You're listening to KFI AM six fortyWake Up Call with Me Amy King on
demand on the iHeartRadio app this Friday, February twenty third. I'm Amy King,
got my coffee, got yours,jumping up and down, getting the
energy going, getting ready to go. Technical producer Tony is disagreeing with me
(00:23):
completely. At least your eyes areopen, Tony, so that's good.
Hey. You know, the SAGAwards are this weekend, and as being
an employee of KFI, we areunion members, so we get to screen
the movies. So I had tocatch up because the voting deadline is noon,
(00:44):
and I've seen most of them,but there was a couple I hadn't
seen. And the one I hadn'tseen, or one of the ones I
hadn't seen, was Poor Things,the Emma Stone movie. It was weird
and I remember people saying it's weird, and I'm not going to tell you
any about it because I had noidea what it was really about, and
(01:04):
uh, I guess that made itmore entertaining. She did. She did
an amazing job. But just knowthat there's a lot of sex and a
lot of nudity. So I'm gladI didn't go like to a movie theater
with a friend and see it becauseit would have been really uncomfortable. She's
amazing, but uh anyway, andthen I also watched The Color Purple because
(01:25):
it's nominated for a couple of things. And I have to tell you,
some of the songs were really good. Some of them kind of fell short.
And I think my expectations were toohigh because I loved the original movie
The Color Purple. I thought itwas just so so iconic and good.
So this one just kind of draggedon and I found myself up and about
(01:48):
doing stuff around the house and thengoing, oh, wait, I'm watching
a movie. So anyway, That'sthat's how I spent my day yesterday.
But here's what's ahead. On wakeUp Call today, AT and T says
a cell phone outage that affected aboutseventy five thousand phones across the US is
over. AT and T says itwas a technical issue, but the Department
of Homeland Security and the FBI saythey are going to look into the outage
(02:08):
to make sure it wasn't part ofa cyber attack. Plans to build a
gondola to take fans from Union Stationover neighborhoods to Dodger Stadium are a step
closer to becoming reality. The LaMetro Board of Directors approved an environmental impact
statement yesterday and also okay plans toaddress concerns of residents and business owners who
(02:30):
will be impacted by the gondola.Google has put its Gemini AI image generator
on pause. Apparently users had beencomplaining that it was generating inaccurate historical images
like black founding fathers, a femalepope, and also black vikings. Google
says it's working on a fix andwill release an updated version of the generator
(02:52):
pretty soon. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. We're
coming up on the two year anniversaryof Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Let's get
started with some of the stories comingout of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
At and T says sell service thataffected more than seventy thousand customers yesterday.
Actually an interruption was not caused bya cyber attack. ABC's Josh Marglin's
(03:14):
has the company confirmed it was acoding error. Somebody did something with the
software with the updating moving back andforth. They say it was purely a
software glitch. It was resolved andthey are working to make sure that everything
is fixed and doesn't happen again.The outages started at just shortly after midnight
our time yesterday and affected service prettymuch all day. Jurors in the murder
(03:35):
trial of Grossman Burne Foundation co founderRebecca Grossman are do back in court in
Van Nuys for their first full dayof deliberations. They got the case yesterday.
Grossman is charged with killing two youngbrothers in twenty twenty while speeding in
Westlake Village. Her lawyers have arguedhers was not the first car that hit
the boys. The judge in formerPresident Trump's civil fraud trial in New York
(03:59):
has denied a request to delay enforcementof penalties. Trump was ordered to pay
three hundred and fifty five million dollarsearlier this week and was given a month
to do it. His lawyers askedfor a thirty day extension to come up
with the money. The judge foundTrump's team failed to explain or justify any
basis for a delay. The firstUS spacecraft has landed on the Moon's surface
(04:20):
since Apollo seventeen touchdown in nineteen seventytwo. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson praised the
effort it took to get the Odysseusto the Moon yesterday, a new adventure
in science, innovation, an Americanleadership in space. Well, all of
that aced the landing of a lifetime. The unmanned lander will spend about a
(04:45):
week gathering data before it loses power. NASA is planning to land a crew
near the Moon's south pole in twentytwenty six. Just getting news into the
KFI news room, the President Bidenhas announced more than five hundred new sanctions
on Russia over its war in Ukraineand the death of opposition leader Alexey Navalny.
(05:05):
The US is also imposing exports exportrestrictions on about one hundred entities that
support Russia's military efforts, and willalso take action to reduce Russia's energy revenues.
Those all coming from a statement releasedby the White House. President Biden
has met with the wife of Russianopposition leader Alexey Navalney, who died in
(05:28):
prison. Biden says Navolney was aman of incredible courage. We're going to
be announcing the sanctions against Putin,who is responsible for his death, and
that the one thing I made thatwas made clear to me is that Yolana
is She's going to continue to fight. The US is expected to impose more
than five hundred new sanctions, whichhad just announced this morning. They will
(05:54):
again target Russia's military industrialized complex,energy revenues, and third parties who ass
s MUSCO and assessing or accessing suppliesrequired for the war effort. A fake
doctor from Orange County who served prisontime for practicing without a license allegedly tried
to open a new, unlicensed businessjust two weeks after he got out of
prison. The Orange County DA's KimberlyEds says Elias Segoviano pleaded guilty to charges
(06:18):
less than a year ago that hetargeted mostly Hispanic women and did illegal botox
procedures on them. Many of thesewomen suffered serious disfigurement as a result because
he had no idea what he wasdoing. Prosecutors say the guy was released
from prison on December twenty second andtried to start the new business on January
fourth. He's facing the same chargeshe did before. A federal judge in
(06:42):
Orange County says the founder of analleged white supremacist group will not face charges
related to a fight because of antifire right bias. The man and others
are accused of attacking rivals at arally back in twenty seventeen. Well A
judge ruled Wednesday that because the prosecutorschose not to go after charges against Antifa
members from the same rally, hewas not going to allow charges against the
(07:05):
far right group, even though hesaid they deserve to be prosecuted. The
judge said far left groups did muchworse. LA County says the food delivery
app grub Hub has been ripping offcustomers. The suit, filed Wednesday afternoon,
alleges, among other things, grubHub would promote free food but then
add on hidden fees at the lastminute. Scott Coons, an attorney with
(07:26):
the county, and says the companiesalso misrepresenting driver's fees on the app.
It's sort of like hide the ball, bait and switched tactics that are very
frustrating for consumers and frustrating for drivers. Grubhub disputes the claims and says it's
clarified language on the app to bemore transparent. Steve Gregory KFI News,
a former FBI and format accused oflying about bribery allegations against President Biden and
(07:49):
his son Hunter is back in federalcustody. ABC's alex Stonesa's The arrest yesterday
came as Alexander Smirnoff was meeting withhis lawyers in Vegas. There was a
warrant tell this charges from California,on which he had been previously arrested.
According to his attorney, Smirnavy ischarged with making false statements to federal agents.
Smirnov is also charged with having tiesto Russia. He was initially set
(08:11):
free Tuesday under certain conditions, likehaving to wear a GPS monitor and turning
over his passports. Prosecutors argued hisforeign ties and access to money would allow
him to flee the country before goingto trial. A bachelor's degree from community
college could be free under a newstate bill. Assemblyman Miguel Santiago says the
state's education system has enough money tooffer the free degrees. In fact,
(08:35):
the community college funding has increased overthe last several years. K through twelve
funding has increased. Under a currentprogram, students can get two years of
free community college. Santiago's bill extendsthe program another two years. Community colleges
across the state offer limited bachelor's degreeprograms. Blake Trolley, k if I
News. Well, the weekend isupon us. What to do? What
(08:58):
to do? Well, that's wherewe call in the services of Nick Poliochini,
host of This Weekend with Nick podcast. Morning Nick, Good morning Amy,
Good to see you or hear you, good to see you too.
Okay, So this is what we'regonna do. We're gonna do this every
week now because there's so much todo around La and you always know some
(09:20):
of the really fun things to do. So we're going to take Nick's top
picks for the weekend. What yougot for us? So top three are
going to be one in La County, one Orange County, and one in
the Inland Empire starting count Ada forall weekend, cover the whole South Land.
The Firecracker Festival will be going downin Chinatown this weekend in La County,
celebrating the wrap up of Lunar NewYear. That's both on Saturday and
(09:43):
Sunday, and there's also kind ofa focus on health and that's always been
the case in Chinatown for the specialevent. The event happens for you both
on Saturday and Sunday, and ithas a five k and ten k run,
also a twenty and fifty mile bikeride. There's a kitty fun run
and you can even get your pupsin on it because they have a paw
or dog walk that happens through Chinatown, so you can get details about that.
(10:05):
This weekend with Nick dot Com overto Orange County and I'll actually be
hanging out with Darcy Staniforth, whois our own Dean Sharp, the House
Whisper's sister. She's hosting a specialghost tour at the Kellogg House at the
Heritage Museum in Orange County in SantaAna. So that's taking place actually tonight.
There's a special edition of it thatwill be happening next week for Leap
(10:26):
Day for Leapier this year, andthen there's many other weekends that are coming
up where you can check out somereally impressive history about Orange County and the
Kellogg family, who have a beautifulfacility in Santa Anna that's kind of a
heritage piece. And then the lastthing I got for you is in Herpa
Valley for the Inland Empire. Andthis is kind of wild to me because
(10:46):
Dickens doesn't necessarily say February, butthat was Carles Dickens, correct, exactly.
So the Dickens Fest is their thirtyfirst annual happening in Riverside County,
happens every year. It'll be bothSaturday and Sunday, and it's happening at
the Jensen Alvarado Historic Ranch and Museum. Again that's in Horupa Valley. What
do you do at the Dickens Theyhave all those people, so think about
(11:09):
like Christmas. If you ever seelike the Carollers that are all decked out
in their finery, it's the samething, but they're leaning more into like
Oliver Twist and all the other differentCharles Dickens books and really having characters from
them that you're able to interact withalso learn history of the time and era
of Charles Dickens in Europe. Soit's really kind of a fun thing.
But you wouldn't think about heading tothe Inland Empire for something like that,
(11:31):
so you know, it's kind ofa fun different way. And with it
being a little bit chilly this weekendand maybe even a little bit of drizzle
coming back in on Sunday, itwill be, you know, a good
opportunity for you to kind of embracethe days gone by. Okay, and
you mentioned the five and ten krun at the Firecracker Festival. So I'm
going to take this time to tellyou guys that Nick and I are doing
(11:52):
something that we've never done before.Indeed. Yeah, so you know that
we're both big Disney fans, andso Nick, he was texting me a
couple of weeks ago and he's like, Hey, want to do the fun
Run with for Disney because the Disneyhas like these themed runs and they're doing
one for Halloween time or ahead ofHalloween time. So Nick and I both
(12:15):
time starts out in August this year, so yeah, oh yeah, Okay,
for Disney, it's not yeah,so for the rest of the world
is yeah, So in September,I think it's on the seventh, Nick
and I are both doing a tenk and neither one of us run,
No, but would need to lookreally cute in our costumes. Yeah.
And here's what, because it's nota timed event, and here's how we've
justified doing it. It's that whenwe go to the park. If you
(12:37):
go to Disneyland and you keep trackof it on your watch or you have
a fitbit, you walk six,seven, eight, miles in a day,
so we're just going to compress thatand walk the six point two miles
in a couple hours. Yeah,and it'll be fun, I know how
Disney characters along for the ride withus and being able to enjoy the you
know, kind of opening weekend ofHalloween time at the Disneyland resort. So
(12:58):
that'll be a great opportunity and itgives us something to look forward to and
work on to improve our health aswell through two twenty four to get to
that. So we should probably starttraining now because again I don't run period,
right, I mean unless I'm likerunning across the street, so I
don't get hit by a truck orsomething. But that's it, okay.
So those are Nick's top picks forthe weekend. And if you want to
(13:20):
check out other really cool fun stuffto do because there is so much going
on around southern California. Where dowe find you, Nick? You can
find me on Instagram, Nick pollio'keeinion This Weekend with Nick and also you
can visit This Weekend with Nick dotcom. Thank you Nick. When we
come back, we're going somewhere wehaven't been for more than fifty years with
ABC's Jim Ryan. You're listening toWake Up Call on demand from KFI AM
(13:43):
six forty. President Biden has justannounced more than five hundred new sanctions on
Russia over its war with Ukraine oractually in Ukraine, and the death of
Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalni. Hedied in prison last week. The US
also using some export restrictions on aboutone hundred entities that support Russia's military efforts.
(14:05):
LAPD is looking for the one thatgot away. The driver of a
blue Corvette led police on a highspeed chase. It speeds up to one
hundred seventy miles per hour for abouta half hour. Last night. LAPD
lost the car in downtown LA.The first US lunar lander has touched down
on the Moon since nineteen seventy two. Intuitive machines guided its Odysseus lander onto
(14:30):
a surface yesterday and it's now transmittingdata. The lander's mission is to collect
data needed by NASA for about thenext month or so. At six ZHO
five, it's handle on the news. He's going to be telling you about
what caused that big outage. Wasit a technical glitch or something more sinister?
Right now, let's say good morningto ABC's Jim Ryan. So,
(14:52):
Jim, another step for man.Well, actually it's for a lunar lander,
well for not a person but amachine. And yes, it did
touchdown yesterday. We assume there wasa long delay between the moment that we
assumed that the lander touchdown on thelunar surface and some kind of confirmation coming
from Intuitive Machines, the company thatis behind this whole project right now.
(15:16):
The company said that it was receivinga week's signal later on, and that
was confirmation enough that the thing hadactually settled onto the surface. But there
was kind of touch and go therefor a while. I mean, in
fact, they had to do anextra loop around the Moon to solve a
technical glitch related to a navigation system. They weren't sure that they could find
(15:37):
an appropriate spot for the thing toland. It's all being done autonomously.
It's not like back in the dayswhen you had a couple of guys sitting
in this lunar lander, you know, physically guiding the thing to a soft
touchdown. The machine does it byitself and we wait then for confirmation messages
from the machine that the job wasdone. Well, they got it done.
(15:58):
So what's this going to what's itgoing to do for the next week
or so. Well, it's goingto send back data. That's the big
thing here about what it's discovering thereon the Moon. A big part of
this project is a NASA experiment.They're trying to find any evidence that there's
water somewhere on the Moon or somekind of water source, right, frozen
water, or that some evidence thatwater was there. Because the Artemis project
(16:23):
that NASA has on the books isgoing to send people to the Moon at
some point in the next few years, probably before the end of the decade,
I mean, and then on tomorrow'sWell, if we have water already
on the Moon, that means thatwe don't have to take water with us
to sustain the astronauts. Also,what's water, it's hydrogen, it's oxygen,
oxygen. You can use those elementsto create fuel jet fuel. So
(16:47):
we'll be making our own jet fuelon the Moon and then using that to
launch off to Mars and beyond,plus sustaining the lives of our astronauts sitting
there on the Moon. And Iwould think that that it would be kind
of imperative that they had water becausewater weighs a whole lot and we have
learned from our yours in my conversationsand talking to Neil deGrasse Tyson, like
(17:10):
every ounce counts when you're trying toget something off of Earth and into space.
Sure, I mean, that's whythis lunar lander was only about twelve
feet tall something like that. It'sa it's a fairly it's about the size
of a phone booth. And you'reright, every inch of it is packed
with stuff because it's expensive to dothat, and you know, so they
try to put in as much asthey can and make it as light weight
(17:33):
as possible. But you're right.Water weighs I think eight pounds a gallon,
and that's that's and to try tosustain people who need about a gallon
a day, it's almost impossible totake that much with you. So this
certainly makes it more convenient, maybeeven feasible to do. He doesn't,
doesn't Japan or somebody have another lotlander on the moon. Well, they
(17:55):
remember that last month Japan launched oneand put it down on the Moon,
but it was upside down, soit was a cent worthless. Then the
Peregrine lander that was supposed to landthe US project last month, you know,
it to malfunction then never made itto the moon. It came oh,
that's right, down right, becauseit had problems like two hours in
and they went, yeah, we'renot making it to the moon this month.
(18:15):
All right, Is there anybody elsethere? That's it for now?
No? Nobody else. India hasprojects going in direction too, but you
know, the the US Project rightnow is the one active, one up
and running. Okay, And thenlet's search gears and talk to something that
affected us down here on Earth.And that was AT and T had an
(18:37):
outage about seventy thousand plus people affectedacross the US. Yeah, yeah,
and that's enough to raise concerns thatit was some kind of cyber attack or
some kind of hacking from the outside. Well at least Cord and T and
T. The AT and T isbased here in Dallas, and they were
putting out notes yesterday about this thiswidespread outage, you know, And their
final determination was that it was asoftware problem, in the same way Amy
(19:02):
that you sometimes go to bed andyour phone says I needed a software updates,
So just plug me in, leaveme alone. You'll get up in
the morning, you'll have the newiOS installed. Great, well, that's
what AT and T was trying todo across its whole system. It does
that occasionally. It's a normal kindof thing. But if there is an
issue and there was yesterday with eitherthe software or with the person in charge
(19:22):
of the software, or combination ofthe two, there is a glitch and
people weren't able to use their cellservice. They could get onto Wi Fi.
But even as early as five o'clockyesterday morning Eastern time, the US
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency CISA wasreporting that it had no indication that this
was a hack attack, that itwas some kind of glitch that was causing
(19:45):
this internally at AT and T.But still, I mean, the what
ifs are huge, and I'm sureHANDLE will be taking a look at that
today. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. And then the other
thing I think that we need tokeep in mind is to keep things in
perspective. It was seventy five thousandphones affected across the whole US, and
AT and T has two hundred andforty million customers. Yes, what's more
(20:11):
those there was an outage in ATand T. I think it was AT
and T in Arkansas earlier in theweek and two hundred thousand people were affected
there and we never heard right there. Yeah, it was because it was
Arkansas, because it was isolated,probably both of those things. And again
it was kind of a software issuetoo. But you know, this was
You're right, it was widespread,It involved a lot of people in the
(20:33):
scope of things. It didn't catchin the end. Okay, so technical
trouble, but the FBI and HomelandSecurity said we're going to be watching just
in case. Sure, yeah,they're watching it. But at this point,
the indication is that it was Therewas nothing sinister about this, but
you know, people need to beon guard. I think, is it
(20:55):
time to order another landline for yourhouse when I don't know if they could
even install on anymore. Well,here's the thing in California. It's not
happening in Houston, I don't think, or in Texas where you are.
But they're trying to get out ofrequiring landlines be provided like AT and T
doesn't want to provide landlines anymore.So that's going to be probably a fight
after this. Yeah, well,I think you're right, because I mean
(21:19):
they were telling San Francisco I thinkwas telling people, you know, the
Emergency Opposition Center there saying, look, if you can't get a nine to
one one call to us, finda landline. If you can't get through
to us on your cell phone,we're on Earth. Are you going to
find a landline? I don't know. I don't even have one at my
house. All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for your time
and information. Talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of the
(21:40):
stories coming out of the KFI twentyfour hour newsroom. A man on a
metro bus who was pepper sprayed byanother passenger during an argument in LA's Mid
City area has died. Police werecalled to Western and Olympic last night about
an assault. They were told twomen had been involved in an argument and
the guy with the pepper spray tookoff. No description of the van was
provided. A registered sex offender accusedof indecent exposure at WII Spa in Koreatown
(22:06):
maybe facing a trial. The transwoman allegedly went into the women's side of
the spa, exposing her erect penisto other women, including a minor.
This woman, who goes by theInstagram named Kubana Angel, posted a video
from twenty twenty one of her confrontingspa staff who refused to kick the woman
out, and you got a manwith his penis count back. He's a
woman. He ain't no woman.Yeah, give her her money back.
(22:27):
The trans woman has been a registeredsex offender since two thousand and six and
was in court yesterday for a jurytrial hearing. She's also facing five separate
felonies for indecent exposure at a swimmingcenter in twenty eighteen, Chris Sadler Ka
FI News, a federal grand juryis indicted a man accused of attacking another
passenger on a flight from Seattle toLas Vegas. The FBI says Julio Lopez
(22:48):
was acting fidgety last month before hepunched a guy sitting across from him and
stabbed the man with pens. Lopezreportedly told agents he had never seen the
guy before but planned to kill him. He also claimed he thought the mafia
was chasing him. Lopez was restrainedduring the flight and arrested once it landed.
When we come back, if you'retrying to keep up with the Joneses,
Dean Sharp has the hottest housing trendsfor twenty twenty four that's next.
(23:12):
You're listening to wake Up Call ondemand from KFI AM six forty. AT
and T says a cell phone outagethat affected more than seventy thousand phones across
the US is done with. ATand T says it was a technical issue,
but the Department of Homeland Security andthe FBI say they're looking into the
outage to make sure it wasn't partof a cyber attack. The US has
(23:33):
announced more than five hundred new sanctionson Russia. It's a move to punish
Moscow's war machine and those being heldresponsible for the death of opposition leader Alexey
Navalny. A. Massive landslides expectedto keep Highway one fifty just north of
Santa Paula closed for several weeks.Cal Tran says the mud has to dry
(23:56):
out before crews can even start clearingit. Trying to get between OHI and
Santa Paula being advised to use Highwaysthirty three, one oh one or one
twenty six instead. At six ohfive, it's handle on the news that
crime spree around La County that lefta total of six people dead. A
seventeen year old has been arrested inconnection with that at five point fifty we're
(24:19):
gonna be talking with ABC's Jason Nathanson. We'll be going to the desert and
out of this world. Right now, let's say good morning too the house
Whisper and the host of Home onKFI. It's Dean Sharp. So Dean
trends aren't only in fashion, they'realso in housing. So let's talk about
what's hot and what's not this year. Well, I love, you know,
(24:41):
late February, right before I headoff to the International Builders Show,
kind of looking back at the earlyJanuary articles that come out, Like every
magazine, even you know, USWorld US News and World Report likes to
release these articles about like what's goingto be the building trend for twenty twenty
(25:03):
four, And I love looking backthinking, yeah, maybe hit or miss.
This actually is an article based onan article from a US News and
World Report that I was looking atand they've got a few here, and
I thought it would be interesting tokind of take a look at it.
The first one is absolutely one thatis here and growing, and it's a
(25:26):
growing biophilic design. Ye like thatword biophilic. Biophilia. Biophilia is the
is the love of nature. It'snot just that though, it's actually a
theory about human beings and our needto interact with nature. And so in
the last I'm going to say fifteenyears or so, biophilic design is a
(25:51):
whole category of architectural design now inwhich we are very intentionally focused on the
idea of bringing out doors, inbringing indoors out and just kind of sort
of thinning the veil between the structuresthat we live in and the natural world
around us, not so that weget cold or too hot, but so
that we're really not isolating ourselves fromnature. And as a trend, I
(26:14):
would say it's way more than atrend. It is caught on, and
it is simply the new standard thatmost really good designers are working towards,
and that we've honestly been encouraging ourclients to work towards for a long time.
More windows, more open doors,more concentrating on vistas, more plant
material inside your house. Just it'sall good things there. You know,
(26:37):
I am a nature boy, andthere has always been this tendency of mind
to want to kind of diffuse themiddle ground between being inside and outside with
your house. Yeah, And inthe article that you shared with us that
highlights the biophilic design. There's areally cool picture and I'm like, i'd
(27:00):
all those plants immediately. But it'slike green plants cascading over like a planter
box that's above the tub in thebathroom, and it just looks so cool,
doesn't it look cool? And thosehappen to be air ferns, and
so they literally and here's the thing, you wouldn't kill them because if they
have enough light and they're getting enoughlight in that particular room, those plants
(27:22):
there actually just thrive and grow onthe moisture of a high humid environment.
So I guess the fact that it'sthe bathroom. Yeah, they're gonna do
great. They're literally just gonna eatit all up. And they do great
and you barely have to give themany attention. So yeah, they're all
sorts of these new things. Sobiophilic design, that's a thing. Okay,
(27:45):
sure, cool. I just havea friend who just redid their whole
first floor and it's all in graytowns. Yeah yeah, and you know
what that's problematic? Now? Wellno, and see, this is the
thing that I really hate about thesearticles and the way that the design industry
presents itself, as if, asif we can change directions as quickly as
(28:08):
fashion. You know, it's notjust like you know, what plaids are
out people this year. That's notgoing to be. It's not the case.
Goodbye grays. That's what the articleis saying. Nobody's doing grays anymore.
That's not true. We've always donegrays. Grays have really replaced earth
tones for a good while. Sothere was a trend, for sure.
(28:29):
There was a fad even let's goso far, and I use the word
fad as you know, an extremeoverreaction to like earth tones and things like
that. The fad part of grayis over. But gray is here to
stay. It really is, becauseit's such a useful tone in a home.
So everybody who just remodeled their placeand said, I really like gray,
(28:55):
why does this article say my houseis now out of date. We
just finished three months ago. Youdon't have to worry. You don't have
to worry. So it's just anoverreaction. But yeah, the fad of
everything must be gray. We're wellpast that now. But that doesn't mean
that gray isn't the right color foryour place. That's something that you love,
you know, because I didn't wantto break the news to her that
she was outdated. Yeah, yeah, that's just a thing. Okay,
(29:19):
what is a fad? Y glouted cabinets? What's that louted cabinets is
well, this is a cabinet doorthat has these kind of vertical columns on
it. Okay, that is,without question a fad. So don't feel
like you got to go out andget yourself fluted cabinet doors because if you
don't like it, let it be. Don't touch it, because next year,
(29:44):
I guarantee you we're going to seean article saying, yeah, fluted
cabinets are done. That's over.So you know, that's the kind of
stuff. We just don't want tooverreact to some of these predictions. Okay,
what about the one about making roomfor the in laws? Absolutely,
there is no question. You know, ADUs, the accessory dwelling units you
(30:04):
call them what you will, casitas, guest rooms, mother in law suites,
that extra space in the house,especially in the state of California,
because now ADUs are so easy toadd to your home. Is this an
extra structure or is it you're addinghave to be? You can be,
You can add on to the houseOkay, you can convert your garage into
(30:27):
an adu. Now, in otherwords, most cities before this said,
listen, no, you can't takethe garage because you are required to have
parking. But the state of Californiasaid no, no, you can park
outside. So you can use thegarage. You can add on to the
house, or you can build aseparate structure somewhere on your property if you
have room for that. The pointis housing in California. The codes have
(30:49):
changed and they're super encouraging this,and it's just I think, I think
it is the trend of our culture. We've got aging parents to take care
of that we don't want to putand homes. We've got boomeranging children coming
back from college who are waiting fortheir one big job opening to come about.
All of these things are pointing ustowards the idea of having extra communal
(31:14):
space for extended family and friends.Okay, and just real quick, because
we've got about twenty seconds left.But bringing inside outside is a thing,
or bringing outside inside, Oh,for sure, it is a huge thing.
It's a huge thing. Nobody youand I kind of talked about it
last week about Wayfarer's chapel right,I mean a perfect example of bringing outside
(31:36):
in a chapel made of glass,a very very small space, but you
can see right through it to theoutside. That's why people love that place.
Okay. So like small screened inpatios, small backyard patios, front
porches, those things are all trendingright now, all in Okay. Dean
Sharp the host of home right hereon KFI from six to eight am on
Saturday and nine to noon on Sunday, and can't wait to hear once you

check in after the International Builders Show. Yeah, we'll have lots of fun
to talk about. Thanks Amy,Thankstein. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFItwenty four our news room of State Assembly
bill being introduced would make it easierto remove potential jurors with a bias against
police if it were to become law. The legislation would overturn Governor Newsom's twenty
twenty policy, which says jurors couldnot be the subject of peremptory challenge on
(32:23):
the basis of their negative views ofpolice. Riverside. Republican Bill as Sale
says his bill would allow attorneys toask for the dismissal of a potential juror
if it was determined that person wasanti cop law experts have said the bill
would hit a lot of hurdles,especially because of the strong support for criminal
justice reform in the state legislature.Steve Gregory Kafi News Lawyers for former President
(32:44):
Trump had filed multiple motions in Floridaasking a judge to dismiss the criminal case
that charges Trump with illegally retaining classifieddocuments. The motion includes a claim that
presidential immunity protects Trump from prosecution.The Supreme Court has heard arguments on the
immunity claim. Trump is facing dozensof felony accounts in federal court in Florida.
(33:05):
You're listening to Wake Up Call ondemand from KFI Am six forty.
Here's what we're following in the KFItwenty four hour newsroom. One hundred nineteen
vote centers will open across La Countyfor early voting ahead of California's March fifth
primary, starting tomorrow. The votecenters will be opened daily from ten am
to seven pm. Six hundred morelocations open across the county on March second.
(33:25):
You can find the list of inperson voting locations at locator dot la,
vote dot gov. President Biden hasannounced more than five hundred new sanctions
on Russia, the aim to punishMoscow's war machine and those being held responsible
for the death of opposition leader AlexeyNavalny. A Girl Scout troop in Sacramento
has made radio contact with the InternationalSpace Station. Love this story. The
(33:50):
troop spent months making a ham radioand then yesterday made contact with astronaut Jasmine
Mogbelli on the space station. Theytalked for about ten minutes about NASA,
her mission, experiments she's working on, and even how she spends her free
time. The girls then got specialmerit badges, well deserved. We're just
minutes away from a handle on thenews this morning. The three to one
oh and the three two three aregetting some company. LA's getting a new
(34:14):
area code right now. Let's saygood morning to ABC's entertainment guru. Are
Jason Nathanson? Jason, how areyou a new area code? Yeah?
I'm still not about the Like,what four to two four is that one
of them? Do we have fourtwo four here? I've never dialed a
four two four. There's there's there'ssome others. My brother's mad about being
(34:36):
a three one. Oh, whythat's that's always been the best one.
I don't that's the one you want. When I grew up, there was
eight one eight, there's three twothree, and there's three one oh,
and that was it. No needall these others. Okay, Well,
so, uh, Jason, we'vegot not much going on but a couple
movies coming out. Yeah, it'sit's slow. It continues to be a
(34:58):
slow year at the box office.Is this normal, although for this time
of year it isn't. It isn't. Usually by now there's at least something
that's broken through, and we reallyhaven't had that. And we've had some
really bad movies a few weeks,so that'll change. Next week we're gonna
have Dune two, which was delayedfrom last November because of the strikes,
So that's going to kind of breakthings open, and people are excited and
(35:21):
waiting for that, and I'll havemy review of that next week. I
did see it this week, andI can tell you that it is very
good. Okay, So that's excitingat least. And that's not untill next
weekend, though, correct, Sowe have one more week in theaters right
now. One movie that's actually gettinga lot of really good reviews which I
haven't seen, is Ordinary Angels.This is Hillary Swank who stars in this
(35:44):
kind of faith based drama. It'sbased on a true story from the nineties.
She plays a woman, a strugglinghair hairdresser in a small town who
discovers she's been kind of looking forher purpose. There are some alcohol problems
and things like that. Yeah,and she meets a guy and who has
two daughters, the youngest daughters waitingfor a liver transplant, and she kind
(36:08):
of discovers, oh, maybe mypurpose is to help to help these people,
and then it kind of turns intowhat the community did and faith and
miracles and everyday Ordinary Angels. It'seighty percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from critics,
one hundred percent from people who sawit early, which I guess is
the last night's screenings. So thatis if you're, you know, looking
(36:30):
for something like that, the kindof heartwarming, inspiring story that's getting really
good reviews out there this weekend,So that's one possibility. Another that that
is in theaters this weekend is DriveawayDolls, which has a lot of good
people involved Ethan Cohen from the CoenBrothers. He co wrote this, he
(36:51):
directs it. You have Margaret Qualleyand Geraldine Vishnawathon starring as two women on
a kind of comedy caper road tripaction. This is an R rated film.
Is it a modern day Selma andLouise? Yeah, I mean not
exactly, but you know there's there'ssome of that in there. You got
Beanie Feldstein, you got Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal. So you got a
(37:12):
really great cast in there. Notgetting overwhelmingly great reviews, but it's getting
decent reviews, okay. And thenif we're gonna hunker down, sit on
the couch and want to stream something, yeah, well, I mean I
can tell you what's out, Icannot tell you not necessarily. That doesn't
mean it's good. So you haveand that's okay. We need your advice
(37:34):
anyway. Your girl scouts there whocontacted the Space station might be interested in
Constellation, which is about a astronautplayed by new Mira Pace who goes she
survives a disaster in space. She'son the ISS and some things go wrong
and she returns to Earth to discoverthat key pieces of her life seem to
be missed. This is it seemedto be what missing missing? Yeah,
(37:58):
okay, it's dark. There's alot of questions and mysteries going on here.
It was a little too dark anda little too weird for my taste.
Okay. Jonathan Banks from Breaking Badand Better Call So also co stars,
and you've got a bunch of otherpeople as well. Not really for
me these days, just really notinto the dark weird stuff. But you
(38:21):
know, maybe there might be anaudience. There's three episodes out now on
Apple TV plus. There's an eighttotal. It's one of those ones where
you're wondering, am I gonna getanswers by the end of this or am
I going to be left wondering witha lot of questions? Okay? All
right? And then the Sag Awardsare being awarded tomorrow night. Yes,
do they carry any real weight forthe big one? The answer, Oh
yeah, no, absolutely. TheGuild Awards are the ones that are the
(38:44):
most when it comes to the Oscars. They're the most predictive in terms of
who's going to get what. Becausethe Saga Awards actually has the biggest they
share the biggest voting body with theOscars. Because it's the Screen Actors Guild.
I think there's there's more actors inthe in the Academy Acting branch than
(39:04):
any other branch. So whoever winsat the Acting awards at the Screen Actors
Guild Awards usually ends up going onto win the Oscars. Okay, do
you have any predictions you want towatch that? You want to watch the
Producer's Guild Awards, right, youwant to watch the Writers Guild Awards,
to watch those if you're filling outyour poll and things like that. On
the movie side, Oppenheimer is,you know, probably going to do pretty
(39:27):
well. Do you think it'll getBest Cast? They don't have a best
movie category they have a best castthey don't and that that's the only category
that does not translate to Oscar successbecause that is different than the Best Picture
Oscar thing. So I think it'spossible. I think I think it could
do very well. It's interesting tosee it'll be on Netflix. Yes,
(39:50):
on Netflix, so live streaming awardshow on Netflix, the first time that
they've ever done that, So youknow, that's that's something new. But
most usually most people don't pay teninto the Sagwarts. They don't watch Oh
well, I'm going to be watching. Well you were not most people.
Oh well, there you have it. That is true. Okay, Well,
(40:12):
and with that, let's just endour little conversation. Jason. All
right, thank you so much,Jason, have a great weekend. All
right, talk to you soon.But let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twentyfour hour newsroom. I will be watching.
By the way, The La MetroBoard of Directors has moved forward with
a proposed gondola project to Dodger Stadium. Supporters of the proposed gondola connecting Union
Station at Dodger Stadium say it wouldtake some cars off the street and attract
(40:34):
development to the area. Metro's boardyesterday accepted the three hundred million dollar private
project's environmental impact report with conditions.Chinatown resident Phyllis Ling says she's not happy
an over priced steam park ride thatrips into our beloved park in our neighborhood.

as well as Russia's financial sector,defense industrial base, and sanctions of
vaders across multiple continents. The USis imposing export restrictions on nearly one hundred
(41:45):
entities that support Russia's military efforts andtarget energy revenues. Biden says the sanctions
will ensure Putin pays an even steeperprice for his aggression abroad and repression at
home. And a magician from NewOrleans says a Democratic consultant paid him one
hundred and fifty dollars to use AIto impersonate President Biden in a robo call.
(42:07):
That call last month told voters inNew Hampshire not to vote in the
state's presidential primary and just save itfor November. We leave your help and
electing Democrats up and down the ticket. Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans
in their quest to elect Donald Trumpagain. Paul Carpenter says he was hired
by a consultant who worked on ballotaccess for Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips.

Hey. You know, the SAGAwards are this weekend, and as being
an employee of KFI, we areunion members, so we get to screen
the movies. So I had tocatch up because the voting deadline is noon,
(00:44):
and I've seen most of them,but there was a couple I hadn't
seen. And the one I hadn'tseen, or one of the ones I
hadn't seen, was Poor Things,the Emma Stone movie. It was weird
and I remember people saying it's weird, and I'm not going to tell you
any about it because I had noidea what it was really about, and
(01:04):
uh, I guess that made itmore entertaining. She did. She did
an amazing job. But just knowthat there's a lot of sex and a
lot of nudity. So I'm gladI didn't go like to a movie theater
with a friend and see it becauseit would have been really uncomfortable. She's
amazing, but uh anyway, andthen I also watched The Color Purple because
(01:25):
it's nominated for a couple of things. And I have to tell you,
some of the songs were really good. Some of them kind of fell short.
And I think my expectations were toohigh because I loved the original movie
The Color Purple. I thought itwas just so so iconic and good.
So this one just kind of draggedon and I found myself up and about
(01:48):
doing stuff around the house and thengoing, oh, wait, I'm watching
a movie. So anyway, That'sthat's how I spent my day yesterday.

gondola to take fans from Union Stationover neighborhoods to Dodger Stadium are a step
closer to becoming reality. The LaMetro Board of Directors approved an environmental impact

will be impacted by the gondola.Google has put its Gemini AI image generator

News. Well, the weekend isupon us. What to do? What
(08:58):
to do? Well, that's wherewe call in the services of Nick Poliochini,
host of This Weekend with Nick podcast. Morning Nick, Good morning Amy,
Good to see you or hear you, good to see you too.
Okay, So this is what we'regonna do. We're gonna do this every
week now because there's so much todo around La and you always know some
(09:20):
of the really fun things to do. So we're going to take Nick's top
picks for the weekend. What yougot for us? So top three are
going to be one in La County, one Orange County, and one in
the Inland Empire starting count Ada forall weekend, cover the whole South Land.
The Firecracker Festival will be going downin Chinatown this weekend in La County,
celebrating the wrap up of Lunar NewYear. That's both on Saturday and
(09:43):
Sunday, and there's also kind ofa focus on health and that's always been
the case in Chinatown for the specialevent. The event happens for you both
on Saturday and Sunday, and ithas a five k and ten k run,
also a twenty and fifty mile bikeride. There's a kitty fun run
and you can even get your pupsin on it because they have a paw
or dog walk that happens through Chinatown, so you can get details about that.
(10:05):
This weekend with Nick dot Com overto Orange County and I'll actually be
hanging out with Darcy Staniforth, whois our own Dean Sharp, the House
Whisper's sister. She's hosting a specialghost tour at the Kellogg House at the
Heritage Museum in Orange County in SantaAna. So that's taking place actually tonight.
There's a special edition of it thatwill be happening next week for Leap
(10:26):
Day for Leapier this year, andthen there's many other weekends that are coming
up where you can check out somereally impressive history about Orange County and the
Kellogg family, who have a beautifulfacility in Santa Anna that's kind of a
heritage piece. And then the lastthing I got for you is in Herpa
Valley for the Inland Empire. Andthis is kind of wild to me because
(10:46):
Dickens doesn't necessarily say February, butthat was Carles Dickens, correct, exactly.
So the Dickens Fest is their thirtyfirst annual happening in Riverside County,
happens every year. It'll be bothSaturday and Sunday, and it's happening at
the Jensen Alvarado Historic Ranch and Museum. Again that's in Horupa Valley. What
do you do at the Dickens Theyhave all those people, so think about
(11:09):
like Christmas. If you ever seelike the Carollers that are all decked out
in their finery, it's the samething, but they're leaning more into like
Oliver Twist and all the other differentCharles Dickens books and really having characters from
them that you're able to interact withalso learn history of the time and era
of Charles Dickens in Europe. Soit's really kind of a fun thing.
But you wouldn't think about heading tothe Inland Empire for something like that,
(11:31):
so you know, it's kind ofa fun different way. And with it
being a little bit chilly this weekendand maybe even a little bit of drizzle
coming back in on Sunday, itwill be, you know, a good
opportunity for you to kind of embracethe days gone by. Okay, and
you mentioned the five and ten krun at the Firecracker Festival. So I'm
going to take this time to tellyou guys that Nick and I are doing
(11:52):
something that we've never done before.Indeed. Yeah, so you know that
we're both big Disney fans, andso Nick, he was texting me a
couple of weeks ago and he's like, Hey, want to do the fun
Run with for Disney because the Disneyhas like these themed runs and they're doing
one for Halloween time or ahead ofHalloween time. So Nick and I both
(12:15):
time starts out in August this year, so yeah, oh yeah, Okay,
for Disney, it's not yeah,so for the rest of the world
is yeah, So in September,I think it's on the seventh, Nick
and I are both doing a tenk and neither one of us run,
No, but would need to lookreally cute in our costumes. Yeah.
And here's what, because it's nota timed event, and here's how we've
justified doing it. It's that whenwe go to the park. If you
(12:37):
go to Disneyland and you keep trackof it on your watch or you have
a fitbit, you walk six,seven, eight, miles in a day,
so we're just going to compress thatand walk the six point two miles
in a couple hours. Yeah,and it'll be fun, I know how
Disney characters along for the ride withus and being able to enjoy the you
know, kind of opening weekend ofHalloween time at the Disneyland resort. So
(12:58):
that'll be a great opportunity and itgives us something to look forward to and
work on to improve our health aswell through two twenty four to get to
that. So we should probably starttraining now because again I don't run period,
right, I mean unless I'm likerunning across the street, so I
don't get hit by a truck orsomething. But that's it, okay.
So those are Nick's top picks forthe weekend. And if you want to
(13:20):
check out other really cool fun stuffto do because there is so much going
on around southern California. Where dowe find you, Nick? You can
find me on Instagram, Nick pollio'keeinion This Weekend with Nick and also you

well for not a person but amachine. And yes, it did
touchdown yesterday. We assume there wasa long delay between the moment that we
assumed that the lander touchdown on thelunar surface and some kind of confirmation coming
from Intuitive Machines, the company thatis behind this whole project right now.
(15:16):
The company said that it was receivinga week's signal later on, and that
was confirmation enough that the thing hadactually settled onto the surface. But there
was kind of touch and go therefor a while. I mean, in
fact, they had to do anextra loop around the Moon to solve a
technical glitch related to a navigation system. They weren't sure that they could find
(15:37):
an appropriate spot for the thing toland. It's all being done autonomously.
It's not like back in the dayswhen you had a couple of guys sitting
in this lunar lander, you know, physically guiding the thing to a soft
touchdown. The machine does it byitself and we wait then for confirmation messages
from the machine that the job wasdone. Well, they got it done.
(15:58):
So what's this going to what's itgoing to do for the next week
or so. Well, it's goingto send back data. That's the big
thing here about what it's discovering thereon the Moon. A big part of
this project is a NASA experiment.They're trying to find any evidence that there's
water somewhere on the Moon or somekind of water source, right, frozen
water, or that some evidence thatwater was there. Because the Artemis project
(16:23):
that NASA has on the books isgoing to send people to the Moon at
some point in the next few years, probably before the end of the decade,
I mean, and then on tomorrow'sWell, if we have water already
on the Moon, that means thatwe don't have to take water with us
to sustain the astronauts. Also,what's water, it's hydrogen, it's oxygen,
oxygen. You can use those elementsto create fuel jet fuel. So
(16:47):
we'll be making our own jet fuelon the Moon and then using that to
launch off to Mars and beyond,plus sustaining the lives of our astronauts sitting
there on the Moon. And Iwould think that that it would be kind
of imperative that they had water becausewater weighs a whole lot and we have
learned from our yours in my conversationsand talking to Neil deGrasse Tyson, like
(17:10):
every ounce counts when you're trying toget something off of Earth and into space.
Sure, I mean, that's whythis lunar lander was only about twelve
feet tall something like that. It'sa it's a fairly it's about the size
of a phone booth. And you'reright, every inch of it is packed
with stuff because it's expensive to dothat, and you know, so they
try to put in as much asthey can and make it as light weight
(17:33):
as possible. But you're right.Water weighs I think eight pounds a gallon,
and that's that's and to try tosustain people who need about a gallon
a day, it's almost impossible totake that much with you. So this
certainly makes it more convenient, maybeeven feasible to do. He doesn't,
doesn't Japan or somebody have another lotlander on the moon. Well, they
(17:55):
remember that last month Japan launched oneand put it down on the Moon,
but it was upside down, soit was a cent worthless. Then the
Peregrine lander that was supposed to landthe US project last month, you know,
it to malfunction then never made itto the moon. It came oh,
that's right, down right, becauseit had problems like two hours in
and they went, yeah, we'renot making it to the moon this month.
(18:15):
All right, Is there anybody elsethere? That's it for now?
No? Nobody else. India hasprojects going in direction too, but you
know, the the US Project rightnow is the one active, one up
and running. Okay, And thenlet's search gears and talk to something that
affected us down here on Earth.And that was AT and T had an
(18:37):
outage about seventy thousand plus people affectedacross the US. Yeah, yeah,
and that's enough to raise concerns thatit was some kind of cyber attack or
some kind of hacking from the outside. Well at least Cord and T and
T. The AT and T isbased here in Dallas, and they were
putting out notes yesterday about this thiswidespread outage, you know, And their
final determination was that it was asoftware problem, in the same way Amy
(19:02):
that you sometimes go to bed andyour phone says I needed a software updates,
So just plug me in, leaveme alone. You'll get up in
the morning, you'll have the newiOS installed. Great, well, that's
what AT and T was trying todo across its whole system. It does
that occasionally. It's a normal kindof thing. But if there is an
issue and there was yesterday with eitherthe software or with the person in charge
(19:22):
of the software, or combination ofthe two, there is a glitch and
people weren't able to use their cellservice. They could get onto Wi Fi.
But even as early as five o'clockyesterday morning Eastern time, the US
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency CISA wasreporting that it had no indication that this
was a hack attack, that itwas some kind of glitch that was causing
(19:45):
this internally at AT and T.But still, I mean, the what
ifs are huge, and I'm sureHANDLE will be taking a look at that
today. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. And then the other
thing I think that we need tokeep in mind is to keep things in
perspective. It was seventy five thousandphones affected across the whole US, and
AT and T has two hundred andforty million customers. Yes, what's more
(20:11):
those there was an outage in ATand T. I think it was AT
and T in Arkansas earlier in theweek and two hundred thousand people were affected
there and we never heard right there. Yeah, it was because it was
Arkansas, because it was isolated,probably both of those things. And again
it was kind of a software issuetoo. But you know, this was
You're right, it was widespread,It involved a lot of people in the
(20:33):
scope of things. It didn't catchin the end. Okay, so technical
trouble, but the FBI and HomelandSecurity said we're going to be watching just
in case. Sure, yeah,they're watching it. But at this point,
the indication is that it was Therewas nothing sinister about this, but
you know, people need to beon guard. I think, is it
(20:55):
time to order another landline for yourhouse when I don't know if they could
even install on anymore. Well,here's the thing in California. It's not
happening in Houston, I don't think, or in Texas where you are.
But they're trying to get out ofrequiring landlines be provided like AT and T
doesn't want to provide landlines anymore.So that's going to be probably a fight
after this. Yeah, well,I think you're right, because I mean
(21:19):
they were telling San Francisco I thinkwas telling people, you know, the
Emergency Opposition Center there saying, look, if you can't get a nine to
one one call to us, finda landline. If you can't get through
to us on your cell phone,we're on Earth. Are you going to
find a landline? I don't know. I don't even have one at my
house. All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for your time
and information. Talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of the
(21:40):
stories coming out of the KFI twentyfour hour newsroom. A man on a
metro bus who was pepper sprayed byanother passenger during an argument in LA's Mid
City area has died. Police werecalled to Western and Olympic last night about
an assault. They were told twomen had been involved in an argument and
the guy with the pepper spray tookoff. No description of the van was
provided. A registered sex offender accusedof indecent exposure at WII Spa in Koreatown
(22:06):
maybe facing a trial. The transwoman allegedly went into the women's side of
the spa, exposing her erect penisto other women, including a minor.
This woman, who goes by theInstagram named Kubana Angel, posted a video
from twenty twenty one of her confrontingspa staff who refused to kick the woman
out, and you got a manwith his penis count back. He's a
woman. He ain't no woman.Yeah, give her her money back.
(22:27):
The trans woman has been a registeredsex offender since two thousand and six and
was in court yesterday for a jurytrial hearing. She's also facing five separate
felonies for indecent exposure at a swimmingcenter in twenty eighteen, Chris Sadler Ka
FI News, a federal grand juryis indicted a man accused of attacking another
passenger on a flight from Seattle toLas Vegas. The FBI says Julio Lopez
(22:48):
was acting fidgety last month before hepunched a guy sitting across from him and
stabbed the man with pens. Lopezreportedly told agents he had never seen the
guy before but planned to kill him. He also claimed he thought the mafia
was chasing him. Lopez was restrainedduring the flight and arrested once it landed.
When we come back, if you'retrying to keep up with the Joneses,
Dean Sharp has the hottest housing trendsfor twenty twenty four that's next.
(23:12):
You're listening to wake Up Call ondemand from KFI AM six forty. AT
and T says a cell phone outagethat affected more than seventy thousand phones across
the US is done with. ATand T says it was a technical issue,
but the Department of Homeland Security andthe FBI say they're looking into the
outage to make sure it wasn't partof a cyber attack. The US has
(23:33):
announced more than five hundred new sanctionson Russia. It's a move to punish
Moscow's war machine and those being heldresponsible for the death of opposition leader Alexey
Navalny. A. Massive landslides expectedto keep Highway one fifty just north of
Santa Paula closed for several weeks.Cal Tran says the mud has to dry
(23:56):
out before crews can even start clearingit. Trying to get between OHI and
Santa Paula being advised to use Highwaysthirty three, one oh one or one
twenty six instead. At six ohfive, it's handle on the news that
crime spree around La County that lefta total of six people dead. A
seventeen year old has been arrested inconnection with that at five point fifty we're
(24:19):
gonna be talking with ABC's Jason Nathanson. We'll be going to the desert and
out of this world. Right now, let's say good morning too the house
Whisper and the host of Home onKFI. It's Dean Sharp. So Dean
trends aren't only in fashion, they'realso in housing. So let's talk about
what's hot and what's not this year. Well, I love, you know,
(24:41):
late February, right before I headoff to the International Builders Show,
kind of looking back at the earlyJanuary articles that come out, Like every
magazine, even you know, USWorld US News and World Report likes to
release these articles about like what's goingto be the building trend for twenty twenty
(25:03):
four, And I love looking backthinking, yeah, maybe hit or miss.
This actually is an article based onan article from a US News and
World Report that I was looking atand they've got a few here, and
I thought it would be interesting tokind of take a look at it.
The first one is absolutely one thatis here and growing, and it's a
(25:26):
growing biophilic design. Ye like thatword biophilic. Biophilia. Biophilia is the
is the love of nature. It'snot just that though, it's actually a
theory about human beings and our needto interact with nature. And so in
the last I'm going to say fifteenyears or so, biophilic design is a
(25:51):
whole category of architectural design now inwhich we are very intentionally focused on the
idea of bringing out doors, inbringing indoors out and just kind of sort
of thinning the veil between the structuresthat we live in and the natural world
around us, not so that weget cold or too hot, but so
that we're really not isolating ourselves fromnature. And as a trend, I
(26:14):
would say it's way more than atrend. It is caught on, and
it is simply the new standard thatmost really good designers are working towards,
and that we've honestly been encouraging ourclients to work towards for a long time.
More windows, more open doors,more concentrating on vistas, more plant
material inside your house. Just it'sall good things there. You know,
(26:37):
I am a nature boy, andthere has always been this tendency of mind
to want to kind of diffuse themiddle ground between being inside and outside with
your house. Yeah, And inthe article that you shared with us that
highlights the biophilic design. There's areally cool picture and I'm like, i'd
(27:00):
all those plants immediately. But it'slike green plants cascading over like a planter
box that's above the tub in thebathroom, and it just looks so cool,
doesn't it look cool? And thosehappen to be air ferns, and
so they literally and here's the thing, you wouldn't kill them because if they
have enough light and they're getting enoughlight in that particular room, those plants
(27:22):
there actually just thrive and grow onthe moisture of a high humid environment.
So I guess the fact that it'sthe bathroom. Yeah, they're gonna do
great. They're literally just gonna eatit all up. And they do great
and you barely have to give themany attention. So yeah, they're all
sorts of these new things. Sobiophilic design, that's a thing. Okay,
(27:45):
sure, cool. I just havea friend who just redid their whole
first floor and it's all in graytowns. Yeah yeah, and you know
what that's problematic? Now? Wellno, and see, this is the
thing that I really hate about thesearticles and the way that the design industry
presents itself, as if, asif we can change directions as quickly as
(28:08):
fashion. You know, it's notjust like you know, what plaids are
out people this year. That's notgoing to be. It's not the case.
Goodbye grays. That's what the articleis saying. Nobody's doing grays anymore.
That's not true. We've always donegrays. Grays have really replaced earth
tones for a good while. Sothere was a trend, for sure.
(28:29):
There was a fad even let's goso far, and I use the word
fad as you know, an extremeoverreaction to like earth tones and things like
that. The fad part of grayis over. But gray is here to
stay. It really is, becauseit's such a useful tone in a home.
So everybody who just remodeled their placeand said, I really like gray,
(28:55):
why does this article say my houseis now out of date. We
just finished three months ago. Youdon't have to worry. You don't have
to worry. So it's just anoverreaction. But yeah, the fad of
everything must be gray. We're wellpast that now. But that doesn't mean
that gray isn't the right color foryour place. That's something that you love,
you know, because I didn't wantto break the news to her that
she was outdated. Yeah, yeah, that's just a thing. Okay,
(29:19):
what is a fad? Y glouted cabinets? What's that louted cabinets is
well, this is a cabinet doorthat has these kind of vertical columns on
it. Okay, that is,without question a fad. So don't feel
like you got to go out andget yourself fluted cabinet doors because if you
don't like it, let it be. Don't touch it, because next year,
(29:44):
I guarantee you we're going to seean article saying, yeah, fluted
cabinets are done. That's over.So you know, that's the kind of
stuff. We just don't want tooverreact to some of these predictions. Okay,
what about the one about making roomfor the in laws? Absolutely,
there is no question. You know, ADUs, the accessory dwelling units you
(30:04):
call them what you will, casitas, guest rooms, mother in law suites,
that extra space in the house,especially in the state of California,
because now ADUs are so easy toadd to your home. Is this an
extra structure or is it you're addinghave to be? You can be,
You can add on to the houseOkay, you can convert your garage into
(30:27):
an adu. Now, in otherwords, most cities before this said,
listen, no, you can't takethe garage because you are required to have
parking. But the state of Californiasaid no, no, you can park
outside. So you can use thegarage. You can add on to the
house, or you can build aseparate structure somewhere on your property if you
have room for that. The pointis housing in California. The codes have
(30:49):
changed and they're super encouraging this,and it's just I think, I think
it is the trend of our culture. We've got aging parents to take care
of that we don't want to putand homes. We've got boomeranging children coming
back from college who are waiting fortheir one big job opening to come about.
All of these things are pointing ustowards the idea of having extra communal
(31:14):
space for extended family and friends.Okay, and just real quick, because
we've got about twenty seconds left.But bringing inside outside is a thing,
or bringing outside inside, Oh,for sure, it is a huge thing.
It's a huge thing. Nobody youand I kind of talked about it
last week about Wayfarer's chapel right,I mean a perfect example of bringing outside
(31:36):
in a chapel made of glass,a very very small space, but you
can see right through it to theoutside. That's why people love that place.
Okay. So like small screened inpatios, small backyard patios, front
porches, those things are all trendingright now, all in Okay. Dean
Sharp the host of home right hereon KFI from six to eight am on
Saturday and nine to noon on Sunday, and can't wait to hear once you
(32:00):
check in after the International Builders Show. Yeah, we'll have lots of fun
to talk about. Thanks Amy,Thankstein. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFItwenty four our news room of State Assembly
bill being introduced would make it easierto remove potential jurors with a bias against
police if it were to become law. The legislation would overturn Governor Newsom's twenty
twenty policy, which says jurors couldnot be the subject of peremptory challenge on
(32:23):
the basis of their negative views ofpolice. Riverside. Republican Bill as Sale
says his bill would allow attorneys toask for the dismissal of a potential juror
if it was determined that person wasanti cop law experts have said the bill
would hit a lot of hurdles,especially because of the strong support for criminal
justice reform in the state legislature.Steve Gregory Kafi News Lawyers for former President
(32:44):
Trump had filed multiple motions in Floridaasking a judge to dismiss the criminal case
that charges Trump with illegally retaining classifieddocuments. The motion includes a claim that
presidential immunity protects Trump from prosecution.The Supreme Court has heard arguments on the
immunity claim. Trump is facing dozensof felony accounts in federal court in Florida.
(33:05):
You're listening to Wake Up Call ondemand from KFI Am six forty.
Here's what we're following in the KFItwenty four hour newsroom. One hundred nineteen
vote centers will open across La Countyfor early voting ahead of California's March fifth
primary, starting tomorrow. The votecenters will be opened daily from ten am
to seven pm. Six hundred morelocations open across the county on March second.
(33:25):
You can find the list of inperson voting locations at locator dot la,
vote dot gov. President Biden hasannounced more than five hundred new sanctions
on Russia, the aim to punishMoscow's war machine and those being held responsible
for the death of opposition leader AlexeyNavalny. A Girl Scout troop in Sacramento
has made radio contact with the InternationalSpace Station. Love this story. The
(33:50):
troop spent months making a ham radioand then yesterday made contact with astronaut Jasmine
Mogbelli on the space station. Theytalked for about ten minutes about NASA,
her mission, experiments she's working on, and even how she spends her free
time. The girls then got specialmerit badges, well deserved. We're just
minutes away from a handle on thenews this morning. The three to one
oh and the three two three aregetting some company. LA's getting a new
(34:14):
area code right now. Let's saygood morning to ABC's entertainment guru. Are
Jason Nathanson? Jason, how areyou a new area code? Yeah?
I'm still not about the Like,what four to two four is that one
of them? Do we have fourtwo four here? I've never dialed a
four two four. There's there's there'ssome others. My brother's mad about being
(34:36):
a three one. Oh, whythat's that's always been the best one.
I don't that's the one you want. When I grew up, there was
eight one eight, there's three twothree, and there's three one oh,
and that was it. No needall these others. Okay, Well,
so, uh, Jason, we'vegot not much going on but a couple
movies coming out. Yeah, it'sit's slow. It continues to be a
(34:58):
slow year at the box office.Is this normal, although for this time
of year it isn't. It isn't. Usually by now there's at least something
that's broken through, and we reallyhaven't had that. And we've had some
really bad movies a few weeks,so that'll change. Next week we're gonna
have Dune two, which was delayedfrom last November because of the strikes,
So that's going to kind of breakthings open, and people are excited and
(35:21):
waiting for that, and I'll havemy review of that next week. I
did see it this week, andI can tell you that it is very
good. Okay, So that's excitingat least. And that's not untill next
weekend, though, correct, Sowe have one more week in theaters right
now. One movie that's actually gettinga lot of really good reviews which I
haven't seen, is Ordinary Angels.This is Hillary Swank who stars in this
(35:44):
kind of faith based drama. It'sbased on a true story from the nineties.
She plays a woman, a strugglinghair hairdresser in a small town who
discovers she's been kind of looking forher purpose. There are some alcohol problems
and things like that. Yeah,and she meets a guy and who has
two daughters, the youngest daughters waitingfor a liver transplant, and she kind
(36:08):
of discovers, oh, maybe mypurpose is to help to help these people,
and then it kind of turns intowhat the community did and faith and
miracles and everyday Ordinary Angels. It'seighty percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from critics,
one hundred percent from people who sawit early, which I guess is
the last night's screenings. So thatis if you're, you know, looking
(36:30):
for something like that, the kindof heartwarming, inspiring story that's getting really
good reviews out there this weekend,So that's one possibility. Another that that
is in theaters this weekend is DriveawayDolls, which has a lot of good
people involved Ethan Cohen from the CoenBrothers. He co wrote this, he
(36:51):
directs it. You have Margaret Qualleyand Geraldine Vishnawathon starring as two women on
a kind of comedy caper road tripaction. This is an R rated film.
Is it a modern day Selma andLouise? Yeah, I mean not
exactly, but you know there's there'ssome of that in there. You got
Beanie Feldstein, you got Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal. So you got a
(37:12):
really great cast in there. Notgetting overwhelmingly great reviews, but it's getting
decent reviews, okay. And thenif we're gonna hunker down, sit on
the couch and want to stream something, yeah, well, I mean I
can tell you what's out, Icannot tell you not necessarily. That doesn't
mean it's good. So you haveand that's okay. We need your advice
(37:34):
anyway. Your girl scouts there whocontacted the Space station might be interested in
Constellation, which is about a astronautplayed by new Mira Pace who goes she
survives a disaster in space. She'son the ISS and some things go wrong
and she returns to Earth to discoverthat key pieces of her life seem to
be missed. This is it seemedto be what missing missing? Yeah,
(37:58):
okay, it's dark. There's alot of questions and mysteries going on here.
It was a little too dark anda little too weird for my taste.
Okay. Jonathan Banks from Breaking Badand Better Call So also co stars,
and you've got a bunch of otherpeople as well. Not really for
me these days, just really notinto the dark weird stuff. But you
(38:21):
know, maybe there might be anaudience. There's three episodes out now on
Apple TV plus. There's an eighttotal. It's one of those ones where
you're wondering, am I gonna getanswers by the end of this or am
I going to be left wondering witha lot of questions? Okay? All
right? And then the Sag Awardsare being awarded tomorrow night. Yes,
do they carry any real weight forthe big one? The answer, Oh
yeah, no, absolutely. TheGuild Awards are the ones that are the
(38:44):
most when it comes to the Oscars. They're the most predictive in terms of
who's going to get what. Becausethe Saga Awards actually has the biggest they
share the biggest voting body with theOscars. Because it's the Screen Actors Guild.
I think there's there's more actors inthe in the Academy Acting branch than
(39:04):
any other branch. So whoever winsat the Acting awards at the Screen Actors
Guild Awards usually ends up going onto win the Oscars. Okay, do
you have any predictions you want towatch that? You want to watch the
Producer's Guild Awards, right, youwant to watch the Writers Guild Awards,
to watch those if you're filling outyour poll and things like that. On
the movie side, Oppenheimer is,you know, probably going to do pretty
(39:27):
well. Do you think it'll getBest Cast? They don't have a best
movie category they have a best castthey don't and that that's the only category
that does not translate to Oscar successbecause that is different than the Best Picture
Oscar thing. So I think it'spossible. I think I think it could
do very well. It's interesting tosee it'll be on Netflix. Yes,
(39:50):
on Netflix, so live streaming awardshow on Netflix, the first time that
they've ever done that, So youknow, that's that's something new. But
most usually most people don't pay teninto the Sagwarts. They don't watch Oh
well, I'm going to be watching. Well you were not most people.
Oh well, there you have it. That is true. Okay, Well,
(40:12):
and with that, let's just endour little conversation. Jason. All
right, thank you so much,Jason, have a great weekend. All
right, talk to you soon.But let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twentyfour hour newsroom. I will be watching.
By the way, The La MetroBoard of Directors has moved forward with
a proposed gondola project to Dodger Stadium. Supporters of the proposed gondola connecting Union
Station at Dodger Stadium say it wouldtake some cars off the street and attract
(40:34):
development to the area. Metro's boardyesterday accepted the three hundred million dollar private
project's environmental impact report with conditions.Chinatown resident Phyllis Ling says she's not happy
an over priced steam park ride thatrips into our beloved park in our neighborhood.
Don Luis Camacho says the project wouldbe good for his family's restaurant,
and we think it would help drawnew guests to Albera Street. The board's
conditions include job development and beautification initiatives. Michael Monks KFI News. Health Ministry
(41:00):
in Gaza says more than one hundredPalestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes in
the past twenty four hours. Hamassays its top political leader has held talks
with Egyptian officials about a possible ceasefire and an exchange of hostages. About
two hundred and fifty people were takenwhen Hamas attacked Israel in October. About
one hundred are still thought to bealive. The US has imposed more than
(41:22):
five hundred new sanctions on Russia.ABC's Karen Travers says President Biden calls them
punishment for Russia's war against Ukraine andthe death of Putin critic Alexey Navalney.
The President says in a statement thesanctions will target individuals connected to Navalney's imprisonment,
as well as Russia's financial sector,defense industrial base, and sanctions of
vaders across multiple continents. The USis imposing export restrictions on nearly one hundred
(41:45):
entities that support Russia's military efforts andtarget energy revenues. Biden says the sanctions
will ensure Putin pays an even steeperprice for his aggression abroad and repression at
home. And a magician from NewOrleans says a Democratic consultant paid him one
hundred and fifty dollars to use AIto impersonate President Biden in a robo call.
(42:07):
That call last month told voters inNew Hampshire not to vote in the
state's presidential primary and just save itfor November. We leave your help and
electing Democrats up and down the ticket. Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans
in their quest to elect Donald Trumpagain. Paul Carpenter says he was hired
by a consultant who worked on ballotaccess for Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips.
(42:31):
Carpenter says he didn't know how therecording was going to be distributed and that
he regrets that he was involved.You've been listening to Wake Up Call with
