WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.639 Hey, it's Jennifer Jones Lee. You're listening to KFI a M six forty 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:13.160 wake up call on demand on the iHeartRadio app kf KOST HD two Los Angeles, 3 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:22.359 Orange County. You are in the home stretch. Here's Jennifer Jones Lee 4 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:28.039 with your Friday morning wake up call. You ever have one of those mornings 5 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.520 where you wake up and you actually feel pretty good, They're like, yeah, 6 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.600 it's Friday. WHOA. Then you have all kinds of technical issues. 7 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.240 And I always feel sort of helpless when there's a technical issue because I like 8 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.960 to fix stuff. I like to I don't like anything being in chaos or 9 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.439 unknown or something like that. So it's just a lot of technical problems before 10 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.159 the show started, and everything's fine now, but it just makes me nervous 11 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.799 and I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed when I can't fix something. You have to 12 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.719 call for help. Hate asking for help. I mean, in my old 13 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.599 age, I've figured out that I have to ask for helping my whold age, 14 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.840 but man, I hate it. But that's here and her there. 15 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.760 I've got kind of a fun wake up call for you this morning because of 16 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.319 some of the business stories that I actually found that every down. And then 17 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.319 when I wake up and I'm trying to find you know, business stories that 18 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.879 happen overnightemly may nothing sounds that great. I've got a story about how you 19 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:38.280 can make your Mercedes faster. I've got a Southwest story that I think is 20 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:44.519 gonna completely annoy the pants off you. I've got bedbath and beyond coupon stories. 21 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.920 Oh, it's not just the container's store that wants to take them anymore. 22 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.879 And what is Target doing that might make your shopping experience different at the 23 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.760 store? Target's kind of that one place where I go where I know the 24 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.400 layout of the store and I can go from one side to the other and 25 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:08.840 get everything from pillows to adville to you a new set of headphones, to 26 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:15.759 then whatever my pasta or something like that. Now they're screwing it all up. 27 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.520 I'll tell you how. Also, we have a sergeant with the LAPD 28 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.280 recovering after having a portion of his finger bitten off on the platform of Metro's 29 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.639 redline. And then what day would be complete without their mismanagement locally? And 30 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.240 I'll tell you which community says there is complete mismanagement of the bear population. 31 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.599 Five O five we're going to talk about the GDP, the PC and WTH 32 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.479 if you don't know what all that means, right, and we'll see why 33 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.319 the stock market rallied yesterday. All that's coming up in just a few minutes, 34 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.560 but let's start with some of these stories coming out of the KFI twenty 35 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.560 four hour newsroom. A sergeant with the LAPD is recovery after having a portion 36 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:07.120 of his finger bitten off on a platform of Match Metro's Red Line, and 37 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.840 unfortunately, doctor say they were unable to reattach that portion of his. Sources 38 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.520 in the LAPD say the sergeant and two officers were escorting a writer off the 39 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.680 train yesterday who did not have a TAP card, and while doing that, 40 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.719 they noticed drug paraphernalia, including a meth pipe. During the packdown, the 41 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.560 man attacked officers and bit off part of the sergeant's right pinky. An attack 42 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.039 happened at the Santa Monica Vermont station. The man was booked for mayhem. 43 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.080 An assault on a police officer in downtown LA Steve Gregory King, if I 44 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.479 knew there was a picture floating around on the internet last night of the officer 45 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.639 and he just had like a band aid kind of looking thing on his pinkie. 46 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:49.639 But I was thinking to myself, how much that must hurt. Think 47 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.240 about when you get your finger caught in the card or we've all done that, 48 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.879 and how bad that pain is. This guy got a portion of his 49 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:04.319 finger bitten off. A former LAPD officer accused of raping a minor before he 50 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.879 joined the department has been let out of jail. The La County DA's office 51 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:15.199 says the case has been returned to law enforcement for more investigation. Diego Lopez 52 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.800 was assigned to the LAPD's North Hollywood area. The department says he resigned when 53 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:26.120 he was confronted with the rape allegations. Samernardino County Sheriff Shanna and Dicas says 54 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.040 people need to pressure lawmakers into amending or removing failed justice reform. Dicas says 55 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.560 Props. Forty seven and fifty seven combined have taken the teeth out of accountability, 56 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.319 but making sense of some felonies, or by making some of the feloniese 57 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:46.199 misdemeanors and giving early release to thousands of prisoners, you know there's a prison 58 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.519 consequence with a felony hanging over your head. Then you actually see people go 59 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:56.680 and get drug rehabilitation. Interesting, he says there is a correlation between the 60 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.800 spike and violent crimes and the release of seven thousand parole he's in his county, 61 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.279 six hundred of whom are unaccounted for. He cautions that judicial reforms have 62 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.920 a lot of sway with state lawmakers. Probably a lot of listeners this morning 63 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.319 are going, wth is the GDP and the PC. Well, he's here 64 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.079 to explain it. Caleb Silver, the editor in chief of investopedia dot com, 65 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.720 Good morning, good morning, and I dk if I can do all 66 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.160 this, but I'll give it my best. Ah, well done, well 67 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.879 done. All right, So let's start with the latest GDP numbers, and 68 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.600 are people worried that this could be a recession sort of? I don't know, 69 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.879 like the first sign of oh no, here we go. Yeah. 70 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.639 Well, GDP that's gross domestic product that is really the sum of all the 71 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.120 goods and services we produce and sell in this country. That came in for 72 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.279 the first quarter at one point one percent. That's pretty slow, given that 73 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.360 we were at about two point six percent in the fourth quarter of last year 74 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.480 and twenty twenty two was about two percent. So yeah, the economy slow. 75 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.720 And probably going to slow again this quarter, and that's a telltale sign 76 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.360 of a recession. And when you just have slowing economic growth quarter after quarter, 77 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.720 consumers, though, are still spending. That's keeping the economy propped up. 78 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.639 We know that GDP is really seventy percent consumer spending. So as long 79 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.560 as we keep spending, even though we're running deeper into debt, we're kind 80 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.319 of holding the economy at bay at the moment. But all signs really do 81 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.560 point to a slowdown or some sort of a recession, and you're starting to 82 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.879 feel it in different parts of the market right now. I saw a headline 83 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.439 last night that said the US might be might well be facing stagflation. What 84 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.319 exactly is stagflation? And do you agree with that? Yeah, it is 85 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.199 not one of those crazy bachelor parties that you hear about on the back pages 86 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:46.319 of the newspaper. Stagflation is slowing growth and rising unemployment. And stagflation could 87 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.199 last for a year, sometimes even decades. Japan went through it for a 88 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.399 very long time. We had a period of it here and in the late 89 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.759 seventies. So stagplation is that period of slowing growth. But when you see 90 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.959 joblessness start to rise, a little bit more. That said, we still 91 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.240 have unemployment below four percent, so we're not quite there yet. This is 92 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.399 a weird time in the economy right now where different parts are working pretty well. 93 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.000 The service is part of the economy's working all right, we're traveling, 94 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.800 we're spending money on those types of things. We're starting to spend a little 95 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.360 bit more out in restaurants, etc. But the goods part of the economy, 96 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.800 where we do a lot of production, that's slowing, and you're seeing 97 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.720 businesses start to cut back both on employees and on the money that they're spending 98 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.319 in terms of building inventories because they think sales are going to slow in the 99 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.519 next two quarters as well. Okay, so I'm teasing out of something that 100 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.519 you just said. You were talking about travel going well. I've got some 101 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:39.319 numbers from Southwest that I'm going to talk about in the next segment that i 102 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.920 think are annoying me. It's annoying me that Southwest is doing so well. 103 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.759 So I'll get into that in just a few minutes, if you would. 104 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.319 What is the PC now that you want to talk about. PC is the 105 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:55.800 personal consumption expenditures index. This is another way of measuring inflation. In fact, 106 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.439 this is the way the FED prefers to look at inflation. And that 107 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.240 number comes out and about twenty two minutes. This is the last inflation report 108 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.480 we're going to get before the FED meets next week to raise interest rates, 109 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.800 probably another quarter of a percent. So this is the last data point, 110 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.639 and this is going to come in around four or four point one percent. 111 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.959 Remember the Fed wants that number closer to two percent. So it's a really 112 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.879 good measure of inflation because it's a little bit more dynamic than CPI, the 113 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.040 consumer price index. This is a little bit more dynamic, So the Fed 114 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.839 is going to be looking at this number. I think the decision is already 115 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.879 made in terms of raising interest rates another quarter of a point next week, 116 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.480 but that could be we could be done with interest rate hikes for a while, 117 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.080 and that may be why the stock market perked up a little bit yesterday, 118 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.320 even though corporate earnings reports that are coming in right now are kind of 119 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.519 tampering that enthusiasm down. But this is it. This is the last inflation 120 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.279 report before that big meeting next week. We're going to be keeping a close 121 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:46.759 eye on it, all right, Caleb, thank you. As always, 122 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.399 I appreciate it. Thank you, have a great weekend. Hey you two, 123 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:56.000 see you later. That is investopedia dot COM's editor in chief Caleb Silver. 124 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.320 I think you two are going to be annoyed with the Southwest story because 125 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.440 I'll give you even a little bit more of a tease if you are one 126 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:15.039 of the people who got caught in the holiday meltdown. Oh, this one's 127 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.159 going to be a bee in your bonnet, I promise you. And assemblyman 128 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.399 from Torrance has introduced a bill to boost teacher and school employee pay by fifty 129 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:30.159 percent. By twenty thirty, teachers earned twenty three point five percent less than 130 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:35.879 they're similarly educated peers. Democratic Assemblyman Al Mursuchi says college students list low pay 131 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.399 as the number one reason to not go into teaching, and countries like Finland 132 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:46.240 and Singapore teacher salaries are competitive with jobs and engineering, law and business. 133 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.759 He says many teachers and school employees can't afford to live in the area where 134 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.919 they work. The bill introduced this week would be paid for through a state 135 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.679 grant funding formula. Corbin Carson k if I News, a state Senator from 136 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.120 Riverside, is pushing a bill to make an opioid overdose reversal drug available for 137 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.000 many institutions. State Senator Richard Roth says nilock zone would be available at no 138 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.679 cost for schools, local health agencies, law enforcement, first responders, and 139 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.840 community organizations. The bill cleared its first committee this week on its way to 140 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:30.240 the Senate Appropriations Committee. Sierra Madre says rare it's mad at the state's mismanagement 141 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.440 of the local bear population, and the city claims it's a threat to public 142 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.360 safety. Officials have called on the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to take 143 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:43.519 action. The impetus is to put on the agencies responsible for this to find 144 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.960 a better solution than what they are currently employing. Er pro Tem Kelly Creep 145 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.720 says the department is not paying enough attention to the problem. Three people in 146 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.519 Sierra Madre been seriously injured by a bear in the last six years. The 147 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.320 Department of Fici and Wildlife says it's been very active in Sierra Madre. It 148 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.399 says it's updating its statewide bear management plan in cr. Madre, Blake Trolley 149 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.879 k if I news well, from bears to deer, there's a blacktailed mule 150 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:13.240 deer that has become the first wild animal in California to get COVID nineteen. 151 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.559 State wildlife officials say the deer was found in El Dorado County by rangers who 152 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.480 thought the deer had chronic wasting disease. I don't even know what that is. 153 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.240 It's not known how the deer got the virus, but officials say state 154 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:33.360 veterinarians and medical professionals are working to better understand how the virus might move between 155 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.600 animals and people. Officials say there is no evidence the virus is transmitted from 156 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.159 infected meat. The US Census Bureau says about one in four households that got 157 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.879 extra help during the pandemic have reported not having enough to eat. That's because 158 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.679 an emergency program through the federal government SNAP program was discontinued March first. ABC's 159 00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:00.840 Anne Flaherty says a survey estimates monthly SNAP payments have declined for about thirty two 160 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:05.360 million people. The survey says a household of four with a net monthly income 161 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.320 of two thousand dollars got nearly nine hundred dollars more in SNAP benefits in early 162 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.919 twenty twenty three than they did before the pandemic started. Now, the end 163 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.480 of the program means the households get six hundred dollars less each month. The 164 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.960 exact reduction in benefit amount varies, but the Census says households get at least 165 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:31.320 ninety five dollars less per month. Tourist attraction in California is being closed because 166 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.399 of possible flooding. Member We talked about this yesterday, how the snow melt. 167 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.279 Because of the warm temperatures that we're getting this weekend nineties near one hundred 168 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.120 in the central Valley area, it's going to melt all the snow, and 169 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.120 they're supposed to be winds that go through there as well, so we're going 170 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.519 to get sort of that hair dryer effect on top of the melting snow, 171 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.840 just from the temperatures. The National Park Service says most of Yosemite Valley will 172 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.600 be closed from ten o'clock this morning through at least next Wednesday because of the 173 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.600 expected flooding. The mer Said River in Yosemite National Park is expected to reach 174 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.480 floodstage this weekend, and there's a Park Service alert that says flooded roads and 175 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:18.000 infrastructure will make it unsafe for you to visit Yosemite Valley and here's one. 176 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.120 I've never seen this one before, although I would have loved to have been 177 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.320 in the courtroom for this one. Pop star Ed Sheeran was singing on the 178 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.080 witness stand to defend himself in this copyright infringement trial, so he had. 179 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.960 He's accused of copying parts of Marvin Gay's nineteen seventy three hit Let's Get It 180 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.320 On for his ballad from twenty fourteen, thinking out loud, Oh, Tyler 181 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:50.200 says he's actually got it. Okay, let me hear it, Tyler, 182 00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:01.399 Well be loving you too seventy Okay, Tyler, you say you've got the 183 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:15.480 mixed down of the two songs. Let's hear it two seventy. I mean, 184 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.960 okay, maybe they have kind of the same I don't know, beat, 185 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.919 and maybe they're kind of in the same key, although if you told 186 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.720 me Ed Shearon's was in like a whatever key. This is something sharp. 187 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.600 I don't know, Tyler, what do you think? I think that our 188 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:43.519 Michelle and Anne in there. But I will say that while they sound similar, 189 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:48.759 they're different enough yes where I don't think that this is something that should 190 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.840 be setting the precedent for music making going forward. I think that there should 191 00:14:54.919 --> 00:15:00.759 be you should be able as an artist to make callbacks. Yes, because 192 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.960 all artists nowadays are influenced by artists from the past. Well, that's what 193 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.480 exactly what I was gonna say. I wonder if ed Shearon ever has a 194 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.480 little Marvin Gay kind of going on in his background, because anybody, I 195 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.919 mean, I'm a very I'm a crappy songwriter. I am no Taylor Swift, 196 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.919 but there are times when I'm putting together a song and there's something in 197 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.080 the back that reminds me of, oh, hey, you know what. 198 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.519 This reminds me of the Rascal Flat song whatever, or it reminds me of 199 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:39.799 the Edwin McCain's song whatever. It's also music we're all trained to. When 200 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.039 you're putting something together, and say you're in the key of G or something 201 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.240 like that, you have certain chords that you're gonna play. Right, You're 202 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.159 gonna play a C and an F and a G and an E minor because 203 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.720 that's the way that it goes. So could a song that I'm writing sound 204 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:03.879 similar to god forbid a Taylor Swift song, Yes, because there are only 205 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:10.440 so many notes in that key. And then on top of that, you've 206 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.799 got a certain beat. So what if you're in the same key with the 207 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:19.159 same beat as somebody else. That is probable when you're putting a song together. 208 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.559 Anyway, I just thought it was fascinating that there's Ed Shearon on the 209 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:32.480 witness stand playing thinking out loud to himself essentially. He also played some chords 210 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.320 on his acoustic guitar to show how his song differed from the Marvin Gay hit. 211 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:44.200 Now he's actually going to testify again when the trial resumes on Monday. 212 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.000 But I bet the fact that we didn't know that he was going to be 213 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.600 on the stand singing and playing yesterday, I bet that had a big thing 214 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.960 to do with the popularity of this. Like I'm saying, if there were 215 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.840 five reporters in the courtroom on Friday, they're going to be twenty five on 216 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.400 Monday, hoping that they get to see something like this. All right, 217 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.000 let's get into your biz bites this morning that I've got a little am radio 218 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.880 alert for you when we wrap it up. Do you have a Mercedes Benz 219 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:23.319 and do you want to increase its horsepower by sixty You could for sixty dollars 220 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:30.039 a month or go for eighty horsepower. Increase for ninety dollars a month. 221 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.519 Hey about a second. Yeah, the map doesn't d up there for the 222 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.079 eighty, for the ninety sixty, for twenty more horsepower, But I gotta 223 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.160 pay sixty bucks for sixty horse power. Yeah, I know it's not right, 224 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.599 it's not right right. However, I don't know if you, if 225 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.839 you have out there anybody, If you have a Mercedes, they go plenty 226 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:59.000 fast. You don't need this extra month, although I guess if you've got 227 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.640 sixty bucks or nine bucks to throw at it, have at it all day 228 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.599 long. You don't have to visit a Mercedes dealer to get the upgrade either, 229 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.559 even you can even leave it in your driveway. It's the added power 230 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:19.039 which will provide a nearly one second decrease from zero to sixty acceleration that'll be 231 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.880 available on an over the air software patch. Shame on you, Mercedes. 232 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.559 Shame well, it's a really you're going to pay sixty bucks a month, 233 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.039 seven hundred bucks a year, seven twenty a year to have a one second 234 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:44.559 decrease in your zero to sixty acceleration so that you can get the additional horsepower. 235 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.680 Dumb, dumb, spend your sixty dollars somewhere else. That's what I 236 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.920 say. It's not just the Container Store that's going to take those expired bed 237 00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.279 bathroom Beyond coupons, the you know, twenty percent off one item or twenty 238 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.559 percent off your whole purchase kind of thing. Now Big Lots is saying that 239 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.480 it is assisting shoppers nationwide. Is the way it put it by accepting the 240 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:14.519 bed Bathroom Beyond coupons until May seventh. Big Lots says our mission is to 241 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:19.400 help people live big and save lives, and the Container's store says you can 242 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.799 bring your coupons in through May thirty. First, all right, here's the 243 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:30.400 story that I have a feeling if you were one of the people who was 244 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.119 stuck at the airport during the Southwest holiday meltdown, and you were one of 245 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.880 the people who couldn't get out on Christmas Day, maybe I had to work. 246 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.200 I have a friend who's a firefighter. He just couldn't get out any 247 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.480 sooner than Christmas Day, got stuck at the airport, totally missed Christmas Day. 248 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:56.880 Now, Southwest says it's booking in March were strong, allowing revenue to 249 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:02.720 soar twenty two percent to five point seven billion. Dollars. That was up 250 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.640 from a year ago, and that included the effects that were still on the 251 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:15.599 airline from the COVID cases. I mean, the strong demand. I guess 252 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.960 we don't care. I guess if you're you're trying to get to point A, 253 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.039 you know, or eight from point A two point b, you don't 254 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.079 care. If you're helping Southwest make money, you're going to be pissed if 255 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.240 your plane doesn't go out on time, which I don't know if you fly 256 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.559 south It's really the only airline I fly, because I usually only go from 257 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:41.920 here to either the Bay Area or to Sacramento. It sucks. I just 258 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:48.599 plan on delays. That's that's more the you know SP the standard operating procedure, 259 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.279 it seems of Southwest. And I mean there have been times where I've 260 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.799 got to the airport found out my flight was going to be like two hours 261 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.079 delayed, and I end up just going and I forget it and I drive 262 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.440 instead. I know it's a sucky drive to Reading it's like nine hours, 263 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:11.119 but still so anyway, it's just annoyed the pants off me last night that 264 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:18.519 Southwest had record revenues, even though every holiday traveler during that meltdown got screwed 265 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:26.200 over. One of the strategies that Target is using during its efforts to curb 266 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.480 shoplifting. Remember the story we were talking about about certain stores locking things up. 267 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.160 Target is the most recent one. The company says it's keeping all items 268 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:44.480 in the personal care aisle at a location on San Francisco's Folsom Street in the 269 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:49.119 lockshelves. So now if you need to go get I don't know, toothpaste, 270 00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:55.200 toothbrush, deodorant, that kind of stuff, it's all gonna be behind 271 00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:00.960 plastic at certain Target locations where the shoplifting has been prevalent. Folsom Street, 272 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.559 right there in the financial district San Francisco, not far from the tender Loin, 273 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.480 which is the district where all the homeless people live. And it's I 274 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.440 mean, it's just drugs down the street. You walk down the street, 275 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:17.880 there are needles. I don't know that I've ever been in the tender Loin 276 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.440 and not seen needles, and this isn't far from that area locked up. 277 00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:27.720 A lawmaker from Torrance has introduced a bill that would hike teacher pay in the 278 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:33.839 state by fifty percent over the next seven years. A decision has been delayed 279 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.680 on whether the Massachusetts Air National guardsmen suspected of leaking that classified military documents or 280 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:44.200 all of those should remain in jail until his trial. And there's a memorial 281 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.160 mass for LA Mayor Richard Reardon, who is being held or that is being 282 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.240 held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown LA. Dozens 283 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:57.279 of local officials passed and present are expected at the service this afternoon, including 284 00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:02.759 current LA Mayor Karen Back. Reardon died at his home last week in Brentwood. 285 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.400 He was ninety two. Hey, there's talk about AM radio being removed 286 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.319 from new cars and trucks. That would remove access to the very AM radio 287 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:18.480 stations that millions of Americans count on for local emergency information, especially when your 288 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.160 cell phone is dead. You're not going to get one a little one line 289 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:26.000 text alert because the cell towers are down in an emergency, right, So 290 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.039 when emergencies do occur, it's your local broadcast radio station that is there for 291 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:34.920 you, providing wall to wall coverage, life saving information and a live connection 292 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:40.799 to the crisis. So make your voice heard on this issue. Text the 293 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.880 letters AM to five two, eight, eight six and tell Congress to keep 294 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.519 AM radio in all cars and trucks. Standard messaging rates apply ab season as 295 00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:55.279 de la Kutera joins us. Now this morning, Oh, let's talk about 296 00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.119 the coronation for King Charles and what the pomp and circumstance is expected to be. 297 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.440 Good morning in z Hey, good morning, yet just over a week 298 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.240 ago until the King's coronation, and we are learning more about how this will 299 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:12.000 all unfold. So the Palace overnight releasing a document essentially explaining who's going to 300 00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.079 be doing what, and they're saying that there's going to be a diverse range 301 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.279 of players involved here. So there's going to be members of the armed forces, 302 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.359 descendants from the country's oldest families, but also people from public life, 303 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.119 so for instance, an actor from Queen Camilo's favorite radio show, as well 304 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:32.000 as a former TV host and racial equality champion. All major faiths in the 305 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:36.640 UK will be represented, and the Palace is saying that the coronation will reflect 306 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.640 the fact that we are in the twenty first century, that times have changed, 307 00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.720 so that's part of the reason we'll be seeing such a diverse range of 308 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:48.279 players. The ceremonies themselves have also been adapted, so these are very ancient 309 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.200 rituals that have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and the Palace 310 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:56.440 says they have now been freshly interpreted for the modern day. So, you 311 00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:57.960 know, I think the coronation in and of itself will be an exciting time 312 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.519 because rarely see events like a coordination happening, but this one will be all 313 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.759 the more exciting because we're gonna have to you know, I think it'll be 314 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.039 interesting to see how the Palace will have reimagined some of these ancient rituals. 315 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:17.200 Who's going and who got snubbed? So the big that's a big question here. 316 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:21.279 The big name that the one, you know person they think everybody was 317 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:25.599 looking forward to or to see what she would decide, is of course Megan 318 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.680 Marcole. She's going to be staying behind in California with her children, and 319 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.480 Prince Harry though for his part, will be attending. So that's gonna be 320 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:38.160 significant, you know, with this Prince Harry and Megan marco making all sorts 321 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:44.319 of allegations damning claims about the royal family in recent weeks and months, with 322 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.599 you know, in that That Place documentary, in TV interviews of course, 323 00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.720 in Harry's book Spare and so um, this will be the first time we 324 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.119 see him, you know, publicly interacting with his brother with the King, 325 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.200 so all eyes are going to be on those interactions. Okay, Megan Markle, 326 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:06.039 did she get invited or is she just staying back as a sort of 327 00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:07.440 I don't know show of I don't want to be a part of this. 328 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.200 Yeah, they're saying that she's staying back to just be with her children in 329 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:18.680 California. There was all sorts of speculation recently, with the British press reporting 330 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:21.839 that she actually wasn't going to be attending because of a letter she had sent 331 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.640 to King Charles about unconscious bias in the royal family and that they had kind 332 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.720 of had a falling falling out over that and that that was the reason she 333 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.000 wasn't coming. She slammed down, you know, she shut down those rumors, 334 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.000 slammed the British press port for reporting that and said that that was absolutely 335 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.839 ridiculous, that that has nothing to do with why she's not going. So 336 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.400 um, you know, still still some questions there. She's we're not really 337 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.200 getting a whole lot of insight into her thinking, but they are framing it 338 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.000 as she's staying in California with her children. All Right, I guess we 339 00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.400 have to take it at that at this point, how long does a coronation 340 00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.599 last. She's gonna be several days, three days, and you know, 341 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:06.039 lots of pomp and pageantry and and lots of processions and ancient rituals probably you 342 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:08.559 know, similar to to some of the stuff we saw during the jubilee last 343 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:14.000 year. Um, but the public is also being encouraged to celebrate it and 344 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:15.720 to kind of join in here. So there's going to be, for instance, 345 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.240 on one of the days, the public is being encouraged to hold what 346 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:23.640 they're calling at coronation big lunch events, so they they're encouraging people around the 347 00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:29.599 country to hold their own lunches with members of their community to celebrate the king's 348 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.680 coronation. So, um, it's it's gonna be. I think there's gonna 349 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:34.440 be, yeah, a variety of different events, and it's really just going 350 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.799 to be one big party and then and and the mood is just is meant 351 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.640 to be fessive and fun. I was reading up on one of like one 352 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.799 of the menu items. I guess that is, uh, that is Charles 353 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.599 and Camilla's favorite, and it's like a Keish dish, but it's a Keish 354 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:57.599 dish that had like shredded chicken and butter beans in it. And I was 355 00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:02.440 thinking, you know, that's quiche that I've ever had is like cheese and 356 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.000 bacon, or cheese and broccoli or something like that. But I'm not sure 357 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:12.160 I'm okay with a bean and chicken keiche. That sounds horrible. That's just 358 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.960 kind of strange. And I live in France, so I think the average 359 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.599 French person would probably tell you that that does not qualify as a keishy, 360 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.559 you know, so I think, yeah, yeah, keep an eye on 361 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.680 the French criticism on that. I had not seen that headline. That's funny. 362 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.799 Yeah, details are going to be coming out. We're starting to see 363 00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:36.200 reports also what people are going to be wearing and all of that. So 364 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:41.000 Slatsa and I saw there was also they just moved a big stone that's a 365 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.640 very ancient historic stone that has been used for coronations for hundreds and hundreds of 366 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.279 years, and that was just moved this morning from Scotland to London. So 367 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.640 we're gonna be learning more and more about these kind of fun, quirky details 368 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.240 over the next few days, all right, thank you so much, and 369 00:28:55.319 --> 00:29:00.119 as how fun, thank you all right, see you later. That is 370 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:07.400 ABC's Inez Dela Kuta. I'm trying to pull up the the recipe on this 371 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:22.119 and let's see. So the recipe has tarragon chicken broad beans as they call 372 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.640 it, which is kind of like a butterbean. Here, those big fat 373 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.599 white beans that you might get in like a I don't know I've seen him 374 00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:34.359 in like you know, a cowboy beans or something like that. That sounds 375 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:42.160 terrible, in like a kiche so with eggs. Oh god, Wayne, 376 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:47.920 if he's listening, he hates eggs periods though I can't even imagine his gag 377 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:55.920 reflex hearing that. Finally, Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer, which launched immediately 378 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.160 after bud Light had its Dylan mulvany influen and sir, who's you know he's 379 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:06.559 transgender or she's transgender, and bud Light got all the backlash for using Dylan 380 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:11.640 mulvaney as a spokesperson. This Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer. So imagine bud 381 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:17.000 Light in a can with where it's kind of vertical. Bud Light, this 382 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:22.920 says ultra right on it. This has only been in business for twelve days. 383 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:30.000 An Ultra Right beer is expected to surpass a million dollars in sales by 384 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:38.319 Sunday, gaining over ten thousand customers and selling twenty thousand six packs since it 385 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:45.240 launched in April. Now, the Ultra Right CEO Seth Weathers told Fox Business 386 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:49.839 this is more than a beer company. We are a movement of people speaking 387 00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:55.480 up and saying no, we're done. This is our line in the sand, 388 00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.880 or your bubbles in the beer, as the case may be. Any 389 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.759 So, there you go. So that's the big flipping of the bird, 390 00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:12.000 shall we say, from Ultra Right Conservatives to bud Light, using Dylan mulvaney 391 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:18.599 as a spokesperson. You just can't make this stuff up. Jason Nathanson, 392 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:25.400 Good morning to you, ABC's entertainment correspondent. So I remember as a kid. 393 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:30.079 I think this was like standard reading for every kid in the seventies and 394 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.680 eighties, or every girl anyway, Judy Bloom smash Hit. Are you there? 395 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.960 God, it's me Margaret, And now it's coming to a movie theater 396 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.559 near you. However, it always makes me nervous when kind of a I 397 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.839 don't know what, a tween classic or something like that hits the big screen, 398 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.960 because you wonder is it gonna be as good as the book and does 399 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:55.839 the author like it? Sure? And with this and I was trying to 400 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.039 remember, I know I read it. I don't remember if it was a 401 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:00.960 part of school that I read it or if it was outside of school. 402 00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:06.799 But this is definitely it's one of the and it's been banned at some schools 403 00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.000 over the years. Uh. There, you know, there's a lot of 404 00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.799 history with this book. Also, it's from nineteen seventy so it's been a 405 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:19.839 classic for fifty three years and nobody's made it a movie until now, which 406 00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.559 is a little bit strange, right because you would think Hollywood wants to adapt 407 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.720 everything, you know, everything, every book that it can get its hands 408 00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:29.960 on, and this has not happened yet. So you know, a lot 409 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:34.680 of things to wonder about this. Uh, this was done with Judy Bloom's 410 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.440 consent and with her you know, she she was part of the process. 411 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.000 She even has a little cameo in there, so if you know what she 412 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.440 looks like, you look to spot her. Um. It's very very quick 413 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.559 though, I'll just tell you that. And it's if you don't remember the 414 00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.640 school. I Again, like I said, I read it, I don't 415 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.160 remember the story at all, so um, and I think a lot of 416 00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.200 people going into it it will feel the same way. So it's not like 417 00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.480 even that I could say, oh, it didn't stick to the book, 418 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:06.039 or it did. I don't really remember, and I think that's going to 419 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.079 be the case for a lot of people. It starts Abby Ryder Forston, 420 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.359 who plays Margaret. She you might remember her. She was the original young 421 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:16.119 daughter in the ant Man movies opposite Paul Rudd. She's growing up down becoming 422 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:21.000 a fantastic actress. She's a sixth grader, she's just on the edge of 423 00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.359 hitting puberty, right, So things are changing, bodies changing, her family's 424 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:28.440 changing. This is also, by the way, set still in nineteen seventy. 425 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:30.440 They didn't bring it up, they didn't modernize anything. Yeah. I 426 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.759 think I think that was a good touch there. Yeah. So she is 427 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.519 also as all these changes are going on around her and within her, she's 428 00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:44.759 also thinking about religion because her dad is Jewish, her mom, who's played 429 00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.839 by Rachel McAdams, who's very good as well. Her mom was well was 430 00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:52.680 kind of was formally Christian, and they decided not to raise their daughter with 431 00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:57.480 any religion and told her she could figure it out for herself and you know, 432 00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.160 choose whatever religion she wants. And so she's kind of going through different 433 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:05.559 religions and exploring them and looking at them, which is also very I think, 434 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.400 an interesting storyline. The film itself, it's charming, it's sweet. 435 00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:13.880 It has this old school feel to it, which we I think, I 436 00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.320 feel like we don't get movies like this a lot these days. I feel 437 00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.440 like Meg Ryan could have been in a version of this from the nineties and 438 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.320 maybe even Tom Hanks. Uh. It's I really enjoyed it. I think 439 00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:30.039 for families, especially with kids at this age, I think it's gonna be 440 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:36.280 great. Open up some great conversations as well, and it'll be Kathy Bates 441 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.000 also is in it. She plays with the grandmother. She's She's She's fantastic. 442 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:44.639 There's a lot to like for this movie, and I enjoyed it. 443 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.519 Okay, that's awesome, all right, what about a small light? I 444 00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:52.639 had not heard about this. Yeah, this is a mini series coming to 445 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:58.199 nat Geo starting on Monday. First two episodes will be on there and then 446 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.559 the next day on disney p Us. This is about the It's it's the 447 00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.519 Anne Frank's story, but kind of with a twist. We I think a 448 00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.039 lot of people know the Anne Frank story. Again, that's a book definitely 449 00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:13.440 had to read in school, and I think a lot of people know that 450 00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.440 story and are very familiar with that story, and that's been told on the 451 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:21.559 screen a couple of times. This is from the viewpoint of Meep Geese, 452 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.320 who was She was a young woman who worked for Otto Frank and Frank's father 453 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:32.039 and she helped hide them and the other family in the attic. And she 454 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.159 was also a you know, young woman living in Amsterdam going through the Nazi 455 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:42.320 occupation and also how she got involved with the resistance and her husband gets involved 456 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:47.039 with the resistance. This is a fantastic mini series, which you know, 457 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.199 it's not Geo not necessarily known for their great mini series, although they have 458 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.079 had a couple of really good ones, but not to this level of quality. 459 00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.760 This is like HBO level quality mini series. It's gonna be Emmy nominated 460 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:07.679 and competing. And Bell Polly who who stars and plays me pikis alongside Lee 461 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.599 Schreiber who plays Otto Frank. Leaf Schreiber is very good in this. I 462 00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:14.320 you know, I think sometimes we forget how good of an actor he is. 463 00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.519 But bell poly who is the star. It does a very very good 464 00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:22.360 job, and again we'll see her nominated for stuff. I interviewed Leev Schreiber 465 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.800 one time. Yeah, he was kind of a twit, I gotta be 466 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.000 honest. Interesting. Yeah, I'm glad he's a good actor because I did 467 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:35.079 not have a good ten minutes with him or whatever. I think a lot 468 00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:42.320 of people expect that he's going to be uh maybe rude or abrasive or kind 469 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.000 of short with his answers. I've had nothing but fantastic experiences with him. 470 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.320 Okay, maybe I just got him on a bad day, or maybe it's 471 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.559 just you, or maybe it's just Jason for going straight there. I don't 472 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:57.960 appreciate that. Okay, So I like that. You like that one though. 473 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:00.320 So we're two for two on this Yes, what do you think about 474 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:05.440 now? What's the next one? Citadel? What do you think about Citadel? 475 00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.800 Oh? We were two for two. No, we're not going to 476 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:12.440 be three for three on Citadel. Citadel is coming to It's on Prime Video 477 00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:16.320 today. Um. I think there might be a couple of episodes. Um, 478 00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.400 it's already renewed for a second season. This is from Joe and Anthony 479 00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:27.559 Rutho Russo who made the Avengers movie Avengers Endgame, UM and uh Captain America 480 00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:31.039 as well. The stuff that they've done outside of Marvel has been far less 481 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:36.000 well reviewed than the stuff that they did inside of Marvel. This is an 482 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:42.400 action series from what I understand, a very expensive action series for Prime video. 483 00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:46.880 It stars Prianka Chopra jonas Richard Madden. The two of them are spies 484 00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:52.679 or X spies. They're part of this Citadel spy group that was taken down 485 00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:59.639 by Manticore, which is a shadow shadowy group. And Stanley Tucci is also 486 00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:02.199 in it as when this sties doing action stuff which you don't normally see from 487 00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:06.559 Stanley Tucci. That's fun to watch him kind of be a bad guy or 488 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.000 not not a bad guy, but like you know, a guy who's thrown 489 00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:13.480 his weight around and you know, beating people up and doing stuff like that. 490 00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.599 Um, but you know it's just kind of it looks good. I 491 00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:21.719 see where the money is spent, and this cast is wonderful, and the 492 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:23.920 cast and the cast is certainly good. It's just kind of running the mill 493 00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:29.480 generic for me, Like I didn't find anything. There's nothing special or necessarily 494 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.639 I felt like I've seen every beat before. Um oh, I see, 495 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.599 okay, So it wasn't it wasn't necessarily bad. I didn't have a bad 496 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.159 time watching it, just you know, it's not something I think, Yeah, 497 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:42.880 I'm just not going to continue with it. You know, in this 498 00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:45.400 day and age, something really has to grab you in order to keep you 499 00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.280 watching. And it just it didn't grab me. All right, So I 500 00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.559 don't know that I could be grabbed by yet another Peter Pan. Are you 501 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:58.760 serious? Yes, there's another Peter Pan. There seems like there's been a 502 00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.639 lot of Peter Pan, right, I mean it seems like we've we've seen 503 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:05.960 this story over and over and over. Yeah, there's a musical version on 504 00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.039 NBC, right that they did a couple of years ago. Um um, 505 00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:12.440 and then just all the all the others. Uh, this is Peter Pan 506 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.719 and Wendy. It is on Disney Plus. This is the latest Disney version 507 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:21.280 of a live action taking one of their animated classics and making it live action. 508 00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:23.480 Right. They didn't done that with various success. I think Beauty and 509 00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:27.719 the Beast was the was the high point a few years ago, like six 510 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.679 years ago, or so um and did really well at the box office, 511 00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:32.960 and I think they've been trying to recapture that magic ever since. Uh, 512 00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:38.519 the most recent Pinocchio was not good. There was a there was a Dumbo 513 00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:42.760 that was, you know, not good. So they've been a really up 514 00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:47.360 and down. This one is okay, So it's not It's not as bad 515 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:51.199 as you know, some of the worst ones. It's not Beauty and the 516 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:55.000 Beast quality um. But again it begs the question, do we need another 517 00:39:55.039 --> 00:40:00.239 Peter Pan and Wendy Um. This is pretty faithful to the anim made a 518 00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:05.599 nineteen fifty three film and the novel if Jude law Yara Shihiti, Jim Gaffigan 519 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:12.119 as Molly Parker. You have a really good cast here and the guy the 520 00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.199 interesting. The director of it is David Lowry, who directed The Green Night, 521 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:20.679 which it was kind of a cult classic a couple of years ago. 522 00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.760 A lot of people loved it. I was baffled by it, did not 523 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:28.239 understand it. It was the strangest movie. He's an interesting choice to direct 524 00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:31.400 here. But again, and also one of the things I actually like about 525 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:35.760 it is the music is there a little bit, but it's not a full 526 00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.159 blown musical. Oh good, Yeah, yeah, so, because I'm not 527 00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:43.159 really a full blown musical kind of guy. Unless it's I'm going to see 528 00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:45.239 a musical, I don't want it to like break out in music in the 529 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.599 middle of it. Well, and the original was you know it was it 530 00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:52.039 was. The animated film was a musical. I believe it was based off 531 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:57.519 a play originally, which I believe is where some of the music came from. 532 00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:01.039 So this is known as a musical property. But they just have, 533 00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:05.760 you know, snippets of the songs here and there, which I appreciate it. 534 00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:08.079 Jason, You're so much fun. I love Friday's chatting with you. 535 00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:10.559 We'll do it again next week. Can't wait. Looking forward to it. 536 00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:14.880 All right, Thanks to you later. Leef Schreiber. By the way, 537 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:21.159 if you're listening this morning, which I'm sure you are, I think we 538 00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:23.880 should try it again. You know, this was like twenty years ago. 539 00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:29.000 You were kind of just making a name for yourself. Maybe Jason's right, 540 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:37.199 Maybe somehow I was annoying to you, like I'm ever annoying. Please kf 541 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:42.719 I and KOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County. We've got a sunny, 542 00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.440 warm, I mean warm, warm, weekend, so inland highs could be 543 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:50.639 around ninety. Central Valley could see hies around one hundred. That's where we 544 00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:52.960 could see a lot of that snowmelt happening. And then it looks like by 545 00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:58.320 next week, by Monday, we're back in the sixties again and a chance 546 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:01.800 of showers by Tuesday.
