The guys also accused of assaulting another elderly man 43 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.039 last week, just moments before the murder. The Ell Kenny Sheriff's Department hasn't 44 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:36.560 released the accused killer's name because they say they are still investigating several wildfires they're 45 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.560 burning across northern California.

Local, state, and federal authorities 53 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.720 now involved in the search, warning residents to stay on the lookout.

You're always going to 75 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.800 find something that you're in the mood for. Right.

Okay, So let's talk about the food because 79 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.839 when this when this first started, like ten eleven, twelve years ago, 80 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.680 was really an Asian night market. Correct is modeled after what they do over 81 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.839 in Asia, that's right. And we've brought it over to the US, 82 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.319 right, we did, and since then it's really expanded it a lot. 83 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:35.399 Yes, we've expanded a lot. So aside from obviously just the scale of 84 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.680 this festival, we've been adding vendors every single year. We're up to three 85 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.800 hundred vendors at each location now, yeah, and like two, yes, 86 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.240 two hundred food booths and then about one hundred food merchant arts are merchant art 87 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.720 specifically, and then two hundred foods specifically.

Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 150 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.799 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Torrential rains have caused tens of thousands of people 151 00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.480 at the Burning Man Festival to spend more time than expected in Nevada as Black 152 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.000 Rock Desert. ABC's Morgan Norwood says all the rain Friday and Saturday turned the 153 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.279 solid ground into a big old muddy mess, some choosing to leave by any 154 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.960 means necessary with the roads closed and the nearest paved road five miles away, 155 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.879 some having to make the truck by foot, including comedian Chris Romp and celebrity 156 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:26.159 DJ Diplow. Event organizers shut down the festival to cars after one death was 157 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.080 reported.

I'm sleeping in a tent in a very muddy area, 162 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.639 so we're most of our stuff is kind of wet at the bottom, 163 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.120 and there's mud, and getting in my tent is like a nightmare. Yeah, 164 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.559 obviously that person thought it was pretty bad. Another Burning Man fans said 165 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.279 he'd never seen anything like the weekend rain at the festival, and because roads 166 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.240 were closed, people couldn't get out. Some people were literally putting like plastic 167 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:15.200 bags over their shoes and hiking out to the nearest town. A businessman and 168 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:20.519 philanthropists from la is one of five people nominated by President Biden as US representatives 169 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.559 to the un Jeffrey Worth is president of Worth Real Estate Group.

Things got kind 171 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.440 of chaotic at an electric music festival in New York. ABC's Mark Remillard says 172 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.679 the Electric Zoo Festival in New York City had several issues, starting on Friday, 173 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.519 when that night's event was canceled because the main stage wasn't ready. Then 174 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:50.200 Saturday's events started two hours late. By Sunday, frustrations boiled over after the 175 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.879 venue reached capacity and organizers turned people away, even some who had tickets. 176 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.919 That's when videos showed fans pushing through the gates and rushing their way in gates. 177 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.440 He says, organizers have promised refunds to those who couldn't get in. 178 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.559 So festivals from coast to coast had some issues, apparently over this weekend. 179 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.799 Hey, this is sort of an interesting side effect of Hurricane Adalia. Some 180 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.559 flamingos have caught a ride to the US. My mother would be going crazy 181 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.600 for this. She's a big flamingo person. So flamingos are showing up on 182 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:28.159 the mainland of the US, which their native to the Yucatan in Mexico. 183 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.759 But apparently they catch a ride in the hurricane, whether they want it or 184 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.399 not, and birdwatchers say they've been seeing them all over the place, So 185 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.960 they spotted some in Florida, so that's kind of understandable because that's where the 186 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:45.720 storm hit, right But by Saturday, three days after the hurricane made landfall, 187 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.639 flamingo sidings are being reported in Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, 188 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:56.679 Virginia, and even Hawaii. They don't live here, but apparently they're 189 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.440 here now and the birdwatchers are very excited about it, and they don't know 190 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.759 what's exactly going to happen, because the flamingos could kind of make their way 191 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.240 back down to the Yucatan, but a lot of people are saying they hope 192 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.039 they kind of decide to hang out and if there's enough of them who made 193 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.039 it here, they might be able to nest here and start a new population, 194 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.159 because flamingos used to be native to Florida, but their population was pretty 195 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.919 much a demist decimated by the plume trade back in the eighteen hundreds and early 196 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:30.759 nineteen hundreds. Way to go people, So they haven't been here for a 197 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.919 while, but maybe they're back, and they're pink, and they're beautiful and 198 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.200 isn't it great. About five to six thousand people are expected for the forty 199 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.159 fourth La Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition Parade and picnic Rally in Wilmington. It's 200 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:50.440 built as the largest West Coast Labor Day solidarity parade begins in ten. Wildfires 201 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.919 continue to burn across northern California. They ranged from between four four thousand to 202 00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:00.480 the state's largest in del nort County at eighty four thousand. That fire started 203 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.120 about two weeks ago. It's just nine percent contained. Three astronauts and a 204 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.720 Russian cosmonaut have returned to Earth after spending about six months on the International Space 205 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:13.679 Station. A SpaceX capsule splashed down off the coast of Florida early this morning 206 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.679 at six oh five. Is handled on the news getting snap benefits will no 207 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.200 longer be a snap. Wayne's going to tell you about that handles off by 208 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.679 the way. Today for Labor Day, it is a big day for barbecue. 209 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.840 And what's better than a good steak. Well, the chef of a 210 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.639 well known steakhouse in downtown LA says when it comes to grilling steaks, people 211 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.120 tend to overdo it. Oh. Marie Williams says people need to stick to 212 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.879 the basics. First mistake is one not having a clean grill still having last 213 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.960 year leftover food stuck on there. Williams, who's the executive chef of The 214 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.440 Palm in downtown LA, says the second mistake has to do with the temperature 215 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.279 of the grow. You need to have a hot side of the grill and 216 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.120 a cooler side, so that way you can control the temperature of your meats 217 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.200 or grills. Somethings you want directly on the heat, and somethings you want 218 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.440 off like what we call indirect heat. Chef william says he uses the high 219 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.120 heat for things it's like vegetables and the cooler side for a reverse sere. 220 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.679 So I like to cook it at first a little bit off of the direct 221 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.559 heat to kind of get it to that temperature and then at the last minute, 222 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.720 I'm going to put it to the hot side so I can get that 223 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.519 nice char and get the caramelization of the natural sugars inside the meat. And 224 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.279 what about the top mistake people make when it comes to seasoning. People overseason 225 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.960 it and thinking that they need to add every little thing from their cabinet, 226 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:22.960 like I need to add this salt, I need to add carlic cock, 227 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.120 I need to that. They're like they've been watching so many television shows when 228 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.120 you can just realistically just add if you have a nice steak, all you 229 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.960 need to salt and peper. And what are the proper temperatures? If you're 230 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.799 looking for a medium rare, you're gonna look anywhere between probably around one twenty 231 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:41.759 five to one thirty medium between one thirty one forty one forty to one fifty. 232 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.360 You're looking at around medium well and anything over one fifty five you're pretty 233 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.879 much well done. And if you don't have a meat thermometer, handy Chef 234 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.320 Williams has a couple of tricks to check the town. You know, if 235 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.720 it has give, then it says if you can like push your finger through 236 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.480 it, you're more at the rare, and as it kind of gets tougher 237 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:57.600 to like push all the way down through it, you start to come up 238 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.240 to medium rare to the medium and then once you get the well done, 239 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.000 there will be no give in the middle of the like of the fattiest part 240 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.200 of the meat, there'll be no there will be no give to the actual 241 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.880 touch of the meat. Or you can do another little trick that I have. 242 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.640 If you have like a thermometer, safety pin or something, you can 243 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.039 stick it in the middle of it and then put it on your hand and 244 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:23.960 if I touch if it's cold, you know it's rare. Chef Williams took 245 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.200 the time to cook me at three four ounce prime New York tomahawk. The 246 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.839 perfect cut. What I wish would say is the chef's cut. Most chefs 247 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.759 love ribby, and you want to get a bone in, so if you're 248 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.599 your first time, because it's more forgiving. So if you're not really sure 249 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.200 about your temperatures and you overcook it, if you have a better chance of 250 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.240 having that more delicious cut of meat. So I would always recommend something with 251 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.720 a bone. When you're done cooking that steak, what should be the next 252 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.480 up you hear a lot about it resting and whatnotes you should. You want 253 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:49.920 to let it rest for the same amount of time you cooked. You cooked 254 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.960 it. So if you're took you ten ten minutes for your steak to cook, 255 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.640 you should let it rest for ten minutes. That's a rule of thumb. 256 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.319 So it's a nice amount because your stak doesn't need to be served like 257 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.279 piping high. Now you can let it rest and then like flash it back 258 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:03.279 on the hot real real quick, just to you know, get it hot. 259 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.039 Get it hot if you like your steak really hot, but you definitely 260 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:08.240 want to let it rest for the same amount of time you tip the cook. 261 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:18.119 Let's get you. So, where's my steak sauce? Steak does not 262 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.039 need steak sauce. I think that's a big man. I think people love 263 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.799 to drown it in a one and now you're just tasting a one sauce, 264 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.359 which is not bad. A one is good. But I think as if 265 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.319 you're a person that's willing to go to medium, rare or even medium, 266 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.519 you'll find that the steak alone is juicy enough. I like bernese Bernes is 267 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.680 different. That's not steak sauce. Well, okay, but I dip a 268 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.279 little bit in there. Oh you like Berneses. Okay, yeah, okay, 269 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.400 it's not I mean Berne's it's delicious. I prefer just actually horse radish 270 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.039 too. Horse radish is good. You're right, I'm sorry. William says 271 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.079 he was thirteen years old when he cooked his very first steak. I did 272 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.200 it in the broiler and it was unfos well done. I didn't really know 273 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.000 what I was doing, but I've met I ate it any when I was 274 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:00.119 a kid, so but I didn't come out of the way I wanted it. 275 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.799 It was delicious still, I mean, I ate it all. Plus 276 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.720 the Friday Gone. He just made it like my own lost thirteen. What 277 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.039 would you know. I wouldn't know. I had no clue. I didn't 278 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.240 know anything about temperatures. I just put it in the broiler and it's like, 279 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.720 oh, this looks good, and it came out of it. Now 280 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.440 I look back at was it was definitely well done, but probably still smoking 281 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.279 the house. It was definitely smoke alarm. We're definitely about to go off 282 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.960 anytime soon in downtown LA. For a wake up call, I'm Steve Gregory 283 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.920 came if I news. Steve gets all the really tough assignments. Doesn't he 284 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:32.000 a thirty four ounce steak? Oh my gosh? And then the sounds of 285 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.240 that grilling yeah makes me hungry at five thirty in the morning. Let's get 286 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:37.839 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 287 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.720 Employees had a family owned jewelry store now Monty have fought off a petty 288 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:48.559 big would be smash and grab robber. An employee at Maze's jewelry store tells 289 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:55.119 KTLA the husky thief walked in Saturday, sprayed bear repellent and shattered display cases. 290 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.119 He had the hammer on the hyne and the other high. He has 291 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.559 a purper spray, so have purper spray everyone in the ice and on the 292 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.000 air. Sanajano School fight him back, but the workers did fight back in 293 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.119 defense of a family member. Three guys hit and kicked the robber near the 294 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.640 entrance. One of them beat the guy with a long stick, and other 295 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.839 pulled the guy's shirt off as he ran out of the store, pulling up 296 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:17.799 his pants as he was chased out. He got away in a gray Dodge 297 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.000 Charger. Several cars in a two story garage have been damaged by fire in 298 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.680 LA's Beverly Crest neighborhood. The fire was reported about one thirty this morning. 299 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.680 Firefighters were able to keep it from spreading to the twenty four hundred square foot 300 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:36.240 hillside home. A company called California Forever says it has bought fifty thousand acres 301 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:40.559 worth of land in an eastern part of Salona County for a new dream city. 302 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.519 The area is just outside San Francisco. The company was founded by a 303 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.920 former Goldman Sachs trader in twenty seventeen and is supported by several tech billionaires. 304 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:55.000 Its website says it's a chance for a new community, good paying local jobs, 305 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.000 solar farms and open space. And I'm sure I can't afford it. 306 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.920 I love the music of this man, and you have a chance to see 307 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:14.440 him perform live this weekend in Thousand Oaks and Santa Clarita. I can't stand 308 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:27.200 to fly. I'm not there nine. I'm just to fine the better part 309 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:33.599 of me. I'm more than a bar. You're waking up to. Grammy 310 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:41.240 nominated Platinum selling artists five for Fighting, also known as John, I'm Drassing. 311 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.480 Thank you so much for joining us this morning. John, So you're 312 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.279 gonna be first. Before I talk about what you're here for and what you're 313 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.799 going to talk about, I want to talk about five for Fighting because five 314 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.519 for Fighting sounds like you're a big old band and you're actually a one man 315 00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:00.480 show. Well back in the day the age of little fair boy band grunge 316 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.519 music, late nineties, my record company came to me and said, you 317 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.240 know, John the male singer songwriter is dead and you need a band a 318 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.519 band name and La king fans will remember Wayne Gretzky's bodyguard Marty McSorley, and 319 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.359 I'd been to a King's game that day, okay, and I was a 320 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.640 little miffed that they wanted me to change my band name, but you know, 321 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.079 nobody can pronounce my name anyways, you did a wonderful job, and 322 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.920 so I started sarcastically, said, well, how about five for Fighting because 323 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.119 Marty McSorley gotten in two fights that day and I expected them to hate it, 324 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.079 and they're like, we love it. I'm like, you're crazy. 325 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.200 It sounds like we should be opening for Metallica, And it was so surreal. 326 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:41.400 Early in my career, we would go out and you know, you 327 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.680 take any gig you can get right, and they booked me at these you 328 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.559 know, heavy metal gigs and I'd be sitting there with my piano playing Superman 329 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.480 for people mohing. It was very strange, but you know, for fighting 330 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.880 over the years has kind of paid off on me because you know, with 331 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.960 the sports world and being a big King's fan and able to get a hockey 332 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.319 ticket where I want to go, there's some there's some fringe benefits. So 333 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.079 the music that you heard at the very beginning of this was Superman, and 334 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:12.640 that's the song that really got you going, So tell us about what happened 335 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.920 there. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was very interesting. You 336 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.799 know. I'd had a minor hit with a song called easy Tonight and the 337 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.400 record company, Columbia Records, said well, you know it's Sally Records, 338 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.279 but we'll give you one more song and I suggest, thanks guys, so 339 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:32.720 long and and they said, you know, what do you want to pick? 340 00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:34.160 And I said, well, I have this little song Superman that you 341 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.359 know, when I play it, people seem to react and they're like, 342 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.960 no, it's too slow, the panel's not on the radio. And I 343 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.319 said, well, you know, if this is my like one and done, 344 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.160 I'll go down with this one, and it was interesting. Radio initially 345 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:48.720 didn't want to play it because it was so different. It wasn't kind of 346 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.759 what was on the radio. And over time it kind of grew and grew, 347 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.920 and I got this weird call one day from the label and they said, 348 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.160 you know, your song's number one in the Philippines. I'm like, 349 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:06.200 really, beans, And but we had a hint that it was catching on, 350 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.200 and then you know, you hit that tipping point and the song, 351 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.960 you know, really started to take take on some legs. And then of 352 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.559 course after nine to eleven it became one of the songs that kind of recognized 353 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:17.960 the heroes in nine to eleven and then like an anthem type of song, 354 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.920 yeah, especially in New York. And then with the concert for New York, 355 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.920 of course, it kind of took on a whole new dynamic nobody could 356 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:27.079 have ever imagined. But and that's when you played the benefit show at Madison 357 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:32.079 Square Garden YEA to honor the first responders, And that was just two months 358 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.960 after nine eleven. It was surreal, you know, twenty some years later, 359 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:37.640 it's still hard to explain, you know, any other night of my 360 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.200 career being on the stage of every living icon would have been, you know, 361 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.960 incredible, but of course that night it was very somber. But you 362 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.759 know, to play that song and look out and see, you know, 363 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.400 twenty thousand people who'd been down at ground zero kind of digging through the rubble, 364 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.960 be able to release and cry and sing and scream. I remember I 365 00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.319 was singing Superman and I looked out and there was just some big, burly 366 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.079 union worker with two beers and singing Superman me with tears running down his face. 367 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.720 And it really kind of, I think, impacted the rest of my 368 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.240 career because I saw, you know, very honestly, how music can matter 369 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.640 and ways beyond fame, fortune, hits and all that stuff. And it 370 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.640 wasn't just my song. It was watching the Who blow the roof off Madison 371 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.119 Square Garden and seeing everybody release and how much it mattered to them. So 372 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.319 to this day, it was a very surreal and humble moment. Yeah, 373 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.119 And when you do a show like that, that's so powerful. I mean 374 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:30.880 I get teared up just talking about nine to eleven and it was, you 375 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.200 know, more than twenty years ago. Yeah, So like, have you 376 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.359 ever just broke down and lost it during a performance? Yes, yes, 377 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:42.200 many times, and you know. We actually just did a reunion with the 378 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:47.240 Gary Cineas Foundation with some of the firefighters that were on that stage, and 379 00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:49.799 I played the song again with them kind of standing right next to me like 380 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.759 we did at Madison Square Garden, and I couldn't keep it together, you 381 00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.720 know, I forgot the words of my own song that I've done twenty thousand 382 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.680 times, and but yeah, it's it's you know. But that's the wonderful 383 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.039 thing about those moments. It transcends and it allows music to provide a solast 384 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.720 that I don't think other mediums can, okay, And I think that what 385 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:14.000 I love about the songs of yours that I know and Superman. Obviously it's 386 00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:15.880 a big song, but it's also intimate, and I think that that kind 387 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:21.160 of leads us to what you're doing here locally. Well, years ago I 388 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.799 started doing symphony shows, which were so wonderful because I have worked with incredible 389 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:27.920 composers, and to be able to play my songs with a symphony, I 390 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:30.799 think really adds a new dynamic. And we wanted to take it to smaller 391 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:36.079 intimate venues, so kind of we reduce the arrangement to string quartet. In 392 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.079 the last five or six years during the fall, we go out and do 393 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.759 a string quartet tour. So it's it's me, it's a string quartet. 394 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:48.599 The players or New York you know Prodigies. My violin player Katie just wanted 395 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.519 Tony for Mulin Rouge and they're just incredible musicians. And so we really do 396 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.240 this intimate show where I can kind of talk about the songs, tell some 397 00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.240 stories and play with this this amazing set of musician and really add I think 398 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.039 a new dynamic, not to just stay hits like you know, Superman hundred 399 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.240 years chances, but the whole experience. For me, sometimes I get lost 400 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.960 just watching them. So yeah, we'll be you know, TiO Santa Clarita, 401 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.160 my own stomping ground, and playing at home is always very special as 402 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.799 well. Five for Fightings String Quartet shows are this weekend Thursday night in Thousand 403 00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:23.920 Oaks at the Sure Forum. Friday nights performance has already sold out. Saturday 404 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:29.359 the show is at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center in Santa Clarita, and 405 00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.359 you can follow John on Instagram at five for Fighting Music and to get tickets. 406 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.359 It's five for Fighting dot com. Can't wait for this show. His 407 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.119 music is so amazing, and then in those small venues like that, Oh 408 00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.839 my gosh, it's gonna be great. Let's get back to some of the 409 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.960 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. People in Wilmington are 410 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:53.880 getting ready for the area's annual Labor Day parade and picnic rally. Jesse Marquez 411 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.160 is a local carpenter. He tells NBC for the event today is a big 412 00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:02.000 deal. I'll tell you one thing is unions do change lives. You know, 413 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:07.599 you are able to get benefits, you are able to provide and be 414 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.440 treated fair on the job sites, and being able to provide for your families. 415 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.720 You know, it's a big deal. The event begins at eight am. 416 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.720 The rally is set for noon at Banning Park. An electric self driving 417 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.440 car company says it is not responsible for a recent pedestrian death in San Francisco. 418 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.880 The person was hit by a regular car with a driver on August fourteenth. 419 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:32.839 First responder said they couldn't get to the bleeding person because self driving cruise 420 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.039 vehicles were blocking their way. The person hit later died. Crew says video 421 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.440 shows the ambulance had a clear path and could have made it in a more 422 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.559 timely fashion. According to the administration's study, we're not using you yet. 423 00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:51.559 Just Chris an Endeavor on behalf of NASA and SpaceX, welcome back home, 424 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.640 Thank you for flying SpaceX. NASA's SpaceX Crew six has returned to Earth. 425 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.319 The Dragon spacecraft splashed down shortly after midnight off the coast of Florida. Three 426 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.200 astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut were aboard. They spent the last six months at 427 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:10.920 the International Space Station. So once Labor Day is over, people start turning 428 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.759 their attention toward fall, and that means Halloween and a lot of places in 429 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:21.079 southern California not wasting any time getting ramped up for that. So Nick, 430 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:22.640 paula Uchini, and I are going to be heading out to hit some of 431 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:27.000 the hot spots leading up to Halloween. And I've noticed, like in the 432 00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.880 past few years, it seems like to me that people are getting into Halloween 433 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.559 earlier and earlier. So we want to share with you some of the things 434 00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.559 that are coming up. And Nick already got the party started at Disneyland. 435 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.680 I did. And it's funny because, as I'm joke a lot of times, 436 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.519 July fifth, the day after fourth of July, a lot of folks 437 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.039 are hopping into the fall's feelings, so come, oh my god, yes, 438 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.799 absolutely not till after day when I go to Walgreen's and I go to 439 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.440 CBS and I can see Halloween decorations as of July fifth and six. Yeah, 440 00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:57.440 there's there's definitely a push for it. But to go back to what 441 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:02.759 you were talking about with Halloween, I'm being underway as a Friday the first 442 00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.759 of September at the Disneyland resorts. So not only can you check out amazing 443 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.200 decorations, a special tour of Happy Haunts at Disneyland Park Disney California Adventure, 444 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.400 We'll be having a lot of things, the overlay for cars Land, which 445 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.400 is always fun, and you'll be able to check out a lot of the 446 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.359 villains across the resort, but also downtown Disney, so you don't even have 447 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.920 to go into the park to enjoy all the fun and festivities on the Fall. 448 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.880 You'll actually be able to do Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit, which we'll have details 449 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.680 for you here on Wake Up Call about as time goes on. But it 450 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:34.640 is a fun activity you can do with your kids. It's kind of like 451 00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.839 a pumpkin scavenger hunt, like a Where's Waldo things? So okay, so 452 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.359 we know that Disneyland is going to be all decked down. In fact, 453 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:47.119 it already is because, like Nick just said, Halloween Times started on Friday, 454 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.799 so there are the other theme parks are getting geared up. So also 455 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.799 Universal Studios is getting ready. They're doing their opening and you're going to be 456 00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.079 going to that this week, and then you and I are going to go 457 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.799 another time go check out some of the scary mazes. Yes, exactly. 458 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.960 So this Friday is the beginning of Halloween Horror Knights at Universal Studios Hollywood. 459 00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:11.440 So that's underway, and well, the thing with that is kind of fun. 460 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.920 You can actually enjoy that even if you go during the day and don't 461 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.759 go for the Universal Studios portion, the Halloween Horrors Knight portion, you can 462 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:21.640 see a lot of the decorations are already there and have been there for oh 463 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.240 gosh. They start building the mazes out for that sometime right after spring break, 464 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.119 so a lot of the things have been kind of percolating under the surface, 465 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:32.240 and you've been able to see some of the fun things that are happening 466 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.920 there, especially on the upper lot. If you're familiar with the Universal Studios, 467 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.640 evener you or not, you can always check out things going on at 468 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.680 Universal CityWalk. Again, that's outside of the theme park and you can check 469 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.119 that out. Okay, So, and we're gonna be I have not been 470 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:51.400 to Halloween Horror Nights because Nick is a likes to get freaked out, scared, 471 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.200 screaming like a ten year old girl kind of thing. I like, 472 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.599 oh, it's a happy pumpkin, and look at the cute little black cats. 473 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:02.079 So we're going to go and I'm prepared to be scared. So we're 474 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:06.400 going to check that out. And then another one that's coming up that has 475 00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:09.599 both the super scary and the not so super scary is Knotsbury Farm, right, 476 00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:13.200 so we'll be doing that a little bit later in the month, and 477 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.640 that will be both the fiftieth anniversary of Not Scary Farm. And it's crazy 478 00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:21.440 to think since nineteen seventy three, knots has been having a Halloween event that 479 00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.039 started out as just one weekend and now it runs for almost a month and 480 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.480 a half of nights. And then also, as Amy is looking forward to 481 00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.720 because she's a huge fan of Snoopy and the Peanuts, Gang, there's Camp 482 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:35.640 Spooky during the day if you have just regular admission to the parks. And 483 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.240 then again this too, just like Disneyland Universal, you can actually just go 484 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:42.960 to the California Marketplace, which is the shopping center outside of Nototsbury Farm and 485 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.160 check out a lot of Halloween things that are going on there. So you 486 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.839 don't even need park admission to check that out quite yet, okay. And 487 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.039 then there's some other places. Of course, those are the big theme parks 488 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.480 that they're they're starting off early. And then there's some other stuff that's coming 489 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.960 up in October that we're already planning for for you, So we'll go check 490 00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.319 it out and then tell you about it and see if you want to go 491 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:02.160 to it too. But one of the places we're going to go is going 492 00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:06.519 to be creepy and crawley and super spooky. We're going to go to a 493 00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:10.200 spider pavilion. I stoked for I know, I am too. I'm scared 494 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.799 to death, but I'm really excited about that. And then there's also haunted 495 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:21.039 car washes and that could be super fun and super creepy all at the same 496 00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:23.559 time. And then and then the other thing we're gonna go check out for 497 00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:25.839 sure.
