can if I am sixty It is the Conway Show.
All right, ding dong, Let's talk about the solar storm
coming and then we'll get to Milton Man. There's a
lot of people that are out of their homes in Florida,
(00:23):
and a lot of people who are sixty five, seventy five,
eighty five.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
They've had it. They've had it.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
They deal with they had to deal with Ian two
years ago, and then back to back hurricanes this year.
They don't have the energy, they don't have the money,
they don't have the time to, you know, to evacuate
every two weeks. And they're done. They're leaving Tampa. You
want to buy a cheap house, go to Tampa. All right,
Alex Stone is with us.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What's up? Go Dodgers? Right? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I guess so are you a Dodger fans? But a right? Oh,
you're a Rockies guy? Okay, huh. As I've said before,
nobody ever says that Bellyo is a big Rockies fan.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
You know, worked there Man and his competitors in Colorado.
But the Rockies weren't around when you were growing up.
When they come in, how old were you? What were
they belly like two thousand and six or sorry, nineteen
ninety six, I think yeah, oh, okay, all right, so
you're what forty five exactly?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Go sixteen and nineteen ninety six?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Okay, oh oh oh you're a you're on an ethan
you were born in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yep, so you can make it any weeks. Oh, I'm
so envious to that. Envious to that.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Guys born on the Thames, you know immediately they you
know how old they are. Boom boom boom. So what's
going on here? We got a solar storm coming.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah, so it's gonna be tonight and yeah, very active
cycle that we're in right now with the Sun.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's spurting out geomagnetic.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Signals and energy and it's throwing it toward Earth and
that can have all kinds of impacts here and then
tonight is going to be one of those nights where
radio communications could have issues.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Power grids can have.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Issues, satellites and GPS can be a little bit off.
But the cool thing is it can also cause the
Northern lights we're not going to see it in LA.
But there was a big solar storm a few months ago,
more severe than what is going to be experienced tonight.
But tonight, all the way down to northern California, so
the Bay area maybe we'll see some of this. All
(02:17):
the way down to This is just topography and now
that is going to hit. But all the way down
to northern Alabama could see some of the northern lights tonight.
And it's the solar flares, a geomagnetic impact to Earth.
And they rate it on a scale of G one
being the lowest to a G five, and a couple
hours ago they upgraded this one to a G four,
and that means the power problems, the GPS problems, northern
(02:41):
lights coming as far south as northern California and Alabama.
So some people may be able to see it tonight.
Probably you know nothing that you're going to see if
you look up tonight in the LA area.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But they say you want.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
To do it one, two, three o'clock in the morning
when it's the darkest. You want to get away from
city light, make sure the sun is all the way
on the other side of Earth, that you're not getting
any kind of sunset light that people go out too early,
but some areas have the lower forty eight they're going
to see in the northern lights tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Maybe, Yeah, that's pretty Have you ever seen them? I've
never seen them, of you, I've not, but.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
My sister did in Detroit, Michigan, or I don't know, Canada,
wherever she was, and she said it's spectacular.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, I mean, I always.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Wanted to go up to Alaska or to Canada to
see them up there. The last one in May, there
were people in Chicago reporting that they saw them, and
in the Pacific Northwest that one went was pretty strong.
And you know, we're in an eleven year solar cycle
right now, which is gonna peak in twenty twenty five,
so we're kind of coming to the peak of it.
(03:48):
Where there was one of these in May, another one now,
there'll be another one in a few months, and then
it will begin to wane. Then we go eleven years,
is it ramps down, it'll be about a decade where
we don't see a lot of these, and it will
go the other way again. So we're in the peak
of it right now into next year, and then we won't.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
See a lot, so I can quote you on that.
And starting next year we're going to go into global cooling.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I don't know about cooling, but maybe not solar flares.
All right, all right, but you know, people that.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Do see the northern lights, they have the same reaction
to seeing an eclipse or the Grand Canyon. Do you
remember the first time you ever been the Grand Canyon?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah? I have never been.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Really wow, growing up in California, in northern California, I
have never been.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But I've seen the eclipse and that's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
When when people see the Grand Canyon for the first time.
I went with my mom, I don't know, twenty years
twenty five years ago, and the first time you see it,
you are speechless on how vast it is and just
how enormous. Oh my god, it's unbelievable. All right, So
northern lights, that's a that's a cool deal. And I
know you're not a huge Dodger fan. But did you
watch a game last night?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I did?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, I did, and they were able to come back.
Now now we got one more game, what tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, should be a lot of fun. Buddy.
Are you do you go to games? You take the kids.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I haven't been in a while, but what we do
yeah on baseball? Yeah, kids don't enjoy it, butuddy, I
really appreciate coming on. Man, you got it all right,
and I will say go Dodgers because you know why not.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
That's right. You live in La Yeah, thing told me.
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Thanks Alex stone on everybody there. He goes with ABC News. Hey,
we've got an alert here. If you live in Long Beach,
I don't know. Long Beach is a cool area. If
you live in Long Beach, you there are certain zip
codes where you have to now boil your water.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I hope you got that. I hope you got that memo.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
The water pressure went down and it's uh now it's
bad vibes with the water in a Long Beach. But
the city of Long Beach, I'm gonna give you the
zip codes here. If you live in any of these
zip codes, you're asked to boil your water before you
drink it. All right, here they are get a pen
out nine zero eight oh seven. It's the the the
(05:58):
horrible lottery that you're winning. You got your tickets out
nine zero eight zero nine zero eight zero seven. Any winners,
No winners are you going to the next one, next
zip code, you gotta boil your water nine zero eight
zero five. Anybody got a ticket nine zero eight zero five?
(06:20):
Nobody going once? Going twice?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sold?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
All right, we move on to the next ticket. Nine
zero eight zero six. Oh you got close bellios? Ah,
all right? Those are your zip codes where you have
to boil your water. Like we live in a country
that has to do that in twenty twenty four. But
the vibes have gone bad, and it says right now
(06:47):
the City of Long Beach they've issued a boil water
notice that affects thousands of customers across parts of three
different zip codes.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Long Beach Utilities Apartment.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They made the decision out of an abundance of caution
after experiencing low water pressure during a significant water main break,
and it happened on Orange Avenue. So again, if you
live in one of these three area codes, I know
a lot of people sort of half assed listen to radio,
and so I'm gonna give them to you again. If
you live in any of these three zip codes, you
(07:21):
got you should boil your water before you drink it.
Nine zero eight zero seven, nine zero eight zero five
nine zero eight zero six, so five six or seven.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm in Long Beach. Oh, boil it up? I know, yeah,
Are you in one of those zip codes?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
No, I'm not pretty close.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Fine, I'd go to the tap then right away and
take a big swig.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What'd you say, Crosy, Your daughter's down there.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Let's saying gen starter Sam in mind, she's in another
zip cut.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I just asked her.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I said, you're not boiling eyes.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
She goes no, oh, okay.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I started naming those zip zippos. I was like, ooh,
that's really close.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And you know what they said on the news. I
was watching the television news. They said you should boil
your water if you live in one of these three
zip codes. And then they said this, but don't drink
it until it cools down.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Unless you're making tea.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Isn't that crazy, right, don't drink boiling water? Twenty twenty
four and we're telling people don't drink boiling water.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Something's going on with Long Beach because there's been just
an inordinate amount of stories coming out of there in
the last month or two, Like when when they they
were like one of the first cities in the Southland
to start kicking people out of the sleeping on the
parks or parks and stuff. So, yeah, they a lot
of things going on in Long Beach right now.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, it's it's a crazy time for Long Beach. And again,
if you're in one of those three zip codes nine
oh eight, five, six and seven, boil your water before
you use it and don't drink boiling water thing.
Speaker 2 (08:49):

kicked ass eight to zero, eight to nothing, eight to nothing,
(09:51):
shut them out.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Was unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
I was wondering based on how that, how that just
horrible game went the other night where people were where
the fans were throwing stuff on the field to the
pow Andres Chavez Ravine. I was wondering how the Dodgers
would respond to that. It almost and I had a
feeling they were gonna be pretty ticked off.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, and I think that they were. It would go
in one or two ways. They had to get you know,
beaten ten nothing or win ten nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Gonna be I had feeling it was gonna be an
either or thing. Either they were going to collapse or
they were going to come out like they were mad.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And what did they? They did?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And I was watching the pregame show there on Fox
Fox Sports, and it was pretty it was you know,
obviously those guys do a great job, but those three
of the four guys who were doing the pregame show,
he got poppy. Remember that guy used play from Boston
and they got Alex Rodriguez or Alex who's.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The guy who used to play for the Yankees? Was it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
A rod And then Derek Jeter. All three of those guys, Poppy, Alex,
and Derek Jeter, all three of them picked San Diego
to win last night. All three David Ortiz and I'm
David Ortiz, what Poppy?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, So all three of those guys picked the Padres
last night. And I'm watching the game last night, and
I'm and I'm watching Fox Sports, and the two commentaris,
I don't know who they were, but one of them says,
you know, Max Mounsey has had a tough run at it,
and being in the playoffs is not a time to
adjust your swing and a time to work on your swing.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Bang.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh, there's a double for Max Moncy. I swear to god,
it's unbelievable. Then the next bat of that comes up
is got the catcher named Will Smith, and they said
the same thing. Yeah, Will Smith working on his swing
here in the playoffs. Not a good sign when you're
deep in the playoffs and still working on your.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Bang home run, home run. I swear to god. It
was bashing him for working on the swing.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
They sucked double bashing him working on the swing, bang
home run.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It was great, it was great. It was You couldn't
even write that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
If you wrote that, people like I don't known, you know, POSSI,
how could that possibly happen back to back where a
guy gets a double and then a home run.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
So the Dodgers win.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Dodgers win, They go on to play another game. That's
Tomorrow night at Dodgers Stadium. So if you're going to
the game, gang, it has never been more important in
the history of the Dodgers. I'm overseelling this. Either to
get to the game early and to yell and waste
your voice and cheer and scream the entire game. You've
(12:37):
got to rattle the padres and you got to support
the Dodgers, and if they win, it will be because
of the fans. Tomorrow night, so the game starts at
five o'clock. I think five o eight is the first pitch.
If I were you and I lived in the San
Fernando Valley noon none, that's when you get in the
(12:57):
car and you get there early. You get your beer,
your hot dogs, you're peeing its, you got your tickets,
You're all set. You get there at one point thirty
two o'clock, you watch a little BP, you have time
to walk around the beautiful stadium. Maybe you haven't seen
it this year. A lot of additions, a lot of
new you know areas, new food, you know, facilities, and
they always bring on new food for every series in
(13:20):
the playoffs. So if you live out where Crozier lives
in Montclair Claremont, then you've got to leave at I
would say twelve maybe twelve thirty. Get in the car
and get there early so you're not panicked. You're not
going to lose, you know, any of the innings. You
hate a lot for that seat. Get there early and
(13:42):
you can listen the KFI all the way there. And
then starting at four o'clock tomorrow, I'll be on and
directing you into the stadium. Will do traffic on the
Hey Angel tomorrow, will do a little stadium traffic for everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Tell me you know you know it.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, a table for four, a seat for the seats
for four for Tony. But yeah, we'll do it tomorrow.
We'll trying to help you get into that stadium. It's
going to start at five oh eight tomorrow. It's the
most important Dodger game of the last week, and they've
got to win tomorrow night. If they win tomorrow night,
(14:18):
you're going to see New York Mets Los Angeles Dodgers
start at Dodgers Stadium on October thirteenth. Whose birthday is that?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You guessed it?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So what a birthday gift that would be if the
Dodgers win tomorrow night. They've got to win tomorrow night.
I was invited to a friend's house to watch the game,
but I'm too nervous. I'm a nervous observer, a nervous fan.
And I told Bellio I did this, and I was
sort of ashamed, and I didn't want to admit it.
But she says she sees it at her house all
the time. If there's an important at bat, and there's
(14:52):
a lot of them. During a Dodger game, a playoff
game where if they lose, they could be eliminated, I
pause it and then I go on eighth speed or
sixteenth speed, and I let that ball slowly get to
the plate, and then I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Like, get it?
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Did he get it?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Did he get it? Did he get it?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
All?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
It takes me nine hours to watch a game. Nine
hours I know it well, but John does that huh.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Oh my gosh, yes with football football, back and forth,
back and forth, pauses and then it's like, okay, see here, No,
he's gonna do a flee flipper box and who's gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Like, okay, just fly. Do you remember when you were
just dating how much you enjoyed that. I loved it.
It was so cute, so cute. Now throwing plates at him. Oh,
I have to leave the room. I'm like, let me
know when you're done with that.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Here the other room, just sitting at the kitchen table
by yourself, smoking cigarettes with my fingers on the table,
like yeah, with the.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Other guy at five seventy five seventy is doing the
runner up runner around, we still hat.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
If you don't know that story, Bellio met her now
husband and a dating contest win a date with Bellio,
the true story, and it was down to two people.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah they did like the Elite eight, you know, the
final four. I got to choose this bracket and yeah
he was the runner up. Yeah, no, he was top choice.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Do you ever though, just stare at the ceiling and
wonder what the other guy's doing? Just last night, there's
a sign that John doesn't listen anymore.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
I relif you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Six forty Conway Show. We had a horrible series of hurricanes.
We had lenkame into Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
all the way up to Tennessee, and a lot of
people couldn't get the word out that they needed help. However,
the people that had Ham radios and either batteries or
(17:08):
some kind of generator were the first people to deliver
the news on how bad it was. And I think
Ham radios are really underrated. I think one of the
most important piece of equipment you can have. If you
live in the mountains or way out of the desert
and you go through, you know, a horrible earthquake or
(17:28):
any kind of storm, man, I'd love I'd be addrest
much easier via Ham radio. All right, Matt Anderson's with us.
He is one of the big tech guys here. He
puts all this equipment together for us. We can talk
on the air every single day.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Nice to see it, but not just me. But what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You're the head of the crew. You're one You're one
of the guys I appreciate, all right, But all right,
so ham radios. First of all, how do ham radios operate?
How do how's a HAM radio different like from than
a CB.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Well, you know, uses.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Different frequency CB like citizen ban you know, it wasn't
you didn't have to have a license. It was kind
of a certain set of frequencies. Ham radio is a
bunch of stuff. It's a definite you know, a bunch
of different bands frequencies people can use. But the big
thing like ham radio, amateur radio versus like cell phones
is it's point to point. Right, So for the most part,
you know, when I talk from my radio to your radio,
it's it's you know, my radio your radio. There's nothing
(18:20):
in between first like the internet cell phone, you know,
it's all there's there's stuff in the middle, and that's
what fails, right, the head ends that you know, different providers,
that's kind of you know, that's why ham radio is
like the fail safe point to point.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So like when you make a cell phone, first of all,
they're not cell phones anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
They're digital I don't know, sell kind of sort of
just like the name. It's like xeroxys.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
But when you make a cell phone calling your cell phone,
you're going to one antenna and then that's beamed through
a wire then to another antenna.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Yeah, so it's going through a provider, right, so it's
going to go to you know, a local cell site.
We were kind of talking. You know, cell phone towers
are typically not on mountains. They're in the city. You know,
they want they all use the similar frequencies, so they
kind of want to be concentrated in one area. If
you put you know, a cell phone tower on a mountain,
you're going to cover too much area. You know, they're
all sharing the same frequency. So I said, yeah, so
you know you're talking to a cell side probably within
(19:15):
ten miles, and then it's going to a provider that's
going to a head end somewhere. You know, in reality,
if I call you in the same room right here,
it might be going a hundred miles to come back,
which is you know, which is kind of silly. But
same with the Internet when we're on Facebook Messenger, it's
going to the head end somewhere coming back, you know,
hundreds of miles for you.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
And iida, let me ask you something. When when I
used to.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Work in evenings, especially on weekends, I would I would
work on a Saturday, then I'd fly to Seattle because
my wife was living up there. I hadn't had a
full time job here. I was working weekends and I
was working, so I'd work here, fly to Seattle, and
when i'd get my car in Seattle to drive down
to where my wife lived, I could listen to KFI
(19:57):
as a local station and it came in as clear
as the local AM station in Seattle.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
How the hell is that happening. So it's through like
different types of propagation. So when people think of HAM radio,
they think of kind of HF, like the high frequency,
like the big antennas on the houses. You know, your
neighbors got a monster, you know. So that's typically what
people think about. And you know, those systems can talk
around the world, but a lot of it has to
do with propagation. So you'll hear a lot of people
talk about, you know, sun spotting and different things that
(20:26):
open up the different atmosphere, different layers to allow you know,
these signals to propagate, so you know, us talking to Japan.
Depending on propagation and what's going on, there may be
days where it's clear as a day and days that
you can't get through it all or you know, anywhere. Right,
But I am same with camfor But.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I can't believe the KFI from Tea Wanta to Seattle
and all the way to Denver when I drive at night,
when I drive across country, it comes in as a
local station. Right, that's outrageous. I know, it's great, it's terrific.
Let me ask you one more question. I know you're
a busy man, you keeping all this equipment working, and
so far stadium is built, it's going to have what
(21:03):
seventy six eighty thousand people in it, and you know,
at one point fifty percent of those people, especially during halftime,
are gonna be on their phone, either texting or calling somebody.
How the hell do they accommodate that kind of traffic?
So love that they have like a DASS like like
a distributed antendant system.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Basically it's an additional cell site that's added to venues
like that, so they get their own systems essentially. Yeah,
they'll be working with the providers and stuff, but they
provide they're you know, at so far, if you run
like a speed test on your cell phone, connect to
their system, they're running like honest to you know, god
five g. You're getting really high speeds where when you
go out of the stadium you're you're just using the
local cell towers.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
You might not be getting that yet.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So they've thought of it. They accommodated that. They're not
just using local towers around them.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
It's built in they if you look up, you see
these massive co accident.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's all part of that. That's why lots of money,
all right.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So if you do live in a wooded area or
in the desert in the mountains, a hand radio could
save your life.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
It's cheap, it's fifty bucks to get a license. You
have it pretty much for your whole life. Definitely recommend it.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
And there's still there's a Ham radio store in Burbing.
I can't remember the day there used to be. There's
a Ham radio outlet. It's gone, I believe the only one.
I think there's still one in San Diego and Anaheim.
Oh that's horror, but it's funny, you know.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
It's guys that I used to go there as a kid,
that you know I would see through broadcasting in such
a small community.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
But amateur radio.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Ham radio has kind of been like the starting place
for a lot of people, for broadcasting and a lot
of different careers.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
When I was nine years old or ten, I wanted
a CBE for my birthday and my dad was nice
enough to get me one from a radio shack, and
I put it up, put the intent up, and then
literally I was talking. I was nine, and I was
talking to truck drivers. I could pick them up coming
out of Calabasas and talk with them all the way
(22:51):
till they get to about Glendale, and I could talk
to them all the way down the freeway, especially at night.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Was very clear.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
And I said to my dad, maybe ten years ago,
I said, Dad, when you got me that CD or
CD and your nine year old kid is talking to
forty five year old mail truck drivers till three o'clock
in the morning, did that alarm you? And he said, Tim,
I never thought about it until just now.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Is that crazy? That's funne Like, if I had a
nine year old talking to truck drivers all night, I'd
be like, what's going on with this guy? What's going
on with this kid? But you do a spectacular job.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And the other guys who keep the station, I want
to know their names because they've got to get more
shout outs on the station.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Who keeps this station afloat? All right? So much so?
Speaker 8 (23:33):
Doug, Maurice Rich wait, Doug all right, Maurice right, Rich right, Dave,
Ricky Casey.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I've worked at several stations. When anything breaks down. Here,
you guys are on it. I appreciate that. That's what
that's what we try to do. It's nothing ever breaks around.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
This is a nice studio. I haven't been here in
a while because it's it's solid. It's pretty nice.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I mean, the nice thing about you guys is we
never see you because none of this crap breaks down.
I worked at another station where the where things literally
would catch fire. Oh wow, that's exciting. Yeah, I mean
you're looking, go wow, it looks like that pot's on fire. Yeah,
smoke it something going out with it, old old days, buddy.
They all do a great job. Thank you for coming on.

ing down.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It is the Conway show Ding Dong. We we all watch,
or at least a lot of us did. We watched
that storm come in last night, and ma'am, that was
that was wild. I don't think it was the you know,
people were rating it. The locals there let them saying,
(24:51):
you know, it was a five, it's a six, it's
a seven, whatever, And nobody said it was a ten
out of ten until the more and they saw the flooding.
That is when people flipped out, and there was there
was a lady who was on a bicycle, she was
on CNM and she had lost her home. It was
(25:13):
completely distraught. She was on the verge of tears. She
said she lost her home two years ago to Hurricane
Ian and she had just rebuilt, just moved back in,
and then Helene hit. She had some damage and then
she was wiped out by Milton. And she was probably
(25:36):
in her seventies, late seventies, and she didn't have the
energy to do this again. And she didn't have insurance
because it was too expensive her house. Her insurance, her
flood insurance was going to be more than her mortgage.
Her flood insurance was going to be twenty thousand dollars
(25:57):
a year for flood insurance with a fifteen percent deductible,
and she couldn't afford it, didn't take it, and she
got wiped out. So this idiot on CNN, Bill Weir,
comes up while she's looking at her house and he says, hey,
you're pretty devastating. She goes, yeah, and she told them
(26:17):
the whole story and how she lost it. In the end,
she got got it back together, lost a little bit
of it in the flooding of Helene, and then got
wiped out in Milton, just took her home off the
off the foundation and it's a total loss, total loss,
just been completely rebuilt in the last year.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
And she said, yeah, it was just it was devastating.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
And then this idiot, Bill Weird, who used to be
a local guy out here, I think he did ABC
News or KBC, he.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Said, well, what do you think about global warming now?
And it just wasn't the right time.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It just wasn't the right time to start that conversation
with her, that conversation you have in studio with the
other anchors.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
You can have it. You know, I'm not saying it's
the wrong time to have it. You didn't really say that,
did he?
Speaker 6 (27:08):
He did.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I got the audio at home. I'll bring it in tomorrow,
he said. And she said, well, I don't know. I
don't know if you know, if all the scientists are
on the same page, and he said they are, it's
locked off.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
What isn't that crazy? I mean, how how? I just
cold that man has gotten He used to be afraid.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
He used to be like, come on the station with us,
Oh did he Yeah, he's a great guy. He's turned
to a complete moron. It's just a complete idiot. And
you know, his entire life is global warming and climate change.
And I'm cool with that, but not while this woman
has has a major life decision to make, like should
(27:52):
she kill herself or not. She's got no money left,
her house is gone. She is about to leave everything
she owns and and go north to south, you know,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, wherever it is. She wanted
to go north to get out of Tampa because she
can't handle it anymore. And this guy's beating her up
with the with the global warming. It's unbelievable. Wantbring the
(28:14):
audio and tomorrow. I got the audio. I recorded it.
I pressed record when he said that because I couldn't
believe it. I couldn't believe it even a you know,
at a time like that, to hit this poor woman
over the head with global warming while she's lost everything
is outrageous, outrageous, and and I'm.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Why didn't you just ask her how you feeling?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, I should be ashamed of himself, you know, f
that guy Bill Weird, lazy, Yeah, just a real just
a just a cold character Hitler type.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
That's what people call, right, the people.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's always the you know, they go to when somebody
really hates somebody in politics, always like Hitler.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
He's escalated, No, he's like Kitler. So I hear that
all the time, you know about Trump, always like Hitler.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
So I would say that to my daughter, Like we'd
be driving around, my daughter and say, hey, you see
that guy just threw a paper cup out of his window, Like, oh, well,
he's Hitler.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
You know that's a Hitler would have done.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And then she went on to like tell her friends, Yeah,
my dad's always talking about Hitler. Only no, no, no, no, no, no, babe, babe, babe,
I'm making fun of the people who call people Hitler.
That's what I'm doing, making fun of them. For calling,
you know, the the dumbest things. God, Hitler, like.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
You and me, man, just sometimes you say stuff that
people do and you spend half your time going no,
I do that.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
A lot lately, and then that gets me to think
and like maybe they're right. You know, maybe I am
just as you.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Know, idiot, absolutely question yourself. Sure, yeah, maybe they're onto something.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
It's like, oh, he's you know, he's talking about Hitler.
Maybe he's a fan. Like, no, he's not, Like I
guess no, he's not. He's just I'm making fun of people.
Do do that for God's sakes, all right. The Lieutenant
Dan guy, this guy has become really popular.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
He has one leg.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
He lives in a boat, all right, right off this
in a sailboat off in one of the harbors there
in Tampa Bay. And he's become like this big local celebrity.
And he was going to ride out the storm in
his boat and he made it. Everyone thought he was
going to die. Everyone thought he was done.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
This guy made it, Lieutenant Dan. Yeah, cat you on
News Nation.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
We just wanted it.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Are you okay? I'm fine, I'm saying wet.
Speaker 10 (30:31):
He's fine, he's getting wet. Are you concerned when the
water comes back in.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
I don't know what you're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Hanging right waiting for the water.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
Come in like bet.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
He said, he's hanging in tight weight. Oh boy, it's
coming in here again. I okay, okay, Keemi posts. So
the good news is there's some people up here, I
think who are sort of trying to keep an eye
on him, but just to show Louise, I mean, it's
not a good situation because the.
Speaker 9 (30:54):
Water has receded.
Speaker 10 (30:55):
So he's like his boat is now basically touching.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
The floor of the bay.
Speaker 10 (30:59):
And what he was saying, if you couldn't hear, is
he's concerned. What he's wondering is what's going to happen
when the water comes back in.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
So that was yesterday and now they go looking for
him today. The Lieutenant Dan character in Tampa.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
It was pretty mellow.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The wind picked up guy survived.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
The guy wrote it out on a sailboat tied up
to a dock in Tampa Bay Harbor. Remember yesterday where
the mayor said, even if you're in your home, it's
gonna be a casket.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You're gonna die. This guy wrote it out in a
sailboat in the harbor and he was fine.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
It was pretty mellow. The wind picked up for a
little bit, bounced me around. At one point last night,
I was getting bashed up against this wall. So I
went out and I cut my anchor line to get
away from it. So I had a two hundred and
fifty dollars anchor shitting down there that I gotta go
in and get. And you weren't afraid at all last night.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
I'm not scared anything what I've been through in his
weather or nothing. And I put my faith in God.
God told me to come here.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I get a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
There's a lot of people on you know, Fox, MSNBC,
CNM when they interview them, a lot of people relied
on their faith last night to survive that.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I get it, man, I understand.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
When I was I had to do a lot of
trips back to Tampa Saint Pete area when my dad
passed away, so I went there numerous times over a
couple of years. There are so many guys exactly like
that that just are in that area that you get
to know, and they're they're the greatest characters.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yeah, they really are.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
And and there's something different about you know, the homeless
that live in Florida and the homeless that live out here.
I think the people in Florida have a different and
a better connection with homeless people. It's weird. Yeah, they
treat them better. They you know, they treat them like
friends or family. They're constantly helping them out. And the
homeless people are also giving back. You know, they don't
(32:45):
break into stores, they don't you know, knife you on
the metro.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
There's a larger amount of interaction. Yeah, social interaction between
homeless people and people that live in those areas.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I wonder why that is.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Wonder why ball I like to offer up my opinion, please,
is we live in they look at me, capital of
the world. Everybody's concerned about themselves, you know, not about
other people, just themselves.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Ding dong that's right. I think that's a ding dong
means look at me.
Speaker 9 (33:18):
God told me to come here. God told me five
years ago. I was in Colorado. He put on my
art Campa Florida.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
And get oh, I gotta get old this guy.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I gotta get old this guy and see who God
likes Tomorrow with the Dodgers Padres, I gotta be on
the right.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
End of this thing tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (33:32):
He God told me to come here.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
That's great. I believe that God.
Speaker 9 (33:35):
Told me five years ago. I was in Colorado. He
put on my art Campa Florida and get a boat.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Wow. Man, that God is specific sometimes.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He's in Colorado just hanging out. And God said Tampa
boat boom, and he did it.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
I woke up one morning with doubt on my heart,
and that's all I could think about. I left Colorado,
I went to North Carolina. Left North Carolina, came to Florida.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
I've been in Florida for five years, stuck on the
East coast, never came.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
And this guy is all doing it with ah leg
one leg. He has one that's completely cut off, right
right right above the right below the knee.
Speaker 9 (34:10):
In March, I came over. I found this boat for
twelve hundred buck.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
I bought it.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
I called to Tampa, and guess what can't flood? Not today,
not yesterday, but during the last one. Helena. Helena was way.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Worse than what this one was. I mean, they were
calling him for a cat five. I didn't know what
to expect. What came, what happened last night was nothing
compared to Helena. So you think of another storm, Rolster Tampa.
You're going to remain on your boat.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'd remain on the boat no matter what.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
There he goes. That guy's a stud.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
He's got his own ey gofund me there too, but
he's he's onto something, he said. You know, very rarely
do boats flood, you know, boats rise with the tide
what they do.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
That's you know.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
When I saw that movie originally with my mom is
up in Canada, I didn't know. I don't know any actors,
and I thought that they hired an actor with no legs.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I didn't know that. I didn't know who that actor was.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Where's he been and what's his next move? I don't know.
But I joined the band right.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
That guy made it man, Lieutenant Dan Ding Dan with
that guy, yeah, Gary Denise, Yeah, that guy does garises
so much for the troops.
