WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.119 on the iHeartRadio app. There are some parts of Hollywood 4 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.480 that are run down. They almost seem to be like 5 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:17.399 baby ghost towns. Some areas this small stretch of Sunset 6 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.120 Boulevard among them. This is an area of Sunset between 7 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:28.760 Las Palmas and Highland where several dilapidated properties sit, including 8 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.840 the former La Weekly office. This is all part of 9 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.039 a proposed development that is going to try to reshape 10 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.320 the area. One of the odd crumbling structures there in 11 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:47.560 that vicinity is on a massive lot with old bungalows 12 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.359 and motel rooms. It's called the Hollywood Center Motel. It 13 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.200 looks creepy to begin with. Yeah, it's got this great 14 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.560 sign out in front. I mean, except the fact that 15 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.679 it's missing one of the l's in Holly. But it's 16 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.079 got a great sign out in front that says Hollywood 17 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.480 Center Motel. And it's sort of a I don't know 18 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.280 what'd you call it, an art deco sign our deco 19 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.439 with an arrow pointing down like the Beetlejuice sign all that. 20 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.439 I mean, it's just a it's a cool looking place, 21 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.719 and you can see clearly this would be something that 22 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.040 they would if you're making a movie about late forties 23 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.159 fifties Hollywood, this would be a place that you would 24 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.680 refurbish and bring back to its full potential. 25 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.719 It has played host to a slew of film and 26 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:37.879 TV productions, including La Confidential, Confidential, The Rockford Files, a 27 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.120 nineteen seventy two Pam Greer film hit Man. But now 28 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.000 they say it looks like it's only suitable for horror films. 29 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.920 The Victorian house that you mentioned it was really the 30 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:55.400 first building on this entire lot. Way back in the 31 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.200 early nineteen hundreds, very well to do couple William and 32 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.719 Sarah Avery lived there. They called it the They called 33 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.480 it El Nido. Changed hands a few times in the twenties. 34 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.039 A couple of the new owners commissioned a build her 35 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.680 to put up a bunch of bungalows on the property 36 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:16.840 in an old English design. The owners kept expanding the property. 37 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.639 They were renting out the bungalows to I mean this again, 38 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.919 center of Hollywood. So you got a bunch of movie 39 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.120 extras and people in town trying to make it, and 40 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.840 this is where they would stay so they owners eventually die, 41 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:32.319 their daughter takes over and they sell it at auction. 42 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.439 She sells it at auction back in nineteen fifty four. 43 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.560 But what happens at hotels like this, well, tragedy befalls them. 44 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.080 It has to right. Hotels that are around for a 45 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.400 certain amount of years, it's only a matter of time 46 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.319 until they become infamous for one thing or another. And 47 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.520 in nineteen sixty three a crime made the papers when 48 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.639 a young, well dressed bandit held up the manager, Dorothea Meryll, 49 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.919 at gunpoint, turn into bed and stole one hundred and 50 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:07.879 eighty dollars from the hotel. Till later on in the sixties, 51 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.960 remember Buffalo Springfield, they were just an upstart at the time. 52 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.280 They all took up residence at one of the double 53 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:19.240 story houses located at the Hollywood Center Motel. They loved 54 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.479 the cheap rights, they loved the proximity to the music scene. 55 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.840 Neil Young and Crazy Horse supposedly stayed there not because 56 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.000 it was great, but literally because they were looking for 57 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.439 the sleaziest motel on sunset that they could find, and 58 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:36.800 this is the one that fit the bill. 59 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.639 In the eighties, it became infamous yet again, when it 60 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.319 became a footnote in the Wild Billionaire Boys Club saga. 61 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.199 This was a case It centered around a Freddy La 62 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.280 investment club turned Ponzi scheme that saw the founder of 63 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.919 the club convicted of murdering one of the investors. During 64 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.639 the trial, that guy's best friend described to the La Times. 65 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.719 Described by the La Times as the prosecutions our witness 66 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.000 was connected to another murder of a guy in his 67 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.039 early twenties whose body was found inside the trunk of 68 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.080 one of the motel's rooms in the fall of eighty six. 69 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.400 It is funny. 70 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.839 There are a few There are a few Yelp reviews 71 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.720 of this place that are up right now.

But the first born, I 190 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.240 think it must be the first born, so because they 191 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.519 came out like what one hatched and then the other 192 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.200 hatch the next day. The bigger one I call him 193 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.279 brutus because he is vicious with the other ones and 194 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:26.960 he pecks them. 195 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.799 How do you know it's not a female. It's she 196 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.679 is vicious and she pecks them. I don't know what 197 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:32.039 it is. 198 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.000 They refer to them as refer to that as bonking it. 199 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.720 You should come up with a different word it. 200 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.399 What's really mean because that when they do that, it's 201 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.960 like they bite the other one's head and the other 202 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.200 one just collapses, and it's to establish pecking order. 203 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:47.879 But it's it's. 204 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.159 Kind of heartbreaking to watch. But they're all fine and 205 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.639 everybody's getting food. I watched him yesterday. 206 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.720 Did you know about the broad patch? The brood patch? 207 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.600 The brood patch is a patch of featherless skin low 208 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.399 on the abdomen that both Jackie and Shadow develop. A 209 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.279 brood patch is supplied with blood vessels aiding in heat transfer. 210 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.600 It's a heating blanket. That must be nice to have 211 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:17.000 red blood cells. You have some, Yeah, couple a couple. 212 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.720 So what time of day do they eat? Like when 213 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.320 does the carcass get brought to the nest and the 214 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:27.639 innerds get plucked or pecked? And when does that happen? 215 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.279 They eat kind of all they There was one day 216 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.399 I was watching on the chat because they've got people 217 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.320 who actually know stuff about these guys. 218 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.879 People, do you know more than you know? More than 219 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.320 the people I talk to? It? Friends of Big Bear? Oh, 220 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:39.720 come on? 221 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.960 So anyway, they said that they fit like eleven times 222 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:43.600 two days. 223 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.320 Eleven time. 224 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.919 Yeah, and so if you watch for an extent, like 225 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:48.639 if you watch for an hour you're probably going to 226 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.960 see a feeding because they do it pretty regularly, except 227 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.120 they're not going to probably today because of the storm. 228 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.519 Several small meals are better for your metabolism. There go. 229 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.799 You don't want to have fat eagles. That's not true. 230 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.679 Is that just what you tell yourself when you plow 231 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.759 all that food into your mo?

He is he weighed just sixty eight pounds. 271 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:19.200 Prosecutors call the situation something out of a horror movie. 272 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.360 We're trying to kind of keep an eye on what's 273 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.000 going on in the latest between Ukraine and Russia. We 274 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:30.639 know that American envoy, American Envoy Steve Witkoff, is supposed 275 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.440 to be meeting with President Putin of Russia to bring 276 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.559 to him the thirty day ceasefire idea that was worked 277 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.440 out between the United States and Ukraine. And right now 278 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.879 President Trump is meeting with the Secretary General of NATO 279 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:49.440 as we're getting word that Putin has agreed in principle 280 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.639 to the thirty day ceasefire, but with some conditions. So 281 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.720 when we get to Swamp Watch, we'll talk more about that. 282 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.919 PSA, have you gotten the toll road texts? 283 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.120 Did my daughter got one identical. 284 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.799 To my husband got him?

A lot of people 291 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.039 do take toll roads, so you think it's legit, it's not. 292 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.639 The FBI received more than two thousand complaints just this 293 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:33.679 month alone. The texts impersonate state road toll collection agencies. 294 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.159 They try to get you to reveal your financial information, credit, 295 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.679 debit card, bank account, things like that.

Well, it 336 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:43.480 may be that wellness malls pick up where the Malls 337 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.079 of our Youth left off. 338 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.279 It's an interesting look at the way that commercial real 339 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.279 estate works right now, with so many stores that over 340 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.319 the last ten years or so. I mean, you can 341 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.400 you can imagine wherever you live in southern California, you 342 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:04.519 can imagine in a strip mall or even a normal 343 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:09.160 what you would consider shopping mall that has lost twenty 344 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:15.640 five percent, thirty fifty percent of its tenants and nothing 345 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.799 has come to replace it. 346 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.240 Or it's those stores that are. 347 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.880 Like the I don't want to get anybody in trouble, 348 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:29.200 but the cheap asss the worst quality products and they 349 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.279 sell a million different things, and they're all plastic and 350 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.960 they're all microplastics and they're just awful products. 351 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.319 Oh, there used to be different grades of shopping malls. 352 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.519 You know, you'd have like the Nordstrom, Bloomy's, you know, 353 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.519 like South Coast Plaza, and then you get into you know, 354 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.079 the Garden Grove mall or whatever. I'm not putting any 355 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.200 malls down, and I'm making some of this up, but 356 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.119 you know what I mean.

Right, you know, 361 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.119 they're all the same product, it's just different labels. 362 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.160 There is Corda Madera where you were judged like Julia 363 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.960 Roberts and Pretty Woman, and then there was Northgate where 364 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.279 you could go and you could go to Missus Fields 365 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:19.319 and Mervin's. You felt comfortable smoke. Did you did, anyway? 366 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:25.000 So they're calling the new iteration of malls the wellness 367 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:31.920 tenants or medtail businesses like medical retail and so dentists. 368 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:34.119 You had to bring it up again. 369 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.920 I'm sorry, but it's right here. Dentists are are in demand. 370 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.000 I have seen more Dennis and Strip malls lately than 371 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:46.839 I ever have, which makes it kind of almost gives 372 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.279 me a vibe of user friendly, Like going to the 373 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:51.799 dentist isn't a big production if it's right next to 374 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.480 the trader. 375 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:55.640 Joe's right the dentist I go to. There's a there's 376 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.920 a breakfast restaurant right next to it. There's a gym 377 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.359 that's a corner exactly. It's not a medical office building. 378 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.319 So that's kind of nice. You just pop in, you 379 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.440 get your teeth clean, you pop out, it's not the 380 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.400 excavation that I went through at my root canal. 381 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:17.440 PDS is a nationwide company, PDS Health, and it recruits 382 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.039 young dentists out of dental schools and sets them up 383 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.079 in some of the storefront locations around the country. Patients 384 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:28.279 are often walk ins things like toothaches. Maybe they're neighbors. 385 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:30.160 They want a dentist that's closer to home, and they 386 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:31.319 just simply walk in. 387 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.839 You know. I used to think of dentists like pilots, 388 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.880 like I want the old ones. I like the old 389 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:38.160 I like the old Vietnam era pilots. I like my 390 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.920 dentists old. And then I had my first young dentist. 391 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.440 And she's spectacular. She's younger than me, and she's wonderful, 392 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:47.240 and I mean this was like fifteen years ago. She 393 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.440 was younger than me and I and she's she's perfect. 394 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.400 She's wonderful, and she knows all the things, and she 395 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.160 knows all the new things, and she's quick and wonderful. 396 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.200 Smaller hands to very much. 397 00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.960 So yeah, very tiny little fingers. 398 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.599 It's not some guy who worked his way through dental 399 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.119 school at a steel mill. 400 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:11.119 Packing guy, right, good point, all right.
