Mike Briss Yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Right, Alex Stone is with its Alex. How you, Bob Long?
How are you, buddy? I know you're a big baseball fan.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Are you a Dodger fan?
Speaker 8 (01:58):
Uh? No, no, what are you? I grew up an
A's fan.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
When I went to school in Colorado became a Rockies fan.
Nobody ever says that someday it'll be October again. It
was like two thousand and nine, someday it'll be again.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Belly's from Denver. She's a big Rockies fan. I didn't
know that.
Speaker 8 (02:16):
That's why I like Sharon.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, she used to hang out on the rock wall
or is that what they call it? What's that name
of it out there? What is that bellio? That roll
rock pile? It's the worst seats at Corsfield.
Speaker 8 (02:29):
Yeah, of course field is sure nice though, but Ax,
she wasn't just a fan.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
She worked for the Rockies.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So she worked for in baseball or in some capacity radio? Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
She had a press pass to go anywhere the editors
out there?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Where did you ka? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (02:45):
I worked at K big and fifty fifty thousand, blow
Torch of.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The Rockies ripped.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You know those radio idiots when they get into call
signs and dumbers, and they know the old the old slogans,
the big stick.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
All right, So what's going on? You're losing your team? Huh.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
Yeah, this is a sad day in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Did you see it coming? Did you see it coming?
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Well, I mean it's been coming for years. But I
mean they had fought hard to keep the team in Oakland.
There were five different I think deals that fell through.
One they were going to try to move down to
Santa Clara, but then the Giants said no, kind of
like media markets that they've got their jurisdiction of where
their fan base is. And the Giant said, that's ours.
(03:28):
You know, forty nine ers are down there, and they
said the A's aren't going to go there. They tried
for the water front and that fell through for a
number of reasons. So today was hit and they at
least they won today three to two over the over
the Rangers. But today they sold out the stadium for
the first time in a long time. But they've lost
the Warriors. The Raiders now the last pro.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Team to go and in and out Denny's.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Yeah, they did lose it in and out right right
down the street because of the crime and in that area.
But no, there is a lot of emotion. The tailgates
today is folks were saying goodbye to it. This guy
you can hear with his music bumping, is he's tailgating
and making brought worst on the grill that he breaks
up and takes a moment to get through it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I mean, I've been coming here.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I'm sure you hear this from a lot of people,
you know, with their fathers, their grandfathers, and it's tough.
Speaker 8 (04:19):
And that's the thing. So many generations I know I did.
We would go every Friday night living in Santa Rosa.
We'd go down to Oakland every Friday night, stay over
and then go to the Friday night game in the
Saturday day game. And a lot of people did that
fifty seven years.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But why did they? Why did people stop going?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Well, this is the thing. So the the argument from
fans is that the owner, John Fisher, that he pulled
a major league without Willie Mays Hayes involved, that he
wanted to make this move so to make it happen,
he had the lowest payroll in baseball, so that they
would lose fifty two million dollar payroll for the past
three seasons, that is not enough to winning team. And
(04:58):
then because of that, and because the word they were
gonna move, the fans stopped coming. They had fewer than
eleven thousand per game this season, lowest in baseball, and
so now they're gonna move. But the part of this is, well,
first of all, fans are still hoping that there's a
night in Shining Armor. Who's gonna come trotting up with
a couple of billion dollars and buy this thing and
and stop this from going on. But they're gonna go
(05:19):
to Sacramento for probably years, playing in the Rivercats Stadium,
a small minor league stadium, which is gonna be weird
when the Yankees come to town and they're playing in this, like,
you know, minor league, little league stadium essentially. And so
they're gonna be playing in West sac for however long
it takes. Vegas is the plan. But they have not
(05:39):
imploded the Tropicana yet. Yeah, they're gonna they think they're
gonna implode it here in the next week two weeks,
but they haven't even started building the stadium there. There's
still a lot of iffy aspects onto that stadium. So
if that's gonna end up being where they really go.
But they're in this interim area. They're not going to
be the Sacramento As, they won't be the Oakland A's,
they're not gonna be the Vegas As yet. They say
(06:01):
they're just going to be the A's, the athletics with
no city attached to it. Well, they try to figure
things out, but they're out of Oakland.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
What are they gonna do with the stadium. Are they
going to take it down immediately?
Speaker 8 (06:10):
No, So an investment group has come in. I think
they paid one hundred million for it. Something around there
tell you how bad a shape Oakland is in. They're
going to use that money to pay for their police
department to keep it afloat, and the investment firm says
they're going to try to figure it out. It's an
African American investment firm focused on African American sports. They're
going to try to figure out something to put in there.
(06:32):
But it's not a pro team that it looks like
right now. Won't be a pro team unless they can
figure out when the wants to move to Oakland. Seems
unlikely so eventually, I mean, look, the Oakland Coliseum is
not nice. It's got to go. It's old, it's a
big chunk of concrete. But they wanted to go somewhere
else in Oakland. Unfortunately didn't work out. But for now
it's going to remain and the investment firm, it's going
(06:54):
to be up to them what they do with it.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Right, But didn't they also lose Bay Meadows? Wasn't that
in Oakland?
Speaker 10 (06:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Race? Yeah, around the road.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Yeah, it's like maybe ten miles down the freeway.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I think that's going away too. And it's Oakland's they're
going through a rough time right now. Yeah. The mayor
is under federal indictment for alleged crimes and there's a
lot going on.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, that's tough man, you know, But that that team
wasn't that bad. I mean, as you know, as early
as you know nineteen eighty nine. Do you remember the
World Series when.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
I remember you were there, sold being there. Yeah, the
Bash brothers have Conseka McGuire and Ricky Henderson's state. He
was back today, Ricky Henderson taking pictures with everybody, and
the grounds crew was out there with everybody holding out.
But they went back to Battle Water.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They went back to back World Series eighty eight, eighty nine.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Yeah, yeah, but but yeah, everybody was filling up with
dirt from the field today as the grounds crew went
through and filled up their empty water bottles with it.
And there's a lot of history there. In nineteen sixty
eight Catfish Hunters perfect Game, a lot went on in
that stadium.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I remember, you know, when I collected baseball cards
when I was a kid, So you know, sixties, the
early seventies, and and a team. You know, a player
would play for the team his entire career, so I
only had to look at the player and I knew
he was on Oakland, or I knew he was on
the Mets, or I knew he was. But nowadays, you know,
you can't tell a guy, you know, he's on place
for nine different teams. But I remember almost the entire lineup,
(08:17):
you know, watching the A's because when you played for
the A's, you played your whole career there.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Yeah, Dennis Eckers lay all of them that. Yeah, they had,
they had quite a team at one time, Tony Larissa
running it. But you get the situation of people not
wanting to come and watch and they're going to bail
out of there. But there is a lot of people today.
During the game, they were wearing shirts saying sell the team.
They were chanting at the entire game. There is still
a hope in Oakland that they're going to get a
(08:41):
reprieve from this. But John Fisher, the owner, is showing
those signs of it.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I hope they do.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I mean, that's a great fan base up there in
the you know, in the in the Bay Area. They
certainly have enough people to you know, support two teams
up So yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Sorry, lost the team, man, you get no problem. All right,
there you go.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
As long as the Rockies don't go anywhere, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Good, Okay, his adopted team.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
That's funny. It's like my mom. My mom was the
biggest Lakers fan in the world. My mom bought season seats.
She had six kids, and she had two season seats
so she could take one kid with her and she
went to almost every home Laker game. And then she
moved to Colorado when my mom and dad got divorced,
and she was in Colorado for about nine minutes. I
(09:27):
think on the cab ride from the airport to the
hotel that she was going to stay in for a
couple weeks before before moving into or into a house,
and on the cab ride from the airport to the hotel,
she became a Nuggets fan.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Right, call me up.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
You see these Nuggets?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Oh man, these guys are unbelievable. How about that John Alway,
I'm like, Ma, you just got there, settled down, You've
been there for eight minutes. How can you be a
big John Elway fan? Ah? They change, they change, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
We're live on kf A lot of big stories happening.
UCLA is in the news. We'll talk about that, and
also the Hasmad thing going on at Terminal Island. That's
a big deal that's going to go on for days.
And this hurricane, this is going to be a nightmare
for Florida.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Now, Krozer, you probably have the most experience with this,
so we're gonna go to you right now.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't know if that's good or bad. But were
you Were you ever in Florida during a hurricane? I was,
I've been in Florida during a hurricane. Yes, it's a nightmare. Uh, yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 12 (10:29):
I didn't have anything this bad, but I think I
had a Category two to three. And we were outside
just beforehand because it was kind of hitting in the
middle of the night, and we had to empty out
our pool to drain our pool because a lot of
the homes there, the pools are basically connected right to
the house at the same level, at like four feet
of the door, and so we had to we We're
(10:51):
sitting there trying to pull levers in the middle of
a hurricane, trying to drain it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Oh my God.
Speaker 12 (10:55):
And my sisters and my mom, they were down there
for it was huge when it was like the mid eighties,
and they were in the house at the time, and
it blew the front door and the back door open,
and it just sucked everything out of the house out.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I remember one year, I don't remember what hurricane it was,
but there's a hurricane that came through Miami and I think,
we're going to talk to your sister, Susan.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Your sister is down there, yes.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And we were talking to her and it seemed calm there,
the calm before the storm.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And then I'm like, God, she sounds so familiar.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's like I've talked to her before and then I realized, Oh,
it's belly o bs ing us pretending to be your sister.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Because she couldn't get a hold of her.
Speaker 12 (11:36):
And if I remember correctly, she sent me a Susan
sent me a picture because we were talking about what
are you gonna what are you gonna exist on after
the storm? And I think Sharon said, like popsicles, and
Susan sent me a picture with her holding popsicles.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Out in the front yard. Oh that's great, but this
is gonna be a hell of a storm coming in Helene, right, Helleen, Helene.
It's brutal looking.
Speaker 12 (11:56):
Right now, they're showing some CNN showing some shots of
I think it's a bridge between Saint Pete and Tampa.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, the I two seven five. It is just it
is that? Is that a highway down there? I two
seven five, Yes, Okay, that's what they're shown right now.
And I don't know if that's the Florida Keys or
if that's Tampa. Okay, but this they're expecting a twenty
foot surge.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That's insane to think that's less than than Katrina. Katrina,
I think was was sixteen. That's halfway up the building here. Yes,
we're at that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Unsurvivable, unsurvivorable, unsurvival, unser unsurvivable.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Bull bully, I'm strong, strong like bolls. All right, let's
talk to Michael Brian.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
We got another story going on over at Terminal Island.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Nice name for it, Mike.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
You there?
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Oh yeah, how are you?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
A lot of actions has matched. Hey there you are
you there about? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
There we go?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Hey, all right, hey, so what's going on in Termino Island?
Bub just a mess.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Well, it starts with an overturned big rig and he's
about to head over to the Vincent Thomas Bridge, you
know that area between Long Beach and Pedro And he's
on the forty seven westbound or yeah, westbound, and he
flipped over, got hazard as material on the board of
the truck. The emergency crews aren't getting anywhere near it.
(13:31):
There's a little fire smoldering in the back of that truck.
And there again they're a quarter mile away. Nobody's getting
in there unless they got a hazardmass suit.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Mike, Michael, I heard it was the same same type
of material, battery material that happened on the way to
Vegas that shut down that road for three days.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
That's why they're talking. Yeah, that's why they're talking about
maybe a multiple day thing.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So dangerous.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
But oh my god, and you got both sides are
shut down.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'll want you on the other side of the fence
either now. Yeah, and where the fumes blowing? Can you tell?
Are they blowing towards I wouldn't say. There's a lot
of smoke.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
I noticed there's a little smoldering fire at the back,
but I don't see like a plume of smoke or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Are they worried about this thing exploding?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Possibly? Yeah, I would doubt it. And if you're heading
to a princess cruise, there's two dock there and they
don't wait around, so there's probably two about to go
out at five o'clock. So I hope you're there already
because they're shutting you down.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
At that exit.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
It's a forty seven east pound no at Harbor Boy.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So if you're going from Long Beach to San Pedro
to catch that cruise ship, you got to go all
the way around.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Now, yeah, Well, you're to tempt Anaheim Street or PCA.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Anaheim's got to be completely full.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Though they are, they're completely sold out. You're probably probably
better off going all the way to the one five. No, well,
live to the one ten and then you deal with
the slowing out of pedro oh man. But yeah, if
you are flying over.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
There right now, are you over it?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I'm just I just circle Dodgers Stadium because we got
a big game.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We wait, so are you Are you above Dodgers Stadium
right now?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
No, I'm actually technically I am just about to hit
your favorite spot, Bell Gardens and the the casino here
the bike, yeah, yeah, the bike of Yeah, I'm going
down the Seventh Town. I'm going back to the camp
out there for a while because that that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All right, So you're going back to Terminal Island.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah, And so it is the Dodger game.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I can't when when.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Does the flight restrictions take effect for the Dodger game?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
An hour before the game? I can't believe how many
they've already let like in the bleachers, they've already let
some people in. Oh my gosh. Well, the final regular
season game of the season.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
This waypreciation day, I think it is.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
And and by the way, the Dodgers, with a win
win the National League West. So we got that going
for us.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's great, buddy. All right, well thanks for coming on.
Let's well, can we check in with you again at Terminal.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Absolutely any time you want. I'll camp out there for
a while.

stories going on. UCLA lost their baseball field. It's going
to be turned back over to the veterans. This area
of Veterans Administration has Matt Team in Terminal Island. They
(16:43):
don't want to get anywhere near this truck that's on
fire that could be closed down for days. And Hurricane
Helene and at twenty twenty foot surge coming into Florida
near the Panhandle. That is going to be a nightmare,
a nightmare tonight. They say it's about to hit landfall
around six thirty to seven thirty hour time, So we'll
(17:04):
be on the air when that sucker hits. This is
going to be huge, This is gonna be another Katrina.
They they're really worried about this one.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Huge stories going on.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was just walking around the hallway and somebody told
me about a great story that the Angels manager.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You're the Angels, right, Bellion.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, the Angels manager said, I think to the owner
of the owner, I wish they would give me really
real baseball players.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, you imagine that.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You imagine like Robin Berlucci saying, I wish they would
give me real radio guys. And that's probably happened. But
that's a big story, you know, going on Angels. That's
a real insult to the guys on the field. Yeah,
these professional babies.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Wasn't counting last year when he had Otani on the
t It's like, guess, not Belly, what's going on with y?
What the heck? And that monitor? Yeah, what's going on
with you? She's under the desk turned what.
Speaker 11 (18:15):
I love her?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh please, oh my god, she's under the desk going
on with you. You know what, I don't think you
can go under a guy's desk. If you're fixing a computer,
you can. Yeah, that's a better wrap on the reasons.
You can get under there, down and save it for later. Right.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, Well, she's just fixing the desk, fixing the computer.
What does that mean fixing the computer? Ah, well, you know,
a fourth fifth floor HR. But UCLA lost their baseball field.
They've been playing baseball at the Veterans Administration for forty
three years. They put tens of millions of dollars into
a new stadium, and then a judge said, no, no, no, no, no,
(18:58):
that's for veterans, that's for homeless veterans. You got to
build apartments there something. You can't play baseball there.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Get out.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And then Brentwood has their athletics facility on that property
as well, and they got to bail out of that.
And you know they put millions into that as well.
So Brentwood School and UCLA gotta bail got to get
out of there. Judge said, you can't even go on
that field anymore. That's a big story. Has Matt at
Terminal Island. If you're going on a cruise and you
(19:28):
got to use that road, that street, that boulevard, that
avenue between sam Pedro and Long Beach, your ucherd that's closed.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
That is closed.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Has Matt could be closed for the next three, four
or five days.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
That's a big deal. And then Hurricane Helene twenty foot
surge up to twenty feet two stories. That's huge.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
So we're covering all those stories in great detail just
for you, the listeners of kfive.
Speaker 12 (20:00):
I was looking at the we were talking earlier about
what they were showing on CNN. The shot was from
the two seventy five. That's a bridge that connects Tampa
and then Saint Petersburg to the west over the over
old Tampa Bay. And there are three bridges that connect
Tampa to the Saint Pete area, and all three of
them completely shut down. I mean, I'm looking at it
(20:20):
at a traffic map and it's just like, no, don't
even think about it. And as we saw in the pictures,
there shouldn't be anybody on those roads.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Man oh man.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
And and here's the here's the I guess somewhat silver
lining about this where it's heading. It's heading right towards
basically what I call the armpit of Florida, because it's
that you know, that turn. People live there, I believe
some people do, yes, But if you look at it
on a map, the population in that whole area and
(20:48):
that turn of Florida, it's very sparse. And that's why
they're showing Tampa, Saint Pete much further down, which is
only which is about halfway down the state, because that's
the closest thing with a heavy population that it's gonna hit.
So that could be somewhat of a silver lining, however,
small solace to the people that are actually living up
there in a sort of shirt Panama and these that's
(21:10):
a appleachic Cola National Forces.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
What's over there?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Butcher, since you've been in Florida for a hurricane when
it comes to even like the Armpit or the Panhandle,
isn't the entire state effected though, in someway or another.
Speaker 12 (21:22):
And specifically this particular hurricane is especially bad because of
the warm temperatures that have that have made it grow
so fast and also has allowed it to grow really large.
That's why the entire state is under warnings of some kind,
and the effect of it is even going to hit
way further south, even onto Cuba.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Ah Man, but a day all right, Well here locally,
we've got breaking news in San Pedro Long Beach that
is not good.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Looks like another lithium battery blow up there.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
I've looked at that rolled over truck with a container
that contains a ton of lithium ion every day you
see are on fire. This is not the kind of
fire you can fight with water or foam, and so
the fire department is actually standing back letting that container
burn and they are keeping folks back about a quarter
of a mile in all directions of Lacity Fire on
(22:13):
the scene down there. They're about to send a drone
overhead to continue to strategize how to handle this situation.
In the meantime. Check out the traffic backup here at
the port. This is right in between the Port of
la and the Port of Long Beach. You're taking a
look at the Gerald Desmond Bridge there as traffic is
backed up all the way across the bridge coming in
from the east. Traffic on the Vincent Thomas Bridge is
(22:36):
currently at a halt as well. That bridge is essentially
shut down. And check out all of the trucks.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That are not checking out to do. We've had three
things we got to check out, man oh Man.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
That are coming through here with all of the cargo
shipments that are being unloaded. There are two separate lanes
that converge right at this intersection at Terminal Island, and
all of these trucks have been sitting here for over
an hour now, so mendus back up here at the port.
We're going to continue to keep an eye on this
developing situation. Reporting live May seven.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Chris Christie Christie, all right, thank you Chris Christie out there, Hi,
Terminal Island.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right, lots going on here. You got to keep
it on K five and then tomorrow Amy King and
Neil Savada are going to jump off a building for
some reason.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
We'll tell you why at five thirty five. We're live
on KFI. Dodger game tonight as well. People already starting
going to the Dodger game. If they win tonight, they
win the division, they win the National League West. So
that's a big game tonight against those those pesky Padres.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, the Podres. Do you think of.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
People if if that team was located in Mexico? Do
you think that they consider that like going to the
Father's game. Doesn't Padres mean Father's going to my father's game?
Going to I'm a fan of Fathers one of the
Father's game in general.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah, made they called Fathers in Mexico, right, I love
the Father's big Father's fan.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Now we got this huge storm coming into Florida. We'll
keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Supposed to hit late this afternoon here, early evening in
Florida between six thirty and seven o'clock maybe seven thirty
our time, So we'll keep an eye on.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
That.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Has Matt team out.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Sort of scratching their head at Terminal Island, not knowing
really how to put put out one of these battery fires.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I got to get used to that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So that has some roads closed out there, and UCLA
losing their baseball field. They got to get off the
property and turn that back over to the Veterans Administration.
So a lot of stories going on on. Big stories man,
all right. Also a homeless deterrent. Let's find out what
this is. San Monica man developed a unique device to
(24:55):
deter homelessness. I think what he did. Op up a
job fair, a job fare whatever. Oh, it's a sound machine,
I get it.
Speaker 13 (25:11):
Okay, you might think you're hearing real crickets, but the
sound is artificial. The motion sensored device is called blue
chirper because of the blue strobe light, and it's meant
to keep the unwanted away.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
I call it diversion security.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
That is, we're diverting them away from our twenty block
radius somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Listen, don't you do that with birds?
Speaker 11 (25:34):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You know you have an eagle sound effect or a
hawk sound effect and keep the birds away.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Is this going to work with homeless people? I don't know.
Speaker 13 (25:40):
Steven McMahon came up with the idea writ in his
Santa Monica living room after he noticed an influx of
unheu'sed individuals looking for a place to rest in the
carports that faced the alleyway.
Speaker 14 (25:52):
I've lived here for over thirty years, and I've seen
this neighborhood, which was just paradise, it was beautiful, decuriorated
over the last five six years.
Speaker 11 (26:04):
And so I want to push these people out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Got an open heart, huh?
Speaker 11 (26:09):
And so I want to push these people out of here?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Okay, I did.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So I developed something's going to really annoy them. Look,
they're already maxed out with annoying. You know, they're they're homeless.
God Almighty, what a heart we have here in La.
They want those people theres come back. So I developed
something to irritate them. Anybody on board?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
And so I want to push these people out of
here and bring the Santa Monica back to the way
it was.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, way to go. Let's let's deliver the homeless people
more bad luck. They've had a nice run of great
luck for a long time.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Where exactly are they going to go? I don't know.
One's the alley over, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I guess the best place that they get, you know,
the best treatment and the best I don't know facilities,
And they're fed and they're welcomed at home, and nobody
bothers them.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Is Claremont.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Dah, Claremont out the Claremont stuff for you, right, And.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
So I want to push these people out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And and for a year now, if they do it,
to quote a Claremont, this will be a Krozier.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
And so I want to push these people out of
here and bring the Santa Monica back to the way
it was.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
But there were trials and tribulations.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Up make Santa Monica great again.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
M M Saga, Saga and bring the Santa Monica back
to the way it was.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
But there were trials and tribulations at first.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
One failure after another, until finally I had an AHA
moment and I changed.
Speaker 11 (27:44):
The approach that I was using and it worked.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
The electronics are kept insidey would in box.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
Stephen had to max the device has worked well with
neighbors that Stephen is branching out selling to local businesses.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Wait, so I don't get it so homeless people, I mean,
that's their kryptonite that they hear crickets and they got
to move on.
Speaker 11 (28:03):
They barely even sit down and they leave.
Speaker 13 (28:06):
His surveillance cameras have caught quite a few people leave
the carport immediately, bothered by the lights and sounds.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
The lights. I see lights as well.
Speaker 13 (28:15):
Okay, bothered by the lights and sounds. One person even
relieves himself frustrated. Stephen has made about a dozen Blue
Chirpers and has a dozen more back orders, but thinks
the demand will go up as long as a homeless
crisis goes unsolved, Luke.
Speaker 11 (28:29):
As long as it's a sound you hear in nature.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, it's a natural sound. I don't know why they hate.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It, and it's not louder than an actual cricket. You're
going to be fine. Nobody can complain about it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Hmmm, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I think it has some bugs in it. Sorry, alright, alright, alright, look,
let's just get somebody here that calls horse racist. Then
who cares?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
All right, Hoda is moving on.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Hoda, one of the big stars of that Today Show,
is leaving the Today Show to raise her two young children.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
Normally we would do pop star right now.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
We got Janet Chanel here, Yes, because our beloved Hoda
has some news.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wait a minute, they're not gonna They didn't do pop
star this morning, Thursday Morning pop Star.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
They didn't do that what normally we would do pop
star right now?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, popstar Thursday Morning pop Star. You don't watch that
Thursday Morning pop star on the Today Show they feature
a pop star and instead Hoda hogged it up with
her moving with her, you know, moving your kids out
of the city.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Now, well, we got Jannet channel here, Yes, because our
beloved Hoda has some news that she's going to share
with everybody.
Speaker 11 (29:37):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I do I have some news? Oh, here we go,
grab the Kleenex. I do I have some news.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
So I was doing the math and I realized that
I have spent twenty six years at NBC.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Here we go, cool, cool, cool.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Twenty six years at NBC, sixteen years on the ten
and seven years with you.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
And I just turned sixty.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
And it was such a monumental moment for me when
I turned sixty years old because I started thinking about
that decade, like what does that decade mean, what does
it hold, what's it going to have for me? And
I realized that which decade is?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
She talked about sixty to seventy.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
And I realized that it was time for me to
turn the page at sixty and to try something new.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
And I think I realized it.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
This was so crazy.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
But remember our sixtieth birthday that we had outside, Yeah,
it was so I can see it. And I remembered
standing outside looking at this beautiful bunch of people with
all these gorgeous signs, and I thought, like, this is
what the top of the wave feels like for me.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
And I thought it can't get better.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And she tried to convince herself, and.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
I thought, it can't get better.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh man, you know, I went to a psychiatrist once.
Only lasted three weeks and then she threw me out.
But there's something about having a happy moment when you cry.
There's something wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
She said.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
At least my psychiatrist said that to me, And I'll
tell you why I left. Okay, quick back, I see
I can't. I can't because it starts a whole effing
fight at home.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
All right.

If you have a cruise that you want to go on,

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It looks like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I mean you have got to literally if you get
caught in that and you want to go to Long
Beach or San Pedro, you got to almost go all
the way up and around. That's going to be you know,
forty five minutes out of your.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
Way, yes, right easily. And then with traffic yeah, oh yeah,
after the usual afternoon drive traffic. Now it's going to
be an absolute mess. So it's like I said, it's
going to be another couple of days before everything's cleared
up and cleaned up the way.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And where is exactly is it between San Pedro and
Long Beach?
Speaker 6 (01:39):

Right, Alex Stone is with its Alex. How you, Bob Long?
How are you, buddy? I know you're a big baseball fan.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Are you a Dodger fan?
Speaker 8 (01:58):
Uh? No, no, what are you? I grew up an
A's fan.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
When I went to school in Colorado became a Rockies fan.
Nobody ever says that someday it'll be October again. It
was like two thousand and nine, someday it'll be again.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Belly's from Denver. She's a big Rockies fan. I didn't
know that.
Speaker 8 (02:16):
That's why I like Sharon.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, she used to hang out on the rock wall
or is that what they call it? What's that name
of it out there? What is that bellio? That roll
rock pile? It's the worst seats at Corsfield.
Speaker 8 (02:29):
Yeah, of course field is sure nice though, but Ax,
she wasn't just a fan.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
She worked for the Rockies.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So she worked for in baseball or in some capacity radio? Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
She had a press pass to go anywhere the editors
out there?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Where did you ka? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (02:45):
I worked at K big and fifty fifty thousand, blow
Torch of.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The Rockies ripped.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You know those radio idiots when they get into call
signs and dumbers, and they know the old the old slogans,
the big stick.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
All right, So what's going on? You're losing your team? Huh.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
Yeah, this is a sad day in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Did you see it coming? Did you see it coming?
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Well, I mean it's been coming for years. But I
mean they had fought hard to keep the team in Oakland.
There were five different I think deals that fell through.
One they were going to try to move down to
Santa Clara, but then the Giants said no, kind of
like media markets that they've got their jurisdiction of where
their fan base is. And the Giant said, that's ours.
(03:28):
You know, forty nine ers are down there, and they
said the A's aren't going to go there. They tried
for the water front and that fell through for a
number of reasons. So today was hit and they at
least they won today three to two over the over
the Rangers. But today they sold out the stadium for
the first time in a long time. But they've lost
the Warriors. The Raiders now the last pro.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Team to go and in and out Denny's.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Yeah, they did lose it in and out right right
down the street because of the crime and in that area.
But no, there is a lot of emotion. The tailgates
today is folks were saying goodbye to it. This guy
you can hear with his music bumping, is he's tailgating
and making brought worst on the grill that he breaks
up and takes a moment to get through it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I mean, I've been coming here.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I'm sure you hear this from a lot of people,
you know, with their fathers, their grandfathers, and it's tough.
Speaker 8 (04:19):
And that's the thing. So many generations I know I did.
We would go every Friday night living in Santa Rosa.
We'd go down to Oakland every Friday night, stay over
and then go to the Friday night game in the
Saturday day game. And a lot of people did that
fifty seven years.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But why did they? Why did people stop going?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Well, this is the thing. So the the argument from
fans is that the owner, John Fisher, that he pulled
a major league without Willie Mays Hayes involved, that he
wanted to make this move so to make it happen,
he had the lowest payroll in baseball, so that they
would lose fifty two million dollar payroll for the past
three seasons, that is not enough to winning team. And
(04:58):
then because of that, and because the word they were
gonna move, the fans stopped coming. They had fewer than
eleven thousand per game this season, lowest in baseball, and
so now they're gonna move. But the part of this is, well,
first of all, fans are still hoping that there's a
night in Shining Armor. Who's gonna come trotting up with
a couple of billion dollars and buy this thing and
and stop this from going on. But they're gonna go
(05:19):
to Sacramento for probably years, playing in the Rivercats Stadium,
a small minor league stadium, which is gonna be weird
when the Yankees come to town and they're playing in this, like,
you know, minor league, little league stadium essentially. And so
they're gonna be playing in West sac for however long
it takes. Vegas is the plan. But they have not
(05:39):
imploded the Tropicana yet. Yeah, they're gonna they think they're
gonna implode it here in the next week two weeks,
but they haven't even started building the stadium there. There's
still a lot of iffy aspects onto that stadium. So
if that's gonna end up being where they really go.
But they're in this interim area. They're not going to
be the Sacramento As, they won't be the Oakland A's,
they're not gonna be the Vegas As yet. They say
(06:01):
they're just going to be the A's, the athletics with
no city attached to it. Well, they try to figure
things out, but they're out of Oakland.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
What are they gonna do with the stadium. Are they
going to take it down immediately?
Speaker 8 (06:10):
No, So an investment group has come in. I think
they paid one hundred million for it. Something around there
tell you how bad a shape Oakland is in. They're
going to use that money to pay for their police
department to keep it afloat, and the investment firm says
they're going to try to figure it out. It's an
African American investment firm focused on African American sports. They're
going to try to figure out something to put in there.
(06:32):
But it's not a pro team that it looks like
right now. Won't be a pro team unless they can
figure out when the wants to move to Oakland. Seems
unlikely so eventually, I mean, look, the Oakland Coliseum is
not nice. It's got to go. It's old, it's a
big chunk of concrete. But they wanted to go somewhere
else in Oakland. Unfortunately didn't work out. But for now
it's going to remain and the investment firm, it's going
(06:54):
to be up to them what they do with it.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Right, But didn't they also lose Bay Meadows? Wasn't that
in Oakland?
Speaker 10 (06:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Race? Yeah, around the road.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Yeah, it's like maybe ten miles down the freeway.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I think that's going away too. And it's Oakland's they're
going through a rough time right now. Yeah. The mayor
is under federal indictment for alleged crimes and there's a
lot going on.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, that's tough man, you know, But that that team
wasn't that bad. I mean, as you know, as early
as you know nineteen eighty nine. Do you remember the
World Series when.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
I remember you were there, sold being there. Yeah, the
Bash brothers have Conseka McGuire and Ricky Henderson's state. He
was back today, Ricky Henderson taking pictures with everybody, and
the grounds crew was out there with everybody holding out.
But they went back to Battle Water.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They went back to back World Series eighty eight, eighty nine.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Yeah, yeah, but but yeah, everybody was filling up with
dirt from the field today as the grounds crew went
through and filled up their empty water bottles with it.
And there's a lot of history there. In nineteen sixty
eight Catfish Hunters perfect Game, a lot went on in
that stadium.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I remember, you know, when I collected baseball cards
when I was a kid, So you know, sixties, the
early seventies, and and a team. You know, a player
would play for the team his entire career, so I
only had to look at the player and I knew
he was on Oakland, or I knew he was on
the Mets, or I knew he was. But nowadays, you know,
you can't tell a guy, you know, he's on place
for nine different teams. But I remember almost the entire lineup,
(08:17):
you know, watching the A's because when you played for
the A's, you played your whole career there.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Yeah, Dennis Eckers lay all of them that. Yeah, they had,
they had quite a team at one time, Tony Larissa
running it. But you get the situation of people not
wanting to come and watch and they're going to bail
out of there. But there is a lot of people today.
During the game, they were wearing shirts saying sell the team.
They were chanting at the entire game. There is still
a hope in Oakland that they're going to get a
(08:41):
reprieve from this. But John Fisher, the owner, is showing
those signs of it.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I hope they do.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I mean, that's a great fan base up there in
the you know, in the in the Bay Area. They
certainly have enough people to you know, support two teams
up So yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Sorry, lost the team, man, you get no problem. All right,
there you go.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
As long as the Rockies don't go anywhere, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Good, Okay, his adopted team.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
That's funny. It's like my mom. My mom was the
biggest Lakers fan in the world. My mom bought season seats.
She had six kids, and she had two season seats
so she could take one kid with her and she
went to almost every home Laker game. And then she
moved to Colorado when my mom and dad got divorced,
and she was in Colorado for about nine minutes. I
(09:27):
think on the cab ride from the airport to the
hotel that she was going to stay in for a
couple weeks before before moving into or into a house,
and on the cab ride from the airport to the hotel,
she became a Nuggets fan.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Right, call me up.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
You see these Nuggets?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Oh man, these guys are unbelievable. How about that John Alway,
I'm like, Ma, you just got there, settled down, You've
been there for eight minutes. How can you be a
big John Elway fan? Ah? They change, they change, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
We're live on kf A lot of big stories happening.
UCLA is in the news. We'll talk about that, and
also the Hasmad thing going on at Terminal Island. That's
a big deal that's going to go on for days.
And this hurricane, this is going to be a nightmare
for Florida.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Now, Krozer, you probably have the most experience with this,
so we're gonna go to you right now.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't know if that's good or bad. But were
you Were you ever in Florida during a hurricane? I was,
I've been in Florida during a hurricane. Yes, it's a nightmare. Uh, yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 12 (10:29):
I didn't have anything this bad, but I think I
had a Category two to three. And we were outside
just beforehand because it was kind of hitting in the
middle of the night, and we had to empty out
our pool to drain our pool because a lot of
the homes there, the pools are basically connected right to
the house at the same level, at like four feet
of the door, and so we had to we We're
(10:51):
sitting there trying to pull levers in the middle of
a hurricane, trying to drain it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Oh my God.
Speaker 12 (10:55):
And my sisters and my mom, they were down there
for it was huge when it was like the mid eighties,
and they were in the house at the time, and
it blew the front door and the back door open,
and it just sucked everything out of the house out.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I remember one year, I don't remember what hurricane it was,
but there's a hurricane that came through Miami and I think,
we're going to talk to your sister, Susan.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Your sister is down there, yes.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And we were talking to her and it seemed calm there,
the calm before the storm.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And then I'm like, God, she sounds so familiar.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's like I've talked to her before and then I realized, Oh,
it's belly o bs ing us pretending to be your sister.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Because she couldn't get a hold of her.
Speaker 12 (11:36):
And if I remember correctly, she sent me a Susan
sent me a picture because we were talking about what
are you gonna what are you gonna exist on after
the storm? And I think Sharon said, like popsicles, and
Susan sent me a picture with her holding popsicles.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Out in the front yard. Oh that's great, but this
is gonna be a hell of a storm coming in Helene, right, Helleen, Helene.
It's brutal looking.
Speaker 12 (11:56):
Right now, they're showing some CNN showing some shots of
I think it's a bridge between Saint Pete and Tampa.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, the I two seven five. It is just it
is that? Is that a highway down there? I two
seven five, Yes, Okay, that's what they're shown right now.
And I don't know if that's the Florida Keys or
if that's Tampa. Okay, but this they're expecting a twenty
foot surge.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That's insane to think that's less than than Katrina. Katrina,
I think was was sixteen. That's halfway up the building here. Yes,
we're at that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Unsurvivable, unsurvivorable, unsurvival, unser unsurvivable.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Bull bully, I'm strong, strong like bolls. All right, let's
talk to Michael Brian.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
We got another story going on over at Terminal Island.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Nice name for it, Mike.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
You there?
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Oh yeah, how are you?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
A lot of actions has matched. Hey there you are
you there about? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
There we go?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Hey, all right, hey, so what's going on in Termino Island?
Bub just a mess.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Well, it starts with an overturned big rig and he's
about to head over to the Vincent Thomas Bridge, you
know that area between Long Beach and Pedro And he's
on the forty seven westbound or yeah, westbound, and he
flipped over, got hazard as material on the board of
the truck. The emergency crews aren't getting anywhere near it.
(13:31):
There's a little fire smoldering in the back of that truck.
And there again they're a quarter mile away. Nobody's getting
in there unless they got a hazardmass suit.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Mike, Michael, I heard it was the same same type
of material, battery material that happened on the way to
Vegas that shut down that road for three days.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
That's why they're talking. Yeah, that's why they're talking about
maybe a multiple day thing.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So dangerous.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
But oh my god, and you got both sides are
shut down.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'll want you on the other side of the fence
either now. Yeah, and where the fumes blowing? Can you tell?
Are they blowing towards I wouldn't say. There's a lot
of smoke.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
I noticed there's a little smoldering fire at the back,
but I don't see like a plume of smoke or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Are they worried about this thing exploding?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Possibly? Yeah, I would doubt it. And if you're heading
to a princess cruise, there's two dock there and they
don't wait around, so there's probably two about to go
out at five o'clock. So I hope you're there already
because they're shutting you down.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
At that exit.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
It's a forty seven east pound no at Harbor Boy.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So if you're going from Long Beach to San Pedro
to catch that cruise ship, you got to go all
the way around.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Now, yeah, Well, you're to tempt Anaheim Street or PCA.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Anaheim's got to be completely full.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Though they are, they're completely sold out. You're probably probably
better off going all the way to the one five. No, well,
live to the one ten and then you deal with
the slowing out of pedro oh man. But yeah, if
you are flying over.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
There right now, are you over it?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I'm just I just circle Dodgers Stadium because we got
a big game.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We wait, so are you Are you above Dodgers Stadium
right now?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
No, I'm actually technically I am just about to hit
your favorite spot, Bell Gardens and the the casino here
the bike, yeah, yeah, the bike of Yeah, I'm going
down the Seventh Town. I'm going back to the camp
out there for a while because that that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All right, So you're going back to Terminal Island.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah, And so it is the Dodger game.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I can't when when.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Does the flight restrictions take effect for the Dodger game?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
An hour before the game? I can't believe how many
they've already let like in the bleachers, they've already let
some people in. Oh my gosh. Well, the final regular
season game of the season.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
This waypreciation day, I think it is.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
And and by the way, the Dodgers, with a win
win the National League West. So we got that going
for us.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's great, buddy. All right, well thanks for coming on.
Let's well, can we check in with you again at Terminal.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Absolutely any time you want. I'll camp out there for
a while.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That's our Thursday checking with Mike O'Brien, always brought to
you by Advanced Hair, one day treatment, life changing results.
Make your appointment today at Advanced Hair dot com. Big
stories going on. UCLA lost their baseball field. It's going
to be turned back over to the veterans. This area
of Veterans Administration has Matt Team in Terminal Island. They
(16:43):
don't want to get anywhere near this truck that's on
fire that could be closed down for days. And Hurricane
Helene and at twenty twenty foot surge coming into Florida
near the Panhandle. That is going to be a nightmare,
a nightmare tonight. They say it's about to hit landfall
around six thirty to seven thirty hour time, So we'll
(17:04):
be on the air when that sucker hits. This is
going to be huge, This is gonna be another Katrina.
They they're really worried about this one.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Huge stories going on.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was just walking around the hallway and somebody told
me about a great story that the Angels manager.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You're the Angels, right, Bellion.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, the Angels manager said, I think to the owner
of the owner, I wish they would give me really
real baseball players.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, you imagine that.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You imagine like Robin Berlucci saying, I wish they would
give me real radio guys. And that's probably happened. But
that's a big story, you know, going on Angels. That's
a real insult to the guys on the field. Yeah,
these professional babies.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Wasn't counting last year when he had Otani on the
t It's like, guess, not Belly, what's going on with y?
What the heck? And that monitor? Yeah, what's going on
with you? She's under the desk turned what.
Speaker 11 (18:15):
I love her?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh please, oh my god, she's under the desk going
on with you. You know what, I don't think you
can go under a guy's desk. If you're fixing a computer,
you can. Yeah, that's a better wrap on the reasons.
You can get under there, down and save it for later. Right.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, Well, she's just fixing the desk, fixing the computer.
What does that mean fixing the computer? Ah, well, you know,
a fourth fifth floor HR. But UCLA lost their baseball field.
They've been playing baseball at the Veterans Administration for forty
three years. They put tens of millions of dollars into
a new stadium, and then a judge said, no, no, no, no, no,
(18:58):
that's for veterans, that's for homeless veterans. You got to
build apartments there something. You can't play baseball there.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Get out.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And then Brentwood has their athletics facility on that property
as well, and they got to bail out of that.
And you know they put millions into that as well.
So Brentwood School and UCLA gotta bail got to get
out of there. Judge said, you can't even go on
that field anymore. That's a big story. Has Matt at
Terminal Island. If you're going on a cruise and you
(19:28):
got to use that road, that street, that boulevard, that
avenue between sam Pedro and Long Beach, your ucherd that's closed.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
That is closed.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Has Matt could be closed for the next three, four
or five days.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
That's a big deal. And then Hurricane Helene twenty foot
surge up to twenty feet two stories. That's huge.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
So we're covering all those stories in great detail just
for you, the listeners of kfive.
Speaker 12 (20:00):
I was looking at the we were talking earlier about
what they were showing on CNN. The shot was from
the two seventy five. That's a bridge that connects Tampa
and then Saint Petersburg to the west over the over
old Tampa Bay. And there are three bridges that connect
Tampa to the Saint Pete area, and all three of
them completely shut down. I mean, I'm looking at it
(20:20):
at a traffic map and it's just like, no, don't
even think about it. And as we saw in the pictures,
there shouldn't be anybody on those roads.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Man oh man.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
And and here's the here's the I guess somewhat silver
lining about this where it's heading. It's heading right towards
basically what I call the armpit of Florida, because it's
that you know, that turn. People live there, I believe
some people do, yes, But if you look at it
on a map, the population in that whole area and
(20:48):
that turn of Florida, it's very sparse. And that's why
they're showing Tampa, Saint Pete much further down, which is
only which is about halfway down the state, because that's
the closest thing with a heavy population that it's gonna hit.
So that could be somewhat of a silver lining, however,
small solace to the people that are actually living up
there in a sort of shirt Panama and these that's
(21:10):
a appleachic Cola National Forces.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
What's over there?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Butcher, since you've been in Florida for a hurricane when
it comes to even like the Armpit or the Panhandle,
isn't the entire state effected though, in someway or another.
Speaker 12 (21:22):
And specifically this particular hurricane is especially bad because of
the warm temperatures that have that have made it grow
so fast and also has allowed it to grow really large.
That's why the entire state is under warnings of some kind,
and the effect of it is even going to hit
way further south, even onto Cuba.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Ah Man, but a day all right, Well here locally,
we've got breaking news in San Pedro Long Beach that
is not good.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Looks like another lithium battery blow up there.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
I've looked at that rolled over truck with a container
that contains a ton of lithium ion every day you
see are on fire. This is not the kind of
fire you can fight with water or foam, and so
the fire department is actually standing back letting that container
burn and they are keeping folks back about a quarter
of a mile in all directions of Lacity Fire on
(22:13):
the scene down there. They're about to send a drone
overhead to continue to strategize how to handle this situation.
In the meantime. Check out the traffic backup here at
the port. This is right in between the Port of
la and the Port of Long Beach. You're taking a
look at the Gerald Desmond Bridge there as traffic is
backed up all the way across the bridge coming in
from the east. Traffic on the Vincent Thomas Bridge is
(22:36):
currently at a halt as well. That bridge is essentially
shut down. And check out all of the trucks.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That are not checking out to do. We've had three
things we got to check out, man oh Man.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
That are coming through here with all of the cargo
shipments that are being unloaded. There are two separate lanes
that converge right at this intersection at Terminal Island, and
all of these trucks have been sitting here for over
an hour now, so mendus back up here at the port.
We're going to continue to keep an eye on this
developing situation. Reporting live May seven.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Chris Christie Christie, all right, thank you Chris Christie out there, Hi,
Terminal Island.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right, lots going on here. You got to keep
it on K five and then tomorrow Amy King and
Neil Savada are going to jump off a building for
some reason.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
We'll tell you why at five thirty five. We're live
on KFI. Dodger game tonight as well. People already starting
going to the Dodger game. If they win tonight, they
win the division, they win the National League West. So
that's a big game tonight against those those pesky Padres.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, the Podres. Do you think of.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
People if if that team was located in Mexico? Do
you think that they consider that like going to the
Father's game. Doesn't Padres mean Father's going to my father's game?
Going to I'm a fan of Fathers one of the
Father's game in general.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah, made they called Fathers in Mexico, right, I love
the Father's big Father's fan.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Now we got this huge storm coming into Florida. We'll
keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Supposed to hit late this afternoon here, early evening in
Florida between six thirty and seven o'clock maybe seven thirty
our time, So we'll keep an eye on.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
That.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Has Matt team out.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Sort of scratching their head at Terminal Island, not knowing
really how to put put out one of these battery fires.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I got to get used to that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So that has some roads closed out there, and UCLA
losing their baseball field. They got to get off the
property and turn that back over to the Veterans Administration.
So a lot of stories going on on. Big stories man,
all right. Also a homeless deterrent. Let's find out what
this is. San Monica man developed a unique device to
(24:55):
deter homelessness. I think what he did. Op up a
job fair, a job fare whatever. Oh, it's a sound machine,
I get it.
Speaker 13 (25:11):
Okay, you might think you're hearing real crickets, but the
sound is artificial. The motion sensored device is called blue
chirper because of the blue strobe light, and it's meant
to keep the unwanted away.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
I call it diversion security.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
That is, we're diverting them away from our twenty block
radius somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Listen, don't you do that with birds?
Speaker 11 (25:34):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You know you have an eagle sound effect or a
hawk sound effect and keep the birds away.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Is this going to work with homeless people? I don't know.
Speaker 13 (25:40):
Steven McMahon came up with the idea writ in his
Santa Monica living room after he noticed an influx of
unheu'sed individuals looking for a place to rest in the
carports that faced the alleyway.
Speaker 14 (25:52):
I've lived here for over thirty years, and I've seen
this neighborhood, which was just paradise, it was beautiful, decuriorated
over the last five six years.
Speaker 11 (26:04):
And so I want to push these people out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Got an open heart, huh?
Speaker 11 (26:09):
And so I want to push these people out of here?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Okay, I did.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So I developed something's going to really annoy them. Look,
they're already maxed out with annoying. You know, they're they're homeless.
God Almighty, what a heart we have here in La.
They want those people theres come back. So I developed
something to irritate them. Anybody on board?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
And so I want to push these people out of
here and bring the Santa Monica back to the way
it was.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, way to go. Let's let's deliver the homeless people
more bad luck. They've had a nice run of great
luck for a long time.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Where exactly are they going to go? I don't know.
One's the alley over, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I guess the best place that they get, you know,
the best treatment and the best I don't know facilities,
And they're fed and they're welcomed at home, and nobody
bothers them.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Is Claremont.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Dah, Claremont out the Claremont stuff for you, right, And.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
So I want to push these people out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And and for a year now, if they do it,
to quote a Claremont, this will be a Krozier.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
And so I want to push these people out of
here and bring the Santa Monica back to the way
it was.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
But there were trials and tribulations.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Up make Santa Monica great again.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
M M Saga, Saga and bring the Santa Monica back
to the way it was.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
But there were trials and tribulations at first.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
One failure after another, until finally I had an AHA
moment and I changed.
Speaker 11 (27:44):
The approach that I was using and it worked.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
The electronics are kept insidey would in box.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
Stephen had to max the device has worked well with
neighbors that Stephen is branching out selling to local businesses.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Wait, so I don't get it so homeless people, I mean,
that's their kryptonite that they hear crickets and they got
to move on.
Speaker 11 (28:03):
They barely even sit down and they leave.
Speaker 13 (28:06):
His surveillance cameras have caught quite a few people leave
the carport immediately, bothered by the lights and sounds.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
The lights. I see lights as well.
Speaker 13 (28:15):
Okay, bothered by the lights and sounds. One person even
relieves himself frustrated. Stephen has made about a dozen Blue
Chirpers and has a dozen more back orders, but thinks
the demand will go up as long as a homeless
crisis goes unsolved, Luke.
Speaker 11 (28:29):
As long as it's a sound you hear in nature.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, it's a natural sound. I don't know why they hate.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It, and it's not louder than an actual cricket. You're
going to be fine. Nobody can complain about it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Hmmm, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I think it has some bugs in it. Sorry, alright, alright, alright, look,
let's just get somebody here that calls horse racist. Then
who cares?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
All right, Hoda is moving on.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Hoda, one of the big stars of that Today Show,
is leaving the Today Show to raise her two young children.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
Normally we would do pop star right now.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
We got Janet Chanel here, Yes, because our beloved Hoda
has some news.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wait a minute, they're not gonna They didn't do pop
star this morning, Thursday Morning pop Star.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
They didn't do that what normally we would do pop
star right now?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, popstar Thursday Morning pop Star. You don't watch that
Thursday Morning pop star on the Today Show they feature
a pop star and instead Hoda hogged it up with
her moving with her, you know, moving your kids out
of the city.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Now, well, we got Jannet channel here, Yes, because our
beloved Hoda has some news that she's going to share
with everybody.
Speaker 11 (29:37):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I do I have some news? Oh, here we go,
grab the Kleenex. I do I have some news.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
So I was doing the math and I realized that
I have spent twenty six years at NBC.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Here we go, cool, cool, cool.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Twenty six years at NBC, sixteen years on the ten
and seven years with you.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
And I just turned sixty.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
And it was such a monumental moment for me when
I turned sixty years old because I started thinking about
that decade, like what does that decade mean, what does
it hold, what's it going to have for me? And
I realized that which decade is?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
She talked about sixty to seventy.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
And I realized that it was time for me to
turn the page at sixty and to try something new.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
And I think I realized it.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
This was so crazy.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
But remember our sixtieth birthday that we had outside, Yeah,
it was so I can see it. And I remembered
standing outside looking at this beautiful bunch of people with
all these gorgeous signs, and I thought, like, this is
what the top of the wave feels like for me.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
And I thought it can't get better.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And she tried to convince herself, and.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
I thought, it can't get better.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh man, you know, I went to a psychiatrist once.
Only lasted three weeks and then she threw me out.
But there's something about having a happy moment when you cry.
There's something wrong with that.
