Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right, we've
got a lot of other news going on. We've got
a guy who works for he's retired, worked for the
bomb squad. His name is John Shaky Hands Hanson. I
(00:20):
have an odd name for him, dude involved in disarming bombs.
But he's got a theory on these drones that we're
all seeing. So we'll get to him at around five fifteen.
And then Alex Michaelson five point thirty five. What a
packed week er hour, I should say, unbelievable, unreal. All right,
(00:44):
a lot of people are worried about prices of everything, housing,
car insurance, gasoline, electricity, water, natural gas, taxes. Everything seems
to be going up, nothing comes down anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well, guess what.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Starbucks, Dutch Brothers, Coffee Bean and tea leaf, whatever that
thing is. Everybody's going up. Prices of coffee are going
through the road.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Trouble brewing for coffee drinkers. Coffee roasters are said to
hike prices early next year after bad weather affected crops
in Brazil. Global prices for raw coffee sword to record
highs this week, up eighty percent so far this year.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What raw coffee up eighty percent.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Up eighty percent so far this year, the owner of
Pete's Coffee saying it's raising prices by thirty percent in
Brazil due to climate issues. It comes as a new
inflation report shows the largest increase in overall consumer prices
in seven months.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
We've been making nice progress on inflation. That progress has
now seemed to.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Stall, so for the second consecutive month, we're seeing this uptick,
slight uptick in prices.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Overall. The Consumer Price Index, which tracks the cost of
goods and services in the US, increase zero point three
percent last month. Grocery prices and hotel rates driving the increase.
But it's not all bad news.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh, we got some good news. A right, lay it
on us.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
What Americans are paying in rent rose by the smallest
amount since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Okay, but it still went up. That's not good news.
I thought you were going to tell his price for
coming down on stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And inflation on car insurance is also slowing down.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
We care about this report really for two reasons.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
First, because it tells us where prices are going into
the holidays.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
And because it will signal what the FED does with
interest rates.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The FED meets next week and it's expected to cut
interest rates by another quarter.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Point, right, okay, quarter point. That's a big deal. I
hope that keeps coming down. That would be cool.
Speaker 9 (02:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We have a When I was younger, we used to
got a whale watching not used to. I mean I've
been like three or four times. But you go to
San Pedro, get there early, like at six in the morning,
You get on a boat with forty strangers, and then
you go out and you hope to see whales. And
every time I've gone out, we've seen whales. So I
don't know how they find them and hunt for them
(03:00):
and pick them up on sonar, radar, whatever. But one
of the cool things you can do in southern California,
And if you've not done it, I recommend taking a
day and doing it. Going out whale watching is one
of the coolest things you could ever possibly do because
you're not going to a zoo, you're not going to
sea world. You're seeing them in their own, you know,
natural habitat Cruzier.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Have you ever been whale watching? No, Oh, you gotta go.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
It was always one of those things where where if
the opportunity ever came up, my thought was, I don't
want to waste my time if we don't find none.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, you'll find whales.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
They find whales, especially now in the mating season, and
they're all you know, either going south or nothing's going
south for the winter.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I did say, I did hear earlier this week I
saw a report that said they they're around much later
than they usually are this year.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Oh is that right by now?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
They would already have gone south, like around September October
they usually would have gone south. But they're in plentiful
supply apparently for some reason up here now.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, they're They're all over the place. It really is
a cool deal, all right. Whale watching everybody.
Speaker 10 (04:00):
When some Davies Locker in Newport landing whale watching groups
first got a glimpse of this humpback whale off of
the Orange County coast, they didn't notice how much trouble
it was in.
Speaker 11 (04:12):
Our wheel watching boats.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Had actually been watching it for over a week and
didn't realize it was entangled until it breached on Sunday,
and then we noticed a big line wrapped around the
right pectoral fin and through the mouth.
Speaker 10 (04:26):
Some of these still pictures would later highlight just how
serious the situation is.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
And the photos you can see that line is really
tight around the fin and it's a very hard entanglement
to remove.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
For It's impossible, man, It really is impossible to get
these ropes off. You gotta be able to find the
whale again and then to get close enough to take
those ropes and wire off.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's gonna be a real challenge.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
For disentanglement teams. The fear is that it will become
so tight around the whales pecked that it might end
up in an amputation. It could prevent the whale from feeding.
It definitely will slow them down and make them sick,
so hopefully that it will become disentangled at some point.
Speaker 10 (05:16):
A stranding coordinator from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
who is involved in trying to help the whale tells
us this entanglement is a difficult one because the line
is right by the whale's eye and when the whale
sees the knife coming as they try to cut it,
the whale dives away.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Oh no, this is going to be a tough one. Really,
a tough one, and.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It is dangerous.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
This whale is mad, it is not happy, it is entangled.
It has been very active near the coast, and it's
just a heartbreaking thing to see.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, you got to get the specialists from SeaWorld. They're
good at stuff like this.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Now.
Speaker 10 (05:54):
A gentleman from Noah that we heard from says the
whale has not been seen since Tuesday, and some of
the other folks involved tell us that if they cannot
find the whale and help it, they're hoping the whale
can help itself by disentangling that cable or mine that
it's around.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, or show up at at an urgent care.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They'll take that sucker right off. All right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We've got an update on this fire, the fire out
in Malibu. They're calling it the Franklin Fire, and it
looks like they've got a pretty good containment on it
and hopefully all the businesses and all the streets open
up sometime in the next three or four days.
Speaker 12 (06:37):
Cooler weather and higher humidity levels are helping fire crews
make progress on the Franklin Fire in Malibu. The fire
that started Monday is now thirty percent contained. So far,
it's burned more than four thousand acres and destroyed six homes.
Another ten homes have been damaged. Malibu schools remain closed today. Meanwhile,
about thirty seven hundred people have been allowed to return
(06:59):
home after some evacuation orders were downgraded.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, it looks I would say, in the next three
or four days everything will be back to normal out
there and those businesses can open up again. And it's
it's horrible timing because a lot of those businesses out there,
the shops in Malibu, they rely on holiday money and
holiday buying to stay afloat, and they've got to make
their you know, their cash in the late late weeks
(07:24):
of November, early weeks of December, and for them to
have been closed for a week and maybe another, you know,
a couple of days really hurts the bottom line out there.
And so hopefully that opens up and the shops out
there can open up again. The restaurants they're also open
out of you know, business for a long time, and
they lost a lot of food, a lot of the
restaurants when the electricity went out, they lost everything. So
(07:48):
the high end Italian restaurants or steakhouses out there, they
lost all the meat, they lost all the pasta. They
lost all the you know, a lot of the refrigerated ingredients,
and it's become a real nightmare for people out at Malibu.
So hopefully they can open it up soon and people
can get back out there and spend a few bucks.
But what a nightmare that they've had two of those
(08:08):
fires in the last five six years. When was the
Wolsey fire, I think that was twenty eighteen. Two radical
fires in the last five or six years have come
through Malibu, and yet people still go out there, and
they still live out there, because it is spectacular. If
you've never been to Malibu, once the shop's open and
(08:29):
the streets open up, slide out there and you'll see
instantly why people want to live there. It is spectacular
in Malibu, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
All right, well, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
We're going to have some more information here on our
grocery prices. I know a lot of people are worried
about that. Over the holidays, we talked about our prices
of coffee, but grocery prices, how are they going to
bring them down? Trump now says bringing down grocery prices
is a priority. Let's see how that's going to happen.
(09:02):
Let's see what he's promised and how they're going.
Speaker 11 (09:04):
To do that.
Speaker 13 (09:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I noticed that when you go to shopping, whether you
at at a grocery store or at a department store,
everyone seems to be in a better mood.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
The year's coming to an end. Kind of a crazy
year politically, a lot of people at each other's throats,
and I think we're all sort of ignoring that now
and just concentrating on family, which is what we should
be doing throughout the year. But we sometimes forget so
prices on things. Everybody's worried about the prices now. Trump
(09:40):
says bringing down grocery prices as he promised is a priority,
but it might be difficult. Well, that's not what we
want to hear. We want prices to come down and
for it to be easy.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Tonight, President Elect Donald Trump basking in the glow on
Wall Street, ringing the bell at the New York Stock
Exchange for the first time. Yeah, dig dong with that bell,
surrounded by his wife, daughter's Vice President elect JD. Vance,
and a host of his cabinet picks. Trump celebrating being
named Time Magazine's Person of the Year, a recognition.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
People still read Time magazine. I don't know anybody that
gets Time magazine, Nobody, nobody.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
A recognition He's long cherished.
Speaker 14 (10:22):
It's been an honor, and every time it's an honor,
I will tell you and thank you very much for
doing it.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
On Wall Street, Trump pledging his commitment to Main Street,
promising to deliver on his campaign promise to bring down
prices fast.
Speaker 14 (10:35):
Prices are going to start coming down because people can't
afford their groceries right, and they're going to be affording
their groceries very soon.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
But in his interview with Time, Trump was asked if
his presidency would be a failure if the prices of
groceries don't go down.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yes, yes, I think yes.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I don't think so. He said, it's hard to bring
things down once they're up. It's very hard. But I
think that they will.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
There's nothing political about national scaring.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
On Capitol Hill today, Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete
haig Seth, meeting for the first time with a Democratic Senator,
John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
All right, is probably one of the only cats that
wiled or may vote in favor.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Fetterman tight lipped.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Are you considering voting for it?
Speaker 11 (11:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So it's just like it's a conversation.
Speaker 15 (11:18):
Are you always supporting him?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Senator haig Seth has been battling accusations of sexual misconduct,
excessive drinking, and financial mismanagement.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Wow, that's what a resume.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Hag Seth has been battling accusations of sexual misconduct, excessive drinking,
and financial mismanagement. He's denied it all.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay, speaking of excessive drinking, we have Johnny has shaky
hands Hansen from the La County Sheriff's Department X bomb
squad member, shake hands?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
How you Bob?
Speaker 9 (11:49):
I'm good, buddy.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
How you been.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I've been doing excellent. It sounds like you're driving somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Is that true?
Speaker 15 (11:57):
We just left them all do a little shoplifting.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And now how many years? How many years were you
at the bomb squad? La County Sheriff's Department.
Speaker 15 (12:07):
I was at the bomb squad ten years Sheriff's Department
total of thirty five.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay, and the bomb squad you have to be right
every single.
Speaker 15 (12:15):
Time, every just like in a marriage, You're right every
single time, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What is your theory, Since you have a lot of
experience in the profession, what is your theory about these drones?
Why are we seeing them and why should we be
concerned about them?
Speaker 15 (12:35):
My theory is they are doing some testing with payload.
Uh So our I used to run the drone program
for the Sheriff's Department, and we had we had to
establish protocols for so far and for dignity health as
well as the rose bowl for any drone landing on
(12:56):
the field of play or inside the stadium. So basically,
if we had any if we observed any kind of
payload on this drone, it was treated as a suspicious item,
either a haz matt item or an explosive item. And
then our protocols for that are completely different from.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Just a down drone. Okay, So it sounds like the
directive that New Jersey Fire Department put out they must
have some kind of information that this drone is carrying
a payload. Wow, because those are the exact protocols for
a drone with a payload.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Now again, Johnny Hanson's with US retired La County Sheriff's
bomb squad. Isn't it possible to put up a do
not fly perimeter where you can block the signals from
the remote to the drone in a certain area.
Speaker 15 (13:48):
There there are, but those are limited, like so we
have some of those things around some stadiums, but again,
if this is a military drone our, you know, our
stuff is not really going to affect it. And then
a lot of this they've been reporting over kind of
housing area, civilian housing. So it would be impossible to
(14:12):
put up a large scale, you know, either drone detection
system or drone avoidance system because it's such a vast area.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Right, and it affects probably other signals as well, not
just the drones.
Speaker 15 (14:28):
Yeah, that's the problem. So a lot of those systems
have to be approved by the FAA because a lot
of the wavelength that these drones are flying on affect
other things such as planes, helicopters, other aircraft.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You know, we did it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
We a story yesterday in Irvine that Irvine is you know,
ten to fifteen years ahead of a lot of cities
where they use drones and they send a drone out
to a crime scene and many times the drone gets
there before the cops do, and they can start surveilling immediately.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 15 (15:00):
There are several cities, I know, some of the South
Bay cities, Torrents, Redondo Beach, they have a similar program
and it's pretty successful, especially if you have a drone
ready to launch immediately, and you know, you have a
smaller city such as Burbank, Glendale to Warrance, Fordondo, you
could see immediate, you know, get eyes on that immediately
(15:20):
and start directing in the ground units.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, that's a great asset. That's that's really cool.
Speaker 11 (15:25):
Definitely.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, buddy, I.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Have a great merry Christmas to you and your daughter
and your wife and the whole family.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And we really appreciate you calling.
Speaker 15 (15:36):
All Right, buddy, you need anything, let me know.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
All right, thanks man, all right, there he goes Johnny
Hanson with La County Sheriff's Department retired bomb Squad and
I would run into him down at at Sofi Stadium.
They were in charge of protecting Sofi Stadium. And he
had a dog named Trixie, and that dog was strong
as hell and hyper as hell, and we'd walk around
(15:59):
the stadium and I and I witnessed this firsthand. We
were walking around stadium and there's a twelve year old
girl walking around with a hot dog and this dog,
Tricksy grabbed that dog and polished it before that that
kid even knew it was gone, grabbed that dog out
of that girl's hand. Bang, two bites gone gone, and
(16:22):
I think Johnny ended up having to buy the kid
new dog.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Does Johnny get to keep the dog?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, Johnny was very relieved to give that dog back.
It was it was too hyper. It had to it
was up at all hours. He had to get up
at five am to walk that dog every day. I
think that's why he retired to get rid of that dog.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Is the dog retired? No, the dog's still working dog.
It's still works.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, it's still working and still stealing hot dogs from kids.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Tricksy is the name of that dog.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
I wonder how many times he eye rolled having that dog. Dog.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from kf
I A six.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Every Friday.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
We have our buddy on Alex Michaelson and a little
late today because of I don't know sports or something.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Alex, Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 11 (17:10):
How you bob dang dong.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
What's going on with the scheduling? Why so late today?
Speaker 16 (17:17):
We have a big We have college basketball on Fox tonight,
so they'd move the news into the four pm hour,
so I just had to be on air for that.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So now I'm the very popular Indiana Nebraska game.
Speaker 16 (17:30):
Huh, the big game everybody's talking about and I know
only the best.
Speaker 11 (17:37):
It's the big moment.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But I was watching Fox News last night and it
went right into the Rams game. That's cool that you
guys have the Rams. That must be a huge boost
in your ratings.
Speaker 16 (17:48):
Yeah, well it was.
Speaker 11 (17:50):
It was nice. Yeah. So when whenever there.
Speaker 16 (17:53):
Is a Amazon game and it's it's one of the home
teams in the market, then you were able to put
that on rag or TV. So we won the bidding
for that and we were able to do it, which
I'm sure it was a huge ratings.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Spoo, Now are you a Rams smoking good?
Speaker 10 (18:06):
Isn't it exciting?
Speaker 11 (18:07):
I'm excited about them? All right?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
So you're a Rams fan? You grew up a Rams fan?
Speaker 16 (18:12):
Well, I didn't totally grow up a Rams fan because
we didn't have the Rams here for most of my child.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That's right, Okay, yeah, right, I'm all older.
Speaker 11 (18:19):
Than you become a Rymes fan, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And you're like twenty eight ors whatever you say you aren't,
you know twenty eight. But I was a huge Rams
fan growing up. Then when they went away and I
became an anti Rams fan. Then they came back and
I was like a you know, a girlfriend that broke
up with me and mistreated me, I go running right
back into her arms.
Speaker 16 (18:40):
So you're you're all in all about the Rams now.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And I hate the forty nine ers. I can't stand
the forty nine ers, and I love to watch them lose.
I'd rather watch the forty nine ers lose than the
Rams win.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
Well, And how because whenever the Rams play the forty
nine Ers at Sofi Stadium, the whole stadium is San
Francisco people, And you've been gas so obnoxious and so
for us to go to their stadium and beat them
there so great.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Not only to beat them there, but we beat the
Rams beat them here as well, and swept them for
the first time in twenty three years. How old were
you twenty three years ago?
Speaker 11 (19:18):
I don't I don't even know. I don't know.
Speaker 16 (19:19):
It's too much mass for me. But they haven't they
I know that they haven't a one. Yeah, they haven't
won three games in a row against the Niners, which
they now have done. It's the first time since Court
Warner was the quarterback when they were in Saint Louis.
So it's a it's a good time for the Rams
against them now. Of course, the Niners have had plenty
of injuries this year, so they're not exactly strength.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Not only injuries, well, they also they also have guys
quitting in the middle of the game.
Speaker 16 (19:45):
Yeah, and the and but the But you know, the
Rams had plenty of injuries at the beginning of the season.
They found a way to keep going despite all that.
And now their guys are all getting healthy and getting
back together just at the time when.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
It matters most and perfect.
Speaker 16 (19:58):
Who knows, maybe this team is able to go a run.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
It's exciting.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
We're on a roll, all right. So your girl, I
thought about you today. Your girl got injured in Europe.
What happened in Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 16 (20:10):
My girl, well, according to the New York Times, she
was I think taking a group photo.
Speaker 11 (20:17):
And there were these marbles.
Speaker 16 (20:18):
It was a marble staircase, and she took a fall
and and I don't know if she broke her hip
or fractured or what exactly happened with her hip. But
you know, she's eighty four years old, and so when
you take a fall in your eighties, sometimes, you know,
bad things happen, as we all know with our relatives.
And so she's not going to any of the events
(20:41):
for the rest of the time. She's you know, getting
medical care and hopefully she's you know, back at it
relatively soon.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Right, And again, I'm not trying to be you know,
stupid here or smart or funny or whatever, but are
you close enough where you'll send her a card or flowers?
Speaker 11 (20:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Alright, I'm just checked it, buddy, just checked it. Yeah.
I just want to make sure that we're on the
same page here, all right. What's on the Big Show?
Speaker 16 (21:09):
Ight?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I know you got the issue is very popular program.
Speaker 11 (21:13):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 16 (21:13):
We've got a conversation with Kara Swisher, the big tech
journalist and prolific podcaster, one of the most popular podcasters
talking about tech. So we're talking about Elon Musk and
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and some of these amazing
stories of where artificial intelligence is going. So it's a
bit of a break from politics and talking about the
(21:36):
world of technology and how it impacts all of us.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Do you think Trump lets all the January six ers
out of jail on day one.
Speaker 11 (21:44):
I think he lets a lot of them out.
Speaker 16 (21:46):
Yeah, I think that's part of I think his day
one is going to be insane in terms of the
amount of activity. You know that Trump likes to flood
the zone, and so when there's so much happening, you
things can get through and you don't even it's too
much to pay attention to it once. So I think
you're going to see the January six ers. I think
(22:06):
you're going to see big changes in terms of immigration policy.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
I think you're going to be.
Speaker 16 (22:10):
Seeing changes all across the government. I'm actually going to
be in Washington that day because we're going to cover
the inaugural and they originally going to have me on
a plane ride back that day, and I said to
my bosses, I said, I got to be there for
the first day because there's going to be so much
that happens on day one, we're going to want to
be there to cover that. So I think that first
day is going to be insane.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Does your does kt TV have the clout and the
poll to get you inside the press room or inside
the White House?
Speaker 16 (22:38):
Does kt TV or does do I have.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Do you have it?
Speaker 11 (22:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 16 (22:44):
I mean I think we'll we'll.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
I'm going to try.
Speaker 16 (22:47):
I remember being there, you know, when the Obama to
Trump transition happened, and I did go in the in
the press room then I was working for ABC back then.
Speaker 11 (22:58):
But I'm going to try.
Speaker 16 (22:59):
I think it would be fascinating to be there, and
to report live from the White House would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You know, last time I remember you there, you were uncomfortable.
But are you going to be more comfortable this time?
Wearing your Maga hat?
Speaker 16 (23:13):
You know, it seems like it's loud and proud now.
The crazy thing remember that Curb episode where Larry David
wore the Maga hat in order to have nobody bother
him in La Eddie got like great parking spots and
great tables and all the rest because nobody wanted to
be near him. It seems like that has changed now.
(23:34):
There are legitimately a lot of people in southern California
that are wearing their Maga hats proudly and getting high
fives for it.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
And the dynamics and even.
Speaker 16 (23:44):
Some of the most liberal cities has changed. Obviously, Donald
Trump is not the most popular person in Los Angeles,
but there's a whole lot of people that felt embarrassed
showcasing their support years ago or the last time around
that now seemed to be very excited to showcase it publicly.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
There was an old joke on why Maga fans never
wear their Maga hat backwards because they want to see
the guy that's going to kick his ass.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Pretty music, pretty music, all right, So that's one.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I'd like to go to this as well. I'd like
to go to I've never been to an inauguration. What
time does he take over? By the way, is it
early in the afternoon noon?
Speaker 16 (24:24):
And it's like in Britain and the Constitution at noon exactly,
so they'll take the oaths right then. Yeah, you should come,
We should do we should do some stuff out there
with that guy.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
That would be great.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, I would love to go. I'm looking at airfare
right now. It's still expensive. You know, it's the week
before and the week after it's like two hundred bucks
round trip, but that week it's like twelve hundred bucks.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
Yeah, it's history.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, and I don't know how many more I have left.
And it's going to be crazy. I mean, everybody in
the world's going to be watching it. And he's even
invited you know, what's his from China?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The president, the head of Pinging be there. Do you think.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
He's accepted the invitation? But but he invited him? That
would be amazing, Uh what I mean, why not? Yeah?
Speaker 16 (25:15):
Yeah, I think he's there. I mean in the US
and China for everything that everybody, you know, all the
problems between the two countries are so linked to each
other financially that they both need each other for so
many reasons that Jijiping has a lot of reasons to
show up here, just like you know, Trump has reason
to show up to China.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
That's right, That's exactly right. And proof of that.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
About four or five years ago, there was a video
that went around where a kid got fifteen gifts from
Santa and separated him by which ones were made in
America and which ones were made in China, and it
was fourteen to one China.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
Mm. Yeah, lots of so buy.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I appreciate coming on, have a happy Honika, Merry Christmas,
whatever you guys, you know, observe and appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas to you.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 16 (26:10):
So, I guess this is our last appearance together for
the new year, because you're taking off. So I might
wish you all the best of your family.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I'll be around though, I'll uh, you know, I'll be
at the I'll be some place where you'll never find me. Walmart,
Dan Anita, Oh yeah, bye.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I appreciate you coming on. Have a nice day and
nice weekend and happy holidays.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
There he goes Alex Michaelson with the issue is tonight
at ten thirty Good show. Check it out, tape it,
record it and then watch it later or don't.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It's up to you.
Speaker 13 (26:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
A big shout out or I guess I'm shouting out.
My daughter's corrected that it's not. We're not giving a
s we're shouting somebody out. I guess there's a way
to do that. Are you going to shout him out?
Not give him a shout out? But George McNee, you know,
Mike McNee is a sales guy I've known forever. I
(27:12):
used to work with him at KXLES. I worked with
him here at KFI before. We went to the same
college together, when same high school together. I've known this guy,
Mike McNee my whole life, went to the same kindergarten.
I've known this guy since those three and he works
here at KFI and his beautiful dad, George McGee. George
McNee listens to the show. Huge fan of KFI. So, George,
(27:38):
you raised the perfect son. Everybody in the world would
be proud to have a son like Mike McNee. Always
level headed, I've never seen that. I've known the guy
for forty years, almost fifty years, never seen him pissed once.
Always happy, always happy, go lucky, always positive. And it's
really tough to do in today's world, really tough to
(28:01):
do in with how much you know crap you have
to deal with on a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yet that is a solid guy.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
And and George, if he's still listening, or if he's
listening at all, the only thing that people judge you
for at the end of your life. And I think
Jacqueline on Nassas or Jackie Kennedy then Jackie O NASAs
said this, the only thing that people judge you for
at the end of your life is how you raised
your kids. That's the only that's the only bar that
(28:32):
they look at and the only the only thing they
They don't care if you own the Lakers at the end,
or if you own the Dodgers or a strip ball,
or you're a homeless whatever, whatever your your life is.
At the end, it doesn't matter how many cars you have,
how many planes you have, how much money you have.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It's how you raised your kids, and.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That Mike McNee was beautifully raised and that George mcne
should write a book on how to do that. That's
impossible to do, impossible, I know the dad.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It's hard every day.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You gotta work on it. No handbook that comes with it.
You got to fly by the seat of your pants
and take a guess at everything. And it's very difficult
to do, very very difficult, all right. The DMV is
apologizing over license plate mocking October seven.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
How about this screw up?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
California.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
DMV says it is taking swift action after it issued
a license plate mocking the October seventh, twenty twenty three
terrorist attack on Israel. The group Stop Anti Semitism posted
this picture to social media on Thursday. It says the
plate was seen at the intersection of Jefferson and to
Pulta Boulevards in Culver City. It reads lol October seven.
(29:49):
The DMV apolished.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
About that screw up. You know, somebody wasn't keeping an
eye on the internet.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Pulltabule of ards in Culver City. It reads lol October seventh.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Wow, wow, oh wow, And nobody like investigated that. Nobody said, hey,
what's that all about? And maybe put October seventh. You know,
if you go, I'm on Google right now. If I
put October October seventh, okay, and I hit enter, the
first thing that comes up is the anniversary of the
October seventh attack. The second thing that comes up, what's
(30:19):
significant about October seventh?
Speaker 11 (30:21):
Why?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What special day is October seventh? What happened on October
Seventh's it's all right there in front of you, and
somebody in the DMV missed it, missed it. The first
thing it comes up is Wikipedia and you click on
it and there's probably thirty five pages of what happened
(30:42):
on October seventh. So somebody missed it. Somebody missed it,
and then the people had to see that license plate.
You imagine that you had the son or daughter involved
in that, and you looked over and somebody has a
license plate that says lol October seventh, and.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
What happened? What happened to people? I don't know. I
don't know, all right, Speka, what happened to people?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
A couple went to from California, went to Mexico on
vacation and they were shot.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
We're learning a California couple has been shot and killed
while on vacation in western Mexico. The Michuacan Prosecutor's Office
as this happened in the town of angamaku Tiro, that's
about a halfway between Porta Vara and Mexico City. The
victims have been identified as fifty three year old Rafael
Cardona and fifty year old Gloria Ambriz, the brother and
(31:41):
sister in law of the mayor there. The couple arrived
in late November to spend the holidays with family. Now
we don't know yet which part of California they are from.
This comes after several high profile killings and abductions in
the area by drug gangs.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It's it's rough out there, it's rough out there, and
didn't seem to be getting better. Just we always hear about,
you know, crime going down, and crime stats are down.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Maybe it'll be better now with the new DA possibly, possibly,
but there's crime everywhere. This Luigi Mangioni. Prosecutors are are
taking the case against him to a grand jury. This
is the guy that killed Brian Thompson in the streets
of New York. We could go Wednesday. It was last
Wednesday morning, this happened.
Speaker 17 (32:28):
The young man charged with murdering Brian Thompson was never
a client of United Healthcare, but police say they're investigating
whether Luigi Manngioni targeted the company because of its size.
The company tells ABC News Brian Thompson's killer was not
a member of United Healthcare. The NYPD tailing NBC New York.
Manchioni did, however, mention it's the fifth largest corporation in America.
Speaker 12 (32:50):
We anticipate that before very long he'll be brought back
to New York where he needs to be.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Okay, well, we'll come back. We'll finish up with this.
This is a story or that just doesn't end. It
is gotten the attention worldwide, and we'll come back with
some more details on this It's The Conway Show live
right here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can always hear
(33:16):
us live on KFI AM six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeartRadio app
It's KFI AM sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right, we've
got a lot of other news going on. We've got
a guy who works for he's retired, worked for the
bomb squad. His name is John Shaky Hands Hanson. I
(00:20):
have an odd name for him, dude involved in disarming bombs.
But he's got a theory on these drones that we're
all seeing. So we'll get to him at around five fifteen.
And then Alex Michaelson five point thirty five. What a
packed week er hour, I should say, unbelievable, unreal. All right,
(00:44):
a lot of people are worried about prices of everything, housing,
car insurance, gasoline, electricity, water, natural gas, taxes. Everything seems
to be going up, nothing comes down anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well, guess what.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Starbucks, Dutch Brothers, Coffee Bean and tea leaf, whatever that
thing is. Everybody's going up. Prices of coffee are going
through the road.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Trouble brewing for coffee drinkers. Coffee roasters are said to
hike prices early next year after bad weather affected crops
in Brazil. Global prices for raw coffee sword to record
highs this week, up eighty percent so far this year.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What raw coffee up eighty percent.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Up eighty percent so far this year, the owner of
Pete's Coffee saying it's raising prices by thirty percent in
Brazil due to climate issues. It comes as a new
inflation report shows the largest increase in overall consumer prices
in seven months.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
We've been making nice progress on inflation. That progress has
now seemed to.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Stall, so for the second consecutive month, we're seeing this uptick,
slight uptick in prices.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Overall. The Consumer Price Index, which tracks the cost of
goods and services in the US, increase zero point three
percent last month. Grocery prices and hotel rates driving the increase.
But it's not all bad news.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh, we got some good news. A right, lay it
on us.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
What Americans are paying in rent rose by the smallest
amount since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Okay, but it still went up. That's not good news.
I thought you were going to tell his price for
coming down on stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And inflation on car insurance is also slowing down.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
We care about this report really for two reasons.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
First, because it tells us where prices are going into
the holidays.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
And because it will signal what the FED does with
interest rates.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The FED meets next week and it's expected to cut
interest rates by another quarter.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Point, right, okay, quarter point. That's a big deal. I
hope that keeps coming down. That would be cool.
Speaker 9 (02:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We have a When I was younger, we used to
got a whale watching not used to. I mean I've
been like three or four times. But you go to
San Pedro, get there early, like at six in the morning,
You get on a boat with forty strangers, and then
you go out and you hope to see whales. And
every time I've gone out, we've seen whales. So I
don't know how they find them and hunt for them
(03:00):
and pick them up on sonar, radar, whatever. But one
of the cool things you can do in southern California,
And if you've not done it, I recommend taking a
day and doing it. Going out whale watching is one
of the coolest things you could ever possibly do because
you're not going to a zoo, you're not going to
sea world. You're seeing them in their own, you know,
natural habitat Cruzier.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Have you ever been whale watching? No, Oh, you gotta go.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
It was always one of those things where where if
the opportunity ever came up, my thought was, I don't
want to waste my time if we don't find none.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, you'll find whales.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
They find whales, especially now in the mating season, and
they're all you know, either going south or nothing's going
south for the winter.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I did say, I did hear earlier this week I
saw a report that said they they're around much later
than they usually are this year.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Oh is that right by now?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
They would already have gone south, like around September October
they usually would have gone south. But they're in plentiful
supply apparently for some reason up here now.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, they're They're all over the place. It really is
a cool deal, all right. Whale watching everybody.
Speaker 10 (04:00):
When some Davies Locker in Newport landing whale watching groups
first got a glimpse of this humpback whale off of
the Orange County coast, they didn't notice how much trouble
it was in.
Speaker 11 (04:12):
Our wheel watching boats.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Had actually been watching it for over a week and
didn't realize it was entangled until it breached on Sunday,
and then we noticed a big line wrapped around the
right pectoral fin and through the mouth.
Speaker 10 (04:26):
Some of these still pictures would later highlight just how
serious the situation is.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
And the photos you can see that line is really
tight around the fin and it's a very hard entanglement
to remove.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
For It's impossible, man, It really is impossible to get
these ropes off. You gotta be able to find the
whale again and then to get close enough to take
those ropes and wire off.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's gonna be a real challenge.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
For disentanglement teams. The fear is that it will become
so tight around the whales pecked that it might end
up in an amputation. It could prevent the whale from feeding.
It definitely will slow them down and make them sick,
so hopefully that it will become disentangled at some point.
Speaker 10 (05:16):
A stranding coordinator from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
who is involved in trying to help the whale tells
us this entanglement is a difficult one because the line
is right by the whale's eye and when the whale
sees the knife coming as they try to cut it,
the whale dives away.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Oh no, this is going to be a tough one. Really,
a tough one, and.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It is dangerous.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
This whale is mad, it is not happy, it is entangled.
It has been very active near the coast, and it's
just a heartbreaking thing to see.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, you got to get the specialists from SeaWorld. They're
good at stuff like this.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Now.
Speaker 10 (05:54):
A gentleman from Noah that we heard from says the
whale has not been seen since Tuesday, and some of
the other folks involved tell us that if they cannot
find the whale and help it, they're hoping the whale
can help itself by disentangling that cable or mine that
it's around.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, or show up at at an urgent care.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They'll take that sucker right off. All right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We've got an update on this fire, the fire out
in Malibu. They're calling it the Franklin Fire, and it
looks like they've got a pretty good containment on it
and hopefully all the businesses and all the streets open
up sometime in the next three or four days.
Speaker 12 (06:37):
Cooler weather and higher humidity levels are helping fire crews
make progress on the Franklin Fire in Malibu. The fire
that started Monday is now thirty percent contained. So far,
it's burned more than four thousand acres and destroyed six homes.
Another ten homes have been damaged. Malibu schools remain closed today. Meanwhile,
about thirty seven hundred people have been allowed to return
(06:59):
home after some evacuation orders were downgraded.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, it looks I would say, in the next three
or four days everything will be back to normal out
there and those businesses can open up again. And it's
it's horrible timing because a lot of those businesses out there,
the shops in Malibu, they rely on holiday money and
holiday buying to stay afloat, and they've got to make
their you know, their cash in the late late weeks
(07:24):
of November, early weeks of December, and for them to
have been closed for a week and maybe another, you know,
a couple of days really hurts the bottom line out there.
And so hopefully that opens up and the shops out
there can open up again. The restaurants they're also open
out of you know, business for a long time, and
they lost a lot of food, a lot of the
restaurants when the electricity went out, they lost everything. So
(07:48):
the high end Italian restaurants or steakhouses out there, they
lost all the meat, they lost all the pasta. They
lost all the you know, a lot of the refrigerated ingredients,
and it's become a real nightmare for people out at Malibu.
So hopefully they can open it up soon and people
can get back out there and spend a few bucks.
But what a nightmare that they've had two of those
(08:08):
fires in the last five six years. When was the
Wolsey fire, I think that was twenty eighteen. Two radical
fires in the last five or six years have come
through Malibu, and yet people still go out there, and
they still live out there, because it is spectacular. If
you've never been to Malibu, once the shop's open and
(08:29):
the streets open up, slide out there and you'll see
instantly why people want to live there. It is spectacular
in Malibu, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
All right, well, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
We're going to have some more information here on our
grocery prices. I know a lot of people are worried
about that. Over the holidays, we talked about our prices
of coffee, but grocery prices, how are they going to
bring them down? Trump now says bringing down grocery prices
is a priority. Let's see how that's going to happen.
(09:02):
Let's see what he's promised and how they're going.
Speaker 11 (09:04):
To do that.
Speaker 13 (09:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I noticed that when you go to shopping, whether you
at at a grocery store or at a department store,
everyone seems to be in a better mood.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
The year's coming to an end. Kind of a crazy
year politically, a lot of people at each other's throats,
and I think we're all sort of ignoring that now
and just concentrating on family, which is what we should
be doing throughout the year. But we sometimes forget so
prices on things. Everybody's worried about the prices now. Trump
(09:40):
says bringing down grocery prices as he promised is a priority,
but it might be difficult. Well, that's not what we
want to hear. We want prices to come down and
for it to be easy.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Tonight, President Elect Donald Trump basking in the glow on
Wall Street, ringing the bell at the New York Stock
Exchange for the first time. Yeah, dig dong with that bell,
surrounded by his wife, daughter's Vice President elect JD. Vance,
and a host of his cabinet picks. Trump celebrating being
named Time Magazine's Person of the Year, a recognition.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
People still read Time magazine. I don't know anybody that
gets Time magazine, Nobody, nobody.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
A recognition He's long cherished.
Speaker 14 (10:22):
It's been an honor, and every time it's an honor,
I will tell you and thank you very much for
doing it.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
On Wall Street, Trump pledging his commitment to Main Street,
promising to deliver on his campaign promise to bring down
prices fast.
Speaker 14 (10:35):
Prices are going to start coming down because people can't
afford their groceries right, and they're going to be affording
their groceries very soon.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
But in his interview with Time, Trump was asked if
his presidency would be a failure if the prices of
groceries don't go down.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yes, yes, I think yes.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I don't think so. He said, it's hard to bring
things down once they're up. It's very hard. But I
think that they will.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
There's nothing political about national scaring.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
On Capitol Hill today, Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete
haig Seth, meeting for the first time with a Democratic Senator,
John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
All right, is probably one of the only cats that
wiled or may vote in favor.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Fetterman tight lipped.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Are you considering voting for it?
Speaker 11 (11:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So it's just like it's a conversation.
Speaker 15 (11:18):
Are you always supporting him?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Senator haig Seth has been battling accusations of sexual misconduct,
excessive drinking, and financial mismanagement.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Wow, that's what a resume.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Hag Seth has been battling accusations of sexual misconduct, excessive drinking,
and financial mismanagement. He's denied it all.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay, speaking of excessive drinking, we have Johnny has shaky
hands Hansen from the La County Sheriff's Department X bomb
squad member, shake hands?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
How you Bob?
Speaker 9 (11:49):
I'm good, buddy.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
How you been.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I've been doing excellent. It sounds like you're driving somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Is that true?
Speaker 15 (11:57):
We just left them all do a little shoplifting.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And now how many years? How many years were you
at the bomb squad? La County Sheriff's Department.
Speaker 15 (12:07):
I was at the bomb squad ten years Sheriff's Department
total of thirty five.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay, and the bomb squad you have to be right
every single.
Speaker 15 (12:15):
Time, every just like in a marriage, You're right every
single time, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What is your theory, Since you have a lot of
experience in the profession, what is your theory about these drones?
Why are we seeing them and why should we be
concerned about them?
Speaker 15 (12:35):
My theory is they are doing some testing with payload.
Uh So our I used to run the drone program
for the Sheriff's Department, and we had we had to
establish protocols for so far and for dignity health as
well as the rose bowl for any drone landing on
(12:56):
the field of play or inside the stadium. So basically,
if we had any if we observed any kind of
payload on this drone, it was treated as a suspicious item,
either a haz matt item or an explosive item. And
then our protocols for that are completely different from.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Just a down drone. Okay, So it sounds like the
directive that New Jersey Fire Department put out they must
have some kind of information that this drone is carrying
a payload. Wow, because those are the exact protocols for
a drone with a payload.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Now again, Johnny Hanson's with US retired La County Sheriff's
bomb squad. Isn't it possible to put up a do
not fly perimeter where you can block the signals from
the remote to the drone in a certain area.
Speaker 15 (13:48):
There there are, but those are limited, like so we
have some of those things around some stadiums, but again,
if this is a military drone our, you know, our
stuff is not really going to affect it. And then
a lot of this they've been reporting over kind of
housing area, civilian housing. So it would be impossible to
(14:12):
put up a large scale, you know, either drone detection
system or drone avoidance system because it's such a vast area.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Right, and it affects probably other signals as well, not
just the drones.
Speaker 15 (14:28):
Yeah, that's the problem. So a lot of those systems
have to be approved by the FAA because a lot
of the wavelength that these drones are flying on affect
other things such as planes, helicopters, other aircraft.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You know, we did it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
We a story yesterday in Irvine that Irvine is you know,
ten to fifteen years ahead of a lot of cities
where they use drones and they send a drone out
to a crime scene and many times the drone gets
there before the cops do, and they can start surveilling immediately.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 15 (15:00):
There are several cities, I know, some of the South
Bay cities, Torrents, Redondo Beach, they have a similar program
and it's pretty successful, especially if you have a drone
ready to launch immediately, and you know, you have a
smaller city such as Burbank, Glendale to Warrance, Fordondo, you
could see immediate, you know, get eyes on that immediately
(15:20):
and start directing in the ground units.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, that's a great asset. That's that's really cool.
Speaker 11 (15:25):
Definitely.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, buddy, I.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Have a great merry Christmas to you and your daughter
and your wife and the whole family.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And we really appreciate you calling.
Speaker 15 (15:36):
All Right, buddy, you need anything, let me know.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
All right, thanks man, all right, there he goes Johnny
Hanson with La County Sheriff's Department retired bomb Squad and
I would run into him down at at Sofi Stadium.
They were in charge of protecting Sofi Stadium. And he
had a dog named Trixie, and that dog was strong
as hell and hyper as hell, and we'd walk around
(15:59):
the stadium and I and I witnessed this firsthand. We
were walking around stadium and there's a twelve year old
girl walking around with a hot dog and this dog,
Tricksy grabbed that dog and polished it before that that
kid even knew it was gone, grabbed that dog out
of that girl's hand. Bang, two bites gone gone, and
(16:22):
I think Johnny ended up having to buy the kid
new dog.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Does Johnny get to keep the dog?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, Johnny was very relieved to give that dog back.
It was it was too hyper. It had to it
was up at all hours. He had to get up
at five am to walk that dog every day. I
think that's why he retired to get rid of that dog.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Is the dog retired? No, the dog's still working dog.
It's still works.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, it's still working and still stealing hot dogs from kids.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Tricksy is the name of that dog.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
I wonder how many times he eye rolled having that dog. Dog.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from kf
I A six.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Every Friday.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
We have our buddy on Alex Michaelson and a little
late today because of I don't know sports or something.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Alex, Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 11 (17:10):
How you bob dang dong.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
What's going on with the scheduling? Why so late today?
Speaker 16 (17:17):
We have a big We have college basketball on Fox tonight,
so they'd move the news into the four pm hour,
so I just had to be on air for that.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So now I'm the very popular Indiana Nebraska game.
Speaker 16 (17:30):
Huh, the big game everybody's talking about and I know
only the best.
Speaker 11 (17:37):
It's the big moment.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But I was watching Fox News last night and it
went right into the Rams game. That's cool that you
guys have the Rams. That must be a huge boost
in your ratings.
Speaker 16 (17:48):
Yeah, well it was.
Speaker 11 (17:50):
It was nice. Yeah. So when whenever there.
Speaker 16 (17:53):
Is a Amazon game and it's it's one of the home
teams in the market, then you were able to put
that on rag or TV. So we won the bidding
for that and we were able to do it, which
I'm sure it was a huge ratings.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Spoo, Now are you a Rams smoking good?
Speaker 10 (18:06):
Isn't it exciting?
Speaker 11 (18:07):
I'm excited about them? All right?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
So you're a Rams fan? You grew up a Rams fan?
Speaker 16 (18:12):
Well, I didn't totally grow up a Rams fan because
we didn't have the Rams here for most of my child.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That's right, Okay, yeah, right, I'm all older.
Speaker 11 (18:19):
Than you become a Rymes fan, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And you're like twenty eight ors whatever you say you aren't,
you know twenty eight. But I was a huge Rams
fan growing up. Then when they went away and I
became an anti Rams fan. Then they came back and
I was like a you know, a girlfriend that broke
up with me and mistreated me, I go running right
back into her arms.
Speaker 16 (18:40):
So you're you're all in all about the Rams now.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And I hate the forty nine ers. I can't stand
the forty nine ers, and I love to watch them lose.
I'd rather watch the forty nine ers lose than the
Rams win.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
Well, And how because whenever the Rams play the forty
nine Ers at Sofi Stadium, the whole stadium is San
Francisco people, And you've been gas so obnoxious and so
for us to go to their stadium and beat them
there so great.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Not only to beat them there, but we beat the
Rams beat them here as well, and swept them for
the first time in twenty three years. How old were
you twenty three years ago?
Speaker 11 (19:18):
I don't I don't even know. I don't know.
Speaker 16 (19:19):
It's too much mass for me. But they haven't they
I know that they haven't a one. Yeah, they haven't
won three games in a row against the Niners, which
they now have done. It's the first time since Court
Warner was the quarterback when they were in Saint Louis.
So it's a it's a good time for the Rams
against them now. Of course, the Niners have had plenty
of injuries this year, so they're not exactly strength.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Not only injuries, well, they also they also have guys
quitting in the middle of the game.
Speaker 16 (19:45):
Yeah, and the and but the But you know, the
Rams had plenty of injuries at the beginning of the season.
They found a way to keep going despite all that.
And now their guys are all getting healthy and getting
back together just at the time when.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
It matters most and perfect.
Speaker 16 (19:58):
Who knows, maybe this team is able to go a run.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
It's exciting.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
We're on a roll, all right. So your girl, I
thought about you today. Your girl got injured in Europe.
What happened in Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 16 (20:10):
My girl, well, according to the New York Times, she
was I think taking a group photo.
Speaker 11 (20:17):
And there were these marbles.
Speaker 16 (20:18):
It was a marble staircase, and she took a fall
and and I don't know if she broke her hip
or fractured or what exactly happened with her hip. But
you know, she's eighty four years old, and so when
you take a fall in your eighties, sometimes, you know,
bad things happen, as we all know with our relatives.
And so she's not going to any of the events
(20:41):
for the rest of the time. She's you know, getting
medical care and hopefully she's you know, back at it
relatively soon.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Right, And again, I'm not trying to be you know,
stupid here or smart or funny or whatever, but are
you close enough where you'll send her a card or flowers?
Speaker 11 (20:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Alright, I'm just checked it, buddy, just checked it. Yeah.
I just want to make sure that we're on the
same page here, all right. What's on the Big Show?
Speaker 16 (21:09):
Ight?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I know you got the issue is very popular program.
Speaker 11 (21:13):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 16 (21:13):
We've got a conversation with Kara Swisher, the big tech
journalist and prolific podcaster, one of the most popular podcasters
talking about tech. So we're talking about Elon Musk and
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and some of these amazing
stories of where artificial intelligence is going. So it's a
bit of a break from politics and talking about the
(21:36):
world of technology and how it impacts all of us.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Do you think Trump lets all the January six ers
out of jail on day one.
Speaker 11 (21:44):
I think he lets a lot of them out.
Speaker 16 (21:46):
Yeah, I think that's part of I think his day
one is going to be insane in terms of the
amount of activity. You know that Trump likes to flood
the zone, and so when there's so much happening, you
things can get through and you don't even it's too
much to pay attention to it once. So I think
you're going to see the January six ers. I think
(22:06):
you're going to see big changes in terms of immigration policy.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
I think you're going to be.
Speaker 16 (22:10):
Seeing changes all across the government. I'm actually going to
be in Washington that day because we're going to cover
the inaugural and they originally going to have me on
a plane ride back that day, and I said to
my bosses, I said, I got to be there for
the first day because there's going to be so much
that happens on day one, we're going to want to
be there to cover that. So I think that first
day is going to be insane.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Does your does kt TV have the clout and the
poll to get you inside the press room or inside
the White House?
Speaker 16 (22:38):
Does kt TV or does do I have.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Do you have it?
Speaker 11 (22:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 16 (22:44):
I mean I think we'll we'll.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
I'm going to try.
Speaker 16 (22:47):
I remember being there, you know, when the Obama to
Trump transition happened, and I did go in the in
the press room then I was working for ABC back then.
Speaker 11 (22:58):
But I'm going to try.
Speaker 16 (22:59):
I think it would be fascinating to be there, and
to report live from the White House would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You know, last time I remember you there, you were uncomfortable.
But are you going to be more comfortable this time?
Wearing your Maga hat?
Speaker 16 (23:13):
You know, it seems like it's loud and proud now.
The crazy thing remember that Curb episode where Larry David
wore the Maga hat in order to have nobody bother
him in La Eddie got like great parking spots and
great tables and all the rest because nobody wanted to
be near him. It seems like that has changed now.
(23:34):
There are legitimately a lot of people in southern California
that are wearing their Maga hats proudly and getting high
fives for it.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
And the dynamics and even.
Speaker 16 (23:44):
Some of the most liberal cities has changed. Obviously, Donald
Trump is not the most popular person in Los Angeles,
but there's a whole lot of people that felt embarrassed
showcasing their support years ago or the last time around
that now seemed to be very excited to showcase it publicly.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
There was an old joke on why Maga fans never
wear their Maga hat backwards because they want to see
the guy that's going to kick his ass.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Pretty music, pretty music, all right, So that's one.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I'd like to go to this as well. I'd like
to go to I've never been to an inauguration. What
time does he take over? By the way, is it
early in the afternoon noon?
Speaker 16 (24:24):
And it's like in Britain and the Constitution at noon exactly,
so they'll take the oaths right then. Yeah, you should come,
We should do we should do some stuff out there
with that guy.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
That would be great.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, I would love to go. I'm looking at airfare
right now. It's still expensive. You know, it's the week
before and the week after it's like two hundred bucks
round trip, but that week it's like twelve hundred bucks.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
Yeah, it's history.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, and I don't know how many more I have left.
And it's going to be crazy. I mean, everybody in
the world's going to be watching it. And he's even
invited you know, what's his from China?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The president, the head of Pinging be there. Do you think.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
He's accepted the invitation? But but he invited him? That
would be amazing, Uh what I mean, why not? Yeah?
Speaker 16 (25:15):
Yeah, I think he's there. I mean in the US
and China for everything that everybody, you know, all the
problems between the two countries are so linked to each
other financially that they both need each other for so
many reasons that Jijiping has a lot of reasons to
show up here, just like you know, Trump has reason
to show up to China.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
That's right, That's exactly right. And proof of that.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
About four or five years ago, there was a video
that went around where a kid got fifteen gifts from
Santa and separated him by which ones were made in
America and which ones were made in China, and it
was fourteen to one China.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
Mm. Yeah, lots of so buy.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I appreciate coming on, have a happy Honika, Merry Christmas,
whatever you guys, you know, observe and appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas to you.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 16 (26:10):
So, I guess this is our last appearance together for
the new year, because you're taking off. So I might
wish you all the best of your family.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I'll be around though, I'll uh, you know, I'll be
at the I'll be some place where you'll never find me. Walmart,
Dan Anita, Oh yeah, bye.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I appreciate you coming on. Have a nice day and
nice weekend and happy holidays.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
There he goes Alex Michaelson with the issue is tonight
at ten thirty Good show. Check it out, tape it,
record it and then watch it later or don't.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It's up to you.
Speaker 13 (26:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
A big shout out or I guess I'm shouting out.
My daughter's corrected that it's not. We're not giving a
s we're shouting somebody out. I guess there's a way
to do that. Are you going to shout him out?
Not give him a shout out? But George McNee, you know,
Mike McNee is a sales guy I've known forever. I
(27:12):
used to work with him at KXLES. I worked with
him here at KFI before. We went to the same
college together, when same high school together. I've known this guy,
Mike McNee my whole life, went to the same kindergarten.
I've known this guy since those three and he works
here at KFI and his beautiful dad, George McGee. George
McNee listens to the show. Huge fan of KFI. So, George,
(27:38):
you raised the perfect son. Everybody in the world would
be proud to have a son like Mike McNee. Always
level headed, I've never seen that. I've known the guy
for forty years, almost fifty years, never seen him pissed once.
Always happy, always happy, go lucky, always positive. And it's
really tough to do in today's world, really tough to
(28:01):
do in with how much you know crap you have
to deal with on a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yet that is a solid guy.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
And and George, if he's still listening, or if he's
listening at all, the only thing that people judge you
for at the end of your life. And I think
Jacqueline on Nassas or Jackie Kennedy then Jackie O NASAs
said this, the only thing that people judge you for
at the end of your life is how you raised
your kids. That's the only that's the only bar that
(28:32):
they look at and the only the only thing they
They don't care if you own the Lakers at the end,
or if you own the Dodgers or a strip ball,
or you're a homeless whatever, whatever your your life is.
At the end, it doesn't matter how many cars you have,
how many planes you have, how much money you have.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It's how you raised your kids, and.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That Mike McNee was beautifully raised and that George mcne
should write a book on how to do that. That's
impossible to do, impossible, I know the dad.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It's hard every day.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You gotta work on it. No handbook that comes with it.
You got to fly by the seat of your pants
and take a guess at everything. And it's very difficult
to do, very very difficult, all right. The DMV is
apologizing over license plate mocking October seven.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
How about this screw up?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
California.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
DMV says it is taking swift action after it issued
a license plate mocking the October seventh, twenty twenty three
terrorist attack on Israel. The group Stop Anti Semitism posted
this picture to social media on Thursday. It says the
plate was seen at the intersection of Jefferson and to
Pulta Boulevards in Culver City. It reads lol October seven.
(29:49):
The DMV apolished.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
About that screw up. You know, somebody wasn't keeping an
eye on the internet.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Pulltabule of ards in Culver City. It reads lol October seventh.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Wow, wow, oh wow, And nobody like investigated that. Nobody said, hey,
what's that all about? And maybe put October seventh. You know,
if you go, I'm on Google right now. If I
put October October seventh, okay, and I hit enter, the
first thing that comes up is the anniversary of the
October seventh attack. The second thing that comes up, what's
(30:19):
significant about October seventh?
Speaker 11 (30:21):
Why?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What special day is October seventh? What happened on October
Seventh's it's all right there in front of you, and
somebody in the DMV missed it, missed it. The first
thing it comes up is Wikipedia and you click on
it and there's probably thirty five pages of what happened
(30:42):
on October seventh. So somebody missed it. Somebody missed it,
and then the people had to see that license plate.
You imagine that you had the son or daughter involved
in that, and you looked over and somebody has a
license plate that says lol October seventh, and.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
What happened? What happened to people? I don't know. I
don't know, all right, Speka, what happened to people?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
A couple went to from California, went to Mexico on
vacation and they were shot.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
We're learning a California couple has been shot and killed
while on vacation in western Mexico. The Michuacan Prosecutor's Office
as this happened in the town of angamaku Tiro, that's
about a halfway between Porta Vara and Mexico City. The
victims have been identified as fifty three year old Rafael
Cardona and fifty year old Gloria Ambriz, the brother and
(31:41):
sister in law of the mayor there. The couple arrived
in late November to spend the holidays with family. Now
we don't know yet which part of California they are from.
This comes after several high profile killings and abductions in
the area by drug gangs.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It's it's rough out there, it's rough out there, and
didn't seem to be getting better. Just we always hear about,
you know, crime going down, and crime stats are down.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Maybe it'll be better now with the new DA possibly, possibly,
but there's crime everywhere. This Luigi Mangioni. Prosecutors are are
taking the case against him to a grand jury. This
is the guy that killed Brian Thompson in the streets
of New York. We could go Wednesday. It was last
Wednesday morning, this happened.
Speaker 17 (32:28):
The young man charged with murdering Brian Thompson was never
a client of United Healthcare, but police say they're investigating
whether Luigi Manngioni targeted the company because of its size.
The company tells ABC News Brian Thompson's killer was not
a member of United Healthcare. The NYPD tailing NBC New York.
Manchioni did, however, mention it's the fifth largest corporation in America.
Speaker 12 (32:50):
We anticipate that before very long he'll be brought back
to New York where he needs to be.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Okay, well, we'll come back. We'll finish up with this.
This is a story or that just doesn't end. It
is gotten the attention worldwide, and we'll come back with
some more details on this It's The Conway Show live
