Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Reesmier.
Speaker 3: Good afternoon on this Sunday in Los Angeles from sunny
Speaker 3: Burbank in the mean streets of the Burbank Media District.
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Reesmeyer.
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us today. It's Oscar Sunday. You can
Speaker 3: tell how well I'm doing it entertainment reporting for KTLA
Speaker 3: because I'm here. I'm here at KFI. I'm so happy
Speaker 3: to be here. I was invited to come do a
Speaker 3: couple hours with you guys this weekend, and I'll be
Speaker 3: here I hopefully hopefully next weekend, as long as I
Speaker 3: don't do anything out of sorts. You may know me,
Speaker 3: you may not. I am on KTLA, which is a
Speaker 3: television station, and I've been there for a couple of years,
Speaker 3: since twenty eighteen, I think. But I always have loved radio,
Speaker 3: and I've always been a big time KFI fan. I've
Speaker 3: been a big Conway Show fan. When I first moved
Speaker 3: to LA in twenty ten, I didn't know a soul
Speaker 3: and I was pretty lonely, and I remember going driving
Speaker 3: in traffic and not knowing anything, and I think I
Speaker 3: put on the radio station and I heard Conway and
Speaker 3: I just was like, oh, well, this is I got
Speaker 3: to listen.
Speaker 2: This is great.
Speaker 3: And so I've listened pretty much every time I get
Speaker 3: for fifteen years. So very happy to be here. It's
Speaker 3: kind of a pinch me moment, for sure. I've always
Speaker 3: loved radio since I was a kid. My aunt was
Speaker 3: on the radio in Chicago. She was on WMAQ, which
Speaker 3: was a news talk radio station, and I went and
Speaker 3: I visited her. As a young child, I went to
Speaker 3: Chicago from Indiana, from the cornfields to the big city
Speaker 3: of Chicago, and I, you know, it was a big
Speaker 3: deal for me, not just because I saw her on
Speaker 3: the radio, but I wrote an elevator that day, which
Speaker 3: is huge in India. You know, we don't have elevators
Speaker 3: in Indiana very much, so it was it was quite
Speaker 3: a thing to get over the elevator. But once I
Speaker 3: got to the top of this building in downtown Chicago,
Speaker 3: it was the newsroom of WMAQ, which was the radio
Speaker 3: station AM Radio, I think six seventy AM. And I
Speaker 3: remember being there in the excitement of all of this,
Speaker 3: and I was probably five or six years old, and
Speaker 3: I remember everybody running around and they had all these
Speaker 3: windows that looked out into the city of Chicago, and
Speaker 3: we were way high up above it, and there was
Speaker 3: so much energy and it was so exciting. I just
Speaker 3: thought it was the coolest darn thing in the world.
Speaker 3: And I was about to watch my aunt do a report.
Speaker 3: I think she was anchoring in the morning, and I
Speaker 3: remember being next to this guy in the newsroom who
Speaker 3: was prepping his show, and it was like he was
Speaker 3: so focused and he was writing. He was typing on
Speaker 3: this computer and it was one of those this is
Speaker 3: that old where like the computer had you know, it
Speaker 3: was like orange, does that make sense? It had orange
Speaker 3: and black and that was it. There was two colors
Speaker 3: to the computer. And he's typing and he's typing, and
Speaker 3: he's freaking out because he's got like a minute before
Speaker 3: his script can be done, before he can go in
Speaker 3: there and do his and do his hit. And he's
Speaker 3: typing and he's I'm like, this guy's gonna he's gotta.
Speaker 2: Be talking in a minute. How is he gonna do it?
Speaker 2: And he made it.
Speaker 3: And I remember thinking, oh, this is awesome because you
Speaker 3: can procrastinate to the very last minute, and that can
Speaker 3: be your job and you aren't you aren't going to
Speaker 3: get fired if that's what you do, and so I
Speaker 3: think that that's why I ended up in this.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm I'm on KTLA in the mornings.
Speaker 3: You may have seen me. I do some fun stuff there.
Speaker 3: You wear a lot of hats there, thank you, I do.
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite hat? The one that the
Speaker 3: one that looks like a bald cap, you know that
Speaker 3: then has the hair on the side.
Speaker 4: Does that make say Andrew Caravello. Everybody, by the way, Hello, Hey,
Speaker 4: how's it going.
Speaker 2: Andy?
Speaker 3: I'm so I'm so happy to talk to you. It's
Speaker 3: very strange just to speak to you because usually I
Speaker 3: just hear.
Speaker 2: You right right?
Speaker 4: Are you now? Well, you're Andy, I'm Andrews. So there
Speaker 4: wasn't enough ans on the weekend.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 4: Are you the only Andy or Andrew over at KTLA.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm Andy KTLA and that's it. And I have
Speaker 3: a rule in my contract. Andy Cohen will not be
Speaker 3: hired at KTLA. No one else with the same name
Speaker 3: can can come through those doors at Sunset Brons.
Speaker 2: And that's just the rule.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't get paid a lot, but I
Speaker 3: do have that rule, and they honor that rule, So
Speaker 3: I'm very happy about that. But mister Caravella, did you
Speaker 3: ever go by and family? Yeah, that's a that's a
Speaker 3: family name there, so never in public. This is funny.
Speaker 3: I'm the exact opposite. My family calls me Andrew. When
Speaker 3: I'm in trouble, I'm Andrew, and when i'm professional, I'm Andy,
Speaker 3: So professional quote unquote.
Speaker 2: But lots of stuff going on here on this Oscar Sunday.
Speaker 2: Are you excited?
Speaker 3: Are you one of the forty percent of Americans who
Speaker 3: have not seen one Oscar film?
Speaker 4: I have publicly admitted I've only seen two, and one
Speaker 4: of them is animated.
Speaker 2: So this is so. Which ones have you seen?
Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 2: Well? Wicked?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 4: I saw Wicked? And then the what's the Feelings one?
Speaker 4: The second one?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What is it? Robin? You you like cartoons?
Speaker 3: Wow, said with no disdain, Robin Hi, Robin on the
Speaker 3: ones and twos?
Speaker 2: Back there?
Speaker 3: Hello, do we know the name of the movie or
Speaker 3: it's a Pixar or okay, all right, good?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Inside Out that's it? Inside Out two? Yes, the sequel
Speaker 3: to Inside Out one as it were.
Speaker 4: Even when I saw the movie names, I'm like, oh
Speaker 4: my goodness, I didn't even remember hearing a trailer for it, so.
Speaker 2: I was bad this year.
Speaker 3: Well, I think you're not alone. It does feel like
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a bummer. Coming up, we're
Speaker 3: going to talk to Mike Capes, who is an actor, director, comedian,
Speaker 3: very funny guy. He's in this incredible movie called The
Speaker 3: Invisible Raptor, and he's going to join me to talk
Speaker 3: about what's going on with the Oscars here and why
Speaker 3: people feel a little bit sort of down on it.
Speaker 3: And more importantly, if you're like me or maybe Andrew Caravello,
Speaker 3: who haven't seen a ton of movies, how you can
Speaker 3: survive at an Oscar's party if you get stuck in
Speaker 3: an Oscar's conversation, so people don't think that you're dumb.
Speaker 3: That's really that's what we're actually all here for. How
Speaker 3: can I trick people into thinking that I'm not dumb?
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you more about KTLA in the next book.
Speaker 3: I want to just do a couple of news news
Speaker 3: bits here before we handed off to mister Karravello. The
Speaker 3: big news last week was, of course there's a lot
Speaker 3: of stuff, but really the Ukraine dust up in the
Speaker 3: White House and looks like today Europe is stepping up
Speaker 3: to help Ukraine. Those are some tense moments in the
Speaker 3: White House on Friday between President Trump and the Ukrainian
Speaker 3: President Vladimir Zelenski. A deal was supposed to be reached
Speaker 3: over an investment fund that both countries would manage redevelopment
Speaker 3: for Ukraine. So basically, in exchange for helping Ukraine in
Speaker 3: it's war with Russia, the US would get to partially
Speaker 3: manage a fund made up of basically their rare minerals
Speaker 3: and things that are mined, oil, gas, etc. Instead, it
Speaker 3: went off the rails. You can listen here to some
Speaker 3: tension between both leaders. I promise you it's very tense.
Speaker 3: I know you didn't hear it. The suspense is killing me.
Speaker 3: But you can look at it. I tell you, we've
Speaker 3: all heard it by this point, right, I mean it's tense.
Speaker 3: He tells them to believe you know this sort of says.
Speaker 3: Then the back and forth. Eventually Trump ended up asking
Speaker 3: the Ukrainian president to leave without validating you packing We're
Speaker 3: not gonna do it.
Speaker 2: I do not do a good truck. No, that's good.
Speaker 3: You've taken improv ya ya yes, yes, and I do
Speaker 3: I do We do have it all right? Well, let's
Speaker 3: listen to about thirty seconds of that.
Speaker 8: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky arrived at the White House Friday
Speaker 8: for high stakes talks with President Doctors about the war
Speaker 8: in Ukraine.
Speaker 7: Question.
Speaker 8: After sitting down in the Oval Office, an astonishing exchange,
Speaker 8: the two world leaders shouting at one another.
Speaker 5: It's big trouble. No, No, you've done a lot of talking.
Speaker 5: Your country is in big trouble. I know you're not winning,
Speaker 5: You're not winning.
Speaker 9: This.
Speaker 8: Part of today's goal was to sign an agreement that
Speaker 8: would give the US access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals
Speaker 8: in exchange for what Ukraine hoped would be concrete security guarantees.
Speaker 5: You're not in a good position. You don't have the
Speaker 5: cards right now. Okay with us, you start having cars.
Speaker 2: You start having the cards. You heard it. There so
Speaker 2: no parking validated. That's it.
Speaker 3: Zelensky later did an interview on Fox with Brett bhar
Speaker 3: asking the Ukrainian president if he would apologize for the meeting.
Speaker 3: He denied any wrongdoing. He said, no, I respect the President,
Speaker 3: I respect the American people, and I don't know. I
Speaker 3: think we have to be very open and very honest,
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure we did something bad. At the
Speaker 3: end of the meeting, President Trump said it did make
Speaker 3: for good television. Many news outlets suggested the trouble began
Speaker 3: when the Ukrainian president arrived at the White House without
Speaker 3: wearing a suit. Was that the start of it? Trump
Speaker 3: likes it when you wear a suit. You really should
Speaker 3: have seen him. He came in the little lung John's.
Speaker 3: I hear he get him. He gets him at Marshall's.
Speaker 3: He doesn't even have a TGX rewards card. It's very sad.
Speaker 3: I'm working on I don't know why I chose that
Speaker 3: hard choice to do a not good impression of the
Speaker 3: president anyway, So what happens now? According to ABC News,
Speaker 3: the White House is strongly considering cutting off shipments of
Speaker 3: military aid to Ukraine.
Speaker 2: But today European.
Speaker 3: Leaders held a summit to discuss how the continent can
Speaker 3: provide security guarantees of Russia and Ukraine reach a ceasefire agreement.
Speaker 3: A Zelinsky was there, even the Canadians were there, but
Speaker 3: the US is not. So they're working on a plan
Speaker 3: and they're going to present that to the US. So
Speaker 3: we will hear more about that. Very soon, but lots
Speaker 3: to come today. Coming up, we're gonna talk about the
Speaker 3: Oscars with Mike Capes. You don't want to miss that.
Speaker 3: Plus the Battle of LA parking Lots. What is the
Speaker 3: worst parking lot in Los Angeles? There's got to be
Speaker 3: a winner. You can let us know.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3: Andy Reesemeyer, thanks for joining us here on this Sunday
Speaker 3: in La Sunday, March second. It's the beginning of the week,
Speaker 3: it's the end of last week. Don't fact check me
Speaker 3: on any of that stuff. Closure to talk about out
Speaker 3: there on the roadways. Topanga Canyon is closed. If you
Speaker 3: were on the KTLA website today, you might have seen
Speaker 3: this push that the Topanga Canyons shut down indefinitely, and
Speaker 3: we did didn't say where. So I feel like it
Speaker 3: is my specific obligation here to right the wrongs of
Speaker 3: the past. It is from basically pch. If you're even
Speaker 3: able to get over there up to Glen Grand grand
Speaker 3: View Drive, I believe. Oh boy, remember when I said
Speaker 3: I was gonna right the wrongs? And then who even knows?
Speaker 3: It's closed down there because of a big rock and
Speaker 3: it will remain closed indefinitely because of washouts. And it's
Speaker 3: just another thing with all of the fires and the rains.
Speaker 3: And I mean even before the fires, there was a
Speaker 3: lot of issues over there. Grand View Drive pH to
Speaker 3: grand View Drive. So if you're familiar with this area
Speaker 3: of PCH, it's basically the big mountainous cavernous area in
Speaker 3: between PCH on Tapega and where the fun little shops start.
Speaker 3: Caravell You ever get down there at a Topanga canyon.
Speaker 3: I used to little hippie vibe for you. Do you
Speaker 3: have any macroma hanging on your walls?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I just sometimes, like when I was in that area,
Speaker 4: like I'd stop to get coffee and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good. There's this good coffee there in in
Speaker 3: the seventh ray. I believe it's what it's called is
Speaker 3: a great spot. And I feel terrible for all those
Speaker 3: businesses because not only have the fire has been so difficult,
Speaker 3: but a lot of them have had to shut down
Speaker 3: because of just those mudslides in the past. And uh,
Speaker 3: it's it's really tough there. So hopefully they'll be able
Speaker 3: to clear all of that out. But you know, la
Speaker 3: and driving, it's terrible. But once you get to where
Speaker 3: you're going, the trouble doesn't stop. We've been talking about
Speaker 3: this all week. The worst parking lots in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: There's a meme account called Americana Meme Americana at Brand memes,
Speaker 3: and this thing is it's not affiliated with the Americana
Speaker 3: at Brand at all. It's just inside jokes about Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: It's very funny stuff. We love it, and we found
Speaker 3: on KTLA that we were so interested in it. We
Speaker 3: wanted to see if our KTLA news people who are
Speaker 3: obviously they know a lot of stuff. They don't know
Speaker 3: where Grand View Drive is, but they do know a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff. So we were going to ask them
Speaker 3: what they thought, and we'll tell you about what the
Speaker 3: meme account is doing and how we want to hear
Speaker 3: from you about your your nominations for worst parking lots
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
Speaker 3: We asked our very own KTLA experts, that's me, what
Speaker 3: they thought. These lines exist for a reason, and if
Speaker 3: your car is on the middle of those two devices,
Speaker 3: you should it should be okay to send you to
Speaker 3: prison for life.
Speaker 2: The worst parking lot in Los.
Speaker 9: Angeles anything between Sixth Street and wheelshare in Koreatown.
Speaker 7: It's awful.
Speaker 10: Any South Bay Trilio's parking lot, any.
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's is going to steer you down the wrong path.
Speaker 3: Any specifics, I think more importantly, have you considered about
Speaker 3: the course your career has taken.
Speaker 9: The grove is a little difficult. I feel like I'm
Speaker 9: just sitting there.
Speaker 2: Like the groove around Christmas. If I can get very specific,
Speaker 2: the whole foods in Venice is famously crappy.
Speaker 3: Or is it a conspiracy by the local planning authorities
Speaker 3: to get us out of our cars and instead of
Speaker 3: take public transit?
Speaker 1: Can I ask again, have you considered how your career
Speaker 1: at this point in your life has taken this?
Speaker 3: David, I'm following in your footsteps.
Speaker 2: Chill ah of you without facts. Sorry, so I'm you,
Speaker 2: David Lazarus.
Speaker 4: Go right here down the street on Sunset Panda Express,
Speaker 4: Saint Andrews and sunsets.
Speaker 3: Getting a Panda Express will never provide us with lunch
Speaker 3: ever again, So thank you, thank you, Morgan.
Speaker 11: We love it.
Speaker 2: So this is how we do every day, you.
Speaker 9: Know, but you get used to it.
Speaker 2: So that's easy.
Speaker 3: Climbing out of a car there easy worst parking lot
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles.
Speaker 9: Four or five Freeway.
Speaker 2: I got a great show for you guys. Tonight train
Speaker 2: is here.
Speaker 7: What is it?
Speaker 9: The Empire Shopping Center?
Speaker 2: There's no left turns? Then no one seems to know
Speaker 2: that either. Actually on Sunset Boulevard they're through in the entrance.
Speaker 9: Are the same who designed that?
Speaker 1: Play a man?
Speaker 2: Probably worst parking lot in the city, Glenn Walker at
Speaker 2: Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have any problem parking.
Speaker 2: What happens when you go to a parking lot?
Speaker 1: They just wave me right in. It's good to be me,
Speaker 1: Glenn Walker.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so worst parking lots in Los Angeles. Thanks
Speaker 3: to Americana at Americana Brand Memes for coming up with us.
Speaker 3: They're doing an NC doublea style March Madness bracket to
Speaker 3: determine who the worst is. And every day at eleven
Speaker 3: am they post a poll and then you can vote,
Speaker 3: and then they move on to each round. And then,
Speaker 3: of course, because it's a wild card situation, as you
Speaker 3: heard there, you can nominate who you'd like and they
Speaker 3: essentially sort them into things like arenas, tourist attractions, grocery stores,
Speaker 3: malls and the rest. So I would love to hear
Speaker 3: from all of you. Caravellu. You drive, you drive a lot.
Speaker 3: Where's the worst parking lot in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: There's a couple, there's a couple. You know what.
Speaker 4: I would say, the city of West Hollywood on a
Speaker 4: Friday or Saturday night terrible, the whole city and Halloween.
Speaker 4: Also anything surrounding West Holidad. Yeah, forget about it, Richie,
Speaker 4: are you still with us?
Speaker 2: Richie? Hop on in there.
Speaker 6: I feel like, well, I'm in the valley a lot,
Speaker 6: So I would say anything on Topenga Canyon is insane,
Speaker 6: like over there by the Tipanga Mall, the village.
Speaker 2: If I'm over here.
Speaker 6: I live in Santa Clarita, So anything really on the
Speaker 6: fourteenth Freeway, anything surrounding there is insane. Everyone commute, so
Speaker 6: it's like it's crazy, like insane.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3: For me, my personal everest is this sportsman shops at
Speaker 3: Sportsman's Lodge, where the Equinox is, where the Arawon is.
Speaker 3: Because you've got all the influencers there and they're fighting
Speaker 3: for spaces with the Uber Eats drivers. There's no side walk.
Speaker 3: It's mean, it's got to be one of the worst. Possibly,
Speaker 3: I don't know what the planning agreement was for making
Speaker 3: this thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know who planned it.
Speaker 3: It's a fine establishment if they if they sponsor anything here,
Speaker 3: I apologize in advance, but well, I don't know. Well
Speaker 3: what we would love to hear from you guys, So
Speaker 3: if you'd like to, you can dial us a quick
Speaker 3: call there one eight hundred and five to two oh
Speaker 3: one KFI. That's one eight hundred five to two zero
Speaker 3: one five three four, tell us your nominations for worst

Speaker 3: share any stories about terrible parking. We got to find
Speaker 3: the real journalism here. We have to figure out what
Speaker 3: is the worst parking lot in all of LA. And
Speaker 3: I believe Richie, you probably know there's a way they
Speaker 3: can do that on the iHeartRadio app as well.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, the talkback option.
Speaker 6: Hit that little mic and give us a little like
Speaker 6: thirty second minute or second.
Speaker 3: You know, that's if they just want to say something

Speaker 3: be absolutely terrible for you. Mike Capes joining us. Mike
Speaker 3: is an actor, producer, director. He is one of the
Speaker 3: funniest people I know. I've known you for like eleven
Speaker 3: years something like that. You you did a talk show
Speaker 3: with me, and it was the only good interview I
Speaker 3: did out of like one hundred and eighty people, and
Speaker 3: I thought, well, at least at least there's something there.
Speaker 9: Thanks for being Thank you very much for having me.
Speaker 9: I love being here.
Speaker 3: We brought you in here for the Oscars. The Invisible
Speaker 3: Raptor is a movie that you just did. I would
Speaker 3: call it the critical Darling future cult classic movie of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. You came on KTLA, we talked about it.
Speaker 3: The independent film didn't get an Oscar nod.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we were really shocked by that, you know, because
Speaker 9: the film is Jurassic Park meets The Invisible Man and.
Speaker 2: Both of one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, both huge Austins. Right, so you think if you
Speaker 9: put those two together, you're a shoeing for the record.
Speaker 3: But I gotta tell you, not one you told me
Speaker 3: about this movie in your garage.
Speaker 2: No, in my garage.
Speaker 9: Yes.
Speaker 2: And it was one of those moments where.
Speaker 3: You know when your friends are saying, hey, I'm I
Speaker 3: get this movie thing, and I was like, okay, sure,
Speaker 3: good and now.
Speaker 2: But it actually got made.
Speaker 3: It got made, and it's people love it and it really,
Speaker 3: I think is a cult classic for people who.
Speaker 2: Don't know what is The Invisible Raptor about.
Speaker 9: So The Invisible Raptor is about an invisible raptor. It
Speaker 9: was created in the lab, and it escapes the lab
Speaker 9: it was created in and it reeks havoc on the
Speaker 9: small town of Spielberg County perfect spelt like Pittsburgh, Yeah,
Speaker 9: legally right. And yeah, so it's about an invisible.
Speaker 3: Dinosaur and it's a send up to all of those
Speaker 3: movies from our childhood, the eighties, fun Spielberg movies. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's funny, it's a little scary, it's got some gore,
Speaker 3: and you know, as an expert, the most famous person
Speaker 3: I know who would come in on a Sunday.
Speaker 2: I thought we would talk about movies and what's going
Speaker 2: on with the Oscars.
Speaker 3: To you know, this is such an odd year because
Speaker 3: I think that, at least for me, I've covered the
Speaker 3: Oscars pretty extensively this year. I've been doing a lot
Speaker 3: of interviews with people. There doesn't feel like there's the
Speaker 3: same kind of emphasis and excitement around, at least the
Speaker 3: movies that are nominated.
Speaker 4: I was in an uber driver in an Uber driver
Speaker 4: Cheese Luise. I was in an uber at a different store.
Speaker 3: I was wearing him as my skin like a ton
Speaker 3: Ton and Star Wars, just for warmth. So I was,
Speaker 3: you know, thinking about this. He said he was only
Speaker 3: excited for Conan right, the uber driver I was talking
Speaker 3: to yesterday. Conan the Barbarian, the Barbary. No, Conan O'Brien,
Speaker 3: the host. Yeah, and that's it, he said. He didn't
Speaker 3: care about anything else. Yeah, And I always feel like
Speaker 3: uber drivers are good people to talk to for what
Speaker 3: what people are really saying. You know, you talk to
Speaker 3: too many people like us who are in the industry
Speaker 3: no very out of touch. You need the guys who
Speaker 3: have the fingers on the polls.
Speaker 4: They hear everything, they know, they talk to everyone that's right,
Speaker 4: so they know.
Speaker 2: What do you think is wrong with the Oscars this year?
Speaker 9: I think that no, you know, not a lot of
Speaker 9: people have seen the movies. I think there hasn't been
Speaker 9: a lot of excitement for the films that are nominated.
Speaker 9: So I think that might be what you know sways
Speaker 9: people away from it. Maybe maybe they're just intimidating because
Speaker 9: they don't know. They don't want to be forced to
Speaker 9: talk about Yeah, you know, like me, I've seen you feel.
Speaker 3: Like I'm forcing you to talk about it right now
Speaker 3: on thousand percent. Okay, all right, we're gonna take a
Speaker 3: quick break from this.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand bym

Speaker 3: Sunday Sunday Sunday, Still here with Mike Capes, actor director
Speaker 3: Funny Man. Hello, So the movies that we're talking about,
Speaker 3: especially with the Oscars, you know, there's a certain class
Speaker 3: of film that an Oscar movie has to be. And
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have any predictions for who's
Speaker 3: gonna win versus who should win, versus who's gonna get snubbed.
Speaker 3: I mean, I hear for Best Picture, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: a close race.
Speaker 9: You know. I didn't see a close race, but I
Speaker 9: heard a lot of good things. No good film. I
Speaker 9: didn't see a close race either. Yeah, Nicole Kidman, right, said.

Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, but I've seen
Speaker 2: parts of it.
Speaker 9: Okay, you've seen parts.
Speaker 3: I've seen parts of it, and from what I can tell,
Speaker 3: it's a contender.
Speaker 9: I agree anything she's in, anything she touches really yeah,
Speaker 9: and you know, like it's running movie right right, yeah.
Speaker 3: Or I've also heard people say that they're putting their
Speaker 3: money on a dark horse.
Speaker 9: Oh, that's the British one.
Speaker 2: The British one is a dark horse.
Speaker 9: That's Gary Oldman. He plays a horse.
Speaker 3: Very intense scene where they nail his shoes to his feet.
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh. He's the greatest. He's the guy that
Speaker 9: can do it.
Speaker 3: He's not afraid, and I feel like a lot of
Speaker 3: actors are afraid and I looked at that. I saw
Speaker 3: that again, haven't seen it, just seen parts of it.
Speaker 9: They had to. They freighted his hair though for the role.
Speaker 2: Yeah Brindle to make Yeah, yeah he was Brindle.

Speaker 3: wasn't working at the claim Jumper. I got fired from
Speaker 3: a show. Oh they told me it was getting canceled
Speaker 3: at the Claim Jumper, and I thought, what a bleak
Speaker 3: place to get told you no longer have employment, right,
Speaker 3: not that there's any good place to get fired.
Speaker 9: I guess, well, it's good because then you could order
Speaker 9: that twelve layered chocolate cake. That's right.

Speaker 3: kids menu with the Claim Jumper worked was that you
Speaker 3: would show up, they would weigh you as a kid,
