Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Hey, before we
get to Michael Monks, there's a special thing going out
at West Valley LAPD tonight at six thirty. They have
restored the memorial out there for fallen officers and it
looks beautiful. So I'm Linder, thank you for doing that.
(00:24):
That's beautiful tonight a rededication of the unveiling of the beautiful,
beautiful memorial out there for LAPEDO officers. And I think
that's on Wilbur and I used to live in that area.
Wilburn van Owen, I think is where that is, Wilbur.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
And Van Owener, Sherman Way.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I think it's Van Owen, Wilburn and Van Owen. I'll
look it up if you look an idiot, I don't
know that, but it's great memorial tonight rededication six thirty.
It looks fantastic, and those officers they deserve that. I
think there's four officers on that memorial or the last
time I looked at that, And so tonight six point thirty,
(01:04):
if you're in the area, stop by cops always appreciate that.
Van Owen and Wilbe. All right, let's get to Michael
Monks here. Michael, you Bob.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
There? Hello?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Hello, it's hey Michael Monks. How are you, Bob? I'm
doing well, I hope right?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Hey, So La City Council they're funding the Copper Wire
Theft Heavy Metal Task Force.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Huh well, yeah, this is something.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
That they created with the LAPD back in February in
response to this crazy amount of copper wire and other
metals that have been stolen all around the city, leaving
some neighborhoods completely dark because a lot of these wires
are coming from street lights. So if you live in
one of those parts of towns, you know how debilitating
this can be. Sure, we're just feeling safe in your
(01:51):
community today. At the city Council meeting, Councilman Kevin de
Leon of Council District fourteen, which is downtown Boyle Heights
Eagle Rock that hard. He allocated two hundred thousand dollars
from his own council district office redevelopment funds to boost
their efforts. Because you're getting the sense, Tim that some
(02:12):
of these council members are growing quite tired of the
conditions of the city of La.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Sure, well, welcome to the party, I guess. But what
is that copper wiring worth. I know that on the
sixth Street Bridge, that was the five hundred million dollar
bridge that they put up, and then you know, a
year and a half after it opens, they take all
the copper wiring and that bridge is completely dark, which
is dangerous, and it's going to cost them six seven
eight million dollars to replace it all.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But is that copper wire worth.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Anything when they go to resell it or is it
just pennies on the dollar.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well, it is worth something. It's worth enough to create
these copper wire theft rings tim that exists in the community,
and these are criminal masterminds. I suppose that prey on
some of the more vulnerable people who are roaming the
streets out there in La some of the drug addicts,
the homeless, full folks who will often do the dirty
deeds of taking this wire and then getting a little
(03:05):
bit of money for themselves. But the big dollar that
comes from selling this copper is made by people higher
up on the chain.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Last week, council Member daily On was joined by Councilwoman
Tracy Park, who wanted to highlight some of the success
of what they call the Heavy Metal Task Force, And
this is something that has apparently yielded more than eighty
arrest in recent weeks and has recovered more than two
thousand pounds of copper wire that it's consult But it's
(03:33):
not just street lights. It's not just the bridge. The
bridge is the most glaring example because it's so new
and was so expensive and now it's completely dark, which
a lot of people would look at as completely symbolic
of the state of LA right now. But it's also
historic monuments and memorials and plaques that are all over
Councilman Bob Blumenfield in Woodland Hills had his Walk of
(03:55):
Hearts destroyed. Eleven plaques that honor teachers as a sort
of Hollywood Walk of Fame a setup have been stolen
for this exact same purpose. So all over town folks
are stealing this stuff, and it's it's become such a
blind that the council formed this task force in conjunction
with the LAPD not unanimously. A couple of council members
voted against that. Today council members unsses Hernandez and Hugosda Martinez.
(04:19):
They do tend to vote against any additional expenditures that
go towards the LAPD.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Right, yeah, scret Yeah, but you know, I thought of
a great idea. By the way, you're a little younger
than I am. But were you a heavy metal guy
growing up, or you're like a you know, Metallica, Motley Crue,
Iron Maiden guy.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
No, I was more of a Reba MacIntire Street. Okay,
I get that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But I got a great idea that they should have
a heavy metal concert to support this heavy metal task
force and bring them all out, you know, system of
a down Motor ahead tool Corn bring them all out
and have a huge Motley cru would be another one.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's another great one. And I do a huge concert
for this retired out here.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I bet we could probably throw a stone and it
hit some of their mansions, so I shou'd be ready
to jump out and help.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So you're a big country music guy growing up, Oh yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Not much now it sounds too different. It sounds a
little too much like heavy metal or pop music. If
you're asking me, hey, back in the old days, it's
good stuf. You grew up in Louisville, right, northern Kentucky,
mostly born in Giville early childhood.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
There than Cincinnati area of northern Kentucky in that part
of the country.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And I and I'm embarrassed that I don't know this,
but our country music stations, like the top stations in town.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Huge even in Cincinnati. Is that right?
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
B one O five is their big country station off
in number one in the ratings there, Louisville the big
country station. I can't find a country station here, not
that I would say it's not an iHeart family station.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It's wild, but I find it out.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I always thought if I had to do it all
over again and raise my daughter, I would look specifically
for cities that had a huge, huge country music station
or two and slide in then and raise my daughter.
I think people who listen to country music, I think
are great.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I think they're terrific.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It's crazy because it's actually because it's become so mainstream
and there's so much crossroad between the different genres these days.
You could pretty much end up in Detroit and have
that scenario.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Really, that's right, all right?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So when is this thing is it's fully funded? It
goes into LAPD's pocket to try to solve this.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It goes directly to this Heavy Metal Task Force as
part of the LPED, So the LAPED will administer the funds.
They're already out there doing this work. As I said,
they yielded some results last week that they were hyping
a lot of big pile of copper wires shown off
at a press conference. So this money should go a
little bit further. Downtown has been hit particularly hard by this.
I mean, are you know the electric vehicle charging stations
(06:47):
are completely destroyed, The street lights are out. It's everywhere
you turn any but anywhere you can get some copper wire,
it's been taken.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, buddy, I appreciate you coming on. Michael Monks, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Thanks Tim. All right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Michael Monk's La City Council has voted to fund the
Heavy Metal Task Force, not Metallica, Judas Priest Slayer, Iron Maiden,
but LAPD to try to get some of these copper
wire thefts to cooler heels a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
All right, very good. We are live in on KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Costco is in the news.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I went to Costco last night, not bragging, but made
a couple of bucks and my wife and I enjoy
a membership to that private club. What you get, Well,
I got a couple of shirts. They were discounted to
nine dollars and ninety nine cents.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
What.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, wow, flannels for the winter. Already get my winter
wardrobe ready? Yeah. When's the last time we've been to Costco?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It has been maybe a year?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, okay, Well maybe you don't know this then, because
you're not a regular. I don't consider once a year
a regular. I don't don't know why you have membership.
So I went last night and as I walk in,
you know, they used to just flash your card, you know,
and they's all welcome to Costco, and you get your
big ass cart and you walk around, and so she
(08:21):
takes my card and she scans it and then my
photo pops up, the photo that's on file for Costco,
and she matches that to my face and she goes,
welcome to Costco.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And I thought, oh, okay, God almighty, I mean, what
are we doing here? You know?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I mean when I go to the federal building in
West Los Angeles and Westwood, they don't even do that.
There's tighter security at Costco than the Federal building.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I had a friend of mine, this happened years ago.
We were out in in Burbank and he he drank, drank,
drank too much.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You know a lot of us have been there.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And then he went outside and he uh relieved himself
in the parking lot, and then he got into some
kind of argument with a guy.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
The guy said he whizzed on his car, and the
cops showed up and they dragged him to jail for
being drunk in public.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And I thought that was great.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
The guy that I went out, you know, to the
bar to have a couple of drinks, he went with
the cops and I walked home. And so hours and
hours later, it was I think it was the next morning,
six am. I went to see I went to the
police station to see if he was still there, you know,
because I felt bad and someone to you know, see
(09:51):
if I could bail him out. So I said, hey,
can I go to the into the jail to see
if my buddy's here? And they said, yeah, can we
need to see your license. I said, oh, all right,
just as id. And you know what they do. I
think they did this. I think they check for warrants
because a lot of guys who go visit their friends
(10:12):
in jail also have warrens and they'll arrest you right there.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And throw you in with him. So I got in there.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He was in there in a cell being held, very
nice jail in Burbank for getting arrested.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Man, that's the place to do it, very clean.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And he was he was in the cell, and I
I tried to sneak a photo of him in the cell,
you know, so I could bust his balls, maybe make
it into a Christmas card, nice friends, little blackmail.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I think he thought he thought it was funny.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think I don't know, but the cops there said
they please, please don't do that. I said, okay, okay,
And it was odd just sitting my you know, a
friend of mine sitting there behind parts.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But when you go to Costco now, they match your
photo to the one they have on file, and if
you're not the same person, you're not coming in.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean that's crazy security.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know, to show me your papers before you shop here.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
That is wild.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I've never seen anything like that before any other store
I've ever been in my life. They've never checked my
ID or license or membership against a photo, but they
do with everybody now. And Costco it rolls out they
were rolling out new membership and at the entry scanners
that are that you can't you can't fight either that
card's yours or it's not, and if it's not yours,
(11:41):
you're not getting in.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Didn't you have a stat about the percentage that the
membership brings in the revenue to Costco?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Uh? Yeah, I think I think it's most of the revenue.
Because Costco is supposed to sell everything at their cost.
I don't think they make money off products. I think
they just make money off memberships. I think that may
or may not be true, but I think it's true.
I think everything in there is so inexpensive because they
make money just off the membership. They're supposed to sell
(12:10):
everything at what they bought it for or you know,
the plus transportation cost whatever, and that's.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Why you get sweet deals.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That's why you can buy a shirt there for nine
dollars and ninety nine cents, he'll be forty dollars. Nice
flannel shirts at Costco in Burbank nine dollars and ninety
nine cents.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Okay, I just looked this up that it said membership
fees generated four point five billion in revenue in twenty
twenty three, which is seventy two percent of its total income.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Ooh, that's a lot, so I could see why they
would invest it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, yeah, they don't want you using somebody else's car. Yeah,
you got have your own membership and Costco is getting serious.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Bad news for anyone who out there who is borrowing
a Costco membership card.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, that's over. That's over. I mean we've all done it.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Right.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
You're maybe testing out a new way to verify memberships.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
No, they're not, they're not. It may is already happening.
They may be testing into other Costcos, but the one
in Burbank they're already doing it.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
According to reports, Costco is trying out a new card
scanner at entrances.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yep, it will scan your card to.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Make sure the photo on the card matches the shop.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Customers who aren't members are still allowed to purchase prescriptions
from the pharmacy, but can't enter the warehouse.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh how embarrassing you get caught. You can't get in
the warehouse, you can't get into Costco. You don't have
that kind of juice to get into a Costco. They
throw your ass out. Oh that's embarrassing.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Costco memberships cost between sixty to one hundred and twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot to get in there,
but man, that's fun. I like Costco a year.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
This is why we can't steal nice things. Yeah, any wait,
that's why what a year?
Speaker 8 (13:54):
This is why we can't steal nice things.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, I can't against steal nice things. I get it.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Sounds cool. Is working on new technology that will help
customers check out faster instead of having a worker check
your receipt before you leave the chain. Is testing out
artificial intelligence that can scan your cart and verify purchases.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Okay, that's not that interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I will I will say this though, and again, I
hate to correct behavior, but I'm seeing it more and
more now and it's bothering me. And so I've got
to remind people. Costco has a race track inside. When
you go into Costco, you get on the track and
you walk towards bake Goods Liquor, which is straight ahead.
(14:39):
Then you make a left at meat and then you
come back through you know, household goods and bread and
snacks and that kind of stuff. But there's a track
and it's you go counterclockwise most costcos you go counterclockwise
where you get in and you go around the clock
(14:59):
around the track.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Do not swim upstream?
Speaker 8 (15:04):
I swim upstream.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
I can't believe I'm not surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, that's wild. Did you do it?
Speaker 8 (15:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (15:12):
Well, I mean I always go over to I always
go clockwise because what I want to get first is over.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I don't even know you. God, I saw two people.
You know, there's there's a main two main arteries, one
that goes deep into Costco and one that goes towards
the registers. And there was two people cart side by side,
two families talking blocking that main artery. And I took
(15:41):
photos of them and I passed them around to friends
and say, how about this crew? How about this crew
blocking up the arteries right down Broadway.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
So someone may have a picture of Angel.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Maybe that's right, age Angel.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I find that I find it so off putting in
it's so weird and wild and and like you're I
don't know.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Well, I didn't understand that there was a certain map
that you take through there. I was always wondering why
there were so many people walking toys.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I see right here bagging in your card.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Yeah, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I will say that the Costco cart is solid. You know,
it is made out of like super steel. That is
a big as nice cart. I enjoy that bumper cars. Yes,
I love it, man, I love it. And I love
getting back into paper goods, you know in the back
there where you buy your paper towels and your your
toilet paper and then there's water there. I love that
(16:42):
Costco man. I enjoy shopping there. I hope they never
kicked me out. I hope they have me forever. I
enjoy that. That whole program.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Got an email here, Hi, Hi, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Was listening to Tim talk about the home robberies and
I can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned or in
the media at all, but last Friday, I was working
on the set of The Morning Show, The Morning Show
at Homby Park in Homby Hills, lapd So there was
a home invasion robbery at a home directly across the
street from where we were shooting around one thirty pm.
(17:22):
One guy took off in a BMW with all the goods,
designer bags, watches the whole run, and left his cohort
in the home. Helicopter circled telling him and put down
his weapon. The perimeter of the home was surrounded. Neighbors
heard the helicopters and came out to see what was
going on. They saw us shooting the show and thought
it was the cop cars and the helicopter were fake
(17:43):
part of the show.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
It was insane.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I can't believe it happened with hundreds of crew members
and people right across the street. And then it says
her name, but I don't want to miss your name.
I don't want to get her in trouble or him whatever.
And then one guy said, hey, if you big heavy
metal guy, what are your top ten heavy metal bands?
I'm like, okay, that's interesting, and I and I thought
about it. I would say Tool maybe number ten, Pantera nine.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Eight. I would probably put led.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Zeppelin in at eight, maybe Judas Priest at seven. I
would have to go Mega Death after that, maybe six,
Slayer five, maybe Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. Either Black Sabbath,
Iron Maiden or Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath for three and four.
(18:36):
Number two is a personal friend of a personal favorite
of mine. Dream Theater. Not as big as you'd think,
but unbelievable. And I think Metallica would have to be
number one. Metallica. Yeah, I had a Metallica poster.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
They have a chick magnet.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
When you're in your you know, late twenties, early thirties,
and you got a Metallica post drup, you're like, oh, wow,
you're heavy medal ah yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Kind of kind of funny, just a little bit, a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We have the pole vaulter in the news.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Guy was in the pole vaulting and he could have
won an Olympic medal. But as we've all seen by now,
as he was trying to jump over the pole with
his pole vault over the bar, his uh we we
got the way, and down came the pole and the
(19:36):
bar and his poll.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Pole vaulter Anthony Amaradi's Olympic dreams had an unexpected nsf
W hurdle.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
During the men's qualifying event at the twenty twenty four
Pierce Olympics August third, the French athlete's manhood dislodges the crossbar,
sending it crashing down.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Now, Belly, I've been telling you for years that this
could happen, and it's the reason that I was not
on the Birmingham High School pole vaulting.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Yeah, you have said that before years. I was shocked
to hear this information.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I remember coach Harris said, hey, he said, you know
you're a skinny kid, you got some speed. You know
you can handle the poll pretty well. Why don't you
be on the team. And I said, Coach, I said, buddy,
I'm going to cost you a lot of championships. Men,
(20:32):
I'm not your guy here, Dude, I'm not your guy.
I'm constantly, you know, watching that pole come down, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Just not your guy.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
You got to get a guy with a tiny wiener
up there.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, well look I just didn't want to be embarrassed,
you know, so kind of a spectacle.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You know, I tried it a couple of times, like, wow, man,
I guess never gonna get over that pole.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
With Anthony visibly upset by his own package, betraying him.
The twenty one year old clutches his head in disappointment
a coming in at fifteenth place in the competition.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, I think he did this on purpose because he
knew he was going to be an also ran. You
know he's going to get fifteenth or sixteenth and the Olympics,
unless you get gold, nobody cares. Nobody really knows your
name unless you're Simone Biles. You get silver, people care
about that. But if you get third, fourth, fifth, sixth, nine, twenty,
if nobody cares, nobody ever remember your name. But now
(21:38):
everybody knows who this guy is because he tried to
get over the bar but his personal pole got in
the way.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
Later, reacting to his elimination in his statement posted by
the French Athletics Federation, saying, it's a big disappointment.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
I'm a big gutted. It's the first.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Time I see it is a rather big disappointment.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
It's a big disappointment. I'm a big gutted.
Speaker 10 (22:03):
It's the first time I've started a competition without any stress.
As I was a total outsider, I only had one
goal to play with the public.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
I was almost there and.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
While Anthony may have not I think there was something
lost in the translation there.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I think that they didn't have their translator available.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
It's the first time I've started a competition without any stress,
as I was a total outsider.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I only had one goal.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And what was the goal?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
To play with the public?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
What yeah, to play with the public?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I think the translator was out having a baguette when
he was talking to the audience.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
To play with the public.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
My one goal was to play with the public. That
doesn't sound right.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
I was almost there.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
And while Anthony may have not woned the Olympics, he's
sure one over the internet with the French athlete's flug
going viral on social media, with the French athlete's fluck
going for.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
With his flub, with his flub.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
With the French athlete's fluck going viral on social media,
one ex user writes, I mean, if you're going to
be famous for losing a pole vault, this is the
way to do it. Another chimes in with some seemingly
French themed humor, posting, oh he brought that bag yet
to the Games.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
And finally, one user shares a message.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Stand up comics over in France, Oh.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
He brought that bag yet to the Games.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
And finally, one user shares a message of encouragement with Anthony,
letting him know winning isn't everything, saying he's going to
stroll out of this Olympics with more ladies' phone numbers
than medals. The twenty twenty four Paaris Games mark Anthony's
first time making it to the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Wow, first time in the Olympics. Good for that gun, and.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
It's sure to be a competition he'll remember for a
very long time.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, and the poor guy or I don't know, great guy,
I don't know. But that was something else to see, man,
something else.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
It's Conway Show, all right, ding it down, we continue here.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
We've had a robbery in Norwalk.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's not just Insino or Palisades, Tarzana, Holmby Hills, it's
spreading and in Norwalk somebody walked into a smoke shop
to try to take their stuff.
Speaker 11 (24:35):
The two outstanding suspects were taken into custody moments ago,
and we'll show you a video of that in a moment.
But this all started about nine o'clock this morning, with
three suspects went inside the classic tobacco smoke shop here
in the Smart and Final Plaza off a Firestone Boulevard
in Norwalk. The store owner opened fire, hitting one of
the suspects. That subpect was transported to Saint Francis. Their
condition is unknown. Now here's video we shot just moments ago.
(24:59):
For several hours, there was a search for these two
outstanding suspects.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Man, it's everywhere, everywhere. Crime is everywhere, man, unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (25:08):
Boy, they gave themselves up pretty quickly once they saw
the canine unit. The dog was going to go into
the backyard. So the two suspects are in custody. There's
no longer a threat to the community. Going to be
a long playing investigation though, as I mentioned, one of
the suspects was shot by the store owner.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Man, people are they're on edge. They're on edge, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I speaking of canine unit, here's something special that I
don't think I'll be buying.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
But maybe Bellio, I think of anybody on.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
The show, maybe you or Angel would get into this craziness.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Maybe maybe maybe Dot Gobana released the perfume called Fifi
in honor of Dominico's Doce's Canine. According to the DG website,
the fragrance is a quote O factory masterpiece, featuring a
touch of musk and the creamy undertone of standard wood.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's perfume for dogs. That's where we are in twenty
twenty four. Who's got a war breaking out in the
Middle East. Aran's about to attack Israel at any moment.
We've got Russia and Ukraine getting all crazy. We got
a very contentious political atmosphere in the United States, and
people are going to the store right now to buy
(26:19):
perfume for their dog. Two different worlds.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Mussy has allergies, so I'm going to pass. Okay, all right,
would you do that?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Angel?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Get a little on adult chain Kabana and kabana perfume
for your dog.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
I think I would if they had an accompanying fragrance
for myself that goes well with the fragrance that the
dog wears.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Not that I want to smell like.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
My dog, but I think if the two the two
cents worked well together, that might be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay, and your bird just looking at everybody like I
can't wait to get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Everyone's crazy.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Moud Bird's flipping me off right now, right.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Oh, factory masterpiece featuring a touch of musk and the
creamy undertone those sandal wood.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh my god, who's doing this? Who's on board here? Ah?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Old factory masterpiece featuring a touch of musk and the
creamy undertone those sandalwood.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
About at the fife costs?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Get this one hundred nine dollars one hundred and nine
dollars for dog perfume.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It also comes with adulta in Gavana color with a tag.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
All right, okay, that's a pass for me.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Actor.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
He said that I can't just go down and get
old spice or brute and spray it on the dog.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Has to be one hundred dollars. One hundred dollars. That's crazy,
all right. We have the Orange County Fair.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We talked about this a little bit yesterday and we
didn't quite get to it because we had some major
fires burning in Sam Bernardino.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
But Orange County Fair.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Guy goes into Orange County Fair with his wife, his kids,
I imagine, and he's like me, where he needs a
little more action. You know, the fare is great, he's
a little more action, so he buys a scratch off
lottery scratch off for the Orange.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
County Fair ended up being a life changing experience for
one person.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
Someone scored one million dollars after buying a multiplier craze
scratcher's ticket at a booth five Star liquor in Westminster
set up. That booth owner says the winner showed a
lot of excitement but wanted to keep it under wraps.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, and wanted to keep it from everybody, including his wife.
Speaker 12 (28:21):
They'll have to claim the prize by mailing the ticket
in or visiting one of nine California Lottery offices.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Where are you in life where you're mailing a million
dollar ticket in? What's going on with you mailing it in?
You imagine that, how nervous you'd be about the mail
getting there, and then, like, you know, three weeks later,
you call, he haven't got my check, Well, we never
received the ticket.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
What you gotta be kidding, Mede.
Speaker 12 (28:46):
They'll have to claim the prize by mailing the ticket
in or visiting one of nine California lottery offices.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, get in your car and go to the lottery office.
Don't rely on the post office to get you that million.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
A similar booth is set up of Ventura County. There.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh my god, people are crazy jes crazy crazy crazy crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
All right, when we come back, we got the powered
hour next.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, six to us seven pm is always a great
hour here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeartRadio app
It's KMF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Hey, before we
get to Michael Monks, there's a special thing going out
at West Valley LAPD tonight at six thirty. They have
restored the memorial out there for fallen officers and it
looks beautiful. So I'm Linder, thank you for doing that.
(00:24):
That's beautiful tonight a rededication of the unveiling of the beautiful,
beautiful memorial out there for LAPEDO officers. And I think
that's on Wilbur and I used to live in that area.
Wilburn van Owen, I think is where that is, Wilbur.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
And Van Owener, Sherman Way.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I think it's Van Owen, Wilburn and Van Owen. I'll
look it up if you look an idiot, I don't
know that, but it's great memorial tonight rededication six thirty.
It looks fantastic, and those officers they deserve that. I
think there's four officers on that memorial or the last
time I looked at that, And so tonight six point thirty,
(01:04):
if you're in the area, stop by cops always appreciate that.
Van Owen and Wilbe. All right, let's get to Michael
Monks here. Michael, you Bob.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
There? Hello?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Hello, it's hey Michael Monks. How are you, Bob? I'm
doing well, I hope right?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Hey, So La City Council they're funding the Copper Wire
Theft Heavy Metal Task Force.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Huh well, yeah, this is something.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
That they created with the LAPD back in February in
response to this crazy amount of copper wire and other
metals that have been stolen all around the city, leaving
some neighborhoods completely dark because a lot of these wires
are coming from street lights. So if you live in
one of those parts of towns, you know how debilitating
this can be. Sure, we're just feeling safe in your
(01:51):
community today. At the city Council meeting, Councilman Kevin de
Leon of Council District fourteen, which is downtown Boyle Heights
Eagle Rock that hard. He allocated two hundred thousand dollars
from his own council district office redevelopment funds to boost
their efforts. Because you're getting the sense, Tim that some
(02:12):
of these council members are growing quite tired of the
conditions of the city of La.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Sure, well, welcome to the party, I guess. But what
is that copper wiring worth. I know that on the
sixth Street Bridge, that was the five hundred million dollar
bridge that they put up, and then you know, a
year and a half after it opens, they take all
the copper wiring and that bridge is completely dark, which
is dangerous, and it's going to cost them six seven
eight million dollars to replace it all.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But is that copper wire worth.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Anything when they go to resell it or is it
just pennies on the dollar.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well, it is worth something. It's worth enough to create
these copper wire theft rings tim that exists in the community,
and these are criminal masterminds. I suppose that prey on
some of the more vulnerable people who are roaming the
streets out there in La some of the drug addicts,
the homeless, full folks who will often do the dirty
deeds of taking this wire and then getting a little
(03:05):
bit of money for themselves. But the big dollar that
comes from selling this copper is made by people higher
up on the chain.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Last week, council Member daily On was joined by Councilwoman
Tracy Park, who wanted to highlight some of the success
of what they call the Heavy Metal Task Force, And
this is something that has apparently yielded more than eighty
arrest in recent weeks and has recovered more than two
thousand pounds of copper wire that it's consult But it's
(03:33):
not just street lights. It's not just the bridge. The
bridge is the most glaring example because it's so new
and was so expensive and now it's completely dark, which
a lot of people would look at as completely symbolic
of the state of LA right now. But it's also
historic monuments and memorials and plaques that are all over
Councilman Bob Blumenfield in Woodland Hills had his Walk of
(03:55):
Hearts destroyed. Eleven plaques that honor teachers as a sort
of Hollywood Walk of Fame a setup have been stolen
for this exact same purpose. So all over town folks
are stealing this stuff, and it's it's become such a
blind that the council formed this task force in conjunction
with the LAPD not unanimously. A couple of council members
voted against that. Today council members unsses Hernandez and Hugosda Martinez.
(04:19):
They do tend to vote against any additional expenditures that
go towards the LAPD.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Right, yeah, scret Yeah, but you know, I thought of
a great idea. By the way, you're a little younger
than I am. But were you a heavy metal guy
growing up, or you're like a you know, Metallica, Motley Crue,
Iron Maiden guy.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
No, I was more of a Reba MacIntire Street. Okay,
I get that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But I got a great idea that they should have
a heavy metal concert to support this heavy metal task
force and bring them all out, you know, system of
a down Motor ahead tool Corn bring them all out
and have a huge Motley cru would be another one.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's another great one. And I do a huge concert
for this retired out here.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I bet we could probably throw a stone and it
hit some of their mansions, so I shou'd be ready
to jump out and help.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So you're a big country music guy growing up, Oh yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Not much now it sounds too different. It sounds a
little too much like heavy metal or pop music. If
you're asking me, hey, back in the old days, it's
good stuf. You grew up in Louisville, right, northern Kentucky,
mostly born in Giville early childhood.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
There than Cincinnati area of northern Kentucky in that part
of the country.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And I and I'm embarrassed that I don't know this,
but our country music stations, like the top stations in town.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Huge even in Cincinnati. Is that right?
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
B one O five is their big country station off
in number one in the ratings there, Louisville the big
country station. I can't find a country station here, not
that I would say it's not an iHeart family station.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It's wild, but I find it out.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I always thought if I had to do it all
over again and raise my daughter, I would look specifically
for cities that had a huge, huge country music station
or two and slide in then and raise my daughter.
I think people who listen to country music, I think
are great.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I think they're terrific.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It's crazy because it's actually because it's become so mainstream
and there's so much crossroad between the different genres these days.
You could pretty much end up in Detroit and have
that scenario.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Really, that's right, all right?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So when is this thing is it's fully funded? It
goes into LAPD's pocket to try to solve this.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It goes directly to this Heavy Metal Task Force as
part of the LPED, So the LAPED will administer the funds.
They're already out there doing this work. As I said,
they yielded some results last week that they were hyping
a lot of big pile of copper wires shown off
at a press conference. So this money should go a
little bit further. Downtown has been hit particularly hard by this.
I mean, are you know the electric vehicle charging stations
(06:47):
are completely destroyed, The street lights are out. It's everywhere
you turn any but anywhere you can get some copper wire,
it's been taken.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, buddy, I appreciate you coming on. Michael Monks, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Thanks Tim. All right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Michael Monk's La City Council has voted to fund the
Heavy Metal Task Force, not Metallica, Judas Priest Slayer, Iron Maiden,
but LAPD to try to get some of these copper
wire thefts to cooler heels a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
All right, very good. We are live in on KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Costco is in the news.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I went to Costco last night, not bragging, but made
a couple of bucks and my wife and I enjoy
a membership to that private club. What you get, Well,
I got a couple of shirts. They were discounted to
nine dollars and ninety nine cents.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
What.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, wow, flannels for the winter. Already get my winter
wardrobe ready? Yeah. When's the last time we've been to Costco?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It has been maybe a year?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, okay, Well maybe you don't know this then, because
you're not a regular. I don't consider once a year
a regular. I don't don't know why you have membership.
So I went last night and as I walk in,
you know, they used to just flash your card, you know,
and they's all welcome to Costco, and you get your
big ass cart and you walk around, and so she
(08:21):
takes my card and she scans it and then my
photo pops up, the photo that's on file for Costco,
and she matches that to my face and she goes,
welcome to Costco.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And I thought, oh, okay, God almighty, I mean, what
are we doing here? You know?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I mean when I go to the federal building in
West Los Angeles and Westwood, they don't even do that.
There's tighter security at Costco than the Federal building.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I had a friend of mine, this happened years ago.
We were out in in Burbank and he he drank, drank,
drank too much.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You know a lot of us have been there.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And then he went outside and he uh relieved himself
in the parking lot, and then he got into some
kind of argument with a guy.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
The guy said he whizzed on his car, and the
cops showed up and they dragged him to jail for
being drunk in public.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And I thought that was great.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
The guy that I went out, you know, to the
bar to have a couple of drinks, he went with
the cops and I walked home. And so hours and
hours later, it was I think it was the next morning,
six am. I went to see I went to the
police station to see if he was still there, you know,
because I felt bad and someone to you know, see
(09:51):
if I could bail him out. So I said, hey,
can I go to the into the jail to see
if my buddy's here? And they said, yeah, can we
need to see your license. I said, oh, all right,
just as id. And you know what they do. I
think they did this. I think they check for warrants
because a lot of guys who go visit their friends
(10:12):
in jail also have warrens and they'll arrest you right there.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And throw you in with him. So I got in there.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He was in there in a cell being held, very
nice jail in Burbank for getting arrested.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Man, that's the place to do it, very clean.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And he was he was in the cell, and I
I tried to sneak a photo of him in the cell,
you know, so I could bust his balls, maybe make
it into a Christmas card, nice friends, little blackmail.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I think he thought he thought it was funny.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think I don't know, but the cops there said
they please, please don't do that. I said, okay, okay,
And it was odd just sitting my you know, a
friend of mine sitting there behind parts.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But when you go to Costco now, they match your
photo to the one they have on file, and if
you're not the same person, you're not coming in.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean that's crazy security.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know, to show me your papers before you shop here.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
That is wild.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I've never seen anything like that before any other store
I've ever been in my life. They've never checked my
ID or license or membership against a photo, but they
do with everybody now. And Costco it rolls out they
were rolling out new membership and at the entry scanners
that are that you can't you can't fight either that
card's yours or it's not, and if it's not yours,
(11:41):
you're not getting in.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Didn't you have a stat about the percentage that the
membership brings in the revenue to Costco?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Uh? Yeah, I think I think it's most of the revenue.
Because Costco is supposed to sell everything at their cost.
I don't think they make money off products. I think
they just make money off memberships. I think that may
or may not be true, but I think it's true.
I think everything in there is so inexpensive because they
make money just off the membership. They're supposed to sell
(12:10):
everything at what they bought it for or you know,
the plus transportation cost whatever, and that's.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Why you get sweet deals.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That's why you can buy a shirt there for nine
dollars and ninety nine cents, he'll be forty dollars. Nice
flannel shirts at Costco in Burbank nine dollars and ninety
nine cents.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Okay, I just looked this up that it said membership
fees generated four point five billion in revenue in twenty
twenty three, which is seventy two percent of its total income.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Ooh, that's a lot, so I could see why they
would invest it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, yeah, they don't want you using somebody else's car. Yeah,
you got have your own membership and Costco is getting serious.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Bad news for anyone who out there who is borrowing
a Costco membership card.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, that's over. That's over. I mean we've all done it.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Right.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
You're maybe testing out a new way to verify memberships.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
No, they're not, they're not. It may is already happening.
They may be testing into other Costcos, but the one
in Burbank they're already doing it.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
According to reports, Costco is trying out a new card
scanner at entrances.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yep, it will scan your card to.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Make sure the photo on the card matches the shop.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Customers who aren't members are still allowed to purchase prescriptions
from the pharmacy, but can't enter the warehouse.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh how embarrassing you get caught. You can't get in
the warehouse, you can't get into Costco. You don't have
that kind of juice to get into a Costco. They
throw your ass out. Oh that's embarrassing.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Costco memberships cost between sixty to one hundred and twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot to get in there,
but man, that's fun. I like Costco a year.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
This is why we can't steal nice things. Yeah, any wait,
that's why what a year?
Speaker 8 (13:54):
This is why we can't steal nice things.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, I can't against steal nice things. I get it.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Sounds cool. Is working on new technology that will help
customers check out faster instead of having a worker check
your receipt before you leave the chain. Is testing out
artificial intelligence that can scan your cart and verify purchases.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Okay, that's not that interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I will I will say this though, and again, I
hate to correct behavior, but I'm seeing it more and
more now and it's bothering me. And so I've got
to remind people. Costco has a race track inside. When
you go into Costco, you get on the track and
you walk towards bake Goods Liquor, which is straight ahead.
(14:39):
Then you make a left at meat and then you
come back through you know, household goods and bread and
snacks and that kind of stuff. But there's a track
and it's you go counterclockwise most costcos you go counterclockwise
where you get in and you go around the clock
(14:59):
around the track.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Do not swim upstream?
Speaker 8 (15:04):
I swim upstream.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
I can't believe I'm not surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, that's wild. Did you do it?
Speaker 8 (15:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (15:12):
Well, I mean I always go over to I always
go clockwise because what I want to get first is over.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I don't even know you. God, I saw two people.
You know, there's there's a main two main arteries, one
that goes deep into Costco and one that goes towards
the registers. And there was two people cart side by side,
two families talking blocking that main artery. And I took
(15:41):
photos of them and I passed them around to friends
and say, how about this crew? How about this crew
blocking up the arteries right down Broadway.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
So someone may have a picture of Angel.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Maybe that's right, age Angel.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I find that I find it so off putting in
it's so weird and wild and and like you're I
don't know.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Well, I didn't understand that there was a certain map
that you take through there. I was always wondering why
there were so many people walking toys.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I see right here bagging in your card.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Yeah, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I will say that the Costco cart is solid. You know,
it is made out of like super steel. That is
a big as nice cart. I enjoy that bumper cars. Yes,
I love it, man, I love it. And I love
getting back into paper goods, you know in the back
there where you buy your paper towels and your your
toilet paper and then there's water there. I love that
(16:42):
Costco man. I enjoy shopping there. I hope they never
kicked me out. I hope they have me forever. I
enjoy that. That whole program.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Got an email here, Hi, Hi, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Was listening to Tim talk about the home robberies and
I can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned or in
the media at all, but last Friday, I was working
on the set of The Morning Show, The Morning Show
at Homby Park in Homby Hills, lapd So there was
a home invasion robbery at a home directly across the
street from where we were shooting around one thirty pm.
(17:22):
One guy took off in a BMW with all the goods,
designer bags, watches the whole run, and left his cohort
in the home. Helicopter circled telling him and put down
his weapon. The perimeter of the home was surrounded. Neighbors
heard the helicopters and came out to see what was
going on. They saw us shooting the show and thought
it was the cop cars and the helicopter were fake
(17:43):
part of the show.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
It was insane.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I can't believe it happened with hundreds of crew members
and people right across the street. And then it says
her name, but I don't want to miss your name.
I don't want to get her in trouble or him whatever.
And then one guy said, hey, if you big heavy
metal guy, what are your top ten heavy metal bands?
I'm like, okay, that's interesting, and I and I thought
about it. I would say Tool maybe number ten, Pantera nine.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Eight. I would probably put led.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Zeppelin in at eight, maybe Judas Priest at seven. I
would have to go Mega Death after that, maybe six,
Slayer five, maybe Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. Either Black Sabbath,
Iron Maiden or Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath for three and four.
(18:36):
Number two is a personal friend of a personal favorite
of mine. Dream Theater. Not as big as you'd think,
but unbelievable. And I think Metallica would have to be
number one. Metallica. Yeah, I had a Metallica poster.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
They have a chick magnet.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
When you're in your you know, late twenties, early thirties,
and you got a Metallica post drup, you're like, oh, wow,
you're heavy medal ah yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Kind of kind of funny, just a little bit, a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We have the pole vaulter in the news.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Guy was in the pole vaulting and he could have
won an Olympic medal. But as we've all seen by now,
as he was trying to jump over the pole with
his pole vault over the bar, his uh we we
got the way, and down came the pole and the
(19:36):
bar and his poll.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Pole vaulter Anthony Amaradi's Olympic dreams had an unexpected nsf
W hurdle.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
During the men's qualifying event at the twenty twenty four
Pierce Olympics August third, the French athlete's manhood dislodges the crossbar,
sending it crashing down.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Now, Belly, I've been telling you for years that this
could happen, and it's the reason that I was not
on the Birmingham High School pole vaulting.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Yeah, you have said that before years. I was shocked
to hear this information.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I remember coach Harris said, hey, he said, you know
you're a skinny kid, you got some speed. You know
you can handle the poll pretty well. Why don't you
be on the team. And I said, Coach, I said, buddy,
I'm going to cost you a lot of championships. Men,
(20:32):
I'm not your guy here, Dude, I'm not your guy.
I'm constantly, you know, watching that pole come down, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Just not your guy.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
You got to get a guy with a tiny wiener
up there.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, well look I just didn't want to be embarrassed,
you know, so kind of a spectacle.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You know, I tried it a couple of times, like, wow, man,
I guess never gonna get over that pole.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
With Anthony visibly upset by his own package, betraying him.
The twenty one year old clutches his head in disappointment
a coming in at fifteenth place in the competition.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, I think he did this on purpose because he
knew he was going to be an also ran. You
know he's going to get fifteenth or sixteenth and the Olympics,
unless you get gold, nobody cares. Nobody really knows your
name unless you're Simone Biles. You get silver, people care
about that. But if you get third, fourth, fifth, sixth, nine, twenty,
if nobody cares, nobody ever remember your name. But now
(21:38):
everybody knows who this guy is because he tried to
get over the bar but his personal pole got in
the way.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
Later, reacting to his elimination in his statement posted by
the French Athletics Federation, saying, it's a big disappointment.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
I'm a big gutted. It's the first.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Time I see it is a rather big disappointment.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
It's a big disappointment. I'm a big gutted.
Speaker 10 (22:03):
It's the first time I've started a competition without any stress.
As I was a total outsider, I only had one
goal to play with the public.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
I was almost there and.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
While Anthony may have not I think there was something
lost in the translation there.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I think that they didn't have their translator available.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
It's the first time I've started a competition without any stress,
as I was a total outsider.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I only had one goal.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And what was the goal?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
To play with the public?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
What yeah, to play with the public?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I think the translator was out having a baguette when
he was talking to the audience.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
To play with the public.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
My one goal was to play with the public. That
doesn't sound right.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
I was almost there.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
And while Anthony may have not woned the Olympics, he's
sure one over the internet with the French athlete's flug
going viral on social media, with the French athlete's fluck
going for.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
With his flub, with his flub.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
With the French athlete's fluck going viral on social media,
one ex user writes, I mean, if you're going to
be famous for losing a pole vault, this is the
way to do it. Another chimes in with some seemingly
French themed humor, posting, oh he brought that bag yet
to the Games.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
And finally, one user shares a message.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Stand up comics over in France, Oh.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
He brought that bag yet to the Games.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
And finally, one user shares a message of encouragement with Anthony,
letting him know winning isn't everything, saying he's going to
stroll out of this Olympics with more ladies' phone numbers
than medals. The twenty twenty four Paaris Games mark Anthony's
first time making it to the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Wow, first time in the Olympics. Good for that gun, and.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
It's sure to be a competition he'll remember for a
very long time.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, and the poor guy or I don't know, great guy,
I don't know. But that was something else to see, man,
something else.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
It's Conway Show, all right, ding it down, we continue here.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
We've had a robbery in Norwalk.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's not just Insino or Palisades, Tarzana, Holmby Hills, it's
spreading and in Norwalk somebody walked into a smoke shop
to try to take their stuff.
Speaker 11 (24:35):
The two outstanding suspects were taken into custody moments ago,
and we'll show you a video of that in a moment.
But this all started about nine o'clock this morning, with
three suspects went inside the classic tobacco smoke shop here
in the Smart and Final Plaza off a Firestone Boulevard
in Norwalk. The store owner opened fire, hitting one of
the suspects. That subpect was transported to Saint Francis. Their
condition is unknown. Now here's video we shot just moments ago.
(24:59):
For several hours, there was a search for these two
outstanding suspects.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Man, it's everywhere, everywhere. Crime is everywhere, man, unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (25:08):
Boy, they gave themselves up pretty quickly once they saw
the canine unit. The dog was going to go into
the backyard. So the two suspects are in custody. There's
no longer a threat to the community. Going to be
a long playing investigation though, as I mentioned, one of
the suspects was shot by the store owner.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Man, people are they're on edge. They're on edge, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I speaking of canine unit, here's something special that I
don't think I'll be buying.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
But maybe Bellio, I think of anybody on.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
The show, maybe you or Angel would get into this craziness.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Maybe maybe maybe Dot Gobana released the perfume called Fifi
in honor of Dominico's Doce's Canine. According to the DG website,
the fragrance is a quote O factory masterpiece, featuring a
touch of musk and the creamy undertone of standard wood.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's perfume for dogs. That's where we are in twenty
twenty four. Who's got a war breaking out in the
Middle East. Aran's about to attack Israel at any moment.
We've got Russia and Ukraine getting all crazy. We got
a very contentious political atmosphere in the United States, and
people are going to the store right now to buy
(26:19):
perfume for their dog. Two different worlds.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Mussy has allergies, so I'm going to pass. Okay, all right,
would you do that?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Angel?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Get a little on adult chain Kabana and kabana perfume
for your dog.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
I think I would if they had an accompanying fragrance
for myself that goes well with the fragrance that the
dog wears.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Not that I want to smell like.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
My dog, but I think if the two the two
cents worked well together, that might be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay, and your bird just looking at everybody like I
can't wait to get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Everyone's crazy.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Moud Bird's flipping me off right now, right.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Oh, factory masterpiece featuring a touch of musk and the
creamy undertone those sandal wood.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh my god, who's doing this? Who's on board here? Ah?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Old factory masterpiece featuring a touch of musk and the
creamy undertone those sandalwood.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
About at the fife costs?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Get this one hundred nine dollars one hundred and nine
dollars for dog perfume.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It also comes with adulta in Gavana color with a tag.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
All right, okay, that's a pass for me.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Actor.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
He said that I can't just go down and get
old spice or brute and spray it on the dog.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Has to be one hundred dollars. One hundred dollars. That's crazy,
all right. We have the Orange County Fair.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We talked about this a little bit yesterday and we
didn't quite get to it because we had some major
fires burning in Sam Bernardino.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
But Orange County Fair.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Guy goes into Orange County Fair with his wife, his kids,
I imagine, and he's like me, where he needs a
little more action. You know, the fare is great, he's
a little more action, so he buys a scratch off
lottery scratch off for the Orange.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
County Fair ended up being a life changing experience for
one person.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
Someone scored one million dollars after buying a multiplier craze
scratcher's ticket at a booth five Star liquor in Westminster
set up. That booth owner says the winner showed a
lot of excitement but wanted to keep it under wraps.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, and wanted to keep it from everybody, including his wife.
Speaker 12 (28:21):
They'll have to claim the prize by mailing the ticket
in or visiting one of nine California Lottery offices.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Where are you in life where you're mailing a million
dollar ticket in? What's going on with you mailing it in?
You imagine that, how nervous you'd be about the mail
getting there, and then, like, you know, three weeks later,
you call, he haven't got my check, Well, we never
received the ticket.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
What you gotta be kidding, Mede.
Speaker 12 (28:46):
They'll have to claim the prize by mailing the ticket
in or visiting one of nine California lottery offices.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, get in your car and go to the lottery office.
Don't rely on the post office to get you that million.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
A similar booth is set up of Ventura County. There.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh my god, people are crazy jes crazy crazy crazy crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
All right, when we come back, we got the powered
