to New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I went to Mark Thompson. I went to Vegas together,
and you know, just for like a guy's weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You know, back when we were in it was a
three day weekend. I think it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Did your shirt stay on the entire time?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Oh no, not, I'm close. But but Mark went early.
He went on Wednesday, and I was going to meet
him there on Friday. So I get there Friday and
I call him up. He goes, Buddy, I'm in the
middle of the poker game. Oh no, I don't worry.
I have tables to hit. And then Saturday comes around
and he calls me. He goes, hey, let's have lunch.
I'm like, oh man, I'm on this hot slot machine
right here. I just got a bonus. I said, let's
just meet later. I said, okay, I'll meet later, and
(02:10):
then I called him. He's in the middle of a
poker game. We both flew back to Burbank and never
saw each other once.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Wow, on the whole plane.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
That would have been great. The whole reason we went
that weekend was to hang over with each other.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Never saw a bank and got off the plane went oh,
oh hey, how are you.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
We talked to each other four times on the phone,
and that was a wrap. But that's what guys do
you know? You know you're getting a hot game. You know,
we did have the rule we said to each other.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
If you're in the middle of samon, you're in the
middle of like a hot you run it a hot
roll or something that you don't have to break away
for dinner.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That's right, Yeah, all right, now we want to see
each other. We're talking about here.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You're you've come on to explain how four team members
of Congress are debating on whether to allow the Kansas
City Chiefs to use the term three pete. Is it
that big a deal?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Exactly right. Nothing about the fires, just about that and
and Patrick Mahomes and how he uses the rules to
his benefit.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh yeah, that's wild. Huh yeah. All right, So we're
talking about the problems with the with the alerts. Huh yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
So did you get the erroneous or two or three?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I got it right here when I was doing cross
talk with John Colebough. We both got it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, So that's what they're looking into that. Yeah, the
problem is like you know an Altadena where they didn't
get alerts, that's going to be a problem. But that's
a different investigation. This is fourteen members of Congress that's
being led by Congressman Robert Garcia, the former mayor of
Long Beach. They're more worried about the one that went
out to everybody because they're afraid one people are going
(03:37):
to turn off their alerts now and do it buy
them going into you know your settings, you can turn
them off, or like crying Wolf, just ignore them, or
that somebody in the middle of the night you get
one of these and you freak out and you get
up and get in your car and crash, and you
can go back to people panicking thinking that there's a
wildfire coming down on them. So they want some answers
(03:57):
on this. And the Congressman saying, this is.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
The steateum urgency where there was a clear failure in
our system to get the public the information.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And he's saying, this isn't just about LA but they
went off in Orange County. It could be anywhere in
the US or anywhere in the world. That we got
to figure out how these things work. And you remember
back when it happened, the county employee in charge of
the EAS system, or at least these alerts over at
the office, the emergency management office at the command center.
So this was technology. It was not humans sending out
these mistake and alerts. It was a computer's doing it
(04:26):
on their own.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
First of all, I want to clarify this is not
human driven. There is no one sitting at a desk
right now initiating emergency alerts.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh wait, what the computers are doing it on their own.
And the Congressman said he doesn't get that.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
In we have somehow an automated system that's sending out
alerts without any sort of human control.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
To be able.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
To stop that or to fix that issue as it's
happening is really concerning. That doesn't make any sense. So
they want answers that they are sending a letter now
to the county and the state and FEMA and the
FCC in a software company that's used to send out
these alerts to yourself on saying they want to understand
how did the erroneous alert go out? It created panic
for some people that they got them in the middle
(05:09):
of the night where you know there are wildfires around
and you get one saying that the one is near
your home and to evacuate. Now that that's going to
be worrisome. Some of the experts say, well, when the
when lines, when the towers go down, if it can't
ping the right tower, it'll bounce off of another tower,
and you can get some mistakes nearby where maybe it
doesn't hit out to Dina, but it you know, it
hits Sierra Madre or somewhere here and there, but not
(05:33):
the entire county and into Orange County and Riverside and
San Bernardino getting this message. So they want the answers.
I think a lot of people did. And you got
the follow up one saying whoa wha, that was a mistake,
don't evacuate but that could have been too late for
some people either turning them off or already running out
of their home.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But Alex, what what made us believe that the city
was going to knock this out? I mean, you know,
aside from LAPD and la FD, what do they do well,
lib no streets nope, traffic nope, power, no water?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Who goes to the firefighters jumping in there and the
and law enforcement? But this one, the alerts were not
all that smooth. And yeah, there were people who were
saying that they were not an evacuation zone and they
got multiples of these or as they were driving, they
kept going off. The driving makes more sense that you're
going through different geographic regions where there were evacuations. If
(06:24):
you were going, you know, along the two ten, you
were going through those evac zones, so it would go
off again and again and again if you went through
different cell areas. But others got it and they were
fifty miles away.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, I mean people from Ocean Side to Lancaster got them.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Right, telling them get out now there's a wildfire in
your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Right, And then the next one was, oh, it's that's
a mistake. You don't have to do anything and like
wait a minute from from get out and all take
all your stuff down and don't do anything in eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, And there were some who got multiples of those
where then they just started ignoring them.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So what if it had been real and they did
need to go right? I don't know, though, I think,
you know, if if the fire is getting closed. I
think people like we're like dogs. I think we have
a natural instinct when it's time to go.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, I mean, I think the problem was Santa Clarita
is a good example where there was the fire through
the New Hall pass. It was burning early on, not
the huge fire, but the other one that was going
on there, And so people were getting these in the
middle of the night and they knew that there was
a fire nearby, the eating fire. Yeah no, not not
(07:29):
the eating fire, the Hurst fire. Oh I see right, yeah, right,
that was going along the fourteen and the five. So
they knew that there were there was a fire nearby,
and it was extremely windy, and you go to bed
for four hours and wake up to this thing going
you know, next to your bed, and it says get
out now, and you're thinking, did it run in the
wind or are we in it now?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know? Is this go time?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
And so as people who were kind of close to
what was going on, but we're.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Not in danger. You know what's truly ironic about the
you know anything about the Eaton family, you know that
that part of Yeah, the valley there, but they were
the first ones like to get the water rights that
they didn't lead, didn't do illegally, but there was some
mischief going on in the Central Valley and they stole
a lot of water from the Central Valley to bring
(08:13):
into Los Angeles to capitalize and make a lot of money.
And it turns out that that fire was named after
that family. Yeah, crazy world. That is weird, Bunny. I
appreciate you coming on. If you don't speak to before
the big game, enjoy the big game later, guys. Alright,
all right, thank you buddy. There he goes Alex Stone.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He's the real thing.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, he's the real deal. I don't know what we
do with this alert thing, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, I mean I think the other thing that I
would just add to what you guys were saying is
that when you're in a general state of anxiety, which
we were, there is a sense of there's a red
flag warning everywhere. It could happen anywhere, so that even
the existing fires aren't the only thing you're worried about.
You're worried about a random fire starting near your neighborhood.
So to the point when you get that alert in
(08:59):
the middle of the night, you think, oh my god,
there's a new fire and it's a it must be
on my doorstep because I've just gotten this a leart
like I get out of here.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Well, it's despicable what happened to people in Altadena at
all that west of Lake didn't get that alarm, or
East of Lake got it, you know, eight hours after
the other side of Lake got it and seventeen people died.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, I had that tragedy on tragedy.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I know. No, it just doesn't Nothing really runs well
in this part of California. I can't think of anything.
I mean, you know, the light rail doesn't not really great,
the streets are all banged up, the water mains are
constantly breaking, the libraries or homeless shelters. I mean, you
can go on and on about the city of la
They don't do anything really well outside of fire and cops.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I'd say it's a big city with big city problems. Okay,
that's about the best spin I can give you. That's
what keeps them in power. I like that, buddy, I
liked it. I didn't say I didn't say you don't
have to vote out leadership at all. I know, but
I think that's how we stay like this. It's just
it's a big city, big problems, and you mean to
deal with that. You've just seen the DA get swept out,
(10:01):
so you know that people will vote against that. This
kind of progressive.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, I'm not even talking about progressive. I'm just talking
about there's so many problems in this in this part
of of l A, in the city of la that
I don't even think they're fixable. I mean, I think
there's just too many. And they're broke.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's definitely incrementally.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, they're broke. City of l A is broke. They've
got they don't have any money. Stefoo's it's like horrible,
like you pretty much, Yeah, you're like the city of
l A. Yeah, yeah, pretty Do you ever think about that?
As a matter of fact, you have more money than
the city of l A about that, But there are
billions of dollars in the red you're even.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You also have fewer problems in the city of La
I have. That's Oh, you are in the red.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm in the red. I didn't know that. I thought
you were in the black. No, I'm in the red.
All right, we'll have to discuss that. We gotta get
you back to even, buddy. That's why I'm going back
to Uber and Lyft. Oh you are? Yeah, man, this
is the only the guy I know that takes off
time here at KFI to make more money doing Lyft.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, why not? What, sirch? That's surge pricing hits.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Isn't that true? You're making more money on Lyft than
you make here. Oh yeah, Friday and Saturday I could
make uh what make? That's unbelievable. All right, We're alive,
just barely here on k Thompson more now with the
Uber guy.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF.
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, we got a great review today, so I guess
we can goof off belly and I went to a
meeting today and there's a focus group that they asked
like sixty people, you know, what's what do you like
about the show?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Hate about potentially brutal or potentially great.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, this one was good. I was yeah, yeah, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
They they play everybody like, uh cuts from the station.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's right. Yeah, and then they ask him, you know
what your favorite show was, what show you hated? What
show you you sucks? And we skate at Bellio, BELLYO
and I usually get hammered those things.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
No really yeah, yeah, they haven't gone well in the past.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
They have not gone well.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
They can also be affected by leading questions. The people
asking the questions can really get whatever they want out
of those. I'm not saying it's not I'm saying it's great.
The questions can influence, you know, but if everybody's being
asked the same questions about all the shows, then it's
a fair appraisal.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah we did not Bellio and congratulations, Bellio learned her lesson.
She dressed up for it. No, I don't know why.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
You know, after every meeting we have with the bosses
walking out, Timmell's say hey, thanks for showing up and
appreciate you dressing up, and it's like, you weren't dress
worse than me.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Why do you have to add that little like he
likes to dig i compliment her, and she doesn't know
how to take it.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
That was not a compliment when you say, hey, thanks
for dressing up.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It was you dressed up, had church clothes on or something.
I don't know what was going on.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
And then last time, because I did wear sweats, well
they were nice sweats, Yeah they're nice.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, they were the kind you buy at the airport.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
No, they were not.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
And also it wasn't like a real formal meeting. It
was just like a chit chat. So it was okay
to wear sweats. Okay, it's not a compliment.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
She she had a shirt on that you seriously, I
thought they were selling it like the Vegas airport. You know,
it's one of those things you buy the way home.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
I got it in Florida, not Vegas at the airport.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah. Yes. When I worked in the newsroom at the
NBC station in San Francisco, there was a writer there
and he used to wear a coat and tie every day.
But you have to understand in this newsroom that time,
filled with people, all of them doing different things, researchers, editors, etc.
No one was dressed up except the talent, Okay, like anchors.
(13:55):
I was like the weather guy, and the anchor man,
the anchor woman. They were stuff in the sports guy.
But apart from that, nobody awore tizes except for in
the executive suites. Those people wore tize. So this guy,
day after day, year after year, he wore a coat
and tie, and I thought, oh, I just I don't know.
I don't know what he's trying to get. He ended
up being the number two guy.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
There is that right, Yeah, he he dressed for the
good position.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And I thought of you. And you'll wonder what I
mean as I think back on it, because you've made
the point like when you speak to groups of cops,
or when you speak to various groups that you speak
in front of, you'll put on a coat and tie.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I always do you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, And there's a certain something that comes with that,
and this guy knew that, and it took him years
of wearing that coat and time. He also obviously brought
some competence to the job, but there are a lot
of competent people in that newsroom with that coat and tie. Dude,
he's the one who made it. My dad told me that.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
He said, if you ever you ever do anything for
the cops of the fire department and He only mentioned
the cops of the fire department. He didn't mention anybody else.
He said, sports coat and tie at minimum, preferably a suit,
but you can get away with sports coat and tie.
And I and I took that to heart and I said, yeah,
I said, I'm gonna do that. And then I show
up at a golf tournament. Lapd is playing a golf
(15:05):
tournament Woodland Hills. I'm gonna m see it. Everybody's in,
everybody's free balling it and hang ten shorts and I
have a sports coat on with a tie. It's one
hundred and ten degrees out And the cops are like, man,
why don't you Why don't you just hang you know,
why don't you put some shorts on and just hang
with us? Why do you have to wear a suit
and tie? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Ah, my dad said, you know, I should wear a suit.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Dime.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
We just got word that Luca Daunchik doncik. Is it
true that he showed up in an air ambulance he's
that injured? Yeah? Is that right? I don't think that
that's Is that just a private jet? I don't know,
but he showed up. He's gonna be our new guy
around here. That's a Lakers. Yeah, big acquisition and belli O.
(15:51):
I don't know if you know this, but you know
there's a very popular podcast called nine and Dime. Have
you heard of it? Nine and dime? All right? The
nine is Matthew Stafford and the dime is Cooper Cup
because Stafford's nine and Cooper Cup is ten. Sure that's
the numbers that they wear on their chest and on
(16:11):
their back.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Okay, So Cooper Cup's going to be traded. They want
Cooper Cup traded by like noon tomorrow. I cannot believe
the Cup is l I can't believe it either. I
love that guy. But and yes, there's an opening in
the nine and dime podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So you're looking for that. We have to just find
another dime for the nine.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's right, and I'm thinking I'd like to do it.
I'd like to be Matthew Stafford's sidekick and do that
nine in dime. Maybe I can bring like a dime
bag or something. I say, yeah, you'd have to work
that in, work that angle in you.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
You'd be great with Matthew staff I.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Could bring him, you know a little more structure to
the show. Sure, I could bring him. You know our
social media numbers. Yeah, I think I'm going along with you. Yea,
you can be a big part of it. You're gonna
be a major part of it. And I and I
think I think you like he's he spent a lot
of time in Detroit. My mom and my mom's whole
family's in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So I think I'm I'm I could uh a lot of.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
That in the Hunt for nine and Dome.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Maybe forget the dime and you bring the.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Dong diamond dong. Yeah, nine and dog. Yeah, I think
you're better with nine and dime. I don't know dinging
dogs nine dogs, Yeah yeah, nine and nine dogs Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah again, I think nine and diamonds are stronger.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
But yeah, anyway, so belly, see if you get Matthew
Stafford on, well see if I if he's looking for
a sidekick or he might just shut it down. He
never looked like he was into it. Oh you know,
he just showed up and he was like, I'll do
with a podcast? Is that because he doesn't need it? No,
he doesn't. He's worth a couple hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
He's an elite, you know, future Hall of Fame. That's right, Yeah,
that's right. But they built a whole set for it
and everything. Oh well, we at least could use that
set now you're talking.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, it's all it's all black with like his awards
behind him. Well, I'm sorry, that's yours.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I don't mean to insinuate. Yeah, thank you. That's my
set on The Mark Thompson Show. The if you were
if I was the nine to replace Stafford, could you
be the dime? I mean the set is right there.
Yeah probably, Yeah, I know you think we could not
know you. If you want to be the nine, I'll
be the dime, or I'll be the dime to your.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Whatever i'd like to go on. I'd like to be
a sidekick on your on The Mark Thompson Show. And
every time you talk about Trump, I'll just go, you
gotta shut this down. Yeah he could have shut you down. Yeah,
you could really to shut you down.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
The your your crew, the DNC. We're voting yesterday to
get a new chairman. Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
They're really not my crew, but I appreciate that you
associate me with them, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I don't caucus with them. Oh you don't, okay, Now,
all right, here's how it went though. They're looking for
a new chairman of the DNC. Sure, here's how they decide.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Rules specify that when we have a gender non binary
candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted as
neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices must
be gender balanced. With the results of the previous four elections,
our elected officers are currently too male and to female.
(19:26):
In order to be gender balanced, we must we must
elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So again, this is what we.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Have to do for this vice chair race.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
We have to elect one male, one female, and one
person of any gender. To ensure our process accounts for male, female,
and non binary candidates, we conferred with our RBC co chair,
our LGBT Caucus co Chair, and others to ensure that
the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
In our rules. She was like a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
She was like, Oh, this is why I don't caucush
with her.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And then I thought this guy was a shoe in.
This guy is a Afro Latino who's non binary. Uh huh.
He's half black, half Hispanic, and he's non binary. I
thought this guy was a layup. Yeah, I find out
what happened.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
My name is Troy Blackwell.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
I know that I'm a new face to many of you,
but I'm a proud after Latino from the South Bronx,
New York. I got into this work because at the
age of eighteen, unfortunately, I was the victim of a
hate crime. Today I stand before you as one of
the first non binary candidates to run in the DNC's
one hundred and seventy seven year history. I'm proud to
(20:51):
be the only after Latino in this race. I'm asking
you to take a chance on someone like me, a
proud non binary after Latino from the side Bronx.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Okay, sounds like a winner. Well, I mean again, it is.
If that's the only thing you're concerned with, maybe, but
you got to it comes down to competence, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't know. I thought that that was a big part.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He thought it was all just a general.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I thought that the gender was a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Apparently it is.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Well, let's find out how he did. All right, here
we go.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
The final tally of votes. Troy Blackwell zero. Well, it's
not so good.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Didn't work out in golf. That would be a good thing,
you know, and if it was on the prices right,
he would have gotten the bana banam. That's that sound effect.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I wish he'd pro tip, don't just talk about your gender.
Maybe mention some things that have to do with the
kind of political activism you've had.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, but he was playing the game the way that
he thought the rules were set up for him to
move ahead.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, where's my office?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Talk about what you are, what color you are, what
your heritage is, and who you have sex with, and
you're a ship.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, I guess they're moving on from that apparently.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I think that's a good move.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I've never heard that term before. Afro Latino. Have you
heard that term?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I don't think I really have heard it much.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, that's the first time I ever heard that term.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
My name is Troy Blackwell.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
I know that I'm a new face to many of you,
but I'm a proud after Latino from the South Bronx,
New York s.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, I like it so far. I like it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Proud Afro Latino, non binar.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Nothing wrong with that, but then segue to some political
stuff right.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Into this work because at the age of eighteen, unfortunately,
I was the victim of a hate crime. Today I
stand before you as one of the first non binary
candidates to run in the DNC's one hundred and seventy
seven year history.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
All right, Troy black One, did you cut out any part?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
What did he say? From other stuff that you may.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Have lifted, I don't know. I'm just playing it from
the YouTube.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Out non binary after Latino from the South Bronx.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, he's a proud non binary Afro Latino from the Bronx.
It's fine. His name is Troy Blackwell.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
The final tally of votes Troy Blackwell zero.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's a rough, rough day.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah, because there are like three hundred people voting, and
you think somebody would throw them a bone. I'd voted
for him. I'd like to see that, you know. I
like to say that I was the first guy to
vote for a non binary Afro Latino. Would you, Yeah,
that's great.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I would. Its like an odd brag for you, but
maybe it's one of my very many odd brags.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
But I think you know, every time I talk about
like the the LGBTQ community or the trans community. I
feel like I'm on an island of my own. I
don't feel like there's anybody in radio who is an
ally of that of those groups, like like I am. Yeah,
I feel like I'm just a single voice in all
(23:54):
these other talk and news voices that ignore that crew.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I didn't realize that you were an ally. That's how
maybe I'm not. I got to collect more with what
you say. Are you an advocate for them?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I'm an ally an ally? Yeah, and what does that mean?
That means I'm I'm pro those.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
Groups lgbt Q. That's right, Tim, I have an idea. Yes,
why don't you come with me to pride. Let's pride
it out.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That'd be great. When is it June? June? I'm in
all right, I'll want the people that I've never been
invited into that parade. That's kind of insulting.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well, apparently it is, given the fact that you're such
an ally.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
That's right, that's right, that is great, love.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I'd love to want to come to Mark. Well, I'm
not quite the ally that I mean. I am supportive,
but I don't know that I'm going to go to
the parade.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It'll be fun. Yeah, Mark's not into it. He's not
into I don't like parades. He's also not into like
the gaze and the transaction.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'm very supportive of Gage in trash.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway toun. You're on demand from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's Conwychell. Mark Thompson is here. It's kind of a
cool deal, right that you're here.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
All right, let's get into We've got some other news here.
Michael Jordan's kid got popped for a dewey.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It was kind of a quite an incident, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's get into the details here. Unfortunately,
you know, when you're Michael Jordan's kid and you get
a dui, it's going to be news. You know, TMZ
and all the you know, soap opera publications, it'll all
be on it, and you know it's going to be
a big deal.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
And breaking news. Here at Channel nine, we have just obtained,
actually within the last twenty minutes or so, this body
camera video from Maitland police last night, showing officers arresting
Michael Jordan's son Marcus.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
You know, before video cameras, you know, the guy could say, oh,
I think it's Michael Jordan's kid, and you know, just
slide him home. Sure, not anymore good evening.
Speaker 12 (26:05):
I'm Greg Warmouth and no Martha Sagowski. Officers found him
early this morning, stuck on the sun Rail tracks. According
to the arrest report, Jordan told officers he made the
wrong turn and needed help.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Getting off those tracks.
Speaker 12 (26:17):
Officers say he renked of alcohol, was slurring his speech,
his eyes were bloodshot.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I think that's how he got on the train tracks.
He was bombed.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
Officers say he renked of alcohol, was slurring his speech,
his eyes were bloodshot.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
And oh man, and they would say the same thing
if they came to my house last night.
Speaker 12 (26:34):
Read of alcohol, was slurring his speech, his eyes were bloodshot.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Were driving her house?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
No, I never drive. I don't even when I occasionally
have a couple of pops. I don't even like to
if my car is You know, we have street sweeping
in Burbank. I don't know if you guys still have
that in La but we have street sweeping in Burbank.
If my car is on the north the east side
of the of the street and there're going to be
a ticket that day and I've had even one drink,
(27:01):
I'll have my wife go out and move that car
to the other side of the street. Wow. Because if
anyone comes around the corner and hits me and I'm
moving that car, I'm done. That's a greatme done point.
So my wife's got to get out, you know, in
her bathrobe, and go move that car for her winter husband,
that's what she says. But she likes cheese sticks. Oh,
(27:24):
I get her cheese sticks. If that'll do it. Do
you like cheese sticks? I don't you know. There's no
fake cheese sticks, like like chay sticks.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Maybe they. I'll have to look into it.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
Greats of alcohol was slurring his speech, his eyes were bloodshot,
and he was confused about.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Where he was.
Speaker 12 (27:41):
We'll bring you more of this video coming up. We
do have live team coverage for you on this developing story.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You know where he made this mistake. If he called
triple A instead of nine to one one, triple A
probably would have towed him out of there. Oh, he
would have been fine, sure, But he called nine one one,
and the cops like, oh now we got to go
out and deal with this.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I mean, I could see why he'd call nine one one.
He's trapped on railroad tracks and he probably just panics,
like you want to call like in the in the cavalry.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But that's like a cartoon. It's like, you know, like
bugs bunny.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
You know, did you know that triple as sometimes allowed
are allowed to like make those calls to nine one
one and they see that they were involved in a
hit and run or they're a little bit under the influence.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, I think you can shake. I think you can
throw money at that.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Though, well, where is Michael Jordan's son gonna get money too?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah, he made it. Just look, I don't know why
he's not in a cab or uber or lived. You know,
let's continue here.
Speaker 12 (28:34):
We didn't begin tonight with Channel Nights Ashon Webb, who
is live from the intersection, and maybe.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
We've got three people reporting on this, and it's got
to be a Chicago Is this a Chicago Channel nine
in Chicago?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I think it is where he was arrested.
Speaker 12 (28:45):
Ashland police say he got stuck right there on the
SunRail track.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Yeah, and we're actually off of a dirt road right now.
You can see where that ditch is left behind where
you can see Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son got stuck.
He somehow managed to get on top of the sun
Rail tracks here.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Officers say when he.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Got stuck on the tracks, he tried to back out
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
That's why you see that ditch here.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
The report says there were rocks piled around the front
bumper of is Lamborghini, damaging the pool.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
He's driving a Lambo. Wow, man, what a life this
guy's got going right, He's not having it, doesn't have
to do you know anything. He's driving Lamborghini, he's got
coke on him, he's buzzed, and he's just leaving a
strip bar man talking about getting a golden ticket where
MJ's dad.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Sounds to me like MJ is feeling guilty. Otherwise, why
would he throw all that stuff at his son.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I don't know, I mean, really, I don't know. Maybe
he didn't spend enough time with the kids he's traveling.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Maybe the kid made it all on his own. You know,
maybe we're all wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But that's possible. That's posible. Lamborghini damaging the car.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Now we're learning about what led up to this run
it with law enforcement. This dash can video shows a
Seminal County deputy trying to pull over Mark Jordan in
his blue Lamborghini as he was driving down seventeen ninety
two in Maitland Tuesday morning, swerving and then taking off
once the deputy turned on his sirens.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
He's gone west on Greenwood Drive.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
It was less than twenty minutes before he got stuck
on these SunRail tracks.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh so he's being for shoe pursue. He is bush
already called the cops. He hasn't called nine to one one.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Oh no.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Now we're learning more about Jordan's night out on the town.
The report says he told Maitland officers he had just
left Rachel's Gentleman's Club in Castleberry.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh what a place that is? Huh?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Is that one of your places? I got to tell you.
I think he's having a lot more fun than I
ever had.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Yeah, Rachel's Gentleman's Club in Castleberry.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I love the term gentlemen's club. It sounds so elite
and upscale. Rachel doesn't sound like a schipper's name.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You're right, Rachel. It should be destiny or some sounds
like like a kindergarten teacher. Miss Rachel.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Rachel's Gentleman's Club in Castleberry, about a mile from the
Sun Rail tracks. He also went to a few venues
in winter Park, but when asked about how many.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Aw gentlemen's clubs and venues is what he was hitting.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
But when asked about how many drinks he had, he
couldn't say, but said he was not over the legal limit.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Two. Two is the answer. Oh is that right? Two?
Speaker 5 (31:15):
When asked from a scale zero, two.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Shot and a beer, didn't even finish the beer. That's
the answer.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
When asked from a scale zero to ten, how intoxicated
he was, with zero being sober, he said three.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
This was his officers saying, can you give me the
that's a good answer. That's a good scale. Again zero
is yeah, he said three. Yeah, the scales one to ten.
But he said three. Three, that's a good answer. That's
good answer. They should have got their car and split
and it was fine.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
This was his officers say. He reeked of alcohol, was
slurring his speech, his eyes bloodshot, and he was confused
about where he was. The report says he insisted he
could drive, and that he made the wrong turn and
just needed help getting off the tracks. This his officers
say a SunRail train was about ten minutes away.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Ooh, that could have been tough.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
The report says he refused to get in the patrol
car until officers answered a question why he was quote
getting treated like a criminal, like he was doing something wrong.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Okay, we'll come back and finish up with this. Michael
Jordan's kid got popped for.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
A dui, takes the cops on a twenty minute joy ride.
Then he wants to know, Hey, how come you guys
are being so tough.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
On and the train's ten minutes away. Ah, that's a
rough nightma the drama rough night man. All Right, we're
