So Pikeito Moss forty years that's correct. Wow, congratulations, Thank you?
How did you make it through the pandemic? Did you
get knocked out?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We we didn't get knocked out. We did whatever we
needed to do. We borrowed whatever we needed to borrow.
We we shifted, We pivoted every single day. You know,
wasn't tough every day?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Was it tough every day? It was different every day.
You know, we we we never thought of it as
tough because that would be scary. So we just we
got up every morning. What do we need to do today?
What are the rules this week?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Did the rules change? And the rules changed?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
An awful lot of paperwork alone for the a staff
was just a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
There were so many different things going on.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
But what was the difference is that customers were so
happy that we were still serving food.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I love I love piqito mons. I go to the
one on Olive here. The food's great.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I know the ladies worked there, they and they get
to know you and they know what you you know
you want and and it really is it's always good.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's always a lot of food.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
And the nice thing about when I go there, I'd
say about half the time I go in there, Burbank
cops or Bourbank fires in there as well.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, they're good, good, they're good patrons of um. Yeah,
they love that place, they do. How many stories were
you up through total at the height?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
At the height, I think we had about eleven.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And then and then we you know, we circled did
things half forty years happens, and you know, you lose
at least Sunset I was paying eighty five hundred dollars
a month for eight wow, for eight hundred square feet.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And then the rent went to twenty thousand dollars? What
on Sunset on Sunset and what Sunset Plaza area? Okay,
oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It was a good area, but it wasn't worth twenty thousand. Yeah,
that's really steep in that area. I don't know how
those restaurants stay afloat.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I have no idea. I don't sell drugs, so we said, okay,
we'll have to leave.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
The original one is the one near Universal Studios.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Studio City, that little place right there, the original six
hundred square feet.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I remember when that first opened, you know, I was,
you know, twenty one, and it was different than everybody else.
You know, you were one of the first guys that
cooked in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, it's one thing that we wanted to do. We
want to be fresh to everything. We wanted to be.
We wanted to change.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I looked at everything in Mexican food at that time,
but what was most of the Mexican food was all
on the same plate with sauce and cheese on top.
That's right, and so I sell tonado stuff. I wanted
to make it so different and serve everything fresh, fresh, artillas, fresh,
everything out fresh, because it made a difference every single
day and we ended we try to end the night
with almost nothing in our pins.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
The word of mouth got out about the about Bikito Mas,
the one near Universal Studios because we used to drive,
you know, we used to I went to Birmingham High
School in the valley, and you know, towards the end
of the night, because you guys stayed open late.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We we would drive to Universal. That was unheard of.
We'd never go to any other restaurant. We always go
to some place in the Ncino or Tarzana and we'd
make the trip all the way to Universal just to
go there.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, thank you for that. Yeah, we should be up
untill one am. Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, yeah, And there was there and I remember at
one point, yeah, there was a security guy out there because
everyone got crazy. But then it calmed down and calmed down,
but it was it was a cool place to hang.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You know what. And we've adjusted every year since then.
You know, we're still there, We're still got the patio,
we're still open in the same place, in the same place. Yeah,
what was that with that?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Without telling me, there was something that there was like
a blockbuster or there was there was like a juice place.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What else was in that center? There is there was.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
A good neighbor restaurant. Oh that's right, good neighbor restaurant. Right,
Eddie who was a waitress now was the owner.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh, wow, okay, all right, so you have seven restaurants now, Yes, Piketo,
mas uh and the uh and Edgar worked for you.
Let's put Edgar on the microphone here for a second.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Egg.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Edgar used to work for a Piquito Moss.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Right, that's right. Yeah, and and for how long? Forty
forty years? Wow, I couldn't get out.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Huh. It's like prison. Huh. So but you now you
own some restaurants. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So so Kevin, if a guy works for you long enough,
they can buy one of your restaurants.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, but you have different people that that can that
inspire you to help them open a restaurant. And Edgar,
after twenty years, we weren't growing fast enough, so we
want to get him his own place. So he decided
he wanted to be and we decided he would. He
would be the first perfect franchise e.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's great. And now he has three. Where is your
first door? Do you open up in Woodland Hills?
Speaker 8 (04:46):
You know?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And then you have one in Sherman Oaks and then
Sino and Sherman Oaksman.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And the one in Sino is where Numero Uno used
to be. That's correct, yeah, I like that Tony across.
That's right, Fazzios used to be there. I go, I'm
old school buddy. I go back to Terry York Chevrolet
and the spaghetti and the spaghetti factory.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Back there. Guy born and raised down there, you know,
not in that area.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
My wife was upset when the Numeruno left and then
we took over because she is a huge num She
was a big Numeral, huge fan, huge, so she was
a little upset.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, look, this is an old joke, I hope.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I know you probably already heard it, but they would
have been much more honest with everybody if they called
that place numeroal dose.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You know, I'm telling you a thing dog with it?
But where did you live?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Where did you get inspired by it?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
What's your background?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I was working at Gramma's Chinese Theater as a dormant
in high school. It's actually where I met my wife,
but we didn't connect until eight years later. But I
was asked to give somebody a ride home. Actually a
girl needed a ride home after a midnight show, so
could she? I gave her ride home an Echo Park,
what a dormant and she's she was at our gas
(06:00):
the other night she's still a good friend. She's I
was giving her ride home and at Sunset and Alvarado
there's a car wash still there. At the same time,
there was a little taco stand at two o'clock in
the morning attached to this car wash, and she says, stop,
let me buy you a taco. That put to that time,
I think I'd only had like corporate tacos, right, not
(06:20):
real tacos, not real Mexican food. And my mother, most
wonderful person in the world. She tried to keep us
kids fed, five boys and two girls, right, boiss a
lot so they don't stop eating. So she was we
had a lot of bologney, a lot of meat loaf,
a lot of a lot of spam, a lot of
peanut butter and jelly and oatmeal, and a lot of
(06:41):
meat loaf.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And yeah, six kids in our family too. That's our menu.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
That was the menu. So I didn't have a palette.
I had no idea what flavor was. That's right, right,
So at two o'clock in the morning, she buys me
a cagnita's plunge out of taco, and my mouth exploded.
I couldn't believe flavor existed, and it was like, oh
my god, gosh, this is I was unbelievable. So I
had three of them, and I just I couldn't believe it.
(07:05):
And every night I would go back there Naa. And
then the next decade, while I was working corporate for myself,
every vacation I would go to Mexico because I was
so inspired by the food. I was a sort of
culinary orphan from my my palate, so I adopted Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Good for you?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah all right, biquito Mons you Also, we're gonna give

Speaker 9 (09:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Conway Show. The Dodgers loss that sucks. You know, Dodgers
no good lost seven to three at Dodgers Stadium. There's
some people listening to the radio still trying to get
out of there. That's possible at six thirty. It's possible,
not likely, but certainly possible. A lot of trap last
night leaving that game. Ah, it's a traffic all right.
(10:03):
Let's find out a little more about the Dodgers. Find
out what's going on with these Dodgers. They lost, But
let's find out there's any new information we didn't know.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
You know, the Dodgers were riding a wave of momentum
entering the National League Championship Series after those two games
against San Diego Games four and five into last night,
three consecutive shutouts by the Dodgers. But that all came
to a screeching halt today in Game two of the NLCS,
as the Mets hit the Dodgers early and often. Ryan
(10:32):
Brazier gets a start and Francisco Lindor takes him out
of Dodger stadium s. He leads off the game by
sending that offering into the visitors bullpenal one nothing lead.
Second inning, landon nach Is in, bases loaded, and Mark
Viento's unloads in with a grandson gave him the Big Apple.
A six nothing leads.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, now you thought it'd be over at six nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Now Dodgers clawed back, got three runs back, and they
could have won this game.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Fifth inning, the Dodgers finally get on the board and
it smacks Munchie, that funky Munchie. The solo shot to
right cut some Eslite to six to one, and they
cut into the lead even more. Six hitting. They load
the basis Tommy Edmonds grounder.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, you gotta be careful with this.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
That funky munchie.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I could go I could go south on you
pretty quickly.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
That funky munchie, That funky Munchie.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Minute.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Ah, let's give this a shot. Maybe, Look, this might
be too close, this might be this. Oh they dumped it.
They had to dump it. Yeah, well I understand dumping
that though, because it does you know, if you take
enough syllables out of that, it does.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It is the F word and it smacks munchie. Yeah, sorry,
I can't play it.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Look, if it was cable, we could do it. But
it's done and.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
It smacks munchie, that funky munchie.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
You can turn that into the effort pretty quick.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Solo shot right.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Definitely got a nice rombrato on that though.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You know, it was pretty good.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah, that funky munchie, that funky monzie. That's pretty cold,
that funky munchie. The solo shots all right, cuts some
Messlita six to one, and they cut into the lead
even more. Six hitting. They load the basis Tommy Edmonds
right there.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
There you go. All right, Dodgers lost.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
All right, tenth caller Piquito Moss giveaway. If you're the
tenth caller, you get the forty big ass burritos.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't know if that's what they call it, but
I think that's what.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You get, forty big burritos for a big party. So
one eight hundred five to two oh one five three
four one eight hundred five two oh one five three
four and you're gonna get the the Poquito Moss tenth caller,
Piquito Moss celebrates forty years, and you're gonna get a
(12:52):
forty burrito party platter man, you have a whole group
of people over enjoy that one.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
All right, big dog, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So the Sporting News is the Dodgers loss, and the
Clippers have their very first game tonight. It's a preseason game,
but still you can go to the stadium and check out.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Let's get into this here.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
A jewelry heighst brazen midday jewelry heist.
Speaker 10 (13:23):
All thieves still more than one hundred thousand dollars worth
of jewelry right in front of the store owner.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
Happened a month ago in Orange County, and the duo
still hasn't been arrested.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Kay Cow News reporter lose Deria Carrierro spoke.
Speaker 12 (13:35):
To the store owner.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
This STEP's certainly not like one that you would normally imagine.
So it wasn't a smash and grab. Rocks weren't thrown
through the windows or even the glass cases that are
enclosing all of the jewelry.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
These thieves actually just.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
Walked in casually and rocked right back out through this door.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
They don't care, They have no menity.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
This is the moment. Store owner Sammy Solomon says two
thieves walked out with eighty four rings while he was
working behind the counter.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
You know, I don't know what's say. It's a lot
over one hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He says.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
It happened on September seventeenth, just after three thirty pm
when these two came into the store.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
So they asked me about jewelry. I don't have that
display because of the accidents that happened before.
Speaker 10 (14:23):
Adding his place has been broken into several times before.
Why adding his place has been broken into several times before?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Man, You know, they always say the crime's going down,
but you asked the store owner of crime's going down,
and they said, no, it's all going way up astronomically.
Every night we can do a story on a store
or I don't know, grocery store, a seven to eleven,
jewelry store, drug store. They're always getting hit, especially in
(14:54):
the valley.
Speaker 10 (14:55):
So Solomon eventually brings out four or five boxes of merchandise,
but before he could show all of it, he gets
a call that he answers. That's when it all unfolded.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
She pulled one of the boxes, put it on the sea,
and the guy is talking to me to block my
vision so I don't see him.
Speaker 10 (15:13):
Eventually, the woman switches places with the man and starts
talking to Solomon while he's on the phone.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
While she's talking to me blocking my vision, he was
taking the box from the sea, put it into his underwear,
covered it with his T shirt, very easily walking out
as if there's nothing happening.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
It wasn't until Solomon was closing that he realized something
was off.
Speaker 12 (15:36):
I said, I am missing a box.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh man, his heart probably dropped, huh, I said, I
am missing a box, missing a box.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I stayed till twelve o'clock looking for that box everywhere
in the store.
Speaker 12 (15:49):
No.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
Solomon reviewed footage and couldn't believe what he saw, adding
never in sixty years of being in the business has
he seen something like this.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I feel like this is an invasion of properties that
people work hard for.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Guy works his ass off, probably makes less than one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, and now he's
got to replace that with something.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
He called the Orange Police Department and says he filed
a report. Now Solomon wants their faces out in hopes
that someone recognizes this man and woman who took away
five years of hard work in seconds.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
They're going to get caught one way or another.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
If not this time, next time.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
And this is just one of several cameras propped up
at this business, but they certainly did not deter these
thieves from stealing, of course, over one hundred thousand dollars
worth of jewelry. At this time, Orange beating telling us
they're looking into this case.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, you can see the if you go to YouTube,
you can see the pictures there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
If you have been waiting for the right moment to
chip in.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Heaven't by, you can see it there. It's these people
own stores. Man, They got to deal with this every
single day. Every single day. Somebody coming in doesn't want
to get a job, doesn't want to work, doesn't want
to go about it the you know, the hard way,
just wants to take that that money you've.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Earned and split and no mercy whatsoever. Unreal. All right,
we're live. We have our tenth caller, Bellio. Who who
won the big burrito contest?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Who's that belly is over there putting some stuff away.
But yes, we got our winner. Thanks for calling. All right,
I'm not calling.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'm not a caller richer. Oh okay, I thought you
thought you were stilling three bars.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
No, no, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from kf I am six forty proje.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Have you seen the damage in Florida? I know you
spent some time in there in Florida. I can't believe
how many homes have been damaged damaged by these two hurricanes.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Yeah, yeah, on the water damage alone.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
There this one guy who had a beautiful hotel, like
a mom and pop. I think it was like a
twenty five room little motel right on the ocean, and
it was beautiful at a tiki bar and a pool
and really well decorated. They just showed it before and
after photos. Before it looked great. Afterwards there was four
and a half feet of sand on the entire property.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I don't know how you get rid of all that?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, right, where's it go?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I don't know. Bulldozer back to the beach, I guess.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
But they say there might be tens of thousands of
homes that have either been destroyed or significant water damage.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I believe that, know, in that area.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
And how many are just dilapidated homes already in that area?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does seem like that. It does
seem like those you know, you would think if you
lived in Florida, and maybe it's a money issue, probably is,
but you'd build a home that could with stay this.
But it looks like every single one of these homes
that were destroyed, it looks like it was built you know,
with like like I built them.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Well, my dad passed away in No. Six.
Speaker 11 (19:10):
He had two houses beside each other, was one lot
with an old old house, and he, uh, he cut
the property in half and built the house that he
lived in next to it. So when I went out there,
he had the old house and the new house, and
that old house was definitely that. I mean, we weren't
even six blocks to a mile from the beach, so
you know, you get all that weathering too.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, and it does wear and tear on these homes. Absolutely,
And my I don't I've never met your dad, but
another the the the amount of stuff I have heard
about him, I have a feeling that may not maybe
not everything in that new house was permitted.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, is that possible?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Do you mean like they, like you didn't go through
all the proper channels when he built it himself, or did.
Speaker 11 (19:53):
He You know, that's a little tough to say, but
it wouldn't surprise me one way or the other, Like
like can considering he it was the house he was
living in.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Maybe so.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
But he was pretty good about about having that OCD
about getting things right, that's right, Okay, he took a
little pride in his construction. But at the same time, yeah,
I'm sure there was a corner cut here there.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
My my grandfather had a piece of property in Canada
and he divided up into three and built three homes,
and then when he went to sell them, the city
is like, you don't have permits for any of this.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You don't have any permits for your own home.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
He was fascinated by the fact that when he came
out here and visited that he would see all the
construction out here and with all the issues that that
California has with termites. Why houses aren't made with steel studs.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh yeah, you're right, yeah, yeah yeah. But I'm I'm
I'm surprised. You know, we had we had what I
thought were termites, and so I left it up to
uh my wife Jen. I said, hey, call somebody you
know and get a couple of estimates on termites. And
so one of the plays she calls was is it
(20:57):
West Coast termite? They're an advertiser, and so she called
him and they didn't have any idea that you know.
I worked here at KFI and the guy came over.
He did a thorough examination, probably there an hour and
a half, and he captured some of the bugs that
we saw, and he said, these are flying ants, they're
not termites. You don't have any problem with termites. Just
(21:19):
get a guy over here to you know, to get
rid of right on. But I mean, it was so great,
was such a great relief. You know that that we're there.
They're on this station. They're a big advertiser. The guy
comes over and he's you know, and and like he
said on on the commercial, they're just honest people.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It's it's it's great to see that in action.
Speaker 11 (21:40):
There is not a better feeling at working here knowing
when we when I have to use an advertiser that
that we use for a service, to see how well
they do, and like you say, I go out of
my way to not let them know where I where
I work. And like but like Moon Valley, I had
that Alvacado that I bought as much. I went over
(22:00):
there this weekend and picked out a new tree because
this heat killed the one that we got. And they
were telling me that it's been a bad season because
of the heat they've lost they've ended up having to
replace a lot of their trees. But that's part for
the course and it's part of the service that you get.
So I was like incredibly impressed because I called them
up and they said, oh, yeah, we already had your
scheduled to come out to fascinate, come out and take
a look at your tree and probably replace it.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
And so they they have they done it.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
Yet we went on, we went yesterday and picked out
the new one, and they set us a date in
the beginning of next month to replace it.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And they come out and replace it for free.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Absolutely, that's a great gua pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
I've had not to sound like a commercial, but it's
when I'm blown away by something like that, I'm definitely
vocal about it.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I remember when I discovered Moon Nursery, the one in
North Hollywood or Sun Valley wherever it is off of
Sherman Way, and I went in there and I saw
these big, huge, beautiful trees and they were a little pricey.
So I'm like, yeah, you know, I don't no, no,
I mean, do you guys deliver? And he goes, deliver,
You don't deliver, huh. He goes, no, no, we deliver and
(23:07):
we plant them for you and we guarantee him. I'm like, okay,
all right, so I get the price.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Now, I just started. They just bought equipment to do
to take out trees. You know, the stump grinder. Yeah,
those ones that those giant ones that they have. Now,
they just invested in those and said that's been a
pretty good business for them too.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
So they do that as well.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, and then they have a thing that I've used
and in the past, and our trees in four years
have gone from our fight has went from six footers
to twenty three footers twenty five footers. But it's called
that moon juice.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Oh yes, that has been great for a lot of
our trees.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I don't know what's in it, but if you want
your trees to grow, you know, overnight moon juice.
Speaker 11 (23:47):
My daughter bought me a little line tree, just a small,
little teeny one about a foot and a half tall,
a couple of years ago, and I planned it hadn't
really done much of anything.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
It was okay, but it was just sitting there.
Speaker 11 (23:55):
We started putting the moon Juice in like two months ago,
three months ago, and it's doubled inside.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, wow, that's great. That's a good company that Yeah.
The moon is the Moon Valley in the vallet. Yeah,
Moon Valley Nursery. They're good at what they do, man,
They're terrific. All right, weve got to take a break here.
We're live.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Dodgers lose. It's one to one.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
They're gonna go to New York and play Wednesday Thursday
and Friday in New York City and then hopefully come
back here at Dodger Stadium. Unless they can win all
three in New York that'd be cool as well. And
then the Clippers. Maybe you're going to the game right now.
It's a Clipper preseason game at the new Arena, the
into An Arena.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You can see what the new place looks like. It's
going to be special.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Congratulations to Alberto Martinez from West Hills.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
He won the forty burritos.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, guy's gonna have a party in West Hills. Knock
it out and West Hills forty burritos from Paquito moss Man.
What a day that's gonna be. What a day all have?
We got a the great shakeout is coming up. Gotta
be earthquake ready. I think we're next. I think we're next.
You know, we've got Milton and Helen and all the
(25:12):
storms back east. I hope and pray we don't have
the big one.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But the one thing.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That all the earthquake experts will agree on.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Is when the big one hits.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Nobody listening right now, in southern California, We'll have to
ask somebody, a friend or a family member, Hey.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Is this the big one?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Nobody will say that. When the big one hits, nobody
will say is this the big one. You'll know it instantly,
and so we got to get ready for it. You
gotta have a bag, you gotta have a plan, especially
if you have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You got to protect those kids.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
Look at this damage. Living in southern California, it may
frequently cross your mind, when will the next big earthquake hit.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
We're afraid of earthquakes because they're sudden. We can't predict them.
You don't see them coming.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
That's right, doctor Lucy Jones. Doctor Lucy Jones, and me I.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Sat down with seismologist doctor Lucy Jones, who is the
first to acknowledge common fears of injury or earthquake related
deaths like those seen in the ninety four Northwich quake.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, it's a little hysterical to get that worried about
an earthquake because most of people listening right now have
no idea and cannot name one person who's ever been
injured in an earthquake, let alone have been killed in
an earthquake. Chance are You probably don't know anybody who's
ever been killed or injured in a quake.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
But should that still be top of mind thirty years later?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, maybe not maybe maybe not,
maybe maybe not.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
She says, the earthquake's inevitable, the disaster is not.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
She does, however, point to Okay, I like that, right.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
She continue to soothe people's you know, nerves and fears.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
The earthquakes inevitable. Okay, the disaster is not.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
That's a good rule of thumb.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
She does, however, point to one specific risk. Oh, she says,
could impact all of the La Metro area a big
quake along the San Andrea's fault.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Oh, water's potentially our worst problem. And every one of
the aqueducts that bring water into the southern California area
cross the San Andreas Fault.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Oh no, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Who plan that?
Speaker 12 (27:38):
And every one of the aqueducts?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All right, how we get one hundred percent of.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Our water that bring water into the Southern California area
across the San Andreas Fault and will be broken when
that earthquake happens.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We're not going to have any water stock up on
water stock up.
Speaker 12 (27:54):
It appears that there is a huge water main that
has broken here.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Similar like this occurred in ninety four. Comprehensive solutions to
fully strengthen the piping network crossing the San Andreas would help,
but for now, she warns, we're looking at a crippling
repair timeline that would likely become life altering for millions
of people.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, we don't have any We won't have any water.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
We won't have any external water for a minimum of
six months. Why we won't have any external water for
a minimum of six months?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
No more water, no more showers, no baths, no sprinklers, nothing.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Consider that impact. Widespread fires after the quake with no
water to fight then, oh my god, businesses unable to operate,
clean water to drink, not to mention bathing. If the
big quake happened tomorrow, she says. FEMA has plans to
mitigate the impact, but to what extent It might not
(29:00):
to be an issue of survival, but immense stress and depression.
Speaker 12 (29:05):
You don't have water.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I'm going to get water tonight. I'm stocked it up.
Speaker 12 (29:09):
You don't have water in the tap.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
You no need to go and stand in line for
hours every day to get the water your family needs.
What's life like when you can't shower? We can do it,
but we aren't going to want to.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, it's going to be pretty tight, especially here at kffive.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Why is this also concerning? Doctor Jones believes, based on
scientific studies, it's a likely earthquake to occur. The last
major quake on the San Andreas was more than one
hundred and sixty five years ago. The question is when
will it hit and will we be ready? Her simple advice,
have water.
Speaker 12 (29:45):
However much water you've stored, store some more.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Okay, there's the rule of thumb. Listen, listen. God gave
you two ears and one mouth. Listen more than you talk,
My grandma.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You say that have water. Have water. What's the rule
on water?
Speaker 12 (30:01):
However much water you've stored, store some more.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Go get more water. You have to buy the expensive stuff.
Doesn't have to be a you know, top of the line,
you know, Fuji or Perrier.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
However much water you've stored, store some more.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Just get the real cheap crap, you know stuff you
buy a gallon or two gallons for a buck. Buy
the cheap water. But you'll be the king of the block.
If you got water, water, water, water, and go out
and get some tonight, go to Costco. I'm not going
to Costco to night get water. I got a stock up.
You know, the other day I saw people buying tons
of water, and I wondered why they might be. They
(30:38):
might have been onto something before, Doctor Lucy Jones, you
have got to have water.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And speaking of water, we.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Had another water main break right here in southern California
on Librea near Formosa, or Librea near Melrose.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Melrose and Librea just a block or so west of their.
Speaker 13 (30:59):
Water main break on Formost Avenue. So kind of sits
in the bigger streets, will break those down, the bigger
streets between Librea over two Fairfax. But look at that,
our Darren fans showing us how much water is here
and what everybody who lives here works here.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's right near Pink's Taco. Pink's Taco, it's a block
and a half from where this happened.
Speaker 13 (31:17):
Is going to be contending within the businesses as well.
My goodness, such a dramatic look at all that water.
Now after that water may break from earlier this morning,
I think it was sometime before four o'clock so at
least you can see it with the roped off section
that times.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, you know, water. These water mains break just on
their own. Can you imagine how many are gonna snap
when the big one hits. We're just gonna have water trucks.
We're gonna have that water truck to deliver water to people.
And that's gonna be a really bad scene. And doctor
Lucy Jones said that might go on for six months,
(31:51):
six months, six months with no water.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
What's going on? All right?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Well, it's a wake up call. Got to get prepared.
Gotta have water. That's gonna be the key to you
surviving when we get the when we have a huge earthquake.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Water, water, water, So jump out there. You heard the warning.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Now it's up to you go get your water. All right,
we're live. We got to thank Pokito Moss and Kevin
for coming in with Pikito Moss. They they're great, one
of the great restaurants of all time. Guy did it right,
and I hope he has another forty.
Speaker 2 (32:22):

get a microphone on Edgar here as well. All right,
So Pikeito Moss forty years that's correct. Wow, congratulations, Thank you?
How did you make it through the pandemic? Did you
get knocked out?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We we didn't get knocked out. We did whatever we
needed to do. We borrowed whatever we needed to borrow.
We we shifted, We pivoted every single day. You know,
wasn't tough every day?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Was it tough every day? It was different every day.
You know, we we we never thought of it as
tough because that would be scary. So we just we
got up every morning. What do we need to do today?
What are the rules this week?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Did the rules change? And the rules changed?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
An awful lot of paperwork alone for the a staff
was just a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
There were so many different things going on.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
But what was the difference is that customers were so
happy that we were still serving food.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I love I love piqito mons. I go to the
one on Olive here. The food's great.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I know the ladies worked there, they and they get
to know you and they know what you you know
you want and and it really is it's always good.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's always a lot of food.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
And the nice thing about when I go there, I'd
say about half the time I go in there, Burbank
cops or Bourbank fires in there as well.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, they're good, good, they're good patrons of um. Yeah,
they love that place, they do. How many stories were
you up through total at the height?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
At the height, I think we had about eleven.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And then and then we you know, we circled did
things half forty years happens, and you know, you lose
at least Sunset I was paying eighty five hundred dollars
a month for eight wow, for eight hundred square feet.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And then the rent went to twenty thousand dollars? What
on Sunset on Sunset and what Sunset Plaza area? Okay,
oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It was a good area, but it wasn't worth twenty thousand. Yeah,
that's really steep in that area. I don't know how
those restaurants stay afloat.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I have no idea. I don't sell drugs, so we said, okay,
we'll have to leave.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
The original one is the one near Universal Studios.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Studio City, that little place right there, the original six
hundred square feet.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I remember when that first opened, you know, I was,
you know, twenty one, and it was different than everybody else.
You know, you were one of the first guys that
cooked in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, it's one thing that we wanted to do. We
want to be fresh to everything. We wanted to be.
We wanted to change.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I looked at everything in Mexican food at that time,
but what was most of the Mexican food was all
on the same plate with sauce and cheese on top.
That's right, and so I sell tonado stuff. I wanted
to make it so different and serve everything fresh, fresh, artillas, fresh,
everything out fresh, because it made a difference every single
day and we ended we try to end the night
with almost nothing in our pins.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
The word of mouth got out about the about Bikito Mas,
the one near Universal Studios because we used to drive,
you know, we used to I went to Birmingham High
School in the valley, and you know, towards the end
of the night, because you guys stayed open late.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We we would drive to Universal. That was unheard of.
We'd never go to any other restaurant. We always go
to some place in the Ncino or Tarzana and we'd
make the trip all the way to Universal just to
go there.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, thank you for that. Yeah, we should be up
untill one am. Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, yeah, And there was there and I remember at
one point, yeah, there was a security guy out there because
everyone got crazy. But then it calmed down and calmed down,
but it was it was a cool place to hang.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You know what. And we've adjusted every year since then.
You know, we're still there, We're still got the patio,
we're still open in the same place, in the same place. Yeah,
what was that with that?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Without telling me, there was something that there was like
a blockbuster or there was there was like a juice place.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What else was in that center? There is there was.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
A good neighbor restaurant. Oh that's right, good neighbor restaurant. Right,
Eddie who was a waitress now was the owner.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh, wow, okay, all right, so you have seven restaurants now, Yes, Piketo,
mas uh and the uh and Edgar worked for you.
Let's put Edgar on the microphone here for a second.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Egg.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Edgar used to work for a Piquito Moss.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Right, that's right. Yeah, and and for how long? Forty
forty years? Wow, I couldn't get out.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Huh. It's like prison. Huh. So but you now you
own some restaurants. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So so Kevin, if a guy works for you long enough,
they can buy one of your restaurants.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, but you have different people that that can that
inspire you to help them open a restaurant. And Edgar,
after twenty years, we weren't growing fast enough, so we
want to get him his own place. So he decided
he wanted to be and we decided he would. He
would be the first perfect franchise e.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's great. And now he has three. Where is your
first door? Do you open up in Woodland Hills?
Speaker 8 (04:46):
You know?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And then you have one in Sherman Oaks and then
Sino and Sherman Oaksman.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And the one in Sino is where Numero Uno used
to be. That's correct, yeah, I like that Tony across.
That's right, Fazzios used to be there. I go, I'm
old school buddy. I go back to Terry York Chevrolet
and the spaghetti and the spaghetti factory.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Back there. Guy born and raised down there, you know,
not in that area.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
My wife was upset when the Numeruno left and then
we took over because she is a huge num She
was a big Numeral, huge fan, huge, so she was
a little upset.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, look, this is an old joke, I hope.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I know you probably already heard it, but they would
have been much more honest with everybody if they called
that place numeroal dose.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You know, I'm telling you a thing dog with it?
But where did you live?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Where did you get inspired by it?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
What's your background?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I was working at Gramma's Chinese Theater as a dormant
in high school. It's actually where I met my wife,
but we didn't connect until eight years later. But I
was asked to give somebody a ride home. Actually a
girl needed a ride home after a midnight show, so
could she? I gave her ride home an Echo Park,
what a dormant and she's she was at our gas
(06:00):
the other night she's still a good friend. She's I
was giving her ride home and at Sunset and Alvarado
there's a car wash still there. At the same time,
there was a little taco stand at two o'clock in
the morning attached to this car wash, and she says, stop,
let me buy you a taco. That put to that time,
I think I'd only had like corporate tacos, right, not
(06:20):
real tacos, not real Mexican food. And my mother, most
wonderful person in the world. She tried to keep us
kids fed, five boys and two girls, right, boiss a
lot so they don't stop eating. So she was we
had a lot of bologney, a lot of meat loaf,
a lot of a lot of spam, a lot of
peanut butter and jelly and oatmeal, and a lot of
(06:41):
meat loaf.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And yeah, six kids in our family too. That's our menu.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
That was the menu. So I didn't have a palette.
I had no idea what flavor was. That's right, right,
So at two o'clock in the morning, she buys me
a cagnita's plunge out of taco, and my mouth exploded.
I couldn't believe flavor existed, and it was like, oh
my god, gosh, this is I was unbelievable. So I
had three of them, and I just I couldn't believe it.
(07:05):
And every night I would go back there Naa. And
then the next decade, while I was working corporate for myself,
every vacation I would go to Mexico because I was
so inspired by the food. I was a sort of
culinary orphan from my my palate, so I adopted Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Good for you?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah all right, biquito Mons you Also, we're gonna give
away this this big prize here, somebody's gonna win forty burritos.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
But they all they have to eat them all in
an hour. No, they just have to have just have
to do it all at once.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So I can have a party, A party, Mons, a party,
A party, Moss forty burritos, Yes, wow, that's pretty party.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Any say, want any burritos? Any breed? All right?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You're also doing a lot of charity work with is
It Home Again, Home Again, Home Again. Lay.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
They rehouse people that have been kicked out of a
house or or we had to move for the reason,
I moved eight times before it was eleven, so I
know what it means to move to a new house.
You come home from school, the furnitures in the front yard.
We're moving today, so you know, so you know what
it's like when you move into new place. One of
the first things you want to do is what am
I going to eat? So we want to do that
for next month, next year, we'll give forty forty meals

Speaker 9 (09:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Conway Show. The Dodgers loss that sucks. You know, Dodgers
no good lost seven to three at Dodgers Stadium. There's
some people listening to the radio still trying to get
out of there. That's possible at six thirty. It's possible,
not likely, but certainly possible. A lot of trap last
night leaving that game. Ah, it's a traffic all right.
(10:03):
Let's find out a little more about the Dodgers. Find
out what's going on with these Dodgers. They lost, But
let's find out there's any new information we didn't know.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
You know, the Dodgers were riding a wave of momentum
entering the National League Championship Series after those two games
against San Diego Games four and five into last night,
three consecutive shutouts by the Dodgers. But that all came
to a screeching halt today in Game two of the NLCS,
as the Mets hit the Dodgers early and often. Ryan
(10:32):
Brazier gets a start and Francisco Lindor takes him out
of Dodger stadium s. He leads off the game by
sending that offering into the visitors bullpenal one nothing lead.
Second inning, landon nach Is in, bases loaded, and Mark
Viento's unloads in with a grandson gave him the Big Apple.
A six nothing leads.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, now you thought it'd be over at six nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Now Dodgers clawed back, got three runs back, and they
could have won this game.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Fifth inning, the Dodgers finally get on the board and
it smacks Munchie, that funky Munchie. The solo shot to
right cut some Eslite to six to one, and they
cut into the lead even more. Six hitting. They load
the basis Tommy Edmonds grounder.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, you gotta be careful with this.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
That funky munchie.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I could go I could go south on you
pretty quickly.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
That funky munchie, That funky Munchie.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Minute.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Ah, let's give this a shot. Maybe, Look, this might
be too close, this might be this. Oh they dumped it.
They had to dump it. Yeah, well I understand dumping
that though, because it does you know, if you take
enough syllables out of that, it does.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It is the F word and it smacks munchie. Yeah, sorry,
I can't play it.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Look, if it was cable, we could do it. But
it's done and.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
It smacks munchie, that funky munchie.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
You can turn that into the effort pretty quick.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Solo shot right.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Definitely got a nice rombrato on that though.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You know, it was pretty good.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah, that funky munchie, that funky monzie. That's pretty cold,
that funky munchie. The solo shots all right, cuts some
Messlita six to one, and they cut into the lead
even more. Six hitting. They load the basis Tommy Edmonds
right there.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
There you go. All right, Dodgers lost.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
All right, tenth caller Piquito Moss giveaway. If you're the
tenth caller, you get the forty big ass burritos.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't know if that's what they call it, but
I think that's what.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You get, forty big burritos for a big party. So
one eight hundred five to two oh one five three
four one eight hundred five two oh one five three
four and you're gonna get the the Poquito Moss tenth caller,
Piquito Moss celebrates forty years, and you're gonna get a
(12:52):
forty burrito party platter man, you have a whole group
of people over enjoy that one.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
All right, big dog, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So the Sporting News is the Dodgers loss, and the
Clippers have their very first game tonight. It's a preseason game,
but still you can go to the stadium and check out.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Let's get into this here.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
A jewelry heighst brazen midday jewelry heist.
Speaker 10 (13:23):
All thieves still more than one hundred thousand dollars worth
of jewelry right in front of the store owner.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
Happened a month ago in Orange County, and the duo
still hasn't been arrested.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Kay Cow News reporter lose Deria Carrierro spoke.
Speaker 12 (13:35):
To the store owner.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
This STEP's certainly not like one that you would normally imagine.
So it wasn't a smash and grab. Rocks weren't thrown
through the windows or even the glass cases that are
enclosing all of the jewelry.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
These thieves actually just.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
Walked in casually and rocked right back out through this door.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
They don't care, They have no menity.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
This is the moment. Store owner Sammy Solomon says two
thieves walked out with eighty four rings while he was
working behind the counter.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
You know, I don't know what's say. It's a lot
over one hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He says.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
It happened on September seventeenth, just after three thirty pm
when these two came into the store.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
So they asked me about jewelry. I don't have that
display because of the accidents that happened before.
Speaker 10 (14:23):
Adding his place has been broken into several times before.
Why adding his place has been broken into several times before?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Man, You know, they always say the crime's going down,
but you asked the store owner of crime's going down,
and they said, no, it's all going way up astronomically.
Every night we can do a story on a store
or I don't know, grocery store, a seven to eleven,
jewelry store, drug store. They're always getting hit, especially in
(14:54):
the valley.
Speaker 10 (14:55):
So Solomon eventually brings out four or five boxes of merchandise,
but before he could show all of it, he gets
a call that he answers. That's when it all unfolded.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
She pulled one of the boxes, put it on the sea,
and the guy is talking to me to block my
vision so I don't see him.
Speaker 10 (15:13):
Eventually, the woman switches places with the man and starts
talking to Solomon while he's on the phone.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
While she's talking to me blocking my vision, he was
taking the box from the sea, put it into his underwear,
covered it with his T shirt, very easily walking out
as if there's nothing happening.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
It wasn't until Solomon was closing that he realized something
was off.
Speaker 12 (15:36):
I said, I am missing a box.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh man, his heart probably dropped, huh, I said, I
am missing a box, missing a box.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I stayed till twelve o'clock looking for that box everywhere
in the store.
Speaker 12 (15:49):
No.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
Solomon reviewed footage and couldn't believe what he saw, adding
never in sixty years of being in the business has
he seen something like this.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I feel like this is an invasion of properties that
people work hard for.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Guy works his ass off, probably makes less than one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, and now he's
got to replace that with something.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
He called the Orange Police Department and says he filed
a report. Now Solomon wants their faces out in hopes
that someone recognizes this man and woman who took away
five years of hard work in seconds.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
They're going to get caught one way or another.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
If not this time, next time.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
And this is just one of several cameras propped up
at this business, but they certainly did not deter these
thieves from stealing, of course, over one hundred thousand dollars
worth of jewelry. At this time, Orange beating telling us
they're looking into this case.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, you can see the if you go to YouTube,
you can see the pictures there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
If you have been waiting for the right moment to
chip in.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Heaven't by, you can see it there. It's these people
own stores. Man, They got to deal with this every
single day. Every single day. Somebody coming in doesn't want
to get a job, doesn't want to work, doesn't want
to go about it the you know, the hard way,
just wants to take that that money you've.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Earned and split and no mercy whatsoever. Unreal. All right,
we're live. We have our tenth caller, Bellio. Who who
won the big burrito contest?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Who's that belly is over there putting some stuff away.
But yes, we got our winner. Thanks for calling. All right,
I'm not calling.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'm not a caller richer. Oh okay, I thought you
thought you were stilling three bars.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
No, no, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from kf I am six forty proje.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Have you seen the damage in Florida? I know you
spent some time in there in Florida. I can't believe
how many homes have been damaged damaged by these two hurricanes.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Yeah, yeah, on the water damage alone.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
There this one guy who had a beautiful hotel, like
a mom and pop. I think it was like a
twenty five room little motel right on the ocean, and
it was beautiful at a tiki bar and a pool
and really well decorated. They just showed it before and
after photos. Before it looked great. Afterwards there was four
and a half feet of sand on the entire property.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I don't know how you get rid of all that?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, right, where's it go?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I don't know. Bulldozer back to the beach, I guess.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
But they say there might be tens of thousands of
homes that have either been destroyed or significant water damage.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I believe that, know, in that area.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
And how many are just dilapidated homes already in that area?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does seem like that. It does
seem like those you know, you would think if you
lived in Florida, and maybe it's a money issue, probably is,
but you'd build a home that could with stay this.
But it looks like every single one of these homes
that were destroyed, it looks like it was built you know,
with like like I built them.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Well, my dad passed away in No. Six.
Speaker 11 (19:10):
He had two houses beside each other, was one lot
with an old old house, and he, uh, he cut
the property in half and built the house that he
lived in next to it. So when I went out there,
he had the old house and the new house, and
that old house was definitely that. I mean, we weren't
even six blocks to a mile from the beach, so
you know, you get all that weathering too.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, and it does wear and tear on these homes. Absolutely,
And my I don't I've never met your dad, but
another the the the amount of stuff I have heard
about him, I have a feeling that may not maybe
not everything in that new house was permitted.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, is that possible?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Do you mean like they, like you didn't go through
all the proper channels when he built it himself, or did.
Speaker 11 (19:53):
He You know, that's a little tough to say, but
it wouldn't surprise me one way or the other, Like
like can considering he it was the house he was
living in.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Maybe so.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
But he was pretty good about about having that OCD
about getting things right, that's right, Okay, he took a
little pride in his construction. But at the same time, yeah,
I'm sure there was a corner cut here there.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
My my grandfather had a piece of property in Canada
and he divided up into three and built three homes,
and then when he went to sell them, the city
is like, you don't have permits for any of this.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You don't have any permits for your own home.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
He was fascinated by the fact that when he came
out here and visited that he would see all the
construction out here and with all the issues that that
California has with termites. Why houses aren't made with steel studs.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh yeah, you're right, yeah, yeah yeah. But I'm I'm
I'm surprised. You know, we had we had what I
thought were termites, and so I left it up to
uh my wife Jen. I said, hey, call somebody you
know and get a couple of estimates on termites. And
so one of the plays she calls was is it
(20:57):
West Coast termite? They're an advertiser, and so she called
him and they didn't have any idea that you know.
I worked here at KFI and the guy came over.
He did a thorough examination, probably there an hour and
a half, and he captured some of the bugs that
we saw, and he said, these are flying ants, they're
not termites. You don't have any problem with termites. Just
(21:19):
get a guy over here to you know, to get
rid of right on. But I mean, it was so great,
was such a great relief. You know that that we're there.
They're on this station. They're a big advertiser. The guy
comes over and he's you know, and and like he
said on on the commercial, they're just honest people.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It's it's it's great to see that in action.
Speaker 11 (21:40):
There is not a better feeling at working here knowing
when we when I have to use an advertiser that
that we use for a service, to see how well
they do, and like you say, I go out of
my way to not let them know where I where
I work. And like but like Moon Valley, I had
that Alvacado that I bought as much. I went over
(22:00):
there this weekend and picked out a new tree because
this heat killed the one that we got. And they
were telling me that it's been a bad season because
of the heat they've lost they've ended up having to
replace a lot of their trees. But that's part for
the course and it's part of the service that you get.
So I was like incredibly impressed because I called them
up and they said, oh, yeah, we already had your
scheduled to come out to fascinate, come out and take
a look at your tree and probably replace it.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
And so they they have they done it.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
Yet we went on, we went yesterday and picked out
the new one, and they set us a date in
the beginning of next month to replace it.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And they come out and replace it for free.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Absolutely, that's a great gua pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
I've had not to sound like a commercial, but it's
when I'm blown away by something like that, I'm definitely
vocal about it.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I remember when I discovered Moon Nursery, the one in
North Hollywood or Sun Valley wherever it is off of
Sherman Way, and I went in there and I saw
these big, huge, beautiful trees and they were a little pricey.
So I'm like, yeah, you know, I don't no, no,
I mean, do you guys deliver? And he goes, deliver,
You don't deliver, huh. He goes, no, no, we deliver and
(23:07):
we plant them for you and we guarantee him. I'm like, okay,
all right, so I get the price.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Now, I just started. They just bought equipment to do
to take out trees. You know, the stump grinder. Yeah,
those ones that those giant ones that they have. Now,
they just invested in those and said that's been a
pretty good business for them too.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
So they do that as well.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, and then they have a thing that I've used
and in the past, and our trees in four years
have gone from our fight has went from six footers
to twenty three footers twenty five footers. But it's called
that moon juice.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Oh yes, that has been great for a lot of
our trees.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I don't know what's in it, but if you want
your trees to grow, you know, overnight moon juice.
Speaker 11 (23:47):
My daughter bought me a little line tree, just a small,
little teeny one about a foot and a half tall,
a couple of years ago, and I planned it hadn't
really done much of anything.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
It was okay, but it was just sitting there.
Speaker 11 (23:55):
We started putting the moon Juice in like two months ago,
three months ago, and it's doubled inside.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, wow, that's great. That's a good company that Yeah.
The moon is the Moon Valley in the vallet. Yeah,
Moon Valley Nursery. They're good at what they do, man,
They're terrific. All right, weve got to take a break here.
We're live.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Dodgers lose. It's one to one.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
They're gonna go to New York and play Wednesday Thursday
and Friday in New York City and then hopefully come
back here at Dodger Stadium. Unless they can win all
three in New York that'd be cool as well. And
then the Clippers. Maybe you're going to the game right now.
It's a Clipper preseason game at the new Arena, the
into An Arena.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You can see what the new place looks like. It's
going to be special.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Congratulations to Alberto Martinez from West Hills.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
He won the forty burritos.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, guy's gonna have a party in West Hills. Knock
it out and West Hills forty burritos from Paquito moss Man.
What a day that's gonna be. What a day all have?
We got a the great shakeout is coming up. Gotta
be earthquake ready. I think we're next. I think we're next.
You know, we've got Milton and Helen and all the
(25:12):
storms back east. I hope and pray we don't have
the big one.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But the one thing.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That all the earthquake experts will agree on.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Is when the big one hits.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Nobody listening right now, in southern California, We'll have to
ask somebody, a friend or a family member, Hey.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Is this the big one?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Nobody will say that. When the big one hits, nobody
will say is this the big one. You'll know it instantly,
and so we got to get ready for it. You
gotta have a bag, you gotta have a plan, especially
if you have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You got to protect those kids.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
Look at this damage. Living in southern California, it may
frequently cross your mind, when will the next big earthquake hit.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
We're afraid of earthquakes because they're sudden. We can't predict them.
You don't see them coming.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
That's right, doctor Lucy Jones. Doctor Lucy Jones, and me I.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Sat down with seismologist doctor Lucy Jones, who is the
first to acknowledge common fears of injury or earthquake related
deaths like those seen in the ninety four Northwich quake.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, it's a little hysterical to get that worried about
an earthquake because most of people listening right now have
no idea and cannot name one person who's ever been
injured in an earthquake, let alone have been killed in
an earthquake. Chance are You probably don't know anybody who's
ever been killed or injured in a quake.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
But should that still be top of mind thirty years later?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, maybe not maybe maybe not,
maybe maybe not.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
She says, the earthquake's inevitable, the disaster is not.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
She does, however, point to Okay, I like that, right.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
She continue to soothe people's you know, nerves and fears.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
The earthquakes inevitable. Okay, the disaster is not.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
That's a good rule of thumb.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
She does, however, point to one specific risk. Oh, she says,
could impact all of the La Metro area a big
quake along the San Andrea's fault.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Oh, water's potentially our worst problem. And every one of
the aqueducts that bring water into the southern California area
cross the San Andreas Fault.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Oh no, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Who plan that?
Speaker 12 (27:38):
And every one of the aqueducts?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All right, how we get one hundred percent of.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Our water that bring water into the Southern California area
across the San Andreas Fault and will be broken when
that earthquake happens.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We're not going to have any water stock up on
water stock up.
Speaker 12 (27:54):
It appears that there is a huge water main that
has broken here.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Similar like this occurred in ninety four. Comprehensive solutions to
fully strengthen the piping network crossing the San Andreas would help,
but for now, she warns, we're looking at a crippling
repair timeline that would likely become life altering for millions
of people.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, we don't have any We won't have any water.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
We won't have any external water for a minimum of
six months. Why we won't have any external water for
a minimum of six months?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
No more water, no more showers, no baths, no sprinklers, nothing.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Consider that impact. Widespread fires after the quake with no
water to fight then, oh my god, businesses unable to operate,
clean water to drink, not to mention bathing. If the
big quake happened tomorrow, she says. FEMA has plans to
mitigate the impact, but to what extent It might not
(29:00):
to be an issue of survival, but immense stress and depression.
Speaker 12 (29:05):
You don't have water.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I'm going to get water tonight. I'm stocked it up.
Speaker 12 (29:09):
You don't have water in the tap.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
You no need to go and stand in line for
hours every day to get the water your family needs.
What's life like when you can't shower? We can do it,
but we aren't going to want to.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, it's going to be pretty tight, especially here at kffive.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Why is this also concerning? Doctor Jones believes, based on
scientific studies, it's a likely earthquake to occur. The last
major quake on the San Andreas was more than one
hundred and sixty five years ago. The question is when
will it hit and will we be ready? Her simple advice,
have water.
Speaker 12 (29:45):
However much water you've stored, store some more.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Okay, there's the rule of thumb. Listen, listen. God gave
you two ears and one mouth. Listen more than you talk,
My grandma.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You say that have water. Have water. What's the rule
on water?
Speaker 12 (30:01):
However much water you've stored, store some more.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Go get more water. You have to buy the expensive stuff.
Doesn't have to be a you know, top of the line,
you know, Fuji or Perrier.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
However much water you've stored, store some more.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Just get the real cheap crap, you know stuff you
buy a gallon or two gallons for a buck. Buy
the cheap water. But you'll be the king of the block.
If you got water, water, water, water, and go out
and get some tonight, go to Costco. I'm not going
to Costco to night get water. I got a stock up.
You know, the other day I saw people buying tons
of water, and I wondered why they might be. They
(30:38):
might have been onto something before, Doctor Lucy Jones, you
have got to have water.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And speaking of water, we.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Had another water main break right here in southern California
on Librea near Formosa, or Librea near Melrose.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Melrose and Librea just a block or so west of their.
Speaker 13 (30:59):
Water main break on Formost Avenue. So kind of sits
in the bigger streets, will break those down, the bigger
streets between Librea over two Fairfax. But look at that,
our Darren fans showing us how much water is here
and what everybody who lives here works here.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's right near Pink's Taco. Pink's Taco, it's a block
and a half from where this happened.
Speaker 13 (31:17):
Is going to be contending within the businesses as well.
My goodness, such a dramatic look at all that water.
Now after that water may break from earlier this morning,
I think it was sometime before four o'clock so at
least you can see it with the roped off section
that times.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, you know, water. These water mains break just on
their own. Can you imagine how many are gonna snap
when the big one hits. We're just gonna have water trucks.
We're gonna have that water truck to deliver water to people.
And that's gonna be a really bad scene. And doctor
Lucy Jones said that might go on for six months,
(31:51):
six months, six months with no water.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
What's going on? All right?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Well, it's a wake up call. Got to get prepared.
Gotta have water. That's gonna be the key to you
surviving when we get the when we have a huge earthquake.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Water, water, water, So jump out there. You heard the warning.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Now it's up to you go get your water. All right,
we're live. We got to thank Pokito Moss and Kevin
for coming in with Pikito Moss. They they're great, one
of the great restaurants of all time. Guy did it right,
and I hope he has another forty.
