Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I think I think that's my cue. Here goes nothing, folks,
no turning back now. KFI AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app good Sunday afternoon on this December
twenty second.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm Marla Teas.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It has been a while since I've sat here in
this studio in Burbank at KFI AM six forty. In fact,
I had to check the calendar and it was about
six months ago the last time.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
That I was here.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And if you're wondering, I'm sure many of you are wondering.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't know who you are, Marla, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Let me introduce myself and let me maybe reintroduce myself
to some of you who may be familiar. So I
am here on a fill in basis at KFI. It's
my great pleasure to be when I am here, though,
I'm usually the nine to one slot, nine Am to
one slot, which we all know is the incomparable Gary
and Shannon show. So when and Farrenzu then I've sat
(01:01):
in with Gary Hoffman, I've sat in with Neil Savedra,
the Fork reporter. I love him, love Gary and then
also Mark Thompson. So it's always a thrill to be here.
But lucky for you today or not, this is my
very first time flying solo behind the mic, So go
(01:22):
easy on me or don't.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I've got thixed skin because of my day job.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
In other words, beyond this, beyond the fill in spot,
I do have a day job which is actually a
night job, and that's because I work nights at Fox
eleven KTTV in Los Angeles. So if you are listening
to us from southern California, maybe you're familiar with us.
You can catch me weeknights at six pm Fox eleven
News at six pm. My co anchor is Alex Michaelson,
(01:50):
and then I close out the night Monday through Friday
at eleven pm with good Night La. It's a quick
thirty minute recap of the day's news Monday through Friday. Again,
good Night La. So I hope you'll check us out
on Fox eleven. Thank you so much for listening today.
When I said go easy on me or not, I
(02:11):
want this to be as interactive as possible today, so
hit us up on the talkback. If you have a
comment about the show, you can reach out via the talkback.
Just look for the microphone icon in the iHeartRadio app,
click that and then send me your thoughts. When I
said I'm rolling solo, though I'm really not thanks to
(02:33):
the wonderful producer here at Kayla Austin, who I have.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You are amazing, Marla. This is an onto working with
you right now.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It's been great fun.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I don't know if you're annoyed by all the emails
that have ended up in your inbox preparing for today.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I like how prepared you are.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Hey, you know what I started in the broadcast industry,
oh my goodness, twenty six years ago, as a producer,
so it's in my blood to try and prepare things.
So Kayla and I have done our best to and
entertaining an informative show today.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And by the way, we're on.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm on through four o'clock, so just two hours of
us today and in that time a little something for everybody.
So coming up in the two o'clock hour drones. We're
going to talk drones. I don't really need to expand
beyond that. I think we all know why I want
to talk drones. Do you consider it a mystery? Is
it a dilemma, the drone dilemma, the drone mystery. We
(03:29):
have a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel joining who he's
Southern California based, great guy. He in fact teaches classes
about drones and the threat of drones, and he was
actually just in Pennsylvania, adjacent to New Jersey where Kayla's from,
by the way, and he was teaching these classes when
(03:51):
all these sightings were going on. And so he's going
to join us a little bit later. In fact, that's
in just the next block, So I look forward to
talking to him. Then we're going to talk artificial intelligence
trends that are coming our way in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
AI.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Whether you like it or not, it is here to stay.
You cannot put that genie back in the bottle.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It is out.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And I have an AI expert who we love to
lean on at at Fox eleven. His name is Chris Mattman.
He's going to talk to us about AI trends. Kayla,
how do you feel about the first AI movie coming
out in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, Chris says, it's probably a thing.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
What I'm going to watch it and I'm going to
critique it, just like I critique any movie that I
can't make myself.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, have you seen the Coca Cola commercials that are
out right now?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Are they? AI generated?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
A hun amazing?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, so Andrew Caravella, I've seen him. Yeah, Bella, you're
shaking your head.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No, I hate it.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I hate it so much so I do voice acting
outside of what I do here at KFI, and commercials
is like my Space. So seeing what they've done with
AI for Coca Cola, all I could say was, Wow,
this is really going to change the game. And it's
gonna get to a point, maybe in the next five years,
where you're not even gonna know anymore that it's all
been done by computers.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Right, because right now, if you look closely, I mean,
these Coca Cola spots are what thirty seconds?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I think that's the longest one.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
If you look closely, the faces look a little disjointed.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You know, Santa doesn't look quite right.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I mean the beauty shots of the snow, yes, I mean,
sure that still looks pretty, but sort of the soul
of the commercials gone as as far as I'm concerned.
And then all the people behind it you think about
the impact for the industry itself, that's the downside of AI.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
But again, the genies out, the geni's out of the bottle.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So we're gonna talk about Chris to Chris about all
of that, and then in the three o'clock hour, we're
going to kick things off with a local father who
has just been fighting behind the scenes for the last
five years to get what is now known as Alexandra's
Law on the books. This is a law that went
into effect just this past Wednesday, and it holds drug
(06:11):
dealers accountable.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Matt Cappeluto. Maybe you've heard his story.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
In fact, if you were listening to John Colebalt earlier
this week, he had on mister Capeluto. He is a
compelling guest. I'm really happy that he'll be joining us
in the three o'clock hour. It was his daughter, Alexandra,
who died five years ago of fentanyl poisoning, and since
then he's been on a crusade he and his wife, understandably,
(06:38):
to hold drug dealers accountable. She thought she was taking
a percocet and she died five years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So that just went into effect.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Interestingly enough, as part of prop thirty six, So we're
going to talk to him about that. And then our
final guest of the day Marcia Clark, famed attorney of course,
lead prosecutor and the Ojson trial. She's also a New
York Times best selling author, and she is out with
a new book, It is Burbank, based about a murder
(07:07):
that happened in Burbank in the early nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
And she's also a podcaster.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I just actually finished I binged her latest podcast. Fascinating stuff.
So I look forward to talking to Marsha Clark. And
while we have her, of course, we're going to talk
to her about O. J.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Simpson. How can you not ask her about that.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Trial?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, well we'll talk to Marcia Clark about that. So
we have all that going on. Then one we're gonna
have some fun.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
We're going to talk why millennials and gen z are
calling out these fourteen baby boomer habits. I know, Kayla,
you're you're a millennial. You're going to have some fun
with that. And Bella's gen Z.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So we got like all the we got all the
part all the parts here that's going to have some opinions.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Okay, well I'm a gen xer, and I still have
an opinion. Okay, okay, we got.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Some talk back to that.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Are really happy to have you on, Marla, I mean,
Marla Bell, has it ready whatever you are?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Oh, do we have time to do it now? Or
should we wait?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, we got some time. All right, let's hear them.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Yippee.
Speaker 9 (08:07):
So damn good to hear Marva.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh wow, yippie. That was so sweet.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
That's more than what they say about me.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So I got to talk back. I got a positive one.
That's great, all right, keep them coming again. Find that
little microphone icon in the iHeartRadio app. And I want
to hear from you. I definitely want to hear from you.
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Even if you don't like me, I want to hear
from you.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Thanks so much for everybody listening, whether you're here in
Southern California or along the East Coast or somewhere in between.
I'm a regular listener myself, so I hear you on
the talkbacks. You often call in from the East Coast,
the Midwest, many of you in Southern California where we
are located here in Burbank. This is Marla Tea is
filling in on this Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's a little gray and burbank.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
As we're just three days away from Christmas and Hankah.
It's been almost twenty years that Christmas and Hanukkah have
fallen on the same day, and that happens to be
this December twenty fifth, and Thursday, by the way, is
Kwanza as well. So hope that you're having a wonderful
Sunday afternoon wherever you are listening, and we thank you well.
(09:26):
I just mentioned the East Coast and that's where sort
of this drone controversy began.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
It's been in the news.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I know, Garian Shannon have been talking about drones, John Cobalt,
everybody has been talking about drones here. So I wanted
to carry on that conversation here and bring in retired
Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Matt Begert. He is Southern California based.
He just got back from teaching classes in Pennsylvania, of course,
(09:56):
not far from New Jersey, sort of ground zero for
the your own controversy. He teaches counter drone safety classes
and Lieutenant Colonel Matt Beager welcome to the show.
Speaker 10 (10:09):
Hi, thanks so much for having me, Thank.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
You, thank you for being here.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You know, it was last week in the headlines President
elect Trump, he came out and he said, absolutely, the
government knows. There are no questions. This isn't necessarily a mystery.
He said that the military knows where these drones originated from.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yet, of course the Biden.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Administration Homeland Security is saying the opposite, saying we don't know,
saying there's nothing to be concerned about, there's nothing nefarious
going on here.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Where do you stand on this?
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Well, drones, or uas is as they're officially called by
the FAA, it's very controversial. It's caused quite a problem
for the FAA in regulating and in tracking. To be
honest with you, what little I've heard, and a lot
of it is speculation, But some of what I've heard
(11:12):
is if these drones are as big as they're reported
in some cases what's called a Category three, they are not.
They're not actually authorized in FAA national airspace. So it
ought to be fairly easy to figure out whether they
(11:34):
are regulated and flying with the FAA or not. And
what I mean by that is if they were flying,
they would have to get a waiver from a federal
Aviation administration that would be on record, and that would
be fairly easy to track down. One of the things,
one of the deficits I see is there is no
(11:56):
organized analysis of what is actually going on, and of
course you have to figure in the speculation of what
people see and what actually is there. Drones fly all
the time. They are regulated by the FAA by a
registration member and by a certificate required for someone who
(12:18):
flies it. He's called a remote pilot and he operates
under Part one oh seven of the FAA Code. I
hope they kind of gets into what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah. Absolutely, But you know a lot of these drones
were spotted over military bases, and when you mentioned if
they were bigger than the typical drone, you said category three.
You know, there are plenty of reports out of New
Jersey that these drones were as big as small vehicles.
So to your point, that should be pretty easy to detect. No,
(12:51):
they wouldn't be registered then, if I'm understanding you clearly,
But wouldn't it be isn't it up to us to
figure out what world is going on? If in fact
they are as big as small vehicles.
Speaker 10 (13:04):
Yes, I would think so. The FAA owns what's called
the National Airspace, and that is the airspace above the
United States, and there are exceptions to that. There are
prohibited areas. For instance, the White House is a prohibited area.
You cannot fly a pilot cannot fly over the White
House without permission and so. But not military bases are
(13:31):
not necessarily exclusion areas for drones. But let me just
try and set the stage a little bit right now.
According to the FAA, a uas a drone is less
than fifty five pounds, can fly only one hundred miles
an hour in its airspace and has to stay at
(13:53):
four hundred feet or below. It also can't fly in
certain types of airspace, obviously the ones that are more
busy like it can't fly into an airport thing without coordination.
So once again I say, there would have to be
there should be some track of these types of drones,
(14:15):
because a drone mat sites would need to be waivered
by the FAA. And if it's not, that's a clue
that something else is going on.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Now there are more than a million drones.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And what I you and I talked off air preparing
for today, And you said at least there are more
than a million drones in the US. But what you
said to me, and I think that our listeners should
hear this too, is eighty percent are Chinese manufactured.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Is that correct?
Speaker 10 (14:46):
That is that is the scaly accurate, somewhere between seven
and eighty eight percent. The company is called dji.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, And that's significant because in terms of they then
could be as in the Chinese government could be surveilling.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
I think there is some possibility of that.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yes, knowing that, and I'm sure that Homeland Security knows
this as well.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
They do, okay, they do. Then sort of the.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Line from Homeland Security and from the Biden administration just
overall that nothing nefarious to see here, you know, don't
worry about it. And of course these have been spotted
here in southern California, Riverside County to Mechula. We had
some new video into our newsroom the other day from
Orange County as well, not necessarily confirmed drones, and these
could be copycat cases, but nonetheless, you know, there are
(15:43):
these reported sightings. What's your take on sort of the
inaction of the US. Doesn't that meet make the US
appear weak?
Speaker 10 (15:52):
Well, it's apparent in action. I'm not sure there isn't
some sort of action, not that I know what that
would be, but I would suggest that there is some
sort of analysis going on, but it's probably not public
at present time. You know, there are indicators and warnings
of something that may happen or is about to happen
(16:16):
or could happen, and the statements, my opinion, are very
very clear from the government that there is no evidence.
They use the word evidence in almost all their statements,
so that is perhaps an indicator or a clue.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, all right, well, look, we appreciate you taking the
time out to talk to us here at KFI on
this Sunday. United States Marine Corps retired Lieutenant Colonel Matt Beggert,
thank you again, and thanks for all the work that
you do in your counter drone safety classes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
All Right, so you know your take, I want to
hear it. Hit us up on the talk back. Just
look again for the microphone icon in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Click that and send me and Kayla, Bella and Andrew.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We got the whole gang here on this Sunday afternoon
in Burbank. Send us your thoughts still to come, Yes
we will. We're gonna be talking AI trends of twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
That's coming up.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
But we're also gonna be talking about the strikes that
are underway. That's Amazon, Starbucks, and then all the store
closures Big Lots, Party City boom, Yeah, all going out
of business. Party is over for Party City. It's unfortunate.
We're going to get into that. Still to come. On
this Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
This is marlatteez here sitting in on this fine Sunday afternoon,
coming to you live from Burbank. Thank you so much
for tuning in for listening on this Sunday. We've gotten
some nice talkbacks.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Give me Hi, Marlin. This is a message for you.
This is David vocal listener in Los Angeles. It's always
nice to hear your voice, no matter what show you're on.
So it's it's good to have you there on Sundays.
And I miss you and Bobby at the twelve o'clock
News on Fox. That was a real.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Loss, Oh, David.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
David is going back a few years because Bob Castro
and I used to do the noon show together and
that ended. Oh my goodness. I'd have to look, but
probably about two years ago.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
You know, if he just tvOS you in the evening,
he can watch you still in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You could just tune it is I hit play at noon.
But there's no Bob. There's no Bob.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Bob.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Bob's you. Obviously he's still there.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
You just put his picture on your on your Cohen
and there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Good idea, Andrew, and I think that we have another
talkback work West Coast and out.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Shut them down.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I think he said, if those drones were flying over LA,
we probably would have shot him down. You know, there's
been first of all, thank you, love you too, reason
why they're not flying over LA. You make a good point, Andrew.
You know that's one of the things I didn't talk
about with uh, the retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who
was just joining us, is about just the jurisdiction and
(19:28):
why hasn't anybody you know, shot down these drones? And
of course he alluded to that it's FA territory and
the States don't even have jurisdiction.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's all federal jurisdiction.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So that's where it gets a little dicey, but yeah,
he's probably not wrong in terms of if they were
over La like that, like as.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
They were in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Okay, So a couple of the headlines that we're following
here in the KFI studio today is the strikes that
are happening. And I see, Kayla, you you're drinking some
coffee as that's our Bucks.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
No oh okay, it's a KFI break froom.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh yeah, Oh you know what I love here is
the uh operation. I love the hot cocoa that you
offer yef. Yeah, because I'm expecting so I can't have
the coffee, although some people say you can so, but
I've I've yeah, I'm a rule follower here, folks. Uh So,
(20:24):
Starbucks more than eleven thousand baristas across the country.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
They've begun a five day strike.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
This started on Friday, specifically in stores in Chicago, Seattle,
and Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
So I believe it was here in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That we had some shots of uh Starbucks baristas out
walking the picket lines.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We showed that on the Fox eleven News on Friday.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And they expect that this will actually go full bore,
and where it's not just in these major cities LA
Chicago and Seattle, and we can soon see this spread.
You know, the union is calling for the increase in wages, staffing,
better work schedules for its workers. And you know they
(21:07):
note that the chief executive is the annual base pay
for that chief executive is more than a million and
a half a year. And meanwhile they're making I believe
it was about eighteen dollars an hour on average. But
Starbucks says, well, we offer you know, great benefits, and
we offer great college tuition elements as well, and so
(21:30):
all in all, it averages to about thirty dollars for
a barista even that wage, and that's a barista who
works at least twenty hours per week. I mean, the
cost of living here in southern California is astronomical. So
we're going to keep a watch on this and see.
But I haven't seen other than the shots that we
(21:51):
had from Skyfox, I haven't seen a lot of the
striking workers, but I did note that they were here
in Burbank where we are broadcasting live from Starbucks. Of course,
another staple in our lives. Amazon Amazon workers are striking
as well, and this started late last week, and this
(22:12):
is impacting.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It says it could affect the seven warehouses, including three
in southern California, Victorville, Industry and Palmdale, and one in
San Francisco. It's unclear how many workers actually have gone
out there on the picket lines. And of course, you
think about the time of the year. I mentioned we're
three days away from Christmas, you've probably well, I would say,
(22:35):
I was going to say, you probably have already taken
care of your Christmas shopping. But no, I think there's
a lot of people who maybe you know, scrambling looking
for a parking place as they listen to us right
now at one of the balls, as they you know,
feverishly try to knock off their Christmas gift liss. But Amazon,
you know, they say, of course, of course that this
(22:55):
strike again it's for increased wages, better working conditions, That
this strike is not going to impact delivery. I can
tell you at my household, because yes I am an
Amazon shopper. I think, like a lot of people, our
gifts have arrived in a timely fashion, so it hasn't
impacted just yet. Again, this just started, so we'll see. Kayla,
(23:18):
you have reasonablieve that it may impact.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, I've heard.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
My friend said that she put in an order and
it's it's super deleted because of the strike. And I
also think it's with intention that they're striking around the
holiday season, because that's when their voices will be heard,
that's when we need them the most. Not all heroes
wear capes. And I hope Amazon can figure it out
because I haven't even started my Christmas shopping and Amazon
(23:42):
saves me every year, and this year looks like that
might not happen.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
So I had the opposite. Oh, I ordered something that
was quite expensive, a couple hundred dollars bag on Thursday,
and I have Amazon Prime, so I get it for
a few days.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He's a celebrity.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Yeah yeah, anchor money, right, so radio ancher money, let's
say that. Anyways, it said this will be here in
two days. I'm like, oh, okay, cool. So it was
coming from Kentucky, supposedly, that's that's what it said. And
it said on Friday it's been shipped, and then Saturday morning,
yesterday morning, it said it is on its way to
be delivered, and it was delivered that afternoon, so it
(24:21):
was within the.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Forty eight hours. Yes, yes, it was okay for being
a prime member. Oh that's it right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Bell Bella. Do you have any Amazon delivery stories?
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Yeah, Well I accidentally spoiled my boyfriend's gift to me
for Christmas. He doesn't know this, but I saw his package.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You want to give him a shout out right now?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, is what it is?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Sunday, Let's do some confession.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
It said.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
It said, well, he has a tendency to get me
perfume and like.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Every once in a while for occasions.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
And on the box it said on a big sticker liquid,
So I'm assuming it was perfume. And I asked him
after is that my gift? And he goes, yeah, why
I was like, oh, no reason.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh well, I can tell you if that ended up
in my household, it'd be wine liquid.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
The liquid be would.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Be That's where That's where my mind went.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That's exact. Oh it was a small box.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, but speaking of yeah, I am expecting so no wine, Kayla,
No wine for me.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
None alcoholic wine for you.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And I haven't even done that really. These days it
has been sparkling water. With fresh lime juice.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Oh that's that's actually really it. It's really refreshed, good time.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah that I gulp it down and baby girl likes it.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Well.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
In the event anybody gets you wine, Marla for Christmas,
you can regift it to you. My mailbox is right
down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah exactly, I'll get one of those Coco delivery guys
to you know, these little robots.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I love those things.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
So the Amazon strike, Amazon's the behemoth and as a
result of that, now we see things like stores like
Big Lots and Party City they're closing down.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
They just can't compete.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So, yes, Big Lots is announcing that it is going
out of business. They tried to, you know, make do
They tried to not have to do this final straw,
and that's just not going to happen. And the CEO
of Big Lots says, we all all have worked extremely
hard and have taken every step to complete a going
(26:22):
concerned sale and they.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Do remain hopeful. I mean he still holding out hope.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
His statement says that they can have an alternative to
the actual closure, but in order to protect Big Lots,
they're having to make the difficult decision to close down.
And you know it's also not just Amazon, but Costco thrives,
Walmart does well, and so those stores, those big box
(26:47):
stores are doing well. And then of course not just
big lots, Party City as well going out of business.
And they've been in business for almost forty years. I
you know, sadly, I'll just admit, I don't know the
last time I was at a Party City store.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I just went there in October for my Halloween costume,
my little witch hat, and I got balloons blown up there.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Oh well, and that actually, thank you for bringing that up.
The spirit Halloween. The pop up stores going to turn
into that's no, that's they they Party City actually said
that that's that business has them out. Yeah, helped help.
I mean it's one of the reasons, right, Yeah, what.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
About balloons where people want to go to get there
ballues blown up? That's what I want to Yeah, No,
you don't, I do, Andrew.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
It's your fault, Primember, you know, you get out of
your money bags.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
No.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
So, so when we did my my sister in law's
baby shower at my house, we bought all of the
decorations on Amazon and uh and and did them at
our house and stuff. It was just easier that way.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Wow, Andrew wod says, you're teerfault. I'm sticking with that.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
All right, So we're sorry to have to report that
news about Big Lots and Party City. It's sort of
the way that the world is going though Amazon Online
and those other big box stores that have taken over. Okay,
up next. I can't wait to have the conversation, especially
with the whole group here, with AI expert Chris Batman,
about the top trends for twenty twenty five in terms
(28:21):
of artificial intelligence that we can look forward to.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Did I say that time is flying yet?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
One hour almost out?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I can't believe it. I know, I was, you know, folks,
I was.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I had some butterflies going into today because, as mentioned,
if you were listening from the top of the hour,
this is my very first time quote flying solo. But
it's not really because we have the great Kayla here.
Thank you for being the amazing producer you are. Andrew
Caravella joining us, We've learned so much about him. We
have Bella as well, so absolutely I've got a whole
(28:59):
gang of people. I love it so and you told me,
miss producer, that this is going to fly by, and
oh my goodness, this is flying by.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
I love it. I love it. I need more than
two hours. I don't want it to end.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Okay, So as promised, we're going to talk some artificial intelligence.
This is a guy who was very intelligent. We have
him on weeknights on the Fox eleven News at six
o'clock often when it comes to topics related to AI.
He is a bona fide expert when it comes to this.
His name is Chris Mattman, local guy.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Chris.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
You there.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
It's good to have you. Happy Sunday.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Hey, Marla, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I can hear me all right, yep, I can hear
you crystal clear.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Good to have you, Chris. You know you had reached
out to.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Me about talking about the top trends of twenty twenty
five when it comes to AI, and you know you
said that one of those trends could be seeing the
first aid percent AI generrated movie.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Do we know that to be true?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Is that something that you you know foresee happening in
twenty twenty five?
Speaker 8 (30:08):
You know it's it's both something that I foresee, Marla,
And by the way, thanks for having me on And
how could you ever, you know, feel alone. You are
a force and so I just want to say that
before I kind of get into it, but thanks, You're amazing.
But yeah, no, it's something that I foresee absolutely. You know,
Opening Eye has this tool called Sora that's out. The
(30:32):
free version generates clips at very very high resolution and
with dramatic Hollywood like background and effects and characters, but
it really limits it to about thirty seconds the free version.
But that's their free version of the tool. Paid enterprise
version coming in twenty twenty five, will generate video on
the order of five to ten minutes. And at that
(30:55):
point you have you know, if I remember, dear Kobe
was only five minutes, right, the one that won the.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Words for Cobe Bryant.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Yeah, so all of a sudden, you know, you can
begin to see shorts, you know, being generated with very
very powerful effects. And I also know that a friend
of mine, Baron Davis, you know, the former NBA basketball
player now entrepreneur, is you know, tweeting on x that
he is looking to create an AI movie about the NBA,
(31:25):
you know, and looking to do that in twenty twenty five,
and with tools like Stora, you know, and Google has
a new video tool coming out that does very similar things.
I think he's going to be able to do it.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yeah, and you know we've already seen We were talking
about this, you know, teasing your segment. And Andrew and
Vela and Kayla had thoughts on this about Coca Cola.
They won one hundred percent AI and their commercials this
holiday season, and you know, if you look closely, you
can tell. But you know, ultimately it's a nice commercial.
(31:54):
I would say, that's my opinion. But on the flip
side of that, I mean, it just does a number
for the the industry. Behind the scenes, Andrew Caravella does
voiceover work for things like this, and you don't.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Need that anymore.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Yeah, you know, it certainly is going to change. I
think where people put a lot of their core efforts
into you know, like an analogy that I really like
as it relates to writing. I remember someone in Hollywood
telling me that they didn't think, for example, that chat
ept was going to generate like the next Oppenheimer script,
(32:30):
but they thought that it would it would probably generate
you know, pretty good, terrible Saturday Morning Cartoons, and I
think I think that analogy is very similar, you know.
I mean, I don't know if Andrew will be you know,
totally replaced or anything like that. And I know other
voice actors like Tara Strong who's in the Marvel you
know movies and things like that, these excellent.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
You know, but I will yes, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
I don't know that any of you will be replaced
anytime soon Andrew, you know, and and most the reason
for that is that I think we need to look
at these tools like assistive, but I don't think that
they capture the depth and the bread and really the
character and the storytelling. You know, probably that you know
and other actors in that in that brain. So you know,
there's a tool with Adobe, I think it's called oh god,
(33:18):
Adobe Express and it has it's on your iPhone app
and you know, it has AI editing, you know, things
you can paint over a picture and you know, say
what to replace and things like that, but it's not
generating the full scope breadth and depth images.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
You know.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
I think we need to look at AI as a system,
but you know, I don't think it's going to be
replace you guys.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Anytimes, okay, But you also then talk about the fact
that the big insight from twenty twenty four is that
there are more than ninety tasks that AI performs better
than humans. Can you give us maybe five of those
tasks that are proven?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Yeah, I mean this is wild. So you know, Eric Krovitz,
who's the chief science officer at Microsoft, published a paper
or in twenty twenty four, and you know it's on
Microsoft's website, but it describes like these ninety tasks. And
so I'm not talking about tasks that involve like multi
complex steps or whatever, but like they're basic tasks like
identifying you know, what object is in an image, like
(34:17):
identifying you know what sound is on you know, a
particular track, doing things like you know, basically looking at
an image and then deciding, you know what the next
image that should come in sequence. So these are what
we call like benchmark tasks, which typically like humans can perform,
(34:40):
but they get tired of doing it over and over again,
and you know, people make mistakes and things like that.
And so the difference with AI and these types of
things when you apply these benchmarks to it is that
AI is good at repetitive tasks over and over, and
AI doesn't get tired. And so if you look at
the scope of these like ninety tasks, you know, they're
widely distributed, you know, across industry and also in the
(35:03):
in the element of our senses. You know, they're both
computer vision, their auditory, their you know, task and rule
following and puzzle solving and things like that. And so, yeah,
that benchmark used to be what people you know would decide, Marla.
They would say, okay, this is what you know. It
is called similar like to a Turing test. You know,
if something can pass this, you know, if a computer
(35:24):
program can do this, then they would call that artificial
generative intelligence. And that's the thing that you know, people
are talking about nowadays as they.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Say, is this here already?
Speaker 5 (35:35):
You know?
Speaker 8 (35:35):
And there's there's some people, including very famous AI people
like Peter Norvig, who's a professor out of the Bay
Area who wrote a very famous book on AI, who
believes that these things are a GI already. And then
there are others that you know, believe well, you know,
those ninety tasks or however many tasks you know that
they can solve. That's so that's good, but you know,
(35:57):
let it get up there and you know start, you know,
doing more complex human like things. It's not there yet.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, because the other thing that's not there yet is
AI's ability to summarize for new news headlines. I want
to ask you this because of course we are the
KFI newsroom here, and Apple was urged to remove the
new I feature that it's using after it falsely summarized
news reports where a news report went out for Apple
(36:24):
users that said that Luigi Mangioni had shot himself, and
this was AI summarizing a report, and of course we
know that not to be true. And the similar headline
went out about Benjamin yet Net and Yahoo is rarely
Prime Minister of course that he was arrested, and again
an incorrect summary by AI.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
So it's not perfect.
Speaker 8 (36:48):
It's not the stuff you're talking about is Apple's intelligence.
I was actually having a conversation about this the other day.
So on the iPhones, they now have something that you
can turn on on newer ones, and it doesn't I
don't think it's the sixteen like you need the actual model.
It's just the newer versions of Apples iOS, their operating system.
Because I have a fifteen and I have this too. Yeah,
(37:09):
you turn on Apple Intelligence, and you know, this is
Apple's new big play. This is them saying, hey, we're in.
You know, it's beyond theory, you know, and we all
know how good theory is. It's not Thatto and whatever.
But they're like, no, we did a partnership with open Ai.
We're going to start to integrate, you know, an open Ai.
It's the company that produces the Chatchypet tool, the Sora
tool and all of these new sort of innovations. That's
(37:31):
run by Sam Altman. We're doing a partnership with them.
Apple Intelligence is back by them. It's got all these
new features, and one of them is summarization. And so
that is the most recognizable one I can tell you
as the user of this, having turned it on a
few weeks ago on my iPhone, is that basically what
it does is all your notifications across you know, Facebook
or Instagram or Pinterest or whatever your favorite apps are.
(37:54):
You get you know, hundreds, doesn't however, many notifications. What
this Apple Intelligence does is it tries to take them
and summarize them. However, yes, it doesn't always do a
great job, which should be no surprise, I think to
a lot of us that have used tashypt before knowing
you know, it's basically producing, you know, when used in court,
(38:14):
court cases that didn't exist and things like that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, so AI is not perfect either. Are us humans either?
Darn it, even though a lot of us think that
we are. But you know, it's all fascinating stuff. So
we appreciate you taking the time out. Can you just
give me a yes or no? I amount of time?
But as you know, I'm expecting, I got a baby
girl who's cooking inside right now. When she's sixteen, Mister
(38:40):
Chris Mattman, is she going to even have a driver's
license or that's going to be long gone?
Speaker 8 (38:45):
AI will Yeah, I don't think she will, Marline. I
told I told my fifteen year old who's almost sixteen, CJ.
He might not. He might not be driving for very long.
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Oh my goodness, we're getting taken over, Chris Smauntman. Always
a pleasure. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I know you're going to be joining us tomorrow night
on the Fox eleven News at six, So look forward
to having you on then.
Speaker 8 (39:07):
Can't wait to see you. Then, keep cooking that.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Baby okay, thanks Chris, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Kf I am six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I think I think that's my cue. Here goes nothing, folks,
no turning back now. KFI AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app good Sunday afternoon on this December
twenty second.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm Marla Teas.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It has been a while since I've sat here in
this studio in Burbank at KFI AM six forty. In fact,
I had to check the calendar and it was about
six months ago the last time.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
That I was here.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And if you're wondering, I'm sure many of you are wondering.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't know who you are, Marla, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Let me introduce myself and let me maybe reintroduce myself
to some of you who may be familiar. So I
am here on a fill in basis at KFI. It's
my great pleasure to be when I am here, though,
I'm usually the nine to one slot, nine Am to
one slot, which we all know is the incomparable Gary
and Shannon show. So when and Farrenzu then I've sat
(01:01):
in with Gary Hoffman, I've sat in with Neil Savedra,
the Fork reporter. I love him, love Gary and then
also Mark Thompson. So it's always a thrill to be here.
But lucky for you today or not, this is my
very first time flying solo behind the mic, So go
(01:22):
easy on me or don't.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I've got thixed skin because of my day job.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
In other words, beyond this, beyond the fill in spot,
I do have a day job which is actually a
night job, and that's because I work nights at Fox
eleven KTTV in Los Angeles. So if you are listening
to us from southern California, maybe you're familiar with us.
You can catch me weeknights at six pm Fox eleven
News at six pm. My co anchor is Alex Michaelson,
(01:50):
and then I close out the night Monday through Friday
at eleven pm with good Night La. It's a quick
thirty minute recap of the day's news Monday through Friday. Again,
good Night La. So I hope you'll check us out
on Fox eleven. Thank you so much for listening today.
When I said go easy on me or not, I
(02:11):
want this to be as interactive as possible today, so
hit us up on the talkback. If you have a
comment about the show, you can reach out via the talkback.
Just look for the microphone icon in the iHeartRadio app,
click that and then send me your thoughts. When I
said I'm rolling solo, though I'm really not thanks to
(02:33):
the wonderful producer here at Kayla Austin, who I have.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You are amazing, Marla. This is an onto working with
you right now.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It's been great fun.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I don't know if you're annoyed by all the emails
that have ended up in your inbox preparing for today.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I like how prepared you are.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Hey, you know what I started in the broadcast industry,
oh my goodness, twenty six years ago, as a producer,
so it's in my blood to try and prepare things.
So Kayla and I have done our best to and
entertaining an informative show today.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And by the way, we're on.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm on through four o'clock, so just two hours of
us today and in that time a little something for everybody.
So coming up in the two o'clock hour drones. We're
going to talk drones. I don't really need to expand
beyond that. I think we all know why I want
to talk drones. Do you consider it a mystery? Is
it a dilemma, the drone dilemma, the drone mystery. We
(03:29):
have a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel joining who he's
Southern California based, great guy. He in fact teaches classes
about drones and the threat of drones, and he was
actually just in Pennsylvania, adjacent to New Jersey where Kayla's from,
by the way, and he was teaching these classes when
(03:51):
all these sightings were going on. And so he's going
to join us a little bit later. In fact, that's
in just the next block, So I look forward to
talking to him. Then we're going to talk artificial intelligence
trends that are coming our way in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
AI.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Whether you like it or not, it is here to stay.
You cannot put that genie back in the bottle.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It is out.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And I have an AI expert who we love to
lean on at at Fox eleven. His name is Chris Mattman.
He's going to talk to us about AI trends. Kayla,
how do you feel about the first AI movie coming
out in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, Chris says, it's probably a thing.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
What I'm going to watch it and I'm going to
critique it, just like I critique any movie that I
can't make myself.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, have you seen the Coca Cola commercials that are
out right now?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Are they? AI generated?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
A hun amazing?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, so Andrew Caravella, I've seen him. Yeah, Bella, you're
shaking your head.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No, I hate it.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I hate it so much so I do voice acting
outside of what I do here at KFI, and commercials
is like my Space. So seeing what they've done with
AI for Coca Cola, all I could say was, Wow,
this is really going to change the game. And it's
gonna get to a point, maybe in the next five years,
where you're not even gonna know anymore that it's all
been done by computers.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Right, because right now, if you look closely, I mean,
these Coca Cola spots are what thirty seconds?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I think that's the longest one.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
If you look closely, the faces look a little disjointed.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You know, Santa doesn't look quite right.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I mean the beauty shots of the snow, yes, I mean,
sure that still looks pretty, but sort of the soul
of the commercials gone as as far as I'm concerned.
And then all the people behind it you think about
the impact for the industry itself, that's the downside of AI.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
But again, the genies out, the geni's out of the bottle.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So we're gonna talk about Chris to Chris about all
of that, and then in the three o'clock hour, we're
going to kick things off with a local father who
has just been fighting behind the scenes for the last
five years to get what is now known as Alexandra's
Law on the books. This is a law that went
into effect just this past Wednesday, and it holds drug
(06:11):
dealers accountable.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Matt Cappeluto. Maybe you've heard his story.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
In fact, if you were listening to John Colebalt earlier
this week, he had on mister Capeluto. He is a
compelling guest. I'm really happy that he'll be joining us
in the three o'clock hour. It was his daughter, Alexandra,
who died five years ago of fentanyl poisoning, and since
then he's been on a crusade he and his wife, understandably,
(06:38):
to hold drug dealers accountable. She thought she was taking
a percocet and she died five years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So that just went into effect.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Interestingly enough, as part of prop thirty six, So we're
going to talk to him about that. And then our
final guest of the day Marcia Clark, famed attorney of course,
lead prosecutor and the Ojson trial. She's also a New
York Times best selling author, and she is out with
a new book, It is Burbank, based about a murder
(07:07):
that happened in Burbank in the early nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
And she's also a podcaster.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I just actually finished I binged her latest podcast. Fascinating stuff.
So I look forward to talking to Marsha Clark. And
while we have her, of course, we're going to talk
to her about O. J.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Simpson. How can you not ask her about that.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Trial?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, well we'll talk to Marcia Clark about that. So
we have all that going on. Then one we're gonna
have some fun.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
We're going to talk why millennials and gen z are
calling out these fourteen baby boomer habits. I know, Kayla,
you're you're a millennial. You're going to have some fun
with that. And Bella's gen Z.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So we got like all the we got all the
part all the parts here that's going to have some opinions.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Okay, well I'm a gen xer, and I still have
an opinion. Okay, okay, we got.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Some talk back to that.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Are really happy to have you on, Marla, I mean,
Marla Bell, has it ready whatever you are?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Oh, do we have time to do it now? Or
should we wait?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, we got some time. All right, let's hear them.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Yippee.
Speaker 9 (08:07):
So damn good to hear Marva.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh wow, yippie. That was so sweet.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
That's more than what they say about me.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So I got to talk back. I got a positive one.
That's great, all right, keep them coming again. Find that
little microphone icon in the iHeartRadio app. And I want
to hear from you. I definitely want to hear from you.
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Even if you don't like me, I want to hear
from you.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Thanks so much for everybody listening, whether you're here in
Southern California or along the East Coast or somewhere in between.
I'm a regular listener myself, so I hear you on
the talkbacks. You often call in from the East Coast,
the Midwest, many of you in Southern California where we
are located here in Burbank. This is Marla Tea is
filling in on this Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's a little gray and burbank.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
As we're just three days away from Christmas and Hankah.
It's been almost twenty years that Christmas and Hanukkah have
fallen on the same day, and that happens to be
this December twenty fifth, and Thursday, by the way, is
Kwanza as well. So hope that you're having a wonderful
Sunday afternoon wherever you are listening, and we thank you well.
(09:26):
I just mentioned the East Coast and that's where sort
of this drone controversy began.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
It's been in the news.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I know, Garian Shannon have been talking about drones, John Cobalt,
everybody has been talking about drones here. So I wanted
to carry on that conversation here and bring in retired
Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Matt Begert. He is Southern California based.
He just got back from teaching classes in Pennsylvania, of course,
(09:56):
not far from New Jersey, sort of ground zero for
the your own controversy. He teaches counter drone safety classes
and Lieutenant Colonel Matt Beager welcome to the show.
Speaker 10 (10:09):
Hi, thanks so much for having me, Thank.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
You, thank you for being here.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You know, it was last week in the headlines President
elect Trump, he came out and he said, absolutely, the
government knows. There are no questions. This isn't necessarily a mystery.
He said that the military knows where these drones originated from.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yet, of course the Biden.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Administration Homeland Security is saying the opposite, saying we don't know,
saying there's nothing to be concerned about, there's nothing nefarious
going on here.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Where do you stand on this?
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Well, drones, or uas is as they're officially called by
the FAA, it's very controversial. It's caused quite a problem
for the FAA in regulating and in tracking. To be
honest with you, what little I've heard, and a lot
of it is speculation, But some of what I've heard
(11:12):
is if these drones are as big as they're reported
in some cases what's called a Category three, they are not.
They're not actually authorized in FAA national airspace. So it
ought to be fairly easy to figure out whether they
(11:34):
are regulated and flying with the FAA or not. And
what I mean by that is if they were flying,
they would have to get a waiver from a federal
Aviation administration that would be on record, and that would
be fairly easy to track down. One of the things,
one of the deficits I see is there is no
(11:56):
organized analysis of what is actually going on, and of
course you have to figure in the speculation of what
people see and what actually is there. Drones fly all
the time. They are regulated by the FAA by a
registration member and by a certificate required for someone who
(12:18):
flies it. He's called a remote pilot and he operates
under Part one oh seven of the FAA Code. I
hope they kind of gets into what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah. Absolutely, But you know a lot of these drones
were spotted over military bases, and when you mentioned if
they were bigger than the typical drone, you said category three.
You know, there are plenty of reports out of New
Jersey that these drones were as big as small vehicles.
So to your point, that should be pretty easy to detect. No,
(12:51):
they wouldn't be registered then, if I'm understanding you clearly,
But wouldn't it be isn't it up to us to
figure out what world is going on? If in fact
they are as big as small vehicles.
Speaker 10 (13:04):
Yes, I would think so. The FAA owns what's called
the National Airspace, and that is the airspace above the
United States, and there are exceptions to that. There are
prohibited areas. For instance, the White House is a prohibited area.
You cannot fly a pilot cannot fly over the White
House without permission and so. But not military bases are
(13:31):
not necessarily exclusion areas for drones. But let me just
try and set the stage a little bit right now.
According to the FAA, a uas a drone is less
than fifty five pounds, can fly only one hundred miles
an hour in its airspace and has to stay at
(13:53):
four hundred feet or below. It also can't fly in
certain types of airspace, obviously the ones that are more
busy like it can't fly into an airport thing without coordination.
So once again I say, there would have to be
there should be some track of these types of drones,
(14:15):
because a drone mat sites would need to be waivered
by the FAA. And if it's not, that's a clue
that something else is going on.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Now there are more than a million drones.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And what I you and I talked off air preparing
for today, And you said at least there are more
than a million drones in the US. But what you
said to me, and I think that our listeners should
hear this too, is eighty percent are Chinese manufactured.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Is that correct?
Speaker 10 (14:46):
That is that is the scaly accurate, somewhere between seven
and eighty eight percent. The company is called dji.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, And that's significant because in terms of they then
could be as in the Chinese government could be surveilling.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
I think there is some possibility of that.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yes, knowing that, and I'm sure that Homeland Security knows
this as well.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
They do, okay, they do. Then sort of the.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Line from Homeland Security and from the Biden administration just
overall that nothing nefarious to see here, you know, don't
worry about it. And of course these have been spotted
here in southern California, Riverside County to Mechula. We had
some new video into our newsroom the other day from
Orange County as well, not necessarily confirmed drones, and these
could be copycat cases, but nonetheless, you know, there are
(15:43):
these reported sightings. What's your take on sort of the
inaction of the US. Doesn't that meet make the US
appear weak?
Speaker 10 (15:52):
Well, it's apparent in action. I'm not sure there isn't
some sort of action, not that I know what that
would be, but I would suggest that there is some
sort of analysis going on, but it's probably not public
at present time. You know, there are indicators and warnings
of something that may happen or is about to happen
(16:16):
or could happen, and the statements, my opinion, are very
very clear from the government that there is no evidence.
They use the word evidence in almost all their statements,
so that is perhaps an indicator or a clue.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, all right, well, look, we appreciate you taking the
time out to talk to us here at KFI on
this Sunday. United States Marine Corps retired Lieutenant Colonel Matt Beggert,
thank you again, and thanks for all the work that
you do in your counter drone safety classes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
All Right, so you know your take, I want to
hear it. Hit us up on the talk back. Just
look again for the microphone icon in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Click that and send me and Kayla, Bella and Andrew.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We got the whole gang here on this Sunday afternoon
in Burbank. Send us your thoughts still to come, Yes
we will. We're gonna be talking AI trends of twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
That's coming up.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
But we're also gonna be talking about the strikes that
are underway. That's Amazon, Starbucks, and then all the store
closures Big Lots, Party City boom, Yeah, all going out
of business. Party is over for Party City. It's unfortunate.
We're going to get into that. Still to come. On
this Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
This is marlatteez here sitting in on this fine Sunday afternoon,
coming to you live from Burbank. Thank you so much
for tuning in for listening on this Sunday. We've gotten
some nice talkbacks.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Give me Hi, Marlin. This is a message for you.
This is David vocal listener in Los Angeles. It's always
nice to hear your voice, no matter what show you're on.
So it's it's good to have you there on Sundays.
And I miss you and Bobby at the twelve o'clock
News on Fox. That was a real.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Loss, Oh, David.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
David is going back a few years because Bob Castro
and I used to do the noon show together and
that ended. Oh my goodness. I'd have to look, but
probably about two years ago.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
You know, if he just tvOS you in the evening,
he can watch you still in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You could just tune it is I hit play at noon.
But there's no Bob. There's no Bob.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Bob.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Bob's you. Obviously he's still there.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
You just put his picture on your on your Cohen
and there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Good idea, Andrew, and I think that we have another
talkback work West Coast and out.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Shut them down.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I think he said, if those drones were flying over LA,
we probably would have shot him down. You know, there's
been first of all, thank you, love you too, reason
why they're not flying over LA. You make a good point, Andrew.
You know that's one of the things I didn't talk
about with uh, the retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who
was just joining us, is about just the jurisdiction and
(19:28):
why hasn't anybody you know, shot down these drones? And
of course he alluded to that it's FA territory and
the States don't even have jurisdiction.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's all federal jurisdiction.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So that's where it gets a little dicey, but yeah,
he's probably not wrong in terms of if they were
over La like that, like as.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
They were in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Okay, So a couple of the headlines that we're following
here in the KFI studio today is the strikes that
are happening. And I see, Kayla, you you're drinking some
coffee as that's our Bucks.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
No oh okay, it's a KFI break froom.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh yeah, Oh you know what I love here is
the uh operation. I love the hot cocoa that you
offer yef. Yeah, because I'm expecting so I can't have
the coffee, although some people say you can so, but
I've I've yeah, I'm a rule follower here, folks. Uh So,
(20:24):
Starbucks more than eleven thousand baristas across the country.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
They've begun a five day strike.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
This started on Friday, specifically in stores in Chicago, Seattle,
and Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
So I believe it was here in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That we had some shots of uh Starbucks baristas out
walking the picket lines.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We showed that on the Fox eleven News on Friday.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And they expect that this will actually go full bore,
and where it's not just in these major cities LA
Chicago and Seattle, and we can soon see this spread.
You know, the union is calling for the increase in wages, staffing,
better work schedules for its workers. And you know they
(21:07):
note that the chief executive is the annual base pay
for that chief executive is more than a million and
a half a year. And meanwhile they're making I believe
it was about eighteen dollars an hour on average. But
Starbucks says, well, we offer you know, great benefits, and
we offer great college tuition elements as well, and so
(21:30):
all in all, it averages to about thirty dollars for
a barista even that wage, and that's a barista who
works at least twenty hours per week. I mean, the
cost of living here in southern California is astronomical. So
we're going to keep a watch on this and see.
But I haven't seen other than the shots that we
(21:51):
had from Skyfox, I haven't seen a lot of the
striking workers, but I did note that they were here
in Burbank where we are broadcasting live from Starbucks. Of course,
another staple in our lives. Amazon Amazon workers are striking
as well, and this started late last week, and this
(22:12):
is impacting.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It says it could affect the seven warehouses, including three
in southern California, Victorville, Industry and Palmdale, and one in
San Francisco. It's unclear how many workers actually have gone
out there on the picket lines. And of course, you
think about the time of the year. I mentioned we're
three days away from Christmas, you've probably well, I would say,
(22:35):
I was going to say, you probably have already taken
care of your Christmas shopping. But no, I think there's
a lot of people who maybe you know, scrambling looking
for a parking place as they listen to us right
now at one of the balls, as they you know,
feverishly try to knock off their Christmas gift liss. But Amazon,
you know, they say, of course, of course that this
(22:55):
strike again it's for increased wages, better working conditions, That
this strike is not going to impact delivery. I can
tell you at my household, because yes I am an
Amazon shopper. I think, like a lot of people, our
gifts have arrived in a timely fashion, so it hasn't
impacted just yet. Again, this just started, so we'll see. Kayla,
(23:18):
you have reasonablieve that it may impact.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, I've heard.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
My friend said that she put in an order and
it's it's super deleted because of the strike. And I
also think it's with intention that they're striking around the
holiday season, because that's when their voices will be heard,
that's when we need them the most. Not all heroes
wear capes. And I hope Amazon can figure it out
because I haven't even started my Christmas shopping and Amazon
(23:42):
saves me every year, and this year looks like that
might not happen.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
So I had the opposite. Oh, I ordered something that
was quite expensive, a couple hundred dollars bag on Thursday,
and I have Amazon Prime, so I get it for
a few days.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He's a celebrity.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Yeah yeah, anchor money, right, so radio ancher money, let's
say that. Anyways, it said this will be here in
two days. I'm like, oh, okay, cool. So it was
coming from Kentucky, supposedly, that's that's what it said. And
it said on Friday it's been shipped, and then Saturday morning,
yesterday morning, it said it is on its way to
be delivered, and it was delivered that afternoon, so it
(24:21):
was within the.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Forty eight hours. Yes, yes, it was okay for being
a prime member. Oh that's it right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Bell Bella. Do you have any Amazon delivery stories?
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Yeah, Well I accidentally spoiled my boyfriend's gift to me
for Christmas. He doesn't know this, but I saw his package.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You want to give him a shout out right now?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, is what it is?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Sunday, Let's do some confession.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
It said.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
It said, well, he has a tendency to get me
perfume and like.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Every once in a while for occasions.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
And on the box it said on a big sticker liquid,
So I'm assuming it was perfume. And I asked him
after is that my gift? And he goes, yeah, why
I was like, oh, no reason.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh well, I can tell you if that ended up
in my household, it'd be wine liquid.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
The liquid be would.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Be That's where That's where my mind went.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That's exact. Oh it was a small box.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, but speaking of yeah, I am expecting so no wine, Kayla,
No wine for me.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
None alcoholic wine for you.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And I haven't even done that really. These days it
has been sparkling water. With fresh lime juice.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Oh that's that's actually really it. It's really refreshed, good time.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah that I gulp it down and baby girl likes it.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Well.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
In the event anybody gets you wine, Marla for Christmas,
you can regift it to you. My mailbox is right
down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah exactly, I'll get one of those Coco delivery guys
to you know, these little robots.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I love those things.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
So the Amazon strike, Amazon's the behemoth and as a
result of that, now we see things like stores like
Big Lots and Party City they're closing down.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
They just can't compete.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So, yes, Big Lots is announcing that it is going
out of business. They tried to, you know, make do
They tried to not have to do this final straw,
and that's just not going to happen. And the CEO
of Big Lots says, we all all have worked extremely
hard and have taken every step to complete a going
(26:22):
concerned sale and they.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Do remain hopeful. I mean he still holding out hope.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
His statement says that they can have an alternative to
the actual closure, but in order to protect Big Lots,
they're having to make the difficult decision to close down.
And you know it's also not just Amazon, but Costco thrives,
Walmart does well, and so those stores, those big box
(26:47):
stores are doing well. And then of course not just
big lots, Party City as well going out of business.
And they've been in business for almost forty years. I
you know, sadly, I'll just admit, I don't know the
last time I was at a Party City store.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I just went there in October for my Halloween costume,
my little witch hat, and I got balloons blown up there.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Oh well, and that actually, thank you for bringing that up.
The spirit Halloween. The pop up stores going to turn
into that's no, that's they they Party City actually said
that that's that business has them out. Yeah, helped help.
I mean it's one of the reasons, right, Yeah, what.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
About balloons where people want to go to get there
ballues blown up? That's what I want to Yeah, No,
you don't, I do, Andrew.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
It's your fault, Primember, you know, you get out of
your money bags.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
No.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
So, so when we did my my sister in law's
baby shower at my house, we bought all of the
decorations on Amazon and uh and and did them at
our house and stuff. It was just easier that way.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Wow, Andrew wod says, you're teerfault. I'm sticking with that.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
All right, So we're sorry to have to report that
news about Big Lots and Party City. It's sort of
the way that the world is going though Amazon Online
and those other big box stores that have taken over. Okay,
up next. I can't wait to have the conversation, especially
with the whole group here, with AI expert Chris Batman,
about the top trends for twenty twenty five in terms
(28:21):
of artificial intelligence that we can look forward to.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Did I say that time is flying yet?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
One hour almost out?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I can't believe it. I know, I was, you know, folks,
I was.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I had some butterflies going into today because, as mentioned,
if you were listening from the top of the hour,
this is my very first time quote flying solo. But
it's not really because we have the great Kayla here.
Thank you for being the amazing producer you are. Andrew
Caravella joining us, We've learned so much about him. We
have Bella as well, so absolutely I've got a whole
(28:59):
gang of people. I love it so and you told me,
miss producer, that this is going to fly by, and
oh my goodness, this is flying by.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
I love it. I love it. I need more than
two hours. I don't want it to end.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Okay, So as promised, we're going to talk some artificial intelligence.
This is a guy who was very intelligent. We have
him on weeknights on the Fox eleven News at six
o'clock often when it comes to topics related to AI.
He is a bona fide expert when it comes to this.
His name is Chris Mattman, local guy.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Chris.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
You there.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
It's good to have you. Happy Sunday.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Hey, Marla, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I can hear me all right, yep, I can hear
you crystal clear.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Good to have you, Chris. You know you had reached
out to.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Me about talking about the top trends of twenty twenty
five when it comes to AI, and you know you
said that one of those trends could be seeing the
first aid percent AI generrated movie.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Do we know that to be true?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Is that something that you you know foresee happening in
twenty twenty five?
Speaker 8 (30:08):
You know it's it's both something that I foresee, Marla,
And by the way, thanks for having me on And
how could you ever, you know, feel alone. You are
a force and so I just want to say that
before I kind of get into it, but thanks, You're amazing.
But yeah, no, it's something that I foresee absolutely. You know,
Opening Eye has this tool called Sora that's out. The
(30:32):
free version generates clips at very very high resolution and
with dramatic Hollywood like background and effects and characters, but
it really limits it to about thirty seconds the free version.
But that's their free version of the tool. Paid enterprise
version coming in twenty twenty five, will generate video on
the order of five to ten minutes. And at that
(30:55):
point you have you know, if I remember, dear Kobe
was only five minutes, right, the one that won the.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Words for Cobe Bryant.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Yeah, so all of a sudden, you know, you can
begin to see shorts, you know, being generated with very
very powerful effects. And I also know that a friend
of mine, Baron Davis, you know, the former NBA basketball
player now entrepreneur, is you know, tweeting on x that
he is looking to create an AI movie about the NBA,
(31:25):
you know, and looking to do that in twenty twenty five,
and with tools like Stora, you know, and Google has
a new video tool coming out that does very similar things.
I think he's going to be able to do it.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yeah, and you know we've already seen We were talking
about this, you know, teasing your segment. And Andrew and
Vela and Kayla had thoughts on this about Coca Cola.
They won one hundred percent AI and their commercials this
holiday season, and you know, if you look closely, you
can tell. But you know, ultimately it's a nice commercial.
(31:54):
I would say, that's my opinion. But on the flip
side of that, I mean, it just does a number
for the the industry. Behind the scenes, Andrew Caravella does
voiceover work for things like this, and you don't.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Need that anymore.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Yeah, you know, it certainly is going to change. I
think where people put a lot of their core efforts
into you know, like an analogy that I really like
as it relates to writing. I remember someone in Hollywood
telling me that they didn't think, for example, that chat
ept was going to generate like the next Oppenheimer script,
(32:30):
but they thought that it would it would probably generate
you know, pretty good, terrible Saturday Morning Cartoons, and I
think I think that analogy is very similar, you know.
I mean, I don't know if Andrew will be you know,
totally replaced or anything like that. And I know other
voice actors like Tara Strong who's in the Marvel you
know movies and things like that, these excellent.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
You know, but I will yes, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
I don't know that any of you will be replaced
anytime soon Andrew, you know, and and most the reason
for that is that I think we need to look
at these tools like assistive, but I don't think that
they capture the depth and the bread and really the
character and the storytelling. You know, probably that you know
and other actors in that in that brain. So you know,
there's a tool with Adobe, I think it's called oh god,
(33:18):
Adobe Express and it has it's on your iPhone app
and you know, it has AI editing, you know, things
you can paint over a picture and you know, say
what to replace and things like that, but it's not
generating the full scope breadth and depth images.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
You know.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
I think we need to look at AI as a system,
but you know, I don't think it's going to be
replace you guys.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Anytimes, okay, But you also then talk about the fact
that the big insight from twenty twenty four is that
there are more than ninety tasks that AI performs better
than humans. Can you give us maybe five of those
tasks that are proven?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Yeah, I mean this is wild. So you know, Eric Krovitz,
who's the chief science officer at Microsoft, published a paper
or in twenty twenty four, and you know it's on
Microsoft's website, but it describes like these ninety tasks. And
so I'm not talking about tasks that involve like multi
complex steps or whatever, but like they're basic tasks like
identifying you know, what object is in an image, like
(34:17):
identifying you know what sound is on you know, a
particular track, doing things like you know, basically looking at
an image and then deciding, you know what the next
image that should come in sequence. So these are what
we call like benchmark tasks, which typically like humans can perform,
(34:40):
but they get tired of doing it over and over again,
and you know, people make mistakes and things like that.
And so the difference with AI and these types of
things when you apply these benchmarks to it is that
AI is good at repetitive tasks over and over, and
AI doesn't get tired. And so if you look at
the scope of these like ninety tasks, you know, they're
widely distributed, you know, across industry and also in the
(35:03):
in the element of our senses. You know, they're both
computer vision, their auditory, their you know, task and rule
following and puzzle solving and things like that. And so, yeah,
that benchmark used to be what people you know would decide, Marla.
They would say, okay, this is what you know. It
is called similar like to a Turing test. You know,
if something can pass this, you know, if a computer
(35:24):
program can do this, then they would call that artificial
generative intelligence. And that's the thing that you know, people
are talking about nowadays as they.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Say, is this here already?
Speaker 5 (35:35):
You know?
Speaker 8 (35:35):
And there's there's some people, including very famous AI people
like Peter Norvig, who's a professor out of the Bay
Area who wrote a very famous book on AI, who
believes that these things are a GI already. And then
there are others that you know, believe well, you know,
those ninety tasks or however many tasks you know that
they can solve. That's so that's good, but you know,
(35:57):
let it get up there and you know start, you know,
doing more complex human like things. It's not there yet.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, because the other thing that's not there yet is
AI's ability to summarize for new news headlines. I want
to ask you this because of course we are the
KFI newsroom here, and Apple was urged to remove the
new I feature that it's using after it falsely summarized
news reports where a news report went out for Apple
(36:24):
users that said that Luigi Mangioni had shot himself, and
this was AI summarizing a report, and of course we
know that not to be true. And the similar headline
went out about Benjamin yet Net and Yahoo is rarely
Prime Minister of course that he was arrested, and again
an incorrect summary by AI.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
So it's not perfect.
Speaker 8 (36:48):
It's not the stuff you're talking about is Apple's intelligence.
I was actually having a conversation about this the other day.
So on the iPhones, they now have something that you
can turn on on newer ones, and it doesn't I
don't think it's the sixteen like you need the actual model.
It's just the newer versions of Apples iOS, their operating system.
Because I have a fifteen and I have this too. Yeah,
(37:09):
you turn on Apple Intelligence, and you know, this is
Apple's new big play. This is them saying, hey, we're in.
You know, it's beyond theory, you know, and we all
know how good theory is. It's not Thatto and whatever.
But they're like, no, we did a partnership with open Ai.
We're going to start to integrate, you know, an open Ai.
It's the company that produces the Chatchypet tool, the Sora
tool and all of these new sort of innovations. That's
(37:31):
run by Sam Altman. We're doing a partnership with them.
Apple Intelligence is back by them. It's got all these
new features, and one of them is summarization. And so
that is the most recognizable one I can tell you
as the user of this, having turned it on a
few weeks ago on my iPhone, is that basically what
it does is all your notifications across you know, Facebook
or Instagram or Pinterest or whatever your favorite apps are.
(37:54):
You get you know, hundreds, doesn't however, many notifications. What
this Apple Intelligence does is it tries to take them
and summarize them. However, yes, it doesn't always do a
great job, which should be no surprise, I think to
a lot of us that have used tashypt before knowing
you know, it's basically producing, you know, when used in court,
(38:14):
court cases that didn't exist and things like that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, so AI is not perfect either. Are us humans either?
Darn it, even though a lot of us think that
we are. But you know, it's all fascinating stuff. So
we appreciate you taking the time out. Can you just
give me a yes or no? I amount of time?
But as you know, I'm expecting, I got a baby
girl who's cooking inside right now. When she's sixteen, Mister
(38:40):
Chris Mattman, is she going to even have a driver's
license or that's going to be long gone?
Speaker 8 (38:45):
AI will Yeah, I don't think she will, Marline. I
told I told my fifteen year old who's almost sixteen, CJ.
He might not. He might not be driving for very long.
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Oh my goodness, we're getting taken over, Chris Smauntman. Always
a pleasure. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I know you're going to be joining us tomorrow night
on the Fox eleven News at six, So look forward
to having you on then.
Speaker 8 (39:07):
Can't wait to see you. Then, keep cooking that.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Baby okay, thanks Chris, Thank you.
