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.

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):
Even from mo tonight k if I 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 ea 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. Tony's in tonight. Appreciate that.
Any word have we heard? I have not heard anything
about Fush 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 okay.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
In surgery getting you know, more war surgery stuff. You know,
still going through that hoopery. That's remitation for those unfamiliar.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Foush 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.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And it's kind of a miracle that he's that he's
with us. Okay, here it is one month out of
the hospital.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
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 2 (01:56):
Thank you. I cannot wait to come back. Ah he's
the best. What a great dude. I mean he almost
lost his arm, right, Yeah, it was bad, oh.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Man, 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 the burning car because
they think they're gonna get some airtime on the Tim
Conway Junior Show, you know what I mean. They do
it because there's somebody that needs them. 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 the world is full of good people.
It's just that for some reason, the bad people become famous.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I just hate that. But that's the world we're in.
So just so refreshing.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I gotta tell you, God's on a street. The first
time he walks through those doors and it comes back
to work, there's gonna be tears.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
There's gonna be tears, man, There's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Tears, and I I will shed as many as I
can for the man.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm very excited to have him back. Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
In the meantime, 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 at the Tony's
in tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Thank you without the outside the show, right, Yeah, you're
good dude. Oh it's modest, that's great. Nobody can see it.
But he's got a great big smile the room. He's amazing.
He's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Uh. And then I lead and I work together on
Sundays too. Are you in the Sunday or no, you've
got like a you've got shifted around because of the ballgame.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Didn't you. 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 watched Do you watch the game or
you're just kinda wait for turn to go? I don't
watch 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 (03:56):
I have gotten so many, uh cowboy 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 2 (04:13):
In the seventies.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh, it's so funny. I happened across I know, Augus,
the Packers. I watched this this reason 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
(04:36):
you do that? And she said, I thought you'd be supportive.
That was the last time the cowboys were good.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, they're they are the brunt of a lot of jokes. Great.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I love it. I love it so much. I'm glad
that you guys showed up today.
Speaker 5 (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 chair, is 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 (05:10):
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 2 (05:33):
Did you do is download it?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I know it doesn't not like those days when you
went to the record store instead of line.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
But they did. 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 6 (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.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Oh my god, Swift he's.
Speaker 6 (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. Okay, that would be why. Yeah that
sounds fun. Well I'm wondering if that's what Mark and
Mow and Tawalla were must be hit. Yeah, can you
see er at that?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
No, he's a huge Swifties. He's like, I'll wait for
it to come on on, Toby.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
He's afraid of crowds. He's a germophobe. With him, there's
no way, no way.
Speaker 6 (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. What's your reaction right now?
Oh my god? That was actually Mark Ronnert just like him.
That was him.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
So good.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's like our super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
One of Taylor's new songs puts a unique spin on
George Michael's classic hit father Figures.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Oh I've got some of that. You want to hear it? Yes, Okay,
here we go, I 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, you.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Can just download it, you know. I don't hate it.
I don't hate it, but I went.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
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
(08:43):
you're giving 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 2 (08:51):
Well, I mean all her money really comes from the
live shows. And the live shows.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, okay, 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 2 (09:04):
Those YouTubers do great though, I think, and the and.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
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.
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.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The top exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
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.
If you miss 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
(09:57):
Maryland from Okelly and.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You're listening to KF six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I'm Chris Maryland for MO tonight k IF I am
six forty more stimulating talk most back again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Excuse Monday.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Uh, I'll be back on Sunday, Sunday Sunday along with Eileen.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
We're working the Sunday shift together. So let's go be
team WHOA.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Remember you 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?
Speaker 7 (10:27):
That?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Did he? Going away for a while?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
How long and Good Afternoon On with 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.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
This is massive. It was like OJ Big.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
And Good Afternoon On with Johnson and New York were
coming back on the air because the judge has just
sentenced Sean Diddy Colms 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 3 (11:03):
Hold on, I this is where law confuses me. 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.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
What okay?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
What 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. Law confuses me. I
don't have any idea.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
But was acquitted on more serious charges that could have
sent him to prison for life.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Let's get right to our chief and vestment. Also, transportation
for prostitution?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
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 7 (12:15):
Let's get right to our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katski,
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 Katurski used to be their 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 he's spectacular. And I saw him
doing some TV stuff and I told him, uh huh,
I admonished that man.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I said, uh uh, you're not gonna Kotursky us 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):
Uh uh. You gotta hang out to the good ones.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
This was a very long sentencing hearing, with 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. I've I've come to realize things.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
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 8 (13:59):
That record for a lenient sentence of time served was
rejected by the judge Aarun 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. That's not as much as federal prosecutors
(14:21):
here wanted. They wanted eleven years in prison.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Room.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Wow, that's a huge deviation from the request. And that's
like just barely a third. So seems like he kind
of got a light sentence.
Speaker 8 (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. You're not
above it. So anyway, mark your calendars. 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
(15:38):
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 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
(15:59):
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 and I do I do one,
I do a couple of week and Chris on the Air,
(16:51):
by the way on Instagram. So I did this video
and I said, people are upset about bad Bunny. And
I said they're mad because bad bunnies from Puerto Rico.
And many people on the Internet are saying, why don't
they have an American do it? And I know many
of you may be thinking that 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
(17:12):
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. I got so much
hate for that. They were so mad. They were like,
(17:35):
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 me
for not they didn't get that. It was joke right
(17:56):
over their heads. 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 9 (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 in two people who are
in this country illegally, not the super Bowl and nowhere else.
Speaker 10 (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 evidently had a spare seven thousand dollars to buy
tickets to get in.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And also Ice is going to have money to get
in to the super Bowl in order to.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Bust the illegal immigrants who had an extra seven thousand
dollars per ticket to go to the YEP.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
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.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Me that this is the thirty year anniversary of OJ.
But a brief, a brief tour through the history of.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
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 I think you're pretty So take
that for what it's worth. Thirty years ago today, if
you were living in Los Angeles, it was a day
(20:15):
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 verdict came down, and we
were glued to the TV all day long waiting for
(20:38):
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. Then we called all
of our friends because we had memorized their phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So I kind of.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Wish 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
(21:13):
sarcastic seventeen year old, and your seventeen year old are
not real bright anyway, and I was certainly in that category.
I think my sign would have been absurd, right. I
would have been like, go, I don't know, I'm just
(21:33):
making this up off the top of my head. Could
it could suck?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
It?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
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 pulling right now.
I was far more creative when I was seventeen, so anyway,
I think I would have been there. 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.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It was a small operation. 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.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I really do I think that.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
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,
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,
(23:24):
is what I would say. Anyway, just remembering on that
thirty years ago. Today, Katla did a nice remembrance.
Speaker 11 (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. We spoke with his sister, Kim Goldman.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I don't feel that our family received justice.
Speaker 11 (23:52):
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 3 (24:01):
God, that was good for ratings, so good for ratings.
Speaker 11 (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 11 (24:12):
But the defense team's strategy led jurors to question if
the LPD, an 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 2 (24:28):
I understand it now, I understand you know, all these
year this is uh Nicole Brown's sisters that right here, with.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
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 11 (24:54):
Moments in the trial came when prosecutors had Simpson try
on a bloody glove found at the crime scene and
at a here 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 for years to come.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, where in archive. Where's it being kept? Do you
know where the where the glove is? Hang on, I'm
gonna I'm gonna bing this real quick.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Where is O Jay's glove kept? 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's 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.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He's dead. Gloves were returned to l A. PD believe
that they are either held in archives or auction for charity.
Loves amain part of the Trials historical record, but their
current status is not publicly known.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Those need to be in a museum. Absolutely needs to
be in a museum. Oh it's crazy. So anyway, thirty
years ago today, something big happened. I was selling satellite dishes.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
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 got this this take,
and he listened to Tim and he's got this take.
(27:03):
And you know that they agree on most things, but
the way that they look at it is completely different.
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
(27:23):
you join me Sunday's Sunday afternoon and then on occasion
when I get the phone called it, come in off
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 12 (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 going
to 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 12 (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 because we be toast.
Speaker 12 (28:29):
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 did.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
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 up the asteroid before it gets
near the Moon and Earth in twenty thirty 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 2 (29:21):
There's a moment you thought of science fiction.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
This day.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
God, I'm good. I'm good 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.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Don't want it 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 or toast telling you we are toast.
But you know what's interesting about this is that this
exact theory was discussed.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Just 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 5 (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 5 (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 Armic game plot.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
They determined six months was not enough time to prepare
a spacecraft to blow.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
It up with a nuclear bomb. 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 one of.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
The SpaceX rockets and get it ready to go.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
In case like in the movie Armageddon. I just said
that simulations showed a nuke may not even put a
dent in a large asteroid.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
So this is, you know, encouraging news for and No,
we're toast. 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.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Pell. I just love it when you're in I love
working with you lean and you.
Speaker 3 (32:00):

and I'm gonna look forward to talking again this Sunday.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
You're the best. Thank you job right back at you,
great job.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
You're just You're magical. And uh 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 Maryland 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 sixty on demand Chris Merril.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Even from mo tonight k if I 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 ea 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. Tony's in tonight. Appreciate that.
Any word have we heard? I have not heard anything
about Fush 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 okay.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
In surgery getting you know, more war surgery stuff. You know,
still going through that hoopery. That's remitation for those unfamiliar.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Foush 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.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And it's kind of a miracle that he's that he's
with us. Okay, here it is one month out of
the hospital.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
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 2 (01:56):
Thank you. I cannot wait to come back. Ah he's
the best. What a great dude. I mean he almost
lost his arm, right, Yeah, it was bad, oh.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Man, 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 the burning car because
they think they're gonna get some airtime on the Tim
Conway Junior Show, you know what I mean. They do
it because there's somebody that needs them. 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 the world is full of good people.
It's just that for some reason, the bad people become famous.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I just hate that. But that's the world we're in.
So just so refreshing.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I gotta tell you, God's on a street. The first
time he walks through those doors and it comes back
to work, there's gonna be tears.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
There's gonna be tears, man, There's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Tears, and I I will shed as many as I
can for the man.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm very excited to have him back. Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
In the meantime, 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 at the Tony's
in tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Thank you without the outside the show, right, Yeah, you're
good dude. Oh it's modest, that's great. Nobody can see it.
But he's got a great big smile the room. He's amazing.
He's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Uh. And then I lead and I work together on
Sundays too. Are you in the Sunday or no, you've
got like a you've got shifted around because of the ballgame.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Didn't you. 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 watched Do you watch the game or
you're just kinda wait for turn to go? I don't
watch 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 (03:56):
I have gotten so many, uh cowboy 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 2 (04:13):
In the seventies.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh, it's so funny. I happened across I know, Augus,
the Packers. I watched this this reason 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
(04:36):
you do that? And she said, I thought you'd be supportive.
That was the last time the cowboys were good.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, they're they are the brunt of a lot of jokes. Great.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I love it. I love it so much. I'm glad
that you guys showed up today.
Speaker 5 (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 chair, is 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 (05:10):
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 2 (05:33):
Did you do is download it?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I know it doesn't not like those days when you
went to the record store instead of line.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
But they did. 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 6 (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.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Oh my god, Swift he's.
Speaker 6 (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. Okay, that would be why. Yeah that
sounds fun. Well I'm wondering if that's what Mark and
Mow and Tawalla were must be hit. Yeah, can you
see er at that?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
No, he's a huge Swifties. He's like, I'll wait for
it to come on on, Toby.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
He's afraid of crowds. He's a germophobe. With him, there's
no way, no way.
Speaker 6 (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. What's your reaction right now?
Oh my god? That was actually Mark Ronnert just like him.
That was him.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
So good.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's like our super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
One of Taylor's new songs puts a unique spin on
George Michael's classic hit father Figures.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Oh I've got some of that. You want to hear it? Yes, Okay,
here we go, I 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, you.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Can just download it, you know. I don't hate it.
I don't hate it, but I went.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
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
(08:43):
you're giving 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 2 (08:51):
Well, I mean all her money really comes from the
live shows. And the live shows.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, okay, 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 2 (09:04):
Those YouTubers do great though, I think, and the and.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
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.
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.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The top exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
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.
If you miss 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
(09:57):
Maryland from Okelly and.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You're listening to KF six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I'm Chris Maryland for MO tonight k IF I am
six forty more stimulating talk most back again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Excuse Monday.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Uh, I'll be back on Sunday, Sunday Sunday along with Eileen.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
We're working the Sunday shift together. So let's go be
team WHOA.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Remember you 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?
Speaker 7 (10:27):
That?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Did he? Going away for a while?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
How long and Good Afternoon On with 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.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
This is massive. It was like OJ Big.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
And Good Afternoon On with Johnson and New York were
coming back on the air because the judge has just
sentenced Sean Diddy Colms 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 3 (11:03):
Hold on, I this is where law confuses me. 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.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
What okay?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
What 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. Law confuses me. I
don't have any idea.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
But was acquitted on more serious charges that could have
sent him to prison for life.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Let's get right to our chief and vestment. Also, transportation
for prostitution?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
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 7 (12:15):
Let's get right to our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katski,
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 Katurski used to be their 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 he's spectacular. And I saw him
doing some TV stuff and I told him, uh huh,
I admonished that man.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I said, uh uh, you're not gonna Kotursky us 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):
Uh uh. You gotta hang out to the good ones.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
This was a very long sentencing hearing, with 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. I've I've come to realize things.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
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 8 (13:59):
That record for a lenient sentence of time served was
rejected by the judge Aarun 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. That's not as much as federal prosecutors
(14:21):
here wanted. They wanted eleven years in prison.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Room.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Wow, that's a huge deviation from the request. And that's
like just barely a third. So seems like he kind
of got a light sentence.
Speaker 8 (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. You're not
above it. So anyway, mark your calendars. 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
(15:38):
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 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
(15:59):
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 and I do I do one,
I do a couple of week and Chris on the Air,
(16:51):
by the way on Instagram. So I did this video
and I said, people are upset about bad Bunny. And
I said they're mad because bad bunnies from Puerto Rico.
And many people on the Internet are saying, why don't
they have an American do it? And I know many
of you may be thinking that 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
(17:12):
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. I got so much
hate for that. They were so mad. They were like,
(17:35):
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 me
for not they didn't get that. It was joke right
(17:56):
over their heads. 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 9 (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 in two people who are
in this country illegally, not the super Bowl and nowhere else.
Speaker 10 (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 evidently had a spare seven thousand dollars to buy
tickets to get in.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And also Ice is going to have money to get
in to the super Bowl in order to.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Bust the illegal immigrants who had an extra seven thousand
dollars per ticket to go to the YEP.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
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.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Me that this is the thirty year anniversary of OJ.
But a brief, a brief tour through the history of.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
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 I think you're pretty So take
that for what it's worth. Thirty years ago today, if
you were living in Los Angeles, it was a day
(20:15):
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 verdict came down, and we
were glued to the TV all day long waiting for
(20:38):
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. Then we called all
of our friends because we had memorized their phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So I kind of.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Wish 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
(21:13):
sarcastic seventeen year old, and your seventeen year old are
not real bright anyway, and I was certainly in that category.
I think my sign would have been absurd, right. I
would have been like, go, I don't know, I'm just
(21:33):
making this up off the top of my head. Could
it could suck?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
It?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
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 pulling right now.
I was far more creative when I was seventeen, so anyway,
I think I would have been there. 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.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It was a small operation. 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.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I really do I think that.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
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,
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,
(23:24):
is what I would say. Anyway, just remembering on that
thirty years ago. Today, Katla did a nice remembrance.
Speaker 11 (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. We spoke with his sister, Kim Goldman.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I don't feel that our family received justice.
Speaker 11 (23:52):
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 3 (24:01):
God, that was good for ratings, so good for ratings.
Speaker 11 (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 11 (24:12):
But the defense team's strategy led jurors to question if
the LPD, an 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 2 (24:28):
I understand it now, I understand you know, all these
year this is uh Nicole Brown's sisters that right here, with.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
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 11 (24:54):
Moments in the trial came when prosecutors had Simpson try
on a bloody glove found at the crime scene and
at a here 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 for years to come.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, where in archive. Where's it being kept? Do you
know where the where the glove is? Hang on, I'm
gonna I'm gonna bing this real quick.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Where is O Jay's glove kept? 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's 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.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He's dead. Gloves were returned to l A. PD believe
that they are either held in archives or auction for charity.
Loves amain part of the Trials historical record, but their
current status is not publicly known.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Those need to be in a museum. Absolutely needs to
be in a museum. Oh it's crazy. So anyway, thirty
years ago today, something big happened. I was selling satellite dishes.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
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 got this this take,
and he listened to Tim and he's got this take.
(27:03):
And you know that they agree on most things, but
the way that they look at it is completely different.
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
(27:23):
you join me Sunday's Sunday afternoon and then on occasion
when I get the phone called it, come in off
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 12 (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 going
to 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 12 (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 because we be toast.
Speaker 12 (28:29):
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 did.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
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 up the asteroid before it gets
near the Moon and Earth in twenty thirty 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 2 (29:21):
There's a moment you thought of science fiction.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
This day.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
God, I'm good. I'm good 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.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Don't want it 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 or toast telling you we are toast.
But you know what's interesting about this is that this
exact theory was discussed.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Just 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 5 (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 5 (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 Armic game plot.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
They determined six months was not enough time to prepare
a spacecraft to blow.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
It up with a nuclear bomb. 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 one of.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
The SpaceX rockets and get it ready to go.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
In case like in the movie Armageddon. I just said
that simulations showed a nuke may not even put a
dent in a large asteroid.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
So this is, you know, encouraging news for and No,
we're toast. 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.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Pell. I just love it when you're in I love
working with you lean and you.

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.
