Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Tiffany Hobbs here filling in for Chris Merrill, who I
believe is off trying to find the most offensive Halloween
costume he could possibly find, and you know that takes
some time. He's going to be out today trying to
find something.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
To get canceled for.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I gave him some suggestions, he said they weren't good enough,
so we'll see what he comes up with. Perhaps, say,
perhaps we could ask you what you think his most
offensive Halloween costume might possibly be, But then I feel
like we're opening up Pandora's box, so I won't do that.
But I will have a question for you to chime
in via the iHeart app and the talkback feature, so
(00:50):
stay tuned for that. As Andy said, and I love
Andy Reesemeyer, isn't he doing such a good job?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Isn't he kicking butt? He said?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We have a stacked show, and that is an understatement.
I'm here till seven, so I'm able to fit in
a lot more than what I do on my normal
Saturday show. Starting with Go Dodgers, who, at least for now,
because it feels like they're not necessarily playing at their best,
(01:18):
but at the very least they were able to beat
the Blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And now the World Series is tied one to one.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
They're gonna move back to Chavez Ravine tomorrow for Game three,
and I believe Game three and four are right here.
Maybe five, we'll see what happens. But the World Series
is tied, So let's go Dodgers. Hope you clapped on that.
Hope you clapped on that. And then also we're gonna
(01:45):
talk a little bit about Prop fifty. Not a long story,
but just a little tidbit.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Prop fifty is actually called, and no one seems to
know this, the Election Rigging Response Act. We know it
by its cute little nickname Prop fifty, and what it
aims to do is stop redistricting like what's happening currently
in Texas.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well. It's projected to pass.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
All of the polling did, they did their due diligence,
and if it were to be voted on today, it
would pass with almost sixty percent of the vote. We
have two weeks left until California's special election, but again,
right now it is projected to pass.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's Prop fifty. Mayor Bass is in the news.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It seems like she's always in the news, and I
think if you're mayor, you probably will be so for
whoever is going to run in the next election, just
know your name is always gonna come up well. Mayor
Bass has named thirty year LAFD VET Jamie Moore as
the new fire chief following a nationwide search and consultations firefighters. Now,
(03:02):
Jamie Moore, our new fire chief is inheriting a battered
and beleaguered fire department after January's fires. And like I
told Andy, I'll have updates on how the Palisades and
Pasadena are planning on moving forward in ways that are
really angering residents right now.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Locals are upset, they're hurt.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Some are saying that they are shocked by some of
the developments coming out of Pasadena, Outadena, and the Palisades.
But I have two stories that will cover Pasadena and
the Palisades, and I'll share that with you after five
point thirty. June Lockhart June Lockhart has died at age
one hundred. You know June Lockhart, And that's according to
(03:51):
her daughter. By the way, June Lockhart was probably best
known for playing Ruth.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Martin, the mom in lass Everyone.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Knows Lassie, the black and white version of Lassie or
was it color eyes? I don't remember. I did watch
it growing up. My mother a great mother, and she
turned me on to the classics.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Hey mom. But June Lockhart passed away at one hundred.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
She also starred in movies including Lost in Space, but
she's best known for portraying Ruth Martin from Lassie. And
there's a quote, and i'll paraphrase it by June Lockhart
where she said, how much of a blessing is it
to be known for one role? That one role is
so cemented in people's minds that that's what they associate
(04:39):
you with. She found it not to be limiting to
be known as the mom from Lassie, but as a
gift in her career. She also was the daughter of
actors Jean and Kathleen Lockhart, Jean Lockhart and Academy Award
winner himself. So rest in peace to the great June Lockhart.
We also lost Henry D.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Jack.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Now you might not know that name, but if you
are anywhere affiliated with South Los Angeles, then you definitely
know Hank's mini market on Florence and Eleventh Avenue right
there in the heart of the South Central area and
mister Hank as Henry D. Jackson was known, found it
(05:22):
the beloved Hank's Mini Market. He passed away this weekend.
VP Kamala Harris is back in the news as well.
She is on a speaking circuit traveling around the country.
She'll be back here in Los Angeles next Tuesday at.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The will Turn Theater.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
But she's not in the news for speaking necessarily, not
for these speaking engagements, but more so about one specific
thing that she said. And what she said is I'm
not done insinuating that a run for president is in
(06:01):
her future once again.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Now there have.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Been suppositions and ideas about whether or not VP Harris
would rerun again in twenty twenty eight, but now it
seems that she herself has taken the reins on this
narrative and is saying, keep a lookout, because I might
just run. Governor Newsom also is saying the same thing.
(06:27):
He's not saying no, he's not explicitly saying yes. He's
kind of leaving it in a gray area, and we
all know that gray means he's gonna run twenty twenty eight.
Governor Newsom is gonna be right there in that race
if all goes as he plans, because he says that
that is something that.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He would greatly look forward to.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Do you remember the Mountain Lion p. Twenty two, famous
mountain Lion from the Griffith Park area.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well. P.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Twenty two lived in Griffith Park and was tracked for
years up until its death in December of twenty twenty two,
was hit by a car crossing I believe one of
those streets up there, or the one on one something.
But three years, almost to the day later, there will
be a sculpture created in p. Twenty two's memory, a
(07:20):
memorial sculpture, and that is thanks to a coalition of
different organizations including the Save La Cougar's Campaign, Friends of
Griffith Park, and City of Los Angeles partners. The sculpture
will be created by artist Adam Matineau or Matano, so
look out for that. They expect it to be done
(07:41):
in early twenty twenty six. P. Twenty two Getting another
round at infamy. When we come back, we're going to
get into these stories relating to the Palisades and to Pasadena.
Ten months after the fires, Pasadena and the Palisades have
plans in motion to move forward, but residents of both
(08:03):
cities are not happy. I'll tell you what the plans
are on the other side of the break, and we
have a lot more news to come, so stay right here.
Tiffany Hobbs filling in for Chris Merrill from four to
seven this evening.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'll have that talk back question when we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Tiffany Hobbs here filling in for Chris Merrill, who, as
I told you last time, is off trying to find
the most offensive Halloween costume that he could possibly don
not just on Friday, which is Halloween, but throughout the week.
He seems like he wants to wear this thing every day,
and he said he needed a day because you know,
it's really hard to find something so so offensive. His
(08:56):
goal is to get canceled, so wish him well. I'll
have a dates about that, Caleb throughout the show. You
know he told you that too. Did he tell you that,
Oh yeah, he's going full floozy this Halloween. It's about
to be crazy. He was either he was going between
like super duper hyper racist or like overtly sexual and
I was like, go for the sexual side of things
(09:17):
and we'll see what he can come up with, no
pun intended.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I see what you did, then we'll see we'll see
what he does with it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Right there we go. Hope he's listening. Hey Chris Merrill,
but yeah, I'm here till seven. Usually hear me on
Saturdays from five to seven for Saturdays with Tiffany. So
thanks for joining us. We do have a talk back
question for you, and hopefully this will be able to
be summed up in the fifteen or so twenty seconds
or so that you're allotted during the or for the
(09:44):
talkback feature. Have you ever had a supernatural experience? Ghosts, warlocks, witches,
windy go black eyed children, whatever it is, Have you
ever had anything like that? Can you tell us really
succinct and quick little tidbit about it?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Do you believe? Do you not believe? Somebody else?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You know?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Whatever the case?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Hit the talkback feature on the iHeart app and let
us know what you have experienced.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I have a lot and after.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Five o'clock for our deeper Dive segment, we're going to
look at tales from the Southland. Ghost stories from the
Southland that are reportedly true, at least for the people
who experience them. So I have a few of those
tales to share with you because it's spooky season, and
what would we be doing here on this lovely Sunday
(10:38):
if not sharing with you spooky things a few days
before Halloween. Now, something scary for a lot of people
in the vein of horror is the fact that the Palisades, Pasadena,
and Alta Dina areas. Those cities are moving forward rapidly
in some cases in terms of rebuilding and remaking these
(11:04):
areas after the January fires, and mostly in terms of
real estate development. Those are the stories that you've been
watching or hearing or being told from people you know.
But in this case, these developments are being posed as
revitalizing the communities, being able to bring dollars back into
(11:27):
these cities that have been demolished devastated by the fires,
and specifically in the Palisades, just months after its grand
reopening back on July fourth, Gladstones.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Is no more. I love Gladstones.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I remember going to Gladstone's I believe when I graduated
from college.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Way wait wait wait wait wait wait wait way.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Wait wait wait wait Back when I graduated from USC
and it was my first time there and I fell
in love instantly, and it was always a place that
I would revisit, either in the Malibu area or in
Long Beach. There's one in Long Beach if you didn't know,
I think it's still there. But in Malibu, specifically right
there off of Pch and Sunset, Gladstone's has been a
(12:15):
cornerstone of the community, and now the California Coastal Commission
has unanimously approved a plan that will demolish and replace
Gladstone's with the celebrity Chef's new fine dining location. The
celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and the architect responsible for the rebuilding,
(12:38):
Frank Gary. Now The vote took place earlier this month,
but the project has been in the works for years
and that since architect Frank Gary and che Wolfgang Puck
won the right to take over and rebuild the existing property,
which is right there again at pch and Sunset. The
(12:59):
new plan says that the twelve thousand square foot Gladstones
will be demolished and replaced with a seventeen thousand square
foot contemporary dining space that has ocean view decks and
a public promenade near the intersection of Sunset and pc H.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Frank Gary.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
The architects also known for building the Walt Disney Concert
Hall in downtown LA and the Gougenheim Museum in Spain.
And you know a Woofgang Puck celebrity chef. He's been
everywhere for a long time. He will oversee the menu.
Residents have pushed back on the project. They say that's great,
(13:42):
sounds wonderful. However, Gladstone's has been a longtime community staple,
and they're also saying that this development, this construction is
going to be a nuisance, that they have enough development
developing going on, enough construction, and that the beach parking
that was right next to gladstone owns that that's.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Going to be impacted.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Now, no demolition date has been set, but crews are
expected to begin the teardown.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
In the coming months.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
When it comes to Altadena and Pasadena, across town Pasadena,
specifically South Pasadena, is experiencing its own share of developments
in the form of a two hundred and eighty seven
unit apartment building that is expected to occupy a parking
(14:32):
lot at least according to the News, but it's not
a parking lot. No, it actually is the existing and
very popular Shakers restaurant on fair Oaks Boulevard. Shakers is
a beloved institution. People love their clam chowder, their staff,
(14:52):
the camaraderie. They talk of it like it's cheers, the
place where everyone knows your name. But it is going
to go the way of a lot of other businesses
in these beleaguered areas. For this two hundred and eighty
seven unit luxury senior living development, it will be called
the Raymond. It will have one hundred and fifty six
(15:15):
independent living units fifty affordable units. That tells you that
the base rate is going to be astronomical because these
are luxury and eighty two assisted living and memory care units.
Construction on this side is expected to begin in early
twenty twenty six. However, according to the watchdog site Esotoric
(15:39):
Los Angeles, when asked last week about their thoughts, employees
said they didn't even know this was coming and they
are shocked now. The project addresses demand from older Pasadena
residents who want to remain in the community as they age.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
That makes sense, and the.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Amenities will include a well known center fine dining facilities,
a rooftop terrace, a resort style pool deck, and electric
car service to nearby museums, gardens, shopping and golf courses.
One of the spaces is even designed as a speak
easy with a concealed entrance. This is posh, this is luxury,
(16:22):
which means not for the majority of the population. And
residents in this area are pushing back there, saying Fair
Oaks Boulevard is already jam packed with traffic, and you're
gonna do this. You're going to bring in two hundred
and eighty seven more units and patronage and take away
our famed Shakers restaurant. They're saying they're gonna fight it
(16:44):
because even though the plans are there, the one is there,
there has been no actual agreement on moving forwards. So
we'll see what is made of that, and now'll keep
you up to speed should any developments arise. When we
come back, Christmas might not look the same because apparently
(17:04):
we are at risk of not having enough Christmas decorations
to adorn your home with those thousands of lights that
are going to wake everyone up and drive your power
bill into insane areas. We'll talk about how tariffs may
lead to this Christmas decorus.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Shortage and what's going on with toys?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
R us On the other side of the break Tifnany
Hobbs here filling in for Marrow. Don't forget the talk
back question. Have you ever had a supernatural experience?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Let us know you're listening to KFI AM six forty
on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Tiffany Hobbs here, I'm chuckling at Kayla and are off
air conversations which are always so gold. They're great, they're funny.
We just got to always make sure the next office
got to start them. Just the FCC and the everyone,
all the people, the opp everybody is going to be like, whooped.
But I'm so happy you're here and I get to
work with you on Saturdays and on Sundays.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
What true? What a blessing? What an absolute treat.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Speaking of treats, we have two talkbacks that you have
shared with us that are about spooky experiences and one
costume that hmm, I'll let you.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Explain it for yourself. Which one do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
First all, you want to do the costume or you
want to do the spooky experiences.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Let's do speak experience. Let's a costume in the middle,
then the other one.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Okay, a nice little sandwich, let's hear it.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Supernatural. I was with my dad when he died about
thirty forty years ago in the hospital, and he was
in bed, had his watch on. It was a battery
powered watch, had nothing else on. And when we were
walking away after he had passed away, I was talking
to his wife and we noticed that his watch had
stopped the night he died, and it was a battery
(18:52):
powered watch. That was bizarre.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh wow, Oh that made the hair on my arms stack.
Oh wow, bizarre is the right word. All right, let's
do a bizarre You don't think we should do it, Kaylee.
You think we'd do the other spooky one. You want
to drop the costume all together? You want to We'll
do this other spooky one. Ali, Kayla has overpowered us.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
This is Lisa, and here's my spooky story. Hey, my
mother died in the din and a few months later
I was in the din on the couch with my
back to the room. I was called. I felt a
warm hand on my back and when I turned my
head around, she was standing there. And ever since then,
I never sleep with my back to a room. I'm
(19:38):
always facing the room with my back against the couch.
True story.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And it's like, on one hand, it's your mom, so
it's it's it's your mom. But on the other hand,
it's your mom. Wait a minute, she's not supposed to
be here.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Thank you for sharing those stories. Keep those spooky stories coming,
because it's the week before Halloween and I want to
hear of your supernatural experiences. And then also we have
a costume idea and I did get a chuckle out
of this.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Let's do it. God, it's coming. It's worth the way
I see.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Chris.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
I'm not sure if you got my last message. I
was a couple of years ago. I was an abortion
doctor for a Halloween and got in trouble with human resources,
got sent home, and was told never to do that again. Anyway,
I sent you a message already, but I'm hoping at
least one of them goes through. Anyway, I'm thinking about
being an abortion doctor nurse this year prething there. You know,
(20:38):
matter of fact, you could be my nurse's aid.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
How come I can't be. I don't have to be
a nurse's aid. That feels sexist and misogynist. Why can't
I be the doctor, So you want to be the
abortion doctor, not the nurses.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Aid.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I mean, if we're being in the vein of equity,
I would like I'm here for I'm here for it.
If that's the case, if we're going to make a statement,
let's make a statement, it would I don't know how
to do that, though, in this case, send these to Chris.
These are great ideas for him. He can be an
abortion I don't know what that will look like, or
an abortion nurse or whatever that Moving along, keep them coming,
(21:10):
hit the talkback feature.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We said, Chris is out.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He's looking for the most offensive costume he could possibly
muster up. If you have some ideas, sure shoot him
down or shoot them in. But also we're wondering about
your supernatural experiences on this fine Sunday as I fill
in for Merrill until seven.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Also something scary, but it relates to Halloween or excuse me,
to Christmas, And in this case I'm going to kind
of do a Christmas roundup in this next segment here. Unfortunately,
there's a shortage of Christmas decor. Christmas decorations are the
(21:49):
newest casualties of the tariffs and may lead to an
overall shortage and rising prices. So if you typically wait
until last minute to get your decorations.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Do them now, or like Andy, clean out your garage,
see what you need, donate what you don't. But at
any rate, don't wait until the last minute because you
might not be able to buy what it is that
you want or need, or the prices will be a
lot higher than what you're expecting. And these are due
to the Trump Administration's imposed tariffs. There will be significantly
(22:24):
less Christmas decorations on US shelves this season. And not
that this has been officially declared in mass but the
Washington Post does in fact believe that we are quote
facing a potential shortage, specifically with fake trees. Now, a
(22:45):
lot of the trees that we get that are fake,
around eighty seven percent specifically, come from China. Come from China.
So if you're getting a fake tree, you want to wait,
probably not the best idea, because one of the CEOs
of an artificial Christmas tree company, Chris Butler, said that
(23:08):
they are definitely going to see a shorter supply this year.
Not only will you have fewer options for yourself, but
there is expected to be at least a ten percent
price increase across the board, and the suggestion is buy
a real tree or again start now. Christmas started I
(23:32):
think in August on the shelves from what I saw,
so you might be out of luck, but you can
certainly hit second hand stores because there are quite a
few decorations that I've seen out that seem to be
in decent quality. People just unloaded them not knowing, and
this could be your treasure. One man's trash is another
man's Christmas decoration that you won't be able to find
(23:55):
at your local Walmart or lots.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Toys r Us on the other end, is saying we
don't have a shortage anymore. In fact, we're back and
we're reopening across the United States, and specifically right here
in southern California. We will have two specific new stores,
and the company has announced this nationwide expansion, saying that
(24:22):
there will be thirty overall new locations, but ours will
include a flagship store at the Camerio Premium outlets right
there in Ventura. I love those outlets. They're packed right
now because it's Christmas. Thanks the Ween, thanks the Holla,
Christmas whatever this is, but they're packed. You can go
(24:43):
to Camerio Premium Outlets. You'll see a new Toys r
Us and then there's another one on Bay Street Emeryville
Mall in the Bay Area. So if you're up north,
you can hit that Toys r Us in Emeryville, or
if you're down here and Ventura, you can scoot on
over to the Camarillo outlets and you'll be able to
(25:05):
get your popular brand favorites such as Lego, Barbie, hot Wheels,
nerf and Paul Patrol, amongst other popular toys and items.
And when I hear Barbie, it's funny because I'm well
past my Barbie playing age. But when I go into
a store and there's a Barbie ale, I find myself
(25:29):
like the weirdo I ams I suppose walking down the
Barbie aisle and just looking because there's still that kid
in me that's like, oh, man, I can afford this
now I should. No, I'm not going to buy this
because that would be a little strange. I know there
are collectors, but I never was one. I just enjoyed Barbie,
and it's really cool to see how the brand has
really expanded itself even now. At this age, and Toys
(25:52):
r Us is saying, they are the place where a
kid can be a kid and you never have to
grow up, so you can do like I do, just reminisce,
or you could patronize and enjoy at any rate.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Toys r Us is back.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
When we come back, we're going to talk about some
of the scariest tales around Los Angeles, and you keep
your talkbacks coming because I want to know what you've
experienced wherever you are in the form of the supernatural.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Tiffany Hobbs here filling in from Meryl till seven. Chris
is out looking for very offensive costumes, and I have
a list of some ideas that I think we should
give him, that we should send him.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Okay, we'll do that, but first let's get.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
To your talkback, your spooky stories of the supernatural. I
asked you to hit that talkback feature, hit that button
and tell us what supernatural experiences have you had. We've
had ghost stories so far. We've had some really chilling
tales of being touched that make that sound better, being
(27:05):
tapped by supernatural entities, and really scary stuff let's see
what you have to say.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
Okay, Lee here, and I know I only have thirty seconds,
so I got to make this quick. My grandfather was
in the hospital sick for many many weeks. I could
not get away to see him because my boss was
a jerk. And then one night I had a dream
that he was sitting on the end of my bed
and he took one big breath and said, thank God,
(27:36):
that's over. Next morning, got a call and he had
passed that night. Have a good chow.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Wow wow.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I've heard quite a bit of that. Apparitions or premonitions, dreams.
People talked about that as far as nine to eleven
is concerned people having dreams tonight before and either not
going or unfortunately still going into the buildings or onto
the plane or whatever it may be. But at any rate,
keep your stories coming. It's the Halloween season. These are
(28:10):
true stories. We could inundate it with so much fiction.
Let's get some real stuff, and you're certainly delivering. I
have my own story. I have a lot of supernatural stories.
And I was asking Calybs she had Annie and Ali,
I'll ask you the same in a moment. But we'll
go to you last, we'll give you a bit of
time to think about something, and then we'll kind of
wrap up the segment with some costume ideas. But one
(28:32):
of the stories that I have, and forgive me if
I've told this on air, because it's one of my favorites,
but it really happened, is I was sitting in my classroom.
I'm a teacher, and we were preparing for the next
few days when the students would be arriving. It was summer,
so the campus was devoid of students or just staff,
and most of the staff had already gone home. So
I was sitting in my classroom looking down a long,
(28:53):
dark hallway. The lights actually were very dim for some reason,
and there was no one in the hallway about four
or five classssrooms and offices. And I'm at the inn
and I'm looking down, and I have my music on.
I'm kind of doing some paperwork, and something caught my eyes.
So I looked up and nothing happened, and I kind
of looked back down, and something happened again, and I
look up and I stared into a door that was
(29:17):
closed at the very end of the hallway. And what
I saw was you believe it or not an apparition,
some sort of figure walk across my line of sight,
and it was a girl. She was very pale, She
was completely see through transparent. She was white in color,
(29:37):
completely white, like crayon white, and had long, long, long
white hair, kind of blondish kind of white.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And she had like a long.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Pajama shirt or gown on very turn of the century ish.
And she walked across my line of sight. She never
looked at me, And I saw this clear as day,
hand to God. She walked across my line of sight
and into the wall of the next space over. No
door opened, no sound, she just walked across, And I
(30:10):
know I saw what I saw. Can't tell me otherwise.
It's one of many tales, but that's one that I
tell a lot, especially to my students when they're misbehaving.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
It's going to take you down there.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, Kayla, wait, has anybody else at that school seen
the same?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
So she's like, oh no, does she freaking yes?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
So this is a We're we're on the grounds of
a building that's been there for over one hundred years.
And I asked our janitor, longtime janitor. Maybe weeks or
a couple months later, just common quick conversation. I was like, hey,
have you ever heard anything or felt anything? It feels
like it's a little spooky here. I've been there now
for five years, so I've had my share of like
weird feelings oat building.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
And before I could.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Describe what I saw, he said, you saw the girl,
didn't you?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Right, Oh that's terrifying, Kayla. You're grew up in a
haunted house. I'd say, we just hear things all the time.
I've never seen any people, but I remember this night
in particular. My sister and I were home alone, maybe
like you know, ten and twelve, nine and eleven, pretty
much around that age, and it was okay back then,
and we were watching movies and I we hear somebody
(31:17):
like walking down the steps slowly, but nobody's there but
me and her, and we're both downstairs obviously, and then
we ignore it the first time, you know, maybe we're
just you know, tripping out, and then the footsteps get loud,
you know, we're bad, and they just keep coming and
we're like, yeah, let's walk to Grandma's house. Gone, that's
what we did. Yeah, do you ever find out what
it was?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
It was? The ghost?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Did you name them, Bob Ali, you'r up spooky tale.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I was with my mom at a hotel in Glasgow
and my mom is super superstitious.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
We had an international tale, okay.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
God and right as we get into the room, the
guy that ships to the rooms just like, oh, just
so you know, this is one of the most haunted
hotels in Scotland.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Great.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I think it's called a Cathedral House. Oh and they've
been the first like thirty forty minutes where like hearing
like kids laughter or like and I don't know if
it's just being told that this is the most like
one of the most haunted places around.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Oh man, my.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Mom just was like nope, not having it. And we
had to go to another hotel at like eleventh am
after a flight.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, not staying around to find out what it was.
Keep your spooky tales coming. On the other side of
the break, we are going to have our Deeper Dive
segment that I usually have on Saturdays with Tiffany, and
we're going to talk about spooky tales around the Southland,
people reporting things that they've seen or felt or heard.
I have a rundown of some of the best ones,
and keep your talkbacks, coming love to know what you've experienced.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
They've been great thus far.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Some ideas for Chris's Halloween costume hmm, here's one. You
can go online to impostames. You can be a mammoth condom.
You can dress as a condom. Chris dress as Happy Poop.
There's also an adult sperm donor three D costume by
(33:13):
Spirit Halloween, of which we chronicle last week in our
Deeper Dives segment.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
You can be a sperm donor. And there's also.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
You could be an adult tampon, which implies that when
it says adult that there are child costumes of the
same ilk and I hope not. But Chris, if you're listening,
there are some fun ideas as you embark upon your
quest to find the most offensive costume you could possibly find.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
That's why he's not.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Here, But I am until seven filling in for Meryl
Tiffany Hobbs
Speaker 1 (33:44):
KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Tiffany Hobbs here filling in for Chris Merrill, who I
believe is off trying to find the most offensive Halloween
costume he could possibly find, and you know that takes
some time. He's going to be out today trying to
find something.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
To get canceled for.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I gave him some suggestions, he said they weren't good enough,
so we'll see what he comes up with. Perhaps, say,
perhaps we could ask you what you think his most
offensive Halloween costume might possibly be, But then I feel
like we're opening up Pandora's box, so I won't do that.
But I will have a question for you to chime
in via the iHeart app and the talkback feature, so
(00:50):
stay tuned for that. As Andy said, and I love
Andy Reesemeyer, isn't he doing such a good job?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Isn't he kicking butt? He said?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We have a stacked show, and that is an understatement.
I'm here till seven, so I'm able to fit in
a lot more than what I do on my normal
Saturday show. Starting with Go Dodgers, who, at least for now,
because it feels like they're not necessarily playing at their best,
(01:18):
but at the very least they were able to beat
the Blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And now the World Series is tied one to one.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
They're gonna move back to Chavez Ravine tomorrow for Game three,
and I believe Game three and four are right here.
Maybe five, we'll see what happens. But the World Series
is tied, So let's go Dodgers. Hope you clapped on that.
Hope you clapped on that. And then also we're gonna
(01:45):
talk a little bit about Prop fifty. Not a long story,
but just a little tidbit.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Prop fifty is actually called, and no one seems to
know this, the Election Rigging Response Act. We know it
by its cute little nickname Prop fifty, and what it
aims to do is stop redistricting like what's happening currently
in Texas.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well. It's projected to pass.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
All of the polling did, they did their due diligence,
and if it were to be voted on today, it
would pass with almost sixty percent of the vote. We
have two weeks left until California's special election, but again,
right now it is projected to pass.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's Prop fifty. Mayor Bass is in the news.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It seems like she's always in the news, and I
think if you're mayor, you probably will be so for
whoever is going to run in the next election, just
know your name is always gonna come up well. Mayor
Bass has named thirty year LAFD VET Jamie Moore as
the new fire chief following a nationwide search and consultations firefighters. Now,
(03:02):
Jamie Moore, our new fire chief is inheriting a battered
and beleaguered fire department after January's fires. And like I
told Andy, I'll have updates on how the Palisades and
Pasadena are planning on moving forward in ways that are
really angering residents right now.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Locals are upset, they're hurt.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Some are saying that they are shocked by some of
the developments coming out of Pasadena, Outadena, and the Palisades.
But I have two stories that will cover Pasadena and
the Palisades, and I'll share that with you after five
point thirty. June Lockhart June Lockhart has died at age
one hundred. You know June Lockhart, And that's according to
(03:51):
her daughter. By the way, June Lockhart was probably best
known for playing Ruth.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Martin, the mom in lass Everyone.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Knows Lassie, the black and white version of Lassie or
was it color eyes? I don't remember. I did watch
it growing up. My mother a great mother, and she
turned me on to the classics.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Hey mom. But June Lockhart passed away at one hundred.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
She also starred in movies including Lost in Space, but
she's best known for portraying Ruth Martin from Lassie. And
there's a quote, and i'll paraphrase it by June Lockhart
where she said, how much of a blessing is it
to be known for one role? That one role is
so cemented in people's minds that that's what they associate
(04:39):
you with. She found it not to be limiting to
be known as the mom from Lassie, but as a
gift in her career. She also was the daughter of
actors Jean and Kathleen Lockhart, Jean Lockhart and Academy Award
winner himself. So rest in peace to the great June Lockhart.
We also lost Henry D.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Jack.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Now you might not know that name, but if you
are anywhere affiliated with South Los Angeles, then you definitely
know Hank's mini market on Florence and Eleventh Avenue right
there in the heart of the South Central area and
mister Hank as Henry D. Jackson was known, found it
(05:22):
the beloved Hank's Mini Market. He passed away this weekend.
VP Kamala Harris is back in the news as well.
She is on a speaking circuit traveling around the country.
She'll be back here in Los Angeles next Tuesday at.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The will Turn Theater.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
But she's not in the news for speaking necessarily, not
for these speaking engagements, but more so about one specific
thing that she said. And what she said is I'm
not done insinuating that a run for president is in
(06:01):
her future once again.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Now there have.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Been suppositions and ideas about whether or not VP Harris
would rerun again in twenty twenty eight, but now it
seems that she herself has taken the reins on this
narrative and is saying, keep a lookout, because I might
just run. Governor Newsom also is saying the same thing.
(06:27):
He's not saying no, he's not explicitly saying yes. He's
kind of leaving it in a gray area, and we
all know that gray means he's gonna run twenty twenty eight.
Governor Newsom is gonna be right there in that race
if all goes as he plans, because he says that
that is something that.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He would greatly look forward to.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Do you remember the Mountain Lion p. Twenty two, famous
mountain Lion from the Griffith Park area.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well. P.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Twenty two lived in Griffith Park and was tracked for
years up until its death in December of twenty twenty two,
was hit by a car crossing I believe one of
those streets up there, or the one on one something.
But three years, almost to the day later, there will
be a sculpture created in p. Twenty two's memory, a
(07:20):
memorial sculpture, and that is thanks to a coalition of
different organizations including the Save La Cougar's Campaign, Friends of
Griffith Park, and City of Los Angeles partners. The sculpture
will be created by artist Adam Matineau or Matano, so
look out for that. They expect it to be done
(07:41):
in early twenty twenty six. P. Twenty two Getting another
round at infamy. When we come back, we're going to
get into these stories relating to the Palisades and to Pasadena.
Ten months after the fires, Pasadena and the Palisades have
plans in motion to move forward, but residents of both
(08:03):
cities are not happy. I'll tell you what the plans
are on the other side of the break, and we
have a lot more news to come, so stay right here.
Tiffany Hobbs filling in for Chris Merrill from four to
seven this evening.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'll have that talk back question when we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Tiffany Hobbs here filling in for Chris Merrill, who, as
I told you last time, is off trying to find
the most offensive Halloween costume that he could possibly don
not just on Friday, which is Halloween, but throughout the week.
He seems like he wants to wear this thing every day,
and he said he needed a day because you know,
it's really hard to find something so so offensive. His
(08:56):
goal is to get canceled, so wish him well. I'll
have a dates about that, Caleb throughout the show. You
know he told you that too. Did he tell you that,
Oh yeah, he's going full floozy this Halloween. It's about
to be crazy. He was either he was going between
like super duper hyper racist or like overtly sexual and
I was like, go for the sexual side of things
(09:17):
and we'll see what he can come up with, no
pun intended.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I see what you did, then we'll see we'll see
what he does with it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Right there we go. Hope he's listening. Hey Chris Merrill,
but yeah, I'm here till seven. Usually hear me on
Saturdays from five to seven for Saturdays with Tiffany. So
thanks for joining us. We do have a talk back
question for you, and hopefully this will be able to
be summed up in the fifteen or so twenty seconds
or so that you're allotted during the or for the
(09:44):
talkback feature. Have you ever had a supernatural experience? Ghosts, warlocks, witches,
windy go black eyed children, whatever it is, Have you
ever had anything like that? Can you tell us really
succinct and quick little tidbit about it?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Do you believe? Do you not believe? Somebody else?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You know?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Whatever the case?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Hit the talkback feature on the iHeart app and let
us know what you have experienced.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I have a lot and after.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Five o'clock for our deeper Dive segment, we're going to
look at tales from the Southland. Ghost stories from the
Southland that are reportedly true, at least for the people
who experience them. So I have a few of those
tales to share with you because it's spooky season, and
what would we be doing here on this lovely Sunday
(10:38):
if not sharing with you spooky things a few days
before Halloween. Now, something scary for a lot of people
in the vein of horror is the fact that the Palisades, Pasadena,
and Alta Dina areas. Those cities are moving forward rapidly
in some cases in terms of rebuilding and remaking these
(11:04):
areas after the January fires, and mostly in terms of
real estate development. Those are the stories that you've been
watching or hearing or being told from people you know.
But in this case, these developments are being posed as
revitalizing the communities, being able to bring dollars back into
(11:27):
these cities that have been demolished devastated by the fires,
and specifically in the Palisades, just months after its grand
reopening back on July fourth, Gladstones.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Is no more. I love Gladstones.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I remember going to Gladstone's I believe when I graduated
from college.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Way wait wait wait wait wait wait wait way.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Wait wait wait wait Back when I graduated from USC
and it was my first time there and I fell
in love instantly, and it was always a place that
I would revisit, either in the Malibu area or in
Long Beach. There's one in Long Beach if you didn't know,
I think it's still there. But in Malibu, specifically right
there off of Pch and Sunset, Gladstone's has been a
(12:15):
cornerstone of the community, and now the California Coastal Commission
has unanimously approved a plan that will demolish and replace
Gladstone's with the celebrity Chef's new fine dining location. The
celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and the architect responsible for the rebuilding,
(12:38):
Frank Gary. Now The vote took place earlier this month,
but the project has been in the works for years
and that since architect Frank Gary and che Wolfgang Puck
won the right to take over and rebuild the existing property,
which is right there again at pch and Sunset. The
(12:59):
new plan says that the twelve thousand square foot Gladstones
will be demolished and replaced with a seventeen thousand square
foot contemporary dining space that has ocean view decks and
a public promenade near the intersection of Sunset and pc H.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Frank Gary.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
The architects also known for building the Walt Disney Concert
Hall in downtown LA and the Gougenheim Museum in Spain.
And you know a Woofgang Puck celebrity chef. He's been
everywhere for a long time. He will oversee the menu.
Residents have pushed back on the project. They say that's great,
(13:42):
sounds wonderful. However, Gladstone's has been a longtime community staple,
and they're also saying that this development, this construction is
going to be a nuisance, that they have enough development
developing going on, enough construction, and that the beach parking
that was right next to gladstone owns that that's.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Going to be impacted.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Now, no demolition date has been set, but crews are
expected to begin the teardown.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
In the coming months.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
When it comes to Altadena and Pasadena, across town Pasadena,
specifically South Pasadena, is experiencing its own share of developments
in the form of a two hundred and eighty seven
unit apartment building that is expected to occupy a parking
(14:32):
lot at least according to the News, but it's not
a parking lot. No, it actually is the existing and
very popular Shakers restaurant on fair Oaks Boulevard. Shakers is
a beloved institution. People love their clam chowder, their staff,
(14:52):
the camaraderie. They talk of it like it's cheers, the
place where everyone knows your name. But it is going
to go the way of a lot of other businesses
in these beleaguered areas. For this two hundred and eighty
seven unit luxury senior living development, it will be called
the Raymond. It will have one hundred and fifty six
(15:15):
independent living units fifty affordable units. That tells you that
the base rate is going to be astronomical because these
are luxury and eighty two assisted living and memory care units.
Construction on this side is expected to begin in early
twenty twenty six. However, according to the watchdog site Esotoric
(15:39):
Los Angeles, when asked last week about their thoughts, employees
said they didn't even know this was coming and they
are shocked now. The project addresses demand from older Pasadena
residents who want to remain in the community as they age.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
That makes sense, and the.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Amenities will include a well known center fine dining facilities,
a rooftop terrace, a resort style pool deck, and electric
car service to nearby museums, gardens, shopping and golf courses.
One of the spaces is even designed as a speak
easy with a concealed entrance. This is posh, this is luxury,
(16:22):
which means not for the majority of the population. And
residents in this area are pushing back there, saying Fair
Oaks Boulevard is already jam packed with traffic, and you're
gonna do this. You're going to bring in two hundred
and eighty seven more units and patronage and take away
our famed Shakers restaurant. They're saying they're gonna fight it
(16:44):
because even though the plans are there, the one is there,
there has been no actual agreement on moving forwards. So
we'll see what is made of that, and now'll keep
you up to speed should any developments arise. When we
come back, Christmas might not look the same because apparently
(17:04):
we are at risk of not having enough Christmas decorations
to adorn your home with those thousands of lights that
are going to wake everyone up and drive your power
bill into insane areas. We'll talk about how tariffs may
lead to this Christmas decorus.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Shortage and what's going on with toys?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
R us On the other side of the break Tifnany
Hobbs here filling in for Marrow. Don't forget the talk
back question. Have you ever had a supernatural experience?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Let us know you're listening to KFI AM six forty
on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Tiffany Hobbs here, I'm chuckling at Kayla and are off
air conversations which are always so gold. They're great, they're funny.
We just got to always make sure the next office
got to start them. Just the FCC and the everyone,
all the people, the opp everybody is going to be like, whooped.
But I'm so happy you're here and I get to
work with you on Saturdays and on Sundays.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
What true? What a blessing? What an absolute treat.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Speaking of treats, we have two talkbacks that you have
shared with us that are about spooky experiences and one
costume that hmm, I'll let you.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Explain it for yourself. Which one do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
First all, you want to do the costume or you
want to do the spooky experiences.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Let's do speak experience. Let's a costume in the middle,
then the other one.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Okay, a nice little sandwich, let's hear it.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Supernatural. I was with my dad when he died about
thirty forty years ago in the hospital, and he was
in bed, had his watch on. It was a battery
powered watch, had nothing else on. And when we were
walking away after he had passed away, I was talking
to his wife and we noticed that his watch had
stopped the night he died, and it was a battery
(18:52):
powered watch. That was bizarre.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh wow, Oh that made the hair on my arms stack.
Oh wow, bizarre is the right word. All right, let's
do a bizarre You don't think we should do it, Kaylee.
You think we'd do the other spooky one. You want
to drop the costume all together? You want to We'll
do this other spooky one. Ali, Kayla has overpowered us.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
This is Lisa, and here's my spooky story. Hey, my
mother died in the din and a few months later
I was in the din on the couch with my
back to the room. I was called. I felt a
warm hand on my back and when I turned my
head around, she was standing there. And ever since then,
I never sleep with my back to a room. I'm
(19:38):
always facing the room with my back against the couch.
True story.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And it's like, on one hand, it's your mom, so
it's it's it's your mom. But on the other hand,
it's your mom. Wait a minute, she's not supposed to
be here.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Thank you for sharing those stories. Keep those spooky stories coming,
because it's the week before Halloween and I want to
hear of your supernatural experiences. And then also we have
a costume idea and I did get a chuckle out
of this.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Let's do it. God, it's coming. It's worth the way
I see.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Chris.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
I'm not sure if you got my last message. I
was a couple of years ago. I was an abortion
doctor for a Halloween and got in trouble with human resources,
got sent home, and was told never to do that again. Anyway,
I sent you a message already, but I'm hoping at
least one of them goes through. Anyway, I'm thinking about
being an abortion doctor nurse this year prething there. You know,
(20:38):
matter of fact, you could be my nurse's aid.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
How come I can't be. I don't have to be
a nurse's aid. That feels sexist and misogynist. Why can't
I be the doctor, So you want to be the
abortion doctor, not the nurses.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Aid.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I mean, if we're being in the vein of equity,
I would like I'm here for I'm here for it.
If that's the case, if we're going to make a statement,
let's make a statement, it would I don't know how
to do that, though, in this case, send these to Chris.
These are great ideas for him. He can be an
abortion I don't know what that will look like, or
an abortion nurse or whatever that Moving along, keep them coming,
(21:10):
hit the talkback feature.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We said, Chris is out.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He's looking for the most offensive costume he could possibly
muster up. If you have some ideas, sure shoot him
down or shoot them in. But also we're wondering about
your supernatural experiences on this fine Sunday as I fill
in for Merrill until seven.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Also something scary, but it relates to Halloween or excuse me,
to Christmas, And in this case I'm going to kind
of do a Christmas roundup in this next segment here. Unfortunately,
there's a shortage of Christmas decor. Christmas decorations are the
(21:49):
newest casualties of the tariffs and may lead to an
overall shortage and rising prices. So if you typically wait
until last minute to get your decorations.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Do them now, or like Andy, clean out your garage,
see what you need, donate what you don't. But at
any rate, don't wait until the last minute because you
might not be able to buy what it is that
you want or need, or the prices will be a
lot higher than what you're expecting. And these are due
to the Trump Administration's imposed tariffs. There will be significantly
(22:24):
less Christmas decorations on US shelves this season. And not
that this has been officially declared in mass but the
Washington Post does in fact believe that we are quote
facing a potential shortage, specifically with fake trees. Now, a
(22:45):
lot of the trees that we get that are fake,
around eighty seven percent specifically, come from China. Come from China.
So if you're getting a fake tree, you want to wait,
probably not the best idea, because one of the CEOs
of an artificial Christmas tree company, Chris Butler, said that
(23:08):
they are definitely going to see a shorter supply this year.
Not only will you have fewer options for yourself, but
there is expected to be at least a ten percent
price increase across the board, and the suggestion is buy
a real tree or again start now. Christmas started I
(23:32):
think in August on the shelves from what I saw,
so you might be out of luck, but you can
certainly hit second hand stores because there are quite a
few decorations that I've seen out that seem to be
in decent quality. People just unloaded them not knowing, and
this could be your treasure. One man's trash is another
man's Christmas decoration that you won't be able to find
(23:55):
at your local Walmart or lots.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Toys r Us on the other end, is saying we
don't have a shortage anymore. In fact, we're back and
we're reopening across the United States, and specifically right here
in southern California. We will have two specific new stores,
and the company has announced this nationwide expansion, saying that
(24:22):
there will be thirty overall new locations, but ours will
include a flagship store at the Camerio Premium outlets right
there in Ventura. I love those outlets. They're packed right
now because it's Christmas. Thanks the Ween, thanks the Holla,
Christmas whatever this is, but they're packed. You can go
(24:43):
to Camerio Premium Outlets. You'll see a new Toys r
Us and then there's another one on Bay Street Emeryville
Mall in the Bay Area. So if you're up north,
you can hit that Toys r Us in Emeryville, or
if you're down here and Ventura, you can scoot on
over to the Camarillo outlets and you'll be able to
(25:05):
get your popular brand favorites such as Lego, Barbie, hot Wheels,
nerf and Paul Patrol, amongst other popular toys and items.
And when I hear Barbie, it's funny because I'm well
past my Barbie playing age. But when I go into
a store and there's a Barbie ale, I find myself
(25:29):
like the weirdo I ams I suppose walking down the
Barbie aisle and just looking because there's still that kid
in me that's like, oh, man, I can afford this
now I should. No, I'm not going to buy this
because that would be a little strange. I know there
are collectors, but I never was one. I just enjoyed Barbie,
and it's really cool to see how the brand has
really expanded itself even now. At this age, and Toys
(25:52):
r Us is saying, they are the place where a
kid can be a kid and you never have to
grow up, so you can do like I do, just reminisce,
or you could patronize and enjoy at any rate.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Toys r Us is back.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
When we come back, we're going to talk about some
of the scariest tales around Los Angeles, and you keep
your talkbacks coming because I want to know what you've
experienced wherever you are in the form of the supernatural.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Tiffany Hobbs here filling in from Meryl till seven. Chris
is out looking for very offensive costumes, and I have
a list of some ideas that I think we should
give him, that we should send him.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Okay, we'll do that, but first let's get.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
To your talkback, your spooky stories of the supernatural. I
asked you to hit that talkback feature, hit that button
and tell us what supernatural experiences have you had. We've
had ghost stories so far. We've had some really chilling
tales of being touched that make that sound better, being
(27:05):
tapped by supernatural entities, and really scary stuff let's see
what you have to say.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
Okay, Lee here, and I know I only have thirty seconds,
so I got to make this quick. My grandfather was
in the hospital sick for many many weeks. I could
not get away to see him because my boss was
a jerk. And then one night I had a dream
that he was sitting on the end of my bed
and he took one big breath and said, thank God,
(27:36):
that's over. Next morning, got a call and he had
passed that night. Have a good chow.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Wow wow.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I've heard quite a bit of that. Apparitions or premonitions, dreams.
People talked about that as far as nine to eleven
is concerned people having dreams tonight before and either not
going or unfortunately still going into the buildings or onto
the plane or whatever it may be. But at any rate,
keep your stories coming. It's the Halloween season. These are
(28:10):
true stories. We could inundate it with so much fiction.
Let's get some real stuff, and you're certainly delivering. I
have my own story. I have a lot of supernatural stories.
And I was asking Calybs she had Annie and Ali,
I'll ask you the same in a moment. But we'll
go to you last, we'll give you a bit of
time to think about something, and then we'll kind of
wrap up the segment with some costume ideas. But one
(28:32):
of the stories that I have, and forgive me if
I've told this on air, because it's one of my favorites,
but it really happened, is I was sitting in my classroom.
I'm a teacher, and we were preparing for the next
few days when the students would be arriving. It was summer,
so the campus was devoid of students or just staff,
and most of the staff had already gone home. So
I was sitting in my classroom looking down a long,
(28:53):
dark hallway. The lights actually were very dim for some reason,
and there was no one in the hallway about four
or five classssrooms and offices. And I'm at the inn
and I'm looking down, and I have my music on.
I'm kind of doing some paperwork, and something caught my eyes.
So I looked up and nothing happened, and I kind
of looked back down, and something happened again, and I
look up and I stared into a door that was
(29:17):
closed at the very end of the hallway. And what
I saw was you believe it or not an apparition,
some sort of figure walk across my line of sight,
and it was a girl. She was very pale, She
was completely see through transparent. She was white in color,
(29:37):
completely white, like crayon white, and had long, long, long
white hair, kind of blondish kind of white.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And she had like a long.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Pajama shirt or gown on very turn of the century ish.
And she walked across my line of sight. She never
looked at me, And I saw this clear as day,
hand to God. She walked across my line of sight
and into the wall of the next space over. No
door opened, no sound, she just walked across, And I
(30:10):
know I saw what I saw. Can't tell me otherwise.
It's one of many tales, but that's one that I
tell a lot, especially to my students when they're misbehaving.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
It's going to take you down there.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, Kayla, wait, has anybody else at that school seen
the same?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
So she's like, oh no, does she freaking yes?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
So this is a We're we're on the grounds of
a building that's been there for over one hundred years.
And I asked our janitor, longtime janitor. Maybe weeks or
a couple months later, just common quick conversation. I was like, hey,
have you ever heard anything or felt anything? It feels
like it's a little spooky here. I've been there now
for five years, so I've had my share of like
weird feelings oat building.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
And before I could.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Describe what I saw, he said, you saw the girl,
didn't you?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Right, Oh that's terrifying, Kayla. You're grew up in a
haunted house. I'd say, we just hear things all the time.
I've never seen any people, but I remember this night
in particular. My sister and I were home alone, maybe
like you know, ten and twelve, nine and eleven, pretty
much around that age, and it was okay back then,
and we were watching movies and I we hear somebody
(31:17):
like walking down the steps slowly, but nobody's there but
me and her, and we're both downstairs obviously, and then
we ignore it the first time, you know, maybe we're
just you know, tripping out, and then the footsteps get loud,
you know, we're bad, and they just keep coming and
we're like, yeah, let's walk to Grandma's house. Gone, that's
what we did. Yeah, do you ever find out what
it was?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
It was? The ghost?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Did you name them, Bob Ali, you'r up spooky tale.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I was with my mom at a hotel in Glasgow
and my mom is super superstitious.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
We had an international tale, okay.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
God and right as we get into the room, the
guy that ships to the rooms just like, oh, just
so you know, this is one of the most haunted
hotels in Scotland.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Great.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I think it's called a Cathedral House. Oh and they've
been the first like thirty forty minutes where like hearing
like kids laughter or like and I don't know if
it's just being told that this is the most like
one of the most haunted places around.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Oh man, my.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Mom just was like nope, not having it. And we
had to go to another hotel at like eleventh am
after a flight.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, not staying around to find out what it was.
Keep your spooky tales coming. On the other side of
the break, we are going to have our Deeper Dive
segment that I usually have on Saturdays with Tiffany, and
we're going to talk about spooky tales around the Southland,
people reporting things that they've seen or felt or heard.
I have a rundown of some of the best ones,
and keep your talkbacks, coming love to know what you've experienced.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
They've been great thus far.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Some ideas for Chris's Halloween costume hmm, here's one. You
can go online to impostames. You can be a mammoth condom.
You can dress as a condom. Chris dress as Happy Poop.
There's also an adult sperm donor three D costume by
(33:13):
Spirit Halloween, of which we chronicle last week in our
Deeper Dives segment.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
You can be a sperm donor. And there's also.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
You could be an adult tampon, which implies that when
it says adult that there are child costumes of the
same ilk and I hope not. But Chris, if you're listening,
there are some fun ideas as you embark upon your
quest to find the most offensive costume you could possibly find.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
That's why he's not.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
