Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. And we
like to bring you as much information as we can
on these fires. You know, we're not going to go
into a lot of the sorrow and the pain and
the anger. I think people are trying to, you know,
(00:21):
heal themselves from that. And when they turn on radio
and they hear nothing but that, I think it's a
big turn off. But we would like to help you
when it comes to getting back in your home rebuilding.
What is the real estate market like, what is the
insurance market like? The renters everything. And Jason Silanco is
a real estate expert and a friend of mine used
(00:41):
to work here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Years and years and years ago.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm a radio bull first, Yes, the radio bull first,
and then the real estate stud second. Right, just stud, yeah,
just stud all right. So the fire happened all over
you know in the southern California. We know that, and
there's so many questions that people have when it comes
(01:03):
to their property. Can they go clean it up themselves?
They have to wait for the city, They have to
wait for permits. If you're renting, you know, do you
have to pay for your rent. There's a lot going on,
But what is the big picture here? Is it getting
easier to get fire insurance? I know for a couple
of weeks it was it was one hundred percent no
with every company you called.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Right, it was a dire For about the first two
and a half weeks after the fires broke out, insurance
companies were not issuing. At least most insurance, if not
all insurance companies were off. They were like, we're not
issuing anything until the fire is one hundred percent or
ninety nine percent contained.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You can't blame them for that, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean, you know how Holmes we worth ten to
fifteen million dollars and they didn't want to come in
and take a you know, twenty five thousand dollar policy.
And then two days later after write a check for
ten million.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And it kept shifting. First they were like, well when
it's forty percent contained, fifty percent contained, and kept moving.
But then after the rains over the weekend, a lot
of insurance came back in the market or our new product,
new insurance, you know, not admitted insurreans started to come
in and offer offer policies. Still I mean rates are
are not like they were a month ago. It's a
(02:13):
I mean a lot higher, but there's just there's more,
they're more. There are more options out there were you know,
just a week ago even So what's the state option?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, that's called the Fair Plan and that's the plan
of last resort. But a lot of folks, you know,
had to get the Fair Plan because they were dropped
before the fires by State Farm and others, so they
weren't able to find insurance. So they they hopefully got
at least a fair Plan option rather than having no insurance.
But I know some didn't have insurance.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
And what is the Fair Plan. It's just basically state
run insurance.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's well it's it's state it's state operated, but it's
funded by the insurance industry and actually funded by customers
of insurance in California. So were all kind of supporting
this in various ways.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So my history with a company or when they stick
fair in the titles, it may not be.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, it's it's it's definitely not cheap, and it's it's
not fair coverage, but it's coverage and it's better than
no coverage.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So the fair is used like, oh, it's fair, like
a like carnage fair.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, like a description of them. Yeah, it's it's it's like, yeah,
it's the fair in town. It's it's about as good
as that. So it's there's you know there. It will
cover for fire, but it is is very expensive in
terms of liability that you normally have, like someone comes
and trips on your property or something happens that it's
not offered with the fair Plan. You have to get
an additional plan. But I mean some folks, I mean
(03:44):
I I got to hear that so far, this was
a report a few days ago that twenty two percent
of the claims so far have been fair plan.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Right, that's a loss. It's in the affected areas of
the Eaton and towns far, that's a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I think if they were expecting more state from ARM
I think holds were abound twenty five twenty six percent
of the claims that could sink a company.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I mean they're looking at at a total I think
it's between two hundred and fifty and three hundred billion
dollars worth of damage.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, it's you know.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And that's the concern about the Fair Plan is that
it's going to run out of money, and you know
they're going.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
To have to All of our rates will go up.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Every insurance holder in California will pay for that in
some way.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But at least you have insurance because you can't buy
a home if a mortgage. You take out a mortgage
on your property and the mortgage company or the bank
demands that you get insurance or they don't sell that
house to you.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
And also with the Fair Plan, there are a lot
of homes and properties that were under the Fair Plan
that were just older or they needed to have certain
upgrades and the owners weren't able to afford it. So
it is a great thing to have available as last resort.
And you know, the Fair Plan was never a plan,
usually for homes in the more fluent areas of you know, Brentwood,
The Palisade, Santa Monica. But in recent years more of
(04:59):
those insurance holders had to go to the Fair Plan
because they were dropped and there were no other options.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Jason Siloko's with us, you know who. I read.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
An email from a guy who's in the know, and
he said, there are three groups of people out there,
and one of them is the people have insurance and
they might be undersured, but at least they have fire insurance.
The second group is people have been dropped by their insurance.
And that's a group that right now is desperate for
information and for some help. But the third group is
(05:32):
people own you know, ten fifty million dollar homes. They
didn't have any insurance. They could afford it, but they
decided not to get it, and so FEMA or the
government's gonna have to step in and say, you know,
why didn't you have insurance, and they may turn some
of those claims down.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well it also, yes, you're right, Tim, And also with
the fair plan mind understanding is I think it's topped
at either three or five.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Million from sale family home.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So even if they had a fair plan in their
home exceeded that that value. And you know, and think
about it, when these folks even got these plans, I mean,
you know, they're they're probably under insuring or even would
they assess their value of their house at that point
two three four years ago was in the construction costs
have gone up forty percent, But.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You could probably build almost any home again with three
million dollars. I mean that's a lot in just labor
and material. Well, but it depends. I mean it's a
ten million dollar home. Yeah, but I think that a
lot of the pro isn't a lot of the value
of the actual property.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well of course, but.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You know, when you're ensuring, you're you're only ensuring for
the replacement cost of the structures, but just the amount
that costs have gone up, and then how they're just
going to continue to go up now because of labor shortage,
supply shortage, potential tariffs, and just all of the demand
that's going to be coming in.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
But I did they get a tariff? Yeah, there's a
lot to go in Canada, a lot of uncertainty, so
a lot of lumber coming from Canada.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
But you know, I mean how much is it, you know,
a thousand you know, how much to build a square
foot six seven hun to square foot on the Palisades?
I mean, just depends how many square foot square feet
you're going to be rebuilding, right, and what you're going
to be competing against.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
In terms of trying to find, you know, contractors to
do the work.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, there are not we have to we have to
ship contractors in from around the country, around the world.
There's not enough contractors enough day labors or you know
construction guys that can build these homes. We're talking you know,
fourteen fifteen thousand homes. And these are not uh, you know,
cookie cutter homes. These are these are you know, very elaborate,
very high end, you know steel beam, I mean, just
(07:35):
in raw material. I remember when they build Legion Stadium
in Las Vegas where the Raiders play, and they couldn't
get enough steel around the country. They had to use
six or seven different companies just to get the steel
for that for that stadium, and they all they had
to fly constantly, fly into these states where the steel
mill was and make sure that the measurements were exact
(07:56):
because they were using six different companies.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah, and I've heard about, you know, some members of
like more eclectic trades that really don't exist here anymore.
There's still those kind of those those guys in Italy
and other parts of Europe, and that those folks are
getting offered to come here and just basically, you know,
settle here for five years, and these guys will will
advance them money to get them work basically as much
(08:19):
as they want.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And if you're a good like a tile guy, you
can name your price now if you're a sensational tile guy,
you're like, you know, like an artist. All right, come back,
you can stay with us. Yes, Jason Sloka's with us.
We'll talk about renting when we come back, and some
more details on how we put this city and this
part of southern California back together. We're all going to
(08:42):
be a part of it somehow. It looks like they're
going to try to open up pch I fairly soon,
maybe this weekend, open up all lanes, which will take
a lot of the relief out of the valley.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The valley for the last three weeks has been just.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Gridlock on the one oh one from cam Rio all
the way to the four or five, because everyone's using
that as an alternative and it's just been a nightmare
for people. And so we'll come back and talk more
about the about how we're going to get this part
of southern California back up on its feet.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Jason Slaca is with us.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
A real estate expert, at least that's that's what you're
me saying, real estate expert.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Just study I just like study more encompassing.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Of let's get into the people here, the real estate areas.
There's a lot of people leaving the southern California area.
I heard that Phoenix is a is an area that
a lot of people, especially people who are maybe seniors
in your seventies eighties, and they don't have the energy
(09:53):
to rebuild, maybe they don't have the money rebuild. And
Phoenix is a is a is a big property. I
wouldn't say hot spot, but that's you know, horrible to say.
It's a it's a a place where a lot of
people are going.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, they are going there.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
And you know, there was a slowdown in the market
in the Phoenix area, you know, recently until you know,
this was a big boost to it with the right Yeah,
and insurance actually has gone up a lot uh in
Arizona in the last year. It's like the I think
the highest percentage increase in premiums has been in Arizona.
But still it's going to be less than it is here.
(10:30):
But we're also seeing that people are you know, people
that were affected by the eat and fire that they're
just there. A lot of them are moving farther east
along that two ten quarter you know, Glendora, Dwarte, AZUSA,
you know, even out to Rancho Cucamonga and then Claremont
also that's seeing a lot of interest. I hear Claremont
(10:51):
right now. You can't find anything there and really for
a single family home, I mean that's the thing that's
when people are talking about renting in the rental market
being difficult. Really is more about single family home market
is where you're seeing all this this new demand.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, I mean if you have you know, three or
four kids, you know, you can't move into a two
bedroom apartment. You know, you need a big house, and
there aren't that many out there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, you have the.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Big homes, especially you know, the Palisades homes and there
were some you know, very large homes up in the
Pasadena Altadena area, but also yeah, smaller homes or you know,
so if best maybe like a town home that could
have a you know, a company that can accommodate you know,
a family. So that's really where you're seeing the pressure
on the market, and that's where you're seeing demand being
high and inventory I mean very little.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I read an article on online that there were three
homes in the Phoenix area that all went on the
market the same day this past Saturday, and they all
sold on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, things are going, and it's going farther east to
Coachella Valley, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Indian Wells. A lot
of new cash buyers that have descended on there in
the last couple weeks. They're a lot of these folks
or most of I think all of them were affected
by the fires. So their things are getting snapped up
there within twenty minutes of hitting the MLS.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
The same with the rental market.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
And this is the quote season for the Desert Palm Springs,
Palm Desert, that area, and so it's already in high demand.
You have the snowbirds from Canada and stuff like that.
So anything that is still available on the market for
rental is getting is getting taken off the market almost.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And if you live in Phoenix, you're not handcuffed by
the gouging laws, I don't think. I think it's just
in the areas where they declared the state of emergency, right,
and so that's going to go on.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, that's that's going to happen, and you know, but
at the same time, I think there it is a
bit overblown in terms of the oh, you know, all
apartment rents are going up and stuff like that, and
it's really not. I mean, people are the rentals available
around here? I mean really for you know, one bedroom
kind of traditional apartment or studio or even a two
bedroom for that matter. In La County, I'm not seeing
(13:01):
a lot of pressure on those prices, and I still
seeing a pretty healthy amount of availability.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
On the market.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Really, where have these people gone then? But for it's well,
are they stay with friends and family?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
They are, or they're they're they're staying in homes or
airbnb's while they can. But because of the homes, those
that that rental market, I mean, that's where it's just
you know.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I also heard that high end motor homes are in
demand too. Everything.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know, you're going to put a motor home on
your property while you rebuild it.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Right, And a lot of folks are already ordering these
prefabricated ad us with the intention of putting those on
their property, living in that while they rebuild the home.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh like a small little guest house.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I getting it on there and using that at this
is as a placeholder until they're It's a good idea
and then they can keep that there because the new
you know, state laws, you don't have to tear that
thing down because they trump you know, local municipalities.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What about renters.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
If somebody is is unable to use their apartment because
they can't get back in, are they still paying rent?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Well, I mean they still have to. I mean I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I mean in terms of legally, I don't know what
what the position would be. I mean, I would think
that the landlord would understand that it would be, uh
could be impossible to pay the rent and you're not
having any use of it. But you know, I don't know.
I think they would have to work that out. I
can't imagine them being evicted for it. I mean, no
one's gonna in the right mind sign off on an
(14:29):
eviction for someone who came and get to their place
for failure to pay rent.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Right for two reasons.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
One it will probably be overturned in downtown when either
go to court. And two you don't want that kind
of stink that you threw somebody out.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah exactly, I mean that just just I don't see
that how that could be, how that would be possible.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Plus it's double dipping and FEMA will go after them.
If FEMA is giving them money to compensate for people
who can't pay their rent, and they're charging people rent,
they can go to jail for that, right.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
And and also I mean if they're covered, if they
have an insurance policy for loss of rents, they're they're
going to be covered for for anything like that. The
landlord should be at least if they were adequately insured.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Oh, I didn't know that renters insurance also could cover
your your your monthly check, your your rent check.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Well, I don't think it covers that, but I'm saying
the landlord's policy. Oh I see, Right, there's a thing
called loss of rents loss of income if it's a
if it's a rental property, that they should be able
to recoup any any loss of rents that happened as
a result of this.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Right, and if they do both, and that's double dipping.
You know, if they if they get money from the
insurance company for a loss of rent and then charge
renters still that they can go to jail for that.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
But we don't know how long it's going to be
until these renters can get even get back into their place,
let alone live in there.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's horrible. So and what about real quickly?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I know that you've got to you know, split here,
but Hollywood has really shut down.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yes, and that this has only made it worse and
created more uncertainty for people that might be economically on
the fence about what to do. Maybe they weren't impacted
directly by the fire, but they're thinking, Okay, maybe I
will I will move back to you know, Ohio. Now
now is a good time because there has you know,
the work is almost two years now. The works has
(16:12):
just disappeared, right since the strikes. The strikes and everyone
thought this was going to be the year, and there's
no indication. I mean, you hope it is and that
things improved. But you're also seeing folks that maybe they're
on the creative side, maybe they're writers, or maybe they're
they're work in la Is is only required, you know,
for certain periods of time. So now they're hey, well
I'm gonna just move to Atlanta. Uh, you know, I'm
(16:33):
gonna move to Utah. I'm gonna move somewhere else. If
I've had my house burned down, why not?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Look, and and also you know, I hope that we
don't get painted with the same problem and the same
stink that Lehaina did. People stop going to Maui because
they thought the whole island burned and it's really less
than one percent of the island had burned down. Well, la,
if you're if you're anywhere, if you don't know it
Los Angeles, you think that the whole city burned down
(17:01):
when it's really like, you know, one or two or
three percent. But if you live in Cleveland or Atlanta
or in Miami, you think the whole town burned down
and you can't go visit here because it's all gone.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It's not true. Yeah, no, absolutely, I think you're going
to see tourism go down.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And I think that.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I think people thought Malibu kind of overrepresented what the
tourist experience was here, and yeah, they're not coming.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, that's crazy. We'll love to check back with you
as this progresses. Jason Silaco, where do people where are
you on? Are you on social Do you know that
social media exists? I'm on Friendster friends there?
Speaker 2 (17:35):

quick question for Jason. So Jason, Hi, it's Angel. Oh hey, Angel,

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Dinged wrong with you? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I talked.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I was at Walmart last night and there was a
lady looking at the egg prices and she said to
her I think it was her daughter or I don't know,
maybe your niece. She said, well, we'll try Ralphs on
the way home, or Vaughn's there there. We'll see if
can get a better deal on eggs. Everybody is talking
about egg prices. How many fing eggs are we eating?
(19:46):
I don't know that many people are into eggs. And
you turn on the news, that's all they talk about
egg prices.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Everybody does if you win.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
A supermarket lately, and Rebecca, you don't need me to
tell you egg prices through the roof. And this is
due bird flu that's killed millions of chickens. The USCA
says egg prices are up nearly thirty seven percent from
a year ago. They're expected to rise another twenty percent
this year. So to see if they're saving shortcuts, I
hit the road out here in northern California. Now, get
(20:15):
this the top price I found thirteen dollars and ninety
nine cents.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Who thirteen ninety nine for a dozen eggs. That's more
than a bucking egg.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Almost fourteen bucks for a dozen eggs.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
That's quick math.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Thirteen dollars and ninety nine cents.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Thirteen calculator thirteen ninety nine doesn't tell me if that's
close enough to fourteen dollars. Maybe this lady will help
me out.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Thirteen dollars and ninety nine cents.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Is that anywhere near fourteen.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Almost fourteen bucks for a dozen eggs? Ah?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay, she helped me out there, just hacking her way
through the story.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
That wasn't an Asian grocery chain near me.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Regional grocery chain had eggs seven sixty five.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh, then go there, go there.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I tried the gas station. The convenience store there.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Had egg there's where you get your quality eggs at
the gas station.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
I tried the gas station. The convenience store there had
eggs for six.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Fifty nine, Well, buy those eggs.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
But here's where things got really interesting. At the big
national pharmacy chain near me that normally has milk, eggs, bacon, bear.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Shells, Oh no, what are you going to do? CBS's
out of eggs.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
There were no eggs where they normally are. They sold out.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
My local costco was also completely sold out of.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Eggs, as were two other costcos.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I called, Oh no, where are the eggs.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
The employees did say they get eggs in the morning.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
They cost about they get eggs, they get an a,
they get a egg.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Employees did say they get eggs in the morning. They
cost about seven to sixty nine for two dozens.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh they get those. Get those seven to sixty nine
for two dozen. You're on easy Street.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
That's a good deal.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Surprise finished to my eggs stravaganza. The cheapest eggs actually
purchased yesterday.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
It came from Whole.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Foods three ninety nine for this for a dozen of
eggs and plenty of stock.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So I'm doing for a dozen of eggs, for a
dozen of eggs, a.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Dozen of eggs for three ninety nine.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Pray dozen of eggs and plenty of stock. So I'm
just one person in California. Prices may vary.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Got to get those eggs, got to get my cart
at Costco and get my cards out and get those eggs.
Everyone's talking about these eggs. Nobody lets it go.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
So you know, of course, everybody wants to know why
are egg prices so expensive?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Or the other ninety nine percent of the people could
care less.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, of course, Well there's a few things driving these
record high prices, but without a doubt, the biggest factor.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Is the bird flap bird flow.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
The virus first hit the US about three years ago,
but it tends to come in waves, sometimes disappearing for
months a day.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
They have the bird Can birds get the flu shot?
We should ask doctor Wren.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
This latest wave, which began in mid October, has been
the worst one yet by far. Just this month alone,
farmers have had to call over fifteen million egg laying hens. WHOA,
that's already more than they lost in the entirety of
twenty twenty three and we're only in January.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What's going on with this country? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Where all we do is talk about eggs and we
got the bird flu rolling around? Man oh Man, does
seem like the world's sort of coming to an end.
You know, it seems like we're just not some we're
missing something in this country just to be really cool
to hang here now. Just every day is more bad news,
bad news after bad news, all day long.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
All right, some good news.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
It's a disaster.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So the l mission very cool to open up tomorrow
eleven am to four pm, eight fifty five North Orange
Grove in Pasadena.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Great news for people out there that are in constant pain.
You have pain in your neck, your back, your legs,
and you don't want to take opiates opioids. You don't
want to be addicted. You don't want to you know
the whole run. People treat you like a drug addict.
There's a new drug out there that is opioid free
(25:17):
called jor navisjor Navis, and it's going to help you
with your pain Darien.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
And for the first time in decades, the FDA has
approved a non opioid pain killer to pain an adult.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
It's for a cute pain too, So the medication is
called soutrading and the way.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Shoot for teene, shoot forgine, and it's called it's called
jornavisjor Navis And the.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Way to understand how this medication works, we first have
to understand.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
How pain works.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
So let's say you stub your toe or jan your finger. Yeah,
that signal is traveling by nerves, enters your spine, goes
to your brain, tells you that you have pain, so
that you can react to that pain stimulus. Now, the
way that opiate medications work is that that medication, once
you take it, releases dopamine in your brain, creates this
feeling of euphoria and kind of distracts you from that pain. Now,
the problem is is that that dopamine overlaps with other
(26:05):
reward pathways, and that is one of the reasons why
opiate medications increase the risk of addiction. Now, this new
medication works in a little bit of a different way.
The way that it works is that it is a
sodium channel blocker, and what that means is that it
blocks the signal of pain from going from that stub finger,
that stub toe to traveling.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
To your that's great.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Have you noticed that as you get older it takes
longer for the pain to get to your brain, Like
when you stubbed your toe. As a kid, it was
instant pain. Now it's like one one thousand, two one thousand, three.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Thousands to traveling to your brain and it doesn't involve
that dopamine access and therefore decreases the risk of you
being addicted. And in these studies that found that when.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Takes about this a pain reliever that might be non addictive,
that could be a game changer.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
And in these studies that found that when taken it
had almost similar benefits of people taking opiate medications, which
is why it is now FDA approved and hopefully to
be an additional method of helping people in a cute pain.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
So I'm going to ask the question and people are thinking,
which is how.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Much are the eggs? Is that the question? Hey, where
can you get cheap eggs? If you've seen a dozen
eggs the cvs, have any eggs? The costco of any eggs?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Eggs? Where the eggs? Where the eggs? Where the eggs?
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Where's your eggs? Where's your eggs?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Bro?
Speaker 7 (27:16):
So I'm going to ask the question and people are thinking,
which is does it work?
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Does it work as well?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Well, there were two phase three clinical trials where they
gave patients this medication compared it to other patients who
were using opiate medications, and they found that the reduction
in pain was similar to that of patients who got
opiate medications, and more than eighty percent reported either good
or very good response to this medication.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
There are some issues, however, here we go side effects
dry mouth, bleeding from your ears, rectum bleeding, your skin
falls off, your hair falls out, you go deaf, you
go blind, you can't see anything, you can't taste anything,
can't feel anything. Your right arm gets numb. Just a
(28:01):
few side effects.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
There are some issues, however, in terms of long term benefits,
we don't yet know. And the study is when it
went past twelve months or twelve weeks, excuse me, it
found that it didn't reap those great benefits that we
saw in the acute period.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So the longer you use it, the less it works.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
And the majority of Americans who are dealing with PAN or.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Doing I guess like everything. You know, the longer you drink,
the more it takes to get you bombed. All right,
mel Kelly is coming up next here on kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
What's on the Big show, Bob?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
So what does it mean the longer you're married. That's
another one. Yeah, okay. You know, we just celebrated our
twentieth anniversary and congratulations.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
And I looked up what it was, you know, paper
silver and twentieth anniversary is waterboarding. That sounds accurate. Yeah,
we just waterboard each other. We're gonna do that tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
You're not. Yeah, let's be just tough talking, all right.
What's on the Big Show night, Bob.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
Well, we have our pasta thon auction item winner tonight.
Cal Barry Junior, who's basically taken over this show. Okay,
and he's going to be hosting for the first time
on KFI. I'm just gonna take a back seat. Oh
that's great. I'm gonna give him free run of the
station and the show, the whole show, the whole show.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh that man.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I got to do that next year. Yes, you should
just take a day off. Yes, smoke cigarettes or something.
I don't know, but I'll be around. I mean I'll
interject every now and then. But it is his show.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
He does the Window to the Magic podcast, so he
has some familiarity with audio and I think he's going
to do great.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
What did that go for Do you remember money wise,
it was like three thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Really, Oh, that's great, three thousand meals for those kids.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Correct, that is really cool.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I know you and I a little depressed that the Rams.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
If the Rams had beat Philadelphia, I think we'd have
been in the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
We would have been the super Bowl. Yeah, it rolled
over Washington.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Look, I think they gave Philadelphia the toughest game they've
had in months.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
He was down to the last play.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
I mean, you couldn't ask for much more than that,
but they had just one less turnover here or the
leading up to that point, and one less of running
into your own guy that too. Yeah, that was a
big problem, but it was down to one pass. I
would have taken that when they were one and four
to open the season. I would have taken that when
they were down by like fourteen points late in the game.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, they were still in it to the end. Yeah.
Do you have a big Super Bowl party?
Speaker 9 (30:19):
I have on occasion, but I don't I haven't in
recent years. The problem with Super Bowl parties is the
events starts so early that you know, once you're done
with the game and people hang out. It's a problem
and even if you're going somewhere to watch the Super Bowl,
you have to get there super early to get a
decent seat, right, and that beans you there for good
(30:39):
five six hours, and I want to be there five six.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Hours, right.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And then there's two groups. There's the people that want
to watch the game and the people that don't. And
they're both on the you know, in the same house.
And that's a problem. It is a huge problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because you know, you can't you can't enjoy the game
with people talking and walking around all the time.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
Right, And some people want to see the commercials. Some
people don't, right, yeah, some people don't. All right, buddy,
A horrible, crazy month, you know, just the worst. Hopefully February,
February will be a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It's gotta me, It's.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Got me, all right, Moe, Kelly and the whole team
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 Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. And we
like to bring you as much information as we can
on these fires. You know, we're not going to go
into a lot of the sorrow and the pain and
the anger. I think people are trying to, you know,
(00:21):
heal themselves from that. And when they turn on radio
and they hear nothing but that, I think it's a
big turn off. But we would like to help you
when it comes to getting back in your home rebuilding.
What is the real estate market like, what is the
insurance market like? The renters everything. And Jason Silanco is
a real estate expert and a friend of mine used
(00:41):
to work here at KFI.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Years and years and years ago.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm a radio bull first, Yes, the radio bull first,
and then the real estate stud second. Right, just stud, yeah,
just stud all right. So the fire happened all over
you know in the southern California. We know that, and
there's so many questions that people have when it comes
(01:03):
to their property. Can they go clean it up themselves?
They have to wait for the city, They have to
wait for permits. If you're renting, you know, do you
have to pay for your rent. There's a lot going on,
But what is the big picture here? Is it getting
easier to get fire insurance? I know for a couple
of weeks it was it was one hundred percent no
with every company you called.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Right, it was a dire For about the first two
and a half weeks after the fires broke out, insurance
companies were not issuing. At least most insurance, if not
all insurance companies were off. They were like, we're not
issuing anything until the fire is one hundred percent or
ninety nine percent contained.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You can't blame them for that, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean, you know how Holmes we worth ten to
fifteen million dollars and they didn't want to come in
and take a you know, twenty five thousand dollar policy.
And then two days later after write a check for
ten million.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And it kept shifting. First they were like, well when
it's forty percent contained, fifty percent contained, and kept moving.
But then after the rains over the weekend, a lot
of insurance came back in the market or our new product,
new insurance, you know, not admitted insurreans started to come
in and offer offer policies. Still I mean rates are
are not like they were a month ago. It's a
(02:13):
I mean a lot higher, but there's just there's more,
they're more. There are more options out there were you know,
just a week ago even So what's the state option?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, that's called the Fair Plan and that's the plan
of last resort. But a lot of folks, you know,
had to get the Fair Plan because they were dropped
before the fires by State Farm and others, so they
weren't able to find insurance. So they they hopefully got
at least a fair Plan option rather than having no insurance.
But I know some didn't have insurance.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
And what is the Fair Plan. It's just basically state
run insurance.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's well it's it's state it's state operated, but it's
funded by the insurance industry and actually funded by customers
of insurance in California. So were all kind of supporting
this in various ways.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So my history with a company or when they stick
fair in the titles, it may not be.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, it's it's it's definitely not cheap, and it's it's
not fair coverage, but it's coverage and it's better than
no coverage.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So the fair is used like, oh, it's fair, like
a like carnage fair.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, like a description of them. Yeah, it's it's it's like, yeah,
it's the fair in town. It's it's about as good
as that. So it's there's you know there. It will
cover for fire, but it is is very expensive in
terms of liability that you normally have, like someone comes
and trips on your property or something happens that it's
not offered with the fair Plan. You have to get
an additional plan. But I mean some folks, I mean
(03:44):
I I got to hear that so far, this was
a report a few days ago that twenty two percent
of the claims so far have been fair plan.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Right, that's a loss. It's in the affected areas of
the Eaton and towns far, that's a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I think if they were expecting more state from ARM
I think holds were abound twenty five twenty six percent
of the claims that could sink a company.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I mean they're looking at at a total I think
it's between two hundred and fifty and three hundred billion
dollars worth of damage.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, it's you know.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And that's the concern about the Fair Plan is that
it's going to run out of money, and you know
they're going.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
To have to All of our rates will go up.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Every insurance holder in California will pay for that in
some way.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But at least you have insurance because you can't buy
a home if a mortgage. You take out a mortgage
on your property and the mortgage company or the bank
demands that you get insurance or they don't sell that
house to you.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
And also with the Fair Plan, there are a lot
of homes and properties that were under the Fair Plan
that were just older or they needed to have certain
upgrades and the owners weren't able to afford it. So
it is a great thing to have available as last resort.
And you know, the Fair Plan was never a plan,
usually for homes in the more fluent areas of you know, Brentwood,
The Palisade, Santa Monica. But in recent years more of
(04:59):
those insurance holders had to go to the Fair Plan
because they were dropped and there were no other options.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Jason Siloko's with us, you know who. I read.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
An email from a guy who's in the know, and
he said, there are three groups of people out there,
and one of them is the people have insurance and
they might be undersured, but at least they have fire insurance.
The second group is people have been dropped by their insurance.
And that's a group that right now is desperate for
information and for some help. But the third group is
(05:32):
people own you know, ten fifty million dollar homes. They
didn't have any insurance. They could afford it, but they
decided not to get it, and so FEMA or the
government's gonna have to step in and say, you know,
why didn't you have insurance, and they may turn some
of those claims down.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well it also, yes, you're right, Tim, And also with
the fair plan mind understanding is I think it's topped
at either three or five.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Million from sale family home.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So even if they had a fair plan in their
home exceeded that that value. And you know, and think
about it, when these folks even got these plans, I mean,
you know, they're they're probably under insuring or even would
they assess their value of their house at that point
two three four years ago was in the construction costs
have gone up forty percent, But.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You could probably build almost any home again with three
million dollars. I mean that's a lot in just labor
and material. Well, but it depends. I mean it's a
ten million dollar home. Yeah, but I think that a
lot of the pro isn't a lot of the value
of the actual property.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well of course, but.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You know, when you're ensuring, you're you're only ensuring for
the replacement cost of the structures, but just the amount
that costs have gone up, and then how they're just
going to continue to go up now because of labor shortage,
supply shortage, potential tariffs, and just all of the demand
that's going to be coming in.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
But I did they get a tariff? Yeah, there's a
lot to go in Canada, a lot of uncertainty, so
a lot of lumber coming from Canada.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
But you know, I mean how much is it, you know,
a thousand you know, how much to build a square
foot six seven hun to square foot on the Palisades?
I mean, just depends how many square foot square feet
you're going to be rebuilding, right, and what you're going
to be competing against.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
In terms of trying to find, you know, contractors to
do the work.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, there are not we have to we have to
ship contractors in from around the country, around the world.
There's not enough contractors enough day labors or you know
construction guys that can build these homes. We're talking you know,
fourteen fifteen thousand homes. And these are not uh, you know,
cookie cutter homes. These are these are you know, very elaborate,
very high end, you know steel beam, I mean, just
(07:35):
in raw material. I remember when they build Legion Stadium
in Las Vegas where the Raiders play, and they couldn't
get enough steel around the country. They had to use
six or seven different companies just to get the steel
for that for that stadium, and they all they had
to fly constantly, fly into these states where the steel
mill was and make sure that the measurements were exact
(07:56):
because they were using six different companies.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah, and I've heard about, you know, some members of
like more eclectic trades that really don't exist here anymore.
There's still those kind of those those guys in Italy
and other parts of Europe, and that those folks are
getting offered to come here and just basically, you know,
settle here for five years, and these guys will will
advance them money to get them work basically as much
(08:19):
as they want.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And if you're a good like a tile guy, you
can name your price now if you're a sensational tile guy,
you're like, you know, like an artist. All right, come back,
you can stay with us. Yes, Jason Sloka's with us.
We'll talk about renting when we come back, and some
more details on how we put this city and this
part of southern California back together. We're all going to
(08:42):
be a part of it somehow. It looks like they're
going to try to open up pch I fairly soon,
maybe this weekend, open up all lanes, which will take
a lot of the relief out of the valley.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The valley for the last three weeks has been just.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Gridlock on the one oh one from cam Rio all
the way to the four or five, because everyone's using
that as an alternative and it's just been a nightmare
for people. And so we'll come back and talk more
about the about how we're going to get this part
of southern California back up on its feet.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Jason Slaca is with us.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
A real estate expert, at least that's that's what you're
me saying, real estate expert.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Just study I just like study more encompassing.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Of let's get into the people here, the real estate areas.
There's a lot of people leaving the southern California area.
I heard that Phoenix is a is an area that
a lot of people, especially people who are maybe seniors
in your seventies eighties, and they don't have the energy
(09:53):
to rebuild, maybe they don't have the money rebuild. And
Phoenix is a is a is a big property. I
wouldn't say hot spot, but that's you know, horrible to say.
It's a it's a a place where a lot of
people are going.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, they are going there.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
And you know, there was a slowdown in the market
in the Phoenix area, you know, recently until you know,
this was a big boost to it with the right Yeah,
and insurance actually has gone up a lot uh in
Arizona in the last year. It's like the I think
the highest percentage increase in premiums has been in Arizona.
But still it's going to be less than it is here.
(10:30):
But we're also seeing that people are you know, people
that were affected by the eat and fire that they're
just there. A lot of them are moving farther east
along that two ten quarter you know, Glendora, Dwarte, AZUSA,
you know, even out to Rancho Cucamonga and then Claremont
also that's seeing a lot of interest. I hear Claremont
(10:51):
right now. You can't find anything there and really for
a single family home, I mean that's the thing that's
when people are talking about renting in the rental market
being difficult. Really is more about single family home market
is where you're seeing all this this new demand.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, I mean if you have you know, three or
four kids, you know, you can't move into a two
bedroom apartment. You know, you need a big house, and
there aren't that many out there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, you have the.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Big homes, especially you know, the Palisades homes and there
were some you know, very large homes up in the
Pasadena Altadena area, but also yeah, smaller homes or you know,
so if best maybe like a town home that could
have a you know, a company that can accommodate you know,
a family. So that's really where you're seeing the pressure
on the market, and that's where you're seeing demand being
high and inventory I mean very little.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I read an article on online that there were three
homes in the Phoenix area that all went on the
market the same day this past Saturday, and they all
sold on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, things are going, and it's going farther east to
Coachella Valley, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Indian Wells. A lot
of new cash buyers that have descended on there in
the last couple weeks. They're a lot of these folks
or most of I think all of them were affected
by the fires. So their things are getting snapped up
there within twenty minutes of hitting the MLS.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
The same with the rental market.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
And this is the quote season for the Desert Palm Springs,
Palm Desert, that area, and so it's already in high demand.
You have the snowbirds from Canada and stuff like that.
So anything that is still available on the market for
rental is getting is getting taken off the market almost.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And if you live in Phoenix, you're not handcuffed by
the gouging laws, I don't think. I think it's just
in the areas where they declared the state of emergency, right,
and so that's going to go on.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, that's that's going to happen, and you know, but
at the same time, I think there it is a
bit overblown in terms of the oh, you know, all
apartment rents are going up and stuff like that, and
it's really not. I mean, people are the rentals available
around here? I mean really for you know, one bedroom
kind of traditional apartment or studio or even a two
bedroom for that matter. In La County, I'm not seeing
(13:01):
a lot of pressure on those prices, and I still
seeing a pretty healthy amount of availability.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
On the market.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Really, where have these people gone then? But for it's well,
are they stay with friends and family?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
They are, or they're they're they're staying in homes or
airbnb's while they can. But because of the homes, those
that that rental market, I mean, that's where it's just
you know.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I also heard that high end motor homes are in
demand too. Everything.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know, you're going to put a motor home on
your property while you rebuild it.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Right, And a lot of folks are already ordering these
prefabricated ad us with the intention of putting those on
their property, living in that while they rebuild the home.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh like a small little guest house.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I getting it on there and using that at this
is as a placeholder until they're It's a good idea
and then they can keep that there because the new
you know, state laws, you don't have to tear that
thing down because they trump you know, local municipalities.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What about renters.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
If somebody is is unable to use their apartment because
they can't get back in, are they still paying rent?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Well, I mean they still have to. I mean I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I mean in terms of legally, I don't know what
what the position would be. I mean, I would think
that the landlord would understand that it would be, uh
could be impossible to pay the rent and you're not
having any use of it. But you know, I don't know.
I think they would have to work that out. I
can't imagine them being evicted for it. I mean, no
one's gonna in the right mind sign off on an
(14:29):
eviction for someone who came and get to their place
for failure to pay rent.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Right for two reasons.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
One it will probably be overturned in downtown when either
go to court. And two you don't want that kind
of stink that you threw somebody out.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah exactly, I mean that just just I don't see
that how that could be, how that would be possible.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Plus it's double dipping and FEMA will go after them.
If FEMA is giving them money to compensate for people
who can't pay their rent, and they're charging people rent,
they can go to jail for that, right.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
And and also I mean if they're covered, if they
have an insurance policy for loss of rents, they're they're
going to be covered for for anything like that. The
landlord should be at least if they were adequately insured.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Oh, I didn't know that renters insurance also could cover
your your your monthly check, your your rent check.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Well, I don't think it covers that, but I'm saying
the landlord's policy. Oh I see, Right, there's a thing
called loss of rents loss of income if it's a
if it's a rental property, that they should be able
to recoup any any loss of rents that happened as
a result of this.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Right, and if they do both, and that's double dipping.
You know, if they if they get money from the
insurance company for a loss of rent and then charge
renters still that they can go to jail for that.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
But we don't know how long it's going to be
until these renters can get even get back into their place,
let alone live in there.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's horrible. So and what about real quickly?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I know that you've got to you know, split here,
but Hollywood has really shut down.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yes, and that this has only made it worse and
created more uncertainty for people that might be economically on
the fence about what to do. Maybe they weren't impacted
directly by the fire, but they're thinking, Okay, maybe I
will I will move back to you know, Ohio. Now
now is a good time because there has you know,
the work is almost two years now. The works has
(16:12):
just disappeared, right since the strikes. The strikes and everyone
thought this was going to be the year, and there's
no indication. I mean, you hope it is and that
things improved. But you're also seeing folks that maybe they're
on the creative side, maybe they're writers, or maybe they're
they're work in la Is is only required, you know,
for certain periods of time. So now they're hey, well
I'm gonna just move to Atlanta. Uh, you know, I'm
(16:33):
gonna move to Utah. I'm gonna move somewhere else. If
I've had my house burned down, why not?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Look, and and also you know, I hope that we
don't get painted with the same problem and the same
stink that Lehaina did. People stop going to Maui because
they thought the whole island burned and it's really less
than one percent of the island had burned down. Well, la,
if you're if you're anywhere, if you don't know it
Los Angeles, you think that the whole city burned down
(17:01):
when it's really like, you know, one or two or
three percent. But if you live in Cleveland or Atlanta
or in Miami, you think the whole town burned down
and you can't go visit here because it's all gone.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It's not true. Yeah, no, absolutely, I think you're going
to see tourism go down.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And I think that.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I think people thought Malibu kind of overrepresented what the
tourist experience was here, and yeah, they're not coming.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, that's crazy. We'll love to check back with you
as this progresses. Jason Silaco, where do people where are
you on? Are you on social Do you know that
social media exists? I'm on Friendster friends there?

Dinged wrong with you? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I talked.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I was at Walmart last night and there was a
lady looking at the egg prices and she said to
her I think it was her daughter or I don't know,
maybe your niece. She said, well, we'll try Ralphs on
the way home, or Vaughn's there there. We'll see if
can get a better deal on eggs. Everybody is talking
about egg prices. How many fing eggs are we eating?
(19:46):
I don't know that many people are into eggs. And
you turn on the news, that's all they talk about
egg prices.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Everybody does if you win.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
A supermarket lately, and Rebecca, you don't need me to
tell you egg prices through the roof. And this is
due bird flu that's killed millions of chickens. The USCA
says egg prices are up nearly thirty seven percent from
a year ago. They're expected to rise another twenty percent
this year. So to see if they're saving shortcuts, I
hit the road out here in northern California. Now, get
(20:15):
this the top price I found thirteen dollars and ninety
nine cents.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Who thirteen ninety nine for a dozen eggs. That's more
than a bucking egg.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Almost fourteen bucks for a dozen eggs.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
That's quick math.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Thirteen dollars and ninety nine cents.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Thirteen calculator thirteen ninety nine doesn't tell me if that's
close enough to fourteen dollars. Maybe this lady will help
me out.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Thirteen dollars and ninety nine cents.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Is that anywhere near fourteen.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Almost fourteen bucks for a dozen eggs? Ah?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay, she helped me out there, just hacking her way
through the story.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
That wasn't an Asian grocery chain near me.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Regional grocery chain had eggs seven sixty five.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh, then go there, go there.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I tried the gas station. The convenience store there.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Had egg there's where you get your quality eggs at
the gas station.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
I tried the gas station. The convenience store there had
eggs for six.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Fifty nine, Well, buy those eggs.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
But here's where things got really interesting. At the big
national pharmacy chain near me that normally has milk, eggs, bacon, bear.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Shells, Oh no, what are you going to do? CBS's
out of eggs.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
There were no eggs where they normally are. They sold out.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
My local costco was also completely sold out of.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Eggs, as were two other costcos.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I called, Oh no, where are the eggs.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
The employees did say they get eggs in the morning.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
They cost about they get eggs, they get an a,
they get a egg.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Employees did say they get eggs in the morning. They
cost about seven to sixty nine for two dozens.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh they get those. Get those seven to sixty nine
for two dozen. You're on easy Street.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
That's a good deal.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Surprise finished to my eggs stravaganza. The cheapest eggs actually
purchased yesterday.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
It came from Whole.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Foods three ninety nine for this for a dozen of
eggs and plenty of stock.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So I'm doing for a dozen of eggs, for a
dozen of eggs, a.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Dozen of eggs for three ninety nine.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Pray dozen of eggs and plenty of stock. So I'm
just one person in California. Prices may vary.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Got to get those eggs, got to get my cart
at Costco and get my cards out and get those eggs.
Everyone's talking about these eggs. Nobody lets it go.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
So you know, of course, everybody wants to know why
are egg prices so expensive?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Or the other ninety nine percent of the people could
care less.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, of course, Well there's a few things driving these
record high prices, but without a doubt, the biggest factor.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Is the bird flap bird flow.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
The virus first hit the US about three years ago,
but it tends to come in waves, sometimes disappearing for
months a day.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
They have the bird Can birds get the flu shot?
We should ask doctor Wren.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
This latest wave, which began in mid October, has been
the worst one yet by far. Just this month alone,
farmers have had to call over fifteen million egg laying hens. WHOA,
that's already more than they lost in the entirety of
twenty twenty three and we're only in January.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What's going on with this country? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Where all we do is talk about eggs and we
got the bird flu rolling around? Man oh Man, does
seem like the world's sort of coming to an end.
You know, it seems like we're just not some we're
missing something in this country just to be really cool
to hang here now. Just every day is more bad news,
bad news after bad news, all day long.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
All right, some good news.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Jaye Leno's going on the air on a show at
the Flappers in Burbank at eight pm, an hour and
seventeen minutes from now, and then tomorrow's seven thirty at

Speaker 2 (24:37):
It's a disaster.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So the l mission very cool to open up tomorrow
eleven am to four pm, eight fifty five North Orange
Grove in Pasadena.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Great news for people out there that are in constant pain.
You have pain in your neck, your back, your legs,
and you don't want to take opiates opioids. You don't
want to be addicted. You don't want to you know
the whole run. People treat you like a drug addict.
There's a new drug out there that is opioid free
(25:17):
called jor navisjor Navis, and it's going to help you
with your pain Darien.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
And for the first time in decades, the FDA has
approved a non opioid pain killer to pain an adult.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
It's for a cute pain too, So the medication is
called soutrading and the way.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Shoot for teene, shoot forgine, and it's called it's called
jornavisjor Navis And the.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Way to understand how this medication works, we first have
to understand.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
How pain works.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
So let's say you stub your toe or jan your finger. Yeah,
that signal is traveling by nerves, enters your spine, goes
to your brain, tells you that you have pain, so
that you can react to that pain stimulus. Now, the
way that opiate medications work is that that medication, once
you take it, releases dopamine in your brain, creates this
feeling of euphoria and kind of distracts you from that pain. Now,
the problem is is that that dopamine overlaps with other
(26:05):
reward pathways, and that is one of the reasons why
opiate medications increase the risk of addiction. Now, this new
medication works in a little bit of a different way.
The way that it works is that it is a
sodium channel blocker, and what that means is that it
blocks the signal of pain from going from that stub finger,
that stub toe to traveling.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
To your that's great.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Have you noticed that as you get older it takes
longer for the pain to get to your brain, Like
when you stubbed your toe. As a kid, it was
instant pain. Now it's like one one thousand, two one thousand, three.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Thousands to traveling to your brain and it doesn't involve
that dopamine access and therefore decreases the risk of you
being addicted. And in these studies that found that when.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Takes about this a pain reliever that might be non addictive,
that could be a game changer.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
And in these studies that found that when taken it
had almost similar benefits of people taking opiate medications, which
is why it is now FDA approved and hopefully to
be an additional method of helping people in a cute pain.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
So I'm going to ask the question and people are thinking,
which is how.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Much are the eggs? Is that the question? Hey, where
can you get cheap eggs? If you've seen a dozen
eggs the cvs, have any eggs? The costco of any eggs?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Eggs? Where the eggs? Where the eggs? Where the eggs?
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Where's your eggs? Where's your eggs?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Bro?
Speaker 7 (27:16):
So I'm going to ask the question and people are thinking,
which is does it work?
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Does it work as well?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Well, there were two phase three clinical trials where they
gave patients this medication compared it to other patients who
were using opiate medications, and they found that the reduction
in pain was similar to that of patients who got
opiate medications, and more than eighty percent reported either good
or very good response to this medication.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
There are some issues, however, here we go side effects
dry mouth, bleeding from your ears, rectum bleeding, your skin
falls off, your hair falls out, you go deaf, you
go blind, you can't see anything, you can't taste anything,
can't feel anything. Your right arm gets numb. Just a
(28:01):
few side effects.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
There are some issues, however, in terms of long term benefits,
we don't yet know. And the study is when it
went past twelve months or twelve weeks, excuse me, it
found that it didn't reap those great benefits that we
saw in the acute period.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So the longer you use it, the less it works.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
And the majority of Americans who are dealing with PAN or.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Doing I guess like everything. You know, the longer you drink,
the more it takes to get you bombed. All right,
mel Kelly is coming up next here on kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
What's on the Big show, Bob?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
So what does it mean the longer you're married. That's
another one. Yeah, okay. You know, we just celebrated our
twentieth anniversary and congratulations.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
And I looked up what it was, you know, paper
silver and twentieth anniversary is waterboarding. That sounds accurate. Yeah,
we just waterboard each other. We're gonna do that tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
You're not. Yeah, let's be just tough talking, all right.
What's on the Big Show night, Bob.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
Well, we have our pasta thon auction item winner tonight.
Cal Barry Junior, who's basically taken over this show. Okay,
and he's going to be hosting for the first time
on KFI. I'm just gonna take a back seat. Oh
that's great. I'm gonna give him free run of the
station and the show, the whole show, the whole show.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh that man.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I got to do that next year. Yes, you should
just take a day off. Yes, smoke cigarettes or something.
I don't know, but I'll be around. I mean I'll
interject every now and then. But it is his show.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
He does the Window to the Magic podcast, so he
has some familiarity with audio and I think he's going
to do great.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
What did that go for Do you remember money wise,
it was like three thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Really, Oh, that's great, three thousand meals for those kids.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Correct, that is really cool.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I know you and I a little depressed that the Rams.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
If the Rams had beat Philadelphia, I think we'd have
been in the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
We would have been the super Bowl. Yeah, it rolled
over Washington.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Look, I think they gave Philadelphia the toughest game they've
had in months.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
He was down to the last play.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
I mean, you couldn't ask for much more than that,
but they had just one less turnover here or the
leading up to that point, and one less of running
into your own guy that too. Yeah, that was a
big problem, but it was down to one pass. I
would have taken that when they were one and four
to open the season. I would have taken that when
they were down by like fourteen points late in the game.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, they were still in it to the end. Yeah.
Do you have a big Super Bowl party?
Speaker 9 (30:19):
I have on occasion, but I don't I haven't in
recent years. The problem with Super Bowl parties is the
events starts so early that you know, once you're done
with the game and people hang out. It's a problem
and even if you're going somewhere to watch the Super Bowl,
you have to get there super early to get a
decent seat, right, and that beans you there for good
(30:39):
five six hours, and I want to be there five six.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Hours, right.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And then there's two groups. There's the people that want
to watch the game and the people that don't. And
they're both on the you know, in the same house.
And that's a problem. It is a huge problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because you know, you can't you can't enjoy the game
with people talking and walking around all the time.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
Right, And some people want to see the commercials. Some
people don't, right, yeah, some people don't. All right, buddy,
A horrible, crazy month, you know, just the worst. Hopefully February,
February will be a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It's gotta me, It's.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
