Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Mark Thompson sitting in on this Wednesday night the Dodgers
are playing, will keep you posted on the World Series
Game three to one Toronto. So far they're in the
seventh Toronto up, which means they are in the top
of the seventh because they're playing at Dodger Stadium. One
out and there is a man on second. So that's
the kind of detail and insight that you can look
(00:27):
forward to here tonight. I was at Dodgers Stadium last night.
You can imagine being a marginal celebrity as I am.
The way I always stopped for autographs and selfies. I
could barely make it to my seat. I did see
Metaworld Peace on the way out of the game, Tony,
which is kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And Mark.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's Mark and Tony and Matt All on the show tonight.
So when you hear me mention these names, I don't
want you to think I'm just kind of like it's
a beautiful mind thing where I kind of am just
making up people and I think I see them and
they're not here, and I start mentioning people's names. These
are people who are actually in the constellation of those
working on the show. I'm real, yeah, exactly, but sometimes
my conversational style will just mention them by name, and
(01:13):
that's what I just did. So anyway, I was walking
to the car, and you know, I always with celebrities
have that thing. I don't want to be that guy going, hey,
you know, I recognize you fill in the blank, celebrity,
let's get a picture.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I'm walking out of the game.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Dodgers have lost, and there's meadow World peace and a
guy's just finished taking a selfie with him and he
looked like he was with his young kid. And I said,
and I said, hey, Manawa, how are you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Good. Good to see you, you know, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
We exchange sort of some basic small talk about the game,
and then I'm at the moment of truth. I'm at
the fork in the road. What do you say, hey, dude,
let's grab a quick pic. That would be a good
thing to say. I did not say that. I just
gave him the way, but I go, okay, well, see
you later. Sometimes you gotta just be cool about suff
(02:07):
you know, you don't want to be that person all
the time that says, hey, let's do something for the
gram or ig or whatever the kids say. So I
just kind of waved him and left him into the
darkness into the night. Then I went over to my
car and I waited an hour and a half to
get out of Dodger Stadium. That is a brutal stadium
(02:32):
to leave, but most stadiums are pretty brutal to leave.
I've never been to Sofi, so Fi takes a while
to get out, also, doesn't it, I'm not. My general
sense of stadium's ingress and egress is as follows, And
we'll talk more about this in about an hour and
(02:53):
a half because people will be leaving Dodger Stadium and
we'll have them call in, but maybe not even an
hour and a half is moving at quite a pace.
But when people arrive to a stadium, they are arriving
at roughly the same time, but not exactly the same time,
And there's a huge distinction between the two things. When
(03:15):
you're arriving at roughly the same time, there is a
sense of a lot of traffic. There's a big volume
of cars and vehicles, but it's not as though you're
going to have everybody on the road at one time.
When you're leaving a stadium, everybody's on the road at
one time, and it's just a much more complicated and
(03:40):
a much more intense experience. You just have to kick
it and allow it to happen. But it was not horrible.
It really wasn't. And I would tell you that I
had a great time even though the Dodger's lost, and
I would have liked to have seen them win, because
you know, so much of the community of people I
know and that I really enjoy, are so invested in
(04:03):
the Dodgers. But the reality is that I mean, and
this I learned in my conversation with Metaworld Peace that
that you know, losing is part of sports. And I
thought the way that they do stuff at Dodger Stadium.
I hadn't been there in a long time. It's so
(04:24):
much more fun. There's just may if I had one.
There's way more audio and video and lighting, and I mean,
it's like an experience. It's an auditory and visual experience,
much more than when I used to go to Dodger Stadium.
It was just the organist. I mean, it's been that long.
(04:47):
The lights go on at night, the organist plays bump
bum bum, bum bum bump. I mean literally that now
you have all these sound cards playing. I mean they
are these replay machines like the one I use on
my show Tony, and they've got every and I was
thinking about it. They have every kind of they have
that b B, the clapping, they have that, they have
(05:15):
it on a sound card. So it's a guy with
a button and it was great. I don't know, I
so enjoyed it. And I look, it's the World Series,
so you're in a situation where everybody's jacked up feeling good.
But I'm just saying that the experience of being at
the ballpark now is far richer and far better than
it used to be. Just because I'm talking about the ballpark,
(05:39):
I'll mention that the tickets insanely expensive. I mean, it's
no secret that a World Series game isn't cheap, but
these are super expensive. So originally the face value price
is three forty to five fifty for many seats, but
you can't get seats any more for much of anything
(06:02):
at face value, and the resale sites like stub Hub
and Vivid they were going for upwards of two thousand,
three thousand dollars. There were some they say that were really,
you know, extremely close to the field for two hundred
thousand dollars. Ticket prices dropped by Game three and around
(06:30):
seven hundred dollars would get you into the park. And
it's fascinating to read accounts of what people paid. How
much would you pay for your ticket? One fan was asked,
who's been a lifelong Dodgers fan. I paid like sixteen
(06:51):
hundred dollars, but for the whole playoffs, he said. I
sold my two tickets, the extra ones for cheap for
fifteen hundred, and I think they're going for like one
thy to twelve hundred.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
He said.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I paid for last night's game. I had to buy
them again on the open market like everybody else. I
paid five hundred dollars, and that's a lot of money.
But to me, it's a piece of history, you know,
to see showy Otani pitching and hitting, to see this
series that might produce back to back championships for the Dodgers,
(07:28):
and just to be there in Dodgers Stadium. I was
really excited about it. And look, when was the last
time the Blue Jays won the World Series? Do we
know Mark or Tony or Matt? Ask me a movie question. Yeah,
when was the last time the Blue Jays? What's then
ninety three or ninety four, so I mean it's been
(07:48):
that would be history too. When was the last time
the Blue Jays won the World Series? In the movies?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Mark? Was that? I'm over too with you anyway. It's
a very expensive ticket. It was a piece of history.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I really enjoyed it, and sadly, right now it looks
like the Dodgers are in trouble and a game that
is three to one, runners on first and second, two outs.
This is probably an inflection moment in the game, top
of the seventh with runners on first and third, runners
up the corner, as they say, runners up the corners,
(08:24):
and two outs. This is a big moment with Guerrero
Junior up because he is a well he's the guy
who spoiled the party last night. So when we come back,
major layoffs affecting Paramount and CBS and some of the
names you will recognize as the layoff contagion, Hits Communications
(08:53):
and beyond.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Mark Thompson just sitting in for this one night on
a Wednesday night, so nice to be with you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I know, the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Game maybe where a lot of people are maybe having
it on in the background and others sort of just
a passing interest, just enough to kind of be able
to talk about it. This is your spot, because I'll
keep you updated and I'll let you know that there
was just as I had said, there might be going
to a break. I mean, I'm not taking credit for
a prediction, because I think anybody who knows at all
(09:26):
the game of baseball knows that.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Vlad Guerrero Junior.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Was the representative tonight who could really destroy the Dodger
fortunes the way the Dodger fortunes were destroyed last night
by the same man. And actually what it was that
sent in an additional runner in a three to one
game was a wild pitch.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
They called it a pass ball, but the ball was wild.
It was all the way.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Over in the other batter's box, in the left handed
batter's box, and that scored another run while Guerrero was up.
So it's four to one then, and now it is
five to one. As Dodger pitching is coming apart. It's
tough when you play eighteen innings and everybody's exhausted to
(10:16):
come back and put up the kind of energy required to,
you know, pitch in tough situations. And that's what the
situations have been as relievers come in from the Dodger
bullpen to try to stop the bleeding. Anyway, we'll keep
your post on that. It's again five to one right now.
I'll get to more Dodger stuff a little bit later,
(10:37):
like how they became the first Major League Baseball team
to hit a billion dollars in revenue. It's kind of
interesting because they really have done some things that are
quite extraordinary. But again, more on that perhaps a little
bit later in the show. I wanted to mention the
layoffs because they are affecting a lot of Hollywood, and
you know, show business just isn't what it used to be.
It's not what it used to be as a business,
(11:00):
and it's not what it used to be in terms
of its relevance to the economy of Southern California. I mean,
this really was a robust show business related economy for
a long time. Paramount now is laying off one thousand employees.
This is the first wave of what will be a
deep staff reduction there the company was taken over by
(11:24):
David Ellison. That's the son of Larry Ellison. You remember
him from one of the founders of Oracle and Ellison. Again,
the Sun announced these layoffs in a it's an email
that was sent. Actually, I always imagine opening that email
(11:46):
and getting that awful news. Anyway, well, the wording used
in the email was this, the anticipated layoffs are aimed
at quote, building a strong foundation to the future. So
they've cut about five percent of the Paramount world. He said,
(12:08):
Today we begin the difficult process of informing impacted team
members across the company. And these decisions are never made lightly,
especially given their effect on our colleagues who have made
meaningful contributions to the company. And this is again a
layoff knife that is going to cut right through parts
of the Paramount that you know well. Staff at CBS, MTV,
(12:31):
Beet Comedy Central TV production of course will be affected.
The Melrose Avenue film studio that'll be affected. Another one
thousand jobs are expected to be cut at a later
date as well, so they'll have ten percent of the
Paramount workforce completely cut when all is said and done.
(12:51):
At CBS News, about one hundred people forced out. They
pulled the plug on two digital newscasts in Johannisburg. They
have a bureau there and several correspondents, and those correspondents
are gone and the Johannesburg bureau is gone. This is
(13:14):
the Skydance Media, Redbird Capital pairing and partnership that pledged
to eliminate more than two billion dollars in expenses and
again that will involve reducing the workforce. And it's wild
to think about. This is the company that Sumner Redstone built, right,
(13:37):
and then Sherry Redstone in the Redstone family as the owner,
made this deal, wanted to make this deal, wanted to
make this deal for not only for ownership, but for
a merger, and to get the merger to happen, they
made a lot of concessions along the way, political concessions, right,
(13:58):
that's the whole Colbert Isolation thing. In any case, the
growth of the company has stopped and now it's on
a rollback, and CBS News is different. And CBS News
already has seen a lot of people resign because they
(14:19):
feel as though the sort of the philosophical underpinnings, you know,
the editorial board, the general direction of everything at CBS
News now has changed. Many say it's now more like
Fox News, and they are going to be representing the
disposition and perspective of the current administration. So again, these
(14:43):
are promises made to Brendan Carr, who was the presidential
Trump appointee who.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Runs the FCC.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Now that you know the uh, the company I literally
promised and followed through on the promise to get rid
of like DEI. And again this is to get the
FCC approval on the Paramount takeover by this new company,
this Skydance Media. So it's not to say that there
(15:14):
haven't been rollbacks at Paramount and that the industry isn't
in trouble. In many ways, you've seen streaming replace the
world of over the air broadcast television in such a
way that many people have cut the cord. Now, you know,
it used to just be young people. We don't you know,
we've cut the cord. I'm young, I don't have any
need for cable TV others, but now every it's not
(15:35):
just young people. The challenges for broadcast television are immense,
and then there are challenges right downstream to the content providers. Now,
content providers have made deals with revenue that is associated
with streaming, So they are trying to make adjustments, but
(15:57):
the money, the revenue is different and it is generally
speaking not what it used to be, and so add supported.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Media is taking a hit. Add to that AI.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And the issues that the industry faces with AI replacing
a lot of executives, and you have a perfect brew
of real trouble that'll include unemployment for many, huge cutbacks,
and many of these companies struggling for their lives. And
(16:32):
what generally happens in situations like this is mergers, because
in a merger you're able to take aspects of the
company that are still viable economically and marry them to
other companies that also may be struggling for viability, and
in that pairing move forward. But I mean, this is
(16:58):
a company, Paramount, that's a strong company with major holdings,
and we'll see what happens in the future. I mean,
there are major spending areas of parentmount at all. It's
not all just cutbacks. I mean, this is what's got
to the headlines. But they are They paid almost eight
billion dollars to broadcast the UFC fights. They paid one
(17:20):
point twenty five billion over five years to Matt Stone
and Trade Parker for South Park. So they've got a
lot of money out there to get content that they
know will get eyeballs and clicks. They picked up Matt
and Ross Duffer, they're the people behind Stranger Things. They
got them away from Netflix. They paid one hundred and
fifty million dollars to buy the Free Press and bring
(17:43):
Barry Weiss to CBS. So they're spending money, they're just
spending it in different ways, and it's accompanied by a
lot of layoffs. But again it really hurts also because
Hollywood is hurting right now and to see this one
thousand workers just the first round of cuts at hurts
even more. It's KFI AM six forty Mark Thompson's sitting
(18:06):
in on this Wednesday night. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Five to one. Dodgers Toronto is crushing the
Dodgers right now. They are in the bottom of the
seventh nobody on and one out.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
We will keep you posted on that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Mark Thompson here on this Wednesday night, Dodgers trail Toronto
five to one, and it only it gets uglier Dodgers
hit into a double play to end the seventh. Now
the top of the eighth leadolf hitter for Toronto gets
on base. So it's five to one and the Dodgers
hopes for tonight seem to be dimming at least for
(18:48):
the moment. But I mean, they have a murderer's row
of hitters. Maybe they can make up that deficit. It's possible.
Stranger things have happened, but it certainly right now looks
like it's all Toronto with a five to one lead.
You know, there's something going something going on in skid
row beyond maybe your vision of what happens on skid row,
(19:09):
and it's what the animals, the dogs generally, it's dogs
that are there with so many of these homeless, drug addicted,
troubled people who end.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Up on skid row.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And you see these creatures that need water, food there
in these brutal situations, brutal for both people, and you
could argue even worse for these animals that are tied
up in the sun. It's hot as hell, they're hungry
as hell. It's really rough. And there's one organization, at
(19:47):
least one, but one I'm going to introduce you to tonight.
Starts with one today on Instagram, that's their handle, starts
with one today and from that organization, the skid Row
Rescue Operation for these animal rescues is an animal advocate.
(20:10):
Joey Tuccio. Welcome to KAO Fischer.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Hey, Mark, thank you so much for having me. I
really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Tell everybody give them a snapshot of what's happening on
skid Row with the animals.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Sure, I mean picture drugs plus lawlessness plus dogs and
you get skid Row. I mean, I've been rescuing animals
from skid Row for three years and it's exactly what
you were saying. Dogs chained up with no water and food.
We just rescued a dog that was running around skid Row.
(20:46):
Her eyes and her private parts were glued shot with
gorilla glue. We have rescued dogs that were run over
by a car and after a body wasn't working anymore.
We've got calls about dogs that we're dead in a gutter,
illegal breathing.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's hell basically, and these people are allowed to have
these animals. How do you go in and rescue these
dogs that are the victims of such cruelty?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, I mean, it's a lot of times dogs that
are dis abandoned, dogs that the owners suddenly don't want
them anymore, that they're may be sold for drugs. And
we rescued a six day old puppy the other day
that went through six hands in a matter of twenty
four hours. Luckily we're able to get the dog. But
(21:36):
a lot of times it's just dogs that just kind
of end up walking away from their owners, or dogs
that we rescue, dogs that were just left there while
the owners went for to look for drugs for days.
We rescue dogs that have been without food and water
for a week, So it very much is kind of
going there, and every time we go there's a dog
that needs to be rescued. At least one.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Starts with one today is the name of the skid
Row rescue operation that Joey Tuccio is part of. So
Joey tell me, do people contact you it starts with
one today or how do you find out or do
you literally, as you just kind of reference, just go
down there and see what you see.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Yeah, a lot of it is we go down and
it's not even just like driving around because sometimes the
dogs are hidden, but we walk out, we walk out
of our cars, we walk around, we see who needs
dog foods. We obviously you know, offer supplies and food first,
and then we'll get you know, look inside a tent
and we'll see a dog that maybe is overdosing on drugs,
(22:34):
or a dog that is caged off with three other dogs,
or you know, we'll get plenty of phone calls about
you know, an urgent matter. We also every Sunday we
have a food drive there that feeds and clothes about
four hundred people and they'll bring their dogs and this
is what we'll learn about dogs that are being used
for breeding, dogs that are being used for potential dog fighting.
(22:58):
And it is literal lawlessness. So I would say every
day we get at least one call about an abuse
situation on skid Row.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
And when you say you get one call starts with
one today has like a phone line or a hotline
or how does that work?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yeah, it usually dming us on Instagram somehow my number.
I've gone around a lot. I will get the most
random text messages at all hours. And there's some people
on skid Row that they know that we will come
in and rescue a dog and we will get calls
from people on skid row saying, this person just had
an overdose and their dog is kind of stranded or
(23:31):
the dog is overdosing, so we'll reach out. But the
best way to reach out to us to help us
kind of know about any abuse case happening on skid
row is to dm us at starts with one today.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, starts with one today. On Instagram, the stories of rehabbing, rescuing,
tell me a couple of happy stories quickly, because I
find the whole situation it's so depressing, you know.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It's very sad. I mean, there was a dog we rescue. Dude, Well,
there was one named Rocky. This was a dog that
a baby pitbull that we went and was not vaccinated,
was dying on the streets of Parvo for days and
when we rescued him. The normal white blood cell count
for a dog is six to twelve and he was
(24:18):
point four and so we were able to get him
to the vet. We rescued him. He's living the best
life right now. There was another dog named Theo, a
senior dog abused hit by a car. Back legs were broken,
bloody completely just wounded all over the place. A senior
dog and we were worried he was never going to
(24:39):
be able to walk again. We rescued him, we rehabbed him,
and now was living in a beautiful house and running
around in a huge backyard. We didn't have to do
any surgery or any amputation, which we thought we did
at first, but it really is just you know, for
the most part, we do rehab them and we're successful.
Sometimes we unfortunately it's the pain is so far gone
(25:00):
or the internal bleeding us too far gone, so we can't.
But I would say we have like a ninety percent
success rate of keeping the dogs alive when we rescue them.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
That's just terrific too, that you're I mean, it's I've
seen it. I mean I've seen it personally, and it
is heartbreaking to see these sweet creatures there in that
horrible situation. As you say, it is a living hell.
Starts with one today is the organization. You can find
them on Instagram at starts with one. And it's not
(25:30):
the number one, it's the word one.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
O n E.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Starts with one today and that Joey Tuccio, congratulations on
the work you do. Please come talk to us again.
We'll reach out to you again and we want to
get the word out, but I just love the work
you do and you should be very proud.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Thank you, Thank you so much. And I appreciate anybody
who would like to get the word out there about
what's going on on skid Row. I really appreciate it. Mark,
thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Right on, Talk soon, Joey Tuccio from starts with one
today I AM six forty. When we come back, we'll
talk about the Louver heist. I've got an update for
you on the Louver heist. We'll get to that next.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Mark Tomson here on KFI AM six forty. We're live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Just sitting in on this
one night, Wednesday night, trying to light it up. And
there is a major situation I want to make you
aware of, and it's Santa Ana wins that are expected.
We'll talk to Robbie one row right now. No National
Weather Service, Robbie, when are they expected?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah? Well, actually, we just wrapped up the worst part
of the Santa Anti conditions last couple of days, where
we saw we had red flag warnings in place as
well as heat advisory. Fortunately we're allowed to have those
ends this evening and with weekend Santa Ana conditions as
we head into Thursday.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Oh that's terrific.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean, it was hot today and I thought it
might be you know, sort of an offshore wind. Didn't
realize that there was a Santa Ana kicking up. So
what were the peak win gus today?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Hell, we saw peek wing gus in the thirties and
fifty mile per hour range across the region, strongest across
those mountain foothill communities.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And if you look at the extended what do you
see anything in the way of another Santa An event
re emerging?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Or is this it for a while?
Speaker 5 (27:16):
It looks like we're relatively safe through at least early
next week. Later the later next week could get interesting,
but it's a little far off to get any real
certainty there.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Great, okay, well then we will We'll chill for now.
Robbie Monroe, thank you National Weather Service. Appreciate the work
you do. By the way, Robbie, with the government shutdown,
are you getting paid or how does that work?
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You can't really comment on that as it this time,
but appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Ask you Okay, good luck and I hope the whole
thing ends soon and you get back to back to
business fully compensated for the work you do.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Appreciate you, Matt, thank you.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
I appreciate you having us on today.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Okay, Robbie Monroe, National Weather Service. The Louver heist, what's
the update. Two suspects have partially admitted involvement. I mean,
it was a Sunday morning, went in around nine thirty
in the morning to the most visited museum in the world.
(28:17):
They are the two suspects who used that mechanized furniture
elevator that was attached to a truck and that's how
they reached the second floor balcony. They went in through
the window that they smashed in, and they went into
the Apollo gallery as it's called. They seized diamond gem
(28:39):
and pearl encrusted tiaras, earrings and necklaces, all which I mean,
the whole mess was once worn by royalty along the way,
you know, handed down. Napoleon gave this one to his
first wife then you know, I mean, everything's got that
pedigree right, the high end royal pedigree, and authorities of
(29:00):
course worry that they take the jewels out of.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
These trs, etc. And then they melt the melt everything down.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Everything's so recognizable you can't sell it as is right anyway,
DNA led investigators to these two suspects. One of them
is a thirty four year old Algerian. He was detained
at Charles de Gaull Airport trying to leave the country
with a one way ticket to Algeria. I might have,
you know, hung out for a while before I hit
(29:29):
the airport, but he wanted to get out of dodge.
The second a thirty nine year old French citizen, detained
at his home after investigators found his DNA unbroken glass.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
That isn't you know, left behind in the museum.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And obviously if they're DNA's in the system, then both
of them are criminals on record, right, so they both
have criminal records, and that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Also, a one way ticket on an airplane's always are
ready last.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, exactly, they're looking more closely at anybody with a
one way ticket. The total the stolen items and estimated
one hundred and two million dollars or as they say
in France, dallios. They're not privately insured and they're scrambled.
I get away the thieves dropped and damaged. I'll remind
you the Empress j Hennie a crown. She had a crown.
(30:21):
It was the she was the consort of Napoleon the
third and that crown. I mean, it's funny that they
just they just tossed it like it was just too
heavy or unwieldy to bring the whole thing start to finish.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Seven minutes, so two in custody.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
But they think that more are out there, and they
still haven't recovered any of that which I just mentioned.
And by the way, this high end jewelry store is
a contagion that extended to New York. Cops are searching
for a group of suspects who broke into a home
(31:10):
in Queens and they stole three million dollars in jewelry.
They dressed up as construction workers, the same way the
Louver guys did. They got in by forcibly opening a
rear door, and then they got a safe out that
had jewelry worth over three million dollars. They say, three
(31:32):
point two million dollars. That, my friends, has to be
an inside job, otherwise how would they know there's a
safe there with that kind of I mean, you could
go door to door in Queens and how do you
you know you're not going to hit anybody who's got jewelry.
That's a million dollars, all right, or one hundred thousand
dollars three point two million. Somebody knew something to go
(31:53):
to that house. Investigators are working on that. Mark Thompson
here on KFI. It's a Wednesday night and a grim
story at Dodgers Stadium in the ninth It is six
to one Toronto. Dodgers have one more shot at it.
Will keep you posted here as we continue into the
(32:14):
night on KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1 (32:19):
KFI AM six forty on demand,
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Mark Thompson sitting in on this Wednesday night the Dodgers
are playing, will keep you posted on the World Series
Game three to one Toronto. So far they're in the
seventh Toronto up, which means they are in the top
of the seventh because they're playing at Dodger Stadium. One
out and there is a man on second. So that's
the kind of detail and insight that you can look
(00:27):
forward to here tonight. I was at Dodgers Stadium last night.
You can imagine being a marginal celebrity as I am.
The way I always stopped for autographs and selfies. I
could barely make it to my seat. I did see
Metaworld Peace on the way out of the game, Tony,
which is kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And Mark.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's Mark and Tony and Matt All on the show tonight.
So when you hear me mention these names, I don't
want you to think I'm just kind of like it's
a beautiful mind thing where I kind of am just
making up people and I think I see them and
they're not here, and I start mentioning people's names. These
are people who are actually in the constellation of those
working on the show. I'm real, yeah, exactly, but sometimes
my conversational style will just mention them by name, and
(01:13):
that's what I just did. So anyway, I was walking
to the car, and you know, I always with celebrities
have that thing. I don't want to be that guy going, hey,
you know, I recognize you fill in the blank, celebrity,
let's get a picture.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I'm walking out of the game.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Dodgers have lost, and there's meadow World peace and a
guy's just finished taking a selfie with him and he
looked like he was with his young kid. And I said,
and I said, hey, Manawa, how are you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Good. Good to see you, you know, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
We exchange sort of some basic small talk about the game,
and then I'm at the moment of truth. I'm at
the fork in the road. What do you say, hey, dude,
let's grab a quick pic. That would be a good
thing to say. I did not say that. I just
gave him the way, but I go, okay, well, see
you later. Sometimes you gotta just be cool about suff
(02:07):
you know, you don't want to be that person all
the time that says, hey, let's do something for the
gram or ig or whatever the kids say. So I
just kind of waved him and left him into the
darkness into the night. Then I went over to my
car and I waited an hour and a half to
get out of Dodger Stadium. That is a brutal stadium
(02:32):
to leave, but most stadiums are pretty brutal to leave.
I've never been to Sofi, so Fi takes a while
to get out, also, doesn't it, I'm not. My general
sense of stadium's ingress and egress is as follows, And
we'll talk more about this in about an hour and
(02:53):
a half because people will be leaving Dodger Stadium and
we'll have them call in, but maybe not even an
hour and a half is moving at quite a pace.
But when people arrive to a stadium, they are arriving
at roughly the same time, but not exactly the same time,
And there's a huge distinction between the two things. When
(03:15):
you're arriving at roughly the same time, there is a
sense of a lot of traffic. There's a big volume
of cars and vehicles, but it's not as though you're
going to have everybody on the road at one time.
When you're leaving a stadium, everybody's on the road at
one time, and it's just a much more complicated and
(03:40):
a much more intense experience. You just have to kick
it and allow it to happen. But it was not horrible.
It really wasn't. And I would tell you that I
had a great time even though the Dodger's lost, and
I would have liked to have seen them win, because
you know, so much of the community of people I
know and that I really enjoy, are so invested in
(04:03):
the Dodgers. But the reality is that I mean, and
this I learned in my conversation with Metaworld Peace that
that you know, losing is part of sports. And I
thought the way that they do stuff at Dodger Stadium.
I hadn't been there in a long time. It's so
(04:24):
much more fun. There's just may if I had one.
There's way more audio and video and lighting, and I mean,
it's like an experience. It's an auditory and visual experience,
much more than when I used to go to Dodger Stadium.
It was just the organist. I mean, it's been that long.
(04:47):
The lights go on at night, the organist plays bump
bum bum, bum bum bump. I mean literally that now
you have all these sound cards playing. I mean they
are these replay machines like the one I use on
my show Tony, and they've got every and I was
thinking about it. They have every kind of they have
that b B, the clapping, they have that, they have
(05:15):
it on a sound card. So it's a guy with
a button and it was great. I don't know, I
so enjoyed it. And I look, it's the World Series,
so you're in a situation where everybody's jacked up feeling good.
But I'm just saying that the experience of being at
the ballpark now is far richer and far better than
it used to be. Just because I'm talking about the ballpark,
(05:39):
I'll mention that the tickets insanely expensive. I mean, it's
no secret that a World Series game isn't cheap, but
these are super expensive. So originally the face value price
is three forty to five fifty for many seats, but
you can't get seats any more for much of anything
(06:02):
at face value, and the resale sites like stub Hub
and Vivid they were going for upwards of two thousand,
three thousand dollars. There were some they say that were really,
you know, extremely close to the field for two hundred
thousand dollars. Ticket prices dropped by Game three and around
(06:30):
seven hundred dollars would get you into the park. And
it's fascinating to read accounts of what people paid. How
much would you pay for your ticket? One fan was asked,
who's been a lifelong Dodgers fan. I paid like sixteen
(06:51):
hundred dollars, but for the whole playoffs, he said. I
sold my two tickets, the extra ones for cheap for
fifteen hundred, and I think they're going for like one
thy to twelve hundred.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
He said.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I paid for last night's game. I had to buy
them again on the open market like everybody else. I
paid five hundred dollars, and that's a lot of money.
But to me, it's a piece of history, you know,
to see showy Otani pitching and hitting, to see this
series that might produce back to back championships for the Dodgers,
(07:28):
and just to be there in Dodgers Stadium. I was
really excited about it. And look, when was the last
time the Blue Jays won the World Series? Do we
know Mark or Tony or Matt? Ask me a movie question. Yeah,
when was the last time the Blue Jays? What's then
ninety three or ninety four, so I mean it's been
(07:48):
that would be history too. When was the last time
the Blue Jays won the World Series? In the movies?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Mark? Was that? I'm over too with you anyway. It's
a very expensive ticket. It was a piece of history.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I really enjoyed it, and sadly, right now it looks
like the Dodgers are in trouble and a game that
is three to one, runners on first and second, two outs.
This is probably an inflection moment in the game, top
of the seventh with runners on first and third, runners
up the corner, as they say, runners up the corners,
(08:24):
and two outs. This is a big moment with Guerrero
Junior up because he is a well he's the guy
who spoiled the party last night. So when we come back,
major layoffs affecting Paramount and CBS and some of the
names you will recognize as the layoff contagion, Hits Communications
(08:53):
and beyond.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Mark Thompson just sitting in for this one night on
a Wednesday night, so nice to be with you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I know, the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Game maybe where a lot of people are maybe having
it on in the background and others sort of just
a passing interest, just enough to kind of be able
to talk about it. This is your spot, because I'll
keep you updated and I'll let you know that there
was just as I had said, there might be going
to a break. I mean, I'm not taking credit for
a prediction, because I think anybody who knows at all
(09:26):
the game of baseball knows that.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Vlad Guerrero Junior.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Was the representative tonight who could really destroy the Dodger
fortunes the way the Dodger fortunes were destroyed last night
by the same man. And actually what it was that
sent in an additional runner in a three to one
game was a wild pitch.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
They called it a pass ball, but the ball was wild.
It was all the way.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Over in the other batter's box, in the left handed
batter's box, and that scored another run while Guerrero was up.
So it's four to one then, and now it is
five to one. As Dodger pitching is coming apart. It's
tough when you play eighteen innings and everybody's exhausted to
(10:16):
come back and put up the kind of energy required to,
you know, pitch in tough situations. And that's what the
situations have been as relievers come in from the Dodger
bullpen to try to stop the bleeding. Anyway, we'll keep
your post on that. It's again five to one right now.
I'll get to more Dodger stuff a little bit later,
(10:37):
like how they became the first Major League Baseball team
to hit a billion dollars in revenue. It's kind of
interesting because they really have done some things that are
quite extraordinary. But again, more on that perhaps a little
bit later in the show. I wanted to mention the
layoffs because they are affecting a lot of Hollywood, and
you know, show business just isn't what it used to be.
It's not what it used to be as a business,
(11:00):
and it's not what it used to be in terms
of its relevance to the economy of Southern California. I mean,
this really was a robust show business related economy for
a long time. Paramount now is laying off one thousand employees.
This is the first wave of what will be a
deep staff reduction there the company was taken over by
(11:24):
David Ellison. That's the son of Larry Ellison. You remember
him from one of the founders of Oracle and Ellison. Again,
the Sun announced these layoffs in a it's an email
that was sent. Actually, I always imagine opening that email
(11:46):
and getting that awful news. Anyway, well, the wording used
in the email was this, the anticipated layoffs are aimed
at quote, building a strong foundation to the future. So
they've cut about five percent of the Paramount world. He said,
(12:08):
Today we begin the difficult process of informing impacted team
members across the company. And these decisions are never made lightly,
especially given their effect on our colleagues who have made
meaningful contributions to the company. And this is again a
layoff knife that is going to cut right through parts
of the Paramount that you know well. Staff at CBS, MTV,
(12:31):
Beet Comedy Central TV production of course will be affected.
The Melrose Avenue film studio that'll be affected. Another one
thousand jobs are expected to be cut at a later
date as well, so they'll have ten percent of the
Paramount workforce completely cut when all is said and done.
(12:51):
At CBS News, about one hundred people forced out. They
pulled the plug on two digital newscasts in Johannisburg. They
have a bureau there and several correspondents, and those correspondents
are gone and the Johannesburg bureau is gone. This is
(13:14):
the Skydance Media, Redbird Capital pairing and partnership that pledged
to eliminate more than two billion dollars in expenses and
again that will involve reducing the workforce. And it's wild
to think about. This is the company that Sumner Redstone built, right,
(13:37):
and then Sherry Redstone in the Redstone family as the owner,
made this deal, wanted to make this deal, wanted to
make this deal for not only for ownership, but for
a merger, and to get the merger to happen, they
made a lot of concessions along the way, political concessions, right,
(13:58):
that's the whole Colbert Isolation thing. In any case, the
growth of the company has stopped and now it's on
a rollback, and CBS News is different. And CBS News
already has seen a lot of people resign because they
(14:19):
feel as though the sort of the philosophical underpinnings, you know,
the editorial board, the general direction of everything at CBS
News now has changed. Many say it's now more like
Fox News, and they are going to be representing the
disposition and perspective of the current administration. So again, these
(14:43):
are promises made to Brendan Carr, who was the presidential
Trump appointee who.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Runs the FCC.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Now that you know the uh, the company I literally
promised and followed through on the promise to get rid
of like DEI. And again this is to get the
FCC approval on the Paramount takeover by this new company,
this Skydance Media. So it's not to say that there
(15:14):
haven't been rollbacks at Paramount and that the industry isn't
in trouble. In many ways, you've seen streaming replace the
world of over the air broadcast television in such a
way that many people have cut the cord. Now, you know,
it used to just be young people. We don't you know,
we've cut the cord. I'm young, I don't have any
need for cable TV others, but now every it's not
(15:35):
just young people. The challenges for broadcast television are immense,
and then there are challenges right downstream to the content providers. Now,
content providers have made deals with revenue that is associated
with streaming, So they are trying to make adjustments, but
(15:57):
the money, the revenue is different and it is generally
speaking not what it used to be, and so add supported.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Media is taking a hit. Add to that AI.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And the issues that the industry faces with AI replacing
a lot of executives, and you have a perfect brew
of real trouble that'll include unemployment for many, huge cutbacks,
and many of these companies struggling for their lives. And
(16:32):
what generally happens in situations like this is mergers, because
in a merger you're able to take aspects of the
company that are still viable economically and marry them to
other companies that also may be struggling for viability, and
in that pairing move forward. But I mean, this is
(16:58):
a company, Paramount, that's a strong company with major holdings,
and we'll see what happens in the future. I mean,
there are major spending areas of parentmount at all. It's
not all just cutbacks. I mean, this is what's got
to the headlines. But they are They paid almost eight
billion dollars to broadcast the UFC fights. They paid one
(17:20):
point twenty five billion over five years to Matt Stone
and Trade Parker for South Park. So they've got a
lot of money out there to get content that they
know will get eyeballs and clicks. They picked up Matt
and Ross Duffer, they're the people behind Stranger Things. They
got them away from Netflix. They paid one hundred and
fifty million dollars to buy the Free Press and bring
(17:43):
Barry Weiss to CBS. So they're spending money, they're just
spending it in different ways, and it's accompanied by a
lot of layoffs. But again it really hurts also because
Hollywood is hurting right now and to see this one
thousand workers just the first round of cuts at hurts
even more. It's KFI AM six forty Mark Thompson's sitting
(18:06):
in on this Wednesday night. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Five to one. Dodgers Toronto is crushing the
Dodgers right now. They are in the bottom of the
seventh nobody on and one out.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
We will keep you posted on that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Mark Thompson here on this Wednesday night, Dodgers trail Toronto
five to one, and it only it gets uglier Dodgers
hit into a double play to end the seventh. Now
the top of the eighth leadolf hitter for Toronto gets
on base. So it's five to one and the Dodgers
hopes for tonight seem to be dimming at least for
(18:48):
the moment. But I mean, they have a murderer's row
of hitters. Maybe they can make up that deficit. It's possible.
Stranger things have happened, but it certainly right now looks
like it's all Toronto with a five to one lead.
You know, there's something going something going on in skid
row beyond maybe your vision of what happens on skid row,
(19:09):
and it's what the animals, the dogs generally, it's dogs
that are there with so many of these homeless, drug addicted,
troubled people who end.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Up on skid row.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And you see these creatures that need water, food there
in these brutal situations, brutal for both people, and you
could argue even worse for these animals that are tied
up in the sun. It's hot as hell, they're hungry
as hell. It's really rough. And there's one organization, at
(19:47):
least one, but one I'm going to introduce you to tonight.
Starts with one today on Instagram, that's their handle, starts
with one today and from that organization, the skid Row
Rescue Operation for these animal rescues is an animal advocate.
(20:10):
Joey Tuccio. Welcome to KAO Fischer.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Hey, Mark, thank you so much for having me. I
really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Tell everybody give them a snapshot of what's happening on
skid Row with the animals.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Sure, I mean picture drugs plus lawlessness plus dogs and
you get skid Row. I mean, I've been rescuing animals
from skid Row for three years and it's exactly what
you were saying. Dogs chained up with no water and food.
We just rescued a dog that was running around skid Row.
(20:46):
Her eyes and her private parts were glued shot with
gorilla glue. We have rescued dogs that were run over
by a car and after a body wasn't working anymore.
We've got calls about dogs that we're dead in a gutter,
illegal breathing.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's hell basically, and these people are allowed to have
these animals. How do you go in and rescue these
dogs that are the victims of such cruelty?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, I mean, it's a lot of times dogs that
are dis abandoned, dogs that the owners suddenly don't want
them anymore, that they're may be sold for drugs. And
we rescued a six day old puppy the other day
that went through six hands in a matter of twenty
four hours. Luckily we're able to get the dog. But
(21:36):
a lot of times it's just dogs that just kind
of end up walking away from their owners, or dogs
that we rescue, dogs that were just left there while
the owners went for to look for drugs for days.
We rescue dogs that have been without food and water
for a week, So it very much is kind of
going there, and every time we go there's a dog
that needs to be rescued. At least one.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Starts with one today is the name of the skid
Row rescue operation that Joey Tuccio is part of. So
Joey tell me, do people contact you it starts with
one today or how do you find out or do
you literally, as you just kind of reference, just go
down there and see what you see.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Yeah, a lot of it is we go down and
it's not even just like driving around because sometimes the
dogs are hidden, but we walk out, we walk out
of our cars, we walk around, we see who needs
dog foods. We obviously you know, offer supplies and food first,
and then we'll get you know, look inside a tent
and we'll see a dog that maybe is overdosing on drugs,
(22:34):
or a dog that is caged off with three other dogs,
or you know, we'll get plenty of phone calls about
you know, an urgent matter. We also every Sunday we
have a food drive there that feeds and clothes about
four hundred people and they'll bring their dogs and this
is what we'll learn about dogs that are being used
for breeding, dogs that are being used for potential dog fighting.
(22:58):
And it is literal lawlessness. So I would say every
day we get at least one call about an abuse
situation on skid Row.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
And when you say you get one call starts with
one today has like a phone line or a hotline
or how does that work?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yeah, it usually dming us on Instagram somehow my number.
I've gone around a lot. I will get the most
random text messages at all hours. And there's some people
on skid Row that they know that we will come
in and rescue a dog and we will get calls
from people on skid row saying, this person just had
an overdose and their dog is kind of stranded or
(23:31):
the dog is overdosing, so we'll reach out. But the
best way to reach out to us to help us
kind of know about any abuse case happening on skid
row is to dm us at starts with one today.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, starts with one today. On Instagram, the stories of rehabbing, rescuing,
tell me a couple of happy stories quickly, because I
find the whole situation it's so depressing, you know.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It's very sad. I mean, there was a dog we rescue. Dude, Well,
there was one named Rocky. This was a dog that
a baby pitbull that we went and was not vaccinated,
was dying on the streets of Parvo for days and
when we rescued him. The normal white blood cell count
for a dog is six to twelve and he was
(24:18):
point four and so we were able to get him
to the vet. We rescued him. He's living the best
life right now. There was another dog named Theo, a
senior dog abused hit by a car. Back legs were broken,
bloody completely just wounded all over the place. A senior
dog and we were worried he was never going to
(24:39):
be able to walk again. We rescued him, we rehabbed him,
and now was living in a beautiful house and running
around in a huge backyard. We didn't have to do
any surgery or any amputation, which we thought we did
at first, but it really is just you know, for
the most part, we do rehab them and we're successful.
Sometimes we unfortunately it's the pain is so far gone
(25:00):
or the internal bleeding us too far gone, so we can't.
But I would say we have like a ninety percent
success rate of keeping the dogs alive when we rescue them.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
That's just terrific too, that you're I mean, it's I've
seen it. I mean I've seen it personally, and it
is heartbreaking to see these sweet creatures there in that
horrible situation. As you say, it is a living hell.
Starts with one today is the organization. You can find
them on Instagram at starts with one. And it's not
(25:30):
the number one, it's the word one.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
O n E.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Starts with one today and that Joey Tuccio, congratulations on
the work you do. Please come talk to us again.
We'll reach out to you again and we want to
get the word out, but I just love the work
you do and you should be very proud.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Thank you, Thank you so much. And I appreciate anybody
who would like to get the word out there about
what's going on on skid Row. I really appreciate it. Mark,
thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Right on, Talk soon, Joey Tuccio from starts with one
today I AM six forty. When we come back, we'll
talk about the Louver heist. I've got an update for
you on the Louver heist. We'll get to that next.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Mark Tomson here on KFI AM six forty. We're live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Just sitting in on this
one night, Wednesday night, trying to light it up. And
there is a major situation I want to make you
aware of, and it's Santa Ana wins that are expected.
We'll talk to Robbie one row right now. No National
Weather Service, Robbie, when are they expected?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah? Well, actually, we just wrapped up the worst part
of the Santa Anti conditions last couple of days, where
we saw we had red flag warnings in place as
well as heat advisory. Fortunately we're allowed to have those
ends this evening and with weekend Santa Ana conditions as
we head into Thursday.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Oh that's terrific.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean, it was hot today and I thought it
might be you know, sort of an offshore wind. Didn't
realize that there was a Santa Ana kicking up. So
what were the peak win gus today?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Hell, we saw peek wing gus in the thirties and
fifty mile per hour range across the region, strongest across
those mountain foothill communities.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And if you look at the extended what do you
see anything in the way of another Santa An event
re emerging?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Or is this it for a while?
Speaker 5 (27:16):
It looks like we're relatively safe through at least early
next week. Later the later next week could get interesting,
but it's a little far off to get any real
certainty there.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Great, okay, well then we will We'll chill for now.
Robbie Monroe, thank you National Weather Service. Appreciate the work
you do. By the way, Robbie, with the government shutdown,
are you getting paid or how does that work?
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You can't really comment on that as it this time,
but appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Ask you Okay, good luck and I hope the whole
thing ends soon and you get back to back to
business fully compensated for the work you do.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Appreciate you, Matt, thank you.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
I appreciate you having us on today.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Okay, Robbie Monroe, National Weather Service. The Louver heist, what's
the update. Two suspects have partially admitted involvement. I mean,
it was a Sunday morning, went in around nine thirty
in the morning to the most visited museum in the world.
(28:17):
They are the two suspects who used that mechanized furniture
elevator that was attached to a truck and that's how
they reached the second floor balcony. They went in through
the window that they smashed in, and they went into
the Apollo gallery as it's called. They seized diamond gem
(28:39):
and pearl encrusted tiaras, earrings and necklaces, all which I mean,
the whole mess was once worn by royalty along the way,
you know, handed down. Napoleon gave this one to his
first wife then you know, I mean, everything's got that
pedigree right, the high end royal pedigree, and authorities of
(29:00):
course worry that they take the jewels out of.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
These trs, etc. And then they melt the melt everything down.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Everything's so recognizable you can't sell it as is right anyway,
DNA led investigators to these two suspects. One of them
is a thirty four year old Algerian. He was detained
at Charles de Gaull Airport trying to leave the country
with a one way ticket to Algeria. I might have,
you know, hung out for a while before I hit
(29:29):
the airport, but he wanted to get out of dodge.
The second a thirty nine year old French citizen, detained
at his home after investigators found his DNA unbroken glass.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
That isn't you know, left behind in the museum.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And obviously if they're DNA's in the system, then both
of them are criminals on record, right, so they both
have criminal records, and that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Also, a one way ticket on an airplane's always are
ready last.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, exactly, they're looking more closely at anybody with a
one way ticket. The total the stolen items and estimated
one hundred and two million dollars or as they say
in France, dallios. They're not privately insured and they're scrambled.
I get away the thieves dropped and damaged. I'll remind
you the Empress j Hennie a crown. She had a crown.
(30:21):
It was the she was the consort of Napoleon the
third and that crown. I mean, it's funny that they
just they just tossed it like it was just too
heavy or unwieldy to bring the whole thing start to finish.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Seven minutes, so two in custody.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
But they think that more are out there, and they
still haven't recovered any of that which I just mentioned.
And by the way, this high end jewelry store is
a contagion that extended to New York. Cops are searching
for a group of suspects who broke into a home
(31:10):
in Queens and they stole three million dollars in jewelry.
They dressed up as construction workers, the same way the
Louver guys did. They got in by forcibly opening a
rear door, and then they got a safe out that
had jewelry worth over three million dollars. They say, three
(31:32):
point two million dollars. That, my friends, has to be
an inside job, otherwise how would they know there's a
safe there with that kind of I mean, you could
go door to door in Queens and how do you
you know you're not going to hit anybody who's got jewelry.
That's a million dollars, all right, or one hundred thousand
dollars three point two million. Somebody knew something to go
(31:53):
to that house. Investigators are working on that. Mark Thompson
here on KFI. It's a Wednesday night and a grim
story at Dodgers Stadium in the ninth It is six
to one Toronto. Dodgers have one more shot at it.
