Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Asap, Rocky
has walked, he will not be going to prison, and
you'll be going home to Rihanna and those two kids.
Verdict came out about an hour ago, right, yeah, yeah,
just about an hour ago.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Now I think it's been two hours.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Oh it has been to it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, so I gle after four I think it came out. No, No,
you're right. Maybe it was just a little an hour.
I feel like it was a little after four. Maybe
I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
He's lefter five?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh was it? Okay? Well, then you're right.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
What time was it? Steph fush?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
What time that ride come down? Fine? It was right
before five five?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So yeah, Now, all right, here's a horrible story. You
like horrible stories, really not particularly all right, Well here's
one it's gonna make you crazy. These three kids in Michigan.
Three children were found living an absolute squalor in a
in a Michigan home in a rental home. Their mother
had a band in them. Three years ago, the thirty
(01:03):
four year old mother was arrested. Kids ages fifteen, thirteen,
and twelve lived in this house for two almost three years,
and the mom, I guess, would drop meals off every
once a while, but the kids never went outside and
the kids were they were living in complete filth. You've
never seen anything like this before in your life. You
(01:24):
just can't do kids like that, They can't feel for themselves.
I have never, in mind sixty years of living, heard
of nobody not checking on nobody.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
We're still waiting to find out what the charges will
be for the mother accused of leaving her kids inside
of this Pontiac home and the worst conditions for years. Allegedly,
she only popped up weeks at a time to give
out food. In the meantime, the Oakland County Sheriff's Department
is taking donations for the teens pulled out of the
house by CPS, who are now staying with the relative.
(01:55):
One question that remains is how three of these children
were able to fall through the cracks with family members, neighbors, teachers,
and so many others not being able to tell that
something was clearly wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So the one kid, the older kid is fifteen, he
slept on a couch what was left of a couch,
and then the younger kids the twelve year old and
thirteen year old. They slept for two and a half
years on pizza boxes. Pizza boxes, Wow, there were the
kid's toenails were so long they could barely walk these kids.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I mean, the question that's asked there in that piece
is exactly right. How come you have that happening and
family members or and I'm sure there was a I
mean the extenuating circumstance here with family members not looking
in on them. However it was teachers, them not going
to school, whatever it might be. But as you say,
it went on for a long time.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
They had human waste, mold and garbage piling all the
way to the ceiling. And the home that they survived in.
They survived on their food, on food that mom would
bring by every every week. The children fifty ten year
old boy, two girls ages twelve and thirteen, were alone
in the home without supervision since twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And mom was a drug addict. What was the story?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I don't know. I'm not sure about Well, it wouldn't
surprise It wouldn't surprise.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Me, yea. What kind of dysfunction has to be there
for the woman not to.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It wouldn't surprise me. It was deplorable shape. They called
it the mother, I guess. They said the mother hadn't
been there since December, and so they called a welfare
check on the kids. Garbage was piled as high as
four feet in some rooms. Mold and human waste was
found throughout the house. The toilet was overflowing with feces,
(03:40):
and also the bathtub overflowing with feces. Deputies checked the
residents and the occupants, and they found the boy and
his two sisters. While food was dropped off weekly, the
children received no personal hygiene products or toilet paper, and
when they were found, they had soiled clothing and they
weren't even really sure how to use hygiene products at all.
(04:02):
The children seemed unfamiliar with how to use personal hygiene
items or how to flush a toilet. They had also
been out of school for years. Instead of spending their days,
they spent their days watching television and playing games. Authority
said it also appeared as though the girls had not
been outside in three years. The boys slept on a
(04:24):
mattress on the floor, the two girls slept on pizza boxes.
The authority said that the conditions were so poor that
the evidence technician had to wear a hazmat suit to
go in and get the kids. The sheriff described the
children's living conditions as absolute, the abuse in the highest order,
and vowed that the mother would face consequences for her actions.
(04:47):
Quote the situation would be deemed deplorable and intolerable for
an animal. While the mother had some contact with the
teenage son, the girls have been deprived of any action,
any interaction with the mom.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
What where did this happen?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
In Pontiac, Michigan. Neighbors were told the deputies they hadn't
They didn't know the children even lived there anymore, never
saw them outside, and the mother would occasionally drop things off.
The children were taking the hospital for evaluation. The mother
was found in another location and arrested without incident, but
the kids, again, their toenails were so long that the
(05:27):
two young girls couldn't even walk around.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Jesus just it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But that's that. You know, she'll probably get off for
for mental disease. That has to be mental disease. You
can't do that to your kids without being mentally you know.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The grain, right, But I mean you have to know.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I mean when you say mental disease are some kind
of mental compromise, I mean psychological issue, right you if
you know right from wrong?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
She doesn't though, but okay, if she is.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Ok if she does, then then that's what it goes
off on.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But you're right. If she does not, then she does not.
But I mean that's just that's another level.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It is unbelievable, unba believable.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
All right to me come here, I come here and
I learn.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I must tell you I really do, and I'm not
I'm kind of saying that playfully, but I must tell
you I actually do, seriously learn stuff here in this room.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well that's that. I thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Tim. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
They're closing the Van Eyes metro station. They call it
the G Line you used to call the Orange line,
and they're renovating the Van Eyes station. Mark with a
mini whip around just you. How long are they going
to close the metro station to do renovations?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Six months?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh? Very close? Three years?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
What are they? What kind of renovations that they are
they doing?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't know. But the Empire State Building was built
in eighteen months? I think, was it? I think so?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
A lot of Hollywood Squares type questions. Paul Trure falls
the Empire State Building. It was built in eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Let me look that up because I think it's twelve months,
but I think I let me say, how long? That's extraordinary?
What long did it take to build the Empire State Building?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
How long did it take to build the Empire State Building?
One year and forty five days. I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You are incredible though, with these factors.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
That was.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I give you credit, Thank you, buddy. I appreciate that.
So thirteen and a half months. Thirteen and a half months,
I mean, they built the Empire State Building in thirteen
and a half months.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And the thing's still standing, right, everything works well.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Three years for a metro station.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That is wrong. Wow, what are they doing?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
They're putting up three Empire State Buildings at that location.
Isn't that crazy? What are they doing? Okay, here's what
they're here's what it says they're doing. Van Ey's Metro
station closes for three years starting on Friday. Vaney's Metro station,
the G Line that's the rapid bus that traverses the
(08:19):
San Fernando Valley will close on Friday for three years
as work begins on a very ambitious project to improve
travel time and safety. So the parking lot at the station,
located at Van Eyes and Oxnard, will be closed along
with the bike path. Oh sorry, bikers, it says according
to Metro g Line, passengers heading towards Chatsworth will be
(08:42):
able to board the bus at a temporary stop, but
they're going to close it for three years while they
put a double decker on that thing. So during the closure,
Metro will build two bridges for the busway, one spanning
Van Eys Boulevard and the other one over Vesper Avenue.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh that's that's a big job.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's a six hundred and sixty eight million dollar project. Yeah,
they will include a third bridge over to Pulvita Boulevard. O.
That's a that's a big job.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's a big job. Yeah, that's different.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But let me ask you a let me do it
in another Hollywood Squares question. Okay, okay, all right, Hollywood
Squares question for Center Square, Mark Thompson, how are you Mark?

(09:55):
to be here on Hollywood Squares.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Okay, the question goes for Center Square Mark and the
question is how much did it cost to build Dodgers Stadium? No,
I know, we usually do Torurer Falls, but we're gonna
go out on our limit.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Hear.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Usually a multiple choice, I think would be how long
what did it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Cost to build?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Multiple choice? I was waiting for it, you know. Okay,
how much did it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Cost to build Dodgers Stadium? It's gonna be six hundred
and sixty eight million to put a bridge over Van
Euys Boulevard. How much did it cost to build Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm going to say, oh, and when was it built again?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Nineteen sixty two, between fifty nine and sixty.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Okay, I'm going to say it cost twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, you almost nailed it. Twenty three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh, I feel really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:48):

for twenty three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:53):

They're putting a bridge over Van Eys Boulevard for six
hundred and sixty eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Now, you couldn't even get a player who could hit
three point fifty for twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
The worst player on the team's making twenty three million.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Twenty three million. I got that on me.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
That's so great. That is classic. Man, What a what

brought her grand Ross on stage. As I recall, there
was a part of the show which was cute. Initially
I was really excited that, oh this is really cute,
this is really cool, and then she had I remember,
it sort of devolved into them singing a little bit
(13:28):
like a.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Little uh you know what I mean, right, like.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
A little like right like I'm not at your six
year old's granddaughter's recital.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You know what I mean. I came, but.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But but the grandparents in the stands love that kind
of grie.
Speaker 3 (13:43):

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, Diana Ross and her kids, Danna Ross and her grandkids. Yeah,
Danna Ross. All right, Diana Ross.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Steve Sobroff is in the news. You know who he is, right,
Mark Thompson, Yes, I do. Yeah, which is what he's
been in charge of cleaning up La.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, he has a lot to do with the city.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, well he was gonna, you know, Mayor Karen Bass said, hey,
he's our guy. He's going to clean up LA And
people are like, Okay, I know who that is. You know,
he was on the wrong side of the Courts and
Dodgers Stadium. But I know, at least I know who
it is. Maybe he'll do it and he'll do a
great job.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Well, now, faced with fierce criticism, and I'm not sure
how much more Mayor Bass can take. But faced with
fierce criticism over her chief wildfire Recovery offices planned salary
for Steve Sobroff.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Oh, he's going to get who's getting money for this
job of overseeing the cleanup?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's right, for ninety days worth of work, Mayor Karen
Bass was going to spend our tax dollars. Actually, I
don't live in the City of la You do your
tax dollars. Yeah, for ninety days worth of work. Steve
Sobroff was going to get a half a million dollars. Wow,
half a million dollars for three months worth of work.
(15:14):
So what is that? That's a half million for three months.
That's four million, two million dollars a year. That's the
salary that she was going to pay Steve Sobroff. Steve
Sobros's original salary, which it would have been funded entirely
by charitable organizations. Oh, I guess it's not taxpayer money
charitable organizations. So instead of giving you know, meals to
(15:37):
people who needed or clothing, it was going to Steve Sobrof.
Steve Sobroff's original salary, which had been again funded entirely
by charitable organizations, was first reported by The La Times
early Saturday morning. Sobroff had defended the arrangement and saying
his expertise made him worth the price. What expert Oh wow,
(15:59):
that's he he did. Yeah, it would be.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's what Mary Mayor Bass should have said if she
wants to defend it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
After her refusal, Bass said in a statement. After her reversal,
I should say, Bass said in a statement, quote, Steve
is always there for LA I spoke to him today
and asked him to modify his agreement and work for free.
He said yes, So we agree that he won't get
any money for working. So if the La Times didn't
(16:27):
find out that salary, then a half million dollars that
was given to charity would have gone to Steve sober Off.
That seems ugly.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Well, I mean the fact that he then and now
she's announced he'll work for free. Let you know that
they felt that was untenable. And if it was untenable,
it shouldn't have been. That's right, it should have been
happening to begin with.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Longtime civic leader who raised his family in Pacific Palisade,
sober Off provided the mayor a direct line to the
fire Scorch community.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And he had.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Already I guess he uh, and he already was well
known for his work developing thousands of homes in Plaia Vista.
But the revelation that sober Off sober Off would be
paid a half million dollars over three months drew searing
read drew searing rebukes from Palisades residents. They didn't like
(17:24):
that at all. So he's not getting any money.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I mean, to be honest, you could have compensated him something.
It's just that you went in so hot with half
a million bucks, you know what I mean. That's this
just time spent, and he's using contacts and he's actually
going to make a difference, and he could donate that
money back to charity if he wanted. But I mean,
that's way. That was a way, way bloated figure. Half
a million dollars. It's just it's unacceptable. That was some
(17:48):
kind of payback thing. I don't know what's going on,
but Steve sober Off, let's see what his.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Net worth is here.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Oh my god, he's a wealthy guy.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
It doesn't say I guess he is not wealthy enough
to oh here, he is, Okay, profiles of LA's fifty
richest people. Oh, that's interesting you on this thing. Eli
Brhod's on top. Yeah, four point three billion dollars. No,
five point five billion dollars. Yeah, wait a minute, our
(18:19):
wealthiest guy only has five billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:23):

years old. We're two point five billion. Where are all

Good for you. It was a pumping. I love that
he knows about it. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
If you really want to just kind of live high
on the hog for the rest of your life and
have luxurious stuff thrown at you, yeah, night, waiting on
some glacial place here and have another place. Was he
a billionaires in London? I'm sure it didn't work out
to one of those things.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Was he a billionaire?
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Don't I don't know his net?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Bet you didn't look up? No, get out of you.
Then I don't believe you at all. I think the
first thing that you do is you look up how
much he's worked.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
She is a romantic tam and I'm offended on on
Angel's behalf.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Did he did he ever take you to Casa Romantica.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
It's a place in San Clementy, it is, and it's
a nickname for my house.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Never took me there?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Well, your wife did not nickname the house. My uncle did.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It's an odd story, all right, Angel, that's great to
find out, you know, years into this. But I'm glad
you enjoyed that.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Well, hey, thanks, I just I got bored so I

That's right, all right? Thanks for coming on age.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Of my more than just money to keep right exactly right.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Mark Tomsen is here and you're very close to one
hundred thousand followers or one hundred thousand viewers.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Subscribers, Yeah, subscribers on YouTube on YouTube. Yeah, that's very quick.
I'm very you've been doing you've done that for two years.
It's hard. I mean, it's hard work. We do a
show live, two hour show live every day. I mean
it's it's a lot of work. And there they're not
a bunch of producers and it's like you're one of
all support staff. So for me, it's really it's really
you know, it caps a lot of work. So I'm
really and and but again there are other people involved
(23:40):
in the show who are really also very helpful, like
a news person and you know, producer.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
In the moment.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
How long you been doing it?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Two years? So it's been two years and you.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Have one hundred thousand subscribers. Yeah, that's great, dude, very cool.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Thanks you remember that I can't even get my head
around and you and you've been supportive and you mentioned
the show from time to time, and I appreciate it
really matters.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You know, people come come from KFI Land as well.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Can I be honest with you, Yeah, because I can't
do it off the air, do it on the air,
I'm sure so at least, uh, you know, I can
talk to you about it. Yeah, but I've I unsubscribed
to your show.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
No, I understand, Well you're a you're a maga.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Right, well, let me tell you why I didn't subscribe
before we get into that. Okay, when I subscribe to it,
I got a lot of Kamala Harris, you know, donate
all that stuff, and that's not my vibe.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Oh you did, because that's not what I never was
a Kamala Harris supporter. Oh well, maybe they do, you know.
I mean, I don't know are you are? You don't please,
don't make up stuff like if you didn't really get it.
I know you're being funny, right.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No I did?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I did? On that's not cool.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I mean people people think you're serious, and I'm like,
I'm not a Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I don't even raise money or Kamla has What are
you talking about?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But I know that if you're if you are a maga,
you're not going to be happy. But you're not maga,
You're gonna I think I'm pretty much letting up both sides.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I get I got a point of view and I'm
opening up. I get it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
But I'll tell you you did. You did? Come on?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Love irritates you did come on when we did a
meet up one that's right off the air for free,
and and people loved Tim as you know, people loved
you and that was so cool of you to do
so that was really supportive. So I don't need you
to on the air. I'll resubscribe, thank you, thank you.
It's free. The show is free, right and you don't
(25:28):
even have to watch it, no, exactly, and you have
to subscribe. Do what Tim does?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Watch?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Should they send you that big silver uh YouTube?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
They're going to send me a plaqu which at one
hundred thousand. Yeah, very exciting you to put that plaque
in the background. I don't know what do you think people?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I would do that? Okay, I'll tell you why, because
YouTube likes when you do that, and you want to
get on YouTube's good side.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You're not kidding, man, It's a different world.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Because YouTube can shut you down. They sure can it
a heartbeat, yeah, they can.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
They can do it.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
De monetize, demonetize you and your and your hold into
the algorithm.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
You know, they have this thing.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It's like when you go to YouTube, the stuff you're
served is based on a bunch of things that you're
not even keeping track of or can't keep track of them.
And I think it's just mathematics that you can't possibly
know to serve you more stuff that is kind of
like the stuff that you enjoy watching. But so that's
called an algorithm, I guess, And you know that's the
that's the numbers part of it that goes into it.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You should do a video on how to create your
own talk show and how to get one hundred thousand
people to follow you in two years.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I would, but I don't really know how. I just
did it. I did it. I don't think I've followed
a lot of the rules, meaning I think I could
have gotten there sooner if i'd follow it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
The YouTube buddy, most people never get there. No, I
would say ninety seven or a ninety eight percent of
the people never get there.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It is hard. I can understand why. I mean, it's
easy to give up.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Okay, I'm going to retract that ninety nine percent of
people never get there. Two hundred thousand followers subscribers never.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Wow, Well, I don't know what the numbers are, but
I know that it's very challenging to get there.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And that's very hard. As soon as you get one
hundred thousand. The two hundred thousand is easier as soon
as you get to two, three is easier, and four
as it grows like wildfire.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
That'd be extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
All right, let's get mark to one hundred thousand. Go subscribe,
I'll rerescribe, re subscribe. I'll put up with all the
you know, the the Trump crap that you put up there. Yeah,
but I'm going to subscribe. I'll subscribe right now. Alright,
I'm going everybody, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Would be great.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Let's put him over the top tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
So we are at we're at ninety nine thousand, nine
hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let's do it right now on the air.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
So what do you need? Tim, you're the math guy.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Wait, what do you?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
What do you So we're at ninety nine thousand, nine
hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Oh yeah, you only need eighty six? Yeah, eighty six.
All right, I'm gonna subscribe. Boom yeah right there.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
But if you're going to subscribe, definitely don't unsubscribe right
away because I'll draw back under one hundred thousand, and
that'll be awful.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Do they take that plaque away? Yeah, imagine that. I'll
just be terrible. You have a catchphrase, right, that's the
be a big YouTuber. You got to have like a
lockout of some kind of I.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Don't really well. I do the McLaughlin you know how
McLaughlin used to do. And I have a little drop
that goes out of time bye bye, and so I
always go bye bye at the end.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
That's about as close to a catchphrase. You please tell
her this.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
My favorite drop on that show is when you play
something and your news person is a Kim Kim.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, she goes what, Yeah, we play the what. That's Oprah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
It's the best.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's Oprah's drop. I thought that was no. Kim is
the I blame you? Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
That's a good one too. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Like what we well, That I drop gets more work
out than anything.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It's the ultra drop from her interviewer.
Speaker 1 (28:50):

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So yeah, Now, all right, here's a horrible story. You
like horrible stories, really not particularly all right, Well here's
one it's gonna make you crazy. These three kids in Michigan.
Three children were found living an absolute squalor in a
in a Michigan home in a rental home. Their mother
had a band in them. Three years ago, the thirty
(01:03):
four year old mother was arrested. Kids ages fifteen, thirteen,
and twelve lived in this house for two almost three years,
and the mom, I guess, would drop meals off every
once a while, but the kids never went outside and
the kids were they were living in complete filth. You've
never seen anything like this before in your life. You
(01:24):
just can't do kids like that, They can't feel for themselves.
I have never, in mind sixty years of living, heard
of nobody not checking on nobody.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
We're still waiting to find out what the charges will
be for the mother accused of leaving her kids inside
of this Pontiac home and the worst conditions for years. Allegedly,
she only popped up weeks at a time to give
out food. In the meantime, the Oakland County Sheriff's Department
is taking donations for the teens pulled out of the
house by CPS, who are now staying with the relative.
(01:55):
One question that remains is how three of these children
were able to fall through the cracks with family members, neighbors, teachers,
and so many others not being able to tell that
something was clearly wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So the one kid, the older kid is fifteen, he
slept on a couch what was left of a couch,
and then the younger kids the twelve year old and
thirteen year old. They slept for two and a half
years on pizza boxes. Pizza boxes, Wow, there were the
kid's toenails were so long they could barely walk these kids.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I mean, the question that's asked there in that piece
is exactly right. How come you have that happening and
family members or and I'm sure there was a I
mean the extenuating circumstance here with family members not looking
in on them. However it was teachers, them not going
to school, whatever it might be. But as you say,
it went on for a long time.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
They had human waste, mold and garbage piling all the
way to the ceiling. And the home that they survived in.
They survived on their food, on food that mom would
bring by every every week. The children fifty ten year
old boy, two girls ages twelve and thirteen, were alone
in the home without supervision since twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And mom was a drug addict. What was the story?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I don't know. I'm not sure about Well, it wouldn't
surprise It wouldn't surprise.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Me, yea. What kind of dysfunction has to be there
for the woman not to.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It wouldn't surprise me. It was deplorable shape. They called
it the mother, I guess. They said the mother hadn't
been there since December, and so they called a welfare
check on the kids. Garbage was piled as high as
four feet in some rooms. Mold and human waste was
found throughout the house. The toilet was overflowing with feces,
(03:40):
and also the bathtub overflowing with feces. Deputies checked the
residents and the occupants, and they found the boy and
his two sisters. While food was dropped off weekly, the
children received no personal hygiene products or toilet paper, and
when they were found, they had soiled clothing and they
weren't even really sure how to use hygiene products at all.
(04:02):
The children seemed unfamiliar with how to use personal hygiene
items or how to flush a toilet. They had also
been out of school for years. Instead of spending their days,
they spent their days watching television and playing games. Authority
said it also appeared as though the girls had not
been outside in three years. The boys slept on a
(04:24):
mattress on the floor, the two girls slept on pizza boxes.
The authority said that the conditions were so poor that
the evidence technician had to wear a hazmat suit to
go in and get the kids. The sheriff described the
children's living conditions as absolute, the abuse in the highest order,
and vowed that the mother would face consequences for her actions.
(04:47):
Quote the situation would be deemed deplorable and intolerable for
an animal. While the mother had some contact with the
teenage son, the girls have been deprived of any action,
any interaction with the mom.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
What where did this happen?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
In Pontiac, Michigan. Neighbors were told the deputies they hadn't
They didn't know the children even lived there anymore, never
saw them outside, and the mother would occasionally drop things off.
The children were taking the hospital for evaluation. The mother
was found in another location and arrested without incident, but
the kids, again, their toenails were so long that the
(05:27):
two young girls couldn't even walk around.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Jesus just it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But that's that. You know, she'll probably get off for
for mental disease. That has to be mental disease. You
can't do that to your kids without being mentally you know.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The grain, right, But I mean you have to know.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I mean when you say mental disease are some kind
of mental compromise, I mean psychological issue, right you if
you know right from wrong?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
She doesn't though, but okay, if she is.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Ok if she does, then then that's what it goes
off on.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But you're right. If she does not, then she does not.
But I mean that's just that's another level.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It is unbelievable, unba believable.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
All right to me come here, I come here and
I learn.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I must tell you I really do, and I'm not
I'm kind of saying that playfully, but I must tell
you I actually do, seriously learn stuff here in this room.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well that's that. I thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Tim. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
They're closing the Van Eyes metro station. They call it
the G Line you used to call the Orange line,
and they're renovating the Van Eyes station. Mark with a
mini whip around just you. How long are they going
to close the metro station to do renovations?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Six months?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh? Very close? Three years?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
What are they? What kind of renovations that they are
they doing?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't know. But the Empire State Building was built
in eighteen months? I think, was it? I think so?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
A lot of Hollywood Squares type questions. Paul Trure falls
the Empire State Building. It was built in eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Let me look that up because I think it's twelve months,
but I think I let me say, how long? That's extraordinary?
What long did it take to build the Empire State Building?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
How long did it take to build the Empire State Building?
One year and forty five days. I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You are incredible though, with these factors.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
That was.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I give you credit, Thank you, buddy. I appreciate that.
So thirteen and a half months. Thirteen and a half months,
I mean, they built the Empire State Building in thirteen
and a half months.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And the thing's still standing, right, everything works well.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Three years for a metro station.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That is wrong. Wow, what are they doing?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
They're putting up three Empire State Buildings at that location.
Isn't that crazy? What are they doing? Okay, here's what
they're here's what it says they're doing. Van Ey's Metro
station closes for three years starting on Friday. Vaney's Metro station,
the G Line that's the rapid bus that traverses the
(08:19):
San Fernando Valley will close on Friday for three years
as work begins on a very ambitious project to improve
travel time and safety. So the parking lot at the station,
located at Van Eyes and Oxnard, will be closed along
with the bike path. Oh sorry, bikers, it says according
to Metro g Line, passengers heading towards Chatsworth will be
(08:42):
able to board the bus at a temporary stop, but
they're going to close it for three years while they
put a double decker on that thing. So during the closure,
Metro will build two bridges for the busway, one spanning
Van Eys Boulevard and the other one over Vesper Avenue.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh that's that's a big job.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's a six hundred and sixty eight million dollar project. Yeah,
they will include a third bridge over to Pulvita Boulevard. O.
That's a that's a big job.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's a big job. Yeah, that's different.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But let me ask you a let me do it
in another Hollywood Squares question. Okay, okay, all right, Hollywood
Squares question for Center Square, Mark Thompson, how are you Mark?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Hello, I've got a pleasure to be here. I've got
a podcast and a YouTube show called The Mark Thompson Show.

On the East coast ash of Washington, d C. But
so excited to be in Hollywood. Oh that's great. What

We went to Universal Studios with the Universal Studios tour,
of course, went to Disneyland. We've got a tour of
the Warner Brothers lot, which because I have a friend
who worked over there, so I've done a lot of
really exciting Hollywood stuff. It's really, honestly the most exciting
(09:55):
to be here on Hollywood Squares.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Okay, the question goes for Center Square Mark and the
question is how much did it cost to build Dodgers Stadium? No,
I know, we usually do Torurer Falls, but we're gonna
go out on our limit.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Hear.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Usually a multiple choice, I think would be how long
what did it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Cost to build?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Multiple choice? I was waiting for it, you know. Okay,
how much did it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Cost to build Dodgers Stadium? It's gonna be six hundred
and sixty eight million to put a bridge over Van
Euys Boulevard. How much did it cost to build Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm going to say, oh, and when was it built again?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Nineteen sixty two, between fifty nine and sixty.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Okay, I'm going to say it cost twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, you almost nailed it. Twenty three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh, I feel really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, they bought all the property and built that stadium
for twenty three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, and now.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They're putting a bridge over Van Eys Boulevard for six
hundred and sixty eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Now, you couldn't even get a player who could hit
three point fifty for twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
The worst player on the team's making twenty three million.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Twenty three million. I got that on me.

That must have been some show.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Huh yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But the one thing Ross it was good, It was good.
But she's got an amazing songbook, of course, but she
brought her grand Ross on stage. As I recall, there
was a part of the show which was cute. Initially
I was really excited that, oh this is really cute,
this is really cool, and then she had I remember,
it sort of devolved into them singing a little bit
(13:28):
like a.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Little uh you know what I mean, right, like.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
A little like right like I'm not at your six
year old's granddaughter's recital.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You know what I mean. I came, but.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But but the grandparents in the stands love that kind
of grie.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I get it. Yeah, And I wasn't. I didn't hate it.
I just thought kind of like, that's not what you've
paid for, right, I wanted to see Mark, Diana Ross,
Danna Ross, Dinah Ross, Diana Ross.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, Diana Ross and her kids, Danna Ross and her grandkids. Yeah,
Danna Ross. All right, Diana Ross.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Steve Sobroff is in the news. You know who he is, right,
Mark Thompson, Yes, I do. Yeah, which is what he's
been in charge of cleaning up La.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, he has a lot to do with the city.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, well he was gonna, you know, Mayor Karen Bass said, hey,
he's our guy. He's going to clean up LA And
people are like, Okay, I know who that is. You know,
he was on the wrong side of the Courts and
Dodgers Stadium. But I know, at least I know who
it is. Maybe he'll do it and he'll do a
great job.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Well, now, faced with fierce criticism, and I'm not sure
how much more Mayor Bass can take. But faced with
fierce criticism over her chief wildfire Recovery offices planned salary
for Steve Sobroff.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Oh, he's going to get who's getting money for this
job of overseeing the cleanup?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's right, for ninety days worth of work, Mayor Karen
Bass was going to spend our tax dollars. Actually, I
don't live in the City of la You do your
tax dollars. Yeah, for ninety days worth of work. Steve
Sobroff was going to get a half a million dollars. Wow,
half a million dollars for three months worth of work.
(15:14):
So what is that? That's a half million for three months.
That's four million, two million dollars a year. That's the
salary that she was going to pay Steve Sobroff. Steve
Sobros's original salary, which it would have been funded entirely
by charitable organizations. Oh, I guess it's not taxpayer money
charitable organizations. So instead of giving you know, meals to
(15:37):
people who needed or clothing, it was going to Steve Sobrof.
Steve Sobroff's original salary, which had been again funded entirely
by charitable organizations, was first reported by The La Times
early Saturday morning. Sobroff had defended the arrangement and saying
his expertise made him worth the price. What expert Oh wow,
(15:59):
that's he he did. Yeah, it would be.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's what Mary Mayor Bass should have said if she
wants to defend it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
After her refusal, Bass said in a statement. After her reversal,
I should say, Bass said in a statement, quote, Steve
is always there for LA I spoke to him today
and asked him to modify his agreement and work for free.
He said yes, So we agree that he won't get
any money for working. So if the La Times didn't
(16:27):
find out that salary, then a half million dollars that
was given to charity would have gone to Steve sober Off.
That seems ugly.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Well, I mean the fact that he then and now
she's announced he'll work for free. Let you know that
they felt that was untenable. And if it was untenable,
it shouldn't have been. That's right, it should have been
happening to begin with.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Longtime civic leader who raised his family in Pacific Palisade,
sober Off provided the mayor a direct line to the
fire Scorch community.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And he had.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Already I guess he uh, and he already was well
known for his work developing thousands of homes in Plaia Vista.
But the revelation that sober Off sober Off would be
paid a half million dollars over three months drew searing
read drew searing rebukes from Palisades residents. They didn't like
(17:24):
that at all. So he's not getting any money.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I mean, to be honest, you could have compensated him something.
It's just that you went in so hot with half
a million bucks, you know what I mean. That's this
just time spent, and he's using contacts and he's actually
going to make a difference, and he could donate that
money back to charity if he wanted. But I mean,
that's way. That was a way, way bloated figure. Half
a million dollars. It's just it's unacceptable. That was some
(17:48):
kind of payback thing. I don't know what's going on,
but Steve sober Off, let's see what his.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Net worth is here.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Oh my god, he's a wealthy guy.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
It doesn't say I guess he is not wealthy enough
to oh here, he is, Okay, profiles of LA's fifty
richest people. Oh, that's interesting you on this thing. Eli
Brhod's on top. Yeah, four point three billion dollars. No,
five point five billion dollars. Yeah, wait a minute, our

Good for you. It was a pumping. I love that

Speaker 3 (21:49):
If you really want to just kind of live high
on the hog for the rest of your life and
have luxurious stuff thrown at you, yeah, night, waiting on
some glacial place here and have another place. Was he
a billionaires in London? I'm sure it didn't work out
to one of those things.

Don't I don't know his net?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Bet you didn't look up? No, get out of you.

Angel's behalf.

Of my more than just money to keep right exactly right.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Mark Tomsen is here and you're very close to one
hundred thousand followers or one hundred thousand viewers.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Subscribers, Yeah, subscribers on YouTube on YouTube. Yeah, that's very quick.
I'm very you've been doing you've done that for two years.
It's hard. I mean, it's hard work. We do a
show live, two hour show live every day. I mean
it's it's a lot of work. And there they're not
a bunch of producers and it's like you're one of
all support staff. So for me, it's really it's really
you know, it caps a lot of work. So I'm
really and and but again there are other people involved
(23:40):
in the show who are really also very helpful, like
a news person and you know, producer.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
In the moment.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
How long you been doing it?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Two years? So it's been two years and you.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Have one hundred thousand subscribers. Yeah, that's great, dude, very cool.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Thanks you remember that I can't even get my head
around and you and you've been supportive and you mentioned
the show from time to time, and I appreciate it
really matters.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You know, people come come from KFI Land as well.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Can I be honest with you, Yeah, because I can't
do it off the air, do it on the air,
I'm sure so at least, uh, you know, I can
talk to you about it. Yeah, but I've I unsubscribed
to your show.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
No, I understand, Well you're a you're a maga.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Right, well, let me tell you why I didn't subscribe
before we get into that. Okay, when I subscribe to it,
I got a lot of Kamala Harris, you know, donate
all that stuff, and that's not my vibe.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Oh you did, because that's not what I never was
a Kamala Harris supporter. Oh well, maybe they do, you know.
I mean, I don't know are you are? You don't please,
don't make up stuff like if you didn't really get it.
I know you're being funny, right.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No I did?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I did? On that's not cool.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I mean people people think you're serious, and I'm like,
I'm not a Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I don't even raise money or Kamla has What are
you talking about?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But I know that if you're if you are a maga,
you're not going to be happy. But you're not maga,
You're gonna I think I'm pretty much letting up both sides.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I get I got a point of view and I'm
opening up. I get it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
But I'll tell you you did. You did? Come on?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Love irritates you did come on when we did a
meet up one that's right off the air for free,
and and people loved Tim as you know, people loved
you and that was so cool of you to do
so that was really supportive. So I don't need you
to on the air. I'll resubscribe, thank you, thank you.
It's free. The show is free, right and you don't
(25:28):
even have to watch it, no, exactly, and you have
to subscribe. Do what Tim does?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Watch?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Should they send you that big silver uh YouTube?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
They're going to send me a plaqu which at one
hundred thousand. Yeah, very exciting you to put that plaque
in the background. I don't know what do you think people?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I would do that? Okay, I'll tell you why, because
YouTube likes when you do that, and you want to
get on YouTube's good side.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You're not kidding, man, It's a different world.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Because YouTube can shut you down. They sure can it
a heartbeat, yeah, they can.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
They can do it.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
De monetize, demonetize you and your and your hold into
the algorithm.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
You know, they have this thing.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It's like when you go to YouTube, the stuff you're
served is based on a bunch of things that you're
not even keeping track of or can't keep track of them.
And I think it's just mathematics that you can't possibly
know to serve you more stuff that is kind of
like the stuff that you enjoy watching. But so that's
called an algorithm, I guess, And you know that's the
that's the numbers part of it that goes into it.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You should do a video on how to create your
own talk show and how to get one hundred thousand
people to follow you in two years.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I would, but I don't really know how. I just
did it. I did it. I don't think I've followed
a lot of the rules, meaning I think I could
have gotten there sooner if i'd follow it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
The YouTube buddy, most people never get there. No, I
would say ninety seven or a ninety eight percent of
the people never get there.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It is hard. I can understand why. I mean, it's
easy to give up.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Okay, I'm going to retract that ninety nine percent of
people never get there. Two hundred thousand followers subscribers never.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Wow, Well, I don't know what the numbers are, but
I know that it's very challenging to get there.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And that's very hard. As soon as you get one
hundred thousand. The two hundred thousand is easier as soon
as you get to two, three is easier, and four
as it grows like wildfire.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
That'd be extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
All right, let's get mark to one hundred thousand. Go subscribe,
I'll rerescribe, re subscribe. I'll put up with all the
you know, the the Trump crap that you put up there. Yeah,
but I'm going to subscribe. I'll subscribe right now. Alright,
I'm going everybody, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Would be great.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Let's put him over the top tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
So we are at we're at ninety nine thousand, nine
hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let's do it right now on the air.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
So what do you need? Tim, you're the math guy.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Wait, what do you?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
What do you So we're at ninety nine thousand, nine
hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Oh yeah, you only need eighty six? Yeah, eighty six.
All right, I'm gonna subscribe. Boom yeah right there.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
But if you're going to subscribe, definitely don't unsubscribe right
away because I'll draw back under one hundred thousand, and
that'll be awful.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Do they take that plaque away? Yeah, imagine that. I'll
just be terrible. You have a catchphrase, right, that's the
be a big YouTuber. You got to have like a
lockout of some kind of I.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Don't really well. I do the McLaughlin you know how
McLaughlin used to do. And I have a little drop
that goes out of time bye bye, and so I
always go bye bye at the end.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
That's about as close to a catchphrase. You please tell
her this.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
My favorite drop on that show is when you play
something and your news person is a Kim Kim.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, she goes what, Yeah, we play the what. That's Oprah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
It's the best.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's Oprah's drop. I thought that was no. Kim is
the I blame you? Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
That's a good one too. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Like what we well, That I drop gets more work
out than anything.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It's the ultra drop from her interviewer.
