Speaker 1: On every core you see the contributions of immigrants from

Speaker 8: The county also reaffirmed its prohibition of working with federal
Speaker 8: immigration enforcement unless a warrant requires it.
Speaker 5: Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: Three people in northern California who recently graduated from Piedmont
Speaker 1: High School have been killed in a fiery crash involving
Speaker 1: a Tesla's cyber truck.
Speaker 6: It's safe to say that speed.
Speaker 5: Was a factor.
Speaker 1: Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers's four people were in the
Speaker 1: truck early yesterday morning when it crashed into a tree
Speaker 1: and burst into flames. He says nine to one one
Speaker 1: was alerted by an iPhone inside the vehicle.
Speaker 6: Officers arrived on scene to find a single vehicle collision
Speaker 6: fully engulfed in flames. Responding officers also observed an uninvolved
Speaker 6: party pulling one of the occupants from.
Speaker 1: The vehicle that person is in critical condition. The chief says.
Speaker 1: Officers grabbed their fire extinguishers, but the flames were just
Speaker 1: too intense. Firefighters arrived and put out the fire five
Speaker 1: seven on your Thanksgiving morning wake up call, Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: So you may remember that Neil Savader and I went
Speaker 1: over the edge for the Union Rescue Mission to raise
Speaker 1: money to fight homelessness in LA And the Union Rescue
Speaker 1: Mission just doesn't throw money at the problem. They actually
Speaker 1: bring people in and help them heal, get them back
Speaker 1: into housing, back into society. And we got a chance
Speaker 1: to talk to one of these people who went through
Speaker 1: their program, Jody Cobb, and I thought that this Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: was a great time to share her story because she's
Speaker 1: got a lot to be thankful for thanks to the
Speaker 1: Union Rescue Mission. Good morning, Jody, Oh are you doing great?
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for getting up early with us this morning. So, Jody,
Speaker 1: what we wanted to do was we wanted to share
Speaker 1: your story because you're one of the people who Union
Speaker 1: Rescue Mission helped so and I know it's hard to
Speaker 1: break down and cut your whole life down into just
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, but please tell us, first of all,
Speaker 1: how you became homeless, what led to it, and then
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the success story part.
Speaker 10: You know, I was I was in Los Angeles and
Speaker 10: I was working at the LAX and due to a
Speaker 10: domestic violence situation, I ended up at the u r M. Devastated,
Speaker 10: didn't know what to do, and that's where, you know,
Speaker 10: God led me was to the u r M and
Speaker 10: I just went there and received the help that they
Speaker 10: were there to offer me. As COVID came, it took
Speaker 10: away my job and I uh started volunteering at the
Speaker 10: u r M, which led me to become apprentice there
Speaker 10: and I even did their Damascus Recovery program from the
Speaker 10: years of drug abuse and alcoholism. I did everything for
Speaker 10: a program that I was supposed to do to get
Speaker 10: healed from the drugs and alcohol, but I never really
Speaker 10: took the time to get my inside healed, which was
Speaker 10: my heart. So I let their Damascus Recovery program do
Speaker 10: that for me. With the people there and the support
Speaker 10: that they have, they healed. They helped me get healed
Speaker 10: from the trauma and abuse that I was through and
Speaker 10: then it eventually actually got me to a position now
Speaker 10: where I work at the u RM as a staff member.
Speaker 1: I love that and Jody, you had a pretty long
Speaker 1: road down. Like you mentioned abuse and you mentioned drugs,
Speaker 1: and like I said, it's so hard to reduce your
Speaker 1: experience down to just a couple of minutes. But this
Speaker 1: was something that was took years. Like you were you mentioned,
Speaker 1: I watched a beautiful video and heartbreaking video that you
Speaker 1: did about you know that you had abuse in your
Speaker 1: married life, You had abuse when you were younger, and
Speaker 1: that led to drugs and doing drugs in front of
Speaker 1: your children, and you just had to have hit this
Speaker 1: low point. What was what was the spark? Was there
Speaker 1: a moment that you said enough I want him?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yes, that was actually was going on almost twelve years ago.
Speaker 10: I'll never forget the day. It was June to twenty ninth,
Speaker 10: two thoy and thirteen. I hit the rock bottom. And
Speaker 10: what did it for me is continuous. I came from
Speaker 10: South Carolina, so from that state, they have a really
Speaker 10: strict policy when you're in drugs and alcohol, they put
Speaker 10: you in treatment centers, whether it's court ordered, doctor ordered.
Speaker 10: For me, it was jail too. I was starting to
Speaker 10: see a lot of jail time. My jail time was
Speaker 10: going up from three days, six days, nine days, twelve days,
Speaker 10: and I just I just couldn't survive in jail. That
Speaker 10: wasn't something that I knew I was supposed to be doing,
Speaker 10: is going to jail, living my life in jail. And
Speaker 10: one day I just couldn't do it anymore. I heard
Speaker 10: the Lord talk to me and say, you know what
Speaker 10: you need to f and this is where I'm going
Speaker 10: to lead you. All you got to do is the
Speaker 10: answer to call. And I did that, and I got
Speaker 10: on a train and I went to New York and
Speaker 10: eventually New York it led me to California to where
Speaker 10: I was starting to get my help. And it was
Speaker 10: it was basically jail that did it for me. I
Speaker 10: just couldn't live like that no more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so the Union Rescue Mission helped you. Not
Speaker 1: like you said, you not only heal your body, but
Speaker 1: also heal your heart. And how do you feel now?
Speaker 10: I feel amazing? And I actually call you r M.
Speaker 10: They're actually my family. They're they're they're the family that
Speaker 10: I've never had. They're just awesome in support. I see
Speaker 10: people now coming in. I'm actually the person that gets
Speaker 10: to give back, you know. And and that's the blessing
Speaker 10: that I get to reap out of this is one
Speaker 10: Once upon a time that was me and now I'm
Speaker 10: on the other side and giving back to the people
Speaker 10: that are coming in actually a program. I'm assistant at
Speaker 10: the URM with the Damascus Recovery Ladies, so I do
Speaker 10: the intakes, whether they're coming in from drugs, alcohol, mental, homelessness, broken.
Speaker 10: I get to be that frontliner now on that part
Speaker 10: and getting to help the ladies come into the shelter
Speaker 10: and make sure that they understand that when you enter
Speaker 10: in the doors at the URM, not nobody's brought there
Speaker 10: by a mistake or an accident. Everybody has a purpose.
Speaker 10: And if they just come in and just let us
Speaker 10: love on them and give them the support that they need,
Speaker 10: there's a success story. And everyone that comes there and
Speaker 10: so grateful for the donors and what they do and
Speaker 10: feed into this because if they didn't, we couldn't do
Speaker 10: what we do. We don't run on grants, we run
Speaker 10: on donations only, So that's the beauty of that. Because
Speaker 10: we're a sober, free living shelter, we're indifferent than all
Speaker 10: the other places when they come in if they have
Speaker 10: addiction problems. We don't turn anybody away. We're there to
Speaker 10: help and accept each and every one of them as
Speaker 10: they come through the door.
Speaker 1: Well, Jody, thank you so much for sharing your story
Speaker 1: because I think it helps personalize how people can actually
Speaker 1: help the Union Rescue Mission so we can help people
Speaker 1: like Jody get their lives back on track. And then,
Speaker 1: as Jody said, pay it forward, which is the most
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Jody Cobb, thank you so much for coming
Speaker 1: on this morning. We appreciate it. If you'd like to
Speaker 1: help people like Jody get a new shot at a
Speaker 1: good life. Union Rescue Mission is actually helping homeless people.
Speaker 1: As we were talking about. They get no federal funding
Speaker 1: because they don't allow drugs or alcohol in their shelters
Speaker 1: or traditional house or transitional housing programs. And if you
Speaker 1: want to help, we have an address for you. You arem
Speaker 1: dot org. And any gift you give now between now
Speaker 1: and New Year's Eve is going to be doubled because
Speaker 1: they have a matching grant. Awesome. And then I was
Speaker 1: just looking on their website. They've got a twelve Days
Speaker 1: of Christmas online auction to celebrate Giving Tuesday. So there's
Speaker 1: this a sailing and wine Tasting it venture. There's an
Speaker 1: African Safari for four. There's Lakers tickets, there's an auction
Speaker 1: item where you can attend a taping of Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 1: All kinds of good stuff. Again, it's RM dot Org.
Speaker 1: Very thankful for the Union rescue mission. Let's get back
Speaker 1: to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom. An older man, believed to be
Speaker 1: a member of the wealthy Rothschild banking family has been
Speaker 1: killed in a fire in a two story house in
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Hills. LA Fire says the fire broke out
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon around four thirty on Lookout Mountain Avenue. It
Speaker 1: took about forty five minutes to get the fire out.
Speaker 1: The person died at the scene. The cause of the
Speaker 1: fires being investigated. News brought to you by one eight hundred.
Speaker 1: Got junk rap mogul. Sean Combs is staying in jail
Speaker 1: in New York. Andrea ABC's Andrea FUJII says a judge
Speaker 1: has again denied bail for Combs.
Speaker 11: The judge saying it's too risky to release Combs, citing,
Speaker 11: among other things, video obtained by CNN showing him attacking
Speaker 11: his then girlfriend, Cassie Ventura in a Hotel Hallway. The
Speaker 11: defense claims the video was doctor.
Speaker 1: The judge ruled even the version submitted by Comb's team
Speaker 1: shows undeniable violence. Combs is facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking,
Speaker 1: and prostitution. California's Attorney General has issued warnings for shoppers, retailers,
Speaker 1: and criminals.
Speaker 12: Gift cards are easy to buy, but they're also easy
Speaker 12: prey for thieves. It's called gift card draining. This happens
Speaker 12: when a crook has already opened that gift card at
Speaker 12: the store, recorded the pin numbers. You buy that card,
Speaker 12: the money's loaded, and the thief takes it in an
Speaker 12: instant only. Buy and pass on gift cards that are
Speaker 12: sealed and keep the receipts. Then on your receipts, watch
Speaker 12: for hidden fees. In California, all mandatory charges must be
Speaker 12: included in listed prices, and the age also wants you
Speaker 12: to watch for gender based pricing. It's against the law
Speaker 12: report any price differences for similar products based on gender.
Speaker 1: I'm Lucindy Kay. Amazon employees in the US in more
Speaker 1: than twenty countries planned to protest or go on strike

Speaker 1: to democracy. Police are asking for your help in finding

Speaker 1: Neil Sevadra is in for his annual Turkey talk. So
Speaker 1: if you've got questions about your Thanksgiving, Meil Neil our
Speaker 1: fok reporter, going to help you get through it. Okay. So,
Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm so thankful for has
Speaker 1: been the opportunity to talk with and share with you
Speaker 1: our conversation with Space Force guardian and NASA astronaut Colonel
Speaker 1: Nick Haig, which culminated with us talking to Colonel Haig
Speaker 1: live on the International Space Station. So we wanted to
Speaker 1: share with you some of our talks with Colonel Haig
Speaker 1: as he prepared for the mission. This is the first
Speaker 1: time we got to talk to Colonel Nick Haig. Good morning,
Speaker 1: Colonel Haig.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Amy, how are you.
Speaker 1: I am wonderful, Thanks so much for getting up. We
Speaker 1: are so excited to talk to you because well, one,
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever talked to an astronaut, So
Speaker 1: this is a super big treat.
Speaker 4: We'll launch for roughly a six month mission to the
Speaker 4: International Space Station. That's what pretty much every crew does.
Speaker 4: And we've been cycling crews through the International Space Station
Speaker 4: and there's been someone working and living off the planet
Speaker 4: for over two decades now, oh.
Speaker 1: Because you have to keep somebody on board. And that's
Speaker 1: been going on for more than twenty years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, more than twenty years, and we're continuing on till
Speaker 4: twenty thirty. And so it's a long track record of
Speaker 4: you know, a pretty exciting successful scientific discovery and collaboration
Speaker 4: and cooperation off the planet. It's a great, great story and.
Speaker 1: After that to infinity and beyond. Okay, so, Colonel Hag,
Speaker 1: you are going to be the first Space Force guardian
Speaker 1: heading to the Space station. And when we were discussing this,
Speaker 1: I was like, what is a Space Force guardian? It's
Speaker 1: a term I've never heard before.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So Space Force is just like one of the other
Speaker 4: services Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. Now there's the Space Force.
Speaker 1: And it started about five years ago, right yeap.
Speaker 4: So this year we're coming up on our fifth birthday.
Speaker 4: And so guardians are what you call service members in
Speaker 4: the Space Force, just like airmen or soldiers or sailors.
Speaker 4: And there's you know, a little fewer than ten thousand
Speaker 4: Guardians that are serving in the Space Force in uniform,
Speaker 4: and so it you know, there's not a lot of us,
Speaker 4: but we're really effective and and some of the things
Speaker 4: that we do underpin everything that you know, we kind
Speaker 4: of rely on. So everybody's listening to this. They're driving
Speaker 4: to work, they're using they're using you know, Ways or
Speaker 4: Google or Apple Maps, and they're they're trying to dodge traffic. Well,
Speaker 4: the Global Positioning System GPS is what makes that possible
Speaker 4: in Space Force guardians or what make GPS possible?
Speaker 1: Okay, and so what my understanding of Space Force is
Speaker 1: that one of the missions of Space Force is to
Speaker 1: ensure safe access to space.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, so Space Force. You know, I'm a guardian
Speaker 4: launching to space. You know, I'm a NASA astronaut, so
Speaker 4: my job is with NASA, and so I'm in support
Speaker 4: of that. But there are going to be guardians that
Speaker 4: are working on the launch range on the East Coast
Speaker 4: that are going to help me get to the space
Speaker 4: station safely. They're going to watch make sure that, you know,
Speaker 4: there if there's any debris out there, that we don't
Speaker 4: run into that debris, so we do deconfliction. They also
Speaker 4: track us as we go to make sure that we're
Speaker 4: safe and in the event that something doesn't go right,
Speaker 4: they're there to help make sure that we get home safe.
Speaker 1: Okay. Now, so just the nuts and bolts of it.
Speaker 1: You are with Space Force? Now, were you Air Force before?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Because the Space Force just stood up, you know
Speaker 4: a little under five years ago. A lot of the
Speaker 4: people that transferred into the Space Force initially came from
Speaker 4: the Air Force doing those same missions. The creation of
Speaker 4: the Space Force allowed us to put focus and priority
Speaker 4: on those missions. So inside the Space Force, you know,
Speaker 4: I graduated from the Air Force Academy back in nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety eight and served in the Air Force the entire time,
Speaker 4: doing primarily space related activities, and so it was a
Speaker 4: natural transition for me to move over to the Space
Speaker 4: Force once it was established.
Speaker 1: So when they said, you know what, we're setting up
Speaker 1: a Space Force, and you're like, hey me, pick me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's an exciting time. There's there's so
Speaker 4: much energy in what's going on in space, and you
Speaker 4: don't just see it with the creation of the Space Force,
Speaker 4: but you also see it in civil space as well,
Speaker 4: in commercial space. You've got the Space Station activities, You've
Speaker 4: got Artemis and our missions that are taking us back
Speaker 4: to the surface of the Moon. You've got commercial entities
Speaker 4: that are getting involved more than ever before. So there's
Speaker 4: just a lot of energy. And so getting involved with
Speaker 4: the Space Force, transitioning over and being part of standing
Speaker 4: up a new service was a huge thrill.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is not your first time going to
Speaker 1: space either, is it, Colonel no.
Speaker 4: I was able to call the Space Station home just
Speaker 4: about five years ago. I was up there for a
Speaker 4: six month mission doing research and keeping the National Lab working.
Speaker 1: There is risk in becoming an assa astronaut. Colonel Haig
Speaker 1: found that out firsthand when they had to literally abort
Speaker 1: their mission after they launched. Colonel Haig's going to tell
Speaker 1: you about that. That's coming up in just a minute.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsrooms. Some
Speaker 1: neighborhoods in LA have had to scramble to keep their
Speaker 1: Christmas tree lighting events going.
Speaker 8: The defeat of city Councilman Kevin dale On in his
Speaker 8: re election bid earlier this month has led to a
Speaker 8: challenge in parts of his Northeast LA district. He says,
Speaker 8: because his city hall account won't be able to pay
Speaker 8: contractors after the end of this month, there's no way
Speaker 8: for him to pay for the tree lighting vendors. That's
Speaker 8: led communities like Lincoln Heights, Eagle Rock and Highland Park

Speaker 1: As I mentioned, it's supposed to be a handling the news,
Speaker 1: but we've got our FOURK reporter Neil Sevader in today
Speaker 1: because the handle is off doing a little musical chairs.
Speaker 1: We got to talk to Space Force guardian and NASA
Speaker 1: astronaut Colonel Nick Haig as he prepared for his six
Speaker 1: month mission to the International Space Station, and Colonel Hag
Speaker 1: told us that he's been there before, but on his
Speaker 1: first try at getting to the International Space Station, he
Speaker 1: almost didn't make it. As we watch these liftoffs that
Speaker 1: have become more and more, I guess you would say commonplace,
Speaker 1: but there is definitely risk. A lot of things can
Speaker 1: go wrong. And was it on your first attempt you
Speaker 1: almost didn't make it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a inherently risky business when you're strapping
Speaker 4: yourself to gigantic tanks of rocket fuel and lighting it
Speaker 4: off and sending yourself up, and you know, sometimes things
Speaker 4: don't go right. But we put in lots of layers
Speaker 4: of safety to try to mitigate that risk. So on
Speaker 4: my first launch, I was launching on a Soyuz rocket
Speaker 4: Kazakhstan out of the bikan Or Cosmodrome, and two minutes
Speaker 4: into that launch are we had a malfunction with one
Speaker 4: of the boosters that was supposed to separate. It actually
Speaker 4: collided back into the rocket and caused it to disintegrate.
Speaker 4: And so we're going. We pointed straight up, going five
Speaker 4: thousand miles an hour, about thirty miles above the above
Speaker 4: the Earth, and the launch escape system fired off within
Speaker 4: a fraction of a second and pulled us away from
Speaker 4: the rocket before it before it was too late. And
Speaker 4: then we landed underneath parachutes, and so my Russian commander
Speaker 4: alexey of Chennen and myself landed in the middle of
Speaker 4: the Kazak step and some pair of rescue jumpers came
Speaker 4: down and helped us get out of the capsule and
Speaker 4: we waited for the rest of the team to arrive.
Speaker 4: So it was a successful failure, and that the engineers
Speaker 4: had designed the system to protect us in case something
Speaker 4: went wrong and it worked.
Speaker 1: And then after that happened, you said, I'd like to
Speaker 1: go again.
Speaker 4: It's the job. Okay, all right, So when you work
Speaker 4: that long and and you're ready to go. You know,
Speaker 4: the first thing that my wife when she met back
Speaker 4: up with me after that accident, she said, you know,
Speaker 4: don't worry, you're going to get You're going to get
Speaker 4: to go. It's just a it's a commitment by a
Speaker 4: lot of people, Yeah, to get you ready, to support
Speaker 4: you along the way, and to finally get there and
Speaker 4: be part of such an amazing mission on the space
Speaker 4: station is worth it.
Speaker 1: So, Colonel Hag before you go, you're you're talking about
Speaker 1: there's a lot of preparations. I mean, you can't just
Speaker 1: jump on a rocket and say I'd like to go
Speaker 1: and head out into orbit. So, like, how long does
Speaker 1: it take to prepare for a mission like this?
Speaker 4: Specifically, once you're selected as an astronaut, it's it's two
Speaker 4: years of initial training, and then once you're assigned to
Speaker 4: a mission, it's about another two years of focused training.
Speaker 4: So it's about four years solid of traveling around the
Speaker 4: globe to different countries, learning their systems, working with the
Speaker 4: spacecraft that's going to take you, learning how to fly that,
Speaker 4: and then also learning how to operate the International Space Station.
Speaker 4: So it's really complex, but if you like learning stuff,
Speaker 4: you're learning something new almost every day, and it's a
Speaker 4: pretty thrilling job and it's.
Speaker 1: Got to be fun for someone who loves what they're doing.
Speaker 4: Right, Absolutely, it's being able to float around in waitlessness
Speaker 4: and then float over to the window and look down
Speaker 4: on the earth and just see it for the amazing
Speaker 4: thing that it is. Is life changing.
Speaker 1: So cool, as you know, if you listen to wake
Speaker 1: Up Call. We've been so lucky to get to talk
Speaker 1: with Colonel Haigs several times. All of those interviews that
Speaker 1: was just the first one are on the CAFI website
Speaker 1: cafiam six forty dot com slash wake up Call, or
Speaker 1: you can go to the feature page which is CAFI
Speaker 1: am six forty do comslash Space, but just go to
Speaker 1: the wake Up Call page and you'll find it. And
Speaker 1: we also have the Zoom interview when I got to
Speaker 1: talk with Colonel Hag live on the International Space Station.
Speaker 1: I've been in radio a long time. That was probably
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do,
Speaker 1: and Colonel Haig is such a pro. You can also
Speaker 1: see parts of the interview on my Instagram at Amy K.
Speaker 1: King would love for you to take a look, and
Speaker 1: I'd be very thankful this Thanksgiving if you followed me
Speaker 1: at amy K King. We also have my jello concoction
Speaker 1: that Cono and I are going to be tasting in
Speaker 1: a few minutes. It's also up on Instagram at amy
Speaker 1: K King. Let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Health
Speaker 1: officials in La County have released an expanded list of
Speaker 1: places in the county that sold a raw milk product
Speaker 1: that's under voluntary recall because of bird flu. The virus

Speaker 1: President elect Trump imposes tariffs on products from Mexico. If
Speaker 1: Trump places a twenty five percent tariff on products, Mexican
Speaker 1: President Claudia Shinebaum says Mexico might fire back with its
Speaker 1: own tariffs. University of San Diego Economics Professor Alan Jin

Speaker 1: pattern are at higher risk for a heart attack or stroke.
Speaker 2: A new study shows people who wake up at different
Speaker 2: times of the day have a twenty six percent chance
Speaker 2: of increased risk of a heart related health issue. The
Speaker 2: research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found
Speaker 2: the increased risk is still there even if those same
Speaker 2: people get their recommended hours of sleep every night. Researchers
Speaker 2: hypo the size that irregular sleep patterns might disrupt the
Speaker 2: way the body manages blood, sugar, cholesterol, and other things.
Speaker 2: Mark Ronner KFI News, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 1: Getting called into work has paid off big for a
Speaker 1: Walmart worker in the City of Industry. Rebecca Gonzalez says
Speaker 1: she was looking forward to having labor Day off a
Speaker 1: couple months ago, but her boss called her into work
Speaker 1: at the last minute. She says she reluctantly agreed, and
Speaker 1: then says her short three hour shift was really busy
Speaker 1: and because of that she forgot to buy a lottery
Speaker 1: ticket during her break, so instead she bought her ten
Speaker 1: dollars single double triple scratcher ticket with an odd with
Speaker 1: odds of winning one and over two million from a
Speaker 1: vending machine as she was walking out after her shift. Well,
Speaker 1: she was the one in over two million. She won
Speaker 1: a one million dollar grand prize. Gonzalez says she's paid
Speaker 1: off her debt, she's buying a new home with her winnings,
Speaker 1: and she's still working at Walmart. And Rebecca says that
Speaker 1: the only person she had told about her windfall until
Speaker 1: like right now is the boss who called her into
Speaker 1: work that day. Love that story, so maybe it could
Speaker 1: learn it could be lucky for us since we're working,
Speaker 1: and if you're working, maybe get a lottery scratch off.
Speaker 1: Never know.

Speaker 1: applies to x, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Reddit, but
Speaker 1: not YouTube. The ban has been criticized by experts who
Speaker 1: say it could have unintended unintended negative consequences. What could
Speaker 1: be the unintended negative consequences of trying out a new recipe? Well, first,
Speaker 1: let's share what that recipe is that I found on Instagram.
Speaker 17: It isn't too early to be thinking about something spectacular
Speaker 17: for holiday eating, and cranberry crimson.
Speaker 1: Mold could be it.
Speaker 17: It's colorful, good and you can make it ahead of time.
Speaker 17: We start by dissolving two packages of strawberry flavored gelatine
Speaker 17: in a cup and a half of boiling water. And
Speaker 17: now we're adding the gelatine gradually to a cup of
Speaker 17: miracle whip salad dressing. That's where the creamy look and
Speaker 17: a teasing flavor come from. After the mixture has chilled
Speaker 17: till it's slightly thickened, fold in a tenance package of
Speaker 17: cranberry relish and a cup and a half of apple sauce.
Speaker 17: It's a marvelous combination of flavors and the lively teasing
Speaker 17: taste a miracle whip is perfect for it, just before
Speaker 17: serving unmolded. Then we're going to top it off with
Speaker 17: more miracle whip and water crests. With holiday time coming
Speaker 17: up and lots of sandwiches and salads to be made better,
Speaker 17: get a couple of jars of uncopyable miracle whip from Kraft.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I saw that and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: a new dish. And then I was watching it going oh,
Speaker 1: heck no. But then I also thought I gotta try
Speaker 1: this because it sounds so disgusting, it might be good.
Speaker 1: So I did it. I made it, and now we're
Speaker 1: going to taste it. And if you want to see
Speaker 1: it again, it's on my Instagram. It actually ConA said
Speaker 1: it looked good.
Speaker 5: It does.
Speaker 1: It does okay, So but I will tell you. So
Speaker 1: we've taken it. I cut it. I got some for Cono,
Speaker 1: I got some for me. I got some for Niel R.
Speaker 1: FOURK reporter because you know he's the food guy. He's
Speaker 1: got to try it. And I will tell you you
Speaker 1: need to keep it refrigerated right up until serving time
Speaker 1: because it collapsed. It looked really good when it came
Speaker 1: out of the mold, but it collapsed. So okay, So
Speaker 1: it's again it's strawberry jello mixed in with miracle whip.
Speaker 5: You mean uncopyable.
Speaker 1: Uncopyable I know doesn't have a great voice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he sounds like the fifties.
Speaker 1: I think this was from the fifties.
Speaker 5: Late fifties, early sixties, is my guess.
Speaker 1: Okay. And then mixing in apple sauce and cranberry. It
Speaker 1: said cranberry something. It wasn't the relish cranberry relish, So
Speaker 1: I just got the cranberry sauce. Maybe maybe it's missing
Speaker 1: those chunky cranberries, but I like the smooth anyway. So
Speaker 1: and then it's just to top it at the end
Speaker 1: for a little extra zest, put some more miracle whip
Speaker 1: on the top.
Speaker 7: Basically, what we're saying is buy more miracle whip, the
Speaker 7: un comparable and uncopyable delicious miracle whip.
Speaker 5: All right, give it a taste, amy is it?
Speaker 1: Is it delicious? Here we go. Ohna didn't like it.
Speaker 1: It's weird, you know what.
Speaker 5: I think it's very tart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cranberries.
Speaker 5: It's not it's not bad tasting, it's not horrible.
Speaker 1: It's just weird. And it's it's not like it doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't taste fresh and healthy.
Speaker 5: What what?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 7: What I would the first thing I'd take out is
Speaker 7: that incredible miracle whip.
Speaker 5: I would remove the miracle whip as not to vomit.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of flavors.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of I think the the you know,
Speaker 7: mayonnaise or even miracle whip is going to have you know,
Speaker 7: that egg and that unctuous kind of oily.
Speaker 5: But the flavor is.
Speaker 1: Good, yeah, and the miracle whip does give it that zesty,
Speaker 1: little tangy thing like the guy said a little bit.
Speaker 5: But I would m yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that this is going to
Speaker 1: make it to the Thanksgiving table.
Speaker 7: But you know what, I might, I might serve that differently,
Speaker 7: might serve that as like a.
Speaker 1: You could alter it. I want to know what you do,
Speaker 1: because you're good with that kind of stuff. I don't know,
Speaker 1: likek about it, and you can tell us.
Speaker 5: But when you get into like the apple sauce part
Speaker 5: and that mixture, that's quite nice.
Speaker 1: The apple sauce and the cranberry.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that works together really really well. Which
Speaker 7: that gosh darn miracle whip.
Speaker 1: It's so smooth and delicious.
Speaker 5: It's like eating lard with a hair in it.
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, was it success. It was a success in
Speaker 1: the making and the unveiling, which you can see on Instagram.
Speaker 1: It did look pretty pretty good. Taste, maybe not, And Neil,
Speaker 1: I want to know what your concoction is, how you're
Speaker 1: going to fix it, because I think maybe it is fixable.
Speaker 1: And I now have a really cool jello mold because
Speaker 1: nobody had a jello mold, so I had to go
Speaker 1: buy one on Amazon and it's cute.
Speaker 7: I'd get some cheese Claus and I would sive out
Speaker 7: that miracle whip.
