San Pedro Fish Market is back, baby! Michael Ungaro is on the phone to chat about the reopening of the market, which has been around for nearly as long as Disneyland! Let’s talk about Lionel Richie. Fans turned up to see his show at Times Square but were outraged when it turned out to be a book launch instead of a musical gig. A new app called Hily stops women from receiving explicit images and texts from suitors. It’s called a consent guard, and it cuts down on “cyber flashing.” Also,’80s names for girls have become unpopular, while boys' names have stayed at the same level of popularity.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm Andy Reesmeyer in FROMO this evening. So much news today, Ronner,
is your head spinning always is, But like what it's
like the old days with the breaking.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
News, I don't know. I think we're in kind of
unprecedented territory here. I guess that's true. I just I
feel like what we had this We had this pursuit.
A couple hours ago.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
They had an arrest in not there were two stories
of bodies found in Tesla's and KTLA sent a push
alert saying it had something to do with celestreevas. That
was not correct. If anybody got that push alert, that
was wrong. They did, however, arrest somebody in conjunction with
(00:49):
the body that was found in the Tesla on the
same day as Celestia was found in a Tesla. Pah,
I think we had one Tesla body and one Honda body.
Oh Honda, is that right? Okay? There weren't both Tesla'sorry
about that. Apologize. That's like a big embarrassment for a
car guy too, because at Tesla a Honda they are
not the same. Uh and uh. Then we had this
(01:12):
said police situation happening in bel air. Saw the helicopter
over there earlier looking for a murder suspect. I asked
the KTLA desk too, like, what is going on here?
Do we have any indication? And Elizabeth over at the
desk said, I wish we had any idea, But they're
searching for a murder suspect, that's all they're saying. We'll
bring you any updates as soon as we get them,
(01:35):
but we're gonna do some more nice stuff, some fun stuff.
After a two plus year wait, what feels like even
more than that? Down in San Pedro, the San Pedro
Fish Market is back open baby on the waterfront.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Magical ocean views and its well known menu, including its
world famous shrimp tray, has placed this megendary rest is
reclaiming it's place on the waterfront here. Owner Henry Ungaro
says this is a true return to form for the restaurant,
which has been a staple on the San Pedro waterfront
for nearly seven decades.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
We're part of the West Harbor Project. We're going to
be an anchor in the project. So this is the
first step to us getting back to who what we
call who we are as the San Pigo Fish Market.
It's back to fifteen hundred seats on the waterfront. You
can get all our delicious food, phenomenal bar menu. We've
actually added some new items to the menu that weren't
here before.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I can't wait to hear all about that. Joining us
right now is Henry On, Garo's brother Mike, and Garo
the Fishman himself joining us live via satellite phone from
San Pedro. It feels like that's so far away from Burbank.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
It kind of is.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You offered. I think I don't know if you offered,
but I think I said, hey, Bud, please come on
the show, but call. I'm not going to make you
drive all the way up to Burbank. Congratulates on the opening.
Your brother did a really good job today. I was
I was expecting to see you, but I'm happy to
hear from you right now. I know we had talked
about this. The reaction, at least that I could see
from the TV today. I haven't been able to make
(03:12):
it down there, but I'll try maybe this weekend, maybe next.
Has just been very very positive. How you feeling.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Yeah, people are super excited. We're really happy. It's been
a long, long long process. You know, it's hard opening
a restaurant or business is one thing. Trying to open
one that's not permanent. Right, we're going to be there
three to five years while we rebuild the original location.
But there's no box to check for that. You know,
you go to go through all these agencies and you
(03:39):
know they've got all the red tape they've got to
get through just to try to help you out. And
they've been super helpful. Between Janie Haunt's office and Tim
mccosker's office, our supervisor and counselman, and health, Department of
Building and Safety, everyone's looking at this the temporary Were
you thinking thirty ninety sixty days? What like, No, we
need like three to five years?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like what whoa, Yeah, they probably don't do a lot
of that three to five years. Most restaurants that are
open for three to five years. Yeah, most restaurants that
are open for three to five years are not intended
to be that.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
No, And then then you're like, well, what do you need,
Like you know, like a couple hundred seats, I go,
now we need thirty three around twenty three thousand square feet. Man,
the fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred seats. We got this
whole kitchen built out of refurbished containers, not even refurbished,
so just shipping containers that we welded together. And then
this giant kitchen complex got sixty feet of griddles and
(04:26):
friars and ovens, and then you got to you know,
walk in freezers and walking refugerators and all of it.
It's sitting on top of the ground right It's it's
it's like permanent, but it's not permanent. Wow, but is
looking at it, it's like we've never heard of this before.
How does this work? And like I don't know?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, yeah, and you just guys, you figure it out.
I mean you and all of you are so you're
it's a family owned business. You are so industrious and
you just make it work. You a multiple locations in
the South Bay area and Long Beach, San Pedro and
the Harbor, and then also U there's another one.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Right right now. Yeah, well right now we've actually kind
of shunk it all down, so we're just focusing on
these bigger waterfront locations. So we've got Long Beach, we've
got Pedro. We're about to break ground on what we're
doing up in Monterey and or California on the Fisherman's work,
and then we're in talks with the Sydney Anaheim because
there's a whole bunch of stuff going on there that
we're interested in, and we have a lot of customers
(05:19):
over there too, so we're We've got a lot of
a lot of plans, but it's just getting through the
hurdles right and getting it open and financing it and
building it and figuring out how to make it work.
So this one, I think is super crazy. I got
and if you kind of look at this thing, you're like,
how did you make this work?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, And how far away is it from the original location?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
It's like a stone sparrow. I mean, it's all in
the same area of where where where. If you're familiar
with what portscal Village was in the back of the passes,
this is where l passel Cantina used to be and
then later was Alkapulco. So all that got torn down
and they're like, look, we got this thirty three thousand
square foot pad. We don't have any plans for us
at least the next three to five years. If you
want to set up shop there while you rebuild your
(06:04):
original location. That's great. We could do that. So we
basically get the temporary least to exist there, and then
I signed a forty nine year lease to rebuild on
the original location basically where we were before. So we're
working all that, all the logistics out on that, and
we'll probably break ground on that in a few months.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is it hard to be? I mean, I know that
a lot of restaurants in Los Angeles are closing, but
you're going full steam ahead.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Well yeah, you know, it's crazy. We're really lucky because
we have the super loyal customer bas o. Next year
is going to be our seventieth anniversaries. Wow. The original
original location called are You.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Almost as old as from a Reward? Almost as old
as Disneyland? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah? I think there are fifty five and we're fifty six.
That's amily owned kind of thing. It's we have a
lot of similarities to them. You know. It's interesting, was
we pulled our customers, the ones that travel from out
of town to visit us. It turns out the two
places that seventy percent of our customers where they're visiting
from out of town is awesome divisiey Land on the
same weekend. How crazy that is?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Wild? Well, I think it's it's worth it. You're worth
the hype, worth the wait. The line sometimes can be
kind of crazy. You always tell people coming like Monday
at eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, I mean that's okay. So so here's the deal.
If you're like, hey, we love Pedro, but I can't
wait in that line, you can go open table and
book a location and look to see in our Long
Beach location.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Go.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Very good. Well, congratulations to you for forty nine years
and forty nine more and another forty nine after that
for the San Pedro Fish Market, the world famous shrimp
tray man. I I dream about it. It's a mountain
of food. It's a mountain of seafood mountain. It's a
fun A Mariscos massacre, I believe is what we.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Said, Uh, massacre in a seventy two ounce period. You
can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'm good for the whole week. There you go. Michael
Angaro from San Pedro Fish Market, thank you for joining us.
Congratulations on the opening. You can find them, of course
in Pedro. Soon to be up in Long Bee or
Monterey rather and of course on open table if you
do want to skip those lines and you want to
have a sit down experience not on the water, but
not far from it over in Long.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Beach, lot on the water too. So one you can
watch the sun. One you can watch the sunset. Com
We'll get all the information.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
The more clear than what I have outlined here. Mike,
always good to talk to you. Congratulations and we'll talk
to you soon. There he goes San Pedro Fish Market,
ron or have you been No?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, I want that fish mound that you just described,
didn't I didn't? I sell it real well. The beer
really sold it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The beer is incredible and I don't know what they do,
and you can buy it to these spices that they
put on their seafood.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I was writing it down when you started speaking to me.
It's San Pedro Fish Market, San Pedro Fish Market. I
need that a year younger than Disneyland. It's that it's
that storied in the South.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Bay, so it has to be good. Then, I'm telling you.
I think about that shrimp tray all the time. And
you can get some of their their spices and seasonings
at their website, and so you can try to do
it yourself at home. It won't come close. So this
isn't some closely guarded secret like the kernel. I don't
know if they If they do it a little different
for the people who are buying it, you know, off
(09:22):
the shelf. Maybe they put a little something something. Oh
is Mike still there?
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I'm still here. You can also go to Goldbelly dot
com and order our shrimp trays and ship them anywhere
in the country. Hey like, do it yourself version and
it's broady in ten minutes on your stall top.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Now we got to come down there and take it
for a test drive in person. Yeah, And and the
seventy teen ound per you can bathe in it. You know,
it's a point where you could just dunk your whole
head in there.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
If you really need the visuals, you go to Amazon
Prime and search Kings of Fish, and you can watch
our TV show where we talk about the whole history
of the business, how we make the trains and everything.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Listen. I don't know what's going to happen with linear TV.
I don't know what's going to happen with with terrestrial radio.
But I'll tell you what Mike Angaro's media empire will
be here at the end of time, our hope. So, Mike,
thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
An avalanche of information will be entering the pop culture
sphere here in around forty minutes or so. Because Taylor
Swift's new record is coming out. We may just listen
to a single and just see what the vibe is,
just to see. I'm not like a big Taylor Swift person.
I'd like to just know why everyone's going to be
screaming tonight. I think it's like something we have to do.
(10:38):
But to talk about Lionel Richie for just a second.
This is a crazy story that I feel like this
wouldn't have happened before the Internet because we just would
have never known about it. But Lionel Richie fans are upset.
(10:58):
Page six says they were revolting on Monday night because
they showed up at a Times Square concert venue that's
in New York City expecting to see Lionel Richie give
an intimate performance. Some fans paid as much as six
hundred dollars a pop for stubs on ticket resale sites
(11:18):
like Ticketmaster and stub Hub. It was built Truly, an
evening of Lionel Ritchie and friends. Page six says one
person said they paid twelve hundred dollars for the evening
and had special T shirts made, but when Lionel Richie
came out he took the stage, they realized that it
(11:40):
was not a concert that they had signed up for,
but instead a book talk, an hour long book talk
about his new memoir called Truly. He was there being
interviewed by ABC's Robin Roberts, and there was no day dancing,
(12:01):
singing hardly for the whole night long, and certainly no
dancing on the ceiling of that night or anywhere else
for that matter. People were mad, people started walking out.
Somebody yelled shut up and sing. Another person was removed
after screaming I want my money back. According to this
(12:23):
page six article, somebody says at one point he told
a story about being robbed, and someone called back, so
were we. It was a Q and A after the talk,
and some people ask for refunds, but Lionel Richie's camp
(12:45):
was pointing the fingers at fans, saying it was always
advertised as a moderated Q and A no musical performance,
And it seems some customers did not read the language.
Average cost, according to line Richie his team was only
seventy seven dollars and that included a copy of the book.
But the six hundred or twelve hundred dollars numbers those
(13:06):
were just because of the secondary markups. It is confusing, though,
because he's doing a residency. I think he was doing
a I mean, he's young enough that he can perform,
so I understand why you might think an evening with
Lionel Richie might mean he was going to sing. But
also if you read it and you saw that Robin
Roberts was going to be there, what were you thinking
was going to happen? I would love to know. But
(13:28):
at the same time, I think, you know what, this
guy maybe a little bit of a trickster. You know,
if you look at that dancing on the ceiling video,
he is dancing on the ceiling. Indeed, Lionel Richie might
be a witch dubiously creepy behaviors in the Hello video Roner,
(13:51):
do you remember that video?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I believe so.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Maybe people thought Robin Roberts was going to be singing backup,
h I mean that would be pretty cool. I bet
she's got a good voice.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
A lot of the a lot of those, you know,
people who are good performers, who are good talkers. They
can sing roner. Can you sing? No, it's creepy. It
sounds like the opening to that Wait a minute, sorry,
are you saying creep singing is creepy? Or just when
you sing you feel like it's creepy? Oh? I sound
like a serial killer when they sing?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
How is that?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I will not be doing it to prove it. You
don't have to. I'm not going to put you on
the spot like that. That's very funny to me. You
would make children cry if they're in the car with
their parents. Is it?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What? What is a serial I can't even what? Can you?
You were going to sort of give me an example
of what it was without singing. Oh, there's that show
with the guy from Lost called uh what is it?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's a supernatural show and there's a creepy version of
Case Rossra that opens the show.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's what you singing sounds. Yeah, it's really it's unacceptable.
Did you at one point want to sing and then
somebody put this into your head like, hey, buddy, you
sound you sound like a serial kid. It's just never
a good idea.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It's like like if if I were sent to a
black site, I could probably make a detainee speak.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
In short order. Oh man, I really want to hear
you say.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I do.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I do, But I'll tell you what. My girlfriend really
doesn't like singing either. And you know I was in
a band, so this is tough for me. I mean
it were Yeah, what kind of band it was, it
doesn't matter. It was, well you brought it up. It
was a piano A piano rock band.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
All right, A piano well, that's almost as good as
a flute rock band.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It's it's a piano rock band. And I used to
play dive bars like across the country. And do you
know how dumb you look when you show up with
a piano at a dive bar or a cassio keyboard
and the sound guy's like, I don't know what, I
don't know what to do with that. It doesn't project tough.
It definitely does not look cool, not that I like
ever there was any question on cool or tough when
(15:43):
when you looked at me.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
But a musician, though, probably made some dough at that. Yeah,
some free drinks A shift drink, one shift drink. I
think we paid to play most places, you.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Know, that's kind of the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Was it like out of the Blues Brothers where there's
chain leak fence and and and people throw beer bottles out.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, it's exactly what. It was, like a lot of tomatoes.
But it was crazy because we were playing in the Midwest,
and you know, that's where I grew up, and there
was all this sort of emphasis on country music and
we were these like little goobery kids with sweater vests
on who were playing piano rock, and it just I mean,
it was like we couldn't get out of town quick enough.
And then we came to La because we thought we're
(16:21):
going to make it, and then obviously found out that
well I work in radio and television now, so that
should tell you enough.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Oh and by the way, that show, I was trying
to think of the name of it's called from and
the version of the Doris Day song at the beginning
of it, it'll make you suicidal.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Maybe we'll listen to it on the next segment here.
If you want to bring everybody down, I would. I
just want to. I just want to visualize with Ronner
and that sound and that voice because I don't. I
kind of don't believe. I think you got a good voice.
But let's hear that good voice. Do some news. How
about that. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It ain't Doris Day. It's a very descriptive example that
I can absolutely understand. Now, like that was you. You
nailed it. You didn't even have to sing, and I
understand exactly what you mean.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
It's a reason I'm a childless, middle aged bachelor.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh hey, but at least, at least we have this moment, right,
at least we're here together in this evening, if you
say so, with the wonderful citizens of Los Angeles and
Tony Tony, how you doing, Bud? Tony's like I got
to put on my headphones and he doesn't expect Yeah, yeah, dude,
good Tony Tony Orange County's own I guess. Yeah. Yeah.
(17:34):
He's got an arcade in his garage. It's just a
bunch of little emulators here. It's a bunch of little emulators.
This man has a Dave and Busters in the back house.
It looks nicer than it actually is. Well that may be.
I don't know if i'll if I'll, if I'll go
and see it in person, So at least I'm going
with that for now. It is if I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy
(17:57):
Reesemyer in for Mo Kelly on this Evening with mister Tony,
mister Mark Nikki, also on the Ones and twos. Good
A good a mate. Love when you do that. I'm
so sorry. It's so hard for me not to do
accents back to people. It is one of my fatal flaws.
I don't know why. I worked with this guy who
was British, and by the time that we both quit,
(18:21):
it was I couldn't even go into meetings with him
because I could not stop imitating it back to him.
And I didn't even realize I was doing it.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I do.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I love it when I say good ay to Americans
and they say it back because they always giggle and
I think it's adorable. Yeah, we like to share stuff. Yeah,
it's cultural. It's a cultural exchange.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We are obsessed with accents, so it's it's fun. We
have a lot of fun accents here ourselves. I can
do a valley girl accent for you. Let's hear it.
Oh my god, becare Yeah, that's pretty good. I mean,
you know, I don't know what valley, the San Gabriel Valley. Okay,
(18:59):
where's that? Shout out to Covina. You know, dating apps
hard turn Dating apps are a fine hell. I think
you have this choice or this illusion of choice, and
you get all kinds of strangers that may or may
not be who they pretend to be. Pardon me while
(19:19):
I doctor Wendy Waalsh here for a second, But you
get all kinds of crazy things. If you've ever done
I was on the dating apps during the teens a bit,
not my teens, like the twenty teens, and you would
get all kinds of crazy stuff, words, photos, you name it.
Mostly women were getting crazy stuff. Not from me because
(19:41):
I'm respectful, But a dating app is now trying to
stop users from getting unsolicited sexual messages. This is a
real problem for women. Apparently thirty percent of women have
received explicit texts or images from people who are not
their partners. The app is in question is called highly
(20:02):
or Hilly. It apparently has forty million users. I talk
to some people today when I did the story on
KTLA full disclosure that they did not know what it was.
I've not heard of it, but they have something called
Consent Guard, and essentially what they're trying to do is
cut down on cyberflashing. That's what they're calling cyber flashing,
or the nudes that you don't ask for. Apparently, this
(20:22):
app uses an algorithm to scan the images that people
are sending and the words. So, for instance, if you
were to send an explicit message or a photo, it
would send the person you sent the message to a
notification that asks that person to either decline or consent,
and if the prompt goes unanswered, they say, the conversation
(20:44):
goes on like nothing ever happened, at least from the
app's perspective. How do you recover from that? I'm not sure.
Both of you clearly are on separate pages. You think
things are a little bit different. As of last year,
as I said, a third of women have received unsolicited
explicit photos for someone who was not a partner. I
(21:06):
wish that they would do this for other apps. I
wish on your messages it would say something like, your
partner is about to ask you a question with no
correct answer. Do you wish to proceed? The boys want
to hang out Sunday. But before you say yes, remember
it's your brother's kids birthday party that you said you'd
(21:28):
go to. That would be helpful dating app asking you
whether or not you want to see nudes. It's terrible
that the dating apps are so unromantic that you have
to introduce this kind of thing into this for it
to work. Hey, speaking of valley girls, these eighties names
(21:53):
that I think were very common for the valley girl, Jessica, Courtney, Heather,
they have fallen way out of favor. And what's kind
of interesting is that men's names are relatively the same.
So names like Michael or Christopher or Matthew those were
the top three most popular boy's names of the nineteen eighties.
(22:14):
Those are still fairly popular in twenty twenty eight five.
But the Social Securities Administration tracks popularity of names. I
guess that's what they're doing with your money. Not going
to have Social Security by the time I retire, But
thank god they're tracking the popularity of boys and girls' names.
(22:38):
Those names basically dropped, like Jessica, Jennifer, Amanda Ashley from
the top ten all the way to the four, five,
six hundreds. I don't know if this is true. My
speculation here is that most of the time, and I'm
going to generalize, so if you have an issue with
this statement, tweet at Kirk Hawkins for your complaints. But
(23:02):
I think that most of the time the men don't
have the final say in what the kid's name is
going to be, just in the way that in most
traditional relationships, men don't have the final say on anything.
And I'm assuming that if women are naming their kids,
they probably grew up with a lot of Heathers and
Ashley's and Courtney's and Jessica's, and maybe they didn't like
(23:26):
them very much and they're like, I'm not going to
name my kid. That mean girls or maybe their boyfriends
or husbands or father baby daddy in the scenario dated
people with those names. Your kid's never going to be
named one of your exes. If you're a man, your
kid will and she knows about him. Your kid will
(23:49):
never be named one of your exes. It's a rule, Ronnie,
Am I right? You got to be careful about that.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I one reason I am childless is because, as a
from uncle Fan, I said, if we ever have kids,
I'm gonna name my son Napoleon. Hey, hence we do
not have you, and that was the reason. Well, that's
one of men, I say. Well, or like I was
a James Bond fan too, and I thought, well, have
a blind a girl call him kiss kissing.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Bang bang. I'm surprised she didn't go for that. It's
just never gonna happen. I will dial one. That's all right.
Like I said, we all have each other.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Here.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand for Ronner.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
It's not don't look at me, it's don't listen to
me when I sing. Sorry, what was that again? I said,
it's not. And you know it doesn't matter. I was
talking about your singing. Oh, and I just really want
to hear. I want to build you up, my friend.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
There's there's absolutely no way on earth you're going to
manipulate me into singing. And the people's airwaves, the public's airwaves.
What have they done to us?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
This is this is a public service. You're right, this
is for the public good. We have an obligation to
the people of this good here, this here, good city,
this good here city, this city, this good town. I
don't know, man, it's easy for you to say, yeah,
it is a struggle. There's a lot of news today.
We are living in unprecedented times, et cetera, et cetera.
But we'll be with you all the way at least
(25:12):
until ten pm, and then mister George Noria will pop
on in and take over. But lots to still talk
about on this show. Man, it's a packed show. I
was a little nervous. I wasn't gonna be able to
talk for three hours. I guess I know. I'm confident
I could talk for three hours. If it's interesting, that's
another story. If you would like to be a part
of the show, you can find us on the iHeartRadio app.
(25:33):
Look for KFI, look for that little microphone button. You
can leave a message thirty seconds of your thoughts will
play them on the show. Anything from dating app stories
those are always fun, or just regular dating stories. Are
you anticipating this Taylor Swift release in the next eight
minutes to be life changing? I can't imagine I will
(25:58):
feel any different, but hey, you never know. The rapture
didn't happen last week. Maybe it will. Maybe it will.
At nine, let's go up to Maryland, where some firefighters
are behaving badly. This is very rare. Firefighters are generally
considered to be one of the most respected people in society.
(26:20):
They rank like number one on the lists of people
who just generally speaking, are well respected and for good reason.
They are our first responder. They do a great job.
They run it literally into the burning building. They keep
us safe. But these guys, uh, this is a bummer.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Thousands of gallons of water from an engine at the
station was deliberately sprayed onto the field.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Whoops.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Remember how I was like there great and then I
this is what happened.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
A few minutes after a player with a silver spring
Tacoma Thunderbolts crushed a ball over the fence and on
to the property of the adjacent fire station during batting
practice last July seventeenth. Thousands of gallons of water from
an engine at the station was deliberately sprayed onto the field.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That's what we were looking at.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
This is Montgomery County Fire Captain Christopher Riley told two
players who went to the station to complain, quote, I
wanted to get your attention. The document also states Captain
Riley told officers with the Maryland National Capitol Park Police
he did it out of frustration due to repeated incidents
involving baseball, striking, personal vehicles and equipment. News Force also
(27:37):
learned a second firefighter has been charged in connection with
the field sprang. According to the charging document, Firefighter Alan
Barnes backed the engine out of the station on the
University Boulevard before removing the hose from the engine, while
a video shows Captain Riley standing on top of the engine.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I gotta say, and I appreciate my respect the art
of journalism, but this guy, for he is so unfazed.
This reporter is so chill about this situation of all
these guys getting sprayed and the firefighters get in charged
with misdemeanors.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
Way got my friend, I come from Virginia. You know,
the team we were playing is from Virginia, So a
lot of families drove an hour and a half in
traffic to hopefully play after all this rain, and you
know didn't get a chance to play. So yeah, absolutely,
it just you know makes things difficult for us, but
you know, crazy experience.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
The chargery document also reveals paying fans had already started
arriving for the game between two teams competing in the
cal Ripken League.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Can't play baseball when in the field is flooded. All right, Well,
we'll keep you posted on how all that goes. By
the way, there's some bad news for anybody who was
hoping to go to yacht rock. Cella not looking good
for Sunset Fest Cabo. It was marketed itself for, or
marketed itself rather as the woodstock of yacht rock. You know,
I love a little yacht rock. Give me any Ambrosia,
(29:11):
Give me a Christopher Cross, give me a Kenny Loggins,
Alan Parsons. They are all scheduled to play this show
that was going to be coming up relatively soon down
of course in Cabo, but they have now announced another
(29:31):
artists have dropped out. Another artist has dropped out rather
Ambrosia front man Joe Plerta said I'm out. He was
supposed to play the first night. You know, Ambrosia they
do that how long song, among many others. Rick Springfield
has not announced that he is he has left, but
here is who is who has already dropped out. Pablo Cruz,
(29:54):
Alan Parsons, Christopher Cross, Al Stewart, Kenny Loggins still on
the docket. You got Rick Springfield for Friday. Nobody's playing Saturday,
and maybe Dire Strait's Legacy is playing on Sunday. We'll
have to ask Mark Knopfler. The organizers themselves have not
said anything about why, but the members of Van Brosia
(30:17):
were very quick to say, we're dropping out and it
has nothing to do with the health of our of
our performers or of our band members. They basically said
it was something like, after learning details about things that
were going on, I'm getting very firefest vibes about this.
If you're familiar, and I gotta be real with you,
you know yacht rock definitely more of a boomer audience.
(30:41):
Boomers I know them, I love them. They cannot do
cheese sandwiches and FEMA tents. That It's not a point
in your life where you're gonna go down, take a
plane to Cabo, go to some kind of resort, sit
around outside for the bands not to play and to
just eat a cheese sandwich and fea and a sleeping
at FEMA ten. It's not gonna happen. By the way,
(31:04):
Christopher Cross, I don't know if you've ever seen him before.
I love this man. He does not look like you
would expect you hear that voice, and you think he
probably looks like Fabio and he's a little bit well,
he's not a Fabio guy. His songs are so good
and that voice is perfect, and if you've seen that
yacht rock documentary, he looks sort of like a wallflower.
(31:25):
But this guy apparently to finance that first record, which
of course won all the Grammys, that had sailing on
it head Ride like the Wind, he sold weed and
LSD to help finance that. Christopher Cross, that guy.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
They gotta admire an entrepreneur. I know somebody's got that
kind of drive.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
More power to him that's looking and obviously it worked
out for him. I don't know if he's still I
don't know. If I don't know, I think those days
are probably way far behind him at this point. Who's
to say, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Did you say how long was Ambrosia? Are you sure
you got that right? I think that's Paul Carrick and Ace?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Oh did Dan Brosia also do? Yeah, you're right, as
did as did?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
How long?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Did Didan Brosia not do a version of it? Too? Also?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I don't know how much I feel, biggest part of me,
you're the only woman.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Those are their big hits. I maybe I think you're right.
It was originally done by ACE in nineteen seventy four,
but I think that they did cover it. I don't.
Maybe I'm wrong. It's possible. I am but a shell
of a human being with very little information. It goes
(32:34):
in one ear and out the other. We strive for
accuracy that Thank you for holding me accountable though I'm
sorry about that now, my God, don't be sorry about it.
I'm happy to be corrected. We're about We're about keeping
you company but also keeping it honest. There we go, OK.
I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (32:55):
App kf I AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm Andy Reesmeyer in FROMO this evening. So much news today, Ronner,
is your head spinning always is, But like what it's
like the old days with the breaking.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
News, I don't know. I think we're in kind of
unprecedented territory here. I guess that's true. I just I
feel like what we had this We had this pursuit.
A couple hours ago.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
They had an arrest in not there were two stories
of bodies found in Tesla's and KTLA sent a push
alert saying it had something to do with celestreevas. That
was not correct. If anybody got that push alert, that
was wrong. They did, however, arrest somebody in conjunction with
(00:49):
the body that was found in the Tesla on the
same day as Celestia was found in a Tesla. Pah,
I think we had one Tesla body and one Honda body.
Oh Honda, is that right? Okay? There weren't both Tesla'sorry
about that. Apologize. That's like a big embarrassment for a
car guy too, because at Tesla a Honda they are
not the same. Uh and uh. Then we had this
(01:12):
said police situation happening in bel air. Saw the helicopter
over there earlier looking for a murder suspect. I asked
the KTLA desk too, like, what is going on here?
Do we have any indication? And Elizabeth over at the
desk said, I wish we had any idea, But they're
searching for a murder suspect, that's all they're saying. We'll
bring you any updates as soon as we get them,
(01:35):
but we're gonna do some more nice stuff, some fun stuff.
After a two plus year wait, what feels like even
more than that? Down in San Pedro, the San Pedro
Fish Market is back open baby on the waterfront.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Magical ocean views and its well known menu, including its
world famous shrimp tray, has placed this megendary rest is
reclaiming it's place on the waterfront here. Owner Henry Ungaro
says this is a true return to form for the restaurant,
which has been a staple on the San Pedro waterfront
for nearly seven decades.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
We're part of the West Harbor Project. We're going to
be an anchor in the project. So this is the
first step to us getting back to who what we
call who we are as the San Pigo Fish Market.
It's back to fifteen hundred seats on the waterfront. You
can get all our delicious food, phenomenal bar menu. We've
actually added some new items to the menu that weren't
here before.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I can't wait to hear all about that. Joining us
right now is Henry On, Garo's brother Mike, and Garo
the Fishman himself joining us live via satellite phone from
San Pedro. It feels like that's so far away from Burbank.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
It kind of is.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You offered. I think I don't know if you offered,
but I think I said, hey, Bud, please come on
the show, but call. I'm not going to make you
drive all the way up to Burbank. Congratulates on the opening.
Your brother did a really good job today. I was
I was expecting to see you, but I'm happy to
hear from you right now. I know we had talked
about this. The reaction, at least that I could see
from the TV today. I haven't been able to make
(03:12):
it down there, but I'll try maybe this weekend, maybe next.
Has just been very very positive. How you feeling.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Yeah, people are super excited. We're really happy. It's been
a long, long long process. You know, it's hard opening
a restaurant or business is one thing. Trying to open
one that's not permanent. Right, we're going to be there
three to five years while we rebuild the original location.
But there's no box to check for that. You know,
you go to go through all these agencies and you
(03:39):
know they've got all the red tape they've got to
get through just to try to help you out. And
they've been super helpful. Between Janie Haunt's office and Tim
mccosker's office, our supervisor and counselman, and health, Department of
Building and Safety, everyone's looking at this the temporary Were
you thinking thirty ninety sixty days? What like, No, we
need like three to five years?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like what whoa, Yeah, they probably don't do a lot
of that three to five years. Most restaurants that are
open for three to five years. Yeah, most restaurants that
are open for three to five years are not intended
to be that.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
No, And then then you're like, well, what do you need,
Like you know, like a couple hundred seats, I go,
now we need thirty three around twenty three thousand square feet. Man,
the fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred seats. We got this
whole kitchen built out of refurbished containers, not even refurbished,
so just shipping containers that we welded together. And then
this giant kitchen complex got sixty feet of griddles and
(04:26):
friars and ovens, and then you got to you know,
walk in freezers and walking refugerators and all of it.
It's sitting on top of the ground right It's it's
it's like permanent, but it's not permanent. Wow, but is
looking at it, it's like we've never heard of this before.
How does this work? And like I don't know?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, yeah, and you just guys, you figure it out.
I mean you and all of you are so you're
it's a family owned business. You are so industrious and
you just make it work. You a multiple locations in
the South Bay area and Long Beach, San Pedro and
the Harbor, and then also U there's another one.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Right right now. Yeah, well right now we've actually kind
of shunk it all down, so we're just focusing on
these bigger waterfront locations. So we've got Long Beach, we've
got Pedro. We're about to break ground on what we're
doing up in Monterey and or California on the Fisherman's work,
and then we're in talks with the Sydney Anaheim because
there's a whole bunch of stuff going on there that
we're interested in, and we have a lot of customers
(05:19):
over there too, so we're We've got a lot of
a lot of plans, but it's just getting through the
hurdles right and getting it open and financing it and
building it and figuring out how to make it work.
So this one, I think is super crazy. I got
and if you kind of look at this thing, you're like,
how did you make this work?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, And how far away is it from the original location?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
It's like a stone sparrow. I mean, it's all in
the same area of where where where. If you're familiar
with what portscal Village was in the back of the passes,
this is where l passel Cantina used to be and
then later was Alkapulco. So all that got torn down
and they're like, look, we got this thirty three thousand
square foot pad. We don't have any plans for us
at least the next three to five years. If you
want to set up shop there while you rebuild your
(06:04):
original location. That's great. We could do that. So we
basically get the temporary least to exist there, and then
I signed a forty nine year lease to rebuild on
the original location basically where we were before. So we're
working all that, all the logistics out on that, and
we'll probably break ground on that in a few months.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is it hard to be? I mean, I know that
a lot of restaurants in Los Angeles are closing, but
you're going full steam ahead.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Well yeah, you know, it's crazy. We're really lucky because
we have the super loyal customer bas o. Next year
is going to be our seventieth anniversaries. Wow. The original
original location called are You.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Almost as old as from a Reward? Almost as old
as Disneyland? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah? I think there are fifty five and we're fifty six.
That's amily owned kind of thing. It's we have a
lot of similarities to them. You know. It's interesting, was
we pulled our customers, the ones that travel from out
of town to visit us. It turns out the two
places that seventy percent of our customers where they're visiting
from out of town is awesome divisiey Land on the
same weekend. How crazy that is?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Wild? Well, I think it's it's worth it. You're worth
the hype, worth the wait. The line sometimes can be
kind of crazy. You always tell people coming like Monday
at eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, I mean that's okay. So so here's the deal.
If you're like, hey, we love Pedro, but I can't
wait in that line, you can go open table and
book a location and look to see in our Long
Beach location.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Go.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Very good. Well, congratulations to you for forty nine years
and forty nine more and another forty nine after that
for the San Pedro Fish Market, the world famous shrimp
tray man. I I dream about it. It's a mountain
of food. It's a mountain of seafood mountain. It's a
fun A Mariscos massacre, I believe is what we.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Said, Uh, massacre in a seventy two ounce period. You
can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'm good for the whole week. There you go. Michael
Angaro from San Pedro Fish Market, thank you for joining us.
Congratulations on the opening. You can find them, of course
in Pedro. Soon to be up in Long Bee or
Monterey rather and of course on open table if you
do want to skip those lines and you want to
have a sit down experience not on the water, but
not far from it over in Long.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Beach, lot on the water too. So one you can
watch the sun. One you can watch the sunset. Com
We'll get all the information.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
The more clear than what I have outlined here. Mike,
always good to talk to you. Congratulations and we'll talk
to you soon. There he goes San Pedro Fish Market,
ron or have you been No?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, I want that fish mound that you just described,
didn't I didn't? I sell it real well. The beer
really sold it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The beer is incredible and I don't know what they do,
and you can buy it to these spices that they
put on their seafood.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I was writing it down when you started speaking to me.
It's San Pedro Fish Market, San Pedro Fish Market. I
need that a year younger than Disneyland. It's that it's
that storied in the South.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Bay, so it has to be good. Then, I'm telling you.
I think about that shrimp tray all the time. And
you can get some of their their spices and seasonings
at their website, and so you can try to do
it yourself at home. It won't come close. So this
isn't some closely guarded secret like the kernel. I don't
know if they If they do it a little different
for the people who are buying it, you know, off
(09:22):
the shelf. Maybe they put a little something something. Oh
is Mike still there?
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I'm still here. You can also go to Goldbelly dot
com and order our shrimp trays and ship them anywhere
in the country. Hey like, do it yourself version and
it's broady in ten minutes on your stall top.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Now we got to come down there and take it
for a test drive in person. Yeah, And and the
seventy teen ound per you can bathe in it. You know,
it's a point where you could just dunk your whole
head in there.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
If you really need the visuals, you go to Amazon
Prime and search Kings of Fish, and you can watch
our TV show where we talk about the whole history
of the business, how we make the trains and everything.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Listen. I don't know what's going to happen with linear TV.
I don't know what's going to happen with with terrestrial radio.
But I'll tell you what Mike Angaro's media empire will
be here at the end of time, our hope. So, Mike,
thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
An avalanche of information will be entering the pop culture
sphere here in around forty minutes or so. Because Taylor
Swift's new record is coming out. We may just listen
to a single and just see what the vibe is,
just to see. I'm not like a big Taylor Swift person.
I'd like to just know why everyone's going to be
screaming tonight. I think it's like something we have to do.
(10:38):
But to talk about Lionel Richie for just a second.
This is a crazy story that I feel like this
wouldn't have happened before the Internet because we just would
have never known about it. But Lionel Richie fans are upset.
(10:58):
Page six says they were revolting on Monday night because
they showed up at a Times Square concert venue that's
in New York City expecting to see Lionel Richie give
an intimate performance. Some fans paid as much as six
hundred dollars a pop for stubs on ticket resale sites
(11:18):
like Ticketmaster and stub Hub. It was built Truly, an
evening of Lionel Ritchie and friends. Page six says one
person said they paid twelve hundred dollars for the evening
and had special T shirts made, but when Lionel Richie
came out he took the stage, they realized that it
(11:40):
was not a concert that they had signed up for,
but instead a book talk, an hour long book talk
about his new memoir called Truly. He was there being
interviewed by ABC's Robin Roberts, and there was no day dancing,
(12:01):
singing hardly for the whole night long, and certainly no
dancing on the ceiling of that night or anywhere else
for that matter. People were mad, people started walking out.
Somebody yelled shut up and sing. Another person was removed
after screaming I want my money back. According to this
(12:23):
page six article, somebody says at one point he told
a story about being robbed, and someone called back, so
were we. It was a Q and A after the talk,
and some people ask for refunds, but Lionel Richie's camp
(12:45):
was pointing the fingers at fans, saying it was always
advertised as a moderated Q and A no musical performance,
And it seems some customers did not read the language.
Average cost, according to line Richie his team was only
seventy seven dollars and that included a copy of the book.
But the six hundred or twelve hundred dollars numbers those
(13:06):
were just because of the secondary markups. It is confusing, though,
because he's doing a residency. I think he was doing
a I mean, he's young enough that he can perform,
so I understand why you might think an evening with
Lionel Richie might mean he was going to sing. But
also if you read it and you saw that Robin
Roberts was going to be there, what were you thinking
was going to happen? I would love to know. But
(13:28):
at the same time, I think, you know what, this
guy maybe a little bit of a trickster. You know,
if you look at that dancing on the ceiling video,
he is dancing on the ceiling. Indeed, Lionel Richie might
be a witch dubiously creepy behaviors in the Hello video Roner,
(13:51):
do you remember that video?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I believe so.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Maybe people thought Robin Roberts was going to be singing backup,
h I mean that would be pretty cool. I bet
she's got a good voice.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
A lot of the a lot of those, you know,
people who are good performers, who are good talkers. They
can sing roner. Can you sing? No, it's creepy. It
sounds like the opening to that Wait a minute, sorry,
are you saying creep singing is creepy? Or just when
you sing you feel like it's creepy? Oh? I sound
like a serial killer when they sing?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
How is that?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I will not be doing it to prove it. You
don't have to. I'm not going to put you on
the spot like that. That's very funny to me. You
would make children cry if they're in the car with
their parents. Is it?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What? What is a serial I can't even what? Can you?
You were going to sort of give me an example
of what it was without singing. Oh, there's that show
with the guy from Lost called uh what is it?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's a supernatural show and there's a creepy version of
Case Rossra that opens the show.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's what you singing sounds. Yeah, it's really it's unacceptable.
Did you at one point want to sing and then
somebody put this into your head like, hey, buddy, you
sound you sound like a serial kid. It's just never
a good idea.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It's like like if if I were sent to a
black site, I could probably make a detainee speak.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
In short order. Oh man, I really want to hear
you say.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I do.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I do, But I'll tell you what. My girlfriend really
doesn't like singing either. And you know I was in
a band, so this is tough for me. I mean
it were Yeah, what kind of band it was, it
doesn't matter. It was, well you brought it up. It
was a piano A piano rock band.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
All right, A piano well, that's almost as good as
a flute rock band.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It's it's a piano rock band. And I used to
play dive bars like across the country. And do you
know how dumb you look when you show up with
a piano at a dive bar or a cassio keyboard
and the sound guy's like, I don't know what, I
don't know what to do with that. It doesn't project tough.
It definitely does not look cool, not that I like
ever there was any question on cool or tough when
(15:43):
when you looked at me.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
But a musician, though, probably made some dough at that. Yeah,
some free drinks A shift drink, one shift drink. I
think we paid to play most places, you.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Know, that's kind of the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Was it like out of the Blues Brothers where there's
chain leak fence and and and people throw beer bottles out.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, it's exactly what. It was, like a lot of tomatoes.
But it was crazy because we were playing in the Midwest,
and you know, that's where I grew up, and there
was all this sort of emphasis on country music and
we were these like little goobery kids with sweater vests
on who were playing piano rock, and it just I mean,
it was like we couldn't get out of town quick enough.
And then we came to La because we thought we're
(16:21):
going to make it, and then obviously found out that
well I work in radio and television now, so that
should tell you enough.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Oh and by the way, that show, I was trying
to think of the name of it's called from and
the version of the Doris Day song at the beginning
of it, it'll make you suicidal.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Maybe we'll listen to it on the next segment here.
If you want to bring everybody down, I would. I
just want to. I just want to visualize with Ronner
and that sound and that voice because I don't. I
kind of don't believe. I think you got a good voice.
But let's hear that good voice. Do some news. How
about that. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It ain't Doris Day. It's a very descriptive example that
I can absolutely understand. Now, like that was you. You
nailed it. You didn't even have to sing, and I
understand exactly what you mean.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
It's a reason I'm a childless, middle aged bachelor.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh hey, but at least, at least we have this moment, right,
at least we're here together in this evening, if you
say so, with the wonderful citizens of Los Angeles and
Tony Tony, how you doing, Bud? Tony's like I got
to put on my headphones and he doesn't expect Yeah, yeah, dude,
good Tony Tony Orange County's own I guess. Yeah. Yeah.
(17:34):
He's got an arcade in his garage. It's just a
bunch of little emulators here. It's a bunch of little emulators.
This man has a Dave and Busters in the back house.
It looks nicer than it actually is. Well that may be.
I don't know if i'll if I'll, if I'll go
and see it in person, So at least I'm going
with that for now. It is if I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy
(17:57):
Reesemyer in for Mo Kelly on this Evening with mister Tony,
mister Mark Nikki, also on the Ones and twos. Good
A good a mate. Love when you do that. I'm
so sorry. It's so hard for me not to do
accents back to people. It is one of my fatal flaws.
I don't know why. I worked with this guy who
was British, and by the time that we both quit,
(18:21):
it was I couldn't even go into meetings with him
because I could not stop imitating it back to him.
And I didn't even realize I was doing it.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I do.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I love it when I say good ay to Americans
and they say it back because they always giggle and
I think it's adorable. Yeah, we like to share stuff. Yeah,
it's cultural. It's a cultural exchange.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We are obsessed with accents, so it's it's fun. We
have a lot of fun accents here ourselves. I can
do a valley girl accent for you. Let's hear it.
Oh my god, becare Yeah, that's pretty good. I mean,
you know, I don't know what valley, the San Gabriel Valley. Okay,
(18:59):
where's that? Shout out to Covina. You know, dating apps
hard turn Dating apps are a fine hell. I think
you have this choice or this illusion of choice, and
you get all kinds of strangers that may or may
not be who they pretend to be. Pardon me while
(19:19):
I doctor Wendy Waalsh here for a second, But you
get all kinds of crazy things. If you've ever done
I was on the dating apps during the teens a bit,
not my teens, like the twenty teens, and you would
get all kinds of crazy stuff, words, photos, you name it.
Mostly women were getting crazy stuff. Not from me because
(19:41):
I'm respectful, But a dating app is now trying to
stop users from getting unsolicited sexual messages. This is a
real problem for women. Apparently thirty percent of women have
received explicit texts or images from people who are not
their partners. The app is in question is called highly
(20:02):
or Hilly. It apparently has forty million users. I talk
to some people today when I did the story on
KTLA full disclosure that they did not know what it was.
I've not heard of it, but they have something called
Consent Guard, and essentially what they're trying to do is
cut down on cyberflashing. That's what they're calling cyber flashing,
or the nudes that you don't ask for. Apparently, this
(20:22):
app uses an algorithm to scan the images that people
are sending and the words. So, for instance, if you
were to send an explicit message or a photo, it
would send the person you sent the message to a
notification that asks that person to either decline or consent,
and if the prompt goes unanswered, they say, the conversation
(20:44):
goes on like nothing ever happened, at least from the
app's perspective. How do you recover from that? I'm not sure.
Both of you clearly are on separate pages. You think
things are a little bit different. As of last year,
as I said, a third of women have received unsolicited
explicit photos for someone who was not a partner. I
(21:06):
wish that they would do this for other apps. I
wish on your messages it would say something like, your
partner is about to ask you a question with no
correct answer. Do you wish to proceed? The boys want
to hang out Sunday. But before you say yes, remember
it's your brother's kids birthday party that you said you'd
(21:28):
go to. That would be helpful dating app asking you
whether or not you want to see nudes. It's terrible
that the dating apps are so unromantic that you have
to introduce this kind of thing into this for it
to work. Hey, speaking of valley girls, these eighties names
(21:53):
that I think were very common for the valley girl, Jessica, Courtney, Heather,
they have fallen way out of favor. And what's kind
of interesting is that men's names are relatively the same.
So names like Michael or Christopher or Matthew those were
the top three most popular boy's names of the nineteen eighties.
(22:14):
Those are still fairly popular in twenty twenty eight five.
But the Social Securities Administration tracks popularity of names. I
guess that's what they're doing with your money. Not going
to have Social Security by the time I retire, But
thank god they're tracking the popularity of boys and girls' names.
(22:38):
Those names basically dropped, like Jessica, Jennifer, Amanda Ashley from
the top ten all the way to the four, five,
six hundreds. I don't know if this is true. My
speculation here is that most of the time, and I'm
going to generalize, so if you have an issue with
this statement, tweet at Kirk Hawkins for your complaints. But
(23:02):
I think that most of the time the men don't
have the final say in what the kid's name is
going to be, just in the way that in most
traditional relationships, men don't have the final say on anything.
And I'm assuming that if women are naming their kids,
they probably grew up with a lot of Heathers and
Ashley's and Courtney's and Jessica's, and maybe they didn't like
(23:26):
them very much and they're like, I'm not going to
name my kid. That mean girls or maybe their boyfriends
or husbands or father baby daddy in the scenario dated
people with those names. Your kid's never going to be
named one of your exes. If you're a man, your
kid will and she knows about him. Your kid will
(23:49):
never be named one of your exes. It's a rule, Ronnie,
Am I right? You got to be careful about that.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I one reason I am childless is because, as a
from uncle Fan, I said, if we ever have kids,
I'm gonna name my son Napoleon. Hey, hence we do
not have you, and that was the reason. Well, that's
one of men, I say. Well, or like I was
a James Bond fan too, and I thought, well, have
a blind a girl call him kiss kissing.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Bang bang. I'm surprised she didn't go for that. It's
just never gonna happen. I will dial one. That's all right.
Like I said, we all have each other.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Here.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand for Ronner.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
It's not don't look at me, it's don't listen to
me when I sing. Sorry, what was that again? I said,
it's not. And you know it doesn't matter. I was
talking about your singing. Oh, and I just really want
to hear. I want to build you up, my friend.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
There's there's absolutely no way on earth you're going to
manipulate me into singing. And the people's airwaves, the public's airwaves.
What have they done to us?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
This is this is a public service. You're right, this
is for the public good. We have an obligation to
the people of this good here, this here, good city,
this good here city, this city, this good town. I
don't know, man, it's easy for you to say, yeah,
it is a struggle. There's a lot of news today.
We are living in unprecedented times, et cetera, et cetera.
But we'll be with you all the way at least
(25:12):
until ten pm, and then mister George Noria will pop
on in and take over. But lots to still talk
about on this show. Man, it's a packed show. I
was a little nervous. I wasn't gonna be able to
talk for three hours. I guess I know. I'm confident
I could talk for three hours. If it's interesting, that's
another story. If you would like to be a part
of the show, you can find us on the iHeartRadio app.
(25:33):
Look for KFI, look for that little microphone button. You
can leave a message thirty seconds of your thoughts will
play them on the show. Anything from dating app stories
those are always fun, or just regular dating stories. Are
you anticipating this Taylor Swift release in the next eight
minutes to be life changing? I can't imagine I will
(25:58):
feel any different, but hey, you never know. The rapture
didn't happen last week. Maybe it will. Maybe it will.
At nine, let's go up to Maryland, where some firefighters
are behaving badly. This is very rare. Firefighters are generally
considered to be one of the most respected people in society.
(26:20):
They rank like number one on the lists of people
who just generally speaking, are well respected and for good reason.
They are our first responder. They do a great job.
They run it literally into the burning building. They keep
us safe. But these guys, uh, this is a bummer.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Thousands of gallons of water from an engine at the
station was deliberately sprayed onto the field.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Whoops.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Remember how I was like there great and then I
this is what happened.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
A few minutes after a player with a silver spring
Tacoma Thunderbolts crushed a ball over the fence and on
to the property of the adjacent fire station during batting
practice last July seventeenth. Thousands of gallons of water from
an engine at the station was deliberately sprayed onto the field.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That's what we were looking at.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
This is Montgomery County Fire Captain Christopher Riley told two
players who went to the station to complain, quote, I
wanted to get your attention. The document also states Captain
Riley told officers with the Maryland National Capitol Park Police
he did it out of frustration due to repeated incidents
involving baseball, striking, personal vehicles and equipment. News Force also
(27:37):
learned a second firefighter has been charged in connection with
the field sprang. According to the charging document, Firefighter Alan
Barnes backed the engine out of the station on the
University Boulevard before removing the hose from the engine, while
a video shows Captain Riley standing on top of the engine.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I gotta say, and I appreciate my respect the art
of journalism, but this guy, for he is so unfazed.
This reporter is so chill about this situation of all
these guys getting sprayed and the firefighters get in charged
with misdemeanors.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
Way got my friend, I come from Virginia. You know,
the team we were playing is from Virginia, So a
lot of families drove an hour and a half in
traffic to hopefully play after all this rain, and you
know didn't get a chance to play. So yeah, absolutely,
it just you know makes things difficult for us, but
you know, crazy experience.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
The chargery document also reveals paying fans had already started
arriving for the game between two teams competing in the
cal Ripken League.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Can't play baseball when in the field is flooded. All right, Well,
we'll keep you posted on how all that goes. By
the way, there's some bad news for anybody who was
hoping to go to yacht rock. Cella not looking good
for Sunset Fest Cabo. It was marketed itself for, or
marketed itself rather as the woodstock of yacht rock. You know,
I love a little yacht rock. Give me any Ambrosia,
(29:11):
Give me a Christopher Cross, give me a Kenny Loggins,
Alan Parsons. They are all scheduled to play this show
that was going to be coming up relatively soon down
of course in Cabo, but they have now announced another
(29:31):
artists have dropped out. Another artist has dropped out rather
Ambrosia front man Joe Plerta said I'm out. He was
supposed to play the first night. You know, Ambrosia they
do that how long song, among many others. Rick Springfield
has not announced that he is he has left, but
here is who is who has already dropped out. Pablo Cruz,
(29:54):
Alan Parsons, Christopher Cross, Al Stewart, Kenny Loggins still on
the docket. You got Rick Springfield for Friday. Nobody's playing Saturday,
and maybe Dire Strait's Legacy is playing on Sunday. We'll
have to ask Mark Knopfler. The organizers themselves have not
said anything about why, but the members of Van Brosia
(30:17):
were very quick to say, we're dropping out and it
has nothing to do with the health of our of
our performers or of our band members. They basically said
it was something like, after learning details about things that
were going on, I'm getting very firefest vibes about this.
If you're familiar, and I gotta be real with you,
you know yacht rock definitely more of a boomer audience.
(30:41):
Boomers I know them, I love them. They cannot do
cheese sandwiches and FEMA tents. That It's not a point
in your life where you're gonna go down, take a
plane to Cabo, go to some kind of resort, sit
around outside for the bands not to play and to
just eat a cheese sandwich and fea and a sleeping
at FEMA ten. It's not gonna happen. By the way,
(31:04):
Christopher Cross, I don't know if you've ever seen him before.
I love this man. He does not look like you
would expect you hear that voice, and you think he
probably looks like Fabio and he's a little bit well,
he's not a Fabio guy. His songs are so good
and that voice is perfect, and if you've seen that
yacht rock documentary, he looks sort of like a wallflower.
(31:25):
But this guy apparently to finance that first record, which
of course won all the Grammys, that had sailing on
it head Ride like the Wind, he sold weed and
LSD to help finance that. Christopher Cross, that guy.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
They gotta admire an entrepreneur. I know somebody's got that
kind of drive.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
More power to him that's looking and obviously it worked
out for him. I don't know if he's still I
don't know. If I don't know, I think those days
are probably way far behind him at this point. Who's
to say, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Did you say how long was Ambrosia? Are you sure
you got that right? I think that's Paul Carrick and Ace?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Oh did Dan Brosia also do? Yeah, you're right, as
did as did?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
How long?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Did Didan Brosia not do a version of it? Too? Also?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I don't know how much I feel, biggest part of me,
you're the only woman.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Those are their big hits. I maybe I think you're right.
It was originally done by ACE in nineteen seventy four,
but I think that they did cover it. I don't.
Maybe I'm wrong. It's possible. I am but a shell
of a human being with very little information. It goes

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
