Speaker 1: because we had that huge earthquake in northern California, a
Speaker 1: seven point zero, and we didn't feel it. I mean,
Speaker 1: not that that's a bad thing, but you know, you
Speaker 1: feel you think that when it's that big, there'd be
Speaker 1: some effect. Luckily, it sounds like it didn't do the
Speaker 1: kind of damage that it probably would have done if
Speaker 1: it had hit a big city. Lots going on today.
Speaker 1: We're going to get you all up to date and
Speaker 1: hopefully have a little bit of fun too. Do be
Speaker 1: careful if you're driving out there here. The FOG's pretty bad.

Speaker 1: here is what is ahead on wake up call. Dozens
Speaker 1: of aftershocks have rumbled under northern California following that seven
Speaker 1: point zero quake that hit about sixty two miles off

Speaker 1: may have been exposed or being notified a baby with
Speaker 1: measles has been treated at Children's Hospital in Orange County.
Speaker 1: It's not clear if it's the same person. Well, we're
Speaker 1: going back to the moon, but not quite as soon
Speaker 1: as we had hoped. We're going to talk about that
Speaker 1: with ABC's Jim Ryan. That's coming up in just a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. We're going to get the latest on
Speaker 1: what's going on with the murder of that CEO from
Speaker 1: United Healthcare, what new clues they've discovered. We're also going
Speaker 1: to be talking to the house whisper Dean Sharp that's
Speaker 1: coming up at the bottom of the hour. And also

Speaker 1: curl up on the couch for the weekend, or maybe
Speaker 1: watch something as you're decorating the house, we're going to
Speaker 1: check with ABC's Will Gambs. That's coming up before the
Speaker 1: end of the hour. So see, I told you lots
Speaker 1: going on. So let's get started with some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has declared a state of emergency in northern
Speaker 1: California because of the magnitude seven earthquake in the Pacific
Speaker 1: Ocean near the border with Oregon Quake expert doctor Lucy
Speaker 1: Jones says the earthquake hit about ten forty five yesterday morning.
Speaker 4: Located on the transformed fault that extends out beyond the
Speaker 4: end of the San Andreas.
Speaker 1: The quake TRIGGEREDOO tsunami Warner, a warning that affected about
Speaker 1: five million people in California and Oregon. It has been
Speaker 1: canceled the US Geological Services. The earthquake could be felt
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, Oakland, and Alameda. It's been followed by
Speaker 1: dozens of aftershocks, almost all of them centered in the ocean,
Speaker 1: and most of them pretty small. News brought to you
Speaker 1: by Ruderhiro dot com. A man who shot and critically
Speaker 1: wounded two kindergarteners at a Seventh Day Adventist school in
Speaker 1: northern California gain access to the school by pretending to
Speaker 1: enroll a fictitious grandson at the school. Mute County Sheriff
Speaker 1: Cory Honin Honey says the man wrote about the attack
Speaker 1: and also planned to visit another school yesterday. He shot
Speaker 1: and killed himself after the shooting. On Wednesday, A candlelight
Speaker 1: vigil for the little boys, who are still in critical condition,
Speaker 1: is planned for today, a person has either fallen or
Speaker 1: jumped to their death from the sixth Street Bridge and
Speaker 1: Boil Heights. LA Fire says the person was found dead
Speaker 1: in the La river bed below the bridge yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 1: LAPD detectives are working to figure out if the person
Speaker 1: fell or jumped and why. LA County Supervisor Katherine Barger
Speaker 1: says a local government should prepare to work with the
Speaker 1: new Trump administration.
Speaker 5: The Board of Supervisors voted to mobilize its lobbyist in
Speaker 5: support of Governor Newsom's plan to trump proof California. Supervisor
Speaker 5: Catherine Barber was the only vote against the motion.
Speaker 6: Adopting a confrontational approach with the incoming Trump administration is
Speaker 6: not the best of now.
Speaker 5: Barger is chair of the board and says she plans
Speaker 5: to communicate with the incoming administration. She says La County
Speaker 5: will need federal support for homelessness, transportation, and the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Michael Monks KFI News would like to say good morning
Speaker 1: now to ABC's Jim Ryan. So Jim as Jackie Gleason
Speaker 1: might have said to the Moon. Alice NASA says it's
Speaker 1: got plans in place to go back to the Moon
Speaker 1: for the first time in fifty years.
Speaker 4: Yes, but it's going to be a little delayed. You know.
Speaker 4: The plan was to get something going this coming year
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, to at least get a further step,
Speaker 4: and then maybe in twenty twenty six have people walking
Speaker 4: around on the Moon again. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 4: Bill Nelson, the NASSA administrator, yesterday said that the programm
Speaker 4: is being pushed back a bit. Remember two years ago
Speaker 4: Amy the Artemis program. It was Armis one was a
Speaker 4: rocket that carried the Orion spacecraft without a crew on board,
Speaker 4: on a trip around the Moon, and it came back
Speaker 4: about ten days later. Everything seemed great, but engineers taking
Speaker 4: a closer look realize that the heat shields weren't doing
Speaker 4: their job quite properly five thousand degree temperatures as this
Speaker 4: thing is re entering the Us' atmosphere, So they want
Speaker 4: to improve that and maybe change the trajectory, the re
Speaker 4: entry trajectory so it's not quite so hot, and then
Speaker 4: try it again. So the mission now is planned. The orbit,
Speaker 4: the next orbit of the Moon with people on board
Speaker 4: is supposed to happen in April twenty twenty six, and
Speaker 4: then the mission to put people on the Moon again
Speaker 4: mid twenty twenty seven. That's the timeline.
Speaker 1: Now, okay, so before they go and land on the Moon,
Speaker 1: they're going to do that fly by. Why do a
Speaker 1: fly by instead of just going.
Speaker 4: Well, it's a matter of safety. It's making sure that
Speaker 4: everything works that it's going to be feasible to do this.
Speaker 4: Obviously we did it before fifty some odd years ago
Speaker 4: with Apollo missions. But you know, it seems NASA is
Speaker 4: very cautious these days, considering the loss of two talent
Speaker 4: to shuttles. You know, they want to be in an
Speaker 4: abundance of caution, make sure that everything has been tested,
Speaker 4: every possibility has been considered, and that it's as safe
Speaker 4: as it can be. It's always going to be dangerous,
Speaker 4: but doing things like this fly by the orbit of
Speaker 4: the Moon intended to prove that it can be done.
Speaker 4: Next step is putting people down onto the surface again.
Speaker 1: Isn't it weird that it was fifty years ago and
Speaker 1: then we just stopped going.
Speaker 4: It is kind of weird. I think the plan, at
Speaker 4: least back then was to try to continue and maybe
Speaker 4: by now we would have a Moon base in place.
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's fifty years on and still we haven't
Speaker 4: been back.
Speaker 1: Did you ever? Did you watch that show? For all Mankind?
Speaker 4: I've been watching it. It's hard to get into it.
Speaker 4: It's a little bit, yes.
Speaker 1: It is, Yeah, but I think it's fascinating because I'm
Speaker 1: interested in love all things space. But they have like
Speaker 1: they set.
Speaker 4: Up interesting twist on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of interesting twists, but they like set up
Speaker 1: base is on the Moon and then they set up
Speaker 1: base everywhere and then they go to Mars. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's still fascinating. So is how long does it take
Speaker 1: to get from here to the moon?
Speaker 4: What is it? Day day and a half or something
Speaker 4: like that. Though the whole mission is about ten days
Speaker 4: to go to the moon, circle it and then come back.
Speaker 4: The mission to put people on the Moon and have
Speaker 4: them exploring the south pole of the Moon is about
Speaker 4: a month. So it depends upon what you're intending to do.
Speaker 1: And they're going to the south pole and recently didn't
Speaker 1: China go to the south pole.
Speaker 4: Or career dropped the probe? Yeah that nobody has. No
Speaker 4: people have set foot on the Moon in fifty odd years,
Speaker 4: but yes the Chinese have and just liking in that show, right,
Speaker 4: there's this competition between I think it's Russians and the
Speaker 4: Americans there on the moon with their space bases, their
Speaker 4: moon bases, but the Chinese are looking at doing the
Speaker 4: same thing. They'd like to put people on the moon
Speaker 4: the goal. Yesterday Bill Nelson, the NAST administrator, said, look,
Speaker 4: if we do this in mid twenty twenty seven, we
Speaker 4: should still beat the Chinese to putting somebody back on
Speaker 4: the Moon again. So there is still a space race
Speaker 4: going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's the fascination about the south part of
Speaker 1: the moon?
Speaker 4: Water? There's water there, and it means that you can
Speaker 4: establish a base. You don't have to keep hauling water
Speaker 4: up there from the Earth, which is extremely expensive and
Speaker 4: cumberson to do, not cost effective. So if you can
Speaker 4: find your own water there in ice form or whatever
Speaker 4: it might be, you can sustain life. What's more, you
Speaker 4: can also use that water to create fuel to carry
Speaker 4: the next generation of astronauts to Mars maybe beyond.
Speaker 1: Okay, is Artemis al NASA or is Elon Musk involved
Speaker 1: with that?
Speaker 4: Busk is involved, you know, But even with the Apollo missions,
Speaker 4: you had a lot of private companies that are involved that,
Speaker 4: you know, the contractors building everything from you know, the
Speaker 4: rocket panels, to the space suits, to every aspect of
Speaker 4: it was built by some private company for the most part.
Speaker 4: But yes, and this is interesting because, so what will
Speaker 4: happen with Artemus three the moon landing. This crew of
Speaker 4: four will dock with the SpaceX Starship human Landing System
Speaker 4: in orbit around the Moon. Two of the crew members,
Speaker 4: two of the four crew members will stay in the
Speaker 4: Orion NASA spacecraft orbiting the Moon. The other two will
Speaker 4: will ride the starship down to the surface of the Moon.
Speaker 4: Then they'll do their thing down there. They will wander
Speaker 4: around and proof off and play golf or whatever they're
Speaker 4: going to do there like the Apollo astronauts. And then
Speaker 4: they'll get back into the SpaceX Starship. They'll go back
Speaker 4: up to the Orion NASA spacecraft over the you know,
Speaker 4: or ring Moon, and then come back to Earth. So
Speaker 4: it's the symbiotic relationship NASA and SpaceX.
Speaker 1: That's that's cool. That's cool, all right. And then speaking
Speaker 1: of SpaceX and the International Space Station, they also gave
Speaker 1: an update on Sonny and Butch, the astronauts who are
Speaker 1: kind of having a Gilligan's Island moment. They were supposed
Speaker 1: to be on a week long tour and they've been
Speaker 1: there for six months now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm supposed to be eight days now. It's been
Speaker 4: extended into February of next year, so a couple of
Speaker 4: more months because of the Boeing Starlin or spacecraft that
Speaker 4: they made it up there. And so you know, even
Speaker 4: with these private companies in Bowling and Starling, I mean
Speaker 4: and Space Eggs, things are not perfect.
Speaker 1: No, they're not. But do you know what's perfect is
Speaker 1: that our friend Colonel Nick Haig, who is a friend
Speaker 1: of wake Up Calls. He's going to he's the commander
Speaker 1: of the mission that's bringing Butch and Sunny home in February.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, Yeah, absolutely, Jim Ryan, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I always love talking about space and love talking about
Speaker 1: space with you because you know a lot. We like that.
Speaker 4: It's fun. I like it.
Speaker 1: I know, isn't it fun? It is? All right, have
Speaker 1: a great weekend, Jim.
Speaker 4: Thanks Sam.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man for
Speaker 1: South LA has been arrested in connection with a string
Speaker 1: of armed robberies in La and Orange Counties, including one
Speaker 1: where a person was shot Federal prosecutor see the man
Speaker 1: targeted people in parking lots. The first robbery was in
Speaker 1: August outside the Hustler Casino in Guardina. He allegedly broke
Speaker 1: a woman's teeth with his gun when she screamed and
Speaker 1: refused to hand over her purse. The next day, he
Speaker 1: allegedly robbed a man in Carson and a guy standing
Speaker 1: near a Rolls Royce in Costa Mesa. Another man was
Speaker 1: shot in September during a robbery at the same mall.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has visited the southern border, where he was
Speaker 1: asked about a potential mass deportation policy under President elect Trump.
Speaker 1: Newsom says the state will not obstruct, but also won't help.
Speaker 4: California's posture remains we do not interfere in the federal
Speaker 4: government's right to enforce federal law using federal resources.
Speaker 1: Newsom also says he's sending more National Guard troops to
Speaker 1: the border to collaborate with the Mexican government to tackle
Speaker 1: illegal weapons and drugs. A Hamas official says ceasefire talks
Speaker 1: for Gaza have started up again. He says he's hopeful
Speaker 1: a deal to end the fourteen month war is within reach.
Speaker 1: Guitar suspended talks with mediators from Egypt and the United
Speaker 1: States last month over a frustration with the lack of
Speaker 1: progress between Israel and Hamas. Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield
Speaker 1: is stopping its decision not to cover anesthesia under certain conditions.
Speaker 2: The insurance company first said that it would not reimburse
Speaker 2: anesthesia costs if the surgery went on for what the
Speaker 2: insurance deemed too long. People were outrage across social media.
Speaker 2: The American Society of Anesthesiologists issued a statement calling the
Speaker 2: policy a cynical money grab and urging Anthem to reverse
Speaker 2: it immediately. Now Blue Cross Blue Shield is saying that
Speaker 2: they'd be stopping the policy one day after the shooting
Speaker 2: of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson Andrew Caravella KFI News.
Speaker 1: Can you even imagine they're talking about, well, we'll cover anesthesia,
Speaker 1: but if the surgery goes long, if you have a
Speaker 1: problem or a complication and it takes longer than we
Speaker 1: say that it should, we're not going to cover that
Speaker 1: anesthesia anymore. Crazy. Los Angeles has the largest GDP of
Speaker 1: all counties in the whole country. The gross domestic product
Speaker 1: takes all the totals from all the bottom lines on
Speaker 1: goods and services the counties produce. Orange County ranks ninth
Speaker 1: with two hundred and seventy three billion dollars and San
Speaker 1: Diego County ranks tenth in the country with two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty one billion. The search continues for the man
Speaker 1: who murdered the CEO of United Healthcare in front of
Speaker 1: the Hilton Hotel in Midtown. Manhattan. Police say they've received
Speaker 1: an avalanche of tips about the suspect, but are still
Speaker 1: not sure of his identity. We're going to get the
Speaker 1: latest on the man hunt with ABC's Josh Morgolan in
Speaker 1: just a minute. The House is voted against releasing an
Speaker 1: Ethics Committee report from its investigation of former Florida Congressman
Speaker 1: Matt Gates. Gates was being investigated over allegations of sexual
Speaker 1: misconduct and drug use. Gates was nominated by President elect
Speaker 1: Trump to be the next Attorney General, but he withdrew
Speaker 1: his name from consideration and also resigned from com Gris.
Speaker 1: Mulwana two is expected to have another big weekend at
Speaker 1: the box office. It took in a record two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty one million dollars over the long Thanksgiving holiday
Speaker 1: weekend and could bring in another sixty million this weekend.
Speaker 1: At six oh five, it's handle on the news that
Speaker 1: Biden White House is considering preemptive pardons. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: about that right now.
Speaker 7: Though.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to ABC's Josh Margolan. Good morning, Josh.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning.
Speaker 3: Here are you.
Speaker 1: I'm good. The man who shot and killed the CEO
Speaker 1: of CEO of United Healthcare still on the loose. Two
Speaker 1: days after Brian Thompson was gunned down in front of
Speaker 1: the Hilton Hotel. What have we learned about the shooter?
Speaker 8: At least have a ton of information right now. They
Speaker 8: have a lot of good working material in terms of
Speaker 8: his whereabouts, how how and when he comes into the city,
Speaker 8: what he did around the city. They're piecing everything together.
Speaker 8: You know, it's impossible in a big city like New
Speaker 8: York or Los Angeles to do anything without being captured
Speaker 8: on security.
Speaker 4: And traffic cameras these days.
Speaker 8: What they don't know yet is why this happened, and
Speaker 8: they don't know where he is. The manhunt is continuing,
Speaker 8: as you say, two days after it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so where how did he come into the city
Speaker 1: by bus?
Speaker 8: To the port authority bus terminal, the main bus station
Speaker 8: for intercity buses in Midtown Manhattan, and he then goes
Speaker 8: he checks into this hostel. It's the hostel where when
Speaker 8: he checked in, there's the security cameras have a picture
Speaker 8: of his full face. It's the only good image of
Speaker 8: his full face that we have. Other cameras have captured
Speaker 8: him with some sort of a scarf for a COVID
Speaker 8: mask on the lower part of his face. And he then,
Speaker 8: you know, we see him coming out of the subway
Speaker 8: going to the location that morning, see him on a
Speaker 8: cell phone. Then they see images of him getting away
Speaker 8: from the area on a bike. Then they see images
Speaker 8: of him, you know, he goes to Central Park, just
Speaker 8: a few blocks north of the location. Then he comes
Speaker 8: out farther north of Central Park.
Speaker 4: So they have all of that kind of that.
Speaker 8: They're trying to piece every single thing together because in
Speaker 8: the absence of knowing who this is, they want to
Speaker 8: get the information they can to try to figure out
Speaker 8: who we talked to, who he might have interacted with,
Speaker 8: where he was, where he might be going.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I heard that we have or no we
Speaker 1: but I heard that they have recovered a cell phone
Speaker 1: that might be his.
Speaker 8: Yes, So there are images of him on a cell
Speaker 8: phone before the killing occurred. There was a cell phone
Speaker 8: found in the alley right where he disappeared to when
Speaker 8: he got on a bike to take off after the shooting.
Speaker 8: So they have that phone. We don't have a good
Speaker 8: sense of what police have found in that phone. Was
Speaker 8: it some sort of a personal phone, was it a burner?
Speaker 8: So that kind of information is going to obviously be key.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then there's also the bullets or the casings
Speaker 1: where they had the words written on them in a
Speaker 1: like with a sharpie or something. Are those words a
Speaker 1: message or are they thinking they might be a decoy?
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 8: It could be either the words are denied, depose, delay.
Speaker 8: These are words that are used by people in opposition
Speaker 8: to insurance companies. And there's obviously a ton of people
Speaker 8: as you could see online. The insurance industry is very controversial.
Speaker 8: Decisions that they make every single day affect people's lives
Speaker 8: in very very dramatic and profound ways. So could it
Speaker 8: be that it's a grudge against this individual Brian Thompson
Speaker 8: because of his work as an insurance executive, or against
Speaker 8: the company which is the largest health insurer in the country.
Speaker 8: Could be Could it be that this is somebody who
Speaker 8: has some sort of other grudge, there's some other motivation,
Speaker 8: and decided to try to throw cops off his sense,
Speaker 8: so to speak, by like the red herring, like a decoy,
Speaker 8: like you say, saying it's the insurance thing as opposed
Speaker 8: to some other personal thing. Police are very very titless
Speaker 8: about that. They have Thompson's phone and his records, and
Speaker 8: they're talking to the insurance company that he worked at
Speaker 8: to understand what was going on in his life and
Speaker 8: in his work. We don't have a picture right now
Speaker 8: that there's anything at work here other than some sort
Speaker 8: of a grudge related to Thompson's work as an insurance executive.
Speaker 1: Okay, so many questions, so many questions. Thank you for
Speaker 1: the answers you were able to provide. Josh Margoline, Chief
Speaker 1: investigative reporter for ABC News. We appreciated a ton. Hi
Speaker 1: every day, all right, you two. A baby who recently
Speaker 1: returned from traveling internationally has a confirmed case of the measles.
Speaker 1: Orange County Health officials say the baby was taken to
Speaker 1: the er at Children's Hospital Orange County three times on Saturday,
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday, health officials are contacting anyone who may
Speaker 1: have been exposed. The La County Department of Public Health
Speaker 1: is also saying someone who traveled through lax the day
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving has measles. That person arrived on a Qatar
Speaker 1: Airlines flight and was in the it's Tom Bradley International
Speaker 1: Terminal from noon to six on Wednesday of last week.
Speaker 1: It's not clear if the baby and the person at
Speaker 1: the airport are the same person. State lawmaker has introduced
Speaker 1: a bill to speed up vote counting in California. Democratic
Speaker 1: Assembly Member Mark Berman says some freshman lawmakers have been
Speaker 1: sworn in already even before their election results are certified.
Speaker 4: I think that we.
Speaker 7: Can set some metrics and some guidelines and some deadlines
Speaker 7: so that elections officials understand what's expected, also so that
Speaker 7: we create as much transparency for voters as possible.
Speaker 1: Election officials have said ballots are slowly counted in this
Speaker 1: state because of the large population and the wide use
Speaker 1: of vote by mail. Berman says he wants to consider
Speaker 1: increased funding for ballot counting and to meet with lawmakers
Speaker 1: and discuss ways to count ballots more quickly. President elect

Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson to talk about DOGE, the new
Speaker 1: Department of Government Efficiency. Johnson says it was a brainstorming

Speaker 1: Johnson said the government is too big, it does too
Speaker 1: many things, and it does almost nothing well. At six
Speaker 1: oh five, its handle on the news Anthem Blue Cross

Speaker 1: the secrets of Ish. So you got to explain what
Speaker 1: that is.
Speaker 9: Yeah, my favorite way to describe eclectic design, which is,
Speaker 9: to one degree or another, what everybody I think has
Speaker 9: to contend with a certain kind of eclecticism in their design.
Speaker 1: Words.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know, I know, you know, I really I'm
Speaker 9: I wonder about this weekend. I may have bitten off
Speaker 9: something more than I can chew. Honestly, this is one
Speaker 9: of the most difficult topics to communicate to people about
Speaker 9: the decor inside their.
Speaker 1: Home because it's very personal.
Speaker 9: It is very personal, and it's very complex. And most
Speaker 9: people that I talk to are very frustrated with or
Speaker 9: have a certain degree of frustration with the decor in
Speaker 9: their home because they imagine, you know, these magazines spread
Speaker 9: looks and they just think, you know, my house is
Speaker 9: never going to look that way.
Speaker 3: It's never going to be beautiful like that.
Speaker 9: And and so in one sense it's a good thing
Speaker 9: because I'm here to take everybody off the hook and say, listen,
Speaker 9: no one lives in a magazine spread house, right, that's
Speaker 9: just it's not real life at all. And nobody lives
Speaker 9: that I've ever encountered in what we would call a
Speaker 9: pure un you know, uninterrupted design theme. Everyone I know,
Speaker 9: and I've been doing this for a long time. Every
Speaker 9: lifestyle home I've ever encountered lives in what I call
Speaker 9: the Ish, the Ish zone. In other words, you may
Speaker 9: have a modern home, your decor may be modern, but
Speaker 9: it's not pure modern, and it's modern ish. You may
Speaker 9: live in a craftsman bungalow or a ranch house, but
Speaker 9: it's not a pure ranch decor. It's ranch ish. It's
Speaker 9: farmhouse ish because there's other stuff in there. So the
Speaker 9: question is, how do we live in the Ish? What
Speaker 9: are the secrets to doing that? And can it be beautiful?
Speaker 9: And my contention is absolutely it can and it must
Speaker 9: be a beautiful thing because that's the real world. That's
Speaker 9: real life. And the idea of a magazine spread or
Speaker 9: an internet you know, the Pinterest board spread of a
Speaker 9: beautiful sophisticated, let's say, like a sophisticated kitchen, unblemished, untarnished.
Speaker 9: You know, all you have to do is imagine something like,
Speaker 9: you know, put a refrigerator, magnet and your six year
Speaker 9: old's kindergarten coloring project of the week up on that refrigerator.
Speaker 9: In that sit you have, You've destroyed you You brought
Speaker 9: it to its knees right with real life. And so
Speaker 9: I am not abandoning the idea of a high, beautiful
Speaker 9: and thematic design. But what we're going to attempt to
Speaker 9: do this weekend is really embrace the idea of how
Speaker 9: do you successfully do eclectic design? Eclectic simply meaning that
Speaker 9: there's more than one thing happening, there's more than one
Speaker 9: theme going on, there's a lot of different components, some
Speaker 9: of them coming from maybe different periods, different styles. Is
Speaker 9: that just always going to be a chaotic mishmash or
Speaker 9: can you really get a design theme rolling with all
Speaker 9: of that, get it all headed in the same direction?
Speaker 1: Okay? So, and one of the examples that you gave,
Speaker 1: I thought this was a really good one too. Aside
Speaker 1: from putting the magnet with the kids prey on drawing
Speaker 1: on the refrigerator was having an historic home and having
Speaker 1: beautiful antiques and stuff, but then having a seventy in
Speaker 1: TV on the wall, which completely is counterintuitive to the decor,
Speaker 1: but you can make it work exactly.
Speaker 3: I mean that's where we live.
Speaker 9: We all, you know, most people technically speaking, live in
Speaker 9: a period kind of decor, meaning that you know, you
Speaker 9: embrace a decor that isn't like George Jetson's contemporary. It
Speaker 9: has some connection to the past. And a lot of
Speaker 9: us here in southern California, I mean, our homes are aging, right,
Speaker 9: We've got a lot of us live in fifty year
Speaker 9: old homes, seventy year old homes, nine one hundred year
Speaker 9: old exactly. So one hundred year old home was not
Speaker 9: designed ever with the consideration of a flat screen TV.
Speaker 9: It's kind of like what you were saying right coming
Speaker 9: off the break, you know, It's like, how would I
Speaker 9: live without a microwave these days? So the idea of
Speaker 9: how do we live in a in a period or
Speaker 9: historical decor that we love because we love the nostalgia
Speaker 9: of it, and also live a twenty first century life
Speaker 9: and have it blend beautifully together? Is that possible? And
Speaker 9: my answer to that is yes, but there are rules.
Speaker 9: There are rules that have to be followed along the
Speaker 9: way to make it work.
Speaker 1: Okay, it sounds like you've got your work cut out
Speaker 1: for you this weekend. We can't wait to hear all
Speaker 1: about it. We'd love to do it now, but we
Speaker 1: don't have time. So you get to breathe and really
Speaker 1: share all of those little tips and tricks and the
Speaker 1: secrets of ish. I love this topic and I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to hearing it because I think you can. You
Speaker 1: can do it, but it maybe is going to require
Speaker 1: a little bit of thought.
Speaker 9: Yes, absolutely, So we're just going to carefully walk everybody
Speaker 9: through it, and for those who hang with us, I
Speaker 9: think they will be rewarded.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you can listen to Home with Dean Sharp
Speaker 1: on KFI this weekend Saturday from six am to eight
Speaker 1: am and then Sunday from nine to noon. You can
Speaker 1: also follow our buddy Dean at Home with Dean. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much, Dean. Fascinating topic.
Speaker 3: I'll see you on the other side of issue.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we'll talk to you soon. Let's get back to
Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
Speaker 1: four our newsroom, La Metross tighter fair enforcement is showing
Speaker 1: positive results.
Speaker 5: Metro says illegal and unruly incidents on the A Line
Speaker 5: train have dropped by thirty percent since making sure passengers
Speaker 5: at Long Beach and AZUSA are paying. Metro CEO Stephanie
Speaker 5: Wiggins says the agency will also expand another tactic next year.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, you'll start seeing these taller faregates
Speaker 1: on our system.
Speaker 5: Those taller faregates will first show up at some of
Speaker 5: the most troubled stations, like Pershing Square in downtown La
Speaker 5: Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: A ban on indoor and outdoor wood burning and much
Speaker 1: of southern California has been extended through tonight. The original ban,
Speaker 1: ordered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District was
Speaker 1: supposed to have expired earlier this week, but now it's
Speaker 1: scheduled until eleven fifty nine tonight. It includes non desert
Speaker 1: areas of La Riverside in San Bernardino Counties, all of
Speaker 1: Orange County. Holmes that rely on woodburning as the sole
Speaker 1: source of heat, low income households and those without access
Speaker 1: to natural gas are exempt. A new study shows the
Speaker 1: majority of US have financial secrets.
Speaker 10: Fifty eight percent of Americans say they have financial secrets,
Speaker 10: according to a new wallet hub survey, and nearly eighty
Speaker 10: percent more men than women have money secrets, be it
Speaker 10: about large purchases, savings, debt, or job status. A quarter
Speaker 10: of people say they lie about money regularly, fifty three
Speaker 10: percent of people say they'd split up or get divorced
Speaker 10: over financial problems, and a little more than ten percent
Speaker 10: see financial infidelity as worse than physical or emotional infidelity.
Speaker 10: It's probably higher if your secrets that you paid for
Speaker 10: the physical infidelity. Mark Ronner KFI News.
Speaker 1: That's one of the benefits of being single. Let's leave
Speaker 1: it at that. A day after the La City Council
Speaker 1: voted to make La a sanctuary city, LAPD chief Jim
Speaker 1: McDonnell is trying to reassure immigrant communities that they're not
Speaker 1: going to be targeted. McDonald says the department's policy since
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine has been to never stop or question
Speaker 1: somebody based on their immigration status. He adds that LAPD
Speaker 1: officers are not immigration agents. A judge has dismissed a
Speaker 1: lawsuit filed by the City of La after thousands of
Speaker 1: photos of LAPD officers were released to the public. The
Speaker 1: Stop LAPD Spying Coalition put the photos in a searchable
Speaker 1: online database, prompting a lawsuit from the LA City Attorney's office.
Speaker 1: Dozens of undercover officers said their safety was jeopardized by
Speaker 1: the photos being published. The US has added a strong
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty seven thousand jobs in November, in
Speaker 1: a bounce back from the October slowdown in job growth.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now two ABC's Will Gans, Good morning, Will,
Speaker 1: Good morning Amy.
Speaker 6: Happy Friday, too, ye, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1: So if you're going to the movies, Mowana II and
Speaker 1: Wicked are still going strong.
Speaker 6: They sure are, and they are both fantastic. I mean
Speaker 6: I've seen Wicked twice at this point that might just
Speaker 6: be I mean, once wasn't enough. I had to go back.
Speaker 1: I agree, even though it was super stupid long.
Speaker 6: I well, yeah, but you don't. It doesn't feel like
Speaker 6: that while you're watching it. It only feels like that
Speaker 6: when you get out of the theater and you're like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, what day is it.
Speaker 1: That's funny because the first time I saw it, I
Speaker 1: was like, going, well, this is good, but it's really long,
Speaker 1: And the second time I was just just mesmerized. By
Speaker 1: it because you see things the second time that you
Speaker 1: don't necessarily pick up on the first time.
Speaker 6: One hundred percent. There's lots of little like nods to
Speaker 6: the Wizard of Oz and there's foreshadowing to what's going
Speaker 6: to happen to some of the characters. Yeah, it's one
Speaker 6: of those films that like, every time you watch it,
Speaker 6: you can pick up on something different.
Speaker 1: Okay, so here's a question for you, will Because we
Speaker 1: know that Mwana had a record breaking weekend the first
Speaker 1: weekend out, Wicked did as well the second weekend as
Speaker 1: it did the first weekend. So does that say something
Speaker 1: about Wicked versus molonacause they're both expected to still be
Speaker 1: strong this weekend, But as far as the fall off,
Speaker 1: are they saying whether they're expecting like Wicked to continue
Speaker 1: to do that.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean I think that it sort of goes
Speaker 6: to what you and I were just talking about, is
Speaker 6: that like this is a movie that people are seeing
Speaker 6: more than once, or maybe it's like Okay, I thought,
Speaker 6: you know, with my you know, with my friends and
Speaker 6: my were my own age, and then over the Thanksgiving
Speaker 6: weekend it was like, okay, now I have to bring
Speaker 6: my my my family to see this thing that I
Speaker 6: love so much. I don't think that either one of
Speaker 6: these movies is going to experience a significant drop off,
Speaker 6: especially because there's nothing like a Moana two that's going
Speaker 6: to threaten you know what I mean, Like, there's no big,
Speaker 6: big premieres this weekend. So I think that both of
Speaker 6: them are going to continue to rake in a lot
Speaker 6: of money and it'll be interesting to see what happens.
Speaker 6: And then you know, in a couple of weeks, Wicked
Speaker 6: is hosting those sing along specific thick showings. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: so you know, yeah, which I think people will return
Speaker 6: for that too. So I don't see any signs of
Speaker 6: flowing down for either of these movies, and Wicked in particular.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you're if you're on social media at all,
Speaker 1: I am. I know that the algorithms direct you to
Speaker 1: certain things that you're interested in, but I am just
Speaker 1: amazed at the sheer number of Wicked posts.
Speaker 6: It's like, oh my god, all.
Speaker 1: Things Wicked, which is you know, interesting. But anyway, if
Speaker 1: you're staying home this weekend and maybe going to stream
Speaker 1: something one, you can take a look at the Vatican.
Speaker 6: Yes, so Conclave is still playing in some theaters, but
Speaker 6: it's also available to stream at home now. And this
Speaker 6: is an insane cast. It's got Ray Fines, it's got
Speaker 6: Stanley Tucci, John Lisko, Isabella Rossolini, and lots of Oscar
Speaker 6: buzz around this movie. And it's basically the opening scene
Speaker 6: you see that the current pope has passed away, and
Speaker 6: so the next you know, hour and fifty minutes are
Speaker 6: about what goes on behind closed doors of the Vatican
Speaker 6: when they're trying to elect the new pope. And it's
Speaker 6: like a political thriller. It almost feels like you're watching
Speaker 6: the West Wing or something like that. But it's pretty gripping.
Speaker 6: And I watched it with my family over the Thanksgiving
Speaker 6: holiday and in the last scene, someone in my family gassed.
Speaker 6: No one is claiming ownership over who was so shocked
Speaker 6: that they gassed. I think it was my mom. She
Speaker 6: says it was my dad. But there's a good plot
Speaker 6: twist at the end too that sort of keeps things.
Speaker 6: Yeah interesting.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you said it's still playing in a couple
Speaker 1: of theaters, but it really hasn't made much of a
Speaker 1: splash in theater. So is that sort of the wave
Speaker 1: of the future. Is that they're gonna try a theatrical
Speaker 1: release and then just say instead of making people wait,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna immediately put it out on the stream exactly.
Speaker 6: And still so right now, the rules with the Academy
Speaker 6: Awards are that the films have to spend a certain
Speaker 6: number of days in a certain amount of theaters. Ok
Speaker 6: So that's why you get films like this that will
Speaker 6: do well at the Oscars, making themselves release the film
Speaker 6: in theaters at least for a little bit before putting
Speaker 6: it on streaming. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: And it's not streaming for free yet, it's rent to
Speaker 1: rent right exactly. Okay, And I think that makes sense because,
Speaker 1: like we were talking last week about movies and our
Speaker 1: movie habits and that kind of stuff. I don't go
Speaker 1: to as many movies, but I watch as many movies.
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people we've just changed
Speaker 1: our habits.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I would say in some ways I watch
Speaker 6: more movies than I used to because of how quickly
Speaker 6: they're put onto streamers and how good they are, you know,
Speaker 6: like you're getting Oscar worthy films that you can watch
Speaker 6: on your couch, you know, pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, and then I want to touch on Star
Speaker 1: Wars because I tease that you had something for Star
Speaker 1: Wars fans too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So there's a new series. It's called The Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 6: The first two episodes came out this week on Disney Plus,
Speaker 6: and it's about four kids who get lost in the
Speaker 6: Star Wars universe and they're trying to find their way
Speaker 6: back to their home planet. And I think it's a
Speaker 6: great concept because we have all of these Star Wars films,
Speaker 6: and with the exception of like Young Anakin Skywalker, we
Speaker 6: really don't get a lot of kids in the Star
Speaker 6: Wars universe. So this is like sort of a family
Speaker 6: friendly Star Wars adventure. And Jude Law is in it
Speaker 6: as well, and it's getting great reviews. So I think
Speaker 6: anyone who's looking for their Star Wars fix this holiday
Speaker 6: season since we don't have a new movie, will love
Speaker 6: this new series, Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you just mentioned Jude Law. So it is
Speaker 1: a live action it's not animated.
Speaker 6: That's right. Oh cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's my big question because I I am much
Speaker 1: more likely to watch it if it's live action. And
Speaker 1: so are we going to see any other familiar characters
Speaker 1: or are they just in the universe.
Speaker 6: Hey, listen as much as digging as I can.
Speaker 4: Do you know that.
Speaker 6: Star Wars people have this stuff locked down so tight.
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if we
Speaker 6: see some familiar characters.
Speaker 1: Okay, and that's on Disney Plus and the releasing it incrementally.
Speaker 6: I hate that exactly. I know they really test our
Speaker 6: patients sometimes, but I think you know, with something like this,
Speaker 6: that might be worth the wait.
Speaker 1: Okay, sounds great, Will Ganz, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: the information. Appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you next.
