You heard Scott in the news talking about the water
(01:02):
main that broke UH Porter of Ranch Granada Hills and
what a mess that is if you are in that area.
They're they're saying, you know, don't try to turn your
water on because they have to try to repressurize all
the pipes and they're trying to get the water main
fixed after.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Days of dry faucets in this Granada Hills neighborhood. This
was the last thing Bartan and loosing Aarian expected to
see on their security camera Saturday an night.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What is yours home?
Speaker 7 (01:27):
And we're very lucky that no one of my grandkids
were here and they were like otherwise they would have
been that they were goodness survived this water.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
The Musarians live near the corner of Balboa and Cesenen Boulevards,
where the LEDWP says a pressure spike caused a temporary
connection to blow out, sending a gate and tops of
trees flying down the street.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
That was scary.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
And causing extensive damage to the family's longtime home.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
You can't water from here.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I mean, you hear about flash flooding, but you don't
expect to happen when it's not raining, right.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Anything could have.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Happened to my grandkids. They could have been hair playing
with the door, then you know something came to their head.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
They're Notata Hills has been suffering for about a week now.
No water, rashing water, go, don't use water.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And now you always see these thousands of gallons of
water just going.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
It's a waste.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Oh have you ever had to go without water? Helly
you ever. Have you ever been to place where it's like, hey,
the water's.
Speaker 9 (02:33):
Out, Oh yeah, and then awful, all of a sudden,
you realize just how often.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
You use water.
Speaker 9 (02:41):
Yeah, there was one time I thought all my bills
were on autopay, back when I was rich, and I
had all my bills except for my water bill, and
I called the water company cursing them to shreds because
I paid my water bill on autopay and I am
proud of that. Anyway, it turns out that bill was
not on autopay. I did not pay my bill, and
I was like, three days without water was awful.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, it wasn't cool.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
What did you do go to the gym and shower
and stuff for Well.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, that's when I lived in Jersey.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
My brothers and family lived like right down the street,
so I'll just go over their house and do all
my business and then you know this guy back.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, no, it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I had water go out at my place this week,
unrelated to this, and because I look, I'm classy, I
live in an apartment complex and I'm cheap, and uh,
somebody in one of the other apartments there, I don't
know if they had a fire or if whatever it was,
fire alarms star's going off at six thirty in the morning,
We're all standing out by the road, and the fire
(03:38):
department was on it. I mean they got there in
under an hour, and you know they I mean, the
nearest fire department is almost a mile and a half away,
so you can understand why it would take an hour
to get there. In the meantime, my son and I,
who were already awake, we said, let's go get some
breakfast burritos. We did, came back, fire department still wasn't
there yet. Anyway, when it finally got the you know,
they finally turned the alarm off.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Then we find out that one of the other apartments.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Don't know if there was a fire or what, but
that we know the sprinklers went off and it made
this hillacious mess all.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Over the place.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
So earlier this week, fortunately I got up early and
I had taken my shower and stuff. But I was
I was on the commode, and I'm a fancy guy
who uses a bidet, and all of a sudden, the
pressure was gone out of my bidet, and I went,
this is not good. I'm going to have to go
back to like the nineteen hundreds and use teepee and
that was a horrible experience for me.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
So that's that's what it's like. Yep.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, So I'm sure you can all relate. So
what that's all about? No, but then you all of
a sudden you go, thank goodness, I took a shower,
and thank goodness there's enough water in the tank to
be able to flush, because if there isn't, then you're
out of luck. And for the people in Granada Hills area,
(04:55):
it's not like you can go find some other water
to you know, manually fly your toilet.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Have you ever had to do that?
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Like, we don't have to open the back of the
toilet and then pour water in there.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Oh god, No, you did not do it. You didn't
do it that way, did you.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
No, that's like a plumbing No.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, of course, you just pour it straight in the
bowl and it will flush itself.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
No, it won't, it'll flow.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
No, it will not. Really yes, wow.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So when I was uh, my wife and I were
were going hardcore and living in a in an RV
at my parents place.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
They have this place.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I was literally living in a caravan down by the river.
They've got this little river that runs in front of
their house. They're back in the woods, Sister Kissing country,
this kind of thing. And if we lost power, that
meant that the well, the well couldn't pump water, and
so we didn't have any water. So not only do
we lose power, we also didn't have any water. So
that meant that we took five gallon buckets down to
the river and we were we were humping these five
(05:53):
gallon buckets up the bank to the house so that
we could use the buckets and pour them into the
toilet to flush. You can't do that out of hills
where you're gonna get the water, you can't do that.
So then I guess what do you do? Hopefully you've
got family nearby, right Anyway, they say that this could
go throughout the weekend. They had this another main break,
I guess as they were trying to fix this one.
And it's just been what a disaster, what an absolute disaster.
(06:18):
I mean, it's one of those things that they're gonna
talk about like HeLa, did you know, It's like, well,
I'd go three days without water, I'd go a week
without water.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's the worst absolutely the worst. My heart goes out
to you, so sorry you're having to deal with that.
That is terrible. And there's gonna be more of this too,
because all of our all of our pipes are on
hundred years old, right. I mean, as the city was expanding,
they started putting in these pipes and and they go, oh,
these pipes will last one hundred years.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Well, guess what we're coming up on.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
All of a sudden, We're starting to say one hundred years,
one hundred years in this neighborhood, hundred years in that
neighborhoode hundred years in this neighborhood, and we're gonna start
seeing some failures. It's gonna happen more and more. Just
get used to it. Get used to it. Uh, where
are we here?
Speaker 7 (06:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Because the show got started a little bit late. I
hope this is all right with you. I did not
run this by producer Kayla at all, though I would
prefer not to talk any politics tonight, if that's okay
with you.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
You know, that's like my favorite segment of the show.
But if we have to sacrifice it, then you'd be
all right. I'll be a team player. Yeah, let's do that,
all right? Very good, So we'll do that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
We will do LA Law, which is the law makers,
the law breakers, the times that there ought to be
a law. And as always, we open up the iHeart
App and if you hit the talkback button, here's your
question tonight. In our LA Law segment, We've got a
story about le Boo Boo and if you're unfamiliar with
le Boo Boo, you're about to find out and then
you'll wish that you hadn't. It is this latest I
guess toy craze. So our question related to that, what
(07:47):
is something that what is the craze that you never
really understood or what is the craze you wish would
come back? I was at the I was at Albertsons
today and I saw they were selling Beanie Baby at
the grocery store.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
What a time, Yeah, what a time.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I was surprised that those are still around, but evidently
can still get Beanie Baby. So what is the craze
you never understood or what is the craze you wish
would come back? That as your talk back today, if
you're listening on the iHeart app, just go ahead hit
that talk back button let us know. And in the meantime,
we'll check on your news and then we'll hit the lawmakers,
law breakers, and the times that there ought to be
a law Next Chris Merril, I AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
We're live everywhere in the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Chris Merril, KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk and
nine demand anytime and the iHeart Radio App. What is
the craze you never understood or what is the craze
that you wish that would come back? The reason we
ask is because of this story as part of our segment,
the features the lawmakers, the lawbreakers, and the times that
there ought to be a law. So it was this
(09:03):
week that I found out what le Booboo was. I
did not know, and my apologies for my naievete but
I have been educated. Le Booboo is not a knockoff
AB what do they call that FABLETICX brand? I thought
it was.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
It is not. It is the latest craze.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It is basically troll dolls, meet the Gremlins, meet the Teletubbies.
I actually saw a sample of one of these. Somebody
in my office had one. I lost all respect for her.
It's about five inch high, demon beast thing. It looks
(09:49):
like a troll doll. It's got the hair of a
troll doll. It's got the face of a gremlin, and
it's got the body of a teletubby. It's hideous. It
is the absolute ugliest thing. And the only thing that
I can figure out is that somehow these things have
become so hideous that people thought they were cute, kind
(10:10):
of like that ugliest dog contest, you know where people
you heard Scott Carr talking about the ugliest dog contests,
and it's like some people find the really ugly dog
super cute. That's the only thing I can figure out
with these things. They are hideous. So if you didn't
know what they are, now you do. If you didn't
know what they are. Hopefully, hopefully my description was up
to par. It's been described in news as a tooth
(10:32):
lee gremlin looking plush toy. They've exploded in popularity, and
I see that some people are taking and putting these
stupid things on their designer purses, so they're hanging them
almost like a charm. Now for clarity, these little dolls
that look like the kind of things that would be
rejected as prizes in the crane game at the county Fair.
(10:54):
They are selling for anywhere from twenty five dollars to
fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I don't understand it at all.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So our question on the talk back what is the
craze you never understood or what is the craze that
you wish would come back for me? The one I
don't understand is this one. I just do not get.
The Laboo boos the craze I wish would come back.
The Garbage Pail Kids. I loved those things. H All,
you're with me on this. You're you're the only one
working with us tonight that remembers the Garbage Pail Kids.
You remember that was kind of the It was kind
(11:25):
of the the counterculture answer to the Cabbage Patch Kids.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
I think I almost had all of them, did you.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's amazing. I love those things. They were so funny,
very gen x, weren't they. It was like it was
kind of a screw you to popular. I loved it,
And of course then we all became fans of alternative
music when we got older.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I mean, it was it was so on brand.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So anyway, these Laboo boos a group of burglars snatched
a bunch of these things. They broke into a store
this week one stops and La Puente. Four men broke
in stole all of the inventory, including a number of
the trendy La Booboo dolls. They said several boxes of
(12:10):
the Booboo dolls were stolen. They said the value approximately
seven thousand dollars. The burglars actually brought a truck. They
stole a truck first so that they could steal the
Buboo dolls, because you don't want to rent a truck
for that. That's you don't want to do that. If
you're committing a crime, you might as well steal the
(12:30):
truck too. So anyway, they stole a pickup, stole boxes
of these stupid dolls, and then they and then they
took off and then they unloaded the truck, left the truck.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
The truck was later found by police. So, yeah, some of.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
The price here La Booboos, they say, we'll go for
five hundred dollars. I saw some online that were at
like fifteen hundred. Leabuboo collection dropped in the spring was
retailing for twenty eight dollars, but the market for the
plush collectibles has been hot, and so now they there's skyrocketing.
So there's your trend. I wish would go away. Trying
(13:06):
to think of some of these other ones. Like I said,
I was at the grocery store and I saw the
what I tell you, I saw I forgot already. What
did they call those? That not the it was what
the tied out the plush, the little plush tied all babies,
the beanie baby. Yeah, yeah, I remember the name. Last
segment I don't remember now. Yeah, I saw those for
sale the grocery store. I was shocked.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Yeah, that's cool. I loved beanie babies back in my day.
I wish that game boys would come back. I just
went through a phase where I rewatched Pokemon recently and
it made me really miss my game Boy because I
was really good at the Pokemon game back of the day.
I had all the cool ones and Pikachu was my buddy.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
And yeah, I was like, I was suspended adolescence.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Is this the thing for wow millennials that you're just like, Oh,
I wish I never grew up.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Wow, I thought this was a safe space and we
were saying things that.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Is I'm just wondering I'm curious.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I well, you know, I'm grown up. Yeah, no I do.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I do.
Speaker 9 (14:02):
Hear that about millennials, And it could be that it
could be my blind spot and I am missing adolescents.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But the game Boy was a.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Great chapter in life, all right, yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, And it was around for a long time. Just
that weird black and white or green screen or whatever.
I mean, that thing was decades.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
That was popular, all the colors, the latest ones.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It was.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
It was really cool times, really cool times.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Right, very good. Imagine that you are.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
In need of a vehicle, and so you think I'm
just gonna steal one. One thing you want to do
before you steal the vehicle is check the gauges.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We have a story for you now about an Illinois
man who stole a motorcycle. That was his first mistake.
His second mistake not checking the gas gauge because he
ran out of gas.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
His police were chasing it. Once the engine died.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
You can see he actually tried to pedal away using
his feet Yaba dab.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Didn't work so well.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
In addition to the stolen motorcycle, police say he had
outstanding fellow me.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Florence Fall not too smart.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh, Wow, No, all right, that's from maybe C seven. Yeah,
stealing the vehicle. You want to check those gages, make
sure that there's gas in there. And then finally, if
you are headed to home depot because you're looking for
some day laborers, you may not find them anymore because
they keep getting arrested.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
It's a sound from the home depot rate.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Beppep.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So all of a sudden you have a couple of
different home depots where ice rolls up, but you didn't
know it was ice. For some people, ice just rolled
up and oh look it's ice. They're here and they're
making rest.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Others.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
There was one report this week of a Penske truck
that rolled up and somebody rolled.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Down the window.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
They were talking to the day laborers at home depot
and they said, I need some guys to help me move,
and so people were like okay, and then the doors
opened the back and ice jumped out and they were like, ah, boom,
got you, Trojan Burrito.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Not cool man.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So obviously they were getting everybody that they needed to,
you know, the rapists, the murderers, the drug dealers and
some I assume we're good people, but they were able
to do that with their their trojan horse, Penske truck. Whatever. Yeah,
people are gonna be upset when all of a sudden
(16:33):
there's nobody to do the work. I'm telling you, I
might have to switch. I might have to move here.
My rent went way up, and I'm really not happy
about it. And I thought, I hate moving so much.
But who am I gonna get to help me move?
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I'm must slide somebody some cash that load the truck
up for me. Now, even trust me, when I roll
up in the truck, they're gonna think I'm a Trojan
taco rolling in there. One final one, guys, how about
the don't do it?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
It may have been tempting to do. So.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It was for Abraham Park of Lamorada. He saw all
that COVID money and he thought, I know what I'll do.
I will just put in I'll put it in some
requests for some help.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
So he did.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
He's been arrested now for snagging almost seven million dollars
through a scheme that targeted small business loans during the
COVID nineteen pandemic. So he told his clients he does
his financial services company. He told his clients, Hey, why
don't you just make up some fake entities for your company,
and then I'll just keep putting in more money for
(17:39):
the COVID loans, and then you can keep getting more money,
and then you just you just give me a little kickback.
So he turned in one hundred and twenty fraudulent applications,
got almost seven million dollars oops, played guilty to one
kind of wirefraud one kunt of money laundering as well.
He has to pay back the six point nine nine
(18:01):
three million dollars and another half a million dollars in forfeiture.
I'm guessing he's not gonna be able to come up
with that money. It is hard to repay the millions
of dollars you stole when suddenly you're making about thirty
five cents an hour behind bars. The math just doesn't
work out very well. It's not great. Tragedy struck very
(18:23):
close to home, and I have a story that honestly
hit me kind of hard this week, and for good reason.
But then I did something very I don't think it's foolish.
It was well intended, but I feel kind of dumb
about it. You're going to find out what that is next,
Chris merylfi AM six forty were live everywhere on the
iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Thank you so much for spending time with us.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Chris MERRILKFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on demand
anytime in the iHeartRadio app. And oh podcast is on
the Featured Segments if you are looking for the show
Featured segments abbreviated show. Today we had Chargers Footballer two
and oh now going into the season, so that was
really nice to hear. Before the show got going, we
asked the question, if you're on the app, the iHeart
(19:10):
Radio app, you hit they talk back button, what is
the craze that you never understood or what is the
craze that you wish would come back? This on the
heels of a story of burglars who made off with
seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Worth of La Boo boos, which is the latest craze.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
They're like troll dolls meet gremlins, meet teletubbies. So that
was on our story. That's one that I'm having trouble grasping.
But what is the craze that you wish would come back?
Kyles said, the game boys should love game Boy. I
like the garbage pail kids. They were kind of the
counter to the cabbage patch kids. Love to hear what
yours are? What is the craze that you never understood,
(19:50):
or what is the craze that you wish would come back?
Tragic news this week, and it gets a little bit arsenal.
A couple of weeks ago when Raoula was looking for
a different job. But by the way, this is your
last shift, Yes it is.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I was not looking for a different job.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I'm sorry, but oh he was partying crazy. Yeah, so
I'm gonna miss the.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Hell out of you really likewise, man, thank you for sure,
you know that, and everybody else for sure.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
I'm I'm not excited about this.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know, people come and go in our business, and
there are some that you get attached to, and you're
one that I kind of got attached to. But now
you leave me, which is another lesson not to become
attached in all seriousness. And and I run of this
all the time. I will take a couple of months.
It's really rude. This is a terrible thing to say,
(20:43):
and I shouldn't admit this, but often I will take
a couple of months before I even waste my time
learning somebody's name. And it's not because I disrespect them,
that's not the case. It's because so often people will
start a job and then you know, they'll get a
call from somebody else that they were a play to,
and then they leave right or they get into the
job and they realize this is not what I thought
(21:03):
it was, and so they take off whatever it might be.
So oftentimes I'll take a little time before I before
I kind of open up or get to know somebody.
But I think we've been together for two and a
half almost three years now, we've been doing this, and
you've become like a brother to me, So it really
it really hurts me. Another person who I've been working
with since I first started doing anything with iHeart is.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
The Foushe So Fusch was in here a couple.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Of weeks ago when Raul was out, and I think
before that as well. Anytime that I do any work
during the week, filling in for Tim or filling in
for mo Kelly, of course Fush is in there as
the tech director, doing the same thing.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
That Rowald does.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
And Fush was in a bad car accident this week
and you probably have already heard about this.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
If you haven't, it was a bad deal and so.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
What was the story, guys? He was somebody was murder
or cut him off or something of the sort. Anyway,
his car ends up rolling over and hitting the wall
and the median and then there's video of it. People
people got their phones out because it was such a
horrific accident and then the car burst into flames, and fortunately,
God bless him, three people pulled over ran to the
(22:21):
car to help him and pulled him out of this car,
and I guess his arm got hurt real bad and
they had to tie a tourniquet on there, and then
they just kind of stayed with him as the ambulance
came and and uh, it.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Was he Ona's way to work. I think that's what it.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Was to work actually with him too, by the way,
but I'll let you finish.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
You did get off the phone with him, yeah, literally,
like just now, okay, well hang on hold that thought
because I want to follow up on him. Yeah, that's
important to to where I'm going with this. So, yeah,
he didn't show up for work and everybody's like, well,
where's Fosh. That's not like him. Foush shows up for work, right,
and he's he's one of these lovable, goofy guys that
we work with. In fact, we were giving him a
grief a couple of weeks ago because we found out
(23:05):
that he likes he likes thick women, and so, I mean,
we had this entire conversation about Foush's attraction and doctor Wendy,
who's a relationship expert, is like, yeah, well that's natural, dudes, look.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
For birthing hips. I mean it.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
It was this wonderfully vulnerable and fun conversation that we
had with the guy, and then all of a sudden,
he's he's injured.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Now I'm not around the station on a day to
day basis.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So I ended up hearing about this like so many
of you, when the announcement has made and I think
it was Tim's Instagram came out and he was talking
about what it was. And I got to tell you,
when I first heard about this, my heart, I mean
it dropped. We've all had those phone calls, right where
somebody calls and they go, hey, Grandma died or whatever
it is, right, and it's that same sort of emotion, right,
(23:50):
you had like this pang.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
All of a sudden, this.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
This shock, this anxiety and fear and frustration and anger
and sorrow and all these other emotions, right and and
all of a sudden, I was like, oh my, oh
my god, what's going on? And I and I swear
I'm I'm not a religious person, but I just kind
of I just kind of looked up and I was like,
(24:14):
you know, why him? Why Foush? Why him? Fush is
one of the good ones. He's the guy that's always
there for us. He is the embodiment of a great soul.
He's the one who can take a joke. Fush can
dish it back. He's the guy that we love the
goof on because we love him. Why Foush? Why not Raoul?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
He's none of those things.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Raoul abandons the people around him when we need him
the most. He just leaves us in the hands and Nikki,
who were not really sure about but she seems fun.
She also seems like she might murder us slowly, just
to know what it feels like to watch the light
fade from our eyes. Why God, why Foush? So anyway,
(25:00):
when I found out about it, I just saw that
he was he was hurting. He was in the hospital,
were the reports, and so I sent a text. In fact,
i'll read you the text. I didn't know what to
say because I didn't know what his situation was, and
I didn't I didn't want to be like, hey, buddy,
I hope you're doing great, you know, because obviously I
know he was in a bad spot.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
So let me see if I can find this. I got. Yeah,
here it is.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I said it to him Friday, I said, just saw
Conway's post. OMG, thinking about you, Bud. I don't know
what else to say. Wow, I don't know what else
to say. But I wanted him to know that he
means something to me, right, but I don't know, wanted
to be too heavy. And then I didn't get a
response back, and I thought, oh, my text was that was?
That was a bad text. So rather than double down
and make it worse, I just kind of I shut up.
And then I found out that he was he's an
(25:42):
ICU and was he intubated?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
He was out, Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
He was on a breathing incubated right.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Oh you're kidding me, and intubated and he was incubating intubated. Yep,
that's the one on a respirator. But you just talked
to him. Yeah, so he's off of okay, so he's
off of it, sting on I head. But by the way,
those of you that I did not know that she
was on the phone with Fush, So you just talked
to him. What did he saying.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I literally saw Tiffany Hobbs name pop up on my
phone and we were planning to visit together tomorrow. But
she did tell me that she was going today, so
I said, give me the update when after you go
see him.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
And she called me and she said, hey, Kayla.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
I got the foush and I heard his beautiful voice
and he said.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Hey, Kayla.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
He pretty much is so grateful for the love that
he's been receiving. He didn't know how loved and cherished
he was, so it was so nice, or it is
so nice to know that he has the whole station
behind him as well as the listeners, and how supported
he's been. He said, it's been a rough couple of days. Yeah,
he still has a few surgeries ahead of him. I
(26:44):
believe he's going into surgery tomorrow. He doesn't know what time.
So I'm going to go see him on Tuesday, So okay, yeah,
and I'll get.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
You if you want to call me when you're there,
I mean text me ahead of time, because I don't,
you know, I might be eating or.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Something I don't want.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
I'll definitely, but yeah, if you would, I would, Yeah,
I would come, of course.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I mean, part of the reason he feels so lebt
is not only because we're all talking about him on
the air, but because so many of you have helped out.
Tim Conway Junior did set up a go fundme for
foosh Uh and right now it's at eighty seven five
hundred dollars has been raised, and over a thousand people
(27:27):
have donated. Encourage you to do the same thing. GoFundMe
dot com and then you just search for foush f
o O s H f o O s H And
so Raoul and I were trying to figure out what
do we do for the guy? And I don't know
if I wasn't gonna say this on the air, because
I thought it'd be really funny if I did it
just on my own, but I was I was gonna
get him like a new.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Pair of cargo shorts. Oh.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We always joke about how he wears cargo shorts all
the time, right, And I'm literally wearing cargo shorts for
him tonight. And my other ones were in the Yeah,
they were in the laundry, but but I was thinking
about him when I put these on.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I was like, ah, this is for foosh.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
He's going to be super uncomfortable when I tell him that.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
I love it. I love uncomfortable. That makes me very happy.
You know.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
Oscar is the one that told me about what happened,
and I'm glad he kind of told me everything because
I would have if I would have just heard, oh,
he was an accident, I would have liked jokingly text
him like learn how to drive, bro. Yeah, they didn't
know it was that bad. So I'm so happy to
hear that he's doing okay.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
So oscars are APD. I haven't talked to him either,
but yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The other thing too, is that every story I saw
about and there were other car accidents obviously in Los
Angeles this week or in the you know, in the Metro,
and then other people were not so lucky, and I
just I just kept thinking how horrific it is for
our friend, but then also how fortunate we are that
we can talk about it, and that we're not you know,
the Kalis planet and go see him at the hospital,
(28:52):
and that we're not all visiting a funeral, you know
what I mean. And so I'm I'm just so grateful
for whatever reason that he's that he's survived. And I
don't want to say, Okay, I'll find out after these
surgeries and whatnot, but I'm just so thankful that he's
still here for us to.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
To laugh with.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Honestly, that felt very heavy all of a sudden. So
you know, this show, we don't really get heavy very often,
but man deserves it up. Next, enough of that nonsense.
There's no business like business. It's right ahead, Chris Merril

tuned in, it is great to have you as well.
You heard Scott in the news talking about the water
(01:02):
main that broke UH Porter of Ranch Granada Hills and
what a mess that is if you are in that area.
They're they're saying, you know, don't try to turn your
water on because they have to try to repressurize all
the pipes and they're trying to get the water main
fixed after.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Days of dry faucets in this Granada Hills neighborhood. This
was the last thing Bartan and loosing Aarian expected to
see on their security camera Saturday an night.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What is yours home?
Speaker 7 (01:27):
And we're very lucky that no one of my grandkids
were here and they were like otherwise they would have
been that they were goodness survived this water.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
The Musarians live near the corner of Balboa and Cesenen Boulevards,
where the LEDWP says a pressure spike caused a temporary
connection to blow out, sending a gate and tops of
trees flying down the street.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
That was scary.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
And causing extensive damage to the family's longtime home.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
You can't water from here.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I mean, you hear about flash flooding, but you don't
expect to happen when it's not raining, right.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Anything could have.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Happened to my grandkids. They could have been hair playing
with the door, then you know something came to their head.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
They're Notata Hills has been suffering for about a week now.
No water, rashing water, go, don't use water.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And now you always see these thousands of gallons of
water just going.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
It's a waste.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Oh have you ever had to go without water? Helly
you ever. Have you ever been to place where it's like, hey,
the water's.
Speaker 9 (02:33):
Out, Oh yeah, and then awful, all of a sudden,
you realize just how often.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
You use water.
Speaker 9 (02:41):
Yeah, there was one time I thought all my bills
were on autopay, back when I was rich, and I
had all my bills except for my water bill, and
I called the water company cursing them to shreds because
I paid my water bill on autopay and I am
proud of that. Anyway, it turns out that bill was
not on autopay. I did not pay my bill, and
I was like, three days without water was awful.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, it wasn't cool.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
What did you do go to the gym and shower
and stuff for Well.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, that's when I lived in Jersey.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
My brothers and family lived like right down the street,
so I'll just go over their house and do all
my business and then you know this guy back.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, no, it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I had water go out at my place this week,
unrelated to this, and because I look, I'm classy, I
live in an apartment complex and I'm cheap, and uh,
somebody in one of the other apartments there, I don't
know if they had a fire or if whatever it was,
fire alarms star's going off at six thirty in the morning,
We're all standing out by the road, and the fire
(03:38):
department was on it. I mean they got there in
under an hour, and you know they I mean, the
nearest fire department is almost a mile and a half away,
so you can understand why it would take an hour
to get there. In the meantime, my son and I,
who were already awake, we said, let's go get some
breakfast burritos. We did, came back, fire department still wasn't
there yet. Anyway, when it finally got the you know,
they finally turned the alarm off.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Then we find out that one of the other apartments.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Don't know if there was a fire or what, but
that we know the sprinklers went off and it made
this hillacious mess all.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Over the place.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
So earlier this week, fortunately I got up early and
I had taken my shower and stuff. But I was
I was on the commode, and I'm a fancy guy
who uses a bidet, and all of a sudden, the
pressure was gone out of my bidet, and I went,
this is not good. I'm going to have to go
back to like the nineteen hundreds and use teepee and
that was a horrible experience for me.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
So that's that's what it's like. Yep.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, So I'm sure you can all relate. So
what that's all about? No, but then you all of
a sudden you go, thank goodness, I took a shower,
and thank goodness there's enough water in the tank to
be able to flush, because if there isn't, then you're
out of luck. And for the people in Granada Hills area,
(04:55):
it's not like you can go find some other water
to you know, manually fly your toilet.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Have you ever had to do that?
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Like, we don't have to open the back of the
toilet and then pour water in there.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Oh god, No, you did not do it. You didn't
do it that way, did you.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
No, that's like a plumbing No.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, of course, you just pour it straight in the
bowl and it will flush itself.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
No, it won't, it'll flow.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
No, it will not. Really yes, wow.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So when I was uh, my wife and I were
were going hardcore and living in a in an RV
at my parents place.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
They have this place.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I was literally living in a caravan down by the river.
They've got this little river that runs in front of
their house. They're back in the woods, Sister Kissing country,
this kind of thing. And if we lost power, that
meant that the well, the well couldn't pump water, and
so we didn't have any water. So not only do
we lose power, we also didn't have any water. So
that meant that we took five gallon buckets down to
the river and we were we were humping these five
(05:53):
gallon buckets up the bank to the house so that
we could use the buckets and pour them into the
toilet to flush. You can't do that out of hills
where you're gonna get the water, you can't do that.
So then I guess what do you do? Hopefully you've
got family nearby, right Anyway, they say that this could
go throughout the weekend. They had this another main break,
I guess as they were trying to fix this one.
And it's just been what a disaster, what an absolute disaster.
(06:18):
I mean, it's one of those things that they're gonna
talk about like HeLa, did you know, It's like, well,
I'd go three days without water, I'd go a week
without water.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's the worst absolutely the worst. My heart goes out
to you, so sorry you're having to deal with that.
That is terrible. And there's gonna be more of this too,
because all of our all of our pipes are on
hundred years old, right. I mean, as the city was expanding,
they started putting in these pipes and and they go, oh,
these pipes will last one hundred years.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Well, guess what we're coming up on.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
All of a sudden, We're starting to say one hundred years,
one hundred years in this neighborhood, hundred years in that
neighborhoode hundred years in this neighborhood, and we're gonna start
seeing some failures. It's gonna happen more and more. Just
get used to it. Get used to it. Uh, where
are we here?
Speaker 7 (06:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Because the show got started a little bit late. I
hope this is all right with you. I did not
run this by producer Kayla at all, though I would
prefer not to talk any politics tonight, if that's okay
with you.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
You know, that's like my favorite segment of the show.
But if we have to sacrifice it, then you'd be
all right. I'll be a team player. Yeah, let's do that,
all right? Very good, So we'll do that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
We will do LA Law, which is the law makers,
the law breakers, the times that there ought to be
a law. And as always, we open up the iHeart
App and if you hit the talkback button, here's your
question tonight. In our LA Law segment, We've got a
story about le Boo Boo and if you're unfamiliar with
le Boo Boo, you're about to find out and then
you'll wish that you hadn't. It is this latest I
guess toy craze. So our question related to that, what
(07:47):
is something that what is the craze that you never
really understood or what is the craze you wish would
come back? I was at the I was at Albertsons
today and I saw they were selling Beanie Baby at
the grocery store.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
What a time, Yeah, what a time.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I was surprised that those are still around, but evidently
can still get Beanie Baby. So what is the craze
you never understood or what is the craze you wish
would come back? That as your talk back today, if
you're listening on the iHeart app, just go ahead hit
that talk back button let us know. And in the meantime,
we'll check on your news and then we'll hit the lawmakers,
law breakers, and the times that there ought to be
a law Next Chris Merril, I AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
We're live everywhere in the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Chris Merril, KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk and
nine demand anytime and the iHeart Radio App. What is
the craze you never understood or what is the craze
that you wish that would come back? The reason we
ask is because of this story as part of our segment,
the features the lawmakers, the lawbreakers, and the times that
there ought to be a law. So it was this
(09:03):
week that I found out what le Booboo was. I
did not know, and my apologies for my naievete but
I have been educated. Le Booboo is not a knockoff
AB what do they call that FABLETICX brand? I thought
it was.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
It is not. It is the latest craze.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It is basically troll dolls, meet the Gremlins, meet the Teletubbies.
I actually saw a sample of one of these. Somebody
in my office had one. I lost all respect for her.
It's about five inch high, demon beast thing. It looks
(09:49):
like a troll doll. It's got the hair of a
troll doll. It's got the face of a gremlin, and
it's got the body of a teletubby. It's hideous. It
is the absolute ugliest thing. And the only thing that
I can figure out is that somehow these things have
become so hideous that people thought they were cute, kind
(10:10):
of like that ugliest dog contest, you know where people
you heard Scott Carr talking about the ugliest dog contests,
and it's like some people find the really ugly dog
super cute. That's the only thing I can figure out
with these things. They are hideous. So if you didn't
know what they are, now you do. If you didn't
know what they are. Hopefully, hopefully my description was up
to par. It's been described in news as a tooth
(10:32):
lee gremlin looking plush toy. They've exploded in popularity, and
I see that some people are taking and putting these
stupid things on their designer purses, so they're hanging them
almost like a charm. Now for clarity, these little dolls
that look like the kind of things that would be
rejected as prizes in the crane game at the county Fair.
(10:54):
They are selling for anywhere from twenty five dollars to
fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I don't understand it at all.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So our question on the talk back what is the
craze you never understood or what is the craze that
you wish would come back for me? The one I
don't understand is this one. I just do not get.
The Laboo boos the craze I wish would come back.
The Garbage Pail Kids. I loved those things. H All,
you're with me on this. You're you're the only one
working with us tonight that remembers the Garbage Pail Kids.
You remember that was kind of the It was kind
(11:25):
of the the counterculture answer to the Cabbage Patch Kids.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
I think I almost had all of them, did you.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's amazing. I love those things. They were so funny,
very gen x, weren't they. It was like it was
kind of a screw you to popular. I loved it,
And of course then we all became fans of alternative
music when we got older.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I mean, it was it was so on brand.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So anyway, these Laboo boos a group of burglars snatched
a bunch of these things. They broke into a store
this week one stops and La Puente. Four men broke
in stole all of the inventory, including a number of
the trendy La Booboo dolls. They said several boxes of
(12:10):
the Booboo dolls were stolen. They said the value approximately
seven thousand dollars. The burglars actually brought a truck. They
stole a truck first so that they could steal the
Buboo dolls, because you don't want to rent a truck
for that. That's you don't want to do that. If
you're committing a crime, you might as well steal the
(12:30):
truck too. So anyway, they stole a pickup, stole boxes
of these stupid dolls, and then they and then they
took off and then they unloaded the truck, left the truck.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
The truck was later found by police. So, yeah, some of.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
The price here La Booboos, they say, we'll go for
five hundred dollars. I saw some online that were at
like fifteen hundred. Leabuboo collection dropped in the spring was
retailing for twenty eight dollars, but the market for the
plush collectibles has been hot, and so now they there's skyrocketing.
So there's your trend. I wish would go away. Trying
(13:06):
to think of some of these other ones. Like I said,
I was at the grocery store and I saw the
what I tell you, I saw I forgot already. What
did they call those? That not the it was what
the tied out the plush, the little plush tied all babies,
the beanie baby. Yeah, yeah, I remember the name. Last
segment I don't remember now. Yeah, I saw those for
sale the grocery store. I was shocked.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Yeah, that's cool. I loved beanie babies back in my day.
I wish that game boys would come back. I just
went through a phase where I rewatched Pokemon recently and
it made me really miss my game Boy because I
was really good at the Pokemon game back of the day.
I had all the cool ones and Pikachu was my buddy.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
And yeah, I was like, I was suspended adolescence.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Is this the thing for wow millennials that you're just like, Oh,
I wish I never grew up.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Wow, I thought this was a safe space and we
were saying things that.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Is I'm just wondering I'm curious.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I well, you know, I'm grown up. Yeah, no I do.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I do.
Speaker 9 (14:02):
Hear that about millennials, And it could be that it
could be my blind spot and I am missing adolescents.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But the game Boy was a.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Great chapter in life, all right, yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, And it was around for a long time. Just
that weird black and white or green screen or whatever.
I mean, that thing was decades.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
That was popular, all the colors, the latest ones.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It was.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
It was really cool times, really cool times.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Right, very good. Imagine that you are.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
In need of a vehicle, and so you think I'm
just gonna steal one. One thing you want to do
before you steal the vehicle is check the gauges.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We have a story for you now about an Illinois
man who stole a motorcycle. That was his first mistake.
His second mistake not checking the gas gauge because he
ran out of gas.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
His police were chasing it. Once the engine died.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
You can see he actually tried to pedal away using
his feet Yaba dab.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Didn't work so well.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
In addition to the stolen motorcycle, police say he had
outstanding fellow me.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Florence Fall not too smart.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh, Wow, No, all right, that's from maybe C seven. Yeah,
stealing the vehicle. You want to check those gages, make
sure that there's gas in there. And then finally, if
you are headed to home depot because you're looking for
some day laborers, you may not find them anymore because
they keep getting arrested.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
It's a sound from the home depot rate.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Beppep.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So all of a sudden you have a couple of
different home depots where ice rolls up, but you didn't
know it was ice. For some people, ice just rolled
up and oh look it's ice. They're here and they're
making rest.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Others.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
There was one report this week of a Penske truck
that rolled up and somebody rolled.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Down the window.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
They were talking to the day laborers at home depot
and they said, I need some guys to help me move,
and so people were like okay, and then the doors
opened the back and ice jumped out and they were like, ah, boom,
got you, Trojan Burrito.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Not cool man.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So obviously they were getting everybody that they needed to,
you know, the rapists, the murderers, the drug dealers and
some I assume we're good people, but they were able
to do that with their their trojan horse, Penske truck. Whatever. Yeah,
people are gonna be upset when all of a sudden
(16:33):
there's nobody to do the work. I'm telling you, I
might have to switch. I might have to move here.
My rent went way up, and I'm really not happy
about it. And I thought, I hate moving so much.
But who am I gonna get to help me move?
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I'm must slide somebody some cash that load the truck
up for me. Now, even trust me, when I roll
up in the truck, they're gonna think I'm a Trojan
taco rolling in there. One final one, guys, how about
the don't do it?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
It may have been tempting to do. So.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It was for Abraham Park of Lamorada. He saw all
that COVID money and he thought, I know what I'll do.
I will just put in I'll put it in some
requests for some help.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
So he did.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
He's been arrested now for snagging almost seven million dollars
through a scheme that targeted small business loans during the
COVID nineteen pandemic. So he told his clients he does
his financial services company. He told his clients, Hey, why
don't you just make up some fake entities for your company,
and then I'll just keep putting in more money for
(17:39):
the COVID loans, and then you can keep getting more money,
and then you just you just give me a little kickback.
So he turned in one hundred and twenty fraudulent applications,
got almost seven million dollars oops, played guilty to one
kind of wirefraud one kunt of money laundering as well.
He has to pay back the six point nine nine
(18:01):
three million dollars and another half a million dollars in forfeiture.
I'm guessing he's not gonna be able to come up
with that money. It is hard to repay the millions
of dollars you stole when suddenly you're making about thirty
five cents an hour behind bars. The math just doesn't
work out very well. It's not great. Tragedy struck very
(18:23):
close to home, and I have a story that honestly
hit me kind of hard this week, and for good reason.
But then I did something very I don't think it's foolish.
It was well intended, but I feel kind of dumb
about it. You're going to find out what that is next,
Chris merylfi AM six forty were live everywhere on the
iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Thank you so much for spending time with us.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Chris MERRILKFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on demand
anytime in the iHeartRadio app. And oh podcast is on
the Featured Segments if you are looking for the show
Featured segments abbreviated show. Today we had Chargers Footballer two
and oh now going into the season, so that was
really nice to hear. Before the show got going, we
asked the question, if you're on the app, the iHeart
(19:10):
Radio app, you hit they talk back button, what is
the craze that you never understood or what is the
craze that you wish would come back? This on the
heels of a story of burglars who made off with
seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Worth of La Boo boos, which is the latest craze.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
They're like troll dolls meet gremlins, meet teletubbies. So that
was on our story. That's one that I'm having trouble grasping.
But what is the craze that you wish would come back?
Kyles said, the game boys should love game Boy. I
like the garbage pail kids. They were kind of the
counter to the cabbage patch kids. Love to hear what
yours are? What is the craze that you never understood,
(19:50):
or what is the craze that you wish would come back?
Tragic news this week, and it gets a little bit arsenal.
A couple of weeks ago when Raoula was looking for
a different job. But by the way, this is your
last shift, Yes it is.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I was not looking for a different job.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I'm sorry, but oh he was partying crazy. Yeah, so
I'm gonna miss the.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Hell out of you really likewise, man, thank you for sure,
you know that, and everybody else for sure.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
I'm I'm not excited about this.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know, people come and go in our business, and
there are some that you get attached to, and you're
one that I kind of got attached to. But now
you leave me, which is another lesson not to become
attached in all seriousness. And and I run of this
all the time. I will take a couple of months.
It's really rude. This is a terrible thing to say,
(20:43):
and I shouldn't admit this, but often I will take
a couple of months before I even waste my time
learning somebody's name. And it's not because I disrespect them,
that's not the case. It's because so often people will
start a job and then you know, they'll get a
call from somebody else that they were a play to,
and then they leave right or they get into the
job and they realize this is not what I thought
(21:03):
it was, and so they take off whatever it might be.
So oftentimes I'll take a little time before I before
I kind of open up or get to know somebody.
But I think we've been together for two and a
half almost three years now, we've been doing this, and
you've become like a brother to me, So it really
it really hurts me. Another person who I've been working
with since I first started doing anything with iHeart is.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
The Foushe So Fusch was in here a couple.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Of weeks ago when Raul was out, and I think
before that as well. Anytime that I do any work
during the week, filling in for Tim or filling in
for mo Kelly, of course Fush is in there as
the tech director, doing the same thing.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
That Rowald does.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
And Fush was in a bad car accident this week
and you probably have already heard about this.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
If you haven't, it was a bad deal and so.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
What was the story, guys? He was somebody was murder
or cut him off or something of the sort. Anyway,
his car ends up rolling over and hitting the wall
and the median and then there's video of it. People
people got their phones out because it was such a
horrific accident and then the car burst into flames, and fortunately,
God bless him, three people pulled over ran to the
(22:21):
car to help him and pulled him out of this car,
and I guess his arm got hurt real bad and
they had to tie a tourniquet on there, and then
they just kind of stayed with him as the ambulance
came and and uh, it.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Was he Ona's way to work. I think that's what it.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Was to work actually with him too, by the way,
but I'll let you finish.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
You did get off the phone with him, yeah, literally,
like just now, okay, well hang on hold that thought
because I want to follow up on him. Yeah, that's
important to to where I'm going with this. So, yeah,
he didn't show up for work and everybody's like, well,
where's Fosh. That's not like him. Foush shows up for work, right,
and he's he's one of these lovable, goofy guys that
we work with. In fact, we were giving him a
grief a couple of weeks ago because we found out
(23:05):
that he likes he likes thick women, and so, I mean,
we had this entire conversation about Foush's attraction and doctor Wendy,
who's a relationship expert, is like, yeah, well that's natural, dudes, look.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
For birthing hips. I mean it.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
It was this wonderfully vulnerable and fun conversation that we
had with the guy, and then all of a sudden,
he's he's injured.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Now I'm not around the station on a day to
day basis.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So I ended up hearing about this like so many
of you, when the announcement has made and I think
it was Tim's Instagram came out and he was talking
about what it was. And I got to tell you,
when I first heard about this, my heart, I mean
it dropped. We've all had those phone calls, right where
somebody calls and they go, hey, Grandma died or whatever
it is, right, and it's that same sort of emotion, right,
(23:50):
you had like this pang.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
All of a sudden, this.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
This shock, this anxiety and fear and frustration and anger
and sorrow and all these other emotions, right and and
all of a sudden, I was like, oh my, oh
my god, what's going on? And I and I swear
I'm I'm not a religious person, but I just kind
of I just kind of looked up and I was like,
(24:14):
you know, why him? Why Foush? Why him? Fush is
one of the good ones. He's the guy that's always
there for us. He is the embodiment of a great soul.
He's the one who can take a joke. Fush can
dish it back. He's the guy that we love the
goof on because we love him. Why Foush? Why not Raoul?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
He's none of those things.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Raoul abandons the people around him when we need him
the most. He just leaves us in the hands and Nikki,
who were not really sure about but she seems fun.
She also seems like she might murder us slowly, just
to know what it feels like to watch the light
fade from our eyes. Why God, why Foush? So anyway,
(25:00):
when I found out about it, I just saw that
he was he was hurting. He was in the hospital,
were the reports, and so I sent a text. In fact,
i'll read you the text. I didn't know what to
say because I didn't know what his situation was, and
I didn't I didn't want to be like, hey, buddy,
I hope you're doing great, you know, because obviously I
know he was in a bad spot.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
So let me see if I can find this. I got. Yeah,
here it is.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I said it to him Friday, I said, just saw
Conway's post. OMG, thinking about you, Bud. I don't know
what else to say. Wow, I don't know what else
to say. But I wanted him to know that he
means something to me, right, but I don't know, wanted
to be too heavy. And then I didn't get a
response back, and I thought, oh, my text was that was?
That was a bad text. So rather than double down
and make it worse, I just kind of I shut up.
And then I found out that he was he's an
(25:42):
ICU and was he intubated?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
He was out, Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
He was on a breathing incubated right.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Oh you're kidding me, and intubated and he was incubating intubated. Yep,
that's the one on a respirator. But you just talked
to him. Yeah, so he's off of okay, so he's
off of it, sting on I head. But by the way,
those of you that I did not know that she
was on the phone with Fush, So you just talked
to him. What did he saying.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I literally saw Tiffany Hobbs name pop up on my
phone and we were planning to visit together tomorrow. But
she did tell me that she was going today, so
I said, give me the update when after you go
see him.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
And she called me and she said, hey, Kayla.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
I got the foush and I heard his beautiful voice
and he said.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Hey, Kayla.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
He pretty much is so grateful for the love that
he's been receiving. He didn't know how loved and cherished
he was, so it was so nice, or it is
so nice to know that he has the whole station
behind him as well as the listeners, and how supported
he's been. He said, it's been a rough couple of days. Yeah,
he still has a few surgeries ahead of him. I
(26:44):
believe he's going into surgery tomorrow. He doesn't know what time.
So I'm going to go see him on Tuesday, So okay, yeah,
and I'll get.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
You if you want to call me when you're there,
I mean text me ahead of time, because I don't,
you know, I might be eating or.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Something I don't want.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
I'll definitely, but yeah, if you would, I would, Yeah,
I would come, of course.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I mean, part of the reason he feels so lebt
is not only because we're all talking about him on
the air, but because so many of you have helped out.
Tim Conway Junior did set up a go fundme for
foosh Uh and right now it's at eighty seven five
hundred dollars has been raised, and over a thousand people
(27:27):
have donated. Encourage you to do the same thing. GoFundMe
dot com and then you just search for foush f
o O s H f o O s H And
so Raoul and I were trying to figure out what
do we do for the guy? And I don't know
if I wasn't gonna say this on the air, because
I thought it'd be really funny if I did it
just on my own, but I was I was gonna
get him like a new.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Pair of cargo shorts. Oh.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We always joke about how he wears cargo shorts all
the time, right, And I'm literally wearing cargo shorts for
him tonight. And my other ones were in the Yeah,
they were in the laundry, but but I was thinking
about him when I put these on.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I was like, ah, this is for foosh.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
He's going to be super uncomfortable when I tell him that.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
I love it. I love uncomfortable. That makes me very happy.
You know.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
Oscar is the one that told me about what happened,
and I'm glad he kind of told me everything because
I would have if I would have just heard, oh,
he was an accident, I would have liked jokingly text
him like learn how to drive, bro. Yeah, they didn't
know it was that bad. So I'm so happy to
hear that he's doing okay.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
So oscars are APD. I haven't talked to him either,
but yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The other thing too, is that every story I saw
about and there were other car accidents obviously in Los
Angeles this week or in the you know, in the Metro,
and then other people were not so lucky, and I
just I just kept thinking how horrific it is for
our friend, but then also how fortunate we are that
we can talk about it, and that we're not you know,
the Kalis planet and go see him at the hospital,
(28:52):
and that we're not all visiting a funeral, you know
what I mean. And so I'm I'm just so grateful
for whatever reason that he's that he's survived. And I
don't want to say, Okay, I'll find out after these
surgeries and whatnot, but I'm just so thankful that he's
still here for us to.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
To laugh with.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Honestly, that felt very heavy all of a sudden. So
you know, this show, we don't really get heavy very often,
but man deserves it up. Next, enough of that nonsense.
There's no business like business. It's right ahead, Chris Merril
