Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Hey, do you
are you familiar with the plague called Guys and Dolls?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Croje? Are you familiar with it? I was in it
my senior year of high school.
Speaker 2 (00:14):

Oh? No mind? What is it about? It's about horse racing.
It's about horse racing. It's about gambling. It's about gus
dolls and how.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
We how the fair sex, you know, deals with the
with the stronger sex in the in the midst of
life and gambling and men being men.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay, well, there's a production of it somewhere in La
Really y's at the Altadena Theater Altadena Music Theater, and
they wanted me to you know, you know the part
it Act one, scene three. If you're familiar with it,
I'm sure you are because you're in it. Yeah, where
there's a where Nathan makes a phone call. I was
(00:56):
Nathan Detroit, you were, I was, okay, Well, they want
me to be, and you'd be Nathan at least in
that or in that scene where they call the about
the crap game. Wow, So maybe we can record it
on the show so I don't have to do it
in private.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They wanted me to record it and send it to them,
and I said no because I say note everything, because
I'm you know, I like to drink when I get home, and.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
No reading once you start drinking. Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
But I guess we can do it after six thirty
if we do it on the air, can I just
send him fellow, I can send them that audio.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
You know, our very own Will Coldschreiber is playing the
part of Lieutenant Brannigan in this Guys and Dolls at
the Altadina Music Center.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Really yeah, Okay, how long is the run?
Speaker 7 (01:47):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
That's what I call the length. We call it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I didn't know your LUs Thespians call it a run.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Oh, a run?
Speaker 8 (01:55):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I'm not sure. I believe it opens October tenth, though.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh, he'll be part of it. I'll be part of it.
I can't wait. All right, the bullet train Las Vegas
to California.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Let's find out when this soucker is going to be done.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
Rebillion dollar grants has been approved to continue construction on
high speed rail service between Nevada and California. The Nevada
Department of Transportation says it received the federal grant for
the bright Line West project. The bright Line West is
working to build a high speed rail line that connects
Las Vegas and Los Angeles. It's expected passengers would be
able to make that trip in a little more than
(02:30):
two hours.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well what is it now, I mean from Crozier from
Ontario to Vegas?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Is that a three hour drive? Can you get there
in three hours?
Speaker 9 (02:39):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, well, now it's.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Going to be two That's about half the time it
takes to travel that distance by car.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, with traffic maybe. Okay.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
The goal is to have the trains running by the
summer of twenty twenty eight, that is when Los Angeles
will be hosting the Olympic Games.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh great, okay, so people can watch the games during
the day and gamble at night.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
There you go. All right, let's talk about DirecTV.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I don't know if you have Direct TV or if
you have a dish network, but if you have either,
now you're going to have both.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
DirecTV will pay dishes owner Ecostar just one dollar in
exchange for assuming billions of dollars in debt.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Oh, that's the routine. Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So like when Newsweeks sold Newsweek, the magazine sold for
a dollar and whatever whoever bought it just assumed all
the liability it comes with it. So Dish is going
to be direct TV. DirecTV is going to be Dish.
It's all going to be one big network.
Speaker 10 (03:35):
If the companies combined, the new service will have about
twenty million subscribers at its peak. At twenty fifteen, DirecTV
had twenty million subscribers alone. Both companies have struggled to
keep customers as streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime
Video have gained traction. US government previously blocked a proposed
nineteen billion dollar merger in two thousand and two on
(03:56):
competitive grounds.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I think they'll let this go through because WI
she's not doing well, not doing well at all. Billions
and billions in dead so they'll probably let it go.
Bel Air, nice city, beautiful town, beautiful, very expensive place
to live. And now we got taggers in the area.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Tagger.
Speaker 11 (04:15):
This newly ventalized mansion has been on the market for years. Earlier,
we spoke to the realtor who told us that security
does come by to checking it twice a day, and
on Thursday, that's when the vandalism was discovered. We spoke
to the realtor broker of the property, who confirmed one
of the owners is Ibraham bin Lauden, who's the half
brother of Osama bin Lauden.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Says November six, twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Wow, Osama bin Laden's brother still has a home in Brentwood.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (04:47):
The realtor says. The mansion has been vacant for twenty
five years. There was a property manager, but I.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Wonder if he's tired about asking answering questions about his brothers.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
You know, kay, ask you by your brother?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh god, yeah, he didn't like him either, All right.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Go ahead, go ahead. So what was he like? What
did he? Was he a breakfast guy? What was what
was he like on weekends? He sleeping? Like pancakes are
waffle sweet?
Speaker 8 (05:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Was he sweet or salty? Salty on breakfast? Is he
like a bacon guy or more of a pancake?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Did he like breakfast for dinner?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (05:26):
The realtor says, the mansion has been vacant for twenty
five years.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh, what is that?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right, somebody's got some money to keep a mansion vacant
for twenty five years.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
The realtor says, the mansion has been vacant for twenty
five years. There was a property manager, but that person
got sick and left four years ago. Wow, it's been
on the market on and off for about three and
a half years.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So Osama Bin Lawton's half brother owns this property. And
this guy's half brother is Osama Bin Laden.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He's a loser.
Speaker 11 (06:00):
Adam Latham learned about the owner.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The strictest definition of that term. By the way, he's
a loser.
Speaker 11 (06:05):
Adam Latham learned about the owner when he was hired
to photograph the property.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
It was pretty strange, and I was slightly concerned as
to whether I should mention it to any of my
clients because it was a bit awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Latham never a bit awkward. Osama Bidlin's brother owns the place.
How do you bring that up?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It was a bit awkward, Yeah, very awkward.
Speaker 11 (06:25):
Latham never imagined the two and a half acre property
across the street from the famous bel Air hotel.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh, right across the street. Wow, that's you'd be beautiful
property there.
Speaker 11 (06:33):
Would draw headlines after two other LA mansions and the
unfinished towers in downtown LA gained attention for vandalism.
Speaker 12 (06:41):
Is quite shocking because I'm not against street todds or graffiti,
but on residential structures where people.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I love this guy in this day and age, he
has to he has to come out and say he's
not against tagging, not really against it.
Speaker 12 (06:57):
You know, I'm not against street todge of graffiti.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, you know, I'm not really against it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But to desecrate the entire house here across from the
bel Air Hotel, h not into it.
Speaker 12 (07:13):
On residential structures where people own and live.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, that's the whole different thing that is, you can't
be into that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, look, this guy's got a pretty deep threshold for crazy.
He's dealing with Osama bin Laden's half brother, who has
a house hasn't been in twenty five years.
Speaker 11 (07:31):
The LPD says. Officers were called here on Friday after
a man broke in.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But I love that this English guy who's selling this house,
like the second most The first craziest thing about that
house is the tagging. The second is that Osama bin
Laden knowns it. That's wild.
Speaker 11 (07:49):
The LPD says officers were called here on Friday after
a man broke in, but the property manager didn't want
to follow a report, so no arrest. The realtor says
that there is at least a one offer on the
table for the property that is listed for twenty one
and a half a million dollars. The plan is to
tear it down to make way for something new.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
If you now that it's out, There's no way I
would live in that home because people now know that
the relation.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, you never have a night's piece, I know.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And anytime you heard something in the bushes like, oh,
they think I'm Osama ban Load.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Every time you hear any noise.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Oh, you'd have to just have a speaker outside. Twenty
four hours a day. I'm not Osama bin Laden. And
he doesn't live here, and Norah does his family. I'm
not Osama bin Laden, you know, twenty four hours a
day like like the UH, like the recording at LAX.
The white zone is immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Do not leave your bags NOD.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
When I was a kid, my dad told me that
that they were doing that live and I bought it.
Like so, a guy sits in the room every time
twenty seconds he does that. He goes, yeah, yeah, he
does that every twenty seconds, Like what a job. The
hands it off after eight hours? Is somebody else? The
white zone is formediate loading and unloading of passengers only
no parking. Your dad told you this, Yeah, he told me.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
He's live.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
How many times your dad told you something? It turned
away and just rolled his eyes right.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, I think he had a pretty you know, easy
audience with me, you know, a pretty dopey kid, pretty
easy mark with me.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
You know. All right, we are live.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
When we come back at after six thirty, are you
going to do this, Crozy?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
We're going to do this together, this guys and dolls.
Let's make it happen. All right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'll be I'm Joey's voice, and you're Nathan Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:40):

This is great.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I like to go see it just to hear, you know,
just to see who is playing Nathan, because you're the natural. Yes,
you know whoever's playing it is like secondary, that's great, Croz.
You should be in this thing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Hell, hell are everybody else in the stations in huh?
You should be. We should do a KFI presentation.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
At one of these one of these plays, Tony, you
do it right, you'd be in this thing guys and dolls.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You didn't even get the sentence out.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He's no, A said no, uh, Bellio, you'd be in

Speaker 6 (10:24):
I want to be Nathan.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well, after six three, we'll do it.
Speaker 13 (10:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
We got breaking news out of Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Cops are out there, no good shots fired in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Massive responsor by LAPD here after reports of shots fired.
People said they heard gun shots but they didn't see
any guns being fired here on the six hundred block
up to Penga Canyon, and so LAPD is gathered now in.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I think that's the Panga near Burbank, right out where
there's a Denny's there right near the one on one up.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
To Penga Canyon, and LAPED has gathered now in Masson.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Rough area, rough area out there, Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Lot of crime, people breaking into homes out there, rough
rough neighborhood out.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
There up to Panga Canyon, and so LAPD has gathered
now in mass and they're actually going into this building
right here. Looks like they're going Unity unit in small
teams trying to clear the entire apartment complex and see
if they can find where that gunfire may have possibly
come from over here in the alley as well. And
to do all of this they have to pang a
canyon completely shut down.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's Topanga Canyon shut down just north of the one
oh one freeway there before you get to Topanga Plaza,
and uh, there's an Rby's there and if it's still there, maybe.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Completely shut down. Between Burbank and Ox start, so that's
gonna be a pretty big traffic implication. Big groups of
people all right here. Might have been some people in
the apartment.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Cost somebody was shocked. Do you hear then start, So.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That's gonna be a pretty big traffic implication.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Then what.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Burbank and Ox start, So that's gonna be pretty traffic implication,
Like Hellia, big groups of people all right here. But
I have been some people in the apartment complex. So
no reports of any injuries or anyone being hit by gunfire,
but someone hurt four or five gun shots and LPED
is taking this very seriously live at sky Caliberhead. I've
Destmond shop hat back.
Speaker 14 (12:16):
Thanks for that report and looking forward to the update desk.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, Desmond Shaw out there and how are the cops responding?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
How are they handling it?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And LPED is taking this very seriously, very seriously, very seriously.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Uh, most parts of the city here gunshots and they're like, yeah,
calls back, if anyone's down, Buddy Woodland Hill's man, they
get attention out there, they get attention. Line fire, update
on the line fire in San Bernardino Mountains.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
What's happening out there?
Speaker 15 (12:44):
This is an extremely fluid situation. In the past thirty
minutes or so, we just learned that Angelus Oaks, which
was under an evacuation warning, is now under an evacuation
order and we are starting to see more ash come
down through this area. Now again, as you both said,
I'm at the Big Bear dam We've seen several crew
several helicopters.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh it's a big Bear Damn. That's closed the Big Bear.
People up there listening to KFI, got to keep your
ear on the ground, see what's going on out there.
Listen to the cops and the firemen up there, because
if they shut that. I don't know if the dam's
already shut down, the highway that goes over, and if
it's eighteen or three thirty, whatever that is. But if
(13:25):
the backway is the only way out of there and
there's one hundred thousand people trying to get out there,
it backs up immediately and then you can't get out there.
You do not want to get caught in this fire.
So I got kids, maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You got mom and dad who are elderly.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You got to think about maybe bailing, maybe getting out.
Speaker 15 (13:42):
I'm at the Big Bear Dam. We've seen several crews,
several helicopters coming out here to fill some water. And
for a time it really seemed like firefighters had this
all under controller. At least they were getting a hole
that's right or handle on this fire.
Speaker 16 (13:54):
But because of areas that were really difficult to access
for them, that's where the fire took off.
Speaker 15 (14:05):
A fight to keep the fire out, the line fire burning.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
We can hear the wind up there.
Speaker 15 (14:14):
The line fire burning for almost a month now, forcing
residents out of their homes again, this time evacuation orders
coming down for Angelus Oaks and Seven Oaks in the
San Bernardino National Forest. While the majority of the fire
is contained. This map shows the two areas where crews
hadn't finished putting containment lines up yet due to the
steep and rugged terrain. This is a river bottom right here,
(14:35):
and it ran up that river bottom with the winds
behind it from the southwest. At times there were crews
in the area, but it just times when the wind
gets behind it, it just takes off and it burns
an additional two thousand acres when it flared up. Tom
de Bellas with the Colton Fire Department says, this is
when they rely on aircraft.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, but for people are unfamiliar with Seven Oaks is
I know people are thinking, well, seven Oaks, that's probably
now west of Big Bear. It's not true. Seven Oaks
is actually due south of Big Bear. Like if you
were in seven Oaks and you went one hundred percent
straight due north, you would end up at probably at
(15:15):
like Snow Summit, maybe a mile or two west of
Snow Summit. So this fire is already east of the dam.
The dam is Highway eighteen or thirty eight. Eighteen crosses
it and then thirty eight goes on the other side
of the lake, and so Big Bear Lake if that
fire is where they say it is at seven Oaks,
(15:38):
which I don't think it is. If it is, it
really has grown quickly. I think it's west of seven Oaks.
And if it's west of seven Oaks, then you're okay
for a little while. But man, I'd be active up there.
I'd be very very cautious up there. There are a
lot of people who have a lot of homes. There
are a ton of homes in that area. And if
(16:00):
this fire gets any kind of wind behind its back
and it goes due north, that goes right into the
heart of Big Bear Lake, right into Big Bear Lake
from seven Oaks, right into it. You got sky you know,
you got Camp Sky Meadows up there, which is north
of seven Oaks, and then you have seven Oaks Lodge,
which is west of seven Oaks, and that's off seven
(16:24):
Oaks Drive there, seven Oaks Road. But it's not good.
It's not good the way this thing is flared up.
Let's get some more information him.
Speaker 15 (16:31):
More than one thousand personnel are working the line fire
Sky five over the area, showing the line of flames
burning through the dense brush that fire run, prompting an
evacuation warning for several other areas, including much of the
Big Bear Valley. At the Big Bear Dam, helicopters coming
every couple of minutes to refill before carrying that water.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's a really uneasy feeling for people that live in
Big Bear when you can see and hear the helicopter
and they're taking water out of Big Bear Lake right
at the dam to fight this fire, and that's the
closest you know, supply for water. That's really unnerving for
people to live up there because everybody knows. You know,
(17:15):
there's dead trees up there, the bark beetles up there.
I don't know if it's still up there, but people
know how quickly fire races through communities, and they're very,
very cautious, very uneasy right now about this fire going
into Big Bear.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Not good.
Speaker 15 (17:31):
At the Big Bear Dam, helicopters coming every couple of
minutes to refill before carrying that water. Where that smoke
arose over the ridge. Big Bear residents Denise and Jim
Knight packed up their two dogs and evacuated a few
weeks ago when the line fire threatened Big Bear.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Smart smart people, smart people. Last time we evacuated, you
know it's still loaded.
Speaker 15 (17:52):
You're ready to leave if you have to, Yeah, d
for them along with other mountain residents. It's been a
roller coaster.
Speaker 13 (17:58):
It's been terrifying because once that wind changes, you have
knowing it where that fire is.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
Going to go.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, and how quickly it burns too. It is.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It is a really unpredictable area of southern California.
Speaker 15 (18:11):
Well, the fire seems to be a distance away from
Big there. Residents like Alba Garcia who are under an
evacuation warning are watching and waiting.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Just wish for a miracle.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Right now, it's very difficult to move and to even
if you in the hotel.
Speaker 16 (18:25):
You still worry about your house, if you still be
seen there when you come back. All right, So this
is the latest map showing evacuation orders and warnings. Again,
Angelus Oaks is the latest community to be ordered to leave.
Now back after your life before this helicopter gets out
of here. Again, we're showing you this is the area
where they have been coming by every few minutes to
(18:47):
be able to refill on water and take and you
can see they're taking them into that area where it's
extremely smoky out there. We're going to continue to follow
this but as of right now. We do know that
in a shelter has been set up at Redlands East
Valley High School.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
All right, Redlands East Valley High School is where the
shelter is.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
You know, let's take some phone calls.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
If you're up in the Big Bear area, maybe you're
in Seven Oaks, the Boulder Bay. What else is up there?
Angelus Oaks, Sugar Loaf is up there as well. But
if you're in that area, and let me give you
the phone number here, tell us what's going on up
there at one eight hundred five, two oh one five
(19:27):
three four one eight hundred five to two oh one
five three four, and let us know what's going on
the mountains because we rely on we had a lot
of listeners up there, a lot of listeners of KFI
up in the Big Bear area, and uh, we're with
you through the snowstorms, we'll be with you through the
(19:49):
fire and you're gonna get a lot of information right
here on KFI one eight hundred five, two oh one
five three four. So calls, if you're up that area,
tell us what's going on the bird's eye view of
what's happening up there.
Speaker 13 (20:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
There is a fire up the line. Fire is very
scary for people live up there in Big Bear. I'm
looking at camera right now. If you go onto YouTube,
there's Big Bear Camp, big Bear California Live Camera twenty
four to seven and it's Big Bear California Live cam
on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
And it looks like.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That camera is at Pine not Avenue and Big Bear Boulevard.
There's a Valero gas station there in the background, so
I think that's where it is. And I'm looking at
the camera right now, and you can clearly see smoke
from the fire coming over the north the south part
of that mountain. So where the Valero gas station is,
(20:51):
I know a lot of people live up there. By
the way, the trees already turning up there. It's beautiful,
it's spectacular, but for people live up there. Right now,
I'm looking at a live camera again, not Avenue and
a Big Bear Boulevard. Fillero gas station is there, the
harbor's there, there's a lot of wood structures there. And
then directly southwest where that big antenna is up there.
(21:15):
You can see over the that antenna and you can
clearly see smoke coming from south of that location, not
Avenue k and Ott and Big Bear Boulevard, and that
scares the hell out of people live up there. Scares
the hell out of them. Fuck do I Helen here
real quick? Helen, you're on KFI?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (21:37):
I'm good, very good.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Where do you live? Are you in Big Bear?
Speaker 14 (21:41):
I actually am a resident of Big Bear. I commute
to Los Angeles every day. Wow, So what's happened is
because three point thirty is closed, I really can't commute
because it takes too long. So I'm actually hanging out
Victorville that I have people in Bigger at my homes.
Happening is obviously it kicked up yesterday. But there are
(22:05):
two ways out. Okay. You can still go over the dam,
which is eighteen, and you go down to Running Springs
Snow Valley, Kurt, No, Running Springs past Snow Valley, right,
and you go through Lake Arrowhead. Okay. Then the other
way out is Luthern Valley, what we call the backway.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, the back.
Speaker 14 (22:27):
And you have to remember Big there is a secondary residence.
I think we only have somewhere between twenty five hundred
and five thousand full time residents.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Okay, but there are a lot of a lot of
tourists up there too.
Speaker 14 (22:39):
Right, not really not probably not right now because schools started.
If this was a couple of months ago, yes, I
see right now.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Well, by the way, it looks beautiful up there.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I know they had a couple of years of drought
and the lake was really down, but the lake looks full,
looks great.
Speaker 14 (22:54):
Oh, it's stunning, absolutely stunning, Yeah, absolutely stunning.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Now when you talk about the back way down there,
you talk about the eighteen going down the backside.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Of the mountain, absolutely eighteen.
Speaker 14 (23:04):
And you can go through farm scan and you can
go through a big bear lake.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
You go past the grocery stores. Everyone knows those.
Speaker 14 (23:11):
And you keep going and you make a left and
you go to Lucern Valley, Victorsville right.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Right, yeah, and that's where that's where you pick up
the two forty seven out there, fifteen.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Seven sweetie born and raised here, forty.
Speaker 14 (23:28):
Seven, bitter fifteen.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Right, So what so are you worried about this?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It looks like I can clearly see smoke on this
live camera, and that's got to be worried.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
And everybody up there.
Speaker 14 (23:42):
We had the fire. You'll remember this when the baby
shower fire a couple of years ago, when they've announced
the gender. It was a gender party.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
And remember that.
Speaker 14 (23:56):
Yeah, that was in hispari and we had the same
kind of smoke coming over that hill, which of course
is very worrisome. Okay, I packed up, the cats, packed
up the car. But nothing happened. I mean, that's the
good news. It's smoke and these firemen are amazing, and
they are getting water from the lake. They did it
all out night.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It is tough up there. Hell, I really appreciate the
phone call. She brings up a good point. Those gender
reveals that started at fire a couple of years ago,
that's not good. But I think in the future, I
think the baby will tell you what gender it is.
I don't think we have to determine that with smoke,
you know, blue smoke or pink smoke.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
No sense of patience. So I can't wait. Man, that
baby will tell you what gender it is. Find out
what you find out?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
How rude is it for the parents to tell the
baby what gender it is?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
What's going on? What is nineteen seventy eight, right boomers? Yeah, heterosexuals,
it's going on? With these people.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
So they're so nineteen seventy eight, These hea sexuals crazy,
stuck in the stone age, they are. Jeanie is not
stuck in the stone age. She's stuck on hold. Now
she's on KFI. Genie, how are you Hi?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
I'm good fine, I'm still here. I'm here and I'm
a full time resident here. My friend Ruthie told me
that you were talking about this on CAFI. So Hi, Ruthie,
thank you for telling Ruthie.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
So, Genie, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The Vlero gas station where not Avenue and Big Bear
Boulevard you were, That is right, That's where.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
The harbor is right where that is all right, there's a.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Live camera there and I'm looking at smoke coming over
at least visible over that mountain.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
That's got to be really terrifying.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Well, I can tell you something a little bit more terrifying.
On the twenty seventh, On that morning, about six thirty am,
I was in Seven Oaks. I was on my way
down thirty eight on my way to Ontario Airport. Oh wow,
And I pulled over because I got a phone call
and I saw the fire starting. Now this was three
(26:05):
days ago.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
And there was a bunch of firefighters called hot Shots.
They were there in their green truck and they were
watching it and they were all talking. I thought about
going over to them and asking if someone was going
to do something about the fire, but I thought, well,
I'm sure they will. And by the time I got
(26:30):
to the bottom of the hill to the ten Freeway,
I looked back up and I was concerned that I
couldn't get back up that same highway, and I know
I can't get up to three thirty because it's been destroyed,
so that would only leave the Lucerne Valley Way, which
you know that's way out of my way. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:54):
Well you talk about stuck living hair. Yeah, then I
guess this was day before yesterday. I stuck. You're laughing
day for yesterday. I saw this wall of smoke and
fire about I guess it was yesterday, about maybe three
o'clock in the afternoon, and this was just like a
(27:16):
scene from hell. I took a picture so scary, and
it was from that fire.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Gee, where are you? Whereabouts?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Are you up near a snow summit? Are you towards
the dam?
Speaker 8 (27:30):
I'm right by snow summit?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Okay, so you got a great home up there. I
mean there's that snow sum it's a beautiful area.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Oh yeah, it's it's beautiful, but it's dangerous to live here.
I'm a full time resident, and I went through the
evacuations two years ago.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You know, I was talking with Helen here and I noticed,
you know what, I'm looking at this live camera. I'm
sure you're you're familiar with this live camera on Nott
Avenue and Big Bear Boulevard. But I can't believe how
beautiful that lake is. I was up there a year
and a half ago, and that lake, you know, half
that marina was mud or dirt.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Yes, yeah, it's beautiful. Oh yeah, it's it's completely fault
and it's a beautiful place.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
To live, it really is. And the people up there.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Great, Yeah, they are very nice people. But yeah, the
fires are to be concerned. And I'm from Paradise.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Oh you are where they at the fight in northern California.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Yeah, Oh my god, it was raised there from nineteen
fifty six all the way.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Were you there for that fire?
Speaker 8 (28:38):
I was not. I was living here, but my friends
lost everything.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Oh my god. Oh that's horrible. Man. This side, this Genie.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You know, Jeanie, she's seen a lot, you know, born
and raised in Paradise, a lot of people died and
not fire up there, and now it's in Big Bear. Wow, man,
that's unreal. All right, we've got to take a break here.
We'll come back and continue talking about it. That fire
for right now, people are deciding whether to leave on
their own. It's not GTFO yet, but it's getting close,
(29:13):
and I think people know what that means.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
GTFO, Get the f out, get out.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yes, we'll come back and continue talking about Big Bear
the line fire.
Speaker 13 (29:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Big Bear right now.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
That's where a lot of the action is Seven Oaks
and Big Bear. There's a live camera on YouTube. If
you go to Big Bear, California Live Camera twenty four
slash seven, you can see right there. I think they
have audio on this camera too. Let me pull it
up here and you can.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
This is.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
You can hear the helicopters in the background. And this
is This is in the middle of Big Bear City.
This is where the Valero gas station is on Big
Bear Boulevard and not Avenue.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
K and O t T.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
And that's that's not near the dam. That's right in
the heart of Big Bear. That's where where the Marinea is.
For people familiar with Big Bear, there's the Hotel Marina
Riviera and the Marina Resort. That's exactly where this camera is.
Laguna Grill is a very popular place up there. I
(30:28):
think it's still open. I don't know it's a seasonal place.
I don't think it. I think it's still open. And
then west of that is the dam by you know,
four or five miles or so, and then east of
that is where the shopping center is, where you have
your you know, your safe way. I think it's still
safe way up there. I've been to that market in
(30:48):
a while, but I think it's still Safeway. And that's
where on the east side of it is where or
Vonn's I think they call it now. So there's a
Vonn's up there. That's where the post office is. Everybody's
familiar with the post office there. There's a big pet
coo Starbucks, you know, the W'll run DIY is up
there as well.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And that's where this camera is.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
This camera is only about a half mile west of
that shopping center, right at at Pine Not Avenue and
Big Bear Boulevard. That's where the Robinson Resort is up
there as well. So if you're looking at that camera,
and I have that camera up live right now, that
(31:33):
camera is if you look at it, there is clearly
smoke coming over the mountains there and it's got to
be worrisome to the people live up there's a and
it's not a little smoke too, it's a lot. It
looks like, you know, Big Bear is on fire. It's
deceiving because there is a lot of smoke. But as
you look west towards the sunset, and if you're up there,
(31:55):
the sun sets. If you're looking at that camera at
Pine Not app and Big Bear Lake and you look
directly towards where you think the dam is, that's where
the sun sets this time of year, like right over
the dam, and you can clearly see a ton of
smoke there. This is the audio that you're listening to,
(32:20):
and you can hear helicopters in the background, and to
hear helicopters in Big Bear is never ever a good
sound because you know, the fire is close enough where
they're picking up water out of the lake and dumping
it on the fire, but it doesn't look I'm looking
at people walking near the marina right now. There's two guys,
(32:43):
both dressed in orange. I don't know if they've escaped
prison or they've worked out. I don't know, but they
don't seem panicked at all. They don't seem panicked at all.
They're walking around. There's another guy pulling up to get
gas here at the gas station. And I guess, you know,
when you live up there, you deal with this enough
(33:04):
where you know you don't panic. I would be panic,
but I don't live up there. One of the reasons
I don't live up there is because i'd panic too easily.
But the people live up there, they're cool. They're cool.
I want to talk to Matt here. I believes with us. Matt,
you with us.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
Yeah, I'm here, Tim.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
What is going on, buddy?
Speaker 9 (33:24):
I love you, Tim?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Right, I love you too, buddy, And I hope you're
safe up there. What's going on in Big Bear?
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (33:33):
It's you know?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Are you on the east end?
Speaker 5 (33:37):
I'm on the far east end of the valley. I'm
in a place called Lake Williams. I don't know if
you know that where that is exactly.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
But is that near is that near the Bonds?
Speaker 5 (33:46):
It's it's no farther east than that. I work out
in town. But yeah, but I just got home. But basically,
if you followed the valley behind Snow Summit like east,
it would run right into my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
But oh, then you're you're even so you're near that
smaller lake that's east of like what you're near Williams Pond.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
I see, okay, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
So yeah it's been it kicked back up yesterday tim
and uh didn't look good, and then today it's been
you know, burning pretty pretty good too.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And by the way, are there are there places like
when I was growing up, nobody ever had a place
near Amston Lake?
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Are there houses around that lake.
Speaker 9 (34:25):
Now Amston Lake?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:29):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
I don't know where that is, honestly, I can't.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
It's just it's just south of Williams Pond. I don't
know if that's what they call it, but that's what
they called it when I was.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
I don't think many houses that way.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
No, okay, all right, so so you're near Williams Pond there.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Yep, exactly, yeah right there. Yeah, so it's you know,
it's away from us. However, I work, I work. I
don't want to say where I work, but I worked
for utility company up here. So we've been a part
of the the meetings that they've been holding with like
the first responders, utilities and all that.
Speaker 9 (35:04):
And they're expecting it to move.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
East, is what we were told.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
I don't know what's you know, as far as like
what kind of lines they're gonna get on it.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
But by the way, what is it? What is the lake?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
The lake east just east of Big Bears It called
Baldwin Lake.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
What's the lake up there?
Speaker 14 (35:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yeah, that's Baldwin Lake.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Okay, are you west of that or east of that?
Speaker 5 (35:28):
I'm west of that.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Between Baldwin and Big Bear Lake.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
Basically we take the thirty eight up like from red Land.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Okay, Uh yeah, I would be off off the thirty
eight on your right hand side.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, there's uh, there's a lot of great bed and
breakfast up there. When we when we were kids, we
stayed at place. I don't know if it's still there.
The there's a couple of beautiful places up there, and
they and everyone keeps their house really nice up there.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
As well, yeah, it's super nice, super cool up here.
Speaker 8 (35:55):
Love it.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, So are using are they using that airport, Big
Bear Airport for for drops yet?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Yeah, I've seen a few helicopters land their parked or
whatever you call it.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
I just call it parking.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
I don't, I don't know. Okay, Yeah, they landed there,
and yeah it's been active up here.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
You know, the DC tens and flying around a lot today.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Are you familiar with that Pine Nott Avenue and Big
Bear Boulevard where that camera.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Is near the valero?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yes, okay, so if I'm looking, I'm looking at that
camera right now, and there's clearly a ton of smoke
just south of that.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Can you smell it from where you are?
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Yeah, you can definitely smell in the valley, especially at
night in the morn of the morning. It sinks down,
but it's burning reck behind snow Stoma, like I would say,
like it's a couple of miles behind Snow Summit, but
behind the top of Snow Summit, you.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Know, looking at these trees, some of them have changed already,
and man is it spectacular.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
It's so beautiful up there.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Yeah, it's freaking awesome. This is the best place man.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
And you know what, what makes it really great? I
have never met an a hole that lives in Big Bear.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
Not one I have.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
But that's great.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Okay, cuche, all right, well you know the local a holes.
I don't What do you do up there? Do you
work up there? Are you retired?
Speaker 5 (37:17):

Speaker 9 (37:17):
I work up here.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
I worked for a utility company up here.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Oh that's what you said. Okay, right now? And so
so are they? Are they? There's not a mandatory evacuation.
Speaker 9 (37:26):
Yet, no, not for Big Bear.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
I think they have it under a warning right now
for most for the south side, south of the lake,
and real quickly.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Have been people making a run on vonds. Have you
noticed that people are getting supplies?
Speaker 9 (37:42):
Dude? It really hasn't been that vibe.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
It's good.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
People are kind of going about their business.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
That's great. I think, well that's typical of people live
in Big Bear. They don't get out. They don't get out,
They hang back. Are we gotta get out of here?

Speaker 4 (00:26):
We how the fair sex, you know, deals with the
with the stronger sex in the in the midst of
life and gambling and men being men.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay, well, there's a production of it somewhere in La
Really y's at the Altadena Theater Altadena Music Theater, and
they wanted me to you know, you know the part
it Act one, scene three. If you're familiar with it,
I'm sure you are because you're in it. Yeah, where
there's a where Nathan makes a phone call. I was
(00:56):
Nathan Detroit, you were, I was, okay, Well, they want
me to be, and you'd be Nathan at least in
that or in that scene where they call the about
the crap game. Wow, So maybe we can record it
on the show so I don't have to do it
in private.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They wanted me to record it and send it to them,
and I said no because I say note everything, because
I'm you know, I like to drink when I get home, and.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
No reading once you start drinking. Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
But I guess we can do it after six thirty
if we do it on the air, can I just
send him fellow, I can send them that audio.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
You know, our very own Will Coldschreiber is playing the
part of Lieutenant Brannigan in this Guys and Dolls at
the Altadina Music Center.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Really yeah, Okay, how long is the run?
Speaker 7 (01:47):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
That's what I call the length. We call it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I didn't know your LUs Thespians call it a run.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Oh, a run?
Speaker 8 (01:55):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I'm not sure. I believe it opens October tenth, though.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh, he'll be part of it. I'll be part of it.
I can't wait. All right, the bullet train Las Vegas
to California.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Let's find out when this soucker is going to be done.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
Rebillion dollar grants has been approved to continue construction on
high speed rail service between Nevada and California. The Nevada
Department of Transportation says it received the federal grant for
the bright Line West project. The bright Line West is
working to build a high speed rail line that connects
Las Vegas and Los Angeles. It's expected passengers would be
able to make that trip in a little more than
(02:30):
two hours.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well what is it now, I mean from Crozier from
Ontario to Vegas?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Is that a three hour drive? Can you get there
in three hours?
Speaker 9 (02:39):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, well, now it's.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Going to be two That's about half the time it
takes to travel that distance by car.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, with traffic maybe. Okay.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
The goal is to have the trains running by the
summer of twenty twenty eight, that is when Los Angeles
will be hosting the Olympic Games.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh great, okay, so people can watch the games during
the day and gamble at night.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
There you go. All right, let's talk about DirecTV.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I don't know if you have Direct TV or if
you have a dish network, but if you have either,
now you're going to have both.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
DirecTV will pay dishes owner Ecostar just one dollar in
exchange for assuming billions of dollars in debt.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Oh, that's the routine. Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So like when Newsweeks sold Newsweek, the magazine sold for
a dollar and whatever whoever bought it just assumed all
the liability it comes with it. So Dish is going
to be direct TV. DirecTV is going to be Dish.
It's all going to be one big network.
Speaker 10 (03:35):
If the companies combined, the new service will have about
twenty million subscribers at its peak. At twenty fifteen, DirecTV
had twenty million subscribers alone. Both companies have struggled to
keep customers as streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime
Video have gained traction. US government previously blocked a proposed
nineteen billion dollar merger in two thousand and two on
(03:56):
competitive grounds.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I think they'll let this go through because WI
she's not doing well, not doing well at all. Billions
and billions in dead so they'll probably let it go.
Bel Air, nice city, beautiful town, beautiful, very expensive place
to live. And now we got taggers in the area.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Tagger.
Speaker 11 (04:15):
This newly ventalized mansion has been on the market for years. Earlier,
we spoke to the realtor who told us that security
does come by to checking it twice a day, and
on Thursday, that's when the vandalism was discovered. We spoke
to the realtor broker of the property, who confirmed one
of the owners is Ibraham bin Lauden, who's the half
brother of Osama bin Lauden.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Says November six, twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Wow, Osama bin Laden's brother still has a home in Brentwood.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (04:47):
The realtor says. The mansion has been vacant for twenty
five years. There was a property manager, but I.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Wonder if he's tired about asking answering questions about his brothers.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
You know, kay, ask you by your brother?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh god, yeah, he didn't like him either, All right.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Go ahead, go ahead. So what was he like? What
did he? Was he a breakfast guy? What was what
was he like on weekends? He sleeping? Like pancakes are
waffle sweet?
Speaker 8 (05:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Was he sweet or salty? Salty on breakfast? Is he
like a bacon guy or more of a pancake?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Did he like breakfast for dinner?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (05:26):
The realtor says, the mansion has been vacant for twenty
five years.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh, what is that?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right, somebody's got some money to keep a mansion vacant
for twenty five years.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
The realtor says, the mansion has been vacant for twenty
five years. There was a property manager, but that person
got sick and left four years ago. Wow, it's been
on the market on and off for about three and
a half years.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So Osama Bin Lawton's half brother owns this property. And
this guy's half brother is Osama Bin Laden.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He's a loser.
Speaker 11 (06:00):
Adam Latham learned about the owner.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The strictest definition of that term. By the way, he's
a loser.
Speaker 11 (06:05):
Adam Latham learned about the owner when he was hired
to photograph the property.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
It was pretty strange, and I was slightly concerned as
to whether I should mention it to any of my
clients because it was a bit awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Latham never a bit awkward. Osama Bidlin's brother owns the place.
How do you bring that up?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It was a bit awkward, Yeah, very awkward.
Speaker 11 (06:25):
Latham never imagined the two and a half acre property
across the street from the famous bel Air hotel.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh, right across the street. Wow, that's you'd be beautiful
property there.
Speaker 11 (06:33):
Would draw headlines after two other LA mansions and the
unfinished towers in downtown LA gained attention for vandalism.
Speaker 12 (06:41):
Is quite shocking because I'm not against street todds or graffiti,
but on residential structures where people.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I love this guy in this day and age, he
has to he has to come out and say he's
not against tagging, not really against it.
Speaker 12 (06:57):
You know, I'm not against street todge of graffiti.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, you know, I'm not really against it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But to desecrate the entire house here across from the
bel Air Hotel, h not into it.
Speaker 12 (07:13):
On residential structures where people own and live.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, that's the whole different thing that is, you can't
be into that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, look, this guy's got a pretty deep threshold for crazy.
He's dealing with Osama bin Laden's half brother, who has
a house hasn't been in twenty five years.
Speaker 11 (07:31):
The LPD says. Officers were called here on Friday after
a man broke in.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But I love that this English guy who's selling this house,
like the second most The first craziest thing about that
house is the tagging. The second is that Osama bin
Laden knowns it. That's wild.
Speaker 11 (07:49):
The LPD says officers were called here on Friday after
a man broke in, but the property manager didn't want
to follow a report, so no arrest. The realtor says
that there is at least a one offer on the
table for the property that is listed for twenty one
and a half a million dollars. The plan is to
tear it down to make way for something new.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
If you now that it's out, There's no way I
would live in that home because people now know that
the relation.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, you never have a night's piece, I know.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And anytime you heard something in the bushes like, oh,
they think I'm Osama ban Load.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Every time you hear any noise.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Oh, you'd have to just have a speaker outside. Twenty
four hours a day. I'm not Osama bin Laden. And
he doesn't live here, and Norah does his family. I'm
not Osama bin Laden, you know, twenty four hours a
day like like the UH, like the recording at LAX.
The white zone is immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Do not leave your bags NOD.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
When I was a kid, my dad told me that
that they were doing that live and I bought it.
Like so, a guy sits in the room every time
twenty seconds he does that. He goes, yeah, yeah, he
does that every twenty seconds, Like what a job. The
hands it off after eight hours? Is somebody else? The
white zone is formediate loading and unloading of passengers only
no parking. Your dad told you this, Yeah, he told me.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
He's live.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
How many times your dad told you something? It turned
away and just rolled his eyes right.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, I think he had a pretty you know, easy
audience with me, you know, a pretty dopey kid, pretty
easy mark with me.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
You know. All right, we are live.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
When we come back at after six thirty, are you
going to do this, Crozy?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
We're going to do this together, this guys and dolls.
Let's make it happen. All right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'll be I'm Joey's voice, and you're Nathan Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Nathan Detroit. Okay, was that your accent in the shore?
This is great.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I like to go see it just to hear, you know,
just to see who is playing Nathan, because you're the natural. Yes,
you know whoever's playing it is like secondary, that's great, Croz.
You should be in this thing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Hell, hell are everybody else in the stations in huh?
You should be. We should do a KFI presentation.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
At one of these one of these plays, Tony, you
do it right, you'd be in this thing guys and dolls.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You didn't even get the sentence out.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He's no, A said no, uh, Bellio, you'd be in
it for sure. Oh yeah, you want to be in
it now?
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I want to be Nathan.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well, after six three, we'll do it.
Speaker 13 (10:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
We got breaking news out of Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Cops are out there, no good shots fired in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Massive responsor by LAPD here after reports of shots fired.
People said they heard gun shots but they didn't see
any guns being fired here on the six hundred block
up to Penga Canyon, and so LAPD is gathered now in.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I think that's the Panga near Burbank, right out where
there's a Denny's there right near the one on one up.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
To Penga Canyon, and LAPED has gathered now in Masson.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Rough area, rough area out there, Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Lot of crime, people breaking into homes out there, rough
rough neighborhood out.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
There up to Panga Canyon, and so LAPD has gathered
now in mass and they're actually going into this building
right here. Looks like they're going Unity unit in small
teams trying to clear the entire apartment complex and see
if they can find where that gunfire may have possibly
come from over here in the alley as well. And
to do all of this they have to pang a
canyon completely shut down.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's Topanga Canyon shut down just north of the one
oh one freeway there before you get to Topanga Plaza,
and uh, there's an Rby's there and if it's still there, maybe.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Completely shut down. Between Burbank and Ox start, so that's
gonna be a pretty big traffic implication. Big groups of
people all right here. Might have been some people in
the apartment.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Cost somebody was shocked. Do you hear then start, So.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That's gonna be a pretty big traffic implication.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Then what.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Burbank and Ox start, So that's gonna be pretty traffic implication,
Like Hellia, big groups of people all right here. But
I have been some people in the apartment complex. So
no reports of any injuries or anyone being hit by gunfire,
but someone hurt four or five gun shots and LPED
is taking this very seriously live at sky Caliberhead. I've
Destmond shop hat back.
Speaker 14 (12:16):
Thanks for that report and looking forward to the update desk.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, Desmond Shaw out there and how are the cops responding?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
How are they handling it?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And LPED is taking this very seriously, very seriously, very seriously.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Uh, most parts of the city here gunshots and they're like, yeah,
calls back, if anyone's down, Buddy Woodland Hill's man, they
get attention out there, they get attention. Line fire, update
on the line fire in San Bernardino Mountains.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
What's happening out there?
Speaker 15 (12:44):
This is an extremely fluid situation. In the past thirty
minutes or so, we just learned that Angelus Oaks, which
was under an evacuation warning, is now under an evacuation
order and we are starting to see more ash come
down through this area. Now again, as you both said,
I'm at the Big Bear dam We've seen several crew
several helicopters.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh it's a big Bear Damn. That's closed the Big Bear.
People up there listening to KFI, got to keep your
ear on the ground, see what's going on out there.
Listen to the cops and the firemen up there, because
if they shut that. I don't know if the dam's
already shut down, the highway that goes over, and if
it's eighteen or three thirty, whatever that is. But if
(13:25):
the backway is the only way out of there and
there's one hundred thousand people trying to get out there,
it backs up immediately and then you can't get out there.
You do not want to get caught in this fire.
So I got kids, maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You got mom and dad who are elderly.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You got to think about maybe bailing, maybe getting out.
Speaker 15 (13:42):
I'm at the Big Bear Dam. We've seen several crews,
several helicopters coming out here to fill some water. And
for a time it really seemed like firefighters had this
all under controller. At least they were getting a hole
that's right or handle on this fire.
Speaker 16 (13:54):
But because of areas that were really difficult to access
for them, that's where the fire took off.
Speaker 15 (14:05):
A fight to keep the fire out, the line fire burning.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
We can hear the wind up there.
Speaker 15 (14:14):
The line fire burning for almost a month now, forcing
residents out of their homes again, this time evacuation orders
coming down for Angelus Oaks and Seven Oaks in the
San Bernardino National Forest. While the majority of the fire
is contained. This map shows the two areas where crews
hadn't finished putting containment lines up yet due to the
steep and rugged terrain. This is a river bottom right here,
(14:35):
and it ran up that river bottom with the winds
behind it from the southwest. At times there were crews
in the area, but it just times when the wind
gets behind it, it just takes off and it burns
an additional two thousand acres when it flared up. Tom
de Bellas with the Colton Fire Department says, this is
when they rely on aircraft.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, but for people are unfamiliar with Seven Oaks is
I know people are thinking, well, seven Oaks, that's probably
now west of Big Bear. It's not true. Seven Oaks
is actually due south of Big Bear. Like if you
were in seven Oaks and you went one hundred percent
straight due north, you would end up at probably at
(15:15):
like Snow Summit, maybe a mile or two west of
Snow Summit. So this fire is already east of the dam.
The dam is Highway eighteen or thirty eight. Eighteen crosses
it and then thirty eight goes on the other side
of the lake, and so Big Bear Lake if that
fire is where they say it is at seven Oaks,
(15:38):
which I don't think it is. If it is, it
really has grown quickly. I think it's west of seven Oaks.
And if it's west of seven Oaks, then you're okay
for a little while. But man, I'd be active up there.
I'd be very very cautious up there. There are a
lot of people who have a lot of homes. There
are a ton of homes in that area. And if
(16:00):
this fire gets any kind of wind behind its back
and it goes due north, that goes right into the
heart of Big Bear Lake, right into Big Bear Lake
from seven Oaks, right into it. You got sky you know,
you got Camp Sky Meadows up there, which is north
of seven Oaks, and then you have seven Oaks Lodge,
which is west of seven Oaks, and that's off seven
(16:24):
Oaks Drive there, seven Oaks Road. But it's not good.
It's not good the way this thing is flared up.
Let's get some more information him.
Speaker 15 (16:31):
More than one thousand personnel are working the line fire
Sky five over the area, showing the line of flames
burning through the dense brush that fire run, prompting an
evacuation warning for several other areas, including much of the
Big Bear Valley. At the Big Bear Dam, helicopters coming
every couple of minutes to refill before carrying that water.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's a really uneasy feeling for people that live in
Big Bear when you can see and hear the helicopter
and they're taking water out of Big Bear Lake right
at the dam to fight this fire, and that's the
closest you know, supply for water. That's really unnerving for
people to live up there because everybody knows. You know,
(17:15):
there's dead trees up there, the bark beetles up there.
I don't know if it's still up there, but people
know how quickly fire races through communities, and they're very,
very cautious, very uneasy right now about this fire going
into Big Bear.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Not good.
Speaker 15 (17:31):
At the Big Bear Dam, helicopters coming every couple of
minutes to refill before carrying that water. Where that smoke
arose over the ridge. Big Bear residents Denise and Jim
Knight packed up their two dogs and evacuated a few
weeks ago when the line fire threatened Big Bear.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Smart smart people, smart people. Last time we evacuated, you
know it's still loaded.
Speaker 15 (17:52):
You're ready to leave if you have to, Yeah, d
for them along with other mountain residents. It's been a
roller coaster.
Speaker 13 (17:58):
It's been terrifying because once that wind changes, you have
knowing it where that fire is.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
Going to go.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, and how quickly it burns too. It is.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It is a really unpredictable area of southern California.
Speaker 15 (18:11):
Well, the fire seems to be a distance away from
Big there. Residents like Alba Garcia who are under an
evacuation warning are watching and waiting.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Just wish for a miracle.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Right now, it's very difficult to move and to even
if you in the hotel.
Speaker 16 (18:25):
You still worry about your house, if you still be
seen there when you come back. All right, So this
is the latest map showing evacuation orders and warnings. Again,
Angelus Oaks is the latest community to be ordered to leave.
Now back after your life before this helicopter gets out
of here. Again, we're showing you this is the area
where they have been coming by every few minutes to
(18:47):
be able to refill on water and take and you
can see they're taking them into that area where it's
extremely smoky out there. We're going to continue to follow
this but as of right now. We do know that
in a shelter has been set up at Redlands East
Valley High School.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
All right, Redlands East Valley High School is where the
shelter is.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
You know, let's take some phone calls.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
If you're up in the Big Bear area, maybe you're
in Seven Oaks, the Boulder Bay. What else is up there?
Angelus Oaks, Sugar Loaf is up there as well. But
if you're in that area, and let me give you
the phone number here, tell us what's going on up
there at one eight hundred five, two oh one five
(19:27):
three four one eight hundred five to two oh one
five three four, and let us know what's going on
the mountains because we rely on we had a lot
of listeners up there, a lot of listeners of KFI
up in the Big Bear area, and uh, we're with
you through the snowstorms, we'll be with you through the
(19:49):
fire and you're gonna get a lot of information right
here on KFI one eight hundred five, two oh one
five three four. So calls, if you're up that area,
tell us what's going on the bird's eye view of
what's happening up there.
Speaker 13 (20:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
There is a fire up the line. Fire is very
scary for people live up there in Big Bear. I'm
looking at camera right now. If you go onto YouTube,
there's Big Bear Camp, big Bear California Live Camera twenty
four to seven and it's Big Bear California Live cam
on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
And it looks like.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That camera is at Pine not Avenue and Big Bear Boulevard.
There's a Valero gas station there in the background, so
I think that's where it is. And I'm looking at
the camera right now, and you can clearly see smoke
from the fire coming over the north the south part
of that mountain. So where the Valero gas station is,
(20:51):
I know a lot of people live up there. By
the way, the trees already turning up there. It's beautiful,
it's spectacular, but for people live up there. Right now,
I'm looking at a live camera again, not Avenue and
a Big Bear Boulevard. Fillero gas station is there, the
harbor's there, there's a lot of wood structures there. And
then directly southwest where that big antenna is up there.
(21:15):
You can see over the that antenna and you can
clearly see smoke coming from south of that location, not
Avenue k and Ott and Big Bear Boulevard, and that
scares the hell out of people live up there. Scares
the hell out of them. Fuck do I Helen here
real quick? Helen, you're on KFI?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (21:37):
I'm good, very good.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Where do you live? Are you in Big Bear?
Speaker 14 (21:41):
I actually am a resident of Big Bear. I commute
to Los Angeles every day. Wow, So what's happened is
because three point thirty is closed, I really can't commute
because it takes too long. So I'm actually hanging out
Victorville that I have people in Bigger at my homes.
Happening is obviously it kicked up yesterday. But there are
(22:05):
two ways out. Okay. You can still go over the dam,
which is eighteen, and you go down to Running Springs
Snow Valley, Kurt, No, Running Springs past Snow Valley, right,
and you go through Lake Arrowhead. Okay. Then the other
way out is Luthern Valley, what we call the backway.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, the back.
Speaker 14 (22:27):
And you have to remember Big there is a secondary residence.
I think we only have somewhere between twenty five hundred
and five thousand full time residents.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Okay, but there are a lot of a lot of
tourists up there too.
Speaker 14 (22:39):
Right, not really not probably not right now because schools started.
If this was a couple of months ago, yes, I
see right now.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Well, by the way, it looks beautiful up there.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I know they had a couple of years of drought
and the lake was really down, but the lake looks full,
looks great.
Speaker 14 (22:54):
Oh, it's stunning, absolutely stunning, Yeah, absolutely stunning.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Now when you talk about the back way down there,
you talk about the eighteen going down the backside.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Of the mountain, absolutely eighteen.
Speaker 14 (23:04):
And you can go through farm scan and you can
go through a big bear lake.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
You go past the grocery stores. Everyone knows those.
Speaker 14 (23:11):
And you keep going and you make a left and
you go to Lucern Valley, Victorsville right.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Right, yeah, and that's where that's where you pick up
the two forty seven out there, fifteen.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Seven sweetie born and raised here, forty.
Speaker 14 (23:28):
Seven, bitter fifteen.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Right, So what so are you worried about this?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It looks like I can clearly see smoke on this
live camera, and that's got to be worried.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
And everybody up there.
Speaker 14 (23:42):
We had the fire. You'll remember this when the baby
shower fire a couple of years ago, when they've announced
the gender. It was a gender party.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
And remember that.
Speaker 14 (23:56):
Yeah, that was in hispari and we had the same
kind of smoke coming over that hill, which of course
is very worrisome. Okay, I packed up, the cats, packed
up the car. But nothing happened. I mean, that's the
good news. It's smoke and these firemen are amazing, and
they are getting water from the lake. They did it
all out night.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It is tough up there. Hell, I really appreciate the
phone call. She brings up a good point. Those gender
reveals that started at fire a couple of years ago,
that's not good. But I think in the future, I
think the baby will tell you what gender it is.
I don't think we have to determine that with smoke,
you know, blue smoke or pink smoke.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
No sense of patience. So I can't wait. Man, that
baby will tell you what gender it is. Find out
what you find out?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
How rude is it for the parents to tell the
baby what gender it is?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
What's going on? What is nineteen seventy eight, right boomers? Yeah, heterosexuals,
it's going on? With these people.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
So they're so nineteen seventy eight, These hea sexuals crazy,
stuck in the stone age, they are. Jeanie is not
stuck in the stone age. She's stuck on hold. Now
she's on KFI. Genie, how are you Hi?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
I'm good fine, I'm still here. I'm here and I'm
a full time resident here. My friend Ruthie told me
that you were talking about this on CAFI. So Hi, Ruthie,
thank you for telling Ruthie.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
So, Genie, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The Vlero gas station where not Avenue and Big Bear
Boulevard you were, That is right, That's where.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
The harbor is right where that is all right, there's a.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Live camera there and I'm looking at smoke coming over
at least visible over that mountain.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
That's got to be really terrifying.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Well, I can tell you something a little bit more terrifying.
On the twenty seventh, On that morning, about six thirty am,
I was in Seven Oaks. I was on my way
down thirty eight on my way to Ontario Airport. Oh wow,
And I pulled over because I got a phone call
and I saw the fire starting. Now this was three
(26:05):
days ago.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
And there was a bunch of firefighters called hot Shots.
They were there in their green truck and they were
watching it and they were all talking. I thought about
going over to them and asking if someone was going
to do something about the fire, but I thought, well,
I'm sure they will. And by the time I got
(26:30):
to the bottom of the hill to the ten Freeway,
I looked back up and I was concerned that I
couldn't get back up that same highway, and I know
I can't get up to three thirty because it's been destroyed,
so that would only leave the Lucerne Valley Way, which
you know that's way out of my way. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:54):
Well you talk about stuck living hair. Yeah, then I
guess this was day before yesterday. I stuck. You're laughing
day for yesterday. I saw this wall of smoke and
fire about I guess it was yesterday, about maybe three
o'clock in the afternoon, and this was just like a
(27:16):
scene from hell. I took a picture so scary, and
it was from that fire.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Gee, where are you? Whereabouts?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Are you up near a snow summit? Are you towards
the dam?
Speaker 8 (27:30):
I'm right by snow summit?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Okay, so you got a great home up there. I
mean there's that snow sum it's a beautiful area.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Oh yeah, it's it's beautiful, but it's dangerous to live here.
I'm a full time resident, and I went through the
evacuations two years ago.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You know, I was talking with Helen here and I noticed,
you know what, I'm looking at this live camera. I'm
sure you're you're familiar with this live camera on Nott
Avenue and Big Bear Boulevard. But I can't believe how
beautiful that lake is. I was up there a year
and a half ago, and that lake, you know, half
that marina was mud or dirt.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Yes, yeah, it's beautiful. Oh yeah, it's it's completely fault
and it's a beautiful place.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
To live, it really is. And the people up there.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Great, Yeah, they are very nice people. But yeah, the
fires are to be concerned. And I'm from Paradise.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Oh you are where they at the fight in northern California.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Yeah, Oh my god, it was raised there from nineteen
fifty six all the way.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Were you there for that fire?
Speaker 8 (28:38):
I was not. I was living here, but my friends
lost everything.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Oh my god. Oh that's horrible. Man. This side, this Genie.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You know, Jeanie, she's seen a lot, you know, born
and raised in Paradise, a lot of people died and
not fire up there, and now it's in Big Bear. Wow, man,
that's unreal. All right, we've got to take a break here.
We'll come back and continue talking about it. That fire
for right now, people are deciding whether to leave on
their own. It's not GTFO yet, but it's getting close,
(29:13):
and I think people know what that means.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
GTFO, Get the f out, get out.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yes, we'll come back and continue talking about Big Bear
the line fire.
Speaker 13 (29:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Big Bear right now.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
That's where a lot of the action is Seven Oaks
and Big Bear. There's a live camera on YouTube. If
you go to Big Bear, California Live Camera twenty four
slash seven, you can see right there. I think they
have audio on this camera too. Let me pull it
up here and you can.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
This is.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
You can hear the helicopters in the background. And this
is This is in the middle of Big Bear City.
This is where the Valero gas station is on Big
Bear Boulevard and not Avenue.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
K and O t T.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
And that's that's not near the dam. That's right in
the heart of Big Bear. That's where where the Marinea is.
For people familiar with Big Bear, there's the Hotel Marina
Riviera and the Marina Resort. That's exactly where this camera is.
Laguna Grill is a very popular place up there. I
(30:28):
think it's still open. I don't know it's a seasonal place.
I don't think it. I think it's still open. And
then west of that is the dam by you know,
four or five miles or so, and then east of
that is where the shopping center is, where you have
your you know, your safe way. I think it's still
safe way up there. I've been to that market in
(30:48):
a while, but I think it's still Safeway. And that's
where on the east side of it is where or
Vonn's I think they call it now. So there's a
Vonn's up there. That's where the post office is. Everybody's
familiar with the post office there. There's a big pet
coo Starbucks, you know, the W'll run DIY is up
there as well.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And that's where this camera is.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
This camera is only about a half mile west of
that shopping center, right at at Pine Not Avenue and
Big Bear Boulevard. That's where the Robinson Resort is up
there as well. So if you're looking at that camera,
and I have that camera up live right now, that
(31:33):
camera is if you look at it, there is clearly
smoke coming over the mountains there and it's got to
be worrisome to the people live up there's a and
it's not a little smoke too, it's a lot. It
looks like, you know, Big Bear is on fire. It's
deceiving because there is a lot of smoke. But as
you look west towards the sunset, and if you're up there,
(31:55):
the sun sets. If you're looking at that camera at
Pine Not app and Big Bear Lake and you look
directly towards where you think the dam is, that's where
the sun sets this time of year, like right over
the dam, and you can clearly see a ton of
smoke there. This is the audio that you're listening to,
(32:20):
and you can hear helicopters in the background, and to
hear helicopters in Big Bear is never ever a good
sound because you know, the fire is close enough where
they're picking up water out of the lake and dumping
it on the fire, but it doesn't look I'm looking
at people walking near the marina right now. There's two guys,
(32:43):
both dressed in orange. I don't know if they've escaped
prison or they've worked out. I don't know, but they
don't seem panicked at all. They don't seem panicked at all.
They're walking around. There's another guy pulling up to get
gas here at the gas station. And I guess, you know,
when you live up there, you deal with this enough
(33:04):
where you know you don't panic. I would be panic,
but I don't live up there. One of the reasons
I don't live up there is because i'd panic too easily.
But the people live up there, they're cool. They're cool.
I want to talk to Matt here. I believes with us. Matt,
you with us.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
Yeah, I'm here, Tim.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
What is going on, buddy?
Speaker 9 (33:24):

Speaker 2 (33:25):

safe up there. What's going on in Big Bear?
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (33:33):
It's you know?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Are you on the east end?
Speaker 5 (33:37):
I'm on the far east end of the valley. I'm
in a place called Lake Williams. I don't know if
you know that where that is exactly.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
But is that near is that near the Bonds?
Speaker 5 (33:46):
It's it's no farther east than that. I work out
in town. But yeah, but I just got home. But basically,
if you followed the valley behind Snow Summit like east,
it would run right into my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
But oh, then you're you're even so you're near that
smaller lake that's east of like what you're near Williams Pond.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
I see, okay, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 5 (34:09):

and uh didn't look good, and then today it's been
you know, burning pretty pretty good too.
Speaker 2 (34:16):

when I was growing up, nobody ever had a place
near Amston Lake?
Speaker 3 (34:23):

It's just it's just south of Williams Pond. I don't
know if that's what they call it, but that's what
they called it when I was.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
I don't think many houses that way.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
No, okay, all right, so so you're near Williams Pond there.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Yep, exactly, yeah right there. Yeah, so it's you know,
it's away from us. However, I work, I work. I
don't want to say where I work, but I worked

Speaker 8 (35:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
Basically we take the thirty eight up like from red Land.

Okay, Uh yeah, I would be off off the thirty
eight on your right hand side.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, there's uh, there's a lot of great bed and
breakfast up there. When we when we were kids, we
stayed at place. I don't know if it's still there.

camera right now, and there's clearly a ton of smoke
just south of that.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Can you smell it from where you are?
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Yeah, you can definitely smell in the valley, especially at
night in the morn of the morning. It sinks down,
but it's burning reck behind snow Stoma, like I would say,
like it's a couple of miles behind Snow Summit, but
behind the top of Snow Summit, you.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
