Speaker 1: train system in Paris right now. And I got to
Speaker 1: tell you that over the next couple of weeks, we
Speaker 1: are going to be giving you Olympic results, and we
Speaker 1: don't want to spoil it for you, so we do
Speaker 1: have a spoiler alert. I'm going to play it for
Speaker 1: you so you know what it sounds like.

Speaker 2: Alert, boiler alert alert.

Speaker 1: the results of something. So if you haven't watched the
Speaker 1: particular competition yet, we won't wreck it for you. Finally,
Speaker 1: it's going to cool down a little bit. Still hot,
Speaker 1: but no heat advisory. So excited about that. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: lots going on, here's what's ahead on wake up Call.
Speaker 1: France's high speed rail network has been hit with what's
Speaker 1: being called widespread criminal acts of vandalism, including three fires
Speaker 1: set near the tracks, which has paralyzed travel to Paris
Speaker 1: from across the rest of Frants and Europe hours before
Speaker 1: opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Barack and Michelle Obama have
Speaker 1: endorsed Kamala Harris for president. The former first couple released
Speaker 1: a video this morning showing the vice president on the
Speaker 1: phone with Obama. He said that he and Michelle couldn't
Speaker 1: be prouder to endorse her. We're going to talk more
Speaker 1: about this with ABC's Karen Travers. That's coming up in
Speaker 1: just about three minutes. Ride share drivers can continue to
Speaker 1: be independent contractors. The California Supreme Court ruled to uphold
Speaker 1: Proposition twenty two yesterday, which allows Uber and lyft drivers
Speaker 1: to operate as contractors rather than employees. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking Olympics a lot. We're going
Speaker 1: to check in with ABC's Inez Delakatezara, who's in Paris
Speaker 1: for the opening ceremony along the sin for the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four Summer Olympic Games. Jason Nathansen has what's new
Speaker 1: on the big screen, and it's expected to be a
Speaker 1: big weekend that's coming up before the top of the hour.
Speaker 1: We're also going home with Dean Sharp to talk about
Speaker 1: staying cool. And there's a massive convention opening this weekend
Speaker 1: in Long Beach. If you love Halloween, you're going to
Speaker 1: want to be there, and we've got a four pack
Speaker 1: of VIP passes for you to attend. It's the Midsummer Scream.
Speaker 1: We're going to tell you about that in like about
Speaker 1: seven minutes at six so five. It is handled on
Speaker 1: the news. I'm sure he's much better than his name,
Speaker 1: but El Mayo has been taken into custody. Wouldn't wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to get into it with him, but he sounds
Speaker 1: like Manny's. Let's get started with some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor
Speaker 1: Newsom has asked local officials to start making a plan
Speaker 1: to clear homeless camps.
Speaker 5: The Governor's executive order direct state agencies to clear out
Speaker 5: camps humanly, but he's got no direct control over cities
Speaker 5: and counties. The La County Board of Supervisors meeting next
Speaker 5: Tuesday is expected to include La Mayor Bass and Sheriff Luna.
Speaker 5: They'll discuss their local plan to continue a regional response
Speaker 5: to homelessness. Newsom's order follows a recent Supreme Court ruling
Speaker 5: allowing governments to enforce laws banning people from sleeping outside
Speaker 5: on x. The governor says, no more excuses. The state
Speaker 5: has provided the time and the funds Now it's time
Speaker 5: for the locals to do their jobs. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: California is seeing its largest wildfire of the year. It's
Speaker 1: burning near Chico. Calfire's Rick Carhart says the fire has
Speaker 1: burned more than one hundred and sixty four thousand acres
Speaker 1: in just a couple of days. Thousands of people have
Speaker 1: been forced to leave their homes.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, we live in an area with a lot of brush,
Speaker 2: a lot of brass growth, and it gets hot and
Speaker 2: it gets dry in the summertime, and that is a
Speaker 2: recipe for fires.
Speaker 1: Carhart says communities in Butte and Tehama Counties are under
Speaker 1: evacuation orders. The areas haven't seen a lot of fire
Speaker 1: in recent history. One man has been arrested for arson
Speaker 1: for allegedly starting the fire by pushing a burning car
Speaker 1: into a gully. The Trump campaign is arguing debates cannot
Speaker 1: be scheduled until the Democratic nominee is official, even though
Speaker 1: President Biden was not officially the nominee at the last one.
Speaker 1: Trump communications director Stephen Chung says the Democratic Party is
Speaker 1: still holding out for someone better than Harris. Jung says
Speaker 1: it would be inappropriate to schedule a debate with Harris
Speaker 1: because Democrats could change their minds. Get this. Fast food
Speaker 1: restaurants around La can charge you ten cents for a bag.
Speaker 1: A city ordinance was passed back in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: or actually in twenty thirteen. It was amended in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three to include restaurants, so now McDonald's and Chick
Speaker 1: fil A's and others may charge you a dime for
Speaker 1: reusable bags. Chick fil a says it's up to its
Speaker 1: franchisees to decide whether to take on that extra ten
Speaker 1: cents or not. Not getting a bag apparently is not
Speaker 1: an option. Right now, let's say good morning too, ABC's
Speaker 1: Karen Travers. So a little development overnight, Karen, the Obamas
Speaker 1: have thrown their support behind Kamala Harris for president.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is significant that she's getting this major endorsement
Speaker 6: as her campaign has finishing up this first week where
Speaker 6: she's been out on the campaign trail for states in
Speaker 6: four days. There was a phone call that the campaign
Speaker 6: out a video of where she's talking to the Obamas.
Speaker 6: You hear for the former president say that they called
Speaker 6: her to say that Michelle and I could be to
Speaker 6: endorse you and to do everything we can to get
Speaker 6: you through this election and into the Oval office. The
Speaker 6: vice president says, oh my goodness, Michelle Barack, this means
Speaker 6: so much to me. You know, the Obama, the former president,
Speaker 6: had been the most prominent Democrat to have not yet
Speaker 6: come out and endorsed her, and it was notable. Everybody
Speaker 6: was kind of waiting to see when that was going
Speaker 6: to happen. Not that he wasn't going to, but just
Speaker 6: why hadn't he Because you know, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Speaker 6: there was such a flurry of outpouring of support for
Speaker 6: the Vice president and he had put out a statement
Speaker 6: on Sunday but notably didn't mention her. So here it
Speaker 6: is today, and now the big question will be how
Speaker 6: much campaigning do they do and where do they go
Speaker 6: to be the most helpful for her and what that
Speaker 6: does to potentially rev up voters for her campaign.
Speaker 1: Well, probably anywhere they go is going to be helpful
Speaker 1: to her, right, Yeah, absolutely, He's still wildly popular.
Speaker 6: Wildly popular and incredible ability to turn out people for events.
Speaker 6: You have to think that also turns out people to vote.
Speaker 6: And I think it's you know, part of the message
Speaker 6: that we've been hearing from the president and now you
Speaker 6: know the campaign about the passing of the torch. He
Speaker 6: can put that message out there too, and you know,
Speaker 6: talk about her as this next generation of Democratic leaders
Speaker 6: and talk about what she will do for the party,
Speaker 6: but also tying her to still you know, the policies
Speaker 6: and accomplishments of the Biden Harris administration, which you know,
Speaker 6: we've heard so much in the last couple of weeks
Speaker 6: that as there have been all these calls in the
Speaker 6: pressure campaign on the President to step out of this race.
Speaker 6: That you know, Barack Obama's been very careful with his
Speaker 6: conversations with the president. That you know, he's very protective
Speaker 6: of his former vice president and the agenda and record
Speaker 6: of this administration. So I think he can be a
Speaker 6: very effective messenger out there talking about what they have
Speaker 6: done and pushing back on the attacks of the Trump campaign.
Speaker 1: Okay, and now that she has pretty much everybody's endorsement
Speaker 1: from the Democratic Party, I don't think there's any holdouts.
Speaker 1: She's out on the campaign trail. And yesterday I think
Speaker 1: I think this was very interesting that she and President
Speaker 1: Biden both met with Prime Minister Netanyahu, but they met
Speaker 1: with him separately, and then she was the one who
Speaker 1: came out and made comments after that, not President Biden.
Speaker 6: You know, I will say the President never does that.
Speaker 6: He rarely unless he's doing it with the world leader
Speaker 6: comes out and gives remarks after a meeting, we get
Speaker 6: to read out paper statement from the White House. But
Speaker 6: yesterday was notable to have her do this separate meeting
Speaker 6: and then come out and speak to cameras afterwards to
Speaker 6: talk about the meeting, which she said was frank and constructive.
Speaker 6: She said there has been hopeful movement to secure the
Speaker 6: deal for a ceasefire, get the hostages released, and she
Speaker 6: said that she told the Prime Minister it's time to
Speaker 6: get this deal done. You know. I think it's important
Speaker 6: to note that we had gotten indications from the White
Speaker 6: House last week that or maybe was even the week before,
Speaker 6: that she would likely have her own meeting with the
Speaker 6: Prime Minister, that the President would meet with him, and
Speaker 6: she would also have a meeting as she's done with
Speaker 6: some world leaders. So it was on the books before
Speaker 6: all of this political turmoil happened this week. Still, it
Speaker 6: gave her a very big opportunity to show herself at
Speaker 6: the center, you know, with the key player of a
Speaker 6: very big foreign policy for this administration and looking like
Speaker 6: a leader.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I still think it's weird that they met separately, but
Speaker 1: maybe that's just me. Karen Travers, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for the information. Have a great weekend you too, thinks.
Speaker 1: All right, now we're going to talk to Nick polio
Speaker 1: Kini because we're talking about something that has to do
Speaker 1: with Halloween, and Nick is our resident Halloween export export expert.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it works, okay, Export as well.

Speaker 1: Chino that has exploded to one hundred and sixty four
Speaker 1: thousand acres in just two days. The fast moving fire

Speaker 1: slash records in its opening weekend. If it takes in
Speaker 1: the projected one hundred and sixty to one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy million dollars, it would be the best opening weekend
Speaker 1: ever for an R rated movie. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: more about that with ABC's Jason Nathanson coming up before
Speaker 1: the end of the hour at six oh five. It's
Speaker 1: handle on the news. Governor Newsom has made a move
Speaker 1: to get homeless camps cleared out of California. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning to ABC's Innez de la Caatera
Speaker 1: in Paris, bonjour. Sure, we are, of course talking about
Speaker 1: the Olympics, and I'm so excited because for the next
Speaker 1: couple of weeks we get to talk to you every
Speaker 1: day at this time, so you can give us the
Speaker 1: latest on the competition and the fun stories you discover,
Speaker 1: and of course the all important metal count as we
Speaker 1: go through the Olympics. But this morning before opening ceremonies,
Speaker 1: there was this weird attack on the trains and that's
Speaker 1: got everything kind of in a state of chaos right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 9: So that is a big story on the security front
Speaker 9: this morning, this massive arson attack on the railway system.
Speaker 9: So according to the French rail company, there were a
Speaker 9: number of fires sent at different railway stations around the country.
Speaker 9: Officials say those attacks were meant to damage installations and
Speaker 9: destabilize the railway system. They are calling it a coordinated attack.
Speaker 9: In some places, they say at cables were also cut
Speaker 9: and it does appear that high speed rail lines were
Speaker 9: the target here, so even the Eurostar train from London,
Speaker 9: for instance, was affected. They're saying that in all over
Speaker 9: eight hundred thousand passengers will have been affected and they're
Speaker 9: expecting this to last for a few days. They don't
Speaker 9: think the rail network will be back up and running
Speaker 9: until the end of the weekend, probably next week. So
Speaker 9: it's certainly going to have an impact on people, you know,
Speaker 9: who were hoping to make it to Paris in time
Speaker 9: for the opening ceremony today.
Speaker 1: And as you know, I mean just some people come
Speaker 1: in and out because the train system is so good normally,
Speaker 1: or do people come to Paris and stay for the
Speaker 1: whole Olympics.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 9: I do think there are a lot of people planning
Speaker 9: to just come for day trips or you know, stay
Speaker 9: in one night and then head back. You know, we
Speaker 9: know that there can be anywhere from eleven to fifteen
Speaker 9: million tourists coming to Paris for the Olympics, but they
Speaker 9: did say that they're expecting the majority of them to
Speaker 9: be from France, French citizens, and so we're expecting those
Speaker 9: tourists to be you know, potentially planning short trips, you know,
Speaker 9: weekend trips, a day or two here and there. But yeah,
Speaker 9: so I mean, if if your train is canceled, it's
Speaker 9: certainly going to have a big impact on plans like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, well now, so let's move on to happier things.
Speaker 1: We're opening ceremony is tonight. It's going to be like
Speaker 1: no other What are we going to see?
Speaker 9: Yeah, the opening ceremony. So I'm personally very excited. I
Speaker 9: think it's going to be spectacular.
Speaker 1: But this will be the.
Speaker 9: First time in history that an opening ceremony is held
Speaker 9: outside of a stadium. So it was this grand, ambitious
Speaker 9: plan that they came up with, and I think there
Speaker 9: was a lot of skepticism. You even had the French
Speaker 9: presidents at one point saying that initially it felt like
Speaker 9: a crazy and not very serious idea, but they do
Speaker 9: seem to be, you know, close to pulling it off.
Speaker 9: So they're going to have both sailing down the river, said,
Speaker 9: right through the heart of Paris, sailing by all these
Speaker 9: iconic landmarks, the notredn Cathedral, the Louver Museum, the Eiffel Tower,
Speaker 9: and it's going to be ninety four both seven thousand athletes,
Speaker 9: three point seven miles of sailing you know, down the river,
Speaker 9: and all sorts of performances alongside that, so you know,
Speaker 9: we're expecting kind of acrobats and dancers and musicians. They've
Speaker 9: been I will say, they've been quite secretive about the
Speaker 9: exact lineup, so they do want there to be an
Speaker 9: element of surprise. So there's speculation that Lady Gogoth for instance,
Speaker 9: could potentially participate, but the Celine Dion, but Olympics organizers
Speaker 9: have not confirmed that they want there to be, you know,
Speaker 9: an element of surprise.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I know you have to go because and
Speaker 1: As is a woman in demand for the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks all over the country. Do we know who's
Speaker 1: going to light the cauldron?
Speaker 9: We do not know. I don't believe. I mean, unless
Speaker 9: that broke in the last few couple hours, I don't
Speaker 9: think we know who's going to like the cauldron. We
Speaker 9: know that Lebron James and Cocoa Golf are going to
Speaker 9: be the flag bears for tm USA. We know that
Speaker 9: Snoop Dog is going to be one of the final
Speaker 9: kind of uh torch torch bearers. He's going to be
Speaker 9: part of that relay Tillards, you know, in the last
Speaker 9: leg of that torch relay journey. But I don't think
Speaker 9: we know who's going to light the cauldron yet.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, that's another reason to watch in Azila Kata
Speaker 1: with ABC in Paris. Thank you so much. We can't
Speaker 1: wait to talk to you Monday to find out about
Speaker 1: the gymnastics and the swimming and everything that goes on
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Have a wonderful time.
Speaker 3: Au revoir, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: All Right, Okay, let's get back to some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom
Speaker 1: so excited that we get to check in with her.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I get obsessed with the Olympics,
Speaker 1: especially the first half of the Summer Olympics, because I
Speaker 1: really get into the swimming, and I love the diving,
Speaker 1: and I love, love, love the gymnastics. I'm not as
Speaker 1: much into the track, which I think more people are
Speaker 1: into the track. But so I'm sure I'm going to
Speaker 1: be on the couch because Simone Biles apparently is performing
Speaker 1: competing on Sunday. Okay, back to what's coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Brush fire west of
Speaker 1: Lake Elsinore has burned one hundred and forty five acres.

Speaker 1: to resolve terms related to AI. The strike effects about
Speaker 1: twenty six hundred video game actors. It starts at midnight.
Speaker 1: The contract expired for video game performers in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw made his season debut with the Dodgers, striking
Speaker 1: out six and allowing two runs and six hits against
Speaker 1: the Giants at Dodgers Stadium. He's been on the bench
Speaker 1: after shoulder surgery. Kershaw became the only player or the
Speaker 1: only pitcher to play for the Dodgers in at least
Speaker 1: seventeen seasons and ended his longest absence from the big leagues.
Speaker 1: Glad to have you back, Clayton. At six ZHO five,
Speaker 1: it's handle on the news. A man's been charged with
Speaker 1: arson for sparking the largest wildfire now burning in California.
Speaker 1: At five point fifty, ABC's Jason Nathansen has What's high
Speaker 1: at the box office. But right now we're gonna cool
Speaker 1: things down. Let's say good morning to the host of
Speaker 1: Home on KFI, the house whisper Dean Sharp. Morning Dean,
Speaker 1: Good morning Amy. So last week we were talking about
Speaker 1: cool things around your house, but this week we're talking
Speaker 1: about ways to keep things cool around your house.
Speaker 8: Yes, I would like you to stay cool this weekend. No,
Speaker 8: things are fine, but you'd got to stay cool.
Speaker 1: Uh me personally?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you and everybody else.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So how do we do Iteah?
Speaker 3: Well, you know there are there's a list.
Speaker 8: It's it's I've got about fifteen items that we're going
Speaker 8: to be talking about this weekend. But there are some
Speaker 8: things that everybody should know about staying cool. How about
Speaker 8: this one? Number two on my list? Letting the ac
Speaker 8: run longer at a moderate temperature. Way way better than
Speaker 8: setting it really low and having it start and stop
Speaker 8: in cold bursts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking that, like I've been turning my AC.
Speaker 1: I just have a window thing, but I've been turning
Speaker 1: it on earlier in the day so it cools down
Speaker 1: so it's not fighting so hard later in the day
Speaker 1: to cool things down.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and there's like four reasons why most people would
Speaker 8: be surprised that there are that many reasons why it's
Speaker 8: a good idea to just have it running a little
Speaker 8: longer at a little higher temperature. Number one, it minimizes
Speaker 8: your power spikes. It actually saves energy. It sounds counterintuitive
Speaker 8: because everybody thinks, oh, when the AC's running right, the
Speaker 8: power bills going crazy. But the fact of the matter
Speaker 8: is the operating power that an AC unit requires is
Speaker 8: actually not that very high, especially when compared to the
Speaker 8: power that it uses at startup. When it starts. You know,
Speaker 8: when you hear it do that's whole like you and
Speaker 8: it turns on, that is a power spike that it
Speaker 8: draws that is hundreds of kilowatts greater than the actual
Speaker 8: operating temperature. So we really want to avoid start stop,
Speaker 8: start stop, because just like on your car, right freeway
Speaker 8: and highway mileage. The reason why city mileage is so
Speaker 8: much less than highway mileage is all the starting and stopping,
Speaker 8: all the accelerating at the intersection. Your AC is is
Speaker 8: a good analogy to that, so you'll save power by
Speaker 8: letting it run longer. The other thing is, and not
Speaker 8: many people realize that, but an air conditioner is a
Speaker 8: deem humidifier. Okay, Dehumidifying the air inside your house is
Speaker 8: really really important to staying cool because the drier your
Speaker 8: air is, the more your own body's natural cooling system,
Speaker 8: which is you know, perspiring. It's the moisture that comes
Speaker 8: to our skin and then leaves our skin by evaporation
Speaker 8: that cools us. So the dryer the air is inside
Speaker 8: your home, the more comfortable you will be, even if
Speaker 8: the temperature is slightly higher inside your house. All right, exactly,
Speaker 8: so you want the humidity levels inside your house as
Speaker 8: low as possible. Now, when an AC is just blasting
Speaker 8: and then turns off and blasting and it turns off,
Speaker 8: it may cool the air, but it needs time to
Speaker 8: take the moisture out of the air. So again, low
Speaker 8: and slow a way better way to go when it
Speaker 8: comes to that also the filter that's attached to your
Speaker 8: AC system. You know, indoor air quality is almost always
Speaker 8: not as good as outdoor air quality. It's true you
Speaker 8: would think, wait, we live in La what about the smog. No, no,
Speaker 8: no indoor air There's just so many things inside that
Speaker 8: to compromise air quality. So the longer your AC runs,
Speaker 8: as long as the fan is running on your AC unit,
Speaker 8: air is moving through the filter and your air is
Speaker 8: being filtered. If it's just start and stop, start and stop,
Speaker 8: you don't get as much air filtration. So those are
Speaker 8: three really solid reasons to keep it set at a
Speaker 8: moderate temperature and let it run.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the changing the filter. How often do
Speaker 1: you have to change that to keep the air clean?
Speaker 8: Once every three months. Everybody should be changing out their
Speaker 8: filter every three months. And I know that sounds like
Speaker 8: a lot, but it's not for you. It's for the system, and.
Speaker 1: It makes the system run better if it's clean.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, absolutely. Air filters are not primarily for us. They
Speaker 8: are to keep the system running clean and strong. And
Speaker 8: if you have trouble remembering by all means just it's
Speaker 8: so easy these days you can go online to a
Speaker 8: place like filter by and find that you can subscribe
Speaker 8: to an air filter service. They're inexpensive and they just
Speaker 8: show up. You just set the frequency. I'd like an
Speaker 8: air filter dropped on my porch every ninety days and boom,
Speaker 8: there it is.
Speaker 1: You don't have to think about it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's the air filter. And you're like, okay, you
Speaker 8: have time to change it out and it happens.
Speaker 1: Okay, You've got like fifteen things on your list, and
Speaker 1: I know you're going to be talking about this weekend,
Speaker 1: so I want to hit just a couple more of them.
Speaker 1: And this is one that seems a little counterintuitive. When
Speaker 1: you're trying to keep the house cool, you shouldn't cut
Speaker 1: close off rooms because I know everybody does that. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: close the door, we want to keep the heat out
Speaker 1: or the heat in. But you're saying, don't close off
Speaker 1: the rooms.
Speaker 8: Yeah, don't. You don't, and it actually hurts your cooling.
Speaker 8: It doesn't help. And here is why your system was
Speaker 8: very very carefully designed to blow freely and openly into
Speaker 8: every room in the house. It was not designed to
Speaker 8: have entire areas shut off. And if a system has
Speaker 8: been designed to have areas shut off, those cutoffs, those
Speaker 8: dampers will be on the main trunk line coming out
Speaker 8: of the AC unit, never at the end of the
Speaker 8: run where the register is in a room. So what
Speaker 8: happens is when you close the door to a room thinking,
Speaker 8: you know what, we'll just avoid cooling this room and
Speaker 8: that'll help the rest of the house, pressure builds up
Speaker 8: in there. Pressure builds up, pressure builds up in the duct,
Speaker 8: and that back pressure will eventually find its way all
Speaker 8: way back to the trunk line and start affecting the
Speaker 8: quality of the airflow everywhere else. So just keep everything
Speaker 8: open and keep everything breathing. Your house will do much
Speaker 8: much better.
Speaker 1: Okay, And then here's one too. When using a fan,
Speaker 1: make sure that you can feel it. What do you mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you feel a fan when you turn
Speaker 1: it on?
Speaker 8: Well, hopefully you do. Hopefully you do feel a fan,
Speaker 8: but strangely not FAMI. I get calls and questions from
Speaker 8: people saying, you know, I had a fan running in
Speaker 8: the room all day and the air didn't get any cooler.
Speaker 8: And my answer to that is that's because fans don't
Speaker 8: cool air down.
Speaker 1: And they just move it around.
Speaker 3: They move it around.
Speaker 8: So this is really important to realize you can have
Speaker 8: a fan blowing on the other side of the room,
Speaker 8: but if you can't feel the airflow on your skin,
Speaker 8: it's not doing you any good. So a fan is
Speaker 8: on and it does good because it helps you stay
Speaker 8: cooler because of that evaporative process on your skin. It
Speaker 8: accelerates evaporation of moisture off of your skin. So if
Speaker 8: you've got a fan in the room, it's a great idea.
Speaker 8: Make sure you can feel the airflow across your skin.
Speaker 8: Otherwise it's not doing anybody any good.
Speaker 1: Okay, And then here's another tip that I just shared
Speaker 1: this with a friend of mine and I was surprised
Speaker 1: that she didn't know it, so maybe there are more
Speaker 1: of you who don't know it. But I have this
Speaker 1: great ceiling fan that blows. I mean, it's awesome and
Speaker 1: just get under it and it keeps you nice and cool.
Speaker 1: But there's a switch up on the ceiling fan. So
Speaker 1: in the winter, which like, she didn't know that there
Speaker 1: were switches. She's like, when you can reverse the direction
Speaker 1: of the fan, because in the winter time you want
Speaker 1: to pull the air up and move it down around
Speaker 1: and in the summer, like you said, you want to
Speaker 1: have it blowing down on you so you feel it.
Speaker 8: Yes, every ceiling fan has a tiny little switch that
Speaker 8: reverses the direction of the flow. During the summer, you
Speaker 8: want it blowing down so that when you walk under
Speaker 8: it you feel that airflow. During the winter, you actually
Speaker 8: want it blowing up against the ceiling because the hot
Speaker 8: air that you're heating the room with rises up to
Speaker 8: the ceiling and you want the fan to blow that
Speaker 8: hot air back down to where you are down on
Speaker 8: the floor.
Speaker 1: Who knows the switch? Like I said, I was. I
Speaker 1: think that I discovered it not right when I first
Speaker 1: started using a fan, But then I'm surprised that people
Speaker 1: don't know that. So hopefully maybe this was our public
Speaker 1: service for the day.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: Okay, and much more on staying cool during our hot
Speaker 1: Southern California summer with Home with Dean Sharp coming up
Speaker 1: this weekend six to eight tomorrow right here on KFI,
Speaker 1: and then nine to noon on Saturday. You can also
Speaker 1: follow Dean at Home with Dean. It's at Home with Dean,
Speaker 1: not Dean Sharp. Right now at Home with Dean, Just
Speaker 1: at Home with Dean. Keep it nice and easy. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, Dean, Stay cool. Thanks Amy, France's Prime
Speaker 1: minister says rail attacks that targeted three main routes to
Speaker 1: Paris were aimed to block the high speed rail network.
Speaker 1: About eight hundred thousand riders were affected as the train
Speaker 1: system came to a halt in areas just hours before
Speaker 1: opening ceremony for the twenty twenty four Summer Olympic Games.
Speaker 1: Flames from a one hundred and forty five acre fire
Speaker 1: burning in Riverside County have jumped the highway, closing Highway
Speaker 1: seventy four between San Juan Capistrano and Lake Elsinore. Dozens
Speaker 1: of families have been told to get out as the
Speaker 1: fire burns closer to their homes. It's fifteen percent surrounded.
Speaker 1: Press Secretary Carne Jean Pierre has been pressed to elaborate
Speaker 1: on why President Biden dropped out of the race after
Speaker 1: he really didn't explain why in his Oval office address.
Speaker 1: Jean Pierre continued to say that the President wanted to
Speaker 1: pass the torch to a new generation, but refused to
Speaker 1: say whether the decision was based on his age or
Speaker 1: whether he would lose to former President Trump in November.
Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from Handle on the news this
Speaker 1: morning to debate or not to debate. That is up
Speaker 1: for debate as we head to the next scheduled debate
Speaker 1: in September between former President Trump and now possibly most
Speaker 1: likely presidential candidate Harris. Let's say good morning now to
Speaker 1: ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason, move over Inside Out. Here comes
Speaker 1: Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 11: Yes, this is gonna be possibly probably the biggest opening
Speaker 11: weekend of the year so far. We're looking at maybe
Speaker 11: one hundred and seventy million, which would beat Inside Out two,
Speaker 11: which had the previous best of one hundred and fifty
Speaker 11: five million. But some think this could get to two
Speaker 11: hundred million dollars this weekend, which I think is a possibility.
Speaker 11: And it's definitely going to break the record for the
Speaker 11: biggest opening weekend of an R rated film of all time,
Speaker 11: which the original Deadpool holds from twenty sixteen with one
Speaker 11: hundred and thirty two million. So it's gonna set records
Speaker 11: this weekend because it is just it's it's great, it's
Speaker 11: so much fun, and it's exactly what you want from
Speaker 11: Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 11: You got the fight scenes, you got road trip stuff,
Speaker 11: they're they're going at each other, they're having fun with
Speaker 11: each other, and it's also very, very funny, which is
Speaker 11: my favorite part of the Deadpool movies. I love how
Speaker 11: they break the fourth wall. I love all the just
Speaker 11: the edginess of the humor. I love the r ratedness
Speaker 11: of all the humor. This is the first one where
Speaker 11: they're under the full Disney umbrella after Disney acquired Fox,
Speaker 11: so they get to take on Disney and which is
Speaker 11: my parent company, and make some very funny jokes. They
Speaker 11: make a lot of jokes at the expense of Marvel,
Speaker 11: which has had some stumbles in its track record as
Speaker 11: of late after being pretty bulletproof for many years. So
Speaker 11: they definitely go after that. So you know, there are no.
Speaker 3: Sacred cows here, which I really appreciate as well.
Speaker 11: And you know, it gives the fans what they want,
Speaker 11: like I said, a lot of fight scenes, a lot
Speaker 11: of gore, and a lot of blood and you know
Speaker 11: that kind.
Speaker 3: Of stuff as well.
Speaker 11: And it's a course correction for Marvel, which, like I said,
Speaker 11: has had a few stumbles as of late. Main one
Speaker 11: of my main issues in it is the fact that
Speaker 11: they continue with the time variance authority and the multiverse,
Speaker 11: which I think is just I don't know. It allows
Speaker 11: them to do things like, hey, bring Wolverine back, which
Speaker 11: you may remember, Hugh Jackman's character died several years ago
Speaker 11: in a big movie and they made a big deal
Speaker 11: about that. And one of the things you can do
Speaker 11: with the multivers is kind of do whatever you want,
Speaker 11: so you can bring back a character, so there are
Speaker 11: no stakes, right it did, nothing matters if you can
Speaker 11: bring anybody back or do whatever you want. Don't really
Speaker 11: love that part about it, but otherwise, you know, it's
Speaker 11: just really good. Emma Corn is one of the villains here,
Speaker 11: playing Cassandra Nova. You might remember her from The Crown.
Speaker 11: She played a young Princess Diana, the teenage Princess Diana.
Speaker 11: She is so good in this when they let her
Speaker 11: in it. You know, the movie's not called Deadpool and
Speaker 11: Wolverine and Cassandra. It's called Deadpool and Wolverine. So she's
Speaker 11: not in I wish she was in it more because
Speaker 11: she really if she if they gave her time to
Speaker 11: kick it into like fifth or sixth year, she would
Speaker 11: have been iconic, I think. So she's really good. The
Speaker 11: rest of the sporting cast and there's you know, a
Speaker 11: bunch of cameos. They I think a lot of people
Speaker 11: have seen that they're going to be, but they haven't
Speaker 11: been spoiled necessarily online. So this is, for me an
Speaker 11: eight point seven out of ten, one of one of
Speaker 11: the one of the funniest movies of the year so.
Speaker 1: Far, pretty impressive on the Jasonometer. One question for you.
Speaker 1: Have have Wolverine and Deadpool met before this movie?
Speaker 3: They have not.
Speaker 11: Okay, in comics and things like that, Yes, and they
Speaker 11: are both part of the X Men universe, but no.
Speaker 11: So this is so, this is why people expected that
Speaker 11: they would and so that's what they've been waiting for
Speaker 11: with this, and the fans are going to be I
Speaker 11: think pretty thrilled by it. I was sitting next to
Speaker 11: one guy, you know, I'm I like this stuff, but
Speaker 11: I'm not. I wouldn't call myself a fanboy. I was
Speaker 11: sitting next to one guy who was and man, he
Speaker 11: could not stop clapping very loudly throughout Whenever there was
Speaker 11: a cameo or this person came on from this movie
Speaker 11: or whatever. It was a lot of clapping, a lot
Speaker 11: of like really hard loud clapping.
Speaker 1: Okay, so then let's move over from superheroes to super women.
Speaker 1: The Fabulous Four is also coming out this weekend.
Speaker 11: Yes, and don't mistake the two, because I think you'd
Speaker 11: be sorely disappointed. This is the latest in what has
Speaker 11: kind of become a genre of older women superstar actresses
Speaker 11: teaming up together for comedies. Right We've had Ady for Brady,
Speaker 11: We've had book Club, We've had some others and this
Speaker 11: one now features Bette Midler, Susan Sarand and Megan Malalley
Speaker 11: and Cheryl Lee Ralph who played four really good friends.
Speaker 11: They travel to Key West for a wedding. There's some
Speaker 11: conflict between some of them. Bottom line is, like some
Speaker 11: of the other superstar team up comedies.
Speaker 3: This was just not funny. But this is probably the
Speaker 3: worst of the bunch that I've.
Speaker 11: I look, I love Bett Midler, she hasn't been in
Speaker 11: stuff for a little while.
Speaker 3: She is way over the top of this.
Speaker 11: The only thing that I enjoyed about it was probably
Speaker 11: Megan Malaly, who steals most of her scenes as she
Speaker 11: does and most of the things that she's in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she is.
Speaker 11: But this is probably my lowest rated movie since I
Speaker 11: started doing the numbers.
Speaker 3: This is a four point three out of ten for me.
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, it's just kind of proving that Hollywood says,
Speaker 1: oh that worked, Let's do it again and again and
Speaker 1: again and again.
Speaker 11: And I don't look, I don't mind that because I know,
Speaker 11: especially how hard it is for older women to get
Speaker 11: starring roles in things, and I appreciate them making stuff
Speaker 11: for that audience, make it good and trying that stuff,
Speaker 11: but they have not hit on the formula yet properly.
Speaker 11: And the problem is you only get so many chances
Speaker 11: before they stop doing it right, and especially putting it
Speaker 11: in theaters, which is I think it's an interesting strategy,
Speaker 11: especially in this time of streaming. I think they're concerned.
Speaker 11: You know, older people don't stream as much, so maybe
Speaker 11: they'll go to the theaters.
Speaker 3: But I don't know about that.
Speaker 11: So I get what they're trying to do, and I
Speaker 11: really appreciate it, but this movie is not it.
Speaker 1: We got good writers in Hollywood, write better, you guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially for this caliber of actors. I love the idea
Speaker 1: of it. Like you said, it's kind of fun, but
Speaker 1: you know, they could make it better. I think, So okay,
Speaker 1: real quick, because I know we got to go. There's
Speaker 1: a new streaming bundle in town. Yes, the bad and
Speaker 1: the ugly about it.
Speaker 11: This is Disney Plus, Hulu and Max all joining forces,
Speaker 11: which is just would be unheard of a few years ago,
Speaker 11: although these streaming service didn't exist a few years ago,
Speaker 11: but unheard of four Warner Brothers, Discovery and Disney to
Speaker 11: join together on streaming stuff because they're competitors. But the
Speaker 11: thought here is that if you do this and you
Speaker 11: bundle them together, you're gonna you're gonna reduce churn, which
Speaker 11: is the kind of thing where people sign up for
Speaker 11: something and then they ditch it, Like say, say you
Speaker 11: watch House of the Dragon on HBO, right and you
Speaker 11: sign up for Max to get that, and then it
Speaker 11: ends and you don't have anything else down there, so
Speaker 11: you ditch it until the next thing comes out. But
Speaker 11: if you have three of these services together, ideally there
Speaker 11: would be something you're always watching, so you're not gonna
Speaker 11: get rid of it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have a question for you. If I
Speaker 1: have Disney Plus right now, which already has Hulu on
Speaker 1: it and National Geographic and some other stuff, is Max
Speaker 1: gonna be added into that? Or am I gonna have
Speaker 1: to go sign up for the new bundle.
Speaker 11: No, you're gonna have to sign up for the new bundle,
Speaker 11: and they're gonna be separate services. So you can watch
Speaker 11: Hulu on Disney Plus, but you can't watch Max on
Speaker 11: Disney Oh okay, they're separate.
Speaker 3: You're just paying for them together.
Speaker 11: Okay, gotcha, And you're gonna save about thirty five to
Speaker 11: thirty eight percent. I think for for my bundle, which
Speaker 11: has no ads, I was saving seven bucks a month
Speaker 11: by doing it. So you know it's it's not nothing,
Speaker 11: but it's it's not a whole lot, but it's something.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, check in it, see if it makes
Speaker 1: sense for you. Jason Nathanson, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: You're welcome to think here.
Speaker 1: Tout to you soon. Let's get back to some of
Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news.
Speaker 1: Y're in property values in La County of broken a record.
Speaker 12: The La County Assessor announced the twenty twenty four assessment
Speaker 12: role has increased by ninety seven billion dollars over last year.
Speaker 12: Assessor Representative Steve Whitmore says this marks fourteen years of
Speaker 12: continuous growth.
Speaker 11: The city with the largest assessed value growth over last
Speaker 11: year was Englewood at twenty point two percent.
Speaker 12: He says that's great news for public services, school districts,
Speaker 12: and the county, which will benefit from increased revenue. This
Speaker 12: is the first time the assessment in La County has
Speaker 12: reached the two trillion dollar mark.
Speaker 3: Chris Adler, KFFI News.
Speaker 1: LA Metro's Board of directors has approved sixty five million
Speaker 1: dollars to build upon its writer safety Pilot program. Board
Speaker 1: member in La County, Supervisor Katherine Barger, says the decision
Speaker 1: shows it'll take more than just adding police officers.
Speaker 13: For those that were concerned that we were going to
Speaker 13: have we were going to completely statuate just law enforce,
Speaker 13: there are things we can do outside of public safety
Speaker 13: that are going to help address this issue.
Speaker 1: Metro will we'll require writers to tap to exit at
Speaker 1: more end of line stations after first trying it out
Speaker 1: in North Hollywood. Taller turnstiles and smart restrooms will also
Speaker 1: be installed at select stations over the next several years.
Speaker 1: This is KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
