Here's what's ahead on 20 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.280 wake Up Call. President elect Trump has picked former Florida 21 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.000 Attorney General Pam Bondi to be his Attorney general in 22 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.799 his next administration. His previous pick, Former Florida Representative Matt Gates, 23 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.200 took his name out of the running. He's accused of 24 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.959 having sex with a minor. Gates denies it, but says 25 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.400 his nomination had become a distraction. We're going to find 26 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.519 out what happens to Gates now and Bondi's chances of 27 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.280 getting approved with kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, that's 28 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.680 coming up in just a couple of minutes.

The governor apparently hopes to reach 31 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.519 out to working class voters in the Central Valley who 32 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.319 are frustrated by the economy, including Fresno, Caloosa, and Kern 33 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:59.439 Counties to Laurie Kern, San Bernardino and other inland counties 34 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.959 also supported Trump over Vice President Harris. The Thanksgiving travel 35 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.280 crushes already begun. Travelers at LAX are running into delays 36 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.879 and cancelations.

They'll be a little bit 65 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.639 less maybe going out on entertainment, a little bit less travel. 66 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.680 The state's newly tightened fuel standards could push gas prices 67 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.800 upwards starting next year, with some estimates showing more than 68 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.120 sixty cents per gallon. 69 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.479 Michael Monks KFI News. 70 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.680 Sixty cents per gallon. I did notice the gas prices 71 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.360 dropped just a schmidge. It was down to like four 72 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.240 forty the other day, but that's still sixty cents a 73 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.240 gallon increase. Pasadena police are trying to find the guy 74 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.439 who groped a twelve year old girl at a bus stop. 75 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.879 The girl was allegedly assaulted on her way to school 76 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.080 Wednesday as she sat on a bench. Police say the 77 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.000 man took off down Lake Avenue on a bicycle. The 78 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.199 girl called her mother when she got to school and 79 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.439 then police were called. Police have not put out a 80 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.480 description of the man. The Thanksgiving travel crush has already begun. 81 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.680 Travelers like this guy at LAX told KTLA that he 82 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.879 was trying to get a jump on the holiday crowds 83 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.120 but ran into delays. 84 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:35.839 Is his expected, Its busy time. 85 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.120 His flight to Cancun was canceled, so. 86 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.000 We're getting rebooked. 87 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.839 So yeah, it's going to be a couple hours easily. 88 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.839 The TSA expects nearly eighteen million people will be flying 89 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.160 around for the holiday. The Dodgers show, Hey Otani. He 90 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.720 has been named the National League Most Valuable Player. The 91 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.560 vote yesterday by the Baseball Writers Association of America was unanimous. 92 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.439 Otani became the first major league player this year to 93 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.600 ever hit fifty home runs and steal fifty bases in 94 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.839 a single season. He won the MVP in twenty twenty 95 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.240 one and twenty twenty three in the American League during 96 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.639 his time with the Angels. It's five seven on your 97 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.120 Friday morning wake up call. Let's say good morning now 98 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.680 to ABC's White House correspondent John Decker. So, John, a 99 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.759 lot has happened since we talked yesterday morning. And at 100 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.279 this time yesterday we were talking about some of the 101 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.560 challenges that Matt Gates was facing in his nomination for 102 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.800 attorney general. That's changed. 103 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.279 Well, there were real challenges, absolutely, Amy, and yesterday when 104 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.079 we spoke, I predicted that Matt Gates would not be 105 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.319 in that role of a nominee to leave the Department 106 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.480 of Justice for much longer. And a few hours after 107 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.759 we spoke, that's exactly what happened. Matt Gates took himself 108 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.879 out of consideration to leave the Department of Justice. And 109 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.800 then last night we already have a replacement, Donald Trump 110 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.839 indicating that he will nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondy. 111 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.279 She served two terms as Florida's Attorney general as his 112 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.600 nominee to lead the Department of Justice. 113 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.560 Now, she didn't serve in the first Trump administration, but 114 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.800 she's always been a big Trump supporter. 115 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.399 Oh, absolutely, Going all the way back, Amy to twenty sixteen, 116 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.480 there was a competitive primary for the Republican nomination, you 117 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.439 may recall, and Pam Bondy she endorsed Donald Trump over 118 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:33.160 her home state US Senator Mark Rubio. Donald Trump rewards loyalty. 119 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.439 He remembers that she was considered for attorney general in 120 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.319 his first term, ultimately was passed over. But this is 121 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.439 her time, this is her moment, and I think that 122 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:42.720 she will win confirmation. 123 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.680 Any skeletons in her closet that we know about. 124 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.639 No, you know, she is a conservative, no doubt about that. 125 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.879 You know, there are senators who will pass judgment on 126 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.759 her nomination who may not like her politics, may not 127 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.560 like her ideology, but they cannot knock her experience. She 128 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.920 has served more than twenty years as a prosecutor. That 129 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.560 is good experience to have if you're going to be 130 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.600 the chief law enforcement officer of the country. And of 131 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.639 course she's managed an enormous legal office when she was 132 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.399 attorney general for the state of Florida. So I think that, 133 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.519 you know, she may even get some bipartisan support as 134 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.759 it relates to this nomination. 135 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.480 Hey, in the past, and I don't know if you 136 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.360 can answer this, but it's asking you to go back 137 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.040 into the wayback machine. But in the past, when presidents 138 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.759 would nominate their cabinet members, did they usually get bipartisan support? 139 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.199 Like with Supreme Court justices, it used to be that 140 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.519 they got a lot of bipartisan support. But in the 141 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.000 last few cycles. It hasn't been that way. It's been 142 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:45.839 really polarized. 143 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.199 Well yeah, I mean, look, you mentioned Supreme Court Justices 144 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.639 Ruth Bader Ginsburg got unanimous support Republicans and Democrats way 145 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.040 back in the nineties when she was nominated. Same thing 146 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.120 with Justice Anton and Scalia. Things have changed dramatically. I 147 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.360 think that, you know, if you look back to the 148 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.639 Supreme Court nominations of Donald Trump, he got the support 149 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.519 of Joe Manchin, a Democrat. But that's about it. 150 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:13.399 And as it. 151 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.000 Relates to cabinet nominees, typically there is some bipartisanship. You know, 152 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.759 it can't It is not always along party lines, and 153 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.279 there will be some nominees for Donald Trump that do 154 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:26.759 get bipartisan support. 155 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.920 Yeah, okay, So I'm going to go all conspiracy theory 156 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.920 on you and see what see your take on it. 157 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:37.159 So I think that that Trump nominated Matt Gates knowing 158 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.759 that he couldn't get him confirmed, but wanted to, as 159 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.799 you mentioned, reward his loyalty. So he put him up 160 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.679 knowing that there was no way it was going to happen, 161 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.840 and now he can nominate the person he really wanted, 162 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:48.720 which was Pam BONDI. 163 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.840 Well, look, I can't get inside of Donald Trump's head, 164 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.039 nor could you Amy, So I don't know. 165 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.080 That's why I'm just speculating. 166 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.759 The strategy is. But having said all that, he did 167 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.759 work the phones trying to get Matt Gates over the 168 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.440 finish line. That was his first choice. He wanted Matt 169 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.159 Gates leading the Department of Justice, and it wasn't meant 170 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.840 to be for Matt Gates because of his ethics problems, 171 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.879 and he quickly, you know, went with the backup number two. 172 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.039 And you know, I think that he's going to be 173 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.759 pretty satisfied with Pam Bondi leading the Department of Justice, 174 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.200 someone that he's known for quite some time. I think 175 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.200 he's known her longer than he's known Matt Gates. And 176 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.519 he rewards loyalty, and she has been very loyal to 177 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.240 Donald Trump, not only when he was running for president 178 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.960 back in twenty sixteen, but during the course of his 179 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:38.399 four years in office as well. 180 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.600 Okay, and then now the Gates is out, does he 181 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.759 have any options because he's resigned from the House. 182 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.679 Well, it's interesting because he has resigned from the one 183 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:54.120 hundred eighteenth Congress he was elected to the Congress this 184 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.279 past November a few weeks ago. He could actually be 185 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.840 sworn in into the one hundred nineteenth Congress if he 186 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.840 wishes to do that, but he's got this ethics report 187 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.840 hanging over his head, so I don't think he's going 188 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.360 to do that. There's going to be an opening for 189 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.759 the US Senate seat in Florida with Marc Rubio leaving 190 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.679 the Senate to be the next Secretary of State. There's that, 191 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.360 but that's up to the governor. And then, of course 192 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.279 he could potentially be a part of the Trump administration, 193 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.679 but not in a role that requires tenant confirmation. So 194 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.600 those are the options that he has if he wants 195 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.320 to continue being a public servant. Of course, he could 196 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.120 just go, you know, turn around, be a lobbyist, make 197 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.320 a lot of money in the private sector. And my 198 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.799 guess is that's what I think Matt Gates is ultimately 199 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:37.799 going to do right away. 200 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.000 Okay, well, we'll be watching him. ABC's White House correspondent 201 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:42.279 John Decker, thank you so much. 202 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.120 Thanks, Amy, have a great weekend. 203 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:45.720 Talk to you soon. 204 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:46.399 Bye bye. 205 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.320 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 206 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.279 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Rap mogul. Sean 207 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.559 Combs is due back in court today for a bail 208 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.960 hearing in New York City. Kfi's Natalie Migliori says this 209 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.399 is his third try getting out of jail. Is already 210 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.440 denied bail in September and November, but his attorneys are. 211 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.679 Expected to offer the same fifty million dollar baill package 212 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.720 in exchange for an ankle monitor and home confinement. 213 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.480 His attorneys say a video showing Comb's beating up his 214 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.799 ex girlfriend was edited to manipulate the narrative. Combs's charged 215 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.279 with sex trafficking and racketeering. He's deniedal charges. UCLA has 216 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.679 been given a twenty million dollar grant to help implement 217 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:29.679 California's first wireless charging roadway. It will allow electric passenger 218 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.279 shuttles and heavy duty buses to charge wirelessly while they 219 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.000 drive down the street. UCLA Transit and Fleet Director Clinton 220 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.120 Bench says the technology is a game changer. 221 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.240 The bus is actually able to communicate with the charger, 222 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:47.000 identify itself literally in seconds, and allow for that charge 223 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.879 to begin so that we're not wasting any electricity. 224 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.120 The initiative is funded by Cap and Trade, auction proceeds 225 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.960 and vehicle registration fees. The new transit hub is expected 226 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.840 to open in twenty twenty eight. The country's first public 227 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.039 electric vehicle churm Urging roadway, opened last year in Michigan. 228 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.000 The United Nations Humanitarian Office has warned of a stark 229 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.200 increase in the number of households in central and southern 230 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.399 Gaza that are experiencing severe hunger. They say they often 231 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.600 only eat once a day, and experts say a full 232 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.919 blown famine may be underway in the north. Israel says 233 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.399 it allows enough aid to enter, but humanitarian groups say 234 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.960 Israeli restrictions, ongoing fighting, and the breakdown of law and 235 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.759 order pose major obstacles to getting that food distributed. Dozens 236 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.440 of members of Congress are urging President Biden to use 237 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.440 the rest of his term to address the issue of 238 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:41.399 mass incarceration. South Carolina Democratic Congressman James Clyburn says Biden 239 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.480 should use his clemency authority to cut some long prison sentences. 240 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:52.799 So many people who are serving extensive sentences today are 241 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:59.159 there because of crimes that have really. 242 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.360 Lawmakers and a letter also requesting Biden grant clemency to 243 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.039 felons who are elderly chronically ill and not considered a 244 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.679 threat to public safety.

There could be a lot of very sick 283 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.559 people this winter. A new report from the CDC says 284 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.120 roughly thirty five percent of US adults have gotten their 285 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.919 flu vaccine and just eighteen percent have gotten an updated 286 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.519 COVID vaccine. RSV vaccination rates are also low. The CDC 287 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.440 says a lot of unvaccinated adults do say they still 288 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.559 plan to get their shots.

Show 294 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.279 hey Otani has won his third MVP award. The Dodger 295 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.720 star hitter made history by becoming the first fifty to 296 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.399 fifty player in the major leagues. He finished this with 297 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.120 fifty four home runs and fifty nine stolen bases darn 298 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.279 close to sixty sixty huh. The vote was unanimous. The 299 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:09.879 star slugger is expected to start pitching for the Dodgers 300 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.720 in twenty twenty five at six oh five, it's handled 301 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:16.840 on the news. Matt Gates is out, a longtime loyalist 302 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.559 is in as President Elect Trump's pick for Attorney General. Popular. 303 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.200 You're gonna be popular. 304 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:26.559 I'll teach you the proper. 305 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.519 I think this movie is going to be very popular. It's, 306 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:35.919 of course Wicked, long awaited, and yesterday we had estimates 307 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.960 that it was expected to bring in one hundred million 308 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.960 dollars over the opening weekend. Well last night it brought 309 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.440 in twenty and that was just in previews. So now 310 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.200 they've up those estimates to one hundred and thirty million 311 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.799 dollars in its opening weekend. 312 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:49.279 Uh. 313 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.720 If you haven't heard of Wicked, okay. It stars Ariana Grande, 314 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:59.240 Cynthia Arrivo, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. Uh, the woman 315 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.200 who still doing everything everywhere all at once, Michelle Yo 316 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:03.960 love her. 317 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:04.519 Uh. 318 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:09.559 There's the voice of Peter Dinklage, and then also Jonathan 319 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.400 Bailey and I was like, where is he from? He's 320 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.640 from Bridgerton. So and that's just a few oh and 321 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.319 then Saturday Night Lives Bow and Yang is also in it. 322 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.240 So Nick and I went to see it yesterday and 323 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.119 it was a sold out theater. As we understand it, 324 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.079 it's the backstory leading up to the Wizard of Oz, 325 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.599 based on the book Wicked and also on the Broadway 326 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.480 musical starring Kristin Chennow with and Adina Mazzelle and Nick. 327 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.240 I don't know if you agree. We talked about the 328 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:40.240 movie a little bit afterwards. I thought it was beautiful, 329 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.680 like the world they created is spectacular. Visually stunning is 330 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.400 actually I wrote notes down and that was one of 331 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.839 the things I said. And then the lead characters, I mean, 332 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.839 you know they can sing, but they can sing. 333 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.640 And it's the thing that they can sang, right, And 334 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.680 the two things that I say, visual stunning and the 335 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.720 thing you and I did talk about. The thing that's 336 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.920 the most exciting thing to me is these sets were 337 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.279 practical sets. And what that means is these are not 338 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.680 Now they may be enhanced by CGI in post production, 339 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.359 but they're all built sets. So it's just like back 340 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.799 when they created the original Wizard of Oz. They're real 341 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.880 practical sets. So when you see the film and you 342 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.680 see them pick up a prop, it's not created in 343 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.519 a computer. It may be enhanced in the computer, but 344 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.279 they're actually there. So there's a sequence that you've seen 345 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:32.799 in the commercials. That's a train. That's this big, beautiful 346 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.680 green train. It's a real train that they go on. 347 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.839 It's incredible and it's on its way to OZ. But 348 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.400 it's a real train that you see them get on. 349 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.759 It's a huge I forget how many tons, it's like 350 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.359 fifteen ton train that they built for this for the movie. Yeah, 351 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.880 they actually get on. It's not a fake train. It's 352 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.160 a real train that they get on. 353 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:50.519 Yeah. 354 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.599 I think that's kind of cool in today because in 355 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.400 some of the previews, because there's like a half an 356 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.000 hour of previews, so brace for that. But in one 357 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:58.960 of the previews, I went, oh, that looks really great 358 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.640 and Nick goes, that's not a real person and I 359 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.240 was like what and he's like, that's animation. It's how 360 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.359 to Train Your Dragon, And yes, I thought it was 361 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.720 a real person. So I'm imagining that that whole world 362 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.880 is sort of CGI and animation. So it's really fun 363 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.960 to see them actually use physical sets. 364 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.720 Yes, it was really really cool. It's so cool to 365 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.759 see them manipulate everything like that. But yeah, it just 366 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.039 it really and the other thing too, to go back 367 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:27.440 to the singing part, John Cho Cho choe cho. 368 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.559 Oh my gosh, I'm feeling horrible here. Director. 369 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:31.960 Anyway, he required them to sing, so they had to 370 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.759 sing on set, so everything it had to be sung live, 371 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:35.279 you know what. 372 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:36.799 Everything was done. 373 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.279 That is so interesting because while the show was going, 374 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.960 I was like, Wow, they really look like they're singing, 375 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.240 because in some shows you see that there are lots 376 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.000 of musicals you see that their lips sinking, and in 377 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.599 this one, you really get to feel the feeling that 378 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.799 they're in there, they're in their character and they're singing. 379 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.519 So that was fun. Okay, we got to address one thing. Yeah, 380 00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.440 make sure you go to the bathroom first because it 381 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:00.000 is long. 382 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.319 It's two hours and forty minutes. 383 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.039 Plus the half hour of previews and I didn't even 384 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.519 take a bathroom break. I was pretty impressive with myself. 385 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:08.160 Yeah no, I was. 386 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.519 Yeah, okay. So, and here's the thing that Nick and 387 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.920 I also talked about. We don't want to tell you 388 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:16.720 anything about it because even though I saw the show Wicked, 389 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.240 it's been like over ten years, so and of course 390 00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.240 I have the memory of a nat But even though 391 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.400 I saw the show, I didn't know what to expect 392 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:31.480 from the movie. So I think that I think, just 393 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:33.480 go see it. I mean, it is long, but it 394 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.559 is it's fun, it's funny, it's sad. I wasn't the 395 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.759 only one crying in the theater. There's this one scene 396 00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:46.720 where Cynthia Rivo is so powerful, like you see the 397 00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:48.920 pain in her eyes. I was like, oh my God, 398 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.279 like it was. She did such a good job with that. 399 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:52.680 And I don't want to tell you the scene. I 400 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:54.680 don't want to tell you what happened, but I'm gonna 401 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:56.640
