🚗⚠️ Slow Down Out There — It’s Getting Wild on the Roads
People are driving like they’re in a video game, turning everyday streets into something out of Grand Theft Auto.
In brighter news, the Pastathon has now raised over $1 million and donations are still coming in. It’s also opening day at Big Bear Mountain.
Travel and wildlife brought unexpected chaos: A Delta flight had to return to LAX after a bird strike, and a raccoon got drunk after breaking into gin, vodka, and whiskey before passing out in a bathroom.
Elsewhere, a fire broke out at an apartment building in Venice, and AAA warns that with Christmas tree shopping peaking this weekend, many trees end up falling off vehicles. One father-in-law even hauled 2,000 trees to California—only for the truck to break down in 92° heat.
And in a mix of sports and science: Someone got kicked out of Staples Center, and a marine robotics company plans to resume the deep-sea search for missing flight MH370.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Will be
here with you until seven o'clock. So calm down, have
a cigarette if that's what you do, and relax. I
was driving home from the White House Restaurant after the
(00:22):
Katerina this club remote, and people were flying by me.
I was probably doing eighty and I was the slow
man on the five freeway.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Everybody else was.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Doing ninety ninety five, some one hundred, everybody passing me by.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I don't think I passed.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Maybe I don't know three cars and a lot of
guys do that. I'm sort of serpentine, you know, where
you move in from one lane to another and then
almost you know, kill somebody and then you maybe go
in the diamond lane for a second year.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You just trying to get home.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And they did a study on that, and those people
who do that you typically get home three to four
and a half minutes earlier than you would have if
you didn't do that. And what are you going to
do with your three minutes? What's another three minutes at home?
What does that look like? Three more minutes of you know, family,
(01:15):
Feud or maybe even the television show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I don't know, but it is odd.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
It is odd a lot of people moving around very
quickly in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And I have a theory that I think it's kids.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I think it's young people because I did a lot
of stupid things when I was younger, and I think
it's young people that do it. And I think they
do it because they they're gamers and they are looking
at these games a lot, and so they take that
game mentality under the freeway and then just continue it
(01:49):
on the freeway. But they don't realize if you get
an accident while you're gaming, you just walk away. If
you get an accident while you're on the freeway, sometimes
you don't. And so they learn real quick that it's
probably not a good move, probably not a good suite move.
But it's rough on those freeways, man. People really are moving,
(02:10):
really moving are We have Pastathon final numbers, or at
least numbers up until now, and they've been updated, so
we still have numbers coming in, money coming in, but
we are just over one point one million dollars for
the KFI Pastathon and ninety two thousand pounds of pasta
and sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's great, that's terrific. So we thank you very much
for doing that.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Everybody that showed up, everyone that donated, we can't thank
you enough. Especially there's an anonymous person. I guess it's
a person or people who donated, and they donated one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars from somebody who's anonymous. I would be screaming from
(02:55):
the top of this building for three years if I
donated one hundred fifty thousand dollars. First of all, we'd
be moving. If that happen, we'd be downsizing into something
very small.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But these are These are the not the final numbers.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
These are what we've raised so far without Wendy's, and
Wendy's is usually good for one hundred, one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Everyone that went out to Wendy's and
bought a five dollars coupon book that adds up, so
we may have another one hundred and fifty thousand coming
in there. And Smart and Final is also collecting money
through Sunday. If you're in California, Nevada, or Arizona and
(03:36):
so we'll have you know, more money coming in there,
so it might be one point three one point four million.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh that's a great uh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And it's really says something about this audience here at
KFI always always showing up for this, for this charity always,
so we can't thank you enough.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It I know it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It it's it sounds like, you know, we do the
same thing every year, and we thank you every year,
but this was a special year because this year there's
a lot of people out there that are hurting. There's
a lot of people out there that are underwater, there's
a lot of people out there that have lost their
jobs recently, a lot of companies are downsizing, and for
you to step up like this, oh it's great, it
(04:21):
really is terrific. So thank you so much for doing that.
You have no idea how much that means to Bruno
and everybody that works there and everybody here at iHeart.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. All Right, Big Bear,
we got good news.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I always like to start with some good news, you know,
because there's a lot of bad news out there. And
opening day, let's find out what's going on with the
opening day of Big Bear.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Well, I can tell you It was busy today, people
lining up at the parking lot starting around five.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Thirty this morning. They say, the main parking lot here
was pay You.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Love skiing if you're five thirty in the morning, so
you left your house.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
At two two thirty, ta get up there by five
five thirty, man, you love to ski.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Looking lot here was completely full by eight o'clock this morning.
Not a lot of snow up on the slopes right now,
the base only about a foot. But management here hopes
they'll be able to make snow for the next several nights,
which should make conditions better and better.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's the day.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Many skiers and snowboarders in southern California have been waiting
for yeah opening day at Bear Mountain Resort. Temperatures in
the low forties for most of the day with a
slight breeze, but the sun is shining. The sky's deep blue.
Excellent conditions for day one.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You can get up.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
There and ski now, everybody, or snowboard whatever you do
up there.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I got out here about six am.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I like to be the first guy up here. Were
you the first grade?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But a brag? I like to be the first guy
up here.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I like to be the first guy up here? Were
you the first?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But I think the better question is why why?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
It's a first? Of all, it's a Thursday, so.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You know he's not working right where he's taking the
day off or no school?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
School, no job, no school, no job.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But he likes to be the first guy to show
everybody he's not working and not going to school.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I like to be the first.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
I had like a ribbon that people skied through for
the f Is that right?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I like to be the first guy up here? Were
you the first?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I was not?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh so it even failed in that too, got almighty.
Guy's got nothing, no success in life, no job. I'm
not a student, and but I'm first on the ski slopes.
How'd you do this year? Twelve?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Okay I was not. There were people camping out here.
I got five runs already, that's like pretty good today.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
It was a good mix of locals as well as
people who drove up from all across southern California.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
We found out a couple days ago, I think just
through Instagram when they were actually opening.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, you know, it's really busy on a day on
opening day when there's one foot of snow. The ski
repair guy. Lots of you know, exposure to rocks and
branches and roots, and you carve those skis up pretty good.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And I was like, okay, so we're going. They have
no choice but to go. It's all right. Kind of icy,
A lot of people. Need more than one run open bit.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Wait a minute, what's the pitch here? What's the sales pitch?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Kind of icy?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Kind of icy? Not good? A lot of people, A
lot of people okay, strike too.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Need more than one run open bit.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And one run open? Is that what he said?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Need more than one run open?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay? So it's icy, crowded and one run is open.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
I saw one chick that was interviewing, maybe even that
same guy, and she was like, oh, you guys are
expecting it's gonna be epic out there, and he stuff,
and he goes, we don't use the E.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Word up here. We don't use the E word up here.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, with the foot of snow and nine hundred thousand
people there, I think he's right though, not to use
the E word, you know, because look, if you do
use the E word there, and I wouldn't even say it,
but if you do use the E word up there,
what do you reserve for the Swiss Alps.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
You know, what do you reserve for, you.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Know, snow Valley or Squaw Valley or they don't call
it that anymore, I guess, or or Aspen.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I don't think it called Squaw Valley anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
You might you probably.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I think they bailed on that.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Angel would know?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, Angel, you with us today?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No shut out?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Who's on?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Who's on traffic today?
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Rich Cassone? Okay, Pali states Tahoe is I believe what
it's called now, That's what it's called now. But apparently
there is a Squaw Valley alpine meadows that's still the Okay, Well,
all you click on the ligue and it says name change,
doesn't say what it is.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
It just said name change.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Okay, all right, well then they let's say Aspen and veil,
you know if you use, let's reserve epic for those
or steamboat springs, not you know, bare mountain with a
foot of snow, icy and nine hundred people we get
in southern California.
Speaker 10 (09:01):
I got my eight runs in and I'm done for
the day, and it's eleven thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Bad pacing is that man's life. Bad pacing need to
stretch it out a little time control, time pacing, pacing,
you know, time management.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That's what you need in life.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
There's only thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I appreciate that there's only.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Been one snowstorm up here so far this season.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
Yeah, and it was four weeks ago, and it wasn't
a really big one.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Ah christ a mighty man. This report. If I were
bear them Mountain, I wouldn't let these out. I wouldn't
let these reports out. I try to bury them. I
try to pay the reporters a couple hundred bucks to
maybe come back in three.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Months, but good enough to get started.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I don't know. I don't know. Icy one run open,
really crowded, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (09:50):
I don't know. So we did see a little bit
of snowfall in November, which was helpful, and then right
behind that we got a great run of snowmaking. We
even had the guns on until about eight o'clock this morning.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Spokesperson Justin Canton says, man made snow.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Got to what's his name with the spokesperson's then.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And spokesperson Justin Canton.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Justin Canton's got his work cut out for him. He's
because not only does he have to, you know, sell
this place to everybody. But he's got to, you know,
fend off these reporters that want to do stories.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Nick story story.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
What a bus this is?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Justin Canton says, man made snow can sometimes be better.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Wow, man, I love this guy. This guy's the tops man.
We got to get him working at kfive. This guy's great.
Man made snow is sometimes better than the real thing.
Oh that's awesome that guy. I'd love to see the guy.
Size of that guy's balls. I'd love to see that.
He's got to start working here, he would, he could
(10:49):
sell this place. Look if he can say that fake
snow is as good as real snow, that guy's the best.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He's the top in his field.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Justin Canton says, man made snow can sometimes speed better
than the kind provided by mother nature.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
All right, any evidence any examples of that.
Speaker 11 (11:07):
It's fun to see the snowfalling, but it doesn't always
come in the density you're looking for. So with our
equipment and our awesome snowmaking teams, we're able to actually
dial it up or down the density depending on what
we're looking to do. So typically we want to lay
a heavier layer down below for your base and then
have that lock in overnight.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
This guy's great man, and then we.
Speaker 11 (11:23):
Come behind that with the lighter fluff of your stuff
that people are enjoying today.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
All right, Okay, well this guy's the best.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
So Bear Mountain open today, Snow Summit opens tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Clive and Big Bear, Rod McMillen, ABC seven Iway Snood.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So head up to Bear Mountain.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's icy, one runs open, it's crowded, they haven't had
snow in a while, and there's only fake snow that's
being sold as good as real stuff. So found to
be see tomorrow excellent at Paramountain.
Speaker 12 (11:52):
Okay, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
We have a bird strike at Lax. Let's find out
what happened here, if any buy, if we have, everybody
made it, how inconvenient was it? And what happened to
the bird because a lot of times we don't get
the bird updates.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
This is the moment at Delta seven thirty seven struck
a bird as it's thundered down the runway during the
critical seconds of takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport. You
see a burst of smoke shoot out of the right engine.
The pilot immediately declaring an emergency power.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
That's a twenty six.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
Here six we hit a bird on departure that was
like it might.
Speaker 13 (12:35):
Be inner number two engine.
Speaker 12 (12:37):
We need to music clear.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
An emergency in return.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh no, that sounds serious.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I wonder why in twenty twenty five we can't get
the birds off the runway. We don't have them here
at KFI or at iHeartMedia because we have a hawk
that comes out two or three times a month and
finds the other birds and either eats them or chases
them off, and they should do that, lax. It seems
important to keep the birds away.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's one of the reasons why when you fly out
of any airport in the United States, the grass that
is between runways is always dead, or it's always pavement,
or you know, there's there. They try to make it
as unattractive as possible to wildlife. So it could look beautiful,
it could be grassy and nice with flowers or trees,
(13:24):
but they have to make it look really unattractive for
wild animals to come eat there and get caught up
with the flights and the planes.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's why it always looks like hell.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
That flight was bound for Seattle, with ninety nine passengers
and crew on board, climbing into the sky yesterday afternoon
with flames bursting from that engine.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh man, what a nightmare. Roger understand.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You just want to return as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That's correct, Yes, you nailed it. Thank you, we were
We want to come home.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Flight radar twenty four shows plane making a giant loop
over the Pacific Ocean in the city of Los Angeles before.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Safely returning to the airport.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
All the passengers later flew out on another plane, and
bird strikes are not uncommon, but the takeoff is certainly
a vulnerable time for a collision because pilot really had
to act quickly.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Pilot did a great job.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I don't know her name, they didn't say her name,
but she deserves an atta girl, very calm, got everybody
home safe and the bird probably didn't make it, but
she had a great calm voice about her power.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Twenty six six.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
We hit a bird on departure.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It was like a number two engine.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, very calm, you know, just sort of matter of fact,
And that's what you're looking for in that delta cockpit
or Southwest United American or I don't know whatever airline
you're on. You're looking for a calm person up there
to get everybody back home safe, and she did it.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Power twenty six six we hit a bird on departure.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was like an number two engine.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
We weren't need to need.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
To clin an emergency.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So whoever raised that woman, great job, great job. We
got a drunk raccoon. I saw this on the news
last night. He broke into a liquor store, had three
or four bomb fifths, one vodka, a whiskey, and some
kind of sweet and sour thing that he was drinking.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Then he was out.
Speaker 14 (15:20):
Authorities responded this past weekend to a break in at
a liquor store in Ashland, Virginia, but the perpetrator was
probably not who you might have suspected. It wasn't Willie
geis no look at that mess.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I paid for money.
Speaker 14 (15:33):
Broken bottles of gin, vodka and whiskey littering the aisles
was Carson there bottles of booze covering the concrete floors.
Turns out the burglar did not.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You think Willy Guice got pissed that she's openly calling
him a thief and an.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Alcoholist, and then she went on to Carson. Yeah, both
of them.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
She's like shots far.
Speaker 14 (15:51):
The burglar did not get far. They found him in
the restroom, passed out. A reckless raccoon that did all
that damage. Poor Life Choices certainly made the most of
It's nice paid the price. Animal control took him into custody.
After a few hours sobering up, he was released back
into the wild.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
How about that. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I've never brought a drinker store, but I can relate
to being on the bathroom stay the.
Speaker 14 (16:15):
Poor Life Choice or two Life, Yes, well years ago.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Hey, raccoon, they may have been drinking, but it sounds
like she's been smoking.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah. Who is is that? The bush? Is that the No?
Speaker 7 (16:26):
No, I can't remember what her name is this she's
the other one?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Is that the Today Show? Yeah? NBC MBC. Yeah, oh,
I I know who that is.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I can't remember her name, but yeah, she sort of
like has had that voice forever. Savannah Guthrie. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah,
she's been there a long time. She has Savannah Guthrie.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
That's smokey bully.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, it kind of sounds like she's been.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
That's Willie, Geis said, knocking him back, committing Carson Davity.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
They're drunkards.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Let's see where she nailed Willie.
Speaker 14 (16:52):
At a liquor store in Ashland, Virginia. But the perpetrator
was probably not who you might have suspected.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
It wasn't Willly.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Guys, Willie will look at that mess. I pay for
my broken I pay for my boody.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
That's great, man, all right, very good again. One point
one million from the pasta th on. We cannot thank
you enough. Everybody that donated, everybody that showed up really
really appreciate it. And we'll do it again next year.
Those kids, man, they're going to be Their eyes are
going to be full blown popping out of their heads
(17:30):
when they see that van.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Pull up with that beautiful, beautiful pasta.
Speaker 12 (17:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We had a small.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Fire in Venice and Chris Christie was high over the
scene there. It looks like a knockdown and things didn't
look like anyone got injured, anyone got killed, or the
building was a total loss. But a fire in Venice
is a unusual You know, right near the ocean there,
So that's news.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
That's news, I guess right. But the hell think dog with.
Speaker 13 (18:06):
The La City fire making quick work of a fire
and a tuplex on the first floor of that building
right there along abocinny Apocaccio Avenue. Right there you can
see firefighters inside the building opening up the walls here
putting the finishing touches on this one. Fortunately, no word
on any injuries or porting. Live Fare seven. I'm Chris Christy,
a PC seven News.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
All right, code for out there in Venice. It is over,
it's over all right. Let's talk about Christmas trees and
this is going to be the weekend. I read this
online that most people will buy their tree this weekend.
You'll go to your you know, your local store, your
local mom and pop that are from Oregon or Washington.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
They come down trees every year.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Where you go to that Low's or home depot, maybe
your Walmart sells them. I don't know where you go,
but you probably have some kind of tradition on what
you do for the tree. But it's this weekend. This
is going to be the big weekend. It's going to
be more trees sold this weekend than any other weekend
in the country.
Speaker 15 (19:05):
Triple A says, most people who transported a live Christmas
tree had it fall off or out of their vehicle.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
What the hell is going on with these people? So
here's some tips.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Wait, most people, more than fifty percent of the people
that went out and cut a tree had it fall
off their car.
Speaker 15 (19:22):
Triple A says, most people who transported a live Christmas
tree had it fall off or out of their vehicle.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I do not believe that that's that number is that high.
That's that's astronomical. That's fifty one percent of all trees.
I've never heard of that before in my life. I've
never seen a tree fall off. We've never had a
tree fall off in all my years buying a tree.
Never even come close. Because when you have a tree,
you tie it down and you drive carefully.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
That's how you keep the tree.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You don't hit the freeways going eighty miles an hour
for forty minutes to get it home.
Speaker 15 (19:58):
So here's some tips to bring your tree home safely.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, I don't think I need these.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
This is for you guys listening, because I got a
perfect record. I've never had a tree fall off a car.
Crowser if you had a tree fall off when you
bought a tree? No, no, nothing, right, I had to
think about it, but no, never, never have had a
tree fall off the car.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Flag.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, so this isn't for me, it's not for Krozier,
and it probably isn't for you either, But there are
some idiots out there.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Who've done this in the past. This is for you.
This is for you.
Speaker 15 (20:30):
Flag the end of the tree if it hangs away
from your vehicle, ask the lot to net the tree
to prevent damaged branches from falling out, and take the
back roads and go slow.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Okay, the worst advice in the world, just a low
level advice. My father in law has been involved in
many businesses in his life. Go get her out there,
you know, very lots of energy, ambitious, looking for the
next score.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I respect that.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I respect that, and he he bought one thousand Christmas
trees up in Oregon, one thousand. I rented an eighteen
wheeler and put all one thousand trees on the eighteen
wheeler to ship down here to California. One thousand trees.
So he spent ten bucks per tree. So it's ten
(21:22):
thousand dollars in trees, and the truck was probably about
two grand to bring him down here. So he's driving
himself and wants to save a couple of bucks there.
I'm the same way. I'm the same way. He's driving
him down, probably a big rider truck or U haul.
And in Sacramento the truck breaks down. And it was
(21:43):
about ninety two in Sacramento, and the truck was on
the side of the highway for three days.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So do I don't even think I have to tell you.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
The end of this story gets them down to La
all dead, all brown, all gone, good night. Ten twelve
thousand dollars gone.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That is great. That's a great story. That's a true story.
True story.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Can ask my wife, that's a true story. Heard dad, man,
He looked a score because you can sell those trees.
A ten dollar tree you buy an Oregon or Washington,
you could sell that tree for almost one hundred bucks.
So you could make literally ninety thousand dollars if you
sold all the trees. But when they're all dead, you're
(22:33):
out twelve grand, twelve thousand dollars gone, And the truck
still had to pay for the truck so I don't
think he ever did it again. I think that's a
one off when you lose that kind of dough and
you hope and pray that your daughter doesn't marry a
(22:54):
guy who does a radio show in LA and is
looking for material that's also a negative as well, and
she did that. So that's on that family. Yeah, but
those stories are great. You know, I almost got kicked
(23:14):
out of Staples Center with my daughter. I was up
on the third level. We just got them. Okay, when
I come back, I'm gonna tell you a story how
I got almost kicked out of Staples Center. And in retrospect,
I should have said, okay, then kick me out, kick
me and my daughter out. It would have been a
better story. It would have been a better story. But
(23:36):
my daughter and myself, we nearly got kicked out of
a Staple Center. And I'm gonna tell you how that happened,
what I did to kick me and my six then
fifteen year old daughter out of Staple Center. At one
point we were out, had to talk ourselves back in.
Why would they kick me and my daughter out of
Staple Center. I'll tell you what come back.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I nearly got kicked out at Staples Center.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I think I told this story in the air before,
so if you've heard it, maybe you can grab a cigarette.
But I went to a hockey game with my wife,
my daughter, and I wanted to show her the really
the seats that are way up high where you can
see the entire game. And I wanted to stop by
the press box to see if I could see a
butt of mine who works as a beat writer, and
(24:31):
he wasn't there, but we were way up a high
and you have to take two long escalators to get
up there. And when we got up there, she saw
one of these wetzel pretzel things and she said, hey,
can we get a wetzel pretz? Like, yeah, sure, what
the hell the bits or the pretz or whatever. And
it always comes with, you know, forty napkins because it's
(24:52):
basically dough with a lot of butter on the inside
and the outside and gets real messy. So I took
around thirty five forty napkins and they were coming down
the escalator at what was back then Staples Center now
it's Crypto dot Com. And right as I went to
get on the escalator. I tripped on the carpet and
I almost went over the edge. And if I would
(25:13):
have gone over the edge, I would have died, because
you cannot survive a sixty fifty sixty is fifty or
sixty foot fall.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's just impossible to survive them.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So I was tripping and I let the napkins go
so I can grab the railing and around forty napkins
flew down like tiny parachutes, like those little Army parachute guys,
all over the bottom floor. And I didn't think that
they saw me do it, but evidently there's cameras everywhere
at Crypto, so be aware of that gang. And I
(25:47):
got to the bottom and a security guard came up
to me and said, you're picking up all these napkins
or I'm throwing you and your daughter out of here.
And I said, yeah, but I tripped on your carpet
almost died. He goes, I don't care your picking up
all these napkins, or you're out of here, And in
that split second, I said okay, and like a coward,
(26:09):
I picked up the napkins. And as I was picking
them up, I heard somebody.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Go Hey, you want KFI. And I didn't even put
my head up. I just kept picking up napkins.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
In retrospect, I should have said, Fu, I almost died
and I'm not picking up these napkins. Maybe you should
fix the carpet up on the top of the third floor,
and that would have.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Been a better story.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Getting kicked out of Staples Center would have been much better.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But I didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I guess I thought, maybe I'm a better example for
my daughter if I go pick up all those napkins.
Probably a mistake. Probably a mistake, all right. Remember that
Malaysia airliner it was missing. It was Bill Carrol that
talked a lot about that. Remember he was on that
every day Bill Carroll. Remember that happened too?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was on the Brian stowecase and then he went
to the Malaysia Airline. And God, that happened must have
been ten years ago, I believe so. Yes, was it
ten years and they're still looking for that flight packed
with people it disappeared. Nobody knows what the hell happened
to this thing? Three seventy waitite flight three seven, well
(27:22):
flight three seventy Okay, does it say how many people
are on board.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Oh boy, you do all the work around here.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
But March twenty fourteen.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
Yeah, passengers occupants two thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Wow, that's a lot crew.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, Holy Christ, that's a lot of people that have
just disappeared and nobody knows where they are.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Maybe they're on some island, you know, maybe they're not
out of space.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Almost eleven years later. That is crazy. All right, let's
find out the new information here.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
For more than one thousand days, starting back at twenty fourteen,
search teams gour of the ocean looking for any sign
a Malaysia Airlines flight three seventy.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That's three years. They look for this plane every day
for three years.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Now.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
American company Ocean Infinity is about to resume the search
started earlier this year but then suspended due to weather,
using underwater drones to find the plane, its passengers and crew.
Malaysia has agreed to pay for the search, but only
if it's successful.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Okay, So Malaysia Airlines is going to pay seventy million
dollars to this crew that's looking for it, but only
if they find the plane.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I wonder how much it's going to cost them to
do this.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Oh, it's going to be a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's a gamble, yeah, totally big gamble. But there's a
payday at the end of its seventy million dollars. You
can find the sucker.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
What need to be done must be done.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
It was on March eighth, twenty fourteen, that the Bowling
Triple seven disappeared on the Red Eye from Kuala Lumphor
to Beijing. Radar and satellite data suggested the plane made
a sudden U turn, flew back over Malaysia, then turned south,
(29:07):
disappearing somewhere in the Southern Indian Ocean. The search zone
fifty eight hundred miles off the coast of Western Australia.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Do you hear that? How big?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
The search zone is? Fifty eight hundred square miles.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
The search zone fifty eight hundred miles off the coast
of Western Australia.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Over the years, small pieces of debris have washed ashore
in the Western Indian Ocean, on Francis or Union Island,
and on the beach in Madagascar, where in twenty sixteen
American Blaine Alan Gibson found a piece with the words
no step on it.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
It has no steps on it, as is written on
many aircraft.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Wings, and now the Malaysian authorities say the search for
MH three seventy will be carried out in targeted areas
assessed to have the highest probability of locating the aircraft.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
The airplane transmitted several panes up to the satellites. They've
been able to take that information and isolate down to
a relatively small area.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, a small area is fifty eight one hundred square miles.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
That's still a lot of space.
Speaker 10 (30:11):
The highest likelihood of where the wreckage actually is.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
The leading theory continues to be that the plane's captain,
a veteran Malaysian pilot, deliberately flew the plane into the ocean.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, he flipped out, took everyone down with them two
hundred and thirty nine miles.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That's what they think happened. This sucker.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Investigators found evidence on a flight simulator at home that
he practiced flying that same flight path.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
But what no one can answer is why.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
The Ocean Infinity did not respond to our request for comment.
But the government of Malaysia will pay the company seventy
million dollars if and only if substantive wreckage is found.
But this area they're searching, you guys as the size
of Connecticut, and if the wreckage is down there, it
may be three four five miles deep in my god
(30:55):
like mountain range. Recovering it may be extremely challenging.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Impossible, impossible. You can't even see down there. There's no
light to penetrates down there. How are you going to
see this thing?
Speaker 7 (31:05):
How did they say down it was I think sixty seven.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, it could be six three to seven miles below
the ocean.
Speaker 9 (31:11):
I was gonna say, well, they found the Titanic, But
the Titanic I just looked up was only about two
and a half miles down.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah. I was sitting on a ledge and it took
him one hundred years. And it was a very popular search.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
A lot of people are trying to look for that thing,
and they knew basically where it went down. You know,
they had some ideas, Yeah, right, this one they don't.
They have no idea.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Man.
Speaker 14 (31:31):
So I mean the search team, is it confident that
it can do this work? I mean you just laid
out how difficult it is.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
This, by the way, this is the same team that
found Shackleton's endeavorship a.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Few years back.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I don't know what that is, they think.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
They've got the technology the drones to do it, but
it is still such a vast expanse of ocean. And again,
you know, keep in mind the bottom of the sea
is a mountain range. And imagine trying to look for
a plane in the Swiss Alps.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
That's what they're doing.
Speaker 14 (32:01):
One that's been there twelve years.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, it's been there a long time, and there's no
light down there. And look, if you're a mile off,
that's like a thousand miles off.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
So that's wild.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
So there was a ship in nineteen twelve that sunk
that belonged to Ernest Shackleton. It was called the Endurance,
and it was found. It was finally discovered in twenty
twenty two. So that one took one hundred and ten years.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Yeah, alright, seven years after she sank. All right, shots
fired near Lakma in mill. Yeah, so we'll cover that. Yeah,
Miracle Mile area. Shots fired, some woman just firing up
in the air.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, is that what it was?
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Not the arrested her.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Okay, less than Miracle mile, less than Miracle on that mile.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Really hate those tar pits.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I live in a crazy world, man, all right, 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 need Time on demand on the
iHeartRadio app
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Will be
here with you until seven o'clock. So calm down, have
a cigarette if that's what you do, and relax. I
was driving home from the White House Restaurant after the
(00:22):
Katerina this club remote, and people were flying by me.
I was probably doing eighty and I was the slow
man on the five freeway.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Everybody else was.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Doing ninety ninety five, some one hundred, everybody passing me by.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I don't think I passed.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Maybe I don't know three cars and a lot of
guys do that. I'm sort of serpentine, you know, where
you move in from one lane to another and then
almost you know, kill somebody and then you maybe go
in the diamond lane for a second year.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You just trying to get home.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And they did a study on that, and those people
who do that you typically get home three to four
and a half minutes earlier than you would have if
you didn't do that. And what are you going to
do with your three minutes? What's another three minutes at home?
What does that look like? Three more minutes of you know, family,
(01:15):
Feud or maybe even the television show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I don't know, but it is odd.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
It is odd a lot of people moving around very
quickly in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And I have a theory that I think it's kids.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I think it's young people because I did a lot
of stupid things when I was younger, and I think
it's young people that do it. And I think they
do it because they they're gamers and they are looking
at these games a lot, and so they take that
game mentality under the freeway and then just continue it
(01:49):
on the freeway. But they don't realize if you get
an accident while you're gaming, you just walk away. If
you get an accident while you're on the freeway, sometimes
you don't. And so they learn real quick that it's
probably not a good move, probably not a good suite move.
But it's rough on those freeways, man. People really are moving,
(02:10):
really moving are We have Pastathon final numbers, or at
least numbers up until now, and they've been updated, so
we still have numbers coming in, money coming in, but
we are just over one point one million dollars for
the KFI Pastathon and ninety two thousand pounds of pasta
and sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's great, that's terrific. So we thank you very much
for doing that.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Everybody that showed up, everyone that donated, we can't thank
you enough. Especially there's an anonymous person. I guess it's
a person or people who donated, and they donated one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars from somebody who's anonymous. I would be screaming from
(02:55):
the top of this building for three years if I
donated one hundred fifty thousand dollars. First of all, we'd
be moving. If that happen, we'd be downsizing into something
very small.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But these are These are the not the final numbers.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
These are what we've raised so far without Wendy's, and
Wendy's is usually good for one hundred, one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Everyone that went out to Wendy's and
bought a five dollars coupon book that adds up, so
we may have another one hundred and fifty thousand coming
in there. And Smart and Final is also collecting money
through Sunday. If you're in California, Nevada, or Arizona and
(03:36):
so we'll have you know, more money coming in there,
so it might be one point three one point four million.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh that's a great uh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And it's really says something about this audience here at
KFI always always showing up for this, for this charity always,
so we can't thank you enough.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It I know it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It it's it sounds like, you know, we do the
same thing every year, and we thank you every year,
but this was a special year because this year there's
a lot of people out there that are hurting. There's
a lot of people out there that are underwater, there's
a lot of people out there that have lost their
jobs recently, a lot of companies are downsizing, and for
you to step up like this, oh it's great, it
(04:21):
really is terrific. So thank you so much for doing that.
You have no idea how much that means to Bruno
and everybody that works there and everybody here at iHeart.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. All Right, Big Bear,
we got good news.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I always like to start with some good news, you know,
because there's a lot of bad news out there. And
opening day, let's find out what's going on with the
opening day of Big Bear.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Well, I can tell you It was busy today, people
lining up at the parking lot starting around five.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Thirty this morning. They say, the main parking lot here
was pay You.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Love skiing if you're five thirty in the morning, so
you left your house.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
At two two thirty, ta get up there by five
five thirty, man, you love to ski.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Looking lot here was completely full by eight o'clock this morning.
Not a lot of snow up on the slopes right now,
the base only about a foot. But management here hopes
they'll be able to make snow for the next several nights,
which should make conditions better and better.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's the day.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Many skiers and snowboarders in southern California have been waiting
for yeah opening day at Bear Mountain Resort. Temperatures in
the low forties for most of the day with a
slight breeze, but the sun is shining. The sky's deep blue.
Excellent conditions for day one.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You can get up.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
There and ski now, everybody, or snowboard whatever you do
up there.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I got out here about six am.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I like to be the first guy up here. Were
you the first grade?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But a brag? I like to be the first guy
up here.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I like to be the first guy up here? Were
you the first?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But I think the better question is why why?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
It's a first? Of all, it's a Thursday, so.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You know he's not working right where he's taking the
day off or no school?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
School, no job, no school, no job.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But he likes to be the first guy to show
everybody he's not working and not going to school.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I like to be the first.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
I had like a ribbon that people skied through for
the f Is that right?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I like to be the first guy up here? Were
you the first?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I was not?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh so it even failed in that too, got almighty.
Guy's got nothing, no success in life, no job. I'm
not a student, and but I'm first on the ski slopes.
How'd you do this year? Twelve?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Okay I was not. There were people camping out here.
I got five runs already, that's like pretty good today.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
It was a good mix of locals as well as
people who drove up from all across southern California.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
We found out a couple days ago, I think just
through Instagram when they were actually opening.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, you know, it's really busy on a day on
opening day when there's one foot of snow. The ski
repair guy. Lots of you know, exposure to rocks and
branches and roots, and you carve those skis up pretty good.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And I was like, okay, so we're going. They have
no choice but to go. It's all right. Kind of icy,
A lot of people. Need more than one run open bit.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Wait a minute, what's the pitch here? What's the sales pitch?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Kind of icy?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Kind of icy? Not good? A lot of people, A
lot of people okay, strike too.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Need more than one run open bit.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And one run open? Is that what he said?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Need more than one run open?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay? So it's icy, crowded and one run is open.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
I saw one chick that was interviewing, maybe even that
same guy, and she was like, oh, you guys are
expecting it's gonna be epic out there, and he stuff,
and he goes, we don't use the E.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Word up here. We don't use the E word up here.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, with the foot of snow and nine hundred thousand
people there, I think he's right though, not to use
the E word, you know, because look, if you do
use the E word there, and I wouldn't even say it,
but if you do use the E word up there,
what do you reserve for the Swiss Alps.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
You know, what do you reserve for, you.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Know, snow Valley or Squaw Valley or they don't call
it that anymore, I guess, or or Aspen.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I don't think it called Squaw Valley anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
You might you probably.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I think they bailed on that.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Angel would know?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, Angel, you with us today?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No shut out?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Who's on?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Who's on traffic today?
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Rich Cassone? Okay, Pali states Tahoe is I believe what
it's called now, That's what it's called now. But apparently
there is a Squaw Valley alpine meadows that's still the Okay, Well,
all you click on the ligue and it says name change,
doesn't say what it is.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
It just said name change.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Okay, all right, well then they let's say Aspen and veil,
you know if you use, let's reserve epic for those
or steamboat springs, not you know, bare mountain with a
foot of snow, icy and nine hundred people we get
in southern California.
Speaker 10 (09:01):
I got my eight runs in and I'm done for
the day, and it's eleven thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Bad pacing is that man's life. Bad pacing need to
stretch it out a little time control, time pacing, pacing,
you know, time management.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That's what you need in life.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
There's only thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I appreciate that there's only.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Been one snowstorm up here so far this season.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
Yeah, and it was four weeks ago, and it wasn't
a really big one.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Ah christ a mighty man. This report. If I were
bear them Mountain, I wouldn't let these out. I wouldn't
let these reports out. I try to bury them. I
try to pay the reporters a couple hundred bucks to
maybe come back in three.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Months, but good enough to get started.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I don't know. I don't know. Icy one run open,
really crowded, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (09:50):
I don't know. So we did see a little bit
of snowfall in November, which was helpful, and then right
behind that we got a great run of snowmaking. We
even had the guns on until about eight o'clock this morning.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Spokesperson Justin Canton says, man made snow.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Got to what's his name with the spokesperson's then.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And spokesperson Justin Canton.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Justin Canton's got his work cut out for him. He's
because not only does he have to, you know, sell
this place to everybody. But he's got to, you know,
fend off these reporters that want to do stories.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Nick story story.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
What a bus this is?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Justin Canton says, man made snow can sometimes be better.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Wow, man, I love this guy. This guy's the tops man.
We got to get him working at kfive. This guy's great.
Man made snow is sometimes better than the real thing.
Oh that's awesome that guy. I'd love to see the guy.
Size of that guy's balls. I'd love to see that.
He's got to start working here, he would, he could
(10:49):
sell this place. Look if he can say that fake
snow is as good as real snow, that guy's the best.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He's the top in his field.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Justin Canton says, man made snow can sometimes speed better
than the kind provided by mother nature.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
All right, any evidence any examples of that.
Speaker 11 (11:07):
It's fun to see the snowfalling, but it doesn't always
come in the density you're looking for. So with our
equipment and our awesome snowmaking teams, we're able to actually
dial it up or down the density depending on what
we're looking to do. So typically we want to lay
a heavier layer down below for your base and then
have that lock in overnight.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
This guy's great man, and then we.
Speaker 11 (11:23):
Come behind that with the lighter fluff of your stuff
that people are enjoying today.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
All right, Okay, well this guy's the best.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
So Bear Mountain open today, Snow Summit opens tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Clive and Big Bear, Rod McMillen, ABC seven Iway Snood.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So head up to Bear Mountain.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's icy, one runs open, it's crowded, they haven't had
snow in a while, and there's only fake snow that's
being sold as good as real stuff. So found to
be see tomorrow excellent at Paramountain.
Speaker 12 (11:52):
Okay, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
We have a bird strike at Lax. Let's find out
what happened here, if any buy, if we have, everybody
made it, how inconvenient was it? And what happened to
the bird because a lot of times we don't get
the bird updates.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
This is the moment at Delta seven thirty seven struck
a bird as it's thundered down the runway during the
critical seconds of takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport. You
see a burst of smoke shoot out of the right engine.
The pilot immediately declaring an emergency power.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
That's a twenty six.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
Here six we hit a bird on departure that was
like it might.
Speaker 13 (12:35):
Be inner number two engine.
Speaker 12 (12:37):
We need to music clear.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
An emergency in return.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh no, that sounds serious.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I wonder why in twenty twenty five we can't get
the birds off the runway. We don't have them here
at KFI or at iHeartMedia because we have a hawk
that comes out two or three times a month and
finds the other birds and either eats them or chases
them off, and they should do that, lax. It seems
important to keep the birds away.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's one of the reasons why when you fly out
of any airport in the United States, the grass that
is between runways is always dead, or it's always pavement,
or you know, there's there. They try to make it
as unattractive as possible to wildlife. So it could look beautiful,
it could be grassy and nice with flowers or trees,
(13:24):
but they have to make it look really unattractive for
wild animals to come eat there and get caught up
with the flights and the planes.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's why it always looks like hell.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
That flight was bound for Seattle, with ninety nine passengers
and crew on board, climbing into the sky yesterday afternoon
with flames bursting from that engine.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh man, what a nightmare. Roger understand.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You just want to return as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That's correct, Yes, you nailed it. Thank you, we were
We want to come home.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Flight radar twenty four shows plane making a giant loop
over the Pacific Ocean in the city of Los Angeles before.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Safely returning to the airport.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
All the passengers later flew out on another plane, and
bird strikes are not uncommon, but the takeoff is certainly
a vulnerable time for a collision because pilot really had
to act quickly.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Pilot did a great job.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I don't know her name, they didn't say her name,
but she deserves an atta girl, very calm, got everybody
home safe and the bird probably didn't make it, but
she had a great calm voice about her power.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Twenty six six.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
We hit a bird on departure.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It was like a number two engine.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, very calm, you know, just sort of matter of fact,
And that's what you're looking for in that delta cockpit
or Southwest United American or I don't know whatever airline
you're on. You're looking for a calm person up there
to get everybody back home safe, and she did it.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Power twenty six six we hit a bird on departure.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was like an number two engine.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
We weren't need to need.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
To clin an emergency.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So whoever raised that woman, great job, great job. We
got a drunk raccoon. I saw this on the news
last night. He broke into a liquor store, had three
or four bomb fifths, one vodka, a whiskey, and some
kind of sweet and sour thing that he was drinking.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Then he was out.
Speaker 14 (15:20):
Authorities responded this past weekend to a break in at
a liquor store in Ashland, Virginia, but the perpetrator was
probably not who you might have suspected. It wasn't Willie
geis no look at that mess.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I paid for money.
Speaker 14 (15:33):
Broken bottles of gin, vodka and whiskey littering the aisles
was Carson there bottles of booze covering the concrete floors.
Turns out the burglar did not.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You think Willy Guice got pissed that she's openly calling
him a thief and an.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Alcoholist, and then she went on to Carson. Yeah, both
of them.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
She's like shots far.
Speaker 14 (15:51):
The burglar did not get far. They found him in
the restroom, passed out. A reckless raccoon that did all
that damage. Poor Life Choices certainly made the most of
It's nice paid the price. Animal control took him into custody.
After a few hours sobering up, he was released back
into the wild.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
How about that. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I've never brought a drinker store, but I can relate
to being on the bathroom stay the.
Speaker 14 (16:15):
Poor Life Choice or two Life, Yes, well years ago.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Hey, raccoon, they may have been drinking, but it sounds
like she's been smoking.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah. Who is is that? The bush? Is that the No?
Speaker 7 (16:26):
No, I can't remember what her name is this she's
the other one?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Is that the Today Show? Yeah? NBC MBC. Yeah, oh,
I I know who that is.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I can't remember her name, but yeah, she sort of
like has had that voice forever. Savannah Guthrie. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah,
she's been there a long time. She has Savannah Guthrie.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
That's smokey bully.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, it kind of sounds like she's been.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
That's Willie, Geis said, knocking him back, committing Carson Davity.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
They're drunkards.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Let's see where she nailed Willie.
Speaker 14 (16:52):
At a liquor store in Ashland, Virginia. But the perpetrator
was probably not who you might have suspected.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
It wasn't Willly.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Guys, Willie will look at that mess. I pay for
my broken I pay for my boody.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
That's great, man, all right, very good again. One point
one million from the pasta th on. We cannot thank
you enough. Everybody that donated, everybody that showed up really
really appreciate it. And we'll do it again next year.
Those kids, man, they're going to be Their eyes are
going to be full blown popping out of their heads
(17:30):
when they see that van.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Pull up with that beautiful, beautiful pasta.
Speaker 12 (17:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We had a small.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Fire in Venice and Chris Christie was high over the
scene there. It looks like a knockdown and things didn't
look like anyone got injured, anyone got killed, or the
building was a total loss. But a fire in Venice
is a unusual You know, right near the ocean there,
So that's news.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
That's news, I guess right. But the hell think dog with.
Speaker 13 (18:06):
The La City fire making quick work of a fire
and a tuplex on the first floor of that building
right there along abocinny Apocaccio Avenue. Right there you can
see firefighters inside the building opening up the walls here
putting the finishing touches on this one. Fortunately, no word
on any injuries or porting. Live Fare seven. I'm Chris Christy,
a PC seven News.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
All right, code for out there in Venice. It is over,
it's over all right. Let's talk about Christmas trees and
this is going to be the weekend. I read this
online that most people will buy their tree this weekend.
You'll go to your you know, your local store, your
local mom and pop that are from Oregon or Washington.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
They come down trees every year.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Where you go to that Low's or home depot, maybe
your Walmart sells them. I don't know where you go,
but you probably have some kind of tradition on what
you do for the tree. But it's this weekend. This
is going to be the big weekend. It's going to
be more trees sold this weekend than any other weekend
in the country.
Speaker 15 (19:05):
Triple A says, most people who transported a live Christmas
tree had it fall off or out of their vehicle.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
What the hell is going on with these people? So
here's some tips.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Wait, most people, more than fifty percent of the people
that went out and cut a tree had it fall
off their car.
Speaker 15 (19:22):
Triple A says, most people who transported a live Christmas
tree had it fall off or out of their vehicle.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I do not believe that that's that number is that high.
That's that's astronomical. That's fifty one percent of all trees.
I've never heard of that before in my life. I've
never seen a tree fall off. We've never had a
tree fall off in all my years buying a tree.
Never even come close. Because when you have a tree,
you tie it down and you drive carefully.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
That's how you keep the tree.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You don't hit the freeways going eighty miles an hour
for forty minutes to get it home.
Speaker 15 (19:58):
So here's some tips to bring your tree home safely.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, I don't think I need these.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
This is for you guys listening, because I got a
perfect record. I've never had a tree fall off a car.
Crowser if you had a tree fall off when you
bought a tree? No, no, nothing, right, I had to
think about it, but no, never, never have had a
tree fall off the car.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Flag.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, so this isn't for me, it's not for Krozier,
and it probably isn't for you either, But there are
some idiots out there.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Who've done this in the past. This is for you.
This is for you.
Speaker 15 (20:30):
Flag the end of the tree if it hangs away
from your vehicle, ask the lot to net the tree
to prevent damaged branches from falling out, and take the
back roads and go slow.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Okay, the worst advice in the world, just a low
level advice. My father in law has been involved in
many businesses in his life. Go get her out there,
you know, very lots of energy, ambitious, looking for the
next score.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I respect that.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I respect that, and he he bought one thousand Christmas
trees up in Oregon, one thousand. I rented an eighteen
wheeler and put all one thousand trees on the eighteen
wheeler to ship down here to California. One thousand trees.
So he spent ten bucks per tree. So it's ten
(21:22):
thousand dollars in trees, and the truck was probably about
two grand to bring him down here. So he's driving
himself and wants to save a couple of bucks there.
I'm the same way. I'm the same way. He's driving
him down, probably a big rider truck or U haul.
And in Sacramento the truck breaks down. And it was
(21:43):
about ninety two in Sacramento, and the truck was on
the side of the highway for three days.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So do I don't even think I have to tell you.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
The end of this story gets them down to La
all dead, all brown, all gone, good night. Ten twelve
thousand dollars gone.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That is great. That's a great story. That's a true story.
True story.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Can ask my wife, that's a true story. Heard dad, man,
He looked a score because you can sell those trees.
A ten dollar tree you buy an Oregon or Washington,
you could sell that tree for almost one hundred bucks.
So you could make literally ninety thousand dollars if you
sold all the trees. But when they're all dead, you're
(22:33):
out twelve grand, twelve thousand dollars gone, And the truck
still had to pay for the truck so I don't
think he ever did it again. I think that's a
one off when you lose that kind of dough and
you hope and pray that your daughter doesn't marry a
(22:54):
guy who does a radio show in LA and is
looking for material that's also a negative as well, and
she did that. So that's on that family. Yeah, but
those stories are great. You know, I almost got kicked
(23:14):
out of Staples Center with my daughter. I was up
on the third level. We just got them. Okay, when
I come back, I'm gonna tell you a story how
I got almost kicked out of Staples Center. And in retrospect,
I should have said, okay, then kick me out, kick
me and my daughter out. It would have been a
better story. It would have been a better story. But
(23:36):
my daughter and myself, we nearly got kicked out of
a Staple Center. And I'm gonna tell you how that happened,
what I did to kick me and my six then
fifteen year old daughter out of Staple Center. At one
point we were out, had to talk ourselves back in.
Why would they kick me and my daughter out of
Staple Center. I'll tell you what come back.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I nearly got kicked out at Staples Center.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I think I told this story in the air before,
so if you've heard it, maybe you can grab a cigarette.
But I went to a hockey game with my wife,
my daughter, and I wanted to show her the really
the seats that are way up high where you can
see the entire game. And I wanted to stop by
the press box to see if I could see a
butt of mine who works as a beat writer, and
(24:31):
he wasn't there, but we were way up a high
and you have to take two long escalators to get
up there. And when we got up there, she saw
one of these wetzel pretzel things and she said, hey,
can we get a wetzel pretz? Like, yeah, sure, what
the hell the bits or the pretz or whatever. And
it always comes with, you know, forty napkins because it's
(24:52):
basically dough with a lot of butter on the inside
and the outside and gets real messy. So I took
around thirty five forty napkins and they were coming down
the escalator at what was back then Staples Center now
it's Crypto dot Com. And right as I went to
get on the escalator. I tripped on the carpet and
I almost went over the edge. And if I would
(25:13):
have gone over the edge, I would have died, because
you cannot survive a sixty fifty sixty is fifty or
sixty foot fall.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's just impossible to survive them.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So I was tripping and I let the napkins go
so I can grab the railing and around forty napkins
flew down like tiny parachutes, like those little Army parachute guys,
all over the bottom floor. And I didn't think that
they saw me do it, but evidently there's cameras everywhere
at Crypto, so be aware of that gang. And I
(25:47):
got to the bottom and a security guard came up
to me and said, you're picking up all these napkins
or I'm throwing you and your daughter out of here.
And I said, yeah, but I tripped on your carpet
almost died. He goes, I don't care your picking up
all these napkins, or you're out of here, And in
that split second, I said okay, and like a coward,
(26:09):
I picked up the napkins. And as I was picking
them up, I heard somebody.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Go Hey, you want KFI. And I didn't even put
my head up. I just kept picking up napkins.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
In retrospect, I should have said, Fu, I almost died
and I'm not picking up these napkins. Maybe you should
fix the carpet up on the top of the third floor,
and that would have.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Been a better story.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Getting kicked out of Staples Center would have been much better.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But I didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I guess I thought, maybe I'm a better example for
my daughter if I go pick up all those napkins.
Probably a mistake. Probably a mistake, all right. Remember that
Malaysia airliner it was missing. It was Bill Carrol that
talked a lot about that. Remember he was on that
every day Bill Carroll. Remember that happened too?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was on the Brian stowecase and then he went
to the Malaysia Airline. And God, that happened must have
been ten years ago, I believe so. Yes, was it
ten years and they're still looking for that flight packed
with people it disappeared. Nobody knows what the hell happened
to this thing? Three seventy waitite flight three seven, well
(27:22):
flight three seventy Okay, does it say how many people
are on board.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Oh boy, you do all the work around here.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
But March twenty fourteen.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
Yeah, passengers occupants two thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Wow, that's a lot crew.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, Holy Christ, that's a lot of people that have
just disappeared and nobody knows where they are.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Maybe they're on some island, you know, maybe they're not
out of space.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Almost eleven years later. That is crazy. All right, let's
find out the new information here.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
For more than one thousand days, starting back at twenty fourteen,
search teams gour of the ocean looking for any sign
a Malaysia Airlines flight three seventy.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That's three years. They look for this plane every day
for three years.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Now.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
American company Ocean Infinity is about to resume the search
started earlier this year but then suspended due to weather,
using underwater drones to find the plane, its passengers and crew.
Malaysia has agreed to pay for the search, but only
if it's successful.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Okay, So Malaysia Airlines is going to pay seventy million
dollars to this crew that's looking for it, but only
if they find the plane.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I wonder how much it's going to cost them to
do this.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Oh, it's going to be a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's a gamble, yeah, totally big gamble. But there's a
payday at the end of its seventy million dollars. You
can find the sucker.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
What need to be done must be done.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
It was on March eighth, twenty fourteen, that the Bowling
Triple seven disappeared on the Red Eye from Kuala Lumphor
to Beijing. Radar and satellite data suggested the plane made
a sudden U turn, flew back over Malaysia, then turned south,
(29:07):
disappearing somewhere in the Southern Indian Ocean. The search zone
fifty eight hundred miles off the coast of Western Australia.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Do you hear that? How big?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
The search zone is? Fifty eight hundred square miles.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
The search zone fifty eight hundred miles off the coast
of Western Australia.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Over the years, small pieces of debris have washed ashore
in the Western Indian Ocean, on Francis or Union Island,
and on the beach in Madagascar, where in twenty sixteen
American Blaine Alan Gibson found a piece with the words
no step on it.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
It has no steps on it, as is written on
many aircraft.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Wings, and now the Malaysian authorities say the search for
MH three seventy will be carried out in targeted areas
assessed to have the highest probability of locating the aircraft.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
The airplane transmitted several panes up to the satellites. They've
been able to take that information and isolate down to
a relatively small area.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, a small area is fifty eight one hundred square miles.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
That's still a lot of space.
Speaker 10 (30:11):
The highest likelihood of where the wreckage actually is.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
The leading theory continues to be that the plane's captain,
a veteran Malaysian pilot, deliberately flew the plane into the ocean.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, he flipped out, took everyone down with them two
hundred and thirty nine miles.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That's what they think happened. This sucker.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Investigators found evidence on a flight simulator at home that
he practiced flying that same flight path.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
But what no one can answer is why.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
The Ocean Infinity did not respond to our request for comment.
But the government of Malaysia will pay the company seventy
million dollars if and only if substantive wreckage is found.
But this area they're searching, you guys as the size
of Connecticut, and if the wreckage is down there, it
may be three four five miles deep in my god
(30:55):
like mountain range. Recovering it may be extremely challenging.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Impossible, impossible. You can't even see down there. There's no
light to penetrates down there. How are you going to
see this thing?
Speaker 7 (31:05):
How did they say down it was I think sixty seven.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, it could be six three to seven miles below
the ocean.
Speaker 9 (31:11):
I was gonna say, well, they found the Titanic, But
the Titanic I just looked up was only about two
and a half miles down.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah. I was sitting on a ledge and it took
him one hundred years. And it was a very popular search.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
A lot of people are trying to look for that thing,
and they knew basically where it went down. You know,
they had some ideas, Yeah, right, this one they don't.
They have no idea.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Man.
Speaker 14 (31:31):
So I mean the search team, is it confident that
it can do this work? I mean you just laid
out how difficult it is.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
This, by the way, this is the same team that
found Shackleton's endeavorship a.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Few years back.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I don't know what that is, they think.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
They've got the technology the drones to do it, but
it is still such a vast expanse of ocean. And again,
you know, keep in mind the bottom of the sea
is a mountain range. And imagine trying to look for
a plane in the Swiss Alps.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
