HOUR 2 (07/15) – Shannon and Andy welcome KTLA's Rachel Menitoff to relive the cockroach that crashed her live shot before sitting down with LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. They discuss what Los Angeles learned from hosting the World Cup, whether the city is prepared for the Super Bowl and Olympics, staffing and technology challenges facing the LAPD, and the department's efforts to reclaim MacArthur Park from open-air drug activity and homelessness. The hour wraps with a conversation about why people willingly wait in long lines for the hottest restaurants and whether the wait has become part of the experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
