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 INFROMO this evening.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
So much news today, Ronner, is your head spinning always?
Is well, like what it's like the old days with
the breaking news.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
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,
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 Celesti Reevas.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That was not correct. If anybody got that push alert,
that was wrong. They did, however, arrest somebody in conjunction
with the body that was found in the Tesla on
the same day as Celestia was found in a Tesla.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Pah, I think we had one Tesla body and one
Honda body. Oh Honda, is that right? Okay?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Uh and uh.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Then we had this 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.
That we'll bring you any updates as soon as we
(01:33):
get them, 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 Sand Pedro,
the San Pedro Fish Market is back open baby on
the waterfront.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Magical ocean views and its well known menu, including its
world famous shrimp trays placed this mesgendary rest on 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 6 (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.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
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 7 (02:48):
It kind of is.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You offered.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
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 it down there,
(03:12):
but I'll try maybe this weekend, maybe next has just
been very very positive.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
How you feeling.
Speaker 7 (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 to go through all these agencies and you know
(03:39):
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 Hand's office and Tim mccosker's office,
our supervisor and councilman, and health, Department of Building and Safety,
everyone's looking at us to temporarily Were you thinking thirty
ninety sixty days? What like, No, we need like three
to five years? Like what whoa?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
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.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
To be that.
Speaker 7 (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 aud twenty three thousand square feet. Yeah,
the fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred seats. We got this
whole kitchen built out of refurbished containers, not even refurbished,
they're 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 go
walk in freezers and walk in 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 s like we've never heard of this before.
How does this work? I like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (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 got multiple locations in
the South Bay area and Long Beach, San Pedro, and
the Harbor, and then also.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
There's another one.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Right right now. Yeah, well right now, we've actually kind
of shrunk it all down, so we're just focusing on
these bigger waterfront locations. So we got Long Beach, We've
got Pedro. We're about to break ground on what we're
doing up in Monterey in northern California on the war
Fisherman's work, and then we're in talks with the Sydney
of Anaheim because there's a whole bunch of stuff going
on there that we're interested in, and we have a
lot of customers over there too, So we've got a
(05:21):
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 come and look at this thing,
you're like, how did you make this work? Yeah? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, And how far away is it from the original
location tink.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
A Stone Sparrow. Yeah, I mean it's all in the
same area of where where where. If they're familiar with
what Portucal 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 its
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 bassically 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?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I mean, I know that a lot of restaurants in
Los Angeles for closing, but you're going full steam ahead.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Well yeah, you know that's crazy. We're really lucky because
we have the super loyal customer vas O. Next year
is going to be our seventieth anniversaries. Wow, the original
original location called this are you?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Almost as old as from a reward? Almost as old
as Disneyland? Is that right?
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Yeah? I think they're fifty five and we're fifty six.
It's a family owned kind of things. We have a
lot of similarities to them. You know. It's interesting as
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 when they're visiting
from out of town is awesome vision land on the
same weekend. How crazy that is?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Wild?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
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 come at like Monday at eight
o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 7 (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 it in our
Long Beach location. There you go.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Go, very good.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, congratulations to you to 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 dream about it. It's a mountain of food. It's
a mountain of seafood mountains. It's a fun A Mariscos massacre,
I believe is what we.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Said, Uh, massacre in a seventy two ounces period. You
can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'm good for the whole week.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
There you go, Mike 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 7 (08:14):
Beach, Long Beach on the water too. So one you
can watch, the one you can watch the sunset. We'll
get all the information.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
The more clear than what I have outlined here. Mike.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Always good to talk to you. Congratulations and I'll talk
to you soon. There he goes San Pedro Fish Market,
ron or have you been No? 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. 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 4 (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 3 (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 the shelf.
(09:23):
Maybe they put a little something something. Oh, is Mike
still there?
Speaker 7 (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 reready in ten minutes on your self top.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Now we got to come down there and take it
for a test drive in person.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, and you and the seventy ten ound period. You
can bathe in it. You know, it's a point where
you could just dunk your whole.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Head in there.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
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.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So, Mike, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (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.
(10:37):
But to talk about Lionel Richie for just a second,
this is a crazy story that I feel like.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This wouldn't have.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Happened before the Internet because we just would have never
known about it. But Lionel Richie fans are upset. 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
(11:09):
intimate performance. Some fans paid as much as six hundred
dollars a pop for stubs on ticket resale sites like
Ticketmaster and stub Hub. It was built truly an evening
of Lionel Richie and Friends. Page six says one person
said they paid twelve hundred dollars for the evening and
(11:31):
had special T shirts made, but when Lionel Richie came
out he took the stage, they realized that it 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
(11:55):
by ABC's Robin Roberts, and there was no day sing,
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.
(12:15):
Somebody yelled shut up and sing. Another person was removed
after screaming I want my money back. According to this
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,
(12:39):
and some people ask for refunds, but Lionel Ritchie's camp
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
(13:00):
seventy seven dollars and that included a copy of the book.
But the six hundred or twelve hundred dollars numbers those
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
(13:22):
Roberts was going to be there, what were you thinking
was going to happen? I would love to know. But
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.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Ronn do you remember that video? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I believe so. Maybe people thought Robin Roberts was going
to be singing backup, I mean that would be pretty cool.
I bet she's got a good voice. A lot of
the lot of those.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You know, people who are good performers, who are good talkers.
They can sing Ronert.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Can you sing? No, it's creepy. It sounds like the
opening to that Wait a.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
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 2 (14:17):
How is that? I will not be doing it to
prove it. You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I'm not going to put you on the spot like that.
That's very funny to me. You did would make children
cry if they're in the car with their parents.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
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.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Oh, there's that show with the guy from Lost called
uh what is it? It's a supernatural show and there's a
creepy version of Case Rosa that opens the show.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's what you singing sounds. Yeah, it's really it's unacceptable.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Did you at one point when to sing and then
somebody put this into your head like, hey, buddy, you
sound you sound like a serial ki.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's just never a good idea.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It's like like if if I were sent to a
black site, I could probably make a detainee speak in
short order.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh man, I really want to hear you say. I do.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I do, But I'll tell you what. My girlfriend really
doesn't like singing to either. And you know, I was
in a band, so this is tough for me. I
mean it were Yeah, what kind of band that was,
It doesn't matter. It was all you brought it up.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It was a piano, A piano rock band, all right,
A piano, well, that's almost as good as a flute
rock band. It's it's a band.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
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.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
To do with that. It doesn't project tough.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It definitely does not look cool, not that I like
ever there was any question on cool or tough when
when you looked at me.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
But a musician, though, probably made some dough at that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Some free drinks, A shift drink, one shift drink. I
think we paid to play most places. You know, that's
kind of the was it like out of the Blues Brothers,
where there's chain league fence fen and and people throw
beer bottles out it.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, it's exactly what. It was, like a lot of tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
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
going to make it, and then obviously found out that
well I work in radio and television now, so that
(16:25):
should tell you enough.
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I just want to visualize with Ronner and that sound
and that voice, because I don't I kind of don't
believe you.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It's a very descriptive example that I can absolutely understand now,
Like that was you.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You nailed it. You didn't even have to sing, And
I understand exactly.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
What you mean.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
It's a reason I'm a childless, middle aged bachelor.
Speaker 3 (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, dude,
good Tony Tony, Orange County's own.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I guess, yeah. Yeah, he's got an arcade in his garage.
It's just a bunch of little emulators here.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
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.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Well that may be.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
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
Reesemyer in form Mo Kelly on this evening with mister Tony,
mister Mark Nikki, also on the Ones and twos.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good a good a mate. Love when you do that.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
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, it was I couldn't even go into meetings
with him because I could not stop imitating it back
to him.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And I didn't even realize I was doing it.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
I do.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
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.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, we like to share. Yeah, it's cultural. It's a
cultural exchange. You know.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We are obsessed with accents, so it's it's fun. We
have a lot of fun accents here ourselves.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I can do a valley girl accent for you. Let's
hear it. Oh my god becare. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I mean, you know, I don't know what valley, the
San Gabriel Valley. Okay, 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
(19:15):
that may or may not be who they pretend to be.
Pardon me while I doctor Wendy Walsh 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,
(19:37):
you name it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Mostly women were getting crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Not from me, because I'm respectful, But a dating app
is now trying to stop users from getting unsolicited sexual messages.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
This is a real problem for women.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
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 or Hilly. It apparently
has forty million users. I talked to some people today
when I did the story on KTLA full disclosure that
they did not know what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I've not heard of.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
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 cyberflashing, or the nudes that you
don't ask for. Apparently, this 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
(20:33):
the message to a notification that asks that person to
either decline or consent, and if the prompt goes unanswered,
they say, the conversation 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
(20:55):
on separate pages. Do 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.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I wish that they would do this for other apps.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
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 go to. That would be helpful dating app asking
(21:34):
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 that I think were very common for the valley girl, Jessica, Courtney, Heather,
(22:00):
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.
Those are still fairly popular.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
In twenty twenty eight five.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
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.
Those names basically dropped, like Jessica, Jennifer, Amanda, Ashley, from
(22:43):
the top ten all the way to the four, five,
six hundreds.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I don't know if this is true.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
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 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.
(23:14):
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
them very much and they're like, I'm not going to
name my kid that mean girls or maybe their boyfriends
(23:34):
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
never be named one of your exes. It's a rule, Ronnie,
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You gotta be careful about that.
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Hey, hence we do not have to do it. And
that was the reason. Well, that's one of men, I say.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, or like I was a James Bond fan too,
and I thought, we've 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 on. That's all right,
Like I said, we all have each other 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?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
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 4 (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.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Have they done to us?
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I don't know, man, it's easy for you to say.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
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
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
(25:26):
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.
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
(25:50):
you anticipating this Taylor Swift release in the next eight
minutes to be life changing? I can't imagine I will
feel any different, but hey, you never know.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
The rapture didn't happen last week. Maybe it will. Maybe
it will.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
At nine, let's go up to Maryland, where some firefighters
are behaving badly.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
This is very rare.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Firefighters are generally considered to be one of the most
respected people in society. 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 literally into the
burning building. They keep us safe. But these guys, uh,
(26:41):
this is a bummer.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Thousands of gallons of water from an engine at the
station was deliberately sprayed onto the field.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Whoops. Remember how I was like there great, and then
I this is what happened.
Speaker 8 (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 8 (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 University
Boulevard before removing the hose from the engine, while a
video shows Captain Riley standing on top of the engine.
Speaker 3 (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 9 (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 8 (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 3 (28:49):
Can't play baseball when 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.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
You know, I love a little yacht rock.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Give me any Ambrosia, 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 artists have dropped out. Another artist
(29:33):
has dropped out rather Ambrosia front man Joe Puerta 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, Alan Parsons, Christopher Cross, Al Stewart,
(29:57):
Kenny Loggins still on the docket. You got Rick Springfield
for Friday. Nobody's playing Saturday, and maybe dire Straits 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 were very quick to say,
(30:18):
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
(30:39):
of a boomer audience. 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 in FEMA and a
(31:00):
sleeping at FEMA ten. It's not gonna happen. By the way,
Christopher Cross, I don't know if you've ever seen him before.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I love this man. He does not look like you
would expect.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
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.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
But this guy.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
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.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Christopher Cross, that guy.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
They gotta admire an entrepreneur. I know somebody's got that
kind of drive. More power to him.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
That's looking and obviously it worked out for him. I
don't know if he still hold I don't know. If
I don't know, I think those days are probably way
far behind him at this point.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Who's to say, I don't know. Did you say how
long was Ambrosia? Are you sure you got that right?
I think that's Paul Kerrick and Ace?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Oh? Did Dan Brosia also do? Yeah, you're right, asted
as did How long? Did did Ambrosia not do a
version of it?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Too?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Also?
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
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.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I don't. Maybe I'm wrong. It's possible. I am but a.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Shell of a human being with very little information. It
goes 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 to be corrected. We're
about We're about keeping you company, but also keeping it honest.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
There we go. 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 INFROMO this evening.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
So much news today, Ronner, is your head spinning always?
Is well, like what it's like the old days with
the breaking news.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
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,
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 Celesti Reevas.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That was not correct. If anybody got that push alert,
that was wrong. They did, however, arrest somebody in conjunction
with the body that was found in the Tesla on
the same day as Celestia was found in a Tesla.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Pah, I think we had one Tesla body and one
Honda body. Oh Honda, is that right? Okay?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Uh and uh.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Then we had this 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.
That we'll bring you any updates as soon as we
(01:33):
get them, 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 Sand Pedro,
the San Pedro Fish Market is back open baby on
the waterfront.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Magical ocean views and its well known menu, including its
world famous shrimp trays placed this mesgendary rest on 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 6 (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.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
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 7 (02:48):
It kind of is.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You offered.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
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 it down there,
(03:12):
but I'll try maybe this weekend, maybe next has just
been very very positive.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
How you feeling.
Speaker 7 (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 to go through all these agencies and you know
(03:39):
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 Hand's office and Tim mccosker's office,
our supervisor and councilman, and health, Department of Building and Safety,
everyone's looking at us to temporarily Were you thinking thirty
ninety sixty days? What like, No, we need like three
to five years? Like what whoa?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
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.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
To be that.
Speaker 7 (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 aud twenty three thousand square feet. Yeah,
the fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred seats. We got this
whole kitchen built out of refurbished containers, not even refurbished,
they're 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 go
walk in freezers and walk in 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 s like we've never heard of this before.
How does this work? I like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (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 got multiple locations in
the South Bay area and Long Beach, San Pedro, and
the Harbor, and then also.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
There's another one.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Right right now. Yeah, well right now, we've actually kind
of shrunk it all down, so we're just focusing on
these bigger waterfront locations. So we got Long Beach, We've
got Pedro. We're about to break ground on what we're
doing up in Monterey in northern California on the war
Fisherman's work, and then we're in talks with the Sydney
of Anaheim because there's a whole bunch of stuff going
on there that we're interested in, and we have a
lot of customers over there too, So we've got a
(05:21):
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 come and look at this thing,
you're like, how did you make this work? Yeah? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, And how far away is it from the original
location tink.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
A Stone Sparrow. Yeah, I mean it's all in the
same area of where where where. If they're familiar with
what Portucal 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 its
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 bassically 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?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I mean, I know that a lot of restaurants in
Los Angeles for closing, but you're going full steam ahead.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Well yeah, you know that's crazy. We're really lucky because
we have the super loyal customer vas O. Next year
is going to be our seventieth anniversaries. Wow, the original
original location called this are you?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Almost as old as from a reward? Almost as old
as Disneyland? Is that right?
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Yeah? I think they're fifty five and we're fifty six.
It's a family owned kind of things. We have a
lot of similarities to them. You know. It's interesting as
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 when they're visiting
from out of town is awesome vision land on the
same weekend. How crazy that is?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Wild?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
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 come at like Monday at eight
o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 7 (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 it in our
Long Beach location. There you go.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Go, very good.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, congratulations to you to 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 dream about it. It's a mountain of food. It's
a mountain of seafood mountains. It's a fun A Mariscos massacre,
I believe is what we.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Said, Uh, massacre in a seventy two ounces period. You
can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'm good for the whole week.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
There you go, Mike 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 7 (08:14):
Beach, Long Beach on the water too. So one you
can watch, the one you can watch the sunset. We'll
get all the information.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
The more clear than what I have outlined here. Mike.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Always good to talk to you. Congratulations and I'll talk
to you soon. There he goes San Pedro Fish Market,
ron or have you been No? 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. 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 4 (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 3 (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 the shelf.
(09:23):
Maybe they put a little something something. Oh, is Mike
still there?
Speaker 7 (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 reready in ten minutes on your self top.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Now we got to come down there and take it
for a test drive in person.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, and you and the seventy ten ound period. You
can bathe in it. You know, it's a point where
you could just dunk your whole.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Head in there.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
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.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So, Mike, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (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.
(10:37):
But to talk about Lionel Richie for just a second,
this is a crazy story that I feel like.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This wouldn't have.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Happened before the Internet because we just would have never
known about it. But Lionel Richie fans are upset. 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
(11:09):
intimate performance. Some fans paid as much as six hundred
dollars a pop for stubs on ticket resale sites like
Ticketmaster and stub Hub. It was built truly an evening
of Lionel Richie and Friends. Page six says one person
said they paid twelve hundred dollars for the evening and
(11:31):
had special T shirts made, but when Lionel Richie came
out he took the stage, they realized that it 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
(11:55):
by ABC's Robin Roberts, and there was no day sing,
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.
(12:15):
Somebody yelled shut up and sing. Another person was removed
after screaming I want my money back. According to this
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,
(12:39):
and some people ask for refunds, but Lionel Ritchie's camp
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
(13:00):
seventy seven dollars and that included a copy of the book.
But the six hundred or twelve hundred dollars numbers those
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
(13:22):
Roberts was going to be there, what were you thinking
was going to happen? I would love to know. But
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.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Ronn do you remember that video? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I believe so. Maybe people thought Robin Roberts was going
to be singing backup, I mean that would be pretty cool.
I bet she's got a good voice. A lot of
the lot of those.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You know, people who are good performers, who are good talkers.
They can sing Ronert.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Can you sing? No, it's creepy. It sounds like the
opening to that Wait a.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
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 2 (14:17):
How is that? I will not be doing it to
prove it. You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I'm not going to put you on the spot like that.
That's very funny to me. You did would make children
cry if they're in the car with their parents.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
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.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Oh, there's that show with the guy from Lost called
uh what is it? It's a supernatural show and there's a
creepy version of Case Rosa that opens the show.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's what you singing sounds. Yeah, it's really it's unacceptable.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Did you at one point when to sing and then
somebody put this into your head like, hey, buddy, you
sound you sound like a serial ki.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's just never a good idea.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It's like like if if I were sent to a
black site, I could probably make a detainee speak in
short order.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh man, I really want to hear you say. I do.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I do, But I'll tell you what. My girlfriend really
doesn't like singing to either. And you know, I was
in a band, so this is tough for me. I
mean it were Yeah, what kind of band that was,
It doesn't matter. It was all you brought it up.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It was a piano, A piano rock band, all right,
A piano, well, that's almost as good as a flute
rock band. It's it's a band.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
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.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
To do with that. It doesn't project tough.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It definitely does not look cool, not that I like
ever there was any question on cool or tough when
when you looked at me.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
But a musician, though, probably made some dough at that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Some free drinks, A shift drink, one shift drink. I
think we paid to play most places. You know, that's
kind of the was it like out of the Blues Brothers,
where there's chain league fence fen and and people throw
beer bottles out it.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, it's exactly what. It was, like a lot of tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
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
going to make it, and then obviously found out that
well I work in radio and television now, so that
(16:25):
should tell you enough.
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I just want to visualize with Ronner and that sound
and that voice, because I don't I kind of don't
believe you.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It's a very descriptive example that I can absolutely understand now,
Like that was you.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You nailed it. You didn't even have to sing, And
I understand exactly.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
What you mean.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
It's a reason I'm a childless, middle aged bachelor.
Speaker 3 (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, dude,
good Tony Tony, Orange County's own.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I guess, yeah. Yeah, he's got an arcade in his garage.
It's just a bunch of little emulators here.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
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.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Well that may be.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
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
Reesemyer in form Mo Kelly on this evening with mister Tony,
mister Mark Nikki, also on the Ones and twos.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good a good a mate. Love when you do that.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
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, it was I couldn't even go into meetings
with him because I could not stop imitating it back
to him.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And I didn't even realize I was doing it.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
I do.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
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.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, we like to share. Yeah, it's cultural. It's a
cultural exchange. You know.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We are obsessed with accents, so it's it's fun. We
have a lot of fun accents here ourselves.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I can do a valley girl accent for you. Let's
hear it. Oh my god becare. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I mean, you know, I don't know what valley, the
San Gabriel Valley. Okay, 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
(19:15):
that may or may not be who they pretend to be.
Pardon me while I doctor Wendy Walsh 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,
(19:37):
you name it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Mostly women were getting crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Not from me, because I'm respectful, But a dating app
is now trying to stop users from getting unsolicited sexual messages.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
This is a real problem for women.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
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 or Hilly. It apparently
has forty million users. I talked to some people today
when I did the story on KTLA full disclosure that
they did not know what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I've not heard of.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
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 cyberflashing, or the nudes that you
don't ask for. Apparently, this 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
(20:33):
the message to a notification that asks that person to
either decline or consent, and if the prompt goes unanswered,
they say, the conversation 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
(20:55):
on separate pages. Do 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.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I wish that they would do this for other apps.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
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 go to. That would be helpful dating app asking
(21:34):
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 that I think were very common for the valley girl, Jessica, Courtney, Heather,
(22:00):
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.
Those are still fairly popular.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
In twenty twenty eight five.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
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.
Those names basically dropped, like Jessica, Jennifer, Amanda, Ashley, from
(22:43):
the top ten all the way to the four, five,
six hundreds.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I don't know if this is true.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
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 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.
(23:14):
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
them very much and they're like, I'm not going to
name my kid that mean girls or maybe their boyfriends
(23:34):
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
never be named one of your exes. It's a rule, Ronnie,
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You gotta be careful about that.
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Hey, hence we do not have to do it. And
that was the reason. Well, that's one of men, I say.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, or like I was a James Bond fan too,
and I thought, we've 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 on. That's all right,
Like I said, we all have each other 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?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
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 4 (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.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Have they done to us?
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I don't know, man, it's easy for you to say.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
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
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
(25:26):
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.
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
(25:50):
you anticipating this Taylor Swift release in the next eight
minutes to be life changing? I can't imagine I will
feel any different, but hey, you never know.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
The rapture didn't happen last week. Maybe it will. Maybe
it will.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
At nine, let's go up to Maryland, where some firefighters
are behaving badly.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
This is very rare.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Firefighters are generally considered to be one of the most
respected people in society. 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 literally into the
burning building. They keep us safe. But these guys, uh,
(26:41):
this is a bummer.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Thousands of gallons of water from an engine at the
station was deliberately sprayed onto the field.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Whoops. Remember how I was like there great, and then
I this is what happened.
Speaker 8 (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 8 (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 University
Boulevard before removing the hose from the engine, while a
video shows Captain Riley standing on top of the engine.
Speaker 3 (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 9 (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 8 (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 3 (28:49):
Can't play baseball when 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.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
You know, I love a little yacht rock.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Give me any Ambrosia, 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 artists have dropped out. Another artist
(29:33):
has dropped out rather Ambrosia front man Joe Puerta 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, Alan Parsons, Christopher Cross, Al Stewart,
(29:57):
Kenny Loggins still on the docket. You got Rick Springfield
for Friday. Nobody's playing Saturday, and maybe dire Straits 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 were very quick to say,
(30:18):
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
(30:39):
of a boomer audience. 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 in FEMA and a
(31:00):
sleeping at FEMA ten. It's not gonna happen. By the way,
Christopher Cross, I don't know if you've ever seen him before.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I love this man. He does not look like you
would expect.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
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.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
But this guy.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
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.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Christopher Cross, that guy.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
They gotta admire an entrepreneur. I know somebody's got that
kind of drive. More power to him.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
That's looking and obviously it worked out for him. I
don't know if he still hold I don't know. If
I don't know, I think those days are probably way
far behind him at this point.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Who's to say, I don't know. Did you say how
long was Ambrosia? Are you sure you got that right?
I think that's Paul Kerrick and Ace?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Oh? Did Dan Brosia also do? Yeah, you're right, asted
as did How long? Did did Ambrosia not do a
version of it?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Too?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Also?
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
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.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I don't. Maybe I'm wrong. It's possible. I am but a.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
