Thanksgiving meal with my family and then went right to bed.

There is not a whole lot padding. No bad, there's
no bench, Like, can you do this so I can breathe,
I can go potty.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
I would have loved to have stayed in New York
a few more days, but nope, no deal, no dice.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
One time I used to go to New York, probably
twice a year, and I had landed, gotten to my
brother's apartment in Manhattan, put my bags down, and got
a call from Robin, our old PD. There were fires.
It wasn't these you know ones in January. This was
(02:28):
some years back, big fires, and I had to jump.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Back on a plane.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Oh come home. Yeah, I've had a couple of vacations.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Like does your brother still live there?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, he's They've got a place here there and on
Cape cod Oh, I know right, well in the wrong field. Hello,
and those gay men man, you know, it just I
don't know what it is. It's the the setup they just.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
They just they just know how to buy homes. I know.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean it's like, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's not like it's a two income family and male
female or not two incomes.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's just I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It's harnessing the energy of your gayness, O god, your gaosity,
your folk.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I don't know what it is. And they pick cute
ass places too.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I don't think they're connected in that way. I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I don't listen.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
I don't think being.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Gay means you automatically know how to save money and
why buy and make it?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay, says you. I think science is still out, it
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
The streets, also, single streets with no kids also are
able to save up money.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I think it's a kid. I think it's kids.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Oh yeah, right, science.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Wins out again.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Uh No, they're wonderful people and they and they the
all their places are great.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
But that sounds really nice. Yeah, they all have different vibes.
And do you like New York for the holidays or
I do?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And I think a lot of the weather, and I
know you and Sam were talking about that it is special.
But here's the deal. We have everything they have, it's
just not in one place. That's the problem, right, It's
so spread out. So yes, you can walk around and
get to everything. Plus we don't do in downtown and
the like. They still have the windows for it, yeah,
(04:30):
but they don't use them the same way.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Now.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Downtown makes me sad. When I was walking through all
of the streets and seeing all of these beautiful storefronts,
and I was like, this looks like what downtown LA
could be. We have this, We have these kinds of buildings.
We have even cooler buildings, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And they have horrible, horrible politics in California and Los
Angeles in particular.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It's sad.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
It's so sad.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Not just a liberal Democrat thing versus. It's just it's
it's we're trying to be too much to too many.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
It's also a destination like New York for the holidays
is a go People go to look at their their storefronts.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
People go to look at what they used to.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
My dad was a designer of for you know, bullets,
Wilshure and uh he did art there.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He for Sears.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
He did display art, went back when you did those things,
and so I'm a big fan of it, you know.
And you go like Disneyland. We're at Disneyland the other
day and you go to Main Street and they have
the displays in the windows. Yeah, they have animatronics in
the windows. They have there is something magical about that.
(05:44):
But we have great ice skating rings here in two yeah,
Pershing Square.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
On LA Live.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
It just it just feels weird when you're out there
and it's like seventy five degrees and you're like, I'm
ice skating.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Well, that's the biggest difference.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Is the weather.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, I mean I'll take LA all day, every day
over in New York. But they're definitely, especially around this
time of year. Some benefits and one thing, just a
little side note here. I love their public transportation. Oh
the fact that I literally could just pop on a
subway in and out everywhere and I'm there where I
need to be and not sitting in my car for
hours and hours.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Those two things alone, the weather and being able to
get placed. When we say here in LA i'd love
to get together. We mean it, we mean it, but
you don't want to deal with the parking, the driving,
the Yeah, but it's so many park restrictions. When I
visit friends in New York, it's like, hey, what are
you doing? You want to meet me here? Yeah, because
(06:41):
they know that one you can go have a cocktail
and not drive.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You can.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
It's so those two things. Yeah, we absolutely pale in comparison.
Plus we're not centralized. You can go, you can go
to Manhattan and everything centralized it is.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I mean we saw you know, I planned everything. I'm
a big planner when I travel, So I planned everything
that we wanted to see that was sort of within
maybe a ten to fifteen minute either walk or short
subway right of each other each day. And it was
amazing all of the things we were able to see.
We almost had too much time. We're like, okay, now
we're done.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
What do we do?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Because it was so easy to get on the subway,
so quick to walk a few blocks where we wanted
to go. And I will say, in terms of like safety,
people talk about New York and it's not safe. I
felt we felt very safe everywhere.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Well that's ignorance.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, yeah, New York is no. I feel pretty safe.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
When I'm in New York. I know my way around
New York pretty well. But yeah, and I have no
problem taking the subway anywhere by myself. But I'm a
two hundred and fifty five pound nobody's gonna mess with
Neil Well, you know, former martial artists, so for goatee. Yeah, yeah,
it's intimidating, it's uh, it's it just is. I'm a
(08:01):
little different about those things, however. Yeah, New York's got
its issues.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
It definitely does. And you know, and we do do
to here.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
We're a mess.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Don't even get me started about it here. I love
my city. I bleed Los Angeles. Yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
We we can't. We love being here. We love, but
we love.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
It's like a nice little We went and we visited,
we did our thing, we had our our moment in
New York, and now it's just really nice to be home.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So yeah, but I agree with you, there is something
magical about New York and uh in this time of
the year, at this time of the year, a lot
of movies are set there. Yeah, yeah, and so, and
like I said, it's centralized.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
We have big trees.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I mean, you go to the grove, you go to
the Americana. They're gorgeous. They have windows placed, they have
it's just not centralized.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
It's we're just so spread out here.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
And by the way, a lot of the calls that
you miss from people were calling in they are all working.
Everybody is working. They're like, we're working, just like you are.
On the way to work listening to cafe. I so
like Candle, not like that guy or Amy King. No, yeah,
I know kono jerks.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
All right, let's start handle on the news, shall we
with Heather Brooker and me lead story.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Oh god, this broke my heart. I saw the news
yesterday and.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
President Donald Trump course was the one that broke the
news yesterday on Thanksgiving, US Army specialist Sarah Beckstrom, one
of the two West Virginia National Guard members wounded in
that now known to be targeted shooting near the White House,
on Wednesday, that she has died. Trump called her highly respected, young,
(09:43):
magnificent person. Your social media feeds were probably plastered with
her kind face yesterday, And the only thing we don't
know is how this what the repercussions of this are
truly going to be. The other wounded National Guard member,
(10:05):
Andrew Wolf twenty four still in critical condition hanging on there.
Of course, we found out that it was a three
point fifty seven revolver that was used, and if you
know anything about guns, it is a very simple but
(10:25):
effective weapon and the rounds are just confidess but very sad.
Story sounds like a complete ambush. And as we find
out more about the wingnut that did this, we'll learn.
I mean, ultimately, something's mentally wrong when you get to
(10:49):
a state like this. So I'm a big, big, big
on defining things properly. Like you know, if somebody says
Islamic terrorist, the thing that you should be afraid of
is the terrorist part, not the Islamic part. Right, Yeah,
So these things if somebody is pushed mentally to something
(11:13):
or to make a statement or whatever, yes, every part
of that person plays a part of it. But I'm
kind of looking to see what sense or what ties
to the mental imbalance and all of that stuff.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I mean, you look more why when something like this happens.
Everyone wants to know why, and we often don't ever
truly find out.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No, I mean, we know that he's a twenty nine
year old Afghan national lived in Washington State and made
the drive all the way over there, came to the
US in twenty twenty one, and we'll continue to find
out more. I mean, you'd be hard pressed to say
it doesn't play a part in this, but I am
(11:58):
curious to see how this goes. Obviously it's gonna the
country's going to be on lockdown a bit, and I
would not want to be somebody from Afghanistan right now
with the national setup that we have here. Yeah, all right,
we'll come back and have some more of handle on
the news. Neil Savagri in the morning crew here with
you this morning. Happy Black Friday to you. If you're
(12:19):
up and out there being all crazy, I want to
know what you're getting, Like what would what would make
me get up and run out?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And would it be a TV.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I mean I always you always se people getting their
TV deals and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
How many teams are so greatly priced now?
Speaker 7 (12:34):
So yeah, yeah, right, you could get a big one.
Yeah all right, so stick around.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I mean, we know that he's a twenty nine year
old Afghan national, lived in Washington State and made the
drive all the way over there, came to the US
in twenty twenty one, and we'll continue to find out more.
I mean, you'd be hard pressed to say it doesn't
play a part in there. But I am curious to
(13:03):
see how this goes. Obviously it's gonna the country is
going to be on lockdown a bit, and I would
not want to be somebody from Afghanistan right now with
the national setup that we have here. Yeah, all right,
we'll come back and have some more of handle on
the news. Neil Savador in the Morning crew here with
you this morning. Happy Black Friday to you. If you're
(13:24):
up and out there being all crazy, I want to
know what you're getting, Like, what would what would make
me get up and run out? And would it be
a TV?
Speaker 6 (13:33):
I mean I always you always se people getting their
TV deals and I'm like, how many.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
TV these are so greatly priced now?
Speaker 7 (13:39):
So yeah, yeah, right, you could get a big one.
Yeah all right, so stick around. No you're not.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Sorry, not happening.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Kf I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Good Friday, Black Friday morning to you.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Neil Savader in the morning crew, and has got the

the day off. Well, basically it's Anne and me and
as you're you know, go to traditional morning show folks,
and then we've got Heather Brooker in for Amy and
Samsa in for Cono. But we're here for you and all. Yeah,
(14:21):
and all your Citadel craziness. That's what's popping off apparently,
and that's where it's at. Daughter was going to work
early this morning and she contacted you and said, holy hell.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, she goes, I'm driving a work mom on the
five and the Citadel is going off.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And what was that like five in the morning. Yeah, yeah,
when they open. I mean that place is always popping off,
no matter what.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Open last night at midnight as well. Oh my lord,
that's a great shopping area by the way.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Oh it's gorgeous. And yeah, the shops are great. Everything's great.
But that's a lot of humanity. It's a lot of humanity. Yeah,
that's that's the kind of humanity I do. I reserve
for Disneyland only. All right, back to handle on the
news we go with Heather Brooker and me.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
So we were talking about the National Guards member who
was shot and killed another one in critical condition.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Well.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
In response to this attack, President Trump has said that
he's going to permanently pause migration from all quote third
world countries. Now, he didn't identify any country specifically by
name or explain what he meant by third world countries
or permanently pause, but he said that his plan would
(15:40):
include cases approved under former President Biden's administration. He says
he's going to terminate all of the millions of quote
Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe's auto pen.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I know, I know else.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
So he says he's going to and it also end
all federal benefits and subsidies were non citizens. So he's
really taking a really strong response here to what happened.
I no details on what I heard.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
He was going to home depot and he was getting
some paint chips. And if you're darker than those paint
chips is what it's just. Listen, we got to get
rid of brown people. They're causing problems again, all right.
Horrible apartment block fire in Hong Kong, and the deftoll
(16:38):
keeps jumping at now at one hundred and twenty eight,
and officials there are just saying that this is not done.
You've got two hundred people missing as of today, and
firefighters finally brought the blaze under control. About forty two
hours after it I did, but just rapidly spread through
(17:05):
the multiple buildings. It's this public housing estate and this
neighborhood just just went up in flames.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
That's something we were thinking about too when we were
walking around New York as though they have the massive,
massive high rises.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Oh yeah, I could never.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
I would never want to live in a building that's
that tall, like where you just literally have no escape.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Not anything.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's not the you know, the fire escapes and stuff
like that. Or it's a whole different world to live
and that I know every entrance and exit to my home.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
How could you in a place like that.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, but yes, very very sad story across the board.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
And we'll continue to follow it as well because there
will be some more developments in the coming days on weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Absolutely, earthquakes, earthquakes everywhere. You had a six point zero
magnitude earthquake struck the northwest of Anchorage there in Alaska,
and we had some here, we had some in northern California.
Hawaii had a four point zero magnitude earthquake five miles
(18:21):
east of Gilroy, California. Here Gilroy, you know where they
have the garlic. Have you ever driven through Gilroy? Yes,
I don't care windows up, air conditioning off.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
This smell.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
It is pure garlic, it is.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I went around and just started planting little zelmans, just
started planting, putting the eastern seeds like Johnny appleseeed throughout there.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
You know they should do that.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm going to talk to Anthony over there and say,
just dump Zelmans over the town of Gilroy and see
if it.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Love the smell of garlic.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
But holy hell, I also love the smell of garlic,
and like saw take garlic with little onions and whatnot.
But like, it is a powerful stench in Gilroy. And
but they're probably used to it, you know. I went
to school in Oklahoma and Central Colahoma, and there was
farm lands around, and every once in a while when
the wind would shift, it was the smell of the
(19:21):
pig farms around Stillwater, Oklahoma would just blanket the whole school.
And after a while, you just kind of get used
to it. But so I imagine they're used to it,
you know, But it's it's powerful. That was my story,
So you sa, I went.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Into that one, and then I looked at this one,
and I'm like, Okay, do them all on the Let's
just do the well, let's get through the earthquake one.
So this hit the Inland Empire as well, three point
eight magnitude near I had a while, and.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
You know what, and Cono's not here.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
No Cono.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
All the earthquakes and the Inland Empire and oh it's
not here. Interesting.

Speaker 6 (20:51):

Speaker 3 (20:56):
I'll tell you how you know how to deal with
the leftovers and win they're bad and all of that stuff.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Yeah, some people, My husband is like, nah, it's been
another two weeks. It's fine, And I'm like, you throw
that away.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
If he wants to experiment.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
He can eat and he has like an iron stomach.
He will eat anything and just be like no, I'm okay.
And then I can see he's physically in pain.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Oh wow. Carry Hoffman has that like they're like scavenger dog.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
I don't know what that's about. And I'm like, just
don't eat it. If it's a couple of days old,
I don't eat it. I'm with you, all right, here
we go. Let's get back to some hard news. As
they say, Putin has doubled down on you.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
I feel like we should like a melodrama.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Boo no news or just for Putin, No for Putin,
okayo boot Putin.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
He is doubling down on his core demands for ending
the war in Ukraine. He says Russia will lay down
arms only if Kiev's troops withdraw from territory claimed by Moscow.
He is pushing for legal recognition. Of the Ukrainian territories
that Russia has seized by force include the Crimea Pensila,
(22:11):
which it illegally annexed in twenty fourteen, and the donbas
Am I saying that right donbas made up, which Moscow
has occupied for the most part. So he's not giving.
He's saying, if they don't withdraw, we will achieve this
by force of arms. So they're going to get even
more tough with Ukraine if they don't do what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
What's that saying? You give a dictator an inch and
they'll take everyone's life, take your country, in your life,
something like that. Campbells, they have been the news man.
What a time is the wildest food time of the year,
and your brand is in the news because you're talking
about three D printed meat. So the Campbells company said
(22:56):
Wednesday that it has fired that executive who was recorded
to making racist comments and mocking the company's products and customers.
If you remember, basically what was said is that he
made a comment that Campbell's is highly processed food, said
that it was for poor people. What's the person's name,
(23:21):
Bally Bally Bally.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
So this.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I mean horrible in every way talking about three D
printed meat and stuff, and they do have that technology,
but I don't know that it's used yet for mass production.
There is meat glues and stuff where they will glue
parts of meat together to make larger parts in processing.
(23:49):
I mean, some of that stuff's not pretty. But if
they're using three D printed meat at this point, that's fascinating.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
It's fascinating but also terrifying, Like, who's gonna oversee the
the three D printed meat and this stuff.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I saw this.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I just it's all just so scary what we're our
whole food supply chain and everything is what's going on,
and it feels like there's just a massive lack of
oversight for any part of it. But I saw a
video that went viral on TikTok and it was like
Fruity Pebbles and like one of the other some of
the other companies owned by Campbell's, and they were like, hey, guys,
(24:30):
look we're trending, We're going viral. What are we going
viral for?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
This is great.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
We've been working so hard to get like attention and
free you know, press or whatever. And they're like, oh, oh, oh,
this is bad. This is very very bad because they
have a lot of brand They have a ton of brands.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Yeah, and Phony Pebbles is one of them.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
They're like, oh, all right, okay, so we're getting more information.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
This is uh, this is good to know.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Here what we're getting more information about the Spike who
was shot and killed. Police say the suspect is a
documented gang member, thirty seven year old Jose Domingo ayala
alas alice if I'm saying that right. He's from Palmdale,
and they believe he is the one who shot Spike,
(25:21):
and they also believe that he is involved in local gangs.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, apparently was a known gang member and obviously a
dirt bag. So horrible situation. These canine officers are obviously
very brave and trained to do things that are dangerous.
But what a horrible, horrible story. So sad, all right.
Ticket prices at Disneyland, which I'm very familiar with and
(25:51):
talking about dynamic pricing, which is something that you know,
the old saying, you can't make more hours in a day,
you have to make more an hour. You know, that's
the reality of life, and companies are still trying to
find ways to you know, you can only squeeze so
(26:12):
much for a product or whatever, so they find these
different ways to change it, and that's what they're doing.
Disney ECFO and Senior executive vice president Hugh Johnson said,
we're actually investing in creating dynamic pricing. So I guess
Disneyland Paris has been using it for about a year
and it's off to a good start, they believe, but
(26:35):
they're trying to find ways to optimize it and make
sure that it's working before they bring it to the
domestic parks here in the States. So probably not something
we're going to see this year, maybe next year, but
it's coming. I'm going to be curious how you do that,
because to me, I want to pay more on a
(26:56):
slower day, you would, okay, well, because like I'd paid
more to be there with less people.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Oh I see, we're saying, yah, yeah yeah. This is
to me, is very similar to like surge pricing. If
I'm going to lax For those who don't know about
dynamic pricing, they're they're basically saying, at any given time,
we can at we can make things cost more. So
around the holidays, when everybody wants to go, maybe they
increase the price by a couple hundred bucks or a
hundred bucks or whatever it might be. And then during
(27:26):
the times, like you say, when it's slower, then it'll
be cheaper. Well that just means then it's gonna shift
and less people will start going during the holidays and
more people will start going during the slower.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
People will save money.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
But yeah, i'd like like during I think it's be
super cheap during Christmas time or whenever everybody wants to go,
cause it's gonna be packed.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
It's gonna be packed.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
I will tell you.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We were there on Sunday and on Monday, and yeah,
there was a lot of humanity, but it was a blast.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
It's always a blast though.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
It was so much fun. And the food. They have
the holiday festival going on there, Festival of Holidays and
at California Adventure Park, and the food is outstanding. It's
really good. And they did a twist on a Paloma,
which is a great Mexican cocktail and it was delicious,
(28:20):
and it was at it's festive and cars Land is
super beautiful this time of year, and Main Street is
and it just was and you know, I did for
the first time I paid extra to get to go
through a lightning lane.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I do that every time I'm too old to wait
in line.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And it was great.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Here's the thing for lines, It's not about the length
of the line. It's about the people you're in line with.
So I actually enjoy conversation with my boy and my wife,
so I don't mind the lines.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
But as I get older, do my hips.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Just feel the same way?
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
I was like for me, my body, yeah, doesn't enjoy it.
So waiting for two hours.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, so that it's you know, there's not much I
can do about it. I got flat feet, and you're
you know, have fallen arches and stuff standing around. Yeah,
and I'm the one, you know, taking two fifty five
around with me everywhere I go. So it's different for me.
But as far as being in the line, some of
(29:27):
the cues like in the Star Wars UH rides like
Rise of the Resistance, I could be in those all
day because they have props in them, and yeah, in
sets and I can look at that stuff all day.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
I feel that way about the Harry Potter ride at
Universal too. They've done such.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
An amazing Q to me, is better than the ride.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
It's so cool.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I walked through there because my kid, for a long
time was too small to get in on the ride.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
We walked.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
They have the option to just walk through the castle
to see all of the stuff that they have in there.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It's amazing.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
And the same thing with Anintendo ride too, down where
it looks like you're literally in the Nintendo world. Guys,
should we all just go to the Let's just go
to Universal or Disney right now, Let's just let's.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Just take everyone. But Neel's like, hold on, I've lost control.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
No, I have passes for both. I'm in let's do it.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
By the way, people are calling in who are in
line at the Citadel, they're shopping and they're saying, yeah,
we're here, it's act.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Well what are they getting?
Speaker 6 (30:26):

guy said he is going to Santa Surplus outlet on
the five and Commerce because they have a huge Santa
mural and electronics, appliances, food, candy, he has every they
have everything, and he's really excited to go there.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Wait, what's the name Santa I've never heard of it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I was gonna look it up, but the news got
in the way. But I've never heard of Santa Surplus outlet.
Maybe this is an ad for their story. I don't know,
but he called it and he's like, yeah, we're here
at the Citadel. It's there's a lot of cars, We're excited.
People are calling in and they're like, we're waiting in
line to go to the citadel.
Speaker 3 (31:02):

that for Apple products. I get it being there with
like minded people.

connection you cannot get that online.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
You mean the ambience, the ambience, the ambience, easy it,

They're just trying to get in at this point. Yeah, yeah,
that seems to be the place that's popping off. Yeah,
but good on you have fun, be nice, don't hurt anybody.
I mean a little elbowing here and there. You gotta
do what you gotta do to get in there. Yeah, TV,
after all.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
TV Scarf. Maybe that candle you've had your eye on hand.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
You're gonna you're gonna throw bows for a candle. Geez,
you're mean, Heather Brooker, It's true. Tell your friends back
to handle on the news with Heather Brooker and me.
All right, the ballroom arc tech course, this whole.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Guy tearing up there.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Hold on a second, you're just skipping the Turkey trot
in the palisades. Wait what Yeah, that's why we did
run to you at the music.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I'm out of it, Heather, Thank god for you your jet
lag and you're still uh, I am like absent minded today.
You know what mention of turkey, the mention of Turkey
and you're immediately re tripped a fan.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm like going through these stories.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I think I'm reading them and just going, oh, that's
a neat.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Story, and then.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
We are to tell people about that next Anyway, So
good news in the Palisades, which I know that they
desperately need. Over there, they had their Turkey trot. This
is the what did I see? It's the eleventh Annuel. Yeah,
the eleventh Annuel Turkey Trot. Everybody lined up yesterday morning.
About two thousand people signed up and they ran through
(33:42):
the Palisades. Of course, much of it still burned out.
Sixty eight hundred buildings were destroyed by the January wildfires,
and a lot of people and the organizers were saying
this was a much needed boost for the community, something
really positive for them to be able to come together
in this way and still hold on to some of
their traditions in the paliss.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I think that's powerful too.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I can only imagine that the community boost that that
gives you to see some traditions.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Still holding on.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Having said that, Hey, have I talked to you about
the ballroom over there at the White House?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
I mentioned that, Well, yeah, no, what's going on with the.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Ballroom, tiny little ballroom, tiny little humble. Yeah, so the
ball the architect there will keep their role despite going
back and forth and arguing with Trump. Trump doesn't like
when you argue with them. It's like his least favorite thing.
(34:46):
I think he would beat the crap out of his
own conscious consciences. Yeah, that's what I was looking for.
It if it disagreed, it's if it talked back. Yeah,
he flicked the angel right off his shoulder.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
But James mcquarie, the second he brought he was brought
on board by Trump to serve as the lead architect,
but he, I guess, expressed some concern it could dwarf
the White House.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
It's gonna be the White House is now going to
be in the shadow of the Trump Ballroom.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
You know, it'll be so big. So you know, the
White House is not that big. That's why they've had
to create, you know, other portions of the structure. But
it's a ninety thousand square foot ballroom connected to a
fifty five thousand square foot executive mansion.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
It's like when I added on my bathroom to my house,
did I really need a ninety thousand square foot bathroom.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
No, but it's nice to have it.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I mean, I'm not saying that the White House doesn't
need a big ballroom. I mean they're doing tents and
stuff for events, but that's big.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
That's a big Those are.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Some big ballrooms.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
All Right, it's going to get cold.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
It is going to get cold, but not here back
in the Northeast. This is always this always feels like news, like, yeah,
this happens every year in the Northeast.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
It's going to be cold. This is going to be.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Unusual though, because it's going to be colder than normal
in the northern and northeastern parts of the US. It
is going to send some of the earth's most extreme
cold weather uh is starting in the first week of
December towards mid December, and climatologists, meteorologists, weather experts are
(36:46):
all like, bundle up, get ready, it's about to be
cold when that polar vortex hits.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
But this is just the East coast, right.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Yeah, we're good. Get those shorts.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Out, stop your whining.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Keep your flip flops ready to go.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
And the last story we've been talking about all morning
Black Friday shopping, where you're flocking to Citadel outlets and
other so cow malls. I haven't been to a mall
other than you know, like your Americana. Love the Americana,
Love the Grove Glenda Galeria. Man, that's where I live
in a Glendale.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
I haven't been there in forever.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
The Galleria and the Americana, to me, are the most
perfect combination because you get a little bit of the
indoor mall, like your hot topics, you know, your Victoria secrets,
whatever you need, and then you walk across the street
and you get a big dose of Christmas at the
Americana and all the higher end stores. It's really it's
the perfect combo in my opinion. That being said, everyone
stay away. It's two pass.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah about it?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Away alrighty, stick around, More to come. Neil Savadra in
the Morning Crew today handles off. We're keeping it kind
of light and fun and playful today. A lot of

guess it could be fun. Heather brookers with us, and
of course she was asking you this morning, what's your
what's your Black Friday tradition? I didn't get to hear
any calls because I came in and I was chatting
with Anne.
Speaker 4 (00:59):

wonderful time for Thanksgiving. Uh you So you were in
New York for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5 (01:22):

Speaker 6 (01:23):
I just flew back yesterday and evening, had a quick
Thanksgiving meal with my family and then went right to bed.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
So I could be here this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
That's a diligent little person, right.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
I'm committed, committed to focused. I really also just want
to make sure Amy can have a break.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
I always feel so bad.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I'm like, I will do whatever I need to do
to make sure she can have a day off.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, it really there it that's the system here right now.
There is not a whole lot padding. No bad, there's
no bench, Like, can you do this so I can breathe,
I can go potty.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
I would have loved to have stayed in New York
a few more days, but nope, no deal, no dice.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
One time I used to go to New York, probably
twice a year, and I had landed, gotten to my
brother's apartment in Manhattan, put my bags down, and got
a call from Robin, our old PD. There were fires.
It wasn't these you know ones in January. This was
(02:28):
some years back, big fires, and I had to jump.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Back on a plane.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Oh come home. Yeah, I've had a couple of vacations.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Like does your brother still live there?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, he's They've got a place here there and on
Cape cod Oh, I know right, well in the wrong field. Hello,
and those gay men man, you know, it just I
don't know what it is. It's the the setup they just.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
They just they just know how to buy homes. I know.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean it's like, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's not like it's a two income family and male
female or not two incomes.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's just I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It's harnessing the energy of your gayness, O god, your gaosity,
your folk.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I don't know what it is. And they pick cute
ass places too.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I don't think they're connected in that way. I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I don't listen.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
I don't think being.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Gay means you automatically know how to save money and
why buy and make it?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay, says you. I think science is still out, it
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
The streets, also, single streets with no kids also are
able to save up money.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I think it's a kid. I think it's kids.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Oh yeah, right, science.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Wins out again.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Uh No, they're wonderful people and they and they the
all their places are great.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
But that sounds really nice. Yeah, they all have different vibes.
And do you like New York for the holidays or
I do?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And I think a lot of the weather, and I
know you and Sam were talking about that it is special.
But here's the deal. We have everything they have, it's
just not in one place. That's the problem, right, It's
so spread out. So yes, you can walk around and
get to everything. Plus we don't do in downtown and
the like. They still have the windows for it, yeah,
(04:30):
but they don't use them the same way.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Now.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Downtown makes me sad. When I was walking through all
of the streets and seeing all of these beautiful storefronts,
and I was like, this looks like what downtown LA
could be. We have this, We have these kinds of buildings.
We have even cooler buildings, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And they have horrible, horrible politics in California and Los
Angeles in particular.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It's sad.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
It's so sad.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Not just a liberal Democrat thing versus. It's just it's
it's we're trying to be too much to too many.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
It's also a destination like New York for the holidays
is a go People go to look at their their storefronts.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
People go to look at what they used to.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
My dad was a designer of for you know, bullets,
Wilshure and uh he did art there.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He for Sears.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
He did display art, went back when you did those things,
and so I'm a big fan of it, you know.
And you go like Disneyland. We're at Disneyland the other
day and you go to Main Street and they have
the displays in the windows. Yeah, they have animatronics in
the windows. They have there is something magical about that.
(05:44):
But we have great ice skating rings here in two yeah,
Pershing Square.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
On LA Live.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
It just it just feels weird when you're out there
and it's like seventy five degrees and you're like, I'm
ice skating.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Well, that's the biggest difference.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Is the weather.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, I mean I'll take LA all day, every day
over in New York. But they're definitely, especially around this
time of year. Some benefits and one thing, just a
little side note here. I love their public transportation. Oh
the fact that I literally could just pop on a
subway in and out everywhere and I'm there where I
need to be and not sitting in my car for
hours and hours.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Those two things alone, the weather and being able to
get placed. When we say here in LA i'd love
to get together. We mean it, we mean it, but
you don't want to deal with the parking, the driving,
the Yeah, but it's so many park restrictions. When I
visit friends in New York, it's like, hey, what are
you doing? You want to meet me here? Yeah, because
(06:41):
they know that one you can go have a cocktail
and not drive.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You can.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
It's so those two things. Yeah, we absolutely pale in comparison.
Plus we're not centralized. You can go, you can go
to Manhattan and everything centralized it is.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I mean we saw you know, I planned everything. I'm
a big planner when I travel, So I planned everything
that we wanted to see that was sort of within
maybe a ten to fifteen minute either walk or short
subway right of each other each day. And it was
amazing all of the things we were able to see.
We almost had too much time. We're like, okay, now
we're done.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
What do we do?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Because it was so easy to get on the subway,
so quick to walk a few blocks where we wanted
to go. And I will say, in terms of like safety,
people talk about New York and it's not safe. I
felt we felt very safe everywhere.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Well that's ignorance.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, yeah, New York is no. I feel pretty safe.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
When I'm in New York. I know my way around
New York pretty well. But yeah, and I have no
problem taking the subway anywhere by myself. But I'm a
two hundred and fifty five pound nobody's gonna mess with
Neil Well, you know, former martial artists, so for goatee. Yeah, yeah,
it's intimidating, it's uh, it's it just is. I'm a
(08:01):
little different about those things, however. Yeah, New York's got
its issues.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
It definitely does. And you know, and we do do
to here.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
We're a mess.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Don't even get me started about it here. I love
my city. I bleed Los Angeles. Yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
We we can't. We love being here. We love, but
we love.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
It's like a nice little We went and we visited,
we did our thing, we had our our moment in
New York, and now it's just really nice to be home.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So yeah, but I agree with you, there is something
magical about New York and uh in this time of
the year, at this time of the year, a lot
of movies are set there. Yeah, yeah, and so, and
like I said, it's centralized.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
We have big trees.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I mean, you go to the grove, you go to
the Americana. They're gorgeous. They have windows placed, they have
it's just not centralized.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
It's we're just so spread out here.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
And by the way, a lot of the calls that
you miss from people were calling in they are all working.
Everybody is working. They're like, we're working, just like you are.
On the way to work listening to cafe. I so
like Candle, not like that guy or Amy King. No, yeah,
I know kono jerks.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
All right, let's start handle on the news, shall we
with Heather Brooker and me lead story.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Oh god, this broke my heart. I saw the news
yesterday and.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
President Donald Trump course was the one that broke the
news yesterday on Thanksgiving, US Army specialist Sarah Beckstrom, one
of the two West Virginia National Guard members wounded in
that now known to be targeted shooting near the White House,
on Wednesday, that she has died. Trump called her highly respected, young,
(09:43):
magnificent person. Your social media feeds were probably plastered with
her kind face yesterday, And the only thing we don't
know is how this what the repercussions of this are
truly going to be. The other wounded National Guard member,
(10:05):
Andrew Wolf twenty four still in critical condition hanging on there.
Of course, we found out that it was a three
point fifty seven revolver that was used, and if you
know anything about guns, it is a very simple but
(10:25):
effective weapon and the rounds are just confidess but very sad.
Story sounds like a complete ambush. And as we find
out more about the wingnut that did this, we'll learn.
I mean, ultimately, something's mentally wrong when you get to
(10:49):
a state like this. So I'm a big, big, big
on defining things properly. Like you know, if somebody says
Islamic terrorist, the thing that you should be afraid of
is the terrorist part, not the Islamic part. Right, Yeah,
So these things if somebody is pushed mentally to something
(11:13):
or to make a statement or whatever, yes, every part
of that person plays a part of it. But I'm
kind of looking to see what sense or what ties
to the mental imbalance and all of that stuff.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I mean, you look more why when something like this happens.
Everyone wants to know why, and we often don't ever
truly find out.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No, I mean, we know that he's a twenty nine
year old Afghan national lived in Washington State and made
the drive all the way over there, came to the
US in twenty twenty one, and we'll continue to find
out more. I mean, you'd be hard pressed to say
it doesn't play a part in this, but I am
(11:58):
curious to see how this goes. Obviously it's gonna the
country's going to be on lockdown a bit, and I
would not want to be somebody from Afghanistan right now
with the national setup that we have here. Yeah, all right,
we'll come back and have some more of handle on
the news. Neil Savagri in the morning crew here with
you this morning. Happy Black Friday to you. If you're
(12:19):
up and out there being all crazy, I want to
know what you're getting, Like what would what would make
me get up and run out?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And would it be a TV.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I mean I always you always se people getting their
TV deals and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
How many teams are so greatly priced now?
Speaker 7 (12:34):
So yeah, yeah, right, you could get a big one.
Yeah all right, so stick around.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I mean, we know that he's a twenty nine year
old Afghan national, lived in Washington State and made the
drive all the way over there, came to the US
in twenty twenty one, and we'll continue to find out more.
I mean, you'd be hard pressed to say it doesn't
play a part in there. But I am curious to
(13:03):
see how this goes. Obviously it's gonna the country is
going to be on lockdown a bit, and I would
not want to be somebody from Afghanistan right now with
the national setup that we have here. Yeah, all right,
we'll come back and have some more of handle on
the news. Neil Savador in the Morning crew here with
you this morning. Happy Black Friday to you. If you're
(13:24):
up and out there being all crazy, I want to
know what you're getting, Like, what would what would make
me get up and run out? And would it be
a TV?
Speaker 6 (13:33):
I mean I always you always se people getting their
TV deals and I'm like, how many.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
TV these are so greatly priced now?
Speaker 7 (13:39):
So yeah, yeah, right, you could get a big one.
Yeah all right, so stick around. No you're not.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Sorry, not happening.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Kf I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Good Friday, Black Friday morning to you.

and then we've got Heather Brooker in for Amy and
Samsa in for Cono. But we're here for you and all. Yeah,
(14:21):
and all your Citadel craziness. That's what's popping off apparently,
and that's where it's at. Daughter was going to work
early this morning and she contacted you and said, holy hell.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, she goes, I'm driving a work mom on the
five and the Citadel is going off.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And what was that like five in the morning. Yeah, yeah,
when they open. I mean that place is always popping off,
no matter what.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Open last night at midnight as well. Oh my lord,
that's a great shopping area by the way.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Oh it's gorgeous. And yeah, the shops are great. Everything's great.
But that's a lot of humanity. It's a lot of humanity. Yeah,
that's that's the kind of humanity I do. I reserve
for Disneyland only. All right, back to handle on the
news we go with Heather Brooker and me.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
So we were talking about the National Guards member who
was shot and killed another one in critical condition.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Well.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
In response to this attack, President Trump has said that
he's going to permanently pause migration from all quote third
world countries. Now, he didn't identify any country specifically by
name or explain what he meant by third world countries
or permanently pause, but he said that his plan would
(15:40):
include cases approved under former President Biden's administration. He says
he's going to terminate all of the millions of quote
Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe's auto pen.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I know, I know else.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
So he says he's going to and it also end
all federal benefits and subsidies were non citizens. So he's
really taking a really strong response here to what happened.
I no details on what I heard.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
He was going to home depot and he was getting
some paint chips. And if you're darker than those paint
chips is what it's just. Listen, we got to get
rid of brown people. They're causing problems again, all right.
Horrible apartment block fire in Hong Kong, and the deftoll
(16:38):
keeps jumping at now at one hundred and twenty eight,
and officials there are just saying that this is not done.
You've got two hundred people missing as of today, and
firefighters finally brought the blaze under control. About forty two
hours after it I did, but just rapidly spread through
(17:05):
the multiple buildings. It's this public housing estate and this
neighborhood just just went up in flames.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
That's something we were thinking about too when we were
walking around New York as though they have the massive,
massive high rises.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Oh yeah, I could never.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
I would never want to live in a building that's
that tall, like where you just literally have no escape.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Not anything.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's not the you know, the fire escapes and stuff
like that. Or it's a whole different world to live
and that I know every entrance and exit to my home.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
How could you in a place like that.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, but yes, very very sad story across the board.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
And we'll continue to follow it as well because there
will be some more developments in the coming days on weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Absolutely, earthquakes, earthquakes everywhere. You had a six point zero
magnitude earthquake struck the northwest of Anchorage there in Alaska,
and we had some here, we had some in northern California.
Hawaii had a four point zero magnitude earthquake five miles
(18:21):
east of Gilroy, California. Here Gilroy, you know where they
have the garlic. Have you ever driven through Gilroy? Yes,
I don't care windows up, air conditioning off.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
This smell.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
It is pure garlic, it is.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I went around and just started planting little zelmans, just
started planting, putting the eastern seeds like Johnny appleseeed throughout there.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
You know they should do that.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm going to talk to Anthony over there and say,
just dump Zelmans over the town of Gilroy and see
if it.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Love the smell of garlic.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
But holy hell, I also love the smell of garlic,
and like saw take garlic with little onions and whatnot.
But like, it is a powerful stench in Gilroy. And
but they're probably used to it, you know. I went
to school in Oklahoma and Central Colahoma, and there was
farm lands around, and every once in a while when
the wind would shift, it was the smell of the
(19:21):
pig farms around Stillwater, Oklahoma would just blanket the whole school.
And after a while, you just kind of get used
to it. But so I imagine they're used to it,
you know, But it's it's powerful. That was my story,
So you sa, I went.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Into that one, and then I looked at this one,
and I'm like, Okay, do them all on the Let's
just do the well, let's get through the earthquake one.
So this hit the Inland Empire as well, three point
eight magnitude near I had a while, and.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
You know what, and Cono's not here.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
No Cono.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
All the earthquakes and the Inland Empire and oh it's
not here. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:04):

Speaker 6 (20:51):

I will talk about that.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I'll tell you how you know how to deal with
the leftovers and win they're bad and all of that stuff.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Yeah, some people, My husband is like, nah, it's been
another two weeks. It's fine, And I'm like, you throw
that away.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
If he wants to experiment.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
He can eat and he has like an iron stomach.
He will eat anything and just be like no, I'm okay.
And then I can see he's physically in pain.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Oh wow. Carry Hoffman has that like they're like scavenger dog.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
I don't know what that's about. And I'm like, just
don't eat it. If it's a couple of days old,
I don't eat it. I'm with you, all right, here
we go. Let's get back to some hard news. As
they say, Putin has doubled down on you.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
I feel like we should like a melodrama.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Boo no news or just for Putin, No for Putin,
okayo boot Putin.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
He is doubling down on his core demands for ending
the war in Ukraine. He says Russia will lay down
arms only if Kiev's troops withdraw from territory claimed by Moscow.
He is pushing for legal recognition. Of the Ukrainian territories
that Russia has seized by force include the Crimea Pensila,
(22:11):
which it illegally annexed in twenty fourteen, and the donbas
Am I saying that right donbas made up, which Moscow
has occupied for the most part. So he's not giving.
He's saying, if they don't withdraw, we will achieve this
by force of arms. So they're going to get even
more tough with Ukraine if they don't do what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
What's that saying? You give a dictator an inch and
they'll take everyone's life, take your country, in your life,
something like that. Campbells, they have been the news man.
What a time is the wildest food time of the year,
and your brand is in the news because you're talking
about three D printed meat. So the Campbells company said
(22:56):
Wednesday that it has fired that executive who was recorded
to making racist comments and mocking the company's products and customers.
If you remember, basically what was said is that he
made a comment that Campbell's is highly processed food, said
that it was for poor people. What's the person's name,
(23:21):
Bally Bally Bally.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
So this.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I mean horrible in every way talking about three D
printed meat and stuff, and they do have that technology,
but I don't know that it's used yet for mass production.
There is meat glues and stuff where they will glue
parts of meat together to make larger parts in processing.
(23:49):
I mean, some of that stuff's not pretty. But if
they're using three D printed meat at this point, that's fascinating.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
It's fascinating but also terrifying, Like, who's gonna oversee the
the three D printed meat and this stuff.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I saw this.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I just it's all just so scary what we're our
whole food supply chain and everything is what's going on,
and it feels like there's just a massive lack of
oversight for any part of it. But I saw a
video that went viral on TikTok and it was like
Fruity Pebbles and like one of the other some of
the other companies owned by Campbell's, and they were like, hey, guys,
(24:30):
look we're trending, We're going viral. What are we going
viral for?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
This is great.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
We've been working so hard to get like attention and
free you know, press or whatever. And they're like, oh, oh, oh,
this is bad. This is very very bad because they
have a lot of brand They have a ton of brands.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Yeah, and Phony Pebbles is one of them.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
They're like, oh, all right, okay, so we're getting more information.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
This is uh, this is good to know.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Here what we're getting more information about the Spike who
was shot and killed. Police say the suspect is a
documented gang member, thirty seven year old Jose Domingo ayala
alas alice if I'm saying that right. He's from Palmdale,
and they believe he is the one who shot Spike,
(25:21):
and they also believe that he is involved in local gangs.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, apparently was a known gang member and obviously a
dirt bag. So horrible situation. These canine officers are obviously
very brave and trained to do things that are dangerous.
But what a horrible, horrible story. So sad, all right.
Ticket prices at Disneyland, which I'm very familiar with and
(25:51):
talking about dynamic pricing, which is something that you know,
the old saying, you can't make more hours in a day,
you have to make more an hour. You know, that's
the reality of life, and companies are still trying to
find ways to you know, you can only squeeze so
(26:12):
much for a product or whatever, so they find these
different ways to change it, and that's what they're doing.
Disney ECFO and Senior executive vice president Hugh Johnson said,
we're actually investing in creating dynamic pricing. So I guess
Disneyland Paris has been using it for about a year
and it's off to a good start, they believe, but
(26:35):
they're trying to find ways to optimize it and make
sure that it's working before they bring it to the
domestic parks here in the States. So probably not something
we're going to see this year, maybe next year, but
it's coming. I'm going to be curious how you do that,
because to me, I want to pay more on a
(26:56):
slower day, you would, okay, well, because like I'd paid
more to be there with less people.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Oh I see, we're saying, yah, yeah yeah. This is
to me, is very similar to like surge pricing. If
I'm going to lax For those who don't know about
dynamic pricing, they're they're basically saying, at any given time,
we can at we can make things cost more. So
around the holidays, when everybody wants to go, maybe they
increase the price by a couple hundred bucks or a
hundred bucks or whatever it might be. And then during
(27:26):
the times, like you say, when it's slower, then it'll
be cheaper. Well that just means then it's gonna shift
and less people will start going during the holidays and
more people will start going during the slower.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
People will save money.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
But yeah, i'd like like during I think it's be
super cheap during Christmas time or whenever everybody wants to go,
cause it's gonna be packed.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
It's gonna be packed.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
I will tell you.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We were there on Sunday and on Monday, and yeah,
there was a lot of humanity, but it was a blast.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
It's always a blast though.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
It was so much fun. And the food. They have
the holiday festival going on there, Festival of Holidays and
at California Adventure Park, and the food is outstanding. It's
really good. And they did a twist on a Paloma,
which is a great Mexican cocktail and it was delicious,
(28:20):
and it was at it's festive and cars Land is
super beautiful this time of year, and Main Street is
and it just was and you know, I did for
the first time I paid extra to get to go
through a lightning lane.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I do that every time I'm too old to wait
in line.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And it was great.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Here's the thing for lines, It's not about the length
of the line. It's about the people you're in line with.
So I actually enjoy conversation with my boy and my wife,
so I don't mind the lines.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
But as I get older, do my hips.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Just feel the same way?
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
I was like for me, my body, yeah, doesn't enjoy it.
So waiting for two hours.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, so that it's you know, there's not much I
can do about it. I got flat feet, and you're
you know, have fallen arches and stuff standing around. Yeah,
and I'm the one, you know, taking two fifty five
around with me everywhere I go. So it's different for me.
But as far as being in the line, some of
(29:27):
the cues like in the Star Wars UH rides like
Rise of the Resistance, I could be in those all
day because they have props in them, and yeah, in
sets and I can look at that stuff all day.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
I feel that way about the Harry Potter ride at
Universal too. They've done such.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
An amazing Q to me, is better than the ride.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
It's so cool.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I walked through there because my kid, for a long
time was too small to get in on the ride.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
We walked.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
They have the option to just walk through the castle
to see all of the stuff that they have in there.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It's amazing.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
And the same thing with Anintendo ride too, down where
it looks like you're literally in the Nintendo world. Guys,
should we all just go to the Let's just go
to Universal or Disney right now, Let's just let's.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Just take everyone. But Neel's like, hold on, I've lost control.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
No, I have passes for both. I'm in let's do it.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
By the way, people are calling in who are in
line at the Citadel, they're shopping and they're saying, yeah,

the five and Commerce because they have a huge Santa
mural and electronics, appliances, food, candy, he has every they
have everything, and he's really excited to go there.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Wait, what's the name Santa I've never heard of it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I was gonna look it up, but the news got
in the way. But I've never heard of Santa Surplus outlet.
Maybe this is an ad for their story. I don't know,
but he called it and he's like, yeah, we're here
at the Citadel. It's there's a lot of cars, We're excited.
People are calling in and they're like, we're waiting in
line to go to the citadel.

All right, the ballroom arc tech course, this whole.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Guy tearing up there.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Hold on a second, you're just skipping the Turkey trot
in the palisades. Wait what Yeah, that's why we did
run to you at the music.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I'm out of it, Heather, Thank god for you your jet
lag and you're still uh, I am like absent minded today.
You know what mention of turkey, the mention of Turkey
and you're immediately re tripped a fan.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm like going through these stories.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I think I'm reading them and just going, oh, that's
a neat.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Story, and then.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
We are to tell people about that next Anyway, So
good news in the Palisades, which I know that they
desperately need. Over there, they had their Turkey trot. This
is the what did I see? It's the eleventh Annuel. Yeah,
the eleventh Annuel Turkey Trot. Everybody lined up yesterday morning.
About two thousand people signed up and they ran through
(33:42):
the Palisades. Of course, much of it still burned out.
Sixty eight hundred buildings were destroyed by the January wildfires,
and a lot of people and the organizers were saying
this was a much needed boost for the community, something
really positive for them to be able to come together
in this way and still hold on to some of
their traditions in the paliss.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I think that's powerful too.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I can only imagine that the community boost that that
gives you to see some traditions.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Still holding on.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Having said that, Hey, have I talked to you about
the ballroom over there at the White House?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
I mentioned that, Well, yeah, no, what's going on with the.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Ballroom, tiny little ballroom, tiny little humble. Yeah, so the
ball the architect there will keep their role despite going
back and forth and arguing with Trump. Trump doesn't like
when you argue with them. It's like his least favorite thing.
(34:46):
I think he would beat the crap out of his
own conscious consciences. Yeah, that's what I was looking for.
It if it disagreed, it's if it talked back. Yeah,
he flicked the angel right off his shoulder.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
But James mcquarie, the second he brought he was brought
on board by Trump to serve as the lead architect,
but he, I guess, expressed some concern it could dwarf
the White House.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
It's gonna be the White House is now going to
be in the shadow of the Trump Ballroom.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
You know, it'll be so big. So you know, the
White House is not that big. That's why they've had
to create, you know, other portions of the structure. But
it's a ninety thousand square foot ballroom connected to a
fifty five thousand square foot executive mansion.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
It's like when I added on my bathroom to my house,
did I really need a ninety thousand square foot bathroom.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
No, but it's nice to have it.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I mean, I'm not saying that the White House doesn't
need a big ballroom. I mean they're doing tents and
stuff for events, but that's big.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
That's a big Those are.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Some big ballrooms.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
All Right, it's going to get cold.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
It is going to get cold, but not here back
in the Northeast. This is always this always feels like news, like, yeah,
this happens every year in the Northeast.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
It's going to be cold. This is going to be.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Unusual though, because it's going to be colder than normal
in the northern and northeastern parts of the US. It
is going to send some of the earth's most extreme
cold weather uh is starting in the first week of
December towards mid December, and climatologists, meteorologists, weather experts are
(36:46):
all like, bundle up, get ready, it's about to be
cold when that polar vortex hits.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
But this is just the East coast, right.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Yeah, we're good. Get those shorts.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Out, stop your whining.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Keep your flip flops ready to go.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
And the last story we've been talking about all morning
Black Friday shopping, where you're flocking to Citadel outlets and
other so cow malls. I haven't been to a mall
other than you know, like your Americana. Love the Americana,
Love the Grove Glenda Galeria. Man, that's where I live
in a Glendale.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
I haven't been there in forever.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
The Galleria and the Americana, to me, are the most
perfect combination because you get a little bit of the
indoor mall, like your hot topics, you know, your Victoria secrets,
whatever you need, and then you walk across the street
and you get a big dose of Christmas at the
Americana and all the higher end stores. It's really it's
the perfect combo in my opinion. That being said, everyone
stay away. It's two pass.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah about it?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Away alrighty, stick around, More to come. Neil Savadra in
the Morning Crew today handles off. We're keeping it kind
of light and fun and playful today. A lot of
shopping and things like that going on, So stick around.
