Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k if I am six forty and you're listening
to The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Can if I am six forty, It's Conway Show. Let's
get right into it with Alex Stone, the guy who
I buy all my MAGA merchandise from. How you Bump, Buddy?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Now, come on, that's our.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Super Okay, sorry buddy. Hey, So, but I was really
bummed when I saw the Gene Hackman died. One of
my favorite actors. I really enjoyed that man's work.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, quite an actor. And you think of all the movies. Yeah,
I mean over the years, Royal Tann and Bombs, I
mean just so many of them. Nineties, yeah, Superman, Lex Luthor, Yeah, yeah,
Crimson Tide, which I doubt. When I saw the clips,
I was like, oh, Hunt for Red October. Oh wait no,
that same movie but different actors.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Right, Yeah, same outcome, same plot, the whole thing, just
different title, but man. And then when they announced his
death they said, oh, nothing suspicious. I'm like, wait a minute,
everyone in the house and the dog's dead and nothing suspicious.
I'm gonna I'm gonna stay on high alert on this one.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
And it was such a brief statement that they put
out early this morning, and then the Sheriff's department in
Santa Fe went radio asilent on us after that, and
it only said that they'd been found dead, nothing suspicious,
and they were investigating.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
And it was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's say a
little bit more than that.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
When one of the greatest actors of all time, yes,
ends up dead with his wife and dog, that he
can tell us a little bit more. And some of
that is because they really don't know. And you know,
they're calling it suspicious because the front door was opened,
two people and dog were found dead inside of a home,
and that alone is suspicious. But there were no signs
of fel play, no signs of trauma, no signs of

(01:45):
how they died. They weren't shot, they weren't stabbed, they
weren't beaten. But they can't rule out a crime because
they don't know what it was. So the sheriff putting
it this way.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
We're not ruling it out. What I did state was
was there was no obvious sign or indication of all
foul plea. There was no immediate sign of foul play.
Haven't ruled that out. Yet this is an investigation, so
we're keeping everything on the table, but there's.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Nothing to rule it in either because they don't see anything.
The most likely scenario, and the one that typically when
multiple people are dead inside of a home and there's
no trauma to them and there's an animal that's dead
as well with no trauma, would be that there's gas
of some kind of the carbon monoxide the most likely scenario,
or something else, and they do believe Tim that that
is a possibility. Yeah, I mean pills potentially as well.

(02:32):
But you're gonna give your dog pills?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, no, I think what happened was Look, I'm not
a detective, but I think this is what happened. All right,
you got no pad, all right, we're gonna play detective. Okay,
all right, give it to me. So I think that
that he was having problems and he sort of he
passed away. She couldn't deal with it. You reach for
some pills to get her through the night. That that

(02:55):
chewed her up. She's out. And then the dog was
locked in the kennel overnight and the dogs starved to
death in that kennel because the other two dogs that
were roaming around they survived, and what, I don't go
they were fine, right and what? And then the door
was a jar so the dogs could come in and
out of the house. But I don't think what they're
telling us, and I don't think they ever will. I

(03:15):
bet those dogs when dogs have nothing to eat and
they're the owner is not with us anymore. Chomp chomp.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, Well, we know that that they were decomposed. The bodies,
so they must be dead for a couple of weeks
or week at least, it was a long time she
was mummified. With god, that could have been months. So
let's flip it around the other way of what if
people have questioned his mental ability at ninety five years old,
what if she had a problem, because it does appear

(03:45):
based on what we know, he was decomposed as well,
but that she may have been further along that if
she had a problem and then he didn't appropriately deal
with it and then he had a problem later on,
that she may have. So they've to look at all
of these scenario of what if it was a crime,
what if it was probably the most likely scenario of

(04:06):
carbon monoxide poisoning, and they all went down quite a
while ago. It appears, or if one of them went
before the other one and then weren't able to deal
with it for whatever reason.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
But I've never heard of carbon monoxide killing anybody outside
of a studio apartment, you know, or maybe like a
small one bedroom place, not a four million dollar home.
There have been things here and there. They don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
They've got to look at too, if it was a
long time ago, because when they went in there were
no signs of carbon monoxide.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
They couldn't find a source of ituse the door was open.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, but that's the issue that if they died weeks
two months ago, that with the front door open and
with the doggy door that the dogs that were coming going,
that that would have gone away if the source wasn't
still making carbon monoxide.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
So they don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
She was found in the bathroom with the pills around her.
He was in a mud room, and they say it
looked like he fell suddenly, that his sunglasses were next
to him, but when he went down, he tossed them,
and that it was pretty easily apparent to the deputies
as they went through that that that he had gone
down quickly. But they're going to rely on an autopsy

(05:10):
to know why they died. They're going to do most
likely toxicology. You would in this kind of case. Do
they have drugs in their system? Did they have carbon
monoxide in their system? And that can take weeks, you know,
you're in La County. When when they do toxicology, he
can be like four months later before we know.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
But that dog probably had the worst death because that
dog was found in the kennel, so it starved to
death over over days or a week.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Unlust went to sleep in carbon monoxide. We don't know,
but yeah, they may have. It may have starved.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
We don't know. I would bet a million dollars the
carbon monoxide is not an issue there and it may
very well be right. And if it is, then that's
that's on them. You know, there are carbon monoxide detectors.
He has a three four million dollar house. You can't
spend you know, eighty dollars on a carbon monoxide detector.
That's on him. Sorry, sorry, too early.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
The issue too, being that they he being ninety five
years old. She was sixty five. But at ninety five,
the neighbors say they he never really came out any
longer because.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
He's angry as hell he's ninety five. When guys between
eighty and one hundred are angry as f all the time.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, but it makes the neighbors so they don't think
it's weird when cars aren't coming and going and you know,
nobody's coming out. He does have daughters. It seems like
maybe they weren't checking in on dad to see how.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
He Yeah, because he's angry as hell. Maybe so when
your dad, I don't know, how is your dad still
with us?

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Okay, my folks, how old is your dad?

Speaker 5 (06:35):
In?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Eighty Okay, he's coming around, he's gonna, he's getting there.
He's at the finishing line. Wait till he gets eighty three,
eighty four, eighty five, eighty seven, and man, oh man,
he'll light you up for no reason. That's what they do.
That's what they do. They get all eight and angry
as hell. My dad went through a phase like that,
you know, just you know, the most pleasant guy in
the world. But as you get older, you know, sometimes

(06:56):
you just blow up.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
The BBC is saying, by the way, that the two
workers said they last had contact with a couple two
weeks beforehand.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Okay, yeah, and some of that the timeline's been changing
a little bit on that, right, the sheriff. But but
it was at least a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
But she may have been mummified for, you know, six years,
because you know, when you're living with a ninety year
old guy who's angry all the time, you mummify yourself
with pills and liquor and cigarettes and whatever, vape or whatever.
You know, you just numb yourself.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
We've seen White Lotus the third season, right, Yeah, that's
Roker Posey numbing herself.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that was a big deal. And now
you wonder how the oscars are going to handle it.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, so typically in the in memoriam, when somebody dies
a week of the oscars, they don't add them. Remember
there was a controversy a couple of years ago, I
don't remember who it was, but that they died right
before and they didn't add them in. Yeah, so will
they put it in there? Doesn't seem like it'd be
that difficult to do it. But the last time they
claimed no, they'll be in next year's because they missed
the cutoff, right, Like, wait, really, you can't add one
more person in there.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
You know, there's an actor that did a lot of
Disney movies and a lot of independent movies. One called
on the Private Eyes. They went that way, in that way.
He did Apple Dumpling Gang one, Apple Dublin Gang two,
He did Roll Freddie, Roll the Shaggy Da. He did
a lot of Disney movies and had a lot of
box office success. And they left him out of the

(08:15):
Oscar in memoriam.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
It wasn't like next year.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
It was just completely appletely out. You know who the
actor was, who Tim Conway.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Your dad was not in the the in memorial.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
They left him out. Wow isn't that wild?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah? Crazy? Right? But you know what, somebody asked me
about it, and I said, that's my dad would have
left at that the least that he never cared about
awards or being you know, honored or anything. He wouldn't
have cared.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
At four thirty five. You got Monks. We got Monks
coming on at four thirty five, and he's going to
talk about Kristin Crawley. She's gonna peeal. You know, she's
the fire chief that got fire. She's going to peel
the city council to try to get her job back.
So the battle continues at four thirty five. You'll want
to come back and listen to that. That's gonna be great.

(09:10):
You got monks, you got bugs, all right. I saw
this today. This is, I guess, fairly big news. The
Gene Hackman story was the big story of the day.
But they're going to send an entire crew of women
into space. Women only, Gail King, Katie Perry, the whole group.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
I have to tell you, I'm so afraid stop. Gail.

Speaker 8 (09:37):
Blue Origin is getting ready to launch famous.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
If Gail King is that afraid, that's not who you
want to be sitting next to when this thing blasts off.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I have to tell you, I'm so afraid.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Stop.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Gail.

Speaker 9 (09:48):
Blue Origin is getting ready to launch a few famous
faces into space. Blue Origin, the aerospace company owned by
Jeff Bezos, announces the six person crew for its upcoming
NS thirty one mission, including CBS mornings, Aint Kork, Gail King.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, Gail King knows nothing about if they get caught
up in space doing you know, donuts or cartwheels. I
wouldn't turn to Gail King to try to land it,
all right, so we're oh for.

Speaker 8 (10:17):
One, pop superstar Katie Perry.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Oh for two, Oh for two Again, that space capsule
starts doing cartwheels in space at a thousand rotations a second.
I don't think Gail King or Katie Perry are equipped
or knowledgeable enough to land that sucker.

Speaker 8 (10:36):
Jeff's fiance Lauren Sanchez.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh for three. Now we got three people in that
spaceship that don't know how to land it.

Speaker 8 (10:45):
Aerospace engineer Aisha Bo.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, now we're getting better.

Speaker 8 (10:49):
Civil rights activist Amanda Win.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
We're back on the s list. So four to one
so far, four people that don't know how to land
it and one person that.

Speaker 8 (10:59):
Does, aerospace engineer Aisha Bo.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
She's the only one that knows how to land this sucker.

Speaker 9 (11:04):
Civil rights activist Amanda Win, and film producer Carrie Anne Flynn.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh no, oh no. We got five women who don't
know anything about any about space at all, don't know
which buttons to touch, what buttons, what levers to pull,
how to get back to Earth, And we just have
one person aboard that can help them out.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
Aerospace engineer Aisha Bo.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Ai Shabo. If anything happens, Ai Shabo, these cats are done.

Speaker 10 (11:35):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I know it's very it's automated. I get that, but
automation sometimes doesn't come together. Sometimes it screws up.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
Gail announces the all female flight crew during a segment
on the February twenty seventh episode of CBS Mornings.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I thought we already did that, the unmanned they call
it unmanned with Delta Airlines. Didn't Delta Airlines do an
unmanned trip, whereas all women, women, pilots, women, flight attendants, women,
this women that I don't know. I would, I would.
I would stop looking between the legs and start looking
between the ears and see who can land this sucker.

Speaker 9 (12:11):
Sharing that she was hesitant when first approached about the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, I'm hesitant and I'm not even going and I'm nervous.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
I have to tell you, I'm so afraid.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Stop Gail.

Speaker 11 (12:22):
I am, I'm so afraid. But I'm also.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Who's saying stop Gail? Is that Oprah?

Speaker 4 (12:26):
I have to tell you, I'm so afraid.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Stop Gail. I don't know who that is. Stop Gail.
That does sound like Oprah. I think they're still best friends, right,
Stop Gail? Stop Gail?

Speaker 11 (12:37):
I am, I'm so afraid, but I'm also so excited
about it.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh my god, she's a nervous wrect before she even
takes off. She shouldn't go. She's not she's not space people.
She shouldn't go. Stop, Gail, I am.

Speaker 11 (12:52):
I'm so afraid, but I'm also so excited about it.
It's when they asked me, and they asked me around Thanksgiving,
I was like, no, no, no, and I started thinking
about it. I met with favorite daughter Kirby, favorite son
will Oprah.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
That's my kitchen cabinet. They will all be there that day.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
With way she's got favorite kids.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Met with favorite daughter Kirby.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
She's got more than one daughter and one and she
calls one her favorite.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Met with favorite daughter Kirby.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Okay, favorite daughter Kirby, and are the other they only
she only has two cares. Oh she had okay, all right,
so she's got too. I thought there was an also
ran you know somebody that came in second.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Favorite son, will Oprah. That's my kitchen cabinet. They will
all be there that day with their spouses. Boy, and
I just thought, what a unique opportunity.

Speaker 9 (13:34):
Gail goes on to say that her best friend Oprah
Winfrey offered her some advice that stuck with her and
ultimately made her agree to be part of the mission.

Speaker 11 (13:43):
Well, you know, I had a big birthday, as you
guys know. You were both there, and I thought I
wanted to open myself up to new adventures and step
out of my comfort zone.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
And once, okay, all right, I get that opening up
yourself to new adventures. How about golf or tennis or
I don't know, the buffet at marketplace at Marongo. That's
something new, right, slide on down and enjoy yourself. How
about I don't know, going to see the Rockies. That's
opening up yourself to something new. Getting blasted into space

(14:12):
with four people that don't know how to land it.
That's almost too new, almost too much of a chance here,
too much.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
I wanted to.

Speaker 11 (14:20):
Open myself up to new adventures and step out of
my comfort zone. And once Kirby and Will were fine
with it, and Noprah was fine with it. I was
surprised because I thought Oprah said no, no, no, But
she said no. She said, I think if you don't
do it, when they all come back and you had
the opportunity to do it, you will be kicking yourself
and she's right.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, I might be right, Yeah, I might be right there.

Speaker 9 (14:42):
This seventy year old continues by introducing and praising the
other members of the all female crew.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Two.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
These women are so bad ass.

Speaker 11 (14:51):
I met you know, I knew Katie, I knew Lauren,
and I met the other crew history. They have such
amazing life there they are, They have such amazing life stories.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Alsoccomplished. But I was the only one.

Speaker 11 (15:02):
But I was the only one on the call, said,
is anybody scared?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, I don't think Gail King should go? Well, who's
gonna Let me? Let me replay this for you. You're
a newsguy, Krozier. Let me let me. Uh, I gotta
go back and find this here. Let me see who's
going here. Okay, let's find this thirty.

Speaker 9 (15:21):
One mission including CBS Mornings anchor Gail King.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay, Gail King is one of them.

Speaker 8 (15:26):
Pop superstar Katie Perry, Katy Perry.

Speaker 9 (15:29):
Jeff's fiance Lauren Sanchez, Lauren aerospace engineer Aisha Bo, civil
rights activist Amanda Win, and film producer Carrie Anne Flynn.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Who gets top billing when this thing does eight hundred
miles an hour into a mountain gotta be Katy Perry,
don't you think? Or would Gail King get Katie Priory
probably first.

Speaker 8 (15:53):
Gail's Gail's a.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
Close second maybe, yeah, Okay, to me, how Gail King
strikes me as someone that she does not do well
with stress and like anxiety attacks and things like that, and.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
That can kill you. That's right.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
And what's going to be more stressful than going up
in a tube into space?

Speaker 10 (16:10):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah? Locked in? You can't get out. There's no levers
or anything. They put those bolts. No, never mind. Yeah,
she shouldn't go. This is not for her.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
I have to tell you, I'm so a freezy.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Stop Gail. Oh my god, she's this crazy before they
you know, they like the first rocket.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
I have to tell you, I'm so a frezy.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Stop Gail. Stop Gail, Stop Gail. All right, we'll come back.
You got Monks. Monks is with us and he's got
a lot of information on Kristin Crawley, the fired chief
of La Fire Department, and she wants her job back,
and she's going to city council to try to get
it back. She needs ten of the fifteen council members
to vote for her. Well, let's see where they stay

(16:53):
at where they stand, whether they'll vote for her or not.
We'll say, we'll say Monks next.

Speaker 7 (16:58):
You got Monks listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI Am six forty.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
You got Monks right, You got Conway. Look at you, buddy, Hey,
Michael Monks is here. You got breaking news. I didn't
hear anybody reporting this until you.

Speaker 12 (17:16):
Yeah, it was just coming across the desk that Kristin Crowley,
the ousted fire chief, she wants her job back.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Marabas fired her last Friday.

Speaker 12 (17:24):
She has an option per the city charter that she
can file an appeal to the city Council and if
ten of those fifteen members say we want you back
in the job, you got your job back.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Okay. She's got an uphill battle because I believe, and
you know, I'm a math guy for you, racetrack guy,
big time math guys. She already has five against her.

Speaker 12 (17:43):
It's going to be a game of math for sure,
because we have to see how this appeal process works.
I don't see it on the agenda for tomorrow. There
is a city council meeting tomorrow that is a special
meeting that they've moved to the Van Nuys City Hall,
something they're doing every month now, not on the agenda currently,
but how quickly will we see this? I don't know
what does the format look like. I'm trying to find

(18:04):
that out. It could be interesting. But there are fifteen
members of the La City Council. She needs ten we
already know five have publicly supported Bass's decision. In fact,
four of them appeared at the press conference where Bass
announced the firing of Crowley, and a fifth came out later,
and only two have publicly spoken against it with any sharpness.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Okay, here's why I think she's done.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
If Kristin Crowley it goes to the vote, and Kristin
Crawley gets her job back, then Mayor Bass is going
to favor the five council members that helped her out
and ignore the other ten that helped Kristin Crawley out.
And that's going to affect the neighborhoods of these council members.
It's possible, but I know how city hall works. Ye,
it's definitely gonna happen. But you also are the creepiest

(18:47):
people in the world.

Speaker 12 (18:48):
When Mayor Bass gave her State of the City address
last year, she made it a point to acknowledge every
single member of the city Council and something that they
had collaborated on together in their individual district. But this
year is different. Her brand is maybe a little more
toxic than it was last year. So it's possible some
council members will be like, I gotta wipe that Bass

(19:09):
off of me this time around because her numbers are
down and I don't need that stink on me, that's right.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
So that will be curious to watch the politics of this.

Speaker 12 (19:17):
We're already seeing a little more division and a little
more feistiness at city Hall than we have seen in
a long time, all centered around policies related to the
response of these fires.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Right, and Bass is a fighter, you know. I mean
I know that she You know, she took a couple
of punches in the face during the fires, especially when
she was in the airport coming back from Africa, where
she said nothing that was a bad moment for her.
But other than that, she's a fighter. I think the
one thing that if I were in Bass's corner, I
would tell her you don't have to smile all the time,

(19:49):
you know, when you're talking about fourteen thousand people losing
their homes. You don't have to have an ear to
ear smile.

Speaker 12 (19:54):
Well, I would love to talk to somebody who can
analyze Mayor Bass's communication strategy through this disaster, because it's
been a little strange, horrible.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
But I noted this on Saturday Night.

Speaker 12 (20:07):
I'm hosting on Saturday nights from seven to nine every week,
and I brought I did a segment on this that
Mayor Bass is basically tweeting through it. You know, it's
like another day. She's tweeting about where she's gone in
the day, and despite the plethora of comments that are
all nasty towards her right now, like the political winds
are blowing against her, ok, you know, and so she

(20:28):
is just tweeting and posting on Facebook and making her
comments as if she is still in charge and as
if the blowback is non existent. So it's sort of
a strategy that she is going to outlast this criticism.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I bet she does. She's a survivor. Let me ask
you a quick question, your opinion. Does she ever in
her life, even after she's mayor, does she ever go
back to Ghana? I bet she won't even point to
Ghana on a map. Man, What a mistake. I mean,
all you know, if she did didn't go to Ghana,
if she stayed here in La, she would have been

(21:02):
a superhero.

Speaker 12 (21:03):
Well, you know, there was also a strategy that could
have been imparted here that Look, the President of the
United States called me to represent the country for this
little occasion that was happening in Ghana. I worked on
African issues while I was a member of Congress. This
was an honor to represent the United States of America
overseas for this trip and acknowledge that you misread the
tea leaves and you made a mistake in doing so.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
But she didn't do that. And by the way, he
was on his way out when he asked her to
go over exactly. I mean, it was a president who
was already leaving the White House. But still, I mean,
if the Santanna Wins weren't coming in, if the fire
conditions weren't there, none of us here in La would
have cared that she went to Ghana. Probably that's exactly right.
But when she says that she was unaware of the winds,

(21:45):
we started reporting that the Wednesday before, late Wednesday afternoon
into Thursday morning. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday, five days
before those winds.

Speaker 12 (21:54):
We have obtained the timeline from the National Weather Service
based on when they have told the local emergency responders
when they start, when they well, they started on December thirtieth.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
But there's an argument. It's vague.

Speaker 12 (22:06):
I mean, I think that whether you're Chief Crowley, who says, now, look.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
We kind of you know, are the weather services.

Speaker 12 (22:11):
Now we kind of told you guys, or if you're
Markquise Harris Dawson, the council president, or Marabas herself, you
do have wiggle room. You have some arguments to be made.
Because this is southern California. You've been here a long time.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
You know.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
You get winds, right, you get fire conditions, you get fires, right.
This was different.

Speaker 12 (22:27):
We did not get like the what did they call it,
the the particularly dangerous situation, which was very rare, that
didn't come until that Monday, right, but he.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Was already gone. But I gotta blow back here just
for a second. I heard on Saturday and Sunday that
there was going to be unbelievable wins.

Speaker 12 (22:45):
Yeah, exactly, And that's what I mean, Like we were
reporting this like, hey, the Weather Service is saying This
could be a really bad thing, so just be aware,
stay tuned. Nobody was told to evacuate yet or anything.
And those are not conditions that are rare to the region.
So that's what I mean by wiggle room, right, like
she could make an argument, but you might not buy.
But she hasn't exactly. He's really lost her way here.

(23:07):
The communication hasn't been great.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's right. Okay, let's get into another part of this
story real quickly. What's the total damage for all the homes?

Speaker 12 (23:16):
La County Economic Development Corporation and the Southern California Leadership
Council released a report today. They say that the property
damage alone, just the property damage the structures in both
in the Palisades and the Eaton Fires and Altadena are
about fifty eight fififty four or fifty four billion dollars.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
God.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah. And they project.

Speaker 12 (23:36):
That that does include infrastructure, right exactly. The public damage
is going to be larger as well. And then they're
projecting up to five years of job losses.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
In the area of about fifty thousand could be possible,
and loss of tourism.

Speaker 12 (23:48):
All of that, I lost a nine billion dollar impact
of the economy, loss of properties.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Being exchanged and tax rates going.

Speaker 12 (23:54):
Up, a lot of tax revenue down one point four
billion dollars in the tax loss to the government. You
know they care about this anywhere between seven hundred and
thirty million to one point four billion over five years.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I heard a firefighter talk about this. He said, if
you wanted to burn Pacific Palisades and Malibu, and you
wanted the perfect place to start that fire, you would
have started within three or four yards of where it
actually started. It's just crazy. The worst place to have
started a fire in the history of la.

Speaker 12 (24:22):
And that's what I mean about the wiggle room that
you have in the arguments, right, because it was terribly
dangerous conditions. A lot of things had to go right
for the fire. If you're on the side of the
fire and you want to do the most damage you can,
they had everything going for it.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, it was unbelievable. I can't believe that we you
know that we went through that and we're not out
of it yet.

Speaker 12 (24:42):
I mean, we've haven't even really begun. The rebuilding and
the political fallout is only getting juicier.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
And my prediction they are not going to let anybody
build any of those homes on the ocean again that
is over. Well.

Speaker 12 (24:55):
You remember Gray Davis, he was governor of California for
a while and it was recalled. But he's on the
Southern California Leadership Council as co chair with Catherine Barger,
the county supervisor, and he said today, you know, if
people want to come back to where they were, want
them to come back to where they were, Yeah, and
we should help them build as fast as they can.
But we have to make the houses stronger and more
fire resistant. And they've got to put in a sewer line.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
You know, all those homes out there are on septic
in Malibum, there's not a sewer line. So they should
put that sewer line so people can rebuild. If you
don't put the sewer line in, then you've got to read,
you've got to redo your entire you know, uh waste process.
You got to put a new tank in there, and
those new tanks have to be protected brought from the ocean.

(25:34):
And that's hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's not cheap
just for the just for the septic tank.

Speaker 12 (25:39):
Yeah, this is a very expensive disassle buddy, Thanks for
coming in.

ways time things on one say the Big Cap I
just heard a sponsor, which is Santa Anita and the
big cap big event out there This Saturday, day after
tomorrow is the Big Cap Day at Santannita. So slide
out there and enjoy sant Anita. If you don't, horse

(32:32):
racing will eventually go away. So you got to keep
it alive and you got to get out there and go.
So if you don't and they close that track in

April fifth is Santa Anita Derby. Slide out there for
both of them. Sanity Derby is always great and it's
usually the horse that wins the Sanita Derby is one
of the favorites in the Kentucky Derby. Sometimes sometimes I'll
have another one the Sanita Derby. And there was a
I think it was nineteen to one shot at thirty
eight to one shot in the Kentucky Derby and it

(33:16):
won the Kentucky Derby and it won the Preakness, and
then they pulled him out right before he won the Belmont,
which sucks. Could add a triple crown there. And I
think Doug O'Neill and Mike Smith, a Hall of Famer
jockey who is still riding and he's in his fifties
and he's still riding horses at sant Anita. I think

(33:37):
they're coming in tomorrow, so that'll be cool. That's great,
all right, Taylor Swift. We like to do a story
every day for crozieries of Swifty, and I like to
include him in the program. And so here's for Krozier.
This is for you, Bob action little news for you, dude.

Speaker 19 (33:55):
Now, how much would you pay for a Taylor Swift
inspired phone number.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
How do you know that means? I don't know what
that means. Did she buy a bunch of phone numbers
and she's selling them?

Speaker 4 (34:06):
I don't know?

Speaker 20 (34:07):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Did she buy, you know, eight hundred numbers? I don't know.
Let's find out.

Speaker 19 (34:13):
A company is selling vanity phone numbers inspired by the
Eras singer.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
They're going for hundreds, even thousands of dollars.

Speaker 19 (34:21):
Jacqueline Easton spent a year purchasing numbers related to Swift,
and one of them spelled out swifty after.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
The area code.

Speaker 19 (34:29):
Remember you, when you punch it in a number, it
can spell out a word.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Sure, I think we got that, Yeah.

Speaker 19 (34:34):
Swifty after the area code. Remember you, when you punch
it in a number, it can spell out a word.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Got it?

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Now?

Speaker 19 (34:39):
That one's going for fifty seven hundred dollars. The most
expensive numbers about one thousand dollars more than that. Other
numbers spell out phrases like eras tour and Ta trav
t trav.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, so I looked it up online. The ones that
aren't as popular the Taylor's Swift phone numbers. The area code.
Then I wear bangs. It's not as popular. Another one
here after the area code, Travis's Mom is hot. That's
another one that is not doing so well. And here's

(35:14):
another one after the area code. I wish Jason Kelsey
was on TV more. It's another one not doing that great.
It's like a lot. It's like a foreign phone number.
Call somebody in England.

Speaker 20 (35:33):
Out.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, that's right. Well, look in the United States, we
hook up with a guy and then we put him
in every commercial until we burn him out, and then
he's out. He's in nothing like who are the the
the football brothers that do that, the the Mannings, the
pyt Yeah, they're in everything. Every time you turn TV on,

(35:53):
they're on. They're selling you something I don't know. All Right,
we've got a he'd be careful how I say this
and rehearsal, I got it wrong twice. A sock eating dog.
Sock eater. He's a sock eating dog. I mixed up

(36:14):
the letters in rehearsal. I apologize.

Speaker 20 (36:17):
Well, we all know some dogs have a habit of
getting into things they're not supposed to eat.

Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Then there's Luna.

Speaker 20 (36:23):
The seven month old Bernice game her family in Corona
a scare when she started vomiting and her stomach was swollen.
Turns out, though Luna had an obsession with eating socks.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Oh my goodness, oh my god.

Speaker 20 (36:35):
Dodges rushed her to emergency surgery and pulled twenty four
socks from her stomach.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Is that possible?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Wow? Twenty four socks. Man, that's a lot of a
lot of socks. Are these clean socks? Use socks? Where
did she get that many socks? I don't know. How
filthy is that house where they have socks? You know,
at least twenty four of them laying around the house.

Speaker 20 (36:56):
Luna also had a scrunchy hair tise A inserts a wow,
and a small onesie lodged in her guns.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Do they ever feed this dog? I would take that
dog away from those people. Obviously, that dog's hungry.

Speaker 20 (37:11):
She's now back home recovering. The family says they plan
on puppy proofing the house.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah, you should have thought that before.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Yes, I think I'm feeding her now.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah, that's exactly my point. It came a little late,
but she knowed it, shenailed it.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Yes, are they I'm feeding her enough?

Speaker 7 (37:27):
I know?

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Well, some dogs. I mean I have a friend who
did this and we had to rush her to the
hospital and twenty twice, and it was twelve cat toys.
It was cat toys.

Speaker 13 (37:36):
She hates the cat, so she was eating the cat's
toys to get even with it, even I think, but twice.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, you know, we used to have our dog, Ernie.
We had we had two cats and two dogs. We
practically had a zoo when we were living in another
house in Burbank, and our dog would go out and
eat cat turns all day long. He literally, you know,
get out of fork and knife, put a bit and
chow down on cat turns. Got almighty, and I thought,

(38:06):
good on him. You know, guy really enjoys that. It's
a delicacy. I think it's an acquired taste.

Speaker 6 (38:12):
Other than Maryland, I lived in Calvert County, which is
like a lot of woods, and a neighbor asked me
at paper from time time when they went to vacation
to watch their dogs and their dogs because we're in
the woods, always had like ticks, giant ticks on them,
like full the blood.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Ticks, and they would eat the ticks off of each other.
One of the gas. They're great animals. But got her
lighting to oh my god, Oh that's that's even worse
than cat ass. Oh that's great. I can't take care
of your dogs, dope dogs. All right, We're live on
