Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Chris Little, who runs the CAFI News department. He does
have a personal life and when he takes time out
of his duties running this award winning department here KFI,
he likes his concerts. He went to SOFI. What did
you see down there?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We saw, Well, we missed Steve Miller and Journey and
def Leppard.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh wow, the real throwback show. But you missed the openers.
Then you're saying, well, we miss Steve Miller most of it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We saw we heard the last song, but they're all
rock and Roll Hall of famers. By the last song,
I don't remember because we were still outside, But you
know what we saw?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Question though, what was the last We saw Steve.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Miller at Yamava on a small venue and that was awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I mean, he's really talented.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's really weird that it's taken so long to get
in the rock and roll Hall of Time, although I
don't know how that works.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Maybe and he has a big shout out to Les Paul,
who is, of course the guy who made the Less
Paul guitars. Les Paul gave Steve Miller a guitar and
he talks about it every time.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, that's cool. Well obviously it meant a lot to him.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So you did then, but you saw def Leppard and
you saw a Journey.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh yeah, okay, and.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now tell me about the Sofi experience as a concert goer,
because I guess that's the thing that was really interesting
to you.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah. Well, look polite when I say interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, well, first of all, let me tell you. The
first thing we did was we parked a mile away
for thirty four dollars. We got in and out with
zero problem. My wife has been to Sofi several times
and she says it takes her an hour or more
sometimes to get out of there.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So she'd identified a place that you could park that
you wouldn't have to deal with the parking issue.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I didn't have to mess with it. So we
get there and.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
By the way, you hit the jackpot with your wife choice.
She is one of oh, thank you, absolutely greatest people.
Start to finish checks every box. She's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah. Well she puts up with a lot. Yeah. Anyway,
so you so you parked there and then you got
you walked and yeah, we walked.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It was it was kind of a you know, a
bit of a walk, and then we had floor seats, right, yeah,
that's what everybody says. And then until you realize to
get to the floor you have to go one hundred
feet down. Uh, so we had to. It's so so far.
The stadium is built one hundred feet below ground, so
you have a And the reason they did that was
(02:29):
just because of you know, flight patterns at LAX and
they didn't want the building to mess with the radar.
That was a big study to put it off for
a while. But anyway, to get down to one hundred
feet you got to walk down seven ramps, down seven rams.
And I got halfway down there and I said to Julie,
I am never doing this again.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm because we already walked a mile. What's your maximum ramp?
Would you go?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Three?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Four ramps? Maybe three? Three? Maybe maybe three at the max?
Now there are no stairs, like straight stairs down. No. No,
they they say elevator. There is an elevator. And I
heard one of the guys on the way out. He goes, yeah,
you can wait for the elevator if you want to
wait for two hours. Yeah, I'm sure, because you know
they have all.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
These levels an escalator, no escalator, man, just a big
long rams.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So when you get down there, after all that long walk,
you're then on the floor.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
You're on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
But oddly enough, I whipped out my altimeter because I
wanted to see what direction we were facing and everything.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know, the compass and altimeter.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We're still forty seven feet above sea level after you go,
and they took after you go one hundred feet down,
they took seven million cubic yards of dirt.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Out of that thing. That's wild.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's a thousand Olympic sized swimming pools, that is wild,
or two million, eight hundred thousand standard pickup trucks. More
if you're talking about a Ford F one fifty, because
their bed is only like six feet instead of eight feet.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Oh, I see, it's actually the smaller. Yeah, yeah, so
it would take more than a two millionator. Desert facts
that are no interest to anyone.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
No, but there's no air conditioning. This will be interesting
to you. There's no air conditioning in most of the place.
There might be in some of the offices and stuff,
but no air conditioning. And we felt a cool breeze
all the time, and it was that ocean breeze coming
in and it would hit you and you I was thinking,
where are the air conditioning vents? And so, you know,
I looked it up and found that, you know, it's
(04:34):
got three hundred and two panels and you know, a
bun to allow the ocean bridge had forty six windows open.
But there is not air conditioning. There is there is
no air conditioning. But if you get on Reddit, those
guys will say stuff like, well, so far is tropical
and hot. Don't take a jacket. It was hotter than hell.
(04:54):
Take a lot of water, and you know, you just
you gotta be careful.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
When I went to uh so if I uh was
it last year to see Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks.
We were up higher up and it was freezing because
of that ocean breeze.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, even even Billy.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Joel said something.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
He was wrapping it.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
He was wrapping a scarf around his neck to keep
his throat warm so he could still sing. And he
mentioned multiple times like damn.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's cold in here.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, there's no there's no controlling it. So I'm assuming
there's no heat either. Because Billy Joel's got a good seat,
you know for that show. Yeah, well that's and and Crozier.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Did you you so you were your twice when Billy Joel,
what was you want to know?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I went to it.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
It's the first game, the Chargers game a couple of
years ago, and that was just I'll give him a
little bit of a pass because it was the first
game and they're still working out the kinks. But it
took it took to two to three hours to get
out of there to get home after the game.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Of it's still a mess man.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
And the second time when I went to Billy Joel,
we like, like you said, Chris, we found a space,
you know, a little further off of the off of
the site. We parked at the parking structure where the
casine is. Yeah, and we walked over. But then the
problem with that is is that we got all the
way back to our car and they will not let
you leave the parking structure until all the parking at
(06:12):
the stadium has left. That I'll have to so we
had to wait another hour and a half to two
hours to leave the parking structure.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'll have to give you the hot Yeah, yeah, no,
it was just down we were mile There's a a
cemetery down there, and we parked in front of the
cemetery in like a little medical office and and by
the time we got there, there were no cars there.
And I said to Julie, where is everybody?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
She goes?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
They did not have to walk seven ramps up from
the floor. You guys did lie like a lot of steps.
Yeah that night. Yeah, they're gone, I mean they were gone. Uh,
it was overall, it was you know, it was good.
But like I said, I don't think I want to
I mean I didn't say it, but I'm saying it now.
I don't think I want to go there in the summer.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
And you know, my daughter was there on Sunday because
she works at so Far doing events and stuff. And
she said, and you can verify this, she said, it
was actually pretty empty in the stadium.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Well, you mean for the for the for your concert. No,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
On Instagram, I put a video up and you can
see it was actually full. Really yeah, I mean, I
mean very I mean it was impressive because she does
she does a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
And she was saying, maybe it's based on how they
arrange the seats because she says it was about two
thirds full from what she's seen it in the past.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Room. Well, okay, two thirds might be might be good.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But again, remember these guys don't really play huge venues
one it, you know, by themselves.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I thought it was fun.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Wow, they really pulled that many people to feel so fine.
She was surprised by how many songs she knew. Oh wow, that's,
of course from Journey or Deaf Leopard. I think mostly
journey Man.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Deaf Leopard rocked that that that place was.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
They're fantastic and that was really the act that you
were there to see.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well Journey, Yeah, but then after a while I got
tired of the solos and uh, you know, guitar solo,
drum solo.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know, Chris has to be so much fun of
you to go on one guy. What's his name? Oh shoot,
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
There's a there's an artist out there who said the
only person who enjoys a drum solo is the drummer.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's not true. Drum solos are there for a reason
that I light up the crowd.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
It was, but it is a tricky thing, you, Tom
Petty said, thinking about it, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Tom Petty said Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Tom Petty said, if this guy did a drum solo
on my tour, I'd fire him.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Wow, musicians in general, I hate drummers. Yeah, they they
It's it's a running gag that drummers and bands are
the dumbest in the band and all they do is
just sit there and keep time and you.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
And you know, Deaf Leopard has a one armed drummer,
Rick Allen. Of course he lost it.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
He lost it in I left lost his left arm
in a car accident, seat belt wrapped around it. He
got thrown from the car and the arm stayed in
the car. Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I never knew why he was one armed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They I saw his house when I first got to LA.
They showed me as he was moving and they showed
me that house and I was like, oh my god,
it's the Deaf Leopard guy's home.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
He's the richest guy in the band.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Why would that be.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't know, maybe investments or whatever, but he's he's
quite a philanthropist.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh that's terrific. Yeah, so he's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Look at you, Chris little good Deaf Leopard knowledge, thank
you a little Sofi review.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, and all in all, you had a good time. Yeah,
all in all, we had a good time.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Did you any refreshments? Are they overpriced refreshments?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
No, but on the way out there were eight vendors
telling hot dogs and a guy had a full bar,
a full bar with half empty bottles of booze. And
you know, people selling t shirts for five bucks and
you know, I don't know if they're misspelled or not, but.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, they're definitely they're not the official issue. I wouldn't think. Yes, yeah, yeah,
that's great, Thank you, Chris Little. Yeah, all right, go
back to your award winning ways. The KFI News department.
It is the Conway Show. That's everything you need to
know about SOFI, def Leppard, Journey, and a little bit
(10:32):
of Steve Miller.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
One of the most bizarre situations. I mean, it's somewhat
extraordinary that a guy in a pole seems to be
aside from the fact that he's climbed up to the
top of the pole, he's, you know, with it. He
was talking to crisis negotiators were trying to get him down.
There were multiple fire trucks there. There are multiple police
there and this is in Somar, And finally, based on
(11:05):
what I saw on television with TV news coverage, it
looked like everybody left and they just left the guy
up there on the pole.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
At the police department and fire department have and the
mental health professionals that are unseen that they've decided to
make to pull people away, get away and just see
if he'll come down on his own. And with the
information from the family and also from their experience, maybe
they're hoping that this person will just make the decision
to come down on his own. The good part about
(11:33):
this he's not that far up the pole, and should
he slip and fall that the injury is not going
to be too severe unless he hits on his head
or something of that sort. So you know they're going
to have to just keep an eye out. But the
problem is he's on a distributor of service line where
he's sitting. Those are one hundred or two twenty volte
power line. Those three lines one carries one ten, one
(11:55):
of the lines will carry the other one ten is
total at two twenty and luckily they're covered so he's
not making contact. So if he gets into those power lines.
Then you know that'll be a different issue. But I
apparently they've already decided that the best move here is
just to back away and let him, you know, come
down the pole on his own. So, you know, let
(12:15):
the police department, fire department do what they do best.
They are trained for this, and also the mental health
professions who are there, and hopefully that he has family
members that are helping him out through his crisis that
he's dealing with here on a pole.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, let's hope so well, we appreciate your perspective.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
That's police specialist, Tim len love it. Love it. So
in the end, they're treating this guy like you treat.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
A cat that's caught in a tree, which is, you know,
the cat is scared by everybody who climbs the tree
and tries to and then you know, I just remember
as a kid, particularly always being panicked when I saw
the cat up the tree. Occasionally you would get a
firefighter on a slow day who would come out and
they'd rescue the cat. But sometimes I get the cat
(13:00):
will come down, the cat will come down, don't scare
it further up the tree. In this case, this guy
who's having a mental health break, etc. He's up there,
and at one point he was climbing higher as more
and more law enforcement and firefighters shut up on the scene.
That's what he did, He climbed up higher. Now they've
all left and we'll see the Superman movie. The Christopher
(13:24):
Reeve documentary is something that has taken a long time
to happen. Superman. The Christopher Reeves story follows Christopher Reeves
rise to superstartive as Superman, and then of course he
always was saying after his near fatal injury that he
(13:47):
would walk again, and he was looking for a cure
for spinal cord injuries as he became a quadriplegic following
that horse riding accident. His son Matthew says, we not
only have his films to look at, but a collection
of home movies to dig up and go through, and
interviews on YouTube of him that we've included in the film.
(14:10):
Seeing things I hadn't seen before didn't change my perception
of him, but enhanced it. He said, like some rare
Australian interview done in nineteen seventy seven that was uploaded
and he said, I didn't even know it existed. It
was pretty cool. To see that and uncover a lot
more material than we knew about. It premiered at Sun Dance,
(14:32):
and critics said it was a moving, wrenching, compelling, well
made documentary. I mean, you know this guy, Christopher reed
he's known as Superman. He was really quite the distinguished actor.
And we do have the trailer. I haven't seen it.
Oh have you seen it?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Ah? Yeah, I just recently side. I just it's heart wrenching.
Oh my god, so good though.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Well, let's listen to it and hopefully a little bit
of that comes across. This is the trailer to Superman,
the Christopher Reeves story.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Everybody's looking for a hero. I am not a hero.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
That was a part I'd play it, the part I'm
not that man.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Hands down. He was Superman from day one.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
I realized that if I could pull off this part,
it would change my life.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
John Housman said.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
Mister Reeve, it is very important to become a serious
classical actor, unless, of course, they offer you a load
of money to.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Do something else. He convinced me, I've first meant that
you would fly doing things with my dad.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It was all about activity and action writing by explain soccer, skiing.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Corporate roll.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
My dad was very competitive and he didn't necessarily slow down.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We said goodbye to do this wave. That was the
last time is on his feet.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
Mister Greeve currently has no movement for spontaneous respiration.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Superman crazy, just that simple little thing over the horse.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
I'd ruined my life and everybody else's. I won't be
able to ski, sail, throw them all the will won't
be able to make love to Dana. Maybe we should
let me go.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
She kept flying in and she just yelled, I love you, I.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Love you, and then she said the words saved my life.
You're still you and I love you.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
He and Robin were such good friends because they could
match each other.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Robin also had struggles that he dealt with his whole life,
and I think that they both were aware of darkness.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Well, the Chris is fighting like grace.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
When you find people who fight like that but still
keep their humanity, that gives you great hope.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
That is tough because I can feel him, but I
can't feel him.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It must have been help from my mom too, knowing
that she had lost.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
I felt as I needed to do something not just
for myself, but for everyone else in the same condition.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
The fact that Superman was in a wheelchair and was
willing to go public with it was huge. Help is
all the way the Christopher and Dana Reeve paralysis at
(17:37):
people are literally walking because of him.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
What is a hero? My answer was that a hero
is someone who commits a gurageous action without considering the consequences.
Now my definition is completely different. I think your hero
is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere
(18:07):
and endure in spite of overwhelming office.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I wouldn't have missed this for the world. Wow, it's powerful.
Huh kills you man?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
That is rough. I didn't know that he and Robert
Williams were so close. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
But if you're wondering, it should be again. It was
at Sundance and it got these rave reviews. Should be
released in theaters September twenty first is what I was seeing.
So watch for it. If you want to see the trailer,
We're just allowed you to hear it. You want to
see it, it's on YouTube. You can find it. Superman.
It's broken the words in two, so it's Superman. The
(18:50):
Christopher Reeve story.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
When that movie first came out, I it changed my
world because you know the theme of that movie and
why they bring it into this movie is that you
will believe a man could fly with the technical aspects
of it. And he was just the perfect role for
the perfect time and a movie that you know has
been has made what a lot of what superhero movies
(19:13):
are and what the differences are between just playing at
it and doing it.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
There are some YouTube videos about how they got the
flying done in the Superman movie. If you liked the
movie that much, you may want to find those. Those
are on YouTube. You did a deep dive on those
one because a lot of the stuff they did was
somewhat rudimentary because it still wasn't you know, computer generated stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
It was it like the force perspective stuff and some
of that stuff, thank you exactly. And that was so
big when the second movie came out, which most people
say was the best Superman movie that they may, you know,
with General Zod and all that stuff, it was so big.
I still have the program that they were selling in
the theaters at the time, because I used to sell
programs for movies sometimes in the theaters. I still have
(19:59):
that program.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He was in other films too, as an actor, you know,
far away from the role of Superman. So that's a
great experience too to see some of his performances. But
this will be quite the movie Superman, The Christopher Reeves Story.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's just nice to be somewhere where I don't have
to say please, like share and subscribe I own. It
really is so great to not have to I go
from the doghouse to the penthouse when I come over here.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
It's really very nice.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
My YouTube show is the Mark Thompson Joe's Politics and News.
Mostly it's the radio show kind of my radio show
that I had. It's gone to YouTube, but you can
subscribe and you never have to watch. I guess the
subscription numbers help.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah. That way you never have to burden yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
But it's great to be over here at KFI, and
I always feel like I'm right on top of everything
going on over here at k Two million dollar California
Lottery tickets bought in the LA area are unclaimed to
this moment. It's kind of crazy. Deadlines are approaching for
(21:15):
two lucky lottery players. They bought tickets for two million
apiece earlier this year. They were purchased in southern California.
There's a Mega Million's ticket that matched five of the
six numbers in the March fifth drawing that's going to
expire on Sunday, and the ticket was purchased at the
(21:36):
Stater Brothers in Riverside County in Cathedral City. The winner
has until five o'clock Friday to claim the one in
Cathedral City, I believe, and the way it's claimed you
can mail a claim form to the lottery headquarters in Sacramento,
(22:00):
but that ticket has to be postmarked honor before Saturday.
The other two million dollar ticket has a claim deadline
of September nineteenth that was sold on Roscoe Boulevard in
the San Fernando Valley community of Sun Valley. Come on
for that seven eleven on Roscoe Boulevard in Sun Valley
(22:24):
Live at large. So again that's September nineteenth. Wow, Powerball
and Mega Million's winners you got who match five numbers
have one hundred and eighty days from the date of
the draw to claim the winnings. Meantime, a Mega Million's
(22:44):
jackpot is surging to over five hundred and seventy million.
No one matched all the winning numbers on Friday. The
jackpot for tonight's drawing is five hundred and seventy five million.
It's the ninth largest prize in the history of the game.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
It's kind of weird how a year ago, roughly and
towards the beginning of the year, there was a good
three or four months where it was topping, getting up
to major amounts close to a half you know, half
a billion, close to a billion, like consistently, and we
haven't really heard anything at about a good three four, five,
six months.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's exactly right. I remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Also, it just seemed to be there was a period
during which that lottery was fat, and now we have
to be happy with half a billion dollars. Yeah, whatever,
five hundred and fifty two million. There you go, seven
forty five. I know you're thinking, well, maybe I would
(23:42):
consider maybe you've got till seven forty five tonight to
pick up a mega million's ticket. The drawing will begin
at eight o'clock tonight, so you can pick up the
tickets of course at you know, lottery retailers all across
the state of California. Meantime, huge data breach has led
to some tips for those who want to protect their.
Speaker 11 (24:05):
Credits, over three billion records were leaked.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Angela Setter's Bizard hosts a podcast called The Real Credit Queen.
For the past thirty six years, she's been working with
people hit by identity thus, something she says is best
prevented than repaired.
Speaker 11 (24:21):
It is very intrusive, it doesn't feel good, and it's
not easy to fix.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And remember, all of our data virtually was breached, right
They got all the social security numbers that had a
bunch of other stuff, and that was an insane release
of data. So the dark web, i feel, is filled
with a bunch of details that all of us have.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
We now billions so personal records are out there, including
social security numbers and condless people are getting notifications in
the mail that their credit data or other bits of
information are in the wrong hand.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
With all these other baches we've had, just about all
of our social security numbers are already out there and
floating around on.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The dark web.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And while that's bad, doctor Clifford Newman of USC's Center
for Computer System Security says there are steps to take
to make sure you don't get burned by data thieves.
The first step is to be wary of emails you
get warning of data breaches.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
Don't go clicking on the links in the notice itself,
because sometimes criminals themselves will spam you with fake notices
trying to get you to click on the link. You
click on the link, you think, Okay, I'd better log
into the site, figure out what's going on, try to
fix things. And by logging into that site, you're actually
giving the criminals the information that they're trying to get.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
What's the latest scam? I know everybody's gotten it. You
get these emails, I might get five a day, something
along the lines of thank you for your order, your
invoices below.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Isn't everybody getting these?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yes, the texts, right, I'm getting text text that's even
more intrusive, you know.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yeah, less likely to go because you're like, wait, hang
on a second. Yeah, it's more direct and a direct
association with you.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, thank you for your order. Exclamation part. We've processed
your order. You're thinking, I didn't order anything. How do
I go to how do I get no? No, no, no,
that's what they want you to do.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Let me click on it and see what it's about. Yeah,
don't exactly.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
And one of the best steps. Experts suggest freeze your
credit at all the credit reporting agencies Equifax, Experience, TransUnion,
and the lesser known in Novis and it won't cost.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
You a dime.
Speaker 11 (26:30):
It cuts off the thieves at the knees because as
soon as they go to try to use your credit,
they're going to come up with a blank screen.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
There is a downside to freezing your credit, though, if
you're looking to buy a house or car, or anything
that requires.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
There is a downside of freezing your credit. If you're
looking to participate in society at any way, you could
be setting.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
If you're looking to buy a house or car or
anything that requires a new loan, you're gonna have to
jump through an extra step.
Speaker 10 (26:59):
When you want to life for credit, you need to
go and unfreeze it before you do that application.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Okay, I got it. That's the story. Freeze it and
then unfreeze it.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
The scammers are getting more clever, and we have to
get more clever.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
In kindergarten, one of the things that kids do is
they celebrate birthdays, and when there are birthdays, usually the
parents bring in what cupcakes. They bring in cupcakes for
the whole class. It's a big you know, it's the
happy kindergarten thing. Well, there's a kindergarten teacher in Illinois
(27:46):
with an unpopular opinion. But I wonder if it isn't
really the truth about the cupcake festival that accompanies every
birthday kid has.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
She says.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Don't bring cupcakes, please. They make a ginormous mess, she says,
and the kids honestly don't eat them. The frosting gets
all over the place. It's just too much for them.
They're kindergarteners. She suggests simple, easy, store bought items like cookies,
miniature donuts, brownies, Little Debbie Cosmic brownies, the kind with
(28:24):
candy coated chocolate chips. She says, they're always a hit.
She goes on to say this another thing about Little
Debbie that's the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies is that the
children can bring it in themselves. Just stick it. Oh,
just stick the box in their backpack and you're good
to go.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
She says.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I understand the appeal of cupcakes. They're big and pretty,
but most kids eat the frosting and nothing else. Another
good option She said, I had a student bring in
individual ice cream cups and sprinkles, and I never had
a class more excited. They finished every bite. She says.
She talks about her opinion essentially being unpopular, and parents
(29:13):
are pushing back. They're going, hey, is it your birthday
or their birthday? Yeah, what's the big thing? You got
to clean up the classroom? Okay, but the kid loves it.
Parents said, I was my kindergartener's room mom last year,
and I help with all the holiday parties. I actually
said out loud during one note to self, don't send cupcakes,
(29:36):
So she's not not. All the parents disagree with her.
Lunch lady here, said another parent. The cupcakes land frosting
side down on the floor, the red and blue stain
the kids, the tables make huge messes. But send to
the classroom what your kid would like to have for
their birthday? Somebody else said, many cupcakes, best of both worlds.
(29:59):
Way to eat, a way easier to eat, less messy,
still fun. And finally, my son's last year of elementary school,
we bought Taco Bell for his birthday. We got to
count for hard or soft tacos the day before the
kids and the teacher loved it. But that's elementary school.
The last year of elementary school. You're in sixth grade.
(30:22):
That's a totally different scene. She's talking about kindergarten where
cupcakes end up on the floor, on your shirt. You
know it's a mess. So that TikTok video where a
kindergarten teacher decries the bringing of cupcakes to the classroom
(30:43):
on birthdays. That has gone mega viral, which is why
I mention it. And speaking of megaviral, that's this world,
isn't it?
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Mo?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
The Segway world.
Speaker 12 (30:54):
I thought that you're going to go And speaking of cupcakes,
I was say, how should I take?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Is this an insult coming my way? He's setting it up?
I didn't know how to.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
And speaking of birthdays, how about Mo Kelly who comes
up in just minutes?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
What is on your show today? We have to talk
about San Francisco.
Speaker 12 (31:15):
Parents in San Francisco are sending their kids to school
in way mos driverless cars. You know something about that,
Mark Thompson, I do I've written in them? Were you comfortable?
Would you be comfortable with a minor writing in it?
Even though even though they're not supposed to be writing
in them, Uh not my minor. Yeah, we're gonna talk
(31:37):
about that. We're gonna talk about the cities with the
highest DUI rates in America, and most of them are
here in California.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I saw that as well, and I was trying to
look into it, like is there something flawed? And the statistics,
the statistics look right. It's do UIs forever for every
thousand people. Yeah, we're you know, we're number one.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yes.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
And also Santa Mona right now in their city council meeting,
they're considering some different plans to crack down on homelessness
in the wake of what Gavin Newsom has done with
his Executive Action.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
And Santa Monica is a place where the homeless have
lived large.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Oh yeah, they've taken liberties.
Speaker 12 (32:17):
Yeah, it's not the same, Okay, being homeless and Santamnca
is not the same as being skid row.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So if they do break back on the homeless, it's
going to be a hard landing for a lot of people.
You know, That's all I'm saying. Moe is next. Can't
wait to listen. Always great seeing you, Mo, Kelly Si. Yeah,
thanks everybody, Thanks for the love. Conway kids. You know
I love hanging out right here and I'll look forward
to doing it tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Next, we are KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on

Speaker 5 (32:51):
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Chris Little, who runs the CAFI News department. He does
have a personal life and when he takes time out
of his duties running this award winning department here KFI,
he likes his concerts. He went to SOFI. What did
you see down there?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We saw, Well, we missed Steve Miller and Journey and
def Leppard.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh wow, the real throwback show. But you missed the openers.
Then you're saying, well, we miss Steve Miller most of it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We saw we heard the last song, but they're all
rock and Roll Hall of famers. By the last song,
I don't remember because we were still outside, But you
know what we saw?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Question though, what was the last We saw Steve.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Miller at Yamava on a small venue and that was awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I mean, he's really talented.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's really weird that it's taken so long to get
in the rock and roll Hall of Time, although I
don't know how that works.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Maybe and he has a big shout out to Les Paul,
who is, of course the guy who made the Less
Paul guitars. Les Paul gave Steve Miller a guitar and
he talks about it every time.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, that's cool. Well obviously it meant a lot to him.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So you did then, but you saw def Leppard and
you saw a Journey.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh yeah, okay, and.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now tell me about the Sofi experience as a concert goer,
because I guess that's the thing that was really interesting
to you.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah. Well, look polite when I say interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, well, first of all, let me tell you. The
first thing we did was we parked a mile away
for thirty four dollars. We got in and out with
zero problem. My wife has been to Sofi several times
and she says it takes her an hour or more
sometimes to get out of there.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So she'd identified a place that you could park that
you wouldn't have to deal with the parking issue.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I didn't have to mess with it. So we
get there and.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
By the way, you hit the jackpot with your wife choice.
She is one of oh, thank you, absolutely greatest people.
Start to finish checks every box. She's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah. Well she puts up with a lot. Yeah. Anyway,
so you so you parked there and then you got
you walked and yeah, we walked.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It was it was kind of a you know, a
bit of a walk, and then we had floor seats, right, yeah,
that's what everybody says. And then until you realize to
get to the floor you have to go one hundred
feet down. Uh, so we had to. It's so so far.
The stadium is built one hundred feet below ground, so
you have a And the reason they did that was
(02:29):
just because of you know, flight patterns at LAX and
they didn't want the building to mess with the radar.
That was a big study to put it off for
a while. But anyway, to get down to one hundred
feet you got to walk down seven ramps, down seven rams.
And I got halfway down there and I said to Julie,
I am never doing this again.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm because we already walked a mile. What's your maximum ramp?
Would you go?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Three?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Four ramps? Maybe three? Three? Maybe maybe three at the max?
Now there are no stairs, like straight stairs down. No. No,
they they say elevator. There is an elevator. And I
heard one of the guys on the way out. He goes, yeah,
you can wait for the elevator if you want to
wait for two hours. Yeah, I'm sure, because you know
they have all.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
These levels an escalator, no escalator, man, just a big
long rams.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So when you get down there, after all that long walk,
you're then on the floor.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
You're on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
But oddly enough, I whipped out my altimeter because I
wanted to see what direction we were facing and everything.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know, the compass and altimeter.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We're still forty seven feet above sea level after you go,
and they took after you go one hundred feet down,
they took seven million cubic yards of dirt.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Out of that thing. That's wild.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's a thousand Olympic sized swimming pools, that is wild,
or two million, eight hundred thousand standard pickup trucks. More
if you're talking about a Ford F one fifty, because
their bed is only like six feet instead of eight feet.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Oh, I see, it's actually the smaller. Yeah, yeah, so
it would take more than a two millionator. Desert facts
that are no interest to anyone.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
No, but there's no air conditioning. This will be interesting
to you. There's no air conditioning in most of the place.
There might be in some of the offices and stuff,
but no air conditioning. And we felt a cool breeze
all the time, and it was that ocean breeze coming
in and it would hit you and you I was thinking,
where are the air conditioning vents? And so, you know,
I looked it up and found that, you know, it's
(04:34):
got three hundred and two panels and you know, a
bun to allow the ocean bridge had forty six windows open.
But there is not air conditioning. There is there is
no air conditioning. But if you get on Reddit, those
guys will say stuff like, well, so far is tropical
and hot. Don't take a jacket. It was hotter than hell.
(04:54):
Take a lot of water, and you know, you just
you gotta be careful.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
When I went to uh so if I uh was
it last year to see Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks.
We were up higher up and it was freezing because
of that ocean breeze.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, even even Billy.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Joel said something.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
He was wrapping it.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
He was wrapping a scarf around his neck to keep
his throat warm so he could still sing. And he
mentioned multiple times like damn.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's cold in here.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, there's no there's no controlling it. So I'm assuming
there's no heat either. Because Billy Joel's got a good seat,
you know for that show. Yeah, well that's and and Crozier.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Did you you so you were your twice when Billy Joel,
what was you want to know?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I went to it.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
It's the first game, the Chargers game a couple of
years ago, and that was just I'll give him a
little bit of a pass because it was the first
game and they're still working out the kinks. But it
took it took to two to three hours to get
out of there to get home after the game.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Of it's still a mess man.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
And the second time when I went to Billy Joel,
we like, like you said, Chris, we found a space,
you know, a little further off of the off of
the site. We parked at the parking structure where the
casine is. Yeah, and we walked over. But then the
problem with that is is that we got all the
way back to our car and they will not let
you leave the parking structure until all the parking at
(06:12):
the stadium has left. That I'll have to so we
had to wait another hour and a half to two
hours to leave the parking structure.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'll have to give you the hot Yeah, yeah, no,
it was just down we were mile There's a a
cemetery down there, and we parked in front of the
cemetery in like a little medical office and and by
the time we got there, there were no cars there.
And I said to Julie, where is everybody?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
She goes?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
They did not have to walk seven ramps up from
the floor. You guys did lie like a lot of steps.
Yeah that night. Yeah, they're gone, I mean they were gone. Uh,
it was overall, it was you know, it was good.
But like I said, I don't think I want to
I mean I didn't say it, but I'm saying it now.
I don't think I want to go there in the summer.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
And you know, my daughter was there on Sunday because
she works at so Far doing events and stuff. And
she said, and you can verify this, she said, it
was actually pretty empty in the stadium.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Well, you mean for the for the for your concert. No,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
On Instagram, I put a video up and you can
see it was actually full. Really yeah, I mean, I
mean very I mean it was impressive because she does
she does a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
And she was saying, maybe it's based on how they
arrange the seats because she says it was about two
thirds full from what she's seen it in the past.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Room. Well, okay, two thirds might be might be good.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But again, remember these guys don't really play huge venues
one it, you know, by themselves.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I thought it was fun.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Wow, they really pulled that many people to feel so fine.
She was surprised by how many songs she knew. Oh wow, that's,
of course from Journey or Deaf Leopard. I think mostly
journey Man.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Deaf Leopard rocked that that that place was.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
They're fantastic and that was really the act that you
were there to see.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well Journey, Yeah, but then after a while I got
tired of the solos and uh, you know, guitar solo,
drum solo.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know, Chris has to be so much fun of
you to go on one guy. What's his name? Oh shoot,
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
There's a there's an artist out there who said the
only person who enjoys a drum solo is the drummer.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's not true. Drum solos are there for a reason
that I light up the crowd.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
It was, but it is a tricky thing, you, Tom
Petty said, thinking about it, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Tom Petty said Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Tom Petty said, if this guy did a drum solo
on my tour, I'd fire him.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Wow, musicians in general, I hate drummers. Yeah, they they
It's it's a running gag that drummers and bands are
the dumbest in the band and all they do is
just sit there and keep time and you.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
And you know, Deaf Leopard has a one armed drummer,
Rick Allen. Of course he lost it.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
He lost it in I left lost his left arm
in a car accident, seat belt wrapped around it. He
got thrown from the car and the arm stayed in
the car. Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I never knew why he was one armed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They I saw his house when I first got to LA.
They showed me as he was moving and they showed
me that house and I was like, oh my god,
it's the Deaf Leopard guy's home.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
He's the richest guy in the band.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Why would that be.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't know, maybe investments or whatever, but he's he's
quite a philanthropist.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh that's terrific. Yeah, so he's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Look at you, Chris little good Deaf Leopard knowledge, thank
you a little Sofi review.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, and all in all, you had a good time. Yeah,
all in all, we had a good time.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Did you any refreshments? Are they overpriced refreshments?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
No, but on the way out there were eight vendors
telling hot dogs and a guy had a full bar,
a full bar with half empty bottles of booze. And
you know, people selling t shirts for five bucks and
you know, I don't know if they're misspelled or not, but.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, they're definitely they're not the official issue. I wouldn't think. Yes, yeah, yeah,
that's great, Thank you, Chris Little. Yeah, all right, go
back to your award winning ways. The KFI News department.
It is the Conway Show. That's everything you need to
know about SOFI, def Leppard, Journey, and a little bit
(10:32):
of Steve Miller.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
One of the most bizarre situations. I mean, it's somewhat
extraordinary that a guy in a pole seems to be
aside from the fact that he's climbed up to the
top of the pole, he's, you know, with it. He
was talking to crisis negotiators were trying to get him down.
There were multiple fire trucks there. There are multiple police
there and this is in Somar, And finally, based on
(11:05):
what I saw on television with TV news coverage, it
looked like everybody left and they just left the guy
up there on the pole.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
At the police department and fire department have and the
mental health professionals that are unseen that they've decided to
make to pull people away, get away and just see
if he'll come down on his own. And with the
information from the family and also from their experience, maybe
they're hoping that this person will just make the decision
to come down on his own. The good part about
(11:33):
this he's not that far up the pole, and should
he slip and fall that the injury is not going
to be too severe unless he hits on his head
or something of that sort. So you know they're going
to have to just keep an eye out. But the
problem is he's on a distributor of service line where
he's sitting. Those are one hundred or two twenty volte
power line. Those three lines one carries one ten, one
(11:55):
of the lines will carry the other one ten is
total at two twenty and luckily they're covered so he's
not making contact. So if he gets into those power lines.
Then you know that'll be a different issue. But I
apparently they've already decided that the best move here is
just to back away and let him, you know, come
down the pole on his own. So, you know, let
(12:15):
the police department, fire department do what they do best.
They are trained for this, and also the mental health
professions who are there, and hopefully that he has family
members that are helping him out through his crisis that
he's dealing with here on a pole.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, let's hope so well, we appreciate your perspective.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
That's police specialist, Tim len love it. Love it. So
in the end, they're treating this guy like you treat.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
A cat that's caught in a tree, which is, you know,
the cat is scared by everybody who climbs the tree
and tries to and then you know, I just remember
as a kid, particularly always being panicked when I saw
the cat up the tree. Occasionally you would get a
firefighter on a slow day who would come out and
they'd rescue the cat. But sometimes I get the cat
(13:00):
will come down, the cat will come down, don't scare
it further up the tree. In this case, this guy
who's having a mental health break, etc. He's up there,
and at one point he was climbing higher as more
and more law enforcement and firefighters shut up on the scene.
That's what he did, He climbed up higher. Now they've
all left and we'll see the Superman movie. The Christopher
(13:24):
Reeve documentary is something that has taken a long time
to happen. Superman. The Christopher Reeves story follows Christopher Reeves
rise to superstartive as Superman, and then of course he
always was saying after his near fatal injury that he
(13:47):
would walk again, and he was looking for a cure
for spinal cord injuries as he became a quadriplegic following
that horse riding accident. His son Matthew says, we not
only have his films to look at, but a collection
of home movies to dig up and go through, and
interviews on YouTube of him that we've included in the film.
(14:10):
Seeing things I hadn't seen before didn't change my perception
of him, but enhanced it. He said, like some rare
Australian interview done in nineteen seventy seven that was uploaded
and he said, I didn't even know it existed. It
was pretty cool. To see that and uncover a lot
more material than we knew about. It premiered at Sun Dance,
(14:32):
and critics said it was a moving, wrenching, compelling, well
made documentary. I mean, you know this guy, Christopher reed
he's known as Superman. He was really quite the distinguished actor.
And we do have the trailer. I haven't seen it.
Oh have you seen it?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Ah? Yeah, I just recently side. I just it's heart wrenching.
Oh my god, so good though.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Well, let's listen to it and hopefully a little bit
of that comes across. This is the trailer to Superman,
the Christopher Reeves story.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Everybody's looking for a hero. I am not a hero.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
That was a part I'd play it, the part I'm
not that man.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Hands down. He was Superman from day one.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
I realized that if I could pull off this part,
it would change my life.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
John Housman said.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
Mister Reeve, it is very important to become a serious
classical actor, unless, of course, they offer you a load
of money to.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Do something else. He convinced me, I've first meant that
you would fly doing things with my dad.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It was all about activity and action writing by explain soccer, skiing.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Corporate roll.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
My dad was very competitive and he didn't necessarily slow down.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We said goodbye to do this wave. That was the
last time is on his feet.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
Mister Greeve currently has no movement for spontaneous respiration.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Superman crazy, just that simple little thing over the horse.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
I'd ruined my life and everybody else's. I won't be
able to ski, sail, throw them all the will won't
be able to make love to Dana. Maybe we should
let me go.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
She kept flying in and she just yelled, I love you, I.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Love you, and then she said the words saved my life.
You're still you and I love you.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
He and Robin were such good friends because they could
match each other.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Robin also had struggles that he dealt with his whole life,
and I think that they both were aware of darkness.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Well, the Chris is fighting like grace.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
When you find people who fight like that but still
keep their humanity, that gives you great hope.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
That is tough because I can feel him, but I
can't feel him.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It must have been help from my mom too, knowing
that she had lost.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
I felt as I needed to do something not just
for myself, but for everyone else in the same condition.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
The fact that Superman was in a wheelchair and was
willing to go public with it was huge. Help is
all the way the Christopher and Dana Reeve paralysis at
(17:37):
people are literally walking because of him.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
What is a hero? My answer was that a hero
is someone who commits a gurageous action without considering the consequences.
Now my definition is completely different. I think your hero
is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere
(18:07):
and endure in spite of overwhelming office.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I wouldn't have missed this for the world. Wow, it's powerful.
Huh kills you man?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
That is rough. I didn't know that he and Robert
Williams were so close. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
But if you're wondering, it should be again. It was
at Sundance and it got these rave reviews. Should be
released in theaters September twenty first is what I was seeing.
So watch for it. If you want to see the trailer,
We're just allowed you to hear it. You want to
see it, it's on YouTube. You can find it. Superman.
It's broken the words in two, so it's Superman. The
(18:50):
Christopher Reeve story.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
When that movie first came out, I it changed my
world because you know the theme of that movie and
why they bring it into this movie is that you
will believe a man could fly with the technical aspects
of it. And he was just the perfect role for
the perfect time and a movie that you know has
been has made what a lot of what superhero movies
(19:13):
are and what the differences are between just playing at
it and doing it.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
There are some YouTube videos about how they got the
flying done in the Superman movie. If you liked the
movie that much, you may want to find those. Those
are on YouTube. You did a deep dive on those
one because a lot of the stuff they did was
somewhat rudimentary because it still wasn't you know, computer generated stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
It was it like the force perspective stuff and some
of that stuff, thank you exactly. And that was so
big when the second movie came out, which most people
say was the best Superman movie that they may, you know,
with General Zod and all that stuff, it was so big.
I still have the program that they were selling in
the theaters at the time, because I used to sell
programs for movies sometimes in the theaters. I still have
(19:59):
that program.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He was in other films too, as an actor, you know,
far away from the role of Superman. So that's a
great experience too to see some of his performances. But
this will be quite the movie Superman, The Christopher Reeves Story.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's just nice to be somewhere where I don't have
to say please, like share and subscribe I own. It
really is so great to not have to I go
from the doghouse to the penthouse when I come over here.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
It's really very nice.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
My YouTube show is the Mark Thompson Joe's Politics and News.
Mostly it's the radio show kind of my radio show
that I had. It's gone to YouTube, but you can
subscribe and you never have to watch. I guess the
subscription numbers help.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah. That way you never have to burden yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
But it's great to be over here at KFI, and
I always feel like I'm right on top of everything
going on over here at k Two million dollar California
Lottery tickets bought in the LA area are unclaimed to
this moment. It's kind of crazy. Deadlines are approaching for
(21:15):
two lucky lottery players. They bought tickets for two million
apiece earlier this year. They were purchased in southern California.
There's a Mega Million's ticket that matched five of the
six numbers in the March fifth drawing that's going to
expire on Sunday, and the ticket was purchased at the
(21:36):
Stater Brothers in Riverside County in Cathedral City. The winner
has until five o'clock Friday to claim the one in
Cathedral City, I believe, and the way it's claimed you
can mail a claim form to the lottery headquarters in Sacramento,
(22:00):
but that ticket has to be postmarked honor before Saturday.
The other two million dollar ticket has a claim deadline
of September nineteenth that was sold on Roscoe Boulevard in
the San Fernando Valley community of Sun Valley. Come on
for that seven eleven on Roscoe Boulevard in Sun Valley
(22:24):
Live at large. So again that's September nineteenth. Wow, Powerball
and Mega Million's winners you got who match five numbers
have one hundred and eighty days from the date of
the draw to claim the winnings. Meantime, a Mega Million's
(22:44):
jackpot is surging to over five hundred and seventy million.
No one matched all the winning numbers on Friday. The
jackpot for tonight's drawing is five hundred and seventy five million.
It's the ninth largest prize in the history of the game.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
It's kind of weird how a year ago, roughly and
towards the beginning of the year, there was a good
three or four months where it was topping, getting up
to major amounts close to a half you know, half
a billion, close to a billion, like consistently, and we
haven't really heard anything at about a good three four, five,
six months.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's exactly right. I remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Also, it just seemed to be there was a period
during which that lottery was fat, and now we have
to be happy with half a billion dollars. Yeah, whatever,
five hundred and fifty two million. There you go, seven
forty five. I know you're thinking, well, maybe I would
(23:42):
consider maybe you've got till seven forty five tonight to
pick up a mega million's ticket. The drawing will begin
at eight o'clock tonight, so you can pick up the
tickets of course at you know, lottery retailers all across
the state of California. Meantime, huge data breach has led
to some tips for those who want to protect their.
Speaker 11 (24:05):
Credits, over three billion records were leaked.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Angela Setter's Bizard hosts a podcast called The Real Credit Queen.
For the past thirty six years, she's been working with
people hit by identity thus, something she says is best
prevented than repaired.
Speaker 11 (24:21):
It is very intrusive, it doesn't feel good, and it's
not easy to fix.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And remember, all of our data virtually was breached, right
They got all the social security numbers that had a
bunch of other stuff, and that was an insane release
of data. So the dark web, i feel, is filled
with a bunch of details that all of us have.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
We now billions so personal records are out there, including
social security numbers and condless people are getting notifications in
the mail that their credit data or other bits of
information are in the wrong hand.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
With all these other baches we've had, just about all
of our social security numbers are already out there and
floating around on.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The dark web.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And while that's bad, doctor Clifford Newman of USC's Center
for Computer System Security says there are steps to take
to make sure you don't get burned by data thieves.
The first step is to be wary of emails you
get warning of data breaches.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
Don't go clicking on the links in the notice itself,
because sometimes criminals themselves will spam you with fake notices
trying to get you to click on the link. You
click on the link, you think, Okay, I'd better log
into the site, figure out what's going on, try to
fix things. And by logging into that site, you're actually
giving the criminals the information that they're trying to get.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
What's the latest scam? I know everybody's gotten it. You
get these emails, I might get five a day, something
along the lines of thank you for your order, your
invoices below.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Isn't everybody getting these?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yes, the texts, right, I'm getting text text that's even
more intrusive, you know.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yeah, less likely to go because you're like, wait, hang
on a second. Yeah, it's more direct and a direct
association with you.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, thank you for your order. Exclamation part. We've processed
your order. You're thinking, I didn't order anything. How do
I go to how do I get no? No, no, no,
that's what they want you to do.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Let me click on it and see what it's about. Yeah,
don't exactly.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
And one of the best steps. Experts suggest freeze your
credit at all the credit reporting agencies Equifax, Experience, TransUnion,
and the lesser known in Novis and it won't cost.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
You a dime.
Speaker 11 (26:30):
It cuts off the thieves at the knees because as
soon as they go to try to use your credit,
they're going to come up with a blank screen.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
There is a downside to freezing your credit, though, if
you're looking to buy a house or car, or anything
that requires.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
There is a downside of freezing your credit. If you're
looking to participate in society at any way, you could
be setting.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
If you're looking to buy a house or car or
anything that requires a new loan, you're gonna have to
jump through an extra step.
Speaker 10 (26:59):
When you want to life for credit, you need to
go and unfreeze it before you do that application.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Okay, I got it. That's the story. Freeze it and
then unfreeze it.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
The scammers are getting more clever, and we have to
get more clever.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
In kindergarten, one of the things that kids do is
they celebrate birthdays, and when there are birthdays, usually the
parents bring in what cupcakes. They bring in cupcakes for
the whole class. It's a big you know, it's the
happy kindergarten thing. Well, there's a kindergarten teacher in Illinois
(27:46):
with an unpopular opinion. But I wonder if it isn't
really the truth about the cupcake festival that accompanies every
birthday kid has.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
She says.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Don't bring cupcakes, please. They make a ginormous mess, she says,
and the kids honestly don't eat them. The frosting gets
all over the place. It's just too much for them.
They're kindergarteners. She suggests simple, easy, store bought items like cookies,
miniature donuts, brownies, Little Debbie Cosmic brownies, the kind with
(28:24):
candy coated chocolate chips. She says, they're always a hit.
She goes on to say this another thing about Little
Debbie that's the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies is that the
children can bring it in themselves. Just stick it. Oh,
just stick the box in their backpack and you're good
to go.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
She says.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I understand the appeal of cupcakes. They're big and pretty,
but most kids eat the frosting and nothing else. Another
good option She said, I had a student bring in
individual ice cream cups and sprinkles, and I never had
a class more excited. They finished every bite. She says.
She talks about her opinion essentially being unpopular, and parents
(29:13):
are pushing back. They're going, hey, is it your birthday
or their birthday? Yeah, what's the big thing? You got
to clean up the classroom? Okay, but the kid loves it.
Parents said, I was my kindergartener's room mom last year,
and I help with all the holiday parties. I actually
said out loud during one note to self, don't send cupcakes,
(29:36):
So she's not not. All the parents disagree with her.
Lunch lady here, said another parent. The cupcakes land frosting
side down on the floor, the red and blue stain
the kids, the tables make huge messes. But send to
the classroom what your kid would like to have for
their birthday? Somebody else said, many cupcakes, best of both worlds.
(29:59):
Way to eat, a way easier to eat, less messy,
still fun. And finally, my son's last year of elementary school,
we bought Taco Bell for his birthday. We got to
count for hard or soft tacos the day before the
kids and the teacher loved it. But that's elementary school.
The last year of elementary school. You're in sixth grade.
(30:22):
That's a totally different scene. She's talking about kindergarten where
cupcakes end up on the floor, on your shirt. You
know it's a mess. So that TikTok video where a
kindergarten teacher decries the bringing of cupcakes to the classroom
(30:43):
on birthdays. That has gone mega viral, which is why
I mention it. And speaking of megaviral, that's this world,
isn't it?
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Mo?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
The Segway world.
Speaker 12 (30:54):
I thought that you're going to go And speaking of cupcakes,
I was say, how should I take?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Is this an insult coming my way? He's setting it up?
I didn't know how to.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
And speaking of birthdays, how about Mo Kelly who comes
up in just minutes?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
What is on your show today? We have to talk
about San Francisco.
Speaker 12 (31:15):
Parents in San Francisco are sending their kids to school
in way mos driverless cars. You know something about that,
Mark Thompson, I do I've written in them? Were you comfortable?
Would you be comfortable with a minor writing in it?
Even though even though they're not supposed to be writing
in them, Uh not my minor. Yeah, we're gonna talk
(31:37):
about that. We're gonna talk about the cities with the
highest DUI rates in America, and most of them are
here in California.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I saw that as well, and I was trying to
look into it, like is there something flawed? And the statistics,
the statistics look right. It's do UIs forever for every
thousand people. Yeah, we're you know, we're number one.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yes.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
And also Santa Mona right now in their city council meeting,
they're considering some different plans to crack down on homelessness
in the wake of what Gavin Newsom has done with
his Executive Action.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
And Santa Monica is a place where the homeless have
lived large.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Oh yeah, they've taken liberties.
Speaker 12 (32:17):
Yeah, it's not the same, Okay, being homeless and Santamnca
is not the same as being skid row.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So if they do break back on the homeless, it's
going to be a hard landing for a lot of people.
You know, That's all I'm saying. Moe is next. Can't
wait to listen. Always great seeing you, Mo, Kelly Si. Yeah,
thanks everybody, Thanks for the love. Conway kids. You know
I love hanging out right here and I'll look forward
to doing it tomorrow.
