Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
if you got a parking ticket in the city of
Los Angeles, it might be in good shape.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Here Michael Monks is with us. Michael, how you Bob Hey?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
When a start as tim how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Ah? No, Chez Senior.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Indeed, So yeah, you might be in good shape.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
If you've got a parking ticket between twenty sixteen and
twenty twenty, you've been able to run out the clock.
Apparently there's this process in the city for folks who
just can't be found. And these are folks who didn't
just get a parking ticket. For the most part, they
had stacks and stacks of them before vanishing into thin
air and are now too expensive to pursue for the
(00:47):
value of the money. But the money does add up,
so the policy requires city council approval.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So that's what happened today at city Hall, and that's
how I got wind of this.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So why wouldn't they sell that, you know, that big
dead to a debt collector for one hundred and fifty
two hundred grand.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
All of the efforts that they tried to do to
collect on this apparently does not work.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Like I would buy that debt from the city for
five thousand dollars and then I'd go out there and say, hey,
you guys, you know, pay up mothers, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Eight that's a question.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I don't know how deep they go with their collection efforts,
but I mean, we're talking about some of these tickets
being almost eight years old, maybe exactly eight years old,
and they finally gave up, but they do add up today.
They basically said, don't pursue three point five million dollars
worth of violations. That's no small chunk of change now, really, though,
(01:42):
what was shocking to me at least was the number
of quote vehicle registration holders. So these are like the plates,
whose whose name are these plates? And it's only three
hundred and thirty five people who between them had thirty
six eight hundred and sixty seven uncollectible parking site takes.
We're talking about like one hundred, so probably repeat offenders
(02:02):
here were the same.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Violent inspect that man.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I knew a guy at the racetrack who had you know,
like he had seventy and they were all over his dashboard,
so you know, I knew he wasn't paying them, and
he used to park in handicap parking every day and
he get a ticket like once a week or so,
maybe you know, once every other week, and he didn't care.
He was so casual in life that he didn't care
that he had seventy five eighty thousand dollars in parking
(02:27):
tickets lined up.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
He just didn't. It didn't bother him. I love that
kind of casualness.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
And if he's been able to change his name or
move out of state, then he probably never had to
pay it. And you know that there's actually a more
shocking number involved here. You know, the wheels of government
do move slowly. So this was first looked at by
what is known as the Board of Collections Review at
the city. So they look at parking tickets, you know,
those types of violations as well as like taxes and
that sort of thing, back in September of last year.
(02:52):
But because it requires council approval, it had to snake
its way through City Hall all the way until today.
But that's only for the violators who owed five thousand
and are more. This board itself can dispose of those
who owe five thousand dollars or less, and there were
seven hundred and sixty four thousand, seven hundred and thirty
five uncollectible parking citations, three hundred eighty eight thousand, four
(03:13):
hundred two different vehicle registration holders. It's for a total
of one hundred and sixteen million dollars to the city.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Good for that. They just said, never mind, good for them.
So they've dismissed everybody. Now, so it's not just three
and a half million. Well, well that was from September
of last year.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
It was just a number that stuck out because that
doesn't require city council approval. All those folks owed less
than five thousand dollars, so we have to go up
the chain, okay, so I have to notice that. So
it might be over one hundred million with the with
the new skaters. Oh, it totally is over between. These
were approved by this board on the same day last September.
What happened today was the city council gave it the
(03:50):
final lokay to throw them in the trash for the
ones who owed more than five thousand dollars. But in
some we're looking at about one hundred and twenty million
dollars total that's got away.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
With you, my buddy who had all those tickets. And
as a matter of fact, he's not a buddy of mine.
I just know who he is. And I wanted to
say that because if you say we're buddies at the tray,
they're gonna call you all of a sudden. He's banging
on me. Hey you got an extra twenty got thirty
on you. So but he was you know back in
the days where like uh, you know Crocker Bank or
whatever a bank you were, you know, you dealt with
(04:20):
in Kentucky, they would send you a pre approved card
for four or five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You know, they said to everybody, everybody got one.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So he got one, and he quickly maxed it out
with dinners and hotels and you know, all kinds of
liquor store and all kinds of crap. And then the
bank called him, goes, hey, you know you're you're maxed
out at four thousand yos money and he said, I'm
not paying you, and he goes, yeah, but but you
sign this thing saying you'll pay us back. And he said,
well you should have done a credit check on me.
I don't pay anybody nobody gets paid nobody.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You know, you call that a story. I call it advice.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, nobody, but he kept saying it on the phone. Nobody,
nobody gets paid nobody. I pay no body, nobody and that.
And you can go through life like that if you
have that kind of nervous system that you don't think
about it at night, when you go in to bed
or when you wake up. You know, those of us
who went to Catholic school might have different experience. I
can't do it. I can't do it, man. I worry
(05:12):
about all that crap, but I love the casualness of
guys that don't.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I really do. I respect that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I think there's something wrong with them, but I think
there's in a good way. There's something wrong with them,
you know that they just don't care about crap like that.
So that's right. So who is this going to affect?
How many people? Total? Thousands? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, so
the number of people that will What if you recently
got a parking ticket, does that affect you?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
So we're talking about tickets that were specifically written between
July of twenty sixteen and December of twenty twenty and
now what happens is the Department of Transportation reports to
this board and says, look, we tried everything we could
to get these people to pay their tickets and they didn't.
And this amount of money is again only from three
hundred and thirty five violators.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So the one hundred and twenty million, that's a big
chunk of change, you know, for the city to lose
out on.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Stuff like that exactly. Now, it's not money they had,
but it's money they could have had it. So it's
not like this is tax payer money that's been wasted,
although some money was expended certainly trying to collect it.
That's what they're arguing here, is like, we shouldn't spend
any more money trying to find these folks because they
are unfindable as far as we can tell.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That one hundred and twenty million dollar.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I just want to make sure that we're clear that
was everybody every owed less than five thousand or more
than five thousand. It was the people who owed more
than five thousand that required council approval today, and that
was only three hundred and thirty five people owed three
and a half million dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I got a parking ticket the other day and it
was fifty one dollars. I was parked in the you know,
there's street cleaning day, and I screwed up, and so
I went to pay it. And then the very next
day that story comes out there's a scam going on
where you get fake tickets on your Windshiel'm like.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, yeah, I don't know. Maybe I got scammed. Who knows?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, did you pay it?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I paid it, so I know.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, because they tell you pay fifty one dollars before,
you know, August sixteenth, or ninety seven dollars after August sixteenth.
And I couldn't go to sleep without the paying that
stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I hope that's not some scam run by your old track.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I know, I know, I know it sucks, man, But
you're a track guy. You grew up in Kentucky at
the track.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
How many times you've been to Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Only to the derby itself a couple of times?
Speaker 7 (07:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
It's interesting, you know, if you if you live in Louisville,
you don't really go I'm just in the glamorous sense.
If you do live in Louisville, you go to the
infield and if you've ever seen the infield, you know
what a wild and maybe you've read Hunter S. Thompson,
you know it's scary.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We went there in nineteen eighty two. I think it
was Gotta Does Gotta del h Yeah, okay, all right,
you're you're a track guy. And we were in the
infield with the you know, the rug rats and the
you know, the animals, and we had to put a
blanket out. They said, if you spread a blanket out,
people stay away from you a little. So we put
a blanket out, you know, it'll picnic going. And then
two guys inevitably fighting, you know cause it's one hundred
(07:55):
and eight degrees and everyone's drunk, and they rolled across
our blanket where they're fighting, and they left plump of
hair with scalp still attached to it on the blanket.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's my Derby story for you. Pretty uh it's not
pretty fancy. Yeah, not a not a a you know,
a hat or a mint jewlip guy. More like, you know,
hang out with the guys kicking the crap out of
each other in the infield exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
The hair.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, buddy, you got to.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Come back on when we got you know, talk Breeders'
Cup for Kentucky Derby. I know that you're a big fan,
absolutely would love to All right, thanks Mike, Michael Monks, everybody,
great reporter here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So you're off the hook.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
If you got a ticket in LA between twenty sixteen
and twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Maybe, I don't know. It's complicated, the the analogy, you know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Maybe if you're above five thousand, below five thousand, I
don't know, you might be also hooked.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Might be Might you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Burglaries, Burglaries, Burglaries.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh boy, we got more of it, you know, I mean,
just all over the place to find out what's going on.
I mean, there's ten homes just in the San Fernando
Valley that been broken into in the last week or so.
And I know that people who listen to KFI, you're
wanting to keep your home safe and you can't rely
(09:16):
even though. Look, I think Burbank cops are one of
the best forces in the world. The two times that
we've had to call him in the eleven years that
we lived there, they were there in less than once,
one time less than three minutes, and one time like
(09:36):
twenty five seconds, which I thought was really bizarre. There
was a guy breaking into an office and I could
see it through my bedroom window. It's like four in
the morning, and I could see him breaking into an office,
and so I called the cops. I said, he there's
a guy breaking I'm looking at him doing it. And
she said where is And I told her and she
(09:58):
said hold on. I said okay, and literally, while I'm
on hold and I'm not bsking you, twenty five seconds later,
a cop car pulls up, arrest the guy and takes
him away, and she comes back on the phone she said.
She goes, yeah, they're on their way. I'm like, no, no,
they're not on their way. And she goes, no, they're
on their way. I said no, no, they already were here.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They're gone. They got the guy and they left already.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But in La we had Alan Hamilton and yesterday's assistant
chief and they're eighty eight hundred cops on LAPD. They
can't be everywhere. They have patrol from Chatsworth to sam Pedro.
That's La City. Chatsworth is sam Pedro that's got to
be thirty five miles. I don't know what it is,
(10:49):
maybe thirty thirty five miles. And they can't be everywhere,
and so you got to protect your home. You have
to have an alarm system. I don't know who the
f is living in the valley, in the especially in
the hills without an alarm system.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't know who you are. I don't know. I
don't know you. I don't want to know you either.
You have to have alarm.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Plus you have to have security around the house. You
gotta have lights. We have one hundred and thirty five
lights around our house. I counted a couple weeks ago,
one hundred and thirty five lights that are on around
the house, and maybe more now I hung up another string.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm a nut.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
That way, it looks like Dodger Stadium at our house.
And you also have to have really good screens like
those security screens and security screen doors. You got to
try to keep these people out of your home because
once your house is broken into, you lose the security
of your house and it's very tough to get that back. Plus,
(11:47):
if you ask Lapd or Burbank, Glendale, Samey Valley, ask
any of these police officers Huntington Beach. If a guy
breaks into your house, chances are he's coming back. Fifty
percent chance he's coming back with it the next month
because he knows the lay of the land. He saw
stuff he didn't get the first time. He's coming back.
(12:10):
That's a fact. So you got to protect yourself. I
know you might be anti gun. Maybe you have kids
around the house. I get that, but I would sniff
around that area as well again just to see, because
it's your job to protect your family. Like like, I'm
a pain in the ass in my house. I got
(12:32):
the alarm. I got those bars that go from the
handle of the door down to the floor, and it
looks like a like a big crow bar, and it
keeps the door closed in case anyone tries to break in.
And my wife hates him because she's constantly either running
into him or falling over him. And she goes, hey,
can we do without these bars? I said, no, no, no, no,
no no. This is not your job. You have nothing.
(12:54):
You have no say in the security of this home.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
None.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's my job to keep my wife and my safe
in that home. And I don't take input from anybody else.
I don't take input from her. I don't take input
from my daughter, Like I don't tell them what to wear.
They don't tell me how to They don't tell me
how to keep them safe. You know a lot of
people they feel I don't know, like crippled after a
sure a break in, like like you have been violated,
(13:19):
even if you weren't home on one hundred percent. Have
you ever had it happen. It's it's one of the
worst things ever. We had a I'm too paranoid for
it to happen. I'm the guy that's like in my
garage looking through the crack to see who's in the
front yard and stuff. Yeah, but you know, as you
get older, you get pissed. You know, when you're younger,
you get scared when somebody's breaking in. As you get older,
you can't wait to mix it up with them. You know,
(13:40):
you can't wait to get downstairs and you know, game
on with this lad. But we had our house broken into.
We used to live on Magnolia and in Magnolia and
Balboa for you geography nuts out there. And one night
after my parents got divorced or separated, about a week
after my mom and dad got separated. Our house was
(14:02):
broken into, and there's a guy walking downstairs with a
candle like he didn't have a flashlight, he had a candle.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And I walked around.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
My mom called the cops, and by the time the
cops got there, the guy was gone. So the cops
sniffed around. They looked at all the doors, they looked
all the windows, and they came back to my mom
and said, this house has not been broken into, and
they pointed their finger. I don't think I've ever told
(14:32):
the story on the airflom. They pointed the finger at
my mom because my mom my parents got separated, and
I think my mom wanted to scare the hell out
of my dad. And they said that whoever had that
candle is somebody who lives in this house. There's note broke,
there's nothing broken into. There was matches that were lit
that were taken from the fireplace, and the candle was
(14:56):
from the fireplace as well above the fireplace on the mantel.
And Lapd said, that is not how people break into homes.
They don't come in with a key and then get
a candle and light it and walk around the downstairs.
And and I still to this day think my mom
did that to scare the hell out of my dad
(15:19):
to try to get him to come back. I think
that's a true story. My sister, different opinion, different opinion
what happened. But I think I think I and I
solved it early. I solved it within a day or two.
I was I was sniffing around my mom thinking I
think this woman did it. I think that woman did it.
And today I still think that happened.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Ding Dong Aerosmith, one of Bellot's favorite bands.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It's over, that's sad.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
The touring, Yeah, at the touring.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Andrew you a big Aerosmith guy?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I like them?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Were you a big fan of Did you go to
the concerts?
Speaker 8 (16:05):
And No?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I was too young to go to those things. Okay,
all right, all right, that's enough of that. By the way,
you know I'm not going to do all day. I've
been a fan of aeros Space Shuttle. I was wasn't
born by k I wasn't.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
I've been a fan of Aerosmith ever since the Armageddon movie. Well,
where year were you born? The year the space Shuttle
blew up eighty what was it eighty two, eighty six?
But at the end of eighty six, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
All right, So the so when Michael Monks was on
and we were talking about the Kentucky Derby that I
went to, and I know he went to in eighty two,
Gotto Do Soul one, you were not born? That's correct,
that's right, Okay, all right, so what who cares? All right, Aerosmith,
they're done. They're done.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
Smith has called it quitch. The group announced today via
social media that they have canceled all remaining concert dates.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
No, I did you have an Aerosmith tickets for this weekend?
And it was the first show that they canceled. Then
they canceled the rest of the tour and you were
looking forward to it your whole life and that would stink.
Then canceled camp.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's like, what happened with you?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Is Tom Tom Petty?
Speaker 9 (17:15):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Bill, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Tom Petty played at the Hollywood Bowl and a buddy
of mine called me and had three tickets. He was
going to go with another friend. I said, oh, I'd
love to go, and then you know it's something. It
just didn't work out. It was a Sunday night, I
think it's Sunday night, maybe Saturday, and I couldn't get there.
I had some other stuff to do, and I said, Buddy,
I said, look ill, I can't really, I can't make it.
I really appreciate it was a freebeat too. He wasn't
(17:39):
going to charge me for the ticket, and I didn't go.
And then I love Tom Petty. I've never seen him
in concert. One of my favorite guys growing up. I
used to know where he lived. He lived off of
Havenhurst near Ventura. We used to drive by whatever when
anyone came from out of town. My cousins would come
from either Cleve I'm a Detroit or Dearborn and when
(17:59):
or or Ontario, you know, Chatham, Blenham, Ontario. Whenever they
came into town, I always took him by Tom Petty's house.
And they were, you know, because they were my age,
and they couldn't believe that I knew where Tom Petty lived.
And they couldn't believe Tom Petty lived in this house.
I showed it to him all the time, and I
never saw him in concert. He's more of my favorite.
I have all of his You know all of his hits.
(18:20):
My sister did his wardrobe. She's a wardrobe artist, and
she did the wardrobe for one of his videos, free Fallin',
whereas Mondo says free Balling'. But she did the wardrobe.
So we have a connection to Tom Petty. And I
didn't go to that concert on a Sunday at Hollywood Bowl,
(18:42):
and two days later he died. And I will always
regret that, like literally two or three days later he
passed away.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So you got to get out when the going's good
or whatever that means, whatever that something like that, you
know what I mean. But if you have a chance
to see the Eagles, the who uh not Aerosmith anymore,
but maybe Billy Joel got to see him when you
can because they're all going away and.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
Are officially retired from touring. The band, says lead singer
Stephen Tyler, Recovering from his vocal injury is not possible.
They wrote to their fans, it has been the honor
of our lives to have our music become part of yours.

Speaker 9 (21:59):
That is right?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
How'd you know that? Because I.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
Was a huge Elvis fan. Oh, I've read a lot
and watched a lot of movies and documentaries about Elvis. Ah,
but I was just guessing, and I guessed correct. I
knew he was somewhat young.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I can't believe that he's forty two years old. I
would have said sixty five. Seventy man, he looked like
he was sixty five. You know, the king of rock
and roll. They used to call him the King of
rock and roll.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
All right, let's talk more about travel.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
People like to travel in the summertime, and I don't
like to travel in some there's too many people going,
it's too hot, you get delays, you get to pack
plane like traveling in the fall when nobody's out there
for in the winter.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, it's great, nobody's on the plane.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Quiet. Quiet.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now families are going to benefit because a lot of
times you had to pay extra to sit together if
you were a family.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
That's going to change.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
This is a proposed rule, and essentially it would require
the airlines to see families together in adjacent seating when
the children are thirteen and under, and it would ban
the junk fees. According to the DOT associated that with that.
In other words, you can't charge a family more money
just to seat them together. The Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha
judge says they should save the average family four as
(23:28):
much as two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Per round trip. Wow, that's a big savings for a
family of four.
Speaker 12 (23:33):
You know, many airlines still don't guarantee family seating, which
means parents may have to pay more to keep their
kids with them.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, and you would You know that you want your
eight year old daughter sitting on a transcontinental flight next
to a strange dude.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You would never do that.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
And parents often need to help kids with seatbelts going
to the restroom, keeping them calls, and they're often left
asking other passengers if they.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Would swap seats.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, people hate doing that. You hate asking somebody to
swamp with you.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
So they can stay with their kids. The Dot, by
the way, has a dashboard on its website listing which
airlines banned those extra fees and then which don't. So
here's how this would work. The new rule would ban
so called seating.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Nicee, he picked a quiet room to do the report.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
In, and then which don't.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So here's how this would work. Is a living room
during Thanksgiving? When was he doing this report?
Speaker 12 (24:25):
Dashboard on its website listing which airlines banned those extra
fees and then which don't.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
So here's how this would work.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
The new rule would ban called junk fees, adjacent family
seating when available regardless of class, within forty eight hours
of booking, and if adjacent seats are not available, the
airlines would be required to want for ref rebook families
for free. So we're still waiting for an official response
from the airlines.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Just about airlines the.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Proposed rule, this is only a proposed to.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
It has to go through a link can make the
process before it actually becomes the rule that the airlines
would need to comply with.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Coffee cake. Oh story, All right, let's talk about the
Little league here. This is a great story.
Speaker 13 (25:13):
I think the East Vale Little League Baseball team had
a special send off today on their way to the
West Regional Tournament. The twelve and under team will compete
to make it to the Williamsport World Series. Parents holding
up signs and support of their children cheering them on
and to go all the way.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Our boys have played hard all year long. They've excelled
in every way as they've challenged themselves both mentally physically
and have come out on top. And we wish our
boys nothing but the best and represent east Vale little
League Southern California and their ability.
Speaker 13 (25:43):
This is the first team to make it this far
in all of Riverside County.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
For people in No, I see, I'm a geography not
and not a lot of listeners aren't as geography educated as.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I am, if that's a term.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
East Vale is right near no It's right off the fifteen,
just west of Norcombe and the fifteen. So if you
were on the fifteen freeway, I don't know, between Corona
and the ten, that's where Eastvale is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
So that's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Chevron is leaving California. We had Tesla pull out SpaceX.
I think they're pulling out to now Chevron. You see
the pattern, big companies, a lot of employees, making a
lot of money moving out, a lot of them going
to Texas.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Chevron is moving its headquarters from San Ramon to Houston, Texas.
The company expects all corporate functions to migrate to Houston
over the next five years.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I don't know, you know, I think Chevron has a big, big,
pretty big presence down near lax in that area.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Hope we're not going to lose everybody. You know, they
paid that Chevron pays a lot of people a lot
of money.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Positions for its California operations will remain in San Ramon.
Chevron currently has about two thousand employees in San Ramon
and seven thousand employees in the Houston area. The company
also announced several leadership changes this morning.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Ah Chevron leaving California. Oh boy, oh wow. Really, we'd
like to thank everybody again it stopped by. If you
came by yesterday, you know, you took the time, paid
for parking, you know, took off time from the family
to come by and say hi. We really appreciate that.
(27:35):
Yesterday at BJ's in Huntington Beach right there, a block
away from the sand two hundred Main Street in Huntington Beach.
But that surf competitions all weekend, Saturday and Sunday. They're
expecting a couple hundred thousand people down there and the cops.
We had a chief para on with us, and the
cops are ready for you. So no misbehaving in Huntington Beach.
(28:00):
They'll step to pretty quick and they don't tolerate that
kind of crap. They're very nice, they're very cool when
you're behaving, and then when you take a brick and
throw it through a window, or try to break into
Sony's house.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
They're on you. They're on you pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So that's it's not friendly for criminals in Huntingdon Beach
plus almost not. I would say everybody, maybe ninety eight
percent of the people who live in Huntingdon Beach support
the cops, which is a huge number, and then they
support the community. That's how it works. You support the cops,
(28:36):
cops support the community. You don't support the cops. Cops
are you know, not so thrilled about coming out when
you're crapping all over them all the time? Huntington Beach
very safe place to live. Right We're live on KFI
AM six forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
(28:58):
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
if you got a parking ticket in the city of
Los Angeles, it might be in good shape.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Here Michael Monks is with us. Michael, how you Bob Hey?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
When a start as tim how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Ah? No, Chez Senior.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Indeed, So yeah, you might be in good shape.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
If you've got a parking ticket between twenty sixteen and
twenty twenty, you've been able to run out the clock.
Apparently there's this process in the city for folks who
just can't be found. And these are folks who didn't
just get a parking ticket. For the most part, they
had stacks and stacks of them before vanishing into thin
air and are now too expensive to pursue for the
(00:47):
value of the money. But the money does add up,
so the policy requires city council approval.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So that's what happened today at city Hall, and that's
how I got wind of this.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So why wouldn't they sell that, you know, that big
dead to a debt collector for one hundred and fifty
two hundred grand.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
All of the efforts that they tried to do to
collect on this apparently does not work.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Like I would buy that debt from the city for
five thousand dollars and then I'd go out there and say, hey,
you guys, you know, pay up mothers, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Eight that's a question.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I don't know how deep they go with their collection efforts,
but I mean, we're talking about some of these tickets
being almost eight years old, maybe exactly eight years old,
and they finally gave up, but they do add up today.
They basically said, don't pursue three point five million dollars
worth of violations. That's no small chunk of change now, really, though,
(01:42):
what was shocking to me at least was the number
of quote vehicle registration holders. So these are like the plates,
whose whose name are these plates? And it's only three
hundred and thirty five people who between them had thirty
six eight hundred and sixty seven uncollectible parking site takes.
We're talking about like one hundred, so probably repeat offenders
(02:02):
here were the same.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Violent inspect that man.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I knew a guy at the racetrack who had you know,
like he had seventy and they were all over his dashboard,
so you know, I knew he wasn't paying them, and
he used to park in handicap parking every day and
he get a ticket like once a week or so,
maybe you know, once every other week, and he didn't care.
He was so casual in life that he didn't care
that he had seventy five eighty thousand dollars in parking
(02:27):
tickets lined up.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
He just didn't. It didn't bother him. I love that
kind of casualness.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
And if he's been able to change his name or
move out of state, then he probably never had to
pay it. And you know that there's actually a more
shocking number involved here. You know, the wheels of government
do move slowly. So this was first looked at by
what is known as the Board of Collections Review at
the city. So they look at parking tickets, you know,
those types of violations as well as like taxes and
that sort of thing, back in September of last year.
(02:52):
But because it requires council approval, it had to snake
its way through City Hall all the way until today.
But that's only for the violators who owed five thousand
and are more. This board itself can dispose of those
who owe five thousand dollars or less, and there were
seven hundred and sixty four thousand, seven hundred and thirty
five uncollectible parking citations, three hundred eighty eight thousand, four
(03:13):
hundred two different vehicle registration holders. It's for a total
of one hundred and sixteen million dollars to the city.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Good for that. They just said, never mind, good for them.
So they've dismissed everybody. Now, so it's not just three
and a half million. Well, well that was from September
of last year.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
It was just a number that stuck out because that
doesn't require city council approval. All those folks owed less
than five thousand dollars, so we have to go up
the chain, okay, so I have to notice that. So
it might be over one hundred million with the with
the new skaters. Oh, it totally is over between. These
were approved by this board on the same day last September.
What happened today was the city council gave it the
(03:50):
final lokay to throw them in the trash for the
ones who owed more than five thousand dollars. But in
some we're looking at about one hundred and twenty million
dollars total that's got away.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
With you, my buddy who had all those tickets. And
as a matter of fact, he's not a buddy of mine.
I just know who he is. And I wanted to
say that because if you say we're buddies at the tray,
they're gonna call you all of a sudden. He's banging
on me. Hey you got an extra twenty got thirty
on you. So but he was you know back in
the days where like uh, you know Crocker Bank or
whatever a bank you were, you know, you dealt with
(04:20):
in Kentucky, they would send you a pre approved card
for four or five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You know, they said to everybody, everybody got one.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So he got one, and he quickly maxed it out
with dinners and hotels and you know, all kinds of
liquor store and all kinds of crap. And then the
bank called him, goes, hey, you know you're you're maxed
out at four thousand yos money and he said, I'm
not paying you, and he goes, yeah, but but you
sign this thing saying you'll pay us back. And he said,
well you should have done a credit check on me.
I don't pay anybody nobody gets paid nobody.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You know, you call that a story. I call it advice.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, nobody, but he kept saying it on the phone. Nobody,
nobody gets paid nobody. I pay no body, nobody and that.
And you can go through life like that if you
have that kind of nervous system that you don't think
about it at night, when you go in to bed
or when you wake up. You know, those of us
who went to Catholic school might have different experience. I
can't do it. I can't do it, man. I worry
(05:12):
about all that crap, but I love the casualness of
guys that don't.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I really do. I respect that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I think there's something wrong with them, but I think
there's in a good way. There's something wrong with them,
you know that they just don't care about crap like that.
So that's right. So who is this going to affect?
How many people? Total? Thousands? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, so
the number of people that will What if you recently
got a parking ticket, does that affect you?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
So we're talking about tickets that were specifically written between
July of twenty sixteen and December of twenty twenty and
now what happens is the Department of Transportation reports to
this board and says, look, we tried everything we could
to get these people to pay their tickets and they didn't.
And this amount of money is again only from three
hundred and thirty five violators.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So the one hundred and twenty million, that's a big
chunk of change, you know, for the city to lose
out on.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Stuff like that exactly. Now, it's not money they had,
but it's money they could have had it. So it's
not like this is tax payer money that's been wasted,
although some money was expended certainly trying to collect it.
That's what they're arguing here, is like, we shouldn't spend
any more money trying to find these folks because they
are unfindable as far as we can tell.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That one hundred and twenty million dollar.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I just want to make sure that we're clear that
was everybody every owed less than five thousand or more
than five thousand. It was the people who owed more
than five thousand that required council approval today, and that
was only three hundred and thirty five people owed three
and a half million dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I got a parking ticket the other day and it
was fifty one dollars. I was parked in the you know,
there's street cleaning day, and I screwed up, and so
I went to pay it. And then the very next
day that story comes out there's a scam going on
where you get fake tickets on your Windshiel'm like.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, yeah, I don't know. Maybe I got scammed. Who knows?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, did you pay it?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I paid it, so I know.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, because they tell you pay fifty one dollars before,
you know, August sixteenth, or ninety seven dollars after August sixteenth.
And I couldn't go to sleep without the paying that
stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I hope that's not some scam run by your old track.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I know, I know, I know it sucks, man, But
you're a track guy. You grew up in Kentucky at
the track.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
How many times you've been to Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Only to the derby itself a couple of times?
Speaker 7 (07:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
It's interesting, you know, if you if you live in Louisville,
you don't really go I'm just in the glamorous sense.
If you do live in Louisville, you go to the
infield and if you've ever seen the infield, you know
what a wild and maybe you've read Hunter S. Thompson,
you know it's scary.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We went there in nineteen eighty two. I think it
was Gotta Does Gotta del h Yeah, okay, all right,
you're you're a track guy. And we were in the
infield with the you know, the rug rats and the
you know, the animals, and we had to put a
blanket out. They said, if you spread a blanket out,
people stay away from you a little. So we put
a blanket out, you know, it'll picnic going. And then
two guys inevitably fighting, you know cause it's one hundred
(07:55):
and eight degrees and everyone's drunk, and they rolled across
our blanket where they're fighting, and they left plump of
hair with scalp still attached to it on the blanket.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's my Derby story for you. Pretty uh it's not
pretty fancy. Yeah, not a not a a you know,
a hat or a mint jewlip guy. More like, you know,
hang out with the guys kicking the crap out of
each other in the infield exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
The hair.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, buddy, you got to.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Come back on when we got you know, talk Breeders'
Cup for Kentucky Derby. I know that you're a big fan,
absolutely would love to All right, thanks Mike, Michael Monks, everybody,
great reporter here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So you're off the hook.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
If you got a ticket in LA between twenty sixteen
and twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Maybe, I don't know. It's complicated, the the analogy, you know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Maybe if you're above five thousand, below five thousand, I
don't know, you might be also hooked.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Might be Might you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Burglaries, Burglaries, Burglaries.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh boy, we got more of it, you know, I mean,
just all over the place to find out what's going on.
I mean, there's ten homes just in the San Fernando
Valley that been broken into in the last week or so.
And I know that people who listen to KFI, you're
wanting to keep your home safe and you can't rely
(09:16):
even though. Look, I think Burbank cops are one of
the best forces in the world. The two times that
we've had to call him in the eleven years that
we lived there, they were there in less than once,
one time less than three minutes, and one time like
(09:36):
twenty five seconds, which I thought was really bizarre. There
was a guy breaking into an office and I could
see it through my bedroom window. It's like four in
the morning, and I could see him breaking into an office,
and so I called the cops. I said, he there's
a guy breaking I'm looking at him doing it. And
she said where is And I told her and she
(09:58):
said hold on. I said okay, and literally, while I'm
on hold and I'm not bsking you, twenty five seconds later,
a cop car pulls up, arrest the guy and takes
him away, and she comes back on the phone she said.
She goes, yeah, they're on their way. I'm like, no, no,
they're not on their way. And she goes, no, they're
on their way. I said no, no, they already were here.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They're gone. They got the guy and they left already.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But in La we had Alan Hamilton and yesterday's assistant
chief and they're eighty eight hundred cops on LAPD. They
can't be everywhere. They have patrol from Chatsworth to sam Pedro.
That's La City. Chatsworth is sam Pedro that's got to
be thirty five miles. I don't know what it is,
(10:49):
maybe thirty thirty five miles. And they can't be everywhere,
and so you got to protect your home. You have
to have an alarm system. I don't know who the
f is living in the valley, in the especially in
the hills without an alarm system.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't know who you are. I don't know. I
don't know you. I don't want to know you either.
You have to have alarm.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Plus you have to have security around the house. You
gotta have lights. We have one hundred and thirty five
lights around our house. I counted a couple weeks ago,
one hundred and thirty five lights that are on around
the house, and maybe more now I hung up another string.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm a nut.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
That way, it looks like Dodger Stadium at our house.
And you also have to have really good screens like
those security screens and security screen doors. You got to
try to keep these people out of your home because
once your house is broken into, you lose the security
of your house and it's very tough to get that back. Plus,
(11:47):
if you ask Lapd or Burbank, Glendale, Samey Valley, ask
any of these police officers Huntington Beach. If a guy
breaks into your house, chances are he's coming back. Fifty
percent chance he's coming back with it the next month
because he knows the lay of the land. He saw
stuff he didn't get the first time. He's coming back.
(12:10):
That's a fact. So you got to protect yourself. I
know you might be anti gun. Maybe you have kids
around the house. I get that, but I would sniff
around that area as well again just to see, because
it's your job to protect your family. Like like, I'm
a pain in the ass in my house. I got
(12:32):
the alarm. I got those bars that go from the
handle of the door down to the floor, and it
looks like a like a big crow bar, and it
keeps the door closed in case anyone tries to break in.
And my wife hates him because she's constantly either running
into him or falling over him. And she goes, hey,
can we do without these bars? I said, no, no, no, no,
no no. This is not your job. You have nothing.
(12:54):
You have no say in the security of this home.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
None.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's my job to keep my wife and my safe
in that home. And I don't take input from anybody else.
I don't take input from her. I don't take input
from my daughter, Like I don't tell them what to wear.
They don't tell me how to They don't tell me
how to keep them safe. You know a lot of
people they feel I don't know, like crippled after a
sure a break in, like like you have been violated,
(13:19):
even if you weren't home on one hundred percent. Have
you ever had it happen. It's it's one of the
worst things ever. We had a I'm too paranoid for
it to happen. I'm the guy that's like in my
garage looking through the crack to see who's in the
front yard and stuff. Yeah, but you know, as you
get older, you get pissed. You know, when you're younger,
you get scared when somebody's breaking in. As you get older,
you can't wait to mix it up with them. You know,
(13:40):
you can't wait to get downstairs and you know, game
on with this lad. But we had our house broken into.
We used to live on Magnolia and in Magnolia and
Balboa for you geography nuts out there. And one night
after my parents got divorced or separated, about a week
after my mom and dad got separated. Our house was
(14:02):
broken into, and there's a guy walking downstairs with a
candle like he didn't have a flashlight, he had a candle.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And I walked around.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
My mom called the cops, and by the time the
cops got there, the guy was gone. So the cops
sniffed around. They looked at all the doors, they looked
all the windows, and they came back to my mom
and said, this house has not been broken into, and
they pointed their finger. I don't think I've ever told
(14:32):
the story on the airflom. They pointed the finger at
my mom because my mom my parents got separated, and
I think my mom wanted to scare the hell out
of my dad. And they said that whoever had that
candle is somebody who lives in this house. There's note broke,
there's nothing broken into. There was matches that were lit
that were taken from the fireplace, and the candle was
(14:56):
from the fireplace as well above the fireplace on the mantel.
And Lapd said, that is not how people break into homes.
They don't come in with a key and then get
a candle and light it and walk around the downstairs.
And and I still to this day think my mom
did that to scare the hell out of my dad
(15:19):
to try to get him to come back. I think
that's a true story. My sister, different opinion, different opinion
what happened. But I think I think I and I
solved it early. I solved it within a day or two.
I was I was sniffing around my mom thinking I
think this woman did it. I think that woman did it.
And today I still think that happened.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Ding Dong Aerosmith, one of Bellot's favorite bands.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It's over, that's sad.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
I like them?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Were you a big fan of Did you go to
the concerts?
Speaker 8 (16:05):
And No?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I was too young to go to those things. Okay,
all right, all right, that's enough of that. By the way,
you know I'm not going to do all day. I've
been a fan of aeros Space Shuttle. I was wasn't
born by k I wasn't.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
I've been a fan of Aerosmith ever since the Armageddon movie. Well,
where year were you born? The year the space Shuttle
blew up eighty what was it eighty two, eighty six?
But at the end of eighty six, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
All right, So the so when Michael Monks was on
and we were talking about the Kentucky Derby that I
went to, and I know he went to in eighty two,
Gotto Do Soul one, you were not born? That's correct,
that's right, Okay, all right, so what who cares? All right, Aerosmith,
they're done. They're done.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
Smith has called it quitch. The group announced today via
social media that they have canceled all remaining concert dates.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
No, I did you have an Aerosmith tickets for this weekend?
And it was the first show that they canceled. Then
they canceled the rest of the tour and you were
looking forward to it your whole life and that would stink.
Then canceled camp.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's like, what happened with you?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Is Tom Tom Petty?
Speaker 9 (17:15):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Bill, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Tom Petty played at the Hollywood Bowl and a buddy
of mine called me and had three tickets. He was
going to go with another friend. I said, oh, I'd
love to go, and then you know it's something. It
just didn't work out. It was a Sunday night, I
think it's Sunday night, maybe Saturday, and I couldn't get there.
I had some other stuff to do, and I said, Buddy,
I said, look ill, I can't really, I can't make it.
I really appreciate it was a freebeat too. He wasn't
(17:39):
going to charge me for the ticket, and I didn't go.
And then I love Tom Petty. I've never seen him
in concert. One of my favorite guys growing up. I
used to know where he lived. He lived off of
Havenhurst near Ventura. We used to drive by whatever when
anyone came from out of town. My cousins would come
from either Cleve I'm a Detroit or Dearborn and when
(17:59):
or or Ontario, you know, Chatham, Blenham, Ontario. Whenever they
came into town, I always took him by Tom Petty's house.
And they were, you know, because they were my age,
and they couldn't believe that I knew where Tom Petty lived.
And they couldn't believe Tom Petty lived in this house.
I showed it to him all the time, and I
never saw him in concert. He's more of my favorite.
I have all of his You know all of his hits.
(18:20):
My sister did his wardrobe. She's a wardrobe artist, and
she did the wardrobe for one of his videos, free Fallin',
whereas Mondo says free Balling'. But she did the wardrobe.
So we have a connection to Tom Petty. And I
didn't go to that concert on a Sunday at Hollywood Bowl,
(18:42):
and two days later he died. And I will always
regret that, like literally two or three days later he
passed away.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So you got to get out when the going's good
or whatever that means, whatever that something like that, you
know what I mean. But if you have a chance
to see the Eagles, the who uh not Aerosmith anymore,
but maybe Billy Joel got to see him when you
can because they're all going away and.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
Are officially retired from touring. The band, says lead singer
Stephen Tyler, Recovering from his vocal injury is not possible.
They wrote to their fans, it has been the honor
of our lives to have our music become part of yours.

made our dreams come true.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, So what do he had throat cancer? Is that right, Bellio?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I believe that.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah right. You know how you get throat cancer making
out a lot of chicks, is that right?
Speaker 3 (19:45):

Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's true, true, star, look.
Speaker 1 (19:58):

Speaker 5 (21:05):

no way, way, no way. Really really, I thought he's

Speaker 2 (21:17):
That, like fifty six or fifty seven. Okay, here's a
good one. How old was Elvis Presley when he died?
Speaker 9 (21:24):
So?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Quick?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Whipp around, quick, whip round? How old was Elvis Presley

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Whoa? Really?
Speaker 9 (21:59):
That is right?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
How'd you know that? Because I.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
Was a huge Elvis fan. Oh, I've read a lot
and watched a lot of movies and documentaries about Elvis. Ah,
but I was just guessing, and I guessed correct. I
knew he was somewhat young.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I can't believe that he's forty two years old. I
would have said sixty five. Seventy man, he looked like
he was sixty five. You know, the king of rock
and roll. They used to call him the King of
rock and roll.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
All right, let's talk more about travel.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
People like to travel in the summertime, and I don't
like to travel in some there's too many people going,
it's too hot, you get delays, you get to pack
plane like traveling in the fall when nobody's out there
for in the winter.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, it's great, nobody's on the plane.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Quiet. Quiet.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now families are going to benefit because a lot of
times you had to pay extra to sit together if
you were a family.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
That's going to change.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
This is a proposed rule, and essentially it would require
the airlines to see families together in adjacent seating when
the children are thirteen and under, and it would ban
the junk fees. According to the DOT associated that with that.
In other words, you can't charge a family more money
just to seat them together. The Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha
judge says they should save the average family four as
(23:28):
much as two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Per round trip. Wow, that's a big savings for a
family of four.
Speaker 12 (23:33):
You know, many airlines still don't guarantee family seating, which
means parents may have to pay more to keep their
kids with them.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, and you would You know that you want your
eight year old daughter sitting on a transcontinental flight next
to a strange dude.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You would never do that.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
And parents often need to help kids with seatbelts going
to the restroom, keeping them calls, and they're often left
asking other passengers if they.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Would swap seats.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, people hate doing that. You hate asking somebody to
swamp with you.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
So they can stay with their kids. The Dot, by
the way, has a dashboard on its website listing which
airlines banned those extra fees and then which don't. So
here's how this would work. The new rule would ban
so called seating.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Nicee, he picked a quiet room to do the report.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
In, and then which don't.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So here's how this would work. Is a living room
during Thanksgiving? When was he doing this report?
Speaker 12 (24:25):
Dashboard on its website listing which airlines banned those extra
fees and then which don't.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
So here's how this would work.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
The new rule would ban called junk fees, adjacent family
seating when available regardless of class, within forty eight hours
of booking, and if adjacent seats are not available, the
airlines would be required to want for ref rebook families
for free. So we're still waiting for an official response
from the airlines.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Just about airlines the.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Proposed rule, this is only a proposed to.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
It has to go through a link can make the
process before it actually becomes the rule that the airlines
would need to comply with.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Coffee cake. Oh story, All right, let's talk about the
Little league here. This is a great story.
Speaker 13 (25:13):
I think the East Vale Little League Baseball team had
a special send off today on their way to the
West Regional Tournament. The twelve and under team will compete
to make it to the Williamsport World Series. Parents holding
up signs and support of their children cheering them on
and to go all the way.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Our boys have played hard all year long. They've excelled
in every way as they've challenged themselves both mentally physically
and have come out on top. And we wish our
boys nothing but the best and represent east Vale little
League Southern California and their ability.
Speaker 13 (25:43):
This is the first team to make it this far
in all of Riverside County.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
For people in No, I see, I'm a geography not
and not a lot of listeners aren't as geography educated as.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I am, if that's a term.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
East Vale is right near no It's right off the fifteen,
just west of Norcombe and the fifteen. So if you
were on the fifteen freeway, I don't know, between Corona
and the ten, that's where Eastvale is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
So that's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Chevron is leaving California. We had Tesla pull out SpaceX.
I think they're pulling out to now Chevron. You see
the pattern, big companies, a lot of employees, making a
lot of money moving out, a lot of them going
to Texas.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Chevron is moving its headquarters from San Ramon to Houston, Texas.
The company expects all corporate functions to migrate to Houston
over the next five years.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I don't know, you know, I think Chevron has a big, big,
pretty big presence down near lax in that area.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Hope we're not going to lose everybody. You know, they
paid that Chevron pays a lot of people a lot
of money.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Positions for its California operations will remain in San Ramon.
Chevron currently has about two thousand employees in San Ramon
and seven thousand employees in the Houston area. The company
also announced several leadership changes this morning.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Ah Chevron leaving California. Oh boy, oh wow. Really, we'd
like to thank everybody again it stopped by. If you
came by yesterday, you know, you took the time, paid
for parking, you know, took off time from the family
to come by and say hi. We really appreciate that.
(27:35):
Yesterday at BJ's in Huntington Beach right there, a block
away from the sand two hundred Main Street in Huntington Beach.
But that surf competitions all weekend, Saturday and Sunday. They're
expecting a couple hundred thousand people down there and the cops.
We had a chief para on with us, and the
cops are ready for you. So no misbehaving in Huntington Beach.
(28:00):
They'll step to pretty quick and they don't tolerate that
kind of crap. They're very nice, they're very cool when
you're behaving, and then when you take a brick and
throw it through a window, or try to break into
Sony's house.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
They're on you. They're on you pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So that's it's not friendly for criminals in Huntingdon Beach
plus almost not. I would say everybody, maybe ninety eight
percent of the people who live in Huntingdon Beach support
the cops, which is a huge number, and then they
support the community. That's how it works. You support the cops,
(28:36):
cops support the community. You don't support the cops. Cops
are you know, not so thrilled about coming out when
you're crapping all over them all the time? Huntington Beach
very safe place to live. Right We're live on KFI
