We are all bouncing in our chairs in our steps
having heard Michael Krozer's magnificent rendition of a It was
a mix really of two classic Christmas offerings, and it's
available wherever fine mixes of two fine Christmas offerings are available.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I reposted on my Facebook and I'm putting it on
my on like Instagram and all that stuff too.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Good good it was. I mean, I don't know, man,
you really hit the ball. Very impressive. Yeah, if you
have missed it and you're just joining us, of course,
you can catch the podcast of the show and you
can hear it that way, or, as Michael says, you've
got to Facebook and his YouTube channel. In any case,
this is the time of year when you hear two
(00:58):
things on local news. You hear about how somebody's collected
a bunch of toys and new stuff for some underprivileged
and stressed families, and how all that stuff's been ripped
off by someone or some group of people. We had
a story like that earlier this week. But you also
(01:19):
hear heartwarming stories of one sort or another where families
that have had a rough go get the kind of
lift from the community that you hope they would get
this time of year. And in that spirit, check this out. No,
maybe not, this is not playing now this magnificent after
(01:43):
I thought, I set that piece up beautifully and now
of course nothing. So I'll just tell you the story
while the richie works on the situation. Five year old
Jackson and his four year old sister Mackenzie elated when
Santa sent elves to visit them, and Santa brought Santa

that we're in much better shape.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Elves looks coming here, kiddo. H look at this.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
By Witness News parkolev Toy Drive joining the Ventura County
Fire Department bringing holiday cheer to a family that lost
everything in the Mountain Fire in Ventura County last month.
Five year old Jackson and his four year old sister
McKenzie elated Santa sent his elves to bring them smiles.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Gift a portrait of Dallas Range and he signed in.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Dallas, Wow, we wanted you to have this because he
knows how much you love the webb.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You know, I would have liked a portrait of Dallas
Rains Croze.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Maybe next year. I think it's too late for this year.
I would have loved a signed picture of Dallas Range.
Do you know next to our bed? And this, I
is absolutely true, is a signed picture from Heulehauser.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So we have a history of putting signed eight by
tens in places of prominence in our home. And I'd
love a signed picture of Dallas. So put it on
the list, CROs if you ever nay, okay for next year,
all right anyway?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
And he signed.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
We wanted you to have this because he knows how
much you love the weather. So here's a special gift
from Dallas Rains to you, buddy the.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Mountain fire destroying.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I want my name when Dallas signs it on there, Croze, Okay,
I know, just wants one of the generic best wishes,
Dallas Rains.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Do you wanted to say something specific or mmmm.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Not really?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Uh, Mark you were better on the weather than I am,
or something like that.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
I mean, you know something I don't know. You were
the standard.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I always thank you better. Yes see now we're writing.
Now we're writing. Well, we can hammer something. We've got
a whole year to work on that.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
You to have this because he knows how much you
love the weather. So here's a special gift from Dallas
Rains to you, buddy. The Mountain fire destroying the family's
home and camerillo, Jennifer Blaman thankful her family was out
of the home when it went up and smoked, yet heartbroken.
All of the holiday cheer filling the home with love
and warmth burned.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Well, what's really painful is when you realize, because you
know holidays are right around the corner.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, I bought all the presents for my kids. They're
all gone.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Some of them were even wrapped.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
This year has been devastating for Jennifer, losing her cherished home.
A month before that, she lost her dad.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
She also lost her grandmother even the day before the fire.
I remember thinking the night before, well, what else could happen?
And boom Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
As she tries to cope with overwhelming loss of her home,
her dad, and grandmother, she reflects undestroyed, precious heirlooms that
are irreplaceable, like the French horns she played in the
All American College Band at Disneyland back in two thousand
and eight.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Oh, that has to be brutal. I mean, you know,
that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's you know, you can replace a lot of the
things in your house, but you have some keepsake like
that that you've had for all those years.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That's really rough.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Like the French horns you played in the All American
College band at Disneyland back in two thousand and.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Eight at Disneyland. At Disneyland, that was the time of
my life.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Jennifer says she and her family will rebuild their home
in Camerio. She's thankful to the firefighters. She's also very
grateful to you the community.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
The outpouring of love has been incredible from the community.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
So when you think about the sparkle of Toy Drive,
you got think about the kiddos, because this is what
it's all about.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, that's very nice. I like that reporter, Is that
to Leo's Leo Stalwarths I was gonna.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Say, every time I heard his voice, I kept thinking
it was Bill Cosby.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No, I like, there's a certain emotion in his voice.
He does a nice job with these kind of warm,
fuzzy stories and then he'll give you the for some
of the more intense stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I like his presentation there alsuly do.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
He's got a great sort of demeanor about him. It
seems like a guy that really it seems like a
good guy.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
First off.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, he does a he does a nice job.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So that Camaio family, I mean, they lose their home
in that mountain fire and they get that heartwarming holiday
surprise which helps take a little bit of the sting
out of the holiday season for sure. But uh, just
one of the good stories that has come to pass
this holiday season alongside many of the heartbreaking stories.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There are strikes going going on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You know about the Starbucks strike, you know about the
Amazon strike where there's another strike that is percolating, and
I'll tell you about that next. It's the Tim Conway
Junior Show. Tim's off for the holidays. I figure he
went up north, right, That's what I'm thinking. He went
up to Oregon, at least.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
For some of the time. I think he was going to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, yeah, so I got the new car too, so
he was going to take his time going that is.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
A nice ride. That is a nice ride.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And I think I accidentally he was keeping it wasn't
he keeping it quiet as to what kind of car
it was? And then I accidentally revealed it, I believe
in one of our exchanges. Yes, anyways, it is really
a sweet car. Anyway, Tim's away, He'll be back in
the new year.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Looking forward to MOE at seven. And there is breaking news,
of course out of San Diego County. A military helicopter
flying out of Camp Pendleton made a fiery but at
non injury emergency landing along I five, just north of
Ocean Side. Touched down in an open area west of
the freeway and north of Aliso Creek in the rest
(08:13):
area there on the grounds of the Northern San Diego
County Military base. It happened around four o'clock. There were well,
there were rescue teams on the scene, but it was
a dramatic scene at that the helicopter became engulfed in flames.
All the personnel aboard the aircraft able to get out safely.
(08:34):
Not immediately clear what forced the emergency landing which led
to problems of course in the I five in the area.
But glad everybody got out of that. That's the word
out of Camp Pendleton. There is a life threatening allergy
risk that has caused Fredo Lay to recall some of
Lay's Classic potato chips. Freedo Lay recalling a limited number
(09:00):
of thirteen ounce bags of Lais Classic potato chips. This
is a body blow during the holidays.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Does it feel like there's been a string of food recalls?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Yes, every day something new because.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
We're reporting it here, so it does feel that way.
From Kirkland Signature brand organic eggs potentially infected with salmonilla
to carrot products from grim Way Farms that's potentially contained
with E.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Coali.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Two millions of pounds of bruce pack ready to eat
meat and bores had Deli products tainted by it. Lasteria.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
When you list them like that, you know, and the
partridge in a pear tree, I mean it's pretty vertical.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Carrot products from grim Way Farms potentially contained with E.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Coli.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Two millions of pounds of bruce pack, ready to eat
meat and bores had Deli products tainted by it. Lasteria
many consumers maybe wondering.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Which is why we're down to potato chips, And I
want to know what's happening with the one.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Recalls the normal or is there something actually going on
with our food supply. So on that question, the FDA
told us that food recalls in twenty twenty four are
quote generally consistent with years past, and that most recalls
are carried out of carried out voluntarily by the companies
themselves when a problem is found, which again, according to
the FDA, shows that the system is actually working. The
(10:18):
FDA also reminded us that you.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Was, Yeah, I'm not a big believer I don't have
a lot of faith in sometimes the companies counting on
the companies to recall their own stuff. I don't mean
to be cynical, but she mentioned the boarshead thing. I mean,
you know what happened after the boar's head thing. I mean,
(10:40):
people started dying from this listeria that was in that
boar's head meat. And so what happened They went and
inspected the boar's head meat factory, Okay, and do you
remember what they found?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It was an absolute hell hole. There were.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Every manner of violations that were everywhere. It was like
one big violation. This is the high end meat, the
high end deli meat bores head. So this idea that well,
you know, most of the companies, we leave it to
them to spot these things and recall it. Well, policing
(11:22):
themselves isn't always the most effective way to go, But
I get it. The FDA saying that's the way it is,
and for the most part, the system works well.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
According to the FDA, shows that the system is actually working.
The FDA also reminded us that US food supply remains
one of the safest in the world.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
One of are you not reassured?
Speaker 8 (11:41):
And by the way, it's not only food recalls that
have many people wondering what's safe to eat. It's the
food ingredients and food processing too. Social media and wellness
books are full of talk of so called ultra processed food,
which includes additives that are banned in other countries and
maybe linked to health problems in this one.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
No foods so good but so bad for you.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
And maybe linked to health problems in this one. And
now there's a new lawsuit just filed against some of
the country's largest and most profitable makers of that food.
Claiming they engineered the ultra process chemically modified products to
be addictive and over consumed that they targeted kids in
the process and that they allegedly know the products cause
increased risks of severe physical injuries. That's a quote in kids,
(12:29):
including type two diabetes, liver disease, other chronic diseases, as
well as for the company as well. They have an
industry group that represents food and beverage makers and it
told Reuters that there is no agreed upon scientific definition
of ultra processed foods and adding that it's misleading to
classify foods as onhealthy simply because they are processed.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
But back to the big question, what do I eat?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
And will You're gonna stop judging me when I get
the chips in the soda the checkout aisle.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Yeah right, you do not I do.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I love a baggage chief.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I used to be able to eat an entire bag
of chips. Not only be able to, I mean I
couldn't resist eating the entire bag of chips when I
would get it at the supermarket.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It was the first thing.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I always made sure it was on top, and I
would just I would rip that bag of chips open
and I would eat the entire bag right there in
the parking lot. What's your go bag, well, I mean chips.
I loved What's not my go bag? Everything? I love
the kettle chips. I like the ruffles, the Ridges, the Lays,
the I mean Lay's Classic Lays, Barbecue. It's all great.
(13:32):
I've never met a potato chip I didn't love. And
I'm telling you used to inhale them by the bag.
And now Freedom Lay is recalling these thirteen ounce bags
of Layers Classic Potato chips. They are saying that some
consumers could experience a life threatening allergic reaction. There is
(13:53):
an undeclared allergen, is what they're saying inside these bags.
The FDA said it had been alerted by a consumer
that the product might contain undeclared milk. The bags of
chips affected by the recall were distributed to some retail
stores and e commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington. Not
(14:13):
clear that there are any in California, but those with
an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk
of a serious or life threatening allergic reaction. According to
the FDA, there have been no allergic reactions related to
this recall yet and no other laysed products, flavors, sizes,
(14:33):
or variety packs are affected.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
That's a load off my mind. So the.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You know, the general thing they tell you to do
is dispose of the product if it's one of the
recall products, or return it to the retailer for a
full refund. You know, Costco recalled eighty pounds of store
brand butter because of that key ingredient milk missing from
the products label. So this is not unprecedented, this kind
(15:02):
of elen eleventh hour realization that there is milk in
there and it was undeclared or such that it affects
the public at large. Potentially, there is a pressure campaign
on Kaiser to make a deal with the union representing
Southern California therapists. They've been striking Kaiser permanente and there
(15:29):
doesn't look to be any wiggle room at all. These
are therapists and the actual therapists at Kaiser are on strike.
They say there are scab therapists that are being offered there.
The preferred therapists go on strike, and if you're you know,
(15:52):
getting therapy at Kaiser, they give you, you know, the
fill in therapist of you will, and many are saying
those who support the strike that they keep offering me
scab therapists, but I don't want to cross the picket line.
But there is a strain on patients and providers because
of this mental health strike at Kaiser Permanente. In the
(16:12):
last three years, twenty four hundred Kaijer therapists, clinicians other
National Union of Healthcare workers went out strike on October
twenty first in southern California. They want more time and
resources for their workday to help them with critical patient
care duties. They want pension benefits restored, they want cost
(16:35):
of living wages increased.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
And then there are a handful of non.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Productive bargaining sessions that have now ended and they are
no further meetings scheduled, so this strike may go on
for a long time. Kaiser Permanente says the strike's unnecessary.
The proposal on the table they feel the union should
take meantime that continues this holiday season at a time
(17:03):
when a lot of people need therapists and need something
or someone or some system to lean on. The Kaiser
Permanente strike continues with therapists in Southern California. It's a
tim Conway Junior Show when we come back. More men
(17:25):
are addicted to this. They're calling it the crack cocaine
of men. It is not a drug, but is truly addictive.
We'll tell you about that next.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Moe Kelly coming up at seven o'clock. They're calling it
the crack cocaine that's affecting more men than women. The
addiction is the stock market. People are getting hooked on
trading in the stock market. I mean everything from huge losses,
(18:07):
hundreds of thousands of dollars in trading losses, having to
borrow from a loan shark to double down on stocks
because you still believe that the investment is a good one,
and then finding yourself without any money. Piece in the
Wall Street Journal essentially details the rise of so many
(18:27):
of these options traders, and with the use of brokerage
apps like robin Hood and meme Stock. You know, the
running up of the game Stop for example, that everybody
kind of jumped on and the price runs up. You
begin to think that, you know, this is an easy
game to beat.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Really created a lot of people who are hooked on trading.
You can trade from home, right, you can trade from
wherever you are. Now, these apps and brokerage apps are
more accessible than ever and they are more ways and
more vehicles to invest your money than ever before. And
I've left out one thing which may be one of
(19:12):
the biggest ways in which people.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Are hooked, and that's crypto.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Buying and selling crypto on apps that make trading as
easy as ordering takeout on Uber Eats is something that
is now affecting more and more younger people generally in
this society. So you add this to sports betting, which
has now become an accepted pastime. Right, there's spots like
(19:41):
crazy about sports betting. You can't watch any sports without
seeing Jamie Fox, and he's the one who comes to
mind with Kevin Hart and all these celebrities who are
telling you how easy it is to jump on the
MGM app and bet on a game. So the idea,
(20:02):
somehow that these all come together in some way to
enrich people is starting to fade. And you know, you'll
always hear a story of how people made so much
money in the dot com run up. You always heard
oh my god, you know, I bought this stock at
six and now it's at six hundred, and like you know,
only fifteen hours have gone by. I mean, there's all
that stuff, the rags to riches stuff, and the stock
(20:25):
market has had a tear this year, right, and then
you have Bitcoin, which recently topped one hundred thousand dollars
for the first time, and that's tempted people into piling
into speculative trading. So Gambler's Anonymous is actually where many
of these people are going, those who have ended up
(20:48):
in a bad place after all of this, And it's
modeled after alcoholics. Anonymous dates back to nineteen fifty seven.
It's been around a long time, and attendees show up
from all over and deal with what is this gambling jones?
And it's not limited to sports is they say, it's
(21:10):
limited to almost nothing. Crypto prices, stock options, These are
all things that have sucked people in. Just reading the
Wall Street Journal article, there are so many people who've
sworn off gambling after getting sucked into sports gambling, but
(21:31):
they end up in the stock market, which is the
same thing. I mean, it's really just a casino, a
legalized casino, and the cycle of the adrenaline rush, the
buying and selling, the trading more frequently staying up all night.
These are all of the stories that you hear and
(21:52):
read about in this Wall Street Journal piece. And they
say that the problem is getting worse, that the gamble
or anonymous hotlines are fielding more calls than ever before.
You know, Conway and I talk about gambling on sports
and it's it's a mug's game, as they say, you know,
it's like you just can't beat it. I mean, I
(22:14):
will tell you it is impossible to beat it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
As people like you intend that, you know, do a
little gambling here and there, knowing that it seems odd
to me because I'm I'm don't I'm not a gambler.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
I don't really because I don't like to lose money.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
And the house always wins? Does that not resonate to people?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Well, it's like walking through the Vegas casino speaking of
the house, any casino that you want, and you could say, well,
the house is always going to win. The odds are
with them, but the temptation that, yeah, but I can
maybe win in a short session of blackjack or whatever. Yeah,
(23:00):
And the same is true when you buy a lottery ticket.
I mean, you can't tell me when you buy a
lottery ticket. And they're jillions of people buying these things
nationwide because they want to win that pot of gold
that they don't know that the chances of winning are
three over three million to one.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Sure, but there's the difference between you know, doing it
every once in a while when the jackpot gets really big,
and spending hundreds of dollars at one time, or even
doing it every week.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There's a difference between. Sure, No, I agree there's a difference.
But the idea just to what you were saying, which
is what you know, the house wins. I mean, in
that case, the house really wins overwhelmingly.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I mean, you know what I mean, it's over three
million to one. You know that you're going to work,
I will be.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Buying tickets on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Absolutely, so you see the cognitive dissonance as they say, there,
but what were you saying.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
The difference between you know, doing it like that and
the people that had the real problems with that.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Sure, no, of course, you're right.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
If you look, if you're putting the rent money into
lottery tickets, then you have a problem. Yeah, well, you
have a problem understanding bad odds. I mean there, if
you're gonna put the rent money into something aside from rent,
they're probably a better investments.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Bella, do you play? You you gamble at all?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I do.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I have a membership with Caesar's Resorts Hila River in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Excuse me, we have a ranking officer on deck all
of a sudden, get around.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I wish Conway were here to hear this. This is great.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh yes, my ex my kid's moms. She's a huge
online poker player and she's always she does well enough
to where she's always like, we always talk about these cruises,
these poker cruise. She keeps winning more of them, so
she goes on two or three every year.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
The poker.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Poker is an interesting mix of both gambling and skill.
But you could say that about a lot of gambling,
you really could? You say, Well, you know what, I
play blackjack and I keep track of the cards, and
that's a of gambling and skill.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Yeah, like roulette. Somehow there's some sort of skill in there.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But I I'll tell you what I heard was the
worst bet in the casino, the worst table game in casinos,
and Bella, maybe you'll be able to back me up.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't play this game, but I was talking to
somebody who's a real casino rat who was saying, there's
one thing.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Don't go near it. It's always near the door.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's always the thing that the first thing you're going
to see when you walk into a casino, and it's
three card poker. They say that the odds there are
really stacked against you.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I've had really good I guess luck on three card
wore one of the few hard games that I really
always do well on. Wow, you want to call it
luck or whatever, but I always seem to do really
well more than any other gambling.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Wow, that's something. Well, maybe you know, maybe this person
is wrong. Maybe it's the best bet at the casino.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I mean, I don't think I've ever lost walking away
from a three card table.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I mean it's got played like, oh my god, so
much like Bello over here.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, Bella, are you up up or down? Lifetime?
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Oh? We do have to get into that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Have you had a winning month this past year?
Speaker 6 (26:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
No, mad respect, mad respect, I understand, I really do.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
It's just around the corner.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, the big win, the big score is coming next time.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, it is the Conways Show. Tim would be so
proud that we're talking about gaming and gambling.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Most coming up. Mo Kelly will be joining in minutes.
The CEO shooting suspect Luigi is being moved to notorious
facility that's housing Diddy, both of them awaiting trial. Manngioni's
(26:58):
twenty six. He was transported to this facility and listed
as an inmate this morning. According to online records, he
is being defended by an incredibly talented attorney, Karen Friedman
(27:19):
Agna Filo. She's going to represent Mangoni in New York.
You know, she was a guest on my YouTube show,
and I'll tell you why I had her, because she
is insanely good in terms of a legal analysis, and
she was doing a podcast at the time and we'd
heard it and we said we released to get her
(27:39):
on the show, and she came on and she was great. Well,
you know again, time passes and this CEO thing goes
down and there she is alongside Mangioni and she'll defend
him in New York now, there's not a lot of
wiggle room here. But one of the things she said
before she was his attorney, she said that there might
(28:03):
be some kind of mental state wiggle room, if there
is any. So the husband of Karen Friedman Agnafilo is
Mark Agnefilo, and he is going to be representing who
Sean Combs. So they're both there in the same facility.
(28:30):
The CEO shooting suspect and Diddy and this husband wife
team will be representing the two of them. I guess
they can carpool to this facility to meet with their clients.
He was just moved into this facility this morning apparently,
and we will see there is a well. He made
(28:55):
his initial appearance right in New York Federal Court. Was
that just yesterday, wasn't it? But he has many court
appearances ahead of him. Would Californians support seceding from the
United States. I always love these stories because it's just
not practical. I mean, if any state was going to
push away, I suppose California could. We've got the economic
(29:18):
engine to do it. But the idea is somehow that
you know, as a group. In California, the voters voted
overwhelmingly against Donald Trump. But let's be honest, there are
really two different Californians here. I mean, they're the Californians
who live in the cities and they're Californians who live
in the Central Valley.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
And much of the state is red.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
So I mean, even though we see California as this
place that's blue, as I say, the stark, reality is
a lot different if you get out into the central
Valley up north, you know, et cetera. But anyway, to
the point, So the world's fifth largest economy, it is argued,
could push away from the.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
And leaving the US.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Could make financial sense, they say, since we contributed seventy
two billion dollars more to the federal government, then we
get back. The idea of succession isn't new. It's gained
a lot of traction worldwide. South Sudan Brexit Quebec had
two referendums in Canada and these narrowly missed. In the US,
(30:28):
hexas Republicans have pushed for a succession vote. As you know,
the Texans are always talking about seceding. And in twenty seventeen,
just a year into Trump's first presidency, there was a
poll that found nearly a third of California and supported
a peaceful withdrawal from the US. I'm chuckling because it
just is so absurd on one level, right anyway, there's
(30:54):
no proposed amendment, you know, being floated, but it is
just interesting that you wouldn't need much You'd only need
nine hundred thousand signatures for secessionists to get on the ballot. Again,
I think it kind of silly, but I also think
it interesting because one of the things that you lose
(31:17):
track of in these conversations is how much you use
at federal government. There are all kinds of federal programs,
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, you know, veterans programs. These are
all things that interlock with the federal government. So the
idea somehow that you know, you can just push away
from the table because you're not happy with the election,
it's kind of absurd. But California does have muscle, and
(31:40):
I'm hopeful that we can, you know, continue to flourish
even though there is an administration there that many.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
People didn't vote for, but many people did vote for it.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And finally some good news and oil drilling facility in
West LA that's been the focus of neighborhood health concerns
for decades. It's fine going to be coming down. The
council members voted twelve nothing on Wednesday this week to
formally terminate the city's agreement with operators of the West
Pico pumping station. It's in the nine thousand block of
(32:14):
West Pico Boulevard at Doheeny. It's been extracting crude oil
since nineteen sixty five, but neighbors have complained about foul smells, noise.
So this is a closure agreement and a major victory,
according to council Member Katie Yuoslavsky in a statement, for
(32:35):
two long oil drilling sites like this one have jeopardized
the health of residents and exposed families to unacceptable health
and safety risks. So under the agreement, city leadership is
going to work with the operators of this facility to
wind down this entire thing and enact zone changes that
would increase residential opportunities on that site. So your long
(33:00):
West La centered nightmare ends. Congratulations all, and Merry Christmas,
Happy holidays. Moe Kelly is standing by his in the
bullpen now, just warming up. I can see it loosening, loosening,
that terrific body.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
That he brings in here to KFI. You know he's
an athlete. Mo's a will tuned machine.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
He will join in minutes with Mark Ronner and the
whole gang until Monday. Everybody, have a great weekend. All
the very best from all of us at KFI. Thank you,

Speaker 2 (00:07):
We are all bouncing in our chairs in our steps
having heard Michael Krozer's magnificent rendition of a It was
a mix really of two classic Christmas offerings, and it's
available wherever fine mixes of two fine Christmas offerings are available.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I reposted on my Facebook and I'm putting it on
my on like Instagram and all that stuff too.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Good good it was. I mean, I don't know, man,
you really hit the ball. Very impressive. Yeah, if you
have missed it and you're just joining us, of course,
you can catch the podcast of the show and you
can hear it that way, or, as Michael says, you've
got to Facebook and his YouTube channel. In any case,
this is the time of year when you hear two
(00:58):
things on local news. You hear about how somebody's collected
a bunch of toys and new stuff for some underprivileged
and stressed families, and how all that stuff's been ripped
off by someone or some group of people. We had
a story like that earlier this week. But you also
(01:19):
hear heartwarming stories of one sort or another where families
that have had a rough go get the kind of
lift from the community that you hope they would get
this time of year. And in that spirit, check this out. No,
maybe not, this is not playing now this magnificent after
(01:43):
I thought, I set that piece up beautifully and now
of course nothing. So I'll just tell you the story
while the richie works on the situation. Five year old
Jackson and his four year old sister Mackenzie elated when
Santa sent elves to visit them, and Santa brought Santa
(02:11):
out there you goes coming up.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Kettle.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
By the way, this is so much better than me
having to bring it to life. You can tell already
that we're in much better shape.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Elves looks coming here, kiddo. H look at this.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
By Witness News parkolev Toy Drive joining the Ventura County
Fire Department bringing holiday cheer to a family that lost
everything in the Mountain Fire in Ventura County last month.
Five year old Jackson and his four year old sister
McKenzie elated Santa sent his elves to bring them smiles.
Santa knows Jackson loves the weather, so the elves, handing
(02:53):
Jackson a very very special.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Gift a portrait of Dallas Range and he signed in.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Dallas, Wow, we wanted you to have this because he
knows how much you love the webb.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You know, I would have liked a portrait of Dallas
Rains Croze.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Maybe next year. I think it's too late for this year.
I would have loved a signed picture of Dallas Range.
Do you know next to our bed? And this, I
is absolutely true, is a signed picture from Heulehauser.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So we have a history of putting signed eight by
tens in places of prominence in our home. And I'd
love a signed picture of Dallas. So put it on
the list, CROs if you ever nay, okay for next year,
all right anyway?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
And he signed.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
We wanted you to have this because he knows how
much you love the weather. So here's a special gift
from Dallas Rains to you, buddy the.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Mountain fire destroying.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I want my name when Dallas signs it on there, Croze, Okay,
I know, just wants one of the generic best wishes,
Dallas Rains.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Do you wanted to say something specific or mmmm.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Not really?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Uh, Mark you were better on the weather than I am,
or something like that.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
I mean, you know something I don't know. You were
the standard.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I always thank you better. Yes see now we're writing.
Now we're writing. Well, we can hammer something. We've got
a whole year to work on that.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
You to have this because he knows how much you
love the weather. So here's a special gift from Dallas
Rains to you, buddy. The Mountain fire destroying the family's
home and camerillo, Jennifer Blaman thankful her family was out
of the home when it went up and smoked, yet heartbroken.
All of the holiday cheer filling the home with love
and warmth burned.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Well, what's really painful is when you realize, because you
know holidays are right around the corner.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, I bought all the presents for my kids. They're
all gone.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Some of them were even wrapped.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
This year has been devastating for Jennifer, losing her cherished home.
A month before that, she lost her dad.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
She also lost her grandmother even the day before the fire.
I remember thinking the night before, well, what else could happen?
And boom Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
As she tries to cope with overwhelming loss of her home,
her dad, and grandmother, she reflects undestroyed, precious heirlooms that
are irreplaceable, like the French horns she played in the
All American College Band at Disneyland back in two thousand
and eight.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Oh, that has to be brutal. I mean, you know,
that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's you know, you can replace a lot of the
things in your house, but you have some keepsake like
that that you've had for all those years.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That's really rough.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Like the French horns you played in the All American
College band at Disneyland back in two thousand and.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Eight at Disneyland. At Disneyland, that was the time of
my life.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Jennifer says she and her family will rebuild their home
in Camerio. She's thankful to the firefighters. She's also very
grateful to you the community.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
The outpouring of love has been incredible from the community.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
So when you think about the sparkle of Toy Drive,
you got think about the kiddos, because this is what
it's all about.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, that's very nice. I like that reporter, Is that
to Leo's Leo Stalwarths I was gonna.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Say, every time I heard his voice, I kept thinking
it was Bill Cosby.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No, I like, there's a certain emotion in his voice.
He does a nice job with these kind of warm,
fuzzy stories and then he'll give you the for some
of the more intense stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I like his presentation there alsuly do.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
He's got a great sort of demeanor about him. It
seems like a guy that really it seems like a
good guy.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
First off.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, he does a he does a nice job.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So that Camaio family, I mean, they lose their home
in that mountain fire and they get that heartwarming holiday
surprise which helps take a little bit of the sting
out of the holiday season for sure. But uh, just
one of the good stories that has come to pass
this holiday season alongside many of the heartbreaking stories.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There are strikes going going on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You know about the Starbucks strike, you know about the
Amazon strike where there's another strike that is percolating, and
I'll tell you about that next. It's the Tim Conway
Junior Show. Tim's off for the holidays. I figure he
went up north, right, That's what I'm thinking. He went
up to Oregon, at least.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
For some of the time. I think he was going to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, yeah, so I got the new car too, so
he was going to take his time going that is.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
A nice ride. That is a nice ride.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And I think I accidentally he was keeping it wasn't
he keeping it quiet as to what kind of car
it was? And then I accidentally revealed it, I believe
in one of our exchanges. Yes, anyways, it is really
a sweet car. Anyway, Tim's away, He'll be back in
the new year.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Looking forward to MOE at seven. And there is breaking news,
of course out of San Diego County. A military helicopter
flying out of Camp Pendleton made a fiery but at
non injury emergency landing along I five, just north of
Ocean Side. Touched down in an open area west of
the freeway and north of Aliso Creek in the rest
(08:13):
area there on the grounds of the Northern San Diego
County Military base. It happened around four o'clock. There were well,
there were rescue teams on the scene, but it was
a dramatic scene at that the helicopter became engulfed in flames.
All the personnel aboard the aircraft able to get out safely.
(08:34):
Not immediately clear what forced the emergency landing which led
to problems of course in the I five in the area.
But glad everybody got out of that. That's the word
out of Camp Pendleton. There is a life threatening allergy
risk that has caused Fredo Lay to recall some of
Lay's Classic potato chips. Freedo Lay recalling a limited number
(09:00):
of thirteen ounce bags of Lais Classic potato chips. This
is a body blow during the holidays.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Does it feel like there's been a string of food recalls?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Yes, every day something new because.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
We're reporting it here, so it does feel that way.
From Kirkland Signature brand organic eggs potentially infected with salmonilla
to carrot products from grim Way Farms that's potentially contained
with E.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Coali.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Two millions of pounds of bruce pack ready to eat
meat and bores had Deli products tainted by it. Lasteria.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
When you list them like that, you know, and the
partridge in a pear tree, I mean it's pretty vertical.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Carrot products from grim Way Farms potentially contained with E.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Coli.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Two millions of pounds of bruce pack, ready to eat
meat and bores had Deli products tainted by it. Lasteria
many consumers maybe wondering.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Which is why we're down to potato chips, And I
want to know what's happening with the one.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Recalls the normal or is there something actually going on
with our food supply. So on that question, the FDA
told us that food recalls in twenty twenty four are
quote generally consistent with years past, and that most recalls
are carried out of carried out voluntarily by the companies
themselves when a problem is found, which again, according to
the FDA, shows that the system is actually working. The
(10:18):
FDA also reminded us that you.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Was, Yeah, I'm not a big believer I don't have
a lot of faith in sometimes the companies counting on
the companies to recall their own stuff. I don't mean
to be cynical, but she mentioned the boarshead thing. I mean,
you know what happened after the boar's head thing. I mean,
(10:40):
people started dying from this listeria that was in that
boar's head meat. And so what happened They went and
inspected the boar's head meat factory, Okay, and do you
remember what they found?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It was an absolute hell hole. There were.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Every manner of violations that were everywhere. It was like
one big violation. This is the high end meat, the
high end deli meat bores head. So this idea that well,
you know, most of the companies, we leave it to
them to spot these things and recall it. Well, policing
(11:22):
themselves isn't always the most effective way to go, But
I get it. The FDA saying that's the way it is,
and for the most part, the system works well.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
According to the FDA, shows that the system is actually working.
The FDA also reminded us that US food supply remains
one of the safest in the world.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
One of are you not reassured?
Speaker 8 (11:41):
And by the way, it's not only food recalls that
have many people wondering what's safe to eat. It's the
food ingredients and food processing too. Social media and wellness
books are full of talk of so called ultra processed food,
which includes additives that are banned in other countries and
maybe linked to health problems in this one.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
No foods so good but so bad for you.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
And maybe linked to health problems in this one. And
now there's a new lawsuit just filed against some of
the country's largest and most profitable makers of that food.
Claiming they engineered the ultra process chemically modified products to
be addictive and over consumed that they targeted kids in
the process and that they allegedly know the products cause
increased risks of severe physical injuries. That's a quote in kids,
(12:29):
including type two diabetes, liver disease, other chronic diseases, as
well as for the company as well. They have an
industry group that represents food and beverage makers and it
told Reuters that there is no agreed upon scientific definition
of ultra processed foods and adding that it's misleading to
classify foods as onhealthy simply because they are processed.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
But back to the big question, what do I eat?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
And will You're gonna stop judging me when I get
the chips in the soda the checkout aisle.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Yeah right, you do not I do.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I love a baggage chief.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I used to be able to eat an entire bag
of chips. Not only be able to, I mean I
couldn't resist eating the entire bag of chips when I
would get it at the supermarket.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It was the first thing.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I always made sure it was on top, and I
would just I would rip that bag of chips open
and I would eat the entire bag right there in
the parking lot. What's your go bag, well, I mean chips.
I loved What's not my go bag? Everything? I love
the kettle chips. I like the ruffles, the Ridges, the Lays,
the I mean Lay's Classic Lays, Barbecue. It's all great.
(13:32):
I've never met a potato chip I didn't love. And
I'm telling you used to inhale them by the bag.
And now Freedom Lay is recalling these thirteen ounce bags
of Layers Classic Potato chips. They are saying that some
consumers could experience a life threatening allergic reaction. There is
(13:53):
an undeclared allergen, is what they're saying inside these bags.
The FDA said it had been alerted by a consumer
that the product might contain undeclared milk. The bags of
chips affected by the recall were distributed to some retail
stores and e commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington. Not
(14:13):
clear that there are any in California, but those with
an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk
of a serious or life threatening allergic reaction. According to
the FDA, there have been no allergic reactions related to
this recall yet and no other laysed products, flavors, sizes,
(14:33):
or variety packs are affected.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
That's a load off my mind. So the.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You know, the general thing they tell you to do
is dispose of the product if it's one of the
recall products, or return it to the retailer for a
full refund. You know, Costco recalled eighty pounds of store
brand butter because of that key ingredient milk missing from
the products label. So this is not unprecedented, this kind
(15:02):
of elen eleventh hour realization that there is milk in
there and it was undeclared or such that it affects
the public at large. Potentially, there is a pressure campaign
on Kaiser to make a deal with the union representing
Southern California therapists. They've been striking Kaiser permanente and there
(15:29):
doesn't look to be any wiggle room at all. These
are therapists and the actual therapists at Kaiser are on strike.
They say there are scab therapists that are being offered there.
The preferred therapists go on strike, and if you're you know,
(15:52):
getting therapy at Kaiser, they give you, you know, the
fill in therapist of you will, and many are saying
those who support the strike that they keep offering me
scab therapists, but I don't want to cross the picket line.
But there is a strain on patients and providers because
of this mental health strike at Kaiser Permanente. In the
(16:12):
last three years, twenty four hundred Kaijer therapists, clinicians other
National Union of Healthcare workers went out strike on October
twenty first in southern California. They want more time and
resources for their workday to help them with critical patient
care duties. They want pension benefits restored, they want cost
(16:35):
of living wages increased.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
And then there are a handful of non.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Productive bargaining sessions that have now ended and they are
no further meetings scheduled, so this strike may go on
for a long time. Kaiser Permanente says the strike's unnecessary.
The proposal on the table they feel the union should
take meantime that continues this holiday season at a time
(17:03):
when a lot of people need therapists and need something
or someone or some system to lean on. The Kaiser
Permanente strike continues with therapists in Southern California. It's a
tim Conway Junior Show when we come back. More men
(17:25):
are addicted to this. They're calling it the crack cocaine
of men. It is not a drug, but is truly addictive.
We'll tell you about that next.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Moe Kelly coming up at seven o'clock. They're calling it
the crack cocaine that's affecting more men than women. The
addiction is the stock market. People are getting hooked on
trading in the stock market. I mean everything from huge losses,
(18:07):
hundreds of thousands of dollars in trading losses, having to
borrow from a loan shark to double down on stocks
because you still believe that the investment is a good one,
and then finding yourself without any money. Piece in the
Wall Street Journal essentially details the rise of so many
(18:27):
of these options traders, and with the use of brokerage
apps like robin Hood and meme Stock. You know, the
running up of the game Stop for example, that everybody
kind of jumped on and the price runs up. You
begin to think that, you know, this is an easy
game to beat.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Really created a lot of people who are hooked on trading.
You can trade from home, right, you can trade from
wherever you are. Now, these apps and brokerage apps are
more accessible than ever and they are more ways and
more vehicles to invest your money than ever before. And
I've left out one thing which may be one of
(19:12):
the biggest ways in which people.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Are hooked, and that's crypto.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Buying and selling crypto on apps that make trading as
easy as ordering takeout on Uber Eats is something that
is now affecting more and more younger people generally in
this society. So you add this to sports betting, which
has now become an accepted pastime. Right, there's spots like
(19:41):
crazy about sports betting. You can't watch any sports without
seeing Jamie Fox, and he's the one who comes to
mind with Kevin Hart and all these celebrities who are
telling you how easy it is to jump on the
MGM app and bet on a game. So the idea,
(20:02):
somehow that these all come together in some way to
enrich people is starting to fade. And you know, you'll
always hear a story of how people made so much
money in the dot com run up. You always heard
oh my god, you know, I bought this stock at
six and now it's at six hundred, and like you know,
only fifteen hours have gone by. I mean, there's all
that stuff, the rags to riches stuff, and the stock
(20:25):
market has had a tear this year, right, and then
you have Bitcoin, which recently topped one hundred thousand dollars
for the first time, and that's tempted people into piling
into speculative trading. So Gambler's Anonymous is actually where many
of these people are going, those who have ended up
(20:48):
in a bad place after all of this, And it's
modeled after alcoholics. Anonymous dates back to nineteen fifty seven.
It's been around a long time, and attendees show up
from all over and deal with what is this gambling jones?
And it's not limited to sports is they say, it's
(21:10):
limited to almost nothing. Crypto prices, stock options, These are
all things that have sucked people in. Just reading the
Wall Street Journal article, there are so many people who've
sworn off gambling after getting sucked into sports gambling, but
(21:31):
they end up in the stock market, which is the
same thing. I mean, it's really just a casino, a
legalized casino, and the cycle of the adrenaline rush, the
buying and selling, the trading more frequently staying up all night.
These are all of the stories that you hear and
(21:52):
read about in this Wall Street Journal piece. And they
say that the problem is getting worse, that the gamble
or anonymous hotlines are fielding more calls than ever before.
You know, Conway and I talk about gambling on sports
and it's it's a mug's game, as they say, you know,
it's like you just can't beat it. I mean, I
(22:14):
will tell you it is impossible to beat it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
As people like you intend that, you know, do a
little gambling here and there, knowing that it seems odd
to me because I'm I'm don't I'm not a gambler.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
I don't really because I don't like to lose money.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
And the house always wins? Does that not resonate to people?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Well, it's like walking through the Vegas casino speaking of
the house, any casino that you want, and you could say, well,
the house is always going to win. The odds are
with them, but the temptation that, yeah, but I can
maybe win in a short session of blackjack or whatever. Yeah,
(23:00):
And the same is true when you buy a lottery ticket.
I mean, you can't tell me when you buy a
lottery ticket. And they're jillions of people buying these things
nationwide because they want to win that pot of gold
that they don't know that the chances of winning are
three over three million to one.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Sure, but there's the difference between you know, doing it
every once in a while when the jackpot gets really big,
and spending hundreds of dollars at one time, or even
doing it every week.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There's a difference between. Sure, No, I agree there's a difference.
But the idea just to what you were saying, which
is what you know, the house wins. I mean, in
that case, the house really wins overwhelmingly.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I mean, you know what I mean, it's over three
million to one. You know that you're going to work,
I will be.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Buying tickets on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Absolutely, so you see the cognitive dissonance as they say, there,
but what were you saying.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
The difference between you know, doing it like that and
the people that had the real problems with that.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Sure, no, of course, you're right.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
If you look, if you're putting the rent money into
lottery tickets, then you have a problem. Yeah, well, you
have a problem understanding bad odds. I mean there, if
you're gonna put the rent money into something aside from rent,
they're probably a better investments.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Bella, do you play? You you gamble at all?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I do.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I have a membership with Caesar's Resorts Hila River in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Excuse me, we have a ranking officer on deck all
of a sudden, get around.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I wish Conway were here to hear this. This is great.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh yes, my ex my kid's moms. She's a huge
online poker player and she's always she does well enough
to where she's always like, we always talk about these cruises,
these poker cruise. She keeps winning more of them, so
she goes on two or three every year.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
The poker.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Poker is an interesting mix of both gambling and skill.
But you could say that about a lot of gambling,
you really could? You say, Well, you know what, I
play blackjack and I keep track of the cards, and
that's a of gambling and skill.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Yeah, like roulette. Somehow there's some sort of skill in there.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But I I'll tell you what I heard was the
worst bet in the casino, the worst table game in casinos,
and Bella, maybe you'll be able to back me up.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't play this game, but I was talking to
somebody who's a real casino rat who was saying, there's
one thing.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Don't go near it. It's always near the door.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's always the thing that the first thing you're going
to see when you walk into a casino, and it's
three card poker. They say that the odds there are
really stacked against you.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I've had really good I guess luck on three card
wore one of the few hard games that I really
always do well on. Wow, you want to call it
luck or whatever, but I always seem to do really
well more than any other gambling.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Wow, that's something. Well, maybe you know, maybe this person
is wrong. Maybe it's the best bet at the casino.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I mean, I don't think I've ever lost walking away
from a three card table.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I mean it's got played like, oh my god, so
much like Bello over here.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, Bella, are you up up or down? Lifetime?
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Oh? We do have to get into that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Have you had a winning month this past year?
Speaker 6 (26:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
No, mad respect, mad respect, I understand, I really do.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
It's just around the corner.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, the big win, the big score is coming next time.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, it is the Conways Show. Tim would be so
proud that we're talking about gaming and gambling.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Most coming up. Mo Kelly will be joining in minutes.
The CEO shooting suspect Luigi is being moved to notorious
facility that's housing Diddy, both of them awaiting trial. Manngioni's
(26:58):
twenty six. He was transported to this facility and listed
as an inmate this morning. According to online records, he
is being defended by an incredibly talented attorney, Karen Friedman
(27:19):
Agna Filo. She's going to represent Mangoni in New York.
You know, she was a guest on my YouTube show,
and I'll tell you why I had her, because she
is insanely good in terms of a legal analysis, and
she was doing a podcast at the time and we'd
heard it and we said we released to get her
(27:39):
on the show, and she came on and she was great. Well,
you know again, time passes and this CEO thing goes
down and there she is alongside Mangioni and she'll defend
him in New York now, there's not a lot of
wiggle room here. But one of the things she said
before she was his attorney, she said that there might
(28:03):
be some kind of mental state wiggle room, if there
is any. So the husband of Karen Friedman Agnafilo is
Mark Agnefilo, and he is going to be representing who
Sean Combs. So they're both there in the same facility.
(28:30):
The CEO shooting suspect and Diddy and this husband wife
team will be representing the two of them. I guess
they can carpool to this facility to meet with their clients.
He was just moved into this facility this morning apparently,
and we will see there is a well. He made
(28:55):
his initial appearance right in New York Federal Court. Was
that just yesterday, wasn't it? But he has many court
appearances ahead of him. Would Californians support seceding from the
United States. I always love these stories because it's just
not practical. I mean, if any state was going to
push away, I suppose California could. We've got the economic
(29:18):
engine to do it. But the idea is somehow that
you know, as a group. In California, the voters voted
overwhelmingly against Donald Trump. But let's be honest, there are
really two different Californians here. I mean, they're the Californians
who live in the cities and they're Californians who live
in the Central Valley.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
And much of the state is red.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
So I mean, even though we see California as this
place that's blue, as I say, the stark, reality is
a lot different if you get out into the central
Valley up north, you know, et cetera. But anyway, to
the point, So the world's fifth largest economy, it is argued,
could push away from the.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
And leaving the US.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Could make financial sense, they say, since we contributed seventy
two billion dollars more to the federal government, then we
get back. The idea of succession isn't new. It's gained
a lot of traction worldwide. South Sudan Brexit Quebec had
two referendums in Canada and these narrowly missed. In the US,
(30:28):
hexas Republicans have pushed for a succession vote. As you know,
the Texans are always talking about seceding. And in twenty seventeen,
just a year into Trump's first presidency, there was a
poll that found nearly a third of California and supported
a peaceful withdrawal from the US. I'm chuckling because it
just is so absurd on one level, right anyway, there's
(30:54):
no proposed amendment, you know, being floated, but it is
just interesting that you wouldn't need much You'd only need
nine hundred thousand signatures for secessionists to get on the ballot. Again,
I think it kind of silly, but I also think
it interesting because one of the things that you lose
(31:17):
track of in these conversations is how much you use
at federal government. There are all kinds of federal programs,
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, you know, veterans programs. These are
all things that interlock with the federal government. So the
idea somehow that you know, you can just push away
from the table because you're not happy with the election,
it's kind of absurd. But California does have muscle, and
(31:40):
I'm hopeful that we can, you know, continue to flourish
even though there is an administration there that many.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
People didn't vote for, but many people did vote for it.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And finally some good news and oil drilling facility in
West LA that's been the focus of neighborhood health concerns
for decades. It's fine going to be coming down. The
council members voted twelve nothing on Wednesday this week to
formally terminate the city's agreement with operators of the West
Pico pumping station. It's in the nine thousand block of
(32:14):
West Pico Boulevard at Doheeny. It's been extracting crude oil
since nineteen sixty five, but neighbors have complained about foul smells, noise.
So this is a closure agreement and a major victory,
according to council Member Katie Yuoslavsky in a statement, for
(32:35):
two long oil drilling sites like this one have jeopardized
the health of residents and exposed families to unacceptable health
and safety risks. So under the agreement, city leadership is
going to work with the operators of this facility to
wind down this entire thing and enact zone changes that
would increase residential opportunities on that site. So your long
(33:00):
West La centered nightmare ends. Congratulations all, and Merry Christmas,
Happy holidays. Moe Kelly is standing by his in the
bullpen now, just warming up. I can see it loosening, loosening,
that terrific body.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
That he brings in here to KFI. You know he's
an athlete. Mo's a will tuned machine.

whole gang until Monday. Everybody, have a great weekend. All
