Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yes, Saturday, kf I AM six forty live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It is Tiffany Hobbs here with you. It's Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's with Tiffany until seven. And then remember Michael Monks
comes aboard. So keep it right here, high Heather.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Hi, Tiffany. No, it's so good to see you too.
Be not and it feels so good. Get it here, kayleb.
Let's not let's not do that. Let's let's not do that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Raul can do the boom or what does the weaymo
sound to do the background?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
You know, I went to San Francisco about a month
or so ago and there were waymos every weymo weaymos
now everywhere. I was surprised. I've never seen so many before.
It's a mutiny, it's a takeover. It's it's kind of
it's it's weird. It's like that humanoid robot. Yeah, remember
seeing the first Weimo and we were like, what the
hell is that? And now they're everywhere. Human old robots
(01:00):
are the next thing. We'll see one and go what
And then two years I just got to be sitting
right here. It's just a little a touch too creepy
for me, a little two sci fi, you know, little
two terminators.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Like, have they not seen the movies? Do they not
know how this goes? How it ends? Yes, well, shifting
from humanoid robots to something that is kind of a.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
New venture into the common apartment style of living. It's
a new take on what apartments are and what they
provide to people. And it has to do for our
deeper dive segment, which we always do at six pm
on Saturdays, with Generation Z, those fifteen to thirty year olds,
(01:53):
and how they are single handedly as a generation, reshaping
the rental market and the luxury apartment market, creating their
own mini universe. So we're going to take a deeper
dive into what that entails, starting with the fact that
(02:14):
did you know that Generation Z actually makes up the
biggest and most dominant sector of the rental market. You
didn't know that, because I didn't know that. They represent
forty seven percent of recent US renters and comprise about
one fourth of all renters across the United States. And
(02:37):
this is according to Zillo. Again, Generation Z ranges from
fifteen to thirty years old, not a lot of fifteen
year olds who are getting apartments, but definitely those eighteen
to thirty year olds who are branching off for the
first time or maybe early into their career. The Wall
Street Journal did a full expose on what this generation
(02:59):
really want, what they want out of their living accommodations,
and surprise, surprise, many of them want affordability, which then
takes them out of the home buying market and posits
them right dead smack in the middle of the rental market.
And what Generation Z renters are saying. They want our amenities, aesthetics,
(03:23):
and their own little universe. Remember, we've all been there,
We've all left home and branched out, and many of
us likely had a first inaugural apartment, my apartment, my
very first apartment in Hawthorne. Many of you just went ooh,
(03:45):
because you know, you know, and there are parts of
Hawthorn that are amazing, But my first apartment not so much.
Little tiny box, six hundred square feet, my rent seven
hundred and fifty dollars for a one bedroom with parking
underground subterranean parking, and a pool with laundry on site,
(04:07):
shared laundry, and that was or those were the extent
of the amenities, a pool right in the middle of
the complex that no one ever used, shared laundry that
was often broken, and subterranean parking which was usually broken
into or easily accessible, and that was described as being good.
(04:28):
This is a good building, This is a good price
in a decent part of Hawthorn Well. The first apartment
for many Generation Z members is a far cry from
that early apartment that I had, and they want now
a lot more than just a basic apartment. They want,
(04:50):
these Generation z ers community. They want amenity, rich, high
design rental complexes that not just a place for them
to live, but also a self contained world that creates
instant community. Generation Z is the dominant force in the
(05:13):
rental market, and because they dominate, they get to redefine
what renting looks like. According to Zillow, again, many of
these Generation Z renters want complexes that have perks like pools, okay,
especially in a hot day like today, right. They want
fitness centers, They want coworking spaces because many of these
(05:40):
members of this generation do have kind of a hybrid
working environment. They work maybe in an office area or
on site, and then they are able to work at
home and of course we can certainly point to COVID
for this long lasting redefinition of what the working environment is.
But because they work from home, they want spaces where
(06:03):
they can set up their laptop and create offices or
create some sort of working space it's called a coworking space.
They want those fitness centers so that they don't have
to leave their building. They can just effectively roll out
of bed and onto the treadmill, hopefully brushing their teeth
in between. They want social lounges, they even want pet salons,
(06:29):
and they say that these amenities they're efficient, and they
foster community. People come together in these spaces and that's
how they're meeting friends, that's how they are socializing, that's
how they're getting to know each other. They never even
have to leave their building. And in addition to all
(06:51):
of these amenities, they're also provided a real world buffer.
And what do I mean While the ability to create
your own mini universe is like controlling your social media feed,
You have an algorithm, you want to see what you
want to see, you want to interact with who you
(07:12):
want to interact with. Well, these apartment complexes function as
an extension of that it's all about control and all
about designing what they want to interact with.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
On a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
The Wall Street Journal talk to four generation zeers and
all of them cited different things that they love in
their apartments, from having views and of course those amenities
like a pool, but also they cited the ability to
pick their apartment practically, cite unseen from a floor plan
(07:53):
and from maybe a digital recreation or creation of what
that apartment could very well look like. That is the
new renter, a renter who can be swayed by the
digital creation into renting and entering into a rental agreement
that offers all of the things that they say they want,
(08:17):
and they are willing to fork over a very pretty
penny to be able to have that sense of community.
When we come back to continue our deeper dive segment,
we're going to talk about why renting is the most
attractive option for these generations ears and some of the
(08:38):
trends in the luxury multifamily housing market, why people are
willing to do this and spend so much money, and
what these trends are offering. Coming up in the future,
we'll continue our deeper dive segment on the other side
of the break, it's KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tiffany
Hobbs here with you and we are in our Deeper
Dives segment talking about what Generation Z fifteen to thirty
year olds, And don't glaze over and turn away, because
this does impact you how that sector of young people
(09:26):
is single handedly as a generation redefining what renting is
and what these buildings that are popping up everywhere, especially
in southern California, what these mid rise luck and high
rise quote unquote luxury buildings include, why they're so popular
(09:47):
and again why they are popping up everywhere, because they
wouldn't be on all these quarters and all these vacant lots,
whether in residential areas or in metropol in urban areas
if they weren't desirable. So I was telling you that
the Wall Street Journal did this expose, and in this discovery,
(10:08):
they did talk to a group of young people who
identify as Generation Z and they are deep in the
renting market. Some of them again talked about the amenities,
things that they enjoy, like their pools, like having co
working spaces, social lounges, something called zoom rooms. Yes, there
(10:32):
are rooms in these apartment communities dedicated for you to
set up your zoom equipment to take a zoom call.
They also have podcast rooms because so many of these
young people are online and a way they make additional
or full income is through podcasting. They also have craft rooms,
(10:56):
rooftop barbecues, other sorts of places to sports or just
enjoy a quiet moment by themselves or with others from
the community. One person said that the community aspect is
what actually caused them to sign the lease. They said
(11:17):
the people they hang out with are their neighbors and
they have similar lifestyles and similar mentalities. Another said they
want their space to be Instagrammable. They want it to
be ready to take photos of and post online for
all of their community, and that they're interior designing that
(11:41):
the spaces that are community spaces, all these spaces need
to look perfect.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
For the shot.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
And that's what these new apartment communities in these quote
unquote luxury buildings are promising to provide. Another one of
these young people from Generation Z she said, she asked
herself before she moved in, can I film here and
make content with my furniture pieces? That was a big
(12:12):
draw for her. Is it instagramable? Does it film well?
Another said that they study on the rooftop with the
sun as the backdrop, that they can sit by the
pool eat their sushi, and that they make sure to
take pictures of those activities and post them on social media.
(12:32):
So the fact that these luxury mid and high rises
all around southern California, you see them there everywhere, from
downtown to Orange County Valley areas. They're popping up everywhere
West La, East La. These buildings are drawing in young
people because of how physically attractive these buildings actually are.
(12:57):
Now in talking about popping up everywhere, there are buildings
that are highly contested developments that are being planned. One
such development is in Boil Heights and the current renters
in that area, both renters of different units and business
(13:18):
owners who are renting facilities as well, are saying that
they are being pushed out because of a plan to
build a six story mixed use luxury building on East
Caesar Chavez Avenue and that that project will demolish the
area that these people currently work and live in, and
(13:40):
it's all to draw in those tenants, those renters who
find the things that this building is planning or promising
to provide. It's through real estate company TiO properties. They're
going to have five stories of apartment units on top
a ground floor for retail use, and of course subterranean
(14:03):
parking and lots of amenities, lots of amenities. Therein lies
a big issue pushing current renters out perhaps to usher
in this new type of complex, and there's no slowing
down in site. There's a study conducted by financial analysis
(14:26):
website bank rate that found monthly mortgage payments are far outpacing,
far outpacing rent in California's housing market, and this is
a national trend. It's been discovered that the biggest discrepancy
in the entire country was in San Francisco, where Heather
(14:51):
was Surprise, surprise. San Francisco is extremely expensive. We know that,
and the typical mortgage payment in San Francisco is one
hundred and ninety percent higher than the average price of rent.
San Jose ranked second with one hundred and eighty six
(15:15):
percent difference between mortgage and rental rates.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It is too expensive.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
For young people, especially to incur a mortgage, so they're
turning to the rental market. In talking about the rental market,
there are trends on the horizon. Services are split, so
there are differences and costs where services are split split.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
That's one trend.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Another is that corporate relocation, so jobs are placing people
in these buildings, driving up the demand for the luxurious amenities.
People are saying, if my company is paying for it,
I want the best of the best as well coworking spaces,
so an increase of co working spaces added. People want
(16:09):
to work from home, okay, and the trends continue. The
trends continue. They want buildings that project an image.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
They want them to be in stuggrammable. People want to
be able to take photos and video to post online
so that they can show that they are living better
than you are. Surprise, surprise, these buildings are not slowing down.
They are being developed everywhere and they will continue, especially
(16:42):
as we get closer to the Olympics. All of this
is like a big arrow pointing at twenty twenty eight
another big arrow pointing at US airlines. Actually, the airlines
are pointing at you and if you're single, they love you.
I'll tell you why on the other side of the
break Saturdays with Tiffany here until seven, then Michael Monks
(17:05):
comes on, so make sure you stay tuned for that.
I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand kf.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Tiffany Hobbs here with you and we have a talk
back about jin Z about gen Z just at our
Deep Dives segment Deeper Dives talking about gen Z redefining
the rental market and why these luxury mid and high
rises are a reflection of that, the ones that are
popping up everywhere, maybe on your block down the street. Well,
(17:38):
this talkback wanted to address something specifically.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Hello, this is Chris from Miami. Hi. I'm just kind
of curious, really good topic. I guess gen Z is
into renting and rooms for podcasting in Zoom, which is
completely cool, very fire. I'm just kind of curious as
to why a lot of people are referring to the
(18:04):
latest generations as young people. Everybody is along the timeline somewhere,
why not just say gen Z or jen why.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Because I'm no longer a young people and I feel
like everyone south of thirty is a is a young people.
So I you know you're Haila, don't. You're a little
north of thirty. You're not an old people, but you're
not a young people anymore.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
It's because they're younger. They're younger than us.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You're a younger people than I. Yeah, they are young. Yeah,
they're young people. Fifteen young people fifteen to thirty.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I mean that's young. But if you prefer gen Z
and gen why that works too? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Sure, that interchangeably throughout our deeper dive segment. And I
don't think I said young people maybe but once, But
now that you've called me out on it, I feel
like I've said it five times in the last ten seconds.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Young people, young people name you're Nina, Nina? Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
If you're single, than airlines love you? What am I
talking about? They're not using you as a new advertisement,
They're not using you to be a spokesperson for the airline. No,
it's actually a bit more nefarious than that. And if
(19:20):
you fly, and especially if you fly solo like I
have been known to do, like Kayla and all of
us in the studio at some point likely have done.
I know, I enjoy flying by myself. It's great to
fly with someone who you can sit next to and
talk to, but flying by yourself if.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
You're brave enough.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Of course, a lot of people don't like to be
by themselves. Can we talk about that for a second.
Can we just have a moment, can't relate?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
You know, I am one.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Of those people who I will do a lot by myself. Okay,
I don't mind doing movies by myself. It's not an
often thing I don't. I don't remember the last time
I've gone to the movies by myself, but I have.
I was fine with it. Restaurants Do you do restaurants
by yourself?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I've done movies. I've done restaurants. Yeah, coffee dates. I
love myself, like yourself, you yourself? Yes, Raoul?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Are you comfortable by yourself with just Raoul? And this
is a family show?
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Easy?
Speaker 7 (20:16):
The best way to travel because you ain't gotta wait
for nobody, You can just go.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Exactly, Miss Brooka, have a Brooka? Do you like to
be by yourself? You know? Doing you have a family,
but the u time that you have by yourself. Do
you relish in that.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I do.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I'm also an only child, so I'm very comfortable being
by myself.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Me too, Yeah, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I love I love being around people, but I definitely
enjoy that time to myself too.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
And you know, as only children, we that's just built in.
It's something that we've become accustomed to. Yeah, those of
you with siblings, you might have had to carve out
alone time, still do in some cases. But being by
yourself is a wonderful thing, not afforded to all, but
enjoyed by many. And many people do not like to
be by themselves. That's the subject for another day. In
(21:05):
this case, airlines want you if you are a solo traveler.
Here's why some of the biggest US airlines are quietly
secretly on the low, charging solo travelers more than passengers
who book as a pair. Wait a minute, the gall
(21:28):
that's not fair. That sounds like discrimination.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I think so. Do I have a lawsuit?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I think you may. Who are these airlines? Let me
get into it now. According to recent travel findings travel
industry findings, the airlines are American Airlines, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Delta,
Airlines and United Airlines all who have which now created
(21:54):
a new fair, a new set of rules for fairs
that in some cases require passengers to book at least
two tickets to access the cheapest fares. You get a
discount if you book more than one. If you book one,
they are charging you more. It means solo travelers could
(22:18):
end up paying as much as seventy percent more for
the same flight. If your ticket, let's say, is one
hundred dollars, okay, base price. Let's just do some quick
math and help me out with this, because even as
I'm describing the math, my brain is going ill.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Math stop.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Let's say your base ticket is one hundred dollars. If
you are a single traveler, your ticket could be seventy
percent more than that one hundred dollars. What does that
then amount to? Anyone takers Raoul you like math? Heather's
saying no.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Raoul saying no, no one here like radio, sir. We
don't have to fam. This is a Wendy's.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So if we were to do the math, me, being
a teacher, should be able to do this, that would
be seventy percent more than one hundred dollars. Would be
about one hundred and seventy dollars. That's the one I think,
give or take a few cents. I'm sure someone will
hit the talk back to tell us that we are idiots.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Be kind, but it is more. Is the point.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
If you are traveling singularly, you are being charged up
to seventy percent more on your ticket on average travel site.
Thrifty Traveler found this pattern because they did some digging
while analyzing hundreds of domestic one way fares. There was
a short United trip from Chicago's o' hair Airport to Peoria, Illinois,
(23:50):
where my mom is from, and a single ticket cost
two hundred and sixty nine dollars, but that same ticket
dropped to one one hundred and eighty one dollars per
person when booked with a pair. Here's the thing. This
only appears when you search for multiple passengers. You have
(24:15):
to be in the know to get this sort of discount,
and at this point it's cheaper.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Not just a keeper, but it's cheaper.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
To grab a buddy and travel because you guys will
get discounted tickets if you book together in a pair.
This is happening people American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and United
airlines have been found to do this, and this tactic
appears designed to target business travelers who often book last
(24:47):
minute and travel alone.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
They are praying upon you.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
There's a frequent flyer expert named Gary Leff, and he
writes for the airline industry blog.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
View from the Wing.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
He reported that American Airlines was the first to adopt
the model, and it internally calls it P two for
passenger two. They have all these little insider quips. Delta
and United have now followed suit. There's another example. A
solo ticket costs four hundred and twenty two dollars for
(25:21):
a one way economy flight, but when booked together, two
tickets dropped the per person price to two hundred and
ten dollars. Wow, it's like a two for one type deal.
And they're saying the rationale straightforward. Solo travelers, likely to
(25:43):
be business travelers, are less concerned about costs due to
corporate budgets. They're saying, companies are paying for their flights,
so they.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Don't really care.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
That's not true, not true at all. I'm not a
corporate flyer. I fly on my own. Yes, laziness, they
are preying upon you. They're discriminating against the single person
by charging you almost double for being single.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I'm gonna get married tomorrow. You should. You'll save on
airline tickets. I love that.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The costs on the other side might be higher, but
at least you'll be paying less for your flight. When
we come back, we're gonna check back in with this
National Weather System alert that was issued out there in
Santa Barbara and Ventura because there's some bad weather out
that way.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
We'll see what's.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Going on with that, and we'll talk to Michael Monks
and see what he has going on on.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
His big show.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It's kf I AM six forty Live Everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app Saturdays with Tiffany Here till seven.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
Saturdays with Tiffany for one more segment, and you can
always follow me on Instagram at tiff hobbs On here
no spaces at tip hobbs On here.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I love to talk with you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I love to find out what's going on, poke into
your life, see what you're doing, and you know, kind
of share some behind the scene things here at the
station preparation for the show My Life. It's pretty boring,
but it's awesome to have you along for the journey
and for this show. I do appreciate it. One of
my friends who actually met through the station through the
(27:27):
Moe Kelly show, his name is Eric Lesardo. He messaged
me during the last break to tell me that the
te Life app we're talking about this a few segments ago,
that T Mobile tech app te Life, which is automatically
put on your phone if you're a T Mobile user. Well,
he said at one point he tried to uninstall it.
(27:50):
He was able to disable it, but that you can't
uninstall it. It reinstalls itself. It might look like it's uninstalled,
and he was saying that, you know, he kind of
was poking around and doing some things. Looked like it
went away, but then it came back, and now it
may be gone, but you never can be fully sure.
Remember this is an app that when open in the background,
(28:13):
even if you're not using it in that moment to
do technical stuff with your phone, it can and likely
is recording your screen activity whatever that is.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
They can see it.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I don't know who the they is and what they're
going to do with the it in this case, but
they can see it, so try and disable that Tea
Life app. Thank you Eric Lesardo for that. Look up,
Eric Losarto, he's an amazing musician. Musician LSA R.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
D O.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Eric Lesardo, Oh my gosh, you guys have to hear
the things he does for the Later with Mo Kelly's Show,
for my segments on the Later with Mo Kelly's Show.
He is incredible and so is his daughter. Congrats to
her as well. We're keeping up to date on this
severe weather alert. The National Weather System issued an alert
(29:11):
about an hour ago about severe thunderstorms out in Santa
Barbara and Ventura. They said hail, flash, flooding, lightning, cats, dogs,
all of that is expected along with damage from hale.
So if you are experiencing that, I'm about to leave,
but you can certainly tell Michael Monks what you're dealing
(29:33):
with in the talk backs, and Michael Monks says here, Hi, Michael, and.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
A good evening to you.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
Yet even we'll be keeping an eye on all that
severe weather that's over southern California right now.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That says earthquake weather, as we say in Los Angeles
is that what we say. We say when it's when
it's like a polarity between like you know, obviously really
hot and then random thunderstorms or some streak of cold
somewhere else, inconsistency that it leads to a disruption in
the plate tectonics and all that and sciencey stuff and
boom earthquakes.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Well, I was going to focus on my show, but
now I've got to be worried about that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You should duck and cover. We have big tables here.
There's gonna be ducks, ducks and covers. Oh man, cats, dogs, ducksglitz.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
They haven't fledged yet. They're still well, they're taking flight there.
Maybe it looks like they're kind of they're hovering.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
They're hovering and they're getting whisked back into the nest,
dressing me out.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Are you stressed?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Could I watch this thing every day?
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yeah? I know.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Any King is probably somewhere at home watching this as
we speak, just biting her fingernails.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That's my girl in eaglet life.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, she's big on it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
So am I.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
And people message me and they're like they they left,
And then I go look and there's an update that
says they haven't left.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Because people don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
They're just they think they actually just got to talk
back about it, like three minutes ago something.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
You're still standing there. Oh yeah, yeah, see yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
See that's how I was. I mean, I didn't fly
until I was like twenty seven years old.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Did you fly into a luxury apartment complex?
Speaker 6 (30:57):
It wasn't luxury?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
What was your first one?
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Like my first apartment I was. I lived on campus,
of course, that was my first first thing. But then
I shared an apartment and it was fine. Okay, it
was fine. I did live in some dumps in my twenties.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
You kinda have to ride a passage.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Yeah, and I'm kind of in you know, I'm in
the midst of the chaos of Los Angeles now living downtown.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
But the apartment is really.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
The apartment is wonderful. It's its own life.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Yeah, as long as we keep the windows and the
doors closed and locked. It's really nice living down there.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
In Santa Monica with all the way mouths.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Day someday move from downtown to Santa Monica and Weymouth.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
That's the goal.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
What's on your show coming up?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
On Michael Monks Reports, I'm gonna be joined by a
woman you might know from undercover billionaire Lane Colate. She
says she's got an idea about the wildfire debris and
the Palisades because the Army Corps of Engineers they're wrapping
up there, they're just about finish.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Is this like a head of schedule?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
No, I think it's on schedule for them. Now we
hear you know that. Yeah, we're moving everything on time,
and people on the ground on the Palisades say it's
not so rosy. She says she's got some ideas to
get that stuff out of their bedded involves tranes. But
apparently no one's really listening to her ideas, anybody of power.
So we'll talk to her about what her idea is
and how things are going for residents of Palisades like her.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Mm hmmm, surprise, surprise, no one's listening.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Yeah, she's not happy with some of the local officials,
like most people I've talked to in the Palisades, like
most people.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I remember.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Earlier on Neil's show, he was saying that the longer
you keep meat talking about steak, it was a great
show and Fork reporter, the longer you keep steak out
up to about two hours is when the bacteria starts
to breed and you get all that funky stuff on
the meat.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
And I was like that sounds like la Like the
longer we're outside, the more bacteria we incurred the crop.
Ear it seems to get.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
A nice day like this. You go out for a walk,
but you do need a shower out.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh the things you take home? Yeah, oh God, And
you can't complain to anyone because.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
No one cares. No one cares. I care all in it.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You care?
Speaker 6 (32:46):
I care a little.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
They have a great show. They put out the fires
yet on your block.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Oh, there'll be new ones tonight. I'm sure by the
time I drive home there'll be new fires in the curbs.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Anything else going on your show?
Speaker 6 (32:58):
Yeah you know, I know you mentioned.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I'm going to talk about it from the context of
my family, which visited this week, and they took the
Weymouth Oh and Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Hillbillies were over the.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
Moon, were they?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
The pictures.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Yeah, they thought it was really cool.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Oh how far was the ride? Do you know?
Speaker 7 (33:16):
They came incidentally from Santa Monica all the way back downtown. Oh,
they loved it so much. They were visiting my apartment. Yes,
and staying in a hotel downtown. That they took another
weymo from my place back to their home.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And these Beverly hillbillies, that's a lot of money they
spent on ways.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
They found it cheaper than the Ubers. Yeah, they said
it was cheaper than the Ubers. My mother did not
like riding in the car with me driving and I'm
talking this week. You know, it's like freaking out. Uh,
you know, they're not a drive kind of thing. Have
you seen how you walk around these halls.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
There's a lot of clomping and stomping from a mess.
Move out the way under the man spread. I'm just
too much.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Just a lot of man. It's a lot of man
spreading around these hallways. Yeah, too much, maybe not enough.
Some say people are gonna get more of you in
a little bit. I hope so they too. Make sure
you listen in for Michaels wonderful man spreaded Man's spreading.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
We'll be spreading a lot of man coming up with that.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
We're spreading man there just for say to wrap up already,
I'm dying. Wrap up the spreading man. Is that what
you're saying?
Speaker 7 (34:12):
The big hook is on the Big Hook is out Oscars.

Be not and it feels so good. Get it here, kayleb.
Let's not let's not do that. Let's let's not do that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Raul can do the boom or what does the weaymo
sound to do the background?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
You know, I went to San Francisco about a month
or so ago and there were waymos every weymo weaymos
now everywhere. I was surprised. I've never seen so many before.
It's a mutiny, it's a takeover. It's it's kind of
it's it's weird. It's like that humanoid robot. Yeah, remember
seeing the first Weimo and we were like, what the
hell is that? And now they're everywhere. Human old robots
(01:00):
are the next thing. We'll see one and go what
And then two years I just got to be sitting
right here. It's just a little a touch too creepy
for me, a little two sci fi, you know, little
two terminators.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Like, have they not seen the movies? Do they not
know how this goes? How it ends? Yes, well, shifting
from humanoid robots to something that is kind of a.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
New venture into the common apartment style of living. It's
a new take on what apartments are and what they
provide to people. And it has to do for our
deeper dive segment, which we always do at six pm
on Saturdays, with Generation Z, those fifteen to thirty year olds,
(01:53):
and how they are single handedly as a generation, reshaping
the rental market and the luxury apartment market, creating their
own mini universe. So we're going to take a deeper
dive into what that entails, starting with the fact that
(02:14):
did you know that Generation Z actually makes up the
biggest and most dominant sector of the rental market. You
didn't know that, because I didn't know that. They represent
forty seven percent of recent US renters and comprise about
one fourth of all renters across the United States. And
(02:37):
this is according to Zillo. Again, Generation Z ranges from
fifteen to thirty years old, not a lot of fifteen
year olds who are getting apartments, but definitely those eighteen
to thirty year olds who are branching off for the
first time or maybe early into their career. The Wall
Street Journal did a full expose on what this generation
(02:59):
really want, what they want out of their living accommodations,
and surprise, surprise, many of them want affordability, which then
takes them out of the home buying market and posits
them right dead smack in the middle of the rental market.
And what Generation Z renters are saying. They want our amenities, aesthetics,
(03:23):
and their own little universe. Remember, we've all been there,
We've all left home and branched out, and many of
us likely had a first inaugural apartment, my apartment, my
very first apartment in Hawthorne. Many of you just went ooh,
(03:45):
because you know, you know, and there are parts of
Hawthorn that are amazing, But my first apartment not so much.
Little tiny box, six hundred square feet, my rent seven
hundred and fifty dollars for a one bedroom with parking
underground subterranean parking, and a pool with laundry on site,
(04:07):
shared laundry, and that was or those were the extent
of the amenities, a pool right in the middle of
the complex that no one ever used, shared laundry that
was often broken, and subterranean parking which was usually broken
into or easily accessible, and that was described as being good.
(04:28):
This is a good building, This is a good price
in a decent part of Hawthorn Well. The first apartment
for many Generation Z members is a far cry from
that early apartment that I had, and they want now
a lot more than just a basic apartment. They want,
(04:50):
these Generation z ers community. They want amenity, rich, high
design rental complexes that not just a place for them
to live, but also a self contained world that creates
instant community. Generation Z is the dominant force in the
(05:13):
rental market, and because they dominate, they get to redefine
what renting looks like. According to Zillow, again, many of
these Generation Z renters want complexes that have perks like pools, okay,
especially in a hot day like today, right. They want
fitness centers, They want coworking spaces because many of these
(05:40):
members of this generation do have kind of a hybrid
working environment. They work maybe in an office area or
on site, and then they are able to work at
home and of course we can certainly point to COVID
for this long lasting redefinition of what the working environment is.
But because they work from home, they want spaces where
(06:03):
they can set up their laptop and create offices or
create some sort of working space it's called a coworking space.
They want those fitness centers so that they don't have
to leave their building. They can just effectively roll out
of bed and onto the treadmill, hopefully brushing their teeth
in between. They want social lounges, they even want pet salons,
(06:29):
and they say that these amenities they're efficient, and they
foster community. People come together in these spaces and that's
how they're meeting friends, that's how they are socializing, that's
how they're getting to know each other. They never even
have to leave their building. And in addition to all
(06:51):
of these amenities, they're also provided a real world buffer.
And what do I mean While the ability to create
your own mini universe is like controlling your social media feed,
You have an algorithm, you want to see what you
want to see, you want to interact with who you
(07:12):
want to interact with. Well, these apartment complexes function as
an extension of that it's all about control and all
about designing what they want to interact with.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
On a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
The Wall Street Journal talk to four generation zeers and
all of them cited different things that they love in
their apartments, from having views and of course those amenities
like a pool, but also they cited the ability to
pick their apartment practically, cite unseen from a floor plan
(07:53):
and from maybe a digital recreation or creation of what
that apartment could very well look like. That is the
new renter, a renter who can be swayed by the
digital creation into renting and entering into a rental agreement
that offers all of the things that they say they want,
(08:17):
and they are willing to fork over a very pretty
penny to be able to have that sense of community.
When we come back to continue our deeper dive segment,
we're going to talk about why renting is the most
attractive option for these generations ears and some of the
(08:38):
trends in the luxury multifamily housing market, why people are
willing to do this and spend so much money, and
what these trends are offering. Coming up in the future,
we'll continue our deeper dive segment on the other side
of the break, it's KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tiffany
Hobbs here with you and we are in our Deeper
Dives segment talking about what Generation Z fifteen to thirty
year olds, And don't glaze over and turn away, because
this does impact you how that sector of young people
(09:26):
is single handedly as a generation redefining what renting is
and what these buildings that are popping up everywhere, especially
in southern California, what these mid rise luck and high
rise quote unquote luxury buildings include, why they're so popular
(09:47):
and again why they are popping up everywhere, because they
wouldn't be on all these quarters and all these vacant lots,
whether in residential areas or in metropol in urban areas
if they weren't desirable. So I was telling you that
the Wall Street Journal did this expose, and in this discovery,
(10:08):
they did talk to a group of young people who
identify as Generation Z and they are deep in the
renting market. Some of them again talked about the amenities,
things that they enjoy, like their pools, like having co
working spaces, social lounges, something called zoom rooms. Yes, there
(10:32):
are rooms in these apartment communities dedicated for you to
set up your zoom equipment to take a zoom call.
They also have podcast rooms because so many of these
young people are online and a way they make additional
or full income is through podcasting. They also have craft rooms,
(10:56):
rooftop barbecues, other sorts of places to sports or just
enjoy a quiet moment by themselves or with others from
the community. One person said that the community aspect is
what actually caused them to sign the lease. They said
(11:17):
the people they hang out with are their neighbors and
they have similar lifestyles and similar mentalities. Another said they
want their space to be Instagrammable. They want it to
be ready to take photos of and post online for
all of their community, and that they're interior designing that
(11:41):
the spaces that are community spaces, all these spaces need
to look perfect.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
For the shot.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
And that's what these new apartment communities in these quote
unquote luxury buildings are promising to provide. Another one of
these young people from Generation Z she said, she asked
herself before she moved in, can I film here and
make content with my furniture pieces? That was a big
(12:12):
draw for her. Is it instagramable? Does it film well?
Another said that they study on the rooftop with the
sun as the backdrop, that they can sit by the
pool eat their sushi, and that they make sure to
take pictures of those activities and post them on social media.
(12:32):
So the fact that these luxury mid and high rises
all around southern California, you see them there everywhere, from
downtown to Orange County Valley areas. They're popping up everywhere
West La, East La. These buildings are drawing in young
people because of how physically attractive these buildings actually are.
(12:57):
Now in talking about popping up everywhere, there are buildings
that are highly contested developments that are being planned. One
such development is in Boil Heights and the current renters
in that area, both renters of different units and business
(13:18):
owners who are renting facilities as well, are saying that
they are being pushed out because of a plan to
build a six story mixed use luxury building on East
Caesar Chavez Avenue and that that project will demolish the
area that these people currently work and live in, and
(13:40):
it's all to draw in those tenants, those renters who
find the things that this building is planning or promising
to provide. It's through real estate company TiO properties. They're
going to have five stories of apartment units on top
a ground floor for retail use, and of course subterranean
(14:03):
parking and lots of amenities, lots of amenities. Therein lies
a big issue pushing current renters out perhaps to usher
in this new type of complex, and there's no slowing
down in site. There's a study conducted by financial analysis
(14:26):
website bank rate that found monthly mortgage payments are far outpacing,
far outpacing rent in California's housing market, and this is
a national trend. It's been discovered that the biggest discrepancy
in the entire country was in San Francisco, where Heather
(14:51):
was Surprise, surprise. San Francisco is extremely expensive. We know that,
and the typical mortgage payment in San Francisco is one
hundred and ninety percent higher than the average price of rent.
San Jose ranked second with one hundred and eighty six
(15:15):
percent difference between mortgage and rental rates.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It is too expensive.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
For young people, especially to incur a mortgage, so they're
turning to the rental market. In talking about the rental market,
there are trends on the horizon. Services are split, so
there are differences and costs where services are split split.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
That's one trend.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Another is that corporate relocation, so jobs are placing people
in these buildings, driving up the demand for the luxurious amenities.
People are saying, if my company is paying for it,
I want the best of the best as well coworking spaces,
so an increase of co working spaces added. People want
(16:09):
to work from home, okay, and the trends continue. The
trends continue. They want buildings that project an image.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
They want them to be in stuggrammable. People want to
be able to take photos and video to post online
so that they can show that they are living better
than you are. Surprise, surprise, these buildings are not slowing down.
They are being developed everywhere and they will continue, especially
(16:42):
as we get closer to the Olympics. All of this
is like a big arrow pointing at twenty twenty eight
another big arrow pointing at US airlines. Actually, the airlines
are pointing at you and if you're single, they love you.
I'll tell you why on the other side of the
break Saturdays with Tiffany here until seven, then Michael Monks
(17:05):
comes on, so make sure you stay tuned for that.
I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand kf.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Tiffany Hobbs here with you and we have a talk
back about jin Z about gen Z just at our
Deep Dives segment Deeper Dives talking about gen Z redefining
the rental market and why these luxury mid and high
rises are a reflection of that, the ones that are
popping up everywhere, maybe on your block down the street. Well,
(17:38):
this talkback wanted to address something specifically.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Hello, this is Chris from Miami. Hi. I'm just kind
of curious, really good topic. I guess gen Z is
into renting and rooms for podcasting in Zoom, which is
completely cool, very fire. I'm just kind of curious as
to why a lot of people are referring to the
(18:04):
latest generations as young people. Everybody is along the timeline somewhere,
why not just say gen Z or jen why.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Because I'm no longer a young people and I feel
like everyone south of thirty is a is a young people.
So I you know you're Haila, don't. You're a little
north of thirty. You're not an old people, but you're
not a young people anymore.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
It's because they're younger. They're younger than us.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You're a younger people than I. Yeah, they are young. Yeah,
they're young people. Fifteen young people fifteen to thirty.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I mean that's young. But if you prefer gen Z
and gen why that works too? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Sure, that interchangeably throughout our deeper dive segment. And I
don't think I said young people maybe but once, But
now that you've called me out on it, I feel
like I've said it five times in the last ten seconds.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Young people, young people name you're Nina, Nina? Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
If you're single, than airlines love you? What am I
talking about? They're not using you as a new advertisement,
They're not using you to be a spokesperson for the airline. No,
it's actually a bit more nefarious than that. And if
(19:20):
you fly, and especially if you fly solo like I
have been known to do, like Kayla and all of
us in the studio at some point likely have done.
I know, I enjoy flying by myself. It's great to
fly with someone who you can sit next to and
talk to, but flying by yourself if.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
You're brave enough.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Of course, a lot of people don't like to be
by themselves. Can we talk about that for a second.
Can we just have a moment, can't relate?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
You know, I am one.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Of those people who I will do a lot by myself. Okay,
I don't mind doing movies by myself. It's not an
often thing I don't. I don't remember the last time
I've gone to the movies by myself, but I have.
I was fine with it. Restaurants Do you do restaurants
by yourself?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I've done movies. I've done restaurants. Yeah, coffee dates. I
love myself, like yourself, you yourself? Yes, Raoul?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Are you comfortable by yourself with just Raoul? And this
is a family show?
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Easy?
Speaker 7 (20:16):
The best way to travel because you ain't gotta wait
for nobody, You can just go.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Exactly, Miss Brooka, have a Brooka? Do you like to
be by yourself? You know? Doing you have a family,
but the u time that you have by yourself. Do
you relish in that.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I do.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I'm also an only child, so I'm very comfortable being
by myself.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Me too, Yeah, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I love I love being around people, but I definitely
enjoy that time to myself too.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
And you know, as only children, we that's just built in.
It's something that we've become accustomed to. Yeah, those of
you with siblings, you might have had to carve out
alone time, still do in some cases. But being by
yourself is a wonderful thing, not afforded to all, but
enjoyed by many. And many people do not like to
be by themselves. That's the subject for another day. In
(21:05):
this case, airlines want you if you are a solo traveler.
Here's why some of the biggest US airlines are quietly
secretly on the low, charging solo travelers more than passengers
who book as a pair. Wait a minute, the gall
(21:28):
that's not fair. That sounds like discrimination.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I think so. Do I have a lawsuit?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I think you may. Who are these airlines? Let me
get into it now. According to recent travel findings travel
industry findings, the airlines are American Airlines, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Delta,
Airlines and United Airlines all who have which now created
(21:54):
a new fair, a new set of rules for fairs
that in some cases require passengers to book at least
two tickets to access the cheapest fares. You get a
discount if you book more than one. If you book one,
they are charging you more. It means solo travelers could
(22:18):
end up paying as much as seventy percent more for
the same flight. If your ticket, let's say, is one
hundred dollars, okay, base price. Let's just do some quick
math and help me out with this, because even as
I'm describing the math, my brain is going ill.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Math stop.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Let's say your base ticket is one hundred dollars. If
you are a single traveler, your ticket could be seventy
percent more than that one hundred dollars. What does that
then amount to? Anyone takers Raoul you like math? Heather's
saying no.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Raoul saying no, no one here like radio, sir. We
don't have to fam. This is a Wendy's.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So if we were to do the math, me, being
a teacher, should be able to do this, that would
be seventy percent more than one hundred dollars. Would be
about one hundred and seventy dollars. That's the one I think,
give or take a few cents. I'm sure someone will
hit the talk back to tell us that we are idiots.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Be kind, but it is more. Is the point.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
If you are traveling singularly, you are being charged up
to seventy percent more on your ticket on average travel site.
Thrifty Traveler found this pattern because they did some digging
while analyzing hundreds of domestic one way fares. There was
a short United trip from Chicago's o' hair Airport to Peoria, Illinois,
(23:50):
where my mom is from, and a single ticket cost
two hundred and sixty nine dollars, but that same ticket
dropped to one one hundred and eighty one dollars per
person when booked with a pair. Here's the thing. This
only appears when you search for multiple passengers. You have
(24:15):
to be in the know to get this sort of discount,
and at this point it's cheaper.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Not just a keeper, but it's cheaper.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
To grab a buddy and travel because you guys will
get discounted tickets if you book together in a pair.
This is happening people American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and United
airlines have been found to do this, and this tactic
appears designed to target business travelers who often book last
(24:47):
minute and travel alone.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
They are praying upon you.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
There's a frequent flyer expert named Gary Leff, and he
writes for the airline industry blog.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
View from the Wing.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
He reported that American Airlines was the first to adopt
the model, and it internally calls it P two for
passenger two. They have all these little insider quips. Delta
and United have now followed suit. There's another example. A
solo ticket costs four hundred and twenty two dollars for
(25:21):
a one way economy flight, but when booked together, two
tickets dropped the per person price to two hundred and
ten dollars. Wow, it's like a two for one type deal.
And they're saying the rationale straightforward. Solo travelers, likely to
(25:43):
be business travelers, are less concerned about costs due to
corporate budgets. They're saying, companies are paying for their flights,
so they.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Don't really care.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
That's not true, not true at all. I'm not a
corporate flyer. I fly on my own. Yes, laziness, they
are preying upon you. They're discriminating against the single person
by charging you almost double for being single.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I'm gonna get married tomorrow. You should. You'll save on
airline tickets. I love that.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The costs on the other side might be higher, but
at least you'll be paying less for your flight. When
we come back, we're gonna check back in with this
National Weather System alert that was issued out there in
Santa Barbara and Ventura because there's some bad weather out
that way.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
We'll see what's.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Going on with that, and we'll talk to Michael Monks
and see what he has going on on.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
His big show.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It's kf I AM six forty Live Everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app Saturdays with Tiffany Here till seven.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
Saturdays with Tiffany for one more segment, and you can
always follow me on Instagram at tiff hobbs On here
no spaces at tip hobbs On here.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I love to talk with you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I love to find out what's going on, poke into
your life, see what you're doing, and you know, kind
of share some behind the scene things here at the
station preparation for the show My Life. It's pretty boring,
but it's awesome to have you along for the journey
and for this show. I do appreciate it. One of
my friends who actually met through the station through the
(27:27):
Moe Kelly show, his name is Eric Lesardo. He messaged
me during the last break to tell me that the
te Life app we're talking about this a few segments ago,
that T Mobile tech app te Life, which is automatically
put on your phone if you're a T Mobile user. Well,
he said at one point he tried to uninstall it.
(27:50):
He was able to disable it, but that you can't
uninstall it. It reinstalls itself. It might look like it's uninstalled,
and he was saying that, you know, he kind of
was poking around and doing some things. Looked like it
went away, but then it came back, and now it
may be gone, but you never can be fully sure.
Remember this is an app that when open in the background,
(28:13):
even if you're not using it in that moment to
do technical stuff with your phone, it can and likely
is recording your screen activity whatever that is.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
They can see it.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I don't know who the they is and what they're
going to do with the it in this case, but
they can see it, so try and disable that Tea
Life app. Thank you Eric Lesardo for that. Look up,
Eric Losarto, he's an amazing musician. Musician LSA R.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
D O.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Eric Lesardo, Oh my gosh, you guys have to hear
the things he does for the Later with Mo Kelly's Show,
for my segments on the Later with Mo Kelly's Show.
He is incredible and so is his daughter. Congrats to
her as well. We're keeping up to date on this
severe weather alert. The National Weather System issued an alert
(29:11):
about an hour ago about severe thunderstorms out in Santa
Barbara and Ventura. They said hail, flash, flooding, lightning, cats, dogs,
all of that is expected along with damage from hale.
So if you are experiencing that, I'm about to leave,
but you can certainly tell Michael Monks what you're dealing
(29:33):
with in the talk backs, and Michael Monks says here, Hi, Michael, and.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
A good evening to you.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
Yet even we'll be keeping an eye on all that
severe weather that's over southern California right now.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That says earthquake weather, as we say in Los Angeles
is that what we say. We say when it's when
it's like a polarity between like you know, obviously really
hot and then random thunderstorms or some streak of cold
somewhere else, inconsistency that it leads to a disruption in
the plate tectonics and all that and sciencey stuff and
boom earthquakes.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Well, I was going to focus on my show, but
now I've got to be worried about that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You should duck and cover. We have big tables here.
There's gonna be ducks, ducks and covers. Oh man, cats, dogs, ducksglitz.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
They haven't fledged yet. They're still well, they're taking flight there.
Maybe it looks like they're kind of they're hovering.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
They're hovering and they're getting whisked back into the nest,
dressing me out.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Are you stressed?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Could I watch this thing every day?
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yeah? I know.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Any King is probably somewhere at home watching this as
we speak, just biting her fingernails.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That's my girl in eaglet life.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, she's big on it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
So am I.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
And people message me and they're like they they left,
And then I go look and there's an update that
says they haven't left.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Because people don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
They're just they think they actually just got to talk
back about it, like three minutes ago something.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
You're still standing there. Oh yeah, yeah, see yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
See that's how I was. I mean, I didn't fly
until I was like twenty seven years old.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Did you fly into a luxury apartment complex?
Speaker 6 (30:57):
It wasn't luxury?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
What was your first one?
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Like my first apartment I was. I lived on campus,
of course, that was my first first thing. But then
I shared an apartment and it was fine. Okay, it
was fine. I did live in some dumps in my twenties.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
You kinda have to ride a passage.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Yeah, and I'm kind of in you know, I'm in
the midst of the chaos of Los Angeles now living downtown.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
But the apartment is really.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
The apartment is wonderful. It's its own life.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Yeah, as long as we keep the windows and the
doors closed and locked. It's really nice living down there.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
In Santa Monica with all the way mouths.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Day someday move from downtown to Santa Monica and Weymouth.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
That's the goal.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
What's on your show coming up?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
On Michael Monks Reports, I'm gonna be joined by a
woman you might know from undercover billionaire Lane Colate. She
says she's got an idea about the wildfire debris and
the Palisades because the Army Corps of Engineers they're wrapping
up there, they're just about finish.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Is this like a head of schedule?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
No, I think it's on schedule for them. Now we
hear you know that. Yeah, we're moving everything on time,
and people on the ground on the Palisades say it's
not so rosy. She says she's got some ideas to
get that stuff out of their bedded involves tranes. But
apparently no one's really listening to her ideas, anybody of power.
So we'll talk to her about what her idea is
and how things are going for residents of Palisades like her.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Mm hmmm, surprise, surprise, no one's listening.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Yeah, she's not happy with some of the local officials,
like most people I've talked to in the Palisades, like
most people.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I remember.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Earlier on Neil's show, he was saying that the longer
you keep meat talking about steak, it was a great
show and Fork reporter, the longer you keep steak out
up to about two hours is when the bacteria starts
to breed and you get all that funky stuff on
the meat.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
And I was like that sounds like la Like the
longer we're outside, the more bacteria we incurred the crop.
Ear it seems to get.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
A nice day like this. You go out for a walk,
but you do need a shower out.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh the things you take home? Yeah, oh God, And
you can't complain to anyone because.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
No one cares. No one cares. I care all in it.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You care?
Speaker 6 (32:46):
I care a little.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
They have a great show. They put out the fires
yet on your block.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Oh, there'll be new ones tonight. I'm sure by the
time I drive home there'll be new fires in the curbs.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Anything else going on your show?
Speaker 6 (32:58):
Yeah you know, I know you mentioned.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I'm going to talk about it from the context of
my family, which visited this week, and they took the
Weymouth Oh and Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Hillbillies were over the.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
Moon, were they?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
The pictures.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Yeah, they thought it was really cool.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Oh how far was the ride? Do you know?
Speaker 7 (33:16):
They came incidentally from Santa Monica all the way back downtown. Oh,
they loved it so much. They were visiting my apartment. Yes,
and staying in a hotel downtown. That they took another
weymo from my place back to their home.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And these Beverly hillbillies, that's a lot of money they
spent on ways.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
They found it cheaper than the Ubers. Yeah, they said
it was cheaper than the Ubers. My mother did not
like riding in the car with me driving and I'm
talking this week. You know, it's like freaking out. Uh,
you know, they're not a drive kind of thing. Have
you seen how you walk around these halls.
Speaker 3 (33:44):

Move out the way under the man spread. I'm just

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Just a lot of man. It's a lot of man
spreading around these hallways. Yeah, too much, maybe not enough.
