Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
KFI AM sixty. It is the Conway Show. Well, you
may have heard by now. There has been a lot
of people who have left the building here at iHeartMedia,
and it is tough. It is tough. I've known most
of the people. I'm like the newest guy here. You know,
(00:29):
everybody who's on the air here, with the exception I
think of Amy King and maybe Mo Kelly. But Bill
Handle was here for years and years before I got here.
So was Gary, so is Shannon, so is John and Ken.
And I've been here fourteen years, almost fifteen years, no,
fifteen years, and I'm the new new guy around here,
(00:51):
with the exception of Moe Kelly and so I've known
these people my entire life here. When I started here,
my daughter was three years old. She just turned four
the first year I started here, in two thousand and nine.
In June of two thousand and nine, I was a
(01:12):
kalis X for twelve years, KBC for twelve hours they
said get out, and then here for since two thousand
and nine. So fifteen years, yeah, fifteen years and My
daughter was three, just turned four when I started here.
And Krozier's daughter, how old were you? How old was
(01:34):
your daughter when I started in two thousand and nine.
Where was she born? She was one one, she was seven,
six or seven? And I remember she used to Krozer,
who worked his ass off, not that he doesn't now,
but back then he was working night shifts, weekends, Christmas,
(01:55):
New Year's, the whole run. And so when he had
his daughter on Christmas, she would come in, she would
put a sleeping bag behind him, fall asleep and wake
up to Christmas presents. Because Sanna found the newsroom. Yeah,
and Krozier up all night not only doing the news
but wrapping gifts all night. Yeah, that was incredible. Yeah yeah,
(02:18):
but here in the newsroom, like you know, the last
minute gifts. And she woke up at you know, six
o'clock in the morning. Crozer's still working and looked down like, hey, look,
Sanna found the newsroom. And that Sanah found that newsroom
all the time, never missed that newsroom. And you know
guys like you know, like Steve Gregory, I've known my
(02:40):
entire life here. We're friends outside of out work. Chris
Little Aaron ben Mosch. You know all these some of
the newer ones, some of the older employees, and you
know Robin and Don and and and all. You know Robin,
who's the person who hired me. And so it's it's
(03:03):
it's tough. It's before the holidays. I think a lot
of entertainment is going through restructuring, like a lot of
companies are. I saw it. I think it was Lexus
the other day that said nine thousand people were being
let go. Boeing is bringing what thirty some one thousand back,
thirty three thousand people back, But I imagine they're not
(03:26):
all going to stay at that at that wage. And
there's a lot of restructuring in this country. And and
you know for people to say, and again this is
not the case here at KFI, but there are a
lot of people that said, you know, if if you
(03:46):
raise the wages of people, you're going to have to
let some people go. And that's been happening around the country.
Not the case here, but at you know, in the
fast food industry. I imagine it Boeing, it'll be the
same thing. I know it happened at Lexus where these
you know, the employees were making a ton of money
(04:08):
and they had let some some people go. But it's it.
It just sucks. It just sucks. It was I I've known,
you know, Chris Little, the news director. He he lived
and still lives out in Rancho Cuckamonger Inland Empire, and
(04:29):
is the Rancho Cuckamonga. I think just passed. And so whatever,
I went to Marongo. I'd go to Morongo two three
times a year just to visit my money. And when
I would drive by Rancho's Rancho, where the hell does
he live? Getting old? I'll take the two ten through
(04:53):
Rancho Cucka Manga and I'd call him up and I say, hey, Chris,
I'm ten exits from you. I'm going to Marongo. You
want to go? Every time he said yes and jumped
to the car. We went, except one day. Driving out
of the two ten, I'm passing the fifty seven, remember
exactly where I was. And I called Chris Little and
I said, Hey, I'm going to Marongo. You want to go?
(05:17):
And he said, ah, I'd love to, but it's Saturday night.
It's my wife and our anniversary, it's our thirtieth anniversary,
and we're going out to dinner. I can't make it tonight.
And I'm like, oh man, what a great excuse though,
great recent, happy anniversary. I'll catch you next time. He said,
all right, well, good luck out there, and I said okay,
all right, And then five minutes later my phone rang
(05:40):
and I looked down. It's Chris Little and I'm like,
what's going on. You make a bet for you out
there or anything? He says, no, no, he said, stop
by my house. I talked her into me going to Moroco.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well, she wanted him to enjoy his anniversary.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
How great is that? And so he gets in the
car and go, buddy, you've got to tell me how
you did that. How the hell on your thirtieth anniversary
going out to dinner with your wife, big night, two
of you, thirty years together. How the hell did you
get out of that? And he said, Tim, I'm not
nineteen and I haven't been married for three weeks. I
(06:21):
have been married thirty years. She probably wanted me to
do this as much as I wanted to do it,
you know what I mean. She wanted some time away.
But it's it is. It's it's rough around the halls.
We're going to try to get you a quality you
know amount of news, but it's it's tough. It is tough,
(06:44):
and I think a lot of companies go through it,
a lot of people make a lot of very dear friends.
And I know I'm missing somebody or not mentioning somebody,
and I apologize, and then you see him every day
and you think it's going to be like that for
the rest of the time, and it's not. And it's not.
(07:05):
When I left kles X, everybody got let go in
the same day, so we're all in the same boat.
But here it's uh, it's different. We're gonna you're gonna help.
You'll have a lot of voices on the air that
you recognize. You'll have some voices on the air soon
that you won't recognize. But again, we are going to
(07:26):
try to get you as much information as we can.
There's articles out there about what happened here and you
could feel please feel free to go read those and
when we come back, we will try to normalize this
program with Alex Stone, one of our dear friends from
ABC dues.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
All right, I see the phone is is lit here
and somebody's calling from KBC TV. He must be at
work at Stone, how you bubb Well?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Apparently our clean line is not working today, So well, yeah,
we'll go on the phone. Everything you said a moment
ago was beautifully put. And the work that the KFI
news team has done for so many years, it was
the goal of all of us at one time for
me to get to KFI and the wildfire coverage over
so many years, and then the leadership of Chris Little
(08:24):
and the work of all the reporters. It's been amazing
work that they've done.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, they're the best. I mean, you know when I
first started here and I still consider it to be
the same thing, it was like getting a job with
the Dodgers or the Yankees or the Dallas Cowboys. It
was the highest level in this field that you could
achieve in radio.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Absolutely, yeah, broadcasting and then the news team that I
remember Chris is thing years ago was something about you know,
we have a small swat team of reporters and they
may not be big, but it's a swat team and
it was so true. Southern California an incredible team of
what they did and the talents and then what they
(09:07):
do out on the streets, will be will be missed.
But it's a rough day.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I'm not going to say who this is, but somebody
who's no longer with KFI called me today and said
they they're only keeping people with little wieners.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I don't even know how to respond to that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I don't either, and I found it pretty offensive. And
he said, you're gonna be pretty safe there for a
long time. How unbelievable that, you know, unbelievable? All right,
So what's going on with Boeing? Young man?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, so by tomorrow, all of the thirty three thousand
Boeing machinists who build the seven thirty seven, the seven
sixty seven, and the Triple seven. These are all those
who walked off the job two months ago. They've they've
got to be back to work, so they're coming back.
It's been a while. They've got to get these factories
up and running again. There's a bunch of regulatory things
(10:01):
that they've got to do to get to producing airplanes.
And they can't just turn on lights and begin screwing
in wings again and get planes going. So the FAA
has got to come in and claric. So it's going
to be a little while, but by one estimate, the
strike costs Bowing about ten billion dollars over these last
eight weeks, and so that is now going to be
(10:23):
an issue on top of everything else that that Boeing
has had. Now the workers say they're ready to go.
They got a thirty eight percent pay raise out of
it by the end of the four year contract. The
average machinists who they can just shy of one hundred
and twenty grand a year born around seventy eight thousand
a year. So holding out they got a lot more money.
They did not get the pensions that they wanted. You
(10:45):
remember we talked about over and over again. It was
all about the pensions. They said they would not settle.
But they got to a point where the union said
that you're not going to get anything better, and it
may go backwards because Boeing is going to know that
the longer goes on and into the holiday time, that
that people need paychecks and that they're going to be
able to give you a lesser offer down the road.
(11:06):
So the union said, you got to take this deal
even if it has no pension, and they took it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
But wait, there's absolutely no pension. At all.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
No, they get their pensions went away ten years ago,
and they demanded that it come back or they weren't
going to sign anything. But in twenty twenty four, if
you lost your pensions ten years ago, you're not getting
them back. I mean, companies just don't have pensions any longer.
And if you do, wait, Rand fothered them out.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Wait minute. So that's the norm now that that new
employees are not getting pensions.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, they're not getting them. Even the employees will at Boeing,
even the employees that had them don't have them any longer.
They went away. And most companies you don't get them anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Ways as you go in, wait all inside. So somebody
who was getting a Boeing pension of you know, fifty
sixty seventy thousand dollars a year, they're no longer getting
those checks.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah they will. No, those who are already getting them,
yes they My understanding is they're good. But those who
still work at Boeing theirs went away. So in twenty or.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Thirty years from now, Boeing won't have to write any
more checks to any pensions.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Absolutely, at least in this union. And what this deal
was because they went away. They lost their pensions ten
years ago. That's what they were fighting to get back,
and that was their big sticking point to have them reinstated.
So they had their pensions again. They are gone. They
did not get them back, and yet the likelihood was
going to be small for any company that has gotten
rid of them or grandfathered them out that they're not
(12:31):
typically going to bring them back in. But the big
issue here is that they've lost about twenty five billion
dollars since twenty nineteen, and that's a mix of the
seven thirty seven Max problems, issues with the Triple seven,
issues with a Dreamliner, with their spacecraft coming back empty
after they left the astronauts up there the military. So
(12:53):
they're going to begin laying off and probably as early
as tomorrow. It's probably going to be this week. Boeing
will only say mid November, but it's expected to be
this week. Seventeen thousand Boeing workers are going to be
told they no longer have a job.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And that's half of the thirty three thousand people that
are out.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Yeah, it won't all be from that union, and it's
ten percent of the overall workforce, but their last day
of work is going to be January seventeenth. They'll get
the notification by legally in a mass layoff they've got
to do, and then give them a certain amount of
time the notification warning and then give them until January seventeenth.
So this is gonna be a rough week, just like
(13:30):
it is at iHeart and at KFI. It's going to
be a rough week in Boeing as well, where a
lot of workers probably this week, maybe next week, they're
going to be told that they're losing their job.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But this is not again Alex Jones with us, we're
talking about Boeing and the union making a deal, but
potential layoffs that are coming up. It's not just Seattle
or Saint Louis wherever they have their Midwestern hub. This
is a lot of people in Long Beach here in
southern California.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Yeah, this is going to be across the board, all
around the globe for Boeing, and we unders saying that
there is quite a bit of animosity in the Seattle
area right now because the union that has been out
on strike and cost the estimated ten billion dollars to Boeing.
They're all in the Seattle area, like those who build
Airplanes in Charleston who build the triple the seven eighty
(14:17):
seven there the Dreamliner. They're non union, they're not part
of that union. This was a seven thirty seven, seven
sixty seven Triple seven issue with that union in the
Seattle and rentin the Evert area. And there is now
some animosity from other Boeing workers saying, you guys did
this by costing the company so much money. Now Boeing
(14:38):
was in bad shape anyway, but this may have accelerated things.
But we understand from our colleagues up in Seattle that
there are Boeing workers who are quite angry at those
machinists who just held out and got almost forty percent
pay raise and bumps in their four oh one k
and a bunch of other things, twelve thousand dollars ratification
bonuses for agreeing to it. Because there are other were
(15:00):
think they're going to lose their job because of it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well, it's very difficult for Boeing to also compete with
air Bus because Airbus is subsidized by the European Union,
the governments of Germany and France. I don't know if England,
I think Spain is involved. They subsidize those planes, so
it's easier for them to compete. Alex, thank you for
coming on. I appreciate it and we will speak to
you real soon.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You got it, Thanks, Kim.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Are you too all right? Alex Stone with ABC News.
So Boeing going back to work. A lot of people
here in southern California rely on Boeing and no pensions anymore.
That might be the wave of the future, a pensionless world,
which sucks because people rely on those pensions as they
(15:46):
get older. You know a lot of police officers, fire
you know, city workers, county state, they get these big
old heefty pensions and the private sector is going to
be screwed out of them. So kids, if you're listening,
get into that public sector. Get it one of those
public jobs, county, state, city, whatever it is. Go get
(16:07):
you stuff, a public job, teacher, fireman, cop, whatever you do.
Get in there, get that cash. You get a punch
when you get older. Enjoy yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I hear this belly, Oh you're pretty good with this
kind of crap. I hear this wicked thing everywhere. I
hear people doing podcasts. I hear the movies coming out.
They're doing a lot of publicity.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, for this movie Wicked with Ariana your Faith.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, I like when Ariana Grande. I saw Wicked the
play in New York. Is that what they call it?
A play?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Musical?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Musical? Yeah, and that's right. I saw it on Broadway.
I have seen two plays in the last thirty years
on Broadway too, music one with Chicago, which I like,
and I left it halftime though, is what they call it.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I believe it's called the intern mission mission.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I left it in a halftime. I wasn't into it.
But but the Wicked, I couldn't hear it. I don't
know if I had a bad seat or if i'm
you know, I don't maybe I'm getting older, I don't know.
But I couldn't hear the performance. And I've never had
that problem with hearing in my life, so I think
(17:30):
that the sound wasn't that great. And when you can't
hear something you know you're paying one hundred and twenty
dollars for, makes you really pissed. So I didn't have
a real sense of what was going on on stage Bellio.
What is Wicked?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
It's the prequel to Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I couldn't think for a second.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What does that mean? A prequel to Wizard of Us?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Like the story before?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So what happened to Dorothy before the dog and the
basket and everything? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
What led to them being in the situation that they're in?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And it's it's just Dorothy's life working on the farm?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah really basically?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, how did the Wicked Witch of the West become
the Wicked Witch of the West? Essentially?
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Is that right? I see? Okay, all right, Well they've
also made a pretty wicked mistake on this thing.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Why why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, Mattel is apologizing. They put a web address on
the packaging, and it was supposed to be you know,
you go to the website and you go to the
you know, Wicked Performance or whatever. But there's also Wicked Pictures,
which is adult oriented. And now all of those kids
(18:41):
are getting this this you know, this doll, and I
don't know whether it's a Mattel doll. I don't know
whether it's a Dorothy doll or a Wicked Witch doll
or Barbie. I don't know what it is. I'm not
really in that game. And they now they've got to
recall all of them and change them out.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
So Mattel is apologizing for a wicked mistake A weblink.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Oh yeah, see, they're always also calling it a wicked mistake.
I thought I was the original with that. I guess not.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Mattel is apologizing for a wicked mistake. A weblink on
the packaging for two dollars promoting the new movie Wicked
was actually a link to a port site.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh no, that's horrible.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
It was apparently a typo that left out some letters
from the movie's website. Mattel said, we deeply regret.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
This unfortunate error.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Parents are advised that this misprinted, incorrect website is not
appropriate for children. Consumers are advised to discard the product
packaging or obscure the link.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Okay, yoh, we'll get right on it. But do you
think that was done on purpose for publicity? I don't know.
I don't know, maybe not, but I'm always thinking maybe
maybe it was. You know, they got a tremendous amount
of publicity for this day. When does this come out?
When does this open soon? This Wicked looks look wicked?
Are you gonna go see it? Pelly? Are you a
big fan?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I actually yeah, I saw Wicked on Broadway as well.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh don't you have a friend in it?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yes, my friend Annalie Ashford played Glinda.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Why. Yes, that's some kind of connection.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's a huge connection.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Was he Is she a childhood friend?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
She?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I went to high school with her? Her her mom
was pregnant with her or high school?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Wait a minute, her mom was pregnant with her when
you were in high school? Yeah, with the mom.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Wait, friend, I shouldn't be telling this.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Oh well, look it's out, it's out there.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, my apologies to her.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Then? Yeah, how old was she when she was in
like high school.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
With your Annalie or her mom the mom?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
She was you know, eighteen?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
She was eighteen and in high school she was a little
older than us, Right, I don't believe that.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh that is that is the truth.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Okay, So she was eighteen? Was she married?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
That's it's Wicked. It's coming out.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Do you want to judge her? I'm just asking for
people out there that are gonna judge.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I shouldn't even said that. So Wicked too.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
What we know?
Speaker 10 (21:03):
It's coming out November twenty first, okay, and what.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Best part you were talking about how you couldn't make
it through the intermission. They split this thing into two movies.
I think what's going on here is that Bellio is
pissed at this woman. Yeah, no, I'm not don't even
know that.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah which woman?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The woman that got pregnant?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Oh no, no, no, no, she's a dear friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Okay, let me tell you why. I don't think that's true.
She is in high school and is going to start
her family. Before you were dating, I might have been
a little jealous. She was super cute, so was she
very Was she a cheerleader?
Speaker 9 (21:49):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Were you a cheerleader? No? You never made cheer or
you wanted to get cheer. You didn't care about cheer.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
When I was in junior high I wanted, but they
didn't want me.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Really, you tried it out for chair Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
No, ahead of student council though.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Oh you did all right, But did they give that
to everybody that doesn't make chair?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Or basically, but.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You were Angel the day. I'm really telling you, Angel,
you gotta be careful when you drive home. This is
not the day for she is serious, but so so,
you know, the mom of the girl.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
In Wickeds shouldn't have said anything.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, I know, but you did?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I do you still know her?
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Did you get freebie free tickets? No? I paid for
Oh so that you didn't get that.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Only because I didn't want to ask. She would have absolutely.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Please, When did you start the I don't want to
ask for freebies? When did that start? You know that
I don't want to ask for freebies.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Or adams I paid for to go see or right?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
But how many times? How many calls did you make
to try and get freebies before you finally gave the
credit call?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Maybe three? Book I ended up paying on my own.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I know, but after three roadblocks.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I still get credit.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Okay, But look, I don't know how much credit you
get for being a saint when when when you bang
on people constantly for freebies.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
There's been a few times that we've had some lovely
guests and I thought, you know, here's an opportunity for
you to get freebies.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
How many free meals? And please be honest, I know
the circumstances around it. How many free meals have you
had at the White House? Why are we going there?
Speaker 8 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He offered.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You took home a free meal too.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I took home two free meals and you spilled it
in the No, no, no, no, it was improperly packaged.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Oh so you're blaming the White House that gave you
a free meal meal for improperly packaging your food.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
One how he gave me the pasta with the vegetable. Yeah,
and a lot of butter and olive oil. And when
I brought it home, the butter and the olive oil
all leaked out into my carpet of the car.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, that's your fault.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Fortunately, the car is eighteen years old. It soaked that
up like a champ that was on. That was the
one hundred and fiftieth stained in that area, right, Yeah,
so I didn't even care. I didn't care.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Also, he offers it up to everyone that works.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
That was the best post I've ever had my life.
That's that possi.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
And there's a name for it, Yeah, that Vera. No maybe, yeah,

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
We are.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Oh, that's great.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
On Giving Tuesday, December third.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
December third, Yeah, we'll all be down there.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yes, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Hey BELLYO. We were asked to record something for the
Dean Sharp. Yeah, yes, are we gonna do that? Yeah,
I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It on the air off there we everything on the
ears so that it's.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The opening to his big party. I can't go because
I'm not going to be in town. I might go,
but I found out I might be in town, So
you should go. You should go.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
If you go, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's a Sunday, you'll be there. It's November twenty fourth. Yes,
you can drive.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Up for them.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I would for Dinya.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Really yeah, let me, we'll go. How do you get
to that party? How do people get into that thing?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I think they already have the guests.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I don't know, is that right?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I'd have to ask them. We'll find that out and
we'll let people know.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Okay, all right. A lot of people are not have
gotten the message. They had Prop thirty six passed, and
a lot of people are going to go to start
going to jail again for the breakings. But man, they
keep happening, They keep happening. I think they're trying to
get in the last couple before this new proposition or
measure kicks in Prop thirty six, because it's going to
(25:52):
come down pretty hard on people who do this, pretty
pretty hard on people with the smash and grabbers are
wanting it, wandering into restaurants during off hours.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
The business behind me has been broken into three times
within a three times.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Three times. This guy replaced the front door.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
Within a five day period, and as you can imagine
the business manager, he's frustrated, saying enough is enough.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
How can the guy coming in the third time possibly
think that there's gonna be anything worthwhile in there? The
third time in five days? Five days?
Speaker 11 (26:27):
They think it's the same suspect, the same individual.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's hitting up not just this business.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
But others in this area.
Speaker 12 (26:34):
They smash and grab on repeat for this small business.
The first burglaryhappened in the early morning hours of Halloween
when a guy on a bike rolls up to the
Curry Pizza Company in Walnut and throws what appears to
be a rock through the front door.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
He intentionally tore some raw on the door. Still went
to the resist shirt who break the thanks on and
he knows there's no money.
Speaker 12 (26:55):
On another day, the suspect appears to take out a
crowbar and smashes through the glass door.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
All right, that's two rock first day, then the crowbar.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
Each time he's made his way inside, jumps the counter
and grabs what he can from the register.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
We decide we're going to put the money away from
their reshersal when you come in he's the empty resistor there,
so he knows there's nothing for him.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But you know a lot of people are doing that,
people own restaurants and stores. They're opening the register and
keeping it near the front door to show people there's
no money, and yet they still break in.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
There's nothing for a him, But he came in, break
the door, try and look for something out.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
The sussman conceals his identity, covering part of his face,
making off with four hundred dollars the first time, and
then smashes the register the second time.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Repair costs are adding up.
Speaker 12 (27:40):
It costs around seven hundred dollars to fix the broken
door each time, which isn't covered by insurance.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And whoever's in the broken door game, where's in? You know,
the business of replacing these front doors. They have got
to be making a lot of money every single night
in the san Fernando Valley three four five doors are
busted in. That's pretty pretty safe and pretty quiet.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
If it's one person, it sounds like a crime of opportunity.
Speaker 12 (28:04):
The business manager believes a suspect is an unhoused individual
from the area who they've been giving leftovers too, but
has threatened some employees in the past, even showing up
with a bb gun.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You know, there's a there's a guy that owns a
restaurant in Burbank. I'm not going to tell you his
name or what restaurant it is, because I don't think
he wants me to tell the story and identify the restaurant.
But he had a homeless woman come in last week
and she looked very disheveled, very tired. She looked very hungry,
(28:37):
and she said, hey, can I get a meal? And
the owner was there, The owner of the of the
restaurant happened to be there. He said, yeah, yeah, He said,
I'm going to pay for it. I'm going to pay
for it. I'm going to give you a meal. I'm
gonna give you a hot meal. I'll pay for it.
Anything you want. And she looks at the menu. He
gives her a menu and she looks at the menu
and she goes, let's see, let's see what did I
(28:59):
have here? Last time? That got me sick? That was
her response. The last time she ate there, she got sick.
She was about to get a free meal from this guy.
And the last time she goes the last time I
hear I got I get really deathly ill. Let me see,
let me see, and he's like, get that hell out
of here. What's wrong with you? And people are unbelievable, the.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Nerves and our employees are calling off just to be
you know, they just want to be a safe at home.
They don't feel in a safe here. We're just wanting
to you know, walling people, help, community, help, just support
us whatever they can ye help us to, you know,
keep that business alive.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Now to other businesses across the street were also targeted
during the same timeframe.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Again, they think it's the same suspect.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
So anyone with any information should contact the La County
Sheriff's Department.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, they'll be right on it. But it's you know,
and what are they going to do until Prop thirty
six kits kicks in. What what can you do? Nothing?
It'll just keep happening over and over and over again.
It sucks, but that's what's going on, all right. This
is Veterans Day where we get an opportunity. The one
day a year should be more, it should be a
(30:04):
month or two months, but the one day a year
where we can honor the veterans and man. Without those
brave young men and women, this country would be nothing,
nothing here. It'd just be lawlessness. It'd be horrible. We
couldn't be doing this here, nothing without these guys and goals.
Speaker 13 (30:26):
Families have come out to say thank you to all
the veterans who have served in our militaries. All love
the chairs lined up, everybody brought lawn cheers out.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You see their umbrellas the parade for the veterans. It's
a great idea.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
They like the nice sunny day out here. We've even
seen some people with the posters saying thank you veterans,
and people saying, you know, they're bringing pictures off their
loved ones because that is who they're honoring, even though
they're no longer with us. And if you look further
down the street, you are seeing them for it's getting
ready to get underway here. We're about tennis out further
down the horses are set up at eleven eleven, and
(31:00):
that's exactly when this parade will get underway. You can
just see so many people lined up and down the streets.
Every year, there's thousands and thousands of people who come
on out here to say again thank you to all
those brave men and women who served our country. Among
them are these individuals we caught up with tikiles.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
In on just because of all what all the veterans did,
and just to think the ones that are still alive
and honor.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
This is how we support our veterans.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
You know, my friends here, my brother and sister that
their dad died of Vietnam veteran you know.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
And I can't tell. I'm puzzled right now. I'm usually
pretty good at identifying, you know, which which one it is,
and I cannot do this. I'm so torn right now
between does this sound exactly like Bellio or Angel? And
I'm usually I can nail it like, oh that that
sounds like Angel, Oh that sounds like Belly here let
(31:53):
me hear all right, I'll play you for it. I
can't tell if it sounds like Angel or Bellio. Here
we go, just because.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Of all what all the veterans dead, and just to
think the ones that are still alive.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
And right there that sounds like Bellio.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
The ones that are still alive.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And that sounds like Bellio right here you.
Speaker 10 (32:11):
Put if you put in, hey, Timmy, that is that
is Angel all day long.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Wait, but the end sounds like angel.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
This is how we support our venance, you know.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
I don't know, just because of all what, all the veterans.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Dead and okay, that sounds like Bellio. Just to think
and that sounds like angel right here, just to.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
Think the ones that are still alive.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And it's a little belly. I don't know that's Angel.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
I don't know, Man, it sounds angel is really I
can hear his belly?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Is that right?
Speaker 10 (32:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Look I think it's great whoever it is. I mean, look,
you're honoring the veterans. I think that's terrific. But man,
is it sound exactly like both of you?
Speaker 8 (32:50):
Just because of all what, all the veterans dead, and
just to think the ones that are still alive, and this.
Speaker 14 (32:58):
Is how we You know, my friends here, my brother
and sister that their dad died of Vietnam veteran you know,
and my father and my god.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Now I can't tell if this is Krozier or Steph.
Who do you think? This sounds like more steps and
more growth.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
This is how we support our veteriness.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You know, that sounds like Krozier.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
My friends here, my brother and sister that yeah, right,
My friends here.
Speaker 14 (33:24):
My brother and sister that their dad died of Vietnam veteran,
you know, and my father and my son are also
a vitrians.
Speaker 9 (33:30):
So we're here at a community to support them.
Speaker 13 (33:33):
And you could see all of the people here. We're
talking of smaller kids, of babies, of older people. The
people that we've spoken with tell us, you know, they
think it's important to make sure that the younger generations
don't just see this as a day off, but a
day to truly honor those people who sacrifice everything for us,
and not just them as in the veterans, but also
their families who stayed behind all they went off and served.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's right, excellent, all right. We're live on ki Conway Show,
on demand and on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app,
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
KFI AM sixty. It is the Conway Show. Well, you
may have heard by now. There has been a lot
of people who have left the building here at iHeartMedia,
and it is tough. It is tough. I've known most
of the people. I'm like the newest guy here. You know,
(00:29):
everybody who's on the air here, with the exception I
think of Amy King and maybe Mo Kelly. But Bill
Handle was here for years and years before I got here.
So was Gary, so is Shannon, so is John and Ken.
And I've been here fourteen years, almost fifteen years, no,
fifteen years, and I'm the new new guy around here,
(00:51):
with the exception of Moe Kelly and so I've known
these people my entire life here. When I started here,
my daughter was three years old. She just turned four
the first year I started here, in two thousand and nine.
In June of two thousand and nine, I was a
(01:12):
kalis X for twelve years, KBC for twelve hours they
said get out, and then here for since two thousand
and nine. So fifteen years, yeah, fifteen years and My
daughter was three, just turned four when I started here.
And Krozier's daughter, how old were you? How old was
(01:34):
your daughter when I started in two thousand and nine.
Where was she born? She was one one, she was seven,
six or seven? And I remember she used to Krozer,
who worked his ass off, not that he doesn't now,
but back then he was working night shifts, weekends, Christmas,
(01:55):
New Year's, the whole run. And so when he had
his daughter on Christmas, she would come in, she would
put a sleeping bag behind him, fall asleep and wake
up to Christmas presents. Because Sanna found the newsroom. Yeah,
and Krozier up all night not only doing the news
but wrapping gifts all night. Yeah, that was incredible. Yeah yeah,
(02:18):
but here in the newsroom, like you know, the last
minute gifts. And she woke up at you know, six
o'clock in the morning. Crozer's still working and looked down like, hey, look,
Sanna found the newsroom. And that Sanah found that newsroom
all the time, never missed that newsroom. And you know
guys like you know, like Steve Gregory, I've known my
(02:40):
entire life here. We're friends outside of out work. Chris
Little Aaron ben Mosch. You know all these some of
the newer ones, some of the older employees, and you
know Robin and Don and and and all. You know Robin,
who's the person who hired me. And so it's it's
(03:03):
it's tough. It's before the holidays. I think a lot
of entertainment is going through restructuring, like a lot of
companies are. I saw it. I think it was Lexus
the other day that said nine thousand people were being
let go. Boeing is bringing what thirty some one thousand back,
thirty three thousand people back, But I imagine they're not
(03:26):
all going to stay at that at that wage. And
there's a lot of restructuring in this country. And and
you know for people to say, and again this is
not the case here at KFI, but there are a
lot of people that said, you know, if if you
(03:46):
raise the wages of people, you're going to have to
let some people go. And that's been happening around the country.
Not the case here, but at you know, in the
fast food industry. I imagine it Boeing, it'll be the
same thing. I know it happened at Lexus where these
you know, the employees were making a ton of money
(04:08):
and they had let some some people go. But it's it.
It just sucks. It just sucks. It was I I've known,
you know, Chris Little, the news director. He he lived
and still lives out in Rancho Cuckamonger Inland Empire, and
(04:29):
is the Rancho Cuckamonga. I think just passed. And so whatever,
I went to Marongo. I'd go to Morongo two three
times a year just to visit my money. And when
I would drive by Rancho's Rancho, where the hell does
he live? Getting old? I'll take the two ten through
(04:53):
Rancho Cucka Manga and I'd call him up and I say, hey, Chris,
I'm ten exits from you. I'm going to Marongo. You
want to go? Every time he said yes and jumped
to the car. We went, except one day. Driving out
of the two ten, I'm passing the fifty seven, remember
exactly where I was. And I called Chris Little and
I said, Hey, I'm going to Marongo. You want to go?
(05:17):
And he said, ah, I'd love to, but it's Saturday night.
It's my wife and our anniversary, it's our thirtieth anniversary,
and we're going out to dinner. I can't make it tonight.
And I'm like, oh man, what a great excuse though,
great recent, happy anniversary. I'll catch you next time. He said,
all right, well, good luck out there, and I said okay,
all right, And then five minutes later my phone rang
(05:40):
and I looked down. It's Chris Little and I'm like,
what's going on. You make a bet for you out
there or anything? He says, no, no, he said, stop
by my house. I talked her into me going to Moroco.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well, she wanted him to enjoy his anniversary.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
How great is that? And so he gets in the
car and go, buddy, you've got to tell me how
you did that. How the hell on your thirtieth anniversary
going out to dinner with your wife, big night, two
of you, thirty years together. How the hell did you
get out of that? And he said, Tim, I'm not
nineteen and I haven't been married for three weeks. I
(06:21):
have been married thirty years. She probably wanted me to
do this as much as I wanted to do it,
you know what I mean. She wanted some time away.
But it's it is. It's it's rough around the halls.
We're going to try to get you a quality you
know amount of news, but it's it's tough. It is tough,
(06:44):
and I think a lot of companies go through it,
a lot of people make a lot of very dear friends.
And I know I'm missing somebody or not mentioning somebody,
and I apologize, and then you see him every day
and you think it's going to be like that for
the rest of the time, and it's not. And it's not.
(07:05):
When I left kles X, everybody got let go in
the same day, so we're all in the same boat.
But here it's uh, it's different. We're gonna you're gonna help.
You'll have a lot of voices on the air that
you recognize. You'll have some voices on the air soon
that you won't recognize. But again, we are going to
(07:26):
try to get you as much information as we can.
There's articles out there about what happened here and you
could feel please feel free to go read those and
when we come back, we will try to normalize this
program with Alex Stone, one of our dear friends from
ABC dues.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
All right, I see the phone is is lit here
and somebody's calling from KBC TV. He must be at
work at Stone, how you bubb Well?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Apparently our clean line is not working today, So well, yeah,
we'll go on the phone. Everything you said a moment
ago was beautifully put. And the work that the KFI
news team has done for so many years, it was
the goal of all of us at one time for
me to get to KFI and the wildfire coverage over
so many years, and then the leadership of Chris Little
(08:24):
and the work of all the reporters. It's been amazing
work that they've done.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, they're the best. I mean, you know when I
first started here and I still consider it to be
the same thing, it was like getting a job with
the Dodgers or the Yankees or the Dallas Cowboys. It
was the highest level in this field that you could
achieve in radio.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Absolutely, yeah, broadcasting and then the news team that I
remember Chris is thing years ago was something about you know,
we have a small swat team of reporters and they
may not be big, but it's a swat team and
it was so true. Southern California an incredible team of
what they did and the talents and then what they
(09:07):
do out on the streets, will be will be missed.
But it's a rough day.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I'm not going to say who this is, but somebody
who's no longer with KFI called me today and said
they they're only keeping people with little wieners.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I don't even know how to respond to that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I don't either, and I found it pretty offensive. And
he said, you're gonna be pretty safe there for a
long time. How unbelievable that, you know, unbelievable? All right,
So what's going on with Boeing? Young man?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, so by tomorrow, all of the thirty three thousand
Boeing machinists who build the seven thirty seven, the seven
sixty seven, and the Triple seven. These are all those
who walked off the job two months ago. They've they've
got to be back to work, so they're coming back.
It's been a while. They've got to get these factories
up and running again. There's a bunch of regulatory things
(10:01):
that they've got to do to get to producing airplanes.
And they can't just turn on lights and begin screwing
in wings again and get planes going. So the FAA
has got to come in and claric. So it's going
to be a little while, but by one estimate, the
strike costs Bowing about ten billion dollars over these last
eight weeks, and so that is now going to be
(10:23):
an issue on top of everything else that that Boeing
has had. Now the workers say they're ready to go.
They got a thirty eight percent pay raise out of
it by the end of the four year contract. The
average machinists who they can just shy of one hundred
and twenty grand a year born around seventy eight thousand
a year. So holding out they got a lot more money.
They did not get the pensions that they wanted. You
(10:45):
remember we talked about over and over again. It was
all about the pensions. They said they would not settle.
But they got to a point where the union said
that you're not going to get anything better, and it
may go backwards because Boeing is going to know that
the longer goes on and into the holiday time, that
that people need paychecks and that they're going to be
able to give you a lesser offer down the road.
(11:06):
So the union said, you got to take this deal
even if it has no pension, and they took it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
But wait, there's absolutely no pension. At all.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
No, they get their pensions went away ten years ago,
and they demanded that it come back or they weren't
going to sign anything. But in twenty twenty four, if
you lost your pensions ten years ago, you're not getting
them back. I mean, companies just don't have pensions any longer.
And if you do, wait, Rand fothered them out.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Wait minute. So that's the norm now that that new
employees are not getting pensions.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, they're not getting them. Even the employees will at Boeing,
even the employees that had them don't have them any longer.
They went away. And most companies you don't get them anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Ways as you go in, wait all inside. So somebody
who was getting a Boeing pension of you know, fifty
sixty seventy thousand dollars a year, they're no longer getting
those checks.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah they will. No, those who are already getting them,
yes they My understanding is they're good. But those who
still work at Boeing theirs went away. So in twenty or.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Thirty years from now, Boeing won't have to write any
more checks to any pensions.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Absolutely, at least in this union. And what this deal
was because they went away. They lost their pensions ten
years ago. That's what they were fighting to get back,
and that was their big sticking point to have them reinstated.
So they had their pensions again. They are gone. They
did not get them back, and yet the likelihood was
going to be small for any company that has gotten
rid of them or grandfathered them out that they're not
(12:31):
typically going to bring them back in. But the big
issue here is that they've lost about twenty five billion
dollars since twenty nineteen, and that's a mix of the
seven thirty seven Max problems, issues with the Triple seven,
issues with a Dreamliner, with their spacecraft coming back empty
after they left the astronauts up there the military. So
(12:53):
they're going to begin laying off and probably as early
as tomorrow. It's probably going to be this week. Boeing
will only say mid November, but it's expected to be
this week. Seventeen thousand Boeing workers are going to be
told they no longer have a job.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And that's half of the thirty three thousand people that
are out.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Yeah, it won't all be from that union, and it's
ten percent of the overall workforce, but their last day
of work is going to be January seventeenth. They'll get
the notification by legally in a mass layoff they've got
to do, and then give them a certain amount of
time the notification warning and then give them until January seventeenth.
So this is gonna be a rough week, just like
(13:30):
it is at iHeart and at KFI. It's going to
be a rough week in Boeing as well, where a
lot of workers probably this week, maybe next week, they're
going to be told that they're losing their job.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But this is not again Alex Jones with us, we're
talking about Boeing and the union making a deal, but
potential layoffs that are coming up. It's not just Seattle
or Saint Louis wherever they have their Midwestern hub. This
is a lot of people in Long Beach here in
southern California.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Yeah, this is going to be across the board, all
around the globe for Boeing, and we unders saying that
there is quite a bit of animosity in the Seattle
area right now because the union that has been out
on strike and cost the estimated ten billion dollars to Boeing.
They're all in the Seattle area, like those who build
Airplanes in Charleston who build the triple the seven eighty
(14:17):
seven there the Dreamliner. They're non union, they're not part
of that union. This was a seven thirty seven, seven
sixty seven Triple seven issue with that union in the
Seattle and rentin the Evert area. And there is now
some animosity from other Boeing workers saying, you guys did
this by costing the company so much money. Now Boeing
(14:38):
was in bad shape anyway, but this may have accelerated things.
But we understand from our colleagues up in Seattle that
there are Boeing workers who are quite angry at those
machinists who just held out and got almost forty percent
pay raise and bumps in their four oh one k
and a bunch of other things, twelve thousand dollars ratification
bonuses for agreeing to it. Because there are other were
(15:00):
think they're going to lose their job because of it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well, it's very difficult for Boeing to also compete with
air Bus because Airbus is subsidized by the European Union,
the governments of Germany and France. I don't know if England,
I think Spain is involved. They subsidize those planes, so
it's easier for them to compete. Alex, thank you for
coming on. I appreciate it and we will speak to
you real soon.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You got it, Thanks, Kim.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Are you too all right? Alex Stone with ABC News.
So Boeing going back to work. A lot of people
here in southern California rely on Boeing and no pensions anymore.
That might be the wave of the future, a pensionless world,
which sucks because people rely on those pensions as they
(15:46):
get older. You know a lot of police officers, fire
you know, city workers, county state, they get these big
old heefty pensions and the private sector is going to
be screwed out of them. So kids, if you're listening,
get into that public sector. Get it one of those
public jobs, county, state, city, whatever it is. Go get
(16:07):
you stuff, a public job, teacher, fireman, cop, whatever you do.
Get in there, get that cash. You get a punch
when you get older. Enjoy yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I hear this belly, Oh you're pretty good with this
kind of crap. I hear this wicked thing everywhere. I
hear people doing podcasts. I hear the movies coming out.
They're doing a lot of publicity.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, for this movie Wicked with Ariana your Faith.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, I like when Ariana Grande. I saw Wicked the
play in New York. Is that what they call it?
A play?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Musical?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Musical? Yeah, and that's right. I saw it on Broadway.
I have seen two plays in the last thirty years
on Broadway too, music one with Chicago, which I like,
and I left it halftime though, is what they call it.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I believe it's called the intern mission mission.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I left it in a halftime. I wasn't into it.
But but the Wicked, I couldn't hear it. I don't
know if I had a bad seat or if i'm
you know, I don't maybe I'm getting older, I don't know.
But I couldn't hear the performance. And I've never had
that problem with hearing in my life, so I think
(17:30):
that the sound wasn't that great. And when you can't
hear something you know you're paying one hundred and twenty
dollars for, makes you really pissed. So I didn't have
a real sense of what was going on on stage Bellio.
What is Wicked?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
It's the prequel to Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I couldn't think for a second.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What does that mean? A prequel to Wizard of Us?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Like the story before?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So what happened to Dorothy before the dog and the
basket and everything? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
What led to them being in the situation that they're in?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And it's it's just Dorothy's life working on the farm?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah really basically?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, how did the Wicked Witch of the West become
the Wicked Witch of the West? Essentially?
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Is that right? I see? Okay, all right, Well they've
also made a pretty wicked mistake on this thing.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Why why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, Mattel is apologizing. They put a web address on
the packaging, and it was supposed to be you know,
you go to the website and you go to the
you know, Wicked Performance or whatever. But there's also Wicked Pictures,
which is adult oriented. And now all of those kids
(18:41):
are getting this this you know, this doll, and I
don't know whether it's a Mattel doll. I don't know
whether it's a Dorothy doll or a Wicked Witch doll
or Barbie. I don't know what it is. I'm not
really in that game. And they now they've got to
recall all of them and change them out.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
So Mattel is apologizing for a wicked mistake A weblink.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Oh yeah, see, they're always also calling it a wicked mistake.
I thought I was the original with that. I guess not.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Mattel is apologizing for a wicked mistake. A weblink on
the packaging for two dollars promoting the new movie Wicked
was actually a link to a port site.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh no, that's horrible.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
It was apparently a typo that left out some letters
from the movie's website. Mattel said, we deeply regret.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
This unfortunate error.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Parents are advised that this misprinted, incorrect website is not
appropriate for children. Consumers are advised to discard the product
packaging or obscure the link.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Okay, yoh, we'll get right on it. But do you
think that was done on purpose for publicity? I don't know.
I don't know, maybe not, but I'm always thinking maybe
maybe it was. You know, they got a tremendous amount
of publicity for this day. When does this come out?
When does this open soon? This Wicked looks look wicked?
Are you gonna go see it? Pelly? Are you a
big fan?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I actually yeah, I saw Wicked on Broadway as well.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh don't you have a friend in it?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yes, my friend Annalie Ashford played Glinda.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Why. Yes, that's some kind of connection.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's a huge connection.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Was he Is she a childhood friend?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
She?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I went to high school with her? Her her mom
was pregnant with her or high school?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Wait a minute, her mom was pregnant with her when
you were in high school? Yeah, with the mom.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Wait, friend, I shouldn't be telling this.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Oh well, look it's out, it's out there.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, my apologies to her.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Then? Yeah, how old was she when she was in
like high school.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
With your Annalie or her mom the mom?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
She was you know, eighteen?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
She was eighteen and in high school she was a little
older than us, Right, I don't believe that.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh that is that is the truth.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Okay, So she was eighteen? Was she married?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
That's it's Wicked. It's coming out.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Do you want to judge her? I'm just asking for
people out there that are gonna judge.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I shouldn't even said that. So Wicked too.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
What we know?
Speaker 10 (21:03):
It's coming out November twenty first, okay, and what.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Best part you were talking about how you couldn't make
it through the intermission. They split this thing into two movies.
I think what's going on here is that Bellio is
pissed at this woman. Yeah, no, I'm not don't even
know that.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah which woman?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The woman that got pregnant?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Oh no, no, no, no, she's a dear friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Okay, let me tell you why. I don't think that's true.
She is in high school and is going to start
her family. Before you were dating, I might have been
a little jealous. She was super cute, so was she
very Was she a cheerleader?
Speaker 9 (21:49):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Were you a cheerleader? No? You never made cheer or
you wanted to get cheer. You didn't care about cheer.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
When I was in junior high I wanted, but they
didn't want me.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Really, you tried it out for chair Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
No, ahead of student council though.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Oh you did all right, But did they give that
to everybody that doesn't make chair?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Or basically, but.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You were Angel the day. I'm really telling you, Angel,
you gotta be careful when you drive home. This is
not the day for she is serious, but so so,
you know, the mom of the girl.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
In Wickeds shouldn't have said anything.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, I know, but you did?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I do you still know her?
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Did you get freebie free tickets? No? I paid for
Oh so that you didn't get that.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Only because I didn't want to ask. She would have absolutely.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Please, When did you start the I don't want to
ask for freebies? When did that start? You know that
I don't want to ask for freebies.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Or adams I paid for to go see or right?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
But how many times? How many calls did you make
to try and get freebies before you finally gave the
credit call?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Maybe three? Book I ended up paying on my own.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I know, but after three roadblocks.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I still get credit.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Okay, But look, I don't know how much credit you
get for being a saint when when when you bang
on people constantly for freebies.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
There's been a few times that we've had some lovely
guests and I thought, you know, here's an opportunity for
you to get freebies.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
How many free meals? And please be honest, I know
the circumstances around it. How many free meals have you
had at the White House? Why are we going there?
Speaker 8 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He offered.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You took home a free meal too.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I took home two free meals and you spilled it
in the No, no, no, no, it was improperly packaged.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Oh so you're blaming the White House that gave you
a free meal meal for improperly packaging your food.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
One how he gave me the pasta with the vegetable. Yeah,
and a lot of butter and olive oil. And when
I brought it home, the butter and the olive oil
all leaked out into my carpet of the car.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, that's your fault.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Fortunately, the car is eighteen years old. It soaked that
up like a champ that was on. That was the
one hundred and fiftieth stained in that area, right, Yeah,
so I didn't even care. I didn't care.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Also, he offers it up to everyone that works.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
That was the best post I've ever had my life.
That's that possi.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
And there's a name for it, Yeah, that Vera. No maybe, yeah,
you're right, it's Suprima Vera.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It was great. It was unbeair. Are we doing that
again this year?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
We are.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Oh, that's great.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
On Giving Tuesday, December third.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
December third, Yeah, we'll all be down there.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yes, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Hey BELLYO. We were asked to record something for the
Dean Sharp. Yeah, yes, are we gonna do that? Yeah,
I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It on the air off there we everything on the
ears so that it's.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The opening to his big party. I can't go because
I'm not going to be in town. I might go,
but I found out I might be in town, So
you should go. You should go.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
If you go, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's a Sunday, you'll be there. It's November twenty fourth. Yes,
you can drive.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Up for them.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I would for Dinya.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Really yeah, let me, we'll go. How do you get
to that party? How do people get into that thing?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I think they already have the guests.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I don't know, is that right?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I'd have to ask them. We'll find that out and
we'll let people know.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Okay, all right. A lot of people are not have
gotten the message. They had Prop thirty six passed, and
a lot of people are going to go to start
going to jail again for the breakings. But man, they
keep happening, They keep happening. I think they're trying to
get in the last couple before this new proposition or
measure kicks in Prop thirty six, because it's going to
(25:52):
come down pretty hard on people who do this, pretty
pretty hard on people with the smash and grabbers are
wanting it, wandering into restaurants during off hours.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
The business behind me has been broken into three times
within a three times.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Three times. This guy replaced the front door.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
Within a five day period, and as you can imagine
the business manager, he's frustrated, saying enough is enough.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
How can the guy coming in the third time possibly
think that there's gonna be anything worthwhile in there? The
third time in five days? Five days?
Speaker 11 (26:27):
They think it's the same suspect, the same individual.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's hitting up not just this business.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
But others in this area.
Speaker 12 (26:34):
They smash and grab on repeat for this small business.
The first burglaryhappened in the early morning hours of Halloween
when a guy on a bike rolls up to the
Curry Pizza Company in Walnut and throws what appears to
be a rock through the front door.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
He intentionally tore some raw on the door. Still went
to the resist shirt who break the thanks on and
he knows there's no money.
Speaker 12 (26:55):
On another day, the suspect appears to take out a
crowbar and smashes through the glass door.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
All right, that's two rock first day, then the crowbar.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
Each time he's made his way inside, jumps the counter
and grabs what he can from the register.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
We decide we're going to put the money away from
their reshersal when you come in he's the empty resistor there,
so he knows there's nothing for him.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But you know a lot of people are doing that,
people own restaurants and stores. They're opening the register and
keeping it near the front door to show people there's
no money, and yet they still break in.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
There's nothing for a him, But he came in, break
the door, try and look for something out.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
The sussman conceals his identity, covering part of his face,
making off with four hundred dollars the first time, and
then smashes the register the second time.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Repair costs are adding up.
Speaker 12 (27:40):
It costs around seven hundred dollars to fix the broken
door each time, which isn't covered by insurance.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And whoever's in the broken door game, where's in? You know,
the business of replacing these front doors. They have got
to be making a lot of money every single night
in the san Fernando Valley three four five doors are
busted in. That's pretty pretty safe and pretty quiet.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
If it's one person, it sounds like a crime of opportunity.
Speaker 12 (28:04):
The business manager believes a suspect is an unhoused individual
from the area who they've been giving leftovers too, but
has threatened some employees in the past, even showing up
with a bb gun.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You know, there's a there's a guy that owns a
restaurant in Burbank. I'm not going to tell you his
name or what restaurant it is, because I don't think
he wants me to tell the story and identify the restaurant.
But he had a homeless woman come in last week
and she looked very disheveled, very tired. She looked very hungry,
(28:37):
and she said, hey, can I get a meal? And
the owner was there, The owner of the of the
restaurant happened to be there. He said, yeah, yeah, He said,
I'm going to pay for it. I'm going to pay
for it. I'm going to give you a meal. I'm
gonna give you a hot meal. I'll pay for it.
Anything you want. And she looks at the menu. He
gives her a menu and she looks at the menu
and she goes, let's see, let's see what did I
(28:59):
have here? Last time? That got me sick? That was
her response. The last time she ate there, she got sick.
She was about to get a free meal from this guy.
And the last time she goes the last time I
hear I got I get really deathly ill. Let me see,
let me see, and he's like, get that hell out
of here. What's wrong with you? And people are unbelievable, the.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Nerves and our employees are calling off just to be
you know, they just want to be a safe at home.
They don't feel in a safe here. We're just wanting
to you know, walling people, help, community, help, just support
us whatever they can ye help us to, you know,
keep that business alive.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Now to other businesses across the street were also targeted
during the same timeframe.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Again, they think it's the same suspect.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
So anyone with any information should contact the La County
Sheriff's Department.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, they'll be right on it. But it's you know,
and what are they going to do until Prop thirty
six kits kicks in. What what can you do? Nothing?
It'll just keep happening over and over and over again.
It sucks, but that's what's going on, all right. This
is Veterans Day where we get an opportunity. The one
day a year should be more, it should be a
(30:04):
month or two months, but the one day a year
where we can honor the veterans and man. Without those
brave young men and women, this country would be nothing,
nothing here. It'd just be lawlessness. It'd be horrible. We
couldn't be doing this here, nothing without these guys and goals.
Speaker 13 (30:26):
Families have come out to say thank you to all
the veterans who have served in our militaries. All love
the chairs lined up, everybody brought lawn cheers out.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You see their umbrellas the parade for the veterans. It's
a great idea.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
They like the nice sunny day out here. We've even
seen some people with the posters saying thank you veterans,
and people saying, you know, they're bringing pictures off their
loved ones because that is who they're honoring, even though
they're no longer with us. And if you look further
down the street, you are seeing them for it's getting
ready to get underway here. We're about tennis out further
down the horses are set up at eleven eleven, and
(31:00):
that's exactly when this parade will get underway. You can
just see so many people lined up and down the streets.
Every year, there's thousands and thousands of people who come
on out here to say again thank you to all
those brave men and women who served our country. Among
them are these individuals we caught up with tikiles.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
In on just because of all what all the veterans did,
and just to think the ones that are still alive
and honor.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
This is how we support our veterans.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
You know, my friends here, my brother and sister that
their dad died of Vietnam veteran you know.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
And I can't tell. I'm puzzled right now. I'm usually
pretty good at identifying, you know, which which one it is,
and I cannot do this. I'm so torn right now
between does this sound exactly like Bellio or Angel? And
I'm usually I can nail it like, oh that that
sounds like Angel, Oh that sounds like Belly here let
(31:53):
me hear all right, I'll play you for it. I
can't tell if it sounds like Angel or Bellio. Here
we go, just because.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Of all what all the veterans dead, and just to
think the ones that are still alive.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
And right there that sounds like Bellio.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
The ones that are still alive.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And that sounds like Bellio right here you.
Speaker 10 (32:11):
Put if you put in, hey, Timmy, that is that
is Angel all day long.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Wait, but the end sounds like angel.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
This is how we support our venance, you know.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
I don't know, just because of all what, all the veterans.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Dead and okay, that sounds like Bellio. Just to think
and that sounds like angel right here, just to.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
Think the ones that are still alive.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And it's a little belly. I don't know that's Angel.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
I don't know, Man, it sounds angel is really I
can hear his belly?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Is that right?
Speaker 10 (32:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Look I think it's great whoever it is. I mean, look,
you're honoring the veterans. I think that's terrific. But man,
is it sound exactly like both of you?
Speaker 8 (32:50):
Just because of all what, all the veterans dead, and
just to think the ones that are still alive, and this.
Speaker 14 (32:58):
Is how we You know, my friends here, my brother
and sister that their dad died of Vietnam veteran you know,
and my father and my god.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Now I can't tell if this is Krozier or Steph.
Who do you think? This sounds like more steps and
more growth.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
This is how we support our veteriness.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You know, that sounds like Krozier.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
My friends here, my brother and sister that yeah, right,
My friends here.
Speaker 14 (33:24):
My brother and sister that their dad died of Vietnam veteran,
you know, and my father and my son are also
a vitrians.
Speaker 9 (33:30):
So we're here at a community to support them.
Speaker 13 (33:33):
And you could see all of the people here. We're
talking of smaller kids, of babies, of older people. The
people that we've spoken with tell us, you know, they
think it's important to make sure that the younger generations
don't just see this as a day off, but a
day to truly honor those people who sacrifice everything for us,
and not just them as in the veterans, but also
their families who stayed behind all they went off and served.
Speaker 2 (33:54):

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
