Mets are going to come back angry tonight. They're ready

Speaker 4 (00:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I would like to see the Dodgers sweep in New
York and then start the World Series. Yeah, well they
start in LA. I think they will. I get the
best record I think they started.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I think so?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Or is that based on that stupid All Star game?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You know? Well yeah, crazy so Big Coke Bus huh yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I've been trying to figure out a way to make
this like snowboarding snow to cocaine snow, but nothing seems
appropriate when I try to script it. So this is
a really wild story. Ryan Wedding was a Canadian Olympic snowboarder.
He was in the two thousand and two Salt Lake
City Games, and the federal prosecutors here in La say
(01:10):
he went from snowboarding to trafficking cocaine and over the
last thirteen years has been making billions of dollars off
of running and I mean really being held.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
One of his names was l hefe.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It was public enemy dictator that he has been, according
to the FBI in LA and federal prosecutors in the DEA,
running this complex cocaine trafficking organization that they've been doing
about sixty tons a year.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Wow from you know, Alex, the guy didn't quit in time. Look,
if you have a billion dollars because you're coke dealing,
get out, get out of.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
There, right But you can't going from He had the kitchens,
the drug kitchens in Colombia, bringing it up through Mexico.
Then they would use LA as a hub for all
of it, with big rigs coming in from Mexico and
then another network of big rigs going up to Canada
and to the east coast of the US. But he's
on the run right now. They've taken down a bunch
(02:08):
of his underlings in this organization. But today US Jorney
Martinez Strada here in La s.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
This organization was responsible for moving literally tons of cocaine
into the United States and into.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Canada and tim The allegation is this former Olympian that
I mean, they were making in the just a couple
of months this year, from April through September, they made
about a quarter of a billion dollars and they'd been
doing this for thirteen years. Wow, So I mean it's
a lot of money. Cryptocurrency is how they were moving
it around. So they did a bunch of arrest warrants
and they executed yesterday. There was a huge mansion in
(02:42):
Miami that was rated gigantic mansion. DJ Khaled's former mansion
that he sold not long ago to one of these guys,
and I mean it shows you how much money.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I mean, it is just huge property.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And the arrests were California, Michigan, Florida, Canada, Mexico.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Be Wetting.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They believe he's in Mexico being protected by the Sinaloa
cartel right now, and he's a fugitive. The FBI is
fifty thousand dollars reward up for him. But there is
more to this than just the drug running than there
are the murders.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Now, in addition, this group was ruthless and violent. They
would use contract killers to assassinate anyone who who they
saw as an obstacle to their operations.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
So they allied to anybody who the group thought was
blocking their shipments, the coming out of LA or stealing
their cocaine, they would get murdered execution style in front
of that person's family.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Like a point.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
There is one case in Ontario, Canada, where they thought
somebody stole a load of their coke, but they found
the wrong family. They ended up killing a mom and
a dad in front of their daughter. Oh my god,
and it shot the daughter thirteen times. But it was
mistaken identity and the family was totally innocent. We also today,
somebody I know you love LAPD Deputy Chief Allen Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Guy's all over the place.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, he is everywhere, and he spoke as well, sat
about LA the byproducts.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
That is an unfortunate aspect of these duck draft new organizations.
In the Los Angeles Police Department remains committed as well
to preventing that violence from recurring. Not only in the
Los Angeles region, but linked to this organization throughout North America.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
So that's a long list of charges that everybody in
the group that they're facing right now. The leaders are
like wetting. They some of these names though that they
would go by. Some of them were you know, a
little bit dirty, but others being like El Hafe and
you know, they were the leaders. But they're now looking
for this guy the'se probably in Mexico, probably being protected
(04:37):
by the Sinaloa cartel, but he was allegedly doing a
lot of bad stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So the kingpin, the the brains behind the whole thing
was the snowboarder.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, yeah, Olympic snowboarder, and he had gotten in trouble
years ago and gone to prison in a case out
of San Diego for dealing cocaine, for moving it around,
and then went to prison, got out, and then created
this empire according to the prosecutors, where he got.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Out and it was like game on and they had
big rigs.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
They had the kitchens or release the connections, the kitchens
in Columbia, and they were moving it all over the place.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So they're not going after journalists and radio guys that
just talk about it on the air, right.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
You mean the snowboarder. I hope not. If they do,
it's Tim Conway. John, you can find him in he
was off.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The news that's been banging on you guys for years. Valenciaria.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, I go there because you know generally maybe maybe
the other side of the freeway.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
So go to Valentia.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's good, that's right, Oh buddy, that's wild, wild story. Man.
So how many guys have they arrested? Them looking for
two guys, right.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, So there's there's a number that they're still looking for.
They've arrested around a dozen of them. They executed a
Levin arrest warrants yesterday and one search warrant that one
going into the mansion in Miami.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
So it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
When you look at the chart that the FBI put
out today and it's you know, captured, captured, captured, captured.
But then really Wedding is the one that they want
to get. He's the big dog, he's the tough one
to get fifty thousand dollars reward up right now, and
they want to find him.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Does that affect the availability? I mean, when you're running
something that large, it's got to affect the availability of
buying it off the street.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Absolutely, and some of the I mean they had, first
of all, the news conference today, they had piles of cocaine.
It looked like one of those news conferences like Mexico
would do, where at the FBI headquarters here in LA
they had tables with just piles of cocaine on it
and guns, but mainly cocaine. But there were a lot
of Canadian authorities from different police departments in Canada who
(06:51):
were also with the announcement today, and they said, yeah,
that in Canada because this stuff was going to Canada.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
That one.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
You can make a lot more money off of cocaine
in Canada than in the US. That's why they were
trafficking it there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You can make more in Canada.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, yeah, uh, take note there you go. I understand
there is a business opportunity up there right now because
there is a lack of supply.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Where they sell. When you have tons of coke like that,
where do you keep it all secure?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
They had warehouses in LA where the cops keep it secure.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Oh uh, you know, that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
They've got They've got vaults that they keep all that
stuff and then they burn it eventually.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So tempting to say and look around and pull money out.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, I believe there is. Actually you've got a coworker.
Her husband works for one of our great southern California
police departments. I believe there is a company or organization
in like Fresno that will burn all of it.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, yeah, Bunnie, I appreciate coming on. Go Dodgers, you know, but.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You're you know, but tonight we'll say, go Dodger.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Your adopted team has got to be that's right, Okay,
thanks man.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
You got Alex.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Everybody Alex stoned? Get it? Oh? Coke whatever?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I don't know is that considered stoning. I don't know.
I'm stoned. I don't know if that's on coke or
just weed. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
The young kid. For somebody to chime in that would know, Yeah, Bella,
what is that? Can you get? It's just weed? It's
just weed. Yeah, yeah, that term. Yeah, it's just for stoned,
just for weed smokers. Yes, Cristice, how old are you
you ever smoke weed?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
No comment?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, a hat with a with a weed leaf on it,
and there's a bong stain on her shoulder. But you
know what, it's not the stigma that it was when
we were growing up. Like when we're growing up and
you got caught smoking weed, they kick you out of school,
(08:53):
you would have to move, your parents would have to move,
you'd have to move into a new community because you
had that stink on you. Now you get caught with
weed and it's no big deal, no big deal at all.
What a life you kids got going. And by the way,
you know the gay people that came before you know,
(09:14):
the current society of gay people, if that's the exact
term for them. But they did a lot of legwork
to bring homosexuality to a norm where everyone accepts it,
and they went through a lot of hell to get
it to where it is today. And on a lesser note,
I think weed smokers went through a lot to try
(09:35):
to decriminalize it for you kids. And I have not
heard any thank yous from your generation. None from my generation,
who you know, risked our lives to try to get coke,
I mean, weed to be legal. We don't hear any
thank you from your generation, not yet. Maybe we will
(09:56):
in the future, but not yet you will, But I
do hear a lot of thanks from the gay community
to the gay guys that and gals who fought for
those rights back in the forties, fifty sixties, seventies, eighties.
But I don't hear anything from you young pot smokers
out there, and I'm chalking it up is to just
maybe you forgot, because when you smoke weed, you forget. Hi,
(10:21):
We're live on kfive.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Hey, if I am.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Sixty, it is the Conway Show. The Dodgers are going
to start momentarily well then forty minutes or so, and
we will have that for you. We will give you
the scores throughout the day. And if the Dodgers win
this game, they'll be up three to one against the Mets.
What does that mean, great question. That means they'll be
(10:51):
three games left and the Mets will have to win
all three of them, all three of them, and that's
pretty hard to do. So sponsors the Macy's commercials. Who's
(11:12):
doing traffic to this? Michael Morris? Is that Michael Morrison? Morris?
Michael Morris?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
You know, oh low, Tim, oh, you must have heard
me pre read a Macy's gay right buddy.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Look I love Macy's. I'm a big fan of Macy's.
You know how they're parade. I don't know how old
you are, Mark, are you in your are you north
of forty? Very much?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
So?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Okay, all right, you're right, may remember this, but you
know Phillip sixty six is in the news. You know
they're going to shut down a plant here in Los Angeles,
and thank god, because you know, more plants to shut down,
the cheaper gas becomes, I think, but you remember this,
Remember the old Phillip sixty six commercial across.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
The country town in the sticks.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Who knows his engine uses phil at sixty six?
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Come buy a Philip station four gas that's crackting good
and we'll service your car.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
From the tailors through the wood. Oh what a commercial. Wow, Yeah,
that does take me back a little bit there.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Well, I remember that in Richfield and Will sure that's
another old gas brand. Richfield used to sponsor the Lakers,
I think in the late sixties.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I think you're right here. Do you remember do you
remember save on drug Store they used to have. They
used to have radio bargains, went save on drug store,
Save on drugstore, Boom boom, save on and they would
have radio bargains where it was only available if you
went in and said, hey, I heard this on the
radio and they give you that discount. That was I
(12:43):
heard that.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Old jingle on YouTube not all that long ago, and
one of the old radio air checks from.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That's right, man, that is great. All right, thank you,
Michael Morris. There he goes. Thing going with that guy?
All right? Philip sixty six announced his plans to close
a refinery here in Los Angeles. What's going on?
Speaker 10 (13:01):
We've been looking at this Phillip sixty six refinery. This
is down in Wilmington. Now, Phillip sixty six says the
uncertain how the future will look in the Los Angeles
area for their refinery. Because of that, they say they
are planning to close up shop and cease operations at
the refinery. The two hundred and sixty acre refinery.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Whew, two hundred and sixty acres in Wilmington going away
by the end.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
Of twenty twenty five. Now, there's been a lot of discussion.
You'll remember Governor knwsoon just signed that new bill into law.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
But what do you do with the property? What do
you do with the property? You can't put homes on
it right away, doesn't have to be radically cleaned up
in order to build homes and schools and parks.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Which would mandate their refineries hold a certain amount of
extra product in their refineries in case of things going offline.
A lot of people have tried to point to that
as the reason for this. Experts I spoke with and
Phillip sixty six themselves saying that really has nothing to
do with it. They are the small player in the
market here, only operating about eight percent of the market.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, eight percent of the market is still huge, and
you know prices are going to go up. Remember when
I went in a refinery, there'd be a fire, it
would go offline, and price it would go up fifty
or sixty cents overnight. Well, how about one of the
refineries going out of business.
Speaker 10 (14:12):
Compared to ninety percent of the other big four oil companies.
The Governor's office also notes that this is a one
hundred year old facility. But there is one big question
on everyone's mind. Does Phillip sixty six pulling out of
the refinery business in California have any impact or will
it have any impact to gas prices in the state once.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They leave yes. The answer is one, yes.
Speaker 11 (14:34):
It should have any impact. They're planning this for a
year in advance, and the new law we just passed
said that the refineries doing business in the state have
to plan for having enough supply and resupply, so this
should not have any impact on the price consumers pay
at the pump.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's not true. I don't know how, I don't know where,
I don't know what this guy's background is, but my
background is in refineries. I went to school for refineries,
wor a refinery for a while. I know refineries, and
this is going to have a huge impact. Eight percent
going offline is going to have a major impact on
the price we pay.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Yeah, Jamie and I talked about how this is a
year's long, a year long plan rather, so everybody should
be on board and ready to go for that transition
once Phillip sixty six stops refining fuel in the in
the in the Southern California, but also pointing out that
Phillips will still bring fuel in to Southern California just
because they're not refining it here.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
They will still be a player in the market. Right,
but the price get it go up.
Speaker 10 (15:30):
The California Energy Commission released the statement saying, quote, the
company has committed to minimizing impacts on Californians while they
continue to meet fuel demands, maintain reliable supplies, and ensure
they take necessary steps to fulfill both commercial and customer needs.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
There you go, Phillip sixty six. Man, that's clear.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
Across the country town or in the sticks.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
The guy who knows his engine uses.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Fail at sixty six, Come buy a Philip station for guests.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
That's cracking, good head.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
We'll service your car from let's tail, let's do the
Oh what a company. Phillip sixty six.
Speaker 10 (16:02):
They're planned to replace the production loss from the refinery closure.
It is an example of the type of creative solutions
that are needed as we transition away from fossil fuels.
That transition away from fossil fuels is something that Jamie
cort Andy from Consumer Watchdog also talked about. When Phillips
is looking ahead, they are looking at how California is
transitioning to the EV market, and they say, he believes
that doing business in here in California is just expensive.
(16:25):
It's an older refinery. They don't have a big share
of the market here.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, I'm surprised that any of the refinery is allowed
to be to still refine oil and convert oil into gasoline,
because there's a lot of places in the desert you
can do it, but they're doing it right here. And
one of the bigger refineries I think is the Chevron refinery,
which is near lax and or Hermosa Beacherry. What is
that Elsa Gundo, Elsa Gundo, And that's got to be
(16:51):
three four five hundred acres there. But once you take
the refineries away again, what do you do with the property.
I don't know how how long you would take to
clean up after a refinery's been you know, converting oil
to gas for one hundred years.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
And things that they can bring importing those fuel fuel
into southern California are cheaper than they can to make
it here and it's more sustainable for them.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, I don't buy that. I don't know. I think
we've been sold lies before, lies, lies, lies. I think
prices are going up. I think prices are going up,
and Philip sixty six might be the first domino to fall.
The other ones might go here in La as well, across.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
The country and town are in the sticks. The guy
who knows his engine uses.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Fill up sixty six.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
Come buy a Philip station for gas that's crackting good,
and we'll service your car from the tailor's.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
To the wood.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh what a company, Philip sixty six going away. I
hope those guys can find jobs. Probably they probably employ
hundreds of people at that refinery. And it's hard to
leave a refinery and go do something else. You got
to go to another refinery. But I don't know what's
going on. I don't know. I think we're gonna we're
looking at i'd say twelve dollars a gallon by about
(18:06):
twenty twenty six. Enjoy it re live on KFI.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty KMI AM, and it is it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Morning Conway Show. Well, we've got some more crime to report,
this time in Santa Clarita. So if you live up
in Santa Clarita, moved up there for good schools, good community, safe.
I don't worry about kids riding their bikes on the street.
A lot of families look out for other families kids,
(18:38):
and relatively safe place to live. Until recently, a lot
of crime everywhere everywhere this time of Papa John's got hit.
Papa John's. What is the one where you bake it yourself?
Is that Papa Murphy's. I think it's Papa Murphy's. I
think Papa John's makes it for you. But Papa Murphy.
(19:00):
Are you guy familiar with Papa Murphy's Just crows? You
know Papa Murphy's. No, yeah, I think it's mostly up
in Washington or Oregon. Bye. You go, and you'll order
the pizza and they give it to you raw. They
put the cheese, the sauce of toppings on it, and
they give it to you raw in a box. You
take it home and cook it yourself, and you saved
(19:20):
like I don't know, three dollars.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
There were places like that where I grew up on
the East Coast that did that. I could never would
give you that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
We'd buy him and I'd take him home, and I
couldn't figure out how to cook him because the oven
couldn't get hot enough to cook pizza. So just sit
there forever and wait and wait and waite, and it
just got warm. It never got The reason why you
go to a pizza place is those big ass really
hot ovens. The Pizza oven. It's funny the Papa Murphy's.
Speaker 12 (19:43):
Their logo is just that looks a little too much
like the other Papa Papa Pizza place.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well Papa John's got broken into.
Speaker 13 (19:56):
Raisin break In's on repeat for the owners of two
Papa John's and Santa.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
How much money can be in a Papa John's? How
much money to three hundred dollars max?
Speaker 13 (20:06):
This store on Lions targeted early Tuesday morning, just minutes
after the same suspects hit this store on Sako Canyon Road.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I get a call to the alarm company.
Speaker 14 (20:16):
I thought it was just a double fall, and they said, no,
it's actually the other location. And we looked and they
had literally it was a twelve to fifty minute drive.
Fifteen minutes later they're breaking into the other store, so
it was clearly coordinated.
Speaker 13 (20:29):
Brian Kawasaki and his wife have owned the two stores
were just under two years, and in the last six
days they've been targeted three times.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
What the hell? This guy's just trying to make pizza
for people live in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
Brian Kawasaki and his wife have owned the two stores
for just under two years.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Okay, two years they've owned these two stores.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
In the last six days, they've been targeted three times.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Get out of here. What the hell's going on? What's going
on out there?
Speaker 13 (20:54):
The first last Wednesday, at the pizza shop on Sako Canyon,
several thieves smashing the glass door, ran unsacking the store,
and making off with a small safe with the very
little cash inside. Then early Tuesday morning, another break in
at the same store, the suspects shattering in the same store.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
The guy's already got the safe. What are you guys
gonna get pizza? Pepperoni's pineapple dough?
Speaker 7 (21:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
Then early Tuesday morning, another break in at the same.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Store, same store, another break in, the.
Speaker 13 (21:22):
Suspects shattering another glass doors. The other is still boarded
up from the first robbery.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
You know, if you're a thief and a door is
boarded up, it's been robbed. No need to go in
and rob it again. They've been robbed, Move on, go
rob something mounts it hasn't been robbed lately.
Speaker 13 (21:41):
Minutes later, the thieves hit a couple seconds door just
a few miles away, shattering the door, jumping the counter
looking for cash, before quickly fleeing like most small businesses.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
It's not big corporations.
Speaker 14 (21:52):
It's a couple that took their life savings and put
it into a little shop and has some good team
members that are a little spooking now, you know, being honest,
are targeted.
Speaker 13 (22:00):
Kawasaki says. Investigators believe the same suspects are responsible for
the two most recent crimes, but believe another crew was
to blame for the first break in. He says the
thieves cost thousands of dollars in damage compared to the
few hundred they stole.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
All right, well, I think the best thing to do.
Let me see me. Papa John's are out there, Papa John's,
Santa Clarita. Uh, I think the best thing to do. Okay,
there's only two out there. The best thing to do,
I think is go go to a Papa John's tonight.
You know, tell the guy, hey, sorry, we'll support you.
(22:35):
Though he got a Papa John's up near Copper Hill,
and they got a Papa John's or Numero Uno. M oh,
I don't know, but I don't know. I think Numero
UNO's fine. I guess what the hell.
Speaker 12 (22:57):
I'd never been exposed to Numeruno before. I came out
here and and it went on a date really early
on like eighty eighty nine. Apparently it was a it
was famous, I guess at the time on the Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
And I went to that Numero Uno and I was like.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
Uh, these are this is famous.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Why I grew up on Numerono so heavy. There was
a there was a Numero Uno in in Sino on
haven herlf A, Havenhurst and Ventura. We're Fork reporter. Did
a live remote last week or a couple weeks ago,
and that was our Numero Uno. We went there forever
and ever and ever, and I don't know, you know,
you just don't get the thrill. Like when mom says, hey,
(23:36):
we're going to New Maro owner, You're like, okay, all right,
I guess Chicago style.
Speaker 15 (23:42):
Man.
Speaker 12 (23:42):
I think I just realized then. It's like I think
I like the thinner crust. Some people love that.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That thing, that Detroit style, Chicago style. Yeah, that's right.
It's just bread. It's just a yeah, it's a loaf
of bread with sauce on it. Yeah. So there are
two Papa John's out there in in Santa Clarita's. If
you live out there, I don't know, maybe go visit
them and buy a pizza and tell them, hey, sorry,
but we all keep supporting you. There's one on Lions
(24:09):
twenty three to one to twenty Lions, and then there's
one at twenty seven nine twenty seven Seiko Canyon, and
they're both open eleven o'clock. They do dine in and
take out, and I think you'll enjoy that. But I
think it's up to the community to go out and
visit places that have been robbed and say, hey, we
live here, thank you for opening. I know you're going to,
(24:30):
you know, put the business back together and we're going
to keep shopping here, and I hope you get back
on your feet.
Speaker 12 (24:35):
There was a there was a restaurant in Claremont that
got broken into a few weeks ago, and they posted
it online and yeah, exactly like you said. The next day,
in the next couple of days, everybody in the city
went there.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Oh that's great. Yeah, what's the name of the restaurant?
Do you remember now? I was a couple of weeks ago.
That's a great buddy, that's a great community.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You know the first what do they call that where
everybody comes in with money you know these si a
cash mob, right, yeah, right, her cash mad flash mob, right,
but they used to that started in Sugar and Falls.
There was Shuts hardware store has been there for eighty
five years, and they're about to go out of business,
(25:13):
y know, because of Home Depot and Lowe's that you know,
they couldn't compete. And they put a sign in the
window saying, hey, I know we've been in business for
eighty five years, but we're closing one month from today,
and so we're selling everything at a discount. And the
next day there was a line to get in and
they spent I think it was forty two thousand dollars
before before lunch at that at that hardware store, and
(25:35):
people just kept coming in and coming in and survived.
It survived. So I think that now it's time to
visit Papa John's in Santa Clarita and say, hey, we
know you got busted into we're going to support you.

pizza place in our community, and we got your back.

Whittier got a lot of people living Whittier listening to Kfie.
That's a cool deal. And Whittier is now in the
news over Halloween. Find out what's going on in Whittier
(27:35):
for Halloween.
Speaker 15 (27:36):
It's become a bit of a Halloween annual event. Vehicles
file in long lines down Lisco Street and surrounding streets
and Whittier to get a glimpse of the neighborhood that
decks out their houses in spooky decor. Passengers sitting in
their cars as scarers interact with them, jumping in vehicles
to get screams out of visitors. But this year it'll
look a lot different. The city is limiting to just
(27:57):
decorations on their property unless they get a permit to
do more.
Speaker 16 (28:00):
We enjoy the kids and everything, but they were just
leaving all their trash behind parking anywhere they want.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
There you go. He just takes a few people to ruin.
All the good things, all the great things in life
come to an m because of five or six idiots.
Speaker 16 (28:15):
Oh they're trash behind parking anywhere they want. They were
blocking our driveways, blocking our sidewalks. People couldn't even walk
up here.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, man, now it's over.
Speaker 15 (28:24):
Tom has been living here for seventeen years and he
says typically around this time the land would be full
of Halloween decorations, but as you can see, he has
significantly cut back on the spooky decor and he says
many of his neighbors have as well.
Speaker 16 (28:38):
A lot of are you him fighting going on out
in the street.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Who's arguing and fighting in the street? Who's that guy?
And what are you fighting over? You bring your kids
to look at halloween houses, potted houses, and then you're
fighting somebody going on with people?
Speaker 16 (28:55):
A lot of arguing them fighting going on out in
the street.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Who's fighting? It's the fight over? I don't get it.
Speaker 16 (29:02):
Man a lot of arguing and fighting going on out
in the street, you know people.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
And by the way, look when they say a lot
of arguing, a lot of arguing, that means like what
every third car there's an argument going on, fighting going
on out in the street, and a lot of fighting.
What are there like fifty fights a night. I don't know,
a lot of arguing and a lot of fighting. It
was just Halloween decorations.
Speaker 16 (29:25):
People.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 16 (29:27):
It just it wasn't right.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, you know, this guy wanted to swear and he
and he just felt like he couldn't on camera. People,
people are what, I don't know. I just yeah, you know,
you know, I don't know. You know, you know, I
don't know. It just yeah, he wants to blast off
and he can it wasn't right. Way Yeah, then he
comes up with it wasn't right.
Speaker 15 (29:47):
The City of Whittier says, while decorations on private property
is allowed, the interaction between scarers and visitors and the
presence of vendors qualifies the activity as a special event,
which requires a permit. The city sided public safety concern
and the need to bring in off duty officers in
previous years, and a letter sent to Lisco Street residents.
The letter read, in part, on a single night in
(30:07):
October twenty twenty three. The city spent six thousand dollars
on personnel deployed specifically to address the impacts resulting from
the event.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, from the fighting and the arguing.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
COVID's when it really blew up. I think it blew
up on TikTok and it just got wild and people
loved it, and then you know, we love decorating, but
it got crazy.
Speaker 15 (30:26):
Neighbors we spoke to say they love decorating for the holiday,
but they understand the need for city intervention.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
We haven't got as many cars, as much traffic, so still,
you know, for hoping still people want to come see it,
but maybe just coming down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Wow wow Wow. On reel, it's unrail how that happened?
On talk about the airplanes airports close calls, FAA is
opening up an audit into possible accidents.
Speaker 17 (30:54):
The FAA is opening an audit and to runway incursions
at some of the nation's busiest airports. Decision comes after
a series of near miss incidents, including this latest one
at Nashville Airport last month, when an Alaska Airlines plane
had to abruptly abort takeoff after a Southwest jet crossed
in front.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
George Carlin has it right. Those aren't near misses. Those
are near hits. A near miss is when two planes collide. Ah,
they nearly missed.
Speaker 12 (31:21):
You don't get on the plane, in the plane a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Less windy inside. That whole run is fantastic. It's just
it's it's every joke is unbelievable. Cancel pickoff players.
Speaker 17 (31:36):
The pilot of that Alaska jet slamming the brakes at
about one hundred and twenty miles per hour to avoid
a collision.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
This felt like getting hit in a car accident or
a freight train in just days. A guy who's never
been in a car accident or a freight train accident
in a car accident, Yeah, a car, a plane stopped,
or a freight train, and it felt like you hit
a freight train. Somebody hasn't been hit yet by a
freight train.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
In just days.
Speaker 17 (32:00):
Earlier, a Delta plane with more than two hundred passengers
crashed into the back of a smaller regional jet, knocking
its tail off on the taxiway of Hartsfield Jackson Airport
in Atlanta.
Speaker 16 (32:11):
We just hit something on the taxiway.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Could you tell us what it was? Yeah, it was
another plane. Maybe you can't see it. I'll give them
the benef of the doubt in the contrack. Maybe there
should be rearview mirrors, you know, or at least a camera.
I mean, look, I have a camera in my car
when I back up. These guys don't have one, right,
he can't put a camera back there. Let's see what's
going on without this. That's right, that's right. And back
(32:36):
in July police dash camera. You know, the Israelis when
they bought the F sixteen, this is thirty years ago,
they bought twenty or thirty F sixteen's and then they
modified him and they put rearview mirrors on him, and
they did like twenty or thirty modifications on the F sixteen,
and the US company, I think it was lockeed or
(32:57):
I don't know, whoever's McDonald douglas, whoever's Boeing, wherever's old
in those planes, said hey, we want to we want
you to tell us how you modified these planes because
we want to do what that with ours as well.
We see you've had some nice additions to it. And
the Israeli said, no, there's the secrets. We're not doing that.
We're not going to tell you what they are. General Dynamic,
General Dynamics, okay. And then so General Dynamics said to
(33:17):
the Israelis, we want to know what you did and
maybe incorporate that into our planes. And the Israeli said, no,
we're not going to tell you. And then General Dynamics said, oh, okay,
well then we're not going to sell any more to you.
Then the Israelis told me not how to do it,
but they have rear view mirrors in the Israeli jets,
something the United States ever thought of. They got them
in Israel.
Speaker 17 (33:37):
And back in July, police dash camera showing two Regional
jets near Syracuse appearing to come dangerously close to colliding
mid air, and the FAA did cite a shortage of
air traffic controllers as a factor here. We're expecting they're
going to have new recommendations on how to shore up
safety sometime early next year.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
The Wi Wild West out there, when you fly, doors
come off, accidents, wheels come off. It's crazy, but you know,
it does sort of add to the excitement of flying.
Flying used to be fairly dull. You need take off,
you'd fly and you'd land, and it's pretty dull. Now
(34:14):
the door can blow off. Yeah, you gotta look around,
keep on your feet.
Speaker 12 (34:19):
I was just reading a thing about how the airlines,
how basically airports now an airplane the airlines there are
only roughly the what is it, twelve airlines out there now,
not as smaller ones, and it is the fewest amount
of airlines that we have ever had since before World
War one and nineteen fourteen.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
That's wild.
Speaker 12 (34:40):
Yeah, because of the deregulation of the airlines. We used
to the government used to regulate the airways and the airlines,
and they used to that's whether you always used to
be the smaller airlines that existed that you could take
anywhere anymore. After that deregulation, man the airlines now they
that's why the airlines own the airports now, because they
take up all the space.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, and they swallow other smaller airlines up. Yeah, like
Hawaiian Airlines purchased by Alaska. Yeah, go on Frontier. And
now I think, what's the one airline that everyone always
complains about, Spirit, Yeah, Spirit's about to go.
Speaker 12 (35:10):
They say that the value of those things is immeasurable
because whenever any of those small small airlines go into
an airport, whatever route that they're taking, it automatically lowers
the price of a ticket for the other airline, the
major by like twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
That's why the airlines are valuable. Yeah, plus the other
the smaller airlines, they own five, six, seven gates, that's it. Yes,
and those are very valuable.
Speaker 12 (35:34):
And since COVID, you know, they a gate on average
was about seven takeoffs a day. Wow, since COVID, it's
dropped to four. And but yet those airlines are still
sitting on those gates. Yeah, they've been taking up the
time in the space.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah. The most valuable thing at airport is that gate.
That gate man who all right, we're live. We're gonna
keep an eye on the Dodgers for you right here

the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live
