Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Tifney Hobbs here with you until six pm. Thank you
for hang at six pm, six pm, No, four pm,
I want to say extra hours apparently until four pm
and four pm Chris Merrill will come aboard and he'll
be on until seven pm. So keep it locked right here,
and don't forget to hit that iHeartRadio Talkback app on
the talkback button on the app so you can be
(00:26):
in conversation. Talk to me, talk to us. Let us
know what your predictions are for tonight's Golden Globes. They
kick off in a couple of hours right here in
Beverly Hills, and I want to know who do you
think is going to win? You want to bet some money?
Let's see, let's see what we can come up with. Okay,
all right, let's get into some updates about what's going
(00:47):
on in New Orleans. It's a huge story and it
continues to unfold daily as more details emerge about what
happened on Bourbon Street during that attack on New Year's Day.
New Year's Day, early morning, about three a m. One
of the things that I found out, because I do
(01:08):
follow local news in New Orleans is that they have
since put some barriers up in and around Bourbon Street. Now,
I have visited quite often, I've been there to Bourbon Street,
and I didn't notice that there were barriers, whether vehicular barriers,
police cars or traffic control cars or other sorts of
those kind of plastic tall cones or some sort of
(01:31):
blockad there to prevent cars from traveling down Bourbon Street
and to make it more of a pedestrian walkway. However,
something that has happened is that people are examining these
barriers in New Orleans more closely, and New Orleans officials
actually came out and said that their barriers that they
have up were not equipped intentionally to prevent vehicles from
(01:58):
being able to traverse down that area or avoid those barriers,
that they would not stop cars from entering onto these
pedestrian heavy streets like Bourbon Street. That is a huge problem.
I was thinking about this while listening to some of
the updates. I remember happening upon Santa Monica Boulevard while traveling,
(02:20):
and I remember it being shut down for some sort
of event. I don't remember what it was. This was
last year, and I noticed, because it's a huge crowd,
and my first instinct was to be a little nervous
about the crowd and safety, because it's just the world
we live in now. I noticed that there were huge trucks,
(02:41):
garbage trucks not quite eighteen wheelers but a little smaller
than that, and other actual small barricades that were positioned
to block off Santa Monica Boulevard from vehicular traffic. They
wanted people to be able to revel in the street
and do whatever it is they were doing, and they
made sure that people on the outside couldn't as much
(03:04):
couldn't so much as see in see onto Santa Monica boulevards.
Not only was our visual obstructed, but you couldn't even
think about getting anything larger than a scooter down that
walkway there down that street. So it is possible, and
it should be more commonplace, but we are saying that
there are lots of holes when it comes to these
(03:25):
sorts of barricades. We're bringing this up because obviously in
New Orleans, the person who is now suspected, but it
is confirmed that who went around the barrier there New
Orleans on Bourbon Street was not able to be stopped.
And when you think about that we talk about prevention,
(03:45):
and we also were able to then find out the
kind of vehicle that he used and where he got
that vehicle from that he used to go onto the
sidewalk and then unfortunately harm and kill fourteen people killed
for it people and harmed many many more. And the
number does fluctuate. You'll see some reports that say fourteen.
(04:05):
You'll say some that's say fifteen because the person himself
was included in the original number of those deceased. But regardless,
a huge number of casualties and even more in the
hospital hopefully still recovering now. The link there to Las
Vegas is that the same day there was another explosion
right there in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
(04:29):
You might have seen it. It is a huge building.
There aren't barriers in front of that hotel because it
is just a place in which people can pull their
car right up to the front door, as this person did,
and he pulled up his cyber truck and detonated it.
It blew up and it only killed one person himself.
(04:51):
Lucky for everyone else around that there was not more
carnage like in New Orleans. The link, the commonality both
of these cars were rented from the Touro app. Robert,
can you play the audio there please?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So when people describe your company as the Airbnb of cars, what.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Do you say, I say, that's just about right.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Like Airbnb, Turo is the dominant player and it's peer
to peer market.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Selection, price and convenience, I think are the reasons why
we think fundamentally we are better than traditional rental car.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
When you have a slogan way better than a rental
car that must antagonize the incumbents, the rental car agencies.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
We are not intending to antagonize them, you know, but
they are in many ways the reference in people's heads.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Do you think you're eating into their business?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Partly?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But that's not really the core of Turo. I mean,
our core mission is to enable people to monetize their cars.
We've obviously run into, you know, the antagonism and the
you know, and the hostility from the rental car industry.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Your core mission is monetization. However, that core mission will
undoubtedly change because now the core mission of this company, Touro,
the car sharing peer to peer app, is going to
be how to manage those who use their platform to
rent cars and whether or not their vetting process, their
security process is in fact strong enough, is credible enough
(06:20):
to hopefully prevent people from using cars in ways that
are outside of their terms, outside of their contract, especially
when it comes to using them for vehicular assaults or
anything else that could be deemed illegal. I'll tell you
more about Touro as an app, what you should know,
a statement from the CEO that does in fact speak
(06:42):
to what is going on with the investigation, and we'll
give a little bit of context about the history of
vehicular assaults before we get into how sleeping badly could
be lethal for you. How your sleep habits can predict
your life expectancy. So I'll help you with that. When
(07:03):
we come back, we'll wrap all this up. We have
a lot more show to get to, and in the
last segment, I have a story about zang Ku Chicken,
zang Ku Chicken, the zang U Chicken chain. You might
enjoy the chicken, but will you enjoy the story about
murder dot dot dot We'll find out when we come back.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Tiffany Hobbs here with you, and we were just talking
about the Touro app. We listened to a little bit
of audio from the kind of summing up what the
app is, and some statements from the company. Because they
are now in the limelight, not because they are an
amazing service, which they may be, I'm not sure, but
(07:47):
now their service is being questioned and they are in
the limelight because twice in one week this previous week,
their cars on their peer to peer sharing app were
used in two oh separate deadly vehicular attacks in the
United States, New Orleans, Louisiana on Bourbon Street on the
(08:08):
morning of New Year's Day, and then later in Las Vegas, Nevada.
So both of those attacks, again not necessarily linked because
of any sort of personal relationship with these suspects, but
because of them both using this car to this peer
to peer sharing app, peer to peer car sharing app.
(08:28):
The CEO came out and said, quote, we do not
believe that either renter involved in the Vegas and New
Orleans attacks had a criminal background that would have identified
them as a security threat. We are actively partnering with
law enforcement authorities as they investigate both incidents. You don't say,
(08:52):
of course, they're partnering with law enforcement and authorities to
investigate because everyone wants to know why were they chosen
and why were these two suspects both interested in using
their cars as assault properties, right ways to assault large
(09:14):
crowds or to at least inflict a lot of harm
on bystanders. Now, this prompted in PR to do some
research and they released an article yesterday, a story yesterday,
just yesterday, detailing how the Department of Homeland Security discussed
vehicular attack concerns way back in twenty ten, that is
(09:37):
fifteen years ago. The Department of Homeland Security knew that
this was coming. It was on their radar. They knew,
they were seeing and hearing whispers quietly, I imagine at first,
and then they became louder about the propensity, about the
(09:57):
likelihood of cars and other vehicles used to commit crimes
and assault on unsuspecting people. Now, in the last fifteen
years since this Department of Homeland Security unclassified document was released,
there have been a number of vehicular assaults. Aside from
(10:18):
New Orleans, which is the latest, there's Niece in France.
There was the Christmas Market in Berlin, there was Barcelona, Charlotteville, London,
and also Stockholm, Sweden. New Orleans and Las Vegas are
the latest and that just happened just a few days ago,
(10:38):
four days ago now. But because of it, again, Turo
is completely under scrutiny, and they absolutely should be. I
was talking to board op Raoul yesterday and he said
on air that one of the ways that he was
looking for passive income was through using the Turo app,
and he used the app last year. He put his
(11:00):
own personal vehicle there. He went on a vacation out
of the country and while he was out of the country,
he tracked his vehicle using the Turo app and GPS,
and he was able to see his vehicle, which was
only approved in the state of California. He saw his
vehicle cross state lines, cross international lines, and travel into Mexico.
(11:26):
He does not know what happened in Mexico with his vehicle,
because they brought the car back and returned it and
nothing was out of place. But Raoul says again he
has no clue what they did. He still doesn't know.
But that sort of anxiety that not knowing not only
caused Raoul to stop using Touro, to stop hosting on Touro,
(11:48):
but it made him very skeptical of the service, and
a lot of people now are skeptical of this app.
So here are some things you should know about the
app used by both the New Orleans and Las veg attackers.
Turle says that they don't believe that either renter had
a criminal background that would have identified them as a
(12:08):
security threat. They also said that they were outraged by
misuse of our marketplace by two individuals who perpetuated these acts.
The big picture is five percent of one hundred and
eighty four vehicle ramming incidents between nineteen seventy and two
(12:31):
thousand and eighteen used a rented car. So there's a
thirty or thirty forty year period nineteen seventy to twenty
and eighteen, and there was some research done, some analysis.
There were one hundred and eighty four vehicle ramming incidents
(12:51):
and five percent of them used a rented car. You
don't have to be a mathematician to know that that's
a lot. One is too many, and this is certainly
more than one. The peer rental app is similar to Airbnb.
It allows you to rent directly from an owner rather
(13:11):
than going through a major rental company like Hertz or Enterprise.
You might be seeing it as a more economical option,
something cheaper, quicker. It also allows you to have a
more diverse array of vehicles, whereas with certain companies you
might only be locked into you know, your Ultima, your
Civic or something like that. You can find other cars
(13:34):
like a cyber truck or anything else on the Turo app.
Because this is peer to peer. On the app, renters
can choose the location they want to rent in and
when they need the car. I've looked at the interface
because at one point I was considering using Turo to rent.
I ended up not because something felt off. Something felt off.
(13:59):
Not only did it fill off, because it just really,
in my opinion, made the hosts on the app vulnerable
to anyone renting. They don't know who I am or
what I intend to do in their car. But it
also made me uneasy because I'm using someone's vehicle and
I don't know what they do in their car. Rental
cars at least give you a little bit more confidence,
(14:20):
and there's lots of stereotypes about rental cars. We know them,
but there's still some assurance that at least it is
secure by a company. Well, Turo is not as secure
as they thought, so Once you decide to rent in
what location you decide to go to, you can view
models and prices before making your selection, and then you
(14:41):
can coordinate a pickup and drop off with the car's owner.
You go and meet the owner in person and you
pick the car up. If you don't want to meet
the person in a person in person, you don't want
to be in front of a person, then you can
actually organize a remote handoff, which means you can unlock
the car using an app or a lock box code.
There's a fifteen dollars minimum for each trip, and they
(15:05):
have different fees and different prices that make it a
more savory option if you're trying to save some money.
But Turo is under fire because it does not seem
that they are vetting people who are renting nearly as
securely as they say. This is not the first time
(15:26):
that Turo has seen its cars used in crime. Car
rentals from Turro and another app called get Around have
been stolen and involved in crimes like drug trafficking. In
twenty twenty one, there was a woman in Houston who
was charged after renting seven cars through the Turo app,
(15:47):
where four of them were used in aggravated robberies. TURO
says that owners must meet rigorous safety requirements and that
all those involved must be at least twenty one years oh.
They say that renters are screened. All renters are screened
before booking a car to reduce risky behavior in our marketplace.
(16:13):
They're trying to kind of get you to look over here,
look at the shiny thing. Don't look at us. This
could happen anywhere. They say, it could happen with anything.
Well it didn't. It happened with you, Turo, And now
you are under the spotlight. And they will continue to
be under the spotlight as these sorts of attacks are
examined further and links are made, and as vehicular attacks
(16:34):
continue to be the convenient way of terrorists, this is
something that will be really reckoned with. Can it be
prevented or are we all just sitting ducks? I don't know,
but I know I'm not feeling that much more confident
about being in large crowds. And I hate to go
into the new year with that sort of anxiety. But
(16:56):
this is what these sorts of attacks see to create. Sadly,
when we come back, you might be losing sleep because
of all these stories, you might be stressed out. It's
a lot going on in the news. Well, i'll tell
you why your sleep is so important and if you're
sleeping badly, how that could be lethal, that could be really,
(17:17):
really damaging to your health. And then we're going to
get into the Zanku chicken chain and the murder story
attached to this chain. I found out about it last
week because of social media, and I'm going to share
it with you today. It is amazing. So stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Tiffany Hobbs here with you until six when Chris Merrill
comes aboard, and we'll cross with him in a little while.
Let's get into your sleep habits. Do you remember when
you were younger and your parents, probably your mom told
you to go to bed, go to bed, and she wanted,
or they wanted, or someone wanted, maybe it was you,
because you were that responsible as a kid to have
(18:00):
some sort of regular bedtime. You were supposed to go
to bed that time every night, to develop a sleep
schedule and to create a habit. And then as you
got older, you started to embrace freedom and you can
go to bed whenever you want it. You didn't have
to go to bed at all. If you were in
your teens or your twenties, you probably made a habit
(18:20):
of seeing just how long you could go without sleep,
especially if you were out having a good time, or
in college like I was cramming for finals. But as
you get older, sleep becomes even more important. And there's
a new study that has come out and it says
that sleeping badly could be lethal for you because failing
(18:44):
to stick to a regular bedtime and waking time increases
the risk of a lot of terrible things. I'll tell
you what those terrible things are in a moment. But
developing a really regular sleep schedule is something that adults
are being encouraged to do. And this comes from a
(19:07):
consultant neurologist out of the UK's London Bridge Hospital, and
they explain that sleep regulates vital functions in your body
and that time plays a crucial role in those functions.
Here's what happens if you do not have a regular
sleep schedule or waking schedule. Any of these things could happen.
(19:29):
If you go on WebMD and you google you don't
get enough sleep, or something to that effect. You put
those buzzwords in WebMD, I'm sure will tell you that
you have all of these things at the same time.
So here they are. Consequences of poor sleep include higher
blood pressure, weight gain and obesity, diabetes this is just wonderful,
(19:52):
isn't it. Depression, a higher risk of dementia, heart disease, stroke,
different types of cancers, and probably just a really groggy attitude.
Just you're just walking around just being just a sour
person and people don't want to be around you. That
(20:13):
might be good for some of you who are not
wanting people to be around you, but overall, the health
implications are not good. If you do not have a
regular sleep habit. We're gonna pivot. Talked about pivoting earlier
because that's all you really need to know. Get your sleep,
figure out a good time. Let's go back to this
weight gain obesity angle. Okay, if you don't get sleep,
(20:37):
it will allow you or it will disallow you to
regulate certain hormones, and those things can increase appetite and
cause you to gain weight. Something else that can increase
your appetite and cause you to gain weight is a
just delicious chicken chain that you might have seen here
(20:58):
around Los Angeles count And for a little history, this
chicken chain originated in East Hollywood. I imagine quite a
few people can attribute weight gain to this chicken chain.
It is called Zangku Chicken z a n ko U,
and it is a Middle Eastern mid Eastern eatery that
(21:19):
specializes in very garlicy fair and their chicken is famous.
But not only is their chicken good, but they have
become popular in the news on social media because of
something that has been uncovered and that is directly tied
to the owners of zang Ku Chicken. All right, we
(21:40):
are back for a fruity Friday at Zangku Chicken.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
This is an la patient we had to go. Here's
the menu. Also google the zang Fou chicken murders if
you're interested, because.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Is your la in a minute and I'm it's zang
Ku Chicken.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
To do two things.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
One, have one of their delicious roasted chicken pea rafts.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Two I'll tell you about the Zangou chicken murders.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So Zanku is the name of a river in Armenia,
but the.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Garlic paste and chicken schwarma originate in sixties Araba Root, Lebanon,
where many Armenians settled after fleeing the genocide.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Zanku Chicken, I, named synonymous with mouthwatering rotisserie chicken and
that unforgettable garlic sauce, became the center of a chilling
family tragedy that no one saw coming.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Zanku Chicken murders shocked the world in two thousand and three.
Zankou Chicken, a beloved Los Angeles eatery, was founded by
the Iskandarian family. Their success story turned dark, Robin, why
are you laughing? Why are this is not a funny
story board, op Robin. I'm sorry. I wasn't laughing at that.
(22:45):
I was talking Chris, Sure, sure, yeah you saw Richie
she was laughing. What's so funny about murder and chicken?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Robin?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
You were telling me something off air? To Robin, what
were you recommending the rice? Like? Don't get shy now? Why? Okay,
so you've eaten there before, let me ask you this.
This is perfect. I've never had zang Ku Chicken. I've
passed many of their restaurants. I live near East Hollywood,
and so I see a lot of them. I've always
been curious. I was telling super producer Richie that I've
(23:15):
not had zang U Chicken, but that I've wanted to
go in, and I want to go in even more
now because I am a person who loves murder mystery
or murder stories. I'm one of those strange people who
can watch those things and go to sleep after just fine.
So you've gone to Zangku Chicken? What did you think
about it? Robin? And then also did you know about
(23:37):
the murders? No, I didn't know about the murders.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Oh welcoly loves the chicken restaurant because it's down the
street from us.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh okay, And what were you recommending the rice? Right?
But do you now feel inclined to do some research
about the murders? Maybe, Richie? Have you ever had Zangku Chicken?
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I have not, but I am starving right now.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I'm making you munchie.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, and I love me a good like you know,
crime solving mysteries, Yes, of course, a little bit of
two for one.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It is. It's like it's like those those murdered dinners.
You can go to murder mystery dinners where they feed
you and you can crack the code. In this case,
the codes already cracked because we do have the details.
I will tell you more about the details of the
murders when we come back, and we'll cross with Chris
Merrill who's on at four, and we'll ask him some
questions about chicken and murder and the Golden Globes and
(24:33):
see what also is in store on his great show.
Tiffany Hobbs here with you for one more segment after this.
Kf I Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Now to you, Brigitita Diagastino, really quick, have you had
Zangu Chicken? I have had Zanku Chicken, So we'll talk
to you when we come back to for sure. I'll
tip back to you, Brigita Diiagastino. Go ahead, you're.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Tifney Hobbs here with you and we we were just
talking about the zank U chicken murders, the Zangu Chicken murders.
Zanku is a chicken chain popularized out here in the Southland.
They started in East Hollywood, but their story, because of
social media in the last few months, has really traveled
(25:18):
beyond the boundaries of Southern California, and now many more people,
including myself, are finding out about other things that are
now linked and have been linked not just now, but
have been historically linked to the Zankou Chicken chain. It
also answers some questions about expansion and franchising, because people
(25:40):
have asked over the years to be able to take
Zanku outside of southern California. However, what's being said is
m maybe not the most desirable move because of the
sordid history attached to it. Not to say that other brands,
whether food or otherwise, don't have crime attached, but this story,
(26:02):
this story seems very salacious. So let's recap. The zang
Ku Chicken murders referred to the two thousand and three
double murder suicide of Madeiro Eskandarian, who was the owner
at the time of the zang Ku Chicken fast food
Empire was a family run business, mother son daughter as well,
(26:26):
and on January fourteenth, two thousand and three, Eskandarian Madeiro's Escandarian,
the son, shot and killed his sister and his mother
after a heated argument. So domestic dispute ends in a
double murder, but it doesn't stop there because Eskandarian then
(26:50):
also killed himself, so it became a double murder and
a suicide. And in the aftermath aftermath of those murders,
the Zanku Chicken brand was divided into two. One side
of the family took half and the other side took
the following half, and a series of court cases followed,
which included a trademark dispute that ended up going to trial,
(27:14):
and the families then filed a wrongful death lawsuit, which
was dismissed because of lawyer issues and whatnot. But now
as a result of all of this, there are two
separate zang Ku Chicken businesses. You might see the Zangku
restaurants around, but they're not all owned by the same
(27:35):
side of the family. They are literally split half and
half half owns this half owns that. None of us
as patrons really know who owns what. We just see
the restaurant. But that is preventing a lot of the
franchising because when one wants to do one half wants
to do one thing with the restaurant, the other half
can ubject. So it's a really interesting story. It's been
(27:59):
covered in so media outlets, including something called the Death
of an American Dream, which was a podcast. There's also
an essay collection called the zang Ku Chicken Murders, and
there's a YouTube video called the Story of the zang
Kou Chicken Murders. And it's just for whatever reason. Now,
it's not like it's an anniversary or anything. Well, January fourteenth, actually, yeah,
(28:23):
January fourteenth makes it two thousand and three. Let's do
some quick math. Twenty two years since it's happened. So
the twenty second anniversary is coming up in a couple
of weeks. Maybe that's why people are paying more attention
to it, why there's renewed interest in it. Social media
takes you stories and sends them into the stratosphere. Someone
we don't want to send into the stratosphere. Someone we
(28:45):
want to keep right here, near and dear to us,
is Chris Merrill. Chris Merrill, who was on from four
to six? Do we have Chris four to seven? I'm
taking hours from you. I'm trying to give myself extra hours,
you know, stay on from four.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
People are rejoicing, they were very excited.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
No, four to seven, four, I can stay on with
you if you please.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Do I want to hear more about the mad Madera.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
They came in for a battle of chicken, but they
didn't expect the madder.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
The Medes. And do you know at some of these restaurants,
they actually have the stories kind of up on the
wall like a badge of honor.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Like the.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Last segment, you're talking about this and Robin is talking
about my downe there the line to me and she says,
she says, I've had this Zenko chicken. It's it's great.
And I said, and the murders, you know, and she says,
she says, have you tried it? And I said, mader no,
she said you should try it.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
And then you called her out laughing.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I thought she was laughing at the murder, mad at you,
Chris Merrill, and we all laugh at you and with you.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
You're very kind.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I haven't talked to you in a while. It's really
good to hear your voice. I'm not usually in on Sundays.
I'm here on Saturdays. Change that I you know, it's
from your ears or from your lips to whoever's ears,
whoever's listening, who could make that change or that addition.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Through every Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Tiffany Hobbs and the latest mad what's on your show? Well,
if you haven't noticed the rent, it's too damn.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
The rent is too damn.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I remember that guy, and it's going up. It is.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
He was a prophet, come to find.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Out, Toothsayer extraordinaire.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And if you thought that things were going to get better,
well they might. If you're a renter, if you own
a home, it might be horrible.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Okay, yeah, I we'll.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Tell you why that is coming up. That's going to
be a busy year for going broke.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah. They love to separate us from our money, don't they.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
And then a lot of people are mad at Ralph's okay,
And I'm actually on team ralph on this one. Yeah,
and uh, I'll tell you why that is, because Ralph
is catching all kinds of grief.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
So I'm on. I'm on team Ralphs.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
And a lot of people don't like it, and I
don't blame them for not liking it, but I gotta
tell you, if we're calling balls and strikes, yeh, steer like,
I'm with them giving it to Ralph's. So that and
of course our la law, the law makers, the law breakers,
the times there ought to be a law. We'll give
you the the updates on the Vegas bombing, because that's
looking more and more like it's a it's a tragedy
we've seen play out all too many times in the shadows.
(31:30):
Vegas may be a little different because it played out
right on television in front of all of us. And
then of course the the Globes tonight.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, the big business like Sailor.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Cala' is supposed to be on that ga. I gotta
tell you that's Tiffany. Hanla's really been mailing it in lately.
Speaker 2 (31:47):

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Let me ask you a quick question, So, do you
have any predictions for the Golden Globes, anything that you
were watching out for. You're expecting anything, youse.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
So what I'm watching out for is if Nicki Glazer.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, this is everybody else, I hope, So I kind
of do.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I love Nicky Glazer, and if there's anybody that has
the cojones to face up to the whole cancel culture thing,
which I feel is very twenty twenty two. All of
a sudden, Yes, I feel like Nicky Glaser is the
one that will push that envelope. You know, Ricky Gervais
did it, and the question is, is Nicky Glazer going to
overstep Ricky Gervais.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Okay, I'm all for it.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I love both those comedians, so I'm all for it.
And I'm excited that she's getting a shot at hosting
and I want to see more of her, yeah, in
that hosting role. So I hope she does great. Me
hope she crushes it.
Speaker 2 (32:48):

have some some of the results coming out, so I'll
be listening into that.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
No, I was like that was in the evening, so
there were no there's no prizes for the late comers.

So no prizes from my mom, just me and her

my family's.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Terrible on the radio. Oh, they're so bad.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Everybody makes a mistake of trying to put their family
on the radio, and mine was just a disaster.
