Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: App Kamala Harris and Donald Trump both highlighting economic policies
Speaker 2: as they continue their outreach. Specifically, former President Trump in Durrow, Florida,
Speaker 2: for a town hall meeting on the economy. Vice President
Speaker 2: Harris is talking to NBC's Nightly News tonight, sitting down
Speaker 2: for an interview with them, but doesn't have any other
Speaker 2: events planned campaign wise today. We were talking earlier about
Speaker 2: the Oh, just just a quick just a quick note
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: Gary.
Speaker 2: I think even like American airlines in Southwest have the
Speaker 2: TVs on the plane.
Speaker 1: So basically you're telling everybody you're Weirdoly fly Spirit.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: I've never flown Spirit and if you did, that would
Speaker 1: be okay too.
Speaker 2: Why is I have no idea what makes him angry
Speaker 2: about it?
Speaker 4: I don't think it's about the Spirit.
Speaker 2: Most recently, I've flown Southwest, fly Southwest a lot, because
Speaker 2: we're in the Southwest. I've flown Alaska a lot, but
Speaker 2: I've never flown aund Alaska plane that has TV screens.
Speaker 2: They do, some of them do now I was on
Speaker 2: a United flight coming back from Chicago. They didn't have
Speaker 2: screens in there. I mean most of them all have
Speaker 2: You can use your own.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, then that's the other thing.
Speaker 1: A lot of people just use their phones or iPads
Speaker 1: or what have you.
Speaker 2: But well, we were talking about the phone setup why
Speaker 2: people use the speakers on their phone.
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Gary and Channon. I hear what you're
Speaker 5: saying about the speaker phone issue. However, my phone is
Speaker 5: not working properly right now, and I can't have a
Speaker 5: conversation unless it's on speaker. And I cringe when I'm
Speaker 5: in public and I have to be on a call
Speaker 5: because I think it's rude as well.
Speaker 4: But I write now, don't have a choice, got it.
Speaker 2: So your phone is broken, that's understanding, that's understandable.
Speaker 4: I can get that. We'll do more of those here
Speaker 4: in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Remember the Turpin siblings, the six Turpin siblings subject to
Speaker 1: years of child abuse the hands of their foster parents.
Speaker 4: This was after enduring more than.
Speaker 1: A decade of abuse by their biological parents.
Speaker 4: This was the house of horrors.
Speaker 1: Remember the one of the little girls escaped while she
Speaker 1: was about fourteen or fifteen, But looked about eight or
Speaker 1: nine malnourished kids, kept in the dark, couldn't leave the
Speaker 1: home the whole bit, so six of them went to
Speaker 1: foster parents, where they apparently were abused some more. There
Speaker 1: has been a conviction and sentences of handed out to
Speaker 1: those former foster parents, but now the attorneys who represent
Speaker 1: the siblings are going after Riverside County and the foster
Speaker 1: agency that placed them as well.
Speaker 2: Rosa Lenis and Marcellino Olgeen were the ones that were
Speaker 2: taking in these kids, some of the kids. They've been
Speaker 2: sentenced for several counts of child abuse. Just last week,
Speaker 2: Rosa and Lenni so Olgein had their sentences suspended, given
Speaker 2: four years of probation. Marcellino pleaded guilty to charges of
Speaker 2: sexual abuse in addition to the child abuse, instead sentenced
Speaker 2: to seven years of state prison. An attorney says, the
Speaker 2: damage that this foster family was capable of doing was
Speaker 2: limited to the number of kids they had in their home.
Speaker 2: It was terrible, it was tragic, should never have happened.
Speaker 2: Caused great harm to our clients that were already already
Speaker 2: messed up by their own line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 1: The foster agency or the authorities that b would be
Speaker 1: extra careful to place these kids after what they had
Speaker 1: gone through. It was twenty eighteen when one of these
Speaker 1: thirteen Turpin siblings escaped from the home contacted law enforcement.
Speaker 1: It was David and Luis Turpin who arrested, pleaded guilty
Speaker 1: to multiple counts of child abuse, torture, and false imprisonment,
Speaker 1: sentenced to life in prison. But this case got so
Speaker 1: much publicity, so much media attention, you would think that
Speaker 1: all eyes would be on where did these kids land
Speaker 1: and the fact that they landed at a home where
Speaker 1: such abuse was and maybe it's just so pervasive in
Speaker 1: the foster care system. I have no idea, but you
Speaker 1: would think that there would be extra attention paid to
Speaker 1: where they were placed. You would hope, you would hope
Speaker 1: for all kids right there are, but especially when they're
Speaker 1: in the spotlight.
Speaker 2: A Riverside County spokesperson came out and said, we remained
Speaker 2: the county. We remain committed to their well being and
Speaker 2: their lifelong journey of healing. We appreciate our county and
Speaker 2: community partners who collaborate with us to support the family
Speaker 2: and every family with services and resources. All but one
Speaker 2: of those kids is now adult. So out of the
Speaker 2: thirteen kids, one of them still technically in foster care
Speaker 2: with foster parents. Said that basically that they're doing She's
Speaker 2: doing well. The others are all out on their own,
Speaker 2: some are in college, some making their own way in
Speaker 2: the world, at least according to the lawyer.
Speaker 1: So just to sad, be careful what you say in
Speaker 1: public because somebody is always recording these days.
Speaker 2: Well that and people are on their speakerphone all the time,
Speaker 2: so you got to be careful what you say.
Speaker 6: Gary Chaanning, I'm a military event.
Speaker 7: I am hard a hearing.
Speaker 4: When I put the phone up to my ear, it
Speaker 4: sounds muffled. I can hear a lot more clear when
Speaker 4: I was on speakerphone. Interesting, So yeah.
Speaker 7: I don't do it in public though it's just around
Speaker 7: the house.
Speaker 4: Good, I love your shood day, Thank you.
Speaker 1: For your service. I I'm the opposite. I have a
Speaker 1: really hard time hearing when it's on the speaker phone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: words don't they're all muffled.
Speaker 2: But those are two great reasons that we didn't think
Speaker 2: of why people would talk on their speakerphone in public.
Speaker 4: Although he said he doesn't do it in public, he
Speaker 4: would do it at the phone. But your your.
Speaker 2: Phone is broken. You have hearing issues. I understand. I mean,
Speaker 2: these are shiny little speakers that aren't designed for sure,
Speaker 2: But what about the other people? But there are others.
Speaker 1: So I have a Korean market near me, and Jacob
Speaker 1: asked if I could pick something up from the Korean market,
Speaker 1: and I said absolutely, it's right.
Speaker 4: On my way home.
Speaker 1: I said, send me a picture. He sends me a
Speaker 1: picture of this salted shrimp. But it's like in a
Speaker 1: jar and it looks like it's chopped up, and I
Speaker 1: just I go to the market. My husband asks for
Speaker 1: this particular kind of granola, and I go to the
Speaker 1: Ralphs and I spend like ten fifteen minutes trying to
Speaker 1: find the granola that's like this honey nut organic granola
Speaker 1: because I never remember what aisle the granola is in,
Speaker 1: because I don't usually buy granola, And that's a struggle
Speaker 1: for me to get an item that I'm not familiar
Speaker 1: with at my local market at the Ralphs where it's
Speaker 1: in English. How the hell am I I'm going to
Speaker 1: wander the aisles for like an hour and a half.
Speaker 2: All you have to do is show somebody that, okay,
Speaker 2: and they'll help you.
Speaker 4: I'll just be an idiot instead of time concerning Okay,
Speaker 4: every once in a while, it's okay, just to get
Speaker 4: you out of your comfort zone.
Speaker 2: I mean, or you know what would be better is
Speaker 2: you call Jacob while you're walking up and down the aisle.
Speaker 4: Oh, we have to talk to him on speaker phone
Speaker 4: and be like, can you look at that? And they
Speaker 4: look like maggots? Someone's calling you? Should I answer it? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, ask her, it's my sister. Ask her how to
Speaker 1: pronounce the name of the Nascar Brothers.
Speaker 4: The question, the name of the Nascar Brothers? Is it?
Speaker 4: He starts with the room, No, starts of the tea,
Speaker 4: doesn't it? Remember, Amy King.
Speaker 2: Asked us earlier, Frankie Munez is going to be driving
Speaker 2: for this NASCAR team, and she was looking for the pronunciation.
Speaker 4: Oh r E A U A U M me. She
Speaker 4: doesn't know, she doesn't know.
Speaker 2: Wow, she said, it's the it's like the NASCAR minor
Speaker 2: leagues that she doesn't know.
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, got it all right? Thanks bye. Well that
Speaker 4: was a good start. Did you see what this shrimp
Speaker 4: on speakerphone? Yeah, that's not that's not real. That's what
Speaker 4: is that imitate shrimp. What is this shrimp? They look
Speaker 4: like little maggots jakes for Kimshi Fried Rice.
Speaker 1: Oh that's very exotic, Okay, I do like fred Rice. Well,
Speaker 1: the candidate running to unseat Kevin d Leone who got
Speaker 1: caught on hidden tape talking about a fellow city council
Speaker 1: member's adopted son, saying that he was an accessory like
Speaker 1: a designer handbag, the adopted son being black, the city
Speaker 1: council member being white.
Speaker 4: That did not go over well.
Speaker 1: The candidate running to unseat him has been caught on
Speaker 1: tape now saying f the police.
Speaker 2: Isabelle Jarado is running in the election to represent the
Speaker 2: neighborhoods from else Reno to Eagle Rock basically, and someone
Speaker 2: was asking one of the potential constituents was asking about
Speaker 2: abolishing police.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize we were still on that.
Speaker 3: As a residency fourteen Yes, and punk from East LA
Speaker 3: who active in the scene kind of still I'm retired
Speaker 3: as someone who's myself pro abolishment of police, where do
Speaker 3: you stand on that spectrum? And also, what do you
Speaker 3: think about Capnillion's discretionary fund spending on overtime for police?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: What's the rap verse the police. That's how I see
Speaker 4: him and reach against the machine.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's not on hidden that sounds like a
Speaker 1: microphone that that guy's on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she and it's a public forum.
Speaker 1: This is an I thought this was going to be
Speaker 1: an offhanded comment, off to the side in a private conversation.
Speaker 1: This was in front of people, and her excuse for
Speaker 1: it was I was just quoting the song. But she says,
Speaker 1: what's the rap verse f the police? And then says
Speaker 1: that's how I see them.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, and then goes on to talk about rage
Speaker 2: against the machine. It wasn't clear what song she was referencing,
Speaker 2: but it's probably killing in the name.
Speaker 1: Also Kevin de Leone's plan to use discretioninary discretionary funds
Speaker 1: to pay for overtime. He's gaining some ground back with
Speaker 1: me for that take in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: It's an Listen.
Speaker 2: You don't have to capitulate to constituents if they say
Speaker 2: something as absolutely ridiculous as we want to abolish the
Speaker 2: police department, where do you stand? You can say, I
Speaker 2: have plenty of beefs with the police department.
Speaker 4: I've had a history of bad.
Speaker 2: What do you call experiences with police and law says,
Speaker 2: whatever her history is, she could lay that out and
Speaker 2: not say F the police.
Speaker 1: Now she says, it's not the rage song, but it's
Speaker 1: a Kanye song. Kanye West song All Falls Down features
Speaker 1: the line I say F the police, That's how I
Speaker 1: treat them.
Speaker 4: That that was more in line.
Speaker 1: With her saying off the police, that's how I see them,
Speaker 1: still quoting Kanye, which is still a problem for me.
Speaker 2: It didn't come back, thankfully. Police Chief Dominic Choi interim
Speaker 2: issued his own statement and said that saying things like
Speaker 2: that diminishes the hard work and the dedication of the
Speaker 2: men and women of the l a p D. It's
Speaker 2: rare that a police chief would get involved in something
Speaker 2: political like this, but said that this divisive language only
Speaker 2: serves to e road what should be a positive and
Speaker 2: collaborative relationship between the police and the people we serve.
Speaker 2: Are the words that she said dangerous Now she's just
Speaker 2: she's it's moronic, But it's not dangerous.
Speaker 4: Is she calling back? Reum? Just how it's just how
Speaker 4: it looks. Ok thank you for doing your due diligence.
Speaker 2: That's how we do research on this show, as we
Speaker 2: call O.
Speaker 4: Got it? Okay? That makes sense. Yeah, why it would
Speaker 4: be a little.
Speaker 2: Chris uh Elon Musk and Gavin Newsom actually agree on something,
Speaker 2: right now, Well they're rich dudes.
Speaker 1: He's not that rich, No, it is much, but they're
Speaker 1: the same kind of dude.
Speaker 2: Well, it's an interesting political thing that they agree on.
Speaker 2: That kind of surprised that President Putin is playing host
Speaker 2: to some of the biggest gatherings of world leaders since
Speaker 2: the invasion of Ukraine, using the Bricks Summit to show
Speaker 2: the United States and other Western countries that Russia is
Speaker 2: no pariah. So they've got the Chinese President Shi Jinping,
Speaker 2: Indian Prime Minister Modi, the South African President Ramafosa. They're
Speaker 2: all joining Vladimir Putin, alongside leaders of some new Bricks countries. Iran, Egypt, UAE,
Speaker 2: Ethiopia are now all in This.
Speaker 1: A weird story out of Washington. Teenage boy in custody,
Speaker 1: five people killed inside a home outside of Seattle Fall City.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of false? Oh yeah, oh, I had
Speaker 1: not right up off of I ninety. It's just north
Speaker 1: of ninetyes.
Speaker 4: All right, I guess it's just been a while too.
Speaker 1: Police responded to reports of his shooting yesterday there in Falls,
Speaker 1: city east of Seattle, found three children and two adults
Speaker 1: dead at the home. Another person in their mid teens
Speaker 1: was hospitalized and stable condition. Don't know what the relationship is,
Speaker 1: but it looks like a familial mass murder.
Speaker 2: I saw a report that it was a fifteen year
Speaker 2: old boy, three brothers, mom, and dad, and that the
Speaker 2: survivor was the sister, which she was shot right, shot twice.
Speaker 4: I think, so was it a murder suicide?
Speaker 2: He didn't kill himself? Oh, he did not, And there
Speaker 2: was They said, no incident. No, what would you call it?
Speaker 2: It was an easy arrest. I guess for when officers
Speaker 2: did show up.
Speaker 1: Forbes is out with the list of the best Halloween
Speaker 1: vacation destinations. I didn't know that Halloween was a vacation time.
Speaker 4: Strange list.
Speaker 1: At the top of the list is New Orleans, No
Speaker 1: think Witchy somewhere up in Massachusetts. Salem, Massachusetts, the site
Speaker 1: of the witch trials of sixteen ninety two. Next up
Speaker 1: is Sleepy Hollow, New York, setting in the famous Washington
Speaker 1: Irving tale about the Headless Horseman, and then New Orleans
Speaker 1: for turning its Halloween celebrations up to eleven Anoka, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: gets a spot on the list for its family friendly celebrations,
Speaker 1: including numerous parades. Oh and then Savannah, Georgia's number five
Speaker 1: one of the most haunted cities in America.
Speaker 2: I know that we talked about using your speakerphone in
Speaker 2: public for some reason, and we didn't understand exactly Aarian Shannon.
Speaker 8: Yes, I'm one of these speakerphone talkers, though I don't
Speaker 8: like to do it around other people, and I try
Speaker 8: to self manage myself to not be around other people.
Speaker 8: I don't need them here in my phone conversations, but
Speaker 8: one is just more comfortable and easier. Two I don't
Speaker 8: like putting up to my ear and then three my phone,
Speaker 8: my iPhone is a little tweaked and broke, but I
Speaker 8: can't do plugin headphones, and to get Bluetooth headphones is expensive.
Speaker 4: Et cetera.
Speaker 8: So I like to use my speakerphone all the time.
Speaker 8: It's my norm, but not around other people. That is annoying.
Speaker 4: That's okay, fair.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know why it's easier to hold
Speaker 2: it out in front of you than it is to
Speaker 2: if you're at home and you could put it somewhere.
Speaker 4: That's one thing.
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about people that are going for a
Speaker 2: walk or sometimes jogging even and they're holding their speakerphone out.
Speaker 7: Hey Gary is shan.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Unfortunately with my phone, I have to speak on a
Speaker 9: speakerphone because the little ear piece thing at the top
Speaker 9: of my phone doesn't work, and I can't afford to
Speaker 9: upgrade my phone, so I kind of get stuck and
Speaker 9: dealing with having to speak on the speakerphone. Personally, I
Speaker 9: don't like doing it either, But you know, you do
Speaker 9: what you gotta do.
Speaker 4: Do what you gotta do. You do it is what
Speaker 4: it is, Do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom has made some comments to Pullo during an
Speaker 2: interview as he was campaigning for Vice President Harris in
Speaker 2: North Carolina. How does Gavin Newsom go over in North Carolina.
Speaker 2: I'd love to know what people think of him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: flying in from California and campaigning for anybody in North Carolina.
Speaker 2: But there is a legal dispute going on between Elon
Speaker 2: Musk and the California Coastal Commission over the number of
Speaker 2: rocket launches that SpaceX can do from Vandenberg Space Force Space,
Speaker 2: and when the Coastal Commission voted against increasing the number
Speaker 2: of SpaceX launches.
Speaker 4: There was apparently some.
Speaker 2: Suggestion that it was Gavin new Sorry, that it was
Speaker 2: Elon Musk's political considerations, his political leanings and his vocalization
Speaker 2: about politics, that made the Coastal Commission vote against him.
Speaker 2: As opposed to anything scientific about all of this, Gavin
Speaker 2: Newsom said over the weekend, I'm with Elon.
Speaker 4: All of this was.
Speaker 2: Again around the Coastal Commission's rejection of SpaceX's plan to
Speaker 2: increase the number of rocket launches.
Speaker 4: They wanted to go up to about one a week.
Speaker 2: That'd be fifty a year, and the Commission is trying
Speaker 2: to figure out their job is to regulate development of
Speaker 2: land to protect natural resources along the coast. They most
Speaker 2: recently agreed to up the number to thirty six SpaceX
Speaker 2: launches a year, and so far this year they've launched
Speaker 2: thirty four. The most recent one just happened on Saturday,
Speaker 2: so they they're on track. I mean, they're going to
Speaker 2: hit that number, no problem. Military officials said they expect
Speaker 2: to submit another request in a few months to increase
Speaker 2: the number of launches to one hundred a year, but
Speaker 2: they did cite Elon Musk's political influence and his company's
Speaker 2: labor records as reasons why they voted to reject the place.
Speaker 2: Nothing about regulation of land development or protecting natural resourceage,
Speaker 2: which is their job. They said it was all about
Speaker 2: politics and what he said was his the labor record
Speaker 2: at companies that he owns. SpaceX has sued and the
Speaker 2: governor is at least on SpaceX's side here.
Speaker 1: Apparently he was at UNC Charlotte talking to students, so
Speaker 1: not at like an adults rally.
Speaker 4: That's a little brutal, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 1: And this is more I said to see me and
Speaker 1: I'm calling about the speakerphone.
Speaker 7: I do that all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm totally guilty of it, and.
Speaker 5: It's because it's just I can multitask better if I'm
Speaker 5: holding the.
Speaker 1: Phone, and I feel like I can hear the person
Speaker 1: better and the phone doesn't get hot on my face.
Speaker 4: But I am aware that it is rude.
Speaker 1: So I'll catch myself like a costo, like, oh, I
Speaker 1: got to like not be on speakerphone.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I hope that helps.
Speaker 9: Bye bye.
Speaker 4: I want to know what that realization is, though, what
Speaker 4: do you what?
Speaker 2: I would you just say out loud that maybe someone
Speaker 2: turned and looked at you and reacted to what you
Speaker 2: were saying out loud that you then said, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I so the woman who walks by my place when
Speaker 1: I'm sitting outside with her dog and uh and is
Speaker 1: on the speaker phone and just having her conversation out
Speaker 1: in the open. It was a quiet day. When she
Speaker 1: notices me sitting outside and that with I'm in earshot,
Speaker 1: she gives me a look like how dare you?
Speaker 4: How dare you listen to my phone? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like why are you listening? And I'm like, I'm just
Speaker 1: sitting here reading a book. Lady, you know you're the
Speaker 1: one who's opening up your life to everybody. I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear this conversation.
Speaker 2: And then she says down onto the phone, I can't
Speaker 2: believe this lady is totally interrupting my ranks.
Speaker 4: It's totally eavesdropping. It's like, how can you not I love.
Speaker 7: The show this morning.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I always to use the speakerphone phone because I don't
Speaker 7: want to get the Dane Brammage holding it to my head.
Speaker 4: The Dane Brandage. Fine, did he just say the Dane Brammage? Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's being funny.
Speaker 8: Oh, I was talking on the speakerphone because my face
Speaker 8: is too fat and sweating. And when I have the
Speaker 8: phone up starts pushing buttons and stuff and dialing.
Speaker 4: Honest crap, and I'm on the phone. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: was totally get that phone does this? So do that
Speaker 4: because when I if you.
Speaker 1: Might as a press buttons, but I have like I won't.
Speaker 1: I was in Pittsburgh for that game and it was
Speaker 1: really hot. I was on the phone. I take my
Speaker 1: phone away from my face. That was sweating profusely.
Speaker 4: And you could see your face.
Speaker 1: That's disgusting makeup and sweat.
Speaker 4: Sorry cool, I know, right, guys. Great news.
Speaker 2: You could walk from Dodger Stadium to the nearest Metro
Speaker 2: route in twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: The fact that Metro put this out is a liability
Speaker 1: problem because it's a sketchy route. What they're trying to
Speaker 1: do is get you to the A line in Chinatown
Speaker 1: and they take you on some shape. I've walked a
Speaker 1: lot around Dodger Stadium. I've never taken a route this shady.
Speaker 1: This is the Eye ten pedestrian bridge. You will get
Speaker 1: shanked and die.
Speaker 2: Metro post my disclaimer on social media, urging fans to
Speaker 2: walk to and from the stadium to the Chinatown rail station.
Speaker 2: After the home games as they appear. The first two
Speaker 2: games Sunday month or Friday and Saturday going to be
Speaker 2: at Dodger State Friday is going to be an absolute nightmare,
Speaker 2: oh wise, because you've got the Dodger game, Dodgers playing
Speaker 2: the Yankees first game of the World Series, you have
Speaker 2: USC playing Rutgers at the Coliseum.
Speaker 4: I believe there's a game at Crypto. There's a concert
Speaker 4: at Crypto, doesn't matter because it's really far away.
Speaker 2: There's a concert at the Forum, there's a concert at
Speaker 2: the into it, there's a high school football game at
Speaker 2: so far Crypto.
Speaker 1: I was thinking into it, into it and the SOFI
Speaker 1: Stu Englewood.
Speaker 4: That's not gonna be a problem.
Speaker 2: But if you drive from Huntington to Dodger Stadium to
Speaker 2: go to the game, you're gonna get caught up in
Speaker 2: all of this stuff. So that's why Metro puts this
Speaker 2: out giving you an option to walk to and from.
Speaker 2: So somebody from Channel seven I actually walked this path.
Speaker 2: The video says it could be done at about twenty
Speaker 2: five minutes, and they tip it off and say, hey,
Speaker 2: most of this trip from Dodger Stadium to the Chinatown
Speaker 2: rail station is downhill.
Speaker 6: Yes, you can walk the Metro rail ass at Dodgers games.
Speaker 6: It's all downhill and only takes about twenty five minutes.
Speaker 6: Start by taking a walk rate to the downtown gate. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's right, I'm walking here.
Speaker 1: It shows it's a catchy song.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Then take a right on Stadium Way.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's where I want to stop you. Yes, you
Speaker 2: take a right on Stadium Way to get out of
Speaker 2: the gate, to get to Stadium Way. There's no sidewalk. No,
Speaker 2: it's not designed for large groups of people to walk
Speaker 2: with their feats and their chevro legs. There's no lighting
Speaker 2: and there's no I you know what they I shouldn't
Speaker 2: say this. I shouldn't say it's all. They should add lighting.
Speaker 2: They just should know that they have had problems in
Speaker 2: the past.
Speaker 1: But I have gone in recent years and it's still
Speaker 1: not a well lit area even where there are lights.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The channel area Channel seven says they did it in
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, just over fifteen minutes, so it was better
Speaker 2: than the estimate that Metro put out, and also said
Speaker 2: that it wasn't from the base of the stadium that
Speaker 2: could add about five more minutes.
Speaker 4: On to the walk.
Speaker 2: Executive director of Safe Streets Are for Everyone Safe Sorry,
Speaker 2: seat Streets are for Everyone called Safe. Damien Kevitt is
Speaker 2: the executive director. They have talked about one of their
Speaker 2: big pushes is to make streets safe for pedestrians and bicyclists,
Speaker 2: and Damien says, possibly a lot of people are laughing
Speaker 2: at this and going, are you kidding? I would never
Speaker 2: walk this is Los Angeles. But we need to walk more.
Speaker 2: It's true we need to walk more. Okay, which comes first,
Speaker 2: me walking more or it being safe for me to
Speaker 2: walk more?
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 2: As far as physical safety, there's some concerns that people
Speaker 2: may see as deal breakers. And again this is the
Speaker 2: guy who tries to make streets safer for pedestrians in
Speaker 2: La even he says, there are some sketchy spots along
Speaker 2: that walk there, so it's probably not a walk that
Speaker 2: everyone should be comfortable with. There's some crossings there that
Speaker 2: are a little bit on the sketchy side from a
Speaker 2: road safety perspective. Not to mention just getting out of
Speaker 2: the stadium, you have a lot of cars leaving the
Speaker 2: stadium at the same time.
Speaker 1: That pedestrian walkway looks like a freaking crime scene.
Speaker 5: Is that the one?
Speaker 7: The one?
Speaker 5: Ten?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, some some tricky situations there, especially where you've
Speaker 2: got crossings, But Damien says he thinks Metro's idea is
Speaker 2: a solid plan could help alleviate traffic messages that come
Speaker 2: with Dodger games, and you may actually save time. The
Speaker 2: only time I've taken rideshare away from Dodger Stadium, I
Speaker 2: think we did it once.
Speaker 4: It was it was awful. It was I don't know
Speaker 4: if they've changed it.
Speaker 2: That was three or four years ago, but I don't
Speaker 2: know if they've changed it since then, but it was awful.
Speaker 1: I've it's gotten better at stadiums, but the last time
Speaker 1: I took it and was at Levi's, I think, and
Speaker 1: it was a complete nightmare, complete nightmare. Confusion, the weight,
Speaker 1: the lack of signage, all of it. Leaving stadiums is
Speaker 1: my least favorite thing. My dad used to have this
Speaker 1: it also means that the game's over. Well, no, it's
Speaker 1: just too many people alter to get out at same time.
Speaker 1: My dad used to this rule when we'd go to
Speaker 1: Niner games that we'd leave the very latest we'd leave
Speaker 1: is four minutes on the clock. And it drove as
Speaker 1: crazy as kids, like, what do you mean, there's still
Speaker 1: four minutes on the clock. We want to stay unless
Speaker 1: it was a close game, and then he would start
Speaker 1: walking out with four minutes on the clock, but like
Speaker 1: stop at the top of the just so that you
Speaker 1: could get in your car and get out of there
Speaker 1: before everybody else. And it was only till I was
Speaker 1: adult and I drove to the game's my own that
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, that makes sense because it sitting
Speaker 1: in the car for two hours trying to leave a
Speaker 1: stadium win or lose sucks the fun.
Speaker 4: Out of it.
Speaker 2: My nightmare scenario happened at Candlestick Park. There was a
Speaker 2: kid who was reported missing in about the seventh inning,
Speaker 2: where they made an announcement in the stadium something like, hey, hey, Bobby,
Speaker 2: come meet your parents at the so and so arena
Speaker 2: or find the nearest security usher or something like that,
Speaker 2: and they kept saying that. They came back of the
Speaker 2: eighth inning and they said something the ninth inning and
Speaker 2: they said something, We get in the car to leave,
Speaker 2: and they're inspecting every car leaving Chastic Park.
Speaker 4: What year was this man? Ninety two three four somewhere
Speaker 4: in there. Yeah, and I mean, is shelled abduction high
Speaker 4: high season. It took three hours to get out of
Speaker 4: the parking. That's awful. Wow, And you're tired.
Speaker 1: And you don't want them seeing all the drugs in
Speaker 1: your car. I bet you were packing heat and everything.
Speaker 4: Not then, oh, not that. Two reasons for speaking on
Speaker 4: speaker phone One carpal tunnel. Two everybody thinks they're going
Speaker 4: to get cancer from their phone. What is the carpal tunnel?
Speaker 1: I guess if you're holding it, I guess, So don't
Speaker 1: do that with your hand.
Speaker 4: That's definitely gonna give you a carpel tunnel.
Speaker 7: So I'm an amateur radio operator and my wife and
Speaker 7: I was at a grocery store and this guy's walking
Speaker 7: down the aisle with his Bluetooth earpiece sticking in his hand.
Speaker 7: And I laid over to my wife and I says,
Speaker 7: look at this guy, like anybody is concerned about what
Speaker 7: kind of green beans he's going to buy today. He's
Speaker 7: so important he might get a call any second. So
Speaker 7: I'm just going off on this guy being a total jerk.
Speaker 7: And my wife means back to me, and she says,
Speaker 7: you have a ham radio on your belt.
Speaker 4: Ooh oh. I hope you guys are still together. Ham
Speaker 4: Radio on your belt. That's next level. He's a dedication
