Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
App KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
That your host, Amy Kay.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Five o'clock straight up is the time. This is your
wake up call for Friday, August eighth. Good morning, I'm
Amy King. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And
if you're listening on the radio app, we need your
input today. I'll tell you about that in just a second.
And NLCONA, how did you know I was going to
a game this weekend because it's Kobe Bryant Bubblehead Day tomorrow. Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Really?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
It is?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's the game we're going to. That's awesome. If you
can snag a second one, Oh you can't. They kind
of patrol that. They kind of patrol that. Yeah, it's
going to be melty, that's what we've decided. But the
game starts at sick, so hopefully it'll start cooling off
maybe a little bit. Boy hot yesterday. Got another hot
(01:18):
day on the way today. But you know it was
so cool driving in and I mentioned this when I
see it, but man, I love a full moon. Yeah,
and I don't know if it's because the fires that
the moon is sort of it's more yellow than normally,
so it's, you know, not good that there's smoke in
the air, but man, it makes for a beautiful, beautiful moon.
I read a story that is quite frankly, just jaw
(01:42):
dropping to me. And this is where you come in
if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, because we would
love for you to weigh in on talkback. But I
read this story about gen Z job seekers. Seventy seven
percent brought their parents with them to the interview. What
(02:03):
I don't know if that means they tried to get
in the interview where they just took them to and
like sat out in the waiting room like you do
when you go to a doctor's office or something. But
there and these are adults, these are not kids that
are going. And then on top of that, fifty three
percent said their parent had spoken on their behalf to
the hiring manager. No, yes, no, I did you know
(02:27):
what Now I'm thinking back because I used to I
was in a management position and I did have somebody's
father call me one time. I immediately ruled him out
as a candidate.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Ineligible. Goodbye?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Can you so is this just the new norm or
is this okay? But again, seventy seven percent say they
brought a parent with them to a job interview, and
more than half had their parents call the hiring manager
on their behalf. So if you have something to say
about that, And again, maybe it's just the way of
(02:59):
the world now, but if you were hiring, would you
still consider that person?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's a big no no.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well we know how will Cole Schreibers. But on the
iHeartRadio app, there's that talkback button. It's up in the
upper right hand corner, a little microphone. Just hit that
let us know what you have to say. This beautiful
Friday morning. Okay, let's get down to business. Here's what's
ahead on wake up call. The fire burning near Lake
Piruo has grown to more than forty eight hundred acres
(03:28):
zero percent surrounded at this time. We're expecting an update
on the numbers soon. The fire started yesterday afternoon, quickly spread.
It's threatening Hasley Canyon and Hathaway Ranch, moving toward Valverdi.
Six areas are under evacuation orders, with two other neighborhoods
under evacuation warnings. The Gifford Fire and San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara Counties is fifteen percent surrounded, but it
(03:50):
has grown to more than ninety nine thousand acres. The
Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to lift
a court order barring federal agents for making arrests during
Ice mimigration raids that at LA federal judge determined were
carried out without probable cause. The emergency petition came after
an appeals court denied a request to lift the temporary
(04:10):
order that limited how those raids are carried out. It's
been five days since Texas Democratic lawmakers bugged out to
avoid a vote on redrawing congressional districts that favor Republicans.
ABC's Jim Ryan's going to join us in just a
couple of minutes to tell us what's next in that standoff.
What if you love your house but you have to move, well,
you could just take the house with you. Our very
(04:31):
own Dean Sharp joins us to tell us how that's
being done in LA right now, and how he rode
along for the experience that's coming up at five twenty,
And if you're ready to be scared, a nice, cool
theater this weekend, maybe the perfect place for you. ABC's
Will Gans joins us before the top of the hour
to share the terror plus Prepared to be freaked out,
(04:54):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A water outage
still effect nearly ten thousand LADWP custers in the northern
San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
The water outage has been affecting Los Angeles Department of
Water and Power customers in Border Ranch and Granada Hills
for two days now. Crews are working to repair a
broken valve, which is twenty feet underground. Work could last
through the weekend. Several restaurants and other businesses that relying
on the water have opted to close in the meantime.
Mark Mayfield KOFI.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
News La County DA Nathan Hackman has formerly opposed an
effort by the Menendez brothers to get a new trial.
His office filed its one hundred and thirty two page
response yesterday. Hawkman emphasized the strength of the original convictions
and what he called the lack of any legitimate basis
for retrial. Eric and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to life
in prison for murdering their parents with guns in nineteen
(05:49):
eighty nine. They were recently re sentenced to fifty years
to life, which gives them a shot at parole. A
hearing is set for later this month. The l Trump
administration has asked the Supreme Court to block in m
progration order issued in LA.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
The White House says the order threatens agent's ability to
enforce federal immigration law by hanging the prospect of contempt
over every stop of a suspected illegal alien. The order
bars immigration agents from stopping people based on their race, language, spoken,
or where they are working. The federal district judge says
agents need probable calls to make such stops. A federal
appeals court agreed and upheld that temporary restraining order. Immigration
(06:23):
enforcement actions have been much quieter since that decision compared
to earlier in the summer. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The original suit was brought by the ACLU and local governments.
A hearing on a possibly longer injunction has been scheduled
for District Court in September. We got lots of people
weighing in already on our little gen Z survey. We'd
love to hear what you have to say. On the
iHeartRadio app. Seventy seven percent of job seekers in gen
(06:52):
Z say they have taken their parent with them to
a job at interview. Is that okay? Love to hear
what you have to say. You can hit us up
again on the talkback on the iHeartRadio app. Let's say
good morning now too, ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, it's
been five days since more than fifty Democratic lawmakers bugged
out of Texas to stop the legislature from voting to
redraw congressional district lines in favor of Republicans. So what
(07:15):
is the latest.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
Well, here, in a few hours, six hours, I guess yeah,
the Texas Legislature will be gable to order. The House
Speaker will bang the gavel, they'll look around the room
see if there's a quorum. President he'll gable it shut
and adjourned for the weekend almost immediately. Because there will
be no quorum President, it's expected that the fifty plus
Democrats who are out of Austin to avoid a vote
(07:39):
on this pamp will stay. Oh way they're doing so,
the threats of arrest from the Governor of Texas, threats
of an investigation by the FBI. Inspired by Senator John Cornyn.
He says he went to kash Ftel yesterday and asked
for an investigation, actually the FBI to get involved, and
apparently that's going to happen, don't know. Now. Just a
(08:01):
few hours ago, the Attorney general here in Texas Amy
has reached out to courts, to a court in Illinois
because these Democrats, most of them are in Illinois, asking
that court to enforce the Texas arrest warrants. So there's
again this push to try to have lawmakers arrested, haul
back to Texas, taken into the state House in Austin
(08:23):
and forced to vote.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay, so just to recap. So, they have these arrest
warrants out for them in Texas, but they can't send
Texas rangers across state lines. Their jurisdiction ends there. So
that's why they're asking Illinois.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
Well, if they were criminal charges, criminal arrest warrants, they
probably could go to Warverd State and pick these people up.
But these are civil arrest warrants. So no, they don't
have any action or enforceability outside of Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay, so how long can they can they hold out?
I mean, can they just stay indefinitely.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
They could. Sure the current special session will expire. It's
going to run out to eleven days from now, I
think on the nineteenth, and so that'll be it, right
the end of the redistricting this time around, No, Texas
Governor A. Greg Abbott is likely to call another special
session and if it isn't done, then then another special session.
The most ever in the state's history was five special
(09:17):
sessions called back in the nineteen seventies by legendary Governor
Dolf Briscoe. And they were talking then about not redistricting,
but talking about school finance, about property taxes, those kinds
of things. But it's possible and maybe even likely that
there may be more special sessions if in fact, it
isn't done this time.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Okay, so it's a big Texas standoff, and I know
that I have so many more questions about this, this
whole thing. It's just so interesting because I think it's
sort of an exercise and futility. Eventually they have to
come back. But yeah, but we'll talk about it another day.
Jim Ryan, have a wonderful day. I know you've got
other places to be.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Have a nice weekend.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Thanks for your time. Appreciate it. I yeah, I just
think it's so fascinating. They're like, I'm to take my
ball and go home. And both sides of the isle
have done it, both Republicans and Democrats, so you know
you can't point fingers necessarily. So what do you think
about kids taking their parents to their job interviews? Gen
(10:17):
z as study shows that seventy seven percent admit that
they have taken their parents to a job interview with them.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
What do you think in the ever evolving world of
the snowflake, more snowflakes will multiply.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
So yes, this will.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
Become the standard going forward, more and more and more
until people start to raise full adults again.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Raise full adults again. Okay, here we get another one.
I think this is Shane listening in Kentucky on the
iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
There is absolutely no.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Way that is true.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
That's over seventy percent of parents go to the job
interviews with their children.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I just can't believe that.
Speaker 10 (10:58):
That is nuts.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm telling you. It's a survey done in July twenty
twenty five from resume template, seventy seven percent of gen
Z respondents admitted to bringing a parent with them to
a job interview, and over half say their parents have
called the hiring manager. We'd love to hear what you
have to say. Weigh in on the iHeartRadio app. Just
hit the talkback button and let us know how you feel.
(11:22):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Army has
honored the Fort Stewart soldiers who took down the sergeant
accused of shooting five people on base. Army Secretary Dan
Driscoll awarded six soldiers the Meritorious Service Medal for their
actions during the shooting on Wednesday. Five soldiers were wounded
in the shooting. All are expected to recover. The Air
(11:44):
Force has denied early retirement for some transgender service members.
They'll be offered a lump sum separation payment instead. Master
Sergeant Logan Ireland served fifteen years in the Air Force
and had decided to take a common option to retire early,
but he says that this week he was told he's
not going to get that benefit.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
I was promised this, I had my retirement orders in hand.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The military says transgender service members with fifteen to eighteen
years of service will not be granted early retirement. The
Air Force has reportedly approved early retirement for transgender soldiers
with over eighteen years of service. Two groups have threatened
to sue the Coast Guard and the National Marine Fishery
Service for failing to protect marine life along the California coast.
(12:26):
The groups say current shipping lanes are causing deadly collisions
between ships and sea turtles and whales. Twenty four whales
have died in the Bay Area this year, many from
ship strikes. The agencies have sixty days to respond before
the lawsuit moves forward. Experts say AI could match human
intelligence within a year, leading to the end of mankind.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
Jeffrey Hinton won a Nobel Prize last year for his
work on AI. He and others, including the chief executives
of Open Ai, Anthropic and Google Deep Mind, say AI
could reach artificial general intelligence within a year and soon
have to reach artificial superintelligence or ASI, at which point
it would regard humanity as a competitor. Experts including Elon Musk,
say there's a twenty percent chance of extinction from AI,
(13:09):
while others put it at ninety five percent. Many are
pushing for a pause on AI, but politicians are going
the other direction, with the Trump administration announcing a plan
last month to deregulate AI research. Michael Krozier k if
I News.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Okidoki, all right, what do you think? Do you think
it's okay to take your mom and dad with you
to a job interview because a new study says seventy
seven percent of gen zers have actually done it.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
I'm forty years old. If I go to a job
interview and I see someone in there that's a millennial
with a parent or a guard again with I know
I have a good chance at the job as.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
All right, And then how about let's hear from a
gen Z.
Speaker 12 (14:00):
You have to be kidding me.
Speaker 10 (14:01):
I'm gen X, oh gen X mart mother and father
told me to go myself, apply and sell myself.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
What kind of candy a people do we have? These
are not even grown folks.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Good, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It's just crazy to me. But you know what, and
maybe that's maybe that's the way of the world, is
the one person on talk perk talk Pack said, But
we'd love to hear how you feel about this. And
in this study that I told you about, resume templates
did the study they surveyed eight hundred and thirty one
gen Z adults who are employed full time. One in
(14:38):
six hiring managers also reported that applicants used their phones
during the interview. During the interview, well atrophone, Wy'd you
get a text or something? Excuse me for just a second,
but would love to hear what you have to say
on the iHeartRadio app. Just to hit that TALKBAC button
(14:59):
and let us know how you. La Mayor Bass's water
trucks have been deployed to port a ranch in Granada Hills,
where ninety two hundred residents are without water because of
a broken water valve in a pipe that's buried more
than twenty feet underground. Repairs are taking longer than anticipated.
They're expected to continue through the weekend. Affected residents picking
up cases of water from three distribution centers set up
(15:21):
in the area. Despite highly publicized immigration raids, arrests of
illegal immigrants have dropped nearly in half in the LA
area between June and July. New figures released by Homeland
Security show in the first month of the ice raids
that started in early June, just under twenty eight hundred
arrests were made, but last month that number dropped to
under fourteen hundred. A six year old boy is recovering
(15:42):
after being attacked by a coyote at his sister's softball
game in Carson. It happened Monday at the softball field
at Delamo Park. The boy's mom says she ran over
when she heard her son screaming. The coyote bit the
boy on the back of his head and both of
his legs before mom scared it off. He's got twenty
stitches and got to get several raby shots. Better safe
(16:04):
than sorry on that one. Let's say good morning now
to the host of home on KFI. The house whispered
Dean Sharp. So Dean, you have a house, you love it,
and you have to move. You know you could just
take it with you.
Speaker 13 (16:16):
Well, in theory, yes you could, in theory. There's some
really interesting things happening in La right now. One of
them that caught my eye earlier this week that I
just wanted to share with you was that as a
result of a very creative solution to losing a home
in the Eton fire in Altadena, and you know, Altadena,
(16:38):
Unlike Pacific Palisades, Alta Dina is filled with century homes,
homes that were built in the nineteen twenties, and not
only did people struggle with losing their home to the fire,
but also the idea of like, well, I don't some
residents just didn't want to rebuild a brand new home.
They wanted their one hundred year old home.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
With all of that old world craftsmanship and such.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
Well, there's an architectural firm that had a really creative idea.
The name of the firm is Omgivning omgivening. I think
I got that right. It's a Danish word. It means ambiance. Anyway,
they're a really cool architectural firm, and they said, you
know what, we started looking at Los Angeles demolition permits,
(17:25):
in other words, homes that were scheduled to be demolished
in Los Angeles. And you would think, well, nobody wants
that kind of a home. That's not true. Some homes
get scheduled to be demolished because they've been condemned and
they're not worth living in anymore. But a lot of
homes out there, especially older ones, are subject to property
takeovers and various other things, and they're perfectly good homes
(17:49):
that are just scheduled to be torn down because the
owners are making deals to do other things. And here
this architectural firm has found at least two of these
homes that are one hundred year old homes. This one
that I was looking at in the article here was
a craftsman is a craftsman home. And they made a deal,
(18:11):
They facilitated a deal between the owner of that property
to sell that home for a dollar. And yeah, sell
the home for the materials on the lot for a dollar.
And the new buyers are folks who lost their home
in the Eaten fire, and they are paying to have
this home moved. And this actually happened earlier this week
(18:32):
phase one of this. The home was jacked up, put
on soldier piles, and moved twenty four miles across LA
to its new home, which is a lot that had
suffered the loss of its century home in Altadena. And
I just think that's the coolest, coolest creative solution one
(18:54):
of them to having lost a century home.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh yeah, so logistically, you have to take the home apart, right,
You can't just put the whole house up, or can.
Speaker 13 (19:04):
You, Yeah, you have to take it apart. They have
to take it apart in segments. They take it apart
in segments used to be. If you're out in a
rural area, you could, in theory, transport the entire thing
in one move, but la streets are not that wide,
they're not big enough to handle that, and so you've
got to take the second story gets dismantled, located down
(19:28):
in the first story, and then the first story gets
segmented into two or three parts. And even that is
a logistical nightmare. This home they had to acquire I
believe twenty one different street use permits to get it
the twenty four miles from where it lived to Alta Dina.
But the point is it can be done, and it
(19:50):
can be done for less expense than building a brand
new home.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
It'll be interesting to see if it kind of catches on,
you know, like if several people do this.
Speaker 13 (20:02):
Yeah, I think there's already one other scheduled, and this
architectural firm is actually contacting house by house, lot by lot,
the residents of Alta Dina who've lost homes and finding
out if they're even interested in the idea. I would
imagine there would be a few more takers, but I
don't think it's going to be like a whole thing.
(20:24):
But the idea, though, is one that I love, which
is you've got a home over in Los phelis a
beautiful craftsman home scheduled to be demolished. Why tear it down?
Why lose all that history? Why lose all that craftsmanship
when it can simply be moved and used by somebody
else who really really needs it on the other side
of town.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I love that. I love that idea. Yeah, it's cool.
What's old is new and what's new on Home with
Dean Sharp this weekend? What are you gonna be talking about?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You know what?
Speaker 13 (20:54):
I'm not sure what we're going to be talking about,
because every few weeks we set aside the entire weekend
to take nothing but calls, and that's what we're doing
this weekend. As is with our call shows, our listeners
set the agenda so they can call and talk to
me about anything they want, design, construction, diy architecture, problems
(21:15):
with your house, how to fix the leaky toilet, or
what new style they should implement in their living room
and everything in between.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And you can call Dean and hear what he has
to say about your home six to eight tomorrow morning,
nine to noon on Sunday, the show is called Home
with Dean Sharp. Very creative name.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
It's a little on point, I know, but you know what,
it gets the job done, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You can also follow Dean at Home with Dean. I
love the idea of the houses, you know, just preserving
the old.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Good stuff? Dean Sharp, thanks so much for your time
this morning. Appreciate it.
Speaker 13 (21:55):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Isn't that cool? Move a whole house? Triple digitat is
baking southern California.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
But there is a little relief insight.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Yeah, So it looks like this week it might be
a slight improvement in temperatures and then maybe a secondary
peak into early next week.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Doctor Robbie Monroe with the National Weather Service says temps
will hit one hundred and eighteen in the deserts and
could break records in places like Lancaster. A brief cool
down is expected, but another heat wave looms next week.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
We will be dealing with heat off and on through
early next week at least.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
The extreme heat is fueling wildfire danger as well, including
the massive Gifford fire.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Heatherbroker Cafe Ie News, It's so hot?
Speaker 14 (22:35):
How hot is it?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Thank you? Will the asphalt temperature at Palm Springs International
Airport was one hundred and sixty three degrees yesterday. Airports
are taking extra precautions because of the weather. Extreme heat
can impact aircraft operations, and airlines can only send planes
that can handle the heat. A candidate for governor of
California says he will sue Governor Nusom over plans to
(22:57):
redraw Republican congressional seats.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
This illegal and unconstitutional scheme to steal Republican House seats.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Former Fox News host Steve Hilton, who's a Republican, says
Newsom is playing partisan games. Newsom says his plan is
in direct response to Texas Republicans looking to eliminate Democrat
held congressional seats. A judge has approved a nearly two
and a half million dollars settlement of a lawsuit against
the Archdiocese of Los Angeles by current and former cemetery workers.
(23:28):
They alleged that they weren't fully paid for all the
hours they worked. The ruling effects over eight hundred employees.
Most Americans get more than half of their calories from
foods that aren't so fresh.
Speaker 15 (23:39):
The CDC says, overall, about fifty five percent of calories
consumed by Americans older than the age of one came
from ultra processed foods. During August of twenty twenty one
to August of twenty twenty three. The top sources include
burgers and sandwiches, sweet baked goods, savory snacks, pizza, and
sweetened drinks. Ultra Processed foods have the linked to chronic
(24:00):
health problems. Deborah Mark, Kay, I'll find news.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, but they're so tasty.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's a pizza.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Come on, Deborah. Hey, we're asking you on the talk
back to weigh in about whether you think it's okay
or just plain crazy. The seventy seven percent of gen
z ER's survey and said, yeah, I took my parent
with me to a job interview, and half had their parents,
or maybe they didn't ask their parents to do it,
(24:29):
but their parents called the hiring manager on their behalf.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
What do you think, Hey, this is ramon another gen X, sir.
I don't think they qualify for any kind of job
of any mommy and daddy to troll along with them.
I hit twenty five applications in two days to get
a second job on my own. They can't do it
(24:54):
with one for one without a parent holding their hand.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Come on you, Gomon, Yeah, Yeah, I'd love to hear
what you have to say. Hit us up on the
talk back button on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Immigration rights groups are calling for
businesses in southern California to come to a halt.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
The group say a community stoppage is what's necessary in
the wake of a federal immigration operation near a Home
Depot store in Westlake. Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights LA
Executive director on Helica Salaw says, immigrants, regardless of legal status,
can show they have power.
Speaker 9 (25:28):
We're asking you to stand strong in order for us
to demonstrate.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
That we matter the groups of targeted large corporations like
Home Depot as well as fast food restaurants for benefiting
from immigrant labor and money but not speaking up on
their behalf. The community stoppage is set for Tuesday. Michael
Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
LA County supervisors have issued a local emergency proclamation because
of the fire that started near Lake Piru and is
threatening homes in the Santa Clarita area. The fire started
yesterday afternoon as temperatures topped one hundred degrees in some areas.
It spread quickly as it burned toward La County. It
has now burned nearly five thousand acres were expecting new
(26:08):
numbers any time. Evacuation orders and warnings have been issued
for parts of La and Ventura Counties. About two thousand
people under evacuation orders in another fourteen thousand under warnings.
New research has linked climate change to an earlier start
to the state's wildfire season.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
A study from Science Advances looked at data collected from
nineteen ninety two to twenty twenty, showing that eleven of
the state's thirteen ecoregions are now seeing fire seasons begin
significantly earlier compared to the nineteen nineties. In some areas,
fires are starting one week to more than two months
earlier than in the nineties. Scientists cite rising temperatures, early snowmelt,
less winter rain, and drier soil as the main causes.

California plans to prepare students for careers in AI. Governor
Newsom says the state is partnered with Google, Adobe, IBM,
and Microsoft, and it's not going to cause costs the
state anything.
Speaker 16 (27:00):
Simply no other jurisdiction, no other region, no other state
in the world that can lay claim to the kind
of entrepreneurial, innovative spirit, kind of investments that are being
made here the human capital.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The agreement will help high school, community college, and California
State University students learn essential AI skills. Schools will update
their programs to incorporate the newest AI technologies, offer internship opportunities,
and enhance access to advanced learning tools for all California students.
About fifteen to twenty k nine wave riders will be
(27:32):
hang in ten to find out who is top dog
at the World Dog Surfing Championships near San Francisco. It's
being held at Pacific State Beach tomorrow. It's expected to
draw thousands of spectators. There are single rider heats, dogs
surfing tandem with other dogs, and also dogs riding tandem
with their humans. Judges score participating pooches on how long
(27:54):
they remain on the boards, how long they can hold
their balance, and whether they perform any tricks like turning
around well ride in the waves. Winners of the event
tomorrow we'll receive medals and wagging rights is not hang
twenty if you're not hang ten, because there's well, you know,
if they had all twenty up on the front of
the board, it might be a little precarious. Good point, Okay,
(28:18):
time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho Morning, Courtney.
Speaker 12 (28:22):
Good morning, Happy Friday, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Okay. So Friday might be a good time to go
out to eat, but there are fewer diners going to
one establishment.
Speaker 12 (28:32):
Yeah, because more folks are watching their wallets, are saying
no too expensive salads. A Sweet Green chopped its revenue
forecast for the year, but to try to get folks
in the door, the chain is focused on improving how
customers perceive the value of its meal, so that fifteen
dollars salad they want to say, all right, this is
worth it. So they're increasing their chicken and tofu portions
(28:54):
by twenty five percent, and they also upgraded some recipes
to improve the taste and quality.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
You know what, I do love a good Sweet Green salad.
And yeah there's another place. Sweet Tomatoes is another one.
They're delicious, okay, But.
Speaker 12 (29:06):
One thing is about Sweet Green is that if you
really like it, they're discontinuing the ripple fries. If you
tried it, it's been in there only five months. They
were air fried, made with avocado oil, healthier oil. Customers
like the fries, but they added that it had too
much complexity in the kitchen to get them out the door.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Oh okay, all right, so keep it simple. Stick with salads. Yes,
let's stick with food and talk about Wendy's, which I
just had this week because of the special Wednesday meal.
But what's going on with Wendy's.
Speaker 12 (29:36):
And they're saying that customers are pressured by the economy,
so they're trying to do some of those specials to
entice people in the door.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So they have deals for app users.
Speaker 12 (29:46):
They brought out new versions of the frosty and also
that meal tie in with those Spicy talkies I Love
Talkies that.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Launched in late June.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
So they're also trying to expand their hours. They're making
a push for breakfast and late night business too.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, you know what. I know, we were just doing
a story about processed food and all that, but man,
I love a good fast food late at night. Oh
I do too, exactly. So there's fries. Yeah, there's a
lot of drama around Gold today.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
Why, Yeah, surprise, tariffs taking the shine off of gold.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Today. Border Patrol clarified that.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
Gold bars face tariffs and they're not exempted, but the
industry thought that they were initially. But the move could
upend all the trade flows that we're seeing from Switzerland.
Other key trading hubs and traders are now scrambling to
understand the situation, and we're seeing gold futures popping higher
this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Gold is stupid expensive right now thirty thirty four hundred
and seventy two dollars ninety cents per ounce.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yeah, and now thirty five because of this move today.
And remember that the US imports large volumes of gold
from Switzerland. That's the world's biggest gold refining hubs. So
this is a big problem. They're looking right to Switzerland
and saying, oof, this is going to be price. Your
traders are looking there, so okay. Irish whisky boom is
facing a hangover well. A number of distilleries in Ireland
(31:09):
have closed or cut their production in recent months. Tariffs
are a further hit to an industry that has faced
a number of headwinds. Demand for Irish whiskey and the
US started to drive about two years ago after the
boom from the pandemic. At the same time, the cost
of making whiskey has increased. For example, electricity prices have
essentially doubled in Ireland over the last four years.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Wow, Okay, so that's interesting. So they're like just shutting
down altogether, as opposed to kind of scaling back to
where they were.
Speaker 12 (31:36):
Yeah, some are scaling back. Some are shutting down because
they just can't do it anymore. I mean, the cost
of models are even more expensive.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
It's been rough now.
Speaker 12 (31:44):
The US and the European Union, of which Ireland is
a member, they continue to negotiate exemptions on tariffs for
wines and spirits, but there's no guarantee that'll happen, and
that's making a lot of Irish whiskey providers a little
bit worried.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
All right, getting in your business like we do every
day with Bloomberg, Courtney, Donahoe, Courtney, have a wonderful weekend.
We'll talk to you Monday morning. Enjoy see you later,
all right, see you, and when we come back, prepare
to be freaked out. Will gans is going to join
us to tell us about that. And on the stream
a season finale coming this weekend. These seasons go by
so quickly. Now. Also, if you have a second, hit
(32:19):
us up on the talk back and let us know
what you think about this survey gen Z. They surveyed
like more than eight hundred of them, seventy seven percent said, yeah,
I took my parents with me to a job interview.
I'd like to actually hear from someone in gen Z.
You know, see what they have to say. I mean,
equal time on all that.
Speaker 12 (32:40):
Right, you call it from Kenny Lake, you won't get
a gen Z.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
You're calling in and it's way too early for them.
Speaker 15 (32:46):
They're still touched in bed at home with their money.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh no, no, I don't want it to be a
bashing thing. I just maybe it's just a new mentality.
It's just a different way of thinking. Like when I
was I would never think of my parents being anywhere
in the vicinity exactly.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I'd be mortified if my parents even thought they should
get involved.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
No, no, no, Yeah, it's a it's a whole new world. Hey,
did you know that today is pickleball Day? I just
heard that pickleball day. I've never played, have you know
I haven't played because everybody I know is getting injured.
My best friend's sister shattered her her wrist. She fell
(33:30):
playing pickleball, literally shattered her wrist. It's been like two months.
She still doesn't even have mobility back in her wrist.
I mean, it's really bad, and I keep hearing about
everybody getting hurt. So I'm like, eh, I better just
stay away.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Parents are not staying away from job interviews with their children.
A new survey says seventy seven percent of gen Z
kids have taken their parents with them to a job interview.
We'd love to hear what you have to say. You
can hit us up on the talk back. It's up
in the right hand corner on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 14 (34:03):
Cherry from Kenya Lake, Hey, you think about it, It's
not a bad gig for the employer if the parents
come along on the interview, because for them, if they're
coming along in the interview, they're part of the application
process and therefore, when the young person gets hired, then
the employer knows that the parent will be there to
(34:26):
fill in when that child gets sick.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Well that's one way to think about it.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Erry. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four
hour news from a lot of people may not be working.
This coming Tuesday, immigrant rights advocates and labor organizations plan
to hold what they're calling a twenty four hour community
stoppage in protest of the ice rates in southern California.
The boycott's calling for people to avoid working or shopping
at businesses like Home Depot, Target, Walmart, McDonald's, and Penske.
(34:55):
Researchers say climate change is bumped up the fire season
in California. Data from Science Advances shows that in most
areas of the state, fire season is starting anywhere from
a week to two months earlier now than it did
in nineteen ninety two. The study says it's because of
rising temperatures, early snow, melt, less winter rain, and drier
soil conditions. Trump administration is trying to terminate a twenty
(35:18):
eight year old consent decree that governs how immigrant children
are detained in federal custody. A hearing is going to
be held in downtown LA to determine whether to maintain
or strike down safeguards that require kids be held in
license facilities and then release to family members or guardians
as soon as possible. Let's say Good morning, now to
(35:38):
ABC's multi platform reporter Will Gans Morning, Will.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Hey, good morning, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Happy Friday. So I don't know about what it's like
in New York, but it is scorching hot here in
LA So it might be a perfect weekend to head
into a nice, air conditioned movie theater.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yes, and you can still get your heart rate out
in an air conditioned movie theater if you're into horror movies.
Some are saying that this is the best of the year.
Weapons is on the big screen this weekend. It has
like ninety six percent on Rotten Tomatoes right now, and
I went and saw yesterday and my heart rate certainly
did jump up. So this is the one. It's Julia
(36:19):
Garner and she plays kindergarten teacher and one night, seventeen
students in her classroom all get up in the middle
of the night from their respective homes and just vanish
into the night. They walk out the front door and
they don't come back. So that's how the movie starts,
and the rest of it is told from six different perspectives.
(36:41):
One of the parents a cop in the town. Julia
Garner is one of them. So six different characters, each
trying to piece together what happened, what led to that,
and how they might be able to get these kids
back home safely. So it is very freaky. Parts of
it are very gory and growth, but it is if
(37:03):
you like herror, it's a very very good one. And
the other crazy thing about this movie too, it's like
parts of it are also very funny. So sometimes you'll
find yourself and the people around you laughing in your
seats at the movie theater and you sort of lull
yourself into a false sense of security and then all
of a sudden, bam, you're jumping out of your chair again.
So it's fun in.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
That way for sure.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
All right, So it's called Weapons that hits the screens
this weekend. And then here's something that just might freak
you out. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lowan back together again.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Yes, this is the fun kind of freak out for sure,
And this is one that I would say almost the
entire family can handle. So this is a follow up
to the movie from the early two thousands.
Speaker 13 (37:45):
Here we are.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Over two decades later, and Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay
Lohan are teaming up together again. This time Lindsay Lohan
is apparent as well, and instead of two people switching bodies,
we have four people switching bodies and it's a lot
of fun and you know, it does all the things
that you would want this Disney movie to do.
Speaker 12 (38:06):
Well.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
You know, it's it's funny, it moves along quickly, but
it also has a lot of heart in it, and
you know, it's you're reminded of the pretty simple lesson
like if you can't understand somebody, you just have to
walk a mile in their shoes and then, you know,
for families like that, it's a lovely lesson to share
with with your kiddos if you are headed to the
movie theater this weekend. Plus there's those fun like callbacks
(38:29):
to you know, the original movie from the early two thousands,
which I guess technically isn't the original movie. These are
all based on a book that was written in the seventies.
But you know what I mean, it's a lot of
fun for millennials.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think, Yeah, I think it'll be interesting to see too.
How that does the box office, Like is there still
a draw for this? I mean I know that they've
been out, you know, promoting and that kind of stuff,
but it'll be interesting. Well we'll wait, we'll find out
on Monday, I guess exactly. And then if you're going
to be camped out on the couch on the stream,
well you have to wait till on Sunday. But the
(39:00):
Fielded Age is almost done this season.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Yeah, so this is the third season of that show,
and this is the best season of the Gilded Age.
So maybe you tried it in season one and you're like,
it's a little slow for me or something like that.
The show has really found its footing and its rhythm
in season three. I'm obsessed with it. I think it's
the best thing on television right now in the middle
of the summer. And you know, the last episode there
(39:26):
was a little bit of a cliffhanger slifhanger. Yes, yes,
a lot of people will be tuning in on Sunday.
And the other interesting thing about this show is that
for the last several weeks, it's broken its own viewership records,
so more and more people are tuning in every single
week to watch, which I think shows that you know,
it is picking up momentum and steam. And then it
(39:46):
was just renewed for season four, so it's if you're
not on the Gilded Age train yet, I would recommend joining.
It's you know, it's got such a great cast, Carrie Cohon,
who everyone fell in love with in The White Lotus
this season, it's amazing in it. And yeah, the season
three finale will air Sunday night on HBO.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, I know that I will be watching it. I'm
also a big fan, a big fan of Will Gan's.
Thanks so much, Will. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
All right, am, we have a great weekend.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Before we wrap things up for the day and for
the week again, we've been asking you to weigh in
on this information that we got about gen Z. Over
eight hundred of them were asked, and seventy seven percent said, yeah,
I take my parents to a job interview, and more
than fifty percent of parents called the hiring manager about
(40:38):
their kid. Is this okay?
Speaker 4 (40:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Is what is going on?
Speaker 17 (40:47):
Good morning, Amy. I think this all started in the
eighties when my kids were playing soccer for eg Ya
Soul period. Everyone used to get a trophy. These people
would just hover around their kids. They were only five,
they already thought they were soccer superstars.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah, that's very interesting. So are you bringing your kid
up to be self sufficient, do things on his own.
Speaker 18 (41:12):
Good morning, Amy, This is herman from Catalena, Island. I
told my twenty one year old steps on when you
go interview, you dress nice. You have some nice shoes on,
nice pants, nice shirt. You look the part, act the part,
be the part, and have confidence.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I like that be the part. So thanks for waging
and appreciate it. That's fun. I I'm just still astounded
by those numbers. Thanks so much for starting your day
with wake up Call. We got handle on the news
coming up next. This is KFI and KOST HD two

App KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:21):

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Five o'clock straight up is the time. This is your
wake up call for Friday, August eighth. Good morning, I'm
Amy King. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And
if you're listening on the radio app, we need your
input today. I'll tell you about that in just a second.
And NLCONA, how did you know I was going to
a game this weekend because it's Kobe Bryant Bubblehead Day tomorrow. Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Really?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
It is?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's the game we're going to. That's awesome. If you
can snag a second one, Oh you can't. They kind
of patrol that. They kind of patrol that. Yeah, it's
going to be melty, that's what we've decided. But the
game starts at sick, so hopefully it'll start cooling off
maybe a little bit. Boy hot yesterday. Got another hot
(01:18):
day on the way today. But you know it was
so cool driving in and I mentioned this when I
see it, but man, I love a full moon. Yeah,
and I don't know if it's because the fires that
the moon is sort of it's more yellow than normally,
so it's, you know, not good that there's smoke in
the air, but man, it makes for a beautiful, beautiful moon.
I read a story that is quite frankly, just jaw
(01:42):
dropping to me. And this is where you come in
if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, because we would
love for you to weigh in on talkback. But I
read this story about gen Z job seekers. Seventy seven
percent brought their parents with them to the interview. What
(02:03):
I don't know if that means they tried to get
in the interview where they just took them to and
like sat out in the waiting room like you do
when you go to a doctor's office or something. But
there and these are adults, these are not kids that
are going. And then on top of that, fifty three
percent said their parent had spoken on their behalf to
the hiring manager. No, yes, no, I did you know
(02:27):
what Now I'm thinking back because I used to I
was in a management position and I did have somebody's
father call me one time. I immediately ruled him out
as a candidate.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Ineligible. Goodbye?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Can you so is this just the new norm or
is this okay? But again, seventy seven percent say they
brought a parent with them to a job interview, and
more than half had their parents call the hiring manager
on their behalf. So if you have something to say
about that, And again, maybe it's just the way of
(02:59):
the world now, but if you were hiring, would you
still consider that person?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's a big no no.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well we know how will Cole Schreibers. But on the
iHeartRadio app, there's that talkback button. It's up in the
upper right hand corner, a little microphone. Just hit that
let us know what you have to say. This beautiful
Friday morning. Okay, let's get down to business. Here's what's
ahead on wake up call. The fire burning near Lake
Piruo has grown to more than forty eight hundred acres
(03:28):
zero percent surrounded at this time. We're expecting an update
on the numbers soon. The fire started yesterday afternoon, quickly spread.
It's threatening Hasley Canyon and Hathaway Ranch, moving toward Valverdi.
Six areas are under evacuation orders, with two other neighborhoods
under evacuation warnings. The Gifford Fire and San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara Counties is fifteen percent surrounded, but it
(03:50):
has grown to more than ninety nine thousand acres. The
Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to lift
a court order barring federal agents for making arrests during
Ice mimigration raids that at LA federal judge determined were
carried out without probable cause. The emergency petition came after
an appeals court denied a request to lift the temporary
(04:10):
order that limited how those raids are carried out. It's
been five days since Texas Democratic lawmakers bugged out to
avoid a vote on redrawing congressional districts that favor Republicans.
ABC's Jim Ryan's going to join us in just a
couple of minutes to tell us what's next in that standoff.
What if you love your house but you have to move, well,
you could just take the house with you. Our very
(04:31):
own Dean Sharp joins us to tell us how that's
being done in LA right now, and how he rode
along for the experience that's coming up at five twenty,
And if you're ready to be scared, a nice, cool
theater this weekend, maybe the perfect place for you. ABC's
Will Gans joins us before the top of the hour
to share the terror plus Prepared to be freaked out,
(04:54):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A water outage
still effect nearly ten thousand LADWP custers in the northern
San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
The water outage has been affecting Los Angeles Department of
Water and Power customers in Border Ranch and Granada Hills
for two days now. Crews are working to repair a
broken valve, which is twenty feet underground. Work could last
through the weekend. Several restaurants and other businesses that relying
on the water have opted to close in the meantime.
Mark Mayfield KOFI.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
News La County DA Nathan Hackman has formerly opposed an
effort by the Menendez brothers to get a new trial.
His office filed its one hundred and thirty two page
response yesterday. Hawkman emphasized the strength of the original convictions
and what he called the lack of any legitimate basis
for retrial. Eric and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to life
in prison for murdering their parents with guns in nineteen
(05:49):
eighty nine. They were recently re sentenced to fifty years
to life, which gives them a shot at parole. A
hearing is set for later this month. The l Trump
administration has asked the Supreme Court to block in m
progration order issued in LA.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
The White House says the order threatens agent's ability to
enforce federal immigration law by hanging the prospect of contempt
over every stop of a suspected illegal alien. The order
bars immigration agents from stopping people based on their race, language, spoken,
or where they are working. The federal district judge says
agents need probable calls to make such stops. A federal
appeals court agreed and upheld that temporary restraining order. Immigration
(06:23):
enforcement actions have been much quieter since that decision compared
to earlier in the summer. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The original suit was brought by the ACLU and local governments.
A hearing on a possibly longer injunction has been scheduled
for District Court in September. We got lots of people
weighing in already on our little gen Z survey. We'd
love to hear what you have to say. On the
iHeartRadio app. Seventy seven percent of job seekers in gen
(06:52):
Z say they have taken their parent with them to
a job at interview. Is that okay? Love to hear
what you have to say. You can hit us up
again on the talkback on the iHeartRadio app. Let's say
good morning now too, ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, it's
been five days since more than fifty Democratic lawmakers bugged
out of Texas to stop the legislature from voting to
redraw congressional district lines in favor of Republicans. So what
(07:15):
is the latest.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
Well, here, in a few hours, six hours, I guess yeah,
the Texas Legislature will be gable to order. The House
Speaker will bang the gavel, they'll look around the room
see if there's a quorum. President he'll gable it shut
and adjourned for the weekend almost immediately. Because there will
be no quorum President, it's expected that the fifty plus
Democrats who are out of Austin to avoid a vote
(07:39):
on this pamp will stay. Oh way they're doing so,
the threats of arrest from the Governor of Texas, threats
of an investigation by the FBI. Inspired by Senator John Cornyn.
He says he went to kash Ftel yesterday and asked
for an investigation, actually the FBI to get involved, and
apparently that's going to happen, don't know. Now. Just a
(08:01):
few hours ago, the Attorney general here in Texas Amy
has reached out to courts, to a court in Illinois
because these Democrats, most of them are in Illinois, asking
that court to enforce the Texas arrest warrants. So there's
again this push to try to have lawmakers arrested, haul
back to Texas, taken into the state House in Austin
(08:23):
and forced to vote.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay, so just to recap. So, they have these arrest
warrants out for them in Texas, but they can't send
Texas rangers across state lines. Their jurisdiction ends there. So
that's why they're asking Illinois.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
Well, if they were criminal charges, criminal arrest warrants, they
probably could go to Warverd State and pick these people up.
But these are civil arrest warrants. So no, they don't
have any action or enforceability outside of Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay, so how long can they can they hold out?
I mean, can they just stay indefinitely.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
They could. Sure the current special session will expire. It's
going to run out to eleven days from now, I
think on the nineteenth, and so that'll be it, right
the end of the redistricting this time around, No, Texas
Governor A. Greg Abbott is likely to call another special
session and if it isn't done, then then another special session.
The most ever in the state's history was five special
(09:17):
sessions called back in the nineteen seventies by legendary Governor
Dolf Briscoe. And they were talking then about not redistricting,
but talking about school finance, about property taxes, those kinds
of things. But it's possible and maybe even likely that
there may be more special sessions if in fact, it
isn't done this time.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Okay, so it's a big Texas standoff, and I know
that I have so many more questions about this, this
whole thing. It's just so interesting because I think it's
sort of an exercise and futility. Eventually they have to
come back. But yeah, but we'll talk about it another day.
Jim Ryan, have a wonderful day. I know you've got
other places to be.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Have a nice weekend.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Thanks for your time. Appreciate it. I yeah, I just
think it's so fascinating. They're like, I'm to take my
ball and go home. And both sides of the isle
have done it, both Republicans and Democrats, so you know
you can't point fingers necessarily. So what do you think
about kids taking their parents to their job interviews? Gen
(10:17):
z as study shows that seventy seven percent admit that
they have taken their parents to a job interview with them.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
What do you think in the ever evolving world of
the snowflake, more snowflakes will multiply.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
So yes, this will.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
Become the standard going forward, more and more and more
until people start to raise full adults again.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Raise full adults again. Okay, here we get another one.
I think this is Shane listening in Kentucky on the
iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
There is absolutely no.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Way that is true.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
That's over seventy percent of parents go to the job
interviews with their children.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I just can't believe that.
Speaker 10 (10:58):
That is nuts.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm telling you. It's a survey done in July twenty
twenty five from resume template, seventy seven percent of gen
Z respondents admitted to bringing a parent with them to
a job interview, and over half say their parents have
called the hiring manager. We'd love to hear what you
have to say. Weigh in on the iHeartRadio app. Just
hit the talkback button and let us know how you feel.
(11:22):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Army has
honored the Fort Stewart soldiers who took down the sergeant
accused of shooting five people on base. Army Secretary Dan
Driscoll awarded six soldiers the Meritorious Service Medal for their
actions during the shooting on Wednesday. Five soldiers were wounded
in the shooting. All are expected to recover. The Air
(11:44):
Force has denied early retirement for some transgender service members.
They'll be offered a lump sum separation payment instead. Master
Sergeant Logan Ireland served fifteen years in the Air Force
and had decided to take a common option to retire early,
but he says that this week he was told he's
not going to get that benefit.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
I was promised this, I had my retirement orders in hand.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The military says transgender service members with fifteen to eighteen
years of service will not be granted early retirement. The
Air Force has reportedly approved early retirement for transgender soldiers
with over eighteen years of service. Two groups have threatened
to sue the Coast Guard and the National Marine Fishery
Service for failing to protect marine life along the California coast.
(12:26):
The groups say current shipping lanes are causing deadly collisions
between ships and sea turtles and whales. Twenty four whales
have died in the Bay Area this year, many from
ship strikes. The agencies have sixty days to respond before
the lawsuit moves forward. Experts say AI could match human
intelligence within a year, leading to the end of mankind.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
Jeffrey Hinton won a Nobel Prize last year for his
work on AI. He and others, including the chief executives
of Open Ai, Anthropic and Google Deep Mind, say AI
could reach artificial general intelligence within a year and soon
have to reach artificial superintelligence or ASI, at which point
it would regard humanity as a competitor. Experts including Elon Musk,
say there's a twenty percent chance of extinction from AI,
(13:09):
while others put it at ninety five percent. Many are
pushing for a pause on AI, but politicians are going
the other direction, with the Trump administration announcing a plan
last month to deregulate AI research. Michael Krozier k if
I News.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Okidoki, all right, what do you think? Do you think
it's okay to take your mom and dad with you
to a job interview because a new study says seventy
seven percent of gen zers have actually done it.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
I'm forty years old. If I go to a job
interview and I see someone in there that's a millennial
with a parent or a guard again with I know
I have a good chance at the job as.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
All right, And then how about let's hear from a
gen Z.
Speaker 12 (14:00):
You have to be kidding me.
Speaker 10 (14:01):
I'm gen X, oh gen X mart mother and father
told me to go myself, apply and sell myself.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
What kind of candy a people do we have? These
are not even grown folks.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Good, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It's just crazy to me. But you know what, and
maybe that's maybe that's the way of the world, is
the one person on talk perk talk Pack said, But
we'd love to hear how you feel about this. And
in this study that I told you about, resume templates
did the study they surveyed eight hundred and thirty one
gen Z adults who are employed full time. One in
(14:38):
six hiring managers also reported that applicants used their phones
during the interview. During the interview, well atrophone, Wy'd you
get a text or something? Excuse me for just a second,
but would love to hear what you have to say
on the iHeartRadio app. Just to hit that TALKBAC button
(14:59):
and let us know how you. La Mayor Bass's water
trucks have been deployed to port a ranch in Granada Hills,
where ninety two hundred residents are without water because of
a broken water valve in a pipe that's buried more
than twenty feet underground. Repairs are taking longer than anticipated.
They're expected to continue through the weekend. Affected residents picking
up cases of water from three distribution centers set up
(15:21):
in the area. Despite highly publicized immigration raids, arrests of
illegal immigrants have dropped nearly in half in the LA
area between June and July. New figures released by Homeland
Security show in the first month of the ice raids
that started in early June, just under twenty eight hundred
arrests were made, but last month that number dropped to
under fourteen hundred. A six year old boy is recovering
(15:42):
after being attacked by a coyote at his sister's softball
game in Carson. It happened Monday at the softball field
at Delamo Park. The boy's mom says she ran over
when she heard her son screaming. The coyote bit the
boy on the back of his head and both of
his legs before mom scared it off. He's got twenty
stitches and got to get several raby shots. Better safe
(16:04):
than sorry on that one. Let's say good morning now
to the host of home on KFI. The house whispered
Dean Sharp. So Dean, you have a house, you love it,
and you have to move. You know you could just
take it with you.
Speaker 13 (16:16):
Well, in theory, yes you could, in theory. There's some
really interesting things happening in La right now. One of
them that caught my eye earlier this week that I
just wanted to share with you was that as a
result of a very creative solution to losing a home
in the Eton fire in Altadena, and you know, Altadena,
(16:38):
Unlike Pacific Palisades, Alta Dina is filled with century homes,
homes that were built in the nineteen twenties, and not
only did people struggle with losing their home to the fire,
but also the idea of like, well, I don't some
residents just didn't want to rebuild a brand new home.
They wanted their one hundred year old home.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
With all of that old world craftsmanship and such.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
Well, there's an architectural firm that had a really creative idea.
The name of the firm is Omgivning omgivening. I think
I got that right. It's a Danish word. It means ambiance. Anyway,
they're a really cool architectural firm, and they said, you
know what, we started looking at Los Angeles demolition permits,
(17:25):
in other words, homes that were scheduled to be demolished
in Los Angeles. And you would think, well, nobody wants
that kind of a home. That's not true. Some homes
get scheduled to be demolished because they've been condemned and
they're not worth living in anymore. But a lot of
homes out there, especially older ones, are subject to property
takeovers and various other things, and they're perfectly good homes
(17:49):
that are just scheduled to be torn down because the
owners are making deals to do other things. And here
this architectural firm has found at least two of these
homes that are one hundred year old homes. This one
that I was looking at in the article here was
a craftsman is a craftsman home. And they made a deal,
(18:11):
They facilitated a deal between the owner of that property
to sell that home for a dollar. And yeah, sell
the home for the materials on the lot for a dollar.
And the new buyers are folks who lost their home
in the Eaten fire, and they are paying to have
this home moved. And this actually happened earlier this week
(18:32):
phase one of this. The home was jacked up, put
on soldier piles, and moved twenty four miles across LA
to its new home, which is a lot that had
suffered the loss of its century home in Altadena. And
I just think that's the coolest, coolest creative solution one
(18:54):
of them to having lost a century home.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh yeah, so logistically, you have to take the home apart, right,
You can't just put the whole house up, or can.
Speaker 13 (19:04):
You, Yeah, you have to take it apart. They have
to take it apart in segments. They take it apart
in segments used to be. If you're out in a
rural area, you could, in theory, transport the entire thing
in one move, but la streets are not that wide,
they're not big enough to handle that, and so you've
got to take the second story gets dismantled, located down
(19:28):
in the first story, and then the first story gets
segmented into two or three parts. And even that is
a logistical nightmare. This home they had to acquire I
believe twenty one different street use permits to get it
the twenty four miles from where it lived to Alta Dina.
But the point is it can be done, and it
(19:50):
can be done for less expense than building a brand
new home.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
It'll be interesting to see if it kind of catches on,
you know, like if several people do this.
Speaker 13 (20:02):
Yeah, I think there's already one other scheduled, and this
architectural firm is actually contacting house by house, lot by lot,
the residents of Alta Dina who've lost homes and finding
out if they're even interested in the idea. I would
imagine there would be a few more takers, but I
don't think it's going to be like a whole thing.
(20:24):
But the idea, though, is one that I love, which
is you've got a home over in Los phelis a
beautiful craftsman home scheduled to be demolished. Why tear it down?
Why lose all that history? Why lose all that craftsmanship
when it can simply be moved and used by somebody
else who really really needs it on the other side
of town.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I love that. I love that idea. Yeah, it's cool.
What's old is new and what's new on Home with
Dean Sharp this weekend? What are you gonna be talking about?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You know what?
Speaker 13 (20:54):
I'm not sure what we're going to be talking about,
because every few weeks we set aside the entire weekend
to take nothing but calls, and that's what we're doing
this weekend. As is with our call shows, our listeners
set the agenda so they can call and talk to
me about anything they want, design, construction, diy architecture, problems
(21:15):
with your house, how to fix the leaky toilet, or
what new style they should implement in their living room
and everything in between.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And you can call Dean and hear what he has
to say about your home six to eight tomorrow morning,
nine to noon on Sunday, the show is called Home
with Dean Sharp. Very creative name.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
It's a little on point, I know, but you know what,
it gets the job done, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You can also follow Dean at Home with Dean. I
love the idea of the houses, you know, just preserving
the old.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Good stuff? Dean Sharp, thanks so much for your time
this morning. Appreciate it.
Speaker 13 (21:55):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Isn't that cool? Move a whole house? Triple digitat is
baking southern California.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
But there is a little relief insight.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Yeah, So it looks like this week it might be
a slight improvement in temperatures and then maybe a secondary
peak into early next week.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Doctor Robbie Monroe with the National Weather Service says temps
will hit one hundred and eighteen in the deserts and
could break records in places like Lancaster. A brief cool
down is expected, but another heat wave looms next week.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
We will be dealing with heat off and on through
early next week at least.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
The extreme heat is fueling wildfire danger as well, including
the massive Gifford fire.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Heatherbroker Cafe Ie News, It's so hot?
Speaker 14 (22:35):
How hot is it?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Thank you? Will the asphalt temperature at Palm Springs International
Airport was one hundred and sixty three degrees yesterday. Airports
are taking extra precautions because of the weather. Extreme heat
can impact aircraft operations, and airlines can only send planes
that can handle the heat. A candidate for governor of
California says he will sue Governor Nusom over plans to
(22:57):
redraw Republican congressional seats.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
This illegal and unconstitutional scheme to steal Republican House seats.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Former Fox News host Steve Hilton, who's a Republican, says
Newsom is playing partisan games. Newsom says his plan is
in direct response to Texas Republicans looking to eliminate Democrat
held congressional seats. A judge has approved a nearly two
and a half million dollars settlement of a lawsuit against
the Archdiocese of Los Angeles by current and former cemetery workers.
(23:28):
They alleged that they weren't fully paid for all the
hours they worked. The ruling effects over eight hundred employees.
Most Americans get more than half of their calories from
foods that aren't so fresh.
Speaker 15 (23:39):
The CDC says, overall, about fifty five percent of calories
consumed by Americans older than the age of one came
from ultra processed foods. During August of twenty twenty one
to August of twenty twenty three. The top sources include
burgers and sandwiches, sweet baked goods, savory snacks, pizza, and
sweetened drinks. Ultra Processed foods have the linked to chronic
(24:00):
health problems. Deborah Mark, Kay, I'll find news.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, but they're so tasty.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's a pizza.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Come on, Deborah. Hey, we're asking you on the talk
back to weigh in about whether you think it's okay
or just plain crazy. The seventy seven percent of gen
z ER's survey and said, yeah, I took my parent
with me to a job interview, and half had their parents,
or maybe they didn't ask their parents to do it,
(24:29):
but their parents called the hiring manager on their behalf.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
What do you think, Hey, this is ramon another gen X, sir.
I don't think they qualify for any kind of job
of any mommy and daddy to troll along with them.
I hit twenty five applications in two days to get
a second job on my own. They can't do it
(24:54):
with one for one without a parent holding their hand.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Come on you, Gomon, Yeah, Yeah, I'd love to hear
what you have to say. Hit us up on the
talk back button on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Immigration rights groups are calling for
businesses in southern California to come to a halt.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
The group say a community stoppage is what's necessary in
the wake of a federal immigration operation near a Home
Depot store in Westlake. Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights LA
Executive director on Helica Salaw says, immigrants, regardless of legal status,
can show they have power.
Speaker 9 (25:28):
We're asking you to stand strong in order for us
to demonstrate.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
That we matter the groups of targeted large corporations like
Home Depot as well as fast food restaurants for benefiting
from immigrant labor and money but not speaking up on
their behalf. The community stoppage is set for Tuesday. Michael
Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
LA County supervisors have issued a local emergency proclamation because
of the fire that started near Lake Piru and is
threatening homes in the Santa Clarita area. The fire started
yesterday afternoon as temperatures topped one hundred degrees in some areas.
It spread quickly as it burned toward La County. It
has now burned nearly five thousand acres were expecting new
(26:08):
numbers any time. Evacuation orders and warnings have been issued
for parts of La and Ventura Counties. About two thousand
people under evacuation orders in another fourteen thousand under warnings.
New research has linked climate change to an earlier start
to the state's wildfire season.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
A study from Science Advances looked at data collected from
nineteen ninety two to twenty twenty, showing that eleven of
the state's thirteen ecoregions are now seeing fire seasons begin
significantly earlier compared to the nineteen nineties. In some areas,
fires are starting one week to more than two months
earlier than in the nineties. Scientists cite rising temperatures, early snowmelt,
less winter rain, and drier soil as the main causes.
(26:45):

California plans to prepare students for careers in AI. Governor
Newsom says the state is partnered with Google, Adobe, IBM,
and Microsoft, and it's not going to cause costs the
state anything.
Speaker 16 (27:00):
Simply no other jurisdiction, no other region, no other state
in the world that can lay claim to the kind
of entrepreneurial, innovative spirit, kind of investments that are being
made here the human capital.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The agreement will help high school, community college, and California
State University students learn essential AI skills. Schools will update
their programs to incorporate the newest AI technologies, offer internship opportunities,
and enhance access to advanced learning tools for all California students.
About fifteen to twenty k nine wave riders will be
(27:32):
hang in ten to find out who is top dog
at the World Dog Surfing Championships near San Francisco. It's
being held at Pacific State Beach tomorrow. It's expected to
draw thousands of spectators. There are single rider heats, dogs
surfing tandem with other dogs, and also dogs riding tandem
with their humans. Judges score participating pooches on how long
(27:54):
they remain on the boards, how long they can hold
their balance, and whether they perform any tricks like turning
around well ride in the waves. Winners of the event
tomorrow we'll receive medals and wagging rights is not hang
twenty if you're not hang ten, because there's well, you know,
if they had all twenty up on the front of
the board, it might be a little precarious. Good point, Okay,
(28:18):
time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho Morning, Courtney.
Speaker 12 (28:22):
Good morning, Happy Friday, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Okay. So Friday might be a good time to go
out to eat, but there are fewer diners going to
one establishment.
Speaker 12 (28:32):
Yeah, because more folks are watching their wallets, are saying
no too expensive salads. A Sweet Green chopped its revenue
forecast for the year, but to try to get folks
in the door, the chain is focused on improving how
customers perceive the value of its meal, so that fifteen
dollars salad they want to say, all right, this is
worth it. So they're increasing their chicken and tofu portions
(28:54):
by twenty five percent, and they also upgraded some recipes
to improve the taste and quality.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
You know what, I do love a good Sweet Green salad.
And yeah there's another place. Sweet Tomatoes is another one.
They're delicious, okay, But.
Speaker 12 (29:06):
One thing is about Sweet Green is that if you
really like it, they're discontinuing the ripple fries. If you
tried it, it's been in there only five months. They
were air fried, made with avocado oil, healthier oil. Customers
like the fries, but they added that it had too
much complexity in the kitchen to get them out the door.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Oh okay, all right, so keep it simple. Stick with salads. Yes,
let's stick with food and talk about Wendy's, which I
just had this week because of the special Wednesday meal.
But what's going on with Wendy's.
Speaker 12 (29:36):
And they're saying that customers are pressured by the economy,
so they're trying to do some of those specials to
entice people in the door.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So they have deals for app users.
Speaker 12 (29:46):
They brought out new versions of the frosty and also
that meal tie in with those Spicy talkies I Love
Talkies that.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Launched in late June.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
So they're also trying to expand their hours. They're making
a push for breakfast and late night business too.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, you know what. I know, we were just doing
a story about processed food and all that, but man,
I love a good fast food late at night. Oh
I do too, exactly. So there's fries. Yeah, there's a
lot of drama around Gold today.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
Why, Yeah, surprise, tariffs taking the shine off of gold.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Today. Border Patrol clarified that.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
Gold bars face tariffs and they're not exempted, but the
industry thought that they were initially. But the move could
upend all the trade flows that we're seeing from Switzerland.
Other key trading hubs and traders are now scrambling to
understand the situation, and we're seeing gold futures popping higher
this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Gold is stupid expensive right now thirty thirty four hundred
and seventy two dollars ninety cents per ounce.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yeah, and now thirty five because of this move today.
And remember that the US imports large volumes of gold
from Switzerland. That's the world's biggest gold refining hubs. So
this is a big problem. They're looking right to Switzerland
and saying, oof, this is going to be price. Your
traders are looking there, so okay. Irish whisky boom is
facing a hangover well. A number of distilleries in Ireland
(31:09):
have closed or cut their production in recent months. Tariffs
are a further hit to an industry that has faced
a number of headwinds. Demand for Irish whiskey and the
US started to drive about two years ago after the
boom from the pandemic. At the same time, the cost
of making whiskey has increased. For example, electricity prices have
essentially doubled in Ireland over the last four years.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Wow, Okay, so that's interesting. So they're like just shutting
down altogether, as opposed to kind of scaling back to
where they were.
Speaker 12 (31:36):
Yeah, some are scaling back. Some are shutting down because
they just can't do it anymore. I mean, the cost
of models are even more expensive.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
It's been rough now.
Speaker 12 (31:44):
The US and the European Union, of which Ireland is
a member, they continue to negotiate exemptions on tariffs for
wines and spirits, but there's no guarantee that'll happen, and
that's making a lot of Irish whiskey providers a little
bit worried.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
All right, getting in your business like we do every
day with Bloomberg, Courtney, Donahoe, Courtney, have a wonderful weekend.
We'll talk to you Monday morning. Enjoy see you later,
all right, see you, and when we come back, prepare
to be freaked out. Will gans is going to join
us to tell us about that. And on the stream
a season finale coming this weekend. These seasons go by
so quickly. Now. Also, if you have a second, hit
(32:19):
us up on the talk back and let us know
what you think about this survey gen Z. They surveyed
like more than eight hundred of them, seventy seven percent said, yeah,
I took my parents with me to a job interview.
I'd like to actually hear from someone in gen Z.
You know, see what they have to say. I mean,
equal time on all that.
Speaker 12 (32:40):
Right, you call it from Kenny Lake, you won't get
a gen Z.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
You're calling in and it's way too early for them.
Speaker 15 (32:46):
They're still touched in bed at home with their money.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh no, no, I don't want it to be a
bashing thing. I just maybe it's just a new mentality.
It's just a different way of thinking. Like when I
was I would never think of my parents being anywhere
in the vicinity exactly.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I'd be mortified if my parents even thought they should
get involved.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
No, no, no, Yeah, it's a it's a whole new world. Hey,
did you know that today is pickleball Day? I just
heard that pickleball day. I've never played, have you know
I haven't played because everybody I know is getting injured.
My best friend's sister shattered her her wrist. She fell
(33:30):
playing pickleball, literally shattered her wrist. It's been like two months.
She still doesn't even have mobility back in her wrist.
I mean, it's really bad, and I keep hearing about
everybody getting hurt. So I'm like, eh, I better just
stay away.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Parents are not staying away from job interviews with their children.
A new survey says seventy seven percent of gen Z
kids have taken their parents with them to a job interview.
We'd love to hear what you have to say. You
can hit us up on the talk back. It's up
in the right hand corner on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 14 (34:03):
Cherry from Kenya Lake, Hey, you think about it, It's
not a bad gig for the employer if the parents
come along on the interview, because for them, if they're
coming along in the interview, they're part of the application
process and therefore, when the young person gets hired, then
the employer knows that the parent will be there to
(34:26):
fill in when that child gets sick.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Well that's one way to think about it.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Erry. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four
hour news from a lot of people may not be working.
This coming Tuesday, immigrant rights advocates and labor organizations plan
to hold what they're calling a twenty four hour community
stoppage in protest of the ice rates in southern California.
The boycott's calling for people to avoid working or shopping
at businesses like Home Depot, Target, Walmart, McDonald's, and Penske.
(34:55):
Researchers say climate change is bumped up the fire season
in California. Data from Science Advances shows that in most
areas of the state, fire season is starting anywhere from
a week to two months earlier now than it did
in nineteen ninety two. The study says it's because of
rising temperatures, early snow, melt, less winter rain, and drier
soil conditions. Trump administration is trying to terminate a twenty
(35:18):
eight year old consent decree that governs how immigrant children
are detained in federal custody. A hearing is going to
be held in downtown LA to determine whether to maintain
or strike down safeguards that require kids be held in
license facilities and then release to family members or guardians
as soon as possible. Let's say Good morning, now to
(35:38):
ABC's multi platform reporter Will Gans Morning, Will.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Hey, good morning, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Happy Friday. So I don't know about what it's like
in New York, but it is scorching hot here in
LA So it might be a perfect weekend to head
into a nice, air conditioned movie theater.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yes, and you can still get your heart rate out
in an air conditioned movie theater if you're into horror movies.
Some are saying that this is the best of the year.
Weapons is on the big screen this weekend. It has
like ninety six percent on Rotten Tomatoes right now, and
I went and saw yesterday and my heart rate certainly
did jump up. So this is the one. It's Julia
(36:19):
Garner and she plays kindergarten teacher and one night, seventeen
students in her classroom all get up in the middle
of the night from their respective homes and just vanish
into the night. They walk out the front door and
they don't come back. So that's how the movie starts,
and the rest of it is told from six different perspectives.
(36:41):
One of the parents a cop in the town. Julia
Garner is one of them. So six different characters, each
trying to piece together what happened, what led to that,
and how they might be able to get these kids
back home safely. So it is very freaky. Parts of
it are very gory and growth, but it is if
(37:03):
you like herror, it's a very very good one. And
the other crazy thing about this movie too, it's like
parts of it are also very funny. So sometimes you'll
find yourself and the people around you laughing in your
seats at the movie theater and you sort of lull
yourself into a false sense of security and then all
of a sudden, bam, you're jumping out of your chair again.
So it's fun in.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
That way for sure.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
All right, So it's called Weapons that hits the screens
this weekend. And then here's something that just might freak
you out. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lowan back together again.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Yes, this is the fun kind of freak out for sure,
And this is one that I would say almost the
entire family can handle. So this is a follow up
to the movie from the early two thousands.
Speaker 13 (37:45):
Here we are.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Over two decades later, and Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay
Lohan are teaming up together again. This time Lindsay Lohan
is apparent as well, and instead of two people switching bodies,
we have four people switching bodies and it's a lot
of fun and you know, it does all the things
that you would want this Disney movie to do.
Speaker 12 (38:06):
Well.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
You know, it's it's funny, it moves along quickly, but
it also has a lot of heart in it, and
you know, it's you're reminded of the pretty simple lesson
like if you can't understand somebody, you just have to
walk a mile in their shoes and then, you know,
for families like that, it's a lovely lesson to share
with with your kiddos if you are headed to the
movie theater this weekend. Plus there's those fun like callbacks
(38:29):
to you know, the original movie from the early two thousands,
which I guess technically isn't the original movie. These are
all based on a book that was written in the seventies.
But you know what I mean, it's a lot of
fun for millennials.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think, Yeah, I think it'll be interesting to see too.
How that does the box office, Like is there still
a draw for this? I mean I know that they've
been out, you know, promoting and that kind of stuff,
but it'll be interesting. Well we'll wait, we'll find out
on Monday, I guess exactly. And then if you're going
to be camped out on the couch on the stream,
well you have to wait till on Sunday. But the
(39:00):
Fielded Age is almost done this season.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Yeah, so this is the third season of that show,
and this is the best season of the Gilded Age.
So maybe you tried it in season one and you're like,
it's a little slow for me or something like that.
The show has really found its footing and its rhythm
in season three. I'm obsessed with it. I think it's
the best thing on television right now in the middle
of the summer. And you know, the last episode there
(39:26):
was a little bit of a cliffhanger slifhanger. Yes, yes,
a lot of people will be tuning in on Sunday.
And the other interesting thing about this show is that
for the last several weeks, it's broken its own viewership records,
so more and more people are tuning in every single
week to watch, which I think shows that you know,
it is picking up momentum and steam. And then it
(39:46):
was just renewed for season four, so it's if you're
not on the Gilded Age train yet, I would recommend joining.
It's you know, it's got such a great cast, Carrie Cohon,
who everyone fell in love with in The White Lotus
this season, it's amazing in it. And yeah, the season
three finale will air Sunday night on HBO.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, I know that I will be watching it. I'm
also a big fan, a big fan of Will Gan's.
Thanks so much, Will. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
All right, am, we have a great weekend.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Before we wrap things up for the day and for
the week again, we've been asking you to weigh in
on this information that we got about gen Z. Over
eight hundred of them were asked, and seventy seven percent said, yeah,
I take my parents to a job interview, and more
than fifty percent of parents called the hiring manager about
(40:38):
their kid. Is this okay?
Speaker 4 (40:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Is what is going on?
Speaker 17 (40:47):
Good morning, Amy. I think this all started in the
eighties when my kids were playing soccer for eg Ya
Soul period. Everyone used to get a trophy. These people
would just hover around their kids. They were only five,
they already thought they were soccer superstars.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah, that's very interesting. So are you bringing your kid
up to be self sufficient, do things on his own.
Speaker 18 (41:12):
Good morning, Amy, This is herman from Catalena, Island. I
told my twenty one year old steps on when you
go interview, you dress nice. You have some nice shoes on,
nice pants, nice shirt. You look the part, act the part,
be the part, and have confidence.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I like that be the part. So thanks for waging
and appreciate it. That's fun. I I'm just still astounded
by those numbers. Thanks so much for starting your day
with wake up Call. We got handle on the news
coming up next. This is KFI and KOST HD two
