| 0:00.0 | KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the I Heart Radio app. |
| 0:06.5 | How are you? We're on from one until four. And then after four o'clock, if you missed the show, John Cobalt's on demand, the podcast. Same show. Just goes quicker. |
| 0:15.8 | We are going to have Tracy Park on in just a moment. Tracy Park is the West Side L.A. City Councilwoman. |
| 0:23.9 | She's the one who replaced Mike Bonin. |
| 0:26.9 | And the first issue that started the ball rolling and led to his downfall was when Bonin arbitrarily approved a road diet on the west side, Ply Del Rey. |

| 0:45.6 | It backed up traffic all over the place. |
