Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We got
that fire burning at Terminal Island that's gonna go on
for days. It's one of another one of those lithium
battery fires. Truck overturned, probably going too fast, probably making
a left hand turn, going too fast and falls over.
(00:23):
They should have a speed limit on those trucks ten
miles an hour max. And you're if you're in a
populated area, ten miles an hour, because now that whole
area is gonna be shut down for three or four days,
and those truckers and that's going to screw up their
entire weekend. You know, they won't be able to spend
time with their kids because now this guy flipped over.
(00:44):
I don't know what you do with a with a
battery fire. How do you put it out? You just
put a bunch put a bunch of throw a bunch
of charge cords at it, drain the energy. I don't out.
Can't put water on it. It's not gonna put it out. Yeah,
somebody said that. The fire department said, you can't put
water on It's not gonna put it out like ground.
What do you do throw battery? I don't know, other
(01:05):
batteries at it. I don't know how you put it out,
explode it. There's got to be a subdivide.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
To use foam CO two dry chemical graphie. They have
a few things, but it's all kind of odd stuff.
They say, soda like sodium carbonate.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Is that right? Are we an update on this huge
battery fire out there? Bad vibes man.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I are continuing to burn the truck hauling lithium ion batteries,
which is a very difficult type of fire to fight,
infect water and foam.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
By the way, this is out a terminal island between
sam Pedro and Long Beach.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Do no good here, but they are trying to assess
the situation and figure out what their next steps are.
But this has been burning for about five hours now,
and really they have been very hesitant to even approach
that vehicle for obvious reasons. A very flammable and combustible
situation right there at the intersection of Navy Way and
the forty seven Freeways, which is technically the Harbor Freeway,
(01:59):
not to be confused with the one ten, which does
lead to the Vincent Thomas bridge. That Vincent Thomas Bridge
right now is shut down as we speak on Some
of the trucks that remain on Terminal Island here are
now being allowed to cross over the bridge to get
off of Terminal Island. Also, the Gateway bridge is basically
shut down as well, so this is really eliminated.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, they got to change the name of that from
Terminal Island. I think that gives them a bad vibe
out there too. Death Island.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
By the way, there's two different kinds of lithium batteries.
There are lithium ion batteries and regular lithium metal batteries.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
What is this? I don't know. I was hoping you'd
tell me. Oh, yeah, it's what did you say, the first.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
One lithium ion.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's lithium metal. Now it's the first one.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It says lithium ion can be doused with water.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh, then throw water on it. They got plenty of
water down there in Long Beach, tampedro tons of it.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Terminal Island as a thoroughfare this afternoon, which is really
small traffic for the past five hours, and no really
no end in sight in terms of when they're going
to get this fire put out. Reporting live from the
Ore seven. I'm Christy ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I would do yeah, Chris, really quick. This could affect
I mean, this is a major port, an economic port
for the for the entire country, if not just southern California. Right,
a lot of cargo flowing through there is this affecting
the unloading of containers and the shipping of containers out
of the Port of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It has really tied up these cargo trucks. Mark, as
you could see, there's a ship right there in port,
and over to the left there is a whole line
of trucks coming from that ship that have picked up
their containers and are basically just stuck in traffic as
they make their way through this intersection.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And if your dad or your brother, your husband I
don't know, mom, and I don't know, is a truck
driver and that, and they're in that area, they are
going to have a long day. You know. Don't bother
him when he gets home, right, don't bother him. Yeah,
if he's three or four hours late, have a crack
of beer, open, throw on ESPN and let him breathe
for a little while. When he gets home.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Earlier, you could see over here down they are the
bottom rockers where those trucks are. But this line of
trucks right here Mark was about a mile long earlier
this afternoon. Fortunately they have figured out a way to
detour this truck traffic.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, for the truckers down that area. I know you're
listening to KFI because anytime there's any kind of balls
up that we call it here in the newsroom, always
KFI is on it. KFI is always on it, always
on it.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
To get these drivers.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, we heard that last night, Croje. I mean,
I know you're not doubting me, but we had the
Chief Fantasy on, Brian Fantasy from the Orange County Fire Authority,
and he said he flew into town when those firefighters
I think it was nineteen of them I got flipped
over and injured in that horrible accident off the two
forty one. He said, the first thing he did when
(04:43):
he landed, he turned on KFI. And we were talking
about it. Indeed, yes, it makes sense to turn on
KFI whenever there's a problem, and we'll take care of it.
Help you out here to.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Get these drivers over the Vincent Thomas Bridge. But you're right,
this is really tying up the sport situation here at
the port.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, it's horrible, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Chris Christine here seven also breaking right now. I like
how a da George Gascone announcing a new twenty five
count grand jury indictment. Yes, Pathless Iron and Metal Corporation
and its owners Gascon initially.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh man, lots going on, all right, Let's get back
to Hodah. She's leaving NBC and she's broken up about it.
She's got two she's sixty, so she's you know, put
in her time and that weren't working in the mornings
like that. That's a young bird's game. Man. As you
get older, your body does not do well with that. Yeah.
(05:36):
A friend of mine, a guy named Jack Silver, he
produced the Rick D's show Rick D's in the Morning.
Tell us what Tom it is?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That show? He worked on it for seven years and
he said he was tired every second of the day
for seven years. Do you ever work morning shift?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
CROs Oh my god, yess. I did overnights mostly but exhausting.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Absolutely. Michelle Cube talks about it all the time.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Working with a handle as long as she did, and yeah,
there was a period where she got out of having
to get in to come in so early, and she
was very happy, and then she had to go back
in and now she's.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh, yeah, it's tough, man, it is tough. Can't get bye.
This is a Hoda what's her last name? Couldt me Cotby,
cot me interesting coppy?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
All can't get better? And I decided that this is
this is the right.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Time for me to She's leaving the Today Show to
kind of move on.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
And then I thought.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
About all stuffed up too, she's really emotional, move on.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
And then I thought about, well, obviously I had my
kiddos late in life, and I was thinking that they
deserve a bigger piece of my of my time pie.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
That I have.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
I feel like we only have a finite amount of time.
And so with all that being said, this is the
hardest thing in the world, because just just today I
was looking at my phone and oh, you guys are
holding my.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Kids, and I was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I kept looking at them all the pictures anyway, but
I'm not I'm going to be here through the rest
of the year, past the first of the year.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh, I thought she was leaving today that emotions for
New Year's Tito hand me a tissue, and.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I'm going to stay in the NBC family. But it's
kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
So sorry, I wasn't.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I seriously, I've been practicing, so I wouldn't anywhere I did.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Ah, too bad. Yeah, she's got two young kids, a
five year old, I believe in a seven year old.
So she's going to move out to the Sticks. She
bought a big house, four thousand square feet, four bedroom,
five bathrooms, really nice where I don't know, somewhere outside
from State New York. No, oh, maybe it is, stay
(07:51):
up there. Maybe it is. I don't know. I just
assumed it was upstate New York, but maybe not. But
she's leaving the big city. She's doing like the opposite
of the Beverly Hillbillies. You know, they moved from you know,
the the Sticks to Beverly Hills. She's moving from the
city to the Sticks. So the opposite of the Beverly
(08:13):
Hill Billies. All right, Ding dong with her, Hoda New
Year's that's a wrap for Hoda on and weish her
luck with those kids. UCLA has got to get out
of their baseball field. That's a big story on the
West Side Brentwood. They're recreational or sports facility is there too,
so they got to shut that down or they're going
(08:33):
to shut that down. And the hazmat team. We've been
talking about a terminal island. That's a big deal. And
the big story nationally is this hurricane ten to twenty
foot surge right as Crozier calls it, the armpit of Florida,
right into that arm pit Applela. Yeah, is that where
(08:54):
Saint Marx's. Is that in that area?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I think yeah, yeah, basically that's right in that crok
Oh is that right? Yeah, right in that corner there,
windspeed twenty seven miles an hour right now in Key.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
West, So it's already past Key West and we're going
to expect a Cat four to fly into Florida. And
this is not going to be good. This will bring
you back to Katrina. This is going to be a
really bad night for people who live in that area.
I think.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Again, the silver lining is that it's going to hit
an area that isn't very populated, so the storm surge
coming into the land isn't going to be as damaging
as far as property is concerned as it would be
on a more populated area.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Right, that's a saving grace there, silver Line.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Hurricane Helene flying in to Florida. That is going to
be a twenty foot surge. That is going to be
a nightmare for the people who live in the Panhandle
and the armpit of Florida. Really bad deal, big deal,
Cat four, Category four twenty foot surge. It's going to
(10:08):
be a mess.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Every minute that goes by brings us closer to having conditions.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
As the governor of the State of Florida.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
To having conditions that are going to be simply too
dangerous to navigate.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
The National Weather Service is using another term unsurvivable when
it comes to the storm search. Helene is expected to
unleash on parts of the Florida coast in the coming hours.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
If it's twenty.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
Feet like they're saying, it's going to change the landscape
in Franklin County. I can assure you that.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Franklin and Taylor Counties are in Helen's expected landfalls down,
but for much of Florida's Gulf Coast, mandatory evacuations have
been in place since Wednesday, with state and local officials
employing residents leave all you can.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Some people have made decisions that they're going to hunker
down even though they were they were requested to leave.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Regardless of that, the governor says, rescue cruise are stander.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
In your opinion, what percentage of people hunkered down during
a hurricane is it high? Is it in the forties fifties?
Do you think would you honker down? Have you hunkered down?
Speaker 11 (11:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I think everybody kind of takes some sort of precaution,
but I think the more established, older people that are
kind of like bring it on or they're just sort
of waiting to see it out. But like we said earlier,
this thing is so fast moving and fast growing. Even
if they had a chance to get out if they
had waited, they don't now.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
But the problem is if you leave your home and
mandatory evacuations, you can't get back for sometimes a week
or two. Yeah, oh yeah, to see your place.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It was the one that was it last year where
I knew somebody that was on the on the Gulf
coast of Florida and she she managed to stay home,
but it wrecked, it destroyed her property.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's horrible tonight. It's going to happen. It's happening. It's
in the next hour and a half. It's due to
hit land.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
If there's people that are going to be in distress,
we're going to be there to be able to assist
in those efforts.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Their message now survival.
Speaker 12 (12:04):
If you hear trees snapping around your home, treat it
like a tornado, get to an interior portion of your home,
get as low as you can.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
And silence officials warn doesn't mean safe.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
Well, that actually means, as you're in the eye of
the hurricane, all right, do not go out and survey
damage and I.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
That could be up to fifty miles wide with more
catastrophic conditions less than an hour behind it. Aleen is
expected to roar up the southeastern US, with impacts felt
as far north as DC in the days ahead. Right now,
along with Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia are under
a state of emergency. In Steinhatchie, Florida, Michael Yoshida ABC
seven Eye Witness News.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, that's a big deal, man, oh man, that's a
huge deal. I the eye of the hurricane, it's right
off the coast, right now it's probably I don't know,
maybe less than one hundred miles probably thirty or forty
miles off the coast right now. So they're looking for
that thing to land pretty quickly. And when it does,
(13:04):
you're gonna hear about it. You're gonna see it on
all the cable news stations. The weather station is their
live CNN, Fox, MSNBC. It's going to be a big
deal for Florida. All right, let's talk about UCLA here,
local story. They have their baseball field taken away from them.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Yeah, it is a strange scene out here. U CLA
baseball essentially evicted. UCLA's chancellor went to federal court last
night to try and prevent this from happening, but the
judge said that their proposal was inadequate and does not
do enough to help veterans. It's moving day for UCLA's
baseball program, but not by choice. Players and staffloaded up
(13:43):
a UCLA Athletics truck and cleared out what they could
Thursday morning.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
This is a big baseball field too. They put I
think it was ten to twenty million dollars into it.
They've got thousands of seat It looks like a really
nice beautiful minor league stadium, and now nobody can use
it because it was leased from the Veterans Administration illegally.
That property is supposed to be designed specifically and solely
(14:11):
for veterans, especially homeless veterans, and the judge got really
pissed that kids are playing baseball on that field while
there's homeless veterans walking around the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 9 (14:22):
Before the noon deadline imposed by Federal Judge David o'carter,
that's when the West Lava's police department showed up to
lock down the facility. Yellow take now surrounds Jackie Robinson Stadium,
which has been on leased land from the VA since
nineteen eighty one. New locks were placed at all entrances
and exits, all because the court believes the VA and
(14:42):
UCLA haven't done enough to house homeless veterans.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Wow, forty three years of UCLA playing baseball there and
now it's over.
Speaker 13 (14:50):
I was here for three years, homeless, trying to get
into treatment, and I couldn't because the VA was too
worried about these illegal leases. Instead of helping us out,
the police immediately show veterans away when they're here because
they don't want. I'm here interfering with the leases, so
this is a big day for us.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I hope they'll build.
Speaker 13 (15:03):
Housing for veterans here. That's what we need, we need.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
That's right. I hope they do that. That's what they
should be doing. I hope they'll build housing for veterans here.
Speaker 13 (15:09):
That's what we need. We need veterans and treatment, not
a baseball field for college students.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
He's highly motive, so's he's never once have I ever
felt like he didn't want what was best for veterans
during this whole case.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
The veterans we spoke with who live on the West
Lava campus say they'd like to see the stadium demolished
and housing built on the ten acres that currently houses
UCLA's baseball facility. There's an estimated four thousand homeless veterans
in La County, and Judge Carter's decision to terminate all
the leases at the West Lava has a goal of
ending veteran homelessness.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, they also so it's not only UCLA baseball and softball,
but it's Brentwood School. Their athletic facility, including a big pool,
is on that property, and the judge threatened Bretwood School
with filling that pool with sand over the next week
or two if they don't make a quick decision on
(16:03):
how and when to get the hell out of there.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
In a statement, u CLA said, in part, we are
disappointed with the ruling, but are complying. UCLA Athletics is
actively working to adjust operations and training.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, where are they gonna play baseball? UCLA baseball and
softball have been there for forty three years.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
As this means our students are no longer able to
access Jackie Robinson Stadium. We hope for a swift legal
resolution that lets our student athletes return to the facility.
It's deeply important to be clear on this point. UCLA
supports veterans and Judge Carter saying that UCLA can access
this facility again if they submit a proposal that makes
(16:42):
the primary focus of these ten acres veterans and not
baseball live.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
In West La.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Josh Haskell ABC seven ey Winness snooze.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's gonna be tough. That's gonna be really a big
deal over there for UCLA, the students there, especially the
baseball players. But got to think of these veterans, these
guys went men and women went there out there and
risk their lives for this country. Got to think of
them first, got to think of them first, and we
haven't for forty three years, and now we're going to again.
That is great.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We have the hurricane rolling into Florida. Keep an eye
on that. UCLA has lost their baseball facility. That's another
big story. And the roads closed down near Turner Island
because another battery fire. We remember we had one a
couple weeks ago on the way to on the fifteen
on the way to Las Vegas. That shut that road
down for a couple days. And now looks like the
road between sam Pedro and Long Beach will be shut
(17:37):
down for a couple of days as well. So if
you're going on a cruise, that ship leaves at five
or five thirty whenever it's supposed to leave, and hopefully
you're on it. Got a plan ahead, ma'am, got a
plan ahead, all right. Amy King and Nil Savadra are
going to jump off a twenty five story building all
for a good cause. It's the Universal City Hotel. I
(17:57):
believe it's the Hilton up there, they're going to do this,
and Amy King's mothers, Amy, how you.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (18:04):
Terrified?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh yeah, why'd you say yes to this? What's going
on with you? Oh?
Speaker 11 (18:09):
I don't know. They. I think that they approached this
a while ago and said, hey, would you be interested
in doing this for a good cause?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
And I said, oh yeah, and.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
They said, we don't know if it'll come together, and
then all of a sudden it came together. And now
tomorrow afternoon at three thirty, I'm going over the edge
of the Universal Hilton and repelling down twenty five stories.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Wow. So yeah, are you nervous?
Speaker 11 (18:33):
I'm scared to death.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
Okay, scared to death.
Speaker 14 (18:35):
I do.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
I don't like heights.
Speaker 11 (18:37):
And in fact, when we agreed to do it, I said,
let's go do a walk through, and so we went
up to the Universal Hilton and then we went.
Speaker 10 (18:43):
Up to the roof and I looked over the edge
and I said, oh.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Heck no, oh oh man.
Speaker 11 (18:49):
But you know what, it's for a really good cause
and it's something that I actually believe in, because, as
we all know, the homeless situation is stupid, out of
control and there's so much money being thrown at it
and they're not doing anything.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
And that's all you know, the government funding.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
They're just not doing anything because we can see it.
We'll drive around and we all see it getting worse
and worse. And Union Rescue Mission.
Speaker 10 (19:13):
Actually, oh, they're the best well, and they.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Don't take any government funding because they don't qualify for
it because they insist that their shelters are dry.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh wow, o kind I didn't know that.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Yeah, it's really it seems very backwards. But to qualify
for government funding, you have to allow people who are
drinking and using drugs into the shelters.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
And they said, no, that's.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
Not a good idea because they have families and they
have women and they have children there, and they said
that that's not the way that we want to do it.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
And so they are completely privately funded.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Now, okay, it's a great cause. By the way, you
can donate and help the cause out as well. We'll
talk about that in a second. But how are you
going to do this? What kind of apparatus is the
fire department helping you out? What are the logistics?
Speaker 11 (20:01):
So the group is over the edge and they do
these events all over the country, and so they are
professionals and they've got it set up, and as I
understand it, they will have three lines going down, so
three of us can repel at any given time.
Speaker 10 (20:17):
And they're going to give us a little.
Speaker 11 (20:19):
Kind of crash course in it before we go down,
and we get helmets, which I'm sure would help if
we fell two hundred and fifty feet. But yeah, and
we'll go down and it'll be slow and steady, and
we'll come down and do it, like I said, for
a good cause, and we're raising money and we want more.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So do they any do they use that term when
you're practicing. Do they still use the term crash course?
Speaker 11 (20:45):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 11 (20:49):
And I'm not actually jumping over off you know, the building.
Speaker 10 (20:53):
I get that calling slowly down it, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I get that. But still you're going to be passing
by a lot of you guys. And you know couples
here with their two kids from Kansas. They're in their
hotel room and all of a sudden you're outside their room.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
You know, it's gonna look like a scene out of
Batman and Robin.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
By the way, I know you're a big Dodgers fan.
The last couple of games have been excellent. And what
a season is with Otani in fifty to fifty huh?
Speaker 11 (21:20):
Well, yeah, he's he's now up to fifty six stolen
bases and it's at a game tonight.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
So we'll we'll see. And they just need the win tonight.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
To clinch that's right. They can do it at home
against the Padres and that would really stick it to
the Padres tonight.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Absolutely, And producer Ann who produces Bill Handle's show and
also Wake Up Call for Me, is not very happy
about that. She's a Padres fan, but well, forget her
because we're Dodger fan.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Okay, Well, let's screw her, all right, So let's get
back to this you're gonna do with Neils of Adra.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Yep, he's going to go over.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
I think he's repelling down at eleven, so he's going
to go a little bit before me, and then I'm
going at three.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And is it just people from my Ka Fire? Are
there other stations involved?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
There's some other iHeart stations involved. We're outing them and fundraising,
go go Team KFI and uh. And then they've got
they've got spots for like two hundred people. So if
you want to do this there is still time. You
just need to raise either donate or raise one thousand
dollars and you too could repel over the side.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Okay, Amy, I'm gonna I'm gonna say a word. I
want you to repeat it back to me. Okay, you ready, Okay,
what's the word? Okay, just don't don't say anything, Just
repeat the word I say to you and repeat it back. Okay, Okay, Ready,
here we go. No, No, that's right, that's right. When
(22:47):
they ask you to jump over the side of a building,
from now on, you can say no.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
Well, my next, my next big thing. I think if
I do this, then I to maybe go skydiving or something.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I can't leave Neil Savadris doing this. He's a he's
scared the death of heights.
Speaker 11 (23:05):
I well, he is and I am. We're we're of
the same mind on that.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
I do not like heights.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
I used to be okay with him, and as I
get older, okay, I've discovered that it makes me more
and more uncomfortable.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
But again, for a good cads got.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
To do something.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I'll take a d place who wants to back out,
I'll take their place, just so you know.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Is that right? Okay? All right, So if you want
to bail kros you'll do it.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
Well, Krazer just rains one thousand dollars and.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
You can come do it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, Yeah, that'll be easy. Yeah, it's not good. All right.
So you're gonna your Savadri's at eleven am. You're at
three point thirty pm.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Yep, And you can come by and watch if you want.
We're going to be again. It's on the Universal Hilton,
which as you're driving by on the freeway you can
probably see it. Or you can come and you can
watch this if you want. You know, we're landing down
by the pool area. I might go jump in the
pool after I get down. And I've heard serious that
it is really really fun.
Speaker 10 (24:03):
I don't know if I believe that.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, what fun? What did they tell you first? Fun
or dangerous?
Speaker 10 (24:10):
They didn't say dangerous. In fact, really they've.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Been doing this for years and years and the only
person who ever ended up at the hospital was because
of an allergic reaction to a beasting.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh okay, that's the that's the story that they're telling you.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Huh, that's what they tell us.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
I think it's very safe.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
These people know what they're doing.
Speaker 11 (24:29):
And again we're raising money for a really important thing.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I totally understand that, all right, So I don't know
if I can get there at three thirty because we
got to go on at four, but I'm gonna buzz
out much Neil panic at eleven o'clock that much.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
Well, that's great, he'll love that.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Amy, Thanks for doing it. I mean, you know a
lot of people around here bitch and complain about homeless
people all the time, but you're doing something about it.
I think you should. I think you get a nadagro
for that.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
Yeah, and thank you, and can we plug the where
you can donate? Still need money, and I know that
your listeners are super generous and they're going to help.
This is your hard earned money, and we're asking for
whatever you can.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Whatever you can give it. If it's fifty dollars.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
Or it's twenty dollars, or it's five hundred dollars. Five
hundred would be great, but you know, whatever you can give,
and it's just help one.
Speaker 10 (25:17):
The number one dot org. Just help the number one
dot org.
Speaker 11 (25:21):
And right on the homepage there's a Team iHeart button
and you click on that and then if you would
donate to Amy King because I got to beat Neil Savedra.
I got to beat him in Foundrais.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Okay, all right, just help the number one dot org yep, and.
Speaker 11 (25:35):
We are taking donations right up until we go over
the edge.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Okay, Amy I, If you don't make it, I enjoyed
working with you.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Thanks, Kim, love you too.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, I'll root for the Dodgers. You know, I don't
know who you're leaving your season seats to, but I
can always use, you know, a game, a beer and
a hot dog.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
I got to survive this playoff to coming up.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
That's right, all right, thank you for doing this. I
really appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
All right, thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
There she goes, Amy King, if you want to donate,
just j ust help h E l P the number
one dot org.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I feel like it's a missed opportunity here for the show.
I feel like we could have raised a lot more
than Neil or anybody else.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Or really yeah, sure you don't think they have access
to anything or anybody or not like you do. Man,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's between me and Crow down the versa Hilton Gravity.
It's irrelevant size. Size means nothing when it comes to gravity. Man,
you know, the big draw would have been Belli o
jumping over this.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
That's true. Would you do it?
Speaker 12 (26:40):
Bellio?
Speaker 10 (26:41):
I'd love to.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, you wouldn't do it. No, why I'm afraid of heights?
Well so are they? Steph? Would you do it? I
would do it right on. I think i'd do it
maybe next year. Really really, if they do it next year,
I'll do it. Well, yeah, because that's why I said,
me and Crow like it would be a competition. Who
can go down faster?
Speaker 12 (27:05):
You know?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah? But you guys, we got to add something more
to it, like you can eat the most nuggets on
the way down or eating ramen on the way down?
Who can finish a cup noodle from when he's faster
while we're going that's a great idea. We got to
do that. Who can finish the chili bowl on the
way down? What a typical? Like la fat? You know,
(27:27):
we're so fat to do It's like we don't just jump,
we have to eat while we're doing it. We really
need to talk to us about this. That's right, we
should have done it. There was a missed opportunity there,
and uh yeah, next year we'll do it. We'll do
it next year, Crozier will do it, and Steph Bouche
will do it. Belly and I will bring the chili.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, you get one ball at the top and one
bowl at the bottom, Double bulls.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We have the hurricane that's about to hit Florida and
somebody sent me this. Somebody emailed me this that said
the top four hurricane songs. You know, because we're talking
about a hurricane, and you know, they say play these
songs as an intro when you talk about the hurricane.
So I'm gonna playing for you. You decide which one
(28:20):
you like. The first one is Christopher Cross Ride Like
the Wind. That's a pretty good song.
Speaker 14 (28:28):
Right about sleep, I'm on the Run, No.
Speaker 11 (28:42):
Tam Sleep.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Quan sort of a hurricane song. I think the Door is,
Rider of the Storm is a is a great one
is on the Stone, Riders on the Stone and I
(29:07):
beat that in Kim this aus in to this world
win Hell, I know what you're gonna go to. Oh
I knew you would just a click and mail out
your girl Bridget Meddler with Hurricane. I know you love this.
Speaker 15 (29:27):
I think the crowds are clogging up the brain like
the wather drain, same as the tears of paste and
a stick up and the stone up again.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So be a good luck, Charlie.
Speaker 15 (29:40):
And it hits me like oh no, And you're that
wind that swept me off for feat Chap with Flyin
until I'm crying and I'm down on my Nike East
That's what thought. He was afraid up the sneaky to native.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I like this, sup, there's no place like.
Speaker 15 (30:06):
I'm by the window pole loss upon.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
He smiles. All right, that's Bridget Medler, and this has
got to be this song when you talk about hurricane.
Three bodies lying there.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
This's Petty Seat and another man named Bill went around mysteriously.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I didn't do that, he says, and he tows up
his hands.
Speaker 15 (30:39):
I was only rounding the registered I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I sort of leaving, he.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Said, And it stops. One of us had better call
up the cuffs.
Speaker 13 (30:50):
And so Petty calls the cuffs.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
And the writing of the scene with their red light
slash and a pop you Jersey Knight.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, well, Bob Dylan, not really about a hurricane. But
I got it.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I got it right, all right, man, you can't use
the s word on the air anymore. What happened? What
happened to us? All right, there's the songs. We're going
to keep an eye on that. The hurricane is a
big story. We missed the obvious one. Oh the r
O Speedwagon song. Yeah, you know, I had that one
(31:36):
cute up, but I didn't think anyone knew it. Do
you think that's a popular songs, like one of their
biggest songs? Really?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yeah, I didn't even know that second one that you played, Oh,
the Bridget Medler one.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I had heard that before. She's good, She's from Good Luck,
Charlie shows up. My daughter used to watch all the
time Sitcom over Disney, I believe. All right, Well, we'll
crank up the rio when we go on. Man, we'll
check that one out. Very good. We're covering all the
stories here, Turn Island, traffic, the storm in Florida. We
got it all covered here on KFI AM six forty
(32:07):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio 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 iHeartRadio app,
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We got
that fire burning at Terminal Island that's gonna go on
for days. It's one of another one of those lithium
battery fires. Truck overturned, probably going too fast, probably making
a left hand turn, going too fast and falls over.
(00:23):
They should have a speed limit on those trucks ten
miles an hour max. And you're if you're in a
populated area, ten miles an hour, because now that whole
area is gonna be shut down for three or four days,
and those truckers and that's going to screw up their
entire weekend. You know, they won't be able to spend
time with their kids because now this guy flipped over.
(00:44):
I don't know what you do with a with a
battery fire. How do you put it out? You just
put a bunch put a bunch of throw a bunch
of charge cords at it, drain the energy. I don't out.
Can't put water on it. It's not gonna put it out. Yeah,
somebody said that. The fire department said, you can't put
water on It's not gonna put it out like ground.
What do you do throw battery? I don't know, other
(01:05):
batteries at it. I don't know how you put it out,
explode it. There's got to be a subdivide.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
To use foam CO two dry chemical graphie. They have
a few things, but it's all kind of odd stuff.
They say, soda like sodium carbonate.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Is that right? Are we an update on this huge
battery fire out there? Bad vibes man.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I are continuing to burn the truck hauling lithium ion batteries,
which is a very difficult type of fire to fight,
infect water and foam.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
By the way, this is out a terminal island between
sam Pedro and Long Beach.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Do no good here, but they are trying to assess
the situation and figure out what their next steps are.
But this has been burning for about five hours now,
and really they have been very hesitant to even approach
that vehicle for obvious reasons. A very flammable and combustible
situation right there at the intersection of Navy Way and
the forty seven Freeways, which is technically the Harbor Freeway,
(01:59):
not to be confused with the one ten, which does
lead to the Vincent Thomas bridge. That Vincent Thomas Bridge
right now is shut down as we speak on Some
of the trucks that remain on Terminal Island here are
now being allowed to cross over the bridge to get
off of Terminal Island. Also, the Gateway bridge is basically
shut down as well, so this is really eliminated.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, they got to change the name of that from
Terminal Island. I think that gives them a bad vibe
out there too. Death Island.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
By the way, there's two different kinds of lithium batteries.
There are lithium ion batteries and regular lithium metal batteries.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
What is this? I don't know. I was hoping you'd
tell me. Oh, yeah, it's what did you say, the first.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
One lithium ion.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's lithium metal. Now it's the first one.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It says lithium ion can be doused with water.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh, then throw water on it. They got plenty of
water down there in Long Beach, tampedro tons of it.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Terminal Island as a thoroughfare this afternoon, which is really
small traffic for the past five hours, and no really
no end in sight in terms of when they're going
to get this fire put out. Reporting live from the
Ore seven. I'm Christy ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I would do yeah, Chris, really quick. This could affect
I mean, this is a major port, an economic port
for the for the entire country, if not just southern California. Right,
a lot of cargo flowing through there is this affecting
the unloading of containers and the shipping of containers out
of the Port of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It has really tied up these cargo trucks. Mark, as
you could see, there's a ship right there in port,
and over to the left there is a whole line
of trucks coming from that ship that have picked up
their containers and are basically just stuck in traffic as
they make their way through this intersection.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And if your dad or your brother, your husband I
don't know, mom, and I don't know, is a truck
driver and that, and they're in that area, they are
going to have a long day. You know. Don't bother
him when he gets home, right, don't bother him. Yeah,
if he's three or four hours late, have a crack
of beer, open, throw on ESPN and let him breathe
for a little while. When he gets home.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Earlier, you could see over here down they are the
bottom rockers where those trucks are. But this line of
trucks right here Mark was about a mile long earlier
this afternoon. Fortunately they have figured out a way to
detour this truck traffic.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, for the truckers down that area. I know you're
listening to KFI because anytime there's any kind of balls
up that we call it here in the newsroom, always
KFI is on it. KFI is always on it, always
on it.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
To get these drivers.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, we heard that last night, Croje. I mean,
I know you're not doubting me, but we had the
Chief Fantasy on, Brian Fantasy from the Orange County Fire Authority,
and he said he flew into town when those firefighters
I think it was nineteen of them I got flipped
over and injured in that horrible accident off the two
forty one. He said, the first thing he did when
(04:43):
he landed, he turned on KFI. And we were talking
about it. Indeed, yes, it makes sense to turn on
KFI whenever there's a problem, and we'll take care of it.
Help you out here to.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Get these drivers over the Vincent Thomas Bridge. But you're right,
this is really tying up the sport situation here at
the port.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, it's horrible, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Chris Christine here seven also breaking right now. I like
how a da George Gascone announcing a new twenty five
count grand jury indictment. Yes, Pathless Iron and Metal Corporation
and its owners Gascon initially.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh man, lots going on, all right, Let's get back
to Hodah. She's leaving NBC and she's broken up about it.
She's got two she's sixty, so she's you know, put
in her time and that weren't working in the mornings
like that. That's a young bird's game. Man. As you
get older, your body does not do well with that. Yeah.
(05:36):
A friend of mine, a guy named Jack Silver, he
produced the Rick D's show Rick D's in the Morning.
Tell us what Tom it is?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That show? He worked on it for seven years and
he said he was tired every second of the day
for seven years. Do you ever work morning shift?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
CROs Oh my god, yess. I did overnights mostly but exhausting.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Absolutely. Michelle Cube talks about it all the time.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Working with a handle as long as she did, and yeah,
there was a period where she got out of having
to get in to come in so early, and she
was very happy, and then she had to go back
in and now she's.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh, yeah, it's tough, man, it is tough. Can't get bye.
This is a Hoda what's her last name? Couldt me Cotby,
cot me interesting coppy?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
All can't get better? And I decided that this is
this is the right.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Time for me to She's leaving the Today Show to
kind of move on.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
And then I thought.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
About all stuffed up too, she's really emotional, move on.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
And then I thought about, well, obviously I had my
kiddos late in life, and I was thinking that they
deserve a bigger piece of my of my time pie.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
That I have.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
I feel like we only have a finite amount of time.
And so with all that being said, this is the
hardest thing in the world, because just just today I
was looking at my phone and oh, you guys are
holding my.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Kids, and I was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I kept looking at them all the pictures anyway, but
I'm not I'm going to be here through the rest
of the year, past the first of the year.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh, I thought she was leaving today that emotions for
New Year's Tito hand me a tissue, and.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I'm going to stay in the NBC family. But it's
kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
So sorry, I wasn't.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I seriously, I've been practicing, so I wouldn't anywhere I did.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Ah, too bad. Yeah, she's got two young kids, a
five year old, I believe in a seven year old.
So she's going to move out to the Sticks. She
bought a big house, four thousand square feet, four bedroom,
five bathrooms, really nice where I don't know, somewhere outside
from State New York. No, oh, maybe it is, stay
(07:51):
up there. Maybe it is. I don't know. I just
assumed it was upstate New York, but maybe not. But
she's leaving the big city. She's doing like the opposite
of the Beverly Hillbillies. You know, they moved from you know,
the the Sticks to Beverly Hills. She's moving from the
city to the Sticks. So the opposite of the Beverly
(08:13):
Hill Billies. All right, Ding dong with her, Hoda New
Year's that's a wrap for Hoda on and weish her
luck with those kids. UCLA has got to get out
of their baseball field. That's a big story on the
West Side Brentwood. They're recreational or sports facility is there too,
so they got to shut that down or they're going
(08:33):
to shut that down. And the hazmat team. We've been
talking about a terminal island. That's a big deal. And
the big story nationally is this hurricane ten to twenty
foot surge right as Crozier calls it, the armpit of Florida,
right into that arm pit Applela. Yeah, is that where
(08:54):
Saint Marx's. Is that in that area?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I think yeah, yeah, basically that's right in that crok
Oh is that right? Yeah, right in that corner there,
windspeed twenty seven miles an hour right now in Key.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
West, So it's already past Key West and we're going
to expect a Cat four to fly into Florida. And
this is not going to be good. This will bring
you back to Katrina. This is going to be a
really bad night for people who live in that area.
I think.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Again, the silver lining is that it's going to hit
an area that isn't very populated, so the storm surge
coming into the land isn't going to be as damaging
as far as property is concerned as it would be
on a more populated area.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Right, that's a saving grace there, silver Line.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Hurricane Helene flying in to Florida. That is going to
be a twenty foot surge. That is going to be
a nightmare for the people who live in the Panhandle
and the armpit of Florida. Really bad deal, big deal,
Cat four, Category four twenty foot surge. It's going to
(10:08):
be a mess.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Every minute that goes by brings us closer to having conditions.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
As the governor of the State of Florida.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
To having conditions that are going to be simply too
dangerous to navigate.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
The National Weather Service is using another term unsurvivable when
it comes to the storm search. Helene is expected to
unleash on parts of the Florida coast in the coming hours.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
If it's twenty.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
Feet like they're saying, it's going to change the landscape
in Franklin County. I can assure you that.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Franklin and Taylor Counties are in Helen's expected landfalls down,
but for much of Florida's Gulf Coast, mandatory evacuations have
been in place since Wednesday, with state and local officials
employing residents leave all you can.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Some people have made decisions that they're going to hunker
down even though they were they were requested to leave.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Regardless of that, the governor says, rescue cruise are stander.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
In your opinion, what percentage of people hunkered down during
a hurricane is it high? Is it in the forties fifties?
Do you think would you honker down? Have you hunkered down?
Speaker 11 (11:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I think everybody kind of takes some sort of precaution,
but I think the more established, older people that are
kind of like bring it on or they're just sort
of waiting to see it out. But like we said earlier,
this thing is so fast moving and fast growing. Even
if they had a chance to get out if they
had waited, they don't now.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
But the problem is if you leave your home and
mandatory evacuations, you can't get back for sometimes a week
or two. Yeah, oh yeah, to see your place.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It was the one that was it last year where
I knew somebody that was on the on the Gulf
coast of Florida and she she managed to stay home,
but it wrecked, it destroyed her property.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's horrible tonight. It's going to happen. It's happening. It's
in the next hour and a half. It's due to
hit land.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
If there's people that are going to be in distress,
we're going to be there to be able to assist
in those efforts.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Their message now survival.
Speaker 12 (12:04):
If you hear trees snapping around your home, treat it
like a tornado, get to an interior portion of your home,
get as low as you can.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
And silence officials warn doesn't mean safe.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
Well, that actually means, as you're in the eye of
the hurricane, all right, do not go out and survey
damage and I.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
That could be up to fifty miles wide with more
catastrophic conditions less than an hour behind it. Aleen is
expected to roar up the southeastern US, with impacts felt
as far north as DC in the days ahead. Right now,
along with Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia are under
a state of emergency. In Steinhatchie, Florida, Michael Yoshida ABC
seven Eye Witness News.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, that's a big deal, man, oh man, that's a
huge deal. I the eye of the hurricane, it's right
off the coast, right now it's probably I don't know,
maybe less than one hundred miles probably thirty or forty
miles off the coast right now. So they're looking for
that thing to land pretty quickly. And when it does,
(13:04):
you're gonna hear about it. You're gonna see it on
all the cable news stations. The weather station is their
live CNN, Fox, MSNBC. It's going to be a big
deal for Florida. All right, let's talk about UCLA here,
local story. They have their baseball field taken away from them.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Yeah, it is a strange scene out here. U CLA
baseball essentially evicted. UCLA's chancellor went to federal court last
night to try and prevent this from happening, but the
judge said that their proposal was inadequate and does not
do enough to help veterans. It's moving day for UCLA's
baseball program, but not by choice. Players and staffloaded up
(13:43):
a UCLA Athletics truck and cleared out what they could
Thursday morning.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
This is a big baseball field too. They put I
think it was ten to twenty million dollars into it.
They've got thousands of seat It looks like a really
nice beautiful minor league stadium, and now nobody can use
it because it was leased from the Veterans Administration illegally.
That property is supposed to be designed specifically and solely
(14:11):
for veterans, especially homeless veterans, and the judge got really
pissed that kids are playing baseball on that field while
there's homeless veterans walking around the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 9 (14:22):
Before the noon deadline imposed by Federal Judge David o'carter,
that's when the West Lava's police department showed up to
lock down the facility. Yellow take now surrounds Jackie Robinson Stadium,
which has been on leased land from the VA since
nineteen eighty one. New locks were placed at all entrances
and exits, all because the court believes the VA and
(14:42):
UCLA haven't done enough to house homeless veterans.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Wow, forty three years of UCLA playing baseball there and
now it's over.
Speaker 13 (14:50):
I was here for three years, homeless, trying to get
into treatment, and I couldn't because the VA was too
worried about these illegal leases. Instead of helping us out,
the police immediately show veterans away when they're here because
they don't want. I'm here interfering with the leases, so
this is a big day for us.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I hope they'll build.
Speaker 13 (15:03):
Housing for veterans here. That's what we need, we need.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
That's right. I hope they do that. That's what they
should be doing. I hope they'll build housing for veterans here.
Speaker 13 (15:09):
That's what we need. We need veterans and treatment, not
a baseball field for college students.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
He's highly motive, so's he's never once have I ever
felt like he didn't want what was best for veterans
during this whole case.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
The veterans we spoke with who live on the West
Lava campus say they'd like to see the stadium demolished
and housing built on the ten acres that currently houses
UCLA's baseball facility. There's an estimated four thousand homeless veterans
in La County, and Judge Carter's decision to terminate all
the leases at the West Lava has a goal of
ending veteran homelessness.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, they also so it's not only UCLA baseball and softball,
but it's Brentwood School. Their athletic facility, including a big pool,
is on that property, and the judge threatened Bretwood School
with filling that pool with sand over the next week
or two if they don't make a quick decision on
(16:03):
how and when to get the hell out of there.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
In a statement, u CLA said, in part, we are
disappointed with the ruling, but are complying. UCLA Athletics is
actively working to adjust operations and training.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, where are they gonna play baseball? UCLA baseball and
softball have been there for forty three years.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
As this means our students are no longer able to
access Jackie Robinson Stadium. We hope for a swift legal
resolution that lets our student athletes return to the facility.
It's deeply important to be clear on this point. UCLA
supports veterans and Judge Carter saying that UCLA can access
this facility again if they submit a proposal that makes
(16:42):
the primary focus of these ten acres veterans and not
baseball live.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
In West La.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Josh Haskell ABC seven ey Winness snooze.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's gonna be tough. That's gonna be really a big
deal over there for UCLA, the students there, especially the
baseball players. But got to think of these veterans, these
guys went men and women went there out there and
risk their lives for this country. Got to think of
them first, got to think of them first, and we
haven't for forty three years, and now we're going to again.
That is great.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We have the hurricane rolling into Florida. Keep an eye
on that. UCLA has lost their baseball facility. That's another
big story. And the roads closed down near Turner Island
because another battery fire. We remember we had one a
couple weeks ago on the way to on the fifteen
on the way to Las Vegas. That shut that road
down for a couple days. And now looks like the
road between sam Pedro and Long Beach will be shut
(17:37):
down for a couple of days as well. So if
you're going on a cruise, that ship leaves at five
or five thirty whenever it's supposed to leave, and hopefully
you're on it. Got a plan ahead, ma'am, got a
plan ahead, all right. Amy King and Nil Savadra are
going to jump off a twenty five story building all
for a good cause. It's the Universal City Hotel. I
(17:57):
believe it's the Hilton up there, they're going to do this,
and Amy King's mothers, Amy, how you.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (18:04):
Terrified?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh yeah, why'd you say yes to this? What's going
on with you? Oh?
Speaker 11 (18:09):
I don't know. They. I think that they approached this
a while ago and said, hey, would you be interested
in doing this for a good cause?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
And I said, oh yeah, and.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
They said, we don't know if it'll come together, and
then all of a sudden it came together. And now
tomorrow afternoon at three thirty, I'm going over the edge
of the Universal Hilton and repelling down twenty five stories.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Wow. So yeah, are you nervous?
Speaker 11 (18:33):
I'm scared to death.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
Okay, scared to death.
Speaker 14 (18:35):
I do.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
I don't like heights.
Speaker 11 (18:37):
And in fact, when we agreed to do it, I said,
let's go do a walk through, and so we went
up to the Universal Hilton and then we went.
Speaker 10 (18:43):
Up to the roof and I looked over the edge
and I said, oh.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Heck no, oh oh man.
Speaker 11 (18:49):
But you know what, it's for a really good cause
and it's something that I actually believe in, because, as
we all know, the homeless situation is stupid, out of
control and there's so much money being thrown at it
and they're not doing anything.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
And that's all you know, the government funding.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
They're just not doing anything because we can see it.
We'll drive around and we all see it getting worse
and worse. And Union Rescue Mission.
Speaker 10 (19:13):
Actually, oh, they're the best well, and they.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Don't take any government funding because they don't qualify for
it because they insist that their shelters are dry.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh wow, o kind I didn't know that.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Yeah, it's really it seems very backwards. But to qualify
for government funding, you have to allow people who are
drinking and using drugs into the shelters.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
And they said, no, that's.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
Not a good idea because they have families and they
have women and they have children there, and they said
that that's not the way that we want to do it.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
And so they are completely privately funded.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Now, okay, it's a great cause. By the way, you
can donate and help the cause out as well. We'll
talk about that in a second. But how are you
going to do this? What kind of apparatus is the
fire department helping you out? What are the logistics?
Speaker 11 (20:01):
So the group is over the edge and they do
these events all over the country, and so they are
professionals and they've got it set up, and as I
understand it, they will have three lines going down, so
three of us can repel at any given time.
Speaker 10 (20:17):
And they're going to give us a little.
Speaker 11 (20:19):
Kind of crash course in it before we go down,
and we get helmets, which I'm sure would help if
we fell two hundred and fifty feet. But yeah, and
we'll go down and it'll be slow and steady, and
we'll come down and do it, like I said, for
a good cause, and we're raising money and we want more.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So do they any do they use that term when
you're practicing. Do they still use the term crash course?
Speaker 11 (20:45):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 11 (20:49):
And I'm not actually jumping over off you know, the building.
Speaker 10 (20:53):
I get that calling slowly down it, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I get that. But still you're going to be passing
by a lot of you guys. And you know couples
here with their two kids from Kansas. They're in their
hotel room and all of a sudden you're outside their room.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
You know, it's gonna look like a scene out of
Batman and Robin.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
By the way, I know you're a big Dodgers fan.
The last couple of games have been excellent. And what
a season is with Otani in fifty to fifty huh?
Speaker 11 (21:20):
Well, yeah, he's he's now up to fifty six stolen
bases and it's at a game tonight.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
So we'll we'll see. And they just need the win tonight.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
To clinch that's right. They can do it at home
against the Padres and that would really stick it to
the Padres tonight.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Absolutely, And producer Ann who produces Bill Handle's show and
also Wake Up Call for Me, is not very happy
about that. She's a Padres fan, but well, forget her
because we're Dodger fan.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Okay, Well, let's screw her, all right, So let's get
back to this you're gonna do with Neils of Adra.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Yep, he's going to go over.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
I think he's repelling down at eleven, so he's going
to go a little bit before me, and then I'm
going at three.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And is it just people from my Ka Fire? Are
there other stations involved?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
There's some other iHeart stations involved. We're outing them and fundraising,
go go Team KFI and uh. And then they've got
they've got spots for like two hundred people. So if
you want to do this there is still time. You
just need to raise either donate or raise one thousand
dollars and you too could repel over the side.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Okay, Amy, I'm gonna I'm gonna say a word. I
want you to repeat it back to me. Okay, you ready, Okay,
what's the word? Okay, just don't don't say anything, Just
repeat the word I say to you and repeat it back. Okay, Okay, Ready,
here we go. No, No, that's right, that's right. When
(22:47):
they ask you to jump over the side of a building,
from now on, you can say no.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
Well, my next, my next big thing. I think if
I do this, then I to maybe go skydiving or something.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I can't leave Neil Savadris doing this. He's a he's
scared the death of heights.
Speaker 11 (23:05):
I well, he is and I am. We're we're of
the same mind on that.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
I do not like heights.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
I used to be okay with him, and as I
get older, okay, I've discovered that it makes me more
and more uncomfortable.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
But again, for a good cads got.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
To do something.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I'll take a d place who wants to back out,
I'll take their place, just so you know.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Is that right? Okay? All right, So if you want
to bail kros you'll do it.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
Well, Krazer just rains one thousand dollars and.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
You can come do it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, Yeah, that'll be easy. Yeah, it's not good. All right.
So you're gonna your Savadri's at eleven am. You're at
three point thirty pm.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Yep, And you can come by and watch if you want.
We're going to be again. It's on the Universal Hilton,
which as you're driving by on the freeway you can
probably see it. Or you can come and you can
watch this if you want. You know, we're landing down
by the pool area. I might go jump in the
pool after I get down. And I've heard serious that
it is really really fun.
Speaker 10 (24:03):
I don't know if I believe that.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, what fun? What did they tell you first? Fun
or dangerous?
Speaker 10 (24:10):
They didn't say dangerous. In fact, really they've.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Been doing this for years and years and the only
person who ever ended up at the hospital was because
of an allergic reaction to a beasting.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh okay, that's the that's the story that they're telling you.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Huh, that's what they tell us.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
I think it's very safe.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
These people know what they're doing.
Speaker 11 (24:29):
And again we're raising money for a really important thing.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I totally understand that, all right, So I don't know
if I can get there at three thirty because we
got to go on at four, but I'm gonna buzz
out much Neil panic at eleven o'clock that much.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
Well, that's great, he'll love that.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Amy, Thanks for doing it. I mean, you know a
lot of people around here bitch and complain about homeless
people all the time, but you're doing something about it.
I think you should. I think you get a nadagro
for that.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
Yeah, and thank you, and can we plug the where
you can donate? Still need money, and I know that
your listeners are super generous and they're going to help.
This is your hard earned money, and we're asking for
whatever you can.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Whatever you can give it. If it's fifty dollars.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
Or it's twenty dollars, or it's five hundred dollars. Five
hundred would be great, but you know, whatever you can give,
and it's just help one.
Speaker 10 (25:17):

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Okay, Amy I, If you don't make it, I enjoyed
working with you.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Thanks, Kim, love you too.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, I'll root for the Dodgers. You know, I don't

a hot dog.
Speaker 10 (25:56):

Speaker 1 (26:04):
There she goes, Amy King, if you want to donate,
just j ust help h E l P the number

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I feel like it's a missed opportunity here for the show.
I feel like we could have raised a lot more
than Neil or anybody else.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Or really yeah, sure you don't think they have access
to anything or anybody or not like you do. Man,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's between me and Crow down the versa Hilton Gravity.
It's irrelevant size. Size means nothing when it comes to gravity. Man,
you know, the big draw would have been Belli o
jumping over this.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
That's true. Would you do it?
Speaker 12 (26:40):
Bellio?
Speaker 10 (26:41):
I'd love to.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, you wouldn't do it. No, why I'm afraid of heights?
Well so are they? Steph? Would you do it? I
would do it right on. I think i'd do it
maybe next year. Really really, if they do it next year,
I'll do it. Well, yeah, because that's why I said,
me and Crow like it would be a competition. Who
can go down faster?
Speaker 12 (27:05):
You know?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah? But you guys, we got to add something more
to it, like you can eat the most nuggets on
the way down or eating ramen on the way down?
Who can finish a cup noodle from when he's faster
while we're going that's a great idea. We got to
do that. Who can finish the chili bowl on the
way down? What a typical? Like la fat? You know,
(27:27):
we're so fat to do It's like we don't just jump,
we have to eat while we're doing it. We really
need to talk to us about this. That's right, we
should have done it. There was a missed opportunity there,
and uh yeah, next year we'll do it. We'll do
it next year, Crozier will do it, and Steph Bouche
will do it. Belly and I will bring the chili.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, you get one ball at the top and one
bowl at the bottom, Double bulls.
