But we're also going to have some fun features and share some fun things that you can do today and this weekend. So here's what's ahead on the wake Up Call. Hurricane Hillary has been upgraded to a Category four storm with winds of one hundred forty five miles per hours. It churns off the Pacific coast

Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom that storm headed towards southern California has strengthened to a Category four hurricane off the Pacific coast of Mexico. Forecasters say Hurricane Hillary has sustained winds up to one hundred forty five miles per hour. They say the storm will weekend before it hits California, but could still bring several inches of rain along the coast Sunday into Monday. Rain is still
expected for inland areas, and there is the possibility of flooding. Officials in Palm Springs are urging residents to get ready for potentially dangerous conditions because of Hurricane Hillary. The city says empty sand bags will be available at five Palm Springs fire stations each day. Officials are also advising residents to stay off roads if they can. As much as five inches of rain could fall into Palm Springs, as much as nine inches as possible in the San Jacinto Mountains Sunday and
Monday morning. Some locals on Maui say they're still waiting for help from the local and federal government. Pinetta says he can't understand why officials didn't react and respond faster following the wildfires last week in Lahina. They weren't getting anything. I was there for two days, were you know, nothing, All the stores are called, the gas seasons are closed, you know, everything like that, so people and then finally everything started happening where you know the food
is. Panetta lost his job because of the fires and has been housing people who lost their homes. He says he has to support his family and if he can't find a job soon, he may have to move to the mainland. On Maui. Steve Gregory Campine News, Thank you, Steve. Around twenty thousand residents have been told to leave the capital of Canada's northwest territories. As a wildfire gets closer to the city, many have driven out, while
others waited for emergency flights to Alberta. Officials say one of the wildfires burning west of yellow Knife is more than four hundred seven thousand acres and spans more than six hundred square miles. There are more than a thousand fires a thousand fires burning across Canada. A new task force is targeting flash mob robberies across LA. Officials have announced a regional task force dedicated to catching the thieves.
The task force, announced yesterday is a joint effort between the LAPD, Burbank PDLA County Sheriff's Department, and more Sheriff Lutas says retail theft has been an issue for some time. From the all of twenty twenty one through August sixteenth, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is aware of at least one hundred and seventy organized retail defts. Retailers have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars for mobs

K if I News Blue Shield of California is going to stop using most CVS health Is Pharmacy services so it can work with other providers. The nonprofit insurer says it wants to reduce drug costs for its members as it plans to partner with other companies like
Amazon and cost Plus Drugs. Blue Shields CEO says the decision has been in the works since CBS refused to carry a cheaper version of a cancer drug earlier this year. The hearing officer overseeing disbarment proceedings of former Chapman University Law School dean John Eastman could put those hearings on hold. Eastman is facing criminal charges in Georgia for election interference. Eastman's lawyer says his client can't get a fair

El Segundo has won a rain shortened game against Ohio in the opening round of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Fans back home cheered the team on at Rock and Bruce El Segundo last night. I mean, this is like a very in

After going into the third inning down three to one, El Segundo rallied back with back to back home runs to go up by one before the rain started a fall and the game was called early. El Segundo will play again Monday at four pm on ESPN two. It is Fun Friday. We got some fun things coming
up if you're headed to the movies. So let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment guru, Jason Nathanson. Jason, anyone going to beat Barbie this weekend? It is possible. Blue Beetle is going to take down Barbie at the box office, which is over a month now on top, and you know it's hard to say Barbie is fading. The performance has been so fantastic and this week setting another record as the highest grossing movie ever domestically for Warner Brothers.
Warner Brothers, the studio behind Superman, Batman, Harry Potter and all those films. And Barbie is the biggest film ever for Warner Brothers, not adjusted for inflation, so that's pretty incredible. But eventually, you know, you can only make so much money in a weekend, and it diminishes each weekend, and something's gonna come along and take over that spot. And it's probably gonna be Blue Beetle, which is also another Warner Brothers movie. The
Warner Brothers is going to take over for itself. Good late summer, yeah, exactly, great August for them. And we're not talking about a huge amount of money either for Blue Beetle, and probably in the thirty thirty five million dollars range. But that's that that that would be enough, uh for Bart to take over for Barbie. And I'm actually surprised that Blue Beetle would not make more money. This is it's the first live action Latino superhero ever
put on screen by d It's the kid from Cobra Kai. Yes, exactly, love him, Yeah, Zolomar Duenna and he's the you know, if you know Cobra Kai. Great. The cast itself not a whole bunch of huge names. It mostly focuses on him and his family the and I think the high highest profile name in the family would probably be George Lopez, who people know, but you know mostly you know, not huge names in this I like that. I like it when they have like relatively unknown so you're
not worried about, oh what other shows that they've been. And I think sometimes the big names pull you out of the movie from just enjoying the ex Yeah, that that is true sometimes, And I think that's the case with the villain here, played by Susan Surrandon, who I don't think necessarily fits in this character. Yeah, I it's a it's a kind of strange casting choice. I think. I mean, she's fine, but I think the fact that it Susan Surrandon takes you out of it a little bit. I
don't think you hear Susan Surrandon was fine very often. She's so great. Yeah, no, she is. I mean she she's a great actress. It's just it feels a little bit out of place here. And the basic story is Zelamarla going and plays him, who is a recent college grad. He returns home to his home of palmera city which is kind of a stand in for for Miami, and he things aren't going well for his family. They're they're issues, They're losing their home, u the father just had a
recent heart attack which she didn't tell him about, and things. He needs to make money and do some stuff, and he unexpectedly finds himself in possession of this ancient relic of alien biotechnology called the Scarab, which fuses with him and he becomes this blue beetle superhero and he goes off to fight evil.
And you know, it's got a lot of the same beats that you could you've come to expect from these comic book movies, but it is so steeped in Latino culture that it brings this really fresh perspective to the genre, a genre that can feel a little bit stale at this point. It's surprisingly emotional, which I really enjoyed. Emotional among all the usual comic book silliness that you know we've come to expect from a film like this. Do you mean
emotional like you're crying, Yeah, exactly. You know that's what happened at the Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three. I was bawling during that movie. Well, and then so then I think it's very possible that you could be bawling during this one too, because there are some There are several big emotional moments, and Guardians was a very emotional movie as well. Overall, this is about the strength of family and that really kind of shines through. Uh
And I you know, I liked it. I'm not gonna say I loved it, but I liked it. There's there's a weird eighties thing to the movie, which just kind of doesn't really make sense as to why it. I guess the director just really likes the eight and that really kind of comes through, but there's no real sense to it rhyme or reason. We've seen a lot of eighties stuff in movies. I think at this point we can kind of leave that to the side. But overall, I liked it,
and I think people are going to connect with it. Okay, are we going to be bawling when we go see Strays? I didn't get a chance to see Strays, so I don't know if that's going to be the case this weekend too. Yes it is, and but I don't think bawling is necessarily what they're going for. It is a hard R rated comedy which is about a bunch of dogs who can talk and or at least talk to each
other. And it's not animated. It's actual, live action, real dogs, you know, So they did whatever they put the peanut butter in the mouths or you know, whatever they do to get the mouths moving, probably Cgi at this point, but Will Ferrell voices Reggie, who's kind of a naive and optimistic Border Terrier who's abandoned by his low life owner, Doug, and Reggie is trying to get back to Doug, not really knowing that Doug just really kind of sucks until he's kind of made to realize that by a
Boston Terrier, a foul mouth to Boston Terrier who is voiced by Jamie Fox. So you have that, then you have a bunch of you know, talking, l rated talking dogs. So you know, I think that'll be for some people. It'll probably won't be for others. It's getting mixed reviews, but overall most are saying that it's pretty funny. Okay, well, I think you know what, it might be a good week. We can to go to the theaters because it's supposed to be cloudy tomorrow and then we're
supposed to get of course, because Hillary is heading our direction. Yeah, and just make sure that the theater had the air conditioning is working at the theater that you go to. It was not at mind really and not at least for the first hour or so, which was not a pleasant experience. That would be miserable. What do you do at that point? You know, either, like I had to watch the movie, but it just it was not the most comfortable. Okay, Yeah, so check before you go
in. You know what I do. I go to the Eye Pick and the Look Cinemas. Okay, so there's a little recliner, there's a little food, and if it is hut and body, I can have a cocktail. I will always go for the recliner. But most of those recliners these days their leather seats, So combine that with no air conditioning and you're in for a sticky movie. Okay. Jason Nathans, and thanks so much for your review of Blue Beetle Tyler. Tyler Sawton said it was good, but
don't expect it to be a marvel good exactly. Yep, yes, correct, I would agree with that. This is also this is a DC movie. This is the first movie the DC is changing everything they've hired new people to James gunn To, who was the director of Guardians of the Galaxy, which made you to make the whole DC universe more marvel like. This ended up being the first movie as a part of that. So we'll see where it goes from here. All right, Thanks again, Jason, We'll talk
to you soon. Take care. Hurricane Hillary has grown to a Category four storm off the Pacific coast of Mexico, could be the first tropical storm to hit southern California in eighty four years. Forecasters say there could be significant impacts, including severe flooding ahead of Maui County's Emergency Management Agency, who didn't sound warning sirens as wildfires swept through, has resigned. He says he was afraid
residence hearing an alarm would have fled inland toward the flames. The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV Producers have met again working to find a way to end the writer's strike. The CEOs of several major studios are planning to meet today to talk about next moves. If thirty five, we're gonna be talking to the host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp, and in continuing with our fun Friday theme. We've got a little trivia game so we can play along at home or in your car. At six oh five,
it's handle on the news. The head of the emergency Management Agency, as I mentioned from Mawick County, has resigned a search cruise continue to search for the remains of more than a thousand people still missing. Okay, this weekend, great opportunity for you to add to your family if you're looking for a new fur baby. We got to go to Pasadena Humane to meet some of the dogs and cats and even rabbits available for adoption. So just know that
a cat named Mo joined us for our interview. Not Mo, Kelly, Mo kitty get it? Okay? Yeah, so he was jumping up and down. He was exploring. So when I seem kind of distracted, that's why. So let's say good morning to the PR and communications manager at Pasadena Humane, Kevin McManus. If a mee king with wake up call, we're at the Pasadena Humane Society. You know what, this is much better than a couple of seconds ago. The dogs are lovely, but boy they're loud.
Yeah, I've got Kevin McManus here with us, and Kevin is with the Humane Society and tell us about the special event we have going this weekend that may enable you to take home a cat like this. Yeah, we're having a free adoption event on Saturday the nineteenth. It will run from ten am to two pm here at the Shelter three sixty one South Raymond here in Pasadena. All dogs, cats, kittens and critters can be adopted at no charge. We're expecting a whole lot of people to come out. It's our
Clear the Shelters adoption event. So if you have space in your home for a four letting friend, please come out and adopt one for free on Saturday. And so it's free. Like you guys take care of all the spaying, neutering, all of that, that's correct. Yeah, you have to provide the home, that's right. We even give you a carrier to take your cat home or at least for your dog. But yeah, all the
pets are Spade new neard, micro chipped and have age appropriate vaccines. Okay, And summer months that's when you really need to do the Clear the Shelter events because they get really crowded. Why did they get so crowded in the summer, that's a great question. We're kind of at the tail end of kitten season, so we've had lots and lots of kittens all throughout the summer. We still have lots and lots of kittens. We do. We just saw a lot of where are you going? Even guys like mo he's only
about maybe seven eight months now. But you know, dogs as well. We just in the summer, there's always a little bit of an uptick. I think it's, you know, a time when people are moving and their pets get displaced, especially the last year. Okay, so we have we do have some puppies and kittens, but let's talk about adults. Because adult dogs are great. They're already trained, they're already a little calmer, and
they make wonderful additions to your family. And I noticed that I saw a lot of pit bulls or pit bull mixes, and oh my god, they're so beautiful and they were so friendly. Pit Bulls are good dogs. They are. Yeah, yeah, there are no bad dogs. But you know, I think pit bulls have four years and years and years had this really bad reputation. It's you know, we say it over and over again,
it's it's not the dog. It's the person who's trained the dog. We do, you know, we look at every dog's behavior and make sure that it is going to be a safe adoption for the community. That's our job as a socially conscious shelter. So if a dog, regardless of breed, is showing you know, aggressiveness or you know, tendencies that we would be you know, worried about, uh, then we wouldn't make that dog available
for adoption. Pit Bulls some of the sweetest dogs that we I've met here in the over you know, the decades that I've worked here have been pitbulls. You know, they're they're great, great dogs for the most part, and yeah, they get a really bad rap. Okay. And so once again, the adoption event is this Saturday. You do do you need to make appointments? How do you do that? Yeah, we will have a whole lot of people here, we anticipate, So my advice is to try
to arrive early that we opened the doors at nine. In the past when we've had these adoption events, we've had people lining up, you know, an hour before. That makes me very happy. It's great, it's wonderful. But having said that, have a look at our website, which has update pictures of all of the animals. I have a couple in mind because you know, if the first person in the door adopts the dog you had your heart set on, you should have a backup plan. Okay, is
it first come, first serve? Okay? Great? So if you come down to adopt to the shelter Fastinating Maine Society the Saturday, you could be going home with one of these, with one of the Oh it's gonna say, one of those where'd she go? Oh? Okay, will you get this nester? And also if you want to check out other shelters that are also doing clear the Shelter events this month, it's clear the Shelters dot com.
And for that information you can check the wake up Call page on KFI AM six forty dot com and case you didn't get a chance to write it down, also check out my instagram at Amy k King and also at KFI AM six forty for some fun videos and the interview so you can see that little adorable mo kitty who hung out and disrupted our interview. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room
a little rumbly. This morning, a magnitude three point earthquake hit near Hemmett. The shaker at four forty seven am was centered four miles south of Hemmett. News brought to you by American Vision Windows. Another bus from Texas carrying migrants has arrived at Union Station in downtown LA. Mayor Bass's office says the bus that arrived yesterday was carrying forty migrants from Brownsville Tech. It had fourteen
families, including twelve kids. The LA Welcome's Collective says about twenty nine people came from Venezuela. Others traveled from Columbia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. More than three hundred asylum seekers from Texas have arrived on eight buses in LA since June fourteenth. A former Anaheim City councilman says another federal guilty plea tied to a shady Angel Stadium deal is not the end of the city's
corruption. Federal prosecutors say former Mayor Harry Sadu has agreed to plead guilty to multiple corruption charges tied to the now dead twenty twenty Angels stadium sale. Assistant US attorney Joseph McNally says Sadu compromised Anaheim's negotiating position by providing confidential information in secretly working to influence the city's decision making process. Court records alleged to Do was caught on tape demanding one million dollars in campaign donations for his help pushing
through a stadium deal that was beneficial for the team. Former Anaheim councilman Jose Moreno opposed the deal. We should still be very weary as Harry Sadu did not work alone and was working with interest and with the executive staff that are still in place today. Reno says, it's all about millions of dollars in campaign donations. The Angels got their piece that they wanted. Disney is at
the center of all of this funding the hotel and tourism industry. We're also part of this political coordination to control our cities politics, the Angels says. The dous plea offers no evidence of wrongdoing by the team. Disney declined to comments. To Do is Do back in court later this month. In Anaheim, Corbin Carson k if I News, we're doing the fun thing today because everything's so heavy this weekend indictments, flash and flash and flash, mobs of
smash and grab robbers and the wildfire and all of that stuff. So let's have some fun with our house whisperer waking up to the host of Home on KFI, Dean sharp Amy. Hello, so we're going I'm doing great. We're having fun this Friday. Yes, So we're starting today with some architectural trivia so you can play along and home too. Okay, exactly, just fun. Fact, we're gonna extend this into tomorrow morning show on Sunday.
We're gonna be talking about fences and walls and hedges in your backyard, not just the stuff on the perimeter of the yard, but how to utilize those elements inside your yard to create destinations and a little bit of romance and all sorts of good stuff. The right way to use those features in your yard. But tomorrow and right now, just some trivia, just to have fun, just to lighten the load a little bit. Absolutely, Okay, let's go all right, Are you ready? Score? Uh? No, I
never keep score. I don't hold grudges and I don't keep score. So there you go. Oh are you a participation trophy guy? No, No, I'm not actually no, it's just you know, it just doesn't matter today. Okay, how about this, how about what is totally wrong with the columns of the White House and just about every other house with columns. They're Greek. I don't know, they are Greek. I'll tell you what's wrong. They're white. They're white. This is such a weird thing for
me, but it's true. Okay. So the style is called Neoclassic,
right, neoclass or Greek revivalism, some people call it. It started back in the fifteen hundreds with now a just an absolute legendary architect, Andrea Palladio, and it continued on and of course at the founding of our country, when we were going through the Enlightenment and deciding, hey, we want a democracy, and so let's hearken our architecture back, especially our government buildings, back to the ancient Greeks, who've you know, first invented democracy, all
that wonderful stuff, right, But we were basing all of that appearance off of these ruins Greek and Rowan ruins of marble columns, white marble columns. But in latter years, of course, we discovered that the Greeks and the Romans both painted their columns over with bright, beautiful colored paints, and we didn't know that at the time. No one knew that at the time.
So the entire genre of Neoclassical and Greek revivalist architecture is technically incorrect in that it was all white on white on white, because all we saw were these ruins that have, after you know, two thousand years, been stripped of their paints. Okay, so they painted over white marble. They painted over white marble. Yeah, that wasn't the construction of the marble was the was the was intended because it was a material that they had readily and it was
going to last for a long time time. But they were very bright, vibrant, beautifully painted structures. Okay, well, I'm just gonna say I'm glad we didn't know that, because I don't think purple and orange pillars on the White House would look good. I wouldn't it though, No, Okay, okay, all right, but there you go. There you go. That's an entire field of genre of architecture that got it wrong because we got
the archaeology wrong. Yeah, okay, so there you go, all right, Next one, why do so many Southern homes have wrap around porches because they need a place to have the rocking chairs. Uh that's true, Yes, the best true. I love the rocking chairs on Southern porches. I
know, right, aren't they just the most romantic thing imaginable. The technical reason is that because of the heat I wrap around porch on the first floor windows provided shade for all of the first floor windows, and that that allowed them to open up those first floor windows and the upstairs windows and kind of, through a convection effect, draw in as heat escaped out of the second floor windows, cooler porch air got drawn in through through the first floor windows
and essentially did its job of air conditioning the house. Okay, alright, alright, what's the next one. How about this? Have you ever seen those little fence railings up at the top of an old Victorian home, like way up on the roof, righty things that don't do anything? Yeah? Yeah, So what is that thing? I don't know. It's to keep the squirrels from jumping, it would seem. So. It's actually called a
widows walk. It's a flat roof at the top of an Italianate Victorian home and it was name a Widows Walk initially because the idea is that's a flat roof up there, there's a railing that you could stand there. And it was the idea of the wives of mariners on the northeastern coast standing up on that roof looking out to see for their husbands to come home. Ah, and often their husband's taken by the sea. Therefore they became widows and it got named the Widows Walk. Okay, okay, I want to do this
one. All right, Which of the three little pigs houses should you build in California? All right, there you go. Okay, so what are your options. You've got straw, you got sticks, and you got bricks. Okay, okay, which one do you think? Uh? Probably uh? Straw? Uh no? Oh okay, straw very very fire prone. Oh okay, good point. Not a good idea. I'm thinking of earthquakes.
And that's why I didn't say bricks. Okay, Well, you were absolutely right about that, because so the proper answer is if you were you know, if the big bad wolf is southern California environment, then you want to build your house out of sticks, which is what we do. Actually nowadays, the actual style are the the term for a standard home that's built out of two by four lumber and is called stick framing. Stick framing is strong, but it allows some flexibility in the walls. Our walls can flex
and move back and forth during an earthquake. Something that we realized very early on when we brought a lot of East Coast architecture out here with brick and stone is that brick and stone buildings, as strong as they are, they have no flex in them. And so when the ground starts moving, they don't just crumble. Actually they explode. The pressure builds up in the wall and they just completely blow out. So we don't want straw because fires,
and we don't want bricks because earthquakes. So our best option sticks. That's the way to go. Okay, we got time for one more. Okay. This is something everybody can relate to. What did most architects before the nineteen seventies think was completely unnecessary to put in southern California homes air conditioning? Uh? No, air conditioning would have been nice, that would have been and a lot of them had air conditioning exterior wall insulation. Oh yeah.
Pre nineteen seventies houses, typically in Southern California, tract houses no insulation in the exterior wall. Is that because we thought of insulation as a thing for cold exactly. It was a complete misunderstanding of the value of insulation for hot weather. We just thought, well, you know, you insulate because you know, you put a code on when it gets cold, that's when you insulate. And it's not cold in southern California, so we don't need insulation,
so just let the walls just be. And of course now we know that that is a complete misnomer, and I harp every single weekend. It seems like at some point or another about the value of increasing the insulation in your home, because what you really want is to you know, create kind of a you know, a thermal mug out of your home, which it keeps things hot when you want to keep a beverage hot, and keeps it
cold when you want to keep it cold. The whole idea of insulation is to separate the environment inside from whatever's going on outside, so that you can have essentially the opposite if you want, and it goes both ways. And that was just a huge misunderstanding of insulation. Okay, So basically what you're saying is we should all create a little yetti exactly. If your home is a yetti, you are in the best possible of circumstances for all kinds of
weather. Okay, and you're gonna be doing more American Architecture trivia on your show tomorrow morning from six to eight correct, and again, of course, Dean Sharp Home with Dean Sharp on Sunday from nine to noons. You have two chances to catch them. Thanks so much for catching up with us, Dean. Thanks Amy. The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV Producers have met again working to find a way to end the writers strike.

And we're just under a month from a Hispanic Heritage Month, but this is an amazing experience for you. It's like burlesque, so it's kind of a mashup for you burlesque
wrestling. Yeah, so there's a whole experience to it. You've got a live band, you have live singers. It's not just a WWE thing that you might see it so far. This happens at the Mayan Theater in downtown LA and it's actually been going since twenty two thousand and two, so it's huge. They also do a version of it in Orange County, So this is something if you've not experienced it, you can check that out tomorrow night, and it's a great time. It is twenty one and over, so

So okay, those are just a few of the things you're going to hear on this weekend with Nick coming up tonight at eight o'clock on Later with mo Kelly. And of course you don't only get paying events with this Weekend with Nick, you also do a special on things that are ending this weekend, and I'll also call Last

This mansion is unhinged. These ghosts definitely don't want to leave. Death lurks around every corner. God give us a break. And there's so many bad people in the world haunt them, amen, I do like surprise, is anybody else seeing this The Haunted Mansion? Of course, the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. It's
about nine hundred ninety nine happy haunts. This movie stars Owen Wilson, la Keith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Tiffany Hattish, Danny DeVito. Plus there's a few surprises of some stars you might not know are in the movie. So I'm going to say that the movie is good. I don't think it was great. If you are a fan of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, you're
going to appreciate a lot of the visual stuff. That's lots of so called easter eggs because there are pieces of the movie where they literally replicate the ride. So if you're a fan of that, that's a really cool thing. The visual effects are amazing. The story is pretty. The story is interesting, but it felt a little bit forced to me. And I think the movie went too long. I'm not I think it was like two hours fifteen
minutes and it was like about fifteen minutes too long. So you know, there are nine hundred ninety nine happy haunts in the Haunted Mansion, but as the movie starts, they're not happy at all, and that's how the movie starts. Like I said, it's good and I think since the weather's turning wonky this weekend, I think it might be great to go and take in a movie. This would be a good one if you don't want to see Barbie again.
