We pay homage to beloved actress and screenwriter Catherine O’Hara, who shocked us all by dying today. There’s a new red flag in the dating world, with 16% of men picking up hobbies just to boost their attractiveness for the ladies. They’re called “the performative man.” Commuters not paying their fair is a big problem throughout the country but none more than in New York City, where flagrant fare beaters don’t like to pay for their travel tickets! What’s Gen Z into these days? Apparently, it’s dive bars, where the drinks are cheap, the light is dim, and the floor is carpeted.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informati

There’s a lot of great dive bars around LA, and especially in the Valley. Would you eat seafood from a dive bar? Meanwhile, one of the agitators downtown has been arrested for using a slingshot against police officers. Don Lemon was arrested today for his invasion of a Minnesota church with anti-ICE protestors on Jan. 8, interfering with others’ right to worship. Lemon claims he was there in his journalistic capacity. While many restaurants in LA stand symbolically with the “ICE out” protestors, they’re unable to close for business on a Friday night, so they’re finding other ways to show solidarity with the protestors. AI music covers and remixes are getting scary authentic. What does this mean for the future? But due to AI, Liza Minnelli is releasing new music. Is watching your favorite team lose worse than heartbreak? There’s a new booze on the market: bear-poop beer.

A couple lost their home of 35 years in the Palisades Fire. The LAFD called and said before the building permit is issued, the couple has to pay for their own fire hydrant on the street. The quote? $35,000!

Apparently, the owner was being investigated by the DOJ for dodgy taxes. We can’t wait for the “Melania” docu-

Not all listeners agree with Mark’s take on the anti-ICE protests — immigration raids are what they voted for, and that’s what they’re happy to be getting. Are the protesters being paid? And if so, by whom? The silent majority speaks! That is, via the KFI talkbacks. When Barack Obama was president, he was known as the “Deporter in Chief,” but he apparently did it in a much less violent manner.

Who knew minor celebrity Mark Thompson went on a date with Sheena Easton to the Kennedy Center! What do you say after a screening when the movie was terrible, but you have to interact with the filmmaker? Disgraced filmmaker Brett Ratner directed the “Melania” documentary.
