It's KFI AM sixty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app at leafter six,
about seven after six on Wednesdays, we always do a
segment called what's the best donut shop in Orange County? Okay,
all right, well we have got another winner for you here.
(00:22):
They say this might be the best donut shop in
the world, and it's in Orange County. It's definitely the
best in Orange County. Sorry, if you have another donut
shop in Orange County, sorry, there's always second or third,
and that's not bad. That's not bad. But YELP is
naming Orange County's favorite donut shop. Let's find out where
(00:43):
the hell this thing is.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just listen to the sizzle, taste, the drizzle. These are
the award winning donuts at JD Flannel in San Juan Capistrano.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Do you hear that? JD Flannel in San Juan.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Donuts at JD Flannel in San Juan Capistrano.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You bet the Rangel Big God, San Juan Capistrano.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, I have been there.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Any good, They're okay, really, they're just okay.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Well, I mean, maybe maybe it was the particular day
that I wow, I thought it.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Was okay, look all over these guys. Huh.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I went there maybe a year ago, and I thought.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
It was all right, really was it? Was they expensive?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes, okay, they're expensive, and they weren't worth the money.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
There seemed to be a lot of people that liked them.
I it's just my personal preference. I just wasn't really excited.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Oh that's so great, all right, Well maybe this thing
is a buzz then what the hell.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
But there was a long line.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Or not the moment I went in there. But I
think that it's because of the time of day that
I was there. They were probably ending getting ready to
wrap up, and I think that they're really busy from
what I can tell, like earlier.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
In the day.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Do you have an investment in a donut chop down
this street or something that's going on with you?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
That went across the street.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's right, that's right, yeah, winchles, Yeah, yeah, with the
chocolate bars.
Speaker 3 (02:09):

Speaker 7 (02:16):
JD Flannel in San Juan Capistrano.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
We'd never worked really in kitchens.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
For years childhood best friends, John Miller and Dave rohad
found success in corporate America.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Oh that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You know, childhood buddies going in business together making donuts
the dream.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
But they say something was missing.
Speaker 9 (02:35):
There comes a point in your life where you say, Okay,
I want to try something different.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Call it a midlife crisis or an aha moment. The
two settled on a small batch from scratch donut shop.
They quit their jobs and began experimenting.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
Well, we had a little turkey frier in the backyard.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
They found some great a brag.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Huh, we had a little.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
Turkey friar in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Wow, ha's got it going on. Turk fryer in the backyard.
Somebody's made it.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
They found some great flavor profiles.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Blueberry, lemon, poison berry.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Mmmm, maybe angels onto something here.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
They found some great flavor profiles.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Blueberry, lemon, poison berry.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Some that just did how about chocolate or glaze anything.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
Blueberry, lemon, poison berry.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
And some that just did not work.
Speaker 10 (03:25):
Popcorn with donnots just didn't go.
Speaker 8 (03:28):
We thought it would provide a text to it. We
had all these great reasons for putting it out there
and it was awful.
Speaker 9 (03:34):
It was awful.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Maybe that's what Angel had.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, pot smokers, it's streams pot smokers, you know, boys
and berry popcorn shoe flavor.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You know. It's a lot of guys experimenting after a
couple of bongloads. They look delicious. Okay, all right, let's
give them that.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
In January twenty nineteen, they.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Own have you been there, belly on or if it's
not a block away from you, ef.
Speaker 11 (03:57):
It Yeah, if it's not a block away, yeah, yep,
scrow it scru In.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
January twenty nineteen, they opened JD Flannel in a strip mall.
J for John D for Dave and flannel for its
cozy vibe or.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Jeans and flannel kind of guys. But more importantly, flannel
represents warm, authentic inviting.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah you know what flannel also does.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Flannel also protects your skin when the turkey friar explodes
in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's also another tip for you kids.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Of course, they have fan favorites like Old Fashioned and
the Rainbow sprinkles, but this place also has options that
other donut shops don't have. For years, Kendel Heineman had
to stay away from desserts. Whenever I would go to parties,
it would always be like birthday cakes and cupcakes, and
I would always just miss out on everything. But now
(04:47):
it's become tradition for the nine year old with Celiac disease.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh, I see she has celiac.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I thought mom and dad were just getting her there,
you know, late, and she missed all the dessert.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
To get a fried, gluten free chocolate donut after a sleepover.
This is also the first place Avery Labulate tasted a donut.
Speaker 12 (05:04):
My daughter Avery is actually airborne anaphylactic to nuts, so
we've never experienced a donut shop.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That's horrible.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Where these kids, you know, they have those peanut allergies
and they can't you go into a donut shop like
regular kids.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I think kids miss out on a lot of stuff
like that.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Because Miller's daughter also has a nut allergy. The shop
is not free to me.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
It meant the world somebody else understood what we live
every day.
Speaker 12 (05:31):
Here we go on eat.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
The owners credit their team of skilled bakers who help
evolve their seasonal menu one of the many reasons they
say they were named Yelps twenty twenty four Best donut
shop in California.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Wow, best in California. That's saying something. It's a lot
of donut chops in California.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Whether you're number one, right, I'm going to go back
tomorrow good and try it, okay, because I wanted to
like it.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Okay, all right, you'll let us know. How far from
your house is this thing? It's like eight minutes. Oh
is that right? You could ride your bike there.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
My cleaners is next door.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Oh I didn't know that. Wow, look at you.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I got to go to the cleaners anyway, so I
am as well.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You know, you get everything cleaned or what do you
mean everything?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You take everything in, you know, jeans, socks, underpants, the
whole run.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
The whole run, yeah, or just blouses, No, the whole run.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
Whether you're number one in the state, number one in
the country, that's kind of beside the point.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
We just want to be excellent at what we do.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yes, and Angel is going to give you another shot tomorrow.
Best donuts ever? All right?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
All right? And where is this place located? Angel? How
far I mean, where is it? Like? Give us an idea?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
So if you're on the five it sends ha one
Capistrano I'm pretty close to Dellabispo and Comino Capastrano. There's
a big shopping center there. There's a Marshall's in there
and it's next to that.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
How close to Avenita Pico.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Avenue to Pico's down the freeway a little bit, so
probably about on the freeway, probably about five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Okay, that's not bad. That's the only area I know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
That's my then girlfriend now wife had an apartment on
top of the hill there on Avenita Pico and I'm
Jack oh man.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The first time I went to her apartment, she had
candles burning, like, oh, it's gonna be a cool night.
And I found out those candles were on because the
electric company had shut her off about two days before
two broke idiots in the same apartment.
Speaker 13 (07:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
We had some news on Taylor Swift. It's not good,
not good. Somebody wanted to blow up the arena and
kill everybody, and fortunately they were able to sniff that
plot out and make some arrests. But they are not
going to take any chances and have canceled a show
(08:16):
or two.
Speaker 14 (08:17):
Taylor Swift's Eras tour concert scheduled for Vienna have been
canceled after authorities there say two suspects were arrested for
allegedly plotting a terror attack in the city, and official
with the Ministry of the Interior announcing the arrest today
saying one suspect, a nineteen year old, had allegedly pledged
allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State and had
(08:38):
a particular focus on the Swift.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
Concert in Vienna.
Speaker 14 (08:42):
This comes just a day after we learned forty six
year old A Sif Merchant was arrested here in the
US last month and charged with murder for hire by
the Justice.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Department, a new Yeah Fun group HUM A newly.
Speaker 14 (08:54):
Unsealed criminal complaint says the Pakistani national allegedly plotted to
assassinate American politicians of both parties, including former President Donald Trump.
According to multiple ABC US sources.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Charging an individual with ties to Iran who we allege
sought to hire hitman to assassinate a politician or a
US government official on US soil.
Speaker 14 (09:18):
New York federal prosecutor said Merchant spent two weeks in
Iran before he flew to the US, where he hired
people he thought were hitmen to carry out the killings.
The court document said Merchant wanted to quote men who
could do the killing, approximately twenty five people who could
perform a protest as a distraction, and a woman to
(09:38):
do reconnaissance.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
The defenop met with several individuals in New York who
we thought were hitmen, but who were in fact undercover
law enforcement officers.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
H mistake, mistake mistake number one. When you go to
hire hitman and their FBI agents, that never ends well.
Speaker 14 (09:57):
ABC News law enforcement sources sat no target had been
decided by the time Merchant was caught. He was arrested
one day prior to Trump's July thirteenth rally in Pennsylvania,
where Trump was shot in the ear. So a few
hours ago, we learned that Swift's concerts planned in Vienna
have been canceled in light of terror, arrest, barricute of music,
saying they have no choice but to cancel for everyone's safety. However,
(10:21):
tickets will be refunded.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh man, those kids looking forward to that for a
year or so or maybe even more. And finally, Taylor
Swift comes to your hometown, comes to Vienna, and the
show's canceled because there are still some people in this
world who.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Can't behave She'll make it up to them, Is that right?
Speaker 9 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Is that the word? Is that the news? That's Mine's
your opinion?
Speaker 13 (10:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I say right, I thought you're reading news or something.
That's just your opinion. Okay, I think you're probably right. Yeah, yeah,
go over there.
Speaker 15 (10:53):
And I do find it fascinating though that she hasn't
posted to social media or anything. Normally She's somebody that would,
so I don't know if maybe she is shaking up
herself about this because this this is similar to what
happened to Ariana Grande.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
We have canceled her shows.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Right, but arian A Grande that that terror attack happened though, Yeah, yeah,
and then she canceled shows after that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah. Yeah. Oh that's wild. Man. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
These uh, you know, these are just kids, you know six, seven,
eight nine, you know, twelve thirteen and Bellio.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Twenty two, forty five, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Fifty and going to these shows to have a great
time and somebody has to f it up.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's unbelievable. Unbelievable, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Speaking of concerts, Hollywood Bowl tickets Holly for Hollywood Bowl
available to the general general public at a dollar.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
The LA Board of Supervisors is stepping up efforts to
get the word out about one dollar week day tickets
for Hollywood Bowl concerts.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Man, that's a good savings, right, he gets saved about
one hundred and seventy dollars.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Supervisor Katherine Barger is leading the charge. She's calling on
the Department of Parks and Rec to work with the
LA Philharmonic to create a campaign to spread the word
about the promotion. The dollar tickets are available for summer
performances on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
All right, So it's the the upside and downside. The
Ying and the Yang tickets are dollar.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But you got to go Tuesday at ten in the
morning to see the Philharmonic.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
So here's the drawback.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, they didn't give away the you know, like the
Eagles or Pat Bennett tar or I don't know, it's
a good old band foreigner kiss.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You're giving away tickets to the Philharmonic to work with.
Speaker 11 (12:46):
The LA Philharmonic to create a phil harmonic alright, alright, hey,
during that earthquake yesterday, they you know, if you drive
to San Francisco at all.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
On that drive, you know there's two things.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
One is right outside of Bakersfield there's a big cow
meat processing plant that you have to shut your your
vents and your windows before you get there, or your
car smells like a big fart for about twelve miles.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And then the notice.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
The other thing you'll notice off I think Highway ninety
nine is they have that qutes you those little tiny oranges.
The QTS plant had to shut down because that earthquake.
Speaker 12 (13:22):
It's after the Current County earthquake. The produce plant that
ships the fruit qts had to be evacuated on nine
point fifteen last night in Bakersfield. There was a strong
smell of ammonia at the plant.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Oh wait, what why is there ammonia the QUTES plant?
Speaker 12 (13:37):
The workers were evacuated. Current County Fire Departments HASMAD team
was called Firefighter say. It's unclear if the ammonia leak
was related to that earthquake.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
No injuries were reported.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
All right, are they cleaning the cuties with ammonia? Is
that why they're all shiny and clean?
Speaker 7 (13:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Makes me think about quties though those are good belly
you seem like a big QTEs fan, are you.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
I love them, dear love them.
Speaker 10 (14:01):
You love dog.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I love quties. I guess we have a bottom drawer
filled with him. Is that right in the refrigerator keeping
colder outside? Oh cold? Yeah, best cold right there.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And you can't eat just one one?
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
My daughter always busts my balls like I'll go and
have like ten of them.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
She's like, wow, mom, look you had like ten of
those things. That's right here.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I mean I'm blind with the you know, the with
the sugar and the sweetness of quties, And I just
hear my wife and daughter talking like.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Oh man, I think you had ten of those things.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
They smell good and then you pinch the the the
peel and you can see the little citrus squirt come
out of there. It smells great. But don't get the offshoot.
You know, there's offshoot qts that are not that great.
You gotta go with qt's brand to get the.
Speaker 11 (14:53):
Cred de Yeah, offshoot brand it's called I think like almost.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I think it's almost rands or not so cute, you know, averages.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I think it's something like that.
Speaker 13 (15:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Hey, I got an email here from somebody who's in
the know when it comes to I guess Qt's and
why there's ammonia at the qt's plant, And this makes sense.
It's from our buddy, who's a retired captain with the
La County Fire Department goy named Steve Krieger. He said
(15:38):
ammonia is used in some refrigeration systems in large food
storage warehouses. That could have been what happened at the
QTS facility in Bakersfield. All right, thank you, Steve Kreeger.
Guys on top of it, man, So maybe it is.
That makes sense. They're using a refrigeration to keep those
QTS cold. And I like that they're local, that they
only come from Bakersfield right into the store. That's why
(16:01):
they're so fresh. Yeah, you get them in Florida, you
get them in New York and it's not the same.
But we own QTS here. They're literally probably I don't know,
seventy five, one hundred miles from your store.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's a big deal. That's cool deal.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
All right, let's talk about the Olympics future. You know,
people always wondered what sports are gonna be included. These
are the sports that fans want included in the next Olympics,
which happens to be here in Los Angeles, and we're
gonna get On Sunday, the Olympic flag is going to
be presented to Mary Karen Bass and she's gonna fly
(16:39):
home with it, and we get the next Olympics.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
We get them.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
They're gonna be here, so you don't have to, you know,
ignore news all day to watch your Olympics at night
so you're not spoiled by the outcome.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'm sure a lot of people do that. You won't
have to do that next time.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You'll be here and watch them live from arenas and
stadiums that are right here in LA. It's gonna be
a huge party, and we better get ready for it.
It's only four years away, and we better be prepared.
And we also better clean our act up. No more
of the stealing in the valley where the shop breaks
a break ins and encino. We've got to clean up
(17:17):
the streets as well, and we've got to put a
lid on the graffiti and the filth out there in
La got to show the world that we can clean up.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You know, we can get a haircut, take a bath,
and really.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Present our best best face when it comes to the Olympics.
They're gonna be here pretty shortly. All right, Olympic future Sports,
Let's find out what they're going to include.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
All right.
Speaker 16 (17:41):
Finally, this year, parents introduced breaking and sporting events for
the first time, which had as thinking, are there any
others we can see the next games?
Speaker 14 (17:50):
Well, Sports Illustrated publish their list of pitches.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Let's take a look.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
The first one feels like it should already in the Olympics.
You know what you love it?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Bowling?
Speaker 10 (17:58):
Yes, bowling in the olymp Why not? I mean, you've
got breaking? How about this one? Chess?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
How excited?
Speaker 10 (18:05):
Predicted?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Chess is a sport?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Chess?
Speaker 10 (18:08):
Chess?
Speaker 7 (18:09):
How excited predicting?
Speaker 16 (18:10):
Me? Is that?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Mind strategy?
Speaker 10 (18:16):
What you want?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
More movements?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's not a sport.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Chess is not a sport.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
You want to let it go? Well, okay, how about
this one?
Speaker 14 (18:24):
Billiards and I don't look the snookerno.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
Snooker is like billiards, little cousin.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
Here's one more.
Speaker 16 (18:32):
Every Olympics we tune into kayaking and.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Rowing, but a lot of people want the dragon boat.
Speaker 10 (18:37):
They're massive watercrafts that each up to twenty rowers. No
y'all are of them, but that's interesting. What I want
to say too. Right now, we're still thinking pairs.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Okay, yeah, we are to be continued on those checkers records.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
We were saying.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
We would crush, we would dominate.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Okay, Ever, that's enough, all right, let's talk about that shoplifting.
Everybody's worried about shoplifting. There's new technology out there to
nab the guys and gals who find it interesting to
come in and remove property and take off.
Speaker 16 (19:14):
The videos caught by store security cameras are alarming. Smash
and grabs occurring across the country. According to industry analysts,
the retail sector lost one hundred and twelve billion dollars
to DAFT in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Isn't that wild? One hundred and twelve billion dollars.
Speaker 16 (19:33):
That's up roughly from ninety four billion just the year before.
Small businesses are feeling the impact too.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I don't know how a small business days afloat anymore.
They get knocked off every couple of months. It's expensive
for everything, insurance keep the lights on, and then you
hire employees that turn around and rip you off. They
break into your crap and steal all your stuff. And
I don't know how you do it as a small busines.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I really don't you get people that come in slip
and fall sue you belly?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Oh I heard.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I heard one the other day and I and I
reached out to a friend who owns a salon in Burbank.
But Bellio, do you know this is a trend now
in salons in southern California. The women come in, they
get their nails done, their hair done, and you know,
it's like three or four hundred dollars. Is that unusual
(20:29):
to spend three hundred dollars on your hair and nails?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's not?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, So you spend three hundred bucks on high lights?
What are some terms when you use the hair before
the hair highlights?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
What else is there?
Speaker 7 (20:39):
High lights?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Extensions, extensions, okay, okay, And so you could spend.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Three or four or five hundred bucks, Oh my gosh, yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So what happens is they come in, they get everything done,
and then they complain that they don't like it and
they want their money back.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It's happening in almost every salon.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
That's the that's the rip off.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Now when it comes to salons and these poor people
who they can't, they just and then if you don't
give their money back, they go on Yelp or you know,
on social media and they destroy your business.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
That's horrible. It's the worst. Yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I mean, I I'm one of those people, like you're
one of those people.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Do you know.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Got almighty, God mighty. I didn't know she was like that.
If they did a bad job, I still don't know.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
It looks great.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, you're the you're the ying to their yang.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
I really am. I zig when I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
The same way. I'm the same way. I've had a
lot of fr hair cuts. You do now, Yeah, I'm sorry,
that's great, and and I I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I'm like, no, looks great.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I do.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And then you sort of like move it around a
little and you're like, oh, it's not moving the way I.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Want it, and then wear a hat. Yeah a couple
of days. Who cares? It'll grow out?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Who cares? Who cares?
Speaker 6 (21:57):
It has increased tremendously.
Speaker 16 (21:59):
This worker discount grocery store in Canoga Park as shoplifters
swipe about.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Forty I didn't realize it, So that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Last time you got your hair done, you said to
that guy, that was a good job I did.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
Can you believe that?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I said, nice work, buddy. I cried for days.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
You saw me, Oh, I know, I thought one side
of your head was shaved, and you're like, no, no,
it's it just looks.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Like, yeah, it was uneven.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, yeah, I know. But you had it done around Halloween.
I thought you were just looking for.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Like a Halloween look. I did that because you know
that's horrible. Yeah, I said, great job, Yeah it looks okay.
Now it's been like eight months.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, finally filling out a little Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
Forty dollars in goods from his store every year.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Forty grand for this cat store.
Speaker 17 (22:51):
You know, that money is money that could have been
used for improvements in the store, for you know, hiring
an associate or retirement.
Speaker 16 (22:59):
You know, the store has security cameras, but the staff
says those haven't helped much and other theft measures aren't doable.
Locking up smaller pricey items, deters sales, and extra security
is out of the question.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Because hiring a security guard is from the expensive.
Speaker 16 (23:15):
But the store has cut its theft losses thanks to
a new AI technology called vision.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay, well we'll come back. We'll talk about what vision.
What vision is. Maybe that's mispronounced. I don't know vision.
Maybe it's vision, but maybe it's vson. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But we'll find out what this is. How vision can
save you.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
If you own a shop or work at a shop,
you may want to turn your boss on or your
owner onto vision vision.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Find out what that is when we come back.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
We talked about crime a lot because it's out there
a lot, all right.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I know a lot of people accuse us saying we're
overblowing it. We're not. We're not.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Everybody knows it's out there, and everybody afraid of it.
Everybody thinks they're next. When your son or daughter is
driving home, you worry about.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Them coming home. Are they gonna make it? Some a
hole gonna run into them.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Someone's gonna try and steal their car, their purse, their wallet.
We're always worried about crime, and you have to protect
your house. It's your job to do it. As the
man or the woman whoever wears the pants and that relationship.
It's your job to protect that house, and my job
in our house in Burbank is protect it for my
(24:30):
daughter and my wife. And I take and I hate
to say this, I sound like a huge a hole,
but I take very very little, minimal input from them
on how to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Minimal. For instance, there's a door in a This is
how crazy I am.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But I have a little tiny office in our house,
and I put a lock on that door from the outside,
so I can lock that door on the outside. So
if somebody breaks into my office, they also have to
break into that door to get into the house. And
while they're breaking into the into the house, the alarm
is gonna go off. And then when they try to
(25:10):
break into the second door, that's where I'll be standing
waiting for them. But they'll also have to break into
another door, and that's gonna be loud as well, and
so I'm gonna have an opportunity to, you know, to
at least get down there and greet them. But I
take very little input on how to do that. When
I have these bars that I put up on the
(25:32):
on the door to keep the door closed, It's a
bar that goes from the handle to the ground and
you buy them at home deep or lowsed. They don't know,
thirty bucks or so, and it prevents it helps prevent
somebody from kicking the door. And you can't easily kick
it in. It's almost impossible. And so I put those
doors up. My wife constantly either trips over them or
they or knocks them down and lands on her foot,
(25:53):
and she hates them, and she goes, hey, can we
do without these?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I said, no, no, no, no, we can't.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
We can't we I know I seem a little crazy,
but it's my job to keep idiots out of this house.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Let's go to the retail end of this. And there's
a thing out there called Vision.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Vision. Let's find out how vision is going to help you.
Speaker 16 (26:13):
Vision it uses the store's security cameras to detect suspicious
movements by shoppers, like slipping an item in a jacket,
a pocket, or a bag. The staff then gets an
alert on their phones when that happens.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Do you ever do this where you're the store, you're
the hardware store, or I don't know, Target or Walmart,
and you go to a just yourself, you know what
I mean? And you always assume that somebody some cameras
catching you thinking you're putting something down your pants, and
you're not.
Speaker 17 (26:46):
This is a previous test that we made, so you
can see him putting stuff in his pocket.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
See we checked it out in real time.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
That's me.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
We checked it out in real time.
Speaker 16 (26:56):
Our producer put a pricey face cream in her bag,
and within seconds one of the workers gets an alert.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
There ses the see Harek put in the stuff in
the pocket.
Speaker 16 (27:06):
The next step is a little trickier, approaching the thief.
Workers told us they like to be non confrontational and
simply ask the shopper to pay for the item, and
they often do, but sometimes the shopper just bolts.
Speaker 17 (27:18):
Some people just dubbed the thing and run away, and
there's a lot of different reactions.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I was in Galson's about I don't know, maybe a
year ago, and I saw a guy fully loaded cart.
And at Galson's, a loaded cart is eight hundred dollars
worth of crap, and he walks right out the store.
The manager follows him, takes the car, brings it back in,
and the guy said, he said, I was just going
to get my wallet, and I was going to come
back in and pay for everything. And the manager says, well, sir,
(27:48):
you're in your late fifties early sixties. If you don't
mind me observing, you know that's not how it works.
And he said, noh, he goes. I was just I'm sorry,
it's going to get my wallet. He went in out
to his car, he got his wallety, came back and
he paid for all of the groceries, you know, seven
or eight hundred bucks. But if he didn't get caught
leaving the store, he would have gotten away with seven
or eight hundred dollars worth of groceries.
Speaker 16 (28:11):
Ben wak Quinnig is one of the co founders of
the AI technology. The idea came to him in engineering
school after hearing his own families struggles with shoplifting at
their family run stores in Paris. He says, shoplifting impacts
both the store owner and the honest customer.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah, so if you own a business, look into this.
I know we don't have time to do the whole thing,
but it's called vision. Vision, vision, maybe help to help
you out.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Vision.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
All right, tomorrow we'll be out back on probably more crime,
more break.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Ins in the valley and we'll bring him to you.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Moe Kelly who covered that earthquake live last night. Great job,
by the way, Ronner covering that earthquake live. That was awesome,
Thanks very much. I thought at first I was having
some gi issue, and then it went on for about
another thirty seconds and I knew it wasn't me. You know,
this building's on rollers, so it moves a lot longer
than typical buildings, and so this is the greatest place
to be when the big one hits. You want to
(29:03):
be in this building and look outside and watch everything collapse.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Oh, you'll be fine. We feel safe here. Oh yeah,
this building's not going anywhere. I might just sleep here tonight.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
There you go, all right, Boe Kelly and his hook
