Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's kf I AM six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI
AM six forty Conway Shows. Bella, did you do this
for my my horoscope? You put this together?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I did? I did. This is my today's horoscope. It's
a good one for libra.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
How do you know I was a libra, Jess Bellio?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I looked it up.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
All right, here's December sixth, hi horoscope for libras. If
you're a Libra, listen. If you're not, grab a cigarette,
take a break. There's some likelihood you'll become irritated with
someone close to you today. Well, that's every day for libras.
(00:50):
Just who do they think they are? Anyway, Bellio? How
insulting to put on such an act, especially in entering
how long you've known each other, Belly, Oh, whatever the
fight is about. At the heart of it, it is
your frustration and concern that your friendship may end. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
(01:14):
no no no. Try not to overreact, express yourself mildly,
and don't listen to people who get involved who do
traffic for a living. Oh god, is that specific? Oh
my god, man, this really is specific.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
We have Joel on the line.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh do Joe Grover. Let's put them on Joe Grover.
How you Bob?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Oh my gosh, my old old old I miss you.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Okay, well you're on the air, buddy. Let's don't do
that on it.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But I got to get you a warning. I was
up extremely late last night with my NBC colleagues celebrating.
I'm so tired and delirious. If it weren't you, I
would be napping right now.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Okay, all right, buddy, I can't believe you're retired. What
happened over there? Why did Why did you retire? I
wanted you to be around forever. There's nobody keeping an
eye on people anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, let me say this and thank you very much
for the kind words. First of all, I am not
retiring for life.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Good.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I had made a very loving, amicable, mutual decision when
my bosses at NBC that it was time for me
to take a break. And I really mean it. I've
been there twenty two years. I was at KCBS before that.
I've been on TV for forty two years. I'm tired,
I'm exhausted, and I needed I really felt like I
(02:41):
needed a break, and we had some good discussions and
so I'm taking a break, and I'm truly not retiring,
but I'm going to tell you I have options of
other things to do, and I'm going to take really
at least six months off.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay, I just need one need to Joel. Wherever you land,
we will we will do the publicity for you because
you were so kind when we had a nothing show
with no ratings. You would come on with us every
single week back at Kala Sex and you would come
in and you do a half hour with us, and
that was a big deal for us.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, it was a pleasure. And you know what, I'm
being serious? Can I kiss your ask for one second?
Your show, to me always had the perfect balance of
humor and intelligence and inquisitiveness, and it was always a
pleasure to be on. And I really mean it. I'm
not going to tell you where I'm gonna end up.
Just a hint. Does the does the phrase conween Grover?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Okay? All right, Look, I think I think you should
get a David Goldstein, the G and G team, Goldstein
and Grover together and really take this city apart.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And I thought you always told me privately, you thought
it was so much better than Goldstein.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I think you are. But when I text him, I say,
he's much better than you. Hey, So let me ask
you something. You know, we used to have Kim Baldonado
would come on with us, and and uh and and
I think Colleen came on with us. Fred used to
come on with us, and and Fritz Coleman. And then
all of a sudden, like two years ago, people from
(04:14):
NBC stopped coming on our show. What do you why
do you think that happened?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You know, I know what, I don't really know. I
just know that because I used to on your show
a couple other shows, and I think they just decided
they wanted, you know, the voices of NBC to just
be one. I didn't you know that was their decision.
So you know, write to check right.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You know, we got in trouble too because you had
sent a reporter. NBC had sent a reporter over to
the Olympics to cover the Olympics, right, and we and
we had her on for the first segment, but then
we lost her cell phone connection for the second segment,
and and then we just had belly o you know,
go in the other room and just pretend she was her.
(05:03):
And I guess NBC got pissed off about this.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, they don't like that when you do that, don't
you dare every person I came.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But Joel, I also heard that you have a family.
Now do you have kids?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
They're seventeen and a half.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh, I didn't know that you have twins.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I do, and they're they're gonna be off to college,
you know, next fall. Oh, buddy, this was a doubly
good time for me, good for you to take a break.
And literally the day I made the decision, which was
early October, I think you know that I was going
to leave NBC and take a hiatus. You know, I
(05:42):
kind of I loved my job and I really had
twenty two mostly great years at NBC, but you know,
it's a lot of pressure, a lot of time. I
literally came home that day and I was calmer and gentler,
and my kids, my kids were like, we we think
we liked this version of you.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Buddy. You know what you're You're like me. You're gonna
be a mess as an empty nester, or you're gonna
you know, you love the kids, you love having them around.
Are there you have a boy and a girl, or
two boys two girls, a boy and a girl. The
boy and a girl, and they're twins.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
They're twins, and I've always said they take take turns
since they were born, torturing us.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay are they they're.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Really amazing kids. But like you know, as babies, when
one of them would cry all night, the other would
sleep all night, they slipped. Now even as teenagers. You know,
when one of them gives us add to the other,
sweetest can be, and then the next week it changes.
But now they're really we will bless the two amazing kids.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Bellio gave me a note here Are they identical twins? Belly,
I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Let me explain something.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
One's a girl.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I think theologically when one's a boy and when's a girl,
they cannot be.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Okay, Bellio, nice move, nice move, Bellio. So Joel, look
I've been you know. You know me. I'm a big
huge fan of local news two four or five, seven
eleven nine. I cover everybody. I love everybody in the news.
I'm not a big fan of the national news, but
I love local news and I think what it's what
brings this city together. You know, when we go through
a disaster, whether it's an earthquake, flood, you know, snow
(07:10):
up in the mountains, you know, drought, heat, whatever, we
all go through it together, and the news brings us
to the information so we can all share in that,
in that tragedy or in that triumph together. And I
don't think anybody does it better than TV news. And
I'm sad to see that, you know, the cuts that
they're making in TV news when it comes to you know,
(07:31):
people like you, where you know, you go out and
really make a difference. Look, you, there is nobody in
Los Angeles News over the last hundred years who's made
a bigger difference than you on a daily basis for
people live in the city of Los Angeles. And I
challenge anyone to to disagree with that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Thank you. I really appreciate that. And I have to
say something I have said for decades to my friends,
my family, and my colleagues. I have the best job
in TV news as a what we call a long
form investigative reporter. I was it was such a great
gift and such a privilege from bosses to have the
(08:12):
time and the resources to really investigate, dig deep, you know,
as you pointed out though the media business is changing,
certainly the company you work for is changing. Things are shrinking.
People have more options of getting you know, their information.
I don't like it, by the way. You know, my
kids they'll tell me something they heard the news tagle
(08:34):
where did you Where'd you hear that? On TikTok? Yeah, Well,
what's your source? I don't know on TikTok. Well you
need to know what the source is. And I'm proud that,
like there have been credible sources of news like NBC.
I think it's credible, you know news, some major newspapers.
We don't always get it right, but you know, I
really it makes me a little sad to see the
(08:55):
credible sources of information for the world shrinking. And I
don't know where the information business is going. And it
concerns me, It really does.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Joel. Can you please, I mean, once you rest up
and you you know you know what you're gonna do,
can you please to stay in touch with us and
tell us what you're gonna do, Because again you're you're
one of the important guys in one of the important
reporters in LA and your voice again has made a
huge difference and it should continue as well.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I will. Of course. You are on the top of
my list. And it's really interesting that your producer reached
out to me today because I was thinking about you recently.
I've been very reflective about my career recently, and I
think of the people that have helped me, like you
and supported me, and I will always be there with you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Let's not fall apart.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Joel. Please, I know well I am.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Joel. Please come in when you know next week we're
gonna take a couple of you know, a week off
or so, but after the new year, we'd love to
have you on, like you know, on a regular basis,
just either phone in or come in. We we really
enjoy your work and it's important work.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know what, Tim, I will take you up on that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Good.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I got to tell you, I've had a platform to
dig into certain issues good homelessness in LA and I
want to keep talking about them.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
All right, Hold on my second, All right, Joel, hold
on second. I got more to say to this guy.
This guy is the best. He's one of my favorite
guys of all time. I can't just you know, because
we have to take a break here. I can't just
let him go. I got a million things to say
this guy.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Joel Grover has left NBC. We heard this last night
for the first time on NBC with Colleen Williams.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
After twenty two years at NBC four and hundreds of investigations.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
I'm getting teary.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Eyed just thinking about this.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Tonight we say goodbye to our investigative reporter, Joel Grover.
So Joel is Wethers, Joel, how are you welcome back?
I At the end of that, Colleen Williams got very emotional.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
She did. I love Colleen, truthfully so much. She's not
only been a colleague who I've looked up to for decades,
but we've become good friends, confidants. So there was a
few extra layers of a post and saying abye to
her and her sing abye to me. I have to
tell you, even though you know, working in newsroom can
(11:21):
be tough at times and competitive, I've worked at I
think seventy TV stations in my forty two year career,
and NBC four has truly been the most friendly, collegial,
loving place of you know, I've worked in some shark
tanks before. But it's really been a great place, not
without its problems, but the people there are by and
(11:42):
large so nice. And it hit me hard this week
saying goodbye to people like Colleen. I mean a few
years ago I said, go about to Chuck Henry and
Fritz Coleman. They left, but you know, there's a lot
of great people there.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So Joel, a couple of things. I know that you know,
the restaurant thing is a big deal, but I think
even bigger than restaurant thing, you took on the homeless problem.
When that pissed off a lot of politicians that you
know that you guys do business with and you talked
to on a daily basis, and they didn't like that.
They didn't like that you took on the homeless you
(12:14):
know problem, but you took it on for the viewers.
You didn't give a rat sass about what management said
or what about the politician said. You took it on
for us. And I can't tell you how much respect
we respect that.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I appreciate that. I will say this. I think it
was seven years ago I went to my management with
my producer at the time, Amy Krrall, and we said
there's no bigger issue facing in the LA area than homelessness.
And they agreed, and they said, we want to cut
you guys loose to really focus on that. So they
gave us the mandate and they gave us the resources.
(12:48):
And you know, I interview I will say this, I
used to interview Mayor Garcetti. I'm going to stay and
think I was probably not allowed to say before. I
felt like he always dodged the hard questions about solving homelessness.
He talked around them, you know, Mayor Bass, and he
avoided me a lot. Mayor Bass, to her credit, has
(13:10):
not avoided me. And I have a lot of hard
questions for her about all the money she's spending on
homelessness and are we really seeing the results. But I
will say she at least doesn't hide from me and
dodge me. But it's just, you know, this is I
actually said the mayor baths last two times to interviewed her.
I don't end you. You have the hardest job in
(13:32):
politics solving homelessness in southern California. You know it, right?
I don't know, but Joel, you know another thing for
another show I.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Was watching, I'm not going to say what news station was,
because I like a lot of people over there, but
I was watching a news station was not NBC, and
they did a puff piece on on Mayor Bass it's
her second year anniversary, and I couldn't tell whether that
was written by the news department or the PR department
at City Hall. It was disgusting.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, I've seen that, by the way. I've seen that
a number of newspapers. I've seen that a number of
TV stations, And you know what, again, I'm proud my
bosses gave me the backing to ask Mayor Beth and
other politicians like counselwoman mister Raman and counselmen of Ugo
Soda Martinez, who covers part of Hollywood, and you know,
(14:25):
it's hard to see if homelessness is getting any better
in their districts. But they've given me the backing to
ask those hard questions and to I would never do
one of those puff pieces. You know that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I know you wouldn't. I mean, that's that's why people
watched you.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, I'm proud of that. And I want to tell
you this, if you want to continue to have me
on your show, I continue all you know, all my
sources covering homelessness have said to me, you can't. You
can't leave NBC. You can't. We need you, you know,
to speak out. We need your voice, We need to
talk to you. So I will still be there. I'm
(15:01):
happy some time to be on your show to talk
without a filter. That's great about what I see because
you know, again there's an investigative reporting is in my DNA.
It has been since my my whole life. And I'm
going to continue to talk to people and have my
sources and speak out about it, Like do you want
(15:23):
to hear what I have to say?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Joel? You know, after the new year, please come in.
We're going to dedicate December fifth as Joel Grover Day
here at K five. It will always be Joel Grover Day,
the day that you left NBC. And and I really
I'm excited for you because you no longer have to
worry about what management has to say to you about
(15:46):
the stories that you cover. I think you're gonna even
be better now than you were before.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I think you are right, Yes, I really do.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Anyway, enjoy enjoy the holidays with the kids, and and
and again congratulate on not only an unbelievable career, but
being a great dad, being a you know, and having
a great relationship with those kids. It really is important.
I'm glad you're gonna spend the last you know, six
months while they're in high school, uh, you know, being
there for them in the morning, noon, at night. And
(16:16):
we'd love to have you on a time. I can't
tell you. You first came on with us twenty seven years
ago and you always said yes and I and again,
I can't tell you for when I just started off
here and nobody said yes to coming on the show
on a regular basis. You were the first guy, the
only guy. And I'll never forget that, buddy.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Thank you, and I'll never forget all you've done for me.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You're the best.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
We are.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
We are friends for life, and you're not going to
get rid of me.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I am not. I am going to be very involved
in your life to the point where you know you're
going to be a shame by how close we All right, buddy,
I have a great holiday, and we'll speak you in
the new year.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I look forward to it, all right.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Joel Grover, NBC News A major loss for Los Angeles.
That guy is the absolute best. He has the biggest
balls when it comes to trying to clean up homelessness,
the restaurants, trying to make LA a better place to live.
We need more of guys like that, not less, more
(17:16):
many more. So. If you're young, and you and you
you know, go look at Joel Grover's work. Try to
be like Joel and try to make a difference like
Joel did. And we'll have you on the show anytime
you watch.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Nice to have Joel Grover on. He was the investigative
reporter for NBC and he has left NBC spending more
time with his kids. He's got two kids in high school,
and he's going to come on with us because he
is really done some great work, great great work here
in Los Angeles. All right, the Mega millions. We talked
(17:55):
about this earlier. It's still unclaimed. Somebody has until Sunday
to cash in a ticket bought purchased an Encino at
a Chevron station for one hundred and ninety seven million dollars.
It was purchased last year on December I think it
was December seventh or eighth. I think it was December
(18:15):
eighth in twenty twenty three, and now it expires the
day after tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
To think that somewhere out there someone could be a
mega millionaire.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Take a look.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
One hundred and ninety seven million, five hundred thousand dollars.
That is what that one ticket bought one year ago
on de seventy eighth, twenty twenty three, right here in Encino,
and it still has not been claimed. And this gas station,
it's a Chevron gas station.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
It actually made lot of.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
History in the state of California because for the first
time ever, they sold two winning tickets on the same
day for the jackpot.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Now the suspicious suspicious, I don't know on what level,
by odd really odd? The two tickets were bought at
the same gas station for the same lottery, and both
worth one hundred and ninety seven million dollars.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Now, the first person who won the other ticket, who
has a ticket, that man claimed it back in June.
But this guy or this lady still hasn't come forward
in that line is still out there.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The ticket is still out there. Let's go through our pants,
go through our drawers, find that ticket. If you live
in Insino, sixty six, and you find a way bond
number is twenty six.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Not for the nagamone number that is thirteen.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
A lot say every mondy month he still six six
and the gonna make about the don oh do you
hear that? He said, ding dong at the end, sixty.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Six, twenty six.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You don't want to make about a thirteen.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
And those are the lucky winning numbers.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
In December of last year, that ticket, those two tickets
sold here at the Chevron gas Station I Ventura Boulevard
on the corner of Linley under stond Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It was Linley we suspected last night it was the
Lindley Lea gas station. Linley and Ventura, just on the
border of Tarzana and Encino. About another half block west
of there is Tarzana justin Encino, Linley and Ventura where
(20:16):
the old Mosca Tels used to be. The Surprise Store
used to be there as well. Now I think it's
all just you know, office buildings or Starbucks. But somebody
has a ticket where the one hundred ninety seven million
dollars and you have about forty eight hours to claim
corner of Linley.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
On December the eighth, again one of.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Those tickets was claimed back in June. That person took
home they're one hundred and ninety seven five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
But the other ticket has not claimed.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Now what happens to the money that we're all asking?
What happens that money if it's not claimed, has.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Been claimed and time is running out. You have until tomorrow,
Saturday at eleven fifty nine pm to submit your winning
ticket and your claim. If you don't claim it, the
ticket is worthless and all of that money will go
to the California school System because the law of course
benefits schools in California.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
So that's a win win for the school system.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
But it's a lose lose for the person who bought
the ticket and maybe didn't check their numbers or lost it.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Doesn't know where it is anymore.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
So if you were at the Incigno gas station here
the Chevron, I've been Trent literally in December of last year,
and you still have some tickets laying around, please check them.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
You have until tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh my god, the clock is ticking. Please check those tickets.
Go through old boxes, old pants. Maybe it's in a
pair of pants you have in the closet somewhere, an
old jacket. But if I haven't been to that gas station.
I used to live fairly close to that gas station,
and if I still lived over there, it would drive
(21:47):
me crazy because I've been to that chevron. That's where
I used to buy my gas. I used to literally
live on Enfield near Ventura, which is two blocks east
of where that gas station is, and I used to
go to that get station all the time, all the time.
And now that ticket is going to be worth nothing
(22:09):
come Sunday. Nothing. So if you have a grandmother or
grandfather who live in that area, maybe they buy tickets
they forgot about it, Go to their home, bust into
their home or use a key whatever, and get into
their home and look through all of their crap, all
of their stuff. It could be one hundred and ninety
(22:31):
seven and a half million dollars. So get on it tonight,
don't wait tonight tomorrow before sundown.

and he was with the Eighth Air Force, Eighth Air Force,
forty fourth Bomb Group in the five hundred and six Squadron.
I believe this in World War two. Yes, World War two.
He was shot down on May eleventh, nineteen forty four.
The fate of the crew four captured immediately immediately, two
(24:43):
of them hospitalized, three evaded capture, and three evaders were
then eventually captured and one of those sent was sent
to Butchenwald. I don't know where that is, but this
is an unbelievable man. He was captured on July fourth,
nineteen forty four, taken to Paris where he was held
(25:06):
and then eventually released. Even has what box guard transport
he was in. So there's a lot of information on
this hero. This is an unbelievable story, and he recently
passed one hundred and three years old. So to all
(25:26):
the family members of veteran Warren Bowder. What a life.
What a life? I again, born on back in twoenty
twenty one, I'm sorry, nineteen twenty one, nineteen twenty one,
December fifth, same birthday as my brother, December fifth, nineteen
twenty one, and passed away on October nineteenth of this year.
(25:51):
So what a hell of a life this man lived
and got to see it all, was shot down World
War two, fought for the un id States and the
freedom of the world. That's a great guy. That's a
great guy. And so his family wanted to wanted us
to give a quick shout out, and we would more
than happy to do that. What a tremendous life this
(26:13):
man had, So please remember him. Veteran Warren f Powder.
All right, Angel Martinez, do you have more information on
this crash?
Speaker 10 (26:21):
I absolutely do so in Ileana Mareno, I think she's
in news Bravo.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Bravo with NBC.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yes, I believe, right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
Anyway, she's telling me that the eastbound sides of the
one oh five at Downey Avenue or Downey Road are open,
but everybody's slowing down to take a look at the crash.
Now the crash is on the westbound side just before
Downey Avenue and that is off limits currently and chammed
(26:53):
up from the one from the six to oh five,
So it's just a huge mess there and all in
it for westbound travel. Bail off the freeway before you can.
A lot of people are hitting the one oh five
westbound from that south six to oh five. An Imperial
Highway right now is an excellent option for you. That's
just to the north of the one o five, to
(27:14):
the south of the one oh five. From Woodruff you
can take Foster Road instead, but huge delays, especially on
that westbound side. It's just stopping up from the six
to oh five currently. And if you are heading south
six oh five to the west one o five, there's
an off ramp to go to exit at Imperial Highway
and that's going to save you a boatload of time.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Okay. And is this is this between the six oh
five and the seven ten? Is that where that accident is?
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Yes, it's between the six oh five and the seven ten,
right exactly there. So yeah, right in that area downy
Holly Dale. Uh what else is in that stratech Paramount?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Okay, excellent. Yeah, it's a big good kiser per Entai
out there too. All right, we'll keep an eye on that.
Thank you, Angel Martinez, the one oh five. I a
mess with these with this officer down from the LA
Sheriff's department. So when more news comes in on that,
we will have that for you. All right, Let's talk
(28:18):
a little bit. It's something a little easier here. It is.
I know Sharon Bellio is a major, major Taylor Swift fan.
I don't know if she consider herself a Swifty or not.
I am you are, okay, I'd go there, all right,
So this is an end of an era tour.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Bella is also end of the end of the era's tour.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yes, Belly, you're a big fan. You're a big Taylor
Swift fan.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I appreciate her music. It's very nostalgic for me.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, all right. Maybe you went through some problems and
she's sort of sang saying about your problems something like that.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Maybe when I was like ten years old and not
super into her.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Did you ever see her in concert?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
No, no, never, I'm not I'm not a true Swifty.
I can't give myself that title.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Okay, all right, all right, Well let's find a little
more information here. This is the end end of the
big tour for Taylor Swist. Welcome to the Era's Tour
this morning.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
It's the end of an Era music superstar Taylor Swift's
wildly successful Eras World tour officially coming to a close
this weekend with three stops in Vancouver, Canada.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Wow, you're making me right now.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
The fourteen time Grammy winner performing one hundred and fifty
two shows in fifty four cities across five continents to
six million people who bought tickets for the tour, making
it the highest grossing tour in history, with an expected
two billion dollars in sales during its two year run.
What two billion dollars in sales during its two year run?
(29:49):
Holy smokes, But this tour has been extraordinary for another reason.
It was a rebirth of sorts, coming out of a pandemic,
ushering in a new kind of concert, an all family affair,
putting kindness and inclusivity first.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
This was such a big tour that it had a
positive effect on the economy with every city that had
stopped in. Every city saw a boom in hotels and restaurants,
rented cars, flights, tickets, all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Yeah, they estimated seven billion dollars worth.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
The Eiras tour really fostered this sense of community in
a lot of ways, and it really brought all different
types of people together in celebration of their favorite pop.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Star, fans connecting through friendship bracelets. Inspired by this lyric
trend taking on a life of its own.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Oh my god, you don't have to.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
It's karma at its best. Twelve year old Elli has
collected fifteen hundred bracelets from Swifties.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Seems like a lot? Does seem like a lot?
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Twelve year old Ellie has collected fifteen hundred bracelets from
Swifties all over the world.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Bella, do you have any friendship bracelets?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I have a.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Few that one of our listeners.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Made that right, okay, And she says swift push of
inclusivity changed her life.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I haven't really.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Felt like I fit in and Sandor's really helped me
push through all of that.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
She didn't really have a lot of friends, which started
this journey, and it just was so beautiful for other
people to see.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Like her in the way we saw her.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
After the Vienna concerts were canceled due to a thwarted
terrorist plot. Undeterred, fans took to the streets of the
city holding their own mini concerts. This little girl who
had tickets for one of those shows later surprised with
new tickets from her grandfather.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Oh right, my God for Friday Night and I like
your name. We appreciated that Taylor kept us all safe,
but it was kind.
Speaker 11 (31:59):
Of heart breaking through you know, she what did you do?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I hush, yeah, shake it off.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
And while the tour may be coming to an end,
it could signal the beginning of a new kind of
concert experience.
Speaker 11 (32:14):
Everywhere she really has presented and almost required in some ways,
this kindness of her fans.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And there was an unbelievable tour. I mean everybody talked
about that for the last two years. Everywhere she went,
that was the big story. So it's coming to an end.
She'll probably take a year off or so two years
off and then crank it up again, all right. Bellio

a good one for libra.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
How do you know I was a libra, Jess Bellio?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I looked it up.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
All right, here's December sixth, hi horoscope for libras. If

someone close to you today. Well, that's every day for libras.
(00:50):

insulting to put on such an act, especially in entering

We have Joel on the line.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh do Joe Grover. Let's put them on Joe Grover.
How you Bob?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Oh my gosh, my old old old I miss you.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Okay, well you're on the air, buddy. Let's don't do
that on it.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But I got to get you a warning. I was
up extremely late last night with my NBC colleagues celebrating.
I'm so tired and delirious. If it weren't you, I
would be napping right now.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Okay, all right, buddy, I can't believe you're retired. What
happened over there? Why did Why did you retire? I
wanted you to be around forever. There's nobody keeping an
eye on people anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, let me say this and thank you very much
for the kind words. First of all, I am not
retiring for life.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Good.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I had made a very loving, amicable, mutual decision when
my bosses at NBC that it was time for me
to take a break. And I really mean it. I've
been there twenty two years. I was at KCBS before that.
I've been on TV for forty two years. I'm tired,
I'm exhausted, and I needed I really felt like I
(02:41):
needed a break, and we had some good discussions and
so I'm taking a break, and I'm truly not retiring,
but I'm going to tell you I have options of
other things to do, and I'm going to take really
at least six months off.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay, I just need one need to Joel. Wherever you land,
we will we will do the publicity for you because
you were so kind when we had a nothing show
with no ratings. You would come on with us every
single week back at Kala Sex and you would come
in and you do a half hour with us, and
that was a big deal for us.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, it was a pleasure. And you know what, I'm
being serious? Can I kiss your ask for one second?
Your show, to me always had the perfect balance of
humor and intelligence and inquisitiveness, and it was always a
pleasure to be on. And I really mean it. I'm
not going to tell you where I'm gonna end up.
Just a hint. Does the does the phrase conween Grover?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Okay? All right, Look, I think I think you should
get a David Goldstein, the G and G team, Goldstein
and Grover together and really take this city apart.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And I thought you always told me privately, you thought
it was so much better than Goldstein.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I think you are. But when I text him, I say,
he's much better than you. Hey, So let me ask
you something. You know, we used to have Kim Baldonado
would come on with us, and and uh and and
I think Colleen came on with us. Fred used to
come on with us, and and Fritz Coleman. And then
all of a sudden, like two years ago, people from
(04:14):
NBC stopped coming on our show. What do you why
do you think that happened?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You know, I know what, I don't really know. I
just know that because I used to on your show
a couple other shows, and I think they just decided
they wanted, you know, the voices of NBC to just
be one. I didn't you know that was their decision.
So you know, write to check right.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You know, we got in trouble too because you had
sent a reporter. NBC had sent a reporter over to
the Olympics to cover the Olympics, right, and we and
we had her on for the first segment, but then
we lost her cell phone connection for the second segment,
and and then we just had belly o you know,
go in the other room and just pretend she was her.
(05:03):
And I guess NBC got pissed off about this.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, they don't like that when you do that, don't
you dare every person I came.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But Joel, I also heard that you have a family.
Now do you have kids?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
They're seventeen and a half.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh, I didn't know that you have twins.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I do, and they're they're gonna be off to college,
you know, next fall. Oh, buddy, this was a doubly
good time for me, good for you to take a break.
And literally the day I made the decision, which was
early October, I think you know that I was going
to leave NBC and take a hiatus. You know, I
(05:42):
kind of I loved my job and I really had
twenty two mostly great years at NBC, but you know,
it's a lot of pressure, a lot of time. I
literally came home that day and I was calmer and gentler,
and my kids, my kids were like, we we think
we liked this version of you.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Buddy. You know what you're You're like me. You're gonna
be a mess as an empty nester, or you're gonna
you know, you love the kids, you love having them around.
Are there you have a boy and a girl, or
two boys two girls, a boy and a girl. The
boy and a girl, and they're twins.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
They're twins, and I've always said they take take turns
since they were born, torturing us.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay are they they're.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Really amazing kids. But like you know, as babies, when
one of them would cry all night, the other would
sleep all night, they slipped. Now even as teenagers. You know,
when one of them gives us add to the other,
sweetest can be, and then the next week it changes.
But now they're really we will bless the two amazing kids.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Bellio gave me a note here Are they identical twins? Belly,
I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Let me explain something.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
One's a girl.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I think theologically when one's a boy and when's a girl,
they cannot be.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Okay, Bellio, nice move, nice move, Bellio. So Joel, look
I've been you know. You know me. I'm a big
huge fan of local news two four or five, seven
eleven nine. I cover everybody. I love everybody in the news.
I'm not a big fan of the national news, but
I love local news and I think what it's what
brings this city together. You know, when we go through
a disaster, whether it's an earthquake, flood, you know, snow
(07:10):
up in the mountains, you know, drought, heat, whatever, we
all go through it together, and the news brings us
to the information so we can all share in that,
in that tragedy or in that triumph together. And I
don't think anybody does it better than TV news. And
I'm sad to see that, you know, the cuts that
they're making in TV news when it comes to you know,
(07:31):
people like you, where you know, you go out and
really make a difference. Look, you, there is nobody in
Los Angeles News over the last hundred years who's made
a bigger difference than you on a daily basis for
people live in the city of Los Angeles. And I
challenge anyone to to disagree with that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Thank you. I really appreciate that. And I have to
say something I have said for decades to my friends,
my family, and my colleagues. I have the best job
in TV news as a what we call a long
form investigative reporter. I was it was such a great
gift and such a privilege from bosses to have the
(08:12):
time and the resources to really investigate, dig deep, you know,
as you pointed out though the media business is changing,
certainly the company you work for is changing. Things are shrinking.
People have more options of getting you know, their information.
I don't like it, by the way. You know, my
kids they'll tell me something they heard the news tagle
(08:34):
where did you Where'd you hear that? On TikTok? Yeah, Well,
what's your source? I don't know on TikTok. Well you
need to know what the source is. And I'm proud that,
like there have been credible sources of news like NBC.
I think it's credible, you know news, some major newspapers.
We don't always get it right, but you know, I
really it makes me a little sad to see the
(08:55):
credible sources of information for the world shrinking. And I
don't know where the information business is going. And it
concerns me, It really does.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Joel. Can you please, I mean, once you rest up
and you you know you know what you're gonna do,
can you please to stay in touch with us and
tell us what you're gonna do, Because again you're you're
one of the important guys in one of the important
reporters in LA and your voice again has made a
huge difference and it should continue as well.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I will. Of course. You are on the top of
my list. And it's really interesting that your producer reached
out to me today because I was thinking about you recently.
I've been very reflective about my career recently, and I
think of the people that have helped me, like you
and supported me, and I will always be there with you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Let's not fall apart.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Joel. Please, I know well I am.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Joel. Please come in when you know next week we're
gonna take a couple of you know, a week off
or so, but after the new year, we'd love to
have you on, like you know, on a regular basis,
just either phone in or come in. We we really
enjoy your work and it's important work.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know what, Tim, I will take you up on that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Good.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I got to tell you, I've had a platform to
dig into certain issues good homelessness in LA and I
want to keep talking about them.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
All right, Hold on my second, All right, Joel, hold
on second. I got more to say to this guy.
This guy is the best. He's one of my favorite
guys of all time. I can't just you know, because
we have to take a break here. I can't just
let him go. I got a million things to say
this guy.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Joel Grover has left NBC. We heard this last night
for the first time on NBC with Colleen Williams.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
After twenty two years at NBC four and hundreds of investigations.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
I'm getting teary.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Eyed just thinking about this.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Tonight we say goodbye to our investigative reporter, Joel Grover.
So Joel is Wethers, Joel, how are you welcome back?
I At the end of that, Colleen Williams got very emotional.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
She did. I love Colleen, truthfully so much. She's not
only been a colleague who I've looked up to for decades,
but we've become good friends, confidants. So there was a
few extra layers of a post and saying abye to
her and her sing abye to me. I have to
tell you, even though you know, working in newsroom can
(11:21):
be tough at times and competitive, I've worked at I
think seventy TV stations in my forty two year career,
and NBC four has truly been the most friendly, collegial,
loving place of you know, I've worked in some shark
tanks before. But it's really been a great place, not
without its problems, but the people there are by and
(11:42):
large so nice. And it hit me hard this week
saying goodbye to people like Colleen. I mean a few
years ago I said, go about to Chuck Henry and
Fritz Coleman. They left, but you know, there's a lot
of great people there.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So Joel, a couple of things. I know that you know,
the restaurant thing is a big deal, but I think
even bigger than restaurant thing, you took on the homeless problem.
When that pissed off a lot of politicians that you
know that you guys do business with and you talked
to on a daily basis, and they didn't like that.
They didn't like that you took on the homeless you
(12:14):
know problem, but you took it on for the viewers.
You didn't give a rat sass about what management said
or what about the politician said. You took it on
for us. And I can't tell you how much respect
we respect that.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I appreciate that. I will say this. I think it
was seven years ago I went to my management with
my producer at the time, Amy Krrall, and we said
there's no bigger issue facing in the LA area than homelessness.
And they agreed, and they said, we want to cut
you guys loose to really focus on that. So they
gave us the mandate and they gave us the resources.
(12:48):
And you know, I interview I will say this, I
used to interview Mayor Garcetti. I'm going to stay and
think I was probably not allowed to say before. I
felt like he always dodged the hard questions about solving homelessness.
He talked around them, you know, Mayor Bass, and he
avoided me a lot. Mayor Bass, to her credit, has
(13:10):
not avoided me. And I have a lot of hard
questions for her about all the money she's spending on
homelessness and are we really seeing the results. But I
will say she at least doesn't hide from me and
dodge me. But it's just, you know, this is I
actually said the mayor baths last two times to interviewed her.
I don't end you. You have the hardest job in
(13:32):
politics solving homelessness in southern California. You know it, right?
I don't know, but Joel, you know another thing for
another show I.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Was watching, I'm not going to say what news station was,
because I like a lot of people over there, but
I was watching a news station was not NBC, and
they did a puff piece on on Mayor Bass it's
her second year anniversary, and I couldn't tell whether that
was written by the news department or the PR department
at City Hall. It was disgusting.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, I've seen that, by the way. I've seen that
a number of newspapers. I've seen that a number of
TV stations, And you know what, again, I'm proud my
bosses gave me the backing to ask Mayor Beth and
other politicians like counselwoman mister Raman and counselmen of Ugo
Soda Martinez, who covers part of Hollywood, and you know,
(14:25):
it's hard to see if homelessness is getting any better
in their districts. But they've given me the backing to
ask those hard questions and to I would never do
one of those puff pieces. You know that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I know you wouldn't. I mean, that's that's why people
watched you.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, I'm proud of that. And I want to tell
you this, if you want to continue to have me
on your show, I continue all you know, all my
sources covering homelessness have said to me, you can't. You
can't leave NBC. You can't. We need you, you know,
to speak out. We need your voice, We need to
talk to you. So I will still be there. I'm
(15:01):
happy some time to be on your show to talk
without a filter. That's great about what I see because
you know, again there's an investigative reporting is in my DNA.
It has been since my my whole life. And I'm
going to continue to talk to people and have my
sources and speak out about it, Like do you want
(15:23):
to hear what I have to say?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Joel? You know, after the new year, please come in.
We're going to dedicate December fifth as Joel Grover Day
here at K five. It will always be Joel Grover Day,
the day that you left NBC. And and I really
I'm excited for you because you no longer have to
worry about what management has to say to you about
(15:46):
the stories that you cover. I think you're gonna even
be better now than you were before.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I think you are right, Yes, I really do.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Anyway, enjoy enjoy the holidays with the kids, and and
and again congratulate on not only an unbelievable career, but
being a great dad, being a you know, and having
a great relationship with those kids. It really is important.
I'm glad you're gonna spend the last you know, six
months while they're in high school, uh, you know, being
there for them in the morning, noon, at night. And
(16:16):
we'd love to have you on a time. I can't
tell you. You first came on with us twenty seven years
ago and you always said yes and I and again,
I can't tell you for when I just started off
here and nobody said yes to coming on the show
on a regular basis. You were the first guy, the
only guy. And I'll never forget that, buddy.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Thank you, and I'll never forget all you've done for me.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You're the best.
Speaker 3 (16:36):

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Joel Grover, NBC News A major loss for Los Angeles.
That guy is the absolute best. He has the biggest
balls when it comes to trying to clean up homelessness,
the restaurants, trying to make LA a better place to live.
We need more of guys like that, not less, more
(17:16):
many more. So. If you're young, and you and you
you know, go look at Joel Grover's work. Try to
be like Joel and try to make a difference like
Joel did. And we'll have you on the show anytime
you watch.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Nice to have Joel Grover on. He was the investigative
reporter for NBC and he has left NBC spending more
time with his kids. He's got two kids in high school,
and he's going to come on with us because he
is really done some great work, great great work here
in Los Angeles. All right, the Mega millions. We talked
(17:55):
about this earlier. It's still unclaimed. Somebody has until Sunday
to cash in a ticket bought purchased an Encino at
a Chevron station for one hundred and ninety seven million dollars.
It was purchased last year on December I think it
was December seventh or eighth. I think it was December
(18:15):
eighth in twenty twenty three, and now it expires the
day after tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
To think that somewhere out there someone could be a
mega millionaire.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Take a look.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
One hundred and ninety seven million, five hundred thousand dollars.
That is what that one ticket bought one year ago
on de seventy eighth, twenty twenty three, right here in Encino,
and it still has not been claimed. And this gas station,
it's a Chevron gas station.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
It actually made lot of.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
History in the state of California because for the first
time ever, they sold two winning tickets on the same
day for the jackpot.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Now the suspicious suspicious, I don't know on what level,
by odd really odd? The two tickets were bought at
the same gas station for the same lottery, and both
worth one hundred and ninety seven million dollars.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Now, the first person who won the other ticket, who
has a ticket, that man claimed it back in June.
But this guy or this lady still hasn't come forward
in that line is still out there.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The ticket is still out there. Let's go through our pants,
go through our drawers, find that ticket. If you live
in Insino, sixty six, and you find a way bond
number is twenty six.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Not for the nagamone number that is thirteen.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
A lot say every mondy month he still six six
and the gonna make about the don oh do you
hear that? He said, ding dong at the end, sixty.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Six, twenty six.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You don't want to make about a thirteen.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
And those are the lucky winning numbers.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
In December of last year, that ticket, those two tickets
sold here at the Chevron gas Station I Ventura Boulevard
on the corner of Linley under stond Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It was Linley we suspected last night it was the
Lindley Lea gas station. Linley and Ventura, just on the
border of Tarzana and Encino. About another half block west
of there is Tarzana justin Encino, Linley and Ventura where
(20:16):
the old Mosca Tels used to be. The Surprise Store
used to be there as well. Now I think it's
all just you know, office buildings or Starbucks. But somebody
has a ticket where the one hundred ninety seven million
dollars and you have about forty eight hours to claim
corner of Linley.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
On December the eighth, again one of.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Those tickets was claimed back in June. That person took
home they're one hundred and ninety seven five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
But the other ticket has not claimed.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Now what happens to the money that we're all asking?
What happens that money if it's not claimed, has.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Been claimed and time is running out. You have until tomorrow,
Saturday at eleven fifty nine pm to submit your winning
ticket and your claim. If you don't claim it, the
ticket is worthless and all of that money will go
to the California school System because the law of course
benefits schools in California.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
So that's a win win for the school system.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
But it's a lose lose for the person who bought
the ticket and maybe didn't check their numbers or lost it.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Doesn't know where it is anymore.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
So if you were at the Incigno gas station here
the Chevron, I've been Trent literally in December of last year,
and you still have some tickets laying around, please check them.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
You have until tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh my god, the clock is ticking. Please check those tickets.
Go through old boxes, old pants. Maybe it's in a
pair of pants you have in the closet somewhere, an
old jacket. But if I haven't been to that gas station.
I used to live fairly close to that gas station,
and if I still lived over there, it would drive
(21:47):
me crazy because I've been to that chevron. That's where
I used to buy my gas. I used to literally
live on Enfield near Ventura, which is two blocks east
of where that gas station is, and I used to
go to that get station all the time, all the time.
And now that ticket is going to be worth nothing
(22:09):
come Sunday. Nothing. So if you have a grandmother or
grandfather who live in that area, maybe they buy tickets
they forgot about it, Go to their home, bust into
their home or use a key whatever, and get into
their home and look through all of their crap, all
of their stuff. It could be one hundred and ninety
(22:31):
seven and a half million dollars. So get on it tonight,
don't wait tonight tomorrow before sundown.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from

to talk to us.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
Direction, which what should they do as far as an
alternate out.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Excellent question, Annabel, because you're gonna be stuck here for
quite some time if you take this westbound one oh five,
so your best alternates are gonna be Imperial Highway to
the north or Rosecrans to the south.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
All right, Eleana, thank you very much for all right.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
LA Shares Department Motorcycle deputy, crash Angel. What's going on

Yeah, I believe I you know what.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I'm gonna double check double we'll come back say anything.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh you got it, all right, but it just literally
just happened. Channel four is on top of it. LA
Shares Department Motorcycle officer down on the one oh five
freeway and we're going to get you all the details immediately.
So if you're stuck in that traffic, we're gonna have
a lot of information for you moment Tarily. A big
shout out to Warren Floyd Bouder b A U D E. R.
(23:58):
And He was born December fifth, nineteen twenty one, nineteen
twenty one, out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At He died at
age one oh two on October nineteenth of this year.
He was one hundred and two years old. He was
in the US Air Force. He was a second lieutenant
(24:20):
and he was with the Eighth Air Force, Eighth Air Force,
forty fourth Bomb Group in the five hundred and six Squadron.
I believe this in World War two. Yes, World War two.
He was shot down on May eleventh, nineteen forty four.
The fate of the crew four captured immediately immediately, two
(24:43):
of them hospitalized, three evaded capture, and three evaders were
then eventually captured and one of those sent was sent
to Butchenwald. I don't know where that is, but this
is an unbelievable man. He was captured on July fourth,
nineteen forty four, taken to Paris where he was held
(25:06):
and then eventually released. Even has what box guard transport
he was in. So there's a lot of information on
this hero. This is an unbelievable story, and he recently
passed one hundred and three years old. So to all
(25:26):
the family members of veteran Warren Bowder. What a life.
What a life? I again, born on back in twoenty
twenty one, I'm sorry, nineteen twenty one, nineteen twenty one,
December fifth, same birthday as my brother, December fifth, nineteen
twenty one, and passed away on October nineteenth of this year.
(25:51):
So what a hell of a life this man lived
and got to see it all, was shot down World
War two, fought for the un id States and the
freedom of the world. That's a great guy. That's a
great guy. And so his family wanted to wanted us
to give a quick shout out, and we would more
than happy to do that. What a tremendous life this
(26:13):
man had, So please remember him. Veteran Warren f Powder.
All right, Angel Martinez, do you have more information on
this crash?
Speaker 10 (26:21):
I absolutely do so in Ileana Mareno, I think she's
in news Bravo.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Bravo with NBC.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yes, I believe, right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
Anyway, she's telling me that the eastbound sides of the
one oh five at Downey Avenue or Downey Road are open,
but everybody's slowing down to take a look at the crash.
Now the crash is on the westbound side just before
Downey Avenue and that is off limits currently and chammed
(26:53):
up from the one from the six to oh five,
So it's just a huge mess there and all in
it for westbound travel. Bail off the freeway before you can.
A lot of people are hitting the one oh five
westbound from that south six to oh five. An Imperial
Highway right now is an excellent option for you. That's
just to the north of the one o five, to
(27:14):
the south of the one oh five. From Woodruff you
can take Foster Road instead, but huge delays, especially on
that westbound side. It's just stopping up from the six
to oh five currently. And if you are heading south
six oh five to the west one o five, there's
an off ramp to go to exit at Imperial Highway
and that's going to save you a boatload of time.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Okay. And is this is this between the six oh
five and the seven ten? Is that where that accident is?
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Yes, it's between the six oh five and the seven ten,
right exactly there. So yeah, right in that area downy
Holly Dale. Uh what else is in that stratech Paramount?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Okay, excellent. Yeah, it's a big good kiser per Entai
out there too. All right, we'll keep an eye on that.
Thank you, Angel Martinez, the one oh five. I a
mess with these with this officer down from the LA
Sheriff's department. So when more news comes in on that,
we will have that for you. All right, Let's talk
(28:18):
a little bit. It's something a little easier here. It is.
I know Sharon Bellio is a major, major Taylor Swift fan.
I don't know if she consider herself a Swifty or not.
I am you are, okay, I'd go there, all right,
So this is an end of an era tour.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Bella is also end of the end of the era's tour.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yes, Belly, you're a big fan. You're a big Taylor
Swift fan.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I appreciate her music. It's very nostalgic for me.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, all right. Maybe you went through some problems and
she's sort of sang saying about your problems something like that.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Maybe when I was like ten years old and not
super into her.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Did you ever see her in concert?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
No, no, never, I'm not I'm not a true Swifty.
I can't give myself that title.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Okay, all right, all right, Well let's find a little
more information here. This is the end end of the
big tour for Taylor Swist. Welcome to the Era's Tour
this morning.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
It's the end of an Era music superstar Taylor Swift's
wildly successful Eras World tour officially coming to a close
this weekend with three stops in Vancouver, Canada.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Wow, you're making me right now.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
The fourteen time Grammy winner performing one hundred and fifty
two shows in fifty four cities across five continents to
six million people who bought tickets for the tour, making
it the highest grossing tour in history, with an expected
two billion dollars in sales during its two year run.
What two billion dollars in sales during its two year run?
(29:49):
Holy smokes, But this tour has been extraordinary for another reason.
It was a rebirth of sorts, coming out of a pandemic,
ushering in a new kind of concert, an all family affair,
putting kindness and inclusivity first.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
This was such a big tour that it had a
positive effect on the economy with every city that had
stopped in. Every city saw a boom in hotels and restaurants,
rented cars, flights, tickets, all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Yeah, they estimated seven billion dollars worth.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
The Eiras tour really fostered this sense of community in
a lot of ways, and it really brought all different
types of people together in celebration of their favorite pop.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Star, fans connecting through friendship bracelets. Inspired by this lyric
trend taking on a life of its own.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Oh my god, you don't have to.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
It's karma at its best. Twelve year old Elli has
collected fifteen hundred bracelets from Swifties.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Seems like a lot? Does seem like a lot?
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Twelve year old Ellie has collected fifteen hundred bracelets from
Swifties all over the world.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Bella, do you have any friendship bracelets?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I have a.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Few that one of our listeners.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Made that right, okay, And she says swift push of
inclusivity changed her life.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I haven't really.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Felt like I fit in and Sandor's really helped me
push through all of that.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
She didn't really have a lot of friends, which started
this journey, and it just was so beautiful for other
people to see.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Like her in the way we saw her.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
After the Vienna concerts were canceled due to a thwarted
terrorist plot. Undeterred, fans took to the streets of the
city holding their own mini concerts. This little girl who
had tickets for one of those shows later surprised with
new tickets from her grandfather.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Oh right, my God for Friday Night and I like
your name. We appreciated that Taylor kept us all safe,
but it was kind.
Speaker 11 (31:59):
Of heart breaking through you know, she what did you do?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I hush, yeah, shake it off.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
And while the tour may be coming to an end,
it could signal the beginning of a new kind of
concert experience.
Speaker 11 (32:14):
Everywhere she really has presented and almost required in some ways,
this kindness of her fans.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And there was an unbelievable tour. I mean everybody talked
about that for the last two years. Everywhere she went,
that was the big story. So it's coming to an end.
She'll probably take a year off or so two years
off and then crank it up again, all right. Bellio
