Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the Conway Show, all right, dig dog with you. Bellio
just came in eating a tutsi roll and I thought, uh, man,
I don't know the last time I bought a tutsi
roll was. I don't think you go to a store
(00:22):
like a seven eleven go I can't wait to get
a tutsi roll. I think you only eat it when
they're free. I at a Halloween party or a Christmas party,
or a free snack drawer.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, maybe a free snacks. There's a bull sitting out
with a bunch of candy and that's the only one
in there.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
But nobody walks into seven of them and goes, hey,
I can't find the tutsi rolls. And then they came
out the ones where they looked like duty, the big logs.
You know, Oh it's the large one. Yeah, it looks
like your dog. You know they made the they made
me a product more less attractive by turning it into
a dog. Crap? Didn't they have a pink and an
orange one too?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And then the holidays they had red and white and green,
and then they had to you know that, the fourth
of July one the Sinko to mile Ones and I
think everyone just I think it's a wrap on the tessuro.
All right, ones are really good, though the vanillaans are.
Oh yeah, I wantn't know that. I didn't know that.
All right, don't have to go Bellio. Let's go get
(01:16):
Vanilla ones with all right, let's talk to our first guest.
Here is a guy who's been with ABC News for
quite some time. His name is Alex Stone. Welcome to
the program. How you serve forever? Twenty years? I've been hanging.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Around here, you know the you those twenty years? Yeah,
twenty years, been with the ABC, said October fourth. I
got my summer statue about a week ago, the weld
thank you for being in the company for twenty years?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Was that come with a check? Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I wish a pin for your name tag for our
Disneyland like name tags, I can put it on there.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
That long.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, Crozer's been around thirty four years. He has not
even that.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I think you get a snow white at thirty five
years with an actual red apple.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
They're like Broaden statues, a red Apple. You get a
little color.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
In there this year do you get do you get
a free tickets to Disneyland or Disney do Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, yeah, get a year.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
We have a pass they call a silver pass, but
so you can go whenever you want.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Wow. Yeah, you do have.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
To make reservations, yeah, which you didn't have to used
to do. But wait, if there's there's space available, you
can go. Cros's got a great, great question. After twenty
years they gave you that silver pass.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, we've we've had that for quite a while. Every
part of working.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Everybody in the company's got one.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So when when Disney offloaded a bunch of people, did
they pull that pass out of their pocket?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
That goes away as well?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Horrible? Yeah, horrible. All right, let's talk about something more
of sinister and down. I guess drug addiction and death.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, so I'm at right now.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, on the first read down here, this is where
today one of the two doctors in the Matthew Perry
deaf doctor Mark Chavez. He officially entered his guilty play
a couple of hours ago, and we knew he was
going to do it.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's no big surprise.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
But he stood in front of the judge today and
admitted to pretty much all of it, well really all
of it that She asked him, did you know what
the purpose of the conspiracy to distribute ketamine was? He said, yes,
your honor. Did you agree to supply ketamine for money? Yes,
your honor. Did he fraudulently write prescriptions under a different
patient's name without that patient knowing that he was doing
(03:33):
it to give them the Matthew Perry, Yes, your honor.
He went on and on.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But did he get his legal advice on Handle on
the law?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
He said, Handle told me just say yes, your honor
to everything.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So in the end he pleaded guilty. The judge accepted
the guilty plea. He will be sentenced in April. Looking
at the potential of ten years in.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
God, why did this guy when he rolled the dice.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, it could have been a lot worse depending on
what the US attorney was going to go for if
he didn't agree to a plea deal. Look at doctor
Salvador Placentia, the doctor who still runs the clinic, can
still see patients, cannot write prescriptions because the dea took
that away from him. But he is pleading not guilty.
And if he doesn't come to some sort of a
plea deal. He's looking at one hundred and twenty in
(04:24):
federal prison for getting that ketamine to Matthew Perry sow see.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Might have got her dealing the ketemine queen. Is she
still out there.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Jasvine Song huh.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, represented by some well known attorneys in town, Mark
Geragos being one of them. Yeah, she is pleading not guilty.
Mark Garrigos has been saying, look, the US attorney is
not going to be able to prove that she sold
the fatal dose and that is a dose that killed them.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That they're planning on fighting that.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
But yeah, she's in jail, still in federal custody, but
in the county jail, waiting trial because the judge said
she has too much of a flight risk, that she
is dangerous and can't be out on bail.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh man, So anybody else involved? These are the only
two doctors.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, so two doctors.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Then there is Jasviine Sogha, who is the Kennemine Queen,
which again Gara Go says, nobody calls her that and
that was a US attorney thing. The US jorney says, no,
that's what she's known as on the streets. Then there's
Eric Fleming, the intermit mediary between the assistant Awa Bassa
was is his last name, the assistant of Matthew Perry
(05:34):
and Jasvine Songha, so kind of this middle person. And
then Matthew Perry's assistant is the other one. So the
assistant and that intermediary they have pleaded guilty. The doctor
today Chavez pleaded guilty. So the final two are song
Ha and doctor Placentia. And at this point it seems
like they're going to fight it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So I don't think I have heard of anybody in
celebrityhood or athletes or politicians, anybody you know, influencer. These
you know kids are popular on the internet. I haven't
heard anybody who's taken that much ketamine as Matthew Perry.
He was the king of ketamine and she was the
Queen of ketemine. It was like a sort of a
(06:14):
weird royalty.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
King and queen going on there. Yeah, he was taking
a lot of it. I mean had three to six
injections a day. On that final day, LAPD investigator said
he told the assistant Awamasa, yeah, hit me up with
a big one, and he injected them with quite a bit,
and then he went unconscious, went under the water and
died under the water, and it was over at that point.
(06:36):
But yeah, I mean, the real allegation was in what
the doctor today in court affirmed was that they were
making money off of this that they saw him, and
he admitted to it today as a money maker. That
they were getting these vials for twelve bucks a vial,
they were selling them to him two thousand dollars a vial.
It was just change ching coming in even where doctor
(06:58):
Placensia texted doctor child Is saying how much will this
more on pay? That they knew that that he was
a money machine and he was making them a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh that's wild man. All right, so I appreciate you
coming on, Bob. You know you got it. And then well,
well I keep following this case through you. You got it,
all right? Thanks man? All right, there he goes Alex Stone.

Speaker 3 (15:37):

What a crew. And they keep asking us back, which
is amazing. You know, it's like, hey, why don't you
come back, like, well have you seen us? You know,
we're like really not well behaved this crew.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
We have a real treat for you. Tonight at six
oh five, Bill Medley's coming on with the Righteous Brothers
and they're going to be on a on a tour,
their final tour, final tour. They're calling it the Loving
Feeling Final Tour, And we're gonna find out where you
can get tickets. But this will be your last opportunity.
(16:16):
I know there's a lot of women out there and
a lot of guys out there too who absolutely love
this song. Maybe your mom and dad or your grandparents
love this song as well. And there's your final chance
to see it live in person. And they're on their
final tour. All right, let's get into some travel news.
You guys like to travel, right view the audience travel. Yeah, okay,
(16:38):
they're very good. I see the hands going up. I
see them all over the place, all over southern California.
United Airlines is set to roll something out that'll make
you happy.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Nighted Airlines planning to roll out Elon Musk Starling Settle
like internet service across its entire fleet begin.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
How about that high speed internet on the plane. Now,
this is great. We've only had high speed or internet
on the planes for I don't know, maybe ten years
for out about ten years. And every time you have
you know, you're on the airplane and you have internet
(17:16):
and then it it's either not available or it glitches.
You're like, oh, I'm forty five thousand feet over the
middle of the Atlantic and I can't get internet service. Oh.
And also when you get on a plane and they
announced that the internet's not working, it bums you out.
(17:36):
It bums you out the entire flight, especially if like
there's no other options. Yeah, right, movie or anything like that. Yeah,
you're gonna sit there and you know, fall try to
fall asleep and talk to your family.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
But the nice thing about the internet too is we're
never at least if you're you know, you're older than forty,
you're always amazed that you're able to text some body
or send somebody a picture from the plane. And you
always do it like, yeah, i'm flying, I'm the way
to New York. Just want to say hi. And it's
always weird that you can do that.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It started when when you landed, then you all of
a sudden everybody pulled out.
Speaker 11 (18:13):
There, right, yeah, just landed, getting off the plane now.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But if you're if you're coming into an airport that
is surrounded by a big city, like four or five
miles out. You open that phone up and you can
start to get cell service. Yeah, like, oh there it
is like, especially in Burbank, you can start to get
cell service about ten minutes before you land. I know
you're not supposed to do. I get that and the
plane might go down and two hundred and fifty people
might die. But you know you can send a buddy
(18:39):
of text. So there's that too, And then you start
to get cell service. That is great. All right, Let's
find out where when And I guess twenty twenty five
is when this's gonna happen. Begetting in twenty twenty five,
twenty twenty five, right around the corner and with one
big bonus free, is that possible?
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Starlink, a divisional Musk's rocket company, Space, uses thousands of
low orbit satellites to deliver Internet service to planes. It's
currently available on carriers including Hawaiian Airlines and Katar Airways,
but United will be its biggest customer.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yet.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
More and more planes are going to move towards LEO
or low Earth orbit satellite connectivity. It's going to feel
like you're at home.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yes, you know. In some of the flights going over
the Atlantic, if you look out the window, you can
see the satellites. They are like one hundred feet above
the plane, just traveling with the plane. Isn't that weird.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
Delta is even spending more than a billion dollars upgrading
its fleet to offer free Wi Fi to its Skymile members. Currently,
many planes still use air to ground or atg antennas
under the plane.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's not anymore. Not anymore.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
We got the starlink connect to three g's cell phone
towers on the ground, but gaps in towers and remote
areas or flying over water can limit service. With a
satellite based connection, ground based units transmits signals to satellites,
which then relay and unobstructed signal back to the plane.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Wow. Somebody went to school longer than I did put
this together.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Which then relay unobstructed signal back to the plane.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Experts predict this technology will soon become the norm.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I think the future is fast and free Wi Fi.
That seems to be the way that these airlines are going.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I don't understand why you need high speed internet on
a plane, though, don't you just watch a movie? I
mean what are you going to build a build a
three D printer and take it with you. I don't
know what what you need? High speed in no, maybe
AI in the future, that's possible.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
It always has to be weird. Take over the plane? Yeah,
is this has to be weird? Can you remember kros
We were on the air when this happened. I think
when that plane, it was Jet Blue, was coming to
Lax and their landing gear with sideways and it was
going to land with their front landing gear sideways ago
as long it was like fifteen twenty years ago. And
(20:57):
so the people on the plane, because it was covered
on the news, we're watching the news coverage of that.
They're watching a plane about to crash and then you know,
potentially all dying. Well, look at those poor suckers. Way,
that's us. And then they're like flicking the you know,
the the light on and off to see if they
can see themselves in the plane. Yeah, now you can
(21:22):
see yourself going down.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyl from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yes, all right, we have a what was the ports impact? Yes,
the ports not here on the west coast, the west
Coasters made a deal. But the East Coasters they want
a lot more money. Did you see that that number?
They want crows, They want seventy seven percent increase in pay.
And I understand it because over the last four or
(21:51):
five years, the ports have have made a four hundred
billion dollar profit, four hundred billion dollars, and the guys
who work on the docks they want part of that
and they don't want automation to wipe them out like that,
like it's happening in China and Europe.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Those striking dock workers are responsible for over a third
of all US imports and exports, while West Coast port
workers are represented by a different union. Now the ports
here locally are now preparing to take on a surge
in cargo because of this strike. Workers began picketing all
along the East Coast and down to the Gulf Coast
just after midnight.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There's gonna be a lot of food going bad, a
lot of food going bad, a lot of Christmas gifts
that potentially won't be under the tree unless they straighten
this thing out pretty quickly.
Speaker 12 (22:38):
The strike blocking everything from food to automobile shipments across
dozens of ports from Maine to Texas, a disruption that
analysts warn will cost the economy billions.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yes, but I think we might benefit in the short
run here. And I guarantee you there are some ships
right now that are in the ocean that are headed
towards California, San Diego, Los Angele Angelas, San Pedro, Long Beach,
and San Francisco and Portland and Seattle, just to try
to avoid this strike so we might get a lot
(23:08):
more action out here on the West Coast, threatened jobs
and raise inflation.
Speaker 12 (23:12):
The International Longshoreman's Association, representing roughly forty five thousand port workers,
had been negotiating with the US Maritime Alliance for a
new six year contract. Ahead of a midnight deadline, the
workers striking for higher wages, calling for a seventy seven
percent pay increase over the next six years.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
How about that these guys are going for man seventy
seven percent. You never hear that. You always hear like
three percent, the day off four percent, and the day
off you know, longer lunch hour. But seventy seven percent,
that's wild.
Speaker 12 (23:43):
A seventy seven percent pay increase over the next six years.
And they're also walking off the job for protections against
automated equipment like cranes and gates, which they say threatens
more jobs.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
All I'm saying is, if it was up to them,
they'd like to see you auto mission up and down
in every point all the way downa Euston. Well, that
ain't never gonna happen with me. I'd give this guy
what he wants. This guy could bury you. All I'm
saying is all I'm saying it is, if it was
up to the end, So you want to miss up
and down in every port that's right, all the way
(24:15):
down to Euston, Well, God, ain't never gonna happen with me.
That ain't never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
That ain't never gonna happen with me.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
If we can't automate our ports, we'll continue to fall
further and further behind.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Our ports are less efficient than ports in third world
nations like the Congo.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
The workstop age affecting thirty six ports from Maine to Texas,
and it's the first for the Union since nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
All Right, we'll see how that works out. We'll see
how it goes. Fernando Valenzuelon is not in good shape.
Let's find out what's going on with Fernando Valin's ways.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Legend on the field and in the broadcast, booth is
stepping away. In a surprise announcement posted to social media,
the Dodgers said Fernando Valenzuela would be stepping away from
cast to focus on his health. The post said he
aims to return for the Dodgers twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
Good The sixty three year old.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Former pitcher played for six Major League teams, but spent
the longest part of his career with the Dodgers. Blinzuela
was also known for pitching and batting left handed.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, he was the best. I was at the very
first game that he pitched. Yeah, Dodger opener nineteen eighty one,
I believe. And man, that guy was unbelievable. That guy
came out of nowhere. My uncle wrote a song about him.
I remember a little bit of it because Fernando violens
(25:37):
Way comes from Sonora to La Sorda Dodger Blue, and
it's all I remembered. There's more to it, I believe
in the recording of it somewhere. Yeah, there's probably a
recording of it, though, I mean, yeah, there's got to
be you know. I remember when he pitched a no hitter.
I was on my way back from San Diego and
(25:58):
I was listening to it. I was listening to Vin
Scully call the no hitter and driving back from San Diego,
and it was it was sensational. Let me see if
this is it, this next to this, but I'm gonna
find it. But but Vin Scully, one of his great
calls is Fernando Valenzuela's no hitter. And I remember driving
(26:19):
I left San Diego and listened to the game the
entire way back and I drove right past Dodgers Stadium
when Vin Scully called the no hitter and I think
he said something like, you know, if you have a sombrero,
throw it to the wind something like that. That was
such an absolutely just feel good time. Yeah, there was yeah.
When he was pitching, man, it was great. And man,
that stadium was packed. They packed that stadium. Every time
(26:42):
that that guy got on the on the mound. There
was not a seat in the house. Nothing was available.
All right, We're live Conway Show on KFI AM six forty.
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. It is
the Conway Show, all right, dig dog with you. Bellio
just came in eating a tutsi roll and I thought, uh, man,
I don't know the last time I bought a tutsi
roll was. I don't think you go to a store
(00:22):
like a seven eleven go I can't wait to get
a tutsi roll. I think you only eat it when
they're free. I at a Halloween party or a Christmas party,
or a free snack drawer.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, maybe a free snacks. There's a bull sitting out
with a bunch of candy and that's the only one
in there.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
But nobody walks into seven of them and goes, hey,
I can't find the tutsi rolls. And then they came
out the ones where they looked like duty, the big logs.
You know, Oh it's the large one. Yeah, it looks
like your dog. You know they made the they made
me a product more less attractive by turning it into
a dog. Crap? Didn't they have a pink and an
orange one too?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And then the holidays they had red and white and green,
and then they had to you know that, the fourth
of July one the Sinko to mile Ones and I
think everyone just I think it's a wrap on the tessuro.
All right, ones are really good, though the vanillaans are.
Oh yeah, I wantn't know that. I didn't know that.
All right, don't have to go Bellio. Let's go get
(01:16):
Vanilla ones with all right, let's talk to our first guest.
Here is a guy who's been with ABC News for
quite some time. His name is Alex Stone. Welcome to
the program. How you serve forever? Twenty years? I've been hanging.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Around here, you know the you those twenty years? Yeah,
twenty years, been with the ABC, said October fourth. I
got my summer statue about a week ago, the weld
thank you for being in the company for twenty years?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Was that come with a check? Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I wish a pin for your name tag for our
Disneyland like name tags, I can put it on there.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
That long.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, Crozer's been around thirty four years. He has not
even that.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I think you get a snow white at thirty five
years with an actual red apple.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
They're like Broaden statues, a red Apple. You get a
little color.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
In there this year do you get do you get
a free tickets to Disneyland or Disney do Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, yeah, get a year.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
We have a pass they call a silver pass, but
so you can go whenever you want.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Wow. Yeah, you do have.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
To make reservations, yeah, which you didn't have to used
to do. But wait, if there's there's space available, you
can go. Cros's got a great, great question. After twenty
years they gave you that silver pass.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, we've we've had that for quite a while. Every
part of working.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Everybody in the company's got one.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So when when Disney offloaded a bunch of people, did
they pull that pass out of their pocket?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
That goes away as well?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Horrible? Yeah, horrible. All right, let's talk about something more
of sinister and down. I guess drug addiction and death.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, so I'm at right now.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, on the first read down here, this is where
today one of the two doctors in the Matthew Perry
deaf doctor Mark Chavez. He officially entered his guilty play
a couple of hours ago, and we knew he was
going to do it.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's no big surprise.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
But he stood in front of the judge today and
admitted to pretty much all of it, well really all
of it that She asked him, did you know what
the purpose of the conspiracy to distribute ketamine was? He said, yes,
your honor. Did you agree to supply ketamine for money? Yes,
your honor. Did he fraudulently write prescriptions under a different
patient's name without that patient knowing that he was doing
(03:33):
it to give them the Matthew Perry, Yes, your honor.
He went on and on.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But did he get his legal advice on Handle on
the law?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
He said, Handle told me just say yes, your honor
to everything.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So in the end he pleaded guilty. The judge accepted
the guilty plea. He will be sentenced in April. Looking
at the potential of ten years in.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
God, why did this guy when he rolled the dice.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, it could have been a lot worse depending on
what the US attorney was going to go for if
he didn't agree to a plea deal. Look at doctor
Salvador Placentia, the doctor who still runs the clinic, can
still see patients, cannot write prescriptions because the dea took
that away from him. But he is pleading not guilty.
And if he doesn't come to some sort of a
plea deal. He's looking at one hundred and twenty in
(04:24):
federal prison for getting that ketamine to Matthew Perry sow see.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Might have got her dealing the ketemine queen. Is she
still out there.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Jasvine Song huh.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, represented by some well known attorneys in town, Mark
Geragos being one of them. Yeah, she is pleading not guilty.
Mark Garrigos has been saying, look, the US attorney is
not going to be able to prove that she sold
the fatal dose and that is a dose that killed them.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That they're planning on fighting that.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
But yeah, she's in jail, still in federal custody, but
in the county jail, waiting trial because the judge said
she has too much of a flight risk, that she
is dangerous and can't be out on bail.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh man, So anybody else involved? These are the only
two doctors.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, so two doctors.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Then there is Jasviine Sogha, who is the Kennemine Queen,
which again Gara Go says, nobody calls her that and
that was a US attorney thing. The US jorney says, no,
that's what she's known as on the streets. Then there's
Eric Fleming, the intermit mediary between the assistant Awa Bassa
was is his last name, the assistant of Matthew Perry
(05:34):
and Jasvine Songha, so kind of this middle person. And
then Matthew Perry's assistant is the other one. So the
assistant and that intermediary they have pleaded guilty. The doctor
today Chavez pleaded guilty. So the final two are song
Ha and doctor Placentia. And at this point it seems
like they're going to fight it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So I don't think I have heard of anybody in
celebrityhood or athletes or politicians, anybody you know, influencer. These
you know kids are popular on the internet. I haven't
heard anybody who's taken that much ketamine as Matthew Perry.
He was the king of ketamine and she was the
Queen of ketemine. It was like a sort of a
(06:14):
weird royalty.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
King and queen going on there. Yeah, he was taking
a lot of it. I mean had three to six
injections a day. On that final day, LAPD investigator said
he told the assistant Awamasa, yeah, hit me up with
a big one, and he injected them with quite a bit,
and then he went unconscious, went under the water and
died under the water, and it was over at that point.
(06:36):
But yeah, I mean, the real allegation was in what
the doctor today in court affirmed was that they were
making money off of this that they saw him, and
he admitted to it today as a money maker. That
they were getting these vials for twelve bucks a vial,
they were selling them to him two thousand dollars a vial.
It was just change ching coming in even where doctor
(06:58):
Placensia texted doctor child Is saying how much will this
more on pay? That they knew that that he was
a money machine and he was making them a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh that's wild man. All right, so I appreciate you
coming on, Bob. You know you got it. And then well,
well I keep following this case through you. You got it,
all right? Thanks man? All right, there he goes Alex Stone.

Speaker 7 (15:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
We have a real treat for you. Tonight at six
oh five, Bill Medley's coming on with the Righteous Brothers
and they're going to be on a on a tour,
their final tour, final tour. They're calling it the Loving
Feeling Final Tour, And we're gonna find out where you
can get tickets. But this will be your last opportunity.
(16:16):

love this song as well. And there's your final chance
to see it live in person. And they're on their
final tour. All right, let's get into some travel news.
You guys like to travel, right view the audience travel. Yeah, okay,
(16:38):
they're very good. I see the hands going up. I
see them all over the place, all over southern California.
United Airlines is set to roll something out that'll make
you happy.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Nighted Airlines planning to roll out Elon Musk Starling Settle
like internet service across its entire fleet begin.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
How about that high speed internet on the plane. Now,
this is great. We've only had high speed or internet
on the planes for I don't know, maybe ten years
for out about ten years. And every time you have
you know, you're on the airplane and you have internet
(17:16):
and then it it's either not available or it glitches.
You're like, oh, I'm forty five thousand feet over the
middle of the Atlantic and I can't get internet service. Oh.
And also when you get on a plane and they
announced that the internet's not working, it bums you out.
(17:36):
It bums you out the entire flight, especially if like
there's no other options. Yeah, right, movie or anything like that. Yeah,
you're gonna sit there and you know, fall try to
fall asleep and talk to your family.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
But the nice thing about the internet too is we're
never at least if you're you know, you're older than forty,
you're always amazed that you're able to text some body
or send somebody a picture from the plane. And you
always do it like, yeah, i'm flying, I'm the way
to New York. Just want to say hi. And it's
always weird that you can do that.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It started when when you landed, then you all of
a sudden everybody pulled out.
Speaker 11 (18:13):
There, right, yeah, just landed, getting off the plane now.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But if you're if you're coming into an airport that
is surrounded by a big city, like four or five
miles out. You open that phone up and you can
start to get cell service. Yeah, like, oh there it
is like, especially in Burbank, you can start to get
cell service about ten minutes before you land. I know
you're not supposed to do. I get that and the
plane might go down and two hundred and fifty people
might die. But you know you can send a buddy
(18:39):
of text. So there's that too, And then you start
to get cell service. That is great. All right, Let's
find out where when And I guess twenty twenty five
is when this's gonna happen. Begetting in twenty twenty five,
twenty twenty five, right around the corner and with one
big bonus free, is that possible?
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Starlink, a divisional Musk's rocket company, Space, uses thousands of
low orbit satellites to deliver Internet service to planes. It's
currently available on carriers including Hawaiian Airlines and Katar Airways,
but United will be its biggest customer.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yet.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
More and more planes are going to move towards LEO
or low Earth orbit satellite connectivity. It's going to feel
like you're at home.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yes, you know. In some of the flights going over
the Atlantic, if you look out the window, you can
see the satellites. They are like one hundred feet above
the plane, just traveling with the plane. Isn't that weird.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
Delta is even spending more than a billion dollars upgrading
its fleet to offer free Wi Fi to its Skymile members. Currently,
many planes still use air to ground or atg antennas
under the plane.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's not anymore. Not anymore.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
We got the starlink connect to three g's cell phone
towers on the ground, but gaps in towers and remote
areas or flying over water can limit service. With a
satellite based connection, ground based units transmits signals to satellites,
which then relay and unobstructed signal back to the plane.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Wow. Somebody went to school longer than I did put
this together.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Which then relay unobstructed signal back to the plane.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Experts predict this technology will soon become the norm.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I think the future is fast and free Wi Fi.
That seems to be the way that these airlines are going.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I don't understand why you need high speed internet on
a plane, though, don't you just watch a movie? I
mean what are you going to build a build a
three D printer and take it with you. I don't
know what what you need? High speed in no, maybe
AI in the future, that's possible.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
It always has to be weird. Take over the plane? Yeah,
is this has to be weird? Can you remember kros
We were on the air when this happened. I think
when that plane, it was Jet Blue, was coming to
Lax and their landing gear with sideways and it was
going to land with their front landing gear sideways ago
as long it was like fifteen twenty years ago. And
(20:57):
so the people on the plane, because it was covered
on the news, we're watching the news coverage of that.
They're watching a plane about to crash and then you know,
potentially all dying. Well, look at those poor suckers. Way,
that's us. And then they're like flicking the you know,
the the light on and off to see if they
can see themselves in the plane. Yeah, now you can
(21:22):
see yourself going down.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyl from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yes, all right, we have a what was the ports impact? Yes,
the ports not here on the west coast, the west
Coasters made a deal. But the East Coasters they want
a lot more money. Did you see that that number?
They want crows, They want seventy seven percent increase in pay.
And I understand it because over the last four or
(21:51):
five years, the ports have have made a four hundred
billion dollar profit, four hundred billion dollars, and the guys
who work on the docks they want part of that
and they don't want automation to wipe them out like that,
like it's happening in China and Europe.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Those striking dock workers are responsible for over a third
of all US imports and exports, while West Coast port
workers are represented by a different union. Now the ports
here locally are now preparing to take on a surge
in cargo because of this strike. Workers began picketing all
along the East Coast and down to the Gulf Coast
just after midnight.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There's gonna be a lot of food going bad, a
lot of food going bad, a lot of Christmas gifts
that potentially won't be under the tree unless they straighten
this thing out pretty quickly.
Speaker 12 (22:38):
The strike blocking everything from food to automobile shipments across
dozens of ports from Maine to Texas, a disruption that
analysts warn will cost the economy billions.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yes, but I think we might benefit in the short
run here. And I guarantee you there are some ships
right now that are in the ocean that are headed
towards California, San Diego, Los Angele Angelas, San Pedro, Long Beach,
and San Francisco and Portland and Seattle, just to try
to avoid this strike so we might get a lot
(23:08):
more action out here on the West Coast, threatened jobs
and raise inflation.
Speaker 12 (23:12):
The International Longshoreman's Association, representing roughly forty five thousand port workers,
had been negotiating with the US Maritime Alliance for a
new six year contract. Ahead of a midnight deadline, the
workers striking for higher wages, calling for a seventy seven
percent pay increase over the next six years.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
How about that these guys are going for man seventy
seven percent. You never hear that. You always hear like
three percent, the day off four percent, and the day
off you know, longer lunch hour. But seventy seven percent,
that's wild.
Speaker 12 (23:43):
A seventy seven percent pay increase over the next six years.
And they're also walking off the job for protections against
automated equipment like cranes and gates, which they say threatens
more jobs.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
All I'm saying is, if it was up to them,
they'd like to see you auto mission up and down
in every point all the way downa Euston. Well, that
ain't never gonna happen with me. I'd give this guy
what he wants. This guy could bury you. All I'm
saying is all I'm saying it is, if it was
up to the end, So you want to miss up
and down in every port that's right, all the way
(24:15):
down to Euston, Well, God, ain't never gonna happen with me.
That ain't never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
That ain't never gonna happen with me.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
If we can't automate our ports, we'll continue to fall
further and further behind.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Our ports are less efficient than ports in third world
nations like the Congo.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
The workstop age affecting thirty six ports from Maine to Texas,
and it's the first for the Union since nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
All Right, we'll see how that works out. We'll see
how it goes. Fernando Valenzuelon is not in good shape.
Let's find out what's going on with Fernando Valin's ways.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Legend on the field and in the broadcast, booth is
stepping away. In a surprise announcement posted to social media,
the Dodgers said Fernando Valenzuela would be stepping away from
cast to focus on his health. The post said he
aims to return for the Dodgers twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
Good The sixty three year old.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Former pitcher played for six Major League teams, but spent
the longest part of his career with the Dodgers. Blinzuela
was also known for pitching and batting left handed.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, he was the best. I was at the very
first game that he pitched. Yeah, Dodger opener nineteen eighty one,
I believe. And man, that guy was unbelievable. That guy
came out of nowhere. My uncle wrote a song about him.
I remember a little bit of it because Fernando violens
(25:37):
Way comes from Sonora to La Sorda Dodger Blue, and
it's all I remembered. There's more to it, I believe
in the recording of it somewhere. Yeah, there's probably a
recording of it, though, I mean, yeah, there's got to
be you know. I remember when he pitched a no hitter.
I was on my way back from San Diego and
(25:58):
I was listening to it. I was listening to Vin
Scully call the no hitter and driving back from San Diego,
and it was it was sensational. Let me see if
this is it, this next to this, but I'm gonna
find it. But but Vin Scully, one of his great
calls is Fernando Valenzuela's no hitter. And I remember driving
(26:19):
I left San Diego and listened to the game the
entire way back and I drove right past Dodgers Stadium
when Vin Scully called the no hitter and I think
he said something like, you know, if you have a sombrero,
throw it to the wind something like that. That was
such an absolutely just feel good time. Yeah, there was yeah.
When he was pitching, man, it was great. And man,
that stadium was packed. They packed that stadium. Every time
(26:42):
that that guy got on the on the mound. There
was not a seat in the house. Nothing was available.
