Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, kf I.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app It
Saturdays with Tiffany with Me Tiffany Hobbs until seven o'clock
and then I believe Michael Monks is coming aboard as
usual for his wonderful show. No doubt we'll find out
what's going on in La City proper as Michael Monks
attends all the things, so he'll have the scoop, the
(00:28):
insider scoop on what's going on.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's prom season.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Think for a moment, did you go to your prom,
whether your prom or another prom. Did you attend your
senior prom, a junior prom even or did you watch
a sibling get ready for prom and remember all the
pomp and circumstance, or maybe it was subdued and more
(00:53):
simplistic than that. But prom has become a big deal.
It's a mark of your high school experience. Even if
you choose not to attend, it's something that still happens
around you outside of you, Right, Kayla, do you remember
your prom? Of course I did tell us a little
(01:16):
bit about it. I bought my dress. It was at
the time the most expensive dress I'd ever bought. Radio
money is good, Yeah, high school target money is even better.
Saved up all my paychecks my little four hundred dollars dress,
bawling and it was a really good time. My head
went to a new high school. I transferred, so I
(01:36):
went with a group of girlfriends because day twelve, that's
fun matched up at that point. But Beyonce's single ladies
to go for the floor. We all did, aging myself. Yeah,
we all did the dance and it was it was
a blast. Went to Denny's the next night, I mean
that night and all nighter, all night, all nighter. Skipped
(01:56):
school the next day. Do you remember the feeling leading
up to pro and what you knew you had to
kind of the anticipation of it all.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Were you excited?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Were you I was so excited and I and we
got at my high school. You couldn't get to prompt
too late. I believe the ladiest you get there was
seven thirty or they weren't going to let you in.
I got there after seven thirty, could go like a
nunner that they were so strict. It's like I paid
all this money for the ticket and this dress you're
going to let me in. They tried not to let
me in that I had to get my elder, who
got me in, and then I had to serve two
(02:24):
detentions for being lai from you.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Have to get your elder. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, so but it was so exciting outside of the detention. Okay,
the dancing and the and the freedom of it all
with just people who you're in such structured environments usually
with classes, and you know, you can't have too much fun.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It was.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was a really really good time just partying with
those people. I don't talk to you anymore, ah, which
had a good time, absolutely good memories. Raoul, did you
attend your prom? I did tell us a little bit
about it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
My date cheated on me with one of my best friends.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
This took a time, Okay, story time yeah, yeah, well
you know it just yeah, it had story time.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
At the after party. She cheated Wait, she cheated at
the after party?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yes, but but silver linings because later on somebody was like, hey,
why did you ask her? Anyways, you should have asked me.
I would have gone like what I had a shot
from there. I had the best summer of my life.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I got to sit your cry I didn't.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I didn't because it was like, well, I've always seen
that as somebody's doing you a favor, taking out the trash. Okay,
you know any one, I've always thought that, you know.
So I was like, my buddy was like I'm sorry,
I'm I'm like, don't worry about it. He's like, punched
me in the face. I'm like, I'm not gonna punch
it in the face.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know the saying I'm not going to say it here,
but the sayings bros. Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So I was.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I got over it.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I got over it so quick, and like I said,
instantly that that karma kicked back in.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It sounds like a scene from The Outsider or something,
you know.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
But that happened. That's that was my prom experience. All right?
Did you do the text and the whole thing? Did
it was? It was up to that point? It was great.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Up to that point. Yeah, it was great, Brigida prom.
Do you remember your prom? And you're not mean to
say it like that like you're old, You're not at all.
I remember your PROMA about the same exactly in a while,
but uh.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Easy, I wasn't cool. So I wish someone wanted to
cheat on me or even go with me.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh my goodness, girlfriends didn't go to a group of friends.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I mean I did go with friends, but well, I
don't know. Okay, it wasn't that cool for me. That's fine.
I didn't peak in high school. I'm cool looking. No never,
I think that's what she said.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
If you've seen Brigitta, I think she's has ever had
a funny looking Oh no.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I did.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Oh never the caterpillar before the beautiful buttle butterfly.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Butterfly's not She's like, no, Okay, though I didn't peak
in high school, I'm happy about it, like I'm peaking now.
That's what it is. Go girl. Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So maybe your prom experience was varied, like what the
answers have been thus far.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Mine was fun. I remember the anxiety.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I remember, you know, the all of everything, the preparation,
the we went downtown to get my dress, didn't find
a dress downtown, got the material, found my best friend's mom,
who's a seamstress, who said, you know, i'll make your dress.
So she ended up making my best friend's mom the
dresses for three of us, her daughter, another best friend,
and myself. So we had these custom dresses that were
(05:30):
like one p fifty in total, got our shoes from somewhere,
and then it was the idea of Okay, the date.
I had a boyfriend at the time. He rented a car,
a Chrysler three hundred. This is in two thousand and one,
so you know, this is a very long time ago.
We're talking about ancient history. But Prom was a cornerstone
(05:51):
of my high school experience. I don't remember much of Prom,
the actual dance, but I remember leading up to Prom,
and I remember the feeling after Prom. I'm one of
those people who can say they won Prom Queen. I
was elected Prom Queen. I still have my crown. So
(06:12):
you know what it popularity contest.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You can tell you about their pasture. Yeah, I think
you get prom.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I was nice to everyone, so it was like a
conciliatory vote. They felt compelled and obligated to vote for me.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'll leave it at that. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I went up against the main cheerleader, and I'm happy
I won because she was a mean girl.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
So I went over the meaner, right goodness.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Goodness always prevails, Okay, So Prom is a big deal.
Prom didn't always start off this way. Prom actually was
originally just short for promenade, just meant a formal, organized march.
The first proms were held in the late eighteen hundreds
and early nineteen hundreds in colleges, so they were a
(06:56):
college event and they were held to teach young men
and young women proper etiquette. Can you imagine proper etiquette?
They were often held these first proms in the school gym,
and the kids or the young men and women wore
their very best. They dressed like they were going to church.
The dances or the events were chaperone by teachers and
(07:18):
other adults like parents, and the dances no single ladies
dances there. They were doing waltzes and other formal dances.
Through the twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, prom evolved into more
of what we see today. Music had a big part
in that. As the music changed and became more upbeaten
(07:39):
less formal, so did prom. Prom was also opened up
to high school students, wasn't just for college any longer,
and eventually it went away completely from the college campus
and was held strictly on high school campuses. Even opening
proms up to lower grades like the juniors, the eleventh graders.
(07:59):
That's where junior prom comes from. But the music again
of the forties and fifties into the sixties and seventies
really helped transform prom from more formal, stuffy, traditional dances
and events to fun themed parties for these high school
students to partake in.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
In the eighties, excess, lots of excess.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Prom was all about being the biggest and the best.
The bigger the hair, the brighter the dress, the bigger
the dress. If you've seen some old eighties prom pictures
some of you have those in your stash, then you
know the eighties was all about excess. You also had
romantic ballads, go away. Kids wanted upbeat dance music, and
(08:44):
the prom playlist was born, collections of songs specifically chosen
for prom.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
When we come back, we're going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The nineties and into the two thousands and currently what
prom has become, as well as the new overwhelming average
cost of a prom. So if you have a kid
and you're thinking about putting away some money for their prom,
you might want to do that now because it's practically
like a junior wedding at this point and in some
(09:16):
cases if you take it there, but regardless, it is
a fun experience for all.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So I'll tell you more about that. Quick shout out
to Ramone.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Cortinez High School as they head to their senior prom tonight.
Zeke and everyone there, enjoy yourselves, have a great, great,
great time, be safe, and I'll come back with more
prom details in our deeper Dive segment.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
On the other side of the.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Break, it's KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the OKA.
Oh my goodness on the iHeartRadio app, saying a KFI
radio app. It's the same thing I'm excited about PROM.
I feel like I'm there.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Haha,
I got the tag right that time, Kayla. You know
we're talking about prom 'or in our deeper Dives segment,
and I gave you a quick overview of the history
of PROM. It started off as a way to teach
young men and women proper etiquette back in the twenties
and thirties, and it evolved along with music. As music
(10:24):
evolved and became less formal, less traditional, so did prom
and prom originally started as an event for college students,
then turned into an event for high school students, mirroring
much of what we see today. So the eighties excess,
big hair, big ball gowns, bright colors. Look back in
(10:47):
your old albums. I'm sure you have a great prom
picture in there, probably that you might want to keep buried.
But I love looking at the pictures from the eighties
because they look like they're having so much fun. And
then you have the nineties grunge music, alternative music, you
have rap, you have all sorts of music.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Also, in the sixties, integration, so we had integrated proms
as well.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Before then they were divided.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Back to the nineties, boys were ditching the suits and
ties for flannel and jeans, and girls were wearing slip
dresses and combat boots. Everyone looked like they were out
of a Dilia's catalog or Deliah Deliah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
However you said it, I forget one.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Of those catalogs we used to get as kids that
were mirroring what was going on in the nineties. But
that's what colored that decade. And Raoul said that his
prom was way back in the nineteen hundreds, nineteen ninety one,
and he was telling us off air and I said,
how can you even remember saying? Is how the mind
goes after a few years? Yeah, Raoul, nineteen ninety one.
(11:55):
They had proms back then.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yes, our car we had the pedal a few four
there was a hole in the ground and we peddled.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Absolute bathroom out back as well.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Raoul, Well, that's literally the year I was born, Like
I'm grown as heck.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Now it could have been conceived at your prom.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I could.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I see the resemblance slightly.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
The two thousands were all about technology, the transition in
technology and fashion.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
That was a lot of fun. You got your phones.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That became a big part of prom, people taking out
their phones and looking at social media, posting every bit
of their prom experience. They wanted to look their best,
so image became something that was pressured, pressured, lots of
pressure to look perfect. And since the two thousands and beyond,
(12:48):
prom continues to evolve. Trends come and go depending on
who you ask and where you are, and prom also
has become more inclusive.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I know a lot of people don't like that word,
but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Prom is inclusive and everyone is invited and although prom
is different may look different than it did in the past,
it continues to be an important rite of passage for
many high school students. However, in talking about inclusivity, prom
(13:21):
can be exclusive because the cost of prom has ballooned.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
It has ballooned.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Now a prom can be held for about fifty thousand dollars.
That is the average cost of holding a prom at
a high school. That is DJ photo book, booth, schools, chaperones, food,
reserving a venue. And that's an average venue. If you
(13:50):
think fifty thousand dollars is a lot, then let's break
it down. We're talking about cost of ticket as well.
Tickets went up from say forty fifty dollars to eighty
five dollars per ticket on average. Seniors are forking out
lots of money to attend these proms. And when it
comes to tuxedos and dresses, the average tucks can be
(14:13):
anywhere from eighty five for a rent at tuxedo to
seven hundred if you're going all out, and that doesn't
include shoes.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Shoes can be.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Open two hundred dollars depending as well. For young ladies,
dresses can be anywhere from one point fifty three hundred,
five hundred, and some go as far as getting into
the thousand dollars range, depending on customization and where the
dress has come from.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That does not include shoes and jewelry. The car that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Is a rental for sure in many cases. After Prom,
there's all these things about prom and prom is now.
So if you are experiencing prom, your child, your loved one,
and you are out there this weekend or next as
we are in prom season, enjoy yourself, have a great time,
watch your etiquette, because that's how it started, if you
(15:09):
want to pay homage to how prom started. But first
and foremost, remember the moment. It goes by very quickly.
So again shout out to Ramone, Cortinez High School, m
and Zeke.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Have a great time. All right.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
On the other side of the break, we are going
to continue with Saturdays with Tiffany. As we start to
kind of have the show come to a close, we're
going to talk about some what in the world news?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
What in the world news.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
We're going to start with a hippo attack in Africa,
a hippo that unfortunately killed a woman and the man.
The husband is suing the booking company. I'll tell you
about that and also about a nudist beach and people
that are very upset in the UK that people at
this nudist beach are having.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
L sex on the beach. We'll talk about that when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You're listening to kfi ams on demand k if I.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's
Saturdays with Tiffany here until seven, and then Michael Monks
comes aboard. He's trying to figure out how to kind
of work the lyrics of this into the next story
that it's from the way back in the nineties. I
was alive back then, but I was far behind you
(16:24):
in my development At that time, far far, far far
away from the hippo was a lunatic, the hip k lo.
This is why you get the big radio butts. It
can pay the ipick movies. Yes, me, that's why. So
let's just get to it talking about this lunatic hippo.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Perfect segue.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Well, if you've ever gone on a safari, you've ever
watched National Geographic, you've.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Ever played Hungry, Hungry.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Hippo, then you might be of the few people who
know that hippos are considered as b being the most dangerous,
the most violent, the most brutal animal probably in the world,
to be honest, given their strength and their very temperamental attitude.
(17:14):
So if you find yourself on a safari or at
a place where hippos are, and you are near that hippo,
you probably want to get as far away from the
animal animals as possible. And unfortunately, the next story talks
about a woman who did not do that. Not victim
(17:36):
blaming or shaming, but it is a consequence of being
up close and personal with nature, as these safaris allow
you to be.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
That's the draw.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
We're going to put you in an open air car, jeep, van, wagon, something,
and you're going to drive through a protected reserve where
animals are allowed to roam freely, and if you're lucky,
these animals will come close enough for you to get
a good picture. Well, in this case, animal got too close.
So what happened. There's a man from New Jersey. His
(18:08):
name is Craig Manders, and he took his wife Lisa
Manders on a safari in Africa last year.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Everything was going fine.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
They were getting their pictures, they were getting their selfies,
they were seeing all the beautiful animals that the safari
had to offer. But unfortunately, as they were on the
safari in the Zambia in June of last year, they
were close to a pack of hippos. It's more than
one hippo. Hippos, hungry, hungry hippos. The game hippos. There
(18:43):
we go thing hipp I, no hippos. And as they
were close to these hippos, one of the hippos charged
out of the water where it was grabbed Lisa the
wife by or with its mouth and crushed her head
(19:03):
and body with one bite or multiple bites. Okay, again,
these are very temperamental, very violent, very aggressive animals when provoked,
and something in this situation provoked the hippo to act
this way, resulting in it grabbing Lisa in a very
(19:25):
unexpected spontaneous moment, and it bitter, it bitter head, and
it bit her body and that bite impact crushed her
and she unfortunately died. Craig Manders, the husband, watched the
attack happen along with the tour guides, and Craig says
(19:46):
in a lawsuit that he filed this previous February.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That these tour guides were armed.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
At least one of the tour guides was armed with
a rifle but watched the attack happen without involving himself
or herself, did not use the rifle to subdue the
hippo at the time. And that's what the lawsuit includes
(20:13):
in the language that they walked away these tour guides
without helping Lisa, who suffered catastrophic injuries and died shortly after.
So the group, the Safari company, is called African Portfolio,
and they are denying the lawsuit's' allegations. Now, the attorney
(20:39):
who's representing the husband, Craig Manders, says, quote, we're doing
this because this should have never happened. He goes on
to say there are basic safety standards that businesses are
expected to follow, and that includes people in the safari
tour industry, and those were not follow those basic safety
(21:02):
standards and the consequences here were absolutely devastating. The lawsuit
filed by the husband, Craig Manders, seeks monetary damages that
haven't yet been disclosed or determined, as well as accountability
by the Safari company African Portfolio, saying that they are
(21:24):
in fact responsible for Lisa Mander's death and keeping others
safe in the future. Currently, Craig Manders husband is not
giving any interviews and I don't think anyone can blame them.
He's speaking through his attorney. This was devastating. Was only
one year ago, and some sad background about his wife.
(21:46):
She loved traveling, she loved cooking. She was born in Queens.
I was born in Queens. She loved animals. I love animals.
There are parallels. I think a lot of us, if
given the opportunity to see an animal at a safe
distance that we might have marveled about or been curious about,
would take the opportunity. That's why zoos exist, That's why
(22:08):
safaris exist in aquariums as well. The couple together had
three children and one granddaughter. African Portfolio arranged the couple's
lodging and also provided the tour guides. They said, it's
a horrible tragedy when somebody goes on one of these
(22:29):
trips and is injured or killed. I think it's important
to understand that African Portfolio's role is in this. It's
a tour operator. It arranges trips, it puts together the pieces.
They went on to say, my client didn't conduct the safari,
it arranged it, It booked all the components. So what
(22:50):
that is implying is we were the coordinators African Safari,
but we were not the ones out there and we
did not put Lisa Mander in harm's way. But the
result is that this woman, this poor woman, suffered fear,
emotional pain, suffering physical pain and ultimately death and her
(23:12):
husband watched all of this happened happen. So again a
lawsuit is seeking damages and their allegations of negligence and recklessness.
I'm sure they do not want the Safari company to
stay in effect, they want them to be dismantled, They
want them to discontinue this sort of Safari access. When
(23:36):
we come back, we're going to talk about nudity. Boom
chicka wowow, but probably not the kind of nudity you want,
Probably not the kind of.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Nudity you want to see.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
But there are people in a seaside town in the
UK who are saying that they are being forced to
see this nudity. And not just nudity, they are also
being forced to watch couples engaging in a little what well, wow,
are you clapping Kyla doing there? A little bit of
(24:11):
I don't think that's appropriate. I think back Jesus, all right,
why would.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You do that? It's a family show. We'll talk about
that when we come back.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's Saturdays with Tiffany.
Speaker 1 (24:24):

Speaker 2 (24:28):
If I AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
It's Saturdays with Tiffany.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Here for one more segment till seven o'clock and Michael
Monks will be joining us soon to tell us what's
going on on his awesome show. But before we get
into that, Raoul hit it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Well.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
There's a beautiful seaside town in the UK and this sea,
this beautiful beach that is frequented by people has also
been known to be a new beach and the nudity
isn't the problem as much as the sex is the problem.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Let me tell you what's going on.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Locals are blasting nudists who openly have sex on this
popular UK beach. Disgruntled residents say that people are stripping
off their clothes at Quortan Beach near Lostaft in Suffolk.
They've put up an official warning sign. A few weeks ago,
but it's been mysteriously taken down.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
The holiday hot spot.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Fronts a retirement village retirement village, and people say they
are fed up. Local Steve Shepherd sixty eight says it's
no longer safe to take children. They have to play
on the beach. That's my UK accent. That was very good,
he says. It's started about three years ago and it's
(25:56):
got wass every year since since since they wrote sentence twice.
I was with my two and three year old grandchildren
last summer and there were naked men deliberately showing off
and flaunting themselves and touching themselves and rubbing themselves on things.
The retirement community, the azor Sees Village, has one hundred
holiday and permanent cabins and it overlooks the beach directly,
(26:20):
giving a direct access like visual access to the actual area.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
The sales manager Dunkin Gooch.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Dunkin Gooch says that it's got nothing to do with
nudity whatsoever. It's the behavior of some who go there
and who who think it's okay to indulge in lude
and sexual proclivities on the beach openly in front of
other people.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Not the best statement from a guy named Gooch. The
Gooch doesn't like its.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
The GoJ The Gooch says, new more nudity unless it's
with me, rubbish little Toto, rubbish bullocks. Thank you, Raoul,
you can keep it on. Keep it on for Michael Monks. O, Hi,
Michael Monks.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
What's all this thing?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I know?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Darling? Cool?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Right?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And that chip chip Cherio. Somebody in the UK is
really gonna let you have it on your We're gonna
get some letters. We're gonna get some letters.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
So do you like a nude beach? Never, that's not
the question I was going to ask you. No, Now
I feel like I have You'll never catch me at
one of those.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
The people you go and see at nude beaches aren't
the people you want to see.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Well, it's not even my own insecurities, it's just you know,
I've been to Palm Springs at a place where it's
kind of optional if you want to, and I'm like why.
I mean, people are taking business calls with their wang
flopping around, and I just think that's so unnecessary. You know,
it's not necessary.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
The gooch is and their wings. Yeah, the Lord invented
clothes for a reason.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, you know, I happened upon a nude beach on accident. Really,
that's not fun. That's then, and I was a child,
and that was even less fun because then the questions
come up, you know, other things were up as well,
and it just wasn't a good line.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
It wasn't a good time.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I got quickly away from that. Your family radio station.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It is, it is, but the gooch said we must
talk about it. Michael Mark's really quick. Tell me a
little bit about your prom experience.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Well, like Raoul, I was also at prom in the
nineteen hundreds, Oh, the late nineteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm a little younger. I got to go as a
junior in nineteen ninety seven. Oh, Raoul, you're ancient.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, and then as a senior in a nineteen ninety
And you know what's funny. This hoodie I have on
today is actually it says Scott Eagles on it. That's
my high school. Oh is that lame or what? It's
not lame at all?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Lame.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yeah, it's lame present in Taylor Mill, Kentucky. That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean this isn't from that era. Okay,
this doesn't have the guilt fear the shame. This is
my nephew and niece go there now, so.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
That it's not lame. It's nice. Is that what your
prom had? Guilt shame? Thanks.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Look when you go to high school in suburban Kentucky
outside of Cincinnati, it's you know, you're pretty lame.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh ever, the butterfly, Yeah, it was a good time.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I loved high school.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I was class president, but I was not very socially
you know, involved parties and that, like, you know, never
really mind.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I was a student body president, and you would think that.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You would think that we would be super socially involved
in partying.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
No, we're too busy.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
We're good at getting people to respect us or thinking
I don't want to do it, let this loser do Exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
We were the narks exactly. Oh, I was definitely a nark.
Were you prompting? Because Tiffany was also promised me.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
I desperately wanted to be that kind of student, you
know that like would be homecoming king, they'll be celebrated
by the student body. So winning class president was the
closest I got to that. I was never that cool.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
You're our homecoming king? Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Can I have a sash okay, that's the family show.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yes, really quick though.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, some students are really lucky because Steve Carrella actually
just announced that he is donating eight hundred tickets to
the policies in the high school students that have been
impacted by the fires. So he's buying their prom tickets.
Who's so lovely.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So our Gene Haney, who we had on the very
first segment, our very first guest today, will be a
recipient of that. So congratulations to them. They deserve it.
They do it to tell us about your show. Big
show coming up. Obviously, we're going to dissect what's going
on at La City Hall.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
They got no money and we heard from the public
yesterday for the first time about Mayerbass's budget and they're
not happy about these cuts. Layoffs, big time cuts to
services that you care about. Will dive into that. We've
also got a big protest march happening in the West
Side to head tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It's going to be in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills. They're
expecting drama, a little bit of drama.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
They're preparing for the worst, hoping for the best kind
of situation. We'll talk about that. I got Senator Adam
Schiff joining us in the eight o'clock hour. He's been
back home here, was in the studio with us here
at KFI to talk a bit about what he's doing
in Washington, and so we'll have that as well, coming
up on Michael Mounk's reports Washington.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You Midwestern Washington, sounds like a fantastic show.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Should be fun. Good air to you, sir, It's.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Been a blast thing everyone for hanging out. You can
check me out on Instagram at tiff hobbs On here
at tiff hobbs On here. I would love to continue
the conversation. I think one person got really upset and said,
how dare I compare apples to oranges reserves and safaris
(31:19):
to to what was it to aquariums? And Zeus wasn't
making making a lateral comparison. I was saying, we go
and look at animals wherever they are in these protected spaces.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's what I said.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Funny when people can't think out the box, they're the
ones that's limited in intelligence, Yet they want to get
you know, rowdy on the talk backs, like oh you know,
you're the one that's lacking intelligence because they're thinking in
a certain way that they're limited thinking.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Doesn't Yeah, it's just it's just wild.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's just it's just wild like safaris and sometimes zoos
can be whe and aquarium and aquarium. Okay, have a
fantastic rest of your weekend. Again, if you are going
to prom enjoy, be safe. Cheers to everyone. I'll see
you next Saturday, right here in the Big Chair on
KFI AM six forty live.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (32:06):
App KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, kf I.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app It
Saturdays with Tiffany with Me Tiffany Hobbs until seven o'clock
and then I believe Michael Monks is coming aboard as
usual for his wonderful show. No doubt we'll find out
what's going on in La City proper as Michael Monks
attends all the things, so he'll have the scoop, the
(00:28):
insider scoop on what's going on.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's prom season.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Think for a moment, did you go to your prom,
whether your prom or another prom. Did you attend your
senior prom, a junior prom even or did you watch
a sibling get ready for prom and remember all the
pomp and circumstance, or maybe it was subdued and more
(00:53):
simplistic than that. But prom has become a big deal.
It's a mark of your high school experience. Even if
you choose not to attend, it's something that still happens
around you outside of you, Right, Kayla, do you remember
your prom? Of course I did tell us a little
(01:16):
bit about it. I bought my dress. It was at
the time the most expensive dress I'd ever bought. Radio
money is good, Yeah, high school target money is even better.
Saved up all my paychecks my little four hundred dollars dress,
bawling and it was a really good time. My head
went to a new high school. I transferred, so I
(01:36):
went with a group of girlfriends because day twelve, that's
fun matched up at that point. But Beyonce's single ladies
to go for the floor. We all did, aging myself. Yeah,
we all did the dance and it was it was
a blast. Went to Denny's the next night, I mean
that night and all nighter, all night, all nighter. Skipped
(01:56):
school the next day. Do you remember the feeling leading
up to pro and what you knew you had to
kind of the anticipation of it all.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Were you excited?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Were you I was so excited and I and we
got at my high school. You couldn't get to prompt
too late. I believe the ladiest you get there was
seven thirty or they weren't going to let you in.
I got there after seven thirty, could go like a
nunner that they were so strict. It's like I paid
all this money for the ticket and this dress you're
going to let me in. They tried not to let
me in that I had to get my elder, who
got me in, and then I had to serve two
(02:24):
detentions for being lai from you.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Have to get your elder. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, so but it was so exciting outside of the detention. Okay,
the dancing and the and the freedom of it all
with just people who you're in such structured environments usually
with classes, and you know, you can't have too much fun.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It was.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was a really really good time just partying with
those people. I don't talk to you anymore, ah, which
had a good time, absolutely good memories. Raoul, did you
attend your prom? I did tell us a little bit
about it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
My date cheated on me with one of my best friends.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
This took a time, Okay, story time yeah, yeah, well
you know it just yeah, it had story time.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
At the after party. She cheated Wait, she cheated at
the after party?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yes, but but silver linings because later on somebody was like, hey,
why did you ask her? Anyways, you should have asked me.
I would have gone like what I had a shot
from there. I had the best summer of my life.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I got to sit your cry I didn't.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I didn't because it was like, well, I've always seen
that as somebody's doing you a favor, taking out the trash. Okay,
you know any one, I've always thought that, you know.
So I was like, my buddy was like I'm sorry,
I'm I'm like, don't worry about it. He's like, punched
me in the face. I'm like, I'm not gonna punch
it in the face.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know the saying I'm not going to say it here,
but the sayings bros. Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So I was.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I got over it.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I got over it so quick, and like I said,
instantly that that karma kicked back in.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It sounds like a scene from The Outsider or something,
you know.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
But that happened. That's that was my prom experience. All right?
Did you do the text and the whole thing? Did
it was? It was up to that point? It was great.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Up to that point. Yeah, it was great, Brigida prom.
Do you remember your prom? And you're not mean to
say it like that like you're old, You're not at all.
I remember your PROMA about the same exactly in a while,
but uh.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Easy, I wasn't cool. So I wish someone wanted to
cheat on me or even go with me.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh my goodness, girlfriends didn't go to a group of friends.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I mean I did go with friends, but well, I
don't know. Okay, it wasn't that cool for me. That's fine.
I didn't peak in high school. I'm cool looking. No never,
I think that's what she said.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
If you've seen Brigitta, I think she's has ever had
a funny looking Oh no.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I did.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Oh never the caterpillar before the beautiful buttle butterfly.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Butterfly's not She's like, no, Okay, though I didn't peak
in high school, I'm happy about it, like I'm peaking now.
That's what it is. Go girl. Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So maybe your prom experience was varied, like what the
answers have been thus far.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Mine was fun. I remember the anxiety.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I remember, you know, the all of everything, the preparation,
the we went downtown to get my dress, didn't find
a dress downtown, got the material, found my best friend's mom,
who's a seamstress, who said, you know, i'll make your dress.
So she ended up making my best friend's mom the
dresses for three of us, her daughter, another best friend,
and myself. So we had these custom dresses that were
(05:30):
like one p fifty in total, got our shoes from somewhere,
and then it was the idea of Okay, the date.
I had a boyfriend at the time. He rented a car,
a Chrysler three hundred. This is in two thousand and one,
so you know, this is a very long time ago.
We're talking about ancient history. But Prom was a cornerstone
(05:51):
of my high school experience. I don't remember much of Prom,
the actual dance, but I remember leading up to Prom,
and I remember the feeling after Prom. I'm one of
those people who can say they won Prom Queen. I
was elected Prom Queen. I still have my crown. So
(06:12):
you know what it popularity contest.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You can tell you about their pasture. Yeah, I think
you get prom.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I was nice to everyone, so it was like a
conciliatory vote. They felt compelled and obligated to vote for me.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'll leave it at that. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I went up against the main cheerleader, and I'm happy
I won because she was a mean girl.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
So I went over the meaner, right goodness.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Goodness always prevails, Okay, So Prom is a big deal.
Prom didn't always start off this way. Prom actually was
originally just short for promenade, just meant a formal, organized march.
The first proms were held in the late eighteen hundreds
and early nineteen hundreds in colleges, so they were a
(06:56):
college event and they were held to teach young men
and young women proper etiquette. Can you imagine proper etiquette?
They were often held these first proms in the school gym,
and the kids or the young men and women wore
their very best. They dressed like they were going to church.
The dances or the events were chaperone by teachers and
(07:18):
other adults like parents, and the dances no single ladies
dances there. They were doing waltzes and other formal dances.
Through the twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, prom evolved into more
of what we see today. Music had a big part
in that. As the music changed and became more upbeaten
(07:39):
less formal, so did prom. Prom was also opened up
to high school students, wasn't just for college any longer,
and eventually it went away completely from the college campus
and was held strictly on high school campuses. Even opening
proms up to lower grades like the juniors, the eleventh graders.
(07:59):
That's where junior prom comes from. But the music again
of the forties and fifties into the sixties and seventies
really helped transform prom from more formal, stuffy, traditional dances
and events to fun themed parties for these high school
students to partake in.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
In the eighties, excess, lots of excess.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Prom was all about being the biggest and the best.
The bigger the hair, the brighter the dress, the bigger
the dress. If you've seen some old eighties prom pictures
some of you have those in your stash, then you
know the eighties was all about excess. You also had
romantic ballads, go away. Kids wanted upbeat dance music, and
(08:44):
the prom playlist was born, collections of songs specifically chosen
for prom.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
When we come back, we're going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The nineties and into the two thousands and currently what
prom has become, as well as the new overwhelming average
cost of a prom. So if you have a kid
and you're thinking about putting away some money for their prom,
you might want to do that now because it's practically
like a junior wedding at this point and in some
(09:16):
cases if you take it there, but regardless, it is
a fun experience for all.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So I'll tell you more about that. Quick shout out
to Ramone.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Cortinez High School as they head to their senior prom tonight.
Zeke and everyone there, enjoy yourselves, have a great, great,
great time, be safe, and I'll come back with more
prom details in our deeper Dive segment.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
On the other side of the.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Break, it's KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the OKA.
Oh my goodness on the iHeartRadio app, saying a KFI
radio app. It's the same thing I'm excited about PROM.
I feel like I'm there.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Haha,
I got the tag right that time, Kayla. You know
we're talking about prom 'or in our deeper Dives segment,
and I gave you a quick overview of the history
of PROM. It started off as a way to teach
young men and women proper etiquette back in the twenties
and thirties, and it evolved along with music. As music
(10:24):
evolved and became less formal, less traditional, so did prom
and prom originally started as an event for college students,
then turned into an event for high school students, mirroring
much of what we see today. So the eighties excess,
big hair, big ball gowns, bright colors. Look back in
(10:47):
your old albums. I'm sure you have a great prom
picture in there, probably that you might want to keep buried.
But I love looking at the pictures from the eighties
because they look like they're having so much fun. And
then you have the nineties grunge music, alternative music, you
have rap, you have all sorts of music.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Also, in the sixties, integration, so we had integrated proms
as well.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Before then they were divided.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Back to the nineties, boys were ditching the suits and
ties for flannel and jeans, and girls were wearing slip
dresses and combat boots. Everyone looked like they were out
of a Dilia's catalog or Deliah Deliah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
However you said it, I forget one.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Of those catalogs we used to get as kids that
were mirroring what was going on in the nineties. But
that's what colored that decade. And Raoul said that his
prom was way back in the nineteen hundreds, nineteen ninety one,
and he was telling us off air and I said,
how can you even remember saying? Is how the mind
goes after a few years? Yeah, Raoul, nineteen ninety one.
(11:55):
They had proms back then.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yes, our car we had the pedal a few four
there was a hole in the ground and we peddled.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Absolute bathroom out back as well.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Raoul, Well, that's literally the year I was born, Like
I'm grown as heck.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Now it could have been conceived at your prom.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I could.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I see the resemblance slightly.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
The two thousands were all about technology, the transition in
technology and fashion.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
That was a lot of fun. You got your phones.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That became a big part of prom, people taking out
their phones and looking at social media, posting every bit
of their prom experience. They wanted to look their best,
so image became something that was pressured, pressured, lots of
pressure to look perfect. And since the two thousands and beyond,
(12:48):
prom continues to evolve. Trends come and go depending on
who you ask and where you are, and prom also
has become more inclusive.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I know a lot of people don't like that word,
but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Prom is inclusive and everyone is invited and although prom
is different may look different than it did in the past,
it continues to be an important rite of passage for
many high school students. However, in talking about inclusivity, prom
(13:21):
can be exclusive because the cost of prom has ballooned.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
It has ballooned.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Now a prom can be held for about fifty thousand dollars.
That is the average cost of holding a prom at
a high school. That is DJ photo book, booth, schools, chaperones, food,
reserving a venue. And that's an average venue. If you
(13:50):
think fifty thousand dollars is a lot, then let's break
it down. We're talking about cost of ticket as well.
Tickets went up from say forty fifty dollars to eighty
five dollars per ticket on average. Seniors are forking out
lots of money to attend these proms. And when it
comes to tuxedos and dresses, the average tucks can be
(14:13):
anywhere from eighty five for a rent at tuxedo to
seven hundred if you're going all out, and that doesn't
include shoes.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Shoes can be.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Open two hundred dollars depending as well. For young ladies,
dresses can be anywhere from one point fifty three hundred,
five hundred, and some go as far as getting into
the thousand dollars range, depending on customization and where the
dress has come from.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That does not include shoes and jewelry. The car that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Is a rental for sure in many cases. After Prom,
there's all these things about prom and prom is now.
So if you are experiencing prom, your child, your loved one,
and you are out there this weekend or next as
we are in prom season, enjoy yourself, have a great time,
watch your etiquette, because that's how it started, if you
(15:09):
want to pay homage to how prom started. But first
and foremost, remember the moment. It goes by very quickly.
So again shout out to Ramone, Cortinez High School, m
and Zeke.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Have a great time. All right.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
On the other side of the break, we are going
to continue with Saturdays with Tiffany. As we start to
kind of have the show come to a close, we're
going to talk about some what in the world news?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
What in the world news.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
We're going to start with a hippo attack in Africa,
a hippo that unfortunately killed a woman and the man.
The husband is suing the booking company. I'll tell you
about that and also about a nudist beach and people
that are very upset in the UK that people at
this nudist beach are having.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
L sex on the beach. We'll talk about that when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You're listening to kfi ams on demand k if I.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's
Saturdays with Tiffany here until seven, and then Michael Monks
comes aboard. He's trying to figure out how to kind
of work the lyrics of this into the next story
that it's from the way back in the nineties. I
was alive back then, but I was far behind you
(16:24):
in my development At that time, far far, far far
away from the hippo was a lunatic, the hip k lo.
This is why you get the big radio butts. It
can pay the ipick movies. Yes, me, that's why. So
let's just get to it talking about this lunatic hippo.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Perfect segue.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Well, if you've ever gone on a safari, you've ever
watched National Geographic, you've.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Ever played Hungry, Hungry.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Hippo, then you might be of the few people who
know that hippos are considered as b being the most dangerous,
the most violent, the most brutal animal probably in the world,
to be honest, given their strength and their very temperamental attitude.
(17:14):
So if you find yourself on a safari or at
a place where hippos are, and you are near that hippo,
you probably want to get as far away from the
animal animals as possible. And unfortunately, the next story talks
about a woman who did not do that. Not victim
(17:36):
blaming or shaming, but it is a consequence of being
up close and personal with nature, as these safaris allow
you to be.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
That's the draw.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
We're going to put you in an open air car, jeep, van, wagon, something,
and you're going to drive through a protected reserve where
animals are allowed to roam freely, and if you're lucky,
these animals will come close enough for you to get
a good picture. Well, in this case, animal got too close.
So what happened. There's a man from New Jersey. His
(18:08):
name is Craig Manders, and he took his wife Lisa
Manders on a safari in Africa last year.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Everything was going fine.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
They were getting their pictures, they were getting their selfies,
they were seeing all the beautiful animals that the safari
had to offer. But unfortunately, as they were on the
safari in the Zambia in June of last year, they
were close to a pack of hippos. It's more than
one hippo. Hippos, hungry, hungry hippos. The game hippos. There
(18:43):
we go thing hipp I, no hippos. And as they
were close to these hippos, one of the hippos charged
out of the water where it was grabbed Lisa the
wife by or with its mouth and crushed her head
(19:03):
and body with one bite or multiple bites. Okay, again,
these are very temperamental, very violent, very aggressive animals when provoked,
and something in this situation provoked the hippo to act
this way, resulting in it grabbing Lisa in a very
(19:25):
unexpected spontaneous moment, and it bitter, it bitter head, and
it bit her body and that bite impact crushed her
and she unfortunately died. Craig Manders, the husband, watched the
attack happen along with the tour guides, and Craig says
(19:46):
in a lawsuit that he filed this previous February.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That these tour guides were armed.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
At least one of the tour guides was armed with
a rifle but watched the attack happen without involving himself
or herself, did not use the rifle to subdue the
hippo at the time. And that's what the lawsuit includes
(20:13):
in the language that they walked away these tour guides
without helping Lisa, who suffered catastrophic injuries and died shortly after.
So the group, the Safari company, is called African Portfolio,
and they are denying the lawsuit's' allegations. Now, the attorney
(20:39):
who's representing the husband, Craig Manders, says, quote, we're doing
this because this should have never happened. He goes on
to say there are basic safety standards that businesses are
expected to follow, and that includes people in the safari
tour industry, and those were not follow those basic safety
(21:02):
standards and the consequences here were absolutely devastating. The lawsuit
filed by the husband, Craig Manders, seeks monetary damages that
haven't yet been disclosed or determined, as well as accountability
by the Safari company African Portfolio, saying that they are
(21:24):
in fact responsible for Lisa Mander's death and keeping others
safe in the future. Currently, Craig Manders husband is not
giving any interviews and I don't think anyone can blame them.
He's speaking through his attorney. This was devastating. Was only
one year ago, and some sad background about his wife.
(21:46):
She loved traveling, she loved cooking. She was born in Queens.
I was born in Queens. She loved animals. I love animals.
There are parallels. I think a lot of us, if
given the opportunity to see an animal at a safe
distance that we might have marveled about or been curious about,
would take the opportunity. That's why zoos exist, That's why
(22:08):
safaris exist in aquariums as well. The couple together had
three children and one granddaughter. African Portfolio arranged the couple's
lodging and also provided the tour guides. They said, it's
a horrible tragedy when somebody goes on one of these
(22:29):
trips and is injured or killed. I think it's important
to understand that African Portfolio's role is in this. It's
a tour operator. It arranges trips, it puts together the pieces.
They went on to say, my client didn't conduct the safari,
it arranged it, It booked all the components. So what
(22:50):
that is implying is we were the coordinators African Safari,
but we were not the ones out there and we
did not put Lisa Mander in harm's way. But the
result is that this woman, this poor woman, suffered fear,
emotional pain, suffering physical pain and ultimately death and her
(23:12):
husband watched all of this happened happen. So again a
lawsuit is seeking damages and their allegations of negligence and recklessness.
I'm sure they do not want the Safari company to
stay in effect, they want them to be dismantled, They
want them to discontinue this sort of Safari access. When
(23:36):
we come back, we're going to talk about nudity. Boom
chicka wowow, but probably not the kind of nudity you want,
Probably not the kind of.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Nudity you want to see.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
But there are people in a seaside town in the
UK who are saying that they are being forced to
see this nudity. And not just nudity, they are also
being forced to watch couples engaging in a little what well, wow,
are you clapping Kyla doing there? A little bit of
(24:11):
I don't think that's appropriate. I think back Jesus, all right,
why would.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You do that? It's a family show. We'll talk about
that when we come back.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Here for one more segment till seven o'clock and Michael
Monks will be joining us soon to tell us what's
going on on his awesome show. But before we get
into that, Raoul hit it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Well.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
There's a beautiful seaside town in the UK and this sea,
this beautiful beach that is frequented by people has also
been known to be a new beach and the nudity
isn't the problem as much as the sex is the problem.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Let me tell you what's going on.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Locals are blasting nudists who openly have sex on this
popular UK beach. Disgruntled residents say that people are stripping
off their clothes at Quortan Beach near Lostaft in Suffolk.
They've put up an official warning sign. A few weeks ago,
but it's been mysteriously taken down.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
The holiday hot spot.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Fronts a retirement village retirement village, and people say they
are fed up. Local Steve Shepherd sixty eight says it's
no longer safe to take children. They have to play
on the beach. That's my UK accent. That was very good,
he says. It's started about three years ago and it's
(25:56):
got wass every year since since since they wrote sentence twice.
I was with my two and three year old grandchildren
last summer and there were naked men deliberately showing off
and flaunting themselves and touching themselves and rubbing themselves on things.
The retirement community, the azor Sees Village, has one hundred
holiday and permanent cabins and it overlooks the beach directly,
(26:20):
giving a direct access like visual access to the actual area.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
The sales manager Dunkin Gooch.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Dunkin Gooch says that it's got nothing to do with
nudity whatsoever. It's the behavior of some who go there
and who who think it's okay to indulge in lude
and sexual proclivities on the beach openly in front of
other people.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Not the best statement from a guy named Gooch. The
Gooch doesn't like its.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
The GoJ The Gooch says, new more nudity unless it's
with me, rubbish little Toto, rubbish bullocks. Thank you, Raoul,
you can keep it on. Keep it on for Michael Monks. O, Hi,
Michael Monks.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
What's all this thing?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I know?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Darling? Cool?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Right?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And that chip chip Cherio. Somebody in the UK is
really gonna let you have it on your We're gonna
get some letters. We're gonna get some letters.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
So do you like a nude beach? Never, that's not
the question I was going to ask you. No, Now
I feel like I have You'll never catch me at
one of those.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
The people you go and see at nude beaches aren't
the people you want to see.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Well, it's not even my own insecurities, it's just you know,
I've been to Palm Springs at a place where it's
kind of optional if you want to, and I'm like why.
I mean, people are taking business calls with their wang
flopping around, and I just think that's so unnecessary. You know,
it's not necessary.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
The gooch is and their wings. Yeah, the Lord invented
clothes for a reason.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, you know, I happened upon a nude beach on accident. Really,
that's not fun. That's then, and I was a child,
and that was even less fun because then the questions
come up, you know, other things were up as well,
and it just wasn't a good line.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
It wasn't a good time.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I got quickly away from that. Your family radio station.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It is, it is, but the gooch said we must
talk about it. Michael Mark's really quick. Tell me a
little bit about your prom experience.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Well, like Raoul, I was also at prom in the
nineteen hundreds, Oh, the late nineteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm a little younger. I got to go as a
junior in nineteen ninety seven. Oh, Raoul, you're ancient.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, and then as a senior in a nineteen ninety
And you know what's funny. This hoodie I have on
today is actually it says Scott Eagles on it. That's
my high school. Oh is that lame or what? It's
not lame at all?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Lame.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yeah, it's lame present in Taylor Mill, Kentucky. That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean this isn't from that era. Okay,
this doesn't have the guilt fear the shame. This is
my nephew and niece go there now, so.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
That it's not lame. It's nice. Is that what your
prom had? Guilt shame? Thanks.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Look when you go to high school in suburban Kentucky
outside of Cincinnati, it's you know, you're pretty lame.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh ever, the butterfly, Yeah, it was a good time.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I loved high school.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I was class president, but I was not very socially
you know, involved parties and that, like, you know, never
really mind.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I was a student body president, and you would think that.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You would think that we would be super socially involved
in partying.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
No, we're too busy.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
We're good at getting people to respect us or thinking
I don't want to do it, let this loser do Exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
We were the narks exactly. Oh, I was definitely a nark.
Were you prompting? Because Tiffany was also promised me.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
I desperately wanted to be that kind of student, you
know that like would be homecoming king, they'll be celebrated
by the student body. So winning class president was the
closest I got to that. I was never that cool.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
You're our homecoming king? Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Can I have a sash okay, that's the family show.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yes, really quick though.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, some students are really lucky because Steve Carrella actually
just announced that he is donating eight hundred tickets to
the policies in the high school students that have been
impacted by the fires. So he's buying their prom tickets.
Who's so lovely.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So our Gene Haney, who we had on the very
first segment, our very first guest today, will be a
recipient of that. So congratulations to them. They deserve it.
They do it to tell us about your show. Big
show coming up. Obviously, we're going to dissect what's going
on at La City Hall.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
They got no money and we heard from the public
yesterday for the first time about Mayerbass's budget and they're
not happy about these cuts. Layoffs, big time cuts to
services that you care about. Will dive into that. We've
also got a big protest march happening in the West
Side to head tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It's going to be in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills. They're
expecting drama, a little bit of drama.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
They're preparing for the worst, hoping for the best kind
of situation. We'll talk about that. I got Senator Adam
Schiff joining us in the eight o'clock hour. He's been
back home here, was in the studio with us here
at KFI to talk a bit about what he's doing
in Washington, and so we'll have that as well, coming
up on Michael Mounk's reports Washington.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You Midwestern Washington, sounds like a fantastic show.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Should be fun. Good air to you, sir, It's.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Been a blast thing everyone for hanging out. You can
check me out on Instagram at tiff hobbs On here
at tiff hobbs On here. I would love to continue
the conversation. I think one person got really upset and said,
how dare I compare apples to oranges reserves and safaris
(31:19):
to to what was it to aquariums? And Zeus wasn't
making making a lateral comparison. I was saying, we go
and look at animals wherever they are in these protected spaces.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's what I said.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Funny when people can't think out the box, they're the
ones that's limited in intelligence, Yet they want to get
you know, rowdy on the talk backs, like oh you know,
you're the one that's lacking intelligence because they're thinking in
a certain way that they're limited thinking.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Doesn't Yeah, it's just it's just wild.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's just it's just wild like safaris and sometimes zoos
can be whe and aquarium and aquarium. Okay, have a
fantastic rest of your weekend. Again, if you are going
to prom enjoy, be safe. Cheers to everyone. I'll see
you next Saturday, right here in the Big Chair on
KFI AM six forty live.
