Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am six and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are live live live on Labor Day. We all
decided to come in. Everybody on the show. Everybody decided
to come in, which is pretty rare. All Right, we
have an update on this fire from Chris Christy, a
buddy of mine I consider a body. I've had lunch
with this maam. I noticed that he didn't eat any meat.
(00:30):
I don't know, and I and it was my first
lunch with him, so I didn't want to bang on
him and ask him if he was a vegan. But
he had like a vegetable burger and I'm like, uh,
that's kind of on. So I had vegetable. Yeah, I
didn't want to. I didn't want to hit him. So
I don't know. Maybe meal two, he you know, bangs
out of rack of ribs or steak or something. But
(00:55):
he's a cool guy. Cool dude, got quite a life.
He's got a great wife, he's got a kid, he's
got a going on, and he's over this brush fire.
So let's find out what's going on with this fire.
Out the two ten and the six five, The two
ten and the six to five.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Over Irwindale, right near the two ten freeway, where this
ten acre fire has now exploded to forty acres according
to La County Fire. You can see a body of
flames right there next to some railroad tracks, strike teams
on the ground there, and repeated air drops taking place
water drops taking place from the air. As this fire
continues to creep closer to the two ten freeway already
(01:31):
you can see how the smoke is affecting both sides
of the two ten freeway. There is that Chinook helicopter
which is doing a bulk of the work here, continuing
those three thousand ton water drops. And right next to
this fire.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well that's a lot of water, is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Three thousand tons continuing those three thousand ton.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Seems like a lot. Three thousand tons would be six
hundred thousand pounds water drops, I think been I think
he meant three thousand gallons.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Continuing those three thousand ton water drops. And right next
to this fire is a quarry with a pretty deep
pit that they are trying at all cost to keep
that fire out of. That would present major obstacles in
fighting this fire. If that fire starts to explode inside
of that pit right there on the right hand side
of your screen. Right now, temperatures and that ten plus
(02:28):
mile per hour wind is really not helping the situation
as we continue to keep an eye.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And they got to beat this fired today. It's going
to get hot tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday and Friday, it's
gonna be hotter than hell on this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Brush fire here at or putting live from Air seven.
I'm Chris Christy, ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I would snooze the chinook. Hella tanker can is able
to drop three thousand gallons of water wow or retardant
day or night, and can refill the tanks in under
ninety seconds. So yes, three thousand gallons.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, but you know who, I'd keep an eye on
the guy refilling it. You don't want a disgruntled guy
filling up one of those Chinnock helicopters with like gasoline,
you know, So he drops like three thousand gallons of
gas on the fire, Like, ah, well, who did that?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Dale?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He's always screwing around, Dan, He's always joking. He's always
joking back to the station. He's the guy joking. Yeah,
he's the guy that painted the Dalmatian so he had
no spots painted all white. Yeah, the same guy, same guy. Yeah,
I gotta watch that guy. Gotta keepn eye on that dude.
All right, another update on this fire.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
You're looking at one of the hotspots here. I'll come
out to a wider shot to show you. This all
happening inside the Santa Fe Damn area here off of
the two ten and the six oh five Freeway, started
about three thirty this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Now, when you hear six oh five freeway, don't you
instantly think of that jingle, the six five and you
know where Sal Street sALS Street? Man. I can't get
on that freeway without thinking of that jingle. I can't
do it.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
When firefighters got on scene here, they found multiple starts,
multiple fires in different areas of the dam Now now
where there's saying that the fire has merged into one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Okay, if there's multiple starts of a fire, that is
arson somebody out there. I don't know if it's a
homeless guy. I don't know, if it's a homed guy
fully homed. I don't know. I don't know anything about
the guy or gal. But somebody did this on purpose.
That's what this is telling me. When you have multiple starts.
Somebody did that on purpose.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
The problem with that is it has marched as its
way all the way across to the two Tent Freeway
and is right up against the two Tent Freeway right
now under the smoking. We really can't see it right now,
but there are some flames that reach the edge of
the two Tent Freeway thats the eastbound lanes there.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Angel Martinez, Is there any talk of shutting down the
six oh five or the two ten? You're hearing any chatter?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You know.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I just checked in with the highway patrol and so
far not at this moment, but that can always change,
especially if that smoke becomes more dense.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Sure, yeah, right on.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
They're concerned the fire will jump across the freeway, so
they're working really hard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I'm concerned too, you know, I think we all are
that that might happen.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
They're concerned the fire will jump across the freeway, so
they're working really hard to knock this down. They're also
talking about bringing in the super Scoopers to come in
and try to knock this.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh, the supers are bad, the super Scoopers, Super scoopers. Yeah,
thing dong with these.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
The super scoopers to come in and try to knock
this down. We haven't seen them yet, but we're anticipating
their arrival if that's going to happen. But in the meantime,
we have at least four or five water dropping helicopters
that are making drops on this fire. The good news
is a lot of water resources here. They have the lake,
the recreation center lake, as well as the reservoirs there
at the bottom of your screen where the helicopters are
(05:39):
coming in dipping and getting their water and then dropping
it on the fire real quick. So you see one
of the firefighters here from La County Fire helicopters knocking
down some of the.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yeah, at least six is that at least sized bodies
of water that they can pull water from.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh that's great, Yeah, fantastic. All right, they're going to
knock this out pretty quickly, hopefully. And you know what,
my favorite CarMax is out there in Dwarte. I hope
it doesn't go over to Carmacks and burn all their
cars down.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
It's in the same that's that Santa Fe Recreation the
damn recreation area, that's where they do the rent fair.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Hopefully area is still good to you know what else
is out there, Croze, I know you have some experience
with that, but Moon Nurseries out there, yeah, Moon Valley. Yeah,
Moon Valley's right on the other side of that six
o five freeway. All those beautiful trees out there. How
are your trees doing? From Moon Valley?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
We uh, the avocado tree that we got from them
a few months ago, it was it was really starting
to look dry and dead. And part of the service
from Moon Valley is that they come out like three
or four times in that first year they have it.
So we called them up and they came out and
the guy just told us, he said, put some shade
on it because it's his freaking heat, he says, avocado trees.
We were jem was afraid we were overwatering it maybe
(06:51):
and he says, no, you pretty much cannot overwater an
avocado tree.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Is that right, he says?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Is so like almost every like on the weekends, every
day we water it for like almost an hour just
to slow water the into the well.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And if he can come back dramatically, oh good, oh good?
And how many avocado trees do you have? Just got
the one avocado? Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
But we'll talking about getting another small one to kind of,
you know, spark it up and get some more fruit
on there.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
If they come out and they say this tree, there's
no hope for this tree, will they put it down
in front of you, like, oh sorry, we got to
put it down. They will.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yeah, we gotta know they'll bring another one out and
they'll put that one down, so they guarantee it absolutely.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
It's funny because it was a couple of weeks ago
when we had one of the guys come out and
check it out and tell us say, okay, this is what.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You need to do. Just water more. Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
They called me up a couple of weeks later, just
on Friday and say, hey, just check it in, making
sure it's good. If not, they'll come over. We'll take
it out and put a new one in. They're on it, man,
I don't even need to call them.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's great man. Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I like those guys.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Beautiful tree, like they said, and it's coming back strong.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We gotta get a photo of it. You got them
when I get home?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's cool?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
If you ever get home with this traffic in the
and the frigging fire, out there. All right, we're live
on CAFI. We are here in Burbank live on Labor Day,
twenty twenty four at seven o'clock. Mark Ronner and Tiffany
Hobbs in for Moe Kelly tonight seven to ten pm,

I don't know if this name means anything to you.
James Darren very good actor. I'm well known, well respected
(08:47):
in Hollywood, and he has passed away I think at
the age of eighty eight. Is that what they were saying?
And I didn't know this, that James Darren is the
father of Jim Murray. Yeah, I didn't know that. And
Jim Murray is a hugely popular host of Inside Edition.
(09:10):
Is the on Inside Edition? Is't that his program? I
think it is?
Speaker 10 (09:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, Oh, that's horrible. Anyway, we'll keep an eye on
the fire on the two ten and the six oh five.
We are are not ignoring that. We'll keep an eye
on that. But James Darren passed away. You may remember
him from a ton of movies, a really, really terrific act.
It's just not waiting for us. Sally Reeves has lived
in the Portuguese ben section of Rancho Palace Friday's for
(09:36):
over forty years, watching her home slowly. That's the wrong audio. Yeah,
we'll get it, though, we'll get it. Hold on, hold on,
wait a minute, let me put some boom in it,
all right. Anyway, while we grab that audio, we will
tell you that that fire continues on the six oh
five and the two ten freeway. And so far we
(09:57):
get Chris Christy flying over that sucker and also KTLA
as well.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I've met Jamestown a couple of times, right around the
two thousand or so when I was with the station,
when we were a fabulous five seventy, because I'm right,
we were doing rat packy type stuff. And he and
he's he had a great long recording career. In fact,
I think he even started when of like his first
one of his first movies. When he was in the
Gidget movies. He did a couple of the songs in that,
but he did a bunch of the sort of rat
(10:23):
pack type stuff, and he's sang well into the latter
stages of his life.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We had him on Bellio, don't you remember that? We
had him on? Yeah, he was. He was a terrific
guy and a very beautiful long life.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I mosto remember from TJ.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Hooker, Yes, TJ Hooker, Gidget. I also think he was
in the Guns of Navarro as well, if I don't
my memory, is that right? Yes? And Star Trek he
did some Star Treks as well.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
But was he was he in the Energizer commercials for
a while. Oh, I don't right, totally wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't think that was the same. With the battery
on his shoulder. I'll to look it up.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Let me look it up.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Try to knock this battery, right, Robert Conrad? Really yeah,
I don't know. Maybe maybe, maybe, maybe, I don't know,
Maybe he did a lesser known battery. We'll look up
battery commercials and see what he's all right. James Darren
at pass away eighty eight, eighty eight years old. What
(11:25):
a life man? You can get eighty eight. Hey you're styling.
We have some breaking news now.
Speaker 9 (11:31):

eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
According to the rit such thing as the next best
thing too low. What a voice this guy had? Huh
what a beautiful man?
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Such thing as the next best thing too low?

He was a teen idol back in the fifties and sixties.
According to Variety, Darren died today at Senior Sinai Hospital in.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
La at age eighty eight. Born in nineteen thirty six
and a long, beautiful life. And his kid is a
very popular host, Jim Murray. And you know you can
see Jim Ray every night on Inside Edition. And he
started with I Think Court TV, and you know a
(12:16):
lot of the Deborah Norvilles Inside Edition, cn CNN, Fox News,
Headline News. You saw him everywy Court TV. And he
is the son. Jim Urray is the son of James
Darren and James Darren's first wife, Gloria Helitsky. Ter Litsky,
I believe how you pronounced like man Mary for just
(12:38):
four short years, but they had Jim Murray, so that
is a cool deal. So James Darren passed away at
the age of eighty eight. We're keeping an eye on
the fire as well, the brush fire that's burning at
the six oh five and the two ten freeway, and
so were uh, we were not ignoring that fire. We'll
(13:00):
keep an eye on that until they snuff that sucker out,
all right. Labor Day delays. What's going on, a lot
of people traveling, it's going to be the today's the busy.
This weekend was the busiest Labor Day weekend in the
history of this country. There were never more people traveling
than this weekend on a Labor Day weekend than this year,
(13:22):
never ever.
Speaker 11 (13:23):
As people try to take advantage of the last days
of summer vacation, record numbers of travelers, causing lots of
extra traffic and delays on highways and at airports.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Our flight is delayed at love Field by like literally
two hours.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I've been in this uber for over an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We're just trying to go two miles away. Someone some help.
Oh my god. Traveling on a very busy holiday like
Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, it's a nightmare. It's an absolute nightmare.
Everybody's out for themselves, everybody's angry, everybody's at their wits end,
and it makes for a really tough vacation for.
Speaker 11 (13:59):
Those among the seventeen million flying. Severe weather in some
areas delayed the start of the weekend's travel, canceling hundreds
of flights in major hubs like New York and Chicago,
and passengers across the country seeing more than fifteen thousand
delays over the weekend alone.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Wow, fifteen thousand delays. Fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand delays. And
when you get bumped off of flight on a Labor
Day weekend, you might be there till Thursday or Friday
because all the flights are going to be full, and
for at least Tuesday Wednesday, you might have to wait
till Thursday or Friday. Come home.
Speaker 11 (14:34):
Strong storms also delaying the Penn State West Virginia football
game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Look at that, Look at it. Look at They're looking
at that light and.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
They're like ok.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
On.
Speaker 11 (14:47):
Meanwhile, while many travelers Labor Day plans were in full
swing on Sunday, more than ten thousand hotel workers nationwide
went on strike at Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott chains.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
For a small mom and pop chains, so nobody probably
is really affected.
Speaker 11 (15:04):
Went on strike at Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Chains Builton, Hyatt and Marriott.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
They're asking for better working conditions and pay.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
We're here to get a better benefits, a better.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Pension, and a better drummer, if you don't mind me observing.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
We're here to get a better benefits, better pension, so
I could retire hopefully soon.
Speaker 11 (15:28):
Some of the affected hotels plan to remain open, but
say some of their services may be affected by the strike.
There is a silver lining for those driving this weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh okay, what's the silver lining?
Speaker 11 (15:40):
Gas prices are down.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Okay, all right? By what a nickel?
Speaker 11 (15:44):
The average price for a gallon on Sunday was three
dollars and thirty three cents.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Where's that?
Speaker 11 (15:50):
Almost fifty cents less than last year.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Wow, that's a big deal. Fifty cents less.
Speaker 12 (15:56):
And if you're planning on driving home from your labor
day weekend plans today, the best time to do it
would be before ten.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Am, But if that ship is sailed.
Speaker 12 (16:05):
But if you're planning on hitting the road tomorrow, it's
actually best to hit the road after one pm.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh okay, all right. Well, you know what I hate
when people say it's a good time to leave because
it's always a bad time. Every time you get the
car and say, oh, they said it's a good time
to leave a ten and then there's nine hundred miles
of traffic. So those are just general tips. They don't
work at all. All right, we're live on KFI. Keep
an eye on that fire six oh five and the
two ten freeway out in Irwindale. We'll give you updates
(16:34):
all afternoon.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on Demyl from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
We're live here on Labor Day twenty twenty four. This
is not delayed, it's not replayed, it's not best of
We are here live. I don't know how to prove
that to you other than to give you. All right,
let's go to La Times website and I'll I'll tell
you what's on the front of the La Times website.
Strikes and protests. Then there's an ad for please buy
(17:07):
my paper. Strikes and protests, Royal a divided Israel. All right,
that's on the front page. Also, get to Know your Enemy,
How Hollywood workers are learning to use AI. Those are
two stories on the front of the La Times. I
could not guess those, so we are live, and we
have an update on this fire burning out there off
(17:29):
the two ten and the six to soh five in
where the two ten and the six oh five. It's
south of the two ten at least for now and
east of the six oh five, and that's where this
fire is burning and we are keeping an eye on
it for you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Good news right now is that La County Fire is
considering this the forwards progress stopped on this fire. As
I come out, you can see how it's changed here.
A lot less spoke, a lot less flames. The two
ten freeway, they're not so much covered in smoke. It
was causing some traffic issues. They are saying about forty acres.
They're holding it at forty acres at this point. It
(18:06):
has been since three point thirty that this fire started.
It was in light or medium to heavy fuels, i
should say, and they threw a lot of resources, especially
from the air. Five helicopters, water dropping helicopters on this scene,
and they were fortunate to have a lot of water
on scene. You can see the reservoirs there. There's still
four helicopters on scene. They're still making their rounds hitting
it from the air. But they have a lot of
(18:28):
resources on the ground. This is a two alarm fire,
so they brought in some extra resources, including a bulldozer.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Okay, so we're keep an eye on that fire. It
looks like they've got the upper hand on it, which
is fantastic. That is cool, all right. We had a
couple of big stories over the last week or so.
The Redlands couple searching for more remains discovered that was
a disturbing story at the that was at the newdest Colony.
(18:57):
I didn't know people were still doing that, but I
guess that's still going on. People just you know.
Speaker 13 (19:05):
Nude human remains were found in what authorities described as
a concrete bunker underneath the suspects home.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
What a weird guy, huh.
Speaker 13 (19:14):
Well, yesterday Redlands police continued their search and recovered additional remains.
Seventy three year old Stephanie Minard, her seventy nine year
old husband Daniel, and their dog Cuddles lived at all
of Dell Nudist Ranch. Their belongings, like their phones and purse,
were found inside their home, and their car was abandoned
down the road from their home. The Minard's next door neighbor,
(19:34):
sixty two year old Michael Royce Sparks was arrested on
suspicion of murder.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
That's the weird guy. That's the weird guy in the
nudist colony.
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Last Thursday, SWAT tore his home apart looking for him
and clues, and Thursday night police say they found Sparks
underneath his home and arrested him. A public information officer
for the City of Redlands says Sparks had a rifle
and tried to kill himself, but the weapon misfired, and
police say they have re and to believe the Minards
are dead. And I've been trying to search sparks home
(20:03):
for clues. The remains have.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Not been They tore that home up, they f that
home up looking for clues and you know, body parts
and you know other evidence.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
The remains have not been identified. The motive remains unclear,
and the community of course is heartbroken. They held a
vigil over the weekend to remember the Minards.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
It means a lot.
Speaker 14 (20:29):
To show that we have such as rock community here
in Richie Canyon and Redlands and Colton were in a valley.
It just means a lot because there's a lot of
times where in our community. As living in a new resort,
we feel very isolated because we do get judged. People
do assume things about our lifestyle and we're just people again.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Now, I think he's probably onto something. I think we all,
you know, judge the people who are at the Dude
is Colony and I don't know why in twenty twenty
four we're still judging them, but I think a lot
of people do. I don't, but I know a lot
of people do. I saw some photos of some of
the people out there, and they just look like they're
(21:14):
enjoying themselves. You know, they're like everyday normal neighbors that
you would have in your community, Studio City, Woodland Hills,
Hermosa Beach, you know, Seal Beach. But they're just you know,
they're nude all the time, and that's the only difference.
That's basically the only difference. So that's a big deal
(21:37):
out there, that really that story rocked, that nude is
colony and we heard.
Speaker 14 (21:42):
Just like everybody else and this is a time where
everybody's hurting.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, yeah, that's a bad story out there. One guy
was just really too crazy, you got too weird, too crazy,
and nobody dropped a dime on this guy. You know,
in the in the old days, a guy would be
that nutty, you would, you know, alert the cops or
tell somebody about it. And now that behavior has become
(22:10):
so normalized that we don't, you know, rat a guy
like that out. You know, you see it all the time.
It's not just a nenudist colony. It's not with just
people there in in that ranch. You see it every
day everywhere. Every day. You see crazy people on the
street every single day. They're in Burbank, they're in Woodland Hills,
they're in Silmar, Claremont, everywhere. There's just weird, nutty people
(22:35):
who have lost their minds. And this guy clearly was
one of them. He lost his mind. And I heard
through the grapevine that through a pretty good reporter who
I'm friends with. This this dispute started with these these
three people at the nudist colony where the couple who
(23:00):
presumably I guess has been killed, had a tree that
was right on the border, right on the on the
edge of the property line, and it was hanging over
the guy who eventually wiped these people out. It was
hanging on his side and he would trim it constantly
trim it, trying to get it off his property, and
they constantly had battles over that tree. Now here's the
(23:25):
here's where the eyebrows are raised. If you're going to
be really casual and walk around nude all day in
front of everybody, you would think a tree wouldn't set
you off. You know, you're a little more casual than
everybody else in life.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You would also think that a nudist would want more
tree because you're in an area that needs more shade.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Right, it's hotter than hell out there. You know. I
saw they were showing some other nudist colonies, because I
guess this is not an isolated case. I think there's
a lot of nude and newdest colonies out there, newdest
ranch and man, they showed some in the Midwest. They
showed this nudest ranch in the Midwest.
Speaker 15 (24:09):
And man, oh man, that that doesn't look like a
lot of people there look like they should be at
the snowsuit ranch, or at the down jacket ranch, or
at the hazmat suit ranch.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
But man, they they got they were big, big guys,
big goals on of big people out there just being nude.
That was their thing, though, you know, being naked, can't
get down them for that. Kind of a cool deal.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
We're live on KFI keeping an eye on that fire,
the six oh five and then two ten Freeway.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
We're live here on KFI on Labor Day, keeping an
eye on the fire. We've been talking about it all afternoon.
The two ten and the six oh five looks like
they kind of handle on it though, which is great,
But it's going to add to your commute. Very very
busy travel day here, the busiest Labor day travel day
(25:10):
in the history of this country in the history never
been more crowded than it is now.
Speaker 16 (25:18):
As expected at LAX seeing a large number of travelers today.
This is a live look at the departure level near
terminal one.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
This is Glenn Walker the one o'clocker with Glenn Walker
on Channel five.
Speaker 16 (25:29):
People are heading back from their Labor Day getaways, capping
off a record setting summer. TSA predicts more than seventeen
million passengers will travel between last Thursday and Wednesday of
this week. All ten of the busiest travel days of
the year occurred earlier this summer. Since Memorial Day, TSA
has screen nearly two hundred and forty million passengers.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Wait what Since.
Speaker 16 (25:53):
Memorial Day TSA has screen nearly two hundred and forty
million passengers.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Wow, man, oh man, something had to have gotten by
these guys two hundred and forty million people in one summer.
There has to have been something that snaked by, squeaked by.
I saw a guy at Burbank Airport, this is years
and years and years ago, walked through Burbank Airport and
(26:24):
he didn't realize he didn't have one or two. He
had three guns in his backpack, and he said he
was unaware that all three of them were in there.
I understand one. You know, he got a backpack that
you use. Maybe it took it to the range. Maybe
you got a you know, permit to carry. I understand one. Two,
(26:45):
not really three, No, I don't understand three. I understand
how you get on a plane and try to get
three guns past TSA. Somebody called us and told us
this story. I've not been able to confirm it. The
guy sounded legitimate, so I'll tell it, and I think
it's true. But he was one of these federal officers,
(27:08):
and his job was to take prisoners across state line.
He'd fly to Minneapolis, pick up a prisoner and take
them to Chicago, or take them to Cleveland or Miami
or whatever, drop them off, and then fly back to
Los Angeles. And these guys who travel and transport prisoners
from one state to another, they all have guns with
(27:29):
them for obvious reasons. So they're federal agents. They carry guns,
and they travel and they have the permits to carry
those guns with them, and when they do that. Is
this fire on Channel live? On Channel eleven live? Is this?
Where is this thing here? Let's turn on Channel eleven
on Calvin Avenue. It looks like we've got another fire
(27:53):
going here and.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Appears to be in the yard as well. This is
a house in the receipting for the home next to
it as well, I should think, and those surrounding it
in the back as well. I'm not sure what caused
this fire. Hard to tell from this view how firefighters
are tackling this fire.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
The guy with a garden on the.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Ground with a hose trying to do what he can
to keep the trees and the vegetation there from catching
fire right from his backyard. We'll keep a watch on
this one. As you see, fire crews are there trying
to battle a house fire here in Roscita.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Mean, okay, all the guy standing on the roof, yeah,
I would look at him first to see how that
fire started.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
He was surveying his work.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
He was, he was he had black shorts on, no shirt,
and he was crouched down with a camera, it looked like,
and all the smoke was blowing right into his face.
I would ask that guy immediately, you know, where he
was twenty minutes ago when this thing started. Anyway, So
that fire is burning on Calvin in Recipa. We'll have
an update on that one as well. Anyway, real quickly,
(29:01):
back to the Berrank Airport. So this federal officer who
transports prisoners is getting on a plane and he shows
him his permit, his license, his badge, his papers, all
of them to confirm that he is legitimately a an
air marshal. And he's and he's you know, dragging prisoners
around the country. And so they pull him aside and
(29:22):
they they you know, talked for ten or fifteen minutes.
They look him up on a database, they find out
he's legitimate. They give him his gun back, they give
him his clips back, they give him his ammunition back,
they give him his handcuffs. Everything goes back in his bag,
and then he puts his backpack through the metal detector
and the X ray machine and they stop him again
(29:43):
and they go excuse me circuarly, and he goes, yeah,
I just went through, you know, twenty minutes of interrogation here,
and they said, yeah, I no, you can keep the
gun and all the ammunition, but your toothpaste is over
three ounces. Oh, come on, And they took his toothpaste
from him. They gave him back his block and forty
(30:05):
rounds of ammunition, and they took his toothpaste. Isn't that crazy?
Is that crazy? Stephush? Have you heard a crazier story?
And then not that I can think of? Yeah, right,
you're run on top of it, bub But that is
a just a crazy, crazy story. I couldn't believe it.
Super it was super crazy, Stephus. You would consider it
(30:26):
super crazy, right? Ultimately crazy? Yeah, like it's crazy as
if you ever heard you've never heard a crazier story.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
No, just crazier high speed chases. But okay, nothing crazier
than that story.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
But I heard last week you got pissed at the
traffic you had to go through that near Dodger's State.
Is that true story?
Speaker 16 (30:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And guess who was the culprit show? Hey a Tani
again you go it, Washo Tani bobblehead now your nemesis.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
Yeah, lying going down all the way down the block
and it slowed down traffic.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Kiki to too.
Speaker 10 (30:59):
We all had issue spec once you get through it
one ten, you're there's no escape again.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
And there was there were people waiting seven hours to
get into Dodger Stadium to get a Showeyotani Bobblehead.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
They were saying some people were there at like seven am. Yeah,
waiting all damn like and this is.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
This I believe this was the second show Heotani Bobblehead
night of the year. And if you got the first
one and you coupled it with the second one, that
it could be worth three four five hundred dollars on eBay.
And that's yeah, that's what people are selling it for.
And a lot of those purchases were made in Japan.
You know, they don't have the you know, they're not
(31:34):
here to collect those bibbleheads, but they love showe Aotani
is one of the biggest things ever in Japan. And
and so you can collect those bobblehead dolls, put them
up on eBay and people will buy them for six
seven to eight hundred bucks. Ste's like the move back.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Otani is Otani is his newman.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah, every time he gets screwed around Dodger Stadium, it's
always show Heyotani always there. You think you take that? Personally?
Stephus said, he's after you. It almost feels like, yeah, right,
it does. I think I think it does. I think
I think you. I think you're onto something there, Like
it's one thing I get.
Speaker 10 (32:13):
That's right. They have all the bubble head over there.
That's San Diego and they're in a convention center.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
They're not taking up the street. I'll get it, buddy.
I am on your side, buddy. All right. We're live.
Keep an eye on two fires one to Reseda, one
on the six oh five and then two ten. We'll
have updates on both before we get out of here.
At seven o'clock, when Mark Ronner and Tiffany Hobbs takeover
for Moe Kelly. We're live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeart Radio app. Now,
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's k IF I am six and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are live live live on Labor Day. We all
decided to come in. Everybody on the show. Everybody decided
to come in, which is pretty rare. All Right, we
have an update on this fire from Chris Christy, a
buddy of mine I consider a body. I've had lunch
with this maam. I noticed that he didn't eat any meat.
(00:30):
I don't know, and I and it was my first
lunch with him, so I didn't want to bang on
him and ask him if he was a vegan. But
he had like a vegetable burger and I'm like, uh,
that's kind of on. So I had vegetable. Yeah, I
didn't want to. I didn't want to hit him. So
I don't know. Maybe meal two, he you know, bangs
out of rack of ribs or steak or something. But
(00:55):
he's a cool guy. Cool dude, got quite a life.
He's got a great wife, he's got a kid, he's
got a going on, and he's over this brush fire.
So let's find out what's going on with this fire.
Out the two ten and the six five, The two
ten and the six to five.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Over Irwindale, right near the two ten freeway, where this
ten acre fire has now exploded to forty acres according
to La County Fire. You can see a body of
flames right there next to some railroad tracks, strike teams
on the ground there, and repeated air drops taking place
water drops taking place from the air. As this fire
continues to creep closer to the two ten freeway already
(01:31):
you can see how the smoke is affecting both sides
of the two ten freeway. There is that Chinook helicopter
which is doing a bulk of the work here, continuing
those three thousand ton water drops. And right next to
this fire.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well that's a lot of water, is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Three thousand tons continuing those three thousand ton.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Seems like a lot. Three thousand tons would be six
hundred thousand pounds water drops, I think been I think
he meant three thousand gallons.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Continuing those three thousand ton water drops. And right next
to this fire is a quarry with a pretty deep
pit that they are trying at all cost to keep
that fire out of. That would present major obstacles in
fighting this fire. If that fire starts to explode inside
of that pit right there on the right hand side
of your screen. Right now, temperatures and that ten plus
(02:28):
mile per hour wind is really not helping the situation
as we continue to keep an eye.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And they got to beat this fired today. It's going
to get hot tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday and Friday, it's
gonna be hotter than hell on this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Brush fire here at or putting live from Air seven.
I'm Chris Christy, ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I would snooze the chinook. Hella tanker can is able
to drop three thousand gallons of water wow or retardant
day or night, and can refill the tanks in under
ninety seconds. So yes, three thousand gallons.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, but you know who, I'd keep an eye on
the guy refilling it. You don't want a disgruntled guy
filling up one of those Chinnock helicopters with like gasoline,
you know, So he drops like three thousand gallons of
gas on the fire, Like, ah, well, who did that?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Dale?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He's always screwing around, Dan, He's always joking. He's always
joking back to the station. He's the guy joking. Yeah,
he's the guy that painted the Dalmatian so he had
no spots painted all white. Yeah, the same guy, same guy. Yeah,
I gotta watch that guy. Gotta keepn eye on that dude.
All right, another update on this fire.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
You're looking at one of the hotspots here. I'll come
out to a wider shot to show you. This all
happening inside the Santa Fe Damn area here off of
the two ten and the six oh five Freeway, started
about three thirty this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Now, when you hear six oh five freeway, don't you
instantly think of that jingle, the six five and you
know where Sal Street sALS Street? Man. I can't get
on that freeway without thinking of that jingle. I can't
do it.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
When firefighters got on scene here, they found multiple starts,
multiple fires in different areas of the dam Now now
where there's saying that the fire has merged into one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Okay, if there's multiple starts of a fire, that is
arson somebody out there. I don't know if it's a
homeless guy. I don't know, if it's a homed guy
fully homed. I don't know. I don't know anything about
the guy or gal. But somebody did this on purpose.
That's what this is telling me. When you have multiple starts.
Somebody did that on purpose.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
The problem with that is it has marched as its
way all the way across to the two Tent Freeway
and is right up against the two Tent Freeway right
now under the smoking. We really can't see it right now,
but there are some flames that reach the edge of
the two Tent Freeway thats the eastbound lanes there.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Angel Martinez, Is there any talk of shutting down the
six oh five or the two ten? You're hearing any chatter?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You know.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I just checked in with the highway patrol and so
far not at this moment, but that can always change,
especially if that smoke becomes more dense.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Sure, yeah, right on.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
They're concerned the fire will jump across the freeway, so
they're working really hard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I'm concerned too, you know, I think we all are
that that might happen.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
They're concerned the fire will jump across the freeway, so
they're working really hard to knock this down. They're also
talking about bringing in the super Scoopers to come in
and try to knock this.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh, the supers are bad, the super Scoopers, Super scoopers. Yeah,
thing dong with these.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
The super scoopers to come in and try to knock
this down. We haven't seen them yet, but we're anticipating
their arrival if that's going to happen. But in the meantime,
we have at least four or five water dropping helicopters
that are making drops on this fire. The good news
is a lot of water resources here. They have the lake,
the recreation center lake, as well as the reservoirs there
at the bottom of your screen where the helicopters are
(05:39):
coming in dipping and getting their water and then dropping
it on the fire real quick. So you see one
of the firefighters here from La County Fire helicopters knocking
down some of the.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yeah, at least six is that at least sized bodies
of water that they can pull water from.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh that's great, Yeah, fantastic. All right, they're going to
knock this out pretty quickly, hopefully. And you know what,
my favorite CarMax is out there in Dwarte. I hope
it doesn't go over to Carmacks and burn all their
cars down.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
It's in the same that's that Santa Fe Recreation the
damn recreation area, that's where they do the rent fair.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Hopefully area is still good to you know what else
is out there, Croze, I know you have some experience
with that, but Moon Nurseries out there, yeah, Moon Valley. Yeah,
Moon Valley's right on the other side of that six
o five freeway. All those beautiful trees out there. How
are your trees doing? From Moon Valley?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
We uh, the avocado tree that we got from them
a few months ago, it was it was really starting
to look dry and dead. And part of the service
from Moon Valley is that they come out like three
or four times in that first year they have it.
So we called them up and they came out and
the guy just told us, he said, put some shade
on it because it's his freaking heat, he says, avocado trees.
We were jem was afraid we were overwatering it maybe
(06:51):
and he says, no, you pretty much cannot overwater an
avocado tree.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Is that right, he says?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Is so like almost every like on the weekends, every
day we water it for like almost an hour just
to slow water the into the well.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And if he can come back dramatically, oh good, oh good?
And how many avocado trees do you have? Just got
the one avocado? Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
But we'll talking about getting another small one to kind of,
you know, spark it up and get some more fruit
on there.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
If they come out and they say this tree, there's
no hope for this tree, will they put it down
in front of you, like, oh sorry, we got to
put it down. They will.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yeah, we gotta know they'll bring another one out and
they'll put that one down, so they guarantee it absolutely.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
It's funny because it was a couple of weeks ago
when we had one of the guys come out and
check it out and tell us say, okay, this is what.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You need to do. Just water more. Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
They called me up a couple of weeks later, just
on Friday and say, hey, just check it in, making
sure it's good. If not, they'll come over. We'll take
it out and put a new one in. They're on it, man,
I don't even need to call them.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's great man. Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I like those guys.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Beautiful tree, like they said, and it's coming back strong.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We gotta get a photo of it. You got them
when I get home?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's cool?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
If you ever get home with this traffic in the
and the frigging fire, out there. All right, we're live
on CAFI. We are here in Burbank live on Labor Day,
twenty twenty four at seven o'clock. Mark Ronner and Tiffany
Hobbs in for Moe Kelly tonight seven to ten pm,

James Darren very good actor. I'm well known, well respected
(08:47):
in Hollywood, and he has passed away I think at
the age of eighty eight. Is that what they were saying?
And I didn't know this, that James Darren is the
father of Jim Murray. Yeah, I didn't know that. And
Jim Murray is a hugely popular host of Inside Edition.
(09:10):
Is the on Inside Edition? Is't that his program? I
think it is?
Speaker 10 (09:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, Oh, that's horrible. Anyway, we'll keep an eye on
the fire on the two ten and the six oh five.
We are are not ignoring that. We'll keep an eye
on that. But James Darren passed away. You may remember
him from a ton of movies, a really, really terrific act.
It's just not waiting for us. Sally Reeves has lived
in the Portuguese ben section of Rancho Palace Friday's for
(09:36):
over forty years, watching her home slowly. That's the wrong audio. Yeah,
we'll get it, though, we'll get it. Hold on, hold on,
wait a minute, let me put some boom in it,
all right. Anyway, while we grab that audio, we will
tell you that that fire continues on the six oh
five and the two ten freeway. And so far we
(09:57):
get Chris Christy flying over that sucker and also KTLA
as well.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I've met Jamestown a couple of times, right around the
two thousand or so when I was with the station,
when we were a fabulous five seventy, because I'm right,
we were doing rat packy type stuff. And he and
he's he had a great long recording career. In fact,
I think he even started when of like his first
one of his first movies. When he was in the
Gidget movies. He did a couple of the songs in that,
but he did a bunch of the sort of rat
(10:23):
pack type stuff, and he's sang well into the latter
stages of his life.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We had him on Bellio, don't you remember that? We
had him on? Yeah, he was. He was a terrific
guy and a very beautiful long life.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I mosto remember from TJ.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Hooker, Yes, TJ Hooker, Gidget. I also think he was
in the Guns of Navarro as well, if I don't
my memory, is that right? Yes? And Star Trek he
did some Star Treks as well.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
But was he was he in the Energizer commercials for
a while. Oh, I don't right, totally wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't think that was the same. With the battery
on his shoulder. I'll to look it up.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Let me look it up.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Try to knock this battery, right, Robert Conrad? Really yeah,
I don't know. Maybe maybe, maybe, maybe, I don't know,
Maybe he did a lesser known battery. We'll look up
battery commercials and see what he's all right. James Darren

(11:25):
a life man? You can get eighty eight. Hey you're styling.

keep an eye on that until they snuff that sucker out,
all right. Labor Day delays. What's going on, a lot
of people traveling, it's going to be the today's the busy.
This weekend was the busiest Labor Day weekend in the
history of this country. There were never more people traveling
than this weekend on a Labor Day weekend than this year,
(13:22):
never ever.
Speaker 11 (13:23):
As people try to take advantage of the last days
of summer vacation, record numbers of travelers, causing lots of
extra traffic and delays on highways and at airports.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Our flight is delayed at love Field by like literally
two hours.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I've been in this uber for over an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We're just trying to go two miles away. Someone some help.
Oh my god. Traveling on a very busy holiday like
Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, it's a nightmare. It's an absolute nightmare.
Everybody's out for themselves, everybody's angry, everybody's at their wits end,
and it makes for a really tough vacation for.
Speaker 11 (13:59):
Those among the seventeen million flying. Severe weather in some
areas delayed the start of the weekend's travel, canceling hundreds
of flights in major hubs like New York and Chicago,
and passengers across the country seeing more than fifteen thousand
delays over the weekend alone.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Wow, fifteen thousand delays. Fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand delays. And
when you get bumped off of flight on a Labor
Day weekend, you might be there till Thursday or Friday
because all the flights are going to be full, and
for at least Tuesday Wednesday, you might have to wait

Speaker 11 (14:34):
Strong storms also delaying the Penn State West Virginia football
game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Look at that, Look at it. Look at They're looking
at that light and.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
They're like ok.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
On.
Speaker 11 (14:47):
Meanwhile, while many travelers Labor Day plans were in full
swing on Sunday, more than ten thousand hotel workers nationwide
went on strike at Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott chains.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
For a small mom and pop chains, so nobody probably
is really affected.
Speaker 11 (15:04):
Went on strike at Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Chains Builton, Hyatt and Marriott.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
They're asking for better working conditions and pay.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
We're here to get a better benefits, a better.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Pension, and a better drummer, if you don't mind me observing.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
We're here to get a better benefits, better pension, so
I could retire hopefully soon.
Speaker 11 (15:28):
Some of the affected hotels plan to remain open, but
say some of their services may be affected by the strike.
There is a silver lining for those driving this weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh okay, what's the silver lining?
Speaker 11 (15:40):
Gas prices are down.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Okay, all right? By what a nickel?
Speaker 11 (15:44):
The average price for a gallon on Sunday was three
dollars and thirty three cents.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Where's that?
Speaker 11 (15:50):
Almost fifty cents less than last year.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Wow, that's a big deal. Fifty cents less.
Speaker 12 (15:56):
And if you're planning on driving home from your labor
day weekend plans today, the best time to do it
would be before ten.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Am, But if that ship is sailed.
Speaker 12 (16:05):
But if you're planning on hitting the road tomorrow, it's
actually best to hit the road after one pm.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh okay, all right. Well, you know what I hate
when people say it's a good time to leave because
it's always a bad time. Every time you get the
car and say, oh, they said it's a good time
to leave a ten and then there's nine hundred miles
of traffic. So those are just general tips. They don't
work at all. All right, we're live on KFI. Keep
an eye on that fire six oh five and the
two ten freeway out in Irwindale. We'll give you updates
(16:34):
all afternoon.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on Demyl from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
We're live here on Labor Day twenty twenty four. This
is not delayed, it's not replayed, it's not best of
We are here live. I don't know how to prove
that to you other than to give you. All right,
let's go to La Times website and I'll I'll tell
you what's on the front of the La Times website.
Strikes and protests. Then there's an ad for please buy
(17:07):
my paper. Strikes and protests, Royal a divided Israel. All right,
that's on the front page. Also, get to Know your Enemy,
How Hollywood workers are learning to use AI. Those are
two stories on the front of the La Times. I
could not guess those, so we are live, and we
have an update on this fire burning out there off
(17:29):
the two ten and the six to soh five in
where the two ten and the six oh five. It's
south of the two ten at least for now and
east of the six oh five, and that's where this
fire is burning and we are keeping an eye on
it for you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Good news right now is that La County Fire is
considering this the forwards progress stopped on this fire. As
I come out, you can see how it's changed here.
A lot less spoke, a lot less flames. The two
ten freeway, they're not so much covered in smoke. It
was causing some traffic issues. They are saying about forty acres.
They're holding it at forty acres at this point. It
(18:06):
has been since three point thirty that this fire started.
It was in light or medium to heavy fuels, i
should say, and they threw a lot of resources, especially
from the air. Five helicopters, water dropping helicopters on this scene,
and they were fortunate to have a lot of water
on scene. You can see the reservoirs there. There's still
four helicopters on scene. They're still making their rounds hitting
it from the air. But they have a lot of
(18:28):
resources on the ground. This is a two alarm fire,
so they brought in some extra resources, including a bulldozer.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Okay, so we're keep an eye on that fire. It
looks like they've got the upper hand on it, which
is fantastic. That is cool, all right. We had a
couple of big stories over the last week or so.
The Redlands couple searching for more remains discovered that was
a disturbing story at the that was at the newdest Colony.
(18:57):
I didn't know people were still doing that, but I
guess that's still going on. People just you know.
Speaker 13 (19:05):
Nude human remains were found in what authorities described as
a concrete bunker underneath the suspects home.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
What a weird guy, huh.
Speaker 13 (19:14):
Well, yesterday Redlands police continued their search and recovered additional remains.
Seventy three year old Stephanie Minard, her seventy nine year
old husband Daniel, and their dog Cuddles lived at all
of Dell Nudist Ranch. Their belongings, like their phones and purse,
were found inside their home, and their car was abandoned
down the road from their home. The Minard's next door neighbor,
(19:34):
sixty two year old Michael Royce Sparks was arrested on
suspicion of murder.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
That's the weird guy. That's the weird guy in the
nudist colony.
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Last Thursday, SWAT tore his home apart looking for him
and clues, and Thursday night police say they found Sparks
underneath his home and arrested him. A public information officer
for the City of Redlands says Sparks had a rifle
and tried to kill himself, but the weapon misfired, and
police say they have re and to believe the Minards
are dead. And I've been trying to search sparks home
(20:03):
for clues. The remains have.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Not been They tore that home up, they f that
home up looking for clues and you know, body parts
and you know other evidence.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
The remains have not been identified. The motive remains unclear,
and the community of course is heartbroken. They held a
vigil over the weekend to remember the Minards.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
It means a lot.
Speaker 14 (20:29):
To show that we have such as rock community here
in Richie Canyon and Redlands and Colton were in a valley.
It just means a lot because there's a lot of
times where in our community. As living in a new resort,
we feel very isolated because we do get judged. People
do assume things about our lifestyle and we're just people again.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Now, I think he's probably onto something. I think we all,
you know, judge the people who are at the Dude
is Colony and I don't know why in twenty twenty
four we're still judging them, but I think a lot
of people do. I don't, but I know a lot
of people do. I saw some photos of some of
the people out there, and they just look like they're
(21:14):
enjoying themselves. You know, they're like everyday normal neighbors that
you would have in your community, Studio City, Woodland Hills,
Hermosa Beach, you know, Seal Beach. But they're just you know,
they're nude all the time, and that's the only difference.
That's basically the only difference. So that's a big deal
(21:37):
out there, that really that story rocked, that nude is
colony and we heard.
Speaker 14 (21:42):
Just like everybody else and this is a time where
everybody's hurting.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, yeah, that's a bad story out there. One guy
was just really too crazy, you got too weird, too crazy,
and nobody dropped a dime on this guy. You know,
in the in the old days, a guy would be
that nutty, you would, you know, alert the cops or
tell somebody about it. And now that behavior has become
(22:10):
so normalized that we don't, you know, rat a guy
like that out. You know, you see it all the time.
It's not just a nenudist colony. It's not with just
people there in in that ranch. You see it every
day everywhere. Every day. You see crazy people on the
street every single day. They're in Burbank, they're in Woodland Hills,
they're in Silmar, Claremont, everywhere. There's just weird, nutty people
(22:35):
who have lost their minds. And this guy clearly was
one of them. He lost his mind. And I heard
through the grapevine that through a pretty good reporter who
I'm friends with. This this dispute started with these these
three people at the nudist colony where the couple who
(23:00):
presumably I guess has been killed, had a tree that
was right on the border, right on the on the
edge of the property line, and it was hanging over
the guy who eventually wiped these people out. It was
hanging on his side and he would trim it constantly
trim it, trying to get it off his property, and
they constantly had battles over that tree. Now here's the
(23:25):
here's where the eyebrows are raised. If you're going to
be really casual and walk around nude all day in
front of everybody, you would think a tree wouldn't set
you off. You know, you're a little more casual than
everybody else in life.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You would also think that a nudist would want more
tree because you're in an area that needs more shade.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Right, it's hotter than hell out there. You know. I
saw they were showing some other nudist colonies, because I
guess this is not an isolated case. I think there's
a lot of nude and newdest colonies out there, newdest
ranch and man, they showed some in the Midwest. They
showed this nudest ranch in the Midwest.
Speaker 15 (24:09):
And man, oh man, that that doesn't look like a
lot of people there look like they should be at
the snowsuit ranch, or at the down jacket ranch, or
at the hazmat suit ranch.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
But man, they they got they were big, big guys,
big goals on of big people out there just being nude.
That was their thing, though, you know, being naked, can't
get down them for that. Kind of a cool deal.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
We're live on KFI keeping an eye on that fire,
the six oh five and then two ten Freeway.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
We're live here on KFI on Labor Day, keeping an
eye on the fire. We've been talking about it all afternoon.
The two ten and the six oh five looks like
they kind of handle on it though, which is great,
But it's going to add to your commute. Very very
busy travel day here, the busiest Labor day travel day
(25:10):
in the history of this country in the history never
been more crowded than it is now.
Speaker 16 (25:18):
As expected at LAX seeing a large number of travelers today.
This is a live look at the departure level near
terminal one.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
This is Glenn Walker the one o'clocker with Glenn Walker
on Channel five.
Speaker 16 (25:29):
People are heading back from their Labor Day getaways, capping
off a record setting summer. TSA predicts more than seventeen
million passengers will travel between last Thursday and Wednesday of
this week. All ten of the busiest travel days of
the year occurred earlier this summer. Since Memorial Day, TSA
has screen nearly two hundred and forty million passengers.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Wait what Since.
Speaker 16 (25:53):
Memorial Day TSA has screen nearly two hundred and forty
million passengers.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Wow, man, oh man, something had to have gotten by
these guys two hundred and forty million people in one summer.
There has to have been something that snaked by, squeaked by.
I saw a guy at Burbank Airport, this is years
and years and years ago, walked through Burbank Airport and
(26:24):
he didn't realize he didn't have one or two. He
had three guns in his backpack, and he said he
was unaware that all three of them were in there.
I understand one. You know, he got a backpack that
you use. Maybe it took it to the range. Maybe
you got a you know, permit to carry. I understand one. Two,
(26:45):
not really three, No, I don't understand three. I understand
how you get on a plane and try to get
three guns past TSA. Somebody called us and told us
this story. I've not been able to confirm it. The
guy sounded legitimate, so I'll tell it, and I think
it's true. But he was one of these federal officers,
(27:08):
and his job was to take prisoners across state line.
He'd fly to Minneapolis, pick up a prisoner and take
them to Chicago, or take them to Cleveland or Miami
or whatever, drop them off, and then fly back to
Los Angeles. And these guys who travel and transport prisoners
from one state to another, they all have guns with
(27:29):
them for obvious reasons. So they're federal agents. They carry guns,
and they travel and they have the permits to carry
those guns with them, and when they do that. Is
this fire on Channel live? On Channel eleven live? Is this?
Where is this thing here? Let's turn on Channel eleven
on Calvin Avenue. It looks like we've got another fire
(27:53):
going here and.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Appears to be in the yard as well. This is
a house in the receipting for the home next to
it as well, I should think, and those surrounding it
in the back as well. I'm not sure what caused
this fire. Hard to tell from this view how firefighters
are tackling this fire.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
The guy with a garden on the.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Ground with a hose trying to do what he can
to keep the trees and the vegetation there from catching
fire right from his backyard. We'll keep a watch on
this one. As you see, fire crews are there trying
to battle a house fire here in Roscita.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Mean, okay, all the guy standing on the roof, yeah,
I would look at him first to see how that
fire started.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
He was surveying his work.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
He was, he was he had black shorts on, no shirt,
and he was crouched down with a camera, it looked like,
and all the smoke was blowing right into his face.
I would ask that guy immediately, you know, where he
was twenty minutes ago when this thing started. Anyway, So
that fire is burning on Calvin in Recipa. We'll have
an update on that one as well. Anyway, real quickly,
(29:01):
back to the Berrank Airport. So this federal officer who
transports prisoners is getting on a plane and he shows
him his permit, his license, his badge, his papers, all
of them to confirm that he is legitimately a an
air marshal. And he's and he's you know, dragging prisoners
around the country. And so they pull him aside and
(29:22):
they they you know, talked for ten or fifteen minutes.
They look him up on a database, they find out
he's legitimate. They give him his gun back, they give
him his clips back, they give him his ammunition back,
they give him his handcuffs. Everything goes back in his bag,
and then he puts his backpack through the metal detector
and the X ray machine and they stop him again
(29:43):
and they go excuse me circuarly, and he goes, yeah,
I just went through, you know, twenty minutes of interrogation here,
and they said, yeah, I no, you can keep the
gun and all the ammunition, but your toothpaste is over
three ounces. Oh, come on, And they took his toothpaste
from him. They gave him back his block and forty
(30:05):
rounds of ammunition, and they took his toothpaste. Isn't that crazy?
Is that crazy? Stephush? Have you heard a crazier story?
And then not that I can think of? Yeah, right,
you're run on top of it, bub But that is
a just a crazy, crazy story. I couldn't believe it.
Super it was super crazy, Stephus. You would consider it
(30:26):
super crazy, right? Ultimately crazy? Yeah, like it's crazy as
if you ever heard you've never heard a crazier story.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
No, just crazier high speed chases. But okay, nothing crazier
than that story.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
But I heard last week you got pissed at the
traffic you had to go through that near Dodger's State.
Is that true story?
Speaker 16 (30:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And guess who was the culprit show? Hey a Tani
again you go it, Washo Tani bobblehead now your nemesis.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
Yeah, lying going down all the way down the block
and it slowed down traffic.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Kiki to too.
Speaker 10 (30:59):
We all had issue spec once you get through it
one ten, you're there's no escape again.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
And there was there were people waiting seven hours to
get into Dodger Stadium to get a Showeyotani Bobblehead.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
They were saying some people were there at like seven am. Yeah,
waiting all damn like and this is.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
This I believe this was the second show Heotani Bobblehead
night of the year. And if you got the first
one and you coupled it with the second one, that
it could be worth three four five hundred dollars on eBay.
And that's yeah, that's what people are selling it for.
And a lot of those purchases were made in Japan.
You know, they don't have the you know, they're not
(31:34):
here to collect those bibbleheads, but they love showe Aotani
is one of the biggest things ever in Japan. And
and so you can collect those bobblehead dolls, put them
up on eBay and people will buy them for six
seven to eight hundred bucks. Ste's like the move back.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Otani is Otani is his newman.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah, every time he gets screwed around Dodger Stadium, it's
always show Heyotani always there. You think you take that? Personally?
Stephus said, he's after you. It almost feels like, yeah, right,
it does. I think I think it does. I think
I think you. I think you're onto something there, Like
it's one thing I get.
Speaker 10 (32:13):
That's right. They have all the bubble head over there.
That's San Diego and they're in a convention center.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
They're not taking up the street. I'll get it, buddy.
I am on your side, buddy. All right. We're live.
Keep an eye on two fires one to Reseda, one
on the six oh five and then two ten. We'll
have updates on both before we get out of here.
