Here's what's ahead on the wake up 17 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:22.480 Call. Hawaii Governor Josh Green says it's going to take many years to rebuild 18 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.439 Lahina, which has been destroyed by wildfire. Fifty Five people have been confirmed 19 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.079 killed. Firefighters are making some progress, but none of the fires are one 20 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.640 hundred percent surrounded yet. Negotiators with the Writers Guild of America and Hollywood Studios 21 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.959 are going to return to the bargaining table today on this one hundred first day 22 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.079 of the Writer's strike. New York City is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of hip 23 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.680 Hop tonight with a concert at Yankee Stadium featuring that legends run DMC, ice 24 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.719 Cube, Snoop Dogg, Loew, Wayne Whizz, Khalipha, and Moore. 25 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:56.040 Hip Hop is the most listen to music genre in the US. Who knew. 26 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.760 Let's start with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 27 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.319 hour newsroom. The death toll from the deadly wildfires in Hawaii has gone up 28 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.639 to at least fifty five. More than a thousand buildings have been destroyed on 29 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.639 Maui. Governor Josh Green says it's important for people to work together. We're 30 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.879 also going to call to action for people across the state. If you have 31 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.280 additional space in your home, if you have the capacity to take someone in 32 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.080 from West Maui, please do. Green says thousands of people are going to 33 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.319 need housing, and the state is working to get two thousand rooms to assist 34 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.919 those in need. President Biden has approved the state's disaster declaration that opens federal 35 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.080 funding towards state and local recovery efforts. A one hundred and fifty year old 36 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.599 banyan tree in the heart of Lahina has been scorched by the fire that destroyed 37 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.560 the town. Its survival is uncertain. The tree is more than sixty feet 38 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.479 high, anchored by multiple trunks that span nearly an acre. It's been a 39 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.080 gathering place on Lahina's historic front street and very popular with tourists. We just 40 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.240 saw a banyan tree at the South Coast Botanic Garden when we went down there 41 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:04.759 for that washing a shore exhibit in Palace verdies. They're absolutely beautiful, so 42 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.000 sad to see that one burn. CalFire has joined the Bureau of Land Management 43 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.319 in a Good Neighbor Authority agreement to help fight wildfires. Part of the effort 44 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.400 is intended to allow the department access to restricted lands to add fuel breaks in 45 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:22.560 vulnerable areas. Calfire's John Fitch says heavy rains from last spring have created a 46 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.439 lot of ground growth that unfortunately helps fuel the fires. Fuel conditions in weather 47 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.960 conditions drive drive that fire. So we're starting to see activity pick up from 48 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.680 the southern part of our state and in reality across the state as our fine 49 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.000 fuels dry out. CalFire says it's a major step forward in treating one million 50 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.840 acres of wild lands by twenty twenty five. Chris Adler KFI News. A 51 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.159 new book by gambler Billy Waters claims he had a sports betting partnership with professional 52 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.439 golfer Phil Mickelson. Water says Michelson bet more than a billion dollars over three 53 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.680 decades and lost one hundred million. He says at one point, Michelson considered 54 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.719 betting four hundred thousand dollars on the US to win the twenty twelve Rider Cup 55 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.360 he was playing in, but he got talked out of it. What a 56 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:13.919 beautiful landing and a perfect way to complete our first commercial flight and our first 57 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.439 dedicated science mission. Virgin Galactic has launched its first civilian mission to the edge 58 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.240 of space. Three people, including a mother and daughter. Was the first 59 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.399 time a mom and daughter had gone up, and a former Olympian, an 60 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.480 eighty year old canoeist who bought his ticket eighteen years ago, took the ride. 61 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.879 Today, let's say good morning to Alex Stone. So, Alex, 62 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.560 the good news, if there is any, is that the rain has helped 63 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.639 firefighters get some lines around the fires burning on Maui. But the bad news 64 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.560 the damage is done and it's expected that the death toll is going to go 65 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.120 higher. Absolutely, Amy, good morning. Yeah. The number that they're 66 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.959 looking at right now is have you had about eighty percent of the lahine of 67 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.600 fire surrounded now, so that number went way up yesterday when rain moved in. 68 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.199 There were beautiful Hawaiian rainbows that we all think of and that you see 69 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.120 on the license plate that there was. It was emotional for a lot of 70 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.279 people to see the rainbows. That's a sign that there is moisture coming down 71 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.319 and that did help out the numbers that we are hearing that are going up 72 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.920 as it continues to get worse. As you mentioned a moment ago, fifty 73 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:25.720 five now confirmed dead. Those are from Tuesday when the flames went racing through 74 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.519 Lahinah. But it's only now that crews are getting in. I know Riverside 75 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.199 County is sending a search and rescue team, getting the man and woman power 76 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:40.759 in there to search through the remains of the buildings and the cars and everything 77 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.959 else. So the while the numbers are going up, the fire is not 78 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.319 actively destroying a lot, not actively killing people. It's what went on on 79 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.399 Tuesday and this morning. Amy. We talked to Maui's mayor a short time 80 00:05:54.439 --> 00:06:00.680 ago who went into Lahinah yesterday and saw this for himself, the devastation, 81 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.319 and he told us this closest thing I can compare it to is perhaps a 82 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.959 war zone, or maybe a bomb went off. It was cars in the 83 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.600 street, doors open, you know, melted to the ground. Most structures 84 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.839 no longer exist. And in so many ways, it's like what happened in 85 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.199 Paradise a couple of years ago, or in the Sonoma County Wine Country in 86 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.800 twenty seventeen, where it just moved so quickly through the community. People could 87 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.519 not get out. They died in their cars trying to escape. They died 88 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.000 in their homes, unable to get out of there. Then there's all the 89 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.079 missing. Around a thousand people are considered missing right now. People don't know 90 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.439 where their loved ones are. Are they dead or are they just out of 91 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.879 communication. Communication and Kennapali and in Lahinah is down. And then the mass 92 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.480 of the airport of all the Mainlanders trying to get out who have been parked 93 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.600 there. What's going on with all the because we've been talking about the people 94 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.480 who lived there, but then there were people at resorts and they've closed the 95 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.920 resorts down. They're saying, you guys gotta go, and they're making every 96 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.480 bay to go to the airport. Absolutely, So it's a couple of reasons 97 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.319 why they're doing that in Kannapally. And you know there's the Giant West in 98 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:12.000 there, the really big Hyatt Share it in Marryott Vacation Club, a lot 99 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.560 of condos, other hotels that they have told everybody, buses are outside, 100 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.480 you gotta go, You're gonna be brought to the airport. You gotta go 101 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:23.519 back to the mainland. And that one reason is there's no cell service, 102 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.040 there's no power in Kannapoly right now. People are arriving at the airports say 103 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.399 they didn't even know how bad this was. They didn't know Lahinah was gone, 104 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.680 even though they were only in Kannapoly right next to Lahinah, because they 105 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.759 had no communication while they were there. But the other reason why they want 106 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.399 to get people out they need those rooms that they've got about. They need 107 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.439 about two thousand rooms. The hotels are going to be a big chunk of 108 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.680 that, and then they want to put Maui residents in there. So people 109 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:53.199 are being dropped off, families who have been on vacation at the Maui airport. 110 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.240 They're being told you'll find a flight, good luck, you know, 111 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.360 get home safely. And people are camped out. They are living on suggage 112 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:07.079 carts in the terminal. The airlines United Southwest, American Delta, Hawaiian Alaska, 113 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.600 they're flying in empty evacuation flights. They've got on board formula diapers, 114 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.680 food from the mainland. They are dropping that off in Maui and saying everybody 115 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.600 get on board ferries or nineteen bucks on some airlines, ninety nine dollars on 116 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.800 others. They're taking them. People don't know they're gonna go to Honolulu, 117 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.560 come to La San Francisco, Seattle, they're just kind of getting on wherever 118 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.159 they can go, and it is it's a big airlift effort underway right now. 119 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.080 Do they have any idea how long it's going to take to get everybody 120 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.759 out? They don't know. And then you've got people in Wailea who are 121 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.559 just still vacationing and aren't leaving. You know that they're pretty far away from 122 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.200 Lahinah. So you got those people down there, do they empty those out 123 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.919 because they need the rooms? We don't know yet other areas the island where 124 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.000 people haven't gone. So there's still a big effort that's going to need to 125 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.240 go on. It's going to be a few more days of getting people out. 126 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.240 Okay, Alex, thank you so much. While you really brought it 127 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.200 home and kind of created a picture that I hadn't even thought of before, 128 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.200 and so thank you so much. Appreciate it. You got it. Thanks 129 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.480 Jay, have a good weekend you two. You know, it reminds me 130 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.759 of he mentioned the Paradise fire and the fire in Wine Country. There was 131 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.440 also a fire a couple of years ago in southern Oregon, which where it 132 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:22.159 is where I'm from, and the fires came along and just tore through these 133 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:31.600 towns and get emotional about it. Okay, this is a happy Fredday, 134 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.480 but they just tear they destroyed everything, and he and what Alex was talking 135 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.559 about, what the mayor was talking about, it looks like a bomb went 136 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.919 off. I was driving through these neighborhoods a couple of months after it was 137 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.919 done, and they were, you know, they were starting to rebuild and 138 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.879 everything, but like there's nothing left. There's there's a you know, the 139 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:54.240 concrete foundation and in some cases there was a chimney. Sometimes there was a 140 00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:01.600 melted refrigerator, but like nothing was there. And it's it's just so eerie 141 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.120 to drive through even months later. So, wow, it's going to be 142 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.000 tough for the people in Lahinah and on Maui. And there are lots of 143 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.159 ways that you can help. So we're going to put up a list of 144 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.320 resources on our website on KFIAM six forty dot com. We'll put it on 145 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:24.639 the wake Up Call page. But there are several organizations. Hawaii's governor is 146 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.720 saying, the Hawaii Community Foundation and it's Maui Strong Fund are taking donations. 147 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.600 The American Red Crosses getting in there. The Salvation Army is going to be 148 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:39.679 providing food and support. The Maui Food Bank is accepting donations. The Maui 149 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:46.320 Mutual Aid Fund is out there, there's a Loha United Ways Maui Relief Fund. 150 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.120 So several organizations just jumping in right away. And of course we can't 151 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.000 forget the animals. The Humane Society of Maui. I'm sure it's again after 152 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.600 the fires in southern Oregon. There were so many animals that they just run 153 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.519 and they don't know where to go, and they don't have somewhere to come 154 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:09.799 home to, and they need us. Okay, Now, let's get back 155 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.840 to some of the stories coming out of the CAFI twenty four hour newsroom, 156 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.440 and I'll try not to be emotional. Boy, that's just kind of hit 157 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.840 me by surprise. Sorry about that. The Writer's Guild of America and the 158 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:24.600 Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are set to meet to talk about a 159 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.120 contract. The union has been on strike for more than one hundred days. 160 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.720 The WGA said last week the two sides were still far apart on several key 161 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:39.039 issues, including success based residuals for streaming content love our streaming. Police in 162 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.720 Ontario say they're looking for more children who may have been sexually abused by the 163 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.559 owner of a daycare center. The owner was arrested earlier this month for allegedly 164 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.360 sexually assaulting several children. Police say he ran the center for nineteen years. 165 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.080 They started investigating in March after a child reported some abuse. A multimillion dollar 166 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.320 mansion in the Hollywood Hills has been vandalized by what police say was a group 167 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.039 of squatters lapds. His officers got a call about a woman screaming at the 168 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.320 mansion yesterday. They found several people inside the house. Several were detained. 169 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:15.799 No one was arrested. Damaged to the estimated ten million dollar home included broken 170 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:22.440 glass, graffiti, furniture in shreds, and grass trash all over the ground. 171 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:28.360 Regulators in California have approved an expansion of citywide robot taxis in San Francisco 172 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.480 just by concerns over vehicles blocking traffic. The PUC voted yesterday to double the 173 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.799 fleets of driverless vehicles and approved around the clock service. Some people say the 174 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:43.240 taxis are dangerous and if blocked the path for emergency vehicles by stopping unexpectedly. 175 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.000 Others say they will help more disabled people get around town and reduced drunk driving. 176 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:54.159 I'm still so nervous about that. Hawaii Governor Josh Green said the fires 177 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.480 on Maui are likely to be the largest natural disaster in the state's history. 178 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.639 Fifty five people can firm dead, so far more than a thousand still missing. 179 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.519 A multimillion dollar mansion in the Hollywood Hills has been vandalized by what police 180 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.159 said was a group of squatters. LA now has the nation's first all electric 181 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.600 street street sweeper. The eight hundred thousand dollars vehicle is part of LA's plan 182 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.799 to transition the city to one hundred percent clean energy by twenty thirty five. 183 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.080 At six oh five, is handling the news President Biden's ask for an their 184 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.720 twenty four billion dollars to help Ukraine in its war with Russia. At five 185 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.240 thirty five, we're going to be waking up with the house whisper Dean Sharp. 186 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.240 We're gonna talk about some remodeling regrets, and if you're looking to make 187 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.039 changes around your house, you do not want to miss this. But right 188 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.559 now, let's say good morning to ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom, it sounds 189 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.240 like something out of the Apple TV series For All Mankind. Looks like the 190 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:48.879 space race. Yeah, I love this stuff. And this was a spaceport 191 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.399 they had the Russians haven't used too much in the Far East, was Stashny 192 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.080 because they usually use Bikanore in Kazakhstan. But yeah, this is kind of 193 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:05.600 going over old history. The last Moon launch of the old Soviet Union was 194 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.399 forty six years ago, so they're kind of retracing some of those old steps. 195 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.960 In fact, when they were kind of preparing for this launch, and 196 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.240 there's gonna be other launches in the coming years, but they were thinking of 197 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.080 maybe having a rover up there, and they said one too complicated, too 198 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:28.639 heavy. Let's keep it simple on this first robotic. If you will touch 199 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.720 down near the south pole of the Moon, and then we can build on 200 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.120 it and other and other missions. But it's gonna be interesting. They should 201 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.960 be there around the twenty third of August. A similar craft in the similar 202 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.960 area too. It's been launched behind the country of India, and both countries 203 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.799 hope they can find water. If they find water, then one day down 204 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.279 the road, maybe after we're gone, it could be a colony up there 205 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.720 in that part of the world, because if we have water, then you 206 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.879 can build upon that have we ever found water on the Moon. There have 207 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.559 been there have been scientists have at least from our from our chunk, have 208 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.759 said, yeah, we have detected what we think is water. So yeah, 209 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.519 we'll see if in fact that is the case when we get our robotic 210 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.840 probe up there, and they're gonna be checking not only soil but dust particles 211 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:24.159 as well, and feeding that info back to Russia via communications channels, so 212 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.679 that could be analyzed here. Okay. And you mentioned that India also sent 213 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:33.919 up a lunar landing craft, but it left linked on July fourteenth. Why 214 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.679 is it going to take them so long to get there? I guess they're 215 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.639 in the slow lane. Russians are in the Russians are in the fast lane. 216 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.399 I don't know how exactly they're taking different paths, but they're gonna you 217 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.799 know, they should both be at the corner cafe at the same time, 218 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:52.000 same day, okay, and but neither one has people. It's all just 219 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.200 exactly exactly. So again, I guess it makes sense after all these years, 220 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.360 it's like, well, let's uh, let's go in and do something 221 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.200 we think we can do. And of course there's there's there's a myriad of 222 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.240 hitches that can happen in both of these particular projects, but they want to 223 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:14.080 minimize as many of the you know, potential problems and as I say, 224 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.399 through other missions you can you can build upon that down the road. What 225 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.320 are some of the hitches? Well, I mean, will it will Atlanta? 226 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.200 It could crash, Is it going to stay in orbit? Is it 227 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.679 going to shoot off to Elpha Centuri? We don't know, but you know, 228 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.799 hopefully fingers crossed it it does good. And of course the US will 229 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:40.080 be watching that, and India will be watching the Russians. The Russians will 230 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.159 be watching India, and also the Chinese hope to get into the game in 231 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:45.360 a few years as well. So yes, a lot of people are going 232 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.879 to be watching this closely. It reminds me of Hidden Figures. Did you 233 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.919 see that movie? No, I didn't know. Oh my gosh, I 234 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:59.200 so recommended. It's about the Space Program and it was about how people were 235 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.440 actually computer they called people computers before we had you know, electronic computers. 236 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.480 And it was a group of black women who were computers and how they helped, 237 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.759 uh, they helped the Space program. And it's based on a true 238 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.920 story and one of the lines they say when they said, are you ready 239 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.559 to go to the moon, and she said, we're already there. So 240 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.519 it just totally I so recommend that that movie if you haven't seen it yet, 241 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.599 Tom, Okay, we'll check it out. Yeah, why are love? 242 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:30.440 I love these stories too, and they're fascinating and they're captivating and you 243 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.839 know, and it's like it's like it's like an unfolding sports story because we 244 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.960 don't know the outcome is going to be, Yeah, we landed, No, 245 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.640 we landed uh crookedly and the trajectory is wrong and whatever, but you 246 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.279 know, it's it's it's it's it's good to see what comes out and watch 247 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.160 the developments day in day out. Okay, Tom Rivers, thank you so 248 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.880 much. I can't wait to watch this. I hope they beam back some 249 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.680 shots of this. Yeah, guessing the will I wonder if we'll get to 250 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.200 see him. Since it's happening in Russia. I think I think we might 251 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.079 see some stuff. I think I think so, I mean, we still 252 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.480 are we don't agree on much. We still you know, send up you 253 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.920 know astronauts, cosmonauts to be a Russian launcher, So yes, I would 254 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:18.680 expect to hear and see some pictures coming out of the out of Russia and 255 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.119 uh and you know, figures crossed. It's pretty successful. We'll up to 256 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.759 wait and see. Okay, we're gonna be looking at the target date of 257 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:29.359 August twenty third, Tom Rivers, thank you so much. Okay, So 258 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.880 this Weekend with Nick is our buddy Nick Polyuchini. He has a regular feature 259 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:38.960 on Later with Mo Kelly on Friday nights, and this Weekend with Nick is 260 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.400 out of this world. Hunt it boy, that's the truth, to be 261 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.480 honest with you. So this is the Precents meteor Shower. And I know 262 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.960 this is something going back to Elton singing at the beginning that you're super stoked 263 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.920 about. And this is going to be the best display you can see tomorrow 264 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.440 and on Sunday throughout the Southland. And I've got places for you to not 265 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.759 just go see those, but also to be able to enjoy something else going 266 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.880 on. So kind of you know, got a twofer for you if you 267 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.480 want to make it a little bit of a longer weekend or get out of 268 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.799 town to enjoy it. So one of the locations for the Pursed, a 269 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.039 media shower that will be happening, is going to be out in Joshua Tree. 270 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:17.200 So I've got a splash House happening in Palm Springs for you there that's 271 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.720 going to be taking over one of the local hotels and it's got all music. 272 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:22.160 Think of it like a baby Coachella, if you will. It's got 273 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.640 all sorts of music artists that will be there, a couple of different DJs 274 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.839 in residency. Also, if you're feeling, you know, like you want 275 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.279 to head out to Ohi and get to take a little bit of a trip 276 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.240 for the day, there's also the Ohio Pops concert that will be happening tomorrow 277 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.920 that's in the afternoon with a featured vocalist, Sophie Holt. And then if 278 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.160 you're feeling really good, and this is my favorite because I love America's finders. 279 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:49.039 City of San Diego, heading down to Chula Vista the Los Pinos Campgrounds 280 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.039 is a great place to be able to view those because there's not a lot 281 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.519 of light pollution. That's kind of on the far south side of San Diego 282 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.640 County. And they have the twenty six annual Lemon Festival. So if you 283 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.640 miss a Lemon festival in Upland, which we covered on this weekend with Nick 284 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.599 last month. You can actually go down to San Diego and check out their 285 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:10.400 Lemon Festival that's going to be going tomorrow from about eleven to six, and 286 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.319 then you can catch the meter shower later in the evening in the same general 287 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.039 area. So kind of got you covered all across the board absolutely, and 288 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.799 when you talk later in the evening, the peak hours for this meteor shower 289 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.480 are Sunday early Sunday morning on August thirteenth, so between one and three thirty 290 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.680 am you should be able to see it. You know at other times, 291 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.440 but those are the peak times. And it says, of course, get 292 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.759 away from city lights, so you're if you're sitting in the la you gotta 293 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.400 get away from that. And some places you can go that aren't quite so 294 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.039 far there's the Santa Monica Mountains, the Malibu Creek State Park is a good 295 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:51.960 place to go and view. And also in Rancho's Palace forties there's the Rancho 296 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.160 Palace Fortis Overlook just down the street from Robert E. Ryan Community Park. 297 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.279 So if you don't want to go quite so far out, because I think 298 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.480 being out Joshua Tree would be fuhomenal, right, but it takes a while 299 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.440 to get there. No, of course, I mean you have to think 300 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:07.559 it's not it's just about you know, ninety minutes, a little bit more 301 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.599 ninety minutes and then as Amy said, obviously, come on, it's it's 302 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.000 a meteor shower. So late at night is where it is when I'm sitting 303 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.720 to get there in the evening, go out, enjoy yourself. You know 304 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.640 a lot of schools are back in session or are getting ready to go back 305 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.000 in session, so this could be your last family activity as well to get 306 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.839 out and do one final weekend of something really cool and historic going on in 307 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.440 the skies. And then also add a little bit more fun to your weekend. 308 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.960 Absolutely, and we can find out more fun things to do this weekend 309 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.519 with you tonight. That's correct, And you can also check out this weekend 310 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.799 with Nick on Instagram and you can also do kfiam six forty dot com forward 311 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.480 slash Nick for more details about this and so much more going on this weekend. 312 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.440 Awesome, Thanks Nick, you got it right. Now, let's wake 313 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.559 up with the house Whisperer. It's the host of Home on KFI. Dean 314 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:55.279 Sharp. Good morning, Dean, Good morning Amy. Hey, can I 315 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.920 just say this before we get going. Yeah, I think Nick should have 316 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.759 a weekend show. He doesn't have time for a week md show because he's 317 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.440 doing all this stuff that he talks about. I know, I know it. 318 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.400 It would just be so great. My friend Tina Malave used to host 319 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.480 I on LA right, and that's kind of a thing of the past now, 320 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.000 but we need something like that back, somebody who's just like out there 321 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.359 exploring southern California in all of its facets and just you know, some really 322 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.880 cool magazine show. I think Nick would be perfect. Yes, I like 323 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.039 that idea. Oh and you know what we were just talking about, the 324 00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:33.960 Percy a meteor shower. Yes, we're going to put the viewing locations that 325 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.279 we were talking about on the wake up call page at KFI AM six forty. 326 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.440 Give us a minute to get him up there, but we'll put those 327 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.480 up there in case you want to go check out the Percy. It's going 328 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.079 to be cool, always awesome. Okay, back down on Earth, all 329 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.240 right, here we are time to remodel. Time to remodel and not regret 330 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.799 it. Ah, that's the catch. Yeah, So you sent me this 331 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.599 article from a BuzzFeed over the weekend and I told you, I said, 332 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.839 you know what, I think this is great. Let's just do this. 333 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.519 I pushed aside our schedule for the weekend because I thought, you know, 334 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.079 this is really great. You know, remodeling regrets. It was a whole 335 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.119 list of people who had done all these things to their homes and it ended 336 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.119 up regretting some of the money that in time they had spent remodeling. And 337 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.559 I just think it's important understanding what goes wrong on other people's projects, and 338 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:29.759 most importantly, why they go wrong, can help us avoid making those same 339 00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.559 mistakes. And they really all aimy come down to just a handful of basic 340 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:41.160 principles or fundamentals that you might say that people either don't know or skip over 341 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.480 or ignore, and you end up with something that you didn't want. And 342 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.480 that's you know, this is not like going out and buying a blouse and 343 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:55.319 regretting it, you know three days later. It's just us in yeah, 344 00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.319 exactly. We're talking about tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. 345 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.359 Most homeowners have one one really major remodel in them and to think that 346 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.559 when you're done, there's some of it that you regret is just heartbreaking because 347 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.079 you either a have to bite the bullet and go back and reinvest to change 348 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:21.039 what you regret, or you just live with it for you know, twenty 349 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:25.079 or thirty years, and nobody wants that exactly. So let's let's find uh 350 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.960 what some of the ones that popped up for you. Well, you know, 351 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.319 they're they're all interesting. I actually wanted to hear about your friend who 352 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.599 had done like four of these. She okay, so my friend Debbie is 353 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.279 doing a fabulous remodel, and I will tell you it looks great. It 354 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.880 is absolutely beautiful. She took. They have a condo. Actually it's it's 355 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.799 not a condo, it's an attached wallhouse, but it's this beautiful house, 356 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.119 great location, but it's older, and so they wanted to open it up 357 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.200 and make a great room, which everybody is doing. So they've made a 358 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.759 great room. They've used gray flooring. I believe they got a one of 359 00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:10.079 the single farmhouse style kitchen sinks. And there was another thing that they did 360 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:11.319 as well that was on this list, and I went up, oh, 361 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.960 okay, so here's the thing of it right now, and I've seen it. 362 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.000 It's beautiful. Okay, all right, So that's perfect, all right, 363 00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.640 So so just everybody, so everybody knows we should we need to post 364 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.599 this article somewhere on the KFI website or maybe on wake up Call. But 365 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.440 but you know, so here is part of this article was somebody had put 366 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:37.079 a gray luxury vinyl plank flooring in their basement after a leak, and then 367 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:42.000 somebody else had installed, you know, a classic single base and farmhouse sink, 368 00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.920 and somebody else had opened up their family room to the kitchen in a 369 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.400 big open space. And people do this all the time, but each one 370 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.119 of these were items where people regretted it, regretted it. So this is 371 00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.839 what I'm talking about. I talked to Conway about the sink last night. 372 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.000 He's like, you know what, we put in one of those single basin 373 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.759 farmhouse sinks and the whole bottom is really flat and they don't drain like super 374 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.400 easy. You've got to actually go in there and like rense them out in 375 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:12.960 the bottom. He's like, I hate it. I don't think anybody should 376 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.079 have these. And I'm like, well, here's the point, tim, 377 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:22.039 farmhouse sinks. You know, they're kind of proven, they've been around for 378 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.400 two hundred plus years. This is the oldest kind of think you can get 379 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.759 and they're still going strong. So it's not about the fixture being a bad 380 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.880 fixture. And that's what I thought was funny about the article, because the 381 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.279 impression is don't ever buy a farmhouse sink. That's a mistake. Now it's 382 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.079 about you, as the homeowner, knowing what it is that you really want, 383 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.000 knowing yourself well enough to know what you really want. And you know, 384 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.200 we encourage people all the time, Hey, step out of your comfort 385 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.000 zone, try something new, get outside the envelope, get outside the box. 386 00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.960 But if you're gonna be working with a fixture or something a material that 387 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:10.519 you are utterly unfamiliar with, get familiar with it before you commit to putting 388 00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.960 it in your home. So most of these areas most of the issues on 389 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.079 the list of oh I would never do this again, or I would never 390 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.640 Some of them are just mistakes that people make with the way they get installed. 391 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.200 But when it comes to something like a farmhouse sinc. The mistake here 392 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.319 is not doing your research, not educating yourself. And it's not that there's 393 00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.480 anything wrong with a farmhouse sinc. They're classic, it's just that it was 394 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.039 wrong for them and it's wrong for them. Yeah, Like I have one 395 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.400 of the two sinks, and I like that better because I use half of 396 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.079 it to dry dishes, right exactly, and so so which is better? 397 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.359 I get that question all the time. Which is better a double basin sink 398 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.079 or a single basin sincing. I don't know. I don't know what's better 399 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.599 for you. I'm a single basin sinc guy. We do a lot of 400 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.279 cooking in the kitchen. I got a lot of big pots, pays, 401 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.319 griddles, and I love the fact that I can take the biggest cooking implement 402 00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:10.279 or platter that we're using and get it all laying flat down in the bottom 403 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.319 of the sink. Other people want the two basins. There's no right or 404 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:18.240 wrong to it. What is the truth? Is right or wrong for you? 405 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.039 And that's one of the fundamental principles that we can learn from these lists 406 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:29.839 of regrets, understanding yourself, understanding what went wrong with the project in terms 407 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.319 of you. Absolutely here's one that and I do want to put this list. 408 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.799 Let's put this on the wake Up Call page on the KFI website because 409 00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:38.200 it is super interesting because you look at some of these things and you go, 410 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.000 oh, like an open floor print plan. Who doesn't want that? 411 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.680 But this person says, well, now I can hear every clang, every 412 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.920 curse, every mutter, every footstep, So you just have to plan for 413 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.039 it. If that's not right for you, then don't do it. But 414 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:55.519 it might be right for somebody else. But here's one of the ones that 415 00:28:55.559 --> 00:29:00.359 I thought was really interesting is they put in a speaker system with surrounds sound 416 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.599 in their home. And they said technology has changed so quickly that all of 417 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.720 it's now outdated, and they built it in. It's not like they mounted 418 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.519 speakers, it's they built them into the walls. Yeah, exactly. Now, 419 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:14.880 Okay, so that's a fascinating one on the list. This is an 420 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.440 area of what I would say homeowner ignorance for it to make it on this 421 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:23.640 list. It was not wrong for them to build in a surround sound system. 422 00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.599 It was not wrong to build it into the walls. Because their complaint 423 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:33.640 here on the list is only half correct. Okay, it is not outdated 424 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.759 to have built in speaker wire in your house leading to a surround sound system, 425 00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:42.400 and the speakers aren't outdated. What's outdated? Very likely if they did 426 00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.240 this, you know, fifteen years ago, is the receiver that's sending the 427 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.440 signal to the speakers. All this homeowner needs to do is update the receiver. 428 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.279 The speakers, they're just kind of there, right. Speakers from thirty 429 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:02.559 years ago would work fine just as well as speakers today. It's that one 430 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.440 component. One component needs to be switched out, and this whole thing is 431 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.880 back to life again. So again, assuming oh we did it wrong, 432 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.079 don't ever build in your surround sound system into your house because you know five 433 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.319 years later when the new technology comes out, it'll be out of date. 434 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.480 Not really, not the speakers. You never see the movie theater changing the 435 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.200 speakers out of the wall in the cinema, but they are changing the hardware 436 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.400 that's driving them. Okay, So remodeling regrets. You're going to be talking 437 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.359 about that more on your show this weekend, and also getting some input from 438 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.160 listeners who've done some stuff that they're not so happy about it any longer. 439 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.400 Right, Absolutely, Saturday and Sunday. We're doing it all weekend long. 440 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.880 It's going to be a great time. It's Home with Dean Sharp Saturday's six 441 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.200 to eight am. Sundays from nine to noon. You can also follow Dean 442 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.200 at Home with Dean Dean Sharp, thanks so much, Thank you. Amy. 443 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.559 Negotiators with the Writer's Guild of America and Hollywood Studios are going to return 444 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.599 to the bargaining table today. It'll be the first negotiating sessions. The strike 445 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.559 started in early May. The strike is one hundred one days old. The 446 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:10.920 Dodgers will retire the number thirty four worn by legendary lefty Fernando Valenzuela at tonight's 447 00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:14.400 game. It's more ceremonial than anything. No one has worn the number thirty 448 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.880 four for the Dodgers since Valenzuela was released during spring training in nineteen ninety one. 449 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:25.000 Let's say good morning to ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason, can Barbie be 450 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:30.039 beat at the box office? Nope? Oh you not this, Not this 451 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:37.359 weekend. This We're into the dog days of summer at this point where studios 452 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.400 don't typically release. Although the whole release schedule has been upended and everything is 453 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:47.279 topsy turvy these days, but uh, studios don't typically put out big movies 454 00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:49.480 at this time of year. It's seen as slower time. People are going 455 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.640 back to school, it's in the summer. People are getting in those last 456 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.480 vacations it's just not really the time where you release big blockbusters, as we 457 00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.920 see by this week, where you have two movies that are pretty small with 458 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:07.400 Jewels starring Ben Kingsley as a guy who lives kind of a quiet life in 459 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:13.359 a small town until UFO shows up crash lands in his backyard. It's a 460 00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:17.680 uh, it's like it's an independent movie. It's you know, it's it's 461 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.200 not the kind of movie that's gonna make more than maybe a couple million bucks 462 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.240 if that, and that's on the strength of Ben Kingsley alone and his name 463 00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:30.440 recognition. Jane Curtin also stars. It's a movie for adults. It's one 464 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.400 of those movies that you could wait till it goes on streaming, which to 465 00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.960 be about two weeks probably, And not that it's bad, but it's just, 466 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:42.480 first of all, it's it's an odd movie for Ben Kingsley to sign 467 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:46.079 on to. I'm not exactly quite sure why he did, even though I 468 00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:52.039 actually talked to him about it and he said he really liked the character and 469 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.440 it was much different than the last guy he played. He played Savador Dali 470 00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:59.640 in his last movie, so it is a much different, quieter character. 471 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.920 So that's why he liked the juxtaposition of that. But the film itself is 472 00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:07.920 not something you know, it's going to be forgettable after a couple of months. 473 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:12.400 Is it it like a happy heartwarming or is it a scary alien movie. 474 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.519 It's not scary. It's definitely not scary. It's it's on the edge 475 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.039 of comedy and drama where it kind of it quite doesn't know exactly what it 476 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.000 is, but it leans more towards the happy and you know, kind of 477 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:29.759 also thoughtful thinking about our place in the world and older relationships and friendships and 478 00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:34.519 things like that and how how those form, and uh, you know, 479 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.519 also are thinking about what else is out there. But it doesn't it's not 480 00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:43.920 so it's not like a sci fi alien movie so much, you know, 481 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:51.160 it's it's a little bit like a geriatric et almost, uh, is maybe 482 00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.559 the best way to describe it. Jane Kurtin also stars and Harriet Sansome Harris 483 00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:58.519 Okay, I think I'm gonna wait till it's streaming. Yeah, Okay, 484 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:05.599 So then there's another new thing streaming on Netflix called pain Killer. Yeah. 485 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.960 And if you saw Dope Sick on Hulu last year, I did not, 486 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:15.360 which was about the opioid crisis in the Sackler family. It started Michael Keaton 487 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:19.559 and a bunch of other big ensemble cast got a bunch of Emmy nominations. 488 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.519 This is that story as well, but told in a very different way. 489 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.719 So if you saw Dope Sick, you can still watch Painkiller, I think, 490 00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.000 and not feel like you're going over the exact same ground, although it 491 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:37.320 is the very similar story of It's a sixth episode mini series about the Sackler 492 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:42.320 family and the rise of the opioid epidemic and the creation of OxyContin and what 493 00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:45.440 that has led to in the United States and who's the sack family. Well, 494 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.400 I'm sorry, who's the Sackler family. Oh, the Sacler family is 495 00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:57.199 the ones behind Perdue Pharma and they created OxyContin and they're also in litigation right 496 00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:00.360 now over all of that, several lawsuits in you know, they're going back 497 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:07.519 and forth, and a lot of people blame them for the opioid crisis and 498 00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.519 the deaths and getting people addicted to drugs, because not only were they did 499 00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:15.400 they make this drug, but they were very as you see in this series, 500 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:21.760 very savvy at marketing it to doctors and getting people to use it and 501 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:25.880 getting doctors to prescribe it when maybe they didn't necessarily need to. Again, 502 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:29.960 a lot of that is up for litigation right now. I think that judge 503 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.440 just rejected a settlement on it, yes, exactly. So you know, 504 00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.639 it's very much, very timely, very much in the news, and this 505 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:43.880 series is very good also at going into everything. Matthew Broderick plays one of 506 00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.760 the sacular nephews, the guy who is credited with creating OxyContin or at least 507 00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:54.119 pushing Perdue Armac to make OxyContin. Uzo Dubas stars as a prosecutor, kind 508 00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:59.840 of a smaller time prosecutor who was looking into the beginning of this and kind 509 00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:06.039 of following the threads and we kind of see things through her eyes. It's 510 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.280 a very it's a strong series. My only little quibble is it's directed by 511 00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:13.559 Peter Berg, who's done Friday Night Lights and a bunch of other things and 512 00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.679 also as an actor as well. He tries to get a little too flashy 513 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.199 with his directing, a little too cool, which, given the mean, 514 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:27.239 given the very serious subject matter, it comes off as a little strange, 515 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:30.639 you know, instead of kind of just going straight ahead and straightforward with it. 516 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:37.679 You know, there's cuts and you know, the cool imagery and things 517 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:42.719 like that, which is which it's I think it's him flexing a little bit 518 00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.559 and it's a minor thing, but it just struck me as a little bit 519 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:51.519 weird given how serious the subject matter is. Yeah, I think something that's 520 00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:52.840 really interesting. And I don't know, because I didn't see Dope Stick. 521 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:57.320 Was that a movie? It was a serious It was also a serious Yeah, 522 00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:59.760 and you said this one is a six episode series. I think some 523 00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:05.239 of these streaming series are so fascinating because it allows them to dig deeper into 524 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.599 something as opposed to cramming it all into an hour and a half or two 525 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:13.519 hours. Yeah, I think I'm loving streaming. Yeah, it really is. 526 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:15.079 It really is good. And some some you know, you'll you'll hear 527 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.239 the phrase a lot, Well, it's it's it's it's actually a six hour 528 00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:23.480 movie or it's actually an eight hour movie, which I know some people who 529 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:27.360 do what I do for a living, they hate that term. You know, 530 00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.840 a TV show is structured in a very different way than a movie, 531 00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.960 and the two are very different things. But for the viewer, yeah, 532 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.519 when you're when when something is done well, and you also get a lot 533 00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:44.960 more context than you would in something that is shorter. I think it is 534 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.639 definitely beneficial, and I think it is definitely very interesting to watch. And 535 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.719 a story like this which is so big, right, I mean it covers 536 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:57.679 so much ground and goes back to the fifties and the start of Purdue Pharma 537 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:02.159 and the start of marketing of Meta and those kinds of things. It takes 538 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:06.480 a while to tell that kind of story. Okay, perfect, Thanks for 539 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.360 the update, Jason. So I'm staying at home until Jules comes out, 540 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.280 but I can go ahead and watch Painkiller now. Sure sounds like a good 541 00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.400 plan. Okay, fabulous, Have a wonderful weekend. Take care. Okay, 542 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:19.760 Hey, I gotta mentioned before we run. I can't believe the hour 543 00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.920 is up already. Weird Barbie. Remember Weird Barbie. If you haven't seen 544 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:29.159 the movie yet, you're probably alone. But Weird Barbie is. She's got 545 00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.960 her hair all funky, and she's got painting on her face and she does 546 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:37.079 the splits. So now Mattel is making an actual Weird Barbie. It's a 547 00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:42.880 real life available to buy. It's a limited edition features a bright pink dress 548 00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:47.400 with colorful artwork and puffy sleeves. Snake skin boots that are green and markings 549 00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:51.159 on her face to emulate a doll that's been played with a little too much. 550 00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:52.320 So if you don't want to actually play with your doll too much, 551 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.960 you can go buy a weird barbie. And I just saw a picture of 552 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.920 her. It's actually very cute and it's a fifty bucks so you haven't tell 553 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.880 August eighteenth to get it because again it is a limited edition. And one 554 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.000 last note, El Segundo All Stars. They're playing for a spot in the 555 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:14.039 Little League World Series tonight. The game is on ESPN or you can go 556 00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.920 cheer on the team because it's being played at Al Houghton Stadium. I'm not 557 00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:21.480 sure if I'm pronouncing that right in San Bernardino. Again. The game is 558 00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:25.039 at six. They're representing southern California and hopefully on their way to the Little 559 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.199 World Little League World Series.
