It's my final on air broadcast after thirty years. Guys, this 12 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:59.799 is creeping me out. I just randomly cry, and I was full in 13 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.880 it together. I actually tucked away in the entire drive in so all like 14 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.640 fifty minutes this morning. And then I get here to the studio and I'm 15 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.799 walking down the hall and I can see these two things of cupcakes right, 16 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.719 and I'm like, oh my gosh, and Michelle had like taken pictures of 17 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.760 me and put them on things saying, you know, congratulations, we miss 18 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.239 you, blah blah blah. And then I turn and walk into the studio. 19 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:30.040 The studio is decorated with banners that say cheers and these little silver curly 20 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.439 cues all over the place that's super feminine, with like pink and peach balloons. 21 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:42.400 There are flowers everywhere in the studio for me. All right. If 22 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.480 you just hear random tears, it's me or random bits of silence, that's 23 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:53.000 what it is. I say thank you to each and every one of you 24 00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:00.680 who have let me into your homes for the last seven years. And I 25 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.159 don't know what we're I don't know what.

And I'm more humbled than I 31 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.560 think I've ever been in my life. I'm gonna shut up for a minute 32 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.080 and talk about some news, because, after all, I want my last 33 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.080 broadcast to be, you know, somewhat informative, right. The governor set 34 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.080 aside two hundred and eighty eight million dollars for drought and flood projects in the 35 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.319 state. The lap D says it's these thirty eight thousand pounds of illegal firework 36 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.560 stocked in a warehouse in South La and La Pride is ready to take over 37 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.240 the city this weekend. We've got events that start today, so let's start 38 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.439 with some of these stories coming out of the KOI twenty four hour newsroom. 39 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.520 Governor Newsom has set aside two hundred and eighty eight million. This is for 40 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.360 flood projects and drought throughout the state. The governor says forty nine and a 41 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.919 half million of that will go to conservation and supply projects in the Southland. 42 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.599 Newsom announced yesterday has planned to support drought resilience and prepare for future dry conditions. 43 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.039 The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which serves twenty six public water 44 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.439 agencies throughout six counties, will distribute the money. Ela County Waterworks will receive 45 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.919 fifteen million to reinforce the Santa Anita Dam and remove sediment, and also upgrade 46 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.120 the Dominga's Gap seawater intrusion barrier. Steve Gregory Kofinance. Truckers in LA have 47 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.800 protested a bill saying it will put thousands of independent contractors out of work. 48 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.039 The bill took effect in January of twenty twenty, with the intention of cracking 49 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:57.120 down on workers being classified as independent contractors as opposed to employees. The California 50 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.800 Trucking Associations Eric Sauer says, want to remain owner operators. They get to 51 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.439 choose the kind of loads that they want to haul, the motor carriers that 52 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.599 they want to transport freight for and it's worked out for them and their families. 53 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.159 The city yesterday said its hands are tied because of state laws and we'll 54 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.879 have to end its contract with the truckers at the end of the month. 55 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:21.000 Chris Adler KFI News. The LAPD says it sees thirty eight thousand pounds of 56 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:26.800 illegal fireworks stopped in a warehouse in South La. LA City Fire Department Captain 57 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.959 Eric Scott says with the fourth of July approaching, he wants the public to 58 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.920 remember how terrifying. Illegal fireworks can be our neighbors are often annoyed. The 59 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.839 combat veterans feel like they're back in a war zone, and the pets they 60 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.759 don't understand what's going on. What's happening. Oh my gosh, it's so 61 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.439 true. Cases of fireworks were found earlier this year by fire inspectors during a 62 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.120 routine building screening. The LAPD says two men connected to the stash have been 63 00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:00.279 arrested and the investigation is ongoing. All right, Rick Klein, good warning 64 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.000 to you. So look at this. You're my last political hit of my 65 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:08.040 career, and I'm glad it's with you. You are the man. Oh 66 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.839 that's nice for you to say. Gratulations and welcome to a connect. Oh 67 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.040 my gosh, thank you very much. Yeah. I don't know why I 68 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.560 thought it was going to be a bright idea. Oop I did I do 69 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.519 it again? Almost to leave here and then go into management. Tell me 70 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.879 I'm not dumb. So let's you know, whatever whatever works, go go, 71 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.079 go be successful. I like that. All right. Well thanks, 72 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.720 Well it's with my family, so you know, I'm just blessed to get 73 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.079 a job in radio still and get to go see them. So former President 74 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.199 Trump says, you know, he's been telling us for a couple of weeks 75 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.600 that he's going to be indicted, and then now we learned that he has 76 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.600 been. What does this mean though, for how or if he can run, 77 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.639 Well, it doesn't actually mean anything for his ability to run, believe 78 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.240 it or not. There's nothing you law, the constitution says you can't run 79 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.399 even while under indictment. I think, practically speaking, though, he's going 80 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.639 to have court dates in Florida as well as New York, maybe in Georgia 81 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.920 too, that he's gonna have to keep a massive distraction and a bunch of 82 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.639 candidates who at least subtly are going to be making a case against him, 83 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.000 pointing out that maybe it's not a great idea for the Republican Party to ominate 84 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:14.920 someone who might be going into prison when he will. Okay, two things 85 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.439 on this. If people think he's going to prison, I bet there is 86 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:24.040 a camp of Trump's supporters who are like this just furthers our belief that this 87 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.240 has been a witch hunt all along, and might even support him more because 88 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.720 of it. Oh, totally agree. I mean, you know, I 89 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.519 think that that's almost almost inevitable. We've already seen people ralligating the defense like 90 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.079 that, Now, is that enough to win a Republican nomination? Is enough 91 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.920 to win your presidency? Those are other questions. I think there's a there's 92 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.360 a group of sup orders that definitely are taking exactly that tack, But I 93 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.639 don't know that it's going to be a sufficient mass to empower him to the 94 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.079 nomination by itself. There's going to be a lot of people saying, wait 95 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.279 a second, maybe he did some of these things, or maybe his nomination 96 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.879 would just be too much of a distraction at this time, maybe we shouldn't 97 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.240 be going down this route. But I think to your point, there's no 98 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.920 question in my mind that there's going to be people saying exactly that that this 99 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.600 shows you why we need them, not why we shouldn't have them. And 100 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.399 when it comes to those who look at this as a negative, how do 101 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.000 his opponents spin this? Well, some of them are saying basically, this 102 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.120 is a which hunt or this is politicization of the Justice Department. Asa Hutchinson's 103 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.199 the only candidate so far for saying he's got an outright drop out. Only 104 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.240 major candidate others like Chris Christie, Mike Penn's holding their fire a little bit. 105 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.759 Christie's been saying, Look, I'm a forrmal prosecutor and if these are 106 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.879 legit charges, they should be brought against anybody. But it's going to be 107 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.360 tough for them. I mean the normal times, you think they'd be making 108 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.160 lots of hay out of this, but for the zillions time, these are 109 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.360 not normal times. All right, Thank you so much, Rick, and 110 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.480 I won't talk to you again, but best of luck and the rest of 111 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.800 your career too. Same to you, all right, Thanks you too, 112 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:56.560 see you later. That is ABC's Rick Klein. All right. So people 113 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.399 have been telling me that the connection was poor on Instagram Live and I know 114 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.199 I'm getting some like weird blinking. I don't know, Tyler, and maybe 115 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.120 one of you can come in and fix this. We'll see. So this 116 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.360 is my last wake up call if you had missed the opening of the show. 117 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.680 But we still have more names for you. Over the objections of prosecutors, 118 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.120 two men involved in illegal street racing and Irvine have been granted requests to 119 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.959 go through a court ordered misdemeanor diversion program that could allow them to have their 120 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.639 charges dismissed. Prosecutors saved the twenty three year old from Laverne had a YouTube 121 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.879 channel that featured illegal street races. In oc, a thirty eight year old 122 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.559 from Irvine was charged with actually racing. A teacher in Placentia has been placed 123 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:48.000 on leave because of a leaked video of a class discussion about prostate sex vibrators 124 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.960 and finding pleasure spots. Sex is still le because that's enough. The Eldorado 125 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.879 High School teacher also talked about where to find certain sex spots and which storre 126 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.279 sell sex objects. Many parents didn't like that to satisfy needs that they had 127 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.039 no idea of learning from an educator. Teachers have an obligation to draw the 128 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.759 line at questions in which students ask, but many parents this week also supported 129 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.240 the teacher. She was answering the question in as good a faith as you 130 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.240 can to keep them from having to google its. Let's enter your Belinda school 131 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.879 districts as teachers must keep classroom discussions appropriate. In Placentia. Corbin Carson k 132 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.639 if I News, I'd like to go back to the target comment that she 133 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:33.399 made. Is anybody target sells that? Now? I mean, maybe I'm 134 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.279 usually in the clothing department or something, but very weird, very very weird, 135 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.799 had no idea. At least fourteen people have been killed and thousands of 136 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.960 people are believed to be trapped by floodwaters in Ukraine after that catastrophic dam collapse, 137 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.200 residents say relief efforts have been slow. Officials say more than six thousand 138 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.240 people have left dozens of cities, towns, and villages on both sides of 139 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.279 the river. Tens of thousands are without drinking water, and two giant inflatable 140 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:09.039 ducks have landed in Hong Kong's been Victoria Harbor. This is all for the 141 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:15.360 return of a pop art project that was halted during the pandemic. It's two 142 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:20.399 eighteen meter tall yellow ducks that were created to resemble, right, like the 143 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.080 bath ducks that you know for kids, the rubber duckies. Yeah, rubber 144 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:31.159 duckies, and that was the Undies, right. The artist says he hopes 145 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.840 his art will bring joy to the city. Local residents say that they are 146 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.480 happy the ducks are coming back following a long winter.

But what 151 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.840 am I gonna do? It would just go put it wet in mothballs. 152 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.799 No, So it's gonna be fine. And whoever takes it over, I've 153 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.240 heard the list of people that are being considered, and I'm like, who 154 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.879 cares. They're all amazing. So you guys will like who comes in after 155 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.120 me? I promise.

When we went to the Bruno Mars concert and Michelle 169 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.600 was in there, I told this off on Instagram Live. We are Instagram 170 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.519 Live this morning, by the way, and I was telling everybody how Michelle, 171 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.320 when I first got here, took me to a Bruno Mars concert where 172 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.200 there were just a few hundred of us and we got to like pack this 173 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.600 ballroom at San Manuel Surf and Turf dinner. It was freaking amazing. And 174 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.559 then just like you felt one on one with Brute. It was so good. 175 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.240 It was awesome. So you from the start have been the producer of 176 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.960 Wake Up Call. I have been here from the start. And tell me 177 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.399 what your favorite parts over the last seven years? Had I have two? 178 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.519 I have two favorite parts. Okay, one the first day you did Wake 179 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:50.639 Up Call solo because it was kind of a giant mess before that I have 180 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.519 always appreciated the positivity that you've been able to start the day with. I 181 00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:00.840 think that's such an important thing. And the brightness of your voice in the 182 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.159 morning as soon as we hear it. I mean, it's just it's unlike 183 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.559 anything I've ever worked with before, because I'm used to working with pretty negative 184 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.519 people. See who did you work with? So that was first and foremost 185 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.559 is the thing that I'm gonna miss the most. I Mean, I know 186 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.840 people knew people will bring new things into wake Up Call, but that's the 187 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.639 one thing. It was day one when you did Wake Up Call alone, 188 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.600 I kind of knew what was going to be a different era and I was 189 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.600 so proud of that. And the biggest thing that I'm proud of, you 190 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.000 know, of the show and you is the spotlight you've been able to put 191 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.960 on animal issues, which I think is such a huge thing and a lot 192 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.399 of our hosts don't like to cover that stuff because it's sometimes really hard to 193 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.639 talk about. And the work that we have done, and especially you have 194 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.720 done for the Wiggle Waggle Walk, which I think has just become some huge 195 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.960 thing for us, and I'm gonna miss that, and I'm hoping to keep 196 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.519 it in as in a different way. Yeah. Um, And of course 197 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.279 have you come down and be like our star. I would love it, 198 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.679 Michelle. I could have done that without you. Oh, thank you and 199 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:09.000 I are a team on that from the beginning. Honestly, your positivity and 200 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.360 your voice in the morning. I'm gonna miss it the most. I'm gonna 201 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.480 miss you the MOUs I know I'm gonna cry, my girlfriend, I know 202 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.360 me too, all right, I'm not crying. It's not about me, 203 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.200 It's about the show. Yes, Now, I got to go back to 204 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.240 work. I love you back. I love you too, all right. 205 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.320 Bye, Tyler. So you've been on the show for two years, almost 206 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.200 a full two years. Yep. When you and I started working together, 207 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.080 where you like, what in the hell is this show? Or who is 208 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.000 this? Check? Look, I'd be lying if I said that wasn't my 209 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.279 instant reaction, but not a feeling. It didn't take me very long to 210 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.559 warm up to it, though. I think the hardest part still remains that, 211 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.960 you know, I gotta wake up at the time I gotta wake up 212 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:56.000 at to be here. But it's been great. It's been great with you. 213 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.840 Great. What you guys might not know is Tyler might have the most 214 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.679 wicked sense of humor of anybody I have ever met. And I've told everybody 215 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.960 in my family, my friend's up north where I'm heading to Redding, that 216 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.399 Tyler is my work husband. And because I think we fight like a married 217 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.879 couple, and yet when we like get at each other, then we also 218 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.080 know how to like recover from it. And it's snarky and usually it's an 219 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.080 f you know, fu, and then we love each other again. Yeah, 220 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.240 we typically only have about two to three minutes to fight, and then 221 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.279 we gotta you know, lock it back in and pretend like we like each 222 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.080 other exactly. So I love you, Thank you for everything, Thank you 223 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.600 for everything. You know, when I first started here, I had no 224 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.879 experience in this line of work, so I don't want to spoil too much 225 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.600 of what I put in your card, but a lot of who I am 226 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.600 is thanks to you. Oh my gosh, all right, you stop now, 227 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.360 Okay, I'm stopping you stop. Yeah, husband's don't get that much 228 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:56.480 time. And so everybody watching Instagram Live, I am taking the camera and 229 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.559 sort of pushing it all around my zoom screen so you can see everybody. 230 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.279 And I am so sorry that you and I are not going to get more 231 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.559 of a chance to work together. Side about this because I just got here 232 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.480 right, I'm about my fourth month in and I remember the first time I 233 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.519 met you. I thought we were sitting in a conference room and I'm like, 234 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:22.360 this girl's cool. I like her. And as the days went on 235 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.320 and we're here at you know, four in the morning. Are you come 236 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.039 bopping in every morning with your cute little outfits on, with all your energy, 237 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.639 And we just started talking about a lot of things, a personal stuff, 238 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.039 and I'm like, I want to hang out with this girl, like 239 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.240 we're kind of cut from the same cloth. Yeah, and we're going to 240 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.360 have a really awesome friendship. Yes we are. And now you're leaving me 241 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.360 though, now I'm leaving you. But now I'm also heading to reading and 242 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.279 I have plenty of room. I have a whole like guest room bathroom area 243 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.360 with Anne's name written on it. Oh my god, I'm totally coming and 244 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.799 I'm bringing the horse. My name was written on it. Can you guys 245 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.480 share the room? No? I thought that room was for me. Wait 246 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:11.920 being sharp? Good morning, What an awesome surprise. Thank you for checking 247 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.119 in early. How could I not have been listening from the very first second. 248 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.880 You know, when you and I first started, we were very close 249 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.240 in space, because how long have you been here? Just? Yeah, 250 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.119 almost seven years. That's the same amount of time, man. Yeah, 251 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.640 we were just a few months apart. And what I loved about working with 252 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.480 you was that, seriously, I had no idea how much fun you could 253 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.440 make. Literally, like, let's talk about a wall today, and I'd 254 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.720 be like, all right, I don't know what we're going to talk about. 255 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.960 You have You have inspired me in a lot of ways to things that 256 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.519 I thought might not be like the most fun topic or whatever. Oh my 257 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:53.240 gosh, you make it fun, you make it informative, and I just 258 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.799 deans as a person. You and Tina were two of the brightest spots at 259 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.279 this station and still are. Oh well, can I tell you this? 260 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.480 Can I take a second to tell you this? Yeah. There are people 261 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.440 who I think try to dazzle us in this industry, and there are people 262 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.799 who intimidate us in the world. There are people who project themselves like they're 263 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.000 on a whole different level. And you would think that those people are like 264 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:23.599 the most important people. But I think the most important people in places of 265 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:30.559 attention and influence are warm, real relatable people who make us feel like we're 266 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:36.759 home, and you are those kind of people. That's the kindest thing you 267 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.759 could say. Seriously, thank you so much for saying that. Well, 268 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.079 it's been it's such a pleasure to just, you know, start the day 269 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.440 with you every Friday morning. Eddy, I remember too. I'm Tiary by 270 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.160 the way, and yes, that was a big old sigh of like, 271 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.400 suck it in, kid, pull it together. I remember you would listen 272 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.400 early in the mornings and you would text me or instagram me like, hey, 273 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.960 I'm listening, and I just remember being like, I don't know if 274 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.240 anybody else is listening out there, but Dean is. So I'm talking to 275 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.240 you Dean when I do the show this morning. And Tina would text me 276 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.599 like, you know, good luck and whatever. I adore you to Dean 277 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.200 and I are going to talk in home theaters in just a second, and 278 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.119 so we'll get into that. But you're leaving though on a topic that oh 279 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.839 I love. I love watching TV at home. There you go, so 280 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.519 you can set up my new place. How's that sounds great? And Aaron 281 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.920 and Nate, I have you both in here, and Aaron and Nate are 282 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.720 newer, and I haven't been able to work with both of you much, 283 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:38.119 but Michelle was talking about positivity a few minutes ago, and the smiles on 284 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.720 both of your faces are the things that I've loved the best about the two 285 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.319 of you. Ah, that's so nice. And Aaron, you are a 286 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.240 kick ass writer. Oh thank you. And seriously, it's hard in the 287 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:55.319 news business when an anchor has to trust. So Aaron writes it, I 288 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.119 read it, and there's there's a trust factor that has to happen there. 289 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.160 And Aaron you like you got my trust from day one. Oh thank you. 290 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.279 That means so much. I love writing for you. Well, it's 291 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:10.119 been great. And Nate, I'm only sorry that I'm leaving before I get 292 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.640 a chance to work with you as a producer of wake Up Call. Yeah 293 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.720 that's a okay. I've gotten to get to know you around the new station, 294 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.759 and I just want to say you're incredibly warm and kind, and I'm 295 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.680 sure the listeners that have listened to you for a long time they have the 296 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.880 impression that you're a very nice and sweet and warm person. But let me 297 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.960 just tell you, guys, she's even nicer off air in person. If 298 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.079 you can believe that. Yes, agreed, you guys are amazing.

I am moving to reading on Saturday next week. That's 313 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.279 where my family is. And I've told you before that my dad got sick 314 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.319 about a year ago and he's doing okay now. But somebody asked me because 315 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.119 they saw that I have a new boyfriend online and they said, are you 316 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.039 you must be moving home for that guy, and I said, it's true. 317 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.039 I am moving home for a man.

And I got a job in radio up 321 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:02.200 there, so I'm going home thirty years after I left. I get to 322 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.400 go back to the place where I started, and I just feel incredibly blessed 323 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.839 and I'm gonna cry. So we're gonna go to break and then Dean Sharpe's 324 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.599 coming up in just a second to talk home theaters.

Love Love, Love Me some 365 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.759 you and I don't want to take away from the information that you have on 366 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.559 home theaters. Handel has this like fancy freaking home theater at his house. 367 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.920 My home theater is my couch in a big screen TV and a soundbar. 368 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.279 Yeah, yeah, you know what. We can talk home theaters anytime. 369 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:03.720 Let's talk about what's really important. What got you girl? You it is 370 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.680 crazy? I uh so, just the backstory here. This all started, 371 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:15.599 like I said about it was Christmas of twenty twenty one. Yeah, so 372 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.599 it was two days after Christmas. Scott and I were in Florida and I 373 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:26.319 got a call from my brother who was bawling, and he said, Dad's 374 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.079 defibrillator. So we have a genetic heart condition in our family. Dad's defibrillator 375 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.839 went off twenty seven times, so to be honest, he should not have 376 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:40.880 survived that. And thanks to light a cane, which is what they ended 377 00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:45.839 up injecting in him, then his heart like went back into rhythm and it 378 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.519 stopped shocking him, which was amazing. But it was that moment where I 379 00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.559 remember thinking to myself, like what am I doing? I you know, 380 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:56.839 I said it before. I mean, yes, I love my mom, 381 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.119 but I admit I'm a daddy's girl, you know, take me fishing and 382 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:07.000 all kinds of stuff. And so when that when that happened in December, 383 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.480 my grandmother passed away in April, Scott and I decided to divorce in May, 384 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.640 and all of a sudden, it's like, holy hell, what am 385 00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.519 I doing with my life? And I remember after Christmas this year we celebrated 386 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.799 Dad's I like to think that it's like Dad's first birthday, right where he 387 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.000 came back from the brink of death and everything is good. And they left, 388 00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.799 they left, and I was like, you know what, I gotta 389 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.119 go home. And I started kind of putting it into the universe. And 390 00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:38.839 I feel so blessed that I got a gig. My uncle had a house 391 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:44.240 available for me to rent. I've I've now told you guys, I have 392 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.759 a boyfriend who actually somebody just asked me who he is, and Dean he 393 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.119 is my old college boyfriend. That's what I heard. Yeah, he's amazing 394 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.720 and I can't wait for you to meet him. He's so we worked at 395 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.960 Coleman Fish Hatchery for twenty seven years, which was his Joel dream. I 396 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.240 mean, he really like he's a fish farmer. It's so cool. I 397 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.119 never even like thought of it that way. But you know, just like 398 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.240 we talked about crops of wine or whatever, that's what Jason does. So 399 00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.720 his name is Jason Folks. We had a like lecture hall class together. 400 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.160 He sent his friend John over to like introduce himself to me and was like, 401 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.599 hey, why you meet my buddy. And so we were together probably 402 00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.799 eight months or so there, and then recently reconnected on Facebook, found out 403 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:29.279 we were both single. Dipped our too in that water and look at that. 404 00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:30.680 So now I have a job, I go home to my family, 405 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.839 a house, and a boyfriend. You know, it's just it's one of 406 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:40.240 those counterintuitive things in one sense, you know, career wise, when you 407 00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.400 think about, come on, you're in LA you made it to the show. 408 00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:47.680 Yes, But the fact of the matter is, it's just it's so 409 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:55.960 you. It's so brilliant. It's so wonderful to know somebody who can look 410 00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:57.200 at their lives and say, hey, you know what, these are the 411 00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.240 priorities, These are the things that are most important to me. And I 412 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:06.519 have no doubt I have no doubt that there's just nothing but goodness and success 413 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.759 as the day's roll. For the only reason I'm holding it together, Jen 414 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.319 is because I know that this is not the last that you and I are 415 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.519 hanging out. Okay, no chance. So so, because I love northern 416 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:23.000 California, You've already invited us up. We are totally coming up there. 417 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.119 We spent a lot of time up there. I've got two of my dearest 418 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.279 friends on the planet live in Chico. We're up in Chico all the time. 419 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:37.200 Perfect. I fish Shasta every chance I get, and so so we're 420 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.519 there, We're so there. And so I'm just gonna keep telling myself, 421 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.599 yeah, donut, no, no, no, right, see, now 422 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:49.880 you're going to fish Shasta with like mister fishing. I want a complete tour 423 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:55.160 the hatchery. Oh my god, the hatchery is amazing, and I literally 424 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.119 he has loved it. He was volunteering. I think even when we were 425 00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:02.160 in college together. He took so much pride in that. So he retired 426 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:06.000 from the hatchery only to go to Shasta dam So I talked to him last 427 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:07.400 night. I'm like, what were you doing? He goes pressure washing the 428 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.880 damn who gets to do that? You know, like Shasta. Is it 429 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.799 like a ninety nine percent capacity? Yes, yeah, it is full to 430 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.960 the bull room. Yeah. My cousins have houseboats, so we can grab 431 00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:22.160 that anytime.

It's it's sugar lemons probably probably sugar and lemons. 498 00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.559 I mean that's there's not really much. There's not much too lemonade. I 499 00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:53.119 mean good quality ice always helps. Honestly funny enough, but uh, and 500 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:59.840 and good quality lemons. But it's it's really it's really sugar as well. 501 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.599 Okay, who started when you're in nineteen ninety seven? Do you know who 502 00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.760 was like, I know what we should do have a lemon festival. I 503 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:13.639 honestly don't know that history. Maybe I should I apologize on that, but 504 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.079 it's not like I know exactly the history of this place either, so don't 505 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:21.679 worry. Yeah, but okay, what is the one thing, Steve, 506 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:29.639 that you look forward to most about the Upland Lemon Festival every year. I 507 00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:34.480 like seeing the crowds. I like seeing the happy families. I like seeing 508 00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:40.360 people having a great time. I liked seeing the businesses all participate and deck 509 00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:45.840 out there. You know, they're the front windows of their stores and lemon 510 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.920 theme and have certain kind of lemon specials and things like that. And it's 511 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.760 just get the whole community together, and you know, I think it supports 512 00:35:54.800 --> 00:36:00.239 the local downtown business and growth there and really just show cases what Upland has 513 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.880 to offer. And it's it's really cool to see, all right. If 514 00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.199 people want the information, if they're listening right now and they can't jot it 515 00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:13.480 down, where can they go later? Upland Lemon Festival dot com and it 516 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:17.840 has all sorts of information on how to get there. I would like to 517 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.639 say that Omni Ride has given a discount for Upland residents to get there, 518 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:28.840 and Metrolink has given us fifty percent off all weekend for Metrolink riders to get 519 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.679 to Upland Lemon festivals. Oh, I love that. That's perfect so anybody, 520 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:35.360 you have no excuse now, and the weather's going to be great this 521 00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:39.440 weekend, no excuse whatsoever. Yeah, it's it's going to be great weather. 522 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:45.000 Last year was very hot, upper nineties and such, and this year's 523 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:51.239 beautiful seventy five seventy degrees. You are awesome, Steve. I'm jealous. 524 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:52.920 I'm jealous of your gig.

I live in Fontana right now, so you're 528 00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:07.920 not that far. So I'll sneak over there. Maybe go to Chuck's Tacos 529 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:12.079 on my way home. The puffy taco there is my favorite. And yeah, 530 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:14.519 and I'll have my lemonade that I'll take with me to wash it down. 531 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.280 That's perfect.
