It's k IF. I am sixtyand you're listening to the Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Itis the Conway Show. All right,
ding dong everybody. I think everybody'smaxed out with politics for a while,
so we're gonna start with something alittle different. We have Alex Stone,
Oh God almighty, to talk aboutBoeing. Oh I can't do that either.
(00:23):
Man is Alex with us? Alexwith us? But I can't do
any more of the Boeing stuff.You have anything else going on? Well?
You know, I did realize today, and I'm sure you've heard this
before, how you are Doug mHoff's doppelganger. That's right. Watching him
speak today, I went, wow, jam right there. Yes, he
stole my act. That guy.What's wrong with that? Dude? Take
(00:46):
your glasses off if you were inlaw, I know. But he's got
What a cush job he's got,you know, just sitting there in that
house watching ESPN and having you know, room service all day. That's pretty
cool. Hey, So so notBoeing. But Delta is still struggling with
that big outage. Yeah, soyou know that on Friday when everything fell
(01:08):
apart, it was Delta, American, United Frontier, Spirit and Sun Country
for the most part, and Southwestand Jet Blue kind of avoided it.
Seems like they don't have the crowdStrike software and they got the Blue Screen
of Death, and that is everythingfrom where they dispatched their flights from it
(01:29):
at headquarters to the check encounters tothe screens at lax and at airport saying
you know, group one boarding orcheck encounter or bag check. It was
everything, and they are dealing withwhat every company is. When I came
into the office today, one ofmy computers was the blue Screen. It
had to come in and sit downand for five minutes physically go click like
(01:51):
like like on the keyboard and changethings around in the with crowd strike and
update the download the new updated,and then everything was back. But they've
got to do that with every oneof their computers, and today Delta said
that around half of the computers andthe company globally our Windows based computers that
were running crowd Strike, and thateveryone They've got to have somebody physically sit
(02:12):
down and do the updates. Soit's taking a while. But we heard
from some aviation analysts today saying thisis a little crazy and that United and
American have been able to pretty muchget back up to speed. American today
seventy three canceled flights, that's onepercent of their flights. Delta today nine
hundred and sixteen canceled flights. Ooh, and Sarle sucks, yeah, one
(02:36):
six hundred and fourteen delayed flights Today. Forty two percent of Delta's flights today
are delayed and twenty four percent arecanceled. That is bad, four or
five days after this thing went down, that they haven't been able to get
back online. Listen to this guyin Salt Lake sitting. I found out
that my flight was canceled, andI looked at the line of about six
(02:57):
hundred seven hundred people give or take, I don't know, waiting in line
for Delta at that particular terminal,and I said nope, and I found
a hotel, and then I cameback today to give it another shot.
And then he came back and itwasn't seven hundred people. It was still
really long. We have been inline for four hours and we're almost to
the front to get to where wewanted to go. And the hubs for
(03:19):
Delta Atlanta, Minneapolis Detroit, LaguardiJFK New York that they've had the most
cancelations of any airports in the worldto day, so it's going to take
time. You don't want they catchup. How do they actually catch up
where they have that many flights canceled? And that's the thing, you know,
Typically what an airline has to dotim is kind of do a reset
day and say forget about it.Those crews that are in Johannesburg that have
(03:42):
to get to LA to be readyto go tomorrow morning, that they have
to kind of scrub everything for aday. Maybe they're doing that today,
No, they haven't said that theyare, so then they kind of start
fresh. But you've still got allthese people from the last four days that
aren't where they need to go.And when planes are full any way,
what plane do you put them on? So Delta put out an update a
(04:03):
couple hours ago they say that they'regoing to extend a travel waiver that if
you have a flight coming up onDelta and you want to change it,
you get a one time ability tochange it. And the lay you do
that those who are stuck are gettingfood in a hotel, vouchers and if
people have spent their own money toget a rental car, take a bus,
or eat whatever they've had to dothat they will go through those eligible
(04:26):
expenses and pay them back. Butit's going to be a while. While
they moved the planes to the rightcities and Chris, they were also Delta
was going to make some big announcementtoday. They kept emailing out for the
last week that the twenty second wasgoing to be the day they had to
email out today. And whatever thatannouncement is, if it's a new router,
new type of plane, or whatever. They're canceling that or delaying it
(04:46):
for now, saying that they can'tdo it today. They got to get
everything back on track and they'll doit some other time. You know,
Delta is saying when I was growingup, is Delta is ready when you
are remember then? Yeah? Evidentlynot anymore, No, not today.
Delta now is kind of the premiumairline. At one point is United,
It's been other airlines. Right now, Delta is the one that prides itself
(05:08):
on. You know, you gointo the Delta clubs and it's like you're
in a high end hotel. Andthey got the years ago and everybody's pretty
drastic that, you know, andthey're trying to be the premium product up
in Delta one and really give offthat look right now, it's a mess.
And Atlanta's airport so like city,all the hubs, even lax got
(05:30):
outside, people camped out, theygot crazy crying kids with you. It's
a mess. Yeah, it's theworst, and you know what, it
ruins your whole vacation. You couldhave a great week at I don't know,
disney World, Disneyland, whatever,but on that way back, if
you miss a flight, then yougot to stay at a hotel and then
you gotta wait line for four hours. It kills your whole vacation. Oh
absolutely, and then work is madat you. Yeah, exactly. Some
(05:54):
people are sleeping in the check inarea at the airports because they can't get
a hotel. They're in cities wheremaybe there aren't a lot of hotels and
everything's full now, so it's it'sa mess. Hold on, Bell gave
me this, Uh what's the Ican ask him that. Come on,
ask me, all right, what'swhat's uh the New Hall? You're close
(06:15):
to New Hall, right you are? What's the swingers scene out there?
John and Belly are a little afraidof Well you took the front and then
actually that is a Stevenson ranch thing, and I uh may be very close
to location wise that at times crackthe door on the garage, I think,
and at Salt Creek if you putthe keys on the table, that
(06:38):
is the symbol right there. Billiojust threw something at me. Come on,
come on, man, you gottaexpand out of Irvine. But if
you put that no outside and crackyour garage door, watch out and there's
the upside down pineapple. Yeah that'selsewhere. I don't I haven't seen too
many of those. Okay, allright, so let me give this to
Bellio. So the up the nomount side and the cracked garage is Swinger
(07:01):
City. That is what it is. And if you go to Salt Creek
and put the keys on the table, that is allegedly the other one.
Really yeah, oh, I gotto write these downs restaurant. That's a
great one. Yeah, man,So innocent guy who just left his keys
out there, you know, allof a sudden, somebody sits down next
to him, Like I remember Iwas at Disneyland. It's the first weekend
(07:24):
in October. Is Gay Day orGay Weekend. I don't if they still
do that. But when my daughterwas young, she was like three years
old, and if you were maroon, you're in the club. But there's
a you know, a couple ofguys who just happened to put on a
maroon sweater from Kansas City with awife and two kids, and all of
a sudden, you know, they'regetting a bang done so or they had
usc stuff on and it was gettingbare. Yeah, all right, man,

(08:09):
He was a little familiar, wasn'the familiar? He gave us three
sure shots the crack garage, theno outside, and the keys on the
table at Salt Creek. God Almighty, I've never heard of them things.
I never have either, but I'mgonna try two of them tonight. Wife's
(08:31):
out of town. Man, ohman, Bellio, I think you found
your home, New Hall. You'relistening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I AM six forty are Wehave a standoff LA Sheriff's Department, a
standoff in this heat. Oh boy, oh wow, Lee, Lancaster.
(08:56):
There is a suspect that is nowbarricaded along Avenue ten here in Lancaster.
They have the road shut down atGadsden Avenue as the Special Enforcement Enforcement Bureau
tries to coax this a at allcosts for putting life from here. Seven.
I'm Chris Christie. Eight. Ohthat sucks. Chris Christie's out there
with ABC News. Let's find outthe weather here in Lancaster. What these
(09:18):
cops are having to deal with?That nut out there all right, Lancaster
one oh two, one hundred andtwo, excessive heat warning right now,
one hundred and two, tomorrow oneoh four, then one oh five,
one oh four, one hundred doesn'tget down to ninety three until Sunday.
So Sunday you can break out yourparkas and warm up near a fireplace because
(09:43):
it's gonna be a scorch you're outthere. Yeah, in Lancaster, they
call that the Upper Desert, thehigh Desert for people just moved to LA.
That's the high desert, and thelow desert is the Palm Springs area.
And I imagine the definite difference inout two is probably, I don't
know, maybe two thousand feet,I would guess. I don't know,
(10:03):
Maybe that's right or wrong? Whoknows? Or do they mean high as
in like more northern maybe, orhigh as in meth You know that's possible
too, well, that's probably yeah, both of them. Yeah, but
yeah, the high desert is Lancaster, Apple Valley, Palmdale Lake, Los
Angeles, and the low desert PalmSprings and the salt and sea in that
(10:26):
whole run. I know that'd beinteresting to find out what the altitude difference
is though, the alta difference betweenPalm Springs and Lancaster, I would guess
it's between two and three thousand feet. That's just my guess. What the
hell? But the Burbank or I'msorry, the San Fernando Valley, the
high today ninety two, not bad, not bad, ninety two, tomorrow
ninety three, ninety five, ninetythree, and then it gets all the
(10:48):
weight all the way down a weekfrom tomorrow to eighty two degrees. So
maybe the summer's over starting next Tuesday. Is that possible. I don't know,
Probably not. We'd like to thinkthat. Okay, let's get the
latest in the White House. What'sgoing on. Everyone's talking politics. Everybody's
got their opinion of what's going onwith Biden, with Trump, with Harris,
(11:11):
the haul Rock. President Harris hasreceived these ringing endorsements from several top
Democratic leaders. I think they meantVice President President Harris has received these ringing
endorsements from several top Democratic leaders.She ultimately needs the support from just under
two thousand delegates to officially become theparty's nominee. Now just under one month
away from its convention, Wow,Vice President Kamala Harris hits the campaign trail
(11:35):
now as the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, Harris posting on social media, it's
the first full day of our campaign, so I'm heading up to Wilmington,
Delaware later to say hello to ourstaff in HQ. One day down,
one hundred and five to go.Together, We're going to win this.
Today at a White House event forstudent athletes, her first public comments since
(11:56):
President Biden withdrew from the race,with a salute to her boss all right,
here we go. Little action outof Kamala Harris. In one term,
he has already surpassed the legacy ofmost presidents who have served two terms
in office. Republican Vice presidential nomineeJD. Vance started his first full week
(12:16):
on the GOP ticket campaigning with thesolo event in his hometown near Cincinnati.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,for four years of Joe Biden's presidency or
whoever actually is calling the shots inJoe Biden's White House? Are we ready
to re elect President Donald J.Trump again? Vance shared the stage with
running made former President Trump in Michiganover the weekend, pulling the crowd as
(12:39):
they're now forced to change course.So who would you like to most run
against? If you or USh?If we want to win? Ready,
Kamala Harris crooked Joe Biden? Allright, I don't think we have to
(13:01):
go too much further. President Biden'steam says he plans to campaign and battle
ground states very aggressively with Vice PresidentHarris as soon as his doctor gives himthing
all clear from COVID. So wehave one hundred and five or so days
left. I don't know. I'msomewhere around there, and then maybe,
just maybe we can all relax andtake a deep breath and go back to
(13:22):
our normal lives where we're not inundatedwith this information allfing day, all day.
Don't go on vacation anymore, becausethe second, the day after you
left for vacation, all hell brokeloose the day literally less than twenty four
hours after I took my first weekof vacation in all year, and bang
(13:43):
Trump gets hit by a bullet.And then later that week, eight days
later, Biden resigns. All onmy week off. Kind of crazy,
kind of fun, uh nutty,all right, that's what's going on in
the world of politics. You don'treally have to consume you yourself in it.
I don't think it's healthy. Ithink it's sort of like social media.
A little bit is fun. Butman, when you can try you
(14:07):
dominate your life with that kind ofstuff, it can wear on you.
It can wear on you, man, it really can't. So we're gonna
try to keep it to a minute, and we'll give you the you know,
the facts. We'll do a lotmore local news because I have an
opinion. When we come back,I'm gonna share it with you on local
news. Okay, I'm an opinionon local news, including the station that
I think you're gonna find spot on. I thought about it over the week,
(14:28):
and I think I'm onto something.You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.Then of a pursuit that they were showing
on Channel four. Somebody ripped offa U haul and driving around maybe somebody
else's crap. You all filled withsomebody else's stuff. Who knows. I
(14:50):
was in Portland for the last week. My wife's from there. We're gonna
visit family and friends. I enjoythat. And at night I always watched
the local news, and I thinkit's my wife or my daughter said,
God, even when you go onvacation, it's all about news, huh.
I said, well yeah? Andmy wife said, why why are
(15:11):
you so interested in that? AndI thought about it for a couple of
days. I'm like, I'll getback to you, all right. Just
let me watching this. Well,just look, if you could step aside.
I can't see through you here,but but I have a theory.
And Crozier, you've been a newslonger than I have, But I have
a theory that local news, whetherit's TV or whether it's radio, brings
(15:35):
us together. We we all havesomething in common. We want to know
what's going on around us. Youknow. So when you turn on the
news, whether it's the station orTV, you see the the you know
the crime report, and you wantthe first thing you ask when you hear
a store is broken in, howclose was it to me? Everybody wants
(15:56):
to know is how close it is? An edict in our news room.
Can't speak for other newsrooms, butin our newsroom we get to the where
as quickly as possible in a story. Oh is that right? I didn't
know that to help people sort ofconnect and relate it to them. Okay,
all right, well I'm dead onso far you are, And then
we have we share things in common. I know Angel and Michael Michael O'Brien,
(16:19):
Uh, they do the traffic andand if you're stuck in that traffic
jam, they're talking about you.It makes it a little less, you
know, uh, excruciating a littlemore tolerable. At least somebody knows you're
in it. Angel and Michael O'Brienknow you're in it, and they and
you know he's flying overhead or Angel'stalking about it, and it makes it
(16:41):
it makes it a little easier tobe stuck in traffic knowing that other people
know that you're what you're going througha company. Yeah, I like that.
Yeah. And it tells you whyyou're sitting in traffic. That's right,
That's exactly right. Not that anybodyyou know can do anything about it,
but it tells you. You knowwhat's up ahead, what's ahead of
you you can't see. And thenyou've got the sports on this station,
(17:03):
on the sports station next door,on the Dodger station on TV, you
know, channel two, four,five, seven, nine eleven, and
and people in Los Angeles, weall, you know, we all root
for the majority of people in LaLa is a little tough though, because
there's so many transplants, but weall root for the Dodgers, the Lakers,
the Kings, the Rams, youknow, the Chargers, the Angels,
(17:26):
and and so we sort of havethat in common as well. And
then what a lot of people AndI think this is the biggest draw.
And I'm not and I'm surprised thatit doesn't get more attention, but I
think the biggest draw in local news. It's why we do it here,
at least we try to do it, and I know they do it a
lot on TV. Is the weather, you know. Rick D's when Rick
(17:47):
D's was on in the morning,was the number one show in LA and
he used to have a saying,talk about the weather. They'll never change
the station, you know, Andthat's probably true. And so I think
local news again, whether it's TVor or radio, brings us together.
Whether we're all watching a chase together, or there's a fire burning or there's
a flood going on and we tellyou about it. You want to know
(18:08):
where it is. You want tohow close it is your house, whether
you see kids reunited with their parentsor a bear that's loose in Arcadia.
We all have the same shared commoninterest of we live here and we want
to know what's going on local eventsas well, you know, whether it's
a parade for the July Parade orwhatever it is. But it's also one
(18:29):
of the reasons why we don't doa lot of politics, because when I
watch Channel two, four, five, seven, nine or eleven and they
go to politics, it angers me. It angers me, and I don't
like to be angry when I watchthe news. I like to just watch,
you know, idiots. I enjoyedwatching idiots, but it's one of
the reasons why at least, youknow, we don't really cover a lot.
(18:49):
Like if you go to Boston orNew York, almost every single day
when you're listening to radio or watchingTV, they'll talk about local politics.
They'll talk about mayor adams, theytalk about what's going on with them.
They do a lot of local politicsin Boston, New York and Chicago.
But man, we never, wevery rarely talk about La City Council almostre
you know, almost never. Itdoesn't bring people together, it just separates
(19:11):
them. So that's my theory thatlocal news, again, whether it's TV
or radio, it brings people together. We all live here and we all
want to know what's going on inour area. I think it was George
Carlin that said, you know,when you turn on a TV and you
see, oh my god, there'sa fire burning and there's five thousand people
(19:32):
dead, and you're like, whereis that. Oh, it's you know,
it's overseas, oh too far awayto care about. But if it's
downtown, you're like, hey,honey, get the kids in the car,
we're going to go look at thisand that happened. Remember the first
Interstate Building. I don't know ifyou were out here, Crows when that
happened, but the big first Interstatebuilding in downtown LA caught on fire.
(19:52):
I think it was the twenty firstor twenty fifth floor caught on fire,
and there was glass dropping everywhere.It was a major, major fire alarm
fire. If that's the biggest alarm. I don't know if the alarms,
but if that's the biggest one,it was a major fire. It was
about three or four hundred firefighters onit trying to put it out. They
thought the building might collapse at somepoint. And it was in I think
it was in the eighties, earlyeighties. It was a month before I
(20:15):
got out here. What was it, May fourth, nineteen eighty eight?
Eighty eight? Wow, okay,what a big year. Eighty eight was
Man who Dodgers win? Dodgers won, the Lakers won? Yeah, big
big ass year. And and sowhen that fire happened, I was watching
TV. I was littleing with mywith my brother Jake, and we were
watching TV and they broke in thefirst Interstate building is on fire. The
(20:37):
first thing we did, we gotthe car. We went down to look
at that. We drove down.Look, oh yeah, I wanted to
see what was going on. Welived in Burbank at the time. Get
in the car, We're going tosee this. You know, there was
glass flying everywhere. They closed itdown for like seven square blocks because glass
would pop off and then it wouldfloat down and it was going everywhere.
(21:00):
And that was a major, majorfire, probably the biggest fire I remember
in downtown LA. And the firstthing I did is I want to get
that car and go look at it, and so my brother did too.
You know how many people died?I think it was it zero one?
One guy? One guy? Wasit custodian? A maintenance work Yeah,
a maintenance worker. Yeah. Theelevator he was riding opened onto the the
(21:22):
twelfth floor. Yeah, I doremember that now, Yeah, do you
remember a maintenance worker. I hadsome rather bad luck that day. But
what did you say? That waseighty eight eighty eight, Because that's thirty
six years ago, and I rememberlike it is yesterday. I remember exactly
what corner we were on. Thecops backed this up once, then they
backed this up again. There's thehundreds of people sitting around, idiots like
(21:45):
me just watching that fire because veryrarely do you see a skyscraper on fire,
and in Los Angeles, whether there'sfiremen are having a trapes up twenty
flights of stairs. Did they saywhat floora would start on. I'm think
it was a twentieth or twenty fifthor something, but I don't know.
But that was a That was awild fire. First Interstate Bank building on
(22:07):
fire in downtown LA. He hasit destroyed five floors, not saying which,
Yeah, at one point they thoughtthat building was going to collapse.
They thought it was it was sohot in there that they could have that
building could have collapsed and come downon me and my brother because we're two
idiots standing there looking at it.You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI Am six forty. SamSmith is in the news, by the

hours, and then in the eveningyou say, oh, I can't take

All right? Bulk sharing people liketo bulk share. Never heard that
term before, but I imagine it'sgoing to Costco and buying an item in
(26:21):
bulk that you can't possibly use,so you share it amongst friends. That's
my guest. Really, at bigbox stores like Costco or Sam's Club,
families are joining forces, splitting upbulk grocery purchases to save on their spending.
How about that cheap that cheap groupin the parking lot? All right,

(27:03):
family of five in New Jersey.It's a strategy that's helped reduce food costs
by nearly seventy five dollars every week. When I buy a book, sometimes
it's too much, so I'll shareit with Christy. Christy coordinate wonderful observation.
When I buy a book, sometimesit's too much. That's what they
call bulk. Christi coordinates vulk groceryruns with her mom Janet. They split
(27:27):
the bill and then divvy up foodlike canilum and bananas. God, what
a simple family. I love it, really, God, say exactly which
foods they're divvying up? Going overon a Sunday to split up costco crap?
Wait, how is she doing thatagain? She's just splitting it up.
She's buying it in bulk, soI'll share it with Christy. I'll
(27:49):
share it with Christy. Is thatwhat Christi coordinates vulk grocery runs with her
mom Janet. They split the billand then divvy up food like canilup nanas.
Okay, how do you divvy upcandle? Christie? Does I think
they? Janny? They split thebill, Janet? Does I think Let's
see Christy coordinates. Christy runs withher mom Janet, and then Janet picks
(28:14):
up that candle up and splits itup. In my mind, I'm like,
this something that I can wait andwe can get at Sam's Club because
I rather not spend that price fromthe grocery store if I can help it.
New government data shows grocery prices arestabilizing after rapid increases the past three
years, but the typical family isstill spending. Maybe maybe if the groceries
stabilized, it will kill this gettogether that they have in the in the
(28:37):
parking lot, these people buying bulkand splitting it up, splitting up a
candle. Maybe it's not a badidea. We should do that. We
should all bring over to Costco onceevery month and bring all your crap in
here, and then we'll just divvyit up. You know, I think
it's gonna do you already do that? Accuses me, You accuse me of
(28:57):
bringing in crap that we don't eatanymore. You either bring stuff that you
tasted and didn't like, or youfound in the cupboard and it's stale,
and you're like, hey, Irun on this stuff, And then like
everybody's like these are like stale,but these are gross. You do that.
That's totally true. See I doit. I know abody. It
(29:19):
was one of these almost expired foodsbeating the monkeys at a zoo. Here
you go, here you go,we eat it. I know you guys
are grab it and you go thereand then you throw your feces at me.
Oh, I'm sorry once I did. I know, I know,
man, you ask me not talkabout it. Robin gets pissed. I
get it all right. We're liveon KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
(29:42):
demand on the iHeart Radio app.Now you can always hear us live on
KFI AM six forty four to sevenpm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeart Radio app
It's k IF. I am sixtyand you're listening to the Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Itis the Conway Show. All right,
ding dong everybody. I think everybody'smaxed out with politics for a while,
so we're gonna start with something alittle different. We have Alex Stone,
Oh God almighty, to talk aboutBoeing. Oh I can't do that either.
(00:23):
Man is Alex with us? Alexwith us? But I can't do
any more of the Boeing stuff.You have anything else going on? Well?
You know, I did realize today, and I'm sure you've heard this
before, how you are Doug mHoff's doppelganger. That's right. Watching him
speak today, I went, wow, jam right there. Yes, he
stole my act. That guy.What's wrong with that? Dude? Take
(00:46):
your glasses off if you were inlaw, I know. But he's got
What a cush job he's got,you know, just sitting there in that
house watching ESPN and having you know, room service all day. That's pretty
cool. Hey, So so notBoeing. But Delta is still struggling with
that big outage. Yeah, soyou know that on Friday when everything fell
(01:08):
apart, it was Delta, American, United Frontier, Spirit and Sun Country
for the most part, and Southwestand Jet Blue kind of avoided it.
Seems like they don't have the crowdStrike software and they got the Blue Screen
of Death, and that is everythingfrom where they dispatched their flights from it
(01:29):
at headquarters to the check encounters tothe screens at lax and at airport saying
you know, group one boarding orcheck encounter or bag check. It was
everything, and they are dealing withwhat every company is. When I came
into the office today, one ofmy computers was the blue Screen. It
had to come in and sit downand for five minutes physically go click like
(01:51):
like like on the keyboard and changethings around in the with crowd strike and
update the download the new updated,and then everything was back. But they've
got to do that with every oneof their computers, and today Delta said
that around half of the computers andthe company globally our Windows based computers that
were running crowd Strike, and thateveryone They've got to have somebody physically sit
(02:12):
down and do the updates. Soit's taking a while. But we heard
from some aviation analysts today saying thisis a little crazy and that United and
American have been able to pretty muchget back up to speed. American today
seventy three canceled flights, that's onepercent of their flights. Delta today nine
hundred and sixteen canceled flights. Ooh, and Sarle sucks, yeah, one
(02:36):
six hundred and fourteen delayed flights Today. Forty two percent of Delta's flights today
are delayed and twenty four percent arecanceled. That is bad, four or
five days after this thing went down, that they haven't been able to get
back online. Listen to this guyin Salt Lake sitting. I found out
that my flight was canceled, andI looked at the line of about six
(02:57):
hundred seven hundred people give or take, I don't know, waiting in line
for Delta at that particular terminal,and I said nope, and I found
a hotel, and then I cameback today to give it another shot.
And then he came back and itwasn't seven hundred people. It was still
really long. We have been inline for four hours and we're almost to
the front to get to where wewanted to go. And the hubs for
(03:19):
Delta Atlanta, Minneapolis Detroit, LaguardiJFK New York that they've had the most
cancelations of any airports in the worldto day, so it's going to take
time. You don't want they catchup. How do they actually catch up
where they have that many flights canceled? And that's the thing, you know,
Typically what an airline has to dotim is kind of do a reset
day and say forget about it.Those crews that are in Johannesburg that have
(03:42):
to get to LA to be readyto go tomorrow morning, that they have
to kind of scrub everything for aday. Maybe they're doing that today,
No, they haven't said that theyare, so then they kind of start
fresh. But you've still got allthese people from the last four days that
aren't where they need to go.And when planes are full any way,
what plane do you put them on? So Delta put out an update a
(04:03):
couple hours ago they say that they'regoing to extend a travel waiver that if
you have a flight coming up onDelta and you want to change it,
you get a one time ability tochange it. And the lay you do
that those who are stuck are gettingfood in a hotel, vouchers and if
people have spent their own money toget a rental car, take a bus,
or eat whatever they've had to dothat they will go through those eligible
(04:26):
expenses and pay them back. Butit's going to be a while. While
they moved the planes to the rightcities and Chris, they were also Delta
was going to make some big announcementtoday. They kept emailing out for the
last week that the twenty second wasgoing to be the day they had to
email out today. And whatever thatannouncement is, if it's a new router,
new type of plane, or whatever. They're canceling that or delaying it
(04:46):
for now, saying that they can'tdo it today. They got to get
everything back on track and they'll doit some other time. You know,
Delta is saying when I was growingup, is Delta is ready when you
are remember then? Yeah? Evidentlynot anymore, No, not today.
Delta now is kind of the premiumairline. At one point is United,
It's been other airlines. Right now, Delta is the one that prides itself
(05:08):
on. You know, you gointo the Delta clubs and it's like you're
in a high end hotel. Andthey got the years ago and everybody's pretty
drastic that, you know, andthey're trying to be the premium product up
in Delta one and really give offthat look right now, it's a mess.
And Atlanta's airport so like city,all the hubs, even lax got
(05:30):
outside, people camped out, theygot crazy crying kids with you. It's
a mess. Yeah, it's theworst, and you know what, it
ruins your whole vacation. You couldhave a great week at I don't know,
disney World, Disneyland, whatever,but on that way back, if
you miss a flight, then yougot to stay at a hotel and then
you gotta wait line for four hours. It kills your whole vacation. Oh
absolutely, and then work is madat you. Yeah, exactly. Some
(05:54):
people are sleeping in the check inarea at the airports because they can't get
a hotel. They're in cities wheremaybe there aren't a lot of hotels and
everything's full now, so it's it'sa mess. Hold on, Bell gave
me this, Uh what's the Ican ask him that. Come on,
ask me, all right, what'swhat's uh the New Hall? You're close
(06:15):
to New Hall, right you are? What's the swingers scene out there?
John and Belly are a little afraidof Well you took the front and then
actually that is a Stevenson ranch thing, and I uh may be very close
to location wise that at times crackthe door on the garage, I think,
and at Salt Creek if you putthe keys on the table, that
(06:38):
is the symbol right there. Billiojust threw something at me. Come on,
come on, man, you gottaexpand out of Irvine. But if
you put that no outside and crackyour garage door, watch out and there's
the upside down pineapple. Yeah that'selsewhere. I don't I haven't seen too
many of those. Okay, allright, so let me give this to
Bellio. So the up the nomount side and the cracked garage is Swinger
(07:01):
City. That is what it is. And if you go to Salt Creek
and put the keys on the table, that is allegedly the other one.
Really yeah, oh, I gotto write these downs restaurant. That's a
great one. Yeah, man,So innocent guy who just left his keys
out there, you know, allof a sudden, somebody sits down next
to him, Like I remember Iwas at Disneyland. It's the first weekend
(07:24):
in October. Is Gay Day orGay Weekend. I don't if they still
do that. But when my daughterwas young, she was like three years
old, and if you were maroon, you're in the club. But there's
a you know, a couple ofguys who just happened to put on a
maroon sweater from Kansas City with awife and two kids, and all of
a sudden, you know, they'regetting a bang done so or they had
usc stuff on and it was gettingbare. Yeah, all right, man,
(07:46):
you are the best. Thanks forcoming on. Enjoy your summer.
We'll talk you real soon. Igotta take my nome out front right now,
you got it? Okay, takecare? All right? There he
goes Alex Stone with ABC News.Crozier, Is he is he on holder?
Is he gone? Buddy? Thatguy knows a lot of swinger chips.
(08:09):
He was a little familiar, wasn'the familiar? He gave us three
sure shots the crack garage, theno outside, and the keys on the
table at Salt Creek. God Almighty, I've never heard of them things.
I never have either, but I'mgonna try two of them tonight. Wife's
(08:31):
out of town. Man, ohman, Bellio, I think you found
your home, New Hall. You'relistening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I AM six forty are Wehave a standoff LA Sheriff's Department, a
standoff in this heat. Oh boy, oh wow, Lee, Lancaster.
(08:56):
There is a suspect that is nowbarricaded along Avenue ten here in Lancaster.
They have the road shut down atGadsden Avenue as the Special Enforcement Enforcement Bureau
tries to coax this a at allcosts for putting life from here. Seven.
I'm Chris Christie. Eight. Ohthat sucks. Chris Christie's out there
with ABC News. Let's find outthe weather here in Lancaster. What these
(09:18):
cops are having to deal with?That nut out there all right, Lancaster
one oh two, one hundred andtwo, excessive heat warning right now,
one hundred and two, tomorrow oneoh four, then one oh five,
one oh four, one hundred doesn'tget down to ninety three until Sunday.
So Sunday you can break out yourparkas and warm up near a fireplace because
(09:43):
it's gonna be a scorch you're outthere. Yeah, in Lancaster, they
call that the Upper Desert, thehigh Desert for people just moved to LA.
That's the high desert, and thelow desert is the Palm Springs area.
And I imagine the definite difference inout two is probably, I don't
know, maybe two thousand feet,I would guess. I don't know,
(10:03):
Maybe that's right or wrong? Whoknows? Or do they mean high as
in like more northern maybe, orhigh as in meth You know that's possible
too, well, that's probably yeah, both of them. Yeah, but
yeah, the high desert is Lancaster, Apple Valley, Palmdale Lake, Los
Angeles, and the low desert PalmSprings and the salt and sea in that
(10:26):
whole run. I know that'd beinteresting to find out what the altitude difference
is though, the alta difference betweenPalm Springs and Lancaster, I would guess
it's between two and three thousand feet. That's just my guess. What the
hell? But the Burbank or I'msorry, the San Fernando Valley, the
high today ninety two, not bad, not bad, ninety two, tomorrow
ninety three, ninety five, ninetythree, and then it gets all the
(10:48):
weight all the way down a weekfrom tomorrow to eighty two degrees. So
maybe the summer's over starting next Tuesday. Is that possible. I don't know,
Probably not. We'd like to thinkthat. Okay, let's get the
latest in the White House. What'sgoing on. Everyone's talking politics. Everybody's
got their opinion of what's going onwith Biden, with Trump, with Harris,
(11:11):
the haul Rock. President Harris hasreceived these ringing endorsements from several top
Democratic leaders. I think they meantVice President President Harris has received these ringing
endorsements from several top Democratic leaders.She ultimately needs the support from just under
two thousand delegates to officially become theparty's nominee. Now just under one month
away from its convention, Wow,Vice President Kamala Harris hits the campaign trail
(11:35):
now as the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, Harris posting on social media, it's
the first full day of our campaign, so I'm heading up to Wilmington,
Delaware later to say hello to ourstaff in HQ. One day down,
one hundred and five to go.Together, We're going to win this.
Today at a White House event forstudent athletes, her first public comments since
(11:56):
President Biden withdrew from the race,with a salute to her boss all right,
here we go. Little action outof Kamala Harris. In one term,
he has already surpassed the legacy ofmost presidents who have served two terms
in office. Republican Vice presidential nomineeJD. Vance started his first full week
(12:16):
on the GOP ticket campaigning with thesolo event in his hometown near Cincinnati.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,for four years of Joe Biden's presidency or
whoever actually is calling the shots inJoe Biden's White House? Are we ready
to re elect President Donald J.Trump again? Vance shared the stage with
running made former President Trump in Michiganover the weekend, pulling the crowd as
(12:39):
they're now forced to change course.So who would you like to most run
against? If you or USh?If we want to win? Ready,
Kamala Harris crooked Joe Biden? Allright, I don't think we have to
(13:01):
go too much further. President Biden'steam says he plans to campaign and battle
ground states very aggressively with Vice PresidentHarris as soon as his doctor gives himthing
all clear from COVID. So wehave one hundred and five or so days
left. I don't know. I'msomewhere around there, and then maybe,
just maybe we can all relax andtake a deep breath and go back to
(13:22):
our normal lives where we're not inundatedwith this information allfing day, all day.
Don't go on vacation anymore, becausethe second, the day after you
left for vacation, all hell brokeloose the day literally less than twenty four
hours after I took my first weekof vacation in all year, and bang
(13:43):
Trump gets hit by a bullet.And then later that week, eight days
later, Biden resigns. All onmy week off. Kind of crazy,
kind of fun, uh nutty,all right, that's what's going on in
the world of politics. You don'treally have to consume you yourself in it.
I don't think it's healthy. Ithink it's sort of like social media.
A little bit is fun. Butman, when you can try you
(14:07):
dominate your life with that kind ofstuff, it can wear on you.
It can wear on you, man, it really can't. So we're gonna
try to keep it to a minute, and we'll give you the you know,
the facts. We'll do a lotmore local news because I have an
opinion. When we come back,I'm gonna share it with you on local
news. Okay, I'm an opinionon local news, including the station that
I think you're gonna find spot on. I thought about it over the week,
(14:28):
and I think I'm onto something.You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.Then of a pursuit that they were showing
on Channel four. Somebody ripped offa U haul and driving around maybe somebody
else's crap. You all filled withsomebody else's stuff. Who knows. I
(14:50):
was in Portland for the last week. My wife's from there. We're gonna
visit family and friends. I enjoythat. And at night I always watched
the local news, and I thinkit's my wife or my daughter said,
God, even when you go onvacation, it's all about news, huh.
I said, well yeah? Andmy wife said, why why are
(15:11):
you so interested in that? AndI thought about it for a couple of
days. I'm like, I'll getback to you, all right. Just
let me watching this. Well,just look, if you could step aside.
I can't see through you here,but but I have a theory.
And Crozier, you've been a newslonger than I have, But I have
a theory that local news, whetherit's TV or whether it's radio, brings
(15:35):
us together. We we all havesomething in common. We want to know
what's going on around us. Youknow. So when you turn on the
news, whether it's the station orTV, you see the the you know
the crime report, and you wantthe first thing you ask when you hear
a store is broken in, howclose was it to me? Everybody wants
(15:56):
to know is how close it is? An edict in our news room.
Can't speak for other newsrooms, butin our newsroom we get to the where
as quickly as possible in a story. Oh is that right? I didn't
know that to help people sort ofconnect and relate it to them. Okay,
all right, well I'm dead onso far you are, And then
we have we share things in common. I know Angel and Michael Michael O'Brien,
(16:19):
Uh, they do the traffic andand if you're stuck in that traffic
jam, they're talking about you.It makes it a little less, you
know, uh, excruciating a littlemore tolerable. At least somebody knows you're
in it. Angel and Michael O'Brienknow you're in it, and they and
you know he's flying overhead or Angel'stalking about it, and it makes it
(16:41):
it makes it a little easier tobe stuck in traffic knowing that other people
know that you're what you're going througha company. Yeah, I like that.
Yeah. And it tells you whyyou're sitting in traffic. That's right,
That's exactly right. Not that anybodyyou know can do anything about it,
but it tells you. You knowwhat's up ahead, what's ahead of
you you can't see. And thenyou've got the sports on this station,
(17:03):
on the sports station next door,on the Dodger station on TV, you
know, channel two, four,five, seven, nine eleven, and
and people in Los Angeles, weall, you know, we all root
for the majority of people in LaLa is a little tough though, because
there's so many transplants, but weall root for the Dodgers, the Lakers,
the Kings, the Rams, youknow, the Chargers, the Angels,
(17:26):
and and so we sort of havethat in common as well. And
then what a lot of people AndI think this is the biggest draw.
And I'm not and I'm surprised thatit doesn't get more attention, but I
think the biggest draw in local news. It's why we do it here,
at least we try to do it, and I know they do it a
lot on TV. Is the weather, you know. Rick D's when Rick
(17:47):
D's was on in the morning,was the number one show in LA and
he used to have a saying,talk about the weather. They'll never change
the station, you know, Andthat's probably true. And so I think
local news again, whether it's TVor or radio, brings us together.
Whether we're all watching a chase together, or there's a fire burning or there's
a flood going on and we tellyou about it. You want to know
(18:08):
where it is. You want tohow close it is your house, whether
you see kids reunited with their parentsor a bear that's loose in Arcadia.
We all have the same shared commoninterest of we live here and we want
to know what's going on local eventsas well, you know, whether it's
a parade for the July Parade orwhatever it is. But it's also one
(18:29):
of the reasons why we don't doa lot of politics, because when I
watch Channel two, four, five, seven, nine or eleven and they
go to politics, it angers me. It angers me, and I don't
like to be angry when I watchthe news. I like to just watch,
you know, idiots. I enjoyedwatching idiots, but it's one of
the reasons why at least, youknow, we don't really cover a lot.
(18:49):
Like if you go to Boston orNew York, almost every single day
when you're listening to radio or watchingTV, they'll talk about local politics.
They'll talk about mayor adams, theytalk about what's going on with them.
They do a lot of local politicsin Boston, New York and Chicago.
But man, we never, wevery rarely talk about La City Council almostre
you know, almost never. Itdoesn't bring people together, it just separates
(19:11):
them. So that's my theory thatlocal news, again, whether it's TV
or radio, it brings people together. We all live here and we all
want to know what's going on inour area. I think it was George
Carlin that said, you know,when you turn on a TV and you
see, oh my god, there'sa fire burning and there's five thousand people
(19:32):
dead, and you're like, whereis that. Oh, it's you know,
it's overseas, oh too far awayto care about. But if it's
downtown, you're like, hey,honey, get the kids in the car,
we're going to go look at thisand that happened. Remember the first
Interstate Building. I don't know ifyou were out here, Crows when that
happened, but the big first Interstatebuilding in downtown LA caught on fire.
(19:52):
I think it was the twenty firstor twenty fifth floor caught on fire,
and there was glass dropping everywhere.It was a major, major fire alarm
fire. If that's the biggest alarm. I don't know if the alarms,
but if that's the biggest one,it was a major fire. It was
about three or four hundred firefighters onit trying to put it out. They
thought the building might collapse at somepoint. And it was in I think
it was in the eighties, earlyeighties. It was a month before I
(20:15):
got out here. What was it, May fourth, nineteen eighty eight?
Eighty eight? Wow, okay,what a big year. Eighty eight was
Man who Dodgers win? Dodgers won, the Lakers won? Yeah, big
big ass year. And and sowhen that fire happened, I was watching
TV. I was littleing with mywith my brother Jake, and we were
watching TV and they broke in thefirst Interstate building is on fire. The
(20:37):
first thing we did, we gotthe car. We went down to look
at that. We drove down.Look, oh yeah, I wanted to
see what was going on. Welived in Burbank at the time. Get
in the car, We're going tosee this. You know, there was
glass flying everywhere. They closed itdown for like seven square blocks because glass
would pop off and then it wouldfloat down and it was going everywhere.
(21:00):
And that was a major, majorfire, probably the biggest fire I remember
in downtown LA. And the firstthing I did is I want to get
that car and go look at it, and so my brother did too.
You know how many people died?I think it was it zero one?
One guy? One guy? Wasit custodian? A maintenance work Yeah,
a maintenance worker. Yeah. Theelevator he was riding opened onto the the
(21:22):
twelfth floor. Yeah, I doremember that now, Yeah, do you
remember a maintenance worker. I hadsome rather bad luck that day. But
what did you say? That waseighty eight eighty eight, Because that's thirty
six years ago, and I rememberlike it is yesterday. I remember exactly
what corner we were on. Thecops backed this up once, then they
backed this up again. There's thehundreds of people sitting around, idiots like
(21:45):
me just watching that fire because veryrarely do you see a skyscraper on fire,
and in Los Angeles, whether there'sfiremen are having a trapes up twenty
flights of stairs. Did they saywhat floora would start on. I'm think
it was a twentieth or twenty fifthor something, but I don't know.
But that was a That was awild fire. First Interstate Bank building on
(22:07):
fire in downtown LA. He hasit destroyed five floors, not saying which,
Yeah, at one point they thoughtthat building was going to collapse.
They thought it was it was sohot in there that they could have that
building could have collapsed and come downon me and my brother because we're two
idiots standing there looking at it.You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI Am six forty. SamSmith is in the news, by the

(24:52):
bag. What they call him inskiing is that's a blood bag. So
you know that bag where you knowthe two guys do snow plow and they
bring your ass down the mountain.You know, they put you on a
toboggan. Yeah, I guess theycall it a blood bug in England.
I don't know. I couldn't doit obviously. I got taken down in
like a blood bag almost. Itwas the worst. But it's like it's
a permanent thing, so it's likea little I don't know how to explain
(25:15):
it. It's like it's in betweenyour bones. It helps you jump and
spring around. But it completely rippedand I decided to go down the non
surgical route, but I couldn't walkbasically for a mile. There's a good
idea. He ripped his acl andhe's like, I'm not going to go
with the surgical route. We'll justto ride it out here in my blood
bug. And for Sam, therecovery was more than just the physical.
(25:37):
It was awful. It was thefirst time I'd ever not been able to
move, and I was I washolding on a bit of whey and I
was just very anxious and been strugglingwith anxiety years. So I used it
as an excuse to get my togetherand so I started to. I've started
icing every morning. I started doinglike get into my Stuckadian rhythm. And
(25:59):
a big part of that is likeexposure to your eyes. So in the
morning you try and get as muchsunlight in your eyes in the first two
hours, and then in the eveningyou say, oh, I can't take
it anymore. This guy, Ican't take it? Yeah, who cares?
All right? Bulk sharing people liketo bulk share. Never heard that
term before, but I imagine it'sgoing to Costco and buying an item in
(26:21):
bulk that you can't possibly use,so you share it amongst friends. That's
my guest. Really, at bigbox stores like Costco or Sam's Club,
families are joining forces, splitting upbulk grocery purchases to save on their spending.
How about that cheap that cheap groupin the parking lot? All right,
I got toilet paper? Who wantsthree rolls for you? Two for
(26:42):
you? You're gonna need like seven. Man. I've seen you. I've
seen you, buddy. Morisa Vernasplits bulk items in her grocery cart with
her sister Jill. I don't eatforty bags of this toddler snack, like,
do you want to go halfs onit? And I'll just send over
twenty for you, and I'll keeptwenty bags and vice versa for Christy Davies's
(27:03):
family of five in New Jersey.It's a strategy that's helped reduce food costs
by nearly seventy five dollars every week. When I buy a book, sometimes
it's too much, so I'll shareit with Christy. Christy coordinate wonderful observation.
When I buy a book, sometimesit's too much. That's what they
call bulk. Christi coordinates vulk groceryruns with her mom Janet. They split
(27:27):
the bill and then divvy up foodlike canilum and bananas. God, what
a simple family. I love it, really, God, say exactly which
foods they're divvying up? Going overon a Sunday to split up costco crap?
Wait, how is she doing thatagain? She's just splitting it up.
She's buying it in bulk, soI'll share it with Christy. I'll
(27:49):
share it with Christy. Is thatwhat Christi coordinates vulk grocery runs with her
mom Janet. They split the billand then divvy up food like canilup nanas.
Okay, how do you divvy upcandle? Christie? Does I think
they? Janny? They split thebill, Janet? Does I think Let's
see Christy coordinates. Christy runs withher mom Janet, and then Janet picks
(28:14):
up that candle up and splits itup. In my mind, I'm like,
this something that I can wait andwe can get at Sam's Club because
I rather not spend that price fromthe grocery store if I can help it.
New government data shows grocery prices arestabilizing after rapid increases the past three
years, but the typical family isstill spending. Maybe maybe if the groceries
stabilized, it will kill this gettogether that they have in the in the
(28:37):
parking lot, these people buying bulkand splitting it up, splitting up a
candle. Maybe it's not a badidea. We should do that. We
should all bring over to Costco onceevery month and bring all your crap in
here, and then we'll just divvyit up. You know, I think
it's gonna do you already do that? Accuses me, You accuse me of
(28:57):
bringing in crap that we don't eatanymore. You either bring stuff that you
tasted and didn't like, or youfound in the cupboard and it's stale,
and you're like, hey, Irun on this stuff, And then like
everybody's like these are like stale,but these are gross. You do that.
That's totally true. See I doit. I know abody. It
(29:19):
was one of these almost expired foodsbeating the monkeys at a zoo. Here
you go, here you go,we eat it. I know you guys
are grab it and you go thereand then you throw your feces at me.
Oh, I'm sorry once I did. I know, I know,
man, you ask me not talkabout it. Robin gets pissed. I
get it all right. We're liveon KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
