WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.480 demand on the iHeartRadio app k f I and KOST HD two Los Angeles and 3 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:33.200 Orange County. And you haste Amy. Okay, it's five o'clock. Good 4 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.119 morning. This is your wake up call for Tuesday, November twenty, first 5 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.079 two days to Thanksgiving. I think today is supposed to be the busiest travel 6 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.960 day of the years. People are leaving early, hitting the road, and 7 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.399 of course Triple A has been saying they're expecting record travel. But you know 8 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.960 what I noticed, You know when the ten is now open again, thank 9 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.960 goodness, the downtown, but it was closed for eight days and so you 10 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.799 know, they were encouraged people to take public transit or work from home. 11 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.640 And I will tell you that when I leave the station, I usually hit 12 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.280 traffic on the five, which is between eleven and twelve thirty. When I 13 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.799 head home, I usually hit traffic. But last week there was like no 14 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:22.200 traffic as a headed tourd down to town. So people were heating the warning. 15 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.400 And then yesterday the freeways open and guess what, back to the traffic. 16 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.000 So we got to do something really fun yesterday. You know, that 17 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.599 we're doing Pastathon at the Anaheim White House next Tuesday. I'm giving Tuesday, 18 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.280 the twenty eighth, So we went down there to talk to Chef Bruno and 19 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.640 some of the people involved, because you know, the whole station is involved. 20 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.480 We're going to be broadcasting live at the Anaheim white House all day starting 21 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.480 at five am on Tuesday. I hope you'll join us for that. But 22 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.560 we went down there and Chef Bruno was doing something yesterday. It's called snow 23 00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.560 Day, such a cool thing. So it's eighty degrees out and Bruno trucked 24 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.519 in snow into the back parking lot and he brings some of the kids from 25 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.919 the boys and Girls clubs that he feeds every day for a party. So 26 00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:10.719 they got a meal at the white House. I mean, like oh, 27 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.599 and it was a nice meal because I tasted just a little of the pasta, 28 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.759 but they had like full Thanksgiving meal. And then the kids had bounce 29 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.919 houses and they got to play and they got to go sledding, and it 30 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.240 was so cool because, like I said, it was eighty degrees and there's 31 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.560 snow, and Bruno was telling us that some of these kids have never seen 32 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.919 snow like in real life. You know, seen it on TV, so 33 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.319 it was really cool and it's just one of the many really great things that 34 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:42.800 Chef Bruno does as he manages to feed twenty five thousand children a week with 35 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.680 Katerina's Club, So very cool experience. We hope that you will join us 36 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.000 for pasta than we'll tell you more about that in just a little while. 37 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.360 And again, it's going to be a big day, but we couldn't do 38 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.360 it without you, so do join us. Here's what's ahead on wake up 39 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.560 call. Strong sant Ana wins expected to blow through southern California through midday. 40 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.439 GUS between forty five and sixty five miles per hour expected in Mountain Valley and 41 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.960 coastal areas. Augusta in the Santa Clarita Valley yesterday was clocked at one hundred 42 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.800 and thirty miles per hour. The head of hamasa's political bureaus is the two 43 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.400 the group is nearing what it's calling a truce. The response delivered to officials 44 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.719 in Qatar who've been mediating for the release of hostages between Israel and the United 45 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.680 States. Any possible deal is expected to include the exchange of hostages for Palestinians 46 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:36.240 held in Israeli prisons. Some environmentalists are fighting efforts to plant thousands of sequoia 47 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.039 seedlings in areas burned by wildfire in National parkland in the southern Sierra Nevada. 48 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.599 No wahi would that do that well? They filed the lawsuit, saying that 49 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.599 the replanting would be done in designated wilderness areas where human intervention is banned. 50 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.759 They also say the groves of sequoias destroyed in the fire can regenerate on their 51 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.680 own. At six oh five, it's handle on the news a surprise visit 52 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.560 to Quisve from the US Secretary of Defense. Why he'd go there and what 53 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.479 Ukraine gets out of it. Let's get started with some of the stories coming 54 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.120 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. We're just getting warned that two 55 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.800 LAPED officers have been hit by a vehicle on the northbound fifty seven freeway in 56 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.959 Fullerton. Both were taken to hospitals. We'll get more details to you as 57 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:24.560 more comes in. Massive excavators and water trucks have begun deconstructing a seventeen story 58 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.959 tall World War two blimp Hager in Testin that was destroyed by five This is 59 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.360 going to be sort of longer process than I think a lot of folks expect. 60 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.720 Tustin Mayor Austin Lombard says the first step is clearing debris from office complexes 61 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:40.839 that line the hangar, then deconstructing the huge hangar doors. We're going to 62 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.879 take them apart, piece by piece, so you're not going to see a 63 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.279 sort of wrecking ball out there knocking these things down. But the massive stone 64 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.199 pillars could remains a sentiment among the community of trying to keep some sort of 65 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.920 monument to the hangar. We thought the concrete pillars could be a nice touch, 66 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.360 he says. The water trucks are meant to keep the asbestos out of 67 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.879 the air. The fire started two weeks ago in Orange County. Corbin car 68 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.399 and kf I News. White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby says the administration 69 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.800 is working hour by hour on a deal to free hostages held by Hamas and 70 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.879 Gaza. We believe we're closer than we've ever been, so we're hopeful, 71 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.240 but there's still work to be done, and nothing is done until it's all 72 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.160 done, so we're going to keep working on this. He wouldn't give details 73 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.800 about negotiations. He said, the less the better. Two Israeli sources have 74 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.399 said a deal could be announced as early as today. The UC system is 75 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.279 dedicated seven million dollars to combat extremism on its campuses. It says the intent 76 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:40.319 is to fight what it calls the alarming acts of bigotry, intolerance, intimidation, 77 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.519 including anti Semitism and Islamophobia. The money will go toward emergency mental health 78 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:50.000 resources for students and staff, educational programs, and faculty training with an emphasis 79 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:57.000 on academic freedom, diversity, and equity. Now, ABC's Mike Debuski, 80 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.319 Mike sam Altman was fired from Open Air on Friday. The CEO immediately quit, 81 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.519 and now there could be a mass exodus. Yeah, it seems that 82 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:12.199 way. So at last count, more than seven hundred of open AI's employees 83 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.879 have now signed onto this letter threatening to resign if the board of that company 84 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.759 does not itself resign, so essentially saying we're going to quit if you don't. 85 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.759 And of course this comes in light of a really climactic few days at 86 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.519 open Ai. As you mentioned, sam Altman was fired. The CEO of 87 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.360 that company was fired on Friday by the company's board that board, saying that 88 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:42.839 Altman had not been consistently candid with them no longer. That is the huge 89 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.800 question hanging over all of this. No one really seems to know an answer 90 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.839 as to why Sam Altman was fired beyond this sort of cryptic and vague blog 91 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:56.600 post. In fact, Saxia Nadella, who is the CEO of Microsoft, 92 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.120 who yesterday announced that they were planning to hire Sam Altman to run an AI 93 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.839 division within that company, he did a round of interviews and said he didn't 94 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:10.920 know why Sam Altman was fired. The CEO of Microsoft, a major investor 95 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.120 in open Ai, no idea why he was let go and why he was 96 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.519 let go in the way that he was. Again, this was a very 97 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.680 sudden and very unexpected move from the board of open Ai. Let a lot 98 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.199 of people in the tech world with their jaws on the floor because open i 99 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.560 had been doing really, really well. They're the makers of chat GPT, 100 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.680 which is just about a year old as we're speaking right now. Two million 101 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.000 developers are building things with their tools. Ninety two percent of Fortune five hundred 102 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:42.959 companies use its products. One hundred million people use chat gpt every week. 103 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.920 This was a company that was a rocket ship. But suddenly that rocket ship 104 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.040 was left without a pilot Amy, and it left a lot of people asking 105 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.279 the question of why we still just don't have a really good answer for that. 106 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.120 I think it's a pretty impressive sign about Altman and maybe his leadership that 107 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.920 that many employees they're saying, yeah, bring him back or we're gone. 108 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.720 So our best guess is that about seven hundred and seventy people in total worked 109 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.319 at open Ai. So this is the wo'sty of this company. Yeah, 110 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.839 it's pretty much everybody. And so yesterday Microsoft announced that they were planning to 111 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.079 hire Sam Altman, and as part of the round of interviews that the CEO 112 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.319 of Microsoft was doing, Satinnadella was doing, he said that there's room at 113 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.600 Microsoft for these employees to come over if they want to. Essentially, the 114 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:35.159 takeaway from Satia Nadella's speaking yesterday was that he's cool either way, right, 115 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.000 He's fine if Sam Altman joins Microsoft and brings the rest of the company with 116 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.919 him, he's cool. If they renegotiate and Sam Altman goes back to open 117 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.039 Ai, you know, with some changes, because again these two companies are 118 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.639 pretty closely linked, and you know from Satinnadella's perspective, he is either acquiring 119 00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:00.759 pretty much ninety five percent of the company without you know, really raising a 120 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.080 finger, without a hospital takeover, without a hostile takeover, without billions of 121 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.559 dollars and months of negotiations and you know, figuring out anti trust problem like 122 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.159 he's just essentially hired them, or you know, he goes back sam Altman, 123 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.639 goes back to open Ai and they continue their partnership as normal. So 124 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.759 you know, Mic is up kind of in the best position here, it 125 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.360 seems like. But again it's it's really interesting some corporate maneuvering. Going on. 126 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.759 Another detail I'll share with you Amy, is that on that list of 127 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.759 employees who you know are calling on the board to resign is this guy, 128 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.559 Ilia Sutskifer, who many thought led the charge at open Ai to get rid 129 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.879 of Sam Altman. Now he's signing on to this letter saying if the board 130 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.200 doesn't resign, he's going to quit and go join sam Altman. Okay, 131 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.240 this is furthering my conspiracy theory because if the guy who was trying to get 132 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.759 him out apparently is mad that he's trying to get him out and wants the 133 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.480 board gone and nobody knows why, and they're using this ambiguous language. My 134 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.600 thought is that Ai I actually fired him and is taking over. That was 135 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.519 what I was saying yesterday. Again, you know this is a joke, 136 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.519 but you know that's that's you know, chat GPT has become self aware and 137 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.000 like we're just trying to cover it up. Yeah. I watched the new 138 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.600 Mission Impossible last night. It's affecting my thinking here, I think. But 139 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.600 yeah, that's that works. No word on whether they asked chat GPT what 140 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.960 to do, though, I guess we'll have to just wait and see. 141 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.200 All Right, Wow, this is crazy. Okay, well we're going to 142 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.360 keep watching it. Thanks for letting us know what's up. That's craziness, 143 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:31.679 of course, Amy, take care, all right, you too. Let's 144 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.399 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 145 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.559 newsroom. The HPECE organized retail theft task Forces. It has recovered more than 146 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.840 sixty thousand dollars in stolen merchandise and three stolen cars during a state wide operation. 147 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.039 One hundred and thirty seven people were arrested during the large scale operation that 148 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.519 happened on November third. The operation included police from southern California, the Bay 149 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.080 Area, the Inland Empire, and parts of the Central Valley. Police have 150 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.120 shot and killed a man who had barricaded himself in a house in up Well, 151 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.879 and the standoffs started yesterday when deputies tried to serve a search warrant at 152 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.720 the home. The guy inside refused to come out and took some shots at 153 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.080 deputies. A SWAT team was called and people in surrounding homes were ordered to 154 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.200 get out. Thought of my neighbor right across the street from me, because 155 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.120 I know, yes, small children who were probably home because Thanksgiving. Thanks 156 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.320 Giving a weekend. I got a hold of him. I told him to 157 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.919 come to my house and try to get all my neighbors out. I knew 158 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.519 you'd madly something was wrong. Hours later, the house caught fire and explosion 159 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.320 was heard. The man then came out of the house with a gun and 160 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.440 that's when he was shot. A woman's been arrested on suspicion of murdering her 161 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.000 seventy eight year old mother in Huntington Beach. Police responded to a nine to 162 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.759 one one call at a home early last Friday morning where a woman was standing 163 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.480 at the door. Police found her mother dead inside. The daughter was booked 164 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.480 on one count of murder. Detectives would not give details on how the elderly 165 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:54.080 woman died or who called nine to one one. LA City Councilman Kevin Daleone 166 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.320 has set up a resource center for businesses impacted by the closure around downtown La 167 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.480 on the ten. Business Owners who go to the center can connect with different 168 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:07.080 city and county agencies to get help. Director of the La Downtown Industrial Business 169 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.159 Improvement District, the Stella Lopez, says the impact area is home to many 170 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.159 food distribution centers. It was a logjam through here and you had these enormous 171 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.759 trucks that were stuck because of the closure. So this area just ground to 172 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.519 a halt. Official say they'll use feedback from business owners at the resource center 173 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.919 to consider a possible grant program in La Blake Trolley. K if I News. 174 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.360 The CDC's issued a warning involving fruits from a farm near Fresno. ABC's 175 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:41.440 Alex Stone says a lasteria outbreak has been documented in seven states, including California, 176 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.320 because of peaches, nectarines, and plums from HMC farms.

Okay. New report out on car 181 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.120 theft not good news. Remind you to not leave anything in your car and 182 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.559 lock your doors.

Car theF started rising in 185 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.879 LA shortly after the pandemic started, and then they might have reduced a little 186 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.799 bit, but didn't really dramatically come back down. Through October thirty first of 187 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.200 this year, the count of stolen cars twenty one thousand and forty three. 188 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:50.720 What cars are being taken, it's the old standards. There's the twenty fifteen 189 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:58.240 Kia Optima.

Oh and just so 192 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.440 you know, the most most stolen vehicles per neighborhood, Downtown LA is number 193 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.519 one, Westlake is two, Boyle Heights is three. Van Nuss four in 194 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.720 Koreatown is five. So again, lock your doors. Not that that's going 195 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.080 to help. I don't know what's going to help at this point, because 196 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.320 that's a lot of cars. Man. Police are searching for a group of 197 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.519 robbers who ransacked a Nike community store in South la Seventeen people between the ages 198 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.519 of fifteen and twenty were involved in the flash mob robbery. They got away 199 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.279 in five different getaway cars on Sunday night with about twelve thousand dollars with the 200 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.200 merchandise Carthf's in La as we were just talking about, have hit their highest 201 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:56.519 level in almost fifteen years. Last month, almost twenty three hundred ninety four 202 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:01.360 cars were stolen in the city.

We'll keep you posted on that one. 210 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.480 Let's say good morning to the host of How to Money on KFI, Joel 211 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.240 Larsgard. Joel. With the holidays, we need your advice and insight more 212 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.919 than ever. Hey, I'm here. However I can help, I'll do 213 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.320 it well. Black Fridays three days away, So let's start with that. 214 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.159 I mean, everybody's waiting for deals, but I'm seeing like they're like Target 215 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.399 has already started offering them, and Walmart has already started offering them. So 216 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.639 what are we going to find as far as great deals this year? Oh? 217 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.200 Yeah, Like so I'm actually doing a Black Friday special here on the 218 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.039 station. But the truth is, so many of the deals really are already 219 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.159 here. And Black Friday used to be a day, right, and then 220 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:10.960 it bled into Thanksgiving, and now it's this season long deal's extravaganza. And 221 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.399 that's both good and bad because you don't have to go in the store anymore, 222 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.919 which is nice, but you're also tempted to spend for weeks on end 223 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.120 it deals continually pulling at your wallet. So it's like this, It's this 224 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.200 double edged sword where yeah, you can find some great deals right now and 225 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.960 you don't have to leave the comfort of your own home, but at the 226 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:33.919 same time, you just have to be careful because it's easy. It's so 227 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.960 much easier to overdo it when Black Friday turns into a week's long extravaganza. 228 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.600 Okay, so should we fall back to what you and I have talked about 229 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:48.879 before that with heading into the holidays, you should probably set your budget now. 230 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.519 So even though there are those great deals that go, eh, am 231 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.279 I gonna blow everything on this deal? Or do I wait? Or how 232 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.679 should we best prepare for this? Yeah? I mean, for sure you 233 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.080 should have a list. I don't think you need to feel compelled to buy 234 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.839 for every single person in your family and who you haven't seen in twelve years 235 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:07.200 or something like that, who you're randomly going to get together with this year. 236 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.279 I think sometimes people feel obligated or guilty about the amount of folks they 237 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.400 need to show up for and how much they need to spend. And the 238 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.240 truth is, there are all sorts of ways to show you care by spending 239 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.079 a little or by spending nothing at all, but just make sure you kind 240 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.799 of have that budget laid out, because the truth is something like one in 241 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.240 four people are still paying, like we talked about last week, I think, 242 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.680 for what they spent on the holiday season last year, which is just 243 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.920 a scary place to be. And the truth is, there's just so many 244 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.359 ways to enjoy the holidays without spending bukoos of dollars. And I think we 245 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.680 put all this pressure on ourselves and we fail to enjoy the season for what 246 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.119 it is. Too. All this money and spending and stuff gets in the 247 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:51.400 way of kind of the real deal what actually matters about this tiny year. 248 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.000 Well, I agree with you, but we still do want to talk about 249 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.440 this stuff. Yeah, you still want to get the deals right, So 250 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.160 I think that's really important to mention you do now is the time to buy 251 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.480 the stuff if you want a deal. And so I want to mention a 252 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.039 couple of sites that I think are the best for tracking deals. There's one 253 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.960 called deal News, There's one called slick Deals, and those are the two 254 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.440 tops in my opinion. And the great thing is if you're looking for something 255 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.599 in particular, they have a search bar or categories right so you can drill 256 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.480 down and see, Okay, what are the best tech deals right now? 257 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.119 Or I'm actually looking for an Apple Watch and you can type that in and 258 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.599 so you can kind of or I'm looking for a Nintendo Switch and you know, 259 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.839 the disc We haven't seen a lot of discounts on that, but we 260 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.759 have seen bundles which you're adding at least you're getting games included and stuff like 261 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.559 that. So if you know what you're looking for, these sites can be 262 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.240 incredibly helpful. And even if you're just kind of browsing, they can be 263 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.640 helpful for that too. But yeah, like we're seeing discounts on Apple gift 264 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.640 cards and stuff like that. Some of the gift card deals are actually pretty 265 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.400 strong right now. And Target always when you wait, if you wait till 266 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.039 December, second and third, you're gonna get ten percent off Target gift cards. 267 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.160 So those are sites kind of on if you're looking to keep up to 268 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.559 speed on where the deals are and how good they are. Okay, and 269 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.079 I just ran across this one and I don't know that it would give it 270 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.200 to somebody or maybe keep it. Maybe it's a good deal for yourself. 271 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:19.720 But Max has a Black Friday sale. The streaming service, yeah yeah, 272 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:25.319 they cut their rates seventy per month for six months. This is one of 273 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.559 my favorite things actually to tell people to consider because we've seen massive inflation on 274 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.279 what streaming costs right like so much it's not even funny. And the deals 275 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.000 on streaming and on cell phone. So if you're like I was gonna sign 276 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.960 up for Hulu anyway or Max or whatever or Disney Plus, the deals right 277 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:47.440 now on those are really really good, Like you were talking significant amount of 278 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.640 So Hulu it's ninety nine cents a month for a whole year, and then 279 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.960 you can add on Disney Plus for two bucks. So you're talking about three 280 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.359 dollars a month for two of the main streaming services. That is a really 281 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:02.200 good deal, and that's going to save you a bundle versus what you'd normally 282 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:07.799 pay. Another great deal that most people are probably overlooking is like cell phone 283 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.359 service. I love, Like, if it's something you're gonna buy anyway, 284 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.720 but you can just get it at a much cheaper price now is the perfect 285 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.039 time to do that. And so like mint Mobile, which is one of 286 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.759 my favorites, they're like basically the cheapest anyway. But they have their Black 287 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.680 Friday sale going on right now, which means if you sign up for Mint 288 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.279 Mobile, you're buying three months and you're getting three months free. And so 289 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.000 given how cheap those plans are already to begin with, this is like a 290 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.799 slam dunk significantly awesome deal that most people. If you're paying more than twenty 291 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.440 five bucks a month for cell phone service, you should totally look into it. 292 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.319 Twenty five bucks a month and paying like six times that I know. 293 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:47.319 Well, so the new stats came out about how much the average cell phone 294 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.680 bill is. It's one hundred and nineteen dollars a month. I was shocked 295 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.920 to see it because from where I'm sitting, I'm always seeing these discount cell 296 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.279 phone providers that are known as mv and o's Mobile Virtual Network Operators, and 297 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.880 so I'm looking at these guys and they keep cutting prices, but it turns 298 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.079 the big guys keep raising prices, and so there's a bigger gap than ever 299 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.279 between what people are paying and what you can pay. It's kind of like 300 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.480 the high old savings account thing where most people just kind of inertia bias, 301 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.440 they stick with the big bank when what they should have done was moved to 302 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.599 one of my favorite online banks. And so there's just a massive gap between 303 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.119 what people can earn and what most people are earning. Well, the same 304 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.799 is true in the cell phone space, and so if you are paying north 305 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:23.200 of one hundred bucks, I mean, think about how significant the savings are 306 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.599 if you move down to fifteen or twenty a month, and most people think, 307 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.680 oh man, I'm going to be giving up so much to go with 308 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.039 the discount cell phone service. Well, the New York Times had a ride 309 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.559 up this week and they're finally getting on board. I've been talking about this 310 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.000 for like close to a decade, and the New York Times finally said, 311 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.960 no, these services are just as good as the other ones. And it's 312 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.200 true. They are. They have been, and so for most folks who 313 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.240 are nervous. The great thing is there's free trial periods for these nbnos. 314 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.640 So you can try Mint Wireless for free for seven days and you don't even 315 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.440 have to cancel your old service. You can literally just like get the e 316 00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.799 sim on your phone, try it out and if it doesn't work, if 317 00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.200 you're like, wait a second, no, this service isn't as good and 318 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.079 I'd rather pay full price with one of the big guys, then you can 319 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.279 stay put. But if it works, you're just going to save a ridiculous 320 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.039 amount of money. And think of all the money that you save that you 321 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.480 could spend on holidays. See, and then you can feel a little bit 322 00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:18.640 better even about buying that deal for yourself, right, not as much guilt 323 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.880 over your head to save money. In another way, Yeah, because my 324 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.480 cell phone is around that average. And if I can get meant for twenty 325 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.960 bucks or thirty bucks or even forty bucks a month and get the same service, 326 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.039 why wouldn't you Well, I will say this, they don't charge forty 327 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.920 bucks a month. I'm sorry, Amy, that's that's a little too rich 328 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.440 for their blood. Really. Oh yeah, no, So their cheapest plan 329 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:42.680 is fifteen bucks a month. You pay for three months or a year in 330 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.400 advance, but it's only going to save you a ridiculous amount of money. 331 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:48.960 I'm on the cheapest plan there, which is the fifteen dollars a month five 332 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.240 gigs a month plan. But if you need more data, you can go 333 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.680 to the twenty dollars a month, fifteen giga month gigabyte plan.

If you just 356 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.160 can't bear the thought of cooking a Thanksgiving dinner, there is still time to 357 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:37.759 get someone else to do it for you. We'll tell you about that right 358 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:42.640 now. Let's say good morning to ABC's Inez de la Quittera. Good morning, 359 00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:48.480 Inez. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made a surprise visit to Ukraine yesterday and 360 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.079 came bearing gifts. Hey, good morning. That's right, yeah, So 361 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:57.519 Defend Secretary Lloyd Austin making a surprise visit to Kiev wrapping up his surprise visit 362 00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:02.440 to Ukraine. Clear just what he would be doing there, the PENTAGONA had 363 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.160 said he would be meeting with Ukrainian officials and reemphasizing the US's support for Ukraine, 364 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.400 and we did see him meeting with the Ukrainian President of Velenski saying that 365 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.240 the message he was bringing was that the US would stand with Ukraine and would 366 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.960 remain with Ukraine for the long haul. And this of course comes as the 367 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.799 US has also been busy with everything going on in Israel, but often they're 368 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.039 essentially telling Zelenski that Ukraine has not forgotten that the US continues to stand with 369 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.200 Ukraine. And like you say, the big headline was that he announced a 370 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.400 new security package for Ukraine, a new package of one hundred million dollars. 371 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.279 It's worth pointing out though, that that is actually one of the smallest packages 372 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.240 received by Ukraine to date. The White House has been saying that money for 373 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:48.359 Ukraine is beginning to run out as Congress grows increasingly divided over whether to continue 374 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:55.000 providing more aid for Ukraine. And what is this aid package going to provide? 375 00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.559 Yeah, so as far as where the money is going to go. 376 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.599 We understand it's going to be so it's going to be used to send one 377 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.960 high mobility artillery rocket systems and known as a high MARS system. There's going 378 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.839 to be additional ammunition as well, a Singer anti aircraft so several Singer anti 379 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:21.839 aircraft missiles as well as cold weather gear as we head in, two winter 380 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.200 demolition munitions to clear obstacles, and more than three million rounds of small arms 381 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:32.480 ammunition, amongst other things. That those are probably the highlights here. And 382 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.079 yeah, so this is you know, I think it's interesting to note that 383 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.599 some of this is specifically geared towards winter, and also that there's more than 384 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:45.359 three million rounds of small arms ammunition also interesting and seems to indicate that the 385 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.759 fighting in Ukraine has maybe changed a little bit over the last few months. 386 00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.319 Yeah, and it's so crazy because we just don't hear much about it, 387 00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:00.599 and that war rages on, but everybody's got their focus on is and so 388 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.039 it's like Ukraine, we just forget because it's not top of mind. And 389 00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:10.119 as I was curious about the aid package because one of the concerns of a 390 00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:14.079 lot of like lawmakers, any in general people are saying, well, we're 391 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.599 giving Ukraine all this money and we don't specifically know what it's being used for. 392 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.000 This one hundred million dollars sounds very specific. Is that? Is that 393 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:25.400 always how it is? Or is it in the past we've just said it 394 00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:27.319 said, here's the money, allocated, how you want it, or have 395 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:33.079 we been directing how it's used. We've been a concern that that, you 396 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.400 know, it's unclear exactly where the money goes, and it's unclear how much 397 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.119 longer we can kind of keep this up for. But in this case, 398 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.960 yeah, you're right, it is very uh specific. They have announced you 399 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.200 know, everything that that's going to be provided as part of this package. 400 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.559 Often you know, also said that he does see bipartisan support in both chambers 401 00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:57.240 of Congress for Ukraine. He says he knows there's things that they need to 402 00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:03.160 work through to get supplement mental requests approved, but that they're going to continue 403 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:06.640 to do that. They're going to continue working with members of Congress to answer 404 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.359 all their questions. But yeah, I I mean, that's a that's a 405 00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:14.640 great question. It might be I hadn't you know so much picked up on 406 00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.359 that, but maybe it is, you know, in response to to the 407 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:23.640 criticism from lawmakers that they're now being very specific when they make those announcements regarding 408 00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.960 these these aid packages. Okay, And one last question is the one hundred 409 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:32.440 million dollars that Austin announced yesterday. Is that part of the one hundred and 410 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.960 six billion the Biden administration wants for Ukraine and Israel and border in Taiwan or 411 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.160 is this a separate thing. So we know that the White House is going 412 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.119 to be pushing for for additional aid to Ukraine. But as you know, 413 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.119 again this issue with the divisions in Congress some lawmakers you know, debates over 414 00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:56.039 over spending bills, that they're having a hard time getting those additional requests approved. 415 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.079 And the White House, you know again had said that that many for 416 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.119 Ukraine is beginning to run out, so they're certainly pressuring lawmakers to try and 417 00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:11.079 free up more money there for Ukraine. So you know they're going to keep 418 00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.200 working on that, but for now that an additional one hundred million dollars that 419 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.680 is part of this money is that is eventually running out. Yeah, okay, 420 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.559 And as dealer Quizira, thanks so much for all the information, and 421 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.079 we look forward to talking to you again soon have a happy Thanksgiving. Thank 422 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.119 you you too. All right, let's get back to some of the stories 423 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:32.160 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As we told you a 424 00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.799 little bit ago, two LAPD officers have been hurt in a crash. A 425 00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:40.400 little more detail. It happened during a chase on the northbound fifty seven freeway 426 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.440 in Fullerton and Nick, Pauliochinni and I were chatting and he said, why 427 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.880 we're laped officers down so far south? It may be because they were involved 428 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.240 in the chase. Well, we're waiting for confirmation on that, but the 429 00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:55.079 chase started in South la. The officers have been taken to the hospital. 430 00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:00.880 Pro Palestinian protesters have thrown fake blood in front of Vice President Harris's in Brentwood. 431 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.559 They also put red handprints on the ground. Before Harris arrived home yesterday 432 00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:10.519 for a campaign fundraiser, cars blocked the street while about two dozen protesters chanted 433 00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:15.839 Free Palestine and you can't hide your committing genocide. The State Attorney General's Office 434 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.039 is it is looking into the actions of a CHP officer who shot and killed 435 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.240 a man on the one O five freeway. Video posted online shows what appears 436 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.039 to be the officer fighting on the pavement with a man. Then it looks 437 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:29.799 like a bullet ricochetes off the pavement. The officer stands up, steps back 438 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.039 and opens fire on the man who remains lying down on the pavement. The 439 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.920 shooting happened Sunday afternoon on the westbound side of the freeway near the Wilmington Avenue 440 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.119 exit. The officer was sent to the scene after drivers called nine to one 441 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:44.319 one to report the man walking in and out of traffic. Early radio transmissions 442 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.519 suggested the man had fired a taser at the officer. Steve Gregory kyf I 443 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.440 News. Strong winds have apparently caused in historic brick building to collapse in Riverside. 444 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.359 The collapse happened yesterday on mission In Avenue near the ninety one, about 445 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.440 a half mile from the Mission in Hotel. The street was closed for a 446 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.799 while because of debris and the roadway. A spokesman for the city says the 447 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.119 building caught fire a few years ago and the winds damaged it even more. 448 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:14.160 Ozzy Osbourne's wife, Sharon, has warned people not to give ozembic to teenagers 449 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.000 because she says it's too easy to become addicted to the weight loss.

Bill 481 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.599 will tell you all about that. So Thanksgiving just two days away, and 482 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:42.240 if the idea of cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner has got you too stressed to 483 00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:45.400 think straight, there are some places that can help. Of course, it 484 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:51.079 comes at a price, but lots of restaurants have ready made Thanksgiving And I'm 485 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.759 I actually think this is a great idea because sometimes you just don't feel like 486 00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:57.920 cooking in the you know, it's a daunting task. It's an all day 487 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.519 thing, and if you just you've been working really hard and you go, 488 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.880 nope, not doing it. Martha Stewart's not cooking a turkey this Thanksgiving. 489 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.480 She said, she's going to go to friends' houses. But here are some 490 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:09.599 places that you can go to. And I know that Nick has been researching 491 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:16.119 this too, and it's not all traditional Thanksgiving too, But like Buca di 492 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:22.079 Beppo is an Italian place, but they sell both heat and serve and ready 493 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:28.800 to serve traditional turkey dinners. You can also add on things like spicy Italian 494 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.760 stuffing, baked zd and meatballs if you want to switch it up just a 495 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:35.000 little bit. And the prices range from like one hundred and five dollars for 496 00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:37.840 three people to one hundred sixty for six, So if you do one hundred 497 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.039 and sixty for six, that's like thirty thirty five bucks a person. Seems 498 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:44.800 high, but they're doing all the cooking, they're taking care of it for 499 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:51.599 you. Another one black angus they have to go Turkey dinners that started one 500 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.679 hundred and three dollars and ninety five cents for a family of four, and 501 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:59.960 they go up to almost up to twelve people, and you pick it up 502 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.840 up like the day before, and then you reheat it and present it on 503 00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:07.159 the day. I think some of them have Thanksgiving Day pickups, but a 504 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.320 lot of them have you picking up before. And a lot of these meals 505 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.119 you do need to order in advance. And I think Nick and I were 506 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:16.639 talking yesterday and you said the deadline for a lot of them is today, 507 00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:21.280 correct, So if you at least get the order intoday, you can usually 508 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:22.760 do a pick up some of them because some of the businesses are closed on 509 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.920 Thanksgiving themselves, so they have to be picked up tomorrow. But yeah, 510 00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.280 you usually sometime around noon today. But I mean there's so many places on 511 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:34.159 top of everything you've talked about. Amy. Even some of our local little 512 00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:37.800 more family chains like Polly's Pies has them. Did they have a whole dinner 513 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.280 or is it just desserve? Yes, no, you can do the whole 514 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.000 thing. So Polly's Pies not only has all your baked good needs, but 515 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.960 you can also take a heat and serve meal with them. There's a couple 516 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.960 of locations, some of them have closed, but they're still available. Hoffs 517 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.280 Hut. There's still some of those locations that are available. Even Cracker Barrel 518 00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:57.400 out in Fontana, you can still get ahead if you want to do something 519 00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.079 for that, you can swing by and get a heat and serve meal for 520 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:01.920 up to ten people. Kids can still be done. So yeah, there's 521 00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:06.679 a lot locally, there's a lot. And have you have you guys tried 522 00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:10.440 Corkis. I've only been to the one in Rancho Kukumonga because it was down 523 00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:14.679 the street from where my best friend lived and on certain Sunday mornings, we 524 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:16.599 go screw it, we're not cooking. We're going to Corkys. They make 525 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:22.840 a massive breakfast and the place is always packed. I bet their Thanksgiving is 526 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.480 fabulous and they are one of the ones offering it, so they've got a 527 00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:29.920 heat and serve turkey dinner. It's one hundred and twenty five bucks for six 528 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:32.199 people, so that's less than twenty five bucks a person. You do need 529 00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:36.199 to get it ordered like by today, because they're saying forty eight hours in 530 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.400 advance, so I'm hoping that that gives you some time. And then a 531 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:46.000 couple other places, Cocoa's Bakery Restaurant has it Dicky's Barbecue Pit, and they 532 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:51.840 have good well and they have some options for you, including like a ten 533 00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.199 to twelve person feast, and instead of just regular traditional delicious turkey, you 534 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:59.679 can have smoked turkey, cage and turkey, or you can get ham in 535 00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.159 prime rib if you're just not a turkey person, and one more real quick 536 00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:05.679 amy to throw in there. Even a fast food places, Popeyes, they 537 00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:08.119 have a Cajun style turkey that you can pick up as well as all the 538 00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:12.599 sides all right, And of course at KFI Our favorite place or a takeout 539 00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.360 on Thanksgiving is Tali Ran, which is right down the street in Burbank, 540 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:19.719 and management always they're really generous and for the staff who has to work on 541 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.159 Thanksgiving, they generally provide us with the Thanksgiving meal and we always get it 542 00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:27.039 at tali Ran and they've got stuff that you can just go pick it up 543 00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.360 on the day of, So lots of options if you don't feel like cooking. 544 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.039 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 545 00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:37.400 four hour newsroom.
