Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Tiffany Hobbs here till seven. It's Saturdays with Tiffany Saturdays.
A rainy Saturday with Tiffany, A rainy Saturday with you. Yeah,
as you heard Neil, the water is falling from the sky.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's no surprise.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You can look out and we all can be amateur
meteorologists if you like, at this point, because we all
can see exactly what's going on. And it's a mess
out there. Oh it's a mess. If you can stay home,
stay home. This is one of those perfect days and
evenings to just weekends at this point, to just stay inside,
(00:44):
hunkered down. You know, this region of southern California can't
handle rain. I was on the freeway. Mistake, I was driving. Mistake,
Stay home, safer at home.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
People. Yeah, just they can't. They cannot drive.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
They they're struggling to remember the basic of rules. So
it's not a pretty site out there. But we need
the rain, and we say that all the time, but
we do.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We do.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And of course there are areas that don't want the
rain right now. Those are those burned scar areas in Altadena,
Pasadena and the Palisades and throughout Malibu as well, and
luckily as of now, there's not much to report. There
have been mud slides in the mountains. The evacuation warnings
(01:37):
are still in effect as the rain is ongoing, but
the flash flood warnings have ended in La County. But
mudslides and rock slides are still absolutely a major concern.
So I'm looking at Channel five KTLA right now and
there's a mud and debris flow in Oak Glen that
(01:57):
they're showing from a little bit earlier that you know,
you get.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Caught in one of those things. Don't try and cross
this with your car. You don't have the car.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You think you can move your car across this, It's
not gonna work. Today's not the day to try and
figure out how powerful your tires are or how much
water your vehicle can sustain.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Don't do it. Don't do it. Just stay home.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
South Pasadena has sinkhole warnings, so the roads are also
opening up. You want to be wary of that as well.
It's raining. It's raining, and this is one of the
major storms, if not the biggest storm thus far.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I believe this year, this late autumn.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Storm going into the winter months and I imagine there's
more to come. This is an atmospheric river and with
that it brings a lot of rain, and rain is
in the forecast until about Tuesday, so this is something
you need to get used to. Trees are falling onto cars.
I'm looking at Channel two. There's a tree that fell
(02:59):
on to a car, and Van Eye is a tree
that fell onto a car in Culver City. There are
trees falling all over the place. Don't park beneath trees.
There's flooding on the seven ten freeway in Long Beach.
There's just it. It is what it is, unfortunately, and
we'll keep you up to date on all things weather
related as we continue to track this storm as it
(03:22):
moves across southern California. One way in which we're affected
right here in the studio, and I don't know if
it's because of the rain, but I think it's highly
convenient that the elevators aren't working. And I was told
they will go down, but you cannot ride them up,
which then for me translates to don't ride them at all,
(03:44):
because if only one direction is working, it's probably not
the best idea to try and test your fate. So
all of us have been taking to the stairwells and
we've had some funny little stories about that. I posted
some information, some funny little quips about the stairwell adventures
on my Instagram at tiff hobbs On here, so you
can check that out and see I got to the
(04:06):
top of a stairwell and something happened. You're going to
have to go to my Instagram to see at tiff
hobbs On here. So rain in Southern California have a
lot of other stories happening in Southern California. After five twenty,
we're going to talk about Wai Moo launching their highway,
(04:26):
their freeway program. Weimo these driver list taxi vehicles have
been all around southern California.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
We've seen them, you've seen them, you might have ridden one.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I have. But today, conveniently is the day when they
are launching their freeway program. You're able to ride in
a way MO on the freeway starting today. Probably not
the best idea, but if you are going to be brave,
if you're doing that, if you've done it, please let
us know. Please let I wish you well. I don't
(04:58):
want Darwinism to take effect. Please let us know what
that's like way most starting that today, LA is reforming
rent control for the first.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Time in forty years.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
That is music to a lot of ears for renters,
but it is a major pain. It is to a
major chagrin of those who are landlords. There's a lot
involved in this story, and we're going to talk about
that after five thirty.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
At five point fifty, there's.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A lawsuit against a major airline that says their window
seats that they promise are not actually window seats, and
the lawsuit is made up of people who are upset
that they booked these window seats and find themselves staring
at the side of the plane. We'll talk about that
(05:48):
after five thirty. At six oh five, we're going to
get into our deeper dive segment. Changing eye color is
a possibility. There's a surgery that's gaining in popularity for
you to change your eye color. Yeah, you can go
from brown to blue, or gray, purple, or pretty much
anything on the color spectrum. Some say there are major
(06:10):
rewards for this surgery, and doctors are saying optometrists are saying,
don't do it, major risks, not worth it. We'll talk
about that after six o'clock in our deeper dive segment,
and we'll also get into unusual cosmetic surgeries.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
At six thirty five.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
We're gonna get into our Scammer's Gonna Scam segment. There's
a poor man here in the Southland who's had his
image used for well over fifteen years. His photo has
been floating around the Internet and people are claiming to
be him to get dates.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
He's upset. It's a scam. We're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Then at six point fifty, we're gonna talk about what
you would do if your HouseGuest, someone staying in your
home was secretly using your perfume. What are you gonna
do if they're secretly using your perfume or your cologne.
It happened, it went viral, and that's our viral Load
segment to end the show. Also, the college football coach
(07:10):
famed college football coach John Beam from Last Chance You
on Netflix has in fact died after being shot.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
He came to prominence on.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The show on that series, but he's been a beloved
coach for decades for many people, many students of the craft,
athletes who have learned under him, and he unfortunately was
killed and what police are calling a targeted attack, with
the twenty seven year old suspect being arrested yesterday Friday,
Rest in peace to John Beam, Oakland's former football coach, celebrated.
(07:48):
When we come back, we're going to get into a
rundown of some more news that we're watching, and then
we're going to get into this weai moo, this WEAIMO
program launching today on one of the rainiest day in
the year. I don't think you should write it. You
might want to. I'll give you the details in case
you would like to do so. On the other side
(08:09):
of the break, it's Saturday's with Tiffany.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Demand, Tiffany Hobbs here on this rainy, rainy, rainy Saturday evening,
and it will continue to rain. It's going to rain tomorrow.
Look outside, you can see it if it's falling from
the sky. It's raining. Take precautions, be careful, drive safely,
stay home if you can. Quick rundown of some stories
that we're watching, some really big stories in the news
(08:38):
right now. And if you're like me, information that you
have learned against your will, information this week that you
didn't ask for, but you got. But first, some good news,
as the longest government shut down in history has ended
after forty three days, the US government is working quickly
(08:58):
to get full snow app benefits two millions of people.
It's forty two million people in fact, five million in California,
and they're saying the government saying that it can take
up to a week for many of those people to
receive the aid that.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Has been delayed.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And while some states have already issued full snap benefits,
California being on that list, with many people receiving their
full benefits, but not all.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Some are still waiting.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
There are about two thirds of states that only issued
partial benefits or none at all, So that is continuing
to unfold. But as you know, the government shutdown is over,
the longest in history. Then when it comes to information
you didn't want to know, or maybe you did, and
maybe you didn't know. All the details of President Trump
(09:49):
was mentioned in emails from Jeffrey Epstein as Congress took
two unveiling thousands of files, and there are a few
take away from these newly released Epstein emails, including the
fact that many of the emails that the convicted sex offender.
(10:10):
Epstein sent to his rich or influential friends or reporters
included lots of salacious information or at least inclination that
the Trump administration is refuting completely. They are saying that
this information was cherry picked out of context in an
(10:34):
effort to make President Trump look bad. But Democrats on
the House Oversight Committee released three emails initially where Epstein
mentioned President Trump. So these emails are causing a lot
of interest and a lot of head scratching. No one
(10:55):
really knows what to make of them just yet, but
they are floating out there, and i'm will continue to
be a high source of interest in conversation for the weeks,
if not months to come. Let's get into some Weymo
news quickly. Weimo, the autonomous ride hailing company, has announced
that it will begin offering rides on freeways for customers
(11:16):
in Phoenix, San Francisco, and right here in Los Angeles
starting today.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
All right, starting tonight, Waimo, Google's self driving taxis will
hit the freeways for the first time.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
It's part of a service expansion that the company says it's.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Ready, But our riders, that's the big question. NBC four
is mccallumya jumped into a Weimo to find out. We're
here at.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
USC waiting for our way More ride. They're not going
to hit the freeways just yet. That'll be around seven
o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh, there's our right now.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Okay, we're going to sear it is. One is right
now at the convention center to talk to riders using
this thing on the freeway. Now, this Waimo just took
us through the surface streets from USC to downtown Los Angeles.
Yup there you can see absolutely no driver behind the
lay or right at the convention center. We're gonna talk
to folks sounds and see what they think about Waimo
(12:06):
on the highway.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Kind of scary.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I would hope that they have like all the technology
in order.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I think it'll be interesting. Yeah, yeah, I Stallworth, a
Waimo user. She says she's ready for these rivals taxis
on the freeway. She's been using them on the roads,
and she says she feels safe. The service on freeways
will kick off at seven o'clock tonight, not just here
in LA but also the Bay Area as well as Phoenix.
The company saying impart in the statement that introducing freeways
is built on real world performance and millions of miles
(12:33):
logged on freeways. Skillfully handling highway dynamics with our employees
as well as guests, I guess they got.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
It the technology down. I mean, the Tesla's are already
doing it, so she'd be. I don't know if I
do it myself.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
But drivers like your own Dyson, are intrigued but also
a little skeptical.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I don't know if they have can move out of
the way fast enough if someone like swerves into the lane,
or if a person you know, jumps out in the freeway.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Others say, LA streets are one thing, but highways and
freeways will there's something.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Especially during rush hour you have life. Yeah no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
LA streets and freeways are something else all together. They're
it's own, They're their own unique beast. And I don't
know if Weimo is ready to tame that just yet,
especially when you take into account the mini mistakes WEIMO
makes on surface streets and then to put that on
freeways and during inclement weather like we're having today or
(13:27):
even the best of weather, skepticism, skepticism, and in the past,
Waimo's have typically avoided highways, and now weimo's saying, after
years of testing, years, I don't see that testing as
necessarily being successful.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But they do, which.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Includes public highways with employees driving on closed courses and
in virtual simulations. WEIMO says, it's ready, it's ready to
start offering those highway trips to you. And again it
starts tonight at seven, so you have an hour and
a half to get out there and hail away, mow
and make sure all of your affairs are in order
(14:07):
if you do, because I just skepticism. I'm not sure
safer at home for sure. Speaking about home, when we
come back, we're going to talk about how your rent
may be seeing a stabilization when it comes to just
how much you're paying year after year, as LA has
(14:28):
now reformed rent control for the first time in forty years.
We're going to get into the details and why some
people are not happy about this situation. On the other
side of the break, it's Saturdays with Tiffany. I'm Tiffany
Hobbs here till seven.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Tiffany Hobbs here.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It's raining, it's still raining, and as you heard there,
there have been some special alerts issued specifically for the
areas in and around ox Now, So if you're out
that way and you're experiencing heavy rainfall, please hit the
talk back feature on the iHeart app. Let us know
what the weather. We know what the weather looks like,
(15:12):
but let us know what it feels like to you.
And if there is anything that maybe the weather alert
system may have missed because you're there, you're on the ground,
hopefully not on the ground, hopefully somewhere safe, but you're there,
let us know and make sure that you keep it
right here for updates on the rain throughout the night,
throughout the rest of the weekend, as we continue to
(15:33):
manage this storm, this heavy, heavy, heavy downpour. What is
it called? What is an atmospheric river is what it's called.
And I always picture literally a river above my head,
and I don't think that's what it's supposed to look like.
But I'm no meteorologists, although I play one on radio.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
To peg A canyon is still closed.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Naples Lane and Long Beach flooded and it's still draining,
draining slowly. It's still really flooded out there on Naples Lane.
In Long Beach and there's video on Channel seven of
people kayaking down the street. So lots and lots of
footage coming in about this weather. If you have anything
(16:14):
you want to share, let us know on the talk
back feature. And again I said, the iheartbuilding right here
is itself a victim of this crazy storm. Storm Watch
twenty twenty five. Our elevators don't work. And while we
can't necessarily point the finger at the rain necessarily, but
we can surmise that maybe the weather has something to
(16:37):
do with it. And at any rate, we all have
been forced to take the stairs. Horrible first world problems. Now.
I posted on my Instagram at tiff hobbs On here
my own exploits with stair travel today up to the
studio floor and thankfully Kayla was there to rescue me.
(16:57):
And you'll see the video if you If you do
go on my instagram at tif hobbs On here as
to why I actually needed rescue. So I'll still give
you some time to check that out. Maybe after six
I'll tell you what happened. I'll give you some time
to go and see for yourself on Instagram at tif
hobbs On here.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
If you're a renter in LA.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You know, it's one of the most expensive places to rent.
I think next to New York, maybe Seattle, maybe Hawaii.
Rent in LA is extremely high and one of the
things that keeps rent high is that annually there are
rental hikes. There are rent hikes where legally rent is
(17:42):
not supposed to go up past a certain percentage, but
it does happen, and often it happens illegally to tenants
who don't know their rights, don't know that these things
aren't supposed to happen and what they can fight against.
But in this case, LA has decided that they are
going to, through the city council, reform rent control for
(18:05):
what amounts to the first time in forty entire years.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Here's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Under these new reforms, which were approved by the majority
of LA City Council members, rental hikes would be capped
at four percent four percent. That means it cannot be
a ten percent hike. Do the math there. It has
to stay at four percent or below. And that's even
(18:34):
if inflation in the overall economy runs higher. So even
if the economy is doing poorly, even if prices are
spiking everywhere else. LA City Council has decided that renters
within LA will not see annual rental increases beyond four
percent now. It took more than two years of discussion
(18:57):
and debate amongst LA City Council, but on Wednesday, they
voted to significantly lower those annual rent increases in most
of the city's apartments. LA's current rent control rules, because
there are rent control rules, guarantee that landlords have the
right to raise rents at least three percent every year.
(19:23):
At least three percent every year, increases can go as
high as ten percent in some apartments during periods of inflation.
If you've ever been a renter, you know that when
it's time to renew your lease, if you stay, you're
faced with the possibility that your rent may increase. Sometimes
(19:45):
you're lucky it's practically pennies on the dollar, and at
other times you see significant increases that don't seem to
match with what you expected. I'm a renter, no shame
in that for me. Enjoy renting. I love my place,
and last rental increase or last resigning of my lease,
(20:07):
my rent was raised about one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
If I were to just round it up.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Now for me, I can absorb that increase, But what
of those people who are on fixed incomes or are
perhaps not necessarily able to pay for something like that.
And people will say, well, just move. It ain't that easy.
It ain't that easy, especially if you've been there for
a while. But now LA will cap that rental increase
(20:36):
at four percent.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
No more.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Will it be at least three percent, up to ten
percent and sometimes higher. No, landlords will not be able
to go past four percent. Now there is an additional
two percent increase for landlords who cover utilities, and the
exact rate each year would be equal to about ninety
(21:00):
percent of the change in the region's consumer price index,
which measures economic inflation. Nidia Raman, who's chair of the
City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee, said we need.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
To make a change to this formula.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
She went on to say that extraordinary rent increases are
driving people out of the city, and of course landlords
are none too pleased with this. They're saying, what about us,
Will there be assistance? Will there be subsidies for these changes?
And landlord groups are clamoring together to try and figure
(21:37):
out how to mitigate skyrocketing insurance premiums, steeper maintenance costs.
All of those things included are leading to a lot
of dissent between renters and these landlord groups. But as
of right now, this rent control applies and it will
go into effectiate I.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Think it's immediately here.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So if you're a renter and you plan to stay,
you plan to renew, that's good news on the forefront
for you. It's capped at four percent, no longer can
it exceed four percent up to ten percent. When we
come back, we are going to talk about this lawsuit
against United Airlines. People are suing because they say they're
(22:26):
purchasing window seats and not getting window seats, that it's
all a scam. This could be an our Scammer's gonna
scam segment, but it's not. We're going to talk about
everything involved in this lawsuit and why if you buy
a window seat you need to make sure it's actually
a window seat. On the other side of the break
it Saturdays with Tiffany here until seven on this rainy, rainy,
(22:47):
rainy Saturday.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Tiffany Hobbs here still backing this storm. Storm Watch twenty
twenty five. It's late autumn storm or late fall whatever.
This is autumn autimal have you what do you say,
autumn late harvest fall?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Thank you. That's probably the easiest wine of all.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I'm going with the more complicated, but we're still absolutely
tracking it. There is flooding. Roads are flooded. There are sinkholes.
The freeways have flooding. Definitely along that southbound fifty seven
in Diamond Bar. Be careful, the fifty seven south to
pang A Canyon that still has stretches closed.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Be careful. It's raining. We have a talk back.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We have a talkback from Kevin, who wanted to check
in with us on this rainy Saturday.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Hi, Tiffany, Kevin. I live in Hawthorne, Nevada, but I
grew up in Highland Park, right next to the past
Gena Freeway Avenue fifty six, having you fifty seven. I
have been catching your show lately for one reason or
another after mister Savedra. Anyway, just want to tell you
(24:08):
I really enjoy it and keep up the good work. Alrighty,
take care, stay dry.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
So sweet, Kayla, you just came back from a trip.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yes, I did, I just got back to the country.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You were on a plane. I was on a couple
you went you were flying boy or your arm's tired. No,
you were on a highlight. What seat do you choose
when you book a plane? What's your preference. I'm a
window girly. You're a window girly. Yeah, why because you
can you can like kind of lean on the window
and sleep. Yes, and you can't do that in the
middle or the aisle.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
True.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Do you like to look out the window?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Of course, take out and land in and you know
the views in between the gets sick.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
It's a flight going a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'm a window person as well, window girly. As you said,
I love the window seat. I always booked the window seat.
I have noticed it has happened to me before that
when I I've booked the window seat, my seat is
in between kind of two windows, and I have a
window kind of kind of diagonally behind me that I
(25:09):
can kind of lean back and look out of, and
then I have a window kind of diagonally in front
of me that kind.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Of is the passenger in front of me's window.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But the window that should be right next to me
is more or less a wall and I can't see
out unless I lean forward or lean back. I definitely
had that on my flight this time round you did
this time this time?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Okay, Well you if you fly and you want to
involve yourself in a lawsuit, I don't know what airline
you flew, what airline were you on? It was a banner, Cupola, Coppola.
It was like a foreign one because I was going
out of the country, like CheapTickets dot com.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
You are ready, Hey, it's I'm not. Yeah, I'm right
with you.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Well, in this case, if you want to spring a
little bit more and you want to get tickets with
United or Delta, if you have tried to purchase a
window seat and you found that you were staring at
the inside of the cabin wall. Passengers have filed a
class action lawsuit against both airlines again United in Delta,
(26:08):
after they say some of the seats on Boeing seven
thirty seven, seven fifty seven and Airbus A three twenty
one planes that were labeled as window seats had no
actual windows, a detail they claim was not disclosed during booking. Now,
the attorney Carter Greenbaum, who's representing the plaintiffs against United
(26:32):
and Delta. Toyed Toyd told Reuters that United's position was
contrary to the reasonable expectations of countless passengers who unknowingly
paid extra money for windowless window seats. Consumers deserve better
than empty promises, and United's word games sasy sasy well. Also,
(26:57):
there's a filing that came in on Monday and Sat
Francisco Federal Court, and United argued that it never contractually
guaranteed that window seats would in fact provide a window view,
and that despite labeling them as such on booking screens
and boarding passes, the word window identifies the position of
(27:22):
the seat, i e. Next To the wall of the
main body of the aircraft and does not necessarily mean
that you'll have an exterior window view. The dirty dirtiness
of United and Delta in this case. They say book
a window seat, it means you're sitting against the wall.
(27:46):
Sounds like wording that is intentionally confusing, intentionally misleading, But
that's their counter suit. They're alleging they never promised a view.
Even though a window doesn't promise a view, it's by
definition a gateway to a view.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
But that's not what they're saying. You're paying for.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You're paying for being next to the wall of the
main body of the aircraft, and you're lucky if that
lines up with an actual view outside. Now, these these
passengers who are suing are are definitely suing for quite
a bit of money, and the lawsuits seek millions in
(28:30):
damages on behalf of over one million passengers per airline.
That's United and Delta, So these are multiple millions that
they're seeking for one million over one million passengers, which
will amount to like three dollars per person when the
lawsuit actually shakes down, but hopefully, hey, it's worth it.
(28:53):
When I book a windows seat, I want a window seat.
I don't want someone playing games. I also don't want
to come into contact with someone who is telling me
that their eye color is natural, but in fact it
was purchased through a surgery, and that this is now
a very easy and logical way to not only change
(29:17):
your appearance.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But to dupe people. This is a new.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Surgery, and in our deeper dive segment coming up, we're
going to investigate how you can change your eye color.
But it doesn't come without risks. Even though the recipients
say change their lives for the better in some cases.
And we're going to look at some very unusual surgeries
that if you have the money you can spring for
(29:42):
you might want to make elf ears. That's the thing,
and i'll tell you about more on the other side.
Tiffany Hobbs here till seven
Speaker 1 (29:50):
KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Tiffany Hobbs here till seven. It's Saturdays with Tiffany Saturdays.
A rainy Saturday with Tiffany, A rainy Saturday with you. Yeah,
as you heard Neil, the water is falling from the sky.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's no surprise.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You can look out and we all can be amateur
meteorologists if you like, at this point, because we all
can see exactly what's going on. And it's a mess
out there. Oh it's a mess. If you can stay home,
stay home. This is one of those perfect days and
evenings to just weekends at this point, to just stay inside,
(00:44):
hunkered down. You know, this region of southern California can't
handle rain. I was on the freeway. Mistake, I was driving. Mistake,
Stay home, safer at home.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
People. Yeah, just they can't. They cannot drive.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
They they're struggling to remember the basic of rules. So
it's not a pretty site out there. But we need
the rain, and we say that all the time, but
we do.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We do.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And of course there are areas that don't want the
rain right now. Those are those burned scar areas in Altadena,
Pasadena and the Palisades and throughout Malibu as well, and
luckily as of now, there's not much to report. There
have been mud slides in the mountains. The evacuation warnings
(01:37):
are still in effect as the rain is ongoing, but
the flash flood warnings have ended in La County. But
mudslides and rock slides are still absolutely a major concern.
So I'm looking at Channel five KTLA right now and
there's a mud and debris flow in Oak Glen that
(01:57):
they're showing from a little bit earlier that you know,
you get.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Caught in one of those things. Don't try and cross
this with your car. You don't have the car.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You think you can move your car across this, It's
not gonna work. Today's not the day to try and
figure out how powerful your tires are or how much
water your vehicle can sustain.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Don't do it. Don't do it. Just stay home.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
South Pasadena has sinkhole warnings, so the roads are also
opening up. You want to be wary of that as well.
It's raining. It's raining, and this is one of the
major storms, if not the biggest storm thus far.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I believe this year, this late autumn.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Storm going into the winter months and I imagine there's
more to come. This is an atmospheric river and with
that it brings a lot of rain, and rain is
in the forecast until about Tuesday, so this is something
you need to get used to. Trees are falling onto cars.
I'm looking at Channel two. There's a tree that fell
(02:59):
on to a car, and Van Eye is a tree
that fell onto a car in Culver City. There are
trees falling all over the place. Don't park beneath trees.
There's flooding on the seven ten freeway in Long Beach.
There's just it. It is what it is, unfortunately, and
we'll keep you up to date on all things weather
related as we continue to track this storm as it
(03:22):
moves across southern California. One way in which we're affected
right here in the studio, and I don't know if
it's because of the rain, but I think it's highly
convenient that the elevators aren't working. And I was told
they will go down, but you cannot ride them up,
which then for me translates to don't ride them at all,
(03:44):
because if only one direction is working, it's probably not
the best idea to try and test your fate. So
all of us have been taking to the stairwells and
we've had some funny little stories about that. I posted
some information, some funny little quips about the stairwell adventures
on my Instagram at tiff hobbs On here, so you
can check that out and see I got to the
(04:06):
top of a stairwell and something happened. You're going to
have to go to my Instagram to see at tiff
hobbs On here. So rain in Southern California have a
lot of other stories happening in Southern California. After five twenty,
we're going to talk about Wai Moo launching their highway,
(04:26):
their freeway program. Weimo these driver list taxi vehicles have
been all around southern California.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
We've seen them, you've seen them, you might have ridden one.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I have. But today, conveniently is the day when they
are launching their freeway program. You're able to ride in
a way MO on the freeway starting today. Probably not
the best idea, but if you are going to be brave,
if you're doing that, if you've done it, please let
us know. Please let I wish you well. I don't
(04:58):
want Darwinism to take effect. Please let us know what
that's like way most starting that today, LA is reforming
rent control for the first.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Time in forty years.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
That is music to a lot of ears for renters,
but it is a major pain. It is to a
major chagrin of those who are landlords. There's a lot
involved in this story, and we're going to talk about
that after five thirty.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
At five point fifty, there's.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A lawsuit against a major airline that says their window
seats that they promise are not actually window seats, and
the lawsuit is made up of people who are upset
that they booked these window seats and find themselves staring
at the side of the plane. We'll talk about that
(05:48):
after five thirty. At six oh five, we're going to
get into our deeper dive segment. Changing eye color is
a possibility. There's a surgery that's gaining in popularity for
you to change your eye color. Yeah, you can go
from brown to blue, or gray, purple, or pretty much
anything on the color spectrum. Some say there are major
(06:10):
rewards for this surgery, and doctors are saying optometrists are saying,
don't do it, major risks, not worth it. We'll talk
about that after six o'clock in our deeper dive segment,
and we'll also get into unusual cosmetic surgeries.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
At six thirty five.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
We're gonna get into our Scammer's Gonna Scam segment. There's
a poor man here in the Southland who's had his
image used for well over fifteen years. His photo has
been floating around the Internet and people are claiming to
be him to get dates.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
He's upset. It's a scam. We're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Then at six point fifty, we're gonna talk about what
you would do if your HouseGuest, someone staying in your
home was secretly using your perfume. What are you gonna
do if they're secretly using your perfume or your cologne.
It happened, it went viral, and that's our viral Load
segment to end the show. Also, the college football coach
(07:10):
famed college football coach John Beam from Last Chance You
on Netflix has in fact died after being shot.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
He came to prominence on.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The show on that series, but he's been a beloved
coach for decades for many people, many students of the craft,
athletes who have learned under him, and he unfortunately was
killed and what police are calling a targeted attack, with
the twenty seven year old suspect being arrested yesterday Friday,
Rest in peace to John Beam, Oakland's former football coach, celebrated.
(07:48):
When we come back, we're going to get into a
rundown of some more news that we're watching, and then
we're going to get into this weai moo, this WEAIMO
program launching today on one of the rainiest day in
the year. I don't think you should write it. You
might want to. I'll give you the details in case
you would like to do so. On the other side
(08:09):
of the break, it's Saturday's with Tiffany.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Demand, Tiffany Hobbs here on this rainy, rainy, rainy Saturday evening,
and it will continue to rain. It's going to rain tomorrow.
Look outside, you can see it if it's falling from
the sky. It's raining. Take precautions, be careful, drive safely,
stay home if you can. Quick rundown of some stories
that we're watching, some really big stories in the news
(08:38):
right now. And if you're like me, information that you
have learned against your will, information this week that you
didn't ask for, but you got. But first, some good news,
as the longest government shut down in history has ended
after forty three days, the US government is working quickly
(08:58):
to get full snow app benefits two millions of people.
It's forty two million people in fact, five million in California,
and they're saying the government saying that it can take
up to a week for many of those people to
receive the aid that.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Has been delayed.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And while some states have already issued full snap benefits,
California being on that list, with many people receiving their
full benefits, but not all.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Some are still waiting.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
There are about two thirds of states that only issued
partial benefits or none at all, So that is continuing
to unfold. But as you know, the government shutdown is over,
the longest in history. Then when it comes to information
you didn't want to know, or maybe you did, and
maybe you didn't know. All the details of President Trump
(09:49):
was mentioned in emails from Jeffrey Epstein as Congress took
two unveiling thousands of files, and there are a few
take away from these newly released Epstein emails, including the
fact that many of the emails that the convicted sex offender.
(10:10):
Epstein sent to his rich or influential friends or reporters
included lots of salacious information or at least inclination that
the Trump administration is refuting completely. They are saying that
this information was cherry picked out of context in an
(10:34):
effort to make President Trump look bad. But Democrats on
the House Oversight Committee released three emails initially where Epstein
mentioned President Trump. So these emails are causing a lot
of interest and a lot of head scratching. No one
(10:55):
really knows what to make of them just yet, but
they are floating out there, and i'm will continue to
be a high source of interest in conversation for the weeks,
if not months to come. Let's get into some Weymo
news quickly. Weimo, the autonomous ride hailing company, has announced
that it will begin offering rides on freeways for customers
(11:16):
in Phoenix, San Francisco, and right here in Los Angeles
starting today.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
All right, starting tonight, Waimo, Google's self driving taxis will
hit the freeways for the first time.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
It's part of a service expansion that the company says it's.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Ready, But our riders, that's the big question. NBC four
is mccallumya jumped into a Weimo to find out. We're
here at.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
USC waiting for our way More ride. They're not going
to hit the freeways just yet. That'll be around seven
o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh, there's our right now.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Okay, we're going to sear it is. One is right
now at the convention center to talk to riders using
this thing on the freeway. Now, this Waimo just took
us through the surface streets from USC to downtown Los Angeles.
Yup there you can see absolutely no driver behind the
lay or right at the convention center. We're gonna talk
to folks sounds and see what they think about Waimo
(12:06):
on the highway.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Kind of scary.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I would hope that they have like all the technology
in order.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I think it'll be interesting. Yeah, yeah, I Stallworth, a
Waimo user. She says she's ready for these rivals taxis
on the freeway. She's been using them on the roads,
and she says she feels safe. The service on freeways
will kick off at seven o'clock tonight, not just here
in LA but also the Bay Area as well as Phoenix.
The company saying impart in the statement that introducing freeways
is built on real world performance and millions of miles
(12:33):
logged on freeways. Skillfully handling highway dynamics with our employees
as well as guests, I guess they got.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
It the technology down. I mean, the Tesla's are already
doing it, so she'd be. I don't know if I
do it myself.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
But drivers like your own Dyson, are intrigued but also
a little skeptical.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I don't know if they have can move out of
the way fast enough if someone like swerves into the lane,
or if a person you know, jumps out in the freeway.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Others say, LA streets are one thing, but highways and
freeways will there's something.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Especially during rush hour you have life. Yeah no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
LA streets and freeways are something else all together. They're
it's own, They're their own unique beast. And I don't
know if Weimo is ready to tame that just yet,
especially when you take into account the mini mistakes WEIMO
makes on surface streets and then to put that on
freeways and during inclement weather like we're having today or
(13:27):
even the best of weather, skepticism, skepticism, and in the past,
Waimo's have typically avoided highways, and now weimo's saying, after
years of testing, years, I don't see that testing as
necessarily being successful.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But they do, which.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Includes public highways with employees driving on closed courses and
in virtual simulations. WEIMO says, it's ready, it's ready to
start offering those highway trips to you. And again it
starts tonight at seven, so you have an hour and
a half to get out there and hail away, mow
and make sure all of your affairs are in order
(14:07):
if you do, because I just skepticism. I'm not sure
safer at home for sure. Speaking about home, when we
come back, we're going to talk about how your rent
may be seeing a stabilization when it comes to just
how much you're paying year after year, as LA has
(14:28):
now reformed rent control for the first time in forty years.
We're going to get into the details and why some
people are not happy about this situation. On the other
side of the break, it's Saturdays with Tiffany. I'm Tiffany
Hobbs here till seven.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Tiffany Hobbs here.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It's raining, it's still raining, and as you heard there,
there have been some special alerts issued specifically for the
areas in and around ox Now, So if you're out
that way and you're experiencing heavy rainfall, please hit the
talk back feature on the iHeart app. Let us know
what the weather. We know what the weather looks like,
(15:12):
but let us know what it feels like to you.
And if there is anything that maybe the weather alert
system may have missed because you're there, you're on the ground,
hopefully not on the ground, hopefully somewhere safe, but you're there,
let us know and make sure that you keep it
right here for updates on the rain throughout the night,
throughout the rest of the weekend, as we continue to
(15:33):
manage this storm, this heavy, heavy, heavy downpour. What is
it called? What is an atmospheric river is what it's called.
And I always picture literally a river above my head,
and I don't think that's what it's supposed to look like.
But I'm no meteorologists, although I play one on radio.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
To peg A canyon is still closed.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Naples Lane and Long Beach flooded and it's still draining,
draining slowly. It's still really flooded out there on Naples Lane.
In Long Beach and there's video on Channel seven of
people kayaking down the street. So lots and lots of
footage coming in about this weather. If you have anything
(16:14):
you want to share, let us know on the talk
back feature. And again I said, the iheartbuilding right here
is itself a victim of this crazy storm. Storm Watch
twenty twenty five. Our elevators don't work. And while we
can't necessarily point the finger at the rain necessarily, but
we can surmise that maybe the weather has something to
(16:37):
do with it. And at any rate, we all have
been forced to take the stairs. Horrible first world problems. Now.
I posted on my Instagram at tiff hobbs On here
my own exploits with stair travel today up to the
studio floor and thankfully Kayla was there to rescue me.
(16:57):
And you'll see the video if you If you do
go on my instagram at tif hobbs On here as
to why I actually needed rescue. So I'll still give
you some time to check that out. Maybe after six
I'll tell you what happened. I'll give you some time
to go and see for yourself on Instagram at tif
hobbs On here.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
If you're a renter in LA.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You know, it's one of the most expensive places to rent.
I think next to New York, maybe Seattle, maybe Hawaii.
Rent in LA is extremely high and one of the
things that keeps rent high is that annually there are
rental hikes. There are rent hikes where legally rent is
(17:42):
not supposed to go up past a certain percentage, but
it does happen, and often it happens illegally to tenants
who don't know their rights, don't know that these things
aren't supposed to happen and what they can fight against.
But in this case, LA has decided that they are
going to, through the city council, reform rent control for
(18:05):
what amounts to the first time in forty entire years.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Here's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Under these new reforms, which were approved by the majority
of LA City Council members, rental hikes would be capped
at four percent four percent. That means it cannot be
a ten percent hike. Do the math there. It has
to stay at four percent or below. And that's even
(18:34):
if inflation in the overall economy runs higher. So even
if the economy is doing poorly, even if prices are
spiking everywhere else. LA City Council has decided that renters
within LA will not see annual rental increases beyond four
percent now. It took more than two years of discussion
(18:57):
and debate amongst LA City Council, but on Wednesday, they
voted to significantly lower those annual rent increases in most
of the city's apartments. LA's current rent control rules, because
there are rent control rules, guarantee that landlords have the
right to raise rents at least three percent every year.
(19:23):
At least three percent every year, increases can go as
high as ten percent in some apartments during periods of inflation.
If you've ever been a renter, you know that when
it's time to renew your lease, if you stay, you're
faced with the possibility that your rent may increase. Sometimes
(19:45):
you're lucky it's practically pennies on the dollar, and at
other times you see significant increases that don't seem to
match with what you expected. I'm a renter, no shame
in that for me. Enjoy renting. I love my place,
and last rental increase or last resigning of my lease,
(20:07):
my rent was raised about one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
If I were to just round it up.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Now for me, I can absorb that increase, But what
of those people who are on fixed incomes or are
perhaps not necessarily able to pay for something like that.
And people will say, well, just move. It ain't that easy.
It ain't that easy, especially if you've been there for
a while. But now LA will cap that rental increase
(20:36):
at four percent.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
No more.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Will it be at least three percent, up to ten
percent and sometimes higher. No, landlords will not be able
to go past four percent. Now there is an additional
two percent increase for landlords who cover utilities, and the
exact rate each year would be equal to about ninety
(21:00):
percent of the change in the region's consumer price index,
which measures economic inflation. Nidia Raman, who's chair of the
City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee, said we need.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
To make a change to this formula.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
She went on to say that extraordinary rent increases are
driving people out of the city, and of course landlords
are none too pleased with this. They're saying, what about us,
Will there be assistance? Will there be subsidies for these changes?
And landlord groups are clamoring together to try and figure
(21:37):
out how to mitigate skyrocketing insurance premiums, steeper maintenance costs.
All of those things included are leading to a lot
of dissent between renters and these landlord groups. But as
of right now, this rent control applies and it will
go into effectiate I.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Think it's immediately here.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So if you're a renter and you plan to stay,
you plan to renew, that's good news on the forefront
for you. It's capped at four percent, no longer can
it exceed four percent up to ten percent. When we
come back, we are going to talk about this lawsuit
against United Airlines. People are suing because they say they're
(22:26):
purchasing window seats and not getting window seats, that it's
all a scam. This could be an our Scammer's gonna
scam segment, but it's not. We're going to talk about
everything involved in this lawsuit and why if you buy
a window seat you need to make sure it's actually
a window seat. On the other side of the break
it Saturdays with Tiffany here until seven on this rainy, rainy,
(22:47):
rainy Saturday.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Tiffany Hobbs here still backing this storm. Storm Watch twenty
twenty five. It's late autumn storm or late fall whatever.
This is autumn autimal have you what do you say,
autumn late harvest fall?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Thank you. That's probably the easiest wine of all.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I'm going with the more complicated, but we're still absolutely
tracking it. There is flooding. Roads are flooded. There are sinkholes.
The freeways have flooding. Definitely along that southbound fifty seven
in Diamond Bar. Be careful, the fifty seven south to
pang A Canyon that still has stretches closed.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Be careful. It's raining. We have a talk back.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We have a talkback from Kevin, who wanted to check
in with us on this rainy Saturday.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Hi, Tiffany, Kevin. I live in Hawthorne, Nevada, but I
grew up in Highland Park, right next to the past
Gena Freeway Avenue fifty six, having you fifty seven. I
have been catching your show lately for one reason or
another after mister Savedra. Anyway, just want to tell you
(24:08):
I really enjoy it and keep up the good work. Alrighty,
take care, stay dry.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
So sweet, Kayla, you just came back from a trip.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yes, I did, I just got back to the country.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You were on a plane. I was on a couple
you went you were flying boy or your arm's tired. No,
you were on a highlight. What seat do you choose
when you book a plane? What's your preference. I'm a
window girly. You're a window girly. Yeah, why because you
can you can like kind of lean on the window
and sleep. Yes, and you can't do that in the
middle or the aisle.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
True.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Do you like to look out the window?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Of course, take out and land in and you know
the views in between the gets sick.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
It's a flight going a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'm a window person as well, window girly. As you said,
I love the window seat. I always booked the window seat.
I have noticed it has happened to me before that
when I I've booked the window seat, my seat is
in between kind of two windows, and I have a
window kind of kind of diagonally behind me that I
(25:09):
can kind of lean back and look out of, and
then I have a window kind of diagonally in front
of me that kind.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Of is the passenger in front of me's window.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But the window that should be right next to me
is more or less a wall and I can't see
out unless I lean forward or lean back. I definitely
had that on my flight this time round you did
this time this time?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Okay, Well you if you fly and you want to
involve yourself in a lawsuit, I don't know what airline
you flew, what airline were you on? It was a banner, Cupola, Coppola.
It was like a foreign one because I was going
out of the country, like CheapTickets dot com.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
You are ready, Hey, it's I'm not. Yeah, I'm right
with you.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Well, in this case, if you want to spring a
little bit more and you want to get tickets with
United or Delta, if you have tried to purchase a
window seat and you found that you were staring at
the inside of the cabin wall. Passengers have filed a
class action lawsuit against both airlines again United in Delta,
(26:08):
after they say some of the seats on Boeing seven
thirty seven, seven fifty seven and Airbus A three twenty
one planes that were labeled as window seats had no
actual windows, a detail they claim was not disclosed during booking. Now,
the attorney Carter Greenbaum, who's representing the plaintiffs against United
(26:32):
and Delta. Toyed Toyd told Reuters that United's position was
contrary to the reasonable expectations of countless passengers who unknowingly
paid extra money for windowless window seats. Consumers deserve better
than empty promises, and United's word games sasy sasy well. Also,
(26:57):
there's a filing that came in on Monday and Sat
Francisco Federal Court, and United argued that it never contractually
guaranteed that window seats would in fact provide a window view,
and that despite labeling them as such on booking screens
and boarding passes, the word window identifies the position of
(27:22):
the seat, i e. Next To the wall of the
main body of the aircraft and does not necessarily mean
that you'll have an exterior window view. The dirty dirtiness
of United and Delta in this case. They say book
a window seat, it means you're sitting against the wall.
(27:46):
Sounds like wording that is intentionally confusing, intentionally misleading, But
that's their counter suit. They're alleging they never promised a view.
Even though a window doesn't promise a view, it's by
definition a gateway to a view.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
But that's not what they're saying. You're paying for.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You're paying for being next to the wall of the
main body of the aircraft, and you're lucky if that
lines up with an actual view outside. Now, these these
passengers who are suing are are definitely suing for quite
a bit of money, and the lawsuits seek millions in
(28:30):
damages on behalf of over one million passengers per airline.
That's United and Delta, So these are multiple millions that
they're seeking for one million over one million passengers, which
will amount to like three dollars per person when the
lawsuit actually shakes down, but hopefully, hey, it's worth it.
(28:53):
When I book a windows seat, I want a window seat.
I don't want someone playing games. I also don't want
to come into contact with someone who is telling me
that their eye color is natural, but in fact it
was purchased through a surgery, and that this is now
a very easy and logical way to not only change
(29:17):
your appearance.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But to dupe people. This is a new.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Surgery, and in our deeper dive segment coming up, we're
going to investigate how you can change your eye color.
But it doesn't come without risks. Even though the recipients
say change their lives for the better in some cases.
And we're going to look at some very unusual surgeries
that if you have the money you can spring for
(29:42):
you might want to make elf ears. That's the thing,
and i'll tell you about more on the other side.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
