Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yes, especially Sinclair's spicy tuna. Okay, you like that so good? Yes?
All right, all.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Right, A very a very sad story here in LA.
I'm a big fan of local news. I watch two, four, five, seven,
nine eleven. You used to watch thirteen. I don't think
they do news anymore. And I'm a I'm a big
fan of local news. I tape a lot of them.
I know almost everybody on every station. I could tell
(01:54):
you who's on you know, CBS, NBC, KTLA, you know
a NBCCBS to all run. And I get to meet
some of these people on occasion, and they're like celebrities
to me. You know, when I first met Colleen Williams,
I'm like, wow, that's Colleen Williams from the TV. Fritz
Coleman is another guy, Fred Rogan from Channel four. Jim
(02:16):
Hill used to come on with us all the time.
Paul Majors from Channel two came out with with us
a lot and Bellio. Remember we used to have people
from NBC come on all the time. Yes, And you know,
they'd send a reporter over and we'd be doing a
story they'd also be covering, and we'd have a mutual
agreement that we'd broadcast their story, they broadcast us. It
was a big, great relationship. And then when you got
(02:38):
me and you suspended, that sort of ended me. That
sort of ended, you know. And NBC has not had
anybody on Sense. And I've asked somebody who worked over there, Hey,
you guys allowed to come on? They said, no, we're
not allowed to come on your show. I'm like, oh,
that's rude. That's rude. So they're not allowed to come on.
But I will say this guy is one of the
(03:00):
of the real true fighters. Joel Grover in Los Angeles,
the investigative reporter Joel Grover. If you go to a
restaurant in LA and you see a letter in the window,
a B, C or F, I.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Don't think there's a D. I don't think there's a D.
I think it's a b.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
BELLYO rarely flips me off, but came it here and
gave me the faker. Well look that's how it shook down.
But the A, b C or F I think is
what you get in the window. A is great, b
ah C, I don't know. F run run And he's
(03:42):
responsible for that. He's responsible for that. Joel Grover, you know,
went into restaurants, said they're filthy and made them come
up with a great with a grade rating system that
they passed through downtown at city council. And now if
you live in this city of Los Angeles, you know
it's I don't think it's county.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I think it's city wide.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
If you live in the city of Los Angeles, you
see a grade level on the window outside of a restaurant,
that's Joel Grover.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He did that for you.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He personally, he single handedly cleaned up restaurants cleaned him up.
And now we have you know a lot of people
are not getting food poisoned because of this guy. Joel
Grover and Joe used to come out with us all
the time. And then you know the edic went out saying, hey,
don't goan Conway.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
He's an a hole.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Stay off that show. You know, he's a kryptonite. And
I get it. I get it. You know it's it's cowardly, but.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I get I get it, I get it. All right,
Joe Grover, one of the great guys in television and
local news, is.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Done after twenty two years at NBC four and hundreds
of investigations.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's Colleen Williams talking.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
By the way, I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about this,
so am I not?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Not really?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Tonight we say goodbye to our investigative reporter, Joel Grover.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
His reports have held officials accountable, They've resolved problems for
our viewers, and they've created change in our community.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
You don't need me to tell you Joel is one
of a kind. Here's a look at the incredible impact
he's had on all of us for more than two decades.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Okay, and NBC did this at six twenty eight yesterday,
I believe six twenty eight, six twenty seven, and we
don't do that here. We start off the show with
it where a lot of people are listening because this
guy deserves an adda boy, this guy's great, this Joel Grover.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And maybe now that Bellio.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Maybe now he's out on his out of an NBC
can come on with us and share all the secrets
over there about NBC idea.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, let's have them on. I think Tom, you've got
hundreds of angry customers.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You're running in a legal business. Can we talk to you?
How many of you here think you got ripped off?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I got an idea, Bellio, and maybe you can put
this together. You've got time.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Joel Grover and Goldstein, David Goldstein, you know from CBS.
David Goldstein and Joel Grover from Channel four. They both
did the same kind.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Of thing, investigative reporting. Yeah, do you want to do
like a panel?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think they should do a show outside of us.
Just put them together and let them do it. We
don't know you want me to do that. You gotta
do it. You gotta do it. Okay, you gotta do it.
But is Grover's spell's name with a G or a
J A G G. Oh, that's perfect G and G
Grover and in gold State?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
This is the gold State. Yeah, Goldstein and Grover. You know,
I text Goldstein last night. We're gonna have lunch I
think next week or the week after, and that guy's great.
By the way.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know, some people at CBS said, hey, don't go
on Conway Show anymore after our mishap. Wow, okay, and
and and David Goldstein said, screw it. He's always been
good to me. I'm going on a show. And he
went on in spite of them telling him not to.
How about that? How about that?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
For balls? Now he was fired over, but how about that?
How about that?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Are you creating reviews of people that don't exist?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm sorry, I can't talk to you. Is what you're doing?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Legal?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
He is doggedly determined.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You don't want Joel Grover knocking on your business.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's right. When Joel Grover comes by, you're in trouble
for your door.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
I mean, he is not going to give up.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
A lot of customers say you're scamming them. A lot
of customers say this business is a scam.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Don't don't fighting push well, don't you push me? I
fighting touch you? He shoved us out. When he's fighting people.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
He wasn't afraid to confront somebody in the auto repair
of business, some city official that had done something that
was unseemly or something that was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's right, man. He held their feet to the fire.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I know now why you wear tennis shoes, but you
should have worn body armors about your career.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I did a few times.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
You have a few words, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
I've done a lot of things on camera, chased people
as you saw. I've never cried, but I this might happen.
As I've shared with you. I grew up right down
the street from NBC four. I knew in high school
in Van Eys I wanted to be an investigative reporter,
and now he's dreamed of doing it here at NBC
four and twenty two years ago I got the chance
and it was my dream, and I been living my
(08:00):
dream for twenty two years. It's been amazing and an
honor to work alongside the best in the business and
one of the nicest and great journalists like you, Jonathan.
And I leave here with such gratitude toward my photographers.
There's Scott standing off camera, my bosses, my producers, my
(08:22):
interns who made my dream come true. And I'm really lucky.
I have my wonderful family off camera here in.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
The studio who I live for.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
The one person who's not.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Here, I think he has a new I think he
has a young kid, doesn't he, Joel Grover.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I think he has a young son or a daughter.
He or something about something about him having a kid.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
The one person who's not here in the studio is
my mom, who just turned a hundred.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
She's watching from home.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
She has never missed one of my broadcasts. She is
my number one fan. I've always wanted to say, I
love you, Mom. Thank you for supporting my career like
no one else.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know, Joel, it's been an honor to work work
with you. It's been an honor to watch you work.
And you set the standard. You set the bar for
investigative reporting. And my friend, you will be missed here. Yes,
everybody here at NBC four loves you.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
I'll just glow you a kiss.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Colleen Williams very rarely getting emotional, but getting emotional with
Joe Grover. And this city is less safe now that
Joel Grover has gone. All these restaurants are going to
turn into s holes again. The filth is coming back
because Joel Grover, the chief, the chief of the of
the TV cops has retired.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I wonder what he's gonna do. Belly. Let's try to
get him on. I think I have a text number.
I'm a texting.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, all right, maybe we can call him on the air,
see if you'll come on now that he doesn't have
to live under that stupid NBC rule where they can't
come on with us. Why do you think that is, Belly,
Why do you think that happened? Do you have any idea?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I know we should go to brak Okay, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I am right, all right, it's conn of my show. Uh,
Crozier's not in, but Ronerd's weather. It's what's going on, Ronner.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'd like to hear the story if you if you
feel like sharing, we will, we will. Okay, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The man hunt continues for the murder, the murder of
the CEO of United Healthcare. Oh yes, Brian Thompson, man,
fifty years old, seemingly having it all, making ten million
dollars a year, the CEO of a big, huge company.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Only fifty fifty years old, young man.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And he was gunned down in the streets of New
York City Wednesday morning, day before yesterday. And they're still
looking for this guy. I thought they'd have him by now,
but I guess this guy's pretty elusive. They got great
pictures of him, They've got where he came from. He
took a train up from Atlanta or a plane up
from Atlanta. Traveled from Atlanta New York to knock this
(11:02):
guy off. And I have a feeling they're going to
get this dude pretty soon. I bet they already know
where he is and who he is, and they're just
waiting to make the big arrest. But there's more now,
more details are coming out. Details on the manhunt for
this suspect.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
Found the backpack. It turned up in Central Park, where
the suspect was seen riding a bike tour directly after
that shooting. NYPD used officers and drones to conduct a
grid search. Today. No word yet what was in the
back and while no motive has been officially determined, this
shooting is shining a light on growing frustrations with health
(11:43):
insurance and medical debt. It's the best look yet of
the suspect police say shot and killed United Healthcare CEO
Brian Thompson. The image from a security camera at a
Manhattan hospital. The clerk required to match guests' faces with
their ideas to remove his mask.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Ah, big mistake. He removed the mask. They got a
photo of this guy.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
The moment they had a pretty good facial photo. It
was almost ballgame over.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
The moment in identity is fully established, things move very
quickly towards arrest.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
Investigators say the suspect used a fake name and a
new jersey idea at the hostile But they now have
a smudge fingerprint off a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Uh oh, they got a fingerprint, They got a photo
facial recognition.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
They may have a cell phone. This guy's done in.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
DNA samples from several other pieces of evidence found near
the murder scene. Surveillance video a key part of the investigation.
Police say the suspect waited hours for townsend before coming
up from behind and firing several shots.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
He then fled on a bike.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
This video recorded about fifteen minutes after the shooting, thirty
blocks north.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Without that backpack, MLPD and the FBI have a great
ability to pull together video surveillance and piece it together
moment by moment by moment and follows somebody to any
camera available.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
But even as the manhunt continues, so does the frustration.
American satisfaction with healthcare now at its lowest since the
start of the pandemic. According to a new Gallop poll,
only twenty eight percent of those asks say there a
health insurance coverage is excellent or good.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Twenty eight percent say your health insurance is excellent or good.
Speaker 10 (13:25):
Percent of those as twenty eight percent. And according to
the White House, over forty million Americans oh a total
of around eighty eight billion dollars in medical debt that
are in collections. That's the largest source of debt in collections,
more than credit cards, utilities, and auto loans. Investigators are
looking into those levels of frustration as a possible motivation
(13:46):
for the shooting. Police sources say written on shell casings
found at the murder scene where the words denied, defend,
and depose, similar to the twenty ten book Delayed, Denied, Defend,
Why insurance companies don't pay claims and what you could
do about it.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I think this shooter is trying to send a message
that someone either himself or a loved one or someone
close to him, has been harmed by this insurance company.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's what it sounds like. It sounds like somebody got
hosed on a claim.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
Authorities believe the suspect is no longer in New York City.
Surveillance video shows him at a bus station after the shooting,
where investigators suspects he boarded a bus since he was
not seen leaving that facility.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, and DNA, they're going to find somebody like a
relative of his. You know, there's those DNA services. I
don't know, I think like twenty three and meters. I
don't know what some of the other ones are called.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But you, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You spit or you put your blood into a vial
and you send it in and they do a DNA
you know, background check and historical check and find out
what your heritage is, where you came from, where your
parents are from, your grandparents. But what that also does
is it allows the FBI and local cops to get
pretty close to a match. That's why I got a
(15:10):
call when that twenty three in me first started. I
got a call from two, not one, two of my
uncles saying, hey, please don't do the twenty three in me.
Let us check out here before you do that. And
I'm like, wow, I wonder what these guys are hiding.
You know, have you done that angel the the DNA background?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I have, Yes, really I have. What did it turn up?
You w what do you part the Italian?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
No, I'm.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Half Iberian and almost half Iberian, which is a peninsula
off of Spain.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The other half like Norwegian? Yeah? Crazy pretty much? Yeah?
Or the other half is Norwegian? Yeah, all right, I'd
like to do that now.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
One of my uncles who asked me not to do
that is dead, and the other one is I'm I'm
pretty not doing so great. But he didn't want me
to do those tests, and he asked me to ask
my brothers and sister not to do them either, because
they could get pretty close with DNA. And I don't
know what he was hiding. I didn't want to ask him.
But you know, I've had some rough uncles in my past.
(16:25):
You know, I had my grandfather owed. Well, when I
come back, I'm gonna i'll tell you the story. But
my grandfather had to leave the United States because he
committed a crime and he never came back to the
United States. This is my mom's father. My mom's father
committed a crime and left the United States so we
(16:47):
wouldn't be prosecuted and never came back to this country.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Again.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's not too far. My grandfather, my mom's dad. This
is not Wyatt Earth, this is not ten generations ago,
this is next door.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
This is I know this. I knew this guy for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I think I was fourteen or fifteen when he passed away,
and I heard stories and stories and stories about this guy.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'll tell you the criminal side of my family. Pretty long,
but interesting. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Let's talk to Elex first, and I'll tell you the
story of my grandfather. My grandfather owed back in the forties, fifties,
maybe early late fifties. He owed the IRS twenty eight
thousand dollars, and back then that was a lot of money.
An IRS agent came to the door, knocked out the
door and said, yo, it's twenty eight grand and my uncle,
(17:45):
my grandfather, said okay, let me go get it.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I got it in cash.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
He goes back in the room, he comes out of
a baseball bat and nearly kills the IRS agent. And
he was living in Detroit at the time, and so
the IRS agent was taking the hospital. They didn't know
he's an IO r S agent at the time, and
they knew the cops were going to be on their
way pretty quickly. So he packed up just what he
had on, threw some clothes into a suitcase, drove across
(18:11):
the Windsor, Ontario, and never came back to the United States.
But back then, Canada didn't have any extradition with the
United States, so he lived the rest of his life
in the United States because he couldn't behave.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
He couldn't behave And.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I always thought he's from Canada, like, oh, my uncle,
he's my grandfather. He's a Canadians, always a living in Canady.
He's always in Canada. He had to stay in Canada
because if he came back to the United States, he'd
be in prisoned for the rest of his life. And look,
I'm trying to break that criminal behavior with my generation,
and it's hard. I come from a criminal background. I
come from criminals, and to try to break it, it's
(18:48):
very difficult. And you know, every day I've got to
make sure that I don't go down that route. It's
very hard, but I'm trying. But anyway, I got some
more stories here. But first let's check in with Alex.
Michael send kind enough to send Sam down. Uh, Sam Duban, I.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Believe it is by Alex. You're on KFI. How are you?
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Bob Good? And your grandfather really gave that I R
s agent a ding dong.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You know I confirmed that story with some other uncles
and my mom, and they said it was such a
horrible time in their life because their dad, uh, you know,
grew up. I was born, up born and raised and
grew up in Detroit all of a sudden had to
move to Windsor and spend the rest of his life
in Canada.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Wow. Crazy, he not coming for the for the wedding
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
But do you have any got a good, good way
to get out of everything? You know?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I bet if you scratch, I bet if you go
you know, I think most Americans, if you go back three,
four or five generations, either knew somebody or they were
criminals themselves. Yeah, either running you know, running numbers and
bayone or or you know, finding stuff that fell off trucks.
You know, there was a lot of crime back then.
It's uh, it's not as bad as it was back then.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
All right, Alex.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
By the way, thanks for sending Sam down to the
White House.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That was great.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Yeah, we had a lot of fun with people that
weren't watching. On the other day, when when Conway and
all the folks in KFI did that incredible fundraiser for
Katarina's Club, we had a live talkback in the six
o'clock News. The best part of it when when you
were making the argument that everybody was out there to
celebrate the pardoning of Hunter Biden. It really was very newsworthy.
(20:32):
The fact that you found this unique group of people
in Orange County that are really pro Hunter. That's right,
and it was amazing to witness that live on Box eleven.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, you know what, we just the the the charity
event is just a ruise for the party we had
for Hunter Biden.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
It's amazing Hunter didn't show up.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That would have really been great.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Hey, so are you every time? Now I didn't have
to worry about any of any of the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I know, you guys are following this horrible story out
of with this Brian Thompson in New York City. This
is a wild story.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Yeah, and apparently they just found a backpack the last
in Central Park, So I don't know what the deal
is with that. It is a reminder though, of how
you know, personal people take healthcare issues and how much
frustration there is with healthcare companies. But it'll be interesting
to know the real backstory of that. But kind of
amazing that this person has been able to evade authorities
(21:34):
this long.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, it is wild. Hey, logo, there's a big local
news story. Your your buddy Joel Grover retired.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Oh I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah, you think about
Joel and what an impact is that. I mean, that's
that kind of gets a testament to the real power
of investigative reporting. You think about those letters when you
go into a restaurant because of Joel and what he
did on so many different stories and kind of an
old school reporter who was given a lot of time
(22:05):
and money and had a whole team behind them and
really you know, did ten to fifteen minute stories and
changed policy as the state and we need more people
like that, and the industry kind of goes in the
opposite direction. But you know what, I think more dolinated
to study Joel.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I don't think we are getting more of those people.
I think Eric Leonard does it over at NBC. We
used to have David Goldstein at CBS and Joel Grover
at NBC, but I think those people are going.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Away well because the incentive for the companies is to
go away from that's the that's the bad part because
that kind of journalism, just like really good newspaper investigations,
is expensive, time consuming, and its off a lot of
that and it pisses people off and it potentially could
get you sued. And so it's what's a lot easier
(22:54):
is to run a high speed chase a crime.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, or met three Dodgers too, you know, just keep
doing other sports. Hey, So what's on the big show tonight,
don On the issue is what's going on.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
We are doing real journalism and talking about real issues.
That's what we try to do. On the issue is
we've got the mayor of San Jose is Matt Mahan,
who is a Democrat but who's very frustrated with the
way that the Democratic Party is acting. He was the
first Democratic mayor to be in favor of Prop thirty six,
the effort to reform Prop forty seven, which passed with
(23:28):
seventy percent of the vote, and now he's frustrated with
some of what's happening with the oil refineries and the
moves that the Democrats are making. He comes on to
talk about a different approach, why doing a special session
against Trump is maybe not the best use of time.
Maybe you should do that special session about housing or homelessness,
(23:49):
education or other issues that people care about more. It's
really interesting to hear from him. That's some newsworthy comments.
We also talked to Michael Knowles, the conservative commentator from
the Daily News Wire, who's really interesting in his take
on where the presidential race was. He thinks that Governor
Newson would actually be the strongest Democrat. And we have
this really nice story that I'm really proud of that
(24:10):
we worked on with the La Rams. They have My Cause,
My Cleats campaign this weekend where the players are going
to be wearing cleats for different nonprofits. And this story
of Als and this coach for the Rams who had
a former player who's now battling ALS, and the way
the whole team is getting behind him is really moving.
(24:30):
A lot of the guys were in tears talking about it,
and I hope people check it out. I found it
really inspiring.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That's really cool tonight at ten thirty on the issue.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
Is that's right?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's great, buddy.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Hey, what was the kid's name that you sent down
to the White House? I want to give him a
special stout? Is it Sam Dubin?
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Sam Dubin, you got it right? One of our photographers
an incredible cyclist too, like a near professional level cyclist.
When we did the the Malibu Triathlon, he was the
cyclist on our team. Uh, he's a He is a
giant stud and a fantastic photographer.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Do you are you a triathlete?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
I just did the I just did the running. I
haven't done I haven't done the biking and swimming. Are
you have you ever done it? No?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I didn't know you're a runner?
Speaker 8 (25:18):
I mean I run. I don't know if I would
call myself a runner.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You know, you know the only reason people run marathons?
What's that to tell other people they run marathons?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
It's kind of horrible. I did a half marathon once
and at the end they put the metal on you
and they're like, are you ready for a phone? And
I said, no, would I want to do double?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
But every I got a couple of friends who run marathons.
That's all they tell me is how they're running marathons.
I could care less.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Yeah, and they and then they're how how hurt they
are afterwards and all the stuff and everything coming out
of them.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But but they every everybody I know that runs marathons,
they all think they're better than everybody else and they're not.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Well, they get their runners high and then that's all
they need.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, but you can smoke and drink and get that
same runners high from a flight of stairs.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
That's all you need to do. That's right, much cheaper.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Bundy, I appreciate coming on. It was so nice of you,
was it, Lordas? I couldn't see on the video who
else who you were with that night.
Speaker 8 (26:22):

he goes Alex Michaelson. That guy has always been very supportive.
Bellio loves that guy. Elex Michaelson. The issue is tonight
ten thirty go look at that, So somebody does.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We have a horrible story coming on newbury Park.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Newbury Park is a beautiful part of Los Angeles and
for people that don't know where it is or no
idea where it is, it's it's really sort of a
close kept secret newbury Park. It's out there near Simney
Valley and one of the great cool areas to live in,
(28:19):
and it's it's just a cool area, cool ad But
off the one oh one there where the twenty three is,
you have that whole area. What is that that farm
out there? There's a farm out there where all these
kids go to in that Newberry Park area.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Can remember what the name of that farm is. But
this is right off the one o one before you
go down to camer Rio, and it is a sensational
area to live in. The The Thousand Oaks mall is
out there, is.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
It the Underwood Family Farms Underwood, Yes, yes, yes, yes, Underwood.
It's just north of Newbury Park. You got a big
beautiful mall out there in newbury Park and it is
a really beautiful, safe place to live. However, there's been
a couple of problems there lately, and here is one
(29:12):
of them. There's a brother stabs another brother to death,
to death.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
That fifteen year old boy was killed in the house
here behind us on Jeanie Court here in Newbury Park.
Just last night, a twenty four year old man has
been arrested on murder chargers. And today we learn from
the family that the two were brothers, and you mentioned
that bizarre twist. Today we also learned that the twenty
four year old suspect in this case, his father, was
convicted of murdering a child back in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Right, So the dad is in jail without the possibility
of parole. He's going to be soon joined by his son.
He has one son who was killed and the other
son evidently allegedly killed the other son. So there hasn't
been a a lot of movement in growing from dad
(30:03):
down to sun here.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
As the Ventura County Sheriff's Department investigates the killing of
a fifteen.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Year old boy in Newberry Park Thursday night, the department
says they've booked twenty four year old Zewberry Sharp on
murder charges. Officials see the killing happened at this home
on Jeanie Cord around eight o'clock, and that the arrested
Sharp a short time later less than a mile away
at Newberry Park High School.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, he was at the high school, evidently in the
middle of the football field, completely nude, naked in the
middle of the field. So something's going on with this family.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
He was found running around naked. The school was placed
on a temporary lockdown as families were there late attending
a recital.
Speaker 12 (30:41):
We were in the performance and all of a sudden,
they just said there's going to be a delay in
the performance.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Because the people who live in Newbury Park hate this
crap they do. The reason why they moved out there,
the Newbury Park, the reason why they spend a lot
of money on a home, the reason why the lot
of tacks, the reason why they what they're you know,
they fight with traffic every day to get to work,
(31:07):
every day to get home from work, is because they
want a safe neighborhood for their kids.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
That's the motto.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You ask anybody Newberry Park, and I'd say ninety percent
of them say, Hey, why do you live in Newberry Park?
Because it's safe for my kids. I think they'll say
that almost verbatim. It's safe for my kids. That's why
they move out there. They hate this kind of crap.
Speaker 12 (31:29):
We were in the performance and all of a sudden,
they just said there's going to be a delay in
the performance because they're on the lockdown. And at that time,
we all we thought that there was just a streaker
in the in the campus.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's what we thought at first.
Speaker 12 (31:40):
We didn't hear until afterwards everything that was going down.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We were scared. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's very
nerve wracking. Investigators sho, did you hear that? Yeah, I
mean it's it's it's very nerve wracking.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
It's very nerve wracking. These people are out there because
they want safe place.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
To raise their kids.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Investigators say the fifteen years who has not been identified,
was found suffering from blunt force trauma. He was taken
to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. A
family member tells NBC four that Sharp and the teenager
were brothers. The Ventura County District Attorney's office also confirming
that Sharp's father is Calvin Sharp, who was convicted of
murdering six year old seven Molina your Thousand Oaks in
(32:20):
two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Okay, so that happened in Thousand Oaks as well, and
then they stayed in that area. They stayed in the
Thousand Oaks newbury Park area. Wow wow Wow.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
The elder Sharp had tried to plead insanity, but was
later found to be legally sane. He was sentenced to
life in prison without parole. The family member we spoke
with today says Zooberry Sharp has a history of mental illness,
but it's too early to determine what led up to
the murder. Officials have not said how the teenager was killed.
Zooberry Sharp is in custody again. He's being held without bail,
(32:53):
who's expected to make his first court appearance sometime next week.
We did reach out to the Canejo Valley School District
to determine whether the fifteen year old who was killed
was a student with them. We have yet to hear back.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You know, when I was I was growing up in
the San Fernando Valley, born and raised in the valley flat. Well,
I shouldn't say that. My mom and dad had a
house in Tarzana up in the hills. And then when
they had six kids, they realized they're not going to
be driving their kids everywhere all the time, so they
bought a house in the flats so we can ride
bikes around and.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Be a little more independent.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
And you know, when you live up in the hills,
mom and dad have to drive you everywhere you go
until you're seventeen or eighteen, until you get your license everywhere. Yeah,
you know, you can't really go out on your bike
and ride around because you live up on a steep hill.
And so if you have a bunch of kids like
we did in our family, six kids, you got to
move somewhere in the flatlands, and that's what we did.
(33:48):
But when I was growing up, when we would drive
from the San Fernando Valley, my dad liked to go
up to Oxnard in Ventura just to hang out.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
It was off.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
It was like twenty or thirty degrees cooler up there
in the summer. If it was one hundred ten in
Tarzana where we used to live, it was probably eighty
degrees in Ventura and Oxnard.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So we'd go out in that area.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And the only thing out there when I was growing
up was a place called Wendy Drive, and there was
a Wendy's right there on the corner of Wendy Drive,
and I think that's why they call that Wendy Drive.
That was the only thing out there. There was one
exit before you go down the path and into Oxnard
and Ventura. None of these homes were there, None of
(34:29):
the homes that you see out there right now off
of Wendy Drive, off of you know.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
There's odd streets out there.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Kitty Street is out there, Debbie Street is out there,
Shirley Drive, it's a Denise Drive. I think they just
named the drives and the streets after their kids. But
there's Dana Drive. All the streets out there in the
area just north of Wendy Drive, they're all named after kids.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
There's Gloria Drive, there's.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Lynn Drive, Carry Drive, Melvin Drive, I have Lesser Drive,
and all those homes there were built after nineteen seventy,
probably in the early seventies, the mid seventies. But there's
it's a beautiful, beautifully planned neighborhood. Newbury Park. You got
(35:17):
great schools there, you got performing arts center there, you
got the Newbury Park High School, the big pool area,
the grounds there, the football field is immaculate, The baseball
field is great. And that Newbury Park High School is
surrounded by single family homes and all those kids went
(35:38):
to Newbury Park High School. They I think Alex Michaelson
is from out there, and so all those kids went
to that school. And that's back when you can buy
a house for a couple hundred grand, maybe one hundred
and fifty two hundred thousand dollars, and your kids could
go to public school and it was a great public school.
That Newbury Public School is terrific. A lot of families
(35:59):
go out there because they love the school, they love
the neighborhood, they love there's other families around. It's pretty
tight quarters. You don't get a lot of property in
the homes out there in Newberry Park. But again, the
reason why they moved out there is safety, and now
that has been crushed at least for last night. Conway

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Right, A very a very sad story here in LA.
I'm a big fan of local news. I watch two, four, five, seven,
nine eleven. You used to watch thirteen. I don't think
they do news anymore. And I'm a I'm a big
fan of local news. I tape a lot of them.
I know almost everybody on every station. I could tell
(01:54):
you who's on you know, CBS, NBC, KTLA, you know
a NBCCBS to all run. And I get to meet
some of these people on occasion, and they're like celebrities
to me. You know, when I first met Colleen Williams,
I'm like, wow, that's Colleen Williams from the TV. Fritz
Coleman is another guy, Fred Rogan from Channel four. Jim
(02:16):
Hill used to come on with us all the time.
Paul Majors from Channel two came out with with us
a lot and Bellio. Remember we used to have people
from NBC come on all the time. Yes, And you know,
they'd send a reporter over and we'd be doing a
story they'd also be covering, and we'd have a mutual
agreement that we'd broadcast their story, they broadcast us. It
was a big, great relationship. And then when you got
(02:38):
me and you suspended, that sort of ended me. That
sort of ended, you know. And NBC has not had
anybody on Sense. And I've asked somebody who worked over there, Hey,
you guys allowed to come on? They said, no, we're
not allowed to come on your show. I'm like, oh,
that's rude. That's rude. So they're not allowed to come on.
But I will say this guy is one of the
(03:00):
of the real true fighters. Joel Grover in Los Angeles,
the investigative reporter Joel Grover. If you go to a
restaurant in LA and you see a letter in the window,
a B, C or F, I.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Don't think there's a D. I don't think there's a D.
I think it's a b.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
BELLYO rarely flips me off, but came it here and
gave me the faker. Well look that's how it shook down.
But the A, b C or F I think is
what you get in the window. A is great, b
ah C, I don't know. F run run And he's
(03:42):
responsible for that. He's responsible for that. Joel Grover, you know,
went into restaurants, said they're filthy and made them come
up with a great with a grade rating system that
they passed through downtown at city council. And now if
you live in this city of Los Angeles, you know
it's I don't think it's county.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I think it's city wide.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
If you live in the city of Los Angeles, you
see a grade level on the window outside of a restaurant,
that's Joel Grover.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He did that for you.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He personally, he single handedly cleaned up restaurants cleaned him up.
And now we have you know a lot of people
are not getting food poisoned because of this guy. Joel
Grover and Joe used to come out with us all
the time. And then you know the edic went out saying, hey,
don't goan Conway.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
He's an a hole.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Stay off that show. You know, he's a kryptonite. And
I get it. I get it. You know it's it's cowardly, but.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I get I get it, I get it. All right,
Joe Grover, one of the great guys in television and
local news, is.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Done after twenty two years at NBC four and hundreds
of investigations.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's Colleen Williams talking.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
By the way, I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about this,
so am I not?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Not really?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Tonight we say goodbye to our investigative reporter, Joel Grover.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
His reports have held officials accountable, They've resolved problems for
our viewers, and they've created change in our community.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
You don't need me to tell you Joel is one
of a kind. Here's a look at the incredible impact
he's had on all of us for more than two decades.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Okay, and NBC did this at six twenty eight yesterday,
I believe six twenty eight, six twenty seven, and we
don't do that here. We start off the show with
it where a lot of people are listening because this
guy deserves an adda boy, this guy's great, this Joel Grover.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And maybe now that Bellio.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Maybe now he's out on his out of an NBC
can come on with us and share all the secrets
over there about NBC idea.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, let's have them on. I think Tom, you've got
hundreds of angry customers.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You're running in a legal business. Can we talk to you?
How many of you here think you got ripped off?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I got an idea, Bellio, and maybe you can put
this together. You've got time.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Joel Grover and Goldstein, David Goldstein, you know from CBS.
David Goldstein and Joel Grover from Channel four. They both
did the same kind.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Of thing, investigative reporting. Yeah, do you want to do
like a panel?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think they should do a show outside of us.
Just put them together and let them do it. We
don't know you want me to do that. You gotta
do it. You gotta do it. Okay, you gotta do it.
But is Grover's spell's name with a G or a
J A G G. Oh, that's perfect G and G
Grover and in gold State?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
This is the gold State. Yeah, Goldstein and Grover. You know,
I text Goldstein last night. We're gonna have lunch I
think next week or the week after, and that guy's great.
By the way.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know, some people at CBS said, hey, don't go
on Conway Show anymore after our mishap. Wow, okay, and
and and David Goldstein said, screw it. He's always been
good to me. I'm going on a show. And he
went on in spite of them telling him not to.
How about that? How about that?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
For balls? Now he was fired over, but how about that?
How about that?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Are you creating reviews of people that don't exist?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm sorry, I can't talk to you. Is what you're doing?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Legal?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
He is doggedly determined.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You don't want Joel Grover knocking on your business.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's right. When Joel Grover comes by, you're in trouble
for your door.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
I mean, he is not going to give up.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
A lot of customers say you're scamming them. A lot
of customers say this business is a scam.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Don't don't fighting push well, don't you push me? I
fighting touch you? He shoved us out. When he's fighting people.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
He wasn't afraid to confront somebody in the auto repair
of business, some city official that had done something that
was unseemly or something that was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's right, man. He held their feet to the fire.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I know now why you wear tennis shoes, but you
should have worn body armors about your career.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I did a few times.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
You have a few words, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
I've done a lot of things on camera, chased people
as you saw. I've never cried, but I this might happen.
As I've shared with you. I grew up right down
the street from NBC four. I knew in high school
in Van Eys I wanted to be an investigative reporter,
and now he's dreamed of doing it here at NBC
four and twenty two years ago I got the chance
and it was my dream, and I been living my
(08:00):
dream for twenty two years. It's been amazing and an
honor to work alongside the best in the business and
one of the nicest and great journalists like you, Jonathan.
And I leave here with such gratitude toward my photographers.
There's Scott standing off camera, my bosses, my producers, my
(08:22):
interns who made my dream come true. And I'm really lucky.
I have my wonderful family off camera here in.
Speaker 2 (08:29):

The one person who's not.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Here, I think he has a new I think he
has a young kid, doesn't he, Joel Grover.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I think he has a young son or a daughter.
He or something about something about him having a kid.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
The one person who's not here in the studio is
my mom, who just turned a hundred.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
She's watching from home.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
She has never missed one of my broadcasts. She is
my number one fan. I've always wanted to say, I
love you, Mom. Thank you for supporting my career like
no one else.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know, Joel, it's been an honor to work work
with you. It's been an honor to watch you work.
And you set the standard. You set the bar for
investigative reporting. And my friend, you will be missed here. Yes,
everybody here at NBC four loves you.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
I'll just glow you a kiss.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Colleen Williams very rarely getting emotional, but getting emotional with
Joe Grover. And this city is less safe now that
Joel Grover has gone. All these restaurants are going to
turn into s holes again. The filth is coming back
because Joel Grover, the chief, the chief of the of
the TV cops has retired.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I wonder what he's gonna do. Belly. Let's try to
get him on. I think I have a text number.
I'm a texting.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, all right, maybe we can call him on the air,
see if you'll come on now that he doesn't have
to live under that stupid NBC rule where they can't
come on with us. Why do you think that is, Belly,
Why do you think that happened? Do you have any idea?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I know we should go to brak Okay, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I am right, all right, it's conn of my show. Uh,
Crozier's not in, but Ronerd's weather. It's what's going on, Ronner.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'd like to hear the story if you if you
feel like sharing, we will, we will. Okay, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The man hunt continues for the murder, the murder of
the CEO of United Healthcare. Oh yes, Brian Thompson, man,
fifty years old, seemingly having it all, making ten million
dollars a year, the CEO of a big, huge company.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Only fifty fifty years old, young man.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And he was gunned down in the streets of New
York City Wednesday morning, day before yesterday. And they're still
looking for this guy. I thought they'd have him by now,
but I guess this guy's pretty elusive. They got great
pictures of him, They've got where he came from. He
took a train up from Atlanta or a plane up
from Atlanta. Traveled from Atlanta New York to knock this
(11:02):
guy off. And I have a feeling they're going to
get this dude pretty soon. I bet they already know
where he is and who he is, and they're just
waiting to make the big arrest. But there's more now,
more details are coming out. Details on the manhunt for
this suspect.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
Found the backpack. It turned up in Central Park, where
the suspect was seen riding a bike tour directly after
that shooting. NYPD used officers and drones to conduct a
grid search. Today. No word yet what was in the
back and while no motive has been officially determined, this
shooting is shining a light on growing frustrations with health
(11:43):
insurance and medical debt. It's the best look yet of
the suspect police say shot and killed United Healthcare CEO
Brian Thompson. The image from a security camera at a
Manhattan hospital. The clerk required to match guests' faces with
their ideas to remove his mask.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Ah, big mistake. He removed the mask. They got a
photo of this guy.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
The moment they had a pretty good facial photo. It
was almost ballgame over.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
The moment in identity is fully established, things move very
quickly towards arrest.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
Investigators say the suspect used a fake name and a
new jersey idea at the hostile But they now have
a smudge fingerprint off a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Uh oh, they got a fingerprint, They got a photo
facial recognition.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
They may have a cell phone. This guy's done in.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
DNA samples from several other pieces of evidence found near
the murder scene. Surveillance video a key part of the investigation.
Police say the suspect waited hours for townsend before coming
up from behind and firing several shots.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
He then fled on a bike.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
This video recorded about fifteen minutes after the shooting, thirty
blocks north.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Without that backpack, MLPD and the FBI have a great
ability to pull together video surveillance and piece it together
moment by moment by moment and follows somebody to any
camera available.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
But even as the manhunt continues, so does the frustration.
American satisfaction with healthcare now at its lowest since the
start of the pandemic. According to a new Gallop poll,
only twenty eight percent of those asks say there a
health insurance coverage is excellent or good.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Twenty eight percent say your health insurance is excellent or good.
Speaker 10 (13:25):
Percent of those as twenty eight percent. And according to
the White House, over forty million Americans oh a total
of around eighty eight billion dollars in medical debt that
are in collections. That's the largest source of debt in collections,
more than credit cards, utilities, and auto loans. Investigators are
looking into those levels of frustration as a possible motivation
(13:46):
for the shooting. Police sources say written on shell casings
found at the murder scene where the words denied, defend,
and depose, similar to the twenty ten book Delayed, Denied, Defend,
Why insurance companies don't pay claims and what you could
do about it.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I think this shooter is trying to send a message
that someone either himself or a loved one or someone
close to him, has been harmed by this insurance company.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's what it sounds like. It sounds like somebody got
hosed on a claim.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
Authorities believe the suspect is no longer in New York City.
Surveillance video shows him at a bus station after the shooting,
where investigators suspects he boarded a bus since he was
not seen leaving that facility.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, and DNA, they're going to find somebody like a
relative of his. You know, there's those DNA services. I
don't know, I think like twenty three and meters. I
don't know what some of the other ones are called.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But you, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You spit or you put your blood into a vial
and you send it in and they do a DNA
you know, background check and historical check and find out
what your heritage is, where you came from, where your
parents are from, your grandparents. But what that also does
is it allows the FBI and local cops to get
pretty close to a match. That's why I got a
(15:10):
call when that twenty three in me first started. I
got a call from two, not one, two of my
uncles saying, hey, please don't do the twenty three in me.
Let us check out here before you do that. And
I'm like, wow, I wonder what these guys are hiding.
You know, have you done that angel the the DNA background?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I have, Yes, really I have. What did it turn up?
You w what do you part the Italian?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
No, I'm.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Half Iberian and almost half Iberian, which is a peninsula
off of Spain.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The other half like Norwegian? Yeah? Crazy pretty much? Yeah?
Or the other half is Norwegian? Yeah, all right, I'd
like to do that now.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
One of my uncles who asked me not to do
that is dead, and the other one is I'm I'm
pretty not doing so great. But he didn't want me
to do those tests, and he asked me to ask
my brothers and sister not to do them either, because
they could get pretty close with DNA. And I don't
know what he was hiding. I didn't want to ask him.
But you know, I've had some rough uncles in my past.
(16:25):
You know, I had my grandfather owed. Well, when I
come back, I'm gonna i'll tell you the story. But
my grandfather had to leave the United States because he
committed a crime and he never came back to the
United States. This is my mom's father. My mom's father
committed a crime and left the United States so we
(16:47):
wouldn't be prosecuted and never came back to this country.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Again.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's not too far. My grandfather, my mom's dad. This
is not Wyatt Earth, this is not ten generations ago,
this is next door.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
This is I know this. I knew this guy for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I think I was fourteen or fifteen when he passed away,
and I heard stories and stories and stories about this guy.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'll tell you the criminal side of my family. Pretty long,
but interesting. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Let's talk to Elex first, and I'll tell you the
story of my grandfather. My grandfather owed back in the forties, fifties,
maybe early late fifties. He owed the IRS twenty eight
thousand dollars, and back then that was a lot of money.
An IRS agent came to the door, knocked out the
door and said, yo, it's twenty eight grand and my uncle,
(17:45):
my grandfather, said okay, let me go get it.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I got it in cash.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
He goes back in the room, he comes out of
a baseball bat and nearly kills the IRS agent. And
he was living in Detroit at the time, and so
the IRS agent was taking the hospital. They didn't know
he's an IO r S agent at the time, and
they knew the cops were going to be on their
way pretty quickly. So he packed up just what he
had on, threw some clothes into a suitcase, drove across
(18:11):
the Windsor, Ontario, and never came back to the United States.
But back then, Canada didn't have any extradition with the
United States, so he lived the rest of his life
in the United States because he couldn't behave.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
He couldn't behave And.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I always thought he's from Canada, like, oh, my uncle,
he's my grandfather. He's a Canadians, always a living in Canady.
He's always in Canada. He had to stay in Canada
because if he came back to the United States, he'd
be in prisoned for the rest of his life. And look,
I'm trying to break that criminal behavior with my generation,
and it's hard. I come from a criminal background. I
come from criminals, and to try to break it, it's
(18:48):
very difficult. And you know, every day I've got to
make sure that I don't go down that route. It's
very hard, but I'm trying. But anyway, I got some
more stories here. But first let's check in with Alex.
Michael send kind enough to send Sam down. Uh, Sam Duban, I.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Believe it is by Alex. You're on KFI. How are you?
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Bob Good? And your grandfather really gave that I R
s agent a ding dong.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You know I confirmed that story with some other uncles
and my mom, and they said it was such a
horrible time in their life because their dad, uh, you know,
grew up. I was born, up born and raised and
grew up in Detroit all of a sudden had to
move to Windsor and spend the rest of his life
in Canada.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Wow. Crazy, he not coming for the for the wedding
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
But do you have any got a good, good way
to get out of everything? You know?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I bet if you scratch, I bet if you go
you know, I think most Americans, if you go back three,
four or five generations, either knew somebody or they were
criminals themselves. Yeah, either running you know, running numbers and
bayone or or you know, finding stuff that fell off trucks.
You know, there was a lot of crime back then.
It's uh, it's not as bad as it was back then.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
All right, Alex.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
By the way, thanks for sending Sam down to the
White House.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That was great.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Yeah, we had a lot of fun with people that
weren't watching. On the other day, when when Conway and
all the folks in KFI did that incredible fundraiser for
Katarina's Club, we had a live talkback in the six
o'clock News. The best part of it when when you
were making the argument that everybody was out there to
celebrate the pardoning of Hunter Biden. It really was very newsworthy.
(20:32):
The fact that you found this unique group of people
in Orange County that are really pro Hunter. That's right,
and it was amazing to witness that live on Box eleven.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, you know what, we just the the the charity
event is just a ruise for the party we had
for Hunter Biden.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
It's amazing Hunter didn't show up.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That would have really been great.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Hey, so are you every time? Now I didn't have
to worry about any of any of the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I know, you guys are following this horrible story out
of with this Brian Thompson in New York City. This
is a wild story.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Yeah, and apparently they just found a backpack the last
in Central Park, So I don't know what the deal
is with that. It is a reminder though, of how
you know, personal people take healthcare issues and how much
frustration there is with healthcare companies. But it'll be interesting
to know the real backstory of that. But kind of
amazing that this person has been able to evade authorities
(21:34):
this long.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, it is wild. Hey, logo, there's a big local
news story. Your your buddy Joel Grover retired.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Oh I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah, you think about
Joel and what an impact is that. I mean, that's
that kind of gets a testament to the real power
of investigative reporting. You think about those letters when you
go into a restaurant because of Joel and what he
did on so many different stories and kind of an
old school reporter who was given a lot of time
(22:05):
and money and had a whole team behind them and
really you know, did ten to fifteen minute stories and
changed policy as the state and we need more people
like that, and the industry kind of goes in the
opposite direction. But you know what, I think more dolinated
to study Joel.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I don't think we are getting more of those people.
I think Eric Leonard does it over at NBC. We
used to have David Goldstein at CBS and Joel Grover
at NBC, but I think those people are going.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Away well because the incentive for the companies is to
go away from that's the that's the bad part because
that kind of journalism, just like really good newspaper investigations,
is expensive, time consuming, and its off a lot of
that and it pisses people off and it potentially could
get you sued. And so it's what's a lot easier
(22:54):
is to run a high speed chase a crime.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, or met three Dodgers too, you know, just keep
doing other sports. Hey, So what's on the big show tonight,
don On the issue is what's going on.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
We are doing real journalism and talking about real issues.
That's what we try to do. On the issue is
we've got the mayor of San Jose is Matt Mahan,
who is a Democrat but who's very frustrated with the
way that the Democratic Party is acting. He was the
first Democratic mayor to be in favor of Prop thirty six,
the effort to reform Prop forty seven, which passed with
(23:28):
seventy percent of the vote, and now he's frustrated with
some of what's happening with the oil refineries and the
moves that the Democrats are making. He comes on to
talk about a different approach, why doing a special session
against Trump is maybe not the best use of time.
Maybe you should do that special session about housing or homelessness,
(23:49):
education or other issues that people care about more. It's
really interesting to hear from him. That's some newsworthy comments.
We also talked to Michael Knowles, the conservative commentator from
the Daily News Wire, who's really interesting in his take
on where the presidential race was. He thinks that Governor
Newson would actually be the strongest Democrat. And we have
this really nice story that I'm really proud of that
(24:10):
we worked on with the La Rams. They have My Cause,
My Cleats campaign this weekend where the players are going
to be wearing cleats for different nonprofits. And this story
of Als and this coach for the Rams who had
a former player who's now battling ALS, and the way
the whole team is getting behind him is really moving.
(24:30):
A lot of the guys were in tears talking about it,
and I hope people check it out. I found it
really inspiring.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That's really cool tonight at ten thirty on the issue.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
Is that's right?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's great, buddy.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Hey, what was the kid's name that you sent down
to the White House? I want to give him a
special stout? Is it Sam Dubin?
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Sam Dubin, you got it right? One of our photographers
an incredible cyclist too, like a near professional level cyclist.
When we did the the Malibu Triathlon, he was the
cyclist on our team. Uh, he's a He is a
giant stud and a fantastic photographer.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Do you are you a triathlete?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
I just did the I just did the running. I
haven't done I haven't done the biking and swimming. Are
you have you ever done it? No?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I didn't know you're a runner?
Speaker 8 (25:18):
I mean I run. I don't know if I would
call myself a runner.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You know, you know the only reason people run marathons?
What's that to tell other people they run marathons?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
It's kind of horrible. I did a half marathon once
and at the end they put the metal on you
and they're like, are you ready for a phone? And
I said, no, would I want to do double?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
But every I got a couple of friends who run marathons.
That's all they tell me is how they're running marathons.
I could care less.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Yeah, and they and then they're how how hurt they
are afterwards and all the stuff and everything coming out
of them.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But but they every everybody I know that runs marathons,
they all think they're better than everybody else and they're not.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Well, they get their runners high and then that's all
they need.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, but you can smoke and drink and get that
same runners high from a flight of stairs.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
That's all you need to do. That's right, much cheaper.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Bundy, I appreciate coming on. It was so nice of you,
was it, Lordas? I couldn't see on the video who
else who you were with that night.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
I was with mar marlat anchors that kicks the clock
with me. But then later that night my colleague Gloridia
came out to Anaheim and interviewed Chef Bruno and did
a piece for our ten o'clock news on the KFI efforts,
and you showed some of you and O'Kelly and all
the rest of it. So please, you're grateful to be
able to do that.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Please apologize to Marlowe. I couldn't see the video I
couldn't tell who was by her voice, but I love her.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Yeah, she's fantastic and she loves you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
She's one of the best in the business.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
And I hope you guys stay together forever.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Sounded odd, but you know I done. Okay, Yeah, Well
it's just way you denied that too quickly or something
going on.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Yeah, yeah, we don't need no. Ok she's happily married
and pregnant and really with her with her great husband. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Wow, mozzle Tom mozle to Marlin, what is she expecting?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Oh, she's gonna love it. Man, she having a boy
or girl?
Speaker 5 (27:22):

Speaker 8 (27:24):
I don't know, and I don't know if she knows, Please.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Let us know.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's gonna be the greatest thing that's ever happened to her. Yeah, buddy,
thanks for coming on. Have a great weekend, and we'll
talk to you next Friday.
Speaker 2 (27:35):

Speaker 1 (27:36):
You, buddy, Dig talng with you too. All right, there
he goes Alex Michaelson. That guy has always been very supportive.
Bellio loves that guy. Elex Michaelson. The issue is tonight
ten thirty go look at that, So somebody does.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We have a horrible story coming on newbury Park.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Newbury Park is a beautiful part of Los Angeles and
for people that don't know where it is or no
idea where it is, it's it's really sort of a
close kept secret newbury Park. It's out there near Simney
Valley and one of the great cool areas to live in,
(28:19):
and it's it's just a cool area, cool ad But
off the one oh one there where the twenty three is,
you have that whole area. What is that that farm
out there? There's a farm out there where all these
kids go to in that Newberry Park area.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Can remember what the name of that farm is. But
this is right off the one o one before you
go down to camer Rio, and it is a sensational
area to live in. The The Thousand Oaks mall is
out there, is.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
It the Underwood Family Farms Underwood, Yes, yes, yes, yes, Underwood.
It's just north of Newbury Park. You got a big
beautiful mall out there in newbury Park and it is
a really beautiful, safe place to live. However, there's been
a couple of problems there lately, and here is one
(29:12):
of them. There's a brother stabs another brother to death,
to death.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
That fifteen year old boy was killed in the house
here behind us on Jeanie Court here in Newbury Park.
Just last night, a twenty four year old man has
been arrested on murder chargers. And today we learn from
the family that the two were brothers, and you mentioned
that bizarre twist. Today we also learned that the twenty
four year old suspect in this case, his father, was
convicted of murdering a child back in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Right, So the dad is in jail without the possibility
of parole. He's going to be soon joined by his son.
He has one son who was killed and the other
son evidently allegedly killed the other son. So there hasn't
been a a lot of movement in growing from dad
(30:03):
down to sun here.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
As the Ventura County Sheriff's Department investigates the killing of
a fifteen.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Year old boy in Newberry Park Thursday night, the department
says they've booked twenty four year old Zewberry Sharp on
murder charges. Officials see the killing happened at this home
on Jeanie Cord around eight o'clock, and that the arrested
Sharp a short time later less than a mile away
at Newberry Park High School.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, he was at the high school, evidently in the
middle of the football field, completely nude, naked in the
middle of the field. So something's going on with this family.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
He was found running around naked. The school was placed
on a temporary lockdown as families were there late attending
a recital.
Speaker 12 (30:41):
We were in the performance and all of a sudden,
they just said there's going to be a delay in
the performance.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Because the people who live in Newbury Park hate this
crap they do. The reason why they moved out there,
the Newbury Park, the reason why they spend a lot
of money on a home, the reason why the lot
of tacks, the reason why they what they're you know,
they fight with traffic every day to get to work,
(31:07):
every day to get home from work, is because they
want a safe neighborhood for their kids.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
That's the motto.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You ask anybody Newberry Park, and I'd say ninety percent
of them say, Hey, why do you live in Newberry Park?
Because it's safe for my kids. I think they'll say
that almost verbatim. It's safe for my kids. That's why
they move out there. They hate this kind of crap.
Speaker 12 (31:29):
We were in the performance and all of a sudden,
they just said there's going to be a delay in
the performance because they're on the lockdown. And at that time,
we all we thought that there was just a streaker
in the in the campus.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's what we thought at first.
Speaker 12 (31:40):
We didn't hear until afterwards everything that was going down.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We were scared. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's very
nerve wracking. Investigators sho, did you hear that? Yeah, I
mean it's it's it's very nerve wracking.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
It's very nerve wracking. These people are out there because
they want safe place.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
To raise their kids.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Investigators say the fifteen years who has not been identified,
was found suffering from blunt force trauma. He was taken
to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. A
family member tells NBC four that Sharp and the teenager
were brothers. The Ventura County District Attorney's office also confirming
that Sharp's father is Calvin Sharp, who was convicted of
murdering six year old seven Molina your Thousand Oaks in
(32:20):
two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Okay, so that happened in Thousand Oaks as well, and
then they stayed in that area. They stayed in the
Thousand Oaks newbury Park area. Wow wow Wow.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
The elder Sharp had tried to plead insanity, but was
later found to be legally sane. He was sentenced to
life in prison without parole. The family member we spoke
with today says Zooberry Sharp has a history of mental illness,
but it's too early to determine what led up to
the murder. Officials have not said how the teenager was killed.
Zooberry Sharp is in custody again. He's being held without bail,
(32:53):
who's expected to make his first court appearance sometime next week.
We did reach out to the Canejo Valley School District
to determine whether the fifteen year old who was killed
was a student with them. We have yet to hear back.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You know, when I was I was growing up in
the San Fernando Valley, born and raised in the valley flat. Well,
I shouldn't say that. My mom and dad had a
house in Tarzana up in the hills. And then when
they had six kids, they realized they're not going to
be driving their kids everywhere all the time, so they
bought a house in the flats so we can ride
bikes around and.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Be a little more independent.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
And you know, when you live up in the hills,
mom and dad have to drive you everywhere you go
until you're seventeen or eighteen, until you get your license everywhere. Yeah,
you know, you can't really go out on your bike
and ride around because you live up on a steep hill.
And so if you have a bunch of kids like
we did in our family, six kids, you got to
move somewhere in the flatlands, and that's what we did.
(33:48):
But when I was growing up, when we would drive
from the San Fernando Valley, my dad liked to go
up to Oxnard in Ventura just to hang out.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
It was off.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
It was like twenty or thirty degrees cooler up there
in the summer. If it was one hundred ten in
Tarzana where we used to live, it was probably eighty
degrees in Ventura and Oxnard.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So we'd go out in that area.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And the only thing out there when I was growing
up was a place called Wendy Drive, and there was
a Wendy's right there on the corner of Wendy Drive,
and I think that's why they call that Wendy Drive.
That was the only thing out there. There was one
exit before you go down the path and into Oxnard
and Ventura. None of these homes were there, None of
(34:29):
the homes that you see out there right now off
of Wendy Drive, off of you know.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
There's odd streets out there.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Kitty Street is out there, Debbie Street is out there,
Shirley Drive, it's a Denise Drive. I think they just
named the drives and the streets after their kids. But
there's Dana Drive. All the streets out there in the
area just north of Wendy Drive, they're all named after kids.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
There's Gloria Drive, there's.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Lynn Drive, Carry Drive, Melvin Drive, I have Lesser Drive,
and all those homes there were built after nineteen seventy,
probably in the early seventies, the mid seventies. But there's
it's a beautiful, beautifully planned neighborhood. Newbury Park. You got
(35:17):
great schools there, you got performing arts center there, you
got the Newbury Park High School, the big pool area,
the grounds there, the football field is immaculate, The baseball
field is great. And that Newbury Park High School is
surrounded by single family homes and all those kids went
(35:38):
to Newbury Park High School. They I think Alex Michaelson
is from out there, and so all those kids went
to that school. And that's back when you can buy
a house for a couple hundred grand, maybe one hundred
and fifty two hundred thousand dollars, and your kids could
go to public school and it was a great public school.
That Newbury Public School is terrific. A lot of families
(35:59):
go out there because they love the school, they love
the neighborhood, they love there's other families around. It's pretty
tight quarters. You don't get a lot of property in
the homes out there in Newberry Park. But again, the
reason why they moved out there is safety, and now
that has been crushed at least for last night. Conway
