You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Amy King. Thanks for getting your day
started with us today. Lots of stuff going on as you wake up,
get your day started. First and foremost, it's Friday. That's good.
We're gonna get you all up to speed with everything going on. And we're
also gonna have some fun today because of course it is the Friday before Super
Bowl. We got puppies and commercials and classic matchups and of course Taylor Swift.
You can bet on it. That's a hint to what we'll be talking
about at five point twenty. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. President
Biden says he is a senior citizen with not a great memory. Biden addressed
the nation last night after a DOJ report said he willfully kept classified information at
his home, but said it would not pursue charges because a jury would look
at him as a sympathetic figure with a poor memory. Biden shot back when
questioned about his memory in his words, I know what the hell I'm doing.
A woman is been rescued from a twenty five foot deep sinkhole in Fontana.
Officials say the sinkhole opened up under a patio that had been recently renovated.
The woman was pulled out of the sinkhole yesterday and was taken at the
hospital with leg injuries. Officials say they think the heavy rains caused the sinkhole.
You think. Some Democrats in California are now looking to change a law
they passed two years ago that will charge people for utilities based on their income.
Republicans have already been against the new rules. Fifteen Democrats have now introduced
a measure to try to repeal the law. At six oh five, It's
handle on the news. Ever been a victim of ransomware? Well, if
you have, you're not alone. Hackers have gotten a billion dollars out of
people in just the last year. Let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A massive landslide is threatening
homes in Rancho Palace Vertes, a person who lives in the area, says
there's movement from the top of the Portuguese Bend area down to Portuguese Bend Beach
Club on the water, which goes right through a neighborhood. Two homes in
the air area where red tagged last year. Trails in the community were washed
away, the city's geologists as the recent storms have only accelerated the landslide issues.
Rain, wind and flash floods have displaced a lot of pets in southern
California. A lot of fur babies have ended up in shelters. OC Animal
Care is asking the public to consider fostering so shelters can remain open. Pet
Owners are being urged to contact shelters to be reunited with their pets and to
keep their animals indoors during heavy storms. Because of the helicopter crash in the
Cleveland National Forest that killed five Marines is being investigated. They've shifted our focus
to the professional recovery of the remains are fallen due to the hazardous terrain and
weather. We're currently conductor at ground recovery over the coming weeks. The Rine
Corps investigated the cause of misapp to reduce the likelhood of future mishaps and loss
of life. Colonel James Ford says Marines are guarding the crash site. The
helicopter went down Tuesday night during a training mission as it traveled from Las Vegas
to Marina Air Base Mirror Mark near San Diego. The LAPD says it has
arrested a guy responsible for some of the largest street takeovers in the area.
Investigators say twenty year old Eric Kintana has more than seventy thousand followers on social
media, and some of the takeovers he organized have resulted in large scale takeovers,
smash and grab robberies, vehicle thefts, and other violent crimes, including
murder. Detectives say early Wednesday morning, members of the department's Street Racing Task
Force arrested Kintana at his home in Paramount, and he's facing multiple felonies.
The Elli County Sheriff's Department and HP assisted in the takedown. Steve Gregory king
Off I knows more than two dozen false claims and grand theft felonies against a
former CHP officer from Corona will be reduced to misdemeanors. Scott Helberg was granted
misdemeanor diversion this week. He allegedly claimed four thousand dollars worth of overtime he
didn't work between twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. Seven migrants allegedly involved in
the beatings of two nypdf fis in Times Square have been indicted. Manhattan DA
Alvin Bragg announced the grand jury indictment yesterday in connection with the assault last month
outside a migrant shelter. This assault, as it did to many of you,
sicken me and outrage me. There was widespread anger from people in New
York when the migrants were initially released without bail. Bragg defended his office decision
not to request bail, saying there was no evidence the men would take off,
but four of the five released last week reportedly got on a bus to
a border town in California. A statue of Kobe Bryant now stands outside Crypto
dot Com arena. The statue showcases Bryant in his number eight jersey, holding
one finger in the air signifying he's number one. Laker's owner Jenie Bus says
Kobe's legacy will last forever. In two thousand and nine, thirteen years after
telling Kobe he wanted him to be a Laker for life, my father described
Kobe as a marvel. Bryant's wife, Vanessa, says her husband chose the
pose himself, so if anyone has any issues with it. The statue unveiled
yesterday is one of three that will stand outside the arena that Bryant's wife called
the house that Kobe built. Chris Adler Ka Fine News. The statue can
be viewed at ten a m. Let's take a first look at your traffic
this Friday morning. Good morning, Nick Pouliochini's statue shows how did that happensuck?
It's five oh six on your wake up call. Time for us to
head to Las Vegas to talk to ABC's Alex Stone, who has the toughest
assignments. Is there because Super Bowl is almost upon us? Can you imagine
Amy, what tonight's going to be like here in Vegas? No, what's
it like? What's it like? Tell us give us a picture of what's
happening in Vegas? Now? Well, yeah, I mean like the NFL
has tried to do in LA and that they've made very clear with Sofi Stadium
that that's going to be the future of the Super Bowl. They want to
do the same thing here in Vegas where it just repeatedly comes back here and
that they are set up for. It's the atmosphere that they want and they've
got it. You know, up until today, it's been kind of more
of the family atmosphere as much as Vegas can be of families coming together and
enjoying getting ready for the game. But tonight it turns into the you know,
we're gonna go to the club route now tonight. And every Super Bowl
that I've covered, whether it's been in Phoenix or in San Francisco, I
mean, there's always something that goes on that police get involved on a Friday
or Saturday night before the game, that somebody with a big name gets in
trouble. And we are in Vegas, no doubt what it's going to be
tonight, Hopefully nobody. The teams are staying way far outside of the city.
That's not just by chance. The Niners were like twenty miles away.
Yeah, they don't want the players like having any chance of getting to the
strip tonight and doing anything that they shouldn't be doing. But the teams say
they're ready and the Chiefs and the Niners fans are here. I ran in
last night to Chris monthster Men and his nine old son. They drove here
from Kansas City. They're all decked out and Chiefs chains and crazy hats and
sunglasses, and he tells me, I've been rocking this Reebok hat since we
were in the two and fourteen days and we start winning once I started wearing
it, so uh, I don't know. I just kept it and start
adding things to it. He definitely did. Tivioty Simpson born and raised in
the Bay Area and she now lives here in Vegas. She says she's the
annoying neighbor now to everybody who's Raiders fans out here, that she's everything diners
and tells me, I feel like mahone is a great player. He's gave
he's gave a lot of you know, the stats and all that. I
just feel like the forty nine ers better take it, period, we better
take it, which tells you, pretty, I'm not plumb with you.
Pretty, Are you listening? Come on gidding. Today the teams are gonna
have their final practices, then they get to chill a little bit with family.
Family were saying, not at the club tonight and then tomorrow do some
walkthroughs and that'll be about it. But Andy Reid and Kyle Shannon and they
say, the teams look good. The party in my homes are looking strong.
Redo of twenty twenty, when the Chiefs beat the forty nine ers in
the Super Bowl and amy on stellbhub for those who want to go. The
cheapest today sixty two hundred bucks a seat. The most expensive on the fifty
yard line thirty eight thousand dollars per seat. How thirty eight grand And if
you want to bring somebody double that and then you got a game eighty thousand
dollars for two seats. Right, that's an expensive weekend even in Vegas.
Okay. And what's security like, because I mean, we all know that
this is a super fun game, but it has to have people very nervous
because of the high profile of it. Well, sure, I mean the
Super Bowl is always highly secure, but this year you've got the Mideast,
You've got the lone wolf concerns. Vegas. I think back to twenty seventeen,
what it's been through, and that it knows mass shootings. It is
cure here, weapons of mass destruction experts, bomb experts, vehicle barriers on
every hotel and big complex where the NFL is doing anything, no drones for
thirty miles around the stadium this weekend. Are teams today going up with the
black Hawk helicopters with the Department of Homeland Security. They'll have the fighter jets
up. It is extremely secure. There are police standing everywhere in the NFL
experience there at every door and standing all over the place down the strip.
They're there. They want to prevent anything that somebody would try, whether it
be on Sunday, at the game or at any of the pre events this
weekend, to spook people and scare them that. We know that they don't
believe there are any credible threats to the game, but they say they got
to be ready. Absolutely. You mentioned drones, and so that reminded me
of fireworks and drones and stuff. Is there going to be a fireworks show,
drones show? What are they doing? You know? A good question.
I don't know. Because this is an indoor stadium. It's not going
to be anything that they would be for the game, most likely lessen for
the crowd outside, but for those who are inside, they're not going to
be able to see any of that. They can't open up the top a
little bit. We'll see on Sunday if they do. Just looking at it
right now, it's all closed up right now, but maybe they'll do something
like that. I don't know, Okay, And then you mentioned the outside.
We know that you know, to have the tickets to the game is
the Big Bucks. But do they have stuff set up outside, like if
people just want to hang out and watch, do they have big screens outside
Allegiant or no? They will on the strip and in the casinos all the
each casino is doing something big. But where a Legion Stadium is, even
though it's right across the freeway from all of the casinos, not in a
great spot to set up you know, big fan kind of things. So
most of it is going on on the strip. You gotta walk over the
freeway to get over there and then come back. But there will be a
lot just now right there. Okay, and Alex Stone, who's going to
win? Well, I mean if you look at the sports book, it's
the Niners by two, by like one and a half two points. Some
of the well, I still agree with that. I'm from the Bay Area,
Santa Rose, are born and raised. I gotta go Niners. Where
a Niners family. But my son was Patrick Mahomes for Halloween, so a
divided family. It could go either way. Although he's now going for the
Diners, So I gotta go Niners. Diners all the way okay. Then
one last question, do you get to go to the game or you okay?
Yeah, I'll be in there. We'll be covering it. Yeah,
we'll be We'll be in there in the press box. How fun. We'll
have a great time and we can't wait to hear all about it. And
yikes, it's a big weekend. It is. It's gonna be a party
weekend. Thanks Savy. All right, go Niners. Thanks Alex. Later,
let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. This matter is now closed. President Biden has criticized and
celebrated the Special Council's decision not to file charges against him for willfully retaining classified
documents. He says descriptions of his hazy memory that are in the report had
no place for it. Take a look at what I've done since become present.
None of your thought they could pass any of the things I got passed.
How'd that happen? Biden also pushed back, saying his memory is fine
and good enough to run the country. The report, released yesterday says evidence
suggests many documents were retained by mistake. It says Biden voluntarily returned the documents
and cooperated with the investigation. The only city councils expected to vote on a
motion to make the owners of an unfinished high rise in downtown La clean up
graffiti on more than two dozen floors. The building has been unfinished since twenty
nineteen. This tagger says he's proud to have his name on it. You
got to go up there to get your name. Look, you gotta make
history. This is history right here. But city council and Kevin de Leone
says the graffiti is not art. We have some incredible graffiti artists as well
as muralists who do beautiful work. We want to see that type of work,
but there is a fine line. The motion today would require developers to
remove or cover the graffiti, install stronger fencing and higher private security. If
not, the city could put a lean on the profit. Open enrollment for
Covered California Health insurance has ended. The deadline was midnight. As of January
thirty, first, more than one point seven million people in California have chosen
a health plan through Covered California. This year, more than three hundred and
six thousand people joined, and more than one point four million renewed coverage.
The total surpasses the previous record set in twenty twenty two. To rescue.
Dogs from the Bay Area are going to be playing in this year's annual Puppy
Bowl. Frankie and Niner will play in the cutest matchup on Super Bowl Sunday
when Team Rouff takes on Team Fluff. I had been looking for puppies to
possibly send to to the Puppy Bowl and they ended up being the perfect candidates.
They flew back East with their human companions, filmed the event, and
now they're living in their forever homes. Nancy well List with the Humane Society
of Silicon Valley says over one hundred and thirty puppies are playing in this year's
game. It airs Sunday at eleven on Animal Planet and one of the dogs
I saw this story earlier this week is a little pup who went from being
a zero to a hero. One of the dogs being featured a member of
Team Ruff is Grayson, an Australian shelter who comes from pac Leaders Rescue of
Connecticut and Grayson was rescued in Arkansas and apparently they do these rescues all the
time, like they go down to Arkansas, bring them up to Connecticut.
But little Grayson was found in a box with his four other siblings. He
had been dumped at a Walmart. So he's just a little shelter pup and
he is absolutely beautiful. I bet you could go google Grayson, but way
to go. And I always love watching the Puppy Bowl because the commercials don't
start till about two Puppy Bowls at eleven. I'll be watching Sunday when we
come back. It's a big anniversary for me and a chance forgive for me
to give a big reminder to you. You're listening to Wake Up Call on
Demand from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty
four hour news room. A huge landslide is threatening to wipe out homes in
Rancho Palace Verdes. The landslide, triggered by the recent storm, has buckled
roads, caused gas leaks, and prompted officials to red tag several homes on
Dauntless Drive. The street is next to a hillside in the active Klondike landslide
area, where two homes were red tagged last year. Robocallers can no longer
use AI generated voices. The FCC chairman's bad actors are using AI technology and
now it is illegal to use voice cloning technology in robocalls. The ruling comes
after fake robocalls impersonated President Biden and encouraged voters not to cast ballots in New
Hampshire's presidential primary. Thieves have stolen one hundred bee hives from a farm in
central California. The bees are said to be valued at about thirty four thousand
dollars. The bees pollinate almond trees, for which the bee keeper collects fees.
The bees also produce honey, which is then collected and sold. Orange
County beekeeper Sean crowleyces most times it's other bee keepers stealing the hives. At
six oh five, it's handled on the news. A special Council report on
President Biden's keeping of classified documents at his home was kind of a political disaster
for Biden. So you may know, or maybe you don't know. And
if you don't, I'm telling you right now. I'm all about celebrating milestones.
I like it, and here's what I really want to share with you.
February tenth, which is tomorrow, marks three years since my last dose
of chemotherapy following colon cancer. I got six months of treatment. Yay,
not fun, but I got through it. And actually, after we had
the tumor was removed, they did testing of lymph nodes and surrounding areas in
my large intest and all that stuff. They didn't find that anything had spread,
So for me, the chemotherapy was sort of an insurance policy to make
sure that there was nothing left. So just to quickly recap, I found
out at the Big Sea, which I don't even like to say still in
June of twenty twenty. It was right in the middle of the pandemic and
I had been getting sick for like three months, where I would get throw
up for like twelve hours after having twelve hours of cramping. We had no
idea what it was. We thought it was food allergies. I mean,
we went through a kind of a laundry list of things that it might be,
and then finally I decided to get a colonoscopy, which I should have
had years before, and an endoscopy to figure out what it was. And
the doctor found it. It was a nasty little tumor. As soon as
we found out about it, I was like, can we have surgery tomorrow?
And they said no, but we can do it next Tuesday. So
in late June of twenty twenty, I had the tumor and about a foot
of my large intestine removed. So and everything is going great. And this
is all to say that what I would recommend to you, and this is
my plea to you. I know that you know we don't tell you what
to do. You guys make up your own minds. But my recommendation to
you is to go ahead and get that stupid colonoscopy. I don't want to
talk about it. It's not a great fun thing to do. Nobody really
wants it, but it can save your life, and for me, it
did save my life. The other thing that kind of comes into play is
that if I had done the colonoscopy when I was supposed to, then they
would have caught it before it turned bad and I would have had paulap removal
or something like that. And my doctor said, oh, yeah, you've
had that going on for about ten years. So I'm like, well,
when did it turn bad and he said about eighteen months ago, So had
this thing carrying around. If again, if I would have gotten my colonoscopy
when I'm supposed to, they would have taken care of it before anything developed.
So they're recommending that you get colonoscopies now at forty five because it's hitting
people younger and it's now the second deadliest form of cancer. So the good
thing about this is that it's super treatable, it's preventable, and if they
do find something, they can take care of it. So it's a day
out of your life. Not fun, but it's just a day. It's
not that bad, and it can save your life. And if you're free
and clear, you'll be on the ten year plan. If they see anything
they want to watch, you'll be on the three or the five year plan.
And if they find something, they'll get it, they'll treat it.
I won't remind you about this again until the next milestone, which is coming
up in June, but please go get you to kolonoscopy. Okay, moving
on to more fun things. The super Bowl. It's in Las Vegas.
It has it all. There's Patrick Mahomes. There's the underdog Kansas City Chiefs,
although they're underdogs by like two points. They are trying to become the
first repeat champions in nineteen years and solidify their claim to be a dynasty with
a third super Bowl title in five years. Pretty impressive. Then there's Rock
Party, returning from an injury, and of course he rose from mister irrelevant.
He was the last person picked in the draft, not really expected to
play, but then the other quarterbacks for San Francisco got injured, and there
he is in the spotlight. And the forty nine ers are on the brink
of a record tying sixth super Bowl title. And we haven't even mentioned Taylor
Swift. So many things to look at, so many things to bet on,
so we wanted to look up prop bets. So producer Ann Winton dug
a little for us, and here are some of the things that you can
bet on that really well, they have to do with the game, but
they're also kind of just in the whole envelope of Super Bowl. The length
of the national anthem sung by Reba McIntyre, I'm going to guess it's going
to be a longer one because I don't think RIBA's going to power through it.
Who wins the game, the coin toss, of course, who wins
the game. Then there's also other like little Minutia. There's like, I
think there's fifty eight prop bets this year, but it could be the team
to score first. Who's the first penalty going to be against? We tried
to track this one year when we had made some bets. It's really hard
because you really have to pay attention to the game. The jersey number of
the first person to touch us to score a touchdown, and because of the
Taylor Swift effect, thirty percent of all betting dollars for the first touchdown are
on Travis Kelce. Now kind of unlikely because only two of the past twenty
first touchdowns and Super Bowls were done by tight ends, but you never know.
And then speaking of Taylor Swift, you can't actually bet on Taylor Swift,
but if you go online and google it. We got this from Forbes,
right Forbes dot com. They have all these Super Bowl prop bets for
Taylor Swift. For example, will Swift be shown on camera during the game
at least six times? Tony? What do you think? Yes? Yes?
Nick? Do you think so? Yes? Six times? Okay?
Will Kelsey? Gosh what every five seconds? No, I'm just saying,
like in off seat, like in regular season play, how many times we
see her at any Chiefs game. So come on, all right, is
Kelsey gonna make Swift's famous harthands after he scores a touchdown? He did it
at the last game. I thought it was so cheesy. Will Taylor and
Kelsey kiss on the field after the game? Probably depends on whether they win
or not. And then is she gonna hug Travis's mom? That'll be up
to whether the mom is in the box because she said yesterday, boy,
those boxers are really expensive. She might be sitting in a regular seat.
And then the big question that all the Swifties want to know, will Kelsey
proposed to Swift after the game? Have they been dating for like three months?
Anyway? It's super fun. I send it to a couple of my
Laura and uh and Brooker my one of my best friend's daughters, and they
are super Swifties. So they'll be following along the game with that. When
we come back, we're going to be talking to the house whisper Dean Sharp.
If you have any damage from the big rainstorm, whether it's flooding or
just even a little leak, Dean has the answers for you on what you'd
need to do now, plus some other fun stuff coming up on his show,
The House Whisper This Home with Dean Sharp. He is the house Whisper.
You got it. He's got a lot of fun things coming up on
his show this weekend. He'll be telling them telling you about that. Easy
for me to say, maybe I can spit out the weather south Land weather
from KFI. Still a chance for showers in oc and Ie this morning.
Otherwise it's going to be partly cloudy this morning and then lots of sunshine for
the afternoon. Cool with highs in the fifties to about sixty at the beaches
Metro La and Inland O c load to mid fifties for the valleys and Inland
Empire thirties and forties in the Antelope Valley. Sunny for the weekend with highs
in the low to mid sixties. It's forty six and Fullerton forty seven in
Fountain Valley. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI Am six
forty. Thanks for getting your day started with us today. Here's what we're
following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA's Department of Public Works has
received twelve hundred reports of potholes, and that was just yesterday. The number
of mudslides from this week's rainstorm is up to nearly six hundred. The number
of fallen trees is topped five point fifty Sixteen buildings have been red taged,
thirty three have been yellow tagged. Many of those buildings are homes affected by
two mudslides in Studio City. President Biden says he's a senior citizen with not
a great memory. Briden addressed The Day Nation last night after a DOJ report
said he willfully kept classified information at his house, but said it wouldn't pursue
charges because a jury would look at him as a sympathetic figure with a poor
memory. Biden shot back when questioned about his memory in his words, I
know what the hell I'm doing. With just two days left until Super bowld
demand is rising to get tickets to the game between San Francisco and Kansas City,
and ticket prices are surging now averaging eighty six hundred dollars. We talked
to Alex Stone a little bit ago. He said the highest prices on the
fifty yard line thirty eight thousand dollars. A ticket spokesman for stub Hub says
thirty eight percent of ticket sales so far have been from California, ten percent
from Kansas and Missouri. At six oh five, it's handle on the news
fender bender of sorts on the tarmac when two planes kind of collided at Boston
Logan International. At five point fifty, we'll be checking in with ABC's Jason
Nathanson on what you can do if you don't want to actually watch the Super
Bowl game this weekend. Right now, let's say good morning to the house
whisperer. It's Dean's Sharp, Good morning, Good morning, my friend.
So, Dean, we had a lot of rain, and I would imagine
there are a lot of people I know who are now dealing with that aftermath,
and it could be flooding, it could be just leaks. But let's
let's talk about what you need to do to make sure your house is safe
and doesn't get mold and all that stuff. Well, here's the thing.
If your roof is leaking, it's time to get on the phone now,
because I think, what was Tina telling me yesterday, We've got about a
ten day interval before the next rain comes, of sorts, The time to
fix your leaky roof is not. While it's raining, I want you to
stay off your roof and stay safe. Don't go up on a wet roof.
But now the things are drawing out, you got a little bit of
time, so now it's the time to call the roofer. If by the
way, you know, you could imagine every good roofer in southern California is
just jam packed with work. So if the roofer cannot get to you to
actually fix the leak by the time the next set of rains come, then
definitely call them and say, listen, you're the guy who's going to do
the job. Please send over a tarp crew and just cover over the leaky
area and sand bag it down so that I'm not leaking during the next storm.
And you know before you can get to me that most can do and
can do it very quickly, so you're safe either way. Yeah, I
got a house next door that they've got tarps up right now. Yeah,
And there's a there's a right way and a wrong way to put tarps up.
I still recommend that you call the roofing company to do it, because
they're going to secure the edges down so it doesn't blow away when the winds
come. In because that doesn't do you any good when the tarp is hanging
off the edge of your roof and not actually covering the areas that leak.
As far as floods go, and when we say floods, we mean you
know there's either been water on your property that's somehow gotten into your house or
again the leaky roof has gone down and messed up a floor. A lot
of people panic about that. I get it. It's terrible to have something
like hardwood or carpet all messed up and know there's no saving either one of
those real hardwood or carpeting tile is fine. It's just gonna sit there and
it just needs to dry out. If you've got a laminate floor, it's
probably toast as well. We all laminate floors are water resistant on the surface,
but most of them underneath are very susceptible to moisture. But if you
have a luxury vinyl plank floor, one of those new fangled kind of floating
floors, it's going to do just fine. It's completely waterproof in and of
itself. But you're probably gonna have to either yourself or have a contractor unclick
it. In other words, unzip it and remove it and set it aside,
let it dry, and let the slab dry out underneath, and drying
is the key. Damaged drywall. Most remediation companies are only gonna cut the
dry wall up a couple of feet from the floor. You don't have to
take all the dry wall off your wall unless there's been a lot of moisture
hitting the top of the wall. We just got to expose the bottom of
the wall cavities and the wet plate that's down there. And don't panic.
Don't panic about your house getting wet other than those surfaces that you lost,
because I always say tell our listeners this, it's not about wood getting wet.
It's about wood staying wet. So you've got to expose it to airflow,
and airflow amy is the key. Do not make the mistake of going
and renting, you know, but tane powered heaters and end up burning your
house down because you've thought you had to bake the moisture out of your house.
It's not about heat, it's about airflow. So what you're looking for
are big fans fans to blow air around and to let it dry out.
Now it's going to take a few days but it will happen. When it
happens, you'll be able to close the walls up just fine without worry of
mold or mildew in the future. Okay. And is it the same thing
that because of all the rains, probably the people who do all that remediation
are super busy right now. Can you call them and say, can you
just bring fans until you can get over to fix it. Yeah, that's
always a possibility. Most remediation companies are happy to get in there before they
actually get the work fixed. They'll pull off the susceptible areas and the drywall
and they'll just get the fans going, and they're going to go away for
probably a week or so anyway, just because it's going to take that long
for things to blow through and dry out. And if you can't call a
remediation company, and that's, by the way, a company that advertises that
they specialize in flood damage, just call a reputable general contractor. There are
no general contractors out there who know what they're doing that don't know how to
take care of you after moisture damage. Okay, good to know. Okay,
So this weekend you're doing an all calls weekend. So instead of having
like a set thing you're going to talk about, you're going to find out
what people want to talk about. That's right. Whenever, and we do
calls every week, but every few weeks we set aside the entire weekend both
shows to just take calls. So you set the agenda. You got flood
issues, got water damage issues, or anything else? I always say construction
DIY, design issues. Anything you want to talk about about your house,
I'm there. We'll put our heads together, we'll figure it out. Okay,
And just real quick before we let you go. You said you take
calls every week and every once in a while you do this all call weekend.
You have to have had some really funky calls at some point. I
want to know, like, you want the dirt. You want the dirt.
I want the dirt. You want the dirt on the funky calls.
You guys want the dirt too, right, we all want the dirt.
You know what we do. We have really great listeners, and yeah,
we get bizarre calls, A lot of bizarre calls in regards to things that
you wouldn't expect to hear about your house. They don't actually surprise me.
As much as you think, because because I've heard a lot of weird things,
seen a lot of weird things, I would say the calls that probably
unnerve me the most are the ones where you know, we'll have like,
Okay, we've got Bill from Santa Ana calling. So I pick up and
it's Bill, and Bill's like, hang on a second, Dean, I'm
going to put my wife on the line. I need you to tell her
just how wrong she is about this marriage counselor I just do not. I
don't want to get in the middle of the relationship issue. And you know
it goes both ways. You know. I get a lot of women who
call and say, can you hang on a second. I want to talk
to you. I want you to tell my husband why he needs to add
on to the back of the house starting next week, the lazy past.
So anyway, yeah, we get a lot of that, and I'm like,
calmed down, step away from the mic. All right, So no
marriage counseling calls. But other than that, call into Dean this weekend.
He is our house whisperer and his show is Home with Dean Sharp. You
can listen to it Saturday from six to eight am. And Sunday from nine
to noon. Thank you Dean. Thanks Amy. All right, let's get
back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom.

The Supreme Court has heard argument on whether Colorado has a right to remove former
President Trump from the primary ballot. The state Supreme Court found Trump ineligible for
a violating a section of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prevents those who engaged in
insurrection from holding office. Just as Elena Kagan said yesterday, it's not about
that. The question that you have to confront is why a single state should
decide who gets to be president of the United States, just as Amy Coney
Barrett agreed, doesn't seem like a state call. Trump's attorney argued the part
of the fourteenth Amendment doesn't apply to Trump because he wasn't an officer of the
US when he served as president and that he did did not engage in insurrection.

I'm Amy King. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. A huge landslide threatening to wipe out homes in Rancho Palace thirties.
The landslide, triggered by the recent storm, has buckled roads, caused gas
leaks, and prompted officials to red tag several homes on Dauntless Drive. The
street is next to a hillside in the active Klondike landslide area, where two
homes were red tagged last year. Californians may soon be banned from using even
more plastic bags. Lawmakers have introduced a bill that would get rid of the
thicker plastic bags that you can now buy at check out. They're designed to
be reusable, but apparently they're not being reused or recycled data shows far more
plastic waste in twenty twenty one compared to two thousand and four. An expanded

Spring training play starts February twenty second, and then opening day March twenty eighth
at Dodgers Stadium. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning,
President Biden may have made things worse when he addressed the nation to talk
about how he won't be charged for taking and storing classified documents at his house.
Right now, it's time to talk entertainment with ABC's Jason Nathanson. Good
morning, Jason. I like the dramatic football music. Yeah, yeah,
it's Super Bowl weekends. This is we're kind of themed this morning. Ah,
I appreciate that so I guess because it's super Bowl weekend, there's not
a lot of new movies coming out. Yeah, traditional that's the case.
People the big studios leave everything because they know their Sunday returns are gonna be
terrible basically. But you know there is there there is some something to counter
programming, right, putting out some stuff that you know people aren't gonna watch.
First of all, they're not gonna spend the whole weekend watching the super
Bowl. But it's it is pretty light out there. There's one new movie
that's the only one that's really kind of making any noise. And when we
talked about noise, we're talking about maybe five to six million dollars, which
is in a whole lot. But it's called Lisa Frankenstein, which is going
to challenge last week's winner, Our Gyle for the top spot. Last week,
I talked about how Our Gyle did not work for me, and unfortunately
Lisa Frankenstein did not work for me either, Although I was really looking forward
to it because it has a great some really interesting people behind it, including
writer Diablo Cody, who's done some great stuff in the past. You have
Katherine Newton who's and she's a great young actress who's been in Big Little Eyes
and a bunch of other things. And then also it's directed by Zelda Williams,
and if that name sounds familiar, that is the daughter of Robin Williams,
making her directorial debut. And this is kind of a horror rom com
that leans more into the comedy and the weirdness than the horror part of things.
A horrorm com come on, yeah, which I'm which I'm absolutely totally
fine with. It's set in the eighties. I was hoping for like maybe
some Heathers vibes or something like that, and I think they're going for a
little bit of that. It's Catherine and stars as a teenager who falls in
love with a guy who is resurrected from a grave after a lightning storm,
and she tries to mold him into the guy that she wants him to be.
You know. It's a new ish take on the classic Frankenstein's story and
I liked the idea of it. I like what they were trying to do.
Unfortunately, the execution just wasn't there. So there are pacing issues,
the jokes don't really land, and overall, for me, just did not
work, but I like the attempt, So okay, you know, and
you get a trophy for trying. They get a trophy for trying, a
participation trophy for Lisa Frankenstein. Okay, Well on from the movies, let's
talk super Bowl. Yeah, so should we start watching before the game?
Is it worth it? You're talking about the commercials? Sure? You know.
Look, I think that the whole trend of watching the commercials before the
Super Bowl is weird. I don't understand why people do it, Why people
would want to do it, because these are you know, yes, they
are funny and they're interesting, and you have Martin Scorsese doing a commercial for
the first time ever, and you know he's a great director, so you
want to check that out. But at the end of the day, these
are ads for companies, So I don't understand why people would be so interested
in that. And these companies, which are paying seven million dollars a spot
for these things. I think there's something to be said for, you know,
a little mystery. Yeah. That said, they're pretty much all out
there, so you can check them out for yourself. I think one of
them more eat that. I hate that they're all out there they're out there.
Yeah, yeah, Like, why spend the seven million dollars if you're
not going to like create the anticipation or whatever. Right, And I love
and this is something that we're we're losing in the society and have been for
years, that that discovery of everybody discovering at the same time something the whole
nation basically is watching the Super Bowl and we're all in real time watching these
commercials and enjoying them and being surprised by them. Now they're all out there
a week or two ahead of time, and you feel like you have to
go check them out, right because people are talking about this one or that
one in Jennifer Aniston, David Swimmer, what are they doing? And you
know, so you feel there feels like there's this pressure to see them before.
And then you know when you are watching it at that party or we're
with friends or wherever and half of the people have seen it already, then
you know it's not really as fun. But that said, they're all out
there, so you can go check them out. I think door Dash is
doing something very interesting. Okay where this year they're they're doing a I don't
know the contest. I guess you would call it where they are going to
door dash you one winner everything that's in the ads of the other Super Bowl
ads, So so from Dorito's to BMW's, somebody's gonna get like all the
cars, They're going to get everything. Okay, so that's pretty cool.
Okay, what's the one? The Scorsese one is for where is that for
Square Space? And it's a whole commercial about how we're a little too involved
with our devices and things like that, and he's actually in it as well.
He makes an appearance at the end. Okay, of the ones that
you've seen, is there or or you know that are coming up? Is
there any one that you think, oh, we should watch for this one?
You know, I like the Jennifer Andiston and David Schwimmer Uber eats one
and the jelly rolls in there as well. You know, there's some funny
stuff in there. Uh. There's also a joke about peanut allergies, which
is prompted some backlash. Well yeah, from the people who are allergic to
peanuts. Food Allergy Research Education Organization was not happy about making fun of peanut
allergies. So you know, there's people are gonna be upset about anything there
is. I like, I've mentioned many times on this station that I'm a
big pickleball fan and E Trade has a pickleball and baby combination of a commercial,
which you can't go wrong with that. Budweiser after all, the bud
Light thing is trying to rehab their image, so they got the Clydesdale's back.
They're going old school and there's a dog in that as well, so
Clydesdale and dog and a dog man. So I'm into anything with dogs.
So you know, I'll be watching the Puppy Bowldy. I know. The
Puppy bul is at eleven on Animal Planet. Love the Puppy Bull, I
know. And there's be watching for Grayson. He's an Australian shepherd. He
was rescued from a Walmart parking lot. Aw now he's going to be in
Puppy Bull, so he's going to find a home. Ah, go Grayson,
I know. ABC's Jason Nathanson. Thank you so much for sharing all
your information. Now I'm actually really interested in some of these super Bowl there
we go. Okay, good it worked, Okay, all right, have
