In the first hour of The Tiffany Hobbs Show, Tiffany explores why record numbers of people are leaving California for destinations like Arizona. She delves deep into the data to uncover the factors driving this mass migration. ABC News correspondent Alex Stone joins the conversation to discuss recent E. coli outbreaks and how you can stay safe. The hour concludes with a look at a controversial case where no charges were filed against a man involved in a vigilante sting operation by Riverside teens, raising important questions about justice and legality.

You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
What's Up everybody?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Tiffany Hobbs here and this is Saturdays with Tiffany. It's
a cold, gray, hauntingly beautiful Saturday. Indeed, I hope you're
doing well. Did you happen to brave the grocery stores today?
Thanksgiving is just next week? Are you one of those
crazy people getting out today trying to get your turkey,
(00:33):
trying to get your ham and all your fixings? Well,
if you are, and if you are now tuning in
to try and decompress, thank you for that. Thanks for
being with me. Time is flying, isn't it. It feels
like it was just October, It was just Halloween. I
think right now we're already in Thanksgiving and Christmas is
(00:53):
just around the corner. There are about fifty days, five
zero days left in twenty twenty four, can you believe it?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's flying by.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And just like you heard a little bit earlier, the
KFI Pastathon is off to a beautiful start. So thanks
for spending one of those remaining fifty days with us
today out there with Neil yesterday with Tim, and I'll
give you more information about the beautiful Kfi pastathon. As
we continue speaking of Thanksgiving, tis the season for binge, eating,
(01:30):
over eating. I'm raising my hand. I am guilty. I'm
one of those people who looks forward to this time
of year so that I can indulge somewhat guilt free.
But of course, with all those assorted meats and sweets
and breads and hopefully some vegetables also on your plate,
new Year's resolutions quickly follow.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes, within this fifty days, not.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Only are we a gluttonist people enjoying all of the
fruit of our labor, but also we are a regretful
people after we.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Do all of that eating.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And undoubtedly, come January first, many people will be faced
with genes that may not fit, perhaps other things that
are not necessarily to your liking.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And there are.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Miracle drugs being touted as there to help you well
with those miracle drugs like ozimpic you might have heard of.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It has a catchy little song, right, oh oh oh, ozimpic.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And we Govy, which itself does not have a catchy
little song, but is right there with ozempic. We have
an expert coming on at six o'clock, top of the
six o'clock hour. She is an integrative health expert. Her
name is doctor Swathy Vera Nasi Diaz, and she's going
to warn us about the pitfalls and dangers of drugs
(02:56):
like ozempic and drugs like we govy, because she says
they should not be the go to for this fast
acting kind of resolution to too much turkey and pie.
So that'd be at the top of the six o'clock hour,
doctor swathyvar Nacidas aka doctor Swathy. And let's say you
(03:16):
can't get your hands on ozempic. Let's just say you
don't have the money, because it is kind of expensive
to get your hands on this miracle drug. Well, the
nationwide E coli outbreak will certainly shave off a few
pounds for you if you should be so unfortunate to
get it. I think I had it, and I'll tell
(03:38):
you a bit about what my experience was.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I'll save you a lot of the details.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And our buddy Alex Stone from ABC will be on
with us right around five point thirty to give us
more information about this E coli outbreak, what it is affecting,
and how you can combat it. So that you don't
end up with E. Coli in your household and definitely
not in your stomach, your gut area. We're going to
get into why a church in Switzerland has started using
(04:05):
an ai Jesus and ai Jesus? You know, what are
we doing? What are we doing here? But first, before
we get into ai Jesus, before we get into we Gov,
before we get into all the other things, we're going to.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Talk about some local stories.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Starting with people are leaving California, and.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's not the surprise.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
If you follow the news, you follow KFI like I
know you do, then you've heard quite a few reasons
to leave. Where are people going?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
In The US Census says that Californians looking to escape
the high cost of living are apparently moving in droves
to Arizona more than anywhere else in the US. The
Bureau estimates that Phoenix has been a popular relocation destination
not only for Californians but all Americans. Between twenty seventeen
(04:58):
and twenty twenty one, one hundred and eighty four thousand
people who relocated to Arizona. During that time frame, about
fifty thousand came from California.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Arizona is pretty beautiful, is it. I've been to Phoenix
and Tucson.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Desert's really nice.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I don't know that i'd want to live there, No, permanently,
but I do have family members that live there in Gilbert, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh and where's that?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, great question.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
So figure it out? Yeah, Google maps?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Uh huh, all right, Nope, nope, A lot of nope
in that newsroom, right, a lot of nope. So people
are moving to Arizona. California is right just west of Arizona.
You can take a straight shot down that ten freeway,
and it sure seems like that's where people are choosing
to go. Of the top five states that Californians are
(05:54):
relocated to, aside from Arizona, they're also Texas, Washington, Floor,
and Nevada. Again, probably not that shocking, but why does
Arizona give people the good feels?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Why are they moving there?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Well, people say those who are moving that there's a
strong economy, especially in tech and healthcare. So if you're
one of those people who are in a tech or
healthcare and you're looking for a job and you're not
finding that success here, then perhaps Arizona might be where
you want to go, and of those moving, of course,
(06:31):
those who are younger tend to be a bit more
on the up and up. That way, millennials and gen
zers account for an overwhelming majority of Californians who are
relocating over the past decade. And here's a very interesting statistics.
It's a bit shocking when you think about it this way,
(06:52):
but I'll tell you, over the last decade, an estimated
six hundred and thirty thousand people have moved from California
to Arizona. Okay, six hundred and thirty thousand. That's a
big number, but we have millions upon millions in this state.
So six hundred and thirty thousand, while significant, not that
much of a blip on the radar. But if you
(07:15):
break it down this way, as Fox LA did, that
averages to about one hundred and seventy three.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
People a day. I don't know about you, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Feeling a deficit of one hundred and seventy three fewer
people in California. I feel like there are one hundred
and seventy three more people, in fact, on the road.
I'll tell you a bit more about what's going on
as far as why people are leaving Arizona, some of
the economical figures, some of the numbers and the numbers game.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Of course, we want to know the money stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'll tell you about that when we come back, and
then we will get into what's going on just down
the freeway a little further into Riverside County. Not a
fun story, and I'll have that for you in a bit.
I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
Tiffany Hobbs here with you.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Tiffany Hobbs here with you.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It's Saturdays with Tiffany from five to seven. Thanks for
hanging out. I was just telling you a bit about
the fact that Californians are leaving. We are losing large
populations of Californians every year, and while that's not necessarily shocking,
we've done quite a few stories about people leaving the
(08:38):
reasons why.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
The new question of where are these people going?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Has arisen and Fox LA did a story about where
these people are going. They found that most Californians are
relocating to the beautiful sunny desert like state of Arizona.
And here's why again, Over six one hundred and thirty
thousand people per year, or somewhere around one hundred and
(09:04):
seventy three people per day are leaving California and moving
to Arizona. And they say that aside from a strong economy,
jobs in tech and healthcare, of course, the ability to
purchase a home is right there at the top of
the list. Not only are forty six percent of new
(09:24):
Arizonians or Arizonans Arizonians I don't know, I don't really
care that much have purchased a home within their first year,
that those homes actually cost an average of about three
hundred thousand dollars less than homes here in California. So
not only are forty six percent of people who move
(09:47):
there able to purchase a home for the first time,
those homes are coming in at hundreds of thousands of
dollars less than right here in California. Why else might
people believing besides the ability to afford a home, besides
the ability to secure a job.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, crime, and California certainly.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Has our fair share more than our fair share of crime,
including crimes that are perpetuated against minors, sadly, California has
quite a few child predators, and this takes us to
our next story. I don't know if you used to
(10:31):
watch that TV show To Catch a Predator, but I did,
and it was a very popular docu series. It was
formed on the basis of catching.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
People in the act.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So there was the station, there was the host who
he himself became a celebrity and notorious for other things.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
His name is Chris Hansen, and the station.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The host paired with a national organization to catch child
predators in the act. They kind of set these They
stage a scene, whether it was in a home or
somewhere else, and they would contact this organization these people.
They would contact adults or have the adults contact them
(11:20):
and engage them in conversation that would undoubtedly turn illegal
because of the low nature, the predatory nature, as these
were adult men interacting with what they thought were juvenile people.
Juveniles children okay, people under the age of eighteen. Well,
these things would capture the ascellance the predators in each episode.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It was riveting television. Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It ended a few years ago and had some controversy,
again with the actual host, but some of the controversy
was because of the question of whether or not this
entire series was based on entrapment, how much litigation could
get involved if in fact, entrapment were at the basis
(12:10):
of this TV show. And it seems that a lot
of these cases, a lot of these scenes and stages
took place right here in California.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
There's that tie in.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And here comes another tie in talking about California and
predators and all of these things. Just last week, a
group of about twenty teenagers in Riverside right over in
Temecula at Nicholas Road Park around four point thirty in
the afternoon, set up their own sting. They did their
(12:46):
own to catch a predator style sting to catch someone
they said was engaging online with one of them, who
of course was a minor. Is a minor, and that
they wanted to this adult male forty six years old
Riverside man named William vanden Bush to a park in
(13:08):
Temecula so that they could then call the police and
have this person arrested.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
That was their intention, and they did it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
About twenty kids had their phones out, caught the police.
They're filming this entire interaction. This man, William vanden Bush,
a resident of Highland, forty six years old, had already
sent nude photos of himself to who he thought was
a girl, a young girl actually one of these young men.
And they caught this guy at a park. Heroes, heroes,
(13:42):
all of them, well done. First of all, we want
to for sure applaud their efforts and their bravery and
their intention to take a child.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Predator off the streets.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
However, while the evidence was overwhelming against this William vanden Bush,
and he was arrested and booked at the koy Bird
Detention Center in Murietta for sending harmful images to a minor.
The Riverside District Attorney has declined to file charges against
(14:16):
William van den Busch. He is not being charged with
the crimes for which he was arrested for which the
crimes these teens were able to catch him in right
there at that park and provide more than enough evidence
that this adult male of forty six years was intending
(14:36):
to engage with a miner in a sexual capacity after
sending nude photos of himself to who he believed was
a miner and was in fact a minor male he
thought he was sending the pictures to a young girl.
He sent them to a guy, and these guys, these teenagers,
caught him. But no, the riverside DA is not going
(14:57):
to press charges. I started to do doing a deep dive. Legally,
I'm no lawyer, although I play one on radio, and
you know, I couldn't get in touch with Bill Handle
to kind of do a handle on the law segment here.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
But in my.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Own excavation of the information of the evidence, I did
find that there were cases, including in Sonoma County, including
in other areas of the United States of America right here,
that aims to protect children in which these predators were
exonerated because of entrapment, because of a lack of evidence
(15:35):
that proves the intent to engage with miners in inappropriate ways.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And it just blew my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I say all of this to say I understand why
people are leaving California and going right over there to Arizona.
Not only again, is it the money issue. Not only
again is it a job's issue, but it likely does
in fact have a lot to do with crime and
our state's ability or inability, depending on how you feel,
(16:04):
to mitigate crimes. And then when you throw in crimes
against children. It just exacerbates the issue even further. After
this news break, after Miss Brigitda Diagasino gives us our
news High Brigitda, We're going to have Alex Stone, friend
of the station, right here on to tell us all
(16:25):
about how we are all going to be infected by
E COLI. Oh no, we're all gonna get it, Regitita, No,
you're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You probably have it already, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And Alex is going to tell you why, oh lord, okay,
And I'll tell you about my own experience. Yeah, And
I think it has something to do with those carrots.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I'm not sure. I'm gonna giving you some teases. It's
not pleasant. Hope you're not eating.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Tiffany Hobbs here with you five to seven. It's Saturdays
with Tiffany. And just last Saturday, I had something happen.
It was highly unpleasant, and I couldn't point a finger
at the why or how or who. I was looking
for something or someone to blame because I was in
(17:18):
absolute agony. I don't know what it was. I when
you have it? Okay, I had a really bad stomach ache.
All right, newsflash, it happens to everybody. But this stomach
ache really took the cake. Okay, so to speak, no
pun intended. It came with really intense cramping, back pain,
(17:43):
abdominal pain. It came with almost flu like symptoms. I
was wondering, did I have the flu?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Is it COVID? You know, you never know nowadays, and
you don't. Again, you don't know where to point the blame.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
But I started backtracking, as did my fiance, who also
started to experience the same thing. Huge red flag. Right,
you look around and he goes it just me. No,
in this case, it was not just me. So the
two of us started backtracking.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
What did we what did we eat something?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And we were able to kind of pin it down
to a couple of places that we had eaten both
at the same time. We were pretty much on the
same eating schedule, had the same meals for about two
days prior.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Okay, we're in sync like that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Unfortunately, because when you're in sync in a good way,
you could also become in sync in this way. He
had all the same symptoms. We started looking at the
ingredients of things we had, and it seems very likely
that we had something akin to a really bad stomach virus.
(18:53):
Now I didn't know of any other stomach viruses going around,
but I kept hearing about E coli, E coli, E coli, this,
E coli, that onions McDonald's. We didn't need a McDonald's,
but we did have things with onions and then carrots,
and we did have food that had carrots.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I don't know, we can't prove it. There wasn't a
test that we took.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
There's no at home tests I believe to my knowledge
that tells you whether or not you have E.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Coli.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But I'd be willing to bet, given the list of symptoms,
that that's what we had.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
And it was horrendous.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
My clothes fit a little better now, but it was
something I do. I do not wish on my worst
well maybe my worst enemy, but I definitely don't wish
it on you.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You lovely people listening, I don't wish it on you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So we have a friend of the station, someone I
admire a lot, someone I'll enjoy listening to. Alex Stone
from ABC, who's here and he's gonna tell us a
bit more about this E Coli story.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Hey Alex, Hey Tiffany.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Well, the problem with this recall and those who have
gotten sick from this outbreak is it's not just one
brand name where you can say this is what you're
looking for. This one company in Bakersfield, headquartered out of Bakersfield,
gross carrots for all kinds of different grocery stores under
their own brand names. So it could be the Ugodam
at Costco or at Sam's Club, or at Vond's or
(20:21):
at Ralph's or at Whole Foods. I mean pretty much
all of the big grocery chains. We're getting their carrots
from this grim Way Farms in Bakersfield. So when you
go to the store, it could be three sixty five
Brand Organics, it could be Bunny Love, it could be
cal Organic. I mean, Jesse goes On and On, Raillys Sprouts,
(20:41):
Trader Joe's. The names were all over of what store
you would go to and then what it would be
called the brand name of those carrots going inside. But
the lawsuits are now being filed. Forty year old Melinda
Pratt she bought some carrots back in September from Sam's Club,
and she says it was horrendous.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
I had a low grade fever and just thought it
was the stomach flue, and it just progressively got worse
each and every day.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
So she's the first one to file a lawsuit. There
no doubt are going to be more. She says, it
got worse and then she had to go to a
hospital and she was hospitalized for a couple of days.
She says it felt like she was just being stabbed
non stop after she ate the carrots. And for some
of these people, it took them a while to figure
out what made them sick. That you don't eat a
(21:30):
carrot or a baby carrot and then think, well it
was that. And she says it was really bad.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
The radiating back pain that came. I couldn't handle this
stomach cramping anymore. It was making me drip.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Sweat, and so as of Friday, the numbers were thirty
nine known cases, fifteen people hospitalized, one person who died.
Somebody was over sixty five here in La County, and
it has been reported in eighteen states. But the carrots
were also shipped, so likely there are other people who
have been impacted by this, and kind of like we
saw with the McDonald's onion outbreak a couple of weeks ago,
(22:08):
though was E Coli as well. Even after they contained that,
the numbers kept going up. And they think this will
be the same thing because now the people are hearing
about it and really understanding it. If they got sick
in late September or early October, even up until now,
that they may not have put two and two together
that the horrendous gastro intestinal pain that they had, that
(22:30):
that was linked to carrots that they had bought at
one of these stores, and then they reported in and
so the numbers may continue going up. Now the carrots
have not been sold for quite a while, but the
baby carrots that are being recalled organic baby carrots had
a best if used by date up until November twelfth,
So the CDC is thinking, you know, carrots don't go
(22:51):
bad that quickly. The people who bought them at Sey
Costco or at Sam's Club where you get two big
bags of them, they may still have them in their
fridge and not completely.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Eating them yet.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Okay, so people could still potentially get sick from this,
even though a lot of these carrots were probably eaten.
I know We apparently bought them, my family did at Costco.
We got an email from Costco this week saying, hey,
heads up, you bought these, you can return them or
throw them away.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Well, we ate them.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
We didn't get sick, So you may get the warning
from Costco or Sam's Club where they can track what
you bought. But at this point, the CDC is warning
those who may still have these to throw them away.
At this point, probably don't even want to return them,
they're that old. Just throw them away and that that
danger is there. And a lot of people did get sick.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Great, great, thank you Alex for that. And he had
to go really quickly. I hope he doesn't have E COLI.
I hope he's okay. B Regina, you were smiling and
laughing through that itself.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
I'm just so disturbed that this keeps happening. And I'm
looking at thinking back to what I took like tons
of little mini bags of carrots to my two year
old's classroom, and then afterwards a lot of them did
get a stomach thing. So now I'm thinking back a
couple of weeks and wondering if I'm the one who
started it. Sheeta, even my daughter kept saying, my time
of years, but she doesn't like carrots, so like she
(24:11):
probably only ate a tiny bit.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And that's what they were saying.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It's what Alex was saying as well, that the finely
ground carrots that are in those bags of salad, who
knows if they were enough to actually.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Cause the E. Coli to take hold essentially in your body.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But there are just so many sources for this thing,
and grim Way Farm seems to have their hand in everything, every.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Regulations because we keep seeing these kinds of stories, what
are regulations and apparently not something that we're going to
see a lot of coming up.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, and again, it started with the whole onion thing.
Was it or was it not?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Was it? This? Was it?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
The meat? Was it the onions? Was it grilled? You
know whatever? All these questions.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Then we kind of ruled out the fact that onions
were done right, that passed essentially, and then now carrots,
and then it's it's what's the next big thing, you know,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
We've got to grow our own little farms, you know.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's definitely a push for that sort of home based
type of stuff, and it's right here at Thanksgiving you know,
I'm just like, this is again bacteria has the worst
possible timing. It couldn't have waited until like a week later,
after everyone has already gathered and we're full of the
food we already have cooked. But no, we're going to
gather around our homes or in our homes with with
(25:33):
you know, groups of people, and expose people to E.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Coli like you did to your kids' school. You're laughing.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
It's just so disturbing and awful. But like when this
kind of thing happens, yet it hurts so bad.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
You are diabolical, and it does hurt so bad. I
had it. It was horrible, Regida.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But again it's better than we govy and a lot cheaper,
I'll say. And again we'll have our expert on to
tell you why we go v And what's the other one?
I can ozimpic think I'm singing the song and think
of the name in my head. Why those are dangerous
and arguably probably as if not more dangerous than ecoli.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
So it's just all a cluster truck of horrible things. Okay,
when we come.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Back, I'll tell you about the pastathon. The KFI pastathon
certainly a place where none of this will happen to you.
It's a wonderful, beautiful palette cleanser, and I'll give you
information all about how you can donate, where you can donate,
little backstory on Caterina's Club and why you should be

best times of year. It's one of my favorite times
(27:12):
of year. It's the time I look forward to. I
love the season of giving. I love the burrs, the
burr months. You're September through December and into our colder months.
And one of the reasons I love this time of
year is because of the KFI pastathon.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It is back.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You heard Tim Conway yesterday out there at Wendy's. You
heard Neil today out there with Bruno Serrato himself, the man,
the myth of the legend, Bruno Serrato. It is KFI
Pasta thon time fourteenth annual. Michelle Cube is really really something.
She makes magic every year right along there with Bruno
(27:54):
Serrato and Caterina's Club and you, you, beautiful listeners of
KFI who donate your pasta, your money, your smiles, your hugs,
your energy, your well wishes to make all of this
coalesce into a wonderful event and again put on by
Chef Bruno's charity, Caterina's Club, which provides more than twenty
(28:18):
five thousand meals every week to kids in need in
southern California. The KFI Pastathon is just is something special
to behold, and your generosity makes it happen. There are
three ways you can get in can get involved. First,
you can donate now at kfiam six forty dot com
(28:42):
backslash Pastathon, and you can make a one time donation
of any denomination. Whatever you can give is something more
than they would have had had you not given it. Okay,
if you give twenty five cents. That's twenty five cents
more that they can add to their pot, so to speak.
But again, you can donate right there at KFI am
(29:02):
sixty dot com backslash pasta than You can also shop
at any Smart and Final store. You can go right
there to Smart and Final. You pick up your turkey,
pick up your pie, whatever it is you're getting. If
you're the person who brings the plates or the soda,
stop at that register, make a donation, donate any amount
(29:23):
at the checkout. Again, anything is better than nothing. You
can do that at any Smart and Final store around
California Southern California.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
You can also head into any Windy's.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Restaurant in Southern California and if you donate five dollars
or more, you'll get a coupon book full of incredible goodies.
You get your frosties, you get your burgers, your fries
in there. They even have coupons for the baked potatoes.
Last year, that was one of the main things I
(29:57):
was looking for. I wanted that coupon book, and luck
would have it. It's one of those things I just
sat in my car somewhere and I forgot about it
and then it expired, but you don't do that.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You don't let it expire.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You use that coupon book after you donate a minimum
of five dollars at any Windy's. And then also hopefully
you can come out and catch all of the KFI hosts,
all of the KFI crew during our all day live
broadcast from the Anaheim White House on Giving Tuesday, December third.
(30:32):
It kicks off at five am with Amy King, and
then you have just the list of all the hosts
from six to nine. You have Handle nine to one,
Gary and Shannon one to four, John Cobo to be
out there four to seven, Tim Conway Junior seven to ten,
Moe Kelly and his whole crew, of which Mark Ronner
is right here now in the news room.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
I just woke up here. I must have stayed the
whole night. Well, you'll be there, Mark right will be
doing the news from here, but my voice will be there.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Oh did you get a chance to go last year?
Or were you here?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
I was there last year? You were you got to
try the food there?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's really you know, I'm going to save up a
little bit so I can put something aside and get
some of that pasta I hear it's amongst the best
Italian food you'll ever get.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I mean, it sounds like I'm blowing smoke because it's
a restaurant and they're supposed to have good food. But
it was so good.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
That's what everyone says.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
They say, you know, you come for Katerina's club and
the pastathan, but you stay.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
You stay for the pasta.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And you need to meet listeners who are generally nice.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
That's nice.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
This might surprise you, but it's fun to meet the people.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It was. You know, I went last year and I
had a ball.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I was brand new to the Kfi family, and a
few people mistook me for other people. Many people thought
I was this person or that person. But all in all,
everyone was very gracious, very kind.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
And you jumped in.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I jumped well, you know what, I kind of did
buy security. They did not know that I was there for.
They thought I was an intruder. Once we got all
that cleared up, everything was good.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Well, there's no icebreaker like getting thrown to the ground
by security.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And I hope that doesn't happen this year. I'd hope
to have a badge of some sort. We'll see, we'll
work on that.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
That don't drop my name no matter what you do.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I plan to do that right to Bruno Serrato himself.
All right, So again weekend hosts will be out there.
I'll be there. Come hang out with us. You can
bring pasta, you can bring sauce, you can bring money,
you can just bring yourself, whatever the case. That's Tuesday
Giving Tuesday, December third, from five am, starting with Amy
King all the way concluding at ten pm at the
(32:37):
end of the later with Mo Kelly Show. Again, just
a little, just a little bit of insight. Not only
does one hundred percent of your donation go straight to
Katerina's Club, but Katerina's Club doesn't just focus on sauce
and pasta and feeding the motel kids around southern California.
They do so many wonderful social services, including providing affordable housing,
(33:03):
assistance and job training to those in need. Chef Bruno
is an angel amongst us. Katerina's Club is named after
Bruno's beloved mother, who originated the vision to feed children
who live in motels in southern California. And now every
year millions of children are fed his wonderful pasta.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
And you can come out and meet Bruno.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yourself as well as all of the KFI hosts and family,
and we look forward to doing that. On Giving Tuesday,
December third, we have a talk back. I think, Raoul,
it's about moving to Arizona. So before you move to Arizona,
you come to Giving Tuesday and Katerina's Club over at
the Anaheim White House and you check us out.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
Tiffany, this is Gary. It's worthwhile to mention that per capita,
there are are other states where people are leading intros
that are higher than California per capita. Also, there are
other states where they're child abductions and sixthly trades higher
(34:16):
than California, such as Arizona.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Oh oh, well, there's a little uh oh, my goodness,
a little what we call even call that not a caveat,
but that's unexpected news.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Thank you for that. I appreciate the insight.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Again, before you flee to Arizona, before you flee to
Texas or Nevada, make sure you get down to the
Anaheim White House on Giving Tuesday, December third, for Caterina's
Club and the KFI fourteenth Annual Pastathon. I look forward
to seeing you when we come back. We will have
Doctor Swathy with us talking about wegovi and ozembic and
(34:55):
the pitfalls and dangers and why you should not be
relying on these pharmaceuticticles to help you with your weight loss.
During this season of Gluttony, KFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (35:10):
App, KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
What's Up everybody?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Tiffany Hobbs here and this is Saturdays with Tiffany. It's
a cold, gray, hauntingly beautiful Saturday. Indeed, I hope you're
doing well. Did you happen to brave the grocery stores today?
Thanksgiving is just next week? Are you one of those
crazy people getting out today trying to get your turkey,
(00:33):
trying to get your ham and all your fixings? Well,
if you are, and if you are now tuning in
to try and decompress, thank you for that. Thanks for
being with me. Time is flying, isn't it. It feels
like it was just October, It was just Halloween. I
think right now we're already in Thanksgiving and Christmas is
(00:53):
just around the corner. There are about fifty days, five
zero days left in twenty twenty four, can you believe it?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's flying by.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And just like you heard a little bit earlier, the
KFI Pastathon is off to a beautiful start. So thanks
for spending one of those remaining fifty days with us
today out there with Neil yesterday with Tim, and I'll
give you more information about the beautiful Kfi pastathon. As
we continue speaking of Thanksgiving, tis the season for binge, eating,
(01:30):
over eating. I'm raising my hand. I am guilty. I'm
one of those people who looks forward to this time
of year so that I can indulge somewhat guilt free.
But of course, with all those assorted meats and sweets
and breads and hopefully some vegetables also on your plate,
new Year's resolutions quickly follow.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes, within this fifty days, not.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Only are we a gluttonist people enjoying all of the
fruit of our labor, but also we are a regretful
people after we.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Do all of that eating.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And undoubtedly, come January first, many people will be faced
with genes that may not fit, perhaps other things that
are not necessarily to your liking.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And there are.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Miracle drugs being touted as there to help you well
with those miracle drugs like ozimpic you might have heard of.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It has a catchy little song, right, oh oh oh, ozimpic.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And we Govy, which itself does not have a catchy
little song, but is right there with ozempic. We have
an expert coming on at six o'clock, top of the
six o'clock hour. She is an integrative health expert. Her
name is doctor Swathy Vera Nasi Diaz, and she's going
to warn us about the pitfalls and dangers of drugs
(02:56):
like ozempic and drugs like we govy, because she says
they should not be the go to for this fast
acting kind of resolution to too much turkey and pie.
So that'd be at the top of the six o'clock hour,
doctor swathyvar Nacidas aka doctor Swathy. And let's say you
(03:16):
can't get your hands on ozempic. Let's just say you
don't have the money, because it is kind of expensive
to get your hands on this miracle drug. Well, the
nationwide E coli outbreak will certainly shave off a few
pounds for you if you should be so unfortunate to
get it. I think I had it, and I'll tell
(03:38):
you a bit about what my experience was.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I'll save you a lot of the details.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And our buddy Alex Stone from ABC will be on
with us right around five point thirty to give us
more information about this E coli outbreak, what it is affecting,
and how you can combat it. So that you don't
end up with E. Coli in your household and definitely
not in your stomach, your gut area. We're going to
get into why a church in Switzerland has started using
(04:05):
an ai Jesus and ai Jesus? You know, what are
we doing? What are we doing here? But first, before
we get into ai Jesus, before we get into we Gov,
before we get into all the other things, we're going to.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Talk about some local stories.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Starting with people are leaving California, and.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's not the surprise.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
If you follow the news, you follow KFI like I
know you do, then you've heard quite a few reasons
to leave. Where are people going?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
In The US Census says that Californians looking to escape
the high cost of living are apparently moving in droves
to Arizona more than anywhere else in the US. The
Bureau estimates that Phoenix has been a popular relocation destination
not only for Californians but all Americans. Between twenty seventeen
(04:58):
and twenty twenty one, one hundred and eighty four thousand
people who relocated to Arizona. During that time frame, about
fifty thousand came from California.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Arizona is pretty beautiful, is it. I've been to Phoenix
and Tucson.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Desert's really nice.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I don't know that i'd want to live there, No, permanently,
but I do have family members that live there in Gilbert, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh and where's that?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, great question.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
So figure it out? Yeah, Google maps?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Uh huh, all right, Nope, nope, A lot of nope
in that newsroom, right, a lot of nope. So people
are moving to Arizona. California is right just west of Arizona.
You can take a straight shot down that ten freeway,
and it sure seems like that's where people are choosing
to go. Of the top five states that Californians are
(05:54):
relocated to, aside from Arizona, they're also Texas, Washington, Floor,
and Nevada. Again, probably not that shocking, but why does
Arizona give people the good feels?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Why are they moving there?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Well, people say those who are moving that there's a
strong economy, especially in tech and healthcare. So if you're
one of those people who are in a tech or
healthcare and you're looking for a job and you're not
finding that success here, then perhaps Arizona might be where
you want to go, and of those moving, of course,
(06:31):
those who are younger tend to be a bit more
on the up and up. That way, millennials and gen
zers account for an overwhelming majority of Californians who are
relocating over the past decade. And here's a very interesting statistics.
It's a bit shocking when you think about it this way,
(06:52):
but I'll tell you, over the last decade, an estimated
six hundred and thirty thousand people have moved from California
to Arizona. Okay, six hundred and thirty thousand. That's a
big number, but we have millions upon millions in this state.
So six hundred and thirty thousand, while significant, not that
much of a blip on the radar. But if you
(07:15):
break it down this way, as Fox LA did, that
averages to about one hundred and seventy three.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
People a day. I don't know about you, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Feeling a deficit of one hundred and seventy three fewer
people in California. I feel like there are one hundred
and seventy three more people, in fact, on the road.
I'll tell you a bit more about what's going on
as far as why people are leaving Arizona, some of
the economical figures, some of the numbers and the numbers game.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Of course, we want to know the money stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'll tell you about that when we come back, and
then we will get into what's going on just down
the freeway a little further into Riverside County. Not a
fun story, and I'll have that for you in a bit.
I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
Tiffany Hobbs here with you.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Tiffany Hobbs here with you.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It's Saturdays with Tiffany from five to seven. Thanks for
hanging out. I was just telling you a bit about
the fact that Californians are leaving. We are losing large
populations of Californians every year, and while that's not necessarily shocking,
we've done quite a few stories about people leaving the
(08:38):
reasons why.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
The new question of where are these people going?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Has arisen and Fox LA did a story about where
these people are going. They found that most Californians are
relocating to the beautiful sunny desert like state of Arizona.
And here's why again, Over six one hundred and thirty
thousand people per year, or somewhere around one hundred and
(09:04):
seventy three people per day are leaving California and moving
to Arizona. And they say that aside from a strong economy,
jobs in tech and healthcare, of course, the ability to
purchase a home is right there at the top of
the list. Not only are forty six percent of new
(09:24):
Arizonians or Arizonans Arizonians I don't know, I don't really
care that much have purchased a home within their first year,
that those homes actually cost an average of about three
hundred thousand dollars less than homes here in California. So
not only are forty six percent of people who move
(09:47):
there able to purchase a home for the first time,
those homes are coming in at hundreds of thousands of
dollars less than right here in California. Why else might
people believing besides the ability to afford a home, besides
the ability to secure a job.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, crime, and California certainly.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Has our fair share more than our fair share of crime,
including crimes that are perpetuated against minors, sadly, California has
quite a few child predators, and this takes us to
our next story. I don't know if you used to
(10:31):
watch that TV show To Catch a Predator, but I did,
and it was a very popular docu series. It was
formed on the basis of catching.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
People in the act.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So there was the station, there was the host who
he himself became a celebrity and notorious for other things.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
His name is Chris Hansen, and the station.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The host paired with a national organization to catch child
predators in the act. They kind of set these They
stage a scene, whether it was in a home or
somewhere else, and they would contact this organization these people.
They would contact adults or have the adults contact them
(11:20):
and engage them in conversation that would undoubtedly turn illegal
because of the low nature, the predatory nature, as these
were adult men interacting with what they thought were juvenile people.
Juveniles children okay, people under the age of eighteen. Well,
these things would capture the ascellance the predators in each episode.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It was riveting television. Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It ended a few years ago and had some controversy,
again with the actual host, but some of the controversy
was because of the question of whether or not this
entire series was based on entrapment, how much litigation could
get involved if in fact, entrapment were at the basis
(12:10):
of this TV show. And it seems that a lot
of these cases, a lot of these scenes and stages
took place right here in California.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
There's that tie in.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And here comes another tie in talking about California and
predators and all of these things. Just last week, a
group of about twenty teenagers in Riverside right over in
Temecula at Nicholas Road Park around four point thirty in
the afternoon, set up their own sting. They did their
(12:46):
own to catch a predator style sting to catch someone
they said was engaging online with one of them, who
of course was a minor. Is a minor, and that
they wanted to this adult male forty six years old
Riverside man named William vanden Bush to a park in
(13:08):
Temecula so that they could then call the police and
have this person arrested.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
That was their intention, and they did it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
About twenty kids had their phones out, caught the police.
They're filming this entire interaction. This man, William vanden Bush,
a resident of Highland, forty six years old, had already
sent nude photos of himself to who he thought was
a girl, a young girl actually one of these young men.
And they caught this guy at a park. Heroes, heroes,
(13:42):
all of them, well done. First of all, we want
to for sure applaud their efforts and their bravery and
their intention to take a child.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Predator off the streets.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
However, while the evidence was overwhelming against this William vanden Bush,
and he was arrested and booked at the koy Bird
Detention Center in Murietta for sending harmful images to a minor.
The Riverside District Attorney has declined to file charges against
(14:16):
William van den Busch. He is not being charged with
the crimes for which he was arrested for which the
crimes these teens were able to catch him in right
there at that park and provide more than enough evidence
that this adult male of forty six years was intending
(14:36):
to engage with a miner in a sexual capacity after
sending nude photos of himself to who he believed was
a miner and was in fact a minor male he
thought he was sending the pictures to a young girl.
He sent them to a guy, and these guys, these teenagers,
caught him. But no, the riverside DA is not going
(14:57):
to press charges. I started to do doing a deep dive. Legally,
I'm no lawyer, although I play one on radio, and
you know, I couldn't get in touch with Bill Handle
to kind of do a handle on the law segment here.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
But in my.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Own excavation of the information of the evidence, I did
find that there were cases, including in Sonoma County, including
in other areas of the United States of America right here,
that aims to protect children in which these predators were
exonerated because of entrapment, because of a lack of evidence
(15:35):
that proves the intent to engage with miners in inappropriate ways.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And it just blew my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I say all of this to say I understand why
people are leaving California and going right over there to Arizona.
Not only again, is it the money issue. Not only
again is it a job's issue, but it likely does
in fact have a lot to do with crime and
our state's ability or inability, depending on how you feel,
(16:04):
to mitigate crimes. And then when you throw in crimes
against children. It just exacerbates the issue even further. After
this news break, after Miss Brigitda Diagasino gives us our
news High Brigitda, We're going to have Alex Stone, friend
of the station, right here on to tell us all
(16:25):
about how we are all going to be infected by
E COLI. Oh no, we're all gonna get it, Regitita, No,
you're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You probably have it already, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And Alex is going to tell you why, oh lord, okay,
And I'll tell you about my own experience. Yeah, And
I think it has something to do with those carrots.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I'm not sure. I'm gonna giving you some teases. It's
not pleasant. Hope you're not eating.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Tiffany Hobbs here with you five to seven. It's Saturdays
with Tiffany. And just last Saturday, I had something happen.
It was highly unpleasant, and I couldn't point a finger
at the why or how or who. I was looking
for something or someone to blame because I was in
(17:18):
absolute agony. I don't know what it was. I when
you have it? Okay, I had a really bad stomach ache.
All right, newsflash, it happens to everybody. But this stomach
ache really took the cake. Okay, so to speak, no
pun intended. It came with really intense cramping, back pain,
(17:43):
abdominal pain. It came with almost flu like symptoms. I
was wondering, did I have the flu?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Is it COVID? You know, you never know nowadays, and
you don't. Again, you don't know where to point the blame.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
But I started backtracking, as did my fiance, who also
started to experience the same thing. Huge red flag. Right,
you look around and he goes it just me. No,
in this case, it was not just me. So the
two of us started backtracking.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
What did we what did we eat something?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And we were able to kind of pin it down
to a couple of places that we had eaten both
at the same time. We were pretty much on the
same eating schedule, had the same meals for about two
days prior.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Okay, we're in sync like that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Unfortunately, because when you're in sync in a good way,
you could also become in sync in this way. He
had all the same symptoms. We started looking at the
ingredients of things we had, and it seems very likely
that we had something akin to a really bad stomach virus.
(18:53):
Now I didn't know of any other stomach viruses going around,
but I kept hearing about E coli, E coli, E coli, this,
E coli, that onions McDonald's. We didn't need a McDonald's,
but we did have things with onions and then carrots,
and we did have food that had carrots.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I don't know, we can't prove it. There wasn't a
test that we took.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
There's no at home tests I believe to my knowledge
that tells you whether or not you have E.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Coli.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But I'd be willing to bet, given the list of symptoms,
that that's what we had.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
And it was horrendous.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
My clothes fit a little better now, but it was
something I do. I do not wish on my worst
well maybe my worst enemy, but I definitely don't wish
it on you.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You lovely people listening, I don't wish it on you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So we have a friend of the station, someone I
admire a lot, someone I'll enjoy listening to. Alex Stone
from ABC, who's here and he's gonna tell us a
bit more about this E Coli story.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Hey Alex, Hey Tiffany.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Well, the problem with this recall and those who have
gotten sick from this outbreak is it's not just one
brand name where you can say this is what you're
looking for. This one company in Bakersfield, headquartered out of Bakersfield,
gross carrots for all kinds of different grocery stores under
their own brand names. So it could be the Ugodam
at Costco or at Sam's Club, or at Vond's or
(20:21):
at Ralph's or at Whole Foods. I mean pretty much
all of the big grocery chains. We're getting their carrots
from this grim Way Farms in Bakersfield. So when you
go to the store, it could be three sixty five
Brand Organics, it could be Bunny Love, it could be
cal Organic. I mean, Jesse goes On and On, Raillys Sprouts,
(20:41):
Trader Joe's. The names were all over of what store
you would go to and then what it would be
called the brand name of those carrots going inside. But
the lawsuits are now being filed. Forty year old Melinda
Pratt she bought some carrots back in September from Sam's Club,
and she says it was horrendous.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
I had a low grade fever and just thought it
was the stomach flue, and it just progressively got worse
each and every day.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
So she's the first one to file a lawsuit. There
no doubt are going to be more. She says, it
got worse and then she had to go to a
hospital and she was hospitalized for a couple of days.
She says it felt like she was just being stabbed
non stop after she ate the carrots. And for some
of these people, it took them a while to figure
out what made them sick. That you don't eat a
(21:30):
carrot or a baby carrot and then think, well it
was that. And she says it was really bad.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
The radiating back pain that came. I couldn't handle this
stomach cramping anymore. It was making me drip.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Sweat, and so as of Friday, the numbers were thirty
nine known cases, fifteen people hospitalized, one person who died.
Somebody was over sixty five here in La County, and
it has been reported in eighteen states. But the carrots
were also shipped, so likely there are other people who
have been impacted by this, and kind of like we
saw with the McDonald's onion outbreak a couple of weeks ago,
(22:08):
though was E Coli as well. Even after they contained that,
the numbers kept going up. And they think this will
be the same thing because now the people are hearing
about it and really understanding it. If they got sick
in late September or early October, even up until now,
that they may not have put two and two together
that the horrendous gastro intestinal pain that they had, that
(22:30):
that was linked to carrots that they had bought at
one of these stores, and then they reported in and
so the numbers may continue going up. Now the carrots
have not been sold for quite a while, but the
baby carrots that are being recalled organic baby carrots had
a best if used by date up until November twelfth,
So the CDC is thinking, you know, carrots don't go
(22:51):
bad that quickly. The people who bought them at Sey
Costco or at Sam's Club where you get two big
bags of them, they may still have them in their
fridge and not completely.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Eating them yet.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Okay, so people could still potentially get sick from this,
even though a lot of these carrots were probably eaten.
I know We apparently bought them, my family did at Costco.
We got an email from Costco this week saying, hey,
heads up, you bought these, you can return them or
throw them away.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Well, we ate them.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
We didn't get sick, So you may get the warning
from Costco or Sam's Club where they can track what
you bought. But at this point, the CDC is warning
those who may still have these to throw them away.
At this point, probably don't even want to return them,
they're that old. Just throw them away and that that
danger is there. And a lot of people did get sick.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Great, great, thank you Alex for that. And he had
to go really quickly. I hope he doesn't have E COLI.
I hope he's okay. B Regina, you were smiling and
laughing through that itself.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
I'm just so disturbed that this keeps happening. And I'm
looking at thinking back to what I took like tons
of little mini bags of carrots to my two year
old's classroom, and then afterwards a lot of them did
get a stomach thing. So now I'm thinking back a
couple of weeks and wondering if I'm the one who
started it. Sheeta, even my daughter kept saying, my time
of years, but she doesn't like carrots, so like she
(24:11):
probably only ate a tiny bit.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And that's what they were saying.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It's what Alex was saying as well, that the finely
ground carrots that are in those bags of salad, who
knows if they were enough to actually.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Cause the E. Coli to take hold essentially in your body.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But there are just so many sources for this thing,
and grim Way Farm seems to have their hand in everything, every.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Regulations because we keep seeing these kinds of stories, what
are regulations and apparently not something that we're going to
see a lot of coming up.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, and again, it started with the whole onion thing.
Was it or was it not?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Was it? This? Was it?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
The meat? Was it the onions? Was it grilled? You
know whatever? All these questions.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Then we kind of ruled out the fact that onions
were done right, that passed essentially, and then now carrots,
and then it's it's what's the next big thing, you know,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
We've got to grow our own little farms, you know.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's definitely a push for that sort of home based
type of stuff, and it's right here at Thanksgiving you know,
I'm just like, this is again bacteria has the worst
possible timing. It couldn't have waited until like a week later,
after everyone has already gathered and we're full of the
food we already have cooked. But no, we're going to
gather around our homes or in our homes with with
(25:33):
you know, groups of people, and expose people to E.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Coli like you did to your kids' school. You're laughing.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
It's just so disturbing and awful. But like when this
kind of thing happens, yet it hurts so bad.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
You are diabolical, and it does hurt so bad. I
had it. It was horrible, Regida.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But again it's better than we govy and a lot cheaper,
I'll say. And again we'll have our expert on to
tell you why we go v And what's the other one?
I can ozimpic think I'm singing the song and think
of the name in my head. Why those are dangerous
and arguably probably as if not more dangerous than ecoli.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
So it's just all a cluster truck of horrible things. Okay,
when we come.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Back, I'll tell you about the pastathon. The KFI pastathon
certainly a place where none of this will happen to you.
It's a wonderful, beautiful palette cleanser, and I'll give you
information all about how you can donate, where you can donate,
little backstory on Caterina's Club and why you should be
with us live in studio, Live in studio on giving Tuesday,
(26:40):
December third, KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the

just telling you about a beautiful palette cleanser, something needed
after such sordid stories plaguing the Southland. No, this one
is not sortid. This is This is one of the
best times of year. It's one of my favorite times
(27:12):
of year. It's the time I look forward to. I
love the season of giving. I love the burrs, the
burr months. You're September through December and into our colder months.
And one of the reasons I love this time of
year is because of the KFI pastathon.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It is back.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You heard Tim Conway yesterday out there at Wendy's. You
heard Neil today out there with Bruno Serrato himself, the man,
the myth of the legend, Bruno Serrato. It is KFI
Pasta thon time fourteenth annual. Michelle Cube is really really something.
She makes magic every year right along there with Bruno
(27:54):
Serrato and Caterina's Club and you, you, beautiful listeners of
KFI who donate your pasta, your money, your smiles, your hugs,
your energy, your well wishes to make all of this
coalesce into a wonderful event and again put on by
Chef Bruno's charity, Caterina's Club, which provides more than twenty
(28:18):
five thousand meals every week to kids in need in
southern California. The KFI Pastathon is just is something special
to behold, and your generosity makes it happen. There are
three ways you can get in can get involved. First,
you can donate now at kfiam six forty dot com
(28:42):
backslash Pastathon, and you can make a one time donation
of any denomination. Whatever you can give is something more
than they would have had had you not given it. Okay,
if you give twenty five cents. That's twenty five cents
more that they can add to their pot, so to speak.
But again, you can donate right there at KFI am
(29:02):
sixty dot com backslash pasta than You can also shop
at any Smart and Final store. You can go right
there to Smart and Final. You pick up your turkey,
pick up your pie, whatever it is you're getting. If
you're the person who brings the plates or the soda,
stop at that register, make a donation, donate any amount
(29:23):
at the checkout. Again, anything is better than nothing. You
can do that at any Smart and Final store around
California Southern California.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
You can also head into any Windy's.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Restaurant in Southern California and if you donate five dollars
or more, you'll get a coupon book full of incredible goodies.
You get your frosties, you get your burgers, your fries
in there. They even have coupons for the baked potatoes.
Last year, that was one of the main things I
(29:57):
was looking for. I wanted that coupon book, and luck
would have it. It's one of those things I just
sat in my car somewhere and I forgot about it
and then it expired, but you don't do that.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You don't let it expire.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You use that coupon book after you donate a minimum
of five dollars at any Windy's. And then also hopefully
you can come out and catch all of the KFI hosts,
all of the KFI crew during our all day live
broadcast from the Anaheim White House on Giving Tuesday, December third.
(30:32):
It kicks off at five am with Amy King, and
then you have just the list of all the hosts
from six to nine. You have Handle nine to one,
Gary and Shannon one to four, John Cobo to be
out there four to seven, Tim Conway Junior seven to ten,
Moe Kelly and his whole crew, of which Mark Ronner
is right here now in the news room.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
I just woke up here. I must have stayed the
whole night. Well, you'll be there, Mark right will be
doing the news from here, but my voice will be there.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Oh did you get a chance to go last year?
Or were you here?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
I was there last year? You were you got to
try the food there?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's really you know, I'm going to save up a
little bit so I can put something aside and get
some of that pasta I hear it's amongst the best
Italian food you'll ever get.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I mean, it sounds like I'm blowing smoke because it's
a restaurant and they're supposed to have good food. But
it was so good.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
That's what everyone says.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
They say, you know, you come for Katerina's club and
the pastathan, but you stay.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
You stay for the pasta.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And you need to meet listeners who are generally nice.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
That's nice.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
This might surprise you, but it's fun to meet the people.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It was. You know, I went last year and I
had a ball.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I was brand new to the Kfi family, and a
few people mistook me for other people. Many people thought
I was this person or that person. But all in all,
everyone was very gracious, very kind.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
And you jumped in.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I jumped well, you know what, I kind of did
buy security. They did not know that I was there for.
They thought I was an intruder. Once we got all
that cleared up, everything was good.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Well, there's no icebreaker like getting thrown to the ground
by security.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And I hope that doesn't happen this year. I'd hope
to have a badge of some sort. We'll see, we'll
work on that.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
That don't drop my name no matter what you do.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I plan to do that right to Bruno Serrato himself.
All right, So again weekend hosts will be out there.
I'll be there. Come hang out with us. You can
bring pasta, you can bring sauce, you can bring money,
you can just bring yourself, whatever the case. That's Tuesday
Giving Tuesday, December third, from five am, starting with Amy
King all the way concluding at ten pm at the
(32:37):
end of the later with Mo Kelly Show. Again, just
a little, just a little bit of insight. Not only
does one hundred percent of your donation go straight to
Katerina's Club, but Katerina's Club doesn't just focus on sauce
and pasta and feeding the motel kids around southern California.
They do so many wonderful social services, including providing affordable housing,
(33:03):
assistance and job training to those in need. Chef Bruno
is an angel amongst us. Katerina's Club is named after
Bruno's beloved mother, who originated the vision to feed children
who live in motels in southern California. And now every
year millions of children are fed his wonderful pasta.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
And you can come out and meet Bruno.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yourself as well as all of the KFI hosts and family,
and we look forward to doing that. On Giving Tuesday,
December third, we have a talk back. I think, Raoul,
it's about moving to Arizona. So before you move to Arizona,
you come to Giving Tuesday and Katerina's Club over at
the Anaheim White House and you check us out.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
Tiffany, this is Gary. It's worthwhile to mention that per capita,
there are are other states where people are leading intros
that are higher than California per capita. Also, there are
other states where they're child abductions and sixthly trades higher
(34:16):
than California, such as Arizona.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Oh oh, well, there's a little uh oh, my goodness,
a little what we call even call that not a caveat,
but that's unexpected news.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Thank you for that. I appreciate the insight.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Again, before you flee to Arizona, before you flee to
Texas or Nevada, make sure you get down to the
Anaheim White House on Giving Tuesday, December third, for Caterina's
Club and the KFI fourteenth Annual Pastathon. I look forward
to seeing you when we come back. We will have
Doctor Swathy with us talking about wegovi and ozembic and
(34:55):
the pitfalls and dangers and why you should not be
relying on these pharmaceuticticles to help you with your weight loss.
