You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI A M six forty KFI and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. I was looking in the loud age mod light when my eyes behire any sight for my monster from his lab began to rise, and suddenly, to my surprise, it's time for your morning wake up Call day. It was a graveyard smell. It caught on and flow. Here's Amy King. It's five o'clock on your wake up Call for Thursday, October twenty sixth Good morning, I'm Amy King.

I love a good monster mash. Just days away from Halloween, and we've got lots for you today on wake Up Call. We're gonna be talking about pumpkins because it's Pumpkin Day, so we sent Kiki out and about to go and do all things pumpkin kind of fun. Also, we've got our last boop preview for you this Halloween season, and it's creepy and crawley and I think you're really going to like it. That's coming up at five point thirty

or five thirty five. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Hundreds of law enforcement officers are looking for a forty year old man suspected of shooting up a bar and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine. At least sixteen people were killed last night in the shootings. Dozens more are injured. GM and the United Auto Workers have agreed on a tentative four year contract that will effectively increase wages for workers by over thirty percent. The union president says they won

things no one thought possible. Union members do still have to vote on it. Negotiations are still going on with General Motors and Stilantis. Israeli troops and tanks launched an hour's long ground raid into northern Gaza overnight to strike militant targets. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is preparing for a ground invasion with three hundred and sixty thousand troops massed at the Gaza Strip border. He still won't say when they plan to go in. At six oh five, it's handle

on the news. The House can finally get back to business now that a new speaker has been elected. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Please respond to the town of northn It's going to be a spare time recreation by an active shooter incidents. Police in Lewiston, Maine, are trying to find a firearms instructor considered a

person of interest in a mass shooting that killed at least sixteen people. Dozens more were hurt last night when the man opened fire at a bowling alley and at a bar. This man says he was in the bowling alley when the shooting started. I just booked it down the lane and I slid basically into where the pins are and climbed up in the machine and was on top of the machines for about ten minutes until the cops got there. The shooter took

off. State police say the man they're looking for was recently treated at a mental health facility. Two people have been arrested in connection with the shooting outside a hotel in Crestline in the San Bernardino Mountains. One person was hurt in the shooting early yesterday near Lake Gregory. It may have happened after a fight at the hotel. The driver accused of killing four Pepperdine University students in Malibu

is facing multiple murder charges. Brazer Bomb is accused of going more than one hundred miles per hour in a forty five mile an hour zone when he hit a parked car, then the students. We lost four young people with a complete life ahead of them for really no reason other than complete and reckless this regard for the life of others. La County d A. Gascone says it's too soon to determine what type of sentence he'll be seeking, but did say

it could be extensive. The driver pleaded not guilty to the charges yesterday. His attorney says he was being chased following a road rage incident. Blake Trolly KFI News. Bomb zawyer also says there were no drugs or alcohol in Bomb's system at the time of the crash. So my client, the twenty two year old young man, zero criminal record, zero traffic violations, has always

been law abiding. Michael Kraut told kfi's John and Can Show yesterday that Bomb was being chased by a man who became outraged at him because he was texting at a stoplight. He says the La County Sheriff's Department has ignored phone calls regarding information in the case, including that Bomb was not really driving over one hundred miles per hour. A man in Victorville has claimed the highest Superlatto plus

jackpot in fifteen years. The California lotteriesays the man bought the ticket from Spring Valley Market in August. The eighty two million dollars prize ended a jackpot rollover that lasted nearly nine months. Let's say good morning now to ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett. It's perfect person for us to talk to as we're getting information about this mass shooting in Maine. Brad, We've got at least sixteen people dead, dozens more injured, and the guy is on the loose.

So what are police doing to try to catch him. So you've got a guy that from the military was a firearms instructor. It strikes me that he really knows what he's doing with that AR fifteen type weapon that appears that he has in the photographs. His ability to shoot literally dozens of people in a couple of minutes, Amy is very reasonable. He picks two locations where that would be easy to do, sadly, and then he, I'm going to guess, disappears into the woods. They found this car about eight miles

from Lewiston in a small town. The search locations look like it's a circle around that community and another eight to ten miles where he is from. If he's on foot, if he's still alive, my guess is they'll probably catch him unless he really knows the wood season well and has gotten beyond their search area. But there's also the possibility that he's dead, which you know, these shooters sometimes take their lives once they and the realization of what they've done

soaks in. Oh okay, that's what I was just going to ask you, was like, if he's still alive. I was wondering if there was any kind of a an exchange of gunfire with police. I don't know if there was at all in this situation, But you're saying as they as they start to realize, oh my gosh, I just went out and opened fire on hundreds of people or dozens of people. Yeah, how am I going to live with myself well again? Or working with sketchy information about his mental

health. But there's certainly been a number of comments that you know that he you know, has been hearing voices that he was maybe hospitalized past summer. So at the very least you're talking about somebody that's a delusional, paranoid, maybe even has illucinations. We'll have to see. All that sort of points you towards somebody who is driven by voices in their head. That doesn't mean

they don't know what they're doing. It just means that the reality of why they're doing it is directed in there by somebody else, or they believe that. But people come in and out of that. So what I'm suggesting is what you just said, is that he has he finally sat down and said, look what I have done, and he took has taken his own life. They'll still find him, it just may take a little longer to find him. Okay. And does the fact that he said he was hearing voices

at some point, does that affect how police look for him? Uh No, because people tend to go where they have some sort of history. I mean, let's face it, it's going to be fairly cold at night in Maine in October. Has he saw shelter someplace? Does he have a cabin

someplace? Does he have friends? You're going to hit every place that he has some history, including relatives, etc. And I would be searching those areas and I think they have aviation units from the FBI and other law enforcement that will have heat seeking devices, so if he's alive and moving, they might be able to spot him that way. Yeah, this man hunt reminded me of another one that was just not too long ago, and I know

we talked about it. It was the escape convict who they were searching for, and they ended up finding him with that heat seeking device. At least that was one of the things that contributed to it, so hopefully they'll catch

him quickly. I was also a little bit surprised when they showed the picture of the guy because I went, well, that doesn't look like a hate that I even say this a typical mass shooter, like you think of them as younger, outcast, but he looked he's a forty year old man, an Army reservist, And so are we seeing more and more atypical mass shooters. Well, I think you have to expand your definition of mass shooters.

Yes, we tend to talk about them that they are younger, but we've had recent mass shootings, particularly in workplace violence, that are this guy's age and even older. I mean, look at the shooter in Las Vegas back in twenty eighteen. Truly, yeah, I mean, you know he's I think it was in his sixties. So you really have to not get so hung up on age, but you really have to get hung up on behavior and what you can track and what you know about. And that's the real

problem. I mean, sadly, we're at the mercy in most of these shootings of people coming forward, family members, work associates, telling law enforcement that we're scared of this guy. He's saying certain things, he's acting a certain way, he's obsessed with weapons, and then have them investigate. Now, the problem with that in rural environments, and nothing against folks who live

in rural environments, there's just not enough law enforcement people. I mean they can barely some of these counties cover reactive stuff, and so chasing leeds of somebody who is acting strange sometimes gets overlooked well. And the other thing, it just reminds me of Minority Report, Like what even if you know that he's saying things and they're worried about him, unless he's actually done something,

they really can't do much. No, I mean unless he's right, if he said I'm going to go shoot up a boweling and Alie tomorrow or in ten minutes, you can do something with that. Nine does not have like California red flag laws, so the law enforcement would not even have the ability if they had enough information to go to a judge and get a court order to seize his weapons. So, you know, a lot of things working against law enforcement when it comes to these type of shootings. Okay, well,

Brad Garrett, thank you so much. I hope they find him quickly. And I don't know that we'll ever know why he did this, but hopefully they'll get him quickly before he does anything else. Thank you so much for your time. Brat awesome, Take care, Amy, all right, talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Negotiators for the Screen Actors Guild say they'll be meeting again today with studio CEOs to try to end the actors strike.

The two sides are supposed to meet yesterday, but the union said it needed more time to review the latest counter offer from studios. The actors' union has been demanding higher wages, protections against the use of actor images through AI, more compensation for successful streaming programs and better health and retirements. Thousands of hospitality workers have rallied in downtown LA to demand higher pay and better benefits.

Workers from about fifty hotels in LA and Orange County picketed in the streets, protesting what they call unfair labor practices. Worker at the Beverly Wilshire Daniel Patino says workers don't just need higher pay, they need better health benefits. They're trying to take them away, you know, they're trying to make them, trying to give us less, you know, instead of improving, we're going backwork. The union, representing about thirty two thousand hospitality workers, gathered yesterday

claiming hotels are using undocumented migrants to replace employees. The La County DA says those claims are being investigated. Chris Sadler KFI News Congress has gotten back to work now that a new House Speaker has been elected. The first vote under Speaker Johnson yesterday was a resolution supporting Israel. The House must also take up

funding for Ukraine, something Johnson has questioned in the past. ABC's Andrea FUJII says Congress also has to fund the government by November seventeenth, or there could be a federal shutdown, and Republicans are eager to resume their impeachment inquiry into President Biden over his son's business dealings. I watched his speech yesterday. I don't know if you got an opportunity to, but they when they elected Mike Johnson, I wanted to see who he was because I had pretty much never

even heard of him before yesterday. And I have to say I was sitting there thinking, I like Mike, Like he said some really cool things. His story was really interesting, that his dad was a firefighter and why he didn't become a firefighter after his dad got severely injured, and he talked about, you know, the stuff about America and the last great Beacon on the

Hill and that kind of thing. And I just sat there with this kind of optimistic feeling, which kind of might be pollyanna ish in the face of how things are in Washington, d C. Right now, and I'm sure it's going to get nasty again very soon, but I'm gonna I'm gonna reserve judgment. I'm going to be optimistic and hope for the best. And I'm glad they finally got that taken care of and they can get back to business. A man hunt is underway and Maine for a man police say shot and

killed up to sixteen people. The shootings happened in Lewiston, at a bowling alley and at a bar and grill. The man's car has been found abandoned. Police have told people in the area to shelter in place and that the guy is considered armed and dangerous. The lawyer for the man charged with murder in the deadly crash in Malibu on pch says twenty two year old Frasier Bomb was being chased and that another driver was trying to run him off the road

when he crashed into and killed four Pepperdine University students. A bat captured at a park in Orange has tested positive for rabies. Orange County health officials say the bat was found last Saturday near the Orange County Zoo and Irvine Park Railroad. Public health officials are urging people to let them know if they or their pets have had any contact with the bat in the area. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Pro Palestinian Demonstrate says we've been telling

you or been happening at campuses all over the US. Governor Ron De Santis says, not in my state. So tis the season for pumpkin spice, pretty much everything, and it's National Pumpkin Day. Everyone's got to celebrate something. So we sent producer Kiki out on a pumpkin journey. Kiki, Hello, tell us what you did on your pumpkin Day? Yeah? I did a lot, and with the amount of time that I had, of course

after work and you know, going to bed, did so much. And of course tis the season, Like you said, started off my entire day with a pumpkin enzyme facial. Oh, oh my gosh, it sounds yummy. It was, so did you lick your face? No? I could not. I didn't want to, like, you know, digest something that I shouldn't. But like the idea of having pumpkin enzyme anything on my face.

What's a pumpkin facial supposed to do? Did they tell you, not necessarily what the pumpkin would do. I think it's just like the scent and like, I don't know what the pumpkin, but I know what the enzyme does, and it's supposed to eat away at the dead skin on your face. And I think the pumpkin put has like some vitamins and stuff in it, so it like additionally adds to the facial. Were you glowing when you

were dy? I was okay. So you did your pumpkin facial and you felt all pampered and then thought, Hey, there's more pumpkin stuff out there, and I'm like to continue that spa journey. You know, I had to go to Starbucks. I had to get my fall treat. I got a pumpkin loaf and the pumpkin foam or pumpkin cold foam Chai t latte with oat milk. Gotta add the oat milk. You know what cracks me up

about Starbucks is I don't know how people remember what their orders are. I you know that order, It's I even forget it and like, but it's your favorite. What is it again? It's the pumpkin cold foam Chai tea latte with oat milk, chi with lots. It's a whole sentence. Well I want to go. I mean it sounds good, so I'll try it. Oh, it's really good. It's like you don't want that heaviness of like a pumpkin spice latte, but you still want like a hint of pumpkin.

I think that's a great alternative. Okay, And so you got your treat, you got your pumpkin loaf, and then what'd you do? Yeah, And so then went and headed over to Trader Joe's. And I think Trader Joe's is a really good place. It's a fucking central. It's literally I love it so so much. So went and got some pumpkins to carve, went and got some treats. So when me and my friend was with me, of course we went and got some treats that so we could snack

on stuff while we carved our pumpkins. We even had to get some treats for her dog, which, of course, like why can't the dog join in in some pumpkin fun? And then they have pumpkin treats for dogs. Yes, they have a pumpkin maple bacon dog treats, and then a couple of other like pumpkin spice biscuits. I'm like, okay, but I mean I they have like other pumpkin like foods, like as a vegetable type, but like this is like pumpkin spice themed. It's really interesting. And then

we went home painted and carved some pumpkins. I my friend painted, I know that's a trend going on right now. Instead of having to gut out some pumpkins, they yes, yeah, but I am, I am. I have to carve a pumpkin. That just very Halloween for me and nostalgic, and of course why not carve a pumpkin? And so did that, even put the pumpkin guts out to dry and clean them off so my friend can roast the pumpkin seeds later. And then finished off the night at eating

some Trader Joe's goodies. Again. We had some pumpkin ravioli. Oh pumpkin Okay, so I gotta put that on my list too. I didn't know Trader Joe's had it. Okay, yeah they do. I mean, you go to Trader Joe's you want pumpkin anything, and I'm pretty sure they'll have it. Okay, there's Kiki's Great Pumpkin Day. Yay. I love it. Thank you so much. You put a lot of ideas in my head. Hopefully you guys got some too. Let's get back to some of the

stories coming out of the kf I twenty four hour newsroom. A man has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a home and studio city and threatening to kill the family for being Jewish. Really say a couple and their four children woke up yesterday to the man yelling free Palestine and killed Jews. They say the husband was able to push the man into the backyard, where officers found him with a kitchen knife. It's believe he stalked the family first. Mayor Bass

has condemned the break in as a vile act of hate. She says it has no place in the city. Driver's been arrested for allegedly hitting and dragging a bicyclist during a fatal hit and run in southeast LA. Investigators say the bicyclist was dragged as the driver of a van continued down several streets for almost a mile. The bicyclist became dislodged at Broadway in El Segundo Boulevard Tuesday morning,

but the driver kept going. La County Sheriff's detectives located video of the fatal collision and were able to get a possible license plate and description of the driver from witnesses. The van was found later the same day, and Felipe Abolos was booked for gross vehicular manslaughter Corbin Carson KFI News. At least a dozen people in San Diego County have gotten sick with salmonella from dairy products. Three people had to go to the hospital. The Health Department says unpasteurized milk

So sounds cool, hey, Nick? We're going to have to go check that

one out. Chargers fans, don't miss NFL Action this Sunday afternoon at Sofi Stadium as the Bolts take on the Chicago with kickoff at five twenty. A limited number of tickets are still available. You can get your tickets to all Chargers home games at Chargers dot com slash tics, and also listen to all the action on ALT ninety eight to seven. Bolt up. Right now, it's time for our last Boo preview of the season. So we visited Boney

Island at the Natural History Museum earlier this month. Super cool, great way to spend an evening. But there are daytime activities too. So when you think of Halloween, you think of mummies and ghosts and witches, haunted houses, and spiders, right, so we decided to go check out the Spider Pavilion. We went out and about and it is a really really cool kind of non traditional Halloween activity. We got to speak with Lisa Gonzalez with the

Natural History Museum. She has a heck of a title that was kind of too hard for me to remember. So, Lisa, what is your title? Project Manager of Living in Vertebrates? So basically anything here that involves live bugs. She's the bug lady, but right now she's the spider Lady. So we are in the Spider Pavilion, which is absolutely a beautiful little garden, and as you walk around, you don't see a lot initially, and then your eyes train on something that shows up, and it's spiders and they're

everywhere. That's right, So tell us what kind of spiders we're finding here in the spider Pavilion. Okay, so the stars of the show or the orb weavers. These are spiders that make orb weavers. I love that they call them orb weavers, or I've not heard that term before. Okay, these are spiders that make a web like Charlotte's web is kind of classic iconic spider web. And you're right, most of them are just sitting really still

in their web. So you walk in and you don't notice them at first because they're very zenu So tell me when you come to the spider Pavilion, how many spiders approximately are there here? So two different ways to answer that. There's different types, different species, right, So we have about fifteen

or so different species of the orb weavers that we release in here. But then if you start to look at all the other little types of spiders that are in the bushes or even some that are in the leaf litter, I would say that number is at least double maybe even triple that. So there's different kinds. But then you're talking about individuals, right, Just a number, Just a number, okay, So we release about three hundred to four

hundred spiders in here. Okay, So I'm gonna tell you too when you come to Spider Pavilion something that's really interesting, because I was worried that we would feel like we were inundated with spiders, and you don't. It's a beautiful little garden. Yes, So webs are kind of over your head, so you have clear paths, clear walkways. Yes. And the other thing is we need to talk about a misconception about spiders, and that is that they will like run at you and jump at you. But that's all hollywood

stuff, right, that is all hollywood stuff. If you are an animal that's only this big, like even a big spider is way smaller than us, right, and you're that size and you start jumping out at an animal as big as a person, you're probably not going to survive that interaction, so that is not something that's advantageous to them. It's just not something that they do. They choose their battles, they choose yes, yeah, and

they usually choose peace. Right, So they they will if they feel something close to their web and they feel vulnerable, they're gonna run and hide. They're gonna tuck in, They're not gonna and they don't even have the ability to leap. So there's certain kinds of spiders, like jumping spiders, those little ones that can do little hops, but these types of or beavers there,

their bodies aren't built to leap like that. So it's just not even something that they can do, and it's not something that they should do would want to do, because it's not safe for them. Okay, so when can people come and see the spiders at the Spider Pavilion. Well, open now, we're going to be open till November twenty sixth, Okay, so

people have a chance. It's open during regular museum hours and they just need to go on the website and make sure that they get a time ticket because we have to make sure that we only allow certain number people in entire time, so that way you have the ability to roam around and not be super

crowded. And the other cool thing is that you have people in here helping and answering questions, and so you know, if you ever feel a little bit nervous, there's somebody here who can explain it to you and talk you through it. Let me tell you our museum educators their team. They're the

sweetest, most knowledgeable and enthusiastic people. Our museum educators will sometimes even wait at the door and escort people, and we just work with people's come fility because we know that there are a lot of people who are coming in and are working against some preconceived notions and fears that they have about spiders. We're completely understanding of that. So we you know, we have this team of

people, and we also have really excellent volunteers. We have some volunteers that have been here for over twenty years that are out here to help with the public as well. Okay, Lisa, why are you so fascinated with bug? You know, it's hard. I've always loved them. It's kind of like asking someone like why do you think rainbows are beautiful? And you're like, because look at it, it's amazing, Like it's just so much a part of my being that I get more and more obsessed with them the more

I learn about them. And I've been studying them my whole life, like this is my calling, you know. And the cool thing too, is that Lisa has been so great because I was a little nervous to come in here, and she's like, do you want to hold this spider? And so she walked me through it and talked me through it. So I think that that's great. So if you're at all nervous about spiders, don't because they're they're here to help. And the spiders, I'm telling you, are

so beautiful. And what a great family activity around Halloween that's not big and lots of amusement rides and food and all that stuff. It's just like a really cool, educational, family fun experience and it's really peaceful. It is. I think that's something that people might not expect because sometimes when we, I mean the collective, when we do something where we focus on spiders, we kind of default to the sort of shock value. And this is not

at all what this exhibit is about. It's to help people see the beauty of spiders and to understand that the spiders that surround them are harmless animals, and to have them feel that same level of awe that they would feel if they were looking at a butterfly or some kind of other animal. That's a little bit more you know what we call charismatic. Yep. So that's really what we're here to do. Along with orb weavers. I also got to

meet Marilyn, one of the tarantulas that the spider pavilion. Oh, she was so cool. Okay, we got them. We've got Richard Hunt, who's the chairman of the Electronic Payment Coalition. Richard, good morning, Hey, very good morning to you. All Right, first, before we get started, I want you to tell us what the Electronic Payment Coalition is. Yeah, we are an organization based in Washington, DC to help make sure that the American payment security system is all secure for Americans to be able to

use on a daily basis. Okay, great, So, Richard, seventy two percent of us are going to be using credit cards to buy Christmas presents and other stuff this year. When should we use the cards and when should we not use credit cards? Well, yes, we're now in the holiday season, believe it or not, we have Halloween Thanksgiving and of course all

the many holidays in December coming across. Americans love their credit cards. Americans use their credit cards for access to credit, to make sure they have convenience, It is safe, and it is secure. And yes, America has become a point centric society. They love having their points. In fact, two million people travel to California each and every year using their airline reward points. That's a huge economic boost Americas. Seventy two percent of Americans use their

credit card quite frequently. Just in the minute that you and I have been talking, We've had one hundred thousand transactions processed by Americans using their credit card. Okay, and so points cards are pretty good ones to use, of course they are. People today are now using their points not just for traveling to see their loved ones or traveling to California to pay for the high cost

of gasoline and their groceries at our local supermarket. We know we're in a highly competitive market, so people are trying to reduce their costs across the board. Okay, So, now that so many people are using credit cards, especially during the holiday season, how do we protect our cards and ourselves and our purchases? Yeah, look. The easiest and one post thing to do is pretty elementary. Make sure your password is unique and change your password often.

Unfortunately, there are about two thousand cyber attacks per day in the United States of America people trying to get at your data. So yes, change your password often. Also, make sure you have two way authentication when you log in to your credit cards and look, go to your website of your bank and set up the account system where you get alerts every time a dollar is taken out of your account. These are very simple and easy things to

do for everybody. Okay, and for more information on keeping our credit card safe, because we're going to be using them a lot. Where can we go, Well, you can go let it try to payments coalition dot com. You can go to protect mypoints dot org as well, and contact your local bank to make sure you're safe and secure. Okay, thank you so much, Richard Hunt. Appreciate your time this morning, you bet, thank you. I know I'm going to be using my credit card and but my

goal is going to be to use it and then pay it off. I don't know how successful I'm going to be, but I'm going to try. Here's some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom, Homeless people on skid Row have been breeding dogs to make money, adding to overcrowding and local shelters. Dogs can be seen running through homeless camps, some kept in cages and malnourished. The images have sparked an online petition to get

city officials to address the issue. LA City council woman Eunysas Hernandez is pushing for a pause on breeding permits, but says the other issue lies with understaffed animal shelters. Animal rescue workers say shelters are full and dogs taken from skid row may not be able to be rehomed. Chris Adler KFI News. The driver who allegedly hit and killed four Pepperdine University students in Malibu's been charged with four counts of murder. LA County DA George Gascone says Frasier Bomb knew his

actions were dangerous to human life. Mister Bond was allegedly speeding up speeding a speace of one hundred and four miles an hour on a forty five mile an hour zone on PCH when he lost control of his VMW gascon says Boem hit a car, then the young woman. The young women. The driver's attorney says he has evidence that shows his client was being chased following a road rage incident when he crashed into the students. Last week, Israeli troops and tanks

have launched an hour's long ground raid into northern Gaza overnight. They say several militant targets were hit in order to prepare the battlefield ahead of a widely expected ground invasion. The raid followed a UN warning that Gaza is on the verge of running out of fuel. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says medicine is also in short supply. Only eight trucks of humanitarian aid got into Gaza yesterday. Before the

war, more than four hundred trucks arrived daily. The Gaza strip has been under a complete siege since some AS fighters attacked israel towns, killing hundreds of people and taking hostages. And archaeologists have found five thousand year old wine inside the tomb of an Egyptian queen. A team with the University of Vienna revealed this month the queen was most likely the most powerful woman of her time,

and a huge amount of goods were stored at her burial site. They're still excavating, but found many of the jars were sealed and contained organic organic remnants of wine. Oh, so there's no drink in that five thousand year old wine. Hey, do you play Quirdle Wordle. I've got a group of friends that we all kind of swap messages every day after we play. And

I've got a new obsession. I heard Shannon actually talking about it. From Gary and Shannon, It's Connections. If you haven't tried it out, it's challenging, and if you're really tired and your brain is hurting, don't do it because you actually have to use your brain for it. But it's a kind of a variation on Whirdle and Quirdle I guess, but it's called Connections and just google. It super easy to find and it's sort of another fun

new game. Got to stimulate your brain whenever you can write. This is KFI and KOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County. We lead local live from the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. I'm Amy King.
