Pop culture isn’t just showing up in the workplace—it’s shaping it. On October 3, thousands of Swifties will be out-of-office.
Bad Business
Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Combs to 50 months – or just over four years – for his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. A jury convicted Combs of the lesser charge in July after his two-month, headline-making trial, though the 12 jurors ultimately acquitted the embattled music moguls on the top charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
OJ 30
It's been 30 years since O.J. Simpson was found not guilty of murder in the deaths of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman following a trial that changed media culture forever.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Eann from tonight KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
You can listen anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
We've been talking with you on the app tonight too.
Do you use AI to cheat at work? But many
of you have said no, I'm not gonna use AI.
Here's why I do use aa AI. Here's how others.
I don't use it for work, but I use it
at work. One guy called and he said that he drives.
(00:28):
He drives long haul truck and he uses AI in
his conversations. He says he learns things.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I think that's amazing. So good Anya. Thank you for
everybody that has participated. The talkback is still open. Do
you use AI to cheat at work? Or you know,
do you use it in some way, shape or form.
I've been tinkering with it a little bit this week,
and I'm I'm finding that I'm really working to try
to get AI to learn about me, but I also
(00:53):
type everything in. At some point I'm just gonna start
talking to it, but then I'm gonna feel weird if
I have other people in the office. You know what
I mean a little trippy. Ah, Tony's in tonight. I
appreciate that. Any board, have we heard I have not
heard anything about Foosh in a while. I haven't talked
to him in a bit. So have we heard anything
about Foosh? How he's doing?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
He posted something on Instagram today, Oh he did that.
His leg is doing better okay, and his arm is
still recovering.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Okay's still in surgery getting you know, more war surgery stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
You know, still going through that rehol theory that's realitation
for those unfamiliar.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Foosh is normally the tech director for this shift, but
he was in a horrific car accident. Had he saved
by some good Samaritans, some passers by that pulled him
out of the burning car. And it's kind of a
miracle that he's that he's with us. Okay, here it is.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
One month out of the hospital.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
My arm is still healing, but my leg has improved greatly,
so I'm able to walk more regularly. I'm trying to
use my hand more so that I can improve my dexterity.
I also appreciate all of your check ins. It doesn't
go unnoticed.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
I cannot wait to come back.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Ah, he's the best. What a great dude. I mean
he almost lost his arm, right, Yeah, it was bad,
oh man.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Thanks to those good Samaritans that stopped and saved him.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, and I know Tim had those guys on his show,
didn't he. Yeah, he did good for him. Those guys
deserve all the credit in the world. And nobody pulls
over and pulls someone out of a burning car because
they think they're gonna get some airtime on the Tim
Conway Junior Show, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They do it because there's somebody that needs them.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And I just I think there's more good people in
this world than we think about.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I just think that the world is full of good people.
It's just that for some reason, the bad people become famous.
I just hate that. But that's the world we're in,
so just so refreshing. I gotta tell you, God's on
the street. The first time he walks through those doors
and it comes back to work, there's gonna be tears.
There's gonna be tears, man, There's gonna be tears, and
(02:56):
I I will shed as many as I can for
the man. I'm very excited to have him back.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Uh. In the meantime.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Uh, we got Tony and uh, Tony and I get
along splendidly. I love talking with Tony off the air,
and I'm so excited that Tony's in tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Thank you without the outside the show, right, Yeah, you're good, dude.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh it's modest, that's great.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Nobody can see it. But he's got a great, big
smile the room.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
He's amazing. He's amazing. Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
And then I lead and I work together on Sundays too.
Are you in the Sunday or no? You've got like
a you got shifted around because of the ballgame, didn't you.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
No, I'll still be around.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I'll just kind of be sitting around and monitoring things
during the game.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh, okay, you watch? Do you watch the game or
you justkind of wait for you turn to go.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
I don't really watch.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I used to be a Cowboys fan growing up, and
then Jerry Jones killed it for me, and now I
don't watch it anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I have gotten so many, uh Cowboys memes. You know,
Cowboys fans all searching for VCRs so they can watch
their favorite Cowboys games and when they used to win
playoff games and things like that.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
In the seventies.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh, it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I happened across I know, agus the packers. I watched
this this recent when it was this woman who just
loves to torment her husband and she was in it
looked like a basement, and they're watching TV on this
big flat screen and she says, I think I want
to get one of those vintage TVs. I think they're
so cute. And he's like, why would you do that?
And she said, I thought you'd be supportive. That was
(04:38):
the last time the cowboys were good.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Yeah, they're they are the brunt of a lot of jokes.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh great, I love it. I love it so much.
I'm glad that you guys showed up today.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And I say that because again mo is out Tawala,
who is most producer, is out. Mark Ronner, who normally
sits in the anchor chairs out tonight. And I didn't
get any explanation, but I Kayla sent me a story,
and I think this might be the reason why pop
culture isn't.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Just showing up in the workplace.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
This According to bamboohr dot com, pop culture is shaping
the workplace today. Thousands of Swifties are out of the office.
New data from Bamboo hr reveals that six percent of
salaried workers are taking PTO for the release of the
Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift's new album.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Do is download it?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I know it doesn't not like those days when you
went to the record store insteady line, but they did.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Did you see they were?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
They were lined up around record stores like it was
like when I remember when Michael Jackson's History the double
album came out and people were waiting in line for
like three days. This is before we were doing the
whole Black Friday waiting line for the new PlayStation stuff
like that was one of the early we're standing in
line waiting for this release kind of things. And that's
what it reminded me of. And so, anyway, Life of
(06:03):
a Show Girl released today. Today's show was talking about
it because look, the government shut down, we don't have
the Epstein files. It's possible, We've got life a peace
in the Middle East. But the two stories that led
the news all day long were Diddy sentencing and Taylor
Swift's new album.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
This morning, it's showtime for the Life of a show Girl,
as Taylor Swift releases her twelfth studio album fulfilling fans
wish lists. The music superstar also sharing new photos overnight
on social media, along with the message if you thought
the Big show was wild, perhaps you should come and
take a look behind the curtain. Oh my god, Swifti's
(06:39):
holding streaming parties nationwide in anticipation.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
There you go. That's it. I lean they're doing They're
doing streaming parties.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Okay, that would be why Yeah that sounds fun.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well I'm wondering if that's what Mark and Mow and
Tawalla were.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Gonst be hit. Yeah, can you see er at that?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No, he's a huge Swifty. He's like, oh, wait for
it to come up out on Toby.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
He's afraid of crowds. He's a germophobe. He want there's
no way, no way.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Already reacting to the twelve new tracks, I swear this
is me working really hard, and we were there as
devoted fans lined up at Target stores to grab hard
copies at the stroke of midnight.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
See they're lined up at Target, and I think they're
buying not just hard copy.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
They're not. They're buying the records.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
What's your reaction right now?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That was actually Mark Ronnert.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Just like him.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That was him so good, It's like our super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
One of Taylor's new songs puts a unique spin on
George Michael's classic hit Father Figure.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Oh I've got some of that. You want to hear it? Yes, okay,
here we go, pull it up. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
How do they monetize this now, because they're not really
I mean, she's she's selling some albums, but for the
most part, like you said, I lean this.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You can just download it, you know.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
I don't hate it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I don't hate it, but I went to uh, I
went to YouTube to try to find some and it's
all it's all posted, and it's it's not like it's pirated.
It's all her stuff. So are they monetizing it based
on streams? That has to be it, right, So you
give the music away for free, but you're getting paid
by the distributor rather than selling albums. Now you're giving
(08:44):
the music away, but it's coming out like for every
click on that YouTube she gets paid for every Spotify
she gets paid.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Well, I mean all her money really comes from the
live shows.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And the live shows yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
I think most artists, now that's where they're making the money.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
It is so hard to crack to get through now, though,
isn't it. Oh yeah, so hard.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
YouTubers do great though, I think.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And the and the TikTokers, right, I mean that's almost
how you have to you have to come out now
the old days of trying to get radio play. It's
like the smart radio programmers are paying attention to the
YouTube charts.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yep, that's exactly what they're doing. That's smart. That's uh.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
I mean that's and they don't want to sign record deals.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
They don't need them, no, because they get paid by
the stream. Why do they need to have a record
label that's gonna take, you know, money off the top exactly.
H I mentioned that the big you know, the big stories.
Forget about peace in the Middle East, forget about the
government shutdown. The big stories today that seem to be
the breaking news of Diddy and Taylor Swift, the Didty sentencing.
(09:49):
If you missed that in just a few moments, and
you're gonna need to mark your Diddy calendars. I'll tell
you what the the date is that's coming up. Chris
Maryland from O'Kelly and.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You're listening to kf H sixty on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I'm Chris Maryland for mot tonight. Kay if I am
six forty more stimulating talk most back again tomorrow, excuse Monday.
I'll be back on Sunday, Sunday Sunday along with Eileen.
We're working the Sunday shift together. So let's go B team.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
WHOA Remember you.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Can listen any time on demand of the iHeartRadio app.
Continuing on, there's no business like. The big story today
was did he did he?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
This?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Did he? That? Did he? Going away for a while?
Speaker 9 (10:29):
How long and Good Afternoon on W Johnson and New
York were coming back on the air.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
From ABC News, who did breaking coverage. They had to
break in with this coverage. This is how big this was.
This is massive. It was like OJ Big.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
And Good Afternoon on W Johnson and New York were
coming back on the air because the judge has just
sentenced Sean Diddy Calms to four years in prison. He
was found guilty over the summer on two counts of
transportation to engage in prostitution and connection with his ex
girl friend Cassie Ventura and another woman.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hold on, I this is where law confuses me.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I get so like what I don't understand what this is.
So they convicted him of transportation to engage in prostitution, okay,
but they acquitted him of sex trafficking. Well, okay, what
(11:31):
is sex trafficking versus transportation to engage in prostitution? Because
that sounds like sex with traffic, you're transporting for sex,
So isn't that I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Law confuses me. I don't have any idea.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
What was acquitted on more serious charges that could have
sent him to prison for life. Let's get right to
our chief in vestment.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Also, transportation for prostitution, is that like pimping, like you
took them to a party, or is that like if
you pick up a hooker you can't drive her to
the hotel anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's just wrong. That's just come on, let's be classy here, law.
Speaker 9 (12:15):
Let's get right to our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katerski,
who's been following this prole from the beginning. He joined
us from outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan. So, Aaron,
we just got the verdict right there. We know that
Combs himself spoke to the judge. The judge responded layout
the sentencing here and what went down in the courtroom today.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, before we get to aeron, you guys, remember when
Aaron Katski used to be the radio reporter and now
he's too good for radio. Ooh, I'm doing I'm doing
television now. I talked with ABC's Alex Stone this week,
who I love. I think he's the best radio reporter
(12:54):
ABC has. I think it's spectacular. And I saw him
doing some TV stuff and I to him, Uh huh,
I admonished that man.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I said, uh huh, you're not gonna Koturskys here. You're not.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Don't be thinking you're gonna be Jake Tapper. You're not
going from radio to TV.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Huh uh. You gotta hang out to the good ones.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
This was a very long sentencing hearing which Sean Combs, himself,
once larger than life, was left begging for mercy, standing
at the defense table, telling the judge that he's a
changed man, apologizing for his behavior.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
But Yeah, isn't it funny how these guys are all
really tough and they're untouchable, and their songs are about
how macho they are until they get caught, and then
they're sniveling in front of a judge like I'm a
changed man.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm much better now.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I've I've come to realize things. Just remember that the
next time you, uh you run into one of these
super macho guys. Yeah, Bush comes to shove. Uh huh No,
They're all just like me, giant sissies.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
That for a lenient sentence of time served was rejected
by the judge Arun Subramanian, who said it was insufficient
to send the kind of message that he wanted to send,
that violence against women must be met with real accountability,
and so he sentenced Shawn Combs to four years in prison.
(14:19):
That's not as much as federal prosecutors here wanted. They
wanted eleven years in prison.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Rem Wow, that's a huge deviation from the request. And
that's like just barely a third. So it seems like
he kind of got a light sentence.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Minding the judge that Shawn Colmbs has a pension for
violence and abuse, pointing to twenty sixteen hotel security video
showing Colme's attacking Cassie Ventura, Colmbs says he knows that video.
Intimately he apologized to Cassie Ventura. The judge said eleven
years was unreasonable, but four years is just the right amount.
(14:58):
The judge said to send a message to Sean Colmes,
to victims of domestic violence that their accounts will be
taken seriously.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, and how about sending a message to other macho
guys that think that they're above the law. I mean,
how many times do we hear about an NFL player who, oh, look,
got wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
In domestic violence.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Maybe send a message to these guys like, just because
you're a celebrity and you have a bunch of money
doesn't mean you're not going to do time.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You're not above it. So anyway, mark your calendars.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
He got four years and two months I think, plus
credit for time served. So Diddy is expected to be
released from prison either late twenty twenty eight or early
twenty twenty nine after serving the fifty months in custody.
So that's mark those calendars. Do you think he's gonna
have a you're gonna drop a new album when he
(15:49):
gets out. I hope to God that this is rehabilitated
for him. I hope that he spends his time in
prison not trying to become, you know, the king of
the yard, and actually spend some time reflecting. I mean,
some good art can come out of prison. It really can.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, reflect, dive deep, be authentic, come up with something
that's a maybe you knew Bad Daddy album. Maybe it
goes back to being puff Daddy bad Daddy. How about
from bad Daddy to Bad Bunny. So Bad Bunny's gonna
be at the super Bowl show. He's doing a halftime
show and in a wonderful display of just how split
(16:29):
we are as a nation. If you have listened to
this program for a while tonight, there's a chance either
you sort of get my sense of humor or I irritate
the hell out of you and I get it. I
have a very dry, very dark, very sarcastic sense of humor.
And so I did this video earlier this week for
my Instagram I do, I do one, I do a
couple of week and Chris on the Air, by the
(16:51):
way on Instagram, So I did this video and I said,
people are upset about Bad Bunny. And I said they're
mad because bunnies from Puerto Rico. And many people on
the Internet are saying, why don't they have an American
do it?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And I know many of you may be thinking that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Puerto Rico is an American territory and that Bad Bunny
is an American. But that's not what people on the
internet say, and that's good enough for me. So people
evidently thought I wasn't joking. They didn't get the satire,
so that I followed it up with what I don't
understand is why can't we have a good American band,
like a good classic American band like the Rolling Stones
or Paul McCartney or Rush. And people were livid with me.
(17:31):
I got so much hate for that. They were so mad.
They were like, you're an idiot. Those bands aren't from America.
The one band I meant to mention, and I totally
forgot when I was cutting the videos. I meant to say,
why can't they have a great American bands, you know,
like Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Rush or America, which of
course is a British band. So they got mad at
(17:53):
me for not they didn't get that. It was joke right.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Over their heads.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So anyway, Bad Bunny's going to be at the super Bowl.
He's doing the halftime show. Bad Bunny most of his
sons are in Spanish and now people are mad about that.
And the latest is that Ice is supposed to show
up at the super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
This week, Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski appeared on The Benny
Show podcast criticizing the decision to name Bad Bunny next
year's Super Bowl halftime performer and saying Ice will be
in the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
By the way, Bad Bunny is the most streamed artists
in the world. He's bigger than Taylor Swift as far
as streams go. But a lot of people don't know
that because they're in their bubble. There is nowhere that
you can provide safe have and two people who are
in this country illegally, not the super Bowl and nowhere else.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
We have seen what he has said about this administration
and his tour of canceling tours here because of the
ICE's presence, and this seems to be in retaliation to that.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Okay, So Ice is going to be at the super
Bowl to try to crack down on the illegal immigrants
who evident had a spare seven thousand dollars to buy
tickets to get in.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And also Ice is going to have.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Money to get in to the super Bowl in order
to bust the illegal immigrants who had an extra seven
thousand dollars per ticket.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
To go to the YEP. I see that happening.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, okay, it seems like a good use of time, resources, money.
All right, that's a great idea, really spectacular, good job
and all that.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I made mention of OJ earlier, was listening to Tim
Conway Junior, and he reminded me that this is the
thirty year anniversary of OJ.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But a brief a brief tour through the history.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Of Los Angeles police chases and specifically just that one.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Next you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Usually starting at fourth that we've got the Chargers on
this week, so a show comes on right after the
Chargers postgame show. I look forward to talking with you then,
and I think you're uh, I think you're pretty So.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Take that for what it's worth.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Thirty years ago today, if you were living in Los Angeles,
it was a day that you will never forget. In fact,
I would even argue it's a day that most of
us will never forget. Anyway, I this is one of
those circumstances where I know where I was when OJ
was found not guilty. I know where I was when
the chase happened. I know where I was when the
(20:33):
verdict came down, and we were glued to the TV
all day long waiting for that verdict. We didn't have
the Twitter, we didn't have text alerts, we had radio
and television. We had to wait for it to come down,
and then we called all of our friends because we
had memorized their phone numbers. So I kind of wish
(20:54):
I had been here, and I was, let's see, thirty
years ago, I guess I was seventeen, and I think
I think if I were here, I think I would
have gone out there, and I think I would have
held up signs. But I was I was a sarcastic
(21:16):
seventeen year old, and your seventeen year old are not
real bright anyway, and I was certainly in that category.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think my sign would have been absurd, right. I
would have been like, go, I don't know, I'm just
making this up off the top of my head. Could
it could suck? It? Would?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I would need to brainstorm it. I'd be like, run
oj run for all.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
The citrus fruits out there, you know, something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I don't know. I'm just a spit bowling right now.
I was far more creative when I was seventeen.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So anyway, I think I would have been there.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I think I would have Instead, I was sitting in
a makeshift call center in my neighbor's garage selling satellite dishes,
no joke, and as the verdict came down. It was
a small operation.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
There was like my neighbor did it. I worked for
him after school every day, and.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Then he had somebody else that would come in a
couple days a week, and then we just we would
answer phone calls for people that got flyers in the
newspaper and we try to sell them satellite dishes.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I was terrible at it. But the phones stopped.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The phones did not ring while the verdict was on,
did not ring, and they didn't ring for a little
while afterward either, And then all of a sudden we
started getting some phone calls that a lot kind of
a trickle, but it was like people had people had said, Wow,
(22:53):
that happened. And then I think, in many cases, honestly, god,
I think they were watching TV and it reminded them
that they were paying too much for cable and they
wanted to satellite. I really do I think that. I
think that had something to do with it. And I
just remember being on the phone with people and they
just couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that he was
found not guilty, and they would say, you know, I,
(23:16):
you know, I don't believe it, and I go listen.
I don't know if he did it or not, but
I know that he's not guilty. You know, I don't
know if he's innocent, but I know that he's not guilty,
is what I would say. Anyway, just remembering on that
thirty years ago. Today, Katla did a nice remembrance.
Speaker 12 (23:32):
It was dubbed the Trial of the Century and played
out on television. Football standout OJ Simpson was acquitted on
charges that he murdered his ex wife, Nicole Brown Simpson
and her friend Ron Goldman, both were found fatally stabbed
outside her Brentwood home.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
We spoke with his sister, Kim Goldman. I don't feel
that our family received justice.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Four.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
You know, he's a parking lot with media covered all
aspects of the case, including this moment when police chase
Simpson in a Ford Bronco on the highway for his arrest.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
God, that was good for ratings, so good for ratings.
Speaker 12 (24:05):
During the trial, prosecutors presented DNA evidence linking Simpson to
the murders.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
That was great for ratings too.
Speaker 12 (24:12):
But the defense team's strategy led jurors to question if
the LPD and a lead investigator on the case could
have framed Simpson because of racial bias. The trial came
after Rodney King, a black man, was beaten by police,
which led to the Elie riots and a distrust of
the LPD.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
I understand it now, I understand.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You know all these this is Nicole Brown's sisters, that.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Right here is with the opportunity to talk to people
and to have a real deeper understanding of where Los
Angeles was at that time in history.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
A god, that case was about so much more than
a celebrity who had murdered someone.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So much more. That was a cultural turning point.
Speaker 12 (24:54):
Moments in the trial came when prosecutors had Simpson try
on a bloody glove found at the crime scene and
at a appear to be too small, to which defense
attorney Johnny Cochrane famously said, if it doesn't fit, you
must have quit. The glove is now under lock and
key for archival purposes. The trial is still talked about
today and likely.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
For years to come.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, Oh where in archive? Where is it being kept?
Do you know where the where the glove is? Hang on,
I'm gonna I'm gonna bring this real quick. Where is
OJ's glove kept?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
That should be in a museum. Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Okay, I just say uh the left hand glove was
outside of her home. The right hand glove was found
at his house. Okay, Bing did not answer my question.
Where is it?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Hm? Where is OJ's glove? Now?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
This is good radio when you just do this. Uh
OJ's glove is not in his possession?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Well, I hope not. He's dead.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Gloves were returned to LAPD believe that they either held
in archives or auction for charity. Loves remain part of
the Trials historical record, but their current status is not
publicly known.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Those need to be in a museum. Absolutely needs to
be in a museum. Ow, it's crazy. So anyway, thirty
years ago today, something big happened.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I was selling satellite dishes. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
One final thought here, and you're gonna want to stick
around for this, because we've.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Got nukes in space.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Listen, if we've got a space force, we are definitely
putting nuclear bombs on something.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
What gets the first nuclear treatment.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
As next you're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
The hottest topics, the best takes on KFI looking forward
to sounds like Conway and John Cobolt are looking at
what Newsom's doing, curious about how the two of them
handle that, and in that the best part is that
you listen to John and he's.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
Got this this take, and you listened to Tim and
he's got this take, and you know that they agree
on most things, but the way that they look at
it is completely different.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
That's why I love I Love Love Love Live radio
because I didn't think of that. Oh I didn't think
of that. Well that's really interesting. God, it's so good,
so good. I'm so honored to be a part of it.
Chris Merrill INFROMO KELLYKFI AM six forty and you can
listen any time on demand of the iheartradiop Make sure
you join me Sunday's Sunday afternoon and then on occasion
when I get the phone called to come in off
(27:29):
the bench.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
We have a space force.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Is there any point in having a space force if
you're not gonna lob nuclear weapons at asteroids? And I
would argue, no straight arrow news telling us where we're aiming.
Speaker 14 (27:43):
It's not a Hollywood movie. It's an actual proposal and
a study submitted for peer review by scientists, including some
from NASA. They say it maybe needed to protect astronauts
at the International Space Station from debris in the aftermath
of a potential impact with the Moon.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Listen, if something happens to our moon, it's gotten gonna matter.
You're gonna have an Earth to come back to. We
got to have the moon, or that's it. Life is
wiped out.
Speaker 14 (28:10):
The asteroid has a four percent chance of hitting the
Moon at a zero point zero zero zero eight one
percent chance of striking earths.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Okay, it's not gonna hit us, and we're like, oh good,
the Moon will protect us. Uh, you better hope. So
you better hope it doesn't mess with the Moon or
the orbit.
Speaker 14 (28:28):
Because we be toast Still, Researchers argue nuking the asteroid
is the best option given the relatively short time frames
and the unknowns, including the asteroid's composition and size. Scientists
estimate it could be up to two billion pounds a
redirection mission conductor.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Which is basically me after pizza Fridays.
Speaker 14 (28:47):
Did by NASA that could change the course of an
asteroid would be out of the question given its potential size. Instead,
scientists propose launching two devices strapped with nuclear bombs to
intercept and blow up the asteroid before it gets near
the Moon and Earth in twenty two.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And my understanding is that they would have to mine
into the asteroid, which means that they would have to
train offshore drillers to be astronauts to take that trip
and save all of humanity.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
There's a moment.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You thought of science fiction.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Of this thing.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Because God, I'm good. I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Now, listen, I'm not. No, no, no, I'm not. I
love what I do. I will not give it up
for a music career. And I know a lot of
you have been asking about that, and I just I
won't do it, but I do appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I am flattered.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
So we're gonna send a nuclear bomb to an asteroid
to blow it up, move it off course. All the
things that we have to do to make sure it
doesn't hit the Moon, which you don't want it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
To hit the moon.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
If the Moon's orbit gets messed up, we lose things
like tides. It will affect all of our weather. You
thought climate change now is bad, just wait until we
don't have a moon. We're toast telling you we are toast.
But you know what's interesting about this is that this
exact theory was discussed just.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Four years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
KTLA was talking about this very thing, not this asteroid,
but this very thing.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Four years ago.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
NASA is warning that not even a nuclear bomb nuclear bomb?
Did I say a nuclear nuclear bomb would stop a
giant asteroid heading for Earth?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Wait a minute, but now they're saying it would.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
In a simulated exercise, US and European scientists were told
they had six months to come up with a plant
to save Earth from a giant asteroid.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That is literally the Armage plot.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
They determined six months was not enough time to prepare
a spacecraft to blow it up with a nuclear bomb.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Okay, well how about you start now before you have
come on, we have so many warheads.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Can't we just throw one in the.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
One of the SpaceX rockets and get it ready to
go in.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Case like in the movie Armageddon. I just said that
simulations showed a nuke may not even put a dent
in a large asteroids.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
So this is, you know, encouraging news for No, we're toasted.
That's it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Maybe we just need bigger nuclear bombs. Throw that out there, right,
Maybe we just need to treat to teach the Earth
how to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. Anybody think
of that, NASA smarty pants. Nope, thanks for hanging out
with me tonight, Tony, You're amazing pill. I just love
(31:57):
it when you're in I love working with you, and
you know, I look forward to talking to you every
single Sunday, and I'm gonna look forward to talking again
this Sunday.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
You're the best.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Thank youre job to right back at you.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Great job. You're just You're magical. And u Kayla who
produced the show, she did it remotely tonight. She'll be
back with us on Sunday as well. She is special
and I mean that in the most sincere way possible.
She's just a very special person. So thank you everyone.
We'll talk to you Sunday. Chris Marilynd from o Kelly
KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (32:26):
App KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand Chris Merril.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Eann from tonight KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
You can listen anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
We've been talking with you on the app tonight too.
Do you use AI to cheat at work? But many
of you have said no, I'm not gonna use AI.
Here's why I do use aa AI. Here's how others.
I don't use it for work, but I use it
at work. One guy called and he said that he drives.
(00:28):
He drives long haul truck and he uses AI in
his conversations. He says he learns things.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I think that's amazing. So good Anya. Thank you for
everybody that has participated. The talkback is still open. Do
you use AI to cheat at work? Or you know,
do you use it in some way, shape or form.
I've been tinkering with it a little bit this week,
and I'm I'm finding that I'm really working to try
to get AI to learn about me, but I also
(00:53):
type everything in. At some point I'm just gonna start
talking to it, but then I'm gonna feel weird if
I have other people in the office. You know what
I mean a little trippy. Ah, Tony's in tonight. I
appreciate that. Any board, have we heard I have not
heard anything about Foosh in a while. I haven't talked
to him in a bit. So have we heard anything
about Foosh? How he's doing?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
He posted something on Instagram today, Oh he did that.
His leg is doing better okay, and his arm is
still recovering.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Okay's still in surgery getting you know, more war surgery stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
You know, still going through that rehol theory that's realitation
for those unfamiliar.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Foosh is normally the tech director for this shift, but
he was in a horrific car accident. Had he saved
by some good Samaritans, some passers by that pulled him
out of the burning car. And it's kind of a
miracle that he's that he's with us. Okay, here it is.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
One month out of the hospital.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
My arm is still healing, but my leg has improved greatly,
so I'm able to walk more regularly. I'm trying to
use my hand more so that I can improve my dexterity.
I also appreciate all of your check ins. It doesn't
go unnoticed.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
I cannot wait to come back.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Ah, he's the best. What a great dude. I mean
he almost lost his arm, right, Yeah, it was bad,
oh man.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Thanks to those good Samaritans that stopped and saved him.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, and I know Tim had those guys on his show,
didn't he. Yeah, he did good for him. Those guys
deserve all the credit in the world. And nobody pulls
over and pulls someone out of a burning car because
they think they're gonna get some airtime on the Tim
Conway Junior Show, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They do it because there's somebody that needs them.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And I just I think there's more good people in
this world than we think about.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I just think that the world is full of good people.
It's just that for some reason, the bad people become famous.
I just hate that. But that's the world we're in,
so just so refreshing. I gotta tell you, God's on
the street. The first time he walks through those doors
and it comes back to work, there's gonna be tears.
There's gonna be tears, man, There's gonna be tears, and
(02:56):
I I will shed as many as I can for
the man. I'm very excited to have him back.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Uh. In the meantime.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Uh, we got Tony and uh, Tony and I get
along splendidly. I love talking with Tony off the air,
and I'm so excited that Tony's in tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Thank you without the outside the show, right, Yeah, you're good, dude.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh it's modest, that's great.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Nobody can see it. But he's got a great, big
smile the room.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
He's amazing. He's amazing. Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
And then I lead and I work together on Sundays too.
Are you in the Sunday or no? You've got like
a you got shifted around because of the ballgame, didn't you.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
No, I'll still be around.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I'll just kind of be sitting around and monitoring things
during the game.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh, okay, you watch? Do you watch the game or
you justkind of wait for you turn to go.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
I don't really watch.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I used to be a Cowboys fan growing up, and
then Jerry Jones killed it for me, and now I
don't watch it anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I have gotten so many, uh Cowboys memes. You know,
Cowboys fans all searching for VCRs so they can watch
their favorite Cowboys games and when they used to win
playoff games and things like that.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
In the seventies.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh, it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I happened across I know, agus the packers. I watched
this this recent when it was this woman who just
loves to torment her husband and she was in it
looked like a basement, and they're watching TV on this
big flat screen and she says, I think I want
to get one of those vintage TVs. I think they're
so cute. And he's like, why would you do that?
And she said, I thought you'd be supportive. That was
(04:38):
the last time the cowboys were good.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Yeah, they're they are the brunt of a lot of jokes.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh great, I love it. I love it so much.
I'm glad that you guys showed up today.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And I say that because again mo is out Tawala,
who is most producer, is out. Mark Ronner, who normally
sits in the anchor chairs out tonight. And I didn't
get any explanation, but I Kayla sent me a story,
and I think this might be the reason why pop
culture isn't.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Just showing up in the workplace.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
This According to bamboohr dot com, pop culture is shaping
the workplace today. Thousands of Swifties are out of the office.
New data from Bamboo hr reveals that six percent of
salaried workers are taking PTO for the release of the
Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift's new album.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Do is download it?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I know it doesn't not like those days when you
went to the record store insteady line, but they did.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Did you see they were?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
They were lined up around record stores like it was
like when I remember when Michael Jackson's History the double
album came out and people were waiting in line for
like three days. This is before we were doing the
whole Black Friday waiting line for the new PlayStation stuff
like that was one of the early we're standing in
line waiting for this release kind of things. And that's
what it reminded me of. And so, anyway, Life of
(06:03):
a Show Girl released today. Today's show was talking about
it because look, the government shut down, we don't have
the Epstein files. It's possible, We've got life a peace
in the Middle East. But the two stories that led
the news all day long were Diddy sentencing and Taylor
Swift's new album.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
This morning, it's showtime for the Life of a show Girl,
as Taylor Swift releases her twelfth studio album fulfilling fans
wish lists. The music superstar also sharing new photos overnight
on social media, along with the message if you thought
the Big show was wild, perhaps you should come and
take a look behind the curtain. Oh my god, Swifti's
(06:39):
holding streaming parties nationwide in anticipation.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
There you go. That's it. I lean they're doing They're
doing streaming parties.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Okay, that would be why Yeah that sounds fun.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well I'm wondering if that's what Mark and Mow and
Tawalla were.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Gonst be hit. Yeah, can you see er at that?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No, he's a huge Swifty. He's like, oh, wait for
it to come up out on Toby.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
He's afraid of crowds. He's a germophobe. He want there's
no way, no way.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Already reacting to the twelve new tracks, I swear this
is me working really hard, and we were there as
devoted fans lined up at Target stores to grab hard
copies at the stroke of midnight.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
See they're lined up at Target, and I think they're
buying not just hard copy.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
They're not. They're buying the records.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
What's your reaction right now?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That was actually Mark Ronnert.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Just like him.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That was him so good, It's like our super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
One of Taylor's new songs puts a unique spin on
George Michael's classic hit Father Figure.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Oh I've got some of that. You want to hear it? Yes, okay,
here we go, pull it up. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
How do they monetize this now, because they're not really
I mean, she's she's selling some albums, but for the
most part, like you said, I lean this.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You can just download it, you know.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
I don't hate it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I don't hate it, but I went to uh, I
went to YouTube to try to find some and it's
all it's all posted, and it's it's not like it's pirated.
It's all her stuff. So are they monetizing it based
on streams? That has to be it, right, So you
give the music away for free, but you're getting paid
by the distributor rather than selling albums. Now you're giving
(08:44):
the music away, but it's coming out like for every
click on that YouTube she gets paid for every Spotify
she gets paid.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Well, I mean all her money really comes from the
live shows.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And the live shows yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
I think most artists, now that's where they're making the money.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
It is so hard to crack to get through now, though,
isn't it. Oh yeah, so hard.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
YouTubers do great though, I think.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And the and the TikTokers, right, I mean that's almost
how you have to you have to come out now
the old days of trying to get radio play. It's
like the smart radio programmers are paying attention to the
YouTube charts.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yep, that's exactly what they're doing. That's smart. That's uh.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
I mean that's and they don't want to sign record deals.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
They don't need them, no, because they get paid by
the stream. Why do they need to have a record
label that's gonna take, you know, money off the top exactly.
H I mentioned that the big you know, the big stories.
Forget about peace in the Middle East, forget about the
government shutdown. The big stories today that seem to be
the breaking news of Diddy and Taylor Swift, the Didty sentencing.
(09:49):
If you missed that in just a few moments, and
you're gonna need to mark your Diddy calendars. I'll tell
you what the the date is that's coming up. Chris
Maryland from O'Kelly and.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You're listening to kf H sixty on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I'm Chris Maryland for mot tonight. Kay if I am
six forty more stimulating talk most back again tomorrow, excuse Monday.
I'll be back on Sunday, Sunday Sunday along with Eileen.
We're working the Sunday shift together. So let's go B team.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
WHOA Remember you.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Can listen any time on demand of the iHeartRadio app.
Continuing on, there's no business like. The big story today
was did he did he?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
This?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Did he? That? Did he? Going away for a while?
Speaker 9 (10:29):
How long and Good Afternoon on W Johnson and New
York were coming back on the air.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
From ABC News, who did breaking coverage. They had to
break in with this coverage. This is how big this was.
This is massive. It was like OJ Big.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
And Good Afternoon on W Johnson and New York were
coming back on the air because the judge has just
sentenced Sean Diddy Calms to four years in prison. He
was found guilty over the summer on two counts of
transportation to engage in prostitution and connection with his ex
girl friend Cassie Ventura and another woman.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hold on, I this is where law confuses me.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I get so like what I don't understand what this is.
So they convicted him of transportation to engage in prostitution, okay,
but they acquitted him of sex trafficking. Well, okay, what
(11:31):
is sex trafficking versus transportation to engage in prostitution? Because
that sounds like sex with traffic, you're transporting for sex,
So isn't that I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Law confuses me. I don't have any idea.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
What was acquitted on more serious charges that could have
sent him to prison for life. Let's get right to
our chief in vestment.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Also, transportation for prostitution, is that like pimping, like you
took them to a party, or is that like if
you pick up a hooker you can't drive her to
the hotel anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's just wrong. That's just come on, let's be classy here, law.
Speaker 9 (12:15):
Let's get right to our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katerski,
who's been following this prole from the beginning. He joined
us from outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan. So, Aaron,
we just got the verdict right there. We know that
Combs himself spoke to the judge. The judge responded layout
the sentencing here and what went down in the courtroom today.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, before we get to aeron, you guys, remember when
Aaron Katski used to be the radio reporter and now
he's too good for radio. Ooh, I'm doing I'm doing
television now. I talked with ABC's Alex Stone this week,
who I love. I think he's the best radio reporter
(12:54):
ABC has. I think it's spectacular. And I saw him
doing some TV stuff and I to him, Uh huh,
I admonished that man.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I said, uh huh, you're not gonna Koturskys here. You're not.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Don't be thinking you're gonna be Jake Tapper. You're not
going from radio to TV.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Huh uh. You gotta hang out to the good ones.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
This was a very long sentencing hearing which Sean Combs, himself,
once larger than life, was left begging for mercy, standing
at the defense table, telling the judge that he's a
changed man, apologizing for his behavior.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
But Yeah, isn't it funny how these guys are all
really tough and they're untouchable, and their songs are about
how macho they are until they get caught, and then
they're sniveling in front of a judge like I'm a
changed man.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm much better now.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I've I've come to realize things. Just remember that the
next time you, uh you run into one of these
super macho guys. Yeah, Bush comes to shove. Uh huh No,
They're all just like me, giant sissies.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
That for a lenient sentence of time served was rejected
by the judge Arun Subramanian, who said it was insufficient
to send the kind of message that he wanted to send,
that violence against women must be met with real accountability,
and so he sentenced Shawn Combs to four years in prison.
(14:19):
That's not as much as federal prosecutors here wanted. They
wanted eleven years in prison.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Rem Wow, that's a huge deviation from the request. And
that's like just barely a third. So it seems like
he kind of got a light sentence.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Minding the judge that Shawn Colmbs has a pension for
violence and abuse, pointing to twenty sixteen hotel security video
showing Colme's attacking Cassie Ventura, Colmbs says he knows that video.
Intimately he apologized to Cassie Ventura. The judge said eleven
years was unreasonable, but four years is just the right amount.
(14:58):
The judge said to send a message to Sean Colmes,
to victims of domestic violence that their accounts will be
taken seriously.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, and how about sending a message to other macho
guys that think that they're above the law. I mean,
how many times do we hear about an NFL player who, oh, look,
got wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
In domestic violence.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Maybe send a message to these guys like, just because
you're a celebrity and you have a bunch of money
doesn't mean you're not going to do time.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You're not above it. So anyway, mark your calendars.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
He got four years and two months I think, plus
credit for time served. So Diddy is expected to be
released from prison either late twenty twenty eight or early
twenty twenty nine after serving the fifty months in custody.
So that's mark those calendars. Do you think he's gonna
have a you're gonna drop a new album when he
(15:49):
gets out. I hope to God that this is rehabilitated
for him. I hope that he spends his time in
prison not trying to become, you know, the king of
the yard, and actually spend some time reflecting. I mean,
some good art can come out of prison. It really can.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, reflect, dive deep, be authentic, come up with something
that's a maybe you knew Bad Daddy album. Maybe it
goes back to being puff Daddy bad Daddy. How about
from bad Daddy to Bad Bunny. So Bad Bunny's gonna
be at the super Bowl show. He's doing a halftime
show and in a wonderful display of just how split
(16:29):
we are as a nation. If you have listened to
this program for a while tonight, there's a chance either
you sort of get my sense of humor or I irritate
the hell out of you and I get it. I
have a very dry, very dark, very sarcastic sense of humor.
And so I did this video earlier this week for
my Instagram I do, I do one, I do a
couple of week and Chris on the Air, by the
(16:51):
way on Instagram, So I did this video and I said,
people are upset about Bad Bunny. And I said they're
mad because bunnies from Puerto Rico. And many people on
the Internet are saying, why don't they have an American
do it?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And I know many of you may be thinking that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Puerto Rico is an American territory and that Bad Bunny
is an American. But that's not what people on the
internet say, and that's good enough for me. So people
evidently thought I wasn't joking. They didn't get the satire,
so that I followed it up with what I don't
understand is why can't we have a good American band,
like a good classic American band like the Rolling Stones
or Paul McCartney or Rush. And people were livid with me.
(17:31):
I got so much hate for that. They were so mad.
They were like, you're an idiot. Those bands aren't from America.
The one band I meant to mention, and I totally
forgot when I was cutting the videos. I meant to say,
why can't they have a great American bands, you know,
like Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Rush or America, which of
course is a British band. So they got mad at
(17:53):
me for not they didn't get that. It was joke right.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Over their heads.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So anyway, Bad Bunny's going to be at the super Bowl.
He's doing the halftime show. Bad Bunny most of his
sons are in Spanish and now people are mad about that.
And the latest is that Ice is supposed to show
up at the super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
This week, Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski appeared on The Benny
Show podcast criticizing the decision to name Bad Bunny next
year's Super Bowl halftime performer and saying Ice will be
in the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
By the way, Bad Bunny is the most streamed artists
in the world. He's bigger than Taylor Swift as far
as streams go. But a lot of people don't know
that because they're in their bubble. There is nowhere that
you can provide safe have and two people who are
in this country illegally, not the super Bowl and nowhere else.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
We have seen what he has said about this administration
and his tour of canceling tours here because of the
ICE's presence, and this seems to be in retaliation to that.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Okay, So Ice is going to be at the super
Bowl to try to crack down on the illegal immigrants
who evident had a spare seven thousand dollars to buy
tickets to get in.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And also Ice is going to have.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Money to get in to the super Bowl in order
to bust the illegal immigrants who had an extra seven
thousand dollars per ticket.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
To go to the YEP. I see that happening.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, okay, it seems like a good use of time, resources, money.
All right, that's a great idea, really spectacular, good job
and all that.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I made mention of OJ earlier, was listening to Tim
Conway Junior, and he reminded me that this is the
thirty year anniversary of OJ.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But a brief a brief tour through the history.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Of Los Angeles police chases and specifically just that one.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Next you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Usually starting at fourth that we've got the Chargers on
this week, so a show comes on right after the
Chargers postgame show. I look forward to talking with you then,
and I think you're uh, I think you're pretty So.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Take that for what it's worth.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Thirty years ago today, if you were living in Los Angeles,
it was a day that you will never forget. In fact,
I would even argue it's a day that most of
us will never forget. Anyway, I this is one of
those circumstances where I know where I was when OJ
was found not guilty. I know where I was when
the chase happened. I know where I was when the
(20:33):
verdict came down, and we were glued to the TV
all day long waiting for that verdict. We didn't have
the Twitter, we didn't have text alerts, we had radio
and television. We had to wait for it to come down,
and then we called all of our friends because we
had memorized their phone numbers. So I kind of wish
(20:54):
I had been here, and I was, let's see, thirty
years ago, I guess I was seventeen, and I think
I think if I were here, I think I would
have gone out there, and I think I would have
held up signs. But I was I was a sarcastic
(21:16):
seventeen year old, and your seventeen year old are not
real bright anyway, and I was certainly in that category.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think my sign would have been absurd, right. I
would have been like, go, I don't know, I'm just
making this up off the top of my head. Could
it could suck? It? Would?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I would need to brainstorm it. I'd be like, run
oj run for all.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
The citrus fruits out there, you know, something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I don't know. I'm just a spit bowling right now.
I was far more creative when I was seventeen.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So anyway, I think I would have been there.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I think I would have Instead, I was sitting in
a makeshift call center in my neighbor's garage selling satellite dishes,
no joke, and as the verdict came down. It was
a small operation.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
There was like my neighbor did it. I worked for
him after school every day, and.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Then he had somebody else that would come in a
couple days a week, and then we just we would
answer phone calls for people that got flyers in the
newspaper and we try to sell them satellite dishes.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I was terrible at it. But the phones stopped.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The phones did not ring while the verdict was on,
did not ring, and they didn't ring for a little
while afterward either, And then all of a sudden we
started getting some phone calls that a lot kind of
a trickle, but it was like people had people had said, Wow,
(22:53):
that happened. And then I think, in many cases, honestly, god,
I think they were watching TV and it reminded them
that they were paying too much for cable and they
wanted to satellite. I really do I think that. I
think that had something to do with it. And I
just remember being on the phone with people and they
just couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that he was
found not guilty, and they would say, you know, I,
(23:16):
you know, I don't believe it, and I go listen.
I don't know if he did it or not, but
I know that he's not guilty. You know, I don't
know if he's innocent, but I know that he's not guilty,
is what I would say. Anyway, just remembering on that
thirty years ago. Today, Katla did a nice remembrance.
Speaker 12 (23:32):
It was dubbed the Trial of the Century and played
out on television. Football standout OJ Simpson was acquitted on
charges that he murdered his ex wife, Nicole Brown Simpson
and her friend Ron Goldman, both were found fatally stabbed
outside her Brentwood home.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
We spoke with his sister, Kim Goldman. I don't feel
that our family received justice.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Four.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
You know, he's a parking lot with media covered all
aspects of the case, including this moment when police chase
Simpson in a Ford Bronco on the highway for his arrest.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
God, that was good for ratings, so good for ratings.
Speaker 12 (24:05):
During the trial, prosecutors presented DNA evidence linking Simpson to
the murders.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
That was great for ratings too.
Speaker 12 (24:12):
But the defense team's strategy led jurors to question if
the LPD and a lead investigator on the case could
have framed Simpson because of racial bias. The trial came
after Rodney King, a black man, was beaten by police,
which led to the Elie riots and a distrust of
the LPD.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
I understand it now, I understand.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You know all these this is Nicole Brown's sisters, that.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Right here is with the opportunity to talk to people
and to have a real deeper understanding of where Los
Angeles was at that time in history.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
A god, that case was about so much more than
a celebrity who had murdered someone.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So much more. That was a cultural turning point.
Speaker 12 (24:54):
Moments in the trial came when prosecutors had Simpson try
on a bloody glove found at the crime scene and
at a appear to be too small, to which defense
attorney Johnny Cochrane famously said, if it doesn't fit, you
must have quit. The glove is now under lock and
key for archival purposes. The trial is still talked about
today and likely.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
For years to come.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, Oh where in archive? Where is it being kept?
Do you know where the where the glove is? Hang on,
I'm gonna I'm gonna bring this real quick. Where is
OJ's glove kept?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
That should be in a museum. Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Okay, I just say uh the left hand glove was
outside of her home. The right hand glove was found
at his house. Okay, Bing did not answer my question.
Where is it?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Hm? Where is OJ's glove? Now?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
This is good radio when you just do this. Uh
OJ's glove is not in his possession?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Well, I hope not. He's dead.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Gloves were returned to LAPD believe that they either held
in archives or auction for charity. Loves remain part of
the Trials historical record, but their current status is not
publicly known.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Those need to be in a museum. Absolutely needs to
be in a museum. Ow, it's crazy. So anyway, thirty
years ago today, something big happened.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I was selling satellite dishes. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
One final thought here, and you're gonna want to stick
around for this, because we've.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Got nukes in space.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Listen, if we've got a space force, we are definitely
putting nuclear bombs on something.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
What gets the first nuclear treatment.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
As next you're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
The hottest topics, the best takes on KFI looking forward
to sounds like Conway and John Cobolt are looking at
what Newsom's doing, curious about how the two of them
handle that, and in that the best part is that
you listen to John and he's.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
Got this this take, and you listened to Tim and
he's got this take, and you know that they agree
on most things, but the way that they look at
it is completely different.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
That's why I love I Love Love Love Live radio
because I didn't think of that. Oh I didn't think
of that. Well that's really interesting. God, it's so good,
so good. I'm so honored to be a part of it.
Chris Merrill INFROMO KELLYKFI AM six forty and you can
listen any time on demand of the iheartradiop Make sure
you join me Sunday's Sunday afternoon and then on occasion
when I get the phone called to come in off
(27:29):
the bench.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
We have a space force.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Is there any point in having a space force if
you're not gonna lob nuclear weapons at asteroids? And I
would argue, no straight arrow news telling us where we're aiming.
Speaker 14 (27:43):
It's not a Hollywood movie. It's an actual proposal and
a study submitted for peer review by scientists, including some
from NASA. They say it maybe needed to protect astronauts
at the International Space Station from debris in the aftermath
of a potential impact with the Moon.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Listen, if something happens to our moon, it's gotten gonna matter.
You're gonna have an Earth to come back to. We
got to have the moon, or that's it. Life is
wiped out.
Speaker 14 (28:10):
The asteroid has a four percent chance of hitting the
Moon at a zero point zero zero zero eight one
percent chance of striking earths.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Okay, it's not gonna hit us, and we're like, oh good,
the Moon will protect us. Uh, you better hope. So
you better hope it doesn't mess with the Moon or
the orbit.
Speaker 14 (28:28):
Because we be toast Still, Researchers argue nuking the asteroid
is the best option given the relatively short time frames
and the unknowns, including the asteroid's composition and size. Scientists
estimate it could be up to two billion pounds a
redirection mission conductor.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Which is basically me after pizza Fridays.
Speaker 14 (28:47):
Did by NASA that could change the course of an
asteroid would be out of the question given its potential size. Instead,
scientists propose launching two devices strapped with nuclear bombs to
intercept and blow up the asteroid before it gets near
the Moon and Earth in twenty two.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And my understanding is that they would have to mine
into the asteroid, which means that they would have to
train offshore drillers to be astronauts to take that trip
and save all of humanity.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
There's a moment.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You thought of science fiction.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Of this thing.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Because God, I'm good. I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Now, listen, I'm not. No, no, no, I'm not. I
love what I do. I will not give it up
for a music career. And I know a lot of
you have been asking about that, and I just I
won't do it, but I do appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I am flattered.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
So we're gonna send a nuclear bomb to an asteroid
to blow it up, move it off course. All the
things that we have to do to make sure it
doesn't hit the Moon, which you don't want it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
To hit the moon.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
If the Moon's orbit gets messed up, we lose things
like tides. It will affect all of our weather. You
thought climate change now is bad, just wait until we
don't have a moon. We're toast telling you we are toast.
But you know what's interesting about this is that this
exact theory was discussed just.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Four years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
KTLA was talking about this very thing, not this asteroid,
but this very thing.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Four years ago.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
NASA is warning that not even a nuclear bomb nuclear bomb?
Did I say a nuclear nuclear bomb would stop a
giant asteroid heading for Earth?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Wait a minute, but now they're saying it would.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
In a simulated exercise, US and European scientists were told
they had six months to come up with a plant
to save Earth from a giant asteroid.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That is literally the Armage plot.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
They determined six months was not enough time to prepare
a spacecraft to blow it up with a nuclear bomb.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Okay, well how about you start now before you have
come on, we have so many warheads.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Can't we just throw one in the.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
One of the SpaceX rockets and get it ready to
go in.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Case like in the movie Armageddon. I just said that
simulations showed a nuke may not even put a dent
in a large asteroids.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
So this is, you know, encouraging news for No, we're toasted.
That's it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Maybe we just need bigger nuclear bombs. Throw that out there, right,
Maybe we just need to treat to teach the Earth
how to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. Anybody think
of that, NASA smarty pants. Nope, thanks for hanging out
with me tonight, Tony, You're amazing pill. I just love

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.
