He wanted it inside. 7 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.519 He wanted the word wow in him. 8 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.920 That's really deep. Based on what I've seen in his eyes, 9 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:26.839 that's not the case. 10 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.839 But I don't know, no, what what do you think 11 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.120 he wanted with the yoga block, He also wanted the 12 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.600 yoga He felt so strongly about yoga, he wanted it 13 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.479 inside as well. 14 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:35.280 I don't know. 15 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.920 I just think it was a funny texture in his mouth, 16 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:39.840 more more so than the Bible. 17 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.399 We've got another crazy RFK junior story. We know about 18 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:48.960 the bear carcass, the whale carcass. Now, Caroline Kennedy is 19 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:54.200 uh his cousins, as you all know, and she has 20 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.799 this anecdote that he enjoyed showing off how he put 21 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.520 baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed his hawks. 22 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.159 She says it was a perverse scene of despair and violence. 23 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.640 And to that, I say, Caroline, that's awful. That's awful. 24 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.319 I would not have liked to see that. But you 25 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.799 had to come to the party before the beer. The 26 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.079 bear carcass and the whale carcass, and the blood raining 27 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.959 down inside into his children's mouths inside the car. That 28 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.280 stuff was that they took the cake. The bear and 29 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:28.480 the whale took the cake. The baby chickens and the mice. 30 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.359 Very disturbing, but not on par with the bear and 31 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:32.799 the whale. 32 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.640 She said, it's no surprise that he keeps birds of 33 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.079 prey as pets because he himself is a predator. 34 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.879 Okay, got a lot of problems in that family, a 35 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.640 lot of problems. No money, no problem. 36 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.959 His confirmation, by the way, is Thursday. He can only 37 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.120 afford to lose three Republican votes. We already know Bill 38 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.120 Cassidy and Mitch McConnell have expressed concerns. 39 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.799 They haven't come out right and said no. 40 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.680 And an op piece in the New York Post, which 41 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.799 is traditionally pretty conservative and lately has been going basically 42 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.919 along with everything that Trump wants. There's an op ed 43 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.479 piece asking senators to deny him the ability to become 44 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:14.400 the Secretary of Health. 45 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.479 And Human services. 46 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.919 Well is that because of the abortion thing? 47 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:19.000 Very much? 48 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:19.080 So? 49 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.240 Okay, what else is going on? 50 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.960 Time four? What's happening? 51 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.520 Well, the eping is. 52 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:33.439 Water damage, fire damage merglery called public adjuster abner gap 53 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.560 eight one eight nine one seven, five two five six. 54 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.360 The LA Fire Department is not going away and they 55 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.639 shouldn't well, I mean in terms of their argument that 56 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.520 they are underpaid and understaffed. I mean the different states 57 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.800 of dilapidation have been publicized of fire stations in Los Angeles, 58 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.039 the funding cuts, the staff, and all of it has 59 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.360 been out there since these fires are ravaged through the Palisades, 60 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.280 even as Altadina fires continue to burn as well. This 61 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.120 is going to be something that is a focus at 62 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.000 city Hall for the foreseeable future. 63 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:14.719 Guys. 64 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.960 This is a thing that I think might come as 65 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.319 a result of this cleaning out lifelong politicians in local politics, 66 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:26.840 cleaning them out. 67 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.280 That clean out all the crooks who know how to 68 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:33.080 steal money from the public coffers. They are practicing it, 69 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.840 they are learned in it, they were apprentices in it, 70 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.479 and now they are masters at it, stealing money instead 71 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.439 of staffing fire departments to where they should be staffed. 72 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.800 They're stealing your money to do with whatever they want 73 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.840 to do with it so that they can get their 74 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.800 back scratched on the back end. 75 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.639 And here's the unfortunate part about that. 76 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.919 As much as I support what we're talking about and 77 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.319 cleaning out, there are some people in politics who are 78 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.800 good hearted people who are going to suffer the consequences below. 79 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.280 Need no. I almost said the full word, you mean, 80 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.919 you show me a good person in government in LA 81 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:11.680 right now? 82 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.800 Well, I'm saying that there's got to be somebody and untedward. 83 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.879 Somebody who's not ding around with the public money, still 84 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.439 bright eyed and bushy tailed, and yeah, find me that 85 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.160 person and bring them to me. 86 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.079 Metrolink had to temporarily hald service on three lines. LADWP 87 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.759 crews were working to clear some lines because they had 88 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.240 fallen onto the tracks. They said they were unable to 89 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.680 release all the tracks at this time. But so if 90 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.160 you're the track is also impacting the Amtrak Pacific surf 91 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.480 Liner service and affecting Union Pacific freight movement as well. 92 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.319 The doomsday clock, the clock that means not means nothing, 93 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.680 moves closer to midnight. Climate change, nuclear war, pandemics AI 94 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.720 We're all screwed, and we're close to completely screwed, more 95 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.920 close than usual. We have the doomstay clock moving closer 96 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.199 to completely screwed every year, do we not? Eighty nine 97 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.639 seconds till completely screwed is the latest count? 98 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:12.879 Has it ever gone the other way? I don't think 99 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:14.199 I've ever done a story where he. 100 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.279 Is really into the doomsday clock. Was Ken Champeau. He 101 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.959 really kept tabs on that doomsday clock ever since he left. 102 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.639 I have no idea we could be hurtling towards disaster. 103 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.040 I saw this story today on Twitter and it said 104 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.560 Melissa McCarthy is going to get her oscar when she 105 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.279 plays this character. An elementary school principle has been arrested 106 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.560 after throwing a huge house party with over one hundred kids. 107 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.120 Now they're not elementary school kids, apparently at least not 108 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.040 all of them, but Cocoa Beach Police Department responded to 109 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.199 a home after reports of a huge house party. They 110 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.600 found over one hundred kids at the residence in matching 111 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.040 T shirts, many of whom were consuming alcohol that was 112 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.079 later learned to be available in coolers at the residence. 113 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.360 The homeowner, identified as a with Hill Bradigan.

They 122 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.120 have not yet made a statement when we come back 123 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:48.720 Artificial intelligence. I asked AI to write a holiday radio 124 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:49.480 play for us. 125 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.920 It never made the air until today. 126 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.800 We were talking about AI all in the news this 127 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.560 week because of China's AI company Deep Seak, who says, 128 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.959 needs your fancy expensive computer chips that the prior administration 129 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.560 said your companies were not allowed to give us. No, 130 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.959 We've found cheaper chips that do it just as well. 131 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.519 That has sent markets all over the place this week 132 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.040 in terms of the Nasdaq and S and P five hundred. 133 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:18.680 Well. 134 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.000 President Trump says, hey, it's a wake up call.

Why. 196 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:21.120 Oh sorry, I'll take a coffee black. No, I'm sorry, sorry, Okay. 197 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.679 Wow, you're stepping on people.

You know, Charlie here could use a little of 202 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.000 your grumpy magic. Maybe it'll rub off on him, make 203 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:36.960 him stop moping about the holiday. 204 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.039 Christmas haven't really had a real Christmas in years.

There was 208 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.240 something about him, something that didn't quite fit in with 209 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.159 the festive cheer that surrounded Wintervale. Some thought he was 210 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.000 just a grumpy old man, but others, well, they wondered 211 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.759 if there was more to his story. 212 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.240 Outside. 213 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.600 Something magical was about to happen. A single star appeared 214 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.000 in the sky above winter Vale, brighter than any other, 215 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.559 twinkling with a secret. 216 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.440 Okay, now, first of all, that's supposed to be Act one. 217 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.600 It was supposed to be eight minutes long.

The last time I made a wish, 240 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.440 it didn't turn out so well. 241 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.120 Wishes don't mean much, kid, trust me, they come, they go. 242 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.480 Life's not a fairy tale. 243 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.080 But just as Sam spoke, there was a sudden rustling 244 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.559 in the air, a flurry of snowflakes swirling in a 245 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.200 pattern that made the others paws and look up. And 246 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.639 then out of the snow, a voice, deep and warm, 247 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.399 filled the air. 248 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:34.039 Oh oh, it's not always about what you see, but 249 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.399 what you believe, my friend. 250 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:41.559 Yeah, all right, uh. Act three. There was less than 251 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.320 a minute the wish revealed. 252 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.320 The next day, Christmas morning arrived in a quiet and 253 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.720 unexpected way. The town square was covered in fresh snow, 254 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.440 and the sound of children's laughter echoed through the streets. 255 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.519 But one thing stood out. The people of winter Vile, 256 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.320 with hearts full of wonder, were about to unco or 257 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.039 something they never expected. 258 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.039 Charlie, Look, it's a gift just for you. 259 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.240 What this is this is crazy. Who would leave this? Here? 260 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.799 In front of Charlie's diner, Beneath the old oak tree 261 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.480 was a gift wrapped in sparkling red paper, tied with 262 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:15.320 a golden boat. 263 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.240 I don't know about this. Something feels off. I knew it. 264 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.360 Someone's trying to pull a fast one. Nothing's free. 265 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.200 Sometimes the best gifts don't have a price. They're simply 266 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.360 meant to remind us that miracles do happen even when 267 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:29.679 we least expect. 268 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:35.120 Come on, Charlie, open it. 269 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.159 It's a It's a picture of my mom and me 270 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:41.200 from when I was a kid. 271 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.879 But how some wishes are answered in ways we can't 272 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.879 understand at first, But they come when we're ready to 273 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:49.600 believe again. 274 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.480 And just as they all stood there puzzled, the wind 275 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.159 picked up and another voice echoed through the square. 276 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.519 The true magic of Christmases and in the gifts. It's 277 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.440 in the hearts we touch, the men we cherish, and 278 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:02.200 the love we give. 279 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:11.720 Music it's the wrong music. I'm working off a shoe 280 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.440 string budget. 281 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:16.000 Here. The day continued, and winter Vale was brighter than 282 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.519 ever before. The magic that had touched the town was 283 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.120 not just a momentary thing. It was something that lingered 284 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.759 in the hearts of its people who had rediscovered the 285 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.399 wonder of the holiday season. 286 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.120 You know, maybe there's something to this Christmas magic after all. 287 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.279 Maybe it's not too late to start believing. Aim. 288 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.399 I knew it, You just needed to open your heart 289 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:34.720 to it. 290 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.840 Charlie, Well, I'll be maybe there's more to Christmas than 291 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.919 I thought, But I'm not going to start seeing Christmas 292 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.759 carols or nothing. 293 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.320 You don't have to sing, Sam, but you might want 294 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.440 to say Merry Christmas to someone today. You never know 295 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:49.960 what a little kindness can do. 296 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.399 And so on that Christmas Day in winter Vale, the 297 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.600 magic of the season worked its wonders. Old wounds healed, 298 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.279 memories were cherished, and new wishes were made, ones that 299 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.799 came true in ways no one could have predicted. 300 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.320 Marry Christmas to all and to all. 301 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:11.080 Nice and short and sweet, Jacob, do you feel seen 302 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:11.559 or what? 303 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.519 Yeah? 304 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.279 I want to read at the end, because so again, 305 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.679 Keana mentioned the prompt that I had put in there, 306 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.840 and the chatch Ept then spit out this crappy little 307 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.399 script at the end. It says, this play brings together 308 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.720 Christmas magic, personal reflection, and a community coming together. It 309 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.799 balances the humor of quirky characters with the warmth and 310 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.879 sincerity of the holiday spirit. Each act flows smoothly, tying 311 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.000 up the town's mysteries while leaving room for heartwarming moments 312 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:45.720 and the fulfillment of wishes. 313 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.159 How long did it take you to put together the 314 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:49.799 regular Christmas play? 315 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.080 I have no idea. 316 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.080 A long time. 317 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.919 I think that's the well because there's two of them there. 318 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.600 We've gone back and forth. We go from It's a 319 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:05.039 Wonderful Life to a Christmas Carol, and both of them 320 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.799 are Christmas Carol's in the public domain, so the script 321 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.840 is easy to grab. You can grab a bunch of 322 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.559 different versions of the script. So I took like a 323 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.639 basic one and then modified it. But that took a 324 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.960 long time, several days, timely references in it. It has 325 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.639 a lot of personality that went into it. 326 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.480 And each act was like eight minutes. 327 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.120 Yeah, this was like thirty seconds.
