00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean Kwansa is around. And I'm bringing it up

26
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>because sometime later in the show, I don't know when exactly.

27
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 4>It starts on the twenty sixth.

28
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 3>Okay, good, so uh, sometime later in the show, I've

29
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 3>prepared for you a very special Christmas poem. It's it's

30
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>based on a poem that you know. It's based on

31
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 3>the poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, which is also

32
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 3>often known as twas the Night before Christmas, but this

33
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>one is not as long, and it's called a visit

34
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 3>from one of the other ones. I love it that

35
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 3>will be happening all right, on to Kono. Let's get

36
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 3>you in and out of the way. That sounded bad.

37
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 3>I didn't mean it that way. Kudos to your festive

38
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 3>red sweater. How are you thank you had a green hat? Oh,

00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 3>duck down a little bit. Yes, it is very much green.

40
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 3>It's all Christmas.

41
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Man.

<v Speaker 3>Every everyone else is a substitute transplants. And then we

45
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 3>bring it to oh the faceless Michael Monks. You know

46
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 3>that you're the microphone placement blocks your face entirely.

47
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm for a reason Wayne, Okay, you don't have to

48
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 5>worry about the face.

49
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>It's wonderful to meet you and see your face.

50
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 3>We have spoken a few times when I filled in

51
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 3>for John Coblt some time ago.

52
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember what it was. Yeah, and.

53
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 3>You were nice enough to come on with the different

54
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 3>stories that you were covering. And Michelle, yes, true or false?

55
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 3>What have I said about Michael Monks?

56
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 6>Say you were very excited to work with him, that

57
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 6>you like him very much.

58
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that is true. Well that's mutual, my friend, so

59
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>grateful to be with you. What I do is I

60
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>put thank you.

61
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 3>I put her as a buffer between my fanboydom and

62
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 3>you so that it is less uncomfortable.

63
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Do you have issues expressing your feelings towards other men? No,

64
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I actually don't.

65
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 3>Emotional emotional discomfort is a hallmark of this show. So

66
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 3>whenever possible, you throw some of that in because apparently

67
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 3>people like that. All right, Michelle, anything that you want

68
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 3>to attend to tell the people about or no, there's

69
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 3>nothing before we begin the show proper?

70
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>What about the Are we gonna wait on the thing?

71
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 4>What thing?

72
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 6>A thing?

73
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we'll wait on the thing.

74
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, then I would advise people, if you can,

75
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 3>to listen as much as you can over the next

76
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 3>two weeks because at some point there'll be a thing

77
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't like that. Well, all right, here we go

78
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 3>then professional radio in three two one, it's time for

79
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 3>this morning's Handle on the News with Michael Monks and

80
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 3>me and your lead lead story is American Airlines called

81
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 3>a complete ground stop for all of their flights earlier today,

82
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 3>which on a I don't know, a random April five

83
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 3>would be big news, but on December twenty four is

84
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 3>an even bigger deal. Saying there were technical problems. Did

85
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 3>they tell us what kind of technical problems?

86
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>No, they did not.

87
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Did they say that we have a problem because all

88
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 3>the pilots they all brought lightning connectors and the cockpits

89
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 3>are USBC. No, But an hour later, whatever the problem

90
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.439
<v Speaker 3>was was fixed. The ground stop has been called off.

91
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of like when a car blocks a lane

92
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 3>on the four h five during rush.

93
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Hour for thirty seconds.

94
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Though the ripple effect of all those delayed flights will

95
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 3>be felt probably through New Year's will be my guess.

96
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 3>So that brings us to the official Handle on the

97
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 3>News lead story, how would everybody's head about the bed

98
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 3>human case of age five bird flu has been confirmed

99
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 3>right here in La County. This according to the La

100
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 3>County Department of Public Health.

101
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 2>They say it's.

102
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 3>The first human case detected in the county, not in

103
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 3>the world, not even in the United States of America.

104
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 3>They say that the person who has it purportedly got

105
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 3>it from infected livestock at a work site. They have

106
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 3>mild symptoms, they're getting anti virals, they're recovering at home,

107
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 3>so it's not they're not in the hospital, and it's

108
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 3>highly unlikely they're gonna succumb or anything like that, but

109
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 3>it is starting to bridge the species this bird flew.

110
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, That's what I want to know is what do

111
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 5>they mean by the encounter with livestock that were impacted?

112
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, how did this person get it exactly? Was

113
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:47.480
<v Speaker 2>it like.

114
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 5>COVID transmitted through the air or were they kissing or

115
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, did he drink the raw milk? What was

116
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 5>going on between this person and this cow's I'm sorry,

117
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 5>I from Kentucky. You know some of this arises.

118
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 3>The feel of a hard beak against my lips and

119
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 3>you salled you with romance.

120
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I knew you were.

121
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 5>Telling the truth when you said you had no qualms

122
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 5>with expressing your feelings.

123
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all. Yeah, I'd kiss a chicken. I'd

124
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>absolutely kiss a chicken.

125
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, sure, No, I mean, I mean, if you're pick

126
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 5>from the animal kingdom just for a kiss, you'd go

127
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 5>for a beak.

128
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying I prefer a chicken. Give me a pig.

129
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm kissing, said.

130
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 3>Michael Monks. You're already starting. You're trying to start a fight.

131
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 3>I didn't say, of all the animals on the earth,

132
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>my preferred kissing animal would be a chicken. That's not

133
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 3>what I said. What was it You said, chicken? It

134
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 3>was something you had thought about. Well, it just came

135
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 3>to mind now because you brought it. Listen, now you're first,

136
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 3>you're starting. I've got to reevaluate my inter of you,

137
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 3>because first you come in, you come in hot, trying

138
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 3>to start an argument. Then then you turn the tables

139
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 3>and shift the blame like I'm the one who started

140
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 3>chicken kissing thoughts.

141
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 5>Well, I grew up in a very manipulative family, and

142
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 5>I bring that type of energy into the show.

143
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 2>So and I have an hour head start on you right,

144
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I had to do.

145
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 5>The five o'clock hour, So I'm warmed up and stretched

146

<v Speaker 3>and you have all kinds of issues, you will fit

150
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.320
<v Speaker 3>right in here at k I absolutely we'll talk about

151
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 3>the water and how high it is.

152
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this was crazy.

153
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 5>We saw some videos out of Santa Cruz that took

154
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 5>down a pier with a few people on it. Mercifully

155
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.759
<v Speaker 5>they were all rescued. Wasn't the same thing for a

156
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 5>man who got covered in debris? Though on a beach.

157
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 5>One person has died. High surf warnings, advisories and effect

158
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.519
<v Speaker 5>along the coast from Ventura County to La County. Here

159
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 5>locally and so ABC seven reports if your holiday involved

160
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 5>going to the beach, you may want to wait. I

161
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 5>surf warnings and advisories are in effect up and down

162
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 5>the coast through Christmas.

163
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Peak.

164
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 5>Wave heights could reach twelve feet at beaches in La

165
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 5>and Orange County, and up to eighteen feet at Ventura

166
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 5>County beaches. They expect the highest turf through today, but

167
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 5>some advisories will last through tomorrow. You've seen that footage,

168
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure, Wayne.

169
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So you're saying eighteen foot waves are high.

170
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I don't know how to gauge them, right.

171
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm not from southern California. I love looking at the ocean.

172
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 5>I love seeing a busy body of water when it's

173
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 5>got a little bit of life to it. It's exciting,

174
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 5>it can be romantic. But when they tell me it's dangerous,

175
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 5>I believe them. So I don't know, but I do

176
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 5>know there are folks who are taking in the water anyway.

177
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 5>And again, all we can do is say these are

178
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 5>what the warnings are. Use your best judgment.

179
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of warnings, Michelle kindly attached this looks like it

180
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 3>would be a poster or something you would see posted

181
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 3>at the beach, and it's about rip currents and how

182
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 3>to protect yourself from rip currents and what they are

183
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 3>and how they're dangerous.

184
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.919
<v Speaker 2>Which I guess there are these under the surface.

185
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 3>Currents that run away from the shore and they will

186
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 3>suck you right out into the middle of nowhere. Then

187
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 3>you get one of those you know that movie Open Water,

188
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 3>You get one of those scenarios going on.

189
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 2>But here's what I like about it.

190
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 3>So it says what to do if you're caught in

191
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.039
<v Speaker 3>a rip current, don't fight the current whatever. But then

192
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.279
<v Speaker 3>it says safety there are three safety tips, and the

193
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.639
<v Speaker 3>first safety tip for avoiding rip currents in the ocean

194
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:42.399
<v Speaker 3>is know how to swim, which is very helpful as

195
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 3>a safety tip. I mean, I would agree that is

196
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.200
<v Speaker 3>probably safety tip number one if you're going to go

197
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 3>into the ocean, know how to swim.

198
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Thank you?

199
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 3>Hold on, who is this from? Oh, the National Oceanic

200
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 3>and Atmospheric Association dot gov.

201
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, guys.

202
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.559
<v Speaker 5>Focus on the regular weather please, and never swim alone,

203
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.200
<v Speaker 5>of course, they say. And I can't imagine. I'm pretty

204
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 5>terrified of open bodies of water. Like I said, I

205
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 5>love looking at them, but being in them is a

206
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 5>different story for me personally. I can't imagine just jumping

207
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 5>into the ocean, you know, the Earth's sweat pits, and

208
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 5>just being left alone in there.

209
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a fear of deep water big time?

210
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a common it's a common fear, hey quickly,

211
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 3>because it's related. Just tell us what happened at the

212
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Santa Cruz wharf please?

213
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 2>So this thing collapsed?

214
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean, they've got some high surf in Santa Cruz

215
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 5>as well, and that's why the warnings here are resonating,

216
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 5>I think more because we've seen how dangerous it can get.

217
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 2>And so it's the end of a wharf that.

218
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 5>Visitors know well. In Santa Cruz. This is something that

219
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 5>people can go stand on and take in the water.

220
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 5>But the water decided to take it in and so

221
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 5>the big half of it collapsed into the water. Three

222
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 5>people were standing on it. Apparently two were rescued rather quickly.

223
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 5>Another one was rescued shortly after. So that thing collapsed.

224
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 5>And so the collapse came as the National Weather Service

225
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 5>issued a high surf warning cautioning the dangerously large breaking

226
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.759
<v Speaker 5>waves of thirty to forty feet, with the largest wave

227
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.919
<v Speaker 5>sets up to sixty feet where possible. The warning area

228
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 5>included San Francisco, the coastal North Bay and Point Reyes

229
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 5>National Seashore, the San Francisco Peninsula, Coast, Monterey Bay, and

230
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.879
<v Speaker 5>the Big sur Coast.

231
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Matt Gates too little, too late.

232
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.440
<v Speaker 3>The House Ethics report about his behavior has been released,

233
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 3>but he tried to stop it by filing a lawsuit

234
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 3>yesterday saying that, oh, the decision to publish it was

235
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 3>procedurally defective, that it was something that had never been

236
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.799
<v Speaker 3>done before, and whatever else his reasons were. And so

237
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 3>he files the lawsuit asking a judge to block the

238
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.679
<v Speaker 3>relation lease of the report, but unfortunately for him, they

239
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 3>released it before anything could happen.

240
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>And in the law that's called moot.

241
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 5>Now do you suspect why he might not have woned

242
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 5>this released?

243
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Are you? Are you serious? Right now?

244
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Of course, because of the the allegations and it seems

245
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.240
<v Speaker 3>like he likely paid an underage girl for sex, for example,

246
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 3>and all that.

247
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 5>Stuff, and engage in a lot of drug use, traveled

248
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.519
<v Speaker 5>a lot to have sex with these girls and these women.

249
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I wonder, Wayne, do you think Hunter

250
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 5>Biden is somewhere blushing reading this?

251
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh boy, Oh, here we go. You have to recall blushing, blushing,

252
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 3>blushing at the flattery of being copied.

253
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 2>What are you? Why is Hunter Biden? I'll go here

254
00:13:58.919 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>with you.

255
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know who's paying you to trash these fine

256
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 3>people right now over fifty thousand watts, but I'll go

257
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 3>there with you. On this Christmas Eve as we await

258
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 3>the commemoration of the birth of the sweet baby Savior

259
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:16.360
<v Speaker 3>of mankind. Sure, I'll talk about drugs and sex with

260
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.679
<v Speaker 3>underage kids with.

261
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 5>You, Well, I think it's appropriate, and you know this

262
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.919
<v Speaker 5>is not appropriate. This this is a family show for

263
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 5>about twelve minutes and then the rest of it is

264
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 5>unabashed debauchery. See.

265
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm not here to get into the bill. Talked about

266
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 3>what's in the report yesterday. Yeah, anybody can read the report.

267
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 3>It's literally everywhere. If you want to read the salacious

268
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:44.840
<v Speaker 3>details of Matt Gates, you can do that. I'm not

269
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:51.480
<v Speaker 3>here to smear anybody Hunter Biden, Matt Gates, whoever, over

270
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 3>certain personal behaviors, even if some of those behaviors may

271
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 3>have also been crimes. I'm here specifically to say that

272
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.879
<v Speaker 3>Matt g is a moron. I'm here specifically to say

273
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 3>that his head is full of cheap quality Guatemalan imported concrete.

274
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 3>Because it was known that the secret vote to release

275
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 3>the report. That was known at least as early as

276
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:26.240
<v Speaker 3>December eighteenth, and he didn't file anything. And I've me

277
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 3>known everywhere because the AP published a story that they

278
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 3>had voted to release the thing. And he didn't file

279
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.960
<v Speaker 3>this lawsuit until December twenty three, and that's why he

280
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 3>got mooted. Right at Keister if he had filed immediately

281
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.279
<v Speaker 3>after that story came out, I believe he could have

282
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 3>gotten a judge to issue an injunction against releasing the

283
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:58.639
<v Speaker 3>report until his arguments could be heard and evaluated.

284
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 5>Mooted in Las, mooted in the Keys. I thought you

285
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 5>were going to leave out the salacious details. Anyway, that happened.

286
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.240
<v Speaker 5>He got mooted from his own tardiness. And I brought

287
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 5>up Hunter Biden because you might recall a hearing where

288
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.200
<v Speaker 5>Matt Gates was really trashing Hunter Biden and Matt Gates

289
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 5>and that section of the Republican Party had a lot

290
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 5>of fun at Hunter Biden's expense, meanwhile engaging in either

291
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 5>comparable maybe worse behavior, And that is the state of

292
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 5>politics today, I suppose. And I do just want to

293
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 5>add that I think I once had some Guatemalans, but

294
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.080
<v Speaker 5>a patio in the backyard, and the concrete was fine.

295
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 5>So I don't understand the reference to the Guatemalan concrete.

296
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.159
<v Speaker 3>Just that was off the top of my head, without

297
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 3>having researched the quality of concrete from different countries of origin,

298
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:49.360
<v Speaker 3>and I was not it was hyperbolic, and it was

299
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 3>not meant as an assertion of fact, and I will

300
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 3>in fact retract it. And I will just say, let

301
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker 3>us strike your honors, strike from the record the word

302
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.080
<v Speaker 3>guatemal and just a cheap concrete.

303
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.400
<v Speaker 5>Well done, And let's talk about Luigi Manjoni.

304
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 2>How about that? Finally this?

305
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 5>You know, look, this is a good looking man, right,

306
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.880
<v Speaker 5>but he is suspected of a pretty heinous crime. I

307
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 5>have not seen a reaction in real time like this

308
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:21.680
<v Speaker 5>to an accused killer. I saw the movie about Ted Kaczynski. Oh,

309
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 5>not Ted, who was the Ted Bundy? I'm sorry Bundy. Yeah,

310
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.599
<v Speaker 5>the movie about Ted Bundy, and you know, obviously got

311
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.640
<v Speaker 5>some attention from the ladies, I suppose contemporaneously. I don't

312
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:37.599
<v Speaker 5>know that I've ever witnessed something like this in real time.

313
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean, do you recall anything like this, This, this

314
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 5>weird outpouring of.

315
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 2>What women women, women getting all a guy over bad men? Well,

316
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is that what you're asking me? Have I

317
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ever have I ever?

318
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 5>Have you ever seen them? Have you ever seen them

319
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.599
<v Speaker 5>be so thirsty? On Maine Tho it happens all the time.

320
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 3>The Menendez brothers got it, Charles Manson got it, does it?

321
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Zinsky got some of it?

322
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:01.680
<v Speaker 6>It?

323
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 3>Actually it happens every single time. They don't even need

324
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:19.240
<v Speaker 3>to be Abercrombie and Fitch hot to get it. Well, yeah,

325
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't, but men don't do it for women so much.

326
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:25.759
<v Speaker 3>You didn't have it, You didn't have tons of dudes

327
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.119
<v Speaker 3>wanting to marry squeaky from.

328
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I guess that's a valid point. So we've done

329
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:36.200
<v Speaker 5>a little international racism and now a little women are

330
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 5>worse than men. We have established that with science.

331
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much. Hey, let's get some news.

332
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to disagree.

333
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'm clearly.

334
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 3>Screwing around because it's Christmas eve Day, and also for

335
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:59.240
<v Speaker 3>another reason, which apparently we can find out about later

336
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.160
<v Speaker 3>another day. So you know, I remember, I just remember all.

337
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 6>The guys going crazy for Jody Arius, who's that she

338
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.279
<v Speaker 6>was the one who killed her boyfriend in the shower.

339
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 2>You know that's true.

340
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And even though men would say she's crazy, but

341
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 6>she's really good looking.

342
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I just always felt like a fringe element to me that.

343
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.400
<v Speaker 5>Of course there were people who works at but this

344
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.079
<v Speaker 5>widespread acclaim.

345
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, you are right, when women do it more than men,

346
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:28.359
<v Speaker 4>it is true.

347
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:34.079
<v Speaker 3>Maybe Listen, women women get crushes on bad men more

348
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:35.039
<v Speaker 3>than men.

349
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Men rape way more than women.

350
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.839
<v Speaker 3>So I think if you really want the scales of justice,

351
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.759
<v Speaker 3>men are losers on that comparison.

352
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, a promising young woman got a bit of an.

353
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Education after being arrested by the Seal Beach PD for

354
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 3>shoplifting her my grammar's way off. I know she and

355
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 3>two of her friends were or maybe just partners in crime.

356
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 3>We're seen walking into an alta beauty store and stealing

357
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 3>some stuff, and also going into a coals and stealing

358
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.039
<v Speaker 3>some stuff, and the PD track them down throw them

359
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.200
<v Speaker 3>in the back of the car, and that is when

360
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:16.279
<v Speaker 3>one of them learned, apparently for the first time, that

361
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 3>the penalties for shoplifting have been increased. Here's a little

362
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 3>here's a little classroom instruction from one person to another.

363
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 4>There's new laws stealing the phone, and it's just a

364
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.440
<v Speaker 4>launch counted beast. They don't But that's the best study.

365
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:45.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry now to be to be fair to the

366
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.640
<v Speaker 3>dumb one who didn't know.

367
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Shoplifting.

368
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Remember what happened when we had Prop forty seven in

369
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Criminal History reform, and one of the things we said is, look,

370
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.920
<v Speaker 3>if you're shoplifting, but it's under a nine hundred and

371
00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:59.079
<v Speaker 3>fifty dollars or whatever.

372
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a misdemeanor, don't it's not a big deal. It's

373
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>that we're not going to make a big deal.

374
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.400
<v Speaker 3>And then we just voted to increase some of the

375
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 3>undo some of Prop forty seven's nonsense.

376
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>And so it's this though.

377
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Shoplifting under nine hundred and fifty dollars now could be

378
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.640
<v Speaker 3>a felony if you have priors.

379
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.160
<v Speaker 2>So if your records.

380
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.119
<v Speaker 3>Clean, everybody's still as much as you can.

381
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.519
<v Speaker 2>But if you've been popped before.

382
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.880
<v Speaker 3>You you better know the retail value of what you're

383
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:42.160
<v Speaker 3>shoving down your pants. Those sounds there, all those all

384
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.160
<v Speaker 3>those beaps are what you put in because of the

385
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.559
<v Speaker 3>of the allegedly bad language.

386
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 4>No, that was the They were in the back of

387
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 4>the patrol car.

388
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that was patrol car beaps.

389
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, I thought maybe I thought maybe the two

390
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 3>women and R two D two had been arrested for shoplifting.

391
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Wow, speaking of crime, here's a scam.

392
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 5>Another scam. I mean, you really can't even leave the

393
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.440
<v Speaker 5>house anymore. A parking scam targeting Festival of Lights visitors

394
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 5>in downtown Riverside. The city officials there warned the public

395
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.119
<v Speaker 5>about folks going down to the Mission INDs Festival of Lights,

396
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:23.799
<v Speaker 5>and there's apparently fake QR codes placed that pay stations

397
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 5>around the parking areas in downtown and so you would

398
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 5>scan this QR code thinking you were going to pay

399
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.079
<v Speaker 5>for parking, and the fraudulent version of the QR code

400
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 5>would start asking for your credit card information, or another

401
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.359
<v Speaker 5>version of it would offer users a dollar parking if

402
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 5>they pay with their Bank of America card.

403
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:47.559
<v Speaker 2>So we've seen the growth of QR codes.

404
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:50.160
<v Speaker 5>They've come back, especially during the pandemic, and now they're

405
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 5>very commonplace. But my goodness, you have to really trust

406
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:55.319
<v Speaker 5>the ones you're scanning.

407
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Or charging people to park their cars parking parking should

408
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 3>be considered a free service that comes with patronizing any place.

409
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.039
<v Speaker 3>Social media companies in parts of the world now are

410
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.640
<v Speaker 3>going to have to use facial recognition age checks to

411
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:25.279
<v Speaker 3>prevent underage kids from getting accounts on their sites.

412
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.119
<v Speaker 2>This sounds like the.

413
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Same thing that's been that's happening across the United States

414
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 3>where the porn sites are now in certain states are

415
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 3>requiring that porn sites verify your age, and a lot

416
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 3>of the systems are using a facial recognition FINGU where

417
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.200
<v Speaker 3>it's like, look at your camera and artificial intelligence will tell.

418
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 2>You how old we think you are.

419
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 3>And they say this is better than showing us your ID,

420
00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:59.000
<v Speaker 3>isn't it.

421
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.759
<v Speaker 6>Well, what about the people who look really young or

422
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 6>people who look older than they are.

423
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is part of the problem with using facial

424
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.160
<v Speaker 3>recognition in this case.

425
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Speaker 2>This is in Britain right now.

426
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.960
<v Speaker 3>They have an agency called Offcom that makes up laws

427
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.559
<v Speaker 3>and regulations about the use of social media and other

428
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.400
<v Speaker 3>related things. And they're the ones saying you're gonna have

429
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 3>facial life Facebook. Someone wants to make an account's got

430
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.400
<v Speaker 3>to be facial recognition to make sure that they're old enough.

431
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not sure if they've worked out what happens

432
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.720
<v Speaker 3>if you're actually twenty and you got a baby face

433
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 3>and Facebook won't let you make an account. But I

434
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 3>guess that's a problem. Put it this way, no offense.

435
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:40.640
<v Speaker 3>That's not a problem for anybody here on the show

436
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:41.200
<v Speaker 3>right now.

437
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.599
<v Speaker 5>Ah, Merry Christmas, there you Merry Christmas. Hey, Wayne, We've

438
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.279
<v Speaker 5>got some new neighbors in California. California has seen a

439
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:57.359
<v Speaker 5>big population rebound after years of losses. The Only Times

440
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:01.000
<v Speaker 5>reports after several years of decline californ Cornya's population grew

441
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 5>by almost a quarter of a million residents in twenty

442
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 5>twenty four.

443
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>That's according to stats from the Census Bureau.

444
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.319
<v Speaker 5>And while we do have more neighbors, they say the

445
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 5>numbers are not all rosy. California experienced a slower growth

446
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.960
<v Speaker 5>rate than the country as a whole, and other large states,

447
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.240
<v Speaker 5>particularly in the South, are growing faster. It also experienced

448
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:27.799
<v Speaker 5>the nation's largest domestic migration loss.

449
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 2>So I moved here in twenty twenty three.

450
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 5>I thought that California was going to fall over itself

451
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 5>because I was coming in, you know, like they're losing people.

452
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 5>Here comes a new, fresh faced man ready to live

453
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 5>in California. They weren't that excited about my arrival at all.

454
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 5>It's very disappointing, nonplussed. Yeah, there was always in this

455
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 5>snow welcome.

456
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 3>You know what's interesting about fun fact for me, it's

457
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.279
<v Speaker 3>fun for me to think about. So California has had

458
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.880
<v Speaker 3>periods of great population growth, population decline, slow population growth,

459
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.680
<v Speaker 3>and right now we're at about what thirty eighty nine

460
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and a half half million is an estimate. I believe

461
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 3>never have we cracked forty million. There seems to be

462
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:10.839
<v Speaker 3>a limitter in place that we just we can't get.

463
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying I want us to get above forty million.

464
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:16.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying it's really weird that, like, we get

465
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:20.680
<v Speaker 3>really close to forty million and something happens and we

466
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:21.559
<v Speaker 3>lose population.

467
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Again. Well, I don't know what it is.

468
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 5>It is something that could have electoral consequences. Right, We're

469
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.519
<v Speaker 5>a pretty big prize on presidential election nights and might

470
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.079
<v Speaker 5>lose some some electric I think.

471
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. I mean, first of all, it's always blue.

472
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:37.480
<v Speaker 3>We'll always go blue, and we'll always have a lot

473
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 3>of electoral votes if we lose one or two somehow,

474
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:41.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't it doesn't.

475
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:43.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't think changes that much.

476
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:45.559
<v Speaker 3>Want to try to say is California will always be

477
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.720
<v Speaker 3>cool and the best. I agree, no matter what agreed.

478
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Michael Monks might hate California, I do. I don't know

479
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 3>why I hate hates California so much. Chicken man, that's

480
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.799
<v Speaker 3>that's particular. You know what I just said is particularly funny,

481
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 3>isn't it, Michelle accusing him of hating California anyway. Yes,

482
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm hinting at something, Ladies and gentlemen, And if you

483
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 3>keep listening, during the holidays. This is called foreshadowing. At

484
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 3>different points during shows, things will be said that won't

485
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:24.000
<v Speaker 3>make sense. You'll wonder why they're being said, But at

486
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 3>some point there'll be big reveals about what's going on.

487
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:37.640
<v Speaker 3>You know how, throughout the sixth sense there are clues

488
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.160
<v Speaker 3>as to what the big surprise is going to be.

489
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 3>There are clues, and if you go back and watch

490
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:52.119
<v Speaker 3>it again, you start to see, oh, that's what's happening now. Hey,

491
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Hurtz has a feel for you story. Maybe you're renting

492
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:01.400
<v Speaker 3>a Tesla, you fool, and you're driving around in it

493
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:05.279
<v Speaker 3>and not realizing what a piece of junk it is,

494
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:08.720
<v Speaker 3>and you'll get an email from Hertz that says, hey,

495
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:10.799
<v Speaker 3>are you loving your rental right now?

496
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, why don't you consider it a test drive?

497
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you'd like to take it home and you'll get

498
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:20.720
<v Speaker 3>a nice offer to buy the Tesla that you're driving

499
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:25.279
<v Speaker 3>as a rental because they're trying to thin out their

500
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:30.039
<v Speaker 3>herd of evs. It is not only Tesla's, to be fair,

501
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 3>it's other evs as well. It's just the Teslas are

502
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 3>getting all the attention. And somebody got an amazing offer.

503
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 3>It was a twenty twenty three Model three less than

504
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:43.799
<v Speaker 3>thirty thousand miles, and Hurt said, hey, if you like it,

505
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 3>you can buy it for eighteen thousand dollars, Which is

506
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:51.559
<v Speaker 3>that Listen, whatever you think of Tesla's, that's a great

507
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 3>price for that car. But it also suggests they'd really

508
00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:59.319
<v Speaker 3>maybe rather not have to take it back.

509
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 5>There's a related story as well, Wayne, because as you know,

510
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:08.119
<v Speaker 5>people were driving some pretty big cars there for a

511
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:13.319
<v Speaker 5>long time, the bigger the better, and now people are downsizing.

512
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:16.880
<v Speaker 5>According to the Wall Street Journal, stubbornly high car prices

513
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 5>and elevated interest rates are persuading more Americans that when

514
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:24.400
<v Speaker 5>it comes to their next car purchase, bigger isn't always better.

515
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.759
<v Speaker 2>So we are.

516
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 5>Turning apparently to smaller sedan models, and that is we're

517
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 5>seeing that the monthly payments for new cars or maybe

518
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 5>a little lower when you do that.

519
00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:36.519
<v Speaker 2>They're not as expensive.

520
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:39.359
<v Speaker 5>Some of the smaller models and entry level models as

521
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 5>they call them, are the Honda Civic, the Nissan CenTra.

522
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.400
<v Speaker 5>They've taken off this year, rising twenty three percent or

523
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.480
<v Speaker 5>more through November. So less is more when it comes

524
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 5>to cars these days.

525
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 3>It's good for safety on the roads too. If you

526
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 3>have fewer of these ridiculous outsized behemoth particularly like the

527
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.359
<v Speaker 3>King Cab pickup truck with the double wide thing in

528
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 3>the four tires. And I never, ever, I never see

529
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 3>a guy, like for example, hauling a bed full of

530
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 3>high quality Guatemalan concrete in these trucks. They're just going

531
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.680
<v Speaker 3>to the shooting range. Yeah. So I like this trend.

532
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:20.960
<v Speaker 3>I like it absolutely. Okay, I have to scroll back up.

533
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Here we go. Sorry.

534
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Also, downsizing you're a Christmas tree the newest trend because

535
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:31.640
<v Speaker 3>people have less space in their homes apparently, or they

536
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:35.359
<v Speaker 3>have more other stuff. That's that's encroaching on where a

537
00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:38.480
<v Speaker 3>big tree would go. Is a skinny tree. I think

538
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 3>they're still as tall, but they are skinny and they

539
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:46.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of look weird because they are so thin and tall.

540
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.240
<v Speaker 3>And celebrities have been showing off their new skinny trees.

541
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Kelly Rippa posted a picture of her tree and she

542
00:30:55.880 --> 00:31:00.200
<v Speaker 3>said she's skinny. Don't shame her, and she I don't. Oh,

543
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.039
<v Speaker 3>she coined this herself, but she used this new term.

544
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.599
<v Speaker 3>They're calling it tre zembic, and the idea was literally,

545
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 3>for example, people would get a giant tree and it

546
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.960
<v Speaker 3>would be blocking the TV. No, we can't have that

547
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 3>in America. So what do you do? Do you just

548
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 3>not watch TV for a few days? No, you make

549
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:23.920
<v Speaker 3>the tree do a boot camp.

550
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:26.039
<v Speaker 4>God forbid it. Blocks of TV.

551
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, we have our priorities.

552
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:33.079
<v Speaker 4>We have to finish on the next story.

553
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay, we'll finish on the next story, and that is

554
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 5>that Crocodile Dundee star Bert dies, the reptilian star of

555
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.839
<v Speaker 5>nineteen eighties classic crocodile Dundee, has died at the age

556
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.839
<v Speaker 5>of at least ninety years old. The crocodile's death was

557
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:52.279
<v Speaker 5>announced by Australian Reptile Park Crocosaurus Cove, where Bert lived

558
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:53.880
<v Speaker 5>out his final years.

559
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.039
<v Speaker 4>He was so big. Did you see him?

560
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Big big? He's a huge Oh my gosh, sure Bert, not.

561
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 3>That I've ever seen a crocodile and thought, what a

562
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:03.759
<v Speaker 3>little cutie.

563
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, ninety years old age pretty well. I don't know

564
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:09.839
<v Speaker 5>how you would do on that facial recognition we talked

565
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:10.920
<v Speaker 5>about earlier though, Well, he.

566
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:12.119
<v Speaker 4>Aged better than Paul Holkin.

567
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 3>Well he was obviously using bow CrOx Oh, well done.
