Yeah, I think it'll be 5 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:28.600 an early spring. Didn't we do this yesterday? I don't know what you 6 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:33.280 mean. No, don't mess with me, poor job. What day is 7 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:39.759 this? February second? Groundhog day? It is? And Punk Satani film 8 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.640 has come out of his den and did not see his shadow. According to 9 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.920 lore, that means an early spring. That, of course, is if 10 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.280 Phil is right, and Philo is only right thirty nine percent of the time, 11 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.439 of course. The big ceremony in Gobbler's Knob, Pennsylvania. What a 12 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.840 great name for a town. I was talking to our editor this morning. 13 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.240 I was like, why do we even do this? He doesn't even have 14 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.280 a two out of five accuracy record. Because it's fun and there's not enough 15 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.879 fun right now. Tony doesn't agree. He's like, I don't care, 16 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.079 Just let me go back to sleep. No time to go back to sleep. 17 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.719 It's time to get your day started and here's what's ahead. On wakeup 18 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.519 call. A second atmospheric river is headed for California. This storm is expected 19 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.879 to be even stronger than the one that just rolled through. The storm could 20 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.480 bring three to six inches of rain in the valleys and coastal areas. Yeah, 21 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.280 you heard right, three to six inches, and the rain is expected 22 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:40.200 to fall Sunday through Tuesday. For this particular storm, six to twelve inches 23 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.640 as possible in the mountains. President Biden and the First Lady will join the 24 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.799 families of three US soldiers killed in a drone attack in Jordan when their remains 25 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.239 are returned to the US today. The remains are expected to arrive at Dover 26 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.599 Air Force Base in Delaware. A bar in San Francisco's gearing up for its 27 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.760 big Super Bowl party, but guess who's not invited forty nine er fans. 28 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.519 Buzzworks is only allowing Kansas City Chiefs fans to watch next weekend. The bar 29 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.560 in the Soma neighborhood has been a chief's bar for years, and the owner 30 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.039 says he wanted this to be an exclusive event. At six oh five, 31 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.560 it's handle on the news. President Biden has signed an executive order to sanction 32 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.879 some Israelis. We'll tell you what that's all about. Let's start with some 33 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.840 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Heavy rains 34 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.599 have caused some flooding and other damage in southern California, including a mud slide 35 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:37.599 in Rancho Palas Verdes. It left dirt, water and debris on palas Verdi's 36 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.439 Drive yesterday, forcing it to be closed for a while. Flooding also affected 37 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.879 parts of the McClure Tunner Tunnel in Santa Monica, a railroad underpass in Long 38 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.439 Beach, and part of the seven ten Freeway in Orange County. Streets in 39 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.800 Seal Beach were underwater, and a stretch of PCH was closed in Huntington Beach. 40 00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:00.599 Another stronger storm is expected to move in Sunday. A man allegedly armed 41 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.120 with a machete he's been arrested after barricading himself inside a home in Canyon Country. 42 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.479 The standoff yesterday lasted more than five hours, A school was locked down 43 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:14.479 and several homes were evacuated as a precaution. The guy was finally arrested shortly 44 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:20.840 before nine last night. Two men suspected of tagging an unfinished high Rise near 45 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.159 Crypto dot Com Arena in downtown La have been arrested. The LAPED says a 46 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.199 helicopter crew saw more than a dozen people in the building on Tuesday, trespassing 47 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.159 and possibly spray painting. Patrol officers then arrived and arrested two of the people. 48 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.439 They were released a short time later. La City Councilman Kevin de Leone 49 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:45.039 is expected to introduce a motion today to address the abandoned downtown skyscraper that is 50 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:50.319 now covered in graffiti. The La County DA's office is asking the public to 51 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.000 help combat organized retail theft. The county's organized retail Theft task forces are asking 52 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.240 people to stop buying stolen goods off the black market. LAPD Deputy Chief Allen 53 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.680 Hamilton says the department's task force has thirty three active cases and will continue investigating 54 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.080 additional criminals. Any involvement in any of these crimes at any level our stage 55 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.599 of the crime will subject you to prosecution. DA George Gascollon says nearly two 56 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.839 hundred cases connected to flash robberies have been filed since the task forces were formed 57 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.000 last year. Officials say if a deal on the street seems too good, 58 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.079 to be true. It probably is, and you should walk away. Chris 59 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.360 Adler KFI News, a former CIA employee, has been sentenced to forty years 60 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.279 in prison for carrying out the largest data leak in the agency's history. Joshua 61 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.439 Shulty was convicted of giving reams of classified data to WikiLeaks in twenty sixteen. 62 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.759 He was also found guilty in twenty twenty three of possessing child porn. The 63 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.399 US Attorney's office, as Shulty betrayed the country and caused untold damage to our 64 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.920 national security, prosecutors were asking for a life sentence. Now, let's say 65 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:58.519 good morning to ABC's news political director. It's Rick Kline. Oh, two 66 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.120 weeks in a row. What a treat for us. Great, you're with 67 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.240 you, Good morning. Okay. So it looks like lawmakers are kind of 68 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.279 willing to tank any opportunity to get anything done, all in the name of 69 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.839 what in politics. I mean, that's really simple, you know, it's 70 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.560 it's kind of wild. We've got this tax bill that we spend this hout 71 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.680 task credit. You have an integration bill or crack down on on a border 72 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.839 that really is a mess, and it's got bipartisan majorities for both of them. 73 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.240 And in both cases they may die because you've got Republicans frankly seeing the 74 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.120 quiet part out loud that you don't want to help Joe Biden, you don't 75 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.519 want to help a president wo's approval rating of the authorities, And you know, 76 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.800 it's kind of a sad state of affairs. But you know, that 77 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.199 is where we are. And Donald Trump is the leading candidate for president. 78 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.079 He's against this border bill even though no one's actually seen it yet. He 79 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.120 said it's a bad deal, and Republican team to be listening to him, 80 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.519 taking cues from him and not getting in the way of his political ambition. 81 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.600 Okay, so you just mentioned the border security bill, which we're hearing now 82 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.600 that that a deal is almost imminent. Yeah, we're going to see the 83 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.040 language as any day, but you know, the deal may be imminent, 84 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.199 but it's also got on arrival, if you believe with the House Speaker by 85 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.160 Johnson is saying again a bill that he hasn't seen yet and that was negotiated 86 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.199 by people you know, and by partisonal basis. So that's where we stand 87 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.600 in the politics. I wish I had a better prescription for you or a 88 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.000 better explanation, but right now. People are kind of looking too much in 89 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.680 November to get anything done here at February. Okay. And then back to 90 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:29.839 the tax the tax package. It expands child tax credits and it restores some 91 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:35.480 tax breaks for businesses, and that one passed in the House but may not 92 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.360 pass in the Senate. Yeah, and and there, I mean, Chuck 93 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.519 Grassley, the senior Republican member of the Senate, said, you know, 94 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.399 why would we do something that might be good for Joe Biden and help Joe 95 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.639 Biden. So it's the same kind of dynamic. Frankly, it's a bill 96 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.000 that you know, in its substance wouldn't be very different if Joe Biden or 97 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.720 Donald Trump were president. The majorities in the Senate and the House that are 98 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.639 getting it there are kind of the same. But you know, it is 99 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.600 just a kind of another kind of low point where we're looking at all these 100 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.439 shutdowns and all of the standoffs and you know, teaching a trying to teach 101 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.600 a Cabinet secretary but not getting done. You know, what would be important 102 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.000 business taxes, the border, and immigration. These are huge deals, huge 103 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.720 issues for people, and they're going unaddressed because you know, people right now 104 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:27.360 are just looking at the politics and this is nothing new, really, it's 105 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.079 just gotten worse. I remember seeing Mitch McConnell, for example. I think 106 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.800 it was for so obviously I don't remember so well, but I think it 107 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.199 was during Obama that he basically said, we're not doing anything to help Obama 108 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.879 get anything passed. Yeah, I mean, I think what he said at 109 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.079 the time was, you know, our main mission is to make sure that 110 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.800 Obama's a one term president. And yeah, the dynamic, you get it. 111 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.000 But you know, if you do believe that the border is a crisis, 112 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.759 if you do believe that the test system is a mess, and you 113 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.120 have an opportunity to get something done, even if it's with someone that is 114 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.759 in the party. I mean, that's the to remember when that felt like 115 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.759 the point of governing, that kind of consensus building, coalition building, getting 116 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.639 something like that through would have been something that would be lauded. Right now, 117 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.720 there doesn't seem to be in a sentra structure for that at all. 118 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.600 And that's why we're here, and that's why we're having this conversation for the 119 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.160 uncience time, literally on Groundhog Day. Yeah, ironic, isn't that? 120 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:28.560 Okay? And before you go everybody loves Taylor Swift except some Republicans. I 121 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.279 mean, we'll figure this one out. I feel like it's crazy that I 122 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.879 have to go on your program and say that Taylor Swift is not a Pentagon 123 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.879 asset, and that she's a successful pop star, and that her boyfriend is 124 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.840 a successful football player, and the fact that one or both or Democrats has 125 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.759 nothing to do with any of that. I don't understand why anyone thinks a 126 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.399 good idea to attack Tyler Swift in this. I think taking on Swift these 127 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.440 is the height of political folly. But I think there's some people that need 128 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.440 to need to get a hobby. We'll get outside more. Is it the 129 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.960 only thing I would say? And I don't think she's a political operative. 130 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.879 But when she comes out if she endorses somebody that will have pulled because her 131 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.559 Swifties are so loyal. You don't what and people can people can react that 132 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.879 way. But to suggest that the super Bowl is fixed and that her success 133 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.639 is engineered by some you know, blob of media that's that's trying to help 134 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.399 the president win re election is just not so okay. Rick Kline, thank 135 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.240 you so much for your time. Thank you, and if you want to 136 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:33.240 follow Rick, It's at Rick ri ic k Kate l e I N not 137 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.000 I e I N. Thank you so much. Rick. We'll talk to 138 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.840 you again soon. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 139 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.360 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Landlords in LA say it may be tough 140 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.519 to collect overdue rent from the pandemic. The Apartment Association of Greater LA's Daniel 141 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.759 Jugelson says the likelihood landlords will collect the background if they win in court is 142 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.519 low. Typically a render doesn't pay rent because they can't afford it, and 143 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:03.120 so to try to go after that tenant, they don't often have any other 144 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.799 assets to collect from. Overdue ren from October of twenty twenty one to January 145 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.519 of last year was due yesterday. Mayor basays people facing evictions from COVID back 146 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.919 rent should remain in their homes and call the city for help. Blake Trolly 147 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:22.279 kaf I News. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has sued a So Cow based 148 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.320 construction company for allegedly violating state labor laws. The lawsuit, fouled yesterday, 149 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:33.639 claims West Coast Drywall and Paint failed to pay employees proper wages and provide mandated 150 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.559 breaks since at least twenty nineteen. We're committed to enforcing our nation leading labor 151 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.080 laws, to holding employers accountable, and to preventing against overreach and abuse. 152 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.600 Bonta says the company uses what they call a piece rate pay system instead of 153 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:54.200 a fixed hourly wage. He says his office will continue to prosecute companies that 154 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.240 take advantage of workers. California is getting thirty one million dollars to help find 155 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.720 the opium crisis. It's part of a national settlement with publicists. The healthcare 156 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.440 marketing company is accused of helping Purdue Pharma and others advertise and sell addictive pain 157 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:15.080 pills. Attorney General Bontes says no amount of money can bring back the lives 158 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.960 lost or reverse the devastating pain caused, but this will give communities more financial 159 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:26.639 support for treatment and recovery. Defense lawyers claim deputies had already decided Rebecca Grossman 160 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.159 was guilty before properly investigating the fatal crash in Wesley, Westlake Village that killed 161 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.600 two brothers. The defense claims Grossman passed the sobriety test, but the deputy 162 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.080 arrested her anyway because two kids were killed by the twenty twenty crash. The 163 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.120 defense called that malicious prosecution and says that's why the black suv they claim hit 164 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.480 the boys was never examined, but deputy testimony claims only debrief from Grossman's white 165 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.000 SUV was found at the scene. Jurors were told yesterday Grossman blew a point 166 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.000 oh seventy five and hours later a blood draw had it at the legal limit 167 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.679 of point oh eight plus valume was found in her system. Grossman wasn't charged 168 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.120 with the uy, which prosecutors say is unnecessary for a murder conviction. At 169 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.080 Vanni's Courthouse. Corbin Carson KFI News. A small plane is crashed into a 170 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.000 mobile home park in Florida, killing several people. Clearwater Fire Chief Scott Ayler's 171 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.480 says the pilot reported an engine failure before the crash last night. The cruise 172 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.080 did a phenomenal job in getting the fire knocked down very quickly, and it 173 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.840 ensued several structures, three definitely that had some fire damage, a fourth to 174 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.759 one with possibility of fire damage. Taylor says it's not clear how many people 175 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.720 were on board the plane. The FFAA and the NTSB are, of course, 176 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.759 investigating. More than one hundred twenty passengers and crew aboard at Queen Victoria 177 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.159 Cruise ship are sick. The CDC reported the stomach bug yesterday. The ship 178 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.360 left Florida on January twenty second. It was set to go to Aruba, 179 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.200 Guatemala, Cabo, San Lucas, San Francisco, and Hawaite. By February 180 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.759 twelfth, there are over eighteen hundred passengers and nine hundred and fifty crew members 181 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.039 on board. Boy, that doesn't sound fun at all. Here's something that 182 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:05.120 does sound fun. Spots a tiny fil the most famous groundhog from Pennsylvania's come 183 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.600 out of his hole to predict an early spring. The word in Gobbler's knob 184 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.000 is that if Phil sees his shadow this Groundhog Day, it means six more 185 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.759 weeks of chili winter. But there was no shadow. Quad tidings on this 186 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:24.840 Groundhog Day, and early spring is on the way. But Phil is only 187 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.120 right about forty percent of the time. ABC's Danny News says a town in 188 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:35.120 New Jersey had its own prognosticator, but Milltown Mel died in two thousand and 189 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.240 two. The town has had some trouble finding another groundhog to assume his throne. 190 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.039 Apparently, groundhogs from the South can't be brought up because of a certain 191 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.679 rabies breakout. Who knew, he says, Milltown, mel or Milltown. 192 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.679 The town could try another animal like the Oregon Zoo has Fufu the hedgehog, 193 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:58.240 and people in Central Texas get their annual February forecast from b Cave Bob the 194 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.720 armadillo. When we come back. There's been a lot of back and forth, 195 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.559 but lawmakers may be really close to a deal on securing the southern border. 196 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.200 Could it be dead on arrival though. We'll be checking in with ABC's 197 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.879 Stephen Portnoy to get the latest. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand 198 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.919 from KFI AM six forty. Is that your first cup of coffee? Like 199 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.679 the best? And I don't know if you've taken my advice, but I 200 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:28.000 did put a shmidge of salt in it flavor enhancing. We talked about it, 201 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.679 and then somebody posted on my social media on Instagram at Amy K King 202 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.440 by the way, this don't encourage people to use any more salt. We 203 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.120 already have too much salt. I'm like, it's like four grains. Come 204 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.279 on, here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The 205 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.600 first of two atmospheric rivers has moved out of southern California. The second is 206 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.759 expected to roll in late Sunday. The National Weather Services Alex Tarties's another one 207 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.679 to three inches of rain is on the way. Could even be a three 208 00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:00.120 to six inches of rain. With the ground still saturated from recent storms, 209 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.240 flooding is going to be a risk again. A seventeen year old boy from 210 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.519 Lancaster has been arrested in connection with hundreds of so called swatting threats across the 211 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.320 country. The calls draw massive police responses because they're violent in nature. Usually 212 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.840 billy say the guy's a serial swater and is tied to bomb threats and mass 213 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.039 shooting threats all around the US. Americans now have an Obesity Bill of Rights. 214 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.600 The National Consumers League and the National Council on Aging says it establishes eight 215 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.679 essential rights to ensure that people who are obese get screened, diagnosed, counseled, 216 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.399 and treated according to medical guidelines. At six oh five, it's handle 217 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.519 on the news why you may need to be worried if you've been at lax 218 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.399 or Chick fil A in Northridge. Recently, let's say good morning to ABC's 219 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.399 Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, there's been a lot of talk about an immigration bill 220 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.480 as part of the one hundred and six billion dollars in UH international funding. 221 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.200 I guess you could say, but what is the plan? We still don't 222 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.960 know. Well, it's Karen Drivers here. Well, I can talk about 223 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.799 that too, because I can straddle the Capitol hillside of things as well, 224 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.639 or we can talk about the president heading to Dover. But just to give 225 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.480 you a quick update on that, we are anticipating there could be some legislative 226 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.039 text of the bipartisan border negotiations, and Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, 227 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.000 said they'd like to move forward next week, potentially on a vote. 228 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.399 Now, we've kind of heard some timelines of this before. We're very close 229 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.320 or a whisper away from getting this out. We'll see if that actually plays 230 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.360 out today. The big thing, too, is that House Republicans are saying 231 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.679 it's dead on arrival over there. It's a non starter for them, which 232 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.879 of course means that's complicating things. It has to pass in the House, 233 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.759 of course, to get to the President. There are a lot of politics 234 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.519 at play here, but we don't know what's in it. That's been the 235 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.360 big thing for weeks now. They've been having these negotiations behind closed doors, 236 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.799 keeping it very, very tight. And we will see what it ends up 237 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.600 looking like if they do release this today. And it's been notable that House 238 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.639 Republicans have been trashing it when they don't even apparently know what's in it either. 239 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.440 It's so ridiculous. Okay, So we might get a look at it 240 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.000 today and then we're going to shift over and I'm going to say, Karen, 241 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:10.119 we were expecting Stephen, but always thrilled to have you. And so 242 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.880 President Biden today is going to Dover Air Force Base for a very solemn ceremony, 243 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.319 very very somber day for the President and the First Lady and also the 244 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.160 Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 245 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.039 General C. Q. Brown. They're joining them to have to attend 246 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.759 the dignified transfer of remains of the three service members who were killed in the 247 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.759 drone attack in Jordan on Sunday. The President and First Lady will meet privately 248 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.599 with the families of those service members beforehand and this is going to be a 249 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.960 tough day. You know, these are days that obviously no president ever wants 250 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.039 to see. The President spoke to the families earlier this week, and the 251 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.319 White House says he asked them, would you like me to be there? 252 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.680 Would it be helpful and comforting for me to be there? And all of 253 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.240 them said yes. We heard the phone call that the President had with the 254 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.160 parents of twenty four year old Kennedy Sanders of Georgia, one of the US 255 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.319 members killed, and he talked about his own personal experiences with loss and grieving, 256 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.519 and you know, he obviously uses his story a lot to try to 257 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.480 bring comfort to people, and he said, there's nothing that anybody can say 258 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.720 or do to ease your pain right now. But Sanders's mother told the President 259 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:21.920 that she appreciated hearing from him and hearing his story as a parent who's experienced 260 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.119 such loss, and she told him, if you've made it through, I 261 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.440 know that we can make it through as well. Okay. Yeah, that 262 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.079 I think is such an important thing for the President to do, to be 263 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.400 there. And of course this all comes as we're waiting to see what the 264 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.599 retaliation is going to be, because it's been almost a week now, almost 265 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.079 a week, and the White House says, you know, don't read into 266 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.839 that as that there won't be a response, because there is going to be. 267 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.599 They've made that very clear that there will be retaliatory action and that it's 268 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:55.319 going to come in the time and manner of the President's choosing, likely sooner 269 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.039 rather than later. But they just won't say exactly when it is, though 270 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.759 notable that it's not just one thing. It's going to be over the course 271 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.559 of several days, multiple countries, multiple targets within countries to try to strike 272 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.960 these militant groups where they are and take out their ability to carry out these 273 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:17.279 attacks. So this looking at likely as targets in Iraq, Syria, possibly 274 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.599 Yemen, and as I say, over the course of several days. Okay, 275 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.759 Karen Travers, thank you so much for your time this morning. An 276 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.880 unexpected surprise. Have a great day, all right too. Hey, yesterday 277 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.240 we were talking about the Griffith part of the Griffith Observatory. I went out 278 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.160 and about and checked it out. It's literally in our own backyard. And 279 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.039 then after throughout the day I was talking to people and they were posting on 280 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:42.680 social media saying, oh yeah, I haven't been up there forever either, 281 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.440 and oh, yeah, it's been like ten years. And oh I used 282 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.039 to take the kids there all the time. That kind of thing. I 283 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.359 think we really do forget about some of the really cool things that we have 284 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.720 here in LA because we just take them for granted. So also, I 285 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:03.839 got a post on my Instagram at amis caking about all the movies that have 286 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.359 been filmed up there, and so we went and looked it up. Because 287 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:08.759 everybody knows Rebel without a Cause that was in nineteen fifty five. There's a 288 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:15.279 bust of James Dean up there, but there's a ton of movies that have 289 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.759 been filmed, and why wouldn't you because it's such a cool, iconic looking 290 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:25.240 place. The first movie that was filmed and had scenes from the Griffith Observatory 291 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.160 was The Phantom Empire back in nineteen thirty five, and then The Terminator. 292 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:36.519 It's featured in The Terminator. It's also featured in Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genesis. 293 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.640 Apparently Terminator really likes the Observatory. It's featured in Back to the Future. 294 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:47.839 In Dragnet from nineteen eighty seven, not the TV show, but the 295 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.039 movie. The Tunnel entrance to the Observatory on Mount Hollywood Drive is the entrance 296 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:57.720 to Toontown in the movie Who Framed Roger Rebbit? Who Knew It was featured 297 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:03.039 in Earth Girls Are Easy, Back to the Future Part two, The Rocketeer. 298 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.000 That was such a fun movie. Bofinger, Queen of the Damned. 299 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.799 That was sort of a surprise to me. Charlie's Angels, Full Throtter, 300 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.079 Full Throttle, Transformers, Yes Man, that was the movie with Jim Carrey 301 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:21.359 where he had to say yes to everything, and that was actually there was 302 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:26.319 filming along the trails and at the Observatory itself, and I remember specifically because 303 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.000 a lot of that movie was filmed around Silver Lake, so I was like, 304 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.480 oh, I know that place. I know that place. And then 305 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.400 in Valentine's Day, that was a fun movie, Friends with Benefits and La 306 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.640 La Land, of course, and then also lots and lots of TV shows 307 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:45.720 like twenty four. The very first episode of the Adventures of Superman. The 308 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.039 Amazing Race had it as its starting line in for the twenty twenty second twenty 309 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:56.039 second season. It was featured in Chips. It was on Dancing with the 310 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.440 Stars, mcguyvor Melrose Place mission impossible back in nineteen sixty six, and this 311 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:06.839 is my favorite, the monkeys. So Griffith Park is you know, it's 312 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:11.440 an iconic place, and the Observatory is an iconic thing. So, as 313 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.880 I mentioned, probably not today or tomorrow because the weather's going to be really 314 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.119 crappy, but once it clears off again, I highly recommend a trip to 315 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.559 the observatory. When we come back, we're going to be talking with the 316 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.920 house whisper Dean Sharp about building your dream house. But where do you begin? 317 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.039 Dean knows, and he's going to let us know. Coming up. 318 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:37.039 Next baseball season is here. Don't miss live coverage from FanFest. It's happening 319 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:42.799 tomorrow with insider David Veasey. It's Saturday from noon to three. Check out 320 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:48.920 another winning season at Broadway in Hollywood dot Com. Southland weather from KFI morning 321 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.759 clouds. We still have a slight chance of showers, then sunny for the 322 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.440 afternoon. I will be in the low sixties at the beaches, upper fifties 323 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.440 to low sixties Inland, just forties and fifties in the Antelope Valley. Partly 324 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.559 cloudy tomorrow, then a second big storm rolls in late Saturday night. With 325 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:08.039 rain possible overnight heavy rain at times on Sunday and into next week, and 326 00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:12.599 as I mentioned, up to six inches of rain is expected before this second 327 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:18.599 move storm moves out. You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI 328 00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.200 Am six forty. So did you hear that it's Anne Rhine or ain rhynd 329 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:29.519 day? Did you have you ever read at La Shrugged? If you haven't 330 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.240 and you have a I don't know a month or two, it's an interesting 331 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:38.160 book. And I know I just said her name wrong twice, Ain Rand, 332 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.240 But yeah, it's a fascinating book if you can get through the first 333 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.240 part. Like I talk to my mom, she said, I can't read 334 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.759 it. It was too hard to get into. And for me it was 335 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.519 just like it's page turner and kind of interesting to see parallels of things that 336 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.480 she wrote about, like I don't know, dozens and dozens of years ago 337 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.640 that are kind of playing out today. Here's what we're following today in the 338 00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:07.319 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A second atmospheric river is headed for California. 339 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.359 This storm is expected to be even stronger than the one that just rolled through 340 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.359 the storm could bring three to six inches of rain to the valleys and coastal 341 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.519 areas Sunday through Tuesday, with six to twelve inches possible in the mountains. 342 00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:26.960 The union representing deputy district attorneys has filed a legal action against La County DA 343 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:32.279 George Gascon, alleging he deliberately failed to comply with the California Public Records Act. 344 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:37.680 The union claims Gascone's failure to comply with law and handover documents contradicts Gascone's 345 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.599 promise of transparency. Punk Satani. Phil has come out of his den. 346 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:47.119 He did not see his shadow in Gobbler's knob, Pennsylvania this morning. That 347 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.640 means an early spring. If Phil is right, and he's only right about 348 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.440 forty percent of the time. At six oh five. It's handled on the 349 00:24:55.519 --> 00:25:00.920 news as Secretary of Defenses. He didn't handle the prostate cancer surger and secret 350 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.720 hospital stay correctly, you think right Now, Let's say good morning to the 351 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:10.799 house whisper. It's the host of Home on KFI. It's a very own 352 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:15.880 Dean Sharp, Good morning, Dean, Good morning Gamy. It's iin Rand, 353 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.039 by the way, I Rand. I know I got it right the 354 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.160 third time, didn't I I know right? You've got it right, and 355 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.119 then just then you walked away and then you came back. So I'm just 356 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.960 saying, and I actually liked Fountainhead better than Atlas Shrug because it had to 357 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.319 do with architecture text. Yeah, that was a fascinating and fascinating book. 358 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.559 Yeah, I'm confessing, and I had a very very boring childhood. No, 359 00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:44.559 it was a really interesting book. Okay, So architects designers, we're 360 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.960 we're in the process of building a dream home and we know from the last 361 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.880 few weeks that we've set up the parameters of what we can and can't do. 362 00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:57.440 Then we started putting together a plan, got a design team, and 363 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.480 then we plan for what not to do so we didn't screw it up. 364 00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:08.759 And now we're going to go into step four. What's that step forward is 365 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:14.519 what I call the chicken or the egg paradox. It's basically the point at 366 00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:18.599 which you know, we're starting to really get into the design. And this 367 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.599 is where the typical homeowner gets really confused because they don't know where to start. 368 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.000 You know, you kind of look at and let's just take an example. 369 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.839 Let's say let's say it's a kitchen that we're going to design, and 370 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:36.279 I almost always get this question from people perplexed, like, I'm really confused. 371 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.559 I don't what do we do. Do we pick out the countertops first? 372 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:42.119 Did we pick out the floor? Should I be looking at tile? 373 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:47.400 Should I look at the cabinets? I don't know where to start. We've 374 00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:52.759 just started the project and I'm already confused, and so it's a big question. 375 00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.279 Fortunately, there is a very very simple answer to it, and it's 376 00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:02.279 this that there is no one place to start. We start where you want 377 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:07.119 to start. We start with what's already on your minds, and that should 378 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.279 come as a big relief to everybody. In other words, in most cases, 379 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.160 when somebody's thinking about a room and you know they've hired a designer and 380 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.039 you're working with your design team, because you don't know every in and out 381 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.920 of how it should turn out and what colors should be put together, per 382 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.839 se, and you know there's all sorts of stuff you don't know, but 383 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:32.720 there is almost always something you do know, like I've always wanted these oak 384 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.359 cabinets to have this color, or I've always wanted this style of door on 385 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.200 my cabin or I've always wanted a floor like this, or I've always wanted 386 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.000 this kind of tile. Well, then if that's what you know, then 387 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:49.480 that is where you start. And the cool thing is we can begin anywhere. 388 00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:52.480 We can start with the counter. Do you tell me what kind of 389 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.960 countertop is your dream kitchen countertop? And then we'll start mixing and matching and 390 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.519 looking at cabinet faces and can the colors that blend with it and that go 391 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.960 with it, And then one by one the dominoes begin to fall and the 392 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.920 next thing you know, we got it all figured out. We've got all 393 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.440 the whole color scheme, the floor, everything, they're all. There may 394 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:18.319 also be constraints and you know, with the with the room, the space, 395 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.519 whatever that may be, and we have to take those into account as 396 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:26.079 well. But the good news is all we have to do is start with, 397 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.880 you know, sort of your heart's desire and build from there. And 398 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.839 it can change right as it goes. Like you might think you want one 399 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:40.039 thing, but then once you start piecing it together, before you start building, 400 00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:41.960 of course, you can go, oh wait, maybe I don't want 401 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.200 that, Maybe I'm shifting. And you know, it's a fluid thing until 402 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:52.319 you start breaking ground, right exactly, it's a fluid thing, and You're 403 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.400 absolutely right, it might change. I've seen it change. I've had clients 404 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.880 come to me and say, listen, for twenty five years, all I've 405 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.720 ever wanted are these bright marble countertops, and that's where we start. You 406 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.759 know, I don't fight them on it. What's the point of doing that. 407 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.599 So we start working it through and they come to realize, wow, 408 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.920 you know, what I actually wanted was a brighter kitchen, and white countertops 409 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.599 are probably not the answer for me. And I'm like, all right, 410 00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.680 it's fine, it's great. This is part of the process of figuring out 411 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.759 your dream home. I gotta you know, draw this point of emphasis again. 412 00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:33.519 It is so easy to do an attractive room. It's so easy to 413 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.680 build or to design something that looks great, looks great in photos, looks 414 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.440 great on the internet, looks great on a magazine spread. But that is 415 00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:48.400 very, very different than building a space that is your space. And so 416 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.400 there is a process of self discovery here, and a lot of people find 417 00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:59.880 out that they've been expressing a certain emotion or a certain need a particular way, 418 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.079 and they realized, well, that's not exactly I guess what I meant. 419 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.759 I guess what I really meant. What I really discovered about myself was 420 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.039 I just needed it brighter and lighter in here. But and I just always 421 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.200 assumed the countertops were the way to do it. But as long as we 422 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:19.920 get to where your mind and emotions are, then we've arrived at the right 423 00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:25.799 place. Cool. And it's always helpful to have somebody who is a professional 424 00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:29.119 designer, which is why you got your designer involved earlier on, to help 425 00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:33.160 guide you through these things. And then step five we're hitting two this week. 426 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.039 Step five is designing for your five senses. What's that? Well, 427 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.640 Step five is we're going to cover that on Sunday. And this is the 428 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:48.119 beginning of kind of my theory of architectural fundamentals for everybody. I had to 429 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:53.319 kind of boil down the entire field of architecture for what a homeowner needs to 430 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.960 be aware of. And this, by the way, is not to turn 431 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.920 you into a designer. This is to give you the stuff you need to 432 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:06.960 know so that you can captain your design team so that you know you are 433 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.400 hitting all of the pillars that need to go. And I have reduced architecture 434 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:18.920 down essentially the fundamentals at least into its relationship to our five senses, because 435 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:21.440 that's what really comes down to. You know, I say it all the 436 00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:26.160 time that human architecture is for human beings. It's not just architecture. You 437 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.599 know, if we were blind mole people crawling around on all fours, living 438 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.920 underground, then we would have architecture just like we do up here, but 439 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.400 it would look very different, it would feel very different, it would have 440 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:42.440 a very different character to it. So the point is architecture is really rooted 441 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:48.279 in our human physiology, our psychology, and so I use the five senses 442 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:55.039 as the checkpoints for everybody as to okay, are we hitting all the points 443 00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:59.000 possible for this space? And the first one, the king of all the 444 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:05.200 senses, is site. Absolutely, without questions, studies after study after study. 445 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.799 If you ask the average person, all right, think about it, 446 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:12.759 if you could only have one of your five senses, what would it be, 447 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.720 eighty plus percent of people say, oh, my vision, I gotta 448 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.559 have site. I want site. You know, I could do without if 449 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.160 I had to the hearing and the other things, but I want to see 450 00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:28.920 the world around me. And humans are primarily visual people, and so architecture, 451 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:34.680 no surprise, primarily a visual medium. And so we use that as 452 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.920 a jumping off place to say, Okay, what are we looking for? 453 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:45.519 What are we looking at and how is it that the shapes and the contours 454 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.160 of a space are communicating to us? And that's what we're going to talk 455 00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:53.599 about on Sunday. So ultimately, what you want to plan for, what 456 00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.200 you want to see every day for the rest of your life, for as 457 00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.759 long as you own the house. Yeah, and in different ways that most 458 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.759 people don't think about. You know, we tend to think about like a 459 00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:06.240 room, we kind of get in our heads up above it, or we're 460 00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:08.880 looking at a plan view of a room. I want people to evaluate the 461 00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:13.160 room every angle. They look at it as if it was a piece of 462 00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:15.319 installation art. So if it's the living room, what does it look like? 463 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:19.599 What are we seeing first when we come in the front door, But 464 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.680 also how does it look when we're coming down the hallway or coming into it 465 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:29.480 from the kitchen. These are all important vistas and we should be thinking through 466 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:34.160 exactly where everything is and what it looks like from all of those angles. 467 00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:38.319 That's what makes for a good comprehensive design fabulous, And we're going to dig 468 00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:44.599 deeper into that this weekend, steps four and five with Home with Dean Sharp. 469 00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:49.519 You can listen right here on KFI six to eight Saturday morning, nine 470 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.359 to noon on Sunday. And if they would like to follow you, Dean, 471 00:33:52.599 --> 00:34:00.400 where is that on Instagram? Is at Home with Dean on all of 472 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:06.160 our social media? Sure? At Home with Dean on across all social media 473 00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:08.679 platform well not all of them, but you know the big three. At 474 00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:14.000 Home with Dean. You're saying you're not a TikToker. Uh, you know, 475 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.280 we do lot TikTok here and there you do. I am not a 476 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:20.400 TikToker at all. You know, we don't have an at Home with Dean 477 00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:24.320 on tender Grinder anything like that, So you know, just the I don't 478 00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:29.719 think those are social media websites. So those are dating sites? Oh yeah, 479 00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.639 okay, well that's probably why. That's probably why Tina hasn't put us 480 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:36.800 up on those. Dean Sharp, thanks so much, looking forward to your 481 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.159 show this weekend. Thanks Amy. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand 482 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.519 from KFI AM six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four 483 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.519 hour newsroom. The first of two atmospheric rivers has moved out of southern California. 484 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:54.679 The seconds expected to roll in late Sunday. The National Weather Services Alex 485 00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:00.280 Tart says a lot more rain is coming and with the ground still sature rated 486 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.119 from recent storms, flooding will be a risk again. A seventeen year old 487 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.000 boy from Lancaster has been arrested in connection with hundreds of so called swatting threats 488 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:14.320 across the US. The calls draw massive police responses because they report falsely very 489 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:17.440 severe things happening. Police say he's a serial swater and is tied to bomb 490 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.519 threats and mass shooting threats all over the country. Suits fans got some good 491 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:28.119 news for you. NBC Universal has ordered a pilot for a Suit's spinoff. 492 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.119 It's going to be set in Los Angeles. The original Suits ran for nine 493 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:36.840 seasons on USA Network, but it just recently regained popularity after the first eight 494 00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:42.960 seasons were added on Netflix. Production is scheduled to start next month in Vancouver. 495 00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.800 We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, premi 496 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:50.760 baby berths are up pretty substantially. They're not sure why, though. Let's 497 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:57.760 say good morning now to ABC's entertainment guru. It's Jason Nathanson. Jason caught 498 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.599 a slim pickens for new movies and streaming this weekend. But we got a 499 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.880 couple of things. Yeah, we're in this really slow period and there hasn't 500 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.440 been. Last week there were no new releases in theaters. So at least 501 00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:15.039 this week there's one, So that's better than none, although when you actually 502 00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.000 go watch the movie, I don't know if it actually is better. Argyle 503 00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:21.480 is the movie that is out in theaters this weekend. It's not about socks, 504 00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:23.360 is it. It is not about socks. No, don't worry in 505 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:29.199 case do you have a phobia of socks. That not be something I would 506 00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:31.679 watch a movie about if it's good. I would watch a movie about if 507 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:35.199 it's good. I'd watch almost anything, but this one not so much. 508 00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:38.800 That is true. This one stars Bryce Dallas Howard. She plays Ellie Conway, 509 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:44.400 and she's an author who writes spy novels. But her spine novels are 510 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:49.280 so good there actually seem to be predicting the future of what actual spies are 511 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:54.159 doing. So this spy organization wants to get her because of some convoluted reason 512 00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:59.920 or other. It doesn't really matter. It's a spy comedy, and unfortunately 513 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.800 it's not funny and the action is not great. So those are two things 514 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.599 he kind of got to hit if you're gonna make a action comedy. It 515 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.320 just did not work for me at all. And you know, look, 516 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:15.280 I often say I don't think anybody goes into a movie with the intention of 517 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.079 making a bad movie. I think everybody is you know, they want to 518 00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:23.519 be there and do good stuff. Unfortunately it just doesn't work out for whatever 519 00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:28.639 reason. And this one, to me, just did not work on a 520 00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:31.639 major level. So you got Bryce Stylis Howard, who I think is possibly 521 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:36.239 miscast, Sam Rockwell, who's great and just about everything that he does, 522 00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.519 and he's really good here. He is trying hard. You really have a 523 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:43.760 really good cast. Brian Cranston, Henry Cavill, Samuel L. Jackson, 524 00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:47.280 Dua Lipa, the singer is even in it for a little bit. And 525 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.119 so they really went all out. And this is from Matthew Vaughan who does 526 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.599 the Kingsman movies, so it kind of has a little bit of that feel. 527 00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:59.079 And I think I read somewhere that he said that it is tangentially set 528 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:06.000 in the Kingsman universe, although kind of but the CGI. First of all, 529 00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.679 there's a cat that's involved. Bryce styles Howard's character as a cat, 530 00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:13.000 and the cat ends up going with them on these crazy adventures. The CGI 531 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:16.840 involved with the cat is just shameful. I hate when they do CGI cats. 532 00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:20.480 It's not right. I mean, like, we all know what a 533 00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.920 real cat looks like, like you could do it with a rhinoceros. When 534 00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.159 you can't, we do well. The problem is to get the cat to 535 00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:29.519 do some of the things the cat needs to do. You can't get a 536 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:31.639 cat to do that in real life, you know, as well as you 537 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:36.199 train a cat, having them do stunts is just not going to work. 538 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:39.559 And so they've tried though, and it was fun to watch them trying. 539 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:44.000 I'm sure they have, but it just it does not work here. And 540 00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:47.079 I'm usually not I'm not one to criticize CGI. There's CGI that doesn't work 541 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.440 in a film. You know, some people complain over some of the Marvel 542 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.519 films or stuff like that. I don't. It passes right by me. 543 00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:58.119 I don't really care. Here it is so noticeable that it is just terrible 544 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:02.159 from the beginning. And you're in a make believe universe, yeah, and 545 00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:07.119 you are here. I mean, you have to really suspend disbelief to make 546 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.679 any of this work. Here and then and but the CGI is even the 547 00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:15.840 non cat CGI is bad from the beginning, and then towards the end of 548 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:22.280 this movie it devolves in such a fantastical way that is so absurd it's cringe 549 00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:29.719 worthy that I just like, I'm happy to go along for the ride if 550 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.639 it works, and I'm happy I like when things get weird. This towards 551 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.239 the end just gets laughably, uncomfortably weird. Okay, So now I want 552 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.199 to see it because it sounds so bad, Please do. I love to 553 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:46.840 have to share in the misery, but I would not recommend spending money on 554 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:50.840 this film this weekend. Okay. I have a side question, because you 555 00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:54.360 talked to these people. Do you think that actors get into like they sign 556 00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:57.199 a deal, they go, Okay, I'm going to do this movie, 557 00:39:57.199 --> 00:39:59.239 and then like halfway through, they go, oh my god, what have 558 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.280 I done. I wonder about that all the time because I talk to people, 559 00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:05.880 and look, when I do the interviews with them, it's not about 560 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.280 whether the movie is good or bad. So we just talk and I will 561 00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:13.000 never tell somebody that I liked something that I didn't. I just won't say 562 00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:16.719 anything. But I'm sitting there across from them, thinking, you know this 563 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:22.199 is bad, right, we both know. Let's not pretend we know this 564 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.840 is bad. But that never happens in the present. Right. You can 565 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.639 talk to somebody, and I have talked to people about and they'll admit something 566 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:32.320 from ten years ago as a stinker, but they'll never admit the current project. 567 00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.119 And I get it because so many people work on it and they are 568 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.280 trying hard, but I think they know. And in this one, I 569 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:45.599 would have loved to have been a at the premiere and just kind of looked 570 00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:50.280 around, and because at the premiere especially, you can't tell somebody the movie 571 00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.000 is bad, right, everybody's there, you kinda kind of kiss up and 572 00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:57.199 do that thing. But also I would have loved to have been in some 573 00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:00.719 of those meetings when the studio saw it, or you know, when when 574 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.280 some of the other people saw it for the first time, and did they 575 00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.679 really know, because I think you had to have known with this one that 576 00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:10.880 it just was not working. Okay, Then I want to talk about a 577 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:15.760 couple of docuseriies real quick, because one of them really has peaked my interest. 578 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.119 And that's the greatest night in pop. Yeah, that one. I've 579 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.760 not seen it. It's out on Netflix. The greatest night in pop being 580 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.760 January twenty eighth, nineteen eighty five, which if that specific date doesn't ring 581 00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.480 a bell for you, that is the night that they did We Are the 582 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:36.639 World, right, Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen, Lionel Richie and so many 583 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:40.079 more got together to make that song for charity. And this is about the 584 00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:43.559 making of that night, how it came together, how it happened, and 585 00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:45.840 with interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Lonel Richie, Huey Lewis, Cindy Lapper, 586 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:51.480 Kenny Loggins and some of the others as well. It looks really really good. 587 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.280 I know some people who have seen it and really loved it. So 588 00:41:54.880 --> 00:42:00.440 it does work. And I'm fascinated by that as a child of the eighties, 589 00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:05.440 and you know, somebody who remembers that song and that time, h 590 00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:08.559 and what that meant and how big it was, and just all the people 591 00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:15.559 that were there. Everybody was there, which just won't happen again. Yeah, 592 00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.800 I don't think ever. This is how big it was. Jason. 593 00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:22.960 We went as We Are the World for my sorority. A bunch of us 594 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:27.199 got together and we all were different Halloween. Yeah for Halloween. Wow, 595 00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:30.519 that's that's that's a fantastic awesome that that sounds like a lot of fun. 596 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:35.519 Uh. So, yeah, this so and I love I love documentaries about 597 00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:39.440 especially music stuff stuff like that. And there's apparently some revealing stuff in there 598 00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:43.639 as well. So I'll be watching that one this weekend. Okay, And 599 00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.159 speaking of music and something you'll be watching this weekend the Grammys. Yes, 600 00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:50.639 the Grammys. I will be watching it. I will be there in downtown 601 00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.039 at the Crypto dot Com Arena. Still can't get used to that name, 602 00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:59.880 but well, uh it'll be uh you know. Look, I don't think 603 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:02.199 the ratings for the Grammy. It's like all award shows have gone down and 604 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:07.000 down and down. Last year was pretty bad. I don't feel like there's 605 00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:10.400 any awareness this year that the Grammys are actually happening this weekend. I think 606 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.519 that might be You're right, I think that might be a surprise to a 607 00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.760 lot of people, unless you know, maybe you happen to be watching football 608 00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:22.639 last weekend on CBS and you caught a bunch of commercials. Otherwise, I 609 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:25.440 just don't know there doesn't seem to be that that feeling. I think a 610 00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.840 lot of people watch the Grammys for the performances rather than the awards themselves. 611 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:32.320 And there's gonna be some big ones in the pop world. Billy Eilish, 612 00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:37.519 Oliviy Rodrigo, Dua Lipa arguing and perform Siza, who's the leading nominee. 613 00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:42.119 She'll be performing as well, and then you're gonna have Grammy Legend Award or 614 00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:45.280 would be at Billy Joel will be there. Is he going to be singing 615 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:46.679 his new song. I don't know if he's gonna be singing the new song 616 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:51.000 or not, which just came out this week. I might watch just for 617 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:54.159 Billy Joel just to hear the new song or to hear just to hear Billy 618 00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:58.239 Joel. Okay, just to hear Billy Joel. I get that. I 619 00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:00.719 like him just the way he is. And Joni Mitchell will also be performing 620 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:05.880 for her. She's never performed with the Grammys before, surprisingly, and she 621 00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:08.199 just announced she's going to be playing at the Hollywood Bowl this year. I 622 00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:12.800 think her first Alley concert in decades, maybe Yeah, and they just added 623 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.400 a second show. Yeah, So I know some people will be excited about 624 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:20.320 that, you too is going to make quote unquote history with the first ever 625 00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:23.719 broadcast performance from the Sphere live in Las Vegas. I don't really love when 626 00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:28.760 they go to other locations. You know, it's hard. I think it's 627 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:31.960 hard to translate music over to television like the performances. Yeah, yeah, 628 00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:37.440 because you're just watching it on a TV. When you're there, it's pretty 629 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:39.639 cool and rocking and it's a lot of fun. I think for anything, 630 00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:45.760 whether for me that's the Super Bowl halftime show, to any performance that you 631 00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:50.119 watch on television, it loses eighty percent of the magic, I think right 632 00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:52.519 by watching it on TV. So just forget the whole Grammys thing and go 633 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.880 to the Sphere. Maybe I need more fun. Although the Sphere looks like 634 00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:02.159 the kind of place that would make me nauseous, so I'm fascinated by it. 635 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:07.079 But when you see the seats and the pitch, the extreme angle of 636 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.480 the seats and how they're pitched, that to me just I feel like I 637 00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:14.599 would get vertigo. So I don't know if that's for me or not, 638 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.840 but I like the outside. The screens on it looked really it's very cool 639 00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:21.280 and a little bit freaky. Yeah, have you been inside? Not yet? 640 00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:24.920 Okay, not yet, Jason Nathan Nathanson. At least I didn't call 641 00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:29.559 you Nathan jasonson this day. I appreciate that that's called Jonathan in a bunch 642 00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:32.400 of interviews yesterday. So do you correct him or do you just go with 643 00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:35.599 it? I just let it go. I love that. All right, 644 00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:37.440 going with the flow. It's Jason Nathans And thank you so much for your 645 00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.280 time today.
