Hey, it's Jennifer Jones Lee.You're listening to KFI, a M six
forty wake up call on demand onthe iHeartRadio app. You are in the
home stretch. Here's Jennifer Jones Leewith your Friday morning wake up call.
(00:21):
Happy for Friday. Oh, wehave a beautiful Memorial Day weekend coming up.
It's gonna be a little cloudy inthe morning, sunny in the afternoon.
I was just in the sixties too, about the low eighties. Sonya,
It's a good weekend for a barbecue. But just like mister announcer Guy
(00:45):
says normally, I want to makefun of him, this morning he was
spot on. Just don't forget whywe get it. You know, as
a former Army wife, do Iget to continue to be an Army wife.
But that I learned from being marriedto somebody in the military for so
long is that when you hear somethinglike the national anthem or you see the
(01:12):
flag or something like that, whenyou're in it, you start to think
about it a whole lot more andyou start to understand what the men and
women who fight for us and aremembers of our military do for us,
and it gives it a whole newperspective. And so yeah, I know
(01:32):
a lot of people say Happy MemorialDay. And the reason I don't get
offended by that when they say thatis because I'm okay with celebrating those who
fought for our country. Does thatmake sense? And I know that a
lot of people will say, oh, you don't say Happy Memorial Day,
which is true. But if somebodydoes, just think of it as,
(01:55):
you know what, we're doing acelebration of the lives that they put on
the line for us. Hey,trying to put a positive spin on life
these days, you know. Sothat's the way I'm looking at it.
Anyway, on this Memorial Day weekend. Oh what is that music, Tyler?
It's a little patriotic, you know, undertones, little something, well
(02:15):
something. Come on. Don't youlike the way that I'm trying to spin
this because people get so offended whensomebody says Happy Memorial Day. Oh I
love it. It is your wakeup call? Can we do patriotic music
all morning long? Sure? Okay? I need proud to be an American.
(02:38):
Need a little Lee Greenwood coming up. Investigators are looking for a motive
in the stabbing of a metro driverin Woodland Hills, allegedly by a seventeen
year old boy. President Biden sayshe's sure an agreement will be reached to
raise the debt ceiling, and theLa County Coroner's office says DJ and dancer
Stephen Boss known as Twitch, diedby sue Aside without other causes. We're
(03:00):
also going to get the Entertainment Reportearly this morning from ABC's Jason Nathan saying,
we've got the Little Mermaid, We'vegot you hurt my feelings. We
have American born Chinese. So whateveryou're watching at the box office, whatever
you're streaming, Jason's got a littlebit of everything for you. So let's
(03:21):
start with some of these stories comingout of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Investigators are looking for a motive inthe stabbing of a Metro driver in
Woodland Hills, allegedly by a seventeenyear old boy. The team and the
bus driver got into some sort ofargument on the bus, which ended up
on the sidewalk where police say theteens stabbed the driver. Metro board member
are A Najarian says despite the attackWednesday, the Metro system is safe for
(03:44):
the majority of riders. We carryhundreds of thousands of transit riders every day
and hundreds of millions of riders everyyear without incident. He says it's unrealistic
to put officers on every bus,but not a mix of resources, including
law enforcement members will the Turk crimein Woodland Hills Blake Trolley kafinews. The
US Marshall's Office says thirteen kids fromsouthern California have been rescued during a countrywide
(04:09):
effort. Operation we Will Find Youwas created to find missing, abducted,
or runaway children. The thirteen kidswere found in San Bernardino Riverside in La
Counties. Most of homer runaways andhad already fallen into the sex trade.
Thirteen local law enforcement agencies also helped. Overall, from March first to May
fifteenth, one hundred sixty nine kidswere rescued, forty two of whom were
found outside the city where they disappeared, and ten were found in Mexico.
(04:30):
The youngest rescued was six months oldin downtown La Steve Gregory kafinews. A
new canine memorial has been unveiled infront of LAPD headquarters honoring police dogs killed
in the line of duty. CaptainBrian Bixlers says canines are the backbone of
policing. Without question. The canineteams that are available every day, day
(04:51):
or night, rain or shine,have saved the lives of officers, lives
of the public, and lives ofsuspects. Bixler said yesterday. Four dogs
have died since the program started innineteen eighty. The memorial shows a bronze
sculpture of a kenine resting on topof a large marble base. There will
be no default. President Biden sayshe is sure an agreement will be reached
(05:15):
to raise the debt ceiling made cleartime and again to falling on our national
debt is not an option. Bidensays talks between his administration and Speaker McCarthy's
team have made progress, but Republicannegotiator, Congressman Patrick McHenry says there are
still fundamental disagreements that are yet tobe resolved. Biden says he will not
agree to spending cuts Republicans want.The Treasury Department has said an agreement is
(05:40):
needed by June first so the UScan continue to pay its bills. ABC's
Jason Nathanson, I like this Thisis the way to start a Friday with
you in the Entertainment Report. Hey, good morning, good morning. So
did we need another Little Mermaid?And is this one any good? Well?
I think we should stop asking thequestion do we need another X from
(06:00):
especially from Disney, because they're gonnagive it to us, right, every
every animated classic they've done, they'regonna give us a remix. So just
you know, to accept that that'syeah, except that that's factum And so
when it comes to you know,because I think we had this conversation when
it came to the Peter Pan acouple of years, a couple of weeks
ago, same thing people were asking. Now, Peter Pan is a little
different. That's been done a billiontimes. A Little Mermaid we haven't seen,
(06:26):
you know, we saw the nineteeneighty United Classic and that's that's kind
of pretty much it. So thisis kind of right for something new.
And this is a live action version, so you have real people um doing.
You know, there's I think thelike Sebastian the Crab and things like
that are cgi and animated, butum Arialls is a real person played by
(06:47):
Halle Bailey. Ursula is played byMelissa McCarthy and you know, she's she's
really doing the stuff there. It'snot just voice acting. Um. And
when it comes to I guess dowe really need Yeah? You know,
I think each generation it's okay forthem to have their own version of something,
especially if it's going to be alittle bit different. This one is
(07:10):
a little bit different when it comesto the story. They've changed a few
things here and there, not notmajor changes, but they've they've made a
few changes, and this is oneof the better I think Disney remakes that
we've seen so far over the pastI don't know, ten to fifteen years
that they've really been doing this.Beauty and the Beast was probably the most
popular, I think in terms ofmoney. The Lion King also that that
(07:35):
actually might have been the most popular. But Lion King wasn't live action,
right, that was new cgi Thisis live action. So I liked it,
you know, I didn't love it. And I think that's the thing
here. People love the Little Mermaid, right, and so I think you
want, you want anything that you'regonna make, it's just hard to live
(07:56):
up to that when you have sucha beloved film. I think anything you're
gonna do is gonna fall short fromthe from the original. There's just I
mean, I haven't seen anything yet, uh, you know, side like
the Lion King. A lot ofpeople praised the animation and the new way
that they did that kind of stuff. People really liked that, But was
(08:18):
the story necessarily different or better orwith the songs or anything. Here you
have almost I think almost all thesame songs and then a couple others from
Lin Manuel Miranda did a couple ofthem, I know, with Alan Mankin
who wrote the original music. Sothe two of them combined together. Halle
Bailey is fantastic. I think herperformance is great. She can really sing
(08:39):
um so it's good. It's solid, which I think people want. Amazing.
I don't think it's gonna get there, but it's it's not bad like
last year's Pinocchio or yes, buthave not been good all right? Well,
I mean, I don't know.I think you're right putting the spin
(09:00):
on it that kind of each generationcan have its own version. Then okay,
I'm fine with that. But I'ma traditionalist. I like the originals
leave it alone kind of thing.But I get it. I see that
what they're doing and with that castOkay, fine. I mean it's probably
just gonna be fun with those playersalone, So all good there, go
see it. It sounds like it'sa good one. What about the Machine,
(09:22):
I was seeing something about like finallybringing back raunchy comedy again in the
headlines. Yeah, and we've seenraunchy comedies before. I don't know.
Bert Kreisher has been talking a lotabout that, and I don't know if
you know who he is. He'sa comedian. Is a really popular podcast
with Tom Sigura called Two Bears,One Cave, and a couple other podcasts
(09:43):
as well. But he's a superpopular comedian who has over the past few
years gained a lot more popularity.I think he's somewhere around fifty right now
and has really hit his stride interms of his career and has able to
was to get this movie made,which is based on a popular story I
think he first told on the JoeRogan podcast, which is it's based on
(10:07):
a true story. When he wasin college. I think he was around
twenty two or something. He wenton a foreign exchange program to Russia and
ended up robbing a train with theRussian mafia. That was true. That
actually agree yes that that actually happened, and so and it's it's it's a
story. It's a story that's madehim famous. Um and it's called the
(10:28):
Machine. If you look at alot of people know it. If you
look it up, you can youcan watch him tell that story. And
so this is a kind of reimaginedmovie version where he has to go back
to Russia to kind of right thewrongs that he set in motion so many
years ago, and he goes alongwith his father played by Mark Hamill Um.
And one of the most fun thingsabout this movie is getting to watch
(10:50):
Mark Hamill, you know, saythings Mark Hamill doesn't normally get to say,
um and put things up his nosethat you normally don't get to see
Mark Camill put up this. Iwould get a see it for that,
So there is some fun to that. Now. Bert Kreischer, I got
a chance to talk to him.One of the nicest guys I think in
the industry, and he's a guyyou want to see succeed. That said
(11:15):
the movie, I don't think it'squite there. And he's trying really hard,
and you can tell he's trying reallyhard. He left it all on
the screen. But it gets alittle too for I think for my taste,
it got a little too much actionand a little less comedy. I
really wanted the comedy. I wantedto laugh, and they thought they were
(11:37):
making an action movie, which isfine, but it just it didn't exactly
work for me in the way.And he's he's so nice, and he's
so kind of delusional when it comesto Hollywood, like he doesn't really know.
I was listening to his podcast earlierthis week and he was talking to
Kevin Smith and he was talking abouthow much he thinks it's gonna make Opening
Weekend, and Bert Kreischer was like, I don't know, like one hundred
(11:58):
and fifty two million. Oh,And Kevin Smith just laughed at him.
He's like, so it's going tobe better than Topkin Maverick and and he's
like, yeah, sure, likeit could be. You know. Oh
I love that, you know,I kind of like that naivete that's nice
in Hollywood every now it is.It is really nice, and he's a
(12:18):
really nice guy. And again wewant to see him succeed. I think,
um, this might not be it, but if it introduces more people
to him and to his other stuff, which is great. His comedy specials
on Netflix are really funny. Umagain, I like the podcast, so
you know, there's there's stuff tolike about Burt Kreischer. This movie might
not be the best, all right, Jason, have a wonderful weekend.
(12:39):
Enjoyer. Hopefully you get Monday off. I'm assuming I will get most of
Monday off. One other thing Iwanted to recommend real quick. You were
talking about the dog ceremony, thelapd dogs. Yeah. Yeah. One
of the best things I've watched thisweek is Steve Gregory's video of the dog
trying to take the thing off thisall right, right, which is awesome.
(13:03):
That was fantastic that a dog,a police dog, try to unveil
the statue. It doesn't go asplanned and it's very very funny. All
right, Jason, have an awesomeone. I'll talk to you next by
ABC is Jason Nathanson. I wantJason's job. You get to watch movies,
TV shows, talk to stars.It's a good life for Jason Nathanson.
(13:26):
Some business owners day in Hollywood areasking the city to do something about
a homeless camp that's come back.It's a camp near Sunset and Martell Avenue.
Was cleared out a year ago,but people who work in the area
say it's back and bigger than ever, and South Carolina's abortion band law is
already being challenged in court. RepublicanGovernor Henry McMaster signed the Fetal Heartbeat and
(13:48):
Protection from Abortion Act on Thursday,and then almost immediately playing parenthood a South
Atlantic, that division of it fileda lawsuit. You know, they probably
had that one ready to go.Coming up. At five thirty five,
we're going to talk with the KopisHouse, whispered Dean Sharpe. His notes
say that we're talking about hallways andfour years, but then there's also kind
(14:09):
of a riddle in it. I'lltell you what that riddle might be and
what we're going to have to make. Dean clear up in just a few
minutes. But speaking of clearing thingsup, the President says he is sure
there's going to be a debt ceilingraise, is there? Karen Travers,
good morning to you. Good morning. Yeah. I mean we're now six
days out from this x state thatthe Treasury Secretary of glad out. We're
(14:35):
hearing from sources that they're inching closerto a deal. It has not been
finalized. But what they're getting closertoward would increase the borrowing limit to debt
ceiling for two years. It wouldincrease defense and veteran spending, and also
clawback that un spent COVID funding,which both sides have agreed to at this
point most likely, but Remuslicans arestill pushing for some deeper domestic spending cuts
(14:58):
and the President has really pushed backon that. We've heard that publicly too,
So the clock is ticking. Youkeep hearing that phrase. But you
know, the House sent home rankand file members, negotiators stayed in town
to keep working on this. Theysaid they're going to work on it twenty
four hours a day. We knowthat they were still talking to White House
officials yesterday. But the President yesterdayagain expressed confidence that a deal will be
(15:18):
reached, an agreement will come together, and that they're not even talking about
default. That they've all agreed defaultis not going to happen, it's not
an option, but that they're workingout the budget and spending issues, that
that's what they're actually trying to hammerhome at. But yeah, of course,
because that's the hard stuff, that'swhy it's taking so long. It's
very difficult to come to that.If it were easy, they would have
(15:41):
already reached the agreement months ago.I like the question that you ask White
House spokesperson Crane Jean Pierre yesterday becauseI think that this is what a lot
of us are feeling like is beingmissed, Like, hey, what about
us? What about the impact onAmericans who rely on payments from the government.
I think that's the thing that getslost in this political fight sometime is
(16:06):
how it affects the little guy,which is us. Yeah, and there
really wasn't a great answer yesterday,or at least an answer that I think
people were satisfied with. You know, next week, if the government hits
the borrowing limit, if there isa default, there is that real risk
of payments from the government not beingable to go out. They have to
figure out what they pay and whatthey don't pay when they can't borrow any
(16:29):
more money, and that would beSocial Security payments, military pensions, military
payments, medicare payments. Like,there's big concerns here. So I asked
yesterday, you know, what's themessage to those people who rely on payments
from the government to pay their ownbills? Should they be worried that a
deposit might not hit, and Karentalked about what the president is fighting for,
you know, in terms of spendingcuts that Republicans are pushing for,
(16:53):
that this is what he's standing upagainst. And they said, you know,
we keep hearing a America, keephearing the White House a default is
not an option. But can theyalso hear from the White House a guarantee
that the government will be able todeliver their deposits, their checks next week.
She did not give that guarantee.She said, we're going to do
everything we can to make sure defaultis not an option. All right,
(17:15):
Karen, thank you so much.I appreciate it, have a great day.
Thanks you to see later. ABC'sKaren Traverse. I agree, that's
not the response that I want becauseall of a sudden, Karen asked a
question about the American people, andthe responses blame the Republicans. I get
(17:37):
that this is a partisan fight,straight down the middle. Nobody wants to
compromise. I get that, butagain, doesn't it make you feel like
they forgot about what they're there for, Like, how about not fighting for
your team, about fighting for thepeople you represent? I don't know,
(18:00):
It's disheartening sometimes when you feel likethey care more about winning the political fight
than they do about winning for us. I'm very pie in the sky this
morning. What they woke up onthe pipe dream side of the bed.
Apparently a father in Marietta is warningother parents about a man that he says
(18:25):
tried to kidnap his ten year olddaughter. I would you say the parents,
they's never too early or too lateto talk to your kids about,
you know, the dangers of ourworld right now. But this is scary
because the attempt at kidnapping Sunday wascaught on a neighbors security camera. The
girl was in the driveway of herhome playing volleyball with her dad, so
(18:45):
he goes inside to get some water. While he goes inside, there's a
man who approaches the girl and chasesher up her own driveway. The girl
goes inside screaming, and the manquickly walks away in her own driveway where
her dad just went in to geta drink of water. La County DA
(19:06):
George Gascona has announced the exoneration andrelease of a man who spent thirty three
years in state prison for a crimehe says he did not commit gascon says
Daniel. Seldonna was wrongfully convicted ofattempted murder in nineteen ninety, but Seldonna
says he never lost hope. I'mthankful for the disc attorney Long Beach for
(19:27):
all their help. You know,they are beautiful people. I mean they're
like family. They've been there forme, supportive. Seldonna was convicted of
shooting at a group of high schoolstudents in Baldwin Park, but new evidence
shows Seldonna was not involved in theshooting that was presented during a parole hearing
in twenty seventeen that prompted an investigationin which the DA's office declared Seldonna innocent.
(19:52):
Don't seat yourself. There's a Starbucksin Studio City that has removed the
chairs for customers. The store inthe Studio City Plaza did not specify why
the seating was removed, but aspokesman from Starbucks implied that it was due
to safety concerns. Patron Heather Momoasays she once saw a homeless man lock
himself in the location's bathroom. Hehave locked himself in there to get some
(20:12):
sleep, and it was hard forthem to get him out. And they
ended up having to call the copson that. When asked yesterday when the
seats would return, the spokesman didn'trespond. Six other locations shut down last
year or because of vandalism and othercrimes. Chris Adler KFI News OC supervisors
say they do not want a needleexchange program that previously recovered just twenty thousand
(20:36):
of eighty thousand needles distributed each day. Supervisor Katrina Foley says tens of thousands
of needles end up on playground,sidewalks and even on the beach. I
will do whatever I can to tryto make sure that, given that we
don't have a choice, that itis operated in a way that does not
increase the amount of littering in ourcommunity. Supervisors say the latest state regulated
(21:03):
program promises to recover sixty percent ofthe needles distributed. County health officials suggested
Tuesday the needles be stamped by thestate or nonprofit distributor to identify who is
responsible for the needles discarded in thecommunity. There's a censorship debate that started
in Fullerton over a decision to removeNazi symbols from a sixth grade performance of
(21:25):
the Sound of music. We stilltry to protect our kids based on how
old they are. Fullerton School DistrictSuperintendent Bob Pletka says the Nazi flag and
how Hitler salute were removed from performanceswhich are going on this week. As
an example, the Standish Inquisition andthe torture Chambers and something like Iron Maiden.
We wouldn't have kids act that out. It's not age appropriate for small
(21:45):
children, he says. Plus,with social media, a well meaning post
from a parent can cause embarrassment orpain if co opted by a hateful or
political group. Some parents called thedecision censorship and a watering gown of history.
In Fullerton Corbin Cars News. Inthe meantime, it's Kaofy's house,
whisper Dean Sharp. You can followhim on social media at Home with Dean.
(22:07):
Also listen to him Tomorrow morning fromsix to eight, Sunday from nine
to noon. Dean, good morning. I know that I talked with you
briefly about four years and hallways whenHandle's line glitched earlier this week. But
the thing I want to know todayis, after going over your note notes
more thoroughly, what is dark,claustrophobic and has no Wiener. That is
(22:32):
my riddle to you this morning.Well, and by the way, I
thought you were gonna say that youwoke up with your glass overflowing because it
was house whisperer Friday. I meanit is, That's what I meant.
Okay, So let's start with Clouster. Oh, I like it. Don't
(22:52):
you feel very buddha esque? Ido. I'm very really, I'm too
relaxed now to really that music.It's relaxing. Take us into a dark
hallway, which nobody wants or so, yeah, the the entryway. I'm
just it was a way of gettingyour attention about, you know, the
potential downsides of entryways and potential possibilitiesfor an entryway. Entryways should not be
(23:19):
dark. They should be as lightas possible, not only artificial lighting,
but as much natural light as possible. And the Wiener, what the heck
is the Wiener? I know.I throw that in there because I and
I talked to my clients about itas well, because it gets their attentions
in their mind so that they rememberwhat it is that I'm trying to get
(23:41):
across here. It's actually an oldanecdote from the history of Disneyland and Walt
Disney Walt, you would be thrilledto know, was a dog lover,
huge, huge dog lover. Waltalways had dogs, love dogs. Every
day would come home and go directlyto the refrigerator and grab a hot dog
(24:04):
for himself and one for the dog. Okay, so now, but here's
how it translates into Disneyland. Okay. Walt was always just fascinated with the
fact that he could always get hisdogs to do whatever they wanted them to
do, look wherever he wanted themto look, simply by holding the wiener
(24:29):
in the direction of where they wantedto look. Obviously, right, I
mean, it's a dog treat.And there was a day when the planning
of Disneyland was being discussed yet againwith his imagineers that he said to everybody,
listen, the park needs not onlyone, but multiple Wieners. In
(24:49):
other words, when you enter thepark, you should not only be captivated
with where you're at, but drawntowards some thing in the distance. And
you could imagine, well, I'mgoing to ask you right now, when
you go to Disneyland, what isthe wiener? Oh my gosh, well
when you walk if Okay, soI'm thinking about once you walk through in
(25:11):
the you know, the security checkpointor whatever, both, once you're standing
in main Street. Once you're standingin main Street, what's the weener that
draws you into the rest of thepark? Yeah, Tyler said it the
castle, the castle exactly exactly,that was it. So in other words,
and by the way, this isthe only part of Disneyland that breaks
(25:34):
the rule that we don't want tohave reference to other lands while we're standing
in one land. Okay, Sowhen we're standing in one land, we
don't want to see the other landsbecause we don't want to break the story.
But when you are on main Street, you are standing in eighteen something,
you know, late eighteen hundreds ofAmerican downtown, and you are looking
(25:59):
in the distance at a Gothic Germancastle, okay, and it draws you
into the park. That is theweener. And every great entryway into every
great house, whether it is amansion or a shed, every great entryway,
whenever possible, should have a wiener. In other words, when you
(26:22):
come in the front door and I'mstarting to orient myself to your home,
there, if there can be somethingin the distance, something by way of
view or vista that teases me anddraws wants to know, draws me into
a walking deeper into your home.That's the wiener, and every great entryway
(26:45):
can and should have one. Ilove. Okay, So I kind of
feel like I did my duty thenwithout even knowing that I had a wiener
in my house. So when youwalk in my front door and my house
is you know, it's small,it's not even fourteen square feet, but
there's a like, I don't know, there are these ledges kind of as
you walk into the house. Andon top of that, I have a
(27:08):
like four foot tree that's lit.It's like an olive tree. But then
as you're looking straight through straight tothe other side of my house, like
backside of the house, there's anotherlit tree and I'm like trying to draw
you in with my lights on theI have a weener and didn't know it
exactly right. And I would actuallysay that it's that it's far more important.
(27:33):
I would say it's far more importantthe smaller the house you have.
I also live in a small house, as you know, And when you
walk in the front door, youget this view out some glass doors and
the fire pit and on and on. There's like about six different level.
I had to move four walls,four walls in order to clear out the
(27:55):
view from the front door. Butit makes all the difference in the world.
And so this is not something thatI'm touting for, like, oh,
I don't live in a mansion,Dan, and I don't have a
German castle in my backyard. No. Actually, I'm saying it's the opposite.
The smaller the house, the smallerthe house, the smaller the space,
the more important of vista like thisis in order to give you that
(28:18):
sense of space and flow and thiswelcoming, h kind of fascinating experience right
at the front door in the entryway. All right, I end this with
Dean, I like your wiener atyour house. Oh at your house.
Tell Tina, I said, wehave z Can we have that Zen music?
Back? Have an awesome weekend,Dean sixty eight tomorrow morning, nine
(28:42):
to noon on Sunday. I'll seeyou next week. Thanks, Jen.

having me on. Absolutely tell peopleabout the Corgy Nationals and what is happening.

really fun day. We've been doingthis since twenty eighteen at Santa Anita and
it is a day that is allabout corgy racing. We have vendors,

and if you love corgies, ifyou love dogs, it's come on down.
Okay, how did you choose whichcorgis can race? Because these are
you can just enter your corgy right, yes you can. It's a very
high demand event. Everybody wants torace their corgy. We moved it to
(29:53):
a lot of a system this yearbecause there were so many people that wanted
to get in. So we haveone hundred corgies at race, and this
year we did a lot ray system. We had almost eight hundred entries,
so we narrowed it down and hundredlucky corgies get to race on Sunday.
Okay, so you've the people rightnow can't go to a website and enter
their dog. You've already chosen therunners. Yeah. Yeah, the Corgi
(30:17):
racing is closed, but you canstill attend and watch all the final all
day long. Okay. So toexplain to me, I guess how do
they don't know? Do the corgiswear numbers? Do they have little race
shirts on? How does that work? Yeah? We do, So they
wear little jerseys with numbers on them. We have a little Corgi racing gates
(30:38):
that's sized for the corgis where thegate floats up and they run one hundred
and twenty five feet across the finishline. So we'll do it in ten
different heats of ten corgis, soit operates ten different heats of ten corgis.
Nick Paliochini who does weekends with Nickpalio'chini, and he's got all kinds
of other things happening. Nick,you're going to be out there for this
(31:00):
right. I cannot wait to joinKelly and the rest of all of the
well racers. The Lolita Beaty racers. I think it's gonna be epic.
I'm so excited, especially to beheading to the racetrack because the beach day
I've done that before and that's ablast. But this is such a different
ball game, so really looking forwardto it. Kelly, can you okay,
so you can bet on the dogskind of like you would bet on
the ponies. No, you can'tbet on the dogs, just the horses
(31:22):
that I'm sure there's probably some sidethat's going on under cover there. I
got you, Jen, don't worrya little. Prop That's what I told
Nick. I said, Nick,I'm gonna give you twenty bucks, and
you did put it on. Youknow whoever the favorite is? How do
you guys come up with who theface? So out of those ten heats,
then do you take the winners andthen they compete. Yeah, so
the tank heats happened, if youknow Santa Neia. The ten heats happened
(31:45):
on the infilled area, which wasa giant festival zone at Santa Anita.
Both happen, and then we moveover to the main track where the horses
race, and we do the semifinals. We do two semifinal races and then
it comes down to one final withten and one winner at the end.
Okay, what did they win?They win bragging rights? Yeah, in
(32:06):
a giant trophy. Um and wewe The one to watch this year is
Emmett. He has won I thinkthree times now. He is so fast
and and he's he's got a fanbase. He's got it all. He's
he's the one to beat. Hehas a fan base. I am the
fan of Corgy Emmett, who hastiny little legs and runs like crazy.
(32:30):
Follow him on Instagram, Jen,So do you really Oh yeah, okay,
okay, will you tweet yeah?Okay, yeah, Nicoll tweet that
out Nick Paliochini on Twitter because Idefinitely want to see Emmett. Is Emmett
like bigger or smaller than everybody?I mean, is there anything that you
can say, like, oh,I bet that's why he's so speedy.
(32:52):
You know, he's average side.But I think he's just got that uber
focus. He looks at the endof the track and he's just to see
him race. I mean, Idon't know, he's on a mission.
I need to see this dog,okay, absolutely when okay, is there
a I was just talking with DeanSharp. I think This is funny,
and it kind of goes hand inhand about wieners and how when you go
(33:13):
to Disneyland, the castle when youwalk in is a thing that you're looking
toward. Because Walt Disney, apparentlywhen he got home every day would go
to the fridge, get himself ahot dog, and give the hot dog
to his dogs. But he couldget them to look anywhere with the wiener.
You know what I mean, likeyou can. That's honestly, that's
how I take pictures of my dogs. If you go on my Instagram,
JJLK five, there's my Christmas pictureis on there and it's me sitting on
(33:37):
the bed. We're all dressed inthe same like pajamas, I guess you
could say. And if you lookvery closely at my hands, there is
ham in my hands. And soI got them to look at me and
focus on me like I was tellingthem a bedtime story with the ham.
So is there a wiener or someham or something? How do they know
(33:57):
what they're racing toward? Usually it'sjust a bunch of people failing their hands
at the finish line. Okay,come to me, but I mean we
allow you know, noisemakers toys.It's so far away that food probably doesn't
work, although quarkies are very foodmade motivated. So but yeah, just
anything to get the dogs attention,and usually they're just they have one person
(34:20):
releasing the door, but the dogand then the other person's at the end,
so it's just they're super excited.That is awesome, all right,
Kelly, give everybody the nuts andbolts of where this weekend when all that

both of you are very like smiley, happy guys with the sneakiest snarky side.
Like, all of a sudden,the two of you throw zingers at
me and I'm like, you're thenice guys in the room. I love
it. It didn't take the twoof us together with Oscar and then you've
got a real mess. So ohabsolutely all right, thank you Nick.
(36:13):
Oh hey, you can add thisto this weekend with Nick Paliochini. Yea,
now about this one. I havetwo dollar movies down. Regal is
bringing back its discounted ticket programs sokids and kids at heart I eat us
can kick off the summer movies.So it's Summer Movie Express they're calling it.
(36:35):
It runs through the first week ofSeptember and the deal is good for
the first movie of every Tuesday andWednesday of the month, I guess.
So you can see sing Minions,Puss in Boots, Shrek, Sonic the
Hedgehog, and other animated films fortwo bucks. That's epic. Now,
I mean super smart on Regals partbecause two bucks. It's not the tickets,
(36:59):
I'm I'm sure that they make bigmoney off of. It's all the
concessions, right, So you getthe people in there and like little Johnny
and Little Jenny and little Nick don'twant popcorn with extra butter and candy and
all that kind of stuff. Sovery smart on regals part, get them
in and finally, can we talkabout this ice cream. It is the
(37:20):
world's most expensive ice cream. They'recalling it luxury ice cream. It is
more expensive than two months rent insouthern California. Guinness World Records has deemed
slato cellato so like gelato salato,the most expensive ice cream around. One
(37:43):
scoop of Bayakuya ice cream, Iguess would cost more than six thousand dollars.
We're a freaking scoop of ice cream. The savory treat features white truffle,
parmesan cheese, and sake. Okay, that sounds horrible. It's dusted
(38:07):
with edible gold leaves and comes witha set of instructions on how to eat
it. But stop it right now, a set of instructions on how to
eat ice cream that tastes like whitetruffles and parmesan cheese with some sake.
If you forgot how to enjoy yourice cream, or you thought that sounded
(38:29):
like a good idea to spend sixthousand dollars on a savory ice cream,
I feel like you might be aperson who needs some instructions on how to
eat it. Saying it's Kafi andKOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
This has been your wakeup call.You've been listening to your Wakeup Call with
me, Jennifer Jones Lee and youcan always hear wake Up Call five to
(38:49):
six am Monday through Friday at kfI AM six forty and anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app
Hey, it's Jennifer Jones Lee.You're listening to KFI, a M six
forty wake up call on demand onthe iHeartRadio app. You are in the
home stretch. Here's Jennifer Jones Leewith your Friday morning wake up call.
(00:21):
Happy for Friday. Oh, wehave a beautiful Memorial Day weekend coming up.
It's gonna be a little cloudy inthe morning, sunny in the afternoon.
I was just in the sixties too, about the low eighties. Sonya,
It's a good weekend for a barbecue. But just like mister announcer Guy
(00:45):
says normally, I want to makefun of him, this morning he was
spot on. Just don't forget whywe get it. You know, as
a former Army wife, do Iget to continue to be an Army wife.
But that I learned from being marriedto somebody in the military for so
long is that when you hear somethinglike the national anthem or you see the
(01:12):
flag or something like that, whenyou're in it, you start to think
about it a whole lot more andyou start to understand what the men and
women who fight for us and aremembers of our military do for us,
and it gives it a whole newperspective. And so yeah, I know
(01:32):
a lot of people say Happy MemorialDay. And the reason I don't get
offended by that when they say thatis because I'm okay with celebrating those who
fought for our country. Does thatmake sense? And I know that a
lot of people will say, oh, you don't say Happy Memorial Day,
which is true. But if somebodydoes, just think of it as,
(01:55):
you know what, we're doing acelebration of the lives that they put on
the line for us. Hey,trying to put a positive spin on life
these days, you know. Sothat's the way I'm looking at it.
Anyway, on this Memorial Day weekend. Oh what is that music, Tyler?
It's a little patriotic, you know, undertones, little something, well
(02:15):
something. Come on. Don't youlike the way that I'm trying to spin
this because people get so offended whensomebody says Happy Memorial Day. Oh I
love it. It is your wakeup call? Can we do patriotic music
all morning long? Sure? Okay? I need proud to be an American.
(02:38):
Need a little Lee Greenwood coming up. Investigators are looking for a motive
in the stabbing of a metro driverin Woodland Hills, allegedly by a seventeen
year old boy. President Biden sayshe's sure an agreement will be reached to
raise the debt ceiling, and theLa County Coroner's office says DJ and dancer
Stephen Boss known as Twitch, diedby sue Aside without other causes. We're
(03:00):
also going to get the Entertainment Reportearly this morning from ABC's Jason Nathan saying,
we've got the Little Mermaid, We'vegot you hurt my feelings. We
have American born Chinese. So whateveryou're watching at the box office, whatever
you're streaming, Jason's got a littlebit of everything for you. So let's
(03:21):
start with some of these stories comingout of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Investigators are looking for a motive inthe stabbing of a Metro driver in
Woodland Hills, allegedly by a seventeenyear old boy. The team and the
bus driver got into some sort ofargument on the bus, which ended up
on the sidewalk where police say theteens stabbed the driver. Metro board member
are A Najarian says despite the attackWednesday, the Metro system is safe for
(03:44):
the majority of riders. We carryhundreds of thousands of transit riders every day
and hundreds of millions of riders everyyear without incident. He says it's unrealistic
to put officers on every bus,but not a mix of resources, including
law enforcement members will the Turk crimein Woodland Hills Blake Trolley kafinews. The
US Marshall's Office says thirteen kids fromsouthern California have been rescued during a countrywide
(04:09):
effort. Operation we Will Find Youwas created to find missing, abducted,
or runaway children. The thirteen kidswere found in San Bernardino Riverside in La
Counties. Most of homer runaways andhad already fallen into the sex trade.
Thirteen local law enforcement agencies also helped. Overall, from March first to May
fifteenth, one hundred sixty nine kidswere rescued, forty two of whom were
found outside the city where they disappeared, and ten were found in Mexico.
(04:30):
The youngest rescued was six months oldin downtown La Steve Gregory kafinews. A
new canine memorial has been unveiled infront of LAPD headquarters honoring police dogs killed
in the line of duty. CaptainBrian Bixlers says canines are the backbone of
policing. Without question. The canineteams that are available every day, day
(04:51):
or night, rain or shine,have saved the lives of officers, lives
of the public, and lives ofsuspects. Bixler said yesterday. Four dogs
have died since the program started innineteen eighty. The memorial shows a bronze
sculpture of a kenine resting on topof a large marble base. There will
be no default. President Biden sayshe is sure an agreement will be reached
(05:15):
to raise the debt ceiling made cleartime and again to falling on our national
debt is not an option. Bidensays talks between his administration and Speaker McCarthy's
team have made progress, but Republicannegotiator, Congressman Patrick McHenry says there are
still fundamental disagreements that are yet tobe resolved. Biden says he will not
agree to spending cuts Republicans want.The Treasury Department has said an agreement is
(05:40):
needed by June first so the UScan continue to pay its bills. ABC's
Jason Nathanson, I like this Thisis the way to start a Friday with
you in the Entertainment Report. Hey, good morning, good morning. So
did we need another Little Mermaid?And is this one any good? Well?
I think we should stop asking thequestion do we need another X from
(06:00):
especially from Disney, because they're gonnagive it to us, right, every
every animated classic they've done, they'regonna give us a remix. So just
you know, to accept that that'syeah, except that that's factum And so
when it comes to you know,because I think we had this conversation when
it came to the Peter Pan acouple of years, a couple of weeks
ago, same thing people were asking. Now, Peter Pan is a little
different. That's been done a billiontimes. A Little Mermaid we haven't seen,
(06:26):
you know, we saw the nineteeneighty United Classic and that's that's kind
of pretty much it. So thisis kind of right for something new.
And this is a live action version, so you have real people um doing.
You know, there's I think thelike Sebastian the Crab and things like
that are cgi and animated, butum Arialls is a real person played by
(06:47):
Halle Bailey. Ursula is played byMelissa McCarthy and you know, she's she's
really doing the stuff there. It'snot just voice acting. Um. And
when it comes to I guess dowe really need Yeah? You know,
I think each generation it's okay forthem to have their own version of something,
especially if it's going to be alittle bit different. This one is
(07:10):
a little bit different when it comesto the story. They've changed a few
things here and there, not notmajor changes, but they've they've made a
few changes, and this is oneof the better I think Disney remakes that
we've seen so far over the pastI don't know, ten to fifteen years
that they've really been doing this.Beauty and the Beast was probably the most
popular, I think in terms ofmoney. The Lion King also that that
(07:35):
actually might have been the most popular. But Lion King wasn't live action,
right, that was new cgi Thisis live action. So I liked it,
you know, I didn't love it. And I think that's the thing
here. People love the Little Mermaid, right, and so I think you
want, you want anything that you'regonna make, it's just hard to live
(07:56):
up to that when you have sucha beloved film. I think anything you're
gonna do is gonna fall short fromthe from the original. There's just I
mean, I haven't seen anything yet, uh, you know, side like
the Lion King. A lot ofpeople praised the animation and the new way
that they did that kind of stuff. People really liked that, But was
(08:18):
the story necessarily different or better orwith the songs or anything. Here you
have almost I think almost all thesame songs and then a couple others from
Lin Manuel Miranda did a couple ofthem, I know, with Alan Mankin
who wrote the original music. Sothe two of them combined together. Halle
Bailey is fantastic. I think herperformance is great. She can really sing
(08:39):
um so it's good. It's solid, which I think people want. Amazing.
I don't think it's gonna get there, but it's it's not bad like
last year's Pinocchio or yes, buthave not been good all right? Well,
I mean, I don't know.I think you're right putting the spin
(09:00):
on it that kind of each generationcan have its own version. Then okay,
I'm fine with that. But I'ma traditionalist. I like the originals
leave it alone kind of thing.But I get it. I see that
what they're doing and with that castOkay, fine. I mean it's probably
just gonna be fun with those playersalone, So all good there, go
see it. It sounds like it'sa good one. What about the Machine,
(09:22):
I was seeing something about like finallybringing back raunchy comedy again in the
headlines. Yeah, and we've seenraunchy comedies before. I don't know.
Bert Kreisher has been talking a lotabout that, and I don't know if
you know who he is. He'sa comedian. Is a really popular podcast
with Tom Sigura called Two Bears,One Cave, and a couple other podcasts
(09:43):
as well. But he's a superpopular comedian who has over the past few
years gained a lot more popularity.I think he's somewhere around fifty right now
and has really hit his stride interms of his career and has able to
was to get this movie made,which is based on a popular story I
think he first told on the JoeRogan podcast, which is it's based on
(10:07):
a true story. When he wasin college. I think he was around
twenty two or something. He wenton a foreign exchange program to Russia and
ended up robbing a train with theRussian mafia. That was true. That
actually agree yes that that actually happened, and so and it's it's it's a
story. It's a story that's madehim famous. Um and it's called the
(10:28):
Machine. If you look at alot of people know it. If you
look it up, you can youcan watch him tell that story. And
so this is a kind of reimaginedmovie version where he has to go back
to Russia to kind of right thewrongs that he set in motion so many
years ago, and he goes alongwith his father played by Mark Hamill Um.
And one of the most fun thingsabout this movie is getting to watch
(10:50):
Mark Hamill, you know, saythings Mark Hamill doesn't normally get to say,
um and put things up his nosethat you normally don't get to see
Mark Camill put up this. Iwould get a see it for that,
So there is some fun to that. Now. Bert Kreischer, I got
a chance to talk to him.One of the nicest guys I think in
the industry, and he's a guyyou want to see succeed. That said
(11:15):
the movie, I don't think it'squite there. And he's trying really hard,
and you can tell he's trying reallyhard. He left it all on
the screen. But it gets alittle too for I think for my taste,
it got a little too much actionand a little less comedy. I
really wanted the comedy. I wantedto laugh, and they thought they were
(11:37):
making an action movie, which isfine, but it just it didn't exactly
work for me in the way.And he's he's so nice, and he's
so kind of delusional when it comesto Hollywood, like he doesn't really know.
I was listening to his podcast earlierthis week and he was talking to
Kevin Smith and he was talking abouthow much he thinks it's gonna make Opening
Weekend, and Bert Kreischer was like, I don't know, like one hundred
(11:58):
and fifty two million. Oh,And Kevin Smith just laughed at him.
He's like, so it's going tobe better than Topkin Maverick and and he's
like, yeah, sure, likeit could be. You know. Oh
I love that, you know,I kind of like that naivete that's nice
in Hollywood every now it is.It is really nice, and he's a
(12:18):
really nice guy. And again wewant to see him succeed. I think,
um, this might not be it, but if it introduces more people
to him and to his other stuff, which is great. His comedy specials
on Netflix are really funny. Umagain, I like the podcast, so
you know, there's there's stuff tolike about Burt Kreischer. This movie might
not be the best, all right, Jason, have a wonderful weekend.
(12:39):
Enjoyer. Hopefully you get Monday off. I'm assuming I will get most of
Monday off. One other thing Iwanted to recommend real quick. You were
talking about the dog ceremony, thelapd dogs. Yeah. Yeah. One
of the best things I've watched thisweek is Steve Gregory's video of the dog
trying to take the thing off thisall right, right, which is awesome.
(13:03):
That was fantastic that a dog,a police dog, try to unveil
the statue. It doesn't go asplanned and it's very very funny. All
right, Jason, have an awesomeone. I'll talk to you next by
ABC is Jason Nathanson. I wantJason's job. You get to watch movies,
TV shows, talk to stars.It's a good life for Jason Nathanson.
(13:26):
Some business owners day in Hollywood areasking the city to do something about
a homeless camp that's come back.It's a camp near Sunset and Martell Avenue.
Was cleared out a year ago,but people who work in the area
say it's back and bigger than ever, and South Carolina's abortion band law is
already being challenged in court. RepublicanGovernor Henry McMaster signed the Fetal Heartbeat and
(13:48):
Protection from Abortion Act on Thursday,and then almost immediately playing parenthood a South
Atlantic, that division of it fileda lawsuit. You know, they probably
had that one ready to go.Coming up. At five thirty five,
we're going to talk with the KopisHouse, whispered Dean Sharpe. His notes
say that we're talking about hallways andfour years, but then there's also kind
(14:09):
of a riddle in it. I'lltell you what that riddle might be and
what we're going to have to make. Dean clear up in just a few
minutes. But speaking of clearing thingsup, the President says he is sure
there's going to be a debt ceilingraise, is there? Karen Travers,
good morning to you. Good morning. Yeah. I mean we're now six
days out from this x state thatthe Treasury Secretary of glad out. We're
(14:35):
hearing from sources that they're inching closerto a deal. It has not been
finalized. But what they're getting closertoward would increase the borrowing limit to debt
ceiling for two years. It wouldincrease defense and veteran spending, and also
clawback that un spent COVID funding,which both sides have agreed to at this
point most likely, but Remuslicans arestill pushing for some deeper domestic spending cuts
(14:58):
and the President has really pushed backon that. We've heard that publicly too,
So the clock is ticking. Youkeep hearing that phrase. But you
know, the House sent home rankand file members, negotiators stayed in town
to keep working on this. Theysaid they're going to work on it twenty
four hours a day. We knowthat they were still talking to White House
officials yesterday. But the President yesterdayagain expressed confidence that a deal will be
(15:18):
reached, an agreement will come together, and that they're not even talking about
default. That they've all agreed defaultis not going to happen, it's not
an option, but that they're workingout the budget and spending issues, that
that's what they're actually trying to hammerhome at. But yeah, of course,
because that's the hard stuff, that'swhy it's taking so long. It's
very difficult to come to that.If it were easy, they would have
(15:41):
already reached the agreement months ago.I like the question that you ask White
House spokesperson Crane Jean Pierre yesterday becauseI think that this is what a lot
of us are feeling like is beingmissed, Like, hey, what about
us? What about the impact onAmericans who rely on payments from the government.
I think that's the thing that getslost in this political fight sometime is
(16:06):
how it affects the little guy,which is us. Yeah, and there
really wasn't a great answer yesterday,or at least an answer that I think
people were satisfied with. You know, next week, if the government hits
the borrowing limit, if there isa default, there is that real risk
of payments from the government not beingable to go out. They have to
figure out what they pay and whatthey don't pay when they can't borrow any
(16:29):
more money, and that would beSocial Security payments, military pensions, military
payments, medicare payments. Like,there's big concerns here. So I asked
yesterday, you know, what's themessage to those people who rely on payments
from the government to pay their ownbills? Should they be worried that a
deposit might not hit, and Karentalked about what the president is fighting for,
you know, in terms of spendingcuts that Republicans are pushing for,
(16:53):
that this is what he's standing upagainst. And they said, you know,
we keep hearing a America, keephearing the White House a default is
not an option. But can theyalso hear from the White House a guarantee
that the government will be able todeliver their deposits, their checks next week.
She did not give that guarantee.She said, we're going to do
everything we can to make sure defaultis not an option. All right,
(17:15):
Karen, thank you so much.I appreciate it, have a great day.
Thanks you to see later. ABC'sKaren Traverse. I agree, that's
not the response that I want becauseall of a sudden, Karen asked a
question about the American people, andthe responses blame the Republicans. I get
(17:37):
that this is a partisan fight,straight down the middle. Nobody wants to
compromise. I get that, butagain, doesn't it make you feel like
they forgot about what they're there for, Like, how about not fighting for
your team, about fighting for thepeople you represent? I don't know,
(18:00):
It's disheartening sometimes when you feel likethey care more about winning the political fight
than they do about winning for us. I'm very pie in the sky this
morning. What they woke up onthe pipe dream side of the bed.
Apparently a father in Marietta is warningother parents about a man that he says
(18:25):
tried to kidnap his ten year olddaughter. I would you say the parents,
they's never too early or too lateto talk to your kids about,
you know, the dangers of ourworld right now. But this is scary
because the attempt at kidnapping Sunday wascaught on a neighbors security camera. The
girl was in the driveway of herhome playing volleyball with her dad, so
(18:45):
he goes inside to get some water. While he goes inside, there's a
man who approaches the girl and chasesher up her own driveway. The girl
goes inside screaming, and the manquickly walks away in her own driveway where
her dad just went in to geta drink of water. La County DA
(19:06):
George Gascona has announced the exoneration andrelease of a man who spent thirty three
years in state prison for a crimehe says he did not commit gascon says
Daniel. Seldonna was wrongfully convicted ofattempted murder in nineteen ninety, but Seldonna
says he never lost hope. I'mthankful for the disc attorney Long Beach for
(19:27):
all their help. You know,they are beautiful people. I mean they're
like family. They've been there forme, supportive. Seldonna was convicted of
shooting at a group of high schoolstudents in Baldwin Park, but new evidence
shows Seldonna was not involved in theshooting that was presented during a parole hearing
in twenty seventeen that prompted an investigationin which the DA's office declared Seldonna innocent.
(19:52):
Don't seat yourself. There's a Starbucksin Studio City that has removed the
chairs for customers. The store inthe Studio City Plaza did not specify why
the seating was removed, but aspokesman from Starbucks implied that it was due
to safety concerns. Patron Heather Momoasays she once saw a homeless man lock
himself in the location's bathroom. Hehave locked himself in there to get some
(20:12):
sleep, and it was hard forthem to get him out. And they
ended up having to call the copson that. When asked yesterday when the
seats would return, the spokesman didn'trespond. Six other locations shut down last
year or because of vandalism and othercrimes. Chris Adler KFI News OC supervisors
say they do not want a needleexchange program that previously recovered just twenty thousand
(20:36):
of eighty thousand needles distributed each day. Supervisor Katrina Foley says tens of thousands
of needles end up on playground,sidewalks and even on the beach. I
will do whatever I can to tryto make sure that, given that we
don't have a choice, that itis operated in a way that does not
increase the amount of littering in ourcommunity. Supervisors say the latest state regulated
(21:03):
program promises to recover sixty percent ofthe needles distributed. County health officials suggested
Tuesday the needles be stamped by thestate or nonprofit distributor to identify who is
responsible for the needles discarded in thecommunity. There's a censorship debate that started
in Fullerton over a decision to removeNazi symbols from a sixth grade performance of
(21:25):
the Sound of music. We stilltry to protect our kids based on how
old they are. Fullerton School DistrictSuperintendent Bob Pletka says the Nazi flag and
how Hitler salute were removed from performanceswhich are going on this week. As
an example, the Standish Inquisition andthe torture Chambers and something like Iron Maiden.
We wouldn't have kids act that out. It's not age appropriate for small
(21:45):
children, he says. Plus,with social media, a well meaning post
from a parent can cause embarrassment orpain if co opted by a hateful or
political group. Some parents called thedecision censorship and a watering gown of history.
In Fullerton Corbin Cars News. Inthe meantime, it's Kaofy's house,
whisper Dean Sharp. You can followhim on social media at Home with Dean.
(22:07):
Also listen to him Tomorrow morning fromsix to eight, Sunday from nine
to noon. Dean, good morning. I know that I talked with you
briefly about four years and hallways whenHandle's line glitched earlier this week. But
the thing I want to know todayis, after going over your note notes
more thoroughly, what is dark,claustrophobic and has no Wiener. That is
(22:32):
my riddle to you this morning.Well, and by the way, I
thought you were gonna say that youwoke up with your glass overflowing because it
was house whisperer Friday. I meanit is, That's what I meant.
Okay, So let's start with Clouster. Oh, I like it. Don't
(22:52):
you feel very buddha esque? Ido. I'm very really, I'm too
relaxed now to really that music.It's relaxing. Take us into a dark
hallway, which nobody wants or so, yeah, the the entryway. I'm
just it was a way of gettingyour attention about, you know, the
potential downsides of entryways and potential possibilitiesfor an entryway. Entryways should not be
(23:19):
dark. They should be as lightas possible, not only artificial lighting,
but as much natural light as possible. And the Wiener, what the heck
is the Wiener? I know.I throw that in there because I and
I talked to my clients about itas well, because it gets their attentions
in their mind so that they rememberwhat it is that I'm trying to get
(23:41):
across here. It's actually an oldanecdote from the history of Disneyland and Walt
Disney Walt, you would be thrilledto know, was a dog lover,
huge, huge dog lover. Waltalways had dogs, love dogs. Every
day would come home and go directlyto the refrigerator and grab a hot dog
(24:04):
for himself and one for the dog. Okay, so now, but here's
how it translates into Disneyland. Okay. Walt was always just fascinated with the
fact that he could always get hisdogs to do whatever they wanted them to
do, look wherever he wanted themto look, simply by holding the wiener
(24:29):
in the direction of where they wantedto look. Obviously, right, I
mean, it's a dog treat.And there was a day when the planning
of Disneyland was being discussed yet againwith his imagineers that he said to everybody,
listen, the park needs not onlyone, but multiple Wieners. In
(24:49):
other words, when you enter thepark, you should not only be captivated
with where you're at, but drawntowards some thing in the distance. And
you could imagine, well, I'mgoing to ask you right now, when
you go to Disneyland, what isthe wiener? Oh my gosh, well
when you walk if Okay, soI'm thinking about once you walk through in
(25:11):
the you know, the security checkpointor whatever, both, once you're standing
in main Street. Once you're standingin main Street, what's the weener that
draws you into the rest of thepark? Yeah, Tyler said it the
castle, the castle exactly exactly,that was it. So in other words,
and by the way, this isthe only part of Disneyland that breaks
(25:34):
the rule that we don't want tohave reference to other lands while we're standing
in one land. Okay, Sowhen we're standing in one land, we
don't want to see the other landsbecause we don't want to break the story.
But when you are on main Street, you are standing in eighteen something,
you know, late eighteen hundreds ofAmerican downtown, and you are looking
(25:59):
in the distance at a Gothic Germancastle, okay, and it draws you
into the park. That is theweener. And every great entryway into every
great house, whether it is amansion or a shed, every great entryway,
whenever possible, should have a wiener. In other words, when you
(26:22):
come in the front door and I'mstarting to orient myself to your home,
there, if there can be somethingin the distance, something by way of
view or vista that teases me anddraws wants to know, draws me into
a walking deeper into your home.That's the wiener, and every great entryway
(26:45):
can and should have one. Ilove. Okay, So I kind of
feel like I did my duty thenwithout even knowing that I had a wiener
in my house. So when youwalk in my front door and my house
is you know, it's small,it's not even fourteen square feet, but
there's a like, I don't know, there are these ledges kind of as
you walk into the house. Andon top of that, I have a
(27:08):
like four foot tree that's lit.It's like an olive tree. But then
as you're looking straight through straight tothe other side of my house, like
backside of the house, there's anotherlit tree and I'm like trying to draw
you in with my lights on theI have a weener and didn't know it
exactly right. And I would actuallysay that it's that it's far more important.
(27:33):
I would say it's far more importantthe smaller the house you have.
I also live in a small house, as you know, And when you
walk in the front door, youget this view out some glass doors and
the fire pit and on and on. There's like about six different level.
I had to move four walls,four walls in order to clear out the
(27:55):
view from the front door. Butit makes all the difference in the world.
And so this is not something thatI'm touting for, like, oh,
I don't live in a mansion,Dan, and I don't have a
German castle in my backyard. No. Actually, I'm saying it's the opposite.
The smaller the house, the smallerthe house, the smaller the space,
the more important of vista like thisis in order to give you that
(28:18):
sense of space and flow and thiswelcoming, h kind of fascinating experience right
at the front door in the entryway. All right, I end this with
Dean, I like your wiener atyour house. Oh at your house.
Tell Tina, I said, wehave z Can we have that Zen music?
Back? Have an awesome weekend,Dean sixty eight tomorrow morning, nine
(28:42):
to noon on Sunday. I'll seeyou next week. Thanks, Jen.
Bye. Kelly McLamore is the ownerand co founder of SoCal Corgi Beach Day
and Corgi Nationals, which are happeningthis weekend at Santa Anita Raceway. Kelly,
good morning, I wish I hadyour job. What a fun,
fun gig you have. Thank you. Good morning, Jennifer, thanks for
(29:06):
having me on. Absolutely tell peopleabout the Corgy Nationals and what is happening.
I mean, for dogs to takeover Santa Anita in the fashion that
you guys are doing, it ispretty spectacular. Yes, it is a
really fun day. We've been doingthis since twenty eighteen at Santa Anita and
it is a day that is allabout corgy racing. We have vendors,
(29:29):
we have food trucks, we haveof course horse racing. There's also a
carnival going on from Santa Anita thatday, so there's a lot going on
and if you love corgies, ifyou love dogs, it's come on down.
Okay, how did you choose whichcorgis can race? Because these are
you can just enter your corgy right, yes you can. It's a very
high demand event. Everybody wants torace their corgy. We moved it to
(29:53):
a lot of a system this yearbecause there were so many people that wanted
to get in. So we haveone hundred corgies at race, and this
year we did a lot ray system. We had almost eight hundred entries,
so we narrowed it down and hundredlucky corgies get to race on Sunday.
Okay, so you've the people rightnow can't go to a website and enter
their dog. You've already chosen therunners. Yeah. Yeah, the Corgi
(30:17):
racing is closed, but you canstill attend and watch all the final all
day long. Okay. So toexplain to me, I guess how do
they don't know? Do the corgiswear numbers? Do they have little race
shirts on? How does that work? Yeah? We do, So they
wear little jerseys with numbers on them. We have a little Corgi racing gates
(30:38):
that's sized for the corgis where thegate floats up and they run one hundred
and twenty five feet across the finishline. So we'll do it in ten
different heats of ten corgis, soit operates ten different heats of ten corgis.
Nick Paliochini who does weekends with Nickpalio'chini, and he's got all kinds
of other things happening. Nick,you're going to be out there for this
(31:00):
right. I cannot wait to joinKelly and the rest of all of the
well racers. The Lolita Beaty racers. I think it's gonna be epic.
I'm so excited, especially to beheading to the racetrack because the beach day
I've done that before and that's ablast. But this is such a different
ball game, so really looking forwardto it. Kelly, can you okay,
so you can bet on the dogskind of like you would bet on
the ponies. No, you can'tbet on the dogs, just the horses
(31:22):
that I'm sure there's probably some sidethat's going on under cover there. I
got you, Jen, don't worrya little. Prop That's what I told
Nick. I said, Nick,I'm gonna give you twenty bucks, and
you did put it on. Youknow whoever the favorite is? How do
you guys come up with who theface? So out of those ten heats,
then do you take the winners andthen they compete. Yeah, so
the tank heats happened, if youknow Santa Neia. The ten heats happened
(31:45):
on the infilled area, which wasa giant festival zone at Santa Anita.
Both happen, and then we moveover to the main track where the horses
race, and we do the semifinals. We do two semifinal races and then
it comes down to one final withten and one winner at the end.
Okay, what did they win?They win bragging rights? Yeah, in
(32:06):
a giant trophy. Um and wewe The one to watch this year is
Emmett. He has won I thinkthree times now. He is so fast
and and he's he's got a fanbase. He's got it all. He's
he's the one to beat. Hehas a fan base. I am the
fan of Corgy Emmett, who hastiny little legs and runs like crazy.
(32:30):
Follow him on Instagram, Jen,So do you really Oh yeah, okay,
okay, will you tweet yeah?Okay, yeah, Nicoll tweet that
out Nick Paliochini on Twitter because Idefinitely want to see Emmett. Is Emmett
like bigger or smaller than everybody?I mean, is there anything that you
can say, like, oh,I bet that's why he's so speedy.
(32:52):
You know, he's average side.But I think he's just got that uber
focus. He looks at the endof the track and he's just to see
him race. I mean, Idon't know, he's on a mission.
I need to see this dog,okay, absolutely when okay, is there
a I was just talking with DeanSharp. I think This is funny,
and it kind of goes hand inhand about wieners and how when you go
(33:13):
to Disneyland, the castle when youwalk in is a thing that you're looking
toward. Because Walt Disney, apparentlywhen he got home every day would go
to the fridge, get himself ahot dog, and give the hot dog
to his dogs. But he couldget them to look anywhere with the wiener.
You know what I mean, likeyou can. That's honestly, that's
how I take pictures of my dogs. If you go on my Instagram,
JJLK five, there's my Christmas pictureis on there and it's me sitting on
(33:37):
the bed. We're all dressed inthe same like pajamas, I guess you
could say. And if you lookvery closely at my hands, there is
ham in my hands. And soI got them to look at me and
focus on me like I was tellingthem a bedtime story with the ham.
So is there a wiener or someham or something? How do they know
(33:57):
what they're racing toward? Usually it'sjust a bunch of people failing their hands
at the finish line. Okay,come to me, but I mean we
allow you know, noisemakers toys.It's so far away that food probably doesn't
work, although quarkies are very foodmade motivated. So but yeah, just
anything to get the dogs attention,and usually they're just they have one person
(34:20):
releasing the door, but the dogand then the other person's at the end,
so it's just they're super excited.That is awesome, all right,
Kelly, give everybody the nuts andbolts of where this weekend when all that
kind of stuff. Sure so,Santa Anita Park located in Arcadia, California.

Like, all of a sudden,the two of you throw zingers at
me and I'm like, you're thenice guys in the room. I love
it. It didn't take the twoof us together with Oscar and then you've
got a real mess. So ohabsolutely all right, thank you Nick.
(36:13):
Oh hey, you can add thisto this weekend with Nick Paliochini. Yea,
now about this one. I havetwo dollar movies down. Regal is
bringing back its discounted ticket programs sokids and kids at heart I eat us
can kick off the summer movies.So it's Summer Movie Express they're calling it.
(36:35):
It runs through the first week ofSeptember and the deal is good for
the first movie of every Tuesday andWednesday of the month, I guess.
So you can see sing Minions,Puss in Boots, Shrek, Sonic the
Hedgehog, and other animated films fortwo bucks. That's epic. Now,
I mean super smart on Regals partbecause two bucks. It's not the tickets,
(36:59):
I'm I'm sure that they make bigmoney off of. It's all the
concessions, right, So you getthe people in there and like little Johnny
and Little Jenny and little Nick don'twant popcorn with extra butter and candy and
all that kind of stuff. Sovery smart on regals part, get them
in and finally, can we talkabout this ice cream. It is the
(37:20):
world's most expensive ice cream. They'recalling it luxury ice cream. It is
more expensive than two months rent insouthern California. Guinness World Records has deemed
slato cellato so like gelato salato,the most expensive ice cream around. One
(37:43):
scoop of Bayakuya ice cream, Iguess would cost more than six thousand dollars.
We're a freaking scoop of ice cream. The savory treat features white truffle,
parmesan cheese, and sake. Okay, that sounds horrible. It's dusted
(38:07):
with edible gold leaves and comes witha set of instructions on how to eat
it. But stop it right now, a set of instructions on how to
eat ice cream that tastes like whitetruffles and parmesan cheese with some sake.
If you forgot how to enjoy yourice cream, or you thought that sounded
(38:29):
like a good idea to spend sixthousand dollars on a savory ice cream,
I feel like you might be aperson who needs some instructions on how to
eat it. Saying it's Kafi andKOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
