The La County Department of Public Health says there's 8 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.320 been seventy three reported outbreaks of COVID in the workplace in August. That's almost 9 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.560 three times higher than in July. There's been nearly a fifty percent an increase 10 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.719 in outbreaks at schools in the last week. Actor Danny Masterson has been sentenced 11 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:11.359 to thirty years to life in prison for raping two women at his home in 12 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.560 the Hollywood Hills two decades ago. He says he plans to appeal. A 13 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.480 special grand jury report related to former President Trump's Georgia election interference case is due 14 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.640 to be released this morning. It's expected to shed some more light on the 15 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.079 investigation into alleged efforts by Trump and eighteen others to overturn the state's twenty twenty 16 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.319 election results. Now, let's get to some of the things coming out of 17 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.079 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man has been fatally stabbed during an 18 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.840 argument aboard a Metro B Line train formerly the Red Line in downtown LA. 19 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.079 Police found the man yesterday afternoon on a platform at the Pershing Square station. 20 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.159 He had been stabbed in the chest.

LA County Deputy da Reinhold Mueller says he thinks 26 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.800 calling in an expert on the Church of Scientology helped secure the conviction. They 27 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.879 kind of still lived under those rules and guidelines that the church imposed, and 28 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.479 I think that contributed in large part two a lot of their actions, Mueller 29 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:37.400 said. The women claimed they waited years to come forward because they were forbidden 30 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.520 by the church to report a fellow member to police.

Officers made contact with the man and 36 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.240 woman on South Hoover Street, just north of MLK Junior Boulevard, and after 37 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.879 a brief conversation, officers determined a physical fight happened.

OCDA spokeswoman Kimberly Eds says prosecutors charged the man 43 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.400 with a felony, and we're pushing for jail time. Orange County District Attorney's 44 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.240 office takes the abuse of animals very, very seriously. We have a dedicated 45 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.759 prosecutor who just handles these cases alone. Ed says. The judge reduced the 46 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.960 man's charges to a misdemeanor Wednesday, after considering his lack of criminal record. 47 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.000 The judge gave the man one year of probation and banned him from owning pets 48 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:03.479 again.

Time to say good morning to ABC's Alex Stone. 62 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.000 Alex, it's been a month since wildfire tour through and destroyed Lahinah. You've 63 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.720 been on the ground there. Can you tell us what the current situation is? 64 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.639 Hey Amy, good morning. Yeah, Mawi is It's in a transition 65 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:25.720 right now. The search for bodies is done. We know one hundred and 66 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.720 fifteen people at least who were killed, but there are still a ton who 67 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.360 were on the missing list. They had brought the number down, it's gone 68 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.879 back up with more names that have been added to it. The EPA is 69 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.360 clearing hazardous chemicals out right now. They've been doing that for about a week 70 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.959 and a half before residents are going to be allowed back in. The People 71 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.519 who lived in Lahinah still have not been able to go in. Media have 72 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.319 not except for when the President was in town a couple of weeks ago, 73 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.199 really been able to go in and document in the hardest hit areas what is 74 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.959 going on. So there is this push among residents to say, let us 75 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.519 go, let us sift through everything. But they also understand what's going on, 76 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.959 so there is progress. It's still very much frozen in time in Lahinah, 77 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.000 and the new head of emergency Management says they hope to get residents back 78 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.399 in soon. He says this and with the update, this one month update 79 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.920 that they're giving residence again. Is our intent and goal to support residents and 80 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:27.120 businesses returning seeing their properties, visiting their properties for various purposes, obviously to 81 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.920 collect any remaining personal effects. And in the meantime, twenty nine hotels are 82 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:36.480 still housing victims, eleven hundred airbnbs that cannot last forever, so the governor 83 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:43.000 is now talking about long term moving people into long term rentals. The government 84 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.480 will pay for at least eighteen months of housing for those who lost their homes 85 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.680 because they also many of them lost their businesses and their jobs, and the 86 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.680 Governor's saying they don't want all those people and families to become homeless. So 87 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.399 they're gonna work on that. So there's been a lot of progress, but 88 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.199 at the same time, a month into it, people have not been allowed 89 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.600 back in. They have not been allowed to go and you know, look 90 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:09.600 for wedding rings and anything that may have survived in it. They don't have 91 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:14.439 a long term housing plan yet. They're vehicles since their cars burned up, 92 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:15.959 and how they're going to do that. So a lot they've still got to 93 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.079 do. Where are the people of Lahina staying? Are they in their resorts? 94 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.439 Yeah, it's some of them that the airbnbs are all around the island 95 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.720 wherever they could get Airbnb's that they were available, but it is it's kantapally 96 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.959 essentially where they've put everybody. You know, there's a big West in there 97 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.199 and a Sheridan and the Hyatt, but they've got to move them out. 98 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:40.600 The island is saying tourists please come back. Alaska Airlines from lax is offering 99 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:45.079 eighty nine bucks to go to Maui that they want people to get back in 100 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.680 there now. Tours from on Maui has always been controversial. There's always been 101 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:57.120 a small loud group that has fought it and been angry about it. But 102 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.399 the reality is that the economy of ma aUI as it currently is is based 103 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.240 on visitors coming to the island, and so all of the scuba companies and 104 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.920 the dive boats that go out snorkeling, the other resorts in way Leia and 105 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.600 Keihy and everywhere else, they're badly hurting right now. And they're saying, 106 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.639 if that economy, especially after the pandemic, everything was so locked down, 107 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.079 if they're going to survive, they need people to come back. They're saying, 108 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.279 that's how you support Maui right now. They don't need clothes, they 109 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.120 don't need food. They need people to come and spend their money at the 110 00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:37.440 restaurants and doing you know, tourist things that you would do. And so 111 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.279 they need to get Kannapoly up and running again. In fact, I just 112 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.759 saw we got I got a note a moment ago that Leilani is on the 113 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.440 beach, which is a real popular restaurant in Whaler's Village in Kannapoly that is 114 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.080 open again, which that is a big sign because Whaler's Village, the big 115 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.159 mall in Kannapoly, has been shut down and had guards all around it. 116 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.799 So they're opening up again beginning that process of they've got to get the evacuees 117 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.919 out of those hotels, put them in long term housing. They hope to 118 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.639 do that over the next couple of weeks and then get it open again. 119 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.840 And you said that the mall has reopened. It wasn't damaged or anything else. 120 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.159 It was not damaged at all. Yeah. No, no, at 121 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.879 least we know that the one restaurant is open. There are others like Monkey 122 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.600 Pod, which is another real popular restaurant, they are not open yet, 123 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.320 but the fact that restaurants are beginning to open. I don't know to the 124 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.360 extent that the Whalers Village is open, but at least for the one restaurant, 125 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.639 you can get to it. As of a couple of weeks ago, 126 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.320 as I was doing interviews in Kannapoly the resorts, and I mean people when 127 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.159 they go to Maui, as a lot of people have, you go to 128 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.159 Kannapoly typically either that or why Lea, but Canna Poly is the big one, 129 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.519 and it looked it reminded me a lot of as we covered Hurricane Katrina 130 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.919 in New Orleans. To see all the hotels surrounded by armed guards. They 131 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.279 had checkpoints set up because they didn't want looting. They didn't have any in 132 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.159 the big hotel Tells, but they were protecting female workers and others who were 133 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.799 there, but mainly they didn't want looting going in there. So they had 134 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.879 checkpoints and armed guards around Whalers Village, around the west end, around the 135 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.720 Hyatt. I mean, all of them were cordoned off. And so hopefully 136 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.399 some of that will be coming down. And were that some of the businesses 137 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.360 are reopening in Whaler's Village. That's a sign that they're beginning to move forward. 138 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.960 Yeah, And I'm wondering. You said that the residents haven't been able 139 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.039 to go back into Lahinah yet as they're continuing to do the cleanup and all 140 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.240 of that, and that's going to be really hard for them. And this 141 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.600 is a little bit morbid, But I'm wondering if once they do kind of 142 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.919 the EPA gets out of there and the residents have been allowed to go back, 143 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.159 if they're going to let people go through Lahinah. And the reason I'm 144 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:50.399 wondering is because it's when there were the big fires up in southern Oregon and 145 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:56.840 they literally destroyed two small towns Talent and Phoenix just ripped through their downtown area 146 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.039 and I lived there. My mom is still up there, and I got 147 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:07.480 to drive through, and it's sad and horrific, but it's also really fascinating 148 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.399 to see, and I'm glad that I got to see it. I'm wondering 149 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.519 if they're going to allow people back in there. Yeah, and it's a 150 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.200 repeated thing. You think Paradise spreading from the car CRR car fire Santa Rosa, 151 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:26.360 after the Tubs fire, where these huge areas are wiped out, I 152 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:33.279 would suspect AOI is not going to allow people who are not residents in there 153 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.240 for a very long time until they've cleared a lot of it out. I 154 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.919 know it's gonna be at least a while because they said the Army Corps engineers 155 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.440 has to go in and remove walls that are no longer safe, you know, 156 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.639 ones that didn't crumble but are up and have no support or chimneys, 157 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.679 that sort of thing. So they've got to do all that with the with 158 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:54.039 the residents, because the residents are worried about outsiders in the federal government coming 159 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.240 in with a long history going back many many decades, and the essential overthrow 160 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.200 of the you know, Hawaiian Kingdom and all of that. So there's a 161 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.159 lot of mistrust of those coming in from the continental US and what the federal 162 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.320 government will do. So they're being told residents will be there for whatever the 163 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.600 Army Corps engineers does, So that's going to be first. Right now, 164 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.240 you can go around Lahinah. There's a bypass right there, see a little 165 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.960 bit of it, but they've put up what they call a dust screen, 166 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.559 which is, you know, just a chain link fence with solid like cloth 167 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.799 over it so you can't see in the government says that's to prevent ash from 168 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.559 flying around. There's a real belief that that's to make it so nobody can 169 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.080 see what's going on in there and not make it you know, looky lose 170 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.679 and questions about everything people are seeing, and so they have blocked off any 171 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.759 view of it. You know a lot of these things that I think in 172 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:50.000 California people would be quite angry about not being able to see, not having 173 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.440 access, not allowing the media in. But in Hawaii it's very different, 174 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.639 and so I don't think the public will be allowed in. They've got the 175 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.879 highway, the bypasses it you can get to Kanapala, you can get to 176 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.879 other areas and endo they're probably not going to allow anybody in for a long 177 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.279 time, at least who's not a resident. Okay, And before I let 178 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:11.200 you go, ABC News is doing a project called Maui Strong eight o eight. 179 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.759 Yeah, So this is an initiative that we're doing, like we did 180 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.120 in Vivaldi, for an entire year, telling the stories of Maui. Eight 181 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.759 O eight is the area code of Maui, but it's also the date of 182 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.840 the wildfire August eighth, So Maui Strong eight o eight. That we are, 183 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.480 We've got resources that have not left since the wildfires, more that will 184 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.639 be cycling in and out, and we'll all be going from time to time. 185 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.399 So this is about continuing to put pressure on the government there to get 186 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:41.440 answers about the response and the recovery, telling the stories of those on the 187 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.080 island and how they're recovering, not to let it fade away. How often 188 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.639 do we parachute into somewhere, We cover it for a week and then we're 189 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.080 gone and there's not a lot more focus that goes on it. So this 190 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.879 is an initiative really led by by our President Kim Godwin, who she is 191 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.000 saying she wants this to be front and center on the eighth of every month 192 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.919 for the next year to make sure that we get the answers and so yeah, 193 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.759 mawi's strong. Eight. Oh wait, we'll be going for the next 194 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.200 year. All right, Alex Stone, thank you so much for your update. 195 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.200 I appreciate it a time, got it, Thanks Sammy. All right, 196 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.480 right now, let's say good morning to Dean Sharp, the house whisper 197 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.919 and host of home on KFI. Dean, we don't only need to do 198 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:26.879 spring cleaning. It's time for fall cleaning. Good morning, boss. Yeah, 199 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.840 I would agree. In fact, I would say that if you live 200 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:35.559 in southern California, it's actually far more useful to do fall cleaning than spring 201 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.399 cleaning. Freaking It's well, you know, spring cleaning. I have nothing 202 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.720 against it, but spring cleaning really came out of the idea of you know, 203 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.080 and still exists in the idea like if you're sealed up in your house 204 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.159 over a winter with sub zero temperatures all around you, Yeah, by the 205 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.440 time spring rolls around and the sun comes back out again, it's time to 206 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.360 open that house up and air it out and clean everything out. But you 207 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:01.679 think about it. You know, you clean your house in the spring and 208 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.759 then you leave it because it's time to go outside. Here in southern California, 209 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.879 obviously, even when we have nasty winters, we don't get locked up 210 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:16.399 like that, and the house never gets that closed up. However, when 211 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.519 winter rolls around in Southern California, especially last year and the year it looks 212 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.559 like that's coming on us here, we are going to be spending more time 213 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.960 inside. And then the holidays and all the entertaining and all the pressure that's 214 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.360 put on just about every area of the house. So I make the argument 215 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.720 that every September it's time to do fall cleaning, and let's get the house 216 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.679 ready for the fact that we're going to be spending way way more time inside 217 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.759 it, and probably with guests and friends as well. We'll be putting a 218 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.720 lot of pressure on the house. Okay, so for the inside, what 219 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.919 are some of the top things people should be thinking about? Well, always 220 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.039 at the top of my list always is decluttering. You know, we just 221 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:04.279 kind of you are you're talking to their You're talking to me, whether you 222 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.519 know it or not. Do you have a decluttering issue? I do you 223 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.080 know what I don't have a house. I have an apartment, and I 224 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.279 am I just have collected things and am running out of room. My apartment 225 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.200 has great storage, but I've been there for a long time and I'm running 226 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.360 out of space. I need to clear out the closets. I think that's 227 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.240 just the case. It's just the strangest thing. I mean, honestly, 228 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.000 first world problems. Right, we just moved through this world. We moved 229 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:38.000 through this world, and things just show up. Stuff just shows up in 230 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.639 our in our house, right, It just it clings to us when we 231 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.960 go outside, we bring it home and now we've got to hit Yeah. 232 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:51.480 So decluttering is always always a really really important thing to do. But there 233 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.159 are other things as well. For instance, if you are planning on entertaining 234 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.320 and you do more cooking or that kind of stuff on the holidays, now 235 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.160 is a good time too. For instance, clean the oven, which usually 236 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.720 never gets cleaned, and cleaning the oven, taking your time to do it 237 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.880 in a month like September when there's no pressure on, is the better way 238 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.960 to do. A lot of folks have older ovens, right, Not everybody 239 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.519 has the benefit of having a brand new, sparkling oven. And I know 240 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.519 most ovens out there have self cleaning modes on them, so you lock them 241 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:30.000 up and they go for three or four hours at an incredibly high temperature inside 242 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.920 and it takes all the guck and the muck and it just pretty much turns 243 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.599 it to ash, which is awesome. But the older your oven is, 244 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.839 the more taxing that self cleaning mode is on it, and so as your 245 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.960 oven ages, it is a better idea to sort of take your time and 246 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.880 clean it manually than run it through itself cleaning mode, because it's kind of 247 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:56.119 like asking somebody in their mid nineties who walks every day and is relatively healthy 248 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:02.079 to run a marathon on Friday, unprepared and untrained for it's just is that 249 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.920 going to make them healthier? No? I think it's going to take something 250 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:08.400 out of them. So using the self cleaning mode on the oven less always 251 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.079 a good idea, okay. And that's we're cooking on the inside, cooking 252 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.200 on the outside, which is still popular because it doesn't get so cold here. 253 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.960 That's another time to clean for the barbecue. Clean the barbecue. Yeah, 254 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.359 yeah, I mean we've been using it all summer. It's probably gunked 255 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.680 up and you probably have some good cooks on it left still, especially through 256 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.799 the opening of football season and all of this stuff in September and October and 257 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.359 so on. But at some point you're gonna be wrapping it up, especially 258 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.240 when the rains hit. So yeah, get a good clean on the barbecue. 259 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.960 Just clean the stuff, clean, clean, clean, whether it's inside 260 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.000 or out. That's what we're looking at. And then there are practical areas 261 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.480 too, like you know, checking to make sure that everything is going okay 262 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.240 up on the roof because very very likely we're in an Alnino year. Plus 263 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:02.759 the atmospheric river is still present from season, so the chance of us having 264 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.359 a very very wet winter like we did this last year very high. And 265 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:11.599 if you already know your roof has issues, now now is the time to 266 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.200 call out the roofer and start deciding what you're going to do about it before 267 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.400 the rain starts. And also a good time to check the gutters, right, 268 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.519 Absolutely got to clean those gutters. And a lot of people don't think 269 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.000 that. Well, you know, I don't have any trees near my house, 270 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:26.400 so my gutters are fine. It's not about leaves. Really, leaves 271 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.920 are an issue, but you know what it is, you know what collects 272 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.640 on your car as you sit out as it sits outside, dust, dust, 273 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.319 dirt, and silt settles in the bottom of your gutters and the first 274 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:42.559 rain turns it into mush, and then they don't drain properly. So everybody 275 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.759 who has gutters should clean them out this time of year. Okay. And 276 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.799 here's something that I always forget that I heard you talking earlier this week, 277 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:56.359 I think with Bill, was to change the filter in the furnace always. 278 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:02.359 The filter in the furnace is the every three three months, every quarter, 279 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.359 okay, four times a year, four times a year, okay, I 280 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.480 always. And people are always doing funky things with their air conditioning in their 281 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.480 heater. They're churning off vents in rooms, they're closing doors. We've talked 282 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.640 about how that's never a good idea, and they manipulate their HVAC system in 283 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:23.000 all sorts of weird ways. The one thing you're supposed to do is the 284 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.640 thing that most people forget, which is keep that filter clean. It's not 285 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.039 for you. Actually, the filter is not primarily for our comfort. I 286 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.680 know there's all sorts of anti allergen filters and heppa stuff out there, but 287 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.920 the filter is for the unit so it can keep working effectively and efficiently and 288 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.519 not break down so quickly. And so if you're if you're not good at 289 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.519 remembering, then you know, hey, it's the twenty first century. Set 290 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.799 a reminder, a repeating reminder in your phone or in your calendar app. 291 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:59.400 Or you can go to a place like filter buys dot com and simply get 292 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.759 on a rotating subscription of the payments auto shipments. Yeah, it just shows 293 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.440 up on your doorstep and you're like, oh, yeah, it's my filter. 294 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.759 Okay, I'm going to change it out real quick. I like that 295 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.640 idea. Okay, before we let you go, I this is something to 296 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.880 get your home ready. And that's just start practicing your your holiday recipes now. 297 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.720 Yeah, I you know what, doing home stuff is not just about 298 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:29.279 taking care of the house. It's it's getting ready in every regard. And 299 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.559 I just think September is a transitional month, right. I'm I already. 300 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.480 Autumn is my favorite time of year. So by the time September rolls around, 301 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.839 I am so ready. But yeah, when the holidays hit, you 302 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.279 know you're gonna be asked to crank out some pretty good food. And now 303 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.839 is the time before the pressure is on to experiment a little bit, mix 304 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.359 it up a little bit, come up with something new this year, not 305 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.279 just the old green bean casserole with the crispy Youngians on top. Hey, 306 00:21:55.359 --> 00:22:00.119 there's nothing wrong with green bean cast that. There is nothing wrong with it. 307 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.839 I'm just saying, now's your chance get a little creedive. I like 308 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.119 that idea. Try it first before you do it on Thanksgiving Day. Okay, 309 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.519 So getting your home ready is what we're talking about on Home with Dean 310 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.880 Sharp this weekend, Saturday from six to eight and then Sunday from nine to 311 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.480 noon. I hear you're going to talk about trees. Yes, Autumn, 312 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.839 not spring again is the right time to prune your trees. But most people 313 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.359 are very gunshy when it comes to it because they don't know how. Sunday, 314 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.400 I'm going to teach you, from beginning to end how to prune your 315 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:37.680 trees correctly. Dean Sharp, host of Home with Dean Sharp an appropriate name 316 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.920 right here on KFI this weekend, Thanks so much for your time. Right 317 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.440 now, let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment guru Jason Nathanson. Jason, 318 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.200 good morning, Good morning. Jimmy Fallon seems like such a nice guy, 319 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.200 but we got some word that might not be the case. Well, yeah, 320 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:59.279 this article in Rolling Stone that came out yesterday talked about a toxic workplace 321 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.240 environment and basically the fish rots from the head, and that head is Jimmy 322 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:08.440 Fallon, And you know, it talked about a few incidences over the past 323 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:14.640 few years, most of them being a couple of years ago, but then 324 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.039 also some of them were debunked. One of them was an incident involving Jerry 325 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:27.319 Seinfeld where Fallon was apparently abusive verbally to a Q card holder and he was 326 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:33.480 so bad that Seinfeld had to tell him to apologize to this guy. Well, 327 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.240 after this article came out, Seinfeld put out a statement to Rolling Stone 328 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.039 saying it didn't happen like that, and that's an idiotic way to kind of 329 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.200 reframe what happened. And in fact, the incident was something that was funny 330 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.240 that he and Fallon still laugh about to this day. So there is some 331 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.559 defense for Fallon, And the article itself seems a little bit thin in its 332 00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.279 portrayal or it's allegations of there's no big bombshell, you know, Falin did 333 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:06.039 this. Now, given all that Valon did apologize to staff yesterday, reportedly 334 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:10.480 in a zoom call, saying that he you know, uh, he's sorry 335 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.759 if he embarrassed people. He never set out to create that type of atmosphere 336 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:17.920 at the show. But it seems also that one of the issues being that 337 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.200 the show has had nine show runners in the past nine years, and a 338 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:25.359 lot of them have not been necessarily the best of people. But for the 339 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.960 past year or so, it's been Chris Miller and the people say that the 340 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:36.039 environment there is much better than it has been in the past. Are a 341 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.839 high turnover like that? The show runners turning over? Is that common? 342 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:42.519 No, not at all. That's a ridiculous amount of people who have been 343 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.599 at the top of that show in the past nine years. I mean, 344 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.960 you know, some shows have had just one or two during their whole run, 345 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:55.880 So that might be one of the reasons for the instability and some of 346 00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.720 the problems at the show. Apparently things are better now a lot of the 347 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.119 that happened in the past. But you know, there have been rumors and 348 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:10.079 stuff about Fallon's robatic behavior that this is mentioned in the article. They bring 349 00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:15.000 up drinking, some incidents where he might have been drunk. On set again, 350 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.720 we've seen that stuff reported before. It was years ago. It hasn't 351 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:23.079 been recently, so we don't know if this is still an ongoing thing or 352 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.200 if that's something that was just in the past and maybe isolated. Maybe funny 353 00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:32.039 people are just mean, that's possibility too, although there's a lot of them 354 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:37.720 out there that you know, people who work for say Conan O'Brien or Colbert, 355 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.720 you know, you don't really or Kimmel, you don't hear these kinds 356 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:47.640 of stories necessarily about them. And what's interesting also is that the Late nine 357 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:53.960 host just started a podcast during the strike which involves Fallon and Kimmel and Colbert 358 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:59.680 and John Oliver and Seth Myers, and I wonder if they're going to address 359 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.759 this or at all or not on the podcast. It seems like something that 360 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.960 you probably wouldn't want to bring up, but then also again with these kinds 361 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.319 of guys, it seems like something they would definitely want to bring up, 362 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.440 right it really is? It really is. Maybe have to listen to that 363 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:19.640 podcast and find out. So what's coming up this weekend at theaters? And 364 00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.720 why aren't you excited for My Big fat Greek wedding? Three oh do I 365 00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:30.240 have to explain why I'm not excited for my big because I mean, the 366 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.720 first one did. The first one was fabulous. I loved the first movie, 367 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.839 and then it's kind of been trading on that reputation for you know, 368 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.880 another sequel and now a third sequel which has thirty percent fresh on Rotten tomatoes. 369 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:47.720 So I'm not alone in my lack of enthusiasm for it. This is 370 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.039 you know, they take the whole family, they go to Greece. It's 371 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.279 a you know, a little bit of an adventure there, and you know, 372 00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.200 if you were a fan of the first one and maybe the second, 373 00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.279 it's something that you want to check out. But also I don't know that 374 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.559 anybody was like I really got to return to this franchise and see what these 375 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.640 characters are doing. Some things are that are left, you know, in 376 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.599 the past. All I know is if I do go see it, I'm 377 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:14.400 going to take my Windex. Okay. Do you know why I don't remember 378 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.400 from the first wedding that her dad said Windex would kind of cure all ills. 379 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.000 Oh okay, yeah. It was like one of the funny kind of 380 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:23.799 running jokes on the movie that it was one hundred years ago though, there 381 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.400 you go, and that's the thing it was. It was quite a while 382 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.240 ago, all right. And then also the Nune two. Oh yeah, 383 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.920 if you're into scary stuff, and this is that time of year, you 384 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.200 know, scary movies are Actually they've become a staple all year round at this 385 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:40.400 point, and they make money. They're usually produced for very cheap. They 386 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.200 almost never get great reviews, but to go and they like to get scared, 387 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.319 and you know, September October it is a great time for that. 388 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.319 The Nne the first nine, which came out I believe four years ago, 389 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.200 had a huge opening weekend in September. It's like fifty six million dollars. 390 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.839 It's not going to be the case this weekend, but it's still gonna be 391 00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.240 pretty good for a slow September around thirty million. It should top the box 392 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:03.440 office. And this is part of the whole Conjuring series. This is picks 393 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.119 up in nineteen fifty six France.

Yeah, I might have to pass on that one. 396 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:22.000 Yeah, it's it's better rated than my big back Greek wedding on rotten tomatoes. 397 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.680 Okay, but you know it's yeah, those things come down to basically, 398 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:26.960 are you a horror fan or not.

A man arrested for a series of car 404 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.960 fires in Long Beach has been released. Investigators now say they don't think that 405 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.599 man is responsible for the fires. The series of car fires started August twentieth 406 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.759 in an area between the Long Beach Convention Center and Camden Harbor View apartments along 407 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.400 Ceater Walk.

Trial has started for a 409 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.839 male manny from Costa Mesa, charged with molesting seventeen boys, one as young 410 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.079 as two years old. The first words the prosecutor told the jury were they 411 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:15.359 trusted him as Matthew Zazhevsky, clean cut in a suit, looked on intently. 412 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.920 The assistant DA went on to explain how detectives found thousands of images and 413 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.680 videos of naked children, sleeping children, and sex acts on children. Prosecutors 414 00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:29.880 say the man advertised on multiple websites as being really good with boys with special 415 00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.359 needs. The defense attorney yesterday asked jurors to keep an open mind throughout the 416 00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.519 trial at the Orange County Superior Court. Corbin Carson kf I News.
