Yeah, well that's okay. We got another chance tonight. They'll
get it. They'll get it.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Joe Hated a pretty good shop. Although I think that
Dave Roberts left him in a little bit too long.
I think they should you know, he was in the
seventh inning. Maybe pulled him after the sixth Although who
do they go to because everybody's exhausted from the one
hundred pictures that they went through the night before.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
But h yeah, it's okay, we got another chance today.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Also, I was driving in this morning and I'm wondering
what this is because I've been checking the wires and
googling it and nothing's coming up. But I was driving
in and I'm on the one thirty four west bound,
just west of the five, and something comes streaking across
the sky.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
And it was big.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It wasn't like a little tiny shooting star way far off.
It was big, and it kind of got it like
broke up right before it disappeared.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Don't know what it was. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I have no idea. We should call our friend Colonel
Nick Egg.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
There's a good excuse to call Nick hagg.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I know, see if Space Force knows anything about it, well.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
You know, something did hit that plane, the windshield of
that plane at like thirty six thousand feet and they
thought that was probably space junk, possibly the seven thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Who knows? Who know? You know, Where's where's George Norri
when we need him?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
He's at home to sleep.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now he's done for the day. Okay, here's what's ahead
on wake up call. The Blue Jays have tied up
the World Series, taking Game four at Dodger Stadium six
to two. Game five tonight, with the series tied at
two games apiece.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The loss last night.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Means the Dodgers will be playing again in Toronto. Game
six of the series is going to be on Halloween Night. Sorry,
trick or treaty treats, I'm going to be watching the game.
A red flag warning for extreme fire danger remains in
effect through six pm for the western San Gabriel Mountains,
Santa Susanna Mountains in southeastern Ventura County Valleys, when gus
(03:10):
expected up to forty miles per hour. Residents in the
red flag area are being advised to be prepared to
evacuate if a wildfire breaks out. Ag Robbonta is leading
a coalition of states suing the Trump administration. Is more
than forty two million people good loose SNAP benefits starting Saturday.
Funding runs out for the food aid programs due to
(03:32):
the government's shutdown, which enters its fifth week today. The
Senate failed to pass a short term spending bill for
the first thirteenth time yesterday. Delays are piling up at
airports across the US because of the air traffic controllers
who are working without pay during the shutdown. ABC's transportation
reporter Claire McMichael is going to join us to talk
(03:53):
about safety in the skies. I am super interested in
this as I am flying this evening, more cars that
drive them sells and searching for information is about to
get easier. We're going to find out the latest on
that with rich on Tech on KFI that's coming up
at five twenty.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Amy's on it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
An unsettling look at the prospect of oh, you know,
a nuclear bomb headed toward the US that's coming up
at the bottom of the hour. I'll let you know
if it's dynamite or a dud.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And also.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Right and wake up call went out and about for
our boot preview this week to an extreme Haunt could
be one of the freakiest places ever.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
If you like to be scared, you're gonna love this.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
We went to see the seventeenth Door and guess what,
we have a pair of tickets to give away to
it too.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So if you're ready to get scared, this is the place.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A red excuse me,
A red flag warning for critical fire conditions in effect
until six o'clock. The National Weather Services wins up to
forty miles per hour in low humidity or forecast for
as I mentioned the San Gabriel Mountains, as well as
southeastern Ventura County valleys and the Santa Susanta Mountains. Santa
(05:06):
Ana conditions expected a weekend later this week, with temperatures
falling slightly tomorrow and noticeably cooler conditions on Friday. Doctor
Ariel Cohen with the National Weather Services, the winds are
a real worry now again.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
The Santa Anna whims that really bring all these ingredients together,
especially in western Los Angeles and eastern Vanatura Counties.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Forecasters say some areas could see those wind guests about
forty miles an hour. La County has activated a plan
to help residents who risk losing their food stamp benefits.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
The government shutdown could cost the county three hundred and
twenty million dollars that funds cow Fresh each month. Acting
County CEO Joe Nikita says one and a half million
people will likely miss November's food stamp allocation.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Like even if they open the government today and then
put all the money back and snap, there are mechanical
and operational things that need to happen to get the
money into the cards.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
The county has committed ten million dollars to the lye
Re Regional Food Bank, and LA Care Health Plan has
ear marked five million dollars for grocery gift cards. Michael
Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Really, LA's made the list of the best cities in
America to celebrate Halloween.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
The top five best cities to celebrate Halloween are New York,
New Jersey, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Las Vegas. Anaheim came
in seventh. That's according to a new wallet Hub study,
which ranked the best hundred cities in the country to
celebrate Halloween in based on twenty metrics. Those include the
number of Halloween costume stores per capita, crime rate, trick
or treater friendliness, Halloween fun which is a bit vague,
(06:32):
and Halloween weather. Mark Ronner KFI News, Well.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
We definitely have the weather. Anaheim comes in number seventh.
It's got to be because of Disneyland. Let's say good
morning now to ABC's transportation reporter Claire McMichael.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Good morning, Claire.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Good morning, Amy. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
So, we're officially entering week five of the government shut down.
The effects are being felt not only by federal workers,
but people traveling around the US. So how bad of
the del he's gotten at airports because of the air
traffic controller shortages.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
So, right, it's day twenty nine of the shutdown, and
yesterday that's when you saw those air traffic controllers they
got their zero dollar paycheck for the first time of
the shutdown. So we have been seeing some controllers calling
out sick and that's been causing staffing triggers, which means
flights are essentially slowed down at various air traffic control
facilities across the country. The Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said
(07:29):
yesterday that twenty four percent of delays on Monday, forty
four percent of delays on Sunday were due to these
staffing triggers. And he said controllers won't be able to
make it if they missed two paychecks.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
That's if they don't have their emergency funds and that
kind of stuff, because they're going to get paid, it's
just a matter of they're going to have to wait
until after the shutdown.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Right, that's right, they will get paid after the shutdown.
But some of these folks are living paycheck to paycheck.
Some are you know, maybe making the only income in
their household, so as they deal with these expenses that
we all have to deal with, that's when you see
it gets through a breaking point. The Air Traffic Controller
Union president Nick Daniels, he said yesterday that hundreds of
(08:10):
controllers at this point have second jobs. Some are driving
for Uber and Instacart, and of course that number will
increase the longer the shutdown continues.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay and Clara, do we know that they are the workers,
the air traffic controllers calling out sick because they're trying
to make a point, or are they calling out sick
to go work somewhere else or do we really don't
know those numbers?
Speaker 8 (08:33):
You know, I'm sure it varies person by person. But
when you do have hundreds of people working at second jobs,
they may need to take some time off from the
job they are getting paid at. But it's of course
a tough choice. They risk losing their job as an
air traffic controller if they skip out too much, So
there are really hard choices that have to be made
(08:54):
right now.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Okay, and we know that.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You mentioned that there are shutdowns, or not shutdowns, but slowdowns,
and we're seeing those flight delays because of the air
traffic controller shortages. Do you like in a typical big
city do you know And I don't know if you
know the answer to this question, Clara, but do you know,
like how many people are typically working in a tower?
Is it like five people or twenty people or more?
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Well, it's you know, it varies depending on which tower,
which region, we're talking about, which airport. But Duffy gave
the example yesterday of Atlanta. Normally the towers stacked with
twenty five people. There were eleven people out sick. So yeah,
the even if a few call out six, the margins
(09:39):
are so thin with these controllers that it can make
a big impact.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And there were some controllers around several airports that were
handing out leaflets or something yesterday to travelers or this week.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
That's right. We saw controllers hand out leaflets at about
twenty airports yesterday. I myself, I've encountered a couple of
folks that LaGuardia passing out these pamphlets and they just
want to share how difficult these times are from them.
And we've heard stories like they may not be able
to sign their kids up for traveling fourteens because it's
just too expensive, or even worse, they may not be
(10:17):
able to get life saving medication for their daughters. So again,
that's when this discussion of taking a second job comes in,
just to make those ends meet.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, and there's no requirement, like I know that the
air traffic controllers are required to work, but are they
Is there any signs that anybody's getting fired for not
showing up? You said that that's a risk, but that
hasn't happened yet, has it.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
No, we have not seen that actually happen yet. A
couple of weeks ago, Secretary Duffy said that if you
don't show up, you won't get paid and you could
get fired. But you know that that was definitely a warning.
We haven't seen that actually occur, but it's definitely something
that these folks are going to factor into their decision.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, ABC's Clara MacMichael, thanks so much for the information.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Hope this has resolved soon.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Thank you. Good luck with your flight tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I might need it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I'm gonna be I haven't seen any delays yet, but
it's early in the day. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour Newsroom. Hurricane Melissa's made landfall in eastern Cuba as
a category three storm, down from a category five. The
National Hurricane Center in Miami says storm has top sustained
winds of one hundred and fifteen miles per hour early
this morning, it's moving northeast at about twelve miles per hour.
(11:32):
Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated sent to shelters.
Melissa's forecast to weaken as it crosses Cuba and remain
a strong hurricane as it moves across the southeastern or
central Bahamas later today. Melissa slammed into Jamaica yesterday. Miss
Meteorologist ginger Z says it could still cause flash flooding
there because of all the rain.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
There will be a.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Few more inches in Jamaica, but it's all about Cuba.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Two feet possible and then we kick it out. Bermuda
could see this Thursday into Friday.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
She says, it'll be at least a category two storm
by then, if not a little stronger. Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyah, who says he ordered news strikes on Gaza
because Hamas has violated the ceasefire agreement. ABC's Ian Pannell says.
Israel argues Hamas has not returned all the hostages bodies
in a timely matter and killed an IDF soldier in
(12:20):
an attack.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
According to the IDEF and according to promise to Nasenio,
you had a shooting at one of the IDF soldiers
who was patrolling the zone to which they have withdrawn.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hamas says at least fifty people were killed in overnight
air strikes and calls them a blatant violation of the
US broker ceasefire. A former bank robber who once toured
the Apollo Gallery at the Louver for a podcast says
he warned a museum official of weaknesses in security around
the Crown Jewels. David Disgloss says he told the Louver
representative years ago that the gallery's street facing windows and
(12:56):
nearby vitrines left treasures exposed to anyone and bold enough
to climb in.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The robbery just over a week ago has led.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
To increased scrutiny and questions about museum security. AI is
now doing your shopping online, but at what costs?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Shopping online is usually meant googling and comparing options before
you buy stuff. Last month, open Ai announced agreements with
companies including Etsy and Shopify, So if you're on open
AI's chat GBT platform, it'll scan your calendar and read
your emails and offer recommendations without being asked. You just
tap by now and it processes the payment and confirms delivery.
You do have to give up your personal info and
(13:33):
your choices based on agreements between Ai and those merchants,
which also means you may not be getting the best
product for the best price. But hey, it is super convenient.
Michael Krozer KFI News, mm I.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Don't like all that.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay win gus up to about forty miles per hour
with humidity dipping down to about five percent will keep
fire danger high through today in the Southland, a red
flag warning up for some mountain.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
And valley areas. The ex wife of the former Angels.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Peace we Are executive who's been convicted of providing the
fatal dose of fentanyl to picture Tyler Skaggs, took the
stand in the Skag's family lawsuit against the Angels. Kamala
Kay testified that while on a team flight with her
husband Eric, she saw Xanax and Perkoset being passed around
like candy while the players partied Boyle Heights getting a
(14:20):
pop up vote center. There are eleven hundred in person
voting centers around La County, but Supervisor Hill does Alice
learn that there were none in Boyle Heights.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
She's fixed that it opens on Saturday at.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Six oh Five's handle on the news. Some cracks in
the ceasefire? Are they enough to break the deal? Bill's
going to weigh in on that. Let's say good morning
now to the host of Rich on Tech on kfights
KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro, Good.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Morning, Rich, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Okay, we're talking more and more.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It seems like we've got stories every day about hey,
how AI is taking over and automation and all that
stuff and no need for people. And GM has a
new car that they're working on with eyes off driving.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, this was pretty wild. They had this unveiled at
an event in New York City last week. It's the
twenty twenty eight Cadillac IQ the Escalades. That's the big,
big version of their car, and what they're calling it
is eyes off autonomous driving. So this is driving that
literally lets you look away from the road while the
car can handle. For starters, highway driving. So they showed
(15:22):
the example of you know, go ahead, check your email,
watch white Lotus on the dashboard. It's kind of a
reality that we are not used to right now, because
of course you have to look at the road and
you have to keep your eyes on the road and
your eyes on the steering wheel. But they're using cameras, lidar,
radar to make this happen, and they're saying it's going
to give people back their time while they're on the
(15:44):
freeway to do other things.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So it's kind of like a weimo because if you
take a weeimo, there's nothing behind the wheel.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, it's kind of like your own personal weimo. The
big difference here is twofold number one. You know, you
you basically can only use this on the freeway. So
at for starters, whereas waymos right now in Los Angeles
at least are as far as I know, they're still
not on the freeway and they're only on the surface street,
so that's different. And then if you already have a GM,
(16:11):
you're like, well, rich, I already have Supercreus which I
can take my hands off the wheel. Yes, they've logged
seven hundred million miles with that Supercruse system, which people
are already using for the past couple of years. This
is a little bit different because you can go eyes
off the supercrus If you look away from your steering wheel,
you'll get some notifications. Hey hey, hey, look back at
the wheel. You've got to keep your eyes on the road.
(16:33):
This you can take your eyes off the road. Still
have three years before this happens, so a lot of
things can happen before then.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Okay, Then, staying kind of on the artificial intelligence lane
chat GPT.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
At list, it's a new browser. What's going to be
so great about this one?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, I've been testing this out and it's it's if
you love chat YOUBT, it's a it's a neat way
to surf the web. So this replaces Chrome basically, it's
built on Chrome, so a lot of your same extensions
and features will still work. But when you log it
up and open it, it is all CHATCHYBT. So when
you do a search, you're going to get that CHATBT search.
(17:12):
And the neat thing about it is that everything you
do on the web, you have CHATCHYBT on the right
hand side of your browsing window. What does that mean?
The neat thing is if you're looking at a web page,
you can cross reference that. So chatbt can actually, if
you think about it, see what's on that web page.
So if you're looking at a hotel or a movie
(17:33):
review or whatever you're doing, you can ask chatchubt about
that page. I found it to be really handy for
writing back to emails because it can see the original
email and you can say, hey, suggest a reply here,
and so that was really cool. The downside is that
if you like those Google blue links, like sometimes you
just want to get the link, it takes a couple
(17:53):
more clicks to do that with this browser. But it's
called chatchybt Atlas. If you love chatubt, you know, try
it out.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's free, okay, And so instead Richard, if I'm understanding you,
instead of just opening up the like I just opened
up and it says search Google or type a URL
and it's AI assisted when it gives you an answer,
but instead of opening up that window your app, opening up.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
The actual chat gpt atlas window correct.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
And it's kind of like twofold, like when you're doing
your regular searches, it's already chatchybt. But then you can
also have chatchubt always on the right hand side of
your browsing window, so it's just basically chatchybt all day,
every day. If you love it, it's great, but it's
you know, I still like traditional Google resort search results,
so I have not switched, but I've been testing it
(18:41):
and it's it's kind of fun, but I don't need
that summarized answer every single time.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And then for people who use open Table as they
make their dining reservations, this is kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
They're going to start offering some perks.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, they've got a new rewards program. And the reason
I tell you this is because you have to go
in and sign up for it, and there's a couple
of features that I think are pretty good. So number one,
go in there and sign up. If you use open Table,
it's called open Table Rewards. Just sign up for it.
I already have gold status already, Blu la la. You
(19:15):
get that. You get that after six reservations in a year,
so it's not automatic. You have to go in and
sign up. And yeah, it just clicked on for me.
And the neat thing about it, I don't know if
you use open table Amy, but the priority notification I
think is the best feature. So basically, if you are
looking for a last minute opening at a restaurant, if
you have Gold status, you'll get that text before the
(19:39):
other diners, which I think is really handy. So that's
number one. Number number two. You can also get six
months of Uber one membership for free, and then you
can rack up things like gift cards and Amazon gift
cards if you complete reservations through this through the platform
before I know, you got points. I just don't know
what those points did. So again, open Table, the little
(20:00):
program is called open Table Regular, not rewards, but it's you.
You get the rewards through it.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Okay, perfect, I might have to check that out. But
if you like to dine out, why not get a
little little something something back might as well, right okay.
Rich on Tech you can listen to him every Saturday
from eleven to two right here on KFI.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You can follow him at rich on Tech. You can
hear him live. Oh, as I mentioned Saturday from eleven
to two.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You can also see him on KTLA, follow him on Instagram,
and his website is rich on Tech dot tv and
he puts all the stuff that he talks about up
on his website so you can always reference it and
you don't even need chat GPT to do that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Rich tamiro thanks, let's go there.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Or get the newsletter. That's the best way to do it.
That's the best way.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Okay. You can sign up for the newsletter on that
on the website.
Speaker 2 (20:51):

Speaker 1 (23:39):
To crash through the front window of the storefronts. They
grabbed the goods and then took off and get away vehicles.
The Dodgers' offense couldn't deliver, and the Blue Jays topped
LA six to two in Game four of the World Series.
The series is now tied at two games apiece. Game
five happens tonight at Dodger Stadium. First pitch goes out
at five. You can listen to the game on AM
five seventy cale. I see at six o five. It's
(24:01):
handle on the news. California is leading the pack. Twenty
five states are suing the Trump administration over snap benefits.
They're going to be cut off on Saturday if this
government shutdown continues.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Aamie's on it.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Aami's on it, AMI's on it, Damie's on it?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
What am I on? I'm on the stream because there
is so much.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And I had plans to tell you about one show,
but then this other one I had. You know how
you can put it on your watch list and so
it pings you when a new show is released, and uh,
this one looked very interesting. It's directed by Catherine Bigelow.
It's called A House of Dynamite. It's on Netflix. Interestingly
(24:46):
written by Noah Oppenheim. Sounds like Oppenheimer, doesn't it? Uh,
Noah is apparently the president of NBC. Kind of an
ironic name. But it's about what happens if somebody launches
a nuclear bomb at the US. Right. That sounds like
fun and uplifting, doesn't it. Idris Elba plays the President.
(25:07):
Rebecca Ferguson's in it. She's the highest ranking official at
the White House in the situation room. You would recognize
her from Silo, which I love. I think they're coming
out with a new series of that soon. And also
she's from Doune. Several other actors are going to recognize.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
So, as I.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Mentioned, a nuclear missile is launched from somewhere, but they
can't confirm from where, which I also think is sort
of like, of course they can confirm from where. If
somebody launches a nuke, the US is going to know
where it came from. Several attempts are made to intercept it,
none of them are successful, and it's headed for the
US mainland. So how do we handle it? How do
(25:44):
we respond? That's kind of how the story unfolds, and
how does this affect other world powers? And what's the
world doing as the prospect of imminent nuclear detonation approaches?
So it gives one perspective and then it gives another
perspective and you go, hmmm, seems like that person said
(26:05):
that already, and then it gives you another perspective and
you go, hmm, it seems like earlier in the movie,
I saw that person saying that too. So it it's
like a lot of the same players interacting, and they
play the same scene out like four different times from
different people's perspectives. So I thought that that was kind
of weird and it got a little redundant. So it's
(26:26):
like they played out the same thirty minutes over and
over again, and it ends the same each time. But
how does it end, Well, that's kind of up in
the air. I saw an interview with Catherine Bigelow, who
directed it, and she said she wanted to make people
think about the absurdity of it all.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Well it did. It made me kind of think that
it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I mean, like, no one's going to win if there's
a nuclear war, So do you launch a counter strike?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Who do you.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Launch it against? And then if you launch against one,
they're going to launch against you and stuff. So it
does make you think.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
But it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's called the House of Dynamos on netflixing worth watching maybe,
but what's the point. And I know that a lot
of people have analyzed it and said, oh, hey, this
is really it's a discussion starter and all of this
kind of stuff, But I just thought it was kind
of eh.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I didn't love it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
But if you have a couple hours and you don't
want to get inspired or be happy or anything like that,
maybe this is the one for you. Okay, let's be
inspired and get happy and getting your business with Bloomberg's
Denise Pelgrady. On a more positive note, Denise, oh well
this isn't happy. The repo man apparently getting busier than ever.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah. I wanted to start with imagine all the people
living life in peace, But unfortunately, the used car industry
is experiencing difficulties of loan delinquency skyrocketing car repossessions revving
to the highest share since the Great Recession. According to
analysts by CEU, repossessions more than two point two million
vehicles amy already this year, forecast climbed to more than
(27:59):
three million before the year is over. Some people are
just struggling with inflation. Also, some splurge during COVID when
they got all that extra cash. Right now they can
no longer make the payments. And also higher car prices
means just a lot of people have car payments, you know,
seven hundred eight hundred thousand dollars a month that are
just way too bigger. So the repoman's busier than ever.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, we're getting busy at work, but it's not necessarily
doing work.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I'm sick of this too.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
And bosses are sick of people looking at cell phones
all the time, especially during meetings.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I admit, though I'm so guilty, you are bosses.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I know some people from past iteration. They would sit
in the meetings with their noses in the cell phones
all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Drive me crazy.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Some people keep the audio alert on too, so every
time someone texts them, it's pinging away. That's the worst bosses.
I mean, I kind of understand it too, to your point,
they hate it. Workers keep checking their phones in meetings.
So now bosses are doing things like implementing phone bands,
but doesn't seem to be working. Managers have even gone
so far now amy is to hide the Wi Fi
(29:04):
password and set up new fangled versions of that punitive
swear jar for those who check their text during team gatherings. Workers, though,
tell the Wall Street Channel they should be forgiven for
looking at their phones. They kind of rightfully point out
that the rules have changed, and since bosses expect staffers
to be connected at all hours, you know, this is
what they get. They're connected at all hours. When the
(29:25):
workers say the meetings should be more interesting, well there's
that too. I don't disagree with that at all. Okay,
even if you do get a.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Raise in this economy, apparently it's not going to be
what it used to be.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Wage gains have cooled. We're looking at some of the
lowest levels in more than a decade in terms of
people getting raises, and young workers are bearing the brunt
to this slow down. According to a report by JP
Mortgage Chase Institute, those age twenty five to twenty nine
herding the most. Their annual income growth amy slowed to
just five point two percent in September. That's one of
(29:59):
the slowest pace since twenty eleven, when the economy was
still recovering from the Great Recession. And you know how
raises are cumulative, right you get a two percent raise
or whatever, and then it builds in the coming years.
If you don't get that base, then you're starting with
the lower base. So that generation, you know, considers themselves
a little handicapped on the wage front.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Well, it's not only twenty five to twenty nine year old.
I can speak from experience.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Getting in your business as we do every day with
Denise Pellegrini, which is deliber boring. Thank you, Denise. We'll
talk to you again because we do this every day
at five forty. Thanks Denise, always pleasure. Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Tens of thousands of so Caledison customers still at risk
of losing power because of the high winds blowing through
southern California. The utility says about fifty one thousand customers
in La San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura counties could be affected.
La County supervisors have signed off on an eight hundred
and twenty eight million dollars settlement with over four hundred
plaintiffs who claim they were victims of childhood sexual abuse
(30:56):
at the hands of county workers. This and another four
billion dollar settlement with about eleven thousand claimants or crippling
the county forcing cuts to both spending in personnel Chpece
is drinking and driving on the spookiest night of the
year could lead to some scary consequences. The HP is
going to be doing a twelve hour maximum enforcement period,
deploying extra troopers on freeways, highways, and roadways starting at
(31:19):
six pm Friday. Okay, we've been to some scary places
and some not so scary places for the book preview
this year, and since it's right before Halloween, we wanted
to take the scare to the next level.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Our book review.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Took us to the seventeenth Door in Buena Park. Now,
I was told this place is not for you, Amy,
because they know I don't like to be scared. But
I figured, hey, I jumped off at twenty five story building,
I can handle a haunted house right right. We caught
up with the owner of the seventeenth Door, Heather Luther.
(31:55):
So Heather tell us how this experience is different than
any other haunted house in southern California.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Sure, well, it's.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
An extreme haunt for starters, so it is not hitting.
Speaker 10 (32:05):
It is considered an extreme haunt experience. It's extremely interactive
and immersive, kind of a lot of over the top effects
and stuff. It is an intense experience. It's thirty minutes long.
You're locked in each room for a given amount of time.
We cannot move faster than than the amount of time
we want you to go through. And there's a lot
(32:28):
of extreme things that happen. We have electric shocks, we
have live bugs, we have tranch plus, we have rooms
that spin three hundred and sixty degrees. We have you know, projectiles,
foam bullets.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
All kinds of stuff.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
Okay, and then let me I want to talk about
the room that spins because it is well over the top.
It was so cool though, Like that was one of
the least scary ones and Bullie was that fun right,
Like it's a feet of engineering to do that.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
I completely It actually took a while for them to build.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
The concept was there, but.
Speaker 10 (33:00):
It took a lot of troubleshooting to get that room
to work the way it does. Everything inside is very
highly technical, so it's not that they can accomplish like
a bill team. It's pretty amazing what they do in there. So, yeah,
that room spins all the way around with people in it,
it's very disorienting.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yes, yeah, absolutely decided you.
Speaker 11 (33:20):
Have people accompanying you in there that are just a
little bit frightening as well, correct us.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
There are some clowns jumping around.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, okay, and then let's talk about the wind tunnel too.
Speaker 10 (33:28):
That room is wow, yes, that is my favorite room
of this this year.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Is that new this year? We added it last year,
so okay, second year entirely wind tunnel.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
We clocked the wind speed that like one hundred and
ten or one hundred and twelve miles per hour, so
it is very strong with I don't know what level
hurricane at is, but it doesn't go I mean, it's
a little difficult to get through, and we have had people,
you know, tumble a little bit out, but.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I might have tumbled a little bit, just a little bit, but.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
It is that's just one of the extreme.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Things we do.
Speaker 10 (34:00):
Again, it's not someone jumping out and scaring you, but
it's trying to get through this tunnel of just like
high speed in so it's just a different effect and
of something new.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
And it was kind of cool because you know that.
Speaker 11 (34:10):
There are seventeen doors, so if you're going through the maze,
I'm like, okay, I've been through five, only eleven more.
And then when we got to fifteen, I was like, okay,
only three more. Y, that's a store.
Speaker 10 (34:22):
We get that a lot. I see customers and guess
inside that are like okay, okay, we're on.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
We got five more rooms.
Speaker 10 (34:28):
To go, just like you said. Or they're literally like
looking at the door numbers as they walk in and
counting them. Okay, we're at door ten. Guys, we're at
door ten. It's like an accomplishment to get through all seventeen. Yes,
but it's kind of fun for them to kind of
keep track of how many they've gone through and how
many they have left.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
So I will say it is scary, it is intense,
and if it gets to be too intense, or you're
like I didn't think.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I was gonna make it through, but I did.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You did.
Speaker 11 (34:49):
And there is a way that you can experience it
and not have it be quite as intense. Yes, and
that is with oh I lost my mercy netfoot that's okay, Well,
there's a mercy in here somewhere here it is there
is Okay, So there's that if you want to purchase
of mercy.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
That mercy pendit. Yeah, and this is a mercy pendant.
It protects you from the electric shocks and from coming
into contact with the bugs. Okay. And you could also
use the safe word mercy at any time to avoid
you know, have the actors back off or kind of
just be an observer in.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
The room and still going through it.
Speaker 11 (35:20):
Okay. And then I want to say, at the very
end of the seventeenth door and you go in, it
seems like a party, but it's not quite over yet
and we're not going to say anything more to see what.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Okay, Heather, thank you so much.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
This was surprisingly fun.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You're so well scared.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
I'm very proud of you.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
All Right.
Speaker 11 (35:38):
That's where we're out and about our boob review is
at seventeenth door.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You gotta check it out.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Like I said, it was surprisingly fun, also terrifying, Like
you go through the doors and I think I was
on after door number four. It was like hyperventilating. I mean,
it's like such an adrenaline rush, but it was.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
It was. It was really good.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
And it's got jump scares like other haunted houses, but
it's got other things going on aside from the jump scares,
and some of the experiences are just crazy open nightly
through Sunday. They do say you should go to the
website get your tickets ahead of time. It's the seventeenth Door,
And not to freak you out or anything, but the
(36:20):
first thing you do when you walk in the door
is there like get your waiver? Did you sign your waiver?
Did you sign your waiver? Okay, you can come in.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Is it like that sign above Space Mountain? You might
die on this thing?
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Oh no, they have this whole huge sign.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
It's on the interview that I'm about to post on
Instagram that says trigger warnings and it kind of lists
everything that you might experience. But do check out my video.
You can get a sneak peek at some of the scares.
I'm about to post it at Amy Kking on Instagram,
also on the wake Up Called Facebook page, and it'll
(36:54):
show up on the KFI Instagram too. That's at KFI
AM six forty. Of course they'd love it if you
follow me at Amy K King and do check it
out though. It's a cool experience. And congratulation to again
to Veronica Callen and Newport Beach because she just want
to pair tickets to go to it.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
It's going now through Sunday.
Speaker 1 (37:14):

Yeah, well that's okay. We got another chance tonight. They'll
get it. They'll get it.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Joe Hated a pretty good shop. Although I think that
Dave Roberts left him in a little bit too long.
I think they should you know, he was in the
seventh inning. Maybe pulled him after the sixth Although who
do they go to because everybody's exhausted from the one
hundred pictures that they went through the night before.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
But h yeah, it's okay, we got another chance today.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Also, I was driving in this morning and I'm wondering
what this is because I've been checking the wires and
googling it and nothing's coming up. But I was driving
in and I'm on the one thirty four west bound,
just west of the five, and something comes streaking across
the sky.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
And it was big.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It wasn't like a little tiny shooting star way far off.
It was big, and it kind of got it like
broke up right before it disappeared.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Don't know what it was. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I have no idea. We should call our friend Colonel
Nick Egg.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
There's a good excuse to call Nick hagg.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I know, see if Space Force knows anything about it, well.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
You know, something did hit that plane, the windshield of
that plane at like thirty six thousand feet and they
thought that was probably space junk, possibly the seven thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Who knows? Who know? You know, Where's where's George Norri
when we need him?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
He's at home to sleep.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now he's done for the day. Okay, here's what's ahead
on wake up call. The Blue Jays have tied up
the World Series, taking Game four at Dodger Stadium six
to two. Game five tonight, with the series tied at
two games apiece.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The loss last night.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Means the Dodgers will be playing again in Toronto. Game
six of the series is going to be on Halloween Night. Sorry,
trick or treaty treats, I'm going to be watching the game.
A red flag warning for extreme fire danger remains in
effect through six pm for the western San Gabriel Mountains,
Santa Susanna Mountains in southeastern Ventura County Valleys, when gus
(03:10):
expected up to forty miles per hour. Residents in the
red flag area are being advised to be prepared to
evacuate if a wildfire breaks out. Ag Robbonta is leading
a coalition of states suing the Trump administration. Is more
than forty two million people good loose SNAP benefits starting Saturday.
Funding runs out for the food aid programs due to
(03:32):
the government's shutdown, which enters its fifth week today. The
Senate failed to pass a short term spending bill for
the first thirteenth time yesterday. Delays are piling up at
airports across the US because of the air traffic controllers
who are working without pay during the shutdown. ABC's transportation
reporter Claire McMichael is going to join us to talk
(03:53):
about safety in the skies. I am super interested in
this as I am flying this evening, more cars that
drive them sells and searching for information is about to
get easier. We're going to find out the latest on
that with rich on Tech on KFI that's coming up
at five twenty.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Amy's on it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
An unsettling look at the prospect of oh, you know,
a nuclear bomb headed toward the US that's coming up
at the bottom of the hour. I'll let you know
if it's dynamite or a dud.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And also.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Right and wake up call went out and about for
our boot preview this week to an extreme Haunt could
be one of the freakiest places ever.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
If you like to be scared, you're gonna love this.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
We went to see the seventeenth Door and guess what,
we have a pair of tickets to give away to
it too.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So if you're ready to get scared, this is the place.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A red excuse me,
A red flag warning for critical fire conditions in effect
until six o'clock. The National Weather Services wins up to
forty miles per hour in low humidity or forecast for
as I mentioned the San Gabriel Mountains, as well as
southeastern Ventura County valleys and the Santa Susanta Mountains. Santa
(05:06):
Ana conditions expected a weekend later this week, with temperatures
falling slightly tomorrow and noticeably cooler conditions on Friday. Doctor
Ariel Cohen with the National Weather Services, the winds are
a real worry now again.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
The Santa Anna whims that really bring all these ingredients together,
especially in western Los Angeles and eastern Vanatura Counties.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Forecasters say some areas could see those wind guests about
forty miles an hour. La County has activated a plan
to help residents who risk losing their food stamp benefits.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
The government shutdown could cost the county three hundred and
twenty million dollars that funds cow Fresh each month. Acting
County CEO Joe Nikita says one and a half million
people will likely miss November's food stamp allocation.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Like even if they open the government today and then
put all the money back and snap, there are mechanical
and operational things that need to happen to get the
money into the cards.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
The county has committed ten million dollars to the lye
Re Regional Food Bank, and LA Care Health Plan has
ear marked five million dollars for grocery gift cards. Michael
Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Really, LA's made the list of the best cities in
America to celebrate Halloween.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
The top five best cities to celebrate Halloween are New York,
New Jersey, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Las Vegas. Anaheim came
in seventh. That's according to a new wallet Hub study,
which ranked the best hundred cities in the country to
celebrate Halloween in based on twenty metrics. Those include the
number of Halloween costume stores per capita, crime rate, trick
or treater friendliness, Halloween fun which is a bit vague,
(06:32):
and Halloween weather. Mark Ronner KFI News, Well.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
We definitely have the weather. Anaheim comes in number seventh.
It's got to be because of Disneyland. Let's say good
morning now to ABC's transportation reporter Claire McMichael.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Good morning, Claire.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Good morning, Amy. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
So, we're officially entering week five of the government shut down.
The effects are being felt not only by federal workers,
but people traveling around the US. So how bad of
the del he's gotten at airports because of the air
traffic controller shortages.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
So, right, it's day twenty nine of the shutdown, and
yesterday that's when you saw those air traffic controllers they
got their zero dollar paycheck for the first time of
the shutdown. So we have been seeing some controllers calling
out sick and that's been causing staffing triggers, which means
flights are essentially slowed down at various air traffic control
facilities across the country. The Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said
(07:29):
yesterday that twenty four percent of delays on Monday, forty
four percent of delays on Sunday were due to these
staffing triggers. And he said controllers won't be able to
make it if they missed two paychecks.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
That's if they don't have their emergency funds and that
kind of stuff, because they're going to get paid, it's
just a matter of they're going to have to wait
until after the shutdown.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Right, that's right, they will get paid after the shutdown.
But some of these folks are living paycheck to paycheck.
Some are you know, maybe making the only income in
their household, so as they deal with these expenses that
we all have to deal with, that's when you see
it gets through a breaking point. The Air Traffic Controller
Union president Nick Daniels, he said yesterday that hundreds of
(08:10):
controllers at this point have second jobs. Some are driving
for Uber and Instacart, and of course that number will
increase the longer the shutdown continues.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay and Clara, do we know that they are the workers,
the air traffic controllers calling out sick because they're trying
to make a point, or are they calling out sick
to go work somewhere else or do we really don't
know those numbers?
Speaker 8 (08:33):
You know, I'm sure it varies person by person. But
when you do have hundreds of people working at second jobs,
they may need to take some time off from the
job they are getting paid at. But it's of course
a tough choice. They risk losing their job as an
air traffic controller if they skip out too much, So
there are really hard choices that have to be made
(08:54):
right now.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Okay, and we know that.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You mentioned that there are shutdowns, or not shutdowns, but slowdowns,
and we're seeing those flight delays because of the air
traffic controller shortages. Do you like in a typical big
city do you know And I don't know if you
know the answer to this question, Clara, but do you know,
like how many people are typically working in a tower?
Is it like five people or twenty people or more?
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Well, it's you know, it varies depending on which tower,
which region, we're talking about, which airport. But Duffy gave
the example yesterday of Atlanta. Normally the towers stacked with
twenty five people. There were eleven people out sick. So yeah,
the even if a few call out six, the margins
(09:39):
are so thin with these controllers that it can make
a big impact.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And there were some controllers around several airports that were
handing out leaflets or something yesterday to travelers or this week.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
That's right. We saw controllers hand out leaflets at about
twenty airports yesterday. I myself, I've encountered a couple of
folks that LaGuardia passing out these pamphlets and they just
want to share how difficult these times are from them.
And we've heard stories like they may not be able
to sign their kids up for traveling fourteens because it's
just too expensive, or even worse, they may not be
(10:17):
able to get life saving medication for their daughters. So again,
that's when this discussion of taking a second job comes in,
just to make those ends meet.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, and there's no requirement, like I know that the
air traffic controllers are required to work, but are they
Is there any signs that anybody's getting fired for not
showing up? You said that that's a risk, but that
hasn't happened yet, has it.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
No, we have not seen that actually happen yet. A
couple of weeks ago, Secretary Duffy said that if you
don't show up, you won't get paid and you could
get fired. But you know that that was definitely a warning.
We haven't seen that actually occur, but it's definitely something
that these folks are going to factor into their decision.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, ABC's Clara MacMichael, thanks so much for the information.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Hope this has resolved soon.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Thank you. Good luck with your flight tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I might need it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I'm gonna be I haven't seen any delays yet, but
it's early in the day. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour Newsroom. Hurricane Melissa's made landfall in eastern Cuba as
a category three storm, down from a category five. The
National Hurricane Center in Miami says storm has top sustained
winds of one hundred and fifteen miles per hour early
this morning, it's moving northeast at about twelve miles per hour.
(11:32):
Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated sent to shelters.
Melissa's forecast to weaken as it crosses Cuba and remain
a strong hurricane as it moves across the southeastern or
central Bahamas later today. Melissa slammed into Jamaica yesterday. Miss
Meteorologist ginger Z says it could still cause flash flooding
there because of all the rain.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
There will be a.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Few more inches in Jamaica, but it's all about Cuba.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Two feet possible and then we kick it out. Bermuda
could see this Thursday into Friday.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
She says, it'll be at least a category two storm
by then, if not a little stronger. Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyah, who says he ordered news strikes on Gaza
because Hamas has violated the ceasefire agreement. ABC's Ian Pannell says.
Israel argues Hamas has not returned all the hostages bodies
in a timely matter and killed an IDF soldier in
(12:20):
an attack.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
According to the IDEF and according to promise to Nasenio,
you had a shooting at one of the IDF soldiers
who was patrolling the zone to which they have withdrawn.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hamas says at least fifty people were killed in overnight
air strikes and calls them a blatant violation of the
US broker ceasefire. A former bank robber who once toured
the Apollo Gallery at the Louver for a podcast says
he warned a museum official of weaknesses in security around
the Crown Jewels. David Disgloss says he told the Louver
representative years ago that the gallery's street facing windows and
(12:56):
nearby vitrines left treasures exposed to anyone and bold enough
to climb in.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The robbery just over a week ago has led.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
To increased scrutiny and questions about museum security. AI is
now doing your shopping online, but at what costs?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Shopping online is usually meant googling and comparing options before
you buy stuff. Last month, open Ai announced agreements with
companies including Etsy and Shopify, So if you're on open
AI's chat GBT platform, it'll scan your calendar and read
your emails and offer recommendations without being asked. You just
tap by now and it processes the payment and confirms delivery.
You do have to give up your personal info and
(13:33):
your choices based on agreements between Ai and those merchants,
which also means you may not be getting the best
product for the best price. But hey, it is super convenient.
Michael Krozer KFI News, mm I.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Peace we Are executive who's been convicted of providing the
fatal dose of fentanyl to picture Tyler Skaggs, took the
stand in the Skag's family lawsuit against the Angels. Kamala
Kay testified that while on a team flight with her
husband Eric, she saw Xanax and Perkoset being passed around
like candy while the players partied Boyle Heights getting a
(14:20):
pop up vote center. There are eleven hundred in person
voting centers around La County, but Supervisor Hill does Alice
learn that there were none in Boyle Heights.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
She's fixed that it opens on Saturday at.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Six oh Five's handle on the news. Some cracks in
the ceasefire? Are they enough to break the deal? Bill's
going to weigh in on that. Let's say good morning
now to the host of Rich on Tech on kfights
KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro, Good.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Morning, Rich, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Okay, we're talking more and more.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It seems like we've got stories every day about hey,
how AI is taking over and automation and all that
stuff and no need for people. And GM has a
new car that they're working on with eyes off driving.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, this was pretty wild. They had this unveiled at
an event in New York City last week. It's the
twenty twenty eight Cadillac IQ the Escalades. That's the big,
big version of their car, and what they're calling it
is eyes off autonomous driving. So this is driving that
literally lets you look away from the road while the
car can handle. For starters, highway driving. So they showed
(15:22):
the example of you know, go ahead, check your email,
watch white Lotus on the dashboard. It's kind of a
reality that we are not used to right now, because
of course you have to look at the road and
you have to keep your eyes on the road and
your eyes on the steering wheel. But they're using cameras, lidar,
radar to make this happen, and they're saying it's going
to give people back their time while they're on the
(15:44):
freeway to do other things.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So it's kind of like a weimo because if you
take a weeimo, there's nothing behind the wheel.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, it's kind of like your own personal weimo. The
big difference here is twofold number one. You know, you
you basically can only use this on the freeway. So
at for starters, whereas waymos right now in Los Angeles
at least are as far as I know, they're still
not on the freeway and they're only on the surface street,
so that's different. And then if you already have a GM,
(16:11):
you're like, well, rich, I already have Supercreus which I
can take my hands off the wheel. Yes, they've logged
seven hundred million miles with that Supercruse system, which people
are already using for the past couple of years. This
is a little bit different because you can go eyes
off the supercrus If you look away from your steering wheel,
you'll get some notifications. Hey hey, hey, look back at
the wheel. You've got to keep your eyes on the road.
(16:33):
This you can take your eyes off the road. Still
have three years before this happens, so a lot of
things can happen before then.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Okay, Then, staying kind of on the artificial intelligence lane
chat GPT.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
At list, it's a new browser. What's going to be
so great about this one?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, I've been testing this out and it's it's if
you love chat YOUBT, it's a it's a neat way
to surf the web. So this replaces Chrome basically, it's
built on Chrome, so a lot of your same extensions
and features will still work. But when you log it
up and open it, it is all CHATCHYBT. So when
you do a search, you're going to get that CHATBT search.
(17:12):
And the neat thing about it is that everything you
do on the web, you have CHATCHYBT on the right
hand side of your browsing window. What does that mean?
The neat thing is if you're looking at a web page,
you can cross reference that. So chatbt can actually, if
you think about it, see what's on that web page.
So if you're looking at a hotel or a movie
(17:33):
review or whatever you're doing, you can ask chatchubt about
that page. I found it to be really handy for
writing back to emails because it can see the original
email and you can say, hey, suggest a reply here,
and so that was really cool. The downside is that
if you like those Google blue links, like sometimes you
just want to get the link, it takes a couple
(17:53):
more clicks to do that with this browser. But it's
called chatchybt Atlas. If you love chatubt, you know, try
it out.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's free, okay, And so instead Richard, if I'm understanding you,
instead of just opening up the like I just opened
up and it says search Google or type a URL
and it's AI assisted when it gives you an answer,
but instead of opening up that window your app, opening up.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
The actual chat gpt atlas window correct.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
And it's kind of like twofold, like when you're doing
your regular searches, it's already chatchybt. But then you can
also have chatchubt always on the right hand side of
your browsing window, so it's just basically chatchybt all day,
every day. If you love it, it's great, but it's
you know, I still like traditional Google resort search results,
so I have not switched, but I've been testing it
(18:41):
and it's it's kind of fun, but I don't need
that summarized answer every single time.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And then for people who use open Table as they
make their dining reservations, this is kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
They're going to start offering some perks.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, they've got a new rewards program. And the reason
I tell you this is because you have to go
in and sign up for it, and there's a couple
of features that I think are pretty good. So number one,
go in there and sign up. If you use open Table,
it's called open Table Rewards. Just sign up for it.
I already have gold status already, Blu la la. You
(19:15):
get that. You get that after six reservations in a year,
so it's not automatic. You have to go in and
sign up. And yeah, it just clicked on for me.
And the neat thing about it, I don't know if
you use open table Amy, but the priority notification I
think is the best feature. So basically, if you are
looking for a last minute opening at a restaurant, if
you have Gold status, you'll get that text before the
(19:39):
other diners, which I think is really handy. So that's
number one. Number number two. You can also get six
months of Uber one membership for free, and then you
can rack up things like gift cards and Amazon gift
cards if you complete reservations through this through the platform
before I know, you got points. I just don't know
what those points did. So again, open Table, the little
(20:00):
program is called open Table Regular, not rewards, but it's you.
You get the rewards through it.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Okay, perfect, I might have to check that out. But
if you like to dine out, why not get a
little little something something back might as well, right okay.
Rich on Tech you can listen to him every Saturday
from eleven to two right here on KFI.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You can follow him at rich on Tech. You can
hear him live. Oh, as I mentioned Saturday from eleven
to two.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You can also see him on KTLA, follow him on Instagram,
and his website is rich on Tech dot tv and
he puts all the stuff that he talks about up
on his website so you can always reference it and
you don't even need chat GPT to do that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Rich tamiro thanks, let's go there.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Or get the newsletter. That's the best way to do it.
That's the best way.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Okay. You can sign up for the newsletter on that
on the website.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Rich on tech dot TV. So help Saturday mornings.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Thank you, Rich.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
All right, Amy, take care Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
The federal government shutdown into day twenty nine. Many Americans
who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP,
are set to lose their benefits next month. A mother
of five, Dana Tuler, who's working three jobs in Michigan, says,
lawyers or not, lawyers, lawmakers need to figure this one out.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Meet in the middle, shake some hands. I got to
do is go across the aisle and shake hand.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
A vote in the Senate yesterday again did not get
the numbers needed to end the shutdown. It was the
thirteenth time they had voted and the measure did not pass.
The mother of a two year old boy in Palmdale
that authorities say died from ingesting fentanel has pleaded not
guilty to murder and abuse charges and a Flora's son,
Angel died November seventh, twenty twenty three, after being found
(21:40):
unresponsive in his home. The medical examiner says the death
was an accident. She'll be in court again next on
December eighth. A newborn girl has been found dead near
usc ABC's Alex Stone says the baby's body was found
early Monday at a student housing apartment complex.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
PA say the investigation is for an undetermined and death
pending the medical examiner's investigation. An exam on the baby's
body is still pending.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
La County Medical Examiner says the baby was just nineteen
hours old when she died. The mayor of Coachell has
been arrested on felony charges of perjury and conflict of interest.
Stephen Hernandez was arrested yesterday by the Riverside County DA's office.
A spokesperson for the city says they are aware of
allegations against Hernandez and the city's administration is cooperating with authorities.
(22:28):
She says Hernandez remains the mayor and has not communicated
any intention to resign. He's doing court tomorrow. Well darn
not the outcome we'd hope for last night, the Dodgers
felled to the Blue Jays six to two. Show Hey
may have stayed in the game just a little too long.
Now we're tied at two games each Game five is
on tap for tonight. The boys in Blue can jump
(22:50):
ahead again. It's time for World Series Dodger Baseball Game
five at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
The first pitch goes out at five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You can listen all the games on AM five to
seventy LA Sports and the iHeartRadio app Brought to you
by Strauss, the official workware partner of Major League Baseball.
A large tree has crushed several vehicles it fell over
in Sherman Oaks. The tree came down on Sunny Slope
and Houston Avenues. Along with crushing the cars, it apparently
snapped several electrical wires. According to reports from the scene,
(23:23):
three men and three others under eighteen have been arrested
in a string of commercial burglaries in which more than
two and a half million dollars worth of high end
eyeglasses and sunglasses were stolen in LA and Orange Counties.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Polisse. The crew used stolen SUVs.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
To crash through the front window of the storefronts. They
grabbed the goods and then took off and get away vehicles.
The Dodgers' offense couldn't deliver, and the Blue Jays topped
LA six to two in Game four of the World Series.
The series is now tied at two games apiece. Game
five happens tonight at Dodger Stadium. First pitch goes out
at five. You can listen to the game on AM
five seventy cale. I see at six o five. It's
(24:01):
handle on the news. California is leading the pack. Twenty
five states are suing the Trump administration over snap benefits.
They're going to be cut off on Saturday if this
government shutdown continues.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Aamie's on it.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Aami's on it, AMI's on it, Damie's on it?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
What am I on? I'm on the stream because there
is so much.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And I had plans to tell you about one show,
but then this other one I had. You know how
you can put it on your watch list and so
it pings you when a new show is released, and uh,
this one looked very interesting. It's directed by Catherine Bigelow.
It's called A House of Dynamite. It's on Netflix. Interestingly
(24:46):
written by Noah Oppenheim. Sounds like Oppenheimer, doesn't it? Uh,
Noah is apparently the president of NBC. Kind of an
ironic name. But it's about what happens if somebody launches
a nuclear bomb at the US. Right. That sounds like
fun and uplifting, doesn't it. Idris Elba plays the President.
(25:07):
Rebecca Ferguson's in it. She's the highest ranking official at
the White House in the situation room. You would recognize
her from Silo, which I love. I think they're coming
out with a new series of that soon. And also
she's from Doune. Several other actors are going to recognize.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
So, as I.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Mentioned, a nuclear missile is launched from somewhere, but they
can't confirm from where, which I also think is sort
of like, of course they can confirm from where. If
somebody launches a nuke, the US is going to know
where it came from. Several attempts are made to intercept it,
none of them are successful, and it's headed for the
US mainland. So how do we handle it? How do
(25:44):
we respond? That's kind of how the story unfolds, and
how does this affect other world powers? And what's the
world doing as the prospect of imminent nuclear detonation approaches?
So it gives one perspective and then it gives another
perspective and you go, hmmm, seems like that person said
(26:05):
that already, and then it gives you another perspective and
you go, hmm, it seems like earlier in the movie,
I saw that person saying that too. So it it's
like a lot of the same players interacting, and they
play the same scene out like four different times from
different people's perspectives. So I thought that that was kind
of weird and it got a little redundant. So it's
(26:26):
like they played out the same thirty minutes over and
over again, and it ends the same each time. But
how does it end, Well, that's kind of up in
the air. I saw an interview with Catherine Bigelow, who
directed it, and she said she wanted to make people
think about the absurdity of it all.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Well it did. It made me kind of think that
it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I mean, like, no one's going to win if there's
a nuclear war, So do you launch a counter strike?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Who do you.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Launch it against? And then if you launch against one,
they're going to launch against you and stuff. So it
does make you think.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
But it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's called the House of Dynamos on netflixing worth watching maybe,
but what's the point. And I know that a lot
of people have analyzed it and said, oh, hey, this
is really it's a discussion starter and all of this
kind of stuff, But I just thought it was kind
of eh.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I didn't love it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
But if you have a couple hours and you don't
want to get inspired or be happy or anything like that,
maybe this is the one for you. Okay, let's be
inspired and get happy and getting your business with Bloomberg's
Denise Pelgrady. On a more positive note, Denise, oh well
this isn't happy. The repo man apparently getting busier than ever.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah. I wanted to start with imagine all the people
living life in peace, But unfortunately, the used car industry
is experiencing difficulties of loan delinquency skyrocketing car repossessions revving
to the highest share since the Great Recession. According to
analysts by CEU, repossessions more than two point two million
vehicles amy already this year, forecast climbed to more than
(27:59):
three million before the year is over. Some people are
just struggling with inflation. Also, some splurge during COVID when
they got all that extra cash. Right now they can
no longer make the payments. And also higher car prices
means just a lot of people have car payments, you know,
seven hundred eight hundred thousand dollars a month that are
just way too bigger. So the repoman's busier than ever.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, we're getting busy at work, but it's not necessarily
doing work.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I'm sick of this too.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
And bosses are sick of people looking at cell phones
all the time, especially during meetings.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I admit, though I'm so guilty, you are bosses.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I know some people from past iteration. They would sit
in the meetings with their noses in the cell phones
all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Drive me crazy.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Some people keep the audio alert on too, so every
time someone texts them, it's pinging away. That's the worst bosses.
I mean, I kind of understand it too, to your point,
they hate it. Workers keep checking their phones in meetings.
So now bosses are doing things like implementing phone bands,
but doesn't seem to be working. Managers have even gone
so far now amy is to hide the Wi Fi
(29:04):
password and set up new fangled versions of that punitive
swear jar for those who check their text during team gatherings. Workers, though,
tell the Wall Street Channel they should be forgiven for
looking at their phones. They kind of rightfully point out
that the rules have changed, and since bosses expect staffers
to be connected at all hours, you know, this is
what they get. They're connected at all hours. When the
(29:25):
workers say the meetings should be more interesting, well there's
that too. I don't disagree with that at all. Okay,
even if you do get a.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Raise in this economy, apparently it's not going to be
what it used to be.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Wage gains have cooled. We're looking at some of the
lowest levels in more than a decade in terms of
people getting raises, and young workers are bearing the brunt
to this slow down. According to a report by JP
Mortgage Chase Institute, those age twenty five to twenty nine
herding the most. Their annual income growth amy slowed to
just five point two percent in September. That's one of
(29:59):
the slowest pace since twenty eleven, when the economy was
still recovering from the Great Recession. And you know how
raises are cumulative, right you get a two percent raise
or whatever, and then it builds in the coming years.
If you don't get that base, then you're starting with
the lower base. So that generation, you know, considers themselves
a little handicapped on the wage front.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Well, it's not only twenty five to twenty nine year old.
I can speak from experience.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Getting in your business as we do every day with
Denise Pellegrini, which is deliber boring. Thank you, Denise. We'll
talk to you again because we do this every day
at five forty. Thanks Denise, always pleasure. Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Tens of thousands of so Caledison customers still at risk
of losing power because of the high winds blowing through
southern California. The utility says about fifty one thousand customers
in La San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura counties could be affected.
La County supervisors have signed off on an eight hundred
and twenty eight million dollars settlement with over four hundred
plaintiffs who claim they were victims of childhood sexual abuse
(30:56):
at the hands of county workers. This and another four
billion dollar settlement with about eleven thousand claimants or crippling
the county forcing cuts to both spending in personnel Chpece
is drinking and driving on the spookiest night of the
year could lead to some scary consequences. The HP is
going to be doing a twelve hour maximum enforcement period,
deploying extra troopers on freeways, highways, and roadways starting at
(31:19):
six pm Friday. Okay, we've been to some scary places
and some not so scary places for the book preview
this year, and since it's right before Halloween, we wanted
to take the scare to the next level.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Our book review.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Took us to the seventeenth Door in Buena Park. Now,
I was told this place is not for you, Amy,
because they know I don't like to be scared. But
I figured, hey, I jumped off at twenty five story building,
I can handle a haunted house right right. We caught
up with the owner of the seventeenth Door, Heather Luther.
(31:55):
So Heather tell us how this experience is different than
any other haunted house in southern California.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Sure, well, it's.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
An extreme haunt for starters, so it is not hitting.
Speaker 10 (32:05):
It is considered an extreme haunt experience. It's extremely interactive
and immersive, kind of a lot of over the top effects
and stuff. It is an intense experience. It's thirty minutes long.
You're locked in each room for a given amount of time.
We cannot move faster than than the amount of time
we want you to go through. And there's a lot
(32:28):
of extreme things that happen. We have electric shocks, we
have live bugs, we have tranch plus, we have rooms
that spin three hundred and sixty degrees. We have you know, projectiles,
foam bullets.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
All kinds of stuff.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
Okay, and then let me I want to talk about
the room that spins because it is well over the top.
It was so cool though, Like that was one of
the least scary ones and Bullie was that fun right,
Like it's a feet of engineering to do that.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
I completely It actually took a while for them to build.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
The concept was there, but.
Speaker 10 (33:00):
It took a lot of troubleshooting to get that room
to work the way it does. Everything inside is very
highly technical, so it's not that they can accomplish like
a bill team. It's pretty amazing what they do in there. So, yeah,
that room spins all the way around with people in it,
it's very disorienting.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yes, yeah, absolutely decided you.
Speaker 11 (33:20):
Have people accompanying you in there that are just a
little bit frightening as well, correct us.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
There are some clowns jumping around.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, okay, and then let's talk about the wind tunnel too.
Speaker 10 (33:28):
That room is wow, yes, that is my favorite room
of this this year.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Is that new this year? We added it last year,
so okay, second year entirely wind tunnel.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
We clocked the wind speed that like one hundred and
ten or one hundred and twelve miles per hour, so
it is very strong with I don't know what level
hurricane at is, but it doesn't go I mean, it's
a little difficult to get through, and we have had people,
you know, tumble a little bit out, but.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I might have tumbled a little bit, just a little bit, but.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
It is that's just one of the extreme.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Things we do.
Speaker 10 (34:00):
Again, it's not someone jumping out and scaring you, but
it's trying to get through this tunnel of just like
high speed in so it's just a different effect and
of something new.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
And it was kind of cool because you know that.
Speaker 11 (34:10):
There are seventeen doors, so if you're going through the maze,
I'm like, okay, I've been through five, only eleven more.
And then when we got to fifteen, I was like, okay,
only three more. Y, that's a store.
Speaker 10 (34:22):
We get that a lot. I see customers and guess
inside that are like okay, okay, we're on.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
We got five more rooms.
Speaker 10 (34:28):
To go, just like you said. Or they're literally like
looking at the door numbers as they walk in and
counting them. Okay, we're at door ten. Guys, we're at
door ten. It's like an accomplishment to get through all seventeen. Yes,
but it's kind of fun for them to kind of
keep track of how many they've gone through and how
many they have left.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
So I will say it is scary, it is intense,
and if it gets to be too intense, or you're
like I didn't think.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I was gonna make it through, but I did.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You did.
Speaker 11 (34:49):
And there is a way that you can experience it
and not have it be quite as intense. Yes, and
that is with oh I lost my mercy netfoot that's okay, Well,
there's a mercy in here somewhere here it is there
is Okay, So there's that if you want to purchase
of mercy.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
That mercy pendit. Yeah, and this is a mercy pendant.
It protects you from the electric shocks and from coming
into contact with the bugs. Okay. And you could also
use the safe word mercy at any time to avoid
you know, have the actors back off or kind of
just be an observer in.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
The room and still going through it.
Speaker 11 (35:20):
Okay. And then I want to say, at the very
end of the seventeenth door and you go in, it
seems like a party, but it's not quite over yet
and we're not going to say anything more to see what.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Okay, Heather, thank you so much.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
This was surprisingly fun.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You're so well scared.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
I'm very proud of you.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
All Right.
Speaker 11 (35:38):
That's where we're out and about our boob review is
at seventeenth door.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You gotta check it out.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Like I said, it was surprisingly fun, also terrifying, Like
you go through the doors and I think I was
on after door number four. It was like hyperventilating. I mean,
it's like such an adrenaline rush, but it was.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
It was. It was really good.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
And it's got jump scares like other haunted houses, but
it's got other things going on aside from the jump scares,
and some of the experiences are just crazy open nightly
through Sunday. They do say you should go to the
website get your tickets ahead of time. It's the seventeenth Door,
And not to freak you out or anything, but the
(36:20):
first thing you do when you walk in the door
is there like get your waiver? Did you sign your waiver?
Did you sign your waiver? Okay, you can come in.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Is it like that sign above Space Mountain? You might
die on this thing?
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Oh no, they have this whole huge sign.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
It's on the interview that I'm about to post on
Instagram that says trigger warnings and it kind of lists
everything that you might experience. But do check out my video.
You can get a sneak peek at some of the scares.
I'm about to post it at Amy Kking on Instagram,
also on the wake Up Called Facebook page, and it'll
(36:54):

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
