Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
And I'm that wind.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The weather over the weekend might be rained this weekend.
So well, there's a big factor now in LA. Didn't
used to be nowadays. The Dodgers have gotten healthier. They're
putting together an all star team for the All Star break,
and it looks like they've added yet another great player,
David Vassa, who is with the Dodgers and he's with us.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
David Vassa, how you, Bob.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I'm doing great Conway. I'm at Crypto dot Com Arena
to watch the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Wow, all right, you're really into sports, hon dude.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
My first Laker game of the season. I got invited.
It's a free ticket, so I said, okay, and you
know my power might go off Conway, so I figured
why not?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh really, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Oh yeah, I'm an Edison customer where anytime there's some wind,
they shut off the power.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh I told you not to move in that area.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Hey, buddy, what what did What did the Dodgers do
to get healthier like they needed it?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Well, they have pat back into the Japanese market Conway.
They made the biggest splash of the off season again
by signing one of the best international pitchers in Major
League Baseball, and that his name is Roki Sazaki. He's
twenty three years old. He was the most coveted pitcher
(01:32):
this free agency this side of Tokyo, and the Dodgers
beat out the Padres, the Toronto Blue Jays, and I
would say fifteen other teams that he was considering. And
he is joining Shohei Otami and Yoshi Yamamoto, two of
his teammates from Team Japan and the World Baseball Classic.
(01:52):
He throws one hundred He throws one hundred and two
miles an hour. He has a devastating split finger fastball,
and he's not a finished product. So the Dodgers just
got one of the best and they don't even have
to pay that much for him because he's an international
sign What do.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
They pay him?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Six million dollars?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Wow, what a steal. That's great.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You know, they use their international pull money for him,
and he'll make the league minimum, which is about seven
hundred and seventy thousand dollars for the next couple of years.
So it's like they just find a rookie, a bargain
rookie that has the stuff and the potential to be
one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball within
(02:40):
the next three or four years.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
How tall is this kid?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I mean usually have to be pretty tall to consistently
pitch one hundred and two miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
See, you're exposing yourself again for being a baseball seamad
six three sixty three around two hundred plus pounds. I
really don't get into people's weight, but he's six three.
He is more of a stature in size to Shoho
Tani than Yoshiyamamoto, who is considerably under six foot.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So the Dodgers, I mean, the Padres, the Giants, they've
got to be pulling their hair out with all these acquisitions.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The entire league is not only did the Dodgers sign
this kid, but then they dipped into the major league
free agent market again and signed the best relief picture
available by the name of Tanner Scott, and then doubled
down and signed one of the top three relief pictures
on the free agent market in Kirby Yates. And they're
(03:42):
just continuing to add on to what already is a
super team, and basically the message is him the time
is now, the window is now, and it is in
the next five years. And obviously they are making quite
a bit of revenue because of the market in Japan
and the interest in the Dodgers, and they're doing something
(04:05):
that not every team in baseball does, reinvesting the profits
into the baseball roster. So nobody can hold them, you know,
you can't hold a grudge against them for doing.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That, right, you know, I'm surprised that the Chicago Cubs
aren't a better team. You know what, that old They
haven't spent any money on a stadium. That's an old,
crappy stadium. I know, it's a you know, it's a landmark,
and it's a you know, and people like going there,
but it's it's really, you know, uncomfortable considering these modern stadiums.
So they don't put any money in the stadium. And
they get and they're an international, internationally recognized organization. They
(04:40):
sell a lot of shirts and hats and jackets and everything.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
They have a ton of money. They're just not putting
it back on the field.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Number One, they have renovated Wrigley Field. They were talking
about a Cub's dynasty in twenty sixteen that completely self
flat on Waveland Avenue back there. As the owner, Tom Rickett,
it has bought a lot of the proper property around
Wrigley Field, and so he's making a lot of money
(05:07):
in real estate around there. So yeah, there's no excuse
for teams like the Cubs not to reinfest and spend
on their team. But look, there's a lot of envy
out there, maybe because the Dodgers are putting pressure on
other teams and other owners to start spending some money
to make their team better, because their fan bases are
(05:29):
looking around and saying, what's going on with us?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I got an idea this All Star season, the rest
of the league puts together a team against the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I love that. I don't even think that would be
good enough to beat them.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Wouldn't that be great and embarrassing at the same time.
If the Dodgers went out and they're just wasted and
just rolled over the All Star team.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Well, that's the beauty of baseball, right sim You know
that you can have the best lineup, the best pitching,
But you know, baseball is not like the NFL or
the NBA. It is such a unique sport, and it's
the beautiful game, not soccer.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Right, But bess A, I think the Dodgers. You know,
the over under on the team is always one hundred games.
You know, are they gonna win more than one hundred?
That number might be one twenty or one ten.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
This year it really could be the Seattle Mariners. Echiro
Suzuki was just elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
His team in the early two thousands won one hundred
and sixteen games in one season. They lost in the
first round. There's a very good chance if the Dodgers
stay healthy, they could eclipse that record.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know, I haven't been to the stadium in quite
some time. Is oral Herscheizer still in this starting lineup?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
See there you go, Conway. We know you've been to
the stadium. We know you love it. Oral Ersheizer is
in the broadcast starting list. Joe Data, I forgot about
the A team, the A team, Conway, right.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I forgot about that. I got to make that note.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I always make that mistake with you.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It's all about you talking to trucks.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
But there was a world out there, buddy.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
That's a true story. That's great.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Who are talking to truck drivers at nine and I
was calling Ross porter at nine years old.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I did the same thing. I used to call Al Downing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Remember he was doing Dodger talk and when they got
right and when when you got through the Dodger talk
with Al Downing, this screener, the phone screener would say, hey,
don't bring up Hank Aaron's home run.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And I'm like, okay, all right, I won't. I won't.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So hey, it's Al Downing. Welcome Tim and Andsino or Tarzana.
Can I help you?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I wanted to talk about Ronsei in the hot corner.
Oh yeah, Ronsey's great guy's and me back with the Dodgers.
They sign a new deal, and hey, what was it
like pitching to Hank Aaron giving up that home run?
And he would start swearing, your money bag, I'm easy crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Try calling him on the day of Try calling him
on the anniversary of that home run to come on
a radio show.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
He's still angry. Huh, still faulty. That's so great, buddy.
Who are the Lakers?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I'm mean to the callers. They haven't heard Al Downing.
They think I'm hanging up on callers. They never heard
out Downing host Dodger talk.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's so great. Where is Al Downing now? Is he
still around parts unknown?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Conway?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, Hey, who are the Lakers playing tonight?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
The Washington Wizards formerly the Washington Bullets, who have lost
ten in a row. So I take the game. The
Lakers should win.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Why did they change the name from the Washington.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Bullets because I guess politically political correctness forced them to
thinking the Bullets was a little too violent of a name.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, you know, they changed it the year a DC
became the murder capital of the United States. Kind of,
come on, things change, things change.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Where are you get good seats to you? A wealthy
guy hook up?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah. I have a great Dodger fan who's
actually a Dodger season ticket holder that offered me an
extra ticket, So I'm out here thanks to him. Hey.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I went to a buddy of mine invited me to
a Portland Trailblazers game up in Oregon, and you tell
me if this is if you're on my side or
his side? And I said, he said, you want to go?
I said sure. So we went to the stadium. We
went up three escalators and then we got went up
forty five stairs and our backs were to the back
of the stadium. We're the very top row of the stadium, right,
(09:45):
So let me ask me. I'm want to tell you
what I said to him, and you tell me whether
I'm right or wrong I said to him. Next time
you invite a guy to the game, you have to
say they are the worst seats in the house.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
That's completely fair. Yeah, I think I've been when I
used to be invited to, you know, when Gretzky was
playing for the King's tough ticket Lakers games at the
Forum or even here at formerly Staples Center. That's proper etiquette. Sure,
if you have an extra ticket and it's in the
rafters or in the callin eight, you've got to disclaim that.
You've got to put that disclaimer on it when you
(10:20):
invite somebody.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
But you're the best.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I hope the Wizards roll over these Lakers and get
you crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Oh, come on, Conway, it's gonna be a Lakers show.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Tonight, showtime. They just lost to the Clippers, didn't they.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, they did, so they're looking to bounce back tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Buddy, you're the best. Have some food.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Hope you brought your mortgage with you or your pink
slip gets some of that food.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Free food here, Conway. Wait, well, I'm living in the highlights.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Will we be able to see you on TV? What
side are you sitting on? The players?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I don't know if you're going to see me, but
I've heard some rumors that Roki Sazaki may be court side.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh all right, well, one hundred and two miles an hour.
That's something else with that guy.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
He could throw that speedball by Conway.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's right, dude, Not me, but most guys. Buddy, you're
the best. Thanks for coming on, and we'll catch you
at the stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Can't wait. We'll see you and Oral Hershier together.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Thanks, buddy, all right. David Vez say, he's great. He's
with the LA Dodgers. He's been with them for fifteen
years or so. He does pregame, postgame and a couple
of he'll do color on a couple of games if
like Rick Monday's not there. But that guy's great, David
Vaz say, Man, I've known him ever since the day
I started here at the station.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That dude is really cool.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Guy.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The tik TikTok is in the news, TikTok and TikTok TikTok,
and they have a new window, a new window for
TikTok ninety days. The window will be closing in ninety
days unless they can sell half of this company. I
think Donald Trump said they one of the offers was
(12:10):
selling half of this company to a US company. I
think he made a mistake today when he said, well,
you know the value of TikTok is it jillion dollars.
It's not a jillion dollars, but it's billions, billions and billions.
One hundred and seventy million Americans open up their computer
(12:30):
or their phone every day and look at TikTok. So
the window is closing in ninety days, though, unless they
can get something done. Let's find out what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Hey, I'm Neil Savedra.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
I host the four Report on KFI AM six forty,
and I've been doing radio for about two decades and
I can't remember a time when I didn't hear American
Vision windows.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This is a different This is the audio. This is
a different window audio. This is Neil Savadra's windows. This
is not the window for TikTok.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
So when it came time for my own home and
to make the decision to put two very big doors,
they came to mind instantly. My wife and I went
in an old house, so we picked it nineteen twelve house.
Once you start modifying the house, it's over one hundred
years old, and you start.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Thinking, is it going to lose its charm? Is it
going to look too modern?
Speaker 8 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Does he mentioned TikTok in it? No, he mentioned windows.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
And then when you think about putting in two massive
doors and to trust somebody with that was a really
big deal to Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
This is where he talks about putting a hole in
his house. Because we weren't just replacing window. We were
cutting in a whole new hole. I love when he
says that, a whole new hole. That's my favorite part
of that video.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
It was a really big deal to us because we
weren't just replacing window.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We were cutting in a whole new hole, a whole
new hole.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Whole new hole. All right, a bellio. That's not the audio.
Can we get the TikTok audio open?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Here it is. Well, let me do this first first.
That's a big deal, big deal TikTok.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Are you open to on TikTok?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
I wouldn't be if you wanted to buy it, you discussed.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'd like to buy it.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I have the right to make a deal.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
So the deal I'm thinking about Larry Less negotiating part
of the media.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
The deal I think is this?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Who is that croz?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Is that Larry Ellison that he's talking about, Maybe Larry Wax.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Larry Ellison and he's standing behind him. And I met
with owners of TikTok, the big owners. It's with who
owners of TikTok? T tack, tic tack to tick tax
It's worthless if it doesn't get a permit. It's not like,
oh you can take the US. The whole thing is worthless.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
With a permanent it's worth like a trillion dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I think that was a mistake to tell the Chinese
their their products worth a trillion dollars. So what we
have to pay five hundred million, five hundred billion for it?
Speaker 8 (14:53):
With a permanent it's worth like a trillion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Who's on TikTok here? CROs of course? Are you on TikTok?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I don't hit on it about a week, but yeah,
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I when the United States said it's uh the Chinese
or spying on you, I bailed. I threw it off
my phone, did you Yeah, I get paranoid like the
American spine.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh yeah, I'm all American. Put big.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I wake up in my flag sheets every day, my
flag pillow.

front of my house. I got I'm an American man,

Proud to be.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Be an American.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, at least I know I'm free down y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I fool me.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I proudly stand up next to you and something every day.

see the places, the cities, the towns, the people you'd
never see in your life. You know, I'm not a traveler.
All I would like to see. I told my daughter

this very early on in her life, and she and
she keeps asking me how it's going. But I wanted
to go into every house in the United States and
just look at it. And I'm way behind. I don't
think I have the time to do it all. But
I'd love to see the inside of every house. Just
walk in every house, just look around.

from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
We've got a.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Healthy, struggling businesses in Altadena. A lot of people are
staying away from that area because of the fires. And
when you stay away from that area, you stay away
from the businesses, and the businesses can't make any money
and they're going to go out of business, and it's
gonna it's gonna accelerate the depression and the rebuilding of
that area unless we keep these small mom and pop
businesses going in the Altadena Altadena area as well as
(19:30):
you know Pacific Palisades and and Malibu. I know it's
tough to get to some of these places. But these
small businesses are struggling. And when you can't make ends
meet and you close the doors, that further affects the
area in a very negative way. So let's try to
get out the I'll go, I'll go as well. I'm
(19:51):
not just preaching here, I'll go as well. Let's try
to get out to these businesses and uh and help
them out.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
All over Altadena you'll see businesses like this hardware store
that were just destroyed in the Eton fire.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
But then there are those like this group.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Of businesses right here that are still standing, but they
too have a long road ahead.

Speaker 11 (20:47):
A few doors down, Debbie Collins is in a similar predicament.
Speaker 12 (20:51):
But I'm just trying to get open, so I feel
like at some point there's going to be a massive
amount of paperwork.

Speaker 8 (21:26):
And I can't do anything here because I have no power.
Hopefully I can make it.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
I'm not positive I can because a large percent of
my customers are wrong now, including almost every church in
Altadena is gone.
Speaker 11 (21:38):
The Small Business Administration is offering low interest loans to
impacted businesses. They say owners won't have to make any
payments for the first year.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
We have two different types of loans. The first one
is for any physical damages they have. We also have
the economic injury this that's the loan, which is just
to help those smaller businesses and nonprofit organizations if they
are suffering economically and they're having a hard time paying
their water, electricity payroll.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
But back at car Trophy Design, Caroline's dealing with more
than just your damaged design studio.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
My yeah, my house burnt to the ground.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh my god, this poor woman.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
My yeah, my house burnt to the ground.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
She lost her home in the eating fire, and her
business has not yet reopened.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
She's leaning on the community for help.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
I've had a lot of customers reach out via email
and text, oh my god, are you okay? As soon
as you reopen, we're gonna come support you. I pray
that's true, because we're really.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Gonna need it.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Mmmm hesitancy there.
Speaker 8 (22:38):
I pray that's true.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I hope it is.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I hope they're not just bsing you. Hope when they
say they're going to support you they do. I think
they will.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I pray that's true because we're really going to need it.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I'm bringing you back out live here.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
You should know the deadline for businesses wanting a loan,
for businesses with physical damage, that is May tenth deadline.
And then for businesses who are struggling with things like
electricity or payroll and they need a loan, you have
a little bit longer until October the eighth.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
All right, but let's remember at least this one business.
Maybe we'll do a business at night that we can
help out. And this one is Miss Dragon Printed Copy,
Miss Dragon print and Copy, Miss Dragon Print and Copy.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
She needs help. We'll come back. I'm gonna give you
the address of that Miss Dragon Printing.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Copy, Miss Dragon Printed Copy.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Maybe we can get some copies made there and help
her out, Miss Dragon Print and Copy.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
This business is not open yet, just a little research online,
Miss Dragon Miss dragon Printed Copy, Miss Dragon Printing Copy.
So when it does, we'll let you know. You can
go visit it. And we should have. We should have
a lot more businesses from Altadena on are open. Yet
there's no customers because everybody's been burned to the ground.
(24:05):
And this woman does a lot of work printing stuff
for churches and a lot of the churches are gone
out there as well, So if you can visit a
business that's in that area, they're hurting and we don't
want to further complicate their lives or the people that
are going to be moving back there with business after
business being empty, and so it's gonna be a long
(24:28):
road back, but hopefully we can and I'll do my
share to I'll buzz out there and try to keep
these businesses open.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It is hell out there, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
The White House they've ordered all DEI offices, all government
DEI offices, to begin closing tomorrow. The White House Office
of Personal Management notified heads of agencies and departments that
they must begin taking steps to close all diversity, equity
(25:02):
and inclusion offices by the end of the day Wednesday
and place government workers on those in those offices on
paid leave. Acting Director of the Office of Personal Management,
Charles E. Zel or eSeL send a member to the
heads of the acting or the acting heads of department
eight agencies Tuesday evening that's tonight, directing them no later
(25:26):
than five pm on Wednesday to close everything down. And
it says here send an agency wide notice to employees
informing them the closure and asking employees if they know
of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded language,
and so at least in the government, the DEI is
(25:47):
coming to an end. A complete list of DEI offices
and employees that are going to be closed. It should
have been Oh no, it says you're a complete list
the DEI related agency contracts as of November fifth, twenty
four be closed.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And so we'll see how that goes, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
We have also on a lighter note here, there's a
lot of people in Los Angeles in southern California on ozempic,
either they wanted to try it or they've tried it
and they like it. But the weight loss drug, which
is working miracles for a lot of people, also linked
to benefits beyond dropping weight. Let's find out what's going
(26:33):
on with those zempic.
Speaker 13 (26:34):
Popular weight loss drugs like ozempic and we'll go vi
may have health benefits beyond shedding extra pounds. This is
a new study published yesterday in the journal Nature of Medicine.
It highlights the benefits but also the risks of those drugs.
Among the positives, a reduced risk of pneumonia, infections, liver failure,
lung failure and cardiac arrest.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But what, it's a cure.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
All So, if you're on ozempic to lose weight. There's
a lot of other benefits.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Lit'sen to this.
Speaker 13 (27:02):
A reduced risk of pneumonia.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Reduce risk of pneumonia.
Speaker 13 (27:06):
Infections, liver failure, lung failure, and cardiac arrest.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
But wow, everybody's got to get on this thing, evidently.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
As for the risks, increases we're seen in nausea, kidney stones,
gastro intestinal issues and what a downer whatever, inflammation of
the kidneys and pancreas. But experts warn more research and
a larger study is still needed.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Alright, alright, there's always you know, Debbie Downers all over
the place.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
That feature was brought to you by Advanced Hair One
day treatment, Life changing Results. Make your appointment today at
Advanced Hair dot com. I was driving back from Portland,
Oregon to Burbank over the weekend lass No, last weekend, yeah,
last weekend, And it was foggy, it was dark, and
(27:56):
I was coming up on Medford or Ashland, that whole
area in southern Oregon near the California border, and it
was it was too dangerous it was raining, it was
it was foggy, it was dark, and it was probably
about eight thirty nine o'clock at night. And so instead
of going over the Siscus, which is a very tall
peak there in South Oregon or northern California, I decided
(28:19):
to get a hotel for the night, you know, one
of these holiday inn Express or whatever it was days
in I remember what is. It was just a you know,
off the freeway. And I get in there ninety dollars.
Give them the ninety dollars to get a room. It's nice,
it's not great, it's not bad. It's just, you know,
it's doable. And then I open up the drapes and
I see that there's a bar across the street. I'm like, okay,
(28:41):
I go slide into the bar. Almost every bar in
Oregon has video poker, video machines, video poker slot machines.
They have about five or six of them. And that's
how that's how you pay they pay for sales tax,
sales tax, and so the sales tax in Oregon is
(29:07):
not paid for. There's zero sales tax. If you buy
a car for fifty two thousand dollars, it's fifty two
grand all right, let's and so if you buy, you know,
two tacos for ninety nine cents at Jack in the Box,
it's ninety nine cents.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It's not a dollar.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Eate.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
You buy a car for fifty grand, it's not fifty
five grand. There's no sales tax in Oregon, none, and
it's all paid for through these slot machines. So I
go in there, I go, and there's two bouncers outside
and it's literally across the street from the hotel. And said,
dive bar looks probably kind of cool. And the guy
stops me. The bouncer stops me, and he says, can
(29:44):
I see ID? And I said, yeah, showed my ID.
And I was wearing a jacket that a friend of
mine gave me, and he was His name is a
Officer Hanson, Johnny Hanson, with the bomb Squad out of
the La Sheriff's Department. And his nickname is Shaky Hands
(30:05):
Johnny Shaky Hands Hansen, which is not good if you're
in the bomb squad. So I got He gave me
a jacket that says the La County Sheriff's Department on it,
and it's a beautiful jacket.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Wear it all the time. I love it. I support
you know, guys and gals in law enforcement. And so
I walk over.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He sees my ID and then he says to me,
because there's a big emblem on the side on the
front of the jacket that says La County Sheriff's Department.
And he says to me, he says, hey, I wouldn't
go in there with that jacket on. I said, oh,
why is it. He said, ah, there's a lot of
guys who've been arrested before. And I said, oh, so
(30:46):
I was going to go back across the street to
the hotel and change the jacket. And then right then
a guy in the bar overheard that and he said, hey,
what's going on out there?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And he said, he told me not to wear this jacket.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Wait, let's quickly go to channel nine here real quick,
there's an update on this roop of fire here on
channel nine.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
On melicopter was the fact that it was burning towards
the west, getting close to homes and des I want
to let you know too. We just got an official
acreage update from CalFire there mapping this right now at
thirty eight acres, calling this the Clay Fire. And you
can see that heavy brush that it is burning and
does last week we were just last week.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
The week before, we were just.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
In this almost exact same spot for another fire game
right off of Van Buren Boulevard barked up again. I
believe it was actually on the other side of Van Buren.
But as we're getting kind of close to where you
can see the fire there, it is spotting Valley a
little bit, right, You see that spot down there on
the bottom of the screen or is that maybe where
it started.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah, not clear.
Speaker 14 (31:42):
We just got on the scene a couple of minutes ago,
so I can't quite tell, but yeah, it may be
spotting a little bit. As we're starting to see some
embers starting to get whipped up here. This is what
we really hate to see, these kind of like eruptions
of embers here into the air. But you could see
how they're they're kind of primarily going straight up. When
we've some of these others that we've been talking about,
obviously the extremely destructive ones.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Where the clay fire, group of valways.
Speaker 14 (32:05):
And just moving from you know, home to home, or
or moving you know, almost at some clips an acre
within a couple of seconds. So not the case tonight.
But yes, home is definitely a danger here. And even
though the homes are closer here on Kennedy Street on
the north, the way that the winds would be trending,
I would kind of worry more about Idle Wild Lane
(32:25):
and all of these homes down here. And you could
see some of the fire trucks that are down here
definitely telling people to look alive. I'm sure at evacuation warning,
if not just a mandatory evacuation, you know, at the
very least on this.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
But I do have to.
Speaker 14 (32:39):
Emphasize that if this would have been at this time
last night, this could be a much more serious situation
because the winds are nothing like they were last night.
So firefighters will definitely be able to take advantage of that.
They have really good structure protection set up here in
this neighborhoods off of Kennedy Street. But all zoom in
you can see i mean just you know, a few
feet away in some instance.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Just fire and south of the ten free Way east
of the fifteen Freeway exposure it's called the Clay Fire
ten acres at least.
Speaker 14 (33:05):
Prefer to see the smoke kind of just wafting about
the way it is and not really threatening in any
one direction.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Ten to fifteen acres heavy fuel, ten engines on it
stand for at least an.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Hour or so.
Speaker 14 (33:19):
So they're definitely gonna get some more resources out here,
who could probably get some of those bulldozers that could
come and suffocate these flames, to get some fire lions,
and hopefully they can, you know, get this knocked out
by the end of the night.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yeah, you know, I did hear them request two additional
dozers to start doing that. And I want to point
out too, you're seeing all those kind of glowing spots right.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Okay, we've got to take a break. We'll be on
this fire tonight. It's the Clay fire. It's the bigger
one in Los Angeles, east of the fifteen, south of
the ten freeway, just outside of Riverside, just west of
Riverside's and I'll tell you where it is. North of
ninety one, remember this, North of the ninety one, south
of the ten, east of the fifteen, and west of
(33:59):
River University of California. Riverside is out there. It's considerably
west of that. So if you have kids going there
and they're not in danger at all, I'm just giving
you a pointum reference. All right, we'll keep it on
that fire as well. Moe Kelly coming up next right
here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
(34:22):
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeart
Radio app
It's camp.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
And I'm that wind.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The weather over the weekend might be rained this weekend.
So well, there's a big factor now in LA. Didn't
used to be nowadays. The Dodgers have gotten healthier. They're
putting together an all star team for the All Star break,
and it looks like they've added yet another great player,
David Vassa, who is with the Dodgers and he's with us.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
David Vassa, how you, Bob.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I'm doing great Conway. I'm at Crypto dot Com Arena
to watch the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Wow, all right, you're really into sports, hon dude.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
My first Laker game of the season. I got invited.
It's a free ticket, so I said, okay, and you
know my power might go off Conway, so I figured
why not?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh really, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Oh yeah, I'm an Edison customer where anytime there's some wind,
they shut off the power.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh I told you not to move in that area.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Hey, buddy, what what did What did the Dodgers do
to get healthier like they needed it?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Well, they have pat back into the Japanese market Conway.
They made the biggest splash of the off season again
by signing one of the best international pitchers in Major
League Baseball, and that his name is Roki Sazaki. He's
twenty three years old. He was the most coveted pitcher
(01:32):
this free agency this side of Tokyo, and the Dodgers
beat out the Padres, the Toronto Blue Jays, and I
would say fifteen other teams that he was considering. And
he is joining Shohei Otami and Yoshi Yamamoto, two of
his teammates from Team Japan and the World Baseball Classic.
(01:52):
He throws one hundred He throws one hundred and two
miles an hour. He has a devastating split finger fastball,
and he's not a finished product. So the Dodgers just
got one of the best and they don't even have
to pay that much for him because he's an international
sign What do.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
They pay him?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Six million dollars?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Wow, what a steal. That's great.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You know, they use their international pull money for him,
and he'll make the league minimum, which is about seven
hundred and seventy thousand dollars for the next couple of years.
So it's like they just find a rookie, a bargain
rookie that has the stuff and the potential to be
one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball within
(02:40):
the next three or four years.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
How tall is this kid?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I mean usually have to be pretty tall to consistently
pitch one hundred and two miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
See, you're exposing yourself again for being a baseball seamad
six three sixty three around two hundred plus pounds. I
really don't get into people's weight, but he's six three.
He is more of a stature in size to Shoho
Tani than Yoshiyamamoto, who is considerably under six foot.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So the Dodgers, I mean, the Padres, the Giants, they've
got to be pulling their hair out with all these acquisitions.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The entire league is not only did the Dodgers sign
this kid, but then they dipped into the major league
free agent market again and signed the best relief picture
available by the name of Tanner Scott, and then doubled
down and signed one of the top three relief pictures
on the free agent market in Kirby Yates. And they're
(03:42):
just continuing to add on to what already is a
super team, and basically the message is him the time
is now, the window is now, and it is in
the next five years. And obviously they are making quite
a bit of revenue because of the market in Japan
and the interest in the Dodgers, and they're doing something
(04:05):
that not every team in baseball does, reinvesting the profits
into the baseball roster. So nobody can hold them, you know,
you can't hold a grudge against them for doing.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That, right, you know, I'm surprised that the Chicago Cubs
aren't a better team. You know what, that old They
haven't spent any money on a stadium. That's an old,
crappy stadium. I know, it's a you know, it's a landmark,
and it's a you know, and people like going there,
but it's it's really, you know, uncomfortable considering these modern stadiums.
So they don't put any money in the stadium. And
they get and they're an international, internationally recognized organization. They
(04:40):
sell a lot of shirts and hats and jackets and everything.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
They have a ton of money. They're just not putting
it back on the field.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Number One, they have renovated Wrigley Field. They were talking
about a Cub's dynasty in twenty sixteen that completely self
flat on Waveland Avenue back there. As the owner, Tom Rickett,
it has bought a lot of the proper property around
Wrigley Field, and so he's making a lot of money
(05:07):
in real estate around there. So yeah, there's no excuse
for teams like the Cubs not to reinfest and spend
on their team. But look, there's a lot of envy
out there, maybe because the Dodgers are putting pressure on
other teams and other owners to start spending some money
to make their team better, because their fan bases are
(05:29):
looking around and saying, what's going on with us?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I got an idea this All Star season, the rest
of the league puts together a team against the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I love that. I don't even think that would be
good enough to beat them.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Wouldn't that be great and embarrassing at the same time.
If the Dodgers went out and they're just wasted and
just rolled over the All Star team.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Well, that's the beauty of baseball, right sim You know
that you can have the best lineup, the best pitching,
But you know, baseball is not like the NFL or
the NBA. It is such a unique sport, and it's
the beautiful game, not soccer.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Right, But bess A, I think the Dodgers. You know,
the over under on the team is always one hundred games.
You know, are they gonna win more than one hundred?
That number might be one twenty or one ten.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
This year it really could be the Seattle Mariners. Echiro
Suzuki was just elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
His team in the early two thousands won one hundred
and sixteen games in one season. They lost in the
first round. There's a very good chance if the Dodgers
stay healthy, they could eclipse that record.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know, I haven't been to the stadium in quite
some time. Is oral Herscheizer still in this starting lineup?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
See there you go, Conway. We know you've been to
the stadium. We know you love it. Oral Ersheizer is
in the broadcast starting list. Joe Data, I forgot about
the A team, the A team, Conway, right.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I forgot about that. I got to make that note.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I always make that mistake with you.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It's all about you talking to trucks.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
But there was a world out there, buddy.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
That's a true story. That's great.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Who are talking to truck drivers at nine and I
was calling Ross porter at nine years old.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I did the same thing. I used to call Al Downing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Remember he was doing Dodger talk and when they got
right and when when you got through the Dodger talk
with Al Downing, this screener, the phone screener would say, hey,
don't bring up Hank Aaron's home run.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And I'm like, okay, all right, I won't. I won't.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So hey, it's Al Downing. Welcome Tim and Andsino or Tarzana.
Can I help you?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I wanted to talk about Ronsei in the hot corner.
Oh yeah, Ronsey's great guy's and me back with the Dodgers.
They sign a new deal, and hey, what was it
like pitching to Hank Aaron giving up that home run?
And he would start swearing, your money bag, I'm easy crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Try calling him on the day of Try calling him
on the anniversary of that home run to come on
a radio show.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
He's still angry. Huh, still faulty. That's so great, buddy.
Who are the Lakers?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I'm mean to the callers. They haven't heard Al Downing.
They think I'm hanging up on callers. They never heard
out Downing host Dodger talk.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's so great. Where is Al Downing now? Is he
still around parts unknown?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Conway?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, Hey, who are the Lakers playing tonight?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
The Washington Wizards formerly the Washington Bullets, who have lost
ten in a row. So I take the game. The
Lakers should win.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Why did they change the name from the Washington.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Bullets because I guess politically political correctness forced them to
thinking the Bullets was a little too violent of a name.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, you know, they changed it the year a DC
became the murder capital of the United States. Kind of,
come on, things change, things change.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Where are you get good seats to you? A wealthy
guy hook up?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah. I have a great Dodger fan who's
actually a Dodger season ticket holder that offered me an
extra ticket, So I'm out here thanks to him. Hey.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I went to a buddy of mine invited me to
a Portland Trailblazers game up in Oregon, and you tell
me if this is if you're on my side or
his side? And I said, he said, you want to go?
I said sure. So we went to the stadium. We
went up three escalators and then we got went up
forty five stairs and our backs were to the back
of the stadium. We're the very top row of the stadium, right,
(09:45):
So let me ask me. I'm want to tell you
what I said to him, and you tell me whether
I'm right or wrong I said to him. Next time
you invite a guy to the game, you have to
say they are the worst seats in the house.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
That's completely fair. Yeah, I think I've been when I
used to be invited to, you know, when Gretzky was
playing for the King's tough ticket Lakers games at the
Forum or even here at formerly Staples Center. That's proper etiquette. Sure,
if you have an extra ticket and it's in the
rafters or in the callin eight, you've got to disclaim that.
You've got to put that disclaimer on it when you
(10:20):
invite somebody.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
But you're the best.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I hope the Wizards roll over these Lakers and get
you crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Oh, come on, Conway, it's gonna be a Lakers show.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Tonight, showtime. They just lost to the Clippers, didn't they.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, they did, so they're looking to bounce back tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Buddy, you're the best. Have some food.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Hope you brought your mortgage with you or your pink
slip gets some of that food.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Free food here, Conway. Wait, well, I'm living in the highlights.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Will we be able to see you on TV? What
side are you sitting on? The players?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I don't know if you're going to see me, but
I've heard some rumors that Roki Sazaki may be court side.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh all right, well, one hundred and two miles an hour.
That's something else with that guy.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
He could throw that speedball by Conway.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's right, dude, Not me, but most guys. Buddy, you're
the best. Thanks for coming on, and we'll catch you
at the stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Can't wait. We'll see you and Oral Hershier together.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Thanks, buddy, all right. David Vez say, he's great. He's
with the LA Dodgers. He's been with them for fifteen
years or so. He does pregame, postgame and a couple
of he'll do color on a couple of games if
like Rick Monday's not there. But that guy's great, David
Vaz say, Man, I've known him ever since the day
I started here at the station.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That dude is really cool.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Guy.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The tik TikTok is in the news, TikTok and TikTok TikTok,
and they have a new window, a new window for
TikTok ninety days. The window will be closing in ninety
days unless they can sell half of this company. I
think Donald Trump said they one of the offers was
(12:10):
selling half of this company to a US company. I
think he made a mistake today when he said, well,
you know the value of TikTok is it jillion dollars.
It's not a jillion dollars, but it's billions, billions and billions.
One hundred and seventy million Americans open up their computer
(12:30):
or their phone every day and look at TikTok. So
the window is closing in ninety days, though, unless they
can get something done. Let's find out what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Hey, I'm Neil Savedra.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
I host the four Report on KFI AM six forty,
and I've been doing radio for about two decades and
I can't remember a time when I didn't hear American
Vision windows.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This is a different This is the audio. This is
a different window audio. This is Neil Savadra's windows. This
is not the window for TikTok.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
So when it came time for my own home and
to make the decision to put two very big doors,
they came to mind instantly. My wife and I went
in an old house, so we picked it nineteen twelve house.
Once you start modifying the house, it's over one hundred
years old, and you start.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Thinking, is it going to lose its charm? Is it
going to look too modern?
Speaker 8 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Does he mentioned TikTok in it? No, he mentioned windows.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
And then when you think about putting in two massive
doors and to trust somebody with that was a really
big deal to Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
This is where he talks about putting a hole in
his house. Because we weren't just replacing window. We were
cutting in a whole new hole. I love when he
says that, a whole new hole. That's my favorite part
of that video.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
It was a really big deal to us because we
weren't just replacing window.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We were cutting in a whole new hole, a whole
new hole.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Whole new hole. All right, a bellio. That's not the audio.
Can we get the TikTok audio open?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Here it is. Well, let me do this first first.
That's a big deal, big deal TikTok.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Are you open to on TikTok?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
I wouldn't be if you wanted to buy it, you discussed.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'd like to buy it.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I have the right to make a deal.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
So the deal I'm thinking about Larry Less negotiating part
of the media.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
The deal I think is this?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Who is that croz?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Is that Larry Ellison that he's talking about, Maybe Larry Wax.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Larry Ellison and he's standing behind him. And I met
with owners of TikTok, the big owners. It's with who
owners of TikTok? T tack, tic tack to tick tax
It's worthless if it doesn't get a permit. It's not like,
oh you can take the US. The whole thing is worthless.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
With a permanent it's worth like a trillion dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I think that was a mistake to tell the Chinese
their their products worth a trillion dollars. So what we
have to pay five hundred million, five hundred billion for it?
Speaker 8 (14:53):
With a permanent it's worth like a trillion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Who's on TikTok here? CROs of course? Are you on TikTok?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I don't hit on it about a week, but yeah,
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I when the United States said it's uh the Chinese
or spying on you, I bailed. I threw it off
my phone, did you Yeah, I get paranoid like the
American spine.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh yeah, I'm all American. Put big.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I wake up in my flag sheets every day, my
flag pillow.
Speaker 3 (15:21):

I'm all American. I got a big ass flag in
front of my house. I got I'm an American man,
I'm an American.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Proud to be.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
I am proud to.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Be an American.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, at least I know I'm free down y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I fool me.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I proudly stand up next to you and something every day.

it's safe again.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Maddy's on TikTok. Maddie, you're on it? Yes, I am
on it. What's the uh? You know what?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I was on it for a while, but I kept
getting the same videos. I guess I clicked onto like
foreign countries. Now all I get is pictures of foreign countries.
I wasn't into it. I was into it all. Well,
you're American, Yeah, America, were the nice thing about TikTok.
(17:34):
And YouTube shorts and all that stuff there. I'll never
see ninety nine percent of this world, but you can
see it through TikTok. You know, you can go to
you know, Japan or Vietnam or Ukraine or whatever and
see the places, the cities, the towns, the people you'd
never see in your life. You know, I'm not a traveler.
All I would like to see. I told my daughter
(17:55):
this very early on in her life, and she and
she keeps asking me how it's going. But I wanted
to go into every house in the United States and
just look at it. And I'm way behind. I don't
think I have the time to do it all. But
I'd love to see the inside of every house. Just
walk in every house, just look around.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I have the same desire.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yes, I like to smell. I like to smell every house. Yeah,
you can tell a lot about the people live in
the house by.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
When you walk in. I like to taste every house.
I would love to see every house.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I like to see Neil's house with his windows and
his doors, a great house.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, I like that guy.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
But I'd like to see a lot of homes and
I have not I'm way behind. I don't know how
many homes there are in America.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
How many have you seen? Like ten? Yeah, you're way behind.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, I gotta get moving, all right, we got I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know. This definitely
takes it. He's been doing it ever since the first
of the year. When we're way behind him. Breaks, he
takes his shirt off and he whips it around, he
spins it around, and we got to get that on video.
It's it does make you go to a break. All right,
let's go to break. It's Conway showing.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Okay, Well, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
We've got a.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Healthy, struggling businesses in Altadena. A lot of people are
staying away from that area because of the fires. And
when you stay away from that area, you stay away
from the businesses, and the businesses can't make any money
and they're going to go out of business, and it's
gonna it's gonna accelerate the depression and the rebuilding of
that area unless we keep these small mom and pop
businesses going in the Altadena Altadena area as well as
(19:30):
you know Pacific Palisades and and Malibu. I know it's
tough to get to some of these places. But these
small businesses are struggling. And when you can't make ends
meet and you close the doors, that further affects the
area in a very negative way. So let's try to
get out the I'll go, I'll go as well. I'm
(19:51):
not just preaching here, I'll go as well. Let's try
to get out to these businesses and uh and help
them out.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
All over Altadena you'll see businesses like this hardware store
that were just destroyed in the Eton fire.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
But then there are those like this group.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Of businesses right here that are still standing, but they
too have a long road ahead.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Everywhere you turn, there's destruction and Alta Dina.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
The hardware store burns, State Farm Insurance burned down, the
bike store, Mura Kitchen the restaurant burned down.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Over there.
Speaker 11 (20:19):
Thankfully, Caroline Britain's Carchrophy Designed studio is still standing.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Bomb shocked it made it. I'm shocked the site.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Wait, what's still standing here?
Speaker 11 (20:27):
The studio is still Cartophy Design Studio is still standing.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
IM shocked it made it. I'm shocked the site.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
It's a design studio.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
Okay, I get that, But with severe smoke damage, no power,
internet or phone.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Her business remains closed.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
Nothing's working, and then just the heavy smoke smiling. You
can see there's like a layer of ash on everything.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
A few doors down, Debbie Collins is in a similar predicament.
Speaker 12 (20:51):
But I'm just trying to get open, so I feel
like at some point there's going to be a massive
amount of paperwork.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
For thirty four.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
Years, she's been the only employee at Miss Dagon Printed Copy.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Her shop also survived the fire.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
But I remember that name. Remember that name if you
need something printed.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
For thirty four.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
Years, she's been the only employee at Miss Dragon Printed Copy.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Miss Dragon Print and Copy. Remember that Miss Dragon Printing Copy.
She's the only employee.
Speaker 11 (21:20):
Miss Dragon Printing Copy. Her shop also survived the fire,
but she hasn't been able to reopen.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
And I can't do anything here because I have no power.
Hopefully I can make it.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
I'm not positive I can because a large percent of
my customers are wrong now, including almost every church in
Altadena is gone.
Speaker 11 (21:38):
The Small Business Administration is offering low interest loans to
impacted businesses. They say owners won't have to make any
payments for the first year.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
We have two different types of loans. The first one
is for any physical damages they have. We also have
the economic injury this that's the loan, which is just
to help those smaller businesses and nonprofit organizations if they
are suffering economically and they're having a hard time paying
their water, electricity payroll.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
But back at car Trophy Design, Caroline's dealing with more
than just your damaged design studio.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
My yeah, my house burnt to the ground.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh my god, this poor woman.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
My yeah, my house burnt to the ground.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
She lost her home in the eating fire, and her
business has not yet reopened.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
She's leaning on the community for help.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
I've had a lot of customers reach out via email
and text, oh my god, are you okay? As soon
as you reopen, we're gonna come support you. I pray
that's true, because we're really.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Gonna need it.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Mmmm hesitancy there.
Speaker 8 (22:38):
I pray that's true.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I hope it is.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I hope they're not just bsing you. Hope when they
say they're going to support you they do. I think
they will.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I pray that's true because we're really going to need it.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I'm bringing you back out live here.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
You should know the deadline for businesses wanting a loan,
for businesses with physical damage, that is May tenth deadline.
And then for businesses who are struggling with things like
electricity or payroll and they need a loan, you have
a little bit longer until October the eighth.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
All right, but let's remember at least this one business.
Maybe we'll do a business at night that we can
help out. And this one is Miss Dragon Printed Copy,
Miss Dragon print and Copy, Miss Dragon Print and Copy.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
She needs help. We'll come back. I'm gonna give you
the address of that Miss Dragon Printing.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Copy, Miss Dragon Printed Copy.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Maybe we can get some copies made there and help
her out, Miss Dragon Print and Copy.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
This business is not open yet, just a little research online,
Miss Dragon Miss dragon Printed Copy, Miss Dragon Printing Copy.
So when it does, we'll let you know. You can
go visit it. And we should have. We should have
a lot more businesses from Altadena on are open. Yet
there's no customers because everybody's been burned to the ground.
(24:05):
And this woman does a lot of work printing stuff
for churches and a lot of the churches are gone
out there as well, So if you can visit a
business that's in that area, they're hurting and we don't
want to further complicate their lives or the people that
are going to be moving back there with business after
business being empty, and so it's gonna be a long
(24:28):
road back, but hopefully we can and I'll do my
share to I'll buzz out there and try to keep
these businesses open.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It is hell out there, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
The White House they've ordered all DEI offices, all government
DEI offices, to begin closing tomorrow. The White House Office
of Personal Management notified heads of agencies and departments that
they must begin taking steps to close all diversity, equity
(25:02):
and inclusion offices by the end of the day Wednesday
and place government workers on those in those offices on
paid leave. Acting Director of the Office of Personal Management,
Charles E. Zel or eSeL send a member to the
heads of the acting or the acting heads of department
eight agencies Tuesday evening that's tonight, directing them no later
(25:26):
than five pm on Wednesday to close everything down. And
it says here send an agency wide notice to employees
informing them the closure and asking employees if they know
of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded language,
and so at least in the government, the DEI is
(25:47):
coming to an end. A complete list of DEI offices
and employees that are going to be closed. It should
have been Oh no, it says you're a complete list
the DEI related agency contracts as of November fifth, twenty
four be closed.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And so we'll see how that goes, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
We have also on a lighter note here, there's a
lot of people in Los Angeles in southern California on ozempic,
either they wanted to try it or they've tried it
and they like it. But the weight loss drug, which
is working miracles for a lot of people, also linked
to benefits beyond dropping weight. Let's find out what's going
(26:33):
on with those zempic.
Speaker 13 (26:34):
Popular weight loss drugs like ozempic and we'll go vi
may have health benefits beyond shedding extra pounds. This is
a new study published yesterday in the journal Nature of Medicine.
It highlights the benefits but also the risks of those drugs.
Among the positives, a reduced risk of pneumonia, infections, liver failure,
lung failure and cardiac arrest.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But what, it's a cure.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
All So, if you're on ozempic to lose weight. There's
a lot of other benefits.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Lit'sen to this.
Speaker 13 (27:02):
A reduced risk of pneumonia.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Reduce risk of pneumonia.
Speaker 13 (27:06):
Infections, liver failure, lung failure, and cardiac arrest.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
But wow, everybody's got to get on this thing, evidently.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
As for the risks, increases we're seen in nausea, kidney stones,
gastro intestinal issues and what a downer whatever, inflammation of
the kidneys and pancreas. But experts warn more research and
a larger study is still needed.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Alright, alright, there's always you know, Debbie Downers all over
the place.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
That feature was brought to you by Advanced Hair One
day treatment, Life changing Results. Make your appointment today at
Advanced Hair dot com. I was driving back from Portland,
Oregon to Burbank over the weekend lass No, last weekend, yeah,
last weekend, And it was foggy, it was dark, and
(27:56):
I was coming up on Medford or Ashland, that whole
area in southern Oregon near the California border, and it
was it was too dangerous it was raining, it was
it was foggy, it was dark, and it was probably
about eight thirty nine o'clock at night. And so instead
of going over the Siscus, which is a very tall
peak there in South Oregon or northern California, I decided
(28:19):
to get a hotel for the night, you know, one
of these holiday inn Express or whatever it was days
in I remember what is. It was just a you know,
off the freeway. And I get in there ninety dollars.
Give them the ninety dollars to get a room. It's nice,
it's not great, it's not bad. It's just, you know,
it's doable. And then I open up the drapes and
I see that there's a bar across the street. I'm like, okay,
(28:41):
I go slide into the bar. Almost every bar in
Oregon has video poker, video machines, video poker slot machines.
They have about five or six of them. And that's
how that's how you pay they pay for sales tax,
sales tax, and so the sales tax in Oregon is
(29:07):
not paid for. There's zero sales tax. If you buy
a car for fifty two thousand dollars, it's fifty two
grand all right, let's and so if you buy, you know,
two tacos for ninety nine cents at Jack in the Box,
it's ninety nine cents.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It's not a dollar.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Eate.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
You buy a car for fifty grand, it's not fifty
five grand. There's no sales tax in Oregon, none, and
it's all paid for through these slot machines. So I
go in there, I go, and there's two bouncers outside
and it's literally across the street from the hotel. And said,
dive bar looks probably kind of cool. And the guy
stops me. The bouncer stops me, and he says, can
(29:44):
I see ID? And I said, yeah, showed my ID.
And I was wearing a jacket that a friend of
mine gave me, and he was His name is a
Officer Hanson, Johnny Hanson, with the bomb Squad out of
the La Sheriff's Department. And his nickname is Shaky Hands
(30:05):
Johnny Shaky Hands Hansen, which is not good if you're
in the bomb squad. So I got He gave me
a jacket that says the La County Sheriff's Department on it,
and it's a beautiful jacket.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Wear it all the time. I love it. I support
you know, guys and gals in law enforcement. And so
I walk over.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He sees my ID and then he says to me,
because there's a big emblem on the side on the
front of the jacket that says La County Sheriff's Department.
And he says to me, he says, hey, I wouldn't
go in there with that jacket on. I said, oh,
why is it. He said, ah, there's a lot of
guys who've been arrested before. And I said, oh, so
(30:46):
I was going to go back across the street to
the hotel and change the jacket. And then right then
a guy in the bar overheard that and he said, hey,
what's going on out there?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And he said, he told me not to wear this jacket.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Wait, let's quickly go to channel nine here real quick,
there's an update on this roop of fire here on
channel nine.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
On melicopter was the fact that it was burning towards
the west, getting close to homes and des I want
to let you know too. We just got an official
acreage update from CalFire there mapping this right now at
thirty eight acres, calling this the Clay Fire. And you
can see that heavy brush that it is burning and
does last week we were just last week.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
The week before, we were just.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
In this almost exact same spot for another fire game
right off of Van Buren Boulevard barked up again. I
believe it was actually on the other side of Van Buren.
But as we're getting kind of close to where you
can see the fire there, it is spotting Valley a
little bit, right, You see that spot down there on
the bottom of the screen or is that maybe where
it started.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah, not clear.
Speaker 14 (31:42):
We just got on the scene a couple of minutes ago,
so I can't quite tell, but yeah, it may be
spotting a little bit. As we're starting to see some
embers starting to get whipped up here. This is what
we really hate to see, these kind of like eruptions
of embers here into the air. But you could see
how they're they're kind of primarily going straight up. When
we've some of these others that we've been talking about,
obviously the extremely destructive ones.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Where the clay fire, group of valways.
Speaker 14 (32:05):
And just moving from you know, home to home, or
or moving you know, almost at some clips an acre
within a couple of seconds. So not the case tonight.
But yes, home is definitely a danger here. And even
though the homes are closer here on Kennedy Street on
the north, the way that the winds would be trending,
I would kind of worry more about Idle Wild Lane
(32:25):
and all of these homes down here. And you could
see some of the fire trucks that are down here
definitely telling people to look alive. I'm sure at evacuation warning,
if not just a mandatory evacuation, you know, at the
very least on this.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
But I do have to.
Speaker 14 (32:39):
Emphasize that if this would have been at this time
last night, this could be a much more serious situation
because the winds are nothing like they were last night.
So firefighters will definitely be able to take advantage of that.
They have really good structure protection set up here in
this neighborhoods off of Kennedy Street. But all zoom in
you can see i mean just you know, a few
feet away in some instance.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Just fire and south of the ten free Way east
of the fifteen Freeway exposure it's called the Clay Fire
ten acres at least.
Speaker 14 (33:05):
Prefer to see the smoke kind of just wafting about
the way it is and not really threatening in any
one direction.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Ten to fifteen acres heavy fuel, ten engines on it
stand for at least an.

So they're definitely gonna get some more resources out here,
who could probably get some of those bulldozers that could
come and suffocate these flames, to get some fire lions,
and hopefully they can, you know, get this knocked out
by the end of the night.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yeah, you know, I did hear them request two additional
dozers to start doing that. And I want to point
out too, you're seeing all those kind of glowing spots right.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Okay, we've got to take a break. We'll be on
this fire tonight. It's the Clay fire. It's the bigger
one in Los Angeles, east of the fifteen, south of
the ten freeway, just outside of Riverside, just west of
Riverside's and I'll tell you where it is. North of
ninety one, remember this, North of the ninety one, south
of the ten, east of the fifteen, and west of
(33:59):
River University of California. Riverside is out there. It's considerably
west of that. So if you have kids going there
and they're not in danger at all, I'm just giving
you a pointum reference. All right, we'll keep it on
that fire as well. Moe Kelly coming up next right
