Mark Thompson opens Hour 2 with the latest on the incoming Southern California storm, speaking with the National Weather Service as forecasters warn the worst rainfall is still ahead and caution residents not to let their guard down despite the calm so far.Mark then shifts gears to politics and pageantry, breaking down Donald Trump putting his name on the Kennedy Center, followed by the president’s announcement of a new fleet of massive warships — branded the “Golden Fleet.” Mark reacts to the hype video rollout, Trump’s flair for promotion, and how modern naval power has evolved beyond traditional battleships.The hour lightens up as Mark thanks Board Wizard (and DJ) Foosh for the Christmas music and gives away VIP tickets to see the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend. That excitement rolls straight into talk of the massive $1.7 billion and growing lottery jackpot and what that kind of money really represents.Mark wraps the hour by spotlighting the biggest pop culture moments of 2025, according to E! and NPR — from surprise celebrity moments to cultural milestones — ultimately declaring it the year of Taylor Swift, with a nod to headline-grabbing turns from Katy Perry.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show, Mark Thompsons sitting in for ten.
We're KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Wherever you're listening. Hope you are well.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We are waiting on a substantial storm system and to
the point that I guess every watch and warning and
advisory possible has been issued, and we wanted to get
the very latest. So we go to the National Weather
Service to do it, and Joe Gerard's on the line.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Hey Joe, Hi, you good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Joe. You're the real thing. You're a real meteorologist. You're
not some rip and read guy. Tell us what's going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
You know, we have a powerful winter storm. They're going
to be moving into the LA area. Looks like especially
later tonight and then through most of the day Wednesday,
we are expecting high intensity rainfall. We could get peak
rates of a six tenths of an inch to one
and a quarter of inch per hour, possibly up to
one and a half inches expect in the mountains, especially
(01:03):
in the south slopes, and so with these high intensity rains,
we are expecting widespread urban flooding. We get flooding of
small rivers and streams, we get mudslides rock slides out
of the recent burn areas. It seems quite likely with
these kinds of intense rainfall that we expect further because
of the flooding of potential. We do have a flood
(01:23):
watch and effect across the area for the next couple
of days. In addition to the rain, we are expecting
very strong and dusty south to southeast winds to move
in with this system. We're already getting wind gusts up
on the central coast around Point Conception of over seventy
miles an hour, and we are expecting some high winds
Cinta Monica Mountains in the mountains of Valley County with
(01:47):
wind dusts of up to sixteen eighty miles an hour,
and for the lower elevations. It looks like in the
valleys and coastal areas we should see winds in the
twenty to thirty five mile hour range, with some gust
as high as forty five I have to fifty five
miles an hour. So with the winds in the rain,
we are expecting widespread power outages as well, with down trees,
(02:08):
tree limbs, power lines potential, and that sort of thing.
So it's a very powerful storm and people need to
be aware, you know, use common sense. If you don't
have to go out tomorrow, try to stay home, try
to stay off the roads if you can. It's going
to be real nasty tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Joe, you mentioned a lot here, and we're really thorough,
and I'm curious, kind of at the beginning of what
you were saying, you sort of suggest that tomorrow will
late tonight into the early morning hours and through tomorrow
will kind of be the first big punch.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Is that my understanding correctly.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, that's correct. So the first punch will come in
at that time, late tonight, tomorrow morning, especially even into
the afternoon, and then there should be kind of a break,
looks like late tomorrow tomorrow night, and then another kind
of a secondary punch will come in. It looks like
Christmas Day into Christmas evening. So so you know, once
the rain kind of turns, the more showers looks like
(03:07):
tomorrow night, you know, don't let your dart down. We're
going to still get more rain off and on showers
and possible thunderstorms even right into Friday. So in addition
to the rain we're getting tomorrow, which could add up
to like two to four inches for the coasts and
valleys and for the ten inches in the mountains tomorrow,
we're expecting an additional like two to four inches through Friday,
(03:29):
So the total rainfall could be quite impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The mountains you mentioned. People might think, well, the mountains,
I mean, how much snow is going to fall? And
from what I'm seeing, it looks like enough warm airs
associated with this thing that's not going to be a snowmaker.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, it looks it looks like the snow levels are
going to be quite high. It looks like over eight
thousand feet tomorrow, and then with the secondary system coming
in Christmas Day a little bit colder, the snow levels
should fall down to round seven thousand feet, possibly as
low as six thousand feet by Thursday night Friday. So
(04:06):
we are expecting some snow at the resorts, several inches
of snow as possible before the storm ends, but most
of the storm, at least early on, will be rain.
Even in this hire element.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
This is one of those things and mountain goers, you know,
we're so used to this where you get a huge
storm system like this and it's just tons of rain,
and then the cold air comes in and you'll get
a bit of snow after that.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I guess this is just one of those situations.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But the big story is just the amount of precipitation, Joe.
It's just really it sounds like an unrelenting few days
for the most part.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah, So it looks like really starting tonight and all
the way through Friday. You know, the total amount of
rain we could receive is three to six inches for
the coast and valleys, and eight to as high as
fifteen inches in the mountains, especially wow baking slopes, because
there's going to be a lot of, like I said,
(05:03):
super strong, damaging south to southeast winds, and so you
get those southerly winds up into the mountains like that,
in the high moisture content of the air mass coming
in off the Pacific, it's going to just absolutely hummel
those foothill and mountain areas on the south slope. So
that's where the most rain will be for this whole system.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Joe, you're so kind.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I know you're super busy over there at the National
Weather Service Joe Girard, thank you. If there's anything, if
there's anything more we need to know, things change radically.
I hope you'll be in touch, but we really appreciate
your time today.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Thank you, Thank you, my pleasure.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Okay, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy holidays. Joe Girard
for the National Weather Service. And you know, they're parts
of the southern California area that are very much vulnerable,
but it sounds as though we'll all be affected. The
Palisades is one of those spots that we're all watching
with great anxiety, and a.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Fire department warning people in the Palisades Burns Guard to
keep their eyes out over the next few days as
this storm hits. Watch out especially for mud and debris,
and be ready to move out at any notice. The
damage that a downpour can do after a big fire
is familiar to people who live and work in the
Palisades and nearby. The February storms still freshen people's memory.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It can be pretty scary coming to and from, especially
with the boulders falling and stuff.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
We've had that happen.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Before where we were on our way here and boulders
have fallen, and we've had to swerve around.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Cow Trends has been working to minimize any damage over
the next few days, reinforcing hillsides, placing barriers to protect
Pacific Coast Highway, and planning to close down to Panga
Canyon Boulevard beginning at nine pm tonight. As told the
NBC four's Lauren Coronado, well, the.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Spot that we're most worried about for this storm is
to Pega Can and.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's why we're closing.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
It will be closed between in the same spot that
it has been previously, which is between Grand View and
pH which is three point six miles.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Firefighters are people to have an escape route already planned
and be ready to evacuate any minute, whether the warning
comes by text message or a first responder knocking at
your door, and keep your eyes out for what's happening
in your neighborhood. We also have our high elevation, our
mountain areas, any of our hillside communities, they really need
(07:20):
to take for caution around those areas.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
So I mean, it just never stops.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You know, you've just been through all of this with fire,
you're finally getting back in and again. Not every literally
every structure was burned, but you know, the devastation is
immense and widespread, and now you get this warning, be
prepared to evacuate. It's like man, Nature tests southern California,
(07:49):
and I mean, I get it, nature tests the planet.
But wow, we really feel, I think, war weary from
what we've been up against. So do not blow this
one off. I know in southern California, you know, and
local news there can be this effort to you know,
there's a little sprinkle and it's, oh my god, we're
(08:09):
on stormwatch, and people make fun of that. But this
is a legitimate, dangerous situation with tremendous amounts of rain
and a real scary kind of narrative over the next
few days. So just take the precautions and don't go
anywhere you don't have to go, and when you do
have to go somewhere, be aware of those things around you.
(08:31):
I guess that's the best you can do. It's The
Conway Show and we come back travel, Powerball and Epstein Files.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim Conway Junior. The answer
to who sings the Grinch?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It was thorough Ravens, You're unbelievable. What do I win?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're incredible, You win my enduring respect. Okay, it's insane. Gosh,
that's really good. And he was a voice of Tony
the Tiger.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, he had a voice a lot like yours, one
of these stentorian resonant voices.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Well, I'm looking for a late inning rally so I
can pick up some work like Tony the Tiger.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Please you you're probably busier than all of it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm very impressed with your knowledge. So among the things
that we're watching the storm, and of course we're monitoring it,
you know, minute to minute, So we're expecting the worst
stuff to come in tonight and through the day tomorrow,
and then it'll be followed by a little bit of
a let up and then another blast on a Christmas Day,
(09:41):
so you know, and then often on showery kind of
period into the end of Friday.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
So what we're what we're greeted with today is an
interesting turn.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And you know, Donald Trump had put his name on
the Kennedy Center, and you can put that aside for
a moment, but this isn't so much putting his name
on something as it is unveiling a plan to put
a fleet of battleship armadas.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I guess one armada would be multiple ships, so it's
an armada of ships. Trump class battleships into action, and
this new class of battleships that will bear his name
will reinvigorate, he says, the US Naval shipbuilding program. And
(10:38):
he made the announcement from mar Lago, and of course
talked about the fact that these will be unlike any
other battleships in history, and as is sort of the
want of this administration. One of the things that they
really do well, I think, is they do the media blame,
(11:00):
as you know they do. There's always a commercial to
tell you what they're doing, and there is a commercial
to tell us about these battleships. It's a promo essentially
that speaks to the power and the vision associated with
this new battleship design.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
As Commander in Chief.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
It's my great honor to announce that I have abooved
a plan for the Navy to begin to constructor if
to brand new.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I do have one note, and I don't mean to interrupt,
because it's all great. I would turn the music down
I just think that, you know, you don't need to
drown out that Trump is what you're selling, isn't it.
I wouldn't drown them out with all the background music.
But all right, Okay, as Commander in.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Chief, it's my great honor to announce that I have
abooved a plan for the Navy to begin to constructor
if too, brand new, very large, largest we've ever built battleships.
These are the best in the world and be the fastest,
the Vegas and by far one hundred times more powerful
than any battleship of the America's battleships have always been mistakable.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Symbols of national power. They'll help maintain.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
American military supremacy, provide the American shipbuilding industry, and inspire
fear and Americans enemies.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
All over the world.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Today's announcement, as you have another staff in our mission
to make the United States State be stronger than ever.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Okay, there you go again. I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I just I would just you know, I would have
just pulled the pulled the music down. But all right, anyway,
the deal on the battleships in general is an interesting
one to me because traditional battleships aren't around anymore. They're
not being built. They've been replaced by modern destroyers, aircraft carriers.
Battleships generally are viewed as more vulnerable to modern weaponry,
(12:42):
you know, to the missiles, and the advanced missile technologies
that are employed now can really take out battleships. So
there's that and the cost effectiveness. You know, building a
new class of heavily armed ships is extremely expensive and
billions of dollars per ship. And the reason that these
(13:08):
are coming out in the twenty thirties is because it
takes so long to build these ships. And that is
sort of the last thing I would mention with this,
which is that by the time you get the ship built,
and you know this from cruise ships, like if you've
ever taken cruise ships or even watched the cruise ship space,
you know that all the modernity that goes into the
(13:30):
planning of a cruise ship today, by the time they
get the new ship built, that modernity will be old technology.
And that's exactly what happens with battleships. There's just a
technological obsolescence. You don't have, you know, even the weaponry
that's used is not necessarily current. So as this administration
(13:55):
talks about this battleship thing, I would keep in mind
what kind of battleships.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I mean, it's possible that they.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
May increase the survivability, increase the firepower, increase the capabilities
of these ships. So I don't mean to suggest that
it's a crazy idea, but in general battleships are not
really where modern warfare is going. But as is noted
(14:25):
by the President, this is a trump class of battleship,
you know better than any other battleship.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So get out of the way and enjoy the advance
of this vision.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And as I say, it'll be the nineties, it'll be
the twenty thirties by the time these are complete.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
So I mean, again.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Not clear where they'll be built, how they'll be built,
because the shipbuilding world is a little overwhelmed in this country.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
So that's another part of this.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
But without getting too more into the weeds, the announcement
came today in that battleship promo that I thought was
a little heavy on the music. But aside from that,
they got all the information in when we come back,
I'm giving away Chargers tickets Chargers and Texans Saturday.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You don't need to wait. We're going to pay it off.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It'll be the great way to round out your Christmas
holiday weekend. Your pre New Year's magic will begin here.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Trying to get into some at Christmas music. I kind
of like it the day before the day before. You know,
as a storm system begins to close in on southern California,
you know, all the warnings and watches that are up
will continue to.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Keep you posted here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We are KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app its The Conways showed Tim's off for Christmas,
Mark Thompson sitting in and I've got La Charger tickets.
They're taking on the Houston Texans final game of the
regular season. Your last chance to go to SOFI and
see some football Saturday the twenty seventh. That's this Saturday,
(16:13):
kickoffs at one twenty five. We are hooking you up
to experience it in style v IP club seats that
means all inclusive food and drinks, premium parking. If you
want to go, if you're available Saturday, call us right
now eight hundred five two oh one five three four
(16:36):
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. We're
opening the phones now. Magic Matt is on the line
and we will give the tickets to call her number
twelve and call her number fifteen. Twelve and fifteen will
be the winning callers. If you don't win today, you
(16:59):
can still go. I have tickets at chargers dot com
slash tickets, and of course you can hear the game
right here on KF. I am six forty bolt up.
It's gonna be good Saturday against the Texans. Wow. Pretty cool.
I have yet to go to Sofi Stadium. Conway and
(17:22):
I were gonna go together. It was my suggestion that
we tour right before it open. I suggested it to Conway.
I suggested it to Sharon Bellio. They said, great idea,
and so I knew that, you know, with Sharon doing it,
it'll probably get done. She'll contact the Sofi people. And
(17:42):
it was like Wednesday, I think when I suggested it,
which is important because they call me later on Wednesday
and they go, can you do it Friday? Like no,
I mean, it's it's it's when late Wednesday. I'm busy.
On Friday, go down to Sofi for a tour that's
a whole day. Well that's the day we're doing it.
(18:05):
What that's the day we're doing it. And so now
I every time we talk about SOFI, I have to
hear Conway talk about how he was there and toured
it before it opened.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeh, no kidding. That was my idea to tour it
before it opened.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You run a tour that I designed, and you guys
completely stiffed me. So those of you who have been
to SOFI, I am envious because it seems like it
is an insanely cool place to be. And two sets
of KFI listeners will go this Saturday to see the
(18:42):
Chargers take on the Texans. And of course, you know,
I guess there's been a tenor Swift concert there, the
Eagles will play there or whatever. They've been a bunch
of different shows there. But so cool that this crew
will go with VIP club seats and all the rest.
I've got onto the adjacent venues around so Fi, but
(19:03):
yet to go to actually be there at so FI.
I saw the other day that, just speaking of stadiums,
I was watching the Cowboys stadium of I think they
were playing weren't they hosting I think earlier in the
week they were hosting a game. Maybe it wasn't this week,
but anyway, they were talking about the fact that I
think that that stadium, which was state of the art
(19:25):
at the time, that's going through kind of a change.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Isn't that right?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
The Dallas Cowboys, I feel like they're gonna they are.
Let me just look this up while i'm stadium plan
the AT and T Stadium the Cowboys, which is a
huge stadium with a retractable roof. It's the world's largest
(19:49):
high definition video board. Oh maybe no, I guess they're
not changing. They're not changing it. They might have just
said it's the last it's the last game of the season. There,
I see, yeah, because I thought, what how could they
be changing out of that stadium so soon? I mean,
it's an incredible, as I say, state of the art stadium,
But I always felt like that was the stadium to
(20:11):
see a game in, just based on what I'm seeing
from television coverage and sort of this as I say,
this huge video screen, biggest in the world. But now
I think SOFI is that. I think Sofi is what
Texas Stadium was. SOFI is now so this year at
(20:33):
some point this coming year. Maybe it's next football season
or whatever, or maybe there's a concert this summer. I
definitely want to get there anyway. Congratulations to those who
are calling and getting the tickets. I'll tell you who
they are next when we come back. A recap of
some of the biggest moments, jaw dropping moments in pop
(20:54):
culture this past year.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
We're expectors in big rain in southern California. We are
watching it for you. We're updating it literally minute a minute.
In fact, we're going to have a meteorologists join us
in just a few minutes from the National Weather Service.
We are KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And if we're facing down any sort of evacuation,
mud slides, the kinds of emergencies that we are really
(21:26):
on watch for, and we'll likely see because of the
unrelenting nature of the rain over the next few days,
we'll have all those stories for you. We're working through
the holiday and KFI will cover it all. Thomas in
Pico rivera Lucky Devil Caller twelve going to the Chargers
game with the whole VIP setup that we have for
(21:50):
you and and Marie and Anaheim Caller fifteen and Marie,
you too will be regale with all of the magic
of the Chargers home finish the last, yes, the last
(22:10):
Chargers game at SOFI. You two will get all the
VIP treatment. Very very cool, Thomas and Anne, Marie. Congratulations
from all of us at KFI. And of course you're
going to hear the Chargers game here on KFI. It's
Saturday though it's a Saturday game, so do adjust your
calendar accordingly.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well, it's the end.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Of the year and a look back on big moments
in pop culture is something that we do every year.
It's something that we're not alone and doing. A lot
of different places do it. And you know, depending on
your area of interest, I would say that there's a
you probably have a different list, but here is a
(22:54):
list from E and the E stands for Entertainment.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
The Engagement News that broke the Internet.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Katy Perry and friends take a suborbital spaceflight and Kendrick
Lamar brings his beef with Drake to the Super Bowl halftime.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Didn't Katy Perry end up with the former Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudell.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty big. I forgot.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I forgot about the spaceflight, but I guess she Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Anyway, we can see engagement news that broke the internet,
Katy Perry and friends take a suborbital spaceflight, and Kendrick
Lamar brings his beef with Drake to the Super Bowl
halftime stage. We're we living all of the OMG moments
of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Kicking it off with our English teacher and Jim Teacher
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
And Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
The couple's surprise August engagement shared to.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Instagram shattered records.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Becoming one of the platform's most shared posts in history.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
Just week's earlier, Swift.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Made headlines when she made her New Heights debut, appearing
alongside Travis and Broke and Kelsey on the two hour episode,
where she talked about.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
Her life as a showgirl and sourdough.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I have to say that when you're talking about pop culture,
I guess that's what they're doing on e First of all, again,
I might do it without as much background music, which's
a little distracting. But I also think that Taylor Swift
is pretty much it isn't she. I mean, it feels
like it was a Taylor Swift year. I know, you
know here at the end of the year, she's you know,
(24:27):
faded from prominence a little bit in the conversation, but
a lot of the year she was the conversation.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
We're very deep in a sour dough obsession that has sticking.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
In my life.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
But T and T weren't the only romance that made
headlines in twenty twenty five. Tay was there as bestie
Selena Gomez tied the knot to producer Betty Blanco in
a star studded ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. Zendeia also
made our jaws drop with a ring reveal at the
twenty twenty five Golden Globes in January, with the confirmation
coming later of the Euphoria stars engagement to Tom hollan And.
(25:00):
While the super private couple has stayed tight lipped about
their nuptials, her stylist Ala Roach quipped to E News
that he's resting.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Up for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
When the subject of Zendeia and Tom's big day was
broached twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Five, Well they really they click clack along here.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Some of this stuff I didn't really follow as closely
as they're following it. Best Lonely Island album Sabrina Carpenter's
Man's Best Friend, most Oppressing series and just like that accurate.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah, it's it's pretty rough.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Well, probably one of the worst finales of any television
show ever.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Spoilers With less than ten minutes remaining in the conclusion
of this beloved decades long franchise, a bathroom toilet overflowed
with excrement. This was caused by a very minor character
who appeared in just five episodes total, played by Victor Garber.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
His talent's wasted, they say.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh, he's terrific in everything, but yeah, the overflowing toilet
metaphor was a little on the notes.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeh.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Miranda Cynthia Nixon spent her final full scene on her
hands and knees cleaning it up. Wow one, I'm glad
I missed the most diabolical romance between meteorologist Austin Paul
(26:43):
Rudd and marketie exec Craig tim Robinson in Friendship Short Lived.
They would say it's cringy and awful, though dying from
secondhand embarrassment because men like Craig, men lacking any shared
social EQ or self awareness but still desperate to af
(27:05):
ford strong friendships, like any human, can't handle rejection.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
It takes a certain sense of humor. I was wondering
if Mark Ronner would like that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
The long Suffering One tried it and it looked like
he was going to be up her rally and she
warned me off ith.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I tried it, but no, have you seen The Knives Out? Mystery,
Wake Up Dead Man?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah? I liked it. I want to watch that.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's very long though, it's like two and a half hours.
It does not need to be as long as it is.
You just need to settle into the vibe and go
with it. No, there's some good stuff in it though,
And the character has really come into his own by
this point.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Ben wi Blanc, Yeah, he's really. What he does with
that character is super impressive. He's a brilliant actor. All right,
let's go back to you and see what they are.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Twenty twenty five was the year Katie Perry and Company
went viral within Out of this World star studded space flight.
The all female crew also included Blue Origin owner jeff Bezos'
is Beyonce Laurence Sanchez and Gail King. Twenty twenty five
marked a royal shake up as Prince Andrew relinquished his
royal title aid continued scrutiny into his relationship with the
(28:12):
late Jeffrey Epstein. The sixty five year old continues to
vigorously deny any wrongdoing. Twenty twenty five also marked the
end of an era for one of Hollywood's most beloved couples,
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who split in September after
nearly two decades together.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Sorry, the tough thing about that was, I was watching
entertainment tonight. You know, I never miss an episode, of course,
and as they did that story about them breaking up,
what do they do? They do tons? But I mean,
it felt like it was an endless stream of them
(28:49):
on red carpet, interviews, on morning shows, on every imaginable venue,
talking about how you have to work on your relationship.
The most important thing in our marriage is our marriage.
The most important thing in our lives is our marriage.
Working on the relationship relationships number one. I'm telling you
(29:09):
you'd see the two of them and one would say
half of that and the other would fill in the
other half. It was incredible, and it just you talk
about cringe worthy. I mean, it feels almost gratuitous, like
it feels like that's a late hit out of bounds
and you know they didn't work out. I mean to
show all of those different sound bites with them talking
about how the relationship is so great and how you
(29:33):
have to maintain it.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Well, when people talk about it that much, there's no
more of a harbinger of an impending breakup than getting
somebody's tattoo like on your face.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Right, yeah, you know it's just not gonna last probably right, Well,
you can make up your own list. Those are a
few of the highlights of twenty twenty five. We'll talk
to a National Weather Service meteorologis when we come back.
We'll get the latest the computer modeling changes every few hours.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Ours.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
We'll talk to a meteorologian the National Weather Service about
this incoming storm as we continue. It's the Tim Conway
Junior Show. Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim at kf
I AM six forty
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show, Mark Thompsons sitting in for ten.
We're KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Wherever you're listening. Hope you are well.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We are waiting on a substantial storm system and to
the point that I guess every watch and warning and
advisory possible has been issued, and we wanted to get
the very latest. So we go to the National Weather
Service to do it, and Joe Gerard's on the line.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Hey Joe, Hi, you good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Joe. You're the real thing. You're a real meteorologist. You're
not some rip and read guy. Tell us what's going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
You know, we have a powerful winter storm. They're going
to be moving into the LA area. Looks like especially
later tonight and then through most of the day Wednesday,
we are expecting high intensity rainfall. We could get peak
rates of a six tenths of an inch to one
and a quarter of inch per hour, possibly up to
one and a half inches expect in the mountains, especially
(01:03):
in the south slopes, and so with these high intensity rains,
we are expecting widespread urban flooding. We get flooding of
small rivers and streams, we get mudslides rock slides out
of the recent burn areas. It seems quite likely with
these kinds of intense rainfall that we expect further because
of the flooding of potential. We do have a flood
(01:23):
watch and effect across the area for the next couple
of days. In addition to the rain, we are expecting
very strong and dusty south to southeast winds to move
in with this system. We're already getting wind gusts up
on the central coast around Point Conception of over seventy
miles an hour, and we are expecting some high winds
Cinta Monica Mountains in the mountains of Valley County with
(01:47):
wind dusts of up to sixteen eighty miles an hour,
and for the lower elevations. It looks like in the
valleys and coastal areas we should see winds in the
twenty to thirty five mile hour range, with some gust
as high as forty five I have to fifty five
miles an hour. So with the winds in the rain,
we are expecting widespread power outages as well, with down trees,
(02:08):
tree limbs, power lines potential, and that sort of thing.
So it's a very powerful storm and people need to
be aware, you know, use common sense. If you don't
have to go out tomorrow, try to stay home, try
to stay off the roads if you can. It's going
to be real nasty tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Joe, you mentioned a lot here, and we're really thorough,
and I'm curious, kind of at the beginning of what
you were saying, you sort of suggest that tomorrow will
late tonight into the early morning hours and through tomorrow
will kind of be the first big punch.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Is that my understanding correctly.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, that's correct. So the first punch will come in
at that time, late tonight, tomorrow morning, especially even into
the afternoon, and then there should be kind of a break,
looks like late tomorrow tomorrow night, and then another kind
of a secondary punch will come in. It looks like
Christmas Day into Christmas evening. So so you know, once
the rain kind of turns, the more showers looks like
(03:07):
tomorrow night, you know, don't let your dart down. We're
going to still get more rain off and on showers
and possible thunderstorms even right into Friday. So in addition
to the rain we're getting tomorrow, which could add up
to like two to four inches for the coasts and
valleys and for the ten inches in the mountains tomorrow,
we're expecting an additional like two to four inches through Friday,
(03:29):
So the total rainfall could be quite impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The mountains you mentioned. People might think, well, the mountains,
I mean, how much snow is going to fall? And
from what I'm seeing, it looks like enough warm airs
associated with this thing that's not going to be a snowmaker.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, it looks it looks like the snow levels are
going to be quite high. It looks like over eight
thousand feet tomorrow, and then with the secondary system coming
in Christmas Day a little bit colder, the snow levels
should fall down to round seven thousand feet, possibly as
low as six thousand feet by Thursday night Friday. So
(04:06):
we are expecting some snow at the resorts, several inches
of snow as possible before the storm ends, but most
of the storm, at least early on, will be rain.
Even in this hire element.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
This is one of those things and mountain goers, you know,
we're so used to this where you get a huge
storm system like this and it's just tons of rain,
and then the cold air comes in and you'll get
a bit of snow after that.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I guess this is just one of those situations.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But the big story is just the amount of precipitation, Joe.
It's just really it sounds like an unrelenting few days
for the most part.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah, So it looks like really starting tonight and all
the way through Friday. You know, the total amount of
rain we could receive is three to six inches for
the coast and valleys, and eight to as high as
fifteen inches in the mountains, especially wow baking slopes, because
there's going to be a lot of, like I said,
(05:03):
super strong, damaging south to southeast winds, and so you
get those southerly winds up into the mountains like that,
in the high moisture content of the air mass coming
in off the Pacific, it's going to just absolutely hummel
those foothill and mountain areas on the south slope. So
that's where the most rain will be for this whole system.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Joe, you're so kind.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I know you're super busy over there at the National
Weather Service Joe Girard, thank you. If there's anything, if
there's anything more we need to know, things change radically.
I hope you'll be in touch, but we really appreciate
your time today.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Thank you, Thank you, my pleasure.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Okay, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy holidays. Joe Girard
for the National Weather Service. And you know, they're parts
of the southern California area that are very much vulnerable,
but it sounds as though we'll all be affected. The
Palisades is one of those spots that we're all watching
with great anxiety, and a.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Fire department warning people in the Palisades Burns Guard to
keep their eyes out over the next few days as
this storm hits. Watch out especially for mud and debris,
and be ready to move out at any notice. The
damage that a downpour can do after a big fire
is familiar to people who live and work in the
Palisades and nearby. The February storms still freshen people's memory.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It can be pretty scary coming to and from, especially
with the boulders falling and stuff.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
We've had that happen.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Before where we were on our way here and boulders
have fallen, and we've had to swerve around.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Cow Trends has been working to minimize any damage over
the next few days, reinforcing hillsides, placing barriers to protect
Pacific Coast Highway, and planning to close down to Panga
Canyon Boulevard beginning at nine pm tonight. As told the
NBC four's Lauren Coronado, well, the.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Spot that we're most worried about for this storm is
to Pega Can and.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's why we're closing.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
It will be closed between in the same spot that
it has been previously, which is between Grand View and
pH which is three point six miles.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Firefighters are people to have an escape route already planned
and be ready to evacuate any minute, whether the warning
comes by text message or a first responder knocking at
your door, and keep your eyes out for what's happening
in your neighborhood. We also have our high elevation, our
mountain areas, any of our hillside communities, they really need
(07:20):
to take for caution around those areas.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
So I mean, it just never stops.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You know, you've just been through all of this with fire,
you're finally getting back in and again. Not every literally
every structure was burned, but you know, the devastation is
immense and widespread, and now you get this warning, be
prepared to evacuate. It's like man, Nature tests southern California,
(07:49):
and I mean, I get it, nature tests the planet.
But wow, we really feel, I think, war weary from
what we've been up against. So do not blow this
one off. I know in southern California, you know, and
local news there can be this effort to you know,
there's a little sprinkle and it's, oh my god, we're
(08:09):
on stormwatch, and people make fun of that. But this
is a legitimate, dangerous situation with tremendous amounts of rain
and a real scary kind of narrative over the next
few days. So just take the precautions and don't go
anywhere you don't have to go, and when you do
have to go somewhere, be aware of those things around you.
(08:31):
I guess that's the best you can do. It's The
Conway Show and we come back travel, Powerball and Epstein Files.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim Conway Junior. The answer
to who sings the Grinch?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It was thorough Ravens, You're unbelievable. What do I win?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're incredible, You win my enduring respect. Okay, it's insane. Gosh,
that's really good. And he was a voice of Tony
the Tiger.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, he had a voice a lot like yours, one
of these stentorian resonant voices.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Well, I'm looking for a late inning rally so I
can pick up some work like Tony the Tiger.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Please you you're probably busier than all of it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm very impressed with your knowledge. So among the things
that we're watching the storm, and of course we're monitoring it,
you know, minute to minute, So we're expecting the worst
stuff to come in tonight and through the day tomorrow,
and then it'll be followed by a little bit of
a let up and then another blast on a Christmas Day,
(09:41):
so you know, and then often on showery kind of
period into the end of Friday.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
So what we're what we're greeted with today is an
interesting turn.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And you know, Donald Trump had put his name on
the Kennedy Center, and you can put that aside for
a moment, but this isn't so much putting his name
on something as it is unveiling a plan to put
a fleet of battleship armadas.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I guess one armada would be multiple ships, so it's
an armada of ships. Trump class battleships into action, and
this new class of battleships that will bear his name
will reinvigorate, he says, the US Naval shipbuilding program. And
(10:38):
he made the announcement from mar Lago, and of course
talked about the fact that these will be unlike any
other battleships in history, and as is sort of the
want of this administration. One of the things that they
really do well, I think, is they do the media blame,
(11:00):
as you know they do. There's always a commercial to
tell you what they're doing, and there is a commercial
to tell us about these battleships. It's a promo essentially
that speaks to the power and the vision associated with
this new battleship design.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
As Commander in Chief.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
It's my great honor to announce that I have abooved
a plan for the Navy to begin to constructor if
to brand new.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I do have one note, and I don't mean to interrupt,
because it's all great. I would turn the music down
I just think that, you know, you don't need to
drown out that Trump is what you're selling, isn't it.
I wouldn't drown them out with all the background music.
But all right, Okay, as Commander in.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Chief, it's my great honor to announce that I have
abooved a plan for the Navy to begin to constructor
if too, brand new, very large, largest we've ever built battleships.
These are the best in the world and be the fastest,
the Vegas and by far one hundred times more powerful
than any battleship of the America's battleships have always been mistakable.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Symbols of national power. They'll help maintain.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
American military supremacy, provide the American shipbuilding industry, and inspire
fear and Americans enemies.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
All over the world.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Today's announcement, as you have another staff in our mission
to make the United States State be stronger than ever.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Okay, there you go again. I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I just I would just you know, I would have
just pulled the pulled the music down. But all right, anyway,
the deal on the battleships in general is an interesting
one to me because traditional battleships aren't around anymore. They're
not being built. They've been replaced by modern destroyers, aircraft carriers.
Battleships generally are viewed as more vulnerable to modern weaponry,
(12:42):
you know, to the missiles, and the advanced missile technologies
that are employed now can really take out battleships. So
there's that and the cost effectiveness. You know, building a
new class of heavily armed ships is extremely expensive and
billions of dollars per ship. And the reason that these
(13:08):
are coming out in the twenty thirties is because it
takes so long to build these ships. And that is
sort of the last thing I would mention with this,
which is that by the time you get the ship built,
and you know this from cruise ships, like if you've
ever taken cruise ships or even watched the cruise ship space,
you know that all the modernity that goes into the
(13:30):
planning of a cruise ship today, by the time they
get the new ship built, that modernity will be old technology.
And that's exactly what happens with battleships. There's just a
technological obsolescence. You don't have, you know, even the weaponry
that's used is not necessarily current. So as this administration
(13:55):
talks about this battleship thing, I would keep in mind
what kind of battleships.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I mean, it's possible that they.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
May increase the survivability, increase the firepower, increase the capabilities
of these ships. So I don't mean to suggest that
it's a crazy idea, but in general battleships are not
really where modern warfare is going. But as is noted
(14:25):
by the President, this is a trump class of battleship,
you know better than any other battleship.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So get out of the way and enjoy the advance
of this vision.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And as I say, it'll be the nineties, it'll be
the twenty thirties by the time these are complete.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
So I mean, again.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Not clear where they'll be built, how they'll be built,
because the shipbuilding world is a little overwhelmed in this country.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
So that's another part of this.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
But without getting too more into the weeds, the announcement
came today in that battleship promo that I thought was
a little heavy on the music. But aside from that,
they got all the information in when we come back,
I'm giving away Chargers tickets Chargers and Texans Saturday.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You don't need to wait. We're going to pay it off.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It'll be the great way to round out your Christmas
holiday weekend. Your pre New Year's magic will begin here.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Trying to get into some at Christmas music. I kind
of like it the day before the day before. You know,
as a storm system begins to close in on southern California,
you know, all the warnings and watches that are up
will continue to.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Keep you posted here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We are KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app its The Conways showed Tim's off for Christmas,
Mark Thompson sitting in and I've got La Charger tickets.
They're taking on the Houston Texans final game of the
regular season. Your last chance to go to SOFI and
see some football Saturday the twenty seventh. That's this Saturday,
(16:13):
kickoffs at one twenty five. We are hooking you up
to experience it in style v IP club seats that
means all inclusive food and drinks, premium parking. If you
want to go, if you're available Saturday, call us right
now eight hundred five two oh one five three four
(16:36):
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. We're
opening the phones now. Magic Matt is on the line
and we will give the tickets to call her number
twelve and call her number fifteen. Twelve and fifteen will
be the winning callers. If you don't win today, you
(16:59):
can still go. I have tickets at chargers dot com
slash tickets, and of course you can hear the game
right here on KF. I am six forty bolt up.
It's gonna be good Saturday against the Texans. Wow. Pretty cool.
I have yet to go to Sofi Stadium. Conway and
(17:22):
I were gonna go together. It was my suggestion that
we tour right before it open. I suggested it to Conway.
I suggested it to Sharon Bellio. They said, great idea,
and so I knew that, you know, with Sharon doing it,
it'll probably get done. She'll contact the Sofi people. And
(17:42):
it was like Wednesday, I think when I suggested it,
which is important because they call me later on Wednesday
and they go, can you do it Friday? Like no,
I mean, it's it's it's when late Wednesday. I'm busy.
On Friday, go down to Sofi for a tour that's
a whole day. Well that's the day we're doing it.
(18:05):
What that's the day we're doing it. And so now
I every time we talk about SOFI, I have to
hear Conway talk about how he was there and toured
it before it opened.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeh, no kidding. That was my idea to tour it
before it opened.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You run a tour that I designed, and you guys
completely stiffed me. So those of you who have been
to SOFI, I am envious because it seems like it
is an insanely cool place to be. And two sets
of KFI listeners will go this Saturday to see the
(18:42):
Chargers take on the Texans. And of course, you know,
I guess there's been a tenor Swift concert there, the
Eagles will play there or whatever. They've been a bunch
of different shows there. But so cool that this crew
will go with VIP club seats and all the rest.
I've got onto the adjacent venues around so Fi, but
(19:03):
yet to go to actually be there at so FI.
I saw the other day that, just speaking of stadiums,
I was watching the Cowboys stadium of I think they
were playing weren't they hosting I think earlier in the
week they were hosting a game. Maybe it wasn't this week,
but anyway, they were talking about the fact that I
think that that stadium, which was state of the art
(19:25):
at the time, that's going through kind of a change.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Isn't that right?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
The Dallas Cowboys, I feel like they're gonna they are.
Let me just look this up while i'm stadium plan
the AT and T Stadium the Cowboys, which is a
huge stadium with a retractable roof. It's the world's largest
(19:49):
high definition video board. Oh maybe no, I guess they're
not changing. They're not changing it. They might have just
said it's the last it's the last game of the season. There,
I see, yeah, because I thought, what how could they
be changing out of that stadium so soon? I mean,
it's an incredible, as I say, state of the art stadium,
But I always felt like that was the stadium to
(20:11):
see a game in, just based on what I'm seeing
from television coverage and sort of this as I say,
this huge video screen, biggest in the world. But now
I think SOFI is that. I think Sofi is what
Texas Stadium was. SOFI is now so this year at
(20:33):
some point this coming year. Maybe it's next football season
or whatever, or maybe there's a concert this summer. I
definitely want to get there anyway. Congratulations to those who
are calling and getting the tickets. I'll tell you who
they are next when we come back. A recap of
some of the biggest moments, jaw dropping moments in pop
(20:54):
culture this past year.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
We're expectors in big rain in southern California. We are
watching it for you. We're updating it literally minute a minute.
In fact, we're going to have a meteorologists join us
in just a few minutes from the National Weather Service.
We are KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And if we're facing down any sort of evacuation,
mud slides, the kinds of emergencies that we are really
(21:26):
on watch for, and we'll likely see because of the
unrelenting nature of the rain over the next few days,
we'll have all those stories for you. We're working through
the holiday and KFI will cover it all. Thomas in
Pico rivera Lucky Devil Caller twelve going to the Chargers
game with the whole VIP setup that we have for
(21:50):
you and and Marie and Anaheim Caller fifteen and Marie,
you too will be regale with all of the magic
of the Chargers home finish the last, yes, the last

from all of us at KFI. And of course you're
going to hear the Chargers game here on KFI. It's
Saturday though it's a Saturday game, so do adjust your
calendar accordingly.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well, it's the end.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Of the year and a look back on big moments
in pop culture is something that we do every year.
It's something that we're not alone and doing. A lot
of different places do it. And you know, depending on
your area of interest, I would say that there's a
you probably have a different list, but here is a
(22:54):
list from E and the E stands for Entertainment.
Speaker 9 (22:58):

Just week's earlier, Swift.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Made headlines when she made her New Heights debut, appearing
alongside Travis and Broke and Kelsey on the two hour episode,
where she talked about.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
Her life as a showgirl and sourdough.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I have to say that when you're talking about pop culture,
I guess that's what they're doing on e First of all, again,
I might do it without as much background music, which's
a little distracting. But I also think that Taylor Swift
is pretty much it isn't she. I mean, it feels
like it was a Taylor Swift year. I know, you
know here at the end of the year, she's you know,
(24:27):
faded from prominence a little bit in the conversation, but
a lot of the year she was the conversation.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
We're very deep in a sour dough obsession that has sticking.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
In my life.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
But T and T weren't the only romance that made
headlines in twenty twenty five. Tay was there as bestie
Selena Gomez tied the knot to producer Betty Blanco in
a star studded ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. Zendeia also
made our jaws drop with a ring reveal at the
twenty twenty five Golden Globes in January, with the confirmation
coming later of the Euphoria stars engagement to Tom hollan And.
(25:00):
While the super private couple has stayed tight lipped about
their nuptials, her stylist Ala Roach quipped to E News
that he's resting.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Up for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
When the subject of Zendeia and Tom's big day was
broached twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Five, Well they really they click clack along here.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Some of this stuff I didn't really follow as closely
as they're following it. Best Lonely Island album Sabrina Carpenter's
Man's Best Friend, most Oppressing series and just like that accurate.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah, it's it's pretty rough.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Well, probably one of the worst finales of any television
show ever.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Spoilers With less than ten minutes remaining in the conclusion
of this beloved decades long franchise, a bathroom toilet overflowed
with excrement. This was caused by a very minor character
who appeared in just five episodes total, played by Victor Garber.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
His talent's wasted, they say.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh, he's terrific in everything, but yeah, the overflowing toilet
metaphor was a little on the notes.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeh.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Miranda Cynthia Nixon spent her final full scene on her
hands and knees cleaning it up. Wow one, I'm glad
I missed the most diabolical romance between meteorologist Austin Paul
(26:43):
Rudd and marketie exec Craig tim Robinson in Friendship Short Lived.
They would say it's cringy and awful, though dying from
secondhand embarrassment because men like Craig, men lacking any shared
social EQ or self awareness but still desperate to af
(27:05):
ford strong friendships, like any human, can't handle rejection.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
It takes a certain sense of humor. I was wondering
if Mark Ronner would like that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
The long Suffering One tried it and it looked like
he was going to be up her rally and she
warned me off ith.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I tried it, but no, have you seen The Knives Out? Mystery,
Wake Up Dead Man?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah? I liked it. I want to watch that.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's very long though, it's like two and a half hours.
It does not need to be as long as it is.
You just need to settle into the vibe and go
with it. No, there's some good stuff in it though,
And the character has really come into his own by
this point.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Ben wi Blanc, Yeah, he's really. What he does with
that character is super impressive. He's a brilliant actor. All right,
let's go back to you and see what they are.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Twenty twenty five was the year Katie Perry and Company
went viral within Out of this World star studded space flight.
The all female crew also included Blue Origin owner jeff Bezos'
is Beyonce Laurence Sanchez and Gail King. Twenty twenty five
marked a royal shake up as Prince Andrew relinquished his
royal title aid continued scrutiny into his relationship with the
(28:12):
late Jeffrey Epstein. The sixty five year old continues to
vigorously deny any wrongdoing. Twenty twenty five also marked the
end of an era for one of Hollywood's most beloved couples,
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who split in September after
nearly two decades together.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Sorry, the tough thing about that was, I was watching
entertainment tonight. You know, I never miss an episode, of course,
and as they did that story about them breaking up,
what do they do? They do tons? But I mean,
it felt like it was an endless stream of them
(28:49):
on red carpet, interviews, on morning shows, on every imaginable venue,
talking about how you have to work on your relationship.
The most important thing in our marriage is our marriage.
The most important thing in our lives is our marriage.
Working on the relationship relationships number one. I'm telling you
(29:09):
you'd see the two of them and one would say
half of that and the other would fill in the
other half. It was incredible, and it just you talk
about cringe worthy. I mean, it feels almost gratuitous, like
it feels like that's a late hit out of bounds
and you know they didn't work out. I mean to
show all of those different sound bites with them talking
about how the relationship is so great and how you
(29:33):
have to maintain it.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Well, when people talk about it that much, there's no
more of a harbinger of an impending breakup than getting
somebody's tattoo like on your face.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Right, yeah, you know it's just not gonna last probably right, Well,
you can make up your own list. Those are a
few of the highlights of twenty twenty five. We'll talk
to a National Weather Service meteorologis when we come back.
We'll get the latest the computer modeling changes every few hours.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
