Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's
Conway Show. Everybody's talking about the DNC in Chicago, and
tonight's the big night where President Joe Biden comes out
and says good night to everybody, and Gary and Shannon
(00:21):
are there along with Oscar and it sounded great. But
these guys woke up very early three am our time,
and Shannon's still away. Shannon Farren, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Bub Hey, buddy.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I had a nap, so I'm good to go. I'm
a senior citizen as well. Me and Joe Biden are
probably in the same situation right now. He probably just
woke up from his nap as well. It's crazy here, Tim,
like there are the sirens are ubiquitous, like it's all
it's all day, it's all night, just sirens. It's a
freaking police state, which I gotta say makes me feel
really good.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I mean, you've seen law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Like in every capacity, local, federal, state, secret service, capital police.
Like they're all out here, they're on the streets. I
was just looking at some footage from nineteen sixty eight
when s went down.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, they have the same riot gear that they did
in sixty eight. It's like the sky blue helmet and
shirt and it's wild. But here's a little bit of
intel for you. We are on the Magnificent Mile at
the Marriotte. Joe Biden is staying two blocks from us
at the Omni. So the security right now is insanity.
(01:29):
He's going to be the last speaker tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So that's like it's gonna be like eleven pm Eastern time.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Wow, So that'll be something to watch.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, but I heard they had him at the Trump
Hotel in Chicago. Is that not true? Does that not?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You know, it's five thousand people come into Chicago. They're
staying at eight different hotels. There's only one downtown hotel
left out of that, and it's the Trump Hotel. And
then yeah, and then the Illinois delegates said that they
are using words here. Took one on the chin by
staying at the Royal Sinesta, which is right across the
(02:05):
street from the Trump Hotel, so that the other States
delegates don't have to look at the words Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh my god, how sensitive are I? Hey? So Mayor
Karen Bass was on your flight she was.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
On my flight.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I made a total ask myself because I don't know
what to say to her, and so Oscar gives me
a heads up because he's on the same flight.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He's like, hey, she's.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Coming out, like I'm trapped in the back of the plane.
And I was like, cool, I'll get her. So I
get up the plane and I'm waiting for her in
the jetway and I don't have anything to say to
Karen Bass.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You know, I don't really follow.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Don't tell me you went with me. Don't tell me
you went woman to woman and did the shoes or
the hair I did?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I did, Tim, I went straight to my baseline woman.
Miss I said, hey, mayor Bes, my name is Shannon.
I do a radio show in Los Angeles. I said,
you look great at the Olympics. And then I said, Tim,
I've been thinking about that dress all week.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Like what was I thinking? Was I hitting on the woman?
Was it?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Like?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's just insane. I don't know how to talk to people.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I blame the pandemic, I know, but you know what,
when you fly and you meet somebody, you know you're
all going to have three seconds with them, So you
gotta you gotta think quick and come up with some
bs to you know, engage them.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, but like I had at least two hours to
figure that out.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Shoot me.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
He shoots me a text like mid flight like, oh
I think Karen Bass is like right up here. And
I was like, okay, cool, cool, Yeah, I got this.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Was she traveling alone?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now she had a security guy, and then she had
like a handler.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
And then what airline?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Because I know that, you know, iHeart doesn't fly people,
you know, first class? What airline was it?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know, I'm a California girl.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I like Southwest with what I know?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I got that, all right, So she's on Southwest.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, but she had her detail take her to the tarmac.
Like she didn't go through the whole boarding process that
we all did, like the cattle call where you're in
life and you're fighting with people. I'm sixty eight, No,
I'm sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He didn't have to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
So she was already on the plane when we got on.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, Hey, so where you guys are? Are you in
the big Arena? Are you in the United Arena there
with everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Else we are. We're in a great setup.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Thank you, Dave Weies and Robin and Donn and everybody else.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's like the best setup.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Actually, we're like on an elevated stage and it's pretty cool.
We've got rotating iHeartRadio Hearts.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And what about the protesters. I heard there's up to
one hundred thousand of these guys out there, guys, gals
and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, during our show it was about five thousand. Obviously
through the course of the day, more join in. They
were able to breach a fence this afternoon while I
was napping and get through and at least one person
had some sort of like a sledgehammer that was like
beating the chains on the fence. But the police have
been in de escalation training for a year here in Chicago,
(04:58):
knowing gearing up for this, knowing what was going to happen,
like we talked about today, Tien, Like since nineteen sixty eight,
police departments around the country have gone through an evolution
of learning how to deal with idiots right, and they've
gotten quite good at it. So that's what we saw
this afternoon when they were able to breach at least
a portion of the fence, but the police shut it
down pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And is it just cops or is it also a
National Guard?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's everyone, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know, I haven't seen any National Guard troops, but
I have seen Secret Service, Capitol Police, local They've brought
in cops from other states. They bust them in. So
you're walking around the streets here like Michigan Avenue, I'm
just waiting for the riots to descend.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But they're everywhere. Way.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It makes you feel very serious.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So how far are you? Is the hotel from the
United Center? Can you walk?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You could, but we're lazy, so we don't.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I would say it's about three or four miles something
like that.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And are they keeping all the protesters away from the
United Center and from the hotels downtown so far?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Wow, that's a big deal. I mean, that's one hundred
thousand people to keep away. That's a that's a huge,
huge ask.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
One more thing I wanted to tell you. We talked
to Terry mcculloff. I heard, the governor of Virginia.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And he actually had this like totally genuine moment with
us when we asked him, like because he hosted Joe
Biden for a fundraiser in June at his home, like
in his backyard rates eight million dollars for him in
like mid June, and he said, well, you know, I said, well,
how did it go with this whole stepping down thing,
the coup? He must have been pretty pissed off. And
(06:35):
he goes, well, he's Irish like me. Of course he
was pissed off.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I was like, oh, that's a very real moment.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well yeah, and also I can't believe that Terry McCall,
who is the I think a one term governor of Virginia,
he has he has a backyard that can fit six
hundred and fifty people.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Oh, come on, Tim, these are not paupers.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
They're probably mighty.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That is what They've been poor in their whole lives.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I've been I've been working looking for twenty five straight
years in radio, and I could fit maybe ten people
in my backyard. And to be crowded. People will be complaining, Well.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Tim, I know you very well, and I know you're
not a whore.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So that's your problem, all right, Safe travels. Don't let
those protesters get to you, guys, because look, they're smart.
They're not going to blow up today or tomorrow. They're
gonna wait for Wednesday and Thursday and Thursday is supposed
to be the big day. So if I were you
and Gary, I get on a plane tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
There was a moment today when we were walking to
our uber after our show and we saw the skirmish
line and I was like, maybe we should go over there,
and then all three of us looked at each other.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
We're like, em now, all right, I'll be listening tomorrow.
It sounds great. Whoever is in charge of it technically though,
it really sounds like you guys are right in Los Angeles.
It sounds perfect.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's awesome, man, Thank you?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right, well, listening tomorrow, Gary and Shannon Shannon Fair
from the Gary and Shannon Show tomorrow at nine am
from nine am to one pm. And it did sound good, Croz.
You're hearing any of that today, dude, listen I did
on my way in. Yeah, it did sound great. Yeah,
it sounded It sounded like a lot of energy, a
lot of a lot of lot going on in Chicago
right now. And you know what the saving grace in Chicago.
(08:11):
It's not ninety eight degrees. It's sixty five to seventy
degrees all week, and that's gonna save lives. That's gonna
save Lives.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It's Monday, all right, ding dong. So over the weekend
there's been crime, Like there's crime everywhere, and people are
still robbing seven elevens everybody. If you go to a
seven eleven right now, and you walk into a seven eleven,
chances are everybody in there is broke broke ass. They
(08:54):
are in there broke as. Can you use the B
word like a.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Dog, like a female dog?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah? Can you?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Depends on the context, like broke ass? Chez oh to
use that term. I think we can asking the wrong
person here, stephush. Can I use that term broke ass?
Then the B word? I don't think in that context?
All right, So I think everyone knows. Let's all say
it in our cars, you know, I'll say it here.
I can't use the last word. Ready, we're gonna we're
(09:23):
gonna go broke ass. Then the B word. So turn
your radio just for a second, just a little bit.
Everybody in seven eleven.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
They're all broke as cheer all right, there you do, Yeah,
there you go. Everybody's broke at seven eleven. What are
you stealing. What are you going in there for? There's
cheetoh money in there and just barely do they get
do you get you know, you get frequent shopping points
at Sevelan? Do you get frequent robbing points? If you've
(09:54):
like robbed seven seven elevens, you get your eighth free?
Speaker 5 (09:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
No, but everybody in there is busted out and it
takes if you I remember going into a seven MS,
I don't know, maybe a month month ago, and you
know when you want when you're out of beer. Sometimes
you don't realize until eleven o'clock at night you're out
of beer, Like oh no, I got to go to
a seven eleven and grab a six pack for about
forty eight dollars. And when you go to seven eleven,
(10:18):
let's say you pay for something with a twenty man.
As everybody start spinning, nobody knows what to do with it,
like oh, they hold it up to the light and
they have a you know, a racer and they got
a pen that they go over it with. There's like
a twenty minute, you know, a guy comes out with
a monocle and looks at it.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Then they got to get the change from that machine.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That's by their knees. You know that brings out the rolls.
They got to roll it up and stick it in
a tube, and then it goes somewhere for five minutes,
and then you know, it comes back with two dollars
banks with the old vacuum tubes. I don't know what
we're doing. I don't know what we're doing with these,
you know, when you're robbing a seven. Look, there's not
a lot of money in those rolled hot dogs that
(10:59):
roll around day, you know, behind that plexiglass or the
you know, the chicken wings that have been there for
nine hours. There's not a lot of money in that.
Nobody's buying that. I don't see. I don't ever see
anybody buying a slice of pizza, a rolled hot dog,
a roll taketo, or a chicken wing. There, man, are
you gambling? I don't know what got you got going on?
(11:20):
Where you're buying meat from a seven to eleven. I
don't know. Something going on with you. I can't figure
it out, but something going on anyway. More robberies of
seven eleven.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
At least two, possibly three seven elevens were broken into,
and I spoke to two employees at the one behind
me they say, these thieves, they came in, they grabbed
beverages and food and then they left. You can see
though they are open.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
God, they'd even get the money. They just came in
for drinks and food and split man at this hour.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
They did have to board up a window though, But
let's go ahead and get into cirta.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Why are they born up a window? This is really
curious to me. Let's go back and listen to that.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Why they did have to board up a window?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, why did they have to bore up window? Somebody
didn't realize those doors are open twenty four hours a day,
and they what they threw a car through the window
to try to get in. Those doors are open twenty
four hours a day. They never close. They used to
be open from seven am to eleven pm. That's where
they got seven eleven. Now it's two four, twenty four.
(12:19):
They're open twenty four hours a day. Why'd you break
their window?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Do though?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
But let's go ahead and get into some video from
last night. The LAPD tells us the call came in
just after eight pm on the seven thousand block of
West Sunset Boulevard. That's where this seven eleven is located.
Police say a group of twenty to twenty five males
on bicycles broke a window.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, mails man, males. I tell you never see twenty
women walking in and robbing at seven to eleven. It's
always males, those disgusting males.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Police say a group of twenty to twenty five mails.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Ls mails mails on bicycles broke a window and made
their way into the store.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
And that's when they two.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Even the guys robbing them are broke. They don't have
car money. They're on bikes, stealing cheetos, rolled up hot dogs.
I mean, everything is just so like low end with this,
with this crew ran off.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Now it's believed a store on the fifty seven hundred
block of Santa Monica was also targeted.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's same guys, same bikes.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
That store's front window was smashed and covered up.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Okay, all right, another window broken up. That's just that's disgusting.
You know these the doors open, you can get in
through the door. Why are you breaking their windows?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
We are working on getting more information about that location.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And there's about five hundred cameras in a seven to eleven.
There's more cameras in a seven eleven than there are
at Caesar's.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Palace, the third store in the area.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh, another one the third seven eleven.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
These incidents come as Governor Gavin Newsom signed ten new
public safety laws yesterday. The hope is these laws will
help hold criminals accountable for smash and grab robberies, pretty crime,
retail theft, and auto burglaries. There will be stricter penalties,
sentencing enhancements for large scale operations, along with creating new
crimes to see enhanced.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Me I get shot in the background while she's doing
this story.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Along with creating new crimes.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yep, down down boys.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Creating new crimes to see.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Shot just shot, the shot at a customer while she's
doing the story.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Creating new crimes to see, enhanced felony charges and extended
prison sentences. When it comes to retail and property theft,
the laws will also increase enforcement and prosecutions, and the
value of multiple stolen items will now be combined, even
across different victims and counties. This to help meet the
threshold for felony grand theft.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, but how much do you have to steal from
the seven eleven to get to nine hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Well, that's what I was wondering about talking about that.
You know, they keep saying the criminals they're basically got
a calculator and they know how much it takes it
they don't cross that threshold. But I think it's like
criminal hubris at this point. They're so used to not
being prosecuted very everything that they think they can get
away with the additional possible charges of destruction of property
with the glass breaking.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I mean, that's gotta be nine hundred and fifty
bucks right off the bats easily, So then they should
be prosecuted for something other than just the theft. But man,
how how many bags of crapped you have to walk
out of at seven to eleven to add up to
nine hundred and fifty dollars? How many bags at Pringles?
Springles for those chocolate donuts that we used to get
with coffee when you're younger, and you can handle that.
(15:26):
Now you're like, I don't know if I can handle
those little chocolate donuts anymore. That one. Also, the ones
that have crumble on it, they taste a little like coconut.
Those were great scrab a bucket and filled it up
with slurpee.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
We will see stricter penalties for items stolen from vehicles
as well. Now, this is what the governor had to
say yesterday.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
These bills will strengthen existing laws, they'll enhance other laws. Uh,
and they will address the challenges that are well outside
the purview of previous initiatives and laws like Prop.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Forty seven.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
And that's the issue of organized retail theft, the.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Issue of cereal theft, the issue that is.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Front and center in the consciousness of so many Californians.
You see it online social media, you see it on
the nightly news.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I have no idea what that means that whole run,
no idea.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
When it comes to the seven eleven robberies, we are
working on.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Getting more the purview and the conscious and all that crap.
It's guys stealing stuff. That's what it is when it
comes now, No, there's no perview, there's no consciousness. It's
guys putting crap in their in their coats and walking out.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
When it comes to the seven eleven robberies, we are
working on getting more information and we'll bring it to
you when we get it. But if you do have
any details about what happened, at these stories.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I do feel bad for the guys to work at
seven eleven because I've been at a seven eleven and
I think everybody in there is robbing the place. Everybody
looks like they're robbing the place. Everyone that walks into
a seven eleven, you're like, oh, here we go, game off.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Yeah, they're not walking through the aisles, they're shuffling through
the small aisles.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
And then they always got that the guy works there
is always trying to keep an eye on everybody every
and he assumes that everybody stealing from them. Everybody. Man,
what a racket that is. I do like the seven
to eleven. It is the wild wild West. Though when
you walk in, you don't know whether you're gonna get
killed or get your items and get the hell out.
It's kind of interesting, you know. It's like going on
a carnival ride put together by crack addicts. You don't
(17:15):
know whether you're gonna survive the ride, and there's sort
of a mystery to that that adds a little thrill
to it.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
We have some bad news for you, pretty bad news.
Electric bills skyrocketing. A couple of stories out here about
skyrocketing electric prices going through the roof. Everyone's gonna pay
more and another way to wipe us out. We're getting
(17:49):
wiped out with this time with electricity, and you're gonna
see it in your next bill. You're gonna be shocked.
Let's find out who's getting posed here.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
It's been so hot, everybody's turning on the AC, the fans, and.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Then the bills coming.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, and it just seems like he gets smacked around constantly.
And I've been hearing from so many local Edison customers
who say, what is going on? Why is my bill
so high? Okay, we got answers for you, and it's
not necessarily Edison's fault. You can blame this date of
California for this, because they're requiring all utilities in the
state to roll out what's called time of use energy pricing.
(18:27):
And the way this works is the energy costs more
during peak hours.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Okay, that makes sense, all right.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The energy costs more during peak hours four to seven
for example, four PM to seven pm.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh wait a minute, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
During peak hours.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So we we are the peak hour show four to
seven pm. Weir, yeah, we are, so don't buy you know,
don't skip on electricity and when it comes to your radio,
even though it's at a cost of a little market you know.
Oh yeah, I have one of those. Yeah, you know,
crank it for like twenty minutes of your arm looks
like popeyes. Get about thirty seconds, yeah, thirty seconds, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(19:05):
you get a station break.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
During peak hours four to seven for example, four pm
to seven pm.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
All right, we're the peak hour show. That's why we
should sell this thing. We're peak hours.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
That's when everyone has their AC's running. That's when a
lot of people are putting demand.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
On the grid.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
And so what this system is about is trying to
create an economic incentive to shift consumer behavior, to prod
consumers into not using their appliances during peak hours, but
instead to move some of that laundry, for example, washing
the dishes into off peak hours. The idea here being
that you're not going to use a stick of raising
(19:42):
people's rates. Instead, you're going to create the carrot of
charging lower rates at other times. At least that's how
it's supposed.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
To be, right, So we're quickly becoming the Soviet Union
where you know the electricity will be on three hours
a day and you'll just enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You'll enjoy that for many, especially lower income families. No,
this is a very onerous system. It's created higher bills
for some people, and all reason's questions about fairness. After all,
it's your appliance. Energy is energy. Why are you being
ostensibly punished for using your stuff at times when you
want to? But the idea here is that our gridg
(20:21):
is simply can't take the demand, and as the population
continues to grow, we have to create some way to
shift behavior.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Is this Lazarus? Is that the guys It is David Lazarus,
and he sounds like you if you just close your
eyes and don't do it if you're driving. But it
does sound like Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Ostensibly punished for using your stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Use it. You're punished for using your stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
At times when you want to, at times.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
When you want to. America, America man.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
But the idea here is that our gridge is simply
can't take the demand.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
And you think I'm the first guy that compared David
Lazart the Donald Trump. Yes, so yeah, well buy that.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Our gridge is simply can't take the demand, and as
the population continues to.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
We can't take the demand because a lot of people
have electric cars too, and and you know, so please
don't charge them between four and seven. You're gonna get roasted.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Our gridge is simply can't take the demand. And as
the population continues to grow, we have to create some
way to shift behavior. And that's what this is about,
trying to get more and more people to use the
grid at off peak hours ideally. Now, I know that
a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, but the problem is, you know, you need your
air conditioner when it's I used to us I used
to know the rule thumb here you need air conditioning
when it's what was that the rest of this wrote
it down. Oh, here it is. You need air conditioning
when it's hot. That's what it is. Ah, that's what
(21:55):
I was missing. Hot four and seven hot hot, not
hot hot hot.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I know that a lot of people are saying, yeah,
but my bill keeps going up. But I'm trying to
do my best. Yeah, it's a problem, clearly, and there's
a lot of growing pains to all of this. In fact,
I just heard from somebody who's out in the desert
who said, what am I supposed to do. I use
my AC all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, they live in the desert.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Now I'm getting punished, So indeed there are issues with
all of them.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, here's another David lazaruth moment. Lazarus moment I've had.
How does he know somebody lives in the desert. He
doesn't seem like a desert guy. That must have been
I think he's kidding. I don't think that that guy
seems like a city chap, you know, like everybody knows
there's right in downtown in a loft or Santa Monica.
(22:40):
I don't know how you met somebody who lives in
the desert.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
In fact, I just heard from somebody who's out in
the desert who's.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Oh it may have been a listener, not a friend.
I bet he would be hard pressed to name anybody
lives in the desert that he's friends with. And I'm
not saying as a as a I'm not condemning him
for it. I just don't think he moves out in
that area.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
What am I supposed to do? I use my AC
all the time. That's right now I'm getting punished. So indeed,
there are issues with all of this.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Do you pay your electric bill or is that John
that pays it?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
John does?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, kind of a kept woman, eh, very much. So
do you have any idea what you pay? Or you
just heard it? You sit on the couch while he
pays all the bills. Yes, you heard it went up.
That's the room around the house.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
Yeah, there was some murmuring about it going up.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I was I was too busy with the air.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Conditioning on watching TV that I didn't hear what he said. Circles,
you got the air blowing on you watching that energy
sucking TV that Mark Thompson gave you.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And John's in the back sweating his ass all paying
these bills.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Yes, And I think I was doing the dishes and
a little laundry too, al right, okay, and John's just
like god him, what's going on with this.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
At the same time, I do want to recommend if
you are having trouble paying your utility bills, contact the company.
These guys know that there's a lot of pain out there,
especially for lower income households.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Look, you can just you can negotiate that like your
cable bill. You can say, oh, I don't want to
pay that much.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
And they will work with you, not to wipe out
your bill, but to create a payment plan that is
more amenable and more tolerable for you. So do make
that effort, because if you just sit back and take
the pain, it's just going to get more painful.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, it's gonna get worse. That's horrible. I've noticed that
the electricity is actually absolutely gone through.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
There.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
It is Monday. The Democratic Invention. Joe Biden will be
speaking later tonight. I think he goes on at seven
fifteen our time. That's what I heard. So I don't know,
MOS going to dip in on it whatever, but it
should be interesting to listen to or watch. All Right,
there's a an at home test for syphilis. How about this?
Speaker 9 (25:07):
In the meantime, fifty giving the green lines to the
first at home syphilis test.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Wow, that's a big deal. Bellio must be so excited.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Well, actually I'm not Why what's going on? I had
that idea?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Oh no, that's right, Belly, Oh no, no, that's right.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yes, yes, yeah, me?
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Is this a joke?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
No, no, Bellio, I swear when when we first started working together.
Belly would always talk about the at home syphilis test.
There wasn't any at home syphilist test, and you were
raising money. You put a website together.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
I had, like my mom invested, like took money out
of her four O one cake.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, because she thought it was like a great I
remember that.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
And I had a couple of investors.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I remember that, Belly, you had people in here. Is
this Wow, you were like the Elizabeth what's her name
who I got thrown in jail. Yeah, you're the Elizabeth
Holmes of at homeless testing. But god, what a brag?
Speaker 10 (26:03):
Not anymore?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
That just totally bums me out.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And you had those shirts, well not shirts, but you
had an idea for shirts. No, I did get a shirt. Yeah,
I have a box of them in the garage, spend
less on syphi less. I remember that. And and you
were you were you were, like you know, you were
known as the syphilist queen here on the fourth floor.
Thank you, you know, yeah, thank you? And I hope
(26:28):
people knew it was the behind the scenes version, you know.
Oh oh I think they did. I think they did.
But did your mom? I know your mom tried to
invest in your at home syphilis test. Did she test
because she she loves you or she thinks you could
have passed it on to her? I don't.
Speaker 10 (26:43):
I didn't know, kind of personal Okay, I don't really
get into that point.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Okay, all right, but bellio I, that is true.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Though.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
When we first started working together, you said there are
no at home syphless tests, and and I didn't ask,
you know what your connect too it was, but but
you were a big proponent of that.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
No, honestly, I had you know, that's true. Vesters.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
You know, you had a whole I had, like you said,
the website of the whole market. And it's just I
took like a pause, right, and look what happens, and Belly,
you know what I feel. I feel terrible because you
could have been a millionaire.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I know, I'm so glad.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I know this really upsets me.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I could see this thing. I know. I know syphilis
was your thing. You always talked about that syphilis was
my thing, yes, And and you always had to explain
that to people, you know, because you would meet people, Hey,
siphil is my thing, and like what the hell.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Yeah, they're back on boogaloo.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
When they make explain. Yeah, I think you should sue
these people, because we talked about that on the air
when we we first.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Started working again, thinking I'm wondering, like, you know, who's
behind this and where they got the idea. I mean,
I do have some you got some paper trail, I do.
I mean, I don't know if you ever contacted the FDA.
I don't know if you got to that point or not.
But man, I was in the process, you know, I
had all this stuff going on, and I said, I
(28:12):
have to put this on the back burner for a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
And this all came around because you know that those
were when the first like rector what is that rectum cancer? Yeah,
when those had home tests were coming out, and you said,
there's no syphilis test at home. And you also said
that it's embarrassing to go to the doctor and announce
that you're there for the syphilist test and you want
to do it at home, in the privacy of your
(28:37):
own home.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
Remember when we when we talked about it, I said,
I don't know if we should talk about this on.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
The air, Yes, And we didn't. We didn't really, I mean,
we really.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
Kept it off the for the most yeah, we vaguely
mentioned I was working on something.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Right, and I mean we would refer to you as
the syphilist queen, but we were just kidding. Yeah, it
was like a ha ha ha ha. But yeah, and
I remember when this is great but when she Bellio.
It is a long story, but Bellio met John, her
current husband and her only husband. I think yes through
kl A C. You were on the show and they said, hey,
(29:12):
if you want to date Bellio, you know, call this number.
And they were down to like two candidates. Well it
wasn't just want. It wasn't that like raw. It wasn't
it was like it was a contest. When a date
with me, you just call up the date. I didn't
know all the details, clearly, Yeah, I guess the nuances
(29:33):
of that, you know, of throwing you out there was
a little more respectable.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
It was more respectable than your you don't want to
date be call this stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
That's something you'd see in a bathroom at Beroni's when
you're like in third grade. That's okay. But but I
remember John asking, you know, so, what's going on with
her and the syphilis queen? And we had to explain no, no, no,
She wanted to do the at home tests.
Speaker 10 (29:59):
Yeah, he was a little apprehensive, as as human you
should be.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, when I explained, no, this is an idea.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
I have an invention in h So yeah, they stole
your idea, bell clearly they did. Yeah, nobody was talking
about this five, six, seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Nobody, nobody, And now it's gonna be. It's come together.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Cases of the sexually transmitted infections are going up across
the US and new tests are showcasing this result.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It's called the first What a brag that the test
syphilis tests or syphilis sores are going up in America
when that should be on the welcome sign at LAX.
Welcome to Lax from at the International Terminal Capital of
all syphilis.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Are showcasing this result, it's called the first to know. Basically,
you just need a single drop of blood and then
results available in just fifteen minutes, but they have to
be confirmed by doctor Balio.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
This is your idea you were going to do with
the blood tests, very little blood, and you had worked
it out, you had a doctor on board. You were
the syphless Queen. Seriously, we got to stop talking about
it because I'm getting bron really kids.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
Okay, kids may roll out next month with cost starting
at thirty dollars, which is affordable. And that is a
big deal because the CDC says the number of reported
syphliss cases has gone up by eighty percent between twenty
eighteen and twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, everyone's staying home with COVID and they siphlessed it up.
All right, that's wild man belly. Oh, that's you know.
They should still hire you to do the commercials though,
you know, because you are the syphless Queen. Yeah, I
guess I could do that brag.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty
It's KMF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's
Conway Show. Everybody's talking about the DNC in Chicago, and
tonight's the big night where President Joe Biden comes out
and says good night to everybody, and Gary and Shannon
(00:21):
are there along with Oscar and it sounded great. But
these guys woke up very early three am our time,
and Shannon's still away. Shannon Farren, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Bub Hey, buddy.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I had a nap, so I'm good to go. I'm
a senior citizen as well. Me and Joe Biden are
probably in the same situation right now. He probably just
woke up from his nap as well. It's crazy here, Tim,
like there are the sirens are ubiquitous, like it's all
it's all day, it's all night, just sirens. It's a
freaking police state, which I gotta say makes me feel
really good.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I mean, you've seen law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Like in every capacity, local, federal, state, secret service, capital police.
Like they're all out here, they're on the streets. I
was just looking at some footage from nineteen sixty eight
when s went down.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, they have the same riot gear that they did
in sixty eight. It's like the sky blue helmet and
shirt and it's wild. But here's a little bit of
intel for you. We are on the Magnificent Mile at
the Marriotte. Joe Biden is staying two blocks from us
at the Omni. So the security right now is insanity.
(01:29):
He's going to be the last speaker tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So that's like it's gonna be like eleven pm Eastern time.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Wow, So that'll be something to watch.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, but I heard they had him at the Trump
Hotel in Chicago. Is that not true? Does that not?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You know, it's five thousand people come into Chicago. They're
staying at eight different hotels. There's only one downtown hotel
left out of that, and it's the Trump Hotel. And
then yeah, and then the Illinois delegates said that they
are using words here. Took one on the chin by
staying at the Royal Sinesta, which is right across the
(02:05):
street from the Trump Hotel, so that the other States
delegates don't have to look at the words Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh my god, how sensitive are I? Hey? So Mayor
Karen Bass was on your flight she was.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
On my flight.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I made a total ask myself because I don't know
what to say to her, and so Oscar gives me
a heads up because he's on the same flight.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He's like, hey, she's.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Coming out, like I'm trapped in the back of the plane.
And I was like, cool, I'll get her. So I
get up the plane and I'm waiting for her in
the jetway and I don't have anything to say to
Karen Bass.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You know, I don't really follow.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Don't tell me you went with me. Don't tell me
you went woman to woman and did the shoes or
the hair I did?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I did, Tim, I went straight to my baseline woman.
Miss I said, hey, mayor Bes, my name is Shannon.
I do a radio show in Los Angeles. I said,
you look great at the Olympics. And then I said, Tim,
I've been thinking about that dress all week.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Like what was I thinking? Was I hitting on the woman?
Was it?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Like?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's just insane. I don't know how to talk to people.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I blame the pandemic, I know, but you know what,
when you fly and you meet somebody, you know you're
all going to have three seconds with them, So you
gotta you gotta think quick and come up with some
bs to you know, engage them.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, but like I had at least two hours to
figure that out.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Shoot me.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
He shoots me a text like mid flight like, oh
I think Karen Bass is like right up here. And
I was like, okay, cool, cool, Yeah, I got this.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Was she traveling alone?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now she had a security guy, and then she had
like a handler.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
And then what airline?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Because I know that, you know, iHeart doesn't fly people,
you know, first class? What airline was it?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know, I'm a California girl.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I like Southwest with what I know?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I got that, all right, So she's on Southwest.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, but she had her detail take her to the tarmac.
Like she didn't go through the whole boarding process that
we all did, like the cattle call where you're in
life and you're fighting with people. I'm sixty eight, No,
I'm sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He didn't have to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
So she was already on the plane when we got on.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, Hey, so where you guys are? Are you in
the big Arena? Are you in the United Arena there
with everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Else we are. We're in a great setup.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Thank you, Dave Weies and Robin and Donn and everybody else.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's like the best setup.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Actually, we're like on an elevated stage and it's pretty cool.
We've got rotating iHeartRadio Hearts.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And what about the protesters. I heard there's up to
one hundred thousand of these guys out there, guys, gals
and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, during our show it was about five thousand. Obviously
through the course of the day, more join in. They
were able to breach a fence this afternoon while I
was napping and get through and at least one person
had some sort of like a sledgehammer that was like
beating the chains on the fence. But the police have
been in de escalation training for a year here in Chicago,
(04:58):
knowing gearing up for this, knowing what was going to happen,
like we talked about today, Tien, Like since nineteen sixty eight,
police departments around the country have gone through an evolution
of learning how to deal with idiots right, and they've
gotten quite good at it. So that's what we saw
this afternoon when they were able to breach at least
a portion of the fence, but the police shut it
down pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And is it just cops or is it also a
National Guard?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's everyone, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know, I haven't seen any National Guard troops, but
I have seen Secret Service, Capitol Police, local They've brought
in cops from other states. They bust them in. So
you're walking around the streets here like Michigan Avenue, I'm
just waiting for the riots to descend.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But they're everywhere. Way.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It makes you feel very serious.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So how far are you? Is the hotel from the
United Center? Can you walk?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You could, but we're lazy, so we don't.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I would say it's about three or four miles something
like that.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And are they keeping all the protesters away from the
United Center and from the hotels downtown so far?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Wow, that's a big deal. I mean, that's one hundred
thousand people to keep away. That's a that's a huge,
huge ask.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
One more thing I wanted to tell you. We talked
to Terry mcculloff. I heard, the governor of Virginia.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And he actually had this like totally genuine moment with
us when we asked him, like because he hosted Joe
Biden for a fundraiser in June at his home, like
in his backyard rates eight million dollars for him in
like mid June, and he said, well, you know, I said, well,
how did it go with this whole stepping down thing,
the coup? He must have been pretty pissed off. And
(06:35):
he goes, well, he's Irish like me. Of course he
was pissed off.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I was like, oh, that's a very real moment.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well yeah, and also I can't believe that Terry McCall,
who is the I think a one term governor of Virginia,
he has he has a backyard that can fit six
hundred and fifty people.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Oh, come on, Tim, these are not paupers.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
They're probably mighty.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That is what They've been poor in their whole lives.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I've been I've been working looking for twenty five straight
years in radio, and I could fit maybe ten people
in my backyard. And to be crowded. People will be complaining, Well.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Tim, I know you very well, and I know you're
not a whore.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So that's your problem, all right, Safe travels. Don't let
those protesters get to you, guys, because look, they're smart.
They're not going to blow up today or tomorrow. They're
gonna wait for Wednesday and Thursday and Thursday is supposed
to be the big day. So if I were you
and Gary, I get on a plane tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
There was a moment today when we were walking to
our uber after our show and we saw the skirmish
line and I was like, maybe we should go over there,
and then all three of us looked at each other.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
We're like, em now, all right, I'll be listening tomorrow.
It sounds great. Whoever is in charge of it technically though,
it really sounds like you guys are right in Los Angeles.
It sounds perfect.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's awesome, man, Thank you?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right, well, listening tomorrow, Gary and Shannon Shannon Fair

from nine am to one pm. And it did sound good, Croz.
You're hearing any of that today, dude, listen I did
on my way in. Yeah, it did sound great. Yeah,

lot of a lot of lot going on in Chicago
right now. And you know what the saving grace in Chicago.
(08:11):
It's not ninety eight degrees. It's sixty five to seventy
degrees all week, and that's gonna save lives. That's gonna
save Lives.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

of beer, Like oh no, I got to go to
a seven eleven and grab a six pack for about
forty eight dollars. And when you go to seven eleven,
(10:18):
let's say you pay for something with a twenty man.
As everybody start spinning, nobody knows what to do with it,
like oh, they hold it up to the light and
they have a you know, a racer and they got
a pen that they go over it with. There's like
a twenty minute, you know, a guy comes out with
a monocle and looks at it.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Then they got to get the change from that machine.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That's by their knees. You know that brings out the rolls.
They got to roll it up and stick it in
a tube, and then it goes somewhere for five minutes,
and then you know, it comes back with two dollars
banks with the old vacuum tubes. I don't know what
we're doing. I don't know what we're doing with these,
you know, when you're robbing a seven. Look, there's not
a lot of money in those rolled hot dogs that
(10:59):
roll around day, you know, behind that plexiglass or the
you know, the chicken wings that have been there for
nine hours. There's not a lot of money in that.
Nobody's buying that. I don't see. I don't ever see
anybody buying a slice of pizza, a rolled hot dog,
a roll taketo, or a chicken wing. There, man, are
you gambling? I don't know what got you got going on?
(11:20):
Where you're buying meat from a seven to eleven. I
don't know. Something going on with you. I can't figure
it out, but something going on anyway. More robberies of
seven eleven.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
At least two, possibly three seven elevens were broken into,
and I spoke to two employees at the one behind
me they say, these thieves, they came in, they grabbed
beverages and food and then they left. You can see
though they are open.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
God, they'd even get the money. They just came in
for drinks and food and split man at this hour.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
They did have to board up a window though, But
let's go ahead and get into cirta.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Why are they born up a window? This is really
curious to me. Let's go back and listen to that.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Why they did have to board up a window?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, why did they have to bore up window? Somebody
didn't realize those doors are open twenty four hours a day,
and they what they threw a car through the window
to try to get in. Those doors are open twenty
four hours a day. They never close. They used to
be open from seven am to eleven pm. That's where
they got seven eleven. Now it's two four, twenty four.
(12:19):
They're open twenty four hours a day. Why'd you break
their window?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Do though?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
But let's go ahead and get into some video from
last night. The LAPD tells us the call came in
just after eight pm on the seven thousand block of
West Sunset Boulevard. That's where this seven eleven is located.
Police say a group of twenty to twenty five males
on bicycles broke a window.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, mails man, males. I tell you never see twenty
women walking in and robbing at seven to eleven. It's
always males, those disgusting males.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Police say a group of twenty to twenty five mails.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Ls mails mails on bicycles broke a window and made
their way into the store.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
And that's when they two.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Even the guys robbing them are broke. They don't have
car money. They're on bikes, stealing cheetos, rolled up hot dogs.
I mean, everything is just so like low end with this,
with this crew ran off.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Now it's believed a store on the fifty seven hundred
block of Santa Monica was also targeted.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's same guys, same bikes.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
That store's front window was smashed and covered up.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Okay, all right, another window broken up. That's just that's disgusting.
You know these the doors open, you can get in
through the door. Why are you breaking their windows?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
We are working on getting more information about that location.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And there's about five hundred cameras in a seven to eleven.
There's more cameras in a seven eleven than there are
at Caesar's.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Palace, the third store in the area.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh, another one the third seven eleven.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
These incidents come as Governor Gavin Newsom signed ten new
public safety laws yesterday. The hope is these laws will
help hold criminals accountable for smash and grab robberies, pretty crime,
retail theft, and auto burglaries. There will be stricter penalties,
sentencing enhancements for large scale operations, along with creating new
crimes to see enhanced.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Me I get shot in the background while she's doing
this story.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Along with creating new crimes.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yep, down down boys.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Creating new crimes to see.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Shot just shot, the shot at a customer while she's
doing the story.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Creating new crimes to see, enhanced felony charges and extended
prison sentences. When it comes to retail and property theft,
the laws will also increase enforcement and prosecutions, and the
value of multiple stolen items will now be combined, even
across different victims and counties. This to help meet the
threshold for felony grand theft.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, but how much do you have to steal from
the seven eleven to get to nine hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Well, that's what I was wondering about talking about that.
You know, they keep saying the criminals they're basically got
a calculator and they know how much it takes it
they don't cross that threshold. But I think it's like
criminal hubris at this point. They're so used to not
being prosecuted very everything that they think they can get
away with the additional possible charges of destruction of property
with the glass breaking.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I mean, that's gotta be nine hundred and fifty
bucks right off the bats easily, So then they should
be prosecuted for something other than just the theft. But man,
how how many bags of crapped you have to walk
out of at seven to eleven to add up to
nine hundred and fifty dollars? How many bags at Pringles?
Springles for those chocolate donuts that we used to get
with coffee when you're younger, and you can handle that.
(15:26):
Now you're like, I don't know if I can handle
those little chocolate donuts anymore. That one. Also, the ones
that have crumble on it, they taste a little like coconut.
Those were great scrab a bucket and filled it up
with slurpee.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
We will see stricter penalties for items stolen from vehicles
as well. Now, this is what the governor had to
say yesterday.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
These bills will strengthen existing laws, they'll enhance other laws. Uh,
and they will address the challenges that are well outside
the purview of previous initiatives and laws like Prop.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Forty seven.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
And that's the issue of organized retail theft, the.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Issue of cereal theft, the issue that is.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Front and center in the consciousness of so many Californians.
You see it online social media, you see it on
the nightly news.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I have no idea what that means that whole run,
no idea.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
When it comes to the seven eleven robberies, we are
working on.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Getting more the purview and the conscious and all that crap.
It's guys stealing stuff. That's what it is when it
comes now, No, there's no perview, there's no consciousness. It's
guys putting crap in their in their coats and walking out.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
When it comes to the seven eleven robberies, we are
working on getting more information and we'll bring it to
you when we get it. But if you do have
any details about what happened, at these stories.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I do feel bad for the guys to work at
seven eleven because I've been at a seven eleven and
I think everybody in there is robbing the place. Everybody
looks like they're robbing the place. Everyone that walks into
a seven eleven, you're like, oh, here we go, game off.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Yeah, they're not walking through the aisles, they're shuffling through
the small aisles.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
And then they always got that the guy works there
is always trying to keep an eye on everybody every
and he assumes that everybody stealing from them. Everybody. Man,
what a racket that is. I do like the seven
to eleven. It is the wild wild West. Though when
you walk in, you don't know whether you're gonna get
killed or get your items and get the hell out.
It's kind of interesting, you know. It's like going on
a carnival ride put together by crack addicts. You don't
(17:15):
know whether you're gonna survive the ride, and there's sort
of a mystery to that that adds a little thrill
to it.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
We have some bad news for you, pretty bad news.
Electric bills skyrocketing. A couple of stories out here about
skyrocketing electric prices going through the roof. Everyone's gonna pay
more and another way to wipe us out. We're getting
(17:49):
wiped out with this time with electricity, and you're gonna
see it in your next bill. You're gonna be shocked.
Let's find out who's getting posed here.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
It's been so hot, everybody's turning on the AC, the fans, and.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Then the bills coming.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, and it just seems like he gets smacked around constantly.
And I've been hearing from so many local Edison customers
who say, what is going on? Why is my bill
so high? Okay, we got answers for you, and it's
not necessarily Edison's fault. You can blame this date of
California for this, because they're requiring all utilities in the
state to roll out what's called time of use energy pricing.
(18:27):
And the way this works is the energy costs more
during peak hours.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Okay, that makes sense, all right.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The energy costs more during peak hours four to seven
for example, four PM to seven pm.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh wait a minute, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
During peak hours.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So we we are the peak hour show four to
seven pm. Weir, yeah, we are, so don't buy you know,
don't skip on electricity and when it comes to your radio,
even though it's at a cost of a little market you know.
Oh yeah, I have one of those. Yeah, you know,
crank it for like twenty minutes of your arm looks
like popeyes. Get about thirty seconds, yeah, thirty seconds, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(19:05):
you get a station break.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
During peak hours four to seven for example, four pm
to seven pm.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
All right, we're the peak hour show. That's why we
should sell this thing. We're peak hours.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
That's when everyone has their AC's running. That's when a
lot of people are putting demand.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
On the grid.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
And so what this system is about is trying to
create an economic incentive to shift consumer behavior, to prod
consumers into not using their appliances during peak hours, but
instead to move some of that laundry, for example, washing
the dishes into off peak hours. The idea here being
that you're not going to use a stick of raising
(19:42):
people's rates. Instead, you're going to create the carrot of
charging lower rates at other times. At least that's how
it's supposed.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
To be, right, So we're quickly becoming the Soviet Union
where you know the electricity will be on three hours
a day and you'll just enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You'll enjoy that for many, especially lower income families. No,
this is a very onerous system. It's created higher bills
for some people, and all reason's questions about fairness. After all,
it's your appliance. Energy is energy. Why are you being
ostensibly punished for using your stuff at times when you
want to? But the idea here is that our gridg
(20:21):
is simply can't take the demand, and as the population
continues to grow, we have to create some way to
shift behavior.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Is this Lazarus? Is that the guys It is David Lazarus,
and he sounds like you if you just close your
eyes and don't do it if you're driving. But it
does sound like Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Ostensibly punished for using your stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Use it. You're punished for using your stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
At times when you want to, at times.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
When you want to. America, America man.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
But the idea here is that our gridge is simply
can't take the demand.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
And you think I'm the first guy that compared David
Lazart the Donald Trump. Yes, so yeah, well buy that.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Our gridge is simply can't take the demand, and as
the population continues to.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
We can't take the demand because a lot of people
have electric cars too, and and you know, so please
don't charge them between four and seven. You're gonna get roasted.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Our gridge is simply can't take the demand. And as
the population continues to grow, we have to create some
way to shift behavior. And that's what this is about,
trying to get more and more people to use the
grid at off peak hours ideally. Now, I know that
a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, but the problem is, you know, you need your
air conditioner when it's I used to us I used
to know the rule thumb here you need air conditioning
when it's what was that the rest of this wrote
it down. Oh, here it is. You need air conditioning
when it's hot. That's what it is. Ah, that's what
(21:55):
I was missing. Hot four and seven hot hot, not
hot hot hot.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I know that a lot of people are saying, yeah,
but my bill keeps going up. But I'm trying to
do my best. Yeah, it's a problem, clearly, and there's
a lot of growing pains to all of this. In fact,
I just heard from somebody who's out in the desert
who said, what am I supposed to do. I use
my AC all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, they live in the desert.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Now I'm getting punished, So indeed there are issues with
all of them.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, here's another David lazaruth moment. Lazarus moment I've had.
How does he know somebody lives in the desert. He
doesn't seem like a desert guy. That must have been
I think he's kidding. I don't think that that guy
seems like a city chap, you know, like everybody knows
there's right in downtown in a loft or Santa Monica.
(22:40):
I don't know how you met somebody who lives in
the desert.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
In fact, I just heard from somebody who's out in
the desert who's.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Oh it may have been a listener, not a friend.
I bet he would be hard pressed to name anybody
lives in the desert that he's friends with. And I'm
not saying as a as a I'm not condemning him
for it. I just don't think he moves out in
that area.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
What am I supposed to do? I use my AC
all the time. That's right now I'm getting punished. So indeed,
there are issues with all of this.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Do you pay your electric bill or is that John
that pays it?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
John does?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, kind of a kept woman, eh, very much. So
do you have any idea what you pay? Or you
just heard it? You sit on the couch while he
pays all the bills. Yes, you heard it went up.
That's the room around the house.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
Yeah, there was some murmuring about it going up.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I was I was too busy with the air.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Conditioning on watching TV that I didn't hear what he said. Circles,
you got the air blowing on you watching that energy
sucking TV that Mark Thompson gave you.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And John's in the back sweating his ass all paying
these bills.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Yes, And I think I was doing the dishes and
a little laundry too, al right, okay, and John's just
like god him, what's going on with this.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
At the same time, I do want to recommend if
you are having trouble paying your utility bills, contact the company.
These guys know that there's a lot of pain out there,
especially for lower income households.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Look, you can just you can negotiate that like your
cable bill. You can say, oh, I don't want to
pay that much.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
And they will work with you, not to wipe out
your bill, but to create a payment plan that is
more amenable and more tolerable for you. So do make
that effort, because if you just sit back and take
the pain, it's just going to get more painful.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, it's gonna get worse. That's horrible. I've noticed that
the electricity is actually absolutely gone through.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
There.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
It is Monday. The Democratic Invention. Joe Biden will be
speaking later tonight. I think he goes on at seven
fifteen our time. That's what I heard. So I don't know,
MOS going to dip in on it whatever, but it
should be interesting to listen to or watch. All Right,
there's a an at home test for syphilis. How about this?
Speaker 9 (25:07):
In the meantime, fifty giving the green lines to the
first at home syphilis test.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Wow, that's a big deal. Bellio must be so excited.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Well, actually I'm not Why what's going on? I had
that idea?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Oh no, that's right, Belly, Oh no, no, that's right.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yes, yes, yeah, me?
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Is this a joke?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
No, no, Bellio, I swear when when we first started working together.
Belly would always talk about the at home syphilis test.
There wasn't any at home syphilist test, and you were
raising money. You put a website together.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
I had, like my mom invested, like took money out
of her four O one cake.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, because she thought it was like a great I
remember that.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
And I had a couple of investors.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I remember that, Belly, you had people in here. Is
this Wow, you were like the Elizabeth what's her name
who I got thrown in jail. Yeah, you're the Elizabeth
Holmes of at homeless testing. But god, what a brag?
Speaker 10 (26:03):
Not anymore?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
That just totally bums me out.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And you had those shirts, well not shirts, but you
had an idea for shirts. No, I did get a shirt. Yeah,
I have a box of them in the garage, spend
less on syphi less. I remember that. And and you
were you were you were, like you know, you were
known as the syphilist queen here on the fourth floor.
Thank you, you know, yeah, thank you? And I hope
(26:28):
people knew it was the behind the scenes version, you know.
Oh oh I think they did. I think they did.
But did your mom? I know your mom tried to
invest in your at home syphilis test. Did she test
because she she loves you or she thinks you could
have passed it on to her? I don't.
Speaker 10 (26:43):
I didn't know, kind of personal Okay, I don't really
get into that point.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Okay, all right, but bellio I, that is true.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Though.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
When we first started working together, you said there are
no at home syphless tests, and and I didn't ask,
you know what your connect too it was, but but
you were a big proponent of that.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
No, honestly, I had you know, that's true. Vesters.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
You know, you had a whole I had, like you said,
the website of the whole market. And it's just I
took like a pause, right, and look what happens, and Belly,
you know what I feel. I feel terrible because you
could have been a millionaire.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I know, I'm so glad.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I know this really upsets me.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I could see this thing. I know. I know syphilis
was your thing. You always talked about that syphilis was
my thing, yes, And and you always had to explain
that to people, you know, because you would meet people, Hey,
siphil is my thing, and like what the hell.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Yeah, they're back on boogaloo.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
When they make explain. Yeah, I think you should sue
these people, because we talked about that on the air
when we we first.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Started working again, thinking I'm wondering, like, you know, who's
behind this and where they got the idea. I mean,
I do have some you got some paper trail, I do.
I mean, I don't know if you ever contacted the FDA.
I don't know if you got to that point or not.
But man, I was in the process, you know, I
had all this stuff going on, and I said, I
(28:12):
have to put this on the back burner for a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
And this all came around because you know that those
were when the first like rector what is that rectum cancer? Yeah,
when those had home tests were coming out, and you said,
there's no syphilis test at home. And you also said
that it's embarrassing to go to the doctor and announce
that you're there for the syphilist test and you want
to do it at home, in the privacy of your
(28:37):
own home.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
Remember when we when we talked about it, I said,
I don't know if we should talk about this on.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
The air, Yes, And we didn't. We didn't really, I mean,
we really.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
Kept it off the for the most yeah, we vaguely
mentioned I was working on something.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Right, and I mean we would refer to you as
the syphilist queen, but we were just kidding. Yeah, it
was like a ha ha ha ha. But yeah, and
I remember when this is great but when she Bellio.
It is a long story, but Bellio met John, her
current husband and her only husband. I think yes through
kl A C. You were on the show and they said, hey,
(29:12):
if you want to date Bellio, you know, call this number.
And they were down to like two candidates. Well it
wasn't just want. It wasn't that like raw. It wasn't
it was like it was a contest. When a date
with me, you just call up the date. I didn't
know all the details, clearly, Yeah, I guess the nuances
(29:33):
of that, you know, of throwing you out there was
a little more respectable.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
It was more respectable than your you don't want to
date be call this stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
That's something you'd see in a bathroom at Beroni's when
you're like in third grade. That's okay. But but I
remember John asking, you know, so, what's going on with
her and the syphilis queen? And we had to explain no, no, no,
She wanted to do the at home tests.
Speaker 10 (29:59):
Yeah, he was a little apprehensive, as as human you
should be.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, when I explained, no, this is an idea.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
I have an invention in h So yeah, they stole
your idea, bell clearly they did. Yeah, nobody was talking
about this five, six, seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Nobody, nobody, And now it's gonna be. It's come together.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Cases of the sexually transmitted infections are going up across
the US and new tests are showcasing this result.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It's called the first What a brag that the test
syphilis tests or syphilis sores are going up in America
when that should be on the welcome sign at LAX.
Welcome to Lax from at the International Terminal Capital of
all syphilis.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Are showcasing this result, it's called the first to know. Basically,
you just need a single drop of blood and then
results available in just fifteen minutes, but they have to
be confirmed by doctor Balio.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
This is your idea you were going to do with
the blood tests, very little blood, and you had worked
it out, you had a doctor on board. You were
the syphless Queen. Seriously, we got to stop talking about
it because I'm getting bron really kids.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
Okay, kids may roll out next month with cost starting
at thirty dollars, which is affordable. And that is a
big deal because the CDC says the number of reported
syphliss cases has gone up by eighty percent between twenty
eighteen and twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, everyone's staying home with COVID and they siphlessed it up.
All right, that's wild man belly. Oh, that's you know.
They should still hire you to do the commercials though,
you know, because you are the syphless Queen. Yeah, I
guess I could do that brag.
