flight of the day was fifty nine seconds, and that
was a Wilber flight, and there was a photograph at

Right, today is the fourth day of Honkikah. And I'm

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Looks like an elf hat.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
It does look like an elf hat.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's a yamica with a little thing on it and
the other thing is and I wore this this morning
as I got on the air, as I started talking
to speaking with Anne.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Is my Santa clap.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Cap oh loo Santa hat?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And it says what oi oi? Yeah? Very strong?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Okay, I'm being made a lot of fun of the
Jewish family here. Did I tell you that Lindsay wanted
to convert when you first got together, Yes, yeah, and
you said no, you wouldn't let her. I wouldn't let
her because I've already been married to a Jewish woman.
I don't want to do that again. Know I've had
(03:00):
enough of that, right, all right? Fair enough?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Good morning Amy, Good morning Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh and there is Ocona. Both of you are in
red today. It's Christmas Christmas, well not yet, but red
and green red, big red guy. Yeah to red. So
you're a Kansas City Chiefs fan. Fair enough? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh, talking about fans.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
There's an La Dodgers what hoodie with will yes under
it inside of it?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Pardon?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I was lazy this morning and cold, so it's like
I'm gonna wear a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Okay, well, yeah, you know, very hoodie like. And then Amy,
I just said hello and good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh and you're wearing a park it's cold, huh? Freezing
in the studio.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Foggy, foggy and freezing in the studio.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yes, yes, And Neil is not here today.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He is gone all week and coming up next week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I will be here. Neil will be here Monday Tuesday. Correct,
let me get this right.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
No, he will not. Okay, he is not. So I'm
by myself again. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because he's hosting
Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Okay, but what happens with Monday and Tuesday? So low again, Okay,
it's just Amy and me. Okay, fair enough, we've got
you know. I tried every day. I try to stay
away from Trump News. I try as hard as I can.
You can't, you absolutely can't. So we're gonna do it
(04:38):
as little as possible. We have some Republican news, straight
out Republican medical news with Jim McKinney coming in at
eight thirty, and a story about artificial Christmas trees that
I'm be doing later on and that's at eight twenty
because I have two artificial trees at home. I have
(05:00):
one traditional Christmas tree, artificial and one which I call
the Honka bush, also artificial and death.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
There are really good reasons to buy artificial trees.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
They used to be a lot more expensive than traditional trees.
I mean, artificial trees used to cost so much more
than fresh cut real trees that have died instantly when
you cut them, and I tell you it's gone the
other way around. Amy, you were talking about artificial trees.
(05:35):
Do you have a real artificial tree or you have
one at.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
All, I didn't get one this year, which is like
the first time in forever. So I do have a
Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but otherwise I am a real
Christmas tree person.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And the argument though is number one, they are insanely expensive.
They have gotten so much more expensive than even real trees.
So if you're looking at money, really you're better off
with artificial tree. And then the hassle factor of a
real tree, I mean today, so good, yeah, so well.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You are fine.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So you put a fake tree and you put one
of those air freshener things with the pine smell into
the wall and you're done. Okay, finished, not the same
stop it and then you have and then you have
it's already pre lit. You don't put those lights, you know,
the big gulping, massive lights with all the colors on them.
(06:30):
It looks so just horrible, you know, so dated. So
nineteen fifties. Okay, all right, a tree. Let me go
around the circle again.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Cono, do you have a tree, real tree, real tree?
All right? Will do you have a tree? Little baby? Artificial?
Okay and real tree? Right, we have one of each.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
We got the artificial in the family room and then
we got a nice, big, real one in the living room.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
How much was that? And how tall is it?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
It's nine feet.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, now we're talking money and about fifty two hundred
and fifty dollars to throw to throw away. Let me
go back to the wall mounted air freshener. Two hundred
and fifty dollars and it's gone. So Lindsay found a
nine foot tree artificial tree which is on knockout for
(07:24):
three hundred bucks. The one they sell at Costco for
eight hundred bucks.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
No, it it's tree.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You can put them up earlier too. Yeah, well, it
takes seconds to put them up and then you have
to store.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
You're not going to put a real tree up, you know,
the day Thanksgiving, because it'll be dead by Christmas.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
That's true. And that's what everybody does.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You put up a tree for Thanksgiving, and you have
the tree, and you get presence underneath there and you
do all that goamn stuff that you people do over there. Okay, guys,
you're ready to do it. It is time for handle
on the news, Amy and Me lead story. Well, Nick Reiner,
(08:02):
Rob and Michelle's son has been charged with murder and
their deaths.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We're getting some additional information.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They were at a party, all of them were at
a party the night before at Conan O'Brien's house, and
it looked like there was some kind of a fight,
an altercation, not physical, between a Rob Reiner and his son,
and it's obviously i'll tell you the defense. So he
was charged with first degree murder and if convicted, which
(08:28):
I don't see how he's not going to be, it's
either life imprisonment without possibility of parole LWOP, or it's
the death penalty, which is not going to be instituted.
And we're finding, you know, just the end. Nick Reiner
was described as being disheveled and sort of spacey and
(08:49):
really not knowing where he was and having weird conversations
with people. So his defense is going to be one
of insanity, that he was not in his right mind.
And another story in a killing, horrific.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Murder Times fifteen, the surviving suspected shooter in that mass
shooting at Bandai Beach in Sydney, Australia has been charged
with murder, terrorism and other charges I think fifty nine
charges in all against Navid Akram. The shooting at a
beachside celebration on Sunday. Fifteen people dead, including a ten
(09:28):
year old girl and a Holocaust survivor who is the
grandfather of eleven.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Can you imagine surviving the Holocaust and getting getting killed
on the beach?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Crazy?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Unfortunately, and there is no death penalty in Australia. Very
very few countries have the death penalty, certainly not in
the industrialized world. South Africa may still have it, but
the United States is alone in the death penalty. So
it's going to be l watt for them. He'll be
this gentleman will be in jail for the rest of
(10:03):
his life.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
New video still no face. The Providence, Rhode Island Police
Department has released a new video of what they are
calling the person of interest in the Brown University shooting
and is asking the public to really pay attention to
the shooter's posture, his gait, his body language in hopes
that somebody is going to recognize him because they still
(10:25):
don't have a picture of his face. The newly released
footage is a video from about two hours before the shooting.
The police chief said it shows the guy casing the area,
which he says is what criminals do. They've been looking
for this guy since Sunday when somebody dressed in all
black with a face mask on shot and killed at
(10:46):
least two people in wounded nine others at Brown University
as students were preparing for final exams.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, without a tip, I think this case is going
to be very difficult to solve, you know, arresting someone
because of.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Gate, although it has been used.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Gate has been introduced in court and has been admitted
into evidence.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Well, I wouldn't you think too, though. I mean, if
they when they find the guy, there are survivors who
probably saw him too.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Okay, now what do they see? They saw a guy
with a mask. Let's say they saw a guy who
is stocky and they only saw his eyes. He had
a cap mask on and the only is his eyes.
That's hard to identify. Even if you can identify him
where there's no issue, the defense is pretty strong.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
And do you have this all you have?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So I think it's going to be a tip that's
somehow going to connect him to this.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Please do the deal with Netflix. That is what Warner
Brothers Discovery is asking of its shareholders. It does not
want to do the deal, apparently with paramount Warner Brothers
Discovery is saying that Netflix is a better deal for shareholders,
also said it was a better deal for customers. The
decision ultimately rests with the shareholders. Some of them have
(12:09):
already said that they will reject the company's advice and
they want their shares to be sold to Pair.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
This is the board.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
The board recommended that the next Netflix deal goes through
Paramounts deal is not as good and it is who votes.
It's the number of shares that the shareholders that if
it votes a majority, then you know the sale goes
through to Netflix or to Paramount or doesn't go through
(12:36):
at all, probably going to be Netflix.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I think the president's chief of staff had a little
sit down with Vanity Fair. Apparently it was like eleven
different interviews. Now the articles are out, and well, the
White House isn't happy about it. The Susie Wilds is
the president's chief of staff. She criticized Attorney General Pam
Bondi for how she handled the Jeffrey Epstein case. Basically
(13:03):
said she whiffed it. I think for the words that
she said. She also described the president as someone who
has an alcoholics personality. If she says what she means
by that, is she doesn't think or he doesn't think,
there's anything he can't do, And the White House is
firing back saying a lot of this stuff was taken
(13:23):
out of context. I mean she obviously said it because
they recorded it, but while it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Could be it could be taken out of context. Yeah,
I think the I think the comment on the President
is I think that the least it has a least
what's the word I'm looking for, has least a danger
to it, if you will.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I think he even came out and said.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, at least attack. First of all, he has the
personality of an alcoholic. He is not he doesn't touch alcohol,
and so it's what's the personality. I mean he described
it because some alcoholics do think they can do whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Now, the Pam BONDI comment that she whiffed did that's.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
A little hard, a little bit harder to uh, to
attack itself or to defend. And then my favorite one
is Jay d Vance that he is a conspiracy conspiracist
and he said, well, maybe I am a conspiracist, but
they're true.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Okay, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
In any case, I think the President was the least
damaged and the other ones were actually hit and Susie
Wilde is interesting lady. She does not she's behind the scenes,
behind the scenes. I don't know how she ever allowed
an interview with Vanity fair Well.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
And she apparently did like eleven interviews. The White House
had her come to the White House and she did
like eleven different sitdowns, and that some of them were
up to an hour each. So it is really interesting
to hear. I would love to hear everything kind of
just played through to see if they really did take
it out of context.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And that's a there's probably a whole lot of language.
I'll bet you a lot of it was taken out
of context, because that's what these news media, the news
media does when they sit down for these.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Interview there is editing. You can't run.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
How do you do an article of nineteen hours of interviews?
And when I was on sixty minutes and I was
on for three minutes, maybe they recorded two three hours
of conversation and they took two three minutes. Now I
was treated very well, thank goodness, But you can't have
(15:30):
attack pieces.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Trump has something to say, we just don't know what
it is. He's announced plans to hold a White House
address tonight. He posted on truth social saying, my fellow Americans,
I will be giving and address to the nation tomorrow night,
addressed to the nation, all in caps for whatever reason,
live from the White House, at nine pm Eastern Standard time.
(15:54):
I look forward to seeing you. Then, he says, it's
been a great year for our country and the best
is yet to come again in all caps.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Now, I have a question.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It doesn't matter politically where you sit, whether you're a
trumpet or an anti trumpist. No one is going to
argue that it's not going to be entertaining. There is
no issue. We're going to enjoy it enormously and no
doubt talk about it tomorrow, all right.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
FIFA is making the World Cup more affordable for a
few anyway, So apparently there has been a huge uproar
because FIFA World Cup ticket prices have skyrocketed. So in
response to that backlash, FIFA says it's going to start
offering one thousand tickets per game. There'll be sixty dollars
(16:41):
each for supporters of the two participating teams.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What does that mean supporters?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I don't know. Does it mean you have to come
from that country or is it just.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I'm sure they defined it, but the sixty dollars tickets
is one point six percent of the number of people
that go to these places. You know, FIFA, to be
head of FIFA or on the board of FIFA is
one of the two great jobs on the planet, the
other one.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Being on the World Olympic Committee, on the International Olympic Committee.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Because as you go around the world and decide which
city is going to host the next in this case,
the CDs that are going to host the World Cup,
do you think that people who go to those countries
fly coach, I don't think so. I think they are
(17:34):
fetead like you cannot believe. And so FIFA, it's like
the super Bowl. You know, we talk about tickets available
to the Super Bowl. Either they're nine thousand dollars each
or you can buy them at face value, and they
sell three of those for the Super Bowl. So these
are sporting events that people are crazy. The answers don't
(17:57):
go to them, watch them on TV.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Time to sit and think at home. The second doctor
who played a role in providing ketamine to Matthew Perry
weeks before he overdosed his home in Pacific Palisades has
been sentenced to eight months of house arrest. He was
sentenced yesterday by federal judge. Mark Chavez is a former doctor.
He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute
(18:24):
ketamine last October. He also acknowledged that he and the
other doctor involved, salvad Or Placentia, colluded to deceive medical
ketamine suppliers and illegally distribute the drug to Perry for profit.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Now, the question is and the short and the court
wrote about this, both of them were guilty of sin.
The difference is one cooperated, one did not, and you've
gotten the doctor Mark Chavez immediately gave up his license
and immediately pled guilty and immediately said Miakolpa.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
And doctor Placentia not so much.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I don't think he flipped. He just said, okay, okay,
sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I'll give up my license. And that's exactly what they
were moving for.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Target and Walmart getting a good scolding. The US FDA
has sent warning letters stern warning letters to Walmart, Target
and other retail giants after its investigations found that they
have still been selling the baby formula that's been recalled.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
They also warned Kroger and Albertson's about their continued sales
of Buy Heart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula, which has been
linked to at least fifty one cases of suspected or
confirmed infant botulism in nineteen States.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, really, really tough.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
It was a lot of heart issues with those kids,
which is why they changed the name of the company
from buy Heart to No Heart Whole Nutrition Instant Formula.
I know, I know kids, I know infants getting Batchelism
is not that funny.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I think it is, But then you know, I live
in a different world than a lot of people do.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Not a Nobody Anymore, a posthumous memoir by one of
Jeffrey Epstein's best known accusers, Virginia Geffrey, has sold a
million copies worldwide in the last two months. The book
is now in its tenth printing after an initial run
of just seventy thousand copies. It's called Nobody's Girl. Jeffrey
died by suicide back in April. She was forty one.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
That book is on my coffee table.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Have you read it yet?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
No? And I didn't buy it either.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
As Lindsay read it yet, I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
She did or not.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I mean originally, I mean she is accused Jeffrey Goofrey
I pronounced names is accused of having sex with a
lot of people and she admits, which is why. Originally
she was going to title the book Everybody's Girl, but
it didn't work out that way. Okay, another one. Uh yeah,
(21:10):
we're on a roll anyway, Amy Maui News.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yes, there's an airbnb ban in Paradise. Mayor of Maui
Richard Bison Bisson has signed a version of a bill
into law that we'll phase out seven thousand short term
vacation rentals. The bill was originally proposed a while ago.
It took about nineteen months to get the final version,
(21:38):
but the amended version requires apartment zoned short term rental
units to be phased out by January first, twenty twenty
nine in West Maui and January first, twenty thirty one
for the rest of the county, most of which is
in South Maui.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, Baye Maui isn't alone.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
There are a lot of municipalities that are either kirk
or just stopping short term rentals because it takes it
takes housing out of the market. It just increases housing
tremendously and the landlord just make a pile of money.
I mean, these short term rentals go for hundreds of
dollars a night.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
And it also affects the hotels, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah, I would imagine it sure does.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
TikTok trick gets tripped up, so car makers Hyundai and
Kia have to offer free repairs to millions of models
of their cars under a settlement was announced yesterday by
Minnesota's attorney general, who led the effort by dozens of states,
including California that they argued that the vehicles were not
equipped with the proper anti theft technology and it all
(22:48):
stems from the thefts of Hyundai's and Kia's soaring because
starting in twenty twenty one, video is posted on TikTok
and other social media demonstrated how someone could steal those
cars with just a screwdriver and a USB cable.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
When is the last time you heard on a recall
that wasn't paid for by the manufacturer?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I think they all are right, correct?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Maybe Takata was Takana.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Pay back toa I know, even Takata has to when
they do the airbags. I know, And the settlement also
calls for those bumper stickers that say steal this car
to be removed.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Blocked. President Trump has ordered a total and complete blockade
of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela. This
is rampan up pressure on the country's authoritarian leader, Nicholas Maduro.
Last week, US forces seized that oil tanker. It had
about two million gallons of oil on it. Apparently, the
Venezuelan government has accused the US of blatant theft and
(23:52):
said the seizure was an act of international piracy. But
Trump says that Venezuela was using the oil to fund
rug trafficking and other crimes, and says we'll escalate the
military build up. And there's a lot of ships out
in the Caribbean now US.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Shaw and whether whether it funds drug trafficking or not,
these are sanctioned.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
This is sanctioned oil.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
This is in violation of the sanctions that are up
there and the you know, I think the United Nations
also was part of the decision to sanction. So, you know,
Maduro can babble all he wants, but and Trump, and
this has been going on for years and years under Biden,
under Obama, and Trump is the only one that has
the balls to actually do this. So I'm going to
(24:38):
give him credit on that one. Good for him.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I'm wondering, what, No, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I was going to say. I'm wondering if the White
House Address is going to deal with this. He says,
it's about that after a year in office. The country
is great and it's going to be greater.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
But I wonder I think it will.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I think it's going to go down through Look what
I have done to bring America back to its greatness.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You'll hear a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And I think you'll hear prices have been lowered, the
economy is exploding, the number of jobs have increased by
the millions. I think you're going to hear a lot
of that, a lot of self serving, self aggrandizing, because
he never does that. So he's going to go off
script on this one.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
He says, people love it when he goes off script.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, did you hear that.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I'm not even using my teleprompter and people.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, and his advisors are reeling.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
They put their hands.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
On their face, they put both palms their faces and
shake their heads.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
We've got a record breaker near lax and Amazon warehouse
near the gates of Los Angeles International Airport has sold
for a record price, apparently because logistics centers near transportation
hubs are in big demand. Let's see Morgan Stanley recently
paid two hundred eleven million dollars for the distribution center,
(26:00):
the biggest industrial real estate deal in Greater Los Angeles
this year.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, it's having more and more impact. Why because it's
Internet sales, that's the bottom line. And of course the
Amazon is growing and pretty dramatically. All right, I think
we can do one more.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
All right, Stern sticking around on Sirious Hower. Stern will
rain for three more years at Serious he'll be reigning
because he's a self proclaimed king of all media.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Pretty close.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, new three year deal after lengthy negotiations. Says he's
happy to announce that he's figured a way to have
it all more free time and continuing to be on
the radio.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And now he is getting one hundred million dollars a year.
There aren't too many people in the media that make
that much money.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Wow, and Serious.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
You know, when he was syndicated and made buckets of money,
he was only on I think sixty stations and it
was just an enormous amount of money.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Do you know that handle on the law.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I'm going to brag here. I'm on three hundred n
eighty stations around the country.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
My mommy listens to you.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
That's that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And of those three hundred and eighty stations, the vast,
vast majority are in towns that the entire population of
the town much less listeners, is fewer than the staff
here a KFI. I cannot tell you how many of
those stations are in towns. They have twenty or fewer
(27:33):
people living in the town. And Howard Stern has the
big stations. If you have the number one station in
about ten markets, you're reaching ninety five percent of the country.
If you have the only talk show in you know,
Buffalo as Wyoming, just it doesn't really work very well.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Do you know, Beside from Los Angeles, what's what's.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
My other really big one? My other big one is Atlanta.
Those are my two big big stations. The rest of
them are just just ridiculous. You can look at an
affiliate list and it is it's hugely entertaining on the show.
All right, Okay, I'm not gonna brag because it's actually embarrassing.
(28:19):
Oh okay, we are done, guys with the news. We

Blue and white? Blue and white.
Speaker 2 (00:20):

Do you just know that?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah? Nineteen oh three? Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And who was the first person to actually fly that airplane?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Was it wilbur was at Orville?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I don't know it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Was Orville.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Was although the longest flight of the day, the longest
flight of the day was fifty nine seconds, and that
was a Wilber flight, and there was a photograph at
that moment that exists, just extraordinary photograph. And then the
right flyer is in the Smithsonian, I mean the original
(01:49):
right flyer. You can see it. You look at that.
That was the first powered flight on the planet.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Okay, enough of that. A little bit of history decided
to throw that at you.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It's also what teen fifteen sixteen seven, fourth day of Honkah?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Right, today is the fourth day of Honkikah. And I'm
lighting my Honica cameras and I don't know if we
can Maybe I'll post this because Lindsay gave me my mayamica.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Looks like an elf hat.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
It does look like an elf hat.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's a yamica with a little thing on it and
the other thing is and I wore this this morning
as I got on the air, as I started talking
to speaking with Anne.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Is my Santa clap.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Cap oh loo Santa hat?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And it says what oi oi? Yeah? Very strong?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Okay, I'm being made a lot of fun of the
Jewish family here. Did I tell you that Lindsay wanted
to convert when you first got together, Yes, yeah, and
you said no, you wouldn't let her. I wouldn't let
her because I've already been married to a Jewish woman.
I don't want to do that again. Know I've had
(03:00):
enough of that, right, all right? Fair enough?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Good morning Amy, Good morning Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh and there is Ocona. Both of you are in
red today. It's Christmas Christmas, well not yet, but red
and green red, big red guy. Yeah to red. So
you're a Kansas City Chiefs fan. Fair enough? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh, talking about fans.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
There's an La Dodgers what hoodie with will yes under
it inside of it?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Pardon?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I was lazy this morning and cold, so it's like
I'm gonna wear a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Okay, well, yeah, you know, very hoodie like. And then Amy,
I just said hello and good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh and you're wearing a park it's cold, huh? Freezing
in the studio.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Foggy, foggy and freezing in the studio.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yes, yes, And Neil is not here today.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He is gone all week and coming up next week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I will be here. Neil will be here Monday Tuesday. Correct,
let me get this right.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
No, he will not. Okay, he is not. So I'm
by myself again. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because he's hosting
Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Okay, but what happens with Monday and Tuesday? So low again, Okay,
it's just Amy and me. Okay, fair enough, we've got
you know. I tried every day. I try to stay
away from Trump News. I try as hard as I can.
You can't, you absolutely can't. So we're gonna do it
(04:38):
as little as possible. We have some Republican news, straight
out Republican medical news with Jim McKinney coming in at
eight thirty, and a story about artificial Christmas trees that
I'm be doing later on and that's at eight twenty
because I have two artificial trees at home. I have
(05:00):
one traditional Christmas tree, artificial and one which I call
the Honka bush, also artificial and death.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
There are really good reasons to buy artificial trees.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
They used to be a lot more expensive than traditional trees.
I mean, artificial trees used to cost so much more
than fresh cut real trees that have died instantly when
you cut them, and I tell you it's gone the
other way around. Amy, you were talking about artificial trees.
(05:35):
Do you have a real artificial tree or you have
one at.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
All, I didn't get one this year, which is like
the first time in forever. So I do have a
Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but otherwise I am a real
Christmas tree person.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And the argument though is number one, they are insanely expensive.
They have gotten so much more expensive than even real trees.
So if you're looking at money, really you're better off
with artificial tree. And then the hassle factor of a
real tree, I mean today, so good, yeah, so well.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You are fine.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So you put a fake tree and you put one
of those air freshener things with the pine smell into
the wall and you're done. Okay, finished, not the same
stop it and then you have and then you have
it's already pre lit. You don't put those lights, you know,
the big gulping, massive lights with all the colors on them.
(06:30):
It looks so just horrible, you know, so dated. So
nineteen fifties. Okay, all right, a tree. Let me go
around the circle again.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Cono, do you have a tree, real tree, real tree?
All right? Will do you have a tree? Little baby? Artificial?
Okay and real tree? Right, we have one of each.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
We got the artificial in the family room and then
we got a nice, big, real one in the living room.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
How much was that? And how tall is it?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
It's nine feet.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, now we're talking money and about fifty two hundred
and fifty dollars to throw to throw away. Let me
go back to the wall mounted air freshener. Two hundred
and fifty dollars and it's gone. So Lindsay found a
nine foot tree artificial tree which is on knockout for
(07:24):
three hundred bucks. The one they sell at Costco for
eight hundred bucks.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
No, it it's tree.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You can put them up earlier too. Yeah, well, it
takes seconds to put them up and then you have
to store.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
You're not going to put a real tree up, you know,
the day Thanksgiving, because it'll be dead by Christmas.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
That's true. And that's what everybody does.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You put up a tree for Thanksgiving, and you have
the tree, and you get presence underneath there and you
do all that goamn stuff that you people do over there. Okay, guys,
you're ready to do it. It is time for handle
on the news, Amy and Me lead story. Well, Nick Reiner,
(08:02):
Rob and Michelle's son has been charged with murder and
their deaths.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We're getting some additional information.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They were at a party, all of them were at
a party the night before at Conan O'Brien's house, and
it looked like there was some kind of a fight,
an altercation, not physical, between a Rob Reiner and his son,
and it's obviously i'll tell you the defense. So he
was charged with first degree murder and if convicted, which
(08:28):
I don't see how he's not going to be, it's
either life imprisonment without possibility of parole LWOP, or it's
the death penalty, which is not going to be instituted.
And we're finding, you know, just the end. Nick Reiner
was described as being disheveled and sort of spacey and
(08:49):
really not knowing where he was and having weird conversations
with people. So his defense is going to be one
of insanity, that he was not in his right mind.
And another story in a killing, horrific.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Murder Times fifteen, the surviving suspected shooter in that mass
shooting at Bandai Beach in Sydney, Australia has been charged
with murder, terrorism and other charges I think fifty nine
charges in all against Navid Akram. The shooting at a
beachside celebration on Sunday. Fifteen people dead, including a ten
(09:28):
year old girl and a Holocaust survivor who is the
grandfather of eleven.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Can you imagine surviving the Holocaust and getting getting killed
on the beach?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Crazy?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Unfortunately, and there is no death penalty in Australia. Very
very few countries have the death penalty, certainly not in
the industrialized world. South Africa may still have it, but
the United States is alone in the death penalty. So
it's going to be l watt for them. He'll be
this gentleman will be in jail for the rest of
(10:03):
his life.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
New video still no face. The Providence, Rhode Island Police
Department has released a new video of what they are
calling the person of interest in the Brown University shooting
and is asking the public to really pay attention to
the shooter's posture, his gait, his body language in hopes
that somebody is going to recognize him because they still
(10:25):
don't have a picture of his face. The newly released
footage is a video from about two hours before the shooting.
The police chief said it shows the guy casing the area,
which he says is what criminals do. They've been looking
for this guy since Sunday when somebody dressed in all
black with a face mask on shot and killed at
(10:46):
least two people in wounded nine others at Brown University
as students were preparing for final exams.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, without a tip, I think this case is going
to be very difficult to solve, you know, arresting someone
because of.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Gate, although it has been used.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Gate has been introduced in court and has been admitted
into evidence.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Well, I wouldn't you think too, though. I mean, if
they when they find the guy, there are survivors who
probably saw him too.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Okay, now what do they see? They saw a guy
with a mask. Let's say they saw a guy who
is stocky and they only saw his eyes. He had
a cap mask on and the only is his eyes.
That's hard to identify. Even if you can identify him
where there's no issue, the defense is pretty strong.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
And do you have this all you have?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So I think it's going to be a tip that's
somehow going to connect him to this.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Please do the deal with Netflix. That is what Warner
Brothers Discovery is asking of its shareholders. It does not
want to do the deal, apparently with paramount Warner Brothers
Discovery is saying that Netflix is a better deal for shareholders,
also said it was a better deal for customers. The
decision ultimately rests with the shareholders. Some of them have
(12:09):
already said that they will reject the company's advice and
they want their shares to be sold to Pair.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
This is the board.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
The board recommended that the next Netflix deal goes through
Paramounts deal is not as good and it is who votes.
It's the number of shares that the shareholders that if
it votes a majority, then you know the sale goes
through to Netflix or to Paramount or doesn't go through
(12:36):
at all, probably going to be Netflix.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I think the president's chief of staff had a little
sit down with Vanity Fair. Apparently it was like eleven
different interviews. Now the articles are out, and well, the
White House isn't happy about it. The Susie Wilds is
the president's chief of staff. She criticized Attorney General Pam
Bondi for how she handled the Jeffrey Epstein case. Basically
(13:03):
said she whiffed it. I think for the words that
she said. She also described the president as someone who
has an alcoholics personality. If she says what she means
by that, is she doesn't think or he doesn't think,
there's anything he can't do, And the White House is
firing back saying a lot of this stuff was taken
(13:23):
out of context. I mean she obviously said it because
they recorded it, but while it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Could be it could be taken out of context. Yeah,
I think the I think the comment on the President
is I think that the least it has a least
what's the word I'm looking for, has least a danger
to it, if you will.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I think he even came out and said.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, at least attack. First of all, he has the
personality of an alcoholic. He is not he doesn't touch alcohol,
and so it's what's the personality. I mean he described
it because some alcoholics do think they can do whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Now, the Pam BONDI comment that she whiffed did that's.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
A little hard, a little bit harder to uh, to
attack itself or to defend. And then my favorite one
is Jay d Vance that he is a conspiracy conspiracist
and he said, well, maybe I am a conspiracist, but
they're true.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Okay, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
In any case, I think the President was the least
damaged and the other ones were actually hit and Susie
Wilde is interesting lady. She does not she's behind the scenes,
behind the scenes. I don't know how she ever allowed
an interview with Vanity fair Well.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
And she apparently did like eleven interviews. The White House
had her come to the White House and she did
like eleven different sitdowns, and that some of them were
up to an hour each. So it is really interesting
to hear. I would love to hear everything kind of
just played through to see if they really did take
it out of context.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And that's a there's probably a whole lot of language.
I'll bet you a lot of it was taken out
of context, because that's what these news media, the news
media does when they sit down for these.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Interview there is editing. You can't run.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
How do you do an article of nineteen hours of interviews?
And when I was on sixty minutes and I was
on for three minutes, maybe they recorded two three hours
of conversation and they took two three minutes. Now I
was treated very well, thank goodness, But you can't have
(15:30):
attack pieces.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Trump has something to say, we just don't know what
it is. He's announced plans to hold a White House
address tonight. He posted on truth social saying, my fellow Americans,
I will be giving and address to the nation tomorrow night,
addressed to the nation, all in caps for whatever reason,
live from the White House, at nine pm Eastern Standard time.
(15:54):
I look forward to seeing you. Then, he says, it's
been a great year for our country and the best
is yet to come again in all caps.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Now, I have a question.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It doesn't matter politically where you sit, whether you're a
trumpet or an anti trumpist. No one is going to
argue that it's not going to be entertaining. There is
no issue. We're going to enjoy it enormously and no
doubt talk about it tomorrow, all right.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
FIFA is making the World Cup more affordable for a
few anyway, So apparently there has been a huge uproar
because FIFA World Cup ticket prices have skyrocketed. So in
response to that backlash, FIFA says it's going to start
offering one thousand tickets per game. There'll be sixty dollars
(16:41):
each for supporters of the two participating teams.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What does that mean supporters?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I don't know. Does it mean you have to come
from that country or is it just.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I'm sure they defined it, but the sixty dollars tickets
is one point six percent of the number of people
that go to these places. You know, FIFA, to be
head of FIFA or on the board of FIFA is
one of the two great jobs on the planet, the
other one.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Being on the World Olympic Committee, on the International Olympic Committee.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Because as you go around the world and decide which
city is going to host the next in this case,
the CDs that are going to host the World Cup,
do you think that people who go to those countries
fly coach, I don't think so. I think they are
(17:34):
fetead like you cannot believe. And so FIFA, it's like
the super Bowl. You know, we talk about tickets available
to the Super Bowl. Either they're nine thousand dollars each
or you can buy them at face value, and they
sell three of those for the Super Bowl. So these
are sporting events that people are crazy. The answers don't
(17:57):
go to them, watch them on TV.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Time to sit and think at home. The second doctor
who played a role in providing ketamine to Matthew Perry
weeks before he overdosed his home in Pacific Palisades has
been sentenced to eight months of house arrest. He was
sentenced yesterday by federal judge. Mark Chavez is a former doctor.
He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute
(18:24):
ketamine last October. He also acknowledged that he and the
other doctor involved, salvad Or Placentia, colluded to deceive medical
ketamine suppliers and illegally distribute the drug to Perry for profit.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Now, the question is and the short and the court
wrote about this, both of them were guilty of sin.
The difference is one cooperated, one did not, and you've
gotten the doctor Mark Chavez immediately gave up his license
and immediately pled guilty and immediately said Miakolpa.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
And doctor Placentia not so much.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I don't think he flipped. He just said, okay, okay,
sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I'll give up my license. And that's exactly what they
were moving for.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Target and Walmart getting a good scolding. The US FDA
has sent warning letters stern warning letters to Walmart, Target
and other retail giants after its investigations found that they
have still been selling the baby formula that's been recalled.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
They also warned Kroger and Albertson's about their continued sales
of Buy Heart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula, which has been
linked to at least fifty one cases of suspected or
confirmed infant botulism in nineteen States.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, really, really tough.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
It was a lot of heart issues with those kids,
which is why they changed the name of the company
from buy Heart to No Heart Whole Nutrition Instant Formula.
I know, I know kids, I know infants getting Batchelism
is not that funny.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I think it is, But then you know, I live
in a different world than a lot of people do.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Not a Nobody Anymore, a posthumous memoir by one of
Jeffrey Epstein's best known accusers, Virginia Geffrey, has sold a
million copies worldwide in the last two months. The book
is now in its tenth printing after an initial run
of just seventy thousand copies. It's called Nobody's Girl. Jeffrey
died by suicide back in April. She was forty one.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
That book is on my coffee table.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Have you read it yet?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
No? And I didn't buy it either.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
As Lindsay read it yet, I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
She did or not.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I mean originally, I mean she is accused Jeffrey Goofrey
I pronounced names is accused of having sex with a
lot of people and she admits, which is why. Originally
she was going to title the book Everybody's Girl, but
it didn't work out that way. Okay, another one. Uh yeah,
(21:10):
we're on a roll anyway, Amy Maui News.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yes, there's an airbnb ban in Paradise. Mayor of Maui
Richard Bison Bisson has signed a version of a bill
into law that we'll phase out seven thousand short term
vacation rentals. The bill was originally proposed a while ago.
It took about nineteen months to get the final version,
(21:38):
but the amended version requires apartment zoned short term rental
units to be phased out by January first, twenty twenty
nine in West Maui and January first, twenty thirty one
for the rest of the county, most of which is
in South Maui.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, Baye Maui isn't alone.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
There are a lot of municipalities that are either kirk
or just stopping short term rentals because it takes it
takes housing out of the market. It just increases housing
tremendously and the landlord just make a pile of money.
I mean, these short term rentals go for hundreds of
dollars a night.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
And it also affects the hotels, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah, I would imagine it sure does.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
TikTok trick gets tripped up, so car makers Hyundai and
Kia have to offer free repairs to millions of models
of their cars under a settlement was announced yesterday by
Minnesota's attorney general, who led the effort by dozens of states,
including California that they argued that the vehicles were not
equipped with the proper anti theft technology and it all
(22:48):
stems from the thefts of Hyundai's and Kia's soaring because
starting in twenty twenty one, video is posted on TikTok
and other social media demonstrated how someone could steal those
cars with just a screwdriver and a USB cable.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
When is the last time you heard on a recall
that wasn't paid for by the manufacturer?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I think they all are right, correct?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Maybe Takata was Takana.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Pay back toa I know, even Takata has to when
they do the airbags. I know, And the settlement also
calls for those bumper stickers that say steal this car
to be removed.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Blocked. President Trump has ordered a total and complete blockade
of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela. This
is rampan up pressure on the country's authoritarian leader, Nicholas Maduro.
Last week, US forces seized that oil tanker. It had
about two million gallons of oil on it. Apparently, the
Venezuelan government has accused the US of blatant theft and
(23:52):
said the seizure was an act of international piracy. But
Trump says that Venezuela was using the oil to fund
rug trafficking and other crimes, and says we'll escalate the
military build up. And there's a lot of ships out
in the Caribbean now US.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Shaw and whether whether it funds drug trafficking or not,
these are sanctioned.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
This is sanctioned oil.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
This is in violation of the sanctions that are up
there and the you know, I think the United Nations
also was part of the decision to sanction. So, you know,
Maduro can babble all he wants, but and Trump, and
this has been going on for years and years under Biden,
under Obama, and Trump is the only one that has
the balls to actually do this. So I'm going to
(24:38):
give him credit on that one. Good for him.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I'm wondering, what, No, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I was going to say. I'm wondering if the White
House Address is going to deal with this. He says,
it's about that after a year in office. The country
is great and it's going to be greater.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
But I wonder I think it will.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I think it's going to go down through Look what
I have done to bring America back to its greatness.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You'll hear a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And I think you'll hear prices have been lowered, the
economy is exploding, the number of jobs have increased by
the millions. I think you're going to hear a lot
of that, a lot of self serving, self aggrandizing, because
he never does that. So he's going to go off
script on this one.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
He says, people love it when he goes off script.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, did you hear that.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I'm not even using my teleprompter and people.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, and his advisors are reeling.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
They put their hands.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
On their face, they put both palms their faces and
shake their heads.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
We've got a record breaker near lax and Amazon warehouse
near the gates of Los Angeles International Airport has sold
for a record price, apparently because logistics centers near transportation
hubs are in big demand. Let's see Morgan Stanley recently
paid two hundred eleven million dollars for the distribution center,
(26:00):
the biggest industrial real estate deal in Greater Los Angeles
this year.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, it's having more and more impact. Why because it's
Internet sales, that's the bottom line. And of course the
Amazon is growing and pretty dramatically. All right, I think
we can do one more.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
All right, Stern sticking around on Sirious Hower. Stern will
rain for three more years at Serious he'll be reigning
because he's a self proclaimed king of all media.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Pretty close.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, new three year deal after lengthy negotiations. Says he's
happy to announce that he's figured a way to have
it all more free time and continuing to be on
the radio.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And now he is getting one hundred million dollars a year.
There aren't too many people in the media that make
that much money.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Wow, and Serious.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
You know, when he was syndicated and made buckets of money,
he was only on I think sixty stations and it
was just an enormous amount of money.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Do you know that handle on the law.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I'm going to brag here. I'm on three hundred n
eighty stations around the country.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
My mommy listens to you.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
That's that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And of those three hundred and eighty stations, the vast,
vast majority are in towns that the entire population of
the town much less listeners, is fewer than the staff
here a KFI. I cannot tell you how many of
those stations are in towns. They have twenty or fewer
(27:33):
people living in the town. And Howard Stern has the
big stations. If you have the number one station in
about ten markets, you're reaching ninety five percent of the country.
If you have the only talk show in you know,
Buffalo as Wyoming, just it doesn't really work very well.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Do you know, Beside from Los Angeles, what's what's.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
My other really big one? My other big one is Atlanta.
Those are my two big big stations. The rest of
them are just just ridiculous. You can look at an
affiliate list and it is it's hugely entertaining on the show.
All right, Okay, I'm not gonna brag because it's actually embarrassing.
(28:19):
Oh okay, we are done, guys with the news. We
have the fifteen stories good for us. This is KFI
AM six four.
