Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Move into this unusually strong storm system overnight, widespread rain
all the way till Sunday, maybe a break in the rain,
and then a chance for some more rain after that,
and hey, after even that, maybe even more rain.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Though that's a little bit of ways away.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We have joining us now, my friend and yours KTLA
meteorologist Via Jimenez, who's monitoring this storm in the KTLA
Weather Center.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Good evening, Via, How did you know?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
How did you know? I was in the weather tenor
right now?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I figured, I know that that's like the most cozy
place to be. And the new LAFD fire chief said
everybody tonight should just stay home, cuddle up and get cozy,
and I hope that that's what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yes, you know, this is just a prelude. We're experiencing
the nice, quiet, easy prelude. I like to call these
rain beneficial rain. They're just nice or gentle. We're not
seeing anything too heavy, and I wish it was this
the entire weekend because it's always really good for our
water year. But man, what comes tomorrow is going to
(01:13):
be a completely different animal. Yeah, we're going to see
some heavy rain, Andy, What can I tell you? I wish,
I wish it was all an exaggeration, but no, Yeah,
you always.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Give it to us straight, which I think is really
important because maybe just perhaps the media has a way
of over selling when it rains in La But you're
telling me is pretty serious. I was just looking at
Santa Barbara County rainfall totals from a Lisel reservoir, looking
at five point six one inches over the last two days.
(01:44):
San Marcos passed up in Santa Barbara County four and
a half four point seven inches. The KT Whitey Tower
looking at four point two seven inches up there.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That's a lot of rain.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
That is a lot of rain. And again we haven't
even really been hit by the hearts up now. The
only caveat to that, Andy, is that Santa Barbara points
north of Santa Barbara got the heavy rain yesterday and
today tomorrow it is going to shift a little bit
(02:17):
and it's actually going to be Ventura and La County
that gets the brunt of it. And then you know,
obviously Orange County Santa Barbara is going to get it,
but they're not going to it doesn't look like they are.
Going to get nearly as much as you know, La
and Ventura County, so well, I mean that was what
(02:38):
we saw yesterday. Today it looks a little bit different.
So because the system is detached from the jet stream,
it's a cutoff low that technically, what that means is
that it's not going to have a steering mechanism, so
it's just going to kind of spin off the coast
and it's so essentially think of it as like almost
dolling out over an area. And that's why we are
going to see anywhere between twelve and twenty four hours
(03:01):
of consistent rain, depending on where you are.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I think one of the.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Good ways to think about this because it's sort of hard,
it's all sort of nebulous. But when you think about this,
is as much rain as we would get in a
whole month, or a whole quarter, a whole season over
the course of just one weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah. Yeah, in some years it's going to be as
much as a whole season. There have been some years
that we barely get anything. So yeah, so it is
very exciting. You know. I do want to say one
thing that I think is really important because you know,
generally when we talk about warnings, watches, and advisories. A
watch is the most benign, then it's an advisory, and
(03:43):
then it's a warning. Well, with this rain event, they
are going to call it a flood watch for the
entire event. And so normally I would say, look, they're
calling it a flood watch, So I wouldn't get that
excited about it, because because if they thought it was
severe or they thought that it was really going to happen,
(04:04):
they would call it a warning, no bones about it.
But they've actually changed the watch that's associated to flooding
and that they keep it a watch for the entire event.
And because of the way the flooding works, what they'll
do is they will wait one to two hours before
(04:28):
they think, based on the gauge ratings that the floods
are actually going to trigger or the mudslides are going
to trigger, and then they'll flip it. Then they'll either
turn it to an advisory or into a warning. So
that is something new that they've done.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, and when do you think we'll see that happen?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
If at all?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Tomorrow? Okay, tomorrow, for for sure. Tomorrow, I am pretty
certain that we will see some mud and debris flows
to some extent tomorrow. It's not tomorrow morning because remember
the rain starts tonight. The rain is it's been raining
all day, so it's been it's had an opportunity to
(05:11):
start saturating. And so even if we don't get a
lot of mud and debris flows with this event next week,
because the ground is already going to be so saturated.
Is what I'm like in the back of my head, going, Okay,
you need to make sure you pay really close attention
to that, yeah, because you know, once the ground gets saturated,
there's like where else is it going to go?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, and I know it's not just the Burnscar areas too,
because you're obviously concerned about that, but you're talking about
any kind of low lying areas where there's flooding. Obviously
we're going to see that areas of Sunland where we
always go to do live shots sun Valley up there,
that part of the north northeastern part of the San
Fernando Valley. But also when you look over towards I
mean I'm assuming the canyons, any other areas, Canyon Roads
(05:57):
to Panca Canyon where it always floods.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Absolutely, yes, those yes, So I'm not just talking about now. Granted,
the Eaton fire, the Palisades fire, and even the Bridge
fire are major places of concern because they're so fresh,
But yeah, I mean we're going to see flooding in
the typical spots, you know, along the sand gabriels, foothills,
you know, even a street with like you know, like
(06:20):
up near like Sierra Madre, up near like Arcadia, Alta Dina,
you know, those really pretty areas where it's hilly and
they're like even there, they're going to see you know,
some you know a little bit of mud and some
debris flows. So yeah, all of that is definitely going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Do you think that there's any concern about like the
spillway by or the wash by, like you know, the
studio city near CBS Radford. I always see that getting
so close to the edge when we have a lot
of rain, but I've never seen that overflow.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
That probably won't happen, right.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I don't think it'll happen. But there's always the.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
First time, That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
There is always a first time. And I know that
is so fascinating to watch. When I used to work
at CBS, we used to like I used to like
to stand out there and watch just you.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Know, so it was fast.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I used to live right right there on Radford, like
across the street from the station, and I would go
out there all the time and you would watch and
you would just see, I mean, because it's la especially,
you just see a bunch of debris, like, oh look,
there's a trash can, there's a refrigerator, there's a there's
a Christmas.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Tree or whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
There's there's a tire, there's a there's you know, all
kinds of and you know, it was kind of funny,
but not funny, you know what I mean, And you
have to make light of things otherwise, you know, you
wind up wanting to jump outside of out of Bill
and wind Bill because it's so depressing. Yeah, I mean,
I know that's terrible, but you know what I.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Mean, Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, I think we're all we're all on the same
page here. It's uh, you know, it's kfi.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
We we got it.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
And I think that, you know, when you talk about
being ready, I am.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I am heartened by the fact that the LAPD says
that they sent people to the individual homes and the
palisades to try to alert people that they needed to
get ready and get out. That evacuation warning went into
effect at eight pm. And like you said, but the
rain coming tonight in the heaviest form, you probably won't
see those those debris flows though you say they probably
(08:13):
will see them, but you won't see them till tomorrow.
So at least they we have a little bit of
a heads up there to get ready and to get out.
But you know, I mean, you got to think all
of that terrain that was impacted by those fires for
years is going to be at risk until you have
vegetation growing there. And I always think about Montecito and
(08:34):
in the Thomas fire, and then a couple months after that,
or maybe a year after that, when the hill just
gave way up to Santy Siedro Ranch and and I
mean people got washed out to see it was a tragedy.
But when you really think about that, you realize that
these fires are not the end of the story, because
(08:55):
there is something else that could happen in that case
was far more deadly.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It's all cause and effect. It's all cause and effect.
It's you know, one thing triggering another one. I just
want to make sure that folks know that we are
going to see periods where we have some very unstable conditions,
and so there are going to be thunderstorms embedded in
some of these cells that come in, and when that happens,
(09:23):
we could see upwards of an inch of rain. Now
keep in mind that the threshold is half an inch
of rain per hour, and once that happens, that's, you know,
where we do have that possibility of you know, the
warnings and the advisories getting issued, because that's when we
(09:44):
could see those mud and debrief flows get triggered because
that's just way too much rain per hour.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And then with the tornado warnings or not warnings, but
like warnings about tornadoes, what's that.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Look like for you?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I just it's a less than zero probability, so they're
talking about it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So you think that we shouldn't be concerned about tornadoes.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
No, I honestly don't think that we should be. You know, Andy,
here's the deal. There are going to be if we
do see any I think there'll be water spouts over
the Pacific Ocean because remember over the Pacific Ocean, there's
nothing to slow winds down. There's nothing to slow winds down.
So once rotation starts, it just goes, but on land
(10:33):
over the continent, it's a little bit more challenging because
you have what it's called friction, and friction is just
basically trees and buildings and light poles and cars and
people and things that slow the momentum of the wind. So,
you know, if we were talking if the winds, if
(10:56):
that was going to be a big part of the
weather story, we would have wind advisories and playing and
I think the closest wind advisory we have is like
up north. So you know, is it the fact that
they described it as well, there's a less than zero
chance that we could have a tornado? Well, what I mean,
what does that even meanero chance? Andy, there's a lessons
(11:19):
a zero chance that I'm gonna get hit by a
bus when I step outside of the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, well we got we also got to tell the
Metro to stop driving their buses through our parking lot.
That's the that's how we we got to start with that. Well, Vera,
I'll tell you what. I thank you so much for
for being here and for helping us through this. I
am way out of time, but thank you for for all. No, no,
you're fine, this is my bad but I think it's
important information and especially if people take this seriously. You're
(11:43):
always such a good voice of reason in this So
I appreciate you. Uh, and we will see you soon
at work for sure, So real quick break. We'll be
back with more show right after this.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Vera Jimenez from KTLA very good.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You're listening to KFI A M six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Love talking to verra verra is uh is so rare.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I think to get somebody who could just tells it
to you straight, because it's all about scare them, shock them.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
So I think she's Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I think she's always always a good a good voice
of reason and omnipresent, omnipresent and omnipotent inescapable.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
She's great, man, she's a legend.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
I don't know her. Is she nice in real life?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Oh my god, she's the sweetest.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
I mean, you're not going to say if she's horrible,
but it is.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I'll tell you what, if I didn't have a good
vibe with her, like I wouldn't try to have her
on the show, you know, I mean all right, Like
she wouldn't if she wasn't cool, she wouldn't do it,
first of all. And secondly, if like she was a jerk,
which she's not, I wouldn't I just wouldn't invite her.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
You know, she seems like she puts in a lot
of airtime.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
She I mean she does.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
She does a lot of work and she's a real scientist,
like she really knows the stuff. And it's funny because,
you know, we talked about this. She taught me how
to do weather, and she was saying when she was
at CBSK Cawn, which was years ago, they really wanted
her to be like science first, and so she was
doing these very complex things and talking about all the
(13:13):
specifics of the trough and the low and the millibars
and the different cloud heights and all this stuff, and
it just sometimes it gets too wonky.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It's just like, Okay, I'm not going to read a
manual to understand how to listen to the news report.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
I think most people want to know if they should
just wear a hat.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly. But she's really excited about it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
She's very good at and I think that she's almost
she's always right, So that's that's why she's good.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So have you been to the mall?
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Lately.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
No, you know, gen Z is going back to the mall.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
Allegedly it's a scene right out of a classic teen movie,
young people hanging out at the.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Mall coming here is like, it's an activity.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
After years of decline, retail is now experiencing a renaissance
driven by gen Z.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Is so bizarre it makes me happy quite frankly.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah, I like that too. I'm glad. I don't like
a dead mall.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
I love it, and I blame millennials for ruining the mall,
but I'm glad gen Z has rediscovered it.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
I love that generation.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yeah, gen Z is uh cute. They're fine.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
Yeah, recent surveys finding that they visit malls more than
any other generation, opting to spend more in store than online.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
So what did you guys buy?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I got two things.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's never about buying stuff, Yeah, it's just about the experience.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
From dining spots by popular influencers like mister Beasts to
indoor activity.

Honestly, kill me, Like, if that's why we're going to
the mall.

Speaker 7 (15:23):
Now you have you he heard of this thing called
a colloquialism. It's the Queen's English? Is it the King's English?
Just because the idea is that the queen is no
longer with us, and we don't switch it back and
forth depending on who's an aufer.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
I do because I'm part of the Commonwealth. We don't

beautiful dialog.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Pennsylvania is going to sue me for that.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
There, All right, Han, time to get out of here.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Buy me Andy Reestmeyer. You can find me at Andy
kt LA. If you'd like to say lo on Instagram.
You could also find us on that iHeartRadio applic for
that talkback function. Nikki, did we figure out how to
play talkbacks yet? Or are we kind of just still
just sort of let them?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I think that's a you problem.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Oh boy, but we took calls. That's a lot.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I can do that one.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, that's easy.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Figure out the cool I could? I can?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
I just have to sit and you know, yeah, put
my sinking poke around something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We were talking about gen Z going back to the mall,
which is funny and I've always felt like I was
a big mall person. That was where we went as kids.
And I'm pretty much smack dab in the middle of
millennial And I guess if the evil that I, as
Nikki said, in my generation foisted upon the world was
(18:26):
that we did not go to the mall enough, and
we killed malls. I don't understand it because I was
there every weekend, the Glendale Mall in Indianapolis. I know
we have another Glendale there, unrelated, just happened to have
the same name. I worked at the Gap. I grew
up at the mall, I really did. And the Netflix
(18:48):
thing with all the activations coming and taking over, what
Netflix doesn't want to tell you is that it makes
a lot of sense because malls are empty. They're cheap,
either them or a Spirit Halloween store better than a
laser tag arena or a mega church. If you see
(19:11):
a mega church opening your mall, your mall is done for.
I was, like I said, working at the Gap when
I was out of high school. I took a gap year,
quite literally, and I had like fifteen minute breaks, and
I couldn't go anywhere because you'd be at the Gap
and then you'd have fifteen minutes and it would take
you ten minutes to get to the food court, so
you'd go up there and then you'd have to stand
(19:32):
in and if the line wasn't long enough, the line
was too long, you just had to bail. I don't
know how many times I stood at a Ciborro waiting
in line so I could get a snack, and then
it's like, well, I just I can't.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm not gonna be able to eat this piece of pizza.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Do you ever get a pretzel?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Any Ann's, Yeah, ani Ns is like the best we
had a Wetzel's, I think at that mall. But any
Ans was like the for sure the premiere pretzel eating
experience at a mall. But it's crazy because I think
about this, right, there was Ciborro, Anie Ann's Metels, Charlie's
Philly Steaks. There was always that weird Tarioki place that
none of those restaurants exist anywhere outside of mall food courts.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
You don't. You don't run into a Cibarro.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
There's no sitting down to Charlie's Phillies Cheese Steaks.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
No. I I saw it like in a David Mammott movie,
William Macy mentioned like going out with his wife to
a Sabarro's, like a special night out out in the town.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And I thought that was a hilarious dig well, and
I didn't know anything. So when I was in high school,
I would go to the mall and get pizza at
the cibarro the sparrow Is it sabarro? What's the I
know it's sb but how do we pronounce it?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
That remains unconfirmed.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, Tony, Tony, do you have an answer for us?
Speaker 11 (20:46):
I mean, if it's Italian, you can always do it
just phonetically. It's just kind of sparrow. So the funny
thing is that I didn't know that that. I mean
I took them at their word, authentic New York pizza. Well,
New York is an Italian so well, but I mean
it's sparrow is, like, you know, that's their thing.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's like authentic New York pies. Got your slice right heres, Maya?
And I thought that that was like, oh, this is
some fine food.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Yeah, so maybe you do have to if it's Italian
ad an extra verb and a hand gesture.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
So it's so borrow. You know you got you got golie?
Yeah hmm you bjo you love a bugoot? We love
a bushoot.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Don't stop with the This is just probably very offensive
to Italians. I'm sorry he is it offensive?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I like an ausy slash yinser slash britt doing an
Italian accent British.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
I'm Ouzzy Kiwi.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
But didn't you live in England?
Speaker 6 (21:51):
That's why my accent is so special.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So great, so special.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Uh well, I think that I like for malls to
come back. Like I said, I I loved malls. I
even wrote a song about malls. I'm gonna make you
listen to it for thirty seconds. Serve time for crimes
in food court, scam samples for a meal.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
They'll drown me in the fountain. At least, I remember
how you steal. We live here in fay Lass under.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Polyester trees, basket in the sky, uptime, recycle.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Whatever, we just sound, We just laugh.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And you cas. I grew up at the Love Malls.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Wow, that was amo.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah you like that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
A little little kind of punkish pop punk from back in.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
The day, very millennial.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's very of my of my era for sure.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Did you used to shop at Hot Topic?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I was not cool enough to shop at Hot Topic.
I feel like those kids were a little like I was.
They would beat me up, you know, like the real
scene kids, the real punks. I was like I was
like in the in the discount rack at the Eddie Bauer.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I don't think real punks shop at hot topic.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, sure, you're right. But in my mind, again, remember
my worldview at this time was very small. It was
very very narrow. I had very little perspective on anything
in life. So that's that's, you know. But but mall's
you know, I think that there's a lot of stuff
that people are doing. There's them all in the I
think it's in Saint Louis that they've changed. Maybe Nashville
(23:52):
they changed it so that the storefronts are now apartments.
That's a crazy concept, you think that's I think.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Well, one of our other board ops lives at a
place like that, at the Burbank Joint up here. You're
up the hill.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Oh yeah, okay, I mean these guys across the street
who live in the Telaria, they live above the Whole Foods.
That seems like the best thing that you could I mean,
can you imagine? It seems dystopian to me. I don't
want that. Well, you don't want love? Is that what
that sounds like? I've been accused of that. What about
living with airplanes?
Speaker 12 (24:29):
At first glance, this neighborhood in Cameron Park looks like
any other suburban community in California. But if you drive down,
Boeing wrote, You'll notice something very different about this neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Sounds like there's a lot of cheeky music going on
in that neighborhood.
Speaker 12 (24:54):
Why are there so many planes here on everyone's front
front lawn?
Speaker 13 (24:58):
Because we're spoiled brats. We get to live with our airplane.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Oh I love this, lady arnt.
Speaker 13 (25:04):
Long, Because we're spoiled brats and we get to live
with our airplane.
Speaker 12 (25:09):
This is Airpark, a suburban community built for pilots. Your guys,
this morning commute, you may just see an airplane in
front of you.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Oh.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
Sure, absolutely, There's several people I know.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
That commute to the Bay Area daily.
Speaker 12 (25:23):
Julie Clark is one of about one hundred and twenty
eight home owners in Airpark, and she's kind of a
legend in the aviation community.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Her airplane.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
After becoming one of the first female commercial airline pilots
in the US, Julie got into aerobatics fourty years ago.
She started the highly successful aerobatics company Julie Clark's air
Show made Airpark her home base.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
You sleep with your airplane basically, not literally, but we
have a hanger's attached storehouse she's finn.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
This is near Sacramento, lle.
Speaker 13 (25:53):
But your hanger, we have a hanger's attached storehouses or
on our property.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Established in the nineteen sixties, Airpark was specifically built for
the needs of pilots, including large lots and even larger
roads big enough for planes to taxi to the neighboring airstrip.
You have to share the road with the planes, or
because the planes have to share the road with the cars.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The planes technically have the right of way, so that's
how it works. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 12 (26:17):
Logan Peterson is called Airpark Home for the better part
of his life. With some guidance from his dad, the
twenty two year old was flying before he was driving,
and even got his commercial pilot's license.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
He bought a plane about a year before I was born,
which was this plane, and then I started flying right
when I was born, started taking lessons at twelve, and
then got my license at seventeen.
Speaker 12 (26:36):
There's about one hundred aircrafts in Airpark, and for the
average homeowner, the noise from those aircraft engines can be
pretty loud, but not for Carl Gremlik.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Yeah, it's amazing. People in near airports complained about noise.
I tell everyone we pay extra for the noise.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
Carl's a former Air Force squadron commander who flew B
fifty two's, one of the military's largest bombers. But he
moved to airpark so he could fly his history Chinese
name chang Warburg with other like minded pilots.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
But it's really fun just being able to sit with
your aeroplane, take it out whenever you want, and then
come back here and just relax and talk to all
the other pilots.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
This is a real sort of down home version of
what John Travolta was doing back in the day. Remember
he had somewhere in Florida where he parked his as
Quantus seven o seven and his golf stream.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
It was one of those things that made you realize
some people just have too much money.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It's like clear.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Water, the community in Cluton near the Scientology Center.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Probably that seems about right. He, by the way, donated
that airplane. He no longer has, the old seven o seven.
The Quanta's play best. Yeah, he's the I love John Travolta.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Have you actually have you met him?
Speaker 8 (27:47):
I didn't meet him, but I worked at the Academy
Awards when he presented the in Memoriam section the year
that my Queen myleis Olivia Newton John Don And I've
watched him do the rehearsals and then I watched him
break down in tears.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Well sure cast live, so oh wow, wow wow wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, I mean he you know, he is a legend
Foreshore the King, very very good. I'm going to find
out how much of those house would cost here in
the Cameron Park Airport district up in Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I've already been looking.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Actually, yeah, how much? How much are they?
Speaker 6 (28:22):
It's actually not too bad.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
I mean they range from like around five hundred thousand
to nearly two million, Yeah, standard for LA prices.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, I mean, but you're in Sacramento, so you're going
to pay a premium.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Is that a bad thing to be in a Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
No, I just think it's less expensive than LA.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
It's very pretty up there.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's gorgeous. Yeah, people, I think that's like a real good,
well kept secret up there.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's not Baker's Field, you know?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Is that a bad name? Is that a bad place?
Bakers Field?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Not our favorite?
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Okay, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Just a couple of minutes here before we're handing it
back to uh Mark Ronerd. Look, we were so behind
on the show today, kind.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Of throughout the evening. Yeah, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Well, no, but if you're talking about something or to
somebody interesting, it's hard to disengage.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I can't say no to Vira. I told you she's omnipressive.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Yeah, nobody seems to be able to say no to
were satellites don't seem to be able to say no.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Who Sometimes when I do the weather on the weekend nights.
When I used to fill in for weather weekend nights,
they would go four minute thirty long four minutes and
thirty long se jeez, four minutes and thirty second long segments.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
If you ever introduced me to Via, am I going
to fall under her spell and just want to just
stand there. You want to hang mouth open listening.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
To her, You'll just want to hang just chill.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, she's got a lot of good insight and some
fun stories. Some people have that magnetism. She has the magnetism. Okay,
I would say Mark Ronner has the magnetism. The riz
you got the Riz. Tony's got the Riz, Nicky's got
the risk.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's right, Nicky. Congratulations on your new babies.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
I'm so proud.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Thank you a new bunny mom.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Well, I'm just fostering them.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's so sweet of you. You showed me a couple of pictures.
There are these little tiny what kind of are they?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Bunny?
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Like?
Speaker 3 (30:17):
What are they?
Speaker 8 (30:17):
They're the little fuzzy lops. They were found abandoned in
a park in Pasadena, huddled together. Can I give a
shout out to the rabbit.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
Rescue that I'm fostering for.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
They're called Bunny World Foundation, and the two little girls
i'm fostering, they're available for adoption. Their names are Yelena
and Elena.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Well that's not confusing at all.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Well, I've renamed them while they're in my care. The
brown one is Pamela and the white one is Anna Nicole.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
And they're gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
That's great. That's great.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Bunny World Foundation.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Bunny World Foundation. That's right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Well, I look forward to Uh, do you think they're
gonna be foster fails.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
I'm not going to keep them because I value my freedom,
but they will be amazing lifetime babies for somebody who
wants to adopt two gorgeous bonded bunnies that have great personalities.
They're not aggressive, They're very lovey.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Are there a lot of aggressive bunnies out there?
Speaker 8 (31:16):
I had an aggressive bunny named Janie. She was an attacker.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Outside of Mondy, Python and the Holy Grail, bunnies tend
not to be very aggressive.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
You wouldn't think, uh oh, they can be very territorial
and aggressive. Janie was very aggressive. All my boy bunnies
that I've had, they've been good boys. But Janis was
a be uch m.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Well you heard it here first. Thanks for being part
of the show. Thanks to Tony, Nikki, her bunnies, and
of course Mark Ronner. I'm Andy Reesemeyer. I will see
you back here Monday night at seven pm. Tiffany's in
for me. On Sunday, It's KIM six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (31:52):
App KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Move into this unusually strong storm system overnight, widespread rain
all the way till Sunday, maybe a break in the rain,
and then a chance for some more rain after that,
and hey, after even that, maybe even more rain.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Though that's a little bit of ways away.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We have joining us now, my friend and yours KTLA
meteorologist Via Jimenez, who's monitoring this storm in the KTLA
Weather Center.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Good evening, Via, How did you know?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
How did you know? I was in the weather tenor
right now?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I figured, I know that that's like the most cozy
place to be. And the new LAFD fire chief said
everybody tonight should just stay home, cuddle up and get cozy,
and I hope that that's what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yes, you know, this is just a prelude. We're experiencing
the nice, quiet, easy prelude. I like to call these
rain beneficial rain. They're just nice or gentle. We're not
seeing anything too heavy, and I wish it was this
the entire weekend because it's always really good for our
water year. But man, what comes tomorrow is going to
(01:13):
be a completely different animal. Yeah, we're going to see
some heavy rain, Andy, What can I tell you? I wish,
I wish it was all an exaggeration, but no, Yeah,
you always.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Give it to us straight, which I think is really
important because maybe just perhaps the media has a way
of over selling when it rains in La But you're
telling me is pretty serious. I was just looking at
Santa Barbara County rainfall totals from a Lisel reservoir, looking
at five point six one inches over the last two days.
(01:44):
San Marcos passed up in Santa Barbara County four and
a half four point seven inches. The KT Whitey Tower
looking at four point two seven inches up there.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That's a lot of rain.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
That is a lot of rain. And again we haven't
even really been hit by the hearts up now. The
only caveat to that, Andy, is that Santa Barbara points
north of Santa Barbara got the heavy rain yesterday and
today tomorrow it is going to shift a little bit
(02:17):
and it's actually going to be Ventura and La County
that gets the brunt of it. And then you know,
obviously Orange County Santa Barbara is going to get it,
but they're not going to it doesn't look like they are.
Going to get nearly as much as you know, La
and Ventura County, so well, I mean that was what
(02:38):
we saw yesterday. Today it looks a little bit different.
So because the system is detached from the jet stream,
it's a cutoff low that technically, what that means is
that it's not going to have a steering mechanism, so
it's just going to kind of spin off the coast
and it's so essentially think of it as like almost
dolling out over an area. And that's why we are
going to see anywhere between twelve and twenty four hours
(03:01):
of consistent rain, depending on where you are.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I think one of the.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Good ways to think about this because it's sort of hard,
it's all sort of nebulous. But when you think about this,
is as much rain as we would get in a
whole month, or a whole quarter, a whole season over
the course of just one weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah. Yeah, in some years it's going to be as
much as a whole season. There have been some years
that we barely get anything. So yeah, so it is
very exciting. You know. I do want to say one
thing that I think is really important because you know,
generally when we talk about warnings, watches, and advisories. A
watch is the most benign, then it's an advisory, and
(03:43):
then it's a warning. Well, with this rain event, they
are going to call it a flood watch for the
entire event. And so normally I would say, look, they're
calling it a flood watch, So I wouldn't get that
excited about it, because because if they thought it was
severe or they thought that it was really going to happen,
(04:04):
they would call it a warning, no bones about it.
But they've actually changed the watch that's associated to flooding
and that they keep it a watch for the entire event.
And because of the way the flooding works, what they'll
do is they will wait one to two hours before
(04:28):
they think, based on the gauge ratings that the floods
are actually going to trigger or the mudslides are going
to trigger, and then they'll flip it. Then they'll either
turn it to an advisory or into a warning. So
that is something new that they've done.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, and when do you think we'll see that happen?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
If at all?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Tomorrow? Okay, tomorrow, for for sure. Tomorrow, I am pretty
certain that we will see some mud and debris flows
to some extent tomorrow. It's not tomorrow morning because remember
the rain starts tonight. The rain is it's been raining
all day, so it's been it's had an opportunity to
(05:11):
start saturating. And so even if we don't get a
lot of mud and debris flows with this event next week,
because the ground is already going to be so saturated.
Is what I'm like in the back of my head, going, Okay,
you need to make sure you pay really close attention
to that, yeah, because you know, once the ground gets saturated,
there's like where else is it going to go?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, and I know it's not just the Burnscar areas too,
because you're obviously concerned about that, but you're talking about
any kind of low lying areas where there's flooding. Obviously
we're going to see that areas of Sunland where we
always go to do live shots sun Valley up there,
that part of the north northeastern part of the San
Fernando Valley. But also when you look over towards I
mean I'm assuming the canyons, any other areas, Canyon Roads
(05:57):
to Panca Canyon where it always floods.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Absolutely, yes, those yes, So I'm not just talking about now. Granted,
the Eaton fire, the Palisades fire, and even the Bridge
fire are major places of concern because they're so fresh,
But yeah, I mean we're going to see flooding in
the typical spots, you know, along the sand gabriels, foothills,
you know, even a street with like you know, like
(06:20):
up near like Sierra Madre, up near like Arcadia, Alta Dina,
you know, those really pretty areas where it's hilly and
they're like even there, they're going to see you know,
some you know a little bit of mud and some
debris flows. So yeah, all of that is definitely going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Do you think that there's any concern about like the
spillway by or the wash by, like you know, the
studio city near CBS Radford. I always see that getting
so close to the edge when we have a lot
of rain, but I've never seen that overflow.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
That probably won't happen, right.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I don't think it'll happen. But there's always the.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
First time, That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
There is always a first time. And I know that
is so fascinating to watch. When I used to work
at CBS, we used to like I used to like
to stand out there and watch just you.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Know, so it was fast.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I used to live right right there on Radford, like
across the street from the station, and I would go
out there all the time and you would watch and
you would just see, I mean, because it's la especially,
you just see a bunch of debris, like, oh look,
there's a trash can, there's a refrigerator, there's a there's
a Christmas.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Tree or whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
There's there's a tire, there's a there's you know, all
kinds of and you know, it was kind of funny,
but not funny, you know what I mean, And you
have to make light of things otherwise, you know, you
wind up wanting to jump outside of out of Bill
and wind Bill because it's so depressing. Yeah, I mean,
I know that's terrible, but you know what I.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Mean, Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, I think we're all we're all on the same
page here. It's uh, you know, it's kfi.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
We we got it.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
And I think that, you know, when you talk about
being ready, I am.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I am heartened by the fact that the LAPD says
that they sent people to the individual homes and the
palisades to try to alert people that they needed to
get ready and get out. That evacuation warning went into
effect at eight pm. And like you said, but the
rain coming tonight in the heaviest form, you probably won't
see those those debris flows though you say they probably
(08:13):
will see them, but you won't see them till tomorrow.
So at least they we have a little bit of
a heads up there to get ready and to get out.
But you know, I mean, you got to think all
of that terrain that was impacted by those fires for
years is going to be at risk until you have
vegetation growing there. And I always think about Montecito and
(08:34):
in the Thomas fire, and then a couple months after that,
or maybe a year after that, when the hill just
gave way up to Santy Siedro Ranch and and I
mean people got washed out to see it was a tragedy.
But when you really think about that, you realize that
these fires are not the end of the story, because
(08:55):
there is something else that could happen in that case
was far more deadly.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It's all cause and effect. It's all cause and effect.
It's you know, one thing triggering another one. I just
want to make sure that folks know that we are
going to see periods where we have some very unstable conditions,
and so there are going to be thunderstorms embedded in
some of these cells that come in, and when that happens,
(09:23):
we could see upwards of an inch of rain. Now
keep in mind that the threshold is half an inch
of rain per hour, and once that happens, that's, you know,
where we do have that possibility of you know, the
warnings and the advisories getting issued, because that's when we
(09:44):
could see those mud and debrief flows get triggered because
that's just way too much rain per hour.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And then with the tornado warnings or not warnings, but
like warnings about tornadoes, what's that.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Look like for you?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I just it's a less than zero probability, so they're
talking about it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So you think that we shouldn't be concerned about tornadoes.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
No, I honestly don't think that we should be. You know, Andy,
here's the deal. There are going to be if we
do see any I think there'll be water spouts over
the Pacific Ocean because remember over the Pacific Ocean, there's
nothing to slow winds down. There's nothing to slow winds down.
So once rotation starts, it just goes, but on land
(10:33):
over the continent, it's a little bit more challenging because
you have what it's called friction, and friction is just
basically trees and buildings and light poles and cars and
people and things that slow the momentum of the wind. So,
you know, if we were talking if the winds, if
(10:56):
that was going to be a big part of the
weather story, we would have wind advisories and playing and
I think the closest wind advisory we have is like
up north. So you know, is it the fact that
they described it as well, there's a less than zero
chance that we could have a tornado? Well, what I mean,
what does that even meanero chance? Andy, there's a lessons
(11:19):
a zero chance that I'm gonna get hit by a
bus when I step outside of the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, well we got we also got to tell the
Metro to stop driving their buses through our parking lot.
That's the that's how we we got to start with that. Well, Vera,
I'll tell you what. I thank you so much for
for being here and for helping us through this. I
am way out of time, but thank you for for all. No, no,
you're fine, this is my bad but I think it's
important information and especially if people take this seriously. You're
(11:43):
always such a good voice of reason in this So
I appreciate you. Uh, and we will see you soon
at work for sure, So real quick break. We'll be
back with more show right after this.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Vera Jimenez from KTLA very good.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You're listening to KFI A M six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Love talking to verra verra is uh is so rare.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I think to get somebody who could just tells it
to you straight, because it's all about scare them, shock them.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
So I think she's Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I think she's always always a good a good voice
of reason and omnipresent, omnipresent and omnipotent inescapable.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
She's great, man, she's a legend.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
I don't know her. Is she nice in real life?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Oh my god, she's the sweetest.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
I mean, you're not going to say if she's horrible,
but it is.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I'll tell you what, if I didn't have a good
vibe with her, like I wouldn't try to have her
on the show, you know, I mean all right, Like
she wouldn't if she wasn't cool, she wouldn't do it,
first of all. And secondly, if like she was a jerk,
which she's not, I wouldn't I just wouldn't invite her.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
You know, she seems like she puts in a lot
of airtime.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
She I mean she does.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
She does a lot of work and she's a real scientist,
like she really knows the stuff. And it's funny because,
you know, we talked about this. She taught me how
to do weather, and she was saying when she was
at CBSK Cawn, which was years ago, they really wanted
her to be like science first, and so she was
doing these very complex things and talking about all the
(13:13):
specifics of the trough and the low and the millibars

Speaker 7 (15:23):
Now you have you he heard of this thing called
a colloquialism. It's the Queen's English? Is it the King's English?
Just because the idea is that the queen is no

forth depending on who's an aufer.

takes place in a big shopping mall.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Right, correct, is that where it lies?
Speaker 7 (17:08):
That's right?
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Good?
Speaker 7 (17:09):
In Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Insers once again inasgun Denton.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
That's really a wonderful accent. It's a beautiful it's a
beautiful dialog.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Pennsylvania is going to sue me for that.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
There, All right, Han, time to get out of here.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Buy me Andy Reestmeyer. You can find me at Andy
kt LA. If you'd like to say lo on Instagram.
You could also find us on that iHeartRadio applic for
that talkback function. Nikki, did we figure out how to
play talkbacks yet? Or are we kind of just still
just sort of let them?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I think that's a you problem.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Oh boy, but we took calls. That's a lot.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I can do that one.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, that's easy.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Figure out the cool I could? I can?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
I just have to sit and you know, yeah, put
my sinking poke around something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We were talking about gen Z going back to the mall,
which is funny and I've always felt like I was
a big mall person. That was where we went as kids.
And I'm pretty much smack dab in the middle of
millennial And I guess if the evil that I, as
Nikki said, in my generation foisted upon the world was
(18:26):
that we did not go to the mall enough, and
we killed malls. I don't understand it because I was
there every weekend, the Glendale Mall in Indianapolis. I know
we have another Glendale there, unrelated, just happened to have
the same name. I worked at the Gap. I grew
up at the mall, I really did. And the Netflix
(18:48):
thing with all the activations coming and taking over, what
Netflix doesn't want to tell you is that it makes
a lot of sense because malls are empty. They're cheap,
either them or a Spirit Halloween store better than a
laser tag arena or a mega church. If you see
(19:11):
a mega church opening your mall, your mall is done for.
I was, like I said, working at the Gap when
I was out of high school. I took a gap year,
quite literally, and I had like fifteen minute breaks, and
I couldn't go anywhere because you'd be at the Gap
and then you'd have fifteen minutes and it would take
you ten minutes to get to the food court, so
you'd go up there and then you'd have to stand
(19:32):
in and if the line wasn't long enough, the line
was too long, you just had to bail. I don't
know how many times I stood at a Ciborro waiting
in line so I could get a snack, and then
it's like, well, I just I can't.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm not gonna be able to eat this piece of pizza.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Do you ever get a pretzel?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Any Ann's, Yeah, ani Ns is like the best we
had a Wetzel's, I think at that mall. But any
Ans was like the for sure the premiere pretzel eating
experience at a mall. But it's crazy because I think
about this, right, there was Ciborro, Anie Ann's Metels, Charlie's
Philly Steaks. There was always that weird Tarioki place that
none of those restaurants exist anywhere outside of mall food courts.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
You don't. You don't run into a Cibarro.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
There's no sitting down to Charlie's Phillies Cheese Steaks.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
No. I I saw it like in a David Mammott movie,
William Macy mentioned like going out with his wife to
a Sabarro's, like a special night out out in the town.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And I thought that was a hilarious dig well, and
I didn't know anything. So when I was in high school,
I would go to the mall and get pizza at
the cibarro the sparrow Is it sabarro? What's the I
know it's sb but how do we pronounce it?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
That remains unconfirmed.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, Tony, Tony, do you have an answer for us?
Speaker 11 (20:46):
I mean, if it's Italian, you can always do it
just phonetically. It's just kind of sparrow. So the funny
thing is that I didn't know that that. I mean
I took them at their word, authentic New York pizza. Well,
New York is an Italian so well, but I mean
it's sparrow is, like, you know, that's their thing.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's like authentic New York pies. Got your slice right heres, Maya?
And I thought that that was like, oh, this is
some fine food.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Yeah, so maybe you do have to if it's Italian
ad an extra verb and a hand gesture.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
So it's so borrow. You know you got you got golie?
Yeah hmm you bjo you love a bugoot? We love
a bushoot.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Don't stop with the This is just probably very offensive
to Italians. I'm sorry he is it offensive?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I like an ausy slash yinser slash britt doing an
Italian accent British.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
I'm Ouzzy Kiwi.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
But didn't you live in England?
Speaker 6 (21:51):
That's why my accent is so special.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So great, so special.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Uh well, I think that I like for malls to
come back. Like I said, I I loved malls. I
even wrote a song about malls. I'm gonna make you
listen to it for thirty seconds. Serve time for crimes
in food court, scam samples for a meal.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
They'll drown me in the fountain. At least, I remember
how you steal. We live here in fay Lass under.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Polyester trees, basket in the sky, uptime, recycle.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Whatever, we just sound, We just laugh.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And you cas. I grew up at the Love Malls.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Wow, that was amo.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah you like that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
A little little kind of punkish pop punk from back in.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
The day, very millennial.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's very of my of my era for sure.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Did you used to shop at Hot Topic?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I was not cool enough to shop at Hot Topic.
I feel like those kids were a little like I was.
They would beat me up, you know, like the real
scene kids, the real punks. I was like I was
like in the in the discount rack at the Eddie Bauer.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I don't think real punks shop at hot topic.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, sure, you're right. But in my mind, again, remember
my worldview at this time was very small. It was
very very narrow. I had very little perspective on anything
in life. So that's that's, you know. But but mall's
you know, I think that there's a lot of stuff
that people are doing. There's them all in the I
think it's in Saint Louis that they've changed. Maybe Nashville
(23:52):
they changed it so that the storefronts are now apartments.
That's a crazy concept, you think that's I think.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Well, one of our other board ops lives at a
place like that, at the Burbank Joint up here. You're
up the hill.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Oh yeah, okay, I mean these guys across the street
who live in the Telaria, they live above the Whole Foods.
That seems like the best thing that you could I mean,
can you imagine? It seems dystopian to me. I don't
want that. Well, you don't want love? Is that what
that sounds like? I've been accused of that. What about
living with airplanes?
Speaker 12 (24:29):
At first glance, this neighborhood in Cameron Park looks like
any other suburban community in California. But if you drive down,
Boeing wrote, You'll notice something very different about this neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Sounds like there's a lot of cheeky music going on
in that neighborhood.
Speaker 12 (24:54):
Why are there so many planes here on everyone's front
front lawn?
Speaker 13 (24:58):
Because we're spoiled brats. We get to live with our airplane.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Oh I love this, lady arnt.
Speaker 13 (25:04):
Long, Because we're spoiled brats and we get to live
with our airplane.
Speaker 12 (25:09):
This is Airpark, a suburban community built for pilots. Your guys,
this morning commute, you may just see an airplane in
front of you.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Oh.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
Sure, absolutely, There's several people I know.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
That commute to the Bay Area daily.
Speaker 12 (25:23):
Julie Clark is one of about one hundred and twenty
eight home owners in Airpark, and she's kind of a
legend in the aviation community.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Her airplane.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
After becoming one of the first female commercial airline pilots
in the US, Julie got into aerobatics fourty years ago.
She started the highly successful aerobatics company Julie Clark's air
Show made Airpark her home base.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
You sleep with your airplane basically, not literally, but we
have a hanger's attached storehouse she's finn.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
This is near Sacramento, lle.
Speaker 13 (25:53):
But your hanger, we have a hanger's attached storehouses or
on our property.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Established in the nineteen sixties, Airpark was specifically built for
the needs of pilots, including large lots and even larger
roads big enough for planes to taxi to the neighboring airstrip.
You have to share the road with the planes, or
because the planes have to share the road with the cars.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The planes technically have the right of way, so that's
how it works. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 12 (26:17):
Logan Peterson is called Airpark Home for the better part
of his life. With some guidance from his dad, the
twenty two year old was flying before he was driving,
and even got his commercial pilot's license.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
He bought a plane about a year before I was born,
which was this plane, and then I started flying right
when I was born, started taking lessons at twelve, and
then got my license at seventeen.
Speaker 12 (26:36):
There's about one hundred aircrafts in Airpark, and for the
average homeowner, the noise from those aircraft engines can be
pretty loud, but not for Carl Gremlik.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Yeah, it's amazing. People in near airports complained about noise.
I tell everyone we pay extra for the noise.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
Carl's a former Air Force squadron commander who flew B
fifty two's, one of the military's largest bombers. But he
moved to airpark so he could fly his history Chinese
name chang Warburg with other like minded pilots.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
But it's really fun just being able to sit with
your aeroplane, take it out whenever you want, and then
come back here and just relax and talk to all
the other pilots.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
This is a real sort of down home version of
what John Travolta was doing back in the day. Remember
he had somewhere in Florida where he parked his as
Quantus seven o seven and his golf stream.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
It was one of those things that made you realize
some people just have too much money.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It's like clear.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Water, the community in Cluton near the Scientology Center.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Probably that seems about right. He, by the way, donated
that airplane. He no longer has, the old seven o seven.
The Quanta's play best. Yeah, he's the I love John Travolta.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Have you actually have you met him?
Speaker 8 (27:47):
I didn't meet him, but I worked at the Academy
Awards when he presented the in Memoriam section the year
that my Queen myleis Olivia Newton John Don And I've
watched him do the rehearsals and then I watched him
break down in tears.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Well sure cast live, so oh wow, wow wow wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, I mean he you know, he is a legend
Foreshore the King, very very good. I'm going to find
out how much of those house would cost here in
the Cameron Park Airport district up in Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I've already been looking.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Actually, yeah, how much? How much are they?
Speaker 6 (28:22):
It's actually not too bad.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
I mean they range from like around five hundred thousand
to nearly two million, Yeah, standard for LA prices.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, I mean, but you're in Sacramento, so you're going
to pay a premium.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Is that a bad thing to be in a Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
No, I just think it's less expensive than LA.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
It's very pretty up there.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's gorgeous. Yeah, people, I think that's like a real good,
well kept secret up there.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's not Baker's Field, you know?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Is that a bad name? Is that a bad place?
Bakers Field?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Not our favorite?

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.
