Speaker 2: Stories We're falling for you Today.
Speaker 1: Jury selection and Karen Reid's murder trial back under way.
Speaker 2: They're in Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: Late yesterday, a total of sixteen jurors was reached. A
Speaker 1: judge once eighteen totals, so they have six alternates. She's
Speaker 1: accused of prosecutors of striking and killing her cop boyfriend
Speaker 1: with her car, John O'Keefe, back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: She says she's being framed for his killing. Her first
Speaker 1: trial last year ended with a hung jury. She claims
Speaker 1: that it was his cop buddies that led a fight
Speaker 1: with them that led to his death, and they're trying
Speaker 1: to all cover it up. It is True Crime Tuesday,
Speaker 1: which means we will bring you a true crime story
Speaker 1: coming up at twelve thirty. It is a local true
Speaker 1: crime story, and it is the tale of a woman
Speaker 1: who was accused of killing her husband, not her herself,
Speaker 1: but orchestrating the murder of her husband using her lover
Speaker 1: who happened to be a porn star at one time,
Speaker 1: and a racquetball coach.
Speaker 2: Really something for everyone.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking live to the prosecutor in the case,
Speaker 1: Beth Silverman.
Speaker 3: There is a very weird story out of Massachusetts now.
Speaker 3: A sixth staff member with a brain tumor has been
Speaker 3: identified at one hospital there in Massachusetts. All six of
Speaker 3: these staffers work or have worked, on the fifth floor
Speaker 3: of mass General Brigham's Newton Wellesley Hospital. It's about twenty
Speaker 3: miles or twenty minutes west of Boston. Each of the
Speaker 3: brain tumor cases was benign, but they said that six
Speaker 3: additional staffers on the floor were also found to have
Speaker 3: had other health concerns, and earlier this month they insisted
Speaker 3: there were no environmental risks at play. The chances of
Speaker 3: six people working in the same place with brain tumors.
Speaker 3: It's strange. Jackie Robinson Dodgers take on the Rockies tonight
Speaker 3: at Dodger Stadium, first pitches at seven o'clock. Listen every
Speaker 3: play on a five to seventy LA Sports Live from
Speaker 3: the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth. Stream all the games in
Speaker 3: HD on the iHeartRadio app. Used that keyword AM five
Speaker 3: to seventy La Sports. Everybody in baseball today? Where's the
Speaker 3: number forty two in Dodger Blue? In honor of Jackie Robbinson.
Speaker 1: A new mayor in town in San Francisco won the
Speaker 1: election in November. Daniel Lurie is his name, and people
Speaker 1: say that he is the real deal.
Speaker 2: That he is changing things up there.
Speaker 1: The last time we spoke about him, that was about
Speaker 1: how they are cracking down on the whole giving.
Speaker 2: People needles thing, which is nice.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who's aired a Levi Strauss family fortune.
Speaker 2: I did not know.
Speaker 1: This comes from one of San Francisco's most prominent families,
Speaker 1: roots dating back to the gold Rush, obviously from the
Speaker 1: Levi Strauss family deep connection to the city.
Speaker 2: He says, the vibe shift is real in our city.
Speaker 1: There's a sense of hope and optimism that we haven't
Speaker 1: seen for a long time.
Speaker 3: It's a weird thing because the derivative that's not the
Speaker 3: right word, as I say, the derivative policies that have
Speaker 3: come out of San Francisco, each iteration was farther away
Speaker 3: from common sense, it seemed over the last say, twenty
Speaker 3: five or thirty years. And Mayor London breed the previous
Speaker 3: mayor kind of epitomized that despite whatever happened during COVID,
Speaker 3: where she tried to bring some amount of common sense
Speaker 3: into this. Daniel Lurie, right after his inauguration at the
Speaker 3: beginning of January, introduces an ordinance that allows the city
Speaker 3: to more quickly open new shelter programs, new treatment programs,
Speaker 3: and then gives his office, the Mayor's office, a little
Speaker 3: bit more leeway to provide private funding for those efforts.
Speaker 3: And then and again, these are common sense things that
Speaker 3: could be done in any major city if you have
Speaker 3: common sense left. He announced the new public health policy
Speaker 3: that would prohibit but anybody from the city and any
Speaker 3: nonprofit that receives city funding from handing out sterile syringes
Speaker 3: and other clean drug supplies unless they actively work to
Speaker 3: connect somebody with services. You couldn't just hand out a
Speaker 3: clean needle and hope that that was enough to get
Speaker 3: people something help off the streets. Whatever.
Speaker 1: He's also reaching out to the business community the way
Speaker 1: that we've talked about the way things should be or
Speaker 1: could be done in Los Angeles. He's tapped a handful
Speaker 1: of these tech and business executives to act as advisors
Speaker 1: and shape policies that will help bring back downtown. Go
Speaker 1: down to downtown San Francisco. There's nothing there. It's a
Speaker 1: ghost town. We'll start it with COVID, or maybe even
Speaker 1: a little bit before COVID, but COVID shut everything down
Speaker 1: and it just has not returned. Listen to this family.
Speaker 1: His wife is a high ranking aid to Newsome. She's
Speaker 1: Newsome's chief of protocol. His son a three sport kid,
Speaker 1: eleven year old, baseball, soccer, flag football. His daughter is
Speaker 1: in the San Francisco Ballet. Performed in the San Francisco Ballet.
Speaker 1: She's fourteen. Credible, but it's nice, I mean, And he's
Speaker 1: getting the accolades from other Democrats in Sacramento. Scott Wiener
Speaker 1: is doing one of them, which is odd. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you want those fingerprints on the crime scene.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's still got He's going to have some
Speaker 3: hard times coming up. He's got some big decisions to
Speaker 3: make because I like LA. He's running a budget deficit
Speaker 3: there in San Francisco, nearly a billion dollars. That would require, again,
Speaker 3: if you use common sense, some pretty big cuts, some
Speaker 3: sweeping cuts across the across the board, and then negotiations
Speaker 3: with the Board of Supervisors, you have to have negotiations
Speaker 3: with the labor unions there. He's already gotten pushedback from
Speaker 3: some people who are concerned that all of this is
Speaker 3: going to ignite a repeat of the War on drugs?
Speaker 3: But where has what have you done in the intervening
Speaker 3: time from the late eighties early nineties when the War
Speaker 3: on drugs was such a big deal and now it's
Speaker 3: just exploded out of control in the streets of San Francisco.
Speaker 3: You got to find some other way to do things.
Speaker 3: And it sounds like, at least in the beginnings, he's
Speaker 3: got some common sense that he's trying to do things
Speaker 3: a different way.
Speaker 1: I just saw this funny story. Did you hear something
Speaker 1: we were kind of talking about off the air? But
Speaker 1: did you hear about the director of Home Alone two?
Speaker 1: Home Alone two not even the original Home Alone two
Speaker 1: Lost in New York. The director says he wishes he
Speaker 1: could remove Trump's cameo from the film. He said Trump's
Speaker 1: short role in the film has become a curse, an
Speaker 1: albatross for him.
Speaker 3: He said he can't. Thirty years ago, he.
Speaker 1: Said he can't cut the scene, and if he did,
Speaker 1: he would be sent out of the country. He said,
Speaker 1: he would be seen as not fit to live in
Speaker 1: the US and would be sent to Italy or something.
Speaker 1: This was a scene where Miculay Culkin runs into him
Speaker 1: on like fifth Avenue and asks for directions.
Speaker 3: It's a lighthearted thirty three years ago. It's a nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety two movie.
Speaker 1: It's an albatross for the director, an albatross Chris Columbus,
Speaker 1: he would be sent to Italy or this is what
Speaker 1: he think like and also ps like being sent to Italy.
Speaker 3: Awful?
Speaker 2: How awful? It's like you're sent to Syria.
Speaker 3: This is what he thinks about all day.
Speaker 2: This is what he thinks about.
Speaker 1: The Fact that he even thinks enough for this to
Speaker 1: make that Associated Press news minute is troubling to me.
Speaker 3: I'd rather talk about my taxes than think about that.
Speaker 1: I'd rather bitch about yoga directions exactly.
Speaker 2: We are doing.
Speaker 1: Okay, look at us with a level headed approach to life.
Speaker 3: How's your serenity? Juice?
Speaker 1: My serenity juice? I don't know, do I seem serene?
Speaker 3: Give it a couple Give it a couple of I
Speaker 3: think it's going to work up. Next, the demographic shift
Speaker 3: in California. Pretty interesting way that the way our peoples
Speaker 3: look different now than they did before. Our peoples are peoples.
Speaker 3: We're a land of many people and a chance for
Speaker 3: you to want a thousand bucks coming up.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: There is a changing migration pattern when it comes to
Speaker 1: California and our demographics. For two decades, more Asians have
Speaker 1: come to California than Latin Americans, which has reshaped the
Speaker 1: immigrant experience in California. Not just the immigrant experience, I
Speaker 1: would argue LA times in the workforce California data showing
Speaker 1: more highlight skilled immigrants coming from Asia, fewer lower skilled
Speaker 1: workers coming from Latin America. In Silicon Valley, they say
Speaker 1: forty two percent of Santa Clara County residents are now immigrants,
Speaker 1: most from China and India, to be expected when you
Speaker 1: think about what goes on in Silicon Valley. Right by contrast,
Speaker 1: La County is about one third immigrant, with most coming
Speaker 1: from Latin America.
Speaker 3: Still that changed, they said in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3: That was when everything changed, because thirty five years ago
Speaker 3: or so nineteen ninety only thirty two percent of immigrants
Speaker 3: to California came from Asia, more than half, fifty six
Speaker 3: percent came from Latin America. And then in two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven they said the majority of people still living
Speaker 3: in the state are still from Latin America, but on
Speaker 3: the annual basis, the flow of people coming across the
Speaker 3: border includes a greater percentage from Asia now. So in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, forty six percent of California immigrants came
Speaker 3: from Asia, thirty eight percent came from Latin America. It's fun.
Speaker 3: I mean, you mentioned Silicon Valley being now having a
Speaker 3: much higher percentage of Asian immigrants than say La County.
Speaker 3: That's that's now becoming sort of or compounding the story
Speaker 3: of two different states, two different versions of what California
Speaker 3: is and looks like.
Speaker 1: They say much of the influx was a result of
Speaker 1: the H one B visa program, which brought nearly seventy
Speaker 1: nine thousand skilled workers to California last year. Most of
Speaker 1: them were sponsored by tech companies Google, Meta Apple, which
Speaker 1: makes sense. Most of these went to Indian and Chinese citizens.
Speaker 3: Seventy three percent of them went to Indian people, twelve
Speaker 3: percent to Chinese residents. I wonder if because of our
Speaker 3: well boy nonic war against China right now, if those ah,
Speaker 3: if those H one B visas shrink even more.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting that.
Speaker 3: They're not going to want. I mean, there's thousands and
Speaker 3: thousands and thousands of Chinese people, Chinese citizens living within
Speaker 3: the United States for school, for work, and that sort
Speaker 3: of thing. But I wonder if that takes a big
Speaker 3: hit just with the immigration policies that the Trump administration
Speaker 3: has been pushing. About fifteen percent of Asian Americans in
Speaker 3: California are estimated to be undocumented. That's according to Connie
Speaker 3: Chung Joe. She's the chief executive of Asian Americans Advancing
Speaker 3: Justice Southern California. Whatever that means.
Speaker 1: You know, when you buy a house, you learn this,
Speaker 1: don't you. You get a lot of all cash offers
Speaker 1: coming in from.
Speaker 3: People oh yeah, from the oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Asian countries and pricing out people. And it's gonna be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how that progresses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how.
Speaker 1: The how the they're calling it the Trump wild card,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I mean, his policies don't change
Speaker 1: the way tech companies look at bringing in workers from
Speaker 1: India and China who just in their spare time.
Speaker 2: Part of their perfect day is coding.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's how they relax, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: we're we're over there playing uh, you know, Whack a mole,
Speaker 1: candy crush or candy crush.
Speaker 2: They they they're extracurriculars.
Speaker 1: Are the kind of things that big tech companies are
Speaker 1: looking for to pay you six figures.
Speaker 3: One of the rules that we have said in this
Speaker 3: show is that breasts are often like pizza.
Speaker 2: Breasts are often like pizza.
Speaker 3: But we've found an exception to the rule.
Speaker 1: Which I don't know the rule. I don't know the
Speaker 1: more I think about it, because I guess it's just
Speaker 1: most pizza. Like I've had some bad pizza before, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Okay, I haven't seen a lot
Speaker 1: of breasts. I mean, I've seen a lot of breasts,
Speaker 1: but I've never seen breasts and been like, oh that
Speaker 1: those are bad breasts. I've had pizza where I'm like, eh,
Speaker 1: but I haven't seen that many. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know how many breast would you say you've seen.
Speaker 3: In my life?
Speaker 1: Goodness, that's totally irrelevant to the conversation. But I apologize.
Speaker 1: I've read a lot of pizza, right, what percentage of
Speaker 1: the pizza would you say you've eaten as bad?
Speaker 3: Four?
Speaker 2: Four percent?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Do you think the same goes for boobs?
Speaker 3: Just about that? Yeah? Single digits low, single digit okay, yeah, all.
Speaker 2: Right, so then we'll stick with our U. We'll stick
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi
Speaker 4: AM six.
Speaker 1: Forty Gosh, black Hole Son. You couldn't get away from
Speaker 1: that video. They played that video three other video for
Speaker 1: like a year and a half.
Speaker 3: Kids. There used to be a show, it's whole TV
Speaker 3: channel as a matter of fact, where they would play
Speaker 3: the video versions of songs oh my Crazy and.
Speaker 2: It was such a downer video.
Speaker 1: It was like the weather today, it's not that bad,
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty live everywhere on
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: We just came up with a fun game, a fun okay.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. We do a podcast for the weekend.
Speaker 1: It's called the Weekend Fix, right, the Weekend Fix, and
Speaker 1: we last weekend put together podcast for you, and it
Speaker 1: was basically our origin story but we're not superheroes, but
Speaker 1: it was how Gary and I kind of got to
Speaker 1: be together and how we kind of followed the same
Speaker 1: path through life, and we talked about that. We said
Speaker 1: a lot of bad words. I think there was an
Speaker 1: F and S and MF for a C. There was
Speaker 1: a lot. And that was before we even really started
Speaker 1: the topic. You were just letting it all out.
Speaker 2: I was not the only one that swore anyway.
Speaker 1: So we did that last week, So if you haven't
Speaker 1: checked it out, go grab the podcast.
Speaker 2: It's called The Weekend Fixed.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Now, the fun idea was, since we did that, we
Speaker 1: were kind of talking about, well, what should we do
Speaker 1: this week? What do you think we should do? What
Speaker 1: topic should we do? Let us know on the talkback feature.
Speaker 1: Just hit that little microphone on the iHeart app there,
Speaker 1: if you're listening on the iHeart app, the little microphone thing,
Speaker 1: and you hit that talk back feature and let us
Speaker 1: know what kind of topic you'd like us to tackle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean maybe as an example, I mean that
Speaker 3: whole stuff about us being geographically adjacent for so long
Speaker 3: before we even started this show. Is there any is
Speaker 3: there something else that we've talked about that maybe people
Speaker 3: don't know the backstory too, or something like that that
Speaker 3: we could get into and we'll post that up for Saturday.
Speaker 3: And again if you are if you follow and subscribe
Speaker 3: to the podcast, you'll be able to get that first
Speaker 3: thing Saturday morning when it posts. But you got to
Speaker 3: make sure that you subscribe to the podcast in order
Speaker 3: to get the extra stuff. All right.
Speaker 2: So we talked about this case before.
Speaker 1: It is the case of a now former LA police
Speaker 1: officer who happened to touch a dead woman's breast while
Speaker 1: on duty as part of an investigation into her death.
Speaker 1: His name is David Rojas, and now the criminal case
Speaker 1: has been dismissed. He has complied with everything they've asked
Speaker 1: of him. According to the judge, he successfully completed an
Speaker 1: eighteen month judicial diversion program. What kind of diversion program
Speaker 1: exists for a guy who gets handsy with a corpse. Furthermore,
Speaker 1: maybe it's because I've listened to handle for twenty years.
Speaker 1: Where's the harm in this? And I think this was
Speaker 1: my takeaway the first time around. In fact, I'd be
Speaker 1: flattered if I died and the investigating officer.
Speaker 2: Touched one, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I mean, those have got to be some good boobs
Speaker 1: to be touched worthy in death?
Speaker 3: Not right?
Speaker 2: I suppose you'd be a little flattered.
Speaker 3: His story is that he turned on his body worn camera.
Speaker 3: He used a flashlight to shed light on this body
Speaker 3: that was found in a darkened bedroom. He touched the
Speaker 3: woman's breast twice, white right breast twice with his gloved
Speaker 3: hand after he noticed a mark that he couldn't identify,
Speaker 3: and he said he knew he was being recorded because
Speaker 3: the body cam was on. He denied being aroused at
Speaker 3: the time or trying to humiliate or degrade the body
Speaker 3: the woman, and through his own attorney, the officer denied
Speaker 3: becoming any sort of sexually attracted to the woman when
Speaker 3: he saw her corpse. In under cross examination, he said,
Speaker 3: I went straight to the section where I see the marking,
Speaker 3: explaining that he squeezed or pinched the area to see
Speaker 3: if anything would gush out because he had no idea
Speaker 3: what it was. What is going on?
Speaker 2: How do you lose your job over this?
Speaker 1: You're the the officer that shows up dead body. There's
Speaker 1: marks in the body you investigate, happens to be on
Speaker 1: our breast.
Speaker 2: What's the deal?
Speaker 3: Well, I would argue, on the one hand, an officer
Speaker 3: shouldn't be touching the body that's the job of detectives
Speaker 3: and or coroner's office officials. I mean this is after
Speaker 3: the paramedics had come, they declared the woman dead and
Speaker 3: threw the sheet over the body. He took it back
Speaker 3: and was looking there. He did testify he was taught
Speaker 3: that touch the nipple. I think that's the problem. He
Speaker 3: touched the bread and then touch the nipple, one of
Speaker 3: the detectives said.
Speaker 1: He said there was no need for that. He said
Speaker 1: that she was already ruled dead. There was no reason
Speaker 1: to physically examine, let alone the nipple.
Speaker 3: They did say that he was found eligible for a
Speaker 3: diversion program, and again I don't know exactly what that
Speaker 3: would look like. Attorneys representing the woman's family members filed
Speaker 3: court papers that in formed of judge of a conditional resolution.
Speaker 1: Does this happen enough to where there's a diversion program
Speaker 1: about not touching dead people or not touching genitals or breasts?
Speaker 3: And I don't know what is it? Do they just
Speaker 3: show you something and then.
Speaker 1: I've never done voiceover work. Debora has done a lot
Speaker 1: of voiceover work. She's a successful voiceover artist. But I
Speaker 1: would really like to voice a diversion program about not
Speaker 1: touching the breasts of dead people.
Speaker 3: For those videos that show up in art that we
Speaker 3: have to do our.
Speaker 2: Trading pro love do one of those.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it just be something that would be fun. If
Speaker 3: you see breast, don't touch.
Speaker 1: It unless it's yours. Like, if you like, you can
Speaker 1: touch your wife's breasts. Right, Sometimes sometimes you're right, that's true,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 3: Just walk up. I mean I sometimes right.
Speaker 1: Usually consents probably a good idea for all of it.
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you're married, If you're married, what
Speaker 1: if you fill out paperwork to have access to the breasts.
Speaker 3: That's not what it said on the paperwork I filled out.
Speaker 2: Do you read it? You read that paperwork?
Speaker 3: Yeah, for real, it's just And I don't think it
Speaker 3: said anything about that.
Speaker 2: No, of course it didn't.
Speaker 3: Right, of course it didn't say anything about that.
Speaker 2: Say something about breasts.
Speaker 3: Guys. Another reason to go to Coachella is to get
Speaker 3: ripped off while you're at Coachella. And I'm not just
Speaker 3: talking about the food.
Speaker 1: Gary Channon will call, well, there's a lot of money
Speaker 1: on people that go to Coachella and they're done with it.
Speaker 3: Did you know? Did you know? Just you tell many people?
Speaker 3: How many people financed their tickets. To know what that's
Speaker 3: you know what? Let them finance.
Speaker 2: Let them.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that number. Would we come by.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Former President Biden said to speak today, Oh really, as
Speaker 1: his first public appearance is leaving the presidency. I will
Speaker 1: be speaking at a conference tonight in Chicago. He's one
Speaker 1: of the keynote speakers at You want to Guess?
Speaker 2: I have no idea the Advocates.
Speaker 1: Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled Conference.
Speaker 3: Edison. That is an interesting place for him to be
Speaker 3: a watch it.
Speaker 1: It's his first visit to Chicago since we saw him
Speaker 1: at the DNC AM.
Speaker 2: I gonna watch it, are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm going to leave a mandatory meeting we have to
Speaker 1: go through, which is basically Guantanamo Bay for myself for
Speaker 1: a couple hours, and then go home and watch Joe
Speaker 1: Biden at the Disabled Conference, and then just ended all my.
Speaker 3: Periation in Pianna.
Speaker 1: Driving from Orange County up to Sequoia today on the
Speaker 1: road trip with my kids and.
Speaker 4: Had a feeling it was going to be a good idea.
Speaker 1: To plug them into the iPad with their headphones so
Speaker 1: that I could listen to you guys, And sure enough
Speaker 1: we're talking about people and genitalia and nipples. So yeah,
Speaker 1: reparenting people my heart because I get to keep listening
Speaker 1: and they're fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are fine.
Speaker 2: We're shielding the children from this show now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, nipples are apart part of science, right. Shouldn't
Speaker 1: the kids know about nipples?
Speaker 3: They probably know about.
Speaker 2: Them, right, it's just an anatomy.
Speaker 3: They just don't often talk about them, right or hear
Speaker 3: about them. Right.
Speaker 1: There's we could get into far worse stuff than just nipples.
Speaker 5: It's also hey, Gary Shannon, Hey, bet your butt, I'm
Speaker 5: going to subscribe to that Weekend Fix.
Speaker 3: Thank here's an idea.
Speaker 5: How about misadventures and everyday life? Share stories of the
Speaker 5: odd and unexpected moments that happen in day to day routines.
Speaker 1: Just the thought misadventures every day life? I will keep
Speaker 1: all right, I like it. Misadventures We kind of did that,
Speaker 1: you know, with yoga and taxes. Those were some misadventures
Speaker 1: everyday life.
Speaker 3: Also, let us know what you would like to hear
Speaker 3: on our Weekend Fix. You can leave us a talk
Speaker 3: back message when you're on the app. Just hit that
Speaker 3: little microphone button and it will, in fact send us
Speaker 3: a quick message, bless you. AH took it away from you.
Speaker 3: I took your power.
Speaker 1: You can't take my power without my consent, which means
Speaker 1: I consented to give you the sneeze.
Speaker 3: Yes means yes, yes, yes. Billboard Magazine. Billboard Magazine, the
Speaker 3: music industry magazine, says about sixty percent of people who
Speaker 3: went to Coachella this last weekend, sixty percent financed their
Speaker 3: tickets to go to Coachella because it's a couple hundred bucks,
Speaker 3: you know, six hundred and fifty bucks or something like
Speaker 3: that for the first weekend and probably six hundred for
Speaker 3: the second weekend.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, if when I was twenty four, I'm
Speaker 1: putting twenty four at the age i'd go to Coachella, okay,
Speaker 1: because twenty two there was no way I had a
Speaker 1: credit card to finance the trip to Coachella, right, So
Speaker 1: for me, it would have been twenty.
Speaker 3: Four where I had.
Speaker 1: Le their credit card that was worth about one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars where I could charge a trip to Coachella.
Speaker 3: You had a limit on it, a fIF a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Probably, yeah, probably, the which was huge to me that
Speaker 1: point in time, and so I can see doing that
Speaker 1: because you, when you're twenty four, you don't have six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars lying around. It's just you just don't. Most
Speaker 1: a lot many twenty four year olds do not. I
Speaker 1: did not. I did not just have six hundred dollars
Speaker 1: to spend on or otherwise, to spend on fun or otherwise.
Speaker 1: I just did not have any sort of savings whatsoever.
Speaker 1: So I would totally charge the whole thing. And I
Speaker 1: guess I don't know what the average age of Coachella is,
Speaker 1: but I would imagine it's, you know, mid twenty something
Speaker 1: like that. I could be wrong, because I know old
Speaker 1: people that go, and that makes.
Speaker 3: Me sad Coachella.
Speaker 1: Weren't we just talking to someone recently who said that
Speaker 1: they were doing ayahuasca or whatever at Coachella and looking
Speaker 1: at the stars.
Speaker 3: No, No, that was burning man. Okay.
Speaker 1: Anyway, all of those stories make me very sad. When
Speaker 1: someone reaches a certain age and they're going to this stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get sad. There's also I shouldn't judge, and I'm not. No,
Speaker 1: I just feel like I.
Speaker 3: Aged out of it when you were about thirty two.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'd have a really bad trip if
Speaker 1: I went to Coachella and I was fifty five and
Speaker 1: I went to Coachella and I took a whocyinogenic and
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there with like you and your wife were
Speaker 1: sitting there, and all of a sudden, it hits me,
Speaker 1: I am fifty five and I'm with a bunch of
Speaker 1: twenty five year olds, and what am I doing?
Speaker 3: It is very cliche. That's why you took the drugs
Speaker 3: in the first place, is to fight off that feeling.
Speaker 2: Is that what it is? Is that why I took
Speaker 2: the drugs.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I thought I took the drugs just to feel something again.
Speaker 3: I feel on the weekend and while everything was going on,
Speaker 3: I would have gone to one of the great casinos
Speaker 3: that's out there. Yeah, I mean, talk about a great
Speaker 3: weekend to hit the casinos. Because everybody else is at
Speaker 3: the concert, there's no dirt. There's also an issue with
Speaker 3: people who stayed in hotels. There was one very specific
Speaker 3: Lakita Resort and Club, the pretty high end property there.
Speaker 3: People paid some good money to get their rooms. Several
Speaker 3: groups of guests found their rooms meticulously ransacked when they
Speaker 3: got back to the hotel Friday. They said that the thieves,
Speaker 3: whoever they were, ignored the easily traceable items like a
Speaker 3: laptop or a phone or everyone's gonna have their phone
Speaker 3: with them, but they took designer handbags, sunglasses, perfume clothing.
Speaker 3: James King is a forty year old trumpet player in
Speaker 3: the band behind Bruno Mars. Ellie Brownridge a thirty one
Speaker 3: year old high school teacher. They came to the festival
Speaker 3: from Vegas and they got back to their hotel, showed
Speaker 3: no signs of forced entry, and didn't realize they'd been
Speaker 3: burgled until their friends in the adjoining room banged on
Speaker 3: the door that said that they had been robbed as well.
Speaker 3: They said, we were tired. We didn't see anything that
Speaker 3: was a miss or abnormally placed, but for others, they said,
Speaker 3: somewhere between three groups of people who had items stolen
Speaker 3: that she was aware of, they had lost at least
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff.
Speaker 1: Don't bring one hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff. I
Speaker 1: guess they mean like clothes and stuff too.
Speaker 3: Close, handbags and things like that, but I that's a
Speaker 3: And then when the cops show up. The cops are like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're the fifth person whose room has been burgled. And
Speaker 3: at this point they said there were two laptops in
Speaker 3: a phone in one of the rooms that was not
Speaker 3: taken a guard. A security guard mentioned to them that
Speaker 3: there was a misplaced housekeeping key that might have been used,
Speaker 3: hence the no signs of forced entry. So swamp pat.
Speaker 1: This is why, between the two of us, we spent
Speaker 1: about seventy seven dollars on our outfits.
Speaker 3: So that nobody feels like they should steal it. Love us,
Speaker 3: they leave, they leave clothes for us. Stuff. You miss
