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I have missed her.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We have a full remix going on right now. Actually
we got.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
The fart show biz remix was terrible.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I will say that kid Cayla is producing from Afar,
only this time, unlike the last, she's actually listening. I
know because she keeps sending me messages throughout the show.
So that's pretty nice. I like that. Thank you, Kayla,
who's not here, and we will pick on you mercilessly.
This is we had. We had sad news this week.
A couple of different sad news announcements in the world
(01:05):
of show business. The first is that don't call him
Norm George Wink passed away. Are you doing nom?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Cut the small talk?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And give me a beer. That's going on, science is
seeking a cure for thirst. I happened to be the
guinea pig everybody norm Vietnam. No I know what they
look like.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Just formula.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
That would receive six consecutive Emmy nominations for his role
on Cheers. He played it for eleven seasons and two
hundred and sixty nine episodes from nineteen eighty two to
nineteen ninety three. Went started his comedy career in nineteen
seventy four at the famed Second City in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Over many years, that's pretty impressive. He's second. Getting into
Second City is monumental task to begin with, but he
does that, and then eight years later he's on one
of the biggest sitcoms in America. That's pretty fast. Heres.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
He appeared in movies and on TV, but it's safe
to say Cheers was his crowning achievement, and quite an
impressive one. Went to survive by Bernadette, his wife of
almost forty seven years, and their three children. I should
note that today coincidentally is the thirty second anniversary of
the Cheers finale.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
All right, so not today, but when he passed away.
So yeah, that's your bed. I always liked him and
I got a kick out of it when I was
much younger, obviously, when I saw the old Dub Bears
bit on Saturday Night Live, and it dawned on me, like,
wait a minute, that's not one of the cast members.
(02:49):
That's Norm and I always just got a kick out
of that. The other bad news item that we got
this week was about Bill Joel. Bill had to cancel
his tours, and I was very sadain to hear that
he is dealing with a brain issue.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
A major health battle for legendary singer songwriter Billy Joel
Well his friends call him Bill, forcing him to cancel
concerts for more than a year. Joel had announced a
four month break from touring after falling during a show
in Connecticut back in February. He says recent performances have
made things worse, leading to hearing, vision and balance problems. Today,
(03:31):
the seventy six year old revealed his diagnosis, saying he
has a brain disorder called normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
As a mouthful, but it's normal pressure. Shouldn't that be better?
Speaker 7 (03:41):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Doctor says he must stop performing while he undergoes physical therapy.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
So at rest in a healthy brain, it's continuously making
a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid, and it's also continuously absorbing
that fluid to keep the fluid levels in the brain
in the right balance. And what happens with normal pressure
hydrocephalus is that balance is thrown off.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The condition primarily it's kind of like when you go,
like your oil pressure is off in your car. Okay,
so here we send a mechanic in there and fix it.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
The condition primarily affects people over the age of sixty
and is often mistaken for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's mind, but
it is treatable. Oh with tickets to a canceled show
will receive an automatic refund. Billy Joel says he's thankful
for the care he's receiving, He's grateful for the support
of his fans, and looks forward to the day he
can return to the stage.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Wow, would you come back, Apprigita. You're a you're a
natural born performer. You're a natural born performer? Right?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh, no, not at all? Are you kidding me? Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Come on, you've done the TV or an Instagram star.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
But it's it's been something I've really really had to
work to do my husband.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Is I am not?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Okay? So is he an actor? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
He was an actor and then also a musician.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
All right, so you or him? What is he? If
you have an incredibly successful career, few people will have
a career as big as Billy Jewels. And I get
that that's what drives him. But at his age, after
dealing with this brain issue, would you even want to
go back on stage? Because I'd be like, that was
a good time. You know what, I'm gonna go buy.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
It in your kind of retirement years and it's just
like something fun. I mean, I don't think I would
want to go like hardcore like they do many many
nights in a row, once at a time.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, thank you. That's intense. At that age, he.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Was doing like a residency at the Madison Square Garden.
I mean, that's crazy hard work. I would just be like, no,
you know what, I'm just gonna enjoy what I got
And if I get a phone called you're.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Not Billy Joel, Okay, No we're not, because we want to, Jill.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'll tell you what makes me happy is I get
the trades in radio all the time, and so I'm
reading the trades, and I see so and so is
retiring from whatever big station w PhD in Philadelphia or
w COP in Washington, or you know, wgn and in
Chicago or whatever it is. And you get so and
so he's been there since nineteen eighty two and they're
(06:04):
now retiring. And there's this little bit of me that
goes good for them, good job, because I also see
in the trades so and so of whatever station wf
AN or you know, WDFW, whatever it is. Right, they
passed away unexpectedly over the weekend, and you go, they
(06:28):
were on the air until they died. I just don't
want to do that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I worked with Larry King for a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Larry died, I mean basically on the air.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
He was on the air basically.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
God what. I love to hear some of your war stories,
because I have heard some Larry King war stories, and
I know there's some good ones.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
He was honestly great.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I mean, I'm sure he was.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I don't have any war stories. I liked to interviewed
so many people.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Did he ever fall asleep?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
No? No, No, that guy was.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Oh I've heard some stories. I've heard some stories and
old Larry fall asleep back in the old days and
he's just doing the radio.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I don't lame him.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh, Larry, just a Pittsburgh you're on the line. Yeah,
I've heard those stories. Speaking of stories, I love a
great story. I love this story about doctor Dre this week.
I love hearing when you have somebody that goes rags
to riches and says, what can I do to give back?
Speaker 9 (07:26):
A major milestone for the city of Compton.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
The what now? Yeah? Yeah, we will, all right, all right,
just give me an excuse.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
Compton High School unveiling it's brand new two hundred million
dollar campus. Ribbon cutting ceremony featured Compton native doctor Dre,
who donated ten million dollars to help fund the state
of the art performing arts center that now bears his name.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That's so great.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's a certain kind of grit that gets cultivated navigating.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, people, you have one of the greatest recording artists
of all time, the biggest star to come out of
your high school. I think I don't know. It's I'm
not familiar with all the different alumps. Can you get
the man a microphone that works? He's putting it is
a two hundred million dollar facility and you've got a
microphone that sounds like that. It's a certain kind of
grit that gets come on now.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
It's cultivated navigating these streets, and that grit kevered me
farther that I could ever imagine.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But I'm also excited to see the kind of talent
that emerges when grit is paired with a first rate education.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So dream big, God did. That's amazing.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
A new campus includes an Olympic sized pool, massive gem
and cutting edge classrooms. By the way, the old Compton
Height campus yeah, was nearly one hundred and twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Wow, Wow, I'm excited about that. So good. Honya Dre
love that story. I absolutely adore it all right, from
celebrities who we miss, to celebrities that we wish well,
and celebrities that we give big kudos for for their accomplishments,
and then giving back to celebrities that we warn our
(09:14):
kids about. That is next as we continue. There's no
business like show business. Boy, you are all over that right,
spirits got one job listening to this girl, it's next.
I am six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeart
(09:34):
Ready app.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're listening to Kfi am six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Y if I am six forty more stimulating talk on
demand anytime on the iHeartRadio app. And when you're on
that app, you can hit the talk back button and
let us know what you think about whatever the topic
is we're discussing. Or you can give us an answer
to our question on the talk back tonight, which we'll
we'll hash out right after we get our news from
Brigida at six thirty, and that is, if the apocalypse
were happen, where are you going? There was a study
(10:03):
that came out. I talked about a potential zombie apocalypse
and where you should and should not go. Curious about
what your thoughts are if there if an apocalypse happens,
and let's just say, you can say zombie apocalypse, you
can say any other apocalypse. Where are you going? And
the kind of apocalypse matters, It's called a zombie apocalypse.
If the apocalypse happens, where are you going? That's on
(10:23):
the talk back and Brigitte, I want you to think
about this. I'm gonna put you on the spot after
your news at six thirty right, so be thinking about
where you would go if if we had a zombie apocalypse,
all right, from some respectable celebrities we discussed in the
last segment to the grossest celebrities. I think in this
(10:46):
time around. The latest on Diddy's trial as a lot
of witnesses taking the stage and not painting a very
pretty picture of Diddy.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
The prosecution today began trying to build their case against
on Combs as one that goes beyond domestic violence, and
they also tried to answer the question why would victims
who endured his alleged abuse choose to stay.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, that's a question they keep asking, and I see
some people asking that question. But man like I have
seen this play out before, domestic violence survivors, they stay
for a number of different reasons.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Forensic psychologist Don Hughes, who appeared in high profile cases before,
including the case of Amber Herd versus Johnny Depp, testified
that it is common for domestic violence victims to stay
with their abusers because of financial dependence and because they
see no better options. Last week, a former friend said Cassie.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Vin, Yeah, in breaking up, it's hard to do. Let's
be honest. That's one of the things that like, Okay,
well he didn't mean it. He's a really nice guy.
And I'm saying he because remember Johnny Depp was saying
that Amber Herd was the abuser. He's a really nice guy.
He didn't mean it and him and I don't want
to end it, right and you go, but my god,
(12:03):
you're coming up with bruises, you know. Okay, but it's
not that bad. Right then they start making excuses for
the abuser, and it's a vicious cycle.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Insura told her she could not leave ex boyfriend Shawn
Combs because of the resources he provided, despite allegedly enduring
years of abuse and forced sexual encounters with male escorts.
A Homeland Security agent testified that during the raid on
combes home in Miami, agents found drugs and guns and
baby oil and lubricants, but acknowledged that many of the
(12:33):
firearms were unloaded and wrapped in tape and inoperable.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Okay, so we knew that there was baby oil was
coming out in this at some point because we heard
about the the raids. But oh, the guns were wrapped
in tape. What I got to tell you, friends, I
grew up in the Great White North and we had
to take one hundred safety course in junior high and
at no point did they say that proper firearm handling
(12:59):
involved taping up the gun, so that's just weird. And
then Kid Cutty took the stage.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
Scott miss Cutty aka rapper Kid Cutty walked into the
courthouse with swagger, dressed in a black leather jacket, jeans,
and smoking a cigarette before he told jurors about the
alleged threats he faced from one of the biggest names
in hip hop, Sean Diddy Combs. Kid Cutty taking jurors
back to the twenty eleven twenty twelve time period when
he says he dated Cassie Ventura and face threats from
(13:28):
Combs because of that relationship. He says his assistant alerted
him that Combs was in his home, testifying that when
he raced back, Combs was gone, but things were tampered
with and his dog was locked in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Don't mess with the dog. Look, we saw John Wick.
We know don't mess with the man's dog. We just
don't mess with the dog.
Speaker 10 (13:46):
Dog didn't do anything to you, Kid Cutty says. Another
time his car was.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Set on I know they apparently locked the dog in
there and keep the dog away from them while they
were screwing with his house kid.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
Cutty says another time his car was set on fire
with a Molotov cocktail as it sat in his Los
Angeles driveway. The jury seeing photos of the burned Porsche,
Cuddy testify.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Wait a minute, what does she saying saw photos?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Hang on?
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Go back here, guys, jury seeing photos of the burned Porsche.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I don't think that's how you say that, poors. That's
not how you say that, is it? Hold on? Let
me just google this real quick. Google. How do I
say the name of that car? Is it Poorsche or
is it Bullshore Porsche? Thank you? Thank you Google. I
appreciate thank you Google, very good for future reference. How
(14:35):
do you say that word? It's Bull's polo show, Bull
Show poll show, Bull Show poll Sha. All right, so
back to this they did what.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
The jury seeing photos of the burned hang.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
On, I'm going to fix this forner. You don't get
this on other radio shows where they actually will fix
the mistake of the TV people. But I am going
to do just that because I have wicked skill. Okay, uh,
rewind it. Let's trite again.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
As it sat in his Los Angeles driveway, the jury
seeing photos of the burned bullshe Cuddy testifying he met
up with Combs at private social club Soho House in
La a few days later because he thought he was
responsible and thought, quote, this is getting out of hand.
Laughter heard in the courtroom, and Cutty told jurors Combs
looked like quote a Marvel supervillain with his hands behind
his back looking out the window.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Pretty descriptive, though, I mean they might be laughing with it.
I mean, we all know exactly what he means.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He says.
Speaker 10 (15:31):
When he asked Combs, what about my car, he allegedly said,
with a cold stare, I don't know what you're talking about.
Cuddy testifying he thought Combs was lying, and several years later,
when they ran into each other a kid Cutty testified
that Comb said, quote, man, I just want to apologize
for everything.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Kid Cutty's testimony specifically goes to the racketeer on conspiracy and.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Eric, Ah, that's what they're doing. They're setting up the racketeering.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
In regards to the racketeer and conspiracy, you have to
prove at least two predicate acts, and one of those
acts that the prosecution are trying to prove is that
of Arson for blowing up the bar of Kit Cutty.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
Combs was never charged for that incident, and his lawyers
deny his involvement.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
All right, so Cuttie says, he blew up my uh
thank you and this is all part of the racketeering. Okay,
I got you. So from the latest on Uh Diddy's
disaster to how about another celebrity? Who is that a
(16:30):
change of heart? I know as you caught this, Kanye
West has decided he's no longer a Nazi. Yep, Yay
is asking for God's forgiveness, says he is done with
anti Semitism. No, I didn't realize you could turn on
and off so quickly. Yep, He's asking for absolution while
expressing a newfound stance of inclusivity and remorse, saying I'm
(16:54):
done with anti Semitism. I love all people. And then
he said, God forgive me for the pain that I've caused.
So there it is. After claiming he loved Adolf Hitler
and putting out shirts with swastika is on them, He's
(17:16):
now decided Nope, actually I'm I'm on the anti Semitic
all of a sudden, somehow, I think it's gonna take
a little more than that. I'm just I'm just supposing,
all right, if the apocalypse happens, where are you going?
You're gonna you're you're probably wondering why you've been talking
about this, you goober. You're gonna find out why and
(17:37):
then give it some thought. Next. So, Chris Merril KFI
AM six forty we are live everywhere on the iHeart
Ready app.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
All right, welcome back to the show. It's Chris Merrill
k if I AM six forty eight. More stimulating talk
and the podcast for tonight's program is gonna be the
featured segments at KFI AM six forty dot com. So
I've been asking all night long if we were to
have a zombie apocalypse, where are you going? The reason
I ask is that there was a study done and
(18:09):
it was a very important study, probably the most important
study flash picks, which you're quite familiar with. When you
think of flash picks, No, Raoul, it's not about people
taking pictures of flashing, although reasonable for you to think
that it's a sports gambling website. Okay, So they ranked
all thirty NFL stadiums according to how good of a
(18:30):
refuge they would be in the event of a Last
of Us style zombie apocalypse. And I think there's new.
There's new Last of Us tonight, right. Bella Ramsey is
catching all kinds of grief online. People are being really
(18:50):
awful to her today. Excuse me being really awful today
to them. I guess trying to say it correctly online
because she's excuse me, they are non binary. I'm trying
to get used to it. And I apologize they are
non binary, and people are very upset, and then they
say that she's ruining the show, that they are ruining
(19:11):
the show. See, it's just habit. I apologize that they
are saying that the people are saying that they are
ruining the show and that they don't look like the
original video game character. I guess so people that did
love the show when Pedro Pascal is there. Pedro Pascal
(19:32):
is still on the show spoiler alert, but she has
sort of assumed the lead role. Again, my apologies, Bella
Ramsey has sort of assumed the lead role, and so
people are saying that they are a bad actor. Whatever.
So if we were to have a Last of Us
(19:54):
style zombie apocalypse and for those unfamiliar. The last of us.
Zombies aren't technically zombies. There are people that have become
infected with a fungus that eats their brain and makes
them want to eat people and brains, so basically they're zombies.
So I was asking throughout the night, where would you
go if the apocalypse were to occur? Brigina, I told
(20:17):
you to be prepared.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I'm going to Costco. Man, they got everything.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
They got food, solar panels, kayaks, zip ties, my jimmies,
flannel are good. Like you know, I'll bring a leaf
blower so can blast these zombies off their feet. They've
got Cosco's got, you know, anti fungals.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Ah smart, that's good. Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Yeah,
go to Costco like, oh no, zombie boom tough act intacting. Yes,
Like that's smart, that's smart. I have I thought of
a few things Costco. You're the first person who had
to say Costco. I've said that in the past. I'mb
apocalypse happening, and I'm going to Costco.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
By the way, I haven't been to Costco in like
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Oh Costco or better the Costco distribution center or a
business center because fewer people will go to the business
center because they're like, ah, what if I want a
TV or maybe some jewelry, No, go to the business center.
They don't have all like garbage. They only have the
essentials or distribution center or if you go to an
Amazon distribution center, now are there. It's more than just
(21:16):
they have everything. They also have security. You can close
those doors, you can lock it up tight. And yeah,
and in the case of Costco, they have a functioning kitchen,
that is if you have power, but they also have generators, right,
so that makes sense. You can lock it up tight,
you can stay secure. The problem with this and also
we had people that were calling and they were saying
(21:37):
they were hitting our talk back and they were saying
Catalina Island, which I think is a good idea too,
because zombies can't swim in all of these cases, though
others are going there too, exactly right. So that's where
things get a little bit. And I also think because
I saw a Fear the Walking Dead which actually started
in Los Angeles. You know, The Walking Dead was in Georgia,
(21:58):
but Fear the Walking Dead, which was the spin off,
they started here. Then they did something the characters did
when they ran into Coleman Domingo's character. He was on
a yacht and again, zombies can't swim. But what they
found was and this is the same problem you're gonna
have it with the Costco and the Catalina Island. They
(22:18):
ran into other people who were then horrible because when
society breaks down all of a sudden, the people that
really we were smart, right, the people that succeeded very
well in today's society. The Titans of today are slaves
in the apocalypse, not.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Jeff Bezos and Elon though, because they're gonna fly up
to space.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Oh good call, Yeah, all right, they'll go and habit Mars.
That's fine, exactly. So there was also what was it,
What's called The Last Man on Earth? Great comedy, and
Jason Sedeika shows up in the second season spoiler alert,
and he was an astronaut who had been stranded on
(23:03):
the space station when the apocalypse happened. Yeah, so think
about the think about the poor astronauts that are on
the space station. Like you thought you thought those two
that that that wait for like nine months to come
back at it rough. Just wait until you're up there
and you're like, hello, NASA, you home. Right. So here's
(23:24):
the thing, though, take take your Jeff Bezos, take your
take your Donald Trump's, take your find somebody in the left.
I don't care. This isn't a right left thing. But
take these billionaires there can Warren Buffets right, take your
Bill Gates. These people are incredibly resourceful there or or intelligent,
and they've been They've built incredible businesses. If they are well,
(23:46):
they might you know, if they're ahead of it, then
they're okay. Yeah, but I think if the apocalypse comes,
street smarts are more valuable than boardroom smarts because nobody
cares about your hedges or your leverage buyouts or any
of your counting tricks. There is no irs any longer.
Borders don't matter. No longer do you have to fear ice.
(24:06):
But those ice agents who might be trained and actually
have weaponry, they're gonna be an asset. So when rule
of law breaks down, you have a new hierarchy of importance.
Doctors become insanely valuable. Security specialists become insanely valuable, but
they are also people who can survive on their own,
(24:26):
who don't need you. Society breaks down. So if you're
a costco, everybody else is trying to get there. If
you're a Catalina Island, you're having awful lot of other
people trying to get to Catalina Island too, So how
do you protect yourself against them? And as I said
in Fear of the Walking Dead, they got onto a boat,
onto a yacht. That was great until effectively pirates showed up.
(24:48):
Smaller boat, but they had guns, right, so they come along.
I always thought, bolly, if you can get to an
aircraft carrier, that would be a great place to hole up,
just off the sea for a little bit. That is,
assuming you can get on the carrier and you aren't
booted in the same way, if you can get into
the costco, if you can get to Catalina Island. But
I started thinking about it the best place for survival,
(25:12):
and so figure out the best place for survival. If
we're doing an exercise on the apocalypse and the government
has done this before, that is zombies. They did the
zombie apocalypse because they wanted to put a little bit
of a twist on it and garner some interest. But
the government does think about emergency preparedness. What do we
do if if we have a nuclear attack and there's fallout,
(25:34):
Where do we tell people to go, how do they
get there? How do they survive? If all of a
sudden we have another problem, how do we deal with that?
And I think you have to go back to Maslow's
hierarchy of needs. Day one basics shelter, food, water, sleep, clothing.
You have to have those things. And I know what
you're saying. You're saying, well, Costco has that at least
in the short run. If you can do it, if
you can get to Costco short term, do it. You
(25:57):
need security and health.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
That's kind of your one of Costco is if you
bring a bunch of weapons and you prevent anyone else
from coming in, you just take.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
It over absolute. The other thing to keep in mind
is the castle a pod. Yes, so well put. But
also if the apocalypse happens and you show up at
Costco Brigita and you don't have a Costco card, I'm
not letting you in. Okay, So here's my plan. Day
one starts someplace that has a lot of resources and
(26:26):
actually has a lot of people, because you have strength
in numbers early on, which is tough because I hate people.
So you have Costco or an Amazon distribution center. But
it's not going to take long, just a day or two.
You need to formulate a plan. If you don't formulate
a plan, there's going to be an issue because they
will start to break down a turn on one another.
(26:46):
You have to be patient enough so that you can
think clearly, but not so patient is to become a
sitting target or get wrapped up in their drama as
society breaks down. You don't want to be a part
of that. You got to get away, which means full
tank of gas in a large vehicle, If you can
pack extra cans of fuel, do it. If you can
get to that aircraft carrier, get there. If you can
live at sea on a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. You
(27:06):
could do that for a long time. But they're not
gonna let us on because we're not military. A cruise
ship would work. But the other issue is same thing
with Costco, same thing with Catalina Island. Other people start
thinking this way and that must virus. Yeah, because the
last thing you want during the zombie pocalypse is diarrhea.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Is a cruise induced to virus.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, you don't want that. If you can get to
a small island off the coast of southern California, not Catalina,
which I think is where everybody else would be aiming.
That might be all right then, especially if you're at
a remote one that doesn't have people, then it might
not be overrun by zombies to start with. But you're
gonna have to start thinking about fortification locations or isolated locations.
(27:48):
As you put it. The castle really well done. Yeah,
so Alcatraz, Alcatraz is exactly what's on mind. You don't
even have access to my notes. That's exactly what I
was gonna say. Alcatraz could be a winner. If you
can find an area that has wildlife for hunting, that
would be very beneficial. You're going to be returning to
a primitive lifestyle, which means no TikTok, which means no
(28:09):
Instagram influencing, which means all of those influencers are cannon
fodder dead. They're the first ones we put up there.
We go, you know what, Uh, Becky and Sadi and
whatever your name is, Dakota, why don't you walk that
way and see if you can find a sell signal.
(28:29):
Bye bye, that's what we're doing. They're out of here,
and my wife would go insane. Because she wouldn't have
her TikTok. Meanwhile, Becky and Sadie and Dakota are all
trying to make tiktoks. Like when I post this, I'm
gonna a thumbny like they're going to be the worst.
Remote area islands are great. If you can get to
an island that doesn't have a lot of other people,
(28:50):
even better. But the farther away from people, the safer
you are going to be. And that goes for any apocalypse,
not just a zombie apocalypse. Eventually, communities will start to rebuild,
and that's when you have to find when you can
rejoin a community. But in the beginning, it's chaos, absolute chaos.
(29:11):
I like that. It's always a fun exercise, all right.
The kids these days, they just keep sexting, and now
they have help. I'll tell you who's helping them with
their sexting. Next, Chris Merril KFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Apple you're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty more stimulating. Talk The
kids these days, Oh, the kids these days. The latest
is this looking for companionship where are they going? Well,
they're leaning into AI.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You may have heard that some people are substituting therapists
with AI, the chatbots somebody to talk to. Now we're
finding out that the teens, the kids these days, are
developing romantic and sexual conversations with the chat gpt as
can range from romance and innuendo filled to sexually graphic
and even violent conversations. According to interviews with parents and experts.
(30:11):
They're taking place on AI companion tools, but general purpose
AI apps like chat gpt can also create sexual content
with a few clever prompts. Can you believe that teenagers
would be trying to find ways to explore their sexuality,
that their hormones would make them do crazy things like
(30:35):
dirty talk with a robot online? How dare they can't
believe teenagers would do such a thing? Get all horned
up and all the rules go out the window. The
other thing that happens with teenagers is that they get
very upset, get very hurt, and then they want vengeance,
and again they turned to AI. Fortunately, the President did
(30:58):
just sign a bill to try to stop that. There's
a uniques it's from News Nation incidentally.
Speaker 12 (31:03):
Sense of violation people feel when they learn that nude
or sexual photos of them have been posted real or
doctored on the Internet without their permission. This is called
revenge porn, and tens of thousands of people have been
the victims of it. The impact is profound. Some experts
compare the psychological trauma to that experience by sexual assault survivors.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, but AI is different because if AI creates it,
it's not actually the person, right, so are they still damaged? Yeah,
but the person who posts it is going to say
it's not really them. I didn't post anything. I didn't
post their nude body.
Speaker 12 (31:44):
It doesn't matter if you've never posed nude, because AI
now makes it easy to upload your likeness and generate
some deep fake photos with you as the star.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Or in my wife's case, she uploads photos of me
naked but then replaces my head.
Speaker 12 (32:00):
The issue was so serious that it's gotten the attention
of congressional lawmakers from both sides.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Of the aisle, and the President signing a bill now.
Speaker 13 (32:08):
AI image generation. Countless women have been harassed with deep
fakes and other explicit images.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It's nice to hear him staying on script, staying focused,
being professional about.
Speaker 13 (32:21):
This distributed against their will. This is the wrong, and
it's just so horribly wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Sounds like he really feels for him. Nice, you're the
president speaking this way, signing that bill. It's going to
protect the women folk.
Speaker 13 (32:35):
And it's a very abusive situation, like in some cases
people have never seen before.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Okay, there we go. There's Trump started out on script
and then went off like no one has ever seen
anything so abusive before ever.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
Okay, and today we're making it totally illegal.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Totally as opposed to partially. All right, but it's done. Good,
signed it, good call.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Now.
Speaker 12 (33:04):
The long criminalizes revenge porn, including non consensual deep fake
intimate photos. It carries a punishment of up to three
years in prison, and notably, it penalizes social media companies
that don't take the photos down within forty eight hours
of a victim's request.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Oh all right, which was an issue in the past
where somebody had their AI revenge porn revenge porn photo
posted and Snapchat said, no, we don't have to take
it down. It's not you. Okay. Now they do or
they end up in trouble. So now you know, hopefully
we just did something that makes things a little safer
(33:42):
for your kids. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
Please take a moment remember why we're here, and remember
there is a difference. Half of Americans don't know what
Memorial Day is, so a quick reminder. Armed Services Day
for people in uniform, Veterans Day for people who wore
the uniform, Memorial Day for people who will never take
(34:05):
the uniform off. That's how we remember, so honor those
that have fallen. Thank you so much. The great doctor
Wendy Walsh, Doctor Wendy after Dark is next. Chris Merril
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
KFI AM six
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Forty on demand,
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Regia Degastino in hiszle He studio Whizzle.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Sizzle, Happy Sunday?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Is it we just say happy everything now? I guess yeah,
all right, well, all right on the the important stuff.
There's no business like show business. Oh come on, Raoul,
really you know what happened before the Breakia.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Is I heard it?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
He almost played the fart sound.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, you know when Kayla's not here, that's how we
come on.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I have missed her.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We have a full remix going on right now. Actually
we got.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
The fart show biz remix was terrible.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I will say that kid Cayla is producing from Afar,
only this time, unlike the last, she's actually listening. I
know because she keeps sending me messages throughout the show.
So that's pretty nice. I like that. Thank you, Kayla,
who's not here, and we will pick on you mercilessly.
This is we had. We had sad news this week.
A couple of different sad news announcements in the world
(01:05):
of show business. The first is that don't call him
Norm George Wink passed away. Are you doing nom?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Cut the small talk?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And give me a beer. That's going on, science is
seeking a cure for thirst. I happened to be the
guinea pig everybody norm Vietnam. No I know what they
look like.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Just formula.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
That would receive six consecutive Emmy nominations for his role
on Cheers. He played it for eleven seasons and two
hundred and sixty nine episodes from nineteen eighty two to
nineteen ninety three. Went started his comedy career in nineteen
seventy four at the famed Second City in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Over many years, that's pretty impressive. He's second. Getting into
Second City is monumental task to begin with, but he
does that, and then eight years later he's on one
of the biggest sitcoms in America. That's pretty fast. Heres.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
He appeared in movies and on TV, but it's safe
to say Cheers was his crowning achievement, and quite an
impressive one. Went to survive by Bernadette, his wife of
almost forty seven years, and their three children. I should
note that today coincidentally is the thirty second anniversary of
the Cheers finale.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
All right, so not today, but when he passed away.
So yeah, that's your bed. I always liked him and
I got a kick out of it when I was
much younger, obviously, when I saw the old Dub Bears
bit on Saturday Night Live, and it dawned on me, like,
wait a minute, that's not one of the cast members.
(02:49):
That's Norm and I always just got a kick out
of that. The other bad news item that we got
this week was about Bill Joel. Bill had to cancel
his tours, and I was very sadain to hear that
he is dealing with a brain issue.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
A major health battle for legendary singer songwriter Billy Joel
Well his friends call him Bill, forcing him to cancel
concerts for more than a year. Joel had announced a
four month break from touring after falling during a show
in Connecticut back in February. He says recent performances have
made things worse, leading to hearing, vision and balance problems. Today,
(03:31):
the seventy six year old revealed his diagnosis, saying he
has a brain disorder called normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
As a mouthful, but it's normal pressure. Shouldn't that be better?
Speaker 7 (03:41):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Doctor says he must stop performing while he undergoes physical therapy.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
So at rest in a healthy brain, it's continuously making
a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid, and it's also continuously absorbing
that fluid to keep the fluid levels in the brain
in the right balance. And what happens with normal pressure
hydrocephalus is that balance is thrown off.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The condition primarily it's kind of like when you go,
like your oil pressure is off in your car. Okay,
so here we send a mechanic in there and fix it.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
The condition primarily affects people over the age of sixty
and is often mistaken for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's mind, but
it is treatable. Oh with tickets to a canceled show
will receive an automatic refund. Billy Joel says he's thankful
for the care he's receiving, He's grateful for the support
of his fans, and looks forward to the day he
can return to the stage.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Wow, would you come back, Apprigita. You're a you're a
natural born performer. You're a natural born performer? Right?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh, no, not at all? Are you kidding me? Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Come on, you've done the TV or an Instagram star.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
But it's it's been something I've really really had to
work to do my husband.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Is I am not?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Okay? So is he an actor? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
He was an actor and then also a musician.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
All right, so you or him? What is he? If
you have an incredibly successful career, few people will have
a career as big as Billy Jewels. And I get
that that's what drives him. But at his age, after
dealing with this brain issue, would you even want to
go back on stage? Because I'd be like, that was
a good time. You know what, I'm gonna go buy.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
It in your kind of retirement years and it's just
like something fun. I mean, I don't think I would
want to go like hardcore like they do many many
nights in a row, once at a time.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, thank you. That's intense. At that age, he.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Was doing like a residency at the Madison Square Garden.
I mean, that's crazy hard work. I would just be like, no,
you know what, I'm just gonna enjoy what I got
And if I get a phone called you're.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Not Billy Joel, Okay, No we're not, because we want to, Jill.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'll tell you what makes me happy is I get
the trades in radio all the time, and so I'm
reading the trades, and I see so and so is
retiring from whatever big station w PhD in Philadelphia or
w COP in Washington, or you know, wgn and in
Chicago or whatever it is. And you get so and
so he's been there since nineteen eighty two and they're
(06:04):
now retiring. And there's this little bit of me that
goes good for them, good job, because I also see
in the trades so and so of whatever station wf
AN or you know, WDFW, whatever it is. Right, they
passed away unexpectedly over the weekend, and you go, they
(06:28):
were on the air until they died. I just don't
want to do that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I worked with Larry King for a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Larry died, I mean basically on the air.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
He was on the air basically.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
God what. I love to hear some of your war stories,
because I have heard some Larry King war stories, and
I know there's some good ones.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
He was honestly great.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I mean, I'm sure he was.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I don't have any war stories. I liked to interviewed
so many people.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Did he ever fall asleep?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
No? No, No, that guy was.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Oh I've heard some stories. I've heard some stories and
old Larry fall asleep back in the old days and
he's just doing the radio.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I don't lame him.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh, Larry, just a Pittsburgh you're on the line. Yeah,
I've heard those stories. Speaking of stories, I love a
great story. I love this story about doctor Dre this week.
I love hearing when you have somebody that goes rags
to riches and says, what can I do to give back?
Speaker 9 (07:26):
A major milestone for the city of Compton.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
The what now? Yeah? Yeah, we will, all right, all right,
just give me an excuse.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
Compton High School unveiling it's brand new two hundred million
dollar campus. Ribbon cutting ceremony featured Compton native doctor Dre,
who donated ten million dollars to help fund the state
of the art performing arts center that now bears his name.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That's so great.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's a certain kind of grit that gets cultivated navigating.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, people, you have one of the greatest recording artists
of all time, the biggest star to come out of
your high school. I think I don't know. It's I'm
not familiar with all the different alumps. Can you get
the man a microphone that works? He's putting it is
a two hundred million dollar facility and you've got a
microphone that sounds like that. It's a certain kind of
grit that gets come on now.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
It's cultivated navigating these streets, and that grit kevered me
farther that I could ever imagine.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But I'm also excited to see the kind of talent
that emerges when grit is paired with a first rate education.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So dream big, God did. That's amazing.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
A new campus includes an Olympic sized pool, massive gem
and cutting edge classrooms. By the way, the old Compton
Height campus yeah, was nearly one hundred and twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Wow, Wow, I'm excited about that. So good. Honya Dre
love that story. I absolutely adore it all right, from
celebrities who we miss, to celebrities that we wish well,
and celebrities that we give big kudos for for their accomplishments,
and then giving back to celebrities that we warn our
(09:14):
kids about. That is next as we continue. There's no
business like show business. Boy, you are all over that right,
spirits got one job listening to this girl, it's next.
I am six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeart
(09:34):
Ready app.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're listening to Kfi am six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Y if I am six forty more stimulating talk on
demand anytime on the iHeartRadio app. And when you're on
that app, you can hit the talk back button and
let us know what you think about whatever the topic
is we're discussing. Or you can give us an answer
to our question on the talk back tonight, which we'll
we'll hash out right after we get our news from
Brigida at six thirty, and that is, if the apocalypse
were happen, where are you going? There was a study
(10:03):
that came out. I talked about a potential zombie apocalypse
and where you should and should not go. Curious about
what your thoughts are if there if an apocalypse happens,
and let's just say, you can say zombie apocalypse, you
can say any other apocalypse. Where are you going? And
the kind of apocalypse matters, It's called a zombie apocalypse.
If the apocalypse happens, where are you going? That's on
(10:23):
the talk back and Brigitte, I want you to think
about this. I'm gonna put you on the spot after
your news at six thirty right, so be thinking about
where you would go if if we had a zombie apocalypse,
all right, from some respectable celebrities we discussed in the
last segment to the grossest celebrities. I think in this
(10:46):
time around. The latest on Diddy's trial as a lot
of witnesses taking the stage and not painting a very
pretty picture of Diddy.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
The prosecution today began trying to build their case against
on Combs as one that goes beyond domestic violence, and
they also tried to answer the question why would victims
who endured his alleged abuse choose to stay.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, that's a question they keep asking, and I see
some people asking that question. But man like I have
seen this play out before, domestic violence survivors, they stay
for a number of different reasons.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Forensic psychologist Don Hughes, who appeared in high profile cases before,
including the case of Amber Herd versus Johnny Depp, testified
that it is common for domestic violence victims to stay
with their abusers because of financial dependence and because they
see no better options. Last week, a former friend said Cassie.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Vin, Yeah, in breaking up, it's hard to do. Let's
be honest. That's one of the things that like, Okay,
well he didn't mean it. He's a really nice guy.
And I'm saying he because remember Johnny Depp was saying
that Amber Herd was the abuser. He's a really nice guy.
He didn't mean it and him and I don't want
to end it, right and you go, but my god,
(12:03):
you're coming up with bruises, you know. Okay, but it's
not that bad. Right then they start making excuses for
the abuser, and it's a vicious cycle.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Insura told her she could not leave ex boyfriend Shawn
Combs because of the resources he provided, despite allegedly enduring
years of abuse and forced sexual encounters with male escorts.
A Homeland Security agent testified that during the raid on
combes home in Miami, agents found drugs and guns and
baby oil and lubricants, but acknowledged that many of the
(12:33):
firearms were unloaded and wrapped in tape and inoperable.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Okay, so we knew that there was baby oil was
coming out in this at some point because we heard
about the the raids. But oh, the guns were wrapped
in tape. What I got to tell you, friends, I
grew up in the Great White North and we had
to take one hundred safety course in junior high and
at no point did they say that proper firearm handling
(12:59):
involved taping up the gun, so that's just weird. And
then Kid Cutty took the stage.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
Scott miss Cutty aka rapper Kid Cutty walked into the
courthouse with swagger, dressed in a black leather jacket, jeans,
and smoking a cigarette before he told jurors about the
alleged threats he faced from one of the biggest names
in hip hop, Sean Diddy Combs. Kid Cutty taking jurors
back to the twenty eleven twenty twelve time period when
he says he dated Cassie Ventura and face threats from
(13:28):
Combs because of that relationship. He says his assistant alerted
him that Combs was in his home, testifying that when
he raced back, Combs was gone, but things were tampered
with and his dog was locked in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Don't mess with the dog. Look, we saw John Wick.
We know don't mess with the man's dog. We just
don't mess with the dog.
Speaker 10 (13:46):
Dog didn't do anything to you, Kid Cutty says. Another
time his car was.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Set on I know they apparently locked the dog in
there and keep the dog away from them while they
were screwing with his house kid.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
Cutty says another time his car was set on fire
with a Molotov cocktail as it sat in his Los
Angeles driveway. The jury seeing photos of the burned Porsche,
Cuddy testify.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Wait a minute, what does she saying saw photos?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Hang on?
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Go back here, guys, jury seeing photos of the burned Porsche.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I don't think that's how you say that, poors. That's
not how you say that, is it? Hold on? Let
me just google this real quick. Google. How do I
say the name of that car? Is it Poorsche or
is it Bullshore Porsche? Thank you? Thank you Google. I
appreciate thank you Google, very good for future reference. How
(14:35):
do you say that word? It's Bull's polo show, Bull
Show poll show, Bull Show poll Sha. All right, so
back to this they did what.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
The jury seeing photos of the burned hang.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
On, I'm going to fix this forner. You don't get
this on other radio shows where they actually will fix
the mistake of the TV people. But I am going
to do just that because I have wicked skill. Okay, uh,
rewind it. Let's trite again.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
As it sat in his Los Angeles driveway, the jury
seeing photos of the burned bullshe Cuddy testifying he met
up with Combs at private social club Soho House in
La a few days later because he thought he was
responsible and thought, quote, this is getting out of hand.
Laughter heard in the courtroom, and Cutty told jurors Combs
looked like quote a Marvel supervillain with his hands behind
his back looking out the window.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Pretty descriptive, though, I mean they might be laughing with it.
I mean, we all know exactly what he means.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He says.
Speaker 10 (15:31):
When he asked Combs, what about my car, he allegedly said,
with a cold stare, I don't know what you're talking about.
Cuddy testifying he thought Combs was lying, and several years later,
when they ran into each other a kid Cutty testified
that Comb said, quote, man, I just want to apologize
for everything.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Kid Cutty's testimony specifically goes to the racketeer on conspiracy and.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Eric, Ah, that's what they're doing. They're setting up the racketeering.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
In regards to the racketeer and conspiracy, you have to
prove at least two predicate acts, and one of those
acts that the prosecution are trying to prove is that
of Arson for blowing up the bar of Kit Cutty.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
Combs was never charged for that incident, and his lawyers
deny his involvement.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
All right, so Cuttie says, he blew up my uh
thank you and this is all part of the racketeering. Okay,
I got you. So from the latest on Uh Diddy's
disaster to how about another celebrity? Who is that a
(16:30):
change of heart? I know as you caught this, Kanye
West has decided he's no longer a Nazi. Yep, Yay
is asking for God's forgiveness, says he is done with
anti Semitism. No, I didn't realize you could turn on
and off so quickly. Yep, He's asking for absolution while
expressing a newfound stance of inclusivity and remorse, saying I'm
(16:54):
done with anti Semitism. I love all people. And then
he said, God forgive me for the pain that I've caused.
So there it is. After claiming he loved Adolf Hitler
and putting out shirts with swastika is on them, He's
(17:16):
now decided Nope, actually I'm I'm on the anti Semitic
all of a sudden, somehow, I think it's gonna take
a little more than that. I'm just I'm just supposing,
all right, if the apocalypse happens, where are you going?
You're gonna you're you're probably wondering why you've been talking
about this, you goober. You're gonna find out why and
(17:37):
then give it some thought. Next. So, Chris Merril KFI
AM six forty we are live everywhere on the iHeart
Ready app.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
All right, welcome back to the show. It's Chris Merrill
k if I AM six forty eight. More stimulating talk
and the podcast for tonight's program is gonna be the
featured segments at KFI AM six forty dot com. So
I've been asking all night long if we were to
have a zombie apocalypse, where are you going? The reason
I ask is that there was a study done and
(18:09):
it was a very important study, probably the most important
study flash picks, which you're quite familiar with. When you
think of flash picks, No, Raoul, it's not about people
taking pictures of flashing, although reasonable for you to think
that it's a sports gambling website. Okay, So they ranked
all thirty NFL stadiums according to how good of a
(18:30):
refuge they would be in the event of a Last
of Us style zombie apocalypse. And I think there's new.
There's new Last of Us tonight, right. Bella Ramsey is
catching all kinds of grief online. People are being really
(18:50):
awful to her today. Excuse me being really awful today
to them. I guess trying to say it correctly online
because she's excuse me, they are non binary. I'm trying
to get used to it. And I apologize they are
non binary, and people are very upset, and then they
say that she's ruining the show, that they are ruining
(19:11):
the show. See, it's just habit. I apologize that they
are saying that the people are saying that they are
ruining the show and that they don't look like the
original video game character. I guess so people that did
love the show when Pedro Pascal is there. Pedro Pascal
(19:32):
is still on the show spoiler alert, but she has
sort of assumed the lead role. Again, my apologies, Bella
Ramsey has sort of assumed the lead role, and so
people are saying that they are a bad actor. Whatever.
So if we were to have a Last of Us
(19:54):
style zombie apocalypse and for those unfamiliar. The last of us.
Zombies aren't technically zombies. There are people that have become
infected with a fungus that eats their brain and makes
them want to eat people and brains, so basically they're zombies.
So I was asking throughout the night, where would you
go if the apocalypse were to occur? Brigina, I told
(20:17):
you to be prepared.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I'm going to Costco. Man, they got everything.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
They got food, solar panels, kayaks, zip ties, my jimmies,
flannel are good. Like you know, I'll bring a leaf
blower so can blast these zombies off their feet. They've
got Cosco's got, you know, anti fungals.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Ah smart, that's good. Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Yeah,
go to Costco like, oh no, zombie boom tough act intacting. Yes,
Like that's smart, that's smart. I have I thought of
a few things Costco. You're the first person who had
to say Costco. I've said that in the past. I'mb
apocalypse happening, and I'm going to Costco.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
By the way, I haven't been to Costco in like
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Oh Costco or better the Costco distribution center or a
business center because fewer people will go to the business
center because they're like, ah, what if I want a
TV or maybe some jewelry, No, go to the business center.
They don't have all like garbage. They only have the
essentials or distribution center or if you go to an
Amazon distribution center, now are there. It's more than just
(21:16):
they have everything. They also have security. You can close
those doors, you can lock it up tight. And yeah,
and in the case of Costco, they have a functioning kitchen,
that is if you have power, but they also have generators, right,
so that makes sense. You can lock it up tight,
you can stay secure. The problem with this and also
we had people that were calling and they were saying
(21:37):
they were hitting our talk back and they were saying
Catalina Island, which I think is a good idea too,
because zombies can't swim in all of these cases, though
others are going there too, exactly right. So that's where
things get a little bit. And I also think because
I saw a Fear the Walking Dead which actually started
in Los Angeles. You know, The Walking Dead was in Georgia,
(21:58):
but Fear the Walking Dead, which was the spin off,
they started here. Then they did something the characters did
when they ran into Coleman Domingo's character. He was on
a yacht and again, zombies can't swim. But what they
found was and this is the same problem you're gonna
have it with the Costco and the Catalina Island. They
(22:18):
ran into other people who were then horrible because when
society breaks down all of a sudden, the people that
really we were smart, right, the people that succeeded very
well in today's society. The Titans of today are slaves
in the apocalypse, not.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Jeff Bezos and Elon though, because they're gonna fly up
to space.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Oh good call, Yeah, all right, they'll go and habit Mars.
That's fine, exactly. So there was also what was it,
What's called The Last Man on Earth? Great comedy, and
Jason Sedeika shows up in the second season spoiler alert,
and he was an astronaut who had been stranded on
(23:03):
the space station when the apocalypse happened. Yeah, so think
about the think about the poor astronauts that are on
the space station. Like you thought you thought those two
that that that wait for like nine months to come
back at it rough. Just wait until you're up there
and you're like, hello, NASA, you home. Right. So here's
(23:24):
the thing, though, take take your Jeff Bezos, take your
take your Donald Trump's, take your find somebody in the left.
I don't care. This isn't a right left thing. But
take these billionaires there can Warren Buffets right, take your
Bill Gates. These people are incredibly resourceful there or or intelligent,
and they've been They've built incredible businesses. If they are well,
(23:46):
they might you know, if they're ahead of it, then
they're okay. Yeah, but I think if the apocalypse comes,
street smarts are more valuable than boardroom smarts because nobody
cares about your hedges or your leverage buyouts or any
of your counting tricks. There is no irs any longer.
Borders don't matter. No longer do you have to fear ice.
(24:06):
But those ice agents who might be trained and actually
have weaponry, they're gonna be an asset. So when rule
of law breaks down, you have a new hierarchy of importance.
Doctors become insanely valuable. Security specialists become insanely valuable, but
they are also people who can survive on their own,
(24:26):
who don't need you. Society breaks down. So if you're
a costco, everybody else is trying to get there. If
you're a Catalina Island, you're having awful lot of other
people trying to get to Catalina Island too, So how
do you protect yourself against them? And as I said
in Fear of the Walking Dead, they got onto a boat,
onto a yacht. That was great until effectively pirates showed up.
(24:48):
Smaller boat, but they had guns, right, so they come along.
I always thought, bolly, if you can get to an
aircraft carrier, that would be a great place to hole up,
just off the sea for a little bit. That is,
assuming you can get on the carrier and you aren't
booted in the same way, if you can get into
the costco, if you can get to Catalina Island. But
I started thinking about it the best place for survival,
(25:12):
and so figure out the best place for survival. If
we're doing an exercise on the apocalypse and the government
has done this before, that is zombies. They did the
zombie apocalypse because they wanted to put a little bit
of a twist on it and garner some interest. But
the government does think about emergency preparedness. What do we
do if if we have a nuclear attack and there's fallout,
(25:34):
Where do we tell people to go, how do they
get there? How do they survive? If all of a
sudden we have another problem, how do we deal with that?
And I think you have to go back to Maslow's
hierarchy of needs. Day one basics shelter, food, water, sleep, clothing.
You have to have those things. And I know what
you're saying. You're saying, well, Costco has that at least
in the short run. If you can do it, if
you can get to Costco short term, do it. You
(25:57):
need security and health.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
That's kind of your one of Costco is if you
bring a bunch of weapons and you prevent anyone else
from coming in, you just take.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
It over absolute. The other thing to keep in mind
is the castle a pod. Yes, so well put. But
also if the apocalypse happens and you show up at
Costco Brigita and you don't have a Costco card, I'm
not letting you in. Okay, So here's my plan. Day
one starts someplace that has a lot of resources and
(26:26):
actually has a lot of people, because you have strength
in numbers early on, which is tough because I hate people.
So you have Costco or an Amazon distribution center. But
it's not going to take long, just a day or two.
You need to formulate a plan. If you don't formulate
a plan, there's going to be an issue because they
will start to break down a turn on one another.
(26:46):
You have to be patient enough so that you can
think clearly, but not so patient is to become a
sitting target or get wrapped up in their drama as
society breaks down. You don't want to be a part
of that. You got to get away, which means full
tank of gas in a large vehicle, If you can
pack extra cans of fuel, do it. If you can
get to that aircraft carrier, get there. If you can
live at sea on a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. You
(27:06):
could do that for a long time. But they're not
gonna let us on because we're not military. A cruise
ship would work. But the other issue is same thing
with Costco, same thing with Catalina Island. Other people start
thinking this way and that must virus. Yeah, because the
last thing you want during the zombie pocalypse is diarrhea.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Is a cruise induced to virus.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, you don't want that. If you can get to
a small island off the coast of southern California, not Catalina,
which I think is where everybody else would be aiming.
That might be all right then, especially if you're at
a remote one that doesn't have people, then it might
not be overrun by zombies to start with. But you're
gonna have to start thinking about fortification locations or isolated locations.
(27:48):
As you put it. The castle really well done. Yeah,
so Alcatraz, Alcatraz is exactly what's on mind. You don't
even have access to my notes. That's exactly what I
was gonna say. Alcatraz could be a winner. If you
can find an area that has wildlife for hunting, that
would be very beneficial. You're going to be returning to
a primitive lifestyle, which means no TikTok, which means no
(28:09):
Instagram influencing, which means all of those influencers are cannon
fodder dead. They're the first ones we put up there.
We go, you know what, Uh, Becky and Sadi and
whatever your name is, Dakota, why don't you walk that
way and see if you can find a sell signal.
(28:29):
Bye bye, that's what we're doing. They're out of here,
and my wife would go insane. Because she wouldn't have
her TikTok. Meanwhile, Becky and Sadie and Dakota are all
trying to make tiktoks. Like when I post this, I'm
gonna a thumbny like they're going to be the worst.
Remote area islands are great. If you can get to
an island that doesn't have a lot of other people,
(28:50):
even better. But the farther away from people, the safer
you are going to be. And that goes for any apocalypse,
not just a zombie apocalypse. Eventually, communities will start to rebuild,
and that's when you have to find when you can
rejoin a community. But in the beginning, it's chaos, absolute chaos.
(29:11):
I like that. It's always a fun exercise, all right.
The kids these days, they just keep sexting, and now
they have help. I'll tell you who's helping them with
their sexting. Next, Chris Merril KFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Apple you're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty more stimulating. Talk The
kids these days, Oh, the kids these days. The latest
is this looking for companionship where are they going? Well,
they're leaning into AI.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You may have heard that some people are substituting therapists
with AI, the chatbots somebody to talk to. Now we're
finding out that the teens, the kids these days, are
developing romantic and sexual conversations with the chat gpt as
can range from romance and innuendo filled to sexually graphic
and even violent conversations. According to interviews with parents and experts.
(30:11):
They're taking place on AI companion tools, but general purpose
AI apps like chat gpt can also create sexual content
with a few clever prompts. Can you believe that teenagers
would be trying to find ways to explore their sexuality,
that their hormones would make them do crazy things like
(30:35):
dirty talk with a robot online? How dare they can't
believe teenagers would do such a thing? Get all horned
up and all the rules go out the window. The
other thing that happens with teenagers is that they get
very upset, get very hurt, and then they want vengeance,
and again they turned to AI. Fortunately, the President did
(30:58):
just sign a bill to try to stop that. There's
a uniques it's from News Nation incidentally.
Speaker 12 (31:03):
Sense of violation people feel when they learn that nude
or sexual photos of them have been posted real or
doctored on the Internet without their permission. This is called
revenge porn, and tens of thousands of people have been
the victims of it. The impact is profound. Some experts
compare the psychological trauma to that experience by sexual assault survivors.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, but AI is different because if AI creates it,
it's not actually the person, right, so are they still damaged? Yeah,
but the person who posts it is going to say
it's not really them. I didn't post anything. I didn't
post their nude body.
Speaker 12 (31:44):
It doesn't matter if you've never posed nude, because AI
now makes it easy to upload your likeness and generate
some deep fake photos with you as the star.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Or in my wife's case, she uploads photos of me
naked but then replaces my head.
Speaker 12 (32:00):
The issue was so serious that it's gotten the attention
of congressional lawmakers from both sides.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Of the aisle, and the President signing a bill now.
Speaker 13 (32:08):
AI image generation. Countless women have been harassed with deep
fakes and other explicit images.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It's nice to hear him staying on script, staying focused,
being professional about.
Speaker 13 (32:21):
This distributed against their will. This is the wrong, and
it's just so horribly wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Sounds like he really feels for him. Nice, you're the
president speaking this way, signing that bill. It's going to
protect the women folk.
Speaker 13 (32:35):
And it's a very abusive situation, like in some cases
people have never seen before.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Okay, there we go. There's Trump started out on script
and then went off like no one has ever seen
anything so abusive before ever.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
Okay, and today we're making it totally illegal.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Totally as opposed to partially. All right, but it's done. Good,
signed it, good call.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Now.
Speaker 12 (33:04):
The long criminalizes revenge porn, including non consensual deep fake
intimate photos. It carries a punishment of up to three
years in prison, and notably, it penalizes social media companies
that don't take the photos down within forty eight hours
of a victim's request.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Oh all right, which was an issue in the past
where somebody had their AI revenge porn revenge porn photo
posted and Snapchat said, no, we don't have to take
it down. It's not you. Okay. Now they do or
they end up in trouble. So now you know, hopefully
we just did something that makes things a little safer
(33:42):
for your kids. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
Please take a moment remember why we're here, and remember
there is a difference. Half of Americans don't know what
Memorial Day is, so a quick reminder. Armed Services Day
for people in uniform, Veterans Day for people who wore
the uniform, Memorial Day for people who will never take
(34:05):
the uniform off. That's how we remember, so honor those
that have fallen. Thank you so much. The great doctor
