Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. California is suing
the federal government to keep food aid flowing to millions
as the shutdown threatened snap benefits. Starting November first, more
(02:03):
than forty two million Americans could lose access to food assistants,
and a specialized La County fire rescue team is headed
to Jamaica to help after Hurricane Melissa and King Charles
the Third has stripped Prince Andrew of his remaining titles
and evicted him from his royal residence after renewed outrage
over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Here's what's ahead on
wake Up Call. As the federal government shut down drags on,
(02:26):
millions of families who depend on that food assistance could
see their benefits vanish. We're going to talk to Bethany

six oh five Handle on the news. Ali firefighters say
they were ordered to leave a still smoldering brush fire
when it reignited into the Palisades fire five days later.
We're going to tell you who gave the order and why.
(03:42):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The South LA
family is safer after two arson is set there West
Adams home on fire in the middle of the night.
Surveillo's video shows the suspects dousing the house with gasoline
before a massive explosion. The FBI is investigating a second
ICE involved shooting in Soca Wow.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
The shooting happened Thursday morning. In Ontario. Officials say they
tried conducting a traffic stop on Vineyard Avenue when the
driver reversed his vehicle directly at ICE agents. The driver
reportedly was not the target for ICE agents at the time,
but fearing for their safety, the agents opened fire. The
Ontario Police Department says it responded to a request for
emergency assistance from DHS officers, but were not involved in
(04:22):
the shooting. Recently, ICE officers fired at a man in
South Los Angeles. Demand in an agent. We're hurt, but
both are expected to recover. Tammy trihellok f I News.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Let's go to a crash on a sixty in Montabello.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, we've got some said traffic there.
Speaker 9 (04:36):
This happened in the three am hour. The two right
lanes are blocked sixty westbound right before Garfield. That's an
injury crash in the two right lanes and it's probably
our slowest spot out there. Ninety one eastbound the eastbound
side as you try to transition to the two fifteen south,
something's burning on the right side of the roadway there,
so watch up for that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's just mostly a distraction for you as a driver.
Speaker 9 (04:56):
And on the northbound side of the five at Culver Bulevard,
the one in Orange County, there's an overturned vehicle there.
They're trying to mop that one up. Overall, it's Friday
morning light, So enjoy from the hype with LA's most
What am I doing with Southern California's most Accurate Traffic
Report sign with a cool Schreiber.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
It's the costume that's throwing you off, isn't it. Oh,
don't you worry. We'll get it going all right. Let's
get over to some news this morning. The ongoing government
shutdown is putting real pressure on millions of Americans, especially
families who rely on SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Joining me now is ABC's Bethany Bronze Silva, who's been
covering the human toll behind the numbers. Good morning, Bethany,
(05:35):
good morning, Thank you for having me. Let's get started
with some of the basics. How many people could be
affected if SNAP benefits are disrupted next week.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I mean, we're looking at numbers into the hundreds of thousands.
And you know, even though we don't officially know what's
going to come down as of November first, this is
already causing so much stress and worry, and families who
rely on these benefits. Anti hunger organizations like No Kid
Hungry and Feeding America or reporting that they're seeing an
optic and people reaching out in all of their their
(06:07):
hotlines and their emails. And it's really because you know,
children that we're here to talk about. Really is the kids, right?
They're incredibly perceptive. Even before they sort of understand what's happening,
they can send stress in the household, changes in tone
and routines or how meals are handled.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
So now I understand you've spoken with some of the
families who rely on this program, and what are they
telling you about the uncertainty that they're feeling right now.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I've actually spoken to experts like pediatricians and psychologists who
have spoken to families, and you know, people are worried
and what they're telling them to sort of script or
tell their kids, and really, we don't want to transfer
any of that stress that adults might be feeling to
the kids is to really keep It's okay to be honest,
but you want to keep it simple and calm, telling
(06:52):
kids like things might look different around meal time right now,
but will always make sure you have what you need.
For older kids, you can explain and that this isn't
a parent's fault. This is a result of a government shutdown.
So the really the goal here is to reassure, not overwhelm.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
So beyond this sort of initial crisis that we're experiencing
or that they're going to be experiencing right now, what
are the experts saying about the long term effects uefit's
are delayed or stopped altogether.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, so you know, food banks they are working overdrive
right now. So you know, it's hard to speak of
the long term effects about hunger, but we can I
can definitely talk to you about like the long term
effects on a child's mental health. You know, chronic worry
about food can lead to anxiety, sleep issues, or even changes,
you know, extreme changes like hoarding or restricting food. So
(07:44):
if that happens, you need to speak to your child's
pediatrician right away. They connect can connect you with counseling
or additional support and early intervention here can make a
huge difference. And just to you know, I did, I
did speak to the head of Feeding America and she
pointed out to me for every meal that they provide,
SNAP provides nine. So if we try to keep it
in that perspective, this really is. It is a huge
(08:07):
crisis that is looming.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
I I interviewed local food banks here in the southern
California area and they are talking about dipping into their reserves.
They are asking for the public's help, you know, in
many different ways. And for those of the people out
there who want to help, what is the most effective
way to support families or local food programs right now?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, I would say definitely go to the local level, churches,
religious organizations, schools. You know, there are lots of local
organizations that are taking not only donations of food, but
monetary donations, those seem to go the fastest. If you're
looking for help, you can text two one one or
visit two one one dot org to connect with local food, housing,
and utility to support, and also the American American Academy
(08:56):
of Pediatrics AAP dot org also lists emergency food resources
for families in need. And you know, it's never a
better time or you know, a bouck to be in November,
the month of Thanksgiving, giving back feeling grateful. So if
you aren't a family who might be experienced experiencing this
sort of looming food insecurity, then please, you know, donate,
donate your time, do it as a family. It really
(09:17):
is a lifelong you know, lesson and great way to
give back in this much needed moment.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Okay, Bethany, thank you so much for your time this morning,
and happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As
you heard, is discussing the federal shutdown is now in
its thirty first day and with the Senate off until Monday,
no action is expected this weekend. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program or SNAP runs out tomorrow. Republicans want a short
term fix, but Democrats also want to address healthcare subsidies
(09:50):
and Medicaid cuts. House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrey says Republicans
could continue to fund SNAP with contingencies, but refuse Publicans.
Speaker 10 (10:00):
From the very beginning of this presidency, cruelty has been
the point.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
House Speaker Mike Johnson says there's no legal mechanism to
turn on the contingency fund. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles
are investigating whether the leaders of the Black Lives Global
Network Foundation misused millions in donations raised after George Floyd's death.
The group denies wrongdoing and says it remains committed to transparency.
(10:27):
Governor Newsom is said to release a report on what
went right and what went wrong during COVID in California.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
The report is said to be about one thousand pages,
and the California Health and Human Services Agency has been
compiling the information for years. Newsom's office says the report
also has input from some quote independent experts. Governor recently
went on a conservative leaning podcast saying that the report
is filled with opinions from those who quote vehemently disagreed
with him on mask mandates and his stay at home orders.
(10:56):
The report is said to be released sometime next month.

News Sean Diddy Combs is now in a federal prison
to begin serving his sentence. ABC news Michelle Franzen says
he was transferred yesterday from a Metropolitan detention center in
Brooklyn to a Federal corrections institute in Fortix.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
It's the low security facility requested by Combs's legal team
because it offers a special drug treatment program, it could
reduce time office sentence.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Combs and his defense attorney are also planning an appeal.
Prince Andrew has been stripped of his titles and kicked
out of his royal residence. He'll now go by Andrew
Mountbatten Windsor after King Charles stripped his brother of all
his titles over Andrew's tiles ties rather to Jeffrey Epstein.
ABC's James Longman says the scandal has raged for years,
(11:49):
with Virginia Jeffrey alleging Epstein trafficked her for sex with Andrew.
Speaker 11 (11:54):
In a statement, her family saying an ordinary American girl
from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince
with her truth and extraordinary courage.
Speaker 7 (12:04):

in contact with Epstein longer than he admitted.

twenty nine year old grand terrorist man has been arrested

to Snapchat. Steve McGuire was taken into custody after a
(13:00):
month's long investigation by the San Berdandino County Sheriff's Department.
Demolition crews have begun tearing down North Hollywood's once iconic
Valley Plaza, a shopping center that opened in nineteen fifty
one and was once the largest on the West Coast.
US audiences are tuning out of this year's World Series.
Ratings for the first two games dropped fourteen percent from

last season's Dodgers Yankees showdown, even as fans in Canada
and Japan are watching in record numbers. And we're taking

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Good morning, Dean, Heather, Good morning.

Are you dressed up for Halloween?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Uh? A little bit? A little bit?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Are you?
Speaker 12 (14:23):
We're gonna follow We're gonna follow the nieces and our
granddaughter around and Tina and I got the idea.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I guess I can say this because they don't.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
They're not listening. They're not.
Speaker 12 (14:34):
Uh so, Yeah, we just grabbed a couple old T
shirts and then we got two iron on numbers. I'm
six and she's seven. No, and we're just gonna be
walking behind them, are you right?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Go six? Seven?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The whole Well, they are you know they are, you
know they are.
Speaker 12 (14:52):
We're not gonna show up. We're like, what, We're gonna
play ignorant. We're like, what what you stand next to you?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
What? What are you talking about? Your shirts?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
That's so fun? I love that. I love that. All right, Well,
let's get started. Let's talking about adding color to the world.
What do you think Why do you think color is
such a powerful emotional impact on our homes?
Speaker 12 (15:14):
Because it has such a powerful emotional impact on us.
You know, human beings are the only species on this
planet that add color to our world, and we've been
doing it for like sixty thousand years, and so color
is just very important to us that it has cues
to us emotionally. You know, cool color colors open up
(15:35):
spaces for us. They make them seem larger. Warm colors
clothes in spaces, make them feel more cozy. There's just
there's a massive psychology of color that you know, we
don't have time to go into today, but the point
is that, you know, color changes our world. And when
it comes to like the holidays getting just around the
corner now, I mean they're within reach now, right, I
(15:57):
mean we're a day away from November first, So people
are thinking what do I do? What should I do
to the house to get it ready? And you know,
painting is something that not a lot of people think
about in the fall. But honestly, if you were gonna
do one thing that could make the most impact of
refreshing the house before the holidays start, you know, maybe
(16:19):
you get out the brushes and the rollers and you
decide to, you know, refresh a couple of rooms in
the house with some new paint.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Okay, so if I'm hosting any holiday parties or events
coming up, which room is going to need the most attention?
And what's an easy way to kind of spruce it
up a little bit, make it feel inviting.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
I would say kitchen, family room, and dining room. That's
this is, you know, because this is where the folks
are going to be hanging out. This is where everybody's
going to be kind of gathering and hanging around. And
you know, I'm not talking about doing some radical thing like, oh,
you know, let's take our normally white family room and
paint it purple. That'll get everybody's attention. But if you've
(17:05):
ever thought about, you know, maybe based on the color
of our furniture and some things that are going on
in the fast, maybe a feature wall. I'm a huge,
huge fan of feature walls when it comes to paint.
I don't want you to paint the entire room one
color because it can just become a cave of color
and kind of oppressive. But if you've got otherwise white walls,
(17:28):
how about pick a wall that you know is prominent
in the room and go bold with that wall. You know,
throw a blue up on that wall, throw something up
there that it really makes the room pop, and the
contrast between the other walls and that wall, it is
just a beautiful thing.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Okay, and finally for anyone who is short on time
or budget, see me raising my hand over here, what
is like a good one day makeover trick that really
can give a wow.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Factor one day makeover trip.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Here's the thing, you know when it just comes to
the family room, how about take a look at the
throw pillows in the family room and uh, and again,
paint paint, paint on even the the the smallest of
areas to compliment some of the furniture accents that you've
already got. And you know, we're talking about a couple
(18:26):
of gallons of paint.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And uh.
Speaker 12 (18:28):
You know, maybe you know, four or five hours of
your time and you can set up your house for
the holidays like you haven't seen it in a long time.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Dean, if I had unlimited funds, I would hire you
and Tina to come over to my house and completely
redo everything I need.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It all is not that expensive. I need unlimited.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Not think you're expensive. It's that I am broke. Dean Sharp,
Thank you so much. You guys can listen to Dean
and me sometimes too, giving the news on the weekend
on Saturdays at six and Sundays at nine. Dean Sharp,
you are the best thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Thanks Heather, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Thank you you too. All Right, let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. The twenty twenty eight Olympics closing ceremonies
may be changed in La.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
The original plan was for an unprecedented dual venue closing ceremonies.
Part would take place at LA Memorial Coliseum and the
other part at SOFI Stadium, known in official Olympic jargon
as the Stadium in Inglewood. The only city Council's ad
hoc Committee on the Olympics has approved emotion calling for
the entire closing ceremony to take place only at the coliseum.
Official say, with more events already added to the site,
(19:39):
which by then will have hosted three Olympics, it makes
the most sense to do the whole final shebang there.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
AY thirty four member Los Angeles County Fire Department Search
and Rescue team is headed to Jamaica to assist after
Hurricane Melissa's catastrophic strike. The Category five storm killed at
least four people and left widespread destruction across the island.
As the federal shut down threatens to suspend Snap benefits.
Starting tomorrow, the la Unified School District will begin serving
(20:08):
dinner to students across most of its schools. Free breakfast
and lunch are already available, and now supper will be
added to help fill the gap. La USC Superintendent Alberto
Cavallo says the move is aimed at helping the thousands
of students who depend on Snap to eat.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
If you are eighteen or younger, families, please come to
our sites and pick up the equivalent of a dinner.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
The program starts with shelf stable meals and will expand
hot food next week. A judge in Chicago has released
a man picked up by Ice on charges of being
in the US illegally. ABC's Andrea Fuji says Reuben Torres
Maldonado spent nearly two weeks in jail while his sixteen
year old daughter is fighting stage four cancer.
Speaker 14 (20:50):
Homeland Security I'm saying he has a history of habitual
driving offenses and has been charged multiple times with driving
without insurance, driving without a valid license, and speeding.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
The man says he has a license and insurance. We're
taking your talkbacks this morning. Hit us up on the
iHeartRadio app and let me know. Are you dressing up
for Halloween? Will you be trick or treating? And what's
your favorite movie? Anything you want to share about this
very fun holiday. It is five p thirty two on
(21:28):
your wake up call. I'm Heatherbrooker in for Amy King
this morning. Happy Halloween everyone. Here's what we're following in
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two suspects have been
arrested for allegedly setting fires at the Sepulvida Basin and
San Fernando Valley. Mayor Bath says Park rangers and Ellie's
fire arson team have caught them during a blaze at
(21:49):
Hansome Dam. Part of a wider effort to curb fires
and improve public safety, the FBI in Santa Barbara County
investigators searched the home of a missing nine year old girl,
Melody Buzzard, in Lompock. She was lasting with her mother,
who was who investigators say has been uncooperative in the
search across state lines. And Jamaica is still reeling for
the most powerful hurricane in history. Hurricane Melissa left more
(22:12):
than seventy percent of the island without power. Today's talkback question,
we want to hear from you on this Halloween. What
are you doing tonight? Are you dressing up? Will you
being costumed? Do you go a trick or treating? Are
you going for a party? Let us know. Hit us
up on the talkback button than a six oh five handle.
On the news, the Dodgers face elimination in the World
Series tonight, We're going to tell you what manager Dave
(22:33):
Roberts is doing to try to lock down that win.
But first, Harry Potter fans are in for a treat
this holiday season as Harry Potter Wizards of Baking returns
for chapter two on Food Network. The magical Baking competition
features even more enchanted challenges, stunning edible creations, and plenty
of wizardry in the kitchen. Joining me now are the
(22:54):
show's host, James and Oliver Phelps, the beloved twins who
brought Fred and George Weasley to life. Good morning, gentlemen,
Good morning, Hello. I'm doing well. I am so thrilled
to be talking with you today because you are coming
back for another round of baking magic. So what can
fans expect that's new or even more spellbinding in chapter two?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, we are so we're very lucky that everyone seems
to really enjoy season one. So yeah, chapter two, the
Standard takes off from where it left and dare I say,
go even more so some of the baits are even bigger.
We're on some slightly different sets as well, so it's
not exactly the same and that, like I said, the
Standard is just incredible this season.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
So the baker's creations on this show are absolutely wild.
Can you talk about what the most jaw dropping dessert
is that you've seen this coming season? Maybe without giving
away too much.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Yeah, without giving away too much, I mean one that
I never thought I'd ever seen my life was a
life size edible Dobby. That would be that would be
things the first thing that comes to my head, But
not just that, and that's really in a weird context.
It tasted incredible as well, this house elf, So there's
there's lots of elements will go into making these these
(24:17):
huge showpiece. Obviously they need to look great, but also
they need to taste good as well. So that's where
the judges Chef Carla Hall and Josei fusif they really
know what they're talking about with that.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
So that always amazes me with these baking shows how
they can create what this edible art, but also make
it taste good. Sometimes I'm like, wait a minute, does
that foot that you just made or purse or whatever
really tastes good? But I believe you if you say
it does. So you both have said this show captured it.
(24:49):
Oh go ahead.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
I was going to say, well, a lessons. It is
a baking competition, so it does need to taste good,
and they're very they're very hot on if it doesn't.
But the problem is when you've got a the best
in the world doing it, everything tastes really good, that
makes it.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Even harder, I can imagine. So how tell me a
little bit more about how baking and storytelling really come
together in this show.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
So yeah, So each each episode is based on a
set from the original Harry Potter series. So like the
the the opening episode which comes out on Sunday on
Food Network. So they we have eight teams and we
start off where the last season finished in the Great Hall,
and these eight teams they're sourced into houses and they
(25:40):
have to basically compete against the other. So you've got
like say two people are in Gryffindor House, or two
teams in griffindor House, and the two teams compete directly
against each other as to who's going to go through
to the next the next round. So it's it's that
there's a competitive side of it as well, and they're
using their their parttern knowledge, their information, their imagination more importantly,
(26:04):
and their their talents as well.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Now, you've worked with some amazing guest judges and returning
Hogwarts alums this season. Any behind the scenes moments or
mischief that you can share with us.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
I don't know about mischief, but it was funny being
like Devin Murray, for example, who played who played Shames
in the movies. He came back, he came back for
an episode to help be a guest judge, and he
was saying to me, is James, this is the first
time I've been back to the studios in fifteen years,
and he's having a big daja voo moment. And I
(26:38):
can relate to him because every so often, like I'd
be walking down a sound stage and then have flashbacks
to where I was twenty years ago when we were
filming some of the films. So he said it was
great nostalgia for him and he got to have a
nice lot of cake as well whilst he was there.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Well, I know this is such a special show for
my daughter and I were big Harry Potter fans. She's
a hufflepuff, I'm a ravenclaw, and this is one of
the shows that we can watch together and we love
it so much. So James and Oliver, thank you so
much for your time this morning. You guys can catch
Harry Potter Wizards of Baking chapter two this holiday season
(27:16):
on Food Network starting November two. Thank you, gentlemen, thanks,
thank you.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
All.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Right, now it is time to get in your business
with Bloomberg's Denise. Actually it's not Denise today, right Denise?
We want are somebody new today?
Speaker 15 (27:33):
Hey there, Heather, Yeah, it's Erica Hirika for Denise.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Sure, So let's talk about If you're a YouTube customer
YouTube TV rather and turned into ESPN this morning, you
may have been disappointed.
Speaker 15 (27:47):
Why Yeah, well you wanted those scores and guess what,
you're not gonna get them. You're not gonna get ESPN
or ABC channels, those channels and more. They've been blacked out, Heather,
after YouTube TV and Disney failed to strike a new
licensing deal than the old one expired last night. YouTube
TV's accusing Disney of using blackout threats to force higher
prices while pledging a twenty dollars credit to subscribers if
(28:07):
this outage does persist, and the standoff follows a month
of tense negotiations and comes amid a broader industry battle
over streaming costs and market share.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
So we've got another recall from Tesla and it's having
some more issues with the cyber truck.
Speaker 15 (28:22):
Yeah, that cyber truck. And not only is it ugly right,
Tesla's cyber truck is being recalled for the tenth time
in less than two years. It's the latest recall and
it's more than six thousand of them due to a
potential issue with the installation of an off road light
bar accessory that could detach and increase the risk of
a collision. Well, the cyber truck's been a sales disappointment,
with the cyber truck Model S, Model X combined accounting
(28:45):
for just over three percent of Tesla's global deliveries last quarter.
So nothing but trouble from this cyber truck.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Oh man, it is a mess, isn't it. I mean,
but people love their cyber trucks. I think they're just
going to keep driving them into the problem.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They just love attention.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
I love it it is.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
So when I was little, I used to collect pennies
with my grandma. But apparently pennies are no longer being produced.
What's going on there?
Speaker 15 (29:08):
Yeah, you know, give a penny, take a penny. The
little jars in front of cash register as well, some
McDonald's customers now paying cash. They're gonna have to pay
a little more or a little less for their meal.
That's because again, pennies are no longer in production. The
federal government stopped making new one cent coins this year
because it costs more than a cent to make one.
So now some areas are seeing pennies shortages, and McDonald's
(29:31):
is responding with a plan to round up or round
down to the nearest nickel.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
All right, So lastly, here, if everyone's in need of
a last minute costume for Halloween, what can they do?
Speaker 8 (29:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (29:43):
Well, if you're like me, you wait to the last minute. Right,
So good news, Heather Spirit Halloween will be open today
all day, and it will stay open all weekend as
the Halloween festivities are expected to run all the way
through Sunday this year.

your time this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Happy Halloween, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
It is five forty eight forty nine. Are go on
your wake up call. I'm Heather Brooker in on this
Halloween day for Amy King, who is off I'm sure
planning her own costume right now. Here's what we're following
in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man has
been arrested for the July murder of forty year old
(30:55):
Martin and Segura, who was found shaw to death near
the La riverbed in longbeat Balise say. The suspect, thirty
one year old Andrew Lozano, was also homeless and taken
into custody this week after a month long investigation. The
motive remains under investigation. A sixty five year old man
accused of posing as an attorney has been arrested in
(31:16):
Santa Anna. After nearly a year on the run, Balisey
Jose Bernall sexually assaulted a woman in his office after
demanding money and offering legal help that he wasn't licensed
to provide. California regulators have fined several cryptocurrency kiosk operators
for overcharging customers, including coin Hub, which must pay six
(31:38):
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in penalties and refunds.
Officials say the company charged illegal fees and failed to
disclose key transaction details. We are taking your talkbacks this morning.
We want to hear from you. Hit the talkback button
on the iHeartRadio app and let me know. Are you
dressing up for Halloween? And do you go trick or treating?
(32:01):
Or you going to parties? Or are you gonna stay
at home and watch your favorite scary movie on the couch.
I want to hear from you. Hit the talkback button
on the iHeartRadio app. We've already got a few messages
coming in. We're gonna try to play those coming up
at the end of the show. We're just minutes away
from handle. On the news this morning, a judge in
Massachusetts says she will consider ordering the Trump Administration to
(32:22):
use reserve funds for snap benefits. We're gonna tell you
what Congress has to say about that. The Race to
Oscar season is officially on, but there's no shortage of
great new releases to dive into. Emma Stone stars in Pogonia,
and then HBO Max is getting emotional with Sorry Baby,
and Amy Poehler serving up a little bit of comfort
(32:43):
and comedy on her new podcast Good Hang. Joining me
with the latest and pop culture picks is ABC's Will Gans.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Good Morning, Will Hey, good morning. I hear you've got
quite the Halloween costume going on.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
I'm killing I am never one to turn away an
opportunity to dress up. Even though I sit in a
room by myself with no windows.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
No one sees me.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'm dressed as Jonathan Bailey from the Jurassic World movie
than summer. But the difference is that people are definitely
gonna see me today, So.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Well, well, I'll just have to take some pictures, take
some selfies, and I'll put it up on social media.
That's a great costumere you go. I'm going to go
on your Instagram and look at your costume later.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
On, and I'll return the favor I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
To see awesome. Okay, so let's talk about one of
my favorite subjects, which is entertainment news. Let's get started
with Bougonia. There was a lot of mixed reviews about
this film, but Emma Stone is already back in awards
contention for it. What makes this project stand out as
an Oscar season favorite?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I mean, first of all, it's her. So, this is
the youngest person to ever win the Best Actress Academy
Award twice, and she's teaming up with your Ghostlanthemos, which
is the director that she worked with in Poor Things.
So and it's similar in I guess tone maybe or
style to that movie. Like it's unsettling, it's weird. It's
(34:08):
not one that I would go see with my parents,
but it's one that I saw and I can't stop
thinking about because you know it is the performances first
of all from Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmins are fantastic.
And then you know, the last like fifteen minutes of
the movie really like take you to a place that
(34:29):
you don't think that you're going. So to remind anyone
who isn't familiar with what Pegona is, this is the
movie that's about two guys who are convinced that the
biomedical CEO who lives in their city is an alien,
and so they kidnap her and plan to convince her
to admit that she's an alien. And that happens within
(34:50):
the first you know, five minutes of the movie. So
I'm not giving too much away there, but yeah, it's
it's crazy it you know, the premise is crazy. The
where it goes even crazier. So if you're into those
sort of really stylistic, wacko sort of movies with really
great scripts and acting and directing and all of those things,
bougonias and theaters this weekend.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Okay, and Sorry Baby seems to be striking an emotional
chord with audiences. What's the story behind that?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Okay, So this is from writer, director, and star Eva
Victor and she I remember like hearing about this movie
over the summer. Everyone was like, oh my god, this
movie so great. It did really well at a lot
of the film festivals, and then was you know, had
a quiet release in theaters. But it's now on HBO
Max and it's called Sorry Baby, and it's about this
woman and she is in academia she lives alone, and
(35:39):
pretty much from the jump you know that something really
bad has happened to her, but you don't know what
it is. But the point of the movie is sort
of that, like, life continues even when you're dealing with,
you know, something horrible that's happened to you. So the
movie starts with her friend from New York coming to
visit her and telling her, Hey, guess what, I'm pregnant,
and so it's about their friendship and the way that
this this woman you know, navigates like life post you know,
(36:04):
terrible thing, and she's amazing in it, and it's just
it's emotional, it's funny, it's it's it's really really like
a lovely film that again I really like, I haven't
stopped thinking about it since I watched it, and it's
you know, free for anyone who has HBO Max Okay, and.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Really quickly before I let you go, one of my
favorite things to do right now is watch Amy Poehler's
Good Hanging Podcast. I know that sounds crazy because most
podcasts we listen to right but hers is like it's like.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
A talk show exactly. And the reason I wanted to
include it this week is because my first two recommendations
are a little heavy. So the idea behind this podcast,
as you know, is that Amy will invite a guest on,
but before they come on, she talks good about them
behind their back with some of their best friends or
their coworkers or whatever. And then when they're there, she
you know, catches up with them and asks them what
(36:55):
they're doing that makes them laugh or smile or how
they stay in such a tough time. And it's doing
incredibly well. I mean, like some episodes four million watches
on Spotify, which is like, you know, as much as
Joe Rogan and and you know, so yeah, it's crazy.
It's it's starting to really take off. And I don't
(37:17):
have to sell it to you. I know that you
love it already, so yeah, good hang with Amy Poehler
and and you can watch it or you can listen
to it like you would a traditional And I.
Speaker 7 (37:27):
Know, I'm going to go out on a limb here
and say, because you know, was it the Emmys that
just added a podcast category? Was it the Golden Globes one.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Of them did, yes, the Globe.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb here
and say, I think her show will probably likely get
nominated for a Globe.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
You're calling it early, and I agree with you. It's
just she is so good at it and it's like yeah,
And they also don't shy away from some of the
heavier topics like aging and you know, friendships and things
like like it's it checks a lot of boxes. I
just love it. Every time I listened, I do too well.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
For the record, my podcast also gets four million listens
every week. So me and Ami Puller will ganz thank
you so much, Happy Halloween, enjoy your day.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Thank you you too, talk to you later.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Please,
Shriff's deputies and CHP officers will be on the lookout
for anyone who drives while drinking or taking other intoxicants
this Halloween night. They say, with kids out trigger treating,
the need for safety is paramount, so be careful out there.
And escaping a zombie apocalypse is about where you're escaping from.
Speaker 13 (38:35):
A ranking of major cities puts la as the worst
place to survive a zombie uprisings. Course, we're made using
road conditions, population density, car ownership and other factors. Fort Worth, Texas,
came in first for zombie survivability because of smooth roads
and easy rural access, followed by San Diego because of
car ownership and low population density. LA's crappy roads and
(38:55):
dense population are why it came in last, followed by
San Francisco in New York. The company that put out
the ranking says a zombie POC is unlikely, but it's
food for thought for people trying to leave a city
because of a real world emergency. Michael Krozier k if

Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. California is suing
the federal government to keep food aid flowing to millions
as the shutdown threatened snap benefits. Starting November first, more
(02:03):
than forty two million Americans could lose access to food assistants,
and a specialized La County fire rescue team is headed
to Jamaica to help after Hurricane Melissa and King Charles
the Third has stripped Prince Andrew of his remaining titles
and evicted him from his royal residence after renewed outrage
over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Here's what's ahead on
wake Up Call. As the federal government shut down drags on,
(02:26):
millions of families who depend on that food assistance could
see their benefits vanish. We're going to talk to Bethany
bron Silva to find out what this means for families
already struggling a five point twenty, The holidays are coming

they were ordered to leave a still smoldering brush fire
when it reignited into the Palisades fire five days later.
We're going to tell you who gave the order and why.
(03:42):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The South LA
family is safer after two arson is set there West
Adams home on fire in the middle of the night.
Surveillo's video shows the suspects dousing the house with gasoline
before a massive explosion. The FBI is investigating a second
ICE involved shooting in Soca Wow.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
The shooting happened Thursday morning. In Ontario. Officials say they
tried conducting a traffic stop on Vineyard Avenue when the
driver reversed his vehicle directly at ICE agents. The driver
reportedly was not the target for ICE agents at the time,
but fearing for their safety, the agents opened fire. The
Ontario Police Department says it responded to a request for
emergency assistance from DHS officers, but were not involved in
(04:22):
the shooting. Recently, ICE officers fired at a man in
South Los Angeles. Demand in an agent. We're hurt, but
both are expected to recover. Tammy trihellok f I News.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Let's go to a crash on a sixty in Montabello.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, we've got some said traffic there.
Speaker 9 (04:36):
This happened in the three am hour. The two right
lanes are blocked sixty westbound right before Garfield. That's an
injury crash in the two right lanes and it's probably
our slowest spot out there. Ninety one eastbound the eastbound
side as you try to transition to the two fifteen south,
something's burning on the right side of the roadway there,
so watch up for that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's just mostly a distraction for you as a driver.
Speaker 9 (04:56):
And on the northbound side of the five at Culver Bulevard,
the one in Orange County, there's an overturned vehicle there.
They're trying to mop that one up. Overall, it's Friday
morning light, So enjoy from the hype with LA's most
What am I doing with Southern California's most Accurate Traffic
Report sign with a cool Schreiber.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
It's the costume that's throwing you off, isn't it. Oh,
don't you worry. We'll get it going all right. Let's
get over to some news this morning. The ongoing government
shutdown is putting real pressure on millions of Americans, especially
families who rely on SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Joining me now is ABC's Bethany Bronze Silva, who's been
covering the human toll behind the numbers. Good morning, Bethany,
(05:35):
good morning, Thank you for having me. Let's get started
with some of the basics. How many people could be
affected if SNAP benefits are disrupted next week.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I mean, we're looking at numbers into the hundreds of thousands.
And you know, even though we don't officially know what's
going to come down as of November first, this is
already causing so much stress and worry, and families who
rely on these benefits. Anti hunger organizations like No Kid
Hungry and Feeding America or reporting that they're seeing an
optic and people reaching out in all of their their
(06:07):
hotlines and their emails. And it's really because you know,
children that we're here to talk about. Really is the kids, right?
They're incredibly perceptive. Even before they sort of understand what's happening,
they can send stress in the household, changes in tone
and routines or how meals are handled.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
So now I understand you've spoken with some of the
families who rely on this program, and what are they
telling you about the uncertainty that they're feeling right now.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I've actually spoken to experts like pediatricians and psychologists who
have spoken to families, and you know, people are worried
and what they're telling them to sort of script or
tell their kids, and really, we don't want to transfer
any of that stress that adults might be feeling to
the kids is to really keep It's okay to be honest,
but you want to keep it simple and calm, telling
(06:52):
kids like things might look different around meal time right now,
but will always make sure you have what you need.
For older kids, you can explain and that this isn't
a parent's fault. This is a result of a government shutdown.
So the really the goal here is to reassure, not overwhelm.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
So beyond this sort of initial crisis that we're experiencing
or that they're going to be experiencing right now, what
are the experts saying about the long term effects uefit's
are delayed or stopped altogether.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, so you know, food banks they are working overdrive
right now. So you know, it's hard to speak of
the long term effects about hunger, but we can I
can definitely talk to you about like the long term
effects on a child's mental health. You know, chronic worry
about food can lead to anxiety, sleep issues, or even changes,
you know, extreme changes like hoarding or restricting food. So
(07:44):
if that happens, you need to speak to your child's
pediatrician right away. They connect can connect you with counseling
or additional support and early intervention here can make a
huge difference. And just to you know, I did, I
did speak to the head of Feeding America and she
pointed out to me for every meal that they provide,
SNAP provides nine. So if we try to keep it
in that perspective, this really is. It is a huge
(08:07):
crisis that is looming.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
I I interviewed local food banks here in the southern
California area and they are talking about dipping into their reserves.
They are asking for the public's help, you know, in
many different ways. And for those of the people out
there who want to help, what is the most effective
way to support families or local food programs right now?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, I would say definitely go to the local level, churches,
religious organizations, schools. You know, there are lots of local
organizations that are taking not only donations of food, but
monetary donations, those seem to go the fastest. If you're
looking for help, you can text two one one or
visit two one one dot org to connect with local food, housing,
and utility to support, and also the American American Academy
(08:56):
of Pediatrics AAP dot org also lists emergency food resources
for families in need. And you know, it's never a
better time or you know, a bouck to be in November,
the month of Thanksgiving, giving back feeling grateful. So if
you aren't a family who might be experienced experiencing this
sort of looming food insecurity, then please, you know, donate,
donate your time, do it as a family. It really
(09:17):
is a lifelong you know, lesson and great way to
give back in this much needed moment.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Okay, Bethany, thank you so much for your time this morning,
and happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As
you heard, is discussing the federal shutdown is now in
its thirty first day and with the Senate off until Monday,
no action is expected this weekend. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program or SNAP runs out tomorrow. Republicans want a short
term fix, but Democrats also want to address healthcare subsidies
(09:50):
and Medicaid cuts. House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrey says Republicans
could continue to fund SNAP with contingencies, but refuse Publicans.
Speaker 10 (10:00):
From the very beginning of this presidency, cruelty has been
the point.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
House Speaker Mike Johnson says there's no legal mechanism to
turn on the contingency fund. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles
are investigating whether the leaders of the Black Lives Global
Network Foundation misused millions in donations raised after George Floyd's death.
The group denies wrongdoing and says it remains committed to transparency.
(10:27):
Governor Newsom is said to release a report on what
went right and what went wrong during COVID in California.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
The report is said to be about one thousand pages,
and the California Health and Human Services Agency has been
compiling the information for years. Newsom's office says the report
also has input from some quote independent experts. Governor recently
went on a conservative leaning podcast saying that the report
is filled with opinions from those who quote vehemently disagreed
with him on mask mandates and his stay at home orders.
(10:56):
The report is said to be released sometime next month.

News Sean Diddy Combs is now in a federal prison
to begin serving his sentence. ABC news Michelle Franzen says
he was transferred yesterday from a Metropolitan detention center in
Brooklyn to a Federal corrections institute in Fortix.

It's the low security facility requested by Combs's legal team
because it offers a special drug treatment program, it could
reduce time office sentence.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Combs and his defense attorney are also planning an appeal.
Prince Andrew has been stripped of his titles and kicked
out of his royal residence. He'll now go by Andrew
Mountbatten Windsor after King Charles stripped his brother of all
his titles over Andrew's tiles ties rather to Jeffrey Epstein.

(11:49):
with Virginia Jeffrey alleging Epstein trafficked her for sex with Andrew.
Speaker 11 (11:54):
In a statement, her family saying an ordinary American girl
from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince

twenty nine year old grand terrorist man has been arrested

month's long investigation by the San Berdandino County Sheriff's Department.
Demolition crews have begun tearing down North Hollywood's once iconic
Valley Plaza, a shopping center that opened in nineteen fifty
one and was once the largest on the West Coast.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Good morning, Dean, Heather, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Are you dressed up for Halloween?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Uh? A little bit? A little bit?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Are you?
Speaker 12 (14:23):
We're gonna follow We're gonna follow the nieces and our
granddaughter around and Tina and I got the idea.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I guess I can say this because they don't.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
They're not listening. They're not.
Speaker 12 (14:34):
Uh so, Yeah, we just grabbed a couple old T
shirts and then we got two iron on numbers. I'm
six and she's seven. No, and we're just gonna be
walking behind them, are you right?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Go six? Seven?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The whole Well, they are you know they are, you
know they are.
Speaker 12 (14:52):
We're not gonna show up. We're like, what, We're gonna
play ignorant. We're like, what what you stand next to you?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
What? What are you talking about? Your shirts?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
That's so fun? I love that. I love that. All right, Well,
let's get started. Let's talking about adding color to the world.
What do you think Why do you think color is
such a powerful emotional impact on our homes?
Speaker 12 (15:14):
Because it has such a powerful emotional impact on us.
You know, human beings are the only species on this
planet that add color to our world, and we've been
doing it for like sixty thousand years, and so color
is just very important to us that it has cues
to us emotionally. You know, cool color colors open up
(15:35):
spaces for us. They make them seem larger. Warm colors
clothes in spaces, make them feel more cozy. There's just
there's a massive psychology of color that you know, we
don't have time to go into today, but the point
is that, you know, color changes our world. And when
it comes to like the holidays getting just around the
corner now, I mean they're within reach now, right, I
(15:57):
mean we're a day away from November first, So people
are thinking what do I do? What should I do
to the house to get it ready? And you know,
painting is something that not a lot of people think
about in the fall. But honestly, if you were gonna
do one thing that could make the most impact of
refreshing the house before the holidays start, you know, maybe
(16:19):
you get out the brushes and the rollers and you
decide to, you know, refresh a couple of rooms in
the house with some new paint.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Okay, so if I'm hosting any holiday parties or events
coming up, which room is going to need the most attention?
And what's an easy way to kind of spruce it
up a little bit, make it feel inviting.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
I would say kitchen, family room, and dining room. That's
this is, you know, because this is where the folks
are going to be hanging out. This is where everybody's
going to be kind of gathering and hanging around. And
you know, I'm not talking about doing some radical thing like, oh,
you know, let's take our normally white family room and
paint it purple. That'll get everybody's attention. But if you've
(17:05):
ever thought about, you know, maybe based on the color
of our furniture and some things that are going on
in the fast, maybe a feature wall. I'm a huge,
huge fan of feature walls when it comes to paint.
I don't want you to paint the entire room one
color because it can just become a cave of color
and kind of oppressive. But if you've got otherwise white walls,
(17:28):
how about pick a wall that you know is prominent
in the room and go bold with that wall. You know,
throw a blue up on that wall, throw something up
there that it really makes the room pop, and the
contrast between the other walls and that wall, it is
just a beautiful thing.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Okay, and finally for anyone who is short on time
or budget, see me raising my hand over here, what
is like a good one day makeover trick that really
can give a wow.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Factor one day makeover trip.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Here's the thing, you know when it just comes to
the family room, how about take a look at the
throw pillows in the family room and uh, and again,
paint paint, paint on even the the the smallest of
areas to compliment some of the furniture accents that you've
already got. And you know, we're talking about a couple
(18:26):
of gallons of paint.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And uh.
Speaker 12 (18:28):
You know, maybe you know, four or five hours of
your time and you can set up your house for
the holidays like you haven't seen it in a long time.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Dean, if I had unlimited funds, I would hire you
and Tina to come over to my house and completely
redo everything I need.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It all is not that expensive. I need unlimited.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Not think you're expensive. It's that I am broke. Dean Sharp,
Thank you so much. You guys can listen to Dean
and me sometimes too, giving the news on the weekend
on Saturdays at six and Sundays at nine. Dean Sharp,
you are the best thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Thanks Heather, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Thank you you too. All Right, let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. The twenty twenty eight Olympics closing ceremonies
may be changed in La.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
The original plan was for an unprecedented dual venue closing ceremonies.
Part would take place at LA Memorial Coliseum and the
other part at SOFI Stadium, known in official Olympic jargon
as the Stadium in Inglewood. The only city Council's ad
hoc Committee on the Olympics has approved emotion calling for
the entire closing ceremony to take place only at the coliseum.
Official say, with more events already added to the site,
(19:39):
which by then will have hosted three Olympics, it makes
the most sense to do the whole final shebang there.

AY thirty four member Los Angeles County Fire Department Search
and Rescue team is headed to Jamaica to assist after
Hurricane Melissa's catastrophic strike. The Category five storm killed at

Starting tomorrow, the la Unified School District will begin serving
(20:08):

Cavallo says the move is aimed at helping the thousands
of students who depend on Snap to eat.

If you are eighteen or younger, families, please come to
our sites and pick up the equivalent of a dinner.

(21:28):
your wake up call. I'm Heatherbrooker in for Amy King
this morning. Happy Halloween everyone. Here's what we're following in
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two suspects have been
arrested for allegedly setting fires at the Sepulvida Basin and
San Fernando Valley. Mayor Bath says Park rangers and Ellie's
fire arson team have caught them during a blaze at
(21:49):
Hansome Dam. Part of a wider effort to curb fires
and improve public safety, the FBI in Santa Barbara County
investigators searched the home of a missing nine year old girl,
Melody Buzzard, in Lompock. She was lasting with her mother,
who was who investigators say has been uncooperative in the
search across state lines. And Jamaica is still reeling for

we want to hear from you on this Halloween. What
are you doing tonight? Are you dressing up? Will you
being costumed? Do you go a trick or treating? Are

On the news, the Dodgers face elimination in the World

(22:33):
Roberts is doing to try to lock down that win.
But first, Harry Potter fans are in for a treat
this holiday season as Harry Potter Wizards of Baking returns
for chapter two on Food Network. The magical Baking competition
features even more enchanted challenges, stunning edible creations, and plenty
of wizardry in the kitchen. Joining me now are the
(22:54):
show's host, James and Oliver Phelps, the beloved twins who
brought Fred and George Weasley to life. Good morning, gentlemen,
Good morning, Hello. I'm doing well. I am so thrilled
to be talking with you today because you are coming
back for another round of baking magic. So what can
fans expect that's new or even more spellbinding in chapter two?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, we are so we're very lucky that everyone seems
to really enjoy season one. So yeah, chapter two, the
Standard takes off from where it left and dare I say,
go even more so some of the baits are even bigger.
We're on some slightly different sets as well, so it's
not exactly the same and that, like I said, the
Standard is just incredible this season.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
So the baker's creations on this show are absolutely wild.
Can you talk about what the most jaw dropping dessert
is that you've seen this coming season? Maybe without giving
away too much.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Yeah, without giving away too much, I mean one that
I never thought I'd ever seen my life was a
life size edible Dobby. That would be that would be
things the first thing that comes to my head, But
not just that, and that's really in a weird context.
It tasted incredible as well, this house elf, So there's
there's lots of elements will go into making these these
(24:17):
huge showpiece. Obviously they need to look great, but also
they need to taste good as well. So that's where
the judges Chef Carla Hall and Josei fusif they really
know what they're talking about with that.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
So that always amazes me with these baking shows how
they can create what this edible art, but also make
it taste good. Sometimes I'm like, wait a minute, does
that foot that you just made or purse or whatever
really tastes good? But I believe you if you say
it does. So you both have said this show captured it.
(24:49):
Oh go ahead.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
I was going to say, well, a lessons. It is
a baking competition, so it does need to taste good,
and they're very they're very hot on if it doesn't.
But the problem is when you've got a the best
in the world doing it, everything tastes really good, that
makes it.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Even harder, I can imagine. So how tell me a
little bit more about how baking and storytelling really come
together in this show.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
So yeah, So each each episode is based on a
set from the original Harry Potter series. So like the
the the opening episode which comes out on Sunday on
Food Network. So they we have eight teams and we
start off where the last season finished in the Great Hall,
and these eight teams they're sourced into houses and they
(25:40):
have to basically compete against the other. So you've got
like say two people are in Gryffindor House, or two
teams in griffindor House, and the two teams compete directly
against each other as to who's going to go through
to the next the next round. So it's it's that
there's a competitive side of it as well, and they're
using their their parttern knowledge, their information, their imagination more importantly,
(26:04):
and their their talents as well.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Now, you've worked with some amazing guest judges and returning
Hogwarts alums this season. Any behind the scenes moments or
mischief that you can share with us.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
I don't know about mischief, but it was funny being
like Devin Murray, for example, who played who played Shames
in the movies. He came back, he came back for
an episode to help be a guest judge, and he
was saying to me, is James, this is the first
time I've been back to the studios in fifteen years,
and he's having a big daja voo moment. And I
(26:38):
can relate to him because every so often, like I'd
be walking down a sound stage and then have flashbacks
to where I was twenty years ago when we were
filming some of the films. So he said it was
great nostalgia for him and he got to have a
nice lot of cake as well whilst he was there.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Well, I know this is such a special show for
my daughter and I were big Harry Potter fans. She's
a hufflepuff, I'm a ravenclaw, and this is one of
the shows that we can watch together and we love
it so much. So James and Oliver, thank you so
much for your time this morning. You guys can catch
Harry Potter Wizards of Baking chapter two this holiday season
(27:16):
on Food Network starting November two. Thank you, gentlemen, thanks,
thank you.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
All.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Right, now it is time to get in your business
with Bloomberg's Denise. Actually it's not Denise today, right Denise?
We want are somebody new today?
Speaker 15 (27:33):
Hey there, Heather, Yeah, it's Erica Hirika for Denise.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Sure, So let's talk about If you're a YouTube customer
YouTube TV rather and turned into ESPN this morning, you
may have been disappointed.
Speaker 15 (27:47):
Why Yeah, well you wanted those scores and guess what,
you're not gonna get them. You're not gonna get ESPN
or ABC channels, those channels and more. They've been blacked out, Heather,
after YouTube TV and Disney failed to strike a new
licensing deal than the old one expired last night. YouTube
TV's accusing Disney of using blackout threats to force higher
prices while pledging a twenty dollars credit to subscribers if
(28:07):
this outage does persist, and the standoff follows a month
of tense negotiations and comes amid a broader industry battle
over streaming costs and market share.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
So we've got another recall from Tesla and it's having
some more issues with the cyber truck.
Speaker 15 (28:22):
Yeah, that cyber truck. And not only is it ugly right,
Tesla's cyber truck is being recalled for the tenth time
in less than two years. It's the latest recall and
it's more than six thousand of them due to a
potential issue with the installation of an off road light
bar accessory that could detach and increase the risk of
a collision. Well, the cyber truck's been a sales disappointment,
with the cyber truck Model S, Model X combined accounting
(28:45):
for just over three percent of Tesla's global deliveries last quarter.
So nothing but trouble from this cyber truck.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Oh man, it is a mess, isn't it. I mean,
but people love their cyber trucks. I think they're just
going to keep driving them into the problem.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They just love attention.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
I love it it is.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
So when I was little, I used to collect pennies
with my grandma. But apparently pennies are no longer being produced.
What's going on there?
Speaker 15 (29:08):
Yeah, you know, give a penny, take a penny. The
little jars in front of cash register as well, some
McDonald's customers now paying cash. They're gonna have to pay
a little more or a little less for their meal.
That's because again, pennies are no longer in production. The
federal government stopped making new one cent coins this year
because it costs more than a cent to make one.
So now some areas are seeing pennies shortages, and McDonald's
(29:31):
is responding with a plan to round up or round
down to the nearest nickel.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
All right, So lastly, here, if everyone's in need of
a last minute costume for Halloween, what can they do?
Speaker 8 (29:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (29:43):
Well, if you're like me, you wait to the last minute. Right,
So good news, Heather Spirit Halloween will be open today
all day, and it will stay open all weekend as
the Halloween festivities are expected to run all the way
through Sunday this year.

So to help celebrate.
Speaker 15 (29:55):

night shipping on orders over fifty dollars with the code

Speaker 7 (30:34):
It is five forty eight forty nine. Are go on
your wake up call. I'm Heather Brooker in on this
Halloween day for Amy King, who is off I'm sure
planning her own costume right now. Here's what we're following
in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man has
been arrested for the July murder of forty year old
(30:55):
Martin and Segura, who was found shaw to death near
the La riverbed in longbeat Balise say. The suspect, thirty
one year old Andrew Lozano, was also homeless and taken
into custody this week after a month long investigation. The
motive remains under investigation. A sixty five year old man
accused of posing as an attorney has been arrested in
(31:16):
Santa Anna. After nearly a year on the run, Balisey
Jose Bernall sexually assaulted a woman in his office after
demanding money and offering legal help that he wasn't licensed
to provide. California regulators have fined several cryptocurrency kiosk operators
for overcharging customers, including coin Hub, which must pay six
(31:38):
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in penalties and refunds.

disclose key transaction details. We are taking your talkbacks this morning.
We want to hear from you. Hit the talkback button
on the iHeartRadio app and let me know. Are you
dressing up for Halloween? And do you go trick or treating?
(32:01):
Or you going to parties? Or are you gonna stay

I want to hear from you. Hit the talkback button
on the iHeartRadio app. We've already got a few messages
coming in. We're gonna try to play those coming up
at the end of the show. We're just minutes away
from handle. On the news this morning, a judge in
Massachusetts says she will consider ordering the Trump Administration to

what Congress has to say about that. The Race to
Oscar season is officially on, but there's no shortage of
great new releases to dive into. Emma Stone stars in Pogonia,
and then HBO Max is getting emotional with Sorry Baby,
and Amy Poehler serving up a little bit of comfort
(32:43):
and comedy on her new podcast Good Hang. Joining me
with the latest and pop culture picks is ABC's Will Gans.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Good Morning, Will Hey, good morning. I hear you've got
quite the Halloween costume going on.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
I'm killing I am never one to turn away an
opportunity to dress up. Even though I sit in a
room by myself with no windows.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
No one sees me.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'm dressed as Jonathan Bailey from the Jurassic World movie
than summer. But the difference is that people are definitely
gonna see me today, So.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Well, well, I'll just have to take some pictures, take
some selfies, and I'll put it up on social media.
That's a great costumere you go. I'm going to go
on your Instagram and look at your costume later.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
On, and I'll return the favor I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
To see awesome. Okay, so let's talk about one of
my favorite subjects, which is entertainment news. Let's get started
with Bougonia. There was a lot of mixed reviews about
this film, but Emma Stone is already back in awards
contention for it. What makes this project stand out as
an Oscar season favorite?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I mean, first of all, it's her. So, this is
the youngest person to ever win the Best Actress Academy
Award twice, and she's teaming up with your Ghostlanthemos, which
is the director that she worked with in Poor Things.
So and it's similar in I guess tone maybe or
style to that movie. Like it's unsettling, it's weird. It's
(34:08):
not one that I would go see with my parents,
but it's one that I saw and I can't stop
thinking about because you know it is the performances first
of all from Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmins are fantastic.
And then you know, the last like fifteen minutes of
the movie really like take you to a place that
(34:29):
you don't think that you're going. So to remind anyone
who isn't familiar with what Pegona is, this is the
movie that's about two guys who are convinced that the
biomedical CEO who lives in their city is an alien,
and so they kidnap her and plan to convince her
to admit that she's an alien. And that happens within
(34:50):
the first you know, five minutes of the movie. So
I'm not giving too much away there, but yeah, it's
it's crazy it you know, the premise is crazy. The
where it goes even crazier. So if you're into those
sort of really stylistic, wacko sort of movies with really
great scripts and acting and directing and all of those things,
bougonias and theaters this weekend.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Okay, and Sorry Baby seems to be striking an emotional
chord with audiences. What's the story behind that?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Okay, So this is from writer, director, and star Eva
Victor and she I remember like hearing about this movie
over the summer. Everyone was like, oh my god, this
movie so great. It did really well at a lot
of the film festivals, and then was you know, had
a quiet release in theaters. But it's now on HBO
Max and it's called Sorry Baby, and it's about this
woman and she is in academia she lives alone, and
(35:39):
pretty much from the jump you know that something really
bad has happened to her, but you don't know what
it is. But the point of the movie is sort
of that, like, life continues even when you're dealing with,
you know, something horrible that's happened to you. So the
movie starts with her friend from New York coming to
visit her and telling her, Hey, guess what, I'm pregnant,
and so it's about their friendship and the way that
this this woman you know, navigates like life post you know,
(36:04):
terrible thing, and she's amazing in it, and it's just
it's emotional, it's funny, it's it's it's really really like
a lovely film that again I really like, I haven't
stopped thinking about it since I watched it, and it's
you know, free for anyone who has HBO Max Okay, and.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Really quickly before I let you go, one of my
favorite things to do right now is watch Amy Poehler's
Good Hanging Podcast. I know that sounds crazy because most
podcasts we listen to right but hers is like it's like.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
A talk show exactly. And the reason I wanted to
include it this week is because my first two recommendations
are a little heavy. So the idea behind this podcast,
as you know, is that Amy will invite a guest on,
but before they come on, she talks good about them
behind their back with some of their best friends or
their coworkers or whatever. And then when they're there, she
you know, catches up with them and asks them what
(36:55):
they're doing that makes them laugh or smile or how
they stay in such a tough time. And it's doing
incredibly well. I mean, like some episodes four million watches
on Spotify, which is like, you know, as much as
Joe Rogan and and you know, so yeah, it's crazy.
It's it's starting to really take off. And I don't
(37:17):
have to sell it to you. I know that you
love it already, so yeah, good hang with Amy Poehler
and and you can watch it or you can listen
to it like you would a traditional And I.
Speaker 7 (37:27):
Know, I'm going to go out on a limb here
and say, because you know, was it the Emmys that
just added a podcast category? Was it the Golden Globes one.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Of them did, yes, the Globe.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb here
and say, I think her show will probably likely get
nominated for a Globe.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
You're calling it early, and I agree with you. It's
just she is so good at it and it's like yeah,
And they also don't shy away from some of the
heavier topics like aging and you know, friendships and things
like like it's it checks a lot of boxes. I
just love it. Every time I listened, I do too well.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
For the record, my podcast also gets four million listens
every week. So me and Ami Puller will ganz thank
you so much, Happy Halloween, enjoy your day.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Thank you you too, talk to you later.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Please,
Shriff's deputies and CHP officers will be on the lookout
for anyone who drives while drinking or taking other intoxicants
this Halloween night. They say, with kids out trigger treating,
the need for safety is paramount, so be careful out there.
And escaping a zombie apocalypse is about where you're escaping from.
Speaker 13 (38:35):
A ranking of major cities puts la as the worst
place to survive a zombie uprisings. Course, we're made using
road conditions, population density, car ownership and other factors. Fort Worth, Texas,
came in first for zombie survivability because of smooth roads
and easy rural access, followed by San Diego because of
car ownership and low population density. LA's crappy roads and
(38:55):
dense population are why it came in last, followed by
San Francisco in New York. The company that put out
the ranking says a zombie POC is unlikely, but it's
food for thought for people trying to leave a city
because of a real world emergency. Michael Krozier k if

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.
