Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I Am sixty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is The Conway Show. All right, Ding dong.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
We've got a lot of rain coming in, a ton
of rain coming in. They say it's gonna be one
of the biggest storms to hit Southern California all year.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's gonna be the biggest.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
We haven't had really big storms if you've been living
here for you know, the entire year, we have not
had any major storms. This one's gonna be big. Thursday
is gonna be raining all day, all day, and so
you got to be prepared for it.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You know, you have to.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
You have to be in storm preparedness because if not,
you can get wiped out. Three inches of rain for
most of southern California. That's a huge deal. So get prepared.
Get prepared, everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
And ensuring this.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Is the mayor, Mayor Karen Bass everything.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
And ensuring we have systems in place to capture polluted
runoff before it flows into the ocean, so our city
departments are on high alert.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Who's listening right now that believes this.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
And ensuring we have systems in place to capture polluted
runoff before it flows into the ocean.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Does anybody listening right now think the city's prepared to
capture all of the waste before it gets in the ocean.
Is there any single person that lives in La that
believes that that we're all set, we're all prepared, we
get everything under under control, and there's gonna be no
pollution getting into the ocean. Is there anybody? Not a
(01:40):
single person in La believes this. I don't even think
the mayor believes it, but yet she has to say it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I guess to capture polluted runoff before it flows into
the ocean.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's going to the ocean, so.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Our city departments are on high alert.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Okay, all right, well that's great. I don't know what
that's going to do, but well I'm also on high alert.
Everyone's on.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That doesn't mean anything, you know, Hey, we're on high alert.
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well what's going on a lot of the craps going
from the Palisades a Maliboun into the ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Okay, how's your high alert going?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Pretty good?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was that angel?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
To me?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
I think it does mean something with her saying she's
on high alert. I think it means that she listens
to your show.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Oh maybe, okay, And that's possible to capture because.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I stole that from the Middle.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
There was a there's a great show called The Middle
and it was it was on ABC within you know,
maybe ten years ago or so, maybe fifteen years ago.
And Frankie was the wife, Michael was the husband, and
she said that she didn't want anything for Mother's Day.
She wanted nothing for Mother's Day. No plans, no gifts,
(02:51):
no cards, nothing, She just didn't want to celebrate Mother's Day.
She's happy with her family. And Mike turns around and
goes so he goes, man, he goes, I'm just stay
on high alert.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I know how this shakes down.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh yeah, oh no, no, I don't want That happened
to a buddy of mine, a guy named Malibu Dan
and his lovely wife Sarah were living in Hollywood and
this is this is twenty five years ago or so,
and they agreed no Valentine's Day gifts. You know, it's
a corporate holiday, and you got to go out and
(03:25):
spend more money on roses and there than they are
for the rest of the year, more money on dinner
than typical restaurants. You know, typical menu prices. It's just
a way to gouge people for Valentine's Day. And so
they agreed no Valentine's gifts. You know, I'm just gonna
make it another day, just another regular day. So around
eight o'clock at night, Sarah says to my buddy Malabud.
(03:50):
She goes, I know we agreed on no gifts, but
do you even like, is there even like a card
for me that you picked up? And he's like, ohs
and he throws pants on into running down Hollywood Boulevard
looking for a cart store that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, hey, buddy, those shoes on, no shirt? Hey buddy,
can I get a card?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Buddy?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I know, look for a card for Sarah, buddy, if
love me one, buddy, I need a card, buddy. But
so I'm gonna stay on high alert too, and I
hope the city's on high alert.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Before it flows into the ocean.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
So our city departments are on high alert. Great, and
our general managers are standing behind me here.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Great. They should be on the coast.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
The fire department will pre deploy resources and sandbags will
be available at fire station so you can go to
lacity dot gov to identify which fire station. The Bureau
of Sanitation has activated its wet weather plan.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Wow, that's something else, right, the wet weather plan.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
The Bureau of Sanitation has activated its wet weather plan.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I wonder what a wet weather plan is? Never heard
of that before.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Wet weather plan putting trucks, generators, and other equipment at
the ready, and the DWP is putting crews on standby
to respond citywide to any outages.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay, all this preparedness is just because she got caught
in Africa during the last balls up here in La.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
So please look for urgent alerts that might be sent
to you via text, email and phone through notify La
dot org and you can wait a minute through notify
La dot org.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Notify La dot org.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Through notify La dot org, and you can sign up
for these alerts at notify la dot org. So I
want to highlight two milestones.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Important milestone, Okay, birthday anniversary.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Somebody graduated in the.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Recovery and rebuilding process.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
So the DWP has restored nearly all electricity to nearly
all of the standing homes in the Palisades, and crews
will continue to complete more complex temporary repairs and will
continue connecting individual customers to circuits that have been restored.
So the electricity is back on.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Water is going to take a little longer.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And especially wait, these people are still out of water.
There's still no water in that area. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
That's crazy, and especially because of the rains.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So the second milestone that you are aware of is
that the phase two of the Redirie removal was anticipated
to be many many months away.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Wait, I'm sorry, what was that?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Of the Redirie removal was anticipated to be many many
months away?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But I am proud to.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
See what's going on the freeway here. There's an accident
on the four or five. Let's shut on channel seven
and see what's going on here. One dead, multiple car
accident on the four to five. Angel, Are you aware
of this accident on the four to five? And where
it is?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The thing? You on top of it?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Now?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Let me, I mean, I've got a couple of crashes
on the four h five, So let me just see it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Check it out. But pop back in when you get it,
you know, just give us a high alert. We'll put
your back on.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Okay, of the Redrie removal was anticipated to be many
many months away, but I am proud to say that
this is beginning now. So private property debris removal will
begin in the Palisades this week and this is record time,
the fastest in modern California history.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
But we do have a challenge.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
In order for the Army Corps of Engineers to remove
the debris on your property, you.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Have we got to stick it in the ocean. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
In order for the Army Corps of Engineers to remove
the debris on your property, you have to either opt
in or opt out. So far, two thousand, four hundred
individuals have opted in, seventy eight have opted out.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That leaves one thousand.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Six hundred and ninety eight homes that need to either
opt in or opt out, and we really want to
encourage people to do this.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
That will help phase two.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
The other thing that will help Phase two is if
neighbors organize together and if entire blocks can submit their form.
When the Army Corps of Engineers goes out, they can
clear an entire area instead of going house by house.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So this is an unprecedented.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Disaster recovery effort, and my number one objective is always
to do everything possible to make sure that families can
rebuild their homes and their lives as quickly and as
safely as possible. So this accelerated timeline emphasizes what happens
when the local, state, and federal government are all coordinated
(08:48):
and responding together, we'll be able to cut through bureaucracy
and working together on behalf of the people of the Palisades.
So once again, we need one thousand, six hundred and
ninety eight families to either opt in or opt.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Out, all right, So it's your duty now to opt
in or opt out. And then, as Maripath said, you've
got to go to you around to your neighborhood and
get everybody on the same page so they can clean
up an entire block all at the same time.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
So the Sanitation Department's wet weather plan, I think looks
like it's been around for about eight years now, and
it's basically it's not something that's taking place apparently right now.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They do it every year.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
They say, right to prepare for the rainy season that
they consider October fifteenth through April fifteenth. It's basically cleaning
out all the forty thousand catch basins in La the
seventy debris basins in the city and then drainage channels
to allow storm.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Water to flow properly. That's basically with much good information.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Though right on top of it, I guess the DWP
guys deserve an outa boy, man, those guys, they've been
working twenty four hours a day in the eating area
and the or not the eating area, the Palisades area
in Malibu, and then I think it's cal Edison or
wherever's working in eating area.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Those guys working twenty four hours a day. What is
that angel? Where's crash?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
So this crash happened this morning and it was on
the South four oh five. They did have all lanes closed,
but this was hours ago, so all lanes aren't open.
It was in the Sherman Oaks area, close to the
one oh one. But it was an early morning crash
and it's wrapped up now.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
All right. And somebody died in that crash.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Yeah, it was a fatal due to a wrong way driver.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh my god, it's just an awful, just.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
An awful, awful, tragic crash.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I've been telling people, you can stop these one way drivers,
these wrong way drivers. You know, when you go to
the beach and you go to a parking lot that
you're not supposed to go in, and there's those big
spikes and you drive over them and they pop all
four tires. You can put one of those on the
end of every off ramp or on ramp, and so
if somebody gets on going the wrong way, they got
four flat tires and they won't kill anybody. But they
(10:58):
don't want to do that, so screw it. I'll guess
I'll stay on Hilert.
Speaker 9 (11:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
All right, Virgin River? Stephush? What do you know about
Virgin River?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Anything? Not one single nothing? Yeah, you're like me, buddy,
I'm with you, Belly. Do you know anything about Virgin River?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Just what I learned from you? Okay, so very little? Right, Angel?
Do you know anything about Virgin River the place.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Or the show?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Why don't you tell me about which one you know about?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I know about both of them.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What do you deal you know about the show? You
know who Martin Henderson is?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I mean, I don't know actors' names and stuff, but
I would recognize that.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I don't know why I deal with you, guys, Krozer.
What's Virgin River. It's a chick show on Netflix. There
you go.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Guy knows everything about TV. Everything about television. You should
be a television executive. I don't know anything about it.
Angel tried to be as their way through it. Belly
O didn't know anything about it. In stead and Steph says.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
She watched like a few seasons of that show.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Oh you did, Yeah, okay, all right. Well, an American
woman had a long distance relationship with Virgin River star
Martin Henderson for two years. That's kind of a cool deal,
have a long term relationship with a guy who's a
hot actor. Turns out it wasn't the right guy. Yeah,
forty seven year old woman her just let's just call
(12:27):
her Lee. I don't want to give out her last name.
I spoke about the scam on February seventh, she claimed
after posting a fan page for the Netflix show, she
received a message from person claiming that they were Henderson's agent,
this big celebrities agent who put her in contact with
what she thought was the fifty year old actor from
(12:49):
Virgin River, Martin Henderson. Well, they hit it off immediately.
They talked about their favorite foods, common interests, and man,
they were head over heels for each other. That was
kind of a cool deal, but it was all a scam.
The scammer, according to Lee, sent voice messages in Henderson's
AI doctored voice with promises they'd soon be together.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Come December twenty twenty four, Lee allegedly moved to New
Zealand under the pretense that she was going to marry Henderson.
How great is this? This is another TV show called
Crazy River. But here's another quote. He told me he
wanted to leave the acting world and live a quiet
(13:37):
life in New Zealand with me. Whew, man, oh man,
there's a lot of a lot of damaged people out there.
We planned to marry and have three children. He stole
my line. That was my line. I was dating, planned
to I want to get married out three kids. However,
Lee's friend allegedly sent her the Herald article about Henderson's
(14:01):
mission in New Zealand that exposed a couple of discrepancies
in the scammers plan. I thought what Martin was doing
in New Zealand was a bike rally, and he told
me he was in a hospital bed in Johannesburg with
a heart attack.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Boy, So did she actually have any conversations with this
person or were they just exchanging voice messages voice messages.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh my gosh, so Angel, be careful, be careful, Thank you, Timmy.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, it's one of you know.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Sometimes you get head over heels for people, then you
lose that wallet.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Of those messages guys with great hair.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Angel, Angel, Please, I don't want to have to lend
you money again to bail you out. But that point
Lee allegedly already spent. How about this, Okay, let's do
a whip around. How much did this poor woman spend
on this fake Virgin River guy?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Martin Henderson?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
All right, Stepferoni, Tony, you're always life's most interesting guy.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
How much did this.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
This woman spend on on her the love of her life?
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Ten grand ten?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Okay, okay, Belly o U thirty thousand, thirty thousand, Angel.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I just saw it.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Okay, see what is Okay? That's cool? All right, Krozer
one will wrap up? What did what did this.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Woman spend on the Virgin Rivers star? How much did
she give to the fake guy before she discovered it
was not him? One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand. Is
anybody else around?
Speaker 11 (15:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's it Kiki or Ricky or Richie, Maddie.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And all these Jesus, No, the ease aren't here.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
These are out right.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Thompson's quiet when they're not here, isn't it very loud? Folks?
The new generations kind of allowed to know that or not?
All right, Krozer gets it. One hundred thousand dollars was
the closest the actual retail price. This woman spent three
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Yeap, she paid him
(16:08):
ten thousand. The bail out of jail should have been
a red flag right there. But it wasn't five thousand
dollars for a commercial flight back to New Zealand thirty
thousand dollars for a private jet from South Africa. She
should have known that a private jet from South Africa
to New Zealand is not thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
What's the number that you that you consider as the
line between oh, man, that really feel bad for it
and yeah, she's just stupid.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I think I think the I would say ten grand
with that. Yeah, maybe maybe eight, but not not three
seventy five. So she's single now, single and poor. You
should hit her up, are you, know you're like a
don't you, hey, Brad Pitt, you should hit her up?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Steph fuche pits nephew.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But anyway, So she paid thirty thousand dollars for a
private jet from South Africa, She paid fifty six thousand
dollars for fake invoices, twelve thousand dollars in gift cards,
five thousand in bitcoin, and she allegedly bought How about this,
She bought the scammer twenty five MacBooks so he could
(17:30):
set up a business. The guy from Virgin River wanted
twenty five MacBooks so he could set up a business,
and she bought him.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So she's not the.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Only person that's happened to a Brad Pitt Ai impersonator
got eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of a woman.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Oh girls, you got it, you got it? Really straighten up.
I don't hear that much the other way.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I don't hear a lot of guys spending three hundred
and seventy five grand on a woman. And you know
why I don't hear it because a guy would never
admit it. The guy would take the loss and he
would go back and go home.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And never tell anybody. He wouldn't tell me, I'd probably
get screening scammed again.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's like, you know, a lot of guys die with
breast cancer. You know why they don't tell anybody that
their boobs are on fire?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They just don't. They don't.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
They should, they don't, they don't.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
They don't do that. They don't tell.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
They don't tell anybody they got breast cancer because they're embarrassed.
And I think this is a similar situation. I don't
think guys will admit that they got scammed like this,
because you know guys are getting scammed, don't you think,
I mean, don't you think guys are being sent a
picture of a beautiful woman in Australia and they immediately
get on a plane or send a check. I bet
(18:52):
that's happening right now to a guy about They're guys
listening right now and going, oh, I forgot I got
to send this woman a check.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I've never met. It's going on right now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's going on right now.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Like, oh, this guy reminded me I gotta send Mary
a check in Australia. I've never met her, but I
think you wanted ten grand for some O got to
get to the post office. Because guys are dumb. Guys
are just stupid, right, We all do dumb things, but
I think guys do dumber things than women. But now
they're catching up, so that's kind of cool. We're live
on CAFI am six forty, Big Rain on Thursday. Please
(19:23):
don't forget that. I know we have fun on the show.
We laugh, we goof on each other, we make fun
of you know, each other. But don't screw around. You
got a big rain stormer coming up on Thursday. Don't
ignore that.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's Conway Show, Big rain on Thursday, so stay on
high alert.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It's coming.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
It's coming, and you don't want to get wiped out,
so be prepared, Be prepared. All right, Studio City, we're
back with the burglary game. I guess they don't understand
there's a new sheriff in town. New d in Town
is not going to put up with that crap. But
the burglary c crew believed to be targeting these southern
(20:07):
California homes. Well, we're back. Let's find out what's going
on with this crew seems in.
Speaker 12 (20:14):
This case and several others, thieves are targeting large, modern
homes while people are away on vacation. The group typically
consists of three people and a getaway car. And yes,
if you've seen home alone, there is an element here
that might sound familiar to you. Several people in this
neighborhood have said it seems LAPD is stretched thin. Yeah,
they've been preoccupied.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But it's not their fault. It's just that they have
so much space to cover. LAPD has got to cover
from Chatsworth the Sampedro. That's got to be forty miles
or more. And how do you do that?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't know. Ed is stretched thin.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
They've been preoccupied in the fire zones, and burglars might
be taking advantage of this. On January thirty first, just
before nine thirty pm, cameras capture a white Mercedes parked
at the intersection of Clump Avenue and Valley Spring Lane
and Studio City.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I want know where that is. I know where Clump
is in Valley Spring. That's a nice area.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
If you zoom in even closer, you'll see three people
in hoodies exit hop the twelve foot fence of an
upscale rental home.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Here we go.
Speaker 12 (21:15):
Well, a fourth stands guard behind the wheel.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
This is a very close knit, safe community, or has been,
but lately with two robberies on this Farrisham Street, we
all feel very vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, they I don't know how they know you're on vacation.
Maybe a post social media of you and the family
in Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's a giveaway, dead giveaway, man dead giveaway.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
But then again, you want to post on vacation. You
want to show everybody that you know, he made a
couple of bucks. You're treating your family to a nice vacation.
But then someone's going to rob you. So I don't
know what to do. And then if your social media
just goes dark for a week, people go, oh, that
guy's out of town, all right, no social media activity
for a week from that dude.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
These images were taken from Tony Lucente's home.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
This is really a slap in the face to the
community and to the LAPD in my opinion, that they
can do this without any recourse.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
Their next move the band of burglars shatter the glass
door around back to gain entry and seem to leave
with sacks filled with valuables. There's an unusual twist to this, though,
the group left the kitchen faucet running and the refrigerator open,
and what the homeowners believe is a nod to the
Wet Bandits in the nineteen ninety movie Home Alone.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh is that wild?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now they're getting pretty braized and they're leaving the water
running and leaving the fridge open.
Speaker 13 (22:41):
Supposedly, there are a lot of break ins like this
happening right now, all following the same trend of breaking glass,
sliding glass doores on the side of the house, and
turning on the water and ransacking the house when no
one's home.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Ah, that's the worst.
Speaker 12 (22:54):
Less than ten minutes later, they get back into their
get around in a nearby driveway and take off.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I walk down the street every day, whether it's blistering
heat or pouring rain.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
Sandford broke Off says he thinks twice every time he
steps out, even if it's just for a few hours.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
And that that fear, which I didn't have thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
But I'm with this guy.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
We live in Burbank, and I used to, you know,
putts around the house working at night when it cooled
down the summer. And now I'm on high alert. Every
time I open that garage door, I'm looking around. I'm
looking around. I got my head on a swivel. I'm
looking around to see who's gonna wipe me out, Who's
gonna wipe me out out of all the you know work,
(23:38):
I've done the money, I say my family, who's gonna
say screw it to all that and wipe me out?
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Which I didn't have thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I didn't have it either thirty years ago. I got
it now though.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Fear was like, what if somebody smashes my my front
my front windows and takes my dog?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
And it's scary to me?
Speaker 12 (23:57):
It is, It's horrible, and police say they believe this
same group is hitting other parts of Studio City in
North Hollywood so far, though no arrests have been made.
We're live in Studio City tonight. I'm Rachel Menotov.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Rachel Menitov, knocking it out in Studio City City tonight.
I'm Rachel Menotov.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, I think wrong with her? All right, Well, it's back.
Crime is back. It It sort of vanished for a
little while and now it's back. Looting continues as well.
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
We'll come back a lot of people out there don't
want to work. Just once yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
We're live on KFI AM six forty Thursday is the
big rain day.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Can't stress that enough. Please take that seriously.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Rain Thursday. Beware of that. Don't ignore that. Don't ignore
the rain coming in. Maybe three or more inches of rain.
That's a lot. That's a lot, especially because we haven't
had a lot grounds hard. I can absorb a lot
of it, a lot of runoff, a lot of slides.
And take it seriously. That quick dam is available at
(25:07):
home deep Ot. They're not a sponsor, just telling you
that product works.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You put it down.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It weighs maybe a pound or two, and then as
water hits it, it expands and it keeps whatever area
you're trying to protect. It keeps the water up pretty good.
We use them and had a lot of success with them.
Quick Damn. They're about thirty bucks forty bucks, but it's
got to be worth it. If you got that kind
of dough. Protect your house. Speaking protect your house, there's
(25:35):
still looting going on. If you can believe that there
are people out there still taking advantage of folks that
have been burned out of their home, people who have
lost everything, they don't know what to do, and they
go into the neighborhood and people are rummaging through their crap.
It's still going.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
On, but.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
The possibility to cut that off with a lot of punishment,
a lot of threads, of a lot of prison time.
Our message today is simple, individuals who put our firefighters
at risk or prey on communities when they're at their
most vulnerable, must be held accountable. There you go, that's
our new DA and he's going after these cads.
Speaker 14 (26:17):
Local officials coming together to bring forward a bipartisan bill
ABE four sixty nine to keep potential looters away from
disaster zones, protect first responders and the property of people
fleeing their home to safety.
Speaker 15 (26:29):
We owed it to them to make sure that the
remnants of their community would be kept safe as possible.
Speaker 14 (26:36):
The proposed legislation it comes after multiple people were caught
impersonating firefighters and breaking into homes in the aftermath.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Of the and Palisades fires.
Speaker 14 (26:45):
It would make looting a felony if you're caught engaging
that behavior, increasing prison time from the existing one year
penalty to up to four years behind bars.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Four years for looting. That'll scare some people.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
The bill also makes impersonating any first responder during a
disaster an enhanced felony.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
When theft occurs in the disaster zone in a state
of emergency, it needs to be charged appropriately, fairly.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
And it needs to represent the conduct of the crime.
Speaker 14 (27:16):
The bill would also extend into the rebuilding process, ensuring
people and their property remain safe.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
This is not a victimless crime.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
This is about individuals who have left everything behind only
to come back and if their home is still standing,
have it burglarized.
Speaker 12 (27:30):
Now, we did ask how quickly this law would go
into effect, and we're told typically it would go into
effect by next to January.
Speaker 14 (27:37):
That would be the soonest.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Ah, too late, too late. Next January, there'll be homes
that have been rebuilt already.
Speaker 14 (27:43):
But given the circumstances, they are working with the governor
to try and expedite the process. Reporting in downtown Los Angeles,
money got they on that.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
ABC seven eyewitness use a great job.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
On that.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
ABC seven eyewitness use Yes, that is great, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
When we got at the top of the hour, at
five o'clock. We got a very funny man coming on
with this guy named Brian Reagan. If you've not seen
him in concert, make it a point to go see
him while he's here. He's going to be in California.
I'm the fifteenth, sixteenth, twenty seven, twenty eighth and March first.
(28:19):
We'll tell you where when he comes on. But he's
a very very funny man. We've had him on the
show for many, many, many years, and he works very clean,
which is difficult to do in comedy. And he's he's great.
His brother's very funny too, So he was telling you.
He was telling his story last time he was on.
(28:41):
There's six kids in his family. Two of the kids
became teachers, two became doctors or lawyers, and two became comedians.
Kind of odd, right, but a very very funny man.
He's telling us a story. He moved to Las Vegas
and he was unaware that Las Vegas had a water shortage,
(29:03):
completely unaware, you know, one of these idiots from La
like me, moves to Las Vegas. The first thing he does,
he rolls out a slipping slide on the front yard
for his kids, and he couldn't understand why everybody was
crossing their arms and staring at him. Hey, who's the
guy with the slipping slide on his lawn. That's Brian Reagan.
(29:26):
And the whole run he does on going to an
emergency room is so great, very funny man. And so
we're gonna have him on at the top of the
hour at five o'clock. Very nice of him to come
back with us or a funny dude, all right. The
Genesis Invitational happening in Tory Pines usually happens here in
a Pacific Palisades area right off of Sunset at the Riviera,
(29:49):
but they moved it because of the fires, and Tiger
Woods is not going to be in it because the
death of his mom. So and hopefully they don't get
rained out, but looks like they're gonna rain as well.
And typically a golf tournament goes Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
eighteen on Thursday eighteen, on Friday eighteen on Saturday, and
then the same a mount on Sunday, first seventy two
(30:13):
hole total, and Tiger Woods is not going to be
playing in it. And that's his tournament. It's named after him,
The Genesis Tiger Woods Invitational.
Speaker 15 (30:22):
When officials saw the state of Pacific Palisades following the
fires and all the resources needed there, it was San
Diego that quickly stepped up to host the Genesis Invitational.
But everywhere you look at this tournament, fire rebuilding and
relief efforts are on display. Although the twenty twenty five
Genesis Invitational golf tournament, which kicks off Thursday, will be
(30:44):
played at Tory Pines in San Diego instead of Riva
or a country club, and Pacific Palisades fire relief efforts
are top of my golfers.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Born and raised in Los Angeles.
Speaker 11 (30:54):
I've been to the area so much, and I have
family there and tons of friends there, and I've driven
those streets and when I turn on the news, I
knew exactly where they were. It was felt, I don't know,
it just hit me harder. I'm very, very proud to
be from Los Angeles and I am looking forward to
(31:14):
being a part of and continuing to watch the city
rebuild and everyone come together.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
A lot of communities that are in need, a lot
of people and families that are in need, and just
to kind of do a little bit of support and
just create awareness.
Speaker 15 (31:26):
Genesis will donate eight million dollars to their initiative, California
Rises by giving one hundred of their vehicles used during
the tournament to groups supporting the fire relief efforts and
families who may have lost their car in the fires.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
How about that about Genesis stepping up.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Genesis will donate eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Eight million dollars. She may have lost there, that's great,
Jennis is eight million dollars.
Speaker 15 (31:50):
Also, for every birdie and eagle made during the tournament,
the company will donate three hundred dollars. And if there's
a hole in one, ten thousand dollars hol in wand
that's great.
Speaker 16 (32:02):
All ticketing fees for tickets purchased with the Genesis Invitational
will be donated to California Rises. Then when you get
on site, you can go into the golf shop, into
the merchandise ten Rises merchandise. One hundred percent of the
proceeds will benefit the California Rises initiative. You can go
to the Genesis Lounge behind the ninety. You can write
(32:22):
a postcard to a first responder.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Had a lot to do. You can do everything you
do everything merchandise. You can write a postcard and drive
around one of those cards.
Speaker 16 (32:31):
You can go to the Genesis Lounge behind the ninety
you can write a postcard to a first responder.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
Golf fans from Los Angeles are encouraged to attend the
tournament not just to see the best golfers in the world,
but to celebrate the resiliency of those in Pacific Palace
Stats and Alta Dina.
Speaker 17 (32:47):
We really love our neighbors, our fans that have supported
that tournament for so many years.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
They've come out.
Speaker 17 (32:53):
And roves and supported that. We feel for them. We
know a lot of them are affected by the fires.
Our prayers are with them. We're going to do everything
we can to support the communities in the greater LA
area toward that effect. And ideally we'll be back at
Rivera next year.
Speaker 15 (33:10):
And the Genesis Invitationals, of course hosted by Tiger Woods,
who will not be playing because of the recent passing
of his mother, but we're told that Woods may make
an appearance here later in the week Live in San Diego.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Josh Haskell, ABC seven.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Josh Haskell, and it's a.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Great reporter that Josh Haskell like that dude, all right,
when we come back, Brian Reagan is going to be
with us. Very funny man. And he's got one, two, three, four, five,
at least five dates coming up in California that you
can go see him and we'll talk about where those
are when we return. Don't forget Thursday, big ass rainstorm.
(33:53):
Be aware of that. Pass the word around on social media,
Pass the word around to friends and family. There is
going to be a big one. Gotta be prepared. We're
live 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
(34:17):
app
It's k IF I Am sixty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is The Conway Show. All right, Ding dong.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
We've got a lot of rain coming in, a ton
of rain coming in. They say it's gonna be one
of the biggest storms to hit Southern California all year.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's gonna be the biggest.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
We haven't had really big storms if you've been living
here for you know, the entire year, we have not
had any major storms. This one's gonna be big. Thursday
is gonna be raining all day, all day, and so
you got to be prepared for it.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You know, you have to.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
You have to be in storm preparedness because if not,
you can get wiped out. Three inches of rain for
most of southern California. That's a huge deal. So get prepared.
Get prepared, everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
And ensuring this.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Is the mayor, Mayor Karen Bass everything.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
And ensuring we have systems in place to capture polluted
runoff before it flows into the ocean, so our city
departments are on high alert.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Who's listening right now that believes this.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
And ensuring we have systems in place to capture polluted
runoff before it flows into the ocean.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Does anybody listening right now think the city's prepared to
capture all of the waste before it gets in the ocean.
Is there any single person that lives in La that
believes that that we're all set, we're all prepared, we
get everything under under control, and there's gonna be no
pollution getting into the ocean. Is there anybody? Not a
(01:40):
single person in La believes this. I don't even think
the mayor believes it, but yet she has to say it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I guess to capture polluted runoff before it flows into
the ocean.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's going to the ocean, so.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Our city departments are on high alert.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Okay, all right, well that's great. I don't know what
that's going to do, but well I'm also on high alert.
Everyone's on.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That doesn't mean anything, you know, Hey, we're on high alert.
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well what's going on a lot of the craps going
from the Palisades a Maliboun into the ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Okay, how's your high alert going?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Pretty good?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was that angel?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
To me?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
I think it does mean something with her saying she's
on high alert. I think it means that she listens
to your show.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Oh maybe, okay, And that's possible to capture because.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I stole that from the Middle.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
There was a there's a great show called The Middle
and it was it was on ABC within you know,
maybe ten years ago or so, maybe fifteen years ago.
And Frankie was the wife, Michael was the husband, and
she said that she didn't want anything for Mother's Day.
She wanted nothing for Mother's Day. No plans, no gifts,
(02:51):
no cards, nothing, She just didn't want to celebrate Mother's Day.
She's happy with her family. And Mike turns around and
goes so he goes, man, he goes, I'm just stay
on high alert.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I know how this shakes down.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh yeah, oh no, no, I don't want That happened
to a buddy of mine, a guy named Malibu Dan
and his lovely wife Sarah were living in Hollywood and
this is this is twenty five years ago or so,
and they agreed no Valentine's Day gifts. You know, it's
a corporate holiday, and you got to go out and
(03:25):
spend more money on roses and there than they are
for the rest of the year, more money on dinner
than typical restaurants. You know, typical menu prices. It's just
a way to gouge people for Valentine's Day. And so
they agreed no Valentine's gifts. You know, I'm just gonna
make it another day, just another regular day. So around
eight o'clock at night, Sarah says to my buddy Malabud.
(03:50):
She goes, I know we agreed on no gifts, but
do you even like, is there even like a card
for me that you picked up? And he's like, ohs
and he throws pants on into running down Hollywood Boulevard
looking for a cart store that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, hey, buddy, those shoes on, no shirt? Hey buddy,
can I get a card?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Buddy?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I know, look for a card for Sarah, buddy, if
love me one, buddy, I need a card, buddy. But
so I'm gonna stay on high alert too, and I
hope the city's on high alert.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Before it flows into the ocean.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
So our city departments are on high alert. Great, and
our general managers are standing behind me here.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Great. They should be on the coast.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
The fire department will pre deploy resources and sandbags will
be available at fire station so you can go to
lacity dot gov to identify which fire station. The Bureau
of Sanitation has activated its wet weather plan.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Wow, that's something else, right, the wet weather plan.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
The Bureau of Sanitation has activated its wet weather plan.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I wonder what a wet weather plan is? Never heard
of that before.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Wet weather plan putting trucks, generators, and other equipment at
the ready, and the DWP is putting crews on standby
to respond citywide to any outages.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay, all this preparedness is just because she got caught
in Africa during the last balls up here in La.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
So please look for urgent alerts that might be sent
to you via text, email and phone through notify La
dot org and you can wait a minute through notify
La dot org.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Notify La dot org.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Through notify La dot org, and you can sign up
for these alerts at notify la dot org. So I
want to highlight two milestones.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Important milestone, Okay, birthday anniversary.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Somebody graduated in the.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Recovery and rebuilding process.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
So the DWP has restored nearly all electricity to nearly
all of the standing homes in the Palisades, and crews
will continue to complete more complex temporary repairs and will
continue connecting individual customers to circuits that have been restored.
So the electricity is back on.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Water is going to take a little longer.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And especially wait, these people are still out of water.
There's still no water in that area. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
That's crazy, and especially because of the rains.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So the second milestone that you are aware of is
that the phase two of the Redirie removal was anticipated
to be many many months away.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Wait, I'm sorry, what was that?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Of the Redirie removal was anticipated to be many many
months away?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But I am proud to.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
See what's going on the freeway here. There's an accident
on the four or five. Let's shut on channel seven
and see what's going on here. One dead, multiple car
accident on the four to five. Angel, Are you aware
of this accident on the four to five? And where
it is?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The thing? You on top of it?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Now?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Let me, I mean, I've got a couple of crashes
on the four h five, So let me just see it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Check it out. But pop back in when you get it,
you know, just give us a high alert. We'll put
your back on.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Okay, of the Redrie removal was anticipated to be many
many months away, but I am proud to say that
this is beginning now. So private property debris removal will
begin in the Palisades this week and this is record time,
the fastest in modern California history.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
But we do have a challenge.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
In order for the Army Corps of Engineers to remove
the debris on your property, you.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Have we got to stick it in the ocean. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
In order for the Army Corps of Engineers to remove
the debris on your property, you have to either opt
in or opt out. So far, two thousand, four hundred
individuals have opted in, seventy eight have opted out.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That leaves one thousand.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Six hundred and ninety eight homes that need to either
opt in or opt out, and we really want to
encourage people to do this.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
That will help phase two.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
The other thing that will help Phase two is if
neighbors organize together and if entire blocks can submit their form.
When the Army Corps of Engineers goes out, they can
clear an entire area instead of going house by house.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So this is an unprecedented.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Disaster recovery effort, and my number one objective is always
to do everything possible to make sure that families can
rebuild their homes and their lives as quickly and as
safely as possible. So this accelerated timeline emphasizes what happens
when the local, state, and federal government are all coordinated
(08:48):
and responding together, we'll be able to cut through bureaucracy
and working together on behalf of the people of the Palisades.
So once again, we need one thousand, six hundred and
ninety eight families to either opt in or opt.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Out, all right, So it's your duty now to opt
in or opt out. And then, as Maripath said, you've
got to go to you around to your neighborhood and
get everybody on the same page so they can clean
up an entire block all at the same time.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
So the Sanitation Department's wet weather plan, I think looks
like it's been around for about eight years now, and
it's basically it's not something that's taking place apparently right now.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They do it every year.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
They say, right to prepare for the rainy season that
they consider October fifteenth through April fifteenth. It's basically cleaning
out all the forty thousand catch basins in La the
seventy debris basins in the city and then drainage channels
to allow storm.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Water to flow properly. That's basically with much good information.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Though right on top of it, I guess the DWP
guys deserve an outa boy, man, those guys, they've been
working twenty four hours a day in the eating area
and the or not the eating area, the Palisades area
in Malibu, and then I think it's cal Edison or
wherever's working in eating area.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Those guys working twenty four hours a day. What is
that angel? Where's crash?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
So this crash happened this morning and it was on
the South four oh five. They did have all lanes closed,
but this was hours ago, so all lanes aren't open.
It was in the Sherman Oaks area, close to the
one oh one. But it was an early morning crash
and it's wrapped up now.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
All right. And somebody died in that crash.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Yeah, it was a fatal due to a wrong way driver.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh my god, it's just an awful, just.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
An awful, awful, tragic crash.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I've been telling people, you can stop these one way drivers,
these wrong way drivers. You know, when you go to
the beach and you go to a parking lot that
you're not supposed to go in, and there's those big
spikes and you drive over them and they pop all
four tires. You can put one of those on the
end of every off ramp or on ramp, and so
if somebody gets on going the wrong way, they got
four flat tires and they won't kill anybody. But they
(10:58):
don't want to do that, so screw it. I'll guess
I'll stay on Hilert.
Speaker 9 (11:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
All right, Virgin River? Stephush? What do you know about
Virgin River?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Anything? Not one single nothing? Yeah, you're like me, buddy,
I'm with you, Belly. Do you know anything about Virgin River?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Just what I learned from you? Okay, so very little? Right, Angel?
Do you know anything about Virgin River the place.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Or the show?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Why don't you tell me about which one you know about?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I know about both of them.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What do you deal you know about the show? You
know who Martin Henderson is?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I mean, I don't know actors' names and stuff, but
I would recognize that.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I don't know why I deal with you, guys, Krozer.
What's Virgin River. It's a chick show on Netflix. There
you go.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Guy knows everything about TV. Everything about television. You should
be a television executive. I don't know anything about it.
Angel tried to be as their way through it. Belly
O didn't know anything about it. In stead and Steph says.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
She watched like a few seasons of that show.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Oh you did, Yeah, okay, all right. Well, an American
woman had a long distance relationship with Virgin River star
Martin Henderson for two years. That's kind of a cool deal,
have a long term relationship with a guy who's a
hot actor. Turns out it wasn't the right guy. Yeah,
forty seven year old woman her just let's just call
(12:27):
her Lee. I don't want to give out her last name.
I spoke about the scam on February seventh, she claimed
after posting a fan page for the Netflix show, she
received a message from person claiming that they were Henderson's agent,
this big celebrities agent who put her in contact with
what she thought was the fifty year old actor from
(12:49):
Virgin River, Martin Henderson. Well, they hit it off immediately.
They talked about their favorite foods, common interests, and man,
they were head over heels for each other. That was
kind of a cool deal, but it was all a scam.
The scammer, according to Lee, sent voice messages in Henderson's
AI doctored voice with promises they'd soon be together.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Come December twenty twenty four, Lee allegedly moved to New
Zealand under the pretense that she was going to marry Henderson.
How great is this? This is another TV show called
Crazy River. But here's another quote. He told me he
wanted to leave the acting world and live a quiet
(13:37):
life in New Zealand with me. Whew, man, oh man,
there's a lot of a lot of damaged people out there.
We planned to marry and have three children. He stole
my line. That was my line. I was dating, planned
to I want to get married out three kids. However,
Lee's friend allegedly sent her the Herald article about Henderson's
(14:01):
mission in New Zealand that exposed a couple of discrepancies
in the scammers plan. I thought what Martin was doing
in New Zealand was a bike rally, and he told
me he was in a hospital bed in Johannesburg with
a heart attack.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Boy, So did she actually have any conversations with this
person or were they just exchanging voice messages voice messages.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh my gosh, so Angel, be careful, be careful, Thank you, Timmy.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, it's one of you know.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Sometimes you get head over heels for people, then you
lose that wallet.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Of those messages guys with great hair.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Angel, Angel, Please, I don't want to have to lend
you money again to bail you out. But that point
Lee allegedly already spent. How about this, Okay, let's do
a whip around. How much did this poor woman spend
on this fake Virgin River guy?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Martin Henderson?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
All right, Stepferoni, Tony, you're always life's most interesting guy.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
How much did this.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
This woman spend on on her the love of her life?
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Ten grand ten?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Okay, okay, Belly o U thirty thousand, thirty thousand, Angel.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I just saw it.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Okay, see what is Okay? That's cool? All right, Krozer
one will wrap up? What did what did this.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Woman spend on the Virgin Rivers star? How much did
she give to the fake guy before she discovered it
was not him? One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand. Is
anybody else around?
Speaker 11 (15:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's it Kiki or Ricky or Richie, Maddie.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And all these Jesus, No, the ease aren't here.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
These are out right.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Thompson's quiet when they're not here, isn't it very loud? Folks?
The new generations kind of allowed to know that or not?
All right, Krozer gets it. One hundred thousand dollars was
the closest the actual retail price. This woman spent three
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Yeap, she paid him
(16:08):
ten thousand. The bail out of jail should have been
a red flag right there. But it wasn't five thousand
dollars for a commercial flight back to New Zealand thirty
thousand dollars for a private jet from South Africa. She
should have known that a private jet from South Africa
to New Zealand is not thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
What's the number that you that you consider as the
line between oh, man, that really feel bad for it
and yeah, she's just stupid.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I think I think the I would say ten grand
with that. Yeah, maybe maybe eight, but not not three
seventy five. So she's single now, single and poor. You
should hit her up, are you, know you're like a
don't you, hey, Brad Pitt, you should hit her up?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Steph fuche pits nephew.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But anyway, So she paid thirty thousand dollars for a
private jet from South Africa, She paid fifty six thousand
dollars for fake invoices, twelve thousand dollars in gift cards,
five thousand in bitcoin, and she allegedly bought How about this,
She bought the scammer twenty five MacBooks so he could
(17:30):
set up a business. The guy from Virgin River wanted
twenty five MacBooks so he could set up a business,
and she bought him.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So she's not the.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Only person that's happened to a Brad Pitt Ai impersonator
got eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of a woman.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Oh girls, you got it, you got it? Really straighten up.
I don't hear that much the other way.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I don't hear a lot of guys spending three hundred
and seventy five grand on a woman. And you know
why I don't hear it because a guy would never
admit it. The guy would take the loss and he
would go back and go home.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And never tell anybody. He wouldn't tell me, I'd probably
get screening scammed again.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's like, you know, a lot of guys die with
breast cancer. You know why they don't tell anybody that
their boobs are on fire?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They just don't. They don't.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
They should, they don't, they don't.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
They don't do that. They don't tell.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
They don't tell anybody they got breast cancer because they're embarrassed.
And I think this is a similar situation. I don't
think guys will admit that they got scammed like this,
because you know guys are getting scammed, don't you think,
I mean, don't you think guys are being sent a
picture of a beautiful woman in Australia and they immediately
get on a plane or send a check. I bet
(18:52):
that's happening right now to a guy about They're guys
listening right now and going, oh, I forgot I got
to send this woman a check.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I've never met. It's going on right now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's going on right now.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Like, oh, this guy reminded me I gotta send Mary
a check in Australia. I've never met her, but I
think you wanted ten grand for some O got to
get to the post office. Because guys are dumb. Guys
are just stupid, right, We all do dumb things, but
I think guys do dumber things than women. But now
they're catching up, so that's kind of cool. We're live
on CAFI am six forty, Big Rain on Thursday. Please
(19:23):
don't forget that. I know we have fun on the show.
We laugh, we goof on each other, we make fun
of you know, each other. But don't screw around. You
got a big rain stormer coming up on Thursday. Don't
ignore that.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's Conway Show, Big rain on Thursday, so stay on
high alert.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It's coming.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
It's coming, and you don't want to get wiped out,
so be prepared, Be prepared. All right, Studio City, we're
back with the burglary game. I guess they don't understand
there's a new sheriff in town. New d in Town
is not going to put up with that crap. But
the burglary c crew believed to be targeting these southern
(20:07):
California homes. Well, we're back. Let's find out what's going
on with this crew seems in.
Speaker 12 (20:14):
This case and several others, thieves are targeting large, modern
homes while people are away on vacation. The group typically
consists of three people and a getaway car. And yes,
if you've seen home alone, there is an element here
that might sound familiar to you. Several people in this
neighborhood have said it seems LAPD is stretched thin. Yeah,
they've been preoccupied.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But it's not their fault. It's just that they have
so much space to cover. LAPD has got to cover
from Chatsworth the Sampedro. That's got to be forty miles
or more. And how do you do that?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't know. Ed is stretched thin.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
They've been preoccupied in the fire zones, and burglars might
be taking advantage of this. On January thirty first, just
before nine thirty pm, cameras capture a white Mercedes parked
at the intersection of Clump Avenue and Valley Spring Lane
and Studio City.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I want know where that is. I know where Clump
is in Valley Spring. That's a nice area.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
If you zoom in even closer, you'll see three people
in hoodies exit hop the twelve foot fence of an
upscale rental home.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Here we go.
Speaker 12 (21:15):
Well, a fourth stands guard behind the wheel.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
This is a very close knit, safe community, or has been,
but lately with two robberies on this Farrisham Street, we
all feel very vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, they I don't know how they know you're on vacation.
Maybe a post social media of you and the family
in Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's a giveaway, dead giveaway, man dead giveaway.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
But then again, you want to post on vacation. You
want to show everybody that you know, he made a
couple of bucks. You're treating your family to a nice vacation.
But then someone's going to rob you. So I don't
know what to do. And then if your social media
just goes dark for a week, people go, oh, that
guy's out of town, all right, no social media activity
for a week from that dude.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
These images were taken from Tony Lucente's home.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
This is really a slap in the face to the
community and to the LAPD in my opinion, that they
can do this without any recourse.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
Their next move the band of burglars shatter the glass
door around back to gain entry and seem to leave
with sacks filled with valuables. There's an unusual twist to this, though,
the group left the kitchen faucet running and the refrigerator open,
and what the homeowners believe is a nod to the
Wet Bandits in the nineteen ninety movie Home Alone.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh is that wild?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now they're getting pretty braized and they're leaving the water
running and leaving the fridge open.
Speaker 13 (22:41):
Supposedly, there are a lot of break ins like this
happening right now, all following the same trend of breaking glass,
sliding glass doores on the side of the house, and
turning on the water and ransacking the house when no
one's home.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Ah, that's the worst.
Speaker 12 (22:54):
Less than ten minutes later, they get back into their
get around in a nearby driveway and take off.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I walk down the street every day, whether it's blistering
heat or pouring rain.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
Sandford broke Off says he thinks twice every time he
steps out, even if it's just for a few hours.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
And that that fear, which I didn't have thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
But I'm with this guy.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
We live in Burbank, and I used to, you know,
putts around the house working at night when it cooled
down the summer. And now I'm on high alert. Every
time I open that garage door, I'm looking around. I'm
looking around. I got my head on a swivel. I'm
looking around to see who's gonna wipe me out, Who's
gonna wipe me out out of all the you know work,
(23:38):
I've done the money, I say my family, who's gonna
say screw it to all that and wipe me out?
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Which I didn't have thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I didn't have it either thirty years ago. I got
it now though.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Fear was like, what if somebody smashes my my front
my front windows and takes my dog?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
And it's scary to me?
Speaker 12 (23:57):
It is, It's horrible, and police say they believe this
same group is hitting other parts of Studio City in
North Hollywood so far, though no arrests have been made.
We're live in Studio City tonight. I'm Rachel Menotov.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Rachel Menitov, knocking it out in Studio City City tonight.
I'm Rachel Menotov.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, I think wrong with her? All right, Well, it's back.
Crime is back. It It sort of vanished for a
little while and now it's back. Looting continues as well.
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
We'll come back a lot of people out there don't
want to work. Just once yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
We're live on KFI AM six forty Thursday is the
big rain day.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Can't stress that enough. Please take that seriously.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Rain Thursday. Beware of that. Don't ignore that. Don't ignore
the rain coming in. Maybe three or more inches of rain.
That's a lot. That's a lot, especially because we haven't
had a lot grounds hard. I can absorb a lot
of it, a lot of runoff, a lot of slides.
And take it seriously. That quick dam is available at
(25:07):
home deep Ot. They're not a sponsor, just telling you
that product works.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You put it down.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It weighs maybe a pound or two, and then as
water hits it, it expands and it keeps whatever area
you're trying to protect. It keeps the water up pretty good.
We use them and had a lot of success with them.
Quick Damn. They're about thirty bucks forty bucks, but it's
got to be worth it. If you got that kind
of dough. Protect your house. Speaking protect your house, there's
(25:35):
still looting going on. If you can believe that there
are people out there still taking advantage of folks that
have been burned out of their home, people who have
lost everything, they don't know what to do, and they
go into the neighborhood and people are rummaging through their crap.
It's still going.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
On, but.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
The possibility to cut that off with a lot of punishment,
a lot of threads, of a lot of prison time.
Our message today is simple, individuals who put our firefighters
at risk or prey on communities when they're at their
most vulnerable, must be held accountable. There you go, that's
our new DA and he's going after these cads.
Speaker 14 (26:17):
Local officials coming together to bring forward a bipartisan bill
ABE four sixty nine to keep potential looters away from
disaster zones, protect first responders and the property of people
fleeing their home to safety.
Speaker 15 (26:29):
We owed it to them to make sure that the
remnants of their community would be kept safe as possible.
Speaker 14 (26:36):
The proposed legislation it comes after multiple people were caught
impersonating firefighters and breaking into homes in the aftermath.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Of the and Palisades fires.
Speaker 14 (26:45):
It would make looting a felony if you're caught engaging
that behavior, increasing prison time from the existing one year
penalty to up to four years behind bars.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Four years for looting. That'll scare some people.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
The bill also makes impersonating any first responder during a
disaster an enhanced felony.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
When theft occurs in the disaster zone in a state
of emergency, it needs to be charged appropriately, fairly.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
And it needs to represent the conduct of the crime.
Speaker 14 (27:16):
The bill would also extend into the rebuilding process, ensuring
people and their property remain safe.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
This is not a victimless crime.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
This is about individuals who have left everything behind only
to come back and if their home is still standing,
have it burglarized.
Speaker 12 (27:30):
Now, we did ask how quickly this law would go
into effect, and we're told typically it would go into
effect by next to January.
Speaker 14 (27:37):
That would be the soonest.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Ah, too late, too late. Next January, there'll be homes
that have been rebuilt already.
Speaker 14 (27:43):
But given the circumstances, they are working with the governor
to try and expedite the process. Reporting in downtown Los Angeles,
money got they on that.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
ABC seven eyewitness use a great job.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
On that.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
ABC seven eyewitness use Yes, that is great, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
When we got at the top of the hour, at
five o'clock. We got a very funny man coming on
with this guy named Brian Reagan. If you've not seen
him in concert, make it a point to go see
him while he's here. He's going to be in California.
I'm the fifteenth, sixteenth, twenty seven, twenty eighth and March first.
(28:19):
We'll tell you where when he comes on. But he's
a very very funny man. We've had him on the
show for many, many, many years, and he works very clean,
which is difficult to do in comedy. And he's he's great.
His brother's very funny too, So he was telling you.
He was telling his story last time he was on.
(28:41):
There's six kids in his family. Two of the kids
became teachers, two became doctors or lawyers, and two became comedians.
Kind of odd, right, but a very very funny man.
He's telling us a story. He moved to Las Vegas
and he was unaware that Las Vegas had a water shortage,
(29:03):
completely unaware, you know, one of these idiots from La
like me, moves to Las Vegas. The first thing he does,
he rolls out a slipping slide on the front yard
for his kids, and he couldn't understand why everybody was
crossing their arms and staring at him. Hey, who's the
guy with the slipping slide on his lawn. That's Brian Reagan.
(29:26):
And the whole run he does on going to an
emergency room is so great, very funny man. And so
we're gonna have him on at the top of the
hour at five o'clock. Very nice of him to come
back with us or a funny dude, all right. The
Genesis Invitational happening in Tory Pines usually happens here in
a Pacific Palisades area right off of Sunset at the Riviera,
(29:49):
but they moved it because of the fires, and Tiger
Woods is not going to be in it because the
death of his mom. So and hopefully they don't get
rained out, but looks like they're gonna rain as well.
And typically a golf tournament goes Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
eighteen on Thursday eighteen, on Friday eighteen on Saturday, and
then the same a mount on Sunday, first seventy two
(30:13):
hole total, and Tiger Woods is not going to be
playing in it. And that's his tournament. It's named after him,
The Genesis Tiger Woods Invitational.
Speaker 15 (30:22):
When officials saw the state of Pacific Palisades following the
fires and all the resources needed there, it was San
Diego that quickly stepped up to host the Genesis Invitational.
But everywhere you look at this tournament, fire rebuilding and
relief efforts are on display. Although the twenty twenty five
Genesis Invitational golf tournament, which kicks off Thursday, will be
(30:44):
played at Tory Pines in San Diego instead of Riva
or a country club, and Pacific Palisades fire relief efforts
are top of my golfers.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Born and raised in Los Angeles.
Speaker 11 (30:54):
I've been to the area so much, and I have
family there and tons of friends there, and I've driven
those streets and when I turn on the news, I
knew exactly where they were. It was felt, I don't know,
it just hit me harder. I'm very, very proud to
be from Los Angeles and I am looking forward to
(31:14):
being a part of and continuing to watch the city
rebuild and everyone come together.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
A lot of communities that are in need, a lot
of people and families that are in need, and just
to kind of do a little bit of support and
just create awareness.
Speaker 15 (31:26):
Genesis will donate eight million dollars to their initiative, California
Rises by giving one hundred of their vehicles used during
the tournament to groups supporting the fire relief efforts and
families who may have lost their car in the fires.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
How about that about Genesis stepping up.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Genesis will donate eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Eight million dollars. She may have lost there, that's great,
Jennis is eight million dollars.
Speaker 15 (31:50):
Also, for every birdie and eagle made during the tournament,
the company will donate three hundred dollars. And if there's
a hole in one, ten thousand dollars hol in wand
that's great.
Speaker 16 (32:02):
All ticketing fees for tickets purchased with the Genesis Invitational
will be donated to California Rises. Then when you get
on site, you can go into the golf shop, into
the merchandise ten Rises merchandise. One hundred percent of the
proceeds will benefit the California Rises initiative. You can go
to the Genesis Lounge behind the ninety. You can write
(32:22):
a postcard to a first responder.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Had a lot to do. You can do everything you
do everything merchandise. You can write a postcard and drive
around one of those cards.
Speaker 16 (32:31):
You can go to the Genesis Lounge behind the ninety
you can write a postcard to a first responder.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
Golf fans from Los Angeles are encouraged to attend the
tournament not just to see the best golfers in the world,
but to celebrate the resiliency of those in Pacific Palace
Stats and Alta Dina.
Speaker 17 (32:47):
We really love our neighbors, our fans that have supported
that tournament for so many years.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
They've come out.
Speaker 17 (32:53):
And roves and supported that. We feel for them. We
know a lot of them are affected by the fires.
Our prayers are with them. We're going to do everything
we can to support the communities in the greater LA
area toward that effect. And ideally we'll be back at
Rivera next year.
Speaker 15 (33:10):
And the Genesis Invitationals, of course hosted by Tiger Woods,
who will not be playing because of the recent passing
of his mother, but we're told that Woods may make
an appearance here later in the week Live in San Diego.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Josh Haskell, ABC seven.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Josh Haskell, and it's a.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Great reporter that Josh Haskell like that dude, all right,
when we come back, Brian Reagan is going to be
with us. Very funny man. And he's got one, two, three, four, five,
at least five dates coming up in California that you
can go see him and we'll talk about where those
are when we return. Don't forget Thursday, big ass rainstorm.
(33:53):
Be aware of that. Pass the word around on social media,
Pass the word around to friends and family. There is
going to be a big one. Gotta be prepared. We're
