and Dad get a good goal yours, Amy. Okay, this is your
wake up call for Friday, November tenth. Good morning, I'm Amy King,
Ohno. Thanks for using that intro. I know baseball season is over,
but it makes me happy to think about the Dodgers until they think about

is officially Veterans Day, but as you just heard, it's being celebrated today,
So veterans, may I be the first to tell you this morning.
Thank you for your service. Got lots coming up on wake Up Call.
We're going to be getting an update from Israel with ABC's Georgiana Miller. The
new Marvel's movie is out, Del Taco is going Street, and The House
Whisper is giving us some holiday decorations hints here's what's ahead on the wake up
call. The Hamas Health Ministry says four hospitals have been bombed overnight in northern
Gaza. It says thousands of Palestinians have been sheltering at one of the hospitals
and there are a lot of casualties. Israel's military says Hamas operates a command
center at the hospital and had told people to evacuate. Mortgage rates have dropped
this week, the biggest one week declined since last November. Freddy Max says
for the week ending yesterday, a thirty year fixed rate mortgage is at seven
point five percent, down from seven point seven to six percent the week before.
Still way too high. That's me talking, not Freddie mc j.
Joe Manchin is calling it quits. The West Virginia Democratic senator says he is
not going to run for reelection next year, but instead plans to travel the
country to see if there's any interest in getting Americans to come back together.
Not a nice thought. West Virginia is a red state. Republicans see this
is a great opportunity to pick up a seat in the Senate. We shall
see at six oh five it's handle on the news. Israel has agreed to
a series of humanitarian pauses to let Palestinians leave northern Gaza. We'll be talking
more about that. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Schools, parks, and a Veterans Day
celebration in Tustin have been shut down over concerns of air quality and asbestos following
a fire at a massive blimpanger. We really need federal governments support to come
in take care of their own property, Tustin Mayor Austin Lombard says. The
general concern is the asbestos and lead paint commonly used eighty years ago when the
two seventeen story tall World War Two era blimp hangers were built. The eighty
five acres around and including the north hangar are owned by the Department of Navy,
so the federal government we actually don't even have access to the hangar asself.
Fire crews were forced to let the fire that started early Tuesday morning burnout
due to safety concerns in Tustin, Corbin Carson kf I News. At least
fourteen people have been injured when a public transit bus crashed into a restaurant in
Long Beach when the cock came out speeding and front the bus. The bus
picked the car up and went inside the building. It was a bad crash.
Investigators say a speeding car was broadsided by the bus and both vehicles crashed
into the seafood restaurant yesterday afternoon. Five people, actually ten people were taken
to the hospital. No one in the restaurant was hurt. Apple co founder
Steve Wozniak has suffered a minor stroke during a conference in Mexico City. Seventy
three year old says he felt dizzy Wednesday morning and experienced vertigo before going to
the hospital. He'd been scheduled to speak at the World Business for him this
week. Wosnik said, yes, he was back home in California and feeling
good. NASA's oldest living astronaut, Frank Borman, has died. The agency
says he died Tuesday in Montana after suffering a stroke. Borman commanded two early
NASA missions, including the first to orbit the Moon. He was ninety five.
Hey, yesterday we were out and about at the California Science Center to
see the Space Shuttle endeavor and got to talk to the CEO and president of
the Science Center. That full interview is up on my Instagram now so you
can hear what Jeffrey Rudolph had to say, and also see the Space Shuttle
if you haven't seen it. It is spectacular and hopefully it's going to make
you want to go see it because it's only on display until the end of
this year before closes down so it can be repositioned in the upright launch position.
It's gonna be the first time a Space Shuttle's ever been displayed that way.
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom, the US
and South Korea are fast friends and they're teaming up against the bad guys.
Yeah, you got it in won no surprises. They're in lockstep And basically
was a trip by Secretary of State B Lincoln after a two day visit to
Japan for the G seven, where they talked about a number of issues,
but I guess the first and foremost was really Israel and Hamas some of the
countries wanted a ceasefire, but in essence, they got around the table a
said, look, let's agree with at least humanitarian pauses. And use that
as a as a starting measure. So then Blincoln moved on to South Korea,
and yes, you know, news flash, water is wet. They
kind of get the same kind of a line there agreement between Soul and Washington
on you know, what do you do with the problem that is North Korea.
They talked about that. They talked about Russia with regard to Ukraine,
and they talked about China the growing economic and military prowess of Beijing. So
yes, they are on the same page. And then the Secretary went on
to now India where he's holding talks there again the same theme of pauses are
okay, but basically the government in India would like to see a ceasefire in
Gaza. And also Secretary Austin is there as well, talking about exchanging if
you will, manufacturing and high tech if you will, defense sector planning between
the two countries. So yes, a lot to talk about over the past
few days this road trip for predominantly Blincoln, but also Austin joining him in
India. Okay, so Austin's talking about swapping technologies with India, not necessarily
with South Korea or also with South Korea. Well again, yeah, I
mean, South Korea gets a lot of pretty cutting edge US weaponry, but
India would be an area where you know, it's expanding, it's getting larger,
it's getting more powerful, and it's growing in a way that the technology
g there twenty years from now, you know, they might be in the
catbird seat. So yes, trying to strike deals now with the US.
Any anything interesting or shadow linging revelations come out of the meetings of South Korea
or US or was it just really a hey, we're friends and we're going
to stick together and have each other's back. Yeah, got of the ladder.
I guess the interesting point for the Headline Riders was they discussed this alleged
North Korean possibility that they're shipping artillery shells to Russia for use in Ukraine.
And again we've never seen the evidence of this, and the infrastructure in North
Korea is pretty bad. I guess you would have to ship it out on
their antiquated railroad system and I have to go for thousands of miles, cut
through China eventually get to Russia and then on to Ukraine. But you know,
if in fact that is true, what do they get on the deal?
Well, relations would be warming between Pyongyang and Moscow. Russia would get
you know, pretty basic if you will, ammunition in the form of artillery
shells, and North Korea would get kind of the cutting edge technology that they
don't have that they could incorporate into their missile program. And of course they
want to put nuclear warheads on top of these missiles. So yes, both
sides would gain if that relationship continues to grow. Well, we know that
Putin and Kim met not too long ago because Kim took his slow train to
China or I guess it wasn't to China but a slow trained to Russia.
Well, yeah, he went, Yeah, we went through China, but
he got he got to the Fari. He got far far east. A
lot of ostock, I think was where they close to there, that's where
they met up. Yeah. I think it's interesting when we were talking about
South Korea and the US because you think, of you, we know that
those two countries have a really tight relationship, but then you were mentioning that
what they spent their time talking about was also Israel and North not North Korea,
but Israel, Ukraine, Russian, which doesn't seem like a natural conversation
like you expect those two to be just talking about North Korea because that's kind
of the next door neighbor in the real It's like it's like the old skit.
I mean, you know, there's a lot of plates that are spinning
on the stage right now, and uh, you know, you've got You've
got the US for instance, You've got shipments of material to Ukraine and billions
of dollars in taxpayer money. You've got two air craft carrier strike strike groups,
one in the Eastern med one in the Red Sea heading toward the Persian
Gulf. You know, there's been saber rattling with Iran. There's concerns now
that you know, with all of the distractions the US has, maybe China
might say, you know what, we're gonna take Taiwan back. So,
yes, you reach a point where too many plates are spinning and you really
cannot maintain all of them at the same time. It's crazy times. Tom
Rivers will We'll be watching it and I'm sure we'll be talking to you a
lot more. If you want to follow Tom, you can follow him at
Tom Rivers ABC. Thank you so much for your insight and information. Tom,
have a great weekend. Take care all right, let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Biden administration says Israel has agreed to four hour pauses in fighting in Gaza every
day to allow for the safe passage of civilians and humanitarian aid. A spokesman
for the UN Secretary General says any plans for short term pauses and fighting must
be carried out in coordination with the UN. Rabbis have joined Holocaust survivors at
the Museum of Tolerance in La in a show of solidarity for Jews killed in
the Hamas attack on Israel. Jews are calling on global leaders to take action
against anti Semitism. Rabbi Marvin Hier is calling Hamas the Nazis of the twenty
first century Hua October seventh, proudly broadcast their mass murdering, their ing they
had baby burning. The rabbi condemned attacks on all Jews yesterday on the eighty
fifth anniversary of Crystal Knocks or the Night of Broken Glass, where in nineteen
thirty eight Nazis terrorized Jews in Germany and Austria. In La Chris Adler KFI
News the Wrong Way driver who plowed into Ella County Sheriff's recruits in Whittier has
been re arrested and charged. Mister Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez, twenty three, of
Diamond Bart, has been charged with one kind of vehicular manslaughter and nine counts
of reckless arriving costing injury. Ella County DA George Gascone says the driver hit
twenty five recruits out on a morning run on November sixteenth of last year.
The man said he had fallen asleep at the wheel. One of the recruits
died from his injuries eight months later. A man facing a life sentence for
killing his ex girlfriend with a bomb in Orange County in twenty eighteen is pleaded
guilty to federal fraud charges. Assistant US Attorney Mark Teklas says an FBI investigation
of the bombing led investigators to Steven Biel's fake disability. He had also been
receiving disability, he wasn't working at that time, and as they looked into
all that, they recognized and opened up an investigation into the fraud. Be
Ill pleaded guilty yesterday in the fraud case. He says to be sentenced in
February. He's facing life in federal prison for planting a bomb at a day
spot in Aliso Viejo where his girlfriend worked or his ex girlfriend brother. She
was killed and two others were injured. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies in Palm Desert
are cracking down on by drivers who violate the state's hand free cell phone law.
Am I talking to you? They say, Drivers who need to make
an important call or send a text need to pull over to a safe spot
and always put their phones somewhere unreachable before starting to drive. The enforcement operation
today is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. So if you break
the law, you might end up in the lock up, And if you
don't break the law, you might still end up in a jail. So
this is just like my worst nightmare story. So this woman in Orange County
goes to visit a friend in jail at the Theolacey Detention Center. It's in
Orange, So she wanted to see her friend or whoever this inmate was.
The person was unavailable, so she was sitting in a visiting booth waiting and
fell asleep. Well, no one noticed that she was sitting in the booth
asleep. The area closed at five o'clock, they locked the doors and off
they went, and she wasn't found until the area was reopened the next morning
at eight a m. So she got to spend the night in jail.
There was no phone inside the visiting area, and of course when you go
into jail, you can't take your cell phone with you, so she didn't
have her phone, couldn't call anyone. The good news for her was the
woman was in an area that's not really accessible to the inmates, so she's
apparently okay. But they are investigating to see what happened, and an emergency
phone is going to be installed in the waiting area, probably a good idea.
Hey, Del Taco has gone. So we told you, or you
may have. Actually we didn't tell you yesterday, but Del Taco started offering
a beria on its menu. It's braised beef served with a spicy consume,
and Del Taco's added that to their menu. And so Nick and I were
out and about and we went we got to do Del Taco, so we
went and got it. We got the beria ramen. There was also the
shredded beef beria casadia with consume with consume and also a beef beria tacos.
So I thought it was good. I think I don't think it's as good
as you know, the stuff you get on the street. Yeah, I
know that's one hundred percent accurate. Yea, because it's delicious and you if
you see somebody driving around, you should definitely pull off. You should not
be worried in any way, shape or form. They are all licensed by
the county, so it's not a big worry there. But it was.
Yeah, they're much more delicious. Although now I think we agreed on this
one. The meat was really quite good. Yeah, the shredded beef was
really good. Yeah. So we had they had the casadia and the taco
and it had the shredded beef in it, which was delicious and I like
ramen, so it was good. But I will tell you the consumme was
so so so salt like it was wild. It was like eating a bullion
cube is really what it felt like. So yeah, So if you can't
find a taco truck and you you have a hanker in for some yummy bea
del Tacos now offering it on their menu. The City of Tustin has declared
a local emergency because of toxins in the air from the fire that destroyed a
World War II era blimp hanger this week. Samples of ash collected from the
area near the hangar of tested positive for asbestos, lead, arsenic, and
nickel. The Ventura County Sheriff's offices it does not have enough evidence to warrant
and arrest in the death of a Jewish protester in Thousand Oaks. His death
is considered a homicide. Sixty nine year old Paul Kessley died Monday, a
day after falling and suffering a severe head injury. People of color have gotten
equal time on TV for the first time. UCLA's Hollywood TV Diversity Report shows
in the twenty twenty one to twenty two season, people of color got proportionate
represent centation on broadcasting cable TV and also got more lead roles at six so
five ITTs. Handle on the news, the Biden administrations being warned that its
support for Israel could do generational damage to its relationship with Arab countries. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, it's not
three days. It's four hours a day that Israel has agreed to, that's
right, and today it's actually eight hours, not four hours. The quarter
on Salastine Highway, running from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip
is now has been open for now more than seven hours, allowing tens of
thousands of gozens to head south, and that is essentially Israel's humanitarian pause for
the day, no military operations in the area. Next week, the Israeli
Army may open as second corridor that heads north, you know, from the
north to the south along the coastline. But these are going to be areas
where, you know, God willing, many civilians are going to be able
to leave the north and get to the south, which is a safer area
and where aid can be more quickly distributed. Okay. Now, Netan Yahoo
in an interview that I saw, said that the operations against Hamas are continuing.
So during those pauses, is it just that area or does Israel stop
down altogether during that time frame or do we know yet? Right, So,
the pauses are only in that area and for those limited hours of the
Israeli Army is operating as we speak in Gaza City in the dense areas there
further north from that highway that opens up and then goes south. So this
is not a humanitarian pause across the country for the military operation. It is
only a pause to help civilians that Israel is securing, and it'll be at
different times. Today, instead of opening a second quarter as we thought,
Israel allowed the same quarter it's had opened for the last few days a longer
period, and yesterday fifty thousand Gossens fled. The day before another fifty thousand,
So this may be an effective way to move people. That doesn't mean
it's in any way easy. These are people who are leaving their homes and
everything they have, heading south to ten tent cities essentially. And there may
be more aid in the south, but it's still not anywhere near the kind
of aid that Gosins are used to seeing. So you know, this is
let's not make more of it than it is to start, but you know,
there's still a lot of hardship in the Gaza Strip, Okay and Jordana.
As we've been talking over the last few weeks, Hamas has actually been
preventing Palestinians from leaving certain areas. Israel was saying get out, get out,
and Amasa is saying no, let's just stay where you are. So
now that these humanitarian corridors are being opened up, is Hamas letting them out.
Is Israel protecting the Palestinians. Now Israel is protecting the civilian population.
And we saw a huge dump jump midweek. On Wednesday, we suddenly saw
you know, fifty thousand people flee. So that tells you a little bit
that Hamas is kind of losing some control over the population and the people there
are just getting scared because Israel's closing in on Gaza City and the fighting is
more intense. The bombing raids are more intense at night. They're coming from
the sky, from the sea, you know, and people want to get
out. So, you know, Hamas doesn't have you know, they've they're
kind of lost the propaganda war where they tried to convince civilians initially don't go,
don't go. They even set up some barricades and from at least a
couple phone calls and interviews that Israel did with gods and civilians, you know,
some people, you know, Amas actually opened fire on them to try
to get them to turn back. But we see now that the gods and
people are leaving in much greater numbers, and Hamas is just unable to stop
them. Okay, well, let's hope that that continues and more people are
able to get out to a safer place. Thank you so much, jar
Dana Miller. I'm sure we'll be talking to you next week. Have a
safe weekend. Talk soon. All right, here's some more of the stories

the fifty million people impacted by human trafficking around the world. Doctoral candidate Kelsey
Morgan says the life Map app features an online questionnaire that's already showing trends in
the data not just an Orange county, but reflected worldwide. That of the
six domains finance, education, and employment have the highest level of vulnerability and
the highest priorities selected by survivors. Morgan says the goal is to gain better
information that'll help providers connect survivors with what they need. The OC Human Trafficking
Task Forces implemented the tool, which includes user friendly platforms for young adults and

Dean Sharp right here on Kfi. Good morning Dean, Good morning Amy.
So holidays we're done with, We're done with Halloween, and now we have
the speed bump that is Thanksgiving, That's what I call it, because people
are shifting into Christmas mode. So is it too soon to start decorating your
home for the holidays? Well, not for the holidays, not if you
count thanks Giving is not a speed bump. But you know, but no,
you know, Tim Conway asked me last night, how early is too
early? I think these days, I think once you're in November, you
know, I think I think it's pretty much open game. Nobody's going to
get upset with you. Not when, not when Costco has got Christmas trees
in August right well in home Depot and Low's everybody said Christmas out since like,
yeah, well the summer was still going exactly. So No, I
don't think it is. I don't think it's too early at all, especially
in the latter part of the month. But let me tell you though,
just to not ignore Thanksgiving, I think November is a kind of a slump
in decorating. Maybe everybody's just gaining their strength and getting ready. But but
you know, we hit Halloween and you know, a lot of people get
very festive for Halloween, and then as soon as Halloween is done booming,
so the first day of November, which is just you know, we've got
this beautiful fall weather. I mean, it is really the beginning of the
holiday season, but not a lot happens. So let me just say this,
Decorating for fall is well worth every penny and every minute because it only
takes a minute. All you have to do is pile a bunch of farmy
stuff out on the front porch. A few gourds, pumpkins, you know,
a cornstalk or two, maybe a hay bale. You simply pile that
near the front door. And man, it is it's beautiful. It's really
beautiful. It is, and it's it is like you said, it's it's
warm, and it's homey and comforting. I love I love the fall harvest
decorations. I do it around my house. So I decorate for not get
my holiday straight. I decorate for Halloween, and then after Halloween is over,
I keep all the pumpkiny things out, but put away the ghosts and
the spiders and that kind of stuff exactly. And a lot of people are
concerned like, well, I can't put out pumpkins because you know they they're
gonna rot, They're gonna go bad. No, they're not. Jack o'
lanterns do that because you carve the guts out of them. But pumpkins are
a winter squash. They have very thick skin. They will sit there on
your porch for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks, and then you know,
turn them into a pie. Yeah, unless you have like what I
have, which I think is possums who are eating big chunks out of my
little pumpkins on the front porch. Well, that is true, that is
true. Their critters will enjoy some critters will enjoy the treat that is a
pumpkin on your porch. But generally speaking, people are in good shape.
Okay, so let's talk about a little bit about holiday decorations. I know
that a lot of people do them themselves, but I want to know when
are you good to go to do your own decorations and when should you call
in a pro All right, Well, you know it's very simply this.
I think number one, if you are comfortable with the tools required, I
mean really comfortable, you're not trying to prove anything, including yourself, you
know, something to yourself. If you're really comfortable with it, then I
think you are good to go. There aren't many decorations these days that are
pro specific. I would only say I don't want you if you got the
idea this year, you know what, We're going to wrap that entire elm
tree in the front yard with twinkly lights. Don't back climbing. Don't be
climbing up into the elm tree, right And unless you are going to rent
the right kind of ladder or lift to get that done, then that's something
that you call in somebody to take care of it. And there are services
all over southern California that will do that kind of thing for you. But
if we're talking about, you know, the kind of the normal stuff,
get up on a ladder, hang lights around the edge of the roof,
that kind of stuff then and most of the time, by the way,
it's not about getting on the roof. It's just about getting on a safe
ladder next to the roof. And there are ways to do that, like
getting an extension ladder with a stabilizer on it. A stabilizer's this forty fifth
dollar accessory that can go on the top of your extension ladder. That will
hold it out nice and firm away from the wall. It won't crush your
gutters. It's safe for you, it's safe for the house. It's just
a really good idea. But if you're comfortable with that kind of stuff and
willing to take your time, then you know, I say move forward,
especially these days since there are so many new I don't want to say tricks,
but really it comes down to techniques for putting up Christmas lights. One
of the things I'm most excited about. I was just going to ask you
about this. I know what you're going to say. These magnetic light clips
and wire clamps. Okay, so you don't have to put the clips on
the gutter, and you don't have to put nails into the side of the
house to hang out exactly, No weird plastic clips on the guter, No
nails or staples around or in through the wires that mess things up. These
things. There are two different kinds there. There are these magnetic clamps that
can clamp onto a wire without just disturbing the wire. They just surround the
wire, and that means you can hang any kind of light set whatsoever but
if you have a traditional light set with the traditional kind of socket bulb,
then there are clips also that fit right over the back of the socket.
And these are really powerful magnets. Okay, these are not your old school
weak magnets. So these things and literally here's the thing. You've either got
gutters around the edge of your roof or right at the roofline, right below
the shingles. You have a two inch strip of edge metal coming off of
your roof, the perfect place to put these. And now all you do
is reach up and snap boop. They just snap right in and you can
position them, taking them down as easy, putting them up as easy,
and they're strong enough to hold up through winds and rains. It's just a
great idea. I love that idea. Okay, then one other idea,
but I'm not going to have you tell us about it now. I'm just
going to have you tease it right now. If you don't want to put
specific little lights up all around the house. Flood lighting is a new and
you're going to be talking about that this weekend. Absolutely color changing floodlge Ooh
okay, And then the other thing you're doing this weekend on home with Dean
sharp Is. You're doing an all call weekend. It is an all call.
We every few weeks we try and set aside everything just to take calls
because our listeners are always calling in. I never get to all the calls.
So Saturday and Sunday, if you've got questions about your home anything,
design, construction, diy, from top to bottom, from property line to
property line, now is the time to give me a call and we'll put
our heads together and figure out what's going on with your home. Okay,
So you've been doing this, you say you do it every few weeks or
so, and you've been doing the show for how many years? Six?
Seven, eight years? It's in January, it's going to be seven years.
Oh my goodness, I'm for an anniversary. So what's it like off
the top of your head, what's one of the craziest calls you've gotten?
Oh, you don't have to say their name. I'm sure you remember one
or two. Well, we did get a call about somebody who was convinced,
since we're just getting off of Halloween, that their attic was haunted,
I mean actually haunted. And I thought, you know, because we do
this little show, you know, how to deal with your haunted house,
and that just means weird noises that are taking place, and how to fix
some of you and I talked about that, but we've we've gotten calls before
from a couple of people who actually said, my attic is haunted. I'm
like, Okay, what do you think I'm going to be able to do?
You should be calling an exorcist, not the house Whisper. I'm here
to help you deal with the actual creek, not the voice that is coming
from your attic, the voice of the small child. Well, I think
that's a test. What do you think about I think it's a testimony to
you, Dean. They think that you can solve all of their house problems.
Yeah, well don't you think Dean can solve every problem? See?
There you go. I think except for I have to say this, and
I'm not patting myself on the back, but you know, I've done this
for a long time. Except for the paranormal questions, I think generally speaking,
I have not been stumped on the show yet in six and a half
years. Okay, fabulous. So we've got the House Whisper home with Dean
Sharp. It's coming up this weekend six to eight Tomorrow morning and nine to
noon Sunday morning, and it's an all call weekend. So if you've got
a question about your house, Dean's the guy to answer it for you.
Thank you, Dean Sharp, thank you Amy. All right, I have
a great day. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Air Quality officials have detected asbestos in the
debris of a massive World War II era blimp hanger in Tustin that caught fire
this week. Mayor Austin Lombard says, oh See, fire officials only have
access to the Navy's eighty five acres of land while fighting the fire. Once
the fire burns off, they need the Navy to come in and clean up
the mess, and you know, we'll help support them in that effort and
get resources that we have available, but the city's not going to be taking
the lead on the cleanup. We need the Needle to do that, Lombard
says. Veterans Day celebration for Saturday had to be canceled. Schools in nearby
parks are closed because of asbestos concerns. Fire crews have been unable to get
into the seventeen story tall hangar. Since the fire started on Tuesday morning,

Okay, So the big question of the day, Yes, because I saw
the Marvels. You saw the Marvels. Is the Marvels marvelous? Is the
Marvel's marvelous? I would say, no, marvelous. I agree, Marvelus
is a very strong word, one that could only be used by Billy Crystal
to describe things. And I don't look up. Yes, I don't think
this quite lives up to it, and I don't think the box office is
going to be marvelous, not to quite what they're looking for. It's going
to finish at number one, but we're looking at maybe sixty million dollars,
which is well on the lower end of a Marvel opening. And Marvel's had
some issues after being one of the most bankable franchises for years, for the
past couple of years now, they've had lots of misses more than hits,
which is and this is not going to be the one that writes the ship
unfortunately. Wait, you know what, I agree with you. I think
that at some point they need to put a pause on this. They're cranking
out so many Marvel movies that they're not special anymore. Yeah, and Bob
Iger talked about that this week on the Disney earnings call. And they're going
to be doing They're going to be kind of refocusing and not kind of diluting
the brand on Marvel and Star Wars when it comes to TV shows and movies.
They're going to take a little bit of a step back and kind of
rethink. A lot of this stuff wasn't very good either. Yeah, And
so we'll see what's going on with that this film is kind of a sequel
to Captain Marvel from twenty nineteen. You have Bree Larson's character back, Carol
Danvers aka Captain Marvel, and we've had, you know, like you've been
talking about in the past couple of years, we've had other characters introduced.
So there's Miss Marvel played by Iman Vallani. He's adorable, she's great,
and she has kind of power similar to that of Captain Marvel. And then
you also have Monica Rambo, who we know from the first film as a
younger child, but also then from One Division. So you have to kind
of know what's going on with One Division, you have to know what's going
on with Miss Marvel, and then of course Captain Marvel to really know everything
that's going on here. And the three of them all have similar powers,
their powers getting tangled. They have to figure out exactly what's going on.
Like you mentioned there, Aman Vaalani is really kind of the star of this
She is she she was Miss Marvel in the TV series and as a teen
it's her story is really great and infectious because she was a huge fan of
the Marvel movies. The actual not the character, the actual actress aman Vaalani
huge fan of the Marvel movies and then gets cast in them and playing a
character who is a huge fan of the Marvel characters, right, and so
she is kind of playing herself in these films and her joy like it just
seeps through, and it absolutely does. I think that her performance is so
fun and refreshing. Yeah, and so that's one of the best parts of
this. I really I always like Brie Larson, and I think she brings
something as well. She's not necessarily given a whole lot to do here that
really speaks to her talents, but she's always good. And then you have
Goose the Cat, which is also a lot of fun. And there are
kittens which are fun as well. There's some wacky, weird stuff that happens
in this one, which I like. I like when they get a little
strange, seems like they you know, maybe was written in California and somebody
was smoking something. But overall this is, Yeah, this is not going
to be the one that kind of this is not going to be the hit
that Marvel really kind of needs at this point. Yeah, And the other
thing about Brie Larson, I agree, it didn't seem like her character didn't
get to do anything really interesting and go anywhere interesting. I mean, they
did interesting things, but ye know what I mean, like its character development
and all that stuff. And plus it was weird to see her as Captain
Marvel because right now I'm watching her in Lessons in Chemistry on Apple TV and
that is really interesting. Yeah, it's really interesting and really kind of shows
again how good of an actress she is, because you know she she is
a fantastic, really really good actress. Academy Award winning and and and I
think you know, in the in the Marvel movies, we haven't really gotten
a chance to see that. Although I think she brings a certain certain energy,
a certain I don't know exactly what the is, but when she's on
screen, I like her. I like her all the time. But definitely,
if you're looking for watching her really act and use her acting skills,
Lessons in Chemistry on Apple TV plus is the better choice. Okay, speaking
of streaming stuff, I've come to appreciate a good documentary like Michael J.
Fox is still Mary Tyler Moore's being Mary Tyler Moore. I highly recommend both
of those. But tell me about the new Albert Brooks documentary. Yeah,
this is on HBO, premiering tomorrow, and it is you know, remember
we got a couple of years ago Albert Brooks's brother, Bob Einstein, he
died and they did a documentary on him, Super Dave of Osborne, Bob
Einstein, really funny comedian. This seems to be like, Okay, we're
gonna do this. We're not gonna wait until you die to do this.
We're gonna do this before you die and let people talk about you and give
you all your accolades. And it's nice to see that. Rob Reiner directs,
and it's a lot of conversations between the two of them, Albert Brooks
and Rob Reiner. The two of them are lifelong friends, and you can
definitely see their chemistry and camaraderie. And then you just got a ton of
people talking about how great Albert Brooks is, not only as a movie star
and director in films like the documentary is called Defending My Life. One of
the best movies. One of my favorite movies of all time is Defending Your
Life, starring Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep. Do you think I need to
go watch that again? Go watch it? It holds up. It's a
fantastic film. So they talk about that, you know, broadcast news and
you know, all the movies and stuff, but also just his super unique
brand of comedy which really put him on the map and was really influential to
so many comedians today, which I think a lot of people you know of
some younger people might not know, might not remember, but really was something
that was so singular. His comedy was really really funny and fantastic. One
of my favorites of roles of his was when he played in Mother opposite Debbie
Reynolds. Yeah. I think it was of a sleeper movie, but it
was hysterically fantastic, and they go into that and the kind of the origins
of that and how that was really based on his own mom and his relationship,
his relationship with us. If you haven't seen Mother, go see Defending
Your Life and then go and find Mother somewhere because it and I think of
my mother when I watch that. It is hysterical. Sure. Yeah,
all right, Jason Nathans, and thanks so much. Our time together is
always too short. I always have more questions to ask you, but we'll
catch you next week next week, all right, Thanks so much. This
