Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
We've got our very best people on this audio situation.
But until that audio situation improves, it's not we don't
use a lot of audio. We use a little bit,
so we can't. I really want to play that baseball
audio today. We're going to get that, okay, because there's
(00:22):
something extraordinary happened in Major League Baseball. You don't have
to be a baseball fan to even appreciate what happened.
And we'll share it with you. And I have the
audio and we will play We can play it from
inside if we have to. Yes, Stiffoois can play it. Yeah,
you want to play that. We want to play that, now,
do you No? No, you want to Okay, you're the
(00:42):
you're the captain. I'm just you know, I work below deck, right, Okay.
There's something happening in many southern California neighborhoods, and these
are high end neighborhoods that you don't necessarily associate with
this problem.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And here's what the problem is.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It is burglaries and cops have issued warnings to residency
in West La, bell Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Westwood
to take extra caution because of a rise in residential burglaries.
I mean, as I say, these are high end neighborhoods,
you'd think, you know, very well patrolled by law enforcement,
(01:23):
and still they get that warning from law enforcement. Now
there's surveillance video from an attempted break in at a
bel Air home on Saturday. That's the most recent incident.
Three masked suspects seen on surveillance video, and apparently increasingly
(01:43):
these thieves are targeting upscale neighborhoods. Investigators say that as
many as six armed suspects were involved in this attempt
at burglary, and they had tools to break in, but
they were scared off by cops who responded overhead. I
(02:04):
told you about You know, my other half is obsessed
with the citizen app. You know what I'm talking about,
also the next stor app, anything that tells you bad
stuff's going on in your neighborhood. And to be fair,
we've had stuff happen and you know, our neighborhood burned
down because of fire. So I mean she has good
(02:27):
reason to be to be monitoring various you know, frequencies
with law enforcement and fire and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But she's really obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So we're sitting there one night and this relates to
what we just talked about, and we're watching a movie
and she says, there was a break in, an.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Armed break in.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Right down the street from us, And I said, there
wasn't an arm break in right down the street from
us that would have hit Citizen because Citizen responds to
nine to one one call. That's how it shows up
on the Citizen app. They monitor nine to one one.
She said, well, it says right here on the Citizen
App that there was an armed break in right down
(03:10):
the street, and it was.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
She was right.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The address was right down the street from us. And
I said, well, no offense. But if there was an
arm break in and somebody that nine one one, it's
on the Citizen app. We would hear something overhead, like helicopters,
because they would roll a helicopter right away. And no,
sooner do I get that out than of course you
hear the helicopters. And indeed, in this case with the
(03:38):
bel Air home that I was just talking about, the
suspects fled because of the helicopters. In Brentwood on Friday,
two male suspects breaking into the home on the three
hundred block of South Bundy around ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Not even the middle of the night. They did gain entry,
got away with items take from that home. Another Brentwood
home hit earlier this month as well on San Vicente Boulevard,
where the thieves broke in also and got away.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It's not on it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Clear whether people were home at the time of these
two incidents. I think that really actually is a huge
important distinction. But at another bell Air home, the burglars
or would be burglars were chased off shortly after they
got into the house. So in any case, the incidents
(04:33):
have prompted LAPD to issue these alerts warning residents about
organized crews. They think these are not just one offs, obviously,
they think usually two to four guys taking jewelry, handbags, cash,
And this is in Westwood Palisades, Brentwood, bel Air, West
(04:53):
La Santa Monica, all being affected. The getaway cars are
often rental Va with dealer plates or stolen plates. It
makes life a little bit tougher. Residents are offered this
suggestion from law enforcement surveillance cameras, glass doors, bolt down safes,
(05:15):
GPS tracker. They talk about joint you know programs in
your neighborhood, neighborhood watch programs, and you're supposed to share
information with neighbors, which is something that we've done in
our neighborhood as well. I'm sure on some level you've
done it too. I was mentioned to Phil Schuman, who
(05:36):
actually lives in my neighborhood, that we get on these
big zoom calls and you know, neighbors talk about what
they've seen. We are sending various pictures, stills from surveillance photos,
and so on some level it is a cooperative effort,
and it has to be otherwise they really do have
the upper hand. And in Encino problem an alarming series
(06:01):
of break ins and burglaries in the San Fernando Valley.
There was a crime prevention event held over the weekend
and security vendors offered an array of options for homeowners
and Sino Tarzana Woodland hills they've all seen a spike
in burglaries and breakings, according to LABDC. You add that
(06:22):
to West La bel Air, Brentwood, I mean, you know,
I feel like I'm I'm living in a crime movie.
A tobacco store, a shoe store, computer store, two pharmacies
in the valley, all burgled in just one day. Five
burglaries occurring overnight in the San Fernando Valley, leaving business
(06:44):
owners and residents concerned about safety. There was a burglary
Prevention and Deterrence company. I mean, that is just irony, right,
that whole deal to prevent burglary. Every manner of Surveill's
device is in this thing. They got ripped off, shattered
(07:04):
glass doors, and the boogers took everything. They say it
took about ten to fifteen minutes and they had everything. Anyway,
LAPED is increasing patrol, so for that, we are appreciative.
And aside from that, it sounds like we have to
do a lot of things on our own with neighbors
to try to stem the tide of what is an
organized crime ring.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Forty something having him baseball. It was pretty crazy. We'll
be playing that for you get the audio. You don't
have to be a baseball fan at all to appreciate
how wild this was. And we'll play that for you
in just a few minutes. For some reason, maybe it's
just that it's that time in our society's evolution. We
(07:52):
were talking a lot about various scams and ripoffs today.
We talked about the Redondo thing where they've literally put
additional QR codes on the parking meters down there. So
the idea was that people hit the QR code and
they're actually donating money to or you know, paying these scamsters.
Now they've corrected that they've taken those all down. What
(08:12):
we had that story earlier, we just talked about the
break ins. This is a wild scam also, and it's
it's sort of well, give a listen. This is a bakery,
and it's not just a bakery that was affected. In bakery,
a landscaping company, et cetera. The same basic dance though
(08:35):
as to how they were scammed, it's a.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Little like baker Lauria Stern has a unique specialty. She
incorporates edible flowers into her baked goods.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
These are pea sprouts and these are sun daisies.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Last week she got an unusual online order for about
one thousand cupcakes.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
We are not known for cupcakes. We're known for flower
cookies and special occasion cakes.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
The person sent a check for just over seventy five copy.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
By the way, they're getting a thousand an order for
a thousand of these things, so this is an immense order. Again,
you don't normally do it. So what follows is exactly
how they're scamming you.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Stern says.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
The person sent a check for just over seventy five
hundred dollars by priority mail. She stopped by her bank
for advice and says she was told that if the
funds went through, it was a good check, and they
did so. Stern bought all of these ingredients and started
making these cupcakes. But then the person who placed the
order said they wanted to cut it in half and
get half of the money back.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I responded and said, no, there's no way we can
do that. We've already bought all the ingredients, We've already
made the batter.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Stern says. She was again reassured by a bank representative.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
My bank said, you'll be protected here, especially if you
have an invoice, and you know all the emails going
back and forth.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
But the next day the funds were withdrawn from her account.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
And they said, oh, it's been cited as a counterfeit check. Essentially,
what the scammer did is they stole another company's checkbook.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Starn says she contacted the company listed on the check
and was told she was the fifteenth person that day
calling about the same scam.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, so everybody's clear on what the scam is. They
send you a check. First, they order a big thing.
You go, well, you know that's too big, in order
a thousand cupcakes. You don't make a thousand cupcakes without
advanced payment. They send you advanced payment in the form
of a check. The check is a scam check because
they've stolen that check from another company. You go to
your bank and you say, is this legitimate check? And
(10:35):
the bank says, yeah, it's legitimate check. You know, it's
not showing up as a scam check or as a
stolen check.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So they're great.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So they deposit, in this case, the seventy five hundred dollars.
Then the scamster's call and go, hey, you know what,
we don't need a thousand cupcakes, you just need five hundred,
So why don't you return half of that money? And
then the way the scam works is you return half
the money and of course the check is then identify
as scammy and you're out that money. Sounds as though
(11:05):
they while they deposited the money, they then took the
money out and she's stuck with a thousand cupcakes. I mean,
she's bought all this these ingredients to make this stuff,
and the person who's scamming her, or the people who
are scamming her, have no intention of getting it all.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Bakeries in landscaping companies.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Started the work, bought all the materials, and then asked
by this person to get a refund sent to them.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
She's been able to sell some of the cupcakes her
bakery made, but still has a lot of leftover ingredients
and says it was a hard hit financially and emotionally.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
It really made me, you know, feel disheartened about humanity.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
She hopes sharing her experience can help other small business owners.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I wanted other business owners and maybe just people in
general to be wary of games that could happen, because
they can be really disruptive.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, and that's a small business. I mean, running a
small business is already hard enough.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I don't She seemed to do the right things as
far as she contacted the bank multiple times. Yeah, and
both times the bank said she's fine. And if the
bank gives you the okay and then the check comes
back being a bad check, how is she on the
hook if the bank told her everything was great, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That was part of the story that I also had
an issue with. And why can't the bank share some
responsibility for this?
Speaker 7 (12:29):
I think they gave her the okay. That's exactly what
the bank is for. That's their job.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely right, absolutely right. It's it's odd. I mean,
she did the right thing. The bank checked it. I
mean apparently their network of checking or their system of
checking is not sufficient. But I sold furniture on eBay ones.
This is a different scam, but sort of this. It's
(12:54):
adjacent to this scam. I sold some living room furniture,
or tried to, and I had no experience with the
eBay at the time, and you know, it took some
fixture to put it up. And then I was contacted
and they said, you know, your furniture looks Now that
I look back on it, there's so many reasons I
should have picked up on this. Your furniture looks perfect
(13:15):
for our home, and I'm thinking it does you know,
it's kind of like some of it might, but I
don't think it all works all right, whatever, And they
said we want it, we're going to send you and
I was only asking for like I think it was
eleven hundred dollars something like that, but we're sending you
a check today and you can deposit it. And and
they send a check for three thousand dollars. Now, this
(13:36):
is this a pretty typical scam. They send a check
for more money than you asked for. You're all excited
because you've gotten more money, and then they've said, you know,
you've only asked for eleven hundred dollars, send us back
the balance. Okay, we only had two check for three
three thousand dollars. So I go to the bank and
the bank immediately identified it as an EBA scam. They said, no, no, no, no, no,
(13:57):
this is an old and tried and true scam. And
then when I looked at eBay everywhere Crozier, it says
don't take checks. Avoid checks at all costs. Avoid check scammers.
I mean, I was tripping over warnings on my way
to other warnings. It was crazy, and I just didn't
see them because I was a newcomer to eBay. So
(14:17):
this idea of being sent a check is really an
old school scam. It's too much. We've now pulled back
on our orders, send us back the balance. But as
you said, the difference here is that she did everything right,
checked with the bank, and still got hit.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's just not fair, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But that's the latest, and I'm glad she got her
story out because I think her story, us repeating her story,
television news covering her story, all will help others avoid
that same circumstance when.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
We come back.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I really want you to hear this moment in Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That was quite extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And again, you don't have to be a baseball fan
to appreciate how bizarre the whole thing was.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Got all the Conway crew here. We had a little
bit of a code read because the audio seemed to
go down for a time. So there's a lot of
scrambling said no audio, a lot of scrambling.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Someone hit the mute button, did they?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know what, Krosch, I'd love to tell you that
there was a complex series of switches and relays that
apparently were not in place. But Krozer is correct, is
it really the mute button was engaged?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And this is and I can.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You know that if it was my fault, i'd happily
tell you, But on this one, I had nothing to
do with it. So we really don't know whose fault
it was, which is which is really the best outcome
for everyone concerned.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Because I blame sales. Yeah, just to catch all So.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I want wanted to play you the audio from this
baseball game because the thing that happened today in Major
League Baseball was extraordinary. Danny Jansen is this player who
played for the Toronto Blue Jays and he was playing
(16:21):
in a game against the Boston Red Sox and there
was a rain delay. So he's in the batter's box
actually taking a pitch. I think he took a ball
or a strike. It was definitely a ball or a strike.
We know that, and he thank you look at the
(16:42):
tails or now that's not a key part of the story,
all right, one of the other. Yeah, But there was
a rain delay and he the game was resumed on
another day and the time that there was the game
(17:02):
which was rain delayed and the time that the game
was resumed, he was traded from the Blue Jays to
the Red Sox, so he's now catching for the team
he was playing against when the rain delay happened. This
is it, Sharon, You're great, Sharon, thank you. So this
(17:23):
is what it sounded like as the call went down,
and you.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Too, right, so much could have happened. Danny Jansen up
on the board. They're wearing a Toronto Blue Jays cap.
So we have to go back to that date in
June when it was nothing nothing where the second inning,
Toronto is a runner at first, George Springer had struck out,
David Schneider had taken ball four in the count on
Danny Jansen zero and one, so they have to put
(17:51):
that up on the board until things change and they
hit for him. As we go back to the second
inning of June twenty six, that strike number one, so
that's Jesse files it back and that's when the rains hit.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, it all happened. So they got the tarp out
and they cover the.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Field and so we pick it up as a suspended
game for game number one, and Danny Janson a month
later traded to the Boston Red Sox. And here he
is behind the plate in a Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Uniform, so he's catching and.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Ready to catch the rest of what was his h bat.
Now the fascinating thing here is had a countan owned,
conceivably he could have caught his own strikeout that would
have gone into the book as his cake.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh, that's wild. Or he could hit a home run
that is wild.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
So the pinch hitter inherits that oh in one count,
and they go from there. But it's never happened before
in Major League Baseball. It's a statistical oddity, and it
was really something wild. It's being talked about, of course
in Boston like crazy.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
The twenty six back at Fenway Park in Boston, the
Jays are playing the Sox. Danny Jansen was up at
bat for the Jays when there was a rain to
late the game.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So you know, you know that part of the story.
Let me skip ahead. I think they talked to Jansen.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Insane that Jansen was he's a catcher. He was dressed
as a Red Sox and he is he was in
the catcher's position for the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, we know that part too.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
How cool is it to be in the middle of
something that's never been done here We'll.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Go Yeah, yeah, definitely cool, you know, definitely grateful for
the opportunity to be in that position. One of those,
you know, crazy things about this game and definitely oddity,
but it's gonna be cool.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
How many, like, not a number, but have you just
been crushed with people reaching.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Out like has it been a thing last week or so?
Speaker 10 (19:48):
I think in the last week it's more than any
other time frame. Yeah, it's it's kind of like I
feel like it's getting a lot of theme of recent
not crazy amount, just people saying like how cool is that?
You know, and it's it's hasn't really hit me yet,
but you know, when it's off said down, it's gonna
be something cool to look back on for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Is that?
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Is it a certain amount of let's do this and
be able to move on and get back to playing
baseball and not being in the middle of something like that.
I mean maybe, yeah, I mean I'm definitely gonna enjoy it,
definitely gonna enjoy it. But then I'm sure after the
initial PA announcement or the first at bat and then
just get back down to baseball and it will be
like I.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Said, it'll be cool. It'll be definitely be cool. But yeah,
once once it's done, and you know it's gonna keep
playing it. Yeah, But I mean the truth is that
it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
In fact, his wife and kids, some friends were there
to see him. Because this is a baseball record. Again,
it's a really odd baseball record. Guys started on one team,
was in the batter's box, there's a rain delay, he's
traded in the interim, he goes to the other team.
They pick up after the rain delay a month later,
and now he's catching his own ad bat for the
(20:53):
other team. I mean, it's wild. So he did have,
as I say, a lot of family there and even
on the scoreboard, the shot of him wearing the Blue
Jays cap was wild. So there was a lot going
on there and it was an extraordinary moment. I'm glad
we had some audio with him because I mean, he
(21:14):
was really a piece of history earlier today. And as
I say, his whole family was there to take it in.
So that is. In a sport that keeps track of
statistics and has wild events of one sort or another,
this one had it all. It had this bizarre baseball
(21:35):
rule in which you could start the at bat be
traded and then catch your own at bat in a
way for the opposing team a month later. And it
would all made possible by New England weather. You know,
they have those storms roll through and then you just
have to suspend the game.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That's the audio of Danny James and I really wanted
to hear the play by play, guys, so that was
worth waiting for when we come back and in the
next hour Famous La Deli make clothes. They're worried about safety,
and it's not just a question of safety, it's a
question of public policy. We'll get into that as we continue.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Forty Conway's show. Mark Thompson sitting in.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
They brought me down some Stonefire grill food upstairs.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
It's delicious, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It really is good.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Hey, let's go to ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
There's a mini Mark barricade situation in Wilmington.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Oh no, okay, Chris, we'll go back again. And that
is well done, well, really good, great timing.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I was letting you finish about Stonefire.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well, thank you. We'll watch that. And when I say
we'll watch it.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
I'll watch it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You'll watch it.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Because there are one, two, three, four five six seven
monitors on in the studio, seven monitors, seven different feeds
of different things, and there is a lot of news
in those seven monitors. In fact, one two, three, four five,
(23:19):
six of the monitors are on New and actually the
seventh is on news. The weather channel is the seventh
and none of them are on ABE seven. So I
don't know how to change the channel. It's everything's so
sophisticated now, I mean, you got to be Stephen Hawking
to change the stinking channel in here.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Anyway, Thank you Stonefire Grill for the food now.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Krozier, Yeah, I didn't get any Stone fireman.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I'm sorry. I think it's still up there.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Well, there's a lot of people up there, so yeah,
somebody's got to be down here.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
We have a little kind of buffet swat team that
we send up. They kind of I don't know if
they cut line or how they do or you do. Well,
I'm I've become aware of it. I don't and I've
just have just become aware of it. Well you enjoy sir, well,
thank you, and I it prompts me to mention something
to you and to the audience, going to think, maybe
(24:10):
some people can relate to this I am dealing with.
I had a couple of dental procedures. I think I
might have mentioned this tim or meant to. And a
dental procedure they had put in stitches in your mouth
or whatever. The stitches went bad, they had to go
back in do it again. Anyway, I didn't think anything
of it about maybe one day later. I end up
(24:35):
with like this intense pain and I'm unable to open
my jaw. Now when I say unable to open, I
can open a little bit, but not enough to eat
and or to eat anything you have to. I could
just get a fork in my mouth, but not anything
on the fork. I mentioned this because this is insanely persistent,
(24:56):
this problem. I thought, well, it's going to go away.
It's a result of these dental surgeries. The procedures is
going to go away. It's TMJ. I go to the
internet and apparently it's not that. I don't know how
common it is, but it's oftentimes TMJ is related to
a dental procedure. I did not know this, and what's
happened in my case is it's not getting better. I'm
(25:19):
going to this guy who this is actually the second
go round with it. He was the same guy who
helped me the first time is now helping me the
second time.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
But the second time croche it's not improving. And he is.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Like, literally, when I go in for the procedure I
went today, he's doing laser and all of this other stuff,
and he's and he yanks open my mouth and it's
incredibly painful.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I don't know so when they bring but they brought
the stonefire grill in.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Thankfully, they brought me like some mashed potatoes, which is
like pretty much I swear it's crazy. I can't eat
it's utterly nuts. So this guy is i think part medical,
attacking this in a medical way and also in sort
of that voodoo way where he's saying, you know, you
need a cleanse, and you need and I'm so desperate. Great,
(26:13):
I'll do the cleanse, I'll do the you know, the
patches on the feet, I'll do everything to try to
get this better.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
But let's be clear about what this is. It's TMJ.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
That is the result of having your mouth open for
too long, for having your mouth up for an extended
period of time during this dental procedure.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It's for me utterly crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I've never had to sue to TMJ before, and I
know people who get headaches from it, and it can
really be a seriously paralyzing condition.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That's not me.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I don't know how this got to be a thing,
but it's a way big thing with me.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
So is it constant pain or is only like when
you open your jaw really wide.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
It's open only when I opened my jaw up, it's
not really wide, just a little bit like if I
were to try to eat a bagel. Let's say I
never do that. I can't get my mouth open wide enough.
And when i'm when I wake up in the morning
and speak, then there's some pain, but then it gets
it gets better. It gets better after like an hour
or so, and then it's only when I open I know.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I can't get the toothbrush into my mouth to brush
the teeth without like turning its sideways, and then I
open it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Dude, it's incredible to me.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I just don't I've never had an experience like this
with this condition.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
So they're saying this stuff you can do, it may
go away. It may not go away.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Well, he says, so he says, it's gonna go away,
we'll get it. Well, it can. But meanwhile, I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's been how long now, now it's been two weeks,
and it's like no better, it's no better.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
It's maybe I'm gonna say it's five percent better.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, it's really like such a small increment of better
that I really don't even notice it. And the other
thing is because I have to eat in this weird
way now because I can't really open my mouth. I
don't want to go out to eat with anybody or
to you know, be in.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Social schlations where conscious about it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, it's really awkward, you know.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I don't even know how to begin with that. Like, look,
I get going to the dentist and sometimes they just
feel like they're really in there for a long time
and you got to hold that thing open. And I
definitely feel it a time at the end of it
when they pull out and I'm like barely closing my mouth. Whooh,
that's a nice pain. But it never lingers, sure exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, I'm just never Honestly, I've never associated it with
maybe I should have, but with some kind of lingering injury.
But you know it's an injury that dentists are aware
of this, you know, and I suspect if you mentioned
it to your dentist, they can do things, you know,
to make sure that you maybe are less susceptible.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
In our news editor eron, she's back there. She had
dental surgery just last week as well, and she's dealing
with it today.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Is too no good?
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Yeah, she got the jow. She I came in today
and she had a popsicle against her lower jaw and
she ended up having to go quick there to make
sure everything to the dentist today, just to make sure
everything was ok. That's why basically the same thing.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's really eerie, that's it's a and there are so
few options now. The one thing I've found is on YouTube.
I've found a jillion videos of doctors telling you exactly
what moves to make you know, like massaging inside your
mouth the muscle that's associated with TMJ. It's fascinating, and
(29:24):
I have to say some of those YouTube videos are helpful.
I mean I've actually gotten some super temporary relief, but
some relief and some movement just from doing that which
I've seen on YouTube.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
About like warm pads, like heating pads on your neck
or your.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, that's why it's funny.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
That was mentioned to me at the doctor's office too,
So I may I may start those as well.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I'm used to ice, you know, when you get pain,
you ice.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Is it like, is it a ligamant muscle? What's the
fighting main problem?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I think it's a I think it's a muscle. I
believe it's a uscle thing. At least the the and
the YouTube videos I've seen have, you know, involved kind
of touching and pressing on to relieve pressure on that muscle,
trying to get some muscle movement in. It's inflammation, like
everything in the body's inflammation, you know. But it's uh,
it's crazy. So again, dental patience, beware. It's a real thing.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
I have an apartment next week. Thanks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
May the force be with you.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, langers may close, that's what they're saying. I'll update
that situation for you next. And also Governor Newsom on homelessness,
the experts way in and push back.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
We'll get to that as well. It's the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim on KF I Am
six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
We've got our very best people on this audio situation.
But until that audio situation improves, it's not we don't
use a lot of audio. We use a little bit,
so we can't. I really want to play that baseball
audio today. We're going to get that, okay, because there's
(00:22):
something extraordinary happened in Major League Baseball. You don't have
to be a baseball fan to even appreciate what happened.
And we'll share it with you. And I have the
audio and we will play We can play it from
inside if we have to. Yes, Stiffoois can play it. Yeah,
you want to play that. We want to play that, now,
do you No? No, you want to Okay, you're the
(00:42):
you're the captain. I'm just you know, I work below deck, right, Okay.
There's something happening in many southern California neighborhoods, and these
are high end neighborhoods that you don't necessarily associate with
this problem.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And here's what the problem is.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It is burglaries and cops have issued warnings to residency
in West La, bell Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Westwood
to take extra caution because of a rise in residential burglaries.
I mean, as I say, these are high end neighborhoods,
you'd think, you know, very well patrolled by law enforcement,
(01:23):
and still they get that warning from law enforcement. Now
there's surveillance video from an attempted break in at a
bel Air home on Saturday. That's the most recent incident.
Three masked suspects seen on surveillance video, and apparently increasingly
(01:43):
these thieves are targeting upscale neighborhoods. Investigators say that as
many as six armed suspects were involved in this attempt
at burglary, and they had tools to break in, but
they were scared off by cops who responded overhead. I
(02:04):
told you about You know, my other half is obsessed
with the citizen app. You know what I'm talking about,
also the next stor app, anything that tells you bad
stuff's going on in your neighborhood. And to be fair,
we've had stuff happen and you know, our neighborhood burned
down because of fire. So I mean she has good
(02:27):
reason to be to be monitoring various you know, frequencies
with law enforcement and fire and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But she's really obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So we're sitting there one night and this relates to
what we just talked about, and we're watching a movie
and she says, there was a break in, an.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Armed break in.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Right down the street from us, And I said, there
wasn't an arm break in right down the street from
us that would have hit Citizen because Citizen responds to
nine to one one call. That's how it shows up
on the Citizen app. They monitor nine to one one.
She said, well, it says right here on the Citizen
App that there was an armed break in right down
(03:10):
the street, and it was.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
She was right.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The address was right down the street from us. And
I said, well, no offense. But if there was an
arm break in and somebody that nine one one, it's
on the Citizen app. We would hear something overhead, like helicopters,
because they would roll a helicopter right away. And no,
sooner do I get that out than of course you
hear the helicopters. And indeed, in this case with the
(03:38):
bel Air home that I was just talking about, the
suspects fled because of the helicopters. In Brentwood on Friday,
two male suspects breaking into the home on the three
hundred block of South Bundy around ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Not even the middle of the night. They did gain entry,
got away with items take from that home. Another Brentwood
home hit earlier this month as well on San Vicente Boulevard,
where the thieves broke in also and got away.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It's not on it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Clear whether people were home at the time of these
two incidents. I think that really actually is a huge
important distinction. But at another bell Air home, the burglars
or would be burglars were chased off shortly after they
got into the house. So in any case, the incidents
(04:33):
have prompted LAPD to issue these alerts warning residents about
organized crews. They think these are not just one offs, obviously,
they think usually two to four guys taking jewelry, handbags, cash,
And this is in Westwood Palisades, Brentwood, bel Air, West
(04:53):
La Santa Monica, all being affected. The getaway cars are
often rental Va with dealer plates or stolen plates. It
makes life a little bit tougher. Residents are offered this
suggestion from law enforcement surveillance cameras, glass doors, bolt down safes,
(05:15):
GPS tracker. They talk about joint you know programs in
your neighborhood, neighborhood watch programs, and you're supposed to share
information with neighbors, which is something that we've done in
our neighborhood as well. I'm sure on some level you've
done it too. I was mentioned to Phil Schuman, who
(05:36):
actually lives in my neighborhood, that we get on these
big zoom calls and you know, neighbors talk about what
they've seen. We are sending various pictures, stills from surveillance photos,
and so on some level it is a cooperative effort,
and it has to be otherwise they really do have
the upper hand. And in Encino problem an alarming series
(06:01):
of break ins and burglaries in the San Fernando Valley.
There was a crime prevention event held over the weekend
and security vendors offered an array of options for homeowners
and Sino Tarzana Woodland hills they've all seen a spike
in burglaries and breakings, according to LABDC. You add that
(06:22):
to West La bel Air, Brentwood, I mean, you know,
I feel like I'm I'm living in a crime movie.
A tobacco store, a shoe store, computer store, two pharmacies
in the valley, all burgled in just one day. Five
burglaries occurring overnight in the San Fernando Valley, leaving business
(06:44):
owners and residents concerned about safety. There was a burglary
Prevention and Deterrence company. I mean, that is just irony, right,
that whole deal to prevent burglary. Every manner of Surveill's
device is in this thing. They got ripped off, shattered
(07:04):
glass doors, and the boogers took everything. They say it
took about ten to fifteen minutes and they had everything. Anyway,
LAPED is increasing patrol, so for that, we are appreciative.
And aside from that, it sounds like we have to
do a lot of things on our own with neighbors
to try to stem the tide of what is an
organized crime ring.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Forty something having him baseball. It was pretty crazy. We'll
be playing that for you get the audio. You don't
have to be a baseball fan at all to appreciate
how wild this was. And we'll play that for you
in just a few minutes. For some reason, maybe it's
just that it's that time in our society's evolution. We
(07:52):
were talking a lot about various scams and ripoffs today.
We talked about the Redondo thing where they've literally put
additional QR codes on the parking meters down there. So
the idea was that people hit the QR code and
they're actually donating money to or you know, paying these scamsters.
Now they've corrected that they've taken those all down. What
(08:12):
we had that story earlier, we just talked about the
break ins. This is a wild scam also, and it's
it's sort of well, give a listen. This is a bakery,
and it's not just a bakery that was affected. In bakery,
a landscaping company, et cetera. The same basic dance though
(08:35):
as to how they were scammed, it's a.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Little like baker Lauria Stern has a unique specialty. She
incorporates edible flowers into her baked goods.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
These are pea sprouts and these are sun daisies.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Last week she got an unusual online order for about
one thousand cupcakes.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
We are not known for cupcakes. We're known for flower
cookies and special occasion cakes.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
The person sent a check for just over seventy five copy.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
By the way, they're getting a thousand an order for
a thousand of these things, so this is an immense order. Again,
you don't normally do it. So what follows is exactly
how they're scamming you.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Stern says.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
The person sent a check for just over seventy five
hundred dollars by priority mail. She stopped by her bank
for advice and says she was told that if the
funds went through, it was a good check, and they
did so. Stern bought all of these ingredients and started
making these cupcakes. But then the person who placed the
order said they wanted to cut it in half and
get half of the money back.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I responded and said, no, there's no way we can
do that. We've already bought all the ingredients, We've already
made the batter.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Stern says. She was again reassured by a bank representative.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
My bank said, you'll be protected here, especially if you
have an invoice, and you know all the emails going
back and forth.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
But the next day the funds were withdrawn from her account.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
And they said, oh, it's been cited as a counterfeit check. Essentially,
what the scammer did is they stole another company's checkbook.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Starn says she contacted the company listed on the check
and was told she was the fifteenth person that day
calling about the same scam.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, so everybody's clear on what the scam is. They
send you a check. First, they order a big thing.
You go, well, you know that's too big, in order
a thousand cupcakes. You don't make a thousand cupcakes without
advanced payment. They send you advanced payment in the form
of a check. The check is a scam check because
they've stolen that check from another company. You go to
your bank and you say, is this legitimate check? And
(10:35):
the bank says, yeah, it's legitimate check. You know, it's
not showing up as a scam check or as a
stolen check.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So they're great.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So they deposit, in this case, the seventy five hundred dollars.
Then the scamster's call and go, hey, you know what,
we don't need a thousand cupcakes, you just need five hundred,
So why don't you return half of that money? And
then the way the scam works is you return half
the money and of course the check is then identify
as scammy and you're out that money. Sounds as though
(11:05):
they while they deposited the money, they then took the
money out and she's stuck with a thousand cupcakes. I mean,
she's bought all this these ingredients to make this stuff,
and the person who's scamming her, or the people who
are scamming her, have no intention of getting it all.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Bakeries in landscaping companies.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Started the work, bought all the materials, and then asked
by this person to get a refund sent to them.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
She's been able to sell some of the cupcakes her
bakery made, but still has a lot of leftover ingredients
and says it was a hard hit financially and emotionally.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
It really made me, you know, feel disheartened about humanity.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
She hopes sharing her experience can help other small business owners.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I wanted other business owners and maybe just people in
general to be wary of games that could happen, because
they can be really disruptive.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, and that's a small business. I mean, running a
small business is already hard enough.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I don't She seemed to do the right things as
far as she contacted the bank multiple times. Yeah, and
both times the bank said she's fine. And if the
bank gives you the okay and then the check comes
back being a bad check, how is she on the
hook if the bank told her everything was great, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That was part of the story that I also had
an issue with. And why can't the bank share some
responsibility for this?
Speaker 7 (12:29):
I think they gave her the okay. That's exactly what
the bank is for. That's their job.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely right, absolutely right. It's it's odd. I mean,
she did the right thing. The bank checked it. I
mean apparently their network of checking or their system of
checking is not sufficient. But I sold furniture on eBay ones.
This is a different scam, but sort of this. It's
(12:54):
adjacent to this scam. I sold some living room furniture,
or tried to, and I had no experience with the
eBay at the time, and you know, it took some
fixture to put it up. And then I was contacted
and they said, you know, your furniture looks Now that
I look back on it, there's so many reasons I
should have picked up on this. Your furniture looks perfect
(13:15):
for our home, and I'm thinking it does you know,
it's kind of like some of it might, but I
don't think it all works all right, whatever, And they
said we want it, we're going to send you and
I was only asking for like I think it was
eleven hundred dollars something like that, but we're sending you
a check today and you can deposit it. And and
they send a check for three thousand dollars. Now, this
(13:36):
is this a pretty typical scam. They send a check
for more money than you asked for. You're all excited
because you've gotten more money, and then they've said, you know,
you've only asked for eleven hundred dollars, send us back
the balance. Okay, we only had two check for three
three thousand dollars. So I go to the bank and
the bank immediately identified it as an EBA scam. They said, no, no, no, no, no,
(13:57):
this is an old and tried and true scam. And
then when I looked at eBay everywhere Crozier, it says
don't take checks. Avoid checks at all costs. Avoid check scammers.
I mean, I was tripping over warnings on my way
to other warnings. It was crazy, and I just didn't
see them because I was a newcomer to eBay. So
(14:17):
this idea of being sent a check is really an
old school scam. It's too much. We've now pulled back
on our orders, send us back the balance. But as
you said, the difference here is that she did everything right,
checked with the bank, and still got hit.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's just not fair, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But that's the latest, and I'm glad she got her
story out because I think her story, us repeating her story,
television news covering her story, all will help others avoid
that same circumstance when.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
We come back.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I really want you to hear this moment in Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That was quite extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And again, you don't have to be a baseball fan
to appreciate how bizarre the whole thing was.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Got all the Conway crew here. We had a little
bit of a code read because the audio seemed to
go down for a time. So there's a lot of
scrambling said no audio, a lot of scrambling.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Someone hit the mute button, did they?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know what, Krosch, I'd love to tell you that
there was a complex series of switches and relays that
apparently were not in place. But Krozer is correct, is
it really the mute button was engaged?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And this is and I can.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You know that if it was my fault, i'd happily
tell you, But on this one, I had nothing to
do with it. So we really don't know whose fault
it was, which is which is really the best outcome
for everyone concerned.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Because I blame sales. Yeah, just to catch all So.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I want wanted to play you the audio from this
baseball game because the thing that happened today in Major
League Baseball was extraordinary. Danny Jansen is this player who
played for the Toronto Blue Jays and he was playing
(16:21):
in a game against the Boston Red Sox and there
was a rain delay. So he's in the batter's box
actually taking a pitch. I think he took a ball
or a strike. It was definitely a ball or a strike.
We know that, and he thank you look at the
(16:42):
tails or now that's not a key part of the story,
all right, one of the other. Yeah, But there was
a rain delay and he the game was resumed on
another day and the time that there was the game
(17:02):
which was rain delayed and the time that the game
was resumed, he was traded from the Blue Jays to
the Red Sox, so he's now catching for the team
he was playing against when the rain delay happened. This
is it, Sharon, You're great, Sharon, thank you. So this
(17:23):
is what it sounded like as the call went down,
and you.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Too, right, so much could have happened. Danny Jansen up
on the board. They're wearing a Toronto Blue Jays cap.
So we have to go back to that date in
June when it was nothing nothing where the second inning,
Toronto is a runner at first, George Springer had struck out,
David Schneider had taken ball four in the count on
Danny Jansen zero and one, so they have to put
(17:51):
that up on the board until things change and they
hit for him. As we go back to the second
inning of June twenty six, that strike number one, so
that's Jesse files it back and that's when the rains hit.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, it all happened. So they got the tarp out
and they cover the.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Field and so we pick it up as a suspended
game for game number one, and Danny Janson a month
later traded to the Boston Red Sox. And here he
is behind the plate in a Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Uniform, so he's catching and.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Ready to catch the rest of what was his h bat.
Now the fascinating thing here is had a countan owned,
conceivably he could have caught his own strikeout that would
have gone into the book as his cake.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh, that's wild. Or he could hit a home run
that is wild.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
So the pinch hitter inherits that oh in one count,
and they go from there. But it's never happened before
in Major League Baseball. It's a statistical oddity, and it
was really something wild. It's being talked about, of course
in Boston like crazy.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
The twenty six back at Fenway Park in Boston, the
Jays are playing the Sox. Danny Jansen was up at
bat for the Jays when there was a rain to
late the game.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So you know, you know that part of the story.
Let me skip ahead. I think they talked to Jansen.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Insane that Jansen was he's a catcher. He was dressed
as a Red Sox and he is he was in
the catcher's position for the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, we know that part too.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
How cool is it to be in the middle of
something that's never been done here We'll.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Go Yeah, yeah, definitely cool, you know, definitely grateful for
the opportunity to be in that position. One of those,
you know, crazy things about this game and definitely oddity,
but it's gonna be cool.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
How many, like, not a number, but have you just
been crushed with people reaching.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Out like has it been a thing last week or so?
Speaker 10 (19:48):
I think in the last week it's more than any
other time frame. Yeah, it's it's kind of like I
feel like it's getting a lot of theme of recent
not crazy amount, just people saying like how cool is that?
You know, and it's it's hasn't really hit me yet,
but you know, when it's off said down, it's gonna
be something cool to look back on for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Is that?
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Is it a certain amount of let's do this and
be able to move on and get back to playing
baseball and not being in the middle of something like that.
I mean maybe, yeah, I mean I'm definitely gonna enjoy it,
definitely gonna enjoy it. But then I'm sure after the
initial PA announcement or the first at bat and then
just get back down to baseball and it will be
like I.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Said, it'll be cool. It'll be definitely be cool. But yeah,
once once it's done, and you know it's gonna keep
playing it. Yeah, But I mean the truth is that
it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
In fact, his wife and kids, some friends were there
to see him. Because this is a baseball record. Again,
it's a really odd baseball record. Guys started on one team,
was in the batter's box, there's a rain delay, he's
traded in the interim, he goes to the other team.
They pick up after the rain delay a month later,
and now he's catching his own ad bat for the
(20:53):
other team. I mean, it's wild. So he did have,
as I say, a lot of family there and even
on the scoreboard, the shot of him wearing the Blue
Jays cap was wild. So there was a lot going
on there and it was an extraordinary moment. I'm glad
we had some audio with him because I mean, he
(21:14):
was really a piece of history earlier today. And as
I say, his whole family was there to take it in.
So that is. In a sport that keeps track of
statistics and has wild events of one sort or another,
this one had it all. It had this bizarre baseball
(21:35):
rule in which you could start the at bat be
traded and then catch your own at bat in a
way for the opposing team a month later. And it
would all made possible by New England weather. You know,
they have those storms roll through and then you just
have to suspend the game.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That's the audio of Danny James and I really wanted
to hear the play by play, guys, so that was
worth waiting for when we come back and in the
next hour Famous La Deli make clothes. They're worried about safety,
and it's not just a question of safety, it's a
question of public policy. We'll get into that as we continue.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Forty Conway's show. Mark Thompson sitting in.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
They brought me down some Stonefire grill food upstairs.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
It's delicious, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It really is good.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Hey, let's go to ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
There's a mini Mark barricade situation in Wilmington.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Oh no, okay, Chris, we'll go back again. And that
is well done, well, really good, great timing.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I was letting you finish about Stonefire.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well, thank you. We'll watch that. And when I say
we'll watch it.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
I'll watch it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You'll watch it.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Because there are one, two, three, four five six seven
monitors on in the studio, seven monitors, seven different feeds
of different things, and there is a lot of news
in those seven monitors. In fact, one two, three, four five,
(23:19):
six of the monitors are on New and actually the
seventh is on news. The weather channel is the seventh
and none of them are on ABE seven. So I
don't know how to change the channel. It's everything's so
sophisticated now, I mean, you got to be Stephen Hawking
to change the stinking channel in here.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Anyway, Thank you Stonefire Grill for the food now.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Krozier, Yeah, I didn't get any Stone fireman.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I'm sorry. I think it's still up there.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Well, there's a lot of people up there, so yeah,
somebody's got to be down here.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
We have a little kind of buffet swat team that
we send up. They kind of I don't know if
they cut line or how they do or you do. Well,
I'm I've become aware of it. I don't and I've
just have just become aware of it. Well you enjoy sir, well,
thank you, and I it prompts me to mention something
to you and to the audience, going to think, maybe
(24:10):
some people can relate to this I am dealing with.
I had a couple of dental procedures. I think I
might have mentioned this tim or meant to. And a
dental procedure they had put in stitches in your mouth
or whatever. The stitches went bad, they had to go
back in do it again. Anyway, I didn't think anything
of it about maybe one day later. I end up
(24:35):
with like this intense pain and I'm unable to open
my jaw. Now when I say unable to open, I
can open a little bit, but not enough to eat
and or to eat anything you have to. I could
just get a fork in my mouth, but not anything
on the fork. I mentioned this because this is insanely persistent,
(24:56):
this problem. I thought, well, it's going to go away.
It's a result of these dental surgeries. The procedures is
going to go away. It's TMJ. I go to the
internet and apparently it's not that. I don't know how
common it is, but it's oftentimes TMJ is related to
a dental procedure. I did not know this, and what's
happened in my case is it's not getting better. I'm
(25:19):
going to this guy who this is actually the second
go round with it. He was the same guy who
helped me the first time is now helping me the
second time.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
But the second time croche it's not improving. And he is.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Like, literally, when I go in for the procedure I
went today, he's doing laser and all of this other stuff,
and he's and he yanks open my mouth and it's
incredibly painful.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I don't know so when they bring but they brought
the stonefire grill in.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Thankfully, they brought me like some mashed potatoes, which is
like pretty much I swear it's crazy. I can't eat
it's utterly nuts. So this guy is i think part medical,
attacking this in a medical way and also in sort
of that voodoo way where he's saying, you know, you
need a cleanse, and you need and I'm so desperate. Great,
(26:13):
I'll do the cleanse, I'll do the you know, the
patches on the feet, I'll do everything to try to
get this better.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
But let's be clear about what this is. It's TMJ.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
That is the result of having your mouth open for
too long, for having your mouth up for an extended
period of time during this dental procedure.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It's for me utterly crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I've never had to sue to TMJ before, and I
know people who get headaches from it, and it can
really be a seriously paralyzing condition.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That's not me.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I don't know how this got to be a thing,
but it's a way big thing with me.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
So is it constant pain or is only like when
you open your jaw really wide.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
It's open only when I opened my jaw up, it's
not really wide, just a little bit like if I
were to try to eat a bagel. Let's say I
never do that. I can't get my mouth open wide enough.
And when i'm when I wake up in the morning
and speak, then there's some pain, but then it gets
it gets better. It gets better after like an hour
or so, and then it's only when I open I know.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I can't get the toothbrush into my mouth to brush
the teeth without like turning its sideways, and then I
open it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Dude, it's incredible to me.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I just don't I've never had an experience like this
with this condition.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
So they're saying this stuff you can do, it may
go away. It may not go away.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Well, he says, so he says, it's gonna go away,
we'll get it. Well, it can. But meanwhile, I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's been how long now, now it's been two weeks,
and it's like no better, it's no better.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
It's maybe I'm gonna say it's five percent better.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, it's really like such a small increment of better
that I really don't even notice it. And the other
thing is because I have to eat in this weird
way now because I can't really open my mouth. I
don't want to go out to eat with anybody or
to you know, be in.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Social schlations where conscious about it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, it's really awkward, you know.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I don't even know how to begin with that. Like, look,
I get going to the dentist and sometimes they just
feel like they're really in there for a long time
and you got to hold that thing open. And I
definitely feel it a time at the end of it
when they pull out and I'm like barely closing my mouth. Whooh,
that's a nice pain. But it never lingers, sure exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, I'm just never Honestly, I've never associated it with
maybe I should have, but with some kind of lingering injury.
But you know it's an injury that dentists are aware
of this, you know, and I suspect if you mentioned
it to your dentist, they can do things, you know,
to make sure that you maybe are less susceptible.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
In our news editor eron, she's back there. She had
dental surgery just last week as well, and she's dealing
with it today.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Is too no good?
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Yeah, she got the jow. She I came in today
and she had a popsicle against her lower jaw and
she ended up having to go quick there to make
sure everything to the dentist today, just to make sure
everything was ok. That's why basically the same thing.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's really eerie, that's it's a and there are so
few options now. The one thing I've found is on YouTube.
I've found a jillion videos of doctors telling you exactly
what moves to make you know, like massaging inside your
mouth the muscle that's associated with TMJ. It's fascinating, and
(29:24):
I have to say some of those YouTube videos are helpful.
I mean I've actually gotten some super temporary relief, but
some relief and some movement just from doing that which
I've seen on YouTube.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
About like warm pads, like heating pads on your neck
or your.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, that's why it's funny.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
That was mentioned to me at the doctor's office too,
So I may I may start those as well.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I'm used to ice, you know, when you get pain,
you ice.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Is it like, is it a ligamant muscle? What's the
fighting main problem?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I think it's a I think it's a muscle. I
believe it's a uscle thing. At least the the and
the YouTube videos I've seen have, you know, involved kind
of touching and pressing on to relieve pressure on that muscle,
trying to get some muscle movement in. It's inflammation, like
everything in the body's inflammation, you know. But it's uh,
it's crazy. So again, dental patience, beware. It's a real thing.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
I have an apartment next week. Thanks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
May the force be with you.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, langers may close, that's what they're saying. I'll update
that situation for you next. And also Governor Newsom on homelessness,
the experts way in and push back.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
We'll get to that as well. It's the Conway Show.
