Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
My darling brother, whose birthday is next week, is listening
on the iHeartRadio app from Texas. I listened to Texas.
He says, sounds like you are a little something in
your throat like this year, like a low grade throat thing.
So I hope that's not distracting to anyone. Croze I
didn't really notice it, but I guess apparently it was
(00:28):
picked up by my family members who are listening tonight.
I feel a little extra pressure with my brother. With
my brother listening, he sent me kind of an interesting thing, though.
Can I share this with you? It's a it's the
world's largest cities by metropolitan area population. Can you guess
(00:49):
or do you know what the world's largest city from
metro area population is worldwide? The world's largest anyone wants
to take a shot. Is this whipworthy? Crozier, what do
you think? Borderline up?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
All right, let's whip it and we are talking about
metropolitan area population of the world's largest cities. What's the
most populous city in the world. We'll start with you, Crozier, Oh,
Mexico City. Mexico City is on the list, but it
(01:35):
is not the most populous. Bella, what about you in
the world, right in the whole world? Dubai Dubai. Very
good guess, but not the most populous. Is it on
the list? It is not on the list, so it's
(01:56):
not a good guest. I just wanted to make her
feel good, okayek Angel Angel Martinez. What is the world's
most populous metropolitan area?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
It's one of two places. I want to guess.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Shanghai.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh, Shanghai. Shanghai is on the list, and it's close
to the top. No, but it is not the most
populous region. Shanghai, by the way, twenty nine million, one
hundred and twelve thousand residents. Richie, what is the most
populous city? Were the world's largest metro area population?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I'm gonna say Tokyo, Tokyo. Yeah, yeah, that was my second.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Thirty seven million, one hundred and seventy eight one thousand,
nine hundred and seventy four. It is Tokyo, and Richie,
well done, well done. The second most populous is Deli
thirty two million, almost thirty three million. Then Shanghai, then Dhaka, Sapolo,
(03:11):
Mexico City, Cairo, Beijing, Mumbai, Osaka, and New York. Pretty impressive, wow,
I had I mean, Tokyo is teaming with people almost
forty million, New York about half that population the New
(03:34):
York metro area. Extraordinary. Anyway, there you have it. Well done, everyone,
well done. I thought those were all good guesses. You too, Bella.
Don't let anybody make you feel bad about that guess.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
It was good awfing.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah. The murder of hornets, there was quite an effort
to eradicate them in the northwest corner of Washington's. They
started looking at b carcasses. They asked the public to
send tips about their whereabouts. They created grids traps, They
(04:11):
had these state entomologists come in. There were entomologists from
other states coming through as well. Experts and hornets crews
wearing those you know, protective outfits. They eliminated a lot
of these nests with these giant vacuums and with carbon dioxide.
And today they have said, five years after the invasive
(04:36):
hornets were cited for the first time, they say in
Washington State that they have successfully eradicated the murder hornet
from Washington State. They were worried that the hornet would
spread rapidly enough to establish itself in the US for good,
(05:00):
but they have indeed eradicated the threat. One entomologist said,
I've been doing this for twenty five years now, and
it's a rare day when the humans actually get to
win one against the insects. But this is a landmark victory.
They're saying they found four nests related to the introduction
of the hornet in this area near the Canadian border,
(05:22):
where farmers cultivate millions of raspberries and millions of pounds
of raspberries and blueberries, and the state has now gone
three years Washington State has without any new hornets being
discovered in that region. They did say that a new
invasion could happen in the future, especially given the fact
(05:43):
that it's a little unclear how they ended up there
to begin with. They're native in Asia. But they think
at least for the moment, things have chilled out in
that world, and they credit the public for stepping up
as well. So the murder hornet now a thing of
(06:06):
the past in Washington at least they're declaring it such,
whether or not that actually stands over the course of
time that we'll have to see. The Hollywood Forever is
New mausoleum is the future of cemeteries. Apparently it's an
odd thing to have on the billboard, but look, whatever
(06:29):
it takes to build your brand. It is Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
It's where Rudolph Valentino is, Judy Garland to Hitchcock, Cecil
b de Mille, and contemporary icons like Chris Cornell and
Quincy Jones. So it was founded in eighteen ninety nine
(06:53):
and the latest innovation is apparently a one hundred foot
five story mausoleum that has risen along Hollywood Forever's West edge.
It was designed by these architects that I guess are
very respected as architects of cemeteries, and it is the
(07:21):
tallest mausoleum in the country. It's the Gower Court Mausoleum.
In January, it's set to provide at housing for thirteen
thousand people, crypts for bodies and niches for urns. They'll
all go into the mausoleum. There was a finite supply
(07:44):
of ground plots, of course, so the only way they
could accommodate the increasing demand was to build this mausoleum.
The new mausoleum's concrete exterior is apparently complemented by blue
and white court site inside that reflects the natural lie.
It's supposed to be quite beautiful. We're not going to
(08:04):
build more cemeteries in la, said the Hollywood Forevers co
owner and chief financial officer, Yogu Kantia, So we need
to come up with creative ways to increase burial space.
The cemetery still has room on its land to provide
in ground burials for three decades or more, they say,
but the future need is clear, and it's vertical. We're
(08:28):
going up. The mausoleum's initial design, outlined by one of
the country's few crypt designed to build firms, didn't get
it done. It was a three story tall plaster box.
But this new vertical mausoleum is far more dramatic and
(08:50):
far more satisfying. Apparently, I didn't realize that there was
all this innovative architecture being done around mausoleums, but apparently
right here in the Hollywood It it happens Hollywood Forever's
owners had to essentially invest in this new way to
(09:10):
accommodate demand, and so they brought on architects and they
saw several plans and this costs more money, and the
final construction cost was about sixteen and a half million
dollars to build this vertical mausoleum. And there was no
(09:32):
zoning category for this kind of structure in La So
I mean it's a high rise for dead people. They
don't really have a zoning box that you check for that.
They wanted to classify it as housing initially, but then
there were discussions about designating it as storage in order
(09:52):
to cut down on extra costs, Like you know, when
it's housing, you have to have toilets for people that
are never going to get you used. So you end
up in this weird place because this is a completely
uncharted sort of territory. But they've achieved this delicate balance,
they say, between vertical mass and seismic stability and a
(10:16):
place that is a place of peace and a place
of joy for families to revisit. So there you have it,
a landmark, a legacy, the Gower Court Mausoleum. I would
say go check it out, but you may not want
to until you absolutely have to. But apparently verticality, as
(10:40):
they're calling it, is inevitable in the cemetery business. Eventually,
you're going to run out of space. That's what we're finding.
And the answer to running out of space is right
there at the Gower Court Mausoleum in Hollywood, a TFC
spinoff restaurant. The first it's kind has opened. I'll tell
(11:02):
you where you can find it.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Next, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
You know, one of the guys who I have mad
respect for is coming on right now. He's the guy
who is known as the house whisper. How about it
for Dean Sharp?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Hi, Dean Dean Sharp sitting in for Dean Sharp tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah. I will save my personal question about what's happening
at the Thompson Estate until the end of this conversation.
Some listeners are already familiar with my predicament, but I
am curious as to your take on it, and I
will save a minute or so for us to get to.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Well, that's a lot of pressure for a good answer.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's fine first maybe ninety seconds, but we will get
to it. Tell me what's on your menu though this week?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
This weekend, it's an all calls weekend. I love these weekends.
It's been several weeks. We do it every few weeks,
it's been actually a little longer than normal. So this
weekend Saturday Show and Sunday Show, I am just sitting
down at the mic inviting people to call, and we're
just you know, you set the agenda.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Well, that's cool, that's great.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I'm just I'm here for you this weekend. It's the
weekend before Christmas. I'm here to solve whatever last minute
problems you know, we can work out.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Sure. Sure, In fact, I can actually just call your show,
is what I'm realizing. With my with my personal issue,
I would fit in. I love you, Yeah, I may,
because I'm in the throes of this, and I feel
as though one of the great things about you is
that you're just so knowledgeable on so many different things
(12:46):
like plumbing, electric lighting, landscaping. I mean, these are all
the things that affect your home, roofing, et cetera. So
I'll share this one little bit of what's happening at
the Thompson estate and you can tell me, you know,
and maybe apply it to sort of the general condition.
We have a bathroom in the house, as you might expect.
(13:10):
There are three bathrooms in the house. This is the
guest bathroom. And we walked into the guest bathroom after
being away for about a week. We had house sitters
and stuff, and there is the smell of the sewer
in the bathroom and it's gotten worse every hour. So
we ran water and we because the shower in that
(13:33):
room doesn't get used much, and we ran water and
flush toilets and stuff like that because we'd heard that
that was maybe the reason it was coming up. But
that didn't do anything. And the smell is really like overpowering.
It's as though there's some kind of sewage underneath that
is coming through. Now that's the situation theory.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah. Yeah, it's not happened in any of the bathrooms,
just that one, just the one. Yeah, and that one
has it's been neglected a little bit, not not neglected
as far as cleaning, but it just doesn't it's not
getting used very much.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's right. The I mean, the toilet gets used and
the sink gets used, but the shower doesn't get used much.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, So so first of all, first of all, so
everybody should know that that one of the reasons why
weird smells sometimes develop inside a bathroom that isn't being used.
Is the fact that every drain, every drain the toilet
got you covered the sink and the shower can't see
it on the shower because it's down in the floor.
(14:32):
But every drain has this squirrely little pipe underneath the
drain that we call a pea trap. Okay, A pea
trap is not for urine. It's not named after that.
It's named after because somebody thought it looked like the
letter P, right, it's it's the little thing that and
a pea trap is intended. Its whole job is to
(14:52):
hold the last bit of water that came down that drain, okay,
and it holds it so that sewer gases from the
you know, from the city, from everywhere, sewer gases do
not have the option of creeping back up and making
it into the room. The water blocks the gases from
coming through. But a bathroom that doesn't get used a lot, uh,
(15:16):
the water, just like all water in the pea trap,
will start to evaporate, and the pea trap at some
point will get low enough that the water is not
completely blocking the sewer gases from coming back up, and
you get a weird smell. Okay. So now I'm not
saying that's your situation, but I'm laying the ground work.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I got it good, Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
So that's why sometimes any good realtor will tell you
that if they're showing a house that is that the
owners have moved out of the previous the sellers have
moved out of, they get in there, I mean, if there,
if it's open house day, they're going to get in
there several hours ahead of time, run water in all
the sinks, open up the windows, and all of that,
because there's a good chance after a few days or weeks,
(15:59):
the he traps have lowered enough and the house is
starting to smell like right, that would happen to any
of our homes. Sure if we just stopped running water
down the drain. So you had the right idea, But
here's the thing. What can happen after that happens? Okay,
even though now you're running water, sure is that you know,
(16:19):
with those sewer gases come a little and I don't
want to freak out about this because there's no reason
to freak out, but with that comes, uh, you know,
various microbes and bacteria that just cling to the sides
of the drain pipes, and water is not going to
flush them away, and they're there and they are themselves
(16:41):
now causing a smell even though you've flushed them down.
And so the simple answer, and it is a simple answer,
is to get yourself some enzymes. Okay, you can find
this stuff in the plumbing department at a big box
store like home depot. It's green Gobbler. Is the is
(17:02):
the brand that we like. They are. They are enzymes.
And what enzymes do is they go down. You know,
you will start treating your pipes this way, treating your drains,
send them down, and the enzymes they're not alive. But
what they do is they break apart that material that's
clinging to the side of your pipes, and they'll break
(17:22):
it apart, they will die, and you won't have that
smell anymore. We do that within a couple three days,
this problem is done.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That's remarkable. We used white vinegar, is that what it's called,
or the household vinegar, you know I'm talking about it.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vinegar is fine. Vinegar is fine. But
vinegar is one of those things where it's like it
kills on contact. Okay, and the microbes that might be
clinging to the side of the pipes, they might be
a little pasty, which means you flush the vinegar. And
if you were to do vinegar three times a day
(17:58):
for a week, you'd probably solved the problem with vinegar
because what the vinegar does is, you know, let's say
you've got this little bit of a thick paste on
the side of the sewer pipes. The vinegar is going
to kill off that surface, but there's still more underneath. Okay.
What the enzymes will do was eat through the whole thing. Wow, okay, okay,
(18:19):
and then it'll be done.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
What's the enzyme called again, It's called gobble. What is it?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
The particular product that I have just found is just
really really useful, and there's a bunch out there, so
you know, they're not a sponsor of the show. I
don't get, but I like it. It's called green Gobbler color,
and it gobbles up this stuff that clings to the
inside of your sewer pipes and it will get rid
of the odor I am. I mean, here's the thing.
(18:45):
If you had a sewer issue under your home, you
would be detecting it outside the house. You'd be detecting
it in every bathroom. So the fact that, you know,
kind of differential diagnosis, the fact that only the neglected
bathroom is suffering from this smell simply tells us that
some microbes have taken hold all of those dry pipes.
(19:06):
Perfect good, Yeah, and you'll deal with it done.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
It's funny. Last thing, because this is what happens when
you don't have access to this information. My darling Courtney
has set up some kind of smoke test that this
guy's coming in to do on Monday, you know what
I mean. He's doing, and it's expensive, and that's to
establish some kind of leak, some kind of sewer leak.
Sounds to me like I don't need that, or that
(19:29):
might be a bit premature.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah, unlike unlike most medical professionals who are under some
kind of oath to tell you, you know what, Mark,
we really don't need to run that test. I really
don't think we should run that test. You know, most plumbers, unfortunately,
if you call them up and say, hey, I'd like
to pay you a lot of money to come tell
(19:52):
me if I have a leak, they'll be like, when
do you want me there?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So I'm just telling you with a guy who has
no vested interest in making money in your house. Want
you push pause on that and get yourself a couple
of gallons of this enzyme and see if that doesn't
solve it. I'm going to put pretty good money on
the fact that you'll deal with it very quickly.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I'm loving it. Thank you. Dean can be heard on KFI,
of course, every Saturday morning from six to eight and
Sunday mornings from nine to noon. Home with Dean Sharp. Dean,
you know how I feel about you. I just adore you.
Thank you for spending some time with us today on
the Conway Show.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Love You Brother talksin Tucson.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
There is a strike a foot, as you no doubt. No,
I've been talking about it here on KFI. It's affecting
Amazon warehouses and Amazon delivery. But the interesting wrinkle, and
I'll get back to the Amazon part of it in
a second, is that Starbucks and their union plans strike
(21:00):
in La Chicago and Seattle that'll start tomorrow. Workers representing
over ten thousand employees saying that they're going to go
on strike in La Chicago and Seattle from Friday, with
the strike set to last until at least Christmas. Walkouts
are going to begin Friday morning escalate each day through
(21:22):
Christmas Eve. The union is seeking a foundational framework, they say,
for better working conditions and pay. This move from the
Starbucks union people came last week when they voted to
authorize the strike because of little progress, they say, in
(21:43):
negotiations with Starbucks management over worker demands. Over five hundred
company owner Starbucks outlets unionized over this past three years,
and this week's strike right here at the holidays is
indicating maybe more headwinds for Starbucks because they've been struggling
with weakening demand and increased expenses for the past couple
(22:05):
of years. Starbucks is really undergoing some pretty significant changes. Meantime,
the Amazon strike is on.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
So many of these workers out here striking in front
of that driveway going into this Amazon delivery center. Here,
they're chanting, Amazon, you can't hide. We can see your
greedy side. They're saying, union busting is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You can hear that.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Now they're marching, chanting, and they say they're going to
continue to do so until they get over.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
By the way, I don't mean to trivialize it, but
union busting is disgusting is a very solid chant. I
like to evaluate chance in various situations sports, you know,
where a whole crowd is yelling something. I think if
there's a group of picketers, there's certain chants that are
(22:55):
better than others, and that is a very strong.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
One, saying union busting is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Ugh, just perfect. Union busting is disgusting. Union busting perfect bravo,
so far, absolute perfection.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Side they're saying union busting is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
You can hear that.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Now they're marching, chanting, and they say they're going to
continue to do so until they get a response from Amazon.
There are strikes like this at seven Amazon facilities across
the country, that includes one in Palmdale and Victorville. This
all comes after the union says Amazon ignoreda December fifteenth
deadline for contract negotiations. They say the company refuses to
recognize their union, which they say affects nearly ten thousand
(23:39):
drivers and warehouse workers across the country. Problem is, Amazon
disputes this, saying many of these workers are drivers who
are not their employees. They work for a third party business. Therefore,
Amazon says the Teamsters is intentionally misleading the public by
claiming they represent thousands of Amazon employees when they do not.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
This is a key point. Amazon's saying, Hey, these people,
these drivers are not our employees. And those who are
delivering for Amazon are saying, uh, kind of a technical point.
All we do is pick up and deliver for you.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But the union says Amazon is legally required to bargain,
and workers here say it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Certainly. You know, I struggle paycheck to paycheck, you know
what I mean. It's hard for me to get ahead,
you know, so you know this would be you know,
night and day for me. We represent Amazon. We have
to follow their strict guidelines. And when we don't follow
those guidelines, you know, Amazon could actually terminate us. So
we have two people that could actually terminate us, Easy
Logistics and Amazon. So why do they have authority to
(24:47):
you know, discipline us when you know they're not in
our they're not our employer.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
That don't make no sense.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Well, I mean that's the point. I mean, it can't
be both ways, right, And at least that's what they're saying.
They're saying you, you know, either you're my employer or
you're not. And if you're not my employer, then I
can't be reprimanded by you. And if you are my employer,
then I should be able to collectively bargain for a
better deal. Who am I working for? I guess that's
(25:15):
what I'm getting from player.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That don't make no sense right, So again back out
here live you can see about forty of these workers
out here marching. They've been walking around since six o'clock
this morning. Here, they've been blocking that driveway. Earlier, there
was a line of cars trying to get to work here.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
They ended up letting a couple.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Of those cars in, but there was one car left
and that car ended up getting pretty much stuck in
the middle of this circle when they rejoined and started
marching once again, and then they got in front of
that vehicle. But I asked about that incident, and they said, well,
we're just trying to give some literature. It wasn't tense
at all, they say. They say they're just trying to
get the message across to all the workers who maybe,
(25:53):
they say, don't understand why they're out here marching.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Well, I mean it's it's on, and it's going to
get worse every day, and especially with the Starbucks now
added to it. I mean, this is really a it's
a labor action at the holidays. And as I may
have mentioned to you before, it's no accident that there's
a labor action at a time when you need those
deliveries in a timely fashion for Christmas and the holidays.
(26:20):
That's when they decide on a big labor action. They
want it to pinch all of us. They want to
make their statement. So that's what's going on across the
country in pockets of Amazon warehouse and delivery areas. When
we come back, I will tell you about that KFC
(26:41):
spinoff restaurant. I promise. Before we get off the air today,
I will tell you about that KFC spin off restaurant.
I promise, And I only have one more segment to
do it, so you know you're going to hear it.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Next you're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI.
AM sixty is a spinoff restaurant from KFC. It's called
Saucy s a U S Why it will apparently stick
mainly to boneless chicken tenders and sauces designed to compliment
(27:19):
those boneless chicken tenders.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yup, they are. There are eleven of these restaurants. Oh no,
I'm sorry, they'll be eleven of the sauces. I'm like
where we have eleven restaurants, but just one sauce in
each one of them, So you have to go from
restaurant to restaurant to experience the different sauce. So there'll
(27:45):
be eleven of these sauces running the gamut from sweet, spicy, savory,
and smoky. They say, Now these new restaurants saucy. They say,
we've taken kfc is famous original recipe and amplifies it
for the brand new concept that lets consumers play with flavor.
(28:09):
You can pick a combination, choose a flight of sauces,
or my personal favorite, says the chief New concept officer.
He says, my personal favorite is to mix sauces and
sides to create your perfect meal. So they've got this
sort of when they call it a flight of sauces,
(28:30):
they've got this sort of feel of it being kind
of an upscale experience. When you call it, you know
they're not just a bunch of sauces that they throw
in a bag. You know what I mean, It's a
flight of sauces. So also eleven beverages available to order,
(28:50):
eleven being the nod to the eleven herbs and spices.
You see the KFC users in the secret recipe? Did
you get that? That's why everything's eleven? Side orders will
include crinkle cut fries, Hawaiian rolls, and coleslaw. Desserts will
include chocolate and moose cake and key lime cake. A
(29:12):
representative for Saucy that couldn't reveal when or where additional
Saucy locations would open, but they say that the first
Saucy will be in Florida and it opens to the
public on Monday, so we will get reports from Florida
(29:32):
as to how it's going.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
There.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
One of several spinoff restaurant concepts to debut in recent years.
You know, I Hop had one. Does everybody remember I Hops?
It's called Flipped Flip Apostrophe D. It was supposed to
be sort of a pared down menu from I Hop
and be more of a fast food type concept so
(30:00):
you didn't have to sit down. There was limited seating,
but it didn't work out. McDonald's is still operating. It's
what is it? How do they say that? Cosmics? Is
that what? It's cosmics, cos mc apostrebs, that's customizable beverages.
(30:22):
There's a test location in Illinois, five more in Texas.
So a lot of these successful franchises and successful restaurant
brands are spinning off other restaurants fast casual, taking advantage
of the brand and trying to sort of blow open
what is an existing brand into even more successful restaurants.
(30:45):
For the holidays, if you decked out your car, or
if you've seen some of these cars that are filled
with Santa's lights, Holiday lights, Christmas lights, it's illegal. The
CHP wants you to know that having those cars filled
with lights or wrapped with lights is illegal. The festive
(31:09):
light decorations you see, Quoting from the California High we
Patrol Vehicle Code, the festival the festive light decorations can
mimic an emergency vehicle and confuse motorists. Only emergency vehicles
are authorized to display a steady burning red warning lamp
(31:29):
visible from the front. According to the CHP, non emergency
vehicles can only display a white or amber light on
the front. California isn't the only state with this law.
There are driving with holiday lights being illegal in most states.
You can't do it most anywhere, but there is a
(31:50):
time and a place for motorists to show their holiday spirits.
As the CHP, multicolored lights on California vehicles are allowed
in raids and on private property. So keep your cars
with lights wrapped around them on private property and in parades,
(32:12):
is what the CHP is saying. And speaking of parades,
the twenty twenty five Rose Parade is on track to
take off in Pasadena, and the La Metro A Line
is offering multiple stops along the parade route so parade
goers can ring in the new year without having to
(32:34):
fight crowded roads. You know, all those streets are cut
off in Pasadena, there's no place to park, so you
can board the A Line anywhere from Long Beach to Pasadena.
Six stops in the city of Roses. Both the Delmar
and Memorial Park stations are directly adjacent to the parade route,
and Angelinos can take metro trains and buses to LA's
(32:56):
Union station and hop on the A Line and get
right there to the Rose Parade. If you're in an
outlying community serviced by Metrolink. The regional passenger rail system
is adding early morning trains on its Mentura County, Orange
County and other valley lines. It's adjusting service on the
(33:17):
Antelope Valley and San Bernardino lines. I mean they're trying
to get you to the Rose Parade with as little
hassle as possible. The adjusted schedules will allow trains to
arrive at Union Station between seven and seven thirty in
the morning, and anyone utilizing Metrolink can transfer free to
the La Metro system. I mean you need to get
(33:38):
there early along that parade route. It's great. If you've
never been to the Rose Parade, I encourage you to
do it. I've been to many, and the the in
person experience is so much better than watching it on television.
And Washington television is cool, but man, when the sites,
the sounds, it's just so vibrant would be the word
I would use, You know, the colors, they're so rich. Anyway,
(34:03):
there are ways to get there, using the Metrolink trains
and using the ten dollars holiday pass, which provides unlimited
rides on the day of purchase. So go to the
Metrolink app or at the station ticket machines. You can
get that and do look at that La Metro a
(34:24):
line as a real possibility to get to the Rose
Parade on New Year's morning. Moe Kelly is warming up
in the bullpen. Oh yes, he's ready to throw a heat.
Moe is next. Thanks everybody, love being here. I'll look
forward to tomorrow. Until then, have a great night with Mo.
(34:48):
Mark Thompson saying so long. KFI AM six forty We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on k f I AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
My darling brother, whose birthday is next week, is listening
on the iHeartRadio app from Texas. I listened to Texas.
He says, sounds like you are a little something in
your throat like this year, like a low grade throat thing.
So I hope that's not distracting to anyone. Croze I
didn't really notice it, but I guess apparently it was
(00:28):
picked up by my family members who are listening tonight.
I feel a little extra pressure with my brother. With
my brother listening, he sent me kind of an interesting thing, though.
Can I share this with you? It's a it's the
world's largest cities by metropolitan area population. Can you guess
(00:49):
or do you know what the world's largest city from
metro area population is worldwide? The world's largest anyone wants
to take a shot. Is this whipworthy? Crozier, what do
you think? Borderline up?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
All right, let's whip it and we are talking about
metropolitan area population of the world's largest cities. What's the
most populous city in the world. We'll start with you, Crozier, Oh,
Mexico City. Mexico City is on the list, but it
(01:35):
is not the most populous. Bella, what about you in
the world, right in the whole world? Dubai Dubai. Very
good guess, but not the most populous. Is it on
the list? It is not on the list, so it's
(01:56):
not a good guest. I just wanted to make her
feel good, okayek Angel Angel Martinez. What is the world's
most populous metropolitan area?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
It's one of two places. I want to guess.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Shanghai.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh, Shanghai. Shanghai is on the list, and it's close
to the top. No, but it is not the most
populous region. Shanghai, by the way, twenty nine million, one
hundred and twelve thousand residents. Richie, what is the most
populous city? Were the world's largest metro area population?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I'm gonna say Tokyo, Tokyo. Yeah, yeah, that was my second.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Thirty seven million, one hundred and seventy eight one thousand,
nine hundred and seventy four. It is Tokyo, and Richie,
well done, well done. The second most populous is Deli
thirty two million, almost thirty three million. Then Shanghai, then Dhaka, Sapolo,
(03:11):
Mexico City, Cairo, Beijing, Mumbai, Osaka, and New York. Pretty impressive, wow,
I had I mean, Tokyo is teaming with people almost
forty million, New York about half that population the New
(03:34):
York metro area. Extraordinary. Anyway, there you have it. Well done, everyone,
well done. I thought those were all good guesses. You too, Bella.
Don't let anybody make you feel bad about that guess.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
It was good awfing.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah. The murder of hornets, there was quite an effort
to eradicate them in the northwest corner of Washington's. They
started looking at b carcasses. They asked the public to
send tips about their whereabouts. They created grids traps, They
(04:11):
had these state entomologists come in. There were entomologists from
other states coming through as well. Experts and hornets crews
wearing those you know, protective outfits. They eliminated a lot
of these nests with these giant vacuums and with carbon dioxide.
And today they have said, five years after the invasive
(04:36):
hornets were cited for the first time, they say in
Washington State that they have successfully eradicated the murder hornet
from Washington State. They were worried that the hornet would
spread rapidly enough to establish itself in the US for good,
(05:00):
but they have indeed eradicated the threat. One entomologist said,
I've been doing this for twenty five years now, and
it's a rare day when the humans actually get to
win one against the insects. But this is a landmark victory.
They're saying they found four nests related to the introduction
of the hornet in this area near the Canadian border,
(05:22):
where farmers cultivate millions of raspberries and millions of pounds
of raspberries and blueberries, and the state has now gone
three years Washington State has without any new hornets being
discovered in that region. They did say that a new
invasion could happen in the future, especially given the fact
(05:43):
that it's a little unclear how they ended up there
to begin with. They're native in Asia. But they think
at least for the moment, things have chilled out in
that world, and they credit the public for stepping up
as well. So the murder hornet now a thing of
(06:06):
the past in Washington at least they're declaring it such,
whether or not that actually stands over the course of
time that we'll have to see. The Hollywood Forever is
New mausoleum is the future of cemeteries. Apparently it's an
odd thing to have on the billboard, but look, whatever
(06:29):
it takes to build your brand. It is Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
It's where Rudolph Valentino is, Judy Garland to Hitchcock, Cecil
b de Mille, and contemporary icons like Chris Cornell and
Quincy Jones. So it was founded in eighteen ninety nine
(06:53):
and the latest innovation is apparently a one hundred foot
five story mausoleum that has risen along Hollywood Forever's West edge.
It was designed by these architects that I guess are
very respected as architects of cemeteries, and it is the
(07:21):
tallest mausoleum in the country. It's the Gower Court Mausoleum.
In January, it's set to provide at housing for thirteen
thousand people, crypts for bodies and niches for urns. They'll
all go into the mausoleum. There was a finite supply
(07:44):
of ground plots, of course, so the only way they
could accommodate the increasing demand was to build this mausoleum.
The new mausoleum's concrete exterior is apparently complemented by blue
and white court site inside that reflects the natural lie.
It's supposed to be quite beautiful. We're not going to
(08:04):
build more cemeteries in la, said the Hollywood Forevers co
owner and chief financial officer, Yogu Kantia, So we need
to come up with creative ways to increase burial space.
The cemetery still has room on its land to provide
in ground burials for three decades or more, they say,
but the future need is clear, and it's vertical. We're
(08:28):
going up. The mausoleum's initial design, outlined by one of
the country's few crypt designed to build firms, didn't get
it done. It was a three story tall plaster box.
But this new vertical mausoleum is far more dramatic and
(08:50):
far more satisfying. Apparently, I didn't realize that there was
all this innovative architecture being done around mausoleums, but apparently
right here in the Hollywood It it happens Hollywood Forever's
owners had to essentially invest in this new way to
(09:10):
accommodate demand, and so they brought on architects and they
saw several plans and this costs more money, and the
final construction cost was about sixteen and a half million
dollars to build this vertical mausoleum. And there was no
(09:32):
zoning category for this kind of structure in La So
I mean it's a high rise for dead people. They
don't really have a zoning box that you check for that.
They wanted to classify it as housing initially, but then
there were discussions about designating it as storage in order
(09:52):
to cut down on extra costs, Like you know, when
it's housing, you have to have toilets for people that
are never going to get you used. So you end
up in this weird place because this is a completely
uncharted sort of territory. But they've achieved this delicate balance,
they say, between vertical mass and seismic stability and a
(10:16):
place that is a place of peace and a place
of joy for families to revisit. So there you have it,
a landmark, a legacy, the Gower Court Mausoleum. I would
say go check it out, but you may not want
to until you absolutely have to. But apparently verticality, as
(10:40):
they're calling it, is inevitable in the cemetery business. Eventually,
you're going to run out of space. That's what we're finding.
And the answer to running out of space is right
there at the Gower Court Mausoleum in Hollywood, a TFC
spinoff restaurant. The first it's kind has opened. I'll tell
(11:02):
you where you can find it.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Next, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
You know, one of the guys who I have mad
respect for is coming on right now. He's the guy
who is known as the house whisper. How about it
for Dean Sharp?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Hi, Dean Dean Sharp sitting in for Dean Sharp tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah. I will save my personal question about what's happening
at the Thompson Estate until the end of this conversation.
Some listeners are already familiar with my predicament, but I
am curious as to your take on it, and I
will save a minute or so for us to get to.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Well, that's a lot of pressure for a good answer.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's fine first maybe ninety seconds, but we will get
to it. Tell me what's on your menu though this week?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
This weekend, it's an all calls weekend. I love these weekends.
It's been several weeks. We do it every few weeks,
it's been actually a little longer than normal. So this
weekend Saturday Show and Sunday Show, I am just sitting
down at the mic inviting people to call, and we're
just you know, you set the agenda.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Well, that's cool, that's great.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I'm just I'm here for you this weekend. It's the
weekend before Christmas. I'm here to solve whatever last minute
problems you know, we can work out.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Sure. Sure, In fact, I can actually just call your show,
is what I'm realizing. With my with my personal issue,
I would fit in. I love you, Yeah, I may,
because I'm in the throes of this, and I feel
as though one of the great things about you is
that you're just so knowledgeable on so many different things
(12:46):
like plumbing, electric lighting, landscaping. I mean, these are all
the things that affect your home, roofing, et cetera. So
I'll share this one little bit of what's happening at
the Thompson estate and you can tell me, you know,
and maybe apply it to sort of the general condition.
We have a bathroom in the house, as you might expect.
(13:10):
There are three bathrooms in the house. This is the
guest bathroom. And we walked into the guest bathroom after
being away for about a week. We had house sitters
and stuff, and there is the smell of the sewer
in the bathroom and it's gotten worse every hour. So
we ran water and we because the shower in that
(13:33):
room doesn't get used much, and we ran water and
flush toilets and stuff like that because we'd heard that
that was maybe the reason it was coming up. But
that didn't do anything. And the smell is really like overpowering.
It's as though there's some kind of sewage underneath that
is coming through. Now that's the situation theory.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah. Yeah, it's not happened in any of the bathrooms,
just that one, just the one. Yeah, and that one
has it's been neglected a little bit, not not neglected
as far as cleaning, but it just doesn't it's not
getting used very much.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's right. The I mean, the toilet gets used and
the sink gets used, but the shower doesn't get used much.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, So so first of all, first of all, so
everybody should know that that one of the reasons why
weird smells sometimes develop inside a bathroom that isn't being used.
Is the fact that every drain, every drain the toilet
got you covered the sink and the shower can't see
it on the shower because it's down in the floor.
(14:32):
But every drain has this squirrely little pipe underneath the
drain that we call a pea trap. Okay, A pea
trap is not for urine. It's not named after that.
It's named after because somebody thought it looked like the
letter P, right, it's it's the little thing that and
a pea trap is intended. Its whole job is to
(14:52):
hold the last bit of water that came down that drain, okay,
and it holds it so that sewer gases from the
you know, from the city, from everywhere, sewer gases do
not have the option of creeping back up and making
it into the room. The water blocks the gases from
coming through. But a bathroom that doesn't get used a lot, uh,
(15:16):
the water, just like all water in the pea trap,
will start to evaporate, and the pea trap at some
point will get low enough that the water is not
completely blocking the sewer gases from coming back up, and
you get a weird smell. Okay. So now I'm not
saying that's your situation, but I'm laying the ground work.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I got it good, Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
So that's why sometimes any good realtor will tell you
that if they're showing a house that is that the
owners have moved out of the previous the sellers have
moved out of, they get in there, I mean, if there,
if it's open house day, they're going to get in
there several hours ahead of time, run water in all
the sinks, open up the windows, and all of that,
because there's a good chance after a few days or weeks,
(15:59):
the he traps have lowered enough and the house is
starting to smell like right, that would happen to any
of our homes. Sure if we just stopped running water
down the drain. So you had the right idea, But
here's the thing. What can happen after that happens? Okay,
even though now you're running water, sure is that you know,
(16:19):
with those sewer gases come a little and I don't
want to freak out about this because there's no reason
to freak out, but with that comes, uh, you know,
various microbes and bacteria that just cling to the sides
of the drain pipes, and water is not going to
flush them away, and they're there and they are themselves
(16:41):
now causing a smell even though you've flushed them down.
And so the simple answer, and it is a simple answer,
is to get yourself some enzymes. Okay, you can find
this stuff in the plumbing department at a big box
store like home depot. It's green Gobbler. Is the is
(17:02):
the brand that we like. They are. They are enzymes.
And what enzymes do is they go down. You know,
you will start treating your pipes this way, treating your drains,
send them down, and the enzymes they're not alive. But
what they do is they break apart that material that's
clinging to the side of your pipes, and they'll break
(17:22):
it apart, they will die, and you won't have that
smell anymore. We do that within a couple three days,
this problem is done.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That's remarkable. We used white vinegar, is that what it's called,
or the household vinegar, you know I'm talking about it.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vinegar is fine. Vinegar is fine. But
vinegar is one of those things where it's like it
kills on contact. Okay, and the microbes that might be
clinging to the side of the pipes, they might be
a little pasty, which means you flush the vinegar. And
if you were to do vinegar three times a day
(17:58):
for a week, you'd probably solved the problem with vinegar
because what the vinegar does is, you know, let's say
you've got this little bit of a thick paste on
the side of the sewer pipes. The vinegar is going
to kill off that surface, but there's still more underneath. Okay.
What the enzymes will do was eat through the whole thing. Wow, okay, okay,
(18:19):
and then it'll be done.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
What's the enzyme called again, It's called gobble. What is it?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
The particular product that I have just found is just
really really useful, and there's a bunch out there, so
you know, they're not a sponsor of the show. I
don't get, but I like it. It's called green Gobbler color,
and it gobbles up this stuff that clings to the
inside of your sewer pipes and it will get rid
of the odor I am. I mean, here's the thing.
(18:45):
If you had a sewer issue under your home, you
would be detecting it outside the house. You'd be detecting
it in every bathroom. So the fact that, you know,
kind of differential diagnosis, the fact that only the neglected
bathroom is suffering from this smell simply tells us that
some microbes have taken hold all of those dry pipes.
(19:06):
Perfect good, Yeah, and you'll deal with it done.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
It's funny. Last thing, because this is what happens when
you don't have access to this information. My darling Courtney
has set up some kind of smoke test that this
guy's coming in to do on Monday, you know what
I mean. He's doing, and it's expensive, and that's to
establish some kind of leak, some kind of sewer leak.
Sounds to me like I don't need that, or that
(19:29):
might be a bit premature.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah, unlike unlike most medical professionals who are under some
kind of oath to tell you, you know what, Mark,
we really don't need to run that test. I really
don't think we should run that test. You know, most plumbers, unfortunately,
if you call them up and say, hey, I'd like
to pay you a lot of money to come tell
(19:52):
me if I have a leak, they'll be like, when
do you want me there?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So I'm just telling you with a guy who has
no vested interest in making money in your house. Want
you push pause on that and get yourself a couple
of gallons of this enzyme and see if that doesn't
solve it. I'm going to put pretty good money on
the fact that you'll deal with it very quickly.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I'm loving it. Thank you. Dean can be heard on KFI,
of course, every Saturday morning from six to eight and
Sunday mornings from nine to noon. Home with Dean Sharp. Dean,
you know how I feel about you. I just adore you.
Thank you for spending some time with us today on
the Conway Show.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Love You Brother talksin Tucson.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
There is a strike a foot, as you no doubt. No,
I've been talking about it here on KFI. It's affecting
Amazon warehouses and Amazon delivery. But the interesting wrinkle, and
I'll get back to the Amazon part of it in
a second, is that Starbucks and their union plans strike
(21:00):
in La Chicago and Seattle that'll start tomorrow. Workers representing
over ten thousand employees saying that they're going to go
on strike in La Chicago and Seattle from Friday, with
the strike set to last until at least Christmas. Walkouts
are going to begin Friday morning escalate each day through
(21:22):
Christmas Eve. The union is seeking a foundational framework, they say,
for better working conditions and pay. This move from the
Starbucks union people came last week when they voted to
authorize the strike because of little progress, they say, in
(21:43):
negotiations with Starbucks management over worker demands. Over five hundred
company owner Starbucks outlets unionized over this past three years,
and this week's strike right here at the holidays is
indicating maybe more headwinds for Starbucks because they've been struggling
with weakening demand and increased expenses for the past couple
(22:05):
of years. Starbucks is really undergoing some pretty significant changes. Meantime,
the Amazon strike is on.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
So many of these workers out here striking in front
of that driveway going into this Amazon delivery center. Here,
they're chanting, Amazon, you can't hide. We can see your
greedy side. They're saying, union busting is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You can hear that.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Now they're marching, chanting, and they say they're going to
continue to do so until they get over.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
By the way, I don't mean to trivialize it, but
union busting is disgusting is a very solid chant. I
like to evaluate chance in various situations sports, you know,
where a whole crowd is yelling something. I think if
there's a group of picketers, there's certain chants that are
(22:55):
better than others, and that is a very strong.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
One, saying union busting is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Ugh, just perfect. Union busting is disgusting. Union busting perfect bravo,
so far, absolute perfection.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Side they're saying union busting is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
You can hear that.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Now they're marching, chanting, and they say they're going to
continue to do so until they get a response from Amazon.
There are strikes like this at seven Amazon facilities across
the country, that includes one in Palmdale and Victorville. This
all comes after the union says Amazon ignoreda December fifteenth
deadline for contract negotiations. They say the company refuses to
recognize their union, which they say affects nearly ten thousand
(23:39):
drivers and warehouse workers across the country. Problem is, Amazon
disputes this, saying many of these workers are drivers who
are not their employees. They work for a third party business. Therefore,
Amazon says the Teamsters is intentionally misleading the public by
claiming they represent thousands of Amazon employees when they do not.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
This is a key point. Amazon's saying, Hey, these people,
these drivers are not our employees. And those who are
delivering for Amazon are saying, uh, kind of a technical point.
All we do is pick up and deliver for you.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But the union says Amazon is legally required to bargain,
and workers here say it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Certainly. You know, I struggle paycheck to paycheck, you know
what I mean. It's hard for me to get ahead,
you know, so you know this would be you know,
night and day for me. We represent Amazon. We have
to follow their strict guidelines. And when we don't follow
those guidelines, you know, Amazon could actually terminate us. So
we have two people that could actually terminate us, Easy
Logistics and Amazon. So why do they have authority to
(24:47):
you know, discipline us when you know they're not in
our they're not our employer.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
That don't make no sense.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Well, I mean that's the point. I mean, it can't
be both ways, right, And at least that's what they're saying.
They're saying you, you know, either you're my employer or
you're not. And if you're not my employer, then I
can't be reprimanded by you. And if you are my employer,
then I should be able to collectively bargain for a
better deal. Who am I working for? I guess that's
(25:15):
what I'm getting from player.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That don't make no sense right, So again back out
here live you can see about forty of these workers
out here marching. They've been walking around since six o'clock
this morning. Here, they've been blocking that driveway. Earlier, there
was a line of cars trying to get to work here.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
They ended up letting a couple.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Of those cars in, but there was one car left
and that car ended up getting pretty much stuck in
the middle of this circle when they rejoined and started
marching once again, and then they got in front of
that vehicle. But I asked about that incident, and they said, well,
we're just trying to give some literature. It wasn't tense
at all, they say. They say they're just trying to
get the message across to all the workers who maybe,
(25:53):
they say, don't understand why they're out here marching.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Well, I mean it's it's on, and it's going to
get worse every day, and especially with the Starbucks now
added to it. I mean, this is really a it's
a labor action at the holidays. And as I may
have mentioned to you before, it's no accident that there's
a labor action at a time when you need those
deliveries in a timely fashion for Christmas and the holidays.
(26:20):
That's when they decide on a big labor action. They
want it to pinch all of us. They want to
make their statement. So that's what's going on across the
country in pockets of Amazon warehouse and delivery areas. When
we come back, I will tell you about that KFC
(26:41):
spinoff restaurant. I promise. Before we get off the air today,
I will tell you about that KFC spin off restaurant.
I promise, And I only have one more segment to
do it, so you know you're going to hear it.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Next you're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI.
AM sixty is a spinoff restaurant from KFC. It's called
Saucy s a U S Why it will apparently stick
mainly to boneless chicken tenders and sauces designed to compliment
(27:19):
those boneless chicken tenders.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yup, they are. There are eleven of these restaurants. Oh no,
I'm sorry, they'll be eleven of the sauces. I'm like
where we have eleven restaurants, but just one sauce in
each one of them, So you have to go from
restaurant to restaurant to experience the different sauce. So there'll
(27:45):
be eleven of these sauces running the gamut from sweet, spicy, savory,
and smoky. They say, Now these new restaurants saucy. They say,
we've taken kfc is famous original recipe and amplifies it
for the brand new concept that lets consumers play with flavor.
(28:09):
You can pick a combination, choose a flight of sauces,
or my personal favorite, says the chief New concept officer.
He says, my personal favorite is to mix sauces and
sides to create your perfect meal. So they've got this
sort of when they call it a flight of sauces,
(28:30):
they've got this sort of feel of it being kind
of an upscale experience. When you call it, you know
they're not just a bunch of sauces that they throw
in a bag. You know what I mean, It's a
flight of sauces. So also eleven beverages available to order,
(28:50):
eleven being the nod to the eleven herbs and spices.
You see the KFC users in the secret recipe? Did
you get that? That's why everything's eleven? Side orders will
include crinkle cut fries, Hawaiian rolls, and coleslaw. Desserts will
include chocolate and moose cake and key lime cake. A
(29:12):
representative for Saucy that couldn't reveal when or where additional
Saucy locations would open, but they say that the first
Saucy will be in Florida and it opens to the
public on Monday, so we will get reports from Florida
(29:32):
as to how it's going.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
There.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
One of several spinoff restaurant concepts to debut in recent years.
You know, I Hop had one. Does everybody remember I Hops?
It's called Flipped Flip Apostrophe D. It was supposed to
be sort of a pared down menu from I Hop
and be more of a fast food type concept so
(30:00):
you didn't have to sit down. There was limited seating,
but it didn't work out. McDonald's is still operating. It's
what is it? How do they say that? Cosmics? Is
that what? It's cosmics, cos mc apostrebs, that's customizable beverages.
(30:22):
There's a test location in Illinois, five more in Texas.
So a lot of these successful franchises and successful restaurant
brands are spinning off other restaurants fast casual, taking advantage
of the brand and trying to sort of blow open
what is an existing brand into even more successful restaurants.
(30:45):
For the holidays, if you decked out your car, or
if you've seen some of these cars that are filled
with Santa's lights, Holiday lights, Christmas lights, it's illegal. The
CHP wants you to know that having those cars filled
with lights or wrapped with lights is illegal. The festive
(31:09):
light decorations you see, Quoting from the California High we
Patrol Vehicle Code, the festival the festive light decorations can
mimic an emergency vehicle and confuse motorists. Only emergency vehicles
are authorized to display a steady burning red warning lamp
(31:29):
visible from the front. According to the CHP, non emergency
vehicles can only display a white or amber light on
the front. California isn't the only state with this law.
There are driving with holiday lights being illegal in most states.
You can't do it most anywhere, but there is a
(31:50):
time and a place for motorists to show their holiday spirits.
As the CHP, multicolored lights on California vehicles are allowed
in raids and on private property. So keep your cars
with lights wrapped around them on private property and in parades,
(32:12):
is what the CHP is saying. And speaking of parades,
the twenty twenty five Rose Parade is on track to
take off in Pasadena, and the La Metro A Line
is offering multiple stops along the parade route so parade
goers can ring in the new year without having to
(32:34):
fight crowded roads. You know, all those streets are cut
off in Pasadena, there's no place to park, so you
can board the A Line anywhere from Long Beach to Pasadena.
Six stops in the city of Roses. Both the Delmar
and Memorial Park stations are directly adjacent to the parade route,
and Angelinos can take metro trains and buses to LA's
(32:56):
Union station and hop on the A Line and get
right there to the Rose Parade. If you're in an
outlying community serviced by Metrolink. The regional passenger rail system
is adding early morning trains on its Mentura County, Orange
County and other valley lines. It's adjusting service on the
(33:17):
Antelope Valley and San Bernardino lines. I mean they're trying
to get you to the Rose Parade with as little
hassle as possible. The adjusted schedules will allow trains to
arrive at Union Station between seven and seven thirty in
the morning, and anyone utilizing Metrolink can transfer free to
the La Metro system. I mean you need to get
(33:38):
there early along that parade route. It's great. If you've
never been to the Rose Parade, I encourage you to
do it. I've been to many, and the the in
person experience is so much better than watching it on television.
And Washington television is cool, but man, when the sites,
the sounds, it's just so vibrant would be the word
I would use, You know, the colors, they're so rich. Anyway,
(34:03):
there are ways to get there, using the Metrolink trains
and using the ten dollars holiday pass, which provides unlimited
rides on the day of purchase. So go to the
Metrolink app or at the station ticket machines. You can
get that and do look at that La Metro a
(34:24):
line as a real possibility to get to the Rose
Parade on New Year's morning. Moe Kelly is warming up
in the bullpen. Oh yes, he's ready to throw a heat.
Moe is next. Thanks everybody, love being here. I'll look
forward to tomorrow. Until then, have a great night with Mo.
