Here's what's a head on wake Up Call.

(03:21):
things that you love about Halloween. Hit us up on

What do you like to do on Halloween? Then at
six oh five, handle on the news, Ali firefighters say
they were ordered to leave a still smoldering brush fire
when it reignited into the Palisades.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Fire five days later. We're going to tell you who
gave the order and why.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A South LA
family is safer after two arson is set there West
Adams home on fire in the middle of the night.
Surveillo's video shows the suspects dousing the house with gasoline
before a massive explosion. The FBI is investigating a second
ICE in shooting in Soco.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
The shooting happened Thursday morning in Ontario. Officials say they
tried conducting a traffic stop on Vineyard Avenue when the
driver reversed his vehicle directly at ICE agents. The driver
reportedly was not the target for ICE agents at the time,
but fearing for their safety, the agents opened fire. The
Ontario Police Department says it responded to a request for
emergency assistance from DHS officers, but were not involved in
(04:23):
the shooting. Recently, ICE officers fired at a man in
South Los Angeles. The man in an agent were hurt,
but both are expected to recover. Tammy trihillo k FI News.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
All Right let's get over to some news this morning.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
The ongoing government shut down is putting real pressure on
millions of Americans, especially families who rely on SNAP, the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program. Joining me now is ABC's Bethany
bron Silva, who's been covering the human toll behind the numbers.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Good morning, Bethany, good morning.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Let's get started with some of the basics. How many
people could be affected if SNAP benefits are disrupted next week.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I mean, we're looking at numbers into the hundreds of thousands.
And you know, even though we don't officially know what's
going to come down as of November first, this is
already causing so much stress and worry and families who
rely on these benefits. Anti hunger organizations like No Kid
Hungry and Feeding America or reporting that they're seeing an
optic and people reaching out in all of their hotlines
(05:24):
and their emails. And it's really because you know, childrens
we're here to talk about.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
Really, is the kids right?
Speaker 8 (05:29):
They're incredibly perceptive. Even before they sort of understand what's happening,
they can send stress in the household, changes in tone
and routines or how meals are handled.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So now I understand you've spoken with some of the
families who rely on this program, and what are they
telling you about the uncertainty that they're feeling right now?
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
I've actually spoken to experts like pediatricians and psychologists who
have spoken to families, and you know, people are worried,
and what they're telling them to sort of script or
tell their kids, and really, we don't want to transfer
any of that stress that adults might be feeling to
the kids is to really keep it. It's okay to
be honest, but you want to keep it simple and calm,
(06:09):
telling kids like things might look different around meal time
right now, but we'll always make sure you have what
you need. For older kids, you can explain that this
isn't the parent's fault. This is a result of a
government shutdown. So the really big goal here is to reassure,
not overwhelm.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
So beyond this sort of initial crisis that we're experiencing
or that they're going to be experiencing right now, what
are the experts saying about the long term effects? Uh,
beefit's are delayed or stopped altogether.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Yeah, so you know food banks there are working overdrive
right now. So you know, it's hard to speak of
the long term effects about hunger, but we can. I
can definitely talk to you about like the long term
effects on a child's mental health. You know, chronic worry
about food can lead to anxiety, sleep issues, or even changes,
you know, extreme changes like hoarding or restricting food. So
(07:01):
if that happens, you need to speak to your child's
pediatrician right away. They connect can connect you with counseling
or additional support, and early intervention here can make a
huge difference. And just to you know, I did speak
to the head of Feeding America and she pointed out
to me that for every meal that they provide, SNAP
provides nine. So if we try to keep it in
that perspective, this really is. It is a huge crisis
(07:25):
that is looming.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I if interviewed local food banks here in the southern
California area and they are talking about dipping into their reserves.
They are asking for the public's help, you know, in
many different ways. And for those of the people out
there who want to help, what is the most effective
way to support families or local food programs right now?
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Yeah, I would say definitely go to the local level churches,
religious organizations, schools. You know, there are lots of local
organizations that are taking not only donations of food, monetary donations.
Those seem to go the fastest. If you're looking for help,
you can text two one one or visit two one
one dot org to connect with local food, housing, and
utility to support. And also the American American Academy of
(08:13):
Pediatrics AAP dot org also lists emergency food resources for
families in need. And you know, it's never a better
time or you know, about to be in November, the
month of Thanksgiving, giving back feeling grateful. So if you
aren't a family who might be experienced experiencing this sort
of looming food and security, then please, you know, donate,
donate your time, do it as a family. It really
(08:34):
is a lifelong you know, lesson and great way to
give back in this much needed moment.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Okay, Bethany, thank you so much for your time this morning,
and happy Halloween.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As
you heard us discussing the federal shutdown is now in
its thirty first day and With the Senate off until Monday,
no action is expected this weekend. The Supplemental Nutrition an
Assistance Program, or SNAP, runs out tomorrow. Republicans want a
short term fix, but Democrats also want to address healthcare
(09:07):
subsidies and Medicaid cuts. House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrey says
Republicans could continue to fund SNAP with contingencies, but refuse.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
For Republicans, from the very beginning of this presidency, cruelty
has been the point.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
House Speaker Mike Johnson says there's no legal mechanism to
turn on the contingency fund. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles
are investigating whether the leaders of the Black Lives Global
Network Foundation misused millions in donations raised after George Floyd's death.
The group denies wrongdoing and says it remains committed to transparency.
(09:46):
Governor Newsom is said to release a report on what
went right and what went wrong during COVID in California.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
The report is said to be about one thousand pages,
and the California Health and Human Services Agency has been
compiling the information for years. Newsom's office says the report
also has input from some quote independent experts. Governor recently
went on a conservative leaning podcast, saying that the report
is filled with opinions from those who quote vehemently disagreed
with him on mask mandates and his stay at home orders.
(10:15):
The report is said to be released sometime next month.

because it offers a special drug treatment program, it could
reduce time office sentence.
Speaker 4 (10:45):

Prince Andrew has been stripped of his titles and kicked
out of his royal residents. He'll now go by Andrew
Mountbatten Windsor after King Charles stripped his brother of all
his time titles over Andrew's tiles ties rather to Jeffrey Epstein.
ABC's James Longman says the scandal has raged for years,
(11:08):
with Virginia Jeffrey alleging Epstein trafficked her for sex with Andrew.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
In a statement her family saying an ordinary American girl
from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince
with her truth and extraordinary courage.

any other time of the year. More cooking, more guests,
and a lot more eyeballs on your walls. Joining us
now is Dean Sharp, the house whisper, to talk about
how colors and design can refresh your home. Good morning, Dean, Heather,
(13:14):
good morning, are you dressed up for Halloween?
Speaker 11 (13:17):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (13:18):
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit are you.
We're gonna follow. We're gonna follow the nieces and our
granddaughter around and Tina and I got the idea. I
guess I can say this because they don't.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
They're not listening, they're not asleep.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Uh so yeah, we just grabbed a couple old T
shirts and then we got two iron on numbers. I'm

Speaker 5 (13:47):
The whole they are you know they are, you know
they are. Oh, we're gonna show up. We're like, what,
We're gonna play ignorant. We're like, what what you stand
next to you?
Speaker 6 (13:55):
What? What are you talking about? Your shirts?
Speaker 8 (13:58):
What?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
That's so fun that I love that? All right, Well,
let's get started. Let's talking about adding color to the world.
What do you think Why do you think color is
such a powerful emotional impact on our homes?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Because it has such a powerful emotional impact on us.
You know, human beings are the only species on this
planet that add color to our world, and we've been
doing it for like sixty thousand years, and so color
is just very important to us. That has cues to
us emotionally, you know, cool color. Colors open up spaces
(14:34):
for us. They make them seem larger. Warm colors clothes
in spaces make them feel more cozy. There's just there's
a massive psychology of color that you know, we don't
have time to go into today, but the point is that,
you know, color changes our world. And when it comes
to like the holidays getting just around the corner now,
I mean they're within reach now right, I mean we're
(14:56):
a day away from November first, So people are thinking
what do I what should I do to the house
to get it ready? And you know, painting is something
that not a lot of people think about in the fall.
But honestly, if you were gonna do one thing that
could make the most impact of refreshing the house before
the holidays start, you know, maybe you get out the
(15:18):
brushes and the rollers and you decide to, you know,
refresh a couple of rooms in the house with some
new paint.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Okay, So if I'm hosting any holiday parties or events
coming up, which room is going to need the most
attention And what's an easy way to kind of spruce
it up a little bit make it feel inviting.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I would say kitchen, family room, and dining room. That's
this is, you know, because this is where the folks
are going to be hanging out. This is where everybody's
going to be kind of gathering and hanging around. And
you know, I'm not talking about doing some radical thing like, oh,
you know, let's take our normally white family room and
paint it purple. That'll get everybody's attention. But if you've
(16:03):
ever thought about, you know, maybe based on the color
of our furniture and some things that are going on
in the fast, maybe a feature wall. I'm a huge,
huge fan of feature walls when it comes to paint.
I don't want you to paint the entire room one
color because it can just become a cave of color
and kind of oppressive. But if you've got otherwise white walls,
(16:26):
how about pick a wall that you know is prominent
in the room and go bold with that wall. You know,
throw a blue up on that wall, throw something up
there that it really makes the room pop and the
contrast between the other walls and that wall.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
It's just a beautiful thing. Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And finally, for anyone who is short on time or budget,
see me raising my hand over here. What is like
a good one day makeover trick that really can give
a wow factor.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Oh one day makeover for trip. Here's the thing, you know,
when it just comes to the family room, how about
take a look at the throw pillows in the family
room and and again, paint paint paint on even the
the the smallest of areas to compliment some of the
(17:20):
furniture accents that you've already got. And you know, we're
talking about a couple of gallons of paint. And you know,
maybe you know, four or five hours of your time
and you can set up your house for the holidays
like you haven't seen it in a long time.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Dean, if I had unlimited funds, I would hire you
and Tina to come over to my house and completely
redo everything. I need it all because you's that expensive.
I need unlimited. I think you're expensive. It's that I
am broke.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Dean Sharp.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (17:52):

giving the news on the weekends on Saturdays at six
and Sunday's at nine.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Dean Sharp, you are the best. Thank you so much.
Thanks Heather, Happy Halloween, Thank you too.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom, the
twenty twenty eight Olympics closing ceremonies may be changed in La.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
The original plan was for an unprecedented dual venue closing ceremonies.
Part would take place at LA Memorial Coliseum and the
other part at SOFI Stadium, known in official Olympic jargon
as the Stadium in Inglewood. The Ly City Council's ad
hoc Committee on the Olympics has approved emotion calling for
the entire closing ceremony to take place only at the coliseum.
Official say, with more events already added to the site,
(18:37):
which by then will have hosted three Olympics, it makes
the most sense to do the whole final shebang there.

But first, Harry Potter fans are in for a treat
this holiday season. As Harry Potter Wizards of Baking returns
for chapter two on Food Network. The Magical Baking Competition
features even more enchanted challenges, stunning edible creations, and plenty
of wizardry in the kitchen. Joining me now are the
show's host, James and Oliver Phelps, the beloved twins who
(21:23):
brought Fred and George Weasley to life.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Good morning you.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Hello, I'm doing well.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I am so thrilled to be talking with you today
because you are coming back for another round of Baking Magic.
So what can fans expect that's new or even more
spellbinding in chapter two?
Speaker 13 (21:45):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So we're very lucky that everyone seems to really enjoy
season one. So yeah, chapter two, the standard takes off
from where it left and dare I say, go even
more so some of the baits are even bigger. We're
on some slightly different sets as well, so it's not
exactly the same. And like I said, the standard is
(22:06):
just incredible this season.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
So the baker's creations on this show are absolutely wild.
Can you talk about what the most jaw dropping dessert
is that you've seen this coming season? Maybe without giving
away too much.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, without giving away too much. I mean, one that
I never thought I'd ever seen in my life was
a life size edible dobby. That would be that'll be
thinks first when it comes to my head, but not
just that, and as I ree in a weird context,
it tasted incredible as well this house elf. So there's
there's lots of elements will go into making these huge showpiece.
(22:43):
Obviously they need to look great, but also they need
to taste good as well. So that's where the judges
chef Carla Hall and Joseie fusif they really know what
they're talking about with that.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
So that always amazes me with these baking shows, how
they can create what this edible art, but also make
it taste good. Sometimes I'm like, wait a minute, does
that foot that you just made, or purse or whatever
really tastes good? But I believe you if you say
it does. So you both have said this show captured.
(23:14):
Oh go ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I was going to say, well a lessons. It is
a baking competition, so it does need to taste good,
and they're very they're very hot on if it doesn't.
But the problem is when you've got at the best
in the world doing it, everything tastes really good.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
That makes it even harder, I can imagine.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
So tell me a little bit more about how baking
and storytelling really come together in this show.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
So yeah, So each each episode is based on a
set from the original Harry Potter series, so like the
opening episode which comes out on Sunday on Food Network.
So they we have eighteens and we start off where
the last season finished in the Great Hall, and these
(24:02):
eight teams, they're sourced into houses and they have to
basically compete against the other. So you've got like say
two people are in Gryffindoor House or two teams in
Gryffindor House, and the two teams compete directly against each
other as to who's going to go through to the
next the next round. So it's it's there's a competitive
side of it as well, and they're using their their
(24:24):
pottern knowledge, their information, their imagination more importantly, and their
their their talents as well.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Now you've worked with some amazing guest judges and returning
Hogwarts alums this season. Any behind the scenes moments or
mischief that you can share with us, I don't.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Know about mischief, but it was it was funny being
like Devin Murray, for example, who played Who's played Shames
in the movies. He came back, He came back for
an episode to help you a guest judge, and he
was staying to me, is James, this is the first
time I've been back to the studios in fifteen years,
and he's having a big data boom moment. And I
(25:04):
can relate to him because every so often, like I'll
be walking down a soundstage and then have flashbacks to
where I was twenty years ago when we were filming
some of the films. So he said it was great
nostalgia for him, and he got to have a nice
lot of cake as well whilst he was there.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Well, I know, this is such a special show for
my daughter and I. We're big Harry Potter fans. She's
a hufflepuff, I'm a ravenclaw, and this is one of
the shows that we can watch together and we love
it so much. So, James and Oliver, thank you so
much for your time this morning. You guys can catch

YouTube TV rather and turned into ESPN this morning, you
may have been disappointed.
Speaker 14 (26:12):
Why Yeah, well you wanted those scores and guess what
you're not going to get them. You're not gonna get
ESPN or ABC channels, those channels and more. They've been
blacked out, Heather, after YouTube TV and Disney failed to
strike a new licensing deal that the old one expired
last night, and YouTube TV is accusing Disney of using
blackout threats to force higher prices while pledging a twenty
eight dollars credit to subscribers if this outage does persist.
(26:34):
And the standoff follows a month of tense negotiations and
comes amid a broader industry battle over streaming costs and
market share.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
So we've got another recall from Tesla and it's having
some more issues with the cyber truck.
Speaker 14 (26:47):
Yeah, that's cyber truck, and not only is it ugly, right,
Tesla's cyber truck is being recalled for the tenth time
in less than two years. It's the latest recall and
it's more than six thousand of them due to a
potential issue with the installation of an offered light bar
accessory that could detach and increase the risk of a collision. Well,
the cyber truck's been a sales disappointment, with the cyber
(27:08):
truck model S model X combined accounting for just over
three percent of Tesla's global deliveries last quarter. So nothing
but trouble from this cyber truck.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh man, it is a mess, isn't it. I mean,
but people love their cyber trucks. I think they're just
going to keep driving them into their Yeah, they just
love attention.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
I love what it is. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
So when I was little, I used to collect pennies
with my grandma. But apparently pennies are no longer being produced.
What's going on there?
Speaker 14 (27:34):
Yeah, you know, give a penny, take a penny. The
little jars in front of cash register as well. Some
McDonald's customers now paying cash, they're gonna have to pay
a little more or a little less for their meal.
That's because again, pennies are no longer in production. The
federal government stopped making new one cent coins this year
because it costs more than a cent to make one.
So now some areas are seeing pennies shortages, and McDonald's
(27:56):
is responding with a plan to round up or round
down to the nearest nickel.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
All right, So lastly, here, if everyone's in need of
a last minute costume for Halloween, what can they do?
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Yeah, well, if you're like me, you wait till last minute.
Speaker 14 (28:10):
Right, So, good news, Heather, Spirit Halloween will be open
today all day and it will stay open all weekend
as the Halloween festivities are expected to run all the
way through Sunday this year. So to help celebrate Halloween

Thank you so much for your time this morning. Happy Halloween,
Happy Halloween.

no shortage of great new releases to dive into. Emma

emotional with Sorry Baby, and Amy Pohler serving up a
little bit of comfort and comedy on her new podcast
Good Hang. Joining me with the latest and pop culture
picks is ABC's Will Gans.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Good Morning, Will.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
Hey, Good morning. I hear you've got quite the Halloween
costume going on. I'm killing I.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Am never one to turn away an opportunity to dress up.
Even though I sit in a room by myself with
no windows, no.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
One sees me, I'm dressed as Jonathan Bailey from the
Jurassic World movie this summer.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
But the difference is that people are definitely gonna see
me today.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
So well, well, I'll just have to take some pictures,
take some selfies, and I'll put it up on social media.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Here you go.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I'm going to go on your Instagram and look at
your costume later on.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
And I'll return the favor.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
I can't wait to see awesome.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Okay, So let's talk about one of my favorite subjects,
which is entertainment news. Let's get started with Bougonia. There
was a lot of mixed reviews about this film, but
Emma Stone is already back in awards contention for it.
What makes this project stand out as an Oscar season favorite?
Speaker 9 (31:34):
I mean, first of all, it's her.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
So this is the youngest person to ever win the
Best Actress Academy Award twice, and she's teaming up with
your Ghostlanthemos, which is the director that she worked with
in Poor Things So and it's similar in I guess
tone maybe or style to that movie.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Like it's unsettling, it's weird.
Speaker 11 (31:56):
It's not one that I would go see with my parents,
but it's one that I saw and I can't stop
thinking about because you know it is.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
The performances first of all from Emma Stone and Jesse
Plummins are fantastic.
Speaker 11 (32:09):
And then you know, the last like fifteen minutes of
the movie really like take you to a place that
you don't think that you're going.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
So to remind anyone who isn't familiar with what Bougonia is,
this is the movie that's about two guys who are
convinced that the.
Speaker 11 (32:27):
Biomedical CEO who lives in their city is an alien,
and so they kidnap her and plan to convince her
to admit that she's an alien, and that happens within
the first you know, five minutes of the movie.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
So I'm not giving too much away.
Speaker 11 (32:41):
There, but yeah, it's it's crazy it you know, the
premise is crazy.
Speaker 9 (32:46):
The where it goes is even crazier.
Speaker 11 (32:48):
So if you're into those sort of really stylistic, wacko
sort of movies with really great scripts and acting and
directing and all of those things, Bougonias in theaters this weekend.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Okay, and sorry baby seems to be striking an emotional
chord with audiences.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
What's the story behind that?
Speaker 11 (33:05):
Okay, So this is from writer, director, and star Eva
Victor and she I remember like hearing about this movie
over the summer. Everyone was like, oh my god, this
movie so great. It did really well at a lot
of the film festivals, and then was you know, had
a quiet release in theaters. But it's now on HBO
Max and it's called Sorry Baby, and it's about this
woman and she is in academia.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
She lives alone, and pretty much.
Speaker 11 (33:28):
From the jump, you know that something really bad has
happened to her, but you don't know what it is.
But the point of the movie is sort of that
like life continues even when you're dealing with, you know,
something horrible that's happened to you. So the movie starts
with her friend from New York coming to visit her
and telling her, Hey, guess what, I'm pregnant. And so
it's about their friendship and the way that this this
woman you know, navigates like life post you know, a
(33:52):
terrible thing, and she's amazing in it, and it's just
it's emotional, it's funny, it's it's it's really really like
a lovely film that again I really like, I haven't
stopped thinking about it since I watched it, and it's
you know, free for anyone who has HBO.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Max okay, and really quickly before I let you go,
one of my favorite things to do right now is
watch Amy Poehler's Good Hanging Podcast. I know that sounds
crazy because most podcasts we listen to right but hers
is like it's like a talk show exactly.
Speaker 11 (34:24):
And the reason I wanted to include it this week
is because my first two recommendations are a little heavy.
So the idea behind this podcast, as you know, is
that Amy will invite a guest on, but before they
come on, she talks good about them behind their back,
with some of their best friends or their coworkers or whatever.
And then when they're there, she you know, catches up
with them and asks them what they're doing that makes
(34:45):
them laugh or smile or how they stay happy in
such a tough time.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
And it's doing incredibly well.
Speaker 11 (34:52):
I mean, like some episodes four million watches on Spotify,
which is like, you know, as much as Joe Rogan
and you know, so yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
It's it's starting to really take off. And I don't
have to sell it to you.
Speaker 11 (35:06):
I know that you love it already, So yeah, good
Hang with Amy Poehler and and you can watch it
or you can listen to it like you would a
traditional And you know, I'm going.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
To go out on a limb here and say, because
you know, was it the Emmys that just added a
podcast category?
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Was it the Golden Globes one of them did, Yes,
the Globe.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
I think, yeah, I'm going to go out on a
limb here and say, I think her show will probably
likely get nominated for a Globe.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
You're calling it early, and I agree with you.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
It's just she is so good at it, and it's
like yeah, and they also don't shy away from some
of the heavier topics like aging and you know, friendships
and things like like it's it.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
Checks a lot of boxes. I just love it. Every
time I listen to it, I.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
Do too well.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
For the record, my podcast also gets four million listens
every week. So me and Amy per go well, Danz,
thank you so much. Happy Halloween, enjoy your day.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Thank you you too. Tact to you.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police,
shriff's deputies and CHP officers will be on the lookout
for anyone who drives while drinking or taking other intoxicants
this Halloween night, They say, with kids out trigger treating,
the need for safety is paramount, so be careful out
there and escaping a zombie apocalypse is about where you're
(36:22):
escaping from.
Speaker 13 (36:23):
A ranking of major cities puts LA as the worst
place to survive a zombie uprisings. Course, we're made using
road conditions, population density, car ownership, and other factors. Fort Worth, Texas,
came in first for zombie survivability because of smooth roads
and easy rural access, followed by San Diego because of
car ownership and low population density. LA's crappy roads and
(36:43):
dense population are why it came in last, followed by
San Francisco in New York. The company that put out
the ranking says a zombie pak is unlikely, but it's
food for thought for people trying to leave a city
because of a real world emergency.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Michael Krozier KFI News.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Alrighty, all morning long, we've been taking years talkbacks. We
