Fortunately, we are starting to shift a bit from pressing fire coverage, but KFI is still the destination to keep everyone impacted by the fire informed. And there is good news as Tim knows two people who have already been taken care of by the FEMA recovery centers. It’s pretty rare to go deal with the government and have positive reviews. And Tim shares key information about receiving FEMA disaster assistance.  
4:20pm – Tim discusses price gouging, and how it may even happen ‘unintentionally’ by getting multiple rent offers due to the newly more competitive housing market. And the search for human remains unfortunately continues in Alta Dena where the Eaton fire has caused mass destruction. And a firefighter lost his personal home, when he was forced to flee as a result of the Eaton fire.  
4:35pm – Tim talks about Randy Newman’s song “I Love LA,” specifically the line about the “Santa Ana winds blowing,” and questions whether it’s time for a lyric change due to fire sensitivity. Go vote @ConwayShow on X, to voice your opinion on whether the lyric change should occur.  
4:50pm – Conway lets listeners know where they can get help from FEMA. And reignites the Randy Newman debate reviewing the poll results on X. And Tim compares Randy Newman’s version of ‘I Love LA,’ to Kris Jenner’s rendition of it called “I Love My Friends,” from her 30th birthday.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI AM sixty.
It is the Conway Show. All right, we're back together again.
We're talking about the fires, the victims of the fires.
And while we might weave some topics today that aren't

(00:21):
fire related, we'll probably try to slowly get back into
into normal. But it's so hard to ignore all those
people who have access to no internet, perhaps no cell phone,
no TV, no newspaper, can't read you know, your news
online and they rely on AM sixty KFI AM six forty,

(00:42):
And so I think it's the least we can do
for all these people in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades, Malibu.
There are a lot of people who are getting a
lot of information from radio and and so we have
to we have to continue doing that, continue giving them
information and as much as we can.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
There is good news. I have.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I know two people who live out I should not
I don't say where they live. They live in fire torn
up areas, they live in the fire zones. One of
them lost a house, the other one didn't. And FEMA
has taken care of both of them already, which is great.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
That's great news.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
The FEMA recovery centers are going to be the important
locations for people in LA and people in Altadena over
the next couple of months, maybe the next couple of years.
And FEMA is here to help us. They set up
very quickly, they're on the ground, they have tons of agents,
and the people have already gone through that. At least

(01:47):
the people I know said they've done an outstanding job.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
That's rare.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
You know, when you come back, you've had to deal
with the government. You come back and you have positive reviews,
reviews pretty rare. But they both, I said, the femas
knocked it out. FEMA is helping them out. So let's
find out more about FEMA.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
This is the Pasadena City College, but it's the Community
Education Center. And yes, this is where FEMA has set
up an assistance location.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
And look, it's pretty much full. It's been like this
for most of the day.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
They say this is really one stop shopping where they're city,
county and other agencies also here to provide assistance.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Now, FEMA says.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
They're already more than forty thousand applications. One thing official
gant to stress is that this is not first come
for serve. They say there will be enough help for
everyone who needs it.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
It was hard enough seeing it in the foot right,
this is not first first serve.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Also here to provide assistance.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Now, FEMA says they're already more than forty thousand applications.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Okay, forty thousand applications is a lot. That's a lot.
It's going to increase, but that's still a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
One thing official gant to stress is that this is
not first come for serve.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Why not first come for serve?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Why would that not be first come, first serve? Are Well,
maybe there's a point. Maybe if somebody has had, you know,
just their mailbox burned down, you're right, maybe they go
to the back of the line. Somebody's had their home,
their school, their office, their grocery store, their car, their
kid's school, everything's burned down, you're right. I think they

(03:15):
should be in front of line. So I agree with this.
I agree with this.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
This is not first come for serve.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
First come, first serve is for people who are going
to get an ice cream cone. People have been burned
out of their home. That we should have the victims
who have lost the most and need the most help
up front.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
They say there will be enough help for everyone who
needs it.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
It was hard enough seeing it enough photo, but it
was a thousand times worth seeing in a person.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Sadly, that's what happened to Irene Rodriguez from Altadina. She
showed us a picture of what's left of her home,
burned to the ground. She says she lost everything, and
now she's here talking with FEMA and other agencies hoping
she can rebuild.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
I'm cute right now to talk to someone in person,
but I hope and I trust what I read that
they will make us whole. There's a ton of resources
in the room behind you that I'm going to be
talking to for additional assistance.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
FEMA says, this is what people need to do. The
first thing is go online to sign up.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay, this is important, very important. Please listen to this.
If you're a victim of these fires, this is excellent
information that's coming your way, So listen carefully. Look, I
know you listen to radio half assed. I do the
same thing. You know, when I'm at home, I listen
that out of one year and I'm doing something else.
This is very important if you're in your car, turn

(04:32):
your rate up just a bit. If you know anybody
who perhaps is looking for help and they're elderly, or
their compromise somehow and maybe they can't get around, please
listen to this information.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
FEMA says, this is what people need to do. The
first thing is go online to sign up. That way
you'll have a case number and you can bring that
case number when you come here and speak with FEMA officials.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
So if they come down here, our teams can answer
their questions, can let them know what types of assistance
they may be eligible for, and walk the step by
step through that application process. Upload documents. Those are things
that we will help people do. On the grounds at
this disaster recovery center.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Many lost valuable documents such as driver's licenses, marriage wreckers,
even the title to their home. The county is working
on that so that you can get those documents right
away at no cost. You'll need those documents to apply
for assistance.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I wonder what your priority would be if you lost
your license, the deed to your home, and your marriage license,
your marriage certificate. Wonder what order I'd put that in.
Wonder what order my wife would put that in. I
would say the deed to the house first, license second,

(05:46):
I think, and then marriage. That would be my order.
I think that's probably my wife's order as well. She
might even ignore the last one. That's possible.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
The county is working on that so that you can
get those documents right away at no cost. You'll need
those documents to apply for assistance.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
The county Registrar Records office that provides marriage licenses, birth certificates,
all kinds of official documentation. They are working with us.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh my god, people have got to start over with
everything everything.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
Oh, it's unbelievable to expedite and provide those those documents.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now, this center will open every day at nine am.
And there is a second location and that's in West
LA and that's closer for the people involved in.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
The Palisades fire.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
And that place is the UCLA Research Park, West Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Here's where these research Here's where these FEMA disaster recovery
centers are. There's one at UCLA that Research Park West
ten eight point fifty West Pico Boulevard one zero eight
five zero ten eight fifty ten thousand and eight to
fifty West Peko bul Ard. That's in La at nine

(07:02):
double sixty four for you zip code nuts out there.
Hours of operations nine am to eight pm. They're going
to stay open late nine am to eight pm, and
I believe it's seven days a week. Pasadena City College
Community Education Center thirty thirty five three ZHO three five
East Foothill Boulevard in Pasadena three zero three five East

(07:27):
foot East Foothill Boulevard in Pasadena nine one one zero six.
Operation hours again nine am until eight pm, and I
think if you're in line at eight pm, they they
probably will help you out. I think they're going to
do everything they can to help you out. You can

(07:47):
apply for the for the eight seven hundred and fifty
from FEMA, which they deposit directly into your account, and
I think the initial offer is some money seven hundred
and fifty dollars, and I think it's thirty days. If
you've been burned out of your place so you can't
go back to your place because of these fires, I
think you get a thirty day voucher for a hotel

(08:09):
and then they give you a list of hotels that
you can choose from. So again, there are two locations.
The one at UCLA is if that's closest to you.
It's ten eight fifty West Pico one zero eight five
zero West Peko Boulevard and the other ones in Pasadena
at thirty thirty five three zero three five East Foothill

(08:32):
Boulevard in Pasadena.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Eight am.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I'm sorry, nine am until eight pm, nine am until APM.
But maybe want to get there early and jump in line,
and they will will take people who have really been
affected the most. I think they'll make them the priority,
which is probably the way we all should operate in life.
And the people who've had, you know, a lawn chair burn,

(08:56):
You're not going to be made whole immediately.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's just the way it works.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
All right, that's great information, And let me play the
rest of the audio here.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And then we will move on.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
There's more audio here to expedite and provide those documents.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Now.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
This center will open every day at nine am. And
there is a second location and that's in West La
and that's closer for the people involved.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
In Okay, all right, we played the whole thing, all right,
so get again. Two locations, one on West Peakle Boulevard
ten eight fifty West Peakle Boulevard, the other one in
Pasadena thirty thirty five East Foothill Boulevard, So Pico and
Foothill are your two locations West LA and also in Pasadena,
the FEMA Disaster Recovery centers. They're open and they're helping

(09:43):
a lot of people out. The two people that I
know have benefact have been already helped out. Both got
vouchers and both are getting direct deposits into their bank accounts.
So the assistance there. Don't be ashamed to use it.
Don't be afraid to use it. You've earned it, you've
paid taxes, you've paid into the system for many, many,
many years, and now that you need it, there should

(10:05):
be no shame involved. You should be able to use
it and get that money and get that help immediately
for you and your family.

Speaker 8 (10:14):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Let's talk about price gouging. There's always a lot of
people out there willing and able and anxious to take
advantage of everybody. The looters, the price gougers, they're out there.
Let's find out what's going on and what exactly is
price gouging. I mean, if you offer a home for
rent and somebody comes in and offers you the you know,

(10:43):
the thirty five hundred bucks that you listened for, and
then somebody leap frogs over them and says, I'll pay
you eight grand and you give you brenda to the
guy who says eight grand. I think that's technically price gouging,
you know, unless you unless you know, if you say
no to the first guy who offered you the amount
of money that you were looking for, and you said

(11:04):
no and took eight grand, I think, you know, in
normal times, that would be even steven fair deal and
everybody would move on. You know, money talks. But I
think in a natural disaster, any kind of you know,
national disaster or a local disaster like this, whether it's fire, earthquake, floods, rain,

(11:25):
whatever it is, snow up in the mountains like we
had a couple of years ago, I think it's price
gouging to do that. Let's find out. Let's find out.
Let's find out, because I don't know where price gouging
starts it end.

Speaker 9 (11:35):
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order that suspends
some permitting environmental review requirements. The governor says this will
allow victims of the wildfires to rebuild their homes and
businesses faster. Meantime, they're also new protections in place against
price gouging.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
During the state a state of emergency like there is
currently in effect inventory A County and Los Angeles County.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
It is illegal. You cannot do it. It's unlawful.

Speaker 10 (11:58):
It is a crime punishable by up to a year
in jail and ten thousand dollars fines.

Speaker 9 (12:03):
The Attorney General says his office has gotten reports of hotels,
rental properties, and other businesses charging too much for goods
and services. Under California law during an emergency, they are
only allowed to increase prices by after ten percent during
that emergency. For most of US, price gouging protections will
remain in place for thirty days, but for contractor related
services they can last for as long as six months.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
All right, six months, thirty days for everybody, but people
fixing your home six months. So be aware of that.
It sucks that we have to be aware of it.
It sucks that everybody doesn't get together and help each
other out. But it's human nature. It's human nature. A
lot of humans out there want to take advantage of

(12:44):
other human beings, and some crazies out.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
There all right, the Eaton fire.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
There was a firefighter that lost their home in the
Eating fire. And also there's human remains found out there,
and dozens of investigators are still working to determine the
cause of the Palisades fire. But let's start with the
human remains. This is always a grim story, but they're
still discovering people who stayed back, did not evacuate, and

(13:12):
they died fighting for their home.

Speaker 11 (13:15):
We're on Lake in front of a row of what
we're businesses, and you are looking alive at a team
that has been assembled with the San Diego Fire Departments
Urban Search and Rescue experts, together with CalFire, La County
Sheriff Deputies, La County Fire. They are about to go
into this area to search for possible human remains. Now,

(13:36):
these again are businesses, but apparently they had a cadaver
detection dog out here earlier and the dog hit on something.
We are told this is not confirmed that they are
human remains. Rarely is it ever confirmed ahead of time
until they actually find something again. This is on Lake
near Mendocino Street, right next to the Jack in the Box.

(13:59):
If you're familiar with the area, here across the street
from the grocery outlet in Altadina where the Eton fire
has destroyed over forty six hundred structures and that number
is expected to go up.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
And among the structures, we've seen homes and we've seen businesses.

Speaker 11 (14:17):
Here on lake there is a row of businesses that
have been lost.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, this is a really grim story where they're going
around and putting a big X if they've already you know,
had the dog sniff around. But that's also one of
the reasons why they don't want to let a lot
of people back because you might literally be walking on
human remains. That's how grim it is out there with
the Eton fire out in Altadena Arcadia, Pasadena, that area.

(14:47):
There's a firefighter that lost their home in the Eton fire.

Speaker 12 (14:50):
El Hugo is a thirty two year veteran and also
a captain of the Los Angeles Fire Department. He has
lived at his home in Alta Adina for two decades,
but was forced to flee with just a couple of
belongings and of course his wife and.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
His four large dogs.

Speaker 13 (15:10):
I can't even explain it, just thinking I want to
go home, I want to go home, knowing no home
to go to, separating my family, my four dogs. I
don't want to separate it.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I mean, can you imagine.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
I know we've talked about this for over a week now,
but it's not just the home that's gone and the school,
it's everything. It's their entire town. You know, whatever town
you live in, whether or not you know Burbank, you
know Tarzana, whether you're seem Valley, you're out in Lancaster.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Can you imagine everything gone?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
You know the stores you go to, the businesses you
go to, the you know the different you know the
hotels that are around you, your dentist, your doctor, your
doctor's off is, your vet. Everything is gone in the
in some in the South aDNA area, everything is gone everything.

Speaker 12 (16:03):
Tragically, l Hugo's home was lost in the flames, but
the fire captain did not initially think.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
His home would have been one of those destroyed.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Everybody thinks that.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Everybody thinks while they're fighting the fire and fires burning
the neighbor in town, that there's no way their home
will succumb to the fire. Everybody thinks that, and including
this fire captain, everybody does.

Speaker 14 (16:23):
You know, fire has never done what this did? This bloat,
it blows torch through my city and I've never seen
anything like it. I've been to fires here in now Tadana,
and I have history here. I had a knuckle here
when I was a young kid, so I know the city,
but this caught everybody off guard. I never seen fire
do what this did.

Speaker 12 (16:41):
El Hugo's story is another one of heartbreak but also resilience.
As the fires raised, Hugo was doing what he does best,
serving others. But now Hugo and his family need the support.

Speaker 13 (16:52):
We need help. They asked me what I need. I
don't know. It's been a so it'd be a week
tomorrow to go to Okay call it home for now.

Speaker 12 (17:04):
Well, Hugo said that his story isn't just about him,
it's about helping out all the firefighters impacted in Los Angeles.

Speaker 15 (17:10):
But I'm speaking for all my brothers and sisters.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah, we're proud.

Speaker 15 (17:13):
You know, we're supposed to help people, and it's really
uncomfortable for me to ask for help. But yeah, I
need to find a place, you know, I find a
place to keep my dogs all together because that's healing
for my wife. You know, if we got to separate him,
that would be devastating for her.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Oh my god, so many, so many things and thoughts
and so many problems to solve right now. You know
your to do list after Christmas was just to put
the decorations away and that was it. And now you
have a million things on your list, a million things
and some things you just haven't even thought about yet.
The THEEMA centers are open Ucla Research Park one zero

(17:51):
eight five zero West People Boulevard in Los Angeles, and
then the second one is in Pasadena City College Community
Education Center three zero three five East Foothill Boulevard in
Pasadena nine one one zero six, open from nine am
to eight pm. Buzz out there. The two people that
I know that have dealt with FEMA have come back

(18:11):
with raving reviews that they they would give them five stars.
They acted immediately, they got a money, they got a hotel,
and they're doing an outstanding job.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
So that's great news.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
FEMA is here doing their job and doing at least
the two people that I know have gone through beautifully
without a hiccup and just very responsive. So get out
to one of these FEMA centers. They're open from nine
am until apm. Will keep giving the address away all
day long.

Speaker 8 (18:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

We're live on KFI AM six forty more now scroch.

Speaker 16 (18:49):
Dream Center on iHeartMedia say millions of dollars have been
raised for wildfire victims.

Speaker 17 (18:53):
The partnership between iHeart and LA based nonprofit to Dream
Center has brought in more than one and a half
million dollars in k and another two and a half
million dollars in donated goods. iHeart Division President Paul Corvino
says the city has demonstrated its generosity.

Speaker 8 (19:08):
My view is that the people of Los Angeles are
all heroes.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
It's been tremendous the support that they've shown.

Speaker 17 (19:16):
The Dream Center is still collecting needed items like non
perishable food and clothes. Cash donations can be made online
or by texting Relief to thirty three one hundred Michael
Monks KFI.

Newsfour Minneapolis police officers convicted and the murder of George
Floyd has been freed. Jay Alexander King, who was released
this morning from a low security federal prison in Ohio.
He was sentenced in twenty twenty two to three and
a half years in prison. Kings now on supervised release
until March up next year. Former officer Thomas Lane, who
held Floyd's legs during the assault, was released from federal
prison last summer. The clock is ticking on TikTok being

(19:48):
banned in the US over accusation of spying by the
Chinese government.

Speaker 10 (19:52):
The law would only ban new TikTok downloads from the
Google or Apple app stores, and would let existing users
still have access for some amount of time. Users that
open the app come Sunday will see a pop up
message that directs them to a website that has information
about the ban.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
I'm Michael Cassner.

Speaker 16 (20:10):
Is there anything Trump says he opposes the ban and
wants time for the Supreme Court to or a political solution.
Will take a look at them freeways when we come back.

Speaker 1 (20:19):

Speaker 20 (22:36):
Listen up, folks, time could be running out to lock
in a historic yield at public dot com. As of
September twenty third, twenty twenty four, you can lock in
a six percent or higher yield with a bond account.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 20 (22:47):
The Federal Reserve just announced the big rate cut, and
the plan is for more rate cuts this year and
in twenty twenty five as well. That's good news if
you're looking to buy a home, but it might not
be so good for the interest you earn on your case.
So if you want to lock in a six percent
or higher yield with a diversified portfolio of high yield
and investment.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Grade bonds, you might want to act fast.

Speaker 20 (23:09):
The good news it only takes a couple of minutes
to sign up at public dot com, and once you
lock in your yield, you can earn regular interest payments
even as rates to climb. Lock in a six percent
or higher yield with a bond account at public dot com,
but hurry. Your yield is not locked in until you invest.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
We posted you see it. It's like radio, but without
the need for all that annoying imagination. Follow us now
on all the socials at AFIM six, coming down to.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
The afi AM six, it is the Conways show. We
continue talking about the fires on every level, on a
much much lower, sort of insignificant level. There's a story
out there online that they might change the lyric to
a song, a song that everybody knows, a song they

(25:43):
play when the Lakers win. I believe they play that
when the Dodgers win as well. The I Love La
Randy Newman's I Love La.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Set it with blowing Out.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Okay, that's the lyric that they're thinking about changing.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I'm not sure because no one knows what that is. Yeah, right,
Imperial Highway.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Here's the lyric that they're thinking about changing, blowing at
a Santa and the winds blowing hot from the north
where there's a pull up on X on Twitter formerly
Twitter now X at Conway Show and you can voice
your opinion there. Krozier, you're a bigger music guy than

(26:27):
I am. You are a DJ, You're a professional music artist.
I believe you've had videos in your past. You are
a music You're the music man. Isn't that play I
think based on you?

Speaker 4 (26:37):
All right?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
What is your initial instinct an initial thought about changing
that song?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Absolutely not really is that right? This is a moment
in time, as tragic as it is. Okay, all right,
I get that. And what are they going to change
you too? Are they just going to take it out completely?
I don't know, you know, what are the options.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
They've changed a lot of songs in the past. They've
changed you know, the Canadian national anthem. They changed that
where you know what the line used to be in
all our Sons come in and they changed that to
it in all of us command to involve women, right
because they're women that live in Canada. I don't know
if you've been there, and so they changed that. They've

(27:16):
changed the Kentucky Derby song. I'm not going to go
into what it said. I think if if you know,
if you know the Kentucky Derby, you know how awful
that line was.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
They've changed that. Oh now I got to google.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, you'll want to hear the old one is not good,
not good. They changed that song. They changed the Maryland song.
They've changed songs in the past, but Krozier here's where
I think they're going to run into a problem with
this song, especially this lyric.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Here with Blowing Out Brother, we were fond around. Okay,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
When the Lakers win and everybody's cheering and there's people there,
you know, who live in the Palisades, there's people there
that live in out a Dina and they hear that song,
I don't know what kind of memories it's going to
bring back.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
It's also not a song that people can recite the
lyrics to. Oh you don't think sound Oh. I think
they can.

Speaker 16 (28:14):
They can recite the chorus, but most people when that
song plays, they're not singing along with it at stadiums. Oh,
I think that the chorus you don't think sound I've
never heard that. I didn't even know that was a
line in the thing other than Imperial Highway at the
very beginning.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Is that right? All right?

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, I play that song on the way home every
every day. That's not I'm a big LA fan. I
love this LA. But stephush. Let me ask you your
you're less of a music guy. You're like me, you know,
just a guy who gets by in life when it
comes to music.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Would you change that lyric? Absolutely not?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Really to absolutely not? Wow, Angel Martinez. I don't know
your music background. I imagine it's probably pretty slim. I
don't know who your favorite artists are, but I've never
heard you even talk about music. I don't even think
you you know music exists. I think you listened to
traffic reports on the way home.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Is that true?

Speaker 9 (29:05):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (29:06):
I just love traffic reports, especially those good old fashioned
ones from the seventies. Oh yes, listen to those non
stop yeah all the time.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
What do you think about changing this lyric? Here said
it a weird blowing out from we were ball that.
What do you think you gotta leave it?

Speaker 17 (29:25):
Really?

Speaker 18 (29:25):
Change it?

Speaker 8 (29:26):
Wow?

Speaker 18 (29:26):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Man, I guess I'm the only guy with Hardow on
the show. That's happened before, that's happened before.

Speaker 18 (29:34):
You don't rewrite history just because just because.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
I mean, look, they wanted to change the name of
the Carolina hockey team because they're called the Hurricanes, you know,
and they get wiped out with hurricanes every once in
a while in that area, and they decided not to.
I think their nickname is the Canes. They still call
them Hurricanes.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
I don't know if they if they're going to. But
there's a poll up on Twitter. You can go and
express yourself there. Let me see where the poll stands
right now.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Let me vote. I haven't voted yet.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Okay, the vote is. There's four options. One is I'm
torn four percent. Who's Randy Newman at eight percent kind
of insulting, Yes, change it at five percent, and no,
leave it alone at eighty one point eight percent. Wow, man,
you guys are onto something. I guess.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't know. She put a poll up. How many
people can recite the lyrics of the first place? Yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, the Kardashians can remember she had her own version
of it.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, of my friends.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
I'll find that version and we'll play that because a
lot of people. Let me see if I can find
it really quick, okay version, all right, let's see if
I can find it here, I should pop up. Okay,
I'm gonna have to look for it. But it was great.

(31:13):
It was it was who's the mam mageer? What's her name?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Chris?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Chris, Chris Jenner, Okay, yeah, Chris Jenner's fortieth birthday, she wrote.
They rewrote the song for her about her friends, and
it's titled I Love my Friends. Oh, you know what,
I can look it up. I think I think I
have it here somewhere. Let's take a break. I'm gonna
find it. I'll play Wing get Back. It's a great version.
We busted her chops on it for quite a while.

(31:42):
It really is a great version. All right, don't forget
on a serious note, You've got you've got to know
that there are two locations open for FEMA. The experience
of friends that I've had said they're doing an outstanding job,
which is great news. UCLA Research Park ten eight fifty
West Peakle Boulevard ten eight fifty one zero eight five
zero West Peako Boulevard, and then in Pasadena at the

(32:05):
Community Education Center there at thirty thirty five three zero
three five East Foothill. Both of them open from nine
am until eight pm, nine am till apm. Get out there.
You deserve the help. You deserve the help. You've been
paying into this system for a long time. Don't be afraid,
don't be a shame. Go get your help when you
need it. You need it, Go get the help, get

(32:25):
the money, and get into a hotel where you can
breathe again and relax again.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
At least for now.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demaya from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Don't forget to get your help from FEMA. Got to
go to FEMA. They're open from nine am until eight
pm in Pico one zero eight five Oho West Pico Boulevard,
and the other one is in Pasadena three zero three
five East Foothill Boulevard. If you miss those address, we
will be saying it all day long and getting good

(32:59):
reports of people who have experienced FEMA here in Los Angeles.
So that's good news, all right. Randy Newman, I don't
know if he's involved. I don't know what the extent
or how serious it is about possibly rewriting I Love La.
And the question, the lyric and question is this one?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Is this right?

Speaker 20 (33:20):
Here?

Speaker 5 (33:20):
S W blowing out.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
We were ball.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Around, all right, and and the poll is up on Twitter.
Very the huge majority say, don't touch it, don't even
get crazy. We't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Eighty one point five percent.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Man, you can get you can't get eighty five percent
of people to do anything. And the eighty five percent say,
eighty one point five said no. The song that I
Love La was rewritten by the mamager Chris Jenner of
the Kardashian family. We used to play it all the time.

(34:03):
She turned forty and she rewrote that song and it's great.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
It is great. It's all about her. So far pretty similar.
Here we go.

Speaker 23 (34:27):
November fifteen, and now I'm thirty, oh thirty?

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Sorry, sorry, it was when she turned thirty. Say that's
the reason, right, yeah, right, she turned thirty. Sorry, sorry, Chris.
If you're listening, I apologies to you.

Speaker 24 (34:41):
And now I'm thirty, riding down my highway with my
friends at my side.

Speaker 23 (34:46):
My life without them wouldn't be complete.

Speaker 12 (34:49):
They are my joy and pride.

Speaker 23 (34:53):
I learned a lot from my good friends about turning
thirty on.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
The left street.

Speaker 23 (35:00):
Stop we're a party, Tell me does can't party no more?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
How about that? Dig I'm the last to reach that.

Speaker 1 (35:07):

Speaker 24 (35:17):
We're being unpowerful new sleep Bible Sady keep kick back, Tama,
Rico and Barbara join this party.

Speaker 2 (35:30):

Lots of tennis. Maybe showers, birthday party Malentino or non
Sunday Hemry Budy very happy, has the further shine in
all the time like another fun build days, Hello my friends.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
And so she went to all the restaurants that she
goes to and she videotaped the mader d and the
waiters saying that we love you.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Do they look as uncomfortable as I would imagine they would.

Speaker 1 (36:10):

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Sure, Chris, anything you like anything you like.

Speaker 16 (36:24):

she tips them.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, maybe maybe maybe the best part's coming up, the
greatest parts coming up.

Speaker 24 (36:47):
It gets better.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Oh, it gets much better, broch, Hold on, look at
my friends.

Speaker 2 (37:02):

name is, her name is, if she's like listening to
CAF I like, I'll turn on the radio.
