Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Weird getting on the air at a little after five
o'clock tonight, isn't it cale. It's a little bizarre starting
out after five tonight, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Weird? No, because it's strange. Your time's are wrong. No,
it's just it's just no, it's something important happened last night?
Is that stupid time change thing?
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Yeah, you get an hour more of rest. We're still
doing that crap in some states been doing that. Yeah,
what is it to Hawaii and Arizona don't do it.
And there's like a little corner in uh Indiana that
nobody likes. Think it's like Gary, Indiana's corner. So screw them.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
But yeah, we're still doing the daylight saving nonsense.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh I thought we were in fixes.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
We argue about it twice a year.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Twice a year, the same argument comes up, and the
same thing happens. Nothing Congress introduces legislation, it goes absolutely nowhere, nowhere,
So we're gonna be doomed with this.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I think.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
If here's our talkback today, If you're on the iHeartRadio app,
just to click that talkback button.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
And let us know.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You got about thirty seconds to let us know if
we ever did ditch the time changing nonsense. Would you
prefer permanent daylight saving time, which would give you later
nights summer and winter, or standard time, which would give
you earlier mornings? And there's arguments like I hate these arguments.
It's for the children. We have to have the later
(01:37):
nights so they can play Little League baseball later, we
have to have we have to change it back so
that the sun comes up so that they're not standing
at the.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Bus stop when it's dark. Uh barf.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
How about we just fix the time and then adjust
other things in our lives so that we accommodate accordingly.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Nope, got to do a stupid dance with the alarm clock.
Hate it, Hate it all right?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
If we ditched the time changing, would you prefer daylight
saving time permanently or permanent standard time?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
And I will later on the show tell you if
you're right or wrong.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Will Smith was getting jigguwayed last night homering in the
eleventh inning. H I was. I was telling Andy Reesemeyer,
who just did the previous show, if you're just joining us,
Andy's dynamite By the way, I hate it when people
step in and start doing a radio show like they've
been doing it for years.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
God, I spent so many years just doing bad radio
to try to learn how to do it mediocre. Reesemeier
just like, oh, microphone, look, I'm gonna crush it.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Hate that guy.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So it's purely out of jealousy. He's a genuinely great dude,
but I'm just completely jealous. It pisses me off. So
I was telling him that I was flying last night
and I got in my plane landed about nine o'clock, which,
of course would be ten o'clock today because the stupid
time change crap.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
But it was still nine o'clock last night.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I'm sitting there and I'm watching it on my phone,
and we're all walking through the terminal to go to
baggage claim, and everyone's just staring at their phones, watching
the watching the game go on. And we're standing there
at the at the baggage claim carousel watching our phones.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And then we're.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Waiting outside for our rides to come pick us up,
watching our phones. And it was just it was insane.
It was it was wild. On the flight, I was
watching the game, and I was watching, you know, it
didn't look great. You know, it was early on in
that game.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
It was tough. And then they kept talking about the
stupid stats, like.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh, these teams, both of them are twenty nine and
oh w and they're leading after five innings or whatever
the crap statistic was. And I was thinking, well, there's
gonna be a first time for everything, you know. So
that was that was a thrilling game, to say the
very least. ABC seven was there right after the game ended, too.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Pick your favorite adjective epic where the bottom line is
in Game seven's the home team has now lost five
consecutive times. It looked like, in dramatic fashion that Toronto
would end that, isn't it funny?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
In baseball everything's stats too.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's like, well, these teams are twenty nine to zer
when leading after five innings, with a starting pitcher still
in the bullpen that could come in as a reliever
in the middle innings, and blah blah blah, and he's like, oh,
five times in a row, now they've lost the home.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Baseball's all stats. It is the geekiest game and I
still love it. Thirty two year drought.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Instead, the boys from Hollywood stole the script and they
are the first.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
As you did there, the boys from Hollywood stole the script.
I get it.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Team in twenty five years to go back to back.
Will Toronto be back?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Maybe? But right now the fans and the player maybe
we don't really care.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Players are celebrating back to back World championship.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, there will.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Never be another ball a game like that in my life.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Side, I can't believe that I was here for all
that suffered through all of that.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
It was a thousand percent tailor board.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We're speaking of stats. I did see that there were
a number of players who broke records for like the
most what is it the Toronto catcher the most or
maybe it was the maybe it was our catcher, the
most innings caught in a World series, most hits in
a World Series. And a lot of this is because
you had the the extra innings. So you had that
(05:31):
marathon eighteen inning game in this series, and then you
had another eleven innings last night, giving people additional opportunities
and more innings to be playing and that kind of thing.
So you know, those are some stats that are going
to be on the books for decades.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
We were all there day five Yankee Sagist Bowld series.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
We saw we saw us when that we thought that
was the craziest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
This top that five.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Mile Okay, what forard?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
So what do we do if our team wins? We
blow crap.
Speaker 9 (06:01):
Up where we have a tremendous view just beyond.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
We have a lot of fog that has really developed
over the La Basin, but I can promise you there
are lots of fireworks and calls for also gunshots being
fired into the air, which is very dangerous, and we
want to warn folks not to do that because it
really does pose a danger to your neighbors and to
law enforcement and.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
To reporters who happen to be in helicopters above you.
So maybe don't do that.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Law enforcement out in full force this evening.
Speaker 10 (06:31):
We got some videos to show you just after that
final out as we spotted some of those fireworks here
in the San Fernando Valley. You can see some of
those going off. We've seen all kinds of activity out here.
We are understanding now that the city of La the
La Police Department is now under a tactical alert.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Tactical alert that's a manly or alert.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You've got your alert, you've got your level ones and
level two will alerts. Then you've got the manliest of
all alerts, the tactical alerts.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
The LA County Sheriff's Office has also called for a
Mobile Field Force.
Speaker 11 (07:11):
Mobile Field Force, Strikeforce Dodgers Dodgers Tactical Game seven.
Speaker 10 (07:22):
To respond out to East LA as they prepare for
the bars to empty out and revelers to come out
in full force. But again, both law enforcement agencies are down.
They're helicopters which provide a lot of the reconnaissance on
nights like this, so they are handicapped by not having
the helicopters at the ready because of all of that fog. Again,
(07:42):
much of the LA basin but we're still in it
is completely fogged in, including all of downtown Los Angeles,
where the nine to one one calls and calls for
gunshots being heard are coming in almost constantly.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
So yeah, so any different than a normal night.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Eh, you got fireworks involved in So you got that
going for you, and you gotta love it.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
If you win, you blow stuff up. If your team loses,
you blow stuff up.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
When Game seven comes around, stuff is getting blown up.
No if sands or butts, stuff getting blown up. Everyone is, oh,
we'll get your calls here. We've got a few talkbacks.
If we ditched the time change nonsense. Would you prefer
a permanent daylight saving time, which would give you later
nights and then obviously darker in the morning, Or would
(08:35):
you prefer standard a permanent standard time, which would give
you more light in the morning and then it would
get dark sooner. Pick your poison. I suppose if we
ditch the time change, which one would you go for?
Hit that talk back. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app.
Everybody's calling that Prop fifty a landslide. The people are
writing checks to stop it, though don't agree. They're not
(08:56):
done yet. Why the done deal isn't so certain? Is
next time, Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Coming up here after Eileen's four thirty news, we'll get
to la law, the law makers, the law breakers, and
the times that there ought to be a law that
is still ahead. You just heard the ad that played
there for Prop fifty. It's gonna run right up probably
through Tuesday, middle of the day. Anyway, on Tuesday and
trying to get to the last people on their way
to the polls final message while they sit in their cars.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We'll discuss in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I did ask this question though, because we had changed
stupid clocks again last night. I asked my daughter about this.
I said, I went to lunch with there yesterday. I said, hey,
we got to change clocks. She says, oh, yeah, is
that today? She's so alert. She's very attentive. She just
turned twenty eight. At some point, you'd think that she
(09:54):
would learn how life works.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
But nope, she had She's.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Got a terrible st father. So I guess that's uh.
She was behind the eight ball from the beginning. So
I said, yeah, we got to change our clocks. I go,
which way? I love this? Which way are you going
to change your clock? And she goes, what do you mean?
I said, well, you're supposed to change your clock at
two o'clock in the morning. If you're up at two
o'clock in the morning and you have to change your
(10:20):
your clock, do you change it to three am or
to one am? And she stared at me and she's like,
h three, but my wife is there. My wife has
this terrible habit of trying to help her kids. That's
why they're so dumb, because my wife was helping them
all along. If she had just not helped the kids,
(10:42):
maybe they would have to learn something for themselves.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
But nope. So my wife jumps in and she.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Goes, no, you fall back, and I go, let her
screw this up, and she was, oh, sorry. When I go,
she goes, oh, is it one? And I said, yeah,
it's one.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
She does. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
My phone does it for me. I don't even have
to worry about it. There's there's a problem. That's the
problem with technology is it's literally making us a dumber.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
We don't have to pay attention to anything because the
phone will do it for.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Me, and I don't really have to worry about it.
So we don't even know how how the time changes work.
So why do we why do we even push to
change it? We don't even know how they work. Unbelievable,
all right, So we asked the question, if we ditched
the stupid time change thing, would you prefer permanent daylight
saving time, which would give you later nights, or a
permanent standard time, which would be earlier mornings.
Speaker 10 (11:38):
Hey, Chris, it's day from Boyana Park, Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Uh, good to finally get catch one of your shows. AnyWho,
wait until we're over before you say that, Bud, that's
the whole time change. You might regret that, you might
think it's not so good.
Speaker 10 (11:54):
I prefer getting dark early because I go to bed
early to get up way early.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Before the sun comes up. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Anyways, have a great night, and I always look forward
to hearing your hearing your show.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Thanks here, appreciate it. Man. All right, so there's one
for permanent standard time. Okay, I like.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
It, Chris, I remember correctly, about three four years ago,
California voted your people voted that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Your people, your people. It's California a race.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Now what is that?
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Like?
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Those are my people, that they would stop changing the time,
and uh, nothing ever happened.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I don't know what the government did with it, but.
Speaker 12 (12:40):
As usually, they don't listen to the people out there
in California.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, you're right, we did.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And what we voted for was to give our legislators
the authority to change the time if the government, if
the if Congress were to pass the law that would
allow it.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
That's what we did.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Other states have actually passed a bill that said if
Congress ever does this, we will immediately enact it. California said,
if Congress does this, we have the opportunity to enact it.
So yeah, we passed that proposition, but no, it hasn't
go anywhere. We're waiting on Congress, which is not doing
much about it. Hit us up on that talkback too,
(13:21):
if you have thoughts if we did the time change
which you preferred, permanent daylight saving time which will give
us later nights, or permanent standard time, which is earlier mornings.
Speaking of propositions, we have Prop fifty a vote.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
On that is Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Many of you have already mailed in your ballots Prop fifty.
Early polling shows this could.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Be a runaway.
Speaker 13 (13:42):
Californians appear overwhelmingly in support of Prop fifty.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
It's from maybec seven, according.
Speaker 13 (13:47):
To two new polls, both released just days before election.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
Day, a yes or no on the ballot, but it
might as well be a D, N and R in
terms of the way people responded.
Speaker 13 (13:56):
The Public Policy Institute of California's latest poll shows fifty
six percent of voters would say yes on Prop fifty
and only forty three percent voting no. Mark Baldassari ran
the state White poll and said, there was one big
surprise for this special election.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
What is it The number of people who said that
the outcome on Proposition fifty was very important to them
sixty eight percent. That's the highest I've ever seen anytime
I've ever asked this question in the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Another, Wow, that's a big deal. Is this issue important
to you? And this one seems to be more important
to people than anything else, which is a little strange
because this is this is more of a parliamentary procedural
type proposition. Normally, you would think what is the most
important thing, and you would say, you know, the time
(14:47):
change issue that we had, or you might have something
to do with raising the gas tax, for instance, which
affects so many people. But this is the one that
actually affects people more. They say, there is an interesting
proposal for another ballot initiative though. The proposal eliminate the
(15:09):
rights of legislators who voted for temporary changes to congressional
district maps in response to Texas partisan redistricting to hold
specified offices for five to ten years initiative Constitutional Amendment
that's the name of the bill, but they've shortened it
to irlavuntu.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Pooper, so it rolls off the tongue easier.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Under the proposal, lawmakers would be prohibited from holding public
elected office for ten years or from serving in appointed
positions for five years if they are in favor of
the proposed ballot initiative.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
If they voted to put this on the.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Ballot, then they would be restricted from ever serving again,
from serving again for a decade.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
That's it. That seems constitutional, does it?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's the old you know, if you do your job,
you're gonna be barred from doing your job.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Hack.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
If only more people knew about this, this totally constitutional
hack to government.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
If you do something I don't like as part of
your job, and I disagree with your political stance, you
will be banned from serving an office.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
What a great idea.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
This will definitely pass all muster in all of the courts,
right out up to the top. I can't wait for
the Supreme Court to hear this one. Yes, Justices, I
didn't like what the politician did, and so I would
like to ban them from being a politician for a decade.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Oh wow, you do flaw on that guilty. Pass the
bill my god.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You'd never have anyone in government. I mean, it would
be anarchy. And there are a few of you that
probably think it would be better.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
The lawmakers, the law breakers, the times that there ought
to be a law. Will continue with that in just
a few moments, and more of your thoughts. If we
ditch the time change, would you prefer permanent daylight saving
which would give us later nights, or permanent standard that's
earlier mornings.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Hit us up on that talk back on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You're listening to KFI Am sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Talk about question. If you're on the iHeart Radio app,
just hit that talkback button and let us know. If
we ditch the time change, you want permanent daylight saving
or permanent standard time.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
The daily saving will give you later nights.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
The permanent standard would give you earlier mornings. In other words,
you would be driving to work in the dark, or
you'd be driving home.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
In the dark. In the winter time.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Basically in the summertime, either it gets really light really
early or it stays really light really late, you know
what I mean. That's how it's If somebody could just
fix the the tilt axis of the earth, we would
have this problem all right.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Since Kimmy b it's a pleasure to hear you in
it radio. Oh, I think you should have permanent from
seven to ten timeslot. I always look forward to hearing
from you, and I think I would prefer a standard
time where it gets darker earlier for some reason. But anyway,
looking forward toning you guys on Tuesday night as well,
(18:22):
and tonight.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Oh okay, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, actually I
got I got three.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Gigs this week, so I'm Tuesday election coverage back Wednesday
and then Friday as well. That's too much. It's just
too much, Meryl. I feel like I'm better in small doses.
Kayler would agree. Keyler prefers me in no doses, but
she gets stuck with me. Here's a funny thing behind
(18:48):
the scenes is that I start irritating Kayla about Friday
for the Sunday show. Right Keyla starts working on the show.
She sends some stories, says these might be good, and
I shoot back, you know my response like.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Six seven.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
E scibby toilet.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I really have to talk to someone about getting more
money for this literally weekly torture.
Speaker 12 (19:15):
Love it, Chris, I prefer that we keep daylight saving
time all the time, gives us later sunlight. That poor
guy that called before and said that he has to
get up before the sun, If that's what he's got
to do, then let him be the one out of
one hundred that has to do that. But everybody else,
I believe, would prefer that we have more sunlight than that.
Speaker 14 (19:32):
All right, Okay, who you Chris, please do me a favor. Yeah,
And anyone that comes in to the talk back with
I want to keep the time changes, please find their
(19:54):
home address, send it to me, and I will personally
change their minds.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Oh, it is retarded.
Speaker 15 (20:04):
Oh you can't say that, say that, that's the R word.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
That's really bad. You can't say that anymore. That's really mean.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Oh oh man, what a fellow politically correct guy.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh, first he wants us to dos people, and that
he uses the R word so brazenly.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Oh my pearls are clutched. Oh I'm so offended. Yeah,
I'm over it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
The lawmakers, the lawbreakers at the times that there ought
to be a law. Paris be damned, we had our
own museum get looted. What you don't say, but I
do the Oakland Museum of California. What do they have
in the Oakland Museum of California, like stolen cell phones
and things? Place in California are investigating theft for more
(21:01):
than a thousand items from the collection, including metalwork, jewelry,
Native American baskets, and every day adams like athletic trophies
that tell the story of the Golden State.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Ooh, so, I don't even did.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You hear about this? This is like two weeks old,
this happened. They're just we're just getting the news now.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm guessing they must have stolen the only working phone
at the Oakland Museum. Happened October fifteenth at an off
site storage facility. Oh that's why nobody checks the storage facility.
The museum's director said. The investigation was ongoing. Public artifacts
might show up at flea markets, antique stores are pawn shops.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You think that's where they're unloading.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
The jewels from the Louver heist too? Just at a
flea market? Or is that just for the Oakland Museum? Yeah,
I think you know where I'm going there. They say
they're not just the lost of museum, they're a lost
of the public, our community.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
We're helping.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Our community can help help us bring them home. Estimated
value nearly seventeen dollars in twenty No kidding, that's terrible. Yeah,
the Actually there is some cool stuff in there, neck pieces,
a pair of scrimshaw walrus tusks, and Native American baskets. Actually,
(22:17):
they've got a photo of the walrus tusks and they
they look pretty cool. They were like Native American. They're
carved and they're painted really impressive. All my other sarcasm aside,
that's those things are really cool. There's a lot of
cultural history in those. I hope those that don't end
up in a freaking flea market pawn shop. That's gonna
end up in somebody's attic, and fifty years from now,
(22:39):
someone's gonna say, well, when my grandmother died, we were
cleaning out our house and we found these tusks in
the attic and we wondered if they were worth anything,
and we're gonna go, yeah, they were stolen from the
Oakland Museum, so give them.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Back, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Next somebody, speaking of stealing things, somebody stole the Killer Clown.
Speaker 15 (23:01):
Just in time for Halloween. Penny Wise, the killer clown
is back on his perch in West Hollywood. The creepy
statue first appeared at this bus stop on Santa Monica
and Handcock as part of a chromo for HBO's it
Welcome to Darien, before someone stole it and rigging it
right off its feet.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
HBO had some fun with it, posting a reward flyer
saying they'd checked the sewers.
Speaker 15 (23:22):
Now they've replaced it with a new model.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
I mean kudos to HBO for turning that into a pr.
Speaker 15 (23:27):
Stunt, reportedly equipped with a tracking device.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
All this is West Hollywood, like an air tag or what?
Speaker 15 (23:33):
But perhaps for its world famous Halloween carnival.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
What kind of a tracking device do you put on
your clown decoration? I'm guessing this is not something that
is hike. This has got to be like an air tag, right,
Like nobody's spending more like twenty bucks to put a
GPS track or on a.
Speaker 15 (23:49):
Halloween decoration with street closures, parking restrictions and parks.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Shuck.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Anyway, that all happened uh Friday night, so fun time
had by all. They replaced penny wise with the high
tech GPS version. It's a weird ass time that we
live in. It's standard time, so weird, so bizarre. I
feel like the sun is setting too soon. We'll find
(24:15):
out what the right answer is. If we ditch the
time change, would you prefer permanent daylight saving it's later nights,
or permanent standard time it's earlier mornings. I will tell
you what the right answer is. I will continue to
entertain your thoughts. However, if you're on the iHeart Radio ap,
just hit that talkback button and let us know.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
We asked the talkback question tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
If you're on the iHeart Radio app, just hit that
talkback button and let us know what you think. If
we ditch the time change, would you prefer permanent daylight
saving giving you later nights, or permanent standard time which
is earlier mornings.
Speaker 16 (24:56):
Outside listen to Chris Merrill, Sun's already almost This sucks.
We need daylight saving time to stay continue on throughout
the year.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
This is BS man. Yeah, but think about this.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
You could get up early tomorrow and the sun would
be rising while you have your coffee and listen to
Bill see flip side.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Of that argument.
Speaker 17 (25:19):
Hey, Chris, Big one from Huntington Beach. Oh, big bald,
you're doing well. Feels good to hear your voice. I
want to give you my five cents.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Go on there. It used to be two cents. Man,
Inflation is hitting everything.
Speaker 18 (25:36):
I say either or to be honest with you, but
ideally let's get on the same one that Arizona's on,
because we're supposedly all on the Pacific Standard Time whatever.
But yeah, it'd be kind of weird if we're constantly
off than they are.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
But yeah, dingdal with you.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Ding talk with you, thanks, big one. Yeah, Arizona's on
Mountains Standard Time permanently. So that's why they're with us
for half the year. Because when we do daylight saving time,
we actually jump into the same as Mountain Standard time.
So if we went to standard time, then we would
(26:15):
be behind Arizona by an hour.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
We'd have to go to daylight saving time.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
But if we did that, that's only if the rest
of the nation does it, because if only we do it,
then you'd be going back.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
In time when you go to Nevada. I know, it's dumb,
so dumb, and it looks like we keep talking about it.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
We keep arguing about this every year it's not going
anywhere from News Nation.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
This is something that has been debated in Washington four years,
and even on support from President Trump, who had one
point called on Congress to eliminate it, saying it was
a big inconvenience and very costly, but then later called
it a fifty to fifty issue.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
It's a fifty to fifty issue, and if something's a
fifty to fifty issue, it's hard to get excited about it.
I assume people would like to have more light later,
but some people want to have more light earlier because
they don't want to take their kids to.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
School in the dark.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well maybe they want their tea times earlier, right, Yeah,
early morning golfers, you don't want to You don't want
to be golfing in its twilight. You want to be
golfing at sunrise. See, let me tell you what the
definition of a populacet is. Did you hear that? He
said he doesn't want to touch it because it's a
fifty to fifty issue, so he doesn't see the win.
(27:34):
He doesn't want to pick a side because he doesn't
see a win in it. I'm not saying good or bad,
but when people talk about a populist president. That's what
it's about. It's how do how do my voters feel?
And is there a majority of my voters who feel
one way or another? And if there is, then you
make it a campaign issue or you make it a
(27:54):
political issue of some sort. And if if they're split,
you stay away from it because you don't want to.
You don't want to alienating half of your constituents. See,
he's very good at it. It is interesting to see
how many people are lobbying to keep daylight saving time.
The golf industry is one of them. More evening light
(28:17):
means more tea times, they say, more rounds played, and
more money spent at courses. Golf industry is worth about
seventy billion dollars annually. They have lobbied to keep daylight
saving time since the nineteen eighties. See, and I thought
that they would like to have earlier mornings, but nope,
retailing food extra daylight in the evening keeps people out
(28:38):
shopping and eating later. So not only that, but then
the grilling companies so that they say that they gain
one hundred million dollars in extra sales from people barbecuing
after work. But I should also point out that the
daylight saving time happens in the summer when we're barbecuing
after work. I mean, if you're living in Montana, it's
(29:01):
not like you're grilling after work in January, right. So
the one hundred million dollars in extra sales, I don't
know how much that is directly tied to the time change.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
The oil industry says.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
More daylight after work means more driving, which boosts fuel consumption.
Daylight saving time does not save energy. It actually increases
gasoline demand.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Did you know that?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
The flip side is the ski industry would like to
have permanent standard time because darker mornings delay their ability
to open the slopes and sleep. Doctors and most medical
professionals will tell you that getting up earlier is healthier.
Early risers benefit from an alignment with their their societal
schedules at least to less stress improved mental well being.
(29:47):
They're more likely to have regular routines that include consistent
meal times and exercise, which can help lower the risk
of conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. Night owls
are at a higher risk of mental health challenges like anxiety,
and physical health issues like type two diabetes, so the
correct answer is permanent standard time. I'm willing to continue
(30:10):
to entertain your erroneous thoughts, however, as I am always
willing to hear why you think it should be the
other way if we ditch time changing, which would you prefer,
permanent daylight saving later nights or permanent standard earlier mornings.
Will continue to get your thoughts throughout the program. And
where are we on the whole snap thing? It's on,
(30:32):
it's off. It's like we're doing a hokey pokey with
the cal fresh. You'll find out where we are next.
I'm Chris Merril
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Kfi AM six on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Weird getting on the air at a little after five
o'clock tonight, isn't it cale. It's a little bizarre starting
out after five tonight, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Weird? No, because it's strange. Your time's are wrong. No,
it's just it's just no, it's something important happened last night?
Is that stupid time change thing?
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Yeah, you get an hour more of rest. We're still
doing that crap in some states been doing that. Yeah,
what is it to Hawaii and Arizona don't do it.
And there's like a little corner in uh Indiana that
nobody likes. Think it's like Gary, Indiana's corner. So screw them.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
But yeah, we're still doing the daylight saving nonsense.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh I thought we were in fixes.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
We argue about it twice a year.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Twice a year, the same argument comes up, and the
same thing happens. Nothing Congress introduces legislation, it goes absolutely nowhere, nowhere,
So we're gonna be doomed with this.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I think.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
If here's our talkback today, If you're on the iHeartRadio app,
just to click that talkback button.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
And let us know.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You got about thirty seconds to let us know if
we ever did ditch the time changing nonsense. Would you
prefer permanent daylight saving time, which would give you later
nights summer and winter, or standard time, which would give
you earlier mornings? And there's arguments like I hate these arguments.
It's for the children. We have to have the later
(01:37):
nights so they can play Little League baseball later, we
have to have we have to change it back so
that the sun comes up so that they're not standing
at the.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Bus stop when it's dark. Uh barf.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
How about we just fix the time and then adjust
other things in our lives so that we accommodate accordingly.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Nope, got to do a stupid dance with the alarm clock.
Hate it, Hate it all right?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
If we ditched the time changing, would you prefer daylight
saving time permanently or permanent standard time?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
And I will later on the show tell you if
you're right or wrong.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Will Smith was getting jigguwayed last night homering in the
eleventh inning. H I was. I was telling Andy Reesemeyer,
who just did the previous show, if you're just joining us,
Andy's dynamite By the way, I hate it when people
step in and start doing a radio show like they've
been doing it for years.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
God, I spent so many years just doing bad radio
to try to learn how to do it mediocre. Reesemeier
just like, oh, microphone, look, I'm gonna crush it.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Hate that guy.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So it's purely out of jealousy. He's a genuinely great dude,
but I'm just completely jealous. It pisses me off. So
I was telling him that I was flying last night
and I got in my plane landed about nine o'clock, which,
of course would be ten o'clock today because the stupid
time change crap.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
But it was still nine o'clock last night.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I'm sitting there and I'm watching it on my phone,
and we're all walking through the terminal to go to
baggage claim, and everyone's just staring at their phones, watching
the watching the game go on. And we're standing there
at the at the baggage claim carousel watching our phones.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And then we're.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Waiting outside for our rides to come pick us up,
watching our phones. And it was just it was insane.
It was it was wild. On the flight, I was
watching the game, and I was watching, you know, it
didn't look great. You know, it was early on in
that game.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
It was tough. And then they kept talking about the
stupid stats, like.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh, these teams, both of them are twenty nine and
oh w and they're leading after five innings or whatever
the crap statistic was. And I was thinking, well, there's
gonna be a first time for everything, you know. So
that was that was a thrilling game, to say the
very least. ABC seven was there right after the game ended, too.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Pick your favorite adjective epic where the bottom line is
in Game seven's the home team has now lost five
consecutive times. It looked like, in dramatic fashion that Toronto
would end that, isn't it funny?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
In baseball everything's stats too.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's like, well, these teams are twenty nine to zer
when leading after five innings, with a starting pitcher still
in the bullpen that could come in as a reliever
in the middle innings, and blah blah blah, and he's like, oh,
five times in a row, now they've lost the home.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Baseball's all stats. It is the geekiest game and I
still love it. Thirty two year drought.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Instead, the boys from Hollywood stole the script and they
are the first.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
As you did there, the boys from Hollywood stole the script.
I get it.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Team in twenty five years to go back to back.
Will Toronto be back?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Maybe? But right now the fans and the player maybe
we don't really care.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Players are celebrating back to back World championship.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, there will.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Never be another ball a game like that in my life.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Side, I can't believe that I was here for all
that suffered through all of that.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
It was a thousand percent tailor board.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We're speaking of stats. I did see that there were
a number of players who broke records for like the
most what is it the Toronto catcher the most or
maybe it was the maybe it was our catcher, the
most innings caught in a World series, most hits in
a World Series. And a lot of this is because
you had the the extra innings. So you had that
(05:31):
marathon eighteen inning game in this series, and then you
had another eleven innings last night, giving people additional opportunities
and more innings to be playing and that kind of thing.
So you know, those are some stats that are going
to be on the books for decades.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
We were all there day five Yankee Sagist Bowld series.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
We saw we saw us when that we thought that
was the craziest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
This top that five.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Mile Okay, what forard?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
So what do we do if our team wins? We
blow crap.
Speaker 9 (06:01):
Up where we have a tremendous view just beyond.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
We have a lot of fog that has really developed
over the La Basin, but I can promise you there
are lots of fireworks and calls for also gunshots being
fired into the air, which is very dangerous, and we
want to warn folks not to do that because it
really does pose a danger to your neighbors and to
law enforcement and.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
To reporters who happen to be in helicopters above you.
So maybe don't do that.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Law enforcement out in full force this evening.
Speaker 10 (06:31):
We got some videos to show you just after that
final out as we spotted some of those fireworks here
in the San Fernando Valley. You can see some of
those going off. We've seen all kinds of activity out here.
We are understanding now that the city of La the
La Police Department is now under a tactical alert.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Tactical alert that's a manly or alert.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You've got your alert, you've got your level ones and
level two will alerts. Then you've got the manliest of
all alerts, the tactical alerts.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
The LA County Sheriff's Office has also called for a
Mobile Field Force.
Speaker 11 (07:11):
Mobile Field Force, Strikeforce Dodgers Dodgers Tactical Game seven.
Speaker 10 (07:22):
To respond out to East LA as they prepare for
the bars to empty out and revelers to come out
in full force. But again, both law enforcement agencies are down.
They're helicopters which provide a lot of the reconnaissance on
nights like this, so they are handicapped by not having
the helicopters at the ready because of all of that fog. Again,
(07:42):
much of the LA basin but we're still in it
is completely fogged in, including all of downtown Los Angeles,
where the nine to one one calls and calls for
gunshots being heard are coming in almost constantly.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
So yeah, so any different than a normal night.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Eh, you got fireworks involved in So you got that
going for you, and you gotta love it.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
If you win, you blow stuff up. If your team loses,
you blow stuff up.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
When Game seven comes around, stuff is getting blown up.
No if sands or butts, stuff getting blown up. Everyone is, oh,
we'll get your calls here. We've got a few talkbacks.
If we ditched the time change nonsense. Would you prefer
a permanent daylight saving time, which would give you later
nights and then obviously darker in the morning, Or would
(08:35):
you prefer standard a permanent standard time, which would give
you more light in the morning and then it would
get dark sooner. Pick your poison. I suppose if we
ditch the time change, which one would you go for?
Hit that talk back. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app.
Everybody's calling that Prop fifty a landslide. The people are
writing checks to stop it, though don't agree. They're not
(08:56):
done yet. Why the done deal isn't so certain? Is
next time, Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Coming up here after Eileen's four thirty news, we'll get
to la law, the law makers, the law breakers, and
the times that there ought to be a law that
is still ahead. You just heard the ad that played
there for Prop fifty. It's gonna run right up probably
through Tuesday, middle of the day. Anyway, on Tuesday and
trying to get to the last people on their way
to the polls final message while they sit in their cars.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We'll discuss in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I did ask this question though, because we had changed
stupid clocks again last night. I asked my daughter about this.
I said, I went to lunch with there yesterday. I said, hey,
we got to change clocks. She says, oh, yeah, is
that today? She's so alert. She's very attentive. She just
turned twenty eight. At some point, you'd think that she
(09:54):
would learn how life works.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
But nope, she had She's.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Got a terrible st father. So I guess that's uh.
She was behind the eight ball from the beginning. So
I said, yeah, we got to change our clocks. I go,
which way? I love this? Which way are you going
to change your clock? And she goes, what do you mean?
I said, well, you're supposed to change your clock at
two o'clock in the morning. If you're up at two
o'clock in the morning and you have to change your
(10:20):
your clock, do you change it to three am or
to one am? And she stared at me and she's like,
h three, but my wife is there. My wife has
this terrible habit of trying to help her kids. That's
why they're so dumb, because my wife was helping them
all along. If she had just not helped the kids,
(10:42):
maybe they would have to learn something for themselves.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
But nope. So my wife jumps in and she.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Goes, no, you fall back, and I go, let her
screw this up, and she was, oh, sorry. When I go,
she goes, oh, is it one? And I said, yeah,
it's one.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
She does. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
My phone does it for me. I don't even have
to worry about it. There's there's a problem. That's the
problem with technology is it's literally making us a dumber.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
We don't have to pay attention to anything because the
phone will do it for.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Me, and I don't really have to worry about it.
So we don't even know how how the time changes work.
So why do we why do we even push to
change it? We don't even know how they work. Unbelievable,
all right, So we asked the question, if we ditched
the stupid time change thing, would you prefer permanent daylight
saving time, which would give you later nights, or a
permanent standard time, which would be earlier mornings.
Speaker 10 (11:38):
Hey, Chris, it's day from Boyana Park, Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Uh, good to finally get catch one of your shows. AnyWho,
wait until we're over before you say that, Bud, that's
the whole time change. You might regret that, you might
think it's not so good.
Speaker 10 (11:54):
I prefer getting dark early because I go to bed
early to get up way early.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Before the sun comes up. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Anyways, have a great night, and I always look forward
to hearing your hearing your show.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Thanks here, appreciate it. Man. All right, so there's one
for permanent standard time. Okay, I like.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
It, Chris, I remember correctly, about three four years ago,
California voted your people voted that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Your people, your people. It's California a race.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Now what is that?
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Like?
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Those are my people, that they would stop changing the time,
and uh, nothing ever happened.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I don't know what the government did with it, but.
Speaker 12 (12:40):
As usually, they don't listen to the people out there
in California.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, you're right, we did.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And what we voted for was to give our legislators
the authority to change the time if the government, if
the if Congress were to pass the law that would
allow it.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
That's what we did.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Other states have actually passed a bill that said if
Congress ever does this, we will immediately enact it. California said,
if Congress does this, we have the opportunity to enact it.
So yeah, we passed that proposition, but no, it hasn't
go anywhere. We're waiting on Congress, which is not doing
much about it. Hit us up on that talkback too,
(13:21):
if you have thoughts if we did the time change
which you preferred, permanent daylight saving time which will give
us later nights, or permanent standard time, which is earlier mornings.
Speaking of propositions, we have Prop fifty a vote.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
On that is Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Many of you have already mailed in your ballots Prop fifty.
Early polling shows this could.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Be a runaway.
Speaker 13 (13:42):
Californians appear overwhelmingly in support of Prop fifty.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
It's from maybec seven, according.
Speaker 13 (13:47):
To two new polls, both released just days before election.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
Day, a yes or no on the ballot, but it
might as well be a D, N and R in
terms of the way people responded.
Speaker 13 (13:56):
The Public Policy Institute of California's latest poll shows fifty
six percent of voters would say yes on Prop fifty
and only forty three percent voting no. Mark Baldassari ran
the state White poll and said, there was one big
surprise for this special election.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
What is it The number of people who said that
the outcome on Proposition fifty was very important to them
sixty eight percent. That's the highest I've ever seen anytime
I've ever asked this question in the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Another, Wow, that's a big deal. Is this issue important
to you? And this one seems to be more important
to people than anything else, which is a little strange
because this is this is more of a parliamentary procedural
type proposition. Normally, you would think what is the most
important thing, and you would say, you know, the time
(14:47):
change issue that we had, or you might have something
to do with raising the gas tax, for instance, which
affects so many people. But this is the one that
actually affects people more. They say, there is an interesting
proposal for another ballot initiative though. The proposal eliminate the
(15:09):
rights of legislators who voted for temporary changes to congressional
district maps in response to Texas partisan redistricting to hold
specified offices for five to ten years initiative Constitutional Amendment
that's the name of the bill, but they've shortened it
to irlavuntu.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Pooper, so it rolls off the tongue easier.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Under the proposal, lawmakers would be prohibited from holding public
elected office for ten years or from serving in appointed
positions for five years if they are in favor of
the proposed ballot initiative.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
If they voted to put this on the.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Ballot, then they would be restricted from ever serving again,
from serving again for a decade.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
That's it. That seems constitutional, does it?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's the old you know, if you do your job,
you're gonna be barred from doing your job.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Hack.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
If only more people knew about this, this totally constitutional
hack to government.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
If you do something I don't like as part of
your job, and I disagree with your political stance, you
will be banned from serving an office.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
What a great idea.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
This will definitely pass all muster in all of the courts,
right out up to the top. I can't wait for
the Supreme Court to hear this one. Yes, Justices, I
didn't like what the politician did, and so I would
like to ban them from being a politician for a decade.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Oh wow, you do flaw on that guilty. Pass the
bill my god.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You'd never have anyone in government. I mean, it would
be anarchy. And there are a few of you that
probably think it would be better.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
The lawmakers, the law breakers, the times that there ought
to be a law. Will continue with that in just
a few moments, and more of your thoughts. If we
ditch the time change, would you prefer permanent daylight saving
which would give us later nights, or permanent standard that's
earlier mornings.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Hit us up on that talk back on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You're listening to KFI Am sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Talk about question. If you're on the iHeart Radio app,
just hit that talkback button and let us know. If
we ditch the time change, you want permanent daylight saving
or permanent standard time.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
The daily saving will give you later nights.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
The permanent standard would give you earlier mornings. In other words,
you would be driving to work in the dark, or
you'd be driving home.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
In the dark. In the winter time.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Basically in the summertime, either it gets really light really
early or it stays really light really late, you know
what I mean. That's how it's If somebody could just
fix the the tilt axis of the earth, we would
have this problem all right.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Since Kimmy b it's a pleasure to hear you in
it radio. Oh, I think you should have permanent from
seven to ten timeslot. I always look forward to hearing
from you, and I think I would prefer a standard
time where it gets darker earlier for some reason. But anyway,
looking forward toning you guys on Tuesday night as well,
(18:22):
and tonight.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Oh okay, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, actually I
got I got three.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Gigs this week, so I'm Tuesday election coverage back Wednesday
and then Friday as well. That's too much. It's just
too much, Meryl. I feel like I'm better in small doses.
Kayler would agree. Keyler prefers me in no doses, but
she gets stuck with me. Here's a funny thing behind
(18:48):
the scenes is that I start irritating Kayla about Friday
for the Sunday show. Right Keyla starts working on the show.
She sends some stories, says these might be good, and
I shoot back, you know my response like.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Six seven.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
E scibby toilet.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I really have to talk to someone about getting more
money for this literally weekly torture.
Speaker 12 (19:15):
Love it, Chris, I prefer that we keep daylight saving
time all the time, gives us later sunlight. That poor
guy that called before and said that he has to
get up before the sun, If that's what he's got
to do, then let him be the one out of
one hundred that has to do that. But everybody else,
I believe, would prefer that we have more sunlight than that.
Speaker 14 (19:32):
All right, Okay, who you Chris, please do me a favor. Yeah,
And anyone that comes in to the talk back with
I want to keep the time changes, please find their
(19:54):
home address, send it to me, and I will personally
change their minds.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Oh, it is retarded.
Speaker 15 (20:04):
Oh you can't say that, say that, that's the R word.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
That's really bad. You can't say that anymore. That's really mean.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Oh oh man, what a fellow politically correct guy.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh, first he wants us to dos people, and that
he uses the R word so brazenly.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Oh my pearls are clutched. Oh I'm so offended. Yeah,
I'm over it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
The lawmakers, the lawbreakers at the times that there ought
to be a law. Paris be damned, we had our
own museum get looted. What you don't say, but I
do the Oakland Museum of California. What do they have
in the Oakland Museum of California, like stolen cell phones
and things? Place in California are investigating theft for more
(21:01):
than a thousand items from the collection, including metalwork, jewelry,
Native American baskets, and every day adams like athletic trophies
that tell the story of the Golden State.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Ooh, so, I don't even did.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You hear about this? This is like two weeks old,
this happened. They're just we're just getting the news now.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm guessing they must have stolen the only working phone
at the Oakland Museum. Happened October fifteenth at an off
site storage facility. Oh that's why nobody checks the storage facility.
The museum's director said. The investigation was ongoing. Public artifacts
might show up at flea markets, antique stores are pawn shops.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You think that's where they're unloading.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
The jewels from the Louver heist too? Just at a
flea market? Or is that just for the Oakland Museum? Yeah,
I think you know where I'm going there. They say
they're not just the lost of museum, they're a lost
of the public, our community.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
We're helping.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Our community can help help us bring them home. Estimated
value nearly seventeen dollars in twenty No kidding, that's terrible. Yeah,
the Actually there is some cool stuff in there, neck pieces,
a pair of scrimshaw walrus tusks, and Native American baskets. Actually,
(22:17):
they've got a photo of the walrus tusks and they
they look pretty cool. They were like Native American. They're
carved and they're painted really impressive. All my other sarcasm aside,
that's those things are really cool. There's a lot of
cultural history in those. I hope those that don't end
up in a freaking flea market pawn shop. That's gonna
end up in somebody's attic, and fifty years from now,
(22:39):
someone's gonna say, well, when my grandmother died, we were
cleaning out our house and we found these tusks in
the attic and we wondered if they were worth anything,
and we're gonna go, yeah, they were stolen from the
Oakland Museum, so give them.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Back, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Next somebody, speaking of stealing things, somebody stole the Killer Clown.
Speaker 15 (23:01):
Just in time for Halloween. Penny Wise, the killer clown
is back on his perch in West Hollywood. The creepy
statue first appeared at this bus stop on Santa Monica
and Handcock as part of a chromo for HBO's it
Welcome to Darien, before someone stole it and rigging it
right off its feet.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
HBO had some fun with it, posting a reward flyer
saying they'd checked the sewers.
Speaker 15 (23:22):
Now they've replaced it with a new model.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
I mean kudos to HBO for turning that into a pr.
Speaker 15 (23:27):
Stunt, reportedly equipped with a tracking device.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
All this is West Hollywood, like an air tag or what?
Speaker 15 (23:33):
But perhaps for its world famous Halloween carnival.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
What kind of a tracking device do you put on
your clown decoration? I'm guessing this is not something that
is hike. This has got to be like an air tag, right,
Like nobody's spending more like twenty bucks to put a
GPS track or on a.
Speaker 15 (23:49):
Halloween decoration with street closures, parking restrictions and parks.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Shuck.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Anyway, that all happened uh Friday night, so fun time
had by all. They replaced penny wise with the high
tech GPS version. It's a weird ass time that we
live in. It's standard time, so weird, so bizarre. I
feel like the sun is setting too soon. We'll find
(24:15):
out what the right answer is. If we ditch the
time change, would you prefer permanent daylight saving it's later nights,
or permanent standard time it's earlier mornings. I will tell
you what the right answer is. I will continue to
entertain your thoughts. However, if you're on the iHeart Radio ap,
just hit that talkback button and let us know.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
We asked the talkback question tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
If you're on the iHeart Radio app, just hit that
talkback button and let us know what you think. If
we ditch the time change, would you prefer permanent daylight
saving giving you later nights, or permanent standard time which
is earlier mornings.
Speaker 16 (24:56):
Outside listen to Chris Merrill, Sun's already almost This sucks.
We need daylight saving time to stay continue on throughout
the year.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
This is BS man. Yeah, but think about this.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
You could get up early tomorrow and the sun would
be rising while you have your coffee and listen to
Bill see flip side.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Of that argument.
Speaker 17 (25:19):
Hey, Chris, Big one from Huntington Beach. Oh, big bald,
you're doing well. Feels good to hear your voice. I
want to give you my five cents.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Go on there. It used to be two cents. Man,
Inflation is hitting everything.
Speaker 18 (25:36):
I say either or to be honest with you, but
ideally let's get on the same one that Arizona's on,
because we're supposedly all on the Pacific Standard Time whatever.
But yeah, it'd be kind of weird if we're constantly
off than they are.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
But yeah, dingdal with you.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Ding talk with you, thanks, big one. Yeah, Arizona's on
Mountains Standard Time permanently. So that's why they're with us
for half the year. Because when we do daylight saving time,
we actually jump into the same as Mountain Standard time.
So if we went to standard time, then we would
(26:15):
be behind Arizona by an hour.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
We'd have to go to daylight saving time.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
But if we did that, that's only if the rest
of the nation does it, because if only we do it,
then you'd be going back.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
In time when you go to Nevada. I know, it's dumb,
so dumb, and it looks like we keep talking about it.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
We keep arguing about this every year it's not going
anywhere from News Nation.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
This is something that has been debated in Washington four years,
and even on support from President Trump, who had one
point called on Congress to eliminate it, saying it was
a big inconvenience and very costly, but then later called
it a fifty to fifty issue.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
It's a fifty to fifty issue, and if something's a
fifty to fifty issue, it's hard to get excited about it.
I assume people would like to have more light later,
but some people want to have more light earlier because
they don't want to take their kids to.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
School in the dark.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well maybe they want their tea times earlier, right, Yeah,
early morning golfers, you don't want to You don't want
to be golfing in its twilight. You want to be
golfing at sunrise. See, let me tell you what the
definition of a populacet is. Did you hear that? He
said he doesn't want to touch it because it's a
fifty to fifty issue, so he doesn't see the win.
(27:34):
He doesn't want to pick a side because he doesn't
see a win in it. I'm not saying good or bad,
but when people talk about a populist president. That's what
it's about. It's how do how do my voters feel?
And is there a majority of my voters who feel
one way or another? And if there is, then you
make it a campaign issue or you make it a
(27:54):
political issue of some sort. And if if they're split,
you stay away from it because you don't want to.
You don't want to alienating half of your constituents. See,
he's very good at it. It is interesting to see
how many people are lobbying to keep daylight saving time.
The golf industry is one of them. More evening light
(28:17):
means more tea times, they say, more rounds played, and
more money spent at courses. Golf industry is worth about
seventy billion dollars annually. They have lobbied to keep daylight
saving time since the nineteen eighties. See, and I thought
that they would like to have earlier mornings, but nope,
retailing food extra daylight in the evening keeps people out
(28:38):
shopping and eating later. So not only that, but then
the grilling companies so that they say that they gain
one hundred million dollars in extra sales from people barbecuing
after work. But I should also point out that the
daylight saving time happens in the summer when we're barbecuing
after work. I mean, if you're living in Montana, it's
(29:01):
not like you're grilling after work in January, right. So
the one hundred million dollars in extra sales, I don't
know how much that is directly tied to the time change.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
The oil industry says.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
More daylight after work means more driving, which boosts fuel consumption.
Daylight saving time does not save energy. It actually increases
gasoline demand.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Did you know that?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
The flip side is the ski industry would like to
have permanent standard time because darker mornings delay their ability
to open the slopes and sleep. Doctors and most medical
professionals will tell you that getting up earlier is healthier.
Early risers benefit from an alignment with their their societal
schedules at least to less stress improved mental well being.
(29:47):
They're more likely to have regular routines that include consistent
meal times and exercise, which can help lower the risk
of conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. Night owls
are at a higher risk of mental health challenges like anxiety,
and physical health issues like type two diabetes, so the
correct answer is permanent standard time. I'm willing to continue
(30:10):
to entertain your erroneous thoughts, however, as I am always
willing to hear why you think it should be the
other way if we ditch time changing, which would you prefer,
permanent daylight saving later nights or permanent standard earlier mornings.
Will continue to get your thoughts throughout the program. And
where are we on the whole snap thing? It's on,
(30:32):
it's off. It's like we're doing a hokey pokey with
the cal fresh. You'll find out where we are next.
I'm Chris Merril
